Charlie St. Cloud Page #5

The hell you are.

l know

where she is, Tink.

Do you?

l know where she is!

That's it, whack jobI

Go back to your

coffin before l.,.

l know where

Tess is, Tink!

And she's running

out of time!

Charlie! Shut up!

Charlie! Go.

Go back inside.

He's not worth it.

She's running out of time!

Tink, we're going,

all right?

What are you doing?

Sorry about that.

The key's in the ignition,

all right? Go.

Go, go, go, go, go, Quick!

Go, go, go, go! Go!

Stop right now!

I don't think

he's gonna make it.

you son of a b*tch!

Oh, he made it.

Stay down,

stay down, stay down.

You frigging nutjob!

Relax, relax.

Calm down, all right?

Calm down!

Where are you two

taking my boat?

Cape Flattery.

That's 20 miles

from Tess' last

known position.

But it's exactly

where she would have been

if she sailed straight

into the storm, Tink!

She's about to

sail around the world.

She would have

wanted to test her boat

in heavy weather,

You didn't even

know her, St. Cloud.

How could you possibly know

what she would have done?

Because it's what

l would have done, Tink.

That's what any

sailor would do.

l'm good. l'm good.

You all right?

l'm gonna let

you up, all right?

Relax.

All right. AIl right,

Charlie. Say you're right.

Say she wanted to

test the boat. Okay?

It doesn't matter

'cause we both know

that no one can survive

for three days in

these cold waters.

Just listen to me, Tink.

She's alive.

She's alive.

She's alive, Tink.

Flattery Light!

What time is it?

Midday.

We've covered eveything

up to Spike Rock,

Let me grab the wheel.

Come on, l got it,

lt's my boat.

l know what to do. Come on.

Come on.

Keep your eyes open.

Get some rest.

lf we start now,

we could make it back

to Quincy by sunset,

What is it you do

in the woods

every night, man?

lf l told you,

you wouldn't.,.

You wouldn't believe me.

l would believe you.

You're my mate.

You know, she might

not even be out there.

What's up, Charlie?

We going back?

Or are we moving on?

l'm going to find Tess.

Charlie?

Charlie?

Forgive me, Sam.

l love you, Charlie.

Sam?

Over there!

Outer rocks! That way!

Just bear right,

all right? Slow down.

We should be

coming up on it.

We're clear on

the starboard side.

AIl right, that first

one's going past us now.

There it is!

Goddamn it, Tess!

It's at 10 o'clock,

about 10 meters off.

l can see it,

l can see the base!

l'm bringing her back.

Bear right, mate!

Bear right!

l got it,

l got it, l got it.

Get as close as you can!

Hey!

Hey!

Charlie, what are you doing?

Charlie! Charlie,

the water's like ice!

Don't be an idiot, mate!

Please wait for

the Coast Guard!

If we wait,

it'll be too late.

You won't last long enough

to save her, mate, Please!

This is why l was

given a second chance.

No! Wait! Charlie!

We need immediate

medical assistance

for one,..

Two!

He just dove in!

Make it two people!

Tess?

Tess?

Tess?

Tess.

Tess.

Charlie!

I won't!

Come find me.

Sit tight.

Sit tight!

Never steal

another man's gin.

Water.

Water.

Yeah, all right.

Welcome back.

How you doing?

How is she?

Yeah, she's good, mate.

Yeah, she's good,

She's recovering.

Doctor said she

had hypothermia.

And when you hugged her,

your body warmth

kept her alive.

Look, well done, mate.

Proper hero.

l heard you were back home.

lsn't this

Bemelman's old boat?

lt's mine now.

They were gonna

strip it for scrap,

so l took it off their hands.

l always loved this boat.

Well, l'm gonna fix her up,

make some modifications.

Oh, yeah? Some flukes?

Yeah.

Some flukes.

You know,

that was the last

conversation l had

before l woke up

in the hospital bed.

Really?

Yep. Well, unless you include

Tink's radio chatter.

Which l don't.

You have a good memory.

Well, there's one thing

l'll never forget.

lt's that you saved my life,

Charlie St. Cloud.

She's a blue-water cruiser.

Where you headed?

Evermhere.

As soon as she's sound,

l'm gonna sail

around the world,

Well, good luck.

Do you want to go

for a spin?

No, not today.

Come on, Tess.

You're gonna have to get back

on the water eventually,

l will. l will.

lt's not the water that

l'm afraid of, Charlie.

lt's you.

Me?

The way you

make me feel.,.

l don't know,

l've been having

these visions,

or maybe dreams,

but they're more

vivid than any dreams

that l've ever had, And.,.

And you're in them.

And we're in them, And.,.

Never mind.

They're not dreams, Tess.

They're memories.

''trust your heart

if the seas catch fire

"and live by love though

the stars walk backward"

How did you know that?

lt's E.E. Cummings,

It was your dad's favorite.

lt's about taking chances.

Just take a chance, Tess.

My legs are still

a little wobbly.

No worries.

l miss you.

l'm okay, Charlie.

l'd give anything

for you to see me,

what l'd have become.

But no one ever gets to see

what could have been.

Sorry l had to

break our deal.

lt was time.

l mean, it's beyond anything

we ever imagined, Charlie.

l hurt as bad as

the day you died.

You hurt because

you're alive,

We'll always be brothers.

promise?

Every day?

Come rain or shine?

Come hell or high water?

l promise.

l'm gonna pretend

l like that,
