We do.
- You agreed to let the RCMP look over your boat.
You having a problem with that now? - Look We were in bed.

- This isn't about you! - Why'd you tell me then? - I mean, everything upsets him.
Not all the time, but - Post-traumatic stress is Well, it's like this mug.
Most people's stress levels are around here somewhere.
They go up or down, But there's room before you reach the top.
Andrew's stuck here, and it never drops.
Add any more, and he'll spill over.
- Oh.
Hi.
I, um- - What's going on? - Amy asked me here.
- Oh, yeah? What for? - We were talking about you leaving counseling.
- Is there a problem with my work performance? - No.
- Right.
Well, I'm fine.
- Was there a specific reason Why you decided not to attend your sessions? - It just wasn't helping.
- If it's because You didn't care for the counselor you were dealing with, We'll find someone else.
- Yeah, well, that's okay.
Just leave it with me.
Like I said, I'm fine.
And, all respect, but, um, If you plan on coming to my home, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know first.
- Well, thanks for the tea, Amy.
Andrew, I'll See you back at the base.
- Yeah.
For sure.
What are you trying to do? - You could at least turn and face me.
Please.
- Just answer me.
- I needed someone to talk to.
- What about talking to me? - I tried.
- Really? - You don't get to blame me, Andrew.
- Why not? You go behind my back? - What did you expect me to do? - You have no idea what I'm dealing with here, okay? Are you trying to get me fired? - This is not about a job! This is about our family.
- I've always provided for this family.
- Don't twist my words.
- Why would you do that? Why would you go to her? - You lied to me.
- What? - You said that you'd always be here to help us.
And since what happened at the river, you haven't.
- Well, I'm here now, aren't I? Aren't I? Can't you see me, Amy? - no, I can't! - I'm right here! - Mommy? - Oh, my God.
Andrew, you have to leave, now.
- Three people sailing, had a few drinks.
Woman didn't want to go to bed.
Two men come up in the morning.
She's gone.
Suicide hasn't been ruled out.
- I can tell they're broke up about it.
- Theory is it's drug-related.
RCMP searched the boat.
Found nothing.
- Then they're free to go when they sober up.
- They're waiting around to see if we find the woman alive.
- Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what they're hoping for.
- Air force is called out on something else.
It's just us and the auxiliary now.
Clock is running down.
Nobody can tread water this long.
- Better get to it Hey, Vedona.
What do you mean, what do I want? I'm just checking in.
Why does there have to be a want attached to it? How are my nieces and nephews doing? I know I just saw 'em.
Yeah, I'm sure you're busy.
I'm busy too.
Uh, look, this is kind of, uh, awkward, but I'm wondering are you in any kind of position To help me with a small floater loan? No, my truck, it- Vedona.
Hello? I'm losing you.
Hello? Can you hear me w? Vedona? How 'bout now? Aw.
- Is he trying to make us seasick? - Hey, skipper, you mind steering the boat Like you're not new? - I'll take starboard.
- What are we doing here? - Besides our job? - Every time some lowlife has one too many And falls off the side of a boat, We search an area the size of Morocco.
Nation's tax dollars at work.
- Yeah, if you ran the world, eh, Laura? I used to be that lowlife.
- She's not alive, Carly.
She was intoxicated and has been awash for 15 hours.
- She deserves our attention.
End of story.
- Miro, I got something.
2 points a-port and dead ahead.
- Could belong to her.
- Yeah.
Or anyone else who owns a white sneaker.
- There's no way it floated way over here.
- We're losing light quick.
We need to recheck the currents against the boat's known course.
- It doesn't matter.
Wee been ordered back to port.
- What? - The RCC has officially downgraded the search To recovery.
So Not now, Carly.
- We found her shoe.
- Check that.
We found a shoe.
Look, RCC said if we really felt the need to, We can go out again at first light- Unless something else comes up.
But we have nothing up right now.
As skipper, you have some discretion.
What are we doing anyway besides filling out forms To get declined for another credit card? You still owe me 30 bucks.
- Port Hallet coast guard.
Can I help you? - You guys are searching for my mom, Pamela highway? I want to talk to somebody.
- Straight ahead to the office, please.
What the hell? - Where is she going? - Hey! Wait! - What did you do to my mom, you bastards! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- They did something to her! - Just take it easy, jean.
It was an accident.
- Come on, honey.

I only stopped for gas.
Why aren't you out there looking for her? - That's a good question.
- My mom wouldn't suicide.
It's those guys.
It's those guys on that boat.
Whatever they're telling you, it's lies.
You've gotta go back out there.
You've gotta find my mom.
- I'm very sorry, but we can't go back out until morning.
- Till morning? You're leaving her till morning? - There's been a thorough search.
- You don't know her! She's a fighter.
People are always giving up on her, but She wouldn't give up.
Not on me.
You don't know her.
She used to be a nurse, And she got really messed up, but You can't leave her out there.
- Tell you what.
Um You can grab a room for the night at this motel.
Ursula's the owner.
Tell her I sent you.
Grab a couple hours' sleep.
I will call you as soon as we know anything.
- Come on.
I'll walk you to your car.
Come on.
- That's what you all think.
She's just another drunk Indian that checked out, right? That's not my mom.
She wouldn't do that! - Go get some sleep.
- Can you tell me something? If she was a doctor's wife from west van Would you guys have called off the search? - We do the same for whoever it is.
- We searched everywhere we knew to look.
- Yeah, well What if the ocean took her someplace else? - You've reached the Renwalds.
Leave a message.
We've got the most up-to-date technology, And nothing can go wrong- go wrong-go wrong-go wr- - Cute.
- Tina, it's me.
Uh, I need to know that you're at home, So call me at the base as soon as y get this.
Immediately.
- Problems in paradise? - Curfew was an hour ago, and she knows it.
Tina, I left you a message on the land line.
Um You need to call me as soon as you get this message.
Okay? - She'll be home soon.
It's just testing, right? - I never planned on being a mother, And now I am stuck with a child from hell.
What am I supposed to do? Anything happens to her while David's out of town - That's what you're worried about? - I'm worried about David's daughter, yeah.
- So cut her some slack.
- She gets too much slack.
- What is with you? - What? - No, seriously.
Who's not in your way? - Okay, what are you talking about? - Pam highway's a drunken waste of tax money, And Tina's not at home just to piss you off.
And if everybody would just get a grip, Then your life would be so much better.
- Okay, not now, Carly.
All right? - Ohh Wait a second.
- I've gotta go home and check on something.
Ten minutes there, ten minutes back-half hour tops.
- Are you asking my permission? - Yes.
Skipper.
- Okay, go ahead.
But at first light, I wanna go back out.
- Okay, this is Not a challenge.
It's simply a point of clarification.
What the hell for? It's over.
- Miro.
Come here.
Something to show you.
Three's a current pattern that's not on this chart.
- What are you talking about? - This bay here.
My dad and I fished here a thousand times.
There's a shifting sandbar.
All the locals know about it.
- Show me where you think she may have drifted.
- This line.
Here.
Let's at least check it out.
- I'll get on the blower with the RCC.
If you're right, I may pay you that 30 bucks.
But the ball was clearly out of bounds.
- Andrew.
- Hey.
- I Put some things together for you.
- How many things? - Pardon? - Well, is Is it a pair of socks, Or, I mean, do you want me to stay away for one night, Or What is it? - I can't have you around right now.
- Amy.
I'm so sorry.
- I know.
- Drew.
Come on, we gotta roll.
- What about Laura? - Let's just do it.
- Andrew.
You coming? - Tina Tina? - Hmm.
- Come on, sweetie.
Let's get you to bed, huh? - Mm.

But I don't see it.
- You're right.
Let's go have a look.
- Oh Miro, pulls us alongside.
- Smart girl.
Smashed out a buoy light as a signal.
- That is one will to survive.
- Yep.
We can safely rule out a suicide attempt.
- Jeannie, where did you come from? - I came here for you.
Didn't think that I'd see you again.
- Ah Here I am.
- Yeah.
Here you are.
It's good to see you.
Do you wanna come back home with me, mom? - I wanna get warm first.

- Andrew.
You guys did some good work last night.
- Damn it! Nothing! - I am very proud of you.
- You are? - Mm-hmm.
- For what? - For being my brave captain.
yeah? Big man.
I can't even keep a damn truck! - You do not need a truck to prove to me that you are a man.
And would you please throw those lottery tickets away? Thank you.
Now.
Will you listen to me? - Okay.
- If you truly want to become solvent, You first need to get to the back end of the stages of debt.
Eh! It seems to me you are in a rut Somewhere between denial and anger.
So I suggest you just leap right over bargaining and remorse And get straight to acceptance.
I spared no expense.
Acknowledgement is the first step On the road to recovery.
- Thanks, Tina.
