Rescue Special Operations

T03:C09 - S03:E09 - It's Not the Fall that Kills You

Called to a high-rise office to rescue a General Manager and his Assistant when their late-night tryst goes horribly wrong, Rescue are shocked to discover the real reason for the General Manager’s heart attack… A black-clad figure hanging by a thread on the outside of the building. Launching another rescue, they’re quickly confronted with yet another surprise as two more figures are found to be climbing up the outside of the building. Heading them off, Rescue learns that they’re part of an urban climbing community, dedicated to challenging themselves against the most extreme man-made structures… And Lara learns that Cam is one of them as he comes over the top. Thrown into a spin, Lara is suddenly forced to examine whether she really knows her new boyfriend at all – a fact made worse by her dislike for his climbing partner, Sharni. Meanwhile, Heidi’s growing excitement at approaching the 500 rescue benchmark is somewhat tempered as she is reduced to chasing a disabled old man’s cat while the boys complete the actual rescue. However, her disappointment goes by the wayside as the cat in fact leads her home, where she finds the man’s wife in a very dire situation. Trapped under a fallen wardrobe, she needs all Heidi’s skills to save her before it crushes her leg for good… But will Heidi be able to claim her 500th rescue in light of the shocking secret she discovers about this innocent looking pair of seniors? Late in the day, just as Lara is about to give up on their relationship, it’s Cam’s own direct approach that makes the difference. But all of this takes a back seat as news comes in that Sharni has returned to the scene of the crime, intent on finishing what Lara stopped her from doing last night. Unless Rescue can stop her, she’s going to try and scale the building once and for all, despite her fatigue. Arriving too late, the team’s efforts become another rescue and as things spiral out of control, Lara is left devastated… But is Dean to blame?
