S2 | E10 — CUTTING THE LINES
Notes de l’épisode
That moment when belief and doubt finally collide.
In this episode, Sarah traces the fallout after IntSAR’s internal mutiny. With trust eroded and questions mounting, key members begin to step away, revealing just how far-reaching the promises of Admiral Peter Cowell had become.
From Thailand to Fiji, and across encrypted messages and recorded calls, The BADmiral follows the final unraveling of a story that started with hope, purpose, and uniforms — and ended in silence, debt, and disillusionment.
Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received.
All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.
