PIRATES OF THE XXTH CENTURY
The client with the cargo of opium
is starting for Vladivostok
tomorrow at 8 in the morning.
Well, the cargo is now yours.
Please...
It's regrettable, Captain,
that you can't stay for a day or two.
There's a very profitable
cargo for Japan.
This opium is indispensable
for the factory.
Just one factory needs
so much opium?
A big country
needs a lot of medicines.
- So it's straight home?
- Yes, straight home.

Man overboard!
On portside.
Lower the lifeboat!
Engine full stop!
How's he doing?
- Did he say who he was?
- He doesn't know a word of Russian.
You mean he didn't have his
visiting card with him?
If we didn't pick him up,
he would have been a goner.
The sharks must be not hungry
this year.
Which never happens to Mikosha.
The radio chief wants to see you
right away.
All right, I'm going.
- Did you make that up?
- What?
The line about the radio chief.
Of course I did.
Saleh...
Gosha...
Sit down, will you?
Did you have to swim a long way?
I think we'd do better with
the chief engineer here.
Why don't you go and get him?
Come in.
Sergey, we need your help over there.
- How is our shipwrecked sailor?
- Recovering. He's eating now.
Have him see me when he's finished.
The name of the ship was
"Samuel de Carlston".
They were sailing from Sidney to
Yokohama with cotton.
What happened to the ship?
The cotton caught fire.
It spread to the deck.
There was a lot of panic.
The crew began fighting for life-belts.
When did all this happen?
Yesterday after the sun was down.
So he's been in the water
for twenty hours.
Do you think
there were other survivors?
If you give us
the approximate co-ordinates,
then we could contact all the ships
in the area.
Captain, we've just sighted a ship
dead ahead of us.
I'm coming.
Nobody on deck watch,
and no one on the bridge.
- Doesn't seem to be any damage.
- No flags on her either.
What do you think could've
happened?
The crew must have abandoned
the ship.
Lower the lifeboat!
Shall I take charge?
Take two men with you,
and the Second Engineer.
Find out if it's anything mechanical.
You go along too, and call us
as soon as you find the radio.
Don't everybody go aboard.
Leave two man in the lifeboat.
Aye, aye.
I always thought that phantom ships
only exist in kiddies tales.
No matter what we do, you always
boil it down to a horror story.
Well, we'll soon find out
what's going on.
Slow ahead!
I can't see our men on the deck
anymore.
Maybe they're playing a joke on us.
Maybe we are in the Bermuda
Triangle.
Go get the radio operator!
Full astern!
Get going!
Take the engine room!
The bridge!
Hey, you men!
That was pretty well done.
You had it figured just right.
I knew they'd fish you out.
The Russians are relaxing.
We've locked them in the cabins.
Unload as quick as you can.
Right!
You want to know what I think?
I'm doing the thinking here.
Are you having second thoughts?
They've rescued you after all.
- I'm only joking.
- I don't like jokes.
Come on, move it!
Opium!
Move it, move it!
Now take it easy!
Watch out for the detonator. We
don't want to sink with the Russians.
The dynamite goes down
to the engine room!
That's it.
Come on, move it!
Come on! Keep down,
crawl on
