Have her fax it.

197

00:
15:11,506 -- 00:15:12,656

Fine.

198

00:
15:14,173 -- 00:15:16,813

Right. Tell me about Bunker Hill.

199

00:
15:23,798 -- 00:15:25,868

''To all the ships at sea

and all the ports of call.

200

00:
15:26,214 -- 00:15:29,574

To my family and to all

friends and strangers. ''

201

00:
15:29,964 -- 00:15:31,844

-No ''Dear Catherine''?

-Not this time.

202

00:
15:32,172 -- 00:15:34,212

The stationery

and typewriter check out.

203

00:
15:34,547 -- 00:15:38,227

We think maybe this is

the first one or the final one.

204

00:
15:39,214 -- 00:15:41,494

''This is a message and a prayer.

205

00:
15:41,839 -- 00:15:44,719

The message is that my travels

taught me a great truth.

206

00:
15:45,089 -- 00:15:47,839

l already had what

everyone is searching for. . .

207

00:
15:48,213 -- 00:15:49,853

. . .and few ever find:

208

00:
15:50,172 -- 00:15:53,242

The one person in the world

who l was born to love forever.

209

00:
15:53,630 -- 00:15:55,670

A person like me, of the Outer Banks. . .

210

00:
15:56,046 -- 00:15:57,526

. . .and the blue Atlantic mystery. ''

211

00:
15:57,838 -- 00:15:59,508

Outer Banks.

That's North Carolina.

212

00:
15:59,921 -- 00:16:02,721

Right. But it's about a dozen towns.

213

00:
16:03,088 -- 00:16:06,318

Only four support a boat-building

and restoring company.

214

00:
16:06,713 -- 00:16:07,593

Then we got him.

215

00:
16:07,879 -- 00:16:10,789

We've got stringers there,

and a sister paper in Wilmington.

216

00:
16:11,171 -- 00:16:13,761

l bet we find this guy

before the week's out.

217

00:
16:14,754 -- 00:16:16,024

Any bets, girls?

218

00:
16:19,671 -- 00:16:20,551

What?

219

00:
16:20,837 -- 00:16:21,637

l want to go.

220

00:
16:21,921 -- 00:16:23,191

She wants to do it.

221

00:
16:23,670 -- 00:16:25,260

You find this guy, then what?

222

00:
16:25,587 -- 00:16:27,977

l don't know. l'm not sure.

But l want to go.

223

00:
16:28,379 -- 00:16:30,739

Can't spare you. Need you here.

224

00:
16:32,337 -- 00:16:36,567

You're the one that sent me to lndia

for the column on smokestacks.

225

00:
16:37,003 -- 00:16:40,123

You sent her to Texas for 3 days,

talking to Marines.

226

00:
16:40,503 -- 00:16:41,773

That was different.

227

00:
16:42,087 -- 00:16:43,997

Why do you have to

do this personally?

228

00:
16:44,336 -- 00:16:46,376

What do you mean?

l'm intrigued, so what?

229

00:
16:46,711 -- 00:16:47,541

lntrigued?

230

00:
16:47,836 -- 00:16:49,586

What if he's covered in tattoos. . .

231

00:
16:49,920 -- 00:16:51,910

. . .and has four serious convictions?

232

00:
16:52,544 -- 00:16:53,504

Tell her.

233

00:
16:55,669 -- 00:16:57,069
