00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Your underground clinic, I think we should get it up and running again.
00:05The CEO has no knowledge officially.
00:07Monique can't know or it's over.
00:09I didn't think word would spread this fast.
00:10Just confirms how much the need is out there.
00:12I'm enlisting more nurses for our mission.
00:14Everything needs to go through Gia.
00:15You flat with Monique, don't you?
00:16Oh right, I should keep my big mouth shut.
00:19Things with you and Drew, still a bit strained.
00:22He just wants us to get back on track.
00:23And then he suspected you of having an affair.
00:26Fingers crossed we've put that one to bed.
00:28Hey, you know, I was not here, she just left her phone behind.
00:40Oh, you found it.
00:41What are these?
00:42The photos.
00:43What?
00:44Of you taking your clothes off.
00:46Yeah, those ones.
00:48Who were they for?
00:49So, you went through my phone?
00:51You didn't send them to me.
00:52I didn't send them to anyone.
00:53Why'd you take them?
00:54So you don't get to ask me there, you went...
00:56Don't deflect.
00:57Don't deflect my privacy.
00:59So, what else did you go through?
01:01My texts and my emails?
01:02Should I?
01:05I took those selfies ages ago.
01:07Who were they for?
01:09They were for you.
01:10Okay, I wanted to try and get the spark back,
01:13but I didn't like them, so I didn't send them.
01:16Why not?
01:17I don't know, I just thought I looked tired,
01:20and like I was trying way too hard.
01:22You look gorgeous, like you always do.
01:25Well, I didn't feel attractive, okay, then or now.
01:27Babe.
01:28Just don't, okay?
01:30You should have told me.
01:31You would have just said I was being silly.
01:32You are.
01:33It's just why...
01:34Just, okay, just, here.
01:36Look, I need to get back to work.
01:40Hold on, Harper.
01:50Watch where you're going.
01:51Oh!
01:52Oh, sorry.
01:53What's with the guilty face?
01:55What?
01:56What?
01:57No, no guilt, just face.
01:58Just getting more supplies for Edie.
02:00Harper's orders.
02:01Uh-huh.
02:02Mm-hmm.
02:04All right.
02:05Anyway.
02:10We need to restock.
02:11Last night was...
02:12Dick Durkin, the best mate.
02:13Shh!
02:14My neck's on the prowl.
02:24Emmett's asking for you.
02:25I just need a minute.
02:27You okay?
02:29I can't keep lying to him.
02:30Harper.
02:32It's breaking me.
02:33It's breaking us.
02:34What, and you don't think telling him isn't just going to make everything worse?
02:38That I'd do this to him?
02:41Am I irresistible?
02:42You didn't stand a chance.
02:43Don't.
02:45Okay, sorry.
02:47Look, just focus on your family.
02:48It's what you want, isn't it?
02:50I just can't get away from all these lies.
02:52It's in the past.
02:54As easy as that.
02:56Can be.
02:57Lucky you.
02:59It's called getting over it.
03:05Are you okay?
03:06Uh, yeah, just a work thing.
03:08Um, look...
03:09No, Sam, no, I'm sorry.
03:11Me first?
03:12Sure.
03:16You got a call.
03:17I answered it.
03:18And this photo popped up on your home screen.
03:20I wasn't snooping.
03:21Okay.
03:22I just jumped to the wrong conclusion because things have felt so strange lately.
03:27I know.
03:29I'm an idiot.
03:30I'm a prize idiot.
03:32I just put it behind us.
03:35I don't like who I am right now, thinking these things.
03:40I don't know what's going on.
03:43I couldn't handle it if you bailed on me again.
03:45I'm not bailing.
03:47Well, sometimes it feels like part of you really is.
03:50What?
03:52I'm just... I'm here.
03:55I mean, we're good last night, weren't we?
03:57Before we got interrupted.
03:58I mean, we can...
04:00We can try again.
04:01We can...
04:02Spend time with the kids.
04:04And talk.
04:06Get back on track, yeah?
04:11Okay.
04:21Another whisky. Make it a double.
04:25Yay! You came.
04:27I wasn't sure if you got my tea.
04:29Of course.
04:30Getting an early start.
04:31You know it.
04:32Oh!
04:33Everything okay?
04:35The kind of woman just enjoy a whisky.
04:38It's a tough case.
04:40Patients are a breeze.
04:41It's the coffee.
04:42It's the tea.
04:43It's the tea.
04:44It's the tea.
04:45It's the tea.
04:46It's the tea.
04:47It's the tea.
04:48It's the tea.
04:49It's the breeze.
04:50It's the colleagues I could do without.
04:52The Drew?
04:53Why would you ask that?
04:55He dumped his whole surgical list on you?
04:58No, not him.
05:00Just other people who can't move on.
05:02They just get stuck in wine.
05:04Like they can't do anything to change it.
05:06Gonna name and shame?
05:08Nope.
05:09Okay.
05:10I'm drinking.
05:12Yeah, I can see that.
05:14Join me?
05:16Yeah, maybe one.
05:17Tragic.
05:19Was everything okay after the cholecystectomy?
05:22Was Drew all good being called in?
05:24You heard about that.
05:26Selina mentioned it.
05:28Oh, did she now?
05:30Well, I'd rather not talk about Drew if it's all the same to you.
05:33Sure.
05:34Or work for that matter.
05:36Has something happened?
05:37Because I'm right here if you need to talk.
05:39Actually, let's not talk at all.
05:41Let's go and play pool.
05:42Aren't you going to finish that?
05:43Are you literally just going to question everything I do?
05:45You know what?
05:46I'm going to go.
05:47Oh, well, welcome to Lightweight's Anonymous.
05:48Really?
05:49That's how you're going to play this?
05:50Fine.
05:51You do you.
05:52Have fun.
05:53Wait.
06:06Do we get it?
06:07Do we get it?
06:08Do we get it?
06:09Kasi, Kasi.
06:10Oh, almost.
06:13Hey.
06:15What are we up to?
06:16Look, Superman.
06:17Mama's home.
06:18Hi, Superman.
06:19I'm trying to get a perfect action shot.
06:20Keep flying out behind him as he jumps off the couch.
06:23All right, let's take a break, eh?
06:24I'm going to start dinner.
06:25We'll go again later, OK?
06:26I promise.
06:29I guess you're ready.
06:31Yeah, take it out after crash.
06:32Wine?
06:34Oh, you read my mind.
06:36Hard day?
06:37Oh, you know, just Monique wanting to be over everything I crash.
06:41That's her job.
06:42Doesn't she love it?
06:43I don't know.
06:44She's been lording it over me every second she gets.
06:47Still your hospital.
06:49Our hospital.
06:50Everyone's.
06:51And we're going to do what we do no matter what.
06:53Fighting words.
06:57You OK, buddy?
06:59You what?
07:02Large combine dressings?
07:04Supply room.
07:06Great capacity.
07:07I thought you liked being popular.
07:11Large combine dressings.
07:13Where are the absorbable sutures?
07:15We need a plan.
07:16Oh, power through.
07:17How's that for a plan?
07:18Yeah, and close the doors.
07:19We're not turning anyone away.
07:21Well, we refer them to ED.
07:22Ought to come back tomorrow night.
07:23Absorbable sutures.
07:25We could call Esther, ask for reinforcements.
07:28The less people who know the better.
07:29Monique is no fool.
07:30I'm not scared of her.
07:32Your job's on the line.
07:33Sage's too.
07:34Yours too.
07:35Miss Partrip can do her worse.
07:36Let's give the bigger picture.
07:37I am.
07:38This clinic is necessary.
07:39We don't close to anyone.
07:40We don't have to work all night.
07:42So that is what we'll do.
07:45Just your address there.
07:48Yeah?
07:49Absorbable sutures.
08:03Jesus, Phil.
08:05The sun's only just gone down.
08:08Life of the party, you know me.
08:11What have you been up to?
08:12Partying with your besties.
08:14God, it's like I'm not even welcome there anymore.
08:16Like everything before has just been erased.
08:19Welcome where?
08:20Shortland Street.
08:21Obviously.
08:22Right.
08:23Of course.
08:24Well, you are kind of a headache for all of us right now.
08:26You know I'm just doing my literal job.
08:29Whatever helps you sleep at night.
08:31Are you okay?
08:33Never better.
08:34Because I get that you're drunk, but you're being kind of mean too.
08:36You can talk, Mon.
08:37I would love to.
08:38I would love to talk.
08:39I'd love to talk about my job or how I feel or how my day is going,
08:42but I can't because everyone is mad at me all the time.
08:46Right.
08:47It sucks.
08:48I'm sorry.
08:49I don't want your apology.
08:50Just be a friend or don't.
08:52I am your friend.
08:53Well, it doesn't feel like it right now.
08:54I know.
08:55I get that.
08:57Probably haven't been much of a friend for a while now.
09:00I've been sort of lost.
09:04Do you want to talk about it?
09:06I can't.
09:10Well, it can't be that bad.
09:12I'm hard to shock, you know.
09:14You'll hate me.
09:15Everyone will.
09:16Well, good, because that will take the heat off me.
09:19I've done something really stupid.
09:21Oh, babe.
09:23Really, like, life-ruining, family-destroying,
09:26regret it for the rest of your life kind of stupid.
09:28You can tell me.
09:30The feelings weren't stupid.
09:32They were real.
09:33Okay, so what we're talking about, you had an affair?
09:37But it's over.
09:39I hate it.
09:40I hate that I feel like this.
09:41I haven't been myself for months.
09:43It's all I think about, and it's killing me.
09:46Was this when you were with Ehia or Ville?
09:49Both.
09:50Shit.
09:52Okay.
09:53See, I told you you would hate me.
09:55Phil, does it look like I'm going anywhere?
09:58I am right here.
10:00You promise you won't judge me?
10:02Cross my heart.
10:05We'll both.
10:13So Drew has no idea or Ville?
10:15No one.
10:17And it all just might explode at some point,
10:19so I'm going to need someone in my corner.
10:21You've got my back, right?
10:22I mean, you slept with your boss's wife.
10:24I fell in love with the wrong person.
10:26You know all about that.
10:27How did it happen?
10:28Where did you even hook up?
10:29Oh, I can't.
10:31Oh my God, Phil, you guys went away together.
10:33The bed, the earthquake.
10:34That must have been so intense, being with Harper and Ehia.
10:37I can't do this.
10:38I thought you were going to be able to help me,
10:40but you just want the goss.
10:41No, I don't, okay?
10:42I am sorry.
10:43I want to help.
10:44What do you need?
10:45How do I stop my head from exploding?
10:48You need to face facts.
10:49Is the affair over?
10:50Yes.
10:51Is it really over?
10:52Like, never going to happen again?
10:53No.
10:54And does Harper know this?
10:55Yes.
10:56And can you move on carrying the secret?
11:00You need to get away.
11:02Away?
11:03Yeah.
11:04Go on a solo retreat.
11:05Clear that messy head of yours.
11:08Yeah.
11:10Yeah, I can do that.
11:14I'm so sorry.
11:15I feel like this is my fault.
11:17I was distracted too.
11:19You know, you are being so brave, son.
11:22You tell me.
11:24Can you feel that?
11:25No.
11:28Can you feel this?
11:30Yes.
11:32Yeah?
11:33Yeah?
11:34What does it feel like?
11:36Funny.
11:38Bunny sore?
11:40More sore.
11:42Tickly, tingly?
11:45Tingly.
11:47X-rays have come through.
11:49Finally.
11:50Let's get this on board.
11:51Thanks.
11:52I told the nurse that Superman was here.
11:54Pretty exciting.
11:57I'll be back in just a sec.
12:02Hey, what have you got?
12:04It's not pretty.
12:05There.
12:07That's a Salter Harris 3.
12:10Right through the growth plate.
12:12Impressive.
12:13We're going to have to operate.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Already flashed up the bat signal.
12:18Drew's on call.
12:19Great.
12:21You were at home, right?
12:22With Kiwa?
12:23When this happened?
12:24Yeah.
12:25Bad break.
12:26Heavy fall.
12:28I was distracted at the time.
12:30Ah.
12:31Happens.
12:32Can we just focus on getting Drew here, please?
12:35Sure thing.
12:39Is it bad?
12:40Salter Harris 3.
12:42Oh, no.
12:43So the numbness and the tingling means it's already compromised.
12:46The longer we leave it, the more the potential damage...
12:48This could prevent Kiwa's arm from growing properly.
12:51It's okay.
12:52We'll get him to theatre.
12:53I can do it myself.
12:54No, you can't.
12:55You know that.
12:56Who's on call?
12:57Drew.
12:58Where is he?
12:59Emmett will be on to it.
13:00Oh, yeah, he'll be on to it.
13:02What?
13:03Nothing.
13:10Hey.
13:11Bedtime means bedtime.
13:12No TV after lights out.
13:14You know that.
13:15It wasn't me.
13:16Look, I caught you red-handed.
13:18He said he was bored.
13:20Who?
13:21He said not to tell you that you wouldn't believe me.
13:24Can you tell us who you mean with?
13:25Is it a new friend at school?
13:28Remus.
13:31Adults can't see him.
13:33Only kids can.
13:34He doesn't know why.
13:36We all miss Remus, mate.
13:38I talk to him all the time.
13:40Why don't you tell us?
13:42Because you're always at work or busy or fighting.
13:47He just wants to have fun.
13:49That's why we tore up the pictures at school.
13:53Oh, yes, his teacher called.
13:54I forgot to tell you.
13:56Listen, go back to bed, mate.
13:58No more TV or talking to Remus.
14:01Tell him it's your bedtime, okay?
14:03I'll be up to see you in a minute, okay?
14:12He's just processing.
14:13I'm sure it's normal.
14:15You think talking to a dead kid is normal?
14:17I think he's got a lot of trauma going on
14:19and we shouldn't judge him for it.
14:21Why would he do this?
14:23Why would he say this?
14:24Just calm down.
14:25What did his teacher say?
14:27He's being difficult and not sharing,
14:30being a bit destructive.
14:32Okay, well, that's not Miles.
14:34We'll have to take him back to that psychologist.
14:36Yeah, maybe.
14:37That's all you can say?
14:40Okay, sorry, it's been a lot with everything.
14:43What are you talking about us?
14:44I didn't say that.
14:50Brilliant, that's work.
14:51I've got to go.
14:52Okay, well, we need to deal with this in the morning.
14:54Yeah, well, perhaps remember to pass on messages
14:56from the school next time.
15:00Have a good surgery.
15:02Hey, Vili, it's G here.
15:04We are crazy busy here.
15:06If you have a few moments to spare,
15:08I would owe you forever.
15:10Anyway, if you're willing and able, let me know.
15:12Thanks.
15:13I'm just trying to rustle up some help.
15:14But Chris said that we shouldn't.
15:16It's okay.
15:17I'll explain the situation to Vili.
15:20But he's Selina's brother.
15:21And, like, what if Monique finds out too?
15:23Sage, just take a breath.
15:24Selina doesn't know a thing, neither does Morning.
15:26We're going to keep it that way.
15:27Don't worry.
15:30On track?
15:31Barely.
15:32Who's next?
15:33Mr Latu.
15:34Have you triaged him?
15:35Sure have.
15:36Abdominal pain, he's had it for a while.
15:37It's been pretty bad the past couple of days.
15:38He's had some nausea and difficulty passing bowel motions.
15:40Okay, thanks.
15:42Hi, Mr Latu.
15:43I'm Chris.
15:44I'll get you checked out.
15:45Why don't you just come with me, hey?
15:48Come on.
15:49Gia, let's get you into a wheelchair.
15:51Here we are.
15:54Okay, yeah, he has a hernia.
15:56It looks strangulated.
15:57Need an ultrasound to confirm?
15:59I can't reduce it.
16:00He needs surgery.
16:01I'll set this up there to free him.
16:03Let's get him to ED first.
16:04There's no time.
16:05He has no blood supply to his incarcerated bowel.
16:07We need to operate.
16:08We don't do surgery.
16:09We can figure out logistics later.
16:10Gia!
16:11Esther will understand.
16:13Sage assists Chris.
16:14I will find an anaesthetist.
16:16Okay, Mr Latu.
16:17Let's get you sorted out.
16:23Look who you are.
16:25You okay?
16:26Just a headache.
16:28You've never sold a Harris III before?
16:30Nah, you?
16:31Trick is to get it perfect.
16:33Any malunion, Kira will be facing a lifetime of problems.
16:37No pressure, then.
16:38I'll do it.
16:39I just need to take my time.
16:40Drew!
16:41No time.
16:42Sorry, Mum.
16:43It's fine.
16:44I just wanted to check in, see how you are.
16:45I'm fine.
16:46Great.
16:47How are you, Nick?
16:49Is this some sort of new initiative from Red Vitas?
16:53I mean, I didn't think warm fuzzies were high on their agenda.
16:56Nope, I'm just touching base.
16:59With me?
17:00With everyone.
17:01I still care about you guys.
17:04Noted.
17:06Drew?
17:08I heard.
17:09Loud and clear.
17:10Great.
17:13That was weird.
17:14There you are.
17:15Sorry, I came as fast as I could.
17:17You've got to get this right.
17:18Nick and I were just discussing that.
17:19Because if you don't, my son will face more ops down the track.
17:22Where are we at?
17:23Okay, well, let's go.
17:34Chris, how's the hernia?
17:37It's now an acute bowel obstruction,
17:40which means I'll have to fully open him up,
17:42remove a significant portion of the bowel.
17:45Right, so you're going to need more time.
17:47It's just, we're piling up out there.
17:50This is a high-risk surgery on a high-needs patient.
17:53But you can do it, though, right?
17:55This is meant to be done by two surgeons.
17:57It's not a solo rush job.
17:59I know, but we're here and we have no other option.
18:02I'm not happy.
18:05I'll call Phil, see if she can come in.
18:08The sooner the better.
18:12Come on, pick up.
18:14Hey, Phil, it's me.
18:15We need you in surgery.
18:16Get in here.
18:17Trying to get a hold of Phil?
18:18Yeah, do you know where she is?
18:20She's drunk as a skunk.
18:21Trying to sleep it off.
18:22You're kidding.
18:23I'll try Nars.
18:24Nars is still in the air.
18:25Won't be landing for another half an hour.
18:26Damn it.
18:27What's up?
18:28Oh, nothing.
18:29It's okay, I got it.
18:30You know I'm not the bad guy, right?
18:31If there's a problem, I want to help.
18:33Gia, I got your message.
18:35You need me?
18:36NED?
18:37That's right, follow me.
18:38I was just in ED.
18:39It is completely under control in there.
18:41You were in the hospital at night, now?
18:43We need to be firing all cylinders 24-7.
18:45So, guys, what's the problem?
18:47No problem.
18:49Really?
18:50Because you've called Vili in,
18:51which means he's going to be getting paid for overtime,
18:53which is an extra expense we don't need.
18:56So?
18:57Why don't I go get changed and circle back to you?
18:59Great, thanks, Vili.
19:03You know something funny?
19:04I get the strangest feeling
19:06when I feel like someone's lying to me.
19:08All the hairs on my arms,
19:09they just stand on end.
19:10Huh?
19:12What do you know?
19:15Beats me, that trick.
19:17Isn't it?
19:21Fifteen blade scalpel.
19:26Okay.
19:28Exposing the fracture site.
19:31Now down to the FCR sheet.
19:35We've got to watch out for branches
19:37of the palmar cutaneous nut.
19:41You're good?
19:43Just taking it slow, like I said.
19:47He's so small.
19:49Okay, I am going to need to extend that proximally and distally,
19:53so I will need the, uh...
19:57Scissors?
19:58Yeah, thank you.
20:00Then I'm going to need the retractor
20:02to expose the floor of the tendon sheath.
20:07Okay.
20:18I have a surgeon en route.
20:20They're still half an hour away,
20:21and theirs is at the airport, which is even further.
20:24You're dealing with a necrotic valve.
20:26I can't do this without support.
20:27It's a two-surgeon job.
20:29Esther is still in paeds.
20:31I don't know if we should ask her.
20:33And I have just seen Monic.
20:35BP is 85 over 40.
20:37Okay, I don't care about Monic.
20:39Get Esther, now.
20:44Hey, I just heard about QI. How's it going?
20:46Drew's doing a good job.
20:47Sorry, I didn't tell you.
20:49It's okay.
20:50Esther, I'm sorry, but we need your help.
20:53What's wrong?
20:54Acute valve obstruction
20:56and a large portion of necrotic valve.
20:58Chris is operating, but we need you.
21:01Why is Chris operating?
21:02The patient collapsed.
21:04We had no choice.
21:07No, I don't want to leave QI, so grab Phil.
21:10She's not available.
21:11No one's on site.
21:13Please.
21:16Let me know if anything changes.
21:18I will.
21:22We tracked her?
21:24We have to ask, are you okay?
21:27It's just a stupid headache.
21:29Right, before we release the transverse distal limb
21:32of the pronator quadratus...
21:35Yeah?
21:36Could you get my brow again, please?
21:40The radial part is released first,
21:43and then we'll need a sharp elevator.
21:46Drew, you're shaking.
21:47What's going on in there, Drew?
21:49I can't see properly.
21:50What do you mean?
21:51My head, I think it's a migraine.
21:54What's happening?
21:55It's blurry.
21:57Okay, you have to stand down.
21:59Drew!
22:00My vision, I can't.
22:09Hey, where are we at?
22:11Attempted to remove most of the necrosis.
22:13I was going to try an end-to-end anastomosis, but...
22:17He needs an ileostomy.
22:21Okay, there's not enough of the bowel left,
22:24and he's developing peritonitis.
22:28You do know our free clinic doesn't do surgery, right?
22:30I made that clear?
22:31Crystal, this was out of our control.
22:35Esther?
22:37What's happened? Is Kiba okay?
22:39Drew can't continue the surgery.
22:41You need to take over.
22:42He has a migraine.
22:43There's a surgeon from Central coming and NARS,
22:45but they'll both take too long.
22:46Okay, I'm coming.
22:48You can't leave.
22:49It's my son on the operating table, correct?
22:51He's septic.
22:52If you leave, he could die.
22:54Esther?
22:55BP's 70 over 45.
22:56Then get someone else in here.
22:57She needs to help our boy.
22:59There's no one else.
23:00Esther, come on.
