- Fetch. Fetch, by far, is his favorite.

- What does he fetch?

You'll see.

What?

I've never seen him take to anybody

like that before.

Except once.

I thought maybe he was like that

with everyone.

- He's only like that with family.

- I'm not his family.

Tell him that.

- Is this your job?

- Yeah.

- Do you like it?

- Yeah.

I didn't know people had jobs

like that.

- Neither did I.

- Hey, turn in there.

Me and my dad built this porch

last summer.

- It's a big family.

- Yeah.

What's it like

to have a big family?

- Just like any family, you know.

- No, I don't.

- This isn't right.

- What?

Even though he's doing

something wrong, he's still your dad.

You dropped this.

I don't want it.

Stop him myself.

- Where are you?

- Getting the proof we need.

- Where are you?

- If I tell you, promise not to be mad.

- Know what they'll do if they catch you?

- And if they catch Willy?

Right now, I'm more worried

about you than I am about Willy.

Listen. Wesley's still at the bar.

Keep him there.

I don't want this boat leaving

with me on it.

Sorry, gotta go!

Mom? What do you do if somebody makes

you do something you don't want to?

- Who?

- Just someone.

You should never let

other people tell you what to do.

Stick up for yourself.

Do what you think is right.

Do you always have to do what's right,

even if it hurts?

That's the hardest part.

You should do it even if it hurts.

- Is that what you do, Mom?

- I try my best.

- Bed.

- No.

- Bed.

- No.

We'll take two of the tall ones.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, right.

You should go get the captain.

Take your time and get

a good night's sleep tonight.

- He wants to leave soon as we're ready.

- All right, all right.

Don't worry, I'll get those.

- I think I found something.

- Get out of there.

- They won't be here much longer.

- You gotta buy me more time.

What do you expect me to do?

- Ask them to dance or something.

- They're not my type.

- Wish me luck.

- Good luck.

- What if they catch him?

- Who?

Your father? He would never get caught.

- Would he have to go to jail?

- No. Is that what you're worried about?

- He would never have to go to jail.

- Then what would happen?

They'd take away his boat.

Maybe make him pay a fine.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

You know your father loves you

very much, don't you?

He does what he does for us. To make

us happy, put a roof over our heads.

- Yeah, but don't you ever wish--?

- No, I don't.

Don't you ever wish he would stop?

Don't you ever wish

he would do something else?

I love you, Max.

You could tell him.

He'd listen to you.

I believe in your dad.

I support him, for better or worse.

Good night, Max.

Kron says he's got everything

wired up, ready to go, so...

Cancel our order. Let's go.

Wesley!

- John Wesley! I thought it was you.

- Do I know you?

- Randolph?

- I remember you from the old days.

I hit the jackpot.

I don't remember you

from the old days.

But I remember you.

Boy, do I remember you.

Stop fooling around.

- We'll catch up next time, friend.

- You don't understand.

I know who you are and what you do.

I'm no friend of yours.

Great.

You're making a mistake.

I suggest you ride out

on the boat you came in on.

- Thanks.

- Don't mention it.

- The natives don't look too friendly.

- Let's get a drink.

- Dineen, make some coffee.

- Okay.

- Let's get the hell out of here.

- You got my vote.

Ready.

Standing by.

Star's aweigh.

Great.

- You dropped this.

- What are you doing here?

Getting in trouble.

So, what are we gonna do?

- We have to swim back to shore.

- We are not.

All right.

- What are you doing?

- See you later.

Here's your proof.

Pulled this out of Willy's tail...

...this I found under the deck

of the Botany Bay.

- We were right.

- I see.

- You gotta stop them.

- That's what we're gonna do.

We'll call in first thing in the morning.

We could put them out of business.

But only if we move now.

I won't risk $2 million worth of

equipment to do the Marine Patrol's job.

There are rules

that have to be followed.

Now why don't you just sit down,

and I'll get you a soda.

- We've got a very busy day ahead of us.

- No, thanks.

- I'm tired. Get some sleep.

- Suit yourself.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Thanks for all you've done.

- It was nothing.

No kidding.

Those guys left.

They're after the whole pod tonight.

Willy, Nicky, Nicky's baby.

Can I ask you a question?

- Ten years in jail.

- What?

The penalty for borrowing a boat

that's not yours. It's called piracy.

Ten years in jail. Do not pass GO.

Do not collect $200.

You're right. It was a bad idea.

Let's do it.

I'm down in Drake's room,

looking for the key.

What are you looking for?

- The spare starter key.

- You're stealing the boat?

Going after the whalers?

You'll go to jail.

- I can live with that.

- Why?

Because it's the right thing to do.

You work for me, Randolph.

You understand that?

I guess you'll have to fire me.

What if...

...I were to order you to ready

this boat for immediate departure?

It means you lose your job.

They told me to keep an eye on you.

That is exactly what I'm going to do.

Stevens, where did you put the boat?

- I don't hear anything.

- The whales will.

Okay. The signal we've stolen will

take out the whole pod in a week.

Tell Sanderson to arm the harpoon.

- Hi, Dad.

- What are you doing here?

I was looking for you.

I guess I fell asleep.

What's going on?

I have a question.

Here, take this.

Squeeze some oil in the pivot joint.

- Why is it wrong to hurt other people?

- That's the rule, Max. It just is.

Don't you ever want to do what you

want, no matter who it hurts?

Maybe. You just don't do it.

Why?

- Why what?

- Why don't you do it?

People have rights.

- Even people you hate?

- Yep.

- I didn't know I had rights.

- You do.

- Dad?

- Yes, Max.

What if whales are like people?

- They aren't.

- But what if they are?

Whales are animals. They were

put here by God for us to hunt.

Do you get upset

eating a cheeseburger?

- Why not?

- Whales don't feel. They aren't people.

They're just fish.

You're wrong.

- You know better than me? You're 10.

- But you're wrong, Dad.

I've been wrong all my life. And my dad,

and his dad. We're all wrong.

- You're hurting people.

- Who? I'm not hurting anyone.

- Captain.

- What is it this time?

Sorry, captain,

but I think you should know.

I found this in the engine room.

J-Pod's turning around.

They're heading right for the Botany Bay.

Where are they?

From the sound of it, about five

kilometers north-northwest. And closing.

This thing works like a charm.

They've stolen your signal.

Willy won't know the difference.

- They're swimming into a trap.

- Thinking it's me.

I can't see a thing.

We'd better hurry.

Something just occurred to me.

When we find them,

what are we gonna do?

Here they are.

Ten o'clock.

Let's go.

- We're too late.

- They're around the point.

- We just need a few minutes.
