00:00:24,928 --> 00:00:29,368
Quality over Quantity (QoQ) Releases
The Secret River S01E01: Part 1
2
00:00:29,865 --> 00:00:34,321
You will be handed over to the authorities
from the Governor of New South Wales.
3
00:00:49,781 --> 00:00:51,321
Beware of the light.
4
00:00:52,753 --> 00:00:55,061
Second group.
- Out.
5
00:00:55,877 --> 00:00:58,293
Come out.
- In the legs.
6
00:01:03,694 --> 00:01:04,838
Come on.
7
00:01:06,725 --> 00:01:08,269
I said walk.
8
00:01:22,961 --> 00:01:26,805
To be handed over to authorities
from the Governor of New South Wales.
9
00:01:49,625 --> 00:01:51,069
Will.
10
00:02:08,185 --> 00:02:09,521
Sal...
-Will.
11
00:02:11,837 --> 00:02:14,729
To walk.
- To get up. Stand up straight.
12
00:02:14,945 --> 00:02:19,493
Look forward at the governor's man.
He has first choice, second is the gentlemen.
13
00:02:19,609 --> 00:02:20,761
Will.
14
00:02:20,877 --> 00:02:22,021
Stand up straight.
15
00:02:22,121 --> 00:02:24,921
Head up. Palms open.
Show your teeth.
16
00:02:25,143 --> 00:02:27,001
Show your hands to Mr King.
17
00:02:27,421 --> 00:02:29,533
Riverhands. I recognize them from thousands.
18
00:02:29,613 --> 00:02:31,608
A ferryman?
- No, the Thames.
19
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:33,752
A Thamesman is valuable to me.
I'll take it.
20
00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:38,233
William Thornhill, theft, convicted
to the gallows, commuted to lifelong banishment.
21
00:02:38,234 --> 00:02:42,932
You are hereby assigned to Mr. Alexander King.
Transferred as his servant.
22
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:45,057
Oh, William.
- Sal...
23
00:02:45,177 --> 00:02:46,625
Stop.
24
00:02:47,293 --> 00:02:49,607
Broken ribs are of no use to you.
25
00:02:49,608 --> 00:02:51,850
Get away from him. Go away.
26
00:02:51,897 --> 00:02:53,865
It's us, Will.
- Who are you?
27
00:02:53,915 --> 00:02:55,263
I am his wife.
28
00:02:55,683 --> 00:02:57,761
Come on.
It's okay, my love.
29
00:02:58,735 --> 00:02:59,979
It's me.
30
00:03:00,855 --> 00:03:03,355
It's us, Will.
- Sal...
31
00:03:05,965 --> 00:03:10,623
Look, this is our youngest. Born at sea.
I named him Dickie, after Dad.
32
00:03:12,059 --> 00:03:14,635
Willie, it's Dad.
33
00:03:15,135 --> 00:03:16,915
He doesn't recognize me, Sal.
34
00:03:17,961 --> 00:03:20,093
He doesn't recognize me.
- Please.
35
00:03:21,147 --> 00:03:23,503
This letter contains everything.
36
00:03:26,095 --> 00:03:28,994
It says William Thornhill
should be assigned to his wife.
37
00:03:28,995 --> 00:03:30,838
Look who co-signed it.
38
00:03:30,861 --> 00:03:34,107
A woman who accompanies her criminal husband,
I've never heard that before.
39
00:03:34,296 --> 00:03:36,903
Now it is.
- Signed by Lord Hannebury.
40
00:03:36,923 --> 00:03:41,640
Only a special whore gets special favors.
I give you something, what do you give me?
41
00:03:41,679 --> 00:03:42,882
You dirty...
- Shut up.
42
00:03:42,883 --> 00:03:44,315
Shut your mouth, Sykes.
43
00:03:44,953 --> 00:03:47,507
My name is Alexander King, Mrs. Thornhill.
44
00:03:47,927 --> 00:03:51,322
I need a man who can handle it
with a boat, a big boat.
45
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,111
Will has been sailing on the Thames since his youth.
46
00:03:53,131 --> 00:03:58,134
It's okay, Mr. Grouse. He might be
her husband but she is now his master.
47
00:03:58,306 --> 00:03:59,323
Take off those chains.
48
00:03:59,514 --> 00:04:02,248
I'll pay you for his services.
With rum.
49
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,038
There is no better skipper than Will.
Money, or forget it.
50
00:04:05,063 --> 00:04:07,803
Rum is the only currency on this one
godforsaken place.
51
00:04:07,923 --> 00:04:10,443
The colony runs on it, like a horse
on oats.
52
00:04:10,563 --> 00:04:13,963
Make your husband strong and healthy again
and then come visit me.
53
00:04:15,779 --> 00:04:17,299
Thank you, Mr. King.
54
00:04:18,768 --> 00:04:19,940
Come here.
55
00:04:22,611 --> 00:04:23,927
Honey...
56
00:04:25,362 --> 00:04:26,462
Come here.
57
00:04:26,463 --> 00:04:31,055
Blankets and a week's worth of food,
the magnitude of King George's obligation.
58
00:04:31,515 --> 00:04:34,123
Where should we go?
- Where to?
59
00:04:34,716 --> 00:04:37,444
Over there. You have to go there.
60
00:04:41,218 --> 00:04:45,583
The Penal Colony of New South Wales
Sydney, Australia, 1805
61
00:06:06,235 --> 00:06:09,623
Which way is home, Will?
Which direction?
62
00:06:09,739 --> 00:06:10,971
No idea.
63
00:06:14,351 --> 00:06:16,695
There is no North Star to navigate by.
64
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,891
No Big Dipper...
65
00:06:19,521 --> 00:06:21,389
and every night, the world was so big.
66
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:24,095
It's not like London here.
67
00:06:27,183 --> 00:06:29,367
The most important thing is that we are together.
68
00:06:33,803 --> 00:06:36,175
I don't know how you do it
got, Sal.
69
00:06:38,404 --> 00:06:39,856
Letters.
70
00:06:41,094 --> 00:06:43,906
To high-ranking people. You know that.
71
00:06:44,235 --> 00:06:45,467
"To the king...
72
00:06:50,019 --> 00:06:52,715
"of the man with high qualities."
73
00:06:57,737 --> 00:07:00,229
I did what I had to do, Will.
74
00:07:00,695 --> 00:07:02,875
I couldn't let them hang you.
75
00:07:04,251 --> 00:07:08,327
The most important thing is,
Willie and Dickie have a father...
76
00:07:09,655 --> 00:07:11,399
and I a husband.
77
00:07:14,463 --> 00:07:17,651
Promise me you'll never be there again
you will ask about.
78
00:07:21,630 --> 00:07:24,174
My God, Sal, what have I done?
79
00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:04,723
Get out.
80
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:11,000
Get out, I said.
81
00:08:12,131 --> 00:08:13,651
Walk to the devil.
82
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:42,635
Five years later
83
00:09:00,247 --> 00:09:02,083
This way for honest work.
84
00:09:13,355 --> 00:09:16,375
I'll see you later.
I'll pass by.
85
00:09:38,239 --> 00:09:39,927
It's a colony of thieves...
86
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:43,047
and the worst is the head of customs,
right, Thornhill?
87
00:09:43,199 --> 00:09:44,207
Okay, Mr. King.
88
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:47,214
We sail to the end of the world,
the only thing that has changed...
89
00:09:47,215 --> 00:09:49,106
is the uniform of our masters.
90
00:09:49,332 --> 00:09:50,663
What do you mean, Mr. King?
91
00:09:50,883 --> 00:09:55,799
At home it is the silk-clad nobles
who get rich off the backs of the poor.
92
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:59,891
Here it is the boastful marchers
in red coats.
93
00:09:59,911 --> 00:10:03,111
With time and a new governor
maybe that will be corrected.
94
00:10:03,231 --> 00:10:05,819
But not for the life-long like me,
I bet.
95
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:08,815
That only happens at St. Jutte Mass.
96
00:10:11,231 --> 00:10:12,575
The job is done, Mr. King.
97
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:15,351
You're a hard worker, Thornhill.
You work too hard.
98
00:10:15,771 --> 00:10:19,387
I have nothing left for you until the next fleet
walks in. Then come back.
99
00:10:34,738 --> 00:10:37,159
Drink up, gentlemen.
And the rest too.
100
00:10:37,475 --> 00:10:40,195
Home to your wives.
The poor devils.
101
00:10:40,315 --> 00:10:42,927
Mom..
-On the bench over there, boy.
102
00:10:46,727 --> 00:10:47,959
Dickie...
103
00:10:49,379 --> 00:10:51,579
Where are you going?
Come back.
104
00:10:56,235 --> 00:11:00,227
Come here, Willie. Take this with you
and hide it. Quick, hurry up.
105
00:11:00,347 --> 00:11:02,907
Hurry up.
Okay, everyone. Dumbbell.
106
00:11:02,927 --> 00:11:07,415
Thanks for the business. Get out.
You too, Scabby Bill. Hurry up.
107
00:11:08,175 --> 00:11:11,763
No more drinks today, I'm closing the tent.
Hurry up.
108
00:11:20,811 --> 00:11:22,691
Breeding more criminal scum?
109
00:11:22,692 --> 00:11:25,143
I saw out the last person who had a face like that
eat a trough.
110
00:11:25,263 --> 00:11:28,143
I'll fill you up with the seed of a good citizen.
- Leave my mom alone.
111
00:11:28,263 --> 00:11:31,247
Look after. I am a free settler.
And my sons too.
112
00:11:31,367 --> 00:11:34,683
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
- Free, but you are not above the law.
113
00:11:34,803 --> 00:11:39,127
The rum I sell is Jamaican rum. It is
my husband's wages. You've already had your share.
114
00:11:39,247 --> 00:11:42,333
I'm sure you still want to buy us a drink, right?
- That's theft.
115
00:11:42,434 --> 00:11:45,555
Just to see if it has any bend
from an illegal distillery.
116
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,403
If the rum trade is not in your hands
there would be no illegal distilleries.
117
00:11:53,155 --> 00:11:55,431
Grab two clean tankards, Willie.
118
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:01,855
Rum.
- Fuck off, you dirty, black bastard.
119
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:04,887
Climb your tree again.
-Rum.
120
00:12:05,407 --> 00:12:07,107
It's a successful place, isn't it?
121
00:12:09,307 --> 00:12:10,307
Please.
122
00:12:10,327 --> 00:12:12,751
A small reward for serving
in this stinking place.
123
00:12:13,931 --> 00:12:16,771
Jamaican, like I said.
And now fuck off.
124
00:12:17,891 --> 00:12:18,991
What are you doing?
125
00:12:19,311 --> 00:12:23,675
That's legal. Leave that alone.
That's my husband's salary.
126
00:12:23,795 --> 00:12:26,251
I'm going to tell my dad
He's sending the law your way.
127
00:12:26,371 --> 00:12:29,651
We are the law, my little one,
twittering starling.
128
00:12:40,083 --> 00:12:41,231
Tasty.
129
00:12:41,451 --> 00:12:44,359
There's a shipbuilder on Cockle Bay,
he builds skiffs.
130
00:12:44,535 --> 00:12:47,643
Reminded me of how Dad started out.
He only asks €11 for it.
131
00:12:47,863 --> 00:12:51,691
But �11?
- I did the math, we almost have enough.
132
00:12:51,711 --> 00:12:54,035
The sooner you get your own skiff,
all the better.
133
00:12:54,155 --> 00:12:56,967
Then we make our fortune just like everyone else
and we go home.
134
00:12:57,097 --> 00:13:01,951
Then we buy that house in our city district.
- We can't go home, can we, Dad?
135
00:13:02,603 --> 00:13:04,911
Don't believe everything your dad says, Willie.
136
00:13:05,131 --> 00:13:07,747
The Rum Corp has come around again, hasn't it, Mom?
137
00:13:08,267 --> 00:13:10,375
Put that wood on the fire, Willie.
138
00:13:10,595 --> 00:13:13,275
Dickie, sit by the fire,
we're going to sing songs.
139
00:13:13,699 --> 00:13:15,043
Come on, hurry up.
140
00:13:18,471 --> 00:13:21,355
Those drunks are making me sick
and the Rum Corp.
141
00:13:21,675 --> 00:13:23,775
It's not a place for children
to grow up.
142
00:13:23,875 --> 00:13:26,427
It doesn't matter how sick of it you are,
darling.
143
00:13:27,243 --> 00:13:28,975
We can't go home.
144
00:13:39,071 --> 00:13:40,415
Do you see this, Dickie?
145
00:13:40,535 --> 00:13:43,243
Willie found it right before we came here,
right Willie?
146
00:13:43,459 --> 00:13:45,419
Near Pickle Herring Stairs.
147
00:13:47,635 --> 00:13:49,963
It is an old roof tile from London.
148
00:13:50,483 --> 00:13:53,387
See how they tied it?
Through that hole?
149
00:13:55,155 --> 00:13:59,135
We'll bring it back someday
to Pickle Herring Stairs.
150
00:14:00,055 --> 00:14:03,099
Trust that,
back from whence it came.
151
00:14:25,887 --> 00:14:29,055
Your memory of London is not the same
like mine, Sal.
152
00:14:29,371 --> 00:14:32,971
It was just one bad winter.
- No, we were starving.
153
00:14:33,287 --> 00:14:35,207
We were scrawny.
154
00:14:35,579 --> 00:14:40,215
Willie was as thin as a skeleton,
he wasted away before our eyes.
155
00:14:40,335 --> 00:14:42,779
You were pregnant again and I didn't have a cent
in your pocket.
156
00:14:42,899 --> 00:14:46,739
It wasn't what you thought it was.
- We will buy our house in our city district.
157
00:14:46,859 --> 00:14:52,723
As long as I'm alive, Sal, there's no point
to pretend we're going back.
158
00:14:52,939 --> 00:14:54,859
You will buy a new boat.
159
00:14:56,195 --> 00:15:00,743
And you will get students for you
go rowing.
160
00:15:01,163 --> 00:15:06,299
So you can laze around in our own home.
With a maid.
161
00:15:07,931 --> 00:15:09,143
With a maid.
162
00:15:09,959 --> 00:15:11,807
That us...
163
00:15:12,923 --> 00:15:16,839
brings muffins to bed.
- And brings in the coal...
164
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:23,317
and me, wearing a paisley shawl.
- Yes, like a real poop madam. Come here.
165
00:15:32,903 --> 00:15:33,947
Who's there?
166
00:15:34,276 --> 00:15:38,116
Just when I thought there was none
was a decent skipper in the colony.
167
00:15:47,791 --> 00:15:49,031
Thomas Blackwood.
168
00:15:49,947 --> 00:15:52,411
I know that name.
-Mrs Thornhill.
169
00:15:53,811 --> 00:15:57,283
The fastest skipper on the Thames.
You once had a record.
170
00:15:57,899 --> 00:15:59,595
I had that record for nine years.
171
00:15:59,599 --> 00:16:02,759
Two hours and one minute from London Bridge
to Chelsea.
172
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:05,311
It's now under two o'clock and my husband
broke it.
173
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:09,127
With a storm blowing at his back.
- What do you want?
174
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:12,438
I won't say no to a little bit
of what's there.
175
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:14,179
It's too good to give away.
176
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:27,903
And, what made you
Have you been transported to the ends of the earth?
177
00:16:27,923 --> 00:16:31,263
That's none of your business, Thomas Blackwood.
- You're absolutely right.
178
00:16:32,479 --> 00:16:34,347
Here's to you, Mrs. Thornhill.
179
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:45,659
How come I haven't seen you before?
- I usually stay far away from the city.
180
00:16:46,579 --> 00:16:49,519
Some here let a man know his past
never forgotten.
181
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,371
I bought a good boat,
sail back and forth...
182
00:16:52,491 --> 00:16:55,711
I transport food to the city
and supplies to farmers in the north.
183
00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:57,571
It pays well.
184
00:16:58,191 --> 00:17:01,523
I had condemned servants,
totally useless.
185
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:03,927
They can't go port from starboard
distinguish.
186
00:17:05,043 --> 00:17:06,975
One more, if you don't mind.
187
00:17:08,915 --> 00:17:09,959
Where in the north?
188
00:17:11,179 --> 00:17:15,275
The Hawkesbury.
I could use some help, but...
189
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:19,123
The Hawkesbury River?
- It's a good, deep river. Enough water.
190
00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:23,317
Yes, and plenty of blacks too. You're not coming
near the Hawkesbury River, Will.
191
00:17:23,351 --> 00:17:26,691
The blacks won't bother you.
- That's not what I heard.
192
00:17:26,811 --> 00:17:30,379
They're not like the blacks here,
they are too drunk to throw a spear.
193
00:17:30,499 --> 00:17:33,419
If you leave them alone, they will leave you alone too,
it's that simple.
194
00:17:33,501 --> 00:17:36,007
The Hawkesbury is the place to go quickly
to make your fortune.
195
00:17:36,127 --> 00:17:37,728
No, you're not going, back and forth.
196
00:17:37,985 --> 00:17:40,751
Mr. King has nothing left for me
until the next fleet arrives.
197
00:17:40,821 --> 00:17:43,550
I can't make a fortune
by hanging around here, right?
198
00:17:43,587 --> 00:17:46,683
She has the idea to make a fortune
and go home.
199
00:17:46,803 --> 00:17:50,231
A man trapped in leg irons
of the king has almost no chance of that.
200
00:17:50,232 --> 00:17:53,773
As strange as that sounds,
my dearest wife doesn't want to hear about that.
201
00:17:53,774 --> 00:17:56,133
Don't make fun of me
because we have visitors.
202
00:17:56,141 --> 00:17:57,911
I'm not saying it's impossible.
203
00:17:59,031 --> 00:18:04,059
If you want to make your fortune, your wife is
not as foolish as you think.
204
00:18:04,907 --> 00:18:07,947
There is only a special kind of pardon
necessary.
205
00:18:14,615 --> 00:18:17,811
And what kind of pardon is that?
206
00:18:19,147 --> 00:18:23,623
There is a clergyman, a Reverend Pine.
You could say he's good with words.
207
00:18:23,883 --> 00:18:26,439
He is more than most people
fond of brandy.
208
00:18:26,483 --> 00:18:28,502
The better the brandy, the better
the words.
209
00:18:28,525 --> 00:18:32,265
He sends a letter for a liter
to his superiors...
210
00:18:32,299 --> 00:18:34,650
and he vouches for your good character...
211
00:18:34,651 --> 00:18:38,503
and he praises you for services rendered
to the church and the community.
212
00:18:38,623 --> 00:18:41,539
For four liters he would be the devil himself
forgive.
213
00:18:56,659 --> 00:18:57,903
Tacking.
214
00:19:02,267 --> 00:19:05,891
The last one to do so fell overboard.
He drowned on the spot.
215
00:19:06,607 --> 00:19:10,535
It can't be compared to the Thames, can it?
- Thank God not.
216
00:19:23,367 --> 00:19:27,635
They call it Broken Bay here.
The river flows into it further on.
217
00:19:28,255 --> 00:19:31,435
You can sail around here for days
and never find the entrance to it.
218
00:19:33,247 --> 00:19:37,315
Don't worry, the tide is our friend.
We just have to head in the right direction.
219
00:19:37,875 --> 00:19:39,207
We're almost there.
220
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:42,607
This is it.
221
00:19:44,943 --> 00:19:46,687
Our Hawkesbury.
222
00:19:47,391 --> 00:19:49,231
The best hidden river in the world.
223
00:19:59,683 --> 00:20:01,723
You can be your own master here.
224
00:20:02,939 --> 00:20:05,223
No one's slave, except the tide.
225
00:20:07,943 --> 00:20:09,707
Where are they then?
226
00:20:09,927 --> 00:20:13,543
You only see blacks if they want to.
227
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,291
They saw us.
228
00:20:17,911 --> 00:20:19,355
Here. Just take a look.
229
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:24,171
They pass it on to those upstream.
230
00:21:06,451 --> 00:21:07,595
Thornhill...
231
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:11,495
that's Smasher Sullivan.
232
00:21:12,115 --> 00:21:14,623
He burns oyster shells
to make quicklime.
233
00:21:14,943 --> 00:21:17,203
And he's also a big mischief maker.
234
00:21:20,503 --> 00:21:21,879
Blackwood.
235
00:21:21,983 --> 00:21:23,827
Will, hold the helm.
236
00:21:23,947 --> 00:21:27,111
Blackwood, wait.
I need barrels for my lime.
237
00:21:27,227 --> 00:21:29,059
We're riding the tidal current, Smasher.
238
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,535
I have a load that needs to be transported.
I've been waiting for a month.
239
00:21:32,655 --> 00:21:36,979
Saggerty is waiting for us.
- Let Saggerty and his pigs get typhoid.
240
00:21:38,711 --> 00:21:39,943
Pay attention.
241
00:21:40,563 --> 00:21:43,914
Don't be an asshole, Blackwood.
- The further upstream, the better.
242
00:21:44,135 --> 00:21:47,391
We don't spend the night anywhere near it
by Smasher Sullivan.
243
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:49,351
Get the fuck out of here.
244
00:22:09,915 --> 00:22:13,819
Rum.
- No, not rum rum. Get out, Scabby Bill.
245
00:22:13,935 --> 00:22:17,583
Come on then, get out. Here, take this.
Get out.
246
00:22:17,699 --> 00:22:21,335
Go away. Away.
Then go. Right now.
247
00:22:32,891 --> 00:22:36,247
When will Dad come home again?
- Soon, Dickie.
248
00:22:36,463 --> 00:22:41,587
Soon. It's okay. Scabby Bill
has now appeared and disappeared under a bush.
249
00:22:41,879 --> 00:22:44,367
Okay�, come on. It's bedtime.
250
00:22:44,583 --> 00:22:47,851
But, mom, we weren't done yet.
We're only in Stepney.
251
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:49,919
Oh, yes. Indeed.
252
00:23:35,832 --> 00:23:41,347
My boat had a double bottom for contraband
and stolen goods.
253
00:23:42,863 --> 00:23:44,815
Some rat betrayed me.
254
00:23:45,581 --> 00:23:47,413
He patched me up.
255
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:53,875
Did someone trick you?
256
00:23:58,131 --> 00:24:02,263
I've often wondered that.
- What was your crime?
257
00:24:04,299 --> 00:24:06,003
Trying to feed my family.
258
00:24:06,463 --> 00:24:10,283
Oh, yes.
As innocent as an unborn child.
259
00:24:13,035 --> 00:24:17,227
I stole some brazil wood
on a moonless night.
260
00:24:18,835 --> 00:24:20,379
I bet it was worth a lot.
261
00:24:23,239 --> 00:24:24,911
�5.
262
00:24:27,178 --> 00:24:30,443
It's a wonder you didn't get the noose.
- That almost happened.
263
00:24:32,847 --> 00:24:34,663
If Sal hadn't been there...
264
00:24:35,353 --> 00:24:38,161
She's not the person to do something like that
to stand in her way.
265
00:24:39,531 --> 00:24:40,967
Not even the executioner?
266
00:24:42,579 --> 00:24:44,763
No. Stubborn, you might say.
267
00:24:48,231 --> 00:24:49,875
How did she manage that?
268
00:25:00,410 --> 00:25:02,454
A letter...
269
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:05,312
to a high ranking person.
270
00:25:09,151 --> 00:25:11,747
Her father took me in from the street...
271
00:25:12,811 --> 00:25:15,891
and I became his disciple, as if I were
was his own son.
272
00:25:16,186 --> 00:25:21,958
He gave me his boat as a wedding gift.
We had a house in Swan Lane.
273
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:25,119
We lost that.
274
00:25:25,935 --> 00:25:27,267
What had happened?
275
00:25:30,357 --> 00:25:32,205
The Thames froze.
276
00:25:32,619 --> 00:25:34,151
We didn't deserve anything anymore.
277
00:25:36,339 --> 00:25:38,399
That was the same year our dad died.
278
00:25:41,719 --> 00:25:45,091
And of course the bailiffs come
take everything.
279
00:25:45,803 --> 00:25:47,375
The house...
280
00:25:47,723 --> 00:25:49,075
then your boat...
281
00:25:52,251 --> 00:25:54,195
It had gone over his head.
282
00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:58,287
One harsh winter too many.
283
00:26:01,568 --> 00:26:03,012
Aren't they all?
284
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:09,351
She forgets that.
285
00:26:11,758 --> 00:26:14,454
Maybe she doesn't want to remember.
Don't know.
286
00:26:15,028 --> 00:26:17,660
Memories are a strange thing
in a place like this.
287
00:26:21,583 --> 00:26:23,203
Well, I haven't forgotten.
288
00:26:31,302 --> 00:26:32,946
What's worse...
289
00:26:35,484 --> 00:26:39,039
to own something and lose it,
or never having had it?
290
00:26:42,071 --> 00:26:44,011
So won, so done.
291
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:07,075
Willie.
No, Dickie, come back.
292
00:27:07,379 --> 00:27:08,667
Boys.
293
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,883
Fuck off. Get out.
294
00:27:33,095 --> 00:27:36,539
Shut up, coals.
- Willie, Dickie, get out of there.
295
00:27:38,187 --> 00:27:40,727
Come on then, fuck off.
296
00:27:41,147 --> 00:27:43,667
Get out of here with your filthy
black thunders.
297
00:27:55,735 --> 00:27:57,715
Where the hell have you been, Blackwood?
298
00:27:57,835 --> 00:28:01,539
Now don't be like that, Saggerty.
Otherwise I'll just leave your pigs here to rot.
299
00:28:02,059 --> 00:28:06,603
I see you have a new servant again.
-Thornhill, Saggerty.
300
00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:10,182
Mine is done to him,
into the bush.
301
00:28:10,586 --> 00:28:12,946
He thinks he can walk to China.
302
00:28:13,318 --> 00:28:17,374
The savages are more likely to eat him.
- They're not cannibals.
303
00:28:19,729 --> 00:28:23,777
They have set up camp again further away,
an entire tribe.
304
00:28:24,251 --> 00:28:27,251
Those dirty thieves have six bags of wheat
stolen from me...
305
00:28:27,371 --> 00:28:30,967
when I was washing myself.
- That will teach you not to wash yourself.
306
00:28:38,363 --> 00:28:41,003
His wife and babies. The sun killed them.
307
00:29:01,667 --> 00:29:05,554
Dickie, there's no way they're going to lay eggs
if you keep looking at them all day.
308
00:29:18,207 --> 00:29:23,015
I have 100 acres of land away,
at the first branch.
309
00:29:23,131 --> 00:29:24,979
Blackwood's Lagoon...
310
00:29:25,522 --> 00:29:30,655
not bad for a repeat offender.
- Blackwood's Lagoon, how did you do that?
311
00:29:30,771 --> 00:29:35,215
When I received my pardon, I settled down
on a piece of land and planted crops there.
312
00:29:35,719 --> 00:29:37,875
In this way people claim a piece of land here.
313
00:29:39,699 --> 00:29:41,139
Is it that simple?
314
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,939
Nothing in the world is just that
up for grabs, Thornhill, but hey...
315
00:29:45,091 --> 00:29:47,191
by simply sticking a stick in the ground.
316
00:29:47,931 --> 00:29:49,523
Stay alert.
317
00:29:52,379 --> 00:29:55,571
Lord Loveday, a free settler.
318
00:29:55,891 --> 00:30:00,207
He considers himself a real gentleman.
Better than us, you condemned scum.
319
00:30:04,007 --> 00:30:07,643
But that makes no difference here,
we all have our own piece of land here, and...
320
00:30:07,963 --> 00:30:10,051
everyone's shit smells exactly the same.
321
00:30:38,631 --> 00:30:39,967
What did you say to them?
322
00:30:40,911 --> 00:30:42,899
The usual: how are you.
323
00:30:45,159 --> 00:30:48,779
You sounded just like them.
- You learn that gradually...
324
00:30:49,295 --> 00:30:50,935
if you really want to.
325
00:30:56,343 --> 00:30:58,967
Place the shovels at the end.
Hurry up.
326
00:31:04,699 --> 00:31:05,983
Please.
327
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,371
You're from Bermondsey.
328
00:31:08,491 --> 00:31:12,566
That's so far away that I'll never go there again.
- But his wife wishes it were different.
329
00:31:12,567 --> 00:31:15,435
The sooner she stops moping, the better,
just tell her that.
330
00:31:15,555 --> 00:31:18,595
We have to build our lives here.
Just tell her that.
331
00:31:26,503 --> 00:31:31,059
Do you know the St. Mary Magdalene Church,
Reverend Pine? In Bermondsey.
332
00:31:31,679 --> 00:31:34,475
My mom and dad are in the cemetery
of the church.
333
00:31:34,495 --> 00:31:36,595
My brothers and sisters too.
334
00:31:36,715 --> 00:31:39,547
My Will and I met there
when we were young.
335
00:31:39,667 --> 00:31:42,895
Will, he loved being in that church so much.
336
00:31:43,015 --> 00:31:46,283
Looking at those huge windows
when the light came in.
337
00:31:46,903 --> 00:31:50,831
He said he could feel God's presence,
there at that spot by the river.
338
00:31:50,951 --> 00:31:53,171
There, in that special place.
339
00:32:58,467 --> 00:33:00,211
I saw you looking over there.
340
00:33:01,153 --> 00:33:02,897
I know what you're thinking.
341
00:33:04,497 --> 00:33:06,041
Is that so?
342
00:33:08,911 --> 00:33:14,475
You don't just appropriate something for yourself here.
It's give and take. It's the only way.
343
00:33:14,691 --> 00:33:16,411
Otherwise you're as dead as a doornail.
344
00:33:17,267 --> 00:33:19,539
I have no problem with that.
345
00:33:22,763 --> 00:33:23,907
Nice.
346
00:33:37,315 --> 00:33:39,035
I have a surprise for you.
347
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:53,795
Hello.
348
00:34:02,375 --> 00:34:05,291
You've grown so much.
I've been away too long.
349
00:34:07,091 --> 00:34:09,091
He's got the farmers in his corner, Sal.
350
00:34:09,107 --> 00:34:12,134
Without his boat, their crops cannot grow
might as well rot in the ground.
351
00:34:12,135 --> 00:34:16,651
He also has land himself. A repeat offender,
100 hectares. Incredible.
352
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:20,215
He calls it Blackwood's Lagoon.
And he's not the only one.
353
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:22,951
Here, Dickie, eat the egg you were waiting for
that it was laid.
354
00:34:22,990 --> 00:34:26,482
He's been staring for days.
- Blackwoord wants me to come along again.
355
00:34:26,579 --> 00:34:27,707
Well, I don't.
- No, Dad.
356
00:34:27,827 --> 00:34:30,544
Can I come?
- They missed you. And me too.
357
00:34:30,683 --> 00:34:33,891
You never have
such a beautiful landscape, Sal.
358
00:34:33,911 --> 00:34:36,997
It's powerful, with a
unique beauty.
359
00:34:37,153 --> 00:34:39,643
What about the blacks?
- I haven't seen one.
360
00:34:41,143 --> 00:34:42,823
Ok�, a few then. A few.
361
00:34:42,943 --> 00:34:46,839
They were fishing and getting involved
with nothing. They are as quiet as a mouse.
362
00:34:47,263 --> 00:34:50,513
What took you so long?
- I'll try to be faster next time.
363
00:34:50,531 --> 00:34:52,179
There won't be a next time.
364
00:34:53,231 --> 00:34:55,075
No, your dad isn't going anywhere.
365
00:34:58,363 --> 00:34:59,643
Nice shot.
366
00:34:59,863 --> 00:35:02,639
It's like something out of a dream, Sal.
367
00:35:03,843 --> 00:35:08,103
How the light reflects on it,
It changes all the time, It's...
368
00:35:11,135 --> 00:35:14,431
We must claim it before anyone else
it does.
369
00:35:16,883 --> 00:35:21,879
Will, I wither away when you're gone.
370
00:35:22,099 --> 00:35:26,823
And the boys miss you in their own way,
especially Dickie, he doesn't understand.
371
00:35:28,263 --> 00:35:29,967
And we farm well.
372
00:35:30,421 --> 00:35:33,181
Soon you will be able to buy your own boat
and work in the bay.
373
00:35:33,215 --> 00:35:37,855
There are already too many people working in the bay.
- We're lucky, Will.
374
00:35:38,371 --> 00:35:40,375
Just think how lucky we are.
375
00:35:40,491 --> 00:35:45,659
You could have died, the boys would have
no father and I no longer a man.
376
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:50,547
All I care about is that we
being together...
377
00:35:51,151 --> 00:35:55,131
even if we own nothing.
That's all I care about.
378
00:35:56,129 --> 00:35:58,129
You understand that, right?
379
00:35:59,471 --> 00:36:01,071
Yes, I understand.
380
00:36:07,675 --> 00:36:12,459
Stephen Compte. Donald Myles.
Richard Edwards.
381
00:36:12,675 --> 00:36:14,267
William Blakemore.
382
00:36:14,483 --> 00:36:15,835
Susannah Pettit.
383
00:36:15,951 --> 00:36:17,423
Rebecca Foster.
384
00:36:17,939 --> 00:36:19,279
George Manning.
385
00:36:19,495 --> 00:36:22,707
Thomas Barnaby. Robert Moreland.
386
00:36:22,923 --> 00:36:24,895
William Thornhill.
387
00:36:25,215 --> 00:36:29,331
For good behavior, for sobriety
and diligent...
388
00:36:29,447 --> 00:36:31,163
and service to the church...
389
00:36:31,483 --> 00:36:35,151
is on those grounds and in progress
of the power granted to me...
390
00:36:35,271 --> 00:36:38,783
that I unconditionally spend the remaining time
pardon your sentences...
391
00:36:38,903 --> 00:36:42,895
and hereby declare your full pardon
have received.
392
00:36:44,419 --> 00:36:47,579
That means we can go home someday.
- Oh, does that mean?
393
00:36:47,699 --> 00:36:50,203
You and your nonsense.
You know exactly what it means.
394
00:36:50,823 --> 00:36:53,111
It means you no longer have any excuses.
395
00:37:01,208 --> 00:37:02,784
He's not coming.
396
00:37:02,927 --> 00:37:06,846
The freight business has done me no harm
and you only need so much in life.
397
00:37:06,917 --> 00:37:09,755
Everything I need, without the annoyance,
I have upstream.
398
00:37:09,955 --> 00:37:11,487
For some, that's good enough.
399
00:37:11,628 --> 00:37:13,168
I'm selling the boat.
400
00:37:14,768 --> 00:37:16,307
To someone I can trust.
401
00:37:16,427 --> 00:37:18,155
How many?
- Let him finish.
402
00:37:19,075 --> 00:37:24,183
The people by the river, good ones,
hardworking people have come to count on me.
403
00:37:24,829 --> 00:37:28,283
A man with a boat that can handle it
with the currents, farming is good.
404
00:37:28,284 --> 00:37:31,723
Enough, I'll give you $10 for that boat.
- He's worth a lot more.
405
00:37:31,843 --> 00:37:35,899
Will plans to go boating in the bay.
So make our fortune and go home.
406
00:37:36,062 --> 00:37:39,631
The Hawkesbury is the only place where you get fast
you can make your fortune, Mrs Thornhill.
407
00:37:40,061 --> 00:37:42,605
How much do you want for it, Mr Blackwood?
408
00:37:43,538 --> 00:37:47,943
�30. The case is included.
- I don't want your business, just your boat.
409
00:37:47,963 --> 00:37:50,271
I give you �12.
Shut up, Will.
410
00:37:52,491 --> 00:37:55,619
Ok�. �15 is my bid height.
Like it or not.
411
00:37:58,959 --> 00:38:00,751
Thank you, Mrs. Thornhill.
412
00:38:03,455 --> 00:38:04,899
Never mind.
413
00:38:19,935 --> 00:38:21,615
What are you doing, Willie?
414
00:38:22,287 --> 00:38:24,819
I'll give you a good beating.
Give here.
415
00:38:24,939 --> 00:38:26,563
But it's my turn, Mom.
416
00:38:26,879 --> 00:38:30,287
Enough now.
Go play something else.
417
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:44,923
Where are you going, mom?
418
00:38:46,139 --> 00:38:49,915
The Corps has given and the new governor
has taken.
419
00:38:50,135 --> 00:38:53,471
He wants to sober up the colony.
The rum trade is over.
420
00:38:53,591 --> 00:38:56,111
He sends it back.
- That's no use to me, Mr. King.
421
00:38:56,279 --> 00:38:58,479
How are we going to make ends meet if I don't have rum?
can sell?
422
00:38:58,595 --> 00:39:01,207
Hard coins for hard work done.
423
00:39:01,327 --> 00:39:04,883
Not as comforting as rum,
but that's just how life is.
424
00:39:05,899 --> 00:39:08,231
Thank you, Mr. King.
425
00:39:09,001 --> 00:39:11,349
You seem like a capable woman...
426
00:39:11,515 --> 00:39:14,955
and you, Thornhill, are a hard worker.
427
00:39:15,018 --> 00:39:18,238
It may not seem like it, but those
who have banished you...
428
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,907
have given you a new world.
A clean slate, a rare opportunity.
429
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:26,364
How do you arrive at that?
- That child in your belly, Mrs Thornhill...
430
00:39:26,387 --> 00:39:32,355
whether it is a boy or a girl, grows up
without knowing London and its prejudices.
431
00:39:32,475 --> 00:39:35,627
Not if it's up to me.
- Listen to him. Let him finish.
432
00:39:35,994 --> 00:39:39,587
In this new place, a busy one can
man and woman thrive...
433
00:39:39,635 --> 00:39:41,939
liberated from the status they had at home.
434
00:39:42,259 --> 00:39:45,283
Think about what is needed here,
but not available.
435
00:39:45,403 --> 00:39:48,391
Fulfill those needs and you will survive.
436
00:39:48,811 --> 00:39:51,811
Close the past
and you will prosper.
437
00:39:52,927 --> 00:39:54,379
Just think about that.
438
00:40:02,702 --> 00:40:04,920
We could settle down by the river...
439
00:40:04,959 --> 00:40:07,378
and run the freight business from there,
as Blackwood did.
440
00:40:07,379 --> 00:40:10,806
Then we paid off the boat in no time.
- I'm not going and that's it.
441
00:40:10,807 --> 00:40:15,091
You said you wanted to quit
for the good of the boys. I want that too.
442
00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:18,966
I meant going home
not to the Hawkesbury and you know it.
443
00:40:18,967 --> 00:40:22,187
Just shut your mouth for once.
Just listen.
444
00:40:26,446 --> 00:40:29,983
I've never known anyone
who owned a piece of land, Sal...
445
00:40:30,299 --> 00:40:31,903
not even your dad.
446
00:40:33,395 --> 00:40:37,222
If you have your own piece of land,
can you cope with anything...
447
00:40:37,223 --> 00:40:42,295
take shelter until things get better
and no one can take it away from you. Nobody.
448
00:40:42,715 --> 00:40:46,843
Think about that,
we on our own piece of land, we.
449
00:40:47,163 --> 00:40:50,039
We just need to plant crops
and it's ours. From us, Sal.
450
00:40:50,159 --> 00:40:54,011
Washed? You don't even know what the top is
or bottom of a turnip.
451
00:40:54,251 --> 00:40:58,843
No, I won't, not there
in that terrible wilderness.
452
00:40:59,059 --> 00:41:00,235
I won't do it.
453
00:41:07,103 --> 00:41:09,011
Have you got enough for the house now, Willie?
454
00:41:10,315 --> 00:41:11,999
The tide is starting to come in.
455
00:41:13,915 --> 00:41:15,391
Look.
456
00:41:15,711 --> 00:41:20,039
You're right. I don't know what the top
or bottom of a turnip.
457
00:41:23,935 --> 00:41:28,393
But I do know that five years of freight trading
will make us enough money.
458
00:41:28,419 --> 00:41:31,275
Five years, that's all I ask.
459
00:41:31,869 --> 00:41:34,927
Then we sell everything and pack
the next boat home...
460
00:41:35,043 --> 00:41:36,911
with God as my witness.
461
00:41:36,931 --> 00:41:39,815
Then we buy the house, pay for it
straight away...
462
00:41:40,431 --> 00:41:42,851
an armchair by the fireplace...
463
00:41:43,807 --> 00:41:47,548
a maid who brings the coal
and all the white bread you can eat...
464
00:41:47,549 --> 00:41:50,416
and the Bow Bells that tells us
what time it is.
465
00:41:54,235 --> 00:41:56,083
Your decision is already made, right?
466
00:41:57,875 --> 00:41:59,627
Have you set your sights on it?
467
00:42:04,935 --> 00:42:07,363
Five years, that's all we need.
468
00:42:07,879 --> 00:42:11,191
Five years?
- That's all I ask.
469
00:42:17,286 --> 00:42:19,339
Fine, five years then.
470
00:42:21,135 --> 00:42:23,978
But only from the moment
that I had this baby.
471
00:42:24,087 --> 00:42:28,087
Five years, I promise.
472
00:42:30,067 --> 00:42:33,347
Five years.
- Okay�. But don't forget...
473
00:42:33,767 --> 00:42:35,971
that you don't pick turnips from a tree.
474
00:42:37,803 --> 00:42:41,323
Picking turnips from a tree.
Don't be silly.
475
00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:15,903
It's okay.
476
00:43:17,111 --> 00:43:18,255
Look there.
477
00:43:35,699 --> 00:43:36,975
There it is.
478
00:43:37,791 --> 00:43:38,923
There.
479
00:43:40,651 --> 00:43:44,567
That's the Hawkesbury,
the best hidden river in the world.
480
00:44:08,887 --> 00:44:11,267
You'll be surprised how attached you are
touches it.
481
00:44:13,715 --> 00:44:15,715
You and your drivel, Will Thornhill.
482
00:44:21,607 --> 00:44:22,695
Look.
483
00:44:24,919 --> 00:44:27,495
Willie said the blacks are going to eat us.
484
00:44:28,115 --> 00:44:32,351
Don't let them eat me, Mom.
- It's okay, Dickie, they're not going to eat you.
485
00:44:34,019 --> 00:44:35,919
You don't have enough meat on your bones, kid.
486
00:44:36,683 --> 00:44:39,227
Are there blacks where we're going, Dad?
487
00:44:41,035 --> 00:44:42,795
I haven't seen one.
488
00:45:31,055 --> 00:45:32,183
There it is.
489
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,443
There.
490
00:45:38,763 --> 00:45:40,947
That's our own piece of land, Sal.
491
00:46:34,535 --> 00:46:35,779
From me.
492
00:46:51,359 --> 00:46:53,927
By William Thornhill.
493
00:47:23,875 --> 00:47:25,019
Well done.
494
00:47:28,371 --> 00:47:29,515
Now tie it up.
495
00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:42,103
Put it through.
496
00:48:24,499 --> 00:48:27,135
The tent is up, Mom.
- Dad made a fire.
497
00:48:29,130 --> 00:48:31,362
Cozy as a cat in its basket.
498
00:48:33,401 --> 00:48:35,173
Come and have a look, Sal.
499
00:48:36,267 --> 00:48:37,403
We...
500
00:48:38,537 --> 00:48:42,807
are also making tea.
A nice cup of tea will do us good.
501
00:48:43,623 --> 00:48:44,907
So this is it...
502
00:48:45,435 --> 00:48:47,351
the place you dreamed of?
503
00:48:52,151 --> 00:48:53,799
This is it. It's...
504
00:48:54,899 --> 00:48:56,399
Thornhill's Point.
505
00:49:00,151 --> 00:49:03,775
I know what you're thinking.
- "God help us", I think so.
506
00:49:05,471 --> 00:49:07,571
I'm hungry, mom.
507
00:49:29,883 --> 00:49:33,355
Come on.
- Give us a hand, Willie.
508
00:49:44,143 --> 00:49:45,543
This way, Mom.
509
00:50:12,968 --> 00:50:15,776
Please. That keeps you warm.
510
00:50:21,220 --> 00:50:23,260
You will be away for a week at a time.
511
00:50:24,939 --> 00:50:27,311
And what if something happens
when you're not there...
512
00:50:28,127 --> 00:50:29,747
what should we do then?
513
00:50:32,221 --> 00:50:37,669
I'm buying a skiff for Willie.
And teach him to row. He will take care of you.
514
00:50:40,771 --> 00:50:41,915
Willie?
515
00:50:44,147 --> 00:50:45,343
I...
516
00:50:46,463 --> 00:50:50,507
get yourself some convicts.
We're not going to waste any time.
517
00:50:58,618 --> 00:51:00,466
It'll be fine, Sal.
518
00:51:02,407 --> 00:51:05,251
That's how the others started too, with nothing.
519
00:51:08,675 --> 00:51:10,155
It won't be that bad.
520
00:51:15,226 --> 00:51:18,875
I'll build you the house you've always wanted
you wanted.
521
00:51:20,709 --> 00:51:22,497
But not where I want.
522
00:51:27,259 --> 00:51:28,875
Five years.
523
00:51:29,695 --> 00:51:31,887
That's all I'm asking, five years.
524
00:51:33,671 --> 00:51:37,367
Five years?
- With God as my witness.
525
00:51:46,337 --> 00:51:48,413
Time will fly by.
526
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:53,923
Yes, Will, that one flies by.
527
00:51:57,075 --> 00:51:59,595
As long as it doesn't
for the rest of my life.
528
00:53:00,251 --> 00:53:01,935
Think about it, Sal...
529
00:53:02,955 --> 00:53:04,947
the Thames used to be the same...
530
00:53:05,467 --> 00:53:08,258
before the Romans came.
How about that?
531
00:53:11,386 --> 00:53:16,042
Over there, that would be Christchurch.
532
00:53:16,415 --> 00:53:19,043
And our little street towards Swan Lane...
533
00:53:22,742 --> 00:53:24,826
Do you see that, over there?
534
00:53:25,399 --> 00:53:29,671
That's like walking up St-Mary-at-Hill.
Just as steep.
535
00:53:30,975 --> 00:53:35,719
And there, that's Hay's Wharf...
536
00:53:36,139 --> 00:53:38,235
where your dad taught me to row.
537
00:53:39,967 --> 00:53:44,759
And there, there stands Watermen's Hall,
exactly where it always stood.
538
00:53:47,135 --> 00:53:48,851
It's still there, Will.
539
00:53:50,370 --> 00:53:52,067
The problem is we're not there.
540
00:53:53,316 --> 00:53:56,691
Now go build a fire so I can
can feed the children...
541
00:53:56,811 --> 00:53:59,119
before you go to Mermaid Row
for a beer.
542
00:54:00,463 --> 00:54:02,727
Your mother is trying to be funny.
543
00:54:06,815 --> 00:54:08,011
Do you hear that?
544
00:54:10,086 --> 00:54:12,326
Those are the bells of St Martins.
545
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:18,451
Could they be watching us, Dad?
546
00:54:20,592 --> 00:54:22,492
The savages?
547
00:54:26,031 --> 00:54:28,323
Come on. Work to be done.
548
00:54:28,939 --> 00:54:30,071
Come on.
549
00:54:36,367 --> 00:54:39,415
Do you see those daisies growing there?
What does that mean?
550
00:54:39,935 --> 00:54:42,595
That they love the sun?
- Indeed.
551
00:54:43,058 --> 00:54:46,261
A good place to plant corn.
You need sun to grow corn.
552
00:54:46,267 --> 00:54:49,947
At least I know that.
- At least that's something, Farmer Will.
553
00:54:50,159 --> 00:54:53,884
Dickie, should we plant some seeds?
And show your mom how to grow corn?
554
00:54:53,885 --> 00:54:57,723
I want to plant the seed, Dad.
- Yes, but first we have to work the land...
555
00:54:57,729 --> 00:54:59,655
plow the ground, right?
556
00:55:02,275 --> 00:55:05,435
What is?
- Someone dug here.
557
00:55:19,703 --> 00:55:21,383
Someone has been here.
558
00:55:22,787 --> 00:55:24,575
No. No one has been here.
- Yes.
559
00:55:24,691 --> 00:55:26,511
No. They are just...
560
00:55:27,331 --> 00:55:31,267
wild boars or moles, or something like that.
561
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:33,707
I didn't see any moles.
- Keep your lid closed.
562
00:55:35,519 --> 00:55:39,147
Go get a hoe. And also a shovel.
Hurry up. Both.
563
00:55:44,813 --> 00:55:46,257
Someone has been here.
564
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:51,003
No one has been here.
565
00:56:49,203 --> 00:56:51,519
Don't spear us, boys.
566
00:56:52,915 --> 00:56:55,875
We don't have much for you.
567
00:57:03,899 --> 00:57:06,811
Give them something, Will.
- It's okay, Sal.
568
00:57:12,791 --> 00:57:15,915
You're talking gibberish, old boy.
569
00:57:16,035 --> 00:57:19,375
I don't understand it at all.
Not a single word. So...
570
00:57:22,779 --> 00:57:23,879
Please.
571
00:57:24,795 --> 00:57:26,495
Then, take it. It's...
572
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:28,615
it's money.
573
00:57:34,831 --> 00:57:36,063
Take it.
574
00:57:36,967 --> 00:57:42,063
These are some of our provisions. Cured meat.
575
00:57:44,931 --> 00:57:46,475
You eat it.
576
00:58:01,875 --> 00:58:04,239
You thieving, devious...
- Come here, Willie.
577
00:58:04,359 --> 00:58:06,211
Come back.
- Give me that shovel.
578
00:58:08,651 --> 00:58:10,195
Give me that shovel.
579
00:58:10,915 --> 00:58:12,895
Just give me that shovel back.
580
00:58:13,515 --> 00:58:16,795
Will? Give it to him.
- Give me that shovel.
581
00:58:16,911 --> 00:58:18,943
Quiet, quiet.
582
00:58:21,907 --> 00:58:24,983
You can have it. Take it.
Come on then.
583
00:58:25,903 --> 00:58:28,015
You can have it.
Please.
584
00:58:28,931 --> 00:58:30,363
He is yours. Come on then.
585
00:58:39,955 --> 00:58:42,763
Why don't they have us?
strung on their spears, Dad?
586
00:58:43,163 --> 00:58:47,603
They have no reason for that,
right Will?
587
00:58:48,439 --> 00:58:50,843
They are done for this moment.
588
00:58:51,899 --> 00:58:53,787
They just passed by here.
589
00:58:58,871 --> 00:59:00,015
Come along.
590
00:59:00,635 --> 00:59:02,683
Then we go back.
- Nothing's wrong.
591
00:59:13,495 --> 00:59:18,183
Five times 50 is?
-250.
592
00:59:18,287 --> 00:59:20,831
250 plus five times two is?
593
00:59:21,247 --> 00:59:23,875
260?
- Indeed.
594
00:59:24,095 --> 00:59:29,307
So five years minus a week, how many weeks
are there any left, Willie?
595
00:59:30,023 --> 00:59:34,983
259 weeks.
- That's right. Or not, Will?
596
01:00:39,231 --> 01:00:40,915
It's crooked.
597
01:00:41,631 --> 01:00:42,871
Not at all.
598
01:00:44,571 --> 01:00:46,171
Not from here. Just look.
599
01:01:15,591 --> 01:01:18,407
I dreamed about Cobham Hall.
600
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,656
Where mom worked.
601
01:01:22,177 --> 01:01:23,959
She took me along once.
602
01:01:24,527 --> 01:01:28,047
Then I saw those lions on the gateposts
what she always told me about.
603
01:01:30,220 --> 01:01:34,100
Damask tablecloths, she told me,
even in the servants' quarters.
604
01:01:35,692 --> 01:01:37,028
And silver scissors...
605
01:01:37,109 --> 01:01:40,738
just for cutting
of grape sprigs for the sideboard.
606
01:01:41,284 --> 01:01:42,628
Just imagine...
607
01:01:44,155 --> 01:01:46,888
scissors, just for grapes.
608
01:01:52,655 --> 01:01:54,715
And what if it starts to rain?
609
01:01:57,571 --> 01:01:59,415
It's not perfect...
610
01:02:00,695 --> 01:02:02,487
but it's a start.
611
01:02:02,701 --> 01:02:05,113
I can see the stars through those holes.
612
01:02:08,768 --> 01:02:12,356
Well, then we can always orient ourselves,
right, kakmadam?
613
01:03:15,038 --> 01:03:17,382
This is my home-fired poteen.
614
01:03:18,406 --> 01:03:19,570
Thank you.
615
01:03:20,670 --> 01:03:22,566
A housewarming gift.
616
01:03:29,751 --> 01:03:30,995
Take a seat.
617
01:03:33,931 --> 01:03:35,011
That...
618
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:42,203
daisies there. I call them yams.
There are few of them left.
619
01:03:42,323 --> 01:03:48,752
They're easy to weed, right?
- The blacks eat them like we eat potatoes.
620
01:03:48,909 --> 01:03:52,217
They gave me some when I got here
came for the first time. I gave them some flour.
621
01:03:52,705 --> 01:03:56,175
They are a bit lumpy, like monkey balls.
622
01:03:57,491 --> 01:04:01,891
But overall good to eat.
Sweet and melty when cooked for a while.
623
01:04:04,135 --> 01:04:08,079
When you weed them to plant your corn,
means they will go hungry.
624
01:04:11,547 --> 01:04:13,751
That's why they were so upset, Will.
625
01:04:16,295 --> 01:04:20,459
They came by when we got here.
- But we didn't see them again after that.
626
01:04:22,699 --> 01:04:25,723
Well, Mrs. Thornhill...
627
01:04:29,887 --> 01:04:32,676
You will now have to find a way yourself
to solve it.
628
01:04:33,477 --> 01:04:37,511
But remember, you can't just do that
you can appropriate everything.
629
01:04:37,931 --> 01:04:42,363
It's give and take.
It's the only way.
630
01:04:44,648 --> 01:04:47,116
Thanks for the drink, Thomas Blackwood.
631
01:04:52,428 --> 01:04:54,388
That's just how he is.
632
01:04:54,715 --> 01:04:56,931
He talks in riddles.
633
01:04:59,751 --> 01:05:01,051
Please.
634
01:05:04,055 --> 01:05:06,663
I'll wait for your mom if you want it
don't mind.
635
01:05:20,499 --> 01:05:21,743
It's that damned heat.
636
01:05:22,063 --> 01:05:24,895
My tits are bone dry
and she keeps whining.
637
01:05:30,887 --> 01:05:32,219
You're boiling hot, Sal.
638
01:05:47,046 --> 01:05:48,887
Stay on the river.
639
01:05:49,054 --> 01:05:52,303
Two bends away, that's Cat-Eye Creek,
towards Mrs Herring.
640
01:05:52,531 --> 01:05:54,471
Tell her your mother has a fever.
641
01:05:55,871 --> 01:05:56,971
Go now.
642
01:06:42,055 --> 01:06:46,175
No. Not yet.
- You should continue to breastfeed her.
643
01:06:46,395 --> 01:06:48,135
It's the only way.
644
01:06:56,035 --> 01:07:00,283
There's a doctor in Green Hills.
I'll set sail at high tide and be back before evening.
645
01:07:00,403 --> 01:07:04,143
He does nothing for those who come here
have been sent by order of His Majesty.
646
01:07:04,144 --> 01:07:06,668
Including our kind.
647
01:07:17,447 --> 01:07:20,263
Come on then, Sal.
Well done.
648
01:07:42,871 --> 01:07:46,163
It's okay, Mary. It's okay.
649
01:08:00,587 --> 01:08:02,079
The north.
650
01:08:04,131 --> 01:08:05,351
The North, Will.
651
01:08:06,555 --> 01:08:08,299
What did you say, my love?
652
01:08:09,911 --> 01:08:12,983
Bury me, lying to the north...
653
01:08:14,319 --> 01:08:15,963
where our home is.
654
01:08:17,368 --> 01:08:20,306
There will be no funeral.
Do you hear me?
655
01:08:21,938 --> 01:08:23,486
There will be no funeral.
656
01:08:41,219 --> 01:08:43,378
Lord, I never asked for much...
657
01:08:45,214 --> 01:08:48,160
not even when I actually hung up
should have been.
658
01:08:52,475 --> 01:08:54,965
Make sure Sal survives this...
659
01:08:55,935 --> 01:08:59,071
and I keep my promise to her.
I promise.
660
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:04,267
Five years and I'll take her back to London.
- Is Mom going to die?
661
01:09:10,545 --> 01:09:11,637
No...
662
01:09:13,407 --> 01:09:14,655
she won't.
663
01:09:41,696 --> 01:09:45,864
Eel. The blacks swear by it,
for women's problems.
664
01:09:49,620 --> 01:09:51,391
They're not retarded.
665
01:09:59,834 --> 01:10:04,643
Come on then. It's good for you.
- Come on, Sal. Come on.
666
01:10:09,292 --> 01:10:13,807
I used to make jelly eel
when I lived in Eastcheap, Grantley Street...
667
01:10:13,831 --> 01:10:16,713
you know, at All Hallows.
668
01:10:20,039 --> 01:10:21,226
I know it.
669
01:10:23,459 --> 01:10:26,715
Stickley's Draper around the corner.
- Indeed.
670
01:10:28,807 --> 01:10:31,987
Open your mouth. Come on.
Open your mouth.
671
01:10:34,831 --> 01:10:40,331
Well done. Just a little bit more.
Come on, just a little bit more.
672
01:10:56,793 --> 01:10:58,649
She is giving milk again.
673
01:10:58,850 --> 01:11:01,423
How long did I lie there like a sore thumb?
- Five days.
674
01:11:01,543 --> 01:11:04,495
Five days?
- I have counted the days, take a look.
675
01:11:06,269 --> 01:11:07,769
Big boys.
676
01:11:41,695 --> 01:11:43,347
Farmer Will.
677
01:12:26,063 --> 01:12:27,791
I can see you, Willie.
678
01:12:29,359 --> 01:12:30,671
I see you.
679
01:13:49,431 --> 01:13:52,723
I have a load of lime ready
for transportation. I've been waiting for a while.
680
01:13:52,843 --> 01:13:56,107
Soon, Smasher.
- Mr. Sullivan is coming to visit us.
681
01:13:56,227 --> 01:13:58,327
He has rum and oranges for us
brought along.
682
01:13:58,483 --> 01:14:01,063
Jamaican, none of that
Thomas Blackwood bend.
683
01:14:01,183 --> 01:14:03,331
Just call me Smasher, like everyone else.
684
01:14:03,551 --> 01:14:08,899
Smasher told me he was transported
because of a coffin that fell off a cart...
685
01:14:09,019 --> 01:14:12,135
and he was caught just as he was returning it
to the owner.
686
01:14:12,255 --> 01:14:15,251
But no one believes a poor slob,
Right, Thornhill?
687
01:14:15,571 --> 01:14:18,563
And I told him about our little house
in Swane Lane...
688
01:14:18,683 --> 01:14:22,291
and dad found you sleeping in his rowboat,
homeless and as thin as a stick.
689
01:14:22,411 --> 01:14:25,283
I tell you, it does a man good
to hear a story.
690
01:14:25,531 --> 01:14:28,223
It keeps you from going crazy
in this godforsaken place.
691
01:14:28,234 --> 01:14:30,406
Indeed, Smasher. Indeed.
692
01:14:30,835 --> 01:14:33,243
You make a delicious johnny cake,
Mrs. Thornhill.
693
01:14:33,363 --> 01:14:36,415
Thank you. Take off that coat
you must be sweltering.
694
01:14:38,835 --> 01:14:41,523
Have the blacks passed by yet, Thornhill?
695
01:14:42,843 --> 01:14:45,439
Just once, yes.
- Be careful.
696
01:14:45,559 --> 01:14:49,051
Stories circulate about their misdeeds
along the entire river.
697
01:14:49,171 --> 01:14:51,731
They scalped two men alive
at South Creek.
698
01:14:51,947 --> 01:14:53,787
And a child taken from its cradle...
699
01:14:53,907 --> 01:14:57,375
cut his throat and sucked him dry,
that was in Green Hills.
700
01:14:57,495 --> 01:14:59,857
Dickie, go find Willie and feed the chickens.
Go ahead.
701
01:15:00,009 --> 01:15:02,439
Mind you, I didn't see any of that myself.
702
01:15:02,559 --> 01:15:06,367
I talked to a guy who did
seen, I think. He swore it was true.
703
01:15:06,487 --> 01:15:10,271
I had heard that they were near the cow pasture
had cut open a woman...
704
01:15:10,391 --> 01:15:12,775
they had taken the baby out of the womb
and eaten.
705
01:15:12,891 --> 01:15:14,723
That's enough, Smasher.
706
01:15:17,047 --> 01:15:20,115
He still makes sure that we
become terrified.
707
01:15:20,735 --> 01:15:23,275
You don't have to worry about anything,
Mrs. Thornhill...
708
01:15:23,395 --> 01:15:25,375
as long as your husband keeps his gun nearby.
709
01:15:25,482 --> 01:15:28,271
My three barkers are ready
to shoot every black person...
710
01:15:28,371 --> 01:15:30,503
which comes near my house.
And a whip.
711
01:15:30,623 --> 01:15:34,559
A whip is very useful to have around
for the average black person.
712
01:15:34,875 --> 01:15:36,007
Dogs too.
713
01:15:36,127 --> 01:15:38,591
Winnie here, I trained her
to attack blacks.
714
01:15:38,711 --> 01:15:40,711
She is also very good at it.
Or not, girl?
715
01:15:40,831 --> 01:15:43,431
She's a beauty.
Who's a smart girl?
716
01:15:57,099 --> 01:15:59,215
Gosh, he's good at making up stories.
717
01:16:00,435 --> 01:16:03,511
The biggest bullshit I've ever heard.
Nonsense.
718
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,539
I heard it from this or that.
719
01:16:08,455 --> 01:16:10,559
But he didn't see anything himself.
720
01:16:11,375 --> 01:16:12,507
Come.
721
01:16:44,243 --> 01:16:45,911
I don't want you to go.
722
01:16:48,403 --> 01:16:52,603
I have to start making money, right?
To pay off the boat.
723
01:17:02,217 --> 01:17:03,929
Aren't you staying away too long?
724
01:17:09,969 --> 01:17:12,233
It's our life for a while.
725
01:17:20,989 --> 01:17:22,133
What is that?
726
01:17:24,687 --> 01:17:25,831
Nothing.
727
01:17:54,933 --> 01:17:57,345
Take good care of your mom, Willie.
728
01:18:28,445 --> 01:18:32,144
