00:43Do you all right?

00:58.

01:05But I'm going to hit you and you missed hit the mouth of the torch but it's

01:10a lucky thing he got you to be finished but you think it was maybe the man in

01:14the dinghy last night but make you think that well I had

01:18a red signaling torch what was he looking for the kind of it money might be used as

01:22evidence against him but what not you to go get some sleep we have

01:26a much like that.

02:26A.

02:40Night but that means he does not. Ignore him I am.

02:46That how long would be with the fishing fleet for some type of a couple of days

02:49get the material for the article. I do have I can give

02:53it up. What's wrong with him I can get the message that you felt that you want to do

02:58something just the way.

03:08The red light flashing over there.

03:15The signaling here at night.

03:18The business. Sounds like

03:20a dinghy. Certainly didn't want me company well I'd like some company for dinner

03:25who's coming below.

03:42Looks like money floating in the water.

03:47Well. If you can pick it up.

04:06Good fishing today looks like money or.

04:10Is money. No identification at all that means we can

04:16keep it that these are American hundred dollar bill right nothing but hundreds.

04:24Count of it is probably part of the real thing but it was dry but not after thinking

04:28about it kind of it money all right. I have something to do with

04:34a boat last night could have done with the rest to get away from it what are we going

04:38to do now. Let's get over the fishing fleet that might be what I think it was headed.

04:47For.

04:48The.

04:50The.

04:51The.

05:16The.

05:22Yeah I'm down well I think it's going to be yeah I know I'd like to talk to you

05:28I've got no time for interviews but. It was important.

05:33That it's better for you. All right I'll come as you are again.

05:42I have to look more like

05:44a pirate.

05:53My nephew Jim. Now what do you want I wanted to tell you we found something in

05:58the water. Did you drag me up here just to tell you think that's important.

06:04Now you can wait till I'm ready come on Jim.

06:06Come on. My gosh where'd you get this money.

06:14Got wet we fished it out of the sea over this morning out of the sea it's kind of

06:19a U.S. money.

06:23We think it came from a dinghy we saw last night what are you building up to captain

06:27it was too far from land to think you still don't make sense that dinghy could have

06:31come from one of your boats are you crazy why would anyone want to smuggle U.S.

06:35counterfeit money out of Australia or maybe into Australia people here are not

06:39so familiar with the currency it's easier to pass that you better think of another

06:42way of getting yourself a story what I know your type all you want to start and

06:47you just don't care you get it why would I do such a thing because you're miserable

06:51like all writers all you want to do is to make your story more interesting all

06:54you're after is publicity I think we'd better forget it that's what I intend to

06:58do forget it but let me give you a word of advice captain I can't order you out

07:02of these waters but keep away from me fair enough but I intend to call the police

07:08in on this mister you do just that hold on Jeff suppose he's right he's so phony

07:16he smells suppose the crook is part of the fleet if Wells calls him on the radio

07:21then our boy will hear it for sure and he'll be warned I don't care what Wells

07:25wants I want him out of the way all right but let him go to the fleet that way the

07:30crook will never get wise to the fact that we're on to him now look I just want him

07:33and his boat out of here well all right but as long as he's got to stick around till

07:37tomorrow least we can do is treat him decently you treat him decently if you want to as far

07:41as I'm concerned he's just a cheap publicity hound

07:47Captain Wells! Captain Wells!

07:51Don't take him seriously he's not himself lately the fish are not funny he's a bit upset

08:02You all right there captain? Sorry I'd like to see him when he is himself

08:08Should I radio the police? No it's too late to make the brief tonight

08:12we'll take the money out there tomorrow

08:21William? Is that you there William?

08:51William get the spotlight put the spotlight on him

09:02Is that you all right? How's the life?

09:06Burton Glass what did he hit you with? He missed he hit the mast with his torch

09:25Well that's a lucky thing if he got you you'd be finished who do you think it was?

09:29Maybe the man in the dinghy last night what makes you think that?

09:33Well he had a red signaling torch what was he looking for?

09:36A can of his money might be used as evidence against him

09:39Well what now? You two go and get some sleep William and I will stand watch

09:43Good night then Good night

10:03William there he goes again he's using oars so he won't be hurt

10:20He won't get away this time

10:50He won't get away this time

11:20He won't get away this time

11:50He won't get away this time

12:20He won't get away this time

12:50He won't get away this time

13:20He won't get away this time

13:23He won't get away this time

13:26He won't get away this time

13:38He won't get away this time

13:41He won't get away this time

13:44He won't get away this time

13:47He won't get away this time

13:59Alright let's have it what's the story?

14:02I don't know anything

14:04Now look Jim I'm warning you

14:06I've got every right to be out of my own boat without some maniac trying to ram me

14:12We found this on his boat

14:14It's the one he used to flash red signals with

14:16He left to use it again last night and nearly framed me with it

14:19Come on but that's a bit far fetched

14:21Anybody can have a torch

14:23How can you tell one torch from another?

14:25Here's the dent you made in it when you hit the mast over there

14:27Here's the paint off the mast trapping

14:29I'll beat you just for nothing

14:32That's confusing me

14:34I promise you he's gonna talk

14:36I can't

14:38They'll kill me

14:40Who's they?

14:42I ask you who's they?

14:46Mike

14:53Mike

14:55Get on the radio to the police and get them out here in a helicopter

14:57Okay sir

14:59Ready to talk now

15:01That's just a sample of what you'll get unless you tell us the whole story

15:05I'll tell you but I don't know much

15:07Where are you going this morning?

15:08To make a pickup

15:09From whom?

15:11I don't know

15:13What do you mean you don't know?

15:14It's the truth

15:16They throw the money over the side of a pleasure boat that passes every two weeks

15:20Mike when I go in to pick it up they've already gone I've never seen anyone

15:23What's the signal for?

15:25To tell them that I'm there

15:27Oh

15:28They slow down they throw this watertight bag over the side

15:32Then I go in and pick it up

15:34Tie the bag under the pier and someone comes and picks it up

15:37But I don't know who

15:40Why Jim?

15:42Why?

15:44Money

15:46Well you know how tough things have been for us

15:48Now don't give me that it's tough for every man out here and they don't turn crooked

15:52Sure

15:53What now?

15:55You said you were going to a pickup when I told you

15:57Yes

15:58After I lost the pickup the other night I radioed the pleasure boat to come back in this morning

16:02What time's the due?

16:03About now

16:05From which direction?

16:06North east

16:08Wear the stocking cap when you go out to meet the pleasure boat

16:10Yeah

16:12William

16:13Get the dinghy ready

16:15What are you going to do?

16:17I'm going out to meet that yacht

16:18Are you crazy?

16:19They'll kill you

16:21I've never seen your nephew

16:22I'll wear his cap

16:23There's a good chance I'll find something out

16:25Be careful

16:26It's a deadly game you're playing

16:28You keep on the radio for a week

17:10I want to come aboard and talk to you

17:21Just stay where you are and be quiet

17:23Do you want to wake everyone?

17:24It's been a discovery

17:25What sort of a discovery?

17:26Wait

17:27Rover

17:28What's going on here?

17:30Just a quiet gas line sir

17:32Nothing to worry about

17:33I thought I told you that I wanted to know everything that happened on my boat

17:36Do you want to wake her up sir?

17:38What is all this?

17:39A masquerade party?

17:42Captain Dan Wells of the off-sea train

17:44Well what's all this about?

17:46First of all, who are you sir?

17:47Harris Carter, owner and captain of this boat

17:50In that case, you're the man I want to talk to

17:52Your boat's being used for illegal purposes

17:54What?

17:55That's right

17:56This man of yours is using your boat for a counterfeit money operation

17:59It's impossible

18:03I have a bag of counterfeit money right here to prove it

18:06This man of yours threw it overboard a few minutes ago

18:08I also have his partner on my yacht

18:11What have you got to say about this?

18:12This man is some kind of nut

18:14I was down in the engine room when I came up to some air

18:16Saw this man tickling so I stopped the boat

18:18Sounds very saddening to me

18:20Captain, I want to get to the bottom of all this

18:23Come aboard and we'll get the police

18:24They're already on their way here in a helicopter

18:26I'd like to see you aboard the sea train

18:28Fine, I'll be there

18:30Can you handle this man on the boat too?

18:31Yes, I think so

18:32Bob

18:33Bob, take the wheel and head her over

18:36Come with me

18:42Captain Scott

18:43He's agreed to have the entire matter investigated

18:45Good

18:47I just found out the police can't come by helicopter

18:49They're coming by launch in a couple of hours

18:51What's all this about?

18:53What do you mean what's all this about?

18:54I just brought you out there

18:55You're trying to tell me you didn't speak to me half an hour ago?

18:58Mister, I've never seen you before in my life

19:01Then why did you stop here?

19:02Because you weighed me down

19:05Isn't your name Harris Carter?

19:07My name's Peter Mordesman

19:08Now I'd like to get moving if you don't mind

19:10Just a minute

19:11Don't you have a crewman named Roper?

19:13Roper?

19:14Bob

19:15Bob

19:17This is my crewman

19:19That's not the one I mean

19:21It's the only one I've got

19:23Bob, you ever seen that man before?

19:26Never

19:27Do you mind if we search your boat?

19:28I most certainly do

19:30Never heard of such stupid nonsense in all me life

19:32Bob, get out of the way

19:46Why did he change the subject?

19:48Nobody knows the helicopter is coming

19:50He thinks he can get away before the police launch gets here

19:52He's headed for the open sea

19:54Captain Scott, do you think your men can head him off?

19:56You bet they can

19:58We'll either ram him or turn him back

20:00My boat's a lot tougher than that little tub

20:03OK, radio your men then

20:05Right

20:06Duke

20:07William

20:08Get around the way

20:09Yes, Captain

20:31Faster, Roper, faster

20:39He's getting away

21:01Scott

21:02Captain Scott

21:04You're next, drop your nets

21:31Well, if you're out, then I'll be in jail

21:33I thought the police would never get here

21:35I'm sorry you left, you had to be involved

21:37Ah, it's not the first time he's been in trouble

21:39Mike

21:42Speaking of trouble, you owe me a dollar

21:44What for?

21:45For your attempt to do the dishes and I did them

21:47OK

21:48I'll be back

21:49I'll be back

22:03You would?
