00:01Just to hand, we've managed to obtain the final radio transmission sent by the pilot of the helicopter which crashed
00:07somewhere in the remote Ulmurra Ranges late this afternoon.
00:11Mayday, Mayday, 05, the place has rapid direct, huge issue, I'm going to drop.
00:18Visibility 0, instrument's gone, we're going down, the thing is 05 going down.
00:24You're from that stinking radio station.
00:26Can you tell me what was running through your mind when you first heard that...
00:30I'll do your life.
00:32Please just do it.
00:35And don't come back!
00:38Breathe, Natalie.
00:39I think she may be going through her mature labour.
00:42What?
00:43Oh, no, no, no, I can't breathe.
00:45Breathe, come on, breathe.
00:46I'm so sorry, I can't have the baby yet.
00:50You know we belong together
00:54You and I forever and ever
00:58No matter where you are
01:03You're my guiding star
01:06You're my guiding star
01:08Hold me in your arms
01:11Don't let me go
01:13I want to stay forever
01:17Oh, sorry, stay
01:20Home and away
01:24Where's the doctor?
01:25She's coming, love, the nurse has gone to get her, but just stay calm.
01:28Oh, this can't be happening, I don't want to have this baby yet.
01:31Please, breathe.
01:32Oh, thank God.
01:33Oh, please make it stop, please.
01:34Tasha, I want you to try and be normal.
01:36What's the blood pressure?
01:37It was up a bit, 140 over 70.
01:39Remember how we were talking about contractions?
01:41Is that what the pains feel like?
01:42Yes, please make this stop, I don't have it yet.
01:45Okay, now I just need to feel your tummy.
01:47Come on, lie back.
01:49There you go, okay.
01:52When did the pains start?
01:55I don't know, I don't know.
01:57About ten minutes ago, I think she's had about four really sharp ones.
02:01My tummy feels really tight.
02:03It looks like you're having contractions.
02:05She can't be, she's only 26 weeks.
02:08Tasha, I understand your husband, Robbie, who was on the helicopter that went missing.
02:14Emotional stress can often be a trigger, but sometimes contractions will subside all on their own.
02:18Yeah, but you don't know that for sure.
02:20Is she going to have this baby or not?
02:22I don't know yet.
02:23I just need to examine you.
02:24If contractions continue like this and your cervix is dilating, then there's a fair chance you're in labour.
02:30Oh, God.
02:31What does that mean for the baby?
02:33I'll get the paediatrician to come and talk to you about that.
02:35Please, just tell me what that means.
02:37I understand how anxious you are, but all we can do right now is just wait and see.
02:41Now, in the meantime, you have to try and calm down, okay, because all this anxiety is just making things
02:45worse for you and your baby.
02:47Okay?
02:48I'll be right back.
02:49Come on, sweetie.
02:50I'll be at the doctor.
02:51You've got to stay calm down.
02:52You have to give the baby.
02:53You have to.
02:54Come on, please.
02:57Any word?
02:58No.
02:59Where'd you get that?
03:00I told you not to read it.
03:01It doesn't matter, okay?
03:02Just do me a favour.
03:03Call the station again.
03:04Find out if they've got any news, okay?
03:06I want to know what's going on out there.
03:07Yeah, I just called them.
03:07Nothing's changed.
03:09And anyway, Dad's joined the search now, so he's going to know before anyone else.
03:12I've got to get out there with him.
03:13No, you're in no condition to go anywhere.
03:14I can't just stay here.
03:16I've got to go find her.
03:17No, you're not sliding down.
03:18You've been...
03:19Just give me a hint.
03:20Jack, don't tell me what to do.
03:21Look, I know that you want to be out there.
03:24I know you want to find her, but you're sick.
03:27And if you do this, you're only going to get sicker.
03:30Now, I know it's hard, but you've got to leave this one to the people who can actually do some
03:34good out there, okay?
03:36I just want her to be back.
03:37I just want her to be okay.
03:38I just want her to be okay.
04:08I just want her to be open a little.
04:09Oh, God.
04:10She won't leave the label.
04:11I'm afraid so.
04:12No, it can't be.
04:13No, it's too early.
04:15What's going to happen to the baby, please?
04:17Well, babies born at 26 weeks usually suffer many complications, which means we can't guarantee their survival.
04:24I'm going to give you something.
04:25Let's do something.
04:27I'm going to give you some medication.
04:28There's a good chance it will stop the contractions, okay?
04:31I'll go get it.
04:32But please understand, there's no guarantee it will work.
04:35Cash, are you listening?
04:37Are you listening?
04:39This is going to work hard.
04:40You hear me?
04:40This is going to work you and your baby.
04:42You're going to be fine.
04:44You're going to be fine.
04:46Okay?
04:49Yeah, well, we've caught up with the recent lakes mob and we're about to get underway, over.
04:53Have they been able to narrow down the crash site at all yet, over?
04:56No, mate.
04:57It's a bit like a needle in a haystack out here.
04:58There's no doubt about that.
05:00Look, anyway, we're all set to move, so we'll keep you posted, Alf.
05:02Over.
05:03Yeah, righto.
05:04Thanks, Alf.
05:05Excellent.
05:11Hey.
05:12How are you holding up?
05:13I'm fine, Sal.
05:15Did you get on to Moray?
05:16Yeah, yeah, she's on the way back.
05:17Good, good.
05:20Why don't you take a break?
05:22There's too much to do, Sal.
05:24Oh, the search teams can handle it.
05:25Well, it can't hurt with me giving them a hand from up here, can it?
05:28I know, but you need to rest.
05:29You're not looking well.
05:30Sal, I'm fine, okay?
05:36Is he okay?
05:38I think he's just worried about Martha.
05:41I thought I might head to the hospital after this and see how Mac is doing.
05:44Oh, okay.
05:45Yeah, he's pretty upset about Martha, too.
05:47I just want to make sure he's okay.
05:48Yeah, that's okay.
05:49I wasn't saying anything.
05:52I wish Rick would see it that way instead of giving me the cold shoulder all the time.
05:56Well, how do you think he feels when the only person you seem to be worried about is Mac and
06:01how he's dealing with it?
06:03Yeah, but there's more to it than that.
06:05Yesterday at the hospital, we got into a massive fight and Rick told me he still loved me.
06:11Well, how do you feel about that?
06:14How am I supposed to feel?
06:16I mean, could he pick a worse time to say something like that?
06:18Especially after everything that's happened.
06:20Oh, I don't think he would have said it to upset you.
06:22I think he's just worried about you, Cassie.
06:25When he sees you with Mac or he gets scared that the two of you are going to end up
06:28back together.
06:29We all do.
06:30How many times do I have to say it?
06:31That's not going to happen.
06:32I'm only trying to do the right thing, that's all.
06:34Yeah, I know you are.
06:35But Rick's hurting, too.
06:37So the way he's acting, it is kind of understandable.
06:41Don't you think?
06:52Hey, have you heard anything?
06:55There's been no updates on the radio, nothing.
06:58Maybe I should get out there, you know, help the search teams and...
07:00Don't be stupid.
07:02They've got heaps of people out there already, people who are fit and healthy, unlike you.
07:06They're going to find them.
07:08I'll never forgive myself if I don't see her again.
07:10It's the way I left things.
07:12Yeah, Macca, listen to me.
07:12I've got to make it right.
07:14I don't want her to be ashamed of me.
07:15Okay, but running out there with your arm in a sling isn't the way.
07:19You just have to stay strong.
07:20They will find her, all of them.
07:25What did the doctor say about your arm anyway?
07:27Is it going to be all right?
07:29Yeah, well, they're really happy with the way it's healing.
07:31I'm starting to get some of the feeling and movement back.
07:33There's no sign of infection either, so it looks like they won't have to operate after all.
07:36That's great news.
07:37See, there's something to be positive about.
07:39I could have handled losing my arm, Cass.
07:42If I lose Martha, nothing's ever going to fix that.
07:50The contractions aren't stopping.
07:52What about the drugs you gave up?
07:54They need time to take effect.
07:56She's hyperventilating.
07:57Tasha, listen.
07:58I know it hurts.
07:59I know you're scared, but you need to get your breathing under control.
08:02I feel a little dizzy.
08:03Yes, because you're panicking and it's only making things worse.
08:06Now, I want you to breathe in and out of this.
08:08The gas will take the edge off the contractions, okay?
08:10No, I can't.
08:11It's bad for the baby.
08:12I can't.
08:13I can't.
08:14I want Robbie.
08:15Tasha, if Robbie was here, he'd be telling you to do what the doctor says.
08:18I can't do this.
08:19I want Robbie.
08:20Tasha, listen to me.
08:21All this adrenaline, your body's pumping out, will stop the drugs from working and bring
08:25on the labour more intensely now.
08:27You need to calm down and this will help.
08:29Please, please, please, please.
08:30No!
08:32No!
08:34You'll know when I may, mate, but I haven't got that information yet, all right?
08:38Just, I'll have to call you back.
08:39My mobile's ringing.
08:43Alf Stewart.
08:44Oh, he's got four phones on the gown.
08:46He won't let us answer any of them.
08:48Yeah, it's all too much for him.
08:50He's extra stressed and worrying about Martha.
08:52Oh, maybe this coffee will persuade him to take a break.
08:55Right, yeah, the north-west perimeter, that's what they told me, mate.
08:59Ah!
08:59Strike me, flaming handsome, Colleen!
09:01Well, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to bang into me.
09:04Yeah, is there anything you do know?
09:06She's just trying to help, Mr Stewart.
09:08I think you need to take a break.
09:09You'll take a break when I'm good and ready, Sel.
09:11In the meantime, just keep out of my way and let me do my job, eh?
09:16Hey, Tony, it's Alf.
09:17Do you read me over?
09:18Yeah, I'm here, Alf.
09:19Over.
09:20How are you travelling?
09:21Over.
09:22There's nothing to report.
09:23There's no sightings, no records.
09:26I've got to tell you, though, mate, it's rough going out here.
09:29Over.
09:30You're up there on the radio.
09:31Over.
09:32Ah, nowhere near it.
09:33It's taken us all morning to a couple of k's.
09:35Over.
09:36Oh, no, thanks.
09:37No.
09:38You really think we've only done a couple of k's?
09:40Because we've been walking forever.
09:41Yeah, I know.
09:42But we hardly might have dent in this.
09:44Look, shall we?
09:45I keep thinking, a bunch of fit blokes like us just knackered after a few hours.
09:49What are the others going to be like, especially if they're injured?
09:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:52We don't know that they're injured, OK?
09:54The pilot could have made an emergency landing.
09:55What in this?
09:57OK, look, I'll be honest with you, OK?
10:01Being out here is going to push everybody to their limit.
10:03All we've got to do, all we've got to do, is just focus and keep moving while we've got
10:08some daylight, all right?
10:11That's anyway.
10:12You need a break, OK?
10:14Don't be afraid to ask.
10:15Yeah, I'm right.
10:15I'm just tired.
10:24Shouldn't the drugs be working by now?
10:25You're not being given a chance.
10:26Tasha, you need to stop panicking and focus your breathing.
10:30It's OK.
10:32It's OK.
10:33It's normal medication for cause of nausea.
10:34It's OK, my love.
10:35Pulse is 153.
10:37Right.
10:37Tasha, listen to me.
10:38I can't do something.
10:39Why are you doing something?
10:39Yes, listen to me, Tasha.
10:41Unless you calm yourself down, your baby's going to be born.
10:44Please help me.
10:45The only person who can stop this baby is you.
10:48I can't.
10:49I can't.
10:50Tasha, you can do this, sweetheart.
10:51You have to do it for your baby.
10:53You have to.
10:55Thanks, Mrs Stewart.
10:57What did he say?
10:58Have they found anything?
10:59The search teams are finding it hard going.
11:01The bush is really thick.
11:03All the more reason for me to get out there, Cassie.
11:04No, just forget it, OK?
11:07Who have we sent out there to help?
11:09A few people.
11:11Tony, Rick.
11:13What?
11:14Nothing.
11:15Cass, I saw the way you hesitated when you mentioned Rick's name.
11:18What's going on?
11:19He's just been acting weird around me.
11:22And he was annoyed yesterday because I was in here with you the whole time after we heard about the
11:26crash.
11:28Right.
11:29So he thinks I don't deserve you coming to see me?
11:31Well, I thought it was that.
11:32But I kind of forgot that he's hurting about Martha too.
11:36I should have been there for him, but I wasn't.
11:38And now he's not talking to me.
11:41Cass, I don't think you need to feel guilty.
11:43No, I wasn't.
11:44But I am now.
11:47Look, this is a rough time for everyone.
11:50You included.
11:52Yeah, I'm glad I stayed with you, though.
11:57But you're right.
11:58I should get some rest.
11:59Yeah.
12:00And let you do the same.
12:01All right.
12:01Yeah.
12:02I'll come back later.
12:03Yeah.
12:03Okay.
12:04Yeah.
12:05See ya.
12:21See ya.
12:24She's beautiful, isn't she?
12:26Like an angel.
12:27Yeah, an angel who wears boots under her wedding gown.
12:30Huh.
12:31Yeah, they're great, aren't they?
12:34I was just thinking about that day.
12:37I mean, she went out to Believer's farm looking for Tasha.
12:40That was amazing.
12:42Really took guts.
12:44Yeah, in the time, what was it?
12:45You beat her in a game of pool and she did the nudie run down the beach?
12:48Mm-hmm.
12:48See, that's why Martha's gonna get through this.
12:51She's got guts.
12:53I don't know what I'd do if I lost her.
12:57I know that to have this happen on top of the fire isn't easy.
13:00You're not gonna lose Martha.
13:03Not if you keep reminding yourself of how strong she is.
13:06And hey, if that doesn't work, think how ticked off she'd be if she knew that you were doubting her.
13:12Hey, I'm sorry I'm late with your meds, Jack.
13:15I've been caught up with Tasha.
13:17Oh, what's up with Tash?
13:20My teeth hurt.
13:23My eyes are all splotchy.
13:25What does she mean, her eyes are all splotchy?
13:27Tasha, I want you to focus your breathing for me.
13:31Please.
13:33Don't, what the hell is going on?
13:35Can't you up a meds or something?
13:36I've never seen a solid of a tree.
13:37I can't give her any more.
13:39It's too dangerous.
13:39I might have to stop the drugs altogether.
13:41Well, what are you gonna do?
13:42Our only hope is to calm her down, but if I can't, I'll have to start preparing for her to
13:46give birth.
13:46No, no.
13:47No, you can't, please.
13:48You've got to do something.
13:49She can't lose this baby.
13:50She's almost in full-blown labour.
13:53Tasha, Tash, you listen to me.
13:55You have got to get a hold of yourself.
13:57Do you hear me?
13:58You can't lose this baby.
14:00Is that what you want?
14:01Tasha.
14:02This is a really bad time.
14:03He's a friend.
14:04Julie, tell me what's been happening.
14:05Please, let me talk to her.
14:06Please.
14:07Nothing else has worked.
14:08Okay.
14:09Okay.
14:10Tasha.
14:11Tasha, it's Jack.
14:13I want you to look at me.
14:15Tasha, can you hear me?
14:17Tasha, come on.
14:18Look at me.
14:19Look at me, Tasha.
14:48Tasha.
14:49The baby can't fend for itself, Tash.
14:51You have to do that for the baby and for Robbie.
14:55Okay.
14:56It's really simple.
14:57All you have to do is keep holding onto my hand and saying to yourself, everything's going
15:02to be okay, over and over again.
15:05What if it's not okay?
15:06It is.
15:07Okay.
15:07Just say it and believe it.
15:11It's going to be okay.
15:13That's right.
15:14Now keep going.
15:16It's going to be okay.
15:21There's been no sign of hope out here today.
15:24Searchers on the ground are finding the terrain difficult.
15:27They're exhausted and they've made little progress.
15:30Even if anyone has survived the crash, the chances of them surviving with injuries in such
15:37harsh conditions are very slim.
15:55Martha says that she wants us to get a property out of town and do a bit of farming.
15:59Not me, but she can grow the veggies and look after the animals.
16:03I think I'll just stick to being a cop.
16:05Sounds good.
16:06Yeah, it's just an idea at this stage, but I'm starting to think that it's not a bad
16:11one.
16:13And I'm going to tell her that when I see her again.
16:15Yeah, she'll like that.
16:18Hey, you and Robbie could come around and ride the horses.
16:21It'd be cool.
16:22How are the pains, Tasha?
16:24Yeah, they're not so bad.
16:26I think they're going.
16:27Good.
16:28Well done, both of you.
16:30Over the last 90 minutes, your contractions have started to ease and your pulse and blood
16:34pressure are back to normal, so, well, it's a big improvement all round.
16:38As long as you stay calm like this and the medication continues to kick in, we have a
16:42good chance of stopping this baby now.
16:46Tom.
16:48Do you really think the baby's going to be okay?
16:51Yes, I do.
16:52Thanks to Jack.
17:09Yeah, no worries, Alf.
17:10I'll get someone onto it.
17:11Over.
17:12Sorry, mate.
17:12I know you made this fucking hole in the head.
17:14Oh, it's not your fault, mate.
17:16Don't worry.
17:16I'll keep you posted out.
17:18What was all that about?
17:19Oh, Matt was going to run it from the hospital.
17:21They reckon about an hour and a half ago.
17:22Oh, what?
17:24Yeah, he's heading our way, apparently.
17:27I know he just wants to help, but he's not going to be much good to us out here, is
17:30he?
17:31So, what do we do?
17:33I don't know.
17:34I guess I've got to send someone back to the access road, I guess.
17:38Right, right, right.
17:40Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
17:41Okay, just don't go wearing yourself out.
17:43No, it's fine.
17:44I'll sort it out.
17:48That's a good, strong heartbeat.
17:50Oh, okay.
17:51Everything appears to have settled down here, so I think we can safely say premature labour
17:55has been averted.
17:56Well done.
17:57Oh, girl, you scared me half to death.
18:00I knew you could do it.
18:02It's all thanks to you, matey.
18:04No, it wasn't me.
18:05Tasha's the one who did it.
18:06Hey, if I ever need a pep talk, I'll be calling you for sure.
18:08You can add me to that list.
18:10We'll keep a close eye on you for the rest of the pregnancy, Tasha, but any more signs
18:14of early contractions, and you'll need to resort to bed rest.
18:16See?
18:17You're going to be fine.
18:18Dr. Ridley, thank you so much.
18:20You're welcome, Tasha.
18:25My baby's safe because of you.
18:29And when Robbie gets back, he's going to say thanks, too.
18:33I'm looking forward to that.
18:34Yeah, me too.
18:36Sweetie, I'll see you in a minute, okay?
18:38Anyway, how are you holding up, Jack?
18:39Maybe we should get you back to bed.
18:41No, I'd like to stay, if that's okay with you.
18:43Yeah, yeah, I'd like that.
18:57Macca!
19:01Oh, you idiot.
19:04Macca, wait!
19:05You won't be a clown, mate.
19:05You won't last five minutes.
19:07Get out of my life.
19:09Macca, wait!
19:11We tried to stop him.
19:12What are you doing?
19:13I'm going to find Martha.
19:15You can't be out here.
19:16Just leave it alone, mate, all right?
19:17Don't be an idiot.
19:18Even the people in good health are struggling.
19:20And look at you, you should be in hospital.
19:21I should be out here looking for my sister, okay?
19:23That's what I'm going to do, so just stay out of it.
19:25What are you trying to prove?
19:26You've got no supplies, no water.
19:28You're going to kill yourself.
19:37Macca, give it up.
19:38The further you go in, the harder it's going to be to carry you out.
19:40So stop following me, mate.
19:42You know what your problem is?
19:42You can't stand it when anyone else is right.
19:44I can't stand little yap-yaps like you following me around, so get lost, mate.
19:47I don't even know what Cassie's saw in you.
19:49I knew what that's what this is all about, isn't it?
19:51Look, I'm trying to stop you from hurting yourself.
19:53No, you're jealous.
19:54Do you think Cassie cares more about me than she cares about you?
19:56I'll leave Cassie out of this.
19:57She brought her up.
19:58Admit it.
19:59You won't for me to go down so you can carry me out of here like some hero.
20:01I'm not good in front of her.
20:02You know what?
20:02That's a great little story.
20:03You think what you want to think.
20:04It doesn't matter what I think.
20:06She knows I love her more than you did.
20:07That's all it matters.
20:08That's why you smack her around.
20:10Is it because you love her?
20:11I don't know why she still cares about you, but if you think she's taking you back, then
20:14you're dreaming.
20:14She knows that I've changed, mate.
20:16I don't really care about her.
20:17You only want her back because you know you can't have her.
20:20If you really loved her, then you wouldn't be out here acting like an idiot and making
20:23her worry.
20:25You know what?
20:25You want to stay out here and kill yourself?
20:26Then do it.
20:27I'm not going to stop you.
20:37Macca!
20:39Macca, help me.
20:40I'm over here.
20:40Macca!
20:43Macca!
20:44Macca, help!
20:45Macca, help me!
20:48Macca!

20:50Mate, help me.
