RFDS (2021) s03e02 Episode Script

Alright, take it easy.
I can't take it easy!
Shit, shit, shit.
(SCREAMS)
- What's your name?
- Joe.
Are you sure you're OK?
Are you right to go call for help?
When did you talk to him last?
Not since he left.
- Who's this?
- It's Pete.
Pete Pete?
Hey.
Hey.
Joe! Joe?
My leg's stuck.
Owen, I'm not gonna lie to you, mate.
It's gonna hurt like hell
but it's gonna get you breathing again.
(SCREAMS)
I'm Anna.
My kids were on the bus.
Their names are Poppy and Joe.
Mum, where's Joey? Is he with you?
Joey?
- Joe.
- Joe.
Come on, darling, open your eyes.
The only way to free you
is to remove your lower leg.
Tay, Tay.
Oh, my God, what happened?
Taylor, you're going to need surgery.
- What about the baby?
- What?
So, someone's gonna have to stay behind.
Poppy, Taylor and the driver will go.
I just, I I I think
it's the wrong call.
No, no, you can't just leave him here.
Hey, back-up's here, OK?
Time of death, 9:36pm.
(THEME MUSIC)
Police have released
Kingsley bus driver Owen Tidwell on bail
after he was charged with causing death
by dangerous driving.
Outside court today, Anna
Galanis, the mother of two victims,
including Joe Galanis
who died at the scene,
criticised the medical response.
My son was left to die
because they saved
the driver responsible
for this crash instead.
So, did you get your results?
Yep.
Turns out I'm one kidney
lighter and one human heavier.
And did the nephrologist say
how the function is with your
It's fine.
Spoken to Cameron yet?
Would you at least
let me get on the plane
before you start with
the interrogation, Pete?
Mm.
Tay Tay! Welcome back.
Hey, Nigel.
And this must be Peter
Pan, returning to Neverland?
Yeah.
- Oh, uh, Nigel.
- Nigel.
Or Nige or Dicky.
That's a bit of an in joke.
You know you don't have
to move home for me?
I'm not moving back.
Just helping out on backfill for a bit.
Mm.
This means everyone's forgiven you?
Oh, not likely.
Oh.
What, what's that?
Well, everyone was just a bit
miffed that you never came back.
That's putting it pretty lightly.
No-one ever said anything to me.
Yeah, well, you actually have to speak
to people to hear them say something.
Cool beans. We ready to roll?
Yeah. Cabin prepped for take-off.
How are those cobwebs?
Like a haunted house.
Oh, you're gonna crush it.
Crush, I said crush.
How you feeling about Pete?
Just like working with
any other FIFO nurse.
Mm.
Good luck.
- You're not gonna need it.
- Mm.
You've got this.
Alright, who's ready to
get back in the virtual sky?
Let's do this.
OK, so I've reviewed the
aircraft, weather and flight plan.
Fuel and oil sufficient.
Radio working.
OK.
Traffic Broken Hill FD281
rolling runway 23 Broken Hill.
OK, kill it.
What? Why?
Missed anything?
Um
Oh, auto feather.
Bugger.
It's been a year.
It takes time.
No, it takes not making dumb mistakes.
It's just
When I came back after my knee surgery,
I failed the sim three times alright?
Go easy on yourself.
Sorry to interrupt. She's here!
(JOYFUL MUSIC)
This new base is like a rabbit warren.
- Where-where are we?
- Just through there.
Ready?
Welcome home!
This sign. I'm gonna cry.
Oh, how you feeling?
Hi. Hey, how are you, Miz?
- Be careful.
- Hey, be careful.
I'm coming this way. Welcome back.
- It's great to see you.
- Thank you.
Good to see you too. Hey, Graham.
What, we get the prodigal
son thrown in for free, do we?
Oh, look out. What is it?
Senior Flight Nurse Matty Harris?
Yeah, that's Matthew
to you, mate, thank you.
Welcome home.
- Welcome back.
- Oh, hello.
Welcome to both of you.
- I'm so glad that you're back safe.
- Me too.
OK, we've got three eps to catch up on.
I have every flavour
of ice cream and tea
I could find in Broken Hill.
Please, please don't
tell me who got voted off.
We can't, because we don't know,
because we've been waiting for you.
Oh, guys.
We're actually dying.
This is lovely hey?
Ah, I don't really know
what's happening but yeah.
Matty, Nige, you ready
for Osborne Downs?
- Aye, aye, Captain.
- Yep.
So, then I, I'm with
Pete, how's that wrist?
Ah, yeah, fine. It's just a sprain.
Well, better be 'cause we've
got a bariatric at Curville.
Abdo pain and fever. Grab
the antis. Wheels up in ten.
- Tay?
- Yeah?
Welcome home, mate.
Thanks.
Hope you remember all the
safety features of the cabin.
Yeah.
Patient's Andrea Purvis,
approximately 115kg.
She phoned with vomiting and
sharp pain under the ribs.
Yeah, Andy, I know her.
She was feeling really
good last time I saw her.
A year ago?
She had gastric bypass last month.
Need to check for post-op complications,
stitches, gall bladder, leaking.
Has no-one checked on her?
Don't know if you've heard,
mate, been a little short staffed.
Got to move quickly.
Just been alerted to a big
cold front coming through.
Yeah, I know, I think
I'm feeling it already.
You want Italian or Thai tonight?
How much longer are we
gonna keep doing this?
Thai then?
You still don't want to be seen with me.
I told you I just want to keep
things professional at work.
They know, Lee.
What?
They know.
Everyone knows.
- No they don't.
- Of course they do.
This is Broken Hill.
They knew before we did.
Question is do you not want
to be seen with me at work,
or not seen with me at all?
Graham
Look, I've got a tasking.
I'll see you later.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(PLANE WHOOSHES)
Ahh.
Tender under there, Andy?
Yeah, under the ribs. It's like a knife.
Here you go.
Whack this under your
head, Andy. There you go.
When did you get back?
First day actually.
I missed you too much.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, you had gastric bypass
surgery about a month or so ago?
Yeah.
Did you call your specialist?
Oh, yeah, but he said it
was normal post-op stuff.
Was a telehealth appointment.
Just open your mouth for me, Andy.
OK, BP's 140 on 90, resp rates
are increasing and she's tachy.
Yeah, pulse is thready.
Have you been to the
bathroom at all today?
Uh-uh.
I think you might be dehydrated.
So, let's get you up on a
stretcher, get some fluids in OK?
Yeah, I can get up.
Just give us a hand. Oh!
Hey, hey, don't-don't hurt yourself, OK.
- We can help.
- Ah.
Grab the hover-jack.
Ah, scoop wouldn't be quicker?
Yeah, we've got three
good wrists, don't we?
Grab the hover-jack.
OK.
What'd you do?
No, I'm just faking it for sympathy.
Oh.
We're going to slide a mat underneath
you that inflates nice
and gently, Andy, OK?
Ah-ha.
So, when you vomited, was that
after a larger meal at all?
Just what they recommended,
a few teaspoons.
OK.
I know the crash is all over the news,
so you can call me anytime you need, OK?
But I don't want to hear
anymore about this crypto crap.
- Alright, will do.
- I don't need to hear that.
- I'll see you next week.
- Bye.
Oh, hey.
Hi.
- It's Caleb.
- Yes, I I remember you.
Yeah, I didn't want to assume.
Oh, well um,
mass casualty incidents
tend to jog the memory.
Yeah.
Anyway hey, I just, I
wanted to give you this as a,
like a little thank you for the pop up
cafe you did after the funeral.
Oh, oh, well, you
didn't need to do that.
- Thank you.
- Oh, it's OK.
It's for everything you've
done for the town really, so
Whoa, do we need an intervention?
Ah, Tay, you remember Caleb?
He gave us this as a thank you.
Oh, of course.
- Yeah, hey.
- Hey.
How are you feeling?
Um, pretty sore actually,
but grateful, you know.
Um, I'm gonna go.
OK, I feel, I feel really exhausted
so I think I'm just gonna
It's nice to see you again, Caleb.
Yeah, you too.
Chaya, do you have those
costings for the tender?
Crap, sorry, I just, I got distracted.
I know it's a crazy time,
but if this contract
isn't as tight as possible
and we lose the contract,
none of us will have jobs
to get distracted by, OK?
Totally.
Does anyone think that
Graham and I are dating?
Um
No, I don't think
Yeah.
Kind of Every,
well, kind of everyone.
I didn't.
Who are you?
Alright, we'll go on roll.
OK, ready, brace and roll.
There we go.
- You right there?
- Yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
No, no, no, it's not your fault.
It's mine for breaking my damn wrist.
You said it was sprained?
OK, Andy, I'm just gonna clip you in.
OK, so yeah, lunch was
no bigger than normal?
Breakfast. No.
And nothing more than soft foods?
I ate exactly what they told me, OK?
I did liquid, then puree, soft food.
I've done exactly what they said.
- OK, we-we believe you.
- No you don't.
Neither does my gastro or
the nurses at the clinic.
They all just reckon I've had a burger.
I'm exhausted.
I've done exactly what they said
and I'm vomiting foam and
none of yous believe me.
Andy, we're sorry.
OK, we didn't mean to
make you feel like that.
And we're gonna find
out what it is, alright?
You said you vomited foam?
Yeah, it's all that comes out.
OK, let's get you up on the stretcher.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Kate?
- Yeah.
How is he?
He's really groggy and confused
since he came off the horse.
You're Dr Harrod, aren't you?
Yeah, Eliza.
Right.
Guys, there's some bad
weather heading our way.
If you want to stay and play,
then we're staying the night.
Heading to you now, see you in five.
Sorry, Andy, I know
this is uncomfortable.
These T waves and voltages seem off.
Potassium might be low.
Yeah, calcium's through the floor too.
Ah, Wayne?
What is it?
I think you've got some kind
of gastric outlet obstruction
which is causing what's
called Metabolic Alkalosis,
which is a lack of acid in your system.
Is it from the surgery?
Probably.
It might have healed over too much,
so we do need to get you on the plane
into hospital for a proper look, OK?
But hey, it's alright, mate.
They can fix it. No it's not that.
It's just, I don't know, just relieved.
I thought I was going crazy.
No, not crazy at all.
Well, the plane better bloody fit me.
Mate, it fits Pete's head.
- Look at that thing.
- Yeah, and Wayne's ego.
It'll fit you.
I know I'm obese.
You don't need to pretend anything else.
No, no, no, you're suffering obesity.
I know as well as anyone
how hard you've tried, Andy.
For the last year, you haven't.
Yeah, sorry I wasn't here.
Yeah, well, why'd you piss off?
Million dollar question there.
Boys, must move.
That front's approaching by the second.
Copy, on our way.
Front's here in 25.
Have to be wheels up in 20.
Secure Andy. I'll sit
rep the surgical team.
Oh, wait, my make-up.
Forgot to finish it.
Do you need it, Andy?
Ah, no, but I just hate
not looking presentable.
I just want to look
like I care about myself.
It's dumb, don't worry about it. Ahh!
You need surgery as
soon as possible, OK.
We need to we need to move, OK?
Hey, Gray, you said
wheels up in 20, yeah?
- More like 15.
- Yeah, why, mate?
'Cause the ambo's still here.
- Her house is five minutes away.
- Pete, Pete.
- I'll be right back.
- Pete!
Bloody hell.
Slight shaking in his left hand.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
And some Nystagmus.
What? What does that mean?
It's a slight flicking of the eyes.
How's his general health, Kate?
Yeah, good. He's active. He eats well.
Any drugs, alcohol? Is he a smoker?
Ah, no.
He's even lost 20kg
since he stopped drinking.
And when was that?
Couple of years ago.
Pulse 48.
Extremities are cool.
He might be in shock.
Alright, well, let's cycle BP again
and check it's not a Cushing response
and let's grab an ECG.
I'll check lytes and sugar.
Jenny, I don't need hospital.
No, no, no.
Dad
Jenny's my mum's name.
Is this from the head injury?
It could be.
I'm just gonna check
your heart and lungs.
Did you actually see him
fall off the horse, Kate?
You think I'm lying?
No, no, I
I found him on the ground next to it.
It just seemed pretty clear to me.
Ah Kate, would you mind grabbing
your dad some-some water?
It's getting warm out here.
Did you forget her
birthday or something?
Whatever I did, she didn't like it.
She's about to like me a whole lot less.
You don't think it's
a head injury, do you?
Shakes, confusion, Nystagmus.
Sounds like Wernicke's
Encephalopathy to me.
Thiamine deficiency?
And with veins like those,
I'd say due to quite severe alcoholism.
So, not sober then?
He's got two minutes
before I personally go find
him and kick his bloody arse.
And with a minute to spare.
Ahh.
Here we go.
- Thank you.
- That's alright.
Righteo, must leave now.
Alright, Andy, here we go, finally.
So, are we going to hospital now?
Nah, no, I don't want to go in.
Dad, you're confused.
You've hit your head.
You have to go.
Actually, I think what your
father is suffering from
is a Thiamine deficiency.
So, we've given him a shot now
and then all he has to do is
go into town for a second dose
and some follow up tests.
So, you're gonna leave him here too?
What?
We know Anna's family.
We know what happened on
that bus crash, alright.
Oh, oh, oh!
- Dad!
- Oh, oh.
Dad?
Brian?
Matty?
It's alright, it's alright.
Centre Flydoc 289.
Leaving flight level 200
on descent to Broken Hill.
Told you.
Plenty of time.
Yeah, I'll call Leonie,
shall I and have a ticker-tape
parade waiting for you.
Alright, can you just say
whatever it is you need to say?
I said, "Pete," as in Pete,
don't go be a hero and get
us stranded for some lipstick.
Yeah, but it's, it's
not just lipstick, is it?
It's her peace of mind.
It's to remind us and the surgeon and,
you know, whoever else might
be making judgements about her
when she's sedated that
she cares about herself
and so we should too.
Mate, you're gonna lecture me
on unconscious bias now are you?
Oh, geez, this whole pissy
routine's getting very, very tedious.
Pissy?
Yeah, yeah, first you're sulking
'cause I didn't come back,
now you're angry 'cause I did?
One year later with a gammy
wrist and zero explanation.
Yeah, well, come on then.
What-what do you want to know, mate?
How about why you
buggered off to Adelaide
when you knew we were
all under the pump?
Mate, you knew we were drowning out here
and you still pissed off anyway,
without so much as a, "Catch ya later."
Oi! Can you two stop bickering like
No, no, we're-we're good,
Andy. Just a bit of turbulence.
Graham? We're banking.
Gray?
- Graham, Graham.
- Just get this on for me, OK?
Where's Pete? What's happening?
No, he's fine, he's fine.
Graham. You're alright, mate.
Do you know where you are?
Gray?
Do you know what year it is?
(MUMBLES)
Mate, when was your last
incapacitated pilot training?
Ah, medical transport course
a couple of months ago.
How many's a couple?
Six, maybe.
Christ! OK.
Autopilot is on.
Pulse and breathing is steady but
nah, he's definitely concussed.
See you again tomorrow.
You'll get there. Just takes time.
Yep.
Hey, Lee, you know we're all waiting
to just be really, really
happy for you and Graham, right?
How is it for you, you know, the
whole work relationship thing?
Look, it can be tricky at times,
but I guess that's how you
know it's really worth it.
Ah VJC this is Mike Quebec um
What are we in? Kilo, do you read?
Kilo, VJC, is that you Pete?
Yeah, yeah. Slight problem here.
What? Where's Graham?
Ah, well, that would be the problem.
He's been concussed in turbulence.
- Is he OK?
- Um, yeah, no.
He's too out of it to fly.
Ah, autopilot's switched on,
I'm at the yoke and I'd love
to get a bit of help please.
You're the designated MTS pilot.
Yeah, before mat leave.
Well, the only other one's Graham.
Shit, OK. Um, Pete, are you there?
It's Mira.
Autopilot's definitely on, yeah?
- Ah, yes.
- OK, good.
I'm, I'm gonna jump into the sim
and I'll call you
straight back, alright?
How hard is a King Air
to talk someone down
in compared to other planes?
Ah, yeah, no worse than anything else.
What's wrong with the
pilot? Why is Pete up there?
He's just checking him OK, Andy.
What does he need to check on?
Look, it's nothing we haven't
practised for 1,000 times, OK?
Here we go.
- Hey, Pete, you there?
- Yep.
OK, so the first thing we
need is the fuel quantity.
Can you read the round dials
on Graham's side please?
Ah yes.
There's 300.
300 in both tanks.
OK, great.
We've got plenty of time.
We'll get you down well before that,
OK, so just, just um, try and stay calm.
Yeah, right.
How long does 300lb give us?
About an hour.
Hey, we just heard over
the radio. What can we do?
Fire and rescue and
ambos are on their way.
- Can you
- Yeah, I'll get them set up.
Stay there.
BP's still low. Bloods
don't seem to be helping.
Let's sit him up. Let's-let's turn him.
You guys have to help him.
Oh, God, do something.
BP's dropping.
We need to control the
source of the haemorrhage.
Get the Blakemore tube while
I remove the nasogastric.
What-what are you doing now?
Why are you taking that out?
Your father is bleeding from his gut,
so we're gonna insert that
balloon down his oesophagus
and inflate it to help
stop the blood flow.
Let's sit him up to 45.
Up.
OK, can you swallow for me, Brian?
Just swallow.
It's alright.
You're doing well.
That's it.
OK.
Inflate to 50 mil.
I'll confirm.
I can see the balloon in the stomach.
Let's inflate in 50 mil
increments to 250 mil.
I don't understand how
you missed all of this.
All of this occurred
to severe alcoholism
over a period of at
least six months, Kate,
so I'm not the one who missed anything.
I'm trying to save your father's life.
Please let me.
Balloon's up.
We still need an airway.
Let's intubate him before the
flight and get moving please.
OK, and on that screen
there's a compass,
like a little blue marker.
Do you see it?
Yep, yep, OK.
OK great, we're gonna
adjust your flight path now.
OK, so between the windscreens
can you see a little knob labelled HDG?
Ah, yep.
Great, that's heading.
When we push that button,
the blue numbers on
the compass will change.
So, I need you to dial
it right to 300, 3-0-0.
OK, 3-0-0 confirmed.
OK, well done.
I'm gonna set a timer.
There's nothing to do
for ten minutes, OK?
I just need to chat
to Air Traffic Control.
Can you flag your position by pressing
the button at your
right thumb on the yoke?
- Yep, done.
- Great.
Now, ATC will know where you are.
OK, I'll be back with you soon.
Ah! What's that?
Miz? Miz?
Centre, can you identify the
exact position of Mike Quebec Kilo?
- Mira?
- What's happening?
Mate, I-I don't I don't know.
We're not picking them up manually.
But I asked them to squawk ident.
They should be approximately 95mi
on the 2-1-0 radial Broken Hill.
VJC, this is Kilo. We need Mira back.
We're alarming and banking here.
Mira, Pete's on radio.
Oh, OK.
Pete, Pete, what's happening?
There's alarms and
we've started banking.
But-but, heading-heading
was just north, right?
Yes.
What have I done?
Pete, press autopilot again.
- Yeah, I've already done that.
- No, no, press it again.
Sorry, sorry, you're sitting
in the right hand seat.
I'm picturing the left.
The button that I told you to press
is actually on the opposite side.
You've pressed the autopilot disconnect.
I need you to press the
ATC identification button
which is at your left thumb.
- Are you sure?
- I'm 100% sure.
The left side.
OK.
OK, great.
Now, they know where you
are and you're heading to us.
OK, I'm-I'm so sorry.
Are you OK?
Ah, I think so. Yep.
And, Wayne, how are you?
Yeah, yeah, we're just hanging in there.
OK.
Um, alright, I'm gonna set a timer.
Just-just hang, hang tight for ten.
No, no, no, no.
No, you're not leaving me again.
No, no, no, I'm not,
I'm not. We'll, we'll
We're here, we're here.
Yep, we'll be on the radio, OK.
I'm just gonna go to the bathroom, OK.
I've got the timer.
Mum made me promise to take care of him.
Before she died, she told me
to make sure he didn't relapse.
I had no idea.
Or-or maybe I did and I just
I didn't want to admit it.
Oh, God
he could have died
if he was still out there, couldn't he?
Hey
he's going to feel a
lot better in hospital.
Thank you.
Hey, are you OK?
Ah yeah, yeah.
Um, don't worry, I've-I've set a timer.
So, it's all good.
Hey, I know that Wayne
is on board and I cannot,
I cannot imagine how
hard this is, Miz, but
you, you have got this, OK?
Can you slap me?
What?
I just I just need you to slap me.
No, I'm not gonna slap you.
No, Chaya, please, I
need you to slap me.
I need you to slap me. Just slap me!
Thank you.
Mate, I'm
I should have told you.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Hey?
Why I stayed in Adelaide
after the re-training.
You really want to do this now?
Well, we might be hard pressed
finding future opportunities, you know.
Just land this plane,
we'll call it even, OK?
- You right?
- Yep, fine.
- What's happening?
- Graham was concussed.
Mira's talking them down.
So, who's flying the plane?
Pete.
Oh, my God.
It's alright. He's got this.
Yeah, I mean Pete's done
all the training, right?
Did you get your wings back, Mira?
Ah, nope.
Do you want me to take over?
King Airs are the most
complicated to land.
Even jets are simpler.
- I thought you
- It's fine. It's it's OK.
Are you sure you don't need me to
Actually what I need is
for you to stop mansplaining
my aircraft to me and
start being useful, OK?
Now, what was your wind
speed when you landed please?
18. One eight knots.
18, is that too much?
It is for, you know, someone
who's never landed a plane.
I approached runway 1-4 from
back over town, much smoother.
Can they do that?
It's riskier and it takes longer.
How much tail wind have we
got if we take runway 2-3?
Seven to eight knots.
Wait, what are the options?
Ah, a quicker, simpler landing
where crosswinds are a problem.
Or a more complicated
landing where they're not.
So, what do we do?
(TIMER BEEPS)
Position emergency services
mid-way at the airport.
We'll take runway 2-3 head on.
What about the wind?
I don't know.
Pray that Mother
Nature holds her breath.
OK, Pete, are you there?
Unfortunately yes, yep.
OK, so ATC have cleared the airspace
which means we gonna get
ready for landing, OK?
Oh, bloody hell.
Hey, listen to me.
You've trained for this, OK?
We're just gonna do
everything you've practised.
Now, the first thing I need you
to do is disengage the autopilot.
OK, at least I know where that is.
Yep.
OK, great, you're now
controlling the plane.
Now, on the flight management
computer down to your left,
I need you to press the
approach departure button.
It's been programmed to
guide you to the runway
and bring you in.
Yep, what, automatically?
Not quite.
You still have to, um,
keep the snowflake in
the middle of the target.
Just like a video game.
Only video games don't
kill you if you lose.
How how how rough
are we talking here?
Look, I'm gonna honest,
it's not gonna be smooth.
Um, Miz
if uh, if this doesn't pan out
Nup, it's gonna pan, OK? It's panning.
Yes, yes, yeah, but if it doesn't,
can you just make sure with
Taylor that she knows
Nup, shut up, shut up, shut up.
We're not getting hysterical.
We're landing a plane.
Now just, just shut up and focus.
Yeah, roger that.
(SIREN WAILS)
Broken Hill 3-4 to base.
Moving emergency vehicles
into position now.
Is that really Pete up there?
Apparently.
Geez, quite the crap magnet, isn't he?
OK, now um, the propeller
levers in the middle console.
OK, I need you to push
them full forward to fine.
OK.
Prop levers full forward, yep.
Yep, OK.
And the big levers on the left,
the biggest ones, the power levers,
I want you to bring
them back to 600, 6-0-0.
OK, 600, yep.
Great and on screen one,
what's-what's your airspeed?
- What's my what?
- Your airspeed.
Ah, 195?
OK, great, great.
We're gonna, we're gonna
activate the flap lever now.
OK, so middle console again,
under where it says fuel cut off levers,
I want you to move them down one step.
OK, and then tell me
when you see 1-8-0 on
the air speed indicator.
Yep, that's 1-8-0.
OK, great.
Now, we're gonna put the
landing gear down, OK?
Bloody hell, Miz.
OK, the one near Graham's right knee,
the white tyre looking thing,
I want you to pull that
towards you and down.
It should go red
and when the wheels are in
position, the button will turn green.
Yep, yep, light's green.
Shit.
OK, great, the wheels are in position
and you're ready to land.
Mate, you're a natural.
Don't-don't even don't, mate, don't.
Shit.
Pete? What is it?
That'll be those crosswinds I think.
Just keep it steady.
It's getting pretty dicey up here.
We're bouncing around a lot.
Yeah, just-just keep the
snowflake in the centre.
Yeah.
I just I just can't
keep it in the middle eh?
Relax your grip.
Alright, just try not
to over control it.
Remember the training.
Geez, Miz, I think we need to pull up.
Hey no, no, no. Pete, stay with it.
You have to do this now.
Yeah, righto.
When you hit 20ft,
lift the power lever handle
and pull back to stop.
What, what, what, what,
what? Lift the what up?
The power lever handle.
Up and back.
And then pull the fuel cut
off levers closest to you.
100. Fuel cut off back?
The fuel cut off levers,
you're gonna pull them back,
right back to stop.
- 20.
- Power lever, Pete.
Yep. Up then pull back, yep.
Pull the fuel cut off levers.
Yep.
Now, pull the yoke towards you,
and push both foot pedals.
Pete?
What, what happened?
They've landed. All clear.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You are the greatest.
Who needs wings, ay?
Are we alive?
I think so, yeah.
I think I've pissed myself.
Quite a first week back.
Here we go, Gray.
Chair behind you.
- Are you alright?
- Yeah, don't worry, he's um
Whoa, fine.
Can't get rid of me that easily.
I don't want to.
Looks like I missed out on quite a bit.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Where's Taylor? She
didn't she didn't
No, no, don't worry.
She went home to rest.
She missed all of it.
Coming for my job, hey?
You are not paying
for a drink ever again.
Good, 'cause I need
about 1,000 after that.
- Thank you.
- Well done, buddy.
Can I get one of those?
(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Here's to Top Gun!
Oh, come on. Maverick will do.
Oh, Goose at best.
I was talking about Miz, mate.
She did all the hard work.
You were just a puppet.
Yeah, I don't know if any
pilot's ever crashed a plane
before they get their wings back.
- Or landed one.
- Yeah.
Hey, how's Andrea?
Anastomosis strictures.
- She's in surgery now.
- What a trooper.
They'll let us know when she's out.
She said to say goodbye.
Hey, hey.
- Hey.
- Here he is, man of the hour.
- Thanks, mate.
I'm putting on a tab for all of you.
- Oh, legend.
- What a dreamboat.
It's the least I can do for
saving us all a lot of trauma
but more importantly,
a lot of paperwork.
Legend.
- Yep.
I'll second that. I'm
gonna give him a hand.
Matty, let me guess, Pinot
Gris and Chaya, whisky neat?
Ah, she's been sober five years
and what's Pinot Gris supposed to mean?
Don't worry.
Rose?
What?
More water?
No thanks. I'm good.
Of course I want to be with you.
You almost becoming an episode
of Air Crash Investigations
really brought that into focus.
I just worry that if we
made this public at work
could complicate things.
It won't matter for a while anyway.
Concussion means mandatory
time off then restricted flying.
It could take months to
get my full class A back.
Well, then let's get out of here.
Hey?
I haven't been on a trip in years.
We've both got long service leave.
What about your contract tender?
There's always a contract tender.
Pete's back. He and Matty can handle it.
What do you reckon?
I reckon yes.
(PHONE DINGS)
What is it?
I'm so sorry about that bottle of wine.
Oh, please, do you know how
bottles of thank you port
I've been able to re-gift?
It's like I never have to buy presents.
Yeah, I mean still though
being sober's got to be fun in a town
where every catch-up involves
at least several beers.
Thank you.
Yeah, well there are
other ways to stay social.
Thanks.
Is that right?
Mm, I mean, you know,
if you're creative.
Well, you know, I've always been told
I've got a bit of an artistic bent.
Oh.
So, the question is what are you into?
Macrame? Watercolours?
OK.
Well if we were to, um, paint together,
it would have to be purely casual.
So, you mean no strings
attached painting?
Well, just because colleagues,
you know, doesn't really mix well.
At least not for me.
Wait, are we not talking
about an art project?
No, we are. Art project.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
How are you feeling?
Ah, well, like I know what my
nightmares are gonna be like
for the rest of my life.
I was worried about you there.
I was worried about me there.
What? What?
This is so dumb,
but all I could think about
when I was up there was
that movie 'Airplane'.
Oh, my God, I love that film.
Yeah, when, when the pilot passes out
and they get old mate
up from the back to
Yeah, "Can you fly
this plane and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious?"
"I am serious."
"And don't call me Shirley."
Glad to see you laughing, mate.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
Have you ever seen 'Airplane',
the Leslie Nielsen film?
No, no.
It's stupid. It's um,
idiots landing planes.
OK, adrenaline has worn
down to pure exhaustion.
I'm gonna get her home. You stay.
No, no, no, I'm coming.
I'm not letting you two out of my sight.
Oh, you off?
- Yeah.
- Oh, thanks again.
You're a legend, you're a legend.
- Night guys.
- Have a good night.
- See you at work, mate.
- See ya.
- See yous.
- Hey, I might come with you.
You know it wasn't just the
work stuff, me being pissy.
Oh, yeah?
Kalthi, she's the best
but, you know, losing Timmy,
after he died you said you'd be there.
And you weren't, mate.
I had never thought of it like that
um, which doesn't make
me any less selfish,
I-I know but um, oh,
mate, I'm-I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
I mean I think I get it now.
But you might want to think
about saying something soon.
I think they're getting pretty serious.
- See you at work.
- Yeah, see ya.
(PHONE RINGS)
Oh.
I am out of hours.
Don't even think about it.
Ah, so just got word back
from pathology on Owen Tidwell.
The bus driver.
It's confidential 'til the trial
but his tox screens have come back
positive for amphetamines.
