Ghost Ship

DODGE (V.O. RADIO)

(taking the radio)

If it started out at twenty an hour

the piece of shit'd be at the bottom

of the Gulf by now. Whether it'll

make St. Lawrence is anybody's guess.

EXT. OPEN OCEAN - DAY

HIGH AND WIDE as the Arctic Warrior pulls the barge against

the swell of a grey ocean and a darkening sky.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. PORT GERMAINE - ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND - DAY

The shores of St. Lawrence Island open into a small port

town of mainly pre-fab buildings as the Arctic Warrior

approaches with the barge, now pathetically listing to one

side as it moves into the harbor.

EXT. PORT GERMAINE - DOCKS - LATER - DAY

A smaller harbor tug helps the Arctic Warrior jockey the

listing barge to the dock as Epps and Dodge jump off to tie

her up.

INT. ARCTIC WARRIOR - PILOTHOUSE - MOMENTS LATER - DAY

Greer feathers the tug into position and shuts down the

turbines.

EXT. ARCTIC WARRIOR - CONTINUOUS - DAY

Murphy jumps down from the pilothouse to the deck as a fat

Russian man, Vasili (60) and a MECHANIC in grease-covered

orange coveralls approach from the dock.

VASILI:

I thought you say Tuesday.

MURPHY:

Better late than never.
