All language subtitles for Sea Patrol 5x08 Life Line

Thank you.

Thank you so much
for answering our mayday.

You reported multiple
electrical failures on board.

Is the vessel seaworthy?

Um, I have no idea.

Do you wish to evacuate?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.

I'm not sure about him, though.

Hi.

Jack Henty. Thanks
for your assistance, Mike.

The world can be a Ionely place
when you're in a submarine.

You managed to surface, I see.

Yeah, Jack was amazing.

I didn't think we were
going to make it, actually.

I'm Tracey McQueen, by the way.

And 'Njord' is a research sub?

Yes, a two-man Mark-4.

Might not be new, but it's got
a very good safety record.

I'm sure whatever's
wrong is fixable.

Jack, we could have died.

Come on, Trace. It was
just an electrical short.

You... You don't have
a sparky on board, do you?

(SCOFFS) No, you're not going
to get me in that thing.

Wow. Two people can actually
survive in this thing, eh?

Five days at a time. Marine
scientists are a strange breed.

I think the problem's in here.

OK, let's take a look.

(CREAKING)

What's going on?

(BEEPING)
What was that?

Oh, get back. Move back.

Whoa. Whoa. No, no, no.
Don't give me that look.

You're supposed to be the expert.
Hold on.

What?
Hold on! We're going down.

(BREATHES HEAVILY) Oh.

God.

'Hammersley' to 'Njord'.
Are you receiving, 'Njord'? Over.

(STATIC OVER HANDSET)

I've tried VHF, UHF...
I've had no response.

Was the radio buoy
deployed when it sank?

Tracey said it was deployed
during the first emergency,

but no-one recalls seeing it
on the surface when we got here.

So we don't even know
if they can hear us?

If they're alive,

if they managed
to deploy the radio buoy,

it might be too deep
to receive.

All I know is I'm
getting nothing now.

Well, they could still be alive
if the ship's still intact.

Jack gave us
the strong impression

the vessel was sound.

Yeah, I know.
I know. It's just...

Look, Jack's just really keen
for us to finish our job.

I mean, we're both scientists,

but he's the
'glass half full' type.

And what type
of person are you?

Well, I'm the pragmatic one.

You wouldn't get me down there

without a team of experts
giving it the OK.

What was the purpose
of your dive?

It's a government-sponsored dive,
collecting samples.

Look, I'd like to use your radio
to inform my mother ship.

That won't be possible. We're
in a naval emergency situation.

I've initiated
a communications lockdown.

There's no traffic outside our
procedural essentials. Sorry.

(MAN OVER RADIO) If you need
any assistance, we're here.

(XO OVER RADIO) Your
assistance won't be required.

But we appreciate the offer. Over.
What have we got?

Vessel arrived
about three minutes ago

in response
to the original mayday.

'Tangaroa III'
out of Townsville.

(MAN OVER RADIO) You sure?
Yes, very sure.

We need to keep this area clear
for arriving rescue vessels,

so we would appreciate
you moving on.

Over.
MAN: Roger that. Out.

Sorry. Is it possible I could get
a lift on that boat?

Well, I've got to communicate
with the outside world somehow.

I mean, Jack has relatives.
They'll be concerned.

Once again, I apologise.

You'll be required to stay
and make a formal statement.

RO: Sir, we need
to check the echo sounder

and locate the exact
position of that sub.

Good idea.

X, have we marked the last surface
coordinates of the sub?

Yes, sir, we have.

Let's make a slow sweep
over that position.

Steer 2-7-0.

Steer 2-7-0.

Tell us when, X.

100 metres, sir.

Course 2-7-0. Slow to 500.

There we go.
CHARGE: Right on the money.

It's sitting on the bottom
at about 70 metres,

way too deep to dive.

What is that?

CHARGE: I've never
seen that before.

Seismic activity?

RO: It looks like something
coming to the surface.

DUTCHY: There he is.

Man in the water.

Man in the water.
Man in the water. Green 4-5.

Yeah, keep it coming. Easy.

Alright, let's get him in.

(GRUNTS) I need some help.

One, two, three.
(GRUNTING)

Let's get this off him quick.
He won't have much air.

2Dads? 2Dads?

So where's 2Dads?

It was mayhem down there.
I barely got out myself.

I realise you've been through
a traumatic time,

but the safety of my crew member
is paramount to me.

He's dead.

We were accessing
the escape suits.

I was in the escape hatch
when there was an explosion.

We were both thrown around.
I could see through the port.

He was unconscious
and bleeding.

I couldn't get back in,
so I surfaced.

He was in a bad way.
He wasn't going to make it.

What? So you just left him?

Well, I was in the escape
hatch already.

I... I couldn't get back in.

Was the sub taking water?

No, but I think
the ballast tanks had vented

because of an electrical fault.

You've placed my crew member

in a life-threatening
situation here, Mr Henty.

Had I realised that...
No-one could have known.

I'm sorry.

Well, 2Dads might still be alive

and, unlike you, I'm not
just going to leave him.

Sir, I think we should
shut down the engines,

turn off anything electrical,
anything that makes any noise.

I want to head down to the hull
and take a listen.

You think we might hear something
from the submarine?

Sound travels for miles
through water. It's worth a shot.

Closing down port engine.

Bilge pumps off too.

Deactivating
bilge pumps now, sir.

Any washing machines or dryers on
need to be shut down.

Alright. Exhaust fans
in the galley, Charge?

I'll close them down from here.
XO: Very good.

RO: Shut down.

(SHIP POWERS DOWN)

(SILENCE)

(FLICKS SWITCH)

(COUGHS, EXHALES)

(FOOTSTEPS)

Shh!

(WHISPERS) Sorry.

I just...

I mean, if you're right,
I just wanted to be...

Yeah, I know. I understand.

I just need you to be quiet.

Yep.

This isn't working.
Shh.

(RHYTHMIC BANGING)

What was that?

Is that...
(BANGING)

He's alive.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(LOUD BANGING)

(BANGS THREE TIMES SLOWLY)

(BANGS THREE TIMES QUICKLY)

(BANG!)

(RHYTHMIC BANGING)

What does that mean?
His Morse code's terrible.

I don't understand
what he's trying to say.

I'll tell the CO.

(RAPS THREE TIMES)

(RHYTHMIC BANGING CONTINUES)

Maxine, I hope you've
got some good news

about that rescue submersible.

(MAXINE OVER PHONE)
It's en route,

but it's at least
four hours away.

Well, that's a long time
for 2Dads.

That's the time it's gonna take.
I'll keep you updated.

Understood. Thanks.

So this rescue submersible...

It is capable of docking
with this type of sub?

CHARGE: Yeah.

According to the schematics,
that shouldn't be a problem.

NAVCOM contacted the manufacturer,
who sent these through.

You won't believe this.

CHARGE: Look at that.
MIKE: What?

The radio buoy cable.
The specs say it's 50 metres long.

It's a pity it's not
20 metres longer

'cause the sub's sitting
at the bottom of the ocean.

And 2Dads is 70 metres down.

Where's Jack?
He's in the wardroom.

You told me my crewman was dead.

Obviously, I was wrong.

I'm not getting
the full story here, am I?

What the hell
went on down there?

Sir...

...I think that
we should charge him.

Section 14?

XO: Yeah. We've got
enough evidence already.

You... You can't do that.

Oh, yes, we can.

Section 14 gives us
wide-ranging powers at sea.

You want to test it?

(SIGHS HEAVILY) Alright.

We were getting ready
to evacuate the sub.

One of the escape
suits was ripped.

I don't know how.
Maybe in the initial emergency.

We fought over the good suit.

I hit him. He fell backwards,
hit his head.

So he was unconscious.

And you just left him.

Well, it's easy
to judge me from here.

He would have done
the same thing.

There was a way out
for only one of us.

You think I like myself
for this?

You'll be confined to Austere
for the duration of this voyage.

Now, I need to know,
was the radio buoy deployed?

Yes. Your sparky and I
tried the radio repeatedly.

Obviously we were too deep.

But the radio -
is it still activated?

Yes, most of the systems
are still functioning.

Thanks for playing along
with Section 14.

Well, it sounded good,
whatever it means.

If anything happens to 2Dads,

I promise you
that man is history.

(TAPS RAPIDLY)

(MEAS URED BANGING)

Oh, come on, RO.
We can bang all day.

Ballast pump.

We used to pump our ballast
so it must go up.

(SIGHS) Or not.

(RAPS THREE TIMES)

(RHYTHMIC BANGING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

(RHYTHMIC BANGING)

How's he going?

Well, I tap...

(RHYTHMIC BANGING)

...and 2Dads taps.

At least he knows we're here.

(ENGINE WHIRRS)

What's that noise?

Oh, that's why I came down.
We have to start the engines.

Sorry, Robert.

The current's been pushing us
too far away from the target.

Be good if I could
explain that to 2Dads.

We need to be
at the right coordinates

to facilitate this rescue.

Sir, RO is right.

2Dads is completely cut off.
He has no idea what is going on.

I understand, but there's no way

we can meaningfully
communicate with him.

His radio buoy is 20 metres
too deep to receive a signal.

It's only 20 metres down?
So a diver could get to it.

We could get a diver

to attach a coaxial cable
to the radio buoy.

We could build an antenna

and float it on the surface
directly above him.

Is that doable?

Yeah. Yeah.
The antenna's easy enough.

RO: It's just
a circle of coax cable.

Held by floats.
Get started.

OK, now, we probably will
have to purloin some coax cable

from non-essential
radio systems.

When you say 'purloin'...

Steal.
Borrow.

Borrow.
To be replaced afterwards.

RO: No damage.
Fine. Do it.

Mids.

Hey, that looks good.

Yeah, I hope so.

So these go around
the perimeter?

Yeah. Yeah, they're meant to be
evenly spaced around the... thing.

Um, the boss wants
to know how long.

Just tell him that's
a very good question.

You asked to see me, Mr Henty?

Yes. Look, I keep thinking about
your man down there.

So do I.

Well, I feel bad about
how things turned out.

He is going
to be rescued, right?

Is there a point to this?

I want you to know exactly
what's at stake here,

why I was so...

...why I wanted to keep
the sub working.

Our whole enterprise has been
somewhat secret for a reason.

This is it.

What am I looking at?

It's a form of Anthozoa,
a subspecies of coral.

It's so rare we haven't
even got a name for it yet.

TRACE Y: Hey, I heard
you released Jack...

Did you save the specimen?

Just.

Oh, thank God.

I'm sorry.
What's so special about this?

Um, its medical properties.

Initial trials have proved that
it dissolves arterial plaque.

It could help end
heart disease.

SWAIN: If that works,
that would make this

one of the most valuable naturally
occurring medicines in the world.

That's right.

MIKE: I appreciate your honesty,

but this isn't worth
the life of my crewman.

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

Oh, no.

(HOLDS BREATH)

(EXHALES)

(HOLDS BREATH)

(PANTS) Focus.

Looks good, RO. Real good.
Thank you.

OK, cable.

Can you pass me the ring?

OK, drop it in.

RO: You right?
CHARGE: Yeah.

You know whatever happens,
we're doing what we can, right?

This will work, Charge.

Yep, it's done.

So, moment of truth?

HMAS 'Hammersley'
to submersible 'Njord'.

Do you receive me? Over.

(LOUD STATIC)

HMAS 'Hammersley'
to submersible 'Njord'.

(LOUDER) Are you
receiving? Over.

(STATIC)

You know, he might...

Doesn't matter.

What?

Well, at that depth,

he may have decided
that the radio was useless

and turned it off
to save power maybe.

HMAS 'Hammersley'
to submersible...

(2DADS OVER RADIO)
'Njord' calling 'Hammersley'.

Can you hear me?

We can hear you, 2Dads.

(LAUGHS WITH RELIEF)

Thank God for that.

Had us a bit worried there.

Listen, RO, I was hit...

We're aware of that, 2Dads.

(GASPS) I'm running low
on oxygen, RO.

Breathing is getting hard.

2DADS: When are you
getting me out of here, RO?

RO: We have a rescue
submersible en route.

(RO OVER RADIO) ETA...

...three hours.

Er, sir?

These schematics, they have
the air purification system,

and here's
the entire electrics.

So if air quality
is an electrical issue,

we might be able
to work it out from here.

Quick as you can.

MIKE: RO?
RO: Yep.

2Dads?

Sir?
We have the sub specs here.

We're going to try and locate
the oxygen problem for you.

Over.
(2DADS OVER RADIO) OK.

I'd prefer to get out,
though, sir.

That's clearly not possible
at the moment, is it, 2Dads?

So just wait for the chief
engineer's report, OK?

Yeah, look, I'm gonna
have to go somewhere

where I can concentrate.

Yeah. (CLEARS THROAT)

RO, can you try and be
a little more sensitive

when you're talking to 2Dads?

Because he's at the bottom
of the ocean on his own.

You know, he needs...
Well, he needs a friend and...

And you've done a great job.
So you take a break. Yep.

Swain?
SWAIN: Yes, ma'am.

Take a break. Go.

(2DADS OVER RADIO) RO?

(DOOR OPENS)

Hey, want a coffee, RO?
It's fresh.

Er, no. No, I'll
get my own later.

You don't like my coffee?

Um, there's something
that you do to it.

I'm not sure what it is, but
it just makes it taste tinny.

Fine. Remind me
not to offer you...

Bird, would you say
that I'm a sensitive person?

I don't think
you often put yourself

in other people's shoes, no.

Why would I want to do that?

Sometimes if you think about

what another person
is going through,

you realise you've experienced
similar emotions yourself.

So?

So it helps you to understand
how they might be feeling,

helps you to be sensitive
to their needs at that time.

And you don't think
that I'm good at that?

Sometimes I think
you're so truthful it hurts.

But I think there's a lot
you don't share too.

So if you want
to be more sensitive

you may have to look
at changing that.

(S UBMERSIBLE CREAKS)

Oh, sir. I've just got
an update from NAVCOM.

The rescue submersible's
still two hours away.

That's too late to help 2Dads
if his air runs out.

Yes, it is.

Someone should teach Bird how to
make a real cup of coffee.

What's the verdict, Charge?

Oh, I think the problem's
with the sub's CO2 scrubbers.

Just give me
another five minutes.

Just get it right.

Can't afford not to.

(SIGHS) OK.

Oh! What is... What is this?

No. Come on. Come on.
Don't do this. Oh!

MIKE: What's happening, Charge?

I have no idea. One minute
it was there and now it's gone.

Did it crash?

I think it's worse than that.
We can't get it back.

(RO TYPES)

OK. OK. It's gone.

Um, I just have to download
the specs again from NAVCOM.

We can't.

Sorry?

Er, we don't have any internet.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

We used the coax cable
to build the floating antenna.

It was the most expendable.

Without that information,
we can't save 2Dads.

MIKE: You've got
to think of something.

HMAS 'Hammersley'
to submergible 'Njord'.

(RO OVER RADIO) Um, I've got
good news and bad news.

Jeez, just good news,
Robert. Come on.

Er, we... We can't
help you just yet, 2Dads.

There's technical issues.

(RO OVER RADIO)
2Dads, are you there?

Not going anywhere,
am I, Robert?

I understand how you must feel.

(ANGRILY) With respect, Robert,

no-one could possibly
understand how I feel.

Robert?

Yeah, I'm here.

(2DADS OVER RADIO)
What if I opened up the hatch?

I'm going to die anyway.
Might as well make a swim for it.

2Dads, you won't make it.

There's no...
There's no way. You'll die.

You know, we get what
we deserve, Robert. Huh?

(RO OVER RADIO) What's that
supposed to mean?

It doesn't matter.
Lack of oxygen talking.

(EXHALES WEAKLY)

2Dads, can I tell you a story?

Captive audience, RO.

When I was...

...six years old and
I was living with my father,

who was an alcoholic...

That's supposed
to make me feel better?

(CHUCKLES)

...I'd talked back
to him or I'd...

...I'd complained or...

I can't even remember, but
he locked me in a wardrobe.

(RO OVER RADIO)
It was cold and dark

and for a six-year-old,
it was...

...it was horrible.

Um, what are you doing?

I'm pretty good with PCs.
I thought I'd take a look.

Right, 'cause you're young
and you're the expert.

No.

Well, is it working?

Well, your basic
operating system's working.

All your files have been
corrupted, though.

A virus, maybe.
CHARGE: No.

It's got state-of-the-art antivirus
protection on it.

RYAN: I'm just telling you
what it looks like.

Wait a minute.
Maybe I can do it with these.

Maybe I can talk 2Dads through it
based on these notes.

Have you got enough there?
Yeah, there and up here.

You, out there.
I need to concentrate.

OK.

(RO OVER RADIO)
I was bashing my knee

against the wardrobe door
so much that the skin came off.

(2DADS OVER RADIO)
He didn't come for you, huh?

No.

At about... Oh, God,
I was in there for hours.

About 3am, I managed
to get the wardrobe door open,

and when I came out
he was asleep.

I picked up the bottle
that he'd been drinking out of

and I smashed him
over the head with it.

(RO OVER RADIO) In the morning,
he didn't remember anything.

He thought he'd fallen over.

My knee got infected.
I've still got a scar.

I still hate the dark.

(INHALES RAGGEDLY)

Robert?

Yeah, I'm here.

I panicked.

Jack and I, we fought over those
damn escape suits like kids.

I lost it.

I understand, 2Dads. It's OK.

(RO OVER RADIO) 2Dads?

Yeah, RO. Thanks.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

OK. Guess I'm as ready
as I'll ever be.

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

RO: 2Dads, we're ready
to fix the CO2 scrubbers.

I'll patch you
through to Charge.

(CHARGE OVER RADIO)
You there, 2Dads?

Hey, big buddy.

You're going to tell me
how to rewire stuff, huh?

Hey, I'm the man
with the specs.

Yes, you are.

OK, we know that you've
got power to your radio,

so that's where we'll start.

(PANTS) Understood.

There's a junction box
under the radio desk.

Oh, yeah. Got it.

You need to open that box.

Can you see
three lights in there?

Yep, I'm seeing them.

What colour are they?
All green.

(SIGHS) Good. OK.

Um, go to the other
side of the room.

(CHARGE OVER RADIO) Halfway up
the wall there's another box.

2DADS: I see it.

CHARGE: Open it.

Inside, there's a series
of wires attached to terminals.

(GASPS)

2DADS: I've got it, Charge.

Disconnect the green one.

I got it.

OK, the wire that
you've disconnected,

the other end of that
is under a panel to the left.

Sorry. Wait.

CHARGE: It's...
It's to the right of you.

It's labelled 'electrical access'.

(MUTTERS) To the left. To the...

(2DADS PANTS OVER RADIO)

I see it, Charge.

You need to open it.

(CHARGE OVER RADIO) It's the third
green wire from the top.

Grab it and pull it
through the conduit,

about four metres of it.

They've all been cut.

Say again?

All the wires are all cut,
and I'm woozy.

2DADS: There's scorch marks
in there.

Cut wires that close
to each other?

That would have caused shorts
through the whole electrics.

2DADS: Charge, I think this
is where the problem started.

These wires have been
cut deliberately.

Somebody sabotaged
this ship, Charge.

2Dads told us the wires
had definitely been cut.

And that did not
happen by itself.

Why would either of us
put our lives in jeopardy?

But your lives aren't
in jeopardy, are they?

It's only 2Dads's life
at stake here.

I did not engineer this.
What would I gain?

The most expensive natural medicine
in the world.

Tracey.

Tracey?

She did it to damage the sub,

to bring us to the surface.

Maybe. We'll get her side
of the story too.

But under the circumstances,

I want that vial
in the ship's safe.

It's in my cabin.

After you.

It's not here.

Are you sure you left it...
Yes!

I put it here. You were with me.

So was Tracey.

SWAIN: Ma'am?
XO: Yeah?

Rubberneckers
at a road accident.

MIKE: Just wait here,
thanks, Jack.

'Tangaroa III',

this is Australian
warship 'Hammersley'.

Are you receiving? Over.

(MAN OVER RADIO)
We're receiving. Over.

Why are you entering
a restricted zone

when you were ordered
to stay clear? Over.

(MAN OVER RADIO) We're
returning from our fishing trip.

Thought you might
need our help. Over.

You are hereby ordered
to steer clear of this area.

Otherwise you'll
be escorted away. Over.

(MAN OVER RADIO) OK,
keep your shirt on. We're going.

I searched the entire ship.
I can't find her anywhere.

Sir, there's a wetsuit
and scuba gear

missing from the lockers.

CHARGE: She could've had
access to my computer

when I left it
in the ship's office.

Sir, we're tracking
with 'Tangaroa III'.

I think you should see this.

Jack. Take a look.

That boat didn't just
turn up out of nowhere

in response
to the original mayday.

Tracey planned all this.

She was going to use it
to get away with the sample.

Yes.

It was so simple. She knew
I'd never leave the sub.

All that went wrong for Tracey
was that we turned up first.

Alright. Let's get
a RHIB in the water.

Aren't they too far away?

Just watch us.

Does 'manual ballast
vent adjust' mean

what I think it means?

Yes.

It's worth a try.
Yes, it does, 2Dads.

It manually opens and closes
the ballast tank air vents,

but the pressure could make it
impossible to move.

Is that you, Jack?

Yes.

Remind me to punch you.

I look forward to it.

Look, you can't
get the sub to surface

if those vents won't close.

Try closing them manually.

With the wheel thingy?

(J ACK OVER RADIO) Right.
That should close the vents.

Then try the pump again.

With the vents closed,
the sub should rise.

(PANTS)

(WHEEL SQUEAKS)

(2DADS PANTS OVER RADIO)

(GROANS)

(BREATHES RAPIDLY)

(WHEEL SQUEAKS)
Come on.

(WHIMPERS)

You there, 2Dads?

(BREATHLESSLY) I can't. I can't.

I can't. I can't.

XO: Stand behind port bow.
You are ordered to heave to.

Right. Take us in. Let's go.

Just watch the deck.

Ma'am, move away. Move away.

SWAIN: Come down.
OK, cut the engines.

TRACE Y: Get your hands off me.

Ma'am, stop resisting.
Get down. Mind your head.

Ma'am, you're being charged with
the theft of the coral.

Sit down.

And the theft of Royal Australian
Navy equipment.

I worked just as hard
for that sample as Jack did.

(MAN GRUNTS)
You shut up.

Don't say anything.

Where is the sample, ma'am?
I don't know.

Right. We're gonna have to search
the boat till we find it.

Bird, flybridge.

XO: Do you work for
this drug company, sir?

You don't want
to talk about it?

DUTCHY: Start
with this compartment here.

Keep searching till we've got...

Who said you could
come up here? Sit down.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Give me that.

No. Don't drop it.

Sit down. Next time you stand up
I'm gonna put cuffs on you.

Is this the drug company

who's been paying you
to betray your partner?

Well, it doesn't really matter,
does it? It's over now.

Yeah, well, for you maybe.

We've still got
a man down there.

(GASPS)

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

(WHEEL SQUEAKS)

(PANTS)

(GASPS BREATHLESSLY)

(LOUD WHIRRING)

The steaming party will escort them
back to shore, sir. Over.

(MIKE OVER RADIO) Very good, X.

The police will be there
to greet them.

See the rest of you
back here soon.

Yep! Over there. Over there.

OK, take us in.

Look out.

(DUTCHY GROANS)

Oh, come on, you stupid...

(GRUNTS) Son of a...

XO: OK.

2Dads?

2Dads?

Anyone ever tell you you've got

Come here, buddy.

DUTCHY: You got him?
Well done, buddy.

It was pretty bad there
for a little while, sir.

Where's Robert?

Oh, jeez, RO, you're not
going to start streaking

to celebrate
my homecoming, are you?

No, I haven't had
a shower in 48 hours.

(SNIFFS) You've got
very effective deodorant, RO.

I tend not to exude odour.

Do you want to join us?

Yeah. I'll just
have a shower first.
