Well, that's Palermo.

Now take over the wheel here and keep her steady on that head.

We're coming into Palermo now, sir.

The Escalus is proving herself a fine ship.

Aye. Made good time.

Is that the last lot of money to come aboard, sir? Aye.

Then straight on tonight.

We have a lot of work to do.

A lot of work.

A bit of wind.

Let's go.

Have a nice day.

Made part

Here

the

deck mr. Men Get the men below and no one to go at your

as a market up there sir We could do with some fresh fruit and vegetables or

send the cook And give him that half -sovereign you won off me last night.

That's mine, Captain Baines. I'll see they get repaid.

Come on, jump to it.

Get that gangplank across.

And down into the folks over the lullaby. My whole barrel over that, I

Only nothing too right, mind.

It's got to keep.

Right, you lads. In the folks are now.

Captain Ben? Aye.

Welcome aboard, senior.

Would you like to come below?

Ah, great.

Okay.

Thank you.

I've been wanting to get rid of it for a long time now.

What, that thing?

Well, I'm sure you can dispose of it somehow, Mr. Fig.

Yes.

I'm a rag man, really, see, Miss Gaunt. Now, these sacks.

I could take them off you. I'd give you a penny a piece for them.

Well, they're mostly torn. I don't even know why they came to be there.

It's the hooks that's ruined them.

Hooks? Ah, hooks.

As duckies use.

What do you want for them? It's the boiler I want rid of.

And it's as saxt as I can sell.

It's full of holes.

With you fetching the prices as today, it's profitable to mend the holdings.

I give you two shillings for a lot.

If they can be bought at that price, Mr. Fig, well, it wouldn't cost much to sew

them up. I might as well go into business for myself.

Aye.

I've seen worse places.

For a sweatshop.

Bye -bye.

Neapolitan, not Sicilian.

I don't know who they frighten more, the banditti or me.

Well, you won't need them again.

Now, let's work out your share of the commission.

Commission? What I do, I do for you, Signora Medina.

Barely the equivalent of 800 pounds.

You were supposed to collect money from over 150 immigrants.

Half of them tell me they will pay you when they come on board.

But I've already chartered a ship.

They know that.

Don't they trust me?

And you tell me we'll be sailing, Mr. Leedon?

Excuse me. I sent the cook ashore for stores. He hasn't returned yet.

There's plenty of time. It appears that over half the emigrants in Sicily have

decided to go back on their word.

Where do they live?

Oh, they're mostly up the coast.

Their leader is in the village of Moetzi, just along the coast.

Moetzi.

Just here.

Will you take me to see them? No, Mr. Rene. I'm not going to lose over half

profits of this voyage just because a load of immigrants don't trust me.

I will go fetch a carriage right now and be back in one hour.

But it is not to blame me if you cannot persuade them. Oh, and, senor, we may

not be back until the morning.

Oh, the morning will do. Another day wasted.

The steamer are chartered in Naples, Captain Baines.

will sail to New York with a full complement of passengers.

Otherwise, it's not worth my while, is it?

All right, I'll see you in an hour. Very good, senor.

Where are your buddy guys?

Oh, Dino and Luigi.

I do not need them now.

Don't they want to be paid for their services?

Oh, they get paid in advance.

Always I have to pay in advance.

Arrivederci, senor.

Well, there you go.

Now, you can bring the Estaloza up the coast and meet me there tomorrow.

I'll be there later.

It's only a couple of miles from the village where I have to go to.

Sandy bottom, no rocks.

Well, you should be there before me.

Excuse me, sir.

The cook's been in the scrap again.

What happened?

I'm not exactly sure. All I know is that he got into a fight. Where is he? He's

been arrested. Never mind about the cook.

We can't just leave him in jail. You'll be at that bay tomorrow with or without

the cook.

Yes, sir.

What do you want?

Join us at Seaman.

Oh, you speak English?

Very good English.

Then get out of my way before I kick you into the harbor.

Very good Seaman. Very good English.

Now keep away from my ship.

Very good cook. Oh, come on. Get away, bosun. No one to come aboard till I get

back.

Old Eden is on his way.

There's a lot of money

with just me and the Bolson in charge.

Make sure nobody comes aboard then. All the same, I'd be happier if we could put

it somewhere safe till he got back.

Yes, well, do you have anything in darker shades?

Oh, thank you.

Charlotte. Hello, William.

We meet again.

Yes. Perhaps there's something in that stewardship.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning, Miss.

I'll inquire if there's any more in the stockroom.

What's happened?

She's just been dismissed.

Dismissed? Well, Uncle Robert told her twice about being late. She was late

again this morning.

Thank you.

I'm always dropping things.

We're expecting some more stock to arrive tomorrow, so unless there's

here that suits you, I'll come back tomorrow.

William tells me you've been dismissed, Mrs. Purvis.

If you're any good at sewing, you ought to see Miss Gaunt.

She might have a job for you.

and cook anyway.

I make a very good pasta. I told you to clear off. Now get off my ship.

I want to go to Napoli. I work hard and I cook good.

What's your name?

I sign you on, Mr. Menz, and prepare to cast off.

Don't forget, none of that greasy foreign food for me, my lad.

Well,

aren't you in the office?

I was this morning. This morning?

You only work for half a day?

Mr. Dunwoody said there was nothing for me to do.

Something else you want at my desk, Daniel? Well, if you will keep so many

the company papers here.

William, you said you'd come riding with me. I'm sorry, Mama, I forgot.

Well, I went to the office and they said you left at midday. Where have you

been? Oh, just out, wandering around. Well, the next time you want to leave

work to wander around, you might ask me about it, William.

Yes, Mr.

Fogarty. And when are you going to stop calling me Mr. Fogarty?

What do you expect him to call you?

Father?

Daniel, when are you going to realize that you'll always be just plain Mr.

Fogarty to me?

You know, it doesn't help matters if you take him from the office to go riding.

Well, I thought he would do us both good.

Anyway, he didn't come. No, and he didn't work either.

Now, it's high time he learned the business from the bottom up. Now, I know

boy has ability. You know he can't even dance.

He can't dance?

Elizabeth, what on earth has that got to do with business?

Well, if he's to take over Fraser's, he'll need to keep up a position in

society.

People will expect it of him.

I'll not have you making yourself dumb.

You don't give me much of a chance to make anything of him. Perhaps that's

of habit.

After all, I brought him up on my own for 17 years, didn't I?

I

think

I'd best stay the night in your carriage.

And have the bandit cut your throat to get your watch?

Luke, where is this man that I have to speak to?

Once I am assured we have room for the night, I go find it. Look, I only have

tonight in which to make them agree.

I have to be back on the Esteloza first thing tomorrow.

Yes,

very good, very good.

Yeah, you eat down there and make a nice table for us. Well, go on then, if you

want your vessels.

Ain't you proud today?

Pavilion. We make it as good as a table in a falco.

You eat, pronto.

Same as the Captain Baines.

He says it's very good, very good. Go.

Go.

You doing nice there like Capitano Banner? He says very good.

He says very good.

Hey.

Now, I'll take the wheel.

Here. Now,

he will take the wheeler.

Don't move, both of you. I shoot good.

You won't stop me.

Set me the money.

Put it on the table.

The money.

Money. Our money.

What we have keep, not spend.

Ecco, good money.

Silence.

Oh,

she say they are even giving the money they have saved for their daughter's

dowry.

So I

can take it you do want to go to America? Oh, si, si, we go America.

It's a big country.

Many work. Our cousin Francisco is there. He writes to us.

He asked them to come. He said to us, we must come, but money

we must keep till we come on the ship.

Don't you understand? I cannot hire a ship without money.

She said, if they give you all their money, how can they pay the mafia?

Pay the Mafia.

Well, everybody pay the Mafia.

Of course.

For protection against the banditti.

Why the software?

It is on the ship somewhere.

That's Mr.

Needham took it with him.

Why should he do that?

I wasn't on board when he went ashore.

He was.

He's the only one who could have told you.

Whether he would have, that's different.

You will tell us. Understand?

Or go the same way.

Who's sailing the ship?

Gabriel is at the wheel. The cook?

He is a seaman.

Where's the crew?

They're locked in their quarters.

You may

not talk to me, Captain Bates, but you will

certainly talk to Signor Anocci.

Thank you for taking the people's money.

He really knows about that, doesn't he?

He knows everything that happens on the island.

Not on the mainland, too.

Big family, Mafia.

You see, that is their difficulty.

If you take their money, they will only have their goats and their oxen and what

they can grow, and those will be taken from them by the banditti if they cannot

pay the Mafia to protect them.

If this Ranocchi knows everything that's going on, why hasn't he put a stop to

it? I mean, he's had enough opportunity.

True, true.

That puzzled me, too, especially as on the quay this morning, I think perhaps

was watching you.

Maybe he's waiting until I collect all the money, including that.

Well, if that is so, I think you would be wise to wait and let them pay you

they board the steamer.

Right. Take me to the show, will you? Oh, but I give you my word, they can be

trusted to pay you when they bought the steamer. Oh, they can keep their money.

I just want to make sure that I keep mine.

Niente.

Ah!

When does Mr.

O 'Neill return?

In the morning.

To where?

Where? No matter.

Is it the bay of Santa Croce near Muezi?

I see the anchorage here is marked.

I think it is to Muezi that Old

Nedian has gone with Benetton.

When do you expect to be there?

If I was in command, we'd be there at dawn.

But as we're just drifting down the wind, I can't tell you.

Leave it alone.

How many men you need to sail, huh? All of them. Not at one time, I think, huh?

No.

The boy can stay on the wheel.

Two of your men on deck. The rest can stay below until we reach the anchorage.

They will be rowed ashore in the longboat.

You and I will wait for Donadin.

It won't be the sort of work you're used to, Mrs Purvis. Yes, well, one can't

afford to be particular, Miss Gaunt.

Mending old sacks.

I'm very quick with an evil.

I'm sure you are, but... Listen, my husband's been laid off at shipyard,

well, what would doctors boast for me mother? And the children to feed. But I

could pay you so little.

If you pay for each sack mended... Oh, that's what I intended.

Then the quicker I can do them, the more I will earn.

Do you know how much you will be paying?

Not really.

There's a man coming to see me this afternoon. He says he can supply me with

the old sacks I'll need, but until I know what I've got to pay him... Can I

back when he's gone, Miss Gaunt?

Why did Mr O 'Neill dismiss you?

It's like I said, I've got my mother to look after, as well as my family, and,

well, with my husband laid off, I...

I had to take on a cleaning job early in the morning. Well, that meant I had to

go home and change and give the children their breakfast and... Well, I was late

at shop three times.

And Mr. O 'Neill, he... He dismissed me.

Can I come back this afternoon, Miss Gorm?

Well... Yes.

Thank you, Mum.

I'll be ever so grateful.

All the same, I wish you'd warned me about Ranochi.

For what reason?

There would have been nothing you could do.

When Ranochi wished to pounce, he pounced. One does not interfere.

I wish you a safe journey back to Palermo.

Oh, I am sure I will.

Tell me, do you also buy protection?

Man has to live.

No protest.

Protest does not make for contentment.

We must accept in his life, no?

Arrivederci.

Well, I hope you're better than the last one. I think the Capitano has nothing

to complain of about my cooking.

Buongiorno, Capitano Nedir.

I am Giuseppe Massimo Alessandro Ranoci.

Towing up, old pack. Forever did you hear that? From Charlotte.

Really? I just happened to run into her at Uncle Robert's shop.

Do you know who's talking of opening a new department store in Church Street?

Did you hear that from Charlotte, too?

No.

You know, William, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to meet one or two other

young ladies.

As a matter of fact, I've been invited to a soiree next Wednesday evening.

Would you care to take me?

Well, there'll be lots of people there your own age. Their daughters, for

instance.

I know you'd enjoy it. Do I have to, Mama?

I'm sure Mr. Fogarty would prefer to take you.

Would you not, Father?

Well, if your mother would like you to accompany her, I'd hate to think that my

wishes stood in the way.

Well, perhaps we could all three go. Then I'd have two dancing partners.

You said a soiree. Yes, well, I'm sure there'll be some dancing.

I'm no good at dancing, you know that.

Where are you both going today?

The races.

Well, I hope you'll have a very pleasant time together.

But why don't...

You still want to come?

I mean, if you're afraid that William disapproves, you only have to say no. I

said we'd go, and go we will.

With or without William's approval.

You've come a little early, Signore Nocci.

You see, we haven't collected all the money yet.

There's no doubt you've discovered.

There's nothing here.

Where's the crew?

They took them ashore.

All but one, that is, Minsk.

What's happened to him?

His body is on deck, decently covered.

As soon as I have the money, you are free to bury him.

Captain O 'Neill, you see your circumstances.

Why do you not tell me where you have hidden our money?

Your money?

My people's.

If you have any sense, you'll remove yourself to the shore and send back my

crew. Make no mistake, the British government won't let you get away with

Just a minute.

Where are you taking him?

Ashore. Until tomorrow.

That will give you time to search the ship more thoroughly than we have been

able to.

As soon as I have counted the money, Captain Baines and your crew will be

returned unharmed.

If not, they will be shot one by one.

Well, you value your captain?

I value him at... 500 pounds.

500 pounds?

Yes.

I've always been one to take a realistic view of my situation.

Now, you have the advantage over me, so I'm offering you 500 pounds.

Aha! So the money's on board, huh? Well, I can certainly find 500 pounds before

tomorrow. I think the sum you have taken comes to roughly 10 ,000 pounds.

500.

Become your captain is worth more to you than that, I think.

Do you think you are, Captain Baines?

I would have thought 500 pounds was just about right, sir.

Yes. That's very handsome of you, sir.

So I'll throw in another 50 pounds for the crew. Can't sail the ship without a

crew, can we, Captain Baines? You could probably manage to adjust to, sir. I

wouldn't like to see you squander your money. You will give me 10 ,000 pounds

they will be dead by tomorrow.

I've never been one to overestimate.

situation. There's plenty of qualified captains to be had, you know. They're

captains. That's right. Of course, I value our long acquaintanceship. But

it comes to business... Precisely. So, shall we say, £600, including the crew?

think, if I am patient, you might go to £1 ,000.

All right, then.

£1 ,000.

That's my limit.

Your limit will be reached at midday tomorrow.

And it will be the sum I have stated.

Ten thousand pounds.

I'm afraid he

knows you're bluffing.

Bluffing?

You think I'm bluffing?

I said a thousand pounds.

I mean it.

Yes, sir.

If he hangs on for any more, he'll get nothing.

You know me.

I reckon I do, sir.

Then you'd better get him to know me, too.

Down with me.

Well, I know you can buy them for a penny.

Ah, well, if I've to scar the whole of Liverpool for them, there's a lot of

on the old car, I must say, the old.

Got to think of my costs, you know, Miss Gaunt. You supply as many as you think

to intend to. Ah,

I'll never make a go on it unless I do.

You should turn them over fast, you know.

No good paying the women a penny a sack if you don't give them enough to make it

worth the while, unless they're all clear off.

Well, I... Never make quite such a gold bit as you, I fancy, if you sell me the

sacks at five pounds what you pay for them.

Oh, well.

Happened I could meet you there, a little.

Mrs. Perkins.

I thought I might get here too late. Too late? Well, Mr Fig and I haven't even

agreed terms yet. I mean, there's no question if the workshop's starting for

least a week, you know.

But there's some way here, Mum, and I didn't want you to get all fixed up

I got here. Oh, I haven't heard what you know about it yet, Mr Purvis. Oh, yes,

they do, Miss. Does Miss Dad want to know Miss Weston coming and Doris

That was no joke, hadn't it, Widow? The more, the better. That's how a sweatshop

works. But I don't want a sweatshop.

The more focus, the work.

The less you have to pay them, that's why I've put the work round for you. Oh,

it was you?

Oh, buy enough for me at five pence a sack.

Pay a penny to have them. A penny? That's wicked. It's business.

I shall certainly pay more than a penny a sack to any employee you admire.

You'll never compete unless you undercut the sack. Make us buy at least one

hour. I can still do that if I buy them off you at two pence each.

Nah, not worth my while at that price.

Sorry, can't do business.

Don't let him go, Miss Gould. We've got nothing at all if you let him go.

I'll not pay you so little. I don't mind doing it for a penny a sack.

But some of them others, they do it for even less.

We've got children to feed.

And men for it, too. Can't get jobs.

We don't mind working hard.

Five pence a sack, Miss Gould. Three pence.

If these good women are prepared to do it for eight, they'd... Three pence, Mr.

Figg. For every ton sack you bring me, and that's my limit.

Now I'll have to think about it, won't I?

Come back tomorrow.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Miss Gawne, is he back?

I'm sure he will.

He's just trying to beat me down, I can see that.

I just hope you're right, but... It's nice if you're used to business, though,

isn't it, ma 'am? Not being a man, I mean, like Mr. Needham.

Well, you think he will come back?

Don't worry, he's gone to get the money. I wish I could believe you were right.

Giacomo. His name was Giacomo, eh?

Maria, his wife, eh?

Look, will you go and fetch him for me pronto?

Giacomo, look, he's sat over here.

Head a bit.

Shoot Fatman.

I'll see it here immediately. I thought you'd gone back to Palermo. I think to

stay for a day or two, at least to make sure you sail away safely. I saw

Banditti on the cliff watching your ship.

This protector of yours, he's holding my crew hostage. Why? How can you find

Giacomo for me? Tell him to bring whatever money that he has. To pay your

ransom? Tell him that I have a proposition for him.

Can you get him for me?

He will not see you short for the price of one cargo.

You take my word for it, he's not bluffing.

You take my word for it, neither am I.

I'm sure he's bluffing.

I mean, what can he earn with a rag and bow, man?

If he makes it his job to keep us supplied with old sack, well, a regular

order... You don't seem as confident as Papa would be, Lettie.

Well, I've not had his experience.

Well, you seem to be learning, though.

I can only pay those women a pittance, anyway.

It'll be more than a penny a sack.

Father wouldn't give those women a thought.

Well, I do.

That's the difference. Between me and your father? No, between winning and

losing.

I'll win.

Well, is it agreed then?

Impossible. Look, you can make it possible.

Tell them.

No, look, you're their leader.

Signore, signore.

I, uh,

I have heard where the Nocius is holding your crew.

They are in a cave along the shore. The bandits I saw on the cliff are guarding

them. How many of them? Oh, too many, I think.

How about Captain Bams? He's in a cottage on the cliff. Dino and Luigi are

outside, perhaps others. If you are considering rescue, forget it. No one

fight the mafia.

Yes, so I guess.

Well, do you want to be bled dry for the rest of your life?

Or do you want to choose freedom?

You don't have much time.

Sorry, this.

Good.

Finished.

What is?

The book.

Oh, it was beautiful.

About a big, silent, rather cruel man.

Very strong.

A bit like Papa in many ways.

There's this governess that falls in love with him.

And it turns out that behind his harshness, he's really in love with her,

Romantic, no?

No. Books aren't nice, Charlotte.

Mr. Fitz.

I knew he'd come back. I'll go, Lettie. No, you won't. You'll wait until he

knocks.

Not even stopping.

He's going right past, Lettie.

He'll probably come round tomorrow.

It'll all work out.

Like it a book.

Mr. Rinochi, I wish you'd listen to reason.

A thousand pounds is a lot of money, isn't it? And it's all profit to you.

No, it is not a question of profit.

It is a question of my position as a leader of these people.

What kind of leader is it that makes these people pay for their freedom?

Captain Benson, you do not understand our society.

If I am the leader here, then I must say what happens.

If I let these people go against our established way of life, both they and I

will be the poorer.

It's a question of pride.

It's just a question of pride.

I mean, you'll have Mr. O 'Neill in a big laugh.

He'll save himself a thousand pounds and leave you with a corpse to bury.

Mr. O 'Neill.

All the time I've known Mr. Needham, I've never known him go back on his

Must be, must be getting red.

Any bells?

Hmm?

One hour to midday.

What is it?

What is it?

What's happening?

Alien without me.

He abandoned me.

This is a belaying pin.

Belaying pin. That's right.

Now, we call this a block.

Block. Block and tackle. Block and tackle.

Good. Right.

Don't worry about me.

You don't have to worry about me.

You don't have to worry about me. You don't have to worry about me. You don't

have to worry about me. You don't have to worry about me.

You don't have to worry about me.

When Captain Baines and the crew are safely on the ship... Ah, so he cannot

without them, huh? Yes, he can and he will. He will make for Naples with a

minimum sail.

Get

up

there. I want you to set the top suit.

Go on, get up. I'll show you when we get up there.

Go on.

Want to get to America?

A little bit harder than that.

Right. Set the course.

You, come on. Pull out that bit of rope there. That's right.

Give me the gun.

Oh,

Nadine.

I mean what I say.

Oh, Nadine.

You know my price.

And you know mine.

One thousand pounds.

It's all here and there, just for you.

It's either this or nothing.

Then nothing.

I don't need him.

I was a ship's captain long before I was an owner.

Oh.

Then what?

Your last chance.

One thousand pounds.

Not enough.

I can still shoot him.

And your crew.

You're a fool.

To give you a present of a thousand pounds on trust.

I think you're a man of honor.

Lascia lo libero.

It wouldn't be in a sweatshop, Mrs. Purvis, and I wouldn't have wanted that.

It's a good job it didn't come out.

Yes, well, we've got nothing coming in at all now, Miss Gaunt.

We'll have to go on parish.

Wait, Miss Gaunt.

You win.

What price?

Three pence a sack.

As long as you take all I bring.

Follow me down below, Captain Vance.

Keep her steady as she goes.

And he threw it all away, hands and hands.

Well, I'm glad nobody dived in after it.

I wouldn't have liked to have had to throw this in after anybody.

It wasn't the money, Captain Baines.

It was a matter of pride between us.

Was that so, Mr. Needham?

Well, I had to convince you that I didn't care.

Otherwise, you'd have given the game away.

You might have pushed me up another 5 ,000.

You must have nerves of steel to give a performance like that.

If it was a performance.

It matters like this.

You must always allow your opponent a way out with honor.

Mind you, Satan into my profits, losing that 1 ,000 pounds to save you.

He fed it to the fishies.

A thousand pounds?

That would have seen me comfortable to the end of my days.

I no longer have had to take orders from any man.
