[music playing]

Boss, there's a boat ahead.

There's smoke coming from it.

An old Halverson.

Nice.

Let's go to find out what the problem is.

You all right there, mate.

I wasn't expecting the Australian Navy to turn up.

We like to be of service.

What's the problem?

Oh, it's just-- it's just a bit of engine trouble.

I should be able to fix it.

Dad!

How about we send one of our techos over to take a look?

Sure, if you can spare the time, that'd be great.

Good.

ET?

You and Swain take the RHIB.

Lend some assistance if you can.

On it, boss.

Charge, what happened?

Oh, I went and saw the eye doctor like you suggested, sir,

and he reckons the smoke from the fire

must have aggravated my, um, cornea.

Is it going to be OK?

Yeah, yeah.

Doc reckons I just need to wear the patch

to rest it and allow the, uh--

Cornea.

Cornea, to heal.

All right.

Do you need some time off?

No, sir.

If it's all the same I'd just as soon stay here.

Should be right in a couple of days.

OK, good.

All you need is a parrot.

Sir?

All righty.

Now, Luke is it?

All right, Luke, you want to be my first mate?

- Yeah. - All right.

Well, you're going to need one of these then.

Perfect.

Now I'm going to need a socket wrench.

Now, it's got a long chrome handle with a round

head and a square shaft.

Nice one!

You'll be after my job soon.

I'm going to need a 12-millimeter socket as well.

So you guys are on holiday, eh?

Actually, I took them out early.

It was the only chance I could get off work.

We're on the adventure of a lifetime, right, dad?

Yeah, that's right.

You-- you all right, man?

Yeah, sure.

Why?

It's just you're sweating.

Oh, it's this tropical heat.

It always gets to me.

You can tell I'm Victorian then.

So, um, where are you headed?

Ah, just up the coast.

Maybe over to Croker Island.

Really?

Why there?

Don't worry about Swaino, mate.

He's like the Navy equivalent of a cop.

Sorry?

Well, he's always asking questions.

Aren't you Swaino?

Well, we're done here, mate.

Well, thanks.

I really appreciate it.

No worries.

No, Luke.

That is yours.

Thanks!

No worries.

All right.

Let's roll this out.

[theme music]

How to go, eh?

Gavin and his kids.

If I had half the chance, that's where I'd be.

What and risk their safety on a boat designed

for Sunday river cruising?

Spoken like the true romantic that you are, Swain.

Is there a problem?

The guy's from Victoria, sir.

That's not his fault.

Ha, he doesn't know boats and he can't handle the heat, so

what's he doing in the tropics?

FLYNN: Can't answer that, but if he hasn't broken any laws,

there's not much we can do.

We holding up here for a while?

We could.

Good.

I'll order some engine maintenance.

Fancy a spot of fishing do we, Charge?

Never crossed my mind.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Hey, Spider, are you going in?

Oh, no, ma'am.

I do mind the sharks.

[music playing]

[sailors calling out]

Your father's ashes?

Thought I might throw them in here.

Once they get out of the water.

Well, it seems like a good place.

That's if you don't mind the party going on.

Can't think what to say anyway.

Cheers, boss.

Yes.

Boss, I've done some checking.

It seems our friendly father has committed a crime.

He's kidnapped his own kids.

Bring the ship to specials.

Special CG, men in cable party close up,

assume damage control, stage three condition Yankee.

Report just in from Coast Watch.

The Halverson's been spotted in the Aurafura sea.

That's its coordinates.

Where do you think he's heading?

Certainly not Croker Island, like he said.

Seems to me the most likely destination

is here, the Tiwi Islands.

Oh, good.

The police there can pick him up then.

Maybe not.

He had passports for all of them.

And the Tiwis have an airfield.

We'd better stop them before he gets there.

We're fast, but not that fast, and he's got a couple

of hours on us at least.

Nav, how do we cut him off?

Well, he has to land this side of the island,

so if we forget about chasing him,

we could circle around Bright Island and get there for him.

But it's going to take a lot of grunt.

Grunt we have.

MCR, bridge.

MCR.

Yes, boss?

Charge, you know that full-power trawl

you've been wanting to do?

Now's the time?

Bring it on.

All right, bring it up to about 40 or 50, Paddy.

You know, I don't understand how a dad can get charged

with kidnapping his own kids.

These things they teach you in divorce school.

Hope you never end up there.

Yeah, well, he seems like a really nice guy.

Charge?

Mm-hmm?

Hypothetically speaking, If you promised something

to someone, but you're unable to deliver on that promise because

of unforeseen circumstances that happened before the promise was

made, what would you do?

Can you be more specific?

No, no, it's personal.

Talk to Nikki.

What?

She's your divisional officer.

If it's personal, she can help you sort it out.

A little bit better than I can.

Yeah, I doubt it.

She's a good person.

You should talk to her.

Try that contact again.

Lucky Numbers, this is Australian warship calling you

on VHF channel 16, 1-6, over.

Lucky Numbers, this is the captain of Australian warship

Hammersley.

Please respond on channel 1-6, over.

GAVIN DALEY [ON COMM]: This is Lucky Numbers.

Is-- is there a problem?

You're scaring my kids.

Mr. Daley, you need to stop so we can board your boat

and see if everything's OK.

GAVIN DALEY [ON COMM]: Your wife is very concerned, over.

She's not my wife.

She remarried a month ago, and she plans

to move overseas with my kids.

GAVIN DALEY [ON COMM]: I understand,

Mr. Daley, but you need to return home and work this out.

Taking your kids like this will only

make the situation worse, over.

GAVIN DALEY [ON COMM]: I'm not letting

her take my kids away from me.

That won't happen if you go through the right process,

over.

GAVIN DALEY [ON COMM]: Look, just back off

and leave us alone.

Lucky Numbers this is Australian warship, over.

Boss, I think I've got a visual.

Take these.

Keep trying.

Lucky Numbers, this is Australian warship calling you

on VHF channel 16, 1-6, over.

There's no response from Gavin, sir.

At least we now know why he's doing this.

He's afraid he might never see his kids again.

The question is, how desperate is he?

Some of these guys really flip out.

They kill the kids.

We know he's armed.

He's got a .22 bolt-action on board.

Let's not assume he's a dangerous lunatic yet.

He sounded distressed, but stable.

I think we should look at our options.

We could leave it to TRG.

They're at least a couple of hours away.

We could try a show of force.

A shot across his bow might make him come to his senses

and stop.

Or panic him.

Just send the RHIB over.

I'm not willing to risk that at this stage.

But the kid's safety--

It's the kids I'm thinking about.

This guy's under a lot of stress.

If he is unstable, he's more likely to do something

stupid if we push him.

Sir, if we can't make him stop and we can't board,

what are we going to do?

We keep on his tail until he runs out of fuel.

NAVCOM, this is XO Hammersley.

The situation with Mr. Daley requires de-escalation.

Our intention remains to continue shadowing.

NAVCOM: Roger, I'll pass it on to Commander Marshall.

The police and TRG have been alerted.

We're all hoping for a good outcome.

Sir.

He's been traveling flat tech for at least an hour.

He must be running low on fuel by now.

I want a boarding party over there as

soon as he starts to slow down.

Sir, he's not slowing down, and he

just came hard left to head inshore towards the mainland.

What's he doing?

He's trying to dodge us by going ashore.

Well, there's nothing there but mangroves and crocodiles.

Sir, if he goes ashore he's putting himself and the kids

at a huge risk.

Dammit.

Slow ahead, both engines.

Port 10, steer 1-8-0.

Slow ahead, both engines, port 10, steer 1-8-0.

Hear, your Captain speaking.

They've left the Halverson and are heading for the mangroves.

The intention is to land a party ashore.

That is all.

All stop.

Check primary and secondary.

OK, I'll be leading this one.

Spider, you can stay too.

I'm taking ET and Swain.

They've already had dialogue with Gavin,

which might prove useful.

Sir, with all due respect, this

is way outside the Navy's comfort zone.

We're looking at a possible hostage situation.

I made the wrong call about Gavin.

I feel responsible.

I need to take care of this, and I need

you to take charge of the ship.

OK.

First party, secondaries off.

All right, we'll spread out.

Buffer, you go with Swain.

ET with me.

Let's sweep this area here.

Stay in radio contact at all times.

They could be anywhere.

He's dragging a couple of kids.

They're going to leave some pretty obvious tracks.

Stasi, stay on the RHIB, he might double back.

Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2.

We've lost visual contact.

Any sign at them, over?

FLYNN [ON COMM]: This is Charlie 2.

We found the dinghy, so we're heading inland, over.

According to the chart it doesn't get any clearer.

If they haven't sighted them so far--

They're not going to.

Not to mention it's already late afternoon.

It's perfect feeding time for crocodiles.

Yes, I am aware of that.

Thank you.

Charlie 2, you haven't got much daylight left, especially

in the mangroves, over.

FLYNN [ON COMM]: We'll continue to search while we

still have daylight, over.

Delta 2, this to Charlie 2, sitrep, over.

Charlie 2, this Delta 2, nothing yet, over.

Don't know about you, boss, but I'm starting to feel

like someone's appetizer.

Come on, ET, you're a main course at least.

Watch it!

Sorry, sir.

Thought that was a--

It's OK.

You're doing a great job.

Come on.

You ever thought what you'd do if you weren't in the Navy,

sir?

Doesn't get any better than this.

Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2, who fired the shot?

I say again, who fired the shot?

Over.

Charlie 2, this is Delta 2.

Did you fire that shot?

Over.

This is Charlie 2.

Negative Delta 2.

Investigating, over.

SWAIN [ON COMM]: Roger that Charlie 2.

Doing likewise. Out.

What's going on?

FLYNN [ON COMM]: Delta 2 this is Charlie 2.

Can you see anything?

Over.

SWAIN [ON COMM]: This is Delta 2.

Nothing yet, over.

FLYNN [ON COMM]: Buffer, Swain!

Get over here fast!

Charlie 2, what is it? What's going on?

Over.

He must have fired the shot to alert us.

It's the missing fisherman the feds were after.

What the hell's he doing here?

Buffer, you and Swain get him back to the ship.

ET and I will continue searching for Gavin and the kids.

Aye, sir.

Sir, this guy has been mauled by a croc.

I need to get the ward room ready for an emergency.

X-ray 2 this is Charlie 2, we have a badly injured man.

I'm sending him back to you.

It's not Gavin Daley.

I say again, it's not Gavin Daley.

It's Carl Davies.

If he regains consciousness, see what you can find out.

Charlie 2 out.

Come on ET, let's go.

Oh!

Ah! - Almost there, mate.

Almost there.

Almost there.

Carl?

Ma'am, you didn't tell me it was Carl!

What--

Spider, please.

You know as much as I do.

OK.

OK, there's oxygen ready to go.

Morphine?

On the side over there.

Buff?

Buff, put the oxygen mask on his face, man.

Just try and stay still.

I'll hold him.

It's OK.

OK, just lie down. Lie down.

You're all right.

Hold down his leg, mate.

Hold it properly, Spide.

- Help! - Ah.

OK, here we go.

There you go.

It's OK.

It's all right.

You're all right.

What do you make of that?

I'd say someone wasn't planning on him surviving.

Yeah, well, he still mightn't.

I need to speak to Fleet Medical Command,

and I need to get cleaned up before I

deal with him any further.

He needs to be cleaned up as well, ma'am.

We're going to need to speak to the feds.

This could be attempted murder.

Yes, ma'am.

Spider?

OK, I need you to stay with him.

If he wakes up, you call me right away.

There's a lot of questions he might be able to answer.

Make yourself useful and start cleaning him up.

Yeah, but not his leg.

Spider, just do it!

But I don't know how to do his leg.

Ma'am?

The bite extends from above the knee

to most of the upper part of his right leg.

What do you recommend?

FLEET MEDICAL [ON COMM]: Return to base ASAP.

There's not a lot more you can do out there, over.

Chances of survival?

FLEET MEDICAL [ON COMM]: As I said, return to base ASAP.

Thank you, sir.

The prognosis isn't good, ma'am, and the longer we delay out

here, the worse it's going to--

Swain, do what you can.

Yes, ma'am.

Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2, the Fleet

Medical Officer recommends returning to base ASAP.

What are your intentions?

Over.

Boss, wait up.

It's my cap.

I gave it to the kid this morning.

We could be on the right track.

X-ray 2 this is Charlie 2.

We found one of the kids' cap so I'm extending the search.

Out.

Come on, let's find them before it gets dark.

Come on.

Come on, wake up, mate.

Steve?

No, mate, it's Spider.

Bright Island.

What about Bright Island.

It's too good to be true.

Carl, who left you--

who left you in the mangroves?

Were you trying to tell me something

on the Pacific Mariner?

Carl, what was it?

Gallagher!

They're-- they're all dead

Ursula Morrell-- where's Ursula Morrell?

I was too late.

X [ON COMM]: Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2.

Sitrep regarding our injured passenger, over.

This is Charlie 2.

Go ahead, X. Sir, Swain is concerned

that if we don't return to base immediately,

Carl won't make it.

Over.

We're moving as fast as we can,

X. There's no change to the priority.

Charlie 2, out.

Boss, this way!

GAVIN: Come on, we're just trying to get out of here,

get out! - Stop!

Gavin, stop!

Stay back!

OK, Gavin.

Don't come any closer!

Gavin, you've put yourself and your kids

in a dangerous situation.

We just want to help you get out of here safely.

Do you hear me?

Back off and leave us alone.

I'll use this.

I swear!

Come on, Gavin.

Think of your kids.

I know you love them.

You don't want them out here.

It's going to be dark soon.

They're frightened.

Come back to the ship with us, we'll help you get--

Back off!

[screaming]

It's OK, kids.

It's gone.

We scared him away.

Gavin?

Gavin?

Gavin, that was a crocodile.

Yes, I saw him.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Give me the gun.

Gun?

Well done, ET.

X-ray 2, this is Charlie 2.

Let's get the hell out of here, all right?

Located Daley and his kids.

Returning to you.

Make ready for an immediate departure, over.

The boardroom's taken.

Let's get him in here.

Is my dad going to be all right?

I'm sure he'll be fine.

You guys want to come through here while we get someone

to take a look at your dad?

Dad!

It's OK, Lukey.

Kids, go with them.

All right, guys.

You want to sit down here to watch a movie?

Yes.

All right!

Please take a seat, thanks.

You could have gotten yourself killed out there.

Possibly.

One thing's for sure, Gavin would have gotten himself

and his kids killed if we didn't find them.

How's Carl doing?

He's upstairs.

I want to talk to him.

Well, we've stemmed the blood flow for now,

but the sooner we get him back, the better.

OK, Swain.

Well done.

I'd like you to check on Gavin now, thanks.

Yes, sir.

Did he say anything?

Well, nothing coherent.

He mentioned Bright Island and Rick Gallagher,

but it didn't make any sense.

Did he mention Ursula?

No, I'm sorry.

OK.

He wakes up again, let me know.

Let's get back to base as soon as possible.

Well, his blood pressure's a bit high,

but nothing life threatening.

What about my kids?

They're fine.

Our chef's plying them with toasted sandwiches.

I stuffed things up pretty badly, didn't I?

I swear I didn't know there were crocs.

What an idiot.

I've lost everything anyways.

Really?

How do you figure that?

You're alive aren't you?

Not to mention your two kids.

I mean, surely they count for something.

We'll leave you alone--

to rest.

Have you had enough toast?

That's like a whole loaf of bread.

Well, I suppose if you're a fearless crocodile hunter,

you do need your energy.

Is my dad all right?

Yeah, he's fine.

Will he get into trouble?

Oh, Charge, Charge!

Look at this.

This is our pirate.

Arrr!

Ahoy, there my hearties, I'll be eating your liver with a spoon!

You're not as good as Jack Sparrow.

Not at all.

Well, did my best.

Tough crowd.

ET?

I don't want Gavin left alone.

I think we've had enough incidents today.

No, sir.

RO?

I'm drafting a sitrep to NAVCOM.

Can you print me out a pre-former, please?

Yes, ma'am.

[printing]

Quite a day.

You could say that.

It's not over yet.

Thanks.

I'm going to be writing incident reports for the next week.

Oh, have you thought about what you want to say?

How about, you gave me a hard time,

but at least you weren't as stupid as Gavin?

I'd keep working on it, if I were you.

Hey, guys.

Look who I found.

BOTH: Dad!

How's my team?

Good?

I want to see mom.

Sure, honey.

That's where we're going now.

Everything is going to be good from now on, I promise.

Will you come visit us when we move to the States?

You bet.

I'm going to lie down now, OK?

I love you, guys.

We love you too, dad.

[TELEVISION INDISTINCT IN BACKGROUND]

They're great kids.

Yeah, and now some other guy gets to see them every day.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hey.

You were really great with those kids.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe I haven't grown up myself yet.

Oh, I don't know.

Guess we'll see after the next six months.

Um, we've got to talk.

About what?

Not here.

OK.

Better not let X find us in here, or else one of us

will be looking for a new career.

Nikki, when I made that six-month pact with you,

I meant what I said.

That's good to hear.

Something's come up that you need to know about.

Don't tell me you found a woman to flirt

with in the mangrove swamp.

My ex-girlfriend is pregnant.

Now, look, Nikki, I only just found out about it myself,

and we've been broken up for ages.

But a couple months ago, we bumped into each other, and--

You obviously did more than bump into her.

I have to work.

Nikki--

Thank you, lader.

Ma'am I only ducked out just for a minute.

That's all it takes.

Sir!

He's on the front side.

Front side.

Everyone stay back.

We don't want to freak him out anymore.

Stop both engines.

Gavin, step back inside the guardrails, please.

Come on, Gavin.

This is stupid.

You got kids?

No.

Then you wouldn't understand.

I understand you've been through a divorce,

and that's not easy, but your kids

need you now more than ever.

My wife is taking them to the States with her new husband.

I won't get to see them at all.

Boss, boss.

Let me talk to him.

I think I know how he feels.

Hey, Gavin.

Good day, mate.

Look, I've got kids I hardly ever see it all.

You're wearing an eye patch.

Uh, yeah.

Hey!

Man overboard!

Prepare to recover by swimmer.

OK.

What did he do that for?

Stop both engines.

Let go.

Unbelievable!

Where's the gunner of the watch?

Gunner of the watch, close up!

At the rush!

Come on, come on, come on!

Spider, starboard wing.

Down and load.

We've stopped, boss.

Carry on the swimmer.

Carry on the swimmer!

Swimmer in the water!

Swimmer on the surface, indicating well.

He's dragging ET under, boss.

Shoot him!

Heaving on the swimmer's line!

Hand over hand!

We don't have time for this!

Charge, man the swimmer's line.

Buffer down point.

Sort this out.

Aye, sir!

We've got a seriously injured man below.

ET?

ET?

Bring him here.

Get that strap on him.

Get him out of there!

You got him?

Hook that and get him in!

Heaving on the recovery line!

ET, you all right?

Avast!

OK, Nav, let's get back to port.

- Aye, sir. - What's going to happen to him.

Right now, I don't care.

What did you think you were doing?

You should have just left me there.

Aw, yeah.

Maybe we should have.

But unfortunately, we're duty bound

to save people like yourself.

Yeah, well, you wasted your effort, mate.

I'm not your mate.

You risk the lives of your own kids,

and now you've risked the lives of my team.

I might as well be dead.

My kids will never forgive me.

You don't deserve a second chance, that's true,

but your kids will give you one.

Hi, thank you.

ET: It's all right.

Look, again, I'm so sorry about all this.

You know I didn't mean any of this to happen.

No.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Do you want to get back together with her?

No, no.

But I--

But what?

I don't feel anything for Suzy, but I--

I'm not going to abandon my child.

Oh, I wouldn't expect you too.

No, I know you wouldn't.

If I'm-- If I'm going to be a father, I guess I got to start

doing the right thing, right?

Yeah.

But, um, I don't want it to change us.

NAVCOM has confirmed we've got police and ambulance waiting.

We'll get Carl out first.

How is he?

Deteriorating.

This whole episode hasn't helped matters.

I'd like you to escort the kids out.

Let's try and keep the fuss to a minimum.

Right, boss.

What about Gavin?

Kidnappings a pretty serious offense.

Given, yeah, but he's obviously

pretty distraught, right?

I mean, he needs some help.

I've recommend counseling when we get back.

Right, boss.

OK, give us a salute.

Mind your step there, guys.

Now look who's here for you.

Mom!

Whatever you decide, you'll still be there dad.

Thanks, but I'm not going to have

much of a choice in the matter.

Legally, your wife can't take your kids out of the country

without your permission, but you need to start thinking

about what's best for them.

Nav.

Hey Nav.

If you've got time for a drink, I'd really like for us to talk.

I think someone else has other ideas.

Oh.

I'll see you later.

I'm going to the hospital.

I want to be there when Carl regains consciousness.

You'll have to battle the feds, not to mention NAVCOM.

Whoever.

I'm finding out what he knows.

[sirens sound]

[music playing]

Boom!

Guess you hadn't noticed, probably a bit old

for teddy bears, Spide.

Oh, no.

I overheard the conversation you had with Nav,

that you're going to be a dad.

That's what it's for.

Sorry, mate, I can't help myself.

My mom always told me I had big ears.

Yeah, I don't think she meant that as a compliment, Spide.

Oh, well I just wanted to be the first to get in

with the prezzie.

Congrats, mate.

Thanks.

Thank you.

But, my ex-girlfriend's already taken care of it.

Yeah, but you can never have too many teddys.

Uh, no she's--

she's terminating the pregnancy.

Oh.

Sorry, mate.

Thing is, Spider.

I was actually really excited about being a dad.

Yeah, you'd make a good one.

Now I've gone and stuffed it up with someone else.

Hey, maybe they'll need the teddy, eh?

You're back early.

Thought you'd be a few hours.

Carl died on the way to the hospital.

Did he say anything--

He never regained consciousness.

If we'd gotten back sooner, who knows?

You did the right thing in saving that family.

That's three dead people associated with Bright

Island and Rick Gallagher.

Do you think he killed Ursula too?

That's what's worrying me, X.

Would you like me to say a few words?

Yeah.

We are here to say goodbye to Gerald Dixon.

Although I didn't know you, Gerald, I

know your son, Robert, well enough to appreciate him

as a fine sailor.

He is intelligent, honest, and trustworthy, a valuable member

to the Hammersley, so I guess, as a father,

you must have done something right.

Bye, dad.
