Death Ship Page #2

---

Come on honey. Nothing can happen

as long as we're all together.

Come on.

It smells a bit funny in here.

I wonder where the crew are?

Wherever they are, they certainly

don't care about this ship.

What nationality can they be?

How about German?

- German?

- Yeah, look at this.

It says... er... "Please replace games

where you found them", I think.

It's German.

I'm thirsty!

Me too!

Come on, let's see if we can find

the galley and get some water, hmm?

Come on Robin, get up.

Listen, I'm going to try and find

some clothes for everyone - okay?

I could use some help with Ashland.

Well I... I'll try and help you.

This it it, mum.

Right Robin, you start over there,

and Ben and I will start over here.

Robin, now be careful

and don't eat anything.

No no darling! Don't drink that!

No, not until we boil it, right?

That's it, there's a good boy.

Anybody there?

The steam comes up here

and runs down there.

That's called condensation.

That's right Robin.

We learned it at school.

Just proves that not everything

you learn in school is useless, hmm?

Oh look!

Darling, there's some water over there.

Oh, thanks.

Has anyone seen Nick?

No.

Hello.

Hello! Hello!

Hello!

Who's there?

Hello!

Probably Nick?

Probably.

Ashland...

...knnen Sie Mich hren, Kapitn?

Sie sind hier endlich in Sicherheit.

Ich erwarte Sie auf der Brcke.

Sofort!

Kommen Sie zur Brcke!

These old ships'll row on anything.

Even wet blotting paper.

Nick!

Nick, can you hear me?

Coming!

Nick!

This door was locked.

What the hell's going on here?

Did you find anyone?

No. There's nobody on board.

Well, where are they?

C'mon Nick.

Don't let this door shut!

What happened to you?

What is it with this ship?

It's like it's running itself.

Take me to the chart room.

Kapitn Ashland, Sie gehren zum Schiff.

Sie mssen es sofort fhren.

Sofort!

I've gotta get to the bridge.

No Captain Ashland, No.

What... ship is this?

I don't know Captain Ashland.

No-one knows.

Captain Asland. No...

No, you... must lay down.

Rest.

Rest!

Rest.

That's odd.

The course marked on this chart...

...just goes around the Atlantic

in huge circles.

Captain, take a look at this.

This equipment must be

over forty years old.

We can't use this junk

to send out a signal.

Let's hope our first message got through.

Look at this!

This one's about Hitler.

Who is he?

A rather unpleasant man,

he started World War Two.

Is this Hitler?

Not quite...

The King of England.

I know a perfect recipe...

...and everything that worries me...

...it's simple, shall

I pass it along?

Well if you want to wear a smile...

...and be so happy all

the while, just...

Listen. There's that music again.

He's wrong.

There is someone else on board.

Let's take a look.

Come on Ben.

Let's stay together.

This is incredible.

What the hell are those

engines using for fuel?

All these gauges read zero.

Come on, let's get outta here.

Lead the way!

We've gotta get off this ship!

The lifeboats!

That's odd. I'm sure it was coming

from this direction.

- Not in there.

- Maybe it's in the next room.

It's a movie house.

Movie house? It can't be.

Can we run the film mummy? Can we?

I don't know.

Let's see.

It works!

I know a perfect recipe...

...and everything that worries me...

...it's simple. Shall

I pass it along?

Well if you want to...

Mrs Morgan...

Mrs Morgan...

- What? What is it?

- It's a movie.

- Come quick!

- A movie?

It should work, It looks well greased.

Let's go below, get cleaned up,

and get the others...

...and get off this ship.

Stop moaning and put the lights on.

I'll get it.

What's happening to... to me?

Mrs Morgan!

Don't touch her mummy!

She's poisonous!

Robin! Come back! Robin!

Help me.

Help...

Tten Sie, Ashland...

...das ist das richtige!

Tten Sie, Ashland...

...worauf warten Sie?

Es tut nicht weh.

What happened to you?

Daddy, daddy, I'm real frightened.

Can we all get off this ship please.

Thank God.

It's Mrs Morgan.

Stay with them Nick.

Oh Nick.

She's dead.

Of a seizure. It was quite quick.

At least she won't be in pain any more.

I suggest you assemble everyone

for a burial at sea.

We are gathered here to

pay our last respects...

...to a wonderful woman...

...that sadly, we knew

for such a short time.

Those are quite the wrong words,

Marshall.

Perhaps you will allow me?

Let us pray...

...for the soul of our

dearly departed sister.

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered.

Accept our prayers on behalf

of our servant departed...

...and grant her entrance into

the halls of light and joy...

...in the fellowship of thy saints

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Almighty God, we commend her spirit...

...and we commit her body to the deep...

...in the sure hope of the

resurrection and eternal life...

...through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

The boats!

The boats are our last chance!

Damn it I know it!

Quick, the other boat.

They're floating away, Dad!

This damned ship!

It's like it's alive,

trying to kill us!

Marshall!

Can you step up to the Bridge please.

Would you care to inspect the Wheel House?

Charts, sextant, log book.

Daily sailing orders.

Main steering gear.

How do you like my chair, Marshall?

Ideal for long trips.

Did you say "your" chair?

Yes.

You'll get one when you are a Captain.

In the meantime, this is my ship,

and I am the Captain.

Would you like to steer her?

All of my previous passengers

liked to do that.

They liked to pretend to be a Captain.

Like you.

But it's no so easy.

Try it.

You took my last ship from me.

You won't get this one.

I didn't take your ship from you.

The company took it from you.

And you know why?

Because you can't deal with people.

You don't know how to handle

a crew or passengers.

Maybe so Marshall.

But I know how to handle ships.

Engine room!

Full ahead!

A captain never leaves his post,

even a pretend captain like you, Marshall.

Ashland, you're sick.

I'm taking command of this ship.

You can't.

No one can take this ship away from me!

Where do you plan to sail her?

Eternity, Marshall.

Eternity.

Come on Robin.

I want you to try and get some rest.

I can't. I'm too scared.

Oh shhh... there's nothing we can do

until tomorrow morning.

Why? Why do we have to wait?

I wanna go now.

Quiet. You'll wake Ben.

Now listen to me.

I want to get off this ship

as much as you do, but...

...we've got to wait until it's light so

we can all see what we're doing.

Daddy thinks it's best that

we stay right where we are.

We're warm, and dry and...

...we've got something to eat, and...

well...

Understand?

What is it?

Ashland's totally schizophrenic.

He's taken on the role

of a German naval officer.

It's as if this ship has somehow

taken possession of him.

Where is he now?

I left him in the Wheel House.

- Ben's sleeping?

- Yes, yes.

We'll lock ourselves in for the night,

til we figure a way to get off this ship.
