He's alive.
Probably survivors
from some torpedoed ship.
Hard starboard.
- Hard starboard.
- Hard starboard.
Slowly.
Stop. Lower a boat.
Let go of the grapple lashings.
Hurry.
Faster, faster.
Hurry.
Easy with them, men.
Pretty far gone.
I needed that.
We've been without food for 20 days.
Without water for five.
Then I won't plague you
Put these men in the aft house.
- Set up the extra cots.
- Aye, sir.
- Open up that door.
- Come on. Easy now.
Tell Cook to bring them some broth.
Then let them sleep.
And you might ask the men
if they can spare them some clothes.
Aye, sir.
Captain Malo, what is your opinion
of these fellows? Are they French?
One of them is, at least. But what would
they be doing in an Indian canoe?
They are not seamen, that's plain.
If we're off the African coast,
I'd wager 10-to-1 that they were deserters
from one of our disciplinary battalions.
Don't you say so, Major?
No, I do not.
Since we're not off the African coast,
your reasoning lacks something
of being brilliant.
Learn to examine the facts, man.
Use your eyes.
Captain Freycinet,
perhaps you can do better.
If you want the facts, you'd better let
the men explain for themselves.
I will, and hear a pack of lies.
You condemn them without a hearing?
Isn't that unfair?
No, it is not unfair,
because I know who they are.
- You mean you've seen them before?
- No, I never saw them before this morning.
But that is immaterial, since I have
certain modest deductive powers.
Lenoir was on the right track, though he
lacked the logic to carry it through.
These fellows have
Some of them may have served in the
disciplinary battalions, but not recently.
Gentlemen, beyond a shadow of a doubt,
they are fugitives from Devil's Island.
From Cayenne? lmpossible.
We are at least 1,500 miles from Cayenne.
Do you mean to tell me they have made
such a voyage in that small open canoe?
You don't know these fellows, Malo.
The type, I mean.
I was stationed in Cayenne
I learned the smell of the convict.
A more depraved and desperate set
of scoundrels cannot be found.
No matter what your opinion,
I suggest we hear
what they have to say for themselves.
As you wish.
I shall be amused at their lies
and by exposing them.
- We'll see, gentlemen.
- Thank you.
- Good evening.
- Good evening, sir.
Come to attention, you men.
You, too.
Haven't you been taught to stand
in the presence of officials?
No.
Never mind. This is a free ship
and not an armored compound.
I think we can all be seated.
Thank you, sir.
Well, you men seem
to be a long way from home.
