me and I don't mind sharing it not for me 16 days is all I'd want a guarantee

16 days isn't good enough I have to meet a Trent shipment date what happens if we

pick up the Corporal don't get it back within 14 days you don't get paid hey what kind of a deal is that I lose my

money on the copra you lose yours on the haul its Brady you said you'd pay handsome - yeah how handsome me did you

have in mind double whatever you got the last time you made the run that's very answer and

prosecute this girl for kidnapping can't wait ten more if she's caught with a baby she could end up with a 20-year

prison sentence we don't want to prosecute it we just want the baby the

can take on cargo and put the scene four or five hours yeah a lot for an

overnight in the torso we could pick up 10 to 12 hours that way yeah we still leaves us six hours to make up on the way back forward luck

we haven't been overwhelmed by luck so far yeah but the storms left us a fresh breeze ideal sailing conditions optimist

there's no room for pessimist it's gonna happen to Charlie you're gonna have to turn him over to the authorities we get

to the Torah yeah authorities Charlie's a friend yeah I know Karl but I'm not

throwing him overboard I'll put him in an orphanage look I have no choice I've got to go with the law the law doesn't

even know about Charlie yeah but it provides for couldn't we keep him he doesn't take up much room I could take

care of him now you know I can't do that Kelly he hasn't any friends but us

I'm gonna have to go with the law and that's final what are you gonna do with Buffy turn him over to the dog catcher oh I think we're gonna turn you

over to a dog catcher see Kelly's viewpoint after all Charlie was deserted now don't you start in on me oh no it's

tough on you it's hard to be mean to little babies and not me they're little babies then why are you so defensive

well you to make me feel like like a traitor

[Music]

but Charlie I I have to be the law

what I really want to do is I don't like

to separate you two [Music]

I think never Stevie on the item see Broadway we have checked the airlines and the ships no woman has that stuff

write me that you were giving up traveling and opening an office well I tried to but I am I couldn't get rid of

the habit come on you're gonna have dinner with me tonight but do you like it what time well huh let's make an

early night of it nearly six o'clock wait give me a chance to clear my desk a night with you

by the way I had to talk with your friend captain Troy the other day under rather unusual circumstances he had a

sick baby aboard and put in a call for medical advice I thought the Tiki saved without passengers what she did

that's the funny part of the story the baby was a stubble wave stowaway was

that a woman with a baby no no the baby was travelling alone except for a dog

anyone hadn't anyone stole away a baby and a dog get me mr. or mrs. Brownley

hurry [Music]

Oh Chris get the loading crew organized we want to put to see in four hours down

right Kelly you say with a baby to lessen the cargo manifest

[Music]

[Music]

Oh you can't go back there

with the devil you think you're doing I was only trying to get my baby you're good

oui Monsieur your baby oui Monsieur you let somebody put your baby aboard my

ship no I put him there myself Monsieur what kind of a mother are you how could you leave a baby alone on a ship I'm

sorry I didn't know what to do you realize it was almost a day before anyone found him somebody told me that

you were sailing that very night without passengers and it seemed as though the board you're himself possessed aboard

your that baby almost died what are you

talking about I had to send him one way and go another myself they were watching for a woman with a baby you didn't steal

that no no he's mine I was there the night he was born and I've been with him

every moment of his life his grandparents never even knew him until my sister and her husband were k*lled

and now they want to take him to America where I will never see him again you realize you could be charged with kidnapping you and I are going to the

authorities and you're gonna tell them exactly what you've done words they have stolen in from me that

way Kelly

you stay here right here I'll find your baby for him [Music]

no I haven't seen Kelly I thought he was on board I wouldn't be asking if he was does he have relatives on this island

yeah I think he's got an uncle his name's tofu okay keep rolling with the loading I'm gonna borrow cheap I'll be back in half

an hour [Music]

I have so many nephews Shelly you said

no Kelly Kelly Kelly never heard of him Kelly Kelly Makaha from Popeye a day you

know on Tahiti Tahiti you said yes yes I know Tahiti I have a nephew there his

name is Kelly that's the one have you seen Kelly no not for years he works for

some crazy American he's not crazy is just unfortunate uh does Kelly have any

other relatives on this island oh yes all over the island have you met Rihanna my best niece

no I haven't where does she live on the other side of the island you can reach

her house in one hour that's two hours one hour each way time will not matter

not when you see Rihanna [Music]

I'm afraid I can't please Kelly but I'd be happy to take a message for him would

you rather wait well I'd really love to

I'm in a hurry goodbye bye

[Music] Hasselbeck dog just bought the chandlery

on the south end of the island maybe he knows where Kelly is sure sure I know where Kelly we're cousins you want me to

take message for you you haven't seen him by any chance I know where to find him yeah look I've been going from

relative to relative on this island for four hours then you should have come here for us now you go to corner you

make right go to the end of the street you see ship the Tiki Kenny works the

board look in case you see him tell him don't be too sure

[Music]

a real good job fellas I'll remember you next time around [Music]

so that power that we grant to sail without you below to just four hours I would bail out of this yet it's Kelly

soon up here I've seen everybody knows we have to get out of here what am I gonna say to that girl

Charlie's and maybe that's

[Music] if you drove like that in Tahiti you

would not have a license very long they couldn't be inspected with shark couldn't be anybody else but inspected

to see you Detroit this is mister this is proudly we have temple ask some question about

the baby and the dog you brought from Tahiti maybe see them we're hoping the baby is our grandchild I'm sure here's

mrs. Brownley but he's not on board now where is he

I don't know he's disappeared disappeared he's appeared and Kellie's disappeared along with him candy candy

would no kidnap a baby well Kelly thinks he's a foundling and will be put in an orphanage anything happened to that baby it's the

girl's fault how could she do such a terrible thing she loved the baby and the court gave

custody to us and the men in the middle mr. brown lien from the middle I can see very clearly but you both love the child

myself the child needs all the love they can possibly get I think the best thing

could happen would be that you all got together and put your own feelings aside and have you thought about what's best

for Charlie the baby's name is Harvey he was named after me it'll always be

Charlie to me I'll never forgive myself

I'm sorry I'm so sorry we could only

find the baby I never take him from you again to know that that's all any of us

want now how long has k*lling the baby been missing over four hours well this

is a very small island it can take too long to find him what are you sitting I've got a contract we should shove off

right away but I don't like to leave but the baby's still missing delivering cargo is your business finding babies

his mind

Chris go find a seaman take Kelly's place on the run no papi [Music]

holder one three five [Music]

I just open a can of sardines left one out for you who seems funny below

without Kelly no one's indispensable I just talked to inspector the shark they

haven't found the baby yet well if he's still missing by the time we get to pump it it will fly back and look for myself also made a radio check

on our position for less than two hours behind schedule I suppose good news we've had all day
