[SINGING IN GERMAN] [SPEAKING GERMAN] Radio: AND IN BREACH OF A PACT OF NON-AGGRESSIONS... [THOMAS LAUGHS] WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS IT TODAY?
IT'S MUMMY'S BIRTHDAY.
Suzy: MY BIRTHDAY.
[BOTH LAUGH] OH, THIS LOOKS GOOD.
YEAH, WELL, GO ON, THEN.
ONE, TWO, THREE... [BLOWS] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] LOOK AT THE SMOKE.
[ALL TALKING] [BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYS] [BOTH LAUGH] [SHIP'S HORN BLOWS] YOU HAVE MISSED THE BOAT, MA'AM.
NO.
I'VE JUST SEEN THE BOAT.
BUT YOU HAVE MISSED IT, MA'AM.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
REGULATIONS.
SIR, PLEASE.
WE WERE JUST SHUTTING UP SHOP, I'M AFRAID.
IN FACT, WE HAVE SHUT UP SHOP.
I ONLY WANT SOME SUGAR AND TEA.
WELL, I HOPE YOU'VE GOT YOUR RATION BOOK AND YOUR CO-OP NUMBER IN TRIPLICATE.
COME ON.
BOY OR A GIRL?
GIRL.
PASSPORT, MADAM.
IT'S IN THE SUITCASE SOMEWHERE.
FEEL FREE TO OPEN IT.
IS SHE GOOD?
I'M VERY LUCKY.
SHE WAKES UP IN THE MORNING WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AND IT STAYS THERE ALL DAY.
DESPITE EVERYTHING.
YES, DESPITE EVERYTHING.
GOT TWO GIRLS AT HOME.
BIT OLDER THAN, UH... ELLA.
LOVELY NAME.
WELL, THEN YOU ARE NOW FREE TO BOARD THE LACONIA BOUND FOR LIVERPOOL.
MISSUS... SMITH.
HILDA SMITH.
AND YOU ARE?
THOMAS MORTIMER.
JUNIOR THIRD OFFICER MORTIMER.
NOT A BAD DAY FOR IT.
ALL RIGHT.
PENNY FOR THEM, CAPTAIN?
A PENNY'S TOO MUCH.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
1,800 BLOODY ITALIANS LOCKED IN THE HOLD.
AND ALL THOSE SODDING POLISH LUMBERJACKS LOOKING AFTER THEM.
THEY WON'T MORE BREAD AND JAM.
NOT ONLY THAT, WE KNOW THE REASON THEY'RE HERE.
BALLAST FOR THE JOURNEY BACK.
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
THIS SHIP WAS CREATED FOR THE RICH, THE IDLE, PINK GINS, AND SUNSETS OVER SORRENTO, AND SO WAS I. SHALL WE GO FOR A WALK?
OH, WELL.
I SUPPOSE IT'S BETTER THAN A DINGHY FROM DOHA IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.
DO YOU THINK THEY'LL HAVE STAFF?
OH, MOTHER, IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE.
THOSE POOR BOYS.
LOOK, THERE'S ONE.
ONE WHAT?
BOXER.
TOUGH BASTARDS, THE POLES.
HEY!
LOOK.
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
I CAN ALWAYS TELL A BOXER, YOU KNOW.
JUST BY THE WAY THEY WALK, HOLD THEMSELVES.
AND HIT PEOPLE.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
HERE COMES THE CREAM.
YOU MIGHT CONSIDER YOUR LATE FATHER'S VIEWS ON FOREIGNERS, SARAH.
SHE'LL LOOK BACK, BILLY.
BET SHE WILL.
TOLD YOU.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN THE CAPTAIN, SIR?
TRAINED TOGETHER.
HE WAS MY BEST MAN.
I WAS HIS.
MY ANSWER TO YOUR NEXT QUESTION IS, YES.
HE'S A WARRIOR, A BOTHERER.
ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
IF HE WAS RELIGIOUS, HE'D NEVER BE OFF HIS KNEES.
[CHUCKLES] BUT IS HE LUCKY?
OH, NO.
GOOD GOD, NO.
I TAKE IT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR LAST SHIP.
BEST SAY YOUR PRAYERS.
[SIGHS] [MUSIC PLAYS, CROWD CHEERS] [SPEAKING GERMAN] [SPEAKING GERMAN] PRACTICE ROUND!

CAPTAIN BENJAMIN COUTTS AT YOUR SERVICE, SIR.
THOMAS MORTIMER, JUNIOR THIRD OFFICER.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HONESTLY?
I'VE SEEN WORSE PROTECTED SHIPS, BUT MAINLY IN BOOKS ON MILITARY HISTORY.
BASICALLY, YOUR GUNS ARE RATHER SIMILAR TO MY FATHER.
A RELIC OF THE GREAT WAR.
SIR, IT'S ME-- BACK ON DUTY, TOWNES.
NOW.
RIGHT NOW.
NO, I'VE GOT A TOOTHACHE, SIR.
IT'S ME WISDOM TOOTH.
UNLIKELY, TOWNES, IN YOUR CASE.
NO, I'VE GOT A-- NO, YOU HAVEN'T.
YOU HAVEN'T.
BACK ON THE GUNS NOW.
OKAY, LADS, JUMP ON.

SHE'S FIVE MONTHS OLD.
I LOVE CHILDREN, REALLY I DO.

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
SHE CERTAINLY HAS.
LAURA FERGUSON, BY THE WAY.
HILDA SMITH.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM, SIR.
I THINK YOU NEED TO COME WITH ME.
THERE THE ENEMY GO AGAIN, MORTIMER.
RIGHT THEN, HILDA SMITH.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?
NOW TELL ME, DO YOU PLAY CARDS AT ALL?

SNAP?
[VOICES] [MEN SHOUTING] [MEN SHOUTING] IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND.
WHAT ARE WE TO DO?
SIR, CAN YOU HELP ME?
CAN YOU HELP ME?
CAN'T HEAR YOU.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN] I AM VINCENZO DI GIOVANNI, AND AS YOU CAN TELL, IT IS THE GREAT FEAR OF THE MEN THAT WE ARE HERE, HELD CAPTIVE BENEATH THE WATERLINE BY THESE BRUTAL BASTARDS.
MANY OF OUR OWN MEN WORK BENEATH THE WATERLINE, TOO.
THERE'S NO ONE HERE CAN REALLY BE CALLED SAFE.
HA.
WELL DONE, MORTIMER.
PEACE IN OUR TIME, EH?
PLEASE, WE VOMIT AND WASH IN BUCKETS OF SEA WATER.
WE HAVE LESS PRIVACY THAN A PIG IN A PEN.
[MEN SHOUTING] I'M SURE SOMETHING CAN BE ARRANGED.
SOAP, WATER, FRESH AIR, TOO, ON A SHORT, BUT DAILY BASIS.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
I'LL REPORT YOUR OTHER COMPLAINTS TO THE CAPTAIN.
HEY, DO YOU KNOW BILLY HARDACRE, THE BOXER, LIEUTENANT?
YES, I DO.
EVERYBODY ON BOARD KNOWS BILLY HARDACRE.
HE WAS MY HERO.
I SAW HIM FIGHT, AND I AM A BOXER, TOO.
OH, REALLY?
[LAUGHS] [RUDZINSKI SPEAKING POLISH] [MEN LAUGH] WELL, THEN I'LL SEND HARDACRE DOWN AND YOU COULD TALK ABOUT BOXING, BRUTALITY, THAT SORT OF STUFF IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
HEY, WHAT ARE THEY COMPLAINING ABOUT?
NOTHING MUCH.
THE FOOD IS SHIT, THE POLES ARE BASTARDS, THE PENS ARE DISGUSTING, DANGEROUS AND OVERCROWDED.
FAIR ENOUGH.
YOU FIGHT?
I BOX.
I FIGHT.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING] I WOULDN'T!
I JUST FUCKING WOULDN'T.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING] [CHANTING] [CHEERING] [CHANTING] [CHEERING] [GAGS] [ALL LAUGH] THE ONLY QUESTION IS DO YOU TRUST ME?
THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION YOU HAVE TO ASK.
I TRUSTED YOU STRAIGHT AWAY.

WELL, I OFTEN DO.
IF IT'S ANY HELP, YOU SHOULD SEE MY SLOW WALTZ AFTER SEVERAL GIN AND TONICS.

[LAUGHS] THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL TOO ABOUT ELLA'S FATHER.
OH, HE MUST BE WONDERFUL.
HE WAS.
HE WAS A WONDERFUL MAN, BRAVE TO THE POINT OF FOOLISHNESS.
I'M SO SORRY, HILDA.
I THOUGHT... WELL, I WAS HOPING.

HE'S SEASICK, MADAM.
SEASICK, MY HIGHLAND ASS!
THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN BEATEN!
WELL, NOT BY ME, HE HASN'T.
I DON'T CARE IF HE'S THE BASTARD SON OF MUSSOLINI HIMSELF!
WE DO NOT BEHAVE IN SUCH A MANNER!
WE LEAVE THAT TO THE GERMANS!
NOW, WAIT, LOVE.
BEFORE YOU CARRY ON KICKING OFF ON ME, WHY DO YOU THINK I'M IN THE MERCHANT NAVY AND NOT DUCKIN' BULLETS SOMEWHERE, HMM?
IT'S BECAUSE I WON'T FIGHT ANYMORE.
AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM, ISN'T IT?
RIGHT.

MORTIMER!
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
JETTISON THE CONFIDENTIAL MAIL AND THE CODES!
BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, GO TO THE RADIO ROOM AND FIND OUT WHAT DISTRESS SIGNALS HAVE BEEN TRANSMITTED.
I KNOW, I KNOW, YOUR PATH MAY BE SOMEWHAT BLOCKED, BUT JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN.
[SIGHS] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT IS THAT?
WHAT IS THAT?
[CHUCKLES] [LAUGHTER] [SHOUTING] BEFORE YOU START, THIS ISN'T OUR FAULT, RIGHT?
THE MAINMAST'S FALLEN.
WIRELESS TRANSMITTER FALLEN WITH IT.
IT'S IN BITS ON THE DECK.
WE HAD NO CHANCE OF SENDING AN S.O.S.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HEARD.
WHAT ABOUT AN EMERGENCY SET?
WE'VE BEEN FLASHING SS SIGNALS SAYING WE'VE BEEN HIT, AND BADLY, TOO, WARNING OF SUBMARINES IN THE AREA.
WE ARE DOING OUR BEST, YOU KNOW.
I KNOW YOU ARE.
MORTIMER, WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO, WILL YOU TELL THE BRIDGE WE'D LIKE TO GO, TOO?
POOR BASTARD.
[GROANS] OH!
BACK THERE!
HEAD FOR STARBOARD!
YOU'LL STAND A BETTER CHANCE.
STAY ON STARBOARD!
STARBOARD IS THAT WAY!
SIR, HAVE YOU SEEN MY CHILDREN?
I'M AFRAID I HAVEN'T.
THEY'RE BLONDE, SIX AND-- I KNOW WHO THEY ARE, BUT I'M AFRAID I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM, ALL RIGHT?
AND THEN YOU PROCEED TO YOUR...YOUR "MUSTARD" STATION AND CREW MEMBERS WILL BE AT HAND TO...TO ASSIST.
[SHOUTING] ANTHONY?
CHARLOTTE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IF THEY'RE NOT HERE, THEY'LL BE IN A LIFEBOAT.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE HERE!
NO, I DON'T.
AAH!

[EXPLOSION] READY TO GO, SIR.
SHALL I CHUCK IT IN?
WE'RE FUCKED, AREN'T WE?
WE'VE HAD IT!
SHIP'S FUCKED, BUT WE'RE NOT.

OF COURSE THEY ARE.
SHALL I GO DOWN, SIR?
NO, YOU SHAN'T!
SHALL I MAN THE GUNS, SIR?
RIGHT, YOU.
STOP BEING A BLOODY HERO.
YOU'RE MAKING ME ILL. YOU'RE A YOUNG MAN STILL.

THE BASTARDS COULDN'T MISS IT.
I TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I?
MANY TIMES.
AND I TOLD YOU I'D START SMOKING AGAIN BEFORE THIS VOYAGE WAS OVER.
I KNEW I WOULD.
DON'T FORGET TO CUP YOUR HAND AROUND THE CIGARETTE.
DON'T WANT THE ENEMY TO SEE THE GLOW.
DO YOU GOT ENOUGH THERE?
OH, I THINK SO, SOMEHOW.
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT WAR IS SOMEHOW A GOOD THING SHOULD BE STOOD HERE TONIGHT, GEORGE.
AND WHAT'S MORE...
I'LL BELIEVE THAT TO MY DYING DAY.
I DON'T KNOW.
THIS WAR, FIGHTING THE THIRD REICH, HITLER, THE NAZIS.
IT'S A GOOD WAR.
IT'S A GOOD THING.
IT HAS TO BE.
BUT ONLY IF WE WIN IT.

NO ELLA?
NO.
NO ELLA.
OH.
YOU'LL HAVE TO BE BRAVE FOR ME NOW.
BRAVE.
YES.
I NEED YOU TO GO TO SCOTLAND TO FIND MY HUSBAND, TO TELL HIM WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE TO ME.
I'LL BORROW YOUR BRAVERY.
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO BE EVEN BRAVER IF YOU DO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

OH, HEY, GIRL.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR CAPTAIN OR ANY SENIOR OFFICERS ONBOARD?
HE SPOKE THAT IN ENGLISH.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
NO OFFICERS, BUT LADIES.
ENGLISH LADIES.

I WANT NOTHING FROM YOU.
YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN US FAR, FAR TOO MUCH.
SUCH BRAVERY IS HIGHLY COMMENDABLE, MADAM, BUT TOTALLY STUPID.
WE ARE 644 NAUTICAL MILES FROM THE COAST OF WEST AFRICA.
YES?
VINCENZO DI GIOVANNI, SIR.
THERE WERE 1,800 OF US, ITALIAN, BUT THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE.
AND FOR THAT, YOU CAN THANK THE POLISH AND SOME OF THE BRITISH, TOO.
THEY HAD GUNS AND THEY HAD OARS AND THEY BEAT US AND-- I THINK I GET THE POINT, YOUNG MAN.
REALLY, I DO.
THIS IS VERY KIND OF YOU, CAPTAIN.
