"Boss, there's a boat ahead." "There's smoke coming from it." "An old Halvorsen." "Nice." "Let's go find out what the problem is." "You alright there, mate?" "I wasn't expecting the Australian Navy to turn up." "We like to be of service." "What's the problem?" "Oh, it's just a bit of engine trouble." "I should be able to fix it." "Dad..." "How about we send one of our techos over?" "Take a look?" "Sure." "If you can spare the time, that would be great." "Good." "ET?" "You and Swain take the RHIB." "Lend some assistance if you can." "On it, boss." "Charge." "What happened?" "I went and saw the eye doctor, like you suggested, sir, and he reckons the smoke from the fire must have aggravated my, um... cornea." "Is it going to be OK?" "Yeah, yeah." "Doc reckons I just need to wear the patch to rest it and allow the, uh..." "Cornea?" "... cornea to heal." "Alright." "You need some time off?" "No, sir." "If it's all the same, I'd just as soon stay here." "Should be right in a couple of days." "OK." "Good." "All you need is a parrot." "Sir?" "Alrighty." "Now, Luke, is it?" "Alright, Luke." "You want to be my first mate?" "Yeah." "Alright." "Well, you're going to need one of these, then." "Perfect." "Now, I'm going to need a socket wrench." "Now, it's got a long chrome handle with a round head and a square shaft." "Nice one!" "You're going to be after my job soon." "I'm going to need a 12mm socket as well." "So, you guys are on hols, are you?" "Actually, I took them out early." "It was the only chance I could get off work." "We're on the adventure of a lifetime, right, Dad?" "Yeah, that's right." "Are you... are you alright, mate?" "Yeah, sure." "Why?" "It's just you're... sweating." "Oh, it's the tropical heat." "Always gets to me." "You can tell I'm Victorian, then?" "So, um, where you headed?" "Oh, just up the coast." "Maybe over to Croker Island." "Really?" "Why there?" "Don't worry about Swaino, mate?" "He's like the navy equivalent of a cop." "Sorry?" "Well, he's always asking questions." "Aren't you, Swaino?" "Alright, we're done here, mate." "Well, thanks." "I really appreciate it." "No worries." "No." "Luke, that is yours." "Thanks!" "No worries." "Alright." "Let's roll this up." "Way to go, eh?" "Gavin and his kids?" "Man..." "If I had half a chance, that's where I'd be." "What?" "Risk their safety on a boat designed for Sunday river cruising?" "Spoken like the true romantic that you are, Swaino." "Is there a problem?" "The guy's from Victoria, sir." "That's not his fault." "Look, he doesn't know boats and he can't handle the heat." "So what's he doing in the tropics?" "Can't answer that." "But if he hasn't broken any laws, there's not much we can do." "We holding up here for a while?" "We could." "Good." "I'll order some engine maintenance." "Fancy a spot of fishing, do we, Charge?" "Never crossed my mind." "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Hey, Spider, are you going in?" "Oh, no, ma'am." "I do mind the sharks." "Yah!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Your father's ashes?" "Thought I might throw them in here." "Whoo!" "Once they all get out of the water." "Whoo!" "Well, it seems like a good place." "That's if you don't mind the party going on." "I can't think of what to say, anyway." "Ah, the rod." "Yes." "Here she is, boss." "Uh, boss?" "I've done some checking." "It seems our friendly father HAS committed a crime." "He's kidnapped his own kids." "Bring the ship to specials." "Special sea dutymen and cable party close up." "Assume damage control state three, condition Yankee." "Report just in from Coastwatch." "The Halvorsen's been spotted in the Arafura Sea." "That's its coordinates." "Where do you think he's heading?" "Certainly not Croker Island like he said." "Hmm." "Seems to me the most likely destination is here, the Tiwi Islands." "Oh, good." "The police there can pick him up, then." "Or maybe not." "He had passports for all of them." "And the Tiwis have an airfield." "We'd better stop them before he gets there." "We're fast, but not that fast." "He's got a couple of hours on us at least." "Nav." "How do we cut him off?" "Well, he has to land this side of the island." "So if we forget about chasing him, we could circle around Bright Island and get there before him." "But it's going to take a lot of grunt." "Grunt we have." "MCR, bridge." "MCR." "Yes, boss?" "Charge, you know that full-power trial you've been wanting to do?" "Now's the time?" "Bring it on." "Alright, bring it up to about 40 or 50, Paddy." "You know, I don't understand how a dad can get charged with kidnapping his own kids." "These things they teach you in divorce school." "Pray you never end up there." "Yeah, well, he seems like a really nice guy." "Charge?" "Mm-hm?" "Hypothetically speaking if you promised something to someone but you were unable to deliver on that promise because of unforeseen circumstances that happened before the promise was made what would you do?" "Can you be more specific?" "No." "No, it's... personal." "Talk to Nikki." "What?" "She's your divisional officer." "If it's personal, she can help you sort it out." "A little bit better than I can." "Yeah, I doubt it." "She's a good person." "You should talk to her." "Try that contact again." "'Lucky Numbers' this is Australian warship calling you on VHF channel 16- 1-6- over." "X." "'Lucky Numbers' this is the captain of Australian warship 'Hammersley'" "Please respond on channel 1-6, over." "This is 'L ucky Numbers'," "Is... is there a problem?" "You're scaring my kids." "Mr Daley, you need to stop so we can board your boat and see if everything's OK." "Your wife is very concerned." "Over." "She's not my wife." "She remarried a month ago and she plans to move overseas with my kids." "I understand, Mr Daley." "But you need to return home and work this out." "Taking your kids like this will only make the situation worse." "Over." "I'm not letting her take my kids away from me." "That won't happen if you go through the right process." "Over." "Look, just back off and leave us alone." "'Lucky Numbers' this is Australian warship." "Over." "Uh, boss?" "I think I've got a visual." "Take these." "Keep trying." "'Lucky Numbers' this is Australian warship calling you on VHF channel 16- 1-6." "Over." "There's no response from Gavin, sir." "At least we now know why he's doing this." "He's afraid he may never see his kids again." "Question is, how desperate is he?" "Some of these guys really flip out." "They kill their kids." "We know he's armed." "He had a. 22 bolt action on board." "Let's not assume he's a dangerous lunatic yet." "He sounded distressed but stable." "I think we should look at our options." "We could leave it to TRG." "They're at least a couple of hours away." "We could try force." "A shot across his bow might make him come to his senses and stop." "Or panic him." "We could send the RHIB over." "I'm not willing to risk that at this stage." "But the kids' safety is..." "It's the kids I'm thinking about." "This guy's under a lot of stress." "If he IS unstable, he's more likely to do something stupid if we push him." "So, if we can't make him stop, and we can't board, what are we going to do?" "We'll keep on his tail until he runs out of fuel." "NAVCOM, this is XO 'Hammersley'" "The situation with Mr Daley requires de-escalation." "Our intention remains to continue shadowing." "Roger." "I'll pass it on to Commander Marshall." "The police and TRG have been alerted." "We're all hoping for a good outcome." "Sir, he's been travelling flat tack for at least an hour." "He must be running low on fuel by now." "I want a boarding party over there as soon as he slows down." "Sir." "He's not slowing down." "And he just came hard left to head inshore towards the mainland." "What's he doing?" "He's trying to dodge us by going ashore." "There's nothing there but mangroves." "And crocodiles." "Sir, if he goes ashore, he's putting himself and the kids at a huge risk." "Damn it." "Slow ahead, both engines." "Port 10, steer 180." "Do you hear there?" "Captain speaking." "They've left the Halvorsen and they're heading for the mangroves." "Intention is to land a party ashore." "That is all." "Holster." "Check primaries and secondaries." "OK." "I'll be leading this one." "And, Spider, you can stay too." "I'm taking ET and Swain." "They've already had dialogue with Gavin, which might prove useful." "Sir, with all due respect, this is way outside the navy's comfort zone." "We're looking at a possible hostage situation." "I made the wrong call about Gavin." "I feel responsible." "I need to take care of this and I need you to take charge of the ship." "OK." "Search party, secondaries off." "Alright, we'll spread out." "Buffer, you go with Swain." "ET with me." "We'll sweep this area here." "Stay in radio contact at all times." "They could be anywhere." "He's dragging a couple of kids." "I reckon he'll leave some pretty obvious tracks." "Stainesy, stay with the RHIB." "He might double back." "Yes, sir." "Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2." "We've lost visual contact." "Any sign of them?" "Over." "This is Charlie 2." "We've found the dinghy so we're heading inland." "Over." "According to the chart, it doesn't get any clearer." "And if they haven't sighted them so far..." "They're not going to." "Not to mention it's already late afternoon." "It's perfect feeding time for crocodiles." "Yes, I am aware of that, thank you." "Charlie 2, you haven't got much daylight left." "Especially in the mangroves." "Over." "We'll continue to search while we still have daylight." "Over." "Delta 2, this is Charlie 2." "SITREP, over." "Charlie 2, this is Delta 2." "Nothing yet, over." "Don't know about you, boss, but I'm starting to feel like someone's appetiser." "Come on, ET." "You're a main course at least." "Boss!" "Sorry, sir." "Thought that was a..." "OK." "You're doing a great job." "Come on." "Have you ever thought what you'd do if you weren't in the navy, sir?" "Doesn't get any better than this." "Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2." "Who fired the shot?" "I say again, who fired the shot?" "Over." "Charlie 2, this is Delta 2." "Did you fire that shot?" "Over." "This is Charlie 2." "Negative, Delta 2." "Investigating." "Over." "Roger that, Charlie 2." "Doing likewise." "Out." "What's going on?" "Delta 2, this is Charlie 2." "Can you see anything?" "Over." "This is Delta 2." "Nothing yet." "Over." "Buffer, Swain!" "Get over here - fast!" "Charlie 2, what is it?" "What's going on?" "Over." "My leg." "My..." "He must have fired the shot to alert us." "It's the missing fisherman the feds were after." "What the hell's he doing here?" "Buffer, you and Swain get him back to the ship." "ET and I will continue searching for Gavin and the kids." "Aye, sir." "Sir, this guy's been mauled by a croc." "I need to get the wardroom ready for an emergency." "X- ray 2, this is Charlie 2." "We have a badly injured man." "I'm sending him back to you." "It's not Gavin Daley." "I say again, it's not Gavin Daley." "It's Carl Davies." "If he regains consciousness, see what you can find out." "Charlie 2 out." "Come on, ET." "Let's go." "Almost there, mate." "Almost there." "Almost there." "Carl." "Damn, you didn't tell me it was Carl." "What happened to him?" "Spider, please." "You know as much as I do." "OK." "Don't leave me here." "OK." "There's oxygen ready to go." "Morphine?" "On the side over there." "Buff." "Buff." "Buff, put the oxygen mask over his face, mate." "Just try and stay still." "I'll hold him." "It's OK." "OK!" "Just lay down." "Lay down." "You're right." "Hold down his leg, mate." "Hold it properly, Spider." "Oh!" "OK, here we go." "There you go." "Don't leave me!" "It's OK." "Don't leave me." "It's alright." "Don't leave me." "You're right." "What do you make of that?" "I'd say someone wasn't planning on him surviving." "Yeah, well, he still mightn't." "I need to speak to fleet medical command." "And I need to get cleaned up before I deal with him any further." "He needs to be cleaned up as well, ma'am." "We're going to need to speak to the feds." "This could be attempted murder." "Yes, ma'am." "Spider?" "OK, I need you to stay with him." "If he wakes up, you call me right away." "There's a lot of questions he might be able to answer." "Make yourself useful and start cleaning him up." "Yeah, but not his leg." "Spider." "Just do it." "But I don't know how to do his leg." "Ma'am?" "The bite extends from above the knee to most of the upper part of his right leg." "What do you recommend?" "Return to base ASAP." "There's not a lot more you can do out there." "Over." "Chances of survival?" "As I said, return to base ASAP." "Over." "Thank you, sir." "Prognosis isn't good, ma'am." "And the longer we delay out here..." "Swain." "Do what you can." "Yes, ma'am." "Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2." "The fleet medical officer recommends returning to base ASAP." "What are your intentions?" "Over." "Boss, wait up!" "It's my cap." "I gave it to the kid this morning." "Got to be on the right track." "X- ray 2, this is Charlie 2." "We've found one of the kids' caps." "I'm extending the search." "Out." "Come on." "Let's find them before it gets dark." "Hi." "Carl?" "Carl, wake up, mate." "Mate, it's Spider." "Bright Island." "What about Bright Island?" "It's... it's too good to be true." "Carl?" "Who left you in..." "Who left you in the mangroves?" "Were you trying to tell me something on the 'Pacific Mariner'" "Carl?" "What was it?" "Gallagher." "They're... they're all dead." "Ursula Morrell." "Where is Ursula Morrell?" "I was too late." "Charlie 2, this is X-ray 2." "SITREP regarding our injured passenger." "Over." "This is Charlie 2." "Go ahead, X." "Sir, Swain is concerned that if we don't return to base immediately," "Carl won't make it - over." "We're moving as fast as we can, X." "There's no change to the priority." "Charlie 2 out." "Boss, this way!" "We've got to get out of here!" "Come on!" "Gavin, stop!" "Stay back!" "OK, Gavin." "Don't come any closer!" "Gavin you've put yourself and your kids in a dangerous situation." "We just want to help you get out of here safely." "You heard me!" "Back off and leave us alone!" "I'll use this!" "I swear!" "Come on, Gavin." "Think of your kids." "I know you love them." "You don't want them out here." "It's going to be dark soon." "They're frightened." "Come back to the ship with us." "We'll help you get out..." "Back off!" "It's OK, kids." "It's gone." "We've scared him away." "Gavin?" "Gavin?" "That was a crocodile." "Yes." "I'm sorry." "I didn't know." "I..." "I'm..." "I'm sorry!" "I..." "It's alright." "Give me the gun." "Gun?" "Well done, ET." "X- ray 2, this is Charlie 2." "Let's get the hell out of here, alright?" "We've located Daley and his kids." "Returning to you." "Make ready for an immediate departure." "Over." "Wardroom's taken." "Let's get him in here." "Is my dad going to be alright?" "Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine." "You guys want to come through here while we get someone to look at your dad?" "Dad!" "It's OK, Lukey." "Kids, go with them." "Alright, guys." "We've got heaps of DVDs down here." "Do you want to watch a movie?" "Yep." "Just take a seat, thanks." "You could've gotten yourself killed out there." "Possibly." "But one thing's for sure " "Gavin would've gotten himself and his kids killed if we didn't find them." "How's Carl doing?" "He's upstairs." "I want to talk to him." "Well, we've stemmed the blood flow for now." "But the sooner we get him back, the better." "OK, Swain." "Well done." "I'd like you to check on Gavin now, thanks." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me, ma'am." "Did he say anything?" "Well, nothing coherent." "He mentioned Bright Island and Rick Gallagher." "But... it didn't make any sense." "Did he mention Ursula?" "No." "I'm sorry." "OK." "If he wakes up again, let me know." "Let's get back to base as soon as possible." "Well, his blood pressure's a bit high, but nothing life-threatening." "What about my kids?" "They're fine." "Our chef's plying them with toasted sandwiches." "I stuffed things up pretty badly, didn't I?" "I swear I didn't know there were crocs." "What an idiot." "I've lost everything anyway." "Really?" "How do you figure that?" "You're alive, aren't you?" "Not to mention your two kids." "I mean, surely they count for something." "We'll leave you alone." "To rest." "Sleep well." "Have you had enough toast?" "That's, like, a whole loaf of bread." "I suppose if you're a fearless crocodile hunter, you do need your energy." "Is my dad alright?" "Yeah, he's fine." "Will he get into trouble?" "Hey, Charge." "Charge!" "Look at this." "This is our own pirate." "Arr, ahoy there, me hearties." "I'll be eatin' your liver with a spoon." "Nup." "You're not as good as Jack Sparrow." "Not at all." "Well, did my best." "Tough crowd." "Sir." "ET." "I don't want Gavin left alone." "I think we've had enough incidents today." "Aye, sir." "RO?" "I'm drafting a SITREP to NAVCOM." "Can you print me out a pro forma, please?" "Yes, ma'am." "Quite a day." "Mm-hm." "You could say that." "Mmm." "And it's not over yet." "Thanks." "I'm going to be writing incident reports for the next week." "Oh." "Have you thought about what you want to say?" "How about..." ""You gave me a hard time," ""but at least you weren't as stupid as Gavin"?" "I'd keep working on it, if I were you." "Hey, guys." "Look who I found." "Dad!" "How's my team?" "Good?" "I want to see Mum." "Sure, honey." "That's where we're going now." "Everything is going to be good from now on." "I promise." "Will you come visit us when we move to the States?" "You bet." "I'm going to lie down now, OK?" "I love you guys." "We love you too, Dad." "Come on." "Sit down." "They're great kids." "Yeah." "And now some other guy gets to see them every day." "Yeah." "Hi." "Hey." "You were really great with those kids." "Oh, yeah." "Well, maybe I haven't grown up myself yet." "Oh, I don't know." "Guess we'll see over the next six months." "Yeah." "Um..." "We've got to talk." "About what?" "Not here." "OK." "Better not let X find us in here, or else one of us will be looking for a new career." "Nikki, when I made that six-month pact with you," "I meant what I said." "That's good to hear." "Something's come up that you need to know about." "Don't tell me you found a woman to flirt with in the mangrove swamp." "My ex-girlfriend is pregnant." "Look, Nikki, she..." "I only just found out about it myself." "We've been broken up for ages, but a couple of months ago we bumped into each other and..." "You obviously did more than bump into her." "I have to work." "No, no." "Nikki..." "Thank you, leader." "Ma'am." "I only ducked out just for a minute." "That's all it takes." "Sir!" "He's on the focsle." "Focsle." "Right, everyone stay back." "We don't want to freak him out any more." "Stop both engines." "Gavin?" "Step back inside the guard rails." "Please." "Come on, Gavin." "This is stupid." "Have you got kids?" "No." "Then you wouldn't understand." "I understand you've been through a divorce, and that's not easy, but your kids need you now more than ever." "My wife is taking them to the States with her new husband." "I won't get to see them at all!" "Boss." "Boss." "Let me talk to him." "I think I know how he feels." "Hey, Gavin." "G'day, mate." "Look I've got kids I hardly ever see at all." "You're wearing an eye patch." "Uh... yeah." "Hey!" "Man overboard!" "Prepare to recover by swimmer." "I'll go." "What did he do that for?" "Stop both engines." "Let it go." "Unbelievable." "Where's the gunner of the watch?" "Gunner of the watch close up." "At the rush." "Come on, come on, come on." "Spider, starboard wing." "Gunner, load." "We've stopped, boss." "Carry on, the swimmer." "Carry on, the swimmer." "Swimmer in the water." "Swimmer on the surface." "Indicating well." "Get him!" "Oh!" "He's dragging ET under, boss." "Settle down!" "Heave in on the swimmer's line!" "Hand over hand!" "We don't have time for this." "Charge, man the swimmer's line." "Buffer, down to point." "Sort this out." "Aye, sir." "We've got a seriously injured man below." "ET!" "Bring him here!" "Get that strop on him!" "Get it on him now!" "Have you got him?" "Hooked up." "Get him in!" "Heave in on the recovery line!" "ET!" "Are you right?" "Avast!" "OK, Nav." "Let's get back to port." "Aye, sir." "What's going to happen to him?" "Right now, I don't care." "What did you think you were doing?" "You should have just left me there." "Oh, yeah." "Maybe we should have." "But unfortunately, we're duty-bound to save people like yourself." "Yeah, well, you wasted your effort, mate." "I'm not your mate." "You risked the lives of your own kids." "And now you've risked the lives of my team." "I might as well be dead." "My kids will never forgive me." "You don't deserve a second chance." "That's true." "But your kids will give you one." "Oh." "Hey." "Hi." "Thank you." "That's alright." "Look, Nikki, I'm so sorry about all this." "You know I didn't mean any of this to... happen." "No." "What are you going to do?" "I don't know." "Um... do you want to get back together with her?" "No." "No." "No, but, I..." "But what?" "I don't feel anything for Suzie, you know?" "But, I..." "I'm not going to abandon my child." "I wouldn't expect you to." "No, I know you..." "I know you wouldn't." "If I'm going to if I'm going to be a father," "I guess I've got to start doing the right thing, right?" "Yeah." "But, um..." "I don't want it to change us." "NAVCOM have confirmed we've got police and ambulance waiting." "We'll get Carl out first." "How is he?" "Deteriorating." "This whole episode hasn't helped matters." "I'd like you to escort the kids out." "Let's try and keep the fuss to a minimum." "Right, boss." "Uh, what about Gavin?" "Can't say." "Kidnapping's a pretty serious offence." "Kidnapping?" "Yeah, but he's obviously pretty distraught." "I mean, he needs some help." "Right?" "I've recommended counselling when we get back." "Right, boss." "OK." "Give us a salute." "Mind your step there, guys." "Now, look who's here for you." "Mum!" "Whatever you decide, you'll still be their dad." "Thanks, but I'm not going to have much of a choice in the matter." "Legally, your wife can't take your kids out of the country without your permission." "But you need to start thinking about what's best for them." "Nav." "Hey, Nav." "If you've got time for a drink, I'd really like for us to talk." "I think someone else has other ideas." "Right." "I'll see you later." "I'm going to the hospital." "I want to be there when Carl regains consciousness." "You'll have to battle the feds." "Not to mention NAVCOM." "Well, whoever." "I'm finding out what he knows." "Pow!" "In case you hadn't noticed," "I think I'm probably a bit old for teddy bears, Spide." "Oh, no." "I overheard the conversation you had with the Nav." "About you going to be a dad." "No, Spide..." "Sorry, mate." "Can't help myself." "Mum always told me I had big ears." "Yeah, I don't think she meant that as a compliment, Spide." "Right." "Well, I just wanted to be the first to get in with the prezzie." "Congrats, mate." "Thanks." "Thank you." "But, um my ex-girlfriend's already taken care of it." "Yeah, but you can never have too many teddies." "Uh, no." "She's, um..." "She's terminated her pregnancy." "Oh." "Right." "Sorry, mate." "No." "The thing is, Spide I actually..." "I was really excited about being a dad." "Yeah." "You'd make a good one." "Now I've gone and stuffed it up with someone else." "Hey." "Maybe they'll need the teddy, hey?" "You're back early." "I thought you'd be a few hours." "Carl died on the way to the hospital." "Did he say anything about Ursula?" "He never regained consciousness." "If we'd gotten back sooner, who knows?" "You did the right thing, saving that family." "That's three dead people associated with Bright Island and Rick Gallagher." "Do you think he killed Ursula too?" "That's what's worrying me, X." "Would you like me to say a few words?" "Uh, yep." "We are here to say goodbye to Gerald Dixon." "Although I didn't know you, Gerald," "I know your son Robert well enough to appreciate him as a fine sailor." "He is intelligent, honest and trustworthy." "A valuable member to the 'Hammersley'" "So I guess, as a father, you must have done something right." "Goodbye, Dad."
