Original subtitles

I have eggs to cook.

They can wait two minutes.

Hang on.

RO, hurry up. Seriously.

Uh-uh-uh.

Robert--

It's not from me.

From mum.

Oi, do you mind?

The ship's journal will not shoot itself, apparently.

Wow.

It's gorgeous.

"Happy 21st, Rebecca.

Love, mum."

What's the matter?

Ah, it's not your style.

It is.

It's just I haven't spoken to her for a while--

a long while.

She wasn't impressed when I joined the navy.

What, she had bigger plans for you?

She said if I was gonna nick off and join the navy,

then I shouldn't bother coming back--

ever.

And that was three years ago.

That's unfortunate.

Yeah.

I better get back to the galley.

"Place one layer topside down and--"

X.

You're up early.

Yeah, I thought I'd, um, make you a brew.

Gee, thanks, Spider.

Happy birthday.

I'll just ditch the gash first.

Yeah.

[WHISPERING] Go with her.

What?

I said I'd go with you.

I can manage.

No, we'll take in the sunrise together.

Yeah, it'll be--

What?

Romantic?

All right.

Come on, then.

[phone ringing]

Hammersley.

MAN [ON PHONE]: NAVCOM here.

Urgent message for Petty Officer Peter Tomashevski.

Yeah, one moment.

Permission to go down to the boat deck and ditch a gash?

Yeah, go ahead.

Come on.

This is Petty Officer Tomashevski.

MAN [ON PHONE]: Message to call home urgently.

Thank you.

Yeah, morning, Nav.

Sorry to wake you.

Can you come to the bridge, take over the watch for me?

Right, thanks.

How many people get to wake up to a kind of view

like this on their 21st?

Yeah, it wouldn't be half bad if I didn't have to look at it

every other day of my life.

Here, fishy, fishy.

Here, fishy, fishy.

[banging]

Hey, hey, some people are still sleeping.

Yeah, not for much longer.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Hey, what are you doing?

My bracelet.

Bomber, wait on.

It's gonna wash off.

Bomber, you haven't got a life jacket on.

Bomber, forget the bracelet. - Spider, I've almost got it.

Let go.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Man overboard!

Help!

Man overboard!

[action theme music]

Spider.

Spider, we're fine.

- Oh, you reckon? - Yeah, of course.

Buffer will realize when we don't come back inside.

You are kidding.

My mum gave it to me, all right?

Yeah, well, she'll be pleased to know you love it so much

you tried to drown one of your mates for it.

Spider, this is exactly why we have an officer of the watch.

Just keep looking.

They'll turn back for us any second.

Thanks, Nav.

Nothing's changed, Buff.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, fine.

Are you sure everything's OK?

Yeah.

OK.

All right, well, if that's everything,

that's my pillow calling.

Call the hands.

Call the hands.

Wakey, wakey, wakey.

It's not my pillow calling after all.

Sorry, ma'am.

Nah, it's all right.

Where are the eggs?

There aren't any.

No way.

There's a choice of fruit salad or fruit salad.

I'd steer clear if I were you though, mate.

That stuff will soften your arteries.

Ha-ha.

Where is the cook?

Oh, this is not on.

She's not here.

It's just fruit and salad.

Good.

Need you all in the junior sailors' mess.

Is there a problem?

No, we're gonna sing "Happy Birthday."

He's getting weirder.

Oh, that looks like horse--

Don't say that.

Well, OK, it looks like the product of a horse

that ate some birthday candles. - You know what?

With these things, it's the thought that counts.

Yeah, well, at least it'll taste really good.

Oh, it's actually just-- it's a bit frozen.

How long has it been out?

About 45 minutes.

You should have taken it out last night.

I know. Thanks for that.

I know.

Nav, ma'am, I found some sparklers.

Oh, fantastic.

Found them in the store.

I've rounded up the crew.

They're waiting in the junior sailors' mess for your arrival.

OK, that's great.

Oh, can you get Spider to go and get Bomber?

Use lots of sparklers.

Ah.

See how I've done it?

The air inside is making them buoyant so they keep me afloat.

Yeah, I've got it.

You remember, it was in our survival at sea course

from the manual.

Bomber, who reads the manual?

Just concentrate on what you're doing.

Tie these.

This one?

Yes.

Bomber, they should've turned around by now.

Spider, I'm gonna get you out of this, OK?

How?

Have you got a plan?

I'm thinking.

Maybe that bracelet of yours inflates into a dinghy.

Ow.

That looks like it belongs in a paddock.

Could make a navy cook out of you yet, ma'am.

Thanks very much.

It looks like a pile of--

Shh.

Surprise!

I can't find them, ma'am, and I've looked everywhere.

Well, Spider had--

I can't find Spider either.

Morning.

Morning, boss.

No, you're right.

All quiet last night?

Nothing to report, sir.

NAVCOM called?

Earlier this morning.

And?

Just a message for me to call home.

Everything all right?

Excuse me, sir, we're having problems

locating Spider and Bomber.

Oh, I saw them earlier this morning, sir.

Bomber came in to ask if she could go out onto the boat deck

to ditch the gash and Spider was with her.

When did they come inboard?

What time?

I don't recall them coming inboard at all.

Um-- I thought that they must have come

in while I was down in COMCEN.

I didn't know that they were out.

Able Seaman Brown and Seaman Webb, bridge at the rush.

Any members of the ship's company

who believe they know the whereabouts of these personnel,

report to the bridge.

Conduct a Williamson turn.

Aye, sir.

MIKE FLYNN: X, do a full search of the ship.

Yes, sir.

MIKE FLYNN: Nav, outline the search area.

Yes, sir.

Um, if I could have the time, just for the parameters.

Approximately 5:00 AM.

Well, I came in at about 5:30.

So it was about 5:15.

About.

Ah!

What?

What?

Oh.

There's a pain in my leg.

What?

Is it a cramp?

I don't know.

Take your boots off.

I have.

Look, just try to stretch it out.

It hurts more, Bomber.

I know it hurts, Spider, but you've gotta try.

You said Buffer would've realised

we were gone straightaway.

I know.

Well, it's been ages.

No one's gonna find us out here.

We're gonna drown and the sharks are gonna--

Spider, you don't think I realise this is serious?

And you're right.

They should've turned back by now,

but the worst thing you can do is panic.

We just have to save our energy and make a plan.

These overalls are strangling me.

Just get rid of them then, all right?

Now just try and relax for a minute, OK?

Please, Spider.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

Yeah, it's worked for me so far, hasn't it?

Spider.

I can look out for myself.

No, you look after me.

I'll look after you.

That's how this works.

Deal?

MIKE FLYNN: All ships, all ships, this is

Australian warship Hammersley.

I have two sailors overboard--

I say again, two sailors overboard--

in approximate position 12 degrees, 32 minutes south,

135 degrees, 12 minutes east.

Maintaining listening watch on channel 16.

Out.

You handed over the watch without telling the navigator

you had two sailors outside.

Yes, sir.

And you didn't--

you didn't check if they were back when you returned.

I'm sorry, sir.

I stuffed up.

Buffer.

Buff, what's going on?

I stuffed up.

I should've checked on them.

You don't make those kind of mistakes.

What is going on?

I want to know.

It's my mum.

What about your mum?

It's cancer, and she's at the end.

Oh, Buff, I'm--

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I'm not a welfare case.

Buffer, you gotta tell people stuff.

Come on, talk--

Can we just stick to finding Spider and Bomber?

Of course.

Ma'am.

Spider, no.

Ah, you're fine.

Hang on.

You're not-- Spider.

Spider.

Spider.

We've reached the end of our search area, sir.

Thanks, Nav.

Been out there a long time, sir.

I'm aware of that, RO.

It's just with the sharks and the stingers--

I mean, they're not wearing stinger suits.

Put a sock in it, RO.

We don't need your grim predictions.

All right, let's stay focused, everyone.

Buffer.

We'll reverse course.

Put the RHIBs on the beams.

Increase our lateral search.

Let's go.

Aye, sir.

Can I have a quick word?

Sir, Buffer's mother, she's dying.

Has he asked for shore leave?

Quite the opposite.

He feels responsible for Spider and Bomber.

I just thought you should know.

Yeah, thanks, X. Listen, we can't stop for anything.

Every second counts.

Yeah.

Something in the water at green 45.

To your left.

Left.

Righto.

Down.

They're Bomber's, X.

Charlie 8-2, this is X-ray 8-2.

We have Bomber's overalls.

Over.

Well, now, we know we're in the right area.

We'll continue our search.

Don't you give up on me.

Don't.

Don't you give up on me, please.

Spider, no.

Spider, you're fi--

Spider?

Uh-huh?

Spider, is that a boat?

Is that a boat?

Spider, look.

Spider.

Spider.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Yes, here.

Help!

- Help! - Here!

Here. - Hang on.

Gracie! Gracie!

Spider, come on.

You're all right, guys.

You're all right. Come on.

Come on, Spider.

Help.

Come on.

You're all right.

You're all right. - Stop there.

Give us a hand, hon.

I got him.

Spit it up, mate. Spit it up.

Oh, Spider.

Get your breath.

Get your breath.

You're OK.

What's going on?

They were in the water.

Are you crazy?

They were drowning.

You're OK.

Come down here and we'll get you some dry clothes.

You're all right.

Come on.

Come on.

Can we let them through?

You two must be the luckiest people on the planet.

Thanks-- thanks so much.

There you go.

Come on.

I'll get you some dry clothes.

Thanks.

[WHISPERING] Wait.

Come here.

What?

Don't mention the navy, whatever you do, OK?

Just--

Why?

Our saviour out there--

Finn McLean.

He's a drug dealer.

He escaped from prison about a month ago.

What, the guy that was all over the news?

Didn't he kill a guy doing it?

If he finds out we're navy, we're dead.

These should fit.

Thank you.

Just come out when you're ready.

- Yeah. - No worries.

We need to be cool, OK?

Yeah, I'm cool.

I'm cool.

What's McLean doing out here anyway?

Trying to get out of the country any way he can,

I suppose.

Oh, get rid of those.

Maybe it's better if they think someone's looking for us.

No way.

He doesn't want the authorities anywhere near this boat.

We'll talk to them then.

We'll ask them to drop us off somewhere or something.

GRACIE O'DOHERTY: How are you going down there?

Coming.

McLean's a killer.

He doesn't bother talking to people who get in his way.

Quick.

Now, give them to me.

Ow.

Look, keep your talking to a minimum, OK?

Put your head down and we'll try to contact the ship ASAP.

All right.

Didn't you hear Gracie?

Yeah.

Lead the way.

Grab a seat.

Thanks.

Shift up.

Sorry?

Shift up.

Oh.

Ah, well, I'm Billy.

This is Rebecca.

I'm Gracie.

- Hi. - Hey.

G'day.

So how'd you get yourselves stuck out there?

Uh, just came off the back of our boat.

Yacht.

Yeah, yacht.

Yeah, and hit a reef, and down she went.

Bummer.

Yeah, bummer.

Yeah, I've never been on a boat that's sunk before, eh?

You've been out there a while?

Uh, just before breakfast--

A couple of hours.

Yeah, a couple of hours.

How long ago did you call for help?

We didn't get the chance.

Didn't get off a mayday signal?

No, unfortunately not.

So no one knows you're out here?

That's a yes or no, Rebecca.

No.

No, no one knows.

Give them a chance to catch their breath, Finn.

Oh, it's nice to meet you, Finn.

If we could use your radio, we'll get onto coastal patrol

and just let them know we sank our boat.

Yeah, it's broken.

Oh, right.

Um, do you have a mobile or--

Um.

Ah, there's hardly any coverage out here, I'm afraid.

OK.

But, uh, Ben will fix the radio for you, won't you, mate?

Doing my best, mate.

Well, if not, maybe we can find somewhere

to drop you off along the way.

Oh, yeah, that would be great.

That would be awesome.

Uh, where are you guys headed?

North.

Pretty nice boat you've got here, Finn.

What do you do for a crust?

Finn's just chartered it from us.

He's on a fishing trip.

Yeah, cool.

So where were you two headed?

Uh, Papua.

Holiday?

Honeymoon, actually.

Right.

Isn't that nice.

Newlyweds.

Great.

Where'd you meet?

In a restaurant.

Bec here is a cook.

You must have lost your wedding rings.

Yeah.

Yes, funny story, actually.

Yeah.

Uh, the groom left them in the cab on his bucks' night.

Yeah, dumb me, eh?

Massive night.

That's a hard one to live down.

Yeah, you bet.

Lost your wedding rings, boat sinks on your honeymoon.

You two were meant to be.

Yeah, right, um--

hasn't exactly been a great start, but--

No, but we are going to work through it though, aren't we,

Bec?

Sure, Billy.

Perhaps you could cook me a meal then.

You are a chef?

Yeah.

You'd be doing me a huge favor.

Gracie here can barely open a can of baked beans.

Look, it'd be my pleasure, but maybe we should try and get

the radio working first, yeah?

Yeah, I'll look it up and give it a shot.

I'm pretty good with electrics.

Ben's working on it.

Right.

Well, it's just obviously we're holding you up, so--

I'm just--

Food first.

Sure.

You reckon they're suss?

What do you reckon?

What do you do for a crust?

I kill people who ask stupid questions.

Yeah, right.

Don't get snaky, OK?

Isn't not my fault we're in this situation.

Just keep it simple.

No more surprises like we're on our honeymoon.

If in doubt, shut up.

Don't say anything.

Sorry.

I just can't lie to save myself.

Unfortunately, Spider, this is a one time where you have to.

How's my meal coming along?

Just reducing the sauce.

Looks edible.

Done all right for yourself here, young fella.

Beccy's a fox.

Yeah, she is.

Knows her way around a puttanesca sauce.

Gotta love that.

Actually, it's arrabbiata, which is Italian for "enraged."

My mistake.

Look, I don't like people messing around in my kitchen,

so why don't you just go and relax, and um,

we'll bring it down to you?

What a chef.

Thanks.

Yuck.

You know their radio's not broken.

They just don't want us to use it.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

Bomber, I can't do this much longer.

We have to get to the radio and call for help.

It's the only way, OK?

They picked us up by accident.

He's on the run, and now we're witnesses.

I don't think they're going to let us go.

Obviously.

Look, we need to get to the helm

and make sure they're all busy long enough

for us to get to the radio.

Have you got any ideas?

I reckon I do.

One, two.

Best I could come up with under the circumstances.

Hope it's OK.

There's a serve for Ben too.

He's busy.

Um--

Yum.

Learn a new word today, Gracie?

Finn!

Finn!

Finn, that was a coast watch plane.

I thought you said you didn't make a mayday call.

No, we didn't.

Maybe it's not looking for them.

[small explosion]

Oh, what now?

Gotta shut the engine down.

Give us a hand, will you?

Give me a hand, will ya?

What?

Bloody fanbelt's busted.

You tell me you can fix it.

I got a rendezvous to make.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm sure I've got a spare here somewhere.

- What are you looking at? - Ah, shit.

I know where it is.

It's OK.

MAN [ON RADIO]: All ships, all ships, man overboard.

What the hell? Finn!

Finn!

MAN [ON RADIO]: Please keep a lookout for two navy sailors.

Give me the radio.

Get got me!

Give me the radio now!

- Let go of me! - Give it to me.

Ah!

MAN [ON RADIO]: All ships, all ships, man overboard.

Please keep a lookout for two navy

sailors, one male, one female.

Repeat, two navy sailors.

Please respond.

Navy?

Well, that explains the food.

Ben, if you wouldn't mind fixing the fanbelt. No need for games.

I know who you are.

You know who I am.

It's been a pleasure.

Yes.

Yep, understood.

X, Captain.

Sir.

X, coast watch has spotted a vessel in the search area.

It's not responding to calls.

Make an approach.

See if they've spotted our sailors.

Nav will give you the directions.

Standing by.

From your current position, course 2-8-0,

range three miles.

Did you copy that?

Let's go.

Let's get there.

Righto.

Finn, I don't--

I don't know about this, mate.

Not my problem.

Well, why don't we just drop them off somewhere?

Great idea, and these two blab to their mates and you two

get charged with conspiracy.

Well, what do you suggest we do then?

You know what to do.

We'll make sure they never surface.

Just make them vanish.

But we're not gonna tell anyone, we promise.

You saved our lives.

God, we owe you for that.

Please.

Darling, it's not my problem.

BEN CADE: Who is it?

Get down. BEN CADE: Who is it?

Get down.

Who is it?

Navy.

They're navy for sure.

You two, you need to play happy couples on a fishing trip,

right?

You two, get inside.

You stay down.

Crawl.

Go.

Gracie, get some tape.

We have them in our sights.

There are two people on board.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Make your approach.

Get us in there, righto.

Keep moving.

We're moving.

Not a sound out of you.

You're a legend, aren't you?

I'm just a guy with a gun.

Come on, Spider.

Gracie, I know you're a good person.

Are you really gonna let--

He's right.

No.

I should've let you drown.

Get upstairs.

Afternoon.

Coast watch have been trying to raise you on the radio.

Oh, yeah, our radio's stuffed.

Do you mind if we come aboard?

Uh, sure.

Are you alone?

Is there anyone else on board?

Just me and the missus.

Ma'am, can you come outside, please?

What's the problem?

Two sailors have been lost overboard in this area.

Jeez, that's-- friends of yours or?

Fellow sailors, yes.

That's terrible.

You haven't seen any sign of them at all, have you?

- No. - Sorry.

Right.

Can you give us any idea of your course.

It'll help us with our search.

Um--

It's on the GPS.

Do you mind if I take a look at it?

Thank you.

OK, let's go.

It's no luck here, sir.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Yeah, got that, X. Make your way back.

Yes, sir.

Is this yours?

Been looking for that.

Thank you.

Good luck finding your mates, eh?

[boat leaving]

Yes, sir.

Yeah, Buffer, there's been another phone call for you

from the hospital.

Um, why don't you use my cabin?

It'll give you more privacy.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, and Buffer, we can't return to shore

until we find our sailors.

Of course.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

We have done a thorough search of the area.

We found the overalls, but we--

do you think it's time we made contact with the families?

Mum?

BUFFER'S MOTHER [ON PHONE]: Is that you, Peter?

Yes, mum.

It's me.

Are you getting plenty of rest?

BUFFER'S MOTHER [ON PHONE]: Yes.

I-- I-- I wanted to call to say goodbye.

You just need to get your strength up.

BUFFER'S MOTHER [ON PHONE]: It's all right, Peter.

I've accepted this, and I need you to accept it too.

You'll be all right, mum.

Just some healing time, and you'll be OK.

BUFFER'S MOTHER [ON PHONE]: Oh, darling.

I would've liked to have seen you just one more time.

Look, I'm not sure when.

We're in the middle of a search right now.

BUFFER'S MOTHER [ON PHONE]: Peter, you'll be OK without me.

I wish I was there, mum.

[ON VIDEO] Well, the ship's journal

will not shoot itself apparently.

[knocking]

RO, I've got an OPREP here from NAVCOM.

What have you got there?

It's Bomber.

Recorded this for the ship's journal this morning.

You're not giving up on them, are you?

No, of course I'm not.

OK, can I get this signal off, and then report

to the bridge for lookout duty.

What is that?

It's her birthday present.

Her mum got it for her.

They're on that boat.

Oi, do you mind?

And you're sure it's the same bracelet?

Absolutely.

100%.

- Nav, are they still on radar? - Yes, sir.

They're heading in a northerly direction.

And how long will it take us to get there?

Uh, at full speed, about 10 minutes.

Change course.

Head directly for that cruiser.

Yes, sir.

- We'll prepare for insertion. - Port 10.

Steer 2-7-0.

OK, let's go.

Revolutions 2-0-0-0.

Let's go get our people.

You dropped something.

Do you like it?

I got it this morning.

You keep it.

It'll look better on you anyway.

Please, just let us go.

Please, just convince him to drop us off at some land.

We're not gonna tell anybody.

We'll just say we drifted about, Gracie.

Gracie, don't let them wreck your life like this.

Keep your voice down or I'll have to put those gags back on.

Oh.

Some 21st.

What are you whingeing about?

You got to go swimming, meet some new people, got tied up.

What more could you want?

I don't know.

I just keep thinking about my mum.

Imagine how she'll feel.

Don't think like that, Bomber.

I haven't spoken to her in three years.

We had some dumb fight.

What if I never get to speak to her again?

I know you will get to speak to her again.

Yeah, and then you'll probably lose your temper,

have another argument, and then not speak

to her for another three years.

That's the way.

We look out for each other, all right?

Yep.

Yeah.

Should come through any second.

Sorry about your mum.

Thanks.

Leading Seaman Robert Dixon, Hammersley.

Yep, I've got him with me now.

I'll put him on.

It's Dr. Taylor.

Peter Tomashevski.

I understand.

She was peaceful?

Good.

Thanks, RO.

Are you OK?

Yep.

It's all right if you want to sit this one out.

Not while Bomber and Spider are still out there.

Boarding party ready, sir.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Captain, copy.

Why have we stopped?

There's a dinghy at the stern.

You need to get out of here before my husband

does something really stupid.

Where's Finn?

I'll take care of Finn.

What are you saying, Gracie?

What have they got planned?

I'll cop conspiracy, but I won't

be an accessory to murder.

Quick.

You've got to draw them away from the back of the boat.

What do I do?

Please, Gracie.

Do you have any spare anchor chain?

Yeah, of course.

It'd be in the forward hold, right?

OK, so say you need their help to get it out.

You want to use it to weigh us down

when you throw us over the side so we don't float.

I don't think they'll go for that.

- They will. - Yeah.

You can do it, Grace.

Come on.

BEN CADE: Yo, Finn!

Finn!

Cheers, mate.

It's your ticket out of here, mate.

You're out of here.

Guys, I'm gonna use the anchor chain to tie them down.

I need your help.

Is that OK?

Let's do it.

Go.

They're stealing the dinghy.

Finn, they're stealing the dinghy.

Get off him!

Spider!

Just go, Bomber.

I guess you're coming with me.

Start it up.

Where are we going?

Shut up!

There's Bomber.

He's taken her hostage.

X, captain.

Stand by.

Await my order to insert.

XO [ON RADIO]: Roger, sir.

Standing by ready to insert.

They're heading toward the seaplane, sir.

Nav, come hard right.

Let's block its path.

Sir?

We're gonna box him in against the coastline,

prevent him from landing.

I'm not getting on that plane with you.

You won't be my first, sweetheart.

Coming up to maximum speed, Charge.

We're looking good for 27 knots, sir.

Seaplane, this is Australian warship Hammersley.

Abort your landing.

I say again, abort your landing.

Take up!

What's happening?

What are they doing?

PILOT [ON RADIO]: They're trying to stop me landing.

Go round them.

PILOT [ON RADIO]: I can't land in a crosswind.

I've got nowhere to go.

I don't care.

Just do whatever you have to.

Just get that thing down here.

He's aborting.

No!

X, Captain.

Insert boarding party.

Go, go, go.

Back to the launch now!

Fast!

Come on.

Yeah.

[interposing voices]

Put the weapon down or we will shoot.

Put the weapon down.

Put it down, sir.

What do I care?

Come on, navy.

You are now the property of the Australian Navy.
