Captioning NZ 2003 1 Merry Christmas, Captain Ingram. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, sir. The police told you about the child? Yes, they did. I'm sorry, but we'll need a formal identification. Yes, of course. I should warn you. Most of the injuries are facial. The police said that my son died on impact. Is that correct? Not quite. Just after the ambulance arrived. How long was that? He was unconscious - unaware of pain. How long, Doctor? About 20 minutes. It's her husband. Please talk to her. Rae, it's John. Try it again. Rae, it's me. It's John, Rae. > (RAE SINGS) "Down came the rain and washed poor Wincy out "Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain "And Incy Wincy Spider crawled up the spout again." That's a funny one. Will you sing, too? No. Oh, come on! (SINGS) "Incy Wincy Spider... Incy Wincy Spider. "Crawled up the water... Spout! "Down came the rain (BOTH SING) "And washed poor Wincy out "Out came the sunshine.... (SHOUTS PLAYFULLY) "And dried up all the rain..." Danny, Danny! Get back in your seat. CAR HORN DANNY! DANNY! (Screams) No! No! NO! It's OK. It's all right. (Sobs uncontrollably) I was holding him. I know. I know. John, I could smell his hair. Stop it. No, I can't. I'm so scared. (WHISPERS) I'm so scared. He's gone. He's gone forever. We can never get him back. It will take a long time. You know. They warned us. Let's go home. Please. It'd be worse. I can't let go. You can! No, I can't. Don't say that. Now, look. We've got weeks and weeks of calm days, calm seas. And we're going to get strong. And when you're strong,... then we'll go home and we'll start again. Won't we, Rae? Say it. Say it, Rae. Won't we? DOG BARKS OUTSIDE DOG KEEPS BARKING What's wrong, Ben? (BEN BARKS) (BEN BARKS) (BEN BARKS) Come on, Ben. What was it? Nothing. Just the dog. Is there any wind? Not a whisper. So, what day is it today? Thursday or Friday. One of those days. Oh, look at that. First boat in three weeks. She's been through some weather. Is there anybody on deck? I can't see anyone. I'll call them. Do you have to? I like it like this. Just the two of us. So do I. But look at her, Rae. That boat's in trouble. Black schooner to my east. This is yacht 'Saracen', Victor Keeler 2762. Position 1616 south, 17647 west. Do you read me? Over. John. John. Yo! I saw something between here and the boat. What is it? A turtle? No. It's bigger. See anything? Not yet. There it is. It's a dinghy. Adrift? No. There's a man in it. (BEN BARKS) Stay there! We'll drop down to you. Hear me? Slip your oars! Get the fender, darling. Stand off! Take it easy. Get him some water, darling. Here you are. Thanks. I'm Hughie Warriner. John Ingram. My wife, Rae. Hi. I'm 32 days outward bound from Papeete. I only bought her three months ago. I planned to cruise around the Pacific. Who would have thought? What's your trouble, Mr Warriner? She's going down. She won't last the morning. Are you sure? Yeah, she's sinking. The water's hit your engine? My engine, the radio, the bulkhead, galleys... everything. You were my only chance. See what Mr Warriner needs and get him to bed. Where are you going? Well, um... I ought to get over there. How many people on board? Nobody, I'm alone. I'm it. You tried to cross the Pacific on your own? No. There were six of us. The others died 10 days ago. One by one. It happened in a day. What happened? Ever thought how life hinges on the smallest things? Even as a kid, I hated salmon. Was it canned salmon? Yeah. We thought it was the tourist trots. Until Chantal looked at her hand... and said Picasso should have painted it. It had seven fingers. Double vision. Sounds like botulism. What's that? It's a lethal form of food poisoning. Yeah, well, I tried everything. There's no treatment. Not in a small boat 1,200 miles from land. Well... When you're ready, Mr Warriner. We'd better salvage your gear. My gear? You're looking at it. There's nothing to salvage. Everything was ruined by the water. There must be something. Give me a break! You know what happened? I can guess. They've been dead for days. You know what it's like? Try to forget. I mean... Look, I can't go back. I can't go back there right now... ever. I understand. Why don't you get some sleep? Thank you. I'm really sorry to ruin your day. # I sometimes see you pass outside my door. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) # Hello. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) # Is it me you're looking for? # I can see it in your eyes. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) # I can see it in your smile, # and I want to tell you so much ` # I love you. # You all right? Yes. I'm fine. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. This is interesting stuff. Listen to this. (READS) 'South Sea island cruise. Four women wanted for photo assignment. Must be attractive and broad-minded.' You don't like him. I hadn't thought about it. John! Imagine what he's been through. Whichever way I turn it, I can't swallow it. Any reason? Just 25 years at sea. Shhh! I'm going on board her. You can't do that. He's asleep. He'll hear the engine. I'll take the dinghy. Load the gun. Keep it with you. What? Rae, just do it, please. OK. Back soon. Bye. (BEN BARKS) Wait a sec. Go on. Take it. One, two... (BARKS) Shh! Shh! OK. Go! Bring it back. SNAPPING NOISE (SNIFFS) Phew! Rae!

LAID-BACK ACOUSTIC GUITAR Where's John? You may say, "What'd I need it for?" If I could answer you... What? John ` my husband! Maybe it's wise... Where is he? He's gone. (GASPS) Shit. What have you done to him? Nothing! He went on board her. We've got to go back! He's only got himself to blame ` he should've trusted me. That's always been my problem. MUSIC DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! Please don't shout. I can't tell people's real emotions... OK! ..until it's too late! Turn...the...boat..around! Um...where...shall...we...go? TURN AROUND! You're being very aggressive! That doesn't work on a small boat! You may say, "What'd I need it for?" And if I could answer you And maybe it's wise... I was watching you when you were sleeping. I must tell you, your face fascinates me. Even when you're 80, Rae,... you'll still be a beautiful woman. I, er, studied art for... for a time. Something I've found is that painters,... when they approach their subjects,... they look at the face from behind,... to see what's holding it up. And, er... and you've got magnificent bone structure. God! "Magnificent"! Shit! Sounds like something you'd say at a cocktail party. I should've given you my card! (CLEARS THROAT SUGGESTIVELY) I just knew we'd get along, didn't you, Rae? Rae! What's wrong? Would you just tell me one thing? Sure! I just need to know if that boat is sinking. Sinking? Well, the past tense would do! Oh, God! But, yeah! It is. Why? Don't you believe me? Of course I believe you. That's why we've got to go back. Back? To get John. Back there? Yeah ` right now. Uh-huh? No, Rae, no! OK? That's over! Erase that one from memory and start again! There's no going back, Rae! No ` don't say that! He'll drown, Hughie! Now you're doing it again! That boat's sinking! That's not MY fault! What about those people? Huh? There wasn't any food poisoning, was there? You want to do this now? All right. They tried to kill me, Rae. They tried to sock the light out of me! Who? All of them! Look, nobody wants to kill you, Hughie. What? Repeat that! I said nobody wants... You mean, I just imagined it! No! I meant that it must be a mistake. The mistake is, you think I'm making this up! No! No, I don't! You sound so much like them, it's scary! They tried to kill me! Understand? Yeah. Yeah, I understand.
