1
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,280
"The world is hell,

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,400
and men are both the tormented souls

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,520
and the devils within it.'

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,440
Arthur Schopenhauer

5
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,920
Rum.

6
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,360
I'm leaving in the morning
on the Volunteer.

7
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,600
I'll give you my note of hand.

8
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Do I look like a fool?

9
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Well, then, this good knife of mine
against a tot of your rum.

10
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:20,040
Heads or tails?

11
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,240
It's a fine knife that.

12
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,280
It's not failed me yet.

13
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,800
Heads.

14
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,520
Aye, it's a fine knife.

15
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,720
I'll thank you for this.

16
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Now, get the fuck out of my bar.

17
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Toss again.

18
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,960
I don't want your boots.

19
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,040
You have my knife.

20
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,240
You can't back away now.

21
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,320
I don't want your bloody stinking boots.

22
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,920
I'll say it one more time,
you can't back away now.

23
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,200
I'll do what the bloody hell I like.

24
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,840
Here!

25
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,040
I'll buy you a drink myself,
if you shut the fuck up.

26
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Well, I thank you for it.

27
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,560
I've been whoring all morning
and the whistle's dry.

28
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
- I'll take that for you, sir.
- Thank you.

29
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760
- Careful, careful.
- I have it.

30
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,840
- Come on, lads. Bring it down.
- All right, so...

31
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,360
This is the ward room.

32
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,160
- That's it. Yep.
- That's Mr. McKendrick there.

33
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,120
And here is you.

34
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,640
I'll put your trunk on your bed.

35
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,480
I'm Joseph Hannah.

36
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,480
If you need anything, just call for me.

37
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,840
Don't worry. Your trunk will be safe.
The captain's waiting for you in there.

38
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,600
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

39
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,800
- Yeah?
- Mr. Sumner.

40
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Come in.

41
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,920
I hear you were injured out in India.

42
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Yes.

43
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,720
Shot by a sepoy musket ball
on the first day of the assault.

44
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,320
My shinbone bore the brunt.

45
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,400
But I'm totally recovered now, though.
Not even a limp.

46
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,040
I'm glad to hear it.

47
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Tell me, did you see Nicholson killed?

48
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,360
No.

49
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,240
But I did see his body afterwards
on the ridge.

50
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Extraordinary man, Nicholson.

51
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,080
A great hero.

52
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,600
You know, I heard
he sliced a Pandy clean in half

53
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,560
with one swing of his sword,
like cutting a cucumber.

54
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360
He had a Pashtun bodyguard.

55
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,360
Big, enormous sod named Khan.

56
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,360
He slept outside his tent to protect him.

57
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,360
The rumor was the two of them were...

58
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,400
sweethearts.

59
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:40,000
Nothing but jealousy.

60
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,000
Thank you.

61
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,080
If it weren't for men like Nicholson,
the Empire would have been lost long ago

62
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,480
and then where would we be?

63
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,640
I saw him hang a man once
just for smiling at him.

64
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,480
The poor bugger wasn't even smiling.

65
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440
Well, lines must be drawn, Mr. Sumner.

66
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,600
Surely you agree

67
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,080
that civilized standards
must be maintained?

68
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,320
Sometimes we must meet fire with fire.

69
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,280
They killed women and children,
raped them,

70
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,080
slashed their tiny little throats.

71
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,960
Doesn't a thing like that
require righteous vengeance?

72
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Oh, there was
a good deal of that going on.

73
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Yes, sir. Yes, indeed.

74
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,160
So, tell me.

75
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Why did you quit the 61st and leave India?

76
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,400
I know it wasn't your leg.

77
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,320
A surgeon isn't in need of two good legs.

78
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,800
Not the leg, no.

79
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Well, then what?

80
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Well, eight months ago,
my uncle Donal died

81
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,560
and left me his dairy farm
over in County Mayo.

82
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,520
It's worth enough to buy me a pretty
little house in a respectable practice

83
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240
somewhere quiet, but wealthy.

84
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Scarborough. Hastings.

85
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,240
I do like a promenade, you see.

86
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,160
So why aren't you attending
to the ailments of little old widows,

87
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840
instead of sitting here with me?

88
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960
A famous Irish landowner like yourself.

89
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Legal complications.

90
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,640
Mysterious cousins
crept out of the woodwork.

91
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,280
Counterclaimants, if you will.

92
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,880
It's always the way.

93
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,440
I'm told the case
could take another year to be resolved.

94
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Until then I have nothing to do
with myself, nor any money to do it with.

95
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,200
I was passing through Liverpool
on my way back to the lawyers in Dublin

96
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,960
when I ran into your Mr. Baxter
at the bar of the Adelphi Hotel.

97
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,760
We got to talking

98
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,280
and when he learnt that I was an ex-army
surgeon in need of gainful employment,

99
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
he put two and two together
and made a four.

100
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Fierce operator, that Baxter.

101
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Well, I'm not expecting
the whaling will make me rich,

102
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,840
but it will keep me occupied, at least,

103
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,960
while the cogs of justice turn.

104
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,560
Oh, we'll find use for you,
one way or the other.

105
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Though you potions don't really
make a great deal of difference.

106
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Oh, I mean no offense, Captain,

107
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,680
but... potions...

108
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,160
doctors tend to adhere to science,

109
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,560
not witchcraft or superstition.

110
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,640
You'll find the men on board this ship
have very little use for science.

111
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Either way, I should examine
the medicine chest.

112
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
There may be one or two items
I need to add...

113
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,680
replace, replenish.

114
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,960
There's a chest stowed in your cabin

115
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,440
and there's an apothecary
on Clifford Street.

116
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,120
Get whatever you need from them
and tell them to send the bill to Baxter.

117
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,400
Mr. Baxter won't like that much,
I imagine.

118
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,400
Bugger Baxter.

119
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,080
You don't sound much like an Irishman.

120
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,160
Well, I've been here most of my life.

121
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,080
I'm more of an Englishman now.

122
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Is that right?

123
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Yes, Captain.

124
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,880
You know what people call us whalers?

125
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,560
They say we're...

126
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,440
refugees from civilization.

127
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Well, that sounds very appealing to me.

128
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,640
Sure.

129
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,760
But you'd be wise to remember
that at some point you have to return.

130
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Welcome aboard, Mr. Sumner.

131
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,040
Thank you.

132
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,400
Well...

133
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Thanks again, Captain Brownlee.

134
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,320
Spirit of Squills?

135
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,640
What was the last surgeon?
A fucking druid?

136
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,160
But I will make sure you have
a ready supply of laudanum for the pain.

137
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,600
That will help with your frame of mind,
too, I'm assured of it.

138
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,240
- Hello.
- Hi there.

139
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Please.

140
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,160
Has Baxter seen this?

141
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,120
You think I'd trouble Baxter with this?

142
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,920
He'll be troubled
when he sees this bloody bill!

143
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,600
I know Baxter.
He's a right tight-fisted bastard.

144
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,840
Just... fill the order, please.

145
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Well, I can't let you
have all that laudanum.

146
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Why not?

147
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,680
If I do, I won't get paid for it.

148
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,680
You can have the regular allowance.

149
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,000
Do you do all these yourself, then?

150
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,160
Oh, aye.

151
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,800
I'm... I'm the best taxidermist in town.

152
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,680
You can ask anyone.

153
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,680
What's the biggest beast
you've ever stuffed?

154
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,400
I mean, the very biggest.
I want the truth.

155
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,800
I've done a walrus.

156
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Oh, aye.

157
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,600
I've done a polar bear, too.

158
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,000
- You've stuffed a bear?
- I have.

159
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Now then...

160
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,160
that is something I would like to see.

161
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Aye. Did it for your Mr. Baxter.

162
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,360
What I did was I set him up

163
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,880
on his hindmost legs

164
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,080
with his vicious claws
raking the frigid air.

165
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,360
Like this. Look.

166
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,240
Would you ever stuff a whale?

167
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Whale can't be stuffed!

168
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600
I mean, apart from the size,
it'd putrefy.

169
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Why don't we change the name on this?

170
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,640
Change this to absinthe or calomel.

171
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480
We already... we already got calomel.

172
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Oh, yes. Well, absinthe, then.

173
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,120
I tell you what,

174
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200
we could put blue vitriol.

175
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280
Surgeons use a good amount of that.

176
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Blue vitriol it is.

177
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Right.

178
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,520
You!

179
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Over here.

180
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840
Get me a plate of mussels
from the fishmonger's on Bourne Street.

181
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Bourne Street. You understand?

182
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,760
I don't wanna
be shitting myself to Greenland.

183
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,720
You like that?

184
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,760
Buy me another drink.

185
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,040
Fuck off.

186
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080
One more drink.
That'll be the last you'll hear of it.

187
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,200
I'd sooner cut your fucking balls off
than buy you another drink.

188
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Could cut your nose off, too.

189
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,040
Feed it to the porkers out back.

190
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,000
I want you gone.

191
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,320
Fucking...!

192
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,160
You can stick that shillelagh
up your fucking arse!

193
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,640
God!

194
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Fucking hell!

195
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:08,440
Rum, please.

196
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,600
You got money?

197
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,880
Yes.

198
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,400
Right.

199
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,680
I don't want any trouble.

200
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,440
I don't want any trouble, either.

201
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,600
There you go.

202
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,320
After all that has beset me...

203
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,120
all the betrayal and humiliation...

204
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,440
all the disgrace...

205
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,720
the death of my parents from typhus,

206
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,680
the death of my protector
William Harper from the drink.

207
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,640
My many efforts misdirected or abandoned.

208
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,360
My many plans gone awry.

209
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,960
Who are you?

210
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000
Yet even after India I am still alive.

211
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,360
Still intact.

212
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,680
Still breathing.

213
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,640
It is true that I am nothing now.

214
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Just a surgeon on a Yorkshire whaler.

215
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,360
But isn't to be nothing,
if looked at from a different angle,

216
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,880
not to be anything at all.

217
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Then not lost as such, but at liberty.

218
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,960
Finally free.

219
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,880
Black was the night and cold was the day

220
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,880
For who I should see there

221
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,280
But one of my shipmates

222
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,000
Wrapped in a blanket

223
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,720
Far colder than clay

224
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,720
As I was a-walking
down by the Royal Albert

225
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,960
Black was the night and cold was the day

226
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,120
Who should I see there
but one of my shipmates

227
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Wrapped in a blanket

228
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,200
Far colder than clay...

229
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,640
Likewise a candle to light him to bed

230
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,800
His poor heart was breaking

231
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,480
His poor head was aching

232
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,640
For he's a young sailor

233
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Cut down in his prime

234
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,600
Corner the street
you will see two girls standing

235
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,360
One to the other did whisper and say

236
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Here comes the young sailor

237
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,720
Whose money we'll squander

238
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Here comes the young sailor

239
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Cur down in his prime

240
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,520
You make a noise and I'll slice you open
like a fucking codfish.

241
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
This bastard should have bought me
another fucking drink.

242
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,560
We need to move this bastard now
or I'll be in the shit.

243
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,080
So move him.

244
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,160
I ain't moving him!

245
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,000
You did this, you move him!

246
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,600
You're a strong fellow, aren't you?

247
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,880
They can find him tomorrow.
I'll be gone by then.

248
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,280
Why don't you give us a shilling or two?
For all the trouble you've caused.

249
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,360
Get out!

250
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Now!

251
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,120
Yes.

252
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,600
What do you make of our Paddy surgeon?

253
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,240
Did you see what I got him for?

254
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,360
Two pounds a month and a shilling a ton.

255
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,920
That's a record near enough.

256
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,440
Do you believe his dead-uncle story
and the inheritance?

257
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Of course not. Complete hogwash.

258
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
He's not the skillful liar he thinks he
iS.

259
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,440
Do you think he's been cashiered?

260
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Well, if he has been, so what?

261
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,440
What do they dismiss you for
over there now anyways?

262
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Cheating at bridge?

263
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Drinking too much gin?

264
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Buggering the bugle boy?

265
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,000
He'll... he'll do for us.

266
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,400
Can't wait to see what gaggle of shitheads

267
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,360
you've got waiting for me up in Lerwick.

268
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,680
All good men.
Shetlanders, hard workers, biddable.

269
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,400
Aye.

270
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,200
It doesn't make up for Cavendish.

271
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
It's a bad choice making him first mate.

272
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Cavendish is a great turd and
a whoremonger, true, but we need him.

273
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,520
You should know I aim to fill the hold.

274
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,920
Fill it with what exactly?

275
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,440
More blubber than anyone's ever seen
for many a long year.

276
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,160
Yeah, you don't have
to prove yourself to me, Arthur.

277
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,120
- I know what you are.
- I'm a whaling man.

278
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,600
And a damn fine one,
but what would be the point?

279
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,080
The problem we have,
it's not you, it's not me, it's history.

280
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,160
History.

281
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,480
I don't ask
that you bury your instincts, Arthur.

282
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,120
But you cannot fuck this up.

283
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,240
Don't misremember what we're up to here.

284
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,680
It's not a question of pride.

285
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,040
Not yours and not mine.

286
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,920
And it's definitely
not about the fucking fish.

287
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,640
Twelve-thousand pounds, Arthur.

288
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,720
That's a considerable heap of money.

289
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,200
A great deal more

290
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,000
than you'll ever hope to make
from killing whales.

291
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,800
And only Cavendish knows?

292
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:22,920
Yes. Keep it that way.

293
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,160
And what about Drax?

294
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,320
Keep him close and if the time comes
you can call on him.

295
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,000
And you can assure me that Captain Morwood
will be there to take me men?

296
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,480
The Hastings will be there.

297
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,560
I can't risk a repeat of the Percival.

298
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,440
He'll be there, Arthur.
Morwood will be there.

299
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
He knows if this goes well,
he's next in line.

300
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,920
And this is what it's come to.

301
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Twelve-thousand pounds
to sink a fine ship.

302
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,520
It's the money, Arthur.

303
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:52,800
That's all it is.

304
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,600
The money does what it wants to.

305
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,480
It doesn't care what we prefer.

306
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,840
Block off one passageway

307
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:01,400
and it carves a new one.

308
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,040
I can't control the money, Arthur.

309
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,360
I can't tell it what to do.

310
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
Or where to go next.

311
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,360
I wish I could.

312
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,400
Well, you better pray there's enough ice
up there to make this believable.

313
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:22,160
If there's one man alive,
who has the true knack of finding it,

314
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,640
I believe it's you.

315
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,680
Ready the gaffs!

316
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,200
Yes, Captain! Ready the gaffs!

317
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,640
- Ready the gaffs!
- Aye, Mr. Cavendish.

318
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,880
- Cavendish?
- Aye-aye, Captain.

319
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,240
Ready the foresail!

320
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Yes, Captain! Ready the foresail!

321
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,560
- Ready the foresail!
- All right, Mr. Jones.

322
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:04,360
Set the foresail!

323
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,640
Aye, Mr. Cavendish!

324
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,120
- Cavendish!
- Yes, Captain?

325
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Set the gaffs!

326
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,200
Aye-aye, Captain.

327
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Set the gaffs!

328
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Captain.

329
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,120
"We men are wretched things

330
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,400
and the Gods who have no cares themselves

331
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,520
have woven sorrows
into the very patterns of our lives."

332
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Cavendish.

333
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,160
Can I help you?

334
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,880
- What are you doing?
- Reading.

335
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,480
- What?
- Homer.

336
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,080
So we have an intellectual on board?

337
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920
I wonder how he'll cope
with us rough brutes of the sea.

338
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,560
Do you need me for something?

339
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Do you have
some sort of ailment or affliction?

340
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,280
Of course not. Strong as a walrus.

341
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,880
No, I came to tell you
that once we get to Lerwick,

342
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,920
a few of us plan to test
the achievements of the local distillery.

343
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,520
So far there is my second mate Jones.
He's a cool customer.

344
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,680
Claims to only drink ginger beer
and then...

345
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,760
What has this got to do with me?

346
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,520
We're inviting you to join us, of course.

347
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,800
I'll see you on deck.

348
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,280
LERWICK, SHETLAND ISLANDS

349
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Here's our surgeon!

350
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,440
Mr. Sumner, this is Jones.

351
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,600
- Welcome.
- Thank you.

352
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,560
And over there is our master harpooner,
Mr. Henry Drax.

353
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,440
Pleased to make your acquaintance.

354
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,400
As you'll soon discover,
Drax is a man of few words.

355
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Please.

356
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,480
First time in Lerwick?

357
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,200
- Yes.
- You'll find it a backwards place.

358
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,400
And thank God for that!

359
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,840
A decent drink and a good, wet
slice of pussy is all a man needs

360
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,560
before he embarks
on the bloody work of whaling.

361
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Fortunately, those are the only
two products that Lerwick excels in.

362
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,720
If it's whiskey and women
that you're after,

363
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,440
you're certainly in the right town.

364
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800
I feel fortunate
to have such experienced guides.

365
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,040
You are fortunate.

366
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,200
Here, Drax, what do you say
we show our surgeon

367
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,280
the ins and outs of this elegant town?

368
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Well... the cheapest whiskey is sixpence.

369
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,000
A decent whore, a shilling, possibly two,
if your requirements are more specialized.

370
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,360
See what I mean?

371
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,560
Man of few words.

372
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,200
I want a woman to fuck
and I don't care what she looks like.

373
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Excuse me, gents.

374
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,720
One ginger beer, please, sir.

375
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,480
- Mr. Sumner, what would you like to drink?
- Ale, please, my boy.

376
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,440
- And an ale.
- Thank you.

377
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Come on, then, you Scottish beauty!

378
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Sure you don't wanna partake
in Lerwick's finest?

379
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,120
No.

380
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,240
No, I believe a good surgeon
is in need of some ethics.

381
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,120
Either that or I do not wish to set sail
with a dose of the clap.

382
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,560
Can I ask you a question?

383
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,560
What are you doing on the Volunteer?

384
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,800
- What do you mean?
- Well...

385
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,880
The job of a surgeon on a whaling vessel
doesn't seem fit for you.

386
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,240
Someone so experience from what I hear.

387
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,640
And what have you heard?

388
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Not a great deal,
but usually a ship's surgeon

389
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,640
is taken by a medical student
in need of funds,

390
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,040
not a man like you.

391
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Perhaps I am an incurable eccentric.

392
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,480
Or just a fool.

393
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,480
I doubt either is true.

394
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,000
To tell you the truth,
I was after a change.

395
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,560
What, you mean running away?

396
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,240
No, Baxter made me an offer
and I accepted it.

397
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Perhaps that was rash of me, but
now I'm looking forward to the experience.

398
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,120
I intend to keep a journal,

399
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,400
make sketches, read.

400
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,760
The boys may not be
as relaxed as you think.

401
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Captain's got a great deal to prove.

402
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,760
- Did you hear of the Percival?
- Yeah, what of it?

403
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,240
It was Brownlee's last command.

404
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,160
Went down three years ago.
Crushed to matchwood by a berg.

405
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Eight men drowned
and even more perished of cold.

406
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,880
None that survived even made a sixpence.

407
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,400
Sounds like the kind of misfortune
that could happen to anybody.

408
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,520
Aye, yeah, but it happened to Brownlee,
didn't it? No one else.

409
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240
And a captain that unfortunate
doesn't get another ship.

410
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,560
So you have to ask,
how come he gets another command?

411
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,960
Baxter must trust him, I'd say.

412
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,280
I guess he must.

413
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,440
So why are you here?

414
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,080
I've got a plan: Five years from now,
with my share of luck,

415
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,480
I'll have my own command.

416
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,880
And you think a plan helps a man?

417
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,360
Men like me need a plan.

418
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,880
That's the God's truth of it.

419
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:55,880
Hey!

420
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,440
Mr. Jones.

421
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Whiskey mind.

422
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Cheers. Cheers, lads.

423
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:03,520
How was she?

424
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,560
Well, I've had worse for a shilling.

425
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,880
I bet you have.

426
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,160
Oh, they're from Zembla!

427
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:22,800
Our Mr. Jones over there
is a smug little prick!

428
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,120
He has a plan.

429
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,000
Fuck his plan.

430
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,680
He wants his own ship,
but he won't get it.

431
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,440
He has no idea what's going on here.

432
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,080
Which is?

433
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,480
Oh, nothing much.

434
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,160
I heard all about Delhi.

435
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,920
I heard there was money to be made.
Loot aplenty. Did you get anything?

436
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,120
No.

437
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,760
The Pandies had cleaned out the whole city
before we got in.

438
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,240
All that was left was broken furniture
and stray dogs.

439
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,560
The place was totally ransacked.

440
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,400
No stolen gold, then? No jewels?

441
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Do you think I'd be sat here talking
to you pair of bastards if I was rich?

442
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,160
- Well, there's rich and then there's rich.
- And I am neither.

443
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,280
You saw some famous butchery,
though, I bet.

444
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,920
Some heinous fucking violence.

445
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,760
- I'm a surgeon.
- So?

446
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,080
I'm not impressed by bloodshed.

447
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,200
Not impressed?

448
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,600
Surprised then, if you like. Surprised.

449
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,720
I'm not surprised by bloodshed.
Not anymore.

450
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,920
I'm not too surprised
by bloodshed, neither.

451
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,720
Mr. Cavendish, are you surprised?

452
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,280
No, not too often. I generally find I can
take a little bloodshed in my stride.

453
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,160
Hold this.

454
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,480
Watch that for me.

455
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,880
Oh, shit. Not again. Where's Jones?
We're gonna need help.

456
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,680
We're fucking rich, Paddy.

457
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,960
We're fucking rich!

458
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,200
Look out!

459
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,440
Who are you?

460
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,240
Who are you?

461
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,240
Pani.

462
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,720
Pani.

463
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,680
Water, please. Please.

464
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:14,040
Pani.

465
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,560
- Pani.
- Pani?

466
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,880
Yes. Water. Yes.

467
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,400
Yes, please.

468
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,040
Do not tell anybody I'm here.

469
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Do you understand me?

470
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,320
Do not tell anybody I'm here.

471
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,080
- Pani?
- Pani.

472
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,200
Here he is.

473
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,760
What are you doing?

474
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,600
Michael?

475
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,280
Oh, fuck.

476
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,760
Here. Hold this.

477
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,000
Nothing but shite.

478
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:34,360
Opium pipe. My, my.

479
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,760
Hello there.

480
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,040
You need to learn to read.

481
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,320
Fuck off.

482
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,160
Army discharge papers.

483
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,360
He's been court-martialed.

484
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,720
No pension. Out on his ear.

485
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,360
- For what?
- Don't say.

486
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,480
Give that... Just let me...

487
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:32,480
Paste.

488
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,360
Must be.

489
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,040
Let me have a look, will you?

490
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Shit, it's deep.

491
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,080
You lying little bastard.

492
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,040
This is stolen Hindu loot.

493
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,160
Good stuff, too.

494
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,160
Why not sell it on?

495
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,160
It makes him feel safer.

496
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:08,960
Safer?

497
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,640
Loot like that could get a man in trouble.

498
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,520
And a whaling voyage...

499
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,240
it's full of dangers.

500
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,240
A few among us will not come home alive.
That's a simple fact.

501
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,960
If ever a man perishes
while on board or on the ice,

502
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,800
it is the appointed task of the first mate

503
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,880
to auction off his possessions
for the sake of the poor widow,

504
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,800
not that this ugly sod will have a wife.

505
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,040
But not yet.

506
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,440
- Not in Lerwick.
- Fuck, no. Not yet.

507
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,120
I don't mean yet.

508
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Put everything back as it was.

509
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,640
Do you think Brownlee knows?

510
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,520
No one knows, but us.

511
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,600
Oh, I don't trust myself. I don't
trust the boat, either. Here we go!

512
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Fuck me!

513
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,400
Oh, not again! Here we go again!

514
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,120
Thank you, Lord, Mary and Joseph,

515
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,520
for looking after me on these seas.

516
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,360
Good morning.

517
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,440
- Mr. Sumner.
- Mr. Sumner.

518
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:09,600
Mr. Sumner.

519
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,000
Make fast on that.

520
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,160
I'm Otto.

521
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,600
Harpooner.

522
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:37,840
Patrick Sumner.

523
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:39,560
I'm the surgeon.

524
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,400
I know.

525
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,560
So when can I expect our first whale hunt?

526
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,240
Not until we pass the Cape.

527
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,320
Seals come first.

528
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,120
- I see.
- Poor bastards.

529
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,960
I've been reading
a lot of William Scoresbury.

530
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,120
He says the Greenland whale
can hold a boatful of men in its mouth.

531
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,080
Yeah, I guess it's true.

532
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,720
But she's a timid fish.

533
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,320
Playful. Slow.

534
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:06,600
Makes her easy to catch.

535
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,040
Dangerous, the flukes.

536
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,120
Could split you in half.

537
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,960
There will be bears, too, apparently?

538
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Oh, yeah.

539
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:24,040
There will be bears.

540
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,440
He doesn't know.

541
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,880
He's got no idea.

542
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,240
Look at him.

543
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,920
He's got no chance.
Not once we hit the ice.

544
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,760
Oh, we'd be all right

545
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,680
If the wind was in our sails

546
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,880
Oh, we'd be all right

547
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,800
If the wind was in our sails

548
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,960
Oh, we'd be all right

549
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,960
If the wind was in our sails

550
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,480
And we'll all hang on behind

551
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,240
And we'll roll your chariot along

552
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,240
We'll roll your chariot along

553
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,400
We'll roll your chariot along

554
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,960
And we'll all hang on behind

555
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,760
And we'll roll your chariot along

556
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,880
We'll roll your chariot along
