00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:03You what?
00:04Bad break, right through the growth plate.
00:06This could prevent Kim's arm from growing properly.
00:08Drew's on call.
00:09Great, thank you.
00:10He has a hernia, it looks strangulated.
00:12You need to operate.
00:13We don't do surgery.
00:14This is meant to be done by two surgeons, it's not a solo rush job.
00:17I'm sorry, but we need your help.
00:19Drew, you're shaking.
00:20Drew!
00:21My head, I think it's a migraine.
00:23Esther, Drew can't continue the surgery.
00:25You need to take over.
00:26If you leave, he could die.
00:27Esther.
00:28Esther, come on!
00:30How far is Naz?
00:31I don't know.
00:32BP's dropping fast, guys.
00:33Esther!
00:34Clamp.
00:35Tell Nick to keep him stable and tell Naz to hurry up.
00:36Ez, Kiwa needs you.
00:37Well, I can't right now, but go and be with him, please.
00:38How are his vitals?
00:39Stable for now.
00:40Good, let's keep it that way.
00:41Is he okay, Nick?
00:42He's fine.
00:43He's fine.
00:44He's fine.
00:45He's fine.
00:46He's fine.
00:47He's fine.
00:48He's fine.
00:49He's fine.
00:50He's fine.
00:51He's fine.
00:52He's fine.
00:53He's fine.
00:54He's fine.
00:55He's fine.
00:56He's fine.
00:57He's fine.
00:58He's fine.
00:59Is he okay, Nick?
01:00He's good.
01:01You got an ETA on Naz?
01:03He's travelling.
01:06How long can Kiwa handle this?
01:08Matty, he's a strong kid.
01:10How long?
01:12Naz is on his way.
01:17Any problems, just come back tomorrow night.
01:21Drew?
01:23Found him upstairs.
01:24He's got a killer migraine, blurred vision and nausea.
01:26Oh, not good.
01:27And Edie's swamped.
01:28So are we.
01:29You need IV proclopyrazine with a liter of normal saline and a long lie in a dark room.
01:34Kiwa.
01:36Kiwa.
01:37Wait, you finished the operation, right?
01:41Oh, God.
01:42Who's operating?
01:45You're alright here, buddy.
01:48He's still stable.
01:50Keep it up, little man.
01:51You're doing amazing.
01:54Where we at?
01:55Drew was just about to pen his radius.
01:57Okay, let's go to Clamps, please.
01:59Sorry, Matty, I think you should leave.
02:01I'm not going anywhere.
02:03It's okay, we've got this.
02:05I'm staying.
02:09Okay, fine.
02:15And we gave him 12.5 milligrams of proclopyrazine, so he should feel better soon.
02:19Okay, thank you, really.
02:20I'll take it from here.
02:21You take it easy, mate.
02:22Hey.
02:23Babe, you okay?
02:25No.
02:26Oh, darling.
02:27I let Kiwa down.
02:29Naz is in there with him, right?
02:31Come on.
02:33Drew, you okay?
02:34Migraine.
02:35Oh, no.
02:36Has he ever had one before?
02:37Stress?
02:38Maybe.
02:39Operating on the boss's son will do that, right?
02:41Among other things.
02:44Okay, we should get you going.
02:45Take care, Drew.
02:46Look after him, would you?
02:51I'm sorry you had to make that decision.
02:53I mean, Naz is all right.
02:54He's with Kiwa.
02:55I just checked, they're finishing the op.
02:56And how is my boy?
02:57He's fine, Mum.
02:58He's right by his side.
03:00You made me choose between my son and a patient.
03:03Do you know how that feels?
03:04We saved Mr. Lato's life.
03:06I said no surgeries.
03:07We had no choice.
03:08Yes, you did.
03:09You could have sent him to ED.
03:11You could have followed protocol, but no GNO's best.
03:13We made the decision together.
03:14Well, I can't believe I trusted you.
03:16Either of you.
03:18Shut it down now.
03:24We successfully stabilized the fracture.
03:26So, Sam's going to be fine?
03:28I'll keep an eye on his recovery, but I don't foresee any issues.
03:32No problem.
03:33I'm just glad I got here in time.
03:35And thank you, Nick, for looking after my boy.
03:37Of course.
03:38We're taking him through to recovery.
03:40You can sit with him.
03:43Mum.
03:44Later, okay?
03:45I'm staying with Kiwa.
03:55Can you get a move on, guys?
03:57Marley, can you start cleaning up a bit, please?
03:59Why can't Billy do it?
04:00Don't worry, Kiwa does it.
04:01It just needs to be done.
04:02Plate's up to the bench.
04:03Thank you so much, mate.
04:05I owe you one.
04:07Ah, much better today, yeah.
04:09I've never really had a headache that bad before.
04:13Okay.
04:14Thanks a lot.
04:16How's your head?
04:17A lot better, but, yeah, a bit salt.
04:20Do you do medical work?
04:21I do.
04:22Salt.
04:23Do you do medical work?
04:24I just told Naz I'm not coming in.
04:28Are you not going to work today?
04:30No, sir.
04:31Sick day.
04:32Dad has got a very sore head.
04:34I can look after you.
04:35Oh, no, darling.
04:36All he needs is a bit of peace and quiet.
04:37No, he needs me.
04:38Marley, you've got school.
04:39Me and Remus can look after you.
04:41Enough, okay?
04:43Marley, that's a very kind offer.
04:44Thank you, darling.
04:45But can you go upstairs and clean your teeth, please?
04:47Hey, sorry, mate.
04:48My head's still really sore from last night.
04:50Just clean your teeth so Mum can get you to school, okay?
04:52Come on, Billy.
04:53You're being too slow.
04:54No, I'm not.
04:55Yes, you are.
04:56Hurry up.
05:03Babe, please don't snap at Marley.
05:06He's really fragile.
05:07Yeah, aren't we all?
05:08I think you need to go see one of the GPs.
05:10I'm fine.
05:12Drew, when was the last time you had a proper check-up?
05:15Exactly.
05:16Don't fuss.
05:18Okay?
05:21Bye.
05:24So, are we going to lose our jobs?
05:26Esther is not going to fire us.
05:28Restarting the clinic was her idea.
05:30We didn't exactly obey the rules, did we?
05:32Mr Luzz, who needed emergency surgery, he would have died.
05:35I just don't want to lose my job.
05:37Peggy, I'm ultimately responsible.
05:39You'd throw yourself under the bus for us?
05:41No one is going to throw themselves under any bus.
05:44We did the right thing.
05:45Esther will see that.
05:46I've got a bone to pick with you.
05:47I think you mean a bone to pick with us.
05:49Gia, it's better if I take the call.
05:50Oh, can you stop being a martyr for one second?
05:52You know about the clinic, yeah?
05:54Poaching my nurses, not cool.
05:56Hey, we helped a lot of people in need.
05:58Don't even.
05:59These eyes are dry.
06:00Sob stories won't work on me.
06:02I'm sorry that we couldn't tell you.
06:04Yeah, top secret.
06:05Orders from the boss.
06:06Whatever.
06:07If you want a nurse, you go through me.
06:08You don't go behind my back.
06:09We didn't mean to undermine you.
06:11I feel sick.
06:12I hope she kicks you guys to the curb.
06:14Not you, I need you in ED.
06:15No, if these two are going to go see Esther, I want to go with them.
06:17We're a team.
06:18You don't have to do that.
06:19Shut up, Chris.
06:20You guys are just as bad as each other.
06:22Don't keep me out of the loop again.
06:25Or else.
06:29She's scary when she's angry.
06:30We can't go on like this all defeated.
06:32Well, how should we go on?
06:34We saw the good this clinic can do.
06:37And we're not about to give up, right?
06:39Yeah, free clinic on three.
06:43We'll get there.
06:45Kiwa is doing really well.
06:47Hopefully we can discharge him later today.
06:49You hear that, son?
06:50We can take you home.
06:52What about ice cream and jelly?
06:55I'll make sure you get some before you go, mate.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Best thing about the hospital.
07:01Do you have any questions?
07:03I'm just glad that you were able to take over.
07:05Oh, well, Drew feels dreadful.
07:07If he wasn't feeling well, he should have let me know before the op.
07:10Migraines can sneak up on you.
07:11I'm sure he didn't realise how bad it was going to get.
07:13Maybe.
07:15I'll be back to check on Kiwa soon.
07:20If you have something to say, then just say it.
07:26Blaming Drew? That's not right.
07:29He was operating on our son.
07:30He did his best.
07:31So did I.
07:33Chris's patient was in critical condition, okay?
07:35Much worse than Kiwa.
07:36Kiwa was alone and vulnerable.
07:38I had to stay with Chris or that patient would have died.
07:41Stay with Chris or that patient would have died.
07:43Yeah, I get that.
07:45You didn't even bat an eyelid.
07:47That's not fair. Of course I did.
07:49As a surgeon, I had to ask myself which patient needed me more.
07:52Okay, so I did what I had to and I felt awful.
07:55It didn't feel good.
07:56And it broke my heart knowing that my baby wanted me and I couldn't be with him.
08:01I was scared it was going to...
08:02I was scared too.
08:04Okay, but I knew that Nick would keep him safe until Niles got there.
08:07Yeah.
08:10I'm sorry.
08:12Yeah, me too.
08:14What happened?
08:17Nothing.
08:18We are just so glad that you're okay, Superman.
08:22Can I have my ice cream now?
08:28And Kiwa didn't see a doctor.
08:30What, he reckons he can macho his way through a migraine?
08:32Good luck with that.
08:33Yeah, exactly.
08:34I know he's been under a lot of pressure.
08:36He felt terrible about Kiwa.
08:38Yeah, and on top of that, Marley's feeling haunted by Remus.
08:42Really?
08:43Well, yeah, it's my shorthand.
08:44He's been talking about him a lot.
08:45He's been dreaming about him.
08:47I really think he needs to go back to the counsellor.
08:49That is really tough.
08:50Yeah, so it's no wonder that Drew's getting headaches when he's trying to operate on someone else's kid.
08:56Right?
08:57Right.
08:58Yeah, that's really stressful.
09:00That's what it will be. It'll be stress.
09:02And God knows I'm not helping with that.
09:05What if...
09:06What?
09:07What if it's something more serious?
09:09Drew has been pretty erratic.
09:11I don't mean to be negative.
09:13Drew can't get seriously ill right now. He just can't.
09:15Well, twist his arm and get him in front of a GP, yeah?
09:24You were on a warpath this morning.
09:25Sorry?
09:26What's he done, Chris, right?
09:28I don't have time for this, Monique, unless you want to jump in and cover Sage while he has a meltdown.
09:32About what?
09:33Hey, can I just get on with my job?
09:35Sure, whatever.
09:39There you are.
09:40Hey, good to see you.
09:43You should have come over last night.
09:44I slept in the encore room. Kiwa's op finished late last night and I wanted to be here when he woke up.
09:49Oh, I would have liked to have seen you.
09:51I'm sorry.
09:53I missed you.
09:54I missed you too.
09:57Essa, um, how is Kiwa?
10:00Uh, yeah, he's good. He's demanding ice cream, so he must be fine.
10:03Good, I'm really glad to hear that.
10:05Anyway, now that I have you both here, give me the lowdown.
10:07The what now?
10:08Kiwa's operation.
10:10Why were you called in when Esther and Chris were already here?
10:13We had an emergency.
10:15It didn't go through ED. I checked.
10:17You checked?
10:18Yeah. You see, I just, I feel like something's going on. I can feel it.
10:22Like what?
10:23Oh, I don't know. You tell me.
10:26No offence, Mum, but you're not medical, so you don't understand how the system works.
10:29I'll put you back to Kiwa.
10:31I think you're being a little paranoid, baby.
10:33Do you?
10:34Every time I walk into a room, people stop talking, like, mid-conversation.
10:37Has that ever happened to you?
10:38No.
10:39Well, it is horrible, and it gives you a complex, kind of like, we used to be friends.
10:42Why don't we like each other now?
10:43I'm sure it's nothing personal.
10:45And you don't work for Shortland Street anymore, which means you can't be included the way you used to be.
10:49Yeah, but that doesn't mean they get to keep me in the dark.
10:51I'm sure that's not the case.
10:53Maybe you could help me. You could keep your ear to the ground, see if you can find anything out.
10:56Spy on my colleagues?
10:58No, I did not say that.
11:00You kind of did.
11:02Okay, yes, a teeny, tiny bit of spying, just to see if this is all in my head or not.
11:06Come on.
11:07Okay, yeah, cool.
11:09Is it so bad for me to just want somebody to be on Team Monique?
11:12I am on Team Monique. It's just work separate, remember?
11:21I'm sorry I'm late.
11:22How's Kiwa?
11:23Yeah, he's, um, he's good.
11:25What a relief. We're sorry we put you in that position.
11:28Are you firing us?
11:30Way to get to the point.
11:32Sorry, I have to know.
11:33I'm not firing you.
11:34Oh, thank God.
11:35I should never have asked you to start the clinic up again.
11:38The clinic is necessary.
11:39There were so many people, whole families.
11:41We can't stop it now.
11:42I understand, but the clinic is just a drop in the bucket, and if we can't staff it the way it should be, we can't provide the level of care that the people need.
11:49So we up the staffing, increase the hours, provide more services?
11:52Without our main shareholders noticing?
11:54Stuff them.
11:55I'm on board.
11:56Many of us would be.
11:57Well, what if we told Monique, you know?
11:59Brought her into the fold on the deal.
12:02Ask her to keep a secret from her bosses.
12:04Have you lost your mind?
12:05If you saw the people we were helping, you would feel the same way.
12:08I do feel the same way.
12:10Doesn't feel that way.
12:11Geo.
12:12I'm not afraid to say it, because you're hiding in the shadows.
12:15You're afraid of Monique, of all people.
12:18This is our hospital too.
12:19We should all have a say.
12:21It's too risky.
12:23Monique is already on to us, and we would be putting people's jobs in jeopardy.
12:27Some things are more important.
12:28Well, that's easy for you to say, Chris.
12:30Chris is right.
12:31If you're not brave enough to get this clinic open, we'll do it without you.
12:35We'll do that, and you might leave me with no choice.
12:46Is anyone home?
12:48Oh.
12:49Well, hello there.
12:50You really had to turn the place upside down, haven't you?
12:53Remus named me.
12:55Molly.
12:56We had to build it.
12:58Oh, yeah?
12:59Why did you have to build the fort?
13:01Because there's an alien invasion.
13:05Hey.
13:06Hey.
13:07How have you been?
13:08I was just having a lie down.
13:11I swear I was quiet.
13:14Remus was a bit louder.
13:16Okay, that'll be good.
13:17Let's help me tidy up.
13:18Come on.
13:21Remus wouldn't like you destroying his fort.
13:23You lean Remus to me.
13:25Don't buy into it.
13:26I had to play with him because everyone else is working or busy or fighting.
13:32Look, sometimes adults just get a bit irritated when they're tired.
13:35That's all.
13:36That's right, mate.
13:37I'll bounce back tomorrow.
13:38I promise.
13:39But then you'll be working too.
13:47I'll get him back to counselling.
13:49He's just missing Remus.
13:51And something's clearly not right with you, too.
13:53You never get migraines.
13:55What am I supposed to do about it?
13:57Listen to your body, Drew, and go and see the GP.
14:03Try not to get any on your flash new cast, buddy.
14:07Is it strawberry or raspberry?
14:09Hmm?
14:10Wow.
14:11I think that'll give you the picture.
14:14Wow.
14:15I think that'll give you the biggest smile I've seen all day.
14:19What's going on?
14:21Chris's surgery.
14:22It wasn't exactly above board.
14:24He and Gia were running the free clinic.
14:26I thought you shut that down.
14:28I did, and then I brought it back.
14:30Oh, OK.
14:31The less people who knew, the better.
14:33Esther.
14:34Yeah, I know, it was a bad idea, and it came back to bite me in the worst way.
14:38And now?
14:39Well, it's not happening.
14:40It can't.
14:42Well, Kiwa wants to show Marley his cast.
14:44That would mean speaking to Drew.
14:47Yes.
14:49OK, I will call him.
14:56Whoa, hey, listen to this.
14:59There is an unhealthy separatism creeping into New Zealand healthcare.
15:02Two systems when there should be only one.
15:04We are one people, one country, and no one deserves special treatment.
15:08Can you believe that?
15:09I'm from right-wing keyboard warriors, I can.
15:11No, that's a press release from an extraterrestrial.
15:16We stand our ground.
15:17The clinic, or we walk.
15:19What, like walk out?
15:20What's she saying?
15:21Yeah, it's...
15:22I'm in.
15:23So am I.
15:24Even if that means a long walk to the doggie house?
15:26What's this?
15:28Esther wants to shut down the free clinic.
15:30We don't want that to happen.
15:31I guess there is always a demand for nurses.
15:33I can't lose you two.
15:35I can't use the Bureau anymore.
15:37I can't recruit new nurses fast enough.
15:39And the staff that I do have, they're all burnt out while I'm run ragged.
15:43Now you lot want to play your silly little games and get yourselves sacked.
15:47That was never the plan.
15:48And all behind my damn back.
15:50We were trying to protect the farm and heads.
15:52And that's what we did.
15:53You're not in trouble.
15:54Well, hallelujah.
15:59So if anything shows up in the bloods, you'll contact me?
16:02Yeah, that's right.
16:03Sometimes a headache is just a headache though, right?
16:06From what you've been telling me about your life in recent months,
16:09we also need to consider depression.
16:12Depression?
16:14Not possible.
16:15It's nothing to be ashamed of.
16:17Depression can sometimes manifest as stress headaches.
16:20Or anger.
16:21You've had a number of negative interactions with people.
16:25That's just life, mate, right?
16:27It's not all rainbows and unicorns.
16:30This is a referral to a clinic that specializes in mood disorders.
16:33I don't need it.
16:34They offer a range of treatment, from therapy to medication.
16:43Hey babe, it's just me.
16:44Call me back, yeah?
16:47Phil's taken off somewhere.
16:48Oh, keep running, girl!
16:50That's not very nice.
16:51What, did you guys have a fight or something?
16:53She was acting a bit weird last night, but now she's just gone.
16:57Yeah, well she probably needs a break. I know I do.
16:59Really? That bad?
17:01Chris persuaded you to be a part of his clinic, didn't he?
17:03No, and it's not just his. Gia's the driving force.
17:06Well, yay for Gia.
17:08Oh, come on.
17:09It's about helping people at the bottom of the heap and the back of the line.
17:12You can't be against that.
17:13No, but there's a way to go about it without causing chaos.
17:16Well, maybe you're right, but it wasn't cool to go off at Chris like that.
17:19Tough.
17:20You just felt left out. Took it personally.
17:23He's wreaking havoc with my nurses.
17:25Yeah, not just your nurses by the look of it.
17:28It's your heart as well.
17:30Can you concentrate on your own love life?
17:32Wise-ass.
17:34Fair yell.
17:36I'm afraid someone will.
17:46Tell me you aren't serious.
17:48Excuse me?
17:49The press release. There are two systems when there should be only one.
17:52Right, we just want a healthcare system that works for all New Zealanders.
17:55Except it doesn't.
17:56Esther, this is the kind of negativity that we do not need.
17:59Monique, the healthcare system is biased and skewed.
18:01There's a large portion of the population missing out.
18:04Your community.
18:05Among others.
18:06Can we please just change the record? New Zealanders are sick and tired of hearing about it.
18:10You actually don't get it, do you?
18:11Look, anyone can walk through those doors and get treatment.
18:13They're not going to be turned away.
18:15It's not that easy.
18:16Really? Because if I can do it, if every patient in this hospital can do it,
18:19then why can't your community?
18:21Are you listening to yourself?
18:23I am doing my job.
18:24No, you're spewing divisive garbage.
18:27This is the official line and I thought you could use a little reminder.
18:29I am here and I need to be across everything. You got it?
18:35Please Sally, I'm dying here.
18:37How about another shift then?
18:39Can you do the weekend?
18:43Then how the hell can I fill my rosters then?
18:47Can't find anyone?
18:48Yeah, probably. All too busy moonlighting in illegal clinics.
18:53Sorry about bugging you before.
18:55Join the club and you'll muck while way off about Chris.
18:59If you say so.
19:01Yes, just called a meeting for everyone involved in the clinic, 5pm.
19:05United we fall, right?
19:06Insane, the both of you.
19:11I get why you're angry.
19:12Really?
19:13And you're right. I have choices, I have privilege.
19:16Yeah, you do.
19:18But I never pressured anyone to be a part of it, I promise you.
19:21I will not do everything I can to protect your nurses.
19:23Too little, too late.
19:25I really hope it isn't.
19:29If she expects us to back down, not happening.
19:31We're with you.
19:33Thanks for coming.
19:35We haven't changed our minds.
19:37In fact, if you don't reopen the clinic, we'll walk.
19:43All of you?
19:44Yep, even though I love my job and this place and these people.
19:48I will quit my job if I have to, but I'm really hoping I don't have to.
19:55According to Medvitas, our free clinic is racist and against their current policies.
20:01Yeah, we saw Monique's press release.
20:03We can't be seen to prioritise Māori and Pasifika patients.
20:06Why are you turning it back?
20:08I said we can't be seen to.
20:11What does that mean?
20:13It means we have to be smarter.
20:16It means we have to be smarter?
20:18That's right.
20:20I mean, there's no greater need and no better team to deliver it.
20:24I'm confused.
20:26I don't want to lose any of you, or the clinic.
20:29So we've got to take it up a level.
20:31Who's we?
20:33All of us.
20:34You're coming on board?
20:36I am, and I'm taking charge.
20:38But this time, we're going to do it right.
20:41But what about Monique and the shareholders?
20:44What about them?
20:48Are you sure you don't need me to come in?
20:51Okay, well, thanks then.
20:54Okay, bye.
20:57Who did you see?
20:59Her smear.
21:01And?
21:03Uh, you know, blood test, blah blah blah.
21:06Well, they're very helpful as you know.
21:09Anything else?
21:11As you'd expect, a bit more exercise, a bit less alcohol.
21:14That's always good advice.
21:16Probably just stress too.
21:18Gotta go somewhere.
21:20Has to come from somewhere as well.
21:23Is that supposed to mean?
21:25What do you think?
21:27It's us.
21:28You know, I thought I was the problem.
21:30But I'm not, am I?
21:32We are dysfunctional as a couple.
21:34No, we're not.
21:35And don't turn me into the problem when it's very much you as well.
21:38Okay, I am not.
21:39But I've stuffed up as well.
21:40I'm doing my best to hold all this together.
21:44You're totally absent, Harper, okay?
21:47We both know it and you have been for ages.
21:49Okay, don't do that.
21:50And Marley feels it too.
21:51That's why he's acting out.
21:52That is not fair.
21:53Do you have any idea what it has been like living with you lately?
21:57I know and I've just said I'm doing my best.
22:00You've completely checked out.
22:01You're not in this marriage.
22:02You're not in this family.
22:03You haven't been for months.
22:04Drew, Drew, I really want to make it right.
22:06Okay, well then let's talk it out right now.
22:08Cards on the table.
22:09You tell me what do you think is happening here?
22:14Okay, well, I think you have been struggling ever since Remus died and Boyd turned against you.
22:21That is in the past, Harper.
22:22Tell me what it's been now.
22:23No, it's not in the goddamn past because you never dealt with it.
22:25Oh, so I'm the problem.
22:27I'm not saying that.
22:28Look, Hal, I'm probably more to blame than either of us.
22:30Okay, now what do you mean by that?
22:32I'm just saying I know I played a part, but you've got to admit you have been pretty hard going for a long time.
22:36Yeah, because I can't reach you.
22:37I'm right here.
22:38You have shut off.
22:39You have disconnected.
22:40And no bloody wonder I think you're having an affair.
22:42Stop fighting.
22:47Sorry, Marley.
22:50Sorry, darling, we're just talking.
22:51No, you weren't.
22:52You were fighting.
22:53Yeah, we are.
22:54And sometimes grownups do that, mate.
22:56And then they get a divorce and they leave their children.
22:59No, we're not leaving you.
23:00No, no way.
23:01But you will.
23:02I know you will.
23:03Just like Mum did.
23:15We could help a lot of people, but only if you all work with me.
23:19Will Resistance.
23:20Look, I know something's going on, so give me the tea.
23:22Come at a price.
23:23You're walking a dangerous line and putting your job at risk.
23:26Shortland Street.
23:27Next on 2.
23:28And TVNZ Plus.
