Rescue Special Operations

S03:E15 - The Carter Redemption

Wrapping up from a rescue, Heidi and Jordan are looking forward to some secret time alone, but the Gallagher boys intervene. As Lara and Heidi travel together, bikies surround them and demand they follow them to where two of their group have smashed through a rural café. Lara deals with the café owner’s wife, who is impaled and unable to be moved. The café owner, Greg, is beside himself, as the roof is about to cave in. The bikie 2IC, Bones, drags Lara away to deal with the leader, Dekker. It’s a tense situation, until Chase, Dean and Jordan turn up to defuse it. Meanwhile Heidi discovers the famous bank robber Siddy Carter is trapped beneath a collapsed wall. He reveals the bikies are going to kill him. Rescue must put themselves on the line and face the bikies to save his life. Bones vows revenge on Rescue. Later that night Carter turns up at the pub to thank Rescue. Dean and the boys are wary, but Heidi agrees to a drink. Lachie is on thin ice in his attempt to join Rescue, and doesn’t endear himself to Dean when he hustles him in pool. Meanwhile Lara struggles with the fact that when Greg turned to her for emotional support, she shut down – is the job deadening her inside? She feels worse when she finds out Martha has died. Bikies arrive at the pub, and once again the Rescue guys find themselves defending Carter. The next day Rescue are called to another MVA – a refrigerated truck has been welded shut with bikies stuck inside. Carter arrives at the stationhouse and admits he did it to warn the bikies off attacking Rescue. The bikies track Carter to the stationhouse and Chase is knocked out in the ensuing melee. Jeopardising his probation, Lachie decides to confront the bikies – and Dean, Chase and Vince go along. Heidi and Jordan agree to drive Carter to the airport, but Carter admits he stole from the bikies, and in a fit of conscience decides he wants to give the money to Greg. As the Rescue guys confront the bikies, Greg attempts to ram them with his car, putting himself and Bones in jeopardy. Carter arrives in time to save Greg from Bones. It seems he’s a changed man – until he stabs Bones. Lachie’s calm under pressure impresses Vince and Michelle, and he passes his probation. And Heidi finally admits to the unit that she and Jordan are an item.
