1
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,789
Heave!

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,952
- Report, Mr Mowett.
- Third and fourth divisions ready.

3
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,793
Right. Starboard battery, fire!

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,309
(cannon fire and shouting)

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,675
(lull in cannon fire)

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,073
(cannon fire restarts)

7
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,396
One minute and ten seconds!

8
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,072
(all) Huzzah!

9
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,754
Well done, lads.
Extra grog for all of you.

10
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,836
Huzzah!

11
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,035
Gangway for the captain, lads.

12
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,714
Marked improvement, Mr Calamy. Well done.

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,751
Thank you, sir.

14
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,079
Killick! Killick there!
What do you have for us tonight?

15
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,594
- Which it's soused hog's face.
- Eh?

16
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,151
- Which it is soused hog's face!
- My favourite. My favourite.

17
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,554
(Mowett) And when they run,
the Surprise will blow her to kingdom come!

18
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,631
(laughter)

19
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,871
One more week of this and
they'd give it up for a cup of water.

20
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,030
I can't make it rain.

21
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,230
I can harness the wind,
but I ain't its goddamn creator.

22
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,788
I have never known such a run of bad luck.

23
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:59,237
"And they said unto him
'For what caused the evil?"'

24
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,830
(laughter)

25
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,150
Where'd that come from?

26
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,750
It's from the Bible, that. That is
from the Bible. The story of the Jonah.

27
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,549
They found out on their ship
that one of their men-this Jonah cove -

28
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,552
he'd offended God
and was the cause of all their bad luck.

29
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:23,033
Evil comes... from him
who evil thinks and evil is.

30
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,636
- (sniggering)
- No, no. Joe knows a thing or two about evil.

31
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,995
From personal experience. Right, Joe?

32
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,439
It's like Killick says. Morning of the battle,
he doesn't have the guts to beat to quarters.

33
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,957
Then his entire gun crew's killed.
Soon as he went up the mizzen, Will falls.

34
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,669
And whose watch was it
when we lost our wind?

35
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,634
You there! Stand fast!

36
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,673
Master-at-arms, take that man below
and clap him in irons.

37
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,150
Mr Pullings, defaulters at eight bells.

38
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,878
Aye, sir.

39
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,437
Bring Hollom down to my cabin.

40
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,431
A man pushed past you,
yet you said nothing. Why?

41
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,318
I intended to, sir, but the right words didn't...

42
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,394
The right words?
He was deliberately insubordinate.

43
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,438
I've tried to get to know the men, sir,
and be friendly,

44
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,830
but they've taken a set against me.

45
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,110
Always whispering when I go past
and giving me looks.

46
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,998
I'll set that to rights.
I'll be much tougher on them.

47
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,470
You don't make friends
with the foremastjacks, lad.

48
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,678
They'll despise you in the end,
think you weak.

49
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,309
- Nor do you need to be a tyrant.
- No, sir.

50
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,595
I'm very sorry, sir.

51
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,956
- You're, what? 26, 27?
- I'm 30 next Friday, sir.

52
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,553
30?

53
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,757
You've failed to pass for lieutenant twice.

54
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:32,516
I know you have, but you're not a bad sailor.
You can't spend your life a midshipman.

55
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,070
No, sir. I will try much harder, sir.

56
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,836
Look, Hollom, it's leadership they want.

57
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,876
Strength.

58
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,193
Now, you find that within yourself,
and you will earn their respect.

59
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,156
Without respect,
true discipline goes by the board.

60
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,873
Yes, sir. Um...

61
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,829
Strength, respect... and discipline, sir.

62
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,388
Well... it's an unfortunate business, Hollom.

63
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,079
Damned unfortunate.

64
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,553
- That'll be all.
- Yes, sir.

65
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,513
- I am not a flogging captain.
- (Stephen) Hollom is a scapegoat

66
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,752
for all the bad luck,
real or imagined, on this voyage.

67
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,274
Mr Lamb? If you please.

68
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,477
(Stephen) They're exhausted.
These men are exhausted.

69
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,313
You've pushed them too hard.

70
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,915
Stephen, I invite you
to this cabin as my friend.

71
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,118
Not to criticise nor to comment
on my command.

72
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,513
Well, shall I leave you until
you're in a more harmonious frame of mind?

73
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,349
- What would you have me do?
- Tip the ship's grog over the side.

74
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,750
- Stop their grog?
- Nagle was drunk when he insulted Hollom.

75
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,991
Stop 200 years of privilege and tradition.

76
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,117
I'd rather have them three sheets to the wind
than face a mutiny.

77
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,395
I'm rather understanding of mutinies.

78
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,110
Men pressed from their homes, confined
for months aboard a wooden prison...

79
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:16,719
I respect your right to disagree with me,
but I can only afford one rebel on this ship.

80
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,198
I hate it when you talk of the service
in this way. It makes me so very low.

81
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,952
You think I want to flog Nagle?

82
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,476
A man who hacked the ropes
that sent his mate to his death?

83
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,313
Under my orders?

84
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,552
Do you not see? The only things that keep
this wooden world together are hard work...

85
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,949
Jack, the man failed to salute.

86
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,634
There's hierarchies even in nature.

87
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,748
- There is no disdain in nature. There is no...
- Men must be governed!

88
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,274
Often not wisely, but governed nonetheless.

89
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,478
That's the excuse of every tyrant in history,
from Nero to Bonaparte.

90
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,519
I, for one, am opposed to authority.
It is an egg of misery and oppression.

91
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,878
You've come to the wrong shop
for anarchy, brother.

92
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,352
Four.

93
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,079
Five.

94
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,872
Six.

95
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,798
Seven.

96
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,479
Eight.

97
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,832
Nine.

98
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,917
Ten.

99
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,109
Eleven.

100
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,957
Twelve.

101
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,956
(Pullings) Cut him down.

102
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,111
(whispering)

103
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,195
Shh. Not so loud.

104
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,554
(whispering continues)

105
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,714
Oh, put that dirk down, Boyle.

106
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,548
- (gasps)
- You OK, Mr Hollom?

107
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,598
- He's not ill, just dodging work as usual.
- Shut up!

108
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,638
- You shut up.
- Just leave him be.

109
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,598
- Have some water.
- Oh, thank you.

110
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,870
Sir. Sir, it's Mr Hollom.

111
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,431
There's nothing physically wrong with him.
He thinks he's been cursed.

112
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,669
Sailors can abide a great deal,
but not a Jonah.

113
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,278
My God. You believe it too.

114
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,190
Not everything is in your books, Stephen.

115
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,271
It's him, innit?

116
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,638
The Jonah.

117
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,631
He's causing it.

118
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,157
He's callin' it up, don't you see?

119
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,711
Every time he's on watch, that ship appears.

120
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,634
You wait and see.

121
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:16,470
Any time tonight,
that ghost ship's gonna turn up.

122
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,196
And it's gonna take us all with it,
straight down to the hot place.

123
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,109
(gasps)

124
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,270
Mr Hollom.

125
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,954
You gave me such a start.

126
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,390
Are you feeling better now?

127
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,870
Yes. Much better, thank you.

128
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,918
The captain thinks
we'll get our wind tomorrow.

129
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,991
I'm sure of it.

130
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,150
You've always been very kind to me.

131
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,269
Goodbye, Blakeney.

132
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,198
(bell tolls)

133
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,356
The simple truth is, not all of us become
the men we once hoped we might be.

134
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,273
But we are all God's creatures.

135
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,072
If there are those among us
who thought ill of Mr Hollom,

136
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,554
or spoke ill of him,

137
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,670
or failed him in respect of fellowship...

138
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,270
then we ask for your forgiveness, Lord.

139
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,430
And we ask for his.

140
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,028
God be praised. Mr Mowett?

141
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,316
(exuberant shouting)

142
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,715
Avast there!

143
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,872
- Doctor, have you seen the bird?
- What sort of bird?

144
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:34,638
Some sort of albatross. Either that, or
he's a prodigious great mew. There it goes.

145
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,474
There he is. My bird, my bird. Damn!

146
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,950
- (laughter)
- It's circling, lads!

147
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,789
Doctor?

148
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,110
My God! Doctor! Doctor!

149
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,110
I'm so sorry, man.
The bird dropped low. I didn't see you.

150
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,837
- Calamy, get Higgins.
- I'm fine, Jack.

151
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,473
The bullet took in a piece of shirt with it.

152
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,395
Unless it's removed,
it's gonna suppurate and fester.

153
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,357
Are you equal to the task?

154
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:38,276
Well, I'll need to read up on the doctor's
books, like. Study some pictures he has.

155
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,191
Study some pictures?

156
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,238
It's just to get my bearings, that's all.

157
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:49,668
Well, it'd be a lot easier if I were on dry land.
You know, you wouldn't have the...

158
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,149
I'll manage. You'll see.

159
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,149
Sail on the horizon, sir. Running west.

160
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,433
We're not sure, but we think it's her, sir.

161
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,111
Better get...

162
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,431
Goodbye, sir.

163
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,873
(Allen) No mistakin' it. She's the Frenchie.

164
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,157
Shall we beat to quarters, sir?

165
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,389
Tell me this wasn't on my account.

166
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,395
No, not at all.
I just needed to stretch my legs.

167
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,349
Gently there.

168
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,469
Briskly now. Secure this line.

169
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,711
Royal Marines posted every 20 yards, sir.

170
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,788
- All set, Higgins?
- Yes, sir.

171
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,189
No.

172
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,638
I do this with my own hand.

173
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,838
If everything is under control,
I'll just be outside.

174
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,878
(Stephen) A spare pair of steady hands
wouldn't go amiss.

175
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,239
That is, if, of course, you have
the constitution for this kind of thing.

176
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:48,188
My dear doctor, I have been amongst
and around wounds all my life.

177
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,790
Well, good, then.

178
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,314
Put your hand on my belly,

179
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,755
pressing firmly when I give the word.

180
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,150
Higgins, the catling, if you please.

181
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,470
Padeen, please.

182
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,589
The sounder, Mr Higgins.

183
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,911
Swab.

184
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,551
All right.

185
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,477
Mr Higgins, you'll have to raise the rib.

186
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,233
Take a good grip... with the square retractor.

187
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,676
Right in.

188
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,637
And lift up.

189
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,119
Lift up.

190
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,472
(whimpers)

191
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,148
Swab, Jack. I can't see.

192
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,272
Are you all right?

193
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,831
I got it.

194
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,195
A tad more pressure.

195
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,194
- Is that all of it?
- Aye, sir.

196
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,996
She'll patch up nicely.

197
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,911
Thank God I got it.

198
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,919
(shouting)

199
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,592
Oh, that's good.

200
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,638
Sir! Sir!

201
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,395
- Padeen and I have been collecting for you.
- Have you really?

202
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,950
The beetles each come with a specimen
of the plant they were found on.

203
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,395
Padeen, that one's got away.

204
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,553
Sir, I've made a few notes,
if you want to see them.

205
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,799
Mr Blakeney, it would appear that
you have the makings of a naturalist.

206
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:39,479
Well, sir, perhaps I could combine them to be
a sort of... fighting naturalist, like you, sir.

207
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,516
(chuckles)

208
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,797
They don't combine too well, I find.

209
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,869
Right.

210
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,235
Should you really be getting up, sir?

211
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,630
- Mr Blakeney, are you also a doctor?
- No, sir.

212
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,996
No, you're not. Padeen, if you please.

213
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,432
How long does the captain
intend that we stay? Do you know?

214
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,595
- Oh, a week perhaps.
- A week?

215
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,559
- There's no great hurry.
- Mustn't we make haste for the Marquesas?

216
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,438
I'm not even sure
it was the Acheron we sighted.

217
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,355
And if it was, she'll be well away by now.
Like looking for an honest man in parliament.

218
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,355
No, we shall head home. Before peace
breaks out with France, God forbid.

219
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,116
I fear you may have burdened me
with a debt I can never repay.

220
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,194
Tosh. Name a shrub after me.
Something prickly and hard to eradicate.

221
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,751
A shrub? Nonsense.
I'll name a great tortoise after you.

222
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,513
Testudo aubreii.

223
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,190
(sea lions bark)

224
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,110
(sea lion growls)

225
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,677
Come on, pack up your things.
We should be going.

226
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,832
- Back to camp, sir?
- No, to the other side of the island.

227
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,198
- But, sir, that must be at least ten miles.
- Then there's not a moment to lose.

228
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,158
That's where I saw my flightless cormorant.

229
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,071
Come on.

230
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,393
Seven inches in length.

231
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,316
Four inches wide.

232
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,789
15-inches-Iong neck.

233
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,992
Width at the widest point... six inches.

234
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,190
Padeen, put the net down
and use your hands. They won't bite.

235
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,430
Here's a good one.

236
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,759
Pick them up carefully.

237
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:24,113
Sir, I think we should be getting back.

238
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,479
Naval discipline doesn't operate out here,
Mr Blakeney. I must find that cormorant.

239
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,154
And should it indeed prove flightless,

240
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,875
you can join me at the Royal Society dinner
as co-discoverer.

241
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:48,395
(bird cry)

242
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,595
(quiet clicking)

243
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,679
Mr Blakeney.

244
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,395
Sir, we must hurry.

245
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,992
Padeen, you must carry him. Put those down.
Leave them. Just put everything down.

246
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,999
Open the cages.

247
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,516
- All hands, unmoor ship!
- Mr Allen, I'll have her on a starboard tack.

248
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,672
Let's have hands to stow these tortoises.

249
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,673
Barret Bonden,
put your helm hard to starboard.

250
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,911
He has a head start of two hours on us
and he's bearing south.

251
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,549
That can only mean King Charles Island.
He's looking for water.

252
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:09,512
If we caught up with her, I mean, to take her...
we'd have to be bloody invisible.

253
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,513
(above) Brace the yards to starboard!

254
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,392
So, Stephen, did you get to see your bird?

255
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,314
No. Well, yes, but I couldn't catch one.

256
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,833
No, my greatest discovery
was your phantom.

257
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,755
Indeed it was. I'm sorry you had to leave
the majority of your collection behind.

258
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,597
In actual fact, Mr Blakeney and I
did make one... very interesting find.

259
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,274
Is that right?

260
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,470
Let me guess. A stick?

261
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,311
Tell him about it, Mr Blakeney.

262
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,631
- It's a rare phasmid, sir.
- A phasmid?

263
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,955
It's an insect that disguises itself as a stick
in order to confuse its predators.

264
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,270
A nautical phasmid, Doctor.

265
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,150
At least, to a hungry eye,
if one has an appetite for whalers.

266
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,392
I intend to take a greater interest
in the bounty of nature from now on.

267
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,837
I had no idea that a study of nature
could advance the art of naval warfare.

268
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,831
Oh, I see.

269
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,912
Now to pull this predator in close
and spring our trap.

270
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,433
- Jack?
- Yes.

271
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,239
You're the predator.

272
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,309
There. Hull-down,
broad off the larboard bow.

273
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,231
That's a frigate, all right.

274
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,392
Damn, you've got good eyes, Barret.

275
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,439
- Mr Allen! More smoke.
- Aye, sir!

276
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,034
That'll bring 'em about.

277
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,036
That's it, lads. Clean 'em up
so they fly straight and true.

278
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,438
Let's have fresh flints in all the locks.

279
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,830
(Pullings) Larboard battery,
unship your rear wheels.

280
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,151
Drop the gun.

281
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,710
- Come on, Killick, you too. Get dressed.
- Oh, God!

282
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,598
- Tom?
- Our preparations are completed, sir.

283
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,196
Good. Right, from now on
no "sirs", no salutes, no whistles, no bells.

284
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,872
Aye, sir.

285
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,430
Yes, I think we're all
finding that quite difficult.

286
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,198
There'll be 30 or more whalers
locked in the Acheron's hold.

287
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,511
After we board, Mr Calamy
should take a party and free them.

288
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,309
- You think him ready, sir?
- Were you ready, Tom?

289
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,073
- He may well turn the tide.
- Indeed, sir.

290
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,390
She's taken the bait. Let's come about.

291
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,359
Make a show of fleeing, panicky
and disorganised, like a whaler might.

292
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,749
Present company excepted, Mr Hogg.

293
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,637
Hurry up, or they'll see you.

294
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,793
Eckhart, leave that. Just come up quick
and get some whaler's slops on.

295
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,228
- Congratulations. Acting third lieutenant.
- Thank you.

296
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,836
- I hear we're to free the whalers.
- You're to be stationed on the quarterdeck.

297
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,229
I'm sorry, Will.

298
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,353
Make a bad show of keeping your course.
Let her run up and luff every now and then.

299
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,953
- Excuse me, sir.
- Remove your hat. We're whalers.

300
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,079
Mr Calamy says I'm not
on the boarding party. I wanted to say...

301
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,073
I know what you want to say.
And my answer is no.

302
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,358
You'll lead your gun crew, then when
we board, you'll take command of the ship.

303
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,638
- Do I make myself clear?
- Take command of the ship... Thank you, sir.

304
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:11,154
- Back to your station.
- Yes, sir.

305
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,272
On your right upper arm,
to tell friend from foe!

306
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,874
Davies, this arm. Starboard arm.

307
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,555
- Is that the arm you got or don't got?
- Less of that cheek, Davies.

308
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,269
Take your neck cloths
and put them round your right upper arm.

309
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,828
Make way for the captain.

310
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,151
Congratulations, Lieutenant.

311
00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:34,719
Right, lads.

312
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,030
I know there's not a faint heart among you,

313
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,749
and I know you're as anxious as I am
to get into close action.

314
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,276
But we must bring him right up beside us
before we spring this trap.

315
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,271
That will test our nerve.

316
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,273
And discipline will count
just as much as courage.

317
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,559
The Acheron is a tough nut to crack.
More than twice our guns and numbers.

318
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,757
And they will sell their lives dearly.

319
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,593
Topmen, your handling of the sheets
to be lubberly and un-navylike,

320
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,274
until the signal
to spill the wind from our sails.

321
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,596
This will bring us almost to a complete stop.

322
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,150
Gun crews, you must run out and tie down
in double-quick time.

323
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:19,314
With the rear wheels removed you've gained
elevation, but without recoil you can't reload.

324
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,474
So, gun captains, that gives you one shot
from the larboard battery. One shot only.

325
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,156
You'll fire for her mainmast.
Much will depend on your accuracy.

326
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:37,238
However, even crippled she will still
be dangerous, like a wounded beast.

327
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,116
Captain Howard and the marines

328
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,318
will sweep their weather deck with swivel gun
and musket fire from the tops.

329
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,312
They'll try and even the odds for us
before we board.

330
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,430
They mean to take us as a prize.

331
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:58,959
And we are worth more to them undamaged.
Their greed... will be their downfall.

332
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,439
England is under threat of invasion.

333
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,513
And though we be on the far side
of the world, this ship is our home.

334
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,833
This ship is England.

335
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,197
So it's every hand to his rope or gun.
Quick's the word and sharp's the action.

336
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,511
After all, surprise is on our side.

337
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,999
(laughter)

338
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,198
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

339
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,358
- Toss them high so they can see them.
- Hello, Doctor.

340
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,759
Jack.

341
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,990
- Care for a cigar?
- Thank you, no.

342
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,548
If you please, Doctor.

343
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,037
- I took the liberty, Doctor.
- Thank you, Killick.

344
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,591
- There's three lumps in there.
- How kind.

345
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,079
(shots roar over)

346
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,509
- Good luck, Will.
- Good luck, Peter.

347
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:51,630
- See you afterwards.
- And you.

348
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,110
Steady now, lads. Keep calm.

349
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,916
(over voice trumpet)
English whaler Syren, this is Acheron.

350
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,592
- Barret.
- Sir.

351
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,276
You have no possibility, no chance.
But you have had warning.

352
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,670
Stop now, or we will destroy your ship.

353
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,036
English whaler, this is your last warning.

354
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,238
Stop now, or we will destroy you.

355
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,470
- Let fly!
- Let fly!

356
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,989
- Haul your yards there!
- C'est un navire de guerre!

357
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,350
Run out, boys!

358
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,555
Fire!

359
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:34,438
Fire!

360
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,554
For the mainmast, lads!

361
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,555
- Let me through.
- Fire!

362
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,714
(sudden silence)

363
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,590
(creaking)

364
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,037
(French sailors shout)

365
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,279
Huzzah!

366
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,031
Hard a-larboard!

367
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:26,154
Right the headsails! Set the topsails!

368
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,468
Heave!

369
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,273
Man the starboard battery!

370
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,435
Fire as she bears!

371
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,913
Get to it! Get to it!

372
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,514
It's the fallen mast! We can't lay alongside.

373
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,512
Cross the wreckage as best you can.
I'll draw their fire.

374
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,388
- (Mowett) My division to join Mr Pullings!
- (Allen) Clew up topsails!

375
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,358
- Huzzah for Lucky Jack!
- Huzzah!

376
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,954
Grappling hooks away!

377
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,349
Run out the boarding planks!

378
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,349
- My division, follow me!
- For England, for home, and for the prize!

379
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,428
Here we go, lads!

380
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,193
(cheering and battle cries)

381
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,431
Pipe down. Silence.

382
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,075
(groaning)

383
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,191
Looks like the job is done, sir.

384
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,952
Acheron!

385
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,829
Fire!

386
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,155
Mr Blakeney, the nine-pounder!

387
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,037
That's it!

388
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,155
Fire!

389
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,595
Keep moving, men! Keep moving!

390
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,517
Joe!

391
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,718
Grenades, ready!

392
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,313
They're aiming for our hull!

393
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,994
They could sink us! Depress the muzzle!

394
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,996
Padeen, train it aft!

395
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,672
Together now!

396
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,596
Stand clear!

397
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,398
Fire!

398
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:03,549
Arm yourselves! We must board them!

399
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,871
Follow me!

400
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,352
Now!

401
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,799
Whalers, follow me!
Mr Hogg, down below! Quickly now!

402
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,789
Albatrosses! Albatrosses, do you hear me?

403
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:40,676
To the guns! To the guns!

404
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,350
Boyle, douse that gun's priming!

405
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,998
Lively there! Come on! Move!

406
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,994
Now do your worst!

407
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,956
Non! Non! Non!

408
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,917
- Mr Howard.
- Sir.

409
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,514
- Have they struck their colours?
- I believe so.

410
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,115
- Has their captain been sighted?
- Not yet, sir.

411
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,997
- Carry on.
- Aye, sir.

412
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,991
- Le capitaine?
- L'infirmerie.

413
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,031
Docteur? Docteur?

414
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,111
Oui.

415
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,749
Docteur de Vigny, monsieur.

416
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,513
I did what I could for him.

417
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,359
Before the capitaine died...
he said I was to give you this.

418
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,513
No. I'll do it.

419
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,989
Can you help me?

420
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,632
Our Father,

421
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:35,599
(all) who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

422
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,389
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

423
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,755
on earth as it is in heaven.

424
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,039
Give us this day our daily bread,

425
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,830
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

426
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,833
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

427
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,797
For thine is the kingdom,

428
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,836
the power and the glory,

429
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,911
forever and ever.

430
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,479
Amen.

431
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,390
Robert Gardner, able seaman.

432
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,155
James Lloyd, boatswain's mate.

433
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,152
Robert Kemp, able seaman.

434
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,074
John Antonio, quartermaster's mate.

435
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,068
Michael Doudle, able seaman.

436
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,035
Joseph Nagle, carpenter's mate.

437
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,717
John Allen, sailing master.

438
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,911
Peter Miles Calamy...

439
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,590
lieutenant.

440
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,037
We therefore commit
their bodies to the deep,

441
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,190
to be turned into corruption,

442
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,955
Iooking for the resurrection of the body
when the sea shall give up her dead,

443
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,793
and the life of the world to come,

444
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,077
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

445
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,151
Amen.

446
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,035
It's our old friend.

447
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,715
(distant orders)

448
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,078
Pass down a barrel of paint, please.

449
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,313
Sir, the whalers are all aboard
and that's the last detachment of marines.

450
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,958
Good, good.

451
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,713
I think I shall return to the Galapagos.

452
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,395
Take on food and water and give
the doctor a few days to find his bird.

453
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,629
Very good, sir.

454
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:53,030
You, however,
shall take the Acheron south to Valpara�so.

455
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:58,114
Parole the prisoners there, refit as necessary,
and we shall rendezvous in Portsmouth.

456
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,112
I believe Mr Hogg
would be a good choice for sailing master.

457
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,751
However, that will be your decision,
Captain Pullings.

458
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,471
Your orders.

459
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,759
- Thank you, sir.
- Godspeed, Tom.

460
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,751
And to you, sir.

461
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,157
- Mr Mowett?
- With pleasure, sir.

462
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:30,834
- Good luck.
- See you in Portsmouth.

463
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,236
Now, lads, huzzah for Captain Pullings!

464
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,151
- Hip, hip...
- Huzzah!

465
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,397
- Hip, hip...
- Huzzah!

466
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,479
- Hip, hip...
- Huzzah!

467
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,155
- (Blakeney) Good luck, sir.
- Good luck, Captain.

468
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,358
(violin and cello tuning up)

469
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,351
Oh, here we go again.

470
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,795
(Aubrey) Killick! Killick there!

471
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,553
Which it will be ready when it's ready!

472
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,678
I'll rest easier when I know
they've reached shore.

473
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,834
So many wounded, and only that poor
unfortunate Higgins to tend to them.

474
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,435
Still, he's better than no doctor at all.

475
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,116
- I met their doctor. I spoke to him.
- No, he died of fever months ago.

476
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,668
- De Vigny?
- Mm.

477
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,918
Ah.

478
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:46,349
- Pass the word for Mr Mowett.
- Mr Mowett to the great cabin.

479
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,352
Their "doctor" gave me this sword.

480
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:51,429
Sir.

481
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,432
Mr Mowett, change of course.
Southeast by east.

482
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,876
We'll intercept the Acheron
and escort them into Valpara�so.

483
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,713
Aye, sir. Sou'east by east.

484
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:04,359
- And William...
- Sir?

485
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,079
- Beat to quarters.
- Very good, sir.

486
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,230
Subject to the requirements of the service.

487
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,392
Ah.

488
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,557
Well, Stephen... the bird's flightless?

489
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,675
Yes.

490
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:30,314
It's not going anywhere.

491
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,394
(strums jolly tune on violin)
