THE RICHES OF THE
NEW WORLD ARE LIMITLESS,

AND THE NEW WORLD IS OURS.

WITH OUR SHIPS CARRYING THE
SPANISH FLAG TO THE SEVEN SEAS.

OUR ARMIES--
SWEEPING OVER AFRICA,

THE NEAR EAST,
AND THE FAR WEST--

INVINCIBLE EVERYWHERE
BUT ON OUR OWN DOORSTEP.

ONLY NORTHERN EUROPE
HOLDS OUT AGAINST US.

WHY?

TELL ME. WHY?

IF YOU WILL
PERMIT ME, SIRE.

OUR DEPLETED
TREASURY.

AN ARMY CAN ADVANCE

ONLY TO THE END OF
ITS PURSE STRINGS.

NONSENSE. THAT IS NOT
THE REAL REASON, PERALTA.

WHY NOT ADMIT IT?

THE REASON IS A PUNY,
ROCK-BOUND ISLAND

AS BARREN AND TREACHEROUS
AS HER QUEEN,

WHO SECRETLY GIVES AID
TO HER ENEMIES

WHILE HER PIRATES
PLUNDER OUR COMMERCE.

YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I, PERALTA,

WE CANNOT KEEP
NORTHERN EUROPE IN SUBMISSION

UNTIL WE HAVE
A RECKONING WITH ENGLAND.

IT IS NOT YET TIME,
YOUR MAJESTY.

NOT UNTIL
THE ARMADA IS BUILT.

TIME?

THE DESTINY OF SPAIN
CANNOT WAIT

UPON THE FITNESS OF TIME.

I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE,

AND THAT LIFE
IS ALL TOO SHORT

FOR ME TO FULFILL
THAT DESTINY.

DON ÁLVAREZ.

SIRE.

YOU WILL PROCEED AT ONCE
TO ENGLAND AS MY AMBASSADOR.

YOU WILL ASSURE
THE QUEEN OF MY PATIENCE

AND CONTINUED AFFECTION
TO ALLAY ANY SUSPICION

IN REGARDS TO OUR PLANS.

AS YOU WISH,
YOUR MAJESTY.

WITH ENGLAND CONQUERED,
NOTHING CAN STAND IN OUR WAY.

NORTHERN AFRICA,

EUROPE AS FAR EAST
AS THE URALS,

THEN THE NEW WORLD--
TO THE NORTH, TO THE SOUTH,

WEST TO THE PACIFIC,

OVER THE PACIFIC
TO CHINA AND THE INDIES

WILL OUR EMPIRE SPREAD.

ONE DAY BEFORE MY DEATH,
WE SHALL SIT HERE

AND GAZE AT THIS MAP
UPON THE WALL.

IT WILL HAVE CEASED TO BE
A MAP OF THE WORLD.

IT WILL BE SPAIN.

ALOFT, THERE!

HOLD TAUT ON
THE BOW LINE!

WE ARE
LOSING WIND.

I REGRET OUR SLOW PASSAGE,
YOUR EXCELLENCY,

BUT IT SEEMS OUR SAIL
CANNOT ENTICE THE WIND.

THEN WE SHALL NOT REACH
ENGLAND BY WEDNESDAY.

PERHAPS--
IF THE GALLEY HOLDS OUT.

CAPTAIN LOPEZ, IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

THAT MY NIECE BE
PRESENTED TO THE QUEEN

BEFORE HER NEW MAIDS
OF HONOR ARE CHOSEN.

THEY SAY THAT ELIZABETH

SURROUNDS HERSELF
WITH BEAUTY

IN THE HOPE THAT
IT MAY BE CONTAGIOUS.

YOUR NIECE WILL HAVE
NO TROUBLE

MEETING THE QUEEN'S
REQUIREMENTS.

MARÍA,
YOU MIGHT HIT IT ONCE

WHERE I CAN REACH IT.

YOU SAID YOU NEEDED
THE EXERCISE, MARTHA.

WELL, I'VE HAD IT,

ENOUGH FOR
THE WHOLE VOYAGE.

READY, MARTHA?

YES, LOVE.

-LIEUTENANT.
-SIR.

SEND ANOTHER LOOKOUT ALOFT
TO THE MIZZENTOP.

YES, SIR.

ANOTHER LOOKOUT
ALOFT TO THE MIZZENTOP!

WHY THESE EXTRA
PRECAUTIONS, CAPTAIN?

ISN'T THERE FOLKS
WHO LOOK OUT ENOUGH?

I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR
SAFETY, YOUR EXCELLENCY,

AND WE ARE ENTERING THE LANES
OF THE ENGLISH PIRATES.

HOW VERY INTERESTING.

IF YOUR MEN SPY
ANY OF THEIR SHIPS,

I WISH
YOU'D LET ME KNOW.

LIKE HAWKS, DON ÁLVAREZ,

THEY'RE ON YOU
BEFORE YOU SEE THEM.

THEY SAY THE DEVIL
BLOWS IN THEIR SAILS.

SURELY, YOU DON'T BELIEVE
THESE MYTHS, CAPTAIN.

AT ANY RATE, THEY WOULD
HARDLY DARE ATTACK A SHIP

WITH HIS MAJESTY'S
AMBASSADOR ABOARD.

IT WOULD BE AS MUCH
AS THEIR HEADS ARE WORTH

WHEN THE NEWS
REACHED THE QUEEN.

PERHAPS. EXCUSE ME,
YOUR EXCELLENCY,

BUT THE WIND
DOES NOT SERVE WELL.

BOATSWAIN!

AYE, AYE, SIR.

RAISE THE BEAT
8 COUNTS.

AT ONCE, CAPTAIN.

THERE BELOW--

RAISE THE BEAT OF THE OARS
8 COUNTS.

AYE, AYE.
8 COUNTS, SEÑOR.

RAISE THE BEAT
8 COUNTS.

I KNOW WHERE WE ARE.

YOU CAN'T TELL, WILLIAM.

WE HAVEN'T KNOWN
WHERE WE WERE FOR MONTHS.

I'M SURE THIS TIME.

FEEL THE MOTION,
THE GROUND SWELL?

ONLY ONE PLACE
LIKE THAT--

THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

WE'RE IN
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL.

THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL.

THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL.

ENGLISH CHANNEL.

ENGLISH SHIP OFF
THE STARBOARD BOW!

BOATSWAIN, HAVE THE
DRUMMERS BEAT TO QUARTERS!

MASTER GUNNER, HAVE THE
DECK CABIN DOUBLE-SHOTTED.

AN ATTACK!

HOLD BACK ON YOUR OARS.
PRETEND TO ROW.

HOLD BACK ON YOUR OARS.

HAVE YOUR MEN IN POSITIONS!
TO YOUR STATIONS!

GUN CREWS
TO YOUR STATIONS!

CHARGE YOUR CANNON

AND STAND READY
TO REPEL ATTACK!

SEND THE ARCHERS AND MUSKETMEN
TO THEIR POSITIONS.

ARCHERS AND MUSKETMEN,

TO YOUR STATIONS!

MASTER-AT-ARMS,

DOUBLE THE GUARD
AT THE MAIN HATCH.

DOUBLE THE GUARD
AT THE MAIN HATCH!

RUN OUT YOUR GUNS!

PAY YOUR SIGHTS
TO HIS RIGGING!

I MUST ASK YOU
TO GO BELOW, DON ÁLVAREZ.

YOU WILL NOT
BE SAFE HERE.

THE PIRATES
WON'T DARE ATTACK

WHEN THEY SEE
THE KING'S EMBLEM.

GUNS MAY STOP THEM--
NOTHING ELSE.

RAISE THE BEAT TO 20!

AYE, AYE, SEÑOR!

RAISE THE BEAT
TO 20!

GET TOGETHER!

TOGETHER, I SAID!

FASTER,
YOU BRITISH DOGS!

FASTER!

PULL SOME WEIGHT
WITH THAT OAR!

AHOY, CAPTAIN!
IT'S THORPE'S SHIP!

THE ALBATROSS!

THORPE?
WHY, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

ONLY A MONTH AGO
HE WAS AT SAN DOMINGO.

LOOK, CAPTAIN--
ON THE STAFF!

THE BEARER OF
THE ALBATROSS.

YOU BETTER TAKE COVER
BELOW, MATEY,

OR YOU'LL BE STOPPING
A CANNONBALL.

SHE'S HAULING CLOSER
TO THE WIND!

FEAST YOUR EYES ON THAT!

THE SPANIARD MOUNTS 40 GUNS
IF SHE MOUNTS ONE.

SHE'S LOADED DOWN, TOO.

MAYBE SHE'S TOO BIG A BITE
FOR OUR TEETH, MATSON?

DID YOU EVER SEE A SPANIARD

THE CAPTAIN COULDN'T
SWALLOW WHOLE?

CAPTAIN'S GOT THE SPANIARDS
BEWITCHED, THAT'S WHAT HE HAS.

YES, AND DIDN'T
WE DUST OFF

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS'
BRITCHES, TOO?

AYE BY THAT, ME LAD,
AND THE DUST WAS WORTH

30 SHILLINGS
TO THE OUNCE.

WHAT A PRIZE!
AND I DON'T THINK

SHE'LL GET AWAY
FROM US, SCOTT?

THE ALBATROSS ISN'T A BARGE
YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM.

WE'RE SUCKING THE WIND
OUT OF THE SPANIARDS' SAILS.

WELL, IF IT'S AIR
THAT THEY NEED,

WE CAN PUT A DRAFT THROUGH
THEIR BOW PRETTY QUICK.

CAPTAIN! WHAT ABOUT IT?

SHALL WE LET THEM
HAVE A ROUND?

YOU FIRE WHEN I GIVE
THE WORD, MR. PITT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

MR. PRESTON!
AYE, AYE, SIR.

GIVE THEM A HAIL,
IF YOU PLEASE, MR. PRESTON.

SUGGEST THEY LOWER
THEIR COLORS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

SEÑOR CAPTAIN!

LOWER YOUR FLAG!

LOWER YOUR FLAG!

IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE
THAT SPANIARD

TO SURRENDER
AND SPOIL ALL OUR FUN!

PERFECTLY POSSIBLE,
MR. PITT.

ONCE MORE, MR. PRESTON.

YOU HEAR ME?

LOWER YOUR FLAG!

ONE LONE CANNONBALL

OUT OF AN ENTIRE
BROADSIDE!

VERY WELL, MR. PITT.

SHOW THEM HOW
TO LOWER THOSE COLORS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

SCOTT, TEACH THEM
SOME ETIQUETTE.

AYE, AYE!
READY, MEN?

LAY FOR THE FOREMAST
AND FIRE ON THE UPROLL.

AYE, AYE, SIR!

GET US READY
FOR A BROADSIDE!

PRIMED
AND READY, SIR!

PRIMED
AND READY, SIR!

FIRE!

STAND BY TO COME ABOUT
ON A LARBOARD TACK!

GO TO YOUR POSTS!

GO TO YOUR POSTS!

GUNNERS, STAND BY
TO RAKE HER STERN!

FIRE!

GET OFF THERE!

HEAVE THE DEAD OVERBOARD!

NOW, HARD TO
STARBOARD.

STARBOARD
YOUR HELM.

THE SPANIARD'S
LISTING, CAPTAIN.

WE MUST HAVE HIT IT
BELOW THE WATERLINE!

VERY GOOD, BURKE.
CEASE FIRING!

CEASE FIRING!

CEASE FIRING!

LANCES AND CUTLASSES
NOW, MEN!

WE'RE GOING TO BOARD HER!

A SHARP EDGE TO CUT
THE GOLD BUTTONS

OFF THE SPANISH
CAPTAIN'S EPAULET!

NOW, MEN!
NOBODY'S TO BOARD HER

BEFORE I GIVE THE WORD.
IS THAT CLEAR?

AYE, AYE, SIR!

ALL RIGHT,
MR. PRESTON!

HAUL INTO HER
HARD OVER HER STARBOARD!

GRAPPLING HOOKS AWAY!

AWAY!

HA HA!

OVER THE SIDE, MEN!

BOARDERS AWAY!

YOUR SHIP'S SINKING,
CAPTAIN.

THEN WE SHALL DROWN
TOGETHER.

BRAVE BUT IMPRACTICAL.

NOW, WE ENGLISH
ARE A PRACTICAL PEOPLE.

I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF DROWNING WITH YOU.

-MR. PITT!
-AYE?

THE TRUMPETER. QUICK!

AYE, AYE, SIR!

SOUND A SURRENDER.

HURRY WHILE THERE'S STILL
BREATH IN YOUR BELLY.

I CONGRATULATE YOU,
CAPTAIN.

VERY FORTUNATE MOMENT
FOR THE SURRENDER.

-MR. SCOTT.
-AYE, AYE, SIR.

YOU'LL TAKE CHARGE.

MUSTER THE PRISONERS
AND STACK THE WEAPONS FORWARD.

TO THE MAIN DECK, MEN!

-DISARM THEM!
-AYE, AYE, SIR.

IT'S BEEN A LOVELY DAY,
HASN'T IT?

-LOGAN.
-AYE, SIR?

TAKE ENOUGH MEN,
GO BELOW,

AND FREE THE SLAVES
IMMEDIATELY.

AYE, SIR.

MATSON.

COME HERE.

AYE, SIR?

THAT WAS
VERY BRAVE OF YOU,

TRYING TO TAKE
THIS SHIP SINGLE-HANDED.

THANK YOU, SIR.

BRAVE BUT STUPID.
BY DISOBEYING ORDERS,

YOU RISKED THE LIVES
OF THE MEN BEHIND YOU.

YOU SHOULD
PAY FOR THAT

WITH YOUR OWN,
SHOULDN'T YOU?

YES, SIR.

PRESTON!

AYE, SIR?

TAKE THIS MAN ABOARD
THE ALBATROSS.

HAVE HIM
PUT IN IRONS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

BUT, CAPTAIN,
I WAS ONLY DOING ME DUTY.

NOW, YOU CAN'T BLAME
A MAN FOR DOING THAT!

YOU CAN'T BLAME ME
FOR THAT!

BY THE WAY,
GENTLEMEN,

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D

PASS THE WORD AMONG
THE OFFICERS AND MEN

THAT I CONSIDER
THEIR CONDUCT VERY GALLANT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

AND YOURS ESPECIALLY,
MR. PITT.

THANK YOU FOR CONVINCING
THE TRUMPETER.

HA HA HA HA!

LOOKS LIKE A VERY RICH
CARGO, MR. PITT.

A WINDFALL,
CAPTAIN, SIR.

GOLD, SILVER, AND PLENTY
OF BARREL STUFF.

LOOK SHARP THERE, BOYS.
GET IT UP ON DECK.

SHE'S SETTLING FAST.

THIS DOOR'S
LOCKED, SIR.

LEND HIM A HAND THERE,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

STAND ASIDE.

UNCLE!

MY CHILD!
CHILD!

NOW, MEN.
LET'S LOOK AROUND IN HERE.

IF YOU'D BE KIND ENOUGH
TO STAND TO ONE SIDE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

ARE YOU THE CAPTAIN
OF THESE PIRATES?

BURKE, LEND MR. PITT
A HAND HERE

-WITH THIS CHEST.
-AYE, SIR.

NOW, MEN, JUST
THROW EVERYTHING

OUTSIDE HERE
IN THE PASSAGEWAY.

SHARP ABOUT IT.
BOGGS!

COUPLE OF EXTRA HANDS
IN HERE, SHARP!

I AM KING PHILLIP'S
AMBASSADOR--

YOU'LL PARDON ME, SIR.

WE'RE A LITTLE PRESSED FOR
TIME. YOUR SHIP IS SINKING.

MR. PITT, IF YOU FIND
THE SHIP'S PAPERS,

WE'LL TAKE
THOSE ABOARD, TOO.

AYE, SIR.

CAPTAIN.
NOT AT ALL BAD.

UNCLE, MY JEWELS!

DON'T YOU DARE
TOUCH THOSE JEWELS!

AN ENGLISHWOMAN.

BY HEAVENS,
AN ENGLISHWOMAN.

AND NOT TOO PROUD OF IT
AT THE MOMENT.

DO YOU KNOW,
THE LAST TIME

I LAID MY EYES
ON AN ENGLISHWOMAN--

MR. PITT, YOU'LL HAVE TIME
TO DISCUSS THAT LATER.

AYE, SIR.

NOW, LADS, GET THAT
SHARPLY ON THE DECK.

YOUR EXCELLENCY, MARÍA,

THESE ARE NOT
TYPICAL ENGLISHMEN.

PLEASE DON'T THINK--

QUITE RIGHT. THEY AIN'T ALL
AS 'ANDSOME AS WE ARE!

NOW, SIR,
IF I MAY SUGGEST, YOU--

YOU AND YOUR PARTY

HAD BETTER
GO ABOARD MY VESSEL.

CAPTAIN THORPE,
I DEMAND TO KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT
YOUR INTENTIONS ARE.

TO GET YOU SAFELY
ABOARD MY SHIP.

AND TO GET YOU OFF AGAIN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I'LL LAND YOU AT
THE FIRST ENGLISH PORT.

I'LL NOT GO
ON YOUR SHIP.

I'D RATHER DROWN
THAN ACCEPT YOUR HOSPITALITY.

I--

MR. PITT,
THIS YOUNG LADY,

I HOPE, WILL
CHANGE HER MIND.

IF SHE DOESN'T,
CHANGE IT FOR HER

AND HAVE HER
CARRIED ABOARD.

AYE, SIR.

-BOSUN!
-AYE, SIR!

LOGAN, WINTERS,
THESE MEN ARE WEAK.

GET THEM OVER THE SIDE
AND SEE THEY DON'T FALL.

PRESTON!

COME ON, MEN!
COME ON, MEN!

OVER THE SIDE!

COME ALONG, LADIES.

YOU HEARD WHAT
THE CAPTAIN SAID,

AND ORDERS ARE ORDERS.

CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN!

TUTTLE!

WHY, TUTTLE,
IT MUST BE 4 YEARS

SINCE WE SAILED
TOGETHER.

IT'S 4 YEARS SINCE

THAT I'VE TROD THE DECK
OF AN ENGLISH SHIP, SIR.

WELL, YOU'LL SOON BE
IN ENGLAND, NOW.

NOW, COME ALONG,
ALL OF YOU,

AND I'LL SEE YOU
ALL CATCH UP

WITH
YOUR RUM RATIONS.

CAPTAIN THORPE, THIS IS
AN INSULT TO HIS MAJESTY.

I BOARD YOUR SHIP
UNDER PROTEST.

AT LEAST YOU'LL FIND
ENGLISH HOSPITALITY

BETTER THAN
THEY FOUND SPANISH.

MR. PITT, AS SOON AS THE
SLAVES ARE TRANSFERRED,

SEE THE AMBASSADOR
AND HIS PARTY

-GET ON BOARD, TOO.
-AYE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, MEN.
STAND BY, READY TO MOVE.

WITH SPEED THERE, MEN!

GET THAT STUFF
LOADED BELOW!

KEEP THOSE RAILS CLEAR.
LIVELY NOW!

ABANDON SHIP.
EVERYBODY OVER THE SIDE.

NOW, THEN, CAPTAIN.
YOU'VE HEARD THE ORDER.

WITH YOUR PERMISSION, SIR.

I'M STILL THE CAPTAIN.

YES, OF COURSE.
MY MISTAKE, CAPTAIN.

LET GO OF THOSE LINES.

WATCH YOUR AMIDSHIPS.

-CUT!
-AYE, SIR.

AND HAVE ALL SAILS TRIMMED,
IF YOU PLEASE, MR. SCOTT.

HAUL IN YOUR MAINLINE
AND CLEAR YOUR PORT HOST.

QUARTERMASTER,
HOLD HER STEADY AS SHE GOES.

STEADY AS SHE GOES.

STEADY AS SHE GOES.

MEN, FROM NOW ON,

BOTH CREWS WILL LAY ASIDE
PAST DIFFERENCES.

SPANISH SAILORS WILL HAVE
FULL FREEDOM OF THE DECKS,

WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE POWDER MAGAZINE.

THOSE OF YOU
LATELY CALLED SLAVES

WILL HAVE NO FURTHER DUTIES
ABOARD THIS SHIP.

HOORAY!

AND IF THERE ARE THOSE AMONG YOU
WHO ARE STILL FOR THE SEA,

WHY, WE'VE PLENTY OF BERTHS
ON THIS SHIP

FOR GOOD AND WILLING MEN.

BY NOW, YOU KNOW THE PURPOSE
OF THE SEA HAWKS--

IN OUR OWN WAY,
TO SERVE ENGLAND AND THE QUEEN.

HOORAY! HOORAY!

MR. BURKE, DISMISS ALL
THESE MEN, IF YOU PLEASE,

AND ATTEND
TO THEIR NEEDS.

NOW, YOUR EXCELLENCY,
WE'LL TRY TO MAKE YOU

AND YOUR PARTY
JUST AS COMFORTABLE

AS THIS SOMEWHAT
OVERCROWDED SHIP PERMITS.

MR. PITT WILL SHOW YOU
THE WAY.

ARE MY MEN TO BE FREED
WHEN WE LAND?

WHY, CERTAINLY, CAPTAIN.

WE HAVE NO INQUISITION
IN ENGLAND.

NO. WE UNDERSTAND
YOU BELIEVE IN DIRECT ACTION.

DON ÁLVAREZ,
I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR FEELINGS,

BUT SINCE FATE
HAS THROWN US TOGETHER,

WHY THEN,
LET'S MAKE THE BEST OF IT.

IT WAS A CLEVER STRATEGY,
CAPTAIN THORPE,

TO SOUND THE SURRENDER.

WHY, THANK YOU,
CAPTAIN.

PERHAPS ONE OF THE SECRETS
OF VICTORY IS MAKING

YOUR ENEMY ANTICIPATE
DEFEAT, DON'T YOU AGREE?

MORE WINE,
YOUR EXCELLENCY?

NO, THANK YOU.

I MUST COMPLIMENT YOU
ON YOUR WINE, CAPTAIN.

NOWHERE HAVE I
TASTED BETTER.

THERE IS
NO BETTER WINE

THAN GOOD MADEIRA,
CAPTAIN.

CROSS, JUST WHERE
DID WE PICK THIS UP?

FROM THE GALLEY OUT OF
VERA CRUZ, CAPTAIN.

NO, IT WASN'T.
IT WAS OUT OF

THE GOVERNOR'S CELLAR
AT CARTAGENA.

NO, CARTEGENA'S
THE PLACE WE HAD

ALL THE PORTUGUESE CHEESES,
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

BUT THERE'S
NO CHEESE LIKE CHESHIRE,

IS THERE, MR. PITT?

NO PLACE LIKE ENGLAND
FOR ANYTHING,

TO MY WAY OF THINKING.

I WAS JUST THINKING TO
MYSELF, MISS LATHAM,

WEREN'T YOU
A BIT LONESOME

IN A HEATHEN COUNTRY
LIKE SPAIN?

SPAIN IS AN OLD COUNTRY

WITH A VERY RICH CULTURE,
MR. PITT. IN FACT,

THERE IS MUCH IN SPAIN
THAT WE ENGLISH COULD PROFIT BY.

THANK YOU, MADAM.

WELL, WE'RE CERTAINLY
DOING THE BEST WE CAN.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN ADMIRING
YOUR TABLE SILVER, CAPTAIN.

NO DOUBT ANOTHER OF
THE CAPTAIN'S ACQUISITIONS.

NO DOUBT. PERHAPS IF
YOUR EXCELLENCY

WILL EXAMINE
THE DESIGN,

YOU'LL RECOGNIZE
THE COAT OF ARMS

OF THE SPANISH VICEROY
OF SAN DOMINGO.

SAN DOMINGO?

HOW INTERESTING.

I SHOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE
THAT WE DRINK

TO THE HEALTH OF--

I DO NOT DRINK
WITH THIEVES AND PIRATES.

THE HEALTH I WAS
ABOUT TO PROPOSE

WAS TO HER MAJESTY,
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND.

MR. PITT, OBVIOUSLY
DOÑA MARÍA HAS NO WINE.

TO HER MAJESTY,
THE QUEEN.

TO THE QUEEN.

"BUILD A FLEET.
BUILD A FLEET."

ALWAYS
THE SAME ADVICE.

AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH DEMANDS ON MY TREASURY.

IF MILORD ADMIRAL IS SO INTENT
ON BUILDING A FLEET,

PERHAPS HE WILL
ALSO ADVISE ME

WHERE TO GET THE MONEY
TO PAY FOR IT.

YOUR PARDON, BUT MAY
I REMIND YOUR GRACE

THAT OUR PRIVATEERS

HAVE MADE SUBSTANTIAL
CONTRIBUTIONS

FOR THE VERY PURPOSE
OF PROVIDING A NAVY?

A LARGE FLEET IS A LUXURY
THAT ENGLAND CAN ILL-AFFORD.

YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIENDS
THE SEA HAWKS

THAT I HAVE MORE URGENT USES
FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS.

BESIDES,
THERE'S ANOTHER RISK

WHICH SIR JOHN
FAILS TO RECKON.

SHOULD ENGLAND ATTEMPT
TO VIE IN SEA POWER,

IT MAY COST HER
THE FRIENDSHIP OF SPAIN.

I BELIEVE MILORD
VALUES TOO HIGHLY

SOMETHING WHICH
DOESN'T EXIST.

HAVE WE ANY EVIDENCE
OF PHILLIP'S FRIENDSHIP?

HIS FORBEARANCE
WHEN OUR PRIVATEERS

HARASS HIS COMMERCE AND
PLUNDER HIS POSSESSIONS.

I SUSPECT THAT PHILLIP
FORBEARS ONLY BECAUSE...

WELL, WHAT ELSE CAN HE DO?

HE CAN BIDE HIS
TIME, YOUR MAJESTY,

UNTIL HIS GREAT
ARMADA IS BUILT,

AND THEN HE CAN
STRIKE QUICKLY

BEFORE WE ARE READY.

I FEAR SIR JOHN HAS DELUSIONS
OF DANGER, YOUR GRACE.

SPAIN IS A VAST EMPIRE.

NATURALLY, SHE NEEDS
A VAST FLEET TO DEFEND IT.

THE ARMADA'S
NO THREAT TO ENGLAND

UNLESS, BY PROVOKING PHILLIP,
WE CHOOSE TO MAKE IT SO.

LET ME BE CLEAR,
WOLFINGHAM.

MY REASON FOR REFUSING
TO BUILD A FLEET

IS TO SPARE THE PURSES
OF MY SUBJECTS,

NOT THE FEELINGS
OF PHILLIP.

IN FACT, I HAVE
SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS

TO PUT TO
HIS AMBASSADOR.

IS DON ÁLVAREZ NOW DUE?

OVERDUE, YOUR GRACE.

I FEEL SOME CONCERN
FOR HIS SAFETY.

SPANISH SHIPS ARE
NOTORIOUSLY SLOW.

HE SHOULD HAVE COME
ON AN ENGLISH BOAT.

LIFT SAILS!

LOOK AT HIM,
WILL YA?

HE'S AS TONGUE-TIED
AS A SCHOOLBOY.

HE'S ALWAYS THE SAME WHEN
HE HAS TO TALK TO A WOMAN.

HIM WHAT'S TAKEN
FLEETS OF SPANISH SHIPS

CAN'T TRADE WORDS
WITH A SLIP OF A GIRL.

I CAN'T
FIGURE HIM AT ALL.

SHIP'S THE ONLY THING
HE CARES ABOUT.

HE HATES THE SIGHT
OF BLOOMIN' WOMEN.

NOT THE QUEEN,
HE DON'T.

I HEAR HER MAJESTY'S
THE ONLY WOMAN

HE COULD EVER TALK UP TO
WITHOUT HIS KNEES BUCKLING.

THAT'S DIFFERENT.
MAN-TO-MAN, I CALLS IT.

HA HA!
HA HA!

COME ON,
GET ON WITH YOUR WORK.

WHAT ARE YOU
STANDING THERE FOR?

WELL,
GOOD MORNING.

HAVE YOU...

HAVE YOU BEEN
COMFORTABLE ON BOARD?

YES.

GOOD.

WELL, THAT PROMONTORY
OVER THERE,

THE ONE YOU'RE
LOOKING AT,

IT'S GOT A VERY
INTERESTING HISTORY.

IT GOT ITS NAME
FROM...

FROM...

YES?

WELL, I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW IT GOT ITS NAME.

HAVE YOU BEEN
COMFORTABLE ON BOARD?

YES, THANK YOU.

GOOD.

OF COURSE, WE HAVEN'T MANY
OF THE LUXURIES OF GALLEYS,

BUT SHE'S A FINE SHIP.

WE'RE QUITE PROUD OF HER.

ARE YOU?

YES.

WELL, AT ALL EVENTS,

YOU'LL FIND HER SAFER
FROM ATTACK...

AND YOU'LL GET THERE
QUICKER, TOO.

WE'VE AN OLD PROVERB
IN ENGLAND.

IT SAYS, "THOSE WHO SAIL
WITHOUT OARS

STAY ON GOOD TERMS
WITH THE WIND."

YOU...
YOU DON'T CARE TO TALK.

I'M NOT IN THE HABIT
OF CONVERSING WITH THIEVES.

I THOUGHT I MADE THAT
QUITE CLEAR, CAPTAIN THORPE.

WHY, YES, ALL EXCEPT
YOUR DEFINITION.

TELL ME, IS A THIEF
AN ENGLISHMAN WHO STEALS?

IT'S ANYBODY WHO STEALS,

WHETHER IT'S PIRACY
OR ROBBING WOMEN.

I SEE.

I'VE BEEN ADMIRING
SOME OF THE JEWELS

WE FOUND IN YOUR CHEST,

PARTICULARLY THE WROUGHT GOLD.

IT'S AZTEC, ISN'T IT?

I WONDER JUST HOW THOSE INDIANS
WERE PERSUADED TO PART WITH IT.

EASE YOUR FORESHEET!

EASE YOUR FORESHEET!

HAUL IN YOUR SPRITSAIL!

HAUL IN YOUR SPRITSAIL!

ENGLAND!

YOUR GRACE.

LORD WOLFINGHAM.

WITH YOUR GRACE'S
PERMISSION,

I WISH TO PRESENT
TO YOUR MAJESTY

HIS EXCELLENCY DON JOSÉ
ÁLVAREZ DE CÓRDOBA,

AMBASSADOR FROM
THE COURT OF SPAIN.

YOUR MAJESTY.

WELCOME TO ENGLAND,
YOUR EXCELLENCY.

THANK YOU,
MILADY.

MAY I PRESENT
MY NIECE,

DOÑA MARÍA
ÁLVAREZ DE CÓRDOBA?

YOUR NIECE WILL GRACE
ENGLAND BY HER PRESENCE.

YOU'RE VERY KIND,
YOUR MAJESTY.

AND YOU ARE
VERY BEAUTIFUL.

DON ÁLVAREZ, MILORD CHANCELLOR
INFORMS ME

THAT YOU BRING NEW GRIEVANCES

FROM YOUR MUCH AGGRIEVED
MONARCH, KING PHILLIP.

THERE IS NOTHING MILORD
AND KING DESIRES MORE

THAN AN END TO GRIEVANCES
BETWEEN OUR TWO NATIONS

AND THE GROWTH
OF FRIENDSHIP.

THEN IT MAY BE WELL FOR HIM
TO CONSIDER THAT FRIENDSHIP

GROWS SLOWLY WHEN NURTURED
ONLY BY COMPLAINTS.

MAY I SUGGEST,
YOUR GRACE,

THAT THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS
BETWEEN OURSELVES

AND HIS EXCELLENCY'S
GOVERNMENT

ARISE FROM
ONE SOURCE ALONE--

THE PIRATICAL ACTS
OF ENGLISH PRIVATEERS?

REPRISALS, LORD WOLFINGHAM,
ARE NOT PIRATICAL ACTS.

LAST YEAR, DID NOT KING PHILLIP

CONFISCATE 12 ENGLISH SHIPS
LOADED WITH GRAIN

IN SPANISH PORTS?

DO I UNDERSTAND YOUR GRACE
TO JUSTIFY

THIS MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON
MY SHIP ON THE GROUNDS OF--

YOU FORGET, DON ÁLVAREZ,
THE QUEEN NEEDS JUSTIFY NOTHING!

HOWEVER, I HAD NO INTENTION
OF FORGETTING

AN INSULT TO AN AMBASSADOR
TO THE COURT.

HOW MUCH TREASURE
WAS THERE, DON ÁLVAREZ?

APPROXIMATELY
30,000 POUNDS,

BESIDES THE LOSS
OF THE SHIP.

AND WHERE IS
CAPTAIN THORPE?

AS SOON AS I WAS INFORMED
OF THE INCIDENT, YOUR GRACE,

I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF SUMMONING HERE

ALL THE SEA HAWKS
NOW IN PORT.

YOU ARE VERY THOUGHTFUL,
MILORD.

YOUR GRACE.

ADMIT THE SEA HAWKS
AT ONCE.

CAPTAIN FROBISHER,

CAPTAIN HAWKINS,

CAPTAIN WOLFE,

CAPTAIN STANLEY,

CAPTAIN LOGAN,

CAPTAIN LATOUR.

YOUR MAJESTY.

WHERE IS
CAPTAIN THORPE?

DID YOU HEAR ME?
WHERE IS CAPTAIN THORPE?

WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM,
YOUR MAJESTY.

IT APPEARS HE DISREGARDED
MILORD CHANCELLOR'S SUMMONS.

I ANTICIPATED THAT,
YOUR GRACE,

AND DISPATCHED
A CASTLE GUARD

TO BRING HIM HERE
UNDER ARREST.

YOU SHOW
GREAT FORESIGHT, MILORD.

YOUR GRACE.

WELL, CAPTAIN HAWKINS?

ANY OF US WOULD
WILLINGLY ACT AS HOSTAGE

TO ASSURE YOUR GRACE OF
CAPTAIN THORPE'S APPEARANCE.

AN EASY PLEDGE, CAPTAIN HAWKINS,
WITH THE CASTLE GUARDS

ALREADY DISPATCHED TO BRING
HIM HERE UNDER ARREST.

IF I MAY SPEAK
FOR MY ASSOCIATES,

I FEEL WE MUST SHARE THE
BURDEN OF YOUR DISPLEASURE

WITH CAPTAIN THORPE.

I SEE. YOU APPROVE
OF HIS ACTIVITIES.

WE SHARE HIS VIEWS,
YOUR GRACE,

AND TO THE BEST
OF OUR ABILITY,

HIS ACTIVITIES
IN BEHALF OF ENGLAND.

THEN HEREAFTER YOU WILL ALLOW
ME TO DETERMINE IN WHAT MANNER

ENGLAND MAY BEST BE SERVED!

WHO DARES TO--

CAPTAIN THORPE BEGS AN IMMEDIATE
AUDIENCE, YOUR GRACE.

ADMIT HIM.

YES, YOUR GRACE.

YOUR MAJESTY.

CAPTAIN THORPE,
WHY DID YOU FAIL

TO ANSWER MILORD
WOLFINGHAM'S SUMMONS?

I WAS IN THE CASTLE
AT THE APPOINTED TIME,

YOUR GRACE,
BUT I HAD AN ACCIDENT.

AN ACCIDENT?

WELL, PERHAPS NOT
EXACTLY AN ACCIDENT.

I LOST SOMETHING TO WHICH
I WAS QUITE ATTACHED.

CAPTAIN THORPE,
I DISPATCHED A CASTLE GUARD

TO BRING YOU HERE.

THANK YOU,
MILORD.

THAT WAS
VERY KIND OF YOU.

THE ESCORT WAS
REALLY NOT NECESSARY.

I KNOW MY WAY HERE
VERY WELL.

CAPTAIN THORPE, I HAVE
A MORE SERIOUS CHARGE

PREFERRED AGAINST YOU.

HIS EXCELLENCY, DON ÁLVAREZ,
AMBASSADOR TO THIS COURT,

STATES THAT YOU DID ATTACK,
PLUNDER, AND SINK

THE GALEA SANTA EULARIA,

ON WHICH HE WAS A PASSENGER
UNDER THE FLAG OF PROTECTION

OF HIS SOVEREIGN,
KING PHILLIP OF SPAIN.

IS THIS CHARGE TRUE?

PART OF IT,
YOUR GRACE.

QUITE A LARGE
PART OF IT.

PART OF IT?
WELL, WHAT'S THE REST?

WE ALSO SET FREE
MANY ENGLISHMEN

IMPRISONED AS GALLEY SLAVES
ON HIS EXCELLENCY'S SHIP.

YOUR GRACE, THESE MEN
REFERRED TO BY CAPTAIN THORPE

WERE DULY TRIED AND
SENTENCED TO THE GALLEY

BY A QUALIFIED COURT.

I SUBMIT, YOUR GRACE, THAT
THE COURT OF THE INQUISITION

IS NOT QUALIFIED TO PASS FAIR
JUDGMENT ON ENGLISH SEAMEN,

NOR TO SUBJECT THEM

TO THE CRUELTIES
OF A SPANISH GALLEY.

AYE! AYE!

YOUR GRACE,
IT APPEARS THE CAPTAIN

WISHES TO JUSTIFY WHAT
IN PLAIN WORDS,

IS A DESIRE FOR PLUNDER

WITH NO RESPECT FOR
THE INTEREST OF SPAIN.

THE INTERESTS OF SPAIN
DO NOT COMMAND MY RESPECT

AS THEY EVIDENTLY DO
HIS LORDSHIP.

YOUR MAJESTY, I PROTEST!

CAPTAIN THORPE, AT LEAST SHOW
PROPER RESPECT FOR MY MINISTERS!

AND SO YOU HAVE TAKEN IT
UPON YOURSELF

TO REMEDY THE DEFECTS
OF SPANISH JUSTICE.

INSOFAR AS IT LIES WITHIN
MY POWER, YES, YOUR GRACE.

AND YOU CONCEIVE IT TO BE
PART OF YOUR MISSION

TO ASSAULT AND LOOT THE SHIP
OF AN AMBASSADOR TO THE COURT.

CAPTAIN THORPE, DO YOU IMAGINE
THAT WE ARE AT WAR WITH SPAIN?

YOUR GRACE, SPAIN IS
AT WAR WITH THE WORLD.

AYE!

ENOUGH OF THIS.
LISTEN TO ME, EVERY ONE OF YOU!

NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU DARE
IN MY PRESENCE

TO CONDONE YOUR CRIMES
UNDER THE MASK OF PATRIOTISM!

NO MORE OF SUCH TALK,
DO YOU HEAR?

AND FOR THE FUTURE,
LET ME WARN YOU

THAT ANY UNWARRANTED ATTACK

UPON THE PERSON OR PROPERTY
OF SPANISH SUBJECTS

WILL COST THE GUILTY PARTY
HIS HEAD!

HIS HEAD, IS THAT CLEAR?

NOW YOU MAY GO.

NO, NOT YOU, CAPTAIN THORPE.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU.

CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD,

YOU WILL ACCOMPANY CAPTAIN
THORPE TO MY PRIVATE CHAMBER

WHERE HE WILL WAIT
MY FURTHER PLEASURE.

DON ÁLVAREZ,

YOU MAY CONVEY
MY REGRETS

TO HIS MAJESTY
KING PHILLIP

AND ASSURE HIM THAT
THIS UNHAPPY INCIDENT

WILL HAVE
NO RECURRENCE.

MY HUMBLE THANKS,
YOUR GRACE,

AND MAY I ALSO
INFORM HIM

THAT THE OFFENDER
IN THIS INSTANCE

WILL BE FORCED TO
MAKE FULL RESTITUTION?

YOU WILL TELL HIM EXACTLY
WHAT I TOLD YOU TO TELL HIM.

NOTHING MORE.

SO THAT'S WHERE
YOU'VE BEEN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
RUNNING AWAY FROM ME

AND KEEPING ME LATE
FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

I'VE GOT A GOOD MIND TO
PULL YOUR TAIL FOR YOU.

IT'S VERY
UNGRATEFUL OF YOU.

DO YOU REALIZE
HOW FEW MONKEYS

HAVE A CHANCE TO
LIVE IN A PALACE?

NO, THAT'S WRONG,
COME TO THINK OF IT.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW
OF YOU HERE ALREADY.

HOWEVER, AFTER THIS
YOU WATCH YOUR MANNERS.

AND IF YOUR MISTRESS HAPPENS
TO TAKE A FANCY TO YOU,

JUST PUT IN A
GOOD WORD FOR ME.

I THINK I'M GOING
TO NEED IT.

WELL, WHAT'S
YOUR EXCUSE THIS TIME?

MY SMALL FRIEND
FROM BRAZIL

WAS SO ANXIOUS TO PAY HIS
RESPECTS TO YOUR GRACE,

THAT HE SELECTED
HIS OWN METHOD.

EVIDENTLY MORE
ANXIOUS THAN YOU

WHAN HE PAID MY COURT
AN EARLIER VISIT.

THAT'S WHERE
HE WAS.

I WAS LOOKING
FOR HIM, YOUR GRACE.

THAT'S
WHY I WAS LATE.

WHY ON EARTH DID YOU
BRING HIM HERE?

I THOUGHT HE MIGHT
AMUSE MILADY,

WHICH IS MORE THAN
I COULD HOPE TO DO.

HE LOOKS LIKE
WOLFINGHAM.

IT IS HIM.

INDEED,
THE SMILE EXACTLY.

HE'S VERY FRIENDLY, MADAM.
HE WON'T HARM YOU.

YOU'RE A RASCAL,
LIKE YOUR FORMER MASTER,

BUT I'M FOND OF RASCALS.

SOME OF THEM.

THIS IS THE NEAREST
WE HAVE TO A TREE.

BEHAVE YOURSELF.

AND NOW TO--

CAPTAIN THORPE?

FOR YOU, MADAM.

AS SOON
AS I SAW IT,

I THOUGHT
IMMEDIATELY OF YOU.

I SEE THE LIGHT
IN IT,

LIKE A CANDLE
IN A FROSTED WINDOW.

A WEST INDIAN PEARL,
IS IT NOT?

YES, MADAM.
BY SOME MISCHANCE

IT WAS ON ITS WAY
TO SPAIN

WHEN I,
DIVERTED IT.

YOU MIGHT SAY
I CAME BETWEEN

PHILLIP
AND THE OYSTER.

I FEAR WOLFINGHAM
IS RIGHT.

YOU ARE
AN INCORRIGIBLE PIRATE.

NO, MADAM.

BUT I DO HAVE A
CONSCIENCE ABOUT PEARLS.

THEY SHOULD
ONLY BE WORN

BY ONE WHOSE THROAT
MATCHES THEIR OWN LUSTER.

AND HAVE YOU
ANY OTHER SCRUPLES?

ONE ONLY, MADAM--

THAT IS NEVER WILLFULLY
TO DISPLEASE YOU.

BUT HAVE YOU?

I TRUST NOT,

BUT ONE CAN BE
MISTAKEN.

WELL, I SHOULD NOT
ADVISE YOU

TO MAKE A PRACTICE
OF...

DIVERTING SPANISH
AMBASSADORS.

THE AMBASSADOR'S GALLEASS
WAS ALREADY PROPELLED

BY ENGLISH OARS, MADAM.

I MERELY SUBSTITUTED
WITH ENGLISH SAILS.

CAPTAIN THORPE, WE HAVE
MORAL RIGHTS ON OUR SIDE.

SPAIN HAS THE LAW ON HERS.

BEAR THAT IN MIND
IN YOUR FUTURE VENTURES.

YES, MADAM.

NOW TO BUSINESS.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR VOYAGE
WAS VERY PROFITABLE.

UNUSUALLY SO, MADAM.

AN INVENTORY
OF THE TREASURE,

WITH THE CROWN'S SHARE
AT YOUR DISPOSAL.

EXCELLENT. I SHALL PUT IT
TO GOOD USE.

IF WHAT I'VE DONE
HAS PLEASED YOUR GRACE,

I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK.

WELL?

THAT OUR CONTRIBUTIONS
INDUCE YOU

TO BEGIN WORK
ON THE FLEET.

FLEET! FLEET! MUST I LISTEN
TO THAT FROM YOU, TOO?

THE ARMADA, YOUR GRACE.

ARE YOU SO SURE THAT
PHILLIP WILL ATTACK?

HAVE YOU ANY ASSURANCE
THAT HE WON'T?

CAPTAIN THORPE,

WITH ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS
OF THE SEA HAWKS,

WE CANNOT POSSIBLY MATCH
PHILLIP'S VAST RESOURCES.

OUR SAFETY LIES
IN DIPLOMACY, NOT FORCE.

MADAM, SUPPOSE PHILLIP'S
VAST RESOURCES,

OR AT LEAST A LARGE
PORTION OF THEM,

WERE NOT TO REACH HIM,

WERE TO BE, SHALL I SAY,
DIVERTED?

WHAT THEN?

JUST WHAT IS GOING ON

IN THAT PIRATICAL MIND
OF YOURS?

YOUR GRACE,
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SPAIN

LIES IN HER NEW WORLD
TREASURE.

WITHIN 3 MONTHS,

A YEAR'S PLUNDER
IN GOLD

LEAVES PANAMA
BOUND FOR SPAIN.

WITH 10 GOOD
PRIVATEERING SHIPS--

NO! I FORBID IT.

A CONCERTED ATTACK
ON THE GOLD FLEET

WOULD BE REGARDED BY PHILLIP
AS AN OVERT ACT OF WAR,

WHICH EVEN I COULD NOT
EXPLAIN AWAY.

VERY WELL, MADAM.

LET IT BE A SINGLE
ENTERPRISE. ONE SHIP.

THE ALBATROSS
WITH A PICKED CREW.

IMPOSSIBLE. A SPANISH CONVOY
WOULD OVERWHELM YOU.

ON THE SEA, YES,

BUT I HAVE A DIFFERENT
PLAN, YOUR MAJESTY--

ATTACK THEM ON LAND,

AS THEY ROBBED THE
AZTECS AND THE INCAS.

THE TREASURE'S
STORED IN PANAMA

NEAR THE INLAND CITY
OF VENTACRUZ.

FROM THERE IT'S TAKEN
BY MULE CARAVAN

TO THE COASTAL TOWN
OF NOMBRE DE DIOS,

A DISTANCE
OF 60 LEAGUES.

LOOK YOU, MADAM,
WITH YOUR PERMISSION.

MY PLAN IS TO SAIL DOWN
INTO THE CARIBBEAN

FROM THE NORTH--

I'LL MEET FEWER
SPANISH SHIPS THAT WAY.

ANCHOR THE ALBATROSS IN
SOME SECLUDED INLET HERE,

LAND MY MEN
AND SUPPLIES.

WE CAN CAMP
IN THE HILLS

UNTIL I FIND OUT
FROM THE NATIVES

WHEN THE CARAVAN
BEGINS MOVING.

NOW, FROM NOMBRE DE
DIOS TO VENTACRUZ,

THIS STRIP HERE...

IS JUNGLE
SO THICK AND DENSE

THAT A SMALL FORCE
COULD ATTACK FROM AMBUSH.

MADAM,

OUR PLUNDER WOULD BE
THE RICHEST PRIZE

EVER BROUGHT BACK
TO ENGLAND.

COULD SUCH A PLAN
POSSIBLY SUCCEED?

IT WOULD HAVE ONE
CHANCE OF SUCCESS

IF THE SPANISH WERE
TAKEN BY COMPLETE SURPRISE.

HAVE I YOUR PERMISSION
TO TRY, MADAM?

CAPTAIN THORPE, IF YOU
UNDERTOOK SUCH A VENTURE,

YOU WOULD DO SO WITHOUT
THE APPROVAL

OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND,

BUT YOU WOULD TAKE
WITH YOU

THE GRATEFUL AFFECTION
OF ELIZABETH.

THEN, MADAM, I SHALL
TAKE WITH ME

THAT WHICH I PRIZE
ABOVE ALL THINGS.

DON'T YOU THINK,
MY DEAR,

WE COULD MANAGE
WITH WHAT WE HAVE?

UM, I'D LIKE
A FEW MORE.

LOOK, MARTHA.

DON'T YOU THINK
THIS ONE IS PRETTY?

VERY PRETTY,

BUT YOU'VE QUITE
A LOT JUST LIKE IT.

THERE'S A DIFFERENT
SPECIES OVER HERE.

IT'S A LITTLE DARKER,
YOU SEE?

I SEE.

WHAT IS IT?

NOTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?

I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT OUR VOYAGE.

I MUST SAY PREFER ENGLISH
BOATS TO SPANISH BOATS.

THERE'S MORE
AIR ON THEM.

OOH! YOU MUST
EXCUSE ME, MY DEAR.

IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO GO.

YOU BETTER
TAKE THESE.

MAR--

MARTHA!

DON'T GO, MARTHA!

NO, NO, NO, NO!

MARTHA, WAIT FOR ME.

DON'T LEAVE ME!
MARTHA!

MAY I HELP YOU?

THANK YOU.

YOU...YOU SEEM TO
BE VERY FOND

OF ENGLISH ROSES.

MY MOTHER TOLD ME
ABOUT YOUR ROSE GARDENS.

SHE WAS ENGLISH.

THAT EXPLAINS
A GREAT DEAL.

BUT I PREFER
THE SPANISH IRIS.

NATURALLY.
IT HAS NO THORNS.

CAPTAIN THORPE,

I DIDN'T GET
A CHANCE ON THE BOAT,

BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR RETURNING MY JEWELS.

I'M SO SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID
ABOUT YOUR ROBBING WOMEN.

AND, WELL, IF YOU THINK
IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD,

I'D BE GLAD TO
SPEAK TO THE QUEEN,

TO TELL HER HOW KINDLY
YOU TREATED US

AND THAT WE DON'T WANT
TO HAVE YOU PUNISHED.

THAT'S VERY KIND
OF YOU, INDEED.

I THINK I CAN STAND
THE PUNISHMENT,

BUT I'M VERY GRATEFUL
FOR YOUR CONCERN.

I WONDER IF YOU
CAN IMAGINE

HOW MUCH IT MEANS
TO ME.

NO. I HAVEN'T
ANY NOTION.

WHEN I
SAW YOU FIRST,

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LIKE A STATUE,

BEAUTIFUL BUT COLD.

THEN I WATCHED YOU
WHEN YOU SAW THE SLAVES,

AND THE STATUE SEEMED
TO COME TO LIFE.

I THOUGHT PERHAPS YOU'D
FORGIVE ME ONE DAY.

CAPTAIN THORPE,
I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU.

IS...IS FORGIVENESS
ALL YOU FEEL?

WELL, HAVE I LED YOU
TO BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE?

NOT BY ANYTHING
YOU'VE SAID,

BUT I THOUGHT I SAW
SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES.

NO. YOU'RE...
YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE...
YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

WELL, PERHAPS
THAT'S AS WELL

SINCE I'M GOING
BACK TO SEA.

WHAT?

WE'LL BE GONE
QUITE SOME TIME.

ARE YOU LEAVING SOON?

WITHIN A WEEK OR SO,

JUST AS SOON AS
THE ALBATROSS IS READY.

THE ROSES LOOK DIFFERENT
WHEN YOU HOLD THEM.

DOÑA MARÍA, IN THE GARDEN
OF A CONVENT IN PERU,

THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL
STATUE.

THE NUNS CALL IT

NUESTRA SEÑORA
DE LAS FLORES.

THAT'S HOW I'LL
ALWAYS THINK OF YOU,

AS MILADY
OF THE ROSES.

WHERE ARE YOU
BOUND, MATE?

HA HA!
BLESSED IF I KNOW.

PASS IT ALONG HERE.

YOU TAKING ON
ANY SAILORS?

YOU'LL HAVE TO SEE MR. PITT,
TOP OF THE GANGPLANK.

RIGHT.

HEY, LIEUTENANT, HERE'S
ANOTHER ONE COMING UP

TO SIGN ON.

PASS IT ALONG,
HERE, BOYS.

COME ALONG, PLEASE!

MR. PITT WILL ASSIGN YOU
YOUR DUTIES AND QUARTERS.

AYE, AYE.

MICHAEL SWEENEY, AND I'LL
GIVE YOU MY BEST, SIR.

JONES, SIGN HIM.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

WELL, TUTTLE,
I DIDN'T EXPECT

TO SEE YOU BACK
SO SOON.

I'M A SAILOR, CAPTAIN.

AND A RIGHT
GOOD ONE.

JUST THE KIND WE NEED
ON A TRIP LIKE THIS.

REPORT TO MR. PITT
ON THE UPPER DECK.

-AYE, AYE, SIR.
-NEXT.

ELI MATSON.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
ON BOARD HERE?

CAPTAIN, IF YOU
DON'T MIND MY ASKING,

BUT I SUPPOSE
AFTER WHAT I DONE,

THERE AIN'T NO PLACE
FOR ME ON THE ALBATROSS?

I MIGHT FIND A BERTH
FOR YOU AS A CABIN BOY.

THERE'S ALWAYS A BERTH
FOR A GOOD MAN, ELI,

PARTICULARLY ONE WHO'S
LEARNED TO OBEY ORDERS.

CAPTAIN, THERE AIN'T NO MAN
I'D RATHER SERVE UNDER.

I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR.

SEE YOU DO. NAME?

KRONER, CAPTAIN.

SAMUEL KRONER.
TOPMAN, FIRST-CLASS.

-AGE?
-42.

-LAST VESSEL?
-THE DORSEY, SIR.

PAPERS?

I DIDN'T BRING THEM
WITH ME, SIR.

I WASN'T READY TO SIGN

TILL I KNEW WHERE
YOU WERE SHIPPING.

YOU WEREN'T?

DON'T A MAN HAVE
A RIGHT TO KNOW

WHAT HE'S SIGNING
ON FOR, CAPTAIN?

NOT ON BOARD
THIS SHIP HE HASN'T.

MY MEN FOLLOW
WITHOUT QUESTIONS.

GET ASHORE. NEXT.

AYE, SIR.

AND I SAID TO MYSELF,

"THIS ISN'T THE USUAL
PREPARATION.

THIS VOYAGE
IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT."

THAT'S ALL I COULD
FIND OUT, YOUR LORDSHIP.

NOT A MAN IN HIS CREW
KNOWS WHERE HE'S GOING.

KRONER, THORPE'S DESTINATION
IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.

WE'LL HAVE HIM WATCHED

FROM NOW UNTIL
THE DAY HE SAILS.

MONEY WILL BE PLACED
AT YOUR DISPOSAL

BY MY STEWARD.

VERY GOOD,
YOUR LORDSHIP.

THEN THIS PIRATE
IS FREE AGAIN

TO PLUNDER
WHERE HE CHOOSES

IN SPITE OF THE QUEEN.

OR PERHAPS
FOR THE QUEEN.

HEREAFTER,
WE SHALL DO BETTER

TO RELY ON
OUR OWN DEVICES

THAN ON THE ASSURANCES
OF A CLEVER WOMAN.

SURELY SHE
WOULD NOT NEGLECT

TO INFORM
HER LORD CHANCELLOR

OF THE NATURE OF SUCH
AN IMPORTANT VOYAGE.

HER GRACE
DID INFORM ME

THAT CAPTAIN THORPE
IS UNDERTAKING

A TRADING EXPEDITION
UP THE NILE,

AND I PRETENDED
TO BELIEVE HER.

DOES THAT REASSURE
YOUR EXCELLENCY?

FORGIVE ME, MILORD,

IF ANY SUSPICION
CROSSED MY MIND.

HIS MAJESTY,
KING PHILLIP,

HAS IMPLICIT
CONFIDENCE

IN YOUR LOYALTY
TO HIS INTERESTS.

HIS GRACIOUS MAJESTY
AND I

HAVE AN INTEREST
IN COMMON--

A RULER FRIENDLY
TO SPAIN

ON THE THRONE
OF ENGLAND.

LIKE YOU,
LORD WOLFINGHAM?

DON ÁLVAREZ,
WE SERVE OTHERS BEST

WHEN AT THE SAME TIME
WE SERVE OURSELVES.

SURE YOU HAVE
ENOUGH INFORMATION

ON THESE WATERS?

EVERY BAY AND INLET
FOR HARBORING A SHIP, SIR,

WITH SOUNDINGS ACCURATE,
AND NOT A REEF MISSING.

GOOD. THAT'S
WHAT I WANT.

I'LL SEND FOR IT
ON WEDNESDAY.

I'LL HAVE IT READY
FOR YOU, SIR.

YOU CAN RELY ON ME.

BY THE WAY, I DON'T WANT
ANY PRINTING ON THE CHART.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
NO NAMES AT ALL.

NO NAMES.
VERY GOOD, SIR.

GOOD DAY.

GOOD DAY,
CAPTAIN THORPE.

I'LL HAVE IT READY
FOR YOU WEDNESDAY.

HOW DO YOU DO,
GENTLEMEN?

ARE YOU
THE CHARTMAKER?

AT YOUR SERVICE.

I AM LORD WOLFINGHAM.

THIS IS DON ÁLVAREZ
DE CÓRDOBA,

AMBASSADOR FROM
KING PHILLIP OF SPAIN.

I AM HONORED, YOUR
EXCELLENCY AND MILORD.

I'VE BEEN BOASTING
TO HIS EXCELLENCY

ABOUT ENGLISH
CHARTMAKING.

I'M ANXIOUS FOR HIM TO SEE
SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK,

PERHAPS SOME CHARTS YOU ARE
IN PROCESS OF MAKING.

CERTAINLY, SIR.

WOULD HIS EXCELLENCY
PREFER TO SEE

NAVIGATION CHARTS
OR MAPS?

THE CHARTS,
IF YOU PLEASE.

MY GOVERNMENT MAY WISH TO
COMPARE THEM WITH THEIR OWN.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

IF YOU WILL NOTICE, SIR,

ALL MY CHARTS ARE DRAWN
ON THE VERY BEST PARCHMENT

AND MOUNTED
ON THE FINEST LINEN.

THE NUMBERS EVERY 1/2 INCH
ALONG THE COASTLINE

INDICATE THE DEPTH
OF THE OCEAN

IN FATHOMS
AT THAT POINT.

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.

I JUST FINISHED THAT ONE
AS YOU GENTLEMEN CAME IN.

HERE IS A SECTION

OF THE WEST COAST
OF AFRICA.

YOU WILL NOTICE IT IS
WORKED OUT WITH SUCH DETAIL

THAT A NAVIGATOR
CAN SAIL HIS SHIPS

THROUGH WATERS UNKNOWN
WITH PERFECT SAFETY.

YES, INDEED.
EXCELLENT WORK.

HERE ARE SOME STRAITS.

TRICKY TO NAVIGATE,
AND IF I MAY SAY SO,

TRICKY TO CHART.

WHAT DO THE
FIGURES OF THE CONSTELLATIONS

AT THE TOP
OF THE MAP SIGNIFY?

PURELY A DECORATION, MILORD.
I TAKE THE CONSTELLATION

THAT HAS ITS ZENITH OVER
THE CHARTED TERRITORY.

EVERY SEAMAN KNOWS THEM,
JUST LIKE THE SOUTHERN CROSS

OVER THESE STRAITS
OF MAGELLAN.

MERELY A CONCEIT
OF MINE

SO THAT PEOPLE MAY
RECOGNIZE MY WORK.

QUITE
AN ORIGINAL IDEA.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THIS FIGURE WITH THE
DAGGER POINTING DOWN

IS ORION THE HUNTER,
IS IT NOT?

YES, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

THEN YOUR EXCELLENCY HAS SOME
KNOWLEDGE OF ASTRONOMY?

NOT AS MUCH AS I
SHOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

THEY SAY THAT EVEN
OUR FORTUNES

REST WITH THE STARS.

YOU SEE, GENTLEMEN,
THE ORBIT OF ORION

IS APPROXIMATELY
THIS NARROW PATH

BETWEEN THE EQUATOR AND
THE 10-DEGREE PARALLEL.

THE CONSTELLATION
APPEARS TO MOVE OVERHEAD

AS THE EARTH TURNS
ON ITS AXIS.

OBVIOUSLY, THE SECTION
OF LAND YOU ARE SEEKING

MUST BE SOMEWHERE
ON THIS BELT.

AND FROM YOUR MEMORY OF
THE CHART, IT APPEARS,

THIS STRIP IS
TOO LONG TO BE AN ISLAND,

NOT LARGE ENOUGH
TO BE A CONTINENT.

THEREFORE, WE MAY DEDUCE
IT IS AN ISTHMUS.

NOW, THE ONLY ISTHMUS

RUNNING EAST AND WEST
UNDER ORION'S ORBIT

IS THIS CONNECTING LINK

BETWEEN THE TWO CONTINENTS
OF THE NEW WORLD.

GENTLEMEN, HERE IS
YOUR CHARTED STRIP OF LAND--

THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.

50 SACKS OF RICE,
50 POUNDS OF RAISINS,

30 POUNDS OF COCOA,
18 HOGSHEADS--

18 HOGSHEADS OF VINEGAR,
50 JARS OF WINE.

THANK YOU, MR. PITT.

NOW, I HAVE SOME RATHER
URGENT BUSINESS IN LONDON,

SO YOU'LL TAKE CHARGE.

ISN'T THAT RATHER A SUDDEN
DECISION, CAPTAIN THORPE?

NO, NO. IT'S--

JUST WHAT ARE YOU
GRINNING AT, MR. PITT?

WELL, I COULDN'T HELP
THINKING TO MESELF

THAT IF I WERE GOING
TO LONDON,

I'D CERTAINLY MAKE IT
A POINT TO SEE MISS LATHAM.

BLAST IF I WOULDN'T.

I DARESAY
YOU WOULD.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT,

ONLY SHE DOESN'T
KNOW IT YET.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

-AYE, AYE, SIR.
-AYE, CAPTAIN.

HELLO, GENTLEMEN. IS
CAPTAIN THORPE IN HIS CABIN?

THAT HE IS, SIR JOHN, AND HE'LL
BE PLEASED TO SEE YOU, SIR.

-I THANK YOU.
-THANK YOU.

THIS WAY, SIR.

SIR JOHN.

IT SEEMS THAT
I'M JUST IN TIME.

YOU'RE LOOKING
VERY FIT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ARE YOU GOING ASHORE?

YES. I WAS JUST
GOING OFF TO LONDON.

WE DON'T SAIL UNTIL
NEXT WEEK, YOU KNOW.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I CAME TO SEE YOU ABOUT.

YOU COULDN'T SAIL
SOONER, COULD YOU?

WHY, YES...

IF THERE WAS
SOME REASON FOR IT.

THERE IS, CAPTAIN.
A VERY GOOD REASON.

I'VE A MESSAGE FROM
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.

SHE'D LIKE YOU
TO SET SAIL IMMEDIATELY.

THERE ARE CERTAIN MEMBERS
OF HER COURT

THAT ARE ASKING
TOO MANY QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOUR LATEST TRADING
EXPEDITION UP THE NILE.

I SEE.

VERY WELL, SIR JOHN.

I'LL NOT GO TO LONDON.

AND WILL YOU PLEASE
INFORM HER MAJESTY

WE SAIL WITH
TOMORROW'S TIDE?

YOU'RE FEELING
VERY HAPPY, UNCLE.

WHAT?

YES.

YES.

HAVE YOU HAD
GOOD NEWS?

EXCELLENT NEWS.

IS IT A SECRET?

YOU WOULDN'T BE
INTERESTED, MY DEAR.

EXCUSE ME.

MR. KRONER TO SEE YOU,
DON ÁLVAREZ.

HAVE HIM COME IN,
MISS LATHAM.

YOUR EXCELLENCY.
DOÑA MARÍA.

YOU HAVE NEWS
FROM MILORD?

AYE. THE BEST
POSSIBLE NEWS.

CAPTAIN LOPEZ
SAILED THIS MORNING.

HE'LL GET TO PANAMA
BEFORE CAPTAIN THORPE.

PLEASE CONGRATULATE
HIS LORDSHIP

AND CONVEY
MY BEST WISHES.

THANK YOU, SEÑOR.

MARÍA.

WELL...

THE ENGLISH PIRATE HAS
PLUNDERED HIS LAST SHIP.

UNCLE, WHAT WILL
THEY DO TO HIM?

PIRACY IS PUNISHABLE
WITH DEATH.

OR IF SPAIN IS DISPOSED
TO BE LENIENT,

THERE'S THE GALLEY.

MARTHA!

WHAT'S WRONG,
MY DEAR?

ORDER ME A CARRIAGE
AND FAST HORSES.

MY CHILD!

I'M GOING TO DOVER.

YES, YES. I'LL ORDER IT
AT ONCE, DEAR.

CAN YOU REACH DOVER
TONIGHT?

WITH A CHANGE OF
HORSES, YES, MILADY.

AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE!

YES, MILADY.

NOT A WORD
TO MY UNCLE.

DO NOT WORRY
ABOUT THAT, MY DEAR.

AND IF YOU SEE
THAT BIG RUFFIAN CARL,

GIVE HIM
MY FELICITATIONS,

NOT THAT HE WILL KNOW
WHAT IT MEANS.

DRIVE ON.

3:00 AND ALL'S WELL!

3:00 AND ALL'S WE--

CAN I HELP YOU,
MILADY?

IS THAT
THE ALBATROSS?

YES, MILADY.

SAILED THIS EVENING
ON THE EBB TIDE.

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO?

NO, THANK YOU.

3:00 AND ALL'S WELL!

SET YOUR COURSE
WEST-SOUTHWEST.

CAPTAIN THORPE
HAS ARRIVED, SEÑOR.

AN INLET 10 MILES WEST
OF NOMBRE DE DIOS.

SO, FOR ONCE, THEY SEND ME
AN ACCURATE REPORT

AND ON TIME.

YOUR ORDERS,
GENERAL.

YOU WILL LEAVE
WITH A SMALL ESCORT

FOR NOMBRE DE DIOS
AT SUNDOWN AS SCHEDULED.

BUT THE ENGLISH
WILL ATTACK.

AND YOU WILL OFFER
NO RESISTANCE.

CAPTAIN THORPE CAME
A LONG WAY FOR THIS GOLD.

WE MUST NOT
DISAPPOINT HIM.

LIEUTENANT...

YOU HAVE SEEN
THE JUNGLE ORCHID.

IT IS A VERY
ATTRACTIVE FLOWER

THAT HOLDS OUT
ITS YELLOW POLLEN,

BUT ONCE AN INSECT IS
LURED WITHIN ITS PETALS,

THEY CLOSE LIKE THIS.

WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK,
CAPTAIN.

I GOT IT FROM A NATIVE.

THEY HATE THE SPANISH
WORSE THAN WE DO.

NEAR AS I COULD
FIGURE HIS LINGO,

THE GOLD TRAIN LEAVES
VENTACRUZ AT SUNDOWN--

ABOUT 20 MULES IN ALL.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU SAY
VENTACRUZ WAS FROM HERE?

ABOUT 20 MILES,
CAPTAIN.

IT'LL TAKE A MULE TRAIN
MOST OF THE NIGHT.

GOOD. THEN WE'LL ALL
HAVE TIME FOR SOME SLEEP

AFTER WE SET OUT
THE AMBUSH.

NOW, MEN, YOU'LL SPREAD
OUT ALONG THIS TRAIL

AT INTERVALS
OF ABOUT 10 YARDS.

BURKE, I'M GOING TO
STATION YOU AT THE REAR.

THAT'S A VERY
RESPONSIBLE POSITION.

YOU'LL GIVE A SIGNAL
ON YOUR WHISTLE

WHEN YOU SEE THE LAST
MAN AND MULE PASS,

-DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
-AYE, SIR.

AND YOU ALL KNOW
WHAT TO DO, MEN.

AYE, SIR.

NOW, I'LL STAY
AT THIS POINT.

MR. PITT, YOU'RE
ACROSS FROM ME.

MR. SCOTT, NEXT PLACE
DOWN THE LINE AND SO ON.

MEN, YOU BETTER ALL PICK
OUT YOUR NESTS BEFORE DARK.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

IT'S TOO THICK
IN THERE.

YOU CAN'T SEE
WHAT'S IN IT.

FULL OF SNAKES AND
CROCODILES, I'LL WAGER.

THEY SAY THERE'S PLANTS
WITH ARM'S LENGTH

THAT'LL STRANGLE A MAN
IF HE AIN'T CAREFUL.

STOP THAT TALK, BEN,

OR YOU'LL BE
SEEING GHOSTS

BEFORE YOU SEE
SPANIARDS.

IT'S A FUNNY THING
ABOUT SAILORS, YOU KNOW.

THEY DON'T MIND
THE FIGHT

IF THEY CAN SEE
WHAT THEY'RE FIGHTING.

BUT YOU TAKE
A MOSQUITO, NOW--

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING
ABOUT MOSQUITOES?

THERE'S
A WHOLE NEST OF THEM HERE.

THE BEASTS HAVE EARS.

TRY HOLDING YOUR
BREATH, MR. PITT,

AND THEN THEY
WON'T TROUBLE YOU.

BETTER?

NO. I'D RATHER
HAVE THE SPANIARDS.

HOLD IT LONGER.

DISMOUNT, PLEASE.

DISARM HIM,
MR. PITT.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

DOWN THE LINE,
SCOTT.

SEE IF EVERYTHING'S
IN OUR HANDS.

AYE, AYE,
CAPTAIN.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

IT SHALL BE REPORTED
TO HIS MAJESTY KING PHILLIP.

THE NEWS MAY BE
A LITTLE DELAYED

IN REACHING
HIS MAJESTY, SIR,

SINCE I MUST ASK YOU
TO REMAIN MY PRISONER.

UNDER PROTEST,
CAPTAIN THORPE!

SO YOU KNOW MY NAME.

WHY, YES, SEÑOR.

EVERYONE IN SPAIN
KNOWS YOUR NAME

AND RESPECTS IT.

I'M FLATTERED,
BUT I MUST WARN YOU

AGAINST MAKING
ANY FALSE MOVES, SIR,

OR MY MEN WILL BE
FORCED TO SHOOT YOU.

MOUNT,
IF YOU PLEASE.

UP.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S COME
PRETTY EASY, CAPTAIN.

YES. A LITTLE
TOO EASY.

THEY ALL
DISARMED, SCOTT?

AYE, CAPTAIN.

ONE THING MORE, SIR--

IF WE SHOULD HAPPEN TO MEET
ANYONE ALONG THIS TRAIL,

THIS IS YOUR CARAVAN,

AND WE'RE PART
OF YOUR ESCORT.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

PASS THE WORD,
CROSS.

EVERYTHING READY
TO MOVE.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
READY TO MOVE!

MOVE UP, MEN.
QUIETLY NOW.

MOVE ON, MEN.
FORWARD, MEN.

FIRE.

GET BACK! BACK!

TAKE COVER!
QUICK!

IT'S A TRAP,
AND NO MISTAKE, SIR.

INTO THE SWAMP! QUICK!

OUT OF THE SWAMPS!

NO ONE CAN LIVE
IN THERE.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

IT'S TOO HOT.

IT'S TOO BLOOMIN' HOT!

IT'S TOO HOT.

IT'S TOO BLOOMIN' HOT.

THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING.

WE CAN REST HERE.

LET ME SEE
THAT ARM, TUTTLE.

IT'S IN ME CHEST,
CAPTAIN.

A BIT
OF MUSKET LEAD.

WELL,
WE'LL GET THAT OUT

WHEN WE GET BACK
TO THE SHIP.

YES, SIR.

HOW DID THE SPANISH
KNOW WE WERE HERE?

THAT'S WHAT
I CAN'T FATHOM.

WE'LL FIND OUT
SOMEDAY.

WONDER IF THE OTHERS
GOT THROUGH, CAPTAIN.

WELL, IF THEY DID,
THEY'LL HEAD FOR THE SHIP.

WELL, LADS,
WE'D BEST BE MOVING.

YOU'LL NEVER GET THERE
WITH ME, CAPTAIN.

WHY, OF COURSE
WE WILL, WILLIAM.

FEEL THAT BREEZE?
THAT'S FROM THE SEA.

WE'RE ON THE SHORE.

THE SEA!

STAND BACK.

IT'S HARD NEWS
TO CARRY BACK.

THEY'LL BE WONDERING TO SEE
ONLY THE ONE BOAT COMING.

SOME OF THEM MIGHT
GET THROUGH YET.

MIGHTN'T THEY,
CAPTAIN?

IT'S A MIRACLE
ANY OF US ARE HERE, BURKE.

I CAN'T SEE
THE LOOKOUT.

THEY DIDN'T
EXPECT US SO SOON.

IT'S FUNNY THEY HAVEN'T
POSTED A LOOKOUT.

MAYBE THERE'S ONE BEHIND
THE CHART HOUSE.

WE COULDN'T SEE HIM
FROM HERE.

I HOPE THEY HAVEN'T
BROKEN INTO THE ALE CLOSET.

I COULD DO
WITH A MUG.

IF THE CHAPS
AIN'T DRUNK IT ALL UP.

ALL I'D LIKE TO DO
IS SLEEP FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

HERE'S ONE GOT
AHEAD OF YOU.

CAPTAIN...

HE AIN'T NEVER
GOING TO WAKE UP.

HE WANTED TO GO BACK
TO THE SEA.

HAVE YOU SIGHTED ANYONE
ON THE BOAT YET, CAPTAIN?

NOT A BLOOMIN' SOUL.

YOU MIGHT GIVE THEM
A HAIL, MR. SCOTT.

WE'LL NEED THEIR HELP
WHEN WE GET THERE.

AHOY THERE!

AHOY, MATES!

GIVE US A HAND.

YOU LUBBERS,
SHOW YOUR FACES!

IT'S THE CAPTAIN.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

IT'S THE CAPTAIN!

WHAT ARE THE FOOLS
HIDING FOR?

I DON'T LIKE IT.
SOMETHING'S WRONG.

NO MORE OF THAT,
OR I'LL HAVE TO--

STEADY, MR. PITT.

NOW SHIP YOUR OARS.

MAKE FAST.

YOU STAY
IN THE BOAT, BURKE.

AYE, SIR.

WELCOME,
CAPTAIN THORPE.

I ADVISE YOU
NOT TO RESIST.

THOSE MUSKETS ARE IN THE HANDS
OF EXCELLENT MARKSMEN,

I ASSURE YOU.

BESIDES, CAPTAIN...

IT'S MY TURN
TO ENTERTAIN YOU.

I REGRET IT HAS
TO BE ON YOUR SHIP,

BUT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
THE NECESSITY.

IF YOU DRAW
THAT SWORD, CAPTAIN,

WE SHALL NOT
HAVE THE PLEASURE

OF TAKING YOU AND YOUR MEN
BACK TO SPAIN...ALIVE.

YOUR PRISONERS, CAPTAIN.

ITEM 37--

LOOTED BY SORCERY
AND OTHER HERETICAL PRACTICES,

THEN TRIED TO ENTER
SECRETLY BY NIGHT

THE SPANISH CITY
OF CARTAGENA

AND DID CAPTURE THE GARRISON
AND FORCE THE GOVERNOR THEREOF

TO PAY A RANSOM
IN THE AMOUNT OF 30,000 DUCATS.

ITEM 38--

YOU DID ALSO ATTACK
HIS MAJESTY'S GALLEASS

MADRE DELORES
AT VALPARAISO

AND DID SEIZE GOLD
IN THE AMOUNT OF 8,000 POUNDS,

13 CHESTS
OF COIN SILVER,

AND 1,770 JARS OF WINE.

ITEM 39--

YOU DID ALSO LOOT

AND SINK THE GALLEASS
SANTA DE OLALIA DEL MONTE

IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL,

PROFANING HIS MAJESTY
IN THE PERSON OF HIS AMBASSADOR.

IN SUMMARY
OF THESE OFFENSES,

OUR RECORDS SHOW
YOU DID PLUNDER 7 CITIES

IN THE EMPIRE OF SPAIN

AND DID DESTROY
47 OF HIS MAJESTY'S VESSELS.

CAPTAIN THORPE...

DO YOU CONFESS
TO THE TRUTH OF THESE CHARGES?

YOUR RECORDS
DO US AN INJUSTICE.

THEY SHOULD READ
9 CITIES AND 54 VESSELS.

YOU WILL AMEND THE CHARGES

IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE DEFENDANT'S STATEMENT

AND PLACE HIS CONFESSION
ON RECORD.

CAPTAIN THORPE,

AS JUDGED,

YOU WILL BE HANDED OVER
TO THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES

UNDER WHOSE DIRECTION

YOU WILL BE CHAINED
TO THE OARS OF A GALLEY

IN SERVITUDE FOR THE REST
OF YOUR NATURAL LIVES.

CAPTAIN THORPE...

BUT PERHAPS WE'D BETTER
DISPENSE WITH THE "CAPTAIN"

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT ISN'T OFTEN THAT
WE HAVE THE PLEASURE

OF ENTERTAINING SO FAMOUS
A PIRATE IN OUR GALLEY.

I HOPE THAT YOU FIND
OUR HOSPITALITY

ALL THAT
YOU ANTICIPATED.

NO DOUBT WE SHALL.

YOU SPANISH HAVE
A GIFT FOR HOSPITALITY

WHEN YOUR GUESTS
ARE IN CHAINS.

WE'RE
GETTING UNDERWAY.

YOU'LL START
THE OARS AT 10 BEAT.

AYE, AYE,
CAPTAIN.

DROP YOUR OARS
IN THE WATER!

NOW PULL, YOU
ENGLISH MONGRELS!

BEAUTIFUL...

BUT ARE ALL SPANISH SONGS
SO SAD, MY CHILD?

ONLY THOSE THAT SPEAK
OF LOVE, YOUR GRACE.

YOU SPEAK OF IT
ELOQUENTLY, MY DEAR.

I DARESAY
EACH OF US MUST CHOOSE

BETWEEN LOVING A MAN
OR RULING HIM.

I PREFER TO RULE.

I DON'T QUARREL
WITH YOUR CHOICE, MARÍA.

YOU HAVE YOUR SONG,

AND I HAVE MY SCEPTER.

BUT NOW SING US
ONE THAT IS GAY.

WELL, DON ÁLVAREZ, IS
YOUR BUSINESS SO URGENT

THAT IT MUST INTRUDE

UPON MY FEW MOMENTS
OF DIVERSION?

YOUR GRACE...

I HAVE JUST HAD
A COMMUNICATION FROM SPAIN

THAT I FEEL SURE
WILL COMMAND YOUR INTEREST.

IT CONCERNS THE PRIVATEER
OF GEOFFREY THORPE.

WELL,
WHAT ABOUT HIM?

WHILE ATTEMPTING A RAID

ON THE PANAMA
TREASURE CARAVAN,

HE WAS CAPTURED
BY SPANISH TROOPS

AND IS NOW
A CONDEMNED PRISONER

ON ONE OF HIS MAJESTY'S
GALLEYS.

WHY, CHILD...

I'M ALL RIGHT,
UNCLE.

YOUR PARDON,
MAJESTY.

SAY NO MORE, MY DEAR.

I QUITE UNDERSTAND.

YOU MAY TAKE MARÍA
TO HER ROOMS

AND STAY WITH HER
AS LONG AS SHE NEEDS YOU.

MY THANKS, YOUR GRACE.

YOU MAY GO,
ALL OF YOU.

DON ÁLVAREZ,
IT APPEARS YOUR NEWS

CONCERNS YOUR NIECE
MORE THAN IT DOES ME.

YOUR GRACE, I WOULD HAVE
SPARED HER HAD I KNOWN.

YOUR ARROW
HIT THE WRONG MARK.

AS FOR MYSELF,

I REGRET
CAPTAIN THORPE'S FATE,

BECAUSE HE IS
A BRAVE MAN.

BUT HE IS
A PRIVATEER, AND...

PRIVATEERS MUST TAKE
THEIR OWN RISKS.

THEN, YOUR GRACE,
I MUST SPEAK BLUNTLY.

MY SOVEREIGN
IS NOT CONVINCED

THAT CAPTAIN THORPE
RISKED SO MUCH

MERELY FOR
HIS OWN GAIN.

NO? THEN PERHAPS YOU CAN
SUGGEST A MORE LIKELY MOTIVE.

YOUR GRACE WILL RECALL
THAT SHE RELEASED THORPE

AFTER HIS ATTACK
UPON MY SHIP

AND THAT ON THE HEELS
OF THIS OFFENSE,

SHE ALLOWED
THE ALBATROSS TO SAIL,

PRESUMABLY
TO TRADE IN EGYPT.

WELL, AM I TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE

FOR CAPTAIN THORPE'S
CHANGE OF MIND?

YOUR GRACE, THORPE NEVER
INTENDED ANY PROJECT

BUT THE ONE
HE UNDERTOOK,

ALTHOUGH BY NOW,
HE MIGHT WISH HE HAD.

YOU WEARY ME
WITH YOUR IMPLICATIONS.

COME TO THE POINT.

I REGRET
THAT THE POINT

IS NOT
AN AGREEABLE ONE.

FROM THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
I MENTIONED,

MY SOVEREIGN
IS FORCED TO INFER

THAT CAPTAIN THORPE

HAD THE APPROVAL
OF YOUR MAJESTY

IN AN OVERT ACT OF WAR
UPON THE EMPIRE OF SPAIN.

DON ÁLVAREZ!

DO YOU QUESTION
MY WORD?

UNFORTUNATELY,
YOUR GRACE,

MY GOVERNMENT CANNOT
RECONCILE YOUR WORDS

WITH THE ACTS
OF YOUR SUBJECTS.

THEN LET PHILLIP INFER
WHAT HE PLEASES.

I WILL NOT BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE TO PHILLIP

FOR MY ACTIONS
OR FOR THOSE OF MY PEOPLE!

IN THAT CASE,
I'M INSTRUCTED TO SERVE

OFFICIAL NOTICE
UPON YOUR MAJESTY

THAT THE HONOR
OF SPAIN REQUIRES

THAT YOU WILL
IMMEDIATELY DISBAND

AND IMPRISON
THE SEA HAWKS OR...

FACE THE CONSEQUENCES
OF AN OPEN CONFLICT

BETWEEN
OUR TWO NATIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

DO YOU DARE COME TO ME
WITH THREATS?

OUT OF MY COURT BEFORE
I ORDER YOUR ARREST!

REMOVE THAT MAN'S
PORTRAIT FROM MY SIGHT!

HURRY! DO AS I SAY!

GO TO LORD WOLFINGHAM.

TELL HIM TO SUMMON
MY COUNCIL AT ONCE.

IT'S ENOUGH THAT
I'VE HAD TO LISTEN

TO HIS TIRESOME COMPLAINTS

WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK
AT HIS ARROGANT FACE!

"THE HONOR OF SPAIN REQUIRES--"
REQUIRES, INDEED!

PRESUMPTUOUS FOOL!

TELLING ME WHAT I CAN DO
AND WHAT I CAN'T DO,

AS IF THE WORLD WERE A JEWEL
THAT HUNG AROUND HIS NECK.

HAS PHILLIP
GONE COMPLETELY MAD?

DOES HE THINK HE CAN DICTATE
TO THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND?

WHO'S TO DEFEND US
BUT THE SEA HAWKS?

YOUR MAJESTY, WE CANNOT
AFFORD AN OPEN BREAK WITH SPAIN.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE WILL BE ATTACKED?

WHAT OTHER REASON HAS PHILLIP
FOR BUILDING AN ARMADA?

BUT, YOUR GRACE, THESE
DEMANDS ARE PREPOSTEROUS.

THESE MEN ARE LOYAL
AND DEVOTED.

IN WHAT WAY HAVE
THEY OFFENDED

BUT IN SERVING
THEIR COUNTRY?

SPAIN SEEKS
TO STRIP YOU

OF YOUR ONE DEFENSE
UPON THE SEAS.

SIR JOHN, WE NEED DEFENSE
ONLY IF WE ARE ATTACKED.

TO DISREGARD
PHILLIP'S WARNING

IS TO INVITE
AN IMMEDIATE WAR.

WHILE TO HEED IT

IS TO THROW OURSELVES
AT HIS MERCY.

AND WHAT OF THAT?

HE HAS TOO MANY CONCERNS
ELSEWHERE TO BOTHER ABOUT US.

MILORD, I BELIEVE THAT
PHILLIP'S THIRST FOR POWER

CAN ONLY BE QUENCHED
IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

EVEN IF THAT
WERE TRUE,

ARE MY LORD ADMIRAL
AND HIS PRIVATEERS

PREPARED TO STOP HIM?

WE ARE READY TO TRY,
MY LORD,

TO THE LAST SHIP
AND TO THE LAST MAN.

IF PHILLIP IS BOLD ENOUGH
TO MAKE DEMANDS NOW,

WHAT WILL HE DO
WHEN THE ARMADA IS BUILT?

MY LORDS, I HAVE CONSIDERED
YOUR OPINIONS EARNESTLY.

MY OWN IMPULSE, LIKE SIR JOHN'S,
IS TO DEFY PHILLIP.

BUT THE SAFETY OF MY SUBJECTS
CONSTRAINS ME TO CAUTION.

LORD WOLFINGHAM,

YOU WILL PREPARE AN ORDER
AUTHORIZING THE ARRESTS

OF ALL ENGLISH
PRIVATEERS...

AND THE CONFISCATION
OF THEIR SHIPS

AS THEY PUT INTO PORT.

THAT WILL BE ALL, MY LORDS.

MY FRIEND, THERE ARE TIMES
WHEN A QUEEN MUST THINK

NOT OF RIGHT OR WRONG,

BUT ONLY OF THE GOOD
OF THOSE SHE RULES.

MY CHILD.
YOU MUSTN'T WEEP SO.

THERE MAY YET
BE SOME HOPE.

WHAT CHANCE IS THERE
FOR A GALLEY SLAVE?

BUT AT LEAST HE IS
STILL ALIVE, MARÍA.

ALIVE?

LIKE ANIMALS
IN A DARK CAGE.

NO AIR, NO SUN,
NO KINDNESS,

NO MERCY.

ONLY TIME
AND TORTURE.

THE HOURS AS HEAVY
AS THEIR CHAINS.

MARTHA,
BETTER HE WERE DEAD

THAN DOWN THERE
WAITING ONLY TO DIE.

MARÍA.

I'M SORRY.

AND WHAT GOOD WILL
THAT DO NOW?

I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.

MY CHILD, I ONLY DID
WHAT I HAD TO DO.

WHAT I FEEL TOWARDS YOU

I'LL HAVE TO FEEL
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

MARÍA,
YOU'RE VERY YOUNG.

TIME WILL MAKE YOU
FEEL DIFFERENTLY.

ONLY ONE THING WILL
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

UNCLE,
IF WE COULD GO TO SPAIN

AND PLEAD WITH THE KING.

THERE'S NO CHANCE?

FOR ANY OTHER MAN,
PERHAPS.

NOT CAPTAIN THORPE.

CAPTAIN MENDOZA,
IMPORTANT DISPATCH.

VERY WELL. I'LL SEE
THAT THEY REACH

THE MADRE DE DIOS
BEFORE SHE SAILS FROM CADIZ.

ON DECK!

4 PRISONERS ASSIGNED
TO YOUR GALLEY, SIR.

WE'LL PUT THEM TO GOOD USE.
KEEP THEM IN IRONS.

BACK TO YOUR OARS!
WE'RE GETTING UNDERWAY!

DROP YOUR OARS
IN THE WATER!

CROSS IS DEAD, MR. PITT.

WAKE UP, YOU!

PULL ON THAT OAR!
DO YOU HEAR ME?

I'M TIRED
OF YOUR TRICKS!

HE'S DEAD.

HELLO, GUARD!

CAPTAIN THORPE?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
AT FIRST. I'M ABBOTT.

-ABBOTT.
-YES.

MARK YOUR BEAT!

SIR JOHN SENT ME
TO SPAIN.

I WAS TAKEN
IN MADRID.

THE ARMADA--MOVING
AGAINST ENGLAND SOON.

SIR JOHN WANTED PROOF
TO CONVINCE THE QUEEN.

BUT HAWKINS, FROBISHER,
THE REST OF THE SEA HAWKS--

DO THEY KNOW?

THEY'RE ALL IN PRISON
OR HIDING

BY ORDERS FROM SPAIN.

THE QUEEN DID IT
TO AVERT WAR.

THE ARMADA. DID YOU
FIND THE PROOF?

THE PAPERS ARE
ABOARD THIS SHIP

BEING TAKEN TO
THE MADRE DE DIOS IN CADIZ.

THEY HAD ME BEFORE
I COULD GET THEM.

THEY WERE INFORMED.

THE SAME THING
IN PANAMA.

PITT...

PASS THE WORD.

EVERYONE STOP
WHEN I STOP.

REFUSE TO START.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

STOP WHEN
THE CAPTAIN STOPS.

STOP WHEN YOU GET
THE WORD.

STOP WHEN YOU GET
THE WORD.

AYE, SIR.

THE WIND HAS SLACKENED,
AND WE MUST REACH CADIZ

BEFORE THE MADRE
DE DIOS SAILS.

CAN'T YOU RAISE
THE BEAT?

THEY CAN'T ROW ABOVE
18 FOR LONG, SIR.

WHAT TIME DOES THE
MADRE DE DIOS LEAVE CADIZ?

BEFORE MORNING,
THAT'S ALL I KNOW,

AND WE CAN'T RISK
MISSING HER.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WE'RE SLOWING DOWN.

THE TIMEKEEPER'S
ASLEEP!

FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG!

AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN!

PICK UP THE BEAT!
PICK UP THE BEAT!

WHAT ARE YOU SITTING
THERE FOR? BEND OVER!

BEND OVER!

TURN AROUND AND ROW!

PICK UP THE BEAT!

PICK UP THOSE OARS!

PICK UP THOSE OARS!

REBEL, WILL YOU?

PICK UP YOUR BEAT!

THORPE, THIS IS
YOUR WORK.

WHEN WE MAKE CADIZ,
I'LL HAVE YOU HUNG!

NOW PICK UP YOUR OARS
AND PUT YOUR BACKS TO IT!

TIMEKEEPER,
RAISE THE BEAT TO 18!

AYE, AYE, SIR.

CAPTAIN ORTIZ HAS
BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

THANK YOU.

NOW, MEN, YOU ALL
KNOW WHAT TO DO.

-AYE!
-AYE!

YOU MEN FOLLOW ME.
THE REST OF YOU STAND GUARD.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

IT APPEARS,
CAPTAIN CORTIZ,

THAT YOU AND THE MADRE DE DIOS
WILL BE PAYING

THE LAST OFFICIAL
VISIT TO ENGLAND.

THE LAST FRIENDLY VISIT,
SHALL WE SAY?

EXACTLY. I CAN'T SAY
THAT I ENVY YOUR COMMISSION,

TO SAIL ALONE INTO
THE PORT OF THE ENEMY.

IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO
FETCH HOME THE AMBASSADOR

BEFORE WE STRIKE.

BESIDES, ENGLAND
ISN'T AN ENEMY

UNTIL SHE KNOWS SHE IS.

TRUE.

LUCKILY FOR US,
SHE'LL ONLY KNOW THAT

WHEN THE ARMADA APPEARS
IN THE CHANNEL.

AND WHEN WILL THAT BE,
CAPTAIN?

ACCORDING
TO THE INFORMATION

WHICH I AM CARRYING
TO LORD WOLFINGHAM,

THE ARMADA IS ALMOST READY
TO SAIL AGAINST ENGLAND.

ODD.

WHAT IS IT?

THE BREEZE MUST HAVE
FRESHENED.

WE'RE SWINGING
AT ANCHOR.

YES, I CAN FEEL THE DRIFT.

WELL, WE'D BETTER LET YOU
TURN IN, CAPTAIN.

WHEN DOES THE CREW
COME ABOARD?

THEY HAVE LEAVE TILL 4:00.
WE SAIL AT DAWN.

BON VOYAGE,
CAPTAIN ORTIZ.

BON VOYAGE.

THANK YOU, BUT I LOOK
FORWARD MORE EAGERLY

TO OUR NEXT VOYAGE
TO ENGLAND.

GENTLEMEN, I DRINK TO
THE SUCCESS OF THE ARMADA.

-THE ARMADA!
-THE ARMADA!

TO THE ARMADA.

INTO THE TOPS, MEN.
WE'RE GETTING UNDERWAY.

AYE!

MAN THE HELM, ABBOTT.

FOX, AT THE FORESAIL!

MATSON, UP WITH THE MAIN!

AYE, SIR.

MR. PITT,
THE MIZZEN.

- AYE, SIR.
- AYE, SIR.

ALOFT THERE!
CLEAR YOUR LEASH LINE!

CLEAR AWAY
YOUR MIZZEN VANES!

HEAVE TAUT
YOUR HALYARD!

SLACK AWAY
YOUR TRUE LINES!

YOUR PASSPORT,

HERE.

VERY GOOD, YOUR EXCELLENCY.
SORRY TO HAVE STOPPED YOU.

WE'RE TAKING PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST THE PRIVATEERS, SIR.

DRIVE ON!

MARÍA, THERE'S STILL
TIME TO RECONSIDER.

I CAN HOLD THE BOAT
AT DOVER

WHILE WE SEND
FOR YOUR THINGS.

NO, UNCLE.
I'VE MADE UP MY MIND.

I'M STAYING HERE.

BUT IF TROUBLE
SHOULD COME

BETWEEN OUR COUNTRY
AND ENGLAND,

YOUR POSITION HERE
MAY BECOME VERY DIFFICULT.

I'M AS MUCH ENGLISH
AS SPANISH.

MAYBE MORE.

IS THAT THE REASON,
MARÍA?

I CAN'T
GO BACK TO SPAIN

AS LONG AS THERE'S
ANY HOPE.

UNCLE, LET'S NOT
TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

I'LL BE LONELY
AND HOMESICK,

BUT I KNOW I'D BE
LONELY WHEREVER I AM.

UP OARS!

NOW, REMEMBER, AS SOON AS
DON ÁLVAREZ COMES DOWN,

TELL HIM IN SPANISH

YOU'LL TAKE HIM OUT
TO CAPTAIN ORTIZ.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

WHAT SHALL WE DO
WHEN WE GET HIM ABOARD?

NOTHING. JUST HOLD HIM
UNTIL FURTHER ORDERS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU,
CAPTAIN?

HOW WILL YOU
GET TO THE QUEEN?

I DON'T KNOW.
NOW OFF WITH YOU, LADS.

QUICK AS YOU CAN
TO THE LANDING.

-AYE!
-AYE!

DOÑA MARÍA, EXCELENCIA,
A SUS ORDENES.

GOOD-BYE, UNCLE.

GOOD-BYE, MARÍA.

MAY YOU FIND
YOUR HAPPINESS.

I--I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT CRY OUT.

GEOFFREY.

I--I SAW YOUR CARRIAGE
WAITING, AND...

I COULDN'T HELP IT.

WHERE DID YOU
COME FROM?

HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

ON THE SHIP THAT
CAME FOR YOUR UNCLE.

BUT--BUT YOU,

WHY AREN'T YOU
GOING WITH HIM?

HE'S GOING TO SPAIN.

AND YOU'RE
STAYING HERE?

WHY?

DON'T YOU KNOW WHY?

EVER SINCE THAT DAY
YOU WENT AWAY,

I'VE--I'VE BEEN
IN TORMENT

THINKING SOMETHING
MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU

AND YOU'D NEVER KNOW,

AND THEN IT DID HAPPEN,

AND I'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN MYSELF UNTIL NOW.

I LOVE YOU.

I'VE LOVED YOU
EVER SINCE THAT DAY

IN THE ROSE GARDEN.

ONLY I KEPT IT TO MYSELF
THEN BECAUSE I WAS...

I WAS TOO PROUD.

I'M NOT PROUD ANYMORE.

ONLY...I CAN'T BELIEVE
I FOUND YOU AGAIN.

GEOFFREY.
CAN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?

I'M SORRY. I...

I DON'T SEEM
TO HAVE ANY WORDS.

MARÍA, THERE WERE
TIMES IN PANAMA,

IN THE GALLEY,

WHEN I'D HAVE
GIVEN MY LIFE

FOR ONE SIGHT
OF YOU.

AND NOW YOU'RE HERE,
CLOSE.

I JUST CAN'T REALIZE
IT'S ALL--

BUT I AM HERE,
AND WE'RE TOGETHER.

NOTHING'S EVER GOING
TO SEPARATE US AGAIN.

NOT DISTANCE
AND NOT PRIDE.

NOT EVEN A LARGE BOUQUET
OF ENGLISH ROSES.

CURSE THIS FOG.

IT'LL BE LATE BEFORE
WE'RE IN LONDON.

YOU'RE STILL IN DANGER.

THAT'LL BE OVER WHEN
I GET TO THE QUEEN.

THEY'RE STOPPING
EVERYBODY AT LONDON GATE.

LOOKING FOR HONEST
ENGLISH SAILORS.

STRANGE, BUT IT NEVER
OCCURS TO ME ANYMORE

THAT I'M SPANISH
AND YOU'RE ENGLISH.

IT DOESN'T SEEM
IMPORTANT.

'TISN'T.

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
WAR AND POLITICS,

BUT I BELIEVE IN YOU,

AND WHATEVER YOU DO
MUST BE RIGHT.

PLEASE LET ME HELP.

IF I COULD ONLY
GET INTO THE CASTLE

WITHOUT BEING
RECOGNIZED, I COULD--

I'LL LET YOU IN
MY ENTRANCE.

MISS LATHAM'S
WAITING UP TO LET ME IN.

BUT THE GUARDS--AS SOON AS
I STEP OUT OF THE CARRIAGE--

THEY'LL JUST THINK
I'M SMUGGLING IN MY LOVER.

AFTER ALL,
IT'S THE TRUTH.

YOUR PASS?

WE PASSED THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING

TAKING
HIS EXCELLENCY

THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR
TO DOVER.

THERE'S ONLY
HIS NIECE INSIDE.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY
YOURSELF?

YES, OF COURSE.

THERE'S SOMETHING THE MATTER.
WE'RE STOPPING TOO LONG.

I BEG YOUR PARDON,
MILADY,

I'LL HAVE TO ASK
YOU TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF.

CERTAINLY.

THEY TOLD ME OUTSIDE
YOU WERE ALONE.

I'LL HAVE TO SEE
YOUR PAPERS, TOO, SIR.

I JUST CAME IN ON
THE MADRE DE DIOS, OFFICER.

I WASN'T EXPECTING
TO GO OUT TO LONDON--

THAT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE,
BUT I'M SORRY--

IT WAS MY UNCLE
DON ÁLVAREZ WHO SENT HIM.

A SPECIAL MISSION.

I'M SORRY, MILADY.
MY ORDERS ARE...

THAT NO ONE GOES THROUGH
THIS GATE WITHOUT A PASS.

OFFICER, I'M ON
A SPECIAL MISSION

FOR LORD WOLFINGHAM.

HERE.

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

VERY WELL, THEN.

SORRY TO HAVE DELAYED YOU.

DRIVE ON!

WHEN WE GET INSIDE
THE GROUNDS,

DRIVE STRAIGHT
TO THE GUARDHOUSE

AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE
AND DRIVE FAST!

DON'T WORRY.
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

GEOFFREY,
DARLING.

I LOVE YOU.

IN THE COACH!

OFFICER OF THE GUARD!

IN THE COACH!
CAPTAIN THORPE! ARREST HIM!

OPEN THE DOOR!

AM I IN SOME DANGER,
OFFICER?

YOUR PARDON, DOÑA MARÍA,
BUT I THOUGHT THAT--

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE,
OFFICER?

HE ISN'T HERE.
WHERE IS HE?

THERE MUST BE SOME
MISTAKE, SIR.

HE WAS IN HERE WHEN WE
ENTERED THE CASTLE GATE.

DOÑA MARÍA, WHERE IS
CAPTAIN THORPE?

CAPTAIN THORPE?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE MAN

WHO RODE WITH YOU
IN THIS COACH

FROM DOVER
TO THIS CASTLE.

BY WHAT RIGHT
DO YOU QUESTION ME?

GUARD, CLOSE THE DOOR.

DRIVE ON.

HYAH! HYAH!

OFFICER, I WANT YOU
TO STATION GUARDS

AT ALL ENTRANCES
LEADING TO THE QUEEN

AND ORDER AN IMMEDIATE SEARCH
OF THE CASTLE GROUNDS.

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY,
MR. KRONER?

LORD WOLFINGHAM'S.
YOU'LL HAVE HIS WRITTEN ORDERS

AS SOON AS
I CAN REPORT TO HIM.

JUST ONE MOMENT, MARÍA.

CAPTAIN THORPE!

INSIDE, PLEASE!

QUICK, PLEASE!

SEARCH EVERY CORRIDOR
IN THE PALACE.

SERGEANT, TAKE YOUR MEN
AND GO THROUGH THE LEFT WING.

NOW, MIND YOU, CAPTAIN THORPE
IS NOT TO GET TO THE QUEEN.

PUT HIM UNDER ARREST
AND TAKE HIM TO THE NORTH TOWER.

THESE ARE
LORD WOLFINGHAM'S ORDERS.

YES, SIR.
THIS WAY, LADS.

THE REST OF YOU MEN
FOLLOW ME.

ARE YOU IN DANGER?

-UNTIL I SEE THE QUEEN.
-I'LL HELP YOU.

THERE'S A PRIVATE CORRIDOR
TO THE QUEEN.

GOOD.

CAPTAIN THORPE,
DID CARL COME BACK?

CARL ALWAYS
COMES BACK.

HE'S AT DOVER.

THE DOOR'S STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THE FIRST CORRIDOR

TO YOUR LEFT.

THERE.

DELAY THEM AS LONG
AS YOU CAN.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE HAVE AN ORDER
TO SEARCH YOUR ROOMS.

SEARCH OUR ROOMS?
WHAT FOR?

I'M SORRY, MISS LATHAM,

BUT I CAN'T
TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN.

EITHER YOU OPEN THE DOOR,
OR WE BREAK IT IN.

BREAK THAT DOOR IN,

AND THE QUEEN
SHALL HEAR OF IT.

THE QUEEN WILL HEAR
OF IT IF WE DON'T.

VERY WELL.
BREAK IT IN.

GUARDS! STOP!

HAVE YOU 9 LIVES,
CAPTAIN THORPE?

SURELY, BY NOW MOST OF THEM
MUST BE USED UP.

I WAS EXPECTING YOU,
CAPTAIN,

BUT NOT ALONE,

NOR IN A SPANISH UNIFORM.

YOU SHOULD BE
WEARING IT.

PERHAPS I SHALL...

ONE DAY.

YOU HAVE SOME DISPATCHES
FOR ME, CAPTAIN?

I HAVE SOME DISPATCHES
FOR THE QUEEN.

I'M AFRAID
I SHALL HAVE TO ASK YOU

NOT TO DISTURB HER HIGHNESS.

THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL
OF YOU, MILORD,

BUT I THINK SHE'LL WISH
TO BE DISTURBED.

THESE DISPATCHES
BEAR THE SEAL OF SPAIN.

YOU WON'T BE AS LUCKY
THIS TIME AS AT PANAMA.

CAPTAIN THORPE!

CAPTAIN!

STOP IT!

STOP IT, I TELL YOU!

YOUR MAJESTY.

LORD WOLFINGHAM.

ONE LESS ENEMY
OF ENGLAND.

READ THESE, YOUR GRACE.

SECRET DISPATCHES,
FROM PHILLIP TO WOLFINGHAM.

PROOF OF THEIR PLANS TO SEND
AN ARMADA AGAINST ENGLAND.

CAPTAIN GEOFFREY THORPE.

IN RECOGNITION
OF YOUR VALIANT SERVICES,

I PRONOUNCE YOU
A KNIGHT OF THE REALM.

RISE, SIR GEOFFREY THORPE.

ACCEPT BY MY HAND
THE HOMAGE OF YOUR COUNTRY

AND THE GRATITUDE
OF ITS QUEEN.

-HOORAY!
-HOORAY!

AND NOW,
MY LOYAL SUBJECTS,

A GRAVE DUTY
CONFRONTS US ALL--

TO PREPARE OUR NATION
FOR A WAR THAT NONE OF US WANTS,

LEAST OF ALL YOUR QUEEN.

WE HAVE TRIED
BY ALL MEANS IN OUR POWER

TO AVERT THIS WAR.

WE HAVE NO QUARREL
WITH THE PEOPLE OF SPAIN

OR OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY,

BUT WHEN THE RUTHLESS
AMBITION OF A MAN

THREATENS TO ENGULF THE WORLD,

IT BECOMES THE SOLEMN OBLIGATION
OF ALL FREE MEN

TO AFFIRM THAT THE EARTH BELONGS
NOT TO ANY ONE MAN,

BUT TO ALL MEN,

AND THAT FREEDOM
IS THE DEED AND TITLE

TO THE SOIL
ON WHICH WE EXIST.

FIRM IN THIS FAITH,
WE SHALL NOW MAKE READY

TO MEET THE GREAT ARMADA
THAT PHILLIP SENDS AGAINST US.

TO THIS END,
I PLEDGE YOU SHIPS--

SHIPS WORTHY OF OUR SEAMEN,

A MIGHTY FLEET HEWN
OUT OF THE FORESTS OF ENGLAND,

A NAVY FOREMOST IN THE WORLD

NOT ONLY IN OUR TIME

BUT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

-HOORAY!
-HOORAY!

TO ENGLAND
AND THE QUEEN!
