She's not in the safe,

I can tell you that.

- Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

That's okay, Mike, don't worry

about me. I'm just fine too.

Well, what do you know.

Now, that's one way to crack a safe.

- Where do you think you're going?

- Let's not wait around for the cops.

- 1796.

- How much you think they're worth?

A hundred times its weight in gold.

Bort.

- What?

- Bort.

- What's that?

- Industrial diamonds.

How much are they worth?

Oh, I'd say 3 to 400,000 dollars' worth.

Now, wait a minute.

Tell me the truth, is this really ours?

Yeah, the law of salvage.

Pack up and let's get out of here.

Can you see us now, Mike? Can you

see us along the Riviera now, huh?

Why, we're rich.

You know what? We don't need

a bank anymore, do we, huh?

No bank for us anymore.

We're filthy, stinking...

Great, great. So you're all rich.

Puke, son.

That's fine Saint-Emilion, 19 and 61.

Whole ship's rocking pretty bad,

ain't it, captain?

How you doing, Tex?

Well, I gotta confess,

I've had smoother crossings in my day.

Name's Dewey Hopkins.

I'm from Big D, Texas.

That's Dallas, folks.

With your permission, captain,

I'd like to buy the house a round.

Much obliged, Tex, but we're here

on a pretty tricky, salvage operation.

I'm Captain Mike Turner,

this here's Wilbur and Celeste, my crew.

- How you doing?

- Pleased to meet you.

Tell you what, Captain Mike.

You just salvaged yours truly

out of this here wreck.

There's 100,000 in it for your trouble.

I can't take your money, Tex.

Anyway, I don't need it now.

Well, as one man of substance

to another, let's go right to the mat.

I mean, let's not pussyfoot around.

A hundred and fifty thousand

for the three of us.

They're with me.

There's nobody there, sport.

- You're seeing double.

- Triple, maybe.

They must've got lost.

Hey!

Hey, come on out here, y'all...

...and get yourselves rescued.

- Theresa! Theresa!

- Daddy.

Oh, thank God.

Thank you.

- Would somebody catch this, please?

- My baby.

- I didn't think I'd see you again.

I love you, baby.

He knew she was alive somewhere.

He just knew it.

- Oh, my baby.

- Daddy, this is Larry Simpson.

He saved my life.

and the ship turned over.

- I was operating it.

- My baby.

We tried to get out,

but the passageway was on fire.

I fainted, but he pulled me out.

My baby. Look, look, kid, l...

I'm never gonna forget you for this.

Here, here. Your dress is torn.

All right, folks...
