[intense music]

Good afternoon, sir.

Ma'am.

We're from the Australian Navy.

I hear you have some engine trouble.

We've just come from the Pinoa Island.

We need to get these votes to the counting station.

The UN appreciates your help.

Not a problem.

It's what we're here for.

Bonjour.

Charge, get on with it.

Yeah.

There you go.

Take that, Buff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Give her a go.

[engine sputters]

[engine starts]

Sweet music to my ears.

That's the sound of you snoring, big fella.

I don't snore.

Enchant .

Merci.

The Island of Pinoa thanks you.

The Australian Navy is happy to be of service, sir.

Ma'am, take care.

I think she liked me.

[explosion]

[theme music]

[gunfire]

Anything?

Nah.

The way that thing went up I don't like our chances.

What's that over there?

10 o'clock!

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Bravo 8-2, this is Charlie 8-2.

Any luck in your search, Buffer?

Yeah.

Negative, sir.

Still searching through the debris

but no sign of any survivors.

Over.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: I've notified the local authorities.

The UN is sending a boat out to the site.

If you've done all you can, make your final sweeps

and head back to the ship.

Charlie 2, out.

Yeah.

Roger that.

Buff, 11 o'clock!

Buff, body in the water.

2, 3.

You OK?

All right.

Let's go.

[coughs]

NEWS ANCHOR: And in other news, voting is almost

over in the Samaru Islands.

First elections in 12 years.

The Cheno government claims recent democratic reforms--

We're getting you medivaced to the capital, Mr. Dujon.

You're going to be fine.

These are really just flash burns.

Whatever it was wasn't engine-related.

There was only 100 horsepower in the motor.

It was a bomb.

No question, sir.

Had to be.

Mr. Dujon, do you know who had access to your boat?

No.

We were all too busy overseeing the voting,

dealing with the problems.

Problems?

Some Samaruan men, they were going up and down

the line of the voters.

Trying to influence them?

Oui.

But more than influencing.

Intimidate.

There were some Europeans directing them.

The people of Pinoa are pro-government.

They want nothing to do with this Massita Balanbaan.

Thanks, Mr. Dujon.

Are we on the same page here, X?

If you're thinking that Ray Walsman is behind this, yes.

Well, he's backing Balanbaan in the election.

It's in his interest to see him win.

It's fairly extreme though, isn't it?

If you can't win over an island, you blow up its ballot boxes.

After he tried to have Buffer killed,

I wouldn't put anything past him.

Ray Walsman's yacht is currently being surveilled

by air in Samaruan waters.

You'll be happy to learn, Mike, that we've just

been given permission by the caretaker

PM there to arrest Mr. Walsman on sight.

That's good news, sir.

It was your Buffer's statement on Walsman's attempted

killing that sealed the deal.

Given our involvement in this, we'd love

the job of bagging that fish.

Yeah.

I figured this much.

I'll get someone to shoot through the yacht's coordinates

to your Nav.

[groans]

RAY WALSMAN: You stay back.

Take him to the bush somewhere and kill him.

Bury him.

I don't want him found.

Buffer, I got a deal for you.

[laughs]

CHARGE: Buffer.

Buffer.

BUFFER: Hm?

Are you going to turn out the light?

Ray Walsman's going to have a team of fancy lawyers

that are going to get him off, you know?

Mate, facts are facts.

He tried to have you killed, and there's no getting out of that.

Now, just turn out the light.

Charge-o.

CHARGE: Hm?

BUFFER: You've had a close shave with death.

Do you ever stop thinking about it, mate?

Charge-o?

[laughter]

[chimes]

MIKE [ON PA]: We are approaching the coordinates

given for Walsman's yacht.

Port RHIB on standby ready to insert.

You all clear?

Yes, gov.

Where the hell have you been?

Get a move on.

Hey, are you OK to do this?

Are you?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't I be?

Let's go.

Enterprise, this is Australian warship.

You should stop or heave to, or I will open fire on you.

Nav, captain, train the 50-cal on the cruiser.

G2, load, load, load.

G2, load, load, load.

NAV: G2, action.

G2, action.

G2, aim at target.

WALSMAN [ON RADIO]: Steady on Australian warship.

We're having a few problems with our VHF.

Enterprise is heaving to.

Insert the boarding party.

Insert, insert, insert.

[motor thrumming]

OK, Buffer, secure the deck.

Sit down, down.

Where's Mr. Walsman.

Walsman?

Good morning, lieutenant.

To what do I owe the pleasure of the company

of the navy on this fine day?

Mr. Walsman, I have been authorized

by the Australian and Samaruan governments

under the reciprocal extradition treaty

to place you under arrest and escort you back to our ship.

Really?

On what charges?

Conspiracy to murder as well as numerous other charges

under the Foreign Incursion Recruitment Act.

It's all there in the warrant, sir.

What's going on?

Nothing, sweetheart.

Just some sort of mistake.

I can assure you, sir, it's no mistake.

You've got no evidence against--

XO: You look like you've just seen a ghost, Mr. Walsman.

Put your hands behind your back now.

CARLY: What are you doing?

Leave him alone.

Dad, what's happening?

OK, Spider.

ET, I want you to stay on board and keep the vessel secure.

Ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

Where are you taking him? Dad?

I'm innocent.

No matter what they tell you, I'm innocent.

OK?

Carly.

Carly.

I want to go with my dad.

It's not possible right now.

You can't just come aboard his boat

and take him away like that.

Carly, the Samaruan government approved your father's warrant

for arrest. - Of course, they have.

He's backing the opposite side in the election.

It's not just that, Carly.

Your father is a big player in all of this.

He's bringing in mercenaries.

He's gun-running.

He's trying to fix the votes.

That's rubbish.

Who told you that?

Buffer.

He's been a witness through it all.

Your father tried to kill him, Carly.

[scoffs] That's a lie, Spider.

Carly, I wouldn't lie to you.

I wish this hadn't happened as well.

Carly?

[slap]

OK, Buffer.

I understand my executive officer

has informed you of the charges and of your rights.

You're sending me back to Australia.

We'll be handing you over to the Samaruan police

in preparation for your extradition.

We're in Samaru on a fishing expedition.

I hardly think that breaks any laws.

Aren't you forgetting something, Walsman?

We now have an eye witness.

If Balanbaan wins the election,

there'll be no extradition.

And you can live your life on the run.

You really think you can trust that thug for protection?

I consider Massita Balanbaan to be a friend, partner.

What's really in this for you?

Is it just about your mining interests?

In return for mining interests I'm

going to finance their roads, their hospitals,

education system, bringing Samaru into the 21st century.

Hell, I'm the greatest thing that

ever happened to this place.

You're stripping Samaru of its national resources.

You're exploiting its people for personal profit.

Uh, boss.

[whispers]

OK.

Thanks.

The United Nations declared the election null and void.

Local police are looking for Balanbaan to answer

charges of vote-rigging.

Looks like that extradition will be going through after all.

Captain, X. The handover with Mr. Walsman is complaint, over.

CAPTAIN [ON RADIO]: Captain, copy.

It's over, Buffer.

Why don't I feel like it's over?

The political situation is still unstable.

How can we be certain he's going to be extradited?

As long as you're around, the only time

he'll spend in Australia will be behind bars.

You can take comfort in that.

MAN: Come on, sir.

Whoa.

Sir, would you like one?

Why the face like a smashed crab?

Nothing.

Carly Walsman.

Buff, I was totally in with a chance

until we arrested her old man.

You may have dodged a bullet.

Look, Spider, the way I see is this.

It's a choice of loyalty.

I mean where would you rather be?

With that beautiful Carly Walsman

or here with the crew watching ET

attempt to limbo like an idiot.

Is that a trick question?

Nah.

I reckon I'd rather be here, Buff.

Cheers.

Cheers, man.

You're looking like you're ready for home, sir.

And you aren't?

I'd hate to think we were leaving with a job half done.

That's not the way I see it.

We got Ray Walsman.

We've done our bit.

I say we savor the success.

Cheers.

[caribbean music]

Listen up.

Bring it in.

Music.

[music stops]

Now, I know it's been a long few months,

but our time here in the Samaru Islands is almost at an end.

I just want you to know how proud I am of all of you

for the great work you've done and

the difficult circumstances.

I don't know what the future holds for this country,

but I do know that, thanks in part

to Hammersley, the next time we see

Ray Walsman will be in court.

[cheers and applause]

All right, Buffer.

All right.

No more speeches.

Let's enjoy ourselves.

Limbo!

And limbo.

The man is mad.

CAPTAIN [ON RADIO]: Welcome aboard Hammersley.

Here, mate.

Give us your bag.

No, I got it.

Thank you.

No worries.

And this is the boat deck, where you all came on board.

Got the two inflatable RHIBs, which you're

all well-acquainted with.

Are there any questions?

No?

Come through this way please.

Up that ladder is flag deck.

Just through here please.

We're-- we're not putting you out of your beds, are we?

No, mate.

There's plenty of room for you down in austere.

I'm, um, having trouble sleeping.

I bunk with a snorer.

[laughs] I sympathize with you.

My wife-- she sounds like a lawnmower.

Well, I hope she doesn't look one.

Well--

Sir, if you could please keep up with us.

Well, I hope you have a good night's sleep.

You and me both, mate.

[suspenseful music]

[struggling]

[splash]

[door opens]

[WHISPERS] What?

Who's there?

Uh, it's just me.

What are you doing up on deck, sir?

You should be down in austere.

I know, but it's stuffy in that place.

I was hoping to-- to bunk down here.

Sorry, sir.

No can do.

Rules are rules, I'm afraid.

I sympathize with you though.

My captain won't even let me sleep up on deck.

He says it's too dangerous.

Dangerous?

Rogue wave.

Ah.

I guess we're both stuck with our lots.

Go on.

[chime] MIKE [ON PA]: Call to hands.

Call to hands.

Wakey, wakey, wakey.

Sir, everyone's accounted for apart from one of the UN men.

All right, everyone.

Listen up.

Think carefully.

Let's work out when this man was last seen.

Based on that we'll plot a search.

Ma'am, he was in the galley last night

washing up his dinner plate.

It was sometime just before 21:30.

Great. Thanks, Bomber.

Ma'am, I think I saw him going into austere at 22:00.

Sure. All right.

Thanks for that. - Yeah.

I saw him 10:30.

He said he was going up on deck for a smoke.

Right.

And you're positive about that time?

Yeah.

I don't remember him coming back though.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

I saw the man this morning.

You saw him this morning?

Just after breakfast.

Are you sure about that?

Well, what time?

It was about 7:30.

He said he was going upstairs to get some sea air.

OK. OK.

This guy's been in the water for two hours.

That gives us a nice, tight window to work in.

Let's find him.

NEWS ANCHOR [ON TV]: The situation in the Samaru Islands

is deteriorating by the minute.

A military coup is currently underway.

Massita Balanbaan and a group of armed men, many of them

Samaruan nationals, have surrounded

the presidential palace here in the capital

and are currently laying siege to it.

Sir, this is just in from NAVCOM.

NEWS ANCHOR [ON TV]: Government forces

are engaged in a fierce gun battle that has already

seen a number of casualties.

Was it bad news?

Walsman has escaped custody.

What?

Well, how does that happen?

He was broken out by a group of mercenaries.

They've killed two policemen in the process.

And no doubt Walsman is behind this coup.

XO: Well, what are the UN doing?

They're adopting a sit-back-and-see policy.

If Balanbaan seizes power, we won't be able to extradite.

Yeah.

The coup-- it could fail.

Yeah, and Walsman will just head

for some country that doesn't have an extradition

treaty with Australia.

Either way, he's gone.

Sir, HMAS Launceston's just pulled a body out of the water

62 miles southeast of us.

United Nations ID tag confirms that it's our man overboard.

62 miles.

Someone's got their parallel ruler back to front.

And Commander Marshall wants to talk to you

on the sat phone in COMCEN.

I should uh--

Yeah.

Call the search off, X.

NEWS ANCHOR [ON TV]: --the prosperity and stability

the Samaruan people have struggled

for, for so long could well be shattered for many years

to come.

Walsman's mercenaries are coordinating this attack

on the presidential palace.

I've got incoming reports of mounting casualties.

I understand it's chaos.

We've just received notification

from HMAS Launceston, concerning your missing UN observer.

Yeah.

My RO passed on that message.

I'll be putting together a SITREP once I've conducted--

Just shelve the SITREP for the time being, Mike.

The boys on Launceston are treating

this as a suspicious death.

Suspicious?

I don't understand.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to surprise you.

There's no surprises on this tub, mate.

Doing your laundry.

Yeah.

Maid's busy doing my cabin.

[laughs] Well, don't let me stop you.

Well, you must be bored.

Standing around watching a sailor do his washing.

Yes.

Yes, I'm very bored.

I'm just looking for ways to kill the time.

G'day, boys.

BUFFER: Hey.

You all right, mate?

Yeah.

The alarm was raised 19 minutes

after his last sighting.

In that time, we only traveled 23 miles.

How can a body be 62 clicks away?

Sir, we think that the last sighting of the man

overboard was a furphy.

Absolutely, it was.

NAVCOM said the body was wrapped in a hammock.

He was murdered before he hit the water.

Murdered?

Whoever gave Buffer that last sighting

was obviously the killer.

This tumbler's not spinning.

I reckon there's stuck in here.

Something's jamming it.

MIKE [ON PA]: Do you hear there? Captain speaking.

Buffer, bridge.

Buffer, bridge.

[grunts]

ET, you seen Buffer?

Yeah. Yeah.

He's doing his laundry.

Go get him.

Yep.

[grunts]

[growls]

[grunts]

[growls]

[shouts]

[gasps]

[grunts]

--up on the bridge, ma--

[pants]

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

Yeah.

Good.

Who's paying you, Mr. Zorin?

If that's your real name.

We know you don't work for the UN.

You joined the other observers on Filumi Island

just prior to boarding.

You were sent here to kill the only witness

that can put Walsman away.

You failed.

Tell me where we can find Ray Walsman.

Tell me where we can find Ray Walsman!

Pete.

You won't talk to us.

We're transferring you to HMAS Launceston,

where you'll be questioned by an Interpol representative.

Maybe you'll be more cooperative with them.

[upbeat music]

We found his duffel bag hidden down in austere.

It would seem his plan was to do Buffer in and then

take a leap over the side.

And swim where?

Well, not necessarily anywhere.

It's a military-style EPIRB.

Once you set it off, it transmits

on a discreet frequency so that only the people tuning in

can hone in on it and locate him.

The question is who's tuning in?

I've had a radar contact on the same course

as us for the last six hours just below the horizon.

I thought it was another boatload of evacuees un--

until now.

The rendezvous boat?

What are you thinking?

[beeping]

Radar contact is closing on the island.

Swain-o.

All right.

It's them.

Charlie 8-2, this Sierra 8-2.

I have a visual on the contact. Over.

Sir, it's Ray Walsman's yacht.

Over.

Copy that, Swain.

OK, Nav, keep us behind the headland.

We don't want to scare them off.

Slow ahead, both engines.

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

Go ahead, Charlie 8-2.

We have Walsman's boat heading for the beacon.

Await my signal to insert.

Over.

Boarding party standing by.

Over.

Charlie 8-2, they've deployed a zodiac

heading for our position. Over.

CAPTAIN [ON RADIO]: Captain, copy.

All right, Nav.

It's time to show our hand.

Take us around the headland.

Half ahead, both engines.

Revolutions 1000.

Weapons ready.

[guns cocking]

[beeping]

On my count.

3, 2, 1.

Go.

ALL: Australian Navy.

Put your weapons down.

Drop your weapons.

- Drop your weapons. - Get down.

- Put your weapons down. - On the ground.

- I will fire upon you. - Get down on the ground!

Face down! Get down on the ground!

Hands behind your back.

Charlie 8-2, this is Sierra 8-2.

Our position is secure. Over.

I repeat.

Our position is secure.

Roger, Swain.

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

Insert, insert, insert.

Roger that, Charlie 8-2.

Hands on the bridge!

- Down! - Sit down!

You, sit down!

[interposing voices]

Step away.

Hands where I can see them.

Get down.

Sit down.

Walsman!

OK, we've secured the deck.

Minimal resistance.

Roger, X. Proceed with caution.

Over.

We're searching for Walsman now.

Buffer.

[gun cocks]

What is this?

Looks like a war room.

He's gone.

Bomber, get the skipper down here.

Captain, X. Sir, Ray Walsman is not on the yacht.

He must be running his operation from another location.

And he's abandoned a very sophisticated comms

set-up here, sir.

X, is there anything-- anything

at all that might give us a clue as to where

his command center is?

Over.

What the hell are you people doing here?

Maybe you can explain to us what is going on.

I have no idea.

Buffer.

People are dying here.

Where is Ray Walsman?

I don't know where he is.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

Where is Ray Walsman?

CAPTAIN [ON RADIO]: X, Captain.

Get as close to the contact as you

can before you make your move and keep

both RHIBs hidden behind you.

Over.

Roger that.

X, I have visual at red five.

She's an ocean trawler by the looks of her.

2,500 yards.

You better not be lying.

That's his new command post.

Sir, we have a visual contact.

Stationary, bearing 035.

She appears to be at anchor.

Over.

X, we'll hug the coastline, use it as cover.

You're our decoy.

Over.

Copy that, Charlie 8-2.

Starboard 10.

Steer 035.

Starboard 10.

Steer 035.

Bravo and Echo teams, I want you to remain

off that starboard quarter.

You stay as close to our side as you can,

and we'll do our best to conceal you from the contact.

Yeah.

Roger that, X.

WALSMAN [ON RADIO]: Enterprise, this is Barameda.

You were supposed to remain on the east side of the island.

Why are approaching?

Over.

That's Walsman.

Bravo and Echo teams, maintain close quarters.

The contact has seen us.

Over. - Yeah.

Roger that, X.

WALSMAN [ON RADIO]: Enterprise, respond.

Why the hell are you approaching?

OK.

Now, you remember what to say?

Barameda, this is the Enterprise.

We've been having some engine troubles, Mr. Walsman.

We need to come alongside.

WALSMAN [ON RADIO]: OK, Bill.

Come alongside.

Make it quick.

OK, Charlie 8-2.

This is X-ray 8-2.

Walsman has given his permission to come alongside.

Over.

That's good to hear, X. Take up position in the RHIBs.

Wait for my signal.

OK.

Let's gear up.

Stopping both engines.

All right.

Both engines stopped.

This is it, Buffer.

Yes, it is, ma'am.

What's their distance from the contact, Nav?

500 yards and closing, sir.

This is Charlie 8-2.

Insert, insert, insert.

Copy that.

Commencing insertion.

Let's go.

All right, Nav.

Enough of the hide and seek.

Bring us up to full steam.

Half ahead, both engines.

Revolutions 2000.

I got it, Nav.

Half ahead, both engines.

Revolutions 2000.

Come on!

Get down.

Get to the back!

Get to the back.

XO [ON RADIO]: We're under fire on the deck.

We need immediate assistance.

We've got gunfire on the quarterdeck.

Stay low!

ET's been hit.

We've got a man down.

Repeat, we've got a man down.

ET's been shot.

Move!

Come on. Mate, you're OK.

You're OK. It got the Kevlar, mate.

It got Kevlar. - ET's OK.

ET's OK.

The Kevlar caught the round.

X, watch your back!

Walsman, give it up now!

Take cover, X.

XO [ON RADIO]: Charlie 8--

we're pinned down.

We're unable to move.

Over.

We're in need of urgent assistance.

We are in need of urgent assistance.

X, you and your team take cover.

I say again.

Take cover now.

XO [ON RADIO]: Copy that, sir.

OK.

Take cover.

MIKE [ON LOUDSPEAKER]: This Australian warship.

Cease fire and throw down your weapon or I will fire upon you.

Are my people safe, Nav?

Nav, are my people safe?

Safe and covered, sir.

MIKE [ON LOUDSPEAKER]: For the last time

this is Australian warship.

Cease fire and throw down your weapon or I will fire upon you.

[inaudible]!

Train the typhoon at the cargo on the stern of that vessel

there.

Typhoon on target, sir.

Command approved.

Engage.

Firing.

Put your hands behind your head.

Guns safe.

Reloaded, sir.

OK, bomber.

Secure the decks.

Yes, ma'am.

[radio static]

BALANBAAN [ON RADIO]: Walsman, come in.

This is Balanbaan.

Dammit, Walsman, we need instructions here.

Walsman, where are you?

It's going to hell here.

We need instructions now.

[gunshots]

Charlie, X. Sir, Walsman nowhere to be found.

He's got to be below decks.

OK.

Where's Buffer?

Last I saw he was heading to the wheelhouse.

[gunshots]

It's been locked from the inside.

[gunshots]

Let's get it open.

We just need to find something to jimmy it with.

Here we go, ma'am.

[grunts] It's no good, ma'am. - Come on.

Keep trying.

CAPTAIN [ON RADIO]: SITREP, X?

Sir, we're trying to gain access into the engine room.

Still no sign of Buffer.

Oh, no.

No.

[groans]

Please. Please.

No, no.

Why should I show you any mercy, Walsman?

Did you show me any when you made me dig my own grave?

Please.

I'm begging you.

How does it feel, Walsman?

How does it feel to know you're about to die?

[grunts] OK.

We're in.

Go.

Buffer.

X!

Come on, mate.

We'll get you down below and get you checked out.

Ugh. It hurts like a mongrel.

I guess you cracked your sternum.

Ah.

Don't make me laugh.

Nav, can you help him up there?

- Ugh. - You all right?

I'm sorry.

Good work, Buffer.

Thank you, sir.

Why don't you grab a shower?

Looks like you could do with one?

Aye, sir.

You did well, too, X.

I'm ready to go home.

ETA home base 1800 tomorrow.

Provided there's no unexpected developments.

I reckon we can always count on those.

Australian federal police are sending a boat over.

They'll take custody of you, your yacht, and your men.

Oh, and Ray, the coup has been put down.

Balanbaan surrendered.

It's over.

[military drumroll]

[marching band music]

The navy prides itself on honor, loyalty, honesty,

courage, and integrity.

They are values that each and every one of you

have exemplified under extraordinary circumstances.

Therefore, it is with great pleasure

that I present to the crew of HMAS

Hammersley a Chief of Defense Force Unit commendation.

Your achievements are of the highest order.

And in keeping with the finest tradition

of the Royal Australian Navy and the Australian Defense Force.

HMAS Hammersley, dismissed!
