later. Fishing.

It's nice of Lou germain

to offer to help.

Truth is,

I was going to

ask him.

It's going to take

a good $300 worth

of credit--

a new drive shaft,

engine parts,

a new plank.

Pa, have you thought again

about doing what Lou did?

Go onto the mainland,

I mean.

Open

a boat agency,

or some inland job

we talked about?

At least there would

be no red plague

or hurricanes.

There might be

other things.

I guess.

Well, if you're going

to truck the boat into

ocala in the morning,

let's go to bed.

Would you want to live

on the mainland?

I just don't know

anymore.

Leave those till

morning, sweetheart.

Oh. I don't want

to forget this.

Do you expect him

to get all those chores

done before you get back?

He ought to.

I'll be gone at least

a couple of weeks.

[Squawking]

Dang you, Pete.

Don't you think

this is heavy enough?

Beat it.

Mom?

Mom, could

I please--

thanks, ma.

Tired?

Dragging tired.

I think you've done

enough for one day.

[Boat horn honks]

It's Kim

and her father.

They've come for me.

Ma, can I go?

Of course.

Hi, Sandy.

Hi, Kim.

Dad, this is

Sandy ricks.

Coming with us?

Oh, yes. Sir.

With the red plague

and the hurricane

is there any fish out there?

Oh, yes, sir.

If you know

the spots.

You're the pilot.

Cast off the line.

The plague hasn't

left very many fish,

but sometimes

there's one or two.

Sandy, you remember,

I told you my cousin

was coming with dad.

Bill jamison,

Sandy ricks.

Ah!

Come on, Sandy.

Be careful.

Hey, let's

go find bill.

[Dolphin screaming]

He's hurt.

What was it?

A dolphin.

Go get your pa.

Over there a little bit.

Sandy!

Doc barnett will know

what to do.

He's taken care of

just about everybody.

It's

a slight concussion,

but he's going

to be all right.

Sandy, I can't

thank you enough.

If bill's ok,

could we go back

to silver cove now?

Silver cove?

What for?

That dolphin, sir.

It has a spear in its side.

What could we do

for it?

My pa taught me

to put a dog or a cat

or any animal

out of its pain,

especially a dolphin,

because they beach

themselves before they die.

But, Sandy,

I've got to call

bill's mother

and tell her

what happened.

She may want me to

take bill in to see

the family doctor.

It won't

take long, dad!

Please, sir?

Dad?

Kim, it's not that

I don't want to.

Bill's mother would

never forgive me.

Please!

Sandy!

Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

[C*cks gun]

[Uncocks gun]

[Dolphin screeches]

[Screech]

[Moan]

Hey, go ahead.

You're free.

I cut you loose.

Swim!

Are you hurt that bad?

Please move!

Just a flipper

or something?

I can't leave you here

to die.

Can't you move at all?

[Screech]
