Hey...what's the matter...

What are you doin'?

The carburettors are running a little thin

for this speed.

Hey...your friend here...

No sense carryin' him...

Throw 'im over!

He never knew what hit 'im.

Come on...come on!

Get it over!

You know...the heaviest thing in the world

is a dead man.

You ever lifted a dead man before?

Sure...plenty of times.

Not many friends, though.

Hey...that's better, eh?

Not so crowded now!

Where is it?

- What'd he do with it?

- With what?

- You know what...You threw it over!

- You're crazy.

Crazy am I?...

You did it on purpose!

Give me a gun I'll kill 'im

and throw 'im over!

Shut up!

Lookin' for any trouble, Cappy?

I'd just as soon see you all

with your guts hanging out.

Got any guns aboard?

Any guns at all?

Where are they?

I was gonna show you.

You just tell me where...

He'll go.

In the locker.

Got any shells?

How do you think your gonna get

to where you're going?

Come in 6497 "The Sea Queen".

Come in please.

Repeat...this is Charlie George...

the Coast Guard at Point Daunt

calling Charlie 6497. "The Sea Queen"

come in please.

If you got any idea...forget it.

Don't you want to hear

what they say about you?

I know everything they could say...

I was there.

What happened to Duncan?

He's dead...He wasn't very smart.

You're smart.

You're so smart I was wondering why

you took this job.

$1000.

You know what I think?

I think you wanted a reward.

Yeah...you had some corny idea

about capturing us for the reward.

Yeah...that's right!

Here..take it a while...I want to get

my jacket, I'm cold.

Cold, eh...in the feet, maybe?

Want somethin' to eat?

Blue channel...

please stay off this channel.

This is Charlie George the Coast Guard

asking for a clear channel on this frequency.

Clear channel...please stay off this channel

This is Charlie George the Coast Guard

asking for a clear channel on this frequency.

Want a drink?

I never drink.

You're very nervous.

That's because I've never been killed before.

What's that?

I dunno.

It ain't runnin' right.

I'd better take a look.

Hold the wheel now...

Steady...steady!

Nothing serious...

I'll have it fixed in a minute.

Watch the course!

Come out!

Come out!

Cut the engine...

Gasoline...

You'll burn up...you got a chance still...

I got a kind of a chance!

One thing to spoil it...

One thing to go wrong...

That little hiding rat...

Who'd 've thought I hadn't gotten him?

A man alone...

A man alone ain't got no chance.

A man alone ain't got no chance.

Not a chance.

Coast Guard at Point Daunt

to William Charlie 6497 "The Sea Queen"

Come in please.

Come in please!

"The Sea Queen"...come in please!

This is PBY278 05...

To Newport...Have spotted Sea Queen.

Location map reference 180 A4

Repeat...180 A4

Boat is not moving...

No signs of life aboard.

Say...what happened out there?

Come on, give...it isn't too late

to get some sleep...if you come across.

It looks like Morgan shot 'em all.

Got shot up himself.

Morgan, too, eh...

Is he hurt bad?

From what they tell me, he's so close

to being dead, it doesn't matter.

No!?...No!?

Here they come.

They need you on board, Mrs Morgan.

The children had better wait up there.

You wait up there.

The quicker the better with this...

Your husband's left arm

will have to be amputated.

We need permission to do it.

I can't do that!

I can't!

He won't give us permission...

He won't even let us take him ashore.

He'll die if we don't get him to a hospital

and operate right away.

You'd better talk to him.

The kids are with me...

they're outside, waiting...

Been waiting a long time.

They're not gonna cut my arm off!

You'll die, Harry!

I'll die. Let me die...I'll die!

It isn't just you...

I'll die too.

I won't be anything any more...

You don't want that.

Like crashing cargo on a hill.

With luck...yeah...maybe...

No luck...no luck...

I wanna sleep nights...

You know I can't sleep

when you're gone.

When you're away on a trip...

I don't sleep.

Harry...Don't leave me all alone!

Man alone ain't got no chance...

tell Lucy, tell her...

I'm here, darling...

I'm always here...

Lucy!

Lucy!

I need you...I thought I lost you...

I need you!

I thought you were gone.

No...never!

I wanna sleep.

You'll have to do something

before you go to sleep.

You have to tell me

what to do.

They want to take your arm off, Harry.

Don't say no...

You'll die if they don't.

I need you.

Will you stay with me?

Will we be alright?

- Will we be alright?

- Yes, darling.

Tell 'em to go ahead.

I need you, Lucy...I need you.

Don't leave me...don't...

Don't leave me!

I love you, darling!

You're more of a man

than anybody I've ever met.

Go to sleep now.

He's gonna be alright, isn't he Doctor?

He'll be alright, you'll see.

But you'll have to pray for him...

You'll have to pray very hard now.

You know the guy?

Yeah...I know him.

How I hate mornings...

The worst part of the day!

C'mon...break it up...

Let's go folks...let's go...

That's it...break it up folks...let's go.
