[beeping noises]

Where's that FFV, Swain?

It has just looked over the line, ma'am.

Must have seen us coming.

They'll be back.

This almost looks edible, Bomber.

Move along, 2Dads, you're bad for morale.

Bomber, can I get muesli with some hot milk on the side,

please? - Yeah, sure.

In a glass?

In a glass would be fine.

Can you make it really hot?

Really hot it is.

You're really hot.

[rumbling sounds]

Here you go, Robert.

[screaming]

Oh, Rob are you OK? - Yup.

Sorry.

Did it burn?

It's fine.

It's fine.

[rumbling]

We're losing speed at a fairly rapid rate of knots.

Charge? [beeping]

Engines are overheating initiating emergency shutdown.

MAN: Both engines.

Charge?

I'm at it, ma'am.

What the hell is that?

Oh, we're dead in the water, sir.

The props have seized up.

I've got Dutchy and 2Dads gearing up.

They'll be ready to go in a couple of minutes.

Good.

Yeah, it's a long line fishing net.

We've fouled up.

And no one saw it?

Oh, it's no floats.

It was lying just beneath the surface.

Now it's got get himself well and truly

wrapped around the props.

The bow thrusters are the only thing holding in position, sir.

Any damage?

Will be hard to assess until we cut it away.

Yeah, managed to cut the bulk of it free.

And I've attached it to the winch, so away you go.

Hoist!

Easy does it.

Keep it at that pace, because there's a lot of it.

- Stop. - Avast!

Body in the net.

XO.

[theme music]

How's going, Swain?

Sir, no wallet, no papers to identify him with.

MIKE FLYNN: How long has he been in the water?

Hard to say, but it is certainly more than a couple

of days.

Well, NAVCOM haven't had any persons overboard

reports in the last 12 days.

So he's not making this easy for us.

I'm so sorry, Robert.

Really, the boat just moved and I--

Bomber, it was an accident.

It is still stinging?

Quite a bit.

Well, I think I'll have a shot of morphine.

I don't think there's a lot else we can do.

Wait.

My mom always used to do this on burns.

[blowing]

Better?

Just relax.

Don't try to move.

Don't let me get frustrated.

Nothing less than frustration.

[blowing]

Sir.

Robert, perfect timing.

Upload these photos, forward them

to NAVCOM with Swain's report.

They can try and work out who he is.

Sir, there's something that I need to discuss with you.

It's fairly urgent.

Anything serious.

It's about a breach of navy regulations.

I've been involved in non regulation-fraternization

with Bomber, an unacceptable level of personal involvement

is involved, and it's becoming complicated.

With Bomber?

I'm pretty sure it's getting to a point

where she's thinking of moving on away from Hammersley.

Greener Pastures

So you're aware of the regulations regarding--

Oh, yes.

I'm well aware and that is why I'm

bringing it to our attention at the earliest

possible opportunity.

Well, I'll have a chat with the other party.

Bomber?

Yeah, Bomber.

And we'll take it from there.

[knocking]

Yes.

Sir, you're wanted on deck.

Thank you.

What's the holdup?

Well, there's several meters of it,

and we couldn't leave it there to endanger the shipping.

But there's still quite a lot fouling up the props.

That is going to be a big job getting that free.

How long?

We were doing 16 knots, that's 1,350 revs,

and then it wraps itself around the shaft,

gets up into the glands.

Best guess?

24 hours, if we work around the clock.

Well, let's try and get to the lee of the nearest

island, at least.

Well, we'll have to do it without engines.

The ribs?

Yeah.

RADIO: Lines are secure, Dutchy.

Take up the slack.

MAN: Copy that.

RADIO: Just keep it nice and steady.

Tie lines appear to be holding, XO.

If you're happy with the spade, we'll be there within an hour.

Or whatever gets us there, Dutchy.

RADIO: Very philosophical, XO.

Always wanted to visit a deserted island.

Now I can mark that off my things to do this.

Speaking of which, can I have a word?

He said what?

He spoke of an unacceptable level of personal involvement?

Now I have to ask, is there a relation?

A relationship?

Is that what he's calling it?

Of course not.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek a while back, a thank you.

It was nothing.

Well, Robert seems to think there was.

It was nothing.

Sir, why do I always attract the nutcases

and then have to leave town?

Leave this with me, OK?

Thank you, sir.

Oh, Bomber?

I note that your Naval employment contract

is up in a couple of months.

You going to sign on again?

With respect, sir, that's my business.

And events like this don't help me with deciding.

Fair enough.

You're not really thinking of leaving, are you?

You OK?

Don't talk.

You upset because there's a dead body on board?

It's because of you, Robert.

I do not appreciate your putting a relationship

between us that doesn't exist.

Understand this, even a decomposing body

is more attractive than you.

Get it?

I'll get that for you.

You really think it's deserted?

Maybe.

Let's get off this boat.

It would be great to explore.

That would be cool.

But can we really do that?

Why not?

Hammersley is not going anywhere.

Let's do it.

Just the girls.

Just the girls.

Excuse me, sir.

Permission to requisition a vehicle?

Sorry, join the queue.

Dutchy's has already requested one with Swain and and 2Dads.

We need the other one as a standby.

Fishing expedition.

Who's going fishing?

There's great Spanish mackerel waters around here,

and we must take advantage of these opportunities

for team building crew bonding.

Good.

You can drop the three of us off on that island, then.

Because where we're going is over the other side.

OK, we can do that.

Yeah.

Let's go.

[music playing]

Don't mind your step, girls.

I'll call you on the radio when

we're ready to be picked up.

Ma'am.

Free at last.

Late for a while.

Don't have too much fun.

Let's go.

Full ahead.

Th fish are waiting.

It's quiet up here.

Yes, some of the crew are fishing.

XO, Bomber, and Bird have gone hiking on the island.

Taking a radio, I hope.

Yes.

Right, just to let you know I spoke to Bomber.

She didn't corroborate your statement so at this stage

I'm taking no action.

Robert, you've got to learn to read people better.

You spend too much time in your head.

Listen, connect more.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to get you both together for face

to face some time, just to chat.

Haven't you always dreamed of this?

What, hiking?

Running away to a deserted island, escaping.

What do you think, Bomber?

When I was younger, this would be my perfect fantasy.

These days, I don't think fantasies are too healthy.

Maybe, maybe not.

But this place is almost too good to be true.

It is beautiful.

ROBERT: CO to COMCEN.

Sir, I just got this one from NAVCOM.

Federal police records identified the body

as belonging to one Edward Pritchard,

sometimes known as Teddy.

Thanks, RO.

It's in the hands of the AFP now.

I should have brought my hiking boots.

Still, it's a nice change from the boat.

Enjoy it while you can, girls.

I wonder how the boys are doing.

I wouldn't worry, Bird.

I'm sure we'll hear about it when we get back.

[woman screaming]

Bomber!

Bomber.

Bomber, are you all right?

I can't see if she's just disappeared.

Come on, let's find a way down there.

JESSICA BIRD: Bomber!

Bomber.

Bomber, call if you can hear us.

Are sure you didn't miss her?

Well, we covered both sides of the stream.

Bomber?

Bomber, call if you can hear us.

Please.

Nothing down there, XO.

I found something, XO.

Is it hers?

Yeah, it's hers.

There's a strong current down there, XO.

So I reckon there's only two places she could be.

She said the further downstream, or here.

No way.

She's not in here.

Don't even think it.

We're going downstream.

KATE MCGREGOR: Let's go.

Bomber.

Bomb!

XO.

Someone's come out of the water here.

Looks like Bomber made it this far.

All right, let's keep looking.

You're awake.

Just take it slowly.

Am I dreaming?

It's hard to say.

You must have hit your head pretty hard.

I'm Sean.

I'm Rebecca.

Here, drink this.

I found you floating downstream from the lagoon.

You were unconscious, so I carried you here.

You carried me?

Welcome to paradise.

OK, now I know I'm dreaming.

No, it's real.

It was called Paradise by the founders.

Fair enough.

What else could you call it?

Who were the founders?

A group of people who wanted to build an eco-friendly

sustainable life.

So, electricity?

It's all solar.

I thought this island was deserted.

We're a non-polluting carbon neutral community.

We like to live as close to nature as we can.

I found out about this place when I was hiking in Vietnam.

How did you hear about it?

No, I didn't.

How did you get here?

A Navy ship, Hammersley.

I was wondering where I am.

You're Navy?

Yeah.

I was hiking, I fell.

This is-- they'll be really worried about me.

How's our guest?

Making a rapid recovery.

Rebecca, this is Peter.

Peter's father and a group of like minded people

founded the settlement.

Hi.

This place is amazing.

You're all amazing.

Well, we're no angels.

But let's face it, if the world keeps going downhill,

everyone's going to have to live this way.

It's Rebecca, yes?

Yeah Yeah, but most people call me Bomber?

Because?

In the Navy, if you have the surname Brown,

you get tagged Bomber for some reason.

Navy?

Yeah, but I don't hold that against me.

No, no, no.

It's just we've never had a visit from the Navy before.

Well, most of us are OK.

But--

Bomber?

- You'll find out soon enough. - Bomber.

- I'm OK. - My god.

We thought we'd lost you.

We were so worried.

What the hell happened to you?

You, OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You sure?

We can get Sway to check you over.

Welcome.

Welcome to paradise.

So you own the island.

Yes, inherited from my father.

Proceeds of another life.

Most of us here had past lives.

I myself was an architect, but we wanted something better.

It's tempting

Commander, I must admit there's a request

attached to our hospitality.

If it's at all possible could you not advertise our existence

to the outside world?

I know it's a big ask, but everyone here has earned

the respect of everyone else.

We're not a large group, as you can see,

and I prefer not to be overrun, as a delicate balance

needs to be maintained.

It's exactly the same on the boat.

I can relate.

Thank you, sir.

All those Navy rules and uniforms.

Do you get sick of it?

There was a time when I felt like I needed some discipline,

so I joined the Navy.

You still feel that way?

Between you and me, there are times

when you get the urge to break a few rules and jump ship.

Hi.

Hi.

- I'm Leo. - I'm Brooke.

You have beautiful eyes, and your smile.

OK, enough about you.

So tell me what do you think about me?

Absolutely nothing.

[laughs]

It was a joke.

You do have a beautiful though.

Brooke, I was kidding.

Well you're improving.

Normally they slap you before they will go away.

I still think we had a genuine connection.

Long distance.

I wouldn't let it get to you, mate.

I don't think these people live in the real world.

Still food's good.

What's this like?

I seem to do things for a few years and then just move on.

So I might see you back here?

Maybe.

I sign up to the Navy for three years,

but my contract's up in a couple of months.

Well you'd make a great addition to our community.

You're just saying that.

OK, I'd like to see more of you.

[music playing]

Bomber?

Bomber?

Everyone's got a past, mine's boring.

Mine's complicated.

You don't want to know.

Come on, he's choosing the past.

You're just perfect.

Hey!

Hey, is he bothering you?

Who is this guy?

A friend.

A good friend who doesn't want to see

you being taken advantage of.

Robert, you're not a friend, or a good one.

Friends do good things.

Come on let's go.

Was trying to look after your interests.

Bomber.

[coughs]

Bomber, you here?

[shuffling]

Bomber?

Bomb.

Oh, no.

No, no no.

I need some help here.

Anyone.

Help!

Seems we're missing one of our crew.

As soon as we've located him we'll be out of your hair.

Hey guys, we just got word from Hammersley.

The prop's been cleared and we're moving out.

Have you seen 2 Dads anywhere?

No.

So no one's seen him for a while.

X, locals just said they saw him leave the village this way

a little while ago.

He definitely didn't come our way, and that's a worry.

One of those paths down their leads to the swamp.

I better go check.

Dutchy, go with him.

Yes, sir.

Mike, are you sure this is the right way,

we're in the middle of nowhere.

This is the only way he could have come.

2 Dads!

Dutchy!

Where are you?

Over here!

Don't get too close!

We need to reach him.

A stick or something.

2 Dads, when you step off, mate.

I know, can you hurry up.

I'm still sinking here.

Just relax.

Try to stop struggling, yeah?

Easy for you to say!

What stinks?

It's swamp gas.

It's like you happened hear a pretty girl into the swamp,

the stronger and more dangerous it gets.

Look, we've got to get him out.

Just try not to move at all.

Your natural buoyancy will help you.

Dutchy!

- Yeah, behind, here. - Don't move.

Grab It.

Grab it.

Stop it.

Just grab my leg, here.

Dutchy!

Grab my hand.

Grab my hand.

Hey, don't let go!

Hold my hand!

Don't let go, mate!

[coughs]

Thanks, guys.

We could use this guy in the Navy.

[coughs]

A large portion of the island is swamp.

We just stay away from it.

But apart from the obvious dangers,

getting lost in the mist, there's

also the hydrogen sulfide.

That's the rotten egg gas.

If you can smell it, it's probably not so bad.

It means it's low concentration.

But when it's stronger, after a minute or two

it can deaden the nasal glands.

That's a nerve toxin, it can kill you.

It's also highly flammable isn't it?

Oh yes.

I can see why you avoid it.

Excuse me, sir, we're ready to push off.

Thanks.

I'll sort you out properly when we get back on the boat.

Fair enough.

Funny.

I thought the water was warm.

Funny guy.

Peter, thank you very much for your hospitality.

It's our pleasure.

Ray, let's go.

Bomber, we're off.

So--

So--

I thought we'd have longer.

Yeah that's the navy for you.

Thinking you'll come back?

I mean now that you know we're here

you might want to come here and check it out again.

You know I've been thinking, maybe I do deserve

a little bit of fantasy.

Maybe we both do.

Bomber.

I want to say that I'm sorry.

You say that, Robert, but you've got no idea why.

You're upset.

Yeah but you really don't get what's going on for me.

Do you?

You just got this crap going on in your head,

and you don't quite see things from my point of view.

I tell you a dozen times that there's

nothing going on between us, and it makes no impression.

I think you should just stay away from me.

Do you understand?

Anything else?

Something was biting me in that mud.

Whinge, whinge, whinge.

Hey, I reckon those leeches sucked

two liters of blood out of me.

Relax you're not going to need a transfusion.

You going to put something on these bites, Swaino?

Yes, because I'm a carer and a giver.

Look a that.

They're black.

I was reading up on hydrogen sulfide.

It turns copper black, buttons.

Am I going to have to buy a new set?

I'd say so, you've damaged Navy property.

Swaino?

I thought this was just a black band.

It's an arthritis bracelet.

It's copper.

So it's been exposed to hydrogen sulfide.

It's a good chance this guy died in the swamp

on the island.

Right.

We're going back.

So none of you have seen Peter?

Ask amongst yourselves.

Let us know.

Do you know this man?

It's Teddy.

Edward Pritchard?

Yes.

Sir.

How do you know him?

He and I are involved.

When was the last time you saw him?

About two weeks ago.

He went to the mainland for family reasons, never returned.

And that didn't raise alarm bells?

Peter told me that sometimes people

just had enough for the island, doesn't suit everyone.

Who do you think was the last person to see him?

That would be Peter.

Teddy left for the boat with Peter.

Am I right?

X, have you seen Sean?

No I haven't seen him anywhere.

He and Peter are the only ones unaccounted for.

Peter was upset as I was when Teddy didn't return.

They'd argued the day before.

They argued about what?

I'm not sure.

Did something happened to Teddy?

We found a body at sea.

Teddy?

It was found tangled in a fishing

net about 15 nautical miles from this position.

So he drowned?

No.

Well we can't be certain without a post-mortem,

but at this stage we think that he died in the swamp.

What is it?

Is Sean involved in any of this?

Did Sean and Peter kill Teddy?

Anyone has any information you'd better tell me now.

Sir, Peter was last seen taking Sean down that path,

towards the swamp.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Charge, I want you, 2 Dads,

and RO to meet me at a location at the rush.

Bring a whole set of breathing apparatus for eight people.

Over.

You're hiding something.

Is that the way the Peter took Teddy?

Is there any reason we should be worried about Sean's welfare?

The interior is dangerous isn't it?

Why would Peter be taking Sean that way?

Look, I don't know. I can't say--

Bomber.

All right, listen up.

The federal police have been informed, they're on their way.

But in the meantime, our target is somewhere in that direction.

Now we need to question Peter, but we have

no idea where he's taking Sean.

When we reach the swamp let's split into pairs that way

we'll cover more territory.

Call if you locate either of them.

And don't forget hydrogen sulfide

gas, highly flammable, i.e. don't

fire any weapons in that swamp.

Understood? - Yes, sir.

Let's move.

Gas.

There's no gas here.

Wow.

Opium poppies.

Yeah.

I think they've been lanced to harvest the resin.

They're beautiful.

Sir, Dutchy.

I think we've hit the mother lode.

We're on the western edge of the swamp.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Roger that, Dutchy.

We need to take a closer look.

I guarantee you those packages are

filled with dried opium resin.

Someone's up to his neck in this.

Did you see Peter in there?

No.

Sir, we've located Sean and three armed hostile

exiting a drug shack approximately 500 meters east

of the village, over.

[gunshot]

Hello, Rebecca.

Now tell me how many are you?

Put your mask on.

Put it on.

Stop, struggling.

I said stop!

Ah!

Unfortunately, Rebecca, you've become

more trouble than you're worth.

You just couldn't leave us alone, could you?

Goodbye, Rebecca.

Looks like someone's been busy.

Dutchy, to CO.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Go, Dutchy.

We've just found a vet for drawing opium resin.

Looks like they pack it and sell it unrefined.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Any sign of Swain,

Bomber, or our target?

Someone's been here very recently.

They're gone now.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: Everyone in the village

is probably in on this, over.

I agree.

Who wants to bet they're wanting to get a long way

away from here right now.

MIKE FLYNN [ON RADIO]: They're on the way to your position,

over.

Copy that, out.

Dutchy.

Swain.

What happened? - I don't know.

I've been hit in the back of the head.

Where's Bomber?

She was here, she was--

Whoa, take it easy, buddy.

Take some deep breath, let's get this off.

Robert can you--

Robert!

Bomber!

[coughs]

Bomber!

Halt!

Just us, X.

Shed, that way?

Yeah.

Sir.

Hey!

Stop!

I'll lead them, he'll lead us to Peter.

Let's go.

Bomber!

Bomber!

Bomber!

[coughs]

Come on, Bomber.

[inhales]

Look!

This is pointless.

We have people converging in the area.

You won't get away.

There, it's Peter!

Flare, get down!

Flare!

[explosion]

X.

KATE MCGREGOR: 2 Dads.

2 Dads.

It's OK, X. All the gas combusted.

There's a slight smell, not too strong.

You OK, Charge?

My ears are still ringing.

The customers must have a boat waiting on the other side

of the island.

I bet that's where they'll head now.

Found our position at the rush.

Bomber.

How long's she been like this?

No idea.

Robert carried her through the swamp like that.

He's breathing pretty normally now, sir.

Can you hold that there.

Keep her head up.

[inhales]

Her pulse is thready but it's there.

Come on, Bomb.

For me.

For anyone.

[coughs]

Let it go.

You all right?

[coughing]

You're fine, mate.

2 Dads.

Listen.

Bomber will ask.

I need you to tell her that Dutchy found her.

Dutchy carried her here, OK?

Why?

Just-- can you do that?

MAN [ON RADIO]: XO.

KATE MCGREGOR: Go ahead.

MAN [ON RADIO]: The boat has been spotted arriving

at the north end of the island.

Copy that.

Sir.

Yeah.

Can we move?

We'll have to carry her.

X, you and Swain get them back to the ship.

Rightio.

[coughs]

Come on.

Go.

Target ahead, 11 o'clock.

Contact!

[gunshots]

Dutchy!

[gunshot]

2 Dads!

Charge, cover fire.

[gunshots]

Talk to me, Charge.

Don't change, we need cover!

[gunshots]

Drop your weapons!

Get down right now!

Get down on the ground!

Don't move, stay down!

All clear here, sir.

Give it up, Peter.

It's all over.

We know what happened with Ted.

Don't move.

Give me your weapon.

Peter, we have Sean.

You're on your own now.

There's no way off the island, we have you surrounded.

Put your weapon down and come forward with your hands raised.

[gunshot]

Secure boys.

Get up.

Just give me a good excuse.

Watch your step, sir.

Straight up the gangway please.

Watch your step.

You killed that man, Pritchard.

Is that what they're saying?

I didn't do that.

Peter killed him.

But you were there.

He was going to the authorities.

He had this attitude that the poppies compromised us.

Everyone in paradise knew about the poppies.

So they all knew that Peter murdered one of their own.

No, he didn't tell them.

You make me sick.

Get him out of here, 2 Dads.

Sir, just for the record I've decided to renew my contract

for another three years.

Glad to have you aboard, Bomber.

Something help you with that choice?

I just like the idea that I have people

around looking out for me.

Excuse me.

What was that for?

2 Dads told me that you found me and carried me all that way.

Thanks.

No, that wasn't me.

That was RO.

But thanks anyway.

Sorry.

Why?

You told me to stay away.

Well, thanks for ignoring that.
