Thank you.

Have you lads seen Danny, any of you?

Look, I asked you a question.

Have you seen Danny?

He was in your boat for sure.

No, we're not seen, darling.

You'd better go ask Captain Barry.

I'll ask him, all right.

To my sister

Elizabeth, our mother's locket.

which I know she will treasure.

And to my brother James, the pick of any sextant in my store to be suitably

engraved.

Signed this day of our Lord, September the 12th, 1880.

But there is a codicil.

Mr. Orniding added this codicil to take into account the Married Women's

Property Act.

The codicil reads...

Having passed over the property in a state known as Telford Grange to my dear

wife, Sarah, under the provisions of the Married Women's Property Act of 1882,

and having made due financial provision for her future by separate covenant, I

now bequeath the department store to my son, Samuel, who shall also enjoy my

other remaining property as if it were his own, but only providing that the

aforementioned department store remains under his management.

and under the joint name of Robert Onedian and son.

Should these conditions cease to be observed, either now or at some future

then all properties revert to my wife, Sarah, for the whole of her natural

Assigned this day of our Lord, 15th of March, 1883.

Cunning, crafty devil. Well, I think that is all for the present.

If you would care to attend me in my office.

Tomorrow, shall we say?

Tomorrow? Mr.

Andrews, that last part was added only three months ago.

He was an astute man.

A fine businessman.

You shall be proud to bear his name.

Good day to you. Good day, sir.

Mr. Andrews, that was your idea.

I beg your pardon?

The coruscant was your idea.

Your brother was worried.

He was proud of the department store. He had ideas.

Big ideas.

So knowing that he wasn't too keen, you tied him hand and foot, eh?

Good day, Mr. O 'Neill.

Well,

get your mother a brandy, will you? She'll probably need it.

Come on, lads. Step lively.

James. Oh, no, not now. Look to Elizabeth.

I think she's taking it a bit hard.

Well, Sarah, that's that, then, eh?

Shut and finished.

The worst part's over now.

But you, perhaps... Oh, lass, it'll do no good mithering over him. He's gone.

Oh, come on, lass, he wouldn't want to see you like this.

Got to pick up the pieces.

Now, you've no money worries. He's left you well provided for. You're secure.

You don't understand, James. Just one little bone. It's as though I killed

Look, it could have happened to anybody. It was an accident.

Lying on the floor there trying to breathe. Stop it, Sam.

You're going to have to look to Samuel. He's the one that will need you now.

Samuel.

Yes.

I never wanted him tied that way.

You'll not need to convince me.

But you'll have to look to him.

There'll be storm clouds there, eh?

I can't... I can't think properly not now.

I woke up this morning and... He wasn't there.

I knew he didn't always see eye to eye, but he was a fair man.

A good man.

I miss him.

Turn your way.

Come by.

Couldn't help it.

You think I wanted it?

I give warning enough.

You heard me.

He was your friend. You could have looked through him, Mr. Batallon, so

blame me. You let him go down.

Him, it could swim like an otter.

You let him drown. You hold your noise, Mr.

You're it with me, Mr. Allen.

You're a mate.

You knew what it was going to be.

What were you paid for?

You can have the money.

I want my friend alive again.

You lost him.

I've lost a ship.

You set that charge to the boiler.

You should have warned me sooner.

Five guineas more.

That's still your tongue.

ask you aboard, sir?

Captain Baines, I presume.

I am, sir.

Well, I have some private business with Mr. O 'Neill. His name is Buxton.

O 'Neill knows me.

You're the representative of the salvage people, not our line of country, sir.

I'll lay a small wager that he and I are doing business within the hour.

I've not met on that, Mr. Buxton.

Well, I thought we'd got rid of each other. Indeed.

All right, then, Clem, thank you.

Well?

Well, Mr. O 'Neill, I think you'd say you were fairly treated over the matter

the Neptune.

I'd say the insurers did what they had to do. Come now, you were happy enough?

Well, what do they want?

They have a problem.

They came to me, mentioned your name.

O 'Neill, there was a favor done.

Well?

It's the Indian cream.

She went down with a cargo of copper sheets, a lot of it.

It's not my line, folks. I'm sorry. Not to lift it.

Just to check it.

Well, the man who bought and insured this cargo is known to my principals.

That's why they're on it so soon.

I assume this is between us two.

Well, he's a businessman.

His name is Lily.

He had a factory making iron pipes.

All sorts.

Five years ago, that was burnt down.

He was a rich man.

Then he was burgled, lost 15 ,000 pounds worth of silver. So he said.

Did they pay you? Of course they did.

And now it's the Indian queen.

Comes in threes.

Trouble.

My principles are not prepared to accept the loss.

Not without checking first.

Well, an overinsured cargo in an overinsured ship. It's been done before.

Will you help me?

Well, let's ask some questions.

Usual percentage of the cargo.

Well, I'll try and keep it as reasonable as possible. And discreet. I'll try.

You're a pleasure to do business with.

Captain's name is Barry.

Very old man, I believe. You'll find his name on some of these manifests and

bills of laden. Of course, your principals face quite a high bill if

square and above board. Oh, and I will need to hire a diver.

Well, I didn't expect you to swim down yourself.

There is one other thing.

This man, Lily...

He's a client of a Liverpool banker.

Name of Beaumont.

He might be of use to you.

I'm sure that Samuel thinks that I made Robert put that final clause in the

will.

But Robert did it for his own good.

Robert always knew best.

Letty, Mrs.

McGarvey is here. She says she must be with you.

I'd rather ask her to come in here. You sit there.

Maybe drink your tea and welcome.

Oh, Mrs. McGahee, do come in. I'm not taking time off, Mrs. Not for long,

anyway. Excuse me.

Oh, Clara, this is Mrs.

McGahee. She helps me with the sack mending. In fact, she's my writer.

And likely it'll get cut off the way things are going down there.

You've not been coming down much. So you've been so busy up here, no doubt.

I have been busy, yes. Oh, we've not been down there.

There's not enough work for a girl to carry on, and you with 30 women set on

no work to speak of. The last order? I mean, ten days back. Done with. Nothing

new. And us sitting there with idle hands.

Well, I'm telling you, missus, we've got to talk, and we know the situation.

We've seen it all before, and never a doubt we'll see it all again.

Ah, we're sorry for you, but on your way.

We've heard it all before.

We're not taking charity, we know that.

But you've not brought us in the work and we're not fit to go out begging for

it. Oh, nor should you, Mrs. McGuire. Aye, that's what I say.

Well? I'll do something, what I can.

Lay some off, Mrs.

There's two or three already been stirring the pot down there.

Idle hands and that means trouble. And if you don't bring us in the work, then

we shall be at each other's throats and yours too, like as not.

Are you threatening me, Mrs. McGuire?

I'm telling you we're only earning when we're working.

Promise work and a fair rate for each sack's own.

And I'm telling you there's no work.

I'll find something. Tell them I'll find something, and they'll be kept on. You

can tell them that, too.

Captain Bain? Yes, sir.

I want you to get the ship ready to sail.

Oh, and we'll need smithers. What for?

Just get them for me. Tell him to bring his diving gear, tell him it's a deep

-water job, and tell him that the job is paid well.

Oh, uh, another thing.

I want you to find a Captain Barry.

Liveable man.

Captain of the Indian Queen.

She's down 30 fathoms.

Got some gossip about it, sir?

Oh, yes, sir.

Just fine.

Anything else, sir?

No, nothing else.

Right you are, Mr. Leden. Come on, stow the ship safely. Make ready for sea.

Lily. Ah.

I've been off at this cargo for a third party.

Now, this Mr. Lilly banks with Mr. Beaumont, and I wondered if you'd done

business.

He's a respected man in Manchester, I understand.

So you have done business with him?

In a way.

Oh, shipped for him, eh?

Can't be very happy, otherwise why come to Worcester?

No, no, I've not shipped for him.

Oh, but you have done business, eh?

Well, have you, haven't you? I've bought into a cargo, that's all.

Oh, indeed.

Now, there's nothing wrong in that, Uncle.

Oh, no, not so long as it's profitable.

So, um, this Mr. Lilly, he's straight, eh?

Aye. Good.

Oh, thank you.

Good day.

Oh, uh, by the way, your mother does know.

How about the cargo?

Fine.

Quiet!

Quiet, the two of you.

You'll both be out.

Early on, Captain.

There's all afternoon and all night to go yet. Hide your own, mister.

Don't bring me telephones.

He'll be roaring drunk for six and dead drunk for ten, poor old devil.

Don't serve him then. He needs his medicine.

Just lost his ship.

Be his last, most likely.

The Indian queen, you know her, Captain?

Yeah.

mind your tongue.

Talked about a man behind his back.

What are you looking at, mister?

I'm taking a drink. All right.

That is the right to take a drink.

Of course you have, captain.

And I'll buy you another.

I'll take it.

Drink for the captain.

Good day to you.

What did he want?

I don't know.

What do you want? A drink?

Hello, Samuel.

Mother looks a little pale.

How's she bearing up?

Well enough, sir. Thank you.

I'm sorry about your father, my boy.

Yes, sir.

He's a man of quality. It's a great loss.

Kind of you to say so, sir. Please, do sit down. Thank you.

He had vision.

He considered things, made up his mind, and then concluded the business with

speed.

I like that in a man.

Yes, sir.

And he was no believer in sentiment, either.

Now, you're aware, of course, that he and I had an agreement.

Am I, sir? Yes, I was to purchase a share in a mill, and he was to take the

other share.

Now, the store will benefit handsomely from the arrangement.

It would have benefited, sir.

I'm sorry. Have the papers actually been signed?

Well, I've signed my part.

To purchase the mill, yes, I understand that, but my father did not sign his

part. Yes, but your father... Yes, but my father's dead, sir.

And death changes a number of things.

You see, I cannot be held to personal agreements made between my father and

yourself.

Well, then you've a lot to learn, Samuel.

The agreement was good for both parties. The profit was fair.

Oh, damn it, I've already purchased the mill.

Then I trust it brings you profit, sir.

You've inherited something more than his department store.

He's bequeathed you his direct manner, too.

Yes, I'm not a child, Sir Daniel. We both knew my father.

Yes.

Well, then, it seems we've reached an impasse.

I could perhaps help you out of your difficulty.

Could you, Samuel?

Yes.

I intend to retail through the postal trade.

Advertise goods for sale in leading magazines and newspapers. It works in

America.

And we now have an excellent postal system for parcels, far better than

You see, in America, huge catalogues go out from the stores in New York and

Boston and so on, right across the country.

And people buy New York goods as far away as California.

Well, I intend to do the same through catalogues such as this.

And you can help me out.

Your mills can provide cotton sheeting.

Now, Mrs. O 'Neill has women working for her at the moment.

30, I think, at the present time.

And she needs work for those women.

They'll make up your cotton into sheets and pillowcases and so on. And I'll

advertise them with the slogan, direct from the warehouse. Yes, but does Letty

know of this?

No, not yet. But can you supply?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

My prices, of course.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Then I'll go elsewhere, sir.

You're a cool customer for one so young.

I, uh...

Think you'll find these prices to your satisfaction, my boy?

Not asleep yet, Samuel.

You see, your printer happens to be a member of my club.

Good morning.

Jay, how nice to see you.

Well,

well, well.

Oh, I never thought to see the day.

I beg your pardon?

You, Suey.

Here, I must tell Lettie. It will please her.

You've come on business.

There, you see.

I pass by hoping for a nice warm welcome and immediately it's assumed that I'm

here on business.

You ought to have been a man.

That's not what Daniel says.

Well, I suppose he would know.

You happy?

Why not?

No reason.

James, what reason?

Well, if you don't know, then it can't concern you. Oh, you really can be so

maddening sometimes.

Now, what is it?

Nothing.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting there making pretty little things like this.

What fine needles.

James, what are you talking about?

Now, stop doing that and tell me.

James. Well, it's, um... It's always the same with these insurers, isn't it?

Takes so long to pay up, don't they?

Well... You would know better than I.

I admit it, mind you. With this insurance claim that you're pressing,

find the same.

Yes, I suppose so.

Mind you, with a businessman of the reputation of Mr. Lillies, I shouldn't

there's any reason to worry.

Daniel's no fool, is he?

Mind you, you face on the horizon, doesn't he? Watching as Daniel will tell

Yes, I suppose so.

When I spoke to William about it, he seemed very vague.

Still, it's no concern of mine, so long as you're happy.

James, I hope you won't think me rude, but I do have another appointment.

Of course, of course.

Well, give my regards to Daniel.

I'll see myself out.

I must tell Lettie she will like this.

Ah, Mr. Dunwoody.

Mr. O 'Neill.

Lady Elizabeth, I've some papers for you to sign. Not now, not now, Dunwoody.

What of my son and Mr. Lilly? Tell me all you know.

Oh, dear, I only confirmed this morning.

Master William bought into part of the cargo of a ship.

Sheet metal it was. It went down.

Well, you may recall the Indian queen went down two or three nights back. The

ship and cargo lost.

Bought? With what?

Well, you did agree he should have a certain number of checks for the day -to

-day expenses of the office, I suppose.

Indeed, I now know he used one of them.

Without your knowledge?

At the time, yes, madam.

You landed that lad in trouble, sir. He's too big for his boots to buy off,

lad. Still, I expect Sister Elizabeth will cut him down to size, eh?

Now, did you find Smith first? He's on board, sir.

And Barry?

Oh, he hardly moves, sir. He's drinking himself stupid.

Oh, look at that, Jacko.

Fit, are you? I'm fit, you know.

Captain Bainty doesn't seem overjoyed to have me aboard.

He was meant to swim beneath the sea.

The good Lord would have given you a gill.

Have you got everything you need? Yes.

Sounds like the Indian queen we're to be looking for.

Is that right?

You said a quick return, Josiah.

So it would have been if the cargo hadn't gone to the bottom of the sea.

Don't worry.

Once the insurers pay, you'll see your capital back. Which will take time.

You said as much.

Look, I can't possibly afford to pay it from my own pocket.

Why should you?

I wasn't supposed to use a company check for such a purpose.

Then, my friend, there is little you can do but admit that you were in error.

I'm sorry, William, but you must learn to walk before you can run.

Now, as you were saying, an Eden was questioning you about Mr. Lilly.

Yes, my uncle's been asked to carry a cargo for him, that's all.

The devil he has.

Mr. Lilly said nothing of it to me.

Perhaps he felt it wouldn't interest you.

But why is he asking an Eden to carry for him? Why not you?

After all, it will be small recompense for your loss.

That is to say, your temporary loss.

Yes.

Yes, it does seem strange.

Find out, will you?

Use your family connections.

Someone will know. My uncle plays a close game. I want to know.

If you find anything, I'll be at the club tonight.

You best come along and see me there.

I'm dining with Mr. Lilly, and I want to know where I stand.

Find out.

You all coming?

I'm an old man, Captain.

Well, you have a life ahead of you.

Do you love your ship, Captain?

Yes, I do.

Once, round the Orm, there was a man washed over.

You know the run there.

Catch the weather right and you'm through like soup. Get a wrong and

for.

That man washed over was my brother.

Now I'm washed ashore on a beach, finished.

But... No one has talked to me since... since I lost...

three days back.

She went down under me.

Boiler blue, and she went down under me, Captain of Needham.

You ever lost a ship?

Yeah.

You? Yes.

Your boiler blue.

That's during business now. All business.

Drop it. And be damned to them as gets it for them.

Be damned to the ships they send down.

Send down, Captain?

He doesn't think of they.

They don't see what you and I see to them.

And he leans to the weather.

Half acre of sail tight as drums in the wind.

Water under the bow isn't vast.

Do they see that? You see it. I do. He does.

Not them.

They sees.

Crab writing in a ledger.

Prophet. Lost.

How far off were you when you went down, Captain?

There's a mile, I'd say, off Cromer's Head.

Like a stone.

Cromer's Head?

No, a sound.

Dear West.

I've got no exact bearing up and do fast.

He was doing maybe ten knots when she blew.

She was old, Indian queen.

But I love that she was.

A mile off Clover's head.

No more exact than that, eh?

You in salvage, are you?

You'll have a lion piece.

I hate salvage men.

Vultures. I thought you was a seaman, not a scavenger.

I'm as much a deep seaman as you are.

Now drink on me own, mister.

Holy shit, by the love.

Gosh, we'll be a bit out.

That little old ship, the compass not adjusted properly. What do you think?

Well, if you went down here where he says it did, it'll not be easy, James.

I know.

We've got the highest spring tides.

It'd be a miracle if the ship was only one piece, you know.

Only one way to find out is to go and look.

Will you die?

I'll try, yes.

Good.

James.

Huh? Look.

You see this line he was taking? Now, if it had kept on that course, he'd have

gone over one shawl after another.

Maybe he didn't intend to bring her back.

Well, it can be made away.

There he is without a penny to his name.

Somebody offers him a nest egg.

Oh, it's a temptation.

How long is he going to be?

Tell us when he's ready.

Ah, money.

You knew that when you were given those signed checks. You knew what they were

for. Day -to -day affairs of the office.

You knew that and you used it dishonestly. You bought a cargo.

No word to me, no word to your father. Do I run the office or do I not? Don't

you dare take that tone with me. Elizabeth.

What was the cargo, William?

Copper sheets. For a quick return, for your pocket.

Well, at least you have the grace not to deny it. Well, why should I? It was my

risk, my judgment. And company money. It will be paid back.

Always providing the insurers will pay up. Well, Mr. Beaumont assures me they

will.

It might take a little time, that's all. Mr. Beaumont may have assets to cover

his losses. You have nothing. Have you been to the exchange today, William? No.

No. Well, this morning there was a whisper that the Indian queen was being

investigated. The salvage association had been called in to check.

Now, you had James O 'Neill in your office this morning. He was here too,

Daniel, but he said nothing. One of his ships sailed this afternoon.

It was carrying a diver.

Now, what do you think, William?

The ship sank and the cargo was lost. That's all there is to it. Providing it

was all above board, yes.

But if that transaction was in any way illegal, they will not pay.

And you will have lost a great deal more than the money.

The trust of the insurance company, William.

Sir, I assure you it was not illegal.

Well, I hope for your sake you're right.

And now, if you'll excuse us, your mother and I have business to discuss.

Pour him up.

Don't stop pumping!

Stop, Tom.

James!

There's nothing down there.

No debris.

There's no sign of any ship.

Oh, we're wrong, James.

Or rather, Captain Batty is.

Are you sure?

He said the boilers blew and they abandoned ship. That means they went

fast. Now, besides, on the seabed, things scattered about, but there's

Nothing at all.

Oh, he's lying.

Damn.

I'll be asking Captain Batty a question or two when we get ashore, and he'll

tell me, old man or no.

No line, Bowman.

You haven't answered my question, Mr. Lilly.

Why give a cargo to the Oneiden line?

I haven't answered, my dear Beaumont, for the simple reason that there is no

answer. I don't understand. There is no cargo for this Oneiden. Never was and

never will be.

Why did he suggest there was? I'm afraid I've no idea. Is he drumming up work?

Perhaps I heard I was doing some shipping. It's happened.

Or fool him.

He's no fool, I can assure you.

He's dangerous to cross.

As I am, Mr. Beaumont.

Well, you best find out if you have the context.

Ask Mr. Fraser to be so kind as to join us. Yes, sir.

Your friend?

He invested in part of that cargo.

Oh, of course. Well, they'll have to wait like the rest of us.

Oh, William.

May I introduce you to Mr. Lilly? Do sit down, Mr. Fraser. Join us. Do you have

something to eat? A glass of wine?

No, nothing to eat, thank you, sir. We were discussing your uncle.

I need him.

He sails this afternoon carrying a diver.

My father was in the exchange this morning. There's doubt about the Indian

queen.

Doubt, sir?

The salvage operatives hired my uncle.

Indeed?

Well, Mr. Lilly... It'll do you no good to hear more nor to speculate more,

Beaumont. If there's more to tell, then I insist on hearing it, sir.

Some wine, will you?

I may call you William May or not, after all, we are partners, so to speak.

The ship went down.

True.

An old ship.

With an even older captain.

He wanted to retire, but he had no money.

Now he's able to retire with a few guineas in his pocket.

He's got on the ship.

The ship went down.

Mr Fraser.

Yes.

But our cargo did not.

I don't understand. No, of course you don't.

The copper sheets were never a border.

Yes, I know what the manifest says. But then Captain Barry had to earn his

retirement. So he took charge of that little matter.

The copper sheets will be sold in due course.

And the insurance?

Oh, yes.

Well, we will, of course, collect that as well.

And the insurance on the ship, of course.

It's not uncommon practice, and no one loses except the insurance company.

Well, I don't know if it's got nothing to do with... Should

you

breathe a word, my young friend, you'll find you're tied to me hook, line, and

sinker. I've your name to papers, bills of lading, and a Fraser check.

You're in with me.

So are you, Beaumont.

Up to your necks.

I'm sorry, William.

But come, friend, why the long faces? You'll make money, we all will. So drink

up and enjoy the night.

And if an Eden finds anything? You'll find nothing.

The crew have gone and now the captain's gone. There's no one to ask. There's

nothing to find.

Of course.

You could talk to your uncle.

Persuade him to let sleeping ships lie.

Aye, why not talk to him, will you?

Point out the little difficult things.

But be assured, boy, I have you by the throat.

I want to talk about it.

And I don't. Anyway, now's not your time, Lettie.

I'm in a hurry. Well, you're always in a hurry, and I won't be satisfied with

it. Look, James, all I'm saying is that I'm not young, and I want your child

before I'm too old to enjoy it. Well, at least, at least let's talk about it.

I said not now, Lettie, and I meant it.

Oh, Luke, we're happy as we are.

In other words, my interests don't concern you. You want everything your

I thought you said you were in a hurry.

Don't let me keep you. I'm sure you've got more important business.

I'm meeting a Mr Buxton.

Tell him I'll meet him on board the ship.

James.

James, I'm sorry if I upset you.

Let me.

Give it time, eh?

Just... Well, not yet, though.

Father, there's a man that insists on seeing you.

That'll be Mr. Buxton.

Well, show him in, Charlotte.

Who the devil are you?

Oh, I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, sir.

Oh, ma 'am, you'll forgive me.

You don't mind, sir? I do mind. What do you want?

What would you say if I was to tell you I was the first mate on the Indian

queen?

Letty, if you'll excuse us, please.

Go on.

And if I was to tell you you're wasting your time by listening to Captain Barry

who's only after telling fairy stories to cover himself, what would you say to

that? I'd say you was wasting your time, because I know that already.

Well, then, sir, let me tell you this, sir. I had a mate went down with that

ship.

Danny.

Good mate to me and a cousin.

Been with a wife and kids back in Crookhaven.

And him dead because that loin captain tells me we'd be safe and sound.

You mean Captain Batty? Aye.

Did he scuttle her?

I'll not say a word of that, mister.

You're salvaging her.

I want Danny off me conscience.

I want a word or two said over him to make it right.

Where did she go down?

Took bearings.

You took bearings? I have a ticket for me, sir.

Come with me.

That deep?

Well, that's where she lies.

Right on the edge of that deep.

Not a good place to dive, James.

With these high springs, they'll be a strong couldn't running.

Best go now while there's still time.

What do you mean?

I'll have to hide tight tomorrow, sir. I'll not go down.

That current could sweep me into the deep.

And Baines, make ready, then.

You won't be needing me along if you just put this over the side when you

to the spot, please. You'll be staying with us. Thank you very much, Baines.

Uncle James?

Uncle James?

Uncle James, I have to talk to you.

No, Townsend, I'm sorry. It's about the Indian queen, Uncle James. No, I'm

sorry. We're leaving.

I don't think you've found actually something.

If I find that, I'll tell the insurance.

They hired me. They get what they pay for. Uncle James, listen.

No, you listen to me.

Now, listen, scuffing a ship is a crime. Not just legality, not just the law,

but the crime of the sea. Now, it matters to Captain Baines. It matters to

It matters to any man on board the ship who calls himself a sailor. Now, if you

will excuse me.

Baines?

Are we set?

Are you sure this is the right place?

As far as I can tell.

When the boiler went off, there was a bit of a panic to tell the truth.

I'm sure there was.

How long does he stay down there?

Ten.

I don't like it to tell the truth.

He can come up wrong, Ev.

A rag.

It's a dangerous game.

Hey, you there.

Keep pumping.

He's right on the end of that line.

Charlotte, your father's warned you.

He doesn't want you to go on seeing William. Well, he doesn't care what I

He just thinks about himself.

Father. I wish you could speak to him, Lettie. Well, why shouldn't I see

William? You know as well as I do why not.

Your father says you're not to marry him and there's an end to it.

Oh, Lettie, you're no help at all.

Charlotte!

Well... Take your time.

No, she... She's down there right enough.

But there's nothing strobing that I can see.

Are you sure about that?

Well, I've... I've checked what I can, but... She's lying at an angle so I

couldn't see all of her.

You said the boiler burst and she went down fast.

That means she must be hold.

So, Paxton.

Go on, Jacko.

Well, I went down into the arsehole.

The seacocks.

Not open. But quite clearly, she was scuttled. What have you got to say to

Fitzellum? Oh, Scott and Barry.

I've got to know if those copper sheets are still down there. You must go down

again. No. Look, I'll pay you. That ship is lying on the edge of a deep.

Now, that's a cleft in the seabed. If she tips, she's going over.

The tide turns within the hour. That ship goes over the edge. But she's not

turned yet.

Look, you can do it. I'll pay. Five guineas.

I'm risking my life.

That ship goes over the edge. It's not copying for me, Mr. Five Guinea. I've

to know.

Miss Allen, which hold was that copper sheet in?

It took me on after the loading. Oh, come on!

Center hold.

How much would you do it for?

Believe me, I know what I'm asking you.

How much?

Fifty guineas.

And a hundred for the wife of a dialect.

We're going to need him.

Only if we don't have just got down.

Look, he's an experienced diver, and he's risking his life for you.

He agreed to go down there into the hole.

Time is running out. I've got to know.

Right. Well?

James, there's air coming from the pulsel inspection hatch.

Bubbles of air.

Now we need a weighted line and a crowbar to open there.

Air?

Johnny's anywhere, isn't that, Pulsel?

He could be there, mister.

Oh, Nadine, you're wasting valuable time. How could he be there? No one

survive. The air would be foul. If he was there, he'd have been dead days ago.

Smethurst, we agreed to come out here to find out if that cargo was aboard.

If it's a big pocket of air, there could be a chance.

I mean, that ship that went down in the Clyde recently.

There were men alive inside her for days.

I can't serve two masters, James.

Captain Baines, how long before that tide turns?

Ten minutes. No more.

But I can't do both, James. I want it to be.

Go for the folk, sir. Right, throw up my plate.

And James, when I pull on that line, you pull me up fast.

You're making a mistake, O 'Nedin.

Not well there's a chance of saving a man's life, but not... Trump!

You've idle hands in your workshop, aren't, Lettie?

I'm expecting a large order, Samuel.

Not my information.

Well, then your information is at fault.

I see.

What is it, anyway?

Fill a case.

Who made it?

It's a sample.

I can take it elsewhere, Lettie. I have thought to help you. You'd thought to

find sweatshop prices. Now, my women do good work, fine work.

Shoddy.

See?

Shoddy workmanship.

We'd not make like that.

How's this fine work, mister?

None of that rubbish.

Spoil the ship, Samuel, for a heap of the tar.

Take a farthing off the price and you shall have the order.

Thirty gross?

Fifty gross and you shall have the farthing.

Forty?

No?

Oh.

Oh, very well, I'll tell Sir Daniel to have the bales of cotton sheet...

Tomorrow, he said.

I've already talked to him.

Good day, then.

Good day.

It's gone.

We tried.

You know damn well that ship was scuttled, William. Now then, the cargo,

still on board?

Well, was it, William?

What about your diver uncle? Did he say the cargo was still aboard?

He didn't have time.

And now the ship's too deep for anybody to dive for it.

James, you've no proof worth a candle.

They'll pay up and that's an end of it.

You're angry about a ship. All right, I understand that.

Not just a ship.

A man.

A man was in there, too.

Trapped in the forecastle.

I don't believe.

Well, then go down to my ship.

Have a look at it. Maybe you've got the stomach for it.

Oh, there he's in the dark.

He must have been mad when he died.

Just look at his face.

Is that the truth, James?

Oh, yeah.

Have this to remind you.

He had it in his hand.

Hang it up, William.

Hang it up for the memento!
