All language subtitles for the ligh 1985

My old man was a
captain in the Coast Guard.

We never say too much of each other.
Most of the time he was away at sea.

But this time I was lucky.
He made it... to my graduation.

Come on get out.
I said... get out!

He even wore his uniform to
the ceremony.

- Captain Miller?
- Thank you, officer.

My father taught me respect for men
in uniform. Come on... nah!

.

come on Alex...

Stump, this is my son Alex.
Good to meet you, kid.

Were you fighting because of me?

What difference does it make?

Before we bring you the farm report
here's a special bulletin...

Three people are dead in a daring daylight
robbery of a U.S. treasury courier.

The two gunmen are described as being in
their late twenties. One is of heavy build and average height...

The other was reportedly wearing a Hawaiian shirt
and a black leather jacket.

No description is available of the getaway driver,
but police of confident of an early arrest.

And now for the Farm report...wheat holding steady at 119...
Corn off at 135...Alfalfa slightly higher at 79...

Peanuts slightly lower at 217...
pork bellies firm at 38...

I did not know much about ships,

But I knew my old man must a screwed up
to end up the captain, of the Hatteras.

It's not the kind of job you'd volunteer for.

Lightships, never move.

Ah Captain, I have yet
to sign the log this morning.

Sir you ah, brought an unauthorized person aboard
this vessel during my watch sir.

I didn't know whether you wanted
me to report it or not.

Now recorded and signed. Anything else?
The pen sir.

Yeah.
What the hell are you doing here?

Come on.

Hey what's the matter with you. That plate was
property of the United States Coast Guard!

Come on.

What kind of shit I've made?
It's broken, but it's brown.
Ah sorry.

There we go... Fine... now I have two
cups of coffee, ha, ha... don't worry. I'll fix that.

You know last night...
I got him to say it a couple of times...

It was just as clear... I'm so proud of him captain.

Do you want to hear?

Ok...

Come on now Frances.
Say it for the captain.

Come on...

Say it for me now.... Don't you
embarrass me in front of the captain.

Come on babe...
come on say it...

Say it for me now...
Love Nate!

Come on my good bird, yeah,
that's fine.

- Mr. Thorne, this is my son Alex.
- Hi Alex.

- Can you call the shore?
- Whom do you want to call?

Somebody to get me out of here.

Alex...

How's the weather? We have a storm
coming in from the south. It should be here tonight.

I'd rather be in jail.
Captain!

Hey Captain!

Looks like we've got a drifter, about
a mile and a half out towards...

A motor boat.

We've been watching him for awhile. It looks
like they ran out of power or something.

I don't know if you can see them.

What will you do with them?

I'll call the shore station,
for a boat to pick them up.

We are not running a hotel.

Ever been in one of those situations
where you were trapped...

Then... without you doing anything...

A door opens up... and there it is...
a way out.

I didn't care who they were... but when
those guys left the Hatteras...

I was going with them.

Permission to come aboard captain?
Permission granted.

Are you Navy men?

I ? No, no, but it amuses me to know the
rules and customs of other men in fighting forces.

- Calvin Caspary at your service.
- Miller. Nice to have you.

- Calvin Caspary.
- Mike Risso. They call me Stump.

Calvin Caspary.
- Nate.

Calvin Caspary... Alex Miller.
Your son? Yes.

I find that families... are fascinating.

My colleagues, Eugene and Edward Waxler.

This is Eddie. He's a good boy.
- Don't touch me.

Now I would say with Eddie the parents
would have to try again...

And after Eugene they knew there was
no point. So they took vows of celibacy.

You tell em Mr. Caspary.
I like to hear Mr. Caspary talk.

So, will you follow me.

Gentlemen, sit down.

Would you enjoy a...
ah no, thank you.

He looks funny Mr. Caspary.
He has big cheeks. Eugene.

Cheers, thank you for
bringing us in.

It’s part of my job.

Never the less thank you.

Yours must be a very lonely occupation.

You don't get many visitors out here.
Visitors? No.

Your colleagues from the mainland don't
come by and bring you hot biscuits...

... tuck you in for the night,
that sort of thing?

No, but, you could get them on short wave.
I'm sure they will send someone for you.

A generous offer, but no thank you.
To go ashore would be a retreat.

You see we have a rendezvous in a few hours at sea,
and, in a world of vagaries and incompetency captain...

... it amuses me to set a course,
and stick to it.

As an order of a man I'm sure
you would appreciate that.

In jest.
If you can't repair your boat...

We'll, either call the main land, or have
a fishing boat pick you up. All right?

You talk funny.
Where did you learn to talk that way.

Germany. I was born in Germany.
Where is Germany?

Uh hm... Yeah.

Pour me a drink.
Pour me a little one.

I don't think you want to have
any more, Eugene. It isn't very good stuff...

... and you know what happens
when you drink bad stuff. It makes ah...

Our teeth loose.

Just for our three guests Captain?
- Yeah, Alex, do you? Thanks, no.

Ah, lovely. We have ah...
chipped beef on toast?

Shit on a shingle.

Eddie, I'm looking forward to this.
I'll say the blessing.

Heavenly father, thank you for these blessed people
who brought us in when we were in need of refuge.

We thank you for the class which
brings us safe to this lovely bull.

We ask you to bestow grace to all that are in this room,
Captain Miller and his entire crew, On Eugene and Eddie,

Thank and glorify the loving that thy
expresses upon all the years of our souls.

Excuse me Captain.
It's almost two O'clock.

You were
to see Stump up on the bridge about that cracked valve.

Yes.

Ah, we agree. There's no more Coast Guard,
no hailing of boats?

I'm sure your man will fix ours,
and then, off we go.

- Alex, come with me.
- Oh no, let him stay.

You have him forever. I know nothing about what
young people think these days.

If your Alex would educate me,
I would be very grateful.

Eddie. No thank you. Ed you're eating?
Not shit on a shingle. Eugene.

How old will you be on your next birthday?
Seventeen.

Do you have a sweetheart? What's
your sweethearts name? Karen.

Lovely name.
Really.

What sort of things do you do
with your girlfriend?

What's this nonsense about
a cracked valve?

I gotta show you something Captain.

Coop found this under the floorboards of their boat.

A beauty eh?
Yeah.

Wait till you get a load of this.

The piece de resistance.

Look, the way I figure it,
There's three of them, there's six of us.

We could take these guys...have you thought
about that out there I'm sure there's more of them.

We got these.

They have the ammunition.

Take this stuff back, and tell
Coop to fix their boat. Okay?

Okay, Then what?
Dinner.

... and New York ah, New York to me, to me,
is the most magnificent city on the continent, any continent.

For a young man of your clear abilities
and intelligence New York...

... is like the Garden of Eden.
Where you can satisfy every appetite, fulfill every dream...

Oh Captain Miller, we were just discussing
New York. Do you know the city?

I know the docks.
Oh, the waterfront. Most interesting I'm sure.

Alex, do me a favor.
Tell Coop I want to see him.

In a minute.
We're talking.

Alex do as your father asks.
A son's first duty is always to his father.

I can handle this. Of course you can.
I don't mean to intrude between father and son...

and his sacred territory.

Unfortunately, my father blew his brains
out before we could come to an understanding.

Sometimes I regret
the lost opportunity.

Of course the death of the father,
does free the son.

It is an expensive freedom.

Freedom is the greatest prize of them all.
Why shouldn't the cost be high.

That's nonsense.
Is it?

Well we won't be together long Captain,
but if you learn only one thing while we are...

Learn not to judge me
by what you know of other men.

Straighten him out Mr. Caspary.
Alex, go find Coop.

Hey buddy, mind if I take
a look at that thing.

What the hell do you call this?
What do you mean. Get in the house.

- Mr. Caspary, we got a problem.
- What, Eddie?

Well now I'm out there watching him.
You know, when he's in the boat, and uh...

... I don't know whether he sees me, or he
just don't care...

Or maybe he thinks I'm stupid.
I don't know.

Eddie, what did he do? Well I'm getting
there. Is the boat all right?

Well, it ain't never going to be right. Why?
Well now, I know something about engines.

I mean, Gene am I right? I been around a
few engines in my time, I've seen a few engines.

And I seen this, when we were out there
bobbing around, this drive shaft, a piece of it.

What's wrong?
Well it's, it's sheared off here at the threads. See...

There's no way in hell it’s going to work for you.
See. No way.

And this guy, is putting it right
back in! Like it was cherry.

Ah Captain Miller, was this on your orders?

My only interest is,
to get you off this boat as soon as possible.

Well then our,
our desires coincide.

I don't know. I just think he's going to have
to eat it.

Ho-ho-hold it.
Stop it now!

You don't touch me!
- Eugene, Eugene, down.

- He shouldn't touch Eddie Mr. Caspary.
We'll discuss all our mutual needs and concerns calmly.

Mr. Thorn, if you'll sit down before your cup.
Eddie, put the knife down.

Put the knife away Eddie. Put the knife away
Eddie. Good lad.

I'm sorry, Captain.
I'm truly sorry.

Eddie.

Let's all settle down.

Obviously, we'll have to change
our plans, Captain.

Well I guess that shortened the wave
up pretty good didn't it.

Loose lips sink ships.

Is there another, uh, back up,
or whatever?

Good. It’s done. Now there are just a few
more matters to settle and then we can all relax.

I want all of your weapons.
And don't play the fool Mr. Miller...

Every Coast, ship carries,
something that shoot's.

I have to get, my, keys.

Stay calm, Eugene.
You’re a good boy.

Yes sir Mr. Caspary.

You just keep cooking boy.

A cozy little place.

Well, well...
Regular cowboy's here.

I'll take the 45.
Eddie...

Unlucky.

Shall we?

Eugene. Eugene!

- Yes, Mr. Caspary?
- Come here. Come.

45 breaks my heart.
Oh boy.

So much for that temptation.

It's finished.

Now that you know
let's talk about the matter of our transportation.

You already settled the matter.

Your boat doesn't work.
And now, we can't call for another.

We don't have to call.
We'll use one of your launches.

What do you say?

You have a whole ship after all,
you can't begrudge us a loan.

Can't I?

What then, the ship, we'll take the
ship, and you may have the launch.

This ship doesn't move.
Never.

I am the most reasonable, rational man you have ever
met. Now let's examine my reason against yours.

Our boat is finished.
You can't call your shore station obviously.

You won't give us one of your launches,
therefore the ship is the last resort.

... and the final, and most salient
point,

... we have guns. And I will cheerfully
have your men shot, one by one...

Until you understand the
beauty of my logic.

He's dumb, Mr. Caspary.

What a difference a day...

Twenty-four little hours

... the sun and the flowers...

Yesterday is gone...

What a difference a day makes...

Your flooding it!

Lay back off the choke. You're too
rich, you're flooding it.

I know how to start and engine Eddie.
Then start it!

I'm not stupid you know!

I'm not saying you’re stupid.

I'm not stupid!

Sorry.

Ask and it shall be done.

I thought it was only for the
pure of heart. Am I not?

You've got the boat.
take it, and go. Oh Captain, my Captain...

Haste is unseemly. I think the, the fog
may have defeated us. Defeated us...

We missed our first rendezvous, our
second isn't for hours.

We have one of the ultimate lodges
here. I'll look for a time.

Now why don't we use it,
to nurture our growing friendship.

The truth is you must be on the run.
To leave as fast as you can.

- The truth is a bore Miller it's without charge.
Bye boys, it was real nice to meet you.

You see all my life, it has been my ambition never
to learn or to speak more than half the truth.

Now if I hadn't done that you see,
the tedium would have killed me. Literally.

Dr. Caspary.

Take your boat.

Oh I'll take it, Captain. Oh yes.

... all the rules and regulations, if anything, will
take care of itself. Do you understand?

Here I come.

You okay?

Mr. Caspary... We're ready to go...We're not,
we're not going now Eddie. What? We're not going?

What do you mean?
Just turn the motor off and relax.

I want it back. Want what back? The 45 that
was taken from the armory. I want it right now.

Believe me if I had one
I'd give it to you.

You are an idiot.

I'm an officer of this ship
and I will be treated with respect.

Earn it. Oh I'll earn it all right. I'm going
to take them and when I do you're going to have to a

court martial board why you wouldn't.

I want to keep our boat on station. I
want to keep other ships off the rocks.

I want to bring my crew in
safely. That's my job.

When the shore station doesn't get
us on the radio, they will send a boat to investigate.

We can't do nothing until then...
This is my ship!

And you will do as you are told.

What a bitch!

Look, I'm sorry, it just
pisses me off! I know what you mean.

Is it true? What true? About the war?
I don't know I didn't know him during the war.

Well you know what they say about him?

Look he's your father.
Why don't you ask him.

Listen kid if I were you I'd just
forget about it.

Come in, Caspary.

How did you know?
Eyes on the back of your head?

Men like you love an audience.
You were about to come looking for me.

Bravo. Thank you.

Bravo.

You were a handsome young man, Captain.

I think you're... you're going to live
up to all our expectations.

In these efforts to you, I have taken care
of a gun. I loathe carrying one...

It ruins the drape of my suit, but perilous times,
drastic measures...

Do you like yourself,
Captain Miller?

I love myself
and hate myself. Love myself.

I can sit for hours in front of my reflection.
Watching the face and the revolver.

I aim at the face I see.

At this chin, at this forehead.

I put the gun between the lips.
I correct the trigger.

And instantly eternity.

Love, hate.
Love, hate.

Pull it.

No, I having so much fun.

Give it to me. I'll do it.
- No. You are the best this ship has to offer.

The only person grand enough for that
is my friend in the mirror.

Have him do it quickly.

Blow your brains out.

It's a sure cure.

My father killed himself.
He lost the family fortune.

- And he shot himself in the library,
after we had all gone to bed.

At the time, I thought it was
the act of a coward.

Now I'm not so sure.

Pull the trigger
and go and ask him.

I should like to warn you, against the arrogance,
of being so sure of other people.

I don't know what kind of game they
had going.

The rules were too weird
to make sense.

Except for them.

They just squared off.
One on one.

The way I saw it, nobody would be
in charge of anything anymore.

I guess that's why I held onto that pistol.

What are you doing?

Fishing. Just doing
a little fishing.

I like to fish. Can I fish too?
Well, I don't see why not.

Come on.

So, you like to fish?

Two years ago Mr. Caspary, he took
us all down to the ocean for a vacation.

... and I caught fish every day.
Mr. Caspary is wonderful.

You know, before we met Mr. Caspary.

- Eddie and I were just moving around, you know,
doing gas station stick ups and things like that.

Mr. Caspary, you know, he taught how to
think real big.

It must be real good to have a friend like Mr. Caspary.

What's that? what?
That.

Why that's my Fred.
That's Fredrick Douglas Bird.

Say hello to the man.
- Can it talk? Really talk?

Of course he can.
Come on Fred, say hello to the man.

Come on son.

aye love...

I love Nate...
Love Eugene!

I ain't Nate, I'm Eugene.

Make him say "Love Eugene".
Well I ain't taught him that, I don't know that he can.

Why say it to me bird.
I ain't Nate, say it to me.

I'll make him say it.
What you doing?

Eugene, Eugene, Why?

He's a real stupid bird.

Fred!

Get up.
Come on. Come on.

Come on, do it nigger!
Come on.

I killed me a black bird Mr. Caspary.
Now I'm going to kill me a black man.

Nate!
Stay where you are!

You can't take him like this.
Give me the knife. Give me the knife.

Bravo, captain.
Strength, courage, command, Bravo, lovely.

Give me the knife. Go to your cabin.

Eugene. Enough, enough.

Take your finger off the trigger.

Let's just go over it once more.
I gotta wait for Cooper all right?

Come on, Coop.

Okay, here's the plan. It's going to be easy,
if we follow the plan, all right?

I want you and you
on either side of the door.

I want you up top.

I want you to take the
first one, I want you to take the second one.

I want the big one Mr. Thorn. Suppose the big one
is the first one, that's what I'm trying to tell you...

Let him... give him the big one! All right?

You got it?
All Right.

- I still think we ought to tell the Captain.
Believe me the Captain doesn't want to be bothered.

How come you got such a hard on for him.
He's a good man.

You don't know much
about our Captain do you?

Go on,
Tell them.

It’s not the place, or the time. All right?
Wait a minute, what's the story with this kid.

Don't worry, he's in.
He's okay.

Are you in?

Yeah, I'm in.
You in or out!

I'm in.
You in?

Let's do it.

Your predecessor?

One of them.

A grim looking soul. There's
no joy in his life.

Is that fault of the boat?
Your ship mother's like you, it's chained here locked down tight.

A ship ought to be allowed to sail.
She needs to go over the horizon...

... and come back with stories to tell.

And this one was built to be chained
and imprisoned for life, and that's why...

... this poor soul, was a prisoner
on an prisoner ship, in command of something uh...

Going nowhere.

Nowhere.

You talk about freedom of ships at sea.

You're, so-called free ships, stay easily,
only because we are anchored here.

But they are free.

Free?

If you wanted to, you could wreck half of
them on the reef out there.

The whole bay, would be full of wrecks,
where the mine fields used to be.

Have you ever thought of doing it?

No.

Well don't be like everybody else
you know, like one of the sheep.

I would think it comes when you break chains,
destroy rules, and sail at will.

In other words Freedom is "choice", unfettered
by other men's puny customs.

To the Captains of the lightship...

... happy in their chains.

Put it down Eddie.

It's a big ol' snake? First... Put it down! ...bite's a ...,
it’s coming down on ya...

Put it down Eddie!
Come on. It's a big ol' snake.

Quiet.

Go below.
You don't have the balls for it, keep out!

Go below! We can do it Captain!
I don't want to bury you at sea tomorrow.

- We'll risk it.
Not on my ship! Not while I'm Captain.

Very sensible Mr. Miller. God loves a
peacemaker and so do I. I'm a very light sleeper.

I'm sorry about that.

And I think it's time you and I talked about
the next phase of our visit. Alex?

Alex!
Not now.

Alex!

Alex? What do think you're doing here?
Leave me alone Dad. Come on! Get down!

Get Down.

Go!

What were you doing up there?

What you are afraid to do, that's what.

You have got killed.

They think you're a coward!
And I know they are right.

I've heard that story all my life.

People love to tell me about it.

What story?

- You let them die in the war.

Sit down.

Sit Down!

I was Captain of a Destroyer,
as you know.

Behind my back, they made
jokes about my accent. They called my Kraut.

But I was Captain in the
United States Navy.

One night, a submarine attacked
one of our group ships.

The sea was covered with burning oil,
men were jumping into the flames.

We could hear them screaming.

We went after the submarine
and we sank it.

When we got back, the men
in the water, were gone.

Do you understand? I gave the order
to go after that submarine.

There was a court of inquiry,
and I was cleared of all charges.

But...

I do feel...

... Responsible.

Alex.

Please...

... don't get involved with weapons.

Never.

- What are you doing?
The wrench, I dropped it.

Wrench, what the hell you want with a wrench?

I was uh, I was, hiding it for a weapon.
Wait, wait, wait....

... where you going? Come on...
I'm gonna look for it.

Hey well, don't worry about it.
You ain't gonna find it anyway.

Come here kid.
Have a drink. No!

Have a drink! No!
Here, it will put hair on your chest.

You box? Huh?
Do you know how to box, fight?

Yeah a little.

Come on hit me.
Hit me as hard as you can.

Listen, you're drunk.
Don't matter, come on.

Come on.

My grandmother hits harder that you, come on.
Come on, don't be all pissed, come on... come on hit me!

Come on.

Like steel huh, like steel.

I used to box for a living you know,
but, I had a glass jaw.

You hit me one on the button,
and it was lights out.

But over here, like solid iron.
Great.

Sounds like solid bull shit to me.

Don't it sound like solid bull shit to
you Eugene... Yeah it is.

Why don't you give Gene a shot.
Come on leave.... you shut up.

It's all right, it's all right. Stay here Alex.
Give me your best shot punk.

I'll ring this bell
just let me get this cord.

You ready Gene?

I'm ready Eddie.
Ready Eddie.

You ready big man!

Down, he's down, he's out.
Get up Coast Guard.

Oh get up Coast Guard, get up.

Fold up pretty easy don't they.

They're pussies Eddie.
I don't think you could guard our mama.

Oh woe, woe, hey!

Do not even think about it, sonny.
Don't even think about it.

- If I had a gun ...
If you had a gun?

Yeah I heard that before.

But see, you don't have a gun.
I have a gun. Okay?

Hey Gene. Yeah Eddie? He's so pretty, I don't
know whether to shoot him or kiss him.

Kiss him Eddie.
Give him a kiss.

What a pair.

Let's go.

See you later fatso.

Oh-h-h-h... you okay Stump?...shit...
- What happened?

- Stump, You're all right huh?
It's all right.

That's good. Sit down
I want to show you something.

You'll see.

Take it.

Mr. Caspary, when are getting out of here?

When it's time Eddie, when it's time.
What's wrong with right now?

I'm having fun. You wouldn't want me
to stop having fun would you?

No, but um, me and Gene were thinking...

- I didn't say nothing.
- You're what?

We were thinking, that...
"don't think it Ed Waxler!"

The last time you and Eugene
thought, I had to go to Florida...

... and get you out of jail,
remember?

You do remember?
Why I didn't say nothing Mr. Caspary.

Leave the thinking to the Doctor.

I'll tell you when it's time to go.

Eddie.

Oh no, not this.

Dr. Caspary, please...

See there!

- May I join you?
- How can I stop you?

Is this log book?

Everything is written down there.
Everything’s in there to be looked up again.

There's no secrets, no mystery.

I like to begin each day by erasing all
traces of the one before.

I mean after all why carry
the baggage of yesterday... into tomorrow?

You killed men. I can see it in your face.
But if you say so, I don't remember.

Maybe you should keep a log.

Very good.

Those ships out there,
how far can they see the light?

Fifteen miles.

So as long as the light is flashing they'll be
satisfied, that there is still order at sea. Is that correct?

yes.

They don't care who gives the
signal?

No.

They are so used to obeying
that they'd follow it anywhere. Yes.

My men could do it as well
as yours.

Fuck, forget it...
You stupid shit, there are four of them...

What the hell kind of poker is that?
Two Wild Cards. That ain't poker!

You might as well be playing, uh,
Old Maid, or one of them games.

Uncle Buddy let's me play Two Wild Cards...
Uncle Buddy don't know his ass from third base!

Do you think they play that at
Las Vegas?

Uncle Buddy could play that way,
but nobody else does.

Dr. Caspary! Dr. Caspary
come in here and tell Gene...

- That you don't play Two Wild Cards.

Mr. Caspary!

Hold on you son of a bitch you.

Gene.

Take it easy.
Okay Eddie.

Hold it big man.

I gotta go up on watch.
My ass!

Now where have you got...

Mr. Caspary.

- Where is Mr. Caspary? Where is he?
How the hell should I know.

Well now he's gotta be
down here.

Uh, I would have seen him.

Well maybe you ain't looked
in the right place...

- This door is locked.
That the store room. the Cap's got the key.

Store room. Looks like
the can to me.

Watch it Eddie!

He's in there.

Get back!

I'm coming big man!
Get in there!

You pushed me down!

Captain, Captain,

You all right Eddie?
- Did you kill him, Eddie?

Eddie, you take Eugene down and get him
some ice cream. It'll soothe him.

Thank you Mr. Canbary.

Here.

A dead man,
is an amazing thing.

It must make some kind of photograph,
on your heart.

It's there to look at,
whenever you want to.

Sometimes it's there whether you
want to look at it or not.

The Captain just stayed out there in the storm,
till the rain washed the blood from the deck of the ship.

And those men drowning in the
flames, until it was quiet again.

... and we know that the son of God
has come and has given us an understanding ... "

(continues praying)

I was waiting to tell you how much
I regret the incident.

It was a murder.

Self defense actually.

I also wanted to tell you
that we have decided to leave you, really leave you.

You'll have to stay here, until someone
comes to pick you up.

Someone cut the launch loose.

As kind as you are, I don't think we can
accept the invitation.

And unfortunately, I've never mastered
walking on water, so that's out.

And if that's out,
We'll have to take your ship.

I thought of offering you money.
I would enjoy that mild and easy corruption.

But that was earlier in our relationship,
before I understood,

that your corruption
should be much, much grander.

You have been running with those idiots
of yours too long.

You think everyone is like them,
ready to be pushed around.

But we are different.
Most of us.

That's something you can't
understand.

Bravo Captain. Perhaps what you are saying
is true, but a, I doubt it.

I was right. You are Mad.

Actually piety runs in my family,
not madness.

My father, god rest his soul,

Made his fortune printing bibles, if
you could imagine, but...

... every forty years or so the plug
throughs up an anomaly.

Without exception a gifted or
remarkable black sheep...

... from our not very remarkable family...

... a thief, a swindler, etcetera,
a murderer, whatever...

My father, announced this on the day
of my sixteenth birthday.

I realized I was the designated one
of my generation, accepted it...

And made it my redemption. Where are you
going? Don't you do that Captain. Don't!

There's a storm rising. I have a ship
to see too.

There's a storm rising right here.
You better see to it.

Now you will listen to me.

However I say it.

I accepted my destiny
through the light of my genius honor.

I wanted to create myself,
I needed a lever, to crack life open,

Like an oyster.

Among other things I'm a lawyer.
I became a lawyer to please my father.

Then I discovered something to
please myself.

New Orleans is a wonderful corrupt town,
but no more than anywhere else.

In my legal practice I discovered...

... that everyone conceals guilt.
Take any person at random...

... and I guarantee that I can find something in
his life, that will cost him, what, two-years in jail.

I don't give a damn who it is,
Doctor, lawyer, Indian, chief.

At first I used this knowledge for
a little genteel blackmail.

... and I billed my clients
handsomely, but I

... I realized I was wasting my talent...

In a world that is criminal it seemed only just,
that I become the greatest criminal of all.

Why do I have to listen to all this?

Because, you're the very first
person I've ever told this to.

And because, every man resembles his enemy.
We hold each other the palms of our hands, Captain.

We are as intimate, as,
as lovers.

- You are a pig. I am worthy of you
Captain Miller. I'm worthy of you.

Try a little harder to make the game more interesting.

Let me leave you with something to think about.

Your crew didn't cut the launch loose.
I did.

I will not take you to your rendezvous.

Oh I agree the rendezvous is out.
As you said there's a storm rising...

And I have no wish to spend the
next few hours.

- Vomiting over the side of
a sailboat. No...

Ah, tomorrow will be soon enough.
We'll free the lightship from her chains...

... and see how she likes
her freedom.

I think all go below and rest. Tomorrow promises
to be a, a fascinating day.

Hey, Cook.

I'm tired of vanilla.
Can you give me some chocolate?

You got Chocolate?

I guess I got some chocolate.
Can I have some. I want it.

How much you want?

Hey, some pie would go good with this.
Would you get me some pie? Please.

Hey cook, I said I want some...

- What was that?
Love Nate!

- Who's doing that?
Love Nate!

Who are you?

- Where are you?
Love Nate!

You stop it!
love Nate.

I don't like it! Did you hear?

Love Nate!

I said stop it... love Nate!

I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!

Help me!

Eddie help me!

Eugene?

Yes...

Here.

Woops.

Take this.

I can't find Gene.

I want to go home.

Eugene?

Eugene, is that you?

Gene?

Hey, kid.

What are you going to do now?

Are you going to kill me?

It won't take much.

Are you going to shoot me?
Well go ahead.

I puke one more time
I'm dead anyway.

Well come on.

You want me to move closer?

I'll move closer.

How's that?

Go on.

Here I'll help you.

I'll take the gun...

Nice gun.

Your dad's?

It didn't hurt.

All I kept thinking about was
how me and my old man...

- We weren't so different.
That's what hurt.

What is it?

Hundred yards, at the two.

See it?

Coop get the torch. We gotta cut the anchor
chain. Right!. No it's too late.

Break out the life vests!
And be quick about it.

Come on, let's move it, move it! Thorn! What is it?
We got a mine on starboard!

Where is my brother?
Where is he? Make him....make him tell me!

After we settle this matter. You're going to
find.... Eugene Waxler, Captain Miller.

Now, raise the anchor. It's a perfect opportunity.
Who could blame you in this situation, please Captain!

Free the ship! Raise the anchor!

I never saw him like that.

Staring at that thing,
talking to it like he knew it was out there...

... all the time,
drifting... waiting...

... looking for him,
and his ship.

I don't know what kind of deal he made.

so nothing could hurt his ship.

Gene!

Gene?

Eddie Waxler.

Now, Mr. Thorn. Mr. thorn.

Raise the anchor please. Right now or in one minute,
Eddie, will shoot the man behind you.

Continue Mr. Thorne.

Thirty seconds
Mr. Thorne.

Ten seconds Mr. Thorn.

Don 't touch the anchor!

Continue, Mr. Thorne.

You've been sensible so far Miller
now don't turn stupid.

No.

No further.
No further.

Don't. Don't.

Are we moving?

No, dad.

My father told me once...

A ship wasn't something you just sailed on...

A ship was something, a man served.
I never knew what he meant.

But I was a lot younger then.

I have been a lot of places since my father's
last watch about the lightship.

None of them anywhere near the water.

But every night when I go to sleep,
I can still see that light.

I can still feel that ship,
rocking underneath me.
