Rescue Special Ops (2009) s01e11 Episode Script

Episode 11

Everything looks lovely.
- You look gorgeous.
- Thank you, darling.
Shall we take a photo in the balloon now? MAN: Yes, absolutely.
- Can you hold them for me? - Yeah.
- I'll come over in a minute.
- OK.
I think we can get a few shots before the celebrant arrives.
Thank you very much.
- Last chance to get out of it.
- Aww, are you kidding, mate? Look at her.
- Is that the right angle? MAN: Yeah, that's perfect.
(PHONE PLAYS 'HERE COMES THE BRIDE') Could you just hang on a minute? Hello? Yes? I don't Is that is that supposed to happen? - No! - Adam! Help! Candice! Stay put! Don't touch anything! Don't jump! ADAM! Oh, my gosh! (GASPS) Let go of the rope, mate! Let go of the rope! - Just stay there.
It's alright.
- HOLD ON! Don't worry, don't stress.
Take it from me, it's alright.
- No, let go of the rope.
Seriously.
- Hold on! - Stay there.
It's alright, eh? - Do not touch anything! Hold on! Oh, my God! MAN: Go, guys! Go! Grab him! (LAUGHS) Adam, you're not gonna make it! It's alright.
I'll climb up, OK? It's OK.
Don't worry.
Candice! I'm slipping.
I'm losing my grip! (SCREAMING) (GROANS) (WEAKLY) Candice! Candice! SONG: # Mmm, mmm, mmm Real dark and dirty ♪ Gonna get a little dirty, yeah ♪ I'm gonna get a little Dirty, yeah Gonna get a little dirty.
- What've we got? VINCE: (ON RADIO) Slight detour.
Training weekend will have to wait.
You've got a blushing bride up in an air balloon and her injured groom on the ground.
I'm clearing air space now.
Shouldn't be a big job.
Wind-speed's low, no gusts.
She can't have gone far.
Yeah, yeah.
Alright.
See what the drama is over there.
Alright, excuse us.
Let us through, please.
Stand back.
My knee! - What's your name? - Adam.
I'm gonna have to cut through your trousers, Adam.
- Hey?! - I have to cut through your trousers.
- Yeah.
That's alright.
- Do you know what day it is, Adam? Supposed to be the happiest day of my life.
Someone untied the ropes.
They couldn't have come undone.
We can deal with that later.
First of all, we have to get the balloon down.
Which way did it go? It swung around out that way 20 minutes ago.
Travelling at 10 knots.
20 minutes that's 5 k.
Some of the guys went out after it the best man, the bridesmaid in a car.
- They're a bit tipsy.
- OK.
Have you got their numbers? They might be able to see the balloon.
Er, that's the best man.
That's the bridesmaid.
We've been trying to call them.
No answer.
Hello.
Hello.
Can you pick up? - Can you pick up? Can you hear me? - There's a radio on the balloon? Yeah.
I've been trying to reach her nothing.
- Hello! Hello! Can you hear me? - That's OK.
Just give me the radio.
Now, what's her name? - Miss Campbell.
- Candice.
Hello, Candice.
My name's Dean.
I'm here to help you.
Candice, if you can hear me, just pick up the radio, push the button on the side and say something, say anything.
Say hi.
CANDICE: (ON RADIO) Hello! - Got her.
Let's go.
Boys.
We're hitting the road.
Let's go.
- I've got to go with them.
- No.
Your arm is broken and this knee I wanna be there when they bring her down.
The only place you're going is hospital.
I'm not going anywhere not till I see Candice.
Please! Look, I can patch you up but you need to be monitored, OK? There could be a fracture I can't see.
DEAN: (ON RADIO) Right, Jordan, you guys take the bush track.
We'll stay with the vineyards.
Keep your channel open.
Over.
Copy that, Dean.
Over.
Candice, I need your help with this.
(CANDICE CRIES) I just want to get down.
It keeps going up and up.
Candice, calm down.
I'm gonna die, aren't I? Candice, listen to me.
The balloon is not gonna keep going up.
It is! I can feel it.
Everything down there's getting smaller and smaller.
- There's all these roads - Candice.
Candice! and there's a flame.
- That is not gonna happen.
The balloon will come down all by itself.
- It's gonna crash.
- No, it's not gonna crash.
It will slowly and gradually lose height and come down gently onto the ground.
How do you know this stuff? Are you sure? Positive.
Now, nothing's gonna happen to you.
All you have to do is sit tight and wait.
(CANDICE SOBS) Need to get her down fast.
- She could do anything.
- Right.
(PHONE RINGS) Rescue 1.
Dean, Michelle, how's the groom? Yeah, he's OK.
Heidi's patching him up.
But he's refusing transport.
Said he's not gonna go anywhere without his bride, which is understandable.
So the sooner we find her, the better.
Any word from the party that took off in the vehicle? Didn't Lara give you the numbers? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we've been trying them.
- No answer.
- No answer.
They've been on the drink, so they either can't hear their phones or they've lost them.
Alright.
Well, we'll keep trying them.
Let me know when you have any idea where this balloon will come down.
If it's gonna be a public road, we'll have to organise the RTA, Bush, SES.
- I'll put them both on stand-by.
- Copy that.
Rescue 1 out.
Right.
I really hope this balloon doesn't come down on the highway.
Or those train lines or the powerlines.
Are you expecting a fax? From head office? You mean Chantelle? Something about sexual harassment in the workplace.
Looks like PC gone mad.
Eh, Bobby.
How are you going? Yeah, we have a small problem with an air balloon.
I'm gonna be in my office.
Can you see anything below you? Any bridges, any buildings? Anything? CANDICE: Only the paddocks and there's nothing else.
Alright, Candice, sit tight.
We're gonna get you out of this.
Jordan, what's your sitrep? No sign yet.
Must be getting close.
- Yeah, roger that.
Rescue 1 out.
- Weddings! Speaking of weddings, what's the story with you and Hamish? Well, I noticed you weren't wearing your engagement ring of late.
It's off.
Are you still seeing Nicole? Nah.
Love sucks! - Yeah, maybe.
- What? Or maybe we could wrap this up and get back to town and hook up.
- What do you think, huh? - What, you and me? We're both free agents.
Come on! (LAUGHS) OK, we've got it.
We're east of you so take the next turn right.
Over.
Copy that.
Rescue 1 out.
OK, we've got an MVA.
Looks like the wedding party.
I'll get back to you.
Rescue 2 out.
MAN: Oh, we've got some dudes here.
Thank goodness! Jason saw the balloon but forgot to look at the road.
- Right, Jason's the driver? - (WHIMPERS) He's the best man, or supposed to be.
Jason, are you alright, mate? Can't get out.
Stuck.
- Has he been drinking? - Well, we've all been drinking.
MAN: (LAUGHS) Oh, not Candy's car.
Not Candy's car! - Oh, no! MAN 2: (LAUGHS) Oh, yes! - How is he? - Broken nose, suspected busted ribs.
Typical Candice, you know, couldn't have a normal wedding.
Oh, no.
Had to have a balloon.
- Excuse me, boys.
Get back.
- Hey, guys, away from the car.
Had to be a drama like the rest of her life.
- Did you try pulling the seat back? - We're gonna have to cut him out.
- Alright, I'll get the Combi.
- Alright.
Don't worry, mate.
We're gonna cut the car, not you.
Go for your life.
Car's not mine anyway.
- Whose is it? - The bride's.
But, er, guess she won't be needing it for a while.
(LAUGHS) (GROANS IN PAIN) There it is.
- Dean, we're heading the wrong way.
- No, pull over.
Alright, Candice, Candice, can you hear me? CANDICE: Not very well! Alright, we're getting close, Candice.
- We have to stay with her.
Just go.
- Buckle up! VINCE: Yeah, well, I don't know what you'd call it.
A runaway balloon? And it could come down in your district.
A couple of our teams are tracking it.
We don't know where it's coming down, you goose.
It's an air balloon.
We're just notifying your guys to be on stand-by.
MICHELLE: Rescue Base to Rescue 1.
Rescue 1.
Go ahead, Michelle.
Yeah, we have the RTA and SES on stand-by.
If the balloon comes down on private property, we'll need an address so that we can organise for the gates to be unlocked.
Yeah, got you.
Anything else? Yeah, Dean, I'm gonna call you on your mobile.
- What? (MOBILE RINGS) Yeah, what's going on? Our, um, liaison at the station.
Uh, yeah.
- Did you tell anybody? - (LAUGHS) No.
Er, I mean, no.
Listen, Dean, if you want to file a sexual harassment report, that's up to you.
But I would have kind of, um, expected you to have the decency to come to me first.
Um, I, er I didn't and I would have.
What's going on? I'll explain later.
- What was all that about? - Oh, nothing.
Michelle just Iost some paperwork or Paperwork? What, and she thought you had it? Are you kidding me? Powerlines.
Dean, yeah.
OK.
Hey, Mac! Yeah, look, he's just here.
I'll find out, OK? - How do we get the balloon to go up? - Up?! Arggh! Look, she's heading for the powerlines.
She's not gonna make it under.
- We need the balloon to go up fast.
- Turn the burner up.
You've got to turn the burner up.
There's a lever.
The further you turn it, the faster she's gonna rise.
Alright, Candice, I need you to listen very, very carefully to me.
CANDICE: I'm heading straight for the lines.
- I'm gonna be electrocuted! - Not if you do exactly as I say.
Above you there should be a big handle or a lever.
- Can you see it? - Yes.
Alright, I need you to turn that handle as far as it'll go and then you're gonna go up.
I can't go up.
Not again.
I hate up! - What if I just jump? - Candice, do not jump.
Do not jump.
It's a lot further than you think.
(WAILS) I can't go up.
Right, Candice, you need to trust me.
I will get you out of this.
I promise.
The lever.
Yeah, that's it, the lever.
Good girl.
Just turn it as far as it'll go.
(AIR HISSES) Nothing's happening! It's not working! (WHIMPERS) She's not gonna make it.
DEAN: (OVER RADIO) Candice, just keep pulling on that lever and the balloon will go up.
Grab the lever and twist it as far as you can.
It's too late.
(AIR HISSES) - (MOUTHS) - Come on, come on.
- She's over.
- (LAUGHS) Candice, great work.
You're over.
Well done, well done.
CANDICE: (GROANS) Bit dizzy.
Alright, Candice, we need to bring you back down.
So turn the handle back the other way.
(GASPS) I feel faint.
She's hyperventilating.
Just try to calm down.
- Take big, slow, deep breaths.
- Dizzy (RADIO CUTS OUT) She must have fainted.
Let's chase it.
Move.
Well, look, the balloon is going up pretty fast.
Could that have made her light-headed? Not unless she's gone up over 8,000ft.
She couldn't have gone that high that fast.
- She shouldn't be up there at all.
- Hey, mate.
Somebody stuffed with that rope and it wasn't me.
- Oi, you - Adam! Sit down.
You're not helping her.
Adam! - You're not helping.
Sit down.
- Alright.
Calm down.
Look, we're assuming that she's fainted.
How do we get her down now? (OVER RADIO) Dean, the operator says there's nothing we can do while she's unconscious.
The biggest day of your life.
You plan it for years.
Bet she never expected this.
Rescue Base to Rescue 1, Rescue 2.
We're still delayed.
Keep tracking that air balloon.
Keep us informed of its position.
- Over.
DEAN: Yep, roger that.
Candice, can you hear me? Please say something if you can hear me.
(AIR HISSES) Why couldn't she have gotten married in a shark tank like normal people? Can't they just shoot that thing down? - That would be a no.
- Why not? Just like pricking a balloon at a party, isn't it? The air comes out, it fizzes around the room and then it comes down.
(SCOFFS) You want the bride to fizz around the Hunter Valley? Is that what would happen? Actually, no.
You see, they have these small holes all over them anyway.
A bullet hole wouldn't be big enough.
You'd have to shoot a hole the size of a Honda Civic to get enough air out.
Is that completely out of the question? Well, that balloon's not coming down.
Not until the air inside it cools down.
- (SIGHS) - When will that be? The problem is where.
The higher the balloon goes, the further it travels.
She could be 50 k's before it comes down.
Oh, great.
Michelle, you got a moment? (MACHINE WHIRRS) CHASE: We're just cutting through one last bit then we'll pull you out of there.
Is this gonna hurt? I'm not very good with pain.
Add that to the very long list of things Jase isn't good at.
- What are you talking about? - I think you know.
Um, you might feel a bit of pressure but it shouldn't hurt.
Shame.
Do feel free to poke him with those metally things.
Teach him a lesson.
Misunderstood.
It's a burden.
Right, I'm just gonna chuck this blanket over you in case there's any glass.
There you go.
You guys can stand back.
- OK, you ready, mate? - Ready as I'll ever be.
- On three.
- Yep.
One, two, three.
- Whoo! (ALL CHEER) Let's party! (LAUGHS) You got my memo? Uh, yeah.
Are all the squads going to this seminar? No.
Just yours.
I thought as a manager you might find it helpful to nip any indiscretions in the bud before someone is, um oh, I don't know shagging on the manager's desk.
For example.
You got something to say, Chantelle, spit it out.
Alright.
I wasn't sure if this was a joke.
But I didn't find it particularly funny.
Watch it.
And then we'll talk.
(PHONE RINGS) Station manager.
(CLEARS THROAT) Uh, yes.
It is true.
But our people expect to bring Miss Campbell and the balloon home safely within the hour.
I came over the hill and there was the balloon, right there.
I mean, you surely can't expect me to keep a grip on the wheel in those circumstances.
- Sheer bad luck.
(BREATHALYSER BEEPS) OFFICER: You'd better come to the station with us, sir.
Want to grab that? Take me with you.
Uh, that wouldn't be a good idea.
There's no way you're leaving me here with Jason the idiot and his gang of wedding hoons.
- We can't.
(DEVICE BEEPS) Sorry Hang on.
Sorry.
Uh, Dean.
Yeah.
What's up? DEAN: Where are you guys? - We're just packing up.
- We'll be away in five.
- Well, hurry up.
We need to make sure everyone's in position by the time this balloon comes down.
- OK - Please! She's my best friend.
And she's in trouble.
(COOS) Please?! Alright, get in.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
Dean? The balloon's changing direction.
Dean! The balloon's on the move.
Let's go.
Yeah, Dean, I'm finished here.
Is there anyone who can swing by and pick me up? DEAN: (OVER PHONE) We're too far away.
Sorry, Heidi.
- You'll have to sit this one out.
- Righto.
Man! Stop.
Adam.
Where do you think you're going? You can't drive.
I'll be there when they bring her down if it's the last thing I do.
You take that wheel, it may very well be.
It's a manual, Adam.
It's your left leg.
It's a WRX, Adam.
You throw that clutch around, it's gonna throw a clot it goes to your heart, you're gonna be dead.
Are you listening to me? Fine.
You drive.
Well, they do need me there and it is a WRX.
- (GROANS) - Are you alright? Yeah.
HEIDl: (OVER RADIO) Jordan.
I'm in Adam's car.
What's your position? JORDAN: (OVER RADIO) OK, we're at 23-46-04 south, 151-15-21 east, moving towards the mountains.
(CROSSLY) Voicemail.
Candice! Call me.
It's gonna be OK.
OK? (SIGHS) Bet you guys get this kind of thing all the time.
Um, not really, no.
Serious?! Weddings are nuts.
This is my third one this month.
You married? No.
You're single, aren't you, mate? Uh, yeah, we're both single.
Mm-hm.
(TYRES SQUEAL) This baby corners like she's on rails.
- 'P retty Woman'.
- Yeah, it's my favourite film.
Yeah, well, go easy, hey? It's not mine anymore.
- I've sold it.
- It's practically new.
Yeah, gotta pay for the wedding somehow.
(SIGHS) DEAN: Stop here.
We'll just get up there.
Alright, she's been unconscious for half an hour.
Whoever's closest to her when the balloon comes down will need to get oxygen to her straightaway.
Jordan, you'll also need an oxygen monitor, spine boards, heart monitor, collars and an IV.
LARA: Michelle? The balloon's coming down now.
We'll report on the condition as soon as we know.
CANDICE: (OVER RADIO) Hello? Hello?! - (PANICKED) Hello? - She's awake.
Candice.
You alright? (SOBS) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for everything.
OK.
Hey, it's not your fault.
I shouldn't have let it go.
I couldn't go through with the wedding.
(SOBS) - Hey, Candice.
- Yeah? Listen, it's OK, alright? We'll sort it out once you're down.
I think it's going up again! No.
No, it's not.
You're fine.
(SOBS) (RADIO CUTS OUT) - She's gone again.
- Come on.
You gotta be kidding.
Candice.
ADAM: Something's wrong.
- What's that? - Whoa.
- Is that flame? - Gas bottle could have ruptured.
Candice? Candice, can you hear me? Wake up.
Wake up.
Cand (BOOM!) Candice! Candice! Adam! Adam! (GRUNTS) - Where is she? - Take it easy.
Take it easy.
You gotta let us do our job, alright? OK.
- I don't understand.
Where? - We'll find her.
- Heidi, Heidi.
- Gosh.
- Heidi.
- Yep.
VINCE: (ON RADIO) Rescue Base to Rescue 1.
What's the sitrep? Went up in flames.
We don't know what happened.
The balloon's come down in a dam.
We're sending Chase and Jordan in now.
- How did this happen? - Something else is going on here.
Just before the balloon exploded, she told us she let it go.
She was the one that let it go? Sounded like she didn't want to go through with the wedding.
So, what? She set fire to the balloon as well? We won't know anything till we get the basket up.
Let us know the minute you do.
Secure everything.
I'll get on to the crime scene and police divers right away.
- Over.
- Roger.
Rescue 1 out.
It wasn't meant to end like this.
- Anything? - Nothing so far, Dean.
We'll keep looking.
Can they help her? - Shall we tell him what Candice said? - What? That she let it go? No, that she was backing out of the wedding.
We can't be sure that's what she meant.
While we're at it, what's with the secret call? - What do you mean? - You know Michelle.
Something I need to know? - No.
What's up? - Chase! I've lost Chase! - What do you mean you've lost Chase? - I don't know! I lost him! Alright.
Grab the tanks.
Something's not right.
Heidi, get 100% oxygen ready.
Pulse oxi.
Come on, come on, come on, Chase.
What's going on? Lara! Is he alright? Heidi, 100% oxygen ready.
- On his side.
- Yep.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
Oxygen.
Hey.
Take it easy, take it easy.
- What happened? - Dunno.
- Chase, hey, can you hear me? - Yeah.
- What happened? - No air.
- I filled the tanks.
- It's not all breathing air, is it? Are you sure you didn't fill them while someone was running a vehicle or generator? Are you serious? Of course not.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it now but no-one's going back in.
The others could be contaminated as well.
Big breaths, Chase.
Heidi, get on the phone to the police divers.
If Candice is still down there, she's not alive.
- (COUGHS) - Take it easy, mate.
Rest up.
VINCE: (ON RADIO) Mate, I just spoke to police divers.
They're 20 minutes away.
How's Chase doing? Over.
Yeah, it could have been a lot worse.
Listen, Vince, you wanna check the running sheets, find out what was going on while Jordan was filling the tanks? - I'll look into it.
Over.
- Why? Is there a problem? Yeah.
We can't risk going back in until we've checked the other tanks.
- I'll check out the stores.
- Copy that.
Out.
Hey, hey.
Are you alright? - This is my fault.
- No, no, no.
It's no-one's fault.
Yes, it is.
I think she might've let the balloon go because of something I said.
I spoke to her this morning when she was in the balloon because I found out she'd slept with Jason.
- Jason? - The best man.
And what did you say to her? Well, I told her that she had to tell Adam that she had to get in quick, he'd find out before she married him.
- And what was she gonna do? - Well, she said she couldn't.
(CRIES) She said that she she was having second thoughts about the wedding and I told her to suck it up.
I told her that she wanted a big wedding and she got it, and that she couldn't do this to Adam.
If I hadn't been such a bitch (CRIES) Shh.
It's not your fault.
(PHONE PLAYS 'HERE COMES THE BRIDE') It can't be.
I programmed that in.
- What is it? - It's Candice.
CANDICE: Hello? Hello? DEAN: Rescue 1 to Rescue Base.
We have re-established contact.
The bride is alive.
VINCE: (ON RADIO) Rescue Base to Rescue 1.
What's the sitrep? Over.
She's alive.
She's not in the lake.
Dean's trying to get a position now.
Candice, it's Dean.
What can you see? CANDICE: All I can see is trees and hills.
- Are you hurt? - I'm not sure.
The basket hit the trees and I fell out and I landed hard on the ground somewhere.
OK.
Candice, don't move a muscle.
We're gonna come and get you.
OK? Candice? Candice? - What the? - We've lost contact.
Rescue 1 to all units, did anyone have a clear line of sight on the balloon from the time it caught fire into the lake? Rescue 2 no, there were trees in the way.
We last saw the balloon somewhere over there which means The last sighting was 32-45-34 south, 151-15-09 east.
Right.
That's position one.
Position two is the lake.
She's gotta be somewhere on that line.
That's about three k's rough country.
Jordan, take Rescue 2.
Head to position two and drive back along that line.
We'll be at position one in five minutes.
We'll head towards you.
Rescue 1 out.
- Still no phone contact? - No.
I've got the local ambos on stand-by, hospital trauma team briefed and waiting.
Look, I, um I checked the rosters.
All tanks were filled two nights ago by Jordan.
So no idea what went wrong? Not till we check what was inside them instead.
I'll get onto it now.
Um, Vince, something happened in here.
A, um, discussion, and somehow it was videoed.
You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Chantelle has got something on me and, uh, you've not, uh You're my boss.
I wouldn't do that to you, no matter what Chantelle and I are doing after hours.
Sorry.
Yeah.
It's (SIGHS) What was the angle? - Of the camera? - Mmm.
It was up around there.
It wouldn't still be here, would it? Oh, Vince, this is crazy.
Nobody's gonna stick a camera in that vent.
Someone has.
(CAR HORN HONKS) (MEN YELL) MAN: We made it! - Chase, my man! - Jason, what? They let me out on bail.
Whoo! - Hey, do you want a drink? - Uh, no, man.
We're still working.
Adam, Greta, what a wedding.
Those police are hilarious, man.
All finger-wagging and tut-tutting.
- Hey, where's his pesky bride? - Yeah, where is she? Yeah, is the wedding still on? - Uh, she's still missing, guys.
- Of course she is.
That's our Candy, full of surprises.
Mate, I'm sorry.
Got carried away moment of madness.
Jason, shut up.
Shut up? I thought Candice She didn't, you know, tell you about last night? Oops.
Sorry, hey.
It's all your fault.
- It doesn't change anything.
- It changes everything! You're a moron! Adam! How are we supposed to get him? You need the patrol so we'll take the balloon guy's truck.
Yeah, let's go.
(ON RADIO) Yeah, we're going after him.
We've got the balloon operator's car.
Over.
OK, Heidi.
Find him as fast as you can, then join us.
Rescue 1 out.
It just proves my point.
- What point is that? - There's no money in keeping secrets.
They always come out and in the worst possible way, and the longer you keep them, the worse they get especially when you're talking about sex.
Sex secrets are the worst.
What if it's a one-night stand, no big deal? It's always a big deal.
You think telling is gonna make it better, do you? Always.
Here we go.
People do crazy things when they hear news like this.
- You don't think he's gone and - No.
Come on.
- Adam! - Adam! If I ever get married, I reckon Jordan will be my best man.
- Jordan, not Dean? - No, Dean would be like Jason.
He'd get pissed at my bucks' night, probably lose the rings and I reckon he'd do my fiancee.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
I called in our favourite police officer to have a look.
- Oh, terrific.
- Internet protocol camera.
It's the future.
So that thing's been recording how many hours? (LAUGHS) You don't get it.
This baby's been streaming live footage to someone's internet address 24/7 since it was put in.
Who would do something like this? Well, they're usually used by undercover or private detectives, but you can buy them on the Net.
Any 14-year-old with a PlayStation could probably figure it out.
What did they get? Oh, just a meeting that I wish hadn't been heard.
- OK.
We still on for tonight? - Sure.
That's me out of here.
- Red or white? - You choose.
- Red, then.
- Perfect.
She's gotta be somewhere between those mountains and here.
- (ON RADIO) Rescue Base to Rescue 1.
- Rescue 1.
That bottle Chase used, could it have been sabotaged? - Sabotaged? - Vince checked the tanks downstairs.
Half of them have been contaminated with carbon dioxide.
That is not an accident.
Somebody's deliberately filling the tanks with something else.
Can you check Chase's tank for us, please? Michelle, we're a bit busy now.
Listen, the tank's in the back can we check later? (SOFT SCRAPING) Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Brakes have gone.
Lara? - Dean.
- Shit.
Lara, you there? (NERVOUSLY) Dean! - We're gonna crash! - Brace, brace, brace, brace, brace.
(LARA BREATHES SHAKILY) You OK? Yeah.
What happened? I don't know.
Brakes, I think.
Sorry.
We should find out.
Yeah.
(GROANS) Brake fluid's gone, all of it.
It's drained.
Vince, that can't happen.
It's a split system.
It can't leak on both sides.
Someone must've got into the truck while it was here, drilled a small hole, slow leak.
Yeah, but why? We think somebody's targeting Rescue.
What? You think it's all connected the tanks, the truck Well, it's a bit of a coincidence if it's not.
Listen, Michelle, do you think all this sabotage stuff Do you think it's connected with, you know, what you were talking about earlier on? I don't know, Dean.
Um There's a DVD.
Let's hope it doesn't get posted on YouTube.
Let's just find this bride.
Yeah.
Hey, I've got to talk to you about Michelle.
We had sex in her office.
Look, it's no big deal.
It was just Before you were talking about secrets and you said Sure.
We should find this bride, right? Yeah, that went well.
Rescue 2 to Rescue 1, I think I'm close.
The balloon's come low.
DEAN: (OVER RADIO) Jordan, where are you? I'm at 32-45-14 south, 151-14-53 east.
Over.
Yeah, copy that.
We're on our way.
Rescue 1 out.
It's getting a bit rough up here.
I'm gonna have to tackle the ridge by foot.
Over.
I'll talk to him.
Hey.
Supposed to be the start of our life together.
- It's all a joke.
- Adam She let it go, didn't she? The balloon.
Please.
Look, my bloody friends can tell me the truth.
Yeah, she did, mate.
She wanted the balloon the mega-wedding.
I just wanted to spend my life with her.
How stupid does that make me? So, what are you going to do? For starters, sit here and finish this.
LARA: Jordan was right.
There's a piece of the balloon.
JORDAN: (OVER RADIO) Dean, is that you up on the ridge? DEAN: (OVER RADIO) Yeah, Lara and I are rounding Hang on.
Hang on.
Here.
Here she is.
Candice? Candice.
Alright, stay still.
Stay still.
That's it.
You're Dean.
Jordan, we need a spine board, heart monitor, collars and an IV.
JORDAN: (OVER RADIO) Come in, Vince.
VINCE: (OVER RADIO) Go ahead.
- We need the IC bus now.
- I'm at 32-45-14 - You promised you'd bring me down.
Yeah.
Well, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
Where's Adam? (OVER PHONE) Heidi, it's Dean.
We've found Candice.
You have? Well, that's great.
Thanks, Dean.
They've found her.
She's fine.
I mean, she's injured from the fall but she's going to be fine.
Well, come on.
Let's go.
What am I supposed to say to her? DEAN: Alright.
You've got multiple fractures.
Ribs, wrists, both your ankles.
The tree broke your fall but you hit the ground pretty hard.
- Can I still get married? - Not today.
The ambulance is on the way.
We'll get you to hospital, check you out and set these fractures properly.
I thought you didn't want to get married.
A moment of madness.
You let that balloon go.
- That's more than a moment.
- Adam! Hey.
I thought you were dead.
I'm sorry about everything.
Me too.
But we can get through this.
We can come back and we can do it properly.
No, we can't.
I was always here, while you decided on dresses and weddings and vineyards, while you slept with my best man and you took off in a balloon.
I was rock solid.
You never were.
(CANDICE SOBS) I love you, Candice, but I can't marry someone who's so unsure.
(SIREN WAILS) Hamish.
Hi, babe.
Listen, can we meet up later? That would be good.
Thanks.
Bye.
Are you sure it's alright for us to be here? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Adam figures he's already paid for everything, may as well enjoy ourselves.
Yeah.
Do you think he's going to be OK? Oh, yeah.
He'll come around.
Candice always gets what she wants.
MICHELLE: A success, all in all, apart from the fact that somebody's trying to kill us.
It's not just the truck and the tanks, is it? I'm not stupid.
The memo from Chantelle, the camera I don't need to know what's on this thing but I do need to know what's happening.
Whoever is targeting us is pretty serious and they have been watching us for at least a month.
- Why? - I don't know.
But Chase was nearly killed, and Lara and Dean were nearly killed today.
This is not just a series of pranks.
We've got ourselves a serious problem.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) There's no way that was an accident? Nope.
No way.
There's two little holes drilled in the brake lines.
Check it out.
Who'd be targeting Rescue? Aren't we the good guys? What am I, the oracle? What's going on? I always thought Hamish was the problem.
But you know what? Maybe it's not.
Maybe it's me.
I'm just like that bride, right? I'm flitting around and I'm changing my mind and Hamish is like the groom.
He's rock solid.
That's what I want if he'll have me.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
SONG: # See them crawling Their faces on the ground My heart keeps jumping I want to stay around Now they can't hear me I ain't too young to die But before I let you take me You gotta look me in the eyes I'm gonna get a little dirty I'm gonna get a little dirty I'm gonna get a little dirty, yeah I'm gonna get a little dirty, yeah.
