00:00The End
00:42¶¶
01:06¶¶
01:12¶¶
01:13Comes a board in less than two hours, master.
01:16We should have been ready before this.
01:18Ready in time, sir.
01:21My God!
01:23The whole deck's in good, Tim, except the party's gonna notice first.
01:26Where's the mate of the upper deck?
01:27At the dockyard, sir.
01:28Trying to chase up some paint we indented for last week.
01:31Don't we even carry enough paint?
01:39And why are those stores sitting there on the jetty?
01:43I'll inform the supply officer.
01:44No, I will.
01:47You get a party in the hangar master.
01:49It looks like a garden shed.
01:52All right, you lads.
01:53Cover us, have you?
01:55Bill, when are you gonna fix that oven for us?
01:57All in good time.
01:58Yes, you said that a week ago.
02:00We're undergoing a self-maintenance period, Monty.
02:02Everything has its priorities.
02:04Your oven is pretty low on the list.
02:05Yes, well any idea when you...
02:07There's a pile of stores sitting on the jetty.
02:09I don't want our captain to have to climb over them when he comes aboard.
02:11Well, at least they've arrived.
02:12I'll see about it right away, sir.
02:14See what you can do for us, Bill.
02:15Right.
02:16Is your department in good shape, Bill?
02:18The weapons and electrical department is in just the shape it should be
02:20on the tenth day of a self-maintenance period, sir.
02:24Will our new captain expect anything else?
02:27I was going to say that if things could be better than he expected,
02:30it would give us all the good stuff we could do with.
02:33Don't you think?
02:37Harris officers, frustrated POs, bored men, no coordination,
02:42Marine departments, everybody getting in each other's way,
02:44causing severe damage to morale and discipline right through the ship.
02:48Understandable, perhaps, certain view of the circumstances.
02:50Of course.
02:50They hadn't had a captain for six weeks.
02:52And even then, of course, he was a sick man,
02:54although we didn't know it then.
02:56Mental illness takes some time to be recognized.
02:59Still, when he'd left, I naturally supposed that his first lieutenant could take over.
03:02I didn't know that he had his problems too.
03:05His wife, I believe.
03:06Oh, yes.
03:07That might explain his drinking, but it hardly excuses it.
03:12Well, this new chap, Beaumont, arrived three days ago.
03:16He seems a good man.
03:17Oh, he is, sir.
03:17He was my number one some years ago in a sweeper.
03:19He's first trained.
03:20Well, he needs to be.
03:22I believe he's got a lot of trouble sorting things out for you.
03:25Have you, uh, seen Hera yet?
03:29Barely, sir.
03:30My orders were to report to you first.
03:32Well, come and take a look at her.
03:33One of the great advantages of this job, you know,
03:35is that you can see most of the ships from the office window.
03:39Though I, uh, I doubt if they think it's an advantage out there.
03:44This your first command?
03:47Uh, no, sir. Two minesweavers.
03:49Small ships.
03:50Hmm.
03:52In my day, frigates were small ships.
03:55Well, they've given you a severe test.
03:58It shouldn't be beyond you.
04:01Thank you, sir.
04:03I want that ship pulled together, Niles.
04:08I wonder what he is like.
04:10Well, the first lieutenant seems to think very highly of him.
04:13It's hardly surprising, of course, old shipmates.
04:16We'd better watch our language in the wardroom.
04:18Come on.
04:18Well, it's the duty of a number one to keep the captain informed about it, officers.
04:23Yes, except in this case there'll be 100% loyalty from Beaumont upwards.
04:26None at all downwards.
04:27He's a whole lot better than his predecessor, anyway.
04:30Have you fallen for the old-school charm already?
04:32I haven't noticed any charm at all.
04:33No, he's been chasing me all the way.
04:35He wants to get on with the job and no messing.
04:36He wants to impress his friend the captain and if things are any better than his right to expect that
04:40it's all due to him.
04:41Now give him a chance, Bill.
04:44For four months we've been stuck with a skipper in the hands of a psychiatrist
04:47and the number one who was on the bottle.
04:50And what do they give us now?
04:51A commander who's never heard anything better than a minesweeper
04:54and his tame first lieutenant who is the son of an admiral.
05:00I've just heard from the tower.
05:02Commander Nars will be with us in five minutes.
05:03I didn't think he was due till 1430, sir.
05:06There's no point in sitting around if there's work to be done here.
05:08All new captains like to arrive early if they can.
05:11Catch us off guard.
05:13No need to join me in greeting him.
05:15Heads of departments can meet him later when they go on the ship with him.
05:21I know the captain would rather have you all at work than lined up on deck saluting.
05:25Especially when there's so much work for all of us to be doing.
05:30I may be right, Bill.
05:46Welcome to the hero, sir.
05:47Thank you, Bill.
05:49All right.
05:54Go in.
05:57Oh, superintendent, come in.
05:58Hello, sir.
05:58How are you?
05:59Very well.
06:00Good party last night.
06:01Nice to see you.
06:02Yes.
06:05Bellamy, what's all this about, hmm?
06:07The police wanting the Navy's help?
06:09Yes, sir, it's true.
06:11The only trouble is I don't know when.
06:13When the time comes, we're gonna need your help in a hurry.
06:24What the hell is that bitch?
06:33Excuse me.
06:35Listen.
06:37If you happen to stumble over my wife while you're snooping around my ship, you send her to me, huh?
06:44And I know she's hiding somewhere on this bridge.
06:46And when I get my hands on her...
06:48What are you looking for, anyway?
06:50Just routine.
06:51Look, man, there's no dope in here, I swear it.
06:53Where the hell is she?
06:54Look, man, you'll find out in here.
06:55Where the hell's Janet, huh?
06:57She went ashore, sir.
06:58She did not?
06:59Yes, you're asleep in your cabin.
07:00You're lying, Monroe.
07:02No, I'm not, sir.
07:03Your dinghy's still alongside.
07:04She went to the water boat.
07:05You're lying.
07:06No, I'm not, sir.
07:08She's on this lousy ship somewhere.
07:10And when I find her and the bastards she's with, I'll throw the both of them over the side.
07:14Oh, John Captain.
07:15We can go along to your cabin now, sir.
07:17What for? She's not there.
07:18It's not your wife we happen to be looking for, sir.
07:21Please.
07:22And what the hell are we looking for?
07:24Coming aboard my ship?
07:25I'm not even discharging cargo here.
07:50What time are you setting, Mr. McPee?
07:52I have engine trouble and he needs some new parts.
07:55Exactly.
07:55It'll depend on the yard, Thursday, Friday, if I find my old woman by then.
08:00I'm sure she can't be too far away, Captain.
08:02Well, I'll not have her rowing around Jim for the next three days.
08:06Well, all that seems to be in order.
08:07I'll beg you good day.
08:08Good day.
08:09Good day.
08:09And if you see her, we're sure...
08:10Good day!
08:11You tell him if he's looking for her!
08:13Good day!
08:14Good day!
08:14Good day!
08:14Good day!
08:18Good day!
08:34Good day!
08:36Good day!
08:56We are searching all the ships, but the port's busy.
08:59Well, if she's running guns, I'm surprised she'd even call in it, Jib.
09:03Well, they have to meet an agent here, a man called O'Leary.
09:06We know he's the front man for one of the biggest operators in this business.
09:10We're searching all the ships, finding nothing.
09:13So we're going to tail O'Leary and see who he contacts.
09:16And that's where we need your help.
09:18If we make a hash of it, that ship could be outside territorial waters within 15 minutes,
09:23and no police launch could catch her.
09:25And you think the Navy could?
09:27Yeah.
09:28It takes eight hours, you know, to get a frigate flashed up from cold.
09:31I could put one under notice for steam now if you're sure you're going to need her.
09:34I can't be sure yet.
09:36Well, let me know just as soon as you are.
09:38On the whole, we seem to be quite well advanced with the maintenance period, number one.
09:42Hmm.
09:43Let's see if we compete in our fortnighter.
09:47Sorry, sir.
09:48What's your name, tape?
09:49Leading steward Brown, sir.
09:51I'll remember it more easily if I say it written up.
09:52Yes, sir.
09:54All right, carry on.
09:55Thank you, sir.
09:56Get rid of that.
10:00Two weeks.
10:01Yes, sir.
10:01Well, maybe we can get it done before then.
10:02Put that on a harbour for a bit.
10:04That's four eggs now, will ya?
10:05All right.
10:07You're a great steaming boat.
10:09Why don't you watch where you're going?
10:10I'm sorry, Dave.
10:11That was a new captain there.
10:12I just bumped into him.
10:14You seem to make a habit of it, don't you?
10:16Oh, well, he can't expect to find everything ship-shaped.
10:18Well, at least he'll get us back to sea one day.
10:20Oh, that'll be the day.
10:22No, he's for packing up the maintenance period early.
10:24Get out of harbour, he said.
10:25Huh?
10:26When?
10:26Just now.
10:28When are we getting out of harbour?
10:29Oh, I don't know, but I don't mind so long as it's not this afternoon.
10:32Have a big date at four.
10:33But you're still on duty to four.
10:35Oh, slope off a bit early.
10:36Won't be the first time.
10:40Right.
10:41Well, that's about it.
10:42Quick tour, anyway.
10:44Don't look so pained, master.
10:45Whatever I may have noticed going round the ship,
10:47I can't really be blamed on an SMP,
10:49even though being without a captain or a first-night dinner
10:51might have had something to do with it.
10:52I've as good as forgotten.
10:56We're a full ship's complement now,
10:58so let's take it from today.
11:01That make good sense to you, gentlemen?
11:04Let's stop scratching our itches and get on with it.
11:06Right, Bill?
11:12Run!
11:20Yes, master?
11:23There's still five minutes before secure.
11:26Five minutes of work.
11:27Oh, have a heart, master.
11:29I've got this date.
11:30She's a Moroccan girl.
11:31She has to catch the ferry at six.
11:32Well, it's nearly four.
11:38How long, Brown, did it take you to change into plain clothes?
11:41Oh, I'm very quick.
11:41A few seconds.
11:42Well, I'll give you a bit more than that to change back again.
11:45I'll give you over an hour.
11:47Master, look, I've got this...
11:47You report back to me at 1700 properly dressed!
11:51Move!
11:53We're back in the Navy, lad!
11:55And about time, too.
11:58Yes!
11:59Left-down at last.
12:01Left-down at last, sir.
12:02Oh, Bob last, isn't it?
12:04Yes, sir.
12:04That's right.
12:05What do you rug a captain?
12:06Dart with 96-6.
12:07That's right, sir.
12:08Yeah, it's a pretty good squash player, too, I hear.
12:10Do you play some?
12:10Oh, I might give you a game.
12:11We might get time to unpack my racket.
12:13Like another Scot, sir.
12:14Oh, thank you, possible.
12:15Um, Peter.
12:16Yes, the time.
12:17Let me see.
12:17Well, didn't you do your flying training with, uh...
12:19Dickie Enders, Linton on Ooves, 1968.
12:22Yes, that's right, sir.
12:24Oh, he's come down in the world.
12:25He's dying.
12:26The father's certainly done his homework, hasn't he?
12:30She's a Moroccan girl.
12:31Works in the kitchen here.
12:33You know her name is.
12:34She'll have caught the ferry by now.
12:37Well, you couldn't just check for me, could you?
12:39She's supposed to be meeting me.
12:48Has she stood you up?
12:50Oh, she'll probably say I did.
12:51I'm a bit on the late side.
12:52Oh, you're not the only one.
12:55She's gone.
12:58What time are you supposed to be meeting her?
12:59At four outside.
13:01Four?
13:01Men.
13:02Well, I couldn't help it.
13:03I got held up.
13:05I expect a girl to wait three hours for you.
13:07Well, you seem to be waiting quite a time for your friend.
13:10Yes.
13:12Can I have another gin, please?
13:13Yes, madam.
13:14Make that two.
13:16Hey, have that on me.
13:17Why does a permissive society stop short on reaching me?
13:20The trouble is you always pick up the innocent birds.
13:23You're right, Bob.
13:23I'm just a romantic.
13:24Do you think we could be through the S&P by Thursday this year?
13:27Well, we're still having trouble with the main feed farm, sir.
13:30But we're doing our best, of course.
13:31We can't ask for more than your best, now, can we?
13:33Scotch, sir.
13:33Oh, thank you, Derek.
13:34Wait, Clint.
13:35How are things going with the supply department?
13:36Could you be through by Thursday?
13:37Well, if we advance the storing, sir.
13:40Good, good.
13:40I don't know what number one is going to say about the semen department.
13:42We're okay, sir.
13:43I think I can tell you, sir, that if there's the slightest chance of going to see,
13:46every man in this ship will see to it that you can.
13:49Well, we've been sitting around on our backside so long, we've all got bedsores.
13:53Bill, how about weapons and elects?
13:54Sorry, gentlemen, for talking shopper.
13:56I'd like to be able to tell the ship's company that we're wrapping up the S&P and going to
13:59sea for 48 hours.
14:01And do a few knots, sir.
14:03Well, sir, the self-maintenance period is not due to be completed until tomorrow week.
14:08I mean, the weapons and electrical department will, of course, be ready by then.
14:13Yes, well, we'll just have to wait another week then, shall we?
14:15Gentlemen, thank you for your hospitality.
14:19I'll say good night.
14:20Good night, sir.
14:25For God's sake, Bill.
14:27Well, where to be driven into the ground so he can prove himself?
14:29That's not why he said it.
14:30He's sized up the state of this ship within ten minutes of coming on board.
14:34To get out of jib for a few days could be just what's needed.
14:36At least give the man a chance.
14:38I think he's going to be a good one.
14:43Good night.
14:45Good night.
14:45Good night, Bill.
14:55Look, sir, don't worry.
14:56It's all right, sir.
14:57It's really all right.
14:58Look, I know I've only been in this ship three days.
15:02Isn't it about time someone called me by my first name?
15:07Well, they're all rather shy.
15:10Of course, a round of drinks might make us more than a beer.
15:12I thought it might.
15:13A dram-buy shandy day.
15:14Oh, really?
15:16I've heard about you for a few, sir.
15:17I know you're a booze of a way of that.
15:19Come on, let's go.
15:21No, I must wait for my friend, honestly.
15:23Well, he won't turn up.
15:24It's nearly nine.
15:25Well, you turned up after three hours.
15:26Well, she didn't wait, did she?
15:27And no more should you.
15:28Look, there's a little Spanish kiff I know around the corner.
15:30We could have a cup.
15:31If we're going to eat anywhere, we're eating right here in the hotel.
15:34Well, the stewards pay this place.
15:36Oh, are you a steward?
15:37Leading steward.
15:38Leading steward, huh?
15:39What do you think I was, bloody captain?
15:43What's so funny?
15:44Nothing.
15:45I wonder, would you get me another drink, please, steward?
15:49Thank you, Jenkins.
15:51Come in.
15:54Coffee?
15:55Oh, no, thanks, sir.
16:02How are we doing?
16:05Well?
16:06Not with Kiley.
16:08Oh, no, sir.
16:09But he will come round.
16:11The others ask me to tell you.
16:13My predecessor was his age.
16:16I think so, yes, sir.
16:17Yes, Kiley could kid himself then.
16:19Just.
16:19Not now.
16:20A captain six years is junior.
16:22That could be a problem.
16:24A soldier in the moment that he remembers me as a young lieutenant in sweepers
16:27when he was a two and a half on the base staff,
16:28I called him, sir, then.
16:30Yes.
16:39Wait here just a moment.
16:41Barman?
16:42Yes, madam?
16:42I would like to leave a message, please.
16:44Yes, madam.
16:45Who for?
16:45For the person I am waiting for.
16:47Mr. O'Leary.
16:48How will I know him?
16:49He's Irish, and about 40, and will be looking for me, and will probably be drinking rum and orange.
16:58Madam, what do I tell him, madam?
16:59Oh, that I shall be dining in the restaurant downstairs with leading steward.
17:05Yes, madam.
17:06Tell him las parenza round the corner.
17:07No, downstairs.
17:08Oh, look, wait a minute.
17:09Hang on.
17:09Just wait a minute.
17:10Listen.
17:11Look, the bloke who runs his Spanish joint has got a couple of rums upstairs.
17:14Now, we could have one if we wanted.
17:16What would we be wanting a rung for?
17:19Well, you never know how things might turn out, do you?
17:21Oh, get out.
17:22Go on.
17:23What?
17:24Hey, stop, you!
17:25Stop!
17:26Don't be a prick.
17:27I'll hit me.
17:29Hitting, steward brown, sir.
17:35Hitting, off-cap.
17:38Leading steward brown, sir.
17:41Was guilty of disorder, the creditors of good order and naval discipline,
17:46in creating a disturbance on shore at the Royal Hotel Gibraltar.
17:54The police have agreed to our trying this man?
17:57Yes, sir.
17:58So is the hotel proprietor, as long as he's reimbursed for the damage.
18:05I'll hear the evidence in support of the charge.
18:13Did they fetch the police?
18:14I don't know.
18:14I didn't wait to find out.
18:16Look, I had waited for O'Leary for four hours, and he didn't show.
18:19Suppose he came later.
18:21So I left a message with the barman to tell him I'd been waiting for him.
18:24Do you mean you left your name with the barman?
18:26No.
18:26I told him that I was waiting for a man called O'Leary.
18:30I did not say who I was.
18:31But suppose the barman mentions that to the police?
18:34Why the hell should he?
18:35What has this got to do with some drunken sailor smashing the place up
18:39just because I threw him to the floor?
18:47Who was this woman?
18:48I don't know, sir.
18:49She said she was waiting for someone.
18:51An Irish fellow called O'Leary.
18:53My knee didn't turn up, I thought.
18:54You made an unseemly suggestion.
18:56She laid you out flat on the deck.
18:57Yes, sir.
19:00Any witnesses you want to call?
19:02No, sir.
19:04So why can't we just sail?
19:05Because we need a six-figure grid reference for the charts.
19:09Well, you know roughly where the rendezvous is supposed to be.
19:11Roughly?
19:12A 50-mile box, and we don't even know the name of the vessel we're going to meet.
19:18How long do we have to wait, then?
19:21I'll give him another night.
19:23Well, I can't go back in that bar again.
19:27Now you're right.
19:30You go.
19:33How was it?
19:34I'm on remand.
19:36Warrant fine, probably.
19:37Plus 50 quid of me wage for the damage.
19:39Expensive night.
19:40Oh, if I ever see that female again,
19:42by God, I'll forget I'm a gentleman.
19:48An application for appointment elsewhere
19:50is more likely to be successful if you give reasons.
19:53I'd be grateful if it could be forwarded through the Admiral here, sir.
19:56The reasons would be obvious to him.
19:59It's not going to do your career much good.
20:02There's not a lot left of my career to matter, sir.
20:03Oh, come now, Bill.
20:04You're one of the best weapons and electrics officers I could have.
20:09Yes, sir.
20:12All right.
20:13I'll get it across to him.
20:16By tomorrow morning, this could be on its way to the Commander-in-Chief.
20:18Do you want it to go through that fast?
20:20If it can, yes, sir.
20:22In return, Bill,
20:24will you have your department ready
20:25so I can put to sea at 1600 tomorrow?
20:31I'll see that it is, sir.
20:37There's nothing personal in this, sir.
20:41I mean, had I waited to apply for my reappointment
20:44until I'd served under your command for five or six weeks,
20:47I mean, it might seem to have reflect on you.
20:49I mean, this way it can't.
20:50You're very bitter.
20:52Well, you give your life to the service.
20:54You don't put a foot wrong anywhere.
20:56People whose face is fit get given jobs.
21:03It's a matter of principle, sir.
21:07Come in.
21:10Ah, Niles, come in.
21:11Good evening, sir.
21:12You caught me.
21:13I was about to have one.
21:14Will you join me?
21:14Is that whiskey, sir?
21:15It is.
21:16Thank you very much, sir.
21:17Whiskey it is.
21:18Straight?
21:19Ah, please say yes.
21:22Oh, yeah.
21:23So, how's it going?
21:24I want your permission to put to sea tomorrow, sir.
21:27Take out for a bit.
21:27Say we're shakedown.
21:28I think it would be good for morale.
21:30What about the S.M.P.?
21:33All departments are ready to go, sir.
21:35Hmm.
21:36Including, uh, weapons and electrics?
21:40Especially weapons and electrics.
21:41In return for my getting that to you so promptly,
21:44he was particularly anxious that it should go through you.
21:48Well, it might be quite some time before I get round to reading this, Niles.
21:51I've got a lot on my plate.
21:53Well, sir, I can't really depend on an officer who has no confidence in me.
21:57Give him time.
21:58Time, sir.
21:59Time for what?
22:00Excuse me, sit down.
22:02Yes, sir.
22:04Oh, Superintendent, don't tell me you're going to call on us now.
22:07No, not yet, sir.
22:08I'm just calling to say we won't need your help today,
22:10but almost certainly within the next 48 hours.
22:13Does this mean that your man O'Leary's turned up?
22:15No, no, not yet, but I'm just keeping you posted here.
22:18Well, thanks for warning me.
22:19I shall be up at the Mount all evening if you need me.
22:21Right.
22:21That was, uh, Superintendent Bellamy of the police.
22:25They think there's a gun-running freighter in the harbour.
22:28What was their name, sir, O'Leary?
22:31Yes, why?
22:33Well, one of my men had some trouble with a woman in a bar.
22:36She was trying to make contact with a man called O'Leary.
22:58Sir?
22:59Rum and orange, please.
23:00Yes, sir.
23:07Another whiskey, mate.
23:08Yes, sir.
23:20Could I use your phone?
23:21A local call, sir.
23:22Harbour master.
23:23Yes, sir.
23:38Do you need something, please?
23:41Yes, sir.
23:42Harbour master's office.
23:44I'm inquiring about a ship called the Princess Ida.
23:47She's due in on Saturday.
23:50Saturday afternoon, 3.30.
23:53I just thought she might have got in early, that's all.
24:03Is your clock right?
24:04I should be, sir.
24:06All right.
24:07Good night, then.
24:08Good night, sir.
24:10Hello, Mr. Mate.
24:12It's you.
24:13Has your captain found his wife yet?
24:15Bye, lad.
24:16You did not save me a lot of trouble there.
24:18Were you a drink, mate?
24:19No, no, don't.
24:20No, here you are.
24:21Get this lad a drink, will you?
24:23I'm sorry I can't, sir.
24:24That's all right, my pleasure.
24:25Thanks a lot.
24:27What was that about?
24:28Oh, it's a good story, but he needs time to tell.
24:31Have you got a minute?
24:33You're sure you got these numbers right, huh?
24:35Well, I just had to watch the dial as he telephoned.
24:39Okay.
24:40Two, four, five.
24:42And there's three, seven, two for the other coordinates.
24:45What time do we have to be there?
24:47Saturday afternoon, 3.30.
24:49He even told us the name of the ship we have to meet, Princess Ida.
24:53Passed all that information right underneath the copper's news.
25:10Anybody tried to contact him yet?
25:12No, sir.
25:12Doesn't seem to be waiting for anyone.
25:14Oh, yes, he is.
25:15This is from the Admiral.
25:16Somebody tried to meet him last night, a woman.
25:20But whoever comes tonight, that's the one we're waiting for.
25:23And what about him, sir?
25:25Pick him up any time.
25:28Well, I'll have a large scotch.
25:37I still think we should sail tonight.
25:40No.
25:41I bought clearance for tomorrow.
25:44Slept early with a rouse of suspicion.
25:45Yeah, but look, Mark.
25:46If they pick up O'Leary, we're injured still.
25:48Never.
25:50They'll eat him a dance all around Jim tonight.
25:52Supposing they get bored and arrest him?
25:55Ah, he'll have a good enough yarn to see us through to tomorrow.
25:58We'll sail in the morning as planned.
26:01Last orders, gentlemen, please.
26:02Last orders.
26:05Last orders.
26:17Is there anybody who's not going to be ready by 1600?
26:19Chief Paye, no boy?
26:20No, sir.
26:21I think everyone is ready, sir.
26:22Yes.
26:23Excuse me, sir.
26:24Yes, pilot.
26:25The police are here, sir.
26:26I want a question leading Stuart Brown.
26:28Ah, yes.
26:28If he's to go to police headquarters, make sure he's back by the time we sail.
26:31Right, sir.
26:37And he sat on that bar stool till two o'clock this morning.
26:42I remember.
26:43When he left here, we followed him.
26:44He led us all around the town, so in the end we pulled him in.
26:48So?
26:48You can ask him.
26:49I'm asking you.
26:51The only man he was seen to speak to last night was you.
26:53You don't think I'm mixed up in this, do you?
26:55Well, he met nobody else.
26:57We made a phone call.
26:59Harbour master's office, he says.
27:01About a ship that isn't even due, and nobody there remembers it.
27:06Did you see what number he dialed?
27:07I was amazed he got through.
27:09He dialed six figures.
27:11I was serving a customer at the time.
27:13I don't remember.
27:14Customer where?
27:15Where you are now.
27:17Did they talk?
27:18Not a word.
27:20Your chap came up, bought a drink, then he left.
27:26This customer, what was he like?
27:28He was in the Merchant Navy.
27:30One of the customs blokes was in here.
27:31Told me a story about him.
27:32It's the mate on the, um, the Edith.
27:36See what time the Edith sails.
27:37Sir.
27:38Oh, you won't find anything in that ship.
27:39Customs have searched her.
27:41Said the only thing they found that shouldn't have been there was the captain's wife.
27:45Stuck naked in the first mate's locker.
27:47That should have caused a punch-up.
27:49Oh, no, no, he's pretending not to see her.
27:50I mean, he couldn't pull her out.
27:52I don't front of the skipper.
27:53He would have murdered the whole lot of them.
27:55I wonder when the Edith's due to sail.
27:56So they left her where she was.
27:59Didn't examine the locker further.
28:01I don't know about that.
28:02I didn't say it.
28:03I see.
28:05False panel.
28:06Oldest trick in the book.
28:08Come on, Sergeant.
28:09We'll search the Edith again.
28:10Too late, sir.
28:11She sailed three minutes ago.
28:18Uh, yes, sir.
28:19One moment, please.
28:19It's the admiral.
28:21Thank you, Derek.
28:23Sir.
28:27I see, sir.
28:29Yes, we can.
28:33Right, sir.
28:36Scramble the wasp.
28:37Yes, sir.
28:46Hands to flying stations.
28:48Hands to flying stations.
28:51Scramble the wasp.
28:53This is not an exercise.
28:56Hands to flying stations.
28:58No smoking on the other deck above the main floor.
29:16Yes, sir.
29:28Yes, sir.
29:30How's she doing?
29:31Well, we've got her on the radar now, sir.
29:33She's making about ten knots.
29:35Presumably she doesn't know we're after her.
29:37Well, even so, she could be outside that limit in 12 minutes from now.
29:40Well, we might be just about like that, sir.
29:42Yeah, well, make sure she's well inside that limit when the helicopter tries to arrest her.
29:45I don't want a breach of international law.
29:48Understood, sir.
29:52If she doesn't stop with the wasp, we may have to go after her ourselves.
29:55So tell the chief to be as quick as he can.
29:56Start the sea complex, pilot.
29:58Aye, sir.
29:59Derek, send Boswell to my cabin as soon as he's dressed.
30:02Yes, sir.
30:07Stand, boys.
30:32Stop and be searched.
30:33Have you done it before, Peter?
30:34Well, not for real, sir.
30:35Well, make sure I understand you.
30:36Stop and be searched.
30:38Now, you may need to overfly until the hero can catch up.
30:41So maximum endurance.
30:42Right, sir.
30:42All right, carry on, sir.
30:46Wheelhouse bridge.
30:47Check ship's head by gyro.
30:49Aye, sir.
30:50And clear.
30:503-4-1.
30:521-0.
30:523-4-0.
30:53Half.
30:548-0.
30:54How far she's going?
30:551.5 miles, sir.
30:57Halfway.
30:58Not yet, sir.
30:59Correct from the bridge.
31:01On the course she's following, the territorial limit is 3.8 miles.
31:04She should reach there in 9 and a half minutes from now.
31:07Or sooner if she increases speed.
31:09Which she can very easily.
31:10If only I knew how good the flight is.
31:13Well, bound to be a bit rusty, sir.
31:14Well, I've had 3 and a half minutes so far.
31:17How much longer?
31:18Another six.
31:20I had three to get there.
31:23Pilot, what chance do we stand with the Geminis?
31:2526 knots.
31:27We should be there from launching in, uh...
31:28Just under 8 minutes.
31:30Don't ever up the Wasp.
31:31Launch the Geminis.
31:32Sir.
31:32Flying white ensigns.
31:33Sir.
32:01I want 9-hundred.
32:06I want 9-hundred.
32:18Engine wrong.
32:19Testing communications for the bridge.
32:21Saving your allowance and clear.
32:22Loud and clear, all sir.
32:28Main broadcast alarm is about to be tested.
32:37Right, Mark, all secure.
32:40Take over.
32:42I'm going below.
33:03It's no good, sir. They're only doing 20 knots. It must be pretty rough out there.
33:13State of the Wasp?
33:15I'm manning up now, sir.
33:39I'm sorry, Paul?
33:39I'm gonna goeroom, sir.
33:40I can goeroom.
33:45You can move the dude up and you can move theading slide.
33:46Ready?
33:47Okay.
33:48I'm gonna goeroom.
33:49No, no.
33:49No, no, no.
33:49No, no, no, no.
33:51No, no, no.
33:53I can't look at the video.
33:53I'm going to goeroom.
33:55I'm going to be進icare to the video.
33:55And if I'm going to goeroom.
33:57You're going to have a little bit more.
33:58But if I can get in the video.
33:59You're going to get a little bit more.
34:00Seven minutes.
34:26Yeah, what do you want?
34:27You better get up here, Mark. I think they're afterwards.
34:29What more?
34:30Cuss is a naval helicopter out here, that's why.
34:39Bridge.
34:40Opsrum.
34:41Wasp reports visual on coast and clothing rapidly.
34:44Right, Opsrum.
34:45Tell the wasp we need to mark our exact position.
34:47Reply when overhead.
34:48Roger.
35:00She's overhead now.
35:02Just two and a half cables inside the limiter.
35:04Arrest her.
35:13What the hell is he playing at?
35:16Take her position.
35:21I have orders to instruct you to stop and await search by authorized officers of Her Majesty's government.
35:31We must be outside those limits by now.
35:34No.
35:35I don't think so.
35:37Make up your minds, stupid.
35:38Either we are or we are not.
35:40All right, then I will.
35:44All right, put it out there.
35:46Two Gemini craft from Her Majesty's ship hero will be here in four minutes.
35:52You are ordered to let them board you to return to harbor.
35:57Full speed ahead, Jimmy.
35:59With any luck, we'll smash those rotor plates with our mast.
36:07Bridge.
36:08Opsrum.
36:09Wasp reports cursor refuses to stop and is now proceeding to west at full speed.
36:14Tell the wasp continue to overfly.
36:16Check endurance.
36:17Aye, aye, sir.
36:18I'll be in my cabin.
36:23He's still there.
36:24Ah, well, he won't be for long.
36:26He'll soon be running low on fuel.
36:28We're home and dry, wifey.
36:31International waters.
36:39Aye, sir.
36:40Yes, Chief.
36:42Engine room department ready to proceed to see, sir.
36:45Can I get underway?
36:46Oh, yes, sir.
36:47Confirmed.

36:50Congratulations.
36:55To flag officer Gidwalter, can proceed to see at 12.05.
36:59Good.
37:00The helicopter will have to refuel, sir.
37:03Can the Gemini take over?
37:04On the right and the coaster's tail now, sir.
37:05Give me the flag, officer.
37:06Opsrum.
37:07Tell the flag commander not to return until the Geminis have taken station.
37:10Fire, sir.

38:10Let go for it.
38:13She's all right.

39:53Yeah, the chopper's gone, but those rubber boats are still with us.
39:56Well, if they want to screw along either side like a couple of porpoises, that don't hurt us.
40:03Hey, come back!
40:06There's a bloody great warship come out of harbor.
40:30Let's go.
