Original subtitles

Yeah, I got that. Thank you.

Vincent, MRU's needed - industrial kitchen accident.

That's the address. One casualty.

You too, Cate.

Sure thing, boss.

I'll take that. Who are they for?

Great. Mrs Jenkins. She's in Bed 4. Thanks, Dan.

Jack, Medical Response Unit's being mobilised.

All yours.

Could someone chase up Mr Lincoln's troponin?

The cardiologist wants the results paged to him.

Yeah, not a problem. Come on, come on. Let's go.

Bit early for a morning tea, isn't it?

Frank!

Looking good, Dr Campion.

Come on, guys - MRU.

Sure. We're coming.

Hey, you hanging around?

No, no. Just visiting.

Oh, yeah. Course you are.

And the waiting room is six hours now.

Right. I'll get on to the Bed Manager.

Can we get some patients moving, please?

I'll do my best.

Need a hand? Hey, Frank. How are you?

Pretty damn fine, thanks, Dan.

Please tell me you're not working?

No, but if my blood tests are okay, I'll be back Monday.

Great.

That's great news, Frank.

Thanks, Ne... Um...

Hello there.

MAN: Get me out!

MAN: It's alright. The medical team is here now.

(continues screaming)

What have we got?

(screams) Help me, please!

This is Tim.

Okay, Tim. My name's Dr Hughes. This is Cate and Dr Quade.

Tim, how are you holding up?

Can you get me out?

That's the plan, but you need to stay calm and keep this mask on.

(screams in agony)

How long's he been like this?

Approximately 25 minutes now. Rescue's been notified.

You two, onions. You, dishes. Two hours till opening.

That's the boss and chef.

Idiot. Always clowning about.

How many times have I got to tell you?

Hey, Mr, um... Klaus.

Klaus. We've got this covered. Thanks.

Pull him from the mincer and get him out of the kitchen.

Tim, focus on me. Slow your breathing down.

That's right.

IV Hartmann's running.

He's had 10 of IV max and 10 of morph in 2.5 increments.

We're having trouble controlling his pain.

Obs?

BP's 140 systolic, pulse 115, resps 28. 02 sats are 99%.

It's bad, isn't it? It's really bad.

You just let us assess the situation, okay?

Stupid machine got jammed. I just put my hand in.

Who's stupid? The machine didn't jump up and grab your hand.

Vincent!

Don't let him move! Tony, get the trolley.

Come on, Tim. Stay with us, mate.

Hurry, guys.

You've known about this deadline for three weeks.

You can't expect me...

It's one more day.

You've already had an extension because of your extra workload here.

No-one else has, so...

I had the proposal done. I just don't know what's happened to it.

Do you actually want this fellowship?

Of course I do. I just need 24 hours to find it.

I think we've both overestimated your ability to complete it.

Are you picking on my staff again?

YOUR staff, Frank?

In order for them to be your staff, you need to be at work.

It's alright, Frank. I've got this. Yes, I can see that.

She did a damn fine job when I was sick, so leave her alone.

And you know this...how?

Because I know my staff.

Alright, then. Tell me why Deanna Richardson resigned.

Yes, that's a bit of a mystery, isn't it?

You know, you ought to take some things seriously, Frank.

She might have gone, but her sexual harassment allegation remains.

I'm fine, by the way. Thanks for asking.

Dog ate your homework, hey?

No, Deanna Richardson did. No other explanation.

It was on your desk, Frank.

Do you want the day off?

I can't leave the department understaffed.

Newell will just have to...wait.

Is this the patient from Rehab? DAN: Yep.

Acute 3, thank you. Where am I?

It's okay, mate. You've fallen. You're in hospital.

Well, if I can help...

No, just take care of you.

Right. What have we got?

Matt Berkley. Overbalanced during a rehab physio session.

Lost consciousness for about 20 seconds.

On my count. One, two, three.

Minor cut to the forehead and 5cm lac to the rear of his head.

Do we know his history?

Sure do. I looked after him in ICU. Considerable stay following an MVA.

Intracranial haemorrhage and extensive cerebral oedema.

Do you remember me, Matt?

Yeah, I do.

According to Rehab chart, he hasn't had a seizure in over two weeks.

That's means you're doing really well, Matt.

Until this morning.

Right. I'll organise the transfer papers.

For somebody who's quit the ED,

you seem to find a lot of excuses for hanging around here.

And for someone off duty, so do you.

Touche.

Hey, it's my job.

Got a complaint, try Admin.

No complaints, no, no.

What's he doing here?

Detective De Santo. To what do I owe this pleasure?

Are you sick?

Nelson Curtis around?

Actually, you might as well hear this too.

Colin Fenely was found dead this morning.

Where's Nelson?

So Colin died from a complication to his head injury, did he?

Oh, come on, Detective.

If you're going to pursue this assault charge against Nelson,

you've got to give us some information.

How's Nelson been in the last week?

What's that got to do with anything?

Just curious about how he reacted to the news

that Fenely had regained consciousness.

What are you implying?

We're treating Fenely's death as suspicious.

Why?

We'll have to wait on the autopsy to determine the actual cause of death,

but at this point, the staff in Rehab have no medical explanation.

Well, that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Agreed, but I'd still like to speak to Nelson.

He had nothing to do with this.

He put the man into a coma in the first place.

Not a big stretch to think he might've finished off the job.

That's the very neat theory,

but in this case, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Can you vouch for his whereabouts last night?

Thought not.

What's going on?

Colin Fenely's dead.

Know anything about that?

How's the pain? Is it any better?

Vincent, more morphine?

Give him 60mg IV ketamine.

We'll give you something else for the pain, mate.

You're doing great.

He'll be out soon, right? I've got a business to run.

Working as fast as we can.

Hey, we got an ETA on rescue yet?

Checking now.

938 to base. We need an ETA on rescue.

Here, try it...

Best pea and ham soup in the country.

That's another 10 to 15 on rescue. Good.

Okay. So what's the plan?

You tell me. What are our options?

Well, we either pull the mincer apart and release the arm

or leave the arm there and take the whole thing to the ED.

You know the arm's a mess.

Wouldn't it be easier and safer to amputate?

Easier maybe, but we don't know how much damage has been done.

For all we know, the whole arm could be intact inside that thing.

That's right. We've gotta find out.

I'll chat to Klaus, see if there's a manual.

This isn't going to set me back, is it?

I mean, I've been doing really well.

Well, your skull X-ray was all clear, so that's good news.

We'll do a head CT to make sure you haven't had another bleed.

Just a precaution, Matt.

Do you remember exactly what happened?

I was pushing too hard, not concentrating on the walking routine.

You know, a mate died last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You'd know him. Colin Fenely.

Yeah, yeah, I do.

Died last night.

He was doing it really tough, you know?

Yeah, well, not as tough as some. I'm going to organise the head CT.

I'm sorry. I'm sure you've got this covered.

What's up their bums?

I have no idea.

Hey. If Colin's dead, what does that mean for Nelson?

Shh. What?

What exactly is it about Matt that's rubbing you up the wrong way?

You were fine with him until he mentioned Colin Fenely.

It's a long story, Sean.

It's a long shift, Charlotte.

Look, the guy's mate is dead,

so maybe a little compassion wouldn't go astray here.

Colin got what he deserved.

Dan...

He spent two months in a coma. God knows how long rehab would've taken.

That's not the point. Then what is?

The point is...

Alright. Let's just take care of Matt, okay? He's our patient.

Yeah. Why don't we do just that?

Why didn't you let me tell him?

Do you honestly think Nelson wants it broadcast?

Why don't you tell me?

Problem shared, problem halved and all that.

Sorry, it's not my problem to share.

Just hang in there a bit longer, Tim.

Rescue's arrived, so we'll work out the best way to get you out.

There's only two blades,

so there's a good chance the arm's still intact.

Yeah, looks like it.

Rescue reckon that they can actually cut the mincer from the bench,

so what do you want to do?

Get to the ED fast, remove the arm in a more controlled environment.

Try and stay calm, Tim.

Tim, no, no, no. Don't do that. You're gonna hurt yourself.

I can't breathe!

You need to stay still, Tim. (screams)

He's tachypnoeic.

His BP's dropped to 79/38. Pulse is 32.

Alright, I'll bag.

No! Just get me out of this bloody thing! (screams)

His IV's come free.

Hey, no blood on the floor. It's a health hazard.

Back off, Klaus.

Put another line in. Pump those fluids through.

Need to increase the oxygen.

Already on to it, Jack.

Alright, mate. Stay still and steady for us.

We're going to need to cut that mincer free...now!

Right. One, two, three.

Size 8 tube, Cate. Yep.

Cricoid pressure.

I'm in.

Equal air entry.

Let's get it tied off. Ready when you are.

Hang on, we need a tourniquet to prevent further damage in transit.

Base, this is 938. Leaving site now. ETA at All Saints, 20 minutes.

Copy that.

Okay. You got the time?

Yep.

Okay. Let's go.

What the hell are you doing? Where are you taking the mincer?

We're going to dismantle it at the hospital, mate.

No, you're not taking it anywhere.

No time for this.

Look, I've been waiting for that machine all morning.

You won't use it again?

Of course. Just wash it down, use it again. I've got food to prepare.

I said no!

You want your mincer, come to the hospital and get it, alright?

I'll keep an eye on Nelson. You go home.

Blood tests aren't back yet.

Then wait for them at home.

Come on. You don't need this right now.

I'll decide what I need and what I don't need, thank you very much.

Hey. Our friend here - what's his story?

Fall in Rehab.

Yes, I know that. What caused it?

Frank, you're not on duty.

What caused his fall?

He heard about the death of a Rehab mate this morning,

lost concentration and fell.

I've got this under control.

Mmm.

Well, they're clear.

Seeing as I hadn't formed a first opinion,

I appreciate the second opinion.

Have you called a counsellor?

About to.

Rehab patients can get very close to one another.

He's probably much more affected by his friend's death than he realises.

Frank, the friend was Colin Fenely.

Oh.

Not you too.

You were all here when Colin was brought in. I remember it clearly.

(shouts) All of us in Resus, struggling to keep him alive

because some thug had beaten him to death.

The thug you're referring to is Nelson, okay?

Rightio then.

They brought his fiancee into the ED but it was way too late.

Nelson just lost it and went after Colin.

Let me get this right.

You didn't think for one second

that maybe this information was even remotely important enough

for me to know?

I'm sorry - it's not something you put in a memo.

I wasn't asking for a memo.

Just a chance to avoid putting my foot in it

about 387 times so far today.

Yeah.

We just thought it would be better if less people knew about it, you know?

PAGER BEEPS

Besides, mate. It really wasn't up to me.

We've got trauma incoming.

This is Tim Scott. 25 years old. Industrial kitchen accident.

Tourniquet was applied...

11.5 minutes ago.

Don't take him off that thing. I'll get rid of this bed...

We'll move it, Frank. You shouldn't move anything heavy.

We had trouble controlling his pain. Vasovagal episode.

Electively paralysed and sedated for transport.

BP's stable, 110/70. Pulse 80.

I'll take care of his airway.

It's alright, Frank. I'll get it.

Bloods?

Group and hold, FBC, UEC, CK, ESR, coags.

IV cephalothin 2g.

I'll get it.

Frank, we've got this under control.

Is anyone handy with a screwdriver? We need to get this thing apart.

I'm not bad. I'll get maintenance to send some tools up.

Come on, guys. Let's move fast on this one.

WOMAN: Excuse me.

Nelson, thank God it's you.

Jacqueline, what's wrong?

Something terrible is happening.

Okay, okay. Come through.

How many weeks are you now?

I'm 18.

Alright.

Oh! Whoa, whoa.

Oh, no. Okay. Lean on me.

Oh, please, no. That's the way.

We'll get you into a bed and see what's going on, okay?

Comfortable?

Yes, thank you.

Now, tell me what's happening.

Well, yesterday I went in for an amniocentesis

to check if there were any problems with the baby,

you know, with me being a little bit older.

And this morning I noticed I'd been bleeding,

and I thought it would stop, but it hasn't.

Please, Nelson! I don't want to lose my baby.

Hey, hey.

I know you're scared, but the calmer you are, the better off you'll be.

Now, the bleeding - is it heavy or is it just spotting?

Heavy-ish.

And you're obviously experiencing cramping.

Where's Dennis?

He's working.

I'll get Admin to track him down.

No, please don't do that.

He's so excited about being a dad.

I don't want to... Can we just please find out what's happening first?

Sure.

Charlotte, Jacqueline Cahill just presented. Would you look at her?

Dennis Poole's girlfriend. Oh, okay.

She's 18 weeks pregnant, had some PV bleeding,

lost some amniotic fluid and the foetal heart rate's a bit slow.

Okay, I'll be there in a second.

What's happening there?

Dennis Poole's girlfriend's in Sub-Acute.

Oh, dear.

Frank, is it true Colin Fenely died?

Mmm.

Can you come here?

Does that mean Nelson will go to prison?

I don't know what's going to happen, Charlotte.

The arm's wrapped right around the worm.

If I can disengage the mechanism, we might be able to twist it back out.

His heart rate's up. He's got peaked T waves on his ECG.

Okay.

Rapid infuse 30ml 10% calcium gluconate, please.

Ah, he's bleeding.

Tourniquet must have deflated.

Yeah, it has.

ERICA: He's in VT.

There's no output.

Well, we can't defib. It's a metal mincer.

Oh, no, you don't, mate.

Sinus rhythm. Excellent.

Yep, that'll do it.

Way to go, Cate.

Well, when you're done there, can you come back and bag, please?

Not a problem.

Morning.

You've come prepared.

Yes. I know how long Pathology can take.

No doughnuts. Good boy.

Eve packed it.

How the bloody hell is a man expected to survive on this?

So, what about you? How are you travelling?

Well, I thought I'd be happy to see the end of Colin.

Can't help wondering how the hell he died.

No.

I've just had a very interesting conversation

with Oscar Wu on that subject.

Oscar wouldn't tell me anything.

Yes, but I'm his colleague, my dear. It's my privilege.

Anyway, it turns out that he's as much in the dark as anybody else.

Everybody at Neuro were looking forward to a good recovery.

Apart from a little right-hand side weakness, he's had no seizures,

so they were expecting continuing improvement.

I was hoping for a medical explanation, Frank.

Yes. So was I.

JACK: How are you going there, Doctor?

SEAN: Almost.

I think that's it. There's a bit of movement now.

Alright, great. We should be able to ease a little bit of it out now.

How's the ECG?

Yeah, occasional eptopics since the last VT.

Do we know what he was mincing when this happened?

I was just wondering about contamination.

No, he's already had antibiotic cover.

That's all we can give him now.

Alright, Sean, you keep that mincer still.

Yep.

Jack, just feed the fingers back through the blades

and I'll try and ease it out this end.

Right. I'm good to go.

Just gently.

Keep it coming.

That's it.

That's it, just a little more.

A little more.

Oh...God.

SIREN WAILS

Is there any chance at all of them being able to reattach this?

I don't know, Jack, it doesn't look good,

but, you know, that's not up to us.

You'd reckon the vascular guys will try.

Our job to bag it and put it on ice, just in case.

I'll take care of that.

Yeah, thanks.

Erica, can you call Theatre, let them know we're on our way?

Sure can.

He may retain some use of the wrist. I guess that's something.

Listen, you did some really good work out there today.

You had to make some pretty tough decisions.

That goes for all of you.

Let's get some fresh dressings on and get him moving.

Hey, Von, before you go, can I ask you something?

Always depends.

I don't mean to pry, but you and Dr Campion seem pretty tight.

What's he like?

I mean, I haven't met him properly yet. Not officially.

Well, there's plenty of time for you to get to know Frank.

No need to rush the moment.

I took the job here because I heard how awesome he is.

Yes. People have said that.

He certainly has at every opportunity.

I'm going to introduce myself.

Well, Erica, I...

Call me Ricky. Ricky.

Today, he's got a lot on his mind.

All the more reason to cheer him up.

Hi.

We haven't actually met yet,

but I just thought I'd come and introduce myself,

tell you how happy I am to be working here, you know, and all that stuff.

Who the hell are you?

Oh...duh. Erica. But most people call me Ricky.

New nurse.

Actually, it's my second week here, so new to you, I guess.

Trust me to start a new job the week after the boss has a heart attack.

Well, Ricky, let me apologise for inconveniencing you.

No, I didn't mean it that way, I promise.

Okay.

Well, I'd better get back to it, then.

Yes, you better.

Vincent, do you mind if I go up?

I haven't seen this kind of vascular surgery before.

That's alright, mate. Go for it.

Great. Thanks.

Vincent. How'd you go?

After you, guys.

How's Quade been performing?

Quade's been good.

That'll make is easier for you to take your sabbatical, won't it?

Yes, it will.

I'm going to get cleaned up.

Just a sec.

Did Jack say anything about Deanna leaving?

No. He hasn't mentioned it.

How, um, close were they?

They were pretty close, from what I can gather.

Oi, Everleigh, you finished with my tools yet?

I've got a dunny to fix on Ward 8.

They're in Resus, Dennis. Cate's looking after them for you.

McMasters.

Grey man. How you going?

Finished with me tools yet?

Nearly done.

Hoo! Been making a bit of chutney, have you?

Alright.

See you later.

This will keep an eye on the baby's heart rate,

just in case he or she gets distressed.

Hey, it's alright.

I just can't stand

the idea of my baby being distressed when it's so little.

Jacqueline, you listen to me.

You need to stay calm and rest, okay, for your sake and the baby's.

(inhales deeply) Okay.

I knew there were going to be some risks involved

in getting pregnant at my age, but we...we want this so much.

I've been really careful. I eat well, I exercise.

I haven't had a glass of wine since I found out, I promise.

This is not your fault, okay?

Jacqueline, lots of pregnant women of all ages

experience these sorts of problems

and go on to have perfectly healthy babies.

Really?

Yeah.

And we're going to do everything we can

to make sure your bub's one of them, okay?

Okay. Here we go.

I'll get the ultrasound.

Thank you.

I'll be back in a minute.

Geez, look out.

Sorry.

Yeah. So you should be.

Chookie?

Hey, sweetie.

What are you doing here? Are you alright?

Yeah, of course I am. Just a routine check-up.

Nothing to worry about.

That's right.

Yeah, but you saw the doctor yesterday.

Yeah, that was for something different.

Everyone's got their own things to check.

Isn't that right, Nelson?

Absolutely.

You should've told me. I could've given you a lift.

I keep telling you - I'm pregnant, I'm not an invalid.

(laughs) Hey? Miss Independent.

If he had his way, I'd be wrapped in cotton wool.

Well, nothing but the best for my lady and my baby.

We're not likely to get another shot at this one, princess,

so we've got to get it right the first time, hey?

Did you tell Curtis, hey?

About this one being a natural athlete?

Curtis, I reckon we've got a little Wallaby in there.

You should feel the kick.

Look, Dennis, we've got some things to do, mate.

Yeah, yeah. No worries.

Hey, I'm on a break soon. I'll come and see you. Alright?

I love you too.

Yeah, alright. See you.

You really should tell him.

I can't.

It'd just break his heart if he thought there was something wrong.

Starting to think you'd forgotten about me.

Lucky, but not that lucky.

Dan told you the head CT was clear?

Yeah. I guess that's good news, then.

I'll just do those stitches now.

Alright.

This might sting a little.

We'll just keep you here another four hours,

and if there's no change in your obs,

we'll call patient pick-up and you'll be able to get back to it.

Great.

Thought you'd want to admit me or something.

Don't want to miss out on the big weekend outing.

Where are you going?

The Rehab gang are going to the track.

Colin and I...

He had a theory about the number seven.

I'm not so keen on it.

That car accident that I had when I lost Emma was on the 7th.

Anyway, if you guys have any ideas, I'd be glad to give them a try.

Sorry.

Don't look at me. What I know about gambling you'd fit on a pinhead.

Trust me, I'm not much better.

Colin was the one obsessed with winning and losing.

SOMBRE MUSIC

They've been here all morning, interviewing Rehab staff.

Just waiting on permission to get hold of the security tapes.

What's your point?

Well, my point is that they seriously suspect foul play

and they're pointing the finger right at you.

Yeah, well, you know what?

That's no-one's business but mine now, is it?

You selfish bastard.

Von, please, will you just...

No. Oh, no. Not this time.

I've put up with your tantrums, I've tried to ignore your abuse,

but, no, I'm not taking it anymore.

I walk away from all of this.

You're not the only one who missed out here, mate.

Kerry was the only family I had.

So don't you dare think you've cornered the market on missing her.

In the middle of the night, I could hear Colin crying...

..you know, when he thought no-one else was awake.

I don't sleep too well, so...

That must have been hard.

He was really struggling.

Most people do when they first hit Rehab.

I don't mean that. There was something about him.

Maybe it was because he lost his wife too.

Maybe that's why we kind of clicked - I knew how he felt.

He told you his wife died?

Did he tell you how it happened?

He choked up when he tried to talk about it.

You know, when he hit Rehab,

the cops started showing up, interviewing him for hours at a time.

About what?

What happened, I guess.

They did the same thing to me when I had my accident.

Wanted me to go over it again and again.

As if I didn't feel shitty enough about it already.

But Colin never said anything about what the police wanted?

They knew he'd been beaten up, but that's not why they were there.

Trust me, there was something else going on.

Such as?

Matt...

I don't know how to explain it. Colin was...he was in real trouble.

And that's what makes it so bloody hard.

I think I could have stopped it.

Stopped what?

I think Colin killed himself.

So what do we do?

What can we do?

There's nothing in Colin's records to indicate suicidal tendencies.

So I guess all we can do is tell the cops and let them handle it.

Mate, I need to ask you -

do you think Nelson could have done this?

No.

He handed himself in to the cops after he beat Colin up.

The level of the charge against him

was dependent on Colin's final medical outcome.

I'd say death is pretty final, wouldn't you?

Let's hope the autopsy supports Matt's suicide theory, then.

See, if Matt's right and Colin was feeling guilty about something,

then maybe he did remember killing Kerry.

Maybe, but again, we don't have any proof of what Colin remembered.

According to his records, he recalled being beaten,

but nothing before that.

Hmm, convenient.

He remembers enough to put Nelson in jail,

but nothing about his own actions - that's fantastic.

So they weren't able to salvage any of the hand?

Didn't even try.

He retains use of the wrist, so he's a good candidate for prosthesis.

Well, that's a good outcome, Jack.

Uh, Frank... (clears throat) ..have you got a minute?

I've got several, actually.

Can we have a chat? I'm all ears.

Somewhere private.

Right, Quade, what's on your mind?

Oh, come on. Spit it out.

Uh, I made a huge mistake, Frank.

I believed Deanna and I'm not even sure I can tell you why.

Not that I guess it really matter anyway.

I was...I was a bloody idiot.

Yeah, you were.

And I'm sorry.

I backed Deanna when I shouldn't have, and I failed you.

I don't even know what I was thinking.

I don't think you were thinking at all - not with your head, anyway.

Just so you know -

even when Alison Newell asked about the harassment allegation,

I really thought I was standing in neutral territory.

And that made you feel better, did it?

No. Not at all.

Good.

And now you want to change sides, is that it?

No, I just want to make this right.

I am sorry, Frank.

That's all I wanted to say.

NELSON: There you go.

Is everything okay?

The placenta's in a good position.

It doesn't look like it's breaking away or blocking the cervix.

There's plenty of activity in there, so it all looks perfectly normal.

Maybe Dennis was right and you'll have a Wallaby on your hands.

So everything's really fine?

Yeah, the bleeding's stopped

and your blood and urine tests are all clear.

The baby's heart rate is strong and steady.

So I think we can put this down to a scare.

I'm happy for you to go home,

but I'll write you a referral to your obstetrician.

So, um, what caused it? Was it the amniocentesis?

If it were the amnio, it would've presented immediately,

so it's doubtful.

Sometimes these things can happen, and we can't always explain them.

The most important thing for you is to take it easy,

keep your feet up for a few days.

Any sign of more bleeding, you come straight back to us.

Don't worry, I will.

Oh, and, uh...a souvenir.

Thank you. I've already started a photo album.

What's taking so bloody long, Curtis?

I thought this was meant to be just routine.

Just doing a thorough job, Dennis.

Yeah, well, good.

About time you... started listening to me.

Have a look at this.

Oh, what a looker, hey? Takes after his dad.

Look at that.

Yeah. (chuckles) Look at that.

Uh, yeah, right.

They swim around in there a bit, don't they, hey?

It would be really nice, Dennis, if you would drive me home.

Your carriage awaits, my lady.

Is that a tail?

Hey, Nelson. Rehab just called.

What did they want?

An ETA on Matt Berkley coming back to them.

They're organising a memorial service for a patient that just died

and wanted to know if he'd be back in time.

Where's his chart?

I don't know. Want me to call and say we're not sure?

No. Leave it with me. Okay.

Is he from the same Rehab unit Colin was in?

How did you know about that?

I had lunch with the RNs upstairs. They were talking about it.

Nelson...

I've got work to do, Cate.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You left some things at my place,

and I thought maybe you and I could talk.

I've got nothing to say to you.

Jack, please...

You've got some nerve, you know that?

I miss you. Oh!

Maybe you should've thought about that

before you made me choose between you and my family in there.

I didn't mean for any of that to happen.

What?

So you accidentally made up a bunch of crap about Frank,

and you didn't really mean to stab Nelson in the back.

Am I getting this right?

I didn't mean to hurt you.

You burnt a lot of bridges in there for me.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. So am I.

So this is the way it's going to go.

I don't want you in my life.

You don't come near me or any of my friends, you got it?

Fancy a game?

Balls are unsafe, pal.

Hey, how's your Rehab patient going?

Medically fine.

Psychologically, a bit of a challenge.

Still no sign of your blood results?

Go home. They'll call if there's anything you need to know.

If one more bloody person tells me that, I'll throttle them.

You'll have to catch me first.

Ha, ha.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If you're after a date, I'm already spoken for.

I'll learn to live with the disappointment.

Any chest pain?

Do you think I'd be rabbiting on to you if I had bloody chest pain?

For your information,

the blood tests came back over an hour ago and they were fine.

Ah.

So you're still here because... you don't trust us or what?

You asked me before about my reaction to your Rehab patient.

You don't have to explain.

I've been thoroughly filled in on all the ED staff now.

Nelson's got more people watching his back than the Prime Minister,

me included.

Since you're here and we're having a deep and meaningful,

there is something you can explain to me.

Mmm?

On my first day here, you put me on probation.

And you never told me whether I passed or not.

Still bloody here, aren't you? You work it out.

You.

Idiot!

He must mean you.

Take me to the Emergency Department. My property's there.

Really. Well, then nothing would give me greater pleasure.

Come this way.

What have you done?

Do you have any idea how much this cost me?

Was that before decimal currency came in?

What? You think this is funny?

Aren't you even going to ask how Tim is?

Don't get me started on that.

I've got WorkCover all over me, and for what?

His own stupidity.

If there's one screw missing from this, I'll be back.

Oh, I don't think so.

I think you'll be out buying a new mincer.

Who are you to lecture me?

Frank Campion, Director of Emergency Medicine.

So what do you know about mincers?

Well, I know this one didn't have a cut-off switch

and there was no restrictor plate over the feed throat.

That's gross negligence on the part of the owner,

and you're the owner, right?

You did say this was your property.

Want me to go on, idiot?

Hey, Dan, how are Matt's neuro obs?

They're normal.

Let's get him back to Rehab then. Sure.

You were friends with him, weren't you?

Come on, mate.

Get your bloody hands off me.

Did he tell you what he did?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did he admit it!

You tell me, mate!

Curtis, get out of there. Curtis, that's enough.

Curtis!

Okay. Get him on his side.

Out. Now.

Dan, 10mg of diazepam. Yep.

I need out of here.

I'm sorry, Mr Berkley.

We're going to have to check you over,

and then, when you're up to it,

get a statement for an incident report.

He's been tachycardic.

Do you want us to call the police?

Do you want another set of X-rays?

Yep. MRI and a head CT.

And keep him on 15-minute neuro obs, will you?

Sure.

I'll be right back, okay?

Bloody Curtis.

Is your patient alright?

I think so, yeah.

What's in the letter?

Is it from Colin Fenely?

(reads) "Goodbye, I win."

And he's right. He does win.

Yeah, I can see how you get that from the fact that he's dead.

I can't pretend to know what you're feeling, mate.

But this letter, it vindicates you.

It lets the police know you didn't kill him.

I wanted to see the look on his face when the judge said "guilty"...

..and they took him away for the rest of his bloody life.

Would that have made it better?

It would've been a start.

Really?

No.

Nah.

Maybe Colin just couldn't live with what he'd done, mate.

Maybe you should look at this for what it really is, hey?

It's the end.

I've been a complete bastard to you, haven't I?

I'm sorry.

I know you miss her too.

And I've been thinking, Von...

..why don't you... come back to the ED?

Please?

Will you think about it?
