(SIRENS WAIL)
DEAN: How many were on the plane?
VINCE: It was a Wagga Wagga to Sydney flight,
carvying a pilot and three passengers.
It went down about two hours ago. Over.
DEAN: No visual, no obvious fire or smoke,
and obviously no fix on the transmitter.
VINCE: That's right, Deano.
With the incoming storm front and dense bush area, the choppers can't get in.
But according to eyewitnesses, it's somewhere within that radius.
So, for the moment, you're it.
Rescue Command out.
Let's go.
Alright, Rescue Team Alpha... that's me and Chase...
we're gonna head off on a bearing south 33° 34' 12.7".
You three, Bravo, head off on south 33° 34' 19.5".
- Got it? - Yep, got it.
- (PHONE BEEPS) - No signal down here.
If there are survivors, their phones won't help.
Yeah, good point. Radios only.
At 1400, if we've got nothing, we'll converge.
By then the choppers might have a chance.
- Let's go. - See you.
HEIDl: (SHOUTS) This is Rescue. Can anyone hear us?
LARA: Hello?
Hello!
Can you hear us?
Hello!
Can you hear us?
JORDAN: We are from Rescue. Can you hear us?
- (WHOOSH!) - Flare.
Rescue Team Alpha to Rescue Team Bravo. You guys see that?
Certainly did.
Let's go.
They've spotted a flare about 2 k's in between their positions.
Somebody's alive. That is great.
Vince, where do you keep your headache tablets around here?
In the cup where I keep my pencils.
Cup. Cup.
- Did you tie one on last night? - Oh, I wish.
No, between a crying baby and lan getting death threats,
it's pretty hard to get any sleep.
Michelle, lan's a cop. Van Heussen wouldn't dare.
I hope you're right.
What's the chance of actually getting a chopper in there?
(CHUCKLES) Any time soon?
Zero.
This is Rescue. Can you hear us?
- WOMAN: We're over here. - MAN: Yeah, we're here!
- Over here! - Here!
- We're over here! Please help. - MAN: Finally.
Chase, check out that guy there.
My foot's stuck. Please, my foot.
- MAN: I think it's my collarbone. - I'll take care of that. You'll be alright.
(LAUGHS) Yeah. Not while he's still around, mate.
Ever since school he's been a jinx.
Hey, look, it's alright for you, mate. All you've got is a busted collarbone.
You're not the one jammed here in your seat.
MAN: (SCOFFS) Getting on a plane with 'Jonah' Jones. What was I thinking?
You were thinking, "I don't have to pay.
"Jones is shouting the ticket." That's what you were thinking.
I'll assume you're the pilot.
- Shona Lankford. - Dean Gallagher.
Look, we were told you had three passengers.
One of them went over there to check for a phone signal.
Last thing we need is a lost hero.
Smell that? Avgas. Careful of the sparks.
Do you feel any pain? Anything that's obviously broken?
JONES: Yeah, my foot... it's wedged in.
- That looks like a fracture. - DEAN: Let's get you out.
You did an amazing job. It's a miracle no-one was badly hurt.
I just aimed for the smallest trees and got lucky, I guess.
Guys, we should be OK here.
Jordan, Lara, go see if you can find the other passenger, yeah?
What? Hey.
(SHOUTS) Hey, where are you going? Guys.
Hey, you haven't got me out yet.
I'm gonna give you something for the pain, OK, Shona?
Sit tight.
(SIGHS)
DEAN: It's going slowly here, Vince.
We've got a lot of fuel splashed around and I don't want to create any sparks.
Yeah, copy that, Deano. Rescue Command out.
MAN: Excuse me.
We had a mate on the plane that went down.
Any word on survivors?
All passengers have survived.
- Bloody miracle. - That's great news.
Yeah. Well, they're not out of the woods yet... literally.
Are they being airlifted out?
- Chopper can't get in yet. - (PHONE RINGS)
They might have to walk them out. Sorry, fellas, I'm working here.
Your mate's a lucky guy.
SONG: # Mmm, mmm, mmm
# Real dark and dirty
# Gonna get a little dirty, yeah
# I'm gonna get a little
# Dirty, yeah
# Gonna get a little dirty. #
LARA: (SHOUTS) Mr Howard.
Charles!
This is Rescue.
Over here. Look at this. Check it out.
Huh? What do you make of that?
Maybe this way. What do you reckon?
JONES: Can't you just cut it away or?
Well, we had to abseil in. We travelled light.
Ask that pilot, mate.
Surely she's got some sort of lever or wrench or something.
Yeah, we don't want to make any sparks that could ignite the fuel.
- Chase... - What? Hey.
Look, you have to get me off this plane.
Get me out right now!
Charles. Charles, we are from Rescue. Can you hear us?
Hello!
- Jordan. - Mmm?
Here. Charles! Charles Howard?
- Are you police? - We're from Rescue. I'm Lara.
- Did you find the others? - Yes, we did.
- Are you injured at all? - I twisted my knee, but it's fine.
Do you copy, Alpha?
Yeah, thanks, Jordan. I'll let Vince know.
Aren't planes supposed to have some sort of a beacon thing?
Because of the weather conditions, it wasn't easy to get a fix.
Of all the flights to get on. I can't believe it.
You should be thanking your lucky stars.
Yeah. What lucky stars?
Mate, at school they called me 'Jonah the Jonas'.
Whatever class I was in, you could guarantee the worst teacher.
I mean, that's the least of it. This one, he was the ringleader.
So what are you two doing hanging out?
There's a class reunion.
He found out that I was getting on the same plane, right?
He was gonna get off. So I thought, "I'll shout him the ticket.
"Maybe we could talk old times."
No. Clearly nothing's changed, has it?
At least you don't have a broken collarbone.
I should have known getting on a plane with you
was gonna cause us to get some bimbo pilot.
Mate, you should be grateful she got you down
with your arse still attached to your head.
Yeah, or up it, as the case may be.
Lara... as in Lara of 'Doctor Zhivago'?
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Mum was a big fan.
She made me watch that movie with her every Christmas.
(CHUCKLES) And your dad?
Nah, Dad wasn't a fan.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS) Fathers and daughters, eh?
Mine hasn't spoken to me in 12 years.
Bronwyn blames me.
Says I wasn't there for her. (CHUCKLES)
Thank you.
Dean wants me back at the wreck. Are you gonna be right?
- Yeah, I'll walk Charles out. - OK.
- OK. You want me to take that? - No, no, it's fine.
Thank you.
Vince, what is the name of that passenger Lara's bringing in?
VINCE: Hold on.
- Howard. Charles Howard. - Yeah, I thought so.
The police say there's nobody of that name
at the address the airline gave them.
Someone might have written it down wrong.
(COMPUTER BLEEPS)
Oh, what?
I've just lost all my screens.
- (COMPUTER BLEEPS) - We did too.
- (PHONE RINGS) - Michelle Letorneau.
Hi, Bryce. Yeah. No, same here.
Right.
Looks like the whole of Rescue's gone down.
It must be the main server.
Keep you posted.
(TAPS KEYBOARD) Oh, damn.
Back to the Middle Ages, boys and girls.
CHARLES: Well, I clocked up a million frequent flyer points,
very few of her birthday parties, recitals or pony gymkhanas.
- Though, I did buy the pony. - You bought a pony?
- I tell you what. They eat like a horse. - (LAUGHS)
So what's the prob with your dad?
- I didn't say there was a problem. - Didn't have to.
- Are you a psychologist? - I'm an accountant.
- Is he still alive? - Yes, very much.
Mum died a couple of years ago, so it's just the two of us now.
All the more reason to work it out.
Listen, Charles, you seem like a really... cool guy and all that,
but I just don't want to talk about my personal stuff with you.
To perfect strangers, of course not.
But I'm far from perfect.
Someone who doesn't know you, doesn't have an axe to grind.
I just... I don't want to talk.
Is your father trying to mend things?
No.
I mean, no, I don't want to talk about this.
Alright? (SIGHS)
DEAN: Now, push. (GROANS)
VINCE: Rescue Command to Rescue Team Leader. How's it going?
Slow.
Yeah, well, we just lost all our electrics, so bear with me.
It's back to paper and pen over here. Over.
(JORDAN GROANS)
Hey, um, don't you guys, like, do weights?
Don't you have a Nautilus or something?
There's gotta be something we can dismantle it with or something, eh?
(CRUNCH!)
- Can you guys hurry up? - JORDAN: Yes!
I'm trying to find a tool to get the bloody chair out.
- Uh, Heidi. - What?
Sh...
Ahem. Heidi, just stay really still.
There's a snake behind your head.
Come on, guys, do you think this is the time for levity?
Uh, describe it.
It's kind of grey.
That's brown. It's... brown.
- You reckon? - Um... Hey, there is a snake.
- Has it got stripes? - Uh...
- No, not really. - OK, it sounds like a brown snake.
They're not very pleasant, so everyone just stay very...
Jordan, no! Jordan... (QUIETLY)... no.
Either you're gonna bash my brains out or you'll provoke it, alright?
- Just stay... still. - Alright, OK.
JONES: (GROANS) Snake on a plane.
No, yeah, of course. I mean, this is perfect.
Hopefully it'll just, you know, crawl back.
Guys!
Where's it going?
- Where is... - CHASE: Just don't move.
- (JONES GROANS) - HEIDl: (WHISPERS) Just stay still.
- Where's the snake going? - Just stay very still.
(WHIMPERS)
You gotta get me... Get me outta here...now!
(SIGHS) Well, the bond between father and daughter is pretty special, right?
I mean, you want to forgive your dad, don't you?
I hope my daughter's easier to crack than her.
- Aarggh! - Charles, are you OK?
I sold my house. $1.2 mill.
- Paid in cash? - Yeah, Chinese buyer, insisted on it.
- Feng shui. - Feng shui?
Sounds like absolute 'bull shui' to me. Who pays cash for a house?
You're implying that he's a criminal.
The police could look into it for you.
Actually, that's a bit of a problem because of stamp duty.
See, we agreed that the official sale price
should be somewhat less than what it was.
Were you even going for help when we found you,
or just protecting that cash of yours?
Has anyone ever told you you're extremely judgemental, Lara?
Got that from my dad.
The money's for my daughter.
So she'll forgive you?
It's completely dodgy, what you're doing. It's illegal.
True. But I've got some health issues.
I've got cancer.
This money... is for my girl.
- Every last cent of it. - Cancer?
Of course. So, um... you're actually undergoing treatment for that?
- Mm-hm. - Mmm.
Please, don't treat me like a victim.
I'll do my best.
Rescue Command to Rescue Team Leader. Over.
DEAN: Go ahead, Vince.
Good news, bad news, mate.
The chopper has found a rendezvous point. That's the good news.
It's approximately 3 k's from your current position
at 33° 35' 10.3" south by 151 ° 5' 13.2" east.
- Over. - Yeah, copy that.
You've got 30 minutes to make it.
That's it. After that the chopper bails. It'll be too dark.
That's the bad news. Over.
Alright, we better get a move on, then. Rescue Team Leader out.
Come on! It's a waste of time. The bloke's a bloody jinx anyway.
You just want to be quiet and let us get on with our job?
Oh! (GROANS)
(COMPUTER BLEEPS)
Beauty.
Rescue Command to Rescue Base. The power is back on.
MICHELLE: This is Rescue Base. Same here.
But don't get too excited.
IT warn that our computers could be all over the shop.
That'd be right.
Alright, that should do it.
DEAN: Alright, on three. One, two, three.
(GROANS) About time.
JORDAN: Watch the glass on the way out, buddy.
OK, easy. Easy, easy, easy.
Oh, wait up. No, my leg's gone to sleep.
- OK, hang on, hang on, hang on. - Mate, my leg.
Alright, we've got 20 minutes, guys. Let's get a move on.
- Jordan. - Yeah?
OK, let's move... now!
- OK, let's go. Go, go, go, go. - Ow!
CHARLES: So, what happened? Did he lock you in the cellar?
Ban you from Barbie dolls?
Come on, Lara. I told you my secrets.
LARA: No, it was nothing like that, alright?
(SIGHS) It's just whatever I do is never good enough, you know?
I was a gymnast and I was... I was good.
But there were a couple of other girls that were better,
and Dad could never accept that.
So, eventually I quit and I joined Rescue.
And ever since then, he's just been so disappointed in me.
He's never forgiven me. I just want to make him proud, that's all.
Hey... he just wanted the best for you.
(CHUCKLES) You weren't really there, OK? So I don't think you can comment.
By the sounds of it, you weren't there for Bronwyn either...
I don't know what your dad might have given up for you.
Maybe he wanted to be a bass player,
jump out of aeroplanes.
But I bet you he gave up something that he loved.
And you know why?
Because he loved you more.
- Funny way of showing it. - Who's perfect?
Who's perfect?
Maybe he didn't want you to wake up one day and feel disappointed in yourself.
Much easier to be disappointed in him.
VINCE: Alpha Team's making their way south-east towards the rendezvous.
MICHELLE: (GROANS) This is impossible!
I ask it to start up a spreadsheet and up comes some other program.
I figured you might need some help, so I put in a call.
Fat lot of good that's gonna do.
IT said it could be Wednesday before they can send any help.
That's why I called an expert.
- (COMPUTER BLEEPS) - Hi. Vince said you might need help.
- Renae? - This is what I do.
Fantastic. Come in. Be my guest, please.
- Hey, Vince. - Hey. Thanks for helping out, darling.
I'm gonna have to make you a very fine meal
and give you an even finer massage when I get back.
(MICHELLE GIGGLES)
JONES: Then there was year six. Yeah, it was a coach trip to Coffs.
This truck carrying bananas overturns, right,
and our coach literally ploughs straight into the bananas, skids off the road.
Mate, I'm not joking. You know, like, this is my life.
CHASE: Yeah, everyone has bad luck. You should've had him as a brother.
DEAN: What are you blaming me for now?
CHASE: Let me see. Where should I start?
How about, OK, when you stole Dad's beer,
so he tore up the grand final tickets he bought us?
DEAN: What about, "Thanks for hooking me up with Monica Dale"?
Monica Da... Yeah, her boyfriend was bloody King Kong.
(GROANS) I don't feel very well.
DEAN: I gave you my car. Such an ingrate!
The rego cost more than the car was worth.
- Guys! - Go, Chase. Go, go, go.
HEIDl: What's the matter?
Hey, Vince, we're coming up to the fire trail.
Do you want me to take Mr Howard to the ambulance?
VINCE: Negative. Unless he's injured.
I'd like to keep the ambulance here on stand-by.
Might be best if you drop him at the hospital.
(GASPS) Get down, get down, get down.
Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?
I didn't quite tell you the whole story.
What?
Sorry.
HEIDl: Can you tell me what the matter is?
My ankle is throbbing.
And I'm blurry.
What's happening?
You've got a snakebite.
Whoa. Even for me that's a first.
OK, I just need you to stay still and try to relax.
We're gonna splint your leg to the other, OK?
Mm-hm.
Am I gonna be alright?
HEIDl: As long as we get that bandage in place, you should be OK.
Do you remember a sharp pain in your ankle?
Mm-hm. At the plane.
How long ago?
Ohh, 15 minutes ago.
Rescue Team Leader to Rescue Command.
Vince, we've got a snakebite victim here.
The bite was about 15 minutes ago.
Can you make sure the chopper has antivenom? Over.
LARA: This had better be good.
Technically the money belongs to my boss, Damian Coghlan.
- He's the crook. - And you're not?
Well, I administered his accounts in a creative way, for tax purposes.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
Lara, I need to make peace with my girl.
I thought if I give her the money, she'd forgive me.
I'm calling the cops. Don't stop me!
Let me turn myself in, then.
- Please? - No way. You are absolutely crazy.
Please?
Lara, I've got 12 months, at most.
- If I go to jail... - I don't believe you. Do you get that?
I'm sure I don't have to explain blood cell counts to you.
Does the helicopter have the antivenom?
VINCE: Affirmative.
It'll be tight, but they should make the rendezvous. Over.
I'll stay tuned. Over.
Never a dull moment with you guys.
Oh, it's not always like this.
You know, it's funny.
When lan and I broke up, it hurt, but now I'm so happy with Vince,
and you and lan are going great guns.
I'll be happier if Eddy van Heussen wasn't threatening lan.
- Yeah, he's a serious criminal. - Oh, yeah.
I want lan to take a break till he's out of the picture, but he won't.
He's as stubborn as a mule.
Tell me about it.
Well, you can put the biro down.
- This one's ready. - Yeah?
Fantastic.
CHASE: Alright, we have six minutes to meet the rendezvous.
DEAN: Yeah, we can do it in six minutes. (SIGHS)
Or not.
That cliff's not supposed to be there.
Yeah, no, we're not doing that in six minutes.
Deano, apologies.
That grid reference we've got, it's out.
- Can the chopper wait for us, Vince? - That's a negative.
It's impossible for the chopper to land. And this wind, can't winch in. Over.
They can drop the antivenom in a canister with a parachute.
Make sure it has a light and some audio alarm.
Copy that, HQ.
Rescue Command to Rescue Helicopter Alpha Echo 4-0. Over.
MACK: Yeah, this is Mack. I've been following the radio chatter.
Now, listen, we're preparing the antivenom for a drop.
We've got a small clearing at 33° 34' 48.9" south
by 151° 5' 37.4" east.
Yeah, it's about a click that way. Go, go.
Good luck. Over.
Jai, can you wriggle your fingers for me?
Jai, can you hear me? Jai?
Keep him hydrated.
(BEEPING)
Rescue Portable 4... I found it.
Hello, Chase. I estimate less than 10 minutes to administer. Over.
(GROANS)
What's going on, Chase? Have you got it?
Not yet.
Got it!
MICHELLE: This is Rescue Command.
Dean, there could be a chance that the patient will go into anaphylactic shock.
Adrenaline is on stand-by.
Copy that.
And you can't inject the polyvalent into the drip line.
(PANTS)
You need to administer intravenously with saline
at 30 drops per minute with a burette set.
We've got four ampoules.
Initial dose... one ampoule.
HEIDl: OK, we've got IV access.
Give the IV over 30 minutes.
Monitor his obs and watch for an increase in blood pressure.
If there's no change, go to a second ampoule.
Copy that. Over.
They'll wait there all day.
Well... we'll wait longer.
We need a better plan.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRS IN DISTANCE)
Stay here.
Excuse me.
We're looking for a friend that was on the plane that went down.
- I heard they all survived. - Yeah, apparently.
But I don't know how critical their injuries are.
That's them being evacuated now.
Do you know where they're taking them?
- Uh... St Mark's, I think. - Thanks.
No worries.
Don't make me regret this.
BP's stable. Heart rate's returning to normal.
Swelling's going down too.
That's good, right?
Yep. It means it's working.
Alright, we'll have to haul him up before dark. We'll do a flat pull.
Jordan, you and I head up the top, set up the five-to-one.
Heidi, Chase, prep the guide lines, yeah?
- Just keep it high. - Yep, yep.
Anchors are set and secure. Karabiners squeezed.
- Brake? - Brake in situ.
Alright.
- OK. - You good?
- Yep. - Alright, hang on.
Good to go.
(WHISTLES)
- You ready? - Yeah.
OK, pull.
Pull.
Pull. Pull.
You hang in there, Jai. You're gonna be fine.
Pull.
Pull. Pull.
Slight overhang.
DEAN: 2 metres.
Nice and easy. Nice and easy.
Pull. Alright, almost there.
OK.
- Got your rope? - Yep.
- OK.
Alright, Chase, bring up the others.
VINCE: Patient has responded to the antivenom.
They have made the plateau safely,
and the chopper will lift them first thing tomorrow.
Oh, well done.
Well done to the whole team. It's just a great job.
And, Vince, I have to say that Renae is an absolute gun.
My computer's working better than it was before.
Look after her. We're supposed to be going to dinner tonight.
Will do.
Hello!
My sis volunteered to mind James.
Oh, how is he?
Oh, he's fast asleep.
I just thought you needed some nourishment.
I'm starving.
- (CHUCKLES) - Mmm.
Michelle, the whole system's back in business.
Ooh. And you're not doing so bad out here yourself. Hi, lan.
Um, I'll leave you to it.
Oh, no, come on. Come and have some takeaway.
Knowing lan, you would have bought tons, yeah?
No, no, I don't want to interrupt. It's fine.
The radio will do that.
And Vince told me you two were supposed to be dining out tonight.
So, please, it is the least we can do.
Well, it does smell good.
Oh, come on... eat.
OK. (GIGGLES)
Let me get this straight.
You're driving around with a million bucks in a sack
and some criminal accountant who's got armed guys after him?
LARA: Yep. Pretty much.
I'm not absolutely certain they were armed.
Could have been a mobile phone.
Anyway, we've lost them now, so...
And, um... it's actually... it's a little over $1 million.
Take him to the cops, Lara.
How many times have you told me? We're not the police.
Alright, OK, just drive off, leave him.
I can't. I've got the money in here with me.
What, he just went to the gents and left you with $1 million?
He trusts me.
Great. That's nice. Lara, just go... now.
OK, listen, I'm just gonna take him to his daughter's house, alright?
You just concentrate on your snakebite guy.
And I'll speak to you soon. OK, bye.
- OK, Lara, look. Hey, don't you... - (HANGS UP)
(SNIGGERS, GROANS)
- Calling your dad? - My Rescue partner.
Who thinks I should turn you in immediately.
Here's your chance.
Not yet. (STARTS ENGINE)
I'm taking you to Bronwyn's, then we're going straight to the police, OK?
You know, if your dad's retired, you could employ him... reduce your tax.
- Employ him as what? - A consultant.
He doesn't know anything about rescue.
No consultants know anything about anything.
It's just a word to explain spending public money.
I mean, how much do you earn?
- Roughly? - What?
- I can help you. - I really doubt you can.
How do I know you're not lying about this daughter of yours?
Maybe the money's for your mistress.
Maybe your mistress is married to some heavy,
and that's what this is all really about.
I'm an accountant. We don't have mistresses.
Bon appétit.
How was your takeaway?
Very nice.
Say goodnight to Renae for me.
Will do.
Gotta say... you're looking good.
You too.
Michelle told me about Van Heussen.
Yeah. (SIGHS)
I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you.
To be honest, I don't feel like anything's changed between us.
What are you doing?
I've got a kid. You're going out with Vince.
Yeah, but what they don't know...
What I have with Michelle and James,
I would never, ever risk losing.
That's the one.
Well, in you go.
Nah, she's probably cooking dinner.
Let's go.
Charles...
I can't do this.
We're not leaving here until you talk to your daughter.
OK. Well, just let me give her 100 grand, that's it.
No, that's not what it's about. You have to see her, alright?
Just leave the money here.
Without it, she will slam the door in my face.
I don't know Bronwyn, but I know what I'd want my dad to do.
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
(KNOCKS LIGHTLY)
(DOOR SHUTS)
How come I have to be the one who shares a tent with Jones?
- So you do reckon he's bad luck? - He's just bad company.
He told me he's gonna transfer his bad luck to me.
So far he's spot-on, 'cause I'm the one sharing with him.
Alright, OK.
- (SNAP!) - Short straw is in with Jones.
- (SNAP!) - OK?
- Sucked in, Chase. - Yeah.
So this means I bunk with the chick, yeah?
No, mate. I'm senior.
JONES: Drew the short straw, eh?
Yep, looks like your bad luck's started already.
No. See, man, the problem is just your negativ...
Aarggh!
- Chase! - Chase!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy. Whoa, whoa. How did we miss that?
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
(SHOUTS) Chase.
I'm wedged. I can't move my arms.
Alright, Chase, we'll get you out of there.
- OK, back it up, guys. Take it easy. - Hang in there, man.
JONES: This is my fault. All of this is my fault.
Hey, hey, just... be quiet, OK?
How are we gonna do this without an Ozpod?
Do what we did in the old days, mate. First the A-frame.
Cut or collect pieces of wood the same length for the verticals.
Use your abseiling ropes. Cut them to bind them.
DEAN: Get the pulley ready.
Now you've got to improvise a harness.
Use your abseiling tape.
That's it. A bit more.
Yeah, pulley... hook it in. Hook it in.
- That's it. You're right. - Good to go.
And then, you just gotta get down there.
That's tight. There's no way I'm gonna fit down there.
Where's Lara when we need her?
She's not here, so we're gonna have to figure something else out.
Let me guess. No-one can squeeze down.
Well, I could do it.
Well, I mean, I can fit in that hole.
HEIDl: He is the smallest.
OK.
When you get down there, put this harness under his arms.
- And around his chest, yeah? - Yeah.
- OK, come on. - We won't drop you.
It's alright, I'll pass it around.
- OK. - DEAN: Alright, I've got the belay.
- Go? - Yep.
Oh, here goes nothing.
OK, nice and easy.
How's it going, Heids?
Thank you, man.
Oh, you really do have bad luck.
The only guy that can get to you is a jonah.
Hey, you're no jonah, man.
(CHUCKLES) You don't believe that.
Yeah, I do. You're gonna get me out of this.
I'm gonna try.
Hold it there.
Yeah, just relax. I'm not going anywhere.
Yep, that's it, mate. You're doing great.
- Good work. - Chase, how you going?
Oh, yeah. Well done.
- (LAUGHS) What? I did it? - Yeah.
- Like an expert. - (SIGHS)
- I'll see you up there. - OK.
Karabiner's locked.
OK. Alright, start the retrieval.
That's it. Pull through.
That's it.
OK, whoa, whoa.
Hey, I did it. (LAUGHS)
- You did a great job. - I did it!
- (SIGHS) - OK, now you can get off me.
Hang in there, Chase.
Alright, Chase, here we go.
(GROANS)
Hey, don't you guys want me back?
- Jordan. - Yep.
- Right? - Yep.
Ha! There you go. You got it.
That's it. Easy, easy.
Alright, Heidi, grab his arms.
- There we go. - (GROANS) Alright.
- OK? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
Chase is OK, yeah?
No, that is great news. Thanks, Heidi. OK. (HANGS UP)
Was that Vince?
He's trying to get a few hours' sleep.
I don't know how you guys do it.
You too.
It was fun, Michelle. Thanks.
It was great to chat with you, lan.
I'd better get back to James. Relieve my sister.
You give that boy of ours a great big kiss from me.
Mmm.
It's kind of crazy how things work out, hey?
You know, nothing planned, but I end up with a beautiful boy and...
...the best woman in the world.
I'm pretty happy too.
I don't know if I should say anything.
Renae kinda came on to me a bit earlier.
I didn't send any signals.
I believe you.
No secrets between us, hey?
No secrets.
- I'll see you at home. - OK.
(DIALS NUMBER)
(RINGING TONE)
MAN: Lakeshore Retirement Home. Hello.
Hello? Can I help you?
(HANGS UP)
How'd it go?
- Really well. - (BOTH LAUGH)
So, did you... did you tell her about...
The cancer? No. No, why spoil it?
OK.
What do you reckon... 50/50 split?
I reckon I could pack a lot of fun into 12 months.
Charlie, come on.
Alright.
Before you drop me off at the cops, I'm starving.
(STARTS ENGINE) Alright... last stop. That's it.
I seem to be a little short.
He'll never miss it.
Come on.
(TYRES SCREECH)
Charlie!
I've got a MVA. Got a pedestrian hit.
I'm gonna need an ambulance on the corner of Mawalla and Orange.
- (TYRES SCREECH) - MAN: Go, go, go. Get the money!
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. You're OK.
(TYRES SCREECH)
Come on, Charles. OK.
An ambulance is on its way.
Alright. Eyes on me.
It's a bit late.
No, it's not, OK?
Charlie, you hang in there, alright? For Bronwyn.
Think of Bronwyn, alright? She needs you.
It's OK, Lara. I made peace.
So should you.
(QUIETLY) OK, just stay with me, alright?
So should you.
Stay with me. I'm right here, OK?
Don't you go anywhere.
Charlie, you stay with me. Charlie!
(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
(SIREN CONTINUES WAILING)
MACK: This is Rescue Helo. Ready to evacuate snakebite victim.
We've loaded Jai onto the chopper.
The other two will hike out with us. What about Lara? Is she OK?
VINCE: Yeah, she's good. She's gone home for a sleep. Over and out.
Sorry we couldn't come any earlier.
Yeah, things got a bit hairy there.
Heard you encountered a snake.
- Mm-hm, it slithered all over me. - Did he?
(CHUCKLES)
I'll catch you tonight, then, eh?
- Hit a band? - Yeah, sounds great.
Wind the chopper up. On my way out.
He sure is sexy.
SHONA: (GROANS) Oh, here I go... cannon fodder.
Well, you got that plane down. You just remember that, OK?
Cheer up. Got some good PR for a change.
Hey, Vince?
- About Renae... - She's pretty amazing, isn't she?
Um... don't offer her any money. She'll be really embarrassed.
DEAN: OK, look, I know you've all got a job to do,
but, please, these people have been through a pretty rough 24 hours
and they may not want to answer all of your questions.
Now, what I'd like to say, though,
is that this man here, and this woman,
in my opinion, are heroes.
Miss Lankford landed her plane in near-impossible terrain,
while Mr Jones was instrumental in retrieving one of our own
when we faced a life-and-death situation.
It's been an honour and a privilege to work with them both.
That's all I'd like to say. Thank you.
MAN: Can I ask a few questions over here, please?
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
You're with me now.
OK, guys. Now, one at a time...
- (GROANS) - ALL: Oh!
WOMAN: Are you right, mate?
I'm good.
- You tried. - Yeah.
JONES: OK, what happened was...
Hello, Dad.
Oh! Well...
Poker's much more fun.
This is a really nice surprise.
I was just thinking about you and how good you were at gym.
Oh, Dad...
(BOTH CHAT QUIETLY)
