03:30Hey, Captain.
03:33May I ask you a favor?
03:34My village is close to here.
03:37May I pay a visit?
03:39Of course.
03:40But be sure to pick us up this evening.
03:41We want to be back at the boat when Mike arrives.
03:43I will.
03:45You'll find some oil over there.
03:46You'll need a long drive to Suva.
03:57Dan, you know he's off to see the festival.
03:58If he says he's going to his village, he's going to his village.
04:04Dad, can I go with William to the festival?
04:06Me, sir, Dad, please.
04:08But Mike's lucky.
04:09He's got a trip to Melbourne to visit Uncle Ed.
04:11We never get exciting visits like that.
04:13Fred, very good of you to give us your day, Michael.
04:16Oh, glad to do it.
04:17With everybody gone, it's a perfect time to take a really good look at the place.
04:20Don't do anything stupid.
04:50Keep facing the wall.
04:59I want the combination.
05:05Okay.
05:06You'll be sorry.
05:08If you value your arm, you'd better stop talking.
05:17Heavy four, right?
05:2017 minutes.
05:2826 minutes.
05:32I'm pretty right.
05:35He's better open.
05:48Very nice.
05:50You're going to stay still now.
05:52Very still.
05:53For 20 minutes.
06:08If you try to walk out of this office, and we're still here, you'll never take another step again.
06:13Get back.
06:33Get back.
06:39The miner in the red patent shirt that just drove away.
06:43Who was he?
06:43I don't know.
06:45The miners are in super.
06:46I don't know what you're talking about.
06:53All right.
06:54I'm going to start counting.
06:57You'd better tell me who that miner is before I reach five.
07:01One.
07:03Two.
07:05Three.
07:09Four.
07:11Just tell him.
07:13It was William.
07:14Sue, shut up.
07:16Keep talking.
07:17He's not one of the miners.
07:18Truly, he's not.
07:19He worked for us on the sea spray.
07:22He's just gone to Tavua.
07:23He didn't do anything to hurt you.
07:25Stop crying.
07:27One of us is going to Tavua.
07:29One of us is staying here.
07:33Don't come through this door.
07:34Did they go after you, Truman?
07:49I'm sorry, Dad.
07:50You had to tell them.
07:54Speed in.
07:56You think one's dead?
07:57They're bluffing.
07:59They won't split up now.
07:59They've got the payroll.
08:01I don't know.
08:02There is.
08:03There is.
08:03If we don't do something, it'll be a bigger risk to William's life.
08:06Right.
08:15Everyone against the wall.
08:22Is there any way of getting after them?
08:24There's a car that shall be.
08:26What are our chances of getting to Tavua before then?
08:29Not good.
08:30We might try the back road.
08:32Are you sure that's where he went?
08:34I'll stake his life on it.
08:35I'll stake his life on it.
09:05Oh, man.
09:06I'll stake his life on it.
09:07Oh, boy.
09:08Oh, man.
09:08I'll stake his life on it.
09:10Oh, boy.
14:31We spend one day to find him.
14:46If we don't, we charter our boat and get out of Fiji.
14:48But if we find him, we'll get rid of him too.
14:51Let's go.
14:52Do you have any idea where they might have gone to after they abandoned the car?
15:12Paul, by the time I got out of the boot, they'd disappear into the crowd.
15:16Can you trace the license plates?
15:18We're checking now.
15:19You can be sure it's stolen.
15:21Your family's at the Grand Pacific Hotel.
15:23You better get back there and stay with them.
15:25And keep away from the sea spray until this case is closed.
15:29Dan will find him.
15:30I'm sending a family to Dad.
15:43And Watermelon.
15:44Can I help you carry the train?
15:45There'll be a big load with all that Watermelon.
15:47I'd like you both to stay inside and keep the door locked.
15:50Well, Dad, don't...
15:51Noah.
15:52Watermelon?
15:52I'd like sandwiches for three, please.
16:17Yes, sir.
16:18As quickly as you can, please.
16:19Yes, sir.
16:21Here.
17:13God.
17:17Something's happened.
17:18I'm going to get help.
17:19No, Dad said we should stay here.
17:21But something's happened.
17:23Only Mike were here.
17:25He'd know what to do.
17:26Well, you can stay here if you want.
17:28I'm going to the police.
17:28You can stay here.
17:45Thank you for opening.
17:59Will you stay for the spree?
18:01No. Captain Williams is waiting for me at the mine.
18:06I must run to catch the bus. Goodbye.
18:08Goodbye.
18:15I must run to catch the bus.
18:45We're looking for you.
18:46Dad, everyone, because two men are after you.
18:49What two men?
18:50I'm the grub of the gold mine.
18:51You fought them, and now they're after you.
19:06Can you tell me where I can find the police?
19:08The police!
19:10Police!
19:11Police!

23:46Well, there's ain't me.
23:48You and William saw all the action.
23:50We'll be in touch with you when the case comes up.
23:52I'll be there.
23:53Well, goodbye.
23:54And good luck.
