1
00:00:07,308 --> 00:00:09,943
OSHER GUNSBERG: On Bondi
Rescue...

2
00:00:09,977 --> 00:00:12,346
LIFEGUARD: His eyes rolled
to the back of his head.

3
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:14,615
..a man collapsed on the shore.

4
00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:17,651
He was unconscious in the water
for around five seconds.

5
00:00:17,685 --> 00:00:19,553
And Maxi's back.

6
00:00:19,587 --> 00:00:21,021
Oh, handsome boy?
Oh, handsome?

7
00:00:21,055 --> 00:00:22,823
(BOTH LAUGH)

8
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:26,394
One of Bondi's favourite
lifeguards is on a roll...

9
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:29,297
Hey, stop.
I'm getting youse in, alright?

10
00:00:29,330 --> 00:00:30,798
..with lifesaving rescues...

11
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:32,032
Oi! What are you doing?

12
00:00:32,066 --> 00:00:33,434
No more Mr Nice Guy!

13
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:35,536
..and an awkward injury.

14
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:37,638
Oh, sorry, mate.
It was quite gruesome.

15
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:39,373
Three, two, one. Go.

16
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:41,742
Ahh!
(GROANS)

17
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:43,544
SONG: # Take me back to the

18
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:46,214
# Sweet times, the hot nights

19
00:00:46,247 --> 00:00:48,516
# Everything is gonna be
alright

20
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:50,151
# In the summertime

21
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:53,487
# Baby, in the summertime

22
00:00:53,521 --> 00:00:55,189
# That is where I'll be. #

23
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:09,437
This has been the office for
Anthony Carroll for nearly
three decades.

24
00:01:10,438 --> 00:01:11,939
Better known as Harries,

25
00:01:11,972 --> 00:01:15,042
he doesn't plan on changing
jobs any time soon.

26
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:17,711
Bondi is just everything to me.

27
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:20,248
I love Bondi so much.

28
00:01:20,281 --> 00:01:21,849
It gives me so much freedom.

29
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:24,318
It gives me a lifestyle
that I just dream about.

30
00:01:24,352 --> 00:01:27,955
And it gives me joy every day.

31
00:01:30,124 --> 00:01:31,559
It's like solar power.

32
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:33,761
The sun comes out,
the beach lights up

33
00:01:33,794 --> 00:01:36,197
and it just keeps giving that
love.

34
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:39,333
Bondi is my second home.

35
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:42,403
If you did speak to my family,
it probably is my first home.

36
00:01:45,038 --> 00:01:48,342
Today, the beach has
some very special visitors

37
00:01:48,376 --> 00:01:51,945
who've come to experience
Bondi's 'solar power'

38
00:01:51,979 --> 00:01:53,581
for the very first time.

39
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:56,784
We've got kids from Ukraine
down at the beach today

40
00:01:56,817 --> 00:02:00,554
and it's a dream for them
to be down at Bondi.

41
00:02:00,588 --> 00:02:04,825
It's been very difficult for
'em back in their homeland.

42
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:07,328
Those kids have been through a
lot.

43
00:02:07,361 --> 00:02:09,430
And to have 'em down
swimming in the ocean

44
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:12,032
and to see the smiles on their
face,

45
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:13,667
it's an absolute gift.

46
00:02:13,701 --> 00:02:15,703
They just must think
they're in heaven.

47
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:18,872
How was that? Was it fun?
Yep.

48
00:02:18,906 --> 00:02:20,374
Did you stand up on the board?

49
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:24,345
Is it cold?
Yeah.

50
00:02:27,915 --> 00:02:29,550
Hey, nice meetin' ya!

51
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:32,353
You come down any time. You
can come for a ride in the
buggy with me.

52
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:33,721
OK.
Sounds good?

53
00:02:33,754 --> 00:02:34,788
Yes.

54
00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:37,024
High five?
OK.

55
00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:38,892
See ya!
'Bye. See you later.

56
00:02:38,926 --> 00:02:40,361
See you, guys.

57
00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:44,332
When I've seen these Ukrainian
kids, it's very heart-warming
for me,

58
00:02:44,365 --> 00:02:46,133
'cause I was reflecting
on my own family

59
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:47,835
and what my mother
had to go through.

60
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,238
My mother was born in Israel.

61
00:02:50,271 --> 00:02:54,342
And she'd come from a country
that was war-torn when she was
young.

62
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:57,044
She didn't want to leave
her beautiful country.

63
00:02:57,077 --> 00:03:00,381
But she had to come to
Australia to start a new life.

64
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:05,253
To be able to give back to kids
is very important.

65
00:03:05,286 --> 00:03:08,121
And they deserve it. They
deserve to have a great time.

66
00:03:13,060 --> 00:03:17,231
Post-COVID, thousands of
tourists are flocking back to
Bondi.

67
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:21,034
We love Bondi!

68
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:23,136
Whoo!

69
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:27,174
It's one of the busiest summers
in years.

70
00:03:28,776 --> 00:03:33,347
But hundreds of swimmers
ignore safety warnings.

71
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:35,249
At the south end,

72
00:03:35,283 --> 00:03:37,251
conditions are becoming
hazardous.

73
00:03:37,285 --> 00:03:39,820
Hey, just a reminder,
if you're gonna swim here,

74
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:41,422
you've gotta stay right in
close to shore.

75
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:42,490
Don't swim out

76
00:03:42,923 --> 00:03:46,594
'cause that rip will snatch
you and take you straight out
to sea.

77
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:49,196
Jack's focus is on the water.

78
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,465
If you wanna have
a proper swim today,

79
00:03:51,499 --> 00:03:54,902
the only place is in between
the red-and-yellow flags.

80
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:56,370
MAN:

81
00:03:56,404 --> 00:03:58,171
What?

82
00:03:58,205 --> 00:03:59,607
Whereabouts, buddy?

83
00:04:02,109 --> 00:04:05,313
It's not in the ocean
where Jack is needed most.

84
00:04:14,054 --> 00:04:15,723
It's always concerning when
people

85
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,658
come running up to you
from the public

86
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:20,227
because there's a lot of panic
on their face.

87
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,464
The report was someone's
unconscious a little bit
further up the beach.

88
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:25,366
So I just needed
to get there quickly

89
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:26,900
and figure out what had
happened.

90
00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:33,006
Two surf instructors found a
man lying face down in the surf

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,842
and dragged him to shore.

92
00:04:36,209 --> 00:04:38,211
JACK:

93
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:45,018
Copy.

94
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:49,557
He was close to unconscious
but still a little bit of life
there.

95
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:52,626
And his eyes rolled to
the back of his head,

96
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:54,094
which is obviously worrying.

97
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,596
He kinda looked like a demon.

98
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:58,399
WOMAN ON PHONE: Emergency.
Police, fire or ambulance?

99
00:04:58,432 --> 00:05:00,334
Ambulance, thank you.

100
00:05:00,368 --> 00:05:03,904
All I know at this stage is
this gentleman was having a
surf

101
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:05,906
and that he came off his
surfboard

102
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:09,877
and started sort of shaking
or seizing in the water.

103
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:11,845
And that's when the surf
instructors grabbed him

104
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:13,547
and dragged him back to the
beach.

105
00:05:17,885 --> 00:05:19,787
Dazed and confused,

106
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,657
the patient behaves erratically
towards the men who saved him.

107
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,895
I'm feeling really bad for
the patient at the moment.

108
00:05:29,497 --> 00:05:33,133
He's clearly disorientated, he
doesn't understand why we're
there

109
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,902
and why he actually needs help.

110
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:38,472
Veteran lifeguard Azza backs
up.

111
00:05:40,107 --> 00:05:44,277
Lifeguards have no idea how
long the man was floating in
the surf

112
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:46,780
or how much water
he may have inhaled.

113
00:05:57,057 --> 00:06:00,661
The risk of having a second
seizure is at its highest

114
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:03,531
within 15 minutes of having
the first seizure,

115
00:06:03,564 --> 00:06:05,799
so we tried to get him into
the recovery position

116
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:07,034
as quickly as possible.

117
00:06:08,869 --> 00:06:11,038
Because he's been face down
in the water,

118
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:12,640
I'm worried that he may have
swallowed water

119
00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:15,476
or gotten some into his lungs,
which is called secondary
drowning.

120
00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:18,211
And if there's water on the
lungs, it's taking up valuable
space

121
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:20,814
for the oxygen that needs to go
throughout your system.

122
00:06:23,417 --> 00:06:24,985
There you go. There you go.
Just rest.

123
00:06:25,018 --> 00:06:26,454
Relax. We'll look after you.

124
00:06:26,487 --> 00:06:27,588
WOMAN:

125
00:06:27,655 --> 00:06:29,590
It's alright. We got him.
Can you sit over there?

126
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:31,859
OSHER: The man's mother
arrives on the scene.

127
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:35,228
She may have critical
information.

128
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,666
JACK:

129
00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:39,800
WOMAN:

130
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:41,234
JACK:

131
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:42,470
WOMAN:

132
00:06:42,503 --> 00:06:43,771
No drinking?
No.

133
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:45,939
You alright?

134
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,142
The patient's name is Paul.

135
00:06:49,176 --> 00:06:52,713
He and his mother have
travelled from the UK

136
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:54,214
to visit his sister.

137
00:06:57,485 --> 00:06:58,619
JACK:

138
00:06:58,652 --> 00:06:59,653
MAN: Yeah.

139
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:04,758
WOMAN ON PHONE:

140
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:07,995
HARRIES: Give me one sec.

141
00:07:11,098 --> 00:07:15,603
Can you just give me a little
bit more information about the
patient?

142
00:07:15,636 --> 00:07:17,971
JACK:

143
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:23,644
OSHER: Paul was surfing with
his sister's boyfriend

144
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:25,312
when he may have suffered a
seizure.

145
00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:38,458
Copy, Jack. Thank you.

146
00:07:41,094 --> 00:07:43,196
AZZA: We're just gonna move you
back a little bit.

147
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,766
Good boy. Good boy. Come on.

148
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,836
Just walk over here.
We'll walk away from the shore.

149
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:49,937
Come on.

150
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:53,874
With the rising tide,
lifeguards move Paul to higher
ground.

151
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:58,078
But he's still resisting help.

152
00:07:58,111 --> 00:07:59,747
MUM: Sit down.
Sit down here and relax.

153
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:01,281
Sit down for us, buddy.

154
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,916
What's his name?
Paul.

155
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,685
Paul? Paul, sit down for me,
please.

156
00:08:04,718 --> 00:08:07,087
We're just gonna help you out.
Paul, just sit down.

157
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,556
We're just helping you out.
Sit.

158
00:08:08,589 --> 00:08:10,223
You went unconscious in the
water, OK, buddy?

159
00:08:10,257 --> 00:08:11,925
PAUL:

160
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:13,393
You have, love.
Buddy, you're soaking wet.

161
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:15,395
You have. Sit. Paul, you need
to sit down, buddy.

162
00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:16,864
Whatever he's been through,

163
00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:19,366
it's obviously taken
a pretty massive toll on him.

164
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:22,402
He has no idea where he is,
where he's been

165
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:25,038
or that he's had a pretty
significant medical episode.

166
00:08:25,072 --> 00:08:28,208
Sit down for us, buddy. We're
just gonna help ya, that's it.

167
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,878
You're just gonna get your
breath back. You just need to
sit down.

168
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,848
You're soaking wet.
You've been in the water.

169
00:08:34,882 --> 00:08:36,483
You just got pulled
out of the water.

170
00:08:37,985 --> 00:08:41,388
If Paul doesn't comply with
lifeguards' instructions,

171
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:43,323
his condition could rapidly
worsen.

172
00:08:44,324 --> 00:08:46,627
Bend your legs.
Bend your legs, bend your legs.

173
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,261
You've gotta help us
help you, OK, mate?

174
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:51,965
Mate, you've gotta sit down.

175
00:08:57,204 --> 00:08:58,906
British tourist Paul

176
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:01,975
was found floating face down
in the surf.

177
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:04,912
Lifeguards suspect
he suffered a seizure.

178
00:09:04,945 --> 00:09:07,114
We're just gonna move you
back a little bit more.

179
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:08,115
Good boy. Good boy.

180
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,850
The information we've got is
that

181
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,019
he was unconscious in the water
for around five seconds.

182
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:15,122
You just need to sit down.
Mate, you've gotta sit down.

183
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:19,492
If he has water in his lungs,

184
00:09:19,526 --> 00:09:22,796
Paul is at serious risk
of secondary drowning.

185
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:24,998
But he is resisting treatment.

186
00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:26,634
You've gotta help us
help you, OK, mate?

187
00:09:29,136 --> 00:09:30,738
You're soaking wet.
You've been in the water.

188
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:32,372
You just got pulled
out of the water.

189
00:09:33,707 --> 00:09:35,142
I'm gonna help you sit down,
alright?

190
00:09:35,175 --> 00:09:36,644
Sit down for us, buddy.

191
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:40,814
There you go.
Good boy. Alright.

192
00:09:40,848 --> 00:09:43,416
You're alright, buddy.
We're just here to help you.

193
00:09:44,652 --> 00:09:47,788
Lifeguards' priority
is to administer oxygen.

194
00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:52,893
OK?

195
00:09:55,696 --> 00:09:58,699
But Paul's vital signs
are disturbing.

196
00:09:59,867 --> 00:10:01,802
JACK:

197
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:13,814
Copy, Jack.

198
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:19,419
His condition is still
precarious.

199
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:22,856
At this stage, he's got
quite poor saturation,

200
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:24,391
which is low oxygen,

201
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:26,193
and he's very poorly perfused,

202
00:10:26,226 --> 00:10:28,962
which means his blood isn't
moving as well as it could.

203
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:31,865
Based on the readings
that I'm getting,

204
00:10:31,899 --> 00:10:34,668
my first guess is
water in the lungs.

205
00:10:34,702 --> 00:10:37,404
OK, Paul, we're just gonna
roll you on your side again.

206
00:10:39,873 --> 00:10:42,442
It's right now that we need
the paramedics here as soon as
possible.

207
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:47,480
(SIREN WAILS)

208
00:10:47,514 --> 00:10:49,349
Here's the ambo now.

209
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:52,853
Time is quite critical
at the moment,

210
00:10:52,886 --> 00:10:55,188
so it's a real relief
when I can hear those sirens.

211
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:09,069
Yeah. Yeah, we'll get the
board.

212
00:11:11,739 --> 00:11:15,042
Tests will hopefully reveal
why Paul blacked out.

213
00:11:18,712 --> 00:11:21,782
But there is a more
immediate concern.

214
00:11:21,815 --> 00:11:23,851
The paramedics are fairly
certain

215
00:11:23,884 --> 00:11:26,086
that he's taken in
a bit of water in the lungs.

216
00:11:27,721 --> 00:11:29,422
So they've taken him off to
hospital

217
00:11:29,456 --> 00:11:31,224
to get that pumped back out.

218
00:11:31,258 --> 00:11:32,525
One, two, three.

219
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,296
All in all, I'd say the patient
was quite lucky.

220
00:11:36,329 --> 00:11:39,666
I hope he's doing OK and I
hope one day he can come back
to Bondi

221
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,202
and have another surf
without any drama this time.

222
00:11:43,603 --> 00:11:45,172
HARRIES:

223
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:48,175
If he was out the back, he
would have sunk. Far out.
We're so lucky.

224
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,978
So lucky that the surf
instructor's down here.

225
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,981
Paul spent a night in hospital

226
00:11:54,014 --> 00:11:55,448
to monitor his lungs.

227
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:58,819
A brain scan failed to reveal
if he had a seizure.

228
00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:01,221
Since returning to the UK,

229
00:12:01,254 --> 00:12:03,757
he's suffered no further
medical episodes.

230
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:08,061
(CHILLED MUSIC)

231
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:14,167
Patrolling the beach
are old mates Maxi and Chappo.

232
00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:15,969
Oh, handsome boy!
Oh, handsome!

233
00:12:16,003 --> 00:12:18,205
(BOTH LAUGH)

234
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:21,074
Maxi now only works as
a lifeguard part-time.

235
00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:24,511
Today is a rare treat for
Chappo.

236
00:12:24,544 --> 00:12:26,546
I definitely miss Maxi
now that he's not full-time,

237
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:29,549
but he's around a lot - you
know, he has time to come down

238
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,518
and put on the blue,
and he loves it.

239
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:33,486
Yeah, just a reminder
to the swimmers in front.

240
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,790
Can you please swim between
the red-and-yellow flags?
Thank you.

241
00:12:38,025 --> 00:12:41,161
From his days as a skinny
16-year-old schoolkid...

242
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:43,396
It's hectic that I'm working
on Bondi Beach.

243
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:44,832
It's just grouse.

244
00:12:44,865 --> 00:12:48,001
..Maxi has come of age at
Bondi.

245
00:12:48,035 --> 00:12:49,602
Max!
Hi, Max!

246
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:51,638
You're our favourite lifeguard!

247
00:12:51,671 --> 00:12:54,107
He's our favourite lifeguard.
And he's really cool.

248
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:58,611
He has performed hundreds of
lifesaving rescues

249
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:01,548
and had plenty of fun along the
way.

250
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:02,749
How does it go, Maxi?

251
00:13:04,952 --> 00:13:06,019
(LAUGHS)

252
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,961
From cooking up a storm
at Christmas...

253
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:15,929
I'll give it another hour.

254
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:19,632
..to riding a storm.

255
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:22,235
(LAUGHS)

256
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:24,271
Ohh!

257
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:26,673
Maxi's a great guy.

258
00:13:26,706 --> 00:13:29,409
You know, I've kind of been
there every step of the way

259
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:32,612
to see Maxi come through
as a trainee, schoolkid,

260
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:35,348
into one of our best lifeguards
on the beach.

261
00:13:35,382 --> 00:13:36,416
It's amazing.

262
00:13:36,449 --> 00:13:41,054
These days, Maxi is
a full-time fireman,

263
00:13:41,088 --> 00:13:44,791
runs his own charity and even
writes children's books.

264
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,759
Kids are gonna love it.
Absolutely.

265
00:13:46,793 --> 00:13:48,295
It's gonna save some lives too.

266
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:51,631
But he still fits in the odd
lifeguard shift when he can.

267
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:54,401
I'm so fortunate to be given
the opportunity to be a
lifeguard.

268
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:56,269
It's been a massive part of my
life.

269
00:13:56,303 --> 00:13:58,505
The mateship and the teamwork
makes it.

270
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:01,041
And I love it. It's like home.

271
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:03,443
Hopefully I've got another
15, 16 years in me.

272
00:14:05,078 --> 00:14:07,780
Maxi and Chappo are stationed
at north end.

273
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:11,384
All of a sudden,
someone comes running up

274
00:14:11,418 --> 00:14:13,921
saying that there's
a situation unfolding

275
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:15,422
down the south end of the
beach.

276
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:18,158
MAN:

277
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:19,359
Alright.

278
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:23,530
CHAPPO:

279
00:14:25,165 --> 00:14:29,102
You know something's serious
when multiple people across
the beach

280
00:14:29,136 --> 00:14:30,971
are waving their arms
frantically.

281
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:36,276
Beachgoers have reported two
swimmers

282
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:39,079
swept out in the notorious
Backpackers Rip.

283
00:14:39,112 --> 00:14:42,182
As we were driving south,
it was quite difficult

284
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,251
to locate where these patients
were.

285
00:14:47,154 --> 00:14:48,888
Oh, shit.
Out the back.

286
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:56,997
CHAPPO:

287
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:09,276
Maxi charges out
for the 100m paddle...

288
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,814
..as Chappo does the detective
work.

289
00:15:14,847 --> 00:15:16,783
Thanks, matey. What happened?

290
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:24,357
Yeah, good onya, mate. Thank
you.

291
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:31,564
In this case, the rip was
quite far out to sea.

292
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:33,666
I was going as hard as I could.

293
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,037
It was quite a long paddle.

294
00:15:38,805 --> 00:15:40,707
Am I gonna get there in time?

295
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:42,642
Is there multiple casualties?

296
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:45,245
You know, all these things
are running through your mind.

297
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:47,214
There's a lot going on.

298
00:15:47,247 --> 00:15:49,082
CHAPPO:

299
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:50,383
MAN:

300
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:52,119
Alright.

301
00:15:52,152 --> 00:15:54,187
MAN:

302
00:15:58,391 --> 00:16:01,494
I initially get out there and
I could see two people out the
back.

303
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:04,231
And this surfer's helping out.

304
00:16:04,264 --> 00:16:06,466
Alright, come over here,
brother.

305
00:16:12,005 --> 00:16:15,008
The rescue was only half done.
We needed to get him back into
shore.

306
00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:18,278
These two swimmers
were quite distressed

307
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:19,612
and panicky.

308
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:21,714
Alright, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop.

309
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:24,017
Hop back in. Hop back in.

310
00:16:24,051 --> 00:16:25,952
Come over here, boss.

311
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:29,589
As Maxi tries to get the
panicking patients on board...

312
00:16:29,622 --> 00:16:30,957
Turn around. Turn around.

313
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:34,594
..he spots an empty surfboard
floating on the surface.

314
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:39,099
Where's the third person?

315
00:16:39,132 --> 00:16:41,301
Where's this other person?
Who's on this board?

316
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:44,904
So, where's the person
for that board, though?

317
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,174
Do we have a missing person
on our hands here?

318
00:16:48,608 --> 00:16:50,877
It's a very serious situation
unfolding

319
00:16:50,910 --> 00:16:53,413
and I need to work out
exactly where this person is.

320
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:07,727
Maxi has paddled 100m to rescue
two struggling swimmers...

321
00:17:10,997 --> 00:17:13,166
Alright, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop.

322
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,136
Yeah, stay there for a sec.
So whose board is this?

323
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:21,408
..but an unattended surfboard
has raised alarm.

324
00:17:21,441 --> 00:17:24,977
I saw a board floating with
no-one on it or around it.

325
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,979
Where's the person for
that board, though?

326
00:17:27,013 --> 00:17:29,249
You need to get reassurance
by other people out there,

327
00:17:29,282 --> 00:17:30,717
because they've helped
with the situation.

328
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:32,419
MAN:

329
00:17:33,653 --> 00:17:35,222
Oh, that's her board?

330
00:17:37,257 --> 00:17:38,558
OK. Awesome.

331
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:40,527
I was quite relieved

332
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,663
to see a person further out
holding onto another surfboard.

333
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:47,567
She kindly donated her board
to help with these drowning
swimmers.

334
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,836
Turn around. OK, spin around.

335
00:17:49,869 --> 00:17:52,139
We didn't have another
missing person on our hands.

336
00:17:52,172 --> 00:17:53,606
You come over here.

337
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,108
Now the primary focus was

338
00:17:55,142 --> 00:17:56,976
to get these two patients
on my board

339
00:17:57,009 --> 00:17:58,678
back to shore safely.

340
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:01,481
But easier said than done.

341
00:18:01,514 --> 00:18:04,151
You move up. Move up.

342
00:18:04,184 --> 00:18:06,085
Move up?
Yep.

343
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,955
And you hop on.

344
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:10,557
Because we were quite far
out to sea,

345
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:13,493
you know, half the challenge
was getting them on the board
safely.

346
00:18:13,526 --> 00:18:15,528
Hop on top of him.
Hop on top of him.

347
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:18,231
Required a bit of a wrestle.

348
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:20,400
Alright, come back. Lay down.

349
00:18:21,901 --> 00:18:23,870
They weren't really listening
to what I had to say.

350
00:18:23,903 --> 00:18:25,037
They were quite panicky.

351
00:18:26,273 --> 00:18:27,307
Oi.

352
00:18:28,308 --> 00:18:29,876
What are you doing?

353
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:31,978
Oi! Hey!

354
00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:37,116
There was one point
where we fully rolled.

355
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:46,159
I need to take control of that
situation very quickly.

356
00:18:51,231 --> 00:18:53,533
Oi! Hey! Stop.

357
00:18:53,566 --> 00:18:55,335
I'm getting youse in, alright?

358
00:18:55,368 --> 00:18:56,803
No more Mr Nice Guy!

359
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:59,406
You, hop on the board.

360
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,675
They didn't speak much English,
but when I roused on 'em,

361
00:19:02,709 --> 00:19:05,345
they started to learn very
quickly.

362
00:19:05,378 --> 00:19:08,114
Alright. Now, you come back,
in the white shirt. Come back.

363
00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:10,183
Alright. Lay down.

364
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:12,919
Alright. OK. We're good.

365
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:15,154
Just try and keep your balance
on the board.

366
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:16,189
OK.

367
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:20,427
Rescuing two patients
on the one board

368
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:23,230
requires exceptional
strength and balance.

369
00:19:23,263 --> 00:19:24,997
As soon as they listened,

370
00:19:25,031 --> 00:19:27,300
we got 'em on the board
nice and quickly and safely

371
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:29,202
and we made our way back to
shore.

372
00:19:32,372 --> 00:19:33,906
Alright.

373
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,011
PATIENT:

374
00:19:44,050 --> 00:19:45,585
Where youse were swimming,

375
00:19:45,618 --> 00:19:47,720
'Dangerous Current' sign.

376
00:19:47,754 --> 00:19:49,188
OK.
Not good.

377
00:19:49,222 --> 00:19:51,624
This? OK to protect you
from the sun,

378
00:19:51,658 --> 00:19:53,760
but when you swim, very hard.

379
00:19:53,793 --> 00:19:55,695
Doesn't matter how many
rescues you do,

380
00:19:55,728 --> 00:19:58,431
it's always a relief
to have the patients

381
00:19:58,465 --> 00:20:01,033
back on the shore
after a serious rescue

382
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:02,935
and they're alive and well.

383
00:20:02,969 --> 00:20:04,837
You OK?
Yes, sir.

384
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:06,939
You OK? Alright. Sweet.

385
00:20:06,973 --> 00:20:08,741
See you later.

386
00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:10,377
Board back on the rack.

387
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:12,178
Back in the bike with Chappo.

388
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:13,713
What's next?

389
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:18,485
(RELAXED MUSIC)

390
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:23,222
Shadows lengthen.

391
00:20:23,256 --> 00:20:25,792
Another busy day at Bondi.

392
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:29,095
But before Maxi and Chappo
can pack up,

393
00:20:29,128 --> 00:20:32,632
the beach has one more
challenge in store.

394
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:34,634
It's the job that keeps on
giving.

395
00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:36,969
You know, just when you think
you've seen it all,

396
00:20:37,003 --> 00:20:38,671
it keeps delivering.

397
00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:42,709
Yep. Again.

398
00:20:44,143 --> 00:20:46,713
You want us? You want us?
(BLEEP)!

399
00:20:50,783 --> 00:20:52,752
(BLEEP)!

400
00:20:52,785 --> 00:20:54,387
There is never a dull moment.

401
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:56,956
Oh, no.

402
00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:59,058
You could see someone's holding

403
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:01,127
something that was going
down towards his leg.

404
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:03,530
What's happened?

405
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:06,499
It looked like it was a
personal matter - put it that
way.

406
00:21:18,177 --> 00:21:20,580
As lifeguards pack up for the
day,

407
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:23,683
there's something fishy
going on at the beach.

408
00:21:25,352 --> 00:21:27,086
It's the job that keeps on
giving.

409
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,322
You know, just when you think
you've seen it all,

410
00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:31,057
it keeps delivering.

411
00:21:31,090 --> 00:21:32,359
(BLEEP)!

412
00:21:34,093 --> 00:21:36,262
What's going on here?
(BLEEP)!

413
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,565
You could see someone
holding something

414
00:21:38,598 --> 00:21:41,334
that was going down
towards his legs.

415
00:21:41,368 --> 00:21:43,970
It looked like it was a
personal matter - put it that
way.

416
00:21:45,004 --> 00:21:46,373
Hi, mate.

417
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:47,707
What's happened?

418
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:49,776
As we rolled right up
to the patient,

419
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:52,879
we noticed that there was a big
fish hook stuck in his calf.

420
00:21:52,912 --> 00:21:56,683
We were quite relieved
that it was in a spot

421
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:59,118
where we could get easy access
to - put it that way.

422
00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:02,489
It's alright, buddy.

423
00:22:02,522 --> 00:22:04,323
It's alright. So it's just
there.

424
00:22:04,357 --> 00:22:07,794
39-year-old local Felix
has been hooked.

425
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:10,329
FELIX: I just stepped in the
water.

426
00:22:10,363 --> 00:22:12,131
It was just in the weeds.

427
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:15,435
I mean, fishermen need to be
more responsible. That's the
message.

428
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:21,808
I'm no expert getting fish
hooks out of people's legs,

429
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:24,143
but, you know, I thought,
"We're there. Let's have a
crack."

430
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,845
Wiggle it. Wiggle it a bit.
Yeah.

431
00:22:25,878 --> 00:22:27,514
Yes.
It's alright, brother.

432
00:22:27,547 --> 00:22:29,849
Yeah. Is it painful?

433
00:22:29,882 --> 00:22:31,584
Yep.

434
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:33,653
It's funny - like,
it was only a little hook,

435
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:36,689
but if you've ever dealt with
fish hooks before,

436
00:22:36,723 --> 00:22:38,290
they can be bloody hard to get
out.

437
00:22:38,324 --> 00:22:40,593
So the predicament that we're
in is that, you know,

438
00:22:40,627 --> 00:22:42,729
it's gonna hurt
when you pull it out.

439
00:22:42,762 --> 00:22:44,731
Alright, three, two, one. Go.

440
00:22:44,764 --> 00:22:46,132
Ahh!

441
00:22:46,165 --> 00:22:47,934
(GROANS)
No!

442
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:50,637
Pretty stoked, man. (LAUGHS)

443
00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:53,372
There was quite a crowd
building now

444
00:22:53,406 --> 00:22:55,408
watching this first aid unfold.

445
00:22:55,442 --> 00:22:57,076
And I think they were quite
hooked

446
00:22:57,109 --> 00:22:59,512
by what was unfolding
in front of them.

447
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,551
I kinda...

448
00:23:05,785 --> 00:23:07,219
..cleared the flesh away
from the barb.

449
00:23:07,253 --> 00:23:09,255
(GROANS)
Oh, sorry, mate.

450
00:23:09,288 --> 00:23:12,224
(LAUGHS) Yeah, it was...
it was quite gruesome.

451
00:23:12,258 --> 00:23:14,627
There it is. See the hook?

452
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:18,465
And then...

453
00:23:18,498 --> 00:23:20,266
..brought the hook out.

454
00:23:20,299 --> 00:23:21,668
Oi!

455
00:23:21,701 --> 00:23:23,169
(ONLOOKERS CHEER AND APPLAUD)

456
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:24,704
Thank you so much.

457
00:23:25,705 --> 00:23:27,874
There's a bit of hair there,
but...

458
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,742
You got it.
Yeah.

459
00:23:29,776 --> 00:23:31,210
Thanks, mate.
You wanna keep it?

460
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,580
Uh, no. (CONTINUES
INDISTINCTLY) (LAUGHS)

461
00:23:33,613 --> 00:23:36,215
Took us a little while,
but we finally released.

462
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:37,717
(ONLOOKERS CHEER)

463
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:40,152
You know, quick kiss and threw
him back in the ocean.

464
00:23:40,186 --> 00:23:42,288
He's gone surfing.
See, he's back out there.

465
00:23:43,456 --> 00:23:45,792
Fish hook in the leg -
crowd pleaser.

466
00:23:45,825 --> 00:23:47,794
(MAN CHEERS)

467
00:23:49,529 --> 00:23:53,633
OSHER: Next time, a family's
agony.

468
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:56,669
A full-scale emergency after
hours.

469
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:01,841
And Baggis has a nude
awakening.

470
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:03,943
Ooh! Baggis!

471
00:24:03,976 --> 00:24:05,545
(LAUGHS)

472
00:24:05,578 --> 00:24:08,781
I've never seen so many nude
people in my life. (LAUGHS)

473
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:13,252
