A flare?

Did anyone else see it? No?

- No. No.

- No.

- Wait. I got the tape.

- Yeah. Rewind it a little bit.

Yeah. It's right here.

Oh, Jesus! I saw it.

- Yeah!

- There's one. There's one!

- Did you see that flare?

- I saw it..

Base, this is 'The Suzanne'.

Are you there, Bill? Over.

Base, this is 'The Suzanne'.

Do you read me? Over.

I can't understand you.

I'm in Kingston Gorge and I'm getting

severe interference. Do you read me?

I think I just saw a flare.

So I'm gonna head upriver

and check it out.

'Suzanne', out.

Alright, we've just seen

what looks like a distress flare,

so we're gonna take a quick run upriver

and see if anyone's in trouble.

I realise this is a bit of an inconvenience,

but we do have to respond.

I got a bus to catch at 6:30.

Yeah, so do we. We're meeting family.

Who do you think it is?

Could be poachers.

They sometimes go into Arnhem Land.

It could be anyone.

It could be anyone,

and if it was you up there,

you'd want me to respond in exactly

the same way, so keep your seat, sir.

I'm sorry, but my wife and l,

we really...

- Allen, please. I'm fine.

- I'm not having you here all day.

How long do you think it'll take?

Can't be more

than a couple of miles upriver.

OK, you're alright. You're alright.

Listen, she's fine.

Are you OK?

Not really supposed to go through here.

This is sacred land.

Shouldn't really matter

if someone's in trouble, right?

She'll be right.

I reckon it came from

deeper in the swamp somewhere.

What do you think?

I think we've gone as far as we can.

Besides, there's nobody here.

It's gonna get dark soon.

We should probably go.

Probably right.

What?

Well, I suppose that's where

the flares came from.

This has really gone too far.

We must get back.

I can't have you out here any longer.

OK, we should...

What was that?

- Oh, sh*t, we're sinking.

- Oh, my God! We're sinking!

- There's a hole!

- What's happened?

Are we moving? Move it!

There! There!

Hold on! Hold on to your seats!

Just hold on to your seats.

We're almost there. Just hold on.

Let's get off. Get off, now!

Get off the boat. Hurry.

Get off the boat.

Alright, there's a radio

in one of these bags.

Should be in here somewhere.

Right.

Can you find it in there?

No, it's not in there.

It's underwater.

- Oh, sh*t!

- Is it working?

- What about the boat radio?

- It's wet but it should work.

Stay off the boat.

It's not working, mate.

It's underwater.

Can you take that up on the hill

and see if you can dry it out?

Just keep

switching channels, mate.

No bloody radio!

You've got us stuck on this

tiny little island with no bloody radio!

Great!

Kate?

Emergency. Hello.

Can anyone hear me? Over.
