00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02Does this tear?
00:03There must be a safe way out of all of this for you.
00:06You know how stuck I am.
00:07He's dangerous, don't you get that? He's a criminal.
00:09It isn't that simple.
00:11He's gone.
00:12If you have anything that could help, you know where to find me.
00:14Please tell me you're not involved.
00:15I'm telling the truth, Esther, I swear.
00:17Amy Meyer's self-harmed with a razor blade.
00:19James is committed to helping Amy through her depression.
00:22She'll end up alone. Mark my words.
00:23I know we've got our problems, but I'm here if you want to share.
00:26I'm a new person. I don't want the past to define me.
00:29Everyone leaves, Drew. Everyone.
00:32You're going to be okay.
00:33What's going on?
00:34What the hell is going on?
00:35Dex, Drew.
00:42So?
00:43I'm not in the mood, okay, Harper?
00:45Well, too bad.
00:46No, not too bad. You can't just barge in on my conversation.
00:48What were you talking about?
00:51How does it feel to not know what's going on?
00:54Feel like you're in the dark? Hmm?
00:58See you at home.
00:59Well, it's not your night with the kids.
01:00Try and stop me.
01:04His injuries are very serious, so he won't get far.
01:08Well, is that about time?
01:09Yes.
01:11But we've already spoken to the detective in charge.
01:14Well, they want more details, and so do I.
01:17So do you have anything you want to add?
01:19No.
01:21What did Ty say to you?
01:22When?
01:24Before he did a runner.
01:25I don't know. Not a lot. Nothing that would help now.
01:28That you were with him?
01:29When?
01:30When he escaped.
01:31No, obviously not.
01:32Obviously nothing.
01:34Esther, I told you. I'm terrified for him.
01:37Why would I let him go out there when he needs medical help?
01:40Be straight with me. Do you know where he is?
01:43No.
01:45Okay, you know what I think?
01:47You're embarrassed that a patient escaped from your hospital,
01:50and you need someone to blame.
01:52Nice pivot. I hope you know what you're doing.
01:56Hungry?
01:57No.
01:59Okay.
02:01Do you want everyone here?
02:03Yeah, they can stay.
02:05Well, it's good news.
02:06Really?
02:07Your surgery was a success.
02:09You were able to achieve excellent margins,
02:11and Dr Johnson is confident that we've got it all.
02:14I knew you'd pull through, sis.
02:16So, are you thinking a three-night stay?
02:19We can play it by ear.
02:20Okay, we can evaluate at day two.
02:22Sure.
02:23You just focus on getting better.
02:25Madonna, I need you changing my dressings.
02:27Of course.
02:28Boy, you're cancer-free. Take a minute.
02:33Billy and Chris.
02:35Of course.
02:36Love you.
02:37Be back later?
02:38Yeah.
02:39Anything you need, I'm here.
02:40Okay, bye.
02:44So, are you thinking cephaloplasty?
02:47So, are you thinking cephalexin or amoxicillin?
02:51Cephalexin.
02:53Selena, I just thought maybe you'd be more comfortable
02:55just talking with just us.
02:57Sure, but give me tramadol over oxycodone.
03:00Tramadol it is.
03:02With a partial mastectomy, a lot can come up.
03:05How are you feeling?
03:06I told you before, I'm looking ahead.
03:10That's good, but it's important to be gentle with yourself.
03:13You know that recovery from this kind of thing can take a bit of time,
03:16so just be patient.
03:17Yeah, well, I'm not giving this cancer any more of my time.
03:19Sure, but you're just...
03:20Hey, it's taken enough.
03:22Okay, and there are plenty of patients out there that do need help.
03:25Selena.
03:26Look, I'm feeling tired.
03:28Okay, well, we'll let you rest.
03:38Billy wants you.
03:40Yeah, I heard them calling out.
03:42So did Skye. She wants you as well.
03:44Right, well, I'll just pack these lunches.
03:46I can do that.
03:50Hey, um, can I ask you something?
03:53Sure.
03:55Has Phil been over here to the house?
03:58That's more of a question for you, wouldn't you say?
04:00No, I mean with you.
04:01Has she been here with you, getting hugs from you?
04:03No.
04:06Has she spent time with the kids somewhere else?
04:08Wow, you really don't trust her, do you?
04:10Can you just give me a clue as to what you were talking about?
04:13I can't do that.
04:16I shouldn't have come tonight.
04:18Well, I tried to tell you.
04:20It's not good for the kids. They need their routine.
04:22The kids can't suffer just because we're shaky.
04:24Says the iceberg to the Titanic.
04:26True.
04:27I'm serious.
04:28Well, so am I.
04:29I don't want them to be in a broken home.
04:31Neither do I.
04:32Okay, can we at least agree to a united front as parents then?
04:36That is what I've wanted from the start.
04:39But stick to the routine.
04:43Okay.
04:52Are you sure you're okay to work this many hours?
04:54Does it matter? You'd just go straight to Leicester.
04:56Well, that is not true.
04:58You don't trust me to drive. You don't trust me to do my job.
05:02You were tussling and turning all night.
05:04No, that was you.
05:05Maybe.
05:06Why couldn't you sleep?
05:08I don't know.
05:10I'm allowed to grill you if you're allowed to grill me.
05:13I'm fine.
05:14So am I.
05:16What's he doing here again?
05:18Who?
05:19Detective Tabuki. Working a case, I suppose.
05:23Louise is.
05:24Well, we've said all we have to say.
05:26Yeah, but he could be checking statements.
05:28Or asking our colleagues about us.
05:30And Cassie.
05:31Do you want me to ask?
05:33No. It's just...
05:35We're in our own business.
05:37I'll ask the nurse for some rest knobs.
05:41Drew.
05:42Hi.
05:43Hey.
05:44You wanted to see me?
05:45Yeah, I've got a late surgery booked.
05:48It's all good.
05:49And I know it's not your night with the kids.
05:51It's fine. I'll pick them up from school and we can do a movie night or something.
05:55Sounds good.
05:56Hi.
05:57I'm going to check on our MVA patient. Catch me up.
06:02Phil.
06:04I just want to make one thing really clear.
06:07Okay.
06:08Stay the hell away from Drew.
06:10And my family.
06:16What are you two doing out here?
06:18We can't go in.
06:19Why?
06:20She's being mean.
06:21Are we in preschool?
06:22No.
06:23So grow up.
06:24No, you're being mean.
06:25You're both wimps.
06:26Wimp. Again.
06:28Hey, how's it going?
06:30Yeah.
06:31How's it going?
06:32Yeah.
06:33It's all good.
06:34Good.
06:35Lots of people checking up on you then.
06:37Mm-hmm.
06:38Okay, well, I need to empty your drain.
06:40No, don't.
06:41Selina, it's necessary.
06:43It's done.
06:44Oh.
06:45Who?
06:46Chris or Billy?
06:47Oh, no.
06:48I did it.
06:49You emptied your drain yourself?
06:51Yeah.
06:52I just need to call someone.
06:55Selina, stop messaging for a moment.
06:57You can't nurse yourself.
06:59I just did.
07:00You have to rest if you want to recover.
07:02Look, I know my limits.
07:05Hey, Janice.
07:06Yeah, can you scan it and send it to me, please?
07:08Selina, you're working.
07:09That's enough.
07:10Okay, great.
07:12Bye.
07:13You are my patient, and I'm ordering you to rest.
07:16I am not your patient.
07:18I'm the D.O.N.
07:19Not today or not?
07:20Yeah, well, I know what I am and what I'm not capable of.
07:23I'm not on my feet.
07:24I'm working from my bed.
07:25That's not the point.
07:26Yeah, which is something I'm capable of.
07:29The drain's emptied, so go and tend to another patient.
07:32Selina.
07:33Now.
07:40Okay, Ben, maybe next time just try and shoot the goal.
07:43Don't hang on to the goal.
07:44Don't move by your wrist.
07:45Hoop.
07:48Basketball hoop.
07:49Yeah.
07:50Anyway, I hope you impressed your coach.
07:52Nah.
07:53Or maybe a special someone in the crowd.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Are you texting them now?
07:57Yeah.
07:58Well, worth the pain then.
07:59I'll organize an X-ray.
08:02Looks like someone else is glued to their phone.
08:04Someone else needs to mind their own business.
08:06Oh, you're going to make me guess how fun.
08:08Well, if it were me, it would be because a guy ghosted me,
08:10or that one time that Pedro Pascal liked my story,
08:13but it was actually just a fake account.
08:14I don't get sucked in like that.
08:16So ghosting is?
08:17Kind of.
08:19Wait, who are we talking about?
08:21Ty.
08:22Keep your voice down.
08:24Gia.
08:25He was injured.
08:26If anything happens to him, everything I want.
08:28So what?
08:29You're doing this for the hospital.
08:30That man is a fugitive and broke out of Shortland Street.
08:32That is a train wreck waiting to happen.
08:34You are being judgmental and boring.
08:36Sorry I asked.
08:38Get that wrist radiology ASAP.
08:50Okay, I have made the incision.
08:54Blood pressure is still low.
08:55Get the rib spreader.
08:56Yeah, I know.
08:59Can you see the pericardium?
09:01Yes.
09:02What does it look like?
09:03I need to relieve the pressure.
09:05What does it look like?
09:07Tense, full of blood.
09:08Okay.
09:10Okay, so can I do what I said now?
09:13Go ahead.
09:14Pericardium scissors.
09:17Suction.
09:21Pressure stabilising.
09:23How long getting the MVA patient in first?
09:28Wow, thanks, Drew.
09:29No worries.
09:30We need to keep moving.
09:31I've done this a thousand times before.
09:33The patient and us can take a breath.
09:35If you don't pause when you can, that's when you make mistakes.
09:38Fine.
09:40Well, I guess I was wrong.
09:42About the patient?
09:43About us being able to work together.
09:45Clearly not.
09:46Drew, I didn't mean to...
09:47Forget it.
09:48Moment's past.
09:50Continue.
09:54Wait, so what was he doing here?
09:58Snooping around outside.
10:01He was walking around outside.
10:03Well, looked sus to me.
10:06Well, did you talk to him at all?
10:08I think he's on a different case.
10:09Yeah, he keeps saying that.
10:11What other case?
10:12Confidential.
10:14Was it that one patient who escaped?
10:15We can tell you.
10:17He was into some real dodgy stuff, drug stuff.
10:19Oh, so you know about that.
10:20The HTAs like to talk a lot.
10:22What else are they talking about?
10:25Louisa?
10:27Not really.
10:28Okay, well, um...
10:30Bored. Moving on.
10:32I think so.
10:33Can you stop?
10:34I'm not bored.
10:36I haven't moved on.
10:37I didn't say that.
10:39Do you need counselling or something?
10:41Maeve, just say what you want to say.
10:44I don't have anything to say.
10:47It's like you've got traumatic shock or whatever they call it.
10:50And we were the ones who had to deal with the maniac.
10:52Yeah, but sometimes it's harder for the people who aren't there.
10:55Yeah, but I should have been there.
10:56We've been through this.
10:58I didn't protect my family.
11:00She keeps saying that like she's on a move.
11:02She'll be awkward.
11:07We just have to keep on going.
11:11We'd like to do some more tests in a few weeks.
11:14Okay.
11:15But what's the verdict so far?
11:17Well, it seems like your body has accepted the donor heart really well.
11:20Cool.
11:21Yeah, it's very cool.
11:22You've outlived all other xenotransplantation recipients.
11:25I'm going to live for years and feel it.
11:27It's good that you're feeling well, but the reality is...
11:30He's feeling great.
11:31That's all that matters.
11:33He's got goals.
11:34He's got a life now.
11:36Goals?
11:37Working on a game.
11:39Gamer game.
11:40Oh, like Elden Ring?
11:41I wish.
11:43Danny and his mates think gaming's a sport.
11:45Those guys make big bank.
11:47Does this game you're developing have a name?
11:49The Shadow Realm.
11:50Exciting.
11:52Anyway, back to medical things.
11:54Yes.
11:55Is Danny eligible for a human heart now?
11:58Not at this stage, no.
12:00But this is still a huge win for Danny.
12:03Yeah.
12:04Guess you're stuck with me a little bit longer, Dad.
12:10There it is.
12:11Laceration to the pleural wall.
12:12Yeah, I can see it.
12:14Don't just look at it.
12:15Suture it up.
12:16They're still bleeding.
12:17I know.
12:21Careful.
12:22I know.
12:23You've nicked the lung tissue.
12:24Don't yell at me.
12:25I need to think.
12:26Give me the suture.
12:27No, wait.
12:28I can feel it.
12:29Now.
12:30I know what I'm doing.
12:31I just need to think.
12:32Move.
12:33Jesus Christ.
12:34I'm so sorry.
12:35Suction.
12:36Suction.
12:39Get me a fresh suture.
12:41Look at that cut.
12:43It's one centimetre max.
12:44It's two centimetres.
12:46You need to take small bites of the tissue, okay?
12:49Not ham-fisted ones.
12:51I had it, Drew.
12:52No, you didn't.
12:53I just needed space to focus.
12:54You just need to do it right the first time.
12:58Patient's stable.
13:00I'm sorry.
13:01Next time, get your shit together before you kill the patient.
13:04Or the surgeon.
13:10Drew, wait.
13:13I'm sorry about my behaviour there.
13:15Okay.
13:16I just got in my head and I shouldn't have let it get to me.
13:20What got in your head?
13:22Someone put you off.
13:23Who was it?
13:24Me?
13:25No.
13:26Then who?
13:27What does it matter now?
13:29It was my fault and it won't happen again.
13:31I need a surgeon I can count on.
13:33Whatever's going on out here, I need to know I can trust you in there.
13:37You can, 100%.
13:39I'll leave it all at the door from now on.
13:42See you tomorrow, Grayson.
13:56How's it going?
13:58Yeah, all good.
13:59I can administer more pain relief if you'd like.
14:02It's been long enough.
14:04No, I'm fine.
14:05Okay, I need to check your blood pressure.
14:08Two of the nurses can't work tomorrow because they're sick.
14:11I'm trying to find cover but they're not replying.
14:14Billy sorted it.
14:16Oh, good.
14:18Blood pressure's good.
14:20I need to chat to Esther.
14:22The budget forecast's almost done.
14:25I just need to check a few details.
14:27Chris sorted it and sent it to Esther.
14:30I could have done that.
14:32Yeah, he and Billy wanted to clear your plate.
14:35They worked overtime.
14:37Okay, I need to check your wound.
14:39Hi, Nate.
14:40I did it.
14:42Selena.
14:54Looking good.
14:56Good?
14:58Yes.
15:00Considering that it's early days, you're healing well.
15:05Please rest.
15:07Your body is fighting.
15:09Don't make it any harder than it already is.
15:29Why'd you pause it?
15:31It was getting too scary for me.
15:34What's his name?
15:36Who?
15:38Your new boyfriend.
15:40Miles, there's no one else.
15:44Dad!
15:45Hey, team.
15:47Dad?
15:49Yes, Marley?
15:50Do you have a new girlfriend?
15:53No, no, I do not.
15:56True?
15:57Hand on heart, true.
16:00Then why are you guys getting a divorce?
16:03Listen, we don't want you to worry about any of that stuff, okay?
16:08Should we have a sandwich, Gretel?
16:12I think the situation definitely calls for one of those, yes?
16:16We're not getting under this one.
16:17You're stuck here, perhaps forever.
16:19Oh, I see a worry in there.
16:22Oh, let me check.
16:23Oh, yeah, no, there it is, I see it.
16:25I've got it, I've got it.
16:27No more worries, no more worries.
16:29Are you sure?
16:30Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure.
16:31All right, listen, it's getting late, pal.
16:33Go upstairs and get ready for bed, okay?
16:34I'll come read you a story.
16:35Can Mum read me one?
16:37Of course she can.
16:38And maybe if Mum falls asleep, you don't wake her up.
16:42Miles.
16:43No, that's a good idea.
16:45Maybe you should stay the night.
16:47Yes.
16:48In the spare room, yeah?
16:50Sure.
16:52It's nice and comfy.
16:53In the morning, I can help you make breakfast.
16:55Oh, thank you.
16:57Radio, upstairs, I'll be up in a minute.
16:59Okay.
17:06I was the one going on about routine.
17:08Look, we can start it tomorrow.
17:10Yeah, whatever those kids go through, I know it's my fault.
17:13No.
17:14No, Drew, I...
17:15I own it.
17:17All of it.
17:24Oh, this is Janine.
17:25She was sniffing a bouquet of flowers at a wedding rehearsal,
17:27developed shortness of breath.
17:28Oh, you weren't the florist for the wedding, were you?
17:31Bridesmaid.
17:32Oh, no.
17:33So we need to get you well before the big day.
17:35Uh, get her 10 milligrams of cetirizine.
17:40It's already given.
17:41Speak up.
17:42She's already had an antihistamine, it's in the notes.
17:45Oh, uh, then 30 milligrams of prednisone.
17:50Am I quite sure about that?
17:51Yeah, Sage, just do it.
17:56Gia, you ordered a left arm x-ray for my patient?
18:01Yeah.
18:02Why?
18:04Because she had a fall.
18:06On her right arm.
18:07Oh, God, I stuffed up.
18:09Not the first time today, is it?
18:11We're busy.
18:13Little mistakes like this waste everyone's time.
18:15A bigger mistake could waste someone's life.
18:18Okay, sorry.
18:20What's going on?
18:22You're in contact with drug boy?
18:24No, it's not like that.
18:26Okay.
18:28Okay, good.
18:30Well, you get yourself sorted or I'm sending you home.
18:33You are so still in contact with Ty.
18:35Why does no one believe me?
18:37Because we can read minds.
18:38Is he okay?
18:39Does he have an infection?
18:40Does he need medication?
18:41I am just worried about the hospital's reputation.
18:44But you're making E.D. look like we suck.
18:46Sage, you can't talk to me like that.
18:48I'm not talking to you as a nurse.
18:49I'm talking to you as a friend, okay?
18:50You need to get that man out of your head
18:51before you find yourself in real trouble.
18:54Wow.
18:56Our annual grocery shop.
18:58Done.
18:59What, is it too much?
19:00Yes.
19:01Well, I don't care.
19:02I just want to get organized, you know?
19:04Cupboard's full.
19:06Meal prep for the week.
19:08Eh?
19:10What?
19:11I've lost control of my life.
19:12I'm taking it back.
19:14What, with truckloads of mint?
19:17It's for the tabouli, okay?
19:19So you can pack away, and I'll get started.
19:22Yes, chef.
19:23Anything you say, chef.
19:27You all right?
19:29Yeah, I'm fine.
19:32It's just sometimes it feels like I'm killing myself.
19:35What do you mean?
19:37Well, I mean, I can try and act like I've got myself together,
19:40but I was jeered by a psycho on the internet.
19:43And I made a bunch of fake friends who I loved.
19:48What does that say about me?
19:52Honey, you need to be kind to yourself.
19:55I will tell you what that says.
19:58It says Nicole can't tell reality,
20:00even if it hit her in the face.
20:02Hey, I'm real, and I'm right here.
20:06I'm sorry.
20:07I'm sorry that I got sucked in.
20:09Don't say that anymore.
20:11It's my day to be messed up, not yours.
20:15That was close.
20:17Yeah, it was.
20:19Okay, tabouli.
20:22Coming right up.
20:26Hey, I just checked on Danny, our walking miracle.
20:30Yeah, he's doing well.
20:32Hey, I'm sorry I can't babysit tonight.
20:34That's okay.
20:35Selena's a handful at the moment,
20:37so I'm going to stay and try to cheer her up.
20:40No worries.
20:41I'll sort someone out for the kids.
20:42Good.
20:43Well, you two enjoy your night.
20:44You deserve it.
20:46What is she on about?
20:48I wanted to take you out as a surprise.
20:51Well, I just want to go home.
20:53No, we should celebrate.
20:55What are we celebrating?
20:56Danny.
20:58He's still going to die, babe.
21:00Yeah, but you bought him time.
21:02I've given myself a name in a medical journal.
21:04I would give up years of my life for one more day with poor Dicky.
21:07What you've given Danny and his father is a gift.
21:09Do you want me to shut you up?
21:10Try this.
21:15Okay.
21:16It's fine.
21:17Just a little bit.
21:18No shock talk.
21:19No transplant talk.
21:20Just you and me.
21:21Deal.
21:32I'm nearly ready.
21:33Marley's just doing a show for Skye and the toys.
21:36Did you say something to Phil?
21:38When?
21:39Yesterday before our surgery.
21:41Trust her, Danny.
21:43No, she didn't say a word to me, but I could tell.
21:47So what did you say?
21:49I just told her to keep her nose out of our business.
21:51You threatened her.
21:52No, Drew, I didn't threaten her.
21:53I just made it very clear where the boundaries are.
21:55Oh, right, because you're such a good one when it comes to boundaries, aren't you, Hubba?
21:59I have to work with her.
22:00I know that.
22:01On patients with needles and things.
22:02Yeah, I know.
22:03So pull yourself together.
22:04Don't go saying stuff that's going to rock her right before a surgery.
22:07Don't get messy in theatre.
22:08That is on her, not me.
22:09What are you talking about?
22:10You're a senior.
22:11Take some responsibility for your actions, why don't you?
22:14Mum, Dad, the battery came out of Big Bear, and I tried to fix it, but I can't find it.
22:21What?
22:22I think she swallowed it.
22:24What did the battery look like?
22:25It was those circle ones.
22:27Okay, could it just be lost?
22:28No, I saw her have it in her mouth.
22:31She seems okay.
22:32Until a hole burns through her stomach.
22:34I'll call an ambulance.
22:35Right, let's just take her in.
22:37Hey, it's going to be okay, sweetie.
22:39Yeah, you're okay.
22:40You're okay.
