SONG: ♪ When the sun
did rise this morning

♪ I could hear my soul a-calling

♪ In my heart I know it's time

♪ 'Cause I'm a medicine woman

♪ I know the sparks are gonna fly

♪ Whoa, woman

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
ON CAR STEREO)

We'll have to send him
some L-plates for his 16th.

Mainland road rules
don't apply on Hope Island.

We don't have any roads.

You don't have any police either.

(ENGINE GRINDS)

(ENGINE REVS)

You want me to drive?

Oh, come on, knock it off.

Hi!
Whoo-hoo!

(MUSIC STOPS)

Oh, Sam!

Hey, Gus.
Hey, how are you, mate?

David! How are you?

Thank you. Come in.

Bit heavy this one, isn't it?
Don't you worry about that.

JACK: Stonefish, awesome.

I love this. This stuff's great!

Well, it's my photography.
It's my editing.

I seem to remember the last award
was for photography.

Is this from the Great Barrier Reef?
JACK: Florida.

David and Megan are shooting

their new Underwater World
documentary series.

What a great life, hey?

You guys sail all around
the world on a yacht,

filming whatever you want.

DAVID: Yeah, it's pretty good.

Yeah, like, these are a few
of the bloopers. Out-takes.

GUS: Ahh.

Here we are in Key West, and this is
my beautiful and adorable wife

who very occasionally
can be a pain in the arse.

(LAUGHTER)

Well, this is my incredibly handsome
husband here in Key West,

who most definitely...
This is...'Irukandji Enigma'.

This is Hamish's book.

Didn't realise
he published anything.

SAM: Yeah, it's all about the
mini-mes of the box jellyfish.

There are observations and
causes and effects of stings.

There's actually a photograph
of me in here.

Where is it? Page... there.

Of course.
You were part of that, hey?

MEGAN: She wasn't just part of it.

Her dad used her as a guinea pig

when he was testing
Irukandji stings.

What were you, 10?
And a half.

Yeah. He could have killed you.

That photo there was actually taken
by the local newspaper.

I had just got out of hospital.

I think I'd been in there about
three days in excruciating pain.

I wanted to tear my skin off.

I can't believe
you sound OK about it all.

Well, there were some
good bits about it too.

I got a lot of lime jelly
and ice-cream.

Ah, then perhaps for
your next experiment

you should use young Jack.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, oh, that reminds me.
We have something for you.

Oh, come on, guys.

You're spoiling him, and I am trying
to teach him some self-discipline.

And that's what godparents are for.

Been saving up for ages.
Not that expensive.

Oh, it's the best present
in the world.

Don't get too excited.

I pre-loaded our entire
catalogue onto it.

Yeah. Call it the
David and Megan box set.

Everything that we have shot
since we were at uni together.

Including all the out-takes.

Oh, I love your bloopers.
They're hilarious.

Here's to you guys.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

That rock is thousands
of metres below.

There was creatures everywhere.

You know what? I could
film that one wall forever.

That's you, isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah.

Excuse me. Um, it's really late.

Are you gonna let
my son get some sleep?

We're just...
You know, Megan,

I can see why you've won all those
awards for editing.

Thank you!
Wait, hey, hang on! I'm insulted.

And I'm surprised
you're not in a coma

if he's making you watch all those
out-of-focus shots.

Goodnight. Goodnight.

Hey, thanks for picking us up
today, mate.

He's growing up, Sam.

He's just gorgeous.

He misses you guys.
Oh, we miss him.

Well, make one of your own.

You can't put it off forever.

So your emails keep saying.
You're as bad as David.

The more reluctant I am
the cluckier he gets.

It's not that I don't want a baby.

It's just how can I juggle
our careers and a kid?

I do.

I do it rather badly sometimes,
but...

Well, half the year
we are on a yacht

and the other half
I'm in an editing room,

and I can't just
park a kid on the beach.

I did.

Megs, you're not getting any younger.

- Ow.
- You can't wait any longer.

Well, if I'm lucky, someone will
figure out how to make men pregnant.

Yeah, I think David would have
up and left you by then.

They're not all like Andrew, Sam.

I still can't believe
he ran off with that hussy.

What was she, 18?

No, she was our age, actually.

Oh, there you go.

Doesn't even have the decency
to act out a mid-life crisis.

Pathetic.

We had some really
good years, though.

And we had Jack.

Oh, Sam.

Good morning.

I heard you had a party last night.
You didn't invite me.

Damn! It was such a huge list
I knew that I'd forget someone.

Oh, your loss.

Scuba tanks are filled and checked.
Yacht's fueled. You're good to go.

DAVID: Thanks, Toby.

I think the viz will be
pretty good out there today.

DAVID: That's good to hear.

What's going on with you and Toby?

Would you stop it?
He's just a friend.

Are you sure you don't need
any help out there?

Oh, darling, you've gotta
go to school today

but we will see you
back here for a late lunch.

Have a good time.
Hooroo.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

We have a bite boy who
shared his bed with a spider.

He says it's a Funnel-Web,
Gus says it's a Huntsman.

Mmm, Huntsman female.

Well, Huntsman didn't appreciate
finding him in her bed.

They stared at each other.
She bit him.

Non-venomous. Guarding its young.

Well, we've got
a tourist with sunburn

who didn't wear any sunscreen.

He wanted a nice Aussie tan,
which he now has.

Ow.

We've got a type 1 diabetic

who's very worried
her insulin might have gone off.

- She's been leaving it out in the sun.
- Right.

What happened here? Airliner ditch?

OK, I will take the diabetes patient

and you can have the spider boy
and the sunburn guy.

Sunburn. Whoo!
Another career highlight.

Thanks.

Hello.

(TRANQUIL MUSIC)

I fell asleep on the beach.

Mate, you should definitely up
the strength of your sunblock.

Were you using any?

Um... no, I wasn't using any.

Of course you weren't.

- Any nausea, vomiting, chills, fever?
- No.

No? Your eyes gritty or painful?

Your corneas are susceptible.

Ultraviolet light from the sun
causes eye problems.

Long-term exposure causes cataracts.

OK, yeah.
No, I was wearing sunglasses.

Ah, yeah. I guess we can see that.

We should be thankful
for small mercies.

Lars, skin cancers account for

80% of all new cancers diagnosed
each year in Australia.

I was trying to get a tan.

Dying to get a tan.

Unfortunately, mate,
there's not a lot we can do for you.

Once you've got sunburn,
you've got sunburn.

Damage is done.

You'll just have to ride it out.

Aloe vera gel can help
soothe affected skin.

Drink a lot of water, keep hydrated
and try to stay out of the sun, hmm?

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

(REPLIES IN GERMAN)

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

What was all that?

Um, I asked him
what he does for a living.

- And?
- He's a lawyer.

Hey, Lars? We might as well do
a full check-up while you're here.

Catch anything good?

Apart from you?

No, we got some good grabs.

Reckon we've got time to scope the
wall side, then come back for lunch?

Mmm. Yeah, we can squeeze it in.

Visibility's good.

You right for air?

Absolutely.

It's probably quicker
to fin across the reef.

I'll race you.

OK.

She's been boiling her insulin
to death on the beach.

What is it with people?

They leave their will to live
on the mainland.

Well, she's young.
Her blood sugar's fine.

It's her first management mishap.

Thanks for that.

Uncle Gus has got your mum's
test results, doesn't he?

How do you do that?
Keep those things quiet?

Can you hold her for a sec?

Hey? Uh... Livvy! Liv!

I'll be back in two shakes.

I just... Livvy!

I'm not familiar with this species.

(QUIET, OMINOUS MUSIC)

Oh, David and Megan are
coming back for a late lunch

if you guys want to join us.

You're not cooking, are you?

I don't know what
everybody goes on about.

- I haven't killed anyone.
- Yet.

Two words 'prawns', 'incinerate'.

- Jack's cooking.
- Oh, sweet.

What time do you want us?

Oh, that was fantastic!

Where did we park the boat?

OK, this is probably not so good.

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

Tide's come in. I can't see the reef.

Must have dragged
the sand anchor out.

Here, pass me the locator beacon.

I don't have it with me.
Where's yours?

On the boat!

Sam's insurance company valued
that outboard at 7,000, not 2,000.

You managed to get her
a pretty good deal, didn't you?

Bean counters have got
their wires crossed, mate.

She only had two grand to spend.
That's what it cost her.

Well, if you end up behind bars,

don't expect me to
come and visit you.

I'm going to be flat out
running this place on my own.

MAN OVER RADIO: Um, yacht's name
is 'Escape'. Repeat, 'Escape'.

The anchor line's trailing
but she's drifting in deep water.

There's no-one on board.

MAN 2: Say again your last,
'Tangerine Dream'.

MAN: She's drifting and
there's no-one on board.

Yacht's name is 'Escape'.
MAN 2: Roger that.

You're three nautical miles north
of Pointer's Reef

- alongside a yacht called 'Escape'.
- Sam!

Found the boat at Pointer's Reef.

JACK: I'll key in the co-ordinates.

(ENGINES THRUM)

We'll find them.

The rate this current's going
we'll be in South America soon.

The reef's pretty busy these days.

Someone'll mosey on by.

(CHUCKLES)

MAN OVER RADIO:
This is Police Air 1.

We're setting up a command post

at the missing divers'
point of departure.

Still no signal from
a personal locator beacon?

Don't think we'll be
getting a signal.

They left their two PLBs
sitting on the yacht.

They might have
climbed onto the reef.

They could be waving
at the chopper as we speak.

Guess that's been known to happen.

We heard about your backpackers

who got their boat wedged
on the outer reef.

- Yeah, they flagged Toby down.
- That's right, Toby. Toby McGrath.

Quite the legend in some circles.

Well, at least
he's out there searching.

I'm not complaining.
We're happy to have him.

It's a bloody big search area and we
don't know their exact splash point.

Sarge, we're good.

All stations, all stations, this is
Hope Island search coordination.

We're looking for two scuba divers,
last known location Pointer's Reef.

I repeat two divers missing
at Pointer's Reef.

All vessels able to assist
in search and rescue, let us know.

(TENSE MUSIC)

What's his condition?

Is he breathing?

Oh, hell.

Where are you now?

No, no, bring him here.
You're 30 minutes by boat.

Bring him to the Hope Island Clinic.

Doc? I think my supervisor's
having a heart attack.

RICK: OK, guys. Shortness of breath,
very rapid pulse.

He's sweaty, anxious. His BP's OK.

He's complaining of
chest discomfort.

Says it feels like
his heart is racing.

It's not bloody racing,
it's pounding.

Hey...

You know how we said
if we ever get into trouble

you'd feed me
to the sharks first, right?

Well, you are my hostage now

and we've got
enough footage for today.

You won't let me go, will you?

If something happens,
you won't let me go?

Never.

Together forever, right?

We're backtracking.

Hey, we already searched this
on the first leg.

Mate, we're doing a grid sweep.
We'll go one more pass, yeah?

We could have missed them.

Could we have missed them?

Just give it to me straight.

They're not here.

(MONITOR BEEPS RAPIDLY)

It's a supraventricular tachycardia,

which means your heart rate
has gone into overdrive.

What does that mean?

It means that your heart
is beating so rapidly

that the muscle can't
relax between contractions.

It can't pump
your blood efficiently.

But the good news is, Matty,
it's not a heart attack.

It's a regular beat,
just at a faster rate.

And that's your idea of good news?
It doesn't feel regular.

It's jumping all over the shop.

Look, we don't know why it happens

but it will probably
go away on its own.

What, so you're just gonna
stand there and watch me?

Feels like a bloody jackhammer.

I know it might feel like that,
but I know how to read an ECG.

What, so you're just gonna
wait for it to go away?

Can you do a big cough for me?

(COUGHS)
Bigger, mate. Again.

(COUGHS)

Is there a 20-mil syringe there?

Are you doing Valsalva?
Mm-hm.

Alright, Matty, we want to get
your heart rate back to normal

and this might do the trick.

Thanks. What I want you to do is take
a deep breath, as deep as you can,

and blow as hard as you can
until the plunger moves, alright?

That's it. Good.
FREYA: Keep going, keep going.

RICK: Keep going, mate. Harder.

Really push the
plunger out of the end.

OLIVIA: Right, that's a good job.
Relax. Relax.

Am I doing something wrong?

It still feels just the same.

Don't worry, mate, these things can
take a few goes to get on top of.

Uh, try it again, Liv. Freya?

Get the cops to contact his wife,
and we better let Sam know.

OK.

FREYA: The Valsalva technique
wasn't effective.

And can Rick find
any other logical reason

for such an abnormally fast
heart rate?

No. The patient doesn't smoke.

Has two coffees a day,
drinks moderately,

has got no family history
of heart disease,

isn't on any medications
and it's not a panic attack.

Sam, his at-rest heartbeat
is still at 200 beats per minute.

Yeah, OK, that is way too fast.

I've gotta refuel,
so we need to head in anyway.

Freya, just tell Rick
to keep doing what he's doing.

We're heading back in.
OK, understood, Sam.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I'm so sorry about the baby stuff.

I do want to have your child.

I do.

You know why I fell in love
with you in the first place?

No.

Well, it wasn't for your timing.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, I wasn't suggesting
making a baby right now.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

It's a date.

Yeah.

You cannot put him in a chopper
in his current state.

And you can't leave him
like that either.

I was hoping
it would resolve itself.

What if it doesn't?

Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy?

We'll cross that bridge
when we get to it.

No. You have to think about it now.

It is a prolonged SVT

and this is not a cushy hospital
with cardiologists on tap.

Adenosine?

Do you want me to use adenosine?

No way, Sam. Too risky.

You said yourself
we don't have hospital support.

It's something that
I've only ever used once.

Have you used it?

No. But I've seen it used.

OK.

If he stays awake,
if he keeps talking,

we'll give it one hour
to resolve itself.

Sam, you wanted my opinion. Have you
even listened to a word I've said?

An hour's not waiting.
An hour doesn't count.

He's my patient.

It's my clinic.

It's alright, sweetheart.

(GROANS) Come on!

- Hey-hey, Sammy.
- Hey.

Take a break.
Have something to eat. Here you go.

Thanks, Sonny.
I don't think that I could.

Ta.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to get this screen shot of
a dehydration chart for the sergeant.

They've been out there a long time
without any fresh water.

Yeah, well, Toby'll find them.

He'll be joining
the main search party shortly.

Yeah, I know.

You know, um, David and Megan are...

They're my oldest friends.
Did you know that?

Yeah. I did know that.

When Andrew and I split up, you know,
a lot of our friends drifted away

or they became his friends.

But Megan and David,
they stuck by me.

Mmm, yeah, she's a good egg.

I like her. She's funny.

Yeah.

She took the break-up really hard.

And so did David. David was actually
the one who introduced me to Andrew.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

That I did not know.

Mmm. It was a blind date.

She told me that he was
a bit of a tosser.

But I met him and I thought
that he was really clever.

Funny.

And I fell for him.

And the rest,
as they say, is history.

Look, if... if you hold that down
and press that...

Voila!

How did you know how to do that?

BOTH: Jack.

(LAUGHS)

I can't do anything else.

He's not very comfortable.

It'll pass.

We just don't know when.

Sam said we should give him...

Freya!

Just watch him, please.

You able to go out again tonight?
Yep, just came in to refuel.

I don't want you
going back out there.

Jack, you eaten anything?
I don't feel like it.

Come on, then. Come here.

When you find Megan and David,
just tell them that I love them

and that they're grounded.

Yeah, it's another sweep.

What the heck -
it's easy to miss small targets.

You sure you don't want
to revise this about now?

Mate, we did that grid
this afternoon. They weren't there.

And that one as well.
They weren't there either.

This one we did twice.

Mate, you were in the navy.
You know how to follow orders.

Why don't you stick with the plan?

We've found a lot of
missing people that way.

Toby, can I have a word?

Now, I know this is going to
seem a bit out there,

but I've been watching
all their footage.

Doesn't this look like
an underwater wall to you?

Yeah. So what?

On every one of their docos

Megan and David shot
the shallow side of the reef first,

then the wall side.

They had a system.

Go on. I've checked it
on your nav plotter

and Pointer's Reef
doesn't have a wall.

They were never at Pointer's Reef
because that is a shallow reef.

See, the videos show the same thing.

David chooses
specific types of reefs.

Reefs with walls? Yep.
They film walls.

It's their modus operandi.

You've been watching
a lot of cop shows, son.

WOMAN: We factored all the reefs
around Pointer's

into our calculations.

Divers would still have drifted
along the track we're searching.

And you've searched half of them?

Yeah, we have, but if Megan and David
were on the wall side

they could have been swept
by a downswell or an upswell

and got swept a lot further
out to sea.

- Way further than we looked.
- Yeah.

You've been searching
the wrong reefs.

We're looking in the wrong place.

If you feel your filmmaking friends
did have a modus operandi

maybe that should have included
taking a locator beacon with them.

Your coordinates.
I suggest you get underway.

Shit!
What's wrong?

Shit!
Oi!

It's alright.

Something brushed against me.

(GROANS) It's alright.

Shh.

It was probably a turtle.
No! It was big.

It banged into me. Shit!

(SOBS)

It's OK. Oh, please don't
let it be a shark.

Please don't let me
be eaten by a shark.

Please!

Please!

I reckon the current's
taking us north.

How far could they have drifted?

Well, let's find out.

(STARTS ENGINE)

Do you think they're still alive?

No idea.

I've never, uh, been lost.

Mum left me in a supermarket once.

She forgot me.
And I thought that was scary.

I can't imagine what it's like
for Megan and David.

It's bloody terrifying.

It happened to you?

Yeah.

Once. Ages ago.

Where?

Oh, just a little place on
the other side of the world, mate.

Whereabouts on
the other side of the world?

It's a big planet.

The Persian Gulf.

If you must know.

It was when I was
a navy clearance diver.

Well, mate, let's see if this
expensive gear of mine works, hey?

You keep your eye on that screen.

Hey!

Stay awake. Don't go to sleep.

OK? Stay with me.

Oh, come on. That's it.

Come on.

Hey, hey, stay awake. Shh.

Hold on. Put your arms around me.

Put your arms...

We can't leave it any longer.

OK.

Matty, your heart rate is
stuck at 200 beats a minute.

We don't think that
it's anything more than

an electrical glitch with your heart.

The rest of you is perfectly fine.

It doesn't feel fine.
This pounding is sending me crazy.

Yeah.

Look, what we want to do,
Matty, is short-circuit your heart.

Reset it, so everything
returns back to normal.

Say that again.

We give you a drug called adenosine

and it stops your heart
for half a second.

It stops my heart?
That sounds serious.

RICK: It is.

A procedure like this doesn't
come without its risks because...

well, we would be
stopping your heart.

I'll die?

No, because in the rare instance
of that happening,

we would resuscitate you.

What? You want to jump-start me?

Can't you do something else?

It's a fast procedure
and it will stop the pounding.

SAM: Well, basically
there are two options here.

Either one of them carries a risk.

We either put your heart
on pause for half a second

with the chance of something bad
happening being relatively low.

Or we do nothing,
your heart gets worse.

The risks they get bigger.

OK, let's do it.

SAM: OK, Matty, this is
going to happen quickly.

Your heart will stop for one beat.

It's going to be over
before you know it, OK?

You may experience a feeling
of apprehension or fear,

but try not to worry about that
because that's actually

the drug working for us. It already
feels like the end of the world.

SAM: You just tell me
when you're ready.

OK.

Ahh, no!

(GROANS) This sucks!

(MONITOR DRONES)
(PANTS)

That s... (SIGHS)

Normal sinus rhythm.

OK.

FREYA: Welcome back.

That was really, really weird.

SAM: That's good. Well done.

Toby. Toby, there's
a heat signature!

It's them! It's got to be them!

Let's have a look.

We're here!

BOTH: Here!

MEGAN: Here!

DAVID: Here!

(JACK OVER RADIO) 'Medusa' to Hope
Island Clinic. We have found them.

I repeat we have found them.

What? Say that again,
you're breaking up.

I said we've found David and Megan.

They're cold, they're a little wet,

but they're alright,
and we're coming home.

Whoo-hoo!

Thank you!

We were both shark food out there.

And we'd still be out there
if it wasn't for this young man.

Well done, mate.

Thanks.

What?

You took off without telling me.

Oh... we were in a hurry, Mum.

Sorry, Mum.

If I'd have had a girl
I'd never need to ask for this.

Maybe we can make you one.

Yeah?

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

Toby, wait up!

Um...

Thank you for bringing them
home safely.

I just did what anyone else would.

I don't want you to think that
I don't appreciate what you did.

Oh, I think I'm clear on that.

I am really proud of Jack.

I just wish that you'd told me
that you were taking him back out.

Well, we were
a bit pressed for time.

Well, what if you'd got out there and
you'd found them and it was too late?

Well, Jack can handle himself.

Please don't fob this off.
It is so frustrating.

You never tell me anything.

You paid seven thousand
and something dollars cash,

God knows why you paid cash,
I'm not even gonna go there.

So, you spent all of this money on
my motor, never said a word to me.

You knew that I only had $2,000.

So now I owe you thousands of
dollars, which I don't have.

I do intend to pay you back,
by the way.

And now I'm saddled with some debt
that I never asked for

all because you went
behind my back...

Yeah, run away, why don't you?

Add that to my list of crimes.

Goodnight!

'Night!
