S04E09 Dutch Courage

Title: Dutch Courage Plot: While patrolling the Timor Sea, the Hammersley crew encounters a suspicious foreign fishing vessel. Aboard, they find four Australian men who insist they're on a fishing expedition, but Dutchy is skeptical. The boat lacks bait, nets, and any sign of fish, raising his suspicions. As they dig deeper, they uncover a stash of illegal alcohol. The situation escalates when the executive officer is taken hostage, with a machete pressed to her neck, while the rest of the crew is forced to retreat.
