The staff on the Kinloch Bravo are coming to a rotation point, where many of them will go back to their families after their extended stint off the Scottish shore. The rig’s commander, Magnus (Iain Glen), is contending with that turnover plus the presence of Rose (Emily Hampshire), sent by the oil company to evaluate the Kinloch field and see if their money would be better spent elsewhere.The staff due to rotate out are eager to leave, including the brash young technician Baz (Calvin Demba), who gets angry when he finds out he’s bumped from the next chopper out, with Fulmer (Martin Compston), the communications specialist, getting his seat. During an all-hands meeting, Magnus tells the crew that the next choppers out have been diverted to the Bravo’s sister rig because of an emergency. That stokes the anger of the people due to go home, especially Hutton (Owen Teale), a senior member of the crew who has been vocally critical of Magnus’ leadership.The Rig Season 1 Download.
Then the power goes out. As the crew scrambles to get the rig back online, Magnus decides to shut down the drill, over the objections of Rose. Fulmer finds that the radio to the mainland isn’t working. Once the power goes on, though, they have to contend with another problem: A thick fog enshrouds the entire rig, cutting visibility to almost nothing. In an effort to find out what’s going on, Magnus sends Fulmer and Baz up to the top of the communications tower, where the two rivals have a confrontation.
On the way down, Baz’s tether unhooks and he falls, leaving him critically injured. As Cat (Rochenda Sandall), the rig’s medic, does whatever she can to keep Baz alive, but knowing he needs to be airlifted to a hospital, Hutton rages against Magnus more than ever. But Hutton’s rage isn’t just pointed towards his boss; when he gets in Cat’s face about getting Baz better care, Cat takes him down, literally.
