RFDS

To our new SMO. Cheers.

What did Nate say? Uh.

Did you forget to call him? Talk to him tomorrow.

There's been a car accident. It's Rhiannon and Pete's brother.

Stay with me.

We attempted resuscitation five times.

We did everything we could for her.

Uncle Pete.

I do need to get my shit together. And this is your house now, too.

Hey, Pete, we've got Wayne on the line.

My name's Mira. You've been in an accident.

Are you guys married?

Good boyfriend. He's a doctor.

Good for you, sister. Hang on to that one.

And don't feel guilty. I'm good here.

I can take care of Uncle Timmy. He took care of me, so.

Having Mr Perfect as a father is great when you're a kid,

but it's bloody hard when you're a grown man.

I want to be an engineer.

I know Dad drove into that tree on purpose.

He wasn't well.

I want to do something to honour your mum at the ball.

Both of us in our business would like to pick up the shortfall

and fully fund the Rhiannon Emerson Mental Health Clinic.

You did it. (LAUGHS) Yes! See.

What's the deal with the Southern Cross anyway?

Does it actually point south?

What's here means something.

I'm going back to London. I don't want to leave.

White Cliffs Traffic, King Air flight 257

is 20 nautical miles to the south, inbound on descent.

Passing 1-0-000 we'll be joining down with Runway One Two.

Circuit 3-0 White Cliffs.

All right. Last one.

Thank God.

Chariot. Oh, that is a good one.

That's all about the direction that you're heading.

Nor-North east. Hey, Mira.

Affirmative Track 005, Radio 185.

You want a go, don't you?

No, I'm good, thanks.

Are you scared?

Of a mental-health nurse who believes in tarot cards?

A little bit, yeah.

I told you, I work holistically. Oh.

Are you worried it'll be bad?

I don't get worried.

Oh, you worried it'll be good?

Come on.

OK.

See, what exactly is the point of this game anyway?

Well, what is it? Oh, just death.

That's not bad. Doesn't sound great.

It means new beginnings. Change is coming.

It's a pretty big change.

Last time I picked it, I quit drinking, my job, and my marriage

all within three months.

That's good. You need a bit of a shakeup.

What does that mean?

We're on approach, folks.

How about a little more cabin prep, a little less tempting fate, Petey?

Don't blame me.

So how busy does this rodeo get anyway?

Hundreds of giant cockies riding angry bulls and motorbikes?

Fairly busy.

: How's sunny Dubbo.

Wet again. Why aren't you sleeping?

People seem to keep falling off things.

Oh, when's the big date? What date?

I thought you had a section briefing.

I do.

Who's the date?

Dr. Hottie.

You know, I thought becoming Ops Manager would get me some respect.

Yeah, I'm rebelling.

Ever since you became manager of an entire section,

I'm starting to have mummy issues all over again.

I love all my kids the same.

That's just what Mum used to say.

I've got a doctor update, if anyone's interested.

What, they finally found us one?

Unfortunately, no. And the arvo doctor's just pulled out sick.

Oh, what?

Who's Dr. Hottie?

Dr. Scotty. The nephrologist?

The hot nephrologist.

Anyway, I've left a message for the backup.

I'll let you know when he confirms. Now get home and get some sleep.

White Cliffs Rodeo. What do you reckon the chances of that are?

We live in hope?

Harry, cap with one.

There you go, sir.

What do I owe you? It's on the house.

Thanks.

You have to take this, though, OK?

A couple of coupons, handy information.

Any questions we're here all day.

No worries. Thanks. See ya.

What? Nothing.

You just remind me of your mum sometimes. That's all.

Yeah, g'day, White Cliffs. It's good to be back, boys and girls,

ladies and gents, to the greatest rodeo in all of Australia.

The crowd is hot, the beers are cold,

and O, H & S stands for One Hell of a Shindig.

So what's the attraction?

Uh, the thrill of not dying when you fall off, suppose.

You ever done it? Once.

My brother was a cowboy. Once was enough for me.

Did it hurt?

Just my pride. Why, you wanna have a go?

I think if I wanted to awkwardly ride something for eight seconds,

I would have stayed with my ex.

Now buckle up and watch these lads get bucked off.

Let's get this party started, shall we?

Let the mayhem begin.

Yeah, mate.

I think I'm starting to get it.

Yeah, ladies and gentlemen,

we're just about ready to get underway

with the next man into the arena.

This young man can tip the fur off of a grizzly bear -

the ringer from Iniminga, let's welcome Cameron Archer.

He's come down extremely hard. Cam.

Can we have our medical team enter the arena straight away, please?

OK, yep.

What's his name, mate? Cameron. Cameron Archer.

You hear me, Cameron?

Right, stretcher. Get that bull back.

OK, manual inline stabilisation. Nice and easy while I get this off.

You got him?

Oh, can you please shut the...

Speak.

Sorry, did I wake you?

No. Mopoke outside has a death wish.

I think they protected, aren't they?

Yeah, well, they're going to need the Mafia.

Just easy, easy. Slow up a bit. Slow up a bit. There we go.

Let me guess. Male, twenties, bull related.

You're a savant. Possible head and spinal.

But I'll give you a call in ten with a sitrep.

Hey, are you all right?

Am I dead? Not quite, mate.

Then why is the angel here?

You have brain damage is what you have, mate.

Nah, that's his regular brain.

All right, Casanova, let's get you in the tent. Have a look at you.

Any medications.

Lithium, epilim, and XXXX.

Are you bipolar? Mate, I'm just about tripolar.

Yeah. Alright.

Any past injuries or illnesses?

Appendix. Ankle. Wrist.

I've been picked up by the flying doctor three times.

Why hasn't it ever been you?

I'm on the mental health clinic.

Hey, well, that's lucky because I'm a basket case.

You had a feed today, mate? A couple of snags.

We'll get you into town for a CT,

just to make sure there's nothing wrong with your head.

Don't need a CT to tell you that. I'll be right.

It's not my first rodeo.

Hey. Sorry to bother you.

Prawny, how are ya?

Oh. Oh, my God.

What happened?

I walked in front of a dart board.

That'll do it. Um, Chaya, can you just...

Yeah, take a seat here. Prawny, was it?

Or prawn head. Whatever works best for you.

No, no, no. Here, take the bed.

Looks like you need it more than I do.

Thanks for the Panadol, doc.

Hang on. Hang on. You... you still got to get looked at.

You've had a major concussion. I'll be right.

Well, I strongly recommend you get a scan and you rest.

Promise I won't sue ya.

Well, come back if you have any nausea, headaches and, Cam...

No driving, no drinking.

Oi, where are you going? Don't be an idiot.

It's got me this far. Hope I see you around.

Are you going to stop him?

I can't force him to get help?

Yeah, well, can you try a little bit harder than that, Pete? Like...

I can't get you to do the dishes.

You want me to get bloody Billy the Kid on a plane?

Yeah, but he's clearly... I've got a bit going on, Tay.
