Rescue Special Operations

Dean is using his day off to bond with Zoe’s boy Noah but things aren’t sizzling when Dean gets a request from Lachie to pick him up from the lockup and take him to work. Rescue are stretched thin having responded to an incident at a large art gallery where a cleaner has launched himself from the mezzanine and impaled himself on a valuable steel sculpture below. Around the same time a woman has wedged her car into an adjoining alley. Dean takes Noah with him to drop Lachie at work but when he sees the team are short-handed he offers to help and sends Noah to the café while he joins his brothers in the atrium trying to free the impalement victim. When his brothers continue to ride him, Lachie snaps and informs them that today will be his last day on the job. Lara and Jordan head to the alley to work on the MVA and Vince soon joins. Heidi goes looking for the Curator in the offices above only to walk into hell. An unknown gunman has gone postal and people are dead. Mrs. Marchant, the woman in the car has also been shot. Vince co-ordinates the escalating situation as Lachie locates Heidi upstairs. They feed reports as they search for an escape route and treat victims. Dean charges off to find Noah while Chase tends to the impalement victim. Lachie is struggling with the idea of not going after the gunman but forces himself to do what he’s told. At least until those upstairs have been evacuated. Then he goes after the gunman but his mission is derailed when he locates the wounded Carla on the ground floor. While the gunman stalks the corridors, Dean and Chase find Noah trapped. Chase goes to help Lachie with Carla, and Dean is left alone to free Noah. They connect for the first time. When Rescue learn that the gunman is Rhys Marchant, Carla’s brother, they know he will not let up coming for her. Lachie and Chase make an escape attempt but find the exits have been padlocked by Marchant. The brothers must rescue Noah and Carla before Marchant can kill them but ultimately Lachie does have to face off against the armed Marchant. Lachie manages to stall long enough for the others to escape. Marchant is killed by the SPG. Lachie realises he can make something of this Rescue life while Dean is on rocky ground with Zoe who blames him for jeopardizing the life of her son.
