Well, I guess we’ll see each other once you’ve nabbed those poachers.
Yes, we will.
[2 Dads is showing a croc egg to Bird.]
He wants you to cook it.
2D2 Dads
Don’t listen to him, he’s inhumane.
What do you make of all this, Mike?
I tend to agree. It doesn’t sound like my crew. The Hammersley crew.
Is that separation anxiety speaking?
Maybe just a bit.
It’s good to see you.
We still on for tonight?
Tonight? Absolutely.
2 Dads, I can’t think of anyone on the ship dumber than you are, but clearly there is someone.
So, who do you think he’s protecting?
He fancies Bird. Was it you?
No.
No, Bird was cleaning ovens all night, Bomber.
Not all night, Charge.
Bomb, she didn’t leave the ship.
Where were you, Bomber?
Wasn’t me.
Course it wasn’t.
Oh, come on, she wasn’t even there. [Bomber turns to look at him.] Were you?
Oh, what? So I’m invisible now? Get out of my galley.
[Kate answers the door.]
I thought we had a date.
I thought we cancelled.
I’d just like to know why you walked away from me today.
Because you’ve turned.
And what’s that supposed to mean?
Well, you’re clearly one of the bureaucrats now.
I'm just doing my job, I have responsibilities that come with this new position. Like it or not.
And that includes not supporting your former crew, does it?
I have to be impartial, it’s not personal.
Oh, that is crap. You know, you hide behind this veneer of command. I look at you with your straight back and square shoulders and it is your armour, and you won’t let anyone in, because you’re afraid. You’re an emotional coward, Mike Flynn.
[Mike chuckles unbelievingly.]
And I have put up with it for three years now, and sometimes I think you actually enjoy tormenting me.
Oh, come on, Kate. That’s unfair. You know the regulations.
Yeah, the regulations, they don’t apply anymore, do they? You can’t hide behind them anymore.
[Mike kisses her. She kisses back. The scene morphs to a montage of them, Mike carries Kate to her bedroom, they fall onto her bed, kissing passionately.]
Well, six hours left, 2Dads. Time to spill your guts.
Come on, 2Dads, tell us.
At least tell Bomber it wasn’t me.
Listen everyone, I think the right thing to do is whoever did it to fess up themselves.
That’s right.
[Silence.]
Oh, that went well.
Hey Bomber. Bird tell you the news about Two Dads?
Bird seems to know everything that’s going on on this boat.
Yeah, she’s pretty popular with the crew. [Pause.] Do I detect a note of jealously there?
Yeah, there’s a whole symphony going on.
Come on, Bomber, don’t compare yourself with Bird. I mean, she’s a sweet young thing, but... well, you’re... you’re a woman. You’re a very attractive woman. You’re beautiful so... you’re our chefo as well so we couldn’t exist without you.
Thanks, RO. [She kisses him on the cheek.]
[Mike arrives on the Hammersley.]
Now, there are rumours going around about Coburn. Do you know what’s going on?
The rumours are true. He’s been relieved of his command. [He falls silent.]
You okay?
You’re getting a new CO.
Oh, do you know who?
[Mike nods. Kate stares at him.]
Ugh. [Walks away.]
It’s only for a few weeks until they get a permanent replacement. [Stares at Kate’s retreating back, before following after her.]
