00:00:00Come on, Sylvia, hurry up, half the fun is leaving the dock.
00:00:14Well, it's not my fault we're late.
00:00:15We would have been here in plenty of time if you hadn't been gone all morning.
00:00:16Business, darling, business.
00:00:17Monkey business.
00:00:18Oh, come on, Sylvia.
00:00:19Every time I'm out of your sight more than five minutes, you start accusing me of...
00:00:20I'm not accusing you of anything.
00:00:21Maybe your conscience is bothering you.
00:00:22I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:23I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:24I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:25I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:26I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:27I'm an insurance agent.
00:00:28What does that mean?
00:00:29I'm an insurance salesman, remember?
00:00:30I don't have a conscience.
00:00:44All ashore that's going ashore.
00:00:47All ashore that's going ashore.
00:00:51What are you waving at people you don't even know for?
00:00:59It's like a parade, sweetheart.
00:01:00You're supposed to wave whether you know the people or not.
00:01:01Not me.
00:01:02Well, Jimmy, they say you don't fully appreciate something unless you pay for it.
00:01:09No, no, I appreciate this free cruise.
00:01:12I do indeed.
00:01:13It's just that I thought if this was supposed to be our second honeymoon that I should probably
00:01:18conserve my strength.
00:01:19That's all.
00:01:20I think you're probably right.
00:01:21I tell you what.
00:01:22You save your strength and I'll just pay for all of it.
00:01:37I hope I didn't forget anything.
00:01:39You brought everything but the car, Liz.
00:01:41Whenever we go on a trip, I always worry.
00:01:44Did I turn off the gas in the oven?
00:01:47I don't think so, sweetheart.
00:01:49Ours is electric.
00:02:01Oh, officer, sir.
00:02:04I'm Dr. Burke.
00:02:06I wonder if you could show me to my cabin.
00:02:08Glad to, sir.
00:02:09Oh, your uniforms arrived about an hour ago.
00:02:12Uniform?
00:02:13Oh, that's of course.
00:02:15Thank you.
00:02:16Thank you very much.
00:02:17Can I help you with this?
00:02:18Yes.
00:02:29Did you tell Betsy how to get in touch with us in case of an emergency?
00:02:32Betsy is 24 years old.
00:02:34She has her own home, a child, and a perfectly capable husband who can handle any emergency
00:02:39that might arise.
00:02:41Now, can you stop worrying?
00:02:43I just don't want to give them the feeling that we've sailed away and abandoned them.
00:02:49They probably won't even know we've gone.
00:02:52Besides, it'll give her a chance to be alone with her child without you hovering around
00:02:56somewhere in the background like a clucking overprotective grandmother.
00:03:03Here I am, the real me.
00:03:05Neat, but not gaudy.
00:03:08What's the matter?
00:03:09I think I'm going to be seasick.
00:03:11Well, how can you be seasick?
00:03:12We haven't even left the dock yet.
00:03:14Excuse me.
00:03:17Hey, uh, would you like to take a little stroll around the deck before lunch?
00:03:22David, what if any one of the kids needs us and we're not there?
00:03:27Well, then they're just going to have to muddle through without us.
00:03:31David.
00:03:32Now what?
00:03:34Don't light that cigar.
00:03:35Remember what the doctor said.
00:03:37Elizabeth.
00:03:38Elizabeth.
00:03:43Look, why don't you stay here and finish unpacking, huh?
00:03:46I'll see you later.
00:03:59All visitors will please leave the ship.
00:04:02We will be sailing in ten minutes.
00:04:08Captain.
00:04:11Hi.
00:04:12I'm not the captain.
00:04:14Although the uniforms are kind of impressive, aren't they?
00:04:17That's very nice.
00:04:18Do you have a light?
00:04:19No, I think I do, yes.
00:04:22I'm the ship's doctor.
00:04:24Oh.
00:04:28Well, in that case, maybe you've got something for seasickness,
00:04:32you know, just in case.
00:04:33Well, in that case, maybe you've got something for seasickness,
00:04:37you know, just in case.
00:04:38Sure enough.
00:04:39Now, you'll take two of these right away,
00:04:42and then one every four hours.
00:04:44One every four hours.
00:04:45Thanks.
00:04:46Um, you know, I think it's that cigar that's making you sick.
00:04:50Oh, well, I could fix that if you could talk the captain
00:04:53into stopping in Havana for about 20 minutes.
00:04:56Uh, keep the matches.
00:04:58Oh, thanks.
00:05:03Whoa!
00:05:29Captain.
00:05:30Captain.
00:05:34Dr. Burke.
00:05:37I'm sorry, Captain.
00:05:39I haven't been in uniform since I was discharged from the Navy.
00:05:42I don't know whether to shake hands or salute.
00:05:44This is not the Navy, Doctor.
00:05:46I only exercise my godlike powers in case of extreme emergencies.
00:05:51Did you find your quarters all right?
00:05:52Yes, sir.
00:05:53Good.
00:05:54I wanted to thank you again for taking this job on such short notice.
00:05:57Oh, it's my pleasure, Captain.
00:05:59I hope so.
00:06:00Usually, the people who take this cruise are in very good health.
00:06:03They spend most of their time relaxing and taking it easy,
00:06:06so there shouldn't be much for you to do,
00:06:08barring the unforeseen, of course.
00:06:10Well, then I'll only exercise my godlike powers
00:06:13in case of extreme emergency.
00:06:15Oh, one other thing.
00:06:17Since I cannot entertain the entire passenger list,
00:06:20the ship's officer asked to eat with the passengers.
00:06:24Just talk to them, answer their questions, you know?
00:06:27Oh, I think I'd like that.
00:06:28Fine.
00:06:31This will be your schedule.
00:06:34Table 24 for dinner tonight,
00:06:36table 32 for breakfast tomorrow.
00:06:40There are that many of us,
00:06:41so we have to spread ourselves kind of thin.
00:06:43If you have any questions, feel free to call on me.
00:06:48Thank you, Captain.
00:06:58Thank you.
00:07:26Hello.
00:07:27Hello.
00:07:32I wonder why it is
00:07:35that I like to watch you put your clothes on
00:07:38more than I like to watch you take your clothes off.
00:07:40It's because you're perverse.
00:07:42It's gonna be dinner.
00:07:47You know why I married you?
00:07:51Because of my keen mind and my scintillating wit.
00:07:57No.
00:08:00Because every time I look at you,
00:08:03it's love at first sight again.
00:08:09Oh, come on, sweetheart.
00:08:11We both know you married me for my money.
00:08:13$68.27.
00:08:14Oh, we've all got a price.
00:08:16You just happen to come cheap.
00:08:18We have very good accommodations,
00:08:19considering they're free.
00:08:21Outside stateroom with dressing room.
00:08:24I just can't remember entering that contest.
00:08:28We win first prize, a Caribbean cruise,
00:08:30and a contest.
00:08:31I can't even remember entering.
00:08:33I feel kind of guilty about it, don't you?
00:08:36Jerry?
00:08:40Jerry?
00:08:44Probably bird-dogging the deck.
00:08:46I'm not feeling very well,
00:08:48so I won't be having dinner.
00:08:50I'm going to rest now,
00:08:51and I don't want to be disturbed.
00:08:53Very well, Mr. Kramer.
00:08:54Just call if you need anything.
00:08:56Yes, thank you.
00:09:02Is he sick?
00:09:04Bad heart.
00:09:08Dinner's ready.
00:09:09I'll be right down.
00:09:10Thank you.
00:09:11Bad heart.
00:09:15Dinner is now being served in the main salon.
00:09:19Oh, this is my stateroom.
00:09:21I seem to have ended up right back where I started.
00:09:23Oh, excuse me.
00:09:25Where would I find the dining salon?
00:09:28On the main deck.
00:09:29And where would I find the main deck?
00:09:32Up the stairs.
00:09:34Where would I find the stairs?
00:09:37Come on, I'll show you.
00:09:38Thank you.
00:09:39Oh.
00:09:52Actually, Mr. Mason,
00:09:53I can't tell you very much about the ship.
00:09:55You see, I'm only a temporary replacement
00:09:57for the regular ship's doctor.
00:09:58What happened to him?
00:10:00Oh, it was very tragic, really.
00:10:01Tripped on the golf course and broke his ankle.
00:10:05So, this is my first Caribbean cruise
00:10:07and probably my last.
00:10:09Well, it's our first cruise, too.
00:10:11But we won it.
00:10:15Some company called E&M Promotions
00:10:17had a contest
00:10:18and we won a three-week cruise on the Caribbean.
00:10:24Oh, Jerry.
00:10:25Jerry, over here.
00:10:27I'm sorry, darling.
00:10:28I hope I didn't hold you up.
00:10:29I was taking a little look around the ship.
00:10:32Did you see anything interesting?
00:10:34Lots of portholes.
00:10:35Lots of portholes.
00:10:38I'm Jerry Carter.
00:10:39David Mason.
00:10:40My wife, Elizabeth.
00:10:41Hello.
00:10:42Dr. Burke, ship's doctor.
00:10:43Doctor.
00:10:44Mr. and Mrs. Rodney.
00:10:45Hello.
00:10:49Say, have we met someplace before?
00:10:52I don't think so.
00:10:53That's funny.
00:10:54You all look very familiar.
00:10:57Well, I'll remember.
00:10:58Never forget a face.
00:11:00Did I miss anything?
00:11:02Well, as a matter of fact,
00:11:03Mrs. Rodney was telling us
00:11:04how they won this cruise
00:11:05in a contest.
00:11:09You're kidding.
00:11:10So did we.
00:11:15E&M Promotions.
00:11:16Three weeks.
00:11:17All expenses paid.
00:11:19Well, what do you know?
00:11:20There must have been
00:11:21more than one first prize.
00:11:23Oh, honey.
00:11:24Take a shot of the whole table
00:11:25here, will you?
00:11:26And make four copies of it.
00:11:27One for each couple
00:11:28and one for the doctor.
00:11:29Oh, and put it on my bill.
00:11:33Okay, everybody.
00:11:36Smile.
00:11:56Your attention.
00:11:57Your attention, please.
00:11:59The pool is now open.
00:12:01The pool is now open.
00:12:03The pool is now open.
00:12:08Hello, Mrs. Carter.
00:12:09Oh, hello, doctor.
00:12:10Have you seen my husband?
00:12:12No, but I'll help you
00:12:13look for him.
00:12:14One great thing about
00:12:15being on a ship,
00:12:16he can't have gone too far.
00:12:17In that case,
00:12:18I guess if I keep moving,
00:12:19I'll find him sooner or later.
00:12:20Wait a minute.
00:12:21I saw some of the people
00:12:22from your table
00:12:23on the sports deck
00:12:24playing ping pong.
00:12:25Oh, that's not
00:12:26exactly Jerry's game.
00:12:27He goes more for
00:12:28indoor sports.
00:12:31Well, if I see him,
00:12:33I'll tell him
00:12:34you're looking for him.
00:12:35Thank you, doctor.
00:12:36But he probably
00:12:37already knows that,
00:12:38which is why
00:12:39I can't find him.
00:12:40Your attention, please.
00:12:41Your attention, please.
00:12:43A mixed shuffleboard
00:12:44tournament will be held
00:12:45at three o'clock
00:12:46this afternoon
00:12:47on the upper decks.
00:12:49There we go.
00:12:50It will be a mixed
00:12:51shuffleboard tournament
00:12:52on the upper decks
00:12:53at three o'clock
00:12:54this afternoon.
00:12:55No, no.
00:12:56Not that way,
00:12:57Mrs. Radley.
00:12:58Look, just keep
00:12:59the wrist stiff like that.
00:13:00That's it.
00:13:01And swing the paddle
00:13:02with the whole arm.
00:13:04That's it.
00:13:06Don't crack the wrist.
00:13:07Just keep the arm
00:13:08nice and straight.
00:13:09That a girl.
00:13:10Now you got it.
00:13:11See?
00:13:12She sees, Jerry.
00:13:14Oh, hi, darling.
00:13:15Come on down.
00:13:18What the hell
00:13:19do you think you're doing?
00:13:20Or are you
00:13:21the new ping pong pro?
00:13:23I'm not doing
00:13:24anything, darling.
00:13:25Of course, dear.
00:13:26Look, her husband
00:13:27is sitting right there.
00:13:28He doesn't seem to be upset.
00:13:30That's only because
00:13:31he doesn't know you
00:13:32as well as I do.
00:13:33Just give him some time.
00:13:44My wife seems
00:13:45to have slight foot problem.
00:13:46It usually ends up
00:13:47in my mouth.
00:13:48I guess I was wrong.
00:13:49It's not going
00:13:50to be a dull trip.
00:14:12You know,
00:14:13there's something
00:14:14so familiar about
00:14:15this country
00:14:16that I don't know
00:14:17if you're familiar
00:14:18about those people.
00:14:19These Masons
00:14:20and the Radneys.
00:14:21Even the name
00:14:22sounds familiar.
00:14:23I can't quite
00:14:24put my finger on it,
00:14:25but I know
00:14:26I've met them
00:14:27somewhere before.
00:14:30Well,
00:14:31if you'd rather,
00:14:32we could have dinner
00:14:33sent down here.
00:14:36Oh, come on, baby.
00:14:37Knock off
00:14:38the silent treatment.
00:14:40I said I was sorry.
00:14:43Can't we go
00:14:44one place,
00:14:45one time
00:14:46and you don't make
00:14:47me feel like.
00:14:53Hey, darling.
00:14:55What is this?
00:14:57You know I love you.
00:14:59You do know that,
00:15:00don't you?
00:15:01Now, come on.
00:15:03Why don't you
00:15:04just be my baby
00:15:05and we'll forget
00:15:06about the whole thing.
00:15:07OK?
00:15:11We'll be late
00:15:12for dinner.
00:15:16Are you ready?
00:15:22You look
00:15:23absolutely gorgeous
00:15:24tonight.
00:15:26I really mean it.
00:15:29I know, Jerry.
00:15:31You always do.
00:15:44My grandfather
00:15:45was a lawyer.
00:15:46My father was a lawyer.
00:15:47They both graduated
00:15:48from Columbia.
00:15:49May I have the salt, please?
00:15:54Am I forgiven?
00:15:59For the millionth time.
00:16:02Can I have the salt now?
00:16:15What do you do,
00:16:16Mr. Mason?
00:16:19Does it really matter,
00:16:20Mr. Randi?
00:16:22What do you mean?
00:16:24Well, if I told you
00:16:25that I was a ditch digger,
00:16:26you'd form an opinion
00:16:27of me from that.
00:16:28And
00:16:29if I told you
00:16:30that I was a wealthy,
00:16:31powerful,
00:16:32industrial magnet,
00:16:33you'd form
00:16:34a different opinion
00:16:35based on
00:16:36the simple answer
00:16:37to that simple question.
00:16:39Instant status.
00:16:42So, I'll tell you what.
00:16:44I'm gonna let you
00:16:45figure it out for yourself.
00:16:48And you'll let me know
00:16:49what you come up with.
00:16:53I'll grant one thing.
00:16:54You don't seem stupid.
00:16:57That only proves
00:16:58that I could be
00:16:59a very smart ditch digger.
00:17:02David, dear.
00:17:04Don't eat so fast.
00:17:05Remember what the doctor said?
00:17:07I'll tell you
00:17:08what the doctor said.
00:17:09He said there's gonna be
00:17:10another dance in here tonight.
00:17:11Isn't that right, doctor?
00:17:12That's what the calendar says.
00:17:13I'm coming through
00:17:14hoping to find a partner
00:17:15for the first dance.
00:17:16Well, certainly.
00:17:17My wife would love to.
00:17:18She's a marvelous dancer.
00:17:21Perhaps a bit later, doctor.
00:17:24All right.
00:17:25Excuse me.
00:17:35Atlanta.
00:17:36Atlanta, Georgia.
00:17:37Have you ever been there?
00:17:39Many times.
00:17:40Atlanta.
00:17:41You know,
00:17:42I know a little blonde
00:17:43from Atlanta.
00:17:44Her name was Dixie
00:17:45something or other.
00:17:46Probably one of the best
00:17:47looking little blondes
00:17:48that I've...
00:17:49Excuse me.
00:17:51Well, that was before
00:17:52I was married, naturally.
00:18:00You'll have to excuse my wife.
00:18:02She's a little sensitive.
00:18:04Bless her.
00:18:09Atlanta.
00:18:111970?
00:18:13Huh.
00:18:14It'll come to me.
00:18:41Oh, it's been
00:18:42a long time, Liz.
00:18:45How long has it been?
00:18:47Just you and me, huh?
00:18:52What are you thinking about?
00:18:55Actually,
00:18:56I was thinking
00:18:57about Betty and the baby.
00:18:58David.
00:19:00What's the matter?
00:19:04They're gone, Elizabeth.
00:19:07Don't you understand?
00:19:08They're grown up
00:19:09and they're gone.
00:19:11Well,
00:19:12they're always gone.
00:19:14Oh, I see.
00:19:16I'm sorry.
00:19:18I'm sorry.
00:19:19I'm sorry.
00:19:21I'm sorry.
00:19:23I'm sorry.
00:19:24I'm sorry.
00:19:25I'm sorry.
00:19:26I'm sorry.
00:19:27They'll always be
00:19:28our children.
00:19:30For the past 25 years,
00:19:31it's been
00:19:32the children this
00:19:33and the children that.
00:19:35Their schools,
00:19:36their clothes,
00:19:37their anecdotes,
00:19:38their ailments.
00:19:39But...
00:19:40We started out
00:19:41as just two people, Elizabeth.
00:19:42Just the two of us.
00:19:43David.
00:19:44The children were
00:19:45something that came later.
00:19:48They're not our lives,
00:19:49Elizabeth.
00:19:50They're not you and me.
00:19:52They'll always be
00:19:53a big part of my life.
00:19:57And I was a big part
00:19:58of your life
00:19:59when we were first married.
00:20:00And then we had
00:20:01the children.
00:20:03But now we don't.
00:20:05They're all grown up
00:20:06and they're gone.
00:20:08And now we've got
00:20:09to get back to you
00:20:10and me, Elizabeth.
00:20:11We've got to.
00:20:14Because if we can't...
00:20:18If we can't?
00:20:23Well, then there's
00:20:25no reason
00:20:26for us staying together,
00:20:27is there?
00:20:31David.
00:20:33After all these years?
00:20:38Especially
00:20:39after all these years.
00:20:56Be a darling.
00:20:57Meet me later.
00:21:26Good night.
00:21:27See you on deck tomorrow.
00:21:29Good night, Jackie.
00:21:30See you tomorrow.
00:21:32You're protecting us, right?
00:21:33You're going to be on the beach.
00:21:34You want a nightcap?
00:21:37You want a nightcap?
00:21:39You want a nightcap?
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:42Okay?
00:21:43Okay.
00:21:44Oh, boy, oh, boy.
00:21:48Oh, boy.
00:21:50Oh, boy.
00:21:52Oh, boy.
00:21:53Oh, boy.
00:21:54Oh, boy.
00:21:551970, it's the year we got married.
00:22:17Do you happen to remember where we spent our honeymoon?
00:22:20Sure.
00:22:21Atlanta.
00:22:23Do you remember meeting Jerry Carter in Atlanta in 1970?
00:22:28Honey, the only thing I saw in Atlanta was you.
00:22:53The dance was over an hour ago.
00:23:08Do you think it's romantic, Doctor?
00:23:23The balmy breezes, the moon, the ocean?
00:23:28Depends on who you're with.
00:23:30At this particular moment, you happen to be with me.
00:23:37You happen to be married.
00:23:40And if I weren't?
00:23:43Then I think of balmy breezes and the moon and the ocean.
00:23:47Thank you, Doctor.
00:23:51You're a great morale booster.
00:23:54Good night, Doctor.
00:24:00And if you happen to see my husband, you might remind him that he's married, too.
00:24:37All right, continue to search that passageway.
00:25:04Well, we've searched every passageway, the baggage compartments, the holds, even the
00:25:30engine room.
00:25:31What about the chain lockers?
00:25:33Well, Captain, no one would go into one of the...
00:25:34We won't know that until we look, will we?
00:25:38No, sir.
00:25:42It has Jerry Carter's initials on it.
00:25:46Would you like me to show it to his wife?
00:25:49Please, Doctor.
00:25:50But don't alarm him necessarily.
00:25:53He may still be on the ship.
00:25:55Do you really think so?
00:25:58Between you and me?
00:26:00No.
00:26:10Where's Jerry this morning?
00:26:13I don't know exactly.
00:26:15Jerry hates breakfast.
00:26:16There is an oil shortage, you know, Mr. Radney.
00:26:19Well, I'm not talking oil, Mr. Mason.
00:26:21I'm talking energy.
00:26:33That's Jerry's.
00:26:34It was found lying on the deck.
00:26:36Mrs. Carter, why didn't you report your husband missing?
00:26:42I don't know exactly that he is missing.
00:26:44Well, when was the last time you saw him?
00:26:48Dinner last night.
00:26:50He didn't return to the stateroom at any time since then?
00:26:56You must have been worried.
00:26:59I think curious would be a better word.
00:27:01Mrs. Carter, we're on a ship in the middle of an ocean.
00:27:04Your husband is gone all night and your feeling is one of curiosity?
00:27:08Doctor, this is not the first time my husband didn't come home all night.
00:27:11At first I was worried.
00:27:13Now I am merely curious.
00:27:18I'm sorry, Mrs. Carter.
00:27:20I don't mean to be rude.
00:27:22But the captain is very concerned.
00:27:25Your husband may have fallen overboard.
00:27:32We're searching the ship.
00:27:33I'll let you know as soon as we have any information.
00:28:02I should have reported it.
00:28:24It's just that I thought he might be with another woman and I would look ridiculous.
00:28:35He liked to make me look ridiculous for some reason.
00:28:40I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.
00:28:45I forgot we were on a ship.
00:28:49People can fall off a ship.
00:29:00I feel like I've been cheated.
00:29:01All those things I've got stored up I was going to say to him someday.
00:29:05It's just not fair.
00:29:07It doesn't make sense.
00:29:08Things like that just don't happen in real life.
00:29:12People falling overboard.
00:29:16They just don't happen.
00:29:29Captain.
00:29:31Well?
00:29:32The cigarette case did belong to Mr. Carter.
00:29:35Why didn't you report him missing?
00:29:37Why did we have to find out from a steward?
00:29:39She didn't even know until I told her.
00:29:42Didn't know?
00:29:44Well, she said that there were many nights he didn't come home.
00:29:51Thank you, Doctor.
00:30:06Don't look so sad.
00:30:08Come on.
00:30:09We hardly knew Jerry Carter, honey.
00:30:12Well, it's not just Jerry Carter.
00:30:16It's how awful it must be to be down there in the water and call for help.
00:30:22And to just watch the ship get smaller and smaller.
00:30:30Well, why don't we go back to the cabin?
00:30:32Come on.
00:30:37Jimmy, I'm scared.
00:30:40Darling, you can't let it panic you.
00:30:42Come on.
00:30:46Jimmy?
00:30:51Jimmy, I want to have a baby.
00:30:53Just because some loudmouth fell overboard, you...
00:30:56No.
00:30:58Because...
00:31:00What if something happened to you?
00:31:03Like it happened to Jerry Carter.
00:31:09I wouldn't have anything.
00:31:11You'd have some lovely memories.
00:31:13It's not enough.
00:31:15I want to have a baby.
00:31:18We talked it over when we got married and we agreed.
00:31:20It was four years ago.
00:31:23It's like...
00:31:26We've been on a four-year honeymoon.
00:31:30What's so awful about that?
00:31:33Well, it's like trying to be sweet 16 forever.
00:31:36You just can't do it.
00:31:38We'll talk about it when we get back.
00:31:40No, I want to talk about it now.
00:31:41Honey, we're on a vacation.
00:31:43Now.
00:31:47Okay.
00:31:48If you want it now, the answer is no.
00:31:50No baby, not now or ever.
00:31:52Is that clear?
00:31:53Why not?
00:31:54Because I like things the way they are.
00:31:59I like us.
00:32:00I like what we are together.
00:32:04I don't want to share you.
00:32:11Well, if you just have to have the pattern of little feet,
00:32:13you're going to have to buy yourself a cocker spaniel.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:28Good morning, Doctor.
00:32:29Good morning.
00:32:30Mr. Kramer.
00:32:32It's nice to see you out on deck enjoying the sunshine.
00:32:35It's nice to be here.
00:32:37Oh, did you get my medical records?
00:32:40Oh, yes.
00:32:42Dr. Whitmer.
00:32:43Dr. Charles Whitmer.
00:32:44That's it.
00:32:45Dr. Whitmer.
00:32:46He sent your complete file.
00:32:47EKG, everything.
00:32:48Thank you, Doctor.
00:32:49Thank you very much.
00:32:50Enjoy yourself.
00:32:51Thank you.
00:32:52Yes.
00:33:12Where'd you get this?
00:33:35I brought it with me.
00:33:38It's not even noon yet.
00:33:42Don't you think you're rushing the cocktail hour a little?
00:33:44I'm bored.
00:33:46Bored?
00:33:47David, you've still got your work.
00:33:51But I don't have mine anymore.
00:33:53As you have pointed out, the children are grown up and gone.
00:33:57And I'm bored.
00:33:59Oh, please, Elizabeth.
00:34:01No, no, you're right.
00:34:02The magic is gone.
00:34:06All 30 years' worth.
00:34:08This may not be easy for you to swallow, but you were never the magic.
00:34:11The children were.
00:34:14And I thank you for them.
00:34:18Oh, all I ever was to you was chief cook and hostess with sleep-in privileges.
00:34:29Children were my whole life.
00:34:32Because without them, I wouldn't have had any life at all.
00:34:36Because you were always out to lunch.
00:34:42Now all of a sudden, it's just you and me, babe.
00:34:45Just the two of us.
00:34:48I'm sorry, David.
00:34:50That wouldn't really have to be magic.
00:34:52Look, Elizabeth, I really don't want to listen to you.
00:34:55Not this way.
00:35:03You can dish it out, but you can't take it, can you?
00:35:07What are you staring at?
00:35:09Excuse me.
00:35:15David, I'm sorry.
00:35:31Any scotch and the rocks, please.
00:35:46Here's to the women, God bless them.
00:35:49Amen.
00:35:55David, can I ask you a question?
00:35:57What?
00:36:00Are you happily married?
00:36:02The words happily and married contradict each other and should never be used in the same sentence.
00:36:21Pull!
00:36:30Pull!
00:36:33You do that very well.
00:36:37Well, it's really very simple.
00:36:39You just pretend the clay pigeons are people you don't like.
00:36:43Pull!
00:36:46Whoever he is, I'd hate to be in his shoes.
00:36:49Not really.
00:36:50I take it all out on the clay pigeons.
00:36:54Pull!
00:36:58Pull!
00:37:20Dr. Burke, you're saying it's murder.
00:37:22I'm just saying that two accidental deaths with no witnesses is more than a coincidence.
00:37:27You state in your official report that Mrs. Mason fractured her skull in a fall down the stairs.
00:37:33But you see, she could just as easily have been hit over the head with a heavy blunt object and dropped down the stairs.
00:37:39Then why don't you say that?
00:37:42Well, I couldn't be certain.
00:37:44I mean, I'm not an expert in forensic medicine.
00:37:48Anything is possible.
00:37:51You can't have it both ways, doctor.
00:37:53What is it, accident or murder?
00:37:56The only thing I can state with medical certainty is that Elizabeth Mason is certifiably dead.
00:38:03Then let's leave it at that until we get to Maracaibo.
00:38:07Yes, sir. And what about the other people at table 24, sir?
00:38:11Let them enjoy the rest of the cruise. They paid for it.
00:38:13No, they didn't.
00:38:15Not one person at that table paid for this trip.
00:38:18They won the cruise in a contest, all of them.
00:38:21How do you know that?
00:38:22They discussed it at dinner the first night.
00:38:27I wonder why I wasn't told.
00:38:30Drink?
00:38:31Oh, yes, thank you.
00:38:34Contests are usually coordinated through the public relations department of the steamship line.
00:38:40I would have been informed.
00:38:42Let me see.
00:38:43They said the name of the company that sponsored the contest.
00:38:48E&M Promotions.
00:38:51Never heard of them.
00:38:54Of course, that doesn't mean anything.
00:38:56I've been sailing out of Miami for eight years and just found out they had a football team, the Miami Porpoises.
00:39:02Dolphins, I think.
00:39:05Same generic family.
00:39:10Get me the address of that promotion company. I'll contact them by radio.
00:39:14Yes, sir. And what about the other four people, sir?
00:39:17What do you suggest? That we tell them someone's trying to kill them and lock them in their stateroom?
00:39:24Change the report to murder. And I'll do that.
00:39:34Get you that address, sir.
00:39:40All right.
00:40:10Mr. Mason, I just wanted you to know how sorry we are.
00:40:32Oh, thank you.
00:40:35And if there's anything we can do...
00:40:38Well, I... No, there's nothing. Thank you.
00:40:44Well, if you need us...
00:40:45You know, I never realized that there were so many forms to fill out.
00:40:58They're keeping her in the refrigerator.
00:41:04Come on, Mary. I said I was sorry.
00:41:07Why are you sorry, Jimmy? Because you said it or because you meant it?
00:41:12Look, a man falls overboard and all of a sudden you want a baby.
00:41:15Four years is not all of a sudden.
00:41:18Honey, you are not personally responsible for maintaining the current world population.
00:41:28Oh, God, Jimmy, I feel so sorry for you.
00:41:54Mrs. Carter?
00:41:56Mr. Mason?
00:41:59I owe you an apology, Mrs. Carter.
00:42:02I'm afraid I didn't fully appreciate how you must have felt until today.
00:42:08I know. I'm terribly sorry about your wife.
00:42:11Thank you. You mind?
00:42:15Of course, please.
00:42:20I've been thinking about Elizabeth.
00:42:23You know, we were married 31 years, last April 6th.
00:42:28Well, I guess I've been going over those years, past few hours, sort of replaying them in my own mind.
00:42:37Did you love your wife?
00:42:40After 31 years, yes, I loved her very much.
00:42:47You know, it's funny. I can tell you this.
00:42:51I wish I had told her.
00:42:58My husband was a scoundrel.
00:43:04That's a word I haven't heard in a long time, scoundrel.
00:43:08It's the only word I can think of that fits him perfectly.
00:43:15Look, I don't think I could face all those people and...
00:43:19Well, I was planning on having dinner in my room.
00:43:23Would you care to join me?
00:43:30Yes, I would. I'd like that very much.
00:43:35Oh, that would be very nice.
00:43:49Your drink, miss.
00:43:53I didn't order a drink.
00:43:55The gentleman ordered it.
00:43:57That gentleman?
00:43:58I don't know, miss. It was called in.
00:44:00I'd never heard of it before. He had to tell us how to mix it.
00:44:05It's called an Atlanta Blackout.
00:44:07He said to give it to you with his compliments.
00:44:10And to tell you he'd be waiting for you.
00:44:31Thanks.
00:45:01You're welcome.
00:45:30You're welcome.
00:45:59You're welcome.
00:46:28You're welcome.
00:46:54Who discovered the body?
00:46:55Mr. Mason.
00:46:57He was supposed to have dinner with him.
00:47:00All right, Captain.
00:47:03This one I will certify as murder.
00:47:06I've already notified the authorities in Miami.
00:47:08I asked them to give me all the information they can on the people at that table.
00:47:13I also notified the authorities in Caracas, asking them to take jurisdiction in the case.
00:47:22Caracas?
00:47:24Not the American authorities. State Department.
00:47:29This ship is Norwegian registry, doctor.
00:47:32Under maritime law, that means that the murders occurred in Norwegian territory.
00:47:37The United States has no jurisdiction in this case.
00:47:45What is it you're looking for, Dr. Burke?
00:47:51That.
00:47:55You see, the two bullets that killed Mrs. Carter went through her body, and yet I can't find a trace of them in this room.
00:48:01She must have been killed somewhere else and then brought to this cabin.
00:48:05Wrapped in those towels.
00:48:08That's very good.
00:48:10But where was she killed?
00:48:13I'll know that when we find the two bullet holes.
00:48:22Who has the key to that room?
00:48:24Just Mrs. Carter and the steward.
00:48:27Where are the other passengers from table 24?
00:48:29In the conference room on A deck. They are under guard.
00:48:32Good idea.
00:48:34Where are their state rooms?
00:48:36I will ask the purser.
00:48:39I'll make you a little bet.
00:48:41That they're all right in this corridor.
00:48:49I was just talking to her this afternoon. We were going to have dinner together.
00:48:53If this keeps up, that refrigerator is going to be stock full by the time we hit Maricabo.
00:49:01I'm sorry.
00:49:13Good evening.
00:49:14Captain, I'd like to know why we're being held prisoner.
00:49:17Mr. Barrera is not here to keep you in. He's here to keep other people out.
00:49:21The question was why?
00:49:23Mr. Mason, we have reason to believe someone is trying to kill you.
00:49:27Me?
00:49:28All of you.
00:49:33Excuse me.
00:49:34You see, we found out that there is no such company as E&M Promotions.
00:49:38It's just a post office box.
00:49:40Then where did the tickets come from?
00:49:42According to the Miami police, they were purchased from a travel agency with a postal money order.
00:49:47The whole thing seems to have been just a trick to get you here.
00:49:54Captain, I want off this ship immediately.
00:49:56I want you to radio for a plane to take me off.
00:49:57I'm sorry, Mr. Mason.
00:49:58Look, I don't care what it costs. Just do it.
00:50:00By the time that he could send a plane to us, we will have docked in Maricabo.
00:50:04Excuse me.
00:50:07The thing that I'm curious about is the reason for these murders.
00:50:11Is there something you all have in common?
00:50:13Maybe an enemy, someone you've all known at one time or another?
00:50:17No. Before this cruise, we hadn't even heard of each other.
00:50:19We were complete and total strangers.
00:50:22Jerry Carter said he remembered us from somewhere.
00:50:25Where, Mrs. Ratner?
00:50:27Atlanta, 1970.
00:50:31Well, can you think of something else? Anything else?
00:50:34No. No, that's all. Just Atlanta, Georgia, 1970.
00:50:41Yeah, but then he said it'll come to me like he was close to remembering.
00:50:46And then he was the first to die.
00:50:51I was there that year on a business trip. My wife and I drove down.
00:50:57We were there on our honeymoon in August.
00:51:01Second week in August?
00:51:04Yes.
00:51:08Are we just going to wait here to be killed?
00:51:11I've taken that into consideration, Mr. Rodney.
00:51:15I'm closing the ship down tight.
00:51:17Everyone will stay in their cabins until we dock.
00:51:20The rest of the passengers are being formed right now.
00:51:23Mr. Barrer, I want a guard in every corridor, every stairwell, every deck.
00:51:28I want every man who's not on duty standing watch.
00:51:31You will be personally responsible for the people in this room.
00:51:34Yes, sir.
00:51:35Excuse me.
00:51:37If you'll come with me, please.
00:51:47It's cold.
00:52:08It'll be okay. It'll be okay.
00:52:13I forgot my purse. I'll go get it.
00:52:16Mary Frances!
00:52:47Oh!
00:53:08Help me.
00:53:28Paul!
00:53:31Is this your idea?
00:53:33No, sir. Hers.
00:53:35You'll be all right. The decks are deserted.
00:53:44Mrs. Rodney, do you feel like talking?
00:53:48Depends on what you want to talk about.
00:53:52The people at Table 24?
00:53:54What about them?
00:53:56That's what I hoped you'd tell me.
00:53:59Basically, they were selfish.
00:54:02And they were totally insensitive.
00:54:06Including your husband?
00:54:10My husband's dead.
00:54:14You leave him alone.
00:54:20Paul!
00:54:30Paul!
00:54:48Mrs. Rodney, I was looking for you.
00:54:50Have you found something, Captain?
00:54:52No. Dr. Burke is still conducting an investigation.
00:54:55Dr. Burke?
00:54:57Yes.
00:54:58Is Dr. Burke also a detective?
00:55:01No, but he's very adept and very perceptive.
00:55:06That's not...
00:55:09really very comforting to those of us left, Captain.
00:55:35Oh, there's mine.
00:55:39I raided your inquiries to Miami.
00:55:42We should have an answer by the time we reach Maracaibo tomorrow evening.
00:55:46Good.
00:55:47Whose purse is this?
00:55:49It belonged to Sylvia Carter.
00:55:51It was found on deck after she was killed.
00:55:54She must have left it there.
00:56:07Sylvia Carter?
00:56:09If Sylvia Carter was murdered...
00:56:12Well, we don't know where, but her body was taken back to her cabin.
00:56:17Now, how did the murderer get in the cabin door...
00:56:20if her key was in the purse on deck?
00:56:23That's a good question.
00:56:47Yes?
00:56:48Stewardess, would you have dinner?
00:57:03Thank you.
00:57:31Who is it?
00:57:32Steward, sir.
00:57:33Would you have dinner?
00:57:34No.
00:57:47Oh, that's all right.
00:57:48I'll do it myself.
00:57:49Thank you.
00:57:50Yes, sir.
00:57:51Oh, by the way, we'll be tying up in about an hour.
00:57:53Maracaibo.
00:57:54Fine.
00:57:55Thank you.
00:57:56I'll be back for the table later.
00:58:27Who is it?
00:58:47Steward for the table, sir.
00:58:48Good evening, Mr. Mason.
00:59:18How are you feeling?
00:59:27Oh, I'm fine now, sir.
00:59:29You didn't see who hit you?
00:59:31No, sir.
00:59:32All I remember is standing in the passageway.
00:59:34Next thing I know, he's waking up with a gigantic headache.
00:59:43Whoever did it had to have come from one of these rooms.
00:59:47He couldn't have come all the way down the hall.
00:59:48Barrera would have seen him.
00:59:51Which one?
00:59:55You're dismissed.
00:59:57Thank you, sir.
01:00:04Captain Vettori.
01:00:09Thank you.
01:00:13The radio room contacted the Miami police.
01:00:16They find no record of the existence of a Joel D. Kramer.
01:00:20Kramer?
01:00:30Mr. Chabonet.
01:00:31Captain.
01:00:32Open it.
01:00:42Open it.
01:01:02Pay no attention to the name.
01:01:18Joel Kramer is not his real name.
01:01:20Even his address is next of kin.
01:01:22The name of the doctor he gave us to call in case of emergency.
01:01:25They're all phony.
01:01:26I've seen him on the deck.
01:01:29How about Atlanta, 1970?
01:01:32I don't think so.
01:01:36Until he came aboard this ship 938 of the day we sailed, Joel D. Kramer did not exist.
01:01:42Now, there were only six people aboard this ship that might know his real name.
01:01:46Five of them are dead.
01:01:48I'm sorry, doctor.
01:01:49I don't know.
01:01:50Would you like to hear the official version?
01:01:55Mr. Kramer lured six people aboard this ship with a phony contest.
01:01:59Murdered five of them.
01:02:01Then committed suicide by jumping overboard.
01:02:05A few minutes before we docked?
01:02:07Do you believe that?
01:02:09The only way I could convince the local authorities to assume jurisdiction was to tie it up in a neat package.
01:02:16Well, that's one way to get rid of a hot potato, isn't it?
01:02:18Throw it in the water.
01:02:19Dr. Burke.
01:02:21He did jump overboard.
01:02:24I'm not interested in official versions of jurisdiction, captain.
01:02:27Somebody killed five people on this ship.
01:02:29You just can't sweep that under a rug.
01:02:31Well, maybe they can, but I can't.
01:02:35You do whatever you think you have to, doctor.
01:02:38I'll help you any way I can.
01:02:41Unofficially, of course.
01:03:23Did you find something?
01:03:42Doctor?
01:03:45Mrs. Radley.
01:03:48Excuse me.
01:03:49I...
01:03:50Excuse me, I have to assure, I have phone calls to make and places to go.
01:04:11Well, thank you very much.
01:04:20I can be there by boat in an hour.
01:04:38I see.
01:04:40Oh, he has.
01:04:42Well, thank you very much.
01:04:50Excuse me.
01:05:00I'm Dr. Burke. I called you from Maricaibo.
01:05:03Oh, yes, sir.
01:05:04The gentleman I'm looking for, I'm not sure of his name, but he would have checked in in the last 24 hours.
01:05:10And he looks something like this.
01:05:12He would look exactly like that, sir.
01:05:14Mr. Kroger.
01:05:16I believe he's out on the beach.
01:05:44Good afternoon, Mr. Carter.
01:06:04Wow.
01:06:06Good afternoon, doctor.
01:06:08That's quite a coincidence.
01:06:10Not really.
01:06:13I thought you might need your passport.
01:06:20Poor Jerry.
01:06:22Deep in a watery grave.
01:06:25I'm afraid you've gone to a great deal of trouble for nothing, doctor.
01:06:29I wouldn't say it was for nothing.
01:06:33That was brilliant.
01:06:35The execution, the planning, absolutely flawless.
01:06:45But here you are.
01:06:47How'd you find me?
01:06:49The killer had a key to your stateroom.
01:06:52There were only three keys.
01:06:54The steward had one.
01:06:56One was in your wife's purse on deck.
01:06:59Jerry Carter had the third key.
01:07:02Excellent.
01:07:04And then there were the photographs of Table 24.
01:07:07I found three of them where they belonged.
01:07:10But the fourth was in Kramer's room, not Carter's.
01:07:16Very good.
01:07:18After that, it was a simple matter of matching descriptions on the passports.
01:07:22Height, weight, color of eyes.
01:07:25I got two that were very close.
01:07:27So here I am.
01:07:30Well, in a way, I'm glad, really.
01:07:33An artiste would like to think that there's at least one person in the world who understands and appreciates his work.
01:07:40Maybe I can start a fan club.
01:07:43No doubt you mean the police.
01:07:47There's nothing they can do to me.
01:07:50Nothing anyone can do to me.
01:07:53Five Americans murdered in Norwegian territory.
01:07:57En route to a Venezuelan port.
01:08:00Killed by a dead man who's now in Dutch territory.
01:08:05Would you care to walk, doctor?
01:08:14A complex maritime legal question.
01:08:17Would take the international courts years just to figure out who has jurisdiction in the case.
01:08:22But you knew all that before you came here, didn't you?
01:08:25Then why'd you come?
01:08:27Find out the reason.
01:08:29Why did you do it?
01:08:31Very simple.
01:08:33I wanted to kill my wife.
01:08:34Why?
01:08:36Only a man who's never been married would ask a question like that.
01:08:40There's another woman.
01:08:42According to your wife, there were lots of other women.
01:08:46But this was special.
01:08:48Very special.
01:08:53What about the other people you killed?
01:08:56Merely to confuse the issue.
01:08:58One murder is much easier to solve than five.
01:09:01Don't you agree?
01:09:03So you killed three perfect strangers.
01:09:08Your wife was heavily insured, wasn't she?
01:09:11You're on the wrong track.
01:09:13They were all heavily insured.
01:09:15You see, I worked for the insurance company.
01:09:17So I had to pick the names very carefully.
01:09:19Find some common ground.
01:09:21Something in the past.
01:09:23That would be Atlanta, 1970.
01:09:26Exactly.
01:09:27You see, the police will start with a crime and work backwards.
01:09:30What did these people have in common?
01:09:32What happened in Atlanta?
01:09:34How did their paths cross?
01:09:36The answer?
01:09:37They didn't.
01:09:39So no matter how you approach this crime, doctor, it's absolutely flawless.
01:09:44An enigma within a puzzle.
01:09:46A mobius strip of circumstances.
01:09:48Beginning at the end and ending at the beginning.
01:09:51The perfect crime.
01:09:53Except for me.
01:09:57What can you do?
01:10:01I can tell them that Mr. Carter is Mr. Kramer.
01:10:04He is now Mr. Kroger.
01:10:07Mr. Carter is dead, remember?
01:10:09So is Mr. Kramer.
01:10:11And very soon Mr. Kroger will disappear.
01:10:14I'll have a new name.
01:10:16The name that appears on your wife's insurance policy is beneficiary.
01:10:19No, no, doctor.
01:10:21Her brother is the beneficiary.
01:10:23And on your insurance policy?
01:10:25No.
01:10:26I left everything to my dear late wife.
01:10:28Probably go to her brother too.
01:10:31You see?
01:10:32Nothing is like you think it is.
01:10:35And that's why no one will believe you.
01:10:38I don't understand.
01:10:40Well, doctor, try to think of it as a beautifully colored rainbow.
01:10:44You can see the whole thing clearly defined.
01:10:47And yet it isn't there.
01:10:50It isn't really there at all.
01:10:53You're hiding something.
01:10:56Now, if this thing was as perfect as you say it is,
01:10:58why would you have to hide anything?
01:11:00There's more to it.
01:11:02There's something I haven't found out yet.
01:11:04And it's the reason for this thing.
01:11:06But I promise you, Mr. Carter, I'll find it.
01:11:10Yes, doctor, I think maybe you will.
01:11:15A million dollars.
01:11:17One million dollars.
01:11:19How?
01:11:21I'm sorry, doctor.
01:11:23I'm afraid that your time has run out.
01:11:29Don't bother.
01:11:31This island is noted for its secluded beaches.
01:11:52Where did you come from?
01:11:55I knew you'd find him.
01:11:57I wanted to be here when you did, so...
01:12:00I followed you.
01:12:02Well, your timing was perfect anyhow.
01:12:15Mrs. Radney.
01:12:18Mrs. Radney.
01:12:21Who's the beneficiary of your husband's insurance policy?
01:12:30Please don't load that gun, Mrs. Radney.
01:12:33And what was the value of that policy?
01:12:37One million dollars?
01:12:41How long have you and Jerry been planning this?
01:12:46Planning what?
01:12:48Must have seemed like a great idea.
01:12:51Carter gets rid of his wife and your husband.
01:12:54And then the two of you split your husband's insurance.
01:12:58At least that's what Carter thought.
01:13:01And I suspect you were planning to kill him all along, weren't you?
01:13:06I really don't know what you're talking about.
01:13:11You said you were special.
01:13:14Very special.
01:13:22Shall we go?
01:13:40THE END
