Adventures of the Seaspray (1966–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Bareknuckle Bay - full transcript
Dan: Wait here.
Mike: But, Dad--
Dan: I said, wait.
Man: I've had enough of you,
Wells. I'm running you out.
Dan: Talk sense, Goffe.
Goffe: I said,
Get out, company man.
Dan: I'm here on business.
Goffe: Our town,
our fishing, our business.
Dan: You're not
making sense, Goffe.
Goffe: That's your last words?
Dan: Southport can boost your
earnings by 10%
on a share profit basis.
There isn't a man here
who wouldn't benefit--
Mike: Let's go.
Mike: How's it going?
Dan: That's Bareknuckle Bay
around the point.
Mike: Boy, look at
that waterfall.
Dan: We'd better get Sue.
Mike: Hey, Sue!
Sue: What is it?
Mike: Look at that waterfall.
Sue: Beautiful.
Mike: Bareknuckle Bay,
just around the point.
Sue: Bareknuckle Bay?
Sounds spooky to me.
Dan: Hi there.
Man: You Dan Wells?
Dan: That's right.
You've been expecting me?
Man: Shove off, Captain.
Dan, chuckling: What?
Man: Shove off.
Mike: We've got a perfect right
to land here.
Dan: What's the trouble?
Man: No trouble for me, Captain.
The trouble's all yours.
Dan: Look, mister, I don't know
what you're talking about,
but I'm landing.
Man: Don't do it, Captain.
You could get a hard time
around here.
Dan: You think so?
Man: Know so.
Mike: Smells like gasoline.
Dan: It is.
Dan: Get the bucket!
[gasoline ignites]
Man: Get what I mean, Captain?
Why don't you shove off?
Mike: Look, mister, we've got--
Dan: Let me handle this.
Man: You couldn't handle
a hot potato, Captain.
Don't say we never warned you.
You'll come to grief
in this town.
Sue: What are you going
to do, Dad?
Dan: I'm going ashore.
Sue: Can I come, too?
Dan: Sorry, Sue.
This is a business trip.
Sue: I'm not going?
Dan: Willyum, you and Sue
stay aboard.
Mike: You going to take the gun?
Dan: What do you want to do,
start a war?
Woman: Hold it right there.
Back on the boat. Go on.
Dan: We don't frighten easy,
miss. We're going into town.
Woman:
Wake up to yourself, Captain.
You're not wanted here.
Dan: I've got a job to do,
and I'm going to do it.
Woman: We know why you're here.
The answer is no.
Dan: Do you have your
compass, Mike?
Mike: Yeah.
Dan: Let's have it.
We're going into town.
[Indistinct conversation]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Chatter stops]
Shopkeeper: You're the man
from Southport, aren't you?
Dan: I'm doing a job for
Southport Fisheries, yes.
Shopkeeper: They setting
up business here?
Dan: They're interested
in buying the catch, that's all.
Shopkeeper: Hmm, they don't go
much on fishing companies
in this town.
All private fishing here.
Dan: They might change
their minds
when they know what Southport
has to offer.
Shopkeeper: I doubt it.
Been family fishing
since the year one.
Now, you take, Ellis Goffe,
for instance. He--
Man: A package of smokes.
Shopkeeper: Oh, I'll be with you
in a minute.
Man: I'm in a hurry.
They're for Ellis Goffe.
Shopkeeper: Oh, sorry.
Two and sixpence, Mr. Thatch.
Thatch: Oh, sure, sure.
Shopkeeper: A busy little town.
Dan: Not all profit, is it?
- See you later.
- Come on, Mike.
Dan: Mike, don't try it.
All right. Let me through there.
Mike: Comedian.
Thatch: No, you don't.
Knock him, Joey.
Joey: With pleasure.
Man: Stop that!
Now, then, lads, this is no way
to treat visitors.
Well, good morning, Mr. Wells.
Mike: No, the way to treat 'em
is to burn up their boats,
point guns at them, and--
Dan: Forget it, Mike.
Man: Ha ha! They do all that?
Well, where's
your sense of humor, boy?
Dan: You're Ellis Goffe,
aren't you?
Ellis: Uh-huh.
Dan: I've heard about you.
Ellis: So?
Dan: Where can we talk?
Ellis: Talk right here. Why not?
Dan: Privately.
Ellis: No secrets in
Bareknuckle.
Haven't you heard?
We're one big, happy family.
Dan: All right.
Let's make it public.
Southport Fisheries are
offering a 10%--
Ellis: Oh, no time.
I'm a very busy man, Mr. Wells.
I've got a skiff
waiting out there.
Dan: Now, look here, Goffe.
Thatch: You heard him.
Dan: Talk sense, Goffe.
You can't close the doors on
Southport without a hearing.
They're offering good money
on the catch
and a 10% bonus
payment on every--
Ellis: Oh, I've got a message
for Southport, Mr. Wells.
[throws punch]
Dan: Thanks.
Man: Good fight?
Dan: Yeah, a real crowd-pleaser.
Man: Oh, that's all they know,
especially for a Southport man.
Mike: What's wrong with
Southport?
Man: Ellis Goffe won't share
the fishing rights with anyone,
not even the Lindsays
across the bay,
and they were here
before he was.
What chance has Southport got?
Dan: You seem
to know a lot about it.
Kevin: I should.
I'm Kevin Goffe.
Ellis Goffe's my father.
Thanks for standing up
to him like that.
Come with me a minute.
I want to show you something.
Dan: How do you
feel about Southport?
Kevin: That's why Dad and me
split up.
Dan: Over fishing rights?
Kevin: Ah, it was
more than that.
I'm friends with Toby Lindsay,
or was.
But we don't see that much of
each other now,
not since Dad starting fighting
the Lindsays.
Dan: How did this
fighting start?
Kevin: It started out there,
where everything starts
in Bareknuckle.
Dan: At sea?
Kevin: Mm-hmm, except it's not
a sea, it's a battlefield.
That's where Toby Lindsay's
father died five years ago.
We've been at war
with the Lindsays ever since.
Dan: Why?
Kevin:
They said my father killed him.
Mike: Killed him?
Kevin: My father was
Captain Lindsay's first mate.
They say he was behind the wheel
when the boat went down.
Dan: In a fog or a storm?
Kevin: He went to sleep
at the wheel, ran her aground.
Then he panicked
and jumped overboard.
Captain Lindsay went after
him and tried to save him.
Mike: The captain was lost.
Kevin: Drowned.
From that day on,
my father was a different man.
He became hard, tough.
Yeah, that was the end of
teamwork in Bareknuckle Bay.
[Gunshot]
Kevin: Crazy. She's crazy.
Jo, will you cut it out?!
Mike: Don't tell me.
I bet her name's Goffe.
Kevin: You're dead right.
That's my sister.
Kevin: Jo? Jo, listen.
We're not armed.
We don't even--
[gunshot]
[empty shotgun shell
is ejected]
Mike: Is this her idea of a joke
or what?
Dan: Think we can make it
to the truck?
Kevin: No, don't even think
about it.
She cut her teeth on Dad's
rifle. She's won gold medals.
Mike: I wish she'd go away
and win some more.
Kevin: Oh, don't worry.
She's only trying to scare us.
Mike: OK, I'm scared.
Dan: Hey, hold your fire.
We've got no fight with you.
Jo: What's the matter?
Lose your compass?
Dan: Listen to me.
Jo, do you hear me?
Jo: I got nothing to say
to a Southport man.
I told you to get out.
I meant it.
[shotgun shell is ejected]
Kevin: You all right?
Dan: I'm OK. Where's Mike?
Of all the--
Jo: Let go of me.
Kevin: Let her go.
She won't go far.
Mike: Boy, what's she wearing,
football boots?
Dan: Can you make it back
to the truck?
Mike: Yeah, it's not that bad.
Got any more at home like that?
Dan: Someone should
tell her guns are dangerous.
Kevin: You don't know my sister.
Dan: Does this town ever solve
anything without guns or fists?
Kevin: Oh, it's not that easy.
Dan: It's as easy
as a handshake.
Kevin: The Goffes and
the Lindsays? I don't think so.
Dan: Well, let's try.
Kevin: It's your life.
What do you want to do?
Dan: Let's go see the Lindsays.
Kevin: You've already had
a brush with my father.
You won't want another.
Dan: If I talk to Lindsay,
that's my business.
Kevin: Yeah, but I'm afraid
Dad won't see it that way.
Dan: Will you take me there?
Kevin: If you insist.
Kevin:
That's Toby Lindsay over there.
Dan: You coming with me?
Kevin: Sorry.
It's kind of embarrassing.
You know how it is.
Dan: Do you mind
if Mike goes with you?
Kevin: I'll be glad
of the company.
Mike: See you later, Dad.
We'll pick you up
in half an hour. OK?
Dan: Fine.
Mr. Lindsay, I'm Dan Wells.
I've been commissioned
by Southport Fisheries.
Toby: Yes, I heard.
Dan: I think you should
listen to what I have to say.
Toby: Did Ellis Goffe listen?
What did he say?
Dan: You know
the answer to that one.
Toby: I'll sign on
when he signs.
Dan: One of you has
to make the first move.
Toby: Make it him.
Get Goffe to sign.
Dan: Why don't the two of you
put the guns down?
Toby: You know, I never handled
a gun once in this fight.
I'm not a fighter.
I'm a fisherman.
It's not me-- pirates
and poachers that catch.
I never fouled a boat
or snared a net
or shorted a fuel tank.
I'm a fisherman.
Woman: Might be
better if you did, Toby.
We had our share
from the Goffes.
Toby: This is Dan Wells, Mother.
Mother: I know who it is.
Troublemaker.
Dan: I think you've got
it all wrong.
Mother: You think we ought to
share with the Goffes.
We don't share with that kind.
Dan: Have you ever tried?
Mother: Mr. Wells,
the Goffes took my husband.
Toby: Oh, that's past history.
Stop raking the grave.
Mother: What's past about it?
Toby: Oh, forget it.
Just forget it.
Dan: Perhaps he's right,
Mrs. Lindsay.
It might be better to forget.
Mother: Forget that Ellis Goffe
murdered my husband?
My husband was going to
sign with Southport.
The Goffes were dead against it,
and even called
a public meeting.
The next day, Ellis Goffe
caused my husband to drown.
Toby: It was an accident.
Why not blame the sea?
Dan: Wouldn't it be better to do
as your husband wished,
sign with Southport?
Mother: I wouldn't dot an i
for Ellis Goffe.
Dan: It's not for Goffe.
You'd all benefit.
Mother:
He'd benefit, too, wouldn't he?
Toby: It's no use, Wells.
You're wasting your time.
Mother: Whose side are you on?
Dan: What?
How do you mean?
Mother:
Ellis Goffe sent you, didn't he?
Dan: Look, I only got
here this morning.
I had a fight with Goffe,
he tried to burn my boat,
his daughter shot us up.
Goffe send me? I don't think so.
Mother: Like to even things up,
Mr. Wells?
Dan: What do you mean?
Dan: Sorry.
[vehicle door slams]
Mike: Dad!
Dan: What's the matter, Mike?
Mike: Trouble.
Goffe found out you were
talking to the Lindsays.
He's got his men together,
and they're armed.
They want to run us out of town.
Kevin said he knows a place
inland that we can go.
Dan: We're not going inland.
We're going into town.
Mother:
Care to change your mind?
Dan: Would you care to
change your mind?
Toby?
Dan: Wait here.
Mike: But, Dad--
Dan: I said, Wait.
Ellis: I've had enough of you,
Wells. I'm running you out.
Dan: Talk sense, Goffe.
Ellis: I said,
Get out, company man.
Dan: I'm here on business.
Goffe: Our town,
our fishing, our business.
Dan: You're not making sense,
Goffe.
Goffe: That's your last words?
Dan: Southport can boost your
earnings by 10%
on a share profit basis.
There isn't a man here
who wouldn't benefit--
Mike: Let's go.
[fires pistol]
Mother: Don't try it, Mr. Wells.
No one's going to stop me now.
Toby: Mother, don't be a fool.
Mother: You, too.
I'm going to finish this
the way it should have finished.
Ellis: Nan, don't do anything
you'll regret.
Mother: I don't know
the meaning of mercy, Ellis.
You're a coward. And because
of that, my husband died.
Thatch: That's not
the truth, Nan.
Ellis: That's enough, Thatch.
Don't say anymore.
Thatch:
It's time she learned the truth,
time all of us learned
the truth.
Ellis: Thatch, keep quiet.
Thatch: I've kept quiet for five
years,
and where did it leave us?
A community of
hate and violence. That's what.
Ellis: Nan, don't listen to him.
Thatch: I'll tell you what
I'm trying to say.
It wasn't Ellis Goffe who was
at the wheel that night.
It was your husband.
Ellis: Thatch, stop it.
Thatch: The brave captain was
dead drunk.
He ran us right into the cliffs.
It was your husband
who panicked and jumped.
And it was Ellis Goffe
who tried to save him.
Mother: Is this true?
Why didn't you tell us?
Ellis:
What for? The captain was dead.
It wouldn't have
brought him back.
Thatch:
Ellis took the blame, and...
look what it did to all of us.
Dan: Mrs. Lindsay,
I think it's about
time you all put the guns away.
Mother: What about you, Ellis?
Ellis: Go on, then.
If you say it's OK,
I'll sign it.
I've got to talk to my son.
They talk about me!
You're more stubborn
than I ever was.
Kevin: Let's go, Dad. We
can talk when we see the doc.
Ellis: OK.
Sue: But what happened?
What really happened?
Mike: Not that much.
Sue: What did happen?
Mike: I told you.
We saw a couple of men
and talked business.
Sue: Then how come
Dad has a black eye?
Mike: Well, there was a bit
of a fight.
Dan: What's this about a fight?
Sue: Mike says you were
in a fight.
Dan: Oh, that?
It was nothing much.
Sue: What happened?
Dan: Hardly anything,
nothing worth talking about.
Sue: I never get
into any of these things.
Dan: Never mind, Sue.
Perhaps you'll
be luckier next time.
Mike: But, Dad--
Dan: I said, wait.
Man: I've had enough of you,
Wells. I'm running you out.
Dan: Talk sense, Goffe.
Goffe: I said,
Get out, company man.
Dan: I'm here on business.
Goffe: Our town,
our fishing, our business.
Dan: You're not
making sense, Goffe.
Goffe: That's your last words?
Dan: Southport can boost your
earnings by 10%
on a share profit basis.
There isn't a man here
who wouldn't benefit--
Mike: Let's go.
Mike: How's it going?
Dan: That's Bareknuckle Bay
around the point.
Mike: Boy, look at
that waterfall.
Dan: We'd better get Sue.
Mike: Hey, Sue!
Sue: What is it?
Mike: Look at that waterfall.
Sue: Beautiful.
Mike: Bareknuckle Bay,
just around the point.
Sue: Bareknuckle Bay?
Sounds spooky to me.

Dan: It's not for Goffe.
You'd all benefit.
Mother:
He'd benefit, too, wouldn't he?
Toby: It's no use, Wells.
You're wasting your time.
Mother: Whose side are you on?
Dan: What?
How do you mean?
Mother:
Ellis Goffe sent you, didn't he?
Dan: Look, I only got
here this morning.
I had a fight with Goffe,
he tried to burn my boat,
his daughter shot us up.
Goffe send me? I don't think so.
Mother: Like to even things up,
Mr. Wells?
Dan: What do you mean?
Dan: Sorry.
[vehicle door slams]
Mike: Dad!
Dan: What's the matter, Mike?
Mike: Trouble.
Goffe found out you were
talking to the Lindsays.
He's got his men together,
and they're armed.
They want to run us out of town.
Kevin said he knows a place
inland that we can go.
Dan: We're not going inland.
We're going into town.
Mother:
Care to change your mind?
Dan: Would you care to
change your mind?
Toby?
Dan: Wait here.
Mike: But, Dad--
Dan: I said, Wait.
Ellis: I've had enough of you,
Wells. I'm running you out.
Dan: Talk sense, Goffe.
Ellis: I said,
Get out, company man.
Dan: I'm here on business.
Goffe: Our town,
our fishing, our business.
Dan: You're not making sense,
Goffe.
Goffe: That's your last words?
Dan: Southport can boost your
earnings by 10%
on a share profit basis.
There isn't a man here
who wouldn't benefit--
Mike: Let's go.
[fires pistol]
Mother: Don't try it, Mr. Wells.
No one's going to stop me now.
Toby: Mother, don't be a fool.
Mother: You, too.
I'm going to finish this
the way it should have finished.
Ellis: Nan, don't do anything
you'll regret.
Mother: I don't know
the meaning of mercy, Ellis.
You're a coward. And because
of that, my husband died.
Thatch: That's not
the truth, Nan.
Ellis: That's enough, Thatch.
Don't say anymore.
Thatch:
It's time she learned the truth,
time all of us learned
the truth.
Ellis: Thatch, keep quiet.
Thatch: I've kept quiet for five
years,
and where did it leave us?
A community of
hate and violence. That's what.
Ellis: Nan, don't listen to him.
Thatch: I'll tell you what
I'm trying to say.
It wasn't Ellis Goffe who was
at the wheel that night.
It was your husband.
Ellis: Thatch, stop it.
Thatch: The brave captain was
dead drunk.
He ran us right into the cliffs.
It was your husband
who panicked and jumped.
And it was Ellis Goffe
who tried to save him.
Mother: Is this true?
Why didn't you tell us?
Ellis:
What for? The captain was dead.
It wouldn't have
brought him back.
Thatch:
Ellis took the blame, and...
look what it did to all of us.
Dan: Mrs. Lindsay,
I think it's about
time you all put the guns away.
Mother: What about you, Ellis?
Ellis: Go on, then.
If you say it's OK,
I'll sign it.
I've got to talk to my son.
They talk about me!
You're more stubborn
than I ever was.
Kevin: Let's go, Dad. We
can talk when we see the doc.
Ellis: OK.
Sue: But what happened?
What really happened?
Mike: Not that much.
Sue: What did happen?
Mike: I told you.
We saw a couple of men
and talked business.
Sue: Then how come
Dad has a black eye?
Mike: Well, there was a bit
of a fight.
Dan: What's this about a fight?
Sue: Mike says you were
in a fight.
Dan: Oh, that?
It was nothing much.
Sue: What happened?
Dan: Hardly anything,
nothing worth talking about.
Sue: I never get
into any of these things.
Dan: Never mind, Sue.
Perhaps you'll
be luckier next time.
