WOMAN: When I first started here,
we used to send skin to Melbourne to grow.
21 days it took.
Patients don't have 21 days.
So Marie Stoner and I started working on the cell regrowths
till we got it down to 10 days, then five, then three.
Now it's 30 minutes.
- MAN: This is skin? - Skin cells.
They're mine, actually.
- Fiona, this won't work. - Oh, we know it works.
We spray it on, we get perfect coverage
around corners and folds, hardly any scarring.
It'll never replace skin grafts.
It might in many cases.
Look, just think of it, we won't have to damage
an uninjured part of a patient's body to treat their burns.
It's fast, it's effective.
Look, take some kits. Just try it.
You want me to just take your word for it?
For now.

No, Ali is.

(URGENT CHATTER)
Hello, excuse me, we need some help moving a patient, please.
- WOMAN: Yeah, yeah. OK. - Thank you.
Can you get paper and pen for patient notes?
- OK. - And fluids urgently, and blood.
- Can you get blood? - Yes.
- And get a surgeon? - Yes.
Nurse, all the burns patients need to be hydrated
and wounds cleaned, do you understand?
- Yeah. - OK.
POLLY: James. James.
- Jesus Christ. - It's so good to see you!
He's swelling really badly, you understand?
If we don't cut now, he'll lose his limbs.
He's swelling - badly swelling.
Uh, we need to cut. Can you get me scalpels?
Lots of scalpels and gloves, OK?
Excuse me, have you seen my boyfriend? His name is Marc.
- Have you seen him? - I haven't. I'm sorry.
I'll keep a look-out for him, OK?
They've run out of anaesthetic, analgesia, oxygen.
OK, just, uh, share the oxygen between patients.
What's your name, mate?
- It's Jono. - Jono.
Help Danni with her back. She's in a lot of pain.
Danni, I promise I'll get to you next, OK? Alright, thank you.
Jono, your burns are acting like a rubber band
cutting off your blood supply, so I need to cut into them now.
- Alright? - Yeah. Yeah.
I don't have any painkillers to block the pain, OK?
So you just need to take a deep breath for me.
- OK. - Alright?
JONO: Yep.
This will hurt.
God! Fuck!
-What the fuck are you doing?
People are dying in here.
Their families can't see them like this! Don't!
OK! No!
One more.

Lunch is up.
If anyone's still hungry, you can make yourselves a sandwich.
- We better get a move on. - (PHONE RINGS)
Let it go to message bank.
Vij! Thought you were on holiday.
There's been a catastrophic explosion in Bali.
Multiple serious burns.
What? Um, Tony, put the news on.
The hospital here can't cope with the numbers
or the severity.
- (BOY CHATTERS) - Dan, one sec.
TV REPORTER: ..at the hospital was indescribable,
barely copes at the best of times.
With scores of injured Australians,
the scene was pandemonium.
MAN ON TV: Chaos. Complete chaos. It's a nightmare...
How bad are the burns?
Like, five to 95% with everything in between.
The consul's already spoken to Canberra
and recommended evacuation.
It's bedlam here, Fiona.
- Right. - REPORTER: What's your injuries?
OK, well, listen, do what you can.
We'll get prepping at our end.
- Good luck, Vij. - (HANGS UP)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (SIGHS)
Well, um, we can't make the wedding.
- That's a relief. - (FIONA HALF-LAUGHS)
Can you drop your sister at the skating rink?
I've got triathlon training for the final.
You'll be late, I'm afraid. I've gotta go...
It's OK, I'll drive you both.
- Here, swap. - Oh. Thanks, darl.
Well, if it's as bad as Vij says,
we're gonna need to run the four theatres concurrently.
- (PHONE RINGS) - OK.
Fiona Wood.
Yes, of course.
Minister.
Yes, I'm confident we'll be ready at our end.
We're prepping as we speak.
Do you have any idea the numbers we can expect?
Copy.
You look like you've got a couple of burns there, mate.
How are you doing?
Oh, no, good.
It's about 50% of my body,
but I just feel a bit swollen at the moment, that's all.
Minister, there's a fellow there on the TV telling everyone
he's got burns to over 50% of his body and he's OK.
Yeah, well, if you don't get him out of there pretty soon,
he won't be OK.
He'll be dead.
It does appear to have been a terrorist attack.
Can I just say, on behalf of all the Australian people,
how sad we are that the pursuit
of a legitimate, simple overseas holiday
has once again been brutally interrupted
by this violent, mindless act of terrorism.
(GROANS) Mmm.
Hey, mate, how am I looking here?
Great.
How do I look?
You look like shit at the best of times.
Where's Nicole?
They took her to the theatre.
- No, that was hours ago. - Maybe she's in post-op.
- Ask the surgeon. - I'll get them ready for evac.
I'll number the serious patients 1 to 5. Ones go out first, OK?
Thank you.
- WOMAN: I need help, please. - Yeah.
Jason, I'll take you into the small room now, OK, mate?
Wait, why's that?
The shrapnel wound in your calf looks really bad
and your burns look really serious.
You're gonna need constant fluids.
Priya will make sure you get them, OK?
You, my friend, are walking wounded.
You'll have to get a commercial flight back.
It's not possible - she's too badly burnt.
Priya, Priya, make sure Jason's ready for a flight.
Hey, the Australian military are evacuating patients.
(ALL TALK AT ONCE)
Calm down. Calm down. Can we have a bit of silence?
SILENCE!
OK, I'm gonna go around
and give everybody a number, alright?
The most urgent cases will get flown by Hercules to Darwin
and then to all other airports around Australia.
Alright? OK.
Dr Dewi, make sure the nurses know to keep fluids up -
the patients must be ready to fly.
- OK. - Alright?
Write the numbers on the skin - the nurses change their sheets.
- Yeah. - WOMAN: Dr V.
There's no Nicole in post-op.
They told me to check the morgue.
Get a volunteer to go with you.
What am I going to tell her parents?
I'm so sorry.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
Polly, there are rescue flights. You've gotta get on one.
She is getting on one, but she needs her British passport.
Not without my husband. I won't go without my husband.
Just get to the airport, OK?
I'll head to the hotel, get your passport and Dan's,
get you both on a flight.
Yes, just find him, James.
OK, all number ones go to the ambulance when we arrive.
All other numbers must wait.
Wait. (COUGHS) Can't we go together?
(COUGHS)
MAN ON RADIO: Flight control, flight control.
(INDISTINCT RADIO COMMUNICATION)
(CONTROL BEEPS)
We're gonna have to hit the ground running.
From all reports, it's... it's pretty bad.
The numbers of dead and dying keeps growing
and most are Australian.
Early reports suggest the damage was caused by a bomb,
so we wanna know whose it was, how it was made and where,
we wanna know if Australia was deliberately targeted
or if it was an unfortunate coincidence.
The Indonesians OK with that?
It's under negotiation.
I'm gonna need a secure forensic lab,
preferably under my control.
I'm happy to build my own...
Give me a list of what you need, it'll be on the next plane.
To be clear, though, this is an Indonesian investigation,
alright, so we're just gonna have to work with them.
WOMAN: With them or for them?
With, I hope.
So no authority, no power.
How the hell are we supposed to get this job done, Graham?
We tread carefully at all times.
Yeah, I know, Dad. Really, I'm fine.
-No, I'm OK.
- Dad, it's... Dad, it's Nicole. - (SIRENS BLARE)
Alright, all these patients are high priority, OK,
so into the ambulances and straight to the airport, please.
Thank you.
WOMAN: Nat. Nat.
Oh! Dad, they found her.
Hey! Hey, I thought I'd lost you.
The nurse said I was called Michelle.
(LAUGHS)
But then I wasn't sure...
Don't you leave me again, OK?
Dr Vij, please, I need to travel with her.
Not sure if that's gonna be possible.
Hey, I'm right here.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.
I'll be right here, Nic.
- Mmm. - OK?
- Mmm. - Hey, let's get you home.
(SOFT CHATTER)
Alright, listen up, folks.
I need you to cancel your lives for the next few weeks.
We're getting the influx of wounded patients from Bali
tomorrow, and some of the worst burns.
We will be working 24/7.
(SIGHS) We're gonna need more beds.
Clear the coronary wards and the ICU.
Discharge anyone you can, move patients to other hospitals.
Now, these beds must be ready when they arrive tomorrow.
They can't wait.
We're not gonna be able to triage that many here.
What do you suggest, Joy?
Set up a triage in ED, assess them there?
- That sounds good. Do it. - Yeah.
I'll decide which patients go straight to burns,
which to ICU for ventilation and support,
which to theatre for cleaning and debriding.
They're gonna give us the four theatres exclusively?
Yes.
Now, listen, we're 20 hours down
and these patients haven't even been evacuated yet,
so infection will be setting in.
We work in teams. Yeah?
Each patient will have a physician, a general surgeon,
a plastic surgeon, anaesthetist and specialist nurses.
And we'll be using Cellspray.
Yes.
We'll need every tool we have.
So, yeah, we use the spray.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SHOUTING AND CHATTERING)
She told me that she's allergic to penicillin, OK?
- VIJ: OK. Thank you. - WOMAN: Resus.
- Quick, I'm losing her. - Coming.
Alright.
I know the poor bastards aren't gonna be up to it,
but every single person leaving Denpasar,
whether in a Hercules or a commercial flight,
they're gonna have to get us a witness statement.
At least get us...
- (PHONE RINGS) - ..names and contact details.
- Graham. - Alright.
This is worse than anything you're thinking.
And the next Hercules has to bring
lots more medical supplies.
Can you tell him we need blood? We need lots of blood.
Also, how many can they take?
'Cause we have, like, 50 patients
that are critical right now.
Just make sure it's Australians on the first flight out.
After that, it's Commonwealth nations.
Look, this is a shit show. We'll help everyone who needs it.
Alright, I understand. Call me if you need anything else.
Alright, the first 25 who have the priority go.
And anyone who's not gonna make it, they'll just have to wait.
- There will be more aircraft. - OK. Alright.
Excuse me. Sorry.
This is, um, Polly Miller. She's British.
If you could take her, please.
Alright, are you her husband, mate?
No, he's, um... he's missing.
Nine of our party are missing.
- Alright, what's your name? - James.
James, I'm Graham.
- Lovely to meet you. - Hi, Graham.
It'd help a lot if you could fill this, please.
- Sure, yep. Anything to help. - VIJ: Thanks, James.
Have any of the survivors talked about what happened?
Yeah, this man here. Um, Gusti.
He's an Indonesian man.
He was outside the Sari Club.
He said he saw two men on bikes pick up a third man
just before the blast.
I guess he thought it was related somehow.
Pak.
Pak?
No, he's in bad shape. Uh, Jason can talk.
He's, um... he was at Paddy's.
- Jase. - JASON: Yeah.
- GRAHAM: Hello, mate. - Hey, mate.
- Um... - Yeah?
Yeah, we were drinking at the bar at Paddy's
and felt a wave of heat,
and then force of the blast knocked me over.
- I couldn't see. - Yeah.
People tried to run out to escape,
and then, um, there was a second blast detonated.
- NATALIE: She's claustrophobic. - Pretty sure that was outside.
- Hey, mate. Excuse me. - I don't need fluids...
Mate, hey, can you let the lady go with her friend?
I'm not that bad. I can wait.
Thank you.
There was a second bomb, timed for maximum impact.
Vij.
We lost her.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC)
I wanna get off.
- I can't handle enclosed spaces. - I'm right here.
- Right here. We're going home. - VIJ: Try and relax.
Pethidine will make you sleepy.
I should've gone to Tassie for my holiday.
- (NATALIE CHUCKLES) - Nothing ever happens there.
We'll do that next time.
Dan.
(INHALES)
(EXHALES)
(DANNI WHIMPERS)
Go to sleep. Go to sleep, Danni.
It's gonna be alright.
We're going home.
MAN ON RADIO: Flight HH-30, you are clear for take-off
on 1-8-12.
(MAN ON RADIO SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)
(ENGINE NOISE BUILDS)
People are trampling over everything.
Can we at least cordon off the central area and map it out?
Well, we're guests here until we're invited to be otherwise.
So you're heading up the investigation?
- Excellent. - The military want it of course.
So, nobody's taken responsibility yet?
No.
The press are talking of al-Qaeda.
And the government has followed.
But you're not sure?
Nothing is signed yet, Graham. Your team must wait.
Many people don't want foreign security on Indonesian soil.
GRAHAM: David.
Pak.
Morgue inside, full.
How many... how many bodies?
Last count, 160.
- But there will be more. - GRAHAM: OK.
You have to get this place secure.
When your government and mine agree on how things will be,
yes, we can do that.
- You know how it is here. - I do.
But you also know that this can't wait.
We've got body parts, we've got no... no labels, no names.
You know there's gonna be grief, there's gonna be anger.
We... we have a DVI team.
How about they get started
at least, you know, interviewing families and getting DNA?
OK.
Australia will handle foreign nationals
and we will deal with the Indonesians.
He ran the surf shop.
A friend?
I'll wait for the DVI team.
TONY: You're gonna use Cellspray?
FIONA: I've offered kits to the other units.
- Well, don't expect gratitude. - No. (CHUCKLES)
They've made it clear they think you're deluded.
I know.
Are you sure about this?
The whole world will be watching.
It's not the time for crash or crash through.
Well, I don't care what people think.
I've got 29 patients arriving.
Some of them have got burns to over 95% of their bodies.
I need a lot of skin.
- Without the kits... - Some will die.
- I know. - Yeah.
That's not the only problem.
I mean, these patients are gonna need immediate care.
I don't have enough plastic surgeons.
- Is a general surgeon any use? - Yeah.
Cook, father, empathetic, sure.
Come on, you've got your own patients to look after.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
WOMAN: They found someone wearing orange shorts.
But does that mean it's him?
If it is Marc...
Look, maybe it's better if you don't go in.
I don't want to remember him like that.
I'll go.
GRAHAM: Oh, we can't have the relatives seeing this.
- I'll post someone out front. - Yeah.
I mean, the volunteers are well meaning,
but the body parts are all mixed up
and none of them are labelled where they were.
So... (SIGHS) ..you're gonna have to start over...
..and reassemble body parts.
- This is gonna take weeks. - Yep.
We need refrigerator units asap.
Yeah. I'll speak to the ADF.
It's Marc, H. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Oh... - Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
No.
No! (SOBS)
- (SOBS) - It's OK.
(TROUBLING MUSIC)
OK, make sure you check her fluids every hour properly.
Squeeze the bag if it doesn't go in -
she's got burns all over her back and arms.
- Careful. - MAN: Yeah.
Her back! (COUGHS) Her back!
Her back.
- (COUGHS) - VIJ: Airways. Airways, quick.
Make sure his fluids are checked every hour, alright?
You'll be good, mate. You'll be alright.
(SIREN WAILS)
FIONA: Remember, these patients are wounded and burnt.
We treat the wounds first
and cover the burns as quickly as possible -
our enemy's infection.
Now, Joy, I want you to start taking skin
as soon as they have a bed, yeah?
Marie, your teams start creating supply...
Where are you lazy slackers, hey?
You know they call you the shit magnet?
You go away for one day and you come back with 29 burn patients.
28 actually. A man died en route.
Go get a shower, a clean set of clothes,
then do the handover.
Vij, thank God you were there.
(SIGHS)
He's got burns to about 72% of his body.
- Right. - He's 18.
BP and temp both low.
Ah, Vij.
- VIJ: Hey. - Hey.
Uh, Jono here has third-degree burns on his leg,
fourth-degree on his feet.
His chest burns are complicated by glass and shrapnel wounding.
FIONA: Right, surgical should see him first.
- Theatre 1. - Yep.
When the surgeons are done, send him to ICU.
If they can keep his kidneys functioning,
he might have a chance.
Smell's not a good sign. It's been 30 hours.
Infection's definitely setting in.
If they're all like this, we've got a problem.
Mmm. Let's slow it down. Who's this?
This is Sri. She's Balinese.
Missile injuries to her limbs and torso,
airway burns, and fractures.
- Burns to 65%. - Have we any interpreters?
Yeah, your team,
assess and treat Sri for the missile injuries, yeah?
This is Danni Foster. Burns to about 58% of her body.
Shrapnel wounding in her thigh as well.
How old are you, Danni?
- Uh, 18. - OK.
We're gonna look after you, yeah?
Flight was rough - burns all over her back, arms, legs.
Right, get her prepped for theatre.
We'll take the shrapnel out
and then we'll start her grafts and the Cellspray.
Can you start her cell regrowth now?
- Fiona, we're using Cellspray? - Yes.
They will need all the help they can get.
(TENSE MUSIC)
DAVID: Ground zero.
When the big bomb was detonated,
this is where the blast wave started.
Deep. About a metre.
Yeah, well, needless to say
the water's destroyed vital evidence.
Who's that guy?
That's Made Maja, my bodyguard.
- Who assigned him? - GRAHAM: No idea.
- He's a plain-clothes cop. - MAN: Hey!
You can't be here.
Graham Ashton. AFP.
I know who you are.
But this is not allowed.
Well, pray it doesn't rain.
Pray? This crime scene's deteriorating by the minute.
David, in my experience over here,
it really pays to know when you can push
and when to back off.
Alright, confident humility.
(MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY)
FIONA: Jono?
Jono.
While you were sedated, you went into theatre.
The surgeons took the shrapnel and the glass out.
That breathing thing's gone. That's a relief.
Yeah. So now we wanna look at your burns.
We're gonna have to take a squiz at your feet.
Doesn't look that good but I heal easy.
Spend most of my time in the ocean,
so... surf to heal, right?
If we're gonna get you back in the surf, we need to move fast.
- JOY: Clean up what I can. - Give him pethidine.
We need to schedule the skin grafts.
- Jono. - Uh, I'm sorry.
You mustn't touch him. Jono must be kept totally sterile.
- Are you Mum? - Uh, yes.
Dr Fiona Wood.
It's good to see you, Mum.
Not as good as it is to see you.
Um, Dr Wood.
My son's gonna be OK, right?
Look, he's young and he's fit.
That's something.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
Come on, Nic.
You've come so far. You've gotta pull through now.
No, I'm not using Cellspray.
Because patients who've gone through Bali
shouldn't be subjected to an experiment.
Polly, I'm here, love.
Do you get the feeling the terrorists are out there
plotting their next attack somewhere?
My boss is talking to your boss. It's been agreed.
So... what precisely are we waiting for?
- Their signatures. - OK.
While we're waiting for them to find their pens,
is there anything we can do?
You know, can... can we at least have the freedom to look around?
Some in Indonesia
feel that Australians attracted this -
coming here, getting drunk, showing no respect.
And there are some in Australia who worry
that your government's turned a blind eye
to the rise of terrorism.
The Sari Club would only let in white-skinned tourists.
Did you know?
Balinese, Indonesians were banned.
That's why it was a target.
No doubt.
Yeah.
We have the best detectives in Indonesia working on it.
And we have technology that can speed things up.
What have you got so far?
OK.
Um, there was a Balinese victim being shipped to Australia
who said that he saw two men on a motorbike
picking up a third man just before the bomb was detonated.
- Can I talk to this witness? - He died.
I have something similar from another witness.
The bike's tail-lights were out.
It could be significant.
We'll start from here.
Jono's infection is looking pretty bad.
Double the dose of antibiotics.
But if he doesn't improve, I can't see a choice. Can you?
(CHUCKLES)
- Hey. - Hey.
You're looking good.
I'm a patchwork -
skin grafts, spray-on skin.
Dr Wood thinks I won't have too many scars.
(CHUCKLES)
I have to get my blood flowing.
Do you wanna... do you wanna go for a walk?
No.
No, my legs are stuffed.
They're thinking of... doing the big chop.
What, both of them?
(WHISPERS) Yeah.
Do you reckon I'll be able to surf without legs?
- You? Sure. - (BOTH LAUGH)
I mean, why not? You can do anything.
Come and stay with me in Alice.
I mean, we have landsailing.
(CHUCKLES) That's about it.
Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.
I keep having these, like, nightmares.
But then I wake up and I'm grateful
'cause, you know, I got a... I got a second chance.
Do you reckon your, um, friends got out?
No.
I'm sorry.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Hello.
Danni...
..could you give us a moment?
Yeah.
Jono, we need to put you in a drug-induced coma.
Why?
It'll allow your energy to go into healing.
OK. And...
And if I don't do it?
The infection will overwhelm you.
This way, we give your body the maximum chance to do its work.
You know how we talked about the possibility of amputation,
that is becoming more likely, I'm afraid.
JONO: Mm.
We just have to prioritise your life, Jono.
FIONA: Yeah.
(INHALES)
OK.
And if I don't come out of this coma,
this is it.
- Don't think about that now. - No, this is it.
You don't have to think about that now.
- (WHISPERS) OK. - FIONA: Hmm?
So, if it has to be done, yeah.
When will it be done?
Now.
Would you like to talk to your mum first?
- OK. Yeah. - Yeah.
You're a strong boy, Jono.
You have to believe.
Yeah.
(FIONA WHISPERS) I know.
(WISTFUL MUSIC)
TONY: You need to rest.
Put your head down just for an hour.
No, I've gotta get back.
- Oh, thank you. - That's alright.
- Look at what I did here. - Look at your sexy salad.
Mmm.
I won't make Tom's triathlon tomorrow.
That's alright. He knows that.
Will you video it for me?
Mm-hm.
- Mmm! - You want some cheese?
Thank you.
Guys, have a listen to this.
(MAN IN RECORDING SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
So, this came through from Al Jazeera news
about an hour ago.
The US authorities seem to think it's authentic.
Have you got the transcript there?
(MAN IN RECORDING SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(READS) "The Bali bombings were in retaliation
"for the support of the US in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"You will be killed just as you kill.
"And you will be bombed as you bomb.
"Expect more that will distress you."

FIONA: Jackie,
listen, I've got some very bad news, I'm afraid.
Jono's body's shut down.
There's nothing more we can do. I'm so sorry.
We can't save him.
You can bring in family to say goodbye
before any other decisions have to be made.
Um...
We don't have any family here in Perth.
Can I have five minutes alone with him?
Of course.
(MONITOR BEEPS SLOWLY)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Jono.
(SNIFFLES)
It's OK.
I love you.
(LOW, GRIM MUSIC)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Have you read this?
Outrageous.
We've got the most badly injured patients
and they're recovering in record time,
other hospitals are begging us to take their patients,
and this is what they say.
Yeah, I saw it this morning.
What?
- What? - Who says what?
They're quoting east coast burns specialists saying
that it was unethical to use the skin spray on Bali patients.
Oh.
Also that you gain financial profit every time we use it.
Now, those bastards know that any profits we make
we plough back into research.
Should I call the reporters to set it straight?
No. I've got work to do.
Listen, I wanna go over Jono's records,
see if there's anything we could've done differently.
VIJ: Yep.
(STIRRING MUSIC)
New bike. Left here the night of the bombings.
Tail-lights have been tampered with.
They might have prayed here.
We could ask around inside,
see if anyone knows who left it here.
Respectfully.
