The Price of Love

1
Previously on All Saints
What I'm about to do
may lose me my job.
You're honest.
Do what you think is right.
You've lied to me.
I hold their hands,
wipe their tears, help them.
My experience means nothing?
I want Jenny back, too.
That won't happen.
She's gone.
You have a chance to give
meaning to the life she had.
The thought of her lying there with
her body cut open for spare parts.
That's what it comes down to.
I don't know
if I want that to happen.
Aren't you the big man, Bucknell?
Big hero getting rough with women.
I didn't know how to stop him.
You're jealous
you didn't get a piece.
(cries) I hate him.
I hate him!!
I didn't train my bum off
for a nice easy day.
I am ready for action.
(echoing) Ben!!
LOUD EXPLOSION
Thanks for the lift.
Hey, hey.
What?
Oh, sorry. Thank you. Mwah.
Hey, hey, hey. Will you calm down?
I have to make sure
David's been assigned to the ward.
You heard how Zoe was on the phone.
The guy is dying, Steph.
Yeah?
Maybe someone else
should look after him.
But I'm his friend.
You'd want a familiar face
if you were as sick as David.
I'd put a bullet in my head,
get me out of my misery.
Are you going to visit him?
He won't want visitors.
You won't have to stay long.
They won't want me there.
Then, do it for me.
Come on, please, please.
If I find some time.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
You're not going to work
any miracles with this one, right?
Yes, I know.
At least I can take
some of the burden from Zoe.
If anyone can do with a break,
it's her.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, for
What are you doing?
You saw I was dropping her off.
I don't want him admitted.
Can't you do something?
You said on the phone
They said they'd fix things up
in A&E.
They never mentioned staying over.
You know what bedsores are like.
You husband needs IV antibiotics.
I'm a nurse. I know what to do.
Steph, tell him.
We went to uni together.
Steph, tell him.
We went to uni together.
I've done his dressing twice a day,
like the d
I've done his dressing twice a day,
like the district nurse showed me.
The infection isn't your fault.
He can go home in a few days
once the antibiotics work.
I thought it was overnight.
One, two, three.
(painful cries)
Careful!
I'm sorry.
I'll live.
It'll just give you both a break,
a chance to recharge your batteries.
Don't tell me what I need, Steph.
You have no idea really.
If you'll excuse us.
Okay.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We can still do it.
Here?
Okay. It's up to you.
PHONE RINGS
Hi, Jaz.
And why do I have to
ask Bron for money?
I already have, twice.
Maybe she'll listen to you.
It's your name on the lease.
You need to make sure
the rent gets paid.
What am I meant to do?
Search her room
and pawn her valuables?
What about all that money from Bob?
Anyone seen an agency nurse
wandering around?
Wandering? That'd be right.
I'll let you know.
The women's march is on Friday.
You have a problem with women
marching against violence?
No, it's just a great place
to meet girls and I'm on an early.
Zoe, you look dead on your feet.
Keep this going
you won't be any use to anyone.
I'm alright.
Come on, take a break.
JAZ: Sister Sullivan.
Yeah?
The police can see me
later this morning.
Is it okay if I take an early lunch?
Of course it is.
How do you feel about it?
Of course it is.
How do you feel about it?
Oh, pretty good.
Oh, pretty good.
We have our own way
of dealing with things.
That's why he should be at home.
That's where he belongs.
Zoe, come on.
It's ME you're talking to.
I'll look after him.
Sit down. Sit down for a minute.
Okay. You don't have to
do this alone.
Are you sure you don't want me
to arrange home nursing for him?
Where's the money for that
going to come from?
Well, we could find a way.
No. I'm already doing double shifts
at the nursing home
to make ends meet.
I can't do any more.
Why didn't you say?
Ben and I would love to help out.
It doesn't matter now.
You know when the doctors said
there was no more they could do
we just(deep sigh)
..we just wanted it to end, Steph.
Well, it's about time.
Nice to see you, too, Connor.
Enough of the niceties.
Cough up your rent, Bron.
Gidday, gidday.
No, I'm not here to give you money.
What are you here for?
You booked an agency nurse,
didn't you?
Surprise!
(giggles) Excellent.
How's the fancy mattress?
It's good, thanks.
Like floating on air, so they say.
I'll see if I can
organise one at home.
Are you still in pain?
He's always in pain.
I'll see if I can get Luke
to up the morphine dose.
No, Steph. It's okay, really.
Okay.
Buzz if you need me.
We will.
(ragged breaths) I don't want this.
I know, darling.
No more.
I know.
Get the kids.
I want to say goodbye.
Okay.
It's great to have you back
for the day.
Thank you.
Remember where everything is?
The drug room
Very funny.
After pulling people out of cars,
delivering premmies, this is easy.
You delivered a premature baby?
34 weeks and breech.
It was born in the ambulance?
We didn't quite make it that far.
Take your time. I'll make sure David
doesn't get up to any mischief.
How's it going?
I've never seen her like this.
You two are pretty close,
aren't you?
I was her bridesmaid.
I keep remembering the wedding.
We were standing on
the church steps freezing.
She had us in
these strapless numbers.
Ben.
Hey, Steph. Luke.
I just saw Zoe in the lift.
She's pretty upset.
She said David's doing fine.
He's just having a nap.
Well, don't wake him up
on my account.
Oh, he won't be asleep long.
I'm in a rush. I'm on duty.
You don't want to see him.
It's not that.
I'm no good with small talk.
What am I going to say?
Hope you get better?
Make an effort.
RADIO BEEPS
RADIO: Car 978 on air for a case.
That's me. I've got to go.
Go.
Partner.
How are you handling the pressure?
Mate, it's killing me.
Oh, Peter,
could I have a quick word?
Sure can.
I thought you wanted an early lunch.
Luke's waiting on lab results and
Connor needs me to page Dr Turnbull.
Luke's waiting on lab results and
Connor needs me to page Dr Turnbull.
You'll miss your appointm
It's really busy.
You'll miss your appointment.
It's really busy.
You must be scared
about going to the police.
It's a very big step.
No, it's not that.
I didn't think you wanted Danny
to get away with this.
I don't.
Do you want me to come with you?
My mum's going to come.
Alright. Just go.
Bron.
You and I have got to talk
about rent.
Mmm. Someone's in a grumpy mood.
I don't want to get kicked out
of my home.
Can you cover me this week?
I've a cash-flow problem.
But Bob gave you ten grand.
Ten grand doesn't go far these days.
I can't believe you spent it all.
It's my money.
I can do what I like with it.
She keeps making threats
how her life won't be worth living
if she doesn't pass.
Not surprisingly,
Carmen buckled under the pressure.
If somebody had told me
they'd cancelled surgery
I'd have brought these earlier.
They just decided.
Oh, and a good thing, too.
When can you go home?
Your tutor's due at five.
Well, my doctor didn't really say.
Oh, for goodness sake.
This is your future
we're talking about.
Marks don't just drop
out of the sky.
I know that.
If you don't want to go to uni,
let me know and we'll stop
wasting everybody's time.
Mum
Mrs Marchetti.
Carmen's been very ill.
She kind of needs a rest.
Well, they cancelled the operation
so there can't be
that much wrong with her.
Now, Chemistry's next.
When did you last revise
'Acids and Bases'?
That kid is so strung out.
It's Year 12. I was hopeless.
My mother was hysterical.
I was pretty laid-back.
I was pretty laid-back.
But then again, I didn't star
like some people I know.
But then again, I didn't star
like some people I know.
Well, I didn't go to a top school.
I had to work hard
for every mark I got.
I wasn't having a go.
I still have nightmares
about the HSC.
I know where Carmen's coming from.
Maybe you could give her
some lessons in being laid-back.
Hello, Max. Hello, Ella.
Aren't they beautiful?
They sure are.
Okay, come on. Grandma's waiting.
I'll take them, if you like.
Thanks. Mum's outside.
Come on.
Do you want to give Daddy a hug?
Hey, come here.
I love you very much, you know.
You should always remember that.
I love you, too, Daddy.
Come on, Max.
I'm just going to sit with Dave.
Can you make sure we're left alone?
Yes, sure.
Thanks.
Are you sure?
Please, Zoe.
Just let me go.
Okay.
SONG: WENDY MATTHEWS
"THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY"
Frangipanis, remember?
Our honeymoon.
Those trees were everywhere.
(inhales deeply)
You know I love you.
I'm going to be watching
over you and the kids, you know.
I know you will.
'Cause you're leaving me behind
After this long
is there nothing I'll keep
Oh, I can shout
You'll pretend
you're falling asleep
Thank you.
believing that you're mine
It's just a pack of lies
'Cause you're leaving me behind
Hey, there's not a cloud
I'll be here for you, okay?
Happy to stay here.
You won't be in any more pain,
I promise.
(clears throat)
Oh, sorry. How can I help you?
Yeah. Um I'm here to see, um
..Detective Carew.
My name is Jasmina Hillerman.
Does she know
what it's in regards to?
Yeah. She knows.
Okay. Take a seat.
She won't be long.
DOOR KNOCK
Sorry to hassle you.
I said not to come in.
It's time to turn him.
(sniffs) That's nice.
Yeah. Anything to get rid of
the hospital smell.
Max told me about the cubby-house
he's building.
Max told me about the cubby-house
he's building.
He asked me to help paint it
when it's fini
He asked me to help paint it
when it's finished.
Look, can't this just wait?
He's just managed to doze off.
We shouldn't leave it too long.
There's plenty of time.
He's a bit agitated.
He does that a lot.
Okay.
Buzz me if he wakes.
Or if you want a coffee.
Close the door behind you, okay?
Excuse me.
Are you Carmen's doctor?
No. I'm Peter Morrison.
I've been referred by Dr O'Hara.
I'd like to have a chat with her.
What's there to talk about?
Her doctor tells me
she's extremely stressed.
She's a bit uptight because
she didn't do well in her trials.
She's worried
about the marks for uni.
Frankly, so am I.
So, she's quite disappointed
about the trials?
We both were.
Normally she's top of her class.
But my operation in April
disrupted us - the study schedule.
I should have waited.
Well, life does go on,
even during an HSC year.
You can't pick and choose
with a corneal transplant.
You had a corneal transplant
in April?
Yes. Here at All Saints.
It couldn't have been at a worse
time, as it turned out, for Carmen.
Why?
Oh. Um no reason.
Um, I'd just like to talk
to you and Carmen
about how she's feeling
towards her exams.
Well, she's a bit anxious.
But that's perfectly normal.
Well, I see quite a lot of that
in the psychiatric unit.
Carmen does not need a psychiatrist.
Anyone who makes herself that sick
just to miss an exam,
has serious issues
that need to be resolved.
She did this to herself?
Yeah, she did.
You need to know
so we can tackle the problem.
The only thing Carmen needs
is a medical certificate.
If you won't do it,
I'll find someone.
And please don't disturb her.
She's studying.
I'm right, aren't I?
He's slipped into a coma.
Yeah, he has.
It was very sudden.
So?
What's happened?
David's level of consciousness.
He's only responding to pain.
Glasgow coma, scale of six.
Glasgow coma, scale of six.
He's terminal.
These things happen, yeah?
He's terminal.
These things happen, yeah?
What do you want to do?
Why do you want to do anything?
Let's just let him be.
We can just keep him comfortable.
Let me know if you need anything.
Maybe he knew it was the end.
Why do you say that?
Well, he suddenly wanted
to see the kids so badly.
Maybe he was just hanging on
for one last visit.
It's what he wanted.
Just to slip away quietly.
You can understand that, can't you?
DOOR KNOCK
Yeah?
Hi.
Hi. How did you go with Carmen?
I haven't got past
her bodyguard yet.
Her mother, Paula.
I think she's more hung up
about the HSC than her daughter.
As if those exams aren't hard enough
without that pressure.
Yeah, exactly.
Look, um you're probably
going to think I'm crazy.
Well Paula Marchetti, she had
a corneal transplant last April.
And?
Well, Jenny died last April.
So?
Oh. Oh, Peter
I can't stop feeling that horrible
woman has got Jenny's corneas.
Well, it doesn't make any sense.
The same hospital. The same month.
The same coloured eyes.
Corneas aren't coloured.
I'll check her files
and see if dates match.
That's unethical.
And even if you're right,
what are you going to do?
Ask for them back?
Yeah, well,
the thought had crossed my mind.
I know you think I'm crazy.
I think you love Jenny very much.
I can't look at her without
Without thinking
there's a lovely person out there
who's just thrilled
to have Jenny's corneas?
(chuckles) Okay?
Okay. Alright.
It is an amazing coincidence.
Come on, Peter!
Alright. I won't give it
a second thought.
You'll be in peace soon, darling.
DOOR KNOCK
How are you doing?
Okay.
Due for a break soon.
How about we grab a coffee?
No, thanks.
I just want to stay with David.
He's cold.
Clammy.
It's the air-conditioning.
I've got a blanket.
That's odd. It's higher than
when he came in.
It's the infection, Steph.
Even I know that.
Look, I just really want to be
alone right now. Please?
Sure.
Excuse me.
Mmm-hmm?
Have you done anything about
that medical certificate yet?
Thanks.
Honestly, how many times
do I have to ask for one?
I'm sorry, Mrs
Marchetti. Carmen's mother.
Room ten.
Oh, yes. Mrs Marchetti.
Listen, the clerk
isn't here right now.
I need a medical certificate.
It's important.
Yes
..we don't have
any certificates here right now.
Have I got something in my eye?
Why?
Oh, um no.
I'm sorry.
I tell you what, I'll look around
for one and get right back to you.
How's David?
He's still in a coma.
I think he might be hypoglycaemic.
I think he might be hypoglycaemic.
Have you checked his BSL?
Have you checked his BSL?
I'm on my way.
Hey, he looks like a guy I pulled
out of a car accident last week.
Mustafa. He was in an MVA
near the mall.
Broken collarbone,
internal injuries?
Anyway, what was I saying?
He's got his hand caught in a lathe.
He's freaking out about
where his fingers are.
So, I got underneath to find them.
I found all fingers
(choking)
..except his little pinkie.
And he was looking at me
with this look on his face.
I know you've heard this before,
Connor.
(gagging)
Are you alright?
(choking)
(choking)
Here, hold on. Hold on.
Here, hold on. Hold on.
(choking and gagging)
(amused laugh)
Thanks.
Anybody else need saving
while I'm about?
Oh, we'll manage.
I'll get you something
to drink, okay?
Ta.
Bloody idiot! Now we'll never hear
the end of this one either, will we?
TOILET FLUSHES
What are you doing?
I was worried about him
being clammy so I took his BSL.
He's hypo, Zoe.
A blood sugar level of 2.1.
He's probably a whole lot of
other things, too.
His body is falling apart, Steph.
Zoe, I'm just worried about him.
Has this ever happened before?
Has he a history of diabetes?
No, and what if he did?
He is still going to die.
Zoe, listen. I want what's best
for you and David.
Well, stop interfering, okay?
Just leave him alone.
Miss Hillerman?
Detective Constable Jane Carew.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Come this way.
Come this way.
Come on your own, have you?
Take a seat.
So, how can I help you?
Um
My boy my ex
..ex-boyfriend raped me.
I want him charged.
Okay. We'll see what we can do.
He'll probably deny it,
but it's true.
I can't
Let's take this
one step at a time.
Firstly, let's talk about
exactly what happened.
Confidentially, of course.
Then you can think about
making a formal statement.
How does that sound?
As long as he gets what he deserves.
We'll do all we can to help you,
I promise.
It's weird.
According to Zoe, he has no history
of hypoglycaemia or diabetes.
He may have secondaries
in his pancreas or liver.
What do you want to do about it?
Well, unless he's in any distress
There's no indication he is.
I don't see any reason to intervene,
he's terminal.
I know he's a friend, Steph,
but it might just be his time.
I was just passing.
I can see David now.
Now's not a good time,
but I could do with some lunch.
I've organised something.
I'm back on time.
Do you want to come?
I'll grab something here.
You sure?
Guess what?
What?
I had to do the Heimlich on Connor.
One month as an ambo,
she thinks she's Wonder Woman.
I wish I'd choked.
Well, I hope you're happy
with yourself.
What have I done?
You've got me fixated on
Paula Marchetti's eyes.
You checked out her files?
No. I believe I checked HER out.
What?
Look, she asked me a question.
And apart from making absolutely
no sense when I answered her,
I couldn't stop staring at her eyes.
I think she thinks I'm nuts.
And what exactly were you
hoping to see there, Terri?
Jenny's corneas, by any chance?
You put that stupid idea in my head.
It was a stupid idea.
(chortles) It was stupid, wasn't it?
It would be nice to think, though,
that Paula Marchetti
has one redeeming feature.
There would be two.
(chuckles)
Oh, you go.
You sure?
You're such a gentleman.
Oh, what do you expect?
After all, I did go to a top school.
As you already seem to know.
It's funny, I don't recall having
mentioned what school I went to.
Oh, you know what it's like
round here.
From what I heard I just assumed
you went to a private school.
Yeah. That must be it.
And I've seen your car.
There's not many nurses from around
here who drive one like that.
It's funny, though,
I haven't stumbled across
any titbits about your private life.
You'll have to keep your eyes and
ears open from now on, won't you?
I could always ask you directly.
What makes you think
I'd tell you anything?
Well, I'm sure everything you told
me will stand up to investigation.
So, what happens now?
I have to be honest with you. The
incident occurred a fortnight ago.
We have no forensic evidence.
We probably won't even be able
to prove that you had intercourse,
let alone a sexual assault occurred.
I don't get it.
I'm just letting you know
the situation.
If the case goes to court,
it's going to boil down to
your word against his.
You were great the other night.
What do you mean "if"?
There's a lot we have to get through
before it goes that far.
No!
We have to investigate your claims.
And if we can find enough evidence
to lay charges,
then the case will go to trial.
In which case you'll be called in
as a witness.
But I'm not a witness,
I'm the victim.
That's just terminology.
In the eyes of the law
you are a witness
in a crime against the state.
It's like I don't even exist.
No, it's not.
Look, why don't we
just get your full statement
and then worry about
what happens next, huh?
We may need to reassess
if his condition changes,
otherwise we'll let nature
run its course.
That's what I tried to tell Steph.
We should just leave him be.
Thanks.
I'll leave you alone.
I'm looking for Stephanie.
I'm sorry. I've been out.
How did you go?
I'm sorry I was gone so long.
It's alright.
What happened?
Nothing.
Jaz
Nothing.
Nothing's going to happen.
I left it too late.
I have no evidence.
It was pointless giving a statement.
PHONE RINGS
Ward 17, Jaz speaking.
No, I don't know
what the problem is.
We sent it to the lab this morning.
Steph, thank God.
Is everything okay? Is David
No, no.
He ticked the box on his licence
about donating his organs.
I don't want anybody
to have any part of him.
Zoe
I know it's his choice.
But that was before he got sick.
Things are different now and he
would tell you himself if he could.
And, um, it's also my decision.
I want to be sure
everybody else understands
Zoe, calm down. It's alright.
It's alright.
This cancer means his organs
aren't suitable for donation.
Alright.
So, it is ruled out entirely?
Yes.
In any case, I wouldn't let them
do anything without your approval.
Okay.
Come on. Let's get you some lunch.
My shout.
No, no, I'm fine.
Are you sure everything's alright?
Yeah.
Ben.
If this is about lunch,
don't get your knickers in a twist.
John, Bron and I
organised it ages ago.
It's not about that.
It's not about that.
It's David. He's been in a coma
for a couple of hours.
It's David. He's been in a coma
for a couple of hours.
I bet that's a relief,
for both of them.
It's a diabetic coma.
He's not a diabetic.
How's that?
Well, maybe it's caused by a system
breakdown or a dose of insulin.
The kids come in especially.
Zoe insists on being left alone
with David,
then suddenly he's in a coma.
She's furious when I try and do
his blood sugar level.
And she's acting strange
about not wanting organ donation
when David wanted to.
So, she's gone off the idea.
What if she's afraid of an autopsy
finding traces of insulin?
If there's no organ donation, there
is almost no chance of an autopsy.
They both wanted to end it.
It sounds like a pretty smart way
to go about it.
Now, just let it go.
I can't.
I've recorded his blood sugar levels
on the chart.
Luke knows and Terri knows.
It's too late.
So what?
What if insulin is found
in David's body?
It's the proof that
somebody tried to kill him.
You know, if David dies,
Zoe could be charged with murder.
If you revive him
and you're wrong
I guess there's
not much of a choice.
Carmen's in Recovery now,
so she'll be back soon.
And remember, I don't want
that man coming near her again.
Dr Morrison was trying
to help your daughter.
This hospital has caused
nothing but misery.
If I wasn't called in
for that transplant,
Carmen wouldn't be in this mess.
You were lucky you had a transplant.
You must be grateful someone
generously donated their corneas.
The donor was dead!
It's not as if
she actually needed them.
How do you know it was a she?
He, she, what difference
does it make?
I should have waited for
another donor.
Then Carmen might have
some sort of future.
I know. I know.
I won't give it another thought.
With someone like that
it won't be too hard.
Jaz, did you get
Mrs Oakley's X-rays?
Who?
Mrs Oakley. I would have got them
myself but I'm flat out.
When I get a chance, alright?
I'm busy, too.
Okay, sure.
Jaz, how are you feeling?
Look, if you don't
want to speak to Danny,
I can get someone else
to deal with Radiography.
Jaz?
There's nothing I can do.
He's gotten away with it.
That's it.
I should never have gone
to the police.
It was a stupid idea.
Jaz, you've done nothing wrong.
He's the guilty one.
Why am I the one
that keeps getting kicked?
He wins every single time.
Only if you let him.
Do you think I let him?
Do you think I let him rape me?
No, of course not.
Everyone else does.
That's not true.
Then, why can't anyone DO anything?
You know, if I'd gone
to the police earlier,
maybe I would have had a chance.
But now I don't have anything.
Jaz, you are protecting yourself
from more pain.
Now, you have nothing
to feel guilty about.
Oh, look
You're a better person
than he is, Jaz.
You're everything that he's not.
Don't let him punish you.
Don't be his victim.
Did he hurt you?
Sorry?
I know something happened
between you and Danny.
Well, I don't want to talk about it.
He raped me.
I wanted to tell you,
but I didn't think you'd believe me.
Yeah, I wouldn't have.
What if we both went to the cops?
They'd believe the both of us.
No, believing it isn't the problem.
Proving it is.
And Danny knows that.
I couldn't believe it
when he asked me out.
We had fun.
He bought me flowers.
And I was thinking,
"This guy is so great".
But he hurt me.
I wanted him to stop but he didn't.
Everybody tells you
that it's not your fault.
But it feels like it is.
And there's nothing
we can do about it.
Well, we could stick together.
You know, help each other out.
Yep.
I thought you might like
some fresh water.
Thanks.
If you like,
I can help you roll him.
I've already done it.
Zoe
..you know I care about you both.
Yeah, I know that.
I can't imagine how difficult
it's been for you and David.
Is there something
you should tell me?
About David?
About what's going on here?
Because if you have both
reached the point
where you couldn't bear it any more
and you just wanted it to end,
then I would understand.
We'd all understand.
Zoe, Zoe.
Just go, Steph. Please.
It's better if you just go, okay?
Please?
If we intervene, we'll only
prolong David's suffering.
You don't think I know that?
Look, I hope I'm wrong.
But if I'm right
and we don't do anything,
it won't just be Zoe
implicated in murder.
What do you think?
We don't have a choice.
We have to act on our suspicions.
Well, I can't treat it
unless I know what's causing it.
So, I'll take bloods and organise
a consultant to see him.
There's no time.
Steph's right.
We don't know how much insulin
he's been given, or when.
Okay. Set up a glucose.
Mrs Wilks.
We've decided to treat
David's hypoglycaemia after all.
We've decided to treat
David's hypoglycaemia after all.
He'll be taken to ICU
for monito
He'll be taken to ICU
for monitoring.
Why? You weren't
going to do anything.
We've discussed it and until
we discover what's causing it,
we have to treat it.
I don't want you to.
You didn't discuss it with me.
Zoe, it's better this way.
Please believe me.
Why? Why do you keep doing this?
Do you want him to keep suffering?
Just let him die, please.
Don't.
Please, Mrs Wilks.
I have to do this.
You always did this, didn't you?!
Why couldn't you
just leave us alone?
All through training you had
to do the right bloody thing.
Just leave him!
(sobs) Please don't do this to him.
Don't do this, please.
(distressed sobbing)
Oh, no.
Do you think she'll go to jail?
I hope not.
I think she deserves a medal.
If he was on a respirator,
she could have flicked the switch
and no-one would be wiser.
They should have used potassium -
harder to trace.
This is euthanasia we're talking
about - it's against the law.
This is euthanasia we're talking
about - it's against the law.
When did you guys get so preciou
We see guys dying every day.
When did you guys get so precious?
We see guys dying every day.
Exactly.
Death's not so bad -
it can be a blessing.
What if the next day you change your
mind, win Lotto, go into remission?
That reminds me of this guy
Ben and I got called out to.
He was told he had cancer
(weary) Rightio, I've got patients.
I'd better get back to it.
That reminds me of that patient
you're looking after in room six.
That reminds me of that patient
you're looking after in room six.
Mrs Gambino, yeah?
Mrs Gambino, yeah?
Don't you reckon she's been
in the foyer long enough?
Just about to go and do that
right now as a matter of fact.
Mrs Gambino.
Mrs Gambino.
Oh, my God!
(alarmed) Mrs Gambino!
What's wrong, Bron?
Can't you save her?
Don't disappoint us.
We want to see what a live
ambo's like in action.
You were right.
I shouldn't have nursed David.
You knew what would happen
if you spoke up.
I didn't have an option.
Then why beat yourself up about it?
They were my friends.
I want them to be happy.
Do you understand?
I just would have
done things differently.
Well, they weren't your friends,
as you point out.
You couldn't be bothered
visiting him.
That has got nothing to do with it.
Now, I'm here to try and help.
What do you want me to do?
A hug would be nice!
But I've obviously come
to the wrong place.
Did she amputate the President's leg
before the oil tanker blew up,
or after the building collapsed?
I thought she amputated both legs.
And one arm.
Luke, they're teasing me.
Well, you deserve it. Believe me.
Hey, thanks for today.
Thank you. It's good to be back.
So, I'll see you later?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Tough day.
What a thing to do.
Not you, too. I had no choice.
I meant Zoe.
I've been up to ICU.
David's been stabilised.
And Zoe?
I don't know what Admin will do but
there's a bit of support for her.
That's something.
None of this is your fault, Steph.
Ooh. Why do I feel so bad?
You wouldn't be human
if you didn't.
I ruined everything for them.
Zoe put you
in an impossible situation.
Yeah, but they were
my friends, Luke.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
(weeps)
