00:00You know what I think? It's only good things for both of us from here on out.
00:13Good. Listen.
00:14DC estimate 8 after sudden collapse.
00:17Begin URO on standby. How is she?
00:21Let's get her straight into imaging for an urgent CT of the brain and arteries. Let's
00:29move people.
00:30What's happened to the brain?
00:31Well, no more once we've done the scans. Let's go.
00:33Felicity has had a brain aneurysm.
00:35How'd the surgery go?
00:36They managed to clip the aneurysm, but there had been some substantial bleeding.
00:40Can I ask you a question? Will Felicity die from this?
00:43The next few hours and days will be critical.
00:47What's that?
00:48Begin URO. Begin URO on the phone now and increase the mannitol by 0.5.
00:51Come on, Felicity. Don't do this.
00:55What happened?
00:56I think she's had a secondary bleed.
00:58I didn't see any flexion. Did you?
01:13Hey.
01:14Hey, mate.
01:15How was the engagement party last night?
01:17Oh, it was awesome. Cash and Eden were stoked.
01:20Should've come.
01:21Oh, had a little bit going on with Leah, but I saw the set-up down here. Looked great.
01:26Yeah, it was.
01:27Apparently, everyone kicked it on the sold-out.
01:29Haven't seen Eden today, so it must have been a big one.
01:32You didn't stay?
01:33No, Bree had the night shift, so we bailed early.
01:37Hey, have you guys heard anything from the hospital?
01:40About what?
01:41Felicity. One of my lifesavers told me she was taken away in an ambulance last night.
01:45What? What happened?
01:46I don't know. Apparently, she was unconscious, though, when they took her.
01:50Maybe that's why Bree isn't home yet.
01:52Well, obviously, you haven't heard anything from her.
01:54No, no messages either.
01:56Oh, well, if Bree's there, she's in good hands.
02:00Hey, any news on Irene?
02:02We just got a call this morning.
02:03Yeah, which was lovely. And unexpected, because she only left yesterday.
02:08How is she?
02:09She's okay. Better, anyway.
02:11That's great.
02:13Look, I do know where she is, if that's what's worrying you.
02:17She sent a text to Xander and me.
02:19Right. Sorry, I just didn't want to betray her confidence.
02:22Totally, I get it.
02:23Hey, look.
02:24Hey.
02:25Hey, I don't suppose you've seen Bree this morning?
02:27I think she's at work. Why?
02:29You haven't heard?
02:31Heard what? What's going on?
02:33Hey, Bree. It's me again.
02:35I'm just wondering how Flick is.
02:38Just call me back when you can.
02:54Come on in. Pick up.
03:10Can I get you anything?
03:12I don't understand why they've taken her for a second scan.
03:15What does that mean?
03:17They're probably just being extra thorough.
03:20Which is good, right?
03:23How is she?
03:25The CT revealed that Felicity's had a second bleed.
03:29Okay.
03:30Okay, so what happens now?
03:32Does she go back to surgery?
03:34Unfortunately, surgery won't fix this.
03:36What fixes it?
03:40Whatever it is, let's do it.
03:42There's nothing we can do, Kash.
03:44There's every indication that the second bleed has resulted in brain death.
03:52We will need to perform a series of tests to confirm...
03:55Oh, yeah, I reckon you should probably complete the confirmation test before we do any more.
03:59I'm not going to listen to a single thing they're saying.
04:01They haven't even finished the tests yet. They could just be wrong about this.
04:03I wish we were, Kash.
04:05How does this work?
04:07What...
04:09How do you... Can you be sure that she's...
04:12There's a set of neurological assessments we need to do to confirm the absence of brain activity.
04:17Two doctors perform the tests,
04:19and they have to agree to the same result before a diagnosis of brain death can be made.
04:24And even then, the tests are repeated so we can be 100% sure.
04:28And you two will be doing these tests?
04:31Yeah.
04:34You can be there if you like.
04:36It might help you get your head around what's about to happen.
04:39How would I want to be there?
04:42Felicity's going to come through this.
04:44You'll let us know when you're done?
04:46Yeah.
04:56We ready?
05:12More papillary response to light.
05:17Applying pressure to the superorbital ridge.
05:22No movement or grimacing.
05:25I concur.
05:28Testing cranial nerve four and five.
05:36No response to stimulation.
05:41I concur.
05:43Caloric test.
05:46Caloric test.
05:57Oh, I forgot.
05:59I brought a bag with a change of clothes for you.
06:03The test might take a while if you want to grab a shower and...
06:06If you want to go, then go.
06:12I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
06:14It's okay. It's okay.
06:20No response.
06:26Last one.
06:31Turning off oxygen and vent.
06:45Come on.
06:49Hey, what's going on? Is Flick okay?
06:53Uh, no.
06:55Not really.
06:58It's an off time.
07:05First assessment reveals no brain activity.
07:15But she didn't seem sick or anything.
07:17No. No, she didn't.
07:19One minute she was just standing there having a drink, talking a tonne.
07:26Hey, um...
07:28How did everything go?
07:30Why don't you guys come with me?
07:35Um, I'll wait out here.
07:41I'm sorry.
07:43I'm sorry, Cash.
07:45There was no brain activity apparent in any of our assessments.
07:50Okay.
07:53Okay.
07:57You said she had to do the test twice?
07:59Which means she could do better on the next run, right?
08:02Mate, you need to understand...
08:04I'm not your mate.
08:06Um, so how long until the next assessment?
08:10I'm waiting for the neurologist to be here for it.
08:12In the meantime, I'd like to organise you a social worker.
08:16I don't want a social worker.
08:18I just want to stay here until the next set of tests, is that alright?
08:21Yes, of course.
08:22Maybe she'll hear my voice and she'll wake up.
08:24Hey, Cash.
08:25Cash, are you listening?
08:26You were in a coma after your car accident and you came out of it.
08:31This isn't the same thing, Cash.
08:33We'll see.
08:41He's not getting it, is he?
08:43No, but you can't blame him.
08:45I mean, no-one wants to hear news like that.
08:47It's his little sister.
08:48There's really no hope.
08:50I mean, there must be some who wouldn't bother doing a second or a third test, right?
08:53I know it's confusing, but we're just following guidelines.
08:56It's to ensure nothing is missed.
08:59I can pretty much guarantee that after such a catastrophic bleed,
09:04the second round of assessments, they're going to show the same as the first.
09:08So we just have to accept that Felicity's...
09:11I don't know.
09:13I'm sorry.
09:15Felicity is clinically dead.
09:23Is there anything I can do for you, mate?
09:25Is there anything I can do for anyone?
09:27Thank you for showing up, but Cash doesn't need an audience for what comes next.
09:32Yeah, yeah, for sure.
09:34Tonya, I didn't mean for you to go.
09:36Oh, no, no, it's OK.
09:39Can you just let me know what happens at the next audits?
09:42Yeah, I will. I will.
09:48Just let us know if you need anything.
09:50Yeah. Yeah, I will.
09:55Just let us know if you need anything.
09:57Yeah. Yeah, I will.
10:16Are you sure you want to be here for this?
10:18I have to be.
10:20We're ready to start.
10:22I'll talk you through everything that's happening,
10:25but you need to know some of this might be confronting.
10:28I'm sorry, I can't stay.
10:30It's OK.
10:31I'm here, just outside.
10:36Cash, are you OK?
10:39Let's get this done.
10:42SIGHS
10:47Checking the pupils for response to light stimulus.
10:54No response.
10:56Breathe.
10:58Applying pressure to the cerebral cortex.
11:03No movement in the body muscle.
11:06No response to light stimulation.
11:11No response.
11:26Take a breath, Flynn.
11:35Take a breath.
11:42BEEP
11:50Second assessment confirms no brain activity.
12:12BEEP
12:18Test the gun.
12:24Breathe.
12:26Why don't we take a seat?
12:34They did very well.
12:37Nothing's changed since the first assessment.
12:40There was no brain activity present.
12:44She's never waking up, Cash.
12:47I'm so sorry for your loss.
12:51As difficult as this is,
12:53Cash and I need to talk about turning off the life support.
12:57The social worker's on her way
12:59and they'll help walk you through the next steps.
13:01No.
13:03I know that you said you didn't need the support,
13:06but it's really important that...
13:08No, I'm not...
13:10Sorry, I'm not doing that. I'm not turning the machines off.
13:14You're in shock.
13:16That's completely understandable.
13:20There's no immediate rush to work out a time.
13:23It's nothing to work out.
13:25It's not happening.
13:39BEEP
13:41Yeah, yeah.
13:43Yeah, how are you?
13:47Thanks for letting me know.
13:52You go to the hospital?
13:55It's Eden.
13:58Second lot of tests are done.
14:01You all right?
14:03There's no change.
14:05Mate, I'm sorry.
14:09I was just standing there next to me at the party, you know.
14:12We were talking about how things change.
14:17How does something like this happen?
14:19I wish I had an answer.
14:21The brain bleeds are random
14:25and deadly.
14:30Still, she looks like she's just sleeping.
14:34I mean, there's tubes and stuff, but...
14:38She's still breathing.
14:40I can see her heart beating on the monitor.
14:42It's not her, Tony.
14:44It's the ventilator.
14:47Without it, there would be no heartbeat.
14:49There would be no breathing.
15:08Hey, Abs.
15:10Um...
15:11Can you just give me a call back when you get this message?
15:15I don't care about the wallet.
15:17I just really want to hear your voice.
15:21Okay.
15:39Thanks.
15:46How are you doing?
15:49It's not really about me right now, so...
15:52It's about everyone who cares about Felicity.
15:59I'm sorry you lost your friend.
16:02Me too.
16:03Me too, but I can't really think about that right now.
16:06I just need to focus on Cash and...
16:10what comes next.
16:11I understand.
16:14But he has some time to come to terms with it.
16:17How much time?
16:20We'll give him as long as we possibly can.
16:26But in saying that, she can't stay on the machines forever.
16:36I gotta go check on him.
16:38Yep.
16:39I'm heading home, but...
16:41if you need anything, call.
16:45Anytime.
16:57I feel like I know you can hear me.
17:03Wake up.
17:07Prove him wrong, Fleck.
17:09Just like you always do.
17:14You can't leave me, Fleck.
17:23Please wake up.
17:37I gave you my darkness.
17:44You gave me light, but it came with a price.
17:59Sometimes I really hate my job.
18:06Riding around and around
18:09Searching for the calmness of day
18:12When I get through my door
18:19Thanks for doing this. I know it's not exactly the great train robbery.
18:22It's my job, John. And big or small, theft is theft.
18:25Yeah, true. Crime still has been committed.
18:27Whoa. Sorry, mate. I just overheard. You alright?
18:29Yeah, I'm all good. The petty cash thing, not so much.
18:32Someone went snooping in my office and helped themselves with the content.
18:35Do you know how much was taken?
18:37$480. I know it's not a lot of money, but it belongs to the club
18:41and nobody should do the responsible thing and report it.
18:44Of course, of course.
18:45Does Alf know about it?
18:46No, not yet. And I'm not looking forward to telling him.
18:49Do you know when the money went missing?
18:51Oh, it had to be some time during Cash and Needle's engagement party.
18:55OK, I've got a couple more questions.
18:57Is there anyone you suspect who could have stolen the money?
19:00Nah. There were a lot of people coming and going through the surf club during...
19:04Yeah, but they'd be Cash and Needle's friends, like locals who support the club.
19:08Oh, no.
19:09Can't imagine any of those guys to be a thief.
19:18I still feel like a bit of a goose.
19:20No, it's not your fault.
19:22Yes, it is.
19:23Why didn't I lock the petty cash tin away like I always do?
19:27If it went missing on the night of the party, you were probably a bit distracted.
19:31Yeah, I'd only just dropped Irene off at rehab.
19:34Yeah, exactly.
19:35Still, Alf's going to have my guts for garters.
19:38See, I don't think he's going to go you over 490 bucks.
19:41He's got me over a whole lot less.
19:43Well, your mind was on your friend and helping her.
19:46That's called priorities. I reckon he's going to get that.
19:49Yeah.
19:50Or maybe it's just a big misunderstanding.
19:52One of the clubbies will hand the money back and Alf will never have to know about it.
19:56Oi, it's Remy. Maybe he can do a fundraiser for you.
19:59Busking outside the club's not going to raise much money.
20:01Hey, mate.
20:06What?
20:08Whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:18Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell the others.
20:22Yep.
20:25What's going on?
20:27Uh, it's Felicity.
20:30There was a complication and, um...
20:35They want cash to turn off the life support.
20:43I know you don't want to talk right now, but enough is enough.
20:46Seriously, if you stole that money from the surf club, I need you to bring it back.
20:51I mean it, Abi. Call me.
20:53Tell me I am wrong, that you wouldn't stoop that low.
20:58Everything okay?
21:09Money was taken from the surf club overnight. Do you know anything about that?
21:13No, it's terrible. I'm sorry. Anyway...
21:17Where's Abi?
21:19Things have escalated. The police are involved now.
21:21Give me a good reason not to tell them what you did.
21:23Abi seemed really happy when she was here.
21:26When she just goes and does this, it's just not adding up.
