All language subtitles for Sea Patrol S02E07

Previously on Sea Patrol...

SITREP, insurgent groups
are active in the area.

Drop your weapon!

Welcome to the Samaru Islands.

Canberra is formalising
a peace-keeping arrangement,

so we can expect to be back here
over the coming months.

So where's this SAS team
we're transporting?

May I have the pleasure?

Get some compression
on those wounds.

Insurgents.

We're under fire!
Repeat - under fire!

They were trained.
They were military.

It won't happen again.

Rifle belong my husband.

Was his father's too. From big war.

Yes, it's an M1 Carbine.
It's an antique from WWII.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Deciding to hand over their weapons
isn't easy for these people.

So you think a gun amnesty
on Samaru isn't going to work?

Sometimes guns are status symbols

that have been in their
village for generations.

Well, every one
that we collect

is going to make life safer
for the peacekeepers, isn't it?

Clear.

Uh, X, I might just, um...

Bomber, can you hold the queue?
Sure.

Excuse me, mate.
G'day.

You buy? $35 American.

Uh, no, we're not paying money.
What's your name?

Saka.
Saka.

I'll take $30.

Where did you get this?
No lower than $25. It's new.

Saka, do you mind
if I take a look...

No. Not without pay.
I show you how good.

Hey, lower your weapon!

It's clear!

- Is everyone alright?
- What's going on?

You OK?
Yeah.

Come on, sir, you'll be fine.

This is the weapon that he had.

This weapon is brand-new.

Good thing we have
a gun amnesty, huh?

Weapons like this
are very dangerous.

Put it somewhere safe.

In the wrong hands, it's disturbing
to think what could happen?

Of course, that weapon
is slated for destruction

under the terms of the amnesty.

Of course it will be destroyed, once
I have completed my investigation.

A crime has been committed.
That is evidence.

It's a Heckler & Koch MP5.

We need to know where he got it.

So you want me to question him?
We'd be grateful.

You, uh... you like
American cop shows, huh?

You know, good cop, bad cop.
Grill the perp.

Come on.

If kids are getting their hands
on this sort of thing,

it gives you an idea of
what sort of hardware's out there.

Ow!

Hey! He's just a kid. What the hell
do you think you're doing?

Questioning suspect.

Well, maybe not quite
so much bad cop. OK?

It's alright, Swain.
Sergeant Toka is helping us.

Look, I just found it,

in the jungle against a tree.

Sitting there.

It's alright, mate,
you haven't done anything wrong.

So you pay me for it?

What have you done this time?
Nothing. I found a gun.

Don't lie!
I'm not.

I'm telling the truth.

Hey! Alright.
Hey. It's his mother.

She knows best. Take him home.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I told you to stay away
from that man.

I found it going to school.
You're always in trouble.

Sergeant, if that weapon's
linked to the insurgency,

we'd like to know.

I hear a lot of talk
about these insurgents.

Really just bandits and criminals
living in the hills, making trouble.

I hope that turns out to be the case.

That boy doesn't know any more
than what he's already told me.

Maybe, maybe not. But...

His family are good people.

They'll make sure he doesn't
get into any more trouble.

Something tells me
the wheels of justice

move pretty slowly in Samaru.

They have a legal system here,
and it works.

We have to liaise with
the locals, remember?

Yeah, I know.
I don't have to like it.

Is it worth going over
Sergeant Toka's head?

He's the highest-ranked policeman
on the island.

Some information
just through from NAVCOM.

The serial numbers on
the Heckler & Koch matches

one of a batch
stolen from a warehouse

in Melbourne two weeks ago.

You're kidding!
RO, how many in the batch?

I believe 50.

So this girl actually agreed
to go out with you.

Yes!

Sorry, I'm not casting aspersions
or anything, mate.

Your strike rate
has been pretty low.

Monica's different.
Monica?

So that's her name.

This isn't a relationship
where money changes hands, is it?

Hey, don't jinx it, Swaino.

Alright.

You don't know how lucky you are
to have a girl like Sal.

Yep.

What is it?

Come on.

Come on.

Um...

Sally wants me to apply
for a shore posting.

No way. Why?
Everything.

9-month-old baby, all alone.

You know, she needs me around.
It's not easy for her.

Yeah, mate, I can understand
all that, but why?

Well, I'm missing out on things too,

like little things
that Chloe's learning to do,

all those moments that don't
come around twice, you know?

Can't see you in a desk job, mate.

Swain, the serial number's
come up trumps.

On the gun you confiscated.
Right. Sorry.

We got to talk to
our friend Toka again.

Hey, Rhino, Hershell,
can you give us a hand here?

Still not answering, sir.

Well, be patient with him. He's
the only police force we've got.

Still, all he has to do
is pick up a phone.

It's a nice day for a walk,
isn't it?

G'day, stranger.

Hello. What are you doing here?

Well, I've come to see you.

On important military business.
Oh.

I've organised our next date.

Really? And where are we going?

Well, I can't say
but it's very exotic,

so next time you have shore leave,
give me a call.

G'day, Aussie!

G'day, Saka.

Found anything dangerous lately?
No.

If I do, I tell you.

Alright.

Hey. Hey!

Let him go! Get back!

Get over here.

Get back! Get back!

Saka!

It's OK. It's OK,
we'll get him back.

It's a family dispute.

It's an abduction.
Mmm. Makka, good coffee.

It's a local matter.

You want something else? A cake?

No, look, this was not
a family dispute.

His mother was distraught.

Now, she said she'd
never seen the men before.

So you questioned her?

She volunteered
the information, yes.

Then I should conduct
a proper investigation, you agree?

We appreciate that, Sergeant Toka.

We view this matter very seriously.

The boy was in possession of...
Saka.

Saka was in possession of a weapon
stolen in Australia.

Suddenly that weapon
appears on Samaru.

That should be of concern to you.

Well, of course it is.

Thanks, Makka.

I'm hoping Saka's abduction
isn't connected to this weapon,

but if it is,
we need to know about it.

And I'm sure
you'll do your very best.

At least I would have gotten

the registration number
of that vehicle.

Look, it was a beige
LandCruiser ute.

Do you open your eyes
when you walk around Samaru?

You will notice every second vehicle
is a beige LandCruiser ute.

I can't help feeling

that we're somewhat responsible
for this situation.

How so? We're peacekeepers,
not policemen.

Yeah, but what if Saka did know
something about those machine guns

and what if they didn't
like him talking to us?

I don't like this
any more than you do.

But this is a job
for the local authorities.

Sir, I wouldn't trust Toka to issue
a parking ticket, and nor would you.

Our job is not to question our
standing orders and you know that.

The local police have the land,
we have the sea.

Yeah, well...

Everything alright with Swain?

He feels frustrated with
the situation, like everyone.

Well, let's stick to what we can do.

We'll resume our patrols.

Give the order to cast off.
Sir.

How's that waypoint looking, X?

Uh, distance to waypoint
is 32 miles, sir.

Slightly to starboard,
coming left to regain.

Port 5, steer 180.
Port 5, steer 180.

Give us a hoy
when you're done, mate.

Uh, no, no. It's all yours.

You sure?
Yeah.

I'm getting square eyes anyway.

Thanks, mate.

I keep staring at Monica's emails,

trying to remember what her voice
sounds like and I can't.

This doesn't compare to
real communication, does it?

Does it?

Nice to see you too!

Mm?

Uh, Robert, I need to
make a phone call.

Well, you'll need to book a time...

Yeah, I've already got
the CO's permission.

Well, that's alright, then.

Robert, this is a private call.

Well, I can appreciate that.

So I'd like to make it in private.

Regulations require
that during operational duties,

either myself or the CO be present

whenever the sat phone is in use.

Robert, I need you
to make an exception.

I can't do that.
Robert, I need to speak to my wife!

Now, give me a break.

Sorry.

I won't listen in.

Sal, it's me. I...

There's no-one here at present.

Just leave a message after the beep

and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.

Sal, it's me. Are you there?

Please, please, pick up
if you're there, darl.

OK, just, um...

Just email me when you get in, OK,
and I'll call you back.

Just let me know
when's a good time, OK?

We need to talk, babe.

Please.

I love you.

Thanks.

- Captain, sir, officer of the watch.
- Captain.

Sorry to wake you, boss.

I've got a suspicious radar contact
bearing 170, range 11 miles.

What have we got, Nav?
It's not a fishing vessel.

They're moving at about 30 knots.

Bring us round to intercept.

Um, coming to 170.
I've got it, ET.

Thanks, boss.

Course set. 170.
Thank you, boss.

Anything on the EOD?

Uh, any second, sir.

Uh, boss, you might
want to take a look at this.

A Puccini 52.

Nav, where's that file?

Um, RO's got it, X.
Dark colouring.

Charge.
Sir.

The blokes who stabbed you
escaped on one of these.

Well, if it is the same boat,
they're a long way from Australia.

Sir, this is an image
taken on the EOD on that day.

You reckon that's it?
There's definitely a resemblance.

Let's lose the nav lights,
see what they're up to.

Sir.

Nav lights off.

Um, they're slowing down
to 10 knots and they're...

They're heading towards a beach.

What's the depth there?

Four metres.
No, we can't follow.

OK, let's hold our position,
see what's going on.

Slow ahead both engines.
Slow ahead both engines.

- Is that a Zodiac.
- Yeah, that's a Zodiac.

I count... three men,

and they're transporting something,
maybe crates, something.

Guns.
Possibly.

X.

How do we handle this?

OK, they're off-loading
the crates onto the shoreline.

And they're dumping them
just beyond the tree lines.

Sir?
It's a police matter.

What if they're supplying guns
to the insurgents, sir?

Charge, we don't have
jurisdiction here.

What I can do is give our favourite
police sergeant a call.

He can't ignore this one.

My only consolation is
it's 4:00 in the morning.

Uh, Sergeant Toka,
it's Mike Flynn here.

Sorry to wake you,
but we have a situation.

Sergeant.

Thanks for getting your men
together at such short notice.

Resources are stretched
very thin at present.

Let's hope this is worth it.
I'm sure it will be.

We had them under surveillance
as they unloaded their cargo

from a motor vessel offshore.

They dropped these crates here -

in an area that's not really
visible from the beach.

I'm afraid you might be
wasting my time.

Why's that?

The writing on these crates suggest
this is agricultural equipment.

Why would you need to unload
agricultural equipment

in the dead of night?
So you think guns?

Well, someone's supplying weapons
to the insurgents.

That's where those machine guns
came from yesterday.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I wish it had been better news.

It's good we can cooperate
in these matters

but next time, might want to
check your facts first, huh?

Move.

Sergeant!

I believe guns were
unloaded from that cruiser

and you were the only one we told.

Are you suggesting something?

Those crates were switched.

Are you questioning my integrity?

Sergeant, suddenly,
I'm questioning everything.

Police corruption
isn't the end of the world.

Yeah, but it means
we're on our own, doesn't it?

If it's one rogue cop,
we can live with that.

It's never one.

It's a personal opinion.

If it's institutionalised
corruption, we're in trouble.

It becomes a political problem.

And after all, the SAS
are training these guys.

Either way, I'll report this incident

to the Coalition
Taskforce Headquarters.

Look, don't we give way
to rank anymore?

I'm not prying.

We don't have to talk
if you don't want to.

Her mum emailed finally.

Sal's gone to Perth.

To her parents' place.

She won't be answering my calls,
apparently.

At least, that's what I'm told.

She left me.

I mean, she's right, of course.

What kind of father can I hope to be

when I'm stuck out here
months at a time?

You know, Swain, my dad
was on destroyers.

He was away all the time.

But when he was home,
he was home all the time.

And we have a great relationship.

I know you're gonna have that
with Chloe. I know you will.

I know you will.

Yeah.

Um, I'm gonna suggest something.
Mm, please do.

Can you talk to the boss
about some R and R?

I think some of the crew need it,
trust me.

I already have.
Really?

Mm-hm.
Yeah.

You've noticed that
the crew's morale is really...

Low? Very.
Yeah.

Oh, well, good.

I guess we can all do with a break.
I totally agree.

OK. Thank you.
Right.

Come in.

Robert, I'm sorry about before, mate.

It's alright.

Go ahead, but I have to stay.

Thanks.

Hear there?
Captain speaking.

We'll be closing up specials and
proceeding towards Sambong Wharf.

Leave will be granted until 1600.

The X will post a list of those
required on board as duty watch.

The rest of you, enjoy yourselves.

That's all.

Bob. Hi, it's Chris, mate.

Yeah, I know, mate.
That's why I'm calling you.

You're her dad. You know her
better than anyone, right?

Outta here. There he is!

Just the man.
You are coming with us.

What? What do you mean?

We've got shore leave. We're
gonna go for a spot of fishing.

Hire a tinny, couple of rods,
chill out. You need it.

It's gonna cheer you up.

Guys, I appreciate it,
but no, thanks.

Whoa.

Really, no.

So, where are we going?

Well, I did promise you
an exotic destination.

Ooh, how covert!

Oh, come on. Where are we going?

Patience.

Is that the X in that Zodiac?

Uh, dunno. Is it?

Where's she going?
All the action's in town with us.

Maybe she doesn't think so.

$20 for three hours?
That sounds great.

Yeah, Cath, you know her
better than anyone.

Yeah, probably better than me.

So you'll talk to her, yeah?

Right. Thanks, mate. Cheers. 'Bye.

Mate, I'm not telling you
what to do,

but maybe you should
give it a rest for a while.

Really? Sounds like
you're telling me what to do.

Well, I'm not.

Yeah, well, you just did.

Mate, you just need to unwind a bit.

Hey, Vanessa? Hi. Look, you, um...

Whose idea was this?

It's not one of his better ones.

No, we're only just fishing, mate.

Something's come up.
I was wondering if you...

Sorry, Vanessa, I'll call you back.

Hey!

What?
That's the ute.

What... ute? What... Ah, God!

And this is Saka's.

You sure?
Yeah, I'm positive.

Eh... where you gonna go fishing?
Dunno. Where's good?

Oh, can be good there.

Hey!

The men from that ute,
did they come here?

Sure. They hired a boat.

Did they have a little boy
with them?

Yeah. Three men and a boy.
This morning.

Which way did they go?

Hmm. That way.

Round the island. Take right.

Jim, this is beautiful.

It gets better.

Follow me.

Where are we going?
You'll find out when we get there.

Um, Jim...

..would there be snakes through here?

Hello, Michelle?

Oh, thanks for getting back to me.
You got my message, yeah?

Listen, I was just wondering if you
could have a chat with Sal

and just... I don't know,
see if you can work...

Hello? Hello?

There goes the signal.

What's the DCO doing
about the situation?

Defence Community Organisation.

You've called them, haven't you?

No, I...

You're the health
and welfare officer

and you haven't called the DCO.

Yeah, no, I'll definitely
give that a go, mate. Cheers.

Can we head back, Swaino?

This is my one day fishing.

What are the chances of
finding a tinny out here?

There's a little boy out there.
God knows what's happened to him.

It's a grey tinny with a black swan
emblem. Let's just concentrate.

It is amazing here.

My patrol found it last week.

It's perfect.

Hey...

Is there anything wrong?

After all the phone calls
and the emailing,

it feels funny to be alone together,
you know?

There's something wrong.

Nothing's wrong.

Come on! Hurry up!

Down here.
Yeah, we're coming!

Oh!
Quick...

Cross here.

I've seen those men before.

They were unloading weapons
from a boat.

It's all starting to make sense.

They're training the locals.
What, mercenaries?

Just keep...

Yeah!

This is ridiculous, Swain.

There!
Sit down.

Is that it, Swaino?

Well, if it's a grey tinny,
let's go have a look.

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?
No noise!

Be quiet!

You OK?
Yeah.

This is gonna get tricky.

It already is. It can't
get much worse than that.

You left your bag.

Got no weapon, got no radio. So this
is what happens when I get romantic.

Is this their base?

We scoured the area.

There was no previous signs
of occupation.

But there is a clearing downstream.

Well, it's remote and quiet. Nobody's
going to interrupt them here.

No stopping. Keep moving!

You go and get the police.
I'll survey the area.

No. I have a few issues with that.

Firstly, the police are corrupt

and Sergeant Toka
is definitely compromised.

And secondly, I'm coming with you.

Kate...
You are NOT gonna win an argument.

I'm coming with you.
OK. Shh, shh.

Swaino, they don't look like
the typical Samaruan to me, mate.

Oi, what are we doing?

They might be armed. We're not.

He's right, mate. We haven't
exactly thought this through.

He's just a little kid. Do you wanna
leave him on the island on his own?

Course not.

What do you wanna do, Swaino?
It's your call.

We're tourists. We're just fishing.

G'day, fellas.

Oi...

Forget it. We can't search
the whole island, mate.

Yeah, but he's there
somewhere, mate.

Let's head back to the 'Hammersley',
check in with the boss.

Alright.

Saka.

Jim, he's one of the local kids.

We can't leave him here!
Yes, we can.

We're totally outnumbered.
No!

Stay.

Kate, what can we do
without support?

We need to get outta here.

OK, if you wanna go, you go.

But I am not leaving here
without him.

The boat was here -
in the time they'd been ashore,

they could have covered
quite a bit of territory.

Or buried a body.

It's a possibility.

I recommend we deploy
a search party, sir.

It's a pretty big area.

Well, sir, you're the one
who's always saying

we're limited here
but we do what we can.

We CAN do this.

Look, we've got another problem.

The XO hasn't returned
from shore leave.

That's not like her.
No, she's like clockwork.

I thought she was off getting
some basic training with the SAS.

Leave expired 20 minutes ago.

She was last seen
heading north-west.

Let's pipe specials in five minutes.
Yes, sir.

In the meantime, plot a search plan.

Aye, sir.

So, how did you find the weapons?

Look, I promise,
I just stumbled on them.

Then no-one told you
where they were?

No, I just found them.
No-one told you?

No!

You spoke to the Australians.

I was only trying to make money.
I didn't know.

Didn't know?
Didn't know the guns were yours.

Who do you think they belonged to,
little pigeon, huh? The police?

The Australians - what do they know?
I don't know.

Well, what did you TELL THEM?
Nothing!

We have to do something.

Kate, you know the boy.
You have feelings.

But we have to get out of here.

He is just a kid.
We cannot leave him here.

If we do, they'll kill him.
You know better than anyone.

I haven't got a radio.
I haven't got a gun.

Here. Hold this.

Please!

They left in a Zodiac.
They may be still with it.

May have broken down.
We just don't know.

We'll start with the nearest island.

The rope is chafing, hmm?

A bit.

I can loosen it

if you tell me
what the Australians know.

What are those fools doing now?

What's going on?

Watch the boy!

The boy's gone!

You, you, you - go down that way.

Secure the area!

Charlie 82, this is X-ray 82.

Charlie 82, this is X-ray 82.
Come in.

Charlie 82, this is X-ray 82.
Come in.

This is Charlie 82.
Where are you, X? Over.

Request immediate support.

I can only give you
an approximate location.

The eastern tip of Baru Island,
approximately one mile inland.

That's the island Saka's on.

You two, that way.

Almost there, Saka.

Get in the boat!

Get in!

Hold your fire! Go, go, go!

Move!

Glad to see you, X.
Not half as glad as I am to see you.

Saka!
G'day, mate.

Jeez, you get around, don't ya?

You took your time getting here.
He needs plenty of TLC.

He's been through a lot.

He was being interrogated
by the mercenaries.

- Thanks to our friend Sergeant Toka.
- That's a pretty safe bet.

Sir, the men on the cruiser,
they are mercenaries,

but they're not just supplying
the locals with weapons.

They're training them as well.
There's no doubt about it.

Alright, we'd better debrief
before I call NAVCOM.

Yes, sir.

Hey... you OK?

Yeah.

Come on, you misers.
It's for a good cause.

What's the charity?
Thank you, Nav.

It's for Saka - and I know
you can afford it,

'cause I heard you won big
in a poker game.

Yeah, don't...
say that too loud, Swain.

Mm-hm?

$50?
Mm-hm.

Very good.

Well, I didn't win big
in a poker game,

and even I can beat that.

Thank you, Charge.

Buffer? Come on, mate.
Your love life's going well.

Surely you're feeling a wave of
generosity towards your fellow man.

Yeah, I'm feeling a wave of
something, Swaino.

Since when did you become
Mother Teresa?

Since Samaru Islands, I guess.

Thanks, guys. That's great.

Oh! Robert.

Watch out for the moths, Swain.

Come on. Five?

I've only got $15!
Well, come on.

Thank you. Hopefully it'll be enough.

- Cheers, guys.
- No worries.

Hmm?

Mum!

Thank you so much!
He's a very good boy.

You take him home.
Thank you.

Look after yourself.

Nothing's gonna happen to that boy.

Well, I'm sure his mother
will take good care of him.

No, you're not listening to me.

NOTHING is gonna happen to that boy.

I'm holding you personally
responsible for Saka's welfare.

See, I know your type.

I know what you're capable of.

Consider this a payment
in good faith.

'Cause if anything happens to him -
anything...

..I'm coming looking for you.

You can count on it.

Everything alright over there?

Yeah, just... working with
the local authorities, sir.

Thank you, sir.
Pleasure.

That's bold, in front of the crew.

Oh, they'll get over it.

It's a shame our afternoon
was ruined.

There'll be plenty more.

Promise?

Absolutely.

You stay safe, yeah?

You didn't tell me
where you were going.

I didn't know.

Not very professional.

Sir, we're heading home.
We don't need another debriefing.

Oh, it's not a debriefing.
Sounds like one.

Can't I be concerned?
Yeah, sure.

Just don't make it
sound like a debriefing.

So are you gonna call, um...
Oh, sorry, mate. What's her name?

Monica.

Yeah, I already have.
I'm meeting her at the Imperial.

Wanna come and have a beer,
meet her?

Nah, not right now, mate.

What, have you got plans
or something?

Well, I just...

Hi.

I thought you were
supposed to be in Perth.

Hug me, you idiot.

You didn't need to send me
a social worker.

Had about 20 people call me
all of a sudden,

totally out of the blue.

Yeah.

Some of them I haven't
spoke to for months.

And they told me
that you called them.

I'm sorry, I just...

I didn't know what else to do.

It was just... I needed
to get some sleep - for once.

And I did.

And now...

..everything's sort of making sense.

I can get that shore posting
if you want.

I don't want you to do that.

This is your job. I get that,
and I know how much it means to you.

But it has to work
for me and Chloe too.

We've got a lot of work to do,
don't we?

Yeah, we do.

Sorry.
