Alright, take it easy.
Can't take it easy. Fellas, fellas.
(TENSE MUSIC)
My kids were on the bus. Their names are Poppy and Joe.
Mum? Poppy!
Poppy tells me that you and your son have an IGA deficiency.
And Poppy hasn't been tested?
Yeah, yeah.
We've done everything we can and you're losing too much blood.
The only way to free you is to remove your lower leg.
Joey. Honey, it's Mum.
Come on darling, open your eyes.
Someone's going to have to stay behind.
Poppy, Taylor and the driver will go.
I think it's the wrong call.
No, you can't just leave him here.
Joey.
Time of death, 9:36pm.
You knew that that bus driver was on drugs
and you still saved that junkie over my boy.
What if it was your kid?
What do you reckon, Mira Ortez? You want to marry me?
Yes. Lee, I passed the medical.
I'm sorry, I have to stand you down.
My kidney function has dropped, 40%.
I've decided to not have the baby.
A vial of fentanyl's missing.
You think Chaya took the fentanyl?
I think you'll have to take some time off
until we figure out what's happened.
Don't bother. I quit.
Because I've still got, um, feelings for you.
Sometimes I feel you really get me, like the holiday with Henry.
Yeah, well, the holiday wasn't me either, so...
What? It was Leonie's idea.
You knew I didn't have the IGA stuff, didn't you?
You lied to me for 18 years.
Poppy. Get out of my way!
Poppy, please just let me explain. Please.
Anna, are you OK?
Do you have kids?
Sorry? Kids.
Ah...
Is that your son? Yeah.
What's his name? Henry.
What's the worst pain you've ever seen him in?
Ah... Like a broken arm or illness or...
Well, um, he had pneumonia once
when he was eight or nine.
He was in hospital for a few days.
It's the worst, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Just sitting there looking at them.
Doing deals with God to find some loophole.
I mean, there's got to be one, doesn't there?
There's got to be a way to swap places or blood or a leg.
It's so obvious.
I should be able to give my kid my health
and take away their pain.
I mean, how is that not possible?
Anna, I-I am so sorry
for everything that's happened to your family.
But it didn't just happen, did it?
You made it happen.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
When you left my kid to die
and then defended the man who killed him.
I only gave evidence...
And now you've decided that I'm not a mother to my own daughter?
What? I don't think that at all.
Taylor told her because of you.
I was going to tell her. That was mine to tell her.
Anna, that uh, that should not have happened.
Please tell me, what do you need? What can I do?
What you should have done at the beginning of all of this.
I want you to apologise for what you did.
Apologise? For all of it.
For everything that you've done
since you left Joe to die on the side of the road.
Here.
What if it was your son?
I want you to think about if it was your son
and then you tell me the truth.
Anna, the truth is I'm sorry for your loss,
but if I had to make the same decision tomorrow, I would.
You are a liar!
I'm a liar?
What about you?
Excuse me?
You are Poppy's mother
but you knew that you weren't biologically related.
You knew you couldn't haven given her your IGA deficiency
and you didn't tell me when I asked you at the bus crash.
Now, I think that some of this anger that you have towards me
is grief for Joe and possibly regret for Poppy.
And Anna, you're right.
I can't imagine if this were Henry.
And I've thought about this so many times.
Henry and Joe are the same age.
No, they're not!
They are not the same age! Eliza?
He will never be the same age as Joe
because your kids gets to get older and my kid doesn't!
Anna! He will never travel.
He will never fall in love. Anna!
He will never see the world. Anna!
He will never have kids.
And it's all because of what you did.
Anna, open this door, Anna.
And I need you to admit that. Anna, stop!
I've lost everything because of her!
I wanted to take Jo on the plane too, did you know that?
Then I wish you were in charge.
No, no you don't.
Anna, if I'd got my way,
we would have been so under the pump trying to save Joe's lif
that we wouldn't have had the time
or the resources left to save Poppy's.
And you know what? Joe still would have died.
Anna, no matter what we did, he would have died.
His head injuries were so severe.
But trust me, if we took him, Poppy could have died too.
You wanna blame someone, I get it mate.
I, I've been there myself but if you're going to blame anyone,
blame me for sending Joe up the road in the first place
Eliza made the right call.
And she saved your daughter.
She doesn't want to be my daughter anymore.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Anna. Anna.
Are you alright? Yeah.
Hey.
I'll call the police.
Just make sure that they check that she's OK.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
So, here's what I'm thinking, right.
I'll start out as MC and then about half way through,
I'll come out as Miley, perform a few tricks, a few numbers,
bit of Aretha, Cher, Britney.
Rod Stewart.
Man, it baffles me that
you still don't understand how drag works.
What's the, uh, Bridal Waltz going to be,
'The Power of Love' by Celine Dion or Huey Lewis?
Close. 'I'm Horny' by Hot-n-Juicy.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Hey relax, Grandma will be watching RuPaul's
at the reception by the time I'm done with it.
When are you going to fit in your best man speech?
Pete will be best man,
so, him and Wayne can have their big hetero hug and cry
without anyone judging them.
Excuse me? I'll be Maid of Honour.
You probably will actually.
Anyway, to the fiances.
Hey! About bloody time.
Sorry, sorry, sorry I'm late.
Good to see you. Good timing.
Good to see you, mate. Hello, mate.
How's Taylor recovering? The surgeon said it went well.
Good, uh, she's resting up in hospital now
with Darren and, um, gets out in the morning.
And wouldn't you know, we got rostered on
to the same transfer at the exact same hospital.
Oh, you're picking her up?
Nephrologist's orders. Oh, mate, thank you.
Oh, there it is, the big hetero hug we were talking about.
Oh, you're missing out, are you? Come here. Come here.
(LAUGHTER)
(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
Are you guys still thinking about doing that,
like an underwater wedding?
(LAUGHTER)
So, anyone heard from Chaya?
She's not answering my calls.
Oh, she'll come round. She loves you.
So, how's all that going to affect the contract tender?
We'll find out.
Is Chaya still coming to the memorial?
I'm not sure.
Apparently she hasn't ventured far off the couch.
What, really? Mm.
Speaking of the memorial,
uh, I was going to tell you later but Anna called this morning.
She apologised for the distress she caused
and to say that you're all welcome at the memorial.
Everyone.
What, is she planning an ambush this time, is she?
Well, she didn't really do anything.
She locked you in a room and threatened you with a knife.
It was a scalpel actually.
I'm glad you find it funny.
Well, it's not ha-ha funny.
She should be in a facility.
Not according to her psychiatrist.
Because you didn't make
a complaint to the police.
This is an engagement party.
Why don't we talk dresses and weird cousins
that you don't really want to invite?
(LAUGHTER)
Have fun. I've got to head off.
Oh. Thanks for coming.
Congratulations you two.
Thanks for coming, mate. Yeah.
See you soon. Alright, see ya.
Bye.
Hey.
Are we ever going to discuss this?
Was it a discussion? I thought it was a directive.
Hey, you put me in a really difficult position.
You put me out of a job I've been doing for nearly 40 years.
Look, I'm sorry you got injured.
But you and I both know
you should not be in the air right now.
And you need to stop punishing me for it.
It's almost like I should have a rule.
Don't date colleagues.
(LAUGHS)
Well, you can't shut yourself off from happiness
just in case things might get messy.
It's not just messy.
I keep dropping the ball. I went on a holiday.
If this contract fails, then I've only got myself to blame.
Leonie, it is alright to do something for yourself occasionally.
Mm.
Also, you organised me the best holiday I've had in years.
I did? Yeah.
Ryan told me the trip to the reef with Henry was your idea.
You're welcome, but it was Pete's idea.
What?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I was just logistics.
It was all Pete.
So, what's happening with Darren?
He's driving back tomorrow.
And, uh, Pete, with Taylor and Darren moving home,
do you get relegated back to the spare room?
Yeah, the spare room.
No, all the way back to Adelaide actually.
What's this?
He's too much of a city boy now.
You're moving back to Adelaide?
Yeah, just got to give Taylor some space, you know?
When? Ah like-like after this rotation.
Yeah, I convinced a flight nurse mate to swap here,
so, Wayne's promised me
an honourable discharge this time, haven't you?
Didn't say honourable.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Yeah, speaking of which, I can already hear Taylor giving me
shit about the state of that bathroom,
so, I should probably get home and start cleaning the house and...
You are going to need more bleach, my friend.
Good luck with the move, mate.
Yeah, cheers.
Um...
I'll see you round.
Bye.
Yep.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
You sure you're going to be OK?
Yeah.
I'll see you back there.
Hey, got a pick up for a Taylor Emerson?
(LAUGHTER)
Hey guys.
How you feeling, darling?
Like this is all too much.
Rubbish. We're blood now.
But I'm not having the baby.
Doesn't change a thing.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGS)
Wayne, ACC on the line.
RFDS, Dr Yates speaking?
Any other crews available?
Alright, give me a sec.
Matty, P3, 25-year-old woman, two weeks postpartum.
Endometritis at Bollards.
Ongoing fever, on antibiotics.
You're the midwife. What do you reckon?
How urgent is this?
Um, normally I'd play it safe and bring her in but...
Is everything alright?
Yeah, all good.
Why are you giving me weird looks then, both of you?
Just, ah, a low acuity patient.
You just said you'd bring her in.
She had a baby two weeks ago but she's developed an infection.
Wait, you can't not pick her up because of me.
We have to get her.
You sure?
Yeah. I'll be fine. Just get to the patient.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Hello?
Chaya?
Oh, that's aggressive.
The door was unlocked. You weren't answering your phone.
I don't think that's a defence in court, Gray.
Flat white, bagel.
Is that what you're wearing?
I'm not going. What?
I don't think Leonie wants a drug thief at a memorial.
It's not a great look for the brand. Is this oat milk?
Yeah.
She's just worried about you. Everyone is.
They think I stole Schedule 8 drugs and screwed up the contract.
No mate, they believe you.
Oh, yeah, I-I think you're right actually.
The, um, the accusations of theft felt like a ringing endorsement.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, they turned that entire base upside down trying to find the fent.
You know Matty even stayed out searching Alex's station for it.
Come on. Poppy and Anna need you.
No, they don't.
They need me to stay far away from them.
What-what are you talking about?
I've completely failed them.
I go round telling people to-to reach out
and to talk about how they feel and-and what do I do?
I just...
I mean, look at me. I can't even take care of myself.
You organised this memorial.
The Christmas party, Poppy's blade.
No-one's worked harder than you to help these people.
You haven't failed them.
Unless you fail to show up now.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
How you feeling, Freya?
I've just never been away from my daughter for this long.
Didn't really realise how hard it would be.
Tay, you right?
Sorry, I just...
What-what do you need?
I just have to... I have to...
I need to like, I need to go.
Hey Tay, why don't you come up the front with me?
I can't do it.
I'm sorry, I thought I could handle it.
And I can't breathe either. It's OK.
It's a completely normal feeling, alright?
What if I never can? What if I can never have a family?
Remember what Eliza said?
She said there's no reason
why you can't have a healthy bub one day.
Wayne, BP's dropped, 70 systolic.
Heart rate's fast, 130.
Feeling OK, Freya?
Just cramps. Um...
I think I'm bleeding.
Ah, yeah, Wayne, there's a fair bit of blood.
Could that just be my period?
Uh, not this soon after birth.
Do you mind if I check your pad, Freya, is that alright?
Yeah.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Yeah, Wayne, clots and fresh blood.
How big are the clots? Big enough.
We don't have any blood with us.
Freya, is it alright if I, uh, just put my hand on your abdomen?
Is that OK? Yeah.
Just going to b a little bit of discomfort, alright.
Her uterus is boggy.
I reckon it's a secondary haemorrhage.
She could bleed out.
I'm going to keep doing a fundal rub here
to try and contract the uterus.
Let's run an infusion of oxytocin and TXA,
try and stop the bleeding, yeah.
That'll be too slow.
You think?
Yeah, we need to contract this uterus immediately.
She needs a 10-unit injection of oxytocin into her thigh now.
Let's do it. OK.
Sorry for not noticing anything.
I've been such a crap friend.
Oh, no, you've been focussed on Taylor.
Well, mostly Taylor, with a healthy dose of Eliza.
Not sure how healthy it is.
Wait, is that still going on?
Uh, I'll let you two catch up. I'm going to find Poppy.
So, that's why you're buggering off to Adelaide again.
Yeah, so a word of advice, learn from my mistakes.
Hey?
How hard do you reckon it was for Leonie to do what she did?
Don't screw things up with her
by being a stubborn dickhead like I was.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Hey Pop.
Hey. I didn't know if you'd make it.
I can leave...
No, I'm so relieved you're here.
Hey.
I'm so sorry again about how everything went.
You're not the one who spen the last 18 years lying to me, so...
Is your mum here? Have you spoken to her yet?
No, she just keeps leaving me messages.
I know you're angry.
I just think your mum's really scared.
Fear is like...
Nothing makes you do things you regret like fear does.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
She's still bleeding.
OK, yeah, the oxytocin isn't doing anything.
Freya, I just need to have another quick look
if that's alright, OK?
What's happening? Hang on a sec.
How far are we from hospital, Mira?
Uh, about 90.
It's too far to get blood.
I think she needs bimanual compression.
Really? Yeah.
We need to contract the uterus and the oxytocin isn't cutting it.
You're the midwife. What do you need?
Uh, Mira, call ACC, get perinatal on the phone.
Wayne, prep some fentanyl please.
Got it.
What's going on?
Hey Freya, um,
you're losing a lot of blood and if it keeps going,
it could become life threatening.
So, what I need to do is I need to physically push inside you
to stop the bleeding.
I'm not gonna lie.
It's gonna hurt quite a lot
but I really need your consent to try.
(NODS)
Yeah, OK.
Freya, hi. My name's Taylor.
Hey, what's your daughter's name again?
Quinn. Quinn.
Oh, my god, I love that name.
Hey, do you have any photos of her on your phone there?
I love babies.
Oh, let me guess,
absolutely zero photos of anyone else since she was born?
You have kids then?
Just cute family members.
OK, Freya,
I'm going to get you to lift and widen your knees for me please.
You've got this, OK? You've got it.
Alright, I'm going to be as quick and as gentle as possible, OK?
Here Freya.
Here she is, here's your Quinn.
You can do it.
You've got this. You can do it, Freya.
It's OK, Freya. You just focus on your bub.
Look at her, look at Quinn.
There's still a lot of blood coming out.
I'm sorry Freya, just rest now.
I think we're going to have to try something else.
What about aortic compression? No.
I think she needs tamponade.
Does the obstetrics kit have a Bakry balloon?
No.
And we don't have a trauma kit,
so no Blakemore either.
Nope.
Well, what are you thinking?
I think... we're going to have to make one.
Grab my go bag.
Matty, we don't have a balloon catheter.
Yeah, but we do have a urinary catheter.
Grab an umbilical tie from the neonate kit
and, uh, 500ml saline.
Tay, red bag.
Matty, aren't you forgetting about the actual balloon bit?
Nope.
Front pocket.
Always prepared hey?
I'm a hopeless optimist.
Hey. You right?
Yeah, just... Chaya, have you got a sec?
Yeah. Not sure she does.
It's fine, Gray. It's fine.
Um...
Look, I just...
I wanted to say sorry for all the Matty stuff, you know.
I had no idea how tight you guys are.
Were, but, um, it's not your problem
and honestly I'm-I'm happy for you guys.
Well, we're not together anymore so...
He broke it off at New Year's.
Um, sorry-sorry to hear that.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Yeah, that's watertight.
Wait, what are you doing now?
OK, so we've tried pressure from outside.
Now, we're going to create pressure with this balloon
from inside the uterus to stop the bleeding.
Taylor, are you OK to give us a hand?
Um, yeah, yeah. What do you...
Just grab that bag of saline behind me.
This one? That's it.
Hold it up.
OK.
Alright Freya, bit of pressure here again.
Yep, you're in.
Alright, we're inside the uterus.
Let's inflate that balloon.
Taylor, just roll that little stop up.
This one?
Yeah, and squeeze the saline until I tell you to stop.
Keep squeezing.
Alright, that's 200 mils. Balloon's inflating.
That's 300.
She's still bleeding. Keep going.
400.
OK, OK, I can feel it pushing back out the cervix.
That's as far as we can go.
Well, what happens now?
Now, we wait and see if she stops bleeding.
Come on, Freya. Come on.
Heart rate's not changing, Matty.
Come on. How's the bleeding?
No, change.
Come on, Freya.
Come on.
The bleeding's easing.
OK. Alright, BP's borderline.
Hang on, is she getting better or...
Yeah, that's a good thing. A lower BP won't break up the clots.
She's stabilising.
But she still needs blood and surgery,
so, let's get her to town.
You did it.
You can explain the condom to the surgeon.
(SIGHS)
I said the memorial started at 2:00.
No, you said 3:00.
Besides, do you really want any extra time with Anna?
I mean, are you sure about this?
Anna said that everyone is welcome.
Yeah, but what about everyone else in town?
They know Owen's charges were downgraded because of you.
Owen's charges were downgraded
because he didn't take anything illegal.
Mm-hmm.
Any other medical professional would have given the same evidence.
Like Pete?
Excuse me?
Is there something that you want to say?
Do you still have feelings for him?
What?
Do you still have feelings for Pete?
This is what you want to discuss now?
Just answer me. Do you still have feelings for him?
(SCOFFS)
What are you doing?
Ryan?
The memorial has already started.
Can we just talk about this later?
Broken Hill 3-4 this is base.
Reports of smoke and potential structure fire
25ks south west of Kingsley.
You're in the area, right?
Base, Broken Hill 3-4.
We're just off the highway about 10ks south of Kingsley.
Uh, you got a location?
Looks like somewhere on the Galanis Station,
but we can't get a hold of the owner.
That's Anna's property.
(TENSE MUSIC)
There. There's the smoke.
Broken Hill 3-4 to base.
We have a single storey structure fire at Galanis Station.
Smoke on view with a possible person inside.
Oh, no. Here, here.
Grab one of these respirators. I'm going to do a quick 360.
Do not go inside until I say so, alright?
Anna? Anna?
Anna, are you in there? Anna? Anna!
Anna.
Anna. Anna, are you there?
Anna!
(COUGHS) Ryan, I can see her on the couch!
Just wait until I've knocked it down.
Come on, pick up.
Have you seen Anna? No, no.
She said she was going to drive herself in so...
Chaya? Yeah.
Mum's not answering.
Eliza, are you alright?
There's a fire at Galanis Station. Anna's inside.
Bring oxygen and any gear you've got.
Yeah, but are you OK?
I have to get inside. Eliza?
Ryan, I'm going in.
No Eliza, wait!
Eli...
What is it? What's going on?
Anna? Anna.
Ryan, we need to get her out.
Anna, can you hear me?
Open your eyes, Anna.
Broken Hill 3-4 to base.
Conducted initial knockdown with hose.
Require overhaul and mop up of shed.
Her breaths are faint.
She need CPR?
No, just breaths. She has a pulse.
Can you call Leonie? We need a plane now!
Your mum would be so proud of you, darling.
Is Freya going to be OK?
She's doing much better thanks to you and Matty.
Thanks for trusting me.
Mate, I trust you.
At Timmy's funeral I'd be dead if it wasn't for you.
And you were only there in the first place
to keep me company.
I mean, don't get me wrong,
you annoy the absolute shit out of me sometimes.
You've been a good friend to me, Matty.
And you're an exceptional flight nurse.
And groomsman, if you're up for it.
You annoy the shit out of me too.
(LAUGHTER)
(PHONE RINGS)
Leonie, hey?
Mira, there's a fire at Galanis Station.
Eliza is there with Anna.
Potential burns and alcohol and drug overdose.
It's on your flight path. How critical is your patient?
Uh, she's currently stable but needs bloods and theatre.
We'd have to scoop and run at Galanis.
Yeah, and the issue is the strip there hasn't been checked
since the rain.
Well, we can't afford the travel time from Kingsley.
Any other planes nearby?
No.
Hang on, incoming call from Graham. Gray?
Pete and I are going to Anna's now.
Are you guys on your way?
Mate, we've got a patient and Kingsley's going to be too far.
And the strip hasn't been checked.
Keep heading towards Anna's and I'll get back to you, OK?
Copy that.
What does the Troopie weigh?
What?
Did I stutter? The Troopie, what does it weigh?
About two and a bit tonne. Why?
We need to head to the strip,
fill it with half a tonne of whatever we can find.
And I'll need to drive.
Pete, we're going to peel off and I'm going to run the strip.
Copy that.
Hey, Eliza's with her, OK?
The last thing I said to her
was that I never wanted to see her again.
Alright, I've knocked down those flames.
I'm going inside to mop it up.
Come on, Anna.
Do you have oxygen?
Yes, iStat and IV but not much more than that.
She needs 100% O2 and a blood gas.
Is she burnt?
She could be.
I think the redness is from carbon monoxide poisoning
but there's also a chance of an OD on alcohol and antidepressants.
Chaya, Poppy, can you go to the house.
Get cling film, water, towels, blankets, anything you can find?
Yep, on it.
Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I'll keep bagging and masking.
Can you get access? Yep.
She needs fluids and possibly intubation.
We don't have an intubation kit.
What? Any word on a plane?
Ah, Graham's working on it.
(TENSE MUSIC)
So, are you going to tell me
what the half tonne of tyres are for?
Graham, what's happening?
I'll tell you in about 30 seconds.
(COUGHS)
Hey? Are you sure you're OK?
Yeah, just not fit enough to drag people out of fires it seems.
Here. Ah, cling wrap, blankets, water.
Is she going to be OK?
We're doing everything we can.
Chaya, can you check limbs for burns please?
Just really red.
It could be first degree diffuse but...
Yeah, it could be the carbon monoxide poisoning too.
Can you hold up these fluids for me, please?
Thank you. Please help her.
I know she's been like awful to you
but she's really a good person, I promise.
I am going to do everything within my power
to save your mother.
Do you understand?
Poppy?
Anna? Mum?
Anna, are you there? Hey Pop.
Mum, what happened? There was a... there was a fire.
Were you trying to hurt yourself?
I was lighting candles for Joe.
I didn't... It's OK, it's OK.
Sweetheart, I should have told you.
It doesn't matter.
It does matter.
You should know your real mum.
You're my real mum.
(SOBS)
Thank you for everything.
It's OK. Just try and rest.
I'm so sorry.
Hey. It's alright.
Anna? Anna? Anna?
Her airway might be compromised.
Anna? Anna?
Is that the alcohol?
Maybe.
Chaya, what about that plane?
What do you reckon? Much discomfort?
Hey? Discomfort.
Are you as a passenger in any discomfort?
Only with this line of questioning.
Wait 'til I tell you my thoughts on Chaya.
Guidelines say we need to run a three tonne load down the strip
at 80ks an hour with discomfort before it's safe.
Leonie, Graham, you copy?
Gray, how's it looking?
Tell Mira the strip's good to go.
Copy that.
Broken Hill 3-4 to base. Conducted mop up.
How far away is 5-2?
Be about 10 minutes. Over.
How is she? Getting worse.
Could the vomit be from the carbon monoxide?
Possibly, but she should be improving with oxygen.
Graham said plane's five away. Oh, thank god.
Alright, let's get her to the plane and get her an airway.
Yep.
What's happening? She's seizing.
We need 10 of midaz now.
What-what's this from?
Could it be serotonin syndrome from the antidepressants?
I don't think so. It doesn't match the pattern.
Hey, what if the redness isn't from carbon monoxide poisoning?
What are you thinking?
Ryan, what's inside the shed?
Ah, um, couches, benches, some hay bales.
Poppy, is there anything else in there?
Ah, well, it used to be the old wool shed, so...
Wool? Yeah, from when we ran sheep.
There are wool bales in that shed?
Yeah, behind the door, but they're from a few years ago.
Why?
What is it?
I reckon it's hydrogen cyanide poisoning.
Cyanide?
Wool smoke's full of it.
What's the lactate?
Yeah, 8.7, there you go. It's way too high.
Alright, we need to get her clothes off and wash her now.
Poppy, please help.
Water. There's soap in there.
Do we have a cyanide kit? No, we don't carry them.
We do.
Alright, well, let's get it running. What size syringe?
The biggest one we have.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Plane's landing now.
Copy Graham.
How long does the antidote take?
Should see improvement in 15 minutes.
OK, let's get her packaged up and get moving.
We need to get her to the strip.
Any change?
Um, I'm just doing a blood gas now.
If you could...
What am I looking for?
It needs to come down below eight.
God, she's looking more red.
Is she getting worse?
No, no, that's the antidote.
It just makes her skin flushed, that's all.
Please Mum, please.
OK, lactate's down to 6.2.
Is that... Is that good?
Yeah, that's much better.
The antidote's working.
Thank you.
How's she going?
Her lactate's improved and she's breathing spontaneously
but she still needs an airway.
OK, we can intubate on board.
Um, who's the other patient?
Young mum with secondary postpartum haemorrhage.
Stable but she'll need bloods and surgery.
OK.
Are you two going to be alright to get her on board?
Yeah, of course. Yep.
I just need a drink.
Yeah, no worries.
How's it going?
Yeah, under control.
Is Anna OK?
I think so. Good.
Is Eliza still there?
Back at the strip with Pete.
Right.
Can you give her her keys back for me, mate?
Tell her I'll see her around.
(PHONE RINGS)
Lee? Anna's on the plane now. They're heading back to town.
Oh, thank god. Is everyone OK?
I think so.
Except maybe one ex pilot. He's been a bit of a dickhead.
I don't know. He has his moments.
I'm sorry. I just...
I don't know who I am if I'm not flying.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
You're Graham Morley. And we love you.
And besides I think I might be able to find something for you to do
with the new contract.
No? Yeah.
You got the tender? The whole thing.
You bloody ripper.
Did you really search Alex's station for the fentanyl?
Yeah.
Where the bike went down.
The ute, the tray, the track, the strip.
Couldn't find it anywhere, I'm sorry.
I know you don't beautiful me but I didn't take...
I do. Of course I do.
Really?
I know you wouldn't lie to me.
And I'm sorry that I did to you.
And also if you needed the fent,
why on earth would you settle for getting plastered
on cheap pinot gris?
Wait, were you the one that cleaned my house?
I knew that wasn't very me to drunkenly tidy.
(LAUGHS)
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I did lie to you.
I said I took Taylor's pills for the pain.
Really, I-I wasn't coping.
Who is?
(CHUCKLES)
Ha-ha.
You just remembered you got vomited on?
Eliza?
You OK?
I gave Anna mouth to mouth.
I think I'm contaminated.
Um, well, it's alright, it's alright.
Let's just um, let's just get you on the back of the tray.
Get some oxygen on you.
Don't you touch me.
You might also get contaminated.
Look, I don't give a shit.
Just put the prongs on for me, please.
Right, I've just got to radio the plane.
Pete, please just let them go.
I've already called an ambulance.
What?
Hey, you already knew that you had it?
Anna needs hospital and that young mum is critical
and she has a young baby.
Yeah, but you're critical. You need to go.
I might contaminate everybody.
And besides, they don't have enough monitors or oxygen.
Please just let them go.
Why are you choosing this moment to start making bad decisions?
Because you're right.
Sometimes triage isn't adequate.
No, we just need a cyanide kit.
You there, Gray?
Pete?
Is the backup fire crew there?
We need another cyanide kit to the strip right now.
Copy that. OK, it's OK.
Graham's coming.
OK, you're going to be alright.
I'm just, um, I'm just going to get a line in.
Hey, what are you smiling at?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
You. You called Henry.
What?
The trip to the reef.
That was your idea. Oh.
You know, it was beautiful.
I wish you'd been there.
Me too.
It's not as beautiful as this though.
Look at that.
God, I love it here.
I love you.
This isn't how I pictured this moment
with oxygen prongs on and in the back of a ute.
Hey, it's alright.
Maybe, um, we could say
it was in the back of a station wagon.
I don't know, do you reckon we should just take a break,
do a bit of teaching for a while?
Where would be the fun in that?
Hey, there you go. There they are.
Eliza, Graham's here. Stay with me.
Eliza, stay with me.
Alright, stay with me.
Stay here with me.
Stay with me.
