00:01I'm gonna go look for help.
00:03Dan!
00:03And I know the risk, but we can't leave Tasha like this anymore.
00:06You can't go by yourself.
00:07Well, okay, I'll go.
00:08No, wait, wait.
00:09I'll go.
00:09No, you're injured. You hold me up.
00:11And you had an operation, what, a few weeks ago?
00:12And I feel fine.
00:13You both keep telling me not to blame myself.
00:14So let me do something, please.
00:19Leah.
00:20Yeah, I'm okay.
00:22I could walk for hours if I had to.
00:24Help me.
00:33Tasha!
00:34We're over here!
00:36We're here!
00:38We're here!
00:39Portable 7 to base.
00:41Alf, we've found it.
00:42Tasha's known a good way.
00:42We need an airlifter out of here now.
00:44Hurry up, Scott!
00:45Let's go.
00:47Left side pneumothorax.
00:48Track your deviation to the right.
00:54You know we belong together.
00:58You and I love you.
00:59Forever and ever.
01:02No matter where you are.
01:07You're my guiding star.
01:10You're my guiding star.
01:12Hold me in your arms.
01:14Don't let me go.
01:16I want to stay forever.
01:20Closer each day.
01:23Home and away.
01:36How long is it going to take?
01:38Just give him a chance.
01:39Do you know what?
01:39At least tell us what is going on.
01:42At least.
01:43Look at you.
01:44I'm fine.
01:45I don't know.
01:46No one is telling me anything.
01:48I don't know.
01:49Where's Tash?
01:50Robbie, where's Tash?
01:51We've raced up to the emergency room
01:53and they're still in there with her.
01:55Do you have anything?
01:57Ready, Doctor?
02:01Okay, Tash.
02:03What we're going to do now
02:04is we're going to make a small incision.
02:06We're going to insert a tube
02:07and it will release the air
02:08that's stuck in your pleural space in your chest.
02:11Okay?
02:12Now you've had a load call,
02:12so you shouldn't feel anything.
02:14But if you do,
02:15not just a bit more pressure,
02:16but if you feel something,
02:17let us know, alright?
02:18What?
02:19What?
02:26Okay.
02:27How are you travelling?
02:29Good girl.
02:32Now, when I put this in,
02:34it should release the tension almost immediately,
02:36so you'll be feeling a lot better.
02:37Okay?
02:46Any word from Peter up in the chopper?
02:48Over.
02:49No, no further sighting,
02:51but they can't be too far away
02:52from where the plane was found.
02:53Look, just give it your best shot, eh, Jess?
02:56We'll be losing light in a couple of hours anyway.
02:58Over.
02:58I will do.
02:59Over and out.
03:03Another night doing it tough out in the scrub
03:05and Leah's only been out of hospital, what?
03:07Three?
03:08Four weeks?
03:09I'd better go and chip in.
03:11Hey, come on.
03:12You can hardly stand up.
03:13Look, they're going to need
03:14as many pairs of eyes as they can get.
03:15Not if they're going to have to carry you home,
03:17they don't.
03:17There are plenty of people out there to help.
03:20Why don't you just sneak down to the hospital
03:22and see how young Hayley's doing, eh?
03:24Yeah, well, if it's okay.
03:25Of course it's okay.
03:26Now get out of here
03:27and make sure you get some flaming sleep too.
03:29Let me know if you hear anything about Leah and Dad.
03:31Will do.
03:34Look, when you feel up to it,
03:35we should get going before we lose the light.
03:37Yeah, I'll be right.
03:40Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:43What's this?
03:43I'm just a bit sore from the stitches.
03:45Oh, come on, you're bleeding.
03:46Yeah.
03:46How long has it been like this?
03:47Since the plane crash.
03:48I think it's super important.
03:49Why didn't you tell me?
03:50Because I just didn't want it to slow us down.
03:52Oh, well, we've got to get you some help.
03:54Look, Dad, it's all right.
03:55No, you shouldn't have come.
03:56Take me the one you need to worry about.
03:57Please, let's just go and get us some help.
03:58Yeah, I know.
03:58No, you're not going anywhere.
03:59If they just pull any more on the stitches,
04:01sit down.
04:01All right, we'll just wait for some help.
04:03I mean, they can't be too far away.
04:05Sit, sit, sit.
04:05Okay.
04:14Not much longer.
04:15We're almost there.
04:18Okay, I'm just stitching in the tube now, so tell me if you feel anything, okay?
04:23No.
04:24Okay.
04:27All right.
04:29We are done.
04:31Let's get you off to this road.
04:36Honestly, Lancey, I'm perfectly all right.
04:39Just a bit shaken up, that's all.
04:42No, no, there's no need to come rushing down.
04:45You're busy.
04:46You've got Debbie and Maggie to think of.
04:48No, no.
04:50Hey, where is she going?
04:52Where is she going?
04:53She's had a tension pneumothorax, okay?
04:55What the heck does that mean?
04:56Well, it's an air pocket that's leaked into the pleural space between her lung and her
04:59chest.
05:00Clint, is she going to be okay, please?
05:01Well, they're just running it down extra now, so I don't know until I have a look at
05:04it, but just try to relax.
05:06All right, we'll know more soon.
05:07All right.
05:07All right.
05:10Where's Hayley?
05:10Is she all right?
05:11Oh, yeah, mate, she's being looked after with Kim at the moment.
05:13She's okay.
05:13All right.
05:14Now, you stay there a bit.
05:16Dr. Hill will be in in a minute, and he'll have a look at those ribs.
05:20He'll want to see you too.
05:31Look, about what happened with us out there...
05:33Yeah, I don't think we should...
05:35No, I just want to say, the kiss, it wasn't just because of how scary things were, or...
05:44...needing to hang on to someone for a minute.
05:47Well, it wasn't for me anyway.
05:52Yeah, I'm sorry, I really don't know how I feel about anything right now.
05:55That's okay.
05:56I understand.
05:57No, it's just that I'm...
06:01That's the first time anyone's kissed me, or even got close to me since Noah died.
06:11Just as long as you know I meant it.
06:13Well, they got you at last, thank goodness.
06:16They stitched that?
06:17Yeah, all patched up.
06:18Good.
06:19Good.
06:21You must both be utterly exhausted.
06:25I think that you should come home with me, just for tonight.
06:28Oh, I'm okay, Dad.
06:29They want to keep us in overnight anyway, for observation.
06:33Oh, yes.
06:34Of course.
06:36Let's see, um...
06:37In that case.
06:48I didn't see if I needed them all in the back there.
06:50I actually came down to see if you needed a hand.
06:53Oh, so you won't be careful then?
06:54No.
06:55And I didn't step in to help because you didn't need it.
06:58You did a good job, Doctor.
07:06Well, tell me if it hurts, alright?
07:07Because I still don't think it's a good idea.
07:09Well, you've been through this a hundred times.
07:10Yeah, I know, but I'm serious.
07:11I mean, who knows what's going on under your stitches.
07:13What was that?
07:15What?
07:16Is there something there?
07:17It looks like there's...
07:19There's someone there.
07:20Hello?
07:21Oi.
07:22Hello?
07:22Wait.
07:23Can you help us, please?
07:25Please, stay there.
07:26Hello?
07:27Arrgh.
07:27Just wait.
07:28Stop, please.
07:29There's been a plane crash, mate.
07:31We need some help.
07:32We've got injured people that are gonna...
07:34Please.
07:35Please, just stop there, mate.
07:36Arrgh.
07:37Wait.
07:37Oh, my God.
07:41What are you doing here?
07:42It's okay.
07:43I can get help.
07:55Oh.
07:57It's you, Beth.
07:59Yeah.
07:59I'm so sorry, Colleen.
08:01I can't imagine what you've been through and...
08:05What happened?
08:08I'm not sure.
08:10The engine stopped.
08:13Ben tried to get it going again, but he couldn't.
08:20Was he all right?
08:21How come he didn't radio for help?
08:23Well, he did.
08:24He kept saying, mayday, mayday.
08:29But it didn't get through.
08:33Everything seemed to be going wrong.
08:37Then he said we'd have to make a forced landing.
08:41Look, why don't I just get you a cover?
08:43No.
08:45No, you've got to hear what he did.
08:49He tried to land on the water.
08:53But he couldn't stop in time.
08:56We skidded on the beach.
09:00And then there were rocks.
09:03Ben knew we were gonna hit them.
09:05And he did something.
09:09And it crashed.
09:12Right where he was sitting.
09:15You can see Tasha now.
09:17Josie, Irene, Robbie only.
09:19How is she?
09:19She is the luckiest girl in the world.
09:21I mean, the drain's in place.
09:22So in the next 24 hours, that should reinflate her lung.
09:25When there was some severe swelling and bruising to her legs.
09:27But by some miracle, there's no fracture.
09:30Come on, let's go say good day before she thinks
09:32that another way to scare us after death.
09:37Flynn, we caught up with him near Overt's Ridge.
09:40Oh, thank God.
09:41Fine time you picked to go for a two day hike.
09:43Better take a look at her, Flynn.
09:45I'll just search her lined up.
09:46Yeah, there's someone else you need to look after.
09:48Eric!
09:49He didn't want to come in, but we made him.
09:51Just check out that arm.
09:52Shh!
09:52Oh, it's fine. Sister, can't look.
09:53I can't hang around here.
09:54That's badly infected, mate.
09:55A nurse has gone over.
09:56I've got to get out.
09:56Just sit down for five minutes, okay?
09:58Yvonne, could you have a look?
10:00Are you guys all right?
10:01Yeah, I just...
10:02Okay, just come in.
10:03Come on.
10:17Hi, sweetheart.
10:20You're welcome home, girlie.
10:25Sorry.
10:36We're ready for you now, Mrs Smart.
10:38Anyone who should come with you?
10:41No.
10:43No one.
10:46I'll manage.
10:50Where's Eric?
10:51Oh, he's with Flynn.
10:56I just want to know where you've been, mate,
10:58and how you ended up in the pool.
10:59Oh, who cares?
10:59Look, I really need to get out of here.
11:01Well, you don't have to run anymore.
11:02Oh, you just want to keep me here so the cops can show up.
11:04Spruce, look at you.
11:05Oh, what are you doing here?
11:06Look at the stadia.
11:07Who cares?
11:07Look, I need to get out of here.
11:09I'm not waiting for the cops to...
11:10No, no, no, but that's just it, mate.
11:11Um, Alf.
11:15Now, I want you to listen to me very carefully.
11:18The police are not going to come looking for you.
11:21Bull, they know what I...
11:21The charges have been dropped.
11:23They have no further interest in you.
11:25I don't believe you.
11:26Why would they do that?
11:27Because the second autopsy on your father showed,
11:30without a shadow of a doubt, you were not responsible.
11:34I was there.
11:34I know what happened.
11:35No, you don't.
11:36The head injury was not the cause of his death.
11:39And he's dead.
11:39Don't you get it?
11:40Mate, mate, for God's sake, listen to her.
11:42She knows what she's talking about.
11:44In fact, your father was drunk.
11:47His blood pressure was through the roof,
11:49and he suffered a massive heart attack.
11:51That is the coroner's finding.
11:53No further action to be taken.
11:55End of story.
11:56Do you understand me?
11:59You can't let him go.
12:00He's a bloody mess.
12:01Oh, I know that, Alf.
12:02Blind Freddy can see.
12:03He's been doing it tough.
12:03But you've got to go softly, softly with him.
12:05He's got to feel safe with us, that he belongs somewhere.
12:07Otherwise, he's just going to take off again.
12:09Yeah.
12:10I mean, have you given any more thought
12:11to how you're going to break it to him
12:12that you're his grandfather?
12:15I reckon I'm just going to have to take the leap.
12:17Well, just make damn sure you land gently.
12:25Is it okay to go in and send them now?
12:26Yes, I don't see why not.
12:27Oh, thank you.
12:28The search team's did a great job.
12:30All of you.
12:53Anyone news on your dad?
12:54No.
12:55No, not yet.
12:56Okay.
12:56And what if they can't find him?
12:58Hey, Scott, where are you going?
13:01I'm going to get back to the circle.
13:03Hey, are you okay?
13:04This is just names for packing up today.
13:08You would not believe what he has had to go with today.
13:10He's been amazing.
13:15Hey.
13:18I suppose I'm not outside of the question.
13:23What's that for?
13:24After what happened with Leah, I know today must have been hard.
13:28You did say last week you were going to get back on top of things,
13:31and you have.
13:31I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of you.
13:35How are Leah and Dan?
13:36Yeah, they're both dehydrated, but Leah's wounds redress,
13:39so it should be fine.
13:40Yeah, what about Eric?
13:44So that's it.
13:46It's over.
13:47So you put it behind you and move on.
13:49Oh, yeah, it's just like that, yeah?
13:51Nothing ever happened?
13:53Well, I don't reckon you'd want to go back to where you've been.
13:55You don't know where I've been.
13:57No.
13:58No, I don't, but it can't have been too flash.
14:00I mean, there's got to be something better.
14:02And if you could just get yourself sorted out a bit,
14:05and maybe let somebody else give you a hand.
14:07What do you care?
14:08Isn't there some law against old guys hanging around kids?
14:11You were doing it before I left.
14:12Hang on, just hang on a bit, eh?
14:14There's a very good reason why I want to keep an eye on you.
14:17Like what?
14:18Well,
14:19the bloke's got to take responsibility for his actions.
14:23I mean,
14:25there comes a time in a bloke's life
14:28when he's got to stand up and be counted.
14:31You know,
14:32put the past behind you and...
14:36Forget it.
14:37I...
14:38Another time, eh?
14:41Is that bloke of his tree or what?
14:44What was that?
14:46I couldn't, Morag.
14:47I've only got one chance with that boy,
14:48and if I make a mess of it now,
14:49well,
14:50he'll be gone for good.
14:51Well, if that wasn't showing him the door,
14:53I don't know what was.
14:54You never wanted me to talk in the first place.
14:56That was back then.
14:57I mean,
14:58that was when I hoped you'd be able to walk away from it all
15:01without...
15:01without grief and heartache.
15:03Yeah.
15:04The only thing is now,
15:05he's the one who walked away, isn't it?
15:06And for the three months he was gone,
15:07I was worried sick about him every day.
15:09Exactly.
15:10So you should tell him the truth.
15:13How can I do that, Morag?
15:14Hey, after everything he's been through.
15:16For a start,
15:17you can pull yourself together.
15:19There's a boy in there who has been through hell.
15:21Yeah, and it's all my fault.
15:22This is not about you, Alfred.
15:24It's about a boy who is utterly confused
15:27and thinks he's totally alone
15:28and no-one gives a damn.
15:30Now, how could anything you say make it worse for him?
15:33What he needs from you is the truth.
15:40I'll be back soon with your stuff, sweetie.
15:42Um, wash bag jammies,
15:43anything else you need?
15:44No, no, thanks, sorry.
15:46Won't be long.
15:52Oh, God, Barry.
15:54I don't know how I would have made it through all of this
15:56if you hadn't been here.
15:58I was about to say the same thing.
16:10I hope I'm confused.
16:14I mean, you said you don't know what you want
16:16and then you kissed me again.
16:19Yeah, I'm confused too.
16:23Maybe that's the problem.
16:26Well, I think we just both need time.
16:30Okay.
16:31Maybe what happens tomorrow?
16:34Do we just go back to the way things were,
16:36like nothing happened?
16:39What happened to us out there was terrifying.
16:42I've never been so scared in my life.
16:44Yeah, me too.
16:46I mean,
16:49how do we really know what we're feeling each other's real
16:51or
16:53just something that happens when people are in that situation?
16:59I just need some time to figure it out.
17:05Of course.
17:08Of course.
17:08I don't know.
17:32Oh, shit.
17:36Hi.
17:45Yeah, it's me.
17:51I wasn't sure.
17:53I was just wishing it.
17:57I'm so sorry, Tash.
17:59I've been a real idiot.
18:01I should have been with you.
18:03Mate, you have.
18:07You have, bro.
18:09You've been with me the whole time.
18:14You're not getting me going.
18:17I love you, Tash.
18:19I swear I'll never hurt you again.
18:45I'll never hurt you again.
18:51I reckon I could think of something.
18:52Oh, would you get out of my face, you freak?
18:54I've got nothing but trash by you and everyone else in this dump.
18:57Why should I hang around?
18:59Because your grandad's asking you to.
19:07What are you talking about?
19:09Just plain, simple truth.
19:11Your father was my son.
19:13I just wish I'd told you that at the funeral.
19:16You better hear him out here.
19:17You better hear him out here.
19:20You would have liked your grandma.
19:22She was just a kid when your dad was born.
19:25We both were.
19:27But her family sent her away and had your dad adopted out.
19:33I didn't know anything about it.
19:36I thought she'd run out on me.
19:39That was just about the cruelest thing they could have done to us.
19:44But that's how things were done back then.
19:47She didn't get in touch with me again until two or three months ago when she was dying.
19:53That was the first I knew about it.
19:56And by the time I tracked your father down through his adoptive parents,
20:01well, two days later he was dead and you were being charged with manslaughter.
20:10Is this all true?
20:13Yes, it is.
20:17You just let me wear it.
20:20Mate, after all the ups and downs we'd had,
20:22I tried to find a way to build a bridge between us,
20:26but I just messed it up.
20:29Mate, don't go.
20:31Please don't go.
20:32There's a home, a bed, a hot meal waiting for you.
20:46Eric, we can sort this out, mate.
21:01It's suddenly clear, I will always need you here.
21:10Hold me in your arms, don't let me go.
21:14I want to stay forever, closer each day.
21:21Home and away.
21:26I want to stay forever.
