Sea Patrol (2007) s05e02 Episode Script
Eye for an Eye
XO: This is the Australian Navy.
Stop or heave to - we intend to board you.
Pull over, you idiot.
Ah! Ah, no.
Sir, we can't safely get on.
Over.
I can see that, X.
Sir, signal in from NAVCOM.
It's been confirmed as stolen.
Permission granted for direct disabling fire.
Thank you very much.
Charge, jump on the Typhoon.
Train it on their engine.
With pleasure, sir.
'Thunder' and 'Lightning', steer clear of their stern.
We're going to disable their engine.
Over.
XO: Alright, let's get out of the way! All people clear, sir.
Aim at target.
Very good.
One short burst of disabling fire.
Engage.
XO: Good shooting, 'Hammersley'.
Engine disabled.
Over.
Roger that, X.
Insert the snatch party.
And take care - they've got a hostage.
Over.
Australian Navy! XO: Port side, Dutchy.
Back off or I'll cut her throat! Weapon down.
The game's up.
Put it down! Let her go! Put it down Dutchy! Just stay there! Dutchy! (GROANS) I'm OK.
I'm OK.
Bella! Face down! She's dead, X.
(SCREAMS) (THEME MUSIC) You killed my baby sister.
You killed a McGinley.
I'm gonna do you.
Get him outta here.
Hey, hey! Come on! Come on.
She was his sister.
Kate, they robbed a casino at gunpoint and took a croupier hostage.
So we jump on board, right, and we're busy getting this heavy-Iooking dude with the hostage under control.
Good choice, Birdie.
Then this other dude pops up out of nowhere.
Turns out to be a chick, right? Unloads into Dutchy's Kevlar.
Bang, bang! He goes down.
The X doesn't even hesitate.
She spins around.
(IMITATES GUNSHOTS) Takes the mother out.
X, I just wanted to say I think you did a great job today.
Well, I don't wanna discuss it.
Yeah? Are you OK? Um, yeah.
I No, I'm not.
Don't worry about McGinley.
He can't hurt you.
It's not him.
It's her.
It was self-defence.
You had no option but to shoot her.
You did exactly what you were trained to do.
You reacted appropriately.
Yeah, I'm just not coping.
Oh, Kate.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Do we, um Do we know anything about her? The police don't think she was involved in the actual robbery.
They believe she stole the getaway boat, drove it.
How old was she? We'll get a full debrief when we get back to NAVCOM.
You know, I don't think that I'm CO material after all.
Navy doesn't penalise people for doing their job.
You rescued a hostage.
Don't forget that.
Yeah, but if being a leader is about making unambiguous decisions, I don't know if I have that in me.
I'm sorry.
I'll come back later.
No, no, no.
X, it's alright.
I'm not shy.
Look, I just came to see how you are.
I've been a bit distracted since the shooting, and then I suddenly realised that I didn't ask how you were.
But you look fine.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Swain's checked me over.
There's no broken ribs.
Just some bruising where the bullet hit the Kevlar.
Yeah.
Would have been a lot worse without those extra plates.
I'm glad you're OK.
Hey, X? Yeah? Her next shot probably would have gone straight through my head.
Thanks for having my back today.
I just wish that it never happened.
Sir, just received an alert from Coastwatch.
They've spotted what they believe to be a burning boat at those coordinates.
ETA to target, X? (TAPS KEYBOARD) (COMPUTER BLEEPS) Approximately 30 minutes, sir.
RO, let Coastwatch know we're responding.
RO: Sir.
Port 30.
Steer 275.
Revolutions 1-8-0-0.
Port 30.
Steer 275.
Revolutions 1-8-0-0.
XO: There's no survivors down here, sir.
Given the debris, it looks like there was an explosion.
DUTCHY: It's gotta be the Federal Police launch that was transporting our prisoners.
It's the only one in the area.
Widen the search area and keep looking.
I'll alert Coastwatch to set up a coordinated search.
Copy that, sir.
MIKE: We suspect McGinley's responsible, but until forensic tests on the wreckage we retrieved can be finalised, we won't know for sure what caused the fire.
Well, Coastwatch are conducting an ongoing search using all available vessels.
So far, still no-one's been recovered.
My guess is they were incinerated in the explosion.
What a disaster.
Ma'am, are you able to give us any more background on the two men we took into custody? Ah, the two men were identified as Heath McGinley and Warren Caldicott.
Both have form for armed robbery, although McGinley is considered the ringleader and the far more dangerous of the two.
And the woman? Identified as Isabelle McGinley, Heath's younger sister.
As far as the police could tell us, she had no criminal background, although they believe she stole the cruiser.
And she shot Dutchy.
Yes, of course.
How old was she? (WHISPERS) 20! Lieutenant McGregor, I can imagine what you must be going through.
But it seems to me that you acted appropriately under the circumstances.
Thank you, ma'am.
I am recommending that you avail yourself of the psychological counselling Navy provides.
I expect you will need it.
It's not an easy thing to come to terms with, Kate.
No.
Maxine, I've reassured Kate that this will have no bearing on her promotion.
The way I see it, Lieutenant McGregor took decisive action to resolve a crisis situation and preserve the lives of her colleagues.
If anything, it should enhance her chances with the board.
MAN: Bird! Ryan? What the Pretty cool, hey? So you finally caved to the pressures from your mother! You can call me Midshipman White.
You actually graduated from Naval College? Just about to start my junior warfare officer training.
Mmm! Just as well you're not on 'Hammersley'.
I'd hate to get stuck with you.
Yeah, that would fully suck.
So I just signed off.
Where are you heading now? Uh, see my mum.
Ah, Commander White.
Good luck keeping that quiet.
Don't think I get any special favours.
Yeah, right.
Dead set.
Officer accommodation's full.
I get bumped to enlisted junior singles.
Goat Central? That's where I live! Why is it called Goat Central? Use your imagination.
You'll find out soon enough.
So I'll see you there, then.
Yeah.
Well, I guess we'll have a hard time avoiding each other.
XO: Ryan.
Hey, Bird! You heading home? Yes, ma'am.
I've got my car if you want a ride.
Oh, cool.
Thanks.
Obviously his mum and Commander Flynn have, like, totally been twisting his arm or something.
Well, I got the impression last year that Ryan might have been keen on you.
Are you saying he joined the navy because Watch out! (SHRIEKS) Hey! What are you doing? Kate! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Flex it back.
Forward.
No pain? No pain.
It is fine.
I told you, Swain, I just fell heavily on it.
That's all OK.
Wrecked your uniform.
Fortunately I have others.
Make and model of the car? XO AND BIRD: It was blue.
I got a rego as he was driving away.
Good work, Bird.
Thank you, sir.
But it's the X that deserves the praise.
She saved my life.
Thanks, Bird.
Now, if you're sure you're unhurt, go and do an incident report with Swain.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks again, X.
You're absolutely sure it was Heath McGinley? It was him.
He didn't die in that explosion.
So he must have back-up, 'cause someone helped spring him from the federal coppers.
Which begs the question - what happened to the missing feds? X, I want you to stay on 'Hammersley' within the protective confines of the base.
What?! McGinley is clearly targeting you because of your role in his sister's death.
Well, for how long? Until the police locate him.
What about my shore leave? And I don't have any clothes here.
It's not up for debate.
If these people have murdered the feds, who knows what they're capable of? Dutchy, go to her apartment, pick up whatever she needs.
Alright.
I'll go with him.
No, it's too risky.
Make him a list.
You're staying on the boat.
Hey! (STARTS ENGINE) What was he doing in Kate's apartment? I reckon he was there before I arrived.
The place wasn't trashed, so I guess he was waiting for you.
Well, the police got back to me about the car.
It was stolen, of course.
Yeah, no surprises there.
And they've put out an alert on McGinley.
You are definitely to stay on this boat until he's apprehended.
Boss, I've got the ASIO agent Madelaine Cruise and Captain Roth outside, wanting to speak with you.
Show them to the wardroom, please.
Madelaine Cruise? I wonder what she wants.
Something to do with the terrorist bombing recently.
Madelaine.
Captain.
Captain Flynn, thanks for making the time.
Hi, Kate.
Shall we go in? You're not required for this briefing, Petty Officer.
If it's about what happened last week, then I should be.
It's above your security clearance.
I remind you this briefing should remain highly classified.
Any breach in confidentiality could result in endangering personnel currently working in the field.
My arse, basically.
We wouldn't wanna jeopardise that.
The bombing you witnessed last week was unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg my department is investigating in conjunction with the SAS operatives seconded to us.
We believe the terrorist organisation that we've infiltrated has already established a sleeper cell on home soil.
Well, that's more serious than I thought.
Serious indeed.
So, what can we do to help? Well, we may call on your assistance again in the coming months.
In the meantime, keep a look-out for this man.
We believe he's the head of the local cell.
Do we have a name? Only a code name.
Mushia.
He could be ferrying explosives and other gear to equip his crew under the guise of illegal entry vessels or foreign fishing vessels.
Alright.
So, do we have authority to arrest him? It's a watching brief at this stage.
If you see anything suspicious, let us know.
How can we contact you? I'll be working out of NAVCOM for the duration of the operation.
I'll let Lieutenant McGregor show you out.
Well, looks like we'll be seeing more of each other, then.
Yeah, life's like that.
I don't know what your problem is with me, but you've got one.
Let's just say you're a bad security risk and leave it at that, shall we? WOMAN: Whoo! we're just in time for some social interaction.
What's going on here? for the incoming residents.
Don't you read the social calendar? I like to be spontaneous.
Let's go mix it up! Ladies! Now, I didn't introduce myself.
MAN: Yeeeew! I can, uh recommend the double-smoked frankfurters.
They're edible.
Thanks.
(LAUGHS) Um, I'm a chef, so I'm picky.
The scran is generally pretty good here.
The best part about it is you don't have to cook it yourself.
Yeah, you're right.
So are you moving in, or No, I'm actually here to see a mate.
You know Bungy? There are about 15 Bungys here.
I don't even know them all.
Well, I'm Corey.
A one-off.
Bird.
Jessica Bird.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Look who I found just wandering around! I've been looking for you! Uh, Corey, this is Ryan and Leo.
Leo serves with me on 'Hammersley' and Ryan's just enlisted.
What do you do, Corey? I'm actually in a related field.
I race Thundercats for a living.
You're kidding! I've got a mate who does that.
How'd you get that gig? I don't know.
Just talented, I guess.
Modest too! So, do you have, like, a sponsor and all that? Yeah, I've got a couple.
How fast do those things go? Um, flat water, I've had her about up to 50 knots.
(MUTTERS) 50 knots! So, what about a spin around the harbour? Well, I was Oh, what about us? We'd be keen to come along too.
Sorry, boys.
There's only room for one passenger.
It's like that, is it? Well, then Ryan here will have to challenge you guys.
What? To a drag race on the water - us versus you.
First thing tomorrow morning.
Are you Alright, let's do it! Cool! Are you insane?! Dude, are you just gonna let her walk away? You gotta compete, man, if you wanna impress the chicks, yeah? Even if I wanted to, I don't have a boat.
I know where we can get a fast boat.
Don't worry about it.
What, are you serious? Where'd you get this boat? I told you - a mate.
Does he know you've got it? He-hey! Check it out! Oh, he did show up.
Nice boat.
COREY: You seriously up for this? You bet! What's the course? Stay parallel to the point, then three laps around the orange buoys then back out to the point.
Got it? You're on.
Ryan, sure you're up for this? You know how to drive a boat? (LAUGHS) Course he does! His mother's an admiral, for freak's sake! I'm just asking.
We're gonna crush your spirits, kids.
Alright, let's do it! (REVS ENGINE) Hold onto your skirts, ladies! Go! (LAUGHS WILDLY) Oh, we're killing 'em, mate! We're killing 'em! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Hold on! Oh, my God! Oh, we gotta get to the girl! Gotta get to the girl! (LAUGHS) Alright! Yeah! Whoo! Here we go! What are you doing? What do you think? I'm trying to catch them! (SIREN WHOOPS) MAN: This is the police.
Stop your engines.
Corey, the cops! What? The cops! (SIREN WHOOPS) Shit.
Hang on! Hang on! I repeat - stop your engine.
Ignore them! Go, go, go! But it's the police! Ignore them! Go, go, go! (COUGHS) (SIREN WHOOPS) (CREW CHEER AND APPLAUD) MAN: Hey! 2Dads, done it again! Alright, knock it off! (MUTTERS) Good luck.
You're lucky they didn't charge you.
Yes, sir.
setting a positive example for your younger colleagues.
With respect, sir, that's exactly what I was trying to do - I was looking out for Ryan.
Ryan? Your godson.
Don't be a smartarse, Leader.
I know who Ryan is.
Sir, it was all my idea.
I just He was trying to impress Bird and Bird's involved too? Yeah.
She was hanging out with this hot shot racer guy.
I just thought I know where you're going with this, and it stops right now.
(WHISPERS) Yes, sir.
No more drag racing on the inlet or anywhere else.
Understood? Yes, sir.
And if Bird or Ryan get into any trouble whatsoever, I will hold you personally responsible.
Is THAT understood? (MUTTERS) Yes, sir.
Now, shape up, 2Dads, or you will never earn the respect of your peers.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) Hey, 2Dads! All hail! (ALL CHEER) Yeah! Mate, I'm sorry I pissed off on you.
I didn't know what else to do.
That's good instinct, man.
It would have been a whole lot worse if they'd binned both of us.
How was Mike? Strangely unimpressed.
I've got two weeks of cleaning detail.
How are you doing, buddy? No good, obviously.
Ah, well.
You gotta hang in there, buddy.
Pretty soon she's gonna get sick of all that cool, rampant masculinity, and when she does Hey, 2Dads! No hard feelings about today, yeah? You've won me over, mate.
Cheers.
(LAUGHS) What happened to "cool, rampant masculinity" and whatever? Come on, guys.
Let's dance.
Come on.
Come on, let's go! (LAUGHS) Seems McGinley's gone to ground.
Probably hiding out somewhere.
(SNIFFS) Mmm.
Would you like me to take a look at your statement for the hearing? (SIGHS) That's as far as I've got.
I can't stop thinking about HER.
Isabelle McGinley made bad choices.
Yeah, I know, and she contributed to her own death.
But at the same time, I can't stop wondering other things about her.
You know, things like You know, did she have a job? Was she studying at university? Was she bright? Did she have a boyfriend or someone that she loved Kate like her mother? Kate, you're identifying with the victim.
You're obsessing.
It isn't healthy.
Healthy?! She's not healthy.
She's dead! (SIGHS) Have you made an appointment with the counsellor? I'm stuck on a ship, remember? (SINGS) # I was walking on a wall! # Dancing and tai chi! Form of medication! Ryan, can you get him out? He's gonna drown.
(LAUGHS) No, I think he's OK! Oi! Thanks, guys.
BIRD: Careful with his head.
Careful with his head.
Hey.
Hey, you right? I'm chilled.
He's maggotted.
Come on, I'm taking you to your room.
Get up! Do you want me to come with you or (GRUNTS) No, it's alright.
I got it.
I don't want you to miss the jelly shots.
Jelly shots? (WHIMPERS) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS AND YELPS) Dutchy? Sir? Have you seen the X? No, sir.
(MUFFLED SHOUT) (THUD!) Kate? Kate! Hey! Are you hurt? Go, go! I think I'm OK.
Did he cut you? No.
Hey! Stop or I'll shoot! Stop! Stop or I'll shoot! (THUD!) No, it wasn't McGinley.
What about his accomplice, Caldicott? Nup.
This guy was younger and I've never seen him before.
We've got this security footage from the guardhouse.
Maybe one of us can identify him.
Yeah, I'm just cueing it up now, sir.
Uh, sir, feds have some news for us.
They found the two police officers from the launch that exploded tied up on a remote stretch of beach up Lakefield way.
What, so they weren't killed? Apparently a guy in a Thundercat pretending to have some engine trouble ambushed them and sprung McGinley and his mate.
That's gotta be our guy, hasn't it? Did they identify him? No criminal record.
But they've done a photofit, which they're gonna send over for you to have a look at.
OK, here we go.
So this is from the guardhouse.
It starts at 0000, but I've cued it up to here.
Let's see who you are.
XO: I think that that is the guy that attacked me.
He's got the same build, and the way he moves Yeah.
I agree.
shore leave's been cancelled.
(KNOCKS) Come on, 2Dads! (CONTINUES KNOCKING) Open the door! You just woke up! I feel like crap.
I think somebody spiked my drink.
Which one? No.
No, I know what a hangover is supposed to feel like.
This is not You know what? I'm not waiting for you.
I don't wanna be late.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
You go, I'll catch up.
I gotta go throw up.
(HEAVES) Hey! Hey! Where did you get to last night? Uh um, I got stuck playing poker with 2Dads.
Sorry.
No, that's OK.
I can't chat.
I'm actually running really late for work.
I've, um I've got my car if you wanted a lift.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Cool.
XO: Just wondering if there's any more security footage from around the base.
Sir, X - the feds have sent over that photofit for you to have a look at.
Yeah, that's him.
Yeah, that's the guy that attacked me.
So we know he's a cohort of McGinley's.
But who the hell is he? Sir, got the guardhouse on the phone.
They've got a sailor at the gate who's lost his ID.
Says his name's Leo Kosov-Meyer.
Sir, I don't know how I lost my gear.
I think somebody spiked my drink.
The next thing I knew, I was wearing a toga.
(BOTH SNIGGER) I lost that too.
You realise your ID may have been used by the man who attacked the X? Ever seen this guy before? I know that guy.
That's Corey.
He must have drugged me and then taken my uniform and ID.
Who is Corey? The Thundercat guy.
Bird's friend.
And where's Bird? Isn't she on the ship? Uh, boss? Bird still hasn't shown up for work today.
Checked the galley, her cabin.
She's not answering her phone.
Sir, she left for work before I did.
She should be here.
RO, get onto the harbourmaster and water police.
See if anybody's sighted this Thundercat.
Sir, I You were supposed to be looking out for her! Get dressed.
(SIGHS) Why would Corey take Bird, ma'am? Well, we don't know for sure that he has.
If anything happens to her, I'm responsible.
No.
None of this is your fault.
Whoever this Corey is, his agenda from the start has been to identify a member of the 'Hammersley' crew and use them to get at me.
I wish the boss saw it that way.
Ah, he'll come around.
Believe me, he's done his fair share of toga partying.
For real? (CHUCKLES) Oh, yeah.
Just don't tell him that I told you.
Ma'am? Mmm? I hope you get promoted.
You'll make an awesome CO.
Thanks.
I ran the name 'Corey' by the Feds.
They think it's Heath McGinley's brother.
And the brother of the dead girl.
Yeah, that explains a lot.
Sir, water police received a report about a Thundercat doing Did they say where it was headed? Yeah, out to sea.
A man and a young woman on board.
Sir, that has to be Bird.
X, mobilise for sea.
We need to find this boat.
COREY: Stay there! Hey! Hey, come here! Come here! (SHRIEKS) Get off me! Corey, what are we doing here? Shut up! What's she doing here? I can explain.
Things didn't go to plan.
I KNEW I couldn't trust you with this! I know, I screwed up.
But she's too well protected on that boat.
Just listen! I've got a plan.
(YELPS) Just listen, Heath.
Listen.
We can use her to lure that bitch who killed Bella here.
If you had an IQ that was greater than room temperature, you'd realise she won't come alone.
She'll be coming with a warship! (YELPS) I thought that DON'T THINK! Whoa, whoa! What are you doing? You're not gonna kill her! Please don't hurt me! I'm really sorry about what happened to your sister, but I had nothing to do with it.
Shut up.
Someone's gonna pay for this.
And seeing as though you're here, it might as well be you.
Whoa, whoa, Heath! Wait, Heath, wait.
I'm not killing innocent people.
You should have thought of that before you brought her here.
She's a witness now.
Heath, please.
Listen to me - whacking this chick is not gonna bring Belle back.
We're always gonna know the one we want is still out there.
Please, mate! Back off! Someone has to pay.
RO, get onto Reef Vessel Traffic Services and Coastwatch.
See if they can assist in finding this Thundercat.
Right away, sir.
Sir, we have no idea where they could be headed.
Um, I've got an idea.
What is it? Corey McGinley and Bird on that Thundercat, right? Now, my guess is that they are heading for a rendezvous with Heath somewhere.
You know, somewhere Secluded.
Where he could be hiding.
Except they're now both wanted for attempted murder.
They'd be heading out of the country as soon as possible, wouldn't they? The boat's built for speed, not distance, so they'd have to refuel somewhere.
OK, when we intercepted Heath after the robbery, he was at these coordinates on a bearing of 025.
Heading for a rendezvous with Corey.
So now if we extrapolate that course (COMPUTER BEEPS) Harewood Island is on the way.
Where they could have had extra fuel stashed all along.
Which they wouldn't have used, because they decided to take their revenge out on the X.
Plot a course to Harewood.
It's worth a shot.
(TAPS KEYBOARD) It's an aerial photo just sent through from Coastwatch.
Looks like a jetty.
And there's Corey's boat tied up to it.
OK, let's get the RHIBs in the water.
We'll remain out of sight behind the headlands.
XO: Hands to boarding stations.
We've gotta grab these targets before they get to the boat.
DUTCHY: Charge, you head for the beach.
Over.
XO: Take us in alongside the jetty so we can't be seen from the shore.
CHARGE: X, we've got movement to the south.
Two targets approaching the jetty.
XO: Right, copy that.
Everyone is to move on my command.
Charge? CHARGE: Charge copy.
When they reach the jetty, you're to move in from behind.
Roger that, ma'am.
We're there.
Standing by.
CHARGE: Roger.
Go, go, go, go! Australian Navy! Drop the cans! You put your hands where we can see them.
Now! Do as she says! We've got you covered.
Get down.
Couldn't get to you.
But I got your Bird.
Where is she? WHERE IS SHE? You'll find her in that old shed at the end of the jetty.
Then you'll know what it feels like to lose someone you care about.
If you've killed her Heath! No! Heath, Heath! Heath! (MOANS) SWAIN: X! (GASPS) (SHRIEKS) (SPRAYS) (SCREAMS IN PAIN) My eyes! Help the X! You OK? You alright, X? I'm OK! Oh, my eyes! (SCREAMS) You OK? Swain! We need to find Bird.
I'll come with you, X.
No! No, 2Dads, you stay here.
Oh, Bird! Are you hurt? Heath was gonna kill me, but Corey talked him out of it.
You're safe.
You're safe.
So, you've got a promotion AND a holiday to look forward to.
Tahiti looks nice.
Were you snooping around my flat? (LAUGHS) I wasn't snooping.
I can't help it if I'm observant.
Oh, you WERE snooping! What else did you discover about me? Oh, nothing I don't know already.
Oh, is that right? Enjoy your shore leave.
Thanks, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, and, guys - see if you can make it uneventful.
Yes, ma'am.
Behave, chicken legs.
So, Bird, I don't want you to take this as criticism at all, but you have crap taste in men.
What? Yeah.
No, forget it, 2Dads.
I've done the older guy thing and I'm just I can't do it.
No, I'm not suggesting me.
I'm talking about Ryan.
Have you not noticed? The guy is totally hot for you.
Yeah.
He's really sweet.
Oh, see, there you go.
You've got that whole bad boy thing going on.
You can't help yourself, right? No, no.
I just like a guy with initiative.
Ini He joined the navy to be near you.
Hey.
Hey! Thank God you're OK! (LAUGHS AWKWARDLY) So, um, you should probably buy me a drink, then.
I'll leave you guys to it.
O OK.
Great.
Yeah, well great! (LAUGHS) OK.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR) I'm heading off.
Ah, X, can I see you for a moment, please? Yeah.
This about the inquiry? No.
No, that'll take some time.
How you feeling? I'm OK.
Yeah, I think I've figured out that I can be a leader and have compassion.
It's a question of balance.
It's not either/or.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
There is something else.
The promotions signal has come out.
Kate you're not on the list.
(THEME MUSIC)
Stop or heave to - we intend to board you.
Pull over, you idiot.
Ah! Ah, no.
Sir, we can't safely get on.
Over.
I can see that, X.
Sir, signal in from NAVCOM.
It's been confirmed as stolen.
Permission granted for direct disabling fire.
Thank you very much.
Charge, jump on the Typhoon.
Train it on their engine.
With pleasure, sir.
'Thunder' and 'Lightning', steer clear of their stern.
We're going to disable their engine.
Over.
XO: Alright, let's get out of the way! All people clear, sir.
Aim at target.
Very good.
One short burst of disabling fire.
Engage.
XO: Good shooting, 'Hammersley'.
Engine disabled.
Over.
Roger that, X.
Insert the snatch party.
And take care - they've got a hostage.
Over.
Australian Navy! XO: Port side, Dutchy.
Back off or I'll cut her throat! Weapon down.
The game's up.
Put it down! Let her go! Put it down Dutchy! Just stay there! Dutchy! (GROANS) I'm OK.
I'm OK.
Bella! Face down! She's dead, X.
(SCREAMS) (THEME MUSIC) You killed my baby sister.
You killed a McGinley.
I'm gonna do you.
Get him outta here.
Hey, hey! Come on! Come on.
She was his sister.
Kate, they robbed a casino at gunpoint and took a croupier hostage.
So we jump on board, right, and we're busy getting this heavy-Iooking dude with the hostage under control.
Good choice, Birdie.
Then this other dude pops up out of nowhere.
Turns out to be a chick, right? Unloads into Dutchy's Kevlar.
Bang, bang! He goes down.
The X doesn't even hesitate.
She spins around.
(IMITATES GUNSHOTS) Takes the mother out.
X, I just wanted to say I think you did a great job today.
Well, I don't wanna discuss it.
Yeah? Are you OK? Um, yeah.
I No, I'm not.
Don't worry about McGinley.
He can't hurt you.
It's not him.
It's her.
It was self-defence.
You had no option but to shoot her.
You did exactly what you were trained to do.
You reacted appropriately.
Yeah, I'm just not coping.
Oh, Kate.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Do we, um Do we know anything about her? The police don't think she was involved in the actual robbery.
They believe she stole the getaway boat, drove it.
How old was she? We'll get a full debrief when we get back to NAVCOM.
You know, I don't think that I'm CO material after all.
Navy doesn't penalise people for doing their job.
You rescued a hostage.
Don't forget that.
Yeah, but if being a leader is about making unambiguous decisions, I don't know if I have that in me.
I'm sorry.
I'll come back later.
No, no, no.
X, it's alright.
I'm not shy.
Look, I just came to see how you are.
I've been a bit distracted since the shooting, and then I suddenly realised that I didn't ask how you were.
But you look fine.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Swain's checked me over.
There's no broken ribs.
Just some bruising where the bullet hit the Kevlar.
Yeah.
Would have been a lot worse without those extra plates.
I'm glad you're OK.
Hey, X? Yeah? Her next shot probably would have gone straight through my head.
Thanks for having my back today.
I just wish that it never happened.
Sir, just received an alert from Coastwatch.
They've spotted what they believe to be a burning boat at those coordinates.
ETA to target, X? (TAPS KEYBOARD) (COMPUTER BLEEPS) Approximately 30 minutes, sir.
RO, let Coastwatch know we're responding.
RO: Sir.
Port 30.
Steer 275.
Revolutions 1-8-0-0.
Port 30.
Steer 275.
Revolutions 1-8-0-0.
XO: There's no survivors down here, sir.
Given the debris, it looks like there was an explosion.
DUTCHY: It's gotta be the Federal Police launch that was transporting our prisoners.
It's the only one in the area.
Widen the search area and keep looking.
I'll alert Coastwatch to set up a coordinated search.
Copy that, sir.
MIKE: We suspect McGinley's responsible, but until forensic tests on the wreckage we retrieved can be finalised, we won't know for sure what caused the fire.
Well, Coastwatch are conducting an ongoing search using all available vessels.
So far, still no-one's been recovered.
My guess is they were incinerated in the explosion.
What a disaster.
Ma'am, are you able to give us any more background on the two men we took into custody? Ah, the two men were identified as Heath McGinley and Warren Caldicott.
Both have form for armed robbery, although McGinley is considered the ringleader and the far more dangerous of the two.
And the woman? Identified as Isabelle McGinley, Heath's younger sister.
As far as the police could tell us, she had no criminal background, although they believe she stole the cruiser.
And she shot Dutchy.
Yes, of course.
How old was she? (WHISPERS) 20! Lieutenant McGregor, I can imagine what you must be going through.
But it seems to me that you acted appropriately under the circumstances.
Thank you, ma'am.
I am recommending that you avail yourself of the psychological counselling Navy provides.
I expect you will need it.
It's not an easy thing to come to terms with, Kate.
No.
Maxine, I've reassured Kate that this will have no bearing on her promotion.
The way I see it, Lieutenant McGregor took decisive action to resolve a crisis situation and preserve the lives of her colleagues.
If anything, it should enhance her chances with the board.
MAN: Bird! Ryan? What the Pretty cool, hey? So you finally caved to the pressures from your mother! You can call me Midshipman White.
You actually graduated from Naval College? Just about to start my junior warfare officer training.
Mmm! Just as well you're not on 'Hammersley'.
I'd hate to get stuck with you.
Yeah, that would fully suck.
So I just signed off.
Where are you heading now? Uh, see my mum.
Ah, Commander White.
Good luck keeping that quiet.
Don't think I get any special favours.
Yeah, right.
Dead set.
Officer accommodation's full.
I get bumped to enlisted junior singles.
Goat Central? That's where I live! Why is it called Goat Central? Use your imagination.
You'll find out soon enough.
So I'll see you there, then.
Yeah.
Well, I guess we'll have a hard time avoiding each other.
XO: Ryan.
Hey, Bird! You heading home? Yes, ma'am.
I've got my car if you want a ride.
Oh, cool.
Thanks.
Obviously his mum and Commander Flynn have, like, totally been twisting his arm or something.
Well, I got the impression last year that Ryan might have been keen on you.
Are you saying he joined the navy because Watch out! (SHRIEKS) Hey! What are you doing? Kate! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Flex it back.
Forward.
No pain? No pain.
It is fine.
I told you, Swain, I just fell heavily on it.
That's all OK.
Wrecked your uniform.
Fortunately I have others.
Make and model of the car? XO AND BIRD: It was blue.
I got a rego as he was driving away.
Good work, Bird.
Thank you, sir.
But it's the X that deserves the praise.
She saved my life.
Thanks, Bird.
Now, if you're sure you're unhurt, go and do an incident report with Swain.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks again, X.
You're absolutely sure it was Heath McGinley? It was him.
He didn't die in that explosion.
So he must have back-up, 'cause someone helped spring him from the federal coppers.
Which begs the question - what happened to the missing feds? X, I want you to stay on 'Hammersley' within the protective confines of the base.
What?! McGinley is clearly targeting you because of your role in his sister's death.
Well, for how long? Until the police locate him.
What about my shore leave? And I don't have any clothes here.
It's not up for debate.
If these people have murdered the feds, who knows what they're capable of? Dutchy, go to her apartment, pick up whatever she needs.
Alright.
I'll go with him.
No, it's too risky.
Make him a list.
You're staying on the boat.
Hey! (STARTS ENGINE) What was he doing in Kate's apartment? I reckon he was there before I arrived.
The place wasn't trashed, so I guess he was waiting for you.
Well, the police got back to me about the car.
It was stolen, of course.
Yeah, no surprises there.
And they've put out an alert on McGinley.
You are definitely to stay on this boat until he's apprehended.
Boss, I've got the ASIO agent Madelaine Cruise and Captain Roth outside, wanting to speak with you.
Show them to the wardroom, please.
Madelaine Cruise? I wonder what she wants.
Something to do with the terrorist bombing recently.
Madelaine.
Captain.
Captain Flynn, thanks for making the time.
Hi, Kate.
Shall we go in? You're not required for this briefing, Petty Officer.
If it's about what happened last week, then I should be.
It's above your security clearance.
I remind you this briefing should remain highly classified.
Any breach in confidentiality could result in endangering personnel currently working in the field.
My arse, basically.
We wouldn't wanna jeopardise that.
The bombing you witnessed last week was unfortunately just the tip of the iceberg my department is investigating in conjunction with the SAS operatives seconded to us.
We believe the terrorist organisation that we've infiltrated has already established a sleeper cell on home soil.
Well, that's more serious than I thought.
Serious indeed.
So, what can we do to help? Well, we may call on your assistance again in the coming months.
In the meantime, keep a look-out for this man.
We believe he's the head of the local cell.
Do we have a name? Only a code name.
Mushia.
He could be ferrying explosives and other gear to equip his crew under the guise of illegal entry vessels or foreign fishing vessels.
Alright.
So, do we have authority to arrest him? It's a watching brief at this stage.
If you see anything suspicious, let us know.
How can we contact you? I'll be working out of NAVCOM for the duration of the operation.
I'll let Lieutenant McGregor show you out.
Well, looks like we'll be seeing more of each other, then.
Yeah, life's like that.
I don't know what your problem is with me, but you've got one.
Let's just say you're a bad security risk and leave it at that, shall we? WOMAN: Whoo! we're just in time for some social interaction.
What's going on here? for the incoming residents.
Don't you read the social calendar? I like to be spontaneous.
Let's go mix it up! Ladies! Now, I didn't introduce myself.
MAN: Yeeeew! I can, uh recommend the double-smoked frankfurters.
They're edible.
Thanks.
(LAUGHS) Um, I'm a chef, so I'm picky.
The scran is generally pretty good here.
The best part about it is you don't have to cook it yourself.
Yeah, you're right.
So are you moving in, or No, I'm actually here to see a mate.
You know Bungy? There are about 15 Bungys here.
I don't even know them all.
Well, I'm Corey.
A one-off.
Bird.
Jessica Bird.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Look who I found just wandering around! I've been looking for you! Uh, Corey, this is Ryan and Leo.
Leo serves with me on 'Hammersley' and Ryan's just enlisted.
What do you do, Corey? I'm actually in a related field.
I race Thundercats for a living.
You're kidding! I've got a mate who does that.
How'd you get that gig? I don't know.
Just talented, I guess.
Modest too! So, do you have, like, a sponsor and all that? Yeah, I've got a couple.
How fast do those things go? Um, flat water, I've had her about up to 50 knots.
(MUTTERS) 50 knots! So, what about a spin around the harbour? Well, I was Oh, what about us? We'd be keen to come along too.
Sorry, boys.
There's only room for one passenger.
It's like that, is it? Well, then Ryan here will have to challenge you guys.
What? To a drag race on the water - us versus you.
First thing tomorrow morning.
Are you Alright, let's do it! Cool! Are you insane?! Dude, are you just gonna let her walk away? You gotta compete, man, if you wanna impress the chicks, yeah? Even if I wanted to, I don't have a boat.
I know where we can get a fast boat.
Don't worry about it.
What, are you serious? Where'd you get this boat? I told you - a mate.
Does he know you've got it? He-hey! Check it out! Oh, he did show up.
Nice boat.
COREY: You seriously up for this? You bet! What's the course? Stay parallel to the point, then three laps around the orange buoys then back out to the point.
Got it? You're on.
Ryan, sure you're up for this? You know how to drive a boat? (LAUGHS) Course he does! His mother's an admiral, for freak's sake! I'm just asking.
We're gonna crush your spirits, kids.
Alright, let's do it! (REVS ENGINE) Hold onto your skirts, ladies! Go! (LAUGHS WILDLY) Oh, we're killing 'em, mate! We're killing 'em! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Hold on! Oh, my God! Oh, we gotta get to the girl! Gotta get to the girl! (LAUGHS) Alright! Yeah! Whoo! Here we go! What are you doing? What do you think? I'm trying to catch them! (SIREN WHOOPS) MAN: This is the police.
Stop your engines.
Corey, the cops! What? The cops! (SIREN WHOOPS) Shit.
Hang on! Hang on! I repeat - stop your engine.
Ignore them! Go, go, go! But it's the police! Ignore them! Go, go, go! (COUGHS) (SIREN WHOOPS) (CREW CHEER AND APPLAUD) MAN: Hey! 2Dads, done it again! Alright, knock it off! (MUTTERS) Good luck.
You're lucky they didn't charge you.
Yes, sir.
setting a positive example for your younger colleagues.
With respect, sir, that's exactly what I was trying to do - I was looking out for Ryan.
Ryan? Your godson.
Don't be a smartarse, Leader.
I know who Ryan is.
Sir, it was all my idea.
I just He was trying to impress Bird and Bird's involved too? Yeah.
She was hanging out with this hot shot racer guy.
I just thought I know where you're going with this, and it stops right now.
(WHISPERS) Yes, sir.
No more drag racing on the inlet or anywhere else.
Understood? Yes, sir.
And if Bird or Ryan get into any trouble whatsoever, I will hold you personally responsible.
Is THAT understood? (MUTTERS) Yes, sir.
Now, shape up, 2Dads, or you will never earn the respect of your peers.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) Hey, 2Dads! All hail! (ALL CHEER) Yeah! Mate, I'm sorry I pissed off on you.
I didn't know what else to do.
That's good instinct, man.
It would have been a whole lot worse if they'd binned both of us.
How was Mike? Strangely unimpressed.
I've got two weeks of cleaning detail.
How are you doing, buddy? No good, obviously.
Ah, well.
You gotta hang in there, buddy.
Pretty soon she's gonna get sick of all that cool, rampant masculinity, and when she does Hey, 2Dads! No hard feelings about today, yeah? You've won me over, mate.
Cheers.
(LAUGHS) What happened to "cool, rampant masculinity" and whatever? Come on, guys.
Let's dance.
Come on.
Come on, let's go! (LAUGHS) Seems McGinley's gone to ground.
Probably hiding out somewhere.
(SNIFFS) Mmm.
Would you like me to take a look at your statement for the hearing? (SIGHS) That's as far as I've got.
I can't stop thinking about HER.
Isabelle McGinley made bad choices.
Yeah, I know, and she contributed to her own death.
But at the same time, I can't stop wondering other things about her.
You know, things like You know, did she have a job? Was she studying at university? Was she bright? Did she have a boyfriend or someone that she loved Kate like her mother? Kate, you're identifying with the victim.
You're obsessing.
It isn't healthy.
Healthy?! She's not healthy.
She's dead! (SIGHS) Have you made an appointment with the counsellor? I'm stuck on a ship, remember? (SINGS) # I was walking on a wall! # Dancing and tai chi! Form of medication! Ryan, can you get him out? He's gonna drown.
(LAUGHS) No, I think he's OK! Oi! Thanks, guys.
BIRD: Careful with his head.
Careful with his head.
Hey.
Hey, you right? I'm chilled.
He's maggotted.
Come on, I'm taking you to your room.
Get up! Do you want me to come with you or (GRUNTS) No, it's alright.
I got it.
I don't want you to miss the jelly shots.
Jelly shots? (WHIMPERS) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS AND YELPS) Dutchy? Sir? Have you seen the X? No, sir.
(MUFFLED SHOUT) (THUD!) Kate? Kate! Hey! Are you hurt? Go, go! I think I'm OK.
Did he cut you? No.
Hey! Stop or I'll shoot! Stop! Stop or I'll shoot! (THUD!) No, it wasn't McGinley.
What about his accomplice, Caldicott? Nup.
This guy was younger and I've never seen him before.
We've got this security footage from the guardhouse.
Maybe one of us can identify him.
Yeah, I'm just cueing it up now, sir.
Uh, sir, feds have some news for us.
They found the two police officers from the launch that exploded tied up on a remote stretch of beach up Lakefield way.
What, so they weren't killed? Apparently a guy in a Thundercat pretending to have some engine trouble ambushed them and sprung McGinley and his mate.
That's gotta be our guy, hasn't it? Did they identify him? No criminal record.
But they've done a photofit, which they're gonna send over for you to have a look at.
OK, here we go.
So this is from the guardhouse.
It starts at 0000, but I've cued it up to here.
Let's see who you are.
XO: I think that that is the guy that attacked me.
He's got the same build, and the way he moves Yeah.
I agree.
shore leave's been cancelled.
(KNOCKS) Come on, 2Dads! (CONTINUES KNOCKING) Open the door! You just woke up! I feel like crap.
I think somebody spiked my drink.
Which one? No.
No, I know what a hangover is supposed to feel like.
This is not You know what? I'm not waiting for you.
I don't wanna be late.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
You go, I'll catch up.
I gotta go throw up.
(HEAVES) Hey! Hey! Where did you get to last night? Uh um, I got stuck playing poker with 2Dads.
Sorry.
No, that's OK.
I can't chat.
I'm actually running really late for work.
I've, um I've got my car if you wanted a lift.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Cool.
XO: Just wondering if there's any more security footage from around the base.
Sir, X - the feds have sent over that photofit for you to have a look at.
Yeah, that's him.
Yeah, that's the guy that attacked me.
So we know he's a cohort of McGinley's.
But who the hell is he? Sir, got the guardhouse on the phone.
They've got a sailor at the gate who's lost his ID.
Says his name's Leo Kosov-Meyer.
Sir, I don't know how I lost my gear.
I think somebody spiked my drink.
The next thing I knew, I was wearing a toga.
(BOTH SNIGGER) I lost that too.
You realise your ID may have been used by the man who attacked the X? Ever seen this guy before? I know that guy.
That's Corey.
He must have drugged me and then taken my uniform and ID.
Who is Corey? The Thundercat guy.
Bird's friend.
And where's Bird? Isn't she on the ship? Uh, boss? Bird still hasn't shown up for work today.
Checked the galley, her cabin.
She's not answering her phone.
Sir, she left for work before I did.
She should be here.
RO, get onto the harbourmaster and water police.
See if anybody's sighted this Thundercat.
Sir, I You were supposed to be looking out for her! Get dressed.
(SIGHS) Why would Corey take Bird, ma'am? Well, we don't know for sure that he has.
If anything happens to her, I'm responsible.
No.
None of this is your fault.
Whoever this Corey is, his agenda from the start has been to identify a member of the 'Hammersley' crew and use them to get at me.
I wish the boss saw it that way.
Ah, he'll come around.
Believe me, he's done his fair share of toga partying.
For real? (CHUCKLES) Oh, yeah.
Just don't tell him that I told you.
Ma'am? Mmm? I hope you get promoted.
You'll make an awesome CO.
Thanks.
I ran the name 'Corey' by the Feds.
They think it's Heath McGinley's brother.
And the brother of the dead girl.
Yeah, that explains a lot.
Sir, water police received a report about a Thundercat doing Did they say where it was headed? Yeah, out to sea.
A man and a young woman on board.
Sir, that has to be Bird.
X, mobilise for sea.
We need to find this boat.
COREY: Stay there! Hey! Hey, come here! Come here! (SHRIEKS) Get off me! Corey, what are we doing here? Shut up! What's she doing here? I can explain.
Things didn't go to plan.
I KNEW I couldn't trust you with this! I know, I screwed up.
But she's too well protected on that boat.
Just listen! I've got a plan.
(YELPS) Just listen, Heath.
Listen.
We can use her to lure that bitch who killed Bella here.
If you had an IQ that was greater than room temperature, you'd realise she won't come alone.
She'll be coming with a warship! (YELPS) I thought that DON'T THINK! Whoa, whoa! What are you doing? You're not gonna kill her! Please don't hurt me! I'm really sorry about what happened to your sister, but I had nothing to do with it.
Shut up.
Someone's gonna pay for this.
And seeing as though you're here, it might as well be you.
Whoa, whoa, Heath! Wait, Heath, wait.
I'm not killing innocent people.
You should have thought of that before you brought her here.
She's a witness now.
Heath, please.
Listen to me - whacking this chick is not gonna bring Belle back.
We're always gonna know the one we want is still out there.
Please, mate! Back off! Someone has to pay.
RO, get onto Reef Vessel Traffic Services and Coastwatch.
See if they can assist in finding this Thundercat.
Right away, sir.
Sir, we have no idea where they could be headed.
Um, I've got an idea.
What is it? Corey McGinley and Bird on that Thundercat, right? Now, my guess is that they are heading for a rendezvous with Heath somewhere.
You know, somewhere Secluded.
Where he could be hiding.
Except they're now both wanted for attempted murder.
They'd be heading out of the country as soon as possible, wouldn't they? The boat's built for speed, not distance, so they'd have to refuel somewhere.
OK, when we intercepted Heath after the robbery, he was at these coordinates on a bearing of 025.
Heading for a rendezvous with Corey.
So now if we extrapolate that course (COMPUTER BEEPS) Harewood Island is on the way.
Where they could have had extra fuel stashed all along.
Which they wouldn't have used, because they decided to take their revenge out on the X.
Plot a course to Harewood.
It's worth a shot.
(TAPS KEYBOARD) It's an aerial photo just sent through from Coastwatch.
Looks like a jetty.
And there's Corey's boat tied up to it.
OK, let's get the RHIBs in the water.
We'll remain out of sight behind the headlands.
XO: Hands to boarding stations.
We've gotta grab these targets before they get to the boat.
DUTCHY: Charge, you head for the beach.
Over.
XO: Take us in alongside the jetty so we can't be seen from the shore.
CHARGE: X, we've got movement to the south.
Two targets approaching the jetty.
XO: Right, copy that.
Everyone is to move on my command.
Charge? CHARGE: Charge copy.
When they reach the jetty, you're to move in from behind.
Roger that, ma'am.
We're there.
Standing by.
CHARGE: Roger.
Go, go, go, go! Australian Navy! Drop the cans! You put your hands where we can see them.
Now! Do as she says! We've got you covered.
Get down.
Couldn't get to you.
But I got your Bird.
Where is she? WHERE IS SHE? You'll find her in that old shed at the end of the jetty.
Then you'll know what it feels like to lose someone you care about.
If you've killed her Heath! No! Heath, Heath! Heath! (MOANS) SWAIN: X! (GASPS) (SHRIEKS) (SPRAYS) (SCREAMS IN PAIN) My eyes! Help the X! You OK? You alright, X? I'm OK! Oh, my eyes! (SCREAMS) You OK? Swain! We need to find Bird.
I'll come with you, X.
No! No, 2Dads, you stay here.
Oh, Bird! Are you hurt? Heath was gonna kill me, but Corey talked him out of it.
You're safe.
You're safe.
So, you've got a promotion AND a holiday to look forward to.
Tahiti looks nice.
Were you snooping around my flat? (LAUGHS) I wasn't snooping.
I can't help it if I'm observant.
Oh, you WERE snooping! What else did you discover about me? Oh, nothing I don't know already.
Oh, is that right? Enjoy your shore leave.
Thanks, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, and, guys - see if you can make it uneventful.
Yes, ma'am.
Behave, chicken legs.
So, Bird, I don't want you to take this as criticism at all, but you have crap taste in men.
What? Yeah.
No, forget it, 2Dads.
I've done the older guy thing and I'm just I can't do it.
No, I'm not suggesting me.
I'm talking about Ryan.
Have you not noticed? The guy is totally hot for you.
Yeah.
He's really sweet.
Oh, see, there you go.
You've got that whole bad boy thing going on.
You can't help yourself, right? No, no.
I just like a guy with initiative.
Ini He joined the navy to be near you.
Hey.
Hey! Thank God you're OK! (LAUGHS AWKWARDLY) So, um, you should probably buy me a drink, then.
I'll leave you guys to it.
O OK.
Great.
Yeah, well great! (LAUGHS) OK.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR) I'm heading off.
Ah, X, can I see you for a moment, please? Yeah.
This about the inquiry? No.
No, that'll take some time.
How you feeling? I'm OK.
Yeah, I think I've figured out that I can be a leader and have compassion.
It's a question of balance.
It's not either/or.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
There is something else.
The promotions signal has come out.
Kate you're not on the list.
(THEME MUSIC)
