Bye-bye.

I open for 10.

Raise ten.

You're ten?

Raise your fist.

Okay.

Cards?

I'll take two.

How much is there, Louie?

150. Okay, I bet that.

And 500.

I called.

What are you using for money, Monk?

My credit's good.

Not for 500, it isn't.

I'm calling you.

You don't have no pet hand. You can't bluff me out.

Okay, let's see your money.

I give you an IOU.

No keepsakes.

I'm sailing out of this dump today.

So it's either put up or shut up.

Bluey. I ain't got it, Monk. Not that kind of money.

Okay, you gonna pay or what?

Guess not.

Well, that wraps it up.

You can't play with a bum dick, can you?

You gotta pay to see those. He didn't have it, Monk.

Of course he didn't have it.

Leave it alone, Monk. I don't want no trouble in my hotel.

Shut up.

I don't get bumped out of no $500 pot.

We play this one with my rules. I didn't really want to stay for any more.

But if you insist.

Treat the boys to a new deck. On me.

Thank you.

Oh, there you are, Mr.

Reisner. Don't you ever give up. Well, I was just keeping an eye on things. These

kids, you know, you can't trust them an inch.

Yeah, and some of them wear long pants, so blow.

I'm busy.

Oh, yes, of course. I was just hoping you'd change your mind. I could be very

useful to you now I've got contacts.

If only you'd give me another chance, I'm sure I could prove my worth. Anybody

can make a mistake.

You've made yours.

Oh, my mother's life, I knew nothing about that. I just thought I was put in

the way of a quick profit.

You've put me onto something, all right.

Two boatloads of Coast Guard, now beat it.

I've got work to do. Well, this is a bonafide proposition, Mr. Reisner. In

this world, you've got to think big.

Why risk your neck smuggling for peanuts when my contacts will make a quick kill

and retire?

Thing it over, Mr.

Reisner.

Nothing serious.

Put me down.

All

set?

Yes.

Check with me at the hotel after you've refueled.

After you've refueled, you mean.

All he ever thinks about is getting ashore.

How long shall we be here, Captain?

I beg your pardon? I wondered how long we're staying.

Just a few hours, madam. We take off again at twenty hundred.

At eight o'clock, Miss Shaw.

This is quite an interesting little port. Very primitive.

Yes, I got that impression.

I told you to keep it in my room. What happened?

I'll tell you what happened.

Monk lost a lot of money and sped up some blood.

Two things that don't please him. You tell Monk he's got my word, the word of

an Englishman. He'll have his money tonight and I'll throw in the price of a

blood transfusion. Tell him what is coming to money.

Then perhaps you like to pay your bill.

All accounts will be settled in full tonight.

Where's the hotel para you're not going to stay there. Mr. I said, where is it?

Oh, you said well on the Arbor Road. Thanks

Mullen whitey Mullen

Peterson Come

in mr. Peterson

you you got my cable any is he still here?

Oh, yes, I'm as good as my words now.

Not that it hasn't been difficult.

I've gone to considerable trouble. I've put myself out quite a bit over this.

Sit down.

I didn't count the cost.

One has a duty to perform.

Yes, I'm sure your motives were of the highest order. Where is he?

Yes.

First of all, what about the...

Okay, okay. He's in the harbour on his boat, the Sea Spray.

But there's been some mistake, surely?

Not that I know of. But the money the figure advertised was £500.

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, what's this then? Some sort of joke?

No, it's a genuine ticket.

One way to Carahoo on tonight's flight.

Why would I want to go to Carahoo?

To do your duty.

You're the key witness.

You'll have to give evidence. But I can't go. I'm a busy man. I've got

commitments.

Then you'll have to get out of them if you want a reward.

Oh, now, wait a minute. Look, look, I've got to think this thing out. There must

be some other way. I don't make the rules, Whitey. I just carry them out.

You want that money, you'd better be on that plane tonight.

Personally, I don't give a damn.

Yeah, that's right. I have a warrant for your arrest on a charge of smuggling and

an extradition order authorized by the District Commissioner of Karahou and the

local representative of the French government.

I bet you're glad you got that one out in one go.

Relax, I don't carry guns.

Since when?

Ever since the Navy stopped paying me to. You mean the Coast Guards off

Karahou just imagined you shot your way clear when they nabbed you last month?

I was carrying passengers hotter than I thought.

Where are they now?

All right, you carry the can alone.

You're an accessory.

To the law, you're just as much a smuggler as they are.

If you haven't caught those guys, who says I was in it?

Besides you.

I'll give you a tip for when you get out.

Pick your friends more carefully.

Brakes loaded. Here's the manifest.

Oh, there's a change of flight plan.

Weather control rerouted. It's 200 miles south.

Hurricane warning.

We better give Carahoe a miss.

We'll refund three passengers. I can't.

But they gave me a new course, I tell you.

Yeah, you're always telling me.

Look, I run my airline. I'm sick to death of you.

You skimp half your jobs and try to tell me how to do mine.

We go to Carahoe.

You say so, but we don't have too much gas.

You just refueled, haven't you? Yeah, but they only brought out 800 gallons in

the flood.

Why don't you send them back for more?

I told you to load 12.

You know this dump would have been there all day.

So we run this airline to suit your convenience.

All right.

You can refuel again at Carahoe.

And when we get a Darwin, you're through.

Suits me.

I'm not too keen on flying with drunks, anyway.

Nobody can work for you. Everybody knows it.

I don't see how Teresa sticks you. You're working for me till the end of

the trip. Now get back aboard and stay there.

Not another fight.

What started this one?

Both of us.

He's inefficient and slack.

So now he's going.

Like Thompson and Willis and all the rest, huh?

Yeah, I know. I'm difficult to get along with.

I suppose one fine day you'll go too.

Darling.

Well, isn't that right?

Please don't say these things.

Not to me.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. That idiot gets me on edge.

You know how it is.

You'd want to be sunk if you ever left me, don't you?

Don't worry.

I'm not going to leave you.

Why don't you marry me, Teresa?

It wouldn't help, darling.

Believe me, it wouldn't.

Did you get any sleep?

About a quarter of an hour.

Woke up sweating like a pig.

I had the nightmare again.

The same one? Same one, always the same one.

It's the third time this month.

We better hurry. They're bringing that man out in ten minutes.

I'll wait for you on the key.

Are you all right?

Yeah, sure, sure.

I'm fine.

Is it all right to go aboard? Yes.

Captain Bennett is on his way down.

It's all right. They're cuffs. We're not holding hands.

Get back as soon as you can, will you?

Are we going to be locked in each other's arms for the whole trip?

I might unclip you and we are safely airborne.

Don't take any risks, will you?

I might dive out and swim for it. I believe you. You swam eight miles to

shore from that wreck off Fiji last year.

We've nearly met before, have we?

Yes. You've given me a lot of trouble.

in that filthy little boat again? I'm afraid so, Michaud. In a moment. I'm

waiting for the other passengers.

Hey, get our bags out, will you?

I hope your island swims in the sea.

Pack up, bastards.

Don't worry, she's going.

Come on, come on.

Maybe they'll deport me. Oh, leave them alone. Who cares?

I think you'd better go aboard now.

I love you.

I want to marry you. Oh, it's a minute.

You best sailor.

He seems a very popular young lady.

British passport.

Let's have the plot of that hurricane.

Yeah, really cover themselves always.

When in doubt, draw a large circle.

Something funny about getting a warning as late as this.

Wasn't anybody talking about hurricanes this morning?

That's what I said.

They told me they only got the warning themselves around midday.

Hello, George, Baker 7 to Control. What's the latest on Hurricane Maisie?

Over.

reading you hold it look what gives with this thing I thought you said you were

Big deal, huh?

Boy, am I glad to see a friendly face.

Why don't we sit together?

Well, I have somebody with me.

I won't introduce you because he's not your type.

Maria Sprinkly and the heavy gander.

You and me both.

Here comes a friend of yours, too.

Only he's a volunteer.

do you think of our new passengers who cares they paid didn't they who's that

Are you comfortable?

Mm-hmm. Good.

No smoking on takeoff, sir.

Miss, would you fasten my seatbelt for me, please?

Nice perfume. I hope you paid duty on it.

Gonna blow the old place a goodbye kiss, Maria?

Are you kidding?

What's one island?

Just another Sunbeak hangover?

Hello, Control. George Baker 7. Clear for takeoff, please. Over. Roger. Delta

Gear setting 29.65.

Over.

Yeah, travel bother you?

Don't worry, I'm with you.

Check one.

Floats up.

Waitress.

Miss.

Will you get anything to drink on this trip?

I shall be serving coffee shortly.

Coffee? Are you kidding?

Don't you carry anything else?

You can purchase spirits if you like, sir.

Coffee and sandwiches are included in the ticket.

What drink would you like?

Ah, forget it.

Would you care for a little of this?

What is it?

Passion killer.

No, thanks.

I don't know about you, young man, but I find our fellow passengers disturbing,

to say the least.

They will not be with us long.

How far are you going?

To Manukihi.

My brother is governor there.

I haven't seen him for 25 years.

You must be looking forward to it.

Well, I won't be sorry when this flight is over.

How far are you going?

To Australia.

I intend to go around the world before taking up my appointment as a university

lecturer in Göttingen.

Oh, indeed.

Hello, Ginger Red 4. George Baker 7. Will you repeat? Will you repeat? Over.

George Baker 7 calling Ginger Red 4. Are you receiving me? Are you receiving me?

Over.

This is George Baker 7. George Baker 7 calling Ginger Red 4.

Please repeat. I say again, please repeat. Over.

You didn't fix that bloody set, did you?

It would take Marconi to fix this one. It was made around his time.

Who was it?

American Navy plane, according to the call sign. But what did he want?

I lost him before I could get it. Well, get him back.

He could be plotting that hurricane.

What do you want me to do, lean out and shout?

Like something to read?

Thank you.

You better unlock me if you're going to make a dash for it. Don't you worry

about me.

I do. I feel very close to you at the moment.

Look, you want to talk, talk about something that interests me.

Well, let's see.

Food. That interests you, doesn't it?

You're not smart, Reisner. If you were smart, you'd help yourself.

You tell me who chartered your boat. Tell me that.

You might get yourself off the hook.

I'm old-fashioned. I don't betray friends.

Is that what you call them?

Well, let's put it this way. They're not enemies.

Who are you trying to convince? They'd chop you as soon as they lose you. Make

it easy for yourself.

I'll do a deal. Yeah, I'll bet you would.

But it takes two, and I'm not your boy.

I took a chance for any contraband.

And shooting up coast guards.

Well, guys charter my boat. I don't frisk them for artillery.

I don't squeal.

No. They let you set the label crook and go to jail.

You went wrong on me. I took that chance, too.

I'm not griping.

No, thank you.

What about Mr... Mark's the name. I'd love something.

Sugar?

No.

Delicious.

Sure you won't change your mind?

Don't try anything.

As if I would.

You go ahead and relax and enjoy yourself.

Thanks.

Wow.

Do you smell anything, Bernie?

What?

Bernie, don't you smell something?

It's probably this thing.

All I could get back at the hotel.

Just thought I'd say hello, Whitey. Don't be frightened. I'm not going to

kill you just yet.

I want you to enjoy the free trip.

I know why you're on board, Whitey. I know who bought your ticket.

And I got news for you.

We bought two tickets for the price of one.

Both going one way, because when I get out, I'm going to come looking for you.

You saw that. Saw what he did. Help me get Peterson.

Get him yourself.

You're a grown man.

What's the matter, Whitey? You look worried.

What's the matter with him, Maria?

He's scared, aren't you, Whitey? Because he knows I know all about him. And even

if Mark doesn't catch up with you, the boys will.

Because I tell the boys when I get to Carahoe, oh, they'll love to hear the

latest gossip.

What's going on? You might well ask. You're not supposed to let him out of

your sight. I've got the right to protection.

Did you touch him? Why should I? He's an honest, fair-paying passenger.

I'm in enough trouble as it is. He's lying. He threatened me. So did that

half-caste tart.

I don't know what he's talking about.

I was sitting here minding my own business.

I didn't say anything wrong.

You're not going to take their word for it, are you? He threatened me, I tell

you. All right, all right. Nobody got hurt today. Now sit down. Shut up!

Miss, I think you want it up front.

Thank you.

Yes? Take a look at that.

Any joy on that radio yet? Still working on it.

That's a great help.

Is it the hurricane?

No, but just as bad. That stuff's murder.

Better go back and strap him in. We're going to get a few bumps.

What's the matter?

I keep smelling something burning.

Don't you get it?

Yeah, vaguely.

It's probably this junk heating up.

Will you all fasten your seatbelts, please? We're running into some bad

weather and it may be bumpy for a few minutes. Thank you.

Where did Mr... Still isn't feeling too good.

Don't worry about me. I promise to be a good boy. I don't see Bill this time.

Well, if you insist.

I'd leave him if I were you. He's better off where he is.

What's happening?

Stewardess, what's gone wrong?

It's all right. Just a few's gone.

Please keep your seat. It will be fixed in a moment.

Don't get alarmed. We have an emergency circuit.

The lights have gone off. Yes, I know.

Tell him to hold it steady while I get this off.

What is it, a fuse?

I think so.

Yeah, that's all we needed. Willie says, can you hold it steady while he fixes

it? The emergency circuit's gone, too. The whole board's kaput.

I can't do anything bouncing around like this. You'll have to take it down under

the cloud.

Yeah, that's great coming from you. Your radio work, we might get some weather

reports.

This lot probably goes right down to the floor.

All right, I'll have a go.

Keep the pencils quiet back there. Go and hold their hands.

Go on.

We're going to lose height and fly under the storm, so please don't be alarmed if

you feel us diving.

It will only be for a minute or two.

We're fixing the fuse, too.

Can I stay with you, Mark?

Scared? No.

Scared, paralyzed.

Oh, no, not you.

You think that girl is pretty, huh? Uh-huh.

Nice, too.

You like that.

Oh, me? I like smooth, shiny girls.

Loaded with sin.

That wasn't a bad bit of flying you know something about it. Do you know enough

to tell the real thing?

Yeah, what's that smoke?

We're on fire

Go back.

I'll help deal with it. You look after the others.

Hold on. I'll lock on to automatic.

No,

don't use that. Don't touch it.

Shut it up! Shut it up!

Thank you.

What's happening in there?

Okay, the fire's out.

The first end, Bucks.

Where is it? In the service hatch, aft at the back.

I know what aft means.

back quickly.

What about him?

He's dead.

What's happening to the plane? Who's flying it?

It managed to get around automatic.

The copilot is dead.

Dead?

But how?

They used a fire extinguisher which was the wrong type.

It shouldn't have been on board.

It was only safe in the open air.

Contained methyl bromide, which vaporizes when it touches flame into

gas.

Poison gas.

But didn't they realize that? Why did they use it?

They didn't.

I used it. I didn't know.

Did you ask?

Well, I just tried to put the... You just killed a man.

And maybe another.

Well, who's going to fly us now?

Get us down?

With him like that and the other one dead?

Shut up.

In the luggage compartment.

Well, go on, wake him up. You're a doctor, aren't you?

My degree is in physics, not medicine.

But... Turn him over on his face.

The veins of the neck are not swollen, which is good.

Now... In asphyxia, the heart becomes over-distended and will weaken

unless... We do this.

We're not flying on a bearing for Carahoo. What?

No, we're flying sort of a curve for some reason.

Ever since we left the island.

Now he's locked under automatic, so we're going straight.

Into that.

Cumulonimbus. Even if we get through the bottom of it without going into the

drink. We're headed for nowhere, just a great big ocean.

Better go back and warn him. It's going to be rougher than pay night at the

mines any moment now.

It's going to get rough.

How is he?

Still out.

Can you take over this when I stop?

We're all going to get killed, I tell you.

And rise now, darling.

Can you fly a plane?

My flying experience is pretty amateur.

But could you put it down if you had to, if we saw a ship?

No. And besides, if we cleared this cloud and fluked it... We don't have any

lights for anybody to see us. Ship said radar.

No radar screen would show us with this electric storm.

How's the pilot?

They're still trying to bring him round.

Look, I'm sorry for what, you know, what I said about the fire extinguisher.

I mean, you weren't to know.

Forget it.

What'd they do, buy it cheap?

It all adds up.

You're operating on a shoestring, right?

Have you... Please forgive me, but... Have you done something very wrong?

I mean, you know, being arrested and... Have you?

Well, I've met the law a little bit, and guys I was carrying broke it.

Look, I'm going to see if I can hold her in the air.

I don't know how much gas we have or how the hell to get this off automatic.

Keep that from the others for a bit.

I'll try to keep it from myself, too.

Is it any good?

Let me try.

There are flames coming out. We're gonna crash.

Jack, can you hear me?

Jack.

Here, let me try.

The girl's intoxicated. Button up, lady.

You've tried everything. Let me try now. What can you do?

I have revived all kinds. Let me have him.

There's nothing else we can do.

It's all right.

It's all right, honey.

It's all right.

Jack?

Jack? Jack, can you hear me?

It's Teresa.

Jack.

Jack, try and understand.

You've got to get up and fly the plane.

Fly the plane, understand?

Where's Willie?

He's dead. Willie's dead.

You've got to fly the plane.

The engine.

Oh, please help me to get him up.

Please.

Can you get back to the coffin? Yes, yes.

The rest of us better get strapped in. Get your life jackets on.

Glad to see you. I couldn't figure out the automatic gear.

Hang on to that wheel.

I'm going to take her off automatic now.

Hold her.

Just hold her steady.

I can't help you.

I got no feeling in my arms.

the starboard engine.

Those two.

That's it.

Keep her nose up.

Get her up!

That's great. You're doing great.

Come on, you lousy heap. Come up. Come up.

Look. Look over there.

Over there.

Ships. They must see us.

Shove her down. It's her only chance. Straight on down.

You go back and take care of yourself. We're going in first time.

Lose a whole clothing.

Keep in your seats till we catch them.

Left a bit.

Not too much.

That's it.

You're doing fine.

Right rudder.

Right rudder. Just a touch.

Keep her nose up.

Up. Up.

Right back.

Watch yourself.

Here it is!

Rocks!

Is Jack all right?

Not bad, but he cut his head. You better get up there to him. I got to get these

people off first. The life rafts are in here.

Get Peterson to shove him up to me. And take that look off your face. You're

doing fine.

Peterson, give her a hand.

Come on, get with it. Get paddling.

Hey, give me that thing. Let me do it. I'm all right. I'm all right.

See if you can spot those ships.

Fire a flare.

I'll decide what to do, thank you. Well, this current captain will be behind the

headland in a minute. If you're going to fire it, fire it now.

All right, fire one.

What are they doing?

Signalling. The stewardess said there were ships around somewhere.

Then why don't they answer?

They must have heard us crash, even if they didn't see us. It's disgraceful.

Sure.

You write to your consul about it.

I can't see anything. The rocks are in the way.

Claire ought to wake him up.

Are you all right, Michelle?

Well, I'm only one piece.

I'm fine, too, thank you.

one further up too get the supplies out and stack them just a minute i give the

orders around here and don't you forget who you are and what you are i'm not

forgetting captain i just want to survive and get back to civilization go

ahead you run the show you don't look in too good shape to me now you let me

worry about that okay get the supplies out then we'll try and make contact with

those ships

That's strange.

What? No lights.

Fire that thing and aim it high.

Here, take a look.

What's wrong?

But they're derelict. They've got no superstructure. Hulks. Just a lot of old

junk. May be sitting on the bottom there since the war.

Rusty old buckets with nobody in them.

So that's that.

There's no way of telling how long it'll be before we're rescued, so we'll carry

out normal emergency drill.

All food and drink supplies will be strictly rationed. We'll organize a

watch system.

Will they come for us soon?

I hope so.

Yeah, but you don't know, do you? Just your guess.

Don't worry, Whitey. Somebody's watching over you.

Did anybody get a chance to send opposition?

No, I'm afraid not.

Could be sometime then.

Yes, we were slightly off course.

It might be quite a while before we're deported overdue at Carahoe.

Guess we ought to set up camp and make a fire.

All right, all right.

Mr. Peterson, you better take two men, chop enough wood to last the night.

Right. You'd better come.

And you.

I'm staying put.

Yeah, you keep with the women, Whitey.

We'll find somewhere suitable to set up camp shortly.

Meanwhile, perhaps you ladies like to make yourselves comfortable over by

those trees.

Let me get something for that.

Well, that includes you too, of course.

You want to make yourself useful? See if you can find some fresh water. Here.

Fresh water? Where shall I find that?

I wouldn't know. I'm new here myself.

Don't look so worried.

We're alive, aren't we?

Sure, we're alive, all right.

We won't get any insurance, you realize that?

Now, when somebody brings up that small matter, the extinguisher, they'll throw

the book at me.

This may sting a bit. Don't move.

You're not even listening to me, are you?

I said I'm finished.

Thanks to that useless know-it-all navigator.

Jack, he's dead.

It doesn't help to blame him.

Well, he put that blasted extinguisher in, didn't he?

And you okayed it.

So it's my fault.

Is that what you're thinking?

Look, I asked you a question.

Don't you understand? That plane was all I had. I've got nothing now. Jack,

you're hurting me.

I'm sorry he's dead, but that doesn't make things any easier. I've got to go

back and face the music.

You could do a lot worse.

It's about time you face something.

I've been trying to face something for 14 years. You know that. Look, Jack, I

think it's time you give up hiding behind that excuse.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing. It doesn't matter.

No, you said it. It must mean something.

Just that you don't care about anybody else but yourself.

There is me, remember?

I didn't go down with the plane.

I'm still here.

One thing about my job, one learns how to do running repairs in the dark.

Want to fix your face?

No, I don't think so, thank you.

You don't like me, do you?

My dear, I don't know enough about you to like or dislike.

Well, what you don't know, you can always make up.

Things are always as bad as they seem, that's my motto.

Don't worry about it.

Well, where have you been?

Milking cows?

Yeah, you can forget the jokes.

Where is everybody?

If you mean Mark, I have no idea.

You know we've had it, don't you?

It may take days, weeks even, before they pick us up. We haven't got a

chance. Now listen to me, you devoting little man.

Whether we're rescued or not, we've all got to make the best of it.

We're none of us very happy about what's happened.

We're not dead yet, and neither are you.

Unless you're about to drop dead from fright. So bloody well stop snivelling

and stop behaving like a man.

Good for you.

Oh, dear.

Perhaps I did go a bit far.

Really, these sort of people make me feel quite sick.

I had a deal like that with a man during the war when I was an air-aid warden.

You were a warden?

Yes. Of course, I was younger in those days.

But were you not scared?

Well, naturally I was scared.

I'm scared stiff now.

You can't have people letting side down.

He is British, you know.

Looks fairly dry to me. Let's have it. I'll use the axe. You two can gather up.

Okay, suits me.

While you get started, we'll go take a look around.

Don't go away too far, then.

Relax. The midget submarine isn't due to pick me up till dawn.

Come on.

Let's split up. You take over there.

Where's Reisner?

He's around. Your job is to stay with him.

Don't you tell me my job. I'll put in a report about you when I get back. Yes,

that's a speciality of yours, isn't it?

Well, you're not back yet, so don't bank on it.

Hello, Whitey.

All on your own.

You keep away from me?

Can't promise to do that.

We've got some unfinished business.

You keep away or I'll kill you.

Well, take good aim. Stop your hands shaking first. My aim's good enough for

you. You won't get any reward if you kill me. They'll hang you, Whitey. I'll

say it with self-defense.

Peterson heard you threatened me in the plane.

Peterson won't like it losing his gun.

You gonna hold them all off with it all the while you're here?

It won't work, Whitey. No?

Well, I'll worry about that. I'll take care of you. You and Peterson and the

rest. You see.

Mr. Peterson!

Mr. Peterson!

Come quickly!

I'm here!

Schnell! Schnell!

I've found something.

Come on, hand it over.

If it's a gun you're after, Whitey's got it.

Here, look inside.

That is doll come around here

I

Couldn't open it alone me a hand

This is lead.

This is lead too.

It's all lined with solid lead.

It's fantastic.

Shut up a minute, listen.

Don't touch anything.

They're only cameras. I want to see what they're aimed at.

What is it?

See what you think.

It's not possible.

It's all too possible.

I saw photographs.

Yes, I was reading it in a book yesterday.

It's not possible.

We could be wrong.

I don't think so.

It all adds up.

Ships out there, the animals, these lead block houses.

We've picked ourselves a Pacific island that's just about to disappear.

And these cameras, I suppose they're timed to start operating when the atom

bomb is detonated.

Yeah, that's about it.

Except that that's probably an H-bomb out there.

We shan't know the difference.

Is that a way of telling how long we've got?

Yeah, wait a minute.

What time do you make it?

5.30.

Check?

Yes, just coming up 31 minutes past.

This thing said for 11 o'clock. We still have five and a half hours.

Five and a half hours to live.

It's better than nothing, isn't it? We can put some distance between us. Come

on, what are we waiting for?

Let's get back to the other.

That's the whole picture.

I wish I could say something to make it look a bit brighter.

There's no point in pulling any punches.

Whitey did a pretty good job.

When he took that dinghy and made sure of the other one, he took our only

chance.

Before we become defeatist about it, is there any possibility of planes coming

to find us first?

Captain?

No.

None whatsoever.

Absolutely none.

Thank you.

Just thought I'd ask.

Well, that thing over there, nobody will come within 100 miles of us till it's

all over.

But it can't be true.

He's only saying that, isn't he?

No, I'm not just saying it. I'm telling you.

Everybody was scared off yesterday with a phony hurricane warning.

We're dead already.

There's no need to shout, Captain.

No? Well, let me tell you what we're in for. Jack, shut up. Because I know.

I know.

I'm one of those lucky, privileged people who got in on the first one.

Jack, nobody wants to hear about that.

No, no, nobody wants to hear about it.

You read about the bomb and you say how terrible that you close your minds.

It serves us right, a lot of us.

You don't know what these things are like, not really. But I do.

I was along as observer when they dropped the first one on Japan.

I went back afterwards and saw what we'd done.

I took pictures.

I've still got those pictures here. Those pictures I can't forget.

Right inside here.

In beautiful colors.

Let him go.

There must be something we can do.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have some technical knowledge.

Not of the bomb, of course, just of the method.

Usually what happens is that the control ship, yes? Control ship, yes.

That is about 100, maybe more, miles away somewhere.

It sends a radio-operated plane and guides it over the bomb. To detonate it,

you mean? Yes.

When it is overhead, the plane, I mean, then it transmits an impulse,

electronic, you understand, which starts the machinery to set the fuse going.

So how does that help us?

I don't know. I was just thinking.

If he could break the chain, get at the machinery.

It's just a chance. You mean stop the sequence somehow?

Yes.

Are you willing to try?

How can I?

We have no boat.

It's not more than two miles across that channel.

I cannot swim two miles. Who can?

One of us here can swim twice that far.

Don't look at me.

I wouldn't even know how to take a portable radio apart.

But you could swim it.

And if Krauss told you what to do... Yes, I could tell you.

There's no time to go to school.

But it's something.

Don't you see? It's just a chance.

You've got to give it a try.

I tell you it won't work.

But you've got to give it a try.

You're our only hope.

That's great coming from you.

Will you try?

Please, will you try?

All right, I'll try.

I won't forget it, Reisner.

I won't forget it.

Assuming you're still around to remember it. Come on, Professor, let's get with

it.

We must pray for him.

I don't know how to pray.

They're going to need some tools.

Were there any in the plane?

Yes. Do you think?

I'll ask him.

Jack? Nobody blames you.

Mark Rasner is going to try to dismantle the thing.

The German is telling him how.

They need some tools.

There are some in the plane.

Yeah.

Ten feet underwater.

They're welcome.

Put plenty into Mr. Reisner's.

After all, we shan't need it, one way or the other.

Coffee!

Thank you.

Thanks. Want something to eat?

We have some biscuits. That's fine.

Well, that's as much as I can tell you. Anything else would merely confuse you.

I'm already confused.

All I mean is if that is the type of electronic fuse they are using, what

I've told you will work.

What's happened to the others?

She's down there with the policeman, trying to bring up the toolkit.

What do you mean, she? You mean Teresa?

Yes. Here, finish this.

Where is she?

She's just died for the second time. We got these.

What are you doing here? Why aren't you out there?

She knew where to look.

There she is She's in trouble

Go and get a blanket.

There's some coffee going tight.

Did I drop it?

You did fine.

Take it easy.

I'm all right.

What chance is there?

Tell me the truth.

There isn't any, is there?

There's always a chance.

Oh, Mark, I'm so scared.

I know, I know.

But whatever happens, don't be scared about us.

All set?

Yeah, what time do you make it?

7.40.

Just three and a quarter hours to go.

Well, what's the world's record for dismantling H-bombs?

You know what we all wish you.

Yes, indeed.

God bless you, Mr. Reisner.

Good luck, Mark.

Boy, I never had it so good.

All so bad.

You are the only one who didn't wish him luck.

I doubt if you miss it.

Out there.

What is it?

Sharks.

Oh, no. Don't look. But we got to help him. Don't you understand?

There's nothing we can do.

There's nothing we can do.

There's somebody else out there.

It's the pilot.

But what can he do?

They're attracted by blood.

That wound on his forehead.

Maybe he'll draw them off.

Come on then, come on!

He should have reached there an hour ago on his reckoning.

Cross currents must be bad in a channel like this.

How much longer have we got?

Time enough.

Plenty of time.

Do not worry.

Radio controlled aircraft now airborne complete all security drill

And

if

it doesn't get there and stop it

Does it make any difference if we hide in this place?

Radio-controlled aircraft at height now 1,000.

Leveling off.

Airspeed 260.

Estimated time to detonation, 1-4 minutes.

Listen to me! I'm not after you, there's a bomb!

Didn't you hear at that time?

Sounded like a shot. It couldn't be our friend Veitie, could it?

But he didn't have a gun.

Why did you have to have a gun?

We have got seven minutes.

wearing full protection gear.

Face aft.

Six zero seconds to go.

Can you hear it?

Pray for me.

Teresa!
