All language subtitles for The Long Voyage Home (1940)

Twenty-six thousand prisoners were
taken, as well as inestimable booty.

By scoring several
hits, our artillery...

... a loaded transport which was
about to sail to return to harbor.

Another ship exploded under the
fire of German anti-tank guns.

... State Department in a statement
containing the Secretary's comment...

- Captain.
- Yes.

... unofficial reports that extensive
bombing in Chungking had been received.

Anyone left the ship, Donkeyman?

Not as I seen, sir.

- New man?
- Yes, sir.

Smith, signed on at Cape Town.

- Check him onboard.
- Yes, sir.

That crazy light don't work, sir.

So why didn't you report
it when the lights went out?

All right, Mister. Check
everyone in the fo'c's'le.

Swanson here. McDonald?

What? Oh. Oh, here, sir.

Bergman.

Here.

Davis. Davis!

I'm here.

- In here...
- What is it? What's going on?

What are you doing here, steward?

Just turned in for
a wink of sleep, sir.

- You're a mighty quick sleeper?
- Yes, sir. Always was...

- Oh, tick him off.
- Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Do you always sleep
with your clothes on?

It's my privilege.

That fellow belong to me.

- Who's missing?
- Driscoll, sir. Bunk's empty.

- Where is he, Swanson?
- Drisk?

Why... Huh.

He was here just a
little while ago, sir.

He went to sleep, I suppose,
up on fo'c's'le head.

I go find him, tell
him you want him, huh?

Stay where you are.

I know that you men have been
grumbling about shore leave.

When I found the native police
had picked up a seaman ashore,

I guessed it was Driscoll.

Me, sir?

- Did I hear my name, sir?
- Where have you been?

I've been having a bit of a
nap on the fo'c's'le head, sir.

Oh, it's a grand evening to
be taking a few winks on deck.

With that sun coming over the
water, sir, I was dreaming...

Never mind about that. Let's
have a look at your hands.

The other one.

The back of it, man.

There's a native policeman
ashore with a broken jaw.

No skin broken, sir.

Well, I'm glad for once it's
someone from another ship.

- Kransky.
- Here.

- Hansen.
- Here.

- Geary?
- Here.

- Rido.
- Here.

What happened, Drisk?

Dawson put up a bit of a fight. Ole.

I'm sneaking back to the boat
when two of them native police

with their white caps
and their brass buttons

step out and ask for my pass.

-There's a war on,- says they,
-and you're not a neutral.-

I never was a...

I never was a neutral in all my life.

- Well, one word led to another.
- What about the ladies?

The ladies will be aboard any minute
now with huge, big baskets of fruit.

Fruit?

Hey, what about the booze?

Under the fruit, there'll be a bottle
or two like this for each one of you.

- By jingo, we get drunk!
- Shut up, you square-head.

Yeah, shut up.

Would you have the Mate after us?

Well, I hope you enjoyed it.

I did.

There you are.

There's a bumboat coming
along the side, sir...

- Right, let them aboard.
- Pardon, sir?

- Let them aboard.
- Yes, sir.

I suppose you're wondering
why I'm relaxing discipline.

Why, no, sir. It's
none of my business.

I thought the First
had told you the orders.

They said the ship was being ordered to
the United States, sir, to pick up cargo.

- They tell you what the cargo is gonna be?
- No, sir.

It's ammunition, Mister.

Yes, sir.

Come on. Get them up.

Hey, get back there.

Come on. Get them up there.

Driscoll!

You're in charge of this
party. And no rough stuff.

No, sir.

- You women bring booze?
- Where's the liquor?

Hold your horses, ape!

Is it trouble you're after?

Quiet! All right. All right.

You want the Mate down on our
necks to spoil all the fun?

Into the fo'c's'le with them. Go
along now. Come on. Get out of here.

Take them in, fellows. Go on,
fellows. Move along. Shake a leg.

Hey, he's cheating!

You make so much noise, mister.

Good evening.

You buy from me?

Have you anything to drink?

Thanks.

Thanks. Thank you very much.

Smitty.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

Drink?

I've done my share of
drinking in my time.

Doctor told me I'd have
stop it or die, so I stops.

What's troubling you, Smitty?

That singing on the
shore getting your nerves?

If I didn't know we
were in the West Indies,

I'd imagine we were anchored
off some island of the dead.

The ghosts are wailing, Donkeyman.

Natives is queer.

I've known them to keep on
singing like that all night long.

I used to worry a lot about
dying. I don't no more.

Take that singing now.

Sounds kind of nice
and sleepy-like to me.

Sleepy? If I listen to it much
longer sober, I'd never get to sleep.

What's bothering you, Smitty?

Oh, memories, Donkeyman.

Best thing to do with
memories is forget them.

Suppose you couldn't forget them?

I'd get drunk, same as you're doing.

Whatever set you going to
sea on an old tramp like this?

I suppose there's a woman
mixed up in it, ain't there?

- There she is.
- Oh, here you are, honey!

You come back!

There's love for you, Smitty.

No memories joined with that.

Every time we get near the land,
you get that look on your face.

When a man goes to sea,

he ought to give up thinking
about things on shore.

Land don't want him no more.

I've had my share
of things gone wrong,

and all come from the land.

Now I'm through with the land,
and the land's through with me.

Too smoky in fo'c's'le. Jiminy!

There's a chap who
doesn't worry about it.

He's going back to the land
at the end of this voyage.

Olsen? He'll never get home.

Three times I've seen him paid off.

And it's always one drink
with the boys and then...

After this trip, he'll stop trying.

Yes, I dare say you're right.

You're different from the rest of us.

Something on land has
still got a hold on you.

It's you ought to be going home.

You leave me out of it, Donkeyman.

Who's going to leave you out of
it when we get back to England?

I'm not going back.

- The ship is.
- But I'm not.

You mean you're going to desert?

Mind your own business, Donkeyman.

Play us a tune, you lug!

An Irish tune!

Hey, Ed. Want a drink?

Yeah, thanks.

Say, isn't it great? We're
gonna booze it on up with a...

You no dance, senor?

I no like these men.

I like you.

Dance with me, querido.

I be your girl.

Dance with...

I don't dance.

Oh, Smitty. Smitty, you dog.

Gee, I almost popped you. You and
me is friends, Smitty, ain't we?

- Right you are, Yank.
- Ain't we? Sure.

Any pal of mine can have
anything I got, Smitty. Anything.

And she's a good-looker, ain't
she, Smitty, huh? Ain't she?

Come on, honey.

Boy, she's got a lot of fire, too,
huh? Here, have a drink. Go on. Go on.

Hey, baby, wait minute.

You done that on
purpose, you hairy ape.

Who you calling a hairy ape?

You!

You're a cold punching swab.

Well, did you see him?

What I want to know is,
are we all friends or not?

- Why, sure we're friends.
- There now, have a drink.

- I will.
- God bless you.

Hey! Come on deck!

Seamen and firemen fighting, sir.

What's going on here?

They were, all of them, having
a bit of a harmless fight, sir.

Knife wound to the shoulder, sir.

- Who knifed him?
- I don't know, sir.

It's only a scratch,

hit his head on the deck when he fell.

Take him aft. I'll bandage him up.

Look at this, sir.

So that's the trouble, Driscoll.

Take him aft.

- You'll get no money for this last work.
- But...

I'll teach you to smuggle rum
on a ship and start a riot.

But senor Capitan.

You know the agreement. Rum, no money.

We bring no rum. I
no lie to you, senor.

These sailors, they bring the rum.

- We bring no rum.
- You're lying!

Clear out! Your boat's
alongside. Get along.

None of your lip, or I'll put
you ashore and have you locked up.

Hop it.

Go on. Hop it. Come on. Move 'em on!

Come on, ladies. Come on.

Mate say we sail at sunrise.

For England.

American port first for
cargo, then we go home.

Then I go home.

Time to turn in, Smitty.

Hello, Captain. How are you?
That's your ship? That's good.

I can just see Ole behind that plow.

Ole be putting a rudder
on the horse's tail

and a compass on the plow,

so that he'll not be digging
potatoes when it's turnips he's after.

Hey, Ole, show us how you
used to call them pigs.

If I was a swine, I'd be running the
other way after that devilin' screech.

You won't go home. You'll get drunk.

The only way you'll see that
farm is through a bottle.

You stop that.

Stop what, square-head?

You don't make a fool of Ole.

He's going home. By
devil, you've got no home.

I got no home. None of
us got a home but Ole.

And if you stop him, I fight you.

You go home, Ole.

Your mother is old. Where's my hat?

She needs you. She wants you.
You don't go anymore on sailing.

That's no good, Ole. That's no good.

You go home to your mother.

She's old, and she needs you.

Yeah, I go home.

You go home.

And here are your instructions
for the stowage of high explosives.

- High explosives.
- Are your cargo holds quite dry?

Oh, yes.

I'm not worried about
keeping the cargo dry,

but about getting
through the war zone.

We haven't enough speed
to run away from a rowboat.

Not even a machine gun
to make a fight of it.

If anything hits us below the
waterline, we'd go up like a kite.

Nevertheless,

every ship that gets to England
is helping to win the war.

And every officer and man in the
merchant marine is doing his bit.

- Unsung heroes...
- Is this when you want us to sail?

Oh, yes. Time is very
important, you know.

Is it?

Unsung heroes.

Like a curse!

Hey, Yank. Drisk.

Come here.

- Hey. Hey, did you know about this?
- What are you talking about?

I was wondering what all
them blooming uniformed guards

were hanging around for.

- That explains it.
- TNT.

TNT, it's high explosives.

It's the same thing, isn't it?

It's worse. It's ammunition.

- By jiminy Christmas.
- The devil with it.

Load up an old hooker like
this full of that blooming stuff

and what is she? Just a bomb!

A great, big dynamite bomb!

I quit!

Well, we're all
quitting, I'm thinking.

I'm through.

Captain wants you out,
men. Everybody out.

Sir, what's the meaning of this?

Captain will answer your questions.

But we didn't sign on for the kind...

- Okay, hop it. He's waiting.
- Well, so are we.

All right, let the old
man himself explain...

By devil, I quit!

I ain't gonna sign
on this old tub again.

As far as this job's concerned,
you men haven't got any names.

You're just so many hands,

just as I am a boss to see
this cargo gets to England.

If it doesn't get there,
it'll be missed, but we won't.

Now I know it's the usual thing
for the fo'c's'le hands to grouse.

So if anybody's got any
objection to what I've said,

well, step forward. Let's hear it.

Right. Well from now on till
you're paid off in London,

you get 25- bonus on your wages.

There's one thing more.

Owing to circumstances over
which I've got no control,

nobody is allowed to leave the ship.

May I ask, sir, why are
we deprived of shore leave?

For your own safety.

I don't want the cargo
talked about ashore.

I think I can be trusted, sir.

When you're drunk?

I maintain, sir, that we're entitled
to one night ashore before sailing.

Yeah, I maintain you've
said enough, Smith.

I'm as interested in the welfare
of my ship's crew as you are.

No more of your lip.

Go on. Back to your work.

Roust out, Cocky.

Can't you let a man sleep?

What about the rest of us?
The old man wants his coffee.

That means he's going to the bridge.
And that means we're gonna sail.

Shake a leg!

Can't let a man sleep.

I'll expose him.

Coffee!

- Well, Captain, goodbye and good luck.
- Goodbye, thank you.

Are you quite sure
you won't want a pilot?

No, no pilot.

- Well, bon voyage.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

All clear!

- He came off the Glencairn.
- Let's take him aboard!

On your feet!

Take it away!

One of your men, isn't he, mate?

Yes. Get aboard, Smith!

Get aboard. Take it away!

Good night, Drisk.

Good night, Donkeyman.
Sweet dreams, too.

Full speed ahead, Mister.

Alter course.

East by north. Half knot.

East by north. Half knot.

Stop that noise!

You square-headed ape.

He was playing soft, Drisk.

Slow her down a few turns.

By golly, I would hate to be on
this old tub in rough weather.

Hey, Cocky. Hurry up that Scotch.

Come on! Let's shake a leg!

Come on, Old Murphy.
I'll help you. Come on.

Boys, coming... There you
are. Now, there you are.

Them sea biscuits would
break the tooth of a lion

if he had the
misfortune of biting one.

Nothing but scarf upon these rusty...

Swill, that's right.

It's a starvation ship. My last trip!

Plenty of work and nothing to eat.

And the owners riding
around in carriages.

I think it's that blasted cook.

Fresh meat for the officers and
hash for the men. That's his notion.

Hash, hash! Stew, stew!

Marmalade, by jiminy!

We hit something?

It was the anchor.

The anchor's broke loose!

- Contact...
- Yank!

Mr. Graves?

Steady kid.

Let me... Let me lie down.

I need to lie down.

Excuse me, sir,

but the men in the fo'c's'le are asking if
you'll take another look at the sick man.

Is he worse?

He's spitting blood again, sir.
Can you do anything for him, sir?

Well, as far as I can make out,

those splintered ribs
have punctured his lung.

Can you do anything
about that, Mister?

- Why, no, sir.
- No, neither can I,

and I don't think I'm fooling
anybody, pretending to be a doctor.

Damn! If it had only happened a
week later, we might have made port.

As it is...

All right, Mister. When you
leave, first tell him to come here.

I'll go forward and see what I can do.

Yes, sir.

A book and a box of physic!

Suffering Moses! It's
colder than kittens up there.

How's Yank, Drisk?

- Your wheel, Scotty.
- Aye.

Who's watching lookout?

Me and Drisk.

Oh, it's nothing but dirty
weather this whole voyage.

Are you feeling better now, Yank?

You look better. Much better.

Am I telling him a lie?

- Sleep done you good, Yank.
- Sure it has.

In no time at all now,

you'll be having a pint a
beer with us in Limehouse.

What are you all lying for?

You think I'm afraid?

You think I'm scared?

Don't you be thinking such thoughts.

Don't be leaving me, Drisk.

- Ole?
- Here, Yank.

Don't leave me.

I'm dying, I tell you.

I won't stay here alone.

I'll go out on deck.

There, there, now.

Don't you be worrying, Yank!

I'll not stir a step out of here,

and let that devil of a man
curse his black head off.

I take your watch, Ole.

Get me some water. Quick.

Here, here you are, lad.

There you are.

He's just up and having
a fainting spell, sir.

Isn't this your watch, Driscoll?

Yes, sir, but Yank was
fearing to be alone and...

- Well, that's all right, Driscoll.
- Thank you, sir.

Did he take the medicine I sent?

Yes, sir, but it wouldn't stay down.

I'm afraid he's very weak.

Please, sir. Find
some way to help him.

My good man, I'm not a doctor.

You and him been shipmates
a long time, haven't you?

Yes, sir.

Well, keep him quiet, and
we'll hope for the best.

I'll raid the med room
and send some medicine,

something to ease the pain anyhow.

You'll be up tomorrow. We'll
pull you through, all right.

Well, keep your courage
up. Coming, Mister?

Didn't I tell you?

Sure the Captain will have you on deck
chipping rust before the week is out.

Don't lie, Drisk.

I'm gonna die. The sooner, the better.

Oh, by the Holy, you lad. I'll
not let you. I'll not let you.

Give me a drink of water.

My throat's burning up.

How's Yank?

It's asleep, he is.

No, I ain't, Drisk.

I was just dreaming.

I thought I was way
in the middle of land,

where you could never smell
the sea or look at a ship.

Prop me up a little, will you?

So I can breathe.

Thanks.

Where's Ole?

Ole?

Here, Yank.

This ain't no life, Ole.

If you don't leave it
this trip, you never will.

Sure. We'll both put him on his
way home soon as we're all paid off.

Remember the times we've
had in Buenos Aires?

- That dance hall in Barracas. Remember?
- I do indeed.

Yeah.

And the stink of the
hides in La Plata.

Give me a puff, Drisk.

Remember the night I
went crazy with the heat

in Singapore?

And the time we both got locked up
for fighting in Sydney. I do indeed.

That fight on the dock in Cape Town.

I can see his face in front of me.

That guy that I...

Let you not be thinking of that
now. That's done and gone and forgot.

It was done in fair fight.

In self-defense, wasn't it?

- Wasn't it, Drisk?
- Indeed it was.

Didn't he try to stab you in
the back and you not suspecting?

I wish I had no
blackened deed on my soul.

Where's all that fog
coming from, Drisk?

Fog?

How'd it get in here?

Of course, lad, it's...

It's just coming in the alleyway.

That's funny.

I thought I could hear
the wind blowing outside.

Yank, lad,

I never asked you,

but have you no relations at
all that you could call your own?

Drisk.

- Drisk?
- Yes, Yank?

Remember that little barmaid

in the Red Stork in Cardiff?

She was a good kid.

Swell kid.

Lent me dough when I was broke.

Buy her something to...

Give me a drink.

Yank?

Yank, speak to me, lad.

Yank!

Captain sent this medicine for Yank.

He say it would take away
his pain where he's hurting.

Yank's gone?

-Before the light of God.-

-He that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live.

-Our Lord Jesus Christ,
our glorious majesty.

-The seas will give up her dead...-

Thank you, sir.

There's your coffee, Scotty,
if you can call it coffee.

What are you doing?

I just paint windows, Drisk.

Have I no eyes in
the front of my head?

Mate's orders, Drisk.

We show no lights. With the
submarines lying about...

You mean, we're in the war zone?

We'll be tonight. I heard
the old man tell the Second.

Wouldn't you think that leg
of a Mate would pass the word?

They ain't pasting up no bulletins
to let the crew know anything.

I don't like this much.

The lifeboats are ready, ain't they?

Sure, lower them in a second.

Next time I ship on windjammer,
Boston to River Plate,

loaded with wood only
so she float, by golly!

Well, I'm... Lord!

They're not half
smart, them blighters.

What are you buzzing about?

It's written down here in
print, or I wouldn't believe it.

It's a true confession.

Confession of what, man?

The fifth column.

Fifth column?

It tells here how a German spy
in Paris was writing messages

to a woman spy in Switzerland,

who sent them on to Berlin, Germany.

That's nothing.

Nothing, is it? Wait till
you hear how they done it.

To read their messages, you
wouldn't suspect anything, see.

A lot of mush.

The fellows in the War
Office that opens them

thinks they're nothing but love
letters, you see? But they have a code.

What do you mean, code?

What do I mean? I'll
tell you what I mean.

They have a piece of paper with a
lot of little holes cut out in it,

and when they put it
on top of the letters,

they see only the words that
tell them what they want to know.

And the Frenchmen get beaten up
for it all on account of one letter.

That's bad.

The conniving, murdering,
tricking... That's the truth.

Here, you can read it for yourself.

No, no, you keep it.

That code, that's no good, by devil!

Come on, Scotty, or the Mate will be
down on our necks. Your wheel, ain't it?

Aye.

Shocking! Outrageous! Preposterous!

Hash, stew, marmalade,

submarines.

Codes, by devil!

East by north. Three quarters north.

East by north. Three quarter north.

Do you smell the land, Smitty?

Aye, a day and a night now.

Don't let it trouble you,
Smitty. Crew don't let on.

But they're always kind of nervous when
they get into the war zone first time.

Thanks for the compliment, Donkeyman.

I hope you won't tell anyone
you saw me shaking with fear.

- Oh, I didn't mean...
- Haven't you ever needed a drink?

Haven't you felt every nerve
in your body demanding whiskey?

Haven't you felt like screaming because...
Oh, what's the use of talking about it?

You don't know what I mean.

Indeed, indeed I do.

Look, take my advice.
Don't leave the ship.

I'm staying onboard.
You won't be alone.

Couple of days in port, and
then away to sea again. Why not?

What's it going to be, Smitty?

One big drunk or more memories?

No, I'm gonna enlist.

Good. Navy needs you.

Navy?

No, I'm going in the
army if they'll have me.

Skipper wanted his binoculars.
Must've left them in the chart room.

-International Code of
Signals, British Edition.-

Why aren't you up
there where you belong?

I see lights from ship.

Right there. First, I think
she's submarine, by golly.

I don't see nothing.

She wink on. She wink off.
Then she wink away. I see it.

Someone is making signals.

No, you're looney.

No, by devil, I see light.

All right, all right. Get up on the
topside before the Mate sees you.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Nearly eight bells,
Scotty. Rise and shine, Ole.

Come on, you guys. Shake
a leg. Get out of there.

- Fog still thick?
- Sure, cut it with a knife.

Bloody hate the fog, unless
you can hear the foghorn.

Well, what do you wanna do,
Cocky? Whistle up a few submarines?

Blasted U-boats. I hope the
British navy sinks them all.

Not only the submarines we have
to fear, that's what I'm thinking.

Oh, you don't have to worry
about mines as far out as this.

I wasn't thinking of mines either.

Your wheel, Ole?

My lookout.

- Ain't it your deck watch?
- Yes, yes. Surely.

- I can't figure that guy out.
- No, no one has.

Watch that light!

Sorry, Drisk.

- Do you know what I caught him doing?
- What?

Going through the
old man's code books.

Nah! Smitty, good fellow.

Wanna get square-headed...

Wait till you hear what I seen.

Ole, I see light.

She wink on. She wink
off. Then she wink away.

- Sure, Axel.
- Yeah.

Hit the bunk!

Taking a gander at the chart.

I think the ship's not safe with the
fellow. I think I'll sleep outside on deck.

I tell you, I see that light. She wink
on. She wink off. Just like wigwag.

And that's another thing.
How did I forget that?

I thought the square-head was seeing
things. Maybe he ain't so dopey after all.

I'm coming along the deck,
see, with a coffee pot when...

Curse that fog!

Curse him thick!

Who's the lug put his cup
where a man'd sit on it.

Smitty.

He think he's such a fine gentleman

that he can't put his own away
the same as the rest of us?

- He use for get dressed, Smitty,
all right? - All right, is he?

Of course he's all right!

Can't you keep your tempers?
It's this blasted fog.

The thought you might be blown
to smithereens any minute.

It's my last trip through
the zone, so it is.

Devil take them and their 25% bonus.

Be caught like a rat in the
trap in the bargain maybe.

- So you think the Duke's all right?
- Now look here, my boy...

Look, there it is. That's it.

Are you all crazy?

The light. That's where it
comes from. What'd I tell you?

Hey! You're showing
the lights, you lug.

- Who left that open?
- Smitty.

Who has done it if Smitty didn't?
It's over his bunk, isn't it?

She wink on. She wink
off. Just like wigwag.

Hey, what's going on
here behind my back?

That's what we're trying
to tell you, Drisk.

Maybe you won't be thinking so
much of the Duke when you hear it.

All right, all right. Out with it.

Stop winking and nodding and
making a mystery of things.

Keep your eye on the door.

- Sing out if you see Smitty coming.
- Yeah.

I see him in the chart room,
getting a fix on our course.

I caught him in the Captain's
cabin, pouring over the code book,

the International Code book.

Easy-peasy.

Take it easy, Drisk.

Shut up.

By jiminy! By devil!

Are you gonna have it out on deck?

Why should we stay here
and be blown to bits?

Are you frightened, you toad?

Well, it's a fine thing
when full grown men

shiver like children at the
sight of a little black box.

Still, it's a devilish
thing, the look of it.

"A bit of a black box," you call it?

How big do you think it has to
be? As big as this fo'c's'le?

It looks bad, so it does.

There's only one consolement.

The traitor's English.

Who says he's English?

Haven't you read how
all them German spies

has been living for years in London

and talks the King's
English, as good as I do.

He talks English too
good. That's what I mean.

That's right.

I never met a swell that
talked the way he does.

Now, listen, Drisk,

was he ever open with
us like a good shipmate?

No, he always keeps to himself
like he was hiding something.

And the name he calls himself, Smith.

I'll bet a buck on my next payday
that his real name is Schmidt.

Schmidt.

By devil, Schmidt!

Devil take me if I don't
think you have the truth of it.

I wish he didn't come back after
he jumped ship in United States.

Jumped ship. Jumped ship!

He was passing the word
to some German bloke

about the ammunition we're carrying.

I'll lay odds he was trying to sneak
in onboard when they nabbed him.

Well, I never was afraid
of anything or anyone.

- Don't monkey with it.
- Let's see face to face.

- Now get out of here!
- Careful, Drisk.

- Get that bucket of water.
- What are you gonna do with it, Drisk?

I'll show you what I'll do
with this Devil's machinery.

The devil's got you
hot as a clam bake?

You guys keep out of this. Stand back.

- Good work, Drisk.
- Now, she don't blow up, by golly.

- What do you mean "blow up"?
- You pipe down.

Now, let's find this blaggart.

They hang spies on shore, don't they?

Over the side with him, and
one man missing in the morning.

He'll go over the side, all right, but
not till after he's had a fair trial.

Ain't you seen enough, Drisk?

If Yank, God rest his soul, was here,
he'd agree with me. Johnny. Davis.

I found it.

We found it under his bunk.
Yeah, under his mattress.

- There's a bomb in there.
- I knew. I knew that fellow.

Here, just what's...

If this is your idea of a joke...

We'll show you how much of a joke
it is before we're through with you.

If you'll be good enough to explain...

It's you who'll do the
explaining, my fine gentleman.

Look at it, you dirty swine.

- Look at it!
- What is it?

Thought you wasn't
half a fox, didn't you?

It's mine. What are you
doing with my things?

What's in it? Would you
tell us to our faces?

- That's my business.
- Well, we're making it our business.

Get his keys. See if he
has one that'll open it.

Don't you open that, Driscoll.

If you do, so help me, I'll
kill you if I hang for it.

I am not the one to be
killed. I'm no dirty spy.

- Spy?
- We're on to your tricks.

Hiding this box under your mattress

so you could sneak out
later and put it in the hall.

What are you talking about,
you fool? I only put it there

so that I could get it quick in case
we were torpedoed. You must be insane!

Keep your mouth shut!

What are you talking about?
Let me get out of this...

- Wait.
- Get back there, you lot!

Stand back, you hairy ape!

It's...

It's nothing but a packet of letters.

Letters, what did I tell you?

That's why he was going
through the code book.

Letters are worse
than bombs sometimes.

Where else would spies
get their orders from

if it wasn't from letters?

What orders would he be
getting, do you suppose?

Open it and find out.

The name written here is,

-Thomas Fenwick.-

That's no more his name than Smith.

Schmidt, that's this guy's real tag.

You don't suppose he'd be
using his own name, do you?

It's a foreign postmark
by the looks of it.

Look at the stamp.

B-E-R...

Berlin! I knew them
letters was from Germany.

Berlin, by devil!

Read it, Drisk.

I'm not much of a hand at reading,

but it begins, -Tom, darling.-

-Tom, darling-?

- Read it out louder.
- Yeah, out loud.

Tom, darling,

Clive said he'd seen you at Gibraltar

before you sailed for Malta.

It wasn't anything he said,
but his manners seemed queer,

and I was terribly uneasy

until your letter arrived.

There is only one
thing, Tom, darling,

can wreck our lives,

-and that is this black shadow.-

- Black shadow?
- Code word.

Sure, go on. Go on.

-Whenever you're tempted, dearest man,

-think of those who love you.

-Of Tommy and Betsy

-and of your own Elizabeth.-

- Elizabeth?
- That's how it's signed.

- Queer.
- What does it mean then?

By the Holy, here's one
addressed to this ship.

- Read it.
-S. S. Glencairn.-

That was five months
ago in Montevideo.

The writing's bad in this one.

Same hand, only a little shaky.

Tom, darling,

it's only from your
chance meeting with Harry

that I know where to reach you.

I know now that you hadn't stopped

drinking.

That you couldn't stop.

That you lied about it.

But I know you lied to
give me peace of mind.

Always hoping you could fight it out

and make it come true.

My heart broke at the
thought of your trial,

and I nearly died when
your letter finally came

like a note from the grave

telling me that, for my own sake,

you would never return to England.

Dear, dear man,

loss of a commission
is not loss of life.

There is no disgrace we
can't go through together.

I refuse to tell the
children, as you asked,

that their father is dead.

He'll never be dead to
me because I love him.

Oh, Tom.

Tom, you must come back to us.

Elizabeth.

His Majesty, the King,

has been graciously
pleased to authorize

the issue of the...

What the devil am I reading that for?

Get the hell out of
here, you black lugs!

- Swine!
- By devil!

Go on. Get yourselves a wink of sleep.

All's well, Smitty?

All's well, Ole.

Ole? Axel?

Yeah?

Do you not smell the land?

The sweet smell of Ireland.

The fields and the forests,

the green hills.

But that's England that way.

Did I ask you?

Make anything of it, Mister?

They're flying above the clouds.

I suppose it must be our
lads coming in for patrol.

Machine guns, bombs, bullets!

Hash, you marmalade!

By devil, I quit!

Quick! Hide! Quick! You...

Number Two lifeboat.

Give me a hand to lower this
lifeboat. Clear the shocks.

Sure, Smitty.

Veer your ship. Break your
course, man. Break your course.

Mrs. Fenwick.

Well, Smitty got home.

He's gone.

Gone.

Smitty's gone.

There you are, the last penny.

Put your mark there.

He can write, Mister.

Wanna sign up for the
next voyage, Olsen?

No, sir. I go home this time.

- Thank you.
- Is that all?

Aloysius Driscoll.

Aloysius Driscoll.

I know you men will want another
berth when you've spent your money.

So if anybody wants to sign on for
the next voyage before you go ashore,

you can do so now. So speak up.

Right. That's all.

I'm signing on, sir.

All right.

They'll be back, all right.

All except Olsen, sir.

Olsen.

Well, we'll see.

Come on now, lads. Shake a leg. It's
the last I wanna see of this rusty...

There, by golly, you don't spend
that money. That's for farm.

Ole!

Come on! Hurry up!

- Come on!
- Come on!

The first thing we do
is put Ole on his boat.

- But first, we go to the ticket office.
- Ticket office!

Ticket office is the word, and I'll show you
the way, and then we'll go to Joe's Place.

And after that, we...

Who the devil are you,
you little pish-posh?

Nick is the name, shipmate.

Nick is the name, mates, and
I'm glad to meet you one and all.

Now this here is a card for Joe's
Place. Lovely dancing girls, bow-wow,

no chance of being robbed,
and the best drinks in town.

Drinks?

There'll be no drinks till
we put Ole on his boat!

That's right, Drisk.

You're making a mistake, shipmates!
Best spot in town for a drink.

Nice girls to dance with...

Any of you shellbacks
looking for a berth?

What ship is that?

Amindra.

Sailing tonight for Valparaiso.
We need another seaman.

The Amindra. The Amindra!

A starvation tub, if ever I saw one.

Rotten grub, work night and day,

and your skull split open
if you open your mouth!

No wonder you can't get
no crew, you bluenose...

- Sling your hook!
- Stay away from me, I'm warning you.

Come on, Drisk!

I'll catch up with you one of
these days, you bluenose blaggart!

Amindra. Amindra.

Svensk Engelsk. Yeah, that's it.

In you go, Ole. In you
go, and buy your ticket.

Well, now, that's settled.

There's Ole's ticket!

Here, I take Ole's ticket.

By golly!

There, you got money for farm,
and stick ticket for Stockholm,

and you don't lose.

Now, you're all right!

And now, lads, we've got
a little time on our hands.

Time, mates? The pilot's
aboard, yo-heave-ho!

Anchor's away, and we'll
steer a course for Joe's Place.

And just to show that my
heart's in the right place,

I'll tell you what I'll do, mates.
I'll stand a drink all round.

Drink! Preposterous!

There'll be no drink till
that one's safe aboard.

That's the gospel truth.

Of course, a glass of beer maybe

to wish Ole on his way.

And drink a toast to Smitty.

And Yank.

Smitty and Yank.

Yeah, Yank...

That's a grand idea.

You know, mate,

when I seen you chaps coming
ashore, my heart was touched,

thinking of the way our sailor
lads is suffering these days.

Hearts of oak, I said.

Axel!

Sing us another one.

By golly, that's good
beer! You want a drink?

Ole, good luck to you!

Ole!

One glass of beer.

- The boat!
- The boat!

The boat! The boat!

- The boat!
- Wish! Wish! With a wish!

Do you hear it? Do you
hear what they're playing?

Tipperary.

But it's a grand night to be
whirling about in some fine...

Yeah, but don't you...

One dance! Just one dance!

Come on. Come on.

Sorry, you civilians can't go in there.
That's for these lads going off to war.

Going off to war!

Is there any place on land
or sea where there is no war?

That's it. Move along. Get off
the street. Get inside somewhere.

Best place to be during a blackout.

Blackout. Blackout. Blackout.

Blackout.

Everywhere people
stumbling in the dark.

Is there to be no more
light in the world?

Is there no place in this dark land

where a man who's drunk can
find a decent bit of fun?

What have I been telling
you all evening, mate?

Don't let them get your egg out.
Come on with me to Joe's Place.

Lots of lovely girls

and no blooming copper telling you
what you can do or what you can't do.

Devil take me, but I
remember this place.

Ship ahoy, me hearties! Happy to
see you home again safe and sound.

Ship ahoy.

Ship ahoy, is it?

So it's you, you blaggart!

Five, six years ago,

I was robbed of my last bob
in this place in me sleeping.

Devil stiffen you!

If you come any of your tricks
over me this time, I'll...

You're mistaken, mate. This
is an honest place, this is.

Oh, yes, and you're a
blushing angel, I suppose.

Well, no matter. It's
past and gone forgot.

I'm not a man to be holding hard
feelings my first night ashore.

- And me drunk as a log.
- Quite right. You've got my vote.

What's it gonna be? What's your
pleasure? What'll it be? What's...

- Irish whiskey!
- Same here.

Come on! Cut it out, will you?

Axel, my ticket! Where's my ticket?

In your coat, lad. In
your coat. There it is.

Large as life.

You couldn't lose that
without losing the coat itself.

Well, we go soon, Drisk. I don't
wanna miss boat to Stockholm.

Sure, lad, and fine shipmates we'd
be if we didn't see you on your way,

but you've ladles of time!

- Sure!
- Quiet down!

Aye, I'll treat you a toast, lads!

May the devil burn that
black Scot of a Mate.

- Yeah! I'll drink to that!
- What will you have, mate?

He'll have a pint of beer. And
you know who'll pay for it? I will.

Now, it won't do you the
least bit of harm, mate.

Why, you're the strongest
in the whole lot.

Here, stand up. Come on. Don't
be afraid. Come on. Up. Stand up.

There you are. That's the kind of fo'c's'le
on hand that skippers is looking for.

He'll have just a pint
of beer, Joe, on me.

No, he won't have a pint on you!

He won't have a pint on
anybody! You stop talk like that!

Oh, I just take one.

Ole, hold that.

All right.

You just take one
drink, and I hurt you!

I agree with the
square-head. Nothing for Ole.

All right, I just take ginger beer.

- What?
- He say ginger beer.

He wants ginger beer!

- Ginger beer!
- Oh, ginger beer.

What devils...

Well, I was just telling Joe the ladies
is coming over to have a drink with you.

And what lovely, what
beautiful, what seductivity.

Ladies, if I may?

Hello, mates.

Ship ahoy!

Provocative! Tantalizing.

Have a good voyage?

A rotten voyage, but never mind that.

My name's Freda. Hers
is Kate. Hers is Meg.

You're welcome, as the saying is.

Are you gonna buy us a whit?

I like them fat!

Come on, square-head. Play
us a tune, an Irish tune.

Would you care to dance?

No, I go now.

Where you going?

Goodbye, Axel.

I'll think you don't like
me if you don't come back.

Well, you is wrong. I do like you.

Why won't you come back then?

Won't you come in and
have a pint with me?

I go home. I catch boat.

Well, you don't wanna go without a
sweetheart to say goodbye to, do you?

Please.

All right, I just take a ginger beer.

Won't you sit down? Over here.

All right, shipmates,
come on out the back room.

Everything is free and easy there,

and we got a lovely gramophone,
and the cops can't hear us. Come on.

Now tell me something about
yourself. Where was you born?

- In Norway?
- No.

- Denmark.
- No.

- Then it must be Sweden.
- Ja.

Ain't that funny? I
was born there, too.

- Where, Miss Freda?
- In Sweden.

- Do you speak Swedish?
- Oh, no.

You see, my old man and
woman come here to England

when I was only a baby.
I'm an orphan, you know.

And they was speaking English
before I was old enough to learn.

So I never knew
Swedish. I wished I had.

No place like your home, I says.

Ja.

I leave home when I was kid.
Now, I don't leave no more.

I got all the sea I
want for my whole life.

What did you do before
you was a sailor?

I work on farm till I'm 16.

And we lived... My
mother and brother live.

My father is dead.

We live on farm just little
way outside Stockholm.

I got plenty money now.

Sewn in pocket. Two years' pay.

How clever.

You'll be getting married, too,
I suppose. You got a sweetheart?

Oh, I don't know, Miss
Freda, I think so. I...

Well, I...

What's your hurry? You
haven't bought me my drink yet.

I only takes a drop
of gin now and again.

For my health.

A drop of gin, Joe, if you please.

With a beer chaser.

You hear that, Joe?

A drop of gin and a beer
chaser for her ladyship.

Right-o.

Now, come on, sailor. Come on. You can't
let the little lady drink all alone.

- Well, I...
- Please.

Now, come on. Sit down. Sit down.

You got a new matey, you know.
Here, what you gonna have?

Well, then I take a
little ginger beer.

- Ginger beer.
- Small one.

Small ginger beer. You shall have it.

No! No.

Tell me something about your old lady.

Your mother, she won't be
half glad to see you, will she?

Does she know you're coming?

No, I thought I just
give her a surprise.

She must be old, ain't she?

You know, Miss Freda, I
don't see my mother in...

Must be 10 years. Oh, I
write to her once in a while.

She writes many times. My
brother, he writes, too.

My mother say in all her
letters, -You come right home!-

And I write back
always, -I come soon.-

And I mean all time
to go at end of voyage.

But I come ashore. I take one
drink. I take two drinks. I...

I ship away for another voyage.
Something always happens.

Here we are.

And I took the liberty
of having one myself.

Skol.

- Hear her. Skol!
- Skol!

More beer!

Well, this time I go home.

I feel homesick for farm

and to see my people again. I...

Just like little boy, I feel homesick.

My mother,

she gets old. I want to see her.

She might die. I would...

Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!

- Can I keep the parrot?
- Oh, you...

What devil's trick is this?

What kind of... Where's Ole?

Who?

The big lad, Ole!

Oh, him. Oh, he left on a
steamer. He said he couldn't wait.

And he told me to say goodbye.

Ole go home.

The big lug made it.

Ole's gone home to Stockholm.

We still have time to go
and say bon voyage. Come on.

Before you go, how about a
farewell drink on the house?

- Good idea. Good idea. Good idea.
- Come on. Let's get out of this rat hole.

Ole's gone.

What'll you have, whiskey?

Irish whiskey.

That's a queer thing
for Ole to be doing.

If Ole's gone to the steamer,
Drisk, we got time to catch him.

Well, we've come to
see him off anyway.

Well, come on now. Sling your hooks!

- Shall we go?
- Goodbye, mate!

- Happy trip.
- Goodbye!

- Goodbye. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

It's not in my nature to
feel unkindly toward any man,

to be holding a grudge inside of me
when I might let bygones be bygones.

- Thank you, mate.
- So feeling in a merciful mood toward you

- when I might never see you again...
- Now.

...it would be a hard
thing to have on me.

Of course, it would. Of course.

So...

Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy!

Excuse me, mates, but you haven't got it
quite right. It goes something like this.

- Where's Ole?
- Where's Ole?

- What did you do to him?
- Where's Ole?

Driscoll.

Yes, Driscoll, you...

- Ole!
- Ole!

Come on!

Quick!

Ole! Ole! Ole!

Give me...

Come on. Go on. Get
him off here. Quick.

Hurry up! Hurry up, there. Hurry up!

All clear!

Take him forward.

Drisk.

Where's Ole?

Ole go home.

- Good.
- Yeah. Ole go home to Stockholm.

Where's Drisk? What
happened to Driscoll?

Drisk gone.

Gone? Gone where?

Amindra.

He sail on that devil ship Amindra.

He's gone.

He's gone.
