I waited up for you.

Come on, play with me.

Not now.

Maybe-maybe later, huh?

Straight whiskey.

You promised.

All right, Timmy.

That's enough.

Off to bed now.

Good night, General.

- Here you are, darling.

- Thank you.

Relax.

Daddy, how many soldiers

did you kill today?

I didn't have time

to count them all, General.

Go!

Come on, keep your heads down!

Keep your heads down.

Go! Go!

Go! Keep it down!

Keep low! Go! Go!

Go! Keep down!

All right, go!

Keep down! Keep down!

Down!

Move! Fast, fast!

Still at it, eh?

I saw the RTS test.

It's a beautiful job.

It really does scramble radar.

I told Captain Franklin that we'd like one

mounted on the masthead, okay?

- Look, if I'm in your way-

- You're not.

Jamie,

I told you from the start

what I think about this operation.

Now, if that offends you,

get someone else.

I don't want someone else,

I want you.

But I want all that you have to give.

You're getting it.

And Franklin?

Well, he's hardly a convert,

but despite what you think of him,

he's a very good officer.

This scrambler was his brainchild.

He delivers, Jamie.

Then where are the ships and equipment

that I ordered three weeks ago?

Supplies are pretty tight these days.

You wouldn't kill me, would you?

The Royal Navy wouldn't be trying

to give me the Royal you-know-what.

- A lost order here, a slow delivery-

- Come off it, Jamie.

You think the Royal Navy's

got nothing better to do

than to wet-nurse you?

Kimberly here.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Bye.

That was Franklin's office.

Your equipment will be in

at noon tomorrow.

Put some beef into it.

Make it real.

They must be out of their minds.

Who do they think they're kidding?

They're not kidding.

Captain Franklin and Don are aboard

the Sweeper inspecting her now.

This is it, huh?

This is it.

This stinking little bathtub.

Now, just a minute, sir.

- This is a fighting ship?

- I beg your pardon.

Major Wilson, Lieutenant Forrester.

Sir, this vessel's a ship of the Line

in His Majesty's Navy

and has had nine battle engagements.

I am her skipper.

According to Captain Franklin,

she is now expendable

because of some crazy notion

of the Army, who, it seems to me,

ought to stay in their own britches.

With your permission, sir,

I'll leave you to figure out

the details of the execution

while I go below

and comfort her ancient bones.

You don't miss a chance to slur

and downgrade this operation, do you?

Even to the skipper

of this garbage scow.

Well, it won't work.

You want to scuttle Mad Dog,

but it won't work.

This heap of scrap is not acceptable,

and neither are those

waterlogged fishing smacks.

I'm going over your head, Captain.
