Sea Patrol (2007) s03e03 Episode Script

China Dolls

MIKE ON P.
A: Vessel on my starboard bow, this is Australian warship 'Hammersley'.
Stop or heave to.
I intend to board you.
BUFFER: Boarding party, secondaries off.
Visors down.
BUFFER: Hello.
XO: OK, Spider, go forward.
SPIDER: Yes, ma'am.
BUFFER: Move forward.
Move forward.
Stop there.
Are you the master of this vessel? Yes.
I'm Zhang.
Where are your crew? We seek asylum.
We refugees.
Oh, he knows the routine.
Yeah.
Well, how many of you are there? How many? Well, what's this? A volleyball team? We seek asylum.
We refugees.
XO: Come this way.
Do you speak any English? (SPEAKS MANDARIN) Hey, Buffer, move him.
Do any of your speak English? BUFFER: Step back.
XO: 2 Dads, make them comfortable, please.
Thank you.
It's alright.
Charlie 8-2, this is X-ray 8-2.
Yeah, go ahead, X.
Sir, we have one male Chinese, apparently the master of this vessel.
There are at least nine women, perhaps Chinese nationals.
Sir, they are young women.
There are no other men on board, no children.
Over.
Have they given you a reason for being in our waters? Well, they say they're seeking asylum.
I think that's unlikely.
I think they're here for an entirely different reason.
Yeah, well, that's something we can't take into consideration, X.
Sir, these women look scared.
And if we just turn this boat around, I don't know what's gonna happen to them.
Do you? No, I don't.
But I can't change the law, X.
You know that.
Well, thanks for clarifying the situation.
Don't take it personally, X.
Swain! WOMAN: Help, please! It's OK.
It's OK.
Hey.
Get her down.
OK, OK.
You right? How long? (SCREAMS) She's having baby now! You doctor? (SCREAMS) She is having baby now! (CONTINUES SCREAMING) Apparently her name is Yanlin.
From what I can gather, she's been in labour for about 15 hours.
Oh, God.
(SPEAKS MANDARIN) Sit him down, 2 Dads.
Hell of a place to have a baby, ma'am.
(YANLIN CONTINUES SCREAMING) Swain.
Swain, do you copy? I need you right here now, mate.
Copy that, Spider.
I'm on my way.
She's bleeding now.
I don't know what to do.
OK, mate.
(SPEAKS MANDARIN) Yanlin.
Baby.
WOMAN: You save her baby.
OK.
Swain.
I need her on board 'Hammersley'.
Well, our orders are to treat any medical situation aboard this vessel, if possible.
OK.
Well, she's bleeding.
It's a life-threatening situation.
I need her on an IV.
Great.
I'll get around the red tape.
SWAIN: OK.
Charlie 8-2, this is X-ray 8-2.
We have a situation on board.
Over.
SWAIN: Gently.
(SCREAMS) OK, try and relax.
Try and relax her.
Sorry.
Excuse me, sir.
How is she? Yeah, not good, sir.
(GROANS) You know we have a duty of care now that we've taken her on board? SWAIN: Yeah, I know, sir.
Alright, do your best.
Don't know how I'm gonna stop this bleeding.
Is there anything I can do? Yeah.
Can you get Robert to call Fleet Medical? Oh, already done.
I arranged the call when I got your message.
He's on the line.
Right.
I am gonna need more towels, mate.
Yep.
(GRUNTS) Ah, sir, this is Petty Officer Chris Blake.
I've got a pregnant female.
She's full-term.
Semi-dilated, but she's bleeding.
Well, it'd be a guess, but she's probably lost about half a litre of blood.
Meili.
Yanlin.
Does she have any family? Relatives? Do you know where she is from? Can you tell me anything about her? Meili, don't worry about him.
Please, just tell me what you can.
I don't know.
You must know something about her.
Meili, anything you can tell us will help us.
Please help us.
This belong Yanlin.
Hey! Hey! ZHANG: Don't give her the bag! Don't give it to her! There's no passport.
None of you have any passports.
You can't keep that! Did he take them from you? Now, don't you tell me what I can and can't do.
Sit him down.
I don't want to hear another word from him.
Sit down.
What's her blood pressure? Pulse is everywhere.
Let me know if you need anything.
Yeah, a medivac chopper.
Sir, X would like a word.
Yeah, go ahead, X.
Sir, I don't believe a word of the skipper's explanation.
They are not refugees.
I mean, do we really have to turn them around? They have no passports.
They have no form of ID.
And this whole thing, it stinks.
MIKE: We have our orders, X.
Oh, the bleeding isn't stopping.
If anything, it's getting worse.
(GROANS) Yeah, I know it does.
It sounds like placenta previa.
What? It's where the placenta becomes partially detached from the womb.
No.
No, sir, we don't carry any drugs like that on board.
(GROANS) I need you to take deep breaths.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) Deep breaths.
Yeah, no, the inhaler's certainly helping with the pain, but she's visibly weaker and paler.
See if you can detect a foetal heartbeat.
We've already pumped around two litres of normal saline into her, but she's losing blood faster than that.
Isn't there anything else we can do? Her baby's heart is racing.
I can't even count it, Swain.
Her blood pressure is 40 and still falling.
She's slowly slipping into shock here.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Yes? Yes? What is it? Uh, the medivac chopper you requested.
Yes.
Um, they're they're all out of range.
Spider, she needs one.
Yeah, I'm sorry, Swaino.
The boss told me to tell you that he's pulling every string he can, but the nearest is at least three hours away.
(MUMBLES IN MANDARIN) Hey.
Hey, hey.
It's OK.
I d Is, uh, she? She's unconscious.
BOMBER: Giving her oxygen.
Sir, the pulse is thready.
This is impossible.
OK.
OK, so she's unconscious.
SWAIN: You've got to give me something I can do.
You are now in international waters.
You keep heading that way and do not come back.
Do you understand? What's the bet they do a U-turn the minute we're over the horizon? XO: Yeah, well, we can't hang around to find out.
BUFFER: Let's go.
You get down! Now! There's no pulse.
Sir, she's gone into cardiac arrest.
We're administering adrenaline now.
What do you mean, 'no'? Yeah, OK, OK.
I I get that she probably wasn't gonna make it anyway, but What you're suggesting, I l- I don't know if I can do that.
Look Yeah, look, just give me a minute, OK? Swain? Swain? He wants me to wants me to cut the baby out.
MIKE: We need that medivac chopper.
MAN ON RADIO: Advise all medivac helicopters still engaged.
I can't give you an ETA.
Understood.
Keep me informed.
Uh, sir Um, the Chinese woman's passed away.
Swain did all he could.
And the baby? You can do this.
Don't think about it.
Just cut.
(CLEARS THROAT) Where where do I cut, sir? OK.
Yep.
I'm cutting through that second layer of muscle.
OK, I can see the uterine wall.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) (DOOR OPENS) Good, I need another set of hands.
Oh, OK.
Alright.
He's not breathing.
Bomber, that adrenaline.
BOMBER: Yep.
How much? Five mils.
Right.
Spider, I'm gonna need more towels.
Yep.
OK.
OK.
OK, Bomber, can you cut the cord, please? SWAIN: Come on, mate.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
(BABY COUGHS AND CRIES) Swain.
Swain.
Hey.
(CRYING CONTINUES) It doesn't seem right in here.
The garbage room's refrigerated, Spider.
She won't decompose.
Yeah, I know.
Still There's nowhere else for her to go, OK? Hey, Swain, they told me that you were Uh, excuse me.
She has come all of this way to end up in a garbage room? Swain, are you OK? Yeah, fine.
Is the baby? Baby's fine.
Bomber's looking after him.
Those her personal effects? Do you want a hand? I should fill in that report.
That's OK.
I'll look after them.
Ma'am, it's my job.
I'll fill out the report.
Swain.
Ma'am, I can fill in a report.
Swain, I said I'll take care of it.
(KNOCK AT DOOR, DOOR OPENS) Swain not here? No.
It's pretty warm.
Yeah, quick.
Shut the door.
Sorry.
I've turned the room temperature up to the max.
For the baby.
How's he doing? Does he need oxygen? Yeah.
But he's doing really well.
(DOOR OPENS) Hey! How about that to keep him warm? What have you been doing in my galley? Genius.
Good one, Charge.
I'll just get my tools, rig it up.
RO.
Do you happen to read any Chinese, by chance? Oh, enough to order yum cha.
Great.
Because I have some postcards here.
They are Yanlin's.
Ah.
Hmm, I recognise that symbol - it means 'sister'.
This is from Yanlin's sister, and her name is Xiao-Xiao.
Great.
And there's some postmarks from somewhere called Indigo Point.
Wouldn't you be better asking the Navigator? And there's some text messages on her phone.
Again, they are all in Chinese.
So can you please help me try and translate them? No.
Why not? Well, I have a schedule to maintain, and I'm behind.
Right, let me put this another way.
It is an order.
OK.
Well, we'll upload the text messages to the computer and we'll put them through a translation program.
Thank you.
There's that name again.
Xiao-Xiao.
Is this Xiao-Xiao's phone number? Apparently.
This might be her only family.
Oh, Swain isn't here? No, ma'am.
I'll go find him.
Are you OK with? Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you mind holding him for a second? Sure.
Yeah? (BABY GURGLES AND COUGHS) What do I do? Here.
Oh, hello.
(BABY GURGLES) He he's so small.
Yeah.
Is he OK? Yeah.
Just checking his blood circ Oh! He's trying to suck my finger.
Oh, hello.
We are gonna look after you.
Yeah, he's doing really well.
I can take him back.
No, he's OK.
X, do you think the baby qualifies as an Australian citizen? I mean, he was born on board 'Hammersley'.
It'd be great if he did.
But he doesn't.
Oh.
Where did you say Swain was? I heard you did an amazing job.
Thanks, ma'am.
Are you OK? Yeah.
How are you doing? Hey, Bomber, the immigration people have just arrived to pick up the baby.
Right.
Oh, don't look so worried, little man.
They'll look after you.
Do you mind if I have one more hold? I just never thought that I was Maternal? Mmm.
Let's go.
Swain.
We're handing over the baby.
SWAIN: Uh Wish him luck.
Here.
(BABY GURGLES) BUFFER: Richie Cunningham.
SPIDER: Yeah.
What's not to like? What are you lot doing? Not waiting for you, that's for sure.
We wanted to give him a little something before he left.
The boss will never miss it.
And this so he doesn't forget us.
OK, photo op.
Oh.
BOMBER: Smile.
I contacted Yanlin's sister.
I called her as soon as we got phone coverage.
Ma'am Isn't that a job for these officials? Swain, I think it's important that this child doesn't lose contact with its real family.
This child needs a mother.
It doesn't need months, if not years, of legal wrangling.
And I'm just trying to help speed things up.
It's your call.
Hey, would you like to meet her? What, the sister? Yeah.
No, thanks.
WOMAN: Excuse me.
You are Kate? Yes.
I am Xiao-Xiao.
Um, please sit down.
Can I get you a drink? A coffee or anything? Uh, no, no.
Thank you.
I'd like to start by telling you how deeply sorry I am about Yanlin.
Thank you.
It was shock to hear your news.
This is all that Yanlin had with her.
Thank you.
You'll be glad to hear that her baby is healthy and strong.
Yanlin - did she say anything before she die? Well, nothing that could be understood by us.
I see.
I know that you will appreciate more than anyone how important it is that this baby doesn't lose contact with its real family.
Yes.
Well, maybe you could tell me a little bit about Yanlin.
Like why she was travelling on this boat when she was full-term.
(CAR HORN BLARES, TYRES SCREECH) This is all she had? Excuse me? I'm not gonna say anything to anyone.
Wait.
Please.
RO: Now, that's Xiao-Xiao, the real sister.
Are you sure? RO: Well, I translated a few of the messages, and that image was attached to this message from Xiao-Xiao.
From Xiao-Xiao to Yanlin? Yes.
All of Xiao-Xiao's messages are a couple of months old.
This one basically says that she's arrived in Australia, "hope you can follow soon, my sister.
" Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And does she say where she is? Not that I can tell.
It was very light on detail.
It was fluffy stuff.
I know you think you were doing the right thing by the baby That was the idea.
but you should have gone through the proper channels.
Oh, snails move faster.
Well, now I've been asked if we have any material on the woman.
Wasn't that Swain's responsibility? I had it.
And I know I'm not supposed to, but am I the only one on this ship who is concerned about what really matters here? X, what really matters here is whether or not Don't you ever get tired of doing everything by the book? By the book?! Come on! I'm the one who has to say we've lost her things overboard.
Well, at least it proves something.
Oh, don't go there.
Do you know, it proves that there was something very wrong on that fishing boat.
The people-smuggling, sex trade racket, whatever it is, it is all very highly organised.
Now, I rang Xiao-Xiao's number to arrange a meeting, but someone else was sent in her place.
That means they have her phone.
She is in danger.
We are not the police.
You know, whoever these people are, they have gone to a lot of effort to steal Yanlin's personal effects, haven't they? So therefore, what did she have that they wanted so badly? Exactly what they got - anything that might identify them.
Well, they didn't get everything.
Because I still have this.
Yanlin's phone.
So our next patrol takes in everything from here to here.
So we have new orders, sir? I've assumed that the SIEV we intercepted has ignored our advice to stay away.
Ha! Yeah.
That sounds about right.
I've asked Coastwatch to keep a lookout.
If they have turned back, I'd like to deal with them.
Remembering that we're not the police.
SPIDER: Excuse me, X.
Mmm.
Um, I thought you might like one of these.
Oh, that's very nice.
Where did you get it from? and RO printed them up.
That's generous of RO.
He's usually very tight with his time.
No, he was tight.
I had to pay for them.
Oh, you really are gonna have to have a talk to him.
Do I have to? Sir.
RO! Got the report What? Um, Coastwatch have spotted a fishing vessel that matches the description of our SIEV.
Where? On a bearing of 3-2-3.
Nav, plot a course to intercept.
NAV: Yes, sir.
This should be their position, but that is not our SIEV.
MIKE: 'Galaxy 1', this is Australian warship 'Hammersley'.
Please acknowledge.
Michael Boon, ship's master.
What can I do for you? We're investigating the sighting of a suspicious vessel in this area.
What, you mean us? No, sir, we're looking for an Asian-style fishing boat.
It was spotted by a Coastwatch plane two hours ago.
You're the only boat on our radar.
We're wondering if you've seen it.
Nope.
Sorry, can't help you.
You're the first boat we've seen in days.
Are you sure? We might be a pleasure vessel, Captain, but we're not drunk.
We maintain a watch.
And, no, we haven't seen anything matching your description.
OK.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Hammersley out.
Where's it gone? Well, if it was coming back, and it would be heading towards the mainland, it should be here.
Maybe they turned around.
I mean, it doesn't make sense.
(PRINTER BEEPS) Oh, X.
Have you got something? Yeah, I thought we'd be out of range, but Yanlin's phone got another message.
It's from Xiao-Xiao.
Managed to do a rough translation.
It mentions Indigo Point again.
And basically, it's saying not to come here, "They make us do bad things.
" (READS) "You are free.
We are not.
Stay away.
But send help, please.
" Xiao-Xiao thinks that Yanlin is still alive.
MIKE: X, help me to understand.
Why Indigo Point? Because her sister, Xiao-Xiao, her text mentions Indigo Point.
And this SMS was sent from her phone? It's written in Pinyin, so it could be a local phone - there's no Chinese characters.
Maybe it's one of her captors.
Anyway, we've got the number.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) NAV: Sir.
Keep trying.
Three Indigo Points, and the closest is here, the north coast.
How far away? Three hours.
Alright.
Let's go.
MIKE OVER P.
A: Hear there? Captain speaking.
We'll be docking at Indigo Point in about two hours.
Shore leave will be available for all non-essential personnel until 2300.
That's all.
That's for you.
Here you go.
Hey, X.
Yeah? Shore leave so soon after heading out on patrol is a bit odd, isn't it? Almost like there's an ulterior motive, X.
Maybe it involves the ongoing investigation into the fishing vessel.
What, the Chinese lady? If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know, yeah? Oh, thanks, Spider.
Guys, listen up.
This isn't an operation, and I'm not going to brief you, but We're pretty keen to help, sir.
Good.
I just need you to keep your eyes open when we arrive.
Did you hear the news? Shore leave.
Uh yeah, I, um got a bunch of paperwork I've got to finish off.
So I figured I'd stay on the boat.
So you're OK? Yep.
I'm fine.
Hey, Bomb.
You did really well.
I mean, you don't have the training or the experience to handle any of that stuff and you did an outstanding job with Yanlin and the baby.
Should be really proud of the way you handled yourself.
Now, that was a nice thing to say.
She deserves it.
She did really well.
The boss has already told you, but just in case you didn't hear, you did your best.
And you can't do better than that, right? That's right.
And thanks to you, there is a new little baby boy in the world.
call a no-star holiday destination.
XO: 2 Dads, we are here to find Yanlin's sister.
BUFFER: Well, there's plenty of boys around who look like offshore oil riggers out for some R and R.
I think personally I'd rather stay out on the rig.
Now, X, don't take this the wrong way, but this is not the kind of place that a woman should be walking around on her own.
Normally I would be offended, but I take your point.
Alright, we're looking for a police station.
This way.
We'll head this way.
OK.
Have one for me.
XO: 2 Dads, you want to come with us? Allow me.
Alright, "In the event of an emergency, call blah, blah, blah, blah.
"The nearest full-time station is in Elliston.
" Where is Elliston? BUFFER: Just stay close, X.
XO: Yeah, I get the feeling everyone's watching.
(WOLF-WHISTLING) He's cute, isn't he? You OK, X? I've seen this place somewhere before.
I just don't know where.
Sir, signal just in from NAVCOM.
HMAS 'Larrakia' has just intercepted our SIEV.
Definitely the same boat? Yeah, definitely.
But they're headed north, not toward the mainland anymore.
North? Yeah.
And the other weird thing is that there are only three crew on board.
All men, no women.
Right.
So where have they dropped off the women? There you are, ladies.
I have to say, you're looking very, very pretty this evening.
Both of you.
You're looking very pretty.
So I was CHARGE: Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I was wondering if you wanted to One down.
have a date or something? Two No.
Buy you a drink and that's it.
That's great.
Knocked back.
I can't believe it.
I must be losing my touch.
(LAUGHS) I don't think so, mate.
The ones that are obviously prostitutes Which is all of them, mate.
Yeah.
I'd say they've been warned off us.
You reckon? Yeah.
I even offered 25% on the going rate.
Must be your personality, Charge.
That's a joke, right? How much for the night? Do I really look like that sort of girl to you? Yeah.
Is that your natural hair colour? Hey, hey, Bullman, do you reckon she's a natural blonde? One way to find out.
(BOTH LAUGH) It's the fumes.
So, um, I need some information.
Mm-hm.
Can you talk to me? Hm? I go outside.
You follow me.
Have a good night.
You OK, babe? I'm great.
Goodnight.
It's gonna be a very long night.
Have you got something? Yeah, that Chinese girl I was talking to, she knows something.
I'm sure of it.
Do you have Yanlin's sister's photo? Yeah, I do.
I'll call Swain and get him to watch your back.
Awesome.
I'll be back in a sec.
Be careful, alright? Hi.
What is your name? My name Daiyu.
Daiyu.
Can I show you something? Do you know her? You do? SWAIN: Hey! (DAIYU SCREAMS) Hey! Oi! What are you doing? SWAIN: Hey! Hey! Oi! (DAIYU SCREAMS AND SHOUTS IN MANDARIN) BUFFER: Swaino? You right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just a cut.
How's 2 Dads? How's your stitching? Good, I hope.
SWAIN: Is he alright? Yeah, I think so.
VOICE RECORDING: The person you have called is unavailable.
(BEEP) Are you sure it was this Zhang guy? Yes, ma'am, absolutely.
Keep still.
I know these women are here.
I know that look.
You're thinking jurisdiction.
Technically, if you're correct It is a police matter.
I said 'technically'.
The antiseptic you wanted.
Here, mate, just Here.
Wherever she said.
And you keep quiet.
Keep still.
Spider.
BOMBER: And keep thinking, "I'm a patient.
" You been ashore yet? No, boss.
Good.
Come with me.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKGROUND) G'day, mate.
Just a whisky, straight-up.
(PINBALL MACHINE PINGS) Actually, leave the bottle.
G'day, mate.
You're not a fisherman, are you? Nuh.
Oh, well, that's good.
I wouldn't recommend it as a career.
You know, if anyone tells you a month on a prawn boat is easy, tell them to go jump.
You plan to drink that on your own? Oh, yeah.
Feel free.
So, uh, where can a bloke get some horizontal action round here? You putting the word on me? Uh, no.
(LAUGHS) Just joking, mate.
There's plenty of action if you know where to look.
Yeah, well, I am looking, and, um it ain't promising.
You're a fussy man.
The place to look for some quality action's out to sea.
Are you going weird on me? There's a boat called the 'Galaxy' - floating pleasure palace.
Is that so? Oil riggers call it 'The Love Boat'.
Services all the towns up and down this coast.
Yeah, mate, now, that sounds promising.
You, uh you sell tickets or something? Not me.
You missed this trip.
Thursdays and Fridays are Indigo Point days.
She'll be back this afternoon.
Cheers.
Cheers.
MIKE: He said the 'Galaxy'? SPIDER: Yep.
That's the boat that we intercepted when we were looking for the fishing vessel, isn't it? Yes.
It's a floating brothel? Yeah, that's what I was told, ma'am.
I reckon that fishing boat must have transferred its women onto it.
So they were right under our noses the entire time.
It's due back around 1600, but we won't be waiting.
MIKE OVER RADIO: NAVCOM, this is Hammersley.
We are in pursuit of Australian registered vessel 'Galaxy', suspected of carrying illegal immigrants.
Radar has picked up five vessels close by.
This one's the largest.
Range five miles.
That's probably the one we're looking for.
Starboard 20, altering 0-0-2.
Slow ahead, both engines.
See what we can pick up on the EOD.
Bearing green 2-0.
SPIDER: There we go.
There's a sight.
Spider, do you recognise any of those women from the fishing boat? No, ma'am.
Are you going to wait for evidence? Prepare to board her.
OK.
BUFFER: Boarding party, secondaries off.
attention, please? The back of the boat.
I need you to the back of the boat, please.
Hurry up.
We're an Australian registered vessel.
Well, your rego is up to date.
Congratulations.
So you can't legally board us.
I think you will find that we can do any or all actions we deem necessary to enforce Australian law in our territorial waters.
Look, what is your problem? We're just having a party here.
Oh, parties illegal now, are they? We have reason to believe that this vessel is holding illegal immigrants, possibly against their will.
That's ridiculous! But all these people are my guests.
You just ask 'em.
Yeah, love, it's one big party.
Right, girls? You're more than welcome to join us, but you're a little overdressed.
Oi.
Watch your mouth.
Has anybody seen this woman? No.
No-one knows her.
Look, this is private property.
You guys should all just go.
Someone here knows her.
(PHONE BEEPS) (MOBILE PHONE RINGS) Search the boat.
Not so smart now, are you, big fella? Folks, the party's over.
Right, just stay seated, please, sir.
Stay seated.
Thank you.
No, she's not here, mate.
I'll check downstairs.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd make your way up to the upper deck, please.
Thank you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Come on.
Let's go, mate.
Thank you.
Have you seen her? Please tell me.
You're so scared.
Excuse me.
Meili.
It's Meili, isn't it? You know her? No.
Meili, wait.
You were on that boat with Yanlin.
Are you telling me that you don't recognise this woman? Yanlin? (SOBS) Yanlin, my friend.
What happened to my friend? I'm sor Sit down.
She died, you know.
Yanlin.
But do you care? Come on, then.
Australian Navy.
Game's over.
OK.
Make your way to the upper deck, please.
Come on, then.
(SHOUTS) Come on! (SHOUTS) (THUMP!) Buffer! What? Swain.
You OK? (GROANS) Yeah.
Go look for the others.
I'll clean him up.
(WOMAN GROANS) (WOMAN PANTS) (WOMEN SCREAM) It's OK.
It's OK.
We're the Australian Navy.
We're here to help.
Please relax.
It's OK.
It's OK.
We'll, uh It's OK.
Daiyu.
Daiyu.
BUFFER: Xiao-Xiao? Xiao-Xiao? Are you Xiao-Xiao? OK.
My name is Peter, OK? I'm here to help you.
Please come with me.
It's OK.
And they keep us lock up when we not working.
You don't have to worry about them anymore.
My sister, Yanlin? I, uh I wish that I had better news for you.
Swain Your sister, she she was very ill in childbirth.
She was bleeding very heavily, and and and we did all that we could to save her, but, um she she died.
