I, uh, stumbled upon some articles about your husband.

So, does everyone... No.

It's none of their business.

I got a place in an APLS course.

The exam starts in three weeks.

-So... -So the upskilling begins?

Hey, what did Nate say?

Ah!

Did you forget to call him?

Sorry.

[crashes loudly] Nate, can you hear me?

[gasps] She had a clear tension, so we decompressed, we inserted a chest drain.

She developed a hemothorax.

We attempted resuscitation five times, but it was unsuccessful.

-Have a ride on this!

-[pick-up honking] What are you doing?

I want to go home, but nobody will take me.

[breathing heavily] Yeah.

[muttering softly] -You having a photo?

-Yep, yeah.

Hey.

How are you?

Pete.

-Where's Taylor?

-Inside.

Um... How is she?

She's okay.

She just wants everything to be back to normal.

-Hey, mate.

-When did you start running?

Every now and then, I like to get my rig around the block.

You don't own any other shorts?

I won a premiership in these shorts.

I'm going to go stay at Kody's house tonight.

We've got homework and then we're going to head up to Wyama tomorrow.

Got a couple of fences that need straining.

Sure.

Actually, I've got the day off tomorrow.

May-- Maybe I'll see you back here, then.

Cool.

-Can you take it?

-Thanks.

So, APLS tomorrow.

What time are you leaving?

Three o'clock, straight to the airport for the four.

That's cutting it fine, isn't it?

I've been on the waitlist for six months.

There's no way I'm missing that flight.

That and he makes the plane wait for him.

See, I could never do anything that cool.

Leonie could.

Hey, Wayne, heading to Sydney tomorrow?

Yeah, be good to get it over with.

I remember doing my APLS when I was back at HEMS.

That acid-based balance section's a killer.

-If you need a hand-- -No, I'm good, thanks.

Uh, don't worry, he's always like this before an exam.

Ah.

Well, what happens if he fails?

[chuckles] He doesn't.

-[cell phone ringing] -[chuckles] Dr. Harrod.

How far did he fall?

So, it's close to town?

[Matty] Oh, it's faster to scoop and run to Adelaide, rather than road him back in.

[Eliza] Oh.

[Matty] Are you sure it's a broken femur?

[Eliza] It sounds like it, but... You're not rostered on.

Yeah, I-- I know.

[plane engine humming] How's Taylor?

Uh...

I...

I'm...

I've got no clue.

[chuckles humorlessly] [breathes deeply] What's happened?

A seven-year-old and his dad out at Jameson Gorge...

When the dad falls, -kid goes to get help.

-Go, kid.

Except he hasn't turned up yet, and he has epilepsy.

Doesn't have his medication on him.

How-- How long's he been missing?

Graham's free.

Do you want to take a plane up?

Fly a couple of lazy banks around the search area?

Yeah, I do.

-Matty.

This is Dr. Harrod.

-Hi.

-I'm Jo.

-Hi.

-So, is this your station?

-Yeah.

Come on.

They've been camping here all week.

I'll take you there.

[man 1] Ben!

[man 2] Ben!

That's where he fell from.

[Eliza] What was he doing?

Taking a photo.

[man] Ben!

Ben!

Hi, Nick.

-I'm Eliza.

This is Matty.

-Hey.

We're going to help you, okay?

Mmm, Matty, can you get up a liter of Hartmann's?

Yeah, copy that.

Have they-- Have they found Ben?

He has, um, tonic-clonic seizures.

-He doesn't have his medication.

-They're going to find him.

But right now we need to look after you first.

-[man] Ben!

-Now, can you remember, did you hit your head or pass out?

I don't remember him leaving.

So any medications or allergies?

I'm on OPDIVO, four weekly.

You're in remission?

Yeah, that's-- that's why we're out here.

I promised Ben we'd-- we'd go camping, -as soon as I got better.

-Oh, well, that's nice.

My son wouldn't come camping if I begged him.

We've got a BP up, 94/62, -heart rate's 122.

-[Eliza] Right.

Can you draw up morphine 1 in 1, and I'll titrate to effect.

[man] Ben!

-Right.

-[Nick winces] [man] Ben!

[Nick winces] [Nick groaning] [cries out in pain, groans] -[man] Ben!

-Okay.

[sighs] You're bleeding heavily into your leg, so we need to get you to Adelaide.

Yeah, but... Yeah, but...

But-- but that can wait, right?

-Until they find him?

-You need to be in hospital.

If we wait, you're going to have permanent muscle damage, or worse.

Is there anyone else we can call?

-What about Ben's mum?

-[whimpers] It's just me.

[Eliza] You won't be leaving him out here alone.

There's lots of people out here searching.

They won't give up until they find him.

[man] Ben!

[sobbing breath] It'll be okay.

[plane engine humming] -[Eliza] Okay, steady.

-[Nick wincing] Steady, steady.

It's getting dark.

Just... give it a minute.

Hey.

I think I've found something, just there.

Nah, it's a bonfire.

-What does that mean?

-Oh, they're calling it.

They light the fires so he can find his way back in the dark.

Geez, he's going to be freezing out there tonight.

Wanna go round again?

Yeah.

It's worth a try.

[engine revving] Sorry.

-[boy 1] Yeah.

-[boy 2] Yeah, brother.

[boy 1] Yeah, brother.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cheers.

[player] All right, come on, keep it up.

[indistinct conversation, laughter] I promise they don't get overnighted that much.

And what was it?

STEMI?

Subdural hematoma?

Fractured femur, actually.

-You know a bit about medicine.

-Yeah.

When both your parents are doctors, you pick up a few things over dinner.

[cell phone ringing] You should take that.

- [Henry] Mum?

-Did Leonie find you?

Driving me home.

You're in Adelaide?

I'm so sorry.

How was training?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was good.

Um...

I wanted to be home to talk to you about this in person, but... your dad rang this morning.

The hospital inquiry findings come out tomorrow.

He'll be in the news again.

Do we have to talk about this now?

No.

Um, why don't you call me when you get home -or before bed?

-Bye, Mum.

How is she?

Yeah, she's okay.

You know about my dad, don't you?

Oh, I read about it online.

It happened a long time ago.

He's not a bad person.

The longer you live, the more you realize that... people are rarely good or bad.

We're all just trying to do the best we can.

It's hard to get it right.

[indistinct conversations] -Anything new?

-Oh, nothing yet.

Apparently, it's going to get down to three overnight.

[exhales sharply] Reckon I could steal a little bit of Eliza's nasi goreng?

-I'm going to say no.

-I was going to ask her.

It's still weird, dude.

You don't know her that well.

-It was this or pajamas.

-You packed pajamas?

-Is that not a thing?

-We pack for weight, remember.

[sighs deeply] -Nasi goreng looks good.

-Mm-hmm.

You made the right choice.

So, how's Henry?

I think it'll be easier when he's made a couple of friends.

Must be tough moving schools at that age.

-It is.

-So why did you move here, then?

[hesitantly] I mean, you're obviously very well qualified.

Even Wayne's intimidated by you.

He's not.

Yeah, you should have seen his face when he didn't get that SM-- I actually don't know what I'm talking about.

Okay, the night you got it, he may have applied for every A&E job going.

Oh.

Well, it's...

It's no secret why I'm here.

Or you can google it if you like.

Oh, oh, I'm kidding.

I'll-- I'll tell you.

[chuckles] Um... my husband had an affair.

Not recently, it was years ago.

#*#*#*#*, I'm sorry.

-Don't be.

Um... [chuckles softly] Henry was little, and I had just started at HEMS.

Um...

He was sleeping with his junior registrar, which is a bit of a cliche, really.

Um...

I had no idea until a couple of months ago when...

I got to read about it online, along with the rest of the world.

She'd come forward during a review.

The hospital has always had complaints about... sexism and sexual harassment.

Finally, they were doing something about it.

And... she kept the text messages.

It was more than just a fling.

He ended it, and she left the hospital.

I mean, it's nothing new, not in medicine.

I just never thought my husband would be that man.

Wow.

Do you reckon I could try some of that nasi goreng?

-Is that... -[all chuckling] [Mira] Oh, my... Did I read the room on that?

Did... -[women laughing] -[Mira] Oh, God.

[dog whimpers] See you tonight, eh.

[inhales deeply] [muttering softly] [clicks tongue] Taylor!

[indistinct chatter] -Hey, Peter.

-Tiana, how are you?

Good.

[horse whinnies] -Brett.

-Hey, Pete.

Bit early, mate.

Mark?

Pete, what are you doing here?

I've got the day off.

Thought I'd come and lend a hand.

Yeah.

How's it going?

Heard you found some tracks last night?

We followed them up north there for a couple hundred meters, then they disappeared.

Yeah, right, so what's up that way?

It's rough country.

Mine shafts, gullies.

I'm taking the first mob out now.

-You wanna join us?

-Absolutely mate, yeah.

[helicopter blades whirring] [phone chimes] [sighs] [line ringing] Hi, this is Pete Emerson.

If I'm out of range, try me on the sat.

Ben!

-Ben!

-[cell phone ringing] Ben!

Sorry, Mark, I better take this.

Eliza!

Sorry to call out of the blue, uh, I just wanted to ask... What is it?

[sighs hesitantly] It's about what happened... with us.

About what?

Right-- Right now?

If you've got time.

-[phone beeping] -Oh, just that...

I don't have a whole heap of battery is all.

-Can we do this later?

-Oh, yeah, uh, it's fine.

I'll, uh... -I'll call you later.

-All right, thanks.

[sighs] Oh.

-Sorry about that, mate.

-It's all right.

[man] Ben!

[Mark] We've been meaning to drop around.

[Pete] Oh, yeah, no worries.

Ben!

You know I saw him a couple of days before.

Carla wanted to talk to Rhiannon, something about the school fete.

Nate and I had a beer.

What did he, um... What did you talk about?

Usual.

-Feed, rain, or the lack of it.

-[both chuckle] Yeah.

He seemed pretty good to me.

[man] Ben!

[Mark] Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

[Mark talking indistinctly] [man] Ben!

Ben!

[Pete] Oi, Mark?

How long 'til we head back out there?

Give it another 20, wait 'til they all rest and have had something to eat.

Well, what if I went ahead?

Get a jump on that next section?

-I don't know.

-I've got the sat phone, if anything happens.

-Oi!

Don't get lost.

-All right.

[Pete] Ben!

Ben!

[phone ringing] -Taylor?

-Hey, what are you doing right now?

I'm out looking for that kid.

I thought you were coming out to Wyama.

What?

No.

What happened to the girls?

They didn't come.

-Right.

Are-- Are you okay?

-Yep, all right.

I'll talk to you later.

It's, uh-- Are you there?

[phone beeping] Ah, #*#*#*#*.

[sighs wearily] [phone beeping] Oh, come on, you piece of #*#*#*#*.

[phone beeps] [classical music playing through headphones] [Leonie] Wayne, are you getting updates on the search party?

There's a robbie that's gone done at Nellie Nellie.

-Have you heard?

-What's that?

It's the search party.

A chopper's gone down.

Matty and Eliza have diverted.

They'll be on the strip in less than an hour.

[Wayne] Yeah, but it'll take them ages to get in there.

Crash site's almost inaccessible by road.

You know, if you go, you're going to miss your flight.

I can get there quicker.

[helicopter blades whirring] -Wazza.

-Mate.

Can't thank you enough, mate.

-I can't hang around, bud.

-No worries.

Let's go.

Oi!

Hi, I'm Wayne.

I'm a doctor with the RFDS.

What's your name?

Patrick.

Patrick, we're going to get you sorted, okay?

I got thrown.

Whereabouts on your body did you land, Patrick?

Legs.

[groans] Did you hit your head?

-Got any shade?

-Jared, get some shade.

How are you feeling?

I can't, can't breathe, breathe.

-You can't breathe?

-Can't breathe.

I think you've punctured your left lung.

I'm going to get a needle in, relieve the pressure, okay?

Here we go.

[air hissing] -[Wayne] Better?

-Heaps.

-Where's your radio?

-[man] In the ute.

All right, come round here, mate.

Just stay with him.

Hold that very gently.

If he has a hard time breathing, I want you to yell, okay?

[over radio] RFDS aircraft, Mike Quebec Delta, do you copy?

This is Mike Quebec Delta, go ahead.

Hi, it's Wayne.

How're you travelling?

Wheel's down in 15.

-Is Eliza there?

-I'm here.

How's the patient?

Was thrown from a robbie when it crashed.

He's got a tension pneumo, among other things.

We'll have to get a chest drain in.

[exhales slowly] Do you want to get him out first?

[Wayne] It's not ideal, but we'll have to do it out here.

Doc!

And I know you're moving fast, but as fast as you can, please.

That's the same as Rhiannon's.

How're you doing?

-[wheezes] It's harder.

-I'll get another one in.

Mike Quebec Delta, this is Mira.

[air hisses] Better?

-[grunting softly] No.

-Let's try this.

We've just landed at the airstrip.

Leaving as soon as possible.

Yeah?

Any word on that plane?

Just landed.

Leaving the airstrip now.

-What do we do now, Doc?

-Wait for the cavalry.

[Pete] Ben!

Ben!

Hello?

Ben?

[boy coughs] Ben!

Hey, mate.

G'day, mate.

My name's Pete.

I'm here to help you.

You're Ben, aren't you?

You all right?

Let's get you warm.

Have you had any seizures, mate?

Good boy.

You know what the good news is?

We found your dad.

He's going to be okay.

You're going to be okay too.

Can you have a little drink for me?

Nice and slow.

That's it.

Good boy.

[coughs] It's all right.

[Ben coughs] No hurry.

Let's just have a camp here for a second.

You all right?

Never been happier to see you lot.

Patrick's 38.

He fell 3 meters, landing on his feet.

The main issue is a right tension pneumothorax.

A 14-gauge IV provided some temporary relief, but he needs a chest tube.

He has pain in both feet and mid-thoracic pain, but I haven't had a chance to assess him properly.

He's your patient.

Okay, Matty, let's get him moved.

[Pete] All right, might sting a little bit.

Good boy.

You're tough, aren't you?

I'm going to tell your dad when we see him.

How are you feeling now?

Well, what do you reckon we try some of your medicine?

Here we go.

Right, and nice and slow.

Good boy.

-[coughs] -That's all right.

I don't feel good.

You know what?

I think we might have to walk out of here.

How do you feel about me carrying you?

Or do you want to carry me?

Mate, you sure?

'Cause I think you probably could.

All right.

[Wayne] All right, on my count.

One, two.

Matty, let's go 25 of IV fentanyl.

Do you want me to give him local anesthetic so you can set up?

That'd be great, thanks.

Patrick, we're giving you something for the pain, but it won't numb the lining of your lung, okay.

You'll still feel some pushing and prodding.

Guys, don't touch anything, even if it looks like it's going to blow away, all right?

Anything I'm not seeing?

Looks pretty text book to me.

[Patrick] It's getting harder... All right, I've got to get in.

All right, you ready, Patrick?

[Patrick groaning weakly] Clamp?

[Eliza] You got the pleura?

-[Wayne] Puncturing it now.

-[squishes] Yeah, I know it hurts, mate, I know it hurts.

[Eliza] This won't take long.

Right, tube?

[air hissing] There we go.

-Want me to close?

-That'd be great, thanks.

[Matty chuckles] -How we going for time?

-Don't know.

Don't they wait for you?

Hey, what are you doing right now?

[Pete breathing heavily] You all right, mate?

[Mark] Ben!

Mark!

Oi!

I think he's found him!

[grunts] [Mark] Oh, hey.

What happened to the sat phone?

I'm stuffed.

Can I get a ute, mate?

-They've found him.

-[man] Copy that.

Stay there.

We're sending someone to get you now.

Shame your exam wasn't in Adelaide.

We could have dropped you off.

-Funny.

-[Matty chuckles] How you feeling?

You okay?

We're nearly there, mate.

[woman sobbing faintly] [Henry] Go back, go back, that's definitely a clue.

[Tommy] I didn't see anything.

-Tommy, did you get it?

-What?

No, where?

Where?

- [laughing] Where?

-No, no, no, go back, go back.

-[chuckles] Tommy, go back.

-Okay, okay, all right.

-[cell phone ringing] -Okay, so, I'm heading back, I'm heading back.

Did you say it was around here somewhere?

Uh, hold on.

Henry, you there?

-Mum, where are you?

-Heading to Adelaide.

Again?

[sighs wearily] It's been one of those days.

With any luck, we should be home 9.30, 10.00.

Oh, yeah, cool.

I was wondering, maybe Leonie could stop by and have dinner with you?

Mum-- You can't be alone two nights in a row.

I'm not alone.

-You're not?

-No.

I've-- I've really got to go.

[phone beeps] I think Henry's got a friend.

-[Wayne clicking pen] -Yes!

Tommy, you there?

Tommy?

[tapping key impatiently] Tommy, you there?

It's been a while since I've been up here.

I like it.

You can see the whole town.

Wonder what everyone's doing with their lives.

Well, what are they doing?

Mmm... -This family... -Mmm.

...they're staying up late to play a board game.

Or this old couple over here, they're sitting down to the same meal they've had every Saturday for the past 50 years.

[both chuckle] This house, she's just sprung him cheating on her.

Well, she's yelling, "Go, get out!"

And he's screaming, "No, I still love you!

Please."

[chuckles] You're sick.

I like the happy stories.

Yeah, well, happy stories are boring.

How are you?

Everyone keeps asking me that.

[scoffs] I was out at Wyama today.

I kept thinking about how... if I get lost... nobody is going to come find me.

Hey, it's okay.

There's so many people that would come looking for you.

I'll come looking for you.

I will.

-I'm sorry.

-Uh, no, no, I am.

Taylor?

-You're upset.

-Don't.

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't be like everyone else.

-I don't feel sorry for you.

-Bull#*#*#*#*.

[phone ringing] -Hey, sorry about before.

-It's fine.

Is now a better time?

Yeah, heaps.

What's up?

[men conversing] [quietly] Well, I, uh...

I wanted to ask you if, if I'd crossed a line with you?

What line?

Well, I'm your boss and we had sex.

We did.

Is this something we should tell Leonie about?

Why would we do that?

Well, someone might report it and feel... that-- Honestly, I don't think anyone would be that interested.

Pete... Eliza?

-Eliza, are you there?

-I'll call you back.

-What, again?

-I'll call you back.

Henry.

Henry.

You're a hypocrite.

It wasn't like that.

Pete?

You've done exactly the same thing as Dad.

Henry, please wait!

Are you and Dad over?

Things with your Dad and I are complicated.

-You know that.

-But, is it over?

I don't-- I don't know.

You're a liar.

[dogs barking] What are you doing?

You will bloody freeze out here.

The stars are out.

Yeah.

Come on, come in.

[sighs] What do you think happens when we die?

Um...

I-- I don't know.

You don't believe in God?

I don't believe in nothing.

I don't know what I believe in.

Hey, I've... been thinking, why don't we go out and stay at Wyama for a bit?

-You'll come with me?

-Yeah, if you want.

-Mmm.

-[chuckles] Everyone keeps saying I'll be able to feel them, but...

I can't feel anything.

I can feel your mum.

Every time I look at you... she's right here.
