Heart of Glass
BOMBER: I have eggs to cook.
They can wait two minutes.
Hang on.
RO, hurry up.
Seriously.
Uh-uh-uh! Robert It's not from me.
From Mum.
Oi, do you mind? The ship's journal will not shoot itself, apparently.
Wow.
It's gorgeous.
(READS) "Happy 21 st, Rebecca.
Love, Mum.
" What's the matter? Ahhh, it's not your style.
It is.
It's just I haven't spoken to her for a while - a long while.
She wasn't impressed when I joined the navy.
What, she had bigger plans for you? She said if I was gonna nick off and join the navy, then I shouldn't bother coming back - ever.
And that was three years ago.
That's unfortunate.
Yeah.
I better get back to the galley.
(READS) "Place one layer topside down" (DOOR OPENS) X You're up early.
Yeah, I thought I'd make you a brew.
Gee, thanks, Spider.
Happy birthday.
I'll just ditch the gash first.
Yeah.
(WHISPERS) Go with her! What? I said I'd go with you.
I can manage.
No, we'll take in the sunrise together.
Yeah, it'll be What? Romantic? Alright.
Come on, then.
(PHONE RINGS) 'Hammersley' MAN: (OVER RADIO) NAVCOM here.
Urgent message for Petty Officer Peter Tomashevski.
Yeah, one moment.
Permission to go to the boat deck, ditch a gash? Yeah, go ahead.
Come on.
This is Petty Officer Tomashevski.
Message to call home urgently.
Thank you.
Yeah, morning, Nav.
Sorry to wake you.
Can you come to the bridge, take over the watch for me? Right, thanks.
How many people get to wake up to a view like this on their 21 st? Yeah, it wouldn't be half bad if I didn't have to look at it every other day of my life.
Here, fishy, fishy! Here, fishy, fishy! Hey, hey, some people are still sleeping.
Yeah, not for much longer.
(BANGS POT) Oh.
(METAL JANGLES) Oh, no.
Hey, what are you doing? My bracelet.
Bomber, wait on! It's gonna wash off! Bomber! You haven't got a life jacket on.
Forget the bracelet.
I've almost got it! Let go! (SHOUTS) Help! Spider? Help! Help! Help! Man overboard! Help! Man overboard! Spider, Spider, we're fine.
Oh, you reckon? Yeah, of course.
Buffer will realise when we don't come back inside.
You are kidding.
My mum gave it to me, alright? She'll be pleased to know you tried to drown one of your mates for it.
This is why we have an officer of the watch.
Just keep looking.
They'll turn back for us any second.
Thanks, Nav.
Nothing's changed, Buff.
Is everything OK? Yeah, fine.
Are you sure everything's OK? Yeah.
OK.
Well, if that's everything, that's my pillow calling.
Call the hands, call the hands.
Wakey-wakey-wakey.
It's not my pillow calling after all.
(CHUCKLES) Sorry, ma'am.
Nah, it's alright.
(YAWNS) (MUTTERS) Where are the eggs? There aren't any.
No way! There's a choice of fruit salad or fruit salad.
SWAIN: I'd steer clear if I were you.
That stuff will soften your arteries.
Ha-ha.
Where is the cook? Oh, this is not on! She's not here.
It's just fruit and salad.
Good.
Need you all in the junior sailors' mess.
Is there a problem? No, we're gonna sing 'Happy Birthday' He's getting weirder.
Oh Oh, that looks like horse Don't say that.
Well, OK, it looks like the product of a horse that ate some birthday candles.
With these things, it's the thought that counts.
Yeah, well, at least it'll taste really good.
It's actually It's a bit frozen.
How long has it been out? About 45 minutes.
You should've taken it out last night.
I know.
Thanks for that.
I know.
Nav, ma'am.
I found some sparklers.
Oh, fantastic! Found them in the store.
I've rounded up the crew.
They're waiting in the junior sailors' mess for your arrival.
OK, that's great.
Can you get Spider to go and get Bomber? Use lots of sparklers.
Arggh! See how I've done it? The air inside is making them buoyant so they keep me afloat.
Yeah, I've got it.
You remember.
It was in our 'Survival at Sea' course from the manual.
Bomber, who reads the manual? Just concentrate on what you're doing.
Tie these.
This one? Yes.
Bomber, they should've turned around by now.
Spider, I'm gonna get you out of this, OK? How? Have you got a plan? I'm thinking.
Maybe that bracelet of yours inflates into a dinghy.
CHARGE: Ow! That looks like it belongs in a paddock.
Could make a navy cook out of you yet.
Thanks very much.
It looks like a pile of BOTH: Shh! ALL: Surprise! I can't find them, ma'am, and I've looked everywhere.
Well, Spider had I can't find Spider either.
Morning.
Morning, boss.
No, you're right.
All quiet last night? Nothing to report, sir.
NAVCOM called.
Earlier this morning.
And? Just a message for me to call home.
Everything alright? Excuse me, sir, we're having problems locating Spider and Bomber.
I saw them earlier this morning, sir.
Bomber came in to ask if she could go onto the boat deck to ditch the gash, and Spider was with her.
When did they come inboard? What time? I don't recall them coming inboard at all.
Um I thought they must have come in while I was down in COMCEN.
I didn't know that they were out.
Able Seaman Brown and Seaman Webb, bridge at the rush.
Any members of the ship's company who believe they know the whereabouts of these personnel, report to the bridge.
Conduct a Williamson turn.
Aye, sir.
X, do a full search of the ship.
Yes, sir.
Nav, outline the search area.
Yes, sir.
Um, if I could have the time, just for the parameters.
Approximately 5am.
Well, I came in at about 5:30.
So it was about 5:15.
'About' Arggh! What? What?! Oh! There's a pain in my leg.
What? Is it a cramp? I don't know.
Take your boots off.
I have.
Look, just try to stretch it out.
Oh It hurts more, Bomber.
I know it hurts, Spider, but you've gotta try.
You said Buffer would've realised we were gone straightaway.
I know.
Well, it's been ages! No-one's gonna find us out here.
We're gonna drown and the sharks Spider, you don't think I realise this is serious?! And you're right - they should've turned back by now - but the worst thing you can do is panic.
We just have to save our energy and make a plan.
These overalls are strangling me! Just get rid of them, then, alright? Now just try and relax for a minute, OK? Please, Spider.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
Yeah, it's worked for me so far, hasn't it? Spider.
(COUGHS) I can look after myself.
No, you look after me, I look after you.
That's how this works.
Deal? CO: All ships, all ships, this is Australian warship 'Hammersley' I have two sailors overboard - I say again, two sailors overboard - in approximate position 12ð 32' south, Maintaining listening watch on channel 16.
Out.
You handed over the watch without telling the navigator you had two sailors outside.
Yes, sir.
And you didn't you didn't check if they were back when you returned.
I'm sorry, sir.
I stuffed up.
XO: Buffer.
Buff, what's going on? I stuffed up.
I should've checked on them.
You don't make those kind of mistakes.
What is going on? I wanna know.
It's my mum.
What about your mum? It's cancer and she's at the end.
Oh, Buff, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Why didn't you tell me? Because I'm not a welfare case.
Buffer, you've gotta tell people stuff! Come on, talk Can we just stick to finding Spider and Bomber? Of course.
Ma'am.
Spider, no! Ah, you're fine.
Hang on.
Hang on.
You're not Spider Spider.
Spider.
We've reached the end of our search area, sir.
Thanks, Nav.
Been out a long time, sir.
I'm aware of that, RO.
It's just, with the sharks and the stingers I mean, they're not wearing stinger suits Put a sock in it.
We don't need your grim predictions.
Alright, let's stay focused, everyone.
Buffer.
We'll reverse course.
Put the RHIBs on the beams, increase our lateral search.
Let's go.
Aye, sir.
Can I have a quick word? Sir, Buffer's mother, she's dying.
Has he asked for shore leave? Quite the opposite.
He feels responsible for Spider and Bomber.
I just thought you should know.
Yeah, thanks, X.
Listen, we can't stop for anything.
Every second counts.
Yeah.
Something in the water at green 45.
To your left.
Left.
Righto.
Down.
They're Bomber's, X.
Charlie 82, this is X-ray 82.
We have Bomber' overalls.
Over.
(STATIC HISSES) Well, now we know we're in the right area.
We'll continue our search.
Don't you give up on me.
Don't.
Don't you give up on me, please.
Spider, no! (GASPS) Spider, you're fi (GASPS FOR BREATH) Spider? Uh-huh? Spider, is that a boat? Is that a boat? Spider, look.
Spider.
Spider.
(SHOUTS) Help! Help! Help us! Hel Help! Help! Help! Yes, here! Help! Help! Here! Here! Hang on.
Gracie! Gracie! Spider, come on! You're alright, guys.
You're alright.
Come on.
Come on, Spider.
Help.
Come on.
(GROANS) You're alright.
You're alright.
Stop there.
Give us a hand, hon.
I got him.
(COUGHS) Spit it up, mate.
Spit it up.
Oh, Spider Get your breath.
Get your breath.
You're OK.
What's going on? They were in the water.
Are you crazy? (TERSELY) They were drowning.
Oh You're OK.
Come down here and we'll get you some dry clothes.
You're alright.
Come on.
Come on.
(SIGHS) Oh, can we let them through? You two must be the luckiest people on the planet.
Thanks Thanks so much.
There you go.
Come on.
I'll get you some dry clothes.
Thanks.
(WHISPERS) Wait.
Come here.
What? Don't mention the navy, whatever you do, OK? Just Why? Our saviour out there Finn McLean.
He's a drug dealer.
He escaped from prison about a month ago.
What, the guy that was all over the news? Didn't he kill a guard doing it? If he finds out we're navy we're dead.
These should fit.
Thank you.
Just come out when you're ready.
Yeah.
No worries.
We need to be cool, OK? Yeah, I'm cool.
I'm cool.
What's McLean doing out here anyway? Trying to get out of the country any way he can, I suppose.
Oh, get rid of those.
Maybe it's better if they think someone's looking for us.
No way.
He doesn't want the authorities anywhere near this boat.
We'll talk to them, then, ask them to drop us off somewhere or something.
How are you going down there? Coming.
McLean's a killer.
He doesn't bother talking to people who get in his way.
Quick.
Now give them to me.
Ow.
Look, keep your talking to a minimum, OK? Put your head down and we'll try to contact the ship ASAP.
Alright.
Didn't you hear Gracie? Yeah.
Lead the way.
Grab a seat.
Thanks.
Shift up.
Sorry? Shift up.
Oh.
Ah, well, I'm Billy.
This is Rebecca.
I'm Gracie.
Hi.
Hey.
G'day.
So how'd you get yourselves stuck out there? Uh, just came off the back of our boat.
Yacht.
Yeah, yacht.
Yeah, and hit a reef, and down she went.
Bummer.
Yeah, bummer.
Yeah, I've never been on a boat that sunk before, eh? You've been out there a while? Uh, just before breakfast A couple of hours.
Yeah, couple of hours.
How long ago did you call for help? We didn't get the chance.
Didn't get off a mayday signal? No, unfortunately not.
So no-one knows you're out here.
That's a yes or no, Rebecca.
No.
No, no, no-one knows.
Give them a chance to catch their breath, Finn.
Oh, it's nice to meet you, Finn.
If we could use your radio, we'll get onto coastal patrol and just let them know we sank our boat.
Yeah, it's broken.
Oh, right.
Um, do you have a mobile or? Um Ah, there's hardly any coverage out here, I'm afraid.
OK.
But, uh, Ben will fix the radio for you, won't you, mate? MAN: Doing my best, mate.
Well, if not, maybe we can find somewhere to drop you off along the way.
BOMBER: That would be great.
SPIDER: That would be awesome.
Uh, where are you guys headed? North.
Pretty nice boat you've got here, Finn.
What do you do for a crust? Finn's just chartered it from us.
He's on a fishing trip.
Yeah, cool.
So, where were you two headed? Uh, Papua.
Holiday? Honeymoon, actually.
Right.
Isn't that nice! Newlyweds.
Great.
Where'd you meet? In a restaurant.
Bec here is a cook.
(LAUGHS) You must have lost your wedding rings.
Yeah.
Yes, funny story, actually.
Uh, the groom left them in the cab on his bucks' night.
Yeah, dumb me, eh? Massive night.
That's a hard one to live down.
Yeah, you bet.
Lost your wedding rings, boat sinks on your honeymoon you two were meant to be.
Yeah, right, um Hasn't exactly been a great start, but No, but we are going to work through it, aren't we, Bec? Sure, Billy.
(LAUGHS) Perhaps you could cook me a meal, then.
You are a chef? Yeah.
You'd be doing me a huge favour.
Gracie here can barely open a can of baked beans.
Look, it'd be my pleasure.
But maybe we should try and get the radio working first, yeah? Yeah, I could give it a shot.
I'm pretty good with electrics.
Ben's working on it.
Right.
Well, it's just obviously we're holding you up, so I'm just Food first.
Sure.
(WHISPERS) You reckon they're suss? What do you reckon? "What do you do for a crust?" "I kill people who ask stupid questions.
" Yeah, right.
Don't get snaky, OK? It's not my fault we're in this situation.
Just keep it simple.
No more surprises like "We're on our honeymoon.
" If in doubt, shut up, don't say anything.
Sorry.
I'm just I can't lie to save myself.
Unfortunately, Spider, this is the one time where you have to.
How's my meal coming along? Just reducing the sauce.
Looks edible.
Done alright for yourself here, young fella.
Beccy's a fox.
Yeah, she is.
Knows her way around a puttanesca sauce.
Gotta love that.
Actually it's arrabbiata, which is Italian for 'enraged' My mistake.
Look, I don't like people messing around in my kitchen, so why don't you just go and relax and we'll bring it down to you? What a chef.
Thanks.
Yuck.
Their radio's not broken.
They just don't want us to use it.
I thought that was pretty obvious.
Bomber, I can't do this much longer.
We have to get to the radio and call for help.
It's the only way.
OK, they picked us up by accident.
He's on the run, and now we're witnesses.
I don't think they're gonna let us go.
Obviously.
We need to get to the helm and make sure they're all busy long enough for us to get to the radio.
Have you got any ideas? I reckon I do.
One, two.
(ENGINE PURRS) Best I could come up with under the circumstances.
Hope it's OK.
There's a serve for Ben too.
He's busy.
Um Yum.
Learn a new word today, Gracie? (AIRCRAFT ENGINE DRONES) Finn! Finn? Finn, that was a Coastwatch plane.
I thought you said you didn't make a mayday call.
No, we didn't.
Maybe it's not looking for them.
(BOAT ENGINE ENGINE STRUGGLES) Oh, what now? Gotta shut the engine down.
(ENGINE POWERS DOWN) Give us a hand, will you? Give me a hand, will ya? BEN: What? Bloody fanbelt's busted.
You tell me you can fix it.
I got a rendezvous to make.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure I've got a spare here somewhere.
What are you looking at?! Ah, shit.
I know where it is.
It's OK.
MAN: (OVER RADIO) All ships, all ships, man overboard.
What the hell? Finn! Please keep a lookout for two navy sailors Give me the radio.
Get off me! Give me the radio now! Let go of me! Give it to me.
Oh! All ships, all ships, man overboard.
Please keep a lookout for two navy sailors, one male, one female.
Repeat, two navy sailors.
Please respond.
Navy? Well, that explains the food.
Ben, if you wouldn't mind fixing the fanbelt.
No need for games.
I know who you are.
You know who I am.
It's been a pleasure.
Yes.
Yep, understood.
X, Captain.
Sir.
X, Coastwatch has spotted a vessel in the search area.
It's not responding to calls.
Make an approach.
See if they've spotted our sailors.
Nav will give you the directions.
Standing by.
From your current position, course 280, range three miles.
Did you copy that? Let's go.
Let's get there.
Righto.
Finn, I don't know about this, mate.
Not my problem.
Well, why don't we just drop them off somewhere? Great idea, and these two blab to their mates and you two get charged with conspiracy.
Well, what do you suggest we do, then? You know what to do.
Make sure they never surface.
Just make them vanish.
But we're not gonna tell anyone.
We promise.
You saved our lives.
God, we owe you for that.
Please.
Darling, it's not my problem.
BEN: Who is it? Get down.
Who is it? Get down.
Who is it? Navy.
They're navy for sure.
You two, you need to play happy couples on a fishing trip, right? You two, get inside.
You stay down.
Crawl! Go! Gracie, get some tape.
XO: We have them in our sights.
There are two people on board.
CO: (OVER RADIO) Make your approach.
Get us in there, righto! Keep moving.
We're moving.
Not a sound out of you.
You're a legend, aren't you? I'm just a guy with a gun.
Come on, Spider.
Gracie, I know you're a good person.
Are you really gonna let? He's right.
No! I should have let you drown.
Get upstairs.
Afternoon! Coastwatch have been trying to raise you on the radio.
Oh, yeah, our radio's stuffed.
Do you mind if we come aboard? Er sure.
Are you alone? Is there anyone else on board? Just me and the missus.
Ma'am, can you come outside, please? What's the problem? Two sailors have been lost overboard in this area.
Jeez, that's Friends of yours or? Fellow sailors, yes.
That's terrible.
You haven't seen any sign of them at all, have you? No.
Sorry.
Right.
Can you give us any idea of your course? lt'll help us with our search.
Um It's on the GPS.
Do you mind if I take a look? Thank you.
(FOOTSTEPS OVERHEAD) (GRUNTS) OK, let's go! It's no luck here, sir.
CO: (ON RADIO) Yeah, got that, X.
Make your way back.
Yes, sir.
Is this yours? Been looking for that.
Thank you.
Good luck finding your mates, eh? Yes, sir.
Yeah, Buffer, there's been another phone call for you.
From the hospital.
Um, why don't you use my cabin? lt'll give you more privacy.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, and, Buffer, we can't return to shore until we find our sailors.
Of course.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
We have done a thorough search of the area.
We found the overalls, but we Do you think it's time we made contact with the families? Mum? WOMAN: Is that you, Peter? Yes, Mum.
It's me.
Are you getting plenty of rest? (WEARILY) Yes.
I-I I wanted to call to say goodbye.
You just need to get your strength up.
It's alright, Peter.
I've accepted this and I need you to accept it too.
You'll be alright, Mum.
Just some healing time and you'll be OK.
Oh, darling.
I would've liked to have seen you just one more time.
Look, I'm not sure when.
We're in the middle of a search right now.
Peter, you'll be OK without me.
I wish I was there, Mum.
RO: (ON VIDEO) The ship's journal (KNOCK AT DOOR) RO, I've got an OPREP here from NAVCOM.
What have you got there? It's Bomber.
Recorded this for the ship's journal this morning.
You're not giving up on them, are you? No, of course I'm not.
OK, can I get this signal off, and then report to the bridge for lookout duty.
(BOMBER TALKS ON VIDEO) What is that? It's her birthday present.
Her mum got it for her.
BOMBER: I haven't spoken to her for a while.
They're on that boat.
Oi, do you mind? And you're sure it's the same bracelet? Absolutely.
100%.
Nav, are they still on radar? Yes, sir, they're heading in a northerly direction.
And how long will it take us to get there? At full speed, about 10 minutes.
Change course.
Head directly for that cruiser.
Yes, sir.
We'll prepare for insertion.
Port 10.
Steer 270.
OK, let's go.
Revolutions 2000.
Let's go get our people.
You dropped something.
Do you like it? I got it this morning.
You keep it.
It'll look better on you anyway.
Please, just let us go.
Please.
Just convince him to drop us off at some land.
We're not gonna tell anybody.
We'll just say we drifted about, Gracie.
Gracie, don't let them wreck your life like this.
Keep your voice down, or I'll have to put those gags back on.
Oh.
Some 21 st.
What are you whingeing about? You got to go swimming, meet some new people, got tied up.
What more could you want? I don't know, I just keep thinking about my mum.
Imagine how she'll feel.
Don't think like that, Bomb.
I haven't spoken to her in three years.
We had some dumb fight.
What if I never get to speak to her again? You will get to speak to her again.
Yeah? And then you'll probably lose your temper, have another argument, and then not speak to her for another three years.
That's the way.
We look out for each other, right? Yep.
Yep.
Should come through any second.
Sorry about your mum.
Thanks.
(RADIO BLEEPS) Leading Seaman Robert Dixon.
'Hammersley' Yep, I've got him with me now.
I'll put him on.
It's Dr Taylor.
Peter Tomashevski.
I understand.
She was peaceful? Good.
Thanks, RO.
Are you OK? Yep.
It's alright if you want to sit this one out.
Not while Bomber and Spider are still out there.
Boarding party ready, sir.
CO: (ON RADIO) Captain, copy.
Why have we stopped? There's a dinghy at the stern.
You need to get out of here before my husband does something really stupid.
Where's Finn? I'll take care of Finn.
What are you saying, Gracie? What have they got planned? I'll cop conspiracy, but I won't be an accessory to murder.
Quick.
You've got to draw them away from the back of the boat.
What do I do? Please, Gracie.
Do you have spare anchor chain? Yeah, of course.
It'd be in the forward hold, right? OK, so say you need their help to get it out.
You want to use it to weigh us down when you throw us over the side so we don't float.
They won't go for that.
They will.
Yeah.
You can do it, Gracie.
Come on.
BEN: Yo, Finn! Finn! Cheers, buddy.
It's your ticket out of here, mate.
You're out of here! (LAUGHS) Guys, I'm gonna use the anchor chain to tie them down.
I need your help.
Is that OK? Let's do it.
Go.
They're stealing the dinghy.
Finn, they're stealing the dinghy! BOMBER: Get off him! Spider! Go, Bomber! Guess you're coming with me.
Start it up.
(MOTOR REVS) Where are we going? Shut up! NAV: There's Bomber.
He's taken her hostage.
X, Captain.
Stand by.
Await my order to insert.
XO: Roger, sir.
Standing by ready to insert.
They're heading toward the seaplane, sir, Nav, come hard right.
Let's block its path.
Sir.
We're gonna box him in against the coastline, prevent him from landing.
I'm not getting on that plane with you.
You won't be my first, sweetheart.
Coming up to maximum speed, Charge.
Looking good for 27 knots, sir.
Seaplane, this is Australian warship 'Hammersley', Abort your landing.
I say again, abort your landing.
Take up! What's happening? What are they doing? PILOT: They're trying to stop me landing.
Go round them.
I can't land in a crosswind.
I've got nowhere to go.
I don't care! Just do whatever you have to.
Just get that thing down here.
He's aborting.
No! X, Captain.
Insert boarding party.
Go, go, go.
Back to the launch.
Now! Fast! Come on! Get out of here! Come on, navy man! BUFFER: Put the weapon down or we will shoot! XO: Put the weapon down.
Put it down! Put it down, sir! Come on, navy! (GUNSHOT) You are now the property of the Australian Navy.
Understand? (GRUNTS) Cuffs.
Get 'em in.
Boy, is Spider gonna have a major headache.
He saved my bacon out there.
So did you.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, I don't know.
Think it might have been a bit of a Buffer special.
I like your bracelet.
Yeah.
Mum gave it to me.
You close to your mum? Yeah.
For a minute there, I thought I wasn't gonna get the chance to say thank you to her.
But she made sure it got to me just in time.
That was great.
Yeah.
They can wait two minutes.
Hang on.
RO, hurry up.
Seriously.
Uh-uh-uh! Robert It's not from me.
From Mum.
Oi, do you mind? The ship's journal will not shoot itself, apparently.
Wow.
It's gorgeous.
(READS) "Happy 21 st, Rebecca.
Love, Mum.
" What's the matter? Ahhh, it's not your style.
It is.
It's just I haven't spoken to her for a while - a long while.
She wasn't impressed when I joined the navy.
What, she had bigger plans for you? She said if I was gonna nick off and join the navy, then I shouldn't bother coming back - ever.
And that was three years ago.
That's unfortunate.
Yeah.
I better get back to the galley.
(READS) "Place one layer topside down" (DOOR OPENS) X You're up early.
Yeah, I thought I'd make you a brew.
Gee, thanks, Spider.
Happy birthday.
I'll just ditch the gash first.
Yeah.
(WHISPERS) Go with her! What? I said I'd go with you.
I can manage.
No, we'll take in the sunrise together.
Yeah, it'll be What? Romantic? Alright.
Come on, then.
(PHONE RINGS) 'Hammersley' MAN: (OVER RADIO) NAVCOM here.
Urgent message for Petty Officer Peter Tomashevski.
Yeah, one moment.
Permission to go to the boat deck, ditch a gash? Yeah, go ahead.
Come on.
This is Petty Officer Tomashevski.
Message to call home urgently.
Thank you.
Yeah, morning, Nav.
Sorry to wake you.
Can you come to the bridge, take over the watch for me? Right, thanks.
How many people get to wake up to a view like this on their 21 st? Yeah, it wouldn't be half bad if I didn't have to look at it every other day of my life.
Here, fishy, fishy! Here, fishy, fishy! Hey, hey, some people are still sleeping.
Yeah, not for much longer.
(BANGS POT) Oh.
(METAL JANGLES) Oh, no.
Hey, what are you doing? My bracelet.
Bomber, wait on! It's gonna wash off! Bomber! You haven't got a life jacket on.
Forget the bracelet.
I've almost got it! Let go! (SHOUTS) Help! Spider? Help! Help! Help! Man overboard! Help! Man overboard! Spider, Spider, we're fine.
Oh, you reckon? Yeah, of course.
Buffer will realise when we don't come back inside.
You are kidding.
My mum gave it to me, alright? She'll be pleased to know you tried to drown one of your mates for it.
This is why we have an officer of the watch.
Just keep looking.
They'll turn back for us any second.
Thanks, Nav.
Nothing's changed, Buff.
Is everything OK? Yeah, fine.
Are you sure everything's OK? Yeah.
OK.
Well, if that's everything, that's my pillow calling.
Call the hands, call the hands.
Wakey-wakey-wakey.
It's not my pillow calling after all.
(CHUCKLES) Sorry, ma'am.
Nah, it's alright.
(YAWNS) (MUTTERS) Where are the eggs? There aren't any.
No way! There's a choice of fruit salad or fruit salad.
SWAIN: I'd steer clear if I were you.
That stuff will soften your arteries.
Ha-ha.
Where is the cook? Oh, this is not on! She's not here.
It's just fruit and salad.
Good.
Need you all in the junior sailors' mess.
Is there a problem? No, we're gonna sing 'Happy Birthday' He's getting weirder.
Oh Oh, that looks like horse Don't say that.
Well, OK, it looks like the product of a horse that ate some birthday candles.
With these things, it's the thought that counts.
Yeah, well, at least it'll taste really good.
It's actually It's a bit frozen.
How long has it been out? About 45 minutes.
You should've taken it out last night.
I know.
Thanks for that.
I know.
Nav, ma'am.
I found some sparklers.
Oh, fantastic! Found them in the store.
I've rounded up the crew.
They're waiting in the junior sailors' mess for your arrival.
OK, that's great.
Can you get Spider to go and get Bomber? Use lots of sparklers.
Arggh! See how I've done it? The air inside is making them buoyant so they keep me afloat.
Yeah, I've got it.
You remember.
It was in our 'Survival at Sea' course from the manual.
Bomber, who reads the manual? Just concentrate on what you're doing.
Tie these.
This one? Yes.
Bomber, they should've turned around by now.
Spider, I'm gonna get you out of this, OK? How? Have you got a plan? I'm thinking.
Maybe that bracelet of yours inflates into a dinghy.
CHARGE: Ow! That looks like it belongs in a paddock.
Could make a navy cook out of you yet.
Thanks very much.
It looks like a pile of BOTH: Shh! ALL: Surprise! I can't find them, ma'am, and I've looked everywhere.
Well, Spider had I can't find Spider either.
Morning.
Morning, boss.
No, you're right.
All quiet last night? Nothing to report, sir.
NAVCOM called.
Earlier this morning.
And? Just a message for me to call home.
Everything alright? Excuse me, sir, we're having problems locating Spider and Bomber.
I saw them earlier this morning, sir.
Bomber came in to ask if she could go onto the boat deck to ditch the gash, and Spider was with her.
When did they come inboard? What time? I don't recall them coming inboard at all.
Um I thought they must have come in while I was down in COMCEN.
I didn't know that they were out.
Able Seaman Brown and Seaman Webb, bridge at the rush.
Any members of the ship's company who believe they know the whereabouts of these personnel, report to the bridge.
Conduct a Williamson turn.
Aye, sir.
X, do a full search of the ship.
Yes, sir.
Nav, outline the search area.
Yes, sir.
Um, if I could have the time, just for the parameters.
Approximately 5am.
Well, I came in at about 5:30.
So it was about 5:15.
'About' Arggh! What? What?! Oh! There's a pain in my leg.
What? Is it a cramp? I don't know.
Take your boots off.
I have.
Look, just try to stretch it out.
Oh It hurts more, Bomber.
I know it hurts, Spider, but you've gotta try.
You said Buffer would've realised we were gone straightaway.
I know.
Well, it's been ages! No-one's gonna find us out here.
We're gonna drown and the sharks Spider, you don't think I realise this is serious?! And you're right - they should've turned back by now - but the worst thing you can do is panic.
We just have to save our energy and make a plan.
These overalls are strangling me! Just get rid of them, then, alright? Now just try and relax for a minute, OK? Please, Spider.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
Yeah, it's worked for me so far, hasn't it? Spider.
(COUGHS) I can look after myself.
No, you look after me, I look after you.
That's how this works.
Deal? CO: All ships, all ships, this is Australian warship 'Hammersley' I have two sailors overboard - I say again, two sailors overboard - in approximate position 12ð 32' south, Maintaining listening watch on channel 16.
Out.
You handed over the watch without telling the navigator you had two sailors outside.
Yes, sir.
And you didn't you didn't check if they were back when you returned.
I'm sorry, sir.
I stuffed up.
XO: Buffer.
Buff, what's going on? I stuffed up.
I should've checked on them.
You don't make those kind of mistakes.
What is going on? I wanna know.
It's my mum.
What about your mum? It's cancer and she's at the end.
Oh, Buff, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Why didn't you tell me? Because I'm not a welfare case.
Buffer, you've gotta tell people stuff! Come on, talk Can we just stick to finding Spider and Bomber? Of course.
Ma'am.
Spider, no! Ah, you're fine.
Hang on.
Hang on.
You're not Spider Spider.
Spider.
We've reached the end of our search area, sir.
Thanks, Nav.
Been out a long time, sir.
I'm aware of that, RO.
It's just, with the sharks and the stingers I mean, they're not wearing stinger suits Put a sock in it.
We don't need your grim predictions.
Alright, let's stay focused, everyone.
Buffer.
We'll reverse course.
Put the RHIBs on the beams, increase our lateral search.
Let's go.
Aye, sir.
Can I have a quick word? Sir, Buffer's mother, she's dying.
Has he asked for shore leave? Quite the opposite.
He feels responsible for Spider and Bomber.
I just thought you should know.
Yeah, thanks, X.
Listen, we can't stop for anything.
Every second counts.
Yeah.
Something in the water at green 45.
To your left.
Left.
Righto.
Down.
They're Bomber's, X.
Charlie 82, this is X-ray 82.
We have Bomber' overalls.
Over.
(STATIC HISSES) Well, now we know we're in the right area.
We'll continue our search.
Don't you give up on me.
Don't.
Don't you give up on me, please.
Spider, no! (GASPS) Spider, you're fi (GASPS FOR BREATH) Spider? Uh-huh? Spider, is that a boat? Is that a boat? Spider, look.
Spider.
Spider.
(SHOUTS) Help! Help! Help us! Hel Help! Help! Help! Yes, here! Help! Help! Here! Here! Hang on.
Gracie! Gracie! Spider, come on! You're alright, guys.
You're alright.
Come on.
Come on, Spider.
Help.
Come on.
(GROANS) You're alright.
You're alright.
Stop there.
Give us a hand, hon.
I got him.
(COUGHS) Spit it up, mate.
Spit it up.
Oh, Spider Get your breath.
Get your breath.
You're OK.
What's going on? They were in the water.
Are you crazy? (TERSELY) They were drowning.
Oh You're OK.
Come down here and we'll get you some dry clothes.
You're alright.
Come on.
Come on.
(SIGHS) Oh, can we let them through? You two must be the luckiest people on the planet.
Thanks Thanks so much.
There you go.
Come on.
I'll get you some dry clothes.
Thanks.
(WHISPERS) Wait.
Come here.
What? Don't mention the navy, whatever you do, OK? Just Why? Our saviour out there Finn McLean.
He's a drug dealer.
He escaped from prison about a month ago.
What, the guy that was all over the news? Didn't he kill a guard doing it? If he finds out we're navy we're dead.
These should fit.
Thank you.
Just come out when you're ready.
Yeah.
No worries.
We need to be cool, OK? Yeah, I'm cool.
I'm cool.
What's McLean doing out here anyway? Trying to get out of the country any way he can, I suppose.
Oh, get rid of those.
Maybe it's better if they think someone's looking for us.
No way.
He doesn't want the authorities anywhere near this boat.
We'll talk to them, then, ask them to drop us off somewhere or something.
How are you going down there? Coming.
McLean's a killer.
He doesn't bother talking to people who get in his way.
Quick.
Now give them to me.
Ow.
Look, keep your talking to a minimum, OK? Put your head down and we'll try to contact the ship ASAP.
Alright.
Didn't you hear Gracie? Yeah.
Lead the way.
Grab a seat.
Thanks.
Shift up.
Sorry? Shift up.
Oh.
Ah, well, I'm Billy.
This is Rebecca.
I'm Gracie.
Hi.
Hey.
G'day.
So how'd you get yourselves stuck out there? Uh, just came off the back of our boat.
Yacht.
Yeah, yacht.
Yeah, and hit a reef, and down she went.
Bummer.
Yeah, bummer.
Yeah, I've never been on a boat that sunk before, eh? You've been out there a while? Uh, just before breakfast A couple of hours.
Yeah, couple of hours.
How long ago did you call for help? We didn't get the chance.
Didn't get off a mayday signal? No, unfortunately not.
So no-one knows you're out here.
That's a yes or no, Rebecca.
No.
No, no, no-one knows.
Give them a chance to catch their breath, Finn.
Oh, it's nice to meet you, Finn.
If we could use your radio, we'll get onto coastal patrol and just let them know we sank our boat.
Yeah, it's broken.
Oh, right.
Um, do you have a mobile or? Um Ah, there's hardly any coverage out here, I'm afraid.
OK.
But, uh, Ben will fix the radio for you, won't you, mate? MAN: Doing my best, mate.
Well, if not, maybe we can find somewhere to drop you off along the way.
BOMBER: That would be great.
SPIDER: That would be awesome.
Uh, where are you guys headed? North.
Pretty nice boat you've got here, Finn.
What do you do for a crust? Finn's just chartered it from us.
He's on a fishing trip.
Yeah, cool.
So, where were you two headed? Uh, Papua.
Holiday? Honeymoon, actually.
Right.
Isn't that nice! Newlyweds.
Great.
Where'd you meet? In a restaurant.
Bec here is a cook.
(LAUGHS) You must have lost your wedding rings.
Yeah.
Yes, funny story, actually.
Uh, the groom left them in the cab on his bucks' night.
Yeah, dumb me, eh? Massive night.
That's a hard one to live down.
Yeah, you bet.
Lost your wedding rings, boat sinks on your honeymoon you two were meant to be.
Yeah, right, um Hasn't exactly been a great start, but No, but we are going to work through it, aren't we, Bec? Sure, Billy.
(LAUGHS) Perhaps you could cook me a meal, then.
You are a chef? Yeah.
You'd be doing me a huge favour.
Gracie here can barely open a can of baked beans.
Look, it'd be my pleasure.
But maybe we should try and get the radio working first, yeah? Yeah, I could give it a shot.
I'm pretty good with electrics.
Ben's working on it.
Right.
Well, it's just obviously we're holding you up, so I'm just Food first.
Sure.
(WHISPERS) You reckon they're suss? What do you reckon? "What do you do for a crust?" "I kill people who ask stupid questions.
" Yeah, right.
Don't get snaky, OK? It's not my fault we're in this situation.
Just keep it simple.
No more surprises like "We're on our honeymoon.
" If in doubt, shut up, don't say anything.
Sorry.
I'm just I can't lie to save myself.
Unfortunately, Spider, this is the one time where you have to.
How's my meal coming along? Just reducing the sauce.
Looks edible.
Done alright for yourself here, young fella.
Beccy's a fox.
Yeah, she is.
Knows her way around a puttanesca sauce.
Gotta love that.
Actually it's arrabbiata, which is Italian for 'enraged' My mistake.
Look, I don't like people messing around in my kitchen, so why don't you just go and relax and we'll bring it down to you? What a chef.
Thanks.
Yuck.
Their radio's not broken.
They just don't want us to use it.
I thought that was pretty obvious.
Bomber, I can't do this much longer.
We have to get to the radio and call for help.
It's the only way.
OK, they picked us up by accident.
He's on the run, and now we're witnesses.
I don't think they're gonna let us go.
Obviously.
We need to get to the helm and make sure they're all busy long enough for us to get to the radio.
Have you got any ideas? I reckon I do.
One, two.
(ENGINE PURRS) Best I could come up with under the circumstances.
Hope it's OK.
There's a serve for Ben too.
He's busy.
Um Yum.
Learn a new word today, Gracie? (AIRCRAFT ENGINE DRONES) Finn! Finn? Finn, that was a Coastwatch plane.
I thought you said you didn't make a mayday call.
No, we didn't.
Maybe it's not looking for them.
(BOAT ENGINE ENGINE STRUGGLES) Oh, what now? Gotta shut the engine down.
(ENGINE POWERS DOWN) Give us a hand, will you? Give me a hand, will ya? BEN: What? Bloody fanbelt's busted.
You tell me you can fix it.
I got a rendezvous to make.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure I've got a spare here somewhere.
What are you looking at?! Ah, shit.
I know where it is.
It's OK.
MAN: (OVER RADIO) All ships, all ships, man overboard.
What the hell? Finn! Please keep a lookout for two navy sailors Give me the radio.
Get off me! Give me the radio now! Let go of me! Give it to me.
Oh! All ships, all ships, man overboard.
Please keep a lookout for two navy sailors, one male, one female.
Repeat, two navy sailors.
Please respond.
Navy? Well, that explains the food.
Ben, if you wouldn't mind fixing the fanbelt.
No need for games.
I know who you are.
You know who I am.
It's been a pleasure.
Yes.
Yep, understood.
X, Captain.
Sir.
X, Coastwatch has spotted a vessel in the search area.
It's not responding to calls.
Make an approach.
See if they've spotted our sailors.
Nav will give you the directions.
Standing by.
From your current position, course 280, range three miles.
Did you copy that? Let's go.
Let's get there.
Righto.
Finn, I don't know about this, mate.
Not my problem.
Well, why don't we just drop them off somewhere? Great idea, and these two blab to their mates and you two get charged with conspiracy.
Well, what do you suggest we do, then? You know what to do.
Make sure they never surface.
Just make them vanish.
But we're not gonna tell anyone.
We promise.
You saved our lives.
God, we owe you for that.
Please.
Darling, it's not my problem.
BEN: Who is it? Get down.
Who is it? Get down.
Who is it? Navy.
They're navy for sure.
You two, you need to play happy couples on a fishing trip, right? You two, get inside.
You stay down.
Crawl! Go! Gracie, get some tape.
XO: We have them in our sights.
There are two people on board.
CO: (OVER RADIO) Make your approach.
Get us in there, righto! Keep moving.
We're moving.
Not a sound out of you.
You're a legend, aren't you? I'm just a guy with a gun.
Come on, Spider.
Gracie, I know you're a good person.
Are you really gonna let? He's right.
No! I should have let you drown.
Get upstairs.
Afternoon! Coastwatch have been trying to raise you on the radio.
Oh, yeah, our radio's stuffed.
Do you mind if we come aboard? Er sure.
Are you alone? Is there anyone else on board? Just me and the missus.
Ma'am, can you come outside, please? What's the problem? Two sailors have been lost overboard in this area.
Jeez, that's Friends of yours or? Fellow sailors, yes.
That's terrible.
You haven't seen any sign of them at all, have you? No.
Sorry.
Right.
Can you give us any idea of your course? lt'll help us with our search.
Um It's on the GPS.
Do you mind if I take a look? Thank you.
(FOOTSTEPS OVERHEAD) (GRUNTS) OK, let's go! It's no luck here, sir.
CO: (ON RADIO) Yeah, got that, X.
Make your way back.
Yes, sir.
Is this yours? Been looking for that.
Thank you.
Good luck finding your mates, eh? Yes, sir.
Yeah, Buffer, there's been another phone call for you.
From the hospital.
Um, why don't you use my cabin? lt'll give you more privacy.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, and, Buffer, we can't return to shore until we find our sailors.
Of course.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
We have done a thorough search of the area.
We found the overalls, but we Do you think it's time we made contact with the families? Mum? WOMAN: Is that you, Peter? Yes, Mum.
It's me.
Are you getting plenty of rest? (WEARILY) Yes.
I-I I wanted to call to say goodbye.
You just need to get your strength up.
It's alright, Peter.
I've accepted this and I need you to accept it too.
You'll be alright, Mum.
Just some healing time and you'll be OK.
Oh, darling.
I would've liked to have seen you just one more time.
Look, I'm not sure when.
We're in the middle of a search right now.
Peter, you'll be OK without me.
I wish I was there, Mum.
RO: (ON VIDEO) The ship's journal (KNOCK AT DOOR) RO, I've got an OPREP here from NAVCOM.
What have you got there? It's Bomber.
Recorded this for the ship's journal this morning.
You're not giving up on them, are you? No, of course I'm not.
OK, can I get this signal off, and then report to the bridge for lookout duty.
(BOMBER TALKS ON VIDEO) What is that? It's her birthday present.
Her mum got it for her.
BOMBER: I haven't spoken to her for a while.
They're on that boat.
Oi, do you mind? And you're sure it's the same bracelet? Absolutely.
100%.
Nav, are they still on radar? Yes, sir, they're heading in a northerly direction.
And how long will it take us to get there? At full speed, about 10 minutes.
Change course.
Head directly for that cruiser.
Yes, sir.
We'll prepare for insertion.
Port 10.
Steer 270.
OK, let's go.
Revolutions 2000.
Let's go get our people.
You dropped something.
Do you like it? I got it this morning.
You keep it.
It'll look better on you anyway.
Please, just let us go.
Please.
Just convince him to drop us off at some land.
We're not gonna tell anybody.
We'll just say we drifted about, Gracie.
Gracie, don't let them wreck your life like this.
Keep your voice down, or I'll have to put those gags back on.
Oh.
Some 21 st.
What are you whingeing about? You got to go swimming, meet some new people, got tied up.
What more could you want? I don't know, I just keep thinking about my mum.
Imagine how she'll feel.
Don't think like that, Bomb.
I haven't spoken to her in three years.
We had some dumb fight.
What if I never get to speak to her again? You will get to speak to her again.
Yeah? And then you'll probably lose your temper, have another argument, and then not speak to her for another three years.
That's the way.
We look out for each other, right? Yep.
Yep.
Should come through any second.
Sorry about your mum.
Thanks.
(RADIO BLEEPS) Leading Seaman Robert Dixon.
'Hammersley' Yep, I've got him with me now.
I'll put him on.
It's Dr Taylor.
Peter Tomashevski.
I understand.
She was peaceful? Good.
Thanks, RO.
Are you OK? Yep.
It's alright if you want to sit this one out.
Not while Bomber and Spider are still out there.
Boarding party ready, sir.
CO: (ON RADIO) Captain, copy.
Why have we stopped? There's a dinghy at the stern.
You need to get out of here before my husband does something really stupid.
Where's Finn? I'll take care of Finn.
What are you saying, Gracie? What have they got planned? I'll cop conspiracy, but I won't be an accessory to murder.
Quick.
You've got to draw them away from the back of the boat.
What do I do? Please, Gracie.
Do you have spare anchor chain? Yeah, of course.
It'd be in the forward hold, right? OK, so say you need their help to get it out.
You want to use it to weigh us down when you throw us over the side so we don't float.
They won't go for that.
They will.
Yeah.
You can do it, Gracie.
Come on.
BEN: Yo, Finn! Finn! Cheers, buddy.
It's your ticket out of here, mate.
You're out of here! (LAUGHS) Guys, I'm gonna use the anchor chain to tie them down.
I need your help.
Is that OK? Let's do it.
Go.
They're stealing the dinghy.
Finn, they're stealing the dinghy! BOMBER: Get off him! Spider! Go, Bomber! Guess you're coming with me.
Start it up.
(MOTOR REVS) Where are we going? Shut up! NAV: There's Bomber.
He's taken her hostage.
X, Captain.
Stand by.
Await my order to insert.
XO: Roger, sir.
Standing by ready to insert.
They're heading toward the seaplane, sir, Nav, come hard right.
Let's block its path.
Sir.
We're gonna box him in against the coastline, prevent him from landing.
I'm not getting on that plane with you.
You won't be my first, sweetheart.
Coming up to maximum speed, Charge.
Looking good for 27 knots, sir.
Seaplane, this is Australian warship 'Hammersley', Abort your landing.
I say again, abort your landing.
Take up! What's happening? What are they doing? PILOT: They're trying to stop me landing.
Go round them.
I can't land in a crosswind.
I've got nowhere to go.
I don't care! Just do whatever you have to.
Just get that thing down here.
He's aborting.
No! X, Captain.
Insert boarding party.
Go, go, go.
Back to the launch.
Now! Fast! Come on! Get out of here! Come on, navy man! BUFFER: Put the weapon down or we will shoot! XO: Put the weapon down.
Put it down! Put it down, sir! Come on, navy! (GUNSHOT) You are now the property of the Australian Navy.
Understand? (GRUNTS) Cuffs.
Get 'em in.
Boy, is Spider gonna have a major headache.
He saved my bacon out there.
So did you.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, I don't know.
Think it might have been a bit of a Buffer special.
I like your bracelet.
Yeah.
Mum gave it to me.
You close to your mum? Yeah.
For a minute there, I thought I wasn't gonna get the chance to say thank you to her.
But she made sure it got to me just in time.
That was great.
Yeah.
