- You won't kill anybody else?
- Good Lord, no.
Good. i must get
some hot food inside me.
Bloody RAF with their damn cheese rolls.
if you got yourself a walkie-talkie,
you wouldn't have to row across.
The Shangri-la.
that died recently?
who are you? Police?
Sort of. i think you'd better
come and see a friend of mine.
They said they would kill my boys.
i had no choice.
i just have to string along with them.
Like bringing them as Customs men
to your boat to smash the radio.
Like keeping silent when i see all
the criminal goings-on around here.
People and boats disappear, you know,
if they go in certain places.
it's incredible. Skouras.
Yes, sir. There's a Captain imrie
sometimes and a man called Quinn...
Sergeant, let me give you
My colleague is missing, a pilot was
killed today and i should have been.
48 hours ago, two of Sir Arthur's
agents were murdered
on a boat out in Loch Huron.
They may or may not have your boys
in safe keeping
but you can't afford
to take promises from them.
- You've got to help us, and fast.
- what do you want me to do?
it's the dawn.
i've seen the dawn before, thank you!
Duck shooting, was it?
Don't be so bloody insolent!
Especially at sea.
Especially before breakfast.
Help!
- Hey, who's that?
- i've no idea. Come on.
Help!
All right. Come on.
All right. You're safe. Give me your hand.
Come on. Up you come.
Come on.
i wanted to warn you.
Last night, the policeman -
MacDonald, i think he's called -
came aboard.
Go on.
when he left, they -
i mean my husband and the others...
- They decided you must be stopped.
- Stopped?
You know what i mean.
i've known for ages
something was wrong.
- Strange journeys. Strange men aboard.
- why did you want to warn us?
- That's obvious.
- Shut up!
Go on.
You were the only one around.
And i had to get off that boat.
- Again, why?
- i wanted to see how the other half sail.
You must forgive Mr Calvert.
He has naturally bad manners.
Let me help.
You took a great risk coming here,
my dear.
i had nothing to lose.
we've still got a lot to lose.
Let's go.
we've wasted enough time already.
Are you sure it's Loch Huron?
Du Skea. Must be
by process of elimination.
The castle's a natural base. Someone
radioed that i was in the helicopter.
if there's more intimidation,
it fits in with the Kirkside situation.
The daughter's attitude.
Ah, we've got company.
They're coming for me.
Open the wheelhouse door,
keep it back on the latch.
Take the wheel. when i shout,
turn it about, then cut the engine.
Now!
Look out. He's going to ram us!
Down!
Stop engines.
The ranks of the ungodly
are being depleted.
That killlng lsn't necessary
just to protect me.
Nelther do l.
That was to square thlngs for Hunslett.
why are we going to Du Skea?
Or do i mind my own business?
i can't take much more of this.
we're going to prove
Britannia rules the waves.
we're onto them and it doesn't give
them much time to unload their bullion.
- They can't unload bullion here.
- Yes. Loch Huron.
You can't hide a freighter the size
of the Nanceville in Loch Huron.
it's easy to hide a ship.
Just open the sea c*cks.
They're not in Loch Huron.
They're under it.
it ought to be drinkable.
- Did you get through?
- Yes.
Food for thought.
There was a Captain imrie in charge
of a Skouras Line ship -
a liner on a luxury cruise in 1963.
She went down with 70 lives.
There would have been a big stink
for pilot error. lnteresting.
i don't quite know what you're
getting at but never mind. Go on.
i've told them that Annabel
is enjoying the cruise.
Did you?
Tell me about the first Lady Skouras.
when did she die?
About a year ago.
- Devoted couple?
i'm wondering
about the present Lady Skouras.
i wonder when she met him.
i must have a word
with the blushing bride.
what are you doing?
Taking this boat to Loch Huron
- i don't know which is more difficult.
- why bother?
i want to put my mind at ease.
There's nothing to know.
i married a multi-millionaire
who turns out to be a crook.
That would be all right
so long as he stays a rich crook...
but i don't like being caged in
with all those other villains,
i don't like being kicked around
and i can't stand the Scottish weather.
- So you walked out?
- i swam out. Remember?
Yeah.
No regrets
about leaving anything behind?
Yes. A very expensive wardrobe.
Maybe you joined the wrong side.
Maybe we won't come out on top.
i can always swim back.
He wants to see you. God, you look
terrible. i hope it's not my coffee.
Boats would be wonderful if only one
didn't have to go to sea in them.
Keep her running up and down outside.
Don't get any nearer than we are.
Fall out of your helicopter?
Yeah.
Cheers.
Sorry about being so informal.
Think nothing of it.
But next time bring a woman.
Haven't you got enough?
There's no pleasure
in just looking at them.
That's like eating chocolate
with the paper on. Here.
No, i'm driving. Listen. i need your help.
i'd better tell you who i am
and what i want you to do for me.
Not if you don't have another drink.
Look at that boat.
it's coming here.
Here we go again.
Take the wheel, will you, dear?
what are you trying to do?
Repel all boarders?
Bring that gear aboard.
Take it back to Torbay. Keep in sight
of the mainland till midnight.
(Hutchinson) it's a hell of a story,
Sir Arthur, but we'll help.
Anyhow, it make a change
from shark fishing.
This boat's well known in the area.
Tim will take us to Du Skea.
First we'll go to that place...
i can never pronounce its name.
Mouth of the Grave.
You'll never sail through there.
Of course i will.
After a few more of these.
wish you hadn't come?
This is it if you're sure
it's this 14-fathom ledge.
it must be. it's the only logical
place where you can sink a ship.
Here at seven fathoms,
the sea bed is too flat -
no place to hide masts or funnels.
But beyond that, over here - 35 fathoms,
too deep, too much pressure.
- 14 fathoms. The only logical place.
- Good luck.
- it's the Shangri-la!
- Get below, you two.
Oh, it's Hutchinson's boat.
Yes. The local shark fisherman.
No panic. it's all right.
is it?
Because nothing
has been all right so far, has it?
i can't see them unloading
Maybe they'll take what they've got
and get out.
They don't know for sure
that we know about the bullion.
Anyway, i was lucky.
Quinn's death looks like an accident.
Are we going in or not?
My lads feel like a bit of exercise.
First we go back to your place.
They'll get all the exercise
they need at midnight -
after i make sure other people are safe.
