S2 | E4 — TORPEDOING THE TRUTH
⚓️ S2 | E4 — TORPEDOING THE TRUTH
The deeper Sarah dives, the murkier the waters become.In this episode, she begins piecing together IntSAR’s shifting history — from early company records to its modern-day reincarnation — uncovering documents that raise questions about what was promised, what was delivered, and what might have been imagined.
As veterans and former insiders recount their experiences, one thing becomes clear: truth can be slippery when wrapped in uniforms, titles, and purpose. With every new discovery, Sarah edges closer to understanding how an organisation claiming to save lives could leave so many people adrift.
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 explore how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.
