Bernie, seriously! Is this where they asked us to meet?
Yeah, what do you mean? Oh! I think I see her.
Where? Oh! Its gotta be her!
Gus, what are we gonna do?
Aren't we gonna grab a milkshake? Isn't that really why we here?
Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.
Alright! Nite's gonna be big for us.
So?
You think I should've worn the other shirt? You look nice.
I do not know, Gus, maybe, what if she doesn't wanna look at me or somethin'?
Bernie, come on. Are you sure, you serious? What about her?
Aren't you dyin' to see what she looks like?
She could be a dog. No, she ain't a dog.
It coule be.
I know what she looks like. She's ain't a dog.
So, you been talking to her for weeks on the phone, right?
Yeah. Right?
Yeah.
She likes ya, she's been talkin' to you, Bernie.
And I don't you gotta worry about her gettin' go look at ya. That ain't never been your problem.
Let's go.
Come on.
Should have worn the other shirt.
I'm the one taking the risk,
doubling with some girl, I saw never spoke to, let alone seen!
I'm the one who ain't sure why Miriam would double date anyway!
Maybe she's not sure about me yet.
How could anybody not be sure about you, Bernie? Yeah. Thanks, Gus.
Oh! Yeah, don't go telling anything to the guys at the station about this.
It's not like you've never been on a date before.
All set there?
Ahh...excuse me?
Are you Miriam?
No. I'm her friend.
She's...
Hi. How you doin'? I'm Gus. Catherine.
Well, we'll talk later.
Bye.
Hi.
Wait!
You're Bernie Webber, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm Bernie.
Hey, you two! Let's go grab a drink.
You wanna go? Sure.
Hey, how you doin'?
I'm Gus. I, eh...
for a minute there I thought it was a smoking barmaid calling from that booth.
'Cause it's on your jacket. Oh!
Bernie?
Miriam's never been on a boat. She's scared of the water.
Is she never?
I told her, I dunno how she's gonna date a guy in the coast guard.
I'm not scared. I live on the Cape.
Don't worry, Mariam. You know...we all get scared out there.
I'm not afraid of the water, Bernie.
Scares me at night, that's all, you know.
You can't see what's underneath.
Just more water.
You know, I get funnier as the night goes on.
Why...why didn't you wanna meet other day with...
Why...why did you wait so long?
I didn't know if you'd be a...
If I what?
You know? No.
You are so handsome. I didn't know you'd be attracted to me.
Oh God! No, Mariam! You're exactly how I pictured you.
Yeah? Oh! Yeah.
Better!
You know, my brother he always says, when you know, you just know.
Which one? All of it, I guess you know everything.
No, I mean which brother.
Oh! I...
Ah...Paul. My brother Paul.
He's the one who fought over in Germany, right? In Germany, yeah.
He is the oldest. Father's favorite, and...
All three of my brothers fought in the war. He is your father's what?
We should get Miriam on a boat tonight. What do you say, buddy?
We take up the Dory. It will be fantastic.
You know we can't do that, Gus. We could get into trouble.
Come on, Bernie! It will be fun.
Rules are rules.
No. We don't have to go out far! 83 00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:49,278 Just to say a sweet girl was on a boat.
A row boat? No.
No, no. We're are not... Small boat sails...
How about one of those bigger boats? Hide out the dock?
If Bernie is with me, we can do it. An old fishing boat?
Thoso fishermen don't want us around. Unless we're pullin' them in.
They think they own the Goddamn water. They are not really very nice.
Come on! Don't be such a fathead, Mariam. Yeah!
Let's go out on the Dory. What's there to be afraid of?
What's underneath, right? Hmm...uh.
Hey Mr.Stello, How's it goin'?
Hey, Bernie. Mr.Ryder.
Umm, you see...see that cute girl sittin' over there?
One with the coat? Looks like a bear bunny.
Yeah. Can't miss her.
Said the same thing myself! Funny you should say that, yeah.
Looks like Smokey, right? Yeah, Smokey the Bear.
I don't know no Smokey, Bearnie.
Oh! It's just a cartoon.
Anyway! Mr.Stello, she thinks she's scared to go on a boat.
And I don't think we should take a Dory. And I don't want her to get sick on that nice big coat.
So I was wondering if...
So, you wanna take her to Anna G around the harbor?
Yeah.
Can't roll on that Dory, even if you wanna. Right Bernie?
Carl! Stop.
Here I'm workin', my birthday's comin'. My sister is now living in my house.
How's it goin' with you, Bernie?
That's enough, Carl. He did all he could.
I am sorry, Mr.Nickerson.
Didn't mean to upset you. Just wanted to ask Mr.Stello about borrowin' a boat.
Got ya. Got you.
Give me your hands.
Its ok.
(VAYA CON DIOS BY ANNE MURRAY)
* Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping * * Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping *
* Vaya Con Dios, my darling * * May God be with you, my love *
Follow my arms, ok?
Stay with me.
It's...it's all about the rhythm.
So, it is ah...so it's ah... Here we go.
One, two, three. Right, left, right.
One, two, three.
I can't one, two, three...this!
Let's just sit down, Bernie! No, sweetheat, just look...
all you need to just relax and be patient and settle the way in.
Here, just look. Just hold my hand, you feel that?
Just listen to the music...right?
And...one, two, three
* Each night I 'll say a pray'r * * A pray'r to guide you *
You're doing great.
* To hasten every lonely hour of ev'ry lonely day *
* Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow * * But the memories we share are there to borrow *
* Vaya Con Dios, my darling *
Will you marry me?
* Vaya Con Dios, my darling *
What?
* Vaya Con Dios, my darling *
Will you marry me?
No.
* Vaya Con Dios, my darling * * Vaya Con Dios... *
Mariam! Hold on!
It's cold, sweetheart. You sure you don't wanna go back inside?
The...the band's not through.
It's cold. You feel that? There's a storm coming.
Ok?
OK? What? OK? Let's get married. I just don't wanna...
Don't wanna what?
It's only been a few months and it's still winter afterall.
And, look...you know, there's a storm coming. It's just like this one come through last year.
What does that...
I heard it's gonna miss us.
Yeah, maybe not. You never know.
Some people are just not cut out for this.
Sometimes you go out and you don't come back.
Are you talking about the storm or marriage, Bernie?
I think I'm talking about the storm, right?
You are scared of a storm?
No.
I don't wanna disappoint anybody.
And...
I do not wanna lose you. I love you.
So...
yeah, let's get married.
You sure?
Oh! Yeah.
When?
What? You want me to pick a date? No. When do you wanna get married?
April 16th. OK?
Ok! April 16th it is.
But...but I gotta ask permission from Cluff first . You gotta ask permission?
Yeah, it's...it's from my commanding Officer. It's Coast Guard regulation.
But promise, I will ask him tomorrow.
Ok, Bernie.
Let's get you home.
Maybe we can dance.
Ah! Look at that! It's already started to snow. Hmm?
Can you hear me over this humming, Captain?
Now that fracture they welded last month, that's not gonna hold in this seas.
Takes about a jolt to fracture again.
I don't have to go on tech, Captain. I can hear it right down from here.
That weld is really hummin'.
It's hummin', sir...the weld is...hummin'. I like to take it down to three knots, please.
If we do not slow down, Captain, we may not have the...
position to hold.
Ah! No problem, Cap.
Holdin' at seven knots. Thank you, sir.
Hey, Pop? I hear it, right.
You wanna go up on deck and look at those crack rusters holdin' up those welds together?
You might as well go get a hat, Popo.
What did he say?
He says he would like you to consider takin' in a hat with you as well.
Get some sleep.
No! We rockin' the boat!
Hey, Pops?
We know about this weather! It's killing me and young Eldon here.
Tiny, sure it's the weather? Maybe it's your singin'.
* Boy! People said sit down * * Sit down, you are rockin' the boat *
Come on.
* People said sit down * * Sit down, you are rockin' the boat *
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Ah! It's gonna get worse.
Jimmy? I didn't make it top side. That weld can't hold in these seas.
You gotta slow her down.
I'm callin' the captain back.
It's comin' in.
Ok pops? Yeah.
Go up!
We gotta hull fracture in the engine room.
All hands muster your mattresses, blankets! Whatever you can get your hands on.
Tudor?
Yeah, boy?
I can't get anyone on the bridge.
I need you to go up tell the captain that there is a 18 foot fracture in our hull.
Tell him these pumps can hold, but put 'em in port before they wreck.
Captain don't understand me, Will.
I know he doesn't understand ya, he doesn't listen to anyone, anyway.
Jesus! Mary and Joseph!
Cold out there? Yeah.
Still trying to fix that daft thing? Yeah.
Oh! Come on, Fritzy! It's useless.
Let the guy who fixed it, come fix it.
I would if he would show up.
What's this on the radio, ship breakin' up?
That's the Fort Mercer.
Fort...Fort Mercer? She's a big lady, she's a T2 tanker.
It was out on radio, coupla hours ago. Apparently she's got a big crack in her hull.
It's pillin' oil all over the place.
She is about 20 miles east off of Nantucket.
It sounds like Boston and Nantucket send over their entire fleet. We could be next.
They're saying gail force winds 50 or 60 mph!
Yeah? Yeah.
It's gonna be a mess.
Oh! Bernie, Bernie? Umm... Miriam called for ya.
Yeah. Ok.
Good luck, pal.
Yeah? Mr.Cluff.
It's me...Bernie, sir.
Webber, pick yourself a crew. Go out there, help them fishermen secure their boat at the pier.
Yeah, sir.
Sir, I need...need to ask you a question.
Need a permission about...about a girl.
Permission? Permission...for a girl?
Mr.Cluff, sir it's working now.
Yeah, sir. Not now, Webber!
But, you know sir. It is not some girl, sir. Not now, Webber.
We're back up.
Cluster here Mercer rescue right?
And this here another blip, 2 miles from here?
We must still be gettin' phantom echoes!
How we supposed to tell, one of them is out there?
When's that technician comin' fixin' this, Patrick? And where's Chief Bangs?
Alright! It's Fitzgerald, sir.
Chief Bangs is in the mess hall, sir.
You meant to follow my accent cause I'm not from around here.
No, Mr.Cluff.
Why are still standin', Webber? Sir, but...
Take Livesey with you, and top them fishing boats.
Yeah, sir. You want me to go with Webber, sir?
To secure fishing boats?
You didn't hear me, Livesey? Yeah, you with Webber.
Sorry, Reg! His orders, you know.
That's enough time, what do you think, huh?
We're takin' up water, we gotta launch some lifeboats.
Why you gotta be such a jackass, Broom?
The least we can do is pray for the Captain, Chief Collagen...
rest of them men. All good men.
Eh? We good men, Cory?
Ah! Don't get me wrong,
prayin' is great, but it aint everything.
We actually need to do something.
Sybert? A word.
That hothead Brown, he wants to launch the lifeboats.
Lifeboats? Quirey, he wants to do nothing.
The between of them, the two of them are gettin' worked up.
Now, I figure that you know the boat better than anybody. You are practically married to it, so...
I think they'll listen to ya. Listen to me?
Half those men don't like me.
Nobody on this ship likes me, but you and Tchuda.
They might not like ya, but they outta listen to ya.
We do not know if the Captain got off an SOS.
The radio is gone. We can't call nobody.
It's just...just Garcia over here with a shortwave tryin' to pickup chatter!
I mean, far as we know, nobody even knows we're out here.
I'm sayin', we launch some lifeboats and get off the ship while we can.
How we gonna get them in the water in this storm?
It can't be done! Those boats are too small. It's suicide, Brady!
You can not do this, you can't do that? You just wanna sit up here, do nothin'?
That's it! No officers, no orders. Every man for himself.
That ain't the way, Brown.
Never did nothin' for nobody.
Now, ship's split...
but the bulkhead's seperating the tanks, 8 and 9.
And Mr.Sybert says that the other tanks are not fractured, so...
the air in the ballast tanks should keep us afloat.
But Mr.Sybert also says that... Mr.Sybert says this, Mr.Sybert says that.
He's a big boy. Let him say it himself. He is righthere.
Go ahead.
Ah..ah, we're sinking.
Yeah, but the whistle works.
So we should keep blowin' that. Maybe somebody will hear it.
I do not know, but we're definitely sinking.
Because the crack in the engine room is takin' on too much water.
Pumps can't keep up.
If the water reaches the air intake in the engine, we gonna eh, lose all the power.
If we lose all the power, we lose the pumps. We lose the pumps...
then we gonna drop really quick.
How long we got before that happens?
Four, maybe five hours.
We need to buy ourselves some time.
So somebody can find us.
If anybody is even lookin'.
Even if they do know we're here, the sea is big enough.
I mean, it ripped this thing in half.
How will they hell are we gonna get out?
That's why I'm sayin' we gotta launch the lifeboats.
Our lucks runnin' out. I don't believe in luck, Broom.
Put those lifeboats out there in the seas, won't last 12 seconds.
You and Quirey...both just wanna sit around do nothin.
You got a better idea, Sybert, or you just gonna hide down below?
We'll run her ground.
What? Do what?
You wanna run her ground, Sybert?
Even if it could with half a ship, why would ya?
This will break apart and dump us all out in the sea.
It's our only choice. We find a soft shore and lay her up.
Slow the water that's comin' in,
stay in the same spot and blow the whistle,
will give us a chance for someone trying to to look for us to find us.
You gonna stay on the ship without hydraulics?
That's your plan? How's that gonna work?
We'll build a manual tiller.
Hey Sybert, why...why should we even listen to you?
All you ever cared about, was this ship.
Tell you what? You two make a cute couple at the bottom of the ocean.
Me? I wanna go in a lifeboat.
Look.
Insert a steel beam into this steering quadrant.
We put pulleys on the end of it for leverage.
And we will move it manually.
Excuse me? Excuse me?
I think I got the radio working.
Bearing 83 degrees, 27 miles east of Nantucket...
East of Nantucket? That ain't the Pendleton.
Fort Mercer...that's another T2.
Another tanker split in two, besides us!
But if everyones gonna help them, who's gonna...?
Who's gonna come for us?
How you feelin'? Everythin' alright?
Did you...did you ask Cluff yet? No.
Why didn't you ask 'em?
What's wrong with you? Bella?
What? You ask him yet? You ask Cluff?
I told you not to tell anybody.
I'm sorry! I'm not having a very good day. I know you're not feeling well...
You know, Willey, you don't need permission to get married.
Actually, you do Chief. Unless you are under-age.
Well...thank you, chief. Just following regulations.
Let's go get suited up.
Well it's not regulation, Webber. Just, eh...a formality, curtosy.
And, hey! Did I hear right that she asked you?
Following orders, right bubba?
Yeah, she asked me, Chief.
Wow! Wow! You sure got your pants on Webber or she wearin' em?
Sounds like this girl cut off you ba...
What, Webber? What, huh? Woo!
Don't you got boats to tie up?
She's...she's my fiancee, sir.
Who asked you...
to be married?
Come on, Livesey, let's go.
One moment.
Sure.
I'm sorry, sir. Say it.
This line is bad, ma'am. I try to connect again.
Please, sir. The lines down.
Bernie? How are you? How's work?
You know, it's been one of those days. But how are you?
Hey! You're not the radar technician are ya? No.
I was ordered to hole up here till the storm passes.
Can't get my eye to my lightship.
You can wait in the mess hall if you want to.
Now is not a good time, uh...you know.
I gotta get ready go down to the pier and to tie some boats.
I wish you were with me.
I hear about sorts of things about a ship breaking up and I...
Oh!
What, are you okay?
Yeah, we just lost the light.
You better go find 'em then.
Nantucket has dispatched their 36 footer to the Marie...
You asked Cluff yet? That him, right?
No...not yet, sweetheart.
I'll explain later, I gotta go. Good.
I love you. I love you too.
Bye.
The best thing is that she had no idea who I was.
Bangs?
Pick yourself a crew. Take the 36500 to the Old Harbor.
Proceed to Fort Mercer, 20 miles east off Nantucket, you hear?
Ah! I don't...don't believe we would get over the bar with this weater, Mr.Cluff.
We are better off taking the 36383 off the Stage Harbor.
About take long right?
Not much.
What do you think, Webber? Oh?
You're boats-mate. You know how it is out there.
Now look, nobodys goin' over the bar in this weather, Mr.Cluff. Nobody.
It's a suicide mission.
We should take out the 36383 outta Stage Harbor.
Takes a little...sure. But atleast you'll be able to get out.
Godspeed, Chief.
Let Gouthro Livesey down the fishing pier. Yes, sir.
Don't get me sick, Gus. You should't even be out here.
Why you always dragging us, Richie?
Don't take it out on us just 'cause you ain't rollin' with Bangs.
Atleast we'll get out! We won't, screw you! That was a year ago!
Screw you!?
No one could have got over the bar that day. Bangs did it.
Oh! Really, Richie? He's not trying to get across the bar today!
No, he says take the 36383 right off from the nice protected bay site.
Ah!
Bernie, it doesn't matter what Richie thinks...
Bangs or whoever thinks. Nobody.
No one could have saved those men at the Langery.
Sometimes you know...men die, Bernie.
Alright, here we go.
Alright, hang on. Now, easy fellas.
Got it. Ok, now up, up, up, up.
One, two...all together now.
Three.
Nicely done boys! Now tie it.
Alright! Now we got a tiller. Now we gonna drive her in a shore.
Ah! Ah! Brown and them others are getting ready to rise some lifeboats.
They think it's their best hope.
Oh, Pop!
We need every guy we got! Well...they're gonna grab those lifeboats.
What are you trying to do, Sybert? Get off of him.
You trying to kill us? You trying to kill us?
Take it easy. Stand up.
You're outta your mind! He just saved your life.
The boat is in pieces. It's gone, enough!
That boat is too small for this seas.
And this boat will be sunk by night fall.
Every fellar who wants to live...
and the only way that happens is if we run her run aground.
We setup a watch and look out for a shore.
I need four men working the pulleys on the emergency tiller.
I need four men manning the pump, aft the steerin'...
and the rest of you bucket top side below...
and communicates with the engine room.
And somebody...keep blowing that whistle.
You heard him, boys. Now move it! Come on!
Sounds like you're the man now, Sybert.
Hope you just didn't kill us all.
I saw a ship driftin'. Heard it whistle.
A distress signal. 45 minutes ago, Bernie.
From my house!
Ah! The wind's blowin' south, and those currents, I...
I guess that'll put up here about comin' near over the bar.
Can't be part of the Mercer, Bernie.
She's off Nantucket, 40 miles...
means she would've drifted northwest, right?
I know what I heard. Know what I saw.
OK, then...eh.
How about we go back to the station and get to the bottom of it?
Just got off the phone with Boston.
They diverted a plane to Mercer...
this side of the stern of the tank from Hamilton 5 miles of Pendleton east of here.
My God! Two tankers broken in half? In one day? It's gotta be some kinda record.
Boston and Nantucket have dispatched all boats to the Mercer.
They can't make it in this weather.
Webber, pick yourself a crew. Take that 36500 and go over the bar...
and find the stern of the Pendleton. You hear?
Yes, sir.
You fellas wanna get warmed up? Get some coffee.
Bernie?
What? What Carl is trying to say...
This isn't about the Landry. Oh! Sure it is.
Ritchie, eight men died that night.
You, Gus and Masachi couldn't even get out. What makes you think you can do it now?
You know the bar on this county, Bernie? Yeah.
The man doesn't know what he's doin'. He's sendin' you out to die.
You can't make it over Chatham bar on a day like this.
You can't stay afloat long enough for half ship, neither.
You know, Mr.Stello, the coast guard, they say, 'You gotta go out'.
But they don't say, 'You gotta come back in'.
That's regulation, you know.
Bernie, before you get too far out there.
Don't worry about me, Mr.Ryder.
I can't get lost out there. I know these waters pretty good.
How can I get lost?
No, no, no Bernie. What Dave's tryin' to say...
is that you should motor around the harbor, say you tried to get out, but couldn't...you know?
Thank you, Mr.Ryder. Thank you.
But Mr.Stello, I'm gonna do the best to get out there.
I don't know if if I don't, but I'm gonna try.
Ok.
I guess Richie's in? Who else?
I don't know, Gus. You barely can lift your head.
Who else you gonna take, Bernie? Fitz is the only other engine-man left.
And he is only third class, and he ain't got the experience.
I'm can go. Yeah, I can...I can do the job.
I mean, I can do it. You can't go.
You're as sick as a dog, Gus. He's right, Gus.
One more?
Someone has to go out, save those guys, right?
That's why I signed up. Think now is my chance.
Sailor Ervin Maske, Stonehorse lightship.
Pumps aren't keepin' up.
Three more feet...before we lose the engines.
You locked those boiler rooms, Full?
You're crazy to think you can control with a few ropes and a tiller, bud.
You got a better idea? I'm all ears.
There! A shore about a mile distance.
We can make that!
Rudder, 15 degrees to port. Half speed if we wanna hit it head-on.
Gotta make a 80 degrees turn on the compass to 3,10,
Rudder, 15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 on compass.
15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 on compass.
Rudder, 15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 on compass.
Thank you, Eldon.
Ok, guys? Now pull, pull, pull. Come on!
Please tell me that we are taking that boat to a bigger boat.
Have you ever been on a rescue mission before? No.
Usually chip paint. Sometimes I cook for the boys.
Great!
Alright, you take the glory hole. Masky. Ervin, Masky.
Ervin, yeah.
Richie, drop the mooring line when you can.
The last known position of the Pendleton is here.
So I fugure, once we cross the bar, I reckon the currents...
drifted about here. That's 6 miles from us.
So you think that Bernie can get us out past bar on this?
I never seen anything like it.
Yeah, I mean it's gotta be failure. Hope he doesn't pitch-bowl, that's all.
The power on the waves in that bar, can pick you up...
and they can tag you in for over and over again.
There is no way to survive that. That's a pitch-bowl.
Hey Fitz, we good? Give it a shot.
Reel the lines. Lines reeled.
Did Bernie go out, Gus? Miriam, what are you doing in here?
Did he? Yeah, Cluff did.
I want to talk to him.
Who? Cluff.
Your commanding officer. Where is he?
I want to find out where Bernie is. I'm worried about him.
We are suposed to get married.
Miriam, this isn't what the other girls do. Or wives!
They don't come in here, and they don't do this.
So?
If you want, you can wait in here. Listen to what is going on.
Sit down.
Tides risin'. Could've drove across the shore.
We need to hit it hard. Yeah, there is no other way.
Wave!
You feel that? We're drifting. Must've lost the tiller.
We're gonna slow dead-weight or we gonna miss the shore...do it.
Cut the governor valve, stop the propulsion. Isolate the boiler.
We're gotta conserve everything she got left .
I continue to tell you, Bouloo. This boat just bad luck.
It has nothing to do with luck.
Station Chatham, this is the CG-36500, Do you copy?
This is Station Chatham. 36500, where's your location, over?
Station Chatham, we are now passing Morris Island.
Down the shell towards the Chatham bar. Over.
What does it mean going over the bar? Miriam, don't do this to yourself.
Why not?
Why not, Gus?
When I'm gonna be with him, I wanna know.
You're the girl with the bear-coat, right? Yeah..that's me!
You gonna tell me, what's it's like up there?
Sholes on that bar are never the same place, twice.
Flood currents carrin' them...
big ocean sweels and rise up and they shell crash up against that bar.
Out tide go crashing against the bar.
That man shouldn't have sent those men in a storm like this..
Maybe they can turn back. Maybe they get lost before.
Can't get out.
You know Bernie, right? You know he won't get lost out there.
You know he follows the rules. Yeah, we know.
We all going down to the pier too. See if we can do anything down there.
Welcome to come.
Miriam...Mariam, please come here.
Mariam?
Excuse me, are you Commander Cluff? Who are you?
I'm Miriam Pentinen, Bernie Webber's girlfriend. I want you to call Bernie, back in.
The girl he asked me. Do you know what he wanted to ask?
For your permission to marry me. That's between you, him and your God.
Asking me is just a formality. He can marry all he wants.
Don't you know that? But you can't be in here, Miss.
It is Bernie.
Chatham bar straight ahead, over. 36500, Station Chatham.
Proceed as directed, towards Pendleton stern.
I didn't copy that, Station Chatham. The conditions are extreme.
Why give him permission if you're sending him out to die?
What the hell! Gouthro, get her out of here!
Sir, wind has gone off from 40 to 60, since they first got off in.
That will be hurricane strength in an hour. Gouthro, he got his orders.
You get her outta here, and you get to bed. You're too sick to be in here.
36500, Station Chatham, proceed over the bar.
I repeat, proceed.
Once over it, travel south....
radar's emitting. Showin' a pep.
About 10 miles East of Monomoy Point over south. Over.
Station Chatham, this is the 500, copy that.
I hear what everyones saying. You don't know what you're doing.
Excuse me? Maybe because you're not from here.
You do not know how it's there.
What the hell would you know, how it's like there, Miss? Hmm?
Please just call them back.
What do you think it's gonna be like, married to a Coast guard, Mariam?
Please, call just them back.
You gonna come in here, scared, everytime he's in the water?
Please call them back. You, don't belong here.
Please call them back. Get out of here! Get outta my station.
And go home to where you belong, Miss. Please call them back.
Get out my station!
Shore's gettin' behind us.
Only chance now is a hard turn, if the chains hold...but,
it could capsize us.
That's good work.
You need to stand clear, boys.
Those shackles crack, these chains snap and rip right through ya.
Here we go.
Gotta her movin'.
You hear that? That's it! That's the bar.
Coupla minutes now, boys.
* When I was a little boy *
* hold my mother, told me *
* Way-o-way *
* We on our way, Joe *
* I first met a Yankee girl *
* she was fat and lazy tummy! *
* Way ho way ho * * Way ho way ho...Joe *
* Then I met an Irish girl * * who dam me, made me crazy...tummy *
* Way ho way ho * * Way ho way ho...Joe *
* Now way ho way ho * * We are bound for better weather, tummy *
* Way ho way ho * * We are all way, Joe *
Hey boys! We won't be able to see much, alright?
So we gotta listen to those waves hittin' that bar. Gotta time it.
So I'm gonna wait for a low, and then we go. We got faith in you, Skip.
Anytime you're ready, you just go, Bernie. Alright?
The compass is gone.
Fitzy, the engine died.
I've got it. I got it. Nah, you don't.
You got about five seconds, boys.
It's gravity pad, it doesn't trace out... I know!
Come on, light up!
Maske? Get back here.
Tide's rising! It'll get us through.
But let me know what's coming.
Hey Fitz!? We've been over the bar. Back to spotlight.
Comin' out.
We turned too late!
We gotta buy time back!
Tell Sybert we need 30 degrees within the next two minutes or we'll miss that shole.
30 degrees in the next two minutes..
Puttin' her in reverse. You gotta let the ocean push us.
Hold on.
Maybe you wanna brace yourself, Eldon.
318...
316...
Close it down as soon as she hits!
312...
Gentlemen! Brace yourselves.
Hold on!
Now!
Well...
You did it! It bloody well worked, Mr.Sybert!
You gotta keep the water away from the air inlets of the engine.
We lose power, we lose our pumps.
I'm afraid, the way we're pullin' so much water, wave will pull us off the shole.
Feels funny not movin around, huh Eldon?
Alright, lets get to it.
We are headin' down to the lodge. Everthing ok?
Quite down now, my God! Give me a break.
I was on my way home and my car's been out into a ditch. I need some help.
Yeah alright, we live nearby.
We'll go back to my house. Call my brother. He can till you out. Jump in.
Thank you. You don't got a coat?
You can move that. We're bringin' that from St.Martin's survivors.
I left my coat at the Coast Guard station. Gotta man there?
Stop it.
He is not there now right now. It's a...
It is Bernie Webber. Yeah, Bernie is a good man.
We can't find 'em without a compass, Bernie.
We got no idea where they are.
Hold on.
You okay?
I'm havin' a great time out here, Bernie!
Whole lot! Whole lotta fun here.
Brace yourselves!
It's really nice here.
Take it, use it. Consider it done.
What's wrong with it!? We lost the pumps.
The pumps are chokin' the breakers. Go check the connections.
Give me the light.
It's onet of those damn... Sometimes I wish I didn't understand.
Sybert, what's goin' on?
We're usin' every pump we got.
The jam the breakers and the pumps wouldn't trickle.
We got another two feet of water before it hits the air in engine and then the ship's dead.
Jesus Christ. Do you hear that?
The tide's rising workin' us up the shole. Fellas, that give us some time.
Isn't that right, Mr.Sybert? That's sure, is Bub.
As long as the generators keep the pumps goin'.
By however we buy some more time.
You wanna be to be the man, Sybert right? Well now you are the man.
You got no wife, got no kids back home?
You're a single man always hidin' down below. What do you gotta lose?
Enough, Brown.
I'm afraid, Brown.
Gotta a life, same as you.
Just don't see sittin' around, talkin' about it.
Station Chatham, 36500. Station Chatham, 36500, do you copy?
Station Chatham, this is Chief Bangs, CG-36383,
Pollock lightship, CG-36500, do you copy?
Why can't they hear us, Bernie? We hear them.
Tide is too high, zero head way. Station Chatham, do you copy?
I repeat, we're comin' home.
Station Chatham, 36383, return to Old Harbor.
Pollock lightship, CG-36500, do you copy?
We are all alone.
You heard, Bangs, on the Radio like he's out goin' all back in but couldn't get out...
and the storm's gets worse...
We must return back, Webber.
We've come farther than anybody ever thought possible, Bernie!
Maybe Richie is right! Maybe we should just go back!
The wind is eight to nine. Repeat, Wind eight to nine. Heavy snowfall.
You heard Bangs on the radio.
We have no compass and we have no way to communicate.
You are... What? What? I'm what Ritchie?
I got us this far, didn't I? Not Bangs not Cluff, but I did it!
We did it, Richie.
You wanna turn back around?
No, not now! We came too far.
We are not gonna leave 'em.
Not on my watch.
Just do your job.
Hey Fitz, turn off the beam. We'll work in the dark.
We can see the light of the Pendleton better in the dark.
Watch it.
Get back here.
Get your buds back here.
I lost my hat.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm just tired. Come on.
You kids go play in the bedroom, ok?
You can wait. Let me call my brother.
Thanks. Call me Mariam.
You think your mother would mind if I turn on the radio?
Coast Boston, this is the Unimak.
We are first at the Mercer bow her now at the Port of Yakutat.
Four Mercer crew members jumped from the deck. All are lost.
I repeat, four men lost. Several crew members have hypothermia.
We'll wait for daybreak to attempt another rescue. Over.
Does no good listenin' to all that chatter, Mariam. Better to live not knowin'.
...it would be 1900 hours...
How long have you been married to Bernie for? We are...
We're not married yet.
I didn't know if... Like I said, Bernie is a good man.
Him and some of them others try gettin' out one year ago saved my husband Arnie and the crew of the Landry.
They were out on the boat night time off Nantucket when the boat started takin' water.
A night just like this.
Come on, we gotta get goin'.
Brother's on his way to come meet us. I gotta get to the lodge, come on, you two.
because people said sit down sit down, let you rock the boat 753
* Cause people said sit, down sit down * * you rock the boat *
* the devil you can pull down * * the sharp edges of your jacket *
* Sit down, sit down, sit down *
Do you know who she is?
Ain't Bernie's fault, Carlin. No one's fault. It's like her blaming you.
For what?
You are the one that told me there was no other ship out there because of you, right?
Fitz, turn on the searchlight.
I can't believe we found her. Look at that!
We're too late. It's a ghost ship.
Are you seeing this, sir? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah...I see him.
Not sure I believe it!
Where is the hell's he goin'?
Good to see you boys.
Careful.
How are we gonna fit them all on this boat? We were told to fit only 12, including us.
Those are just regulation, right?
How many could you fit?
20, 22 tops.
Wait.
They comin' out here.
Try the station, Port side.
Come on, I got you.
We got ya.
Maske, get over here!
Come on. Grab him.
You know where you goin' on, Miss?
I think so.
Thanks for your help, Mr.Nickerson.
Yeah.
You know...
Bernie ain't out there, 'cause of me. Yeah, I know.
It's Bernie's job to go out, right?
How can I blame me for it?
Nice and slow! Nice and slow. Pete, you're up next.
Take it nice and slow! Take it easy. Come on.
We gotta go! We're leavin' nobody behind.
Go on that ladder, Eldon. We gotta get him down.
We have no time.
She's slippin'. We gotta get off this ship.
Hurry!
Eldon, how you doin'?
I'm scared.
Well...it's a lot scarier up here without us. You gotta listen to me!
Eldon? We all gotta get down! Stop pushin'.
Follow right behind me. If I could do it, anyone can.
Come on.
Hold on, Eldon.
Tiny, Tiny! Hold on.
Eldon.
Eldon, look at me. Look at me.
When I jump say, let go. Ready?
Jump.
You good?
Hold on tight.
Alright! So heavy, you can hardly steer.
They are saying there are seven or eight up there aboard.
Maybe...we take these guys back in... come back out.
Can't leave anybody alone. That boat won't last.
We all live or we all die.
Right?
You...aa..you did good.
You should be last one off, Mr.Sybert.
Last man!
Hey Fitz! Turn off that searchlight, yeah?
We have radio contact with the McCullough.
I said they have lost four men, but saved the rest. The captain of the Pollock Rip said...
Mr.Cluff, it is 36500, It's Bernie...right on the radio!
Chatham, Chatham, you copy?
CG-36500, this Station Chatham. Webber, is that you?
Yes, sir, it's me, Bernie.
We got 32 survivors aboard from the Pendleton, sir.
Station Chatham, you copy?
36500, Station Chatham. Did you say you have 32 survivors aboard!?
They rescued 'em! Rescued 32 of them. Yes sir, 32...
We lost our compass, so we don't know where we are...
but we'll try to make it back home.
Can't come back without a compass. Not in this weather.
They can not go back.
You lost your compass Webber?
No. 36500, this is the Pollock lightship. Do not proceed to the shore.
We're 5 miles Northeast of last location of Pendleton.
Proceed to our position, over. CG-36500, Station Chatham...
proceed to Pollock lightship and onboard all survivors.
What do they know, right?
Right, Richie?
CG-36500, you copy?
If they know where they are...
someone tell me where I am because I don't know where the hell we are.
Webber, do you copy?
I'm not going out to sea...no. This is Station Chatham, do you copy?
We just got you off a boat, there's no way we're gonna get you all up there.
CG-36500, this is Station Chatham.
Webber, your orders are to proceed 5 miles northeast and onboard all survivors at the Pollock.
Sounds like there's a cut on the radio, Mr.Cluff. He's going at on his own.
Bernie Webber.
What do you know?
How do they get home?
He turned off his radio.
Poor guys! I can't believe this is happening.
There's some more stuff in the car.
The power went out. How do they get home?
Powers out.
The whole town! The powers out.
It's worse than last year. You never know.
Let's get to the pier.
How did you find us without a compass?
We...we jodged with seasonal currents.
Think we just got lucky.
Yeah.
Lucky.
Well, you know how you get home?
To be honest with ya, I'm not sure.
Just, disobeyed all my ranking officers. They don't know. So I'm better than 'em, alright?
But the wind on my left goin' out.
Even if I...keep it on the right, we ought to be there in the right direction.
We just follow all the lights on the shore. Follow the lights on the shore.
Well, we are in your hands, Captain.
Listen up.
I put the sea behind us.
Just let it push us along, till we land somewhere.
Storm's easing' up boys, so..we just look at the shore lights to guide us in.
Even if we have to go so far as Nobska Point. So be it! We just gonna find land!
Been one heck of a long day, right fellas?
Yeah, sure has!
But don't you give up hope on me now.
It's a good boat. Will get us through.
Will get you home, okay? We are all goin' home.
We are with you, Skipper.
Keep the lights on, like she's doin'. Turn your lights on.
Turn on the lights, everyone.
More light, so that they can see us.
I think we made it over the bar.
The thick tide there is over!
You see that!?
Fitz, turn on the searchlight.
Look, you see that? There are our boys!
Is it them?
Well done, Bernie.
You did it, Webber! Well done, Webber!
36500 Chatham docking at the Chatham pier.
Appear to be 32 survivors, sir. I repeat: We have 32 survivors.
Atta boy! Bernie.
Give me the end.
Cmon! Good to see you. Come on over.
Take it easy!
This man's freezing. Give him a coat. Go on in, it's warm inside.
Let's get you in the lodge.
Nice and easy. I got ya.
Good job, Captain.
Well done, Bernie.
Webber?
Bernie.
Let's go.
We still got 5 days until April 16.
Yeah...
I asked Cluff for you.
He said it's just a... Formality.
Now I know, right?
