Transcript

00:00Previously on Shortland Street.

00:02Me and your mum, we're not together anymore, so I'm just going to be living somewhere else.

00:05I don't want you to go.

00:07You missed dinner and wedding planning to cover for Marty.

00:10But Marty's here!

00:11I got caught up!

00:12No, you are only half in this.

00:14I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.

00:24Hey.

00:26I thought you might have scarpered.

00:28To where? My empty house.

00:31Come to Molly's with me.

00:33Come on, help me raise the average age.

00:36Why is this so hard?

00:40We're all just winging it.

00:43Maybe it's time you took a break from Cassie.

00:47I feel like now it's not the right time to do that.

00:50I'll lose her forever.

00:52Yeah, but you're overprotecting her. She's got to feel it.

00:55Well, I can't help it.

00:56She's been through so much.

00:58Now she's working in this place, which is practically a hotbed of trauma.

01:01Look, I don't know, mate.

01:03You're going to have to cut the apron strings at some point.

01:05I mean, she's an adult.

01:06She's got her own thoughts, feelings, opinions.

01:10And to be honest, if she's getting her opinions from you,

01:12she's probably doing all right.

01:14Now come on, hey, come on.

01:15My shout, eh?

01:16Maybe later.

01:25Hey.

01:26Something had to find you.

01:27I'm just going.

01:29To see Justine.

01:30I saw Justine.

01:33Cassie, you know you're supposed to be keeping your distance.

01:35Because her weirdo mum asked.

01:37Justine just wanted to talk to me.

01:39Okay, well, did Mindy see you?

01:40No.

01:41I'm not an idiot.

01:42Mindy was getting dinner.

01:44Cassie, I don't...

01:44I don't think you're an idiot.

01:46Could have fooled me.

01:48Cassie, I'm serious.

01:50Tell me what you think.

01:52I'm listening.

01:53Really?

01:54Really.

01:55I'm not a nurse.

01:57Not yet.

02:02She's scared.

02:04Mindy keeps shutting her up.

02:05You don't know Brightshine like I do.

02:07They get to you and mess you up.

02:09Make you not trust your own eyes and ears.

02:11Not trust the truth.

02:12So what is the truth?

02:14I don't know.

02:15I was trying to think back to what they were like

02:17when I was still at church,

02:18but I can hardly remember Justine.

02:20She was younger and quiet,

02:22and I just didn't pay attention.

02:24And Mindy?

02:25Honestly, all the adults were the same.

02:29Pious.

02:30Righteous.

02:31Insane.

02:32Berry.

02:33Please, help her.

02:40Seriously.

02:41Albany's getting better by the day.

02:42Because of all your hard work.

02:44And the magic touch of a gifted fishing.

02:47Who said it's me?

02:48I'll be back doing the river dance in no time.

02:49But you give a good flat leg.

02:51Put him to shame.

02:52What?

02:56Nothing.

02:57Nice to see you with a spring in your step.

02:59That'll be Tova.

03:00Indeed.

03:01She's good.

03:03Yeah, from what I can see,

03:04very kind,

03:05very intelligent.

03:06Very funny.

03:07And dare I say it,

03:07very attractive.

03:09Hey,

03:10mind out of the gutter, please, Warner.

03:11Oh, true.

03:12It's okay.

03:13It's too soon.

03:15Well,

03:15only you can be the judge of that.

03:17You loved Harper

03:18with all your heart.

03:20Life is for the living.

03:23Ow.

03:23Thank you for taking us seriously.

03:25Tazlyn,

03:26I'm just going to feel your stomach, okay?

03:28Oh, please, darling.

03:30Where is he?

03:31Who?

03:31No one.

03:32Tazzy.

03:33My cat.

03:33He's only little.

03:34He'll get lost.

03:35Tazzy died, honey.

03:36Remember?

03:37Give him back to me.

03:38I don't have him, darling.

03:39Why are you against me?

03:40No one is against you, honey.

03:42You are safe.

03:43Get away from me.

03:46Mindy.

03:49How long has she been like this?

03:51We're sorting it.

03:52Since her stomach pain started?

03:53The judge are helping.

03:55Her hallucinations.

03:55Tazzy.

03:58I don't want her in here.

03:59I told you.

04:00Tazzy,

04:01help me.

04:02It's okay, Tazlyn.

04:03You stay out.

04:05Mindy.

04:07Is it okay if I sit with you?

04:12I've got him.

04:13Hey, it's all right.

04:14It's okay.

04:15We'll just...

04:16We'll just talk.

04:24How long has she been having these episodes?

04:28She's been hallucinating.

04:31Wait, does she always get this distressed?

04:33I just want you to sort her pain.

04:36She has these cramps and you've done nothing.

04:38She has a lot going on, Mindy.

04:40I mean, you can see that, right?

04:43We're sorting that.

04:45The church is sorting that.

04:47And I don't want that girl in there with her.

04:49Well, she's really calm right now.

04:51And that's because of Cassie.

04:53Have you considered that Jaiselyn's pain,

04:57that her cramps might be psychosomatic?

05:00Oh, you don't know what you're talking about.

05:02How long has she been seeing things?

05:06You're here to sort her stomach.

05:08Her soul is being guided by the church.

05:11Yep, and I understand that that might bring you comfort.

05:14But Brightshine can't fix what's happening.

05:16She's not herself.

05:18She's not well.

05:19We're helping her.

05:20Praying for her.

05:21The church is...

05:22The church on its own is not working, okay?

05:23Jaiselyn is suffering.

05:25But you can help her.

05:27I'd like to bring in psych services.

05:29No!

05:29I know it's not easy.

05:31I know it doesn't always feel like the right way to do things.

05:33But when it's your kid,

05:35and when it's someone you love,

05:37you have to try everything.

05:39Okay?

05:40So please, Mindy, let them in.

05:42I promise things will get easier.

05:44We need to get some sleep.

06:02How grim is this?

06:03Your finger?

06:05A sad, lonely, naked ring finger.

06:08What have I done?

06:09Wait, did you lose it already?

06:10I lost it big time.

06:13Oh, at Nars?

06:14Right.

06:15I mean, you did storm out of mollies like a woman on a mission, so...

06:17Oh, kill me, Logan.

06:19Just kill me.

06:22And that guy.

06:24What?

06:25You!

06:26Constantly nicking his arm off me

06:28to deal with your non-stop Esther nonsense.

06:30Can you not?

06:31By all means.

06:32Carry on.

06:32Carry on with that nonsense.

06:34Hey, are the kids okay?

06:36Seriously?

06:37I'm worried about them.

06:38I know last night was rough.

06:40Yeah, well, that's on you for dropping it on them like that.

06:42Well, it's not the way I wanted it to happen.

06:44Well, then why drag them into it?

06:46Because they have to know.

06:48No.

06:49No, you broke our marriage and the kids.

06:51I broke our marriage.

06:53I'm the one who's been trying to save us and protect the kids.

06:56I will try and talk to them again today.

06:58Like hell you will.

06:59You've already done enough damage.

07:00So what, you're just going to block me from the kids?

07:02Yes, yes.

07:02And you can stay the hell away from me too.

07:09I don't even know if she'll let me in there.

07:11I'll make sure she does.

07:12None of this could be possible without you.

07:15You know, Mum sent me to counselling once

07:17to save me from my impure thoughts.

07:19I sat with this elder, this old guy,

07:23and he basically just told me that I was

07:25bad for questioning and dirty for wondering.

07:29Honey, I am so sorry.

07:31I believed him too.

07:33That I was evil.

07:35Hey, you are anything but.

07:38Any sleep last night?

07:50She said she won't come home.

07:52And now she won't talk to me.

07:54Hey, Jaslyn.

07:55Get away from me.

07:58Mindy Evans speaking to psych services.

08:01I told you I don't want them.

08:03You know, when I was at Brightshine,

08:05I had community.

08:06Mindy, I had love, but

08:08that didn't stop me from feeling scared.

08:12I felt scared a lot.

08:13This isn't about you.

08:15I couldn't have gotten through

08:17what I got through without help.

08:18Without prayer.

08:19You know, sometimes,

08:21sometimes God works in mysterious ways, Mindy.

08:23You know, when I was at the church,

08:25I prayed and prayed and prayed

08:28to see the light, to see the truth.

08:30You left.

08:33I found my truth.

08:36Do you think that maybe God

08:40sent you to us for a reason?

08:44That we could be the answer to your prayers?

08:45Hey, I hope you get this message.

08:52No change overnight.

08:54Henry's still sedated and fighting the infection

08:55as best he can.

08:57But he needs all the help he can get right now.

08:59Like having his dad with him.

09:01I hope to see you here soon.

09:04You okay?

09:04No.

09:06I've got a nine-year-old in intensive care

09:07and his only parent is not answering the damn phone.

09:10That's awful.

09:10He said he'd be here hours ago.

09:12But he wasn't coping last night, I could tell.

09:15But he couldn't...

09:16He wouldn't just abandon his own kid, right?

09:19Well, you would certainly hope not.

09:22But I was actually checking if you were okay

09:23after that ugly scene with Esther.

09:26Maybe she's right.

09:27I am a crap dad, too.

09:29Mindy, she did not mean that.

09:31Look, you know that, right?

09:34He's a poor kid.

09:35Look at him.

09:35I haven't got anyone else I can contact.

09:39I don't know what to do.

09:50And we can go over the paperwork together.

09:53Sounds good.

09:54Hi.

09:55Oh, hi.

09:56Could I catch up with you soon?

09:57Sure.

09:58What's up?

09:59I'm grateful, actually.

10:01Sanders doesn't seem to be a huge fan of teeth brushing.

10:04Yeah, of course.

10:05Uh, hey, listen.

10:07I was, um...

10:09Just kind of...

10:11Wondering if...

10:12Maybe, you know, you'd...

10:15Like to hear what you're going to say next?

10:19Yeah, I would.

10:20Uh, sorry.

10:21Yeah, um...

10:22If you might like me to send you this article

10:24about using AI algorithms

10:26to improve efficiency with knee replacements?

10:30Well, say what you like about efficiency,

10:32but give my job to a robot

10:33and I'm going to throw you under the sea.

10:35Oh, well, I haven't seen that, then.

10:38Was that all?

10:40Yeah.

10:42Okay, cool.

10:43I'll go catch up with Sanders.

10:46Oh, Tola.

10:48Yeah.

10:50Sanders.

10:50Thanks.

10:52Thanks.

10:52You just...

10:54Offered her breathments.

10:57It wasn't for her...

10:58I'm sensing a vibe.

11:00It's...

11:00Right?

11:02Don't judge me.

11:04Madam, not.

11:05I think you guys would be good for each other.

11:06Too soon.

11:08You reckon?

11:09You seem kind already.

11:10Could work on your game a bit, but...

11:12I feel like an arsehole, okay?

11:14Plus, everyone else here would think the same thing.

11:16Hey, you deserve to be happy.

11:18Don't worry about what other people think.

11:19What do you think?

11:20Well, you're okay care about what some people think.

11:23Me and you.

11:24If you feel ready, then go for it.

11:27Don't judge yourself.

11:40Waiting for my reply.

11:41So you got my messages?

11:43Yeah.

11:44Waiting to talk.

11:45Waiting for the bit.

11:46For me?

11:47After last night.

11:49Why, you were calling the shots last night?

11:52Don't really cook it.

11:54By giving you the ring back.

11:55Oh, you mean a...

11:58This ring.

12:02What are you going to do?

12:04Like, melt it down into a pendant with, like...

12:07Don't listen to my neck.

12:09I think it works better as a ring, don't you?

12:12If it still fits.

12:16Oh, it fits!

12:18I'm so sorry I let the dumb wedding planning get in the way.

12:27I've been thinking about that.

12:29You're going to get on board?

12:30I think you should do it.

12:33Well, I mean, it kind of was what we were fighting about.

12:37Look, I know you've been juggling a whole lot of elements from my culture, and that's not easy.

12:42But it's important.

12:44I think what's important is giving you the wedding that you want.

12:48I know you've got mood boards and magazines.

12:51You would have had a whole bunch of stuff planned out before I even came on the scene.

12:55You make me sound like a psycho.

12:57I don't think you're a psycho.

12:59But I do think it would be a little bit weird if the wedding that you dreamed of as a kid had a whole lot of Pakistan sprinkled on it.

13:06Unless, you know, that's what you're into.

13:08Well, I am.

13:09Now.

13:11Wow.

13:12Honestly, Monique, I love how committed you've been to incorporating things, but I say let's just do it.

13:19You know, you can throw a bouquet to your bridesmaids, and I'll find a best man.

13:23Zahid, obviously.

13:24And we can have funny speeches, and our first dance can turn into a mob.

13:32A flash mob?

13:33Yeah, yeah, that's it.

13:35Oh, yeah, I think the world collectively moved on from that.

13:39Okay, okay, look.

13:40Whatever you want, you call the shots.

13:43Okay.

13:45I just, I don't want to exclude your culture because it's a part of you, and...

13:50We'll sort all that out later.

13:51We'll do a different thing, a separate thing.

13:54For now, let's make young Monique's dream wedding a reality.

13:58Really?

13:59Really.

14:00Really?

14:01Really.

14:08Good work in there, Tim.

14:10We'll debrief in about ten minutes.

14:13Hey.

14:14You okay?

14:16Not really.

14:17That was quite the showdown with Marty.

14:19Yeah, I may have lost it.

14:20Sorry, it won't happen again.

14:22So what's going on?

14:23I don't really want to talk about it with you.

14:26Okay.

14:27That's fine.

14:27But you'll talk to me about the expansion, right?

14:30Pardon?

14:30I sent through the proposals for hospital expansion.

14:33I'd like your thoughts.

14:34Just a little business talk, not a big deal.

14:36Sure.

14:36Tonight?

14:38Okay.

14:39Drinks at Molly's.

14:39Professionals get thirsty too, Esther.

14:43Of course they do.

14:46See you there.

14:47I hate it when Chris Warner's right.

14:54Isn't he always?

14:55Well, he was full head in the sand over his evil sworn Harry.

14:58But he was pretty spot on about old mate.

15:01Oh, are you blushing?

15:03Top of your head's gone pink.

15:05Get out of it.

15:06You're going to try again though, eh?

15:07Actually follow through this time, because it's obvious to overlook you too.

15:11Maybe.

15:13You know she'd want you to be happy.

15:17Not stuck here with me.

15:19What's wrong with this?

15:21Well, yeah, but I bet you'd rather be getting cosy with Tova.

15:24Well, if I'm too much of a wimp to do anything about it then.

15:27You just need to find the right time.

15:34Hey.

15:36Hi.

15:37Thanks to see you again.

15:38I was just picking up some takeaways.

15:40I was just leaving.

15:41I didn't know that about you.

15:49The counselling?

15:49Any of it.

15:51But I want to.

15:53Know you.

15:57I think Jessen's going to be okay.

16:00Thanks to you.

16:01You were great with her.

16:02You don't have to say that.

16:04I do.

16:05I've been such a dick to you.

16:07Well, I'm serious.

16:09I'm supposed to be an adult.

16:12But I let things get on top of me, and then suddenly I'm shooting my mouth off, saying

16:17stuff I don't even mean.

16:18But I mean this, Cass.

16:21I love you.

16:24I know you never wanted to be my mum.

16:27That's not true.

16:28But, you know, Wilder, he always said that you were someone who was just always there.

16:35And he's right.

16:36You are always there, no matter what.

16:39No, honey, I haven't been.

16:40You have.

16:41You know, you, on your worst days, is better than most people on their best.

16:46And I guess I want to be a nurse, because I just want to be like you.

16:53And I'm really sorry if I'm a disappointment.

16:55No, honey, you are not a disappointment.

16:59I get it.

16:59You know, me and Knox were just here, in your life, and you didn't ask for us.

17:03Cassie, I would ask for you, over and over again.

17:09You're like the closest thing I've ever had to what I think a mum should be.

17:13I don't want to lose you.

17:15Well, you've tried.

17:16And you can't.

17:18You know, but I'm messy.

17:19I am a lot, and, you know, I can't promise that I'm not going to screw up again.

17:27But please don't, don't let me go.

17:29No, Goose.

17:30Never.

17:33Never, ever.

17:35I'm going to be here for you no matter what.

17:37Okay.

17:37Nice of you to show up.

17:50How is he?

17:52He's breathing on his own.

17:54He's sleeping now, but he's going to beat the meningitis.

18:00I guess he didn't need me after all.

18:02So what happened?

18:04I don't know.

18:05I panicked.

18:08Right.

18:09Well, at least you came back.

18:11I couldn't.

18:12I just needed a minute.

18:16I'm not going to abandon him.

18:18Of course not.

18:19You go be with your boy.

18:29Ugh, for my heart, eh?

18:31Why is he here?

18:32No, but those two are.

18:34Oh, God, I feel sick.

18:35Seriously.

18:36I nearly derailed our wedding with my imaginary problems.

18:40You've got Esther.

18:40She's going to be in town with that guy.

18:42They're just having a work meeting.

18:44Wake up and smell the betrayal.

18:45You've been too nice.

18:47Anyway, can you order me a wine?

18:49I'm 80% sure I'm not going to throw it up.

18:52Hey.

18:54Hi.

18:54Hello.

18:56Answer that, you beautiful weirdo.

18:58I'm going to a lot.

18:59I'm going to call you for a while.

19:01Assalamualaikum, Ami Ji.

19:04I'll call you for a moment.

19:05I'll leave with you for a moment.

19:09Yes, Ami.

19:10I know that you don't like this.

19:11I don't like this.

19:12But I'll tell you before.

19:14It's my pleasure.

19:17No.

19:17Yeah, the rest of the rest were good. I was just waiting for my work.

19:21And, alhamdulillah, your life is over.

19:24Okay, I'll call you later.

19:27Laphis.

19:30How'd they take it?

19:34They'll come round.

19:39Okay, no, this is not he views me.

19:42Why are you looking at him?

19:44Well, he is mad as his friend.

19:46And everyone's looking at us.

19:48We're colleagues. Talking business. What's the big deal?

19:51Don't play dumb, Julian.

19:53Maybe he needs to get away. Go visit your uncle.

19:56TK.

19:57How's he doing? Can't imagine it would have been an easy shift.

20:00Yeah, from the hot seat to the wops.

20:02Big change.

20:03I try to keep him updated for what's happening with the hospital.

20:07You know, keep him in the loop.

20:09Bit of delicate ego handling, I'm sure.

20:12Tricky business sometimes. Keeping everyone in the whanau happy.

20:16So you're that too. The peacemaker.

20:19Well, I guess there's not as much as you are.

20:21But yeah.

20:22Keeping track of what aunties have beef.

20:25Which cousin needs to be reined in.

20:27Who's the current golden child.

20:28It's gotta be you, right?

20:29Oh, there are a few of us hovering around the top.

20:31And you're too nice to smack talk behind anyone's back.

20:34Mostly.

20:35You shouldn't hold yourself back, Esther.

20:37Do you think that's what I'm doing?

20:38I just want to know what you want.

20:41Don't.

20:43I just meant the tides out.

20:45What do you want? The same again?

20:50While I'm going, you can think if there's anything else.

20:57Sorry to keep you so late.

20:58No worries.

20:59Tonight's been really nice.

21:07Hey, thank Billy.

21:08It all picked up once C ditched me.

21:10That was a good move.

21:11I will show you.

21:13You were not about to say,

21:15I'll show you a good move, were you?

21:17I started off with absolutely no idea where that was going.

21:21Just be straight in the bin. I'm so sorry.

21:23You're pretty rusty with this whole dating thing.

21:25I wish I could say the same about you.

21:27Oh, my Uber's nearly here.

21:31I think you drove here.

21:32Oh, then I had a few wines.
