Plot

Spider goes undercover to expose a sex-slave racket operating off the Australian coast. Swain is forced to perform an emergency childbirth at sea when an illegal immigrant goes into early labour.

Kate becomes concerned about a boat which pleads asylum but which contains only one man and several women and feels they are destined for the illegal sex trade. On board they find a pregnant female in labour who Swain tries to save but she dies leaving him no option but to cut the baby from her - a boy. Mike orders that the boat be turned around despite Kate's objections. Later Kate chases up a lead left by the dead female's belongings and soon unearths an off-shore floating brothel which has the dead woman's sister amongst them held against their will.—Anonymous

The Hammersley crew is surprised that all but one seaman aboard a wrecked ship they rescue are young Asian females, none of which fills the legal criteria for asylum, which all demand. Only a pregnant one is kept aboard, but medical advice forces Swain to perform an emergency scalpel-birth, which only the baby survives. Shortly after, indications are found and followed on that they were all trapped in illegal sex, which is again practiced aboard a new floating brothel.—KGF Vissers

In episode three of Sea Patrol, the plight of a critically ill, pregnant woman presents a challenge to the medical skills and emotional stamina of several of the Hammersley crew. Yanlin (Hsiao Ling Tang) is one of a group of Asian women found when the patrol boat team boards a suspect fishing vessel.
