FunTranscript
00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:02I attacked the surgery bill for a less fortunate patient onto a wealthy one's invoice.
00:06Marty, that is fraud. And now I have information that I have to report.
00:09You went behind my back.
00:10I made sure she knows you had nothing to do with my actions.
00:13You just can't help yourself, can you?
00:15I will resign right now if that's what you want. I quit. Effective immediately.
00:20Kuro.
00:21Karamea.
00:22I'm not feeling well.
00:23Is your mum with you?
00:26No, I am.
00:31Hey, give me an update on the kid.
00:33Uh, she is being perfectly well looked after by Dr Te Arikura.
00:37Oh, good morning to you too.
00:39This place is useless FYI. Sit for you, Gia.
00:41Why don't you tell us how you really feel?
00:43Uh, our staff was really busy last night, so we're still waiting on bloods and radiology.
00:48I could have assessed her.
00:50I like you. You've got a great bedside manner. I love the way you do your hair too.
00:54Thanks.
00:55I'd like you to be my nurse.
00:58Thanks.
00:59I'd like you to look after Karamea, not this old coot.
01:02This old coot has 25 years medical experience, but no, no, as you wish.
01:06Kuro.
01:07Hey, sweetheart. How are you feeling?
01:09Yucky.
01:10Oh, that's no good.
01:14Where's Bonnie?
01:15She's on holiday. It's well deserved. I'm not going to call her just yet.
01:18It hurts.
01:19When are we going to get to see the specialist? I could take her to Central.
01:22Oh, don't be ridiculous.
01:24I'm talking to Gia.
01:25She'll just get bumped down the queue.
01:28What's the fastest way to get her seen?
01:30Emmett's right. You should probably stay here.
01:33Okay, fine.
01:44Yep.
01:49Okay.
01:51Kiwa said I have to learn at least two new words every day.
01:54Mm-hm.
01:56Okay. Maybe I'll start with, have you accepted my resignation yet?
02:01Look, take your time. I'm just saying sorry. Again.
02:04And I'll keep saying it until it kicks in.
02:06I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
02:12Okay. So you want me to suffer?
02:15Is it uncomfortable?
02:16Yes.
02:17Oh, good.
02:18Yes, it...
02:19Well, you want me to rush through things and just pretend like everything's fine?
02:22No. Just let me know where I'm at.
02:24Well, I can't because I don't know.
02:26Okay. Then what can I do?
02:28Look up these words.
02:41I don't really understand why you're so polite to Emmett.
02:44He's my colleague.
02:46So how long have you known him?
02:48A little while.
02:49A little while.
02:50And so how many times has his pig-headedness got him into trouble?
02:53Uh, not sure.
02:55Let me guess. He got a verbal warning for being rude to some poor nurse?
02:59Mm, not sure.
03:01Come on. You can be honest with me.
03:03He's a good doctor.
03:05Yeah, a good doctor, but is he a good human being?
03:08His unique perspective isn't always shared, that's for sure.
03:12He's a dick. Come on. You can say it.
03:16Loyal. Oh, he'll like that.
03:19I'm not disagreeing with you, but I will say that he's different around her.
03:25Yeah, well, he doesn't get Grandfather of the Year just because he softens to some cute sick kid.
03:30I'm not saying that.
03:31He owes us a hundred times more than that.
03:34You know, I have some pretty complicated whanau stuff going on,
03:39so if you ever wanted to have a kōrero about anything, I'd...
03:42No, I'm fine. Thanks, darling. Yeah.
03:44Um, could you ask somebody to bring some more blankets for our girls?
03:48Yeah, of course. Thank you.
03:51Of course.
03:53Kia ora, Shortland Street Harbour Stage speaking.
03:55Sorry, it's not kia ora, it's hello.
03:58Don't rogue your eyes at me.
04:00No problem, kakita.
04:02And who are you, the phone police?
04:03If you're a guideline, stick to them.
04:05Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
04:06Out there in the community, not in this hospital.
04:08Don't fight it, mon. Te Wiki is bigger than the both of us.
04:12That's him.
04:13Everyone, this is Julian Jonas,
04:16Shortland Street's biggest shareholder.
04:18Hey, team.
04:19He's here to observe and support Monique.
04:23No, Mikey, Shortland Street.
04:25Thank you so much.
04:26And if you could all spread the word,
04:28a message straight from the board.
04:29We're all fired.
04:30I know it's been scary,
04:32seeing all the job cuts in the public service,
04:34but we're doing all we can to counter them
04:36by channeling our funds into resourcing the front lines.
04:38That's you.
04:40Nice save.
04:41True.
04:42I love a good heckler.
04:44Any concerns?
04:45Please, feel free to talk to me.
04:47I have a question about Dame Nada Glavish
04:48and the history of phone etiquette in this nation.
04:50Me too.
04:51Please don't let us hold you up.
04:53Shall I take you on a tour?
04:54I can manage that.
04:55Okay.
04:56Also, Esther, this Te Wiki initiative is amazing,
04:58but not in this hospital.
05:00We do something every year, you know that.
05:02I agree with Monique.
05:03English only.
05:04For patient safety.
05:05Let's move on, shall we?
05:07Lead the way.
05:15Hey, so what did you think of her?
05:17About?
05:18Unaiera.
05:20Oh, she is gorgeous.
05:22Not what I meant.
05:24I think you should be more worried about what she thinks of you.
05:27Why, what did she say about me?
05:29Sorry, patient confidentiality.
05:31Oh, come on, Chia,
05:33this is hardly breaking patient confidentiality.
05:36Okay, fine.
05:38Don't tell me.
05:40I don't care anyway.
05:43I think you should give Bonnie a call.
05:46Well, getting to know my grandchild was fun while it lasted.
05:49Kadamia's results have come in.
05:52What?
05:54What's going on?
05:56It looks like she had a recent strep A infection.
05:58Add that to her existing symptoms.
06:03Rheumatic fever.
06:07Rheumatic fever.
06:12I love you with all my heart.
06:15You can use that on Harper.
06:17Sorry?
06:18To patch things up.
06:20We're okay.
06:21Really?
06:22Yeah.
06:24Okay, then how come you're still, you know,
06:26what, kind of down?
06:30Okay, why don't we do this te wiki challenge?
06:33Beat all these other suckers.
06:37Come on, man, we've got to do something.
06:40You mean win?
06:41There he is.
06:43Tō ke tō hanga i tēnei rā.
06:46Let's go.
06:48You better get busy.
06:49Surgical department's going to win this thing.
06:50Hey, challenge accepted.
06:52I think they can beat us.
06:54Selena.
06:56Kia tīnā tahi tā oa.
06:58What did I say?
06:59Let's have lunch together.
07:01Okay, how about this?
07:03I didn't understand you before, but I do now,
07:05because i roto i te pauri, te marama e whiti ana.
07:10We're out of control.
07:12I think you're not quite using that in the right context.
07:16Let's dial it down, shall we?
07:18Julian's not here.
07:19You can be yourself now, Mum.
07:20I am being myself.
07:22We get it.
07:23You have to put on a big show for your big boss.
07:24You've got to pay for the mani-pedi somehow.
07:26I believe in his mandates.
07:28They're racist.
07:29He's mouldy.
07:30His ideas aren't.
07:31He's all about equality.
07:33You know?
07:34Everyone on the same level for everything.
07:36That's it.
07:38Simple.
07:39Just think before you speak.
07:47She had a throat infection.
07:49Yeah, I know.
07:50Strapped up.
07:52She never complained of a sore throat.
07:54Not to me, not once.
07:55Well, our bloods tell a different story,
07:57but she's here now and that's the main thing.
08:01You know, we're not really a normal family, eh?
08:03He's not really her grandfather or her koro.
08:07I understand.
08:09I know you have been there for her through everything.
08:13But...
08:14Sorry?
08:16Well, I know there's definitely a but coming.
08:19It's not really my place, but...
08:23maybe Emma's trying.
08:25Trying?
08:26Trying my nerves.
08:28Trying to be a part of her life.
08:30Yeah, well, you know,
08:31there's some things that are just too little too late.
08:42Time's up.
08:43Koro's been reading me a story.
08:51If you want us to meet your targets,
08:53give us adequate resources.
08:55Is this show me the money time?
08:57It is.
08:58All right.
08:59We can talk figures
09:01when you come clean about why you've been seeking extra donations.
09:05How do you know about that?
09:06I've been keeping my eye on you.
09:09That's my job.
09:11To the best of my knowledge,
09:12you're not receiving any less than our other hospitals.
09:15So why are you asking for more?
09:16Why are you surprised?
09:17Why didn't you run this by the board?
09:19I've been seeking donations for the very same reason
09:21I'm sitting in front of you right now.
09:23There's no more money.
09:24Well, then plenty of patients will die
09:26if you don't get money from somewhere.
09:29What do you think of me?
09:31What do you mean?
09:32I've been in your shoes before.
09:34I know what it's like to have to advocate for your patients.
09:37But you're acting like you've never had to compromise.
09:39You're calling me a hypocrite.
09:41Not at all.
09:43But we're not that dissimilar.
09:44I beg to differ.
09:46You come in here every day and make the hard decisions.
09:49You make the decisions nobody else wants to make.
09:51Sure.
09:52You have to keep the people above you happy
09:54and the people who work for you peaceful.
09:57Everyone has to do that.
09:59Not everyone does it as well as you.
10:01You shoulder a lot of responsibility.
10:04You don't know me.
10:06And you don't know me.
10:10Why are you pushing Te Reo Māori on your staff?
10:13I'm not.
10:15Te Piki o Te Reo Māori, it happens every year.
10:17I'm not sure what we're discussing here.
10:19Do you think your Pākehā staff want it shoved down their throat?
10:21They love it.
10:22All of them?
10:24Our reo will die if you don't speak it.
10:26You want to stick the reo on a defib machine?
10:28Force it back to life?
10:29Well, it's already alive and it's not going anywhere.
10:31I'm confused.
10:32Is it dying or thriving?
10:35I love the reo.
10:38But I wouldn't advise anyone to speak the reo.
10:45You know the reo?
10:47Yes.
10:48And I want to protect the reo.
10:50That means keeping it out of the hospital.
10:52Right, but how is hiding it protecting it?
10:55Has there ever been a mistake?
10:57A miscommunication because of the reo?
11:00How far do you want to take this experiment?
11:02I'm sorry?
11:03We're both surgeons.
11:04What if we started using the reo in the operating theatre?
11:07Um...
11:09Ngāhi,
11:10Who won that round?
11:24Was it me?
11:31What's happened?
11:33They wanted to give her medication via IV,
11:35but she's not having it.
11:38So why did you call me?
11:40She asked for koro.
11:44Well, hang on, I'm not sure I should go in there yet.
11:46Koro!
11:52Now moko, it's just a little bit sharp, okay?
11:55For just a tiny little second.
11:57No.
11:58What's happening?
11:59I don't like the needle.
12:00Just straighten your arm and try and keep still, darling.
12:02Go away, nanny.
12:05Hey!
12:06Bee-Bob!
12:08Why don't you tell me you're crook too?
12:11Oh, you are?
12:13Well, I'll tell you what.
12:14Dr J here will fix you right up.
12:17Bees can't talk.
12:19No, you're a few years late with that one.
12:23Well, here.
12:24Let me have a go with it.
12:26I don't like the needle.
12:28No.
12:29Fair enough.
12:30But it doesn't hurt when I do it, I promise.
12:32No offence.
12:33Koro's been doing this for centuries.
12:35Hey, hey, hey.
12:37Longer than me.
12:39I'll tell you what.
12:41How about I promise to get you something for after?
12:44We could get a television in here.
12:46Nanny has a tablet.
12:48Ah.
12:50Well, what then?
12:52You name it.
12:53Will you come and visit me?
12:55Um...
12:56Every week?
13:00All righty then.
13:01You promise?
13:05I promise.
13:09Hey, look at Beebuck, darling.
13:14All done.
13:15You all right?
13:17It doesn't even hurt.
13:18Well, it's not my first rodeo, kid.
13:25The collective works well.
13:27Really?
13:28Well, look at them, talking, problem solving.
13:30Handing around cake.
13:32Manaakitanga is one of our core values.
13:34How many hours do you spend listening to their feedback and input?
13:38It's worth it.
13:40Prove it.
13:41None of our nurses are leaving for Australia like other hospitals.
13:44Nevertheless, the real aim is to get rid of meetings and bureaucrats,
13:48not add to the pile.
13:50You're just giving yourself more admin.
13:52I don't see it like that.
13:53You may have to see it like that.
13:55I need to say something.
13:57No, you don't.
13:58Dr. Samuels has achieved amazing things at Shortland Street.
14:01She practically saved this whole place.
14:03When everyone was striking, she listened to them.
14:06Really listened.
14:07Thank you for that.
14:08She kick-started the brain app, so wait times are down.
14:11We have a nurse who's co-HOD of the emergency department,
14:13which is completely groundbreaking.
14:15So maybe you could try looking at the good for once.
14:18What's your name, sorry?
14:20Dr. Walker.
14:21Marty.
14:22I think our lunch has been sorted, so let's move on, shall we?
14:31Have you seen Monique?
14:32Not for ages.
14:33Good.
14:34Let's hope she threw a sickie for the rest of the week.
14:36Play nice, please.
14:38Why should I?
14:39She always thinks she's right when she's not,
14:41and even if she knows it, she'll just double down.
14:43Well, she is your friend in flatty.
14:45Was.
14:46She's still your friend, she just has a new job.
14:48That is no excuse to go full fascist.
14:51I get it, OK?
14:53But you have to just calm down, like she asked.
14:57Well, now I'm starting to question your attitude.
14:59Go for it.
15:00Why are you defending her?
15:01I know what it feels like to have a brand new job.
15:04You know, there's so many policies you have to execute,
15:07and no one lifts a finger to help.
15:09You and Mon are besties, OK?
15:11Don't lose that over someone else's battles.
15:14So does this mean we're not doing the today or challenge anymore?
15:17Oh, we're doing it.
15:21I have to get Monique to sync my phone to this tablet.
15:24It's driving me nuts.
15:25Tech support can do that for you.
15:27But Monique's so fast.
15:28Except it's not her job.
15:35Monique, hi.
15:38You can cancel the Zoom with our shareholders.
15:40I'll see them all tonight.
15:42No, you don't have to come.
15:44Oh, I do need you to sort some tech for me.
15:46It won't take you long.
15:49Yeah, happy to work the room by myself.
15:52Done it plenty of times before.
15:54You work on that report.
15:56Cheers, Mon.
16:06You're speaking Maori again, naughty, naughty.
16:08I'm off the clock.
16:10I can speak whatever I like.
16:11But we're in a hospital.
16:13Rules are made to be broken.
16:15Didn't Uncle TK teach you that?
16:19Told you I'm keeping an eye.
16:21Really?
16:24That's why I want to keep talking.
16:28I've got my own meeting book, clock purse strings.
16:30You have other plans tonight?
16:32No.
16:34Then come. We'll have fun.
16:36More than we should.
16:38Maybe another time.
16:41Well, if you change your mind, just let me know.
16:49Hey, bad news?
16:51I'm just wondering Chris's opinion on whether I should go to his fundraiser with Julian or not.
16:56Oh, did the board invite you?
16:59No, but Julian did what she says is good, right?
17:03I guess. What did Chris say?
17:05Nothing, as usual.
17:07Wasn't exactly encouraging.
17:09Well, I think it would be best if you stay at home.
17:12Yeah, I guess so.
17:14I've got to go.
17:16Well, I think it would be best if you stay at home.
17:19Why?
17:21So we can talk without you finding an escape route.
17:24No. If you want to talk, you can book an appointment.
17:27Oh, come on, babe. How long are you going to drag this out?
17:29No, no, no. Don't you turn this on me, okay?
17:31This is your stuff.
17:32No, I know that.
17:33And your crime. So I will deal with it when I am ready.
17:39Okay.
17:40Okay, haere rā.
17:42E noho rā.
17:44And kā kite.
17:46Hallie, nice seeing you being discharged, mate. How are you feeling?
17:49Much better.
17:50Do you hear that?
17:52Okay, bye for good this time.
17:54Harper is happy to hear that.
17:56Okay, we're heading off now, then.
17:58First, let me share some wisdom passed down through the generations.
18:03Let me guess, in serio?
18:04Yeah.
18:05Just to win the competition?
18:07So I can encourage you as part of our Aotearoa whānau?
18:10I don't need encouragement.
18:12Well, you're facing great hardship, Nick.
18:14Looking after Pele? You've been demoted, Maeve shot the gap.
18:17Drew, do you mind?
18:18But you will stand strong and resilient as the rock stands firm in the sea.
18:24We don't have time for this.
18:26Tōka tū moana.
18:28Great.
18:29Tōka is rock?
18:31Mm-hmm. Exactly. Moana is sea.
18:34Yeah.
18:35Tū is to stand.
18:38You can take your resilient rock and shove it, okay? I need to get Pele home.
18:42Oh, um...
18:43Maeve!
18:51Wow! You look amazing.
18:55Are you going out? I cooked.
18:57For the fundraiser.
18:59Oh. Well, I could come.
19:02What about the kids?
19:03We could get a sitter.
19:05Let's not waste money on a boring fundraiser.
19:07Well, I'll blow it off, then. I'll throw in a tux, we can watch TV.
19:11I can't, Marnie.
19:13Do you really have to go?
19:21Wow. Look at you.
19:24Let's make a move, shall we?
19:25No rush.
19:26Don't want to be late.
19:27Hey, Martin.
19:28Don't wait up.
19:34I think we've got time for one more round before kick-off.
19:37Do we?
19:38If we knuckle down.
19:45What happened to not being his plus one?
19:48He ordered two, too.
19:50You don't have to play these games.
19:52Why not? I'm winning.
19:53Oh, he's letting you win, and you don't know it.
19:57Go home.
19:58Whatever Marty's done, this is the wrong punishment.
20:02Have a good night, Chris.
20:08Dr Warner.
20:10The man. The legend.
20:12Yep.
20:13You didn't want him to join us?
20:15No.
20:16Why not?
20:17He was trying to manage me. I'm a little over there.
20:20You're not?
20:21No, I'm not.
20:23Why not?
20:24He was trying to manage me. I'm a little over there.
20:27Okay.
20:29He thinks you're trying to manipulate me.
20:31What did I do?
20:32Nothing. It's what you're about to do.
20:35I feel strangely on the back foot with you.
20:37You're the man in charge. The one with all the money and power.
20:41What if I said I wanted to share that power?
20:44I'd rather you share the money.
20:46I'll share anything.
20:48Does that scare you?
20:54PHONE VIBRATES
20:56Let's start on this bottle, shall we?
21:08You were really good with her, with the Ivy line.
21:13Thanks.
21:16I'm learning as I go.
21:18The bebop stunt? She's too old for that.
21:24Have you called Bonnie?
21:26Yep. She's on the next flight.
21:29She's a good mum?
21:31She's the best.
21:33Well, I'll leave you to it.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:40I should have told you when she was born.
21:43I should have called to let you know you had a grandchild
21:46so that you wouldn't be caught by surprise.
21:49Why didn't you?
21:51Because I couldn't take the chance that you wouldn't turn up.
21:54She's my granddaughter.
21:56She's Bonnie's daughter.
21:58I could have helped.
22:00Neither of you even gave me the chance, Angel.
22:02Don't...
22:03Don't what?
22:04Don't call me that.
22:08You messed up with Bonnie time and time again.
22:11You don't get endless chances.
22:13And you don't get to keep me from my own grandchild.
22:17Um, so what do you think was going to happen if I told you?
22:21Do you think that Bonnie would have welcomed you back?
22:23And that all of a sudden you would have been kuro, you know?
22:26No effort, no work.
22:28Well, we'll never know now, will we? Thanks to you and Bonnie.
22:32I told you why I was sorry, and I meant it.
22:35But I'm not sorry for everything.
22:37Angel, I'm...
22:38Stop it!
22:39Ow!
22:42What's wrong, darling?
22:43Ow!
22:44Where does it hurt?
22:46Your chest.
22:49What does that mean?
22:51Just breathe nice and slow for me, sweetheart, all right?
22:54That's it.
22:57Very good.
