[thunder crashing]

[heavy winds and waves]

This storm doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Sir, a message from Coast Watch.

An EPIRB has been activated in our sector.

We haven't received any mayday calls.

Yes, I did mention that to them, sir.

Got the coordinates?

Sir.

Roger.

FLYNN: Swain, steer 1-1-7.

Let's find this EPIRB.

SWAIN: 1-1-7.

Coast Watch this is Hammersley.

Sir, that is right into the heart of a storm cell.

Message acknowledged.

We're en route to EPIRB coordinates, over.

If it was an easy job, we'd get bored, Right

Coast Watch, this is Hammersley.

Please respond, over.

[radio static]

Sir, I'm having trouble getting through

on the radio due to this.

Permission to power up the 900?

Permission granted.

Thank you, sir.

Coast Watch, this is Hammersley, over.

Coast Watch this is Hammersley, over.

So the X is recommending you for promotion?

That's awesome.

It's not actually.

I'm not sure I'm up for the extra responsibility.

What?

But you so wanted to--

Yeah, be careful what you wish for, eh?

Well, I know what I wish for, and I don't think

I'm going to change my mind.

Pfft.

The EPIRB signal is still 1.5 nautical miles ahead of us.

Depth?

4 decimal one meters, sir.

We're starting to cut it fine.

Sir, I have a visual in the water, green, five, near.

Slow us down, both engines.

Slow us down, both engines.

Well done, Bird.

Deploy the RHIBs, X.

Away sea boats, away sea boats.

This is just surface debris, ma'am.

No sign of the yacht.

Body in the water on my port side!

She's alive?

She's alive, X!

Got her, Dutch?

DUTCHY: Right-o that's it. Relax.

I've got you now.

Ready?

Big breath for me. ready

We got you.

It's OK.

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

You can thank the EPIRB.

It saved your life.

My husband, how you found-- how you found him?

Your husband?

Is your husband out here?

Martin, he was still in the boat, in the yacht.

Well, you husband was on the yacht when you were swept over,

but we heard no mayday.

Well, he wouldn't let me send one.

He smashed the radio so he couldn't send a mayday.

OK, let's get her back to the ship.

[theme music]

Hypothermia was fairly mild.

Temperature's just about back to normal.

You're doing well.

And Martin?

We're still searching for him.

Your boat has almost certainly gone down,

but hopefully Martin was wearing a life jacket.

I can't remember.

When I was drying out your things, I found this.

Is that--

Yeah, that's Martin.

We were married last year.

Lara, you said something when we picked you up.

You told us that Martin smashed the radio.

Did I say that?

Yeah.

Martin was worried about salvage operators.

They scan for maydays.

They're like vultures.

He was worried that if we lost the boat,

they'd take everything.

He didn't want us broadcasting the position.

Ma'am.

Lara, my name is Dylan Mulholland.

We're required by law to warn shipping of potential hazards.

We need to work out roughly where your yacht went down.

Uh-huh.

You were still afloat when the EPIRB was activated?

Yeah, but in the water I lost sight of it very quickly.

Right.

LAURA: Martin put me in a lifeboat

and activated the EPIRB.

I'm not much help.

Sorry.

Think she's telling us everything?

She's been through an ordeal and she's

worried about her husband, which reminds me.

We have to send this photo through to NAVCOM.

Is that her husband?

Great catch.

You can't help who you fall in love with.

Yes, you can.

Swain, this is Lara's things.

Lara, here's my number.

Call me if you need anything.

OK, thanks.

Good luck.

Patient's ready for transfer now, over.

MEDEVAC [ON COMM]: Ready to receive, over.

Launch the RHIB, Charge.

Yes, sir.

I was monitoring that transmission.

Shouldn't happen. - What?

Interference on the local signal.

Newcastle's what?

100 yards away?

Shouldn't be happening.

X [ON COMM]: Stand by to retrieve sea boat.

Recommence search path for missing yacht.

Search area three completed.

Negative result. Moving to area four.

Area five, no sign of the missing yachtie.

RO, is this really necessary?

Yes, it is.

Mate, I could check the hardware in COMCEN, yeah?

Unnecessary!

RO, under the circumstances the angle--

2Dads, the angle of the antenna can affect

signal strength, so just do it.

2Dads, I can't find the left-handed screwdriver.

Keep looking, Bird. It's in the tool box.

I told you.

It looks like this.

It's just a left-handed one.

OK.

What's he doing out there, anyway?

His job.

X [ON COMM]: Area seven, search completed.

Anything to report?

No sign of the missing man, sir.

So our chances are now looking pretty slim.

Yeah, it seems that way.

Thanks.

We are making one last pass through the search area where

we calculated the vessel sunk.

Sir, there's a salvage vessel close to those original EPIRB

coordinates.

And it looks like they've got visitors.

I know this bloke.

The boat's name is the Rioli, the salvager's name

is Alby Dumas.

He's got a reputation for cutting corners.

What's worse, he's ex-Navy.

Clearance diver in Vietnam.

Even won a bravery award.

Didn't do anything for his personality.

X: 2Dads, make sure your camera's recording.

2DADS: The red button is on, X.

Get off my boat!

It's my brother's yacht!

Get off!

X: Hey!

Keep it, pal!

Get off my boat, you maggots!

Who do you think you are?

It looks like the satellite--

X: Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

What are you doing here?

You're an animal!

Hey!

Put that down.

Is it?

This one is--

Hey!

Which one of you is Alby Dumas?

The good-looking one!

I'm Lieutenant McGregor from HMAS Hammersley.

Well, do your job and get these trespassers off my boat!

He's got no right to be here!

I located a sunken yacht, it's in shallow water,

it's mine pal!

This animal is diving on a gravesite.

OK, what is your interest in this?

The missing sailor?

Yeah, his name is Martin Strauss.

Well, I'm his brother Karl Strauss.

Yeah, I'm Johan.

I'm doing everything by the book here.

I found an abandoned yacht, and I filed a claim.

- You're a vulture, mate. - Right.

All right.

The police and the coroner are both

going to need to be involved if there is a body in the water.

I checked. There's no body.

There's very little of anything down here.

Get him out of here. - All right, sir.

You are not welcome on this boat.

If you would like to get back on your vessel.

And what's he already taken?

We are going to try and ascertain that,

if you will just be patient.

Can you please get back on your vessel?

Get him over there.

Yeah, everybody right back at the boat, please.

In the back of the boat. - The back of the boat.

- Back to the boat. - Yeah, thank you.

Stay there.

Lara?

What are you doing out here?

[weakly] Hi.

- Are you feeling OK? - I'm fine.

Look, sorry.

My sister-in-law is going through an awful lot.

If you just--

Yeah, I'm just surprised to see

her out of hospital so soon.

Oh, she's just anxious about her husband is all.

Yeah, but surely spending one more night in hospital would've

been much better for her than--

[weakly] I'm feeling--

Hey, X?

Yeah, Dutchy, go ahead.

Got Alby to agree to hand over any items

he finds the next of kin.

Good, that might help.

You know, guys, they're well within their rights

if they want to try and stop him diving.

Well, he maintains there's nothing

worth salvaging down there.

Thanks, Dutchy.

So you're going to arrest them or you're too gutless?

RO [ON COMM]: Hammersley, Dutchy.

Receiving, go ahead.

RO [ON COMM]: Alby Dumas has logged the appropriate claim

with the authorities, but he's supposed

to wait until the police authorization comes through.

Copy that.

Thanks, Robert.

What's with him?

First he wants to stay, now he's gone.

And you're going too, sir.

I acknowledge you have a permit, but you cannot dive until

the police have checked over the site

and given it the all-clear.

Is that understood?

Yeah, thanks for this.

2Dads couldn't sort it out.

If the search for that missing man hadn't been called off,

I would be out there with underperforming equipment.

Does that have very often?

[phone ringing]

Gutter humor.

OK, signal strength is unacceptable.

I think it's something to do with the antennas.

Hello, Kate McGregor speaking.

Yes, Lara.

OK, can you slow down?

You're not making sense.

Yes, the search for your husband has been called off.

If you need to talk--

yeah, OK.

Why don't-- yeah, why don't I come and meet you?

Yeah, all right.

I'll meet you there.

All right.

And--

What's going on?

You're going to meet her?

Do you want me to come?

I don't know if you've noticed,

but you can come across at times as a little intimidating.

Me?

Hmm.

No.

Yeah, I better go alone.

You stay.

Woof.

Lara?

Lara?

What are you doing here?

My husband.

We bought this boat shed together.

You can't stop the search.

You must keep looking for Martin!

Lara, it's an official decision.

I can't--

Please!

He's still out there somewhere, and that man,

that salvage man--

Alby?

He's in danger.

Who from?

Lara, what's wrong?

What are you afraid of?

Listen, if you are in trouble, I can help you.

No.

Lara!

[scream]

[gunshot]

Dutchy!

Quick!

Side door!

Yo!

Let's get the hell out of here!

Hey!

Lara!

Hey!

What are you going to say to the feds?

We never even got a good look at them.

Just tell them what I know, I guess.

I gave you an order not to follow me.

No you didn't.

I did.

That was more of a suggestion.

Oh!

Have you tried Lara's number, the one she called you from?

No.

OPERATOR: We regret that the number you have dialed

is connected or unavailable.

Great.

And she said that Alby Dumas was in danger.

She was clearly terrified.

Is the radio working, Robert?

Sir, I still got to do some tests,

but I'm happy with the signal quality.

Excellent.

Did you radio the salvage operator?

Yes, ma'am.

I did, ma'am.

And there was no static or interference, so it was good.

But what did he actually say?

Oh, no.

He didn't respond.

So he didn't respond because he didn't get the message?

Why, I can't say.

But the signal was perfect, so it puts my mind at rest.

What?

Try him again.

12 hours shore leave?

Me too.

Come over to mine for dinner.

Better not.

Things might get out of hand.

Come on, we're both mature adults.

We can control ourselves.

Speak for yourself.

I can control myself.

You sure about that?

OK, we better not tempt fate.

I'll see you in the morning.

I'm such a loser!

[knocking]

Hi.

Um, I was just about to get in the shower.

Don't let me stop you.

I don't even like you.

I hate you too.

You're so not a loser.

[phone rings]

[phone beeps]

Shore leave's canceled.

BOTH: [sigh in disappointment]

We've got to get back to the ship.

Let's not arrive together.

BOMBER: I've still got nothing, Swain.

Well, these are the coordinates.

I thought he'd still be hanging around.

He did say there wasn't much left to salvage.

Uh, radar contact, bearing 3-4-0,

range 10 nautical miles, ma'am.

Sir, this just in from Coast Watch.

They spotted Alby Dumas' vessel, the Rioli.

It's roughly nine nautical miles north,

and it is traveling at eight knots.

Have you been trying to raise him?

Every eight minutes.

Still no response.

He must have turned his transponder off.

Couldn't with that intel.

This must be him, but ship's details

aren't coming up on radar.

All right.

Let's intercept.

MV Rioli, this is Australian warship Hammersley, over.

Hammersley to Rioli, are you reading me?

Over.

Oh, this guy's a pain.

What's he playing at?

He can't-- I mean, he's not faster than us, is he?

Not by a long shot.

So is he just messing with us?

Well, let's find out.

Get a RHIB in the water.

[comm pings]

Where do you think you're going?

What? Robert heard a noise.

Thought that was all fixed.

You thought wrong, X.

X: Well, you can sort it out later.

Get your kit on.

You're coming with us.

Yes!

FLYNN: MV Rioli, this is Australian warship Hammersley,

you either stop or heave to.

We intend to board you to enforce

Australian Maritime law.

X: Hey, Dutchy!

You go up first, just in case Alby

makes a smart-mouth comment.

I might do something inappropriate.

DUTCHY: Yeah, right.

And I'm going to be Mr. Squeaky Clean.

Dumas!

Alby!

Check the wheelhouse, Swain.

Mr. Dumas!

Hello?

Alby!

X, sea boat's on autopilot.

X: Alby!

Is he there?

Is he going to give us any more lip?

Not anymore.

I was just out here thinking.

Oh, no.

What?

You have that look on your face again.

Last time you had that look, you got yourself into trouble.

No, it's not like that.

I was wondering.

About?

What is so important about that boat?

You think it's all about the sunken yacht?

Well, that's where it all started.

And so, I was just--

Wondering?

Yes, wondering.

It's not that deep out there.

What would I find if I went snorkeling?

Do we have time?

We?

Yeah.

We've got four hours.

Shall we?

X, sorry.

NAVCOM want a report from both of us.

What shoddy workmanship.

It was working when you left port.

It's not working now, is it?

You broke it?

You didn't fix it properly in the first place,

and I want it fixed now!

You've got four hours.

You're setting time limits now?

That's how long we're in port for.

Get me off this boat!

When I met with Lara, she told us that he was in danger,

and that is why we followed it up.

Even though it's technically a federal police matter?

Here we are.

All right.

The determined that the shed where you met Lara,

was indeed purchased by her husband only a month earlier.

Now, Lara was released from hospital

into the care of her brother-in-law, Karl Strauss,

but the address he gave turns out

to be a pet shop in Mooroobool.

It seems like everyone's giving out false information.

The feds will look for Lara and chase Karl Strauss.

We can put this to bed and get back to our real work.

[phone ringing]

- Where are you going? - We finished.

We're going home.

No, I have to do some tests first.

OK, hang on--

I need to make sure that the work has

been done to my satisfaction.

OK, you're sailing soon.

You wait here or you can watch and learn.

[scoffs] Is he always like this?

This is a good day.

Well, I feel sorry for you.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

You ready to sail?

Whole ship's company present, sir, except for Dutchy.

Where is he?

I've got no idea.

He went to look at over sunken yacht.

That was four hours ago.

I'll get permission from NAVCOM to sail without him.

Sir.

Seems to be empty, sir.

Dutchy was in that?

Yeah, we were going out together to take a look around.

FLYNN: We?

Well, I was going to go with him, and then you call me away.

Just surprised that he went out on his own, that's all.

Dutchy?

He's not there.

He's not on board.

There's no-one on board, X.

Over there!

Man in the water!

Sir?

Green, 4-5 degrees.

Take us in slow.

Dutchy?

SWAIN: Dutchy?

Oh, wow, he's injured.

Wait, wait.

[stutters] Watch it!

He's here.

X: Is he all right?

SWAIN: No.

No, X. Count of three.

One, two, three!

I got caught up in the wreck.

He's injured, X.

Just set him down nicely.

X: Dutchy.

SWAIN: Oh, that's nasty.

Oh, no, Swain!

Let's go!

X: Dutchy? Hey, Dutchy!

Swain, he's out!

He's out!

Hang in there, mate.

Hang in there.

X: Dutchy?

I feel like an idiot.

Such a stupid accident.

OK, mate.

This should keep the pain at an acceptable level.

Acceptable to me or you?

There you go.

You should start to feel better.

Let's get the rest of his wet suit off, eh?

What's that?

Is that real?

FLYNN: What have you found out, RO?

Sir, they managed to trace the gold bar

by using the serial number and the goldmark.

It was part of a shipment that was hijacked in the Indian

Ocean about a month ago.

There you go.

Thanks, Swain.

[knocking]

Here you go.

Oh, Bomber, you're a rock star!

It's only tea, Dutchy.

Oh.

Dutchy, the photos from your camera,

we've had Robert print them up.

Oh, great.

Yeah.

Look, see, there had to be an inflatable with that boat.

You see that section of the guard rail there?

See the canvas cover?

It's the type used to cover an outboard engine, see?

Yeah, and the mounting block is there.

There was no engine near the boat.

Alby could have salvaged it.

No, but see how the canvas cover

is tied to the guard rail?

That means whoever used that outboard had to have removed

it before the yacht sank.

So why wasn't Lara in an inflatable?

So we're thinking Martin and Lara were part of the gang that

did this robbery.

Probably.

And then Martin got greedy, took the gold,

and went off in his yacht.

And that's why Karl was so upset to find a salvage operator

poking around the wreck.

They probably thought Alby recovered the gold.

That's why they killed him.

But did Alby actually get the gold?

Or had Martin already got away with it before the yacht sank?

Now, given the storm surge on that day,

if he did get away in the inflatable,

he might've made it to here.

It is the only island in that direction.

Prevailing winds and currents wouldn't have allowed

him to go any other way.

What do you think?

Now, guys, if you want to lose your boarding jackets,

go ahead.

Keep your Kevlar on.

Take 2Dads and Swain.

I want you to head north along the beach.

Bomber with me.

We'll head inland.

I want you to stay in radio contact.

If you see anything, you call it in.

You really expect to find anything?

Well, it's a long shot.

OK, looking for a needle in a haystack.

Sir, what are we looking for?

Any sign that someone's been through here recently.

Footprints count?

Yeah, looks like there's been some traffic through here.

This way.

X!

What's Lara doing here?

I think her friends are thinking the same things as us.

Sit down!

Well, they don't look like her friends, X.

Hammersley, this is X-ray 0-2, over.

[static]

RO was having trouble with the radio.

Not now!

Hammersley, do you read me?

Over.

Just relax, sir.

Don't move.

Don't say anything.

On your knees!

Oh, you don't like that.

You don't mind doing it to someone else.

We're here to help you.

OK.

X-ray, 0-2, this is Hammersley.

Radio check, over.

Charge?

Mm-hmm?

Yeah, thanks.

Sir?

It should have been fixed.

Is it definitely just a radio problem?

Well, there's no way to tell conclusively.

Get a second shore party standing by, just in case.

Roger that.

We've located Lara and apprehended

one of the suspects.

We're just taking them back to the RHIB now.

Where are you?

SWAIN [ON RADIO]: Ma'am we've been following the coast

all the way around the island.

We're probably a mile away.

Avoid contact with any of the suspects.

They're armed.

SWAIN [ON RADIO]: Understood.

Oh, and Swain, for some reason we can't

make contact with Hammersley.

For now, we're on our own.

SWAIN [ON RADIO]: Yeah, I heard ma'am.

I'm sorry.

We know about the gold, Lara.

Martin always was greedy.

He wasn't happy with our share.

So he stole from them and you had the gold on the yacht?

That's why Martin didn't want me to mayday during the storm.

They would have found us.

Do you think that Martin's alive?

The last I saw him, he was loading

gold into the inflatable.

He said he'd come back for me, but we didn't think

the yacht would sink so fast.

Why did you find me?

I-- I escaped from Karl and I called you to warn you.

Now I realize they probably let me escape

and followed me, hoping I'd lead them to Martin.

If Martin is alive, do you think he'll come back for you?

Of course.

He loves me.

Hey!

It's Lara's husband!

Get him!

Hey! wait!

You chase him.

I'll cut him off.

Stop!

Wait!

Hey, Martin, stop running!

Stop running!

You can't get away from us!

Stop struggling, mate, or I'll break your bloody neck.

Stop it!

Stop it!

I'll break your bloody neck!

I've been running from cops my whole life, mate,

and you think you've got a chance?

Look what we have here!

Bars of gold!

Keep moving.

Swain, you won't believe what I found, mate.

What's wrong.

Hello, mate.

Drop it.

Long time no see, matey.

X-ray, 0-2, this is Hammersley, over.

Sir, I've checked everything.

I can't isolate the problem.

It's driving me nuts.

Sometimes it works!

Sometimes it doesn't!

Charge, get the second RHIB over to the island.

Sir.

Full tactical gear.

We can't take the chance.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing up here?

Feeling better, sir.

I'd like to go on the shore party, sir.

Sure you're up to it?

They need me.

No heroics, understood?

Good to go, sir.

Carry on.

This is Karl.

Are you reading me?

Come in, can you hear me?

Crap!

I'm not getting any response from the camp site.

Might be more Navy on the island.

Come on, move it you two!

Come on!

This is Karl.

Come in.

Come in.

What are you doing here?

I got better.

All right.

The suspects are here.

I believe there's three of them.

We've already apprehended this man.

Bomber, get him back to Hammersley.

Is your radio down?

Yeah, I can't get through to Hammersley

and I can't raise Swain.

- You could before? - Yeah.

CHARGE: Whatever's happening on the Hammersley,

you should still be able to contact Swain,

unless he's out of range?

Which way did you send him?

North along the beach.

Charge?

We'll meet you there.

OK.

Go in the second RHIB.

[static]

Charge to Swain, come in.

Hold your fire!

Don't drop the gold!

Come on!

Get up!

Come on, man. It's over.

You're never going to get away. - Idiot, mate!

Who's got all the hostages?

Put your hands behind your heads.

It's hopeless, Karl.

It's over.

For god's sake, give it up.

You're a traitor!

Karl Strauss.

If you don't leave immediately.

I'll kill these men.

You have two of our people. We're not leaving.

I'm serious!

Did you hear what I said?

Consider your position.

Why should I?

I'm holding all the cards.

DUTCHY: No, you're not!

- Get down! - I got it.

I got it! - Man on the ground!

Drop your weapon!

On your knees! - Man on the ground!

Don't shoot!

Now, on your knees.

I'll take that!

You, hands behind your back, now!

Do it Do it!

That's stupid.

Hands behind your head.

Good work, Swain.

You made good time.

Jogged all the way.

Dutchy are you all right?

I don't feel so good.

Dutchy?

Dutchy!

Dutchy, can you hear me?

Hey, Dutchy?

Dutchy!

Swain, Swain!

Dutchy, I need you to stay with me.

Pardon me, sir.

Martin?

Lara!

Darling!

Has he mentioned me at all?

No.

Did he even ask if I was alive.

I love you.

I--

You liar!

You were never coming back!

Lara!

Take her through to the journey sailor's mess.

Keep an eye on her. - Sir.

[knocking]

Yeah?

How's the patient?

Well, his bleeding stopped.

He'll get over it.

He's strong.

Can I talk to him?

Sure, but I've just pumped him full of pethidine,

so he might not make much sense.

Hello, how are you feeling?

Hey!

I'm floating!

Well, that's great.

And do you want to explain why you

came ashore in that condition?

I mean, what were you thinking.

You're an angel.

Dutchy I--

You're an amazing woman.

- Pethidine, ma'am. - Yeah?

He won't remember a thing in the morning.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Come here.

No, no.

You rest up, big fella.

Where are you going?

Cup of tea.

Oh!

I'll come back and check on you in a minute, Lara.

Are you hurt?

Guess I'm not bullet proof after all.

Oh, can you--

Swain--

I trust you know why you're here?

I have to ask, is there a sexual relationship

going on between you?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, there is.

It only just happened.

You know the regulations.

You can't help who you fall in love with.

Yes, you can.

And to make matters worse, you brought it onto the boat.

That I can't overlook.

One or both of you will have to post off.

I will, sir.

It was my fault. 2Dads wanted to observe the rules

and I encouraged him otherwise.

Bomber, you realize that this will affect your promotion?

Stuff it.

I don't care.

I don't want to sign up again, anyway.

Very well, Bomber.

When we get back to port, I'll arrange for your transfer.

It may take a couple of weeks.

Thank you, sir.

In the meantime, you'll continue with your duties

in strict observance of the rules.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I'm very disappointed in you both.

Dismissed.

I can't help feeling slightly hypocritical about this.

The difference is they brought it on the boat.

Bomber!
