Range, 6 nautical miles and closing.

I've got a visual, sir.

She's a type 3 FFV.

Oh, no, sir?

It's Hannibal.

Hannibal?

Who's that?

He's our biggest pain in the ass.

Literally.

Last time we tried to board him,

RO got stabbed in the ass with one of his porcupine bows.

Ouch.

Did you get him?

Oh, yes.

He's been prosecuted and deported a number of times.

And each time he comes back nastier than before.

Vessel on my starboard bow, this

is Australian warship Hammersley,

you are to stop or heave to immediately.

We very busy.

We go fishing.

Boarding party, close up.

Here we go again.

Hello, Mr. Dixon.

How your skinny ass?

Hands to boarding stations.

Hands to boarding stations.

Dutchy, I want in on the boarding.

Face your demons.

Good man.

RO, what are you doing?

I said he could come, ma'am.

Don't make this personal.

Let's go.

XO [ON LOUDSPEAKER]: You are to stop or heave to.

We intend to board you.

Stop or heave to.

Porcupines go out.

They're not stopping, ma'am.

2 Dads, give them three warning shots across their bow.

Engage.

Prepare for smash boarding.

Hit the box.

Look out, porcupines.

Deploy the tear gas, RO.

With pleasure, X.

On gas masks.

Stand up.

All right.

I kill you, Navy pig dog bitch.

RO, get off him.

Get off him.

Navy pig dog.

Mr. Hannibal-- can you get him up, yeah?

Get up.

Get up.

Now, this is a map.

I know that you can read maps.

This is the line.

You are in Australian waters.

You're fishing illegally.

Don't see any line.

Oh, don't get smart.

Hey, RO, go below with 2 Dads and search.

Watch out for Charlie.

He crazy.

It stinks down here.

Freaky too.

Who's this Charlie?

Just ignore Hannibal's nonsense.

We've heard it all before.

He's just trying to spook you.

Clear.

Hey, RO, icebox.

Got you, Hannibal.

Oh!

[screaming]

[theme music]

Don't touch it.

Ah, god.

It's broken the skin, but I think you're going to live.

He go for throat, not balls.

You lucky.

Permission to shoot the dog, X.

- He champion fighting dog. - Hey.

Undefeated.

Very valuable.

Oh, no, he should be put down.

Serve you right.

I warned you.

Mr. Hannibal, no one is going to shoot your dog.

There is no evidence here of an illegal catch,

so you are free to go back across the line.

Understood?

Now, Bomber, can you bring me the rib?

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Dixon, you no catch me.

I'm smarter than you.

RO.

Don't touch it.

He's heading Northeast back across the line.

There's an ice boat out there somewhere, X. I'll bet on it.

Let's take a sweep to the Northwest.

If we can nail that ice boat, he won't have anywhere to unload.

And then we take him?

That's the plan.

Portends, 320.

When was your last tetanus shot?

It was 3 and 1/2 years ago.

March 16th.

I have a morbid fear of needles.

All right.

Well, that's something you might have

to address before we get home.

You'll be getting rabies shots.

Do you think the dog had rabies?

No, it's a precautionary measure.

I have a fever and a slight headache and I feel fatigued.

I feel very fatigued.

It's not-- I can see--

The symptoms take weeks to show up, OK?

- Yeah. - Even if you did have it.

At what time it's probably too late.

Am I right? - Would you relax?

We'll get you the vaccine before then.

I knew it.

All patched up?

Yes, ma'am, for what it's worth.

RO, can I see you for a minute?

Sure.

I just want to make sure that you're not

developing some unhealthy attitudes

to some aspects of your work.

Specifically?

Foreign fisherman.

On that boarding this morning, I thought that you

were a little overzealous.

Well, I was enthusiastic about apprehending them, ma'am.

I believe in the job that we do.

Is that a bad thing?

So long as it doesn't become a personal vendetta.

Right.

Well, they are like any other criminal that breaks the law,

I believe they deserve to be punished.

Is the world really that black and white to you?

I'm not a racist, if that's what you're implying.

No, that's not what I meant.

I'm sorry, I've been bitten by a mongrel dog,

I'm concerned with my physical well-being at the moment.

Where are we headed anyway?

We're searching for an ice boat.

Don't you ever pay attention?

Only when I'm forced to.

I'll keep that in mind.

That's disgusting.

Did you look in the mirror, RO?

No. What?

Um, no, I'm doing some research on rabies.

You should see some of these symptoms.

Acute pain, violent movements, uncontrolled excitements,

depressions.

How can we tell if you have it?

[laughter]

Well, I'm glad that you find my misfortune so amusing.

Also known as hydrophobia, a fear of the water.

I'd say you're in big trouble there, little buddy.

We're surrounded by the stuff.

Did they mention no sense of humor?

How are you?

My throats tingling, I'm slightly nauseous,

if you're genuinely interested.

- What's that supposed to mean? - Nothing.

Eat your food, Bomber.

They're symptoms of rabies.

It's all in your head.

You're a total hypochondriac.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Hydrophobia, fear of water.

RO, that's no way to test it.

You got to take a dip, total immersion.

It's the only way.

Eat up, Bird.

You're on guard watch.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be sneezing like a baby.

Total immersion, RO.

In confronting my mortality, I feel

it is imperative to address the residual bad feeling

between us.

It's important for me to set everything right

and to say how sorry I am.

Swain?

Swain?

Swain?

I'm sorry to wake you.

I'm suffering from insomnia on top of everything else.

It's 3 o'clock, I know, I couldn't sleep.

All right.

Go up to the ward, and I'll check you out.

Your blood pressure is fine.

Your temperature is fine.

Your heart rate is fine.

You're just talking yourself into a fit.

Yes, I know I'm stressed out of my mind.

I need to calm down, Swain.

All right.

Look, just, um, take one of those.

It should help you sleep.

And, Robert, just try and get a grip, eh?

Easy for you to say.

OK.

[shouts]

What?

There's some bloke in my rack.

What?

It's Oscar.

That's Oscar?

Yeah, from man over board drills.

2 Dads.

Oh, Robert?

Hey, Robert, where's 2 Dads?

You have to address your fears.

2 DADS [VOICEOVER]: That's no way to test it.

You've got to take a dip, total immersion.

It's the only way.

Total immersion, RO.

Total immersion, RO.

You've got to take a dip, total immersion.

Total immersion.

Total immersion, RO.

Total immersion, RO.

You've got to take a dip.

You've got to take a dip.

Total immersion, RO.

Man overboard!

Help!

Man overboard!

Help!

Help!

Man overboard!

Man overboard!

[panting]

I don't want to die.

Breast stroke.

Breast stroke.

Morning, all.

Morning, sir.

Some Intel came through from Coastwatch early this morning.

They spotted another FFV in the area dropping its nets.

Anything on radar?

Nothing for the last few hours.

There's no sign of an ice boat.

OK.

I want RO to get an update on these coordinates.

Where is he?

Bird, you want to go give him a shake.

[knocking]

What?

2 Dads, I need your help.

Did Oscar get some sweet loving, or what?

Yeah, I'm not here for that.

It may not be today or next week,

but I will get you back when you least expect it.

Now, where's Robert?

The boss wants him on the bridge pronto.

I don't know.

Well, he's not in the mess, or the com center, or the galley

either.

2 Dads, you have to help me look for him.

This is unlike Robert.

He wouldn't usually leave this for my prying eyes.

2 Dads?

Oh, no.

So what are you saying, 2 Dads?

No one's seen him at all this morning,

and I think he might have gone over sometime during the night,

sir, but deliberately.

What?

Have you looked for him?

Everywhere, sir.

All right, we're abandoning the search for the ice boat.

Starboard 30.

Starboard 30.

Dutchy, pipe leaving ship stations.

Yes, boss.

What's leaving the ship stations?

It means we do a headcount.

Set up a search and rescue plan

on the nav display systems.

[interposing voices]

XO has the ship.

Yes, ma'am.

Who was the last person to see Robert?

It's probably me, sir.

He woke me up at 0300 for a sleeping tablet,

and I gave him some, but I assumed

he went back to his room.

Sir, I saw him at about 4:15.

I was just coming off guts watch,

and he was in the passageway outside the junior's cabins.

What was he doing?

We spoke briefly, and then he walked off.

Though in hindsight, he did seem in kind of a weird mood.

Well, weirder than usual.

Thanks, Bird.

X, last known datum, 0415.

Yes, sir.

He could have been in the water

for a maximum of two hours.

Charge, after leaving ship stations,

muster all available hands on deck with binos.

Yes, sir.

Sir--

Not now, Bomber, we have to find RO.

I'll advise NAVCOM.

[crying]

You know, you'd be able to see better if you quit blubbering.

Charge, this is all my fault.

How do you figure that?

The letter he was writing, he killed himself because of me.

That's nonsense.

You guys are friends.

Were.

I've been avoiding him lately because he takes

everything I say the wrong way.

Look, we don't even know if it was deliberate,

but if it was, I'd say it had more to do with the rabies.

He would never have had rabies.

He'd be vaccinated.

We know that.

Maybe he convinced himself that he was

going to die a horrible death.

Maybe he thought drowning was a better option.

Oh, poor Robert.

Hey.

Stay awake.

Given the wind and the tidal stream

and the direction and distance traveled

from the last known datum, I have calculated the search

area within these coordinates.

Good work, X. I'll pass this on to NAVCOM

so they can set up a coordinated search with Coastwatch.

Why would RO do something like this?

You know what a closed and strange person he is.

Who really knows what's going on in his head?

But suicidal?

He's been deeply humiliated by Hannibal in the past and maybe

what happened yesterday just tipped him over the edge.

I should have overridden Dutchy's decision

to let him go on the boarding.

He's not aboard, sir.

We've searched everywhere.

So we are looking at a potential suicide.

There is another possible explanation, sir.

Spit it out, Swain.

The sleeping pills I gave him, they were mild,

but they can cause a reaction.

What sort of reaction?

In very rare cases, hallucinations, sleepwalking.

Right.

There's something in the water.

Help!

Help!

Hey.

Hello, Mr. Dixon.

[non-english speech]

Hannibal, I've got to use your radio to call my ship.

You think I'm stupid?

I have fish.

You call boat, Navy come arrest me.

I lose everything.

No way.

You don't understand.

They don't know where I am.

They'll be thinking I'm drowned.

Maybe they throw a party.

Look, just take me to the nearest port to go.

If you take me to Gove, and you can keep your damn fish.

Mr. Dixon, you very demanding individual.

I pick you from ocean.

You no say thank you.

You say give radio.

Take me to Gove.

Kiss my backside.

OK, thank you.

In fact, I'm grateful.

So just let's work out a practical solution, OK?

You pay debt, you go home.

- What? - Very practical.

What debt?

Navy took me in jail three time.

I lose fish, boat, everything gone.

No food for family.

Navy cost me $10,000.

You work.

You steal our fish from our waters.

You're nothing but a common thief.

You want payback from me?

No.

I am Australian Navy, and I am ordering

you to take me to Gove now.

Who is master of this vessel?

You know this question.

I am master of this vessel.

Everybody here must fish.

You Must also fish.

Fat chance.

You know my prisoner.

I own you.

You fish, or I throw you back in ocean.

Sure.

I'll fish.

His eyes were open, but if I'd just woken him up,

then he wouldn't have--

Sir, we've backtracked as far as we've traveled since Bird

last saw the RO, so we are at the furthest edge

of our search area now.

Starboard 30.

Starboard 30.

Let's make another pass through.

X, Dutchy, get the ribs in the water,

increase our lateral search.

Aye, sir.

Yes, boss.

Hang in there. We're going to find him.

Away, sea boat. Away, sea boat.

Too slow, Mr. Dixon.

You very lousy worker.

Navy pig dog should know how to fish.

I can't do this.

You want to eat, you learn.

Not so difficult.

Thanks for that.

You have too easy life in Australia.

Now you see fishermen life.

Hey.

What?

What are you doing?

Ah, what are you doing?

Thank you.

[non-english speech]

What is that?

Food.

You eat.

No, I'm not eating anything that I can't identify.

I'm sorry.

No eat?

No, I don't want to eat.

Give it to the dog.

No eat.

I found these in RO's desk.

Check it out.

So, they're the sleeping tablets Swain gave him.

No wonder he was sleepwalking.

The tosser took three of them.

You're the tosser, 2 Dads.

Instead of playing your stupid practical jokes,

you should have been looking out for him.

You did your best.

Bomber, get these people some scran.

Yes, boss.

I've never lost a man, Kate.

Not like this.

Not in a situation where I feel something could have--

should have been done.

I know.

Everybody's blaming themselves.

But it's my responsibility as captain of this ship.

I have to update NAVCOM.

You think it's my fault that I let Robert go on that boarding?

I'm sorry, Dutchy.

I should've taken responsibility and kicked him off.

I knew he had issues, yeah?

That's exactly why I made the call.

I thought he should confront his demons.

Was that what they told you in counseling?

[snoring]

You kill my dog.

What?

I kill you.

Come on, Hannibal, put the knife down, please?

I didn't kill your dog.

Yeah, you did.

I know.

You kill him.

He's not dead, Hannibal.

He's been growling all night.

Please, just put the knife down.

Please?

Move.

Move.

Move.

Move.

See?

Dead.

Now you die.

Stop it.

I didn't kill your dog.

Look.

Look.

Look.

Your dog was sick.

He had rabies.

Look.

Hannibal, please?

Hannibal, I was bitten by the dog, which means

I probably have the virus.

I need to get to port.

I need to get the proper treatment,

otherwise I'm going to die.

Horribly.

Please?

You are not so valuable.

[non-english speech]

Commander Mike Flynn.

Yeah, hang on.

Go ahead.

Thanks for the heads up.

We'll check it out.

Coastwatch have spotted an FFV in the search area.

Let's take a look and hope they've picked up RO.

Captain has the ship.

Starboard 15, altering 025.

Starboard 15, altering 025.

X, have the boarding party on standby.

Yes, sir.

Hands to boarding station.

Hands to boarding station.

You've been looking into my personal affairs.

As your divisional officer, I'm entitled to.

You're not an easy person to get to know.

Nobody else seems to have that problem.

I'm aware of that.

You reserve your cold shoulder for me.

I went through a full debrief and routine counseling

just like anyone else who's seen active service in the Gulf.

Yeah, and the brass's assessment

is you're as good as gold.

So what else do you want to know about me?

Your file.

It says that you came through the incident

with flying colors.

Yeah, I bet you're just dying to hear the grisly details,

huh? - Now pull your head in.

I don't like the way you make that sound.

It was a routine boarding off Iraq, it when horribly wrong.

Hostage situation.

One of my crew died.

We just heard about the FFV.

Please, God, he's on it.

We're all hoping that, Bomber.

Navy!

They came back.

Rack off, navy pig dog, you no catch me.

I smarter than you.

You no steal my fish.

You no take my boat.

I not go to jail.

I kill you.

I kill you all.

Navy pig dog!

Hannibal, Hannibal, you can't outrun them.

Just-- just heave to.

You can let me go. - No.

No.

I no lose this boat.

I will tell them that you rescued me.

No, You lie.

Oh no.

Throw rocks.

Porcupine out.

Hurry up.

[muffled yelling]

Sit down.

Secured forward, X.

So who's in charge of this vessel?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He's right here.

Yeah.

Wake up.

Are you aware you've been fishing illegally

in Australian waters?

8124903, Leading Seaman Robert Jay Dixon.

How did you get your hands on these?

I'm a radio operator on HMAS Hammersley.

Lost at sea.

OK, I'd like everyone to move over to the railing

and sit down on the deck, please?

Let's go.

Down on the deck.

Thank you.

Here he is.

Tell me you didn't try and kill yourself.

What?

Good to see you, mate.

I can't tell you how grateful we are to have him back.

The CO thanks you for taking these guys to port.

Let us continue our patrol.

Good.

No hard feelings, mate.

You really looked the part.

Yeah.

Welcome home, RO.

Thank you, sir.

Let's get you checked out.

Come on, mate.

Hey, who told you you could stand up?

Sit down, sir.

Shoot me.

Come on.

Sir, I'm not going to ask you again.

Sit down on the deck.

Now.

Calm down, sir.

Settle down, sir.

Settle down. - What's going on?

I don't know, sir.

He just flipped out.

You take my fish, then my boat.

I'm dead man already.

Kill me now.

Hey.

hey, calm down.

[interposing voices]

- 2 Dads. - Sir, settle down.

Secure him in Austere.

Charge, keep the rest of the crew on the boat deck.

Yes, sir.

Medic on Kingston said I was OK.

Yeah, well, he also confirmed Hannibal's dog died of rabies,

so we need to get the vaccine as soon as possible.

It's already been two days.

That's why I need to get the initial vaccine

in the next 24 hours.

Initial?

Five doses given a week apart.

Five needles?

Six actually, there's an immune booster

with the first shot as well.

But I've already organized with Coastwatch

to drop off the vaccine.

We can get started out here.

Not taking any chances.

OK.

That's good.

Thank you, Swain.

Hey, Robert, I just wanted to say

sorry about the sleeping pills.

The chance of a reaction like that are one in a million.

I know, I'm a weirdo.

You're not, mate.

There we go.

Hey, just try and relax, OK?

What the hell was that?

Right.

I'll have to plastic off your ankles as well.

Hey, what are you doing?

Get off him.

Get off him. - Whoa.

What are you doing?

Help me hold his legs down.

You can't just hog tie him.

Why not? He's dangerous.

He needs to be restrained.

Get out.

Get out.

Now.

Oh, Robert becomes human.

How touching.

Fine.

You deal with him.

He's going, Hannibal.

It's me.

Hannibal, listen, I've spoken to the boss,

and I have told him how you rescued me.

I'm sure the judge will take that into consideration.

I'm really sorry about your boat and the fish.

I've got you--

I've got you something to drink.

Come on.

Here.

He's showing all the symptoms.

It's definitely rabies.

We're going to have to sedate him and try and stop

him from hurting himself.

Hannibal, Hannibal, you're sick.

We're going to give you some medication

that'll make you feel better.

Just-- what do you want me to do?

Just try and keep calming him down.

OK, can you breathe?

Can you breathe for me?

Take in a deep-- take in a deep breath.

All hold his arm.

Is that right?

Yes.

Here you go.

A healed dog bite.

RO, I'm gonna try and organize a medevac to get

him airlifted to a hospital.

I need to get Bomber to check the rest of the--

Swain?

When Coastwatch do the drop, give the vaccine to Hannibal.

He obviously needs it more than me, and I got what?

24 hours before I need to take my dose.

By the time you start showing the symptoms,

it's already too late. - What?

It's too late.

No, no, that's crap.

There's got to be something that you can do.

Robert the best we can do is just

try and make him comfortable.

Roger Lima 43, this is Yankee 82.

We have a rib in the water standing by for pick up.

Come on, let's get you prepped in the ward

so you're ready to go when they get back.

Yeah.

I've just got to do something first.

Hannibal, he's, um, he's very sick.

There you see, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[non-english speech] - Hey, it's OK.

It's OK.

RO?

Swain sent me to tell you that Mr. Hannibal passed away.

Robert, you know we would have moved

heaven and earth to give Hannibal

the best possible chance.
