Fishing vessel on my port bow.

This is an Australian warship.

Stop or heave to, or I will fire upon you.

[dramatic music]

XO, one round only 50 yards ahead of the bow.

Gunner, action.

[weapons clicking]

Instant, one round only, 50 yards ahead of the bow.

Engage.

[weapons firing]

[dramatic music]

Vessel not stopping, sir.

XO, one short burst, 50 yards ahead of the bow.

Gunner, one shot burst, 50 yards ahead of the bow.

Engage!

[weapons firing]

[indistinct conversation]

Foreign fishing vessel is slowing, sir.

Slow ahead, both engines.

Slow ahead, both engines.

[dramatic music]

Clear.

Clear.

Clear. [weapons clicking]

Clear.

Clear.

Slew outboard.

Down on one.

[weapons clicking]

Holster, check primaries and secondaries.

[dramatic music]

Do us a favor, mate.

Don't throw up in the RHIB on your first day.

Ease off, Jaff.

You've only been at sea half a dog watch yourself.

Ah, well, four weeks is a long time in the Navy.

Seasick pills.

He's yanking your chain, mate.

They don't work.

Thanks, Jaff.

[dramatic music]

It's my first day on a patrol boat, too.

So we'll do this together, hey?

We'll do it well.

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[engine revving]

What is that foul smell?

Trochus shell, ma'am.

They rot out the fish to get at the shell.

[dramatic music]

Stop there.

Stop there, sir.

I've got some seasick pills here.

Told you they didn't work.

[sighs] Buffer, find me the master, please.

Master, who is the master of this vessel?

Are you the master, sir?

Are you the master of this vessel?

OK, Buffer, get the others forward.

Sir, sir, back.

Sir. - And check the paperwork.

Move back.

Are you aware you are illegally

fishing in Australia's economic exclusion zone?

Where have you come from?

Where have-- Buffer?

Ma'am?

Ah-- [coughs, vomits]

KATE MCGREGOR [OVER COMMS]: Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2,

over.

This is Charlie 2.

KATE MCGREGOR [OVER COMMS]: This is X-ray 2.

Master of vessel denies knowing they're in our EEZ.

A full load of trochus is on board.

Recommend apprehension and tow back to base.

Over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: NAVCOM is agreed X. Leave two of our guys

on the FFV as a standing party.

Charlie 2 out.

Buffer, two men stay on board.

ET, Jaffah.

Good experience for him, ma'am.

Yeah, well, four weeks is a long time in the Navy, I guess.

[theme music]

[music fades]

[electronic beeping]

[door opens, closes]

X.

Sir, I've just finished unpacking.

Great.

We don't dress for dinner on patrol boats.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

No, talk with the navigator.

She'll get you up to speed on our little ways.

Oh, I'm sure I'll pick those things up as I go along, sir.

Uh, look, Kate, I haven't had a chance to talk with you

privately since you joined us.

No.

When we last met on the course,

I never expected we'd end up on the same ship,

you being a big ship sort of person

and me being wedded to patrol boats.

Yes, you're right.

I am a big ship sort of person.

Well, Hammersley, she's only got got about six

months left in her, so--

Mm.

As for anything else that may have happened between us,

I'm sure two professionals can work together, sir?

Yes, I'm sure.

[footsteps]

[velcro separating]

[door opens]

Seaman Webb, stay where you are.

How are you feeling?

Um, fine, sir.

That's interesting.

You look like death warmed up.

That's actually how I feel, sir.

First time away from home?

Yeah.

I know it feels, laying in the same rack,

thinking about mom's roast dinners.

This was once your rack, was it, sir?

Got my initials there somewhere.

Ah.

I understand you did very well today

on your first boarding party.

Yeah.

Keep it up.

Thank you, sir.

Is there ever any trouble with these blokes?

And you'd be referring to that petty officer that got eaten?

Yeah.

Hey, sit down!

Hey, hey, easy, mate.

He's only taking a leak.

Looks like you could use one yourself.

Turn my back on that lot?

No way.

[dramatic music]

Revolutions 3-2-0.

Revolutions 3-2-0.

Run then repeated, ma'am.

Very good.

You know, if you go that way through the channel,

you'll find that it's, um, a--

it's just a suggestion.

Ah, I'll be in the war room updating the operations plan.

Oh, Nav, when you get a sec, will you move

your things to the top rack?

Seniority, better rack.

Right.

[door opens]

- Ah. - Come on up, Charge.

I'm just leaving.

Ma'am, you've got the ship?

I have.

We're currently doing six knots,

so I'd like to take down the port engine

for some maintenance.

Sure. Why not?

Go right ahead.

Aye, ma'am.

[electronic beeping]

Word is you haven't been saluting the ship's mascot.

You're supposed to salute it?

Who is he?

That's Thor, the thunder god.

Oh, my mom wouldn't like me saluting him then.

We're Presbyterian.

Oh.

Well, if you don't, you're going to bring

bad luck onto the ship.

I don't think your mum would want that, would she?

There, that's much better.

Now, as the ship's most recent member,

you've got to do that every time you come on board.

WOMAN [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Commanding officer,

requested at bridge.

[door opens]

I've signaled it for NAVCOM, sir.

Medical emergency on Bright Island.

Currently 70 miles away.

It's a marine biologist, Dr. Lisa Holmes.

She set off an emergency beacon.

She was talking on a satellite phone to NAVCOM

when communications ceased.

Her cellphone broke down?

Well, it seems not, sir.

They could still hear her breathing.

They believe she's unconscious.

OK, we'll break off towing the FFV.

They can follow us under their own steam.

Sir, are we leaving our two men aboard?

FFV is sound.

They won't be far away.

MCI, bridge stop, put main engine in MCI control.

Bridge, port engine still down.

She'll be good to go in about 30 minutes.

Who the hell gave you permission

to take that engine down?

KATE MCGREGOR [OVER COMMS]: It's OK, Charge.

I'll deal with it.

What is it I don't know, X?

Charge asked permission to take down the port engine.

And since we were towing and only doing six knots--

You thought you could give permission

without consulting me.

Get that engine back on line ASAP, Charge.

We've got a medical emergency on Bright Island.

Nav, take the ship.

Aye, sir.

X, we need to talk now.

[door opens, closes]

You were asleep.

[door closes]

Where my ship's concerned, I'm never asleep.

We were to be towing all the way to base.

And now we're not.

No one could have predicted that.

Good planning means being able to deal with the unpredictable.

It's basic to the running of the vessel.

It's about teamwork.

It's about consultation.

It's about not taking over my ship.

Teamwork, but it's your ship.

You're damn right it's my ship, my responsibility.

And teamwork is there to achieve that result.

Very good, sir.

Excuse me.

[door opens, closes]

[sighs]

MAN [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Port, [inaudible] maneuver.

[whirring]

MAN [OVER COMMS]: Sierra 2, this is Charlie 2.

Over. - This is Sierra 2.

Over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: Follow us to Bright Island

and we'll pick up the tow again once this medical emergency is

dealt with.

Over.

This is Sierra 2, confirming we're following

Hammersley to Bright Island.

Over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: Maintain one hourly sched.

We'll see you later.

Out.

How often does this happen?

A nice little bit of a challenge, don't you think?

[door opens, closes]

[ringing]

Hammersley, Lieutenant Commander Flynn.

Lieutenant Smith, NAVCOM, sir.

Commander Marshall wants a word with you.

Mike, are you at Bright Island yet?

We had certain operational difficulties, sir.

Should be there at 1300.

"Operational difficulties"?

Something I need to address?

No, sir.

All sorted this end.

All right.

Keep me posted.

Yes, sir.

"Operational difficulties," ETA 1300.

Operational difficulties, AKA "balls-up."

He does have a bit of a cowboy reputation, right?

Ah, he gets things done his way.

Sir, I feel that--

My ship, my responsibility, X.

Thank you.

Let's just hope we get to Bright Island in time.

Rob, I want you to set up a satellite link

with a doctor at base hospital.

Yes, sir.

The way things are going today, we might need it.

[door opens, closes]

[dramatic music]

[electronic beeping]

Bright Island, people die there.

The locals won't go near it, say it's taboo.

Tell her about the Japanese, mate.

They had a post there in World War II.

And the Navy came to collect them

to tell them the war was over.

The last five were raving mad, saying the place was cursed.

No.

People do say there are big demons there.

You can joke all you like.

No good has ever come out of the place.

Your average Jack Tar's a very superstitious animal.

Don't listen to him, Spider.

Oh, my name's Billy.

I'm Billy Webb.

Yeah, that's right, Spider Webb.

No, I had that all through school.

I joined the Navy to get away from it all.

Good luck with that, Spider.

NAV [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Hear there.

The following personnel have been nominated for shore party

and are to muster at the armory for issue of equipment--

XO, Buffer, Swain, Chefo, Seaman Webb.

That's all.

[sighs] That's it.

Dinner's closed.

I'm off to saved the world, mate.

[dramatic music]

OK, listen up.

Civilian marine biologist Dr. Lisa Holmes is working alone,

broke off partway through a SAT phone call.

Let's move it.

Spider, take these smokes.

Don't give them back to me, no matter what I say.

You've giving up again, eh, Buffer?

Looks that way, Chefo.

Sit down there, Spider.

[dramatic music]

Able, you stay with the team.

We'll do two search teams, one medic each.

Team Alpha Swain with me, that way.

Team Bravo, Buffer, Chefo, Seaman Webb, that way.

Marine research, she'll be camped on the beach.

Let's go.

Chefo, take the beach.

Look for signs of a recent landing.

Spider, with me.

[spits]

Got to admit, she's effective.

Well, she's always been effective.

I'm agreeing.

She's effective.

Yeah.

And on a big ship where you're not all joined at the hip

do you think she'll fit in?

Did you two have a problem at HMAS Watson?

She ran a short course I was on, intermediate navigation.

And?

She was a hard taskmaster.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: [GARBLED] XO [static] Over.

KATE MCGREGOR [OVER COMMS]: [GARBLED] X-ray [static] Over.

X-ray 2, this is Charlie 2.

I'm not receiving.

Over.

Chefo.

KATE MCGREGOR [OVER COMMS]: This is X-ray 2, Team Bravo,

I've found her.

Swain!

[GARBLED] X-ray 2, I've found her.

Over.

X-ray 2, this is Charlie 2.

I'm [GARBLED] not receiving.

[static]

Ah, you're breaking up.

Say again.

Over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: [GARBLED] X-ray 2,

this is [static] receiving.

[gasping]

Lisa, can you tell us what happened?

[panting shallowly]

OK, can you squeeze my hand?

What about your toes?

Try wiggling them for us.

[panting shallowly]

It's all right.

We're going to take care of you, OK?

We could have a spinal injury.

So we can't just take her back to the ship?

No, ma'am, we don't move her.

We need to get a doctor on the radio and find out what to do.

Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2, over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: [GARBLED] X-ray 2 [static] not receiving.

Over.

Oh, great.

Team Bravo, this is X-ray 2, over.

X-ray 2, this Bravo 2.

Over.

We're in a dead spot for the ship.

Send Chefo to us.

And you and Seaman Webb find high ground.

Roger that, X-ray 2.

Chefo, you heard that?

Spider, Spider!

Come on.

Coming.

[panting] Charlie 2, this is Bravo 2, over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: This is Charlie 2, loud and clear.

This is Bravo 2, request you raise base by SAT phone.

We need to talk to a doctor immediately.

Over.

MAN [OVER COMMS]: Roger.

Charlie 2 out.

[gagging]

Walk it off.

[panting]

[dramatic music]

Dr. Poulos, are you online?

Patient can't move her limbs and is having trouble breathing.

We're reluctant to move her.

What do you advise?

Dr. Poulos wants a nose-to-toes examination,

any sign of a spider bite or a snake bite.

Tell them she's in crisis.

Team Bravo, this is X-ray 2.

Over.

BUFFER [OVER COMMS]: Bravo 2, patient

appears to be paralyzed.

She's having trouble breathing.

We could lose her.

Over.

[panting]

[suspenseful music]

[crackling]

Can I help you there, mate?

Oh, not every day we get a visit from the Navy, eh, Sam?

Not every day, Carl, no.

[laughs]

Seaman Bosun's Mate Webb.

Ah, yeah.

It's a medical emergency, a woman scientist.

Oh, right.

She'll be the one camping there near the beach there?

Yeah, that's the one.

And she's in some kind of trouble?

Oh, everything's under control now.

Ah, good.

He's wondering what we're doing here, Sam.

Right, we're in the fishing business,

speciality crustaceans for fish markets

and quality restaurants.

Go on, really?

Yeah.

Cool, is there any money in it?

Making lots of money.

[laughs] You, uh, care to buy a bag?

Yeah, all right, here.

Uh--

Ciggies?

Done, mate.

Awesome.

Cheers, guys.

What do they call you?

Ah, Spider.

Spider, eh?

- I'm Carl. - Carl.

Sam.

Sam.

MAN: [non-english speech]

Charlie 2, this is Sierra 2, over.

MAN: [non-english speech]

Charlie 2, this is Sierra 2.

Over.

I can't understand you.

Do you know what he's trying to say?

[non-english speech]

Oh, he's probably not to stoked about going to Bright

Island on account of the curse.

Oh, don't you start.

[sighs]

Charlie 2, this is Sierra 2.

Nothing heard.

Out.

[non-english speech]

We're out of contact, aren't we?

Ah, these things need line of sign at the best times.

Yeah, all we need.

Don't worry, mate, it's probably just

the curse of Bright Island.

Ah, we're all doomed.

You're really enjoying, aren't you?

Yes.

Yes!

SWAIN [OVER COMMS]: Sir, they reckon she's getting worse.

Her neck's swelling up, and she's gasping for air.

Roger.

Dr. Poulos, is there anything they can do for her breathing?

Swain, Dr. Poulos says you need to get air into her lungs.

And for that, she needs an emergency tracheo--

tracheotomy-- tracheostomy.

Swain?

Swain, are you still there?

Uh, yeah, I'm still here.

I've, um, I've just never done one of those.

Well, you've got to do one now.

We could lose her.

I'm going to talk you through it, mate.

OK, roger.

I've got to give her a tracheostomy.

Isn't that the cutting of the throat up at the--

[gasping]

Lisa, we've got a doctor on line

and he's going to be talking us through it, OK?

OK, you're going to need a scalpel or a very sharp knife.

[gasping]

Yeah, we've got a scalpel.

After making the incision, you're

going to need to insert a tube.

He's asking whether or not there's

something called a trache tube in the first aid kit?

No.

Are you sure?

Ma'am, I check those kits every time I go to sea

and I've never even heard of a trache tube.

What's a trache tube?

[gasping]

Ah, it's anything, a piece of tubing.

Chefo, do you want to check her gear?

Maybe there's something there we could cannibalize.

Anything, mate, OK?

We're running out of time.

[gasping]

[dramatic music]

MAN [OVER COMMS]: What's happening, Buffer?

They're still looking for a tube, sir.

Tell her she's got a pistol, use it.

You want him to shoot her?

Tell X to break down her Browning,

remove the 9mm barrel, use it as a tube.

Over.

I've got it.

Shoot her.

Well, that's one way of ending a crisis.

OK, got it, Buffer.

You want to take the radio.

Go ahead.

OK, the doctor said you're looking for an indentation

just below where the Adam's apple would be on a bloke.

[gasping]

Yeah, OK, got it.

OK, he got it.

Right.

You need to make a one centimeter horizontal incision

about one centimeter deep.

[sighs]

[gasping intensifies] [panting]

Just do it, mate.

Think like you're filleting a fish.

[rapid panting]

[dramatic music]

Mm.

OK, all right, pinch the incision to open it.

Insert the tube half an inch to an inch deep.

[ragged panting]

OK.

Charlie 2, this is Bravo 2.

Patient's breathing again.

We're leaving the ridge now.

We'll transport her back to the Hammersley.

Roger.

Well done, Buff.

Out.

Where have you been?

Shopping or what?

I ran into some fishermen.

Scored some crabs for Chefo, eh?

Nice work.

Come on.

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[engine revving]

[non-english speech]

What's all that about?

Oh, he just said he was hungry, and you look delicious.

I could do some scran myself.

Where the hell's Hammersley?

They might have forgotten about you, Jaff.

There's no way they're not coming back for me.

You reckon the XO and Nav both want your body, don't you?

Ah, that'd be the natural order of things, yeah.

[laughs] Hey--

Look, they got to eat, but I want

you to keep an eye on them.

[electronic beeping]

All right?

Yeah.

Take it slow again.

Just be really careful with her neck, guys.

Haven't ruled out spinal.

I'm really sorry, ma'am.

I can't give you anything for the pain.

It might affect your breathing.

Just try and relax, OK, because we're doing everything we can.

Just moisten her lips or something,

just to keep her comfortable.

I'm going to go and tidy up.

Be right back.

How's Swain doing?

He did first rate job in adverse circumstances.

Just what was going on at the island?

Well, she was camped there with

scientific and diving gear, which I've

sent the team back to collect.

But what she was doing, working there on her own,

I have no idea.

[BREATHING WHISTLING THROUGH TUBE]

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

Swain?

How you feeling?

I was out of my depth, sir.

If you were fully-qualified doctor, you

wouldn't be on a patrol boat.

No, but--

The XO said you did a first rate job.

[sighs] I never had any trouble using appropriate force

when I was a copper, but--

putting that knife to that lady's throat--

[sighs]

You saved her life.

Yeah, but I nearly froze out there, sir.

Well, I'd rather you did that than enjoy it.

[laughs] Yeah.

How's the wife?

How's Sal?

She's glowing, sir.

Second trimester, halfway through.

You'll make a good dad.

You reckon?

Yes, I do.

[knocking]

Ah, sir?

We still can't get radio contact with our guys

on the fishing boat.

[engine thumping]

[non-english speech]

What's up?

He can't get the gas lit.

You should see this thing he's going to try and cook on.

Well, they're not living.

In the lap of luxury like we do there's no chefs for them.

Oh, you feeling sorry for them now?

Yeah, but they're scooping up fish out of our reserves.

We need them there for our kids and their kids.

[non-english speech]

[flames whoosh]

[non-english shouting]

Stand back!

Stand back!

[non-english shouting]

Get down here, quick!

What's going on?

[suspenseful music]

[non-english shouting]

Smother it.

The gas bottle. The gas bottle.

The gas bottle.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Jaff.

Go on, mate. Just smother it.

Contain it.

It's spreading too fast.

- [non-english shouting] - Towards the edge.

Over this side. Near the edge.

[non-english speech]

Jaff, move it.

Come on.

Get them out of here.

We're going to have to abandon ship.

What have we got on radar, Nav?

Nothing remotely near where the fishing boat ought to be.

It doesn't make sense unless--

They're almost impossible to sink.

Get us there as fast as we can. - Roger, sir.

Revolutions 8-8-0.

RO!

There's such a thing as a pipe, sir.

Keep trying to raise ET and Jaffah.

As I was doing when you shouted, sir.

How we going, Nav?

I factored in their speed from the last known position.

The foreign fishing vessel's got a compass

so they should be on course.

Yet still nothing on radar.

[door opens, closes]

How's our patient?

Not good, sir.

[ringing]

Take it, X. Should be NAVCOM.

Hammersley, Lieutenant McGregor.

Right.

[knocking]

Swain, NAVCOM have been in touch with her firm.

Her boss is a Dr. Ursula Morrell and says

that Dr. Holmes has been running tests on the waters

off Bright Island.

So what does that tell us?

Speculation, but we could be looking at a sea-born toxin

or even an allergic reaction.

Well, that's as specific as they got?

Except it's clearly poisoning of some kind.

Is there any treatment they're saying

we should be administering?

Dr. Poulos says to continue as you are, manage the symptoms,

keep breathing.

And, uh, he said get her back to base ASAP.

When is it going to be, ma'am?

As soon as we find ET and Jaffah.

Swain, we're all doing the best we can.

I know, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

[breathing becomes labored]

Relax, relax.

Can I do anything?

It's going to be OK.

Just bring some gauze here.

It's fine.

We're going to get you back there as soon as possible.

[GENTLY] OK, relax.

Shh.

Are you OK?

Just keep at arm's length, OK?

You OK, guys?

Ah.

It's freezing.

No, it's not.

We're too close to the equator.

Do we have any sharks in these waters?

Nah, saltwater crocodiles scare them away.

Crocodiles?

I'm joking.

No, we'll be fine.

Why?

How?

I grabbed a flare.

What?

Why didn't you tell me?

Let's use it. - I doubt we need to.

They'll see the smoke.

Where are they?

Hey, they'll find us, all right?

[dramatic music]

I hope they're OK.

I hope there hasn't been like a mutiny or anything.

Ah, they're just skinny little fishermen, Spider.

You got my smokes?

Eh?

My smokes, you got them?

You said not to give them to you.

That was then.

This is now.

Yeah, but you said even if you asked.

Spider, I'm a gentle man.

Don't tempt me to violence.

I kind of swapped them for some crabs.

You what?

I told you on the island.

I met those fishermen.

And you gave them my smokes.

Yeah, it was a pretty good deal.

Sorry, sir.

Don't call me "sir."

I work for a living.

Sorry, Buffer.

What happens if we don't find them?

We'll find them.

But what if we don't?

We keep looking.

How long do we keep looking?

Until we find them.

It's going to be all right.

ET?

You OK, Jaffah?

What?

ET, something just touched my leg.

It's probably my foot.

Oh, no!

There it is again. - Just settle down.

Settle down. - No!

No! It did.

I promise. I swear!

Something's touching my leg!

[non-english shouting]

Settle down, Jaff!

Settle down, all right?

Look at me. Look at me.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Now you're going to be fine, all right?

OK.

We OK?

[suspenseful music]

You know, I've almost given up the smokes, Buff.

But on the other hand, I should start again.

Buff, I've got some chewy here.

Give it here.

Buff.

Chefo, we'll get out of your road, sir.

No, you're all right.

Anything, Buff?

Nothing, sir.

[suspenseful music]

ET?

What?

Look, I'm not really one for speeches,

but, um, you know, in case anything happens to us,

I just want you know it's been a real honor serving with you.

Yeah?

You're a great seaman and, um, you're a good bloke too.

And, uh, and I think I've learnt some really

important stuff from you. Like--

All right, just calm down.

- No, let me finish. - No, no, no.

Calm down.

I think I can see the top of mast.

What?

Oh, I see it.

I see it!

Hey, guys.

[whoosh]

Sir!

Flare, green 9-0.

Let's get there, Nav.

Prepare the ship for men overboard recovery.

Aye, sir.

Spider, let's go.

Nice work, Navvy.

NIKKI CAETANO [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Hear, hear there.

Navigator speaking.

We have sighted personnel in water.

Stand by to recover by sea boat.

They found ET and Jaffah.

You'd better go, ma'am.

X!

She stopped breathing.

And there's no pulse.

We're going to have perform CPR.

I'll give her two breaths.

You need to give 30 compressions in the middle of the chest,

both palms.

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Ready?

Yeah.

[exhaling heavily] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7--

[suspenseful music]

--26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

[exhaling heavily] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5--

[engine revving]

Told you.

Couldn't do without me.

[laughs]

Good day, boys.

Next time you have a pool party, boys,

why don't you invite the rest of the class?

Yes!

Your hand, sir.

Yeah, get him up.

BOTH: --26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

I've got a pulse.

I'll go again, Swain.

I want to go again.

Go again.

Two breaths.

Yes, ma'am.

[exhaling heavily]

BOTH: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5--

[grunts]

Sorry, guys, that's all we can fit on.

Oh, come on.

There's no more room, sorry.

Come on!

Well, ladies first, yeah?

--25, 26, 27, 28, 29--

is there-- [panting] is there a pulse?

[QUIETLY] Is there a pulse?

[sighs]

[somber music]

[QUIETLY] I'm sorry.

[somber music]

Hey, what's this?

Soup.

Ah, I hate soup.

Well, you'll drink it or I'll get Buffer to throw

you back where he found you.

Hey, not bad.

Hey, the woman you got off Bright Island, she all right?

She didn't make it.

Hey, Swain, what'll it be?

Ah, soup it is.

Mate, I heard about the woman.

Yeah, well, maybe I did something wrong.

Don't know.

Man, you can't think like that.

You did the best you could.

So, ET, who set the FFV alight?

You or Jaff? - Jaff.

Yeah, that figures.

You know, I picked him for an arsonist

the moment he came on board.

[laughs]

Hey, you OK?

Yeah, fine.

A bit cold, but fine.

MAN [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Clear lower deck.

Clear lower deck.

Clear lower deck.

All personnel not on watch muster fo'c'sle.

Sorry, Jaff.

He's going to have you flogged as an example.

[laughs]

I want to congratulate you all for the professionalism

with which you've handled the events of the past few days.

We've had a death on board, but it was unavoidable.

At least we know we did our best.

When we hit port, there will be a Critical Incident

Stress Management team available for counseling services.

Nav, set course for home.

That's all.

So are you going to buy me a drink when

we get back to shore, ma'am?

Haven't you heard about the non-fraternization

rule for shipmates?

Oh, yeah, I've heard about it, but, you know--

All right then.

[laughs]

[somber music]

You OK?

Not really, no.

No?

I've never been present when anyone has died before.

Right.

She just went.

She was, um, she was there, and then she was gone.

It can be like that.

When we get to base, there's one last thing we have to do.

Lisa Holmes, she needs to be ID'd.

[somber music]

[beeping]

Greg Murphy, federal police.

Lieutenant Commander, Mike Flynn.

This is Lieutenant Kate McGregor.

How do you do?

The identification is going to be

done by Dr. Holmes' employer.

Not family?

Her family's in Melbourne.

Dr. Morrell, Lieutenant Commander

Flynn, Lieutenant McGregor.

Hi.

Were you with Lisa when she died?

I was, with our coxswain, Petty Officer Blake.

What did she--

did she say anything to you?

When we found her on the island, she was conscious.

But she was unable to speak or move.

She knew better than to go there alone.

Can we do this?

Yes.

We need a formal statement.

This is the body of Lisa Jane Holmes.

[sobs] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm-- ah, I'm usually under much better control than this.

It's understandable.

And you're sure Lisa said nothing,

I mean about what happened?

I'm sure.

What do you make of all that?

I really feel for her.

Do you?

She made a command decision that went very bad.

Yes.

Lost a team member as a result.

The sort of thing that can happen to us.

You didn't think that--

sir, she is a very striking woman.

And I wouldn't blame you if you were a little smitten with her,

but I--

[laughs] Excuse me?

The moment that she leaned against your chest for support,

I mean, you didn't find that to be a little calculated?

No.

[laughs]

No?

It's got to be another woman to see it, I guess.

And she really wanted to make sure that Dr.

Holmes hadn't said anything.

I think we'll leave it there, don't you?

Sure.

It's-- it's a feeling thing, feminine instinct, if you like.

I'm getting the impression we can really make this work.

You?

I don't see why not.

I mean, I understand the patrol boats

are just a stepping stone on your way to being rear admiral.

Chief of Navy.

Chief of the Navy?

[laughs]

But I think we can put that other thing behind us.

"Other thing"?

that's what I call it, "other thing."

You've been on Hammersley now--

48 hours, sir.

Welcome aboard.
