00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:31I'm sorry.
00:32Fresh stuff.
00:33Really?
00:40Are you sure there's no one else?
00:42Esther asked me, I couldn't say no.
00:44Thank you for handing these.
00:47Okay, well I will wait up for you then.
00:49Don't know how late I'm going to be.
00:50I've been thinking all day.
00:51Is five minutes fine with you?
00:52Too much to ask for?
00:53That's what I want too.
00:54Are you sure?
00:55Of course.
00:57Okay.
00:58I'll see you later then.
00:59Later.
01:02Hey Harper, do you want to join us for a drink tonight?
01:06Harper's probably got plans.
01:07I don't, actually.
01:09Drew's working.
01:10Alright then, let's go.
01:11Well, probably have to relieve the babysitter, right?
01:14You know it.
01:15See you later.
01:18You scared her off.
01:19Freeze a crowd.
01:20I'd like having you two myself, but Harper needs...
01:22Well...
01:24I can't do that with Harper around.
01:26You won't.
01:37No, no, no.
01:38I will take that.
01:40Perfect, thanks.
01:42Okay, barely.
01:43Ready to roll?
01:44Okay.
01:45Bye.
01:46See you.
01:47Hey, don't forget your lunch.
01:49You want to ask me about work?
01:51Yeah.
01:52Hey.
01:53Hi Cass.
01:54Hi.
01:55Hi.
01:58Hey.
02:00I'm sorry about last night.
02:04Me too.
02:05It got a bit crazy.
02:06I just want us to get along.
02:08And I want to be able to trust you.
02:12Same.
02:14So you need to tell the truth.
02:17Maeve said we're having a clean slate.
02:19Yeah, she wants to thank the best of you.
02:21Well, she's a good person.
02:23You took money from my bag.
02:25And from the cafe.
02:27I didn't steal from the cafe.
02:29Cassie, if you want to move along as a family,
02:31you have to own up to what you've done.
02:33So I'm to blame.
02:34Your lies aren't helping.
02:36You don't even see it.
02:37How toxic you are.
02:40Okay, I've been dealing with a lot,
02:43and I could have dealt with it better.
02:45It's always you, you, you.
02:47Excuse me?
02:48Your pain, your grief, you're the victim.
02:50No, that is not.
02:51Yes, it is.
02:52And you take it out on everyone else.
02:54Me, Maeve, Belle.
02:56I'm trying to be better.
02:58Maeve's going to leave you.
02:59Don't say that.
03:01It's only a matter of time.
03:02Shut up.
03:03You shut up.
03:04I have to listen to you badmouth me every day.
03:07The end would be so disappointed.
03:11That is it.
03:12What?
03:13You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
03:15Maeve doesn't see the side of you.
03:17You make me this way.
03:19God, I feel bad for Belle.
03:21What are you going to do to him when he's my age?
03:24At least he doesn't have a lying, sneaky thief for a mum.
03:29Keep it up.
03:30You're going to lose everyone, all of your family.
03:33Maeve, Belle, you don't deserve them.
03:46Here you go.
03:47What's this?
03:48A coffee. You look like you need it.
03:50I mean, my treat. Enjoy.
03:52How are you?
03:53Thanks.
03:54I'm going to get some sleep in the encore room soon,
03:57but this won't even touch the side.
04:00We good?
04:01I'm good. You good?
04:03I'm fine.
04:04I'm here.
04:06See that?
04:07Just letting you know.
04:15Look, I can't.
04:17You can't say good morning?
04:18I can't. Anything. OK?
04:20That's right.
04:21Do you want to get a coffee?
04:23You've got one.
04:24Come on, tell me what's going on.
04:26We stuffed up, yes, but we're still mates, right?
04:29It's a shit show. True? All of it.
04:41I'm being serious. You might as well move in.
04:43We're not ready for that yet.
04:45Are you kidding? You guys stay over every single night.
04:47Don't you have a full house already?
04:49You mean Nas, Mr Awkward?
04:51Give him a break. He hasn't flattered in ages.
04:53It's like he's landed on another planet.
04:55Anyway, let's change the subject. I'll get shower flashbacks.
04:58Tell me your talk to Phil about moving in.
05:00Well, it's more of a future goal, you know?
05:02Future goals. You guys are thinking long-term.
05:04Don't plan the wedding just yet.
05:06You guys are so right for each other.
05:07Do you know what I mean, Harper?
05:08When two people are just perfect for each other,
05:10it's like, why did it take them so long?
05:12Is it like why it's taking you so long to refill those oxygen masks?
05:16Nearly done.
05:17Love is beautiful.
05:21Sorry about that.
05:23Who am I to stand in the way of love?
05:25Harper, you were welcome to join us for a drink.
05:27Yes, I know.
05:28Phil didn't mean to go off.
05:29Hey, Mrs Williams needs some more pain relief.
05:31Yep, on it.
05:34Harper, this one's you.
05:37Hey.
05:38Carveuse's tree at speed.
05:40Unrestrained driver.
05:41Probable internal injuries.
05:42BP 90 over 60.
05:43Heart rate 120.
05:44GCS 12.
05:46Abe, can you hear me?
05:47No.
05:49Okay, we're going to take care of you.
05:50Okay, yeah, through to recess, thanks.
05:56Alright, alright, just try to relax, Abe.
05:59He's still hypertensive, 85 over 60.
06:01Okay, put up another liter of saline.
06:03On it.
06:05There's free fluid in his abdomen,
06:07probably from a splenic rupture.
06:09We need to get him to the operating room.
06:11Sage, can you let Dan in?
06:12I'll save this space.
06:13BP's dropping, 85 over 60.
06:15Okay, we need to get him to CT.
06:17Alright, Abe, you've just got some internal bleeding.
06:19We're going to take you to theatre.
06:20You're in good hands.
06:25Let's prep to move him.
06:35Can I help you?
06:37You've just been on your phone for ages.
06:39So?
06:40Is everything okay?
06:41It's fine.
06:42You bit Drew's head off before.
06:44What?
06:45I'm just saying, don't drag him into your dramas.
06:47He's got enough to deal with.
06:49You must be loving being back on the desk.
06:51Yeah, yeah, I am actually.
06:53I'm just saying, don't drag him into your dramas.
06:55He's got enough to deal with.
06:57You must be loving being back on the desk.
06:59Yeah, yeah, I am actually.
07:01I'm just saying, don't drag him into your dramas.
07:03Yeah, yeah, I am actually.
07:04You can be a busybody again.
07:11Hi, this is Abe Murphy, MVA, erupted spleen,
07:14and his CT is available to view.
07:16Okay, thanks. Let's go.
07:17He's an old mate.
07:18He was coached by Owen too.
07:22He said no to treatment, but he didn't mean that.
07:25So you've got to save him.
07:26We'll try, mate.
07:31You heard Abe, right?
07:33Yeah, he was in no state to make that call.
07:35I'm not saying we shouldn't treat him, but he said it.
07:37He was hypertensive and in considerable pain.
07:41The other day, the same type of accident.
07:45Bad luck.
07:46Or he did it on purpose.
07:47Billy, we cannot know that.
07:49It's too much of a coincidence.
07:50Billy.
07:51I should have known. I've been there.
07:52Okay, just, this is not helping.
07:54Well, I could have helped him, but instead I let him walk out.
07:56I could have done something.
07:57Stop it.
07:58Abe is in surgery.
07:59Drew and Phil will do everything they can.
08:01And if he makes it through...
08:02What?
08:03If...
08:04He's in a bad way, you know that.
08:05If he makes it through, then we can get him the help he needs.
08:12Suction.
08:13There's a lot of blood.
08:15Definitely significant hemorrhaging from the sprain.
08:17Yeah.
08:20Are you okay, Drew?
08:21I'm fine. I've had a power nap.
08:24Clem?
08:26All right.
08:27Let's start the dissection around the spleen.
08:30Careful with the adhesions.
08:32Would you like to take over?
08:34Is there a problem?
08:35Ask this guy.
08:38Vitals are stable.
08:39BP holding at 95 over 60.
08:42Good.
08:43Right.
08:44Proceeding with the resection of the spleen.
08:47Scissors, please.
08:48Scissors.
08:50Vitals are dropping.
08:51BP 70 over 40.
08:52Heart rate's 130.
08:53Damn, he's bleeding out somewhere.
08:54You have to find it.
08:55I can't see a thing. More suction?
08:57Have you found the source?
08:58What do you think?
09:00BP's dropping.
09:01Come on, Drew. We're losing him.
09:04Thank you, Mrs. Walters.
09:06Don't forget to collect your prescription.
09:10Hey.
09:11How are things with your mate?
09:13Yeah, mate.
09:14Double sorted.
09:15I'm Cassie.
09:16What happened?
09:17I don't want to pile on my problems.
09:21I'd like to help.
09:22Come on, I'm here. Lay it on me.
09:24You've got enough to deal with.
09:26No, because it's something that I've done.
09:28What?
09:29Someone said something.
09:31What are you talking...
09:33Said something about what?
09:35Nothing.
09:36So we're good?
09:37Yeah, of course.
09:39Let's go get that coffee.
09:40Finally.
09:41My shot.
09:42Check those clamps. They might have slipped.
09:44Clamps are secure.
09:45Could be the splenic vein.
09:47Possibly.
09:49Retract there. We need better exposure. More suction?
09:53Suction.
09:56I see it. The splenic vein is torn.
09:58Hemostat.
09:59Hemostat.
10:02I see it.
10:03The splenic vein is torn.
10:04Hemostat.
10:05Hemostat.
10:06I see it.
10:07The splenic vein is torn.
10:08Hemostat.
10:09Hemostat.
10:10Hemostat.
10:12It's not holding.
10:14You need the vascular clamp.
10:16One more try.
10:18Vitals are still dropping.
10:2060 over 35.
10:22Start another unit of blood.
10:25Vascular clamp.
10:26About time.
10:28Got it?
10:29Give me a minute here.
10:30Do you want me to take over?
10:31No.
10:32I don't want to be the one to tell Vili that we've lost his friend.
10:34Can you just let me focus, please?
10:36Got it.
10:37Bleeding is slowing.
10:38More suction?
10:39Suctioning.
10:40Blood pressure is coming up.
10:4170 over 35.
10:43Let me suture the tear.
10:44No.
10:45I got it.
10:46Suturing.
10:48The splenic vein.
10:52Almost there.
10:54BP is stabilizing.
10:5685 over 50.
10:58Heart rate's coming down.
10:59Almost done.
11:03And done.
11:05And done.
11:06Bleeding is controlled.
11:08Well done.
11:10Right, let's finish up.
11:12Sure.
11:13Let's move efficiently and carefully.
11:15We don't want any more surprises.
11:22Wow, she really didn't pull any punches.
11:24What if she's right?
11:25Nick.
11:26Maeve and I are just holding on.
11:28You know, if I push her away any further...
11:30You sorted it though, right?
11:32It's pretty tenuous.
11:34I mean, how long until the next blow-up?
11:37Oh yeah, I hate that feeling.
11:39True?
11:41Yeah.
11:42I waited up for him last night, but he never came home.
11:45It's like he'd rather sleep in the on-call room than next to me.
11:48Does he know how much you want to fix things?
11:51He does.
11:52But there's nothing I can do if he won't meet me halfway.
11:55I mean, at least you and Maeve are trying.
11:57It'd be easier if Cassie wasn't around.
12:01Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
12:03But you can take her out of the picture, you know.
12:06That is not possible.
12:07No, it is.
12:08Just don't let her get in between you and Maeve anymore.
12:11Be the bigger person, forget about the past,
12:13and focus on the future you want with Maeve.
12:16And when Cassie realises that she's not getting under your skin,
12:19she will back off.
12:21If I want Maeve back, then I have to work things out with Cassie.
12:27OK.
12:29Then that was lousy advice.
12:32No, it wasn't.
12:33It wasn't.
12:34Some friend.
12:35Can't even sort out my own relationship.
12:38Sorry.
12:39Hey, it's not your fault.
12:42I'm really glad we're talking like this again, though.
12:44It's been ages.
12:45I know.
12:47I missed it.
12:59– How's Abe?
13:00– The op was a success.
13:02Maeve's in recovery.
13:04– Thank you, man.
13:05– You're going to see him?
13:07– Yeah.
13:08– You said he refused treatment, and this is the second time he's been in.
13:12– I'm kidding myself.
13:13I didn't see the signs.
13:14– But he didn't want you to see him.
13:21– I don't know.
13:23– You don't know.
13:25If he didn't want you to see him.
13:28I need to apologize to Phil.
13:30What for?
13:31I took things out on her a bit in the surgery.
13:33What things?
13:34Just a long day. Too long.
13:36Can you tell her I'm sorry?
13:38Okay.
13:39And we'll organize psych to come and see Abe.
13:41Yeah.
13:42He didn't know how to deal with what happened to us.
13:45I could have helped him.
13:47He'll be okay.
13:48You think so?
13:52Thank you.
13:55Hey.
13:56Meg!
13:57I'm sorry about this morning.
13:59I put it all on you and that wasn't fair.
14:01Thanks.
14:02I think Meg suspects something.
14:04Shut it down.
14:06We'll be fine. She'll forget about it.
14:08We can move forward as mates.
14:11Of course.
14:13But I do need to step back.
14:15Okay?
14:16I spent some time with Harper this afternoon.
14:19It was really hard.
14:21I'm sorry.
14:22I spent some time with Harper this afternoon.
14:25It was really good.
14:27I don't want to risk it.
14:30Just for a bit, you know?
14:32Yeah.
14:33Okay.
14:34I have to go amend things at home.
14:36Wish me luck.
14:37Luck.
14:46She treats you like crap.
14:47That is enough.
14:48No, Cassie's right.
14:50I'm not proud of her behaviour.
14:53And I'm as much to blame as Cassie for this mess.
14:58Gee, thanks.
15:00I want to make things right between us.
15:02You would like for me to disappear.
15:04Well, it has crossed my mind that it might be easier if you weren't here.
15:09Nick, see? She hates me.
15:11But I thought about it and our lives would be so empty without you and Knox.
15:17Yeah, right.
15:18You're my family.
15:20Stop lying.
15:21I will prove it to you, okay?
15:24Are you believing this?
15:26Cass, honey, you need to try too.
15:28What do you think I've been doing?
15:30She acts like I'm a criminal, like I don't belong.
15:32You're holding on to resentment.
15:34Nick made a mistake, but she's trying to fix it.
15:36You made a mistake too.
15:38You want a fresh start, I know you do.
15:40But it's going to take all of us, yeah?
15:43We've got to let go of the past.
15:46I want a family.
15:47I want Knox to have more than just me, but it always ends up the same.
15:51Not this time.
15:52I want to believe you.
15:53You can.
15:54I love you.
15:56I love Knox.
15:58You're my family.
16:01Please, Cassie, can we give this a chance?
16:05Okay.
16:06Great.
16:09Can I get a hug?
16:16I'd better check on Knox.
16:21Thank you.
16:47Hey.
16:48Hey.
16:49How's Abe doing?
16:50I don't know.
16:51I thought you were going to go see him, weren't you?
16:53I couldn't go inside.
16:54I just stood outside.
16:59Want another?
17:01You're not helping.
17:04I thought I did the right thing.
17:06What do you mean?
17:07Revealing Olin.
17:09Right, fronting up about what he did.
17:11I thought it might help someone else.
17:13It did.
17:14It didn't help Abe.
17:15It just brought it all back for him.
17:17You don't know that Olin abused him.
17:18He tried to end his life.
17:20Twice.
17:21That's not your fault.
17:24You should go.
17:25I'm in bad company.
17:28Excuse me.
17:29Whiskey, neat, please.
17:32I can't come to the bar and not have a drink.
17:35I'm sorry.
17:38I can't come to the bar and not have a drink.
17:42Drew says sorry for being a dick in surgery.
17:47You okay?
17:48Yeah, I'm fine.
17:50Do you think he's okay?
17:52He could be better.
17:54But right now, I'm more worried about you.
18:01I thought I was over it.
18:03I don't know what to do.
18:05You need to stay here and have a drink with me.
18:07Abe needs me.
18:08Abe has people helping him.
18:10But you need to look after yourself.
18:12I just want to forget.
18:14Well, I can help you with that.
18:24You ready to go?
18:25I am not taking no for an answer.
18:28Abe Murphy.
18:29Did you know it was a suicide attempt?
18:31Well, that's what Billy thinks.
18:33I guess we won't know for sure until he wakes up.
18:35Owen was his coach.
18:37Poor guy.
18:39Well, hopefully he can realize there's another way.
18:43Maybe.
18:45Look, why don't we go out for dinner tonight?
18:48I've talked to Lila.
18:49She can get the kids to bed.
18:51We can have a date night.
18:52It's been a long day.
18:54How about takeaways in front of the telly?
18:56It's hardly worth it on our relationship.
18:58Not tonight.
18:59Okay, Arba?
19:00Then when?
19:02We can't make things better if you keep shutting me out.
19:05I didn't say never.
19:06I said not now.
19:08I just can't.
19:09Because of Abe?
19:10His surgery was touch and go.
19:12And I kind of had a run in with Phil.
19:14What about?
19:16Nothing really.
19:17Just my own crap.
19:19I don't know.
19:21I thought she and I were pretty good mates, but...
19:23I don't know.
19:26Dammit, my electives have all been pushed.
19:28I'm going to be here till midnight tomorrow.
19:31Well, I guess that is because of Abe.
19:33Maybe.
19:34The knock-ons of someone doing something like that.
19:38Sorry?
19:39I mean, Abe is suffering, but his actions affect so many.
19:43You mean he should have thought about my theatre schedule
19:45before he decided to top us out?
19:47No, Drew, that's not what I'm saying.
19:49Don't you get this?
19:51He's hurting so bad, he can't see that.
19:54He's in so much pain, he can't see...
19:56It's okay, it's okay.
19:57Let's just leave it.
19:58It's not okay, Harper.
19:59How could you not get something like this?
20:10Okay, kids are asleep.
20:13Everything all good?
20:15Well, we didn't throw any dishes at each other,
20:17if that's what you're asking.
20:18Damn.
20:19I was going to, but we're done.
20:21Well, I'm glad to hear it.
20:23Well, I'm going to leave it to you guys.
20:25Night.
20:26Night, Cassie.
20:28Hey, I just wanted to say thank you again for today.
20:31I know it took a lot to open up the way you did.
20:34Oh, it's overdue.
20:35I thought you made a big difference.
20:38I meant it.
20:39I love you, and I love our family,
20:41and I just want us to all get along.
20:45Yeah?
20:47That better not be work.
20:55What is it?
20:59Who's Jimmy?
21:00Jimmy?
21:02Is he a friend of yours?
21:07There is a Jimmy in shoulders, my grief group.
21:12Right, well, he's just emailed me.
21:17Why would he do that?
21:19He says I mistreat you,
21:23that I put Cassie ahead of you,
21:27that I'm unsupportive and cruel,
21:32and that Cassie is two-faced and nasty.
21:34Those are your words, apparently.
21:36What?
21:37He thinks you deserve better.
21:39What have you been saying to these people?
21:42I've confided in them, you know, some of our problems,
21:46but that's all.
21:47I don't know why he'd say that.
21:49He must have really unloaded.
21:51I didn't say anything to them that I wouldn't say to you.
21:56Right.
21:58Then why does it say that you kissed a doctor?
22:03It's right at the end, see?
22:11Who did you kiss?
22:16Tell me it wasn't true.
22:26To be continued...
