(SIREN WAILS)
Rescue Base to Rescue 5 Portable. Heidi-ho, how is it looking?
Just got here, Vince. I'll get back to ya.
You folks called us in? Yeah, yeah.
Thank you very much.
OK, we need to deal with this fuel.
Lachie, extinguishers, put down a foam blanket.
Chase, comb the zone. Jordan, come with me.
WOMAN: Hey! Get me out! OK, take it easy.
Take it easy.
That's it. Just take a few deep breaths for me.
Just slow your breathing down.
I'm Heidi, that's Jordan. We're from Rescue. What's your name?
Helen Hillerstrom. My son...
OK, let's get you right first. You've got a gash on your head.
Did you black out at all? No. No, I'm fine.
But my son, he's gone missing. His name's Oscar.
I need to... No, no, no. Don't move, OK?
I just need to assess your injuries before you move at all, alright?
He went hiking in the mountains. He's lost.
Alright. Can you tell me the day? I'm not concussed. I'm fine.
I've got maps here, there's SES.
They're already searching for him. I need to get up there.
Alright, well, you're not getting anywhere in this.
Just let me help you. Helen, what's your son's name?
Did you say "Hillerstrom"? Yeah. Oscar Hillerstrom.
She said he went hiking yesterday.
Can you call the SES, see if there's a search underway?
Is she concussed? She's saying son not husband?
Possible concussion. She's definitely saying son.
Her name's Helen.
Is she a redhead?
Uh, repeat, Vince.
Early 40s, redhead? Yeah, that's her. Why?
Vince? Vince?
SES confirms that they are searching for an Oscar Hillerstrom
in between Blaxland Ridge and Emerald Falls.
He's gone in looking for his father.
Vince... Yeah.
Hey...
I'm going down there. Hey, Vince.
Vince!
HEIDl: Rescue 5 Portable. Vince, what's going on?
Helen.
What's wrong?
No, no, no!
He killed my husband!
(HELEN SOBS) HEIDl: Sit down.
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. #
MICHELLE: (ON PHONE) I haven't spoken to the coordinator yet.
I'll call him when I have to. We're heading out now.
Are you sure you should get involved?
I know this area better than any of 'em.
Hurry up! We're moving out. What?
We're being called back up there? Yep.
Tell them we'll be there in an hour.
You can't take both teams, Vince. I need one on call.
Get Dean in and Lara.
They're not on roster. They are now.
Chase, come with me now!
MAN: OK, let's do it. Can I look?
BO Y: No, not yet.
OK. Ta-da!
Oh! We made it.
I can see that. Oh, come on.
What do you mean? I love it. I love it.
Thank you. Blow out the candles.
What did you wish for? Secret.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(PHONE RINGS) Thank you.
That's a beautiful cake.
Yeah, Michelle.
Dean, Vince needs you and Lara to come in.
I'll tell you what, you can tell Vince to find somebody else.
Sorry, everyone's out. I need you on call.
Come on. This is a joke.
(SIGHS)
It's OK, I understand. It's work.
So, what do you want to do - you want to postpone your birthday lunch?
Or should we upgrade to a birthday dinner tonight somewhere expensive?
I want both. (LAUGHS)
We've talked about this.
Oh. Sorry. (LAUGHS)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hey, Zoe.
How long have you been back?
A couple of months.
I was working up the courage, then it was your birthday, so I...
Um, this is my... This is Noah's father.
"Noah's father"? G'day, mate, I'm Brad.
Brad, Dean.
Noah?
Do you want to say hello to your dad?
Hi.
Wow, he's big.
Yeah, he's grown a lot in three years.
Well, uh, maybe I should just head off now.
Wait, um...
Come in. I presume you want to see your son.
I want to see you both.
Nice to meet ya. You too.
You OK?
I... He just turns up. I haven't seen him for three years.
Hey, Zoe, come back. Sorry.
Still on for tonight?
Yeah? Mmm.
OK.
What's he doing back? He wants to see his kid.
What, after three years, he just decides it's time?
How did she react? I don't know. She was shocked.
Was she glad to see him? Look, stop with the questions, OK?
I don't care. It's none of my business.
Well, it is if he's come to get her back.
I'm telling ya, the kid will be down here somewhere.
Yeah, Vince, based on what? Instinct.
He'll go where his father went.
He's gone in on this track,
we've got multiple sightings of him here, here...
Would've skipped through to Shade's Gully through here.
A kid couldn't manage it. You know how hard that country is.
Yes, I do.
I'm not allocating resources based on your instinct.
I'll send my own guys in. Your guys are my guys now.
The police coordinator gave them to me at your request,
and I want them along these ridges here and here, OK?
The kid will get lost and die, just like his dad did.
His dad wasn't in there, his dad was down here.
That's why you lost him.
Mate, I know what I did wrong... That's enough.
You know where you're going?
Um...
Let's go.
(SIREN WAILS)
Looks like they've got it all covered.
Alright, gather round.
Right, we're on the Katoomba map.
We've been assigned between this ridge and this valley.
Where was he last seen? Down here along Koolong Creek.
Then why are we in Shade's Gully? Insurance.
OK, we know the kid's on a phone,
he's made several calls to triple 0 and his mother
and he's not in a good way.
How many support crews in the valley?
Just us.
Shouldn't we be looking along the ridges?
We'll get to them. First, we're gonna do something different.
We're gonna head down to Shade's Gully, then do the ridges after.
You sure?
Let's go.
Go!
Uh, why are we being separated from the search?
They just want to cover it off. We'd be more useful on the ridges.
Right, so that's Patrick Hillerstrom, the father of the boy gone missing.
He went missing 10 years ago in the same area.
They know where he entered, where he was supposed to come out.
The media got wind of it and Vince faced them.
He had no idea what he was doing.
He nearly killed himself doing everything right.
He never got over it and never located the body.
That's hard. Poor Vince.
(PHONE RINGS) Michelle LeTourneau.
It's Glyn. What on earth does Marchello think he's doing?
Glyn, slow down.
I gave him specific instructions to search the ridges.
But your guys... Hey, hey, stop yelling.
Alright, so you are 100% sure that he understood
you wanted them along the ridge line, yes?
Yes, I'm sure! You need to put a leash on him, Michelle, and now.
OK. No, I will get on to him. Right.
Sorry about the mix-up.
HEIDI: (CALLS) Oscar!
Oscar! JORDAN: Oscar!
So dinner was nice last night. Yeah?
You like Raco and Carol? Yeah.
What? Oh, nothing. They seem nice.
It's just all that talk about the couple swapping.
Nah, they're just joking around,
'cause of their swinging neighbours trying it out, you know?
They're not into it.
Well, didn't you notice how Carol was, like, kept saying,
"No, I'd never do it with him, he's too ugly"?
Like she was speaking hypothetically as if it would be a possibility
if the right people came along.
Heidi, you're reading into it. No, seriously.
I think that they were subtextually seeing if we'd couple swap with them.
Come off it, they're mates. That'd be weird.
We're not even supposed to be down here.
What do you mean? Vince, he's lost it.
Rescue Command to Rescue Alpha, what's your position? Over.
Hey, this is Rescue Team Alpha.
We're on the Katoomba map at reference point...
(STATIC ON RADIO)
Let's climb back into range.
The bush is extremely dense, we'd pretty much have to walk over him.
We should be up on the ridge.
Rescue Supervisor to Rescue Teams Alpha and Bravo,
do not go any further.
You need to make your way immediately to 28.3, 56.2.
You need to switch your radios to SES frequency incident channel 1.
Michelle, you want us to go back the way we came?
Copy that. Onto the ridge line where you're supposed to be.
Reference number is 28.3, 56.2, moving due west.
This is Rescue Command.
Michelle, I've instructed our teams to head down into Shade's Gully.
Rescue Supervisor. I know exactly what you've done, Vince.
Now, get them back up to where they're supposed to be.
Rescue Command to Rescue Teams Alpha and Bravo,
disregard Rescue Supervisor's command.
Stay your course. Repeat, stay the course you are on.
Are you joking, Vince?!
Rescue Supervisor to Rescue Teams Alpha and Bravo, turn around now!
I hate it when mum and dad fight.
Um, so, guys, what are we doing?
Get back up to the ridge line!
Copy that. Rescue Team Alpha out.
Rescue Team Bravo turning around.
Vince, answer your phone. We need to talk in private.
Helen. You stay away from me.
No, Helen, listen to me, please.
Did Oscar go in there looking for his father's... for his father?
Are you running this rescue? I am assisting.
Alright, I want to speak to whoever's in charge.
Right, Helen, would you listen to me?
If he has gone in there, you've gotta tell us.
He has, hasn't he?
Well, if he has, they're looking in the wrong spot.
He's been coming up here for six months on weekends.
He's been looking for his dad's body.
(PHONE RINGS) It's Oscar! Oscar!
Put it on loudspeaker. Oscar Hillerstrom's on the phone.
(STATIC) (OSCAR SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
I'm scared.
Oscar, I love you. Where are you?
I don't know. Can anyone hear me? I'm right here, baby.
Ask him what he can see. What can you see?
I think... blood. Blood?
Stay put. Stop walking.
Why is there blood? What happened?
I lost my water. Why won't you help me?
Where are...? (LINE DROPS)
Oscar... Oscar?
(CRIES) Oscar! Helen.
I want you off this search! No. I know this terrain.
I know the movements your husband made
and where Oscar might be looking.
You're gonna kill him like you killed his father!
I did everything I could to find your husband.
(SOBS)
I can't lose them both.
You won't.
I'll bring Oscar back to you. I promise.
You told me that once before.
MICHELLE: Vince! Oh, shit, here we go.
Just in time - I'm taking a few days personal leave.
Where are you going?
SES bloke's up in that tent. He'll be a valuable source.
Vince, you are acting like an idiot.
You're emotional, that's fine,
but going against me and going against the search coordinator...
I'm not emotional.
The father got away from you, so now you're...
Michelle, Michelle, look at me - not emotional.
I'm just gonna have a quick look at Shade's Gully.
On your own?
lt'll take me two, three hours.
It will take four, and from memory, there's no radio contact down there.
We'll end up searching for you.
The kid's probably exactly where they're looking,
down in the valley, up in the ridge line where our guys are.
The coordinator's got it covered - he's good.
I just gotta check Shade's Gully.
I have to.
Right. Well, I'm gonna send Chase with you.
He'll just slow me down. I'm not negotiating.
Tell him to hurry.
Rescue Command to Rescue Team Alpha.
Chase, there's been a change of plans... again.
We got 40? Uh, 39.
Why do they always gyp us on one?
Hey. Hi.
Hi.
I refuse to have my birthday lunch taken away,
so brie, truffle honey, strawberries and more.
That's great. I mean, Zoe, that's great.
Shall I set the scene? Uh, yeah, upstairs.
OK.
(SOFTLY) Good luck.
Thanks.
HEIDI: Oscar!
So Raco and Carol aren't swingers, then?
JORDAN: That's what I'm saying.
LACHIE: You guys thinking about swinging?
I suppose about that point in the relationship, isn't it?
HEIDI: No, we're not!
LACHIE: How long have you been together now? Three months?
Bit longer. Yeah, exactly.
It's about that point when things start getting a bit stale.
You need to spice it up. It's normal.
Hey, things aren't getting stale, mate. Are they?
No.
You sure? Well, I just said no.
Oscar! Oscar!
Mate, you better sharpen up your game.
If you are looking for a threesome...
Mate, piss off! What?
You're an attractive guy, Jordan.
CHASE: This place is a nightmare.
Why would anyone come through here?
He's trying to find his dad.
Which begs the question...
I don't know why the father came through here,
but he's in here somewhere.
We never recovered the body. Is that what you're doing?
What's that? Chasing ghosts.
I mean, we are looking for the kid, not the dad's bones, right?
No-one else thinks he's in here.
Look, I didn't ask for you to come down in here.
In fact, I don't want you in here at all.
So why don't you go up to the ridge line, yeah, and be safe?
Not allowed. Then shut up!
Mmm, fizzy water. It's French.
Yeah, I can tell. (LAUGHS)
So Noah's at your mum's? No, I left him with Brad.
OK. He's his father.
No, that's, you know... That's fine.
You know, you don't know him.
All I know is that he took off and left you with Noah
and, I dunno, it just doesn't scream out 'a great guy' to me.
He's paid more than child support every week since he left.
He sends Noah a card every month.
Oh, right, he sends him a card. That makes it fine, then.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
Why are you defending this guy?
Well, what have you ever committed to?
Just don't throw stones, you know?
He wasn't the only one who made mistakes. We both did.
You both did?
OK, look, what does he want? Why is he back?
Dean, I actually don't want to discuss this with you.
What do you mean you don't want to discuss this? Come on!
Zoe, you come here all dressed up and bring all this...
Where are you going? Zoe, talk to me. Zoe!
Zoe, Zoe, Zoe, talk to me.
Are you OK?
Want some brie?
Look, why are you so hung up about this kid, anyway?
You've done enough rescues to know they don't all have a happy ending.
There was no ending, Chase.
Yes, there was. Father disappeared, he died.
He was dumb enough to walk through here on his own, anyway.
Rescue 6 Portable to Rescue Command.
Oscar! Oscar!
What if they don't find him? They'll find him.
I don't want Marchello involved.
You should know that Vince tried to resign after he lost your husband.
His marriage busted up six months later.
Really messed him up. Right.
I'm not saying it didn't mess you up.
I'm just saying that he will find Oscar.
He's the one you want looking for your son.
They will find him.
Oscar! Oscar!
Ah, dammit. Nice one.
(SIGHS)
I reckon we swung to the west, so we need to...
What was that?
We need to head up and over this one here.
Chances are Oscar's done the same thing, so...
What do you mean "chances are"?
Because you stuffed up, so suddenly the kid did the same as you?
Watch your mouth.
Leave it.
This is going beyond obsession, Vince.
This kid's lost because of me, right?
If I had found his dad, even his body,
that kid wouldn't even be in here!
But I didn't! I failed, alright?
Yeah, but you weren't the only one on that rescue.
Have you ever been a search and rescue coordinator?
Have you ever told someone their loved one is dead
because of your incompetence?
You haven't, have you? Alright.
And you would probably have been able to cope, but I didn't.
You cope, Vince. You cope better than anyone I know.
I bullshit better than anyone you know.
I was at the top of my game 10 years ago.
You couldn't have slowed me with an elephant gun,
but then... I... just stopped.
Kid's probably not even in here. Come on, Vince.
What? There's no shame in letting go.
What? Did you read that in a condolence card?
Uh, no, you, actually.
Remember a surf rescue a couple of years back? Shark Reef?
Yeah, you rescued them.
Yeah, two of them. There were three when we got there.
We were dragging the guy and girl off
and the other got washed out, never found him.
That's right. Tough rescue.
Yeah, and you said, "You can't take it home with you."
That wasn't your fault. This is different. I made mistakes.
Come on, Vince. You make mistakes all the time.
Yeah.
Hey, Vince. What?
Oscar! Oscar, stop!
Vince to all units. We've eyeballed Oscar Hillerstrom.
He's at approximately...
(STATIC ON RADIO)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, easy.
You're no good to anyone if you injure yourself.
Where is he?
What?
Who's that?
Patrick Hillerstrom...
...Oscar Hillerstrom's father.
Chase! Down here!
Aarggh!
10 years!
10 years, you bastard! 10 years!
I know you're angry. You've got every right.
Vince! Vince.
Rescue 6 Portable... No!
I found Patrick Hillerstrom. I'm taking him into custody.
They can't know I'm alive! No-one can! Patrick Hillerstrom is alive.
Not for me, for them. They'll lose everything!
Request a police escort. I have to stay dead!
Do you know what you did?!
Do you?!
We're walking you out. What are you gonna do? Drag me?
If we have to!
My son's in trouble.
No-one knows he's down here, do they? Or the gully'd be swarming with SES.
I've been tracking someone. I found blood.
Three searches is better than two.
If he's down here, we have to alert a search.
How?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
JORDAN: Vince!
So things are getting a bit boring?
Well, I just think it's the nature of being in a relationship.
You know, things go from being passionate to being intimate.
I prefer passionate.
Well... I prefer intimate.
You do?
Yeah, I'm really happy with you.
Good. (GIGGLES)
Got a flare at 11 o'clock, guys.
Rescue Command, this is Rescue Team Bravo.
We're seeing a flare.
Repeat - there's a distress flare coming up from Shade's Gully.
It's gotta be Vince. Is he in trouble?
MICHELLE: (OVER RADIO) Rescue Team Bravo, get down there now.
Then get back into radio contact and let me know exactly what's going on.
Rescue Base, I want you on standby.
And get the helies back on standby too.
Will do, Michelle. Rescue Base out.
Yeah, he's just here. Hold on.
It's Noah.
Uh, we need the chopper on standby.
Noah, what's up, mate?
It's OK, it's OK.
Yep. No, look, mate, I'm on my way.
It's OK. Alright.
Lara!
Let's go.
Where?!
What happened? Dad's stuck.
Oh, come on, damn it.
You right, there?
Mate, you didn't?
I told you - Dean's good at this stuff.
Oscar!
Vince!
Oscar!
Vince!
Hey, guys, check this out!
Wha... what do you mean they found the father?
(READS) "Patrick Hillerstrom is alive.
"Me and Chase are with him.
"We're moving directly west from 27.3, 59.9.
"We believe Oscar has moved through Shade's Gully.
"Tell SES to redirect resources immediately
"to enter from 26.8, 60.4."
Alright, get after them.
Run. Do whatever you gotta do. Just stay on high ground.
And stay in radio contact. Rescue Command out.
Is everything alright?
No news on Oscar.
Don't lie to me. Something's going on - what is it?
Um... look, I don't know. I'll be back in a minute.
PATRICK: I didn't have any choice.
Creditors were closing in. One bloke was threatening to kill me.
Never heard of bankruptcy? Police protection?
What sort of life would that have left us?
A life. You're an idiot.
You destroyed a family so you could make things easier for yourself.
(SCOFFS) Easier?
I'm a ghost.
I thought I could just take off, start again. But I couldn't.
I couldn't leave them behind.
So I've just existed for the last 10 years -
under-the-counter jobs, no close friends, no life in limbo,
watching the people that I love go on without me.
You didn't think about turning yourself in?
Then they'd lose my life insurance and all this pain's been for nothing.
They didn't care about the money as much as you.
Oscar wouldn't be down in here otherwise.
Selfish prick.
He's right, I am.
No arguments here.
(SIGHS) Can't keep running forever, mate.
What choice do I have?
Be a man. Face up to what you've done.
You've got a chance to set things right.
That doesn't happen a lot.
I can't face Helen.
Well, you're gonna bloody have to, 'cause I'm gonna make you.
CHASE: Hey, I've got something!
Yeah, it's Oscar's. There's more up ahead.
He's thrown away his stuff.
It's exposure - he's become dissociative.
Uh, Vince, we've got the ravine up ahead.
Oh, shit.
We're gonna need every resource we can get in here now.
Go. Go.
Rescue 6 Portable to all units.
Rescue 6 Portable to all units - anyone read me?
I dropped something, went after it
and got my hand stuck in the bloody waste disposal.
You're loving this, eh? Just doing my job.
Easier to just flick the switch, bag me up with the rubbish.
I'll keep that in mind.
Waste disposal unit is detached.
If there's a hand in there, I've got first dibs on it.
I think you'll find you're all in one piece.
(GRUNTS) Hand's stuck pretty fast.
Wanna chuck us some more lube? We're out.
Have you got any K-Y in the house?
Or any other kind of lubricant? Never needed it.
Dean.
What's K-Y?
Noah, run into Mummy's bedroom and get some hand cream for us.
That'll help, won't it? That should do the trick.
BOTH: Thanks, mate.
He just wants resources relocated to try and catch Oscar,
in case he's moving along the escarpment.
If you move this team...
Michelle, we're stretched to the limit as it is.
Send one of the relief teams.
Come on - two guys. That's all I'm asking.
Vince is in that gully alone, against my orders, chasing ghosts.
Now he says he's found one?
You show me some evidence, I'll take it into account.
But a bloody handwritten note...
VINCE: Rescue Command, me and Chase are fine.
We're heading east with Patrick Hillerstrom...
(STATIC)
I repeat.
We're at...
(STATIC)
Oscar is suffering from extreme exposure.
Over.
Vince, come in. Vince, can you hear me?
Yeah, Heidi-ho, come in.
Heidi, you got me?
Yes. We're at 27.8, 59.7, heading east along the ridge line.
That's good, Heidi. Maintain that course east.
We've hit the escarpment. We've got Oscar's pack.
He's not gonna make it through the night.
We need every crew we can get right now.
Tell him my teams are on their way. OK.
Vince, can you confirm that you have Patrick Hillerstrom with you?
He's refusing to speak over the radio, Michelle.
He'll scarper as soon as we know Oscar's safe. Over.
What am I supposed to tell his wife?
Nothing.
He says tell her nothing.
He wants to stay dead. Over.
Rescue 1 Portable to Rescue Command.
Michelle, we're on a job at the moment, but we're available. Over.
Right, I'll let you know. Rescue Command out.
You don't like me much, eh? (SIGHS)
Well, I'm sure you're a really great bloke.
Probably work at a lost pet shelter or something.
Volunteer firefighter. Really? Where?
A little place up at Woy Woy. Help out when I can.
(CAR HORN TOOTS) Mum's home!
So, Zoe - you're serious about her, huh?
OK. This should just about do it.
On three. One, two, three.
Aarggh!
Still in one piece.
Cost me a bomb.
It's a friendship ring.
I thought she deserved one
after all those years I went without proposing.
Glad we could help. Is everything alright?
Yeah. Brad just got his hand stuck in the sink.
Could've happened to anyone. You can't be serious.
Yeah. (SCOFFS)
It wasn't his fault. He was trying to get your present.
What present? Happy birthday.
I told you, I'm a new man.
You're a stupid man.
Would've had to gnaw my arm off if it wasn't for these two. Thanks.
Yeah. Thank you. No problem.
Glad you're OK. We should move. Yep.
Um, Dean...
Sorry, I'll just...
Um, I'm really sorry about what happened at lunch.
I... I didn't want that to happen.
No, it's OK.
We can talk about it tonight over dinner.
Ah. You can't do dinner tonight.
I'm sorry. Hey, that's alright.
It's Noah, he wants... You don't have to explain.
Another time. Thanks.
Friendship ring! I mean, what is that?
Why doesn't he call it what it is? 'Making your move' ring.
And what's he doing turning up out of the blue?
You saw how upset she was.
Well, it is her birthday. Yeah, and he ruined it.
You're not exactly helping either, Dean.
Thanks.
I don't know, Dean. He is the father of her child.
So what am I supposed to do?
Just wait in the wings until he decides to go again?
No, but if you keep playing the man, you're gonna piss her off.
You've gotta tell her how you feel about her, not how you feel about him.
(SIGHS) Turn the car around.
Why? What did we forget? Go and tell her how you feel.
You love her, don't you?
You know, it doesn't matter how I feel. It's up to her.
No! You've gotta fight for what you want.
You've gotta commit. That's what she wants.
You're right. You're right.
I'll go and see her tonight, yeah?
Good.
Oscar. Oscar!
There. Oscar!
No.
Oscar!
Get back from the ledge.
Stay back.
This is Rescue 6 Portable. We've located Oscar Hillerstrom.
Oscar! Get back.
Let me help. Get back!
He's located at grid ref 27.2, 54.6. What's your ETA?
Rescue Team Bravo. We're almost there.
Oscar!
Get back from the ledge. Let us do our work.
Osc! Osc!
I'm up here.
It's a tight space where you land - take it easy.
Yep. Safety first.
Yep.
I'm going down there.
Hey, forget about it.
He needs me. You stay right here.
He's been searching for me for 10 years - I'm going to him.
Go down the edge and let us do our job!
Stay back.
You heard him.
Careful down the back there, Chase. We can't see you.
Osc! It's me, Dad!
I'm up here, mate!
He's on a ledge, 10 metres down. Chase is on his way down to him.
JORDAN: Hey, mate! HEIDI: Stop!
(YELLS) Patrick!
Chase, Patrick's gone after the boy!
Patrick!
Ohh!
Patrick! We're going in.
Hold on, Patrick!
Ugh!
We'll be with you soon! Keep holding on!
Oscar.
It's me, mate.
I'm alive!
You found me.
I love you.
Who are you?
Osc, it's me. Dad.
You're not... Dad.
Patrick!
Osc, it's me.
(EXHALES LOUDLY)
Hold on, mate. I'm coming.
Patrick!
No, no, no.
Look after the kid.
Patrick.
Patrick, talk to me.
Oscar.
Oscar's alright, mate. He's alright. Let's get you checked out.
Hey, mate. My name's Chase. I'm from Rescue. Just take it easy, OK?
You got any pain here, mate?
My leg.
Yeah? How about down here? How about here?
Argh!
He's got a compound fracture up the femur.
Maybe even query internal bleeding.
Rescue 4 Portable to Rescue 3 Portable -
his BP's through the floor.
We need to get ready to haul now.
JORDAN: (OVER RADIO) Copy that. Got him, mate.
Bad?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
You've got a ruptured spleen.
Pretty sure your back's broken.
Want some morphine?
No.
Do me a favour.
One more.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!
You're gonna see your son soon. Yes.
Oh, thank you.
VINCE: (OVER RADIO) Rescue 6 Portable to Rescue Command.
Yeah, I'm here, Vince.
Yeah, Michelle, is Helen there?
Is it Oscar? Yeah, she's here.
Tell her her husband, Patrick, is here.
He has, uh...
(SIGHS)... something he wants to say.
Is that a joke?
Helen, it's Patrick.
Are you there?
Who's that?
I'm sorry, Helen...
...for lying to you for so long.
So many times I've been so close to you...
...watching Oscar grow up.
(CRIES)
I love you, Helen.
Are you there?
Oh, my God.
Are you there?
Oh, my... God.
Helen, it's Patrick.
Are you there?
(CRIES LOUDLY)
Are you there?
(CRIES)
You can ride with him if you want.
Yeah, I will.
You know, you should get checked out yourself after fainting like you did.
No, I'm fine. I'm fine. It was... it was just a moment.
It was nothing more.
It'll be alright, Helen.
Kids have a way of adjusting, coping.
Thank you for bringing him back to me.
About Patrick...
He doesn't exist.
He's a ghost.
He's a bad dream that used to visit me at night...
...but not anymore.
Vince, where are you going?
I'm bringing Patrick's body out.
The police will do that.
Thanks for the lift.
I've never seen you like this before.
Alright.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Hey.
Mum, he's going to get me.
Hey, Noah.
Hey, Dean. Come on, Noah.
Hey, thanks again for today, mate.
(NOAH YELLS PLAYFULLY)
What is it?
Zoe, I really want to be with you.
Dean.
(NOAH LAUGHS) BRAD: Ah!
ZOE: Dean.
NOAH: Come on, Mum. Come play with us.

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. #
