Sea Patrol (2007) s05e11 Episode Script

XO: Alright, visors down.
Go away! Don't come here! Leave us alone.
XO: You have ignored repeated warnings.
You will be boarded.
Repeat, you will be boarded.
MAN: Go away! DUTCHY: Weapons down! DUTCHY: Weapons down! XO: Whoa.
Alright, take us out, take us out! Go away.
Keep away.
DUTCHY: Look out.
(GRUNTS) XO: Whoa! Keep away! Alright, tear gas fore and aft! Go home! Look out.
Go away! Put your weapons down! Please go! Put your weapon down! Put the weapon down! Put your weapons down! Go! RO: Go, go.
I said put those weapons down! CHARGE: Drop your weapons now! Put them down! Down! XO: Alright, move aft.
Don't take our boat! CHARGE: Get down! Get down! Drop your weapon.
Get down on the ground! Get down on the ground now! XO: Down the back.
No, they'll take our boat! Charge! (GRUNTS) You! Stay there.
DUTCHY: Back of the boat.
Move down the back.
DUTCHY: Get down the back.
RO: In you get.
Alright, sir, stand up.
Up.
UP! Move! MAN: They'll kill me.
Are you the master, sir? You the master of this vessel? Yes.
What is your name, sir? Karno.
(SPEAKS LOCAL LANGU AGE) Ma'am, all these barrels are full of sea cucumbers.
Alright, sir.
You are illegally fishing in Australian waters.
You'll be coming with us and your boat will be impounded.
Take him aft! You can't take my boat! RO, make sure you're getting the footage of this.
Yes, ma'am.
Swain, with me.
Let's check out the condition of this boat.
SWAIN: Copy that, X.
You can't take my boat.
Australian fisheries law says we can.
Sorry, mate.
You don't understand! Sir If I lose my boat, they'll kill me! Same old story.
Come here.
Sir, you will be processed If I'm deported the owners will kill me for losing their boat.
We've heard it all before, man.
Please - it's true.
You caught my brother before and you took his boat.
When he got home, they hunted him down and killed him in front of all of us.
Please! Help me.
I'll die and my family will suffer.
Come on, get on.
You did the crime, Karno, you're gonna do the time.
Sit down, mate.
Take it easy.
Step forward.
Why did you take my boat? It was unseaworthy.
Can't see how it stayed afloat.
It was my life.
Not anymore.
Now I'm a dead man.
Karno, in future just stick to fishing in your own waters.
I'm a dead man.
DUTCHY: Next one.
Hey! Hey! Move! Move! Whoa! Whoa! Charge! Charge! Man overboard! Man overboard! Man overboard! Man overboard.
Sir, Karno just jumped in the drink and Charge went in after him.
(ALARM BLARES) DUTCHY: Sir, marker buoy activated.
(THEME MUSIC) XO: Hey, 2Dads, how long after they went in did you throw the flare? About 10 to 15 seconds, ma'am.
Here, Dutchy.
Yeah, so we could have travelled about 250m.
Red 1-5, sir.
Charge! Yep, there he is.
Yep.
Charge! You'll be alright, mate.
Charge.
Come here, matey, come here.
Ready? DUTCHY: Yep, swing his legs up.
What are you doing? You're crazy, man.
Charge, with me.
What the hell was that? Sir, I thought he was gonna drown himself and I wasn't gonna let that happen.
So you shout, "Man overboard," you raise the alarm, you bring the priority of the entire crew to the task! Sir, that man was gonna commit suicide.
It was just instinct, sir.
We arrested his brother about six months ago.
Karno says that when he was deported home, the boat owners had him killed for losing it.
Now he reckons the same thing's gonna happen to him.
You know we don't get involved in his story.
He broke fisheries law, we do our job! Yes, sir.
We've got a job to do! Do it! The thing is he works for Horta Cheng.
We've been chasing Horta Cheng without success for three years.
Probably longer.
How big was his fleet at last count? MIKE: Around 20 boats we know of.
I have a suggestion I'd like you to consider.
Listening.
Karno witnessed Horta Cheng killing his brother.
If we can convince him to testify at home and not prosecute him here, we might get Cheng convicted.
Mike, do you really think they'd arrest Horta Cheng? If enough diplomatic pressure could be brought to bear.
Karno would have to convince other witnesses to talk, but let's face it, his life's on the line.
And with Cheng in jail, we'd have stopped the whole fleet at the source.
It's a good strategy, which promotes bilateral cooperation.
OK, I'll make a few phone calls.
If I testify, they'll kill me.
They were gonna do that anyway, weren't they? Look, you'll have support at the highest levels.
Testify against Horta Cheng and you'll be able to avenge your brother's murder.
How else are you gonna see your family again, Karno? Testify.
OK, maybe I should just ask your crew.
No, no.
Maybe I'll do it.
Good.
Hi, Mike Flynn.
CO 'Hammersley'.
How are you going? XO: I've just go some paperwork that I need Hey, it'll work out.
Trust me.
You'd better be right.
Listen, this is my phone number.
MY phone.
If you have any problems at all, you call me.
OK? Thank you.
Thanks, Charge.
Sir.
MIKE: So, do you think we've done enough to deserve some time off? (LAUGHS) Oh, are you kidding? If this comes off, it will be a huge win.
Then make the announcement, X.
Cinderella leave in three hours.
Yes, sir.
I'm actually the captain.
(WOMAN LAUGHS) You don't believe me? What? You don't look like officer material, 2Dads.
You look like the cleaner.
(LAUGHTER) Whereas this guy, on the other hand - this guy you're sitting next to, he's an admiral.
Oh, unfair! (LAUGHS) Really? Why am I carrying the drinks? Because we love you, Bird.
Is it just me or is it too noisy in here? Or you're not in the mood for a place where the drinks come in a bucket? You wanna find somewhere more civilised? Yeah.
Let's go.
Yeah.
We're going.
What? Typical! And I'm going up the street with Dutchy with our two guests.
Oh.
There's a connect four scene going on up the road.
I love Connect Four! No, no, no.
CHARGE: Oh! That's not right! (LAUGHS) That's not right! Come on, let's go get a drink somewhere else.
Come on, Bird! Alright, let me finish this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I get you? No.
Oh.
Oh.
I I was just about to leave.
Am I that scary? (LAUGHS) A little bit.
No.
No, no.
You're not, no.
You're you're beautiful.
Can I get you a drink? Oh, my God.
OK.
Stay there.
Don't move.
I'll be back.
XO: It's just that we haven't really had a chance to talk.
Well, we've talked.
But talked, you know? You wanna talk about Maxine? It was 20 years ago.
I know.
And, really, it's none of my business, but You have a son, and that must be pretty amazing.
Oh, still getting used to the idea.
Yeah.
Do you ever wonder how things might have been different if you and Maxine had've had more of a connection? We have a connection.
I mean like, back then, we had one.
Yeah.
You said 'have'.
Well, I meant back then.
You know, Mike Flynn, you are completely transparent.
(LOUD MUSIC PLAYS) You still haven't told me what you do.
It's not very interesting.
(LAUGHS) I'm an engineer.
Oh? Civil, electrical or mechanical? (LAUGHS) Whoa! I have a degree in engineering.
Really? Oh, you think I'm just a pretty face? No.
Oh.
(LAUGHS) So I'm not pretty? (LAUGHS) No.
You're you are very pretty.
(LAUGHS) You're so adorable when you're embarrassed.
Am I blushing? It's probably the alcohol.
(LAUGHS) Or maybe you like me.
Sorry, er, I'm just I'm not used to pretty ladies coming on to me.
In fact, I'm not used to any ladies coming on to me.
I'm not surprised.
Oh.
Thanks.
No.
What I mean is you're not like the other men.
Most foreign men, they they have this sense of entitlement, this arrogance, like they can have any girl they want.
But I don't feel that with you.
Oh.
What do you feel? You have a good heart.
No? MAN OVER P.
A: Resupply party stand by, 0730.
(GROANS) Oh.
(LAUGHS ) Hello.
Hi.
You want a fruit juice? Um yeah.
Thanks.
Take mine.
I'll get another one.
I'm sorry, I don't really remember a lot about last night.
Just drink your juice, it will come back to you.
OK.
(LAUGHS) (METAL CLINKS) Oh.
Oh.
(EXHALES) (LAUGHS) We got married? Mm-hm.
(LAUGHS THEN BREATHES RAPIDLY) When you make up your mind to do something, there's really no stopping you.
Mmm.
Oh, boy.
Ah.
Oh! Hey.
Swain, you're up.
Yes.
Only just.
D-do you want a Berocca? Er, yeah, that'd be great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
(GROANS) Hey, um, you know legally type stuff, yeah? What have you done? No.
Hypothetically - say, if, er Alright, if you got married when you're really pissed, is that legally binding? You did what? What? (SIGHS) Shhh.
(SIGHS) Yes, yes.
Oh, my God.
There seems to be a ring on my finger, and Lani has one too.
(LAUGHS) I hope Lani's a girl.
Do I look like a radio officer? Yes, she's a girl.
OK, well was it your intention to get married? Are you serious?! I'm asking.
Of course not! It was like a hijacking.
I was trapped.
(SINGS TO TUNE OF 'HERE COMES THE BRIDE') # Dah, dah, dah-dah # Dah, dah, dah-dah # I'm gonna kill him.
Alright, you, come here! # Dah, dah, dah-dah # Mate, we can't leave you alone for a second, huh? That's (SIGHS) Wait a minute.
Was I there? I don't know.
I think it happened at her place.
Pajangalang Road? Doesn't ring a bell.
You're gonna have to tell the boss because it's a change to your legal status.
(LAUGHS) # Dah, dah, dah-dah # Married? Yes, sir.
I take it this wasn't the intended outcome of your night out? No, sir.
Well, you go back, you explain to the girl that you made a mistake.
You get an annulment.
Annulment.
Right.
And you do it now before this thing escalates.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
(WHISPERS) Charge.
What happened? He told me to organise an annulment.
What a mess.
I'm never drinking again.
These women out there are just waiting to trap a guy like you, OK? I know.
Maybe a better-Iooking one but What's that supposed to mean? What do you mean, "What's that supposed to mean?" (STAMMERS THEN SIGHS HEAVILY) (LAUGHS) Hey, she's just using you to get a better life.
Yeah.
He's right, Charge.
Whatever.
Andy! Hi.
Oh! I was so worried about you.
Why you just disappear on me? (STAMMERS) I had to report back to the ship.
Is everything alright? Yeah.
Sure.
Definitely.
Um You look good in uniform.
(LAUGHS) Thanks.
Er, look I've got something I really need to say.
Mmm, good.
So do I.
We talk over breakfast, OK? Sure.
Oh! Hey, careful, 2Dads.
That's dinner tonight.
I thought we had cardboard last night, Bird.
loading those stores, you can give Bird a hand in the galley.
Katie.
Oh, hello.
I'm not sure what you're doing here, Captain, but it is a very nice surprise.
Oh, Captain Roth, if only we didn't have to sail.
Well, I might have some good news for you in that department.
I'm gonna be joining you.
What, you're here to work? Unfortunately, I can't just blow into foreign ports to visit my girlfriend.
Well, I am not aware of any transport requests, Captain.
I think your CO's receiving it right now.
Oh, he's not I haven't received any orders.
They'll come.
So your work here is connected to investigating the terrorist cell? Can't divulge that.
It's need-to-know stuff, apparently.
Bacon and eggs, sir.
If you need to know.
Small joke.
Sir, this has just come in from NAVCOM.
We've been requested to collect Captain Jim Roth from those coordinates.
Ah yep.
OK.
I heard there's plenty of engineering position in Australia.
Yeah, about that.
Because the first thing I need to do when I get there Get there.
Get to Australia.
Yeah.
I need to find a job because I don't want to be a burden Lani.
We can't be married.
I was drunk and I made a big mistake.
No, you didn't make a mistake.
Yes, I did.
I should never have asked you to marry me.
I am so sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I knew you were a sailor and I thought if I could marry you, I could come to Australia.
I asked you to marry me.
At least you're honest.
You don't understand.
No.
No, I don't.
Why do you need to go to Australia? Look around - you've got a pretty good life here.
My father, he's terrible.
He's violent and he's abusive.
He's promised to marry me to a much older man.
So leave, then.
You've got a degree, you can find work.
You don't need to rely on him.
He's very influential.
He knows people.
lf if I humiliate him, he will track me down.
But not if you get to Australia? So I took advantage of you.
I was looking for an escape and you seemed like An easy target.
No.
You seemed like a nice person to escape with.
I'm sorry.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) You sorted everything out? Yes, sir.
It's all sorted.
You mean you fixed everything? Um yeah.
Everything's fixed.
Totally.
Completely.
(PHONE RINGS) I'II (CLEARS THROAT) Andy Thorpe.
Karno? Hang on.
No, no, slow down.
I can't I can't understand you.
What do you mean you've been released? He's supposed to be in protective custody.
He says they're corrupt, he's scared he's gonna be killed.
Karno.
Karno! Where are you? Excuse me.
No double room.
What? You can have two single room but you can't share.
We don't want any rooms.
We're looking for one of your guests.
A man by the name of Karno? What has he done now? What? There are some other men with him already, upstairs.
(WHISPERS) Check that one.
(MUFFLED VOICE) (WHISPERS) Hang on.
MAN: Why won't you give me some answers? Do you hear something? Here.
Karno? (KNOCKS) Whoa! (GUNFIRE STOPS) OK, get up.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS, TYRES SCREECH) Karno.
Karno! Karno! KARNO! And you're sure it was Horta Cheng? In a city hotel.
Doesn't care who sees him come and go.
Incredible.
We rang the police, took them an hour to get there.
An hour.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault, Charge.
I told Karno that we'd protect him.
We can't be everywhere.
Yeah, but I promised.
The thing is, sir, right, we were there, we were witnesses.
Did the police take statements? (CHARGE SCOFFS) No.
Then I'm guessing there won't be any arrests.
Oh Forget it, 2Dads.
You've seen what happens to people that testify.
Cheng's not going to court, not here.
Charge! Where are you going? To see Lani.
I've only got a couple of hours before we sail.
See her? Why? You got the marriage annulled, right? I was going to, then she owned up, she told me the truth.
That's she's using you, yeah? She's got her reasons.
She's in trouble.
She just asked me for help.
You and your bleeding heart.
Stop, just stop for a second.
I told her that I'd think about it.
This woman Lani! Whatever.
She is using you, yeah? No, you don't know that.
In Australia she gets Medicare, she gets welfare.
All she needs to do is to stay with you for a little while, dump you, bang, she's got benefits for life.
Come on.
I think she's genuinely in trouble.
And you know that how? From your extensive relationship with her that's lasted, what, 12 hours? Yeah.
You're right.
It's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go tell her my decision.
And that is? Annulment.
You're doing the right thing, Charge.
We'll sail in two hours.
Contact anyone who's still ashore.
Yes, sir.
Ta.
Thank you.
I love the tropics.
Beautiful food.
Beautiful woman.
Just like being at home on my veranda, eh? Except on your veranda, we don't usually sit so far apart.
You know, Kate these last few weeks Me too.
What, sorry? I'm sorry.
(LAUGHS) What, you too, huh? Yeah.
Yeah! (PHONE BEEPS) OK.
It's Robert.
We sail in two hours.
Uh-huh.
Better order something quick, then.
Yeah.
Excuse me! What is it? It's him.
Who? It's my target, the reason for my mission.
Come with me.
You think you can get married without my permission Hey! LANl: Oh, Andy! Horta Cheng?! (WHIMPERS) This is your husband? (LAUGHS) (WHIMPERS) Come with me! You are a fool and this man is using you.
Look, I'm not sure what's going on here but you just need to calm down.
(WHIMPERS) I know you.
You were at the hotel.
How much did he pay you to betray me, huh? Hey! I didn't know that Lani was your daughter when we married.
(WHIMPERS) Andy.
(GROANS) Now let's get to the truth.
Karno was a traitor, and I know there are others amongst my men.
Who else has been speaking to the Australian Navy? No-one.
Mmm.
LANl: No! (GROANS) You Andy! Wrong answer! Our intel said he was in Hong Kong, but he's here.
How do you know? That's his car.
That's where his daughter lives.
Your target is Horta Cheng?! You know him? Yeah.
I'm impressed, Kate.
You know the girl as well? No.
It's his daughter, Lani.
They're not close.
Is that what I think it is? It's broad daylight.
But I guess no-one around here is gonna say anything so we need to report it.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's a waste of time.
I bet they're headed for the docks.
What time do we sail? We've got long enough to follow them if that's what you wanna do.
Let's go.
XO: Thank you.
JIM: There you go.
You were right, he's here somewhere.
Or he's been and gone.
Yeah.
So then we followed him from his daughter's place.
We found the car at the docks but no boat, though.
Well, if he was planning to get rid of a body, it'd make sense to dump it at sea.
Sir, harbourmaster's just OK'd our departure for 1520.
Very good.
Is all the ship's company accounted for? No, sir.
Still no sign of Charge.
Anyone seen Charge? With the charge adrift, we can't sail, can we? Anyone phoned him? Several times, still no answer.
Alright, try again.
Sir.
Listen, Mike You have to tell him, 2Dads.
Er sir, I think I might know where he is.
Would it involve a woman? He said something about a building on Pajangalang Road.
what was her name? Lani.
Oh, my God.
The body in that sack, that that must have been Charge.
(DOOR OPENS) Charge? Look.
It's blood.
Doesn't look life-threatening.
Thanks for that, Dutchy, but if that's Charge's A few drops of blood's a good sign, 2Dads.
Relax.
Charge? (PHONE RINGS) In here.
Charge? Hello? No.
RO, it's me.
No, we found his phone.
No Charge.
Will do.
It's Charge's wallet.
What do you think happened here? That could take days to establish.
I don't think Charge has that long.
Charge didn't know she was Horta Cheng's daughter? What do you think? No, he only met her last night.
She's trapped him.
They needed a sailor.
Now they've got one.
Hey.
That's his boat.
The harbourmaster confirms it left Samjung about 20 minutes ago.
Thanks, RO.
Er, sir You're going to have to tell me what you know.
Horta Cheng's boat's a commercial vessel.
Speculation is it's the mother ship for his fishing fleet.
Hey, that's already in the file.
What I meant was why were you tailing Horta Cheng? You know I can't divulge Dutchy, take the ship.
DUTCHY: Sir.
Look, what I can tell you is that a particular terrorist network gets part of its funding from Horta Cheng.
The Moshir group? Can't confirm that.
And what was your mission? I can't divulge that.
And even if I could, it wouldn't help you.
Is his daughter part of his business? Not that I'm aware.
Would she have deliberately entrapped Charge to help her father? I don't know.
But with Horta Cheng, anything's possible.
What we do know about him is that he hates authority of any kind.
And it's highly probable he's taken Charge.
Swain, get me Horta's boat on radar.
Sir, if it is here, it's not gonna be sending a transponder signal.
And this close to port, there must be 20, 30 boats on the screen.
Work out which one it is.
I don't care how, just do it.
I wanna know where it's heading.
Sir, boarding them in territorial waters off a foreign country Isn't an option, I know.
Come on - it's Charge, sir.
If they move into international waters, it's another story.
Just try to think of anything - something short of piracy.
I can't rendezvous with my fleet (COUGHS AND GASPS) knowing there are traitors amongst them.
I need the names of those traitors.
I've told you a hundred times the deal with Karno was a one-off.
How can I know that? You have my word.
The word of a man who would marry my daughter just to get to me.
Your word is nothing.
Where's Lani? Now you're annoying me.
Don't mention her name.
(GROANS) See the effect it has.
XO: It's still on a bearing of 177.
If it's Horta's ship What do you think? Well, all of the others are either in shipping lanes and they're displaying their transponder IDS or they're staying close to shore, so they'd be local shuttles or pleasure craft.
This group here, they're moving out to our fishing grounds.
But this one here is trailing behind.
There's no transponder signal and it's changing direction every 10 minutes or so.
What's his speed? It's still at a constant 15 knots.
In that general heading, that puts him in international waters in 30 minutes.
That's him.
Port 10, steer 190.
Aye, sir.
Port 10, steer 190.
Er, you're not following? I am, just not directly.
I don't know how many of those boats actually belong to Cheng.
I don't want him to know we're shadowing.
Let's keep him at the edge of our screen.
Aye, sir.
Course 190, sir.
Very good.
Why do you insist on making this personal? Give me the informers.
Tell me their names.
(GROANS) I only knew Karno.
He was the only one.
Of course you would say that to protect them.
(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) But what what if it's the truth? Well, that's too bad for you, isn't it? Because I'm not going to stop (YELLS) (GROANS) until I get what I want.
(YELLS) (GROANS AND COUGHS) Do we have welding equipment? Show me.
(CHUCKLES) (YELLS) (GROANS) (DOOR OPENS) (COUGHS) (GASPS) Oh, Andy.
(WHISPERS) Andy, your face.
(SIGHS) Oh.
What are you doing here? My father, he kidnapped me as well.
You never told me your father was Horta Cheng.
You never asked me.
Good point.
I'm going to help you get away.
But we're at sea.
How exactly am I gonna get away? Andy, Andy, there's a tender, a Zodiac.
If you don't take the chance now, he will kill you.
He will do that even if you give him the information he wants.
He's promised me to someone else and our marriage has made him lose face.
He will kill you for it.
No, no.
Why should I believe you? You just have to trust me.
(GASPS) Lani! Please don't hurt him! He's my husband! (SCREAMS) He's my enemy.
And you have to make a choice, Lani, because I punish all my enemies.
And this man's time has come.
(SOBS) No! (SOBS) MAN: Boss.
What?! MAN: The navy is here! Get up on the deck and arm yourselves! MAN 2: Keep them off! MIKE: X, armed hostiles, top deck.
XO ON RADIO: Copy that.
Secondaries off! DUTCHY: Copy that, X.
(GUNFIRE) XO: Swain, where is that cover fire?! SWAIN: Approaching port side, ma'am.
(GUNFIRE) XO: Smoke 'em out! DUTCHY: Copy that, X.
XO: Wait for the smoke to settle! (COUGHING) XO: OK, get us in! DUTCHY: Take us in! XO: Go, go, go, go.
XO: Go! Go! (COUGHING) XO: Alright, put your weapons down! Put your weapons down! Get down on the ground! Get down on the ground! Go! Go! Commander, permission to cover the boarding party.
We do have the 50-cal on the flag deck, but go ahead.
DUTCHY: Australian Navy.
(GUN CLICKS) (SHOOTS) Drop it.
Drop it NOW! Drop your weapon! Drop your weapon! (GASPS) Charge.
NAVY! You right? Drop your weapons! Put your weapon down! Put your weapon down! Drop it! Put your weapon down! DUTCHY: X, they've got Charge on the upper deck.
Copy that! OK, upper decks! NAVY! Leave now or I will kill this man.
Believe me, I will do it.
His life means nothing to me.
Alright, hold your fire! This is futile, Mr Cheng.
Leave now! We won't leave.
Drop your weapon! Then this man's death will be in your hands.
You pull that trigger and you'll quickly follow him! XO: It is over.
Put your weapons down.
Papa, please! Please! Papa, please put down your gun! Please.
You betrayed me.
(GASPS) Charge! Papa! Papa, no.
Andy.
Andy.
Andy.
Andy.
What's the verdict, Swain? Well, he hasn't been shot, sir.
(GROANS) Hey, Charge.
(GROANS) Where where's Lani? (GROANS) No, no.
Take it easy, mate.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
(GASPS) You're gonna be OK, mate.
CHARGE: Lani.
I'm sorry to hear about your father.
I just wanted to get away from him.
I thought I lost both of you.
Oh, no.
(SOBS) It's OK.
It's OK.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
It's OK.
It's not as bad as it looks.
Swain reckons I got off pretty lightly.
Um We're gonna have to put in an application for an emergency rescue visa.
OK.
I'm gonna help you.
Thank you.
Hey.
Um, look I've been thinking about every bit of advice that you've given me in the last 24 hours.
Yeah, I Everything you've said to me has either been uninformed, racist or just dumb.
Charge, about that So I don't want any more advice about Lani from you.
I would like you to keep your opinions to yourself.
Understood? I wanna say I'm sorry.
I'm the idiot.
I was wrong about her.
What else is new? So Horta Cheng was funding terrorists and your job was to stop that? I know - can't confirm or deny.
There are some times when things just fall into place.
You ready? Yeah.
Sir.
Let's go.
Yeah.
