"Officer Howell!" " Merrick?" " Yes, it's me." "Impossible!" "Merrick died." "The British Navy did it's best." "But I'm still alive, my friend." "You'll not get away with this, Merrick!" " Take off your uniform." " What for?" "Because there can only be one of you." "And it's gonna be me." "You'll look very pretty in this uniform, but you'll never pass for an officer." "You don't have the style." " Just wait till my father comes home!" " Your father is lost at sea." "No!" "He's comming home soon." "He owes us so much money he doesn't dear to come home." "Father?" "Father!" "Father, I never thought you'd come back!" "My foot got tangled in a rope and I was pulled over board." "But Jens dived in and saved me." "Would you like a coffee before you go?" "Shouldn't you show Hakon what you brought him?" " For me?" " Something I always dreamt about." "When I was your age." "Do you know what that is?" "It is a sign_on letter to my ship." "You'll be the new deck boy." "You're ready, aren't you?" "Father I ..." "He's too young." "And you with your bad foot ..." "We need him here." "Of course." "I'm sorry." "No, it's best you stay home, Haakon." "Good morning." "Could I see Mr. Vernes, please?" "Vernes!" "Haakonsen!" "I heard about your accident." "I'm sorry." "I'm glad I survived." "As you know, those who just lay on the bunk don't get any pay." "So I'll have to ask for an extension on the loan." "How bad is your foot?" "I don't think I can ever sail again." "Then I'm afraid I cannot extend the loan." "But if you would be sailing again then ..." "Wait here." " God's peace, Haakonsen." " God's peace, sergeant." "Well, well." "It's a pity that you'll have to move out tomorrow already." "The kids were born here." "My mother died here." "Listen ..." "I'll pay the debt." "I'll be the new deck boy on The Flora." "Yes, looks like you're going to be the new deck boy on The Flora." "Is Haakon going to be a sailor?" "That's a deal." "Anna ... they have to go now." "Haakon ..." "On my first trip the captain gave me this." "He said it would bring me safely home." "And it did." "Now it's yours." " Thank you father." " You'll have to teach him some English." "He'll be better than you and I." " Take good care of my son." " Don't worry so much old man." "Haakon, the captain wants to see you." "Yes?" "Haakon Haakonsen." "The new deck boy." "Tell me ... your father is a rather big man." "How come you're so tiny?" " I don't know, captain." " There's no room for kids on board." "You have to work hard." "If you're not a sailor, I'll drop you off in London." "You can't do that." "I have to be here for two years." "Mr. Haakonsen." "I can do exactly as I please on board this ship." "Don't you ever argue with your captain." "Ever!" " Is that clear?" " Yes captain." "Go find the bosun." "He'll put you to work." "Thank you captain." "It's stuck!" "Lower the tackle." "Nothing to this once you get used to it." " I'll never learn that." " You can learn it now, come on!" " No, I'm going to see the bosun." " That's me!" "Who's asking?" "Haakon Haakonsen, the new deck boy." "Come to get something to do?" "Did you see Jens tie that knot up in the mast?" "Go loosen it." "Go on!" " Loosen it?" " Hurry!" "You want us all to die?" " Come on, we'll hoist you up!" " Wait!" "He must be blindfolded." "Remember that little lad?" "He wasn't blindfolded." " He looked down." " But Jens wasn't blindfolded." "No, but he closed his eyes." "Don't need a blindfold when you're that experienced." " Hurry!" "It'll soon snap." " Come on boy!" "One hand on the ship and one for yourself." "And don't look down!" "Help!" "No!" "That's enough boys." "Just like you to spoil the fun, Jens." "I remember when we played the trick on you." "Your pants were glued to you." "That's how wet they were." "Don't ask too many questions, Haakon." "Just do your job." "And keep your eyes open." "Then you'll soon learn all you need to know." " Damn it." "You greenhorn!" " Come now." "Relax." "A knot like this could cost a man his life." "This is how you fasten it!" "Haakon ..." "Knots are not enemies they are friends." "You have to relax." "Say hello to the knots." "And then you introduce yourself to them." "You damn well have to pay attention." "Take care, Haakon!" "Who's at the helm?" "Jesus Christ!" "What the hell is going on?" "Oh no, not that story again." "But it's true ..." "I got this English book from your father on my first trip." " I can't read English." " I'll help you." "May you have good luck with it." "Thanks." "Land ahoy!" " London!" " London again!" "Haakon, the captain wants to see you." "It's going to be a long journey, long and dangerous." "I need to be able to trust that each man does his job." "Otherwise nobody is safe." "You get my point?" "Please captain, don't dismiss me now." "My family's got debts to pay." "Come here." "Have you ever seen such a thing?" " No captain." " It's called a photograph." "Look at it." "That's your father and I. Thought you might want to have it." "That's all." "As a token from home." "Now that you're embarking on a long journey." "No." "Thank you so much!" "I mean ..." "Thank you captain." "Some sight, eh?" "I remember the first time I came to London." " You remember this pub?" " Well you certainly don't." " Norwegians ..." " Norwegians." "Come on mates." "Get off me, you stinking bedbucket!" "In this city you have to watch your valuables." "Thank you sir." "Hello sailor, we're a shipmates best friend." "Not today, ladies." "I've got my little brother with me." "Looks like your brother could do with a little learning." "Like I said ... watch your "valuables"." "Here boys." "Get going." "Bottoms up!" "Milk?" "Bottoms up!" "Come on Haakon." "Next round's on me." "Cheers!" " Milk?" " Cheers!" "Bottoms up." "Come on." "Down with it." " One more round?" " No!" "This round's on me." "Boys, you can't fool a real sailor." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "We are about to sail on a voyage bound for Sydney and from there to Calcutta." "As you know we'll cross pirate waters." "The shipowners have appointed a first officer who knows these waters." "Leutenant Howell." "Mr. Howell is one of the most highly respected officers _" " in The British Royal Navy." "So, Mr. Howell, I'm pleased to have you and your bosun join us." "I wish you welcome on board." "You are a fine body of seamen and I have no doubt   that you will bring our ship to its destination as fast as nature allows." "Some of you may be concerned about pirates?" "Do not be." "Her Majesty's Navy has dispatched _ these evil men back to where - they belong." "That is all." "_ Stand by, for and aft!" "_ Let go aft!" "Let go bow!" "Cast off!" ""Glass"?" ""Howell"." "You ought to be more careful with the property of The Royal Navy, mister." "But we keep this to ourselves." "Because we're mates." "Every ship has her own secrets." "And every true sailor knows when to keep his mouth shut _" "_ for the sake of the ship and his mates." "I not know any secrets." "Good boy." "You're learning fast." " Captain?" " Are you still here?" "Yes." "Captain, I wondered ..." " Are there any rules about ..." " Yes?" "Spit it out." "What's the matter?" "I mean ..." "If a sailor knows something about another sailor ... a secret." "For example that he has something on board that he may not have." " Should I then report it?" " Somebody has rum on board?" " Don't worry so much, Haakon." " Alright." " I just want to be a real sailor." " You are a real sailor." "Regarding this secret of yours ..." "Wait till the morning." "If you feel you have to you can tell me then." "Yes captain." " Good night." " Good night, Haakon." "No." "He needs to rest." " But I have to talk to him." " No, no." "So, how is the captain to day?" "His temperature's high." " It is ship's fever then." " Most likely." "But no one else is sick." "And I havn't seen ship's fever take only one man." "Have you?" "He's an old man." "From earth you have come, to earth you will go." "From earth you shall rise again." "Rest in peace." "Amen." "There are a thousand good reasons for having this in the cargo." " Like what?" " Defence." "Against pirates." "Why is "glass" written on the outside when they contain guns?" "Howell is an officer in The British Navy." "He's here to protect us." "How he does that is up to him." "Haakon, Sydney is a harbour that leaves a mark on a sailor." " Really?" " It did with me." " "Mother" ..." " An announcement from the captain:" "We're behind schedule." "We have to make up for the lost time _" "_ on the passage to Calcutta." "All shoreleave here in Sydney is cancelled." "That's not fair!" "Mr. Thatcher, we've been at sea for 3 1/2 months." "Sir ... we've been working hard." "Don't we deserve shoreleave?" "Gentlemen " "_ must I remind you that this ship is under the command of The British Navy?" "Insubordination is a punishable offence." "Any questions?" "Good." "Different captains, different customs." "You heard what the captain said." "Bosun, take over." "Bosun, these are your new mates." "Show them to their quarters." "You didn't say anything about extra crew?" "We need them to protect us in pirate waters." "Carry on." " Take them to the deckhouse." " This way." "Anybody there?" "Relax, I'm not gonna hurt you." "You're a girl!" "You've seen one before, haven't you?" "Yes, but ..." " What are you doing down here?" " Going to Calcutta, same as you." " Why?" " To avoid being put in an orphanage." " Why don't you stay with your parents?" " They're dead, if you must know." "I have an uncle in Calcutta." "That's why I'm going there." "That's mine!" " You can have it if you keep quiet." " I can't read much." " I'll teach you." " No." "You don't have to." "I'll keep quiet." " I'm Haakon." " I'm Mary." "And I'll teach you anyway." ""In Xanadu did Kublai Khan"   "a stately pleasure dome decree."" "What's Xanadu?" "My mother said it was the most beautiful place on earth." "Where everybody was happy and safe." "But it's only in a book." "It doesn't really exist." "Yes, it does." "Wait, Jens." "She's a friend." " A stowaway?" " She's an orphan." "She's going to her uncle in Calcutta." "It's too late to tell you two how foolish this is." "And dangerous." "Do you know the punishment for not reporting a stowaway?" "I found these laying around." "I thought Haakon had smuggled a dog on board." "From now on you stay in the deckhouse at night." "And you lay low." " He won't say anything, will he?" " No." "I trust him with my life." "There is a thief among us." "I want that man to stand forward and take his punishment." "This here is a stowaway." "One of you has been concealing her and stealing food for her." "Point out your confederate." "You give me no choice." "Prepare to keelhaul the prisoner!" " She's only a child!" " Take her below." "Clap her in irons." "So it was you!" "You know the penalty for hiding a stowaway?" "Give me the cat." "This man will recieve 40 lashes." "No, wait!" "Jens didn't do anything." "It was me." "Haakon!" "The cat will kill him." "Sir, you can't do this." "You will do it!" "Pick up the cat." "Pick up the cat." "Pick up that cat, sir!" "Do your duty, or I shall do mine!" "Clear the decks!" "Out of my way boy!" "Help!" "Someone help me!" "Help!" "Launch the longboat!" "Go get that girl!" "Abandon ship!" "Mary?" "Haakon!" "The keys!" "Hurry up!" "My foot!" "Unlock my foot!" "The keys!" "Come on!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Haakon!" " You first." " I'll hold the line." "You go!" "Hurry up!" " Let go the line!" " We're not leaving without the kids!" "Come on!" " Let go!" " Shoot!" " Jens!" " Haakon!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Watch out!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "She's sinking!" "Jump!" "Jump, Haakon!" "For God's sake!" "Help!" "Jens!" "Jens!" "Help me!" "Jens!" "Where are you?" "Jens?" "Mary?" "Jens?" "Mary?" "Anybody?" "Hello?" "Anybody there?" ""In Xanadu did Kublai Khan"   "a stately pleasure dome decree."" "Merrick." "Merrick." "Mother!" "Mother?" " Haakon!" "I knew you were alive." " It's no time for a reunion!" "Wait!" "Will you conquer the village alone?" "_ They are our friends." "_ They plucked us out of the ocean." "We've been traveling with them trying to find you." " But Mary was fighting with them?" " They claim me as their sister." " And expect me to clean up after them." " She fights with them every night." "I almost gave up hope of ever finding you again." "But Mary never did." "Well ..." "I " "_ better go and tell the chief we're leaving." "Haakon, it's beautiful." "I thought I'd never see you again." "I thought I'd never see anybody again." " Stop!" " What's the matter?" " One of my traps." " For what?" "Merrick will be back for his treasure one day." "See up there?" "Looks like ropes and pulleys." "You step on that vine, and you'll be swinging from the top of that tree." "Come on, jump over it." "Well ..." "He has really put together quite a place here." "A real Xanadu, fit for a king." "I felt like a king." "I really did." "But it wasn't quite like home." "No." "We'd better go to sleep." "Good night." " Good night." " Good night." " Don't touch the vines!" " Right ..." " Can't believe you got out alive." "_ I nearly didn't." "Poor Merrick." " _ Yes, he's really in for trouble." "Careful!" "A ship!" " Pirates!" " We have to get out of sight!" " It's Howell." " Merrick." "He's in for a surprise." " Don't any of them work?" " I don't know!" "It's gone!" "I don't believe it!" "Get out!" "Get that treasure!" "I want whoever done this dead!" "I want my treasure!" "I want every rock, every hole, every tree in this island searched." "You hear me?" " Get the men." "We spend the night here." " What about the prisoners?" " Bring a couple of them with you." " The rest?" " Lock 'em up." " Right." "Come on!" "Look." " That's Berg." "And Steiner." " Thank God they're alive." "That means our other men are probably out there too." "We're not leaving without them." "Come on, I've got an idea." "I should go." "Haakon knows the island and Jens knows everything else." "No!" "It's too dangerous!" "I sneaked onboard your ship when you were standing guard." "I believe her." "Have you ever used a gun before?" "I think I can handle myself." "Get the treasure safe on board, wait for our signal and carry out the plan." " What if you're captured?" " That's not going to happen." "But if it does, you sail on without us." "Take my share of the treasure to my family." " What are you looking at?" " I thought I heard something." "Probably just a fish." " We're going to take over the ship!" " You have a knife." "Cut the ropes!" "There are only two guards left on board." "We'll take care of them." " Run!" " Don't let them escape!" "Wait!" "This way!" "Get him loose and continue!" "I'll catch up with you!" " Get across." "I'll wait for Jens." " Are you mad?" "Get going!" "Wait there." "I'm back soon!" "Jens!" "Jens!" "What are you waiting for?" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Come on, hurry!" "Don't just stand there!" "Get a log!" "Make a bridge!" "Get after them!" "And get that brat!" "By God, we made it!" "Hello, shipmates." "You wasn't thinking of leaving, was you?" "Not without saying goodbye to your old mate?" "No, you wouldn't do that, eh?" "You weren't thinking of betraying me, were you, Haakon?" "No." "Not me what was so kind to you." "What looked after you." "I thought we was mates." "I thought we was more than mates." "I thought we was friends." "I trusted you." "Now you listen here to me, boy." "I'm gonna count to three _" " and then you're gonna tell me where my treasure is. 'Cause if you don't _" " I'm gonna blow your head off." "One ..." "Two ..." "It worked!" "Come back here, you little runt!" "I'll flay you alive!" "Come on, you idiots!" "After them!" "Mary!" "Get ready to sail!" "Here they come." "Get ready to sail!" "Come on, Haakon!" "Hurry up!" "Haakon!" "Hurry!" "Keep it steady!" "I've got them in my sight!" "You're finished now, boy!" " We're ready to sail!" " Hurry up!" " Let's go." " Let's get the ship out of here!" "Come back here you ..." "Come back!" "I'll skin you alive!" "After them!" "Come on, you fools!" "What are you waiting for?" "I'll get you, you ... !" "Head for home!" " Look it's Haakon." " Mama, it's Haakon!" "They told us you were dead." "Haakon." "Jens?" "You old sea dog!" "This is Mary." "She is going to live with us for a while." " Welcome Mary." " Hello." "I'm afraid none of us will live here much longer." "The farm is up for sale." "_ It was sold this morning father." "What?" "" "The farm is ours now." " Ole, take our luggage inside." " Will do."
