00:01:11Madagascar.
00:01:13For centuries, the bloodiest cockpit of all the seas,
00:01:17where the infamous Brotherhood of the Damned
00:01:19waited to plunder the treasure-laden galleons
00:01:21from India and Cathay,
00:01:23then returned, drunk with slaughter,
00:01:25to their pirate stronghold of last hope.
00:01:28Most ruthless of all was Captain William Kidd.
00:01:32He encountered the great London galleon, the Twelve Apostles,
00:01:35commanded by Admiral Lord Blaine,
00:01:37and, approaching unsuspected in the guise of a peaceful merchantman,
00:01:41by a sudden treacherous salvo, he reduced her to a burning hulk.
00:01:46When night fell, the Twelve Apostles was only a blazing funeral pyre
00:01:51on the faceted surface of a Madagascar lagoon.
00:01:55Stab me. There's a pretty sight.
00:01:59It'll be prettier still when the fire reaches the magazine, Captain.
00:02:02Pretty, though. Lots of stout seamen among them.
00:02:05They've been with us a long time.
00:02:07Weak and none of us live forever, Mr. Boyle.
00:02:10Dead men don't talk.
00:02:12Man your oars. We've got this job to do before high tide.
00:02:35There.
00:02:36And dig it up.
00:03:05Dig fast. If the tide catches us here, it'll save the King's hangman some rope.
00:03:19There you are. Deep enough to bury a man in.
00:03:22Give us a hand, men.
00:03:24Already, Captain.
00:03:26Down she goes.
00:03:35What are you waiting for?
00:03:37Well, Captain, that chest's been in the cabin a longish time.
00:03:40And we all thought as though it wouldn't do no harm to open up that chest
00:03:43and make sure that what was in it then is in it now.
00:03:46I suppose you remember what was in it?
00:03:49Aye. I remember an emerald necklace that came off that Portuguese ship, El Vengar.
00:03:53And all those pearls that we took from the big ship, the Virgin Queen.
00:03:58I remember a diamond medallion we got from that Moorish galleon off Madagascar.
00:04:03Did you ever forget that silver casket with the arms of Lord Blaine
00:04:06that you claimed for yourself after the taking of the Twelve Apostles, sir?
00:04:10Your neck will be stretched as long as your memory one of these days.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:30Satisfied, gallows, meat?
00:04:33Put them back.
00:04:45Lower away.
00:05:06What's the matter?
00:05:08Wait a minute, Captain. There's something else you forgot.
00:05:10What do you want now?
00:05:12We've got but half an hour before the tide traps us.
00:05:14That's as may be, sir. We're all equal in this, I take it.
00:05:17Equal shares, yes.
00:05:19Well, that key then, which you put back in your belt, that goes down with the chest.
00:05:23Thus we start so all clear and no favours.
00:05:26And if some of us don't get back, it'll be that much easier open for them as does.
00:05:30Question me honour again, would you? I'll rip you from belly to chime.
00:05:43Are we such calloused rascals that we'd leave a dead comrade
00:05:48without commending his soul to his new master?
00:05:56Here lieth one who through treachery and treachery
00:06:01hath made his way into the land of the dead.
00:06:07Here lieth one who through treachery and avarice
00:06:13would have placed in jeopardy the lives of honest men.
00:06:17And here may he lie forever in the sands of Madagascar.
00:06:23Rest in peace.
00:06:27It's time to be out, lads. Time to be away.
00:06:37If a gentleman's a gentleman, he's a gentleman. That's all there is to it, sir.
00:06:41I'm one of nature's gentlemen, but I need polish, my good man.
00:06:45If I'm to improve myself...
00:06:47A gentleman employs the terminology, my good man,
00:06:50only when addressing little men.
00:06:52I'm a gentleman.
00:06:54I'm a gentleman.
00:06:56I'm a gentleman.
00:06:58I'm a gentleman.
00:07:00I'm a gentleman.
00:07:02I'm a gentleman.
00:07:04A gentleman is, my good man,
00:07:07only when addressing lower servants or his inferior, sir.
00:07:10You see, that's why I need you for my upbringing.
00:07:14The gentleman never sucks his teeth, sir.
00:07:16Many a man's social career has been ruined by less, sir.
00:07:20You seem to know your business.
00:07:22I want the best mine, and I can pay for it.
00:07:24Hundred quid a year.
00:07:26An infallible mark of the person of quality
00:07:29is his reluctance to pay his domestics high wages.
00:07:32so? Merely an idiosyncrasy of good breeding, sir. Sixty quid a year then? You
00:07:40realize I've never been on board a ship before, sir. Oh, don't let that frighten
00:07:44you. To the contrary. In fact, since I was a nipper, I've had rather an adventurous
00:07:49inclination toward life on the bound in mind. It should be quite educational, sir.
00:07:54You'll learn a lot, no doubt. Is it a bargain, then? Very well, sir. My hand on it?
00:08:54Then, it is your proposal, my Lord Bellarmine, that Captain Kidd sail to meet our
00:09:02ambassador Lord Fallsworth and give him safe convoy through the pirate waters of
00:09:06Madagascar. May it please your majesty, yes. That needs a bold and adventurous man.
00:09:13Bring in this Captain Kidd while we take the measure of him.
00:09:19Captain William Kidd.
00:09:32Your Royal Majesty, my noble Lord.
00:09:39Bellarmine, is this your roaring killer of Spanish buccaneers? Me, me lad. I am only a
00:09:47peaceful shipmaster who must do trade with other ships without inquiring too
00:09:51closely about their business, and it was so I fell into the hands of the Twelve
00:09:55Apostles, a kingship turned pirate. In Madagascar waters? I have never been in
00:10:01Madagascar waters, your grace. It was off the southern tip of Africa where I had
00:10:05gone to trade in elephant's teeth. Who commanded her? One of your admirals, your
00:10:12majesty. Name of Lord Blayne. He did turn pirate then? Sufficiently, me lad, to put
00:10:20fear in honest traders like meself. And if you are successful in this voyage,
00:10:26captain, what reward do you expect? May it please your majesty, having forfeited me
00:10:31honor in that I was forced to strike my colors to a pirate, I want no reward but
00:10:35to regain it in the service of your majesty. And lest it be, or is it true,
00:10:42that Lord Blayne's lands are restricted in his title forfeit? Yes. All I ask is
00:10:50that if I lay this renegade nobleman by the heels, is that you honor the humble
00:10:57self with his castle and his lands? Is that all you want, captain Kidd? Not a
00:11:07fardon more, your majesty. The fellow treats of a title so lightly he must be
00:11:13bursting with noble blood. Though I confess he keeps it well hid. Aye sir, you
00:11:19can no more judge of a man by his appearance than you can judge the extent
00:11:22of a nobleman's brains by the expensiveness of his wit. Might I suppose
00:11:28that the captain of the Kingsguard would deign to fence with me? Come captain, is
00:11:40your courage less than your wit? Nay sir, I know nothing of fence. You must come at
00:11:49me quickly as though you'd kill me. Very well then. I ask pardon sir, I've a hot
00:11:59head when roused, I only meant to demonstrate. And to good purpose captain.
00:12:08Your majesty is satisfied with the captain of our choosing? I can think of
00:12:13none better. Aye, thank you sir. And now captain, the main mission of your cruise
00:12:23will be to meet a great ship, the Cuida merchant, which is sailing from India
00:12:27with vast treasures, and to give her safe conduct, in my name, past the pirate
00:12:32waters of Madagascar. But your majesty, will her commander accept my letter of
00:12:37mark as sufficient authority to... You shall have a letter to our ambassador
00:12:40Lord Fallsworth, who is returning in her, that he is to accept your protection. And to
00:12:46submit to all matters pertaining to the safety of the ship, and her treasure, sir.
00:12:52Oh yes. And now sire, me crew. Your crew? Captain Kidd wishes to recruit a crew
00:13:02from the pirates, and now under capital sentence in Newgate and the Marshall Sea.
00:13:07A crew of condemned pirates? Aye sir, that none would be so loyal, nor fight so
00:13:15desperate, as cutthroats under sentence of death, if they knew that at the end of
00:13:20the voyage, a royal pardon would be in their pockets. But I shall hold you
00:13:27accountable for their good conduct. Between their conduct and mine your
00:13:31majesty, there will be little to choose. And now goodbye, and Godspeed you. I am
00:13:40but his unworthy sparrow.
00:14:01I'd rather eat the bill's scum from an African slaver. Adam, don't let that temper get you the
00:14:22lash again. If I must hang, I'll hang. But I'll go to the gallows with clean guts at
00:14:26least. Hey you, what kind of stinking maggots meat is this? Wardens, wardens, there's
00:14:31that dainty crumb Mercy complaining about the taste of the King's bounty again.
00:14:35Watch it. Bounty? Bounty me I. The King's allowance is trumpets a day for food, not
00:14:40muck from the sewers of Whitechapel. Making trouble again, eh Mercy? I'm asking
00:14:44only what the man's legally entitled to. Here, smell this.
00:14:50Delicious.
00:15:05Hear you, Governor. What sort of a kingdom is this, where a man's condemned before
00:15:11he's heard and starved before they hang him? Who's that quarrelsome fellow? Adam
00:15:16Mercy. He was taken in a pirate ship by His Majesty's Frigate Wasp. He's always
00:15:20escaping, so that's why we keep him in chains. He's got a lacing of tiger's
00:15:24blood in him. Poof. This ain't exactly a flower garden, is it? Oh, forgive me, Governor.
00:15:33These are two of me officers. Mr. Boyle, Governor Landers. Mr. Lorenzo, Governor
00:15:38Landers. Spanish blood. A pretty lot of sinners. Capitán, do you think there is
00:15:46anyone down there knows us? I hope not. Governor, would you be good enough to
00:15:51tell them what we're here for? Give heed, you, you vermin. Here's news to your
00:15:58advantage. Is the hangman dead, then? Out with it, then, shot nasty face. Is it that your
00:16:03mother's turned into an honest woman? Silence, you mutinous dogs. If another
00:16:07man speaks, I'll trice him up by the thumbs and flay him raw. Governor, is that
00:16:14the way to win the love of these unfortunate gentlemen? Now then, me
00:16:19bullies, would you rather do the gallows dance and hang in chains till the crows
00:16:25pick your eyes from your rotting skulls, or would you feel the roll of a stout
00:16:32ship beneath your feet again? I have a vessel, the adventure galley, and the
00:16:38King's commissioned a sailor. And for those who show a loyal and a stout heart,
00:16:43there's a royal pardon in the offing. Which of you knows the waters of
00:16:51Madagascar? I do. Would you have him unlocked, Governor? Order, unlock him.
00:17:02Look you, then. I want men with iron in their blood and steel in their sinews.
00:17:08And the first up here is the first enlisted. Governor, if your waters are
00:17:13ready, would you be good enough to have them lower the ropes? Lower away.
00:17:22Here they come. Make ready, lads.
00:17:32Lay your hands on that, I'll make you free men.
00:17:51The other one now.
00:17:56Next.
00:18:09Next one, come on.
00:18:12Name? Edith Shafto. Edith Shafto. Regardless of the fact that I'm your captain, you will
00:18:22always address a gentleman as sir, scum. Aye, sir. Make your mark.
00:18:30On board. Name? Adam Weissler, sir. Oh, so it's you.
00:18:39Mercy, that's a comical handle for a blade of fortune. Mercy. It's also
00:18:47something the world needs more of. Fire and death a philosopher, you speak culture.
00:18:51Were you by any chance stable boy to a noble house? Perhaps. I was also master
00:18:58gunner to a buccaneer you may have heard of, Captain Avery. Avery's master gunner.
00:19:06In need of a master gunner, Mr. Boyle, and from what I've heard, Avery was a shrewd hand
00:19:11at picking them. The berth's yours for as long as you can handle it. I can handle it.
00:19:18Swivel gun a long time, I'll forfeit a guinea for every miss. You'll forfeit your neck if you miss
00:19:23while you're on my ship. Make your mark.
00:19:29And you can write. We'll give you a nice bath. You'll draw a uniform befitting a master gunner.
00:19:38On board. Next man. Name? Bartholomew Blevins, sir. Bartholomew Blevins.
00:19:46Make your mark.
00:19:48Down below.
00:19:57Captain aboard. He's over there, sir.
00:20:17Next man. That's all, sir. Our compliment's full.
00:20:27Palfrey, I thought you... Yes, you thought I was dead.
00:20:36I can hardly believe my eyes. You mean you don't want to believe them.
00:20:40Now, come, come, Mr. Povey. Is that kind or is that fair?
00:20:43As fair as what you did that day you abandoned me on a behemoth reef.
00:20:46If you please, Mr. Povey, this is not the time to talk about that.
00:20:49Oh, it's the time, all right. Unless you want me to know.
00:20:53In which case, your present boy deserves to know.
00:20:57Now, now, now, now, Povey. Mr. Boyle, would you take over, please?
00:21:00Mr. Lorenzo, take the deck watch. Come to my cabin.
00:21:27My heart bleeds when I think of one of your delicate constitution having to fend for yourself on a coral reef, Mr. Povey.
00:21:50Come off it, Captain.
00:21:55I know why you marooned me. For so there'd be only three of you to share instead of four.
00:22:00It's true. A hostile wind did blow us away from your reef.
00:22:05Between friends, we might have sailed back at exactly what you would have done, Mr. Povey.
00:22:10So no more of your sentimental nonsense, please.
00:22:16Now that we are four again, what then?
00:22:19We're not four. We're two. Boyle and Lorenzo, dull clods.
00:22:29Twenty thousand pounds apiece in their hands would only be spent in sinful ways.
00:22:34And you propose to remove them from the path of temptation.
00:22:39How? A knife in the dark?
00:22:42I'm not a violent man, Mr. Povey. I detest violence. People have such an awkward habit of getting in my way.
00:22:51I am an ambitious man, Mr. Povey.
00:22:55And an ambitious man, if he be bold enough, can carve himself a kingdom.
00:23:01I'm going to be a lord, my friend.
00:23:04And that, for a commoner like myself, takes a deal of money.
00:23:09And that's why there could be two less to share before we raise old England again.
00:23:16You cold-gutted shark.
00:23:19Oh, a flatterer.
00:23:25I'm glad you're back again, Mr. Povey.
00:23:28You have no idea how gratifying it is to have a congenial soul to confide in.
00:23:38Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.
00:23:41I have left with a tremendous sealed letter containing an exact and complete account of certain previous happenings.
00:23:47Only to be opened in case, just in case, of course, you should happen to return to England without me.
00:23:54Of course, my dear fellow. Very sensible of you.
00:24:00Now I know you'll have a happy voyage.
00:24:04I shall, too.
00:24:18I'll look up me quarters.
00:24:34I'll look up me quarters.
00:25:04I'll look up me quarters.
00:25:34We are two of the luckiest men alive.
00:25:37Just think, we're sailing from Madagascar waters.
00:25:41We'll pick up the search where we left off.
00:25:45Every officer on board has a servant.
00:25:47I'll request the captain to assign you to me, then we can be together.
00:25:55Yes, I've spent a good many years of my life on the coast of Madagascar.
00:26:01Yes, I've spent a good many years of my life at sea, milady.
00:26:05But I doubt if any woman minds a dash of salt.
00:26:09Even in a peer of the realm, like myself.
00:26:13Now, if milady will join me in a minuet.
00:26:17My lady, sir, not milady.
00:26:19Blast me, Shadwell.
00:26:21Does one gentleman creep up on another without a cough or a spit or something to warn him?
00:26:27I'm not a gentleman, sir. I'm a gentleman's gentleman.
00:26:34Giddy about the hair.
00:26:41I suppose you've tried everything.
00:26:43There's grease.
00:26:46Prenatal influence, perhaps.
00:26:53Dinner is served, sir.
00:26:55Thank you, Shadwell.
00:26:57Pardon, sir. I'll show you to your place.
00:27:08Captain, what's all this murmurry?
00:27:10You can forget your bilge water manners for the time, Mr. Boyle.
00:27:13You are now officers on a king's ship.
00:27:16So a man must starve while his manners fatten.
00:27:20I know, I know.
00:27:23And in a king's ship, it is customary for the officers to rise when the captain enters.
00:27:40That's better.
00:27:42Gentlemen, be seated.
00:27:51Ah!
00:27:54Well, well, well, what have we here?
00:28:04Gentlemen, pardon me.
00:28:06Of course, but don't press me.
00:28:43Come, Mr. Mercy.
00:28:45Tell us something about yourself.
00:28:48You already know what I was of consequence, sir.
00:28:51While under Avery, I was taken by a king's ship and brought to London.
00:28:54There, I was tried for a pirate and condemned.
00:28:57You were innocent, of course.
00:29:00No, sir, I was guilty.
00:29:02You speak above your station.
00:29:04How came you to go on the account?
00:29:07Call it love of adventure, trust in love, a scandal, perhaps a mixing of all three.
00:29:13And you've seen something of the world?
00:29:16Enough, sir, to dislike what I've seen and to know there's small hope for a better.
00:29:20Perhaps you prefer the next world, Mr. Mercy.
00:29:24You were close enough to it when you were in the condemned hold of Newgate.
00:29:30But I'm keeping you from your dinner.
00:29:47And now, gentlemen, a toast to the king.
00:29:51And since proposing it is the privilege of the youngest present, the honor falls to Mr. Mercy.
00:30:01Mr. Mercy, we're waiting.
00:30:03No, sir, since I have little love for the king, I'll neither propose his health nor drink it.
00:30:08Nevertheless, you are on a king's ship.
00:30:11King's ship of the devils, it's all the same to me, sir.
00:30:14I owe him nothing.
00:30:16You owe him your neck, Mr. Mercy.
00:30:18If it were not for his bounty, you'd be dancing daintily on air at whopping.
00:30:23I owe my reprieve to you, captain.
00:30:25So to you, I'll drink him gladly, but not to William.
00:30:28You stand up and drink to his majesty's health as a king's officer should.
00:30:33Or by fire and flame, I'll have you shipped back to Newgate on the first vessel we speak.
00:30:39Gentlemen, the king.
00:30:41The king. God bless you.
00:31:09That's curious.
00:31:12Do you suppose his majesty put him on board to spy us out?
00:31:16We found him chained to a pillar at Newgate.
00:31:19It wouldn't be too hard for the king to plant him there.
00:31:22Yes, but why would he speak so openly against the king?
00:31:26Your wits are even duller than usual, Mr. Lorenzo.
00:31:30Have you never heard of the serpent that takes the color of its back?
00:31:35Have you never heard of the serpent that takes the color of its background, the better to strike?
00:31:41Shadwell.
00:31:44Yes, sir?
00:31:47You have a knowledge of high-born people and those of the court, Shadwell.
00:31:51Have you ever seen Mr. Mercy before?
00:31:54Not before this voyage, sir.
00:31:56He's as high of spirit as a gentleman of quality.
00:31:59I like him.
00:32:00Would you find out who he is and where he comes from?
00:32:04As you wish, sir.
00:32:05Thank you, Shadwell.
00:32:28Foggy night.
00:32:30Good evening, Shadwell.
00:32:32Excuse me, sir, but you seafaring men always seem to be looking at something that I never can see.
00:32:37We are looking for something just over the horizon.
00:32:40You know, sir, I recognized you for a gentleman the moment I saw you, sir.
00:32:44What are you, a valet, doing at sea?
00:32:47The captain employed me to make him socially acceptable, sir.
00:32:53I'm afraid we're too far out for me to swim back.
00:32:57But if I can be of service to you, sir...
00:32:59Did the captain send you here?
00:33:01Yes, sir.
00:33:02Why?
00:33:03He wants to know who or what you are, sir.
00:33:07Who do they think I am?
00:33:10Possibly a spy placed on board by His Majesty.
00:33:14They seemed uneasy, sir.
00:33:16Hmm.
00:33:17This, uh...
00:33:19This Captain Kidd, how long have you known him? Have you sailed with him before?
00:33:23Oh, no, sir.
00:33:25All I know is he's, uh...
00:33:28Well, among other things, a merchant captain.
00:33:34A spy? That's strange. Why should they be afraid to be spied on?
00:33:40Good night, Chuck.
00:33:41Good night, sir.
00:33:52Who is he? Where's he from?
00:33:54He's a nobody, sir.
00:33:56He was employed by persons of quality where he learned his speech and his manners.
00:34:00Oh.
00:34:27It's a matter of judgment.
00:34:29If you fire on the up-roll, the shot will go over his yawns.
00:34:33But if you wait for the down-roll and the enemy's coming up...
00:34:35Now, watch.
00:34:45Get ready.
00:34:47Fire!
00:34:51Hooray!
00:34:53Hooray!
00:34:55Pretty shot, Mr. Mercy.
00:34:57Can you do as well with a .74-throwing grape and canister at you?
00:35:02I've done it, sir.
00:35:04Reload and secure. And pick up your weapons.
00:35:06Yes, sir.
00:35:08Now, sir.
00:35:10What's the matter?
00:35:12Can you do as well with a .74-throwing grape and canister at you?
00:35:15I've done it, sir.
00:35:17Reload and secure. And pick up your practice on the larven quarter swivel gun.
00:35:21Mr. Mercy.
00:35:23You've sailed with Avery. You must know these waters.
00:35:26Fairly so.
00:35:27If we needed to careen and take on stores, where would you recommend?
00:35:31Poverty Bay, sir. It lies just...
00:35:32We draw too much water. You remember, Captain.
00:35:34Remember?
00:35:36Remember what?
00:35:38I only know the Spanish main. These are Madagascar waters.
00:35:41Aye, sir. Thank you, Mr. Mercy. Come along, Mr. Boyle.
00:35:52You blundering ass.
00:35:55Your presence is becoming increasingly irksome to me.
00:36:00Get you below.
00:36:12Come on.
00:36:33Now, let's get down to the business of this voyage.
00:36:37Hand me that chart, Mr. Boyle.
00:36:41Capitán, I have been thinking every day and every night.
00:36:46What about that dinero that we buried in the cave?
00:36:49What good is it there? Let's get it and get it back where we can spend it.
00:36:52That stays where it is for a while.
00:36:54Why?
00:36:55We've got a fatter prize sailing right into our pockets.
00:37:00Now, here's our present position.
00:37:04Here's Madagascar.
00:37:06Here's Calicut.
00:37:08In June, the great galleon, the Cuida Merchant,
00:37:12sails from Calicut to England.
00:37:15We should meet her about here.
00:37:19She's stuffed from keel to gunnels
00:37:21with treasure to the value of half a million pounds.
00:37:24Half a million pounds?
00:37:25And we are to give her safe passage through the Pirate Seas.
00:37:31By safe passage, you mean where to take her, Captain?
00:37:34Now, now, now, don't be greedy, Mr. Povey.
00:37:36I grant that most of what's in her may find its way into our pockets,
00:37:39but let's be fair.
00:37:40The king, poor gentleman, will expect something.
00:37:43But however we do it,
00:37:45it must be done legal-like and honestly.
00:37:50Stick to ways you're familiar with.
00:37:52Why, you pox-rattled villain,
00:37:54I can be as honest as any man if I have the incentive.
00:37:56Who?
00:37:57Yes, my Lord Blaine.
00:38:01Lord Blaine's name is not to be mentioned among us, Mr. Povey.
00:38:04He's dead, so's his crew and so's ours,
00:38:07and there's none outside this cabin that knows what became of them.
00:38:11And if you all enjoy living, you will remember that.
00:38:17Well, here's to our meeting with the Cuida Merchant.
00:38:22Cuida Merchant.
00:38:23Cuida Merchant.
00:38:24God bless her.
00:38:25God bless her.
00:38:26Dios la bendiga.
00:38:34Dios la bendiga.
00:39:05Wind fresh from west-northwest, sir.
00:39:07Course north-east by east, night dark but clear.
00:39:10Very well, Mr. Mercy.
00:39:14Nor east by east.
00:39:15Nor east by east, sir.
00:39:20North-east by east.
00:39:31Lord, ship is fading.
00:39:34You sure Sir?
00:39:36You can't help it, sir.
00:39:38Now, east by east.
00:39:39Now, east by east, sir.
00:40:08Mr. Doyle!
00:40:09It's Mr. Doyle!
00:40:10Send the handmen!
00:40:11Hands down!
00:40:12He's dead.
00:40:13If I find the man that's responsible for this, I'll hang him.
00:40:37Search the yard and reset it.
00:40:44What do you suppose happened?
00:40:50Someone's been tampering with these lines.
00:41:04We are gathered together to bid farewell to a gallant seaman and a stout comrade.
00:41:22Here was a man, shipmates, whose heart the flinty mountains could not match, who always
00:41:30took better than he gave, whose benevolence was such, the orphan's might and the rich
00:41:36man's gold alike found refuge in his pocket.
00:41:40A jealous providence has removed him from us, and I esteem it a privilege to commit
00:41:47his body to the deep.
00:41:49We shall all mourn him.
00:41:52Ay, we shall mourn him, but take comfort, me friends.
00:41:57We shall never see his like again.
00:42:00Rest in peace.
00:42:03Pop him over.
00:42:04Pity, Mr. Mercy, a great pity, but the ship's work must go on.
00:42:11Move your gear into poor Mr. Boyle's cabin.
00:42:13You will take his place as master.
00:42:16As master!
00:42:17Aye, sir.
00:42:18Aye, sir.
00:42:48Why, Shadwell, don't tell me after all this time at sea you still...
00:42:59My inward revolt is not from the movement of the vessel, sir, it's occasioned by the
00:43:03company I endure.
00:43:04Their manners I say nothing of, sir, but I am a Dorsetshire man, and when I find a common
00:43:11shipmaster has the presumption to copy himself the coat of arms of one of our best Dorsetshire
00:43:16families, can you wonder if I'm physically upset?
00:43:20Whose crest was he copying?
00:43:22Credited or not, sir, the Blaine crest.
00:43:24Are you certain?
00:43:26Perfectly, sir.
00:43:27The crest is on a ring in his desk.
00:43:29Pardon me, sir, I must join the captain.
00:43:31He's inspecting the cast of pickled eels.
00:43:35With Mr. Lorenzo.
00:44:46Well, Mr. Mercy, do your new duties include robbing
00:45:16my desk?
00:45:17Shoot me, captain, and your head goes with it.
00:45:20I'm here by the king's orders.
00:45:23So he did plant you on board.
00:45:25Do you think he'd let a man sail with a crew and you get cutthroats and not keep tabs on
00:45:28him?
00:45:29And with good reason.
00:45:30If anything ever reeked of piracy, this does, and murder, captain.
00:45:34Boyle's death was no accident.
00:45:37By the way, what ship was sunk here, the Twelve Apostles?
00:45:43Why the Twelve Apostles, Mr. Mercy?
00:45:47There's Blaine's ring, his name's on it, and he commanded the Twelve Apostles.
00:45:51That'll make interesting telling in London when we get back, captain.
00:45:54If you get back.
00:45:56When I get back, for if I don't.
00:46:01On the other hand...
00:46:03On the other hand what?
00:46:05Since a man doesn't exactly grow rich in the king's pay...
00:46:08Oh, a crooked rogue.
00:46:12So you have your price.
00:46:15How much?
00:46:16An equal share in what's buried here.
00:46:17Share that with you, I'll be hanged if I do.
00:46:20You'll be hanged if you don't.
00:46:21Of all the slummocky blackguards.
00:46:29And if you do share Mr. King's informer, what guarantee is there that you won't still turn
00:46:34evidence for the crown?
00:46:37If I go in with you, I'm equally guilty.
00:46:39And if we're caught, we hang together.
00:46:41But I can keep you from being caught.
00:46:45What more could you ask?
00:46:49You know, Mr. Mercy, I've wondered sometimes if ever I'd meet a more unscrupulous blackguard
00:46:55than myself.
00:46:57And I have.
00:46:58Well, let's be sensible about this.
00:47:02Who knows?
00:47:03We might be useful to each other one day.
00:47:06In one way or another.
00:47:10But you've forgotten something.
00:47:12If I ring, so I have.
00:47:29Listen then carefully, because I want you to tell it in London if anything happens to
00:47:32me.
00:47:33A kid caught me in his cabin robbing his desk.
00:47:35I lied to him, told him I was a King's informer.
00:47:37Good.
00:47:39He just didn't believe me.
00:47:40Not one word.
00:47:41He just pretended to.
00:47:42Oh, why didn't you shoot him?
00:47:43Then he will give us no more trouble.
00:47:45That's a pleasure I'm reserving for later.
00:47:49He proves the liar I think him.
00:47:51King's man or no, he betrayed an uncommon interest in the Twelve Apostles.
00:47:55I didn't like him, Mr. Lorenzo, and I'm mean to find out why.
00:47:59Why, you could have charged him with robbery and turned him off at a yard arm, all legal
00:48:02and ship-shaped.
00:48:03We would have been rid of him once and for all.
00:48:05Let's not be impetuous, Mr. Povey.
00:48:07He can't leave us unless he swims.
00:48:09It'll be rather amusing to find out what he does.
00:48:14You rest easy.
00:48:15Leave Mr. Mercy to me.
00:48:38Stay home!
00:48:39Stay home!
00:48:40Stay home!
00:48:41Stay home!
00:48:42Stay home!
00:48:43Stay home!
00:48:44Stay home!
00:48:45Stay home!
00:48:46Stay home!
00:48:47Stay home!
00:48:48Stay home!
00:48:49Stay home!
00:48:50Stay home!
00:48:51Stay home!
00:48:52Stay home!
00:48:53Stay home!
00:48:54Stay home!
00:48:55Stay home!
00:48:56Stay home!
00:48:57Stay home!
00:48:58Stay home!
00:48:59Stay home!
00:49:00Stay home!
00:49:01Stay home!
00:49:02Stay home!
00:49:03Stay home!
00:49:04Stay home!
00:49:05Stay home!
00:49:06Stay home!
00:49:07Have the boats and pipe the quarters.
00:49:11Pipe the quarters!
00:49:19It's the Cuido merchant, sure enough.
00:49:27Can you make her out, Captain Rawson?
00:49:34She hasn't the cut of a buccaneer, Your Excellency.
00:49:38Much too tidy for that, more like a king's ship.
00:49:41Yet she has the lines of a merchantman.
00:49:46Have the longboat ready and manned.
00:49:48Longboat, stand by!
00:49:55Stand by to put a shot across her bows, Mr. Mercy.
00:49:58Aye, sir.
00:49:59Number four, gun crew, stand by for action!
00:50:05She's flying the English colors.
00:50:08Perhaps she's our escort ship.
00:50:10It was about here we were to meet, wasn't it?
00:50:13Well, we'll make dead certain just the same.
00:50:16Mr. Hilliard, see that all hands are at the station.
00:50:19Very good, sir.
00:50:25Ready? Fire!
00:50:28Ready? Fire!
00:50:33Well placed, Mr. Mercy.
00:50:35Heart of starboard.
00:50:37Heart of starboard.
00:50:38Starboard she is, sir.
00:50:50You will come across with us in the longboat, Mr. Mercy.
00:50:54Convey my compliments to all officers who will dress as befitting a king's ship.
00:50:58Aye, sir.
00:51:13Captain William Kidd of His Majesty's Privateer Adventure at your service, sir.
00:51:18Mr. Povey, me surgeon.
00:51:20Mr. Mercy, me master.
00:51:22Mr. Lorenzo, me navigator.
00:51:24Welcome aboard, gentlemen. I'm Captain Rosser.
00:51:27I'm Lord Fallsworth, His Majesty's ambassador to the court of the Grand Mogul.
00:51:32Your obedient servant, sir.
00:51:35I've been sent to give you convoy, and we'd better make haste with our business.
00:51:39These are unhealthy waters for ships to be hoved to, as I discovered a day or so ago.
00:51:44You mean you sighted some of the pirate brotherhood?
00:51:47More than that, sir. We beat off two of them.
00:51:51Avery and Culliford, out of last hope.
00:51:53Some 30 leagues south of here.
00:51:55Oh, stop me. I nearly forgot.
00:51:57Could you spare us some powder and ball we use more than we're safe during the action?
00:52:01Why, all that you need, sir, and welcome.
00:52:03Mr. Lorenzo here could attend to that, then?
00:52:05Mr. Hilliard, take Mr. Lorenzo below and see that he gets what he wants.
00:52:09Aye, aye, sir.
00:52:10Captain.
00:52:21I'll send for the master gunner. He'll take care of all your needs.
00:52:24Uh-huh.
00:52:51Mr. Lorenzo!
00:52:59Take this powder and put it in the longboat.
00:53:02Aye, aye, sir.
00:53:21Gentlemen, my daughter, the Lady Anne Dunstan.
00:53:25Captain Kidd, Mr. Povey, Mr. Mercy.
00:53:35Haven't we met before?
00:53:37I think not, my lady.
00:53:40You remind me of someone I've seen.
00:53:42I think it impossible that we could have ever met.
00:53:45Perhaps.
00:53:48How do we proceed now, Captain?
00:53:50Well, I'm instructed to give you protection past Madagascar.
00:53:53And you'll be safe as long as we sail in company.
00:53:57But Avery will be a wolf at your heels.
00:53:59And if we are separated in darkness or storm...
00:54:02Then, uh, what would you advise, then, sir?
00:54:05Well, I suppose we could take Lord Falsworth north.
00:54:12I suppose we could take Lord Falsworth and Lady Anne...
00:54:16...aboard the adventure to Madagascar's astern.
00:54:18And then if we are separated, then this vessel should be taken.
00:54:22What about the treasure on board?
00:54:25One silver chest alone.
00:54:27A present to His Majesty from the Grand Mogul.
00:54:30Contains precious gems valued at more than a million pounds.
00:54:34May I suggest, Your Excellency...
00:54:37Now, why not transfer the treasure chest...
00:54:40...with yourself and Lady Anne on board the adventure...
00:54:42...until we are out of danger?
00:54:45She's a kingship.
00:54:46That is a great responsibility.
00:54:49And although my instructions are that you are to trust me in all matters...
00:54:54...I don't know if I could go so far as to...
00:54:57What else can we do?
00:54:59Three of them against us, sir.
00:55:00Well, even two, sir.
00:55:02We'd be hopeless.
00:55:03It's the wisest course.
00:55:06I defer to Your Excellency.
00:55:09Now, could we inspect the chests?
00:55:11We could have them slung into our boats...
00:55:13...along with the gear of Lord Falsworth and Lady Anne.
00:55:15Why, certainly.
00:55:16This way, Captain.
00:55:17No trouble at all.
00:55:27Hoist away.
00:55:28Mr. Povey.
00:55:30I've sent for the manifest, Captain.
00:55:32You may check it against the contents of this chest...
00:55:34...and give me your receipt, if you will.
00:55:36Gladly, gladly.
00:55:38Oh, there you are, Mr. Lorenzo.
00:55:40Have you completed your business?
00:55:43Almost, sir.
00:55:45Your people have been most kind, Capitain Russell.
00:55:48There is only one detail left.
00:55:51It will be the treasure chest.
00:55:55There is only one detail left.
00:55:58It will not take a minute.
00:56:00Finished up, then.
00:56:01We must be gone within the hour.
00:56:03Yes, Captain.
00:56:05Oh, the manifest, sir.
00:56:07Would you attend to that, Mr. Povey?
00:56:09Thank you very much, Captain.
00:56:25The Manifest
00:56:48Come, Mr. Lorenzo.
00:56:50You've seen a lovely lady before this.
00:56:53A tribute to your beauty, ma'am.
00:56:56Did you finish your business below?
00:56:59Yes, Captain.
00:57:01Then we'd better be underway.
00:57:03Mr. Mercy, you will see Lord Pileswood and the Lady Anne into the boat.
00:57:07Yes, sir.
00:57:23Make way for the longboard.
00:57:54You will look after the loading, Mr. Lorenzo.
00:57:58I apologize, milady, for our poor accommodations,
00:58:01but me valet, Shadwell, will see that you're made comfortable.
00:58:04It's a pleasure to have your ladyship aboard.
00:58:06If you'll follow me, please.
00:58:24Why hasn't it happened?
00:58:37She's blown up.
00:58:39Someone must have touched off the magazine.
00:58:41Send out your boats at once, sir.
00:58:44You gonna ask me to risk men near that?
00:58:47I don't know myself.
00:58:50Let me guard her.
00:58:52Captain!
00:58:55Father!
00:59:19Excuse me, milady.
00:59:43Your father.
00:59:45May I say how sorry I am?
00:59:47The captain has requested that you take your meals in the main cabin.
00:59:51Oh, no, Shadwell. I can't bear to face those men.
00:59:54I can't.
00:59:55I quite understand, milady.
00:59:57But the captain's orders are orders.
01:00:00Shadwell, you must help me. There's no one else I can trust.
01:00:03But what can I do, milady?
01:00:05I'm only a servant.
01:00:06Where can I turn?
01:00:08I'm so confused and frightened.
01:00:12I keep thinking of my father and the others lost back there.
01:00:18And on this ship, wherever I go, those horrible staring men.
01:00:22That Lorenzo who was always standing behind me, beside me.
01:00:27Last night there was a tapping on the door.
01:00:29When I opened it, there he was.
01:00:31That evil smiling face of his.
01:00:34Well, he might better belong with those pirates you fought a few days ago.
01:00:39Pirates, milady?
01:00:42We fought no pirates.
01:00:45Why, my father said Captain Kidd told him.
01:00:53Shadwell, what manner of ship is this?
01:01:01My father was killed deliberately, I'm sure of it.
01:01:05That's why I can't bear to face you, Captain.
01:01:07I'd accuse him.
01:01:11There is a man on board, milady.
01:01:13A gentleman whom I know you can trust.
01:01:17Mr. Mercy?
01:01:18Yes, milady.
01:01:21Shadwell, I know I've met or seen him before, no matter how he denies it.
01:01:26His name isn't Mercy.
01:01:29But who is he?
01:01:30All I really know is, milady, he's no friend of the captain's.
01:01:34Perhaps if I ask him, he'll...
01:01:36Shall I?
01:01:37Oh, yes, will you please?
01:01:39Yes, milady.
01:01:52I am asking you again, very nice, my dear capitan.
01:01:56Your fancy manners do not impress me, Mr. Lorenzo.
01:02:00When do we divide the gold?
01:02:02In London, not before.
01:02:05Uh-huh.
01:02:07Then look, capitan, I will make a bargain with you.
01:02:10A bargain? Everybody wants to bargain with me, you and Mercy.
01:02:14Father and son, what do you think I am, a stinking sausage merchant?
01:02:18What kind of a bargain?
01:02:20The girl.
01:02:23All my life I have dreamed of a beautiful woman like that.
01:02:26Give me half of my dinero now, and you can split the rest between you.
01:02:30If you will let me have her.
01:02:33Fire on him.
01:02:35He's smitten with love again.
01:02:39I want her, and I am going to take her.
01:02:44Whether I like it or not.
01:02:48Uh-huh.
01:02:49With all this treasure on board, the crew is like a barrel of hot gunpowder.
01:02:56All that is needed is a word in the right ears.
01:02:59Do you mean mutiny?
01:03:02You're a witness.
01:03:04He's inciting the crew to mutiny.
01:03:08No, no, no, no, capitan.
01:03:11I was only joking.
01:03:14I was only joking.
01:03:16No, no, no, capitan.
01:03:18I was only joking.
01:03:20You have a very nasty way of joking, Mr. Lorenzo.
01:03:24As for the girl, I have my own plans for her, and they do not include you.
01:03:29Get out.
01:03:46Get out.
01:04:06Who is it?
01:04:07Adam Mercy.
01:04:10Mr. Mercy, I'm...
01:04:11Shh.
01:04:16Shh.
01:04:35Thank you for coming, Mr. Mercy. I'm...
01:04:36My name's Adam Blaine.
01:04:39Son of Lord Blaine.
01:04:41I knew it. I knew it.
01:04:44But what are you doing on this ship?
01:04:46I was killed and accused of piracy.
01:04:48Few people believe Lord Blaine.
01:04:49The king did.
01:04:51That's why I went to sea and turned pirate three years ago.
01:04:53That's why I'm on this ship.
01:04:54I knew that someday I'd come upon the truth.
01:04:57And you have.
01:05:01It was Captain Kidd who killed your father, wasn't it?
01:05:05Adam, I'm no fool.
01:05:08He did the same thing to my father.
01:05:11The fat butcher.
01:05:13It's taken me three years to track him down.
01:05:16Three years of degradation.
01:05:18Now I've got him where I want him and he knows it.
01:05:21You mean he knows who you are?
01:05:23He knows something.
01:05:25That's why you didn't admit to me who you were.
01:05:26Why you avoided me.
01:05:28If Kidd knows we shared this,
01:05:29he'd kill you with as little compunction as he means to kill me,
01:05:32if I let him.
01:05:34What can I do to help?
01:05:36There must be something.
01:05:40Forget everything you've seen on this ship.
01:05:41Play up to him.
01:05:42Be friendly.
01:05:43That way you'll be safe.
01:05:44Now, when you get back to London,
01:05:46no matter what has happened to me,
01:05:47go to the Lords of the Admiralty and the King.
01:05:50You'll be doing me a great service as well as yourself.
01:05:54I will, Adam. I promise.
01:05:59You're going to have trouble with Lorenzo.
01:06:01The beating of the lungs exciting the tiger.
01:06:04His blood's getting too rich for him.
01:06:05He'd be the better for bleeding.
01:06:08Things are getting a bit complicated, my Lord.
01:06:11The King may accept the elimination of the Queen of Merchants.
01:06:14An accident.
01:06:15Maybe even the sudden demise of Lord Ballsworth.
01:06:18But what about the Lady?
01:06:20You said you had plans for her.
01:06:22Do they include...
01:06:23Mr. Povey, the little dear is as safe with me as if she was my daughter.
01:06:27My passion's power and gold.
01:06:29Since she suspects nothing,
01:06:32I'll deliver her to His Majesty
01:06:34along with his share of the Queen of Merchants' goods.
01:06:37I'll weep appropriately over the untimely demise of her pa,
01:06:40receive the grateful thanks of me sovereign,
01:06:43and the peerage is mine.
01:06:45My Lord.
01:06:46Laugh if you will, but that's what I'll have.
01:06:49And neither man nor devil shall stop me.
01:07:00Shadwell?
01:07:01Senorita, milady.
01:07:03Do not be alarmed.
01:07:06Now that she knows who I am,
01:07:07and the kind of a ship she's on,
01:07:09I think we can count on her to keep ahead.
01:07:11You stay here till I come off watch.
01:07:38Shadwell!
01:07:44Use your head, Mr. Povey.
01:07:46Luck's with us tonight.
01:07:48Which if either of them would you like to see survive?
01:08:07Shadwell!
01:08:37Mr. Mercy, you did well to protect her.
01:09:08Are you all right, sir?
01:09:09Yes, I'm all right. Look after Lady Anne.
01:09:17Adam, what's the matter?
01:09:20My medallion, it's gone.
01:09:22It has the Blaine crest on it.
01:09:24Blaine.
01:09:26Blaine.
01:09:28Blaine.
01:09:30Blaine.
01:09:32Blaine.
01:09:34Blaine.
01:09:35Blaine.
01:09:38Perhaps I can find it for you, sir.
01:09:39No. It must have come off just before Lorenzo went through the port.
01:09:43Shadwell, take Lady Anne to her cabin.
01:09:45Oh, please, Adam, I can't go in there.
01:09:47You must, Anne. This is serious. It involves you.
01:09:49Remember, no matter what tricks he tries,
01:09:51you've never seen me before, and you don't know who I am, Shadwell, I think.
01:09:54Well, don't worry about me, sir.
01:09:56He never could get anything out of me, and he never will.
01:09:59It's the only way you'll be safe.
01:10:00Shadwell will watch out for you.
01:10:02What about you, Adam? What will he do?
01:10:05The same thing he's done to the others, if he gets a chance.
01:10:08Oh, Adam.
01:10:09Don't worry, Anne. I at least know what to expect.
01:10:11Go now.
01:10:14Shadwell, if anything does happen,
01:10:16remember you to stand by Lady Anne and see that she gets safely to London.
01:10:19I'll stake my life on it, sir.
01:10:20I know you will.
01:10:22Be careful, Adam.
01:10:24Please be careful.
01:10:28Come, milady.
01:10:36He's no king's man.
01:10:38Who is he, then?
01:10:40Tomorrow we put into the lagoon for water,
01:10:42and while the crew's getting it on board,
01:10:44you and me and Mr. Mercy's going to the cave.
01:10:47You're going to take him in there?
01:10:49I've a peculiar humor to watch my clever young friends fizz
01:10:52when we dig up their chests.
01:10:54Sweet dreams.
01:10:56Good night.
01:10:58Good night.
01:11:00Good night.
01:11:02Good night.
01:11:03Sweet dreams.
01:11:33Good night.
01:12:03Good night.
01:12:33Dig fast, Mr. Mercy. You haven't got forever.
01:12:40Who might this be?
01:12:44Perhaps a man that asks too many questions.
01:12:56Gently now, Mr. Mercy.
01:12:58You've come on something.
01:13:04So it was the Twelve Apostles, eh, Captain?
01:13:07Yes, it was, Mr. Mercy.
01:13:12Open it up.
01:13:34Blayne's.
01:13:36Blayne's.
01:13:40He was a brave seaman, but foolish.
01:13:43Did you happen to know him, Mr. Mercy?
01:13:46I'd heard of him.
01:13:48I thought perhaps you had.
01:13:52This.
01:13:55He's a young man.
01:13:57He's a young man.
01:13:59He's a young man.
01:14:01He's a young man.
01:14:03This is yours.
01:14:05Isn't it?
01:14:07I, uh, traded a ring for it.
01:14:10One of Avery's men.
01:14:12Yes.
01:14:14When I encountered Lord Blayne at sea, I did my simple duty as a loyal subject.
01:14:19A pity he turned pirate and traitor to his king.
01:14:24Liar!
01:14:33No.
01:14:35No.
01:14:44Blayne.
01:15:04He's meat for the sharks now, Mr. Povey.
01:15:07Tide closes this place in half an hour.
01:15:10We've nothing more to fear.
01:15:12Oh, yes, you have, Captain.
01:15:14Indeed, he has.
01:15:16It's a long voyage home, Mr. Povey.
01:15:18And anything might happen.
01:15:33Naturally, a ladyship is still very distressed, sir.
01:15:36In the midst of life, we are in death, Shadwell.
01:15:39And though me heart bleeds...
01:15:41My heart, sir.
01:15:43My heart bleeds.
01:15:49Confound you, Shadwell, you drove the thought right out of me head.
01:15:53And it was an uncommon pretty one.
01:15:55I'm sure of that, sir.
01:15:57Got her at once.
01:15:59Tell her she can't mourn forever,
01:16:00and I shall expect her to take her meals in the main cabin with the rest of us.
01:16:04Very well, sir.
01:16:08Poor lad.
01:16:10We turned just in time to see him go over the edge.
01:16:13Searched for an hour.
01:16:15Never came up.
01:16:17Well, here's to him.
01:16:20Wherever he is.
01:16:22You feeling ill?
01:16:25Yes, sir.
01:16:27I'll go to my cabin with your permission.
01:16:30If you wish, it's been quite a trying voyage.
01:16:33What with one little thing or another, but bear up.
01:16:36You'll soon be home again.
01:16:54I warned Adam not to go.
01:16:56No one could have stopped him.
01:16:57It was cold-blooded, planned, deliberate.
01:16:59The same will happen to our ladyship unless we can...
01:17:07Adam.
01:17:12Adam, how did you...
01:17:15They find you on board, sir.
01:17:17I've come back for Lady Anne.
01:17:19Oh, thank you, sir.
01:17:21I've been hanging on the rudder chain since dark, waiting for the turn of the watch.
01:17:23The jolly boat's moored astern.
01:17:25I waited alongside.
01:17:27It's secured right under this port.
01:17:29Wad get in it and drift aft under the main cabin.
01:17:31Where now?
01:17:33Get me some dry clothes. Shadwell, where's the captain?
01:17:35In his own cabin with Mr. Povey, sir.
01:17:37Examining the silver chest they brought back on board, sir.
01:17:39My father's chest.
01:17:41Shadwell, kid doesn't suspect you.
01:17:43Tell Lady Anne to get some things together,
01:17:45and when the coast is clear, you come back for me.
01:17:47Yes, sir.
01:17:58Bowser.
01:18:00Aye, sir.
01:18:02Round out both watches at daybreak.
01:18:04We're weighing on the morning tide.
01:18:06Aye, sir.
01:18:22Adam.
01:18:25Kid doesn't suspect Shadwell.
01:18:27He'll be evidence for us in London.
01:18:29Bart's in the small boat moored astern.
01:18:31We're raw ashore.
01:18:33Then where, Adam?
01:18:35Two days' journey overland is the pirate town of Last Hope.
01:18:37It's the most lawless place on earth, but I have friends there.
01:18:39Somehow they'll find us a ship for England.
01:18:41England.
01:18:43Now.
01:18:45Come on.
01:18:58Get down on the bow.
01:19:08Goodbye, pretty.
01:19:10Goodbye, my lord.
01:19:12Godspeed.
01:19:21I'll see you in England.
01:19:22Ahoy there!
01:19:24Who's in that boat now?
01:19:26Come on.
01:19:29Come on!
01:19:46Fire!
01:19:52Fire!
01:19:59Thank you, me lord scum.
01:20:10Fire!
01:20:13Hand the longboats!
01:20:23Bart!
01:20:26Bart!
01:20:31Hold on to me.
01:20:42Take her away!
01:20:53Take her away!
01:21:05He's dead as a mackerel.
01:21:07He's gone too.
01:21:09I guess that's the end of him, eh, Captain?
01:21:11Ah, good riddance.
01:21:13Back to the ship, boys.
01:21:22Come on.
01:21:45If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, my friend, forget it.
01:21:49There's a little matter of a letter I left in London.
01:21:52Spoilsport.
01:22:22Goodbye.
01:22:24Goodbye.
01:22:52Captain William Kidd.
01:23:03Greetings, Captain.
01:23:05What news have you brought me from the Indian seas?
01:23:08By your leave, your majesty, both good and ill, but mostly very good indeed.
01:23:12I returned by way of the American colonies, sire.
01:23:15So I understood.
01:23:17With the main points of your voyage, I am familiar.
01:23:20I wonder if you can enlighten me about the affair of the Queen's godchild, Lady Anne Dunstan, and your shipmaster, Mr. Mercy.
01:23:27Oh, that poor, impetuous fellow, sire.
01:23:30In vague that bud of innocence he did into running away with him.
01:23:34And catching him red-handed in defence of my very life.
01:23:38I was forced to dispatch them both.
01:23:41Rest in peace.
01:23:44Tell me, Captain, about the treasure.
01:23:46And the Cuida merchant.
01:23:48Unfortunate, sire.
01:23:50Most unfortunate.
01:23:52We'd ship, but that chest, when up she blew, and all souls went heavenward.
01:23:58Rest in peace to them.
01:24:00Ditto.
01:24:02I see.
01:24:04And about the Twelve Apostles and Lord Blayne, you encounter any trace?
01:24:09Nay, sire.
01:24:11I can only hope that the weight of his sins sank both him and his ship.
01:24:14I see.
01:24:16Then how do you explain this?
01:24:23Whose might that be, Your Majesty?
01:24:26My officers found it on your ship at Plymouth after you'd left for London.
01:24:30It bears the Blayne crest, with which I believe you are not unfamiliar.
01:24:35I've always felt that Mr. Povey, my surgeon, a very wily fellow indeed, was hiding something from me.
01:24:40Hiding it in a secret lazaret in your cabin, Captain?
01:24:42I hope Mr. Povey has a proper explanation, sire.
01:24:45Mr. Povey was killed three days ago defending it.
01:24:48With his dying oath, he swore it was not his.
01:24:50Perhaps Shadwell, my valet, slipped it aboard.
01:24:53Might it not have come from a Madagascar cave, Captain?
01:24:56Sounding dreadful queer about all this, Your Majesty.
01:24:58Enough of your lies!
01:25:00Look.
01:25:13A nightmare.
01:25:15A pity you overlooked last hope, Captain.
01:25:18We stood on the headland with my friend Avery and watched you sail by.
01:25:22May it please Your Majesty, I accuse this man of piracy and murder.
01:25:26Was ever a gentleman so misfortunate?
01:25:30Lock him up in Newgate.
01:25:32He is to be held for the next session of the court of Oyer in Termina.
01:25:35There to be tried for his life.
01:25:39Hands off me, you scum!
01:25:43All I done was to the credit and for the honor and glory of England!
01:25:50So here's me bequest.
01:25:53To them what hunts would I have hid.
01:25:56And to their sons' sons.
01:25:59Down through the endless corridors of time.
01:26:05Greed that spawns murder.
01:26:09Hatred that corrodes the soul.
01:26:14Ambition, the foulest trumpet of all.
01:26:20Hey, Jack! Jack Kent!
01:26:23Sell me a bit of that rope for sixpence, will you?
01:26:25Save your money, me lads.
01:26:28You can have it all for nothing if you'd only step up here and wear it.
01:26:39I ain't up yet.
01:26:41Can't wait forever.
01:26:46Captain Kidd is dead, my Lord Blayne.
01:26:49His account is closed.
01:26:51Now what manner can I atone for the injustice I worked upon your father?
01:26:55Offered your first sea lord, what do you suggest?
01:26:58We've a fine frigate of fifty guns, commissioned for American waters, sire.
01:27:03That we thought of naming the Lady Anne.
01:27:06It should be a wedding gift to you from the crown.
01:27:09For your loyalty and service to king and country.
