Hard Rain

Having kids is a big step.
Hon, it's the most natural thing
in the world.
They said to behave as if I'm HIV
positive until they can rule it out.
I didn't sleep with her!
She bled all over me, Von.
Do you get it?
TERRI: When you get the all-clear
TERRI: When you get the all-clear
this will just seem like
a bad dream.
This will just seem like
a bad dream.
(agonised screams)
Ben, another cannula in this arm.
Okay.
I had to drag you out.
I hated the thought
of not being there to save her.
That's what we're here for -
to save people.
STEPH: Ben, you've got
to talk about it.
I've scraped people up with no face.
Picked up kids from under cars.
That didn't make me fall in a heap.
I just need peace and quiet.
So, the whole big Superman thing's
a bit of an act, hey?
I never said I was Superman.
RADIO ANNOUNCER: It's nice
to say goodbye to all that rain.
We're looking at blue skies today.
We're looking at blue skies today.
Heading for a high of 30 in the west
and 32 on the coast
Heading for a high of 30 in the west
and 32 on the coast
with wet weather back again
the day after tomorrow.
Oh, great!
There's a flood warning
for the Nepean River.
(turns off radio)
(clears throat) Morning.
(snappy) Yes?
When will you fix this door?
I was going to
Or are you more a voyeur
than a handyman?
No. My back's sore and
I'd hoped you'd give me a back rub.
Oh, sorry.
In a hurry.
DOOR SLAMS
See ya.
If I can see it, why can't she?
Great!
No.
What? What's the problem?
I'd rather you didn't use my razor.
I wasn't going to use your razor.
I'm living with
the boy in a bubble here.
All I'm saying is,
don't use my razors.
All I'm saying is I'm getting sick
of your paranoia about germs.
You're anal retentive.
I am not!
You are. Look how pristine you are.
I bet by the end of the day
you'll still be clean.
Okay, you're on.
The loser does dishes for a week.
Too easy.
Ha!
SIREN WAILS
(barks)
(barks)
I'll show you where it is.
Just hang on a sec.
Here, I'll take that.
And the torch, too.
Somebody's down there, I swear.
My dog's been going crazy.
I'd better have a look.
Just stay here, alright?
Ben be careful.
The ground's soaked.
It might give way, so stay back.
Oh!
Hey.
It's alright. Stay there.
What is it?
It looks like something's caved in.
(barks furiously)
Will you tell your dog
to shut up, please?
I'm trying to listen.
Hi, there, princess.
My name's Ben.
What's yours?
Huh?
Hey, do you want one?
I've been hungry for days.
Sugar, salt,
anything I can get my hands on.
Time of the month?
Any minute.
Comfort food.
Oh, cool.
Hey!
Well, there goes that theory.
Is this the new grunge look
or something?
No. Jared wouldn't lend me
his razor.
Change the record.
Do something first chance you get.
JAZ: Report from Pathology, Jared.
Mr Fischer.
TERRI: We're still one staff
member down so I'll take room one.
Penny Challinor.
What is it?
She's not high dependency.
That's a matter of opinion.
(chuckles)
I'm sure if anyone can handle her,
you can.
Hey, have you got
your HIV results back yet?
Ah, one more week to go.
Gidday, Michael.
Ready for your shower?
With this chunk out of my back?
We'll cover that with plastic,
make it waterproof.
Okay.
I'll just check your wound first.
Any news of my results?
No, nothing's come through
for you yet.
But it should be some time today.
Yeah, that all looks pretty clean.
How's your pain?
It's okay.
It's the waiting I can't handle.
Yeah. Well, try not to get
too stressed out about it.
That's easy for you to say, mate.
You're not waiting to see
if you've got cancer.
BEN: It's okay, honey.
CONCERNED CONVERSATIONS
They reckon the whole area's
completely unstable.
It's rain-soaked and there's a
good chance this could go any time.
It's rain-soaked and there's a
good chance this could go any time.
Where's that drain coming fr
Where's that drain coming from?
The catchment area
in the Blue Mountains.
It's used to release storm water.
The plumbing under the parks
hasn't been upgraded for years.
Meaning?
She's trapped in a collapsing drain.
Wouldn't take much
to pull the whole thing in on her.
Hang on a minute.
Okay.
Ben.
(frightened) Ben?
It's okay, honey. It's okay.
I'm not going to go anywhere
I promise.
I just have to talk to some people
who'll help me get you out of there.
Do you understand?
Yeah? Good.
I'm just going to be right here,
okay?
I'll throw you a portable, okay?
Okay.
Bron, are you there?
Yeah. How is she?
I want to put a harness on her but
she's too young to do it herself.
Ask him how bad her leg is.
How bad's her leg?
I don't know.
She's stuck fast, she can't move.
I can't make an assessment
like this.
Tell him we need to know.
Is she in pain?
Yeah, but we can't give her
a narcotic in case of a reaction.
Okay, what about entonox gas?
Good idea.
Right, I'm getting it for you now.
Won't be long.
Get down here, will you?
I need a break.
Righto.
I have to get you some medicine.
No!
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'm scared.
Don't leave me.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll stay here.
I promise.
(hacking cough)
BUZZER SOUNDS
Nurse!
I've been buzzing and buzzing.
Where's Connor?
That's a good question.
What seems to be the problem,
Mrs Wallace?
I can't stop coughing.
I've got these terrible pains
in my stomach.
(gags) Oh, I think I'm going to
be ill again.
Okay, just try a sip of water.
It might help settle
your cough down a bit.
Jared, what are you doing?
Mrs Wallace is nil by mouth.
Where's the sign?
Right here.
I would have had it up
except I had to have a shave.
Thanks to someone.
Listen, get off my case and worry
about your patients for a change.
Why don't you keep your shirt on?
(coughs violently)
Okay, try and take
a few deep breaths.
Yes, thanks, Jared.
I'll take over now.
Be my guest.
Okay, Mrs Wallace
(retches)
There's a little girl
stuck in a drain.
They're trying to rescue her.
Where did you hear that?
I was on the phone to A&E.
Are you sure it's Ben and Bron?
Yeah.
Hey, Steph. Are you okay?
Yeah.
The poor little girl.
What's all that about?
She hates it when Ben's saving kids.
Yuck!
Yeah. Jared was by the bedside
but I, of course, copped the lot!
What am I supposed to do?
Let your patient vomit all over me?
I hope you're going to change.
Oh
JAZ: You okay, Jared?
Get out of the wrong side of bed?
No, I'm fine.
Listen, sweetheart, I'm going to
pass this tube down to you, okay?
I want you to grab the end
and suck on it like a big straw.
Do you think you can do that?
Huh?
Can you reach it?
I can't.
Okay. Hold on. Hold on.
Just hold on.
There. Good girl, good girl!
Now, put it in your mouth
and suck on it, okay?
Listen to me.
No.
That's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
(sobbing)
Steady. We don't want
the whole thing to cave in.
Steady.
Whoa!
Bron?
Yeah.
Uh
Come on, Ben.
I'm running out of options here.
She's just a little girl, Bron.
What can I do?
Samantha.
Jared. How's it going?
Good.
I wonder if you'd do me a favour.
Yeah.
Michael Janovic is sweating on
the biopsy results.
Has there been any word
from the lab?
The results go to Dr Archer.
I know, but I thought if they
were on his desk somewhere
Sorry.
As much as I'd like to,
I can't step on Archer's toes.
It was worth a shot.
I would if I could.
No, it's okay.
I've got to get back.
See ya.
Here we are, Mrs Mortimer.
Oh, call me Bridget.
You probably won't be able to
nap in here,
but Maternity will call
when they have a bed available.
That's okay.
I'm too excited to sleep.
That's a shame.
Once the baby comes
you won't get any for a while.
Right, I'm just going to
check the baby's heart rate.
He's not our first.
It's a boy?
Yeah.
We've already got a girl,
so we're really thrilled.
Can I hold that?
Yeah.
Thanks very much.
Is that cold?
A little bit.
Let's see.
SOUND OF HEARTBEA
Bron, one of the blokes found this.
I'm pretty sure
it belongs to the little girl.
REGULAR HEARTBEA
Oh, 154, okay.
Oh, that's close enough.
Okay.
There you go.
Thanks.
Your family coming in?
I won't call till labour starts.
There's no point in everyone being
here until something happens.
Yeah. Now, this is for my daughter.
From her baby brother
when he arrives.
Oh, that's a good idea.
It can be hard for kids
to accept a new baby.
Oh, not our Kara.
She can't wait.
Is this yours?
Hmm?
Yeah?
Were you running away from home?
Huh?
Do you want to tell me why?
Hey, who's this?
Mollie.
She's running away, too.
I was worried,
I thought I'd lost her.
Yeah?
I bet she wants to say hello.
Can you catch her?
Good girl.
You know, your mummy's
probably worried about you.
If you tell me your name
I might be able to find her.
Let her know that you're alright.
Mummy doesn't love me any more.
Jaz. Any word from Maternity
on a bed for Bridget Mortimer?
No, not yet.
Any developments?
Oh, nothing to worry about.
I wish she'd have the baby here.
It'd be great.
I haven't delivered a baby in ages.
Don't get your hopes up.
She's just a boarder.
I've never seen a baby born.
Maybe you should.
Put you off for life.
(all laugh)
I reckon it'd be really beautiful.
I'd love to have one.
Children having children.
I didn't mean today.
I meant in the very distant future.
BUZZER SOUNDS
How are you getting on
with Penny Challinor?
She'll be fine.
Don't ask her how she is.
She'll tell you.
Better her than us.
URGENT BUZZING
Mrs Challinor, I'm Terri.
I'm here to take out
the rest of your staples.
Thank goodness! I've been on
that buzzer for the past hour.
I was afraid you'd forgotten me,
and if they don't come out
they might go septic.
Oh, there's no danger of that.
Oh, I hate coming into hospital.
Well, we'll get this over with
as quickly as possible.
Could you lift your nightie, please?
Thanks.
Doctor says I can go home tomorrow.
I felt quite ill yesterday.
Oh, no.
How are you feeling today?
The hysterectomy
is a very painful procedure.
They've got to get all those
bits and pieces out.
(shrieks)
Oh!
I'm just having a look.
Mind you, years ago I had an
operation on my haemorrhoids
and I've had terrible wind
ever since then, I can tell you.
So, what now?
We've got to tunnel in to reach her.
How long will that take?
She's really tired.
Normally we'd get
earth moving equipment,
but the landfill is too unstable.
We have to do it by hand.
Oh, you're kidding, right?
That's the way it is.
Well, how long?
As long as it takes, Bron.
Come on, guys, get a move on.
It'll be midnight
before we get her out.
PENNY: Then they told me
I had a hiatus hernia
and that was the reason
I was having all that gastro.
(screams) Oh! Oh!
Ow!
(gritted) If you just hold still,
I've only got a few more to go.
Then they put a camera
down my throat.
Of course that didn't worry me, I'd
already had one up the back passage.
It wasn't as big as a normal camera.
(squeals) Oo-w!
It's all done.
I'll just swab the area.
But I said to him,
"Dr Stewart", I said,
"I'm still recovering from having
my varicose veins stripped".
Oh, and a messy business that was,
let me tell you.
There we go. All done.
Of course, with the benefit
of hindsight,
I never would have
put myself through it.
Who is responsible
for not rinsing the pans?
What are you talking about?
The steriliser rinses the pans.
It doesn't always do a perfect job.
It's like humans -
some are more efficient than others.
I think the word ANAL
is the one you're looking for.
Don't let it happen again.
I'm sick of cleaning up
your sloppy mess.
TROLLEY CLATTERS
Are you alright?
I'm fine, thanks.
Are you sure?
You look somewhat stressed.
Don't you guys have patients
to attend to?
Asked the fatal question,
didn't you?
Any news?
No, afraid not.
I can't stand this.
It's like Chinese water torture.
I guess your work
isn't helping either.
Are you kidding?
I can't concentrate on anything.
Yeah, well, I know how you feel.
No offence,
but I don't think you do.
Don't you believe it.
I've sweated on tests.
Just hold still.
What sort of tests?
Ah, yeah, I guess not.
Nothing like yours.
How about a game of cards?
Maybe that'd help.
Sorry. I've got a few more patients
I've got to do.
Yeah, sure.
Is there a friend or something
you could call?
Be here for you
when you get your test results?
Yeah, Sharon.
Is she your girlfriend?
Well, no. She's my best mate.
We've known each other since school.
Things never got romantic?
Oh, we decided
we'd be better as friends.
Yeah, well, sometimes
it's for the best, eh?
All the vomiting's made you
dehydrated, but we can fix that.
Start an IV with one litre
of Hartmann's at 160 an hour.
Yep.
I'll be back soon.
JAZ: Are you sure it's okay?
Ward 17's turned Maternity.
They're full downstairs.
Hang on a sec. There.
(gasps)
Did you feel that?
Yeah.
Your turn, Doctor.
Oh, no, it's not my field.
I'm a surgeon.
Did that hurt?
No. It feels kind of weird
but you get used to it.
Are you scared about all the pain?
Well, it's pretty full-on.
But it's worth it.
Where is your mummy, Kara?
You know the police
are looking for her.
You can help them find her.
Mummy's gone away.
Where?
(mumbles) To hospital.
Where?
To the hospital.
Who's been looking after you then?
Kara!
Kara!
No. You can't go over there.
No. You can't go over there.
Mr Mortimer?
Yeah.
Where is she? It's my daughter.
I'm Bron. What have you been told?
A cop said she'd fallen down a hole.
Is she hurt?
She's probably broken her leg,
but she'll be okay.
You sit over here.
I've got to see her.
You can't go there right now.
Why not?
Why aren't you doing something?
We're doing everything we can,
but it's unstable over there.
(calls) Kara!
Please, here.
Kara, I'm here, girl.
What is it, sweetheart?
It's Daddy.
KARA!
Daddy!
It's okay, Kara.
Everything's going to be alright.
It's alright.
He was angry with me.
It's okay. It's okay.
No-one's angry with you now.
Okay?
URGENT BUZZING
I wish she'd stop.
I can't concentrate.
Someone has to tell the damned woman
buzzing incessantly is selfish.
And dangerous.
Where's Terri?
Probably hiding in her office.
I don't blame her.
Penny's a handful.
Penny's an earful.
(cross) Mine, I think!
How long does she have
before she completely loses it?
Serves her right for
taking the "light" patient.
Mmm!
It's empty.
It's perfectly reasonable.
I was afraid something
like this'd happen.
Lots of kids run away from home.
She'd been mucking up
and I lost my temper.
Did you hit her?
Yeah, I smacked her.
Oh, for crying out loud,
it was a flick on the bum.
I'd never hurt my own kid.
Okay. What about Kara's mum?
She's in hospital
about to have a baby.
Oh, God. Where abouts?
All Saints.
Do you want to call her?
No. I don't want to tell her
about this, not yet.
You're sure?
I said no, didn't I?
Hey, when you see Kara,
can you tell her that I'm sorry?
And that I love her.
I've just had word
from the rescue site.
Yeah? How's it going?
Ben's fine. They're still trying
to get the girl out.
As it turns out,
her mother is Bridget Mortimer.
As it turns out,
her mother is Bridget Mortimer.
My patient?
Yeah.
My patient?
Yeah.
You're kidding!
Her husband, Gary, is out there, and
he doesn't want Bridget to be told.
The induction gel's been given.
You're right. If we tell her, all
she'll do is lie there and worry.
(groans)
Steph, Ben will be fine.
Yeah, I know.
Any contractions yet?
No, but when I went to the bathroom
there was a show of mucus.
That's promising.
I know.
I'm starting to remember
when Kara was born.
It was so fantastic.
Well, let's check your blood
pressure and baby's heart rate.
I should ring Gary, let him
and Kara know what's going on.
Oh, plenty of time for that.
He'll be wondering what's happening.
Labour may not start for hours.
Do you think you need to
call him yet?
You're right.
I'll leave them to enjoy themselves.
He'll be spoiling her rotten.
He adores Kara.
Oh, that's lovely.
Thanks, mate.
Excuse me.
Hey, what's with the diving gear?
We had a report of flooding
in the Wongabel Creek area.
That's a long way from here.
The run-off from that area
leads into this network.
The drains will fill with water.
Mate, we need to be prepared for it.
You said there wouldn't be
any water.
Gary come back.
No!
Come back here.
Get him out of here.
Why don't you do something?
Get her out!
Kara!
Gary, you've got to keep clear.
We've got to get our job done.
Alright? Come on.
Hey. Have you got a minute?
Yeah, sure.
It's about your patient.
Michael Janovic.
Yeah?
Bad news. It's a malignant melanoma.
Stage three.
When's Archer going to tell him?
He's not.
Well, who's going to do it?
Don't tell me
he passed the buck onto you.
It's not something
I'm looking forward to.
Well, get Archer to do it.
No, it's part of the job.
I have to get used to it.
Do you want me to come with you?
Would you?
You shouldn't be alone
the first time you do it.
Come on, it'll be great.
Yeah, I'll see how I go.
They're really hanging out
to see you.
I don't feel like
I'm the life of the party just now.
I know.
Jared, this is my mate Sharon.
Hi.
Hi, Michael. Dr Archer asked me
to talk to you about your results.
What's the verdict, doc?
Do you want me to stay?
Yeah, of course.
Come here.
The biopsy results confirm the
presence of some malignant cells.
How bad is it?
We use a grading system
to determine
I know. We've been
looking through these.
Good. Well, it's what we call
a stage three.
I know this must be a shock.
I know this must be a shock.
It's better than a four.
It's better than a four.
It is.
But a three's still
pretty bad though, isn't it?
It carries a risk factor of 40%.
Meaning 40% die?
It's just a statistic.
And it says here,
it's reducing all the time.
The good news is
the melanoma's been removed
before it's spread
to the lymph glands.
And the bad news is I've got cancer.
LOUD RUMBLING
There's water here!
Get me out.
The drain's flooding!
(screams)
Get me out!
Kara, do you like the Wiggles?
Who's your favourite Wiggle?
I don't know.
Do you like Dorothy the Dinosaur?
Do you like her?
The water's rising!
You know, some dinosaurs can swim
underwater. Did you know that?
(scared) No.
I'm going to show you how
you can swim underwater, alright?
No.
I'm going to show you how they can.
Here, I want you to grab this.
Can you grab this for me?
Can you grab this?
I can't.
Reach up. That's a good girl.
Now, I want you to put that in your
mouth and bite down on the sides.
Put it in your mouth and bite down
and then breathe - in and out.
That's it. That's it.
I can't. I can't breathe.
It's okay. It's okay.
I can't breathe. (Coughs)
Try again. Try again.
Put it in your mouth.
Breathe slowly.
(rapid breaths)
No, that's too fast.
Slow down. Slow down.
(coughs and gags) I can't breathe.
I can't breathe!
I want to get out.
It's okay.
LOUD RUMBLING
I can't breathe.
The water's rising!
Get me out!
Bron, she's hyperventilating.
(anguished screams)
I'll come back and see you again
later, if you like?
Yeah, I guess.
It's weird, you know.
I had a bad feeling about this
all along.
I'm sorry it's not better news,
Michael.
Well, the waiting's over.
Hey. Come on, you'll beat this.
You reckon?
Would I have a friend who's a loser?
Besides, who am I going to slag off
if you're not around?
BITTERSWEET MUSIC
There's no easy way
to tell someone bad news.
Are you okay?
Me? Yes, sure.
You seem kind of strung out.
No. Connor always goes on about how
I get too involved with my patients.
A sign of a good nurse.
Not really.
Ah, you want to go for a coffee?
I reckon we both earned it.
Er sorry.
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
(wails) Ben.
(wails) Ben.
Hold on, Kara.
Get me out!
Hold on, Kara.
Get me out!
Lower me down.
I've got to get her out.
No, it's too risky.
(squeals)
She's going to drown!
Ben, she's trapped!
I'll get her out.
Lower me down. NOW!
The water's rising!
Give me your hand.
Give me your hand.
Reach up. That's it.
(squeals)
Give me your hand.
Daddy!
I've got her. I've got her.
Dad-dy!
Look at me, Kara.
(squeals)
Kara!
Get back.
Look at me, Kara. Look at me.
(squeals)
N-oo!
No. No!!
(sobs)
Not my little girl.
There's no way she could have
survived that?
No.
(weeps)
Um look, mate, maybe we should
get you to hospital, eh?
Let someone take a look at you.
Come on, mate.
Are you alright?
BUZZER SOUNDS
Nurse, I think that lady's
having a baby.
Contractions?
(gasps) Yeah.
Oh!
I'd forgotten how intense they are.
Okay. Let's see what's going on.
I have five minutes.
PERSISTENT BUZZING
(wry) You haven't.
That can't be. Not again!
Ah, Terri
It's Penny.
BUZZING CONTINUES
Just a menthol rub, dear.
I've got the sneezes.
There's some in my wash-pack
over there.
This is a hospital,
NOT a beauty parlour.
Nor am I your personal assistant.
Please stop abusing your privileges.
But
You are not the only patient
on this ward, nor the sickest.
But you are the most demanding!
Oh! (Wails)
What's happened?
She's crying.
At least it shut her up.
PERSISTENT BUZZING
Oh, no. Oh, no!
I can't go back in there.
I've got a meeting to go to.
Terri, she is your patient.
(harried) Oh, listen, I'm the boss
and you're the worker.
I've never heard you
pull rank before.
I've never had a patient
like this before.
Right, well, I'd better
get scrubbing those bedpans.
Connor, I'll help you.
Good.
BUZZING CONTINUES
I just do phones.
I guess I'll do Penny, then.
Mrs Challinor, I'm Jared.
What can I do for you?
That Sister Sullivan.
What a horrible woman she is.
I'm sure she didn't
mean to upset you.
She said some very cruel things.
(wails)
Jared can't stand to see anyone cry.
He'll give her a big, sloppy hug.
Oh, no, the mascara!
(talks tenderly) It's alright.
That's my boy.
She's having a contraction
every five minutes.
Okay. Thanks.
Maternity has a delivery room.
Can you page an orderly
for wheelchair transfer?
Do I have to?
Yeah.
Isn't this exciting?
A change from sickness and death.
I just heard from the rescue site
that Kara's drowned.
Bridget's husband
is on his way here now.
Yep. Yep.
POIGNANT MUSIC
(exhales deeply)
Will you be okay?

Look, I've got to fly,

As I was saying.
I was in a great deal of pain,
so naturally I demanded attention.
They say "the squeaky wheel
gets the oil",
and there's good reason for that.
You are such a slob.
You are such a priss.
I bet Mummy was happy when you came
home from school neat and tidy.
Alright. Ease up, okay?
Oh, yes. Being neat and clean
must be a full time job for you.
Drop it.
Admit it, mate.
You're a neat freak.
"My cup", "my razor".
You want to know why
I wouldn't let you borrow my razor?
Because I could be
HIV positive, okay?
What? How?
Angie.
Oh, mate, I'm so sorry.
It's alright. You weren't to know.
Why didn't you tell me?
I knew how you felt about her.
Well, what does that matter?
Did you think
I'd kick you out of here?
No.
We deal with HIV patients
all the time.
I'm not HIV positive, okay?
I've got one more result to go
and hopefully I'll be clear.
That's not what I meant.
I just meant whatever the result,
you wouldn't have to deal with it
on your own.
Thanks.
I appreciate that.
Don't mind me, guys.
It's not what you think.
Looks like I win after all.
You know, you definitely did that

Sorry.

I won't call till labour starts.
There's no point in everyone being

It can be hard for kids

She can't wait.
Is this yours?
Hmm?
Yeah?
Were you running away from home?
Huh?
Do you want to tell me why?
Hey, who's this?
Mollie.
She's running away, too.
I was worried,
I thought I'd lost her.
Yeah?
I bet she wants to say hello.
Can you catch her?
Good girl.
You know, your mummy's
probably worried about you.
If you tell me your name
I might be able to find her.
Let her know that you're alright.
Mummy doesn't love me any more.
Jaz. Any word from Maternity
on a bed for Bridget Mortimer?
No, not yet.
Any developments?
Oh, nothing to worry about.
I wish she'd have the baby here.
It'd be great.
I haven't delivered a baby in ages.
Don't get your hopes up.
She's just a boarder.
I've never seen a baby born.

I felt quite ill yesterday.
Oh, no.
How are you feeling today?
The hysterectomy

They've got to get all those
bits and pieces out.

Oh!
I'm just having a look.
Mind you, years ago I had an
operation on my haemorrhoids
and I've had terrible wind
ever since then, I can tell you.
So, what now?
We've got to tunnel in to reach her.
How long will that take?
She's really tired.
Normally we'd get
earth moving equipment,
but the landfill is too unstable.
We have to do it by hand.
Oh, you're kidding, right?
That's the way it is.
Well, how long?
As long as it takes, Bron.
Come on, guys, get a move on.
It'll be midnight
before we get her out.
PENNY: Then they told me
I had a hiatus hernia
and that was the reason
I was having all that gastro.
(screams) Oh! Oh!
Ow!
(gritted) If you just hold still,
I've only got a few more to go.
Then they put a camera
down my throat.
Of course that didn't worry me, I'd
already had one up the back passage.
It wasn't as big as a normal camera.
(squeals) Oo-w!
It's all done.
I'll just swab the area.
But I said to him,
"Dr Stewart", I said,
"I'm still recovering from having
my varicose veins stripped".
Oh, and a messy business that was,
let me tell you.
There we go. All done.
Of course, with the benefit
of hindsight,
I never would have
put myself through it.

No, afraid not.
I can't stand this.
It's like Chinese water torture.
I guess your work
isn't helping either.
Are you kidding?
I can't concentrate on anything.
Yeah, well, I know how you feel.
No offence,
but I don't think you do.
Don't you believe it.
I've sweated on tests.
Just hold still.
What sort of tests?
Ah, yeah, I guess not.
Nothing like yours.
How about a game of cards?
Maybe that'd help.
Sorry. I've got a few more patients
I've got to do.
Yeah, sure.
Is there a friend or something
you could call?
Be here for you
when you get your test results?
Yeah, Sharon.
Is she your girlfriend?
Well, no. She's my best mate.
We've known each other since school.
Things never got romantic?
Oh, we decided
we'd be better as friends.
Yeah, well, sometimes
it's for the best, eh?
All the vomiting's made you
dehydrated, but we can fix that.
Start an IV with one litre
of Hartmann's at 160 an hour.
Yep.
I'll be back soon.
JAZ: Are you sure it's okay?
Ward 17's turned Maternity.
They're full downstairs.
Hang on a sec. There.
(gasps)
Did you feel that?
Yeah.
Your turn, Doctor.
Oh, no, it's not my field.
I'm a surgeon.
Did that hurt?
No. It feels kind of weird
but you get used to it.
Are you scared about all the pain?
Well, it's pretty full-on.
But it's worth it.
Where is your mummy, Kara?
You know the police
are looking for her.
You can help them find her.
Mummy's gone away.
Where?
(mumbles) To hospital.
Where?
To the hospital.
Who's been looking after you then?
Kara!
Kara!
No. You can't go over there.
No. You can't go over there.
Mr Mortimer?
Yeah.
Where is she? It's my daughter.
I'm Bron. What have you been told?
A cop said she'd fallen down a hole.
Is she hurt?
She's probably broken her leg,
but she'll be okay.
You sit over here.
I've got to see her.
You can't go there right now.
Why not?
Why aren't you doing something?
We're doing everything we can,
but it's unstable over there.
(calls) Kara!
Please, here.
Kara, I'm here, girl.
What is it, sweetheart?
It's Daddy.
KARA!
Daddy!
It's okay, Kara.
Everything's going to be alright.
It's alright.
He was angry with me.
It's okay. It's okay.
No-one's angry with you now.
Okay?
URGENT BUZZING
I wish she'd stop.
I can't concentrate.
Someone has to tell the damned woman
buzzing incessantly is selfish.
And dangerous.
Where's Terri?
Probably hiding in her office.
I don't blame her.
Penny's a handful.
Penny's an earful.
(cross) Mine, I think!
How long does she have
before she completely loses it?
Serves her right for
taking the "light" patient.
Mmm!
It's empty.
It's perfectly reasonable.
I was afraid something
like this'd happen.
Lots of kids run away from home.
She'd been mucking up
and I lost my temper.
Did you hit her?
Yeah, I smacked her.
Oh, for crying out loud,
it was a flick on the bum.
I'd never hurt my own kid.
Okay. What about Kara's mum?
She's in hospital
about to have a baby.
Oh, God. Where abouts?
All Saints.
Do you want to call her?
No. I don't want to tell her
about this, not yet.
You're sure?
I said no, didn't I?
Hey, when you see Kara,
can you tell her that I'm sorry?
And that I love her.
I've just had word
from the rescue site.
Yeah? How's it going?
Ben's fine. They're still trying
to get the girl out.
As it turns out,
her mother is Bridget Mortimer.
As it turns out,
her mother is Bridget Mortimer.
My patient?
Yeah.
My patient?
Yeah.
You're kidding!
Her husband, Gary, is out there, and
he doesn't want Bridget to be told.
The induction gel's been given.
You're right. If we tell her, all
she'll do is lie there and worry.
(groans)
Steph, Ben will be fine.
Yeah, I know.
Any contractions yet?
No, but when I went to the bathroom
there was a show of mucus.
That's promising.
I know.
I'm starting to remember
when Kara was born.
It was so fantastic.
Well, let's check your blood
pressure and baby's heart rate.
I should ring Gary, let him
and Kara know what's going on.
Oh, plenty of time for that.
He'll be wondering what's happening.
Labour may not start for hours.
Do you think you need to
call him yet?
You're right.
I'll leave them to enjoy themselves.
He'll be spoiling her rotten.
He adores Kara.
Oh, that's lovely.
Thanks, mate.
Excuse me.
Hey, what's with the diving gear?
We had a report of flooding
in the Wongabel Creek area.
That's a long way from here.
The run-off from that area
leads into this network.
The drains will fill with water.
Mate, we need to be prepared for it.
You said there wouldn't be
any water.
Gary come back.
No!
Come back here.
Get him out of here.
Why don't you do something?
Get her out!
Kara!
Gary, you've got to keep clear.
We've got to get our job done.
Alright? Come on.
Hey. Have you got a minute?
Yeah, sure.
It's about your patient.
Michael Janovic.
Yeah?
Bad news. It's a malignant melanoma.
Stage three.
When's Archer going to tell him?
He's not.
Well, who's going to do it?
Don't tell me
he passed the buck onto you.
It's not something
I'm looking forward to.
Well, get Archer to do it.
No, it's part of the job.
I have to get used to it.
Do you want me to come with you?
Would you?
You shouldn't be alone
the first time you do it.
Come on, it'll be great.
Yeah, I'll see how I go.
They're really hanging out
to see you.
I don't feel like
I'm the life of the party just now.
I know.
Jared, this is my mate Sharon.
Hi.
Hi, Michael. Dr Archer asked me
to talk to you about your results.
What's the verdict, doc?
Do you want me to stay?
Yeah, of course.
Come here.
The biopsy results confirm the
presence of some malignant cells.
How bad is it?
We use a grading system
to determine
I know. We've been
looking through these.
Good. Well, it's what we call
a stage three.
I know this must be a shock.
I know this must be a shock.
It's better than a four.
It's better than a four.
It is.
But a three's still
pretty bad though, isn't it?
It carries a risk factor of 40%.
Meaning 40% die?
It's just a statistic.
And it says here,
it's reducing all the time.
The good news is
the melanoma's been removed
before it's spread
to the lymph glands.
And the bad news is I've got cancer.
LOUD RUMBLING
There's water here!
Get me out.
The drain's flooding!
(screams)
Get me out!
Kara, do you like the Wiggles?
Who's your favourite Wiggle?
I don't know.
Do you like Dorothy the Dinosaur?
Do you like her?
The water's rising!
You know, some dinosaurs can swim
underwater. Did you know that?
(scared) No.
I'm going to show you how
you can swim underwater, alright?
No.
I'm going to show you how they can.
Here, I want you to grab this.
Can you grab this for me?
Can you grab this?
I can't.
Reach up. That's a good girl.
Now, I want you to put that in your
mouth and bite down on the sides.
Put it in your mouth and bite down
and then breathe - in and out.
That's it. That's it.
I can't. I can't breathe.
It's okay. It's okay.
I can't breathe. (Coughs)
Try again. Try again.
Put it in your mouth.
Breathe slowly.
(rapid breaths)
No, that's too fast.
Slow down. Slow down.
(coughs and gags) I can't breathe.
I can't breathe!
I want to get out.
It's okay.

I can't breathe.
The water's rising!
Get me out!
Bron, she's hyperventilating.
(anguished screams)
I'll come back and see you again
later, if you like?
Yeah, I guess.
It's weird, you know.
I had a bad feeling about this
all along.
I'm sorry it's not better news,
Michael.
Well, the waiting's over.
Hey. Come on, you'll beat this.
You reckon?
Would I have a friend who's a loser?
Besides, who am I going to slag off
if you're not around?
BITTERSWEET MUSIC
There's no easy way
to tell someone bad news.
Are you okay?
Me? Yes, sure.
You seem kind of strung out.
No. Connor always goes on about how
I get too involved with my patients.
A sign of a good nurse.
Not really.
Ah, you want to go for a coffee?
I reckon we both earned it.
Er sorry.
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
(wails) Ben.
(wails) Ben.
Hold on, Kara.
Get me out!
Hold on, Kara.
Get me out!
Lower me down.
I've got to get her out.
No, it's too risky.
(squeals)
She's going to drown!
Ben, she's trapped!
I'll get her out.
Lower me down. NOW!
The water's rising!
Give me your hand.
Give me your hand.
Reach up. That's it.
(squeals)
Give me your hand.
Daddy!
I've got her. I've got her.
Dad-dy!
Look at me, Kara.
(squeals)
Kara!
Get back.
Look at me, Kara. Look at me.
(squeals)
N-oo!
No. No!!
(sobs)
Not my little girl.
There's no way she could have
survived that?
No.
(weeps)
Um look, mate, maybe we should
get you to hospital, eh?
Let someone take a look at you.
Come on, mate.
Are you alright?
BUZZER SOUNDS
Nurse, I think that lady's
having a baby.
Contractions?
(gasps) Yeah.
Oh!
I'd forgotten how intense they are.
Okay. Let's see what's going on.
I have five minutes.
PERSISTENT BUZZING
(wry) You haven't.
That can't be. Not again!
Ah, Terri
It's Penny.
BUZZING CONTINUES
Just a menthol rub, dear.
I've got the sneezes.
There's some in my wash-pack
over there.
This is a hospital,
NOT a beauty parlour.
Nor am I your personal assistant.
Please stop abusing your privileges.
But
You are not the only patient
on this ward, nor the sickest.
But you are the most demanding!
Oh! (Wails)
What's happened?
She's crying.
At least it shut her up.
PERSISTENT BUZZING
Oh, no. Oh, no!
I can't go back in there.
I've got a meeting to go to.
Terri, she is your patient.
(harried) Oh, listen, I'm the boss
and you're the worker.
I've never heard you
pull rank before.
I've never had a patient
like this before.
Right, well, I'd better
get scrubbing those bedpans.
Connor, I'll help you.
Good.
BUZZING CONTINUES
I just do phones.
I guess I'll do Penny, then.
Mrs Challinor, I'm Jared.
What can I do for you?
That Sister Sullivan.
What a horrible woman she is.
I'm sure she didn't
mean to upset you.
She said some very cruel things.
(wails)
Jared can't stand to see anyone cry.
He'll give her a big, sloppy hug.
Oh, no, the mascara!
(talks tenderly) It's alright.
That's my boy.
She's having a contraction
every five minutes.
Okay. Thanks.
Maternity has a delivery room.
Can you page an orderly
for wheelchair transfer?
Do I have to?
Yeah.
Isn't this exciting?
A change from sickness and death.
I just heard from the rescue site
that Kara's drowned.
Bridget's husband
is on his way here now.
Yep. Yep.
POIGNANT MUSIC
(exhales deeply)
Will you be okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
We should go.
I want to be there.
I want to be there.
Ben, there is no way
she would have survived.
Ben, there is no way
she would have survived.
Come on, you know that.
(determined) I want to be there.
SIRENS WAIL
SOMBRE MUSIC
MURMURED CONVERSATIONS
TELEPHONE RINGS UNANSWERED
Oh, come on.
Where are you?
Where have you been?
I've been calling and calling.
Wha where's Kara?
DRAMATIC MUSIC
We've found her!
SORROWFUL MUSIC
Pete, throw us a body bag.
Ben.
You're not putting her
in one of those.
Oh, Ben.
I'm so sorry.
We have to go.
Do you want me to talk to him?
No.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Ben, she can't hear you.
She's dead.
I'm supposed to save everyone.
You can't save everyone.
This is not your fault.
Come on.
Come on, darl. Let them take her.
She's right, mate.
I've got her.
You know, in training they talked
a lot about the importance
of debriefing
after traumatic events.
Now, maybe both of us
should talk to somebody.
You do what you like.
I'm fine.
You crossed the line today.
And they weren't the actions
of somebody who's fine.
You need help, Ben.
You need professional help.
Okay?
If you don't get help,
I'll have to tell the office.
It's your decision.
Hey
I won't go in there yet.
I'll give them
a couple more minutes.
Oh, Bron, we heard.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Where's Ben?
Downstairs.
He's in pretty bad shape.
ORDERLY: We're here to collect
Bridget Mortimer.
Yep. Just this way.
Every year the baby's birthday
is going to remind them
of losing their little girl.
Are you going to buy me one?
Yeah. We're finishing up here.
Why not?
DOOR KNOCK
Mrs Challinor
I've been in a lot of hospitals
in my time,
and I've had to deal with
a lot of nurses
I can imagine.
..but I can't recall ever being
spoken to as rudely as you did.
Well, I realise that I was
Except for that man in Emergency.
I'm trying to
I had a very distressing condition
of the toenail,
and this person kept me
waiting round for an entire hour
while they fussed around with
someone who wasn't even conscious
Oh!
..for goodness sake!
Dr Morrison.
I've got an important meeting
I'm late for.
Oh! You snuck up on me.
I need to discuss
Mr Helpman's case with you.
Mr Helpman?
Mr Helpman?
Mr Help-man.
Mr Help-man.
Mr Help-man.
Yes.
Oh, he died. Mmm.
Look, I've got to fly,
so I'll catch you tomorrow.
As I was saying.
I was in a great deal of pain,
so naturally I demanded attention.
They say "the squeaky wheel
gets the oil",
and there's good reason for that.
You are such a slob.
You are such a priss.
I bet Mummy was happy when you came
home from school neat and tidy.
Alright. Ease up, okay?
Oh, yes. Being neat and clean
must be a full time job for you.
Drop it.
Admit it, mate.
You're a neat freak.
"My cup", "my razor".
You want to know why
I wouldn't let you borrow my razor?
Because I could be
HIV positive, okay?
What? How?
Angie.
Oh, mate, I'm so sorry.
It's alright. You weren't to know.
Why didn't you tell me?
I knew how you felt about her.
Well, what does that matter?
Did you think
I'd kick you out of here?
No.
We deal with HIV patients
all the time.
I'm not HIV positive, okay?
I've got one more result to go
and hopefully I'll be clear.
That's not what I meant.
I just meant whatever the result,
you wouldn't have to deal with it
on your own.
Thanks.
I appreciate that.
Don't mind me, guys.
It's not what you think.
Looks like I win after all.
You know, you definitely did that
on purpose.
You will never know.
Eh!
