00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02A number of Shortland Street staff have been running an unsanctioned clinic.
00:05Which is why these heroes will be lauded.
00:10We're proud. I've scheduled some interviews for Esther to talk about it.
00:13And of course you'll make sure to emphasise that the initiative came from me.
00:16All your mates keeping their jobs. You must be happy.
00:19Really happy.
00:20Get the bill.
00:21Oh no I will.
00:22How are you going to pay for it? You don't have a job.
00:24The famous under header. What went wrong with the two of you?
00:26I was young. Stupid.
00:27Let's just keep moving forward. There's no point in us getting bogged down in the past.
00:31You have got to be kidding me.
00:33Darling.
00:34Mum. No not him. Not after everything he's done to us.
00:36Haven't you put her through enough?
00:42Ooh. Pineapple shot.
00:44Sadly yep.
00:46I thought you'd be drinking something a bit more, I don't know, delicious.
00:49Well if I was with you I'd be having a Negroni obviously.
00:52Well I'm here now so why don't we have some?
00:54Um can we get two Negronis please?
00:56What are you doing here?
00:57I'm waiting for Monique. She needs these drinks more than we do.
01:00What happened? Oh right yeah.
01:02She got fired from her big turnaround there.
01:04Of course she did.
01:05What are you doing? Drinking the pain away?
01:08Oh my god you are. Are you okay? What's going on?
01:11You know how you had your big crisis about the job and how to still do it and be okay?
01:17How to keep going despite watching so many people suffer?
01:19Yeah.
01:20Something like that.
01:22I'm so sorry.
01:23What for?
01:27I've got the drinks.
01:28I absolutely don't.
01:30How about you? You have my seat and I'll leave you to it.
01:34Are you sure you don't want to stay?
01:35No this is a job for the bestie.
01:37Thank you chap. Thank you.
01:39Okay you need to focus alright on me and my career, what is left of it.
01:42So it's all over? No more Gillian, no more executive role?
01:45It's over.
01:48Did you change your mind?
01:50I forgot something.
01:53Don't mind me.
02:19Hi.
02:23Hi.
02:26Here you go.
02:27Wow.
02:28Glen?
02:30I'm keen.
02:33Loved hearing you sing.
02:34I said you can sing better than Dean.
02:36I'm kidding, please.
02:38We should go in.
02:46So we got sprung by the kid.
02:50It wasn't our finest moment.
02:52Have you talked to her about it?
02:54Yeah I have.
02:56Oh shit, that bad?
02:58It's just a lot for her.
03:00I mean it's the last thing she expected to see.
03:02We should have been more discreet.
03:04Yeah.
03:08You don't remember the last time you bought me flowers?
03:11Nah.
03:13The day of our divorce.
03:15With a card.
03:16That's it.
03:17Best day of my life.
03:21I blanked that out.
03:22Yeah, actually so did I.
03:25How about you let me make it up to you?
03:27I'll take you out for a drink.
03:31Nah, I can't cut a meal.
03:33She's doing great.
03:34And Bonnie's here, right?
03:35Yeah, she'll be back soon.
03:37Yeah, well when she is, let me take you home.
03:40What, drop me off?
03:41No, no, my place.
03:42For dinner.
03:44Eh?
03:45You gonna cook for me?
03:47Nah, pick something up on the way.
03:50Yeah.
03:52Let me cook for you, Angel.
04:08Pick a hand.
04:10Why?
04:11Just pick a hand.
04:12I don't have time, sorry.
04:14Okay, it's a coffee.
04:16Oh, thank you.
04:18You left early this morning, is everything alright?
04:20Yeah, fine, I just needed a head start.
04:23Are you feeling okay?
04:25I need to get on with this.
04:27Sorry.
04:28What's going on, Drew?
04:29I thought we were good, now it feels like we're all twisted up again.
04:32Well, I don't have an answer for you right now.
04:35I don't know.
04:36Great, well you're not yourself and I'm worried about you.
04:40I'm tired.
04:41I hate seeing you like this.
04:43Well, I'm not doing it on purpose.
04:45I know.
04:48Can we have lunch? Spend some time?
04:51Yeah, sure.
04:52Okay.
04:53Lola?
04:54Yep.
04:55See you there.
04:56Hey.
04:57Hey.
04:59Was that a loving coffee delivery?
05:02Yes, it was.
05:03Nice.
05:04Wish my wife would do that for me.
05:06Kills if you want it.
05:07Nah, I'm good staying bitter, thank you.
05:10Hey.
05:12You guys okay?
05:15Is it that obvious?
05:16To me, yeah.
05:18Not great, no.
05:19Not at the moment, anyway.
05:21Bit of a slump.
05:23Highs and lows, eh?
05:25Well, ranting helped.
05:27I liked talking to you about how honestly shit I'm feeling.
05:32Well, I liked hearing it.
05:33Are you any better today?
05:35Not really.
05:37No, it's weird.
05:39Maybe it's a way, but it's hardly any different to when she's around,
05:42because we're so distant.
05:44I know what you mean.
05:46It's just patches, though, right?
05:49Things to work on.
05:51You really think that?
05:52Or are you just hoping it's true?
05:56Hope, I suppose.
05:59This helps.
06:06Guess what?
06:07Last night was the best night of your life.
06:09Crazy, me too.
06:11Close, close.
06:18What?
06:19We were robbed.
06:20You've got your prize right here, remember?
06:22Aye.
06:23How's Monique?
06:25Not sure.
06:26She actually hasn't texted me back, but I'm sure she's handling it.
06:28She hasn't fallen apart or anything.
06:29Well, it's still early days yet.
06:32What are you doing tonight?
06:34Let me check.
06:35I've got chip in here at 6.
06:37Oh, I've also got chip in here at 7, 8, and 9 as well.
06:42So I guess it's us all night, then?
06:44Lola?
06:45How about we spend my prize money?
06:47Absolutely.
06:48Where are you going with all your stuff?
06:50My locker.
06:51Need a clearing.
06:52It's just a bit messy.
06:53Well, you can always put some stuff in mine if you need to.
06:55No, no, no, that's okay.
06:56Okay, well, do your thing.
06:58I'm excited to see you later.
07:00Oh, Esther, you're looking at a winner.
07:03Thrill Challenge Cup, eh?
07:05Killed it.
07:06And he's insisting he spends all his prize money on me.
07:08Isn't that sweet?
07:10Hey, I was wondering if you'd heard about Mon.
07:12Is she okay?
07:14Is there any chance that she-
07:15I do need to meet with G about the priority clinic.
07:17We're going to need you to pick up a few more shifts, just while we work things out to begin with.
07:20Of course.
07:23That went well.
07:29Hi.
07:32Don't buy it.
07:33Nah, but the potential is there.
07:35Just sit.
07:39Karamu's not here, so I'm on my own.
07:41And, um, you took your time.
07:43Oh, well, I thought I'd save a life or two.
07:45And then I can muck things up with a fan.
07:47Yeah, well, you can do that any old time.
07:51Look, um...
07:55I'm sorry about suggesting Tara.
07:56It was a reach, I know.
07:59No, it's all right.
08:00You know, I actually quite like the way that you block out the past.
08:04I had to.
08:06Yeah, well, so did I.
08:08I don't want you to remember anything of those times.
08:11You can't stop it, Emmett.
08:13I can try.
08:15How?
08:16Jam-pack your life with new things to think about.
08:20New memories.
08:22Look, I know I'm not perfect.
08:26But I suppose I'm ready to try.
08:30Well, maybe they can invent a pill.
08:33You know, just a little dice of dementia.
08:39Switch on your senses, Angel.
08:41A delete button.
08:42Hey, doc, you know, I want to forget everything from 2013.
08:48I've missed this.
08:51What, me giving you a hard time?
08:53Yeah.
08:55You.
08:58Just you.
09:03So I don't get on your nerves?
09:05You mean, you know, me and my big mouth?
09:09Wasn't that always the problem?
09:12It's not a problem now.
09:20You can just say anything you want.
09:22Anytime you want.
09:25Emmett, let's get lost.
09:29Only if you say what you want to.
09:35Okay.
09:38Okay.
09:41If we planned it correctly, there shouldn't be any surprises.
09:44Just in case.
09:45We will be ready, open to anything and everything.
09:48Great.
09:51You know, I don't think I've ever looked forward to an opening surgery this much before.
09:55That's not true.
09:56I mean, where do you get your thrills if not from surgery?
10:00Hi, guys, what are we talking about?
10:05What are you doing?
10:06Oh, not much, just having a coffee with my hubby and my bestie.
10:09Might get a sandwich too.
10:10I'm leaving.
10:12Drew, hey, I'm here to see you.
10:13No, no, no, don't go.
10:16This isn't funny.
10:17Yeah, it's a little joke, isn't it?
10:18You and your silly wig.
10:20You're mocking me.
10:21No, I'm trying to be funny.
10:23I thought I was.
10:24At my expense.
10:25Okay, I'm sorry I got it wrong.
10:31Hey, what's going on?
10:33Um, nothing.
10:35I, um, I made a bad call.
10:54I mean, what even is ACE inhibited to reduce afterload?
10:57What is an afterload?
10:59Jared, I'll deal with this.
11:00Thanks, mate.
11:02Shut up.
11:03I'll wait for Dr. Asher.
11:10It just means your medication is making it easier for your heart to pump the blood around.
11:16Okay.
11:18Do you want anything else explained?
11:20No, thank you.
11:22I know you like to be the guy with all the answers.
11:24I don't want to give you that satisfaction.
11:25I don't.
11:26You do.
11:27Look, you know how to take care of your best.
11:29I'll leave everything I can to you.
11:31You're just speaking to me like that so I'll tell Mum you're being nice to me.
11:34Oh, give it a rest, will you?
11:37I, um, I actually had a talk with myself.
11:44Okay.
11:46I said it was time to grow up and be mature about this.
11:50And then you and Mum.
11:52We're not rushing anything.
11:54Look like it to me.
11:55Why is that a problem?
11:56How can you even ask me that?
11:57Can't you see how hard I am trying to not let this get to me?
12:01But it still does.
12:02Yeah.
12:04I can't do happy families.
12:08I don't know what it looks like.
12:09I never had one.
12:13I want to be the nice daughter I do.
12:16I want to be mature and on to it.
12:20But seeing Mum and Dad like that just makes me want to run away.
12:26And not come back.
12:34Okay.
12:50Oh!
12:51Almost forgot what you looked like.
12:53What?
12:54Before the wig.
12:55Oh, yeah, right, huh?
12:57You're still feeling it.
12:58I'm fine.
12:59I'd just, um, appreciate it if you'd stop going on about it.
13:01I was just asking.
13:02Bye.
13:03How are things with your knife?
13:04What?
13:05What, do you want me to ask you 20 questions about your relationship?
13:08Oh, I was just trying to help.
13:09Yeah, I know.
13:10If you want to help, you can just back off, please.
13:12Yeah, sure, fine.
13:19Image.
13:22Um, look, I need to be clear with you.
13:27You can't do it.
13:29You can't put Bonnie through it.
13:31She's not ready.
13:34Yeah, look, I wasn't suggesting we remarried, Angel.
13:38I just, I just wanted to try something, to start something new.
13:43Yeah, I know.
13:45I know, but, you know, she was so young back then.
13:48And you were different.
13:50I mean, I don't think you really understand how you treated her.
13:53I'm starting to.
13:56But I don't want to put her through that again.
14:02And the little one?
14:06Yeah.
14:09What do you think, you know?
14:10How would that make Bonnie feel?
14:12Right.
14:14So that's it, just like that.
14:16I just don't think that this has been an easy decision for me.
14:20I mean, if it was about what I wanted, you know, it was about me.
14:24But it's not.
14:26I mean, that's not what being family is.
14:30At the end of the day, I've got to do what's right by the girls.
14:35I'm sorry.
14:38You're always so good at that.
14:51Okay, death row meal.
14:53Mac and cheese.
14:55What? No way.
14:56Yes.
14:57What's better?
14:59Literally anything else.
15:00You can have that any old time.
15:02No, I can't.
15:03Because of the lactose.
15:04Right before I die is the perfect timing.
15:09What about you?
15:11I just drank.
15:13You can't answer your own question like that.
15:14A cocktail is a meal if you do it right.
15:16So you want to go out starving and wasted?
15:20Yeah, I think I could pull that off, make it glamorous.
15:23I think you could too.
15:26Why did we spend so long not doing this?
15:29It's my fault.
15:31It's me, I was scared.
15:33I'm pretty scary.
15:35Hurting you is?
15:37How could you possibly hurt me?
15:39Having a super conversation over dessert with you is like the most fun I've ever had.
15:48You weren't being hypothetical, were you?
15:50No, I wasn't.
15:52Just tell me it's not another boyfriend.
15:54It's not another boyfriend.
15:55Oh God, I can't handle anything else.
15:58Sage, I'm leaving.
16:03What do you mean leaving?
16:04Leaving to go where?
16:05Why?
16:06To Sydney.
16:08There's a job.
16:09It's my dream job.
16:11I've been wanting it forever.
16:13I don't get it.
16:14Why would you do all this with me if you just knew you were going to leave?
16:16I know, I know.
16:17I should have thought about it.
16:18I should have stopped myself.
16:23But I'll come with you.
16:25What?
16:26Why not?
16:27It's keeping me here.
16:28We could just go and have fun in Sydney.
16:29No.
16:33You don't want me to?
16:35No, I don't.
16:42I just gave the registrar a write-up.
16:44He'll have your discharge papers ready soon.
16:46Thanks.
16:48And any medical questions whatsoever, you're just firing them through.
16:51Other than that, I'll leave you alone.
16:54I won't call you or your mum.
16:56She's changed her mind, has she?
16:59It's just not the right time.
17:01For anyone.
17:02Oh, okay, cool.
17:03So I get to be the bad guy, is that it?
17:04No.
17:07I would, um,
17:10I would like the chance to try and fix things with you.
17:15Okay, well, what does that look like?
17:18Well, I don't know.
17:19Maybe come and visit you at your place, hang out, babysit the kid.
17:22Okay.
17:23Okay, well, no.
17:24All right.
17:25You're not ready.
17:27You know what?
17:28Yeah, we should just go back to our corners, regroup, get on with our lives.
17:32But your mum...
17:33Forget about it.
17:37She wants to know when you're going to go and visit her.
17:41Will you come with me?
17:50Hey, sweetheart.
17:51I'm going home soon.
17:53Oh, I know.
17:55Did you go and call our address?
17:57Oh, yep, yep.
17:58I've got all your contacts.
18:00So will you see us in the weekend?
18:03Um...
18:05Well, I'm sorry, no, I can't do that.
18:08Why not?
18:09Because...
18:11Well, I'm working every day and I don't finish until 10 at night.
18:14It's way past your bedtime.
18:16But you promised.
18:19I know.
18:22Well, I'm going to get better at keeping my promises.
18:24I've told your nanny that, but, um...
18:28This one.
18:30Just this one.
18:33Hey.
18:35I'm sorry.
18:36I'm just...
18:37I'm busy.
18:38Mum said you can't come, did she?
18:40No.
18:42No, but this is all on me.
18:45So I guess, um...
18:47Bebop is going to have to take over the storytelling, eh?
18:50Bebop can't read.
18:53No.
18:55Okay, well, I guess it'll have to be Mum and Nanny.
18:58Okay.
19:05I'm sorry.
19:07Cut out me eyes.
19:09I have to go. I'm busy, busy.
19:13Just remember...
19:16Coru loves you.
19:38Mum.
19:40It's, um, nice to see you.
19:44Good.
19:46Sit down.
19:48Sorry to, um, interrupt.
19:51How is everything going with the clinic?
19:54About as stressful as you'd expect.
19:57Everyone's getting paid now, which is great.
20:00The patients are flooding in, which isn't easy.
20:02We don't exactly have the manpower to count.
20:04What are you going to do?
20:06Deal with it, the same way we always do.
20:09Julian's gone now, left us to clean up after him.
20:12But I am guessing that's not the first time.
20:14Oh, I know it's not the first time.
20:17I'm sorry that you got fired.
20:19I'm not. That job made me hate myself.
20:22Well, making the tough decisions isn't always fun.
20:25That is actually why I've come to talk to you.
20:29Okay.
20:31I just... I want you to know how sorry I am about all of it.
20:35And I am filled with so much regret around my behaviour,
20:38and I should have known better.
20:40But in the future, I will... I will know better.
20:44Good. And thank you.
20:47I just really hope you can still trust me,
20:49because I did actually go out on a limb for the hospital,
20:51and I would do it again.
20:53I really would, because I love this place,
20:55and I love the people, and I just...
20:59I hope I can come back here properly.
21:03Ah.
21:05Is there a world in which you can see me getting my job back?
21:10You want your old job.
21:12I miss it.
21:14I miss you.
21:16We made a really good team.
21:20Things are different now, Mon,
21:23and I... I don't see it going back to maybe what it was.
21:30I am ready to work, whatever it takes.
21:35Well, I hope you mean that.
21:37I do.
21:38PHONE RINGS
21:40Kia ora. Shortland Street Hospital.
21:42How can I help you?
21:46Well, that was very routine.
21:49Well done in there.
21:51Thank you. Nice and easy.
21:53Are you going to head home now?
21:55Ah... I will eventually.
21:58You know I'm here for you.
22:00I guess there's a mate if you need an unbiased ear.
22:03I know you are. Thanks, Nick.
22:05Good.
22:07You know, I do wish I knew what to tell you.
22:11I feel...
