00:00:17The End
00:00:46The End
00:01:08Many months after VJ Day, a unit of the Air-Sea Rescue Service was flying a routine patrol somewhere over
00:01:15the South China Sea.
00:01:20The End
00:01:21Got a smoke, Pete? Yeah.
00:01:25There you go. The search message just came over, sir.
00:01:31Rover 7, life raft containing survivors sighted by C-47 at coordinates, AVO 6-0, Charlie 7-1. Proceed to
00:01:39coordinates, conduct search and rescue. Navigator will give you a course in ETA.
00:01:46Co-pilot to Navigator. How about that course in ETA on search order?
00:01:52And this message from the tower is for you, sir.
00:01:56Suzy landed here this afternoon takes off. Suzy landed here this afternoon takes off at 1900. Did you hear that,
00:02:03Pete? Suzy's at the base. Came in this afternoon.
00:02:05Oh, that's fine. I'd like to meet her. You will if we can get back by 7. Got that course
00:02:10in ETA? Yeah. 167 degrees ETA 1630.
00:02:15Pilot to crew. Manned search stations. We're looking for a life raft containing survivors. Report all floating objects. Out. Come
00:02:22on, life rafts show up. I've got a date with my baby.
00:02:33How'd you meet Suzy? Know her back home? Didn't I ever tell you? It was just a little over a
00:02:38year ago. I finished my 50th mission and got to leave.
00:02:40Got on quite a place of sleep. How about me, Lieutenant James Willis? I'm supposed to have a reservation.
00:02:45Lieutenant Willis? I'll have to double you up.
00:02:51132 with Lieutenant Briscoe. Right. Sign here, please.
00:02:53See if you've got Lieutenant Holmes. Holmes? Yes. Gangway for Rip Van Winkle.
00:02:59Lieutenant Holmes? When did you make your reservation? Today.
00:03:03Oh, I don't see if it's right at all. Sorry. Flight? Lieutenant? Flight? Yes.
00:03:26What a sack. Hey, Briscoe. You've got yourself a roommate.
00:03:48Hey! What are you doing in my bed?
00:03:52You're... You're Lieutenant Briscoe?
00:03:57And that's how I met Suzy. Yeah, yeah, but then what happened?
00:04:01She's my girl. I saw her a lot during that leave.
00:04:05I've only seen her twice since then. Yeah, but did you get another room?
00:04:08Huh. I was too tired. Yeah. What?
00:04:13She did.
00:04:21Left search to pilot. Loading object at 9 o'clock.
00:04:52Take over, will you, Pete? Yeah, sure, sure. Give Suzy my love.
00:05:15What a surprise. How'd you happen to land here?
00:05:18Picking up some passengers. I want you to meet Captain Danton Jim Willis.
00:05:22Glad to know. Alan's been stuck with me for the last three months.
00:05:25I'd say the shoe was on the other foot. What's all this talk about taking off in 1900?
00:05:29Well, we leave for Manila in exactly two hours.
00:05:32That doesn't give us much time, does it? You can spare her for a while.
00:05:35Sure. Just get her back. She has a patient to take care of.
00:05:38Don't you worry.
00:05:49Lieutenant Briscoe, won't you join us? Yes, do. We're celebrating, you know.
00:05:52Thank you, but Captain Willis and I have a lot of talking to do and very little time.
00:05:56All right. We'll see you on the plane.
00:06:07Passengers? Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Hartley. They're flying out with us.
00:06:10I met them this afternoon in base operations. They seem a happy couple.
00:06:14The Japs held them in Singapore. They were married the day they were freed.
00:06:18I'll have a beer. Some black tea, please.
00:06:22Suzy, why don't you stay here? Stay?
00:06:25You're going to be released anyhow as soon as you land in San Francisco.
00:06:27We could be married right here.
00:06:29Oh, Jim, you're kidding. I mean it.
00:06:31But why? You'll be out too in a couple of months.
00:06:35I want a big church wedding with a beautiful white gown and a train,
00:06:39and mother weeping all over it.
00:06:41Now that you're here, I can't let you go.
00:06:43They can assign another nurse to take your patient across.
00:06:45That's awfully nice of you, Jim, but let's be practical.
00:06:49I'll go home and have everything all set by the time you get there.
00:06:52A couple of months, more or less.
00:06:54It'll be longer than a couple of months.
00:06:56But your letters... I thought that had all been arranged.
00:07:00It was supposed to be, honey, but...
00:07:02Well, I'm on sort of a spot.
00:07:03I promised the CO I'd stick it out another year, maybe longer.
00:07:07Promised? Well, what about your promise to me?
00:07:10Oh, don't blow up. This air-sea rescue work's pretty important right now
00:07:12with all this ocean travel.
00:07:14But there are plenty of pilots to take your place.
00:07:16They're training men every day, Suzy, but it's a big job.
00:07:18All right, if you're that important, you can stay, but not me.
00:07:22I've had enough of uniforms.
00:07:24I want to wear silk underwear and nylon stockings and open-toed shoes.
00:07:31Silly things, maybe, but I've been dreaming about them for years.
00:07:34I want out, Jim, and right now...
00:07:35Don't be stubborn. It isn't like being stuck here forever.
00:07:37I wouldn't be stuck here another day.
00:07:40Suzy...
00:07:41Maybe you don't want to go home at all.
00:07:43Out here, you're a big shot.
00:07:45Back there, you'd be just another guy. Is that it, Jim?
00:07:48When you talk like that, I hardly know you.
00:07:50Maybe that's our trouble.
00:07:52Maybe we really don't know each other.
00:07:55We've only seen each other three times in our lives.
00:07:58Try and see things my way.
00:08:05Time to go, Jim.
00:08:17Time to shut off?
00:08:18Yes, you'd better ride in with us.
00:08:19Lieutenant Pinkert's on our plane.
00:08:26So I says to this guy, New York ain't America.
00:08:29Just because a guy comes from west of the Hudson River is no...
00:08:34Oh, you're back, sir.
00:08:35Did the lieutenant have a good time?
00:08:37You take care of the bags?
00:08:38Yes, sir. They're aboard.
00:08:39Good. Is the colonel ready?
00:08:40The colonel is ready and the sergeant's ready.
00:08:42Is the lieutenant ready, sir?
00:08:45Get the colonel.
00:08:46Let's work out for home.
00:08:59Come on!
00:09:11Fine at work!
00:09:11That's right. Colonel Yamura, Sergeant Blair.
00:09:14See Sergeant D'Agostino about your chutes.
00:09:17Right. Colonel?
00:09:20Sergeant, is that Jap traveling with us?
00:09:23Yes, ma'am. That's Colonel Yamura. They're going to try him in Manila for war crimes.
00:09:29Don't let it bother you, Mrs. Hartley.
00:09:31She has some rather unpleasant memories of them.
00:09:33I see.
00:09:34Well, they're trying 17 Jap officers, and Yamura, I understand, is a rather important witness.
00:09:38Otherwise, they'd probably have waited and sent him on another plane.
00:09:41Relax, dear. We'll just pretend he isn't there.
00:09:44Better get aboard.
00:09:58Well, you made it.
00:09:59Help Mr. Smith in, will you, Alan?
00:10:02Don't be too long now. We're off in one minute.
00:10:05So long, Captain. Good luck.
00:10:16Good luck.
00:10:17Good luck, Jim.
00:10:19No, Susan.
00:10:25You can fly back from Manila.
00:10:27Good luck, Jim.
00:10:30Good luck, Jim.
00:10:51Good luck, Jim.
00:10:53Good luck, Jim.
00:10:54Good luck, Jim.
00:10:57I'm going to be busy.
00:10:57Thank you, of course.
00:11:00Good luck.
00:11:26Why don't you try to sleep, Mr. Smith?
00:11:28I can't.
00:11:29I can't sleep.
00:11:30You're worrying about yourself again.
00:11:32You've got to stop.
00:11:33What good is it if I don't even know my own name?
00:11:36You can't tell.
00:11:37Your memory might come back all of a sudden.
00:11:39You never know from one day to the next what's going to happen.
00:11:42Take me.
00:11:44Four hours ago, I thought I had my life all mapped out.
00:11:47I was going to settle down and raise a half dozen kids.
00:11:51And bingo, the whole picture changed.
00:11:53I thought that guy looked like the world had suddenly collapsed.
00:11:57Eavesdropper?
00:11:57If you're unattached, a pilot named Danton might be available for a date in San Francisco.
00:12:02Thanks, Alice.
00:12:03Even if you're only kidding, it's good for a girl's morale.
00:12:06You just keep that date open.
00:12:14I have a headache.
00:12:15I wonder, do you have something for it?
00:12:17Oh, headaches are my specialty.
00:12:18It might be.
00:12:25Take two of these.
00:12:27Then if you still feel that...
00:12:30Alice!
00:12:32Alice!
00:12:33Alice!
00:12:34What happened?
00:12:35She'll be all right in a minute.
00:12:36Here, try some of this.
00:12:41It's... it's nothing, Rollin.
00:12:44You'd better rest a minute.
00:12:45Oh, I'm fine.
00:12:47I'm sorry to be such a bother.
00:12:50It may be the altitude.
00:12:51I'll drop down to a more comfortable level.
00:13:11Rollin, that man, who is he?
00:13:12Man?
00:13:14Oh, the sick one.
00:13:15Smith.
00:13:16Smith.
00:13:17Yes, Danton was telling me about him.
00:13:18The chaps held him prisoner, too.
00:13:20Tortured him horribly.
00:13:21Poor chap.
00:13:21It's amnesia.
00:13:22Can't remember a thing.
00:13:26Pretty bad idea?
00:13:28Oh, Rollin, hold me close.
00:13:29There, there, darling.
00:13:31It's just the reaction.
00:13:32Getting away after all you've been through.
00:13:38Got it, Alan?
00:13:39Roger.
00:13:42I'll take her down a bit.
00:14:13Hey, Lieutenant, why don't you grab some shut-eye?
00:14:15I'll take the first watch.
00:14:17Okay, wake me up when you get tired.
00:14:36I'm making this for my girl, Joni, back at Weehawken.
00:14:39It's a ring.
00:14:41Want to see a picture?
00:14:47Gorgeous, huh?
00:14:50Well, what's the matter?
00:14:51Am I disturbing your beauty sleep?
00:14:53I cannot sleep.
00:14:55I couldn't sleep either if I was you.
00:14:57No one was waiting for you, Manila.
00:15:00Would you, would you mind asking the nurse
00:15:03if I could have a cup of coffee?
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:06Now, Lieutenant, can we have some coffee, please?
00:15:08Sure, coming right up.
00:15:16You know, I really can't stand coffee.
00:15:18I just take it to kill my insomnia.
00:15:23Thanks.
00:15:24Maybe I can find a couple more customers.
00:15:28Talking about Java.
00:15:29I ain't had a good drink since I left Weehawken.
00:15:31Now, you take down a coffee, Anne.
00:15:38Lolland!
00:15:42Sorry, Joni, look.
00:15:51Sit over there.
00:16:11You will change course at once.
00:16:13To a heading of 270 degrees.
00:16:15My orders are to go to Manila.
00:16:17You will change course.
00:16:18270 degrees.
00:16:20Suppose I refuse.
00:16:24This is a good plane, Yamora,
00:16:25but it can't fly without a pilot.
00:16:27You mean if I kill you, we crash.
00:16:30If you insist, that is how it will be.
00:16:33You see, I have no choice.
00:16:34If you take me to Manila, I die anyhow.
00:16:38That's all figured out.
00:16:40If you follow my instructions,
00:16:42you will put me down on an island
00:16:44where I will be safe.
00:16:46How'd he get that gun?
00:16:47He threw boiling coffee in my eyes.
00:16:49I knew we shouldn't have treated him like a gentleman.
00:16:50Captain! Captain!
00:16:51Answer me, Captain!
00:16:53Nothing else to be done.
00:16:54Answer me, Captain!
00:16:55What was that course?
00:16:57270 degrees.
00:16:58Don't try to fool me.
00:17:00I'm familiar with navigation.
00:17:23Captain!
00:17:30Captain!
00:17:31What's going on in there?
00:17:33If they break through, I'll shoot.
00:17:35Tell them!
00:17:39Pilot to passengers.
00:17:44He says lay out the door, you'll get yourselves killed.
00:17:46Tell the passengers to take their seats. There's nothing they can do right now.
00:17:54Where is this island you're heading for? I wouldn't want to run out of gas.
00:17:57Only four or five hours more. You have plenty of fuel.
00:18:14WhenλοΏ½ μ± communautΓ© from hell joined us,
00:18:14This landis atΡΠΈΡ.
00:18:15My passenger, considers it to me any questions.
00:18:18There were a question that sent to you a minute.
00:18:18The class of theι³₯ Hansen.
00:18:18You're real.
00:18:19We want these turtles should Alm Operus.
00:18:19No!
00:18:19No!
00:18:20No!
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:29Whateverouse.
00:18:30Vin N Bora!
00:18:31Let's go.
00:19:06Let's go.
00:19:38Let's go.
00:19:39They're dead.
00:19:40Captain Dan.
00:19:42Captain Dan.
00:20:03Captain Dan.
00:20:29Captain Dan.
00:20:31Captain Dan.
00:20:36Alice!
00:20:38Alice!
00:20:56Alice!
00:20:57Alice!
00:20:59Alice!
00:21:03Alice!
00:21:05Alice!
00:21:05Alice!
00:21:12Alice!
00:21:19Alice!
00:21:20Alice!
00:21:28Alice!
00:21:31Alice!
00:21:39Alice!
00:21:40Alice!
00:21:43Alice!
00:21:57Alice!
00:21:59Alice!
00:22:09Alice!
00:22:10Alice!
00:22:10Alice!
00:22:16Alice!
00:22:21Alice!
00:22:36Alice!
00:22:37Alice!
00:22:38Alice!
00:22:40Pull him up, I say.
00:22:41No, let him drown.
00:22:43Pull him up.
00:22:44Is there an order, Lieutenant?
00:22:45That's the order.
00:22:46Yes, sir.
00:23:20The best I can do without splints, that'll hold the breaking place.
00:23:23It doesn't hurt nearly so much now.
00:23:28My chest.
00:23:30It's just bruised.
00:23:31Try to rest.
00:23:32I'm awfully sick to my stomach.
00:23:34You must have swallowed a lot of salt water.
00:23:36Here, try this.
00:23:37It'll take the salt takes away.
00:23:39Listen, everybody.
00:23:41In the first place, we mustn't get panicky.
00:23:43In a few hours, we'll be reported overdue at Manila, and they'll start a search.
00:23:47We were a couple hundred miles off course when we hit where we capped it.
00:23:50Yes, thanks to you, Mora.
00:23:53That'll make it harder to find us, but they will.
00:23:56Then what are we worrying about?
00:23:57That's the ticket.
00:23:59Meanwhile, we have enough emergency rations and water to last us a week, if we're careful.
00:24:05Divided seven ways, you mean?
00:24:07What do you mean, seven?
00:24:08There are eight of us.
00:24:09You don't expect us to share our rations with him.
00:24:11Yes, I do.
00:24:12You're crazy.
00:24:13Why didn't you let him drown?
00:24:14If you only knew it, we'd suffered at their hands.
00:24:17Look what they've done to Mr. Smith.
00:24:19Bad enough having Yamura aboard.
00:24:21Just a minute.
00:24:23Off the record, I might agree with you, but as officer in charge, I must side with Lieutenant
00:24:27Pinkert.
00:24:27That's rulebook nonsense.
00:24:30I say get rid of him now, or we'll all regret it.
00:24:33Look, Hartley, if I get to Manila, I'm going to have Yamura with me.
00:24:36Maybe you wouldn't understand, but I've got to...
00:24:39No, go ahead and split it seven ways.
00:24:42I'll share my rations with him.
00:24:44Lieutenant's getting awful brave, isn't he?
00:24:46That's enough, Sergeant.
00:24:49Miss Briscoe will take charge of the rations.
00:24:52One cup of water and two candies to each.
00:24:54Two candies?
00:24:55In my condition?
00:24:57You don't have to have them.
00:24:59Okay, I'll force myself.
00:25:04Just like Mother used to make.
00:25:38We should be about here now.
00:25:41The islands we're trying for are about 600 miles southwest.
00:25:44600 miles?
00:25:46Oh, I'm sure we'll be picked up before then, but we've got to be prepared for anything.
00:25:52We ought to reach the islands in a week.
00:25:55Eight days at the most.
00:25:57What if we miss them?
00:25:58Miles of open sea beyond.
00:26:00But we won't miss.
00:26:01I'll steer by compass and stars.
00:26:04Each of us will take a four-hour watch at the steering wheel.
00:26:07With the wind ships.
00:26:08Will we get off course?
00:26:09You just cooperate.
00:26:11Put your trust in the compass and the stars and me.
00:26:16All right, Miss Briscoe.
00:26:17You get up here and take the first watch.
00:26:29Mr. Smith.
00:26:32Feeling better?
00:26:34Tired.
00:26:35Very tired.
00:26:37Maybe if you remember it.
00:26:39Let's try.
00:26:40Tried.
00:26:41Tried.
00:26:42Don't you remember where you've been?
00:26:46You must remember the Orient.
00:26:49Macau.
00:26:51Saigon.
00:26:53Hong Kong.
00:26:54Is the nurse here?
00:26:56Oh, yes.
00:26:56She's here.
00:26:59I know.
00:27:00Remember Jimmy Ashley?
00:27:02At the American consulate.
00:27:04You knew him.
00:27:06Jimmy Ashley?
00:27:07Yes, remember Jimmy?
00:27:09Always with a white carnation.
00:27:10Alice.
00:27:12Why do you keep at him?
00:27:14Well, I thought if I helped him remember things, I might help him.
00:27:18It's foolish when the doctors couldn't.
00:27:23Do you think you know him?
00:27:24Oh, no.
00:27:25No, but he might have known people we know.
00:27:30Maybe he's never been in Hong Kong.
00:27:32They found him in a Jap prison on the mainland.
00:27:42They found him in Hong Kong.
00:27:43It won't let me rest.
00:27:44The zeros.
00:27:45They're coming again.
00:27:49The plane.
00:27:51They're coming for us.
00:27:52They're coming right for us.
00:27:54Sit down.
00:27:55Everybody down.
00:27:55You'll tip us over.
00:27:57Here he comes.
00:27:58We're safe.
00:27:59Didn't I tell you?
00:28:00I knew he'd find us.
00:28:01Everybody keep your position.
00:28:03Hey, down here.
00:28:05He's going over us.
00:28:06Are you blind or something?
00:28:09They don't see us.
00:28:10They've got to see us.
00:28:12They're going away.
00:28:13They don't see us.
00:28:16Just now, look.
00:28:17We're in the sun's reflection.
00:28:19They couldn't spot us.
00:28:21They might have.
00:28:22That plane couldn't land on the water.
00:28:24He'll send help.
00:28:46It may have gone down within an hour or within six hours at this point.
00:28:51Navy units will cooperate in the search.
00:28:54Now, if any of you PBYs locate survivors and the sea looks too rough to make a landing,
00:28:59contact the B-17 with Airborne Lifeboat, which will be in the area.
00:29:03Navigators mark charts.
00:29:06We'll find her, Jim.
00:29:32It feels like it's swelling.
00:29:34Tonight, tonight, we'll tighten the bandage.
00:29:38Here we are, Mr. Smith.
00:29:41A little more water for you.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45You're doing fine.
00:29:50Here's your ration.
00:30:09How's the stomach?
00:30:11It feels like it's on fire.
00:30:13A little water will help.
00:30:42You know, these rations wouldn't be so bad if we had something to garnish them with.
00:30:46Like a steak, for instance.
00:30:51Nice work, Susie.
00:30:58I'm not doing that eye any good.
00:31:03Stop rubbing it.
00:31:04You'll only make it worse.
00:31:06Don't you worry about my eye.
00:31:08You just take care of my morale.
00:31:11Sit over here.
00:31:14Taking advantage of the situation.
00:31:16Well, if you don't like it, you can get out and walk.
00:31:21That's what I call a very fair proposition.
00:31:47There's no use going out again tonight, Jim.
00:31:49They might show a flare.
00:31:50Anyway, you need some rest.
00:31:51I couldn't do that, as long as there's a chance that she's still out there.
00:31:54Okay, pal.
00:31:56You don't have to go.
00:31:57You can knock off.
00:31:58Oh, nothing doing.
00:31:59Thanks.
00:32:00Grab yourself some chow.
00:32:02I'll have to get permission from the CO before we take off again.
00:32:23Alan, remember not to rub your eyes in flames.
00:32:29It's your watch, Susie.
00:32:31Here, hold this.
00:32:41Now, hold these.
00:32:45Pull the oar like this.
00:32:47This way?
00:32:48That's it.
00:32:54Does that arm help?
00:32:56It helps me.
00:32:59Now watch the stars I show you, and you'll keep us on course.
00:33:03Keep the Southern Cross on your left.
00:33:06And that big star, see that big yellow one with the little cluster next to it?
00:33:11Keep that over your right shoulder.
00:33:14For luck?
00:33:15For luck.
00:33:17You know, sitting in all this water ain't doing me any good.
00:33:20Afraid you get to expand hands?
00:33:21No, sir.
00:33:23It's the opposite.
00:33:24Fail, Blair.
00:33:25All the pain must be terrible, Roland.
00:33:27I stand the pain better than I can having him around.
00:33:29Don't start that again.
00:33:31Just extra weight.
00:33:33Without him, we wouldn't ship so much water.
00:33:35And you.
00:33:37I can't understand you.
00:33:38That's enough, Hartley.
00:33:39Turns my stomach.
00:33:41Giving him food and water.
00:33:43Fire in charge, I'd toss him overboard quick.
00:33:46Then, you believe that?
00:33:48People who stand in your way should be eliminated.
00:33:51People who stand in the way of peace and happiness, yes.
00:33:54I'd wipe out every one of them.
00:33:55Then, Mr. Hartley,
00:33:58our philosophies are very much alike.
00:34:01Hey, Roland, please, Roland!
00:34:02No one needs some singing.
00:34:03There's nothing like some singing to make the world go round.
00:34:05That's a good idea, Blair.
00:34:07How about some choruses that roll out the barrel?
00:34:09Or is that too tempting a suggestion?
00:34:11No, no, a hymn.
00:34:12I remember what I used to sing in the choir back home.
00:34:15I'm sure you all knew it.
00:34:18Remember this, Mr. Smith?
00:34:21Rest in the Lord,
00:34:24O weary, heavy laden,
00:34:28Look unto Him,
00:34:32Your ever-present guide.
00:34:35Rest in the Lord,
00:34:39Whose word is truth eternal,
00:34:42Leave unto Him,
00:34:46Whatever may be tried.
00:34:50Rest in the Lord,
00:34:54And when your toil is over,
00:34:58When every storm and danger you have passed,
00:35:05Lo, He hath said,
00:35:09Whose word abideth ever,
00:35:13You shall receive
00:35:16His welcome home at last.
00:35:22Rest in the Lord,
00:35:24Whose word abideth ever,
00:35:28You shall receive
00:35:30His welcome home at last.
00:35:45I understand your compulsion, Jim,
00:35:47But I also have my job to do.
00:35:49In your condition,
00:35:50You might lose a plane and a crew.
00:35:52I've got to go out again.
00:35:53In the morning.
00:35:54Try and get some sleep.
00:35:55Take a pill if you have to.
00:35:56Let Pete turn in, Colonel.
00:35:58Give me another co-pilot.
00:35:59I'll be okay.
00:36:02All right.
00:36:03But after this fight,
00:36:04You knock off.
00:36:05Yes, sir.
00:36:30Mr. Smith.
00:36:34The hymn brought it back, didn't it?
00:36:36You do know me.
00:36:38You're Mrs. Hartman.
00:36:41I am now.
00:36:43But I was Mrs. Philip Thompson.
00:36:47You must remember me, Philip.
00:36:53But I was your wife, Philip.
00:36:56I am your wife.
00:36:58Alice, what are you saying?
00:37:01I mean, is he Philip Thompson?
00:37:03Well, it doesn't matter now.
00:37:04We're all going to die anyway.
00:37:08I shot him.
00:37:10I saw them in the prison courtyard.
00:37:12The next morning,
00:37:13They brought me papers
00:37:14And told me he was dead.
00:37:16I almost went mad trying to forget.
00:37:22Finally, when I married Rollin,
00:37:23I thought I had forgotten.
00:37:25But now, no, Rollin.
00:37:27I'm his wife.
00:37:29And he doesn't remember me.
00:37:32Oh, how did I die, George?
00:37:36It'll work out, Mrs. Hartley.
00:37:38Right now, we've got to keep alive to her rescued.
00:37:41It's just like a book I once read.
00:37:43A guy gets lost at sea, see?
00:37:45They all think he's dead.
00:37:48His wife meets another fella.
00:37:50Nice guy.
00:37:50They get married and have children and everything.
00:37:54So what do you think?
00:37:55Years later, the first guy comes back.
00:37:57He looks in the window
00:37:59And sees his wife and her happy family.
00:38:02It's snowing outside.
00:38:04I think it was Christmas.
00:38:06Yeah, it must have been Christmas
00:38:07Because the family is trimming the tree.
00:38:10So,
00:38:11The guy goes away.
00:38:14Forever.
00:38:17Enoch Ardner was or something.
00:38:19What a story.
00:38:21All right, Enoch.
00:38:22Stop dreaming and watch that oar.
00:38:23You're off your course.
00:38:25Bear left more.
00:38:26Left, not right.
00:38:28Watch that star.
00:38:29Yes, sir.
00:38:44We'd better get back, Jim.
00:39:09It's just a touch of malaria.
00:39:10I've had it before.
00:39:11You're going to the hospital.
00:39:13Colonel, you're not going to...
00:39:14Sorry, Jim.
00:39:15I'm grounding you for your own good.
00:39:16You're not giving up the search, are you, Colonel?
00:39:18We'll be out again today.
00:39:19There isn't much hope, Jim.
00:39:21We've covered the whole course to Manila.
00:39:23And we haven't even sighted an oil slick.
00:39:27Come on.
00:39:28I'm going to personally tuck you into bed.
00:40:02I think it's in pretty bad shape.
00:40:04I'm going to give him some water.
00:40:17I can't give it to you, Mara.
00:40:26Get off my leg.
00:40:29Why do you keep giving him water?
00:40:32Why don't you let him die?
00:40:36Why don't you tell him, Lieutenant?
00:40:38Tell him why you have to deliver your morrow even if it kills you.
00:40:41Yes, why?
00:40:43Why?
00:40:45All right, I'll tell you why.
00:40:47It'll stop your eternal bickery.
00:40:52We were cleaning out a nest of Japs on bait.
00:40:56Three men, buddies of Blair's, under my command.
00:41:00I was supposed to be covering them with a Tommy gun while they went ahead.
00:41:04Well, suddenly the place was alive with Japs.
00:41:08We've been ambushed.
00:41:10I signaled to the men to withdraw them.
00:41:13And we fell back, but they didn't make it.
00:41:18Well, maybe it was my fault.
00:41:21Maybe if I'd been more alert, they'd be alive.
00:41:25Blair knew it.
00:41:26The whole outfit knew it.
00:41:28To them, it looked like I was yellow.
00:41:30Something like that.
00:41:31He's getting out.
00:41:33But not me.
00:41:34I'm trying to make a regular army, and I've got to live that down.
00:41:40That's why I have to deliver you, Mora.
00:41:43It's my orders, and I'm not falling down this time, whether you like it or not.
00:41:49Ease up, Lieutenant.
00:41:50Things like that happen in a war.
00:41:53You're a bad boy.
00:42:01You're a bad boy.
00:42:22I've been trying to make a regular army.
00:42:28Alice.
00:42:32Alice.
00:43:07Philip!
00:43:08Philip!
00:43:09He's gone!
00:43:12He must have fallen overboard.
00:43:14The sea's been calm all night.
00:43:16He couldn't have fallen overboard.
00:43:19You were on watch, Hartley.
00:43:21What happened?
00:43:22I'm sorry.
00:43:23I must have gone to sleep.
00:43:28You don't think...
00:43:30You don't think I did it.
00:43:33But he couldn't have fallen overboard.
00:43:37But I went to sleep.
00:43:40He was there.
00:43:42Just a little while ago.
00:43:45He was there.
00:43:47And what happened to him, Rollins?
00:43:49What happened to him?
00:43:54I don't know, Alison.
00:43:57I just don't know.
00:44:04Don't look at me like that!
00:44:06I couldn't help it.
00:44:08I fell asleep.
00:44:11How convenient, Mr. Hartley.
00:44:13When someone stands in the way of peace and happiness,
00:44:17he must be eliminated.
00:44:18Isn't that our philosophy?
00:44:21I'll kill you for that!
00:44:23Stop it, Hartley!
00:44:24Sit down, everybody!
00:44:25Sit down, you tempers!
00:44:45Let's get the raft right in here.
00:44:48Pinker, Claire, Yomora, and you, Hartley, get on opposite ends to the other side, and when I get the word,
00:44:51push up, hard!
00:44:55All right, Susie and Mrs. Hartley, just watch yourself when she comes over so you won't be hit.
00:45:01All right, now you there, jump!
00:45:08Good! Now get aboard!
00:45:16The sail and oars are gone.
00:45:18That's just fine.
00:45:21Joanie's ring I was making, it's gone.
00:45:23Your ring?
00:45:24The water and rations are gone.
00:45:26I tried to tell you, the only way we'll come through this alive is to work together.
00:45:30You just couldn't get that through your heads.
00:45:32Some people have to learn the hard way.
00:45:34I went crazy.
00:45:35My leg and Smith didn't know what I was doing.
00:45:41We're done for it, it's all, it's my fault.
00:45:43Lay off that, Hartley!
00:45:45We've lost our supplies, yes.
00:45:47But plenty of men have survived on the sea for weeks with less than we have.
00:45:51But they've used their brains and they've worked together, not against each other.
00:45:57From here on, if anybody makes trouble, he's going to be tied up.
00:46:00But what can we do? We have no food or water.
00:46:03We can live for days without food if we only have guts.
00:46:07Can we keep on course, Captain?
00:46:08You mean without an oar?
00:46:11You bet we can.
00:46:13I'll rig a rudder with these lines and... and your Morris coat.
00:46:17We'll keep on course and we'll make those islands.
00:46:21Just keep your heads.
00:46:23You make me believe it, Alan.
00:46:25I don't know where we'd be without you.
00:46:27Well, stick close to me, Susie.
00:46:30Right now, I don't know whether I believe it myself.
00:46:32We'll be found.
00:46:34How do you know?
00:46:36I just know it.
00:46:38Oh, it better be soon, Susie.
00:46:41Oh, Roland.
00:46:42The pain must be horrible.
00:46:44I could have stood anything.
00:46:46I saw the doubt in your eyes.
00:46:50Oh, I didn't doubt you, Roland.
00:46:52It was just the shock of him being gone.
00:46:55I didn't know what to think.
00:46:57I can stand it.
00:46:59If you'll just forgive me for being such a fool.
00:47:05Look.
00:47:07He must have meant it as a message.
00:47:10Rest in the Lord.
00:47:12You shall receive his welcome home at last.
00:47:20Oh, he left a message, Roland.
00:47:23Who was Alan?
00:47:25No one can suspect you now.
00:47:27His mind couldn't stand the strain, not knowing.
00:47:33Alan, don't you think we ought to say a little prayer for Mr. Smith?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:39Better ask for some rain, too, Susie.
00:47:42Pinkert's pretty sick.
00:47:48Oh, Lord.
00:47:50Who knowest the sick and tormented minds of men?
00:47:55Help thy servant to find the peace and rest he knew not here.
00:47:59And help us, oh, Lord, to reach a safe harbor.
00:48:04And guide those who seek us.
00:48:08And send rain that thy suffering ones may be relieved.
00:48:17Free our hearts of jealousies and hatreds.
00:48:22Cleanse us of fears and suspicions.
00:48:26And give us courage to face our ordeal.
00:48:29And to be worthy of thy wisdom and benediction.
00:48:35Amen.
00:48:36Amen.
00:48:37Amen.
00:48:39Amen.
00:48:41See, that was good.
00:48:45I feel better already.
00:49:04I feel better.
00:49:05Alan.
00:49:06I think we've sprung a leak.
00:49:08Wake up, everybody.
00:49:09Wake up.
00:49:10We've sprung a leak.
00:49:11Each of you take a section.
00:49:12Hurry!
00:49:18Here it is.
00:49:19I got it right over here.
00:49:20The waterline.
00:49:22Keep your position.
00:49:23You'll tip us over.
00:49:26Hey, this is just like in a book I once read.
00:49:28About this little Dutch kid who stuck his finger on a dike and saved Holland.
00:49:32Now, this kid was very small.
00:49:33Oh, stop yapping.
00:49:34We've got to stop that leak.
00:49:36What can we use?
00:49:40Chewing gum.
00:49:43Well, fellas, I was gonna share with everybody honest.
00:49:46I was just saving it for a rainy day.
00:49:48Well, this is it.
00:49:51Here, chew it quickly.
00:49:57I'm sorry.
00:49:58We've got to have it back.
00:50:03Here, plug it up.
00:50:06Funny.
00:50:06This gum can save our lives.
00:50:09When I think of all the gobs of gum resting on the movie house seat at this very minute,
00:50:13it kind of makes me sad.
00:50:16Right.
00:50:18Look out, Blair!
00:50:19A shark!
00:50:21He's like in the water.
00:50:23Make it come out.
00:50:24It's right in the way.
00:50:26No!
00:50:31Oh.
00:50:31I'm going to kill him.
00:50:46Flushed him pretty deep.
00:50:48You've got to stop the bleeding.
00:50:53I'll need some bandage.
00:50:55Pinkard, look in those pockets again and see if you can't find something we can use.
00:51:01Nothing but this fishing line of merit.
00:51:14Ben.
00:51:16Say, you get a purple heart for shark bites?
00:51:19How do you feel?
00:51:23Wonderful.
00:51:25Better save your worry about that gum.
00:51:28Is it going to hold or ain't it?
00:51:31I'm looking for you.
00:51:31Right.
00:51:38I'm going to go to the side.
00:51:45Let's put it on the side.
00:51:47Hey, look up there.
00:51:49I can't see him.
00:51:50No, no, no.
00:52:00Wait, Jim.
00:52:05Fever hasn't broken, huh?
00:52:07No word?
00:52:10They haven't given up.
00:52:11They've covered the whole course three times.
00:52:14That's finished.
00:52:16They've quit.
00:52:16The CO's done everything humanly possible.
00:52:19I know.
00:52:21If only I didn't have to lie here.
00:52:23Helpless.
00:52:25Take it easy, fella.
00:52:26You're sick.
00:52:28I gotta go.
00:52:29I'll see you later.
00:52:42Try to shave his leg, too.
00:53:03Alan.
00:53:04Oh, it's you, Susie.
00:53:06Put the line in my head.
00:53:08Your eyes.
00:53:10You can't see.
00:53:11Don't let the others know.
00:53:13It's only sun blindness.
00:53:18What if we drift off course?
00:53:20We won't.
00:53:20But you'll have to be my eyes.
00:53:25Well...
00:53:26Easy now, Lieutenant.
00:53:28Just sit there and see that I keep the sun pointing at my right shoulder.
00:53:53That's better.
00:53:54On course.
00:54:06He's still here, Lieutenant. I've been watching him for you.
00:54:14Oh, Captain, sir.
00:54:15Yes?
00:54:16Do you think they're gonna do all those things with radar they've been talking about?
00:54:19What things?
00:54:21Practically everything.
00:54:22Maybe even making love by radar.
00:54:24Wouldn't that be something?
00:54:26Imagine.
00:54:27I'm here, and Joni's in Weehawken, and I'm kissing her by radar.
00:54:31Some world, huh?
00:54:32You're okay, Blair. Just hold that thought.
00:54:37I wish the lieutenant thought it was okay.
00:54:39I can't blame him.
00:54:41I gave him a rough deal.
00:54:44That's all right, Blair.
00:54:45How do you feel?
00:54:47I feel better if you'd shake my hand, sir.
00:54:54It's funny how you can get a guy all wrong.
00:54:57No guy with a streak would have jumped in the way you did to save me,
00:55:01knowing there was a man-eating shark around.
00:55:03Forget it, Blair.
00:55:09I hope that rotten shark gets a good case of tolmaine.
00:55:13About time for my watch.
00:55:16Give me a hand, will you, Captain?
00:55:21What's the matter, Captain?
00:55:23He can't see.
00:55:25He's blind.
00:55:26It's only sun blindness.
00:55:27Just temporary.
00:55:28But if you can't see, how can you navigate?
00:55:30We'll never reach those islands.
00:55:32Calm down.
00:55:34I've got the stars in my head like a chart.
00:55:36You all know the course by this time.
00:55:38If you drift off, I'll lay it out again.
00:55:41Lieutenant Frisco can pick out the stars.
00:55:43We'll make it.
00:55:44No, he won't.
00:55:46Why don't we go on like this?
00:55:47We've still got two chances.
00:55:49Either they find us, or we've still got two chances.
00:55:50Either the islands will be inhabited, or they won't.
00:55:52No, we're all gonna die on this raft.
00:55:54Why don't we keep torturing ourselves?
00:55:56Why don't we go overboard, not by sea?
00:55:59Grab her, Hartley.
00:56:00Hold her down.
00:56:01We haven't got a chance, and you know it.
00:56:04Everybody's sick or wounded, and now the captain's gone.
00:56:07Now we're all gonna die on this raft.
00:56:13We're gonna get some water anyway.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16Maybe more than we can handle.
00:56:18Looks like a storm.
00:56:27Hey, Peter, open the pockets in the raft to catch the rain.
00:56:31The rest of you help me bail.
00:57:02Well.
00:57:11Let's go.
00:57:50Let's go.
00:57:51Pete.
00:57:53George.
00:57:56Jim.
00:57:57Jim, what are you doing out of bed?
00:57:59Pete, you gotta help me.
00:58:01I wanna make one last search.
00:58:02You're crazy.
00:58:03You're sick.
00:58:04Anyway, what chances are-
00:58:05Call it a hunch.
00:58:06Call it anything you want.
00:58:07But I've got a feeling they're out there somewhere alive.
00:58:09Yeah, but we've searched.
00:58:10On the course to Manila.
00:58:11I wanna try off course.
00:58:13I've gotta follow my hunch, Pete.
00:58:14The CO's gonna chew us up for this.
00:58:16I'll have to take that chance.
00:58:17You get a crew out and clear the tower.
00:58:19Don't tell them I'm aboard.
00:58:21Throw me my pants.
00:58:23Thanks.
00:58:38It's the last try, Jim.
00:58:40The moon's coming up.
00:58:42Yeah, yeah, that's a break.
00:58:44How's good hunting, boy?
00:58:45Mocha Tower to Rover 1-2.
00:58:48Message for Lieutenant Sturdivant.
00:58:50Uh-oh.
00:58:51Go ahead, Tower.
00:58:52This is Lieutenant Sturdivant.
00:58:54You file Lieutenant Desser as co-pilot.
00:58:56Desser just walked in here.
00:58:58Who is your co-pilot?
00:59:03Captain James Willis.
00:59:05Captain Willis?
00:59:08He's supposed to be grounded.
00:59:10Better return to the field at once.
00:59:14I didn't hear a thing.
00:59:15That gadget's dead.
00:59:45I'm afraid it's a blank, Jim.
00:59:47I've got just about enough fuel to get home.
01:00:12You, you, you need to help me out.
01:00:18Look out of the crew.
01:00:21We've spotted the raft dead ahead.
01:00:23We're gonna buzz it at 200 feet.
01:00:26Prepare to drop smoke float.
01:00:27Roger.
01:00:29Navigator.
01:00:29Check wind direction from smoke float after we buzz the raft.
01:00:32Then stand by for lifeboat's salvo.
01:00:38Stand by with that smoke float.
01:00:41Let it go.
01:01:07Navigator to pilot.
01:01:09Turn in to final approach, course 195, altitude 1200, speed 120.
01:01:19Roger.
01:01:20Flaps.
01:01:22Pilot to navigator, course 195, altitude 1200, speed 120.
01:01:31It's all yours.
01:01:32Roger.
01:01:33Stand by for boat's elbow.
01:01:36A little to the right.
01:01:37Easy.
01:01:39Left a little.
01:01:41Hold it.
01:01:43Boat's away.
01:01:45And your Hindi.
01:02:13Lovely.
01:02:14fortunes.
01:02:40There's no signs of life.
01:02:43You'd think they'd try to get the boat.
01:02:45They all can't be dead.
01:02:51There's something wrong.
01:02:53There's plenty wrong.
01:02:55They're not even trying for the boat.
01:02:57They're all dead or too weak to try to make it.
01:03:06Pete, I'm going down to help.
01:03:08You can't do a jump into that water. You're sick yourself.
01:03:10Let me handle it.
01:03:11This is my job.
01:03:21Good luck, sir.
01:03:46Here's your job.
01:03:46Here's your job.
01:03:47Let's go.
01:03:54Please, come on.
01:03:54You're a good one.
01:04:10We need you.
01:04:10Oh, my God.
01:04:40Oh, my God.
01:05:23Oh, my God.
01:05:46Oh, my God.
01:05:48Thank God.
01:05:49Thank God we couldn't have lasted another day.
01:05:52Susie.
01:05:53Susie, where are you?
01:05:54I'll be right with you, Alan.
01:05:56It's unblindness.
01:05:57We'd better get him into the boat.
01:05:59Help Mrs. Hartley first.
01:06:14Go on in, Pete.
01:06:15Get that PBY out here pronto.
01:06:18These people can't stand the trip back in the boat.
01:06:20They need medical attention right now.
01:06:22Roger will be seeing you.
01:06:33Here's some hot blue yarn for you, Alan.
01:06:52Hold your head back.
01:06:58There.
01:07:07Don't go away, Susie.
01:07:09Right now, I feel like a kid in the dark.
01:07:12I need you.
01:07:15Your eyes will be all right in a few days.
01:07:18I know they will.
01:07:20Why don't you try to get some rest?
01:07:22PBY will be out to pick us up soon.
01:07:23He's still got some patience to take care of.
01:07:29I don't know how we'd ever come through it without him.
01:07:32Funny how little you appreciate people
01:07:34until you're thrown close together with him.
01:07:37I guess he's a pretty swell guy.
01:07:39You bet he is.
01:07:40A pretty swell guy.
01:07:42Don't worry. He'll be okay.
01:07:54He's cool guy.
01:08:01You bet.
01:08:07Bye!
01:08:09I'm tired.
01:08:10I'm tired of trying here, man.
01:08:12Look, I'm tired of it.

01:08:23You're flying like me!
01:08:24Let's go.
01:09:05That's a rough sea to take off in.
01:09:06Get one of those waves and you could crack up.
01:09:09We don't take off that way.
