Transcript
00:00Isn't there some way I can get a message to my father?
00:02Do.
00:03You say there won't be another boat here for two months?
00:05That's right.
00:07But what can we do?
00:09Nothing.
00:11You see, most of the people here are hiding from the law.
00:16Some are shipwrecked.
00:19But I guess you can manage to get along.
00:22Looks like we'll be here for a couple of months.
00:24I hope we can get sleeping quarters.
00:27Well, I can arrange that.
00:32Well, fellas, here's where you bunk.
00:34Certainly is nice of you to help us out, Kelly.
00:36Don't mention it.
00:37What about Miss Carson's?
00:39Oh, Tao's taken her to her cabin down the road.
00:47I thought I'd find you here.
00:49Oh, hello.
00:50Hello.
00:51Morning, Grant.
00:52Good morning.
00:53Let me fix you some breakfast.
00:54What's the big idea, sneaking over here?
00:56Just a minute, Bannister.
00:58Oh, I can explain.
00:59Sit down, please.
01:01Make yourself at home.
01:07I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
01:10Kelly forced his way in here last night.
01:13Tom happened along and saved the situation as far as I was concerned.
01:17That doesn't explain why Willoughby forgot where he was supposed to spend the night.
01:20Listen, Bannister.
01:22Not that Miss Carson needs to make any explanations.
01:26But just for your own benefit, I slept outside.
01:29You expect me to believe that?
01:31Personally, I think all of this is none of your business.
01:33I don't agree with you, Graham.
01:34Why not?
01:36Now, we all know that Kelly runs this island.
01:38But last night, as Miss Carson told you,
01:41he made himself very annoying.
01:44Kelly isn't the type of man to take a licking and forget about it.
01:47He'll make it plenty tough on all of us.
01:50That's why I didn't agree with you.
01:53What happened here last night concerns you and Bannister
01:56as well as it does Helen and me.
01:58If we'd stick together, we might have a chance.
02:01That's what we have to do.
02:03Otherwise, I might demand that you let me go.
