Bali 2002 (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

From the Ashes

1
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
WOMAN: When I first
started here,
we used to send skin
to Melbourne to grow.
21 days it took.
Patients don't have 21 days.
So Marie Stoner and I started
working on the cell regrowths
till we got it down to 10 days,
then five, then three.
Now it's 30 minutes.
- MAN: This is skin?
- Skin cells.
They're mine, actually.
- Fiona, this won't work.
- Oh, we know it works.
We spray it on,
we get perfect coverage
around corners and folds,
hardly any scarring.
It'll never replace
skin grafts.
It might in many cases.
Look, just think of it,
we won't have to damage
an uninjured part of a patient's
body to treat their burns.
It's fast, it's effective.
Look, take some kits.
Just try it.
You want me
to just take your word for it?
For now.
(SIGHS)
(LAIDBACK MUSIC)
(LIVELY CHATTER)
(LAIDBACK MUSIC CONTINUES)
(WAVE RUMBLES)
There's a bit of
an offshore wind building.
Why don't we grab another one?
Yeah. Go for it.
I think we're done.
Come on, you'll miss out on
the Bali barrel.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- No, we'll head back into town.
Yeah, OK. What was your names?
I'm Jono.
- It's Hanabeth and Marc.
- Marc.
Hanabeth, Marc, hi. I'll see
you at the Sari Club, yeah?
HANABETH: Yeah,
see you tonight.
- MARC: See ya.
- JONO: See ya.
(DANCE MUSIC)
If you want to change dollar
for rupiah you come to me, OK?
Gede. Give you best price.
(DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES)
Hey, can we get just two beers,
please?
Thank you.
Are you guys doing shots?
No, Ali is.
- That's yours, mate.
- That's yours.
There's two in front of you.
How is one of them not yours?
- Disgusting.
- Disgusting.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Thanks, mate.
- Thank you.
Sorry. Excuse me, can we just
get one more, please?
- One more?
- Yeah. Thank you.
SONG: Tonight
We'll make it right
So why don't we
just dance ♪
Cheers.

Everybody, everybody
-Absolutely everybody
-Everybody
Everybody needs
a little loving ♪
Oh, how was the barrel?
Yeah, it was good. I was in the
barrel for, like, at least 20m.
- (GASPS) Really?
- You should've been there.
Oh, next time.
I'm gonna get it
Everybody needs a hand to hold
Someone to cling to

I'm no different
I am just the same
A player in the game

- Alright.

MAN: Go! Go!
Hospital! Hospital! Go!
Go! Get us the fuck outta here!
MAN: Arrgh! Fuck!
(URGENT CHATTER)
Hello, excuse me, we need some
help moving a patient, please.
- WOMAN: Yeah, yeah. OK.
- Thank you.
Can you get paper and pen
for patient notes?
- OK.
- And fluids urgently, and blood.
- Can you get blood?
- Yes.
- And get a surgeon?
- Yes.
Nurse, all the burns patients
need to be hydrated
and wounds cleaned,
do you understand?
- Yeah.
- OK.
POLLY: James. James.
- Jesus Christ.
- It's so good to see you!
He's swelling really badly,
you understand?
If we don't cut now,
he'll lose his limbs.
He's swelling - badly swelling.
Uh, we need to cut.
Can you get me scalpels?
Lots of scalpels
and gloves, OK?
Excuse me, have you seen
my boyfriend? His name is Marc.
- Have you seen him?
- I haven't. I'm sorry.
I'll keep a look-out
for him, OK?
They've run out of anaesthetic,
analgesia, oxygen.
OK, just, uh, share the oxygen
between patients.
What's your name, mate?
- It's Jono.
- Jono.
Help Danni with her back.
She's in a lot of pain.
Danni, I promise I'll get to you
next, OK? Alright, thank you.
Jono, your burns
are acting like a rubber band
cutting off your blood supply,
so I need to cut into them now.
- Alright?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I don't have any painkillers
to block the pain, OK?
So you just need to take
a deep breath for me.
- OK.
- Alright?
JONO: Yep.
This will hurt.
God! Fuck!
-What the fuck are you doing?
People are dying in here.
Their families can't see them
like this! Don't!
OK! No!
One more.
(GROANS)
(PANTS)
Lunch is up.
If anyone's still hungry, you
can make yourselves a sandwich.
- We better get a move on.
- (PHONE RINGS)
Let it go to message bank.
Vij!
Thought you were on holiday.
There's been a catastrophic
explosion in Bali.
Multiple serious burns.
What? Um, Tony, put the news on.
The hospital here
can't cope with the numbers
or the severity.
- (BOY CHATTERS)
- Dan, one sec.
TV REPORTER: ..at the hospital
was indescribable,
barely copes
at the best of times.
With scores of
injured Australians,
the scene was pandemonium.
MAN ON TV: Chaos. Complete
chaos. It's a nightmare
How bad are the burns?
Like, five to 95%
with everything in between.
The consul's already spoken
to Canberra
and recommended evacuation.
It's bedlam here, Fiona.
- Right.
- REPORTER: What's your injuries?
OK, well, listen,
do what you can.
We'll get prepping at our end.
- Good luck, Vij.
- (HANGS UP)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (SIGHS)
Well, um, we can't make
the wedding.
- That's a relief.
- (FIONA HALF-LAUGHS)
Can you drop your sister
at the skating rink?
I've got triathlon training
for the final.
You'll be late, I'm afraid.
I've gotta go
It's OK, I'll drive you both.
- Here, swap.
- Oh. Thanks, darl.
Well, if it's as bad
as Vij says,
we're gonna need to run
the four theatres concurrently.
- (PHONE RINGS)
- OK.
Fiona Wood.
Yes, of course.
Minister.
Yes, I'm confident
we'll be ready at our end.
We're prepping as we speak.
Do you have any idea
the numbers we can expect?
Copy.
You look like you've got
a couple of burns there, mate.
How are you doing?
Oh, no, good.
It's about 50% of my body,
but I just feel a bit swollen
at the moment, that's all.
Minister, there's a fellow there
on the TV telling everyone
he's got burns to over 50%
of his body and he's OK.
Yeah, well, if you don't get him
out of there pretty soon,
he won't be OK.
He'll be dead.
It does appear to have been
a terrorist attack.
Can I just say, on behalf of
all the Australian people,
how sad we are
that the pursuit
of a legitimate, simple
overseas holiday
has once again been
brutally interrupted
by this violent,
mindless act of terrorism.
(GROANS) Mmm.
Hey, mate,
how am I looking here?
Great.
How do I look?
You look like shit
at the best of times.
Where's Nicole?
They took her to the theatre.
- No, that was hours ago.
- Maybe she's in post-op.
- Ask the surgeon.
- I'll get them ready for evac.
I'll number the serious patients
1 to 5. Ones go out first, OK?
Thank you.
- WOMAN: I need help, please.
- Yeah.
Jason, I'll take you into
the small room now, OK, mate?
Wait, why's that?
The shrapnel wound in your calf
looks really bad
and your burns look
really serious.
You're gonna need
constant fluids.
Priya will make sure
you get them, OK?
You, my friend,
are walking wounded.
You'll have to get
a commercial flight back.
It's not possible -
she's too badly burnt.
Priya, Priya, make sure
Jason's ready for a flight.
Hey, the Australian military
are evacuating patients.
(ALL TALK AT ONCE)
Calm down. Calm down.
Can we have a bit of silence?
SILENCE!
OK, I'm gonna go around
and give everybody a number,
alright?
The most urgent cases will get
flown by Hercules to Darwin
and then to all other airports
around Australia.
Alright? OK.
Dr Dewi, make sure the nurses
know to keep fluids up -
the patients must be ready
to fly.
- OK.
- Alright?
Write the numbers on the skin -
the nurses change their sheets.
- Yeah.
- WOMAN: Dr V.
There's no Nicole in post-op.
They told me to check
the morgue.
Get a volunteer to go with you.
What am I going to tell
her parents?
I'm so sorry.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
Polly, there are rescue flights.
You've gotta get on one.
She is getting on one, but
she needs her British passport.
Not without my husband.
I won't go without my husband.
Just get to the airport, OK?
I'll head to the hotel,
get your passport and Dan's,
get you both on a flight.
Yes, just find him, James.
OK, all number ones go to
the ambulance when we arrive.
All other numbers must wait.
Wait. (COUGHS)
Can't we go together?
(COUGHS)
MAN ON RADIO: Flight control,
flight control.
(INDISTINCT RADIO COMMUNICATION)
(CONTROL BEEPS)
We're gonna have to
hit the ground running.
From all reports,
it's it's pretty bad.
The numbers of dead and dying
keeps growing
and most are Australian.
Early reports suggest
the damage was caused by a bomb,
so we wanna know whose it was,
how it was made and where,
we wanna know if Australia
was deliberately targeted
or if it was
an unfortunate coincidence.
The Indonesians OK with that?
It's under negotiation.
I'm gonna need
a secure forensic lab,
preferably under my control.
I'm happy to build my own
Give me a list of what you need,
it'll be on the next plane.
To be clear, though, this is
an Indonesian investigation,
alright, so we're just gonna
have to work with them.
WOMAN: With them or for them?
With, I hope.
So no authority, no power.
How the hell are we supposed to
get this job done, Graham?
We tread carefully at all times.
Yeah, I know, Dad.
Really, I'm fine.
-No, I'm OK.
- Dad, it's Dad, it's Nicole.
- (SIRENS BLARE)
Alright, all these patients
are high priority, OK,
so into the ambulances and
straight to the airport, please.
Thank you.
WOMAN: Nat. Nat.
Oh! Dad, they found her.
Hey! Hey, I thought
I'd lost you.
The nurse said
I was called Michelle.
(LAUGHS)
But then I wasn't sure
Don't you leave me again, OK?
Dr Vij, please,
I need to travel with her.
Not sure
if that's gonna be possible.
Hey, I'm right here.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here.
I'll be right here, Nic.
- Mmm.
- OK?
- Mmm.
- Hey, let's get you home.
(SOFT CHATTER)
Alright, listen up, folks.
I need you to cancel your lives
for the next few weeks.
We're getting the influx
of wounded patients from Bali
tomorrow,
and some of the worst burns.
We will be working 24/7.
(SIGHS) We're gonna need
more beds.
Clear the coronary wards
and the ICU.
Discharge anyone you can, move
patients to other hospitals.
Now, these beds must be ready
when they arrive tomorrow.
They can't wait.
We're not gonna be able to
triage that many here.
What do you suggest, Joy?
Set up a triage in ED,
assess them there?
- That sounds good. Do it.
- Yeah.
I'll decide which patients
go straight to burns,
which to ICU
for ventilation and support,
which to theatre
for cleaning and debriding.
They're gonna give us
the four theatres exclusively?
Yes.
Now, listen, we're 20 hours down
and these patients
haven't even been evacuated yet,
so infection will be setting in.
We work in teams. Yeah?
Each patient will have
a physician, a general surgeon,
a plastic surgeon, anaesthetist
and specialist nurses.
And we'll be using Cellspray.
Yes.
We'll need every tool we have.
So, yeah, we use the spray.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SHOUTING AND CHATTERING)
She told me that she's allergic
to penicillin, OK?
- VIJ: OK. Thank you.
- WOMAN: Resus.
- Quick, I'm losing her.
- Coming.
Alright.
I know the poor bastards
aren't gonna be up to it,
but every single person
leaving Denpasar,
whether in a Hercules
or a commercial flight,
they're gonna have to get us
a witness statement.
At least get us
- (PHONE RINGS)
- ..names and contact details.
- Graham.
- Alright.
This is worse than
anything you're thinking.
And the next Hercules
has to bring
lots more medical supplies.
Can you tell him we need blood?
We need lots of blood.
Also, how many can they take?
'Cause we have, like,
50 patients
that are critical right now.
Just make sure it's Australians
on the first flight out.
After that,
it's Commonwealth nations.
Look, this is a shit show. We'll
help everyone who needs it.
Alright, I understand. Call me
if you need anything else.
Alright, the first 25
who have the priority go.
And anyone who's not gonna make
it, they'll just have to wait.
- There will be more aircraft.
- OK. Alright.
Excuse me. Sorry.
This is, um, Polly Miller.
She's British.
If you could take her, please.
Alright, are you
her husband, mate?
No, he's, um he's missing.
Nine of our party are missing.
- Alright, what's your name?
- James.
James, I'm Graham.
- Lovely to meet you.
- Hi, Graham.
It'd help a lot
if you could fill this, please.
- Sure, yep. Anything to help.
- VIJ: Thanks, James.
Have any of the survivors
talked about what happened?
Yeah, this man here. Um, Gusti.
He's an Indonesian man.
He was outside the Sari Club.
He said he saw two men on bikes
pick up a third man
just before the blast.
I guess he thought
it was related somehow.
Pak.
Pak?
No, he's in bad shape.
Uh, Jason can talk.
He's, um he was at Paddy's.
- Jase.
- JASON: Yeah.
- GRAHAM: Hello, mate.
- Hey, mate.
- Um
- Yeah?
Yeah, we were drinking
at the bar at Paddy's
and felt a wave of heat,
and then force of the blast
knocked me over.
- I couldn't see.
- Yeah.
People tried to run out
to escape,
and then, um, there was
a second blast detonated.
- NATALIE: She's claustrophobic.
- Pretty sure that was outside.
- Hey, mate. Excuse me.
- I don't need fluids
Mate, hey, can you let
the lady go with her friend?
I'm not that bad. I can wait.
Thank you.
There was a second bomb,
timed for maximum impact.
Vij.
We lost her.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
I wanna get off.
- I can't handle enclosed spaces.
- I'm right here.
- Right here. We're going home.
- VIJ: Try and relax.
Pethidine will make you sleepy.
I should've gone to Tassie
for my holiday.
- (NATALIE CHUCKLES)
- Nothing ever happens there.
We'll do that next time.
Dan.
(INHALES)
(EXHALES)
(DANNI WHIMPERS)
Go to sleep. Go to sleep, Danni.
It's gonna be alright.
We're going home.
MAN ON RADIO: Flight HH-30,
you are clear for take-off
on 1-8-12.
(MAN ON RADIO
SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)
(ENGINE NOISE BUILDS)
People are trampling
over everything.
Can we at least cordon off the
central area and map it out?
Well, we're guests here until
we're invited to be otherwise.
So you're heading up
the investigation?
- Excellent.
- The military want it of course.
So, nobody's taken
responsibility yet?
No.
The press are talking of
al-Qaeda.
And the government has followed.
But you're not sure?
Nothing is signed yet, Graham.
Your team must wait.
Many people don't want foreign
security on Indonesian soil.
GRAHAM: David.
Pak.
Morgue inside, full.
How many how many bodies?
Last count, 160.
- But there will be more.
- GRAHAM: OK.
You have to get
this place secure.
When your government and mine
agree on how things will be,
yes, we can do that.
- You know how it is here.
- I do.
But you also know
that this can't wait.
We've got body parts, we've got
no no labels, no names.
You know there's gonna be grief,
there's gonna be anger.
We we have a DVI team.
How about they get started
at least, you know, interviewing
families and getting DNA?
OK.
Australia will handle
foreign nationals
and we will deal with
the Indonesians.
He ran the surf shop.
A friend?
I'll wait for the DVI team.
TONY: You're gonna use
Cellspray?
FIONA: I've offered kits
to the other units.
- Well, don't expect gratitude.
- No. (CHUCKLES)
They've made it clear
they think you're deluded.
I know.
Are you sure about this?
The whole world
will be watching.
It's not the time
for crash or crash through.
Well, I don't care
what people think.
I've got 29 patients arriving.
Some of them have got burns
to over 95% of their bodies.
I need a lot of skin.
- Without the kits
- Some will die.
- I know.
- Yeah.
That's not the only problem.
I mean, these patients
are gonna need immediate care.
I don't have
enough plastic surgeons.
- Is a general surgeon any use?
- Yeah.
Cook, father, empathetic, sure.
Come on, you've got your own
patients to look after.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
WOMAN: They found someone
wearing orange shorts.
But does that mean it's him?
If it is Marc
Look, maybe it's better
if you don't go in.
I don't want to remember him
like that.
I'll go.
GRAHAM: Oh, we can't have
the relatives seeing this.
- I'll post someone out front.
- Yeah.
I mean, the volunteers
are well meaning,
but the body parts
are all mixed up
and none of them are labelled
where they were.
So (SIGHS) ..you're gonna
have to start over
..and reassemble body parts.
- This is gonna take weeks.
- Yep.
We need refrigerator units
asap.
Yeah. I'll speak to the ADF.
It's Marc, H. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Oh
- Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
No.
No! (SOBS)
- (SOBS)
- It's OK.
(TROUBLING MUSIC)
OK, make sure you check her
fluids every hour properly.
Squeeze the bag
if it doesn't go in -
she's got burns
all over her back and arms.
- Careful.
- MAN: Yeah.
Her back! (COUGHS) Her back!
Her back.
- (COUGHS)
- VIJ: Airways. Airways, quick.
Make sure his fluids
are checked every hour, alright?
You'll be good, mate.
You'll be alright.
(SIREN WAILS)
FIONA: Remember, these patients
are wounded and burnt.
We treat the wounds first
and cover the burns
as quickly as possible -
our enemy's infection.
Now, Joy, I want you
to start taking skin
as soon as they have a bed,
yeah?
Marie, your teams
start creating supply
Where are you
lazy slackers, hey?
You know they call you
the shit magnet?
You go away for one day and you
come back with 29 burn patients.
28 actually.
A man died en route.
Go get a shower,
a clean set of clothes,
then do the handover.
Vij, thank God you were there.
(SIGHS)
He's got burns
to about 72% of his body.
- Right.
- He's 18.
BP and temp both low.
Ah, Vij.
- VIJ: Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, Jono here has
third-degree burns on his leg,
fourth-degree on his feet.
His chest burns are complicated
by glass and shrapnel wounding.
FIONA: Right,
surgical should see him first.
- Theatre 1.
- Yep.
When the surgeons are done,
send him to ICU.
If they can keep
his kidneys functioning,
he might have a chance.
Smell's not a good sign.
It's been 30 hours.
Infection's definitely
setting in.
If they're all like this,
we've got a problem.
Mmm. Let's slow it down.
Who's this?
This is Sri. She's Balinese.
Missile injuries
to her limbs and torso,
airway burns, and fractures.
- Burns to 65%.
- Have we any interpreters?
Yeah, your team,
assess and treat Sri
for the missile injuries, yeah?
This is Danni Foster.
Burns to about 58% of her body.
Shrapnel wounding in her thigh
as well.
How old are you, Danni?
- Uh, 18.
- OK.
We're gonna look after you,
yeah?
Flight was rough - burns
all over her back, arms, legs.
Right, get her prepped
for theatre.
We'll take the shrapnel out
and then we'll start her grafts
and the Cellspray.
Can you start
her cell regrowth now?
- Fiona, we're using Cellspray?
- Yes.
They will need
all the help they can get.
(TENSE MUSIC)
DAVID: Ground zero.
When the big bomb was detonated,
this is where
the blast wave started.
Deep. About a metre.
Yeah, well, needless to say
the water's destroyed
vital evidence.
Who's that guy?
That's Made Maja, my bodyguard.
- Who assigned him?
- GRAHAM: No idea.
- He's a plain-clothes cop.
- MAN: Hey!
You can't be here.
Graham Ashton. AFP.
I know who you are.
But this is not allowed.
Well, pray it doesn't rain.
Pray? This crime scene's
deteriorating by the minute.
David, in my experience
over here,
it really pays to know
when you can push
and when to back off.
Alright, confident humility.
(MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY)
FIONA: Jono?
Jono.
While you were sedated,
you went into theatre.
The surgeons took the shrapnel
and the glass out.
That breathing thing's gone.
That's a relief.
Yeah. So now we wanna
look at your burns.
We're gonna have to take
a squiz at your feet.
Doesn't look that good
but I heal easy.
Spend most of my time
in the ocean,
so surf to heal, right?
If we're gonna get you back in
the surf, we need to move fast.
- JOY: Clean up what I can.
- Give him pethidine.
We need to schedule
the skin grafts.
- Jono.
- Uh, I'm sorry.
You mustn't touch him. Jono
must be kept totally sterile.
- Are you Mum?
- Uh, yes.
Dr Fiona Wood.
It's good to see you, Mum.
Not as good as it is to see you.
Um, Dr Wood.
My son's gonna be OK, right?
Look, he's young and he's fit.
That's something.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Come on, Nic.
You've come so far.
You've gotta pull through now.
No, I'm not using Cellspray.
Because patients
who've gone through Bali
shouldn't be subjected
to an experiment.
Polly, I'm here, love.
Do you get the feeling
the terrorists are out there
plotting their next attack
somewhere?
My boss is talking to your boss.
It's been agreed.
So what precisely
are we waiting for?
- Their signatures.
- OK.
While we're waiting for them
to find their pens,
is there anything we can do?
You know, can can we at least
have the freedom to look around?
Some in Indonesia
feel that
Australians attracted this -
coming here, getting drunk,
showing no respect.
And there are some in Australia
who worry
that your government's
turned a blind eye
to the rise of terrorism.
The Sari Club would only let in
white-skinned tourists.
Did you know?
Balinese, Indonesians
were banned.
That's why it was a target.
No doubt.
Yeah.
We have the best detectives
in Indonesia working on it.
And we have technology
that can speed things up.
What have you got so far?
OK.
Um, there was a Balinese victim
being shipped to Australia
who said that he saw
two men on a motorbike
picking up a third man just
before the bomb was detonated.
- Can I talk to this witness?
- He died.
I have something similar
from another witness.
The bike's tail-lights were out.
It could be significant.
We'll start from here.
Jono's infection
is looking pretty bad.
Double the dose of antibiotics.
But if he doesn't improve,
I can't see a choice. Can you?
(CHUCKLES)
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're looking good.
I'm a patchwork -
skin grafts, spray-on skin.
Dr Wood thinks
I won't have too many scars.
(CHUCKLES)
I have to get my blood flowing.
Do you wanna
do you wanna go for a walk?
No.
No, my legs are stuffed.
They're thinking of
doing the big chop.
What, both of them?
(WHISPERS) Yeah.
Do you reckon I'll be able to
surf without legs?
- You? Sure.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
I mean, why not?
You can do anything.
Come and stay with me in Alice.
I mean, we have landsailing.
(CHUCKLES) That's about it.
Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.
I keep having these,
like, nightmares.
But then I wake up
and I'm grateful
'cause, you know, I got a
I got a second chance.
Do you reckon
your, um, friends got out?
No.
I'm sorry.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Hello.
Danni
..could you give us a moment?
Yeah.
Jono, we need to put you
in a drug-induced coma.
Why?
It'll allow your energy
to go into healing.
OK. And
And if I don't do it?
The infection
will overwhelm you.
This way, we give your body the
maximum chance to do its work.
You know how we talked about
the possibility of amputation,
that is becoming more likely,
I'm afraid.
JONO: Mm.
We just have to prioritise
your life, Jono.
FIONA: Yeah.
(INHALES)
OK.
And if I don't
come out of this coma,
this is it.
- Don't think about that now.
- No, this is it.
You don't have to
think about that now.
- (WHISPERS) OK.
- FIONA: Hmm?
So, if it has to be done, yeah.
When will it be done?
Now.
Would you like to talk
to your mum first?
- OK. Yeah.
- Yeah.
You're a strong boy, Jono.
You have to believe.
Yeah.
(FIONA WHISPERS) I know.
(WISTFUL MUSIC)
TONY: You need to rest.
Put your head down
just for an hour.
No, I've gotta get back.
- Oh, thank you.
- That's alright.
- Look at what I did here.
- Look at your sexy salad.
Mmm.
I won't make Tom's triathlon
tomorrow.
That's alright. He knows that.
Will you video it for me?
Mm-hm.
- Mmm!
- You want some cheese?
Thank you.
Guys, have a listen to this.
(MAN IN RECORDING
SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
So, this came through
from Al Jazeera news
about an hour ago.
The US authorities
seem to think it's authentic.
Have you got the transcript
there?
(MAN IN RECORDING
SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(READS) "The Bali bombings
were in retaliation
"for the support of the US
in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"You will be killed
just as you kill.
"And you will be bombed
as you bomb.
"Expect more
that will distress you."
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
(DOOR OPENS)
FIONA: Jackie,
listen, I've got
some very bad news, I'm afraid.
Jono's body's shut down.
There's nothing more we can do.
I'm so sorry.
We can't save him.
You can bring in family
to say goodbye
before any other decisions
have to be made.
Um
We don't have any family
here in Perth.
Can I have five minutes alone
with him?
Of course.
(MONITOR BEEPS SLOWLY)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Jono.
(SNIFFLES)
It's OK.
I love you.
(LOW, GRIM MUSIC)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Have you read this?
Outrageous.
We've got
the most badly injured patients
and they're recovering
in record time,
other hospitals are begging us
to take their patients,
and this is what they say.
Yeah, I saw it this morning.
What?
- What?
- Who says what?
They're quoting east coast
burns specialists saying
that it was unethical to use
the skin spray on Bali patients.
Oh.
Also that you gain financial
profit every time we use it.
Now, those bastards know
that any profits we make
we plough back into research.
Should I call the reporters
to set it straight?
No. I've got work to do.
Listen, I wanna go over
Jono's records,
see if there's anything
we could've done differently.
VIJ: Yep.
(STIRRING MUSIC)
New bike. Left here
the night of the bombings.
Tail-lights
have been tampered with.
They might have prayed here.
We could ask around inside,
see if anyone knows
who left it here.
Respectfully.
