Madagascar.

For centuries the bloodiest cockpit of all the seas.

Where the infamous Brotherhood of the damned.

The weight of the plunder.

The treasure laden galleons from India and Cathay.

Then returned drunk with slaughter for their pirate stronghold of last hope.

Most ruthless of all was Captain William Kidd.

He encountered the great London galleon, the 12 Apostles, commanded by Admiral Lord

Blaine, and approaching unsuspected in the guise of a peaceful merchantman.

By a sudden touch of a salad bowl, he was just turned to a burning hulk.

When night fell, the 12 Apostles was only a blazing

funeral pyre on the surface of a Madagascar lagoon.

Stop me!

There's a pretty side.

Reproduce during the fire.

Reaches the magazine.

Put it all.

Lots of stout seamen among them.

And with us a long time we can.

None of us live forever, Mr. Boyle.

Dead men don't talk man your own.

We got this job to build before high tide.

There and dig past the tide.

Catch his head or save the king's hangman.

Some rope.

Hell, yeah.

Deep enough to bury him at it.

Give us a happy

all ready, captain.

And she goes.

What are you waiting for, little captain?

That just been in cabin the longest time.

And we all thought is how it wouldn't do no harm to open up that chest,

make sure that what was in it, then, isn't it? Now?

I suppose you remember what was in it.

I remember an emerald necklace that came off the Portuguese ship of anger

and all those pearls that we took from the big ship, the Virgin Queen.

I remember a diamond medallion we got from that Moorish canyon of Madagascar.

And could we ever forget that silver casket with the arms of Lord

Blaine that you claimed yourself after the taking of the 12 apostles, sir,

your necklace stretched as long as your memory.

One of these days.

And. Satisfied.

Gallows meat.

Put them back.

Long away.

No matter.

The laminate. Cat and mouse. You forgot.

What are you.

What now? We've got half an hour of all the tide trap.

That just may be, sir.

We're all equal in this, I take it. Equal shares.

Yes, well, I key then what you put back in your belt that goes down with a chest.

Thus we starts all clear.

No favors.

Some of us don't get back.

It'll be that much easier. Open for them has done.

Question me on it again, would you?

I'll rip you from Belgian Chine.

Always such

callous rascals that we leave a dead comrade

without commending his soul to his new master.

Here lieth

one who, through treachery and avarice,

would have placed in jeopardy the lives of honest men.

And here may he live forever.

And the sands of Madagascar.

Rest in peace.

It's time to be out of that.

It's time to be away.

From.

If a gentleman is a gentleman, he's a gentleman.

That's all there is to it, sir.

I want a native gentleman, but I need polish.

My good man, if I'm to improve myself.

Gentleman employs

the terminology, my good men, only when addressing lower servants.

Or is inferior, sir.

You see, that's why I need you.

My upbringing,

gentlemen. Never such as tea, sir.

Many a man's social career has been ruined by lesson.

You seem to know your business.

I want the best man and I can pay for it.

Hundred quid a yet

an infallible mark of the person of quality is his reluctance

to pay his domestics high wages that say so many

an idiosyncrasy of good breeding, sir.

£60 here,

then you realize I've never been on board a ship before, sir.

I don't let that frighten you to the contrary.

In fact, since I was a nipper, I've had rather an adventurous inclination

toward life on the bound in Maine, which had been quite educational. Sir.

You learn a lot, no doubt.

Is it a bargain, then?

But it was.

I had my hand on it.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Then it is your proposal,

my lord Belmont, the Captain Kidd

sailed to meet our ambassador Lord forthwith and give him a safe

conveyance with a parrot. What is of Madagascar?

May I please, Your Majesty? Yes.

That needs a bold and adventurous man.

Bring in this, Captain Kidd. Why?

We take the measure of him.

And William Kidd.

Your Royal Majesty

and I will, Lord.

Belmont.

Is this your roaring killer of Spanish buccaneers?

Me. Me, lad, I am only a peaceful ship master.

Who must you trade with other ships without inquiring too closely

about that business.

And it was so.

I fell into the hands of the 12 apostles, a king ship

turned pirate in Madagascar waters.

I have never been in Madagascar. What is your Grace?

It was off the southern tip of Africa. What?

I had gone to trade in elephants teeth.

Who commanded her?

One of your admirals, your Majesty.

You name of Lord Blaine?

He did.

Had pirate been sufficiently lad

to put fear in honest traders like myself.

And if you are successful in

this voyage, captain, what reward do you expect made?

Please, Your Majesty, having forfeited me to him

that I was supposed to strike me to a pirate, I want no reward

but to regain it in the service of Your Majesty.

Unless it be.

Or is it to that Lord Blaine's

lands are restricted and his titles forfeit?

Yes, all.

All I ask is that if I lay this

renegade nobleman by the heels.

Is that you honor the humble self with his castle

and his lands.

Is that all you want, Captain Kidd?

Not a pardon more, Your Majesty, whom the fellow treats of a title so lightly.

He must be bursting with noble blood, though I confess he keeps it well hidden.

I say,

you can no more judge of a man by his appearance, than you can judge

the extent of a nobleman's brains by the expansiveness of his wit.

Am I to suppose

that the captain of the king's God would deign to fence

with me?

Come, captain.

Is your courage less than your wit nicer?

I know nothing of fence.

You must come at me quickly, as though you'd kill me.

Very well, then.

I ask pardon, sir.

I have a hot head.

When roused, I only meant to demonstrate, and to good purpose.

Captain.

Your Majesty is satisfied with the captain of our choosing.

I can think of none better.

I thank you, sir.

And now, captain,

the main mission of your cruise will be to meet a great ship,

a merchant, which is sailing from India with vast treasures

and to give us safe conduct in my name,

past the pirate waters of Madagascar.

But, Your Majesty, will her commander accept my letter of sufficient authority

to. You? Shall have a letter to what?

Ambassador Lord Portsmouth was returning home.

But he is to accept

your protection and to submit to all matters

pertaining to the safety of the ship and her treasures.

I oh,

and now, sire may crew your crew.

Captain Kidd wishes to recruit a crew from the Pirates, now under capital

sentence in Newgate and the Marshal, sea

a crew of condemned pirates.

I sir

this none would be so loyal, nor quite so desperate

as cutthroats under sentence of death,

if they knew that at the end of the voyage

a royal pardon would be in their pockets.

But I shall hold you accountable for that good conduct between their conduct

and mine, your Majesty, there will be little to choose.

And now, goodbye.

And Godspeed you.

I am but his unworthy sparrow.

And every

few and rather ether bills come from an African slaver.

Adam, don't let that temper get you the lash again.

If I must hang, I'll hang.

But I'll go to the gallows with clean guts, at least.

Hey, you!

What kind of stinking maggots meat is this?

What is it?

There's a dainty crumb. Mercy.

Complaining about the taste of the king's bounty again.

Watch it.

Basie, fight me.

I the king's allowances trumpets a day for food, not muck from the soil.

Is the white chapel making trouble again?

I ain't mercy, I'm asking only what a man's legally entitled to hear.

Smell this.

Delicious.

I don't want anything I can

hear your guv'nor.

What sort of a kingdom is this?

Well, a man's condemned before he's heard and style before they hang him.

Who was that quarrelsome fella? At a mercy.

He was taken in a pirate ship by His Majesty's frigate wasp.

He's always escaping.

So that's why we keep him in chains.

He's got a lacing of tiger's blood in him.

Who isn't exactly a flower.

God knows it.

Oh, forgive me, governor.

These are two of me officers.

Mr. Boyle, governor Landers, Mr.

Lorenzo, governor Landers.

Spanish blood.

A pretty lot of sinners could be done.

Do you think that he's.

Anyone down there knows us?

I hope not, I've no doubt you'll be good enough to tell him what we're here for.

Give heed, you, you vermin.

Here's news to get advantage as the hangman that day.

Oh, to that then, Jack.

Nasty face.

Is that that your mother's turned into an honest woman?

Silence your mutinous dog.

If another man speaks, I'll trace him up by the Thames and play him raw.

Governor,

is that the way to win the love of these unfortunate gentlemen?

Now, then, me bullies, would you rather do the gallows dance and hang in chains.

Till the crows pick your eyes from your rotting skulls?

Oh, would you feel a roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?

I I'm a vessel.

The adventure galley and the king's commissioned a sailor.

And for those who shall a loyal and a stout heart.

That are royal pardon in the offing.

Have I.

Which of you knows the waters off Madagascar?

Are you?

Would you have him unlocked the.

Water.

Unlock him.

Look you.

Then I want men with iron in their blood and stealing their sinews.

And the first up here is the first enlisted governor of your waters already.

Would you be good enough to have them lower the ropes, Lord.

Away!

Own. Oh!

Yeah.

They come back where they land.

Where your hands are

that I'll make you free. Man.

Go on now.

Next.

Month.

Name it a shot.

Need either shout.

Regardless of the fact that I'm your captain,

you will always address a gentleman who serves scum.

I say make your mark.

On board.

Name that of my sister.

Oh, so it's you.

Mercy!

That's a comical handle for a blade of fortune.

Mercy?

It's also something the world needs more violent death.

A philosopher. You speak cultured.

Well, are you by any chance stable boy to a noble house?

Perhaps.

I was also a master gunner to a buccaneer.

You may have heard of Captain Avery,

Avery's master gunner.

We've made him a master, Mr.

Boyle.

And from what I've heard, Avery was a shrewd hand at picking him.

The berths?

Yours for as long as you can handle it.

I can handle it.

Swivel gunner. Long time.

I've offered a guinea for every mess for which your neck.

If you miss while you're on my ship, I come up.

And you can write.

We'll give you a nice bath.

You'll draw a uniform befitting the master gunner on board.

Next man.

Name Bartholomew Blevins.

salamu.

Livings

make him up.

Down below.

Oh. Like it?

Every day.

I don't want any other.

I don't want anything.

No more war.

You know, Vanessa.

Thanks, man.

That's all.

Sir, compliments for.

Oh, me?

I thought you.

Yes, you thought I was dead.

Well.

I can hardly believe my eyes.

I mean, you don't want to believe I.

Come, come, Mr. Pogue, is that kind of.

Is that fair?

As fair as what you did that day.

You abandoned me out of a hammer.

If you please, Mr.

Pope, it is not the time to talk about that.

Oh, it's the time. All right.

Unless you want me to go. No.

In which case your present voyage is over before it's begun.

No, no, no, no. Povey.

Mr. Boyle, would you take over, please?

Mr. Lorenzo, take the deck. Watch.

Come to my cabin.

My heart bleeds

when I think of one of your delicate constitution.

Having to fend for yourself on a coral reef.

Mr. Boat, come off it, captain.

I know why I'm alone. Me?

So there'll be only three a good a share instead of four.

It's true.

A hostile wind did blow us away from your reef.

Between friends, we might have sailed back at exactly what you would have done, Mr.

Povey.

So no more of your sentimental nonsense.

Please.

Know that we are for again.

What then?

We're not for

with two.

Boylan.

Lorenzo.

Joe loves

20,000 pounds.

A piece in their hands would only be spent in sinful ways.

And you propose to remove them from the path of temptation?

Oh, a knife in the dark.

I'm not a violent man, Mr.

Povey, I detest violence.

People have such an awkward habit of getting in my way.

I am an ambitious man, Mr.

Povey.

An ambitious man, if he be bold enough, can carve himself a kingdom.

I let to be a lord, my friend.

And that for a commoner like myself takes a deal of money.

And that's why that could be too less to share

before we raise old England game.

You cold got sha?

Flatterer.

Oh, get your back a game, Mr.

Povey.

You've no idea how gratifying it is to have a congenial soul

to confide in.

Thank you.

Oh, there's something I want to tell you.

I have left with a clemency letter containing an exact and complete

account of certain previous happenings, only to be opened in case.

Just in case, of course,

you should happen to return to England without me.

Of course, my dear fellow,

very sensible of you.

Now I know you will have a happy voyage.

I shall too.

I look up in the corners.

We are two of the luckiest man alive.

Just think.

We are sailing from Madagascar waters.

Don't pick up the stranger where we left off.

Every office on board has a servant.

I request the captain assign you to me.

Then we can be together.

Yes. I've spent a good many years of my life.

See that I do.

But I doubt if any woman minds.

Is there some sort?

Even an opinion of the realm?

But myself.

Now milady will join me in.

And then you, my lady sir, not me, lady flask. Me.

Shadwell, there's one gentleman creep up on another without a cough

or a spit or something to warn him.

I'm not a gentleman, sir.

I'm a gentleman's gentleman.

Give you back the hat.

I suppose you've tried everything.

There's grease.

Prenatal influence.

Perhaps.

Dinner says

thank you, Shadwell.

Pardon, sir.

I'll show you that you play.

What's all this mummery?

You can forget your bilge water manners for the time, Mr.

Boyle. You are now officers on a cruise ship.

So a man must stop while his manners.

Madam.

I know, I know.

And in the king's ship it is customary for the officers to rise.

When the captain enters.

That's better.

Gentlemen, be seated.

Oh! Well, well, well,

what have we here?

Well, I'm.

Of course, but don't press.

Come, Mr.

Murphy, tell us something about yourself.

You already know what I was of consequence. I'm

well under every.

I was taken by kingship and brought to London.

I was tried for a parrot and condemned.

You were innocent. Of course.

No, sir.

I was guilty.

You speak above your station.

How came you go on the account?

Call it the love of adventure.

Cost in love, a scandal and perhaps the mixing of all three.

And you've seen something of the world.

Enough.

Say to dislike what I've seen.

And to know that small old. The.

Perhaps you prefer the next world, Mr.

Mercy.

You were close enough to it when you were in the condemned

hold of Newgate.

But I'm keeping you from your dinner.

I don't know.

Oh. oh,

And now, gentlemen,

a toast to the King.

And since proposing it is the privilege of the youngest present,

the honor falls to Mr.

Bessie.

Mr. Mercer, we are waiting.

No. So, since I have little love for the king.

Oh, now that proposes health, I'll drink it.

Nevertheless, you are on a kingship.

Kingship of the devils.

It's all the same to me.

So I owe him nothing.

You owe him your neck, Mr. Mercy.

If it were not for his bounty, you'd be dancing daintily on air at Wapping.

I owe my reprieve to you, captain.

So do you. I'll drink, and gladly.

But not to. William.

You stand up and drink to his Majesty's health as I King's office.

I should all by fire and flame.

I'll have you shipped back to new. Been on the first vessel we speak.

Gentlemen.

The king.

They can't go about him.

That's one reason.

It's curious.

Do you suppose His Majesty put him on board to spy us out?

We found him chained to a pillar.

A new Newgate

wouldn't be too hard for the king to plant him there.

Yes, but why would he speak so openly against the king?

Your wits. An even taller than usual, Mr.

Lorenzo, have you never heard of the serpent

that takes the color of its background?

The better to strike

Shadwell?

Yes. I can.

You have a knowledge of highborn people and those of the called shadow.

What? Have you ever seen Mr. Mercy before?

Not before this voyage.

He's as high of spirit as a gentleman of quality.

I'm like you.

Would you find out who he is, where he comes from?

As you wish. Thank you. Though.

Oh. Foggy night.

Good evening. Shadwell.

Excuse me, sir, but you seafaring men

always seem to be looking at something that I never can see.

You're looking for something just over the horizon.

You know, I recognized you for gentlemen the moment I saw you.

What are you doing at sea?

The captain employed me to make him

socially acceptable. Sir.

I'm afraid we are too far out for me to swim back

if I can be of service to use it.

Did the captain send you here?

Yes. Why?

He wants to know who or what you are.

Ought.

Who do they think I am?

Most of this tide placed on board by His Majesty.

They seemed uneasy to him.

This,

This Captain Kidd.

How long have you known him? Have you sail with him before?

Oh, knows.

All I know is he's,

Well, among other things,

a merchant captain spy.

That's strange.

Why should they be afraid to be spied on?

Good night sir.

Good night sir.

Who is he?

Where is he from? He's a nobody, sir.

He was employed by persons of quality.

But he learned his speech in his manners.

It's a matter of judgment.

If you fire on the uproar, the shot will go ablaze.

Yea, but if you wait for the down roll.

The enemy is coming up.

Now watch.

Get ready.

Oh! Oh!

For these men.

Then you do as well with a 70 for throwing grape and canister at you.

I've done it, sir.

Be reload and secure and pick up your practice on the lob.

And quite a swivel gun, Mr. Massey.

You sailed with Avery.

You must know they brought us fairly here.

If we needed to carry them, take on stores.

Where would you recommend poverty?

Basically, we draw too much water.

You remember Camden?

Can't remember what I know.

The Spanish man.

These are Madagascar waters.

Poverty Bay. I say.

Thank you, Mr. Madison. Come along.

Let's go.

I'm doing a.

Your presence is becoming increasingly irks.

You will.

Now let's get down

to the business of this voyage.

I made a chart to boil.

The coffee down.

I have been thinking every day and every night.

What about that?

The arrow that we buried in the cave.

What good is it there? Let's get it and get it back.

Where are we going to spend it?

That stays where it is for a while. Why?

We've got a better prize sailing right into our pockets. Now,

here's our present position

is Madagascar is Calicut.

In June, the great galleon, the cuy, the merchant sails.

Calicut to England.

We should meet, about here.

She's stuffed from keel to gunners with treasure to the value of half

1 million pounds.

and we ought to give her safe passage

through the pirate seas

by, safe passage, you mean where to take her, captain?

No, no, no, don't be greedy, Mr. Poe.

They are granted, most of what's in there may find its way into our pockets.

But let's be fair.

The king.

Poor gentlemen will expect something.

But however we do it, it must be done.

Eagle like and on his stick.

Two ways you're familiar with.

Well, straddle bill and I can be as honest as any man if I have the incentive.

Oh, yes. May Lord blame

Lord blind.

His name is not to be mentioned among us, Mr.

Povey. He's dead.

So's his crew and so's ours.

And there's none outside this cabin that knows what they came of them.

And if you all enjoy living,

you will remember that well,

here's to our meeting with the Queen's

a merchant, with a merchant, and general merchant.

let's, listen for your love.

Indigo. And.

Winn.

Fresh from West. Northwest side.

Quest. Noise by night. Dog. But clear.

Very well.

Mr. Mercy.

Norris.

Peace.

Now he's facing.

The door with Mr.

Bow and the hangman.

And. No.

Oh, no!

He's dead.

I find the man that's responsible for this.

I'll hang him.

Fish the yard and reset it.

What do you suppose happened?

Someone's been tampering with these lines.

We all gather

together to bid farewell to a gallant seaman

and a stout comrade.

Here was a man.

Shipmates whose heart the flinty mountains could not match.

Who always took better than he gave.

Whose benevolence was such the orphan's might.

And the rich man's gold alike found refuge in his pocket.

A jealous providence has removed him from us,

and I esteem it a privilege to commit his body to the deep.

We shall all mourn him.

I we shall mourn him.

But take comfort, my friends.

We shall never see his like again.

Rest in peace.

Pop him over.

The day, Mr.

Mercy, a great pity, but the ship's work must go on.

Move your gear into poor Mr.

Boyle's cabin.

You will take his place as master, as master?

I see

I shed.

Don't tell me.

After all this time at sea, I in revolt is not from the movement of the vessel.

Was occasioned by the company idea

that matters.

I say nothing of sir,

but I'm a such a man.

And when I find a common ship master has the presumption to copy himself

the coat of arms of one of our best all sorts of families.

Can you wonder if I'm physically upset?

Whose crest was he copying?

Credited or not, sir? The plane crashed.

What are you saying?

Thank you sir, of course is honoring his desk.

Pardon me sir, I must join.

The captain is inspecting.

Cost me with Mr.

Lorenzo.

Well, Mr.

Massey.

Do your new duties include rubbing my desk?

Shoot me, captain, and your head goes with it.

I'm here with the king's orders.

So he did want you on board.

Do you think he would let a man sail

with a crew of Newgate cutthroats and not keep tabs on him?

And with good reason, if anything, of a reeked of piracy, this does.

And murder, captain

Boyle's death was no accident.

By the way.

what ship was sunk here?

The 12 apostles.

Why the 12 apostles, Mr.

Massey?

Has Blaine's ring.

His name is on it. He commanded the 12 apostles.

That'll make interesting telling in London when we get back.

Captain, if you get back when I get back.

For if I don't.

On the other hand.

On the other hand. What?

Since the man doesn't exactly grow rich in the king's pay.

crooked rogue.

So you have your price.

How much? An equal share.

And what's buried here? Share that with you.

I'll be hanged if I do.

You'll be hanged if you don't have all the

I key.

Blackguard.

And if you do share Mr.

King's informer, what guarantee is that?

That you won't still turn evidence for the Crown?

If I go in with you, I am equally guilty.

And if we are caught, we hang together.

But I can keep you from being caught.

What more could you ask?

You know, Mr.

Mercy, I've wondered sometimes if ever I'd meet

a more unscrupulous blackguard than myself,

and I have.

Well, let's be sensible about this.

Who knows?

We might be useful to each other one day,

in one way or another.

To forgotten something wearing.

So I have.

Listening carefully.

Because I want you to tell in London if anything happens to me.

Kidd caught me in his cabin robbing his desk.

I lied to him. Told him I was a king's informer.

Good. Yes, but he didn't believe me. Nothing. Wait.

He just pretended to.

Oh. Why didn't you shoot him?

Then? He will give us no more trouble.

That's a pleasure. I'm reserving for later.

He proves the latter, I think.

Him King's men.

Oh, no.

He betrayed an uncommon interest in the 12 apostles.

I didn't like him. Still around seven.

I mean to find out why. Why?

You could have charged him with robbery and turn him over the yardarm.

All legal and shipshape.

I would have been rid of him once and for all.

Let's not be impetuous, Mr. Poliakoff.

Leave us as he swims.

Would be

rather amusing to find out what he does.

Do you rest easy.

Leave.

Must have mercy on me. You.

Will.

Stay at home.

Oh. Have the boat and pipe to Curtis.

Pipe to put up.

The queendom much?

And sure enough.

And you make her out.

Captain Russell, who?

She hasn't

the cut of a buccaneer, your Excellency.

Much too tidy for that.

More like the kingship that she has.

The lines of a merchantman.

Have the longboat ready and, man,

don't put him up.

Stand by to put a shot across her bows.

Mr. mercy, I, sir.

Number four gun crews, stand by for action.

She's flying the English colors.

Perhaps she's. Our escort ship.

Was about here. We were to meet, wasn't it?

We make it certain just the same.

It's a hit.

You see that? All hands are at the station.

Very good. Sir.

Ready?

Fire!

Place Mr.

Massey on top. It.

I discovered this garbage is sir.

You will come across.

This is the Longboat Key.

Convey my compliments to all officers who will dress

as befitting a kingship. I.

Captain William Kidd of His Majesty's privateer.

Adventure. At your service, sir.

Mr. Povey.

miss. Surgeon.

Mr. mercy, me, master.

Mr. Lorenzo, my navigator.

Welcome aboard, gentlemen, I'm Captain Russell,

I'm Lord postman, His Majesty's ambassador to the court of the ground.

Mock up your obedience, sir.

I've been sent to give you a convoy.

And we'd better make haste with our business.

These are unhealthy waters for ships to be hoped to.

As I discovered a day or so ago.

You mean you cited some of the Pirate Brotherhood?

More than that, sir, we beat up two of them.

Hey, Brown color for that of last hope.

Some kind of leaks out of here.

Oh, stuff down there for God.

Could you spare us some powder and ball?

We use more than was safe during the action.

Why all that?

You need, sir, and welcome Mr.

Lorenzo here. Could attend to that.

We stay here.

You take Mr. Lorenzo below and see that he gets what he wants.

I said captain of the.

Sense of the master.

He'll take care of all your needs. And?

Wish.

Mr. Lorenzo

and me.

Thank these powder and put it in the long

balls. I.

Gentlemen made on the navy and

Captain Kidd and his

Mr. Mercy.

Haven't we met before?

I think not when me.

You remind me of someone I've seen.

I think it impossible that we could have ever met.

That.

How do we proceed now, captain?

Well, I'm instructed to give you a protection past Madagascar,

and you'll be safe as long as we sail in company.

But Avery will be a wolf at your heels.

And if we are separated in darkness.

Oh, storm.

And, what would you advise then, sir?

Well,

I suppose we could take Lord Paul's

with lady and, board the adventure to Madagascar instead.

And then if we are separated and this vessel should be taken.

What about the treasure on board?

One silver chest alone.

A present to His Majesty from the Grand Mogo contains

precious gems valued at more than 1 million pounds.

May I suggest, Your Excellency now?

Why not transfer the treasure chest with yourself and Lady Anne on board

the adventure? And to. We are out of danger.

She's a kingship that is a great responsibility.

And although my instructions are that you are to trust me

in all matters, I don't know if I could go so far as.

What else can we do?

Three of them against this will even two, sir.

We'd be hopeless. It's the wisest course.

I defer to Your Excellency.

Now, could we inspect the chests?

We could have them slung into our boats along with the gear of Lord Paul's

with them, lady. And I said to me. Come this up.

No trouble at all.

Hoist away!

Mr. Hervey,

I send for the manifest, captain.

You may check it against the contents of this chest.

And give me your receipt, if you will.

Gladly, gladly. Oh, there you are, Mr.

Renzo, have you, completed your business?

Almost.

Your people have been most kind to be done, Russell.

There is only one detail left.

It will not take a minute.

Finished up.

Then we must be gone within the hour.

Yes. Copy. Done.

Oh, manifest.

Would you attend to that, Mr. Perry?

Thank you very much, captain.

Mr. Lorenzo, you've seen a lovely lady before.

This.

A tribute to your beauty, ma'am.

did you finish your business below?

Yes, captain.

Then we'd better be underway.

Mr. Mercy, you will see Lord Paul's with the lady and the boat.

I see.

You walking?

They plan for the long run.

You will look after the lounging.

Mr. Lorenzo.

I apologize, but I did try poor accommodations.

But we've had a chat. Well, we'll see the show made comfortable.

It's a pleasure to have Your Ladyship aboard.

If you'll follow.

Why hasn't it happened?

She's blown up.

Someone must have touched over the magazine.

Send out your boats at one son.

You can't ask me to risk men there.

That show.

Let me go,

captain. No!

No. Excuse me.

Milady.

Your father.

May I say sorry? I am.

The captain is requested that you take your meals in the main cabin.

Oh, no.

Shadwell, I can't bear to face those men.

I can't, I quite understand, milady.

But the captain's orders are orders.

Shadwell, you must help me.

There's no one else I can trust.

What can I do, milady?

I'm only a servant.

Oh, where can I turn?

I I'm so confused and frightened. I.

Think of my father and the others

lost back there.

And on the ship,

wherever I go, those horrible staring men had Lorenzo,

who was always standing behind me, beside me.

Last night there was a tapping on the door when I opened it.

There he was there, that evil, smiling face of his

where he might

better belong with those pirates you found a few days ago.

The pirates.

Merlin.

We fought no pirates,

my father said.

Captain Kidd told.

Shad.

Well, what manner of ship is this?

My father was killed

deliberately, I'm sure of it, sir.

That's why I got back to face your captain.

I accuse him.

That is a man on board, milady.

A gentleman whom I know you can trust,

Mr. Mercy.

Yes, milady.

Shadwell, I know I've never seen him before.

No matter how he denies it.

His name is mercy.

Who is he?

All I really know is milady.

He's now a friend of the captain's.

Perhaps if I ask him.

Who shall I call?

Yes, will you please?

Yes, milady.

I am asking you again.

Very nice, my dear.

Be done.

Oh! Fancy manners.

You're not impressed me, Mr. Lorenzo.

When do we divide the gold in London?

Not before. I'm

there. Look, are we done?

I would make a bargain with you. A thug in.

Everybody wants to bargain with me.

You and messy foreign thought.

What do you think I am, a stinking sausage merchant?

What kind of a bargain?

The girl.

All my life

I have dreamed of a beautiful woman like that.

Give me half of my denaro now

and you can split the rest between you, if you will let me have her

fie on him.

He's met with love again.

I want her, and I am going to take her

whether I like it or not.

With all this treasure on board,

the crew is like a barrel of hot gunpowder.

All that is needed is a word in the right ears.

Do you mean look at me.

You're a witness.

He's inciting the crew to mutiny.

I know nothing like that.

Done. I was only joking.

You have a very nasty way of joking, Mr.

Lorenzo.

As for the girl, I have my own plans for her.

They do not include you.

Get out. To.

Who is it?

Adam, listen.

You see, I'm.

Thank you for coming, Mr.

Murcia. I don't names Adam Bloom,

son of Lord black.

I knew it, I know

well, what are you doing on this ship?

My father was killed and accused of piracy.

Few people believe.

Don't blame the king did.

That's why I went to sing and turned pirate three years ago.

That's why I'm on this ship.

I knew that some day I'd come upon the truth

that you have.

It was Captain Kidd who killed your father.

Wasn't.

Adam.

Wonderful.

He did the same thing to my father,

the butcher

taken me three years to track him down.

Three years of degradation.

Now I can cut him away.

I want him, and he knows it.

You mean he knows what you are?

He knows something.

That's why you didn't admit to me who you are.

Why are you avoiding me?

If Kidd knows we shared this, he could kill you with a little compunction.

As he means to kill me if I let him.

What can I do to help?

It must be something.

Forget everything you've seen on this ship.

Play up time. Be friendly.

That way you'll be safe now when you get back to London.

No matter what has happened to me.

Go to the Lords of the Admiralty and the King.

You'll be doing me a great service as well as yourself.

I will add him, I promise.

You're going to have trouble with Lorenzo.

A meeting of the lambs. Exciting!

The tiger is blood is getting too rich for him.

He'd be the better for bleeding.

Things are getting a bit complicated, milord.

The King may accept the elimination of the queen.

The Virgin next.

Maybe even the sudden demise of Lord Bosworth.

But what about the lady who said you had plans for?

Do they include Mr. Povey?

The little dears is safe with me as if she was my daughter.

My passion is power and gold.

Since she suspects nothing, I deliver her to His Majesty,

along with his share of the Queen of merchants goods.

Oh! Weep appropriately over the untimely demise of her.

received the grateful thanks of me.

Sovereign and a peerage is mine, Lord love, if you will.

But that's what ought to have another man.

No devil shall stop me.

Shadwell, Senorita.

Milady, do not be alarmed.

Now that she knows who I am, the kind of a ship

she's on, I think we can count on to keep her here.

You stay here till I come off.

Watch.

Shadwell.

Lose your head.

Least luck's with us tonight.

Whichever either of them would you like to see survive?

Mr. mercy, you did well to protect her.

Well.

You all right, sir?

Yes, I'm all right.

Look at the lady at.

Arms!

Let my medallion.

It's gone.

Has the plane crest on it?

Plane?

Perhaps I can find it.

Please. No.

It must have come off just before Lorenzo went through the port.

Chad will take away the end to a cabin.

Oh, please. Adam, I can't go in there. You must.

And this is serious. It involves you. Remember?

No matter what Trixie tries, you've never seen me before.

And you don't know who I am. Shadwell, I think.

Oh, don't worry about me, Jeanette.

He never could get anything out of me.

And you never will.

It's the only way you'll be safe. Shadwell.

Watch out for you.

What about you, Adam? What would he do?

The same thing he's done with the others.

If he gets a chance.

What? Don't worry.

I at least know what to expect. Go.

Shadwell, if anything does

happen, remember you the stand by lady and see that you get safely to London.

I'll stick my life on it. I know you will.

Be careful, Adam.

Please be careful.

Come.

The lady.

Oh! He's no king's head.

Who is it, then?

Tomorrow he put it into the lagoon for water.

And while the crew's getting it on board, you and me and Mr.

Mercer, he's going to the cave.

You're going to take him in there?

I have a peculiar humor to watch my clever

young friends face when we dig out ship.

Sweet dreams.

Come.

They pass, Mr.

mercy, you haven't got forever.

Who might this be?

But perhaps a man

that has too many questions.

Gently.

Now, Mr. Mercy, you've come on. Something.

So it was the 12 apostles.

They. Captain?

Yes, it was Mr.

Mercy.

You open it up.

Blames.

Blames.

He was a brave seaman, but foolish.

Did you happen to know him, Mr. mercy?

I heard of him.

I thought perhaps you had.

This.

Is yours,

Mr.. I,

traded a ring for it.

One of Avery's men?

Yes.

When I encountered Lord flying at sea,

I did my simple duty as a loyal subject.

A pity he turned pirate and traitor to his king.

Liar!

Was. He's made for the sharks now, Mr.

Appleby, the tide comes in at this place in half an hour.

We've nothing more to fear.

Yeah, sure. I haven't come it. Yeah.

It's a long voyage.

Helpless to poke at anything might happen.

Naturally, her ladyship

is still very distressed in the midst of life.

We are in death, Shadwell.

And though my heart may my heart bleeds.

Confound you, Shadwell.

You drove the thought right out of the head,

and it was an uncommon pretty one, I'm sure of that.

It got all at once to tell us she can't mourn forever.

Nigel, I expect you to take our meals in the main cabin with the rest of us.

Very well.

Well, that

we turned just in time to see him go over the edge.

Such for now.

It never came up.

Well,

here's to him,

wherever it is.

You feeling ill?

Yes, sir.

I'll go to my cabin.

With your permission, if you wish.

It's been quite a trying voyage, what with one little thing and another.

But bear up. You'll soon be home again.

I warned Adam not to come.

No one could have stopped you.

It was cold blooded. Plan delivered.

The same will happen to Her ladyship.

Unless we can.

Read them.

How did you find you on board, sir?

I've come back for lady. Oh, thank you sir.

I've been hanging on the rudder chains and stock waiting for the turn of the watch.

The jolly boat's motor stayed.

I waited alongside.

It's secured right down at this point

where I'd get in it and drift aft under the main cabin.

Well, now, get me some dry clothes.

Where's the captain?

In his own cabin, with Mr.

Purvis on examining the silver chest they brought back on board

my father's chest.

Chadwick Kidd doesn't suspect you.

Tell me the end to get some things together.

And when the coast is clear, you come back for me? Yes, sir.

I, sir,

I felt rather hot by watching the daybreak.

Well, weighing on the morning tide, I thought.

Kidd doesn't suspect Shadwell.

He's staying on board. He'll be evidence for us in London.

Watching the small boat, the water staying.

We're all ashore.

Then we're at home.

Two days journey. Overland is the pirate town of last Hope.

It's the most lawless place on Earth. But I have friends there.

Somehow they'll find us a ship for England.

England?

Now come on.

Get down on the boat!

Goodbye.

The lady climbed aboard. Got.

A scene in England.

I know who's in that book now.

Come on.

Come on.

Where?

Thank you.

May Lord.

Where?

Is the London?

Why? But.

Hold on to me.

Take.

Why? Me.

He's dead as a mackerel.

He's gone through

all right.

I guess I've never met captain.

I'm good. Reckless.

Back to the ship, boy.

If you're thinking what I think

you're thinking, my friend, forget it.

As a little measure of a letter I left in London.

Spoilsport.

Well.

From. I'm.

When.

Captain William Kidd.

Greetings, captain.

What news have you brought me from the Indian seas for your leave, Your Majesty.

Both good and ill, but mostly very good indeed.

I return by way of the American colonies. So?

So I understood

with the main points of your voyage.

I am familiar.

I wonder if you can enlighten me about the affair of the Queen's godchild.

Lady and Dunstan and your ship, master Mr.

Mercy.

Oh, that poor, impetuous fellows here inveigle that badge of innocence

he did into running away with him and catching him red handed in defense.

The very life I was forced to dispatch

him both rest in peace.

Tell me, captain, about the treasure

and the merchant.

Unfortunate, sire.

Most unfortunate.

We ship.

But that chest, when she blew and all souls went heavenward.

Rest in peace to them.

Ditto.

I see

now about the 12 apostles and Lord Blaine.

You encounter any trace naysayer.

I can only hope that the weight of his sins sank both him and the ship.

I see

then how do you explain this?

Whose might that be, your Majesty?

My officers found it on your ship at Plymouth after you left for London.

It bears the Blaine crest, which I believe you are not unfamiliar.

I've always felt that, Mr.

Pope. A message in a very while.

A fellow indeed was hiding something from me

or hiding it in a secret laceration.

You are Kevin, captain.

I hope it has a proper explanation, sire.

Mr. Pope, he was killed three days ago.

Defending it with his dying oath.

He swore it was not his prep. Shadwell.

Mere ballot slip to the board might not have come to my Madagascar cave, captain.

Something dreadful clear about all this.

Isn't that what the allies look?

Nightmare.

A pity you overlooked last hope, captain.

We stood on the headland with my friend Avery and watched you sail by.

May I please, your Majesty, I accuse this man of piracy and murder.

Was ever a gentleman.

So Misfortunate lock him up in

Newgate is to be held for the next session of the Court of Orient.

Time and I that have been tried for his life.

I'm sorry.

You cannot.

Oh, I don't wish to the credit.

I'm for the honor and glory of England.

So he is may bequest to them.

What hunch would I have heard?

And to their sons, hands

down, through the endless corridors of time.

Greed that spawns murder.

Hatred

that corrodes the soul.

Ambition.

The foulest trumpet of all.

Hey, Jack.

Jack ketch, send me that note for sixpence yet.

Save you my name, lads.

You can have it all for nothing.

If you'd only step up here and wear it.

I need it,

can't wait forever.

Captain Kidd is dead, milord Lane.

His account is closed.

Now I want manikin.

I have turned for the injustice.

I wept upon your father.

I'll put you up.

See, Lord, what do you suggest?

We have a fine frigate of 50 guns

commissioned for American waters, sire.

That we thought of naming the lady and

it should be a wedding gift to you from the Crown.

Your loyalty and service to King and country.
