Original subtitles

MAN: No! I'm going home!

We couldn't do a full assessment as he's aggressive and non-compliant.

What do you expect? You're not listening to me!

Nobody in this country has respect!

Calm down and let us have a look. I said no!

Why the hell isn't this patient in a hard collar and cannulated?

He wouldn't let us, Frank. It's your job to convince him.

How about we take a second and listen to the patient.

Get them to leave me be.

I'm sick of everyone in this country telling me what to do. No more!

Alright, I'll make a promise - we won't move you until you're ready.

Homer... Deal?

My name's Bart. What's yours?

Ashwatthama Ghazali.

But in this godforsaken country, it's 'Gazza'.

He was crazy.

(MAN LAUGHS)

I thought he was going to kill me.

I said I'm driving! Get away!

Get out of the car! Leave me alone!

I'm driving! I've got a panic button in here!

The police will come!

Help!

There's money under the seat, just take it!

I thought he'd never stop.

But he did. And you're where we can help you.

Homer.

You've got two minutes and then he's got to be sedated.

And miss any deterioration from the head wound?

How are you gonna treat it while he's this wound up?

The bastard stole my cab.

He wanted to kill me!

Have you got family we can call?

No family.

I came here to build a life for myself.

A new life.

I thought I left violence behind me.

But it's everywhere.

I'd like to go to the city.

(HUMS)

Hey!

None of it made any sense.

That's what was so frightening.

There was no cause, no meaning.

Like crushing my skull in was nothing.

Ashwa... Ashwama. Am I getting that right?

Ashwatthama. Sorry.

You may have some serious injuries. You need to let us examine you.

If you believe in opportunity, making a good future,

let us help.

You can get through what happened today.

You'll be looked after here.

Do what you have to.

Well done.

You OK? No.

My name's Adam. I'm a doctor. Can you tell me where it hurts?

Here. Where can we take her?

Just in here.

Wait!

Give us a minute! You're gonna have to get that moved.

Go. Tell them I'm fine, just that I'll be a little late.

What about Evan? It's alright. I'll call him.

You sure? Positive. Go.

(SIREN BLARES)

What's your name? Heather.

Any other symptoms?

Vomiting since early this morning.

And is that when the pain started?

I've been having that on and off for a week now.

Flared up really badly with the vomiting.

I thought I would be able to make it through the day but it got too much.

Just take it nice and easy, eh?

Gabrielle, this is Heather.

Vomiting with upper-right quadrant guarding.

You poor thing. Um, Amy, can you look after Heather for me, please?

I need to call my fiance.

He'll be waiting at the church.

(LAUGHS) Again.

This has happened before?

(SIGHS) We were due to get married 12 months ago.

I got sick then too.

With what?

Oh, I'm over all that. This is something different.

Well, we still need to know your medical history.

18 months ago I had a melanoma removed from my scalp.

The margins were clear but...

..just before Evan and I were due to get married

they found that it had spread to my lungs.

What was the outcome?

Six weeks of radiotherapy and then, thank God, remission.

(LAUGHS)

Well, let's start by getting you out of that dress.

I'll make sure it's put somewhere safe.

Can't you just give me something for the pain

and let me get to the church?

Heather, you've presented with serious symptoms.

I've lived through cancer twice now and this isn't it.

I told you... I'm in remission.

I still need to do a full exam, OK?

I'll be as quick as I can.

And I'll get you a phone so you can call... Evan, was it?

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

(SINGS) ♪ Do you know what I know? ♪

Folks, please, if you have to watch, can you do it from the footpath

and just a bit back from the tape?

Better still, just go about your business.

What have we got? We tried to make contact.

He was not cooperative. Police negotiator's been called in.

Right. Is he happy to wait for them to arrive?

Hey, look out, look out. Apparently not.

(YELLS) Whoo-hoo!

How do we get up there?

We don't. We wait for the negotiator.

Well, I'm not really into waiting.

The protocol is pretty clear, Jo.

Breaking protocol's better than treating a broken neck.

(CONTINUES YELLING)

Wait here. Yeah, can you just wait here?

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

I'm gonna be here a while.

They want to run tests.

I'm so sorry, babe.

Chest X-ray?

Yeah, and given her medical history, chest and abdo CT as well.

No, no.

Take your time. It's nothing to worry about.

Love you.

'Bye.

He's on his way.

Any idea what I might be able to tell him?

We'll know more when your results are back.

Food poisoning? Doesn't fit.

You said you've been having these pains for a week.

He doesn't know that.

I haven't said anything. I didn't want to... worry him.

Well, he's gonna see you in a lot of pain now.

I know.

But you have to understand that when I met Evan,

it was like I started a whole new life.

Doesn't that mean sharing everything?

When I got sick the first time I thought, "That's it.

"I've missed out on marriage, kids, all that."

Then I got better and along came Evan.

But you got sick again after you met him.

That was just the old me coming back for a second.

I dealt with it.

(LAUGHS)

I know it can't be anything serious this time,

so if he asks,

can we please just tell him it might be food poisoning?

I could tell him it's something we're exploring.

Thank you.

(HUMS)

He's definitely on something. Take a look at his feet!

It's all the more reason to wait.

What if you say the wrong thing and he jumps?

What if we do nothing and he jumps?

You're insane.

(IMITATES ELECTRIC GUITAR)

Hey.

Where the hell have you been? I've been waiting for ages.

Just went to get this for you to wear.

(LAUGHS) Why the hell would I want to wear that, huh?

(LAUGHS) I don't know.

'Cause it'd be funny? (LAUGHS) Yeah.

Funny for you, maybe. Hey?

(LAUGHS) Oh, whoo! Oh, man.

Hey, why are you chucking all this stuff?

WHOO! Oh, Mum said I had to clean up before we could go.

You ready? I need to look at your feet, first.

Hey? Oh, far out, man. I can't believe I've gotta do this.

I can't believe, I can't believe.

I cannot believe I've gotta do this.

I just want to... I just want to get to this party, you know?

We going to a party?

Dude!

Dude, come on, dude. What's with you?

OK, OK. I've got it, I've got it. We're going to a party.

Yes. Now, do you want to put this on?

Oh, yeah, no, maybe later. Maybe later. Alright?

Alright, well, then sit down and let me have a look at your feet.

Come on.

Whoa.

Bummer.

Just sit down.

Come on.

Whoa, mate.

Come on, let's do it over here. No, no, no. I'm good up here.

I'm good up here.

(IMITATES LIGHT SABER)

Hey, let's keep that one. That's a good one.

Let's keep that one.

Oh, bloody hell. God.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

(HOWLS)

Come up. God, Jo, what are you doing?

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

For real?

I get that same reaction from every Aussie.

Hey, I didn't mean to be rude.

It's just... not every taxidriver you meet has an engineering degree.

I was rude too.

I'm in a lot of pain here. I'm sorry.

We'll be able to give you something stronger

once the doctors assess your scans.

Thank you.

So why are you driving a cab?

I thought I would still be able to get a good job.

I'm an educated man.

But every door here is closed to me.

Something better will come up for you.

You must believe that. You're still here.

I'm not ready to give up just yet.

Maybe I'm just stubborn.

Being stubborn can get you a long way.

It's got me here.

Gets me abused for just doing my job.

Gets me ripped off!

What have we got, Homer? Small subdural haematoma.

Keep an eye on his neuro status. 30-minute obs.

Can we give him something more for the pain now?

We'll start him on the morphine PCA - 60mg, 60ml.

5-minute lockout. His left kidney's badly damaged.

It's completely shattered.

This really isn't hurting you, is it?

Weird, isn't it?

Tell me about it.

How'd you do that?

Oh, don't know.

Alright. All done.

Now let's go. We've gotta pick up the gear on the way.

Yeah, hey, before we go, can I see how this fits on you?

Um... yeah, only if it gets us there quicker, alright?

Yeah, it will.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Watch the hair.

Sorry.

Hey, what did you mean by, "We need to go and get the gear"?

Well, you know, little bit of chemical assistance.

Make life E-E-easier.

You know? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

OK. Alright, you happy?

Yeah. Let's go. Alright. About time.

Let's go. Let's go!

No! (SCREAMS)

Help me!

It's alright.

Oi! Oi! Look at me! Don't! No, don't let me fall!

Look at me! I've got you! You're not gonna fall, OK?

Don't let me fall. Understand?

How the bloody hell would I know what Vlasek's up to?

Well, if this medical response unit is bringing patients back to us

surely they've told you how that's gonna work.

All I know is that Mike decided to set it up

and so now it is being set up.

So the rumours are true about the new unit?

Yeah, apparently, although how he managed to talk Admin

into parting with the sheckles is beyond me.

Charm, PR skills, meticulous paperwork.

Sounds interesting. Yes, it probably is.

But it has nothing to do with what we do here so can we get back to work?

We need to know how the ED fits into that equation, Frank.

Oh, for God's sake!

We bust our gut working with antiquated equipment

while Vlasek scores a new train set because he wants to play superhero.

I tell you, the way they run this joint, it beggars belief.

Mmm. Do you like it?

I wanted something bold.

Oh! Thanks. It's amazing.

It was always gonna be a risky choice.

No, no, no. I love it.

It brings a little bit of you into this place.

Yeah? Yeah.

I'm not really sure I'd have taken all this on,

if you hadn't come along and shaken things up.

I'm happy to have done my bit. I mean it.

You got me excited about the future. Good.

Now where are you gonna hang it? I'm not sure.

Well, what about here?

Yeah, yeah. That could work.

(KNOCK ON DOOR) MAN: Where do you want this desk?

Um... Up against that wall, thanks, guys.

Rightio.

How come you haven't already hired someone to point for you?

I've got a few candidates in mind.

MAN: (OVER RADIO) MRU4, you're required back at base, ASAP.

Copy that, Base. I'll be there as soon as I've transferred my patient.

How's he doing?

Petrified. I'd sedate him if I knew what he's taken.

Whatever it is has made him aggressive at some point, though.

Yeah. I noticed his knuckles too.

So, the boss was calling you in for a 'well done' speech?

Something like that. Yeah. I'm sure.

Corey, how you feeling?

(BREATHES ERRATICALLY) I don't know what's happening.

Calm down, mate. Just try and relax, OK?

I go to sleep in my own bed, and I wake up on the side of a building.

You'll stay with me?

I'm gonna meet you at the hospital.

Right now, Bree's gonna take care of you.

Let's get moving.

Er, is it straight? Oh, I don't know.

Too close to tell.

A little to the left.

Er... er... how's that?

Perfect.

Dr Charlotte Beaumont, Juliet Martin.

Nice to meet you. You too.

Oh, I can come back later if now's not a good time.

No time like the present. What's up?

I am fact finding -

wondering how what you've got planned will impact on the ED.

It'll make life a lot easier for everyone, especially the patients.

Ask Frank.

I did. Which is why I'm here asking you.

Right. I spent six hours writing a detailed proposal.

And you sent that to Frank? Yeah. I did.

Mmm. OK. There's your first mistake.

Next time you send Frank something, can you CC that to me too, please.

Yeah. Will do.

Seeing as I'm here, any chance of a briefing

on how you see these changes working?

Well, the patients will get better treatment before they hit the ED.

We should be able to stabilise on site,

which should mean better outcomes back here.

It's all in the proposal.

I'm needed in Emergency. Thanks, Mike.

Are we still on for lunch?

Ah, yeah. Sure. Won't be long.

I see people all over this city...

..day, night, drunk, sober -

it doesn't make a difference.

You must see it around here... violence is everywhere.

Yeah. It is.

Can you just keep nice and still for me? Thanks.

You know, driving a cab

might give you a slightly warped view of life here.

You think? Well, yeah.

Lot of people only use cabs when they get too messy to drive,

or even walk sometimes.

Found anything?

Appears to be a small bleed in the peritoneal cavity.

Do I need surgery?

Ah, possibly. For now, though, we'll just keep a close eye on it.

I'll organise a bed up in intensive care.

You can take over from here. Any change, give me a call.

But I ate the same thing and I'm fine.

Which is why we're running some tests.

Food poisoning's just one possibility.

Oh, she's been so run down lately. Could it be anything else?

What makes you ask?

It stopped her getting to the church. I figure it's gotta be major.

I've asked for a rush on her bloods.

If they're not back soon, I'll chase them up.

Thanks. She's just here.

Hey, beautiful.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, don't even think about apologising, eh?

I just played 20 questions with the groom.

He didn't once mention the word 'cancer'.

Deliberately? Or do you think he's just scared of the word?

It was more like it wasn't on his radar.

Let's be careful what we say in front of him

until we know where we stand.

Yep. OK. Thanks very much.

You wouldn't happen to know

where Frank might have filed a proposal Mike sent him, would you?

(SCOFFS) Frank... filing something? Oh, you're hilarious.

FRANK: You right there?

Uh, Mike said he sent you a detailed proposal, re the MRU.

Did he now? Mmm. It's very impressive up there.

New gear, spacious new office,

even seems to have scored himself a very glamorous... secretary.

Her name wouldn't be Juliet?

Yes, it was.

(CHUCKLES) That's no secretary. No?

Who? Then who is she?

I haven't time to gossip. Get out of my desk.

Oh! Look at this.

The proposal Mike didn't send you. Good.

You can tell me all about it after you've read it.

I'll be in the common room.

What? Nothing.

I have far better things to do

than trawl through Vlasek's vainglorious self-promotion.

Of course you do.

Well, Bree's on her way in with another customer.

I'll go and deal with that, shall I?

(MUTTERS) Yes, I'll go deal with it.

Surgery's still a possibility.

But the dialysis should give your kidneys a chance to recover.

The intensive care team will keep a close eye on you.

How many times do I have to tell you? I haven't been doing drugs.

Tell 'em, Jo. GABRIELLE: Corey, relax.

We're just trying to help you.

He says he can't remember anything since going to bed.

Which doesn't mean that I was off my face.

Something's wrong with me.

He's got bruising and possible rib fractures

from jumping off a building in a harness.

Mr Ghazali!

(SHOUTS) You tried to kill me, you bastard.

Hey! Hey! Hey! (SHOUTS LOUDLY)

You had no right! (CRASHING)

(SCREAMS AND MOANS)

(MOANS LOUDLY) Who was that, Jo?

(MOANS) Get that patient moving.

(MOANS) Jo, why did he do that to me?

Why did he do that to me, Jo? I don't know, mate.

(GASPS AND MOANS)

MR GHAZALI: (GROANS) I'm in agony. Oh!

Your bleed's worse than since your fall.

(GASPS) Your kidney's badly damaged.

You'll need to go straight to theatre. Do you understand that?

5mg of morphine. 5mg of morphine.

Mike, Steve wants to know if you're available for a consult.

Yeah. Tell him I'll be there in a moment.

Tell theatre they'll need four units of cross-matched blood,

and he needs dialysis immediately after theatre.

Yep. Right. Let's get you moving.

What do you make of his prognosis?

Well, the kidney was line ball after the beating.

Now he's fallen, he'll be lucky if they save it.

'They'? Not you?

Oh, that's right. You have other priorities, don't you?

Yes, actually.

Did you get a chance to read that proposal I sent you?

Er, no. I gave it to Charlotte.

I'm sure she'll pass on anything I need to know.

Yeah.

(GASPS)

I don't know what's... what's real.

(SHOUTS) I dunno what's real! Corey.

Corey, just try and relax, alright? Just calm down, mate.

Is there someone you want me to call?

No. Er... I dunno. Maybe in a while.

Not... not now. Hey, Jo.

How're you doing? Hey.

So, what have we got?

Threw himself off a car park.

Fortunately Jo had a harness on him by then.

I didn't jump.

There's no history of mental illness in the file.

But the patient who was in Resus claims Corey beat him up.

Ah, so I hear. What do you say?

I've never seen that guy before.

Taken anything we should know about, Corey?

Everybody keeps asking me that. No.

I'm clean.

His pupils on the scene were pinpoint,

plus he mentioned wanting to get some ecstasy.

Did I?

Yeah.

I haven't done any of the crap for years. You can run any test you like.

I've ordered an urgent tox screen.

Hopefully that'll reveal what he's got on board.

OK. Well, let me know when it's available.

It's certainly not a surgical case at the moment.

Corey. Mate, I have to go. But you're in good hands here, OK?

You're gonna be alright.

I'll come back and check on you soon.

Hey, Jo, you got a moment? Not really.

Gotta get my butt kicked for saving his life

instead of following the rules.

When you get a sec, can you come to the new MRU headquarters?

We can talk there. Yeah.

What's happening in Resus?

My patient's gone to theatre, which is good.

For once, everything's covered.

Doesn't happen often. Take a break.

No. I'd rather keep busy, thanks.

Need a hand with any of your patients?

What about this one? Beresford. Mmm. May not be the one for you.

Why not?

Well, today was supposed to be her wedding.

So?

I know what happened to your friend. She was a newlywed too, right?

It's not an issue.

I just thought if you were keeping busy because you want a distraction,

a bride and groom might...

It's fine. OK.

You should know that her fiance

may not know about her pre-existing oncology condition,

so we gotta watch what we say.

Yeah. No problem.

Let's go.

Here. Heather. This is Dr West.

Hi. I'm Bart. I hear congratulations are almost in order.

Another doctor - what's going on?

I just felt a second opinion wouldn't hurt.

Yeah. I'm just tagging along.

Hmm. How's the nausea? Still plenty of it.

Honey, we had the same thing last night.

This isn't about jitters or anything, is it?

No.

I don't wanna push you to do anything.

No. Of course I wanna get married.

This is just... a bug or something, right?

You're sure? Of course I am.

This is impossible. We can't keep him there and keep this secret.

Yeah. I know. So what's your plan?

We need to get them apart so we can be certain what he knows

and what she wants to tell him.

Do you really think he's gonna want to leave her alone?

No. But he hasn't met Von yet, has he?

And there was nothing she had that you didn't?

Nah. Some of it we even ate off the same spoon.

Tragic, huh?

Your last wedding date was postponed too.

Was it... something like this?

She had a sudden death in the family.

Her rellies are interstate. She was gone for about two months.

And that was 12 months ago?

Mmm.

She was a real mess when she came back -

depressed, lost a lot of weight,

didn't want to talk about it.

Don't you think he'd wanna know?

I didn't wanna know.

I...

I don't wanna know now.

Cancer stopped me getting to my last wedding day.

It's not gonna do it again.

Maybe it won't,

but whatever the outcome, do you really wanna go through this alone?

I won't be because it's not cancer.

It can't be. Heather.

It's too late. I've made my decision.

And if it is cancer, then I'll deal with it.

He didn't sign up for that.

So where are you taking me, finally?

Somewhere well worth the wait, I can assure you.

Hey. Not a good time?

Um, I thought you were sorting things out with your boss.

He's on lunch. Lucky him.

Um... later would be better.

OK. But later'd be much later. I'm still on call.

Right. Oh, I don't mind waiting.

You sure? Do what you have to.

We'll just be five.

Thought this hospital was crying poor.

(SCOFFS) I intend to save them money in the long run.

Yeah? How's that?

Well, you put top-grade emergency surgeons

and physicians out there on the scene it's...

Well, it's gonna end up reducing theatre time, length of stay.

That's the theory, at least.

Makes sense, though. Don't you think? Yeah.

So you're getting all this off the ground?

Yep. Writing a whole new rule book.

Hand-picking a team.

It's exciting. It is. You interested?

Tell me more.

Any more of his memory coming back?

Well, he's been asleep the last little while.

Right. So was he any more lucid before he went to sleep?

Kept saying the same thing over and over, "What's happening to me?"

(MUMBLES) Get it out. Get it out.

Tox screen back yet? No.

(SHOUTS) Get it out. You're poisoning me!

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa. Whoa. You're poisoning me!

You're alright.

(SCREAMS) You're out to get me. He's my brother.

The cops'll know. They'll do a test and they'll know.

Diazepam, 5mg. (GASPS) Oh, yeah.

(QUIETLY) Oh, Matty. Come on, Matty. Come on.

Hang on a sec. Hang on. (WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

Let's go.

Matty...

(SNORES)

He's still asleep. He was asleep through all that?

Apparently so.

(SNORES) What's going on with this guy?

Good question.

(MIKE) ...and we have access to a chopper,

so you'll still be able to climb up and down ropes.

Might be able to train you

in some more advanced medical procedures in the field.

Such as?

Surgical incisions, arterial lines, cracking a chest.

Sounds tempting.

Ah. It's been longer than five, hasn't it?

A bit. Sorry.

I'm trying to poach my first staff member.

Ah. Well, don't let me stop you. We won't be long.

It's fine.

Take whatever time you need. I'll see you at home.

I'll make it up to you. Sure. See ya.

'Bye.

(LAUGHS) Well?

OK. I'm in.

Brilliant. Let's get started on the paperwork.

Have it done by this afternoon.

Heather, we've got your test results back.

I'm sorry, but the news isn't good.

Would you like Evan in here with you now?

No. Tell me.

Your blood results are positive,

and the biopsy of your liver shows the presence of cancer cells.

(CRIES)

(SOBS)

Heather. What's going on? Hey, hey, hey.

We'll leave you alone for a minute. No. Stay.

Do you know what's wrong? What is it?

I can't marry you, Evan.

Hey, that's OK. I thought today'd be a wash-out.

We'd just postpone.

No. Not today. Never.

Heather, hang on.

W-w-what's happened? It's over.

I'm sorry.

I think I got sick today because I knew deep down that this was wrong.

S-s-since when?

I know. I should have said something sooner.

Yeah. You should have.

Could you go? There's nothing left to say.

You can't just expect me to walk away.

(SHOUTS) Get out! Just leave. It's over.

I never want to see you again.

(SOBS)

Did she send you out? Does she want to see me?

She's upset. Just give her some time. (SIGHS)

Last few months, getting married's all we've spoken about.

I never once questioned it's what she wanted.

Well, you need to talk to her.

Don't go anywhere just yet.

Be honest with me - has something happened?

Do you know why she's suddenly doing this?

Look, I don't know why Heather's doing what she's doing.

From what I've seen, she really cares about you.

Yeah, I thought she did. Just stay close for a while.

We'll talk to her. OK?

Yeah, thanks.

Heather, hello.

Look, I've got some information for you that,

when you're ready, you might find helpful.

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, there's no rush. Heather's called off the engagement.

Because of the diagnosis?

I'm not putting him through this.

I can't tell him that I have cancer.

Having support right now is a very good idea.

I've done it on my own before.

But you don't need to this time.

Evan would want to stand by you, help you through this.

I've made my decision. But he's got no idea why.

It's what I want.

It's the best thing for both of us.

Has he woken at all? No.

Tox screen back?

No, I had to sic Frank onto them.

How's he been sleeping? Yeah, restless.

Says a few words here or there.

Not a lot of it makes a lot of sense.

Hey.

What's happening?

You're in hospital.

Do you remember coming in here?

Yeah.

I remember.

How long have I been here?

Hours.

You've been asleep.

But you've been pretty agitated.

Been having nightmares?

How'd you know?

Well, you were yelling.

You pulled your cannular out.

Oh, man, my life's so screwed.

You mentioned your brother. A lot.

Did I?

Matty?

Yeah. My little brother, Matty.

Did something happen to him?

He was still on his Ls.

I hassled him to drive home after a party

because he was only half... half as ripped... ripped as me.

Now he's in a coma.

For long?

Three years.

I haven't touched drugs or been able to sleep since.

Have you been taking any prescription sleeping medication?

Yeah.

Did you take any last night?

Yeah.

Why'd you tell us you haven't been taking any drugs all this time?

I thought you meant party drugs.

I got them from a doctor. It's OK.

Did you drink any alcohol last night?

Yeah. I had a couple. That's all.

OK, what's the name of the medication?

I have no idea. I just hand my prescription in to be filled.

Do you know the name of the doctor that prescribed them to you?

I don't know. Who cares?

Did you double-check the pockets of the clothes he was wearing?

I did. Nothing.

Is it OK if we get the cops to go round to your place,

and try to find these tablets?

Yeah, if it's gonna help, you can bring in my whole damn place.

OK.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, how did you go with Corey?

Uh, he's stabilised. Calmed down a bit.

Turns out he's been taking some sort of prescription sedative

for insomnia.

Can he tell you which one? No, got the cops onto it.

How'd it go with your boss?

Fine. I got in first with a resignation.

You're kidding!

Nope. I'm signing on with Mike Vlasek.

Really? Yeah. It's exciting times.

He's got chopper access, new vehicles, training budget,

great headquarters - seems like a pretty cool boss.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Do you mind if I go and say a quick hello to Corey?

No, of course, yeah.

Hey.

Does Heather want to see me now or have you come to tell me to go home?

Neither.

This morning I was looking forward

to spending the rest of my life with her and now...

I know, I know.

I just don't understand how things went so wrong.

I know she loves me.

Well, it's obvious that you love her too.

More than I ever thought possible.

Maybe I'm just kidding myself thinking I deserved her.

Come on, you can't go thinking like that.

How else am I supposed to think?

She dumps me for no reason - well, no explanation that makes any sense.

Heather has cancer.

She's trying to protect you.

How bad is it?

It's in her liver, which is pretty bad.

She's gonna need me. Just hang on.

No. She shouldn't be going through this on her own.

I'm making arrangements for you to move to Oncology.

It shouldn't take long. OK.

And you can discuss your treatment choices with the specialists there.

I think I have a pretty good idea what those choices are.

We'll stay with you, help you get settled in.

Thanks.

Heather.

Please, I told you I don't want you here.

I know what's going on. I know what's wrong with you.

You told him.

I could never have just walked away and left you here in a hospital.

I would have found out eventually.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to be this strong.

I've lied to you.

I've had this before.

The first time we were supposed to get married.

I never told you.

I'm sorry. It's OK.

We can't start a life together like this.

We've already started it.

My life is you, whatever happens.

From now on, we never lie to each other again. Promise?

Promise.

So how do you feel about us getting married?

Same time next year.

It's a date?

Why wait?

What's wrong with today?

(BOTH LAUGH)

MAN: If we could have the witnesses over here, please.

MAN: OK, come on over.

Bet you weren't expecting this when you clocked on this morning.

Who do I have to thank for getting me involved?

It was the least I could do.

How cool is this?

Now before Heather and Evan are joined together in marriage,

I'd like to take a moment to remind you of the solemn,

the serious and binding nature of the relationship

you are about to enter into.

You know we do have a chapel.

Well, it wasn't available. They didn't want to wait.

So whose idea was this?

Was this your idea?

Shh!

Marriage is voluntary and is a full commitment

given freely with all our hearts.

It is entered into with a desire, hope and firm intention

that it will last for life.

Bart.

After everything you did to get those two together,

I thought you'd be keen to see the wedding.

I've got things I need to do.

I'm glad everything worked out alright.

Instead of blowing up in your face.

Yeah. She's technically my patient.

You could have told me what you were planning.

I didn't have a plan.

Evan had no idea what was going on.

I didn't think it was fair so I told him.

It was a big call.

You're missing the wedding.

But you did it for the right reasons.

Listen, mate, if you ever want to go for a beer

or grab a bite to eat or just a chat...

..any time, OK?

That'd be good. Thanks.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

I love you.

(APPLAUSE)

It's so romantic.

Mmm. Totally.

If you're up for giving one person complete control over your future.

I would never have picked you for a cynic.

Live and learn.

So are you gonna be fired? For what?

Blabbing to the husband.

I can't believe you did that.

Yeah, well, won't happen again.

Well, I'm behind you, 100%.

What you did today actually took some balls.

Right. Serious.

I didn't know you had it in you.

They were right where he said they'd be.

Along with his keys and wallet.

Front door was wide open.

Yeah, I'd say that's probably because he was asleep when he walked out.

You've had trouble with these drugs before?

Uh, no, Corey's my first patient

but I've been reading up on similar cases.

We were right.

Zolpidem tartrate?

So these sleeping tablets really could have caused

that kid to act so wired?

Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

Combining these with booze has been linked with psychotic episodes,

violent behaviour, sleepwalking, sleepdriving, even sleep-sex.

(LAUGHS) Been there. Yeah, me too.

Hmm?

Thing is, most of the sufferers have no recollection of their behaviour.

No doubt he'll use all that when this gets to court.

You're still gonna charge him?

He could have killed that taxidriver.

My bro looked like that after the accident.

Will he wake up?

Yeah.

And be OK?

He's lost a kidney.

But he should be able to live a relatively normal life.

I used to think I was normal.

Before Matty.

Before all of this.

OK if we stay a while?

Yeah, of course it is.

Stay as long as you like.

You need to read that for yourself.

Can't you just give me the gist of it?

There's a lot to it.

The hospital are throwing everything they have at Mike

so best you just read it.

I'm sure it's exactly the sort of thing that boards go gaga over.

Lots of pretty pictures and simple sentences.

You haven't read it yet.

If the board's sitting on a pot of gold why didn't we get to it first?

I don't know where this money's come from but what's happening is great.

For all of us. You know what you should do?

Get more money out of the board. Do something like that, only better.

I don't think we're the priority right now.

Bugger it.

We're turning into second-class citizens.

I don't bloody well like it.

How am I supposed to keep decent staff if I can't afford

to pay them and resource them properly?

(SIGHS)

Don't worry, Frank - no-one's gonna leave you for Mike.

Hey.

Nice digs.

Thanks.

Mind if I have a poke around?

Sure, uh, long as you make it quick.

Hey.

I can come in early and finish this tomorrow if you like.

No, I'm fine.

Don't want you getting sin-binned on my account.

Shut up and write.

You wouldn't be looking for a gun emergency physician by any chance?

I really don't wanna piss Frank off by poaching one of his team.

It's not poaching if I come to you.

No, still...

You can't rule me out just 'cause Frank might not like it.

Or are you seriously that afraid of him?

You seriously interested?

I'm here after a 14-hour shift, aren't I?

Jo, you know how it works - help the new kid.

That's it? I'm hired?

Good man.

Four copies. Press hard. Any mistakes, start over.

Hi. It's me.

Yeah, gonna be a bit longer than I thought.

I'm sorry. It's gonna be fun.

The three of us working together.

Yep. Do you want me to pick up something?

OK.

Yeah, me too.
