Rescue Special Ops (2009) s01e12 Episode Script

Glen! Glen, where are you? Aah! You bloody bastard! - See you later, Vince.
- See you next Tuesday.
Yeah, ha! Hey, blood nut.
- What? - Glad you could come in.
This training camp's left me short on people.
That's OK.
I need the money.
Hey, I got this text from Jordan about Lara.
- Is he winding me up? - No, it's confirmed.
Really? OK, from now on you'll need one of these to access the station house.
Just what we need in an emergency.
Hey, this nutter's already spied on us Internet protocol camera.
This baby's been streaming live footage 24/7.
almost drowned Chase could have killed Hamish's beautiful bride-to-be by tampering with your brakes - We're gonna crash! - Brace, brace, brace, brace! chucked a rock at Jordan and Heidi Jordan.
You want him to put a bomb in here? So insert the key, tap in the password, which we will change every week.
Rescue Special Operations.
Babe, you're getting married tomorrow week.
Yeah.
It's just a registry office.
Low-key.
- Have you got a dress? - Thanks, Heidi.
- What's the password? - You cannot reveal this to anybody.
- Da Vinci.
- How did you know that? Come on.
You've been carrying around that book for a year and we need a code.
- What else would it be? - I can do make-up.
Trust me, I'm awesome.
Diabetic bushwalker could be lost in Mount Kingston National Park.
Given the potential medical situation, SES has requested us to go in first.
OK.
Grab your insulin, kids.
Lara, you've been banging on about being team leader.
It is yours.
Thank you.
Now, last night there was a lot of rain and lightning.
Be careful.
SES have got their hands full but will attend as soon as.
- Let's go.
- Alright.
Take it easy.
See ya.
Are you OK with it? One of us had to get married.
- I meant about being team leader.
- Sure.
Consider it a wedding present.
Translate by: And if you could ask anyone leaving if they may have seen them, that would be awesome.
No worries.
So did your husband tell you where he was going or? Morning, Miss Collins.
I'm Lara Knight, Rescue Team Leader.
Thank you, Dean.
I can take it from here.
Absolutely, team leader.
Glen's been coming here Saturdays for the last month or so.
He gets here at the crack of dawn, he walks and he leaves at sunset.
He always rings when he's leaving, but yesterday there was no call.
Was he prepared for a night in the bush? And he's diabetic and I don't know how much medication he took.
Have you got a photo of him? - OK, guys.
- It was such a terrible night.
He must be hurt or he would have called.
Boss, early notice need to be out of here by 6:00.
- Twilight trots? - Roberto's with the wife.
With the wife? Which wife? The one I'm still married to but not living with.
- Vanessa.
So this is promising? - Baby steps.
Well, no, Roberto's could turn that into a gallop.
You took me there, remember? Once.
Good luck.
Ka-ching.
Lara Knight, team leader.
It's got a good ring to it, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it? I'm not sure about Lara Mclntyre, though.
What does that make you? Mrs Mac? Paths will be treacherous for vehicles so we'll go in by foot.
Alright.
A lot of lightning strikes last night.
Guy could've been unlucky, you know? Sheltering, tree gets hit Yep.
Fate is weird.
Jake, what are the firies doing here? Civvies, mate.
Day off.
Just taking a hike up Mount Kingston.
Yeah, quite spectacular views when they release the water from the dam.
You nature walking now, are you? Well, that makes a lot more sense.
You think you'll take her out there and all the beauty will distract her from your ugly head? Romantic foreplay something you moops wouldn't have any idea about.
Yeah, right.
You're about as romantic as a front bar on grand-final night.
What a coincidence.
Are you guys working? Yeah, we got a missing bushranger walker.
Um, Dean - You two know one another? - Kind of old friends.
- You guys obviously do.
- Yeah.
Jake and I met at the pub on Friday night.
Yeah.
Top weekend.
Jake said he would take me on a picnic with a view.
Sounds nice.
Good luck.
I hope you find who you're looking for.
Yeah, she's a beautiful girl.
Makes a great breakfast too.
Because, Lara, just 'cause it's a registry, you still want your hair and nails done.
You don't wanna look like a dog.
Lara? - Don't.
- I didn't.
Good, 'cause I've got nothing to say about it.
Alpha will head along the fire trail to section four, OK? Delta will come from the opposite direction, through section seven.
- OK.
Great.
- Be safe, guys.
Yep.
There's a lot of caves and fissures around here.
At night, if you lose the track, it's pretty easy to fall in.
I've pulled three people out of holes in the ground in this area.
Well, hopefully, if he's smart, he sheltered in one of the caverns.
Yeah.
Unless he's injured.
He should have called by now.
I mean, Jake really? The guy's an idiot.
You're the idiot who didn't close the deal.
I always said Nicole's the one.
We're doing the cabins and main hot spots up to the lake.
I've got the SES working the north-west corner in case he tries to cut back to the highway.
But you haven't found him yet? Nope.
Just keeping you posted, Base.
Right, well, when something happens I'll let you know ASAP.
Rescue Team Leader out.
Hey, are you OK? Do you want a cup of coffee? Here you go.
Are you married? About to be.
Congratulations.
We fight a lot.
To be honest, that's as much why Glen comes here, I think.
But I still love him.
I'm sure we'll find him.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Yeah.
Jake must have known about Nicole.
It's got to be some sort of a set-up.
Or she's just a good-Iooking girl, so he's into her.
- Whose side are you on? - What? Did I give you a hard time when what's-her-face dumped you? - What? Ginny? - Who's Ginny? No, the other one the brunette.
- Jen.
- Jen? Who's Jen? No, the cute one.
Sasha.
She's a blonde and, yeah, actually you did.
By the way, she didn't dump me.
We both just Yeah, I get it, I get it, yeah.
Keeping your options open.
- You know what? Screw it.
- What are you doing? No, you can't.
Look, that's the number one rule your rule.
Never seem desperate.
- Shut up.
Shut up.
- Your funeral.
Sorry.
What? You wanted me out of your life, I'm getting out of your life.
Nicole, I never said "out of my life.
" Just out of your flat.
You can't be serious about Jake.
Come on.
Rescue Team Leader to Alpha.
Go ahead, Lara.
I know Jake, Nicole, and I'm telling you, he's not your sort of guy.
- And I should trust your judgement? - Come on.
- H - Is he calling Nicole? Not anymore.
- Put him on, please.
- Yeah, I got you.
Did you just break your number one rule? We're about halfway to section four and, no, this is not affecting my work.
Over.
Yeah, hang on a sec, Lara.
We got a tent up here.
- We're gonna go and investigate.
- Dean, stay focused.
- It's important, alright? - Yeah.
Copy that, team leader.
Hello.
Anyone here? His wife said he wasn't prepared for a night out.
We got two bags.
Whoever it is, maybe they've seen him.
Glen Collins? Confirm.
Hiker found alive and well.
- Head back to the command post.
- Copy that, Lara.
Lara, I just wanted to say that if you do want a hens' night then I'll organise it.
- You won't have to lift a finger.
- We'll let you know, Heidi.
- Nice and simple.
- Yeah.
Except, the thing is, we're probably safer out here 'cause of that creep trying to spy on us and hurt us.
You mean my wife reported me missing? Yep.
I left a message.
She must have missed it.
Um, you're a diabetic? Yeah, but, you know, tablets, they keep it under control.
Your wife made it sound more urgent.
Well, she panics.
We couldn't help but notice there are two sleeping bags.
Yeah, some young hiker guy caught in the storm.
Look, I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding and inconvenience, but there's no need to worry.
As you can see, I'm fine.
How do we know that there wasn't another hidden camera? They checked.
Yeah, Vince and Michelle checked and some nerd from IT.
It's not like the CIA did a sweep.
I reckon there could be others that they missed.
I doubt it.
Then again, head office could have planted some cameras to spy on us.
This is Delta to Rescue Base.
Vince, are you there? G'day, Heidi.
You guys have got it easy, haven't you? Yeah, um, listen, I've been taking a few drinks from the dispenser but only 'cause I didn't have any change, and with the cameras and all, it might be misconstrued.
But I am gonna pay.
Yeah, well, you attend to that as soon as.
Yeah.
What? It's not stealing.
The machine's defective.
Starts with a can of Coke.
So he's physically OK? Yeah, no injuries whatsoever, but if you ask me, it's all a little bit odd.
He says he wants to spend another night out here and he doesn't need to see his wife.
Can I speak to the rescuers? - Dean, can we speak to Mr Collins? - No, not him them.
Mrs Collins, your husband's doing fine.
Yeah, I bet he is.
Who's he with? It's that slut from his work, right? You saw him.
You're my witness.
Answer me.
Who is he with? Mrs Collins, there's nothing like that going on out here.
What's going on here? Exactly what I've been asking for the last month.
Strange phone calls that just click off when I pick up, and him out camping for the weekend? It's the girl from his office.
I've smelt her perfume.
What are you thinking, team leader? Are we being played here or what? Seems like it.
Are you telling me you got us out here to prove your husband has been unfaithful? How else was I supposed to find him? Naomi, she just doesn't think things through.
She's incredibly jealous and a little paranoid but, you know, she's not malicious.
Well, how about you just come with us and we'll go and explain the whole situation to her? I'd rather just, you know, hike out by myself, if that's alright? Got the water.
Don't smell the bacon yet.
This is the hiker I was telling you about.
- Tony.
- Tony.
Sorry, Tony.
We only met last night.
Right, well, the police may want to talk to you about all this a little bit later, so in the meantime just be careful.
The conditions can be a little tricky.
Chase? Yeah.
.
What do you reckon's going on there? A bit of 'Brokeback Mountain'? It's not our business, Chase.
As you can see, he's not in any danger.
But I'm just worried about the wife.
I mean, she's probably gonna get charged, everyone's gonna think she's crazy and he is cheating doesn't matter who with.
You're jumping to conclusions.
If you're right, it's not our place to tell her.
"Wish I could quit you.
" A complete wild-goose chase, Base.
Make the report.
We'll file it with the police.
Righto.
Out.
Do you realise the amount of resources that go into something like this for nothing? Whether you're charged is not up to me, but I will be filing a report.
And I want to see that report.
He's with her.
I know it.
Do you understand what's going on here? The ones who found him, they're men, right? - It has nothing to do with anything.
- They look after one another.
Rescue Team Leader, this is Alpha.
Go ahead, Alpha.
We're on our way back.
The husband wouldn't cooperate.
He's got no intention of returning.
Mrs Collins? Mrs Collins! Mrs Collins! Mrs Collins, stop! Stop! Mrs Collins! Crap.
Dean, she's probably headed back to her husband's location.
She's convinced he's with some bimbo.
- More like a himbo.
- What? As in the possible love interest.
She's taken my map.
What? No snappy Dean Gallagher comment? Just because you had a crazy woman tear off.
Thanks for the support.
Hey.
Track wasn't wet enough for you? - Well - I understand.
Jordan Zwitkowski.
I'm with Rescue.
Bronte.
Who are you rescuing? Hiker.
Diabetic.
- A diabetic? And he's injured? - No, no.
He's OK.
His wife called it in so we'd bust him with his girlfriend.
You're joking.
You wouldn't believe this job sometimes.
Thought you said you were going for a pit stop, not a 24-hour romance.
Heidi, Bronte.
Bronte, Heidi.
- Partner.
- Hi.
We're going to go back to the car park because, you know, we've got stuff to do and it's pretty dangerous.
So you be careful, OK? I might come with you if that's OK.
I've had enough for one day.
- Smart thinking.
- Great.
Let's go.
I know as team leader I should've secured the map, but she just jumped in the car and drove straight off.
- Right through the chain to the park.
- OK, Lara.
You did well.
Keep me posted, alright? Like a cemetery around here.
Any news? Lara's in pursuit of the woman but she hasn't eyeballed her yet.
People are mental.
And how is our team leader coping? I guess Lara has to learn if she's in the kitchen, she gotta take the heat.
Speaking of kitchens and all that, presuming dinner goes well, you think I should ask Vanessa back for coffee or do you think I should tease it out? - So you don't seem needy? - Exactly.
I don't know, Vince.
Maybe you should take the lead from her.
You could be right.
Well, you know I've changed, I'm a consensus kind of guy.
- That's right.
- Yeah.
I'm going to change the password on this.
I need you to verify it.
This time I'm going to use all numerals.
This is Rescue Team Leader.
I have a visual on the vehicle.
Yeah, what's your position, Lara? I'm on the Seven Foot Track, maybe halfway to the river.
See you, mate.
You better leave this to me.
I knew you were having an affair! Don't touch me! I thought it was with the bimbo in the office.
- Naomi, look - Don't! Will you listen to me, please?! Listen to me, sweetheart! Naomi! Listen to me! Sweetheart! Hey! Hey! Calm down for me, Mr Collins.
Naomi! You OK? I'm fine.
Can you just make sure she doesn't hurt herself, please? Hey! No, she isn't.
She is.
This is Rescue Alpha to Rescue Team Leader.
We've got a situation here.
Mrs Collins has crashed at the causeway onto the rocks.
She's inside, not moving.
We need to secure that vehicle first.
See you there, Heidi.
Yeah, OK, we're on our way.
Over.
- Jordan, now.
- What's up? - I'll brief you on the way.
- Everything OK? Sorry.
Can't really discuss that.
Jordan.
- This is Gallagher.
- Gallagher, Hudson.
You're aware there's a four-wheel drive in the creek, aren't you? - Really, Jake? - Yeah.
You know how to keep your hands on anything? What did he say? You know Dean.
Wouldn't know how to take help from anyone.
Call her phone.
See if she answers.
You good? Yep.
It's going to be slippery.
Front door's jammed.
Going in the back.
This is Alpha One.
We're making entry.
Yeah, copy that, Deano.
Over.
What's the story, Vince? The woman is now stuck in a car in a creek.
They're trying to get to her to assess any injuries.
I've got a chopper on stand-by.
See, this is what happens when you let a marriage slide.
Four, six, eight, four, six, four? - Didn't you write it down? - You don't write it down! That's the whole point of security.
Where's your radio? I left it out there.
Naomi! Naomi.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you OK? Yes.
Yes.
She needs to be extracted.
I'm bleeding.
That's OK.
We'll sort that out for you.
- My neck hurts.
- OK, just stay still.
Stay still.
- Chase, we'll need a collar.
- Yep.
Do you know what day it is? Yeah, it's the worst day of my life.
Chase! Apart from just learning my husband's a homosexual, I'm fine.
Just get me out of here.
Four, six, eight, four - This is unbelievable! - Look, look.
What? Somebody's in here.
All our people are out.
Almost there.
Got the weight? Good to go.
- Alright, up.
- There's no concussion.
I think the soreness is just bruising.
Prepare to lower.
Lower.
- Naomi - You shut up! - I do not want to speak to you.
- It's not - Shh! - You're going to need to stand back.
- Let us do our job.
- Come on.
Mate OK, I'm alright.
Alright? I just want to get out of here.
I've just got to check your blood pressure, OK? Yep, I'll drink to that.
Boonie wants a beer, Boonie wants a beer, Boonie wants a beer, Boonie wants a beer.
Sonofabitch.
Rescue Base, this is Rescue Team Leader.
Rescue Base, this is Rescue Team Leader.
Come in, please.
- Vince? Michelle? Come on! Do you think I should contact head office, tell them to check? If it's nothing, they'll think I'm a twit.
You're the team leader.
Dean was right it's just some bruising.
Well, that's something.
Let's get that gear up.
Naomi, will you just please - Just let me - Keep him away from me.
Mate Hi.
It's Lara Knight here from Rescue Special Operations.
Can I speak to Chantelle Gregory, please? Seven, four, six.
Come on.
Four, six.
- Is that it? - No, no one more.
This is it, this is it.
Yes! Hey, hey! Stop, you bastard! - You hurt? - No! Go! Get him! Yeah, he's just coming back now.
No, he didn't get him.
Yeah, he's fine.
Alright.
I'll call the police.
Thanks, Chantelle.
- I nearly had him.
- Did you see his face? No, I'm not even certain it's a 'he'.
That's not good.
Vince, this is scary.
How did he get in? I'm going to check the CCTV.
Did you lock the door just now? Forgot.
Vanessa! Naomi, I am not gay.
Yeah, and I'm not blind.
Could you just try to sit still, please? You know, I wish now it was the bimbo in the office.
Please.
It's not what you think it is.
What? You were hugging him.
I was hugging him because he's my son.
Don't worry.
All this won't affect our date.
I've made it perfectly clear that I will not work back tonight.
Um, thing is, Vince About tonight.
I can't do it.
Got to work? Actually, I'm going out with somebody else.
We went out two weeks ago.
How could you meet someone in two weeks? - It just happened.
- In two weeks! Well, you didn't call me.
I guess you were doing your 'treat her mean' thing.
I was giving you space.
And I'm glad you did or I wouldn't have met Tyson.
Tyson? Well, you tell Tyson that I asked first.
We have a date.
It's OK.
It's the CCTV thing.
It can wait.
You know, actually, Michelle would have been much more suited to you.
I've always said that.
How can you throw away years together for a guy you just met? Years together? Come on.
Who are we fooling? I don't think we've shared a real conversation in about three years.
Vince Marchello.
Hold.
Vanessa, wait.
Wait! Listen.
You know, we can't rule out this is some con who I put away.
Maybe he knows you're my girlfriend.
Really? Girlfriend? What do you think you were gonna do with that spanner? Give him a good hard crack if I had the chance.
I know that you're someone not to be messed with, but why don't you leave the bad guys to me? Wait.
There.
Go back.
Simple.
Just waited there and ducked in.
He was in here from the time they all left.
Heidi, you can stay up here and monitor the patient but give them some room.
- Where are you going? - Secondary survey.
We just did one.
That's the team leader's job, not yours.
Tony contacted me a little over a month ago.
Up until then I had no idea he existed.
And his mother It was a one-night stand, long before I knew you.
You could have told me.
Great secondary recon, Dean.
Jordan, I'm going to need some chocks.
Copy that.
So are you OK with it? I don't have a choice.
Jordan, hurry up with those chocks.
Like you said? It happened before you even knew me.
Lara! - My leg.
It's stuck.
- We'll be there in a sec.
- Hold on.
Hold on, Lara.
Lara, speak to me.
Lara.
Lara, what's up? What's up? My leg's stuck.
- That's it.
- Dean, how is it? It's wedged.
- So nothing's broken? - Nothing's broken.
She's in a fair bit of pain, though.
The car's wedged her foot and we can't winch it back or forward otherwise it could crush her leg.
We're gonna try to jack it up and slide her out.
Cheers.
- We'll get you out.
It won't be long.
- OK.
- Grab a jack.
- Alright, I've got your weight.
I've got you.
Jordan, grab the vest.
Being team leader sucks.
You've done a good job.
What exactly would you qualify as a bad job? Yes, Michelle, they're trying the jack now.
Over.
Keep us informed, Heidi.
Anything we can do Alright, that's it.
All over, red rover.
She makes up her mind.
That's it.
How are they doing? They're not good.
Lara's foot is stuck under the car in the creek.
They're trying to jack it up.
Johnson find him? Yeah, but no chance of an ID.
- Maybe the fingerprints.
- Yeah.
Where did you say Lara was trapped? Mount Kingston National Park.
Deano, how are you guys doing with Lara? Having a bit of trouble trying to get the jack to sit flat.
Fix it quick.
There's a dam release scheduled in seven minutes.
Once the extra water hits, that creek's gonna turn into a torrent.
There's gotta be something you can do.
Can't you manage that? Well, get onto him, find out where he is.
I'll hold.
Well, can't they stop the release? Vince is chasing it.
Can't you jack the car? If a jack slips, the car will crush her.
We're trying to support the jack with rocks right now.
They can't override the master control.
They have to shut it off from the pumphouse.
They're trying to find the guy Yes, mate.
I'm here.
How long will that take? Yep, the quickest they can get their guy there is 10 minutes.
We gotta do it ourselves.
Yeah, alright.
I'll send Chase and Jordan.
Boys, go.
Go.
Heidi and I are gonna stay and try to free Lara.
Let's have a look at the dam.
The pumphouse is on the north side of the dam about 800 metres from your position.
Yeah, we're heading onto the dam wall now.
I don't need to tell you to hurry, do I? We're not going to let anything happen to you, Lara.
OK? Alright.
We should never have been in this situation crazy wife, psycho in here.
I should have thought ahead.
Well, you're not a clairvoyant.
Bravo, this is Rescue Base.
Status report.
Alright.
We're directly over the pumphouse now.
Got the boltcutters for the padlock.
That will do the trick.
- Alright.
Let's do it.
- Race you.
Last one to the bottom buys the drinks.
Go to the master control switch and punch in the override code.
You have three minutes.
There's a flashing red light above the console.
Come on! It's giving a little.
I can feel it.
You have to hit the command code while it's still flashing.
Once it turns green it's too late.
We're in.
Chase, you're looking for a keyboard attached to a digital display.
Over here! Alright, confirm the override code is seven, hotel, golf, five, one, X-ray.
Confirm seven, hotel, golf, fiver, indigo, X-ray.
Alright, that's it.
I can't push the jack any higher.
Yes! Whoo! Hey, we did it.
We did it.
I think you should get those beers, mate.
Chase, the flood gates are active.
We're too late.
The gates are opening.
Deano, you've got a million tonnes of water heading your way in less than four minutes.
Yeah, copy that.
- Heidi, out of the water.
- No.
- Out of the water.
Clear the area.
- No way.
Yeah, Heidi.
Yeah.
That's an order.
Go on.
I'm gonna give this everything I've got.
There's a good chance I'm gonna break your leg.
No.
No, no, no, no.
You break my leg, I could be finished in Rescue.
Or you could be finished full stop.
Give me spare air.
I can wait it out.
It'll turn into a giant washing machine.
This car will crush you.
What am I supposed to tell Hamish? "I'm sorry your bride drowned the job came first"? Do it.
Right, Lara, brace yourself.
This is gonna hurt.
Aargh! I've got no leverage.
I'm gonna have to get behind you.
Alright.
Alright.
I've been ordered out of the water.
Dean is continuing to try and free Lara.
Maybe we can divert it.
Er Vince, how long? The water's gonna hit in less than a minute.
Right.
Alright.
I got you.
- How are you doing? - Hey.
Morphine's kicked in.
So not too bad, all in all.
Nah.
I never thought I'd thank anybody for snapping my leg.
I actually don't think it's broken.
- Really? - Yeah.
So, looks like you'll have to do the bridal waltz after all? Alright.
Dean.
You should call Nicole.
It's not too late.
You're on drugs.
- You don't know what you're saying.
- Yes, I do.
You're not so tough.
Not as tough as you.
Hey.
I love you.
You guys too.
Look after her.
Look, she'd really appreciate it but we can't accept that.
Then ask her to accept my apologies.
Tony will go with you to the hospital.
Right You can get to know each other.
I'll wait here for the tow truck, bring back the submarine.
Hey, er, didn't think you'd still be here.
I wanted to make sure everything turned out OK.
If you're ever free and you want to do something You're very sweet, Jordan, but I'm kind of involved right now.
If I ever become uninvolved, I'll call for rescue.
Yeah.
And we'll be here.
Goddamn it.
That was awful.
We were watching and there was nothing we could do.
Jake called it in, but Lara OK? Yeah, she's gonna be fine.
Well, er, we've still got some work to do so Sure.
Take care.
Yeah, you too.
You know, despite your best efforts, I don't think it's over between you two.
That bastard! Check it out.
See? The wife was right.
Women can always smell a rat.
- Lucky rat.
- What? Yeah, he's a rat.
So much money.
Just putting it all in the machine.
Hey, wasn't there another photo here? Like, of all of us at the barbecue? Who's taken it? Hey, I just got off the phone from Hamish, and Lara's gonna be OK.
Er, she has some strained ligaments, be on crutches for a while, but she'll be fine.
And, everybody, remember to be extra careful with security this week, alright? Remember your cards.
- Anyone for the pub? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm in.
- Vince, are you coming? - Not tonight, Josephine.
Alright.
See you tomorrow.
See you.
Are you going to walk me to my car? My pleasure.
That ratbag stole my Boonie bobblehead.
I'm sure insurance will cover it.
You've reached Lara Knight at Rescue Special Operations.
Leave a message.
