(SIREN WAILS)
Rescue Helo to Rescue Base, we're over the ravine.
We're goin' in.
(SIREN WAILS)
Rescue 1 to Rescue Base.
We're coming up on our location now.
Just waiting for a sighting from the chopper.
Rescue Helo to all units.
I've got a sighting of the two individuals.
(PEOPLE SHOUT)
Trees are obscuring the injured party.
They're at 33.36.53 south.
150.33.14 east.
Bureau's predicting a big front moving in.
What's the wind like up there?
Well, we're getting some serious gusts up here. Swirling winds.
Yeah, it's wind shear.
Rescue Helo to Rescue Base. Vince?
We've got winds exceeding 60km/h with gusts exceeding 30km/h.
That's too high for a short-haul rescue. Over.
Yeah. Copy that. I'm gonna try and come in from the south.
Can you do that? I can give it a red-hot go.
Here. Give it to me.
Rescue Base to Rescue Helo. Pull out.
Rescue Helo. Say again, Michelle.
Yeah, your orders are to abort the mission.
Rescue Helo.
We're lined up, Jordan's about to winch down. I can do this, Michelle.
Uh, it's out of my hands, Heidi. This is to do with the Minister.
Rescue Helo to Rescue Base, we are over the target.
Jordan is ready to winch down and retrieve the injured party.
Are you sure you want me to abort? MICHELLE: Affirmative.
Those are your orders.
Just drop Jordan at the top and head back to Base. Yeah?
Roger that, Rescue Base. Over.
I don't know what the hell's goin' on.
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
Get the rest of the team down there ASAP.
VINCE: (ON RADIO) Rescue Base to Rescue 1. Change of plans.
Heidi and Jordan can't perform the evacuation.
We need you to get down there. Over.
Got all that, Vince. We're going in now. Rescue 1 out.
What's that all about?
I don't know, but if Jordan can't get down there, we're gonna need to.
Fast.
Alright, head in that way.
Life Blood?
Cowboys. What are they even doin' here?
No way.
Who is that?
I don't know, but whoever it is, I'm getting there first.
Come on, go, go, go.
Oi! What are you doin'? This is Rescue's job.
Not anymore.
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. #
We can't get the rocks off him. We don't know what happened.
What's Life Blood doing here, anyway?
Showing you how it's done, obviously.
Excuse me? Listen, talk to my boss.
I don't have time to explain. What's your name?
His name's Jeremy Jacobs, mate. I've got it under control.
Qualified paramedic, eh?
You guys can help, if you like,
but he's my client, so I'm taking him out.
Client? You mean patient, right? How about we make sure he lives first?
Dean, he's brachycardic. I think he's having a heart attack.
Jeremy? Jeremy? Can you hear me? Step back, please.
Why are Life Blood muscling in on our rescue?
They're private - mines, Western Australia. What are they doing here?
I don't know. But the, uh, Minister won't take my call.
You know they closed another station over the weekend?
Yeah, Alexandria. That must be what this is all about.
Closing another station or two, yeah, maybe, but the rescue chopper?
She wouldn't hand that over to Life Blood, would she?
Jordan, give us a hand here.
On three.
Yep. Fast as you can. One, two, three.
Can you give me some room, please? I know how to treat a crushed leg.
If you'd done more than a 2-day course,
you'd see he doesn't have a crushed leg.
No major fractures, no crush injury,
just a superficial leg wound.
Well, how did a rockslide cause a heart attack?
It didn't. It must have happened before the fall.
OK, what was he like before he fell? Was he breathless at all?
Yeah. Yeah, he was a bit. Well, why didn't you say something?
Oh, well, because I'm not gonna tell the CEO he's unfit, am I?
Why would I do that? OK. OK.
Was there anything else? Was he holding his chest, his arm?
He was rubbing his shoulder a little bit.
Oh, was he? Why didn't you say something?
I thought his pack was giving him trouble.
No, that was his heart giving him trouble.
We need to get him to a hospital fast as we can.
Alright, no worries. I'll call our chopper.
He's our patient. We'll take him in the Patrol.
Look, we were here first, so, like I said, we're taking him out.
Thanks for your help.
Life Blood 1 to Life Blood Helo. Ready for that medivac.
MAN: (ON RADIO) That's a negative, Life Blood 1.
Wind gusts are too strong. Can't hold position over the ravine.
Can you land at the top of the hill? MAN: (ON RADIO) Affirmative.
We'll meet you at the top. Life Blood Helo out.
What's the plan, huh? You gonna carry him out on your own?
Nope. You're gonna help me. Says who?
The Minister. She insists Life Blood flies the patient out.
Are you serious? Why?
She wants to see full cooperation between Rescue and Life Blood.
Apparently, your patient is now a Life Blood client.
(SIGHS) Copy that. Rescue 1 out.
Alright, let's get him to the extraction point.
I should go with him. No way.
I'm his 2IC, I should go with him.
No-one's going with him. There's no room in the chopper.
Prepare to lift. And lift. No, no, I need his phone.
I'll have to inform his wife, his business partners...
Hey, hey, I should be making those calls.
Hey! Hey! Hey, guys, guys. Out of the way.
You right?
(WOMAN SIGHS)
Alright, you ready?
That's the way. Nice and steady coming over the lip there.
When am I gonna see you out of that uniform?
Excuse me?
Can I take you out for a drink later?
Are you serious? Come on. Why not?
(SCOFFS)
Oh, I don't know. I could only think of, like, a million reasons.
Righto. Well, out of those million, how about you give me one?
Who do you think you are?
Cam Jackson. Life Blood unit leader.
27 years old. Scorpio.
Dog lover. Surfer.
Love Italian food.
So, there you go. Now you know me.
I'm not interested in being mates.
Good. Neither am I.
Right. You ready?
Jordan, wait. Slowly, slowly.
And lower.
Lower.
Get him to the Life Blood chopper.
(WOMAN SCREAMS)
OK, let's go. Get me down there.
Lara, I'm coming back down!
Sir, move away from the edge. Stuart, what happened?
I don't know. I don't know what happened.
Move away from the edge, alright.
Is she OK?
DEAN: What happened? I don't know.
Got her? Yeah. She's down there.
DEAN: She moving? No.
What do you think you're doing? Watch and learn, Pops.
That's all we need - your new best mate being a hero.
He's not my mate. Oh, really?
You know, guys like that, Lara, you're like a moth to a flame.
I am not. Watch him.
Fran, can you hear me? Fran?
Alright, mate, jump out of the way.
I know how to do a nose-to-toes.
Got any methoxy?
Huh? Can you treat pain? Even know how to diagnose an internal injury?
We're trained to assess and report. The medic treats.
Well, your medic's not here now, is he? Move.
Fran? Fran, can you hear me?
Right, I'm calling Base. They'll send our chopper back, pick her up.
Maybe you want to wait so you can actually tell them her status.
Chase, I need your help down here.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Life Blood Medivac has patient. We're on our way.
She's got a broken wrist and a tib-fib fracture.
Brilliant. You're kidding.
We need to get her up here and then up there.
Hey, you!
Can you do me a favour, please? Step away from the edge.
Alright? Yeah.
You right? Yeah, sure.
Why was I called off? What's going on?
Michelle's still trying to find out.
Why did I get my chopper licence if we're gonna cave in to Life Blood?
Who are these idiots, anyway? See for yourself.
(STARTS VIDEO)
I'm Hayden Bradley and this is Life Blood.
We're the new face of rescue.
We'll look after you in any situation.
We have medics, nurses and doctors.
In our hands, you're in safe hands.
We'll get to you when no-one else can.
Wanker! What a nob!
Nice to meet you too.
And there he is.
The new face of rescue.
Hey, mate, the old face of rescue
is doing just damn fine, thank you very much.
And thank you, Vince.
Michelle LeTourneau. Let's talk in my office.
(COUGHS) Loser!
HAYDEN: Look, it's a foregone conclusion.
The chopper section will be split off from Rescue.
My understanding is that the Minister has yet to make a decision.
(SIGHS) The Minist... Anyway, why would you want it?
Really, it's expensive, it's time-consuming,
it takes you away from what you're really good at.
Which is? Treating people.
You treat 'em, we get 'em out. It's a perfect partnership.
Why exactly are you here?
Olive branch. I don't want to fight with you. I want to work with you.
(PHONE RINGS)
Right. Thanks, Vince.
So... spirit of cooperation.
Yes.
Working together. Exactly.
One of your clients has just fallen over a cliff
and has multiple fractures, possible concussion.
Now, since the Life Blood chopper is doing photo ops
on the Westmead Hospital,
I presume you'll have no problem
with the Rescue chopper flying your client out.
You... you are much smarter than the Minister gives you credit for.
Well...
I'm gonna enjoy working with you, Michelle LeTourneau... a lot.
DEAN: Take it easy. Slow it down. LARA: Slow it down.
DEAN: Yep. LARA: Yep. Good.
OK, we're moving. Let's go.
Are you right? Whoa, whoa, take it easy.
Nice and slow.
Can you stand up? Yep.
LARA: Up we go.
DEAN: OK, that's it, that's it.
Is she alright? Whoa, whoa.
Mate, stay back. She's hit her head, OK?
She looks pretty stable, I can call her in on our chopper.
We won't have to.
Alright, we're gonna take her up the cliff face,
the same way we did with your boss - to the rescue vehicles.
Hey, Fran? Fran, can you hear me? And lift. Lift.
Stay back, mate. We've gotta take her to hospital.
Hey, just back off, mate. Back off, back off.
Listen, Dean, Life Blood's taking over, mate. Get used to it.
Get out of the way.
DEAN: Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
LARA: How are we supposed to get up there now?
CHASE: Looks like she's going nowhere.
Chase, you did leave the ropes attached, didn't you?
Course I did. Well, who pulled them down?
Don't look at me. I've been with you guys the whole time.
Stuart wasn't.
What do I know about ropes? Besides, I just want to get out of here.
Must have been your Life Blood mates.
What, you reckon they'd deliberately sabotage us?
What kind of people are you?
Oh, listen, don't start, OK? They were probably trying to be helpful.
They figured you were walking out so they detached them.
Genius.
We'll have to reattach them. Where's the bag with the bolts and cams?
There's no time. It'll take an hour to free-climb back up to the top.
I could do it. No-one is gonna do it.
It's certainly been nice putting a face to the name.
I'm sure we'll be in touch. (PHONE RINGS)
Excuse me.
DEAN: (ON RADIO) Rescue 1 to Rescue Base.
Hayden Bradley, Life Blood.
VINCE: Rescue Base to Rescue 1. What's going on, Deano?
Uh... there's been a change of plan.
Sabotaged your ropes? Who would do that?
I don't know, but the bottom line is
we can't get up to the extraction point.
I can fly back out there and drop them a rope bag.
You wouldn't make it before dark. Sunset's in half an hour.
The Life Blood chopper will be there at 7 am to take my client out.
Right, guys, I want you two to get out there tonight.
What could we do?
You can bet Hayden will have his media there when the chopper arrives at 7:00.
You guys bring her up at 6:00.
Yeah? I want to see Rescue people wearing Rescue uniforms,
putting her into a Rescue vehicle.
Hayden Bradley is not taking our jobs.
Alright, the plan is we'll get her up the cliff at first light.
Heidi and Vince are gonna set belay points for us.
I'll let Chase know. Not a word to anyone else.
I wouldn't tell him. Good.
DEAN: Chase? Chase?
So, what's all the secret chat about?
Nothing.
Wouldn't have picked you for the domestic type.
A tan line.
Is that a wedding ring? That's none of your business.
That's OK. Makes sense, anyway.
What?
You and Bozo over there.
(LAUGHS)
No, I've...
I'm not married to Dean.
I'm married to a guy named Hamish. Hamish?
Yes, Hamish. So, who's the lucky guy?
He's not in Rescue.
How crazy would that be, to marry... a workmate?
He's a lawyer. He's in London.
What?
It's only for six months, then he's coming back.
Well, I hope the phone sex is good.
You know, Fran and I started as workmates.
You're together?
That whole competitive thing... just makes it more exciting.
I couldn't imagine going out with anyone in a different field.
What? Nothin'.
Soup's burning.
No, I won't wait. I have waited all day to speak to the Minister.
I don't care what time it is.
Hey, hey, no, don't you dare put me on hold. Hey! (GROANS)
(CLEARS THROAT) Can I help you?
I thought maybe we could help each other.
Oh... (CHUCKLES) I'm working.
Look, come on. Our troops are gonna be stuck out there all night.
No reason their generals can't have some time out.
I tell you what - Rescue keeps the chopper service
and I'll celebrate by having a glass of wine with you.
(CHUCKLES) It's a deal.
You've forgotten your wine.
No, I didn't.
When the Minister gives Life Blood the contract...
...think of that as compensation.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Life Blood to Base. Setting up base camp now.
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) Good work. Get up there at first light.
VINCE: First light, Heidi-ho, we set belay points for our team,
get the jump on these clowns.
Do you really think this is gonna work?
Worth a shot. Keep your enemies close.
Aren't we technically on duty? Don't inhale.
OK, boys, may as well have some fun. Who's for pizza and beer?
(ALL EXCLAIM) Eh?
OK, we should have you out first thing in the morning.
Oh, no.
Keep your head down. You could have a serious concussion.
My boss's phone. I dropped it when I fell.
Yeah, well, then, it's probably down the bottom of that ravine
in a million pieces.
Well, I only need the SIM card.
Maybe you could look for me?
I'll make it worth your while.
Aren't you going out with Stuart? He wouldn't need to know.
Hey, mate? Hey, mate, just wondering if you could help me with something.
Look, the boss's phone -
if you help me get it out of here, there's money in it for you.
I'm talkin', like, 10 grand, OK?
But I thought you grabbed it from him.
Look, Fran grabbed it from me. We fought over it.
That's why she fell?
Look, it has to be down that cliff where she went over.
What is so important about this phone?
All I can say - there's a lot of important company information on it.
Worth a lot to the right person.
DEAN: Chase?
Hey, just think about it, alright?
What are you doing?
Uh, just looking for the safest way out for our clients in the morning
if the chopper can't get in.
Oh, right.
Well, If you're trying to get them out, why are you climbing down?
You should be climbing up.
OK. I got a call from my boss. He wants me to find Jeremy's phone.
This phone?
It's worth a lot of money.
(CHUCKLES) Well, not to me.
It's Jeremy's. I'm gonna give it back to him.
What if he dies, Lara?
Hmm? Word is, it's looking that way.
Whoever holds that phone can pretty much name their price.
I mean, we could split it. (LAUGHS) Right.
Lara, Rescue's dead. OK?
You can't beat us.
But if you want to join us, then... I could get you in.
What do you say?
Lucky me.
So, what's so important about this phone?
I don't know. But Fran offered me sex for it.
Stuart offered me 10,000 bucks.
I was short-changed. Depends how good the sex is.
OK, so, you're telling me
that we've been hauling these people up and down a cliff all day over a phone?
If it wasn't for the principle, I'd say Life Blood's welcome to them.
We can't let Life Blood win.
No. No, we can't.
Alright. Look, let's get some rest, yeah?
First thing tomorrow morning,
we get these guys and their phones up the cliff, outta here.
(BIRDSONG)
(YAWNS NOISILY)
(MAN GROANS) (VINCE LAUGHS)
(RETCHES)
Morning. Morning.
That, Heidi-ho, is the sweet, sweet sound of success.
Let's go.
You are my hero, Vince. (MEN VOMIT)
Yep, that's the salmon pizza, that one.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(ZIPPER OPENS)
Dean! Dean! Dean!
Yeah, what's up?
(BREATHLESSLY) Someone... in my tent... grabbed me. No, this way.
Hey, stay here with Fran, yeah?
Hey, and, uh, don't have sex with her.
There. Go.
Aarggh! (GROANS)
Come on. Up!
Bloody six weeks of physio undone in one tackle.
Where is it?! Where's what?
You were in my tent.
(LAUGHS) I wish, sweetheart. You took the phone.
It was Stuart. I saw him coming out.
I heard you yell. I went after him too.
Oh, really? Yeah, really.
Then where is he? I don't know.
If you hadn't come out of nowhere and tack...
Go round.
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
Lara! Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Don't move. Don't move. Let me check you out.
There's nothing wrong with me. OK. Well, let's make sure.
No, don't be silly. No, it's fine.
There's nothing wrong with me. We're gonna make sure.
Where's my radio? Your radio?
There.
OK, stay there. Stay there. Let me get it, alright?
Minister?
Michelle LeTourneau, Rescue Special Operations. We need to talk.
I'm sure we can schedule a meeting.
I have been trying to do that.
Excuse me.
How can I help you, Miss LeTourneau?
Rescue has the only team that can actually fly in,
treat and extract patients from high-risk circumstances.
Life Blood has doctors, nurses, rescue operatives.
Yes, but not all in the one person.
One call to us and we provide the lot, in record time.
Well, I must say, it's good to see
both you and Hayden Bradley making such impassioned pitches.
Competition certainly brings out the best in everyone.
Well, Life Blood is committed to making a profit, Minister.
Rescue is committed to saving lives.
Well, I'll consider your submission.
But don't ever ambush me like this again.
Rescue 4 to Rescue 3 - we'll be above you in 15 minutes, Jordan,
to set the belays, over.
Uh, yeah, Rescue 3. How'd you get the jump on Life Blood?
10 pizzas, 2 slabs of beer.
Oh, yeah, that old trick.
Are you ready to evacuate? Over.
That's a negative. Repeat that. Over.
Stuart did a runner this morning. He what? Why?
Well, your guess is as good as mine.
The others took off after him. I'm left here with the patient.
We're gonna need the Life Blood guys, after all,
to get the Sked up the cliff.
Got any more tricks?
Not right now. We'll set these belays, get back to base camp.
Come on. We need the extra muscle power.
Oh, man!
No sign of Stuart. Or Lara.
And Heidi and Vince are gonna be waiting for us at the cliff.
Rescue 3 to Rescue 1. Go ahead, Jordan.
Patient's in a lot of pain. I can't keep giving her peth.
We've got to get her out of here.
Yeah, copy that. We're on our way.
Forget about Stuart. We have to get Fran to hospital.
And one more thing.
We've lost Cam - there's no sign of him in the camp.
Yeah, copy that. Out to you, Rescue 3. Rescue 2, do you read me?
(STATIC HISSES)
Rescue 2 Portable? (STATIC CONTINUES)
Lara, sitrep? This is Rescue 2 Portable.
Where's Lara?
Uh, she's just had a bit of a fall. It's nothing serious.
I'm just checking her out now.
Chase, go and grab the gear. I'll meet you there.
Yeah. Righto. What's your position?
You didn't have to tell him. Jealous type, is he?
No, it's just I'm perfectly alright.
We don't know that yet because I haven't checked your ankle.
Oh, for goodness sake.
Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you guys always going on about the correct procedure?
(GROANS)
Does that hurt?
Yeah, a bit.
I just rolled it, that's all.
Well, just relax, alright? It's all part of the Life Blood service.
You say that to all your clients, do you?
(LAUGHS) You're not used to being looked after, are you, Lara?
What?
My guess, you spend all your time taking care of other people,
never let anyone take care of you.
How am I doing?
I don't need looking after.
Everyone needs looking after.
DEAN: What's going on?
Nothing. I tripped, that's all. I'm fine.
DEAN: (ON RADIO) Rescue 1 to Rescue 3 Portable.
Yeah, Rescue 3 Portable. Go ahead.
Yeah, Jordan, look, we're not gonna be able to get back to you in time.
You'll have to get the Life Blood helo to take Fran out.
Yeah, copy that, Rescue 1. Rescue 3 out.
If Life Blood take Fran out, we can kiss the chopper contract goodbye.
Yeah, well, we're out of time, Chase. We can't risk the patient.
LARA: I'm sorry.
Sure it was an accident? Yes! It was an accident.
Let's go and find this idiot.
You right? Yeah, I'm fine, OK?
MAN: (ON RADIO) Life Blood chopper to Life Blood Base.
We've encountered fog. ETA for patient pick-up uncertain.
Boys, I really need you to step up on this.
We've got every bugger watching us, alright?
So, I want to get in there and get the job done.
What's going on with Life Blood?
Why aren't they sending the chopper to pick up Fran?
There's some delay. No-one will say.
Right. Heidi, take my car, get back to the Rescue chopper, fast.
If they've got a chopper problem, I want you ready, OK?
No problem.
We're gonna have to get a break some time.
Hey, look, I'm so sorry.
Hey, you shouldn't be sitting up. Just lie down, OK?
I know. It's all a mess.
It's a lot of trouble for a phone.
Jordan, prepare the patient and sit tight.
The chopper can't be too far away. Over.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Life Blood chopper to Base.
We've still got visibility problems. Over.
They're climbing down to bring the woman up, I know it.
I'm going with them. Hang on, hang on.
What frequency are they using?
Jordan's not going to be the only real officer bringing her up.
(STATIC HISSES)
There.
Exactly what is your position right now?
MAN: (ON RADIO) 150 clicks south of you.
Still negotiating this fogbank.
Life Blood chopper to Base. Please advise action.
Just get here as fast as possible.
Right, go and help Jordan. I'll call Heidi.
Hey, boy scouts, want a compass?
If Jeremy dies,
that list on his phone, it's worth millions.
Worth your broken wrist?
Worth your mate out there, somewhere, lost? All of this?
It was Stuart who pulled our ropes down, wasn't it?
Yep. I'd say so.
He didn't want you airlifted out of here with the phone.
And you know what?
If Stuart's got that phone, he's heading for higher ground
to get a signal.
He's gonna want to start emailing that list to his own address.
Rescue 3 to Rescue 1.
Start climbing. Stuart's heading to higher ground.
DEAN: Copy that.
Stuart?! Stuart, can you hear us?!
I don't get it. He's not injured. He doesn't want to be found.
So, why are we wasting our time looking for him?
'Cause that's what we do -
chase the unqualified into the unforgiving.
Save the ungrateful from themselves.
So, if you'd found the phone, who would you have given it to?
Fran or Stuart?
Well, I would have given it back to my boss, obviously.
Oh. Well, Stuart was offering 10,000 bucks.
Listen, I don't pretend to be some sort of saint, Lara,
but I do take my job seriously.
DEAN: Lara?!
BOTH: Shh. MAN: Is somebody there?!
Help! I'm over here. This way.
Alright, careful, careful.
Stuart?!
Please don't let me die!
Help, please!
Help!
DEAN: Alright, Stuart?
Stuart, can you grab the loop?
I can't. Alright.
OK. Just hold tight. I'm gonna come down and grab you.
We can't climb down. That cliff is too unstable.
There's no time to go round and climb up.
He can't hang on forever. So, what do we do?
Tie a big enough loop and lower it around him.
Life Blood 1 to Life Blood Helo. We need an urgent airlift.
Life Blood 1 to Life Blood Helo.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Life Blood 1, Life Blood Base. Stand by.
We don't have enough time to wait for the chopper, OK?
We have to try to get down to him.
Please!
To be honest, there are a number of factors.
Training, obviously. Dedication.
Just excuse me a moment, will you? Mr Bradley, where are you going?
MAN: Make sure you get the shot. (ALL TALK AT ONCE)
Let's just get this blanket on her.
At this point, I want to thank my team. Get out of my...
Life Blood, today, have made a very heroic rescue
under extremely difficult conditions.
Say something! Our mob did all the work.
Let him have his battle. We are here to win the war.
The chopper?
Heidi's on her way. She's gonna need help.
How fast can you get to the pick-up? On my way.
I'll tell Deano. No radios!
Alright, Stuart, I'm gonna come down and get you!
Now, when I come over the edge,
there may be a bit of rock fall around you.
Don't worry about it. Just hold tight.
CHASE: You sure about this? CAM: Mate, it's stupid.
This cliff edge is too unstable.
This rope's gonna rub against it,
you're gonna cause another rockslide, like Jeremy did.
Got any better ideas?
Yeah. Let me free-climb down.
Nah. No way. You slip and you're dead.
Yeah. You slip and he's dead. STUART: Hurry!
HEIDI: (ON RADIO) Rescue Helo to Base. I've picked up Jordan.
I've got a clear run from the north. Over.
Is that the Life Blood chopper?
No, it's not.
Rescue Helo to Rescue 1. I've got you sighted.
Jordan's gonna winch down.
Rescue 1 to Rescue Helo. Heidi, we don't have time.
Stuart can't hold on much longer. Send down the cable and the harness.
Affirmative.
(STUART CRIES OUT)
Hold that.
You think I'm a cowboy?
Oh, please help! I'm gonna fall!
I can't hold on much longer!
OK, it's clipped on. Got the thumbs up.
Copy that.
You reckon this will work?
No! DEAN: Hold on, Stuart.
I'm coming down!
(STUART SCREAMS) Oh, sh...
HEIDI: (ON RADIO) I'm going in for a second attempt.
Aarggh!
That was close.
They're up. Up 20.
Goin' up.
Aarggh!
Well, Rescue, one. Life Blood, zero.
(REPORTERS CLAMOUR)
OK, guys, just step back. Give him some space here, please. Just move.
Alright, he's a bit wobbly on his feet, guys.
Minister, fantastic to see you.
Thank you. And well done.
Well, this might be a good time to make an announcement.
As you know, my department has been assessing the viability
of some aspects of the rescue service.
And today's incredible rescue has shown
that there is benefit with public and private working together.
And, to that end, this afternoon,
Cabinet has decided to award the chopper contract to Life Blood.
Thank you, Minister. Thank you. You're welcome.
Thank you. This should be a big step forward...
Bullshit. This is bullshit.
Is she blind? Didn't she see what just happened?
It's politics. Screw politics.
Life Blood are not gonna get away with this.
We're not gonna let them get away with it.
If Hayden Bradley thinks we're gonna roll over for him,
he's got another thing coming.
We're gonna get the chopper contract back, Vince.
Excuse me? Do you know Jeremy, our boss?
You'll be glad to hear that he's alive and well.
Oh. That's good. Sweetheart, are you alright?
Did you hear? Jeremy's gonna live.
What? So, this is worthless?
Hey!
I'm his 2IC, I'll give it back to him. When can he have visitors?
No, no, no, wait. Look... No.
I almost died, rescuing that for Jeremy. Tell her.
I'm his 2IC. I'll give it back. That's the way it should always be.
Oh, about half an hour, mate. Yep.
See you on the next one, guys, yeah?
Can't wait.
(SCOFFS) You know, you should probably
learn to relax a little, brother.
Is that what you think? Mm.
Maybe it'll help if you give me a foot massage.
(LAUGHS)
Well, we got everyone out safely. That's all that matters, right?
It might have happened a hell of a lot quicker
if you'd told us what was really going on with those people.
CAM: Right.
So, maybe, then, you could get the phone for yourself?
You still don't get it, do you? What's that?
We don't do this for the money.
Right. Well, then, you're gonna get walked all over, mate.
See ya, Lara.
See ya.
Look at you, huh? What?
Get over it. I don't even like him.
You keep telling yourself that.
SONG: # See them crawlin'
# Their faces on the ground
# My heart keeps jumpin'
# I want to stay around
# Now they can't hear me
# I ain't too young to die
# But before I let you take me
# You gotta look me in the eyes
# I'm gonna get a little dirty
# I'm gonna get a little dirty, yeah
# I'm gonna get a little dirty. #
