09:56Why?

09:57Because otherwise you're a dead man.

09:59Well, I'm that anyway.

10:00If I can get in here past 23 June's, we can get out.

10:03Where?

10:04That way.

10:06You crazy? That's the sea!

10:08I got a boat. Come on.

10:09Who said I could trust you?

10:12You'd rather trust those spears and clubs? Come on!

10:15You won't need that.

10:16All that.

10:17Shut up!

10:18If I don't take it, I don't move.

10:20All right, come on. Hurry.

10:33There's a boat. You said there was a boat.

10:35There we swim.

10:36We can't make it.

10:37We've got to.

10:38What if I shot?

10:39It's on an emerald spear through your back. Now get going.

11:03Don't move!

11:08Don't move at all!

11:33Mike, it's dead! He's swimming!

11:43William, let go of the dinghy!

12:03William!

12:05William!

12:33Birds this night.

12:35All the birds.

12:37Coffee?

12:38Ah, good boy.

12:41Now why were they chasing me like a dog?

12:45Why don't you tell me?

12:49It's that old harpy, Mary McCoon.

12:52Yeah, she's the self-appointed goddess of the islands.

12:56She was the queen of the islands.

12:58Mary McCoon.

13:00Yeah, she's the self-appointed goddess of the islands.

13:03She runs the dispensary, the Sunday school and everything.

13:06And because I get in the way trying to do some honest trading, she...

13:09She's such a whiny zombie.

13:11Just for trading?

13:13With a gun?

13:16Well, uh...

13:18Prospecting.

13:21For what?

13:24Yeah, it's a nice transceiver, isn't it, Captain?

13:26What sort of range?

13:28Good enough for our needs.

13:32You wouldn't like to do me another favor?

13:34What?

13:35Well, when we get out of here,

13:37why don't you put me ashore around the other side of the island?

13:40Nice and quietly.

13:43Are you crazy?

13:44We only just got you out of there by the skin of your teeth.

13:47Captain Lewis!

13:48The bird's coming!

13:57The whole village!

14:07Oh, boy, she don't give up.

14:27Captain Wells?

14:29Captain, I demand you hand over that seat to my people.

14:34What's he done?

14:35He plundered our church.

14:37Stolen the ornaments placed there by our worshippers.

14:40Hold him, Mike.

14:41Let go!

14:43Sue, hop down and get his bag.

14:45Captain, I'll give you one minute.

14:49Miss McCoon, I'm the captain of the ship,

14:51and I'll decide what to do with this matter.

14:54Captain, I've got to tell you something.

14:56Listen.

14:57Now, listen.

14:58You've got to listen to me.

14:59It's about them two vases.

15:03Is this all?

15:04That's enough.

15:05You scratch it.

15:06See what's under there.

15:07What for?

15:08It's theirs.

15:09Go ahead and scratch it.

15:14Go!

15:15Go!

15:16Go!

15:17Go!

15:18Go!

15:19Go!

15:20Go!

15:21Go!

15:22Go!

15:23You see what I mean?

15:25Solid gold.

15:27And that old witch masquerading as the Holy Rose

15:30sitting on a mountain of it.

15:40Are these what you're after?

15:42They are.

15:43Take them.

15:53As to this, ma'am,

15:55if you want to prefer charges,

15:56I'll call the police at the poker.

15:58We need no police here.

16:02Go back.

16:04Get below, Mr. Burns.

16:06Captain, I want a word with you.

16:08Get below.

16:12You can play on deck.

16:23So that's what you were after.

16:25Now, Captain, you don't understand.

16:27That old girl's sitting on more gold than you ever dreamed about.

16:30It's not yours to take.

16:31Not hers either.

16:32She's just got all the natives bluffed.

16:34And you too.

16:36Where did they get it from?

16:37Captain, I've looked.

16:39I've asked.

16:40That's all she heard about me.

16:42Prospect Music.

16:44Snooping.

16:45Now, Captain, you be smart.

16:48Maybe you could talk her out.

16:50Try and upstand a man like him.

16:52Now, why would I do that?

16:54To find out where she hides the stuff.

16:58Then you could leave everything else to me and my partners.

17:01You've got partners? Where are they?

17:03Oh, they're around.

17:05Now, they eat Old Mother Macoon for breakfast.

17:08And far better for you too, Captain,

17:10to deal with a reasonable man like me.

17:14Okay.

17:15You mean you'll do it?

17:17Yes, but not for you.

17:19Mike?

17:23Yes, sir?

17:24Get the thingy.

17:26Well, well, well.

17:29Now, double cross, eh?

17:44Prospect Music.

17:49By what right do you decide to take away their gold?

17:55Riches do not guarantee them happiness.

17:58Nor does poverty.

17:59Don't lecture me.

18:01Who are you to decide whether they shall prosper or starve?

18:04Who appointed you to keep them in ignorance?

18:07Where's the gold that schools could give them learning with

18:11and they could buy boats with for trade?

18:13My people have no need of such things.

18:16Your people?

18:18When enough your people lay your slaves.

18:21How dare you?

18:22I've spent a lifetime serving them and asked nothing for it.

18:25Except that they live life your way.

18:27Who is it that treats children on the condition they go to your Sunday school?

18:31Who is it that discourages strangers from calling

18:33in case your people realize that the world's outside your island?

18:36And when you're gone, who will it be to take your place?

18:40Oh, don't you care?

18:42Please, no.

18:45I just wanted to protect them from...

18:48From what?

18:50The wicked world?

18:52A few pills, an ointment, a Bible lesson?

18:54When they can have teachers and decent hospitals?

18:57But they need me.

18:59To help them, not to stand in their way.

19:02How will you help me do it?

19:04First, return the gold you've taken from these islanders.

19:07Give me a sample.

19:08Be sure the governor says they're advised.

19:11If you trust me.

19:14Very well.

19:19Hey, sea spray!

19:21That's us!

19:23I've got a message for Captain Wells.

19:25It's not on board.

19:27You'll take it, Will?

19:28Yes, I will.

19:33Where's the message?

19:35Oh, the message.

19:37Here it is.

19:39Stay right there.

19:46You in there, Burns?

19:47I am.

19:49Who's got the key?

19:51Oh, no, I shut the lock on it.

20:06Where's the key, Burns?

20:11I tell you, they got a real good radio in there.

20:13Or it was.

20:14You were right smart answering it.

20:16Come on, miss.

20:18Inside.

20:19Move.

20:30You ought to take it easy with that gun.

20:32You know, you might kill somebody.

20:34I might.

20:55In there.

21:05In there.

21:31A war club in here.

21:32Let's go.

21:33There's more in the other cave.

21:35That'll be enough for now.

21:51Stay right where you are.

21:53Oh, boy.

21:55Thank God.

21:56Get out of the way, you idiot.

22:03Let me have it.

22:05Give me that.

22:10You've taken over my dear's body.

22:13That's the whole idea.

22:15And we'll have all of it.

22:18Back up, you two.

22:27Now turn around.

22:33Here.

22:34See if I'm covered.

22:40Give me that.

22:42You won't get as far as the next island.

22:44That's a lot further than any of you will be going.

22:47We've got enough for this.

22:49It ain't worth the risk.

22:51It's not the risk, just a nasty accident.

22:56You've got to get involved in this kind of thing.

22:58You shut up.

23:01Well?

23:04You going to let him get away with it?

23:06I'm not going to let him get away with it.

23:12Well?

23:14Get him.

23:16Now kill him.

23:18Shut up.

23:31No.

23:44Well, how's my favorite patient feeling?

23:46Really good, Mr. Coon. Thanks to you.

23:48That's part of my job. Where's your father?

23:50He's getting a report on the radio from our brother.

23:52You mean there's another one?

23:53Noah. He's a boarding school.

23:55Well, he passes his exams applying colors.

23:57Well, hello there.

23:58Hello there.

23:59Captain, the people of my island want to give you a small token of their appreciation.

24:03Walter?

24:08Will you accept it?

24:10We'd be deeply grateful.

24:12So am I, Captain.

24:14Goodbye.

24:19How long do I have to stay here?

24:21Two years.

24:23You're paroled in Mr. Coon's custody for turning Queen's evidence.

24:26What will I ever do to the Queen?

24:28Walter, are you coming?

24:29Yeah, right away.

24:32I could be better off in jail.

24:34Some of the wardens there are human.
