Last one there goes to prison!
Wait, that's not fair Wait for me!
I said if you want to see a clattering engine
Stop by the Commons on the 1st Friday of the month
What do you think is?
Might just be a drill
Very strange, don't you think? Haven't you heard?
Heard what?
A rupture of some sort in the engine
Oh, here comes someone
Excuse me, where do you think he's going?
Hello?
Take one, keep moving please
Take one
Did you say this way? Everything will be fine
Upstairs and turn left
I don't like this madness
Are we sinking? No. Upstairs, turn left
Everything will be fine
Just continue upstairs, please
Keep moving, please
Sir, keep moving, please
There you go, Sir
Are there at least enough lifeboats this time?
Keep calm, go upstairs please
Hello?
Mrs Ratch?
The porter found her 20 minutes ago
And?
Apparently her husband used an axe
Oh my God
The lunatic hasn't stopped whistling since he got here
The little girl?
We're still looking
Daddy? Is that you?
In the flesh
Mum..Mum's hurt
It's horrible
Captain! Why aren't you upstairs?
I was, but an incident occurred with one of the passengers
Take care of it There's been a murder
Let's find the Captain
But first, can you help me out this bind?
Where..is..she?
Thank you, Cassandra
Daddy? My name is Jackie.
Where..is..she?
No! No!
Right, anyone asks, we're Mr and Mrs William Howe
Are you sure they cancelled?
Who am I? Our niece
They might just be delayed have you thought of that?
Stop worrying. Apparently Mrs Howe's weak stomach
Caused her so much upset
She's still clinging to a toilet bowl
Do I have to use my real name?
Why? Jackie is so boring!
How about..Cassandra?
That's a terrible name.
I was fine in 3rd class dining
I wasn't
Were you? Mm-hmm.
Oh, what does a 7-year-old know?
8! Really?
Have you any idea what will happen
If they catch us impersonating other guests?
Thank you.
We, err, reserved a table. The name is Howe.
William Howe?
Ah, yes. Er, you cancelled.
Well, we're here now.
That table is no longer available.
I'm sorry, Mr Howe.
And it was for two guests, only.
Captain..Howe
Army, Sir?
Infantry. Northern Ireland.
Did you serve?
Royal Engineers. Palestine
Oh, bugger
Blasted lighter.
Could have sworn I brought it with me.
Well..Captain Howe
Shall we see about that table?
Happy Halloween!
And boy, oh, boy, have we got a show or you tonight!
So, come and join us on the dance floor
And let's 'raise some spirits'!
This is you, Sir.
Ah, perhaps you have something a little more
Central, for an old army pal?
My usual table.
Reserved, I'm afraid.
Typical army engineer.
Technically correct but of no use to anyone.
Enjoy your evening, Sir.
Oh, fuck off.
Darling, please.
This is fine.
He's a movie producer.
Made the one about a couple who have a child out of wedlock
With hilarious consequences.
One Up, One Down? Yeah, Yeah. Quite liked it.
Heard he was in London making a picture with Fred Astaire
Really?
I should go over and introduce myself.
No No
You always say
If an opportunity comes along, grab it
Yeah, I do, but never beg.
Opportunity is slippery.
It's like trying to catch a fish with bare hands.
The trick is to wait and let it come to you
Then when it gets close
Grab it!
And don't let it go
No matter how much it begs and tries to slip away.
Hold on tight.
And don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
How long must I wait?
Haven't you heard?
Patience is next to godliness.
Right. Who else needs a drink?
The quality of the work, the quality Mom
the, the quality of the work and the story you tell
that is all very important,
But the, the truth of the matter is Mom
Um, yes. Yes?
Why can't ghosts move on?
Er, what does your book say?
Nothing. Well, it is a good question.
The quality of the work, and the story you tell...
Dad should write about it in his book.
Er, I'm not sure that's the angle they want to take.
Well, then change his mind.
Who wants to read about boring old architecture
On a haunted ship?
What?
Um, well, maybe we should leave it
For the people in charge to decide.
I hope they say yes.
It's been ages since the 3 of us did anything
Yep. Feels that way.
He might as well live in a different country.
Well, it's kind of appropriate, then
That we are meeting on a ship that has travelled the whole world.
Or a different continent. Honey, you're being a little dramatic
You just needed time to settle in.
You know, new home new school, new friends
Yeah, right. What?
Nothing. I told you
Those kids don't know what they're talking about.
That is why they're kids.
Do you believe them?
Then you are just as stupid as they are.
No, I'm not! No, you're not You're not
A sailor went to
I'm not 4
Right
Okay
Go do some of that ghost hunting, honey.
For 31 years
The Queen Mary served as a majestic city of the sea.
Now she's dropped anchor for the final time.
Closing out a career
Unequalled in the history of commercial sea voyaging
A career that took her through a depression
A world war, a period of unequalled glory
And a last great voyage.
Well, I would describe this Queen Mary's the most elegant
And the finest ship that has ever sailed any of the oceans.
The saddest thing is I think to ever happen
Because this has got to be one of the most beautiful ships that was, er
Anyone's ever built
We feel that The Queen Mary will be sort of
The crown jewel in what we hope will be
The foremost water recreation development in the entire United States
Their predictions are as high as 2 and a half million people a year
Will be coming down to visit and board The Queen Mary for its various activities
The quality of the work and the story that you tell, the pictures
That's all very quality, the quality
Dad! Dad! Hey, son!
I have missed you.
Me too!
Hi, Patrick Hey..Anne
Glad you made it,
Although you are a little late, but that's fine.
Sorry. I rung ahead, let them know.
You wanna go through it again, or?
The pitch? Yeah.
Um, I'm good if you are?
I'm, I'm good. Er, well, although, er
The publisher thinks a more holistic approach is needed.
Um, books, website, 3D tour?
Guests have reported
Seeing a woman in white playing piano
A war bride, who, after learning her husband died
Serving in France took her own life
You can pick up a limited-edition doll of the woman in white
In the gift shop on your way out.
Next, we'll see where Fred Astaire once danced the Cha Cha
I'm half expecting Fred Astaire to jump out and try sell me a hoover
So, what's this about a 3D tour? Oh, sorry
Er, you know, I just thought you could mention it to him.
It, it's a big thing to just mention.
There are no visuals no concept work
Besides we've been through this Hey, uh
The ship's almost 80 years old Hey, Dad
It deserves something I'm thirsty
You can feel and touch. Something that lasts.
Can I get a frappe? Er, sure.
No, honey. Who lets a kid drink coffee?
Oh, come on! Fine.
Hang on, I'll give you water.
Oh, forget it.
With or without all this.
But, er, you don't agree?
No, I do, I do. I think you're incredibly noble.
Well, thank you. And righteous.
Yeah, keep going. And have amazing intentions.
I feel like the idea is a little dated.
I don't know what a book is gonna do
To save The Queen Mary.
Get your God damn freaking hands off me!
If I catch you sneaking in here one more time,
I swear to God, I'll crack your head open.
So, I've been published 3 times
Oh, we're counting academic papers now?
All warmly received.
Welcome to L.A.
These days.
So, what do you think?
Look, isn't the real reason you wanted to work on this
So you can spend time with
Hey, buddy.
Huh? Yeah?
Er..you wanna go on the haunted tour
While your mom has her boring meeting?
Yeah!
Good luck. Thank you.
Yeah
Come on. Bye, Mom!
I'll be fine.
Captain. Oh, Gibson
I've looked at your proposal
Oh, right. Let's be clear
We're on the world's fastest ocean liner.
And all you're thinking about is how to make us go faster.
I like it Yes, Sir, about that
Passengers travel on The Queen Mary
Because of 2 words, Blue Riband
Not just an award for fastest transatlantic crossing
But a guarantee
Evening, gentlemen Captain
So, if our rivals want the title of world's fastest
Well, fuel consumption is the new battle ground.
Not propulsion.
Slow? Gibson, why haven't you rung off full ahead?
Yes, Sir, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Standing still would mean
Almost certain death for a project of this magnitude.
So, when the Great Depression halted construction for over a year
A deal was struck
for Cunard to merge with White Star Line.
Owners of the ill-fated Titanic.
Creating Cunard White Star
Steam was generated in massive furnaces
Superheated and passed to engine at 700 degrees Fahrenheit
About 400 pound per square inch Phew!
Now, I don't mean to scare y'all
but this was the scene of an accident in 1938,
When steam built up behind an emergency door
Escaped, killing an engineer
Shutting down the main engine.
Guests have since reported hearing his haunting scream
Dad! Throughout the ship.
Hey, Dad!
Dad!
She survived head on collisions
Hitler's relentless wolf packs and even a 100-foot rogue wave
Causing many to believe her blessed.
Mrs Calder?
Mrs Calder.
Miss. Oh, Miss Calder.
Yes, Yes. Hello, Hello
Um, Mr Torres?
Er, no, er, Charles Bittner.
Are you the historian?
I'm our, er, humble Captain.
I work directly with Mr Torres our historian. You were delayed?
He asked if I'd fill in.
Oh, please.
Shit.
Hello?
Pipes started shaking
So I reduced the speed.
And? Problem's coming from in there.
It's hot to the touch.
I wouldn't venture in there.
My guess is cracked steam pipes and a cocktail of superheated oil.
That room is probably 700 degrees.
We need to shut her down, Captain.
Let the engineers do their work.
No.
Reduce speed to 15 knots
Captain, it only takes a spark from All that clatter down here
You must've lost your hearing.
I said do not stop.
By all means, find a way to reduce the pressure and speed.
Gradually.
But do not stop.
And the next time you decide to slow my ship without my consent
I'll leave you at the nearest port.
Yes, Captain.
H..Hello?
Are you lost?
How old are you?
8
Me too
Hello?
Down here.
I didn't know there still was a ship's Captain.
There is not But don't tell anyone
I just like the suit
So, why a book about us, exactly?
I am a digital marketing consultant
And my
My son is obsessed with ghost stories
A little too obsessed actually and
Bittner, are you there?
Well, er, one day he has this dream and he says to me
Mom, I had a dream that I was on The Queen Mary
And I was like, Oh, you know we should go visit
And he said, No, I had a dream we lived there
Not kidding.
And so, you know, it got me thinking
Um, what about doing a book from a child's perspective?
Hmm Exploring the ship and some of the
Stranger stories
Ghost stories? Yes, the ghost stories.
And also explore the ship's rich history
And we could raise awareness and we could help save it
I didn't know we needed saving.
Just what I see in the media.
Stories.
Right. Stories.
You know, we're pretty used to stories around here,
I mean, people have said we're a doorway for the dead.
And although we're famous for our fiction,
You know, sometimes facts can be much stranger.
Did you know in 1942, while, er transporting German and Italian prisoners
She collided with one of our own escort ships?
Sank it. Killing all but 99 of its 400 sailors.
And she just continued on with little more than a scratch.
Would you take me on a tour?
Beautiful.
Oh, yes, we have exactly 596 working clocks
Aboard The Queen Mary
Wow. Really is a time machine in here.
We should definitely get all these details in the book.
Well, the Queen's Salon was a social hub at night
Winston Churchill used to sit over there
Alfred Hitchcock drank his Martini there
And Bob Hope wrote his column over there
Tourists, they love that
You know, knowing what famous people did
Where they went.
Is there anything else you can show me?
People came here to enjoy glamour.
They still do.
We host brunch on Sundays.
Wedding receptions Corporate parties
You know, Bar-mitzvahs and what-not
Oh, throughout the voyage
Er, those ships marked The Queen's Mary's location along the Atlantic
Unfortunately, they stopped working after we permanently docked in '67
We could capture these fascinating details in a wholly original way.
Well, other people have taken pictures.
How do you propose your book will be any different?
The quality of the work and the story you tell with the pictures,
That's all very important. But
Have you ever thought about virtual reality?
Imagine taking a tour of The Queen Mary.
Not as it is now, but
As it was in, I don't know, 1938 or even 1944
What would that entail?
On site time. Just the scanning.
The coding we could do from anywhere.
But we would need to cover..every inch of the ship
You're fucking kidding me?
I'm sorry?
Thank you, Miss Calder.
I'll, er, pass this along to Mr Torres and we'll get back to you.
Over here is the grand salon
And, er, if you'll all come this way, we'll go to our
He seems traumatised.
I just..sorry, I turned around he was just gone and I
How'd the meeting go?
Fine.
Um, I was thinking, if this book thing goes well
Maybe we could try again.
Settle down, buy a house.
I'm the only one still renting at my firm, so
Does now feel like the right time to be talking about this?
All I wanna do is know
that we're thinking the same thing for our son.
'Cause Lukas needs stability we, we both need stability, right?
There is no we
And he's not your son. Come on.
We, we, we raised him together.
You can't just move to another town and shut me out.
Stop it, it's way overdue we all moved on.
I, I hear what you're saying, but it's a house, not a prison.
You always made it feel
So God damn permanent.
Jackie, darling.
If I'm doing that I, I'm not aware
You mustn't worry.
Move to another town and We have to move forward
You're going to a new home.
This is your home.
You die here, you stay here forever.
Honey, are you okay?
Wait for us there.
And we'll be a family again.
We found him. No big deal.
He's wet. Yeah, I can see that
You know, but otherwise unharmed.
Come on, let's get you home and dry.
You poor thing.
Miss Calder! Wait, wait! Miss Calder!
Miss Calder? Charles Bittner.
Good news.
We'd like you and your family to come back
And work on that exciting project.
Mr Torres thinks is a great idea.
Luckily, we've renovation scheduled this weekend
So, you'll have the, er the entire ship to yourself
I'm on the lookout for my next big star
She could be right here in this room
You just never know
Where are you going?
How's he supposed to notice me if I'm planted to a chair?
I told you, we don't beg, ever
Well, I say let the cards decide
No, we shouldn't draw attention.
What if somebody else questions and we've to explains things?
Things? Things
We were offered tickets to America and we took 'em.
What's wrong with that?
They paid me to read their fortune.
I told them they'd die if they left London.
Who's to say they wouldn't?
That was wrong. It's not what the cards said.
We were fine in 3rd class
We don't belong there and neither does she.
Hmm-mm.
Now then, put that in your pipe.
Have you seen George's new film?
Oh, it's simply divine.
Hepburn lights up every room.
Including the box office.
I don't know how to compare it to some of his earlier pictures
Probably not as entertaining as 2 Dinosaurs Meet While Ice Skating
But it is just magical, wouldn't you agree?
Excuse me, Sir.
Now, you may ask, what is the distinction between
Subject matter and style
But this is a cinematic I'm a dancer
Experiment in style I'd to audition for your next movie
What now, my dear?
I'm a dancer.
I'd like to audition for your next movie.
I'm the star you've been looking for
Did your parents not teach you that it is very rude
To come to a table uninvited? Oh, Viktor. Come now.
Good evening, your name please.
Mr and Mrs Howe.
Frightfully sorry I had to cancel earlier.
My wife is feeling much better now.
Is there a table still free?
What happened?
Oh.
David.
He once asked, can I give him a scoop?
A scoop, I said, of what ice cream?
Well, I'm a sherbet..
Excuse me.
Sir, that's my girl you just spoke to.
She's, er, just a little upset
Now
I apologise that she interrupted you
But she wants to be in movies more than anything and, er
And now she's just a little upset.
She's talking about abandoning her dream
Which upset my wife.
Oh, we're also performers.
Now, she's a dancer. A very good one.
Better than that Ginger Rogers.
Oh, she is? Oh!
You'll be doing me a big favour if you just reconsider.
You, you see what see can do, you won't be sorry.
Please.
And who are you?
My thought exactly.
Go home. We'll reschedule.
Why would you invite us here and then tell us to go home?
Isn't the book from your son's perspective?
Er, yeah, but
Well, so he should be here.
It's empty now. It's the perfect time to do it.
Oh, we refurbish all the time Yeah, tourism is eating this ship alive
People come, they take things.
Souvenirs that cost us a fortune.
You know the worst offender?
I mean, you'll laugh.
Mould.
What, mould? Hmm.
Such a tiny nuisance, you know.
We got leaking roofs dripping air ducts
Sweating plumbing pipes and all this..damp
I mean, you wouldn't think it when you're up there in the fresh air
But below deck is the perfect breeding ground
For some really..nasty organisms
Which might explain why your son is sick.
Tell me, did Lukas mention the ship when you got home?
He said he left his camera in the pool area.
Pool? His clothes were wet.
No, pockets of stagnant water.
Poor ventilation.
He said the pool.
When we docked in '67 the boilers came out
So did the pool above it
It was a tragedy, really. She was a real pearl. But...
Look, er, I know this isn't the same without Lukas.
So how about when you come back
I'll give you a deluxe all access, tour
With me as your guide, yeah?
And, er, this is you.
I had to leave my very sick son..at home
In order to come here because he knows this is, um
A last chance for us.
I even had to call my very unpleasant mother
to ask her to watch him.
And as you can imagine, I don't like calling her for anything
We are just not leaving here empty handed
Captain
I am not asking you I am begging you
Okay
Okay!
But, er, anything below M deck is restricted
He's not exactly Captain material, is he?
If you don't wanna do this, I understand.
I'm here, aren't I?
Your mask, Sir. Remove it.
My mask? What does that have to do with anything?
There is a special place in hell
For men who impersonate war heroes
If you're not who you claim to be, then who are you?
Should anything happen to your father or I, stay here.
Come with me, Sir.
What on earth are you doing?
Give me your hands. Come on.
Just see what she can do. Just see what she can do.
Your, er, film, One Up, One Down. Didn't think much of it.
The plot wasn't very realistic.
Oh, a critic.
This, no doubt, is why he hides his face.
A parent would do anything for their child.
Even if it requires looking rather..foolish
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
I told you, I told you, I told you he'd be there.
Darling. Yeah?
Your mask Oh
D'you think she bought it?
Yes Hmm
You were magnificent.
A little part of me feels bad we had to lie.
How else is she supposed to learn to perform when it counts?
Still, it's one thing to have an opportunity, it's another to take it
And she will.
With her talent
She won't need to scrimp and scrape like we did.
Every door will be held open, every opportunity laid out
Before she even sets foot off this ship.
I'll see you back in the cabin.
Yeah.
How did you know that she'd pick the fortune card?
Shit.
Excuse me. Do Dinosaurs on Ice Skates.
Apologies for my friend earlier.
Was your father in the army?
Yes. He was in the Varlets.
So, he entertained the troops.
Sounds like a hero to me!
Well, here's the thing.
I wanted to ask if you'd mind a dance.
Mr Astaire!
Please, call me Fred.
Fred. I'm your biggest fan!
You are?
Well, I think that's made my day.
If you wanna sleep, I'll wait.
Could be a long night.
I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Urgh.
Are you hungry?
Not really.
I might look around
And see if I can find a vending machine or something.
Yeah, I know.
We have to talk about it.
I'm still trying to, you know, process everything you've told me.
But I, I, I can't get my head around it
I Maybe later?
Yeah
Honey! We leave for Long Beach in 5 minutes!
Lukas?
Is everything okay?
Oh my God, what are you doing?!
Where is she?!
She said she'd find me!
Just come inside.
I'm never going back in that ship!
Take my hand, please. Lukas.
That's not my name!
Oh, grave, thy victory
Set alarm, 45 minutes Set, sleep calm
Hello
Tonight, let's go to a far-off place.
Using my words in your dreams.
Where time dissolves like shifting desert sands.
And the truth of what happened.
Now, focus on the dark.
Bingo
Come on.
Urgh!
Urgh. Urgh. Argh.
Come on!
Urgh!
Ha.
Jackie..went..away
Never..to..return
Where..is..she?
Where is she?
I come bearing
Where is she?
She must've slipped out.
No. I told her to stay here.
You have to let me inside. Out of the question.
Good evening!
Good evening.
Here you are, my man.
Hmm.
There's a special guest onboard, Mr Fred Astaire!
Captain, you're risking the forward generators
And the safety of the passengers!
And for what?
For the sake of a title? It's reckless
The 1st-class pool is above us
Clear it out, as a precaution.
If that'll make you feel better.
But I'm telling you
There's nothing we can throw at this ship that she cannot survive
Natural law might disagree.
Ow!
Call the doctor!
Emergency in the boiler room!
Fred, you did it again.
Kid, you were wonderful. Just wonderful!
I am sorry about before.
You got real talent.
I want to offer you a contract.
I guarantee it'll open every door in town
Or I'm not Viktor Kershner!
Now, if I could just speak to your parents
Straighten out that misunderstanding from before
You stay there. I'll go talk to them.
Thank you!
Kid, you earned it.
Just hold on a little longer.
Not my swally!
You'll be fine.
Oh! Excuse me!
Jackie?
David?
Is that you?
Oh, thank goodness.
Something is very wrong.
I went back and she wasn't there.
David, I, I didn't want to tell you
In case you accuse me of being overly dramatic
Because I know this sounds like it is
But last night I had a dream
There were police waiting for us at the port
And then a few moments ago downstairs I tried to give the Maitre D' a tip
But when I reached into my bag, I pulled out this!
Why do you have that? Hmm.
I
I'm going to go upstairs and try and find
Cassandra
Perhaps she's waiting in the playroom.
Stay.
Somebody oughta tell them to keep it down.
Can you please keep it down?
Or I'll call security.
2
David?
He's with the ship now.
What does that mean?
Show me my husband!
Firstly, put on the mask.
Now take the card.
Just tell me.
The answer is on the card.
Please.
Step in and take it.
What did you do to my husband?
Your husband, your husband?
Please.
Take it.
Just tell me.
My service to this ship has..come to an end
Thank your family for me, will you?
8 years without sport was
Tough
No, No, No, No, No!
Urgh!
Hello?
Hello? You alright in there?
We can't..die..here
So, find the exit.
Like I did.
Urgh!
In a few moments, the Ghost and Legends tour
Will disembark from the grand staircase on the promenade level
Join our resident guides as they lead you into the depths
Of the RMS Queen Mary in an effort to connect with spirits
Who still call the ship home.
Stops include the isolation ward Door number 13
The boiler room
And the infamous B-474 State room
That's Ghosts and Legends departing soon
Bittner. Yeah?
Will you turn it down?
It's Torres.
Yeah? You're closed for business?
Yeah.
Management is concerned.
Yeah, we're, er
We're renovating.
Must be a pretty big job?
Well, it's an emergency. It's just a couple of days.
We've creditors crawling up our ass threatening to call in loans.
I mean, do we look like Disney Land?
Look, I've been doing this a long time, Mr Torres
and I'm telling you, it's better to cut a problem off at the root
What problem?
Bittner, are you there?
Bittner!
One of our guests stole a vessel.
A lifeboat?
Er, no.
Oh?
A little girl, er, took one home.
I called the parents, requested they return it
But they fed me some bullshit.
Said she wasn't coming back
So I need time to find out what they know and fix it.
Soon as I'm done doors will open
Get rid of them.
I don't think you understand.
No, No. We agreed
You sell The Queen Mary experience tours, merchandise, churro and whatnot
And we ignore whatever goes on there.
But if you go and make an even bigger mess
That's a problem.
Call me tomorrow when doors are open.
And Bittner? Yeah?
You're a security guard Don't fucking..
Hey, Jesus!
I'll make you a Manhattan later if you want.
I think it was the girl's mother.
Ow! Yeah, I believe you.
That wasn't your son you left with
Our son.
I know you only stayed for Lukas, all these years.
I know that.
Wait, Wait, please
But, um
What happens if he is here?
Then I'll stay.
Okay.
It's just that I don't know where to find the pool.
I do.
I think we're done here.
Anne, Captain Bittner here
Oh, hello
I'm sorry, the power is down.
This whole place is a death trap when it rains.
Look, I called maintenance
But they said they won't be here until tomorrow
I mean, Tomorrow? I said
We've guests working on a special project
They apologised and all, but tomorrow's the best they can do.
We brought torches.
Yeah, if it was up to me,
I wouldn't care if you looked around
But it's an insurance risk, you know.
Those guys, they're a pain in the ass, you understand?
We'll be careful.
Yeah, no doubt. Still, we shouldn't take any risks.
Let's reschedule, I insist.
Pour yourself a drink, I'll come get you.
We'll walk to your cabin, collect your stuff.
And, er, I can tell you about the time Walt Disney and I smoked cigars
In the bar until the wee hours. Huh?
Okay, Captain.
We gotta go.
You know what?
Think I will have that drink.
Hell are you going?
Go! Clear!
My face! Move!
My face! Wait!
Make way for the Captain!
Give it here.
Not..my..swally!
Easy, Easy!
Go. Go!
Oh God, Oh God
Captain.
Gibson! Bloody hell.
Forward generator burned out. All the flood doors are closing.
Shall we contact New York?
The navy? I mean, maybe they have a craft in the area.
No, no. Just, Just
Just tell them it's part of tonight's entertainment.
Sir?
Why aren't you upstairs? Well, I was.
But an incident occurred with one of the passengers.
Well, take care of it. There's been a murder.
David Ratch.
Travelling 3rd class with his family
Appears Mr Ratch lost his senses some time after dinner
Found him covered in his wife's blood trying to launch a life vessel
Took 3 men to restrain him
He's in the infirmary now
Bloody hell, how did they get down here?
Captain! Why's she so slow this evening, huh?
Party's upstairs, gentlemen.
Are we sinking? Alright, Alright. That'll do
The fastest ship, my arse.
Where is Mrs Ratch?
Cabin B-474
Apparently, he did it with an axe. Made a frightful mess.
They have a young daughter. Our people are trying to locate her.
She was last seen leaving the grand salon by herself
Approximately 8.30
How dare you make a joke about my wife!
I wasn't
Sir, respectfully why are we here
And not at the scene or on the bridge?
I needed to see for myself.
Clock stopped at 7
Same time you reported the accident downstairs.
The prisoner say anything?
Well, like what?
Other than the obvious crazy?
Was there anything that stood out?
Well apparently, his friends call him Clarky.
Thought it was a bit odd for someone with the surname Ratch.
He then used some rather choice words to indicate how the officer could
Use a so-and-so and insert it
A cigarette? No.
Have you a cigarette, Gibson? Oh.
It must be time to send an SOS
Have you witnessed a ship go down?
No.
I have.
My father did everything he could.
Gave the order within plenty of time.
People get scared.
They panic and fight like rats.
I won't let that happen on this ship.
Not while we can still save her.
Well, shall I report to the bridge and
Co-ordinate our resources from there?
You don't understand.
Our only concern now
Is Mr Ratch
Frightfully sorry to bother you.
But I'm supposed to meet my husband in New York
And the Captain said I can't disembark
If you see my husband, can you send him a message?
I need
Oh!
To leave
This
Ship
I need to leave this ship I need to leave this ship!
I need to leave this ship!
I need to leave this!
The pool. It's below M deck.
Bittner, you sneaky little prick.
Shit.
It's all wet. Even the scanner.
This'll need time to dry.
Friend of Bittner's, you think?
You know, I thought if we did this project together
You and Lukas would come home and we'd be
A..A kind of family again.
But honestly, the last thing I expected
was to get your answer before we even started.
So, I, I guess
how come I wasn't enough?
Oh no
No, No, that's not what it is.
I just don't believe in marriage.
I failed once.
I still want to escape.
It's just that the urge to be with Lukas is stronger.
You know, if you stay here
You'll get trapped like that shrieking woman.
You'll end up as a footnote in one of Bittner's haunted tours.
A historical curiosity nothing more
Patrick.
Yeah?
I can't leave my son alone here.
Fine.
We can be the dead family still walking the deck.
Ugh, that smell.
Motherfuckers!
Look.
He's still here, Patrick.
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Oh, Christ.
Send the distress code.
It won't make a difference, don't you see?
The man roaming freely is why the ship is faltering.
Hello?
Miss Calder?
Are you alright in there?
Oh, fuck!
Wow, he used the whole roll.
Be careful.
I need to know what Bittner's hiding.
Is that it?
Damn.
I've never seen a doorway to...
Fuck knows
Anything?
Is that a..child?
No.
No, judging by the size, I'd say an adult.
And it's in the structure,
So probably from the time the ship was built.
Also, there's no way they could put the metal poles in there
After pouring the concrete Which
Which tells me the workers knew about it.
Or they did it.
After Wall Street tumbled in '29 Clydebank shipyard closed its doors
While this vessel was just bare bones.
The ship spent three long years overlooking that town.
Like a coffin.
As if they needed reminding
What would happen if her future couldn't be secured.
Then with the nation's pride at stake
The British Government stepped in with a financial commitment
To guarantee completion.
With Clydebank's future at stake
The workers stepped in
To guarantee her success
And that of future generations
Crime locks many doors
But for one prisoner
It required
Sacrifice
Foundation sacrifice, to be exact.
According to an old engineering tradition
To guarantee structural integrity
One ought to bury a human inside of the walls.
And the more pain he suffers
The greater the bind
Between his spirit
And the ship.
Until both are inseparable.
The workers selected their victim, Edward Clark.
Or Clarky as he was known to them.
A riveter and former inmate rumoured to have murdered
They inflicted on him the most miserable of ends.
His sacrifice protected them.
Gave them the success and peace of mind
they so badly craved.
That's a real thing?
What, foundation sacrifice?
Yeah.
Well, it's not exactly on the curriculum at University
But yeah, sure
From time-to-time cases have occurred.
I mean, it's an open secret.
Even kids' rhymes are about it.
London Bridge keeps falling down until
Until they lock a man inside.
Yeah. Folklore based on a grain of truth.
My God, that is barbaric.
And you actually believe we're unsinkable?!
Might explain how the ship survived a World War
A dozen botched face lifts,
A rogue wave.
RTO reinstate the ship's power we must reinstate Mr Clark
And kill whatever flesh he is in.
Should we fail...
Your question as to whether this ship is unsinkable
will most certainly be answered.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my fucking God.
Shit!
Lukas?!
Patrick!
I see him.
Baby, come back! Wait!
Anne!
Anne? Are you there?
Patrick, come in! Patrick.
Yeah, I'm here.
I followed Lukas to an elevator, but he's gone.
Where are you?
I don't know, er, cabin numbers are E-100s.
Okay, stay where you are...
Clear the way, coming through!
Keep moving, upstairs.
And follow the safety orders.
Where is it?
Come on!
Keep moving!
Out of the way! Coming through!
You're not from here, are you?
I'm sorry, excuse my impertinence.
Mum? Stay with us, please.
Lukas?
If you wish to stay,
Y..Y..You could take my place!
I really don't mind!
It's wonderful, wonderful fun!
And I could leave...
just for a little while.
You don't understand!
I've been here for so long!
I promise, I'll come back.
None of this is real.
Need your body!
But I need you more!
Why should you go and not me?!
Fuck me. People are waiting for me!
Please! I'm begging you!
Lukas!
Where are you?!
Give me your body!
I must get off of this boat!
Stop!
Where are you?
I thought you'd gone home.
Er...
yeah, we got lost on the way out.
Have you seen Anne anywhere?
No.
Who's that?
That's nobody.
You sure?
Yeah.
So, so that...
that's not her on the trolley?
Oh, him?
No, it's just, er...
just some vagrant I caught, er, sneaking around.
Okay.
Er, we, we found the swimming pool, by the way.
You're right, she's, she's a, she's a pearl.
And the, er, little brat who absconded in your son's place?
She told us everything.
Now, I was hoping you'd, er, return with her,
so I could give you back your son.
We left instructions.
If we don't walk out of here tomorrow, call the cops.
Tell them everything. Okay?
So even if that was true, who'd believe her stories?
Well, actually, a lot of people would.
Whatever secrets you've kept hidden down here,
Lukas saw.
Okay, he saw them.
Give that to me.
No. No, no, no.
Not until we're safely off the ship.
Move, move, move! Where's that boy?
Clarky!
As we approach the next stop of our tour,
we are reminded in these hallowed halls
of how insignificant we really are.
When even a ship as hardy as the Queen Mary
could be brought to her knees.
The year 1942 she was en route to Scotland
With 10,398 soldiers
And 950 crew on board
Duly recorded on the ship's log is the date and time
The course, the destination weather conditions
Temperature
longitude and latitude.
But what is never recorded is the fear that washes over a deck
Like fog and ocean spray
As a 90 foot rogue wave appears
Yes, the RMS Queen Mary is a frightened ship
And she carries with her a premonition..of death
Lukas. Oh, Lukas, baby.
Is that you?
What happened to Jackie, Mommy?
Where are you?
Anne, please come in.
Fuck.
Oh.
Lukas?
Where are you?
Keep moving and stay calm.
It's all part of the show!
Move!
Move, move, move!
Don't let him off the ship!
Reverse the winch.
No, lower it! Lower it!
Mom, why can't I move on?
Oh, Lukas baby.
Jackie told me what happened.
We left him in the pool.
To rot with the others.
Dad used to say
Opportunity is slippery
Like
Like trying to catch a fish
With your bare hands.
No matter how much it begs
Tries to slip away
Hold on tight.
And don't be afraid
To get your hands dirty.
Where..is..she?
She's waiting for her mom.
Stay with me..forever
We'll be a family again.
Yes, I'll stay.
It's useless trying to leave, Clarky.
Even if I have to swim I'm getting off this ship
Outside, there are laws and obstacles to freedom.
Inside, there's only her.
I served my time.
I served my time!
You're the guardian, Clarky.
It's what they call 'a job for life'!
Gibson! Captain, the man is unarmed!
Let go, you fool.
Or he'll take us all to a watery grave.
Captain! Lower your rifle,
or I will have you forcibly removed and relieved of your duties.
If you are unwilling to perform your duty,
I won't hesitate.
Get back in your box!
Play something.
Something nice.
Oh, shit!
Oh, fuck!
Oh, Captain Bittner.
Perhaps you can tell us.
Yeah?
Your secret?
I'm afraid I, er, I don't know what
I, I don't know what you mean, I
As the ship's longest serving employee
How she survived for so long?
Well, er
Young lady, I can, er, I can recommend just the book.
Available from our gift shop!
Okay, who wants a picture? Come on, bring it in.
There you go.
This your first time with a Captain?
Ah.
Where is she?
She?
He. My son
We would like to speak with you about the statement
You provided detectives 3 days ago
After Lukas climbed out his bedroom window
You said he accidentally slipped
And fell
Well, a neighbour has come forward with an account
Which..contradicts yours
Help me! Please!
I'm sorry about your boy
I had to escape
No
No, No
No..er
We, er..we escaped
Miss Calder
Sir, we, we escaped
Miss Calder
You're being charged with 2nd degree murder
You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can
And will be used against you in a court of law
You have the right to an attorney
Hmm
Miss Calder?
Captain Bittner for Torres
Please hold
Mr Torres on line 2
Bittner? You there?
In the flesh
They lived their hopes and dreams
Buried in her lavish woods and polished decks
Now, resting and all but forgotten, they wait to return to life
In a few moments, the new Ghosts and Legends tour
No Escape
Will disembark from the grand staircase on the promenade level
Join our resident guides
As they lead you into the depths of the RMS Queen Mary
In an effort to connect with spirits who still call this ship home
That's Ghosts and Legends No Escape, departing soon
