00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01Just bouncing some ideas about Maverick's case with another doctor.
00:04What, you're just stringing one along?
00:06I don't want to hurt her, Marty. I don't know what to do.
00:08Then do the right thing. Another pair of eyes on Pity's case might push things along.
00:11Purpose?
00:11Sure, lead the way.
00:13Marty loves you, but there's only so much a marriage can take.
00:15You don't have to tell me, Chris.
00:16Well, then why are you entertaining this thing with Julian?
00:23I thought you and Julian had it all covered.
00:26Yep, and then I came to my senses, and now I need you.
00:29Really?
00:30I am sorry, okay? Having your eyes over this would be extremely useful,
00:34and it was stupid of me to think otherwise.
00:36Julian's a great oncology surgeon.
00:37I know, but I want you.
00:39Well, I'm tied up now.
00:40Come on.
00:42Why exactly do you want me to take over?
00:45Because I trust you.
00:47I warned you about him.
00:48Well, nothing has changed. It's just a lot more complicated than...
00:51I'm not available anymore.
00:53We'll go on the liver resection, take two.
00:56You happy with that?
00:57Why wouldn't I be?
00:58Penny Ellis looks like the cancer is genetic on her father's side.
01:03She doesn't know that side.
01:04She managed to track down a number for her father, gave me permission to call him.
01:07She changed her mind?
01:08I talked to her. You said you weren't going to, so...
01:12I made a few calls, yeah.
01:14What did she find?
01:15An unusually high amount of family members with cancer.
01:18One of them was my patient, Penny Ellis.
01:20You can't just go around cold calling people about private patient information.
01:23Penny died last year.
01:25Anyway, I spoke to her son.
01:27He said it's Makatu.
01:28Okay, that's enough.
01:29I'm just telling you what the Fano told me.
01:32They believe there is a Makatu on the Ellis family.
01:34The whole lot have done.
01:35Yes, I know.
01:36You think I'm cursed?
01:37Of course not.
01:39Tell me what you know.
01:41Let's get you into this bed.
01:44Okay, we can talk about the surgery.
01:46Okay.
01:46One second, Betty.
01:56Pottle?
02:02Jesus, Maeve.
02:04This is boiling.
02:05What?
02:06Why didn't it boil it?
02:07It's fine.
02:08Don't worry.
02:10I'm sorry.
02:12Thanks.
02:13You know, maybe you should say sorry to Poppy, too.
02:18What for?
02:19She was right, and you were wrong.
02:22Mm-hmm.
02:25Case, you know I'm on your side, right?
02:29Really?
02:31Look, I know you've got a lot going on.
02:34I just think...
02:36I don't know.
02:37I've got a lot going on, too.
02:39You do.
02:40You do, and I'm...
02:42I'm sorry.
02:45For what?
02:46For not copying properly.
02:48They're putting too much on you.
02:51Thanks.
02:52How can I help?
02:54Just focus on Knox.
02:56Let's just both focus on Knox and keep it together for him.
03:07Such a beautiful service.
03:11Short.
03:12Just like you wanted, remember?
03:15Your way out of it was beautiful.
03:17Boom.
03:18Thanks.
03:19I hope you liked it wherever he is.
03:21Almost choked to my own tears.
03:22It was so gorgeous.
03:23I wish I could sing like that.
03:25I'm really sorry.
03:25I couldn't be cut a mirror to camp.
03:27She should have been there.
03:28She didn't know him.
03:31Yeah.
03:33But she should have.
03:36Sorry.
03:37Hey.
03:38Don't apologize.
03:39Today is the day to cry it out.
03:40I don't think everyone was one.
03:43We're going to stay in touch.
03:44Okay?
03:45Are you really going back to work now?
03:47Yeah.
03:47Yep.
03:48I'll keep an eye on him.
03:49Don't worry.
03:49I love you, Bond.
03:56Don't forget it.
03:57Yeah, you too.
03:58Well, that was progress.
04:08You two have been hugged.
04:09Well, he took my father dying.
04:11Don't worry.
04:12Not everyone's a crime.
04:13Listen, Sage, I wanted to say thank you for pulling all that together.
04:17I know that I was kind of difficult.
04:20You?
04:21Difficult?
04:21Never.
04:22Listen, um, you know, if anything was to happen to me, I want you to know that, um, well,
04:31you know, that I, uh, that you love me.
04:35Well, I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
04:37That's why I'll say it for you.
04:39And you know what, Emmett?
04:42I love you too.
04:44Jesus.
04:45I don't think a reprimand is needed.
04:48Jane, whatever the line.
04:50Okay, spill the tea, guys.
04:51What did you do this time?
04:53She did some research on family history.
04:55Basics, really.
04:56What is wrong with you?
04:57I don't see the problem.
04:59Makatu, really?
05:00Wait, hold up.
05:01What makatu?
05:02Nothing a kata care from the koumatsu won't fix.
05:05Yeah, you don't believe that.
05:06Whatever makes the patient happy.
05:08No, we deal with science.
05:10Nothing more.
05:11I'm with Julian.
05:12If the patient needs some spiritual comfort, then I say give it up.
05:17She's going to need it.
05:18Yeah, that is impossible.
05:20What's up?
05:21It's not just the liver.
05:23It's everywhere.
05:25I know.
05:27Where do you want to start?
05:29If it's going to cause hemorrhaging, then maybe we should close up.
05:33How's her vitals?
05:34Ah, yes, she's all good.
05:35BP's 110 over 70.
05:37Then let's give it a shot.
05:39That's not going to save her life, though, is it?
05:40I thought it was possible, but maybe it was just wishful thinking.
05:44Are you ready?
05:45To tell her she's riddled with cancer, no.
05:49Then let's keep going.
05:50Resect what we can, safely.
05:52And if we cause any extra damage?
05:54We won't.
05:55We can only try to reduce the tumour burden.
05:58Give him more time.
05:59Try to take some of her pain away.
06:01So would you like the sutures to close, or...?
06:04No.
06:05Let's continue.
06:06So, what have we got?
06:12Patient with a history of type 1 diabetes, presenting with unexplained hypoglycemia with a sugar of 29.
06:17Okay, let's get you some short-acting insulin while we figure out what's driving this.
06:21Maeve?
06:23What?
06:24Ten of short-acting insulin, please?
06:25Yeah, I've done that already.
06:27You could have said.
06:29Can she be someone else's problem today?
06:31No.
06:32I'm the doctor you've got.
06:33Yeah?
06:34Well, I want someone else.
06:35Too bad.
06:36Don't be difficult.
06:38Absolutely not.
06:40I will not be spoken to like that, okay?
06:42Ever.
06:42Calm down.
06:44I am calm.
06:45I just refuse to be spoken to like that.
06:47Right, what's the problem?
06:47She's being rude.
06:49Sorry about this.
06:51Full set of vitals, please, Sage.
06:57Mullins, get your shit together.
06:59We're all sick to death of you scrapping.
07:01That's not just me, Emmett.
07:02Walk it off.
07:04Seriously?
07:05Seriously.
07:12Don't let her get to you.
07:14Her bark is worse than her bite.
07:18Look, you're not going to be betraying your colleagues.
07:20I just want some intel.
07:21He's my boyfriend.
07:21There's nothing wrong with me knowing.
07:24Just a bad time?
07:26Just typical, clear behaviour.
07:27You know, I've been over backwards to get her leave for a Fiji holiday,
07:31and she can't even repay me with a bit of eavesdropping.
07:34Is that the point you and Nas have gotten to?
07:36What do you mean?
07:37Me and Nas are great.
07:38Well, I just don't want to see you get hurt.
07:41Did he say something?
07:43No.
07:44I just feel like...
07:45You just...
07:45What?
07:47Marty, you just felt like freaking me out for no reason?
07:49No, it's not for no reason.
07:51Just because you broke my heart doesn't mean he's going to.
07:54I've never lied to you.
07:56You have no right.
07:58No, I know that.
07:59I know, and I'm sorry.
08:00I just...
08:01I can't help it.
08:02Just concentrate on yourself.
08:04Look, we've been through this.
08:05Julian...
08:05What?
08:07That you're too stupid to see what everyone can see?
08:09Marty, you're an embarrassment.
08:10I am embarrassed for you.
08:12I really am.
08:14Just stay out of my relationship, and I'll stay out of yours.
08:21Hi.
08:24How are you feeling?
08:26Okay.
08:27I think.
08:29Relieved.
08:31What?
08:33Unfortunately, pity.
08:34The surgery didn't go as well as we'd hoped.
08:36What do you mean?
08:37We couldn't remove the tissue without risking hemorrhage.
08:40We did what we could.
08:42So I still have cancer?
08:45Yes, I'm sorry.
08:48We won't give up?
08:51Maybe it's the mark or two.
08:54No, don't talk like that.
08:55It's not that.
08:56You know what they said?
08:58I'm cursed, just like my whole family, apparently.
09:01Mm-mm.
09:01No such thing.
09:02We can still fight this cancer.
09:04How?
09:04Chemo, radiotherapy, if you want.
09:07There's no guarantees, though.
09:08I want to call my mum.
09:12All right.
09:20Hey.
09:23You can't do that to her.
09:25What?
09:25Shut her down.
09:26If she wants to talk about wider things, then let her.
09:28Oh, I can't keep up with you.
09:29What?
09:30When you first get here, you've been to your mother now.
09:32This is patient-centered care.
09:34Oh, give me a break.
09:36Why does it bug you so much?
09:38Medical?
09:39Yes.
09:39Curses?
09:40No, let's not waste our time.
09:42Tell me.
09:42Whatever it is, I...
09:44I won't judge.
09:52How was it?
09:54Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
09:57I'll find Jean.
09:58See if she's on to something with that genetics theory.
10:02Tell me something good that you and Nazar got something with Maverick.
10:06Um, yeah, I don't think Nazar wants to see me today.
10:09Why, what happened?
10:11Maddie.
10:12Don't, okay?
10:13I was just trying to look out for my friend.
10:15Nazar is a friend.
10:17Yeah, sure.
10:17They both are, and they're heading for implosion,
10:19so I can't just stand by and let it happen.
10:21That's exactly what you meant to do.
10:31Hey, Marlinson.
10:34You want to tell me what that was all about?
10:36Nothing.
10:38You know, I got whiplash.
10:39You're 80% hellhound, 20% ice cream sundae these days.
10:43Oh, I'm sorry.
10:43I'm not sweet enough for you.
10:47Is it Nicole?
10:48No.
10:50Jesus, no.
10:51Not everything is about Nick all the time.
10:54You know, just because you're breathing and feeling an actual human emotion for the first time in about a decade
10:58doesn't make you Yoda all of a sudden.
11:03I'm tired.
11:05Yeah, I'm tired, too.
11:08Yeah.
11:08I'm tired.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:15You did ask me all this morning, and I didn't...
11:17No, I can't wait.
11:19Well, it can't be easy.
11:20No.
11:22No, it's not easy.
11:23You know what would make it easier?
11:27At least if you stop taking your problems out on the rest of my team.
11:39Hi.
11:40Hi.
11:40Any updates?
11:45There has to be something else we can do.
11:46I just...
11:47Can't see it yet.
11:49You'll figure it out.
11:52I was going to come find you.
11:53I'll fall.
11:55No.
11:57To make this horrible distance between us go away?
11:59Something along those lines.
12:00I don't know what you're talking about.
12:05I've done that thing that you really hate.
12:08Been so deeply in this case that I couldn't see anything else.
12:11It's fine.
12:14I know it's not.
12:16It's just this kid.
12:18I don't...
12:18I can't let him...
12:20Sorry, it's just...
12:23He fought his way into this world with me helping him.
12:27Against the odds, and here he is.
12:31When I see him, I see this...
12:32I see this fighter, and...
12:34I can't let him down.
12:38Even if I feel you're slipping away because of it.
12:42Well, I mean, I'm not going anywhere.
12:44But I don't really know where I fit into all of this.
12:48I do.
12:50Where?
12:51Right at the centre.
12:58Where's my hypoglycemic guy?
13:01Firstly, he has a name.
13:02And secondly, he's in the room where I put him.
13:03Why didn't you tell me?
13:04Because you saw me do it.
13:07No, I didn't.
13:08Anyway, I've just given him a short-acting insulin.
13:11Didn't you already do that?
13:12No.
13:13I swear it.
13:14Can I just check his chart?
13:16Sure.
13:19This doesn't make sense.
13:21Poppy, I know you don't trust me, but I'm not doing this with you.
13:24Okay?
13:24I just want to get through today.
13:26As a doctor...
13:27If you play the I'm a doctor card on me one more time, it's not going to end well for you.
13:30Well, you barely acknowledge my presence, so what am I supposed to do?
13:33They're nice, Poppy.
13:34I'm really trying here.
13:35This is for the patient's benefit.
13:37Well, you can go and check on him if you like.
13:39He's fine.
13:40And we do have more important things to be doing than playing patient tag.
13:43I might as well be invisible.
13:45But you don't listen to anyone, do you?
13:47Just not today, Poppy.
13:49Maeve.
13:52Hey, hey, hey, absolutely not.
13:54No, she's in no state to hear you ramble on.
13:56She wants to see me.
13:58Really?
13:59I check for myself.
13:59It seems like Jez's theory might be right.
14:02I think all the geneticists don't spook her.
14:04She might have information we need.
14:05Like what?
14:06She doesn't even know that side of her family.
14:07I want to talk to her mum, see what she knows.
14:10I don't like it.
14:11We need to figure this out.
14:13She could save lives.
14:14Stop others in her family from going through this nightmare.
14:16Stress her out and you are gone.
14:25Ready to tell me it?
14:28I just don't like moving away from reality, that's all.
14:32I get it.
14:34When you feel your fate's already been decided and there's nothing you can do about it.
14:39It's scary.
14:41You know what about?
14:43Your heart.
14:44The donor.
14:46You knew him, yeah?
14:50I know I seem so rational, but...
14:53You think his family would have muck or two on you?
14:59No.
15:00No, no, no.
15:00I know they're silly.
15:02It's not silly.
15:03No, don't you.
15:03We'll feed the tiny baby noyesta that lives in my brain.
15:05That sounds like a medical issue.
15:07Yes.
15:07Look, you know you can talk to me about this.
15:12About any of this stuff.
15:14I'm here.
15:19Sorry.
15:21I...
15:21I'm sorry.
15:22Jesus Christ.
15:38What's happened?
15:39His hypoglycemic is 1.9.
15:43I'm drawing up Dextrose.
15:44Out of the way.
15:50I'm not losing you, mate.
15:52Not today.
15:56Come on.
15:57Somebody better have a bloody good explanation for this.
16:09I don't...
16:10I messed up.
16:12I doubled-dosed the insulin.
16:14It was my fault.
16:16This patient could have died.
16:19Yeah, I know.
16:20How long have you been a nurse?
16:22I know.
16:24A mistake.
16:25That basic.
16:26Honestly, I could have been...
16:27If Poppy hadn't been here, you'd be...
16:28Emmett, I know.
16:31You need to get out.
16:33Just please let me fix it.
16:35No, Maeve.
16:36Get out.
16:39I'm sorry.
16:46You were good?
16:47Yeah.
16:48Kiva wanted Nas to read to him tonight.
16:49So I had to break it to him that he was stuck with me.
16:53Cheeky.
16:56Is?
16:58Mm-hmm.
16:58Are we okay?
17:00Why wouldn't we be?
17:02Well, I don't know.
17:03It's just today with Monique...
17:04Yeah, I, um...
17:05I'm sorry for snapping.
17:08I just don't want to see her get messed around.
17:11Definitely.
17:14Hey, am I missing something?
17:17Uh, it's...
17:18It's nothing.
17:19Well, clearly it is, because you can't look at me.
17:23Well, it's not a big deal.
17:26And I...
17:27I mean, it changes nothing.
17:30Just tell me.
17:31Uh, we've been working closely together on this case, and it's probably sharing family history or the time spent together.
17:42Just say it.
17:43There's an attraction.
17:44There's an attraction.
17:46Between me and Julian.
17:49I don't want to do anything, but there was a moment.
17:52Okay.
17:53Okay.
17:54Okay.
