Original subtitles

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.

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.

50.

30.

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 kno 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.
