00:04:30Looks like all you won life.
00:04:32He could have lost his own, he could.
00:04:34I always pay off, no matter how long it takes.
00:04:37Here's my hand knife.
00:04:39No need.
00:04:41Sounds like a blooming gambler.
00:04:45That isn't so far from the truth.
00:04:47Come on, you better get cleaned up.
00:04:59Blimey, I ain't half hungry.
00:05:01Funny when it's so hot in the daytime,
00:05:03it gets so rock and cold at night.
00:05:05Yeah, cold as Christmas.
00:05:09Back in New York, it's a different kind of cold.
00:05:12Last Christmas I was...
00:05:13Oh yes, I suppose you was in the old oak hole
00:05:15with a blazing fire and a bowl of steaming punch.
00:05:17Three years ago, I was planning to be home for Christmas.
00:05:20With presents for my kids.
00:05:23Home for Christmas.
00:05:25Why don't you go there then and stop yawing about it?
00:05:27That's hardly a fair question, is it?
00:05:29No, it's fair enough, son.
00:05:31I have it coming to me.
00:05:34My name's not Reba.
00:05:37It's Lachlan.
00:05:39Lachlan?
00:05:40Of the Sea Corsair.
00:05:42You mean you was that ship's captain...
00:05:44Shut up.
00:05:48Blimey, look at his ring.
00:05:50That ought to be good for a meal or two.
00:05:52No, you don't.
00:05:54He's got jewelry on him and I'm starving to death.
00:05:56Why don't you do something about it?
00:05:58You'll steal one of the Commissioner's prize pigs.
00:06:00Hey, that's not a bad idea.
00:06:02You could never eat a whole pig.
00:06:04Well, that's all right.
00:06:06See, what we couldn't eat right now, we could smoke to for later.
00:06:14That was a good idea you had.
00:06:16What we can't eat, we'll smoke for later.
00:06:22It was his fault we was caught.
00:06:24I told him to grab hold of the pig's snoot so he wouldn't snort.
00:06:28Hey, you.
00:06:30What time do they serve breakfast around here?
00:06:36Look, a schooner.
00:06:40About 120 ton, I'd say.
00:06:42And Yankee, too, by the rig of it.
00:06:44What's her name?
00:06:46Here, hand me my glass.
00:06:48That ain't Paul, no, Bobby.
00:06:50The other trinkets.
00:06:52She's flying a yellow flag.
00:06:54Yes, so she is.
00:06:56Pestilence aboard.
00:06:58What I wouldn't give for my own ship.
00:07:02What do you think the Commissioner will do with it?
00:07:04Send it to the penal colony, probably.
00:07:06Oh, what's the difference?
00:07:08One beach is as good as another.
00:07:10I do not know what you're saying.
00:07:14You've never seen those men.
00:07:16Those men with shaved heads,
00:07:18prowling around in gangs like wolves.
00:07:20How do you know?
00:07:22I got away.
00:07:24I got away, but I will be dead
00:07:26before they take me back.
00:07:30Why don't you believe him?
00:07:32Bobby's just trying to scare us.
00:07:34He ain't gonna scare me.
00:07:40I've been a river.
00:07:44That's the name I go by.
00:07:46You come pretty quick.
00:07:48Who wants me?
00:07:50You know, make talk come pretty quick.
00:07:52Us?
00:07:54No, him.
00:07:56Well, goodbye.
00:07:58Let's get on.
00:08:10Well,
00:08:12there goes one less mouth to feed.
00:08:14Don't be a fool.
00:08:16Think they're gonna take him and not us?
00:08:18You know,
00:08:20I ain't gonna die in no slave corner.
00:08:22Hey!
00:08:24You let me out of here, will you?
00:08:26You traitor, come here!
00:08:28Let me out of here!
00:08:30There is a way out of here, will you?
00:08:32Be quiet!
00:08:34I can't dig anymore.
00:08:36Come on and dig.
00:08:38I got a touch of lumbago every time I dig.
00:08:40Dig!
00:08:42You want to wind up in that penal colony?
00:08:44A whore in the house.
00:08:46A whore in the house.
00:08:48Captain!
00:08:50Bobby, that ain't beer.
00:08:52Beer it isn't, plenty of it.
00:08:56Sausage.
00:08:58They make a whore look.
00:09:00All right, all right, go on, get out.
00:09:02I thought we'd never see you again.
00:09:04Same with me.
00:09:06Boys, I got a ship.
00:09:08No.
00:09:10It's my big chance at last.
00:09:12Who give you a ship?
00:09:14The commissioner.
00:09:16He sits me down.
00:09:18He says, I know you've lost your papers,
00:09:20but you can sail a ship.
00:09:22And there's one here I've got to get out of Tahoe immediately.
00:09:24It's the Seaward.
00:09:26Out of Frisco for Sydney with a cargo of California champagne.
00:09:28What's wrong with the ship?
00:09:30The Kanaka crew were as good as lost.
00:09:32Well, now when I navigate them,
00:09:34well, I'll navigate them.
00:09:36I even got my things out of harbor.
00:09:38Well, that's fine.
00:09:40You bet it is.
00:09:42I'm shipping you as mate.
00:09:44Me? I'm no sailor.
00:09:46And you're going to be Stewart, Jewish.
00:09:48Okay, Captain.
00:09:50It's all set.
00:09:52Then we're free here?
00:09:54I told him I'd choose my own hands.
00:09:56There's no time to waste.
00:09:58Captain,
00:10:00I want you to know I'm grateful.
00:10:02For what?
00:10:04My life, for one thing.
00:10:06For this.
00:10:08Makes me feel I belong to something.
00:10:10I understand that.
00:10:12Wish there was some other way I could say it.
00:10:14Maybe you'll have a chance to.
00:10:16Sooner than you think.
00:10:18Well, I've got to get going.
00:10:20I've got to get going.
00:10:22I've got to get going.
00:10:24I've got to get going.
00:10:26Well, sooner than you think.
00:10:32That's a surly crew.
00:10:34Hey, Captain, here.
00:10:38Here.
00:10:40Look what I found.
00:10:42What is? What do you make of this?
00:10:44It's a stocking, female.
00:10:46Find it down below.
00:10:48Do you know what I think?
00:10:50I think you're sailing with Captain Wishart,
00:10:52who's commanded the ship, and a female companion.
00:10:54That reminds me of my home and my mother.
00:10:56Better keep your mind off that for a while.
00:10:58How many days before we get to Sydney, Captain?
00:11:00Now, what are you planning to do when we get to Sydney?
00:11:02Draw me pay, of course,
00:11:04and redo me social art.
00:11:06Oh, very nice.
00:11:08Only what pay?
00:11:10We've already spent what's coming to us
00:11:12to get our dunnage out and pay for our bills.
00:11:14Blimey, are we working for a dead horse?
00:11:16Well, that's the way it is.
00:11:18Unless...
00:11:20we didn't go for Sydney.
00:11:22Didn't go for Sydney?
00:11:24I was just thinking.
00:11:26If we should run for Peru now...
00:11:28Peru?
00:11:30Well, I thought we were supposed to...
00:11:32Yes, I know.
00:11:34But in Peru, we might be able to sell our cargo at the pierhead.
00:11:36And the schooner after it.
00:11:38Stock me stone dead.
00:11:40You mean steal the ship?
00:11:42Now, that's what I call a blimmin' brainwave coming at me.
00:11:44Don't do it, Captain.
00:11:46You've got a ship again.
00:11:48You've got a chance for a new life.
00:11:50What do you want me to do when I deliver this cargo?
00:11:52Go back on the beach again?
00:11:54But you'll get another ship.
00:11:56Never. You forget the sea costs there.
00:11:58You're not the first captain who ever lost a ship.
00:12:00The way I lost her.
00:12:02Might as well have bored a hole in her.
00:12:04But something will turn up in Sydney.
00:12:06With my reputation?
00:12:08No. No papers, no ship.
00:12:10I tell you, boy, I'm finished.
00:12:12This is my last chance.
00:12:14Don't do it, Captain.
00:12:16What do you want me to do?
00:12:19You feed an old woman and three kids at home
00:12:21and they're hard up.
00:12:23You'll be quiet.
00:12:25Not if you stand by me.
00:12:27I tell you, boy, I'm desperate.
00:12:29You say you owe me something.
00:12:31Then stand by me and back me up.
00:12:33It's no good stealing.
00:12:35I know.
00:12:37Oh, yes, milord.
00:12:39What did you do to get yourself kicked out of jolly old America, eh?
00:12:41Run off with your best pal's wife, did you?
00:12:43Or was it some little anky-banky with the cards?
00:12:45If you're so much as lay a hand on me,
00:12:47I'll cut your tongue.
00:12:49I'm the captain here. I'll do as I say.
00:12:51We're for parole.
00:12:53Ready to come about?
00:12:55Stand by the main sheet, Mr. Hick.
00:12:57Don't change your course.
00:12:59You're taking the ship into Sydney.
00:13:01Strike me up a blooming gum tree.
00:13:03Who are you?
00:13:05Don't come any nearer.
00:13:07I'm Faith Wishart, Captain Wishart's daughter.
00:13:09You mean the one that died?
00:13:11He died carrying out orders.
00:13:13If you understand what that means.
00:13:15He was taking this cargo into Sydney
00:13:17and that's where it's going.
00:13:19Oh, yes? Shut up.
00:13:21Are you planning to stand there and point that at me
00:13:23until we've berthed in Sydney?
00:13:25You'll have a stiff arm, miss, if you wait that long.
00:13:27I don't have to stand here.
00:13:29I can watch you from below.
00:13:31Oh, so you were listening, eh?
00:13:33What if I was?
00:13:35That's what I call being dishonorable.
00:13:37You're a fine lot of thieves to talk about honor.
00:13:39Stealing my ship.
00:13:41Your ship?
00:13:43That owner.
00:13:45Now that he's dead, I...
00:13:47Stay where you are.
00:13:49Now, don't be foolish, miss.
00:13:51What can you do?
00:13:53I can make you deliver this cargo into Sydney.
00:13:55The crew is with me.
00:13:57I can see that.
00:13:59They hit you.
00:14:01I've got all the arms on the ship.
00:14:03I can use them if I have to.
00:14:05Now, don't change your course.
00:14:13Ain't she that appealing out of the blue?
00:14:15She's a pretty bit of fluff.
00:14:17I wouldn't have had this happen for anything.
00:14:19Oh, I don't know.
00:14:21It'd be advantageous.
00:14:23Don't you be getting any ideas.
00:14:25Oh, you want her for yourself, do you?
00:14:27Leave me alone here, Captain.
00:14:29Go and take him.
00:14:31Nothing's changed here.
00:14:33Leave that girl alone.
00:14:35Me, I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole.
00:14:39You're going through with it, Captain?
00:14:41My kids mean more to me than Captain Wishart's kid.
00:14:43Now, ready about.
00:14:45I warn you.
00:14:47And I warn you, miss.
00:14:49I'm the only man aboard who can handle the ship.
00:14:51It's Peru or the bottom.
00:14:53And it wouldn't be the first one he's put down there.
00:14:55Put it carefully.
00:14:57Ready about.
00:14:59It ain't she, Mr. Herrick.
00:15:11Captain.
00:15:33Captain.
00:15:35Bill, I...
00:15:37Is he dead?
00:15:39Get forward, you devils.
00:15:41I'll show you what's happened here.
00:15:43He's not buried.
00:15:45Get forward, I said.
00:15:47You, stand by the main sheet.
00:15:49Jump for the jib sheet.
00:15:51Jump or I'll skin you alive.
00:16:09I'm going to knock a hole
00:16:11right through the pommodus.
00:16:13You'll have to watch her.
00:16:15Dead reckoned.
00:16:17I'm afraid it'll be a long time
00:16:19before I can...
00:16:21No.
00:16:23Here, I'll show you.
00:16:25Where's my sexton?
00:16:27Here, I'll show you.
00:16:29Here, I'll show you.
00:16:31Here, I'll show you.
00:16:33Here, I'll show you.
00:16:35Here, I'll show you.
00:16:37Here, I'll show you.
00:16:39Where's my sexton?
00:16:41Hand me that box, will you?
00:16:47This is an old-timer.
00:16:49Like me.
00:16:53Looks good.
00:16:55Been a long time.
00:16:57But a man doesn't forget.
00:16:59Say, she's a beauty.
00:17:04That was the sea cossair.
00:17:06Oh.
00:17:08The most beautiful bog that ever sailed
00:17:10the eastern ocean.
00:17:12She was the same as a fine lady.
00:17:16I was drunk in my birth
00:17:18when she struck.
00:17:24You didn't know I was a drunkard, did you?
00:17:30I'm sorry, Captain.
00:17:32You should have had sense enough to get down with her.
00:17:34It's all over.
00:17:36All over.
00:17:38And this is...
00:17:40What did you call it?
00:17:42Fresh start.
00:17:44I got my family to think about.
00:17:46I got two boys, you know.
00:17:48Great.
00:17:50And a girl, too.
00:17:52Ada.
00:17:54She's the oldest.
00:17:56I'll bet she's a baby.
00:17:58Well, she's a girl, and...
00:18:00Say, where's that wishet girl?
00:18:02She went on deck, sir.
00:18:04No, this won't do. She's got to eat.
00:18:06Where's that steward?
00:18:08He and steward go down the forward hole.
00:18:10A hole?
00:18:12What business has he got?
00:18:14No, mister.
00:18:16I'll attend to him myself.
00:18:26George.
00:18:28George.
00:18:32Up in a balloon, boys.
00:18:34Up in a balloon.
00:18:36All around the little stars
00:18:38And sailing round the moon.
00:18:40What is this?
00:18:44Ah, it's...
00:18:46It is, if you ask me, bubbly.
00:18:48A bubbly one.
00:18:50It's broken into cargo.
00:18:52All right.
00:18:54Take it off the bill.
00:18:56Have a drop.
00:18:58Cheerio.
00:19:00Chin-chin.
00:19:02There'll be no drinking aboard this ship.
00:19:04Who are you to be so blooming particular?
00:19:06I'm captain here.
00:19:08I know just what you mean, captain.
00:19:12Nail up that case now.
00:19:14What's the parishionary?
00:19:16Give me that.
00:19:20You've already got it.
00:19:22Nail it up.
00:19:24All right.
00:19:26Now she is always willing to oblige.
00:19:28All right.
00:19:30Up in a balloon,
00:19:32boys.
00:19:34Up in a balloon.
00:19:36All around the little stars.
00:19:40This is blooming hot work,
00:19:42you know.
00:19:44Just pass me that bottle, will you?
00:19:46Pass it.
00:19:58Mind if I sit here?
00:20:02Are you always so polite when you rob a girl?
00:20:04You know I couldn't let the captain down.
00:20:06Of course not.
00:20:08He's such a great man.
00:20:10Plotting to steal a ship and cargo
00:20:12and dragging you into it.
00:20:14Why do you love him?
00:20:16He's nothing but a common thief.
00:20:18Is that all you make of him?
00:20:20Poor devil's trying to get back on his feet again.
00:20:22It's his last chance.
00:20:24I'm going to help him to it.
00:20:26At my expense?
00:20:28Yes, or anybody else's.
00:20:30Including your own.
00:20:32Well, he's not worth it.
00:20:34What do you know about it?
00:20:36All I want to know.
00:20:38Well, I'm banking on him.
00:20:40I've got to bank on him.
00:20:52Hi, mister.
00:20:54A little celebration.
00:20:58Whiskey is life, my love.
00:21:00Whiskey drove me oh!
00:21:02Whiskey killed my poor old dad.
00:21:04Whiskey drove my mother mad.
00:21:06Whiskey is life, my love.
00:21:08Whiskey drove my poor old dad.
00:21:10Whiskey drove my mother mad.
00:21:12With plenty of marmalade.
00:21:14Whiskey is life, my love.
00:21:16Whiskey...
00:21:20With plenty of bottled out time.
00:21:22a bottle of that. So good for us.
00:21:52You know what I was? I was just a clerk. A common clerk as you might say. There's more
00:22:18to me than meets the eye. Beyond years. Talent. Why you try to feed me? Poison? What is this
00:22:45slop? Who gets the food on this ship? To me? You know, Captain, that's just what I've been
00:22:51suspecting all along. What are you doing here, mister? You should be in the wheel. I've been
00:23:01at it for 48 hours. I turned it over to one of the Kanakas. Oh, I beg your pardon. I won't
00:23:10eat this slop. Take it away. Does that drunken beast expect the ship to sail herself? Steady.
00:23:16She practically does, doesn't she? Wish I knew how far off course we were. I'll show you
00:23:24what to do with slop. Out the porthole with it. Playful tonight, aren't they? They won't
00:23:34do. They can't waste food like that. They've been wasting it for 12 days. Why do you stick
00:23:39with them? I wonder myself. If you'd only stick by me. The Kanakas like you. They'd
00:23:45follow you. They're good boys. You could take over the ship. We could head for Sydney. No
00:23:52girls, sorry. I've only my share in the ship, but I'll give it to you. Sounds like bribery.
00:24:03No thanks. You are tired. Let me get you some wine. No. I'm not breaking into cargo. You're
00:24:29proud, aren't you? Of being so frightfully decent. Quite the gentleman. Different from
00:24:35that horrible cop. Better than that drunken captain. Oh, you make me sick. You're the
00:24:41worst of the lot. They never knew any better, but you had something, and you got against
00:24:46it. You're worse than they are. What happened to Chester that's here? My father's things.
00:24:57Captain told me to pick them away. Where'd you put it? There's some papers on them. In
00:25:02after hold mission.
00:25:33I'd like to have a word with you, miss. What do you want? I urge you to tell him off his
00:25:42arm. Lucky little thing you are. Thanks. Now you know where he's standing. Now me, miss,
00:25:48our arm could be reasoned with.
00:26:02You go. Stewart got missed. What? Down home. Here, take the wheel.
00:26:32Hey! Go to Slyder and get the crew. Get the pump worker. Spade! Spade, where are you? Answer
00:26:52me! Spade! Get that hose fixed up, hurry! What happened? It wouldn't have happened if
00:27:07you hadn't have been drunk, face it now! Get that hose fixed out of the way! Get going!
00:27:32Spade, where are you? Answer me!
00:27:58My daughter opened up a path! I'm coming through! I hear you, Harry! Come through if you can!
00:28:28Spade! Hang on! Here, I'll take her. How did this start? He went for me, did I? Hadn't
00:28:52further, then, been in the same benign. We've got to keep it from the other hose! The cargo's
00:28:59in there!
00:29:26How is she? She'll be all right. We got the fire out. Most of the stores are gone. Yeah?
00:29:38You were right. If I hadn't been drunk, what's the use? I'm sober now, and I'll stay sober,
00:29:48I swear it. You'll be sorry if you let me down. I won't, son.
00:30:18It's funny, no, Fiz?
00:30:41We've been cheated! Captain, come down here, come around in here! Captain! Hey, someone's
00:30:53been and gone and cheated us! They put water in here! What do you mean you're drunk and
00:30:58What do I mean? I mean what I say. Taste it for yourself. It's water, and not salt water,
00:31:09either. What'd I tell you? Where'd you get it? Well, I got it out of that case. Water
00:31:21it is. What's that mean? We'll see what it means. Another Fiz in a boatload. Blimey,
00:31:38ain't gonna steal old cargoes, bring more. We had it coming to us. You know what I think?
00:31:50This Captain Wishart was a crook. Hey, Captain, come here! What'd you make of this? Here,
00:31:58look, what do you make out of this? Acid. Sulfuric, probably. Sulfuric? That's the stuff
00:32:06what burns a bloke. Yeah, that's just what it is. Enough of that stuff to burn an old
00:32:16right through the bottom of this blooming ochre. Yeah, that's just what there's enough
00:32:21to do, and he know it. Who, him? No, Wishart. Captain Wishart. You don't mean that dear
00:32:27noble Captain had it in his mind, do you? Only he died first. And this was our chance,
00:32:36our big chance. Our fresh start. Haven't you done enough damage? Do you have to wreck the
00:32:45cargo, too? We ain't exactly having much of my go on, Doc. You see that? Water. What?
00:32:58The whole cargo's water. It's champagne. It's water. How much do you know about this
00:33:04business? Now, wait a minute. What business? A cargo like this, it means only one thing,
00:33:10cheating the insurance company. How do you do that? You sink the ship. And who does that?
00:33:16The captain. Sink the ship? Here, take a look. Acid. Burning acid. If it wasn't to sink
00:33:25the ship, what did your father have it on board for? That's not true. He didn't. He'd
00:33:30never. No, no, he never. He was a bit of old Rod, he was, wasn't he? We ain't picked
00:33:35to lick his blooming boots, are we? It's your trick at the wheel, isn't it? You gotta
00:33:42believe your own eyes, my girl. Maybe now you won't throw any more stones at us. The
00:33:53joke's on us, you know. You really ought to laugh. Big joke, isn't it? To find out your
00:34:00own father. But you didn't know. I should have. He was so dead set against my coming
00:34:06with him. Then why did you? Oh, he was so lonely after my mother died. I thought if
00:34:14I came to see him with him... He shouldn't have let you. He didn't find me till we were
00:34:18three days out. I guess maybe I killed him. You're imagining things. It's all so clear
00:34:28now. He had this job to do, but he couldn't sinker with me aboard, so he put in for one
00:34:35of the islands. Sent me ashore. There was that epidemic. Smallpox. I see. That's how
00:34:45he caught it. It was my fault. No, it wasn't. Diana had this, this fake cargo. But he wouldn't
00:34:54have it if it hadn't been for me. He was trying to make up for his losses. Like your
00:35:03captain, I guess. I wouldn't have cared what he was doing. Don't you see? Of course. Now
00:35:13don't. We're all in the same fix. We'll work something out. Trust me. I don't trust anybody
00:35:23anymore.
00:35:54That brown boy is playing funny dog with me. Can't be. Not in this latitude. Well, I'm
00:36:18blessed. I can't see anything. Can't understand it. Not in this latitude. No record here.
00:36:36Now what's this? New island. Presumably of volcanic origin. If such an island exists,
00:36:43which is doubted by South Sea traders, it would from pirate netters remain unknown.
00:36:48What does that mean? Just one thing. Pearls. Blimey, pearls. Put her about, mister. But
00:36:58captain, it's... Put her about.
00:38:13There's an English flag fly. Missy not know what under him flag. Island bad. You stay
00:38:32in cabin. Nonsense. Him very bad, Missy. I know. You stay in cabin. What do you know?
00:38:41You stay in cabin.
00:39:11Hello, ducky. I think you hurt off some ship. How did she get here? Must be someone around.
00:39:21I wonder why they don't show themselves. Let's get on.
00:39:43Hey, this one's open. Pearl shell. Heaps of pearl shell. Must have been years of gathering.
00:40:01Finders keepers. Two wrecks at least it took to make this collection. Ghost could only talk.
00:40:21You're too impulsive, Noah. The gentleman wasn't meaning any harm to the equipment. To
00:40:27what am I indebted for this pleasure, gentlemen? Well, mister, we lost our stores in a fire.
00:40:33How unfortunate. We're most out of food. I see. So we thought you wouldn't mind letting
00:40:40us lay up here for a while. Oh, for that we don't intrude, governor. Sorry, but the place
00:40:45did look deserted, so we thought that... And so you thought you'd look around. Yeah, that's
00:40:50right, governor. Well, perhaps after all, it's fortunate you came. My own schooner is
00:40:54long overdue. Maybe we can help you out. If it's a cargo, you... Oh, you're open to a
00:40:58charter? Yes, governor. Anything in an honest way, as you might say. My name is Atwater.
00:41:03I take it that you're the captain of this crew? Yes, sir. Lachlan. Oh, Lachlan. You would
00:41:09better stop. There we are. These kept in our ship all right, but on land we're all equal,
00:41:13see? Oh. Yeah, one's as good as the other. Obviously. And your name? My name's Herrick.
00:41:20I'm mate on board. Phi Sigma Beta. Wonderful. You too? Cambridge. Yale. Well, this is a
00:41:29queer place and company for us to meet in, Mr. Herrick. Blimey, they're large brothers.
00:41:34They're better luck. Yes. Well, that was a long way back. Seems you have a regular army
00:41:40here. Small, but efficient. Seven, not all I have left. Left? Did you have an epidemic
00:41:47here? Two years ago. Thirty-four deaths out of forty-one souls on the island. That's a
00:41:52strange way to calculate, is it not, Mr. Herrick? Souls. I never say it, but it strikes me. So
00:41:59that's why it's... Right. That is why the house is empty and the graveyard full. Excuse
00:42:05me being inquisitive, but what's all this? Fancy dress? We find them useful. Are they
00:42:12worth a sight? Well, gentlemen, shall we go? Wait a minute. Just between pals, as you
00:42:16might say. You didn't go to all this trouble just to collect seashells, did you? No. There
00:42:21were pearls. Oh, the island has its fascinations. Well, gentlemen, shall we go? I'd like to
00:42:26stay for a while, if you don't mind. This is all new to me. Well, I'll stay and explain
00:42:31to you, Cap. See, science comes easy to me. Second nature, you might say. Really? Well,
00:42:36so long as you don't touch anything, I'll leave you scientists together. Mr. Herrick,
00:42:41I'm sure you'd like to have a wash. Yes, thanks. Dinner in an hour, gentlemen. Oh, yes. Oh,
00:42:56crikey, yes. Crikey, crikey, crikey, crikey, chillin' at one of the doorys. Is he gone? Yes,
00:43:07these troops are going after him. He's gone, if you ask me. He's taken a fancy to Herrick.
00:43:12Yes, and that ain't helping us any. No. We gotta help ourselves. Listen, Herrick, you
00:43:24were born a gentleman. What on earth are you doing with those two scoundrels? Scoundrels?
00:43:28You think I'm blind? Perhaps it's just as well you're not. Oh, you're warning me? I don't
00:43:34think you need any warning. You're right. No harm can come to me while I'm doing my
00:43:38appointed work. You mean fishing for pearls? I mean fishing for men. I was sent here to
00:43:45give these islanders what they need, the barrow, the sword, and the scourge. From groveling
00:43:50heathen, I have given them something to believe in. A guy? Me. Uncle Leather, the white man
00:44:03there. I saw him. Missy, eat supper. But he might be able to help us. No, Missy, no.
00:44:12He might even bat. You think so? All right, I'll take your word for it. Good, Missy, good.
00:44:20Mm-hmm, nice supper. Where did you get all this food? I thought we were running short.
00:44:24Uncle Ned hide him food for Missy. Uncle Ned, do you think there are any sharks in this
00:44:32lagoon? No sharks, no. I suppose he has got pearls. What about it? He's just a man like
00:44:50us, no matter what he thinks. Now you're talking. He's been robbing the government for years.
00:44:55Yes? Well, he's no better than a blasted criminal. You'll watch yourself at dinner. You know,
00:45:01Captain, you're a bit of all right, you are. I always said so. You live in style like this
00:45:23all the time? I can't afford to let down. Someday, you see, I may go home. After you've
00:45:30finished the lagoon dry, I suppose. Not as I would wish to intrude on your secrets,
00:45:35Governor. Oh, I have done rather well for myself. As a matter of fact, I have a considerable
00:45:39fortune in pearls here in the house. Perhaps you'd like to see them. Oh, no, no, that's
00:45:44not at all necessary. Blimey, you seem to do yourself pretty well, Governor. She's very
00:45:53pretty. Too pretty. That's why I had her married to Joseph here. I've given them all biblical
00:45:59names. It amuses me. And do you think that marriage is a safeguard? A man never knows
00:46:04when he may be inclined to make a fool of himself about women. No, no, no, don't tell them.
00:46:23What's the meaning of this disturbance? David, him steal wine. What? You caught him stealing?
00:46:29I daresay you've been wondering how justice is dispensed here. Now you shall see. David,
00:46:37you know that the All-Seeing and Supreme One would know if you stole. You must pay for
00:46:43your crime. The pit. No, no, Supreme Master, no pit. Go. Your soul will be washed clean.
00:46:53First time here, Mestil. David, my brother, first time. Master All-Supreme, not a bit.
00:46:59You dare to touch me? Go to the pit. What are you going to do with him? Justice must be
00:47:13served. Blonde. But you can't... Don't be a fool, Herrick. I can't afford to temper
00:47:29justice here or I shall be lost. Well, gentlemen, what do you think of my justice? You don't
00:47:50know what justice is, you cold-blooded hypocrite. Don't you realize you just killed a man?
00:47:55Consider the men, them, when they think me a god. I don't know what you've done to bewitch
00:48:01them. But you've played a god so long you believe it yourself. You're nothing but a
00:48:05murderous madman. Herrick, I could kill you for that and no one to answer to. But I never
00:48:13kill in anger, Herrick. And furthermore, to show you how kind I really am, I'll let you
00:48:18have the stars you need. After you beg my pardon, of course. Of course. I'll see you
00:48:25dead fresh. Now, gentlemen, shall we finish our dinner? Right-o, Governor. Come on, what's
00:48:36all the blooming fuss about? He's only a native anyway. Come on. In a minute.
00:48:48He ain't got no sense of justice here. Seems we shall have the pleasure of a little tête-à-tête.
00:49:02I think we're over time for a couple, Governor. Like water, you might say. The old living
00:49:11cargo of water. You know what? We've been in Angola now. We've been in Angola so long,
00:49:18the cargo of spring water. Not really. So? Well, the Captain thought he got up so blooming
00:49:28early in the morning. He'd have to get up a lot earlier than that, Mr. Hewish, to be
00:49:31a match for you. Right you are, Governor. You know what I says to myself? I says, if
00:49:38there's an island, I says, there's pearls. You see? And I says, if there's an island,
00:49:46I says, there's pearls. Right. And I says, if there's pearls, we'll have them.
00:50:08Eric, hold on. Wait. Where are you going? Back to the ship. Take your time. We gotta
00:50:28get out of this place. Listen now, we can't put to sea again without any food. That water's
00:50:32a madman. And we're at his mercy. So we've got a right to protect ourselves, haven't we?
00:50:37What are you driving at? Stand by me, son. He's not fit to live. Murder? It's him or
00:50:44us. There's no other way. Well, you can't do it. Just back me up. No. All right. I'll
00:50:50do it alone. No, you won't. Get back to the ship. No? Better you go and warn him, eh?
00:50:59So he can kill me like he did that brown fella. Go ahead. You know I can't do that. Well,
00:51:03then, you're not going. What's she doing here? Just a minute, miss. You can't stop me. Where
00:51:19are you going? To the man who runs this place. You can't. He's insane. Oh, of course you'd
00:51:23say that. You better get back on the schooner. I've had enough of you. You can't go to him.
00:51:28Hey. Don't try to stop me. You're no better than the others. You haven't seen that man.
00:51:46You don't know what you're getting into. I'll take that chance. Let go of me. You're not
00:51:51going near him. It's none of your concern. Of course it is. It's always been my concern
00:51:56from the first. Don't you see? Then you will help me with this man. And we'll take the
00:52:10ship back from those two. No. Atwater's a maniac. You don't understand. I do understand.
00:52:17This was just some more of your trickery. You just didn't want me to tell this Atwater
00:52:23about you and your beating friends. Drop that gun and put up your hands. Well, well, well,
00:52:43well. You seem to me to be a very toppity-happeny party, Captain Loughlin. I'm going to return
00:52:49your Mr. Hewish to you. He talks a great deal when he drinks. But I'm quite done with him
00:52:53now. March towards the steps. Well, Captain. Atwater's a fine fellow. I promised to take
00:53:11him with us. We're all going to split the pearl. You did fine. There's your friend. Pick
00:53:20him up. Herein I got no rights. I'll tell you later. Get back to your ship. And if I
00:53:32see either of you on this island again, you won't leave it alive. Mr. Atwater? Yes? Mr.
00:53:52Atwater, I think we should all know the sea words. How do you know? I don't know what
00:53:56they told you, but if you could possibly help us, we need food. I'm sure that could be arranged.
00:54:01Now, if you'll accept my hospitality, we'll go and find you some dry clothes, yes? Thank
00:54:06you. Atwater? Yes, Mr. Herrick? I'm sorry I lost my temper. I came back to beg your
00:54:17pardon. Did you forget what I said? But of course, my dear fellow. Shall we go in? Though
00:54:27you can't imagine, Miss Wishart, what a pleasure it's been for me to have you as my guest tonight.
00:54:31I'm the one who is grateful. Mr. Atwater, about the store. You all let us have it. In the
00:54:37morning, we'll arrange things. And now, Miss Wishart's tired. Bathsheba, show Miss Wishart
00:54:44to the guest room. Joseph will take care of the gentlemen. Good night, Mr. Atwater. Thank
00:54:49you. Atwater. In the morning, Mr. Herrick. In the morning.
00:54:57Bed, ready. Joseph? Yes, Tapina? What makes you think Atwater is supreme master, a god?
00:55:18Tapina, Atwater, supreme, all is strong. No, Joseph, he's a man just like me, like you.
00:55:24Him, a god, all supreme. But why? What makes you say that? Big sickness come, many of my
00:55:31brothers die. Tapina, him, keep God water. Us drink God water, we live. Who no drink
00:55:38God water, them die. Oh, the plague. But Joseph, that was just medicine he gave you. No, no,
00:55:45God water, him supreme, God. You prefer sleeping on steps to a bed, Mr. Herrick? Well, I thought
00:56:10I ought to, uh, well, that is Atwater, my... Oh, don't be silly. He's a perfect gentleman.
00:56:16Tapina, Atwater say you come. Breakfast. We don't want to presume too much on your
00:56:26hospitality, Mr. Atwater, so if we could have the food now, then we... Oh, quite. I've
00:56:30given my people orders to help you with it. Thanks. Miss Wishart, of course, will stay
00:56:38as my guest. Mr. Atwater. He's joking. I never joke, Herrick. It's rather lonely here
00:56:48sometimes, even for a god. I should be so grateful for Miss Wishart's company. And if
00:56:54she stays, you'll get your stores. And if we refuse? I give you till noon to make your
00:57:03decision. Meanwhile, you're on your own. I have duties to attend to. Oh, by the way,
00:57:09you can't get off the island, you know. I've instructed my subjects. What's wrong with
00:57:29you? Look at me. I ain't grumpy. I'm as cheerful as a canary bird, I am. You'll be cheerful
00:57:36if you get some of that acid on your skin. Not on my skin, old boy. How do you think
00:57:42you're going to get close enough to him? It's easy, see? Flank a trip, see? International
00:57:47law. He'll respect that, he will. He's just a gent. He'll shoot us down like dogs. Ah,
00:57:53nay, well, as far as I'm concerned, he won't. I'll go first, see? Carrying the baby in
00:57:59my arms, he'll pray to me, see? Then I'll piss off for him. I don't like it. Don't you?
00:58:04I do. He's had his locks out of us, now we're going to have our locks out of him. There
00:58:13it is, that's the ticket. That'll burn to the bone, that, will you see it smoke on him like
00:58:19fire, then we'll have his pearl here. Now careful, it'll burn you. Only when they are
00:58:28full, see, I don't want it to splash all over me when I crack open the neck of the bottle.
00:58:41Now let me get within ten feet of him and I'll trouble you for Mr. Antelope.
00:58:50I'd kill him before I'd leave you here. If we could get to the beach, we could swim for it.
00:58:57Not much chance of that.
00:59:10Sabina! Sabina!
00:59:13Boat coming!
00:59:19Boat coming!
00:59:50Boat coming!
00:59:55Now steady on, now none of your tricks. Present, see? You're a tapina fella.
01:00:00Why?
01:00:01Drink him.
01:00:07Can't you see our intentions are strictly honorable?
01:00:09All right, here you come.
01:00:20Come here.
01:00:39He'll come to in a while.
01:00:41Halt. Halt there. Move over by that figurehead lumplet and wait. You may come on alone, Mr.
01:00:55Hughes. Now, now Bordeaux, from that distance you can tell me whatever you have to tell.
01:01:03How do you do, sir?
01:01:05Mr. Adamwood, sir, I think I know a gentleman, I see one, and I have no hesitation in saying
01:01:11that thou I think you are the genuine article.
01:01:14So I throw myself on your mercy. Fate has declared against us, so we bow the head.
01:01:21Is that what you came to tell me?
01:01:23Now don't get relayed. Now I come here with a proposition, all fair and above board, as you might say.
01:01:28Now look, we need provisions, see? And I take it you need champagne. Now we happen to have
01:01:34two dozen cases of this here elegant champagne in our hold, see? And if you'll swap the
01:01:39provisions for the champagne, you'll win us for golden crown in heaven.
01:01:44It's a very prime vintage, sir.
01:01:47I brought along a bottle just to give you a taste, Governor.
01:01:50Corpus was afraid of broken glass, Governor.
01:01:53You see it? It's foaming and fizzing.
01:01:56Stop there.
01:01:58Stop there!
01:02:13Asshole.
01:02:20Huffman, I give you 60 seconds to make your peace with him.
01:02:25I don't pray.
01:02:32To miss nicely is an art.
01:02:36Wait. I'll take your 60 seconds.
01:02:49Dear God, take care of my three kids, for I have failed them.
01:02:54That will do.
01:03:07You've paid off, Herrick. Now we're even.
01:03:20I'm still one up on you, son.
01:03:28Stop right there. My men will kill you. I'll give you anything you want. I'll give you my pearls.
01:03:32Don't kill me.
01:03:34No, I'll shoot.
01:03:36Shoot him, Noah.
01:03:37Wait.
01:03:38Is this your gun?
01:03:40Yes, it is.
01:03:42I'll kill you.
01:03:44I'll kill you.
01:03:46I'll kill you.
01:03:47Wait.
01:03:48Is this your God, this frightened thing here?
01:03:51If he is, why don't you ask him to stop this next bullet from killing him if he's a God?
01:03:55Shoot, Noah. Shoot.
01:03:56Don't listen to him, Noah. Shoot.
01:03:58Noah.
01:04:01You're no God.
01:04:04You're like other men.
01:04:06You get shot. You're afraid.
01:04:10You killed my brother, David.
01:04:12No, Joseph, no. I'll give you anything you want. I'll give you your freedom.
01:04:15Joseph, no, don't.
01:04:18Shoot him.
01:04:19Shoot him.
01:04:27Fire in the hole.
01:04:28Fire in the hole. He's dead.
01:04:30Fire in the hole.
01:04:34Man, he's gone. He's gone.
01:04:36They're going wild. They've burned the place down.
01:04:38We better get off the island before they turn on us.
01:04:40Yeah, let's go.
01:04:42Come back.
01:04:43Fire in the hole. Come back.
01:04:45Fire in the hole.
01:04:47Hey!
01:04:54Sabina! Sabina!
01:04:56Don't shoot Joseph's friend.
01:04:57What do you want?
01:04:58Take him away, Joseph, and wife, pretty quick.
01:05:00We'll take it, Joseph, but we need provisions.
01:05:02Miquette, Miquette, you take along Joseph and wife.
01:05:05Yes.
01:05:05Of course.
01:05:18It's the old story, a girl needing too much.
01:05:21I gambled and lost more than I could pay.
01:05:24I'll pay it all back someday.
01:05:28Of course you will.
01:05:48For you, Sabina,
01:05:50or take us away from my island.
