Kunta Kinte on my port bow, about this Australian warship

Hammersley.

You are to stop or heave to, we intend to board you.

They're ignoring us, sir.

No sign of anyone, sir.

If it is an illegal entry vessel,

they're keeping their heads down.

Sir, intelligence team from NAVCOM.

The Kunta Kinte is associated with a known people

smuggling outfit.

Pipe boarding stations, RO.

2 Dads, Dutchy, take the wheelhouse.

Swain, you come with me.

Roger.

Australian navy, if there was anyone on board,

come up on deck with your hands in the air.

Hello?

DUTCHY [ON RADIO]: X, the helm was just tied on.

Copy that.

Looks like they just abandoned the ship.

Yeah, take a look around.

Drugs, weapons, whatever.

Take a look at this.

Why'd you have a Geiger counter on a SIEV?

[beeping]

Guess that answers that question.

Can I have look, then?

It's more than normal background radiation,

but not enough to be dangerous.

It's getting stronger over here.

[crackling and beeping]

Swain?

Yeah?

Ma'am, these men have been fried.

Poor bastards.

[theme music]

[gunshot]

[gunfire]

[gunshots]

[explosion]

Got him?

Yeah.

Lets get these IVs in properly,

be able to give him some Maxolon for the nausea,

and some morphine for the pain.

Swain, are they gonna make it?

No.

No, we're just keeping them comfortable.

Swain, we need to talk to them.

All right.

Better make it quick, though.

Sir, you are on an Australian navy ship.

You are being looked after by our medic.

You've been exposed to some radioactive material.

We need to find out where it is.

Do you understand?

Well, they admitted to being people smugglers on a run

to Australian waters.

Who were their passengers?

A couple of men they picked up from the foreign port who

had with them two extremely heavy suitcases.

Lead lined?

We assume so.

Containing what?

They assumed the cases were containing money.

That's why the passengers were being so protective of them.

So at night when they're asleep, they opened them.

And they were very disappointed

when they found nothing of value,

just a lot of metal rods.

Hot rods.

Where are these passengers and their luggage now?

Well, they were taken to a specific coordinate

where they transferred to another vessel.

Did you get a description?

Nothing conclusive.

It was night.

Our people smugglers headed for home.

Several hours later began to feel unwell.

And we've got no idea where this other vessel went?

Just the woman I wanted to see.

Rubbish.

I'll bet you are here for some terrorist related reason.

I need to talk to you.

Well, now I am curious.

What is it?

Kate.

When I was younger, my grandmother

said to me once, one day you'll find

a woman you're willing to change your life for.

She gave me this before she died.

It's her engagement ring.

I want to give it to you.

I know this might seem a little bit out of the blue,

but I love you with all my heart.

I want to marry you.

I-- I wasn't expecting this.

I know what I want, Kate.

It's you.

Think about it.

I will.

Think about it.

Jim, I will think about it.

What a horrible way to die.

Radiation sickness, man.

There's nothing you can do.

The results of their preliminary autopsy

reveal your people smugglers died of cesium poisoning.

Cesium?

Cesium 137.

It's a radioactive isotope.

It's a principal source of radiation around the Chernobyl

nuclear power plant.

ASIO believes a terrorist cell we've been pursuing

has been smuggling the cesium into the country.

Obviously with some dangerous scenario in mind.

We have orders to sail in search of the vessel

it was transferred to.

If you find that vessel, it should

appear like a routine boarding.

Hopefully we can persuade whoever's

on board to give up their mates before they

ever chance to use this stuff.

When we find this cesium, we need to protect our crew.

Therefore, for the duration of the operation

I think we should issue every member of the crew

with these PRD--

personal radiation device.

You just clip it to your belt, put in your pocket,

and it automatically detects hazardous levels of radiation.

What's this stay time?

That's the amount of time you can

remain in the contaminated area before you

cop a dangerous dose.

OK.

Let's get on with it.

Here you go.

Thanks.

We're friends, right?

Yes.

So what's the story with you and Captain Ross?

We are in a relationship.

Really?

Mm-hm.

How serious?

Well, he's proposed.

What?

What did you--

I said that I would think about it.

I mean there's a history there that's--

MIKE [ON PA]: XO to the bridge, XO to the bridge.

I'm still working.

X, we've spotted a possible FFV.

I want to board it.

Yes, sir.

I think we should ignore it.

These boardings can become prolonged.

Means valuable time away for the hunt for the cesium.

With all due respect, Miss Cruise,

I was the commander of this ship last time I looked.

And in my view, every vessel is a potential suspect.

XO: Hands to boarding stations, hands to boarding stations,

hands to boarding stations.

Check damage control, straight through condition voyage.

Australian navy, we order you to stop or heave to.

We intend to board you.

It's going full clip, X.

[gunfire]

Whoa!

XO: Return fire!

[gunfire]

OK, get us out of here!

Sir, we are encountering heavy resistance.

Request disabling fire, over.

Roger that, X. Standby.

Charge, typhoon.

Yes, sir.

RO, make the call.

Yes, sir.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: X, hold your position.

XO: Copy that, sir.

This is Australian warship Hammersley.

You either stop or heave to, or we will fire upon you.

They're not going to stop.

Three rounds across the bow.

Aim and target.

Engage.

[typhoon shots]

Told you they weren't going to stop.

Can you take out their engine?

Aye, sir.

Do it.

Aim and target.

Engage.

[typhoon shots]

2 DADS: Whoa, nice shooting, big buddy.

MIKE: Well done, Charge.

XO: Swain and Dutchy, move forward.

Port side.

We'll cover your back.

[gunfire]

2 Dads, we're going to board starboard.

Cover us!

[gunfire]

Go, go, go, go, go!

[gunfire]

Standby to cover.

[gunfire]

Cover!

Cover me!

[gunfire]

What's going on, X?

XO: They're putting up a hell of a fight, sir.

[gunfire]

DUTCHY: Swain?

Yeah?

DUTCHY: Cover me!

Go!

[gunfire]

SWAIN: Dutchy, you OK?

DUTCHY: I'm good, I'm good!

[gunfire]

Upper deck clear, X.

SWAIN: Lower deck clear.

They certainly weren't fishermen, X.

Yeah.

These people put up an almighty fight for something.

Let's search below.

Roger.

Semtex explosive.

XO [ON RADIO]: Sir, I think we've just found

what they've been protecting.

Sizable cache of Semtex.

OK, but I'd rather you found the cesium.

Don't you get it?

It's connected.

Cesium and Semtex are the ingredients for a dirty bomb.

Cesium and Semtex.

What exactly is a dirty bomb, Charge?

Basically it's a bomb made out of radioactive material

and conventional explosives.

It is too much of a coincidence

to be a coincidence.

I think this is worth checking out.

Well, we can't interrogate anyone.

Boss, I got an idea.

2 Dads?

That FFE had a GPS on it.

I can remove it, and if it's not all shot up,

RO might be able to pull some data off it.

A long shot.

But check it out.

We're changing directions.

Yes.

OK.

Well, they're heading east now.

OK.

Got to go.

Boss sent me to fetch you.

Looks like his hunch was correct.

Oh?

RO retrieved a deleted coordinate off the GPS.

Well, we'd better go in, then.

Madelaine, I apologize.

For being a prick?

For misjudging you.

All right, for being a prick.

That's a big admission.

I blew it.

Yes.

Yes, you did.

Just when things started to get interesting.

The coordinate indicates position just

up this mangrove estuary here, and

this whole section of coastline is

only accessible via small boat.

All right, mark it on the MDS, X. Swain,

let's steam for this position.

Sir.

The XO and Dutchy will lead the two rib parties.

Jim, Charge, and Robert with the X,

Swain, 2 Dads, and Bird with Dutchy.

XO: Sir.

At this stage you are just to recce the area.

But we might get lucky, so stay alert.

That's all.

Sir?

What is it, Dutchy?

You've assigned Captain Roth to the X's party, sir?

Yes.

I'm not sure if I should mention this,

but I think it may affect operational decisions.

Well, if it does, you've got a responsibility to spit it out.

He's asked her to marry him, sir.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

However, he is a highly capable field operative.

In this instance I think it's the appropriate course

of action. Carry on.

Very good, sir.

Let's go.

Red 2-5.

ROTH: Oh, yeah.

Looks like a derelict fishing hut.

Hey, Dutchy.

My red 2-5 is a derelict fishing hut.

Copy that, ma'am, I see it.

We'll take both RHIB parties in.

DUTCHY: Red 2-5--

Search the hut.

DUTCHY: OK, everybody.

Tool up.

XO: Sir, we are in position.

We're surrounding the hut, over.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Any sign of activity, X?

Yes sir, there has been recent movement.

There are multiple footprints in the mud, over.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Dutchy, what have you got?

DUTCHY: Negative on the visual, sir.

I can't see the inside from my position.

If they're in there, we can stop this whole thing

with one decisive move.

Sir, request permission to move on the hut, over?

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Proceed with caution, X.

Dutchy.

We're gonna move in.

Need you to cover us from the rear.

Over.

Roger, X.

[breaking windows]

XO: Sir, put the gun down.

You are surrounded with no--

[gunshot]

X?

Information on Sydney Harbor's tidal times and prevailing wind

conditions over the coming week.

And a map of navy headquarters.

And no cesium.

No.

But it had definitely been there.

According to our PRDs, there was radiation present.

And Swain confirmed that the man we found had radiation burns.

You obviously just missed them.

Maybe they took off because the Semtex never arrived.

A dirty bomb attack on an Australian military target.

Well, it's not going to happen.

We're resuming the search for the cesium.

Can NAVCOM deploy any more assets?

Everything available.

Sir, I'm picking up a communication from RAAF

on a secure frequency.

They've spotted a cruiser heading northwest.

Get the coordinates, RO. RO: Sir.

We switch over.

Yes, ma'am.

5 1 7, this is HMAS Hammersley, what's his position, over?

MAN [ON RADIO]: 18 degrees, 1.89 south, 0.47 degrees 4 1.

2 1 east on a heading of 3 2 7.

Sir, that position is right near the coordinate

where we intercepted the FFE with the Semtex.

They're looking for a rendezvous.

Swain, take us there with all dispatch.

It's on a bearing of red 1 0, traveling at 15 knots, sir.

Sir, I've got a visual.

X, prepare for a snatch boarding.

Sir.

Hey.

Be careful, huh?

I think she can handle it, captain.

Let's go.

Australian navy, put your hands where we can see them.

What is going on?

Are you the master the vessel, sir?

Yes.

How many persons do you have on board?

Just four, including myself.

2 Dads, cut the engine.

Dutchy, muster the crew.

Roger.

What are you doing out here?

We're on a fishing expedition out of Cairns.

Sir, the crew claim to be out here fishing.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Copy that.

Search the boat, X.

Dutchy, with me.

Hey, hey, what are you doing!

Take your hand off her!

This a legitimate charter.

We are entitled to search this vessel in accordance

with Australian customs regulations, sir.

You can accompany us if you wish.

Dutchy?

Watch yourself.

[beeping]

[beeping intensifies]

Lift it up.

Lift it up!

Do it.

[steady beep]

50 millisieverts.

Sir, we found the cesium.

Hey!

Drop the gun.

Send the prisoners back to Hammersley

with Swain and 2 Dads.

I want you and Dutchy to stay in the cruiser back to base.

XO [ON RADIO]: Roger that, sir.

What's the radiation level there?

The cesium is well insulated.

Swain says they're safe as long as they remain on deck.

Congratulations, Mike.

That's an end to the dirty bomb threat.

Madelaine is satisfied, the operation is a success.

There's just one loose end we need to tie up.

Loose end?

The serial number on the Semtex you seized earlier

marked it as stolen from a West Australian mining company.

So what's the problem?

The concerning issue is only half of it's

been accounted for.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Could they have dumped

the remainder of the Semtex before you boarded?

I doubt that, sir.

But--

What is it, X?

The men in the fishing shack, sir.

He had severe radiation burns.

Do you think it's possible that we've

only found half the cesium?

And they've already made a bomb?

I insist on interrogating the suspects

about the missing Semtex.

I'll only agree to that if Swain is present.

This is top secret information.

A leak could jeopardize the capture

of the rest of the terrorists.

And I've explained to you before, I will have

no torture aboard this ship.

I'll make a concession.

Captain Roth won't be there, either.

But I insist on talking to the suspects alone.

You think that's wise?

The prisoners will be well secured.

Commander?

All right.

Thank you.

Swain, guard the door.

Yes, sir.

Charge, pull up Austere.

Sir.

Bird, I want you to watch that like a hawk.

Yes, sir.

Why Bird?

Women are naturally more observant,

particularly in body language.

And since we can't hear what's going on--

Speaking of which, sir.

The X radioed through to say that she noted

from its paperwork that the cruiser's owned by a Cairns

based boat-hire company.

Which were?

Vagabond Boat Hire.

Sir?

Miss Crew seems to be all done.

That was quick.

Well?

I'm satisfied there's no other bomb.

Did you hear any yelling and screaming go on in there?

Nothing.

A guess she's the silent lethal type.

MIKE [ON RADIO]: Madelaine believes that we've

recovered all the cesium.

XO [ON RADIO]: Copy that, sir.

I'd love to know exactly how she got that information.

Trade secret, I guess.

Yeah.

Yeah, I get the impression that the boss

gave us this steaming party to keep me off the ship.

Yeah.

I may have let the cat out of the bag about--

Why on earth would you do that?

He's our commanding officer, Kate.

He deserved a heads up.

And also because I knew you had feelings for each other.

His career is really important to him,

and I pulled the pin because I didn't

want to get in the way of that.

I don't think it's fair to force him to make a choice.

So you chose for him.

How'd it go?

Oh, we handed the cruiser over to feds and customs, sir.

They've scanned us for contamination,

give us the all clear.

That's good.

X, can I have a word, please?

Sure.

You have time for a drink this evening?

I have something on tonight, I'm sorry.

OK, quick coffee, then?

Is it true?

Yes.

Dutchy shouldn't have said anything before I did.

Don't you think I have a right to know?

As CO of the ship.

As CO of the ship, of course.

And I would've told you once I'd had time to consider it.

Are you considering it?

Yes, I'm seriously thinking about it.

I see.

That looks great.

Thanks.

And when is the wedding?

Didn't think you'd come.

Well, you were quite insistent.

Glass of sparkling, please.

We deserve to celebrate, don't we?

Yeah.

So are you going to let me in on your incredible interrogation

technique?

Let's save that for later.

You should at least buy me dinner first.

[beeping]

So what did ASIO have to say about the Vagabond Boat Hire?

I hope you're not going to be boringly obsessed about work

all evening. - But you passed on the info?

You questioning mind integrity again?

[beeping]

What's with all the text messages?

I can't do this.

I can't be with someone who's constantly

second guessing my every move.

It's my job.

OK?

Now who's boringly obsessed with work?

Boss.

Hey.

Want some company?

Nothing of interest, she said.

I just felt like she was brushing me off.

I mean, did she even pass on the info?

Don't worry about it, Dutchy.

It's out of our hands now.

Like many things.

Yeah.

Women, eh?

They have these expectations.

But you never really know what's going on in their heads.

Kate broke it off with you because she was

trying to protect your career.

Eh?

I'm speaking to you man to man, boss.

My career?

Yeah.

She seems to think that's the most

important thing in your life.

There were two boats hired by the same person.

The one we impounded yesterday, the second one

was called the Other Plans.

So the terrorists have another boat still out there?

Yeah.

And the owner said he was never contacted by anyone from ASIO.

Madeleine never passed the intel on?

Yeah, so she stuffed that up.

And maybe she's also wrong about the existence of a second bomb.

Hang on, Dutchy, that's a big leap.

Think about it, boss.

Those guys, they put up almost no resistance

when we found that cesium. Why?

Because they already knew that they had a second bomb

on the other boat. Waiting to go.

Then why haven't they struck?

Because they're waiting for us to relax.

We think we've got them, and then--

They could be on their way to Sydney as we speak.

MAXINE: We are taking this very seriously, Mike.

I've issued a general alert for the MV Other Plans,

and I'm mobilizing a joint task force to scour coastal waters

south all the way to Sydney.

This is the single biggest threat to our national security

since the bombing of Darwin.

I want you out there, too.

Madelaine Cruise and Jim Roth will be joining you.

[knocking]

What are you doing here?

Come to apologize.

Again.

Dutchy, if you can't handle my job, then--

No, I can.

Let me convince you.

Sir, we have to turn the ship around now.

Target's not Sydney.

They headed for Cairns Naval base.

And I think Madelaine's in on it.

I think Madeleine has been playing

one side against the other for the highest bidder.

There must have been questions about her activities.

All of which she's had answers to.

Besides, we don't have any proof.

What about the text messages on her phone?

I'm sure she'll have an explanation for that, too.

We'll deal with her later.

Let's concentrate on finding this boat.

MADELAINE: Captain?

Why have we turned around?

We've been ordered to return to Cairns.

We're supposed to be looking for a terrorist boat.

Sir, we have an approaching vessel on our direct bearing.

It's heading towards Cairns Port

That's a small pleasure cruise.

Sir, it's a target vessel.

Hands to boarding stations.

I'll take down the help.

I want to go with the boarding party.

Fine.

What's it doing here?

That's what we're about to find out.

RO: She's entering Cairns Harbor.

XO: Everyone, secondaries off.

[gunfire]

Open fire!

Charge, can you see anyone else on board?

CHARGE: Looks like one person on board, X.

XO: All right, Dutchy.

Looks like there is only one POV.

We're going to provide cover fire.

You snatch board.

[gunshots]

Stay down, everyone!

Riggsy, get me in where you can!

[gunshots]

He's down, let's go!

There is no point to all of us being exposed.

You stay on board.

Aye, ma'am.

Swain take control of the boat.

X. Two suitcases inside.

Coming around, Riggsy.

Coming to port.

Whoa.

What's the situation?

It's a dirty bomb.

On a timer.

Can you defuse it?

Possibly.

There's only minutes before it explodes.

If this blows, we'll be cooked in the fallout.

The only option we've got is to drive

it as far away from land as possible in the time

we've got left.

OK, do it. Go.

I'll stay on board.

See if I can disarm it.

Harvey, bring the RHIB over ASAP.

Charge, we're heading back to Hammersley.

CHARGE: Copy that.

Coming in, port side.

If you can't diffuse it, you give

yourself time to get clear.

Use the boat's tender.

Jim?

You promise me.

I promise.

Now get out of here.

Ma'am?

We have to go.

SWAIN: Course holding steady, X.

XO [ON RADIO]: Copy that, Swain.

Any progress?

Not much.

This timing mechanism is sophisticated.

Very tricky.

One wrong move.

How about you?

No, we're not far enough away from land yet.

[metal groans]

[engine stops]

MADELAINE: Somehow managed to locate it.

Yes.

Let me call you back.

Tipping them off again, were you?

It's ridiculous.

You're a double agent.

And you've been involved in this from the start.

If that were true, why would I risk getting involved with you?

Because I must have stumbled across a clue way back,

so you've decided to keep me distracted.

I was focused on you rather than what you were doing.

That's all very flattering.

But I need to be going now.

Launch the rib.

That's not going to happen.

Not going to ask you again.

What, are you going to shoot me?

In here?

CHARGE: Dutchy?

[gunshot]

You all right?

Yeah, take her.

[groans]

OK, we got a problem.

What's wrong with it?

I don't know, mate, I'm not an engineer.

Mate, she's dead in the water.

All right.

Come on.

I can't stop the timer, but I can prevent the fallout.

I'll try and separate the Semtex from the cesium.

Dump the cesium overboard.

You go, mate.

Stupid, I'm not going to leave you here on your own.

What can I do?

Start cutting the white wires.

Only the white wires.

They've cut their engine.

They've still got their tender.

I don't see them moving.

They've got less than a minute.

Swain, Jim, time to get out of there.

Get out now, that is an order.

JIM: Come on.

A nice one.

How's it going, Swain?

SWAIN: Got it.

JIM: Pull the circuits out.

Now get rid of it.

They've got one of overboard.

That's two for two.

Thanks, mate.

[explosion]

Are you OK?

I feel so guilty.

Your decision to let him go ahead was right.

It's not your fault that they disobeyed orders to leave.

No.

That's not what I meant.

Then what is it?

After I met you for coffee I went

and tried on a wedding dress.

And that's when I knew that I would never marry Jim.

Did you tell him?

There's only one person who I could ever imagine marrying.

Me too.

OFFICER: We posthumously award the cross of valor

to Petty Officer Coxswain Chris Blake and Special Air

Service Captain Jim Roth.

Their preeminent act of valor involved

the ultimate self-sacrifice and displayed

an extreme devotion to duty.

For this we honor them.

I know I speak for everyone when I express my gratitude

and appreciation for the sacrifice

that Swain and Jim have made.

Jim Roth was a consummate professional,

and a man of great integrity.

Swain-- Swain was a fine sailor, an inspired

medic, and a person of great humanity and compassion.

We'll miss you, mate.

Parade ho!

Parade, dismissed!

[music playing]

[theme music]
