3
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:04,203
There, sir.
4
00:01:12,376 --> 00:01:14,803
Make way, there!
5
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:24,720
Excuse me.
6
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,742
Mr Talbot!
7
00:02:05,814 --> 00:02:08,383
Mr Talbot!
8
00:02:16,504 --> 00:02:18,348
What is this stink?!
9
00:02:18,378 --> 00:02:21,438
Stink, sir? Lord, sir,
you'll get used to that.
10
00:02:21,468 --> 00:02:25,752
I do not wish to get used to it.
Where's the captain of this vessel?
11
00:02:25,782 --> 00:02:28,994
Captain Anderson can do
nothing about the stink, sir.
12
00:02:29,024 --> 00:02:32,295
It's sand and gravel you see.
The new ships has iron ballast,
13
00:02:32,325 --> 00:02:34,918
but she's fifty years old, sir.
14
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,895
Mind your head, now, sir ...
15
00:02:56,487 --> 00:02:58,027
Good God...
16
00:03:01,372 --> 00:03:04,644
- Curious warship, Wheeler.
- Warship, sir?
17
00:03:04,674 --> 00:03:07,808
It's a passenger ship, a mail coach,
a storeroom, a farm...
18
00:03:07,838 --> 00:03:11,612
We have to have something to
eat for the next six months.
19
00:03:11,642 --> 00:03:14,696
It's only a warship if we
should meet the Frenchy.
20
00:03:14,726 --> 00:03:18,868
Will she make it to Australia?
21
00:03:20,459 --> 00:03:23,315
She'll float till she sinks, Mr. Talbot.
22
00:03:23,345 --> 00:03:26,181
I'll fetch you a brandy, sir.
23
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:34,109
I am onboard the ship at last
24
00:03:34,139 --> 00:03:37,358
I must confess the thing's not
as I had expected.
25
00:03:37,388 --> 00:03:40,100
Why an ancient ship of the line
such as this one has been
26
00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:42,146
transformed into a passenger conveyance
27
00:03:42,176 --> 00:03:45,321
is only to be explained by
the straits the Admiralty are in
28
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:49,206
with more than 600 warships in commission.
29
00:03:49,236 --> 00:03:52,447
But your Lordship is well aware
of the... ways of the Admiralty.
30
00:03:52,477 --> 00:03:55,550
How else would you have secured
my passage or the position
31
00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:59,227
that awaits me in the Governor's
office, on arrival at Sidney
32
00:04:00,215 --> 00:04:04,712
You, my honoured godfather, have
set my foot on the ladder... and
33
00:04:04,742 --> 00:04:07,912
and however high I climb -
for I must warn your lordship
34
00:04:07,942 --> 00:04:09,604
that my ambition is boundless-
35
00:04:09,634 --> 00:04:14,032
I shall never forget who's kindly
hand first helped me upwards.
36
00:04:15,158 --> 00:04:17,356
On the cot, there.
37
00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:20,831
And be careful!
38
00:04:21,943 --> 00:04:25,245
You've asked me to use my
time aboard the ship wisely
39
00:04:25,275 --> 00:04:27,454
and conceal nothing in this journal.
40
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:32,022
And report back on the activities
of some of my fellow passengers
41
00:04:33,072 --> 00:04:35,695
I've yet to encounter Mr. Prettiman,
the radical.
42
00:04:35,725 --> 00:04:38,632
I suppose that he is somewhere onboard.
43
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:53,868
We've cast off, sir.
The next dry land will be Australia.
44
00:04:53,898 --> 00:04:56,885
Perhaps I could have a word
with the captain
45
00:04:56,915 --> 00:04:58,517
about a more spacious cabin.
46
00:04:58,547 --> 00:05:01,212
If you take my advice, sir,
you'll stay here a while.
47
00:05:01,242 --> 00:05:04,210
Forgive me Wheeler, I'm not
feeling quite the thing.
48
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,863
Nothing to be ashamed of, sir.
49
00:05:05,893 --> 00:05:09,712
Even the late Lord Nelson suffered
famously from the 'mal de mer'.
50
00:05:56,041 --> 00:05:59,485
It'll help you sleep, sir.
51
00:06:44,277 --> 00:06:45,948
Wheeler!
52
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:51,035
Wheeler!
53
00:08:31,837 --> 00:08:34,283
Can I fetch you another
draught of the paregoric sir?
54
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:36,122
I believe you found it
to be very settling.
55
00:08:36,152 --> 00:08:39,940
It is. It stroke most efficiently.
What are its properties?
56
00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:41,793
Opium, sir.
57
00:08:53,746 --> 00:08:57,969
- What are you doing, Wheeler?
- It is but learning to ride a ship, sir.
58
00:09:39,964 --> 00:09:41,261
Good day, sir.
59
00:09:44,705 --> 00:09:48,935
- I said: 'good day to you, sir'!
- Lieutenant Cumbershum!
60
00:09:53,972 --> 00:09:56,686
Who the devil is this?!
61
00:09:56,716 --> 00:09:58,713
Have you not read my Standing Orders?
62
00:09:58,743 --> 00:10:03,768
My name is Edmund Talbot, Captain.
I carry letters from my godfather.
63
00:10:09,754 --> 00:10:14,333
I have much regard for your...
his lordship.
64
00:10:19,081 --> 00:10:23,114
- I trust that you are comfortable, Mr...
- Talbot.
65
00:10:25,696 --> 00:10:29,959
- What is our position, Captain?
- We are still in the Channel, Mr Talbot.
66
00:10:30,692 --> 00:10:35,534
And as such the rule is that passengers
come to the quarterdeck by invitation only.
67
00:10:35,564 --> 00:10:39,703
Oh ... in your case I would
hope to see more of you.
68
00:11:04,715 --> 00:11:08,475
- We are now in finer weather, sir.
- What the devil is this now?!
69
00:11:08,505 --> 00:11:10,592
Ah, Captain Anderson, may I
take this opportunity to....
70
00:11:10,622 --> 00:11:14,512
No, no, no! Passengers come to
the quarterdeck by invitation!
71
00:11:14,542 --> 00:11:16,969
I'm not accustomed to these
interruptions in my work, sir.
72
00:11:16,999 --> 00:11:21,993
Go forward if you please.
Keep to the leeward!
73
00:11:22,023 --> 00:11:24,475
Leeward, sir?
74
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:28,840
Please convey my sincere apologies to the...
75
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:31,020
Do you wish to subvert all my officers, sir?!
76
00:11:31,050 --> 00:11:33,307
- There is some mistake...
- Are you aware of the powers
77
00:11:33,337 --> 00:11:35,546
of the captain on his own ship?
78
00:11:35,576 --> 00:11:37,028
You're a nuisance, sir!
79
00:11:37,058 --> 00:11:40,394
Put aboard without a note to me.
I'm shown more courtesy over
80
00:11:40,424 --> 00:11:42,902
a bale or a keg!
- My sincere apologies, Captain.
81
00:11:42,932 --> 00:11:44,918
I did you the courtesy to
suppose you could read.
82
00:11:44,948 --> 00:11:47,005
Read, Captain Anderson? Of course I can read.
83
00:11:47,035 --> 00:11:50,883
Then you have my orders.
My Standing Orders!
84
00:11:50,913 --> 00:11:54,094
A paper prominently displayed
near your quarters and
85
00:11:54,124 --> 00:11:57,139
those of the other passengers.
Read it!
86
00:11:57,169 --> 00:11:59,197
My attention was not drawn
to such a paper, sir.
87
00:11:59,227 --> 00:12:00,482
By Christ!!
88
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:03,020
Am I to be out faced on my
own deck again and again
89
00:12:03,050 --> 00:12:04,948
by every ignorant landsman?
90
00:12:04,978 --> 00:12:07,661
Am I, sir? Tell me!!
91
00:12:07,691 --> 00:12:10,984
Read my orders! And when you have
read them, learn them by heart!
92
00:12:11,014 --> 00:12:13,535
Come sir, you treat me
like a schoolboy!
93
00:12:13,565 --> 00:12:16,656
I will treat you like a schoolboy
if I choose sir!
94
00:12:16,686 --> 00:12:19,851
or have you flogged,
if I choose, sir!
95
00:12:19,881 --> 00:12:23,457
or have you clapped in irons
if I choose. Sir!
96
00:12:23,487 --> 00:12:27,043
Or have you flogged by the
gratings if I choose, sir!
97
00:12:27,073 --> 00:12:31,702
Or have you hanged by
the yardarm if I choose, sir!
98
00:12:47,793 --> 00:12:51,326
- The whole ship must have heard him.
- Parsons you see, Mr Talbot.
99
00:12:51,356 --> 00:12:54,030
Don't commonly have them
in the navy, sir.
100
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:56,542
Not enough of them to go around.
101
00:12:56,572 --> 00:12:59,594
But law requires one aboard every
ship of the line, does it not?
102
00:12:59,624 --> 00:13:02,614
Captain Anderson would wish to avoid it.
- Come, come, Wheeler.
103
00:13:02,644 --> 00:13:05,313
Are not seamen notoriously superstitious?
104
00:13:05,343 --> 00:13:07,768
You don't require the occasional
invocation of mumbo jumbo?
105
00:13:07,798 --> 00:13:10,320
Captain Anderson does not, sir.
106
00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:13,177
Nor did the great Captain Cook, I believe.
107
00:13:13,207 --> 00:13:15,167
He was a notable atheist
108
00:13:15,197 --> 00:13:18,461
and would have sooner taken the
plague into his ship as a parson.
109
00:13:18,490 --> 00:13:22,248
- Good God!
- Mr Colley is a passenger. Nothing more.
110
00:13:22,613 --> 00:13:24,021
Come!
111
00:13:24,335 --> 00:13:27,071
Mr Summers' compliments to Mr Talbot.
112
00:13:27,101 --> 00:13:29,423
Will Mr Talbot take a glass of wine
with him in the passengers' saloon?
113
00:13:29,453 --> 00:13:31,888
- Mr Summers?
- The first lieutenant, sir.
114
00:13:32,536 --> 00:13:35,679
He's second in charge to
the captain, is he not?
115
00:13:36,602 --> 00:13:40,636
Tell Mr Summers I'll be happy to
wait on him in 10 minutes time.
116
00:13:57,659 --> 00:13:59,335
Mr Talbot.
117
00:13:59,365 --> 00:14:02,713
Do you find your accommodation
commodious, Mr Pike?
118
00:14:02,743 --> 00:14:04,268
Well, uh ... well...
119
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:09,403
Mr Talbot? Lieutenant Summers.
120
00:14:10,264 --> 00:14:11,915
How are you finding the motion?
121
00:14:11,945 --> 00:14:15,518
Well, my servant tells me
I must learn to ride the ship.
122
00:14:15,895 --> 00:14:19,227
I see you are managing.
Lt Deverel, Mr Talbot.
123
00:14:20,038 --> 00:14:23,542
Mr Summers. Would you mind just
clarifying something for us?
124
00:14:23,572 --> 00:14:25,017
Excuse me, gentlemen.
125
00:14:25,046 --> 00:14:27,599
- Mr Edmund Talbot, I believe.
- Yes, indeed.
126
00:14:27,629 --> 00:14:29,872
Who hunts with the Shropshire Fieldings.
127
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:31,279
The very same!
128
00:14:31,309 --> 00:14:35,229
Delighted to make your acquaintance, sir.
Bates! Drink for Mr Talbot.
129
00:14:35,259 --> 00:14:36,989
Thank you, sir.
130
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:41,186
- Your health.
- And yours.
131
00:14:43,221 --> 00:14:49,409
Do you mind my asking -your scar-
was it delivered by a French sword?
132
00:14:49,439 --> 00:14:53,349
A Frenchy indeed tried to split
my skull, sir. But my head
133
00:14:53,379 --> 00:14:55,663
proved harder than his steel.
134
00:14:57,020 --> 00:15:00,864
- Mr Talbot. Have you met Miss Granham?
- I don't believe I have.
135
00:15:00,894 --> 00:15:02,799
...but surely games are not altered
in themselves by the
136
00:15:03,486 --> 00:15:05,982
nature of the place
in which they are played.
137
00:15:06,012 --> 00:15:09,813
I'm very happy to hear you say so.
I've seen cards played
138
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:11,471
in queer places, I can tell you.
139
00:15:11,501 --> 00:15:16,596
I would expect some knowledge of whist
as necessary to a young lady.
140
00:15:16,626 --> 00:15:19,923
Always provided she has the wit
to lose prettily.
141
00:15:19,953 --> 00:15:24,034
There are many hours of innocent
enjoyment to be afforded by the cards.
142
00:15:24,166 --> 00:15:27,585
Miss Granham, may I introduce Mr Talbot?
143
00:15:27,615 --> 00:15:30,193
I hope ma'am that at sometime
during our long voyage
144
00:15:30,223 --> 00:15:33,060
I should have the benefit of your instruction.
145
00:15:33,665 --> 00:15:37,006
Instruction, Mr Talbot?
146
00:15:37,036 --> 00:15:41,293
How clever of you to have
discovered that I am a governess.
147
00:15:41,413 --> 00:15:42,527
Why, ma'am...
148
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:47,623
Yours is most necessary and
gentile profession open to a lady.
149
00:15:47,653 --> 00:15:50,975
I'm willing to bet you're as secure
in the affections of your young
150
00:15:51,005 --> 00:15:53,860
ladies and gentlemen as old Dobbie...
151
00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:56,235
Miss Dobson remains in mine.
152
00:15:56,265 --> 00:16:00,490
A lady who is the daughter of
a late canon of Exeter Cathedral
153
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,024
and who is obliged by her circumstances
to take up the offer of employment
154
00:16:04,054 --> 00:16:08,642
among a family in the Antipodes may
well set the affectionate friendship
155
00:16:08,672 --> 00:16:12,308
of young ladies and gentlemen
at a lower value than you do.
156
00:16:25,032 --> 00:16:27,381
This is excellent meat.
157
00:16:27,411 --> 00:16:29,619
What takes you to Australia, Mr Talbot?
158
00:16:29,649 --> 00:16:32,296
A position in the Governor's office, sir.
159
00:16:32,326 --> 00:16:34,455
Aah, a politician at our table.
160
00:16:34,485 --> 00:16:37,169
Then we may all sleep soundly.
161
00:16:38,411 --> 00:16:41,602
- Mr Prettiman, is it not?
- Indeed it is, sir.
162
00:16:41,632 --> 00:16:43,840
Have we been introduced before?
163
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:47,376
No, I don't believe we have, but,
of course, it is a belated pleasure.
164
00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:51,113
Do you think we should experience any
action on this voyage, Deverel?
165
00:16:51,143 --> 00:16:52,550
I pray that we don't, sir.
166
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:56,177
This is hardly a proper ship of
the line with a crew that know each other.
167
00:16:56,207 --> 00:16:59,297
- You've not sailed together before?
- The crew is small in numbers ...
168
00:16:59,327 --> 00:17:01,666
We were swept together in a day or so.
169
00:17:02,056 --> 00:17:03,879
You've met the officers, Mr Talbot
170
00:17:03,909 --> 00:17:07,900
I shouldn't wish to rely on Cumbershum
for a hand in a battle with the Frenchy.
171
00:17:07,930 --> 00:17:10,918
- As for the captain...
- I've met the captain.
172
00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:14,928
He spends more time with his plants
than his commanding officers.
173
00:17:15,709 --> 00:17:16,378
Indeed.
174
00:17:16,408 --> 00:17:20,489
And to make matters worse this war is
running down like an unwound clock.
175
00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:30,762
Zenobia, my dear child!
176
00:17:38,706 --> 00:17:42,657
- How is your poor mother?
- A shadow of herself, ma'am.
177
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:45,189
Will you join us Miss?
I'll find you a cushion.
178
00:17:45,219 --> 00:17:47,144
My cushion is free.
179
00:17:47,347 --> 00:17:51,540
Miss Granham you cannot leave me
here alone among so many gentlemen.
180
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:54,629
Yes, Miss Granham. Must you leave so soon?
181
00:17:54,659 --> 00:17:58,923
Rest assured ma'am, your virtue is
as safe here as anywhere on the vessel.
182
00:17:58,953 --> 00:18:03,006
Dear Miss Granham, I'm sure
your virtue is safe anywhere.
183
00:18:39,802 --> 00:18:42,957
- Allow me, ma'am.
- Thank you, Mr Oldmeadow.
184
00:18:42,987 --> 00:18:45,620
A true gentleman.
185
00:19:00,153 --> 00:19:02,021
I saw you, sir.
186
00:19:02,051 --> 00:19:04,295
You threw salt over your shoulders.
187
00:19:04,325 --> 00:19:07,217
Superstition is the religion of the feeble mind.
188
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:09,588
I will have you know, Mr Brocklebank.
189
00:19:09,618 --> 00:19:12,910
I am the inveterate foe of every superstition.
190
00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:15,421
How angry Mr Prettiman is.
191
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:20,866
I declare that when roused
he is quite, quite terrifying.
192
00:19:24,423 --> 00:19:27,652
The custom of touching wood
comes from the papistical habit
193
00:19:27,682 --> 00:19:30,966
of adoring the crucifix and kissing it.
194
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:35,392
Mr Bowles! We are indebted to you, sir.
195
00:19:35,422 --> 00:19:39,960
My nurse had a horror of a loaf
being turned upside down.
196
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:44,071
Apparently it presaged to disastrous sea...
197
00:19:48,164 --> 00:19:51,396
'Alone, alone...'
198
00:19:51,426 --> 00:19:54,323
'All, all alone'
199
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,368
'Alone on a wide, wide sea'
200
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:13,181
'God save the ancient mariner from
the fiends that plague the vast.'
201
00:20:13,211 --> 00:20:15,753
'Why looketh thou so?'
202
00:20:15,783 --> 00:20:21,797
'With my crossbow I shot the albatross.'
203
00:20:25,993 --> 00:20:29,648
Mr Broklebank painted Mr Coleridge's portrait.
204
00:20:29,678 --> 00:20:32,625
Albatross. More superstition.
205
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:36,353
Would you dare risk shooting such a bird?
206
00:20:36,383 --> 00:20:37,313
Do you have a gun, sir?
207
00:20:37,343 --> 00:20:41,336
I have been advised -as I intend to
travel in the country- to take a gun...
208
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:44,193
- Bring me your gun, sir.
- I will bring you my gun, sir.
209
00:20:44,223 --> 00:20:45,944
And I will shoot and albatross.
210
00:20:45,974 --> 00:20:50,542
And we shall see what fate
befalls this ship.
211
00:20:53,945 --> 00:20:56,074
And where is the parson?
212
00:20:56,104 --> 00:20:59,601
The cabin walls are so thin.
Every morning I hear him in prayer.
213
00:20:59,631 --> 00:21:02,913
- The parson keeps his cabin.
- Ha ha, the reverend Colley.
214
00:21:02,943 --> 00:21:05,939
He's a newly hatched parson that had
to be smuggled aboard.
215
00:21:05,968 --> 00:21:09,318
We shall see little of him I think.
Thank God and the captain for that.
216
00:21:09,348 --> 00:21:12,812
Is it true that Captain Anderson has
refused the parson to hold a Sunday service?
217
00:21:12,842 --> 00:21:15,681
Did you not witness
the altercation between them?
218
00:21:15,711 --> 00:21:18,409
Our captain threw him to the floor.
219
00:21:18,439 --> 00:21:22,249
This is why we are denied
a Sunday service?
220
00:21:26,206 --> 00:21:31,482
My wife would like a service
on the Sabbath... if
221
00:21:32,761 --> 00:21:36,454
Well. I should think it might be
possible for the parson to hold
222
00:21:36,484 --> 00:21:40,995
a short service for those who
wish to attend, might it not?
223
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,396
Then it's decided.
224
00:22:09,045 --> 00:22:09,980
Ah!
225
00:22:10,438 --> 00:22:12,182
Mister... um...
226
00:22:12,953 --> 00:22:15,504
- Mister...
- The reverend Robert James Colley.
227
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:19,172
- At your service, Mr Talbot, sir.
- Service is the word, sir.
228
00:22:19,963 --> 00:22:24,718
- Mr Colley. When is the Sabbath?
- In two days time, sir.
229
00:22:24,748 --> 00:22:27,102
A few ladies and gentlemen would
welcome it if you were to conduct
230
00:22:27,132 --> 00:22:29,735
a short service in the
passengers' saloon at
231
00:22:29,765 --> 00:22:32,415
seven bells at the afternoon watch.
232
00:22:32,445 --> 00:22:39,162
Mr Talbot, sir, this is... is -it is like you.
233
00:22:40,755 --> 00:22:43,893
The brooding captain will not
dictate to me in this manner.
234
00:22:43,923 --> 00:22:47,414
Is he to tell me whether I should
have a service to attend or not?
235
00:22:47,444 --> 00:22:49,365
Why no, sir!
236
00:22:52,262 --> 00:22:57,515
'Lord, whom winds and waves obey'
237
00:22:57,545 --> 00:23:02,931
'Guide us through the watery way'
238
00:23:02,961 --> 00:23:08,186
'In the hollow of thy hand'
239
00:23:08,216 --> 00:23:13,893
'Hide and bring us safe to land'
240
00:23:13,923 --> 00:23:16,410
Two points to starboard, Mr Cumbershum!
241
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,205
'Jesus let our faithful mind'
242
00:23:20,235 --> 00:23:25,484
'Rest on thee alone reclined'
243
00:23:25,740 --> 00:23:31,161
'Every anxious thought repress'
244
00:23:31,191 --> 00:23:35,737
'Keep our souls in perfect peace'
245
00:23:37,097 --> 00:23:41,825
'Keep the souls whom now we leave'
246
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:44,309
Bring her onto the wind!
247
00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:47,892
'Bid them to each other cleave'
- Another point to starboard!
248
00:23:47,998 --> 00:23:53,936
'Bid them walk on life's rough sea'
- Onto the wind! One point to starboard!
249
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:59,665
'Bid them come by faith to Thee.'
- Hard to lee, Mr Cumbershum
250
00:23:59,695 --> 00:24:06,120
'Save, till all these tempests end'
- Swing her around.
251
00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:11,978
'All who on Thy love depend...'
252
00:24:27,709 --> 00:24:30,605
- Steady!
- Steady!
253
00:24:52,364 --> 00:24:56,163
I have regrettably little to report
to your lordship.
254
00:24:57,013 --> 00:24:59,940
We have ventured, at last, into the Tropics.
255
00:24:59,970 --> 00:25:04,317
Mr Prettiman is still trying
to shoot his albatross.
256
00:25:05,856 --> 00:25:09,662
The other passengers keep
themselves to themselves.
257
00:25:36,542 --> 00:25:40,289
Mrs Brocklebank has recovered
from her sickness.
258
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:41,818
To everyone's surprise,
259
00:25:41,848 --> 00:25:45,495
she certainly does not look old
enough to be Zenobia's mother.
260
00:25:45,525 --> 00:25:48,787
I had known the world of Art is
not to be judged by the accepted
261
00:25:48,817 --> 00:25:52,331
standards of morality but would
prefer Mr Brocklebank to set up
262
00:25:52,361 --> 00:25:55,087
his brothel elsewhere.
263
00:25:57,536 --> 00:26:01,707
Added to the heat and humidity a
sea voyage I'm learning can have
264
00:26:01,737 --> 00:26:04,895
an effect on the male constitution.
265
00:26:05,609 --> 00:26:11,464
To meet the lady is easy enough
and, indeed, unavoidable.
266
00:26:12,309 --> 00:26:16,502
The problem -devil take it-
is a place of assignation.
267
00:26:17,514 --> 00:26:21,439
if you'll ask what is wrong with
my hutch or, indeed, hers -
268
00:26:21,469 --> 00:26:23,926
then I will answer 'everything'.
269
00:26:23,956 --> 00:26:27,359
Does Mr Colley cry but 'Hem'
on the other side of the lobby
270
00:26:27,389 --> 00:26:31,009
as he wakes Ms Granham
in the hutch just aft him.
271
00:26:31,363 --> 00:26:35,138
Does that windbag Mr Brocklebank
but break wind
272
00:26:35,168 --> 00:26:37,740
and our timbers shudder clear
through my hutch and into
273
00:26:37,770 --> 00:26:40,607
Mr Prettiman's just across from me.
274
00:26:46,926 --> 00:26:50,916
Clearly, I must prospect farther for
a place suitable to the conduct
275
00:26:50,946 --> 00:26:52,709
of our 'amours'.
276
00:26:52,739 --> 00:26:54,492
Wheeler!
277
00:26:56,945 --> 00:26:58,495
Sir?
278
00:26:59,092 --> 00:27:01,689
I would like to look around our ship,
if I may.
279
00:27:01,719 --> 00:27:03,592
You'll need a guide, sir.
280
00:27:28,929 --> 00:27:31,729
Make way for Mr Talbot.
281
00:28:15,943 --> 00:28:18,261
What the devil is this?
282
00:28:22,614 --> 00:28:25,774
Gentleman Jack.
283
00:28:27,863 --> 00:28:31,903
Always one for a joke, Mr Deverel.
He put Willis up to it.
284
00:28:31,933 --> 00:28:36,644
Mr Deverel told me that was the only
way to get on... in the navy.
285
00:28:36,674 --> 00:28:41,483
- It's a creeper, see?
- Most amusing.
286
00:28:44,776 --> 00:28:48,163
You'll take an observation
through a glass, Mr Talbot?
287
00:29:05,396 --> 00:29:09,231
The air is very close inhere, gentlemen.
288
00:29:09,261 --> 00:29:11,679
A wonder you can endure it, day after day.
289
00:29:11,709 --> 00:29:15,661
It's a hard life, Mr Talbot.
Here today, gone tomorrow...
290
00:29:15,691 --> 00:29:19,070
Here today, gone today if you mind
that young fellow Hawthorne.
291
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:22,336
That's more donkey than boy.
He's a fuckin' idiot.
292
00:29:22,366 --> 00:29:25,746
Last man on the rope, young Hawthorne.
293
00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:32,972
Boatswain says: 'whatever in this
natural world, don't let go!'
294
00:29:33,002 --> 00:29:35,236
The boat begins taking charge on the yard.
295
00:29:35,266 --> 00:29:38,392
Hawthorne holds on like he's been told.
296
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,128
What's wrong, what happened?
297
00:29:43,266 --> 00:29:45,719
The end of the rope runs up
to the block just like that.
298
00:29:45,749 --> 00:29:48,881
Hawthorne's on the end of it...
299
00:29:48,911 --> 00:29:52,070
We never saw him again.
- Good God!
300
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,167
Here today, gone today.
301
00:29:56,136 --> 00:29:57,759
It's so stuffy down here.
302
00:29:57,789 --> 00:30:00,711
Remember them girls, Mr Gibbs?
Can we 'ave a window open?
303
00:30:00,741 --> 00:30:02,705
Can we 'ave a window?
304
00:30:06,052 --> 00:30:10,301
So it is possible to obtain commerce,
even on a vessel such as this?
305
00:30:16,263 --> 00:30:18,978
- No one see you?
- I saw them.
306
00:30:19,008 --> 00:30:24,980
No match goes unseen, Mr Talbot.
As you may know already.
307
00:30:26,069 --> 00:30:28,893
Mr Willis will show ya. Go on.
308
00:30:28,923 --> 00:30:32,145
Pretend you're the captain doin' his rounds.
309
00:30:32,996 --> 00:30:37,579
And if you're very lucky,
you might get to see the purser.
310
00:30:37,660 --> 00:30:41,571
Remember that gunner's mate?
He lost his head...
311
00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:23,860
Was there anything else you
wished to see, Mr Talbot?
312
00:31:55,001 --> 00:31:57,992
I trust we shall be seeing you at
the ceremony, Mr Talbot.
313
00:31:58,022 --> 00:32:01,730
- Ceremony?
- This afternoon we cross the Line.
314
00:32:02,224 --> 00:32:05,717
As we cross the Equator, King
Neptune comes to visit the ship.
315
00:32:05,747 --> 00:32:09,089
Yes, I have heard of this barbaric ritual.
316
00:32:10,687 --> 00:32:12,167
Mr Summers!
317
00:32:13,418 --> 00:32:18,721
The ritual... custom, I should say.
Does the whole ship attend?
318
00:32:18,751 --> 00:32:24,145
- Nobody is excluded, sir.
- And it is.. entertaining?
319
00:32:24,175 --> 00:32:27,223
If you like your entertainment noisy.
320
00:32:31,191 --> 00:32:33,754
It has come to me in a flash.
321
00:32:33,784 --> 00:32:38,484
If I cannot alter the place, then all
that it is left to alter is the time.
322
00:32:38,514 --> 00:32:43,411
The ship is about to provide me not
with the place, but with an opportunity.
323
00:33:08,182 --> 00:33:11,618
I hear there's to be entertainment, Mr Talbot.
324
00:33:11,648 --> 00:33:13,279
And we are all to be included.
325
00:33:13,309 --> 00:33:16,186
Not quite all of us, Mr Pike.
326
00:33:16,216 --> 00:33:19,230
This wretched heat has
given me a headache.
327
00:33:19,260 --> 00:33:22,115
I shall pass the time in my cabin.
328
00:33:38,742 --> 00:33:40,085
Colley!
329
00:33:41,499 --> 00:33:44,230
Robert James Colley!
330
00:33:44,395 --> 00:33:48,350
Come out, Robert James Colley!
You are coming to judgement.
331
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:50,455
No, I'm not ready!
332
00:33:51,616 --> 00:33:55,170
No! No!! Please!
333
00:33:56,748 --> 00:34:01,005
Gentlemen, unhand me! Please, no!
334
00:34:01,478 --> 00:34:04,972
Please gentlemen. God save me!
335
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:59,003
This is Neptun's dominium, parson.
Pray for me!
336
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:17,390
You are a low and filthy fellow,
who must be cleansed.
337
00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:38,058
Come on, now!
338
00:37:08,303 --> 00:37:10,904
Edmund! The French!
339
00:37:10,934 --> 00:37:16,554
Calm yourself. It is Mr Prettiman
who has at last seen an albatross.
340
00:37:16,584 --> 00:37:20,597
Now, my dear. We must get you
back to the social scene.
341
00:37:20,626 --> 00:37:23,332
It will never do for us to appear together.
342
00:37:23,562 --> 00:37:24,644
Edmund!
343
00:37:25,215 --> 00:37:28,415
- Why, what is the matter?
- You will not desert me.
344
00:37:28,445 --> 00:37:32,861
Come, what can I do? Step
overboard into a ship of my own?
345
00:37:32,992 --> 00:37:35,571
- Cruel!
- Do not pretend these are circumstances
346
00:37:35,601 --> 00:37:38,250
with which you're wholly unfamiliar.
347
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,804
Unless you're waiting for...
348
00:37:41,834 --> 00:37:44,960
- For what?
- For a suitable moment to retire
349
00:37:44,990 --> 00:37:49,760
to your hutch -'cabin', I mean to say-
and repair your toilet.
350
00:37:49,790 --> 00:37:51,606
We have very little time.
351
00:37:51,636 --> 00:37:54,807
If there should be unhappy consequences...
352
00:37:54,837 --> 00:37:57,815
Yeah, we must cross that bridge
would you come to it. Now...
353
00:37:57,845 --> 00:38:01,357
- Close is clear -yes- go, go!
- Edmund!
354
00:38:02,138 --> 00:38:04,031
Edmund!!
355
00:38:14,545 --> 00:38:17,693
Talbot, my... my dear fellow.
356
00:38:17,866 --> 00:38:23,091
- Bates! A glass for Mr Talbot!
- Thank you, sir.
357
00:38:25,674 --> 00:38:31,065
What a sight it was...
What famous sport!
358
00:38:32,271 --> 00:38:34,425
Indeed, sir.
359
00:38:34,969 --> 00:38:38,100
Famous sport...
360
00:38:44,429 --> 00:38:47,834
Bates, another glass, for Mr Deverel.
361
00:38:47,864 --> 00:38:51,349
You are kindness itself, Talbot.
362
00:39:02,047 --> 00:39:04,589
...and the whole thing went too far,
in my mind.
363
00:39:04,619 --> 00:39:05,905
I agree, Mr Pike.
364
00:39:05,935 --> 00:39:09,518
Ah, but diverting, nonetheless.
365
00:39:09,548 --> 00:39:13,605
And was it not... diverting for you,
Mr Talbot?
366
00:39:31,546 --> 00:39:36,105
- Can I get you anything, sir?
- No, thank you Wheeler. That'll be all.
367
00:39:37,044 --> 00:39:42,378
- I thought I could smell perfume, sir.
- I don't think you did, Wheeler...
368
00:39:43,101 --> 00:39:45,310
Good night, sir.
369
00:39:45,340 --> 00:39:47,862
Good night, Wheeler.
370
00:40:11,856 --> 00:40:15,159
So you shot your albatross, Mr Prettiman.
371
00:40:15,189 --> 00:40:17,854
I did not, sir. I did not.
372
00:40:17,884 --> 00:40:21,602
Weapon was snatched from me hands.
373
00:40:21,632 --> 00:40:25,084
Whole episode was grotesque and lamentable.
374
00:40:25,114 --> 00:40:29,480
- Such a display of savage superstition.
- No doubt. No doubt...
375
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:31,932
Such a thing would never happen in France.
376
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:34,107
Parson.
377
00:40:34,778 --> 00:40:38,446
Captain Anderson.
I desire to speak with you.
378
00:40:38,890 --> 00:40:40,612
Well, sir, you may do so.
379
00:40:40,642 --> 00:40:46,285
Your people have done my office wrong.
You yourself have done it wrong.
380
00:40:46,315 --> 00:40:51,162
- I know it, Mr Colley.
- You confess as much, sir?
381
00:40:51,192 --> 00:40:56,234
It was never meant...
The affair got out of hand.
382
00:40:56,264 --> 00:40:58,716
You have been ill used, sir.
383
00:40:59,484 --> 00:41:05,663
After this confession of your fault
I... I forgive you. Freely.
384
00:41:07,182 --> 00:41:10,747
But there were, I believe,
other officers involved.
385
00:41:10,777 --> 00:41:15,173
They were I suppose acting not so much
under your orders but by force of your example.
386
00:41:15,203 --> 00:41:18,820
I believe I know them, sir,
disguised as they were.
387
00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:21,950
Not for my sake but for their own
-they must admit their fault.
388
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:23,603
Christ!
389
00:41:23,632 --> 00:41:25,738
You will have it all then, will you, sir?
390
00:41:25,768 --> 00:41:28,857
I defend my Master's office
as you would the King's.
391
00:41:28,887 --> 00:41:31,995
And there are the poor ignorant people
in the front end of the ship. I must
392
00:41:32,025 --> 00:41:33,808
visit them and bring them to repentance.
393
00:41:33,838 --> 00:41:37,638
- Are you mad?
- Indeed no, sir.
394
00:41:37,668 --> 00:41:42,236
Mr Colley. Have you no care what further
mockery may be inflicted upon you?
395
00:41:42,266 --> 00:41:46,410
You have your uniform, Captain Anderson.
And I have mine.
396
00:41:47,716 --> 00:41:51,706
Have I your permission then to go
forward and address them?
397
00:41:53,256 --> 00:41:55,201
Do as you please.
398
00:42:01,173 --> 00:42:02,672
Mr Summers.
399
00:42:03,311 --> 00:42:06,126
I believe it was you who discharged
Mr Prettiman's weapon.
400
00:42:06,156 --> 00:42:07,737
It was, sir.
401
00:42:07,767 --> 00:42:12,193
- I trust no one was injured.
- I fired over the side.
402
00:42:13,338 --> 00:42:17,199
- I must thank you for it.
- It was nothing, sir.
403
00:42:20,506 --> 00:42:25,409
'Lord whom winds and waves obey'
404
00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:29,476
'Guide us through the watery way...'
405
00:42:29,506 --> 00:42:32,971
I beg you, allow me to take charge, sir.
406
00:42:33,001 --> 00:42:37,346
Let's not interfere with the ways
of the church, Mr Summers.
407
00:42:37,376 --> 00:42:43,191
- The men are in drink, sir.
- See they are punished for it.
408
00:42:55,038 --> 00:42:57,090
Something had happened during
the ship's entertainment.
409
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,809
while I was so closely engaged with...
410
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:02,473
the delicious enemy.
411
00:43:02,503 --> 00:43:06,578
I have no doubt the people subjected
the parson Colley to some slight,
412
00:43:06,608 --> 00:43:09,972
real or imagined, and it could have
been a great deal worse had it not been
413
00:43:10,002 --> 00:43:13,164
for the timely intervention of Mr Summers.
414
00:43:41,316 --> 00:43:43,823
What the devil's going on?
415
00:43:49,823 --> 00:43:52,841
Sir, I must see the first lieutenant, sir.
It's the parson sir.
416
00:43:52,871 --> 00:43:55,555
Mr Colley's in the fo'castle, sir,
as drunk as the butcher's boots.
417
00:43:55,585 --> 00:43:59,292
Get below, sir, or I'll masthead you.
418
00:44:02,037 --> 00:44:04,489
They are laughing at us, sir.
419
00:44:06,271 --> 00:44:07,274
Sir.
420
00:44:12,318 --> 00:44:13,463
Sir?
421
00:44:16,694 --> 00:44:20,786
Inform the parson he must return
to his cabin at once.
422
00:44:21,465 --> 00:44:27,676
Mr Willis! Inform the parson he must
return to his cabin at once.
423
00:44:47,704 --> 00:45:00,193
Joy! Joy! Joy!
424
00:45:07,622 --> 00:45:11,673
The blessing of God the
Father Almighty, God the Son
425
00:45:11,703 --> 00:45:17,255
and God the Holy Ghost be with you
and remain with you always!
426
00:46:03,558 --> 00:46:07,457
This is the 51st day of our voyage.
427
00:46:07,487 --> 00:46:09,301
I think...
428
00:46:09,331 --> 00:46:12,384
And then again, perhaps it is not.
429
00:46:12,414 --> 00:46:17,444
I've lost interest in the calendar
and almost in the voyage too.
430
00:46:17,474 --> 00:46:20,546
I have felt a lethargy.
431
00:46:20,576 --> 00:46:25,194
It has been little to do than walk the
deck and drink with anyone who will.
432
00:46:41,089 --> 00:46:44,969
I have little to amuse your lordship
at present.
433
00:46:44,999 --> 00:46:47,481
I have avoided Miss Brocklebank
434
00:46:47,511 --> 00:46:52,697
who glows in this heat so as to
almost turn a man's stomach.
435
00:46:52,727 --> 00:46:55,837
I'm sure that Deverel has had to do with her.
436
00:46:55,867 --> 00:47:00,618
I fear that a man might well suffer
shipwreck on that coast.
437
00:47:01,681 --> 00:47:06,377
What is of some interest, however,
is the behaviour, or lack of it
438
00:47:06,407 --> 00:47:09,669
of the parson Colley.
439
00:47:14,225 --> 00:47:19,165
The fact is that since the fellow's fall
he has not left his cabin.
440
00:47:22,324 --> 00:47:26,112
Four days have now passed
since his drunkenness.
441
00:47:26,142 --> 00:47:27,449
Come!
442
00:47:32,412 --> 00:47:33,496
What is it, Wheeler?
443
00:47:33,526 --> 00:47:36,828
Lieutenant Summers was inquiring if
you have called on Mr Colley.
444
00:47:36,858 --> 00:47:40,860
I've no intention of calling on Mr Colley,
it's the thing furthest from my mind.
445
00:47:40,890 --> 00:47:45,103
Lt Summers believes a visit from you would
send a message to the rest of the ship.
446
00:47:45,133 --> 00:47:48,355
Seeing as no other passenger
carries your authority.
447
00:47:48,385 --> 00:47:51,464
- Is the parson unwell?
- Hard to say, sir.
448
00:47:51,494 --> 00:47:56,427
You can still make out that the
gentleman is breathing.
449
00:47:57,389 --> 00:47:59,816
Very well, Wheeler.
I shall pay a visit to Mr Colley.
450
00:47:59,846 --> 00:48:03,168
but I do not wish to be offended by
the sights and smells of a sickroom.
451
00:48:03,198 --> 00:48:04,722
Of course not, sir.
452
00:48:13,708 --> 00:48:17,247
- Good God!
- I've done my best, sir.
453
00:48:26,376 --> 00:48:27,966
Mr Colley.
454
00:48:30,367 --> 00:48:33,618
Mr Colley, it is I, Edmund Talbot.
455
00:48:54,419 --> 00:48:59,696
No one blames you for what happened, sir.
Life has not been made... easy for you.
456
00:48:59,726 --> 00:49:03,060
But this is not the way to behave.
457
00:49:10,417 --> 00:49:13,486
This is not good enough, Mr Colley.
I have called upon you, sir.
458
00:49:13,516 --> 00:49:16,727
I desire further acquaintance with you.
459
00:49:24,442 --> 00:49:25,637
Well, sir.
460
00:49:27,157 --> 00:49:30,945
When you are in a better humour,
pray call on me.
461
00:49:46,338 --> 00:49:49,215
- Mr Talbot.
- Mr Summers.
462
00:49:49,245 --> 00:49:53,904
I've discharged those responsibilities
you were so kind to bring to my attention.
463
00:49:53,934 --> 00:49:56,097
with little success, I have to report.
464
00:49:56,228 --> 00:49:59,307
The man made a beast of himself and
now I am weary of the subject.
465
00:49:59,337 --> 00:50:01,350
I have entered the cabin
and seen for myself.
466
00:50:01,380 --> 00:50:04,266
Then I shall marvel if you can
eat after it. The stink alone...
467
00:50:04,296 --> 00:50:07,285
Mr Talbot. We have no physician onboard.
468
00:50:07,315 --> 00:50:09,268
And I believe the parson is mortally sick.
469
00:50:09,298 --> 00:50:12,885
The man is young and suffering from
no more than over indulgence in liquor.
470
00:50:12,915 --> 00:50:14,874
Is that all, Mr Talbot?
471
00:50:15,188 --> 00:50:18,252
Are you as indifferent to
the man's fate as others are?
472
00:50:18,282 --> 00:50:23,365
- I am not an officer on this ship.
- The more able to help, sir.
473
00:50:27,438 --> 00:50:30,172
I may speak to you freely, may I not?
474
00:50:31,216 --> 00:50:32,634
Well then.
475
00:50:33,292 --> 00:50:35,757
How has the man been treated?
476
00:50:39,612 --> 00:50:43,551
First he was the object of
one man's specific dislike.
477
00:50:44,575 --> 00:50:49,630
Then the object of general
indifference leading to contempt.
478
00:50:49,822 --> 00:50:54,063
Even before his latest... escapade.
479
00:51:02,170 --> 00:51:07,100
What I say now may well ruin me
if I misjudged your character.
480
00:51:07,130 --> 00:51:10,555
My character? You have been
studying my character, sir?
481
00:51:10,585 --> 00:51:13,620
We know your birth, your
prospective position.
482
00:51:13,650 --> 00:51:15,966
Men and women will flatter you in hope...
483
00:51:15,996 --> 00:51:20,812
- God!
- Wait, wait! Understand me, Mr Talbot!
484
00:51:20,842 --> 00:51:23,307
I do not complain.
485
00:51:35,358 --> 00:51:39,333
You have exercised your
privileged position.
486
00:51:39,363 --> 00:51:43,080
Now I'm asking you to shoulder
its responsibility.
487
00:51:43,642 --> 00:51:45,906
Who was responsible for
the parson's state?
488
00:51:45,936 --> 00:51:48,228
Devil take it, man! Himself!
489
00:51:52,180 --> 00:51:54,751
Very well, Summers, let us not
mince round the truth
490
00:51:54,781 --> 00:51:57,225
like a pair of church spinsters.
491
00:51:57,761 --> 00:52:00,800
You are going to spread the
responsibility, are you not?
492
00:52:00,830 --> 00:52:03,231
You will include the captain
and I agree. Who else?
493
00:52:03,261 --> 00:52:04,556
Deverel? Yourself?
494
00:52:04,586 --> 00:52:08,930
- The starboard watch? The world?
- You, sir, are the man most responsible.
495
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:09,839
- What?!
496
00:52:09,869 --> 00:52:12,787
My career is now in far more danger
then from the French.
497
00:52:12,817 --> 00:52:15,244
They, after all, could do
no more than kill or...
498
00:52:15,274 --> 00:52:18,444
How mean, how vindictive
do you think I am?!
499
00:52:19,237 --> 00:52:21,977
Your precious carer is safe.
Now explain your words!
500
00:52:22,007 --> 00:52:25,274
You ignored the captain's orders and
ventured upon the quarterdeck.
501
00:52:25,304 --> 00:52:28,564
You made good use of your rank
to strike a blow at the very foundations
502
00:52:28,594 --> 00:52:30,934
of a captain of his own ship.
503
00:52:32,833 --> 00:52:38,544
Because of your rank, your prospects,
your connections you got away with it.
504
00:52:38,574 --> 00:52:40,855
The parson, sir, could not
be so fortunate.
505
00:52:40,885 --> 00:52:43,070
If Colley had read the captain's
Standing Orders...
506
00:52:43,100 --> 00:52:46,395
You are a passenger as he is,
did you read them?
507
00:52:48,883 --> 00:52:53,273
Had you not acted as you did,
with the arrogance of your class
508
00:52:53,303 --> 00:52:55,911
then Mr Colley would have not
assumed the liberty of himself
509
00:52:55,941 --> 00:52:58,201
venturing upon the quarterdeck.
510
00:53:00,779 --> 00:53:07,059
The captain humiliated the parson, sir,
because he could not humiliate you.
511
00:53:13,792 --> 00:53:17,691
- You've said enough.
- I hope so.
512
00:53:22,535 --> 00:53:26,895
A man does not want to die
of shame because he got drunk.
513
00:53:27,524 --> 00:53:31,139
The best medicine for Mr Colley would
be a visit from the captain.
514
00:53:31,168 --> 00:53:34,436
And there is only one man amongst
us with sufficient influence
515
00:53:34,466 --> 00:53:37,636
to bring the captain to such an action.
516
00:54:17,471 --> 00:54:21,731
- A fine evening for you, Mr Talbot.
- Indeed it is, sir.
517
00:54:21,761 --> 00:54:25,557
Do we make as much progress as
is common in these latitudes?
518
00:54:25,587 --> 00:54:30,185
I doubt we shall achieve more than an
average of a knot over the next day or two.
519
00:54:30,215 --> 00:54:34,651
- 24 sea miles a day.
- Just so, sir.
520
00:54:35,227 --> 00:54:38,549
I must confess to finding
these latitudes agreeable.
521
00:54:38,579 --> 00:54:40,859
Could we but tow the British Isles to
this part of the world,
522
00:54:40,889 --> 00:54:44,086
how many of our social problems would be solved!
523
00:54:44,116 --> 00:54:47,387
The mango would fall in our mouths.
524
00:54:47,417 --> 00:54:50,564
You have a quaint notion there, sir.
525
00:54:50,594 --> 00:54:52,461
- Do you mean to include Ireland?
- No, sir.
526
00:54:52,491 --> 00:54:55,464
I would give her to
the United States of America.
527
00:54:55,962 --> 00:54:59,092
It would remove half a watch
of my crew at a blow.
528
00:54:59,122 --> 00:55:02,022
Well worth the loss, sir.
529
00:55:06,291 --> 00:55:11,341
Balmy the air is... It's almost
insupportable that I must descend again.
530
00:55:11,371 --> 00:55:16,214
- And busy myself with my writing.
- Ah... a writer...
531
00:55:17,085 --> 00:55:19,722
We have a writer onboard.
532
00:55:19,752 --> 00:55:23,314
Partly an amusement, partly a duty.
533
00:55:23,344 --> 00:55:28,771
What my godfather would call
a 'journal'. Or a log, if you prefer.
534
00:55:28,801 --> 00:55:32,332
You must find little to record
in such a situation as this.
535
00:55:32,362 --> 00:55:35,523
Indeed, you are mistaken, sir.
I find I have neither time nor paper
536
00:55:35,553 --> 00:55:40,110
sufficient to record all the interesting
events and my observations on them.
537
00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:43,514
It's my godfather's intention that
this voyage allowed his godson
538
00:55:43,544 --> 00:55:48,416
time for reflection and exercise
for his powers of judgement.
539
00:55:49,352 --> 00:55:53,542
This journal will be evidence that
his hopes have been fulfilled.
540
00:55:53,572 --> 00:55:57,705
- The journal is for your godfather?
- It is my present to him.
541
00:55:57,735 --> 00:56:02,867
To distract him from his gout.
I'm instructed to hide nothing.
542
00:56:03,574 --> 00:56:07,096
The officers of this ship must
bulk large in your accounts, sir.
543
00:56:07,126 --> 00:56:11,634
They and the language they use.
And some of the personages.
544
00:56:11,664 --> 00:56:14,508
Mr Prettiman and his outspoken views.
545
00:56:15,338 --> 00:56:18,174
All will amuse his lordship.
546
00:56:22,442 --> 00:56:24,414
And myself?
547
00:56:25,402 --> 00:56:29,533
You, sir? I've not considered that.
548
00:56:29,563 --> 00:56:35,552
Well you are after all the king or
emperor of our floating society...
549
00:56:35,582 --> 00:56:37,577
I had not looked to
become famous, Mr Talbot.
550
00:56:37,607 --> 00:56:41,265
...with prerogatives of justice
and mercy. Yes. I suppose you do bulk
551
00:56:41,295 --> 00:56:46,308
large in my journal.
And shall continue to do so...
552
00:57:13,517 --> 00:57:16,613
- Good God, man!
- My apologies, Mr Talbot.
553
00:57:16,643 --> 00:57:20,234
- But it cannot continue.
- Colley?
554
00:57:20,264 --> 00:57:24,930
I am to look in on him again by the
captain's orders and you are to assist me.
555
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,025
- I?
- You're not ordered to assist.
556
00:57:28,055 --> 00:57:31,125
but Captain Anderson feels that
557
00:57:31,155 --> 00:57:34,822
the parson will listen to
your invaluable advice.
558
00:57:37,170 --> 00:57:39,282
Very well.
559
00:57:39,728 --> 00:57:43,901
Let us try once again to rouse
Mr Colley from his...
560
00:57:43,931 --> 00:57:45,866
..his lethargy.
561
00:58:03,790 --> 00:58:08,417
Mr Talbot has come to see you, Mr Colley.
562
00:58:08,447 --> 00:58:11,287
Well, Mr Colley, this is...
563
00:58:12,444 --> 00:58:15,278
an unfortunate business.
564
00:58:16,435 --> 00:58:19,544
But you are refining too much on it.
565
00:58:19,574 --> 00:58:26,908
Uncontrolled drunkenness and its
consequences are an experience
566
00:58:26,938 --> 00:58:31,687
every man ought to go through
at least once in his life,
567
00:58:31,717 --> 00:58:36,127
or else how is he to understand
the behaviour of others?
568
00:58:49,258 --> 00:58:54,747
I have been brought to see how I am
569
00:58:54,777 --> 00:59:03,027
-in however distant a way- partly
responsible for your.. predicament.
570
00:59:05,047 --> 00:59:10,261
Had I not enraged the captain
as I did, then...
571
00:59:24,244 --> 00:59:27,894
- We need a doctor.
- We don't have a doctor.
572
00:59:31,788 --> 00:59:34,215
- Mr Brocklebank! Wheeler!
- Brocklebank?!
573
00:59:34,245 --> 00:59:36,658
He was at medical school before
he was a painter.
574
00:59:36,688 --> 00:59:37,896
Wheeler! Wheeler!
575
00:59:37,926 --> 00:59:40,671
-Sir?
- Wake Mr Brocklebank at once.
576
00:59:40,700 --> 00:59:42,880
I believe the gentleman is still in
the passengers' saloon.
577
00:59:42,910 --> 00:59:45,205
Then fetch him, man!
578
00:59:45,235 --> 00:59:48,223
And Wheeler! Notify the captain.
579
00:59:58,430 --> 01:00:04,550
Mr Brocklebank.
We require your medical knowledge.
580
01:00:11,371 --> 01:00:14,426
Good evening, Parson.
581
01:00:24,964 --> 01:00:27,389
- Well?
- Well what?
582
01:00:27,419 --> 01:00:29,654
Is he dead?
583
01:00:36,951 --> 01:00:40,924
The man is not dead. He is asleep.
584
01:00:48,628 --> 01:00:54,798
- He is in a low fever.
- There is no such thing as a low fever.
585
01:00:57,202 --> 01:00:58,584
Well?
586
01:00:58,614 --> 01:01:01,815
To the best of our knowledge, sir,
Mr Colley is dead.
587
01:01:01,845 --> 01:01:06,233
Nonsense. Stiff drink will rouse him.
588
01:01:24,063 --> 01:01:28,632
I fear the man's intemperance
has destroyed him.
589
01:01:28,662 --> 01:01:31,687
Intemperance, sir?
590
01:01:31,717 --> 01:01:34,817
A single unlucky indulgence.
591
01:01:35,113 --> 01:01:37,963
And you will enter it, sir,
in the log, I presume.
592
01:01:37,993 --> 01:01:41,149
That is something for me to consider
in my own time, Mr Talbot.
593
01:01:41,179 --> 01:01:44,965
- A moment's unlucky indulgence has not...
- I heard a mention of a low fever, did I not?
594
01:01:44,995 --> 01:01:47,608
That is my opinion, Captain.
595
01:01:47,638 --> 01:01:50,546
Mr Brocklebank is not quite himself, sir.
596
01:01:51,309 --> 01:01:54,946
Nevertheless, he's the only man aboard
with medical knowledge, is he not?
597
01:01:54,976 --> 01:01:57,626
A moment ago he pronounced the man asleep.
598
01:01:57,656 --> 01:01:59,368
Mr Summers!
599
01:02:00,836 --> 01:02:04,758
Make the customary arrangements.
600
01:02:04,984 --> 01:02:08,004
Mr Willis!
601
01:02:09,312 --> 01:02:11,474
Bring aft the sailmaker and his mate.
602
01:02:11,524 --> 01:02:14,184
And three or four able-bodied men!
603
01:02:23,246 --> 01:02:27,439
Ladies and gentlemen. You will
not wish to witness what follows.
604
01:02:27,469 --> 01:02:29,950
May I request that the cabins be cleared?
605
01:02:29,980 --> 01:02:32,173
The air of the quarterdeck
is to be recommended.
606
01:02:32,203 --> 01:02:35,092
- What happened to the parson?
- He was made drunk, as you know.
607
01:02:35,122 --> 01:02:38,233
I mean before. The crossing of the Line.
608
01:02:39,495 --> 01:02:41,997
You did not witness the ceremony?
609
01:02:42,027 --> 01:02:44,462
I was otherwise occupied...
610
01:02:44,492 --> 01:02:48,004
For what did he receive
the captain's apologies?
611
01:02:49,813 --> 01:02:56,144
A 'low'fever, gentlemen, is
the opposite to a 'high'fever.
612
01:02:56,174 --> 01:02:59,613
I bid you good night.
613
01:04:29,691 --> 01:04:33,008
There is a young gentleman onboard
whom -I trust and pray- will become
614
01:04:33,038 --> 01:04:35,550
my friend as the voyage advances.
615
01:04:36,214 --> 01:04:38,153
He's a member of the aristocracy
616
01:04:38,183 --> 01:04:42,851
with all the consideration and nobility
of bearing that such birth implies.
617
01:04:42,881 --> 01:04:45,992
I have made so bold as to salute
him on a number of occasions
618
01:04:46,022 --> 01:04:48,847
and he has responded graciously.
619
01:04:48,877 --> 01:04:52,100
His example may do much
among the other passengers
620
01:04:52,130 --> 01:04:55,604
who have an indefinable indifference to me.
621
01:04:57,383 --> 01:05:00,374
I have furthered my acquaintance
with Mr Talbot.
622
01:05:00,404 --> 01:05:04,295
I was he, of all people, who did
in fact search me out.
623
01:05:04,325 --> 01:05:07,031
He's a true friend to religion.
624
01:05:07,061 --> 01:05:10,494
He came to my cabin and begged me
in the most open and friendly manner
625
01:05:10,524 --> 01:05:14,009
to favour the ship's people
with a short address.
626
01:05:14,803 --> 01:05:17,538
This is a Godless vessel.
627
01:05:17,568 --> 01:05:22,918
What a man does defiles him
-not what is done by others.
628
01:05:22,948 --> 01:05:27,581
My shame -though it burn-
has been inflicted upon me.
629
01:05:29,154 --> 01:05:32,851
I must visit the poor ignorant
people in the front end of the ship.
630
01:05:32,881 --> 01:05:39,869
I shall go forward ad rebuke these unruly
but truly lovable children of our Maker.
631
01:06:07,810 --> 01:06:09,330
What is it, Wheeler?
632
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,874
The captain has requested
your presence in his stateroom, sir.
633
01:06:12,904 --> 01:06:14,495
Why?
634
01:06:15,562 --> 01:06:20,160
There is to be an enquiry, sir.
Into the death of Mr Colley.
635
01:06:21,729 --> 01:06:23,562
Come in.
636
01:06:25,892 --> 01:06:27,837
Ah, Mr Talbot. Come in, come in.
637
01:06:27,867 --> 01:06:31,676
I must apologize to you for not
greeting you at the threshold.
638
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,256
You've caught me in my garden.
639
01:06:37,393 --> 01:06:40,533
I did not realize you had a
private paradise, Captain.
640
01:06:40,563 --> 01:06:42,407
Indeed, yes.
641
01:06:43,379 --> 01:06:49,010
This geranium you see, Mr Talbot
has some disease of the leaf.
642
01:06:50,226 --> 01:06:54,318
And I dusted it with the flours
of sulphur but to no effect.
643
01:06:54,348 --> 01:06:56,912
I shall lose it, no doubt.
644
01:06:56,942 --> 01:07:03,079
But then, sir, he who gardens at sea
must accustom himself to loss.
645
01:07:03,809 --> 01:07:08,812
On my first voyage in command
I lost my whole collection.
646
01:07:08,842 --> 01:07:11,871
Through the violence of the enemy, sir?
647
01:07:11,901 --> 01:07:16,137
No, sir. No, sir. To the uncommon
nature of the weather
648
01:07:16,167 --> 01:07:20,290
which held us, for weeks
without either wind or rain.
649
01:07:21,577 --> 01:07:25,342
I could not have served water to my plants.
650
01:07:25,372 --> 01:07:28,148
There would have been mutiny.
651
01:07:30,435 --> 01:07:31,955
Still.
652
01:07:32,756 --> 01:07:36,939
The loss of one plant is no grave matter.
653
01:07:40,715 --> 01:07:44,402
Besides, you may exchange it for
another at Sidney Cove.
654
01:07:44,432 --> 01:07:49,071
We are a long way and a long time
from our destination, Mr Talbot.
655
01:07:49,629 --> 01:07:52,779
Shall we get on with the matter in hand?
656
01:07:54,586 --> 01:07:58,990
Mr Colley agreed to a taste of rum.
He said it was in the spirit of something.
657
01:07:59,020 --> 01:08:03,510
- Reconciliation?
- I think that was the word he used, sir.
658
01:08:03,976 --> 01:08:05,920
What were you doing forrard?
659
01:08:05,950 --> 01:08:10,194
The cable to the bower anchor was to be
rousted out and walked end to end.
660
01:08:10,224 --> 01:08:13,183
Having finished my inspection,
I was coming to report.
661
01:08:13,213 --> 01:08:16,657
I stayed a while, having never seen
a parson in that state before.
662
01:08:16,687 --> 01:08:18,521
And then?
663
01:08:18,988 --> 01:08:23,667
I proceeded aft to inform Lt Summers but
I'd been given a bottle by Mr Cumbershum.
664
01:08:23,697 --> 01:08:25,874
Thank you very much, Mr Willis.
665
01:08:25,904 --> 01:08:27,373
That is all.
666
01:08:30,858 --> 01:08:33,563
- But what's a bottle got...
- A 'bottle' is a rebuke, sir.
667
01:08:33,593 --> 01:08:35,052
Let's get on.
668
01:08:36,783 --> 01:08:39,548
The laughter and applause
we heard, Mr East?
669
01:08:39,578 --> 01:08:43,995
Was when the reverend Colley
exchanged word with the seamen.
670
01:08:44,024 --> 01:08:48,749
- After he'd been drinking.
- He was more sociable after the rum.
671
01:08:48,779 --> 01:08:52,375
I didn't see him again, not after the
seamen took him down amongst the ropes.
672
01:08:52,405 --> 01:08:55,961
I was with me wife - she had
suffered a miscarriage.
673
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:00,245
Thank you, Mr East.
674
01:09:05,922 --> 01:09:08,860
Actually the men most likely to enlighten
us on how much Colley had drunk.
675
01:09:08,890 --> 01:09:10,724
would be the fellows that brought
him back on deck.
676
01:09:10,754 --> 01:09:12,655
I've ordered them to attend.
677
01:09:12,685 --> 01:09:17,294
However, my informant advises me
that this next witness we should press.
678
01:09:17,324 --> 01:09:19,937
Informant? Informant on what?
679
01:09:19,967 --> 01:09:22,773
We are here to establish the cause
of Mr Colley's death, sir.
680
01:09:22,803 --> 01:09:24,202
Or had you forgotten the agenda?
681
01:09:24,232 --> 01:09:26,840
I had not, Captain, but I believe we
are doing what you gentlemen call
682
01:09:26,870 --> 01:09:28,633
'making heavy weather of it'.
683
01:09:28,663 --> 01:09:32,811
The parson Colley was made drunk
- which isn't exactly a crime.
684
01:09:32,841 --> 01:09:35,502
Can we not confess it is intemperance
that killed him but rather our
685
01:09:35,532 --> 01:09:38,852
general indifference to his welfare
was, likely enough, the cause of it.
686
01:09:38,882 --> 01:09:40,870
- Indifference?
- Intemperance, sir.
687
01:09:40,900 --> 01:09:42,824
One moment, Summers!
688
01:09:45,265 --> 01:09:50,390
Mr Talbot, I pass over your odd phrase,
'our general indifference',
689
01:09:50,420 --> 01:09:52,608
But do you really think a single bout
of drinking is enough...
690
01:09:52,638 --> 01:09:55,961
- But you said as much yourself!
- That was yesterday.
691
01:09:55,991 --> 01:09:59,354
It is likely enough that the parson,
helplessly drunk,
692
01:09:59,384 --> 01:10:03,547
suffered a criminal assault by one
or God knows how many men.
693
01:10:05,408 --> 01:10:08,771
- Good God!
- I will have no concealment, sir.
694
01:10:08,801 --> 01:10:11,884
Nor will I tolerate any frivolous
accusations which touch me
695
01:10:11,914 --> 01:10:14,229
myself in my conduct of the ship
696
01:10:14,259 --> 01:10:16,118
Or in my attitude to the passengers in her.
697
01:10:16,148 --> 01:10:18,473
I have made a submission, sir.
698
01:10:18,503 --> 01:10:22,548
I beg your pardon if you find it
beyond my line of duty.
699
01:10:23,071 --> 01:10:25,588
Very well, Mr Summers.
700
01:10:25,902 --> 01:10:27,685
Let us get on.
701
01:10:37,905 --> 01:10:43,445
- Surely no man will confess to such a...
- You are young, Mr Talbot.
702
01:10:43,475 --> 01:10:44,467
You cannot guess what
703
01:10:44,497 --> 01:10:47,193
channels of information there are
in a ship such as this.
704
01:10:47,223 --> 01:10:48,773
Channels? Informants?
705
01:10:48,803 --> 01:10:52,433
Mr Summers tells me you claim
some skill in cross-examination.
706
01:10:52,463 --> 01:10:53,952
- Did he?
- Hmm.
707
01:10:53,982 --> 01:10:57,062
- Did I?
- Your witness, sir.
708
01:11:05,108 --> 01:11:08,370
Now, my good man, your name if you please.
709
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,378
Billy Rogers, my lord. Foretop man.
710
01:11:12,229 --> 01:11:14,660
We want some information from you, Rogers.
711
01:11:15,277 --> 01:11:17,952
We want to know in precise detail what
happened when the gentleman came
712
01:11:17,982 --> 01:11:19,380
among you the other day.
713
01:11:20,423 --> 01:11:22,986
- What gentleman, my lord?
- The parson!
714
01:11:23,016 --> 01:11:26,136
The reverend Colley.
The gentleman who is now dead.
715
01:11:27,726 --> 01:11:31,305
He had a drop too much, my lord.
He was overcome, like.
716
01:11:33,783 --> 01:11:36,609
Then he was not assaulted?
717
01:11:37,763 --> 01:11:42,969
- Assaulted, my lord?
- With you permission... my lord...
718
01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:48,455
Mr Colley suffered an outrage
in the fo'castle.
719
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:52,115
Who did it?
720
01:11:53,918 --> 01:11:56,622
Would it surprise you to know that
you yourself are suspected of
721
01:11:56,652 --> 01:11:59,062
this particular kind of assault?
722
01:12:01,730 --> 01:12:03,745
I know nothing, Captain sir.
Nothing at all.
723
01:12:03,775 --> 01:12:05,768
Come Rogers.
You were seen with the parson.
724
01:12:05,798 --> 01:12:08,728
What did you sailors do to him?
725
01:12:08,758 --> 01:12:11,399
What did we do, my lord ?
726
01:12:13,889 --> 01:12:16,121
Buggery, Rogers.
727
01:12:16,151 --> 01:12:17,939
Buggery!
728
01:12:20,351 --> 01:12:22,175
If you are innocent,
729
01:12:22,205 --> 01:12:24,483
then you may help us by
bringing the criminals to book.
730
01:12:24,513 --> 01:12:27,079
At the very least you can provide us
with a list of those you suspect
731
01:12:27,109 --> 01:12:30,098
capable of this particular form of...
732
01:12:30,415 --> 01:12:32,066
beastliness.
733
01:12:33,877 --> 01:12:37,304
- We want names!
- Aye, aye, sir.
734
01:12:41,474 --> 01:12:44,725
Shall I begin with the officers, sir?
735
01:12:58,358 --> 01:13:01,606
Very well, Rogers.
736
01:13:01,636 --> 01:13:04,683
You may return to your duties.
737
01:13:11,241 --> 01:13:14,736
Have we any other witnesses?
738
01:13:14,766 --> 01:13:16,757
I believe no, sir.
739
01:13:16,787 --> 01:13:20,753
And there, Mr Summers,
ends our investigation.
740
01:13:21,350 --> 01:13:24,441
Sherry, anyone? Hawkins!
741
01:13:24,471 --> 01:13:26,891
But we still do not know what happened!
742
01:13:26,921 --> 01:13:29,828
Sherry for myself and Mr Talbot, Hawkins.
743
01:13:29,858 --> 01:13:33,788
Mr Summers. I believe you must
oversee the various arrangements.
744
01:13:33,818 --> 01:13:36,594
for the unfortunate man's
committal to the deep.
745
01:13:36,624 --> 01:13:38,914
Yes, Captain.
746
01:13:40,524 --> 01:13:43,490
A low fever it is, then.
747
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,396
Will you be willing to
counter-sign the report?
748
01:13:45,426 --> 01:13:47,754
I have no official standing in this ship.
749
01:13:47,784 --> 01:13:50,165
Come now, Mr Talbot.
750
01:13:50,550 --> 01:13:53,768
Rogers has it in his power
to ruin all of us
751
01:13:53,798 --> 01:13:56,948
if he be so brazen - as I doubt not he is.
752
01:13:56,978 --> 01:13:58,177
All of us.
753
01:13:58,207 --> 01:14:01,216
Witnesses, inquiries, accusations.
754
01:14:01,347 --> 01:14:04,265
Lies. Yet more lies.
755
01:14:04,295 --> 01:14:06,493
Court martial.
756
01:14:06,523 --> 01:14:10,641
Such accusations cannot be disproved.
757
01:14:11,790 --> 01:14:15,415
Whatever the upshot, something would stick.
758
01:14:15,445 --> 01:14:18,151
Buggery is a hanging matter, sir.
759
01:14:18,181 --> 01:14:21,047
The parson died of a low fever.
760
01:14:21,077 --> 01:14:26,033
I ask you once again: will you be
willing to countersign the report?
761
01:14:32,158 --> 01:14:36,428
I will make a statement
and I will sign that.
762
01:14:38,971 --> 01:14:40,804
Thank you.
763
01:14:57,269 --> 01:14:59,174
To your health, sir.
764
01:15:02,121 --> 01:15:04,161
You mentioned informants,
Captain Anderson.
765
01:15:04,191 --> 01:15:06,750
Did I ? I... No, I think not.
766
01:15:06,780 --> 01:15:10,508
- You asked Lt Summers...
- Who replied there were none, sir. Yes?
767
01:15:10,538 --> 01:15:13,861
Not a man jack among them.
Do you understand?
768
01:15:13,891 --> 01:15:16,570
No one has come sneaking to me.
769
01:15:17,521 --> 01:15:19,997
You can go now, Hawkins.
770
01:15:29,998 --> 01:15:33,197
Servants have ears, Mr Talbot.
771
01:15:34,657 --> 01:15:37,280
Ah, yes, of course.
772
01:15:39,813 --> 01:15:43,601
- I'm very sure my fellow Wheeler has.
- Wheeler?
773
01:15:43,631 --> 01:15:45,910
Oh, yes, indeed.
774
01:15:46,649 --> 01:15:49,218
The fellow must have eyes
and ears all over him.
775
01:15:50,615 --> 01:15:54,018
Well then, until the sad ceremony
I shall return to my journal.
776
01:15:54,048 --> 01:15:58,469
Ah, the journal.
Do not forget to include, sir, that
777
01:15:58,499 --> 01:16:01,063
whatever may be said of the passengers,
778
01:16:01,093 --> 01:16:04,316
as far as the people and
my officers are concerned -
779
01:16:04,346 --> 01:16:06,929
this is a happy ship.
780
01:16:06,959 --> 01:16:09,967
I'm sure your godfather
would want to know that.
781
01:16:34,014 --> 01:16:37,093
It seems to me then
782
01:16:37,123 --> 01:16:39,108
-it still seems so-
783
01:16:39,138 --> 01:16:44,700
that I was and am consumed
by a great love of all things.
784
01:16:44,730 --> 01:16:50,199
The sea, the ship, the sky,
the gentlemen and the people
785
01:16:50,229 --> 01:16:54,524
and of course our Redeemer above all!
786
01:16:54,554 --> 01:17:01,310
Here at last is the happiest
outcome of all my distress
787
01:17:01,340 --> 01:17:03,250
and difficulty.
788
01:17:50,555 --> 01:17:53,900
Captain's company, off caps!
789
01:18:10,865 --> 01:18:14,998
I did not realize that
Mr Colley was so tall.
790
01:18:15,028 --> 01:18:19,393
It's the cannon balls, sir.
Two of 'em strung to his feet.
791
01:18:22,355 --> 01:18:26,710
'Man that is born of woman hath but a
short time to live and is full of misery.'
792
01:18:26,740 --> 01:18:29,353
'He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.'
793
01:18:29,383 --> 01:18:33,364
'He fleeth as it were a shadow
and never continueth in one stay.'
794
01:18:33,394 --> 01:18:36,834
'In the midst of life we are in death:
of whom may we seek for succour,'
795
01:18:36,864 --> 01:18:40,156
'but of thee, O Lord, who for
our sins art justly displeased.'
796
01:18:40,186 --> 01:18:42,358
'We therefore commit
his body to the deep'
797
01:18:42,388 --> 01:18:45,822
'to be turn into corruption looking
for the resurrection of the body'
798
01:18:45,852 --> 01:18:47,503
'when the sea shall give up her dead'
799
01:18:47,533 --> 01:18:51,413
'and the life of the world to come,
through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
800
01:18:51,443 --> 01:18:54,701
Present arms!
801
01:18:57,258 --> 01:18:59,575
Fire!
802
01:19:15,362 --> 01:19:16,731
Leeeoonnawwll!
803
01:19:54,619 --> 01:19:59,966
I should be a rich man, now, had
not the warmth of my constitution.
804
01:19:59,996 --> 01:20:03,327
an attachment -more than
usually found- to the sex.
805
01:20:03,357 --> 01:20:07,593
And the opportunities for excess
forced on my nature
806
01:20:07,623 --> 01:20:11,259
by the shocking corruption of English society.
807
01:20:11,289 --> 01:20:15,617
What would a dolt know
of the corruption of society?
808
01:20:15,647 --> 01:20:17,238
Indeed, sir ...
809
01:20:18,554 --> 01:20:20,267
My dear Talbot.
810
01:20:20,297 --> 01:20:22,536
I hear you've been interrogating our good crew.
811
01:20:22,566 --> 01:20:26,283
- At the captain's request, Deverel.
- Old rumble-guts?
812
01:20:26,313 --> 01:20:30,274
I tell you this: the moment we reach
Sidney Cove I shall resign my commission.
813
01:20:30,304 --> 01:20:33,231
Call the captain out and shoot him dead.
814
01:20:33,261 --> 01:20:35,793
You, sir, or the drink?
815
01:20:36,162 --> 01:20:39,596
You look as though you could use
a drop yourself, my good man.
816
01:20:39,737 --> 01:20:42,097
Bates! A glass for Mr Talbot.
817
01:20:43,724 --> 01:20:48,809
Did you know? I was the first in the
field after the death of Lord Nelson
818
01:20:48,839 --> 01:20:51,817
with a lithograph, portraying
the 'happy occasion'.
819
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,650
I've seen it. I have seen it.
820
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,253
There is a copy on the wall
of 'The Dog and Gun'.
821
01:20:56,283 --> 01:20:59,958
Although, I've always wandered:
how the devil did the whole crowd
822
01:20:59,988 --> 01:21:03,226
of young officers contrive
to be kneeling around Lord Nelson
823
01:21:03,358 --> 01:21:06,316
in attitudes of sorrow and devotion
at the hottest moment of the action?
824
01:21:06,346 --> 01:21:09,913
Aa... you are confusing
art with actuality.
825
01:21:09,943 --> 01:21:11,756
Was that not the scene you observed?
826
01:21:11,786 --> 01:21:18,562
Imagine: Lord Nelson died down below
in some stinking part of the bilges,
827
01:21:18,592 --> 01:21:22,066
with nothing to see him
but a ship's lantern.
828
01:21:22,096 --> 01:21:25,409
Who the devil's is going to
paint the picture of that?!
829
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,094
- Rembrandt, perhaps?
- A, madam, the immortal Rembrandt...
830
01:21:28,124 --> 01:21:31,056
What did you do to him, Deverel?
831
01:21:31,086 --> 01:21:33,220
You refer to the parson Colley.
832
01:21:33,250 --> 01:21:36,029
You were amongst the crew
when he was made drunk.
833
01:21:36,059 --> 01:21:39,229
When he... when he was assaulted.
834
01:21:39,827 --> 01:21:43,201
Made drunk, perhaps.
But there was no assault, sir.
835
01:21:43,231 --> 01:21:45,583
Well, if you wish me to call it by
another word then I shall.
836
01:21:45,613 --> 01:21:47,107
Buggery!
837
01:21:49,861 --> 01:21:53,315
I don't recall the parson objecting
to a damn thing, sir.
838
01:21:53,345 --> 01:21:55,511
In fact, from where I was standing,
839
01:21:55,541 --> 01:21:58,774
he seemed to be somewhat
enjoying himself.
840
01:21:59,656 --> 01:22:01,722
You lie.
841
01:22:02,835 --> 01:22:04,703
Do I, Talbot?
842
01:22:04,733 --> 01:22:08,301
Perhaps you don't know
the man as well as you may think.
843
01:22:08,331 --> 01:22:10,307
...very similar to death.
844
01:22:10,337 --> 01:22:13,923
A fine, upstanding man of the cloth.
845
01:22:13,953 --> 01:22:16,496
A truly degraded man.
846
01:22:17,127 --> 01:22:19,021
Lieutenant Deverel?
847
01:22:20,044 --> 01:22:21,624
Mr Colley.
848
01:22:21,887 --> 01:22:25,483
Come, ma'am...
'De mortuis' and all that.
849
01:22:26,723 --> 01:22:29,761
A single unlucky indulgence
was harmless enough...
850
01:22:29,791 --> 01:22:32,860
Harmless? A priest? Harmless?!
851
01:22:32,890 --> 01:22:36,891
I was not referring to drink,
but to vice... in another form.
852
01:22:36,921 --> 01:22:40,720
- Come on! The parson had no vices
- Do you doubt the lady's word, sir?
853
01:22:40,750 --> 01:22:43,657
- No, no, of course not!
- Let it be, dear Mr Prettiman.
854
01:22:43,687 --> 01:22:48,063
Mr Talbot has chosen to doubt your word,
ma'am, and I will have an apology!
855
01:22:48,093 --> 01:22:51,690
- You have it, ma'am, unreservedly.
- Oh, well.
856
01:22:53,339 --> 01:22:57,756
We learned of his vicious
habits accidentally.
857
01:22:57,786 --> 01:23:01,939
It was two sailors descending on one of
the rope's ladders who made us aware.
858
01:23:01,969 --> 01:23:04,410
Miss Granham and I were... It was dark.
859
01:23:04,440 --> 01:23:08,735
We were sheltering in that confusion
of ropes at the foot of the ladder.
860
01:23:08,906 --> 01:23:14,467
Discussing how true liberty
must lead to true equality.
861
01:23:15,368 --> 01:23:19,622
Anyway, these sailors weren't aware of
our presence so without meaning to...
862
01:23:19,652 --> 01:23:20,746
we heard all!
863
01:23:20,776 --> 01:23:23,665
Smoking is bad enough but at least
gentlemen go no further.
864
01:23:23,695 --> 01:23:24,687
But, my dear Miss Granham, I...
865
01:23:24,717 --> 01:23:27,654
It is as savage a custom as is
known amongst coloured people.
866
01:23:27,684 --> 01:23:29,206
By Jove, ma'am!
867
01:23:29,236 --> 01:23:32,080
You can't mean the gentleman
chewed tobacco!
868
01:23:32,110 --> 01:23:35,399
You shall have the facts, sir,
as they were spoken.
869
01:23:35,429 --> 01:23:37,726
Natural aptitude has made me
870
01:23:37,756 --> 01:23:41,645
an expert in the recollection of casual speech.
871
01:23:42,508 --> 01:23:45,951
One sailor said to the other,
as they descended the ladder,
872
01:23:47,349 --> 01:23:49,328
'Billy Rogers
873
01:23:49,358 --> 01:23:53,533
was laughing as a bilge pump
as he came out of the captain's cabin.'
874
01:23:53,563 --> 01:23:56,591
'He went into the heads and I sat beside him.'
875
01:23:56,713 --> 01:24:00,977
'Billy said he's know'd
most things in his life,
876
01:24:01,007 --> 01:24:04,034
but he'd never thought to
get a chew of a parson.'
877
01:24:08,759 --> 01:24:12,893
No, I fail...
I fail to see what's so amusing.
878
01:24:12,923 --> 01:24:16,083
'Blessing of the Father, of the Son'
879
01:24:16,113 --> 01:24:19,587
'and of the Holy Ghost...'
880
01:24:19,617 --> 01:24:20,721
Well, really!
881
01:24:20,751 --> 01:24:24,422
Get up! There are ladies present!
882
01:24:24,452 --> 01:24:26,718
Disgraceful!
883
01:24:38,369 --> 01:24:43,813
I think I finally understand what happened
to the pitiable, clownish Mr Colley.
884
01:24:43,843 --> 01:24:47,599
It was he -not Rogers, not Deverel-
who committed the fellatio that
885
01:24:47,629 --> 01:24:50,827
the poor fool was to die of
when he remembered it.
886
01:24:52,030 --> 01:24:57,765
And so, your lordship, in the not too
ample volume of man's knowledge of man,
887
01:24:57,795 --> 01:25:00,700
let this sentence be inserted.
888
01:25:01,238 --> 01:25:04,084
Men can die of shame.
889
01:25:13,403 --> 01:25:15,034
Wheeler!
890
01:25:21,111 --> 01:25:24,028
- Where is Wheeler?
- He cannot be traced, sir.
891
01:25:24,058 --> 01:25:27,634
- We think he may have gone overboard.
- Good God!
892
01:25:29,781 --> 01:25:33,518
- The captain mentioned informants...
- They're searching the ship now.
893
01:25:33,548 --> 01:25:37,742
Phillips will serve you in the meantime.
Shall I fetch him for you?
894
01:25:39,444 --> 01:25:42,114
Perhaps you can give this to the captain.
895
01:25:44,655 --> 01:25:46,984
I've done as he asked.
896
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:50,103
The captain will be reassured.
897
01:25:51,208 --> 01:25:57,863
What a man does -defiles him.
Not what is done by others.
898
01:25:58,670 --> 01:25:59,946
Sir?
899
01:26:02,448 --> 01:26:05,314
It's a phrase from Mr Colley's journal.
900
01:26:06,196 --> 01:26:11,177
- The matter is closed, is it not?
- Not entirely.
901
01:26:12,050 --> 01:26:15,814
For my part, I must write a letter
to Mr Colley's sister.
902
01:26:17,094 --> 01:26:21,044
I shall describe my growing
friendship with her brother.
903
01:26:21,845 --> 01:26:24,995
I shall describe my admiration for him.
904
01:26:26,554 --> 01:26:31,803
Account all his days of 'low fever'
and my grief at his death.
905
01:26:34,666 --> 01:26:38,001
It will be lies from beginning to end.
906
01:26:39,124 --> 01:26:41,199
And then?
907
01:26:45,585 --> 01:26:48,503
Australia.
908
01:26:56,756 --> 01:26:59,663
This is the last page of
your journal, my lord.
909
01:26:59,896 --> 01:27:02,975
I have turned back over
the pages ruefully enough.
910
01:27:03,654 --> 01:27:09,203
Wit? Acute observation? Entertainment?
911
01:27:09,233 --> 01:27:14,788
Why, it has become, perhaps,
some kind of sea story.
912
01:27:14,818 --> 01:27:18,209
But a sea story with, as yet, not a tempest.
913
01:27:18,239 --> 01:27:22,686
No shipwreck, no sinking, no rescue.
914
01:27:22,716 --> 01:27:27,787
No sight nor sound of an enemy,
no thundering broad sides, heroism,
915
01:27:27,817 --> 01:27:32,244
prises, gallant defences or heroic attacks.
916
01:27:33,995 --> 01:27:37,237
But there is still a long way to go.
917
01:27:40,397 --> 01:27:43,485
Get her onto the wind, Mr Cumbershum.
918
01:27:43,515 --> 01:27:46,716
Steer! One point. Large.
