Water Rats: Dead in the Water (2)

A man claiming to have the missing bomb takes hostages on a passenger ferry, but is he for real or not? Rachel discovers a connection between he and the girl who died on the school excursion. Dismissed from duty due to a weak heart, Jim dives the site of the ferry wreck to locate the fourth bomb in order to eliminate the hijackers threat.

Frank's brother Jimmy is released from prison after two years. He is unhappy when his wife shows him some money, and immediately assumes it was from Frank.

Episode Quotes
Rachel: Where's the beast?
David: (laughs) Mrs Crocker isn't getting me today.

Frank: Goldie... the way you got on that ferry today...
Rachel: Yeah?
Frank: They'll have you on the carpet for that.
Rachel: Yeah, I know!
Frank: Thanks for... putting yourself on the line for me.
Rachel: Look, Frank. It just seemed like the right thing to do at the time, you know?
Frank: Yeah well... maybe I wouldn't have done it for you.
Rachel: Oh... I think you might've!

(Tommy, Gavin and another officer are peering in the office to check out a woman)
Rachel: (shuts the door in their faces) Bloody boys club!

Rachel: Today someone at prosecutors told my ex that I was screwing you.
Frank: Well... since we're copping the blame, we might as well get stuck into it!
Rachel: Yeah! Something tasteful and romantic, ey? Your desk or mine?
Frank: I reckon I could do it from here!

(Frank and the negligee bandit are in a compromising position)
Rachel: I believe the words you are looking for Holloway are, 'police, you're under arrest'.
Frank: I was getting to that!
