Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
Mary! What are you about? To the
mistress, Sir. She wants her clothes.
2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,560
You obey only my orders,
do you understand?
3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,240
You cannot take this lightly.
They mean to ruin you!
4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,920
You many announce me to my husband.
5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,960
Your business? I wish to see my son.
6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,920
You may not. You cast her out!
I have lost my wife! To you!
7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,680
I think, sir, an opportunity now
presents itself.
8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,000
You are to testify in court that
they did hotly embrace.
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,360
And now your husband's imaginings
will be presumed as fact.
10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,080
And we shall be ruined for it.
11
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,240
The Royal Hospital for Seamen,
latterly known as the Greenwich Hospital,
12
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,040
is, by your kind duty and patronage,
13
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,960
a charity for
our brave seamen and their families.
14
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:31,240
It is my privilege,
as First Lord of the Admiralty,
15
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,200
to preside over
this most worthy institution.
16
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,880
We shall provide for the relief
and support of those who,
17
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,840
for reason of age, wounds or other
disabilities,
18
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,640
shall be incapable of
further service at sea.
19
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
And, unable to maintain themselves,
20
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,120
we shall provide
accommodation and sustenance.
21
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,000
This is the promise of our charter,
22
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,160
of your avowal to the great
tradition of the British navy.
23
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,280
BANGING
24
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,240
NOISE INTENSIFIES
25
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,240
I drink to you.
26
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,800
SHOUTING AND BANGING
27
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,440
Who began this?
28
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,080
I make no complaint.
29
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,080
I did, sir.
30
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,000
This food belongs on the floor,
for a dog to forage there. Why so?
31
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
We have eaten horse before,
Captain Baillie,
32
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,040
when we were desperate sailors at war
and in need of provision.
33
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,440
We would not expect to
do so in our sanctuary.
34
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,720
LAUGHTER
35
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,160
He promised me unearthly sexual
pleasure and to get me with child.
36
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Not personally?
37
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Through the advent of his
'celestial bed'.
38
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,600
I would be cured
and no longer barren.
39
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,720
The 'celestial bed'. He named it so?
40
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Mmm. He prescribed
'daily electrifications'.
41
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,480
RAUCOUS LAUGHTER
42
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,800
And while you and your
husband lay on the bed, what was Dr Graham doing?
43
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,800
In the next room,
cranking up a machine. LAUGHTER
44
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:11,080
This machine to produce 'electrical
or concocted fire', which he said would heighten and prolong...
45
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,200
venereal congress.
46
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400
And did the apparatus have
any immediate effect?
47
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,000
It made my hair stand up.
48
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,280
GALES OF LAUGHTER
49
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:21,680
Mr Garrow, your witness.
50
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,440
Your age, Madam?
51
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,400
45.
52
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,720
And you've been married how long?
53
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Five years. And never with child?
54
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,040
No. And does your
menstrual blood still flow?
55
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,680
My lord, we are not here to examine
the physiology of the prosecutrix.
56
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,480
My lord, I merely wish to
ascertain the unlikelihood of any conception here.
57
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,200
The real offence of deception
has been carried out by Mrs Cumberland herself, on herself.
58
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960
My learned friend is very ungallant.
59
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,280
I wish to temper the jury's sympathy
with some reality.
60
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,880
Perhaps my learned friend produces
his own lightning bolt at the critical moment.
61
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920
Mr Silvester, a warning.
62
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:05,520
As a way to explain his want of
sympathy, my lord, and the enmity he does provoke elsewhere.
63
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,920
You will act for your client here,
not a Drury Lane satire.
64
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
65
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,560
No more...
66
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,200
questions, Mr Garrow?
67
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,200
They complain of a deficiency
of sheets and shirts, and, as a consequence, some find
68
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:41,480
they sleep on a bare mattress,
and the nurses required to wash their remaining shirts threadbare.
69
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,960
There is a discrepancy of 95 yards of
linen but it has not been embezzled.
70
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,520
I sought not to suggest...
It has been more as a...
71
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,080
saving to the hospital.
72
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,600
But is that not strange reasoning?
73
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,200
By which you mean? The purse of the
hospital should have no greater interest than that of the seamen,
74
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,160
and these savings are being made
through their regulated allowances.
75
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,560
There is more? If not, Captain,
we have other business to attend to.
76
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,880
They say the beer is sour and mixed
with water, unfit to drink.
77
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,360
I hope their appeals do not appear
sour by being conveyed through this old Lieutenant Governor.
78
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,240
Also in need of rectification is the
meat that has been served lately.
79
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,760
It is not to their liking?
80
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,520
It is unfit.
81
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,600
It is of dubious provenance.
82
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
It is horse.
83
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,760
That would be...highly irregular.
Indeed, Sir.
84
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,600
All of these complaints
will be looked into.
85
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,960
I hope the council understand that I
bring these informations in hope of reformation, and not reproach.
86
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Then you will leave us
with these informations.
87
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120
You overstepped your mark. The
courtroom is an adversarial place.
88
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,240
You have seen to that,
you did invent it. Is the biter bit?
89
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,280
You will use my situation
outside this court to win a case?
90
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,720
You really think you can keep
your situation private?
91
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Garrow,
by the time you come to trial,
92
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,000
every print shop and newspaper
will be full to the brim with its sensation.
93
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,440
And my insults will
pale by comparison.
94
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Mr Southouse?
95
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,680
Do we have the fact of adultery?
96
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,200
We have the evidence
that will conclude it.
97
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640
And an amount that will reflect
the dishonour of it?
98
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,600
A sum against Garrow that
will humiliate him for it?
99
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
He will never make good this debt.
100
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Ten... thousand... pounds.
101
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,160
That is monstrous.
102
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,600
Damages are aptly named.
103
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Or perhaps in your case you will
not so much be damaged as decimated.
104
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,160
Is not now the time for reassurance?
105
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Yes. Do you have any for yourself?
106
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,440
You may not take my place from me!
107
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,280
I have not the means to look after
my family!
108
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,440
I will see Captain Baillie! Smith!
109
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,240
Captain Baillie!
110
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,080
They say you've been a busy fellow.
Unruly.
111
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,080
Have disturbed the good peace
and governance of the hospital.
112
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,720
They would not listen to you!
The discipline of the house is presided over by the council.
113
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,720
They make all decisions,
I can do nothing. What is your duty here, Captain?
114
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840
To watch over the internal economy
and see the revenues not perverted.
115
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,960
And to watch over us? Yes.
116
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,200
Yet you are ignored and supplanted.
117
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,440
So you fail in all this. You do fail
in your duty to all the men.
118
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,000
And now we are to
wander the streets!
119
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,000
He has agreed to see me. You have
hopes of your husband's mercy?
120
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,120
I cannot think him altogether cruel.
121
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,680
I cannot. He'll never allow
you to be Samuel's mother.
122
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:04,320
If he will see me,
then he may allow me to see my son.
123
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,000
I wish to express my concerns at
the conduct of the hospital council.
124
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,640
Well?
125
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,320
They are...improperly trusted
with the care of the accounts.
126
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,600
They direct the offices
of the hospital and by successive encroachments
127
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240
have taken upon themselves
the governance of the house.
128
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,840
So why do you not petition them?
129
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,920
I have made an appeal, but
I fear they are deaf to every expostulation or complaint,
130
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,920
however reasonable
or regularly urged.
131
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960
So they ignored your appeal?
They do not yet respond to it.
132
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Oh, do they not?
133
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,840
Well, then is it not a little
early for you to judge it?
134
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,320
They have already thrown out
a seaman who made complaint.
135
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,680
In the interests of
discipline, no doubt.
136
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,440
Let me speak plainly, Sir.
137
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,520
How may I make a persuasive appeal
when they are the subject of the appeals I make?
138
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:06,480
They engage the contractors, and in
any investigation they will report of themselves and to themselves.
139
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,760
They will? I do not think you
should presume so. I think you should wait, sir.
140
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,480
Does he make the Admiralty
the subject of any complaint?
141
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,560
If he comes to the Admiralty seeking
redress, that is unlikely, I think.
142
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,880
Are you deprived of sleep?
143
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,760
I'm out of sorts, I apologise.
144
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,000
I see you're installed with
your new companion again.
145
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,080
At least you have the consolation
of knowing that you are not bereft of company yourself.
146
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,480
Arthur...
147
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,000
I understand that any rights
of visitation are purely at your discretion.
148
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Then you will understand that also
at the discretion of Sir Arthur is to educate the child or not,
149
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,720
to remove it to the country
with a wet nurse or not,
150
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,920
to have an entire and untrammelled
control over the child's fate.
151
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,600
Well, I hope that his
fate will include a relationship with his mother.
152
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Mr Farmer...
153
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,600
THEY WHISPER
154
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,120
May we no longer speak to each other?
155
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,560
I will go further than most men
will allow a wife such as you.
156
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,160
You will?
157
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,320
You may not see Samuel,
but you may write to him.
158
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,760
Where you may express
your sentiments to him.
159
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360
It is more than I'm
obliged to, Sarah.
160
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
You will not humiliate me!
161
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,680
I am wronged, you cannot be!
162
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:17,440
Farmer, why do I contest and protect
so fiercely that which is not mine?
163
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Sir, in law... and that which in
my heart I do not care to keep?!
164
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:28,440
Sir, you cannot entertain
the thought of letting Lady Sarah have the child back.
165
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,400
She must be seen and punished
as an adulteress. Therefore, you cannot contemplate any act
166
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:39,680
that would show her forgiveness
or acceptance, that would make your dishonour appear less.
167
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:45,120
Because the jury in the
trial against Garrow would then award you less.
168
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Having examined these complaints, we
find they appear generally malicious
169
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,040
and void of foundation... Gentlemen,
I am no malicious informer...
170
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,800
..and tending to disturb the peace
and good government of the hospital.
171
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,360
But, sirs, I only conceived of
it as the duty of my office to disclose any fraud or abuse to you.
172
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,840
We have laid a copy of our
findings before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
173
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,640
At sea, I would always place the
interests of my men above my own, and on land I merely do the same.
174
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,400
It is submitted to their lordships
that it is expedient for the peace, quiet, and regular conducting of
175
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,200
the business of the hospital
that you be removed from your employment as Lieutenant Governor.
176
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,560
I will not prostrate myself
before you to keep my position.
177
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,080
But I must inform you
that I shall write to
178
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,200
the General Court of Governors
to make the facts known in print.
179
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Gentleman, this is a libel,
a libel on you all.
180
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,160
But further than that it
criminates you, accuses you of fraud and pecuniary abuses.
181
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,080
My lord, will you also make an
affidavit? Well, I am not named.
182
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,920
I am not criminated against.
183
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,960
But, my lord, every great and
good Governor that lays eyes on this
184
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,960
will be minded to ask a
question or two of you.
185
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Every political contemporary,
friend or foe.
186
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,600
And that is why you must not
allow this a moment's credit.
187
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,200
That is why you must prosecute
for malicious libel.
188
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,000
I may write.
189
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,480
Do you think you have
sacrificed your son for me?
190
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,320
I have lost Samuel
because of my husband.
191
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,240
I only hope...
192
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,880
he does not teach him to despise me.
193
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,440
Perhaps he will come to accept him
as his true heir and at least have regard for him in that way.
194
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
And therefore you.
195
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,360
You think to console me, Will.
196
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,720
You see it is artificially beaten
to defraud the men of their just allowance of broth and pease soup.
197
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,800
This is the plainest way to show
the abuses I wrote of.
198
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,280
When you did petition the
Admiralty, was it Sandwich himself you spoke with there?
199
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,560
No, it was the Assistant Secretary,
Sir Arthur Hill.
200
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Sirs, I am a poor individual,
no fortune and unconnected.
201
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,440
I am in an unequal contest
between myself and those officers that govern.
202
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,400
Yes, yes, you are. And your removal
was agreed by the Admiralty?
203
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,480
The whole weight of the Ministry
thrown into the unequal balance against me.
204
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,160
This will be a high privilege.
To repel and expose so odious a prosecution.
205
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,400
In truth, I only wish the
reinstatement of my position.
206
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Beware. Beware of what, Mr Southouse?
207
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,920
What it is that draws you
to this case.
208
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,320
Injustice always exerts
its influence upon me.
209
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,640
I mean do not come
upon this personally.
210
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,680
Come upon it as a man of the law!
211
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,120
You wish to see me?
212
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,480
We wish to visit you, sir.
213
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,840
I don't know you. But are well
acquainted with Captain Baillie.
214
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
He is known to every man here.
215
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,720
He recommended you
as a good source of enquiry.
216
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,200
You are mistaken, sir, I am content.
217
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,560
Is it not true that you were
turned out of your cabin
218
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,880
accommodation to make room for the
enlarging of officer's apartments?
219
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,360
I make no complaint about that.
You can't deny it?
220
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,640
Where do you reside now, sir?
221
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,000
In... In the infirmary.
222
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,760
But you are not sick?
I have a bed there.
223
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,400
Are you content? I am fortunate!
224
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,200
It should not be the
fate of any man who has served his country so well as you.
225
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,880
25 year.
226
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,640
You served in the Seven Year War?
227
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,920
And Valcour Island last.
The American War of Independence.
228
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,640
Sir? You recognise it?
229
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,720
You think after 25 years' service
this be your just reward?
230
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,560
To be deprived of soup?
231
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,040
To lose your shelter?
232
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,680
How can the Officers of
this House behave so to their own fellow seamen?
233
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,440
They are not seamen, sir.
234
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560
They are land men.
235
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,960
Land men are simply those who
have never been at sea in the service of the Navy.
236
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,200
These Officers of the Hospital,
these land men, they were appointed by the Admiralty?
237
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,120
Indeed, sir.
238
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,160
Do you know why?
239
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,520
I've never been a man to
question the Admiralty.
240
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,360
Until now?
241
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,480
I shall make enquiry.
242
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,920
Jailer?
243
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,320
If I am found guilty,
I face imprisonment or fine.
244
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,360
That will not happen,
Captain Baillie.
245
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:11,280
Even if I am found not guilty,
I do not think they will return me to my post at the hospital.
246
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,160
No.
247
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Then I will gladly take a
commission to captain a ship again.
248
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,840
I do not think they
will be that forgiving.
249
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,760
Then they shall complete my ruin
whatever will happen?
250
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,960
We shall win.
251
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,840
And we shall shame them.
252
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,600
I know it is not easy to
languish here the while.
253
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,760
Mr Garrow...
254
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,120
I would rather any cannon ball
come upon me than this.
255
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,000
It is good fortune to have a
healthy child when so many succumb at such an early age.
256
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,000
We must pray for the welfare
of our children.
257
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,800
Lest they die.
258
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,480
It is your own son you talk of, sir?
259
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,240
You're confounded?
260
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,640
As if I wish its death or
think to commission its murder.
261
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
I merely wish it not, is all.
262
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520
I merely wish it with its
wretched mother!
263
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,000
And as I have explained,
for our case, that would be an outcome worse than any murder.
264
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,280
And so Garrow's offspring will
inherit my estate, my title!
265
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Why should I go to court for
my honour when I shall be dishonoured within a generation?!
266
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:44,120
The Hospital being administered
as a charity, its officers a matter of public record. And?
267
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:47,640
Mr Cooke, Secretary,
resident of Huntingdon.
268
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,720
Mr Ibbotson, Steward,
native of the same.
269
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Reverend Lee, Chaplain, again
of Huntingdon.
270
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Mr Critchely, Auditor...
Of Huntingdon?
271
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,240
Every man in office at the Greenwich
Hospital is from the very same town.
272
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,400
What sense is there in this
when Greenwich is such a very long way from there?
273
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,960
And such a very long way from here.
274
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,480
You will identify yourself, sir!
275
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,400
John Southouse, London Attorney.
276
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,400
And should I identify you
as a gamekeeper, sir?
277
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,560
I am land steward here
and attorney in Huntingdon.
278
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,960
That is a novel way
to go about the law.
279
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,120
Do your clients give you some
difficulty? Your business here?
280
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:54,960
I merely seek to understand why
Huntingdon men seem to be universally employed at the Greenwich Hospital?
281
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,880
You trespass here, sir. This is the
hospital's land? No longer.
282
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,240
It has been sold? To who, sir?
283
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,480
It has not been sold.
284
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520
Then whose gift?
285
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920
I think an answer
may do you no good at all.
286
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,920
Very well.
287
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,480
You have no need of your gun,
unless you mistake me for partridge.
288
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:25,920
In previous years the hospital's
landed estates furnished the hospital with one third of its revenue.
289
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,640
£21,000, enough to keep the
seamen in complete comfort.
290
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,920
Then why are they not?
Because the land has been given away.
291
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,760
And the revenue no longer flows
in such amounts to the hospital.
292
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,440
You think the owners of the hospital
to be the beneficiaries?
293
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,400
I know it to be so!
I have seen the records.
294
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,120
How does ownership
of the land benefit them?
295
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,960
It has enabled the officers
of Greenwich to become freeholders in Huntingdon.
296
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,080
And freeholders may vote.
297
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,560
The paternity of Samuel is a lie.
298
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,120
You find it hard to endure,
but it is presumed in law.
299
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,360
Unless you were away at sea or can
prove impotency. Neither apply. No.
300
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,080
But there is another way...
301
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,640
To establish that
Garrow bastardised your issue.
302
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,400
Well?
A signed affidavit from Lady Sarah,
303
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,440
attesting to that fact.
304
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,480
She'd never agree.
305
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,360
A mother who can be reunited with
her child, despite her adultery?
306
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,800
That may not present
such a great difficulty to her.
307
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,520
Samuel the prize for her confession?
308
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,480
And as a result, the jury minded
to award the maximum penalty -
309
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,200
against Garrow.
310
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Well, draft it!
311
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,920
Will any of the seaman
speak in my defence?
312
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,800
Many may wish to
but none will dare to.
313
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:14,000
Can we not persuade these men,
so fearful of keeping their meagre settlement to speak out?
314
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,640
Some of these men have lost their
wits and limbs on bloody decks when their country required it of them.
315
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,720
But now they are seamen on dry
land and they are vulnerable.
316
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,880
Beholden to their
country's charity, not to me.
317
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Charles Smith,
he was dismissed from this place.
318
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,400
He would therefore have more
cause than most to speak out.
319
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,960
If I take you to him, I will
be regarded as his accomplice!
320
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,080
Mr Boycott! You may still
hide behind your silence.
321
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,480
You have business with me here?
322
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,520
Is it not your business to hide
around a corner and watch me?
323
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,120
This business is somewhat
more formal, Lady Sarah.
324
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840
This is drawn up for your signature,
it is also a document
325
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,680
that demonstrates Sir Arthur's
generous and liberal outlook.
326
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,000
Custody of Samuel shall
reside with yourself...
327
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:21,440
if you shall admit his illegitimacy
and that the child imposed upon your husband is the child of Mr Garrow.
328
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,400
CHILDREN CRY AND COUGH
329
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,480
We are to be returned, Robert?
330
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,080
I'm afraid not.
331
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Then what useful
purpose brings you here?
332
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,520
You have some remedy
for my poor daughter?
333
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:05,120
Captain Baillie is in Newgate
for what he has spoke on behalf of you all.
334
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,240
If you will bear witness for him,
335
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,760
it may be hoped that only injustice
is banished from the Hospital Gate.
336
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Your courage is required once more.
337
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,840
Mr Farmer, you have played a very
good game.
338
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,760
It was required of him,
Lord Melville.
339
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,400
When I instructed him I am
certain he did not think me to become quite so troublesome.
340
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:35,600
I must admit I had hoped that
Lady Sarah's signature had been immediately forthcoming.
341
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,000
She will need to seek
Garrow's permission.
342
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,480
And that I suspect is where their
difficulties will really begin.
343
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,560
As Garrow defends Captain
Baillie tomorrow, we must look forward to his distraction.
344
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,240
His distraction tomorrow,
his reputation very soon.
345
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,840
We shall have some peace in our
society when we have brought about his silence.
346
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,280
I think it may be Lady Sarah
first to strike him dumb!
347
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,880
When you learned of my pregnancy,
you did offer to bring the child up as your own.
348
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,640
There is no similarity here. But if
you can own the child as your own...
349
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,880
It is a fiction! It is a lie!
I know!
350
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,560
But for the sake of my son
I would bear any lie!
351
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,200
And you think I can
bear it as easily?
352
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Will? Yes, Mr Southouse?
353
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,960
We have business at Newgate.
354
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,200
Why don't you attend it?
355
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,760
It is the trial of
Captain Baillie tomorrow.
356
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,680
Well, then I will
attend it tomorrow.
357
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000
I understand what this
reunion would mean to you.
358
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,880
But I would deprive myself of the
means to defend the suit against me.
359
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,680
If you sign this affidavit,
it becomes evidence in court of my treachery.
360
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,600
That is why the child
is being offered to you!
361
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,040
You take Samuel and I am damned and
ruined. How else would you wish it?
362
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280
That I lose my son forever?
363
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,760
So that you may
confound my husband...
364
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,160
I will not submit to those
who will conspire against me.
365
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,680
And if I submit for the sake of
my son, you will never forgive me?
366
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,880
I would be broken because
you had struck such a bargain.
367
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,960
I do not think I could live
peacefully with you after that.
368
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:21,240
So I must lose you? If you will
have your son at any price, yes!
369
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:27,720
If you will allow your husband
still to manipulate and abuse you, then yes, it must be so.
370
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,040
I am deprived of my child,
371
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,360
so I have no pride in this.
I am allowed none.
372
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,160
You have too much, Will!
373
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,520
Is it pride
to wish to be true to myself?
374
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Or to wish that you would
be true to me?
375
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Very well.
376
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,680
Sign the affidavit.
377
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,000
I will resign myself to my fate,
with you and at my trial.
378
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,880
It seems you did not fail
in your duty to us after all
379
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,880
and I commend you,
Captain Baillie sir.
380
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,640
Myself, I do not wish to be thrown
out, but nor can I keep quiet.
381
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,720
And if it were possible
all the men would assemble at the Old Bailey for you.
382
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,560
Then I may face the jury proudly.
383
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,080
To paternity.
384
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,600
Really, Hill?
385
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,000
Most certainly. To paternity, I say.
386
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
To paternity. To paternity.
387
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,000
KNOCKING
388
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,320
Enter.
389
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,200
If you'll excuse me.
390
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,240
Hill?
391
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,760
I must a...
392
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,280
I must take my leave of you.
393
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,040
MUFFLED: Argh!
BANGING
394
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,680
ANGUISHED SHOUTS AND BANGING
395
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,200
Sir?
396
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,880
This humour will burst through
your veins, if you persist in it.
397
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,200
I have been wronged.
398
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,560
But the wrong was
to have been undone.
399
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Lady Sarah - she's thwarted you?
400
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920
SNORTING LAUGH
401
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,200
It seems to be the...
402
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Seems to be the role of all women
to thwart and betray me!
403
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,000
Or am I just so...
404
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,080
so poor in judgement
of the company I keep?
405
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,000
The company you keep?
406
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,840
Do you understand the responsibility
that I bear to my name?
407
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,240
The duty that is expected of me?
408
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,760
And if my wife did fail me,
then I should still prevail.
409
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,200
But it seems not.
410
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,880
I am this time
411
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,160
cuckolded by fate, by the sick
joke that nature did create.
412
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,680
This time!
413
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,120
Sir, it appears you have
not been honest with me
414
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120
in how you have spent your time.
415
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,600
I no longer drink to paternity.
416
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Garrow will mitigate
your claim to nothing.
417
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,120
You must speak very
frankly with me now
418
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,840
or Garrow will win...
419
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360
..and you will face the ruin
of your own reputation.
420
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,080
Even now, she may be arrived
in the nursery,
421
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,800
throwing kisses upon her son.
422
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,360
Even now, Hill may be smiling
423
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,000
at her signature on the affidavit,
424
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,200
glad at the bargain he has struck
that will expose my iniquity.
425
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:19,200
You know that my loyalty has always
been to you and not to Lady Sarah.
426
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:24,680
Therefore... Therefore... ..you
must separate yourself from her.
427
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,720
Make a public disavowal.
428
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,960
Abandon her?
429
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,920
The trial will go better for you.
430
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,600
If the jury think she be of less
value, for being thrown aside?
431
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:43,840
You will not escape unpunished
for this, but I do not just speak to how you may mitigate that.
432
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,120
I speak that you do not incur
further punishment.
433
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,240
You attend to my heart?
434
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,080
If you will not.
435
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,400
Look what you have come to.
436
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,840
When I was down in my cups, you
did not entertain it, but kindly so.
437
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,400
I only wish to repay that.
438
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,000
Will. What?
439
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,680
She will choose her son over you.
Hmm.
440
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,000
You are unhappy
and she has made you so.
441
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,080
She asks more of you
than you ever ask of her.
442
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,520
She gave up her reputation.
For me.
443
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,560
But you must do justice to your own -
in court!
444
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,800
You are not even mindful of the duty
you owe Captain Baillie this night.
445
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,840
Captain Thomas Baillie,
you are indicted with maliciously
446
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,920
intending to deprive
the plaintiffs of their good name...
447
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,280
You may not wish to sit so
conspicuously alongside me.
448
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,400
By which you mean, Buller?
449
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,120
You may have no business
with the case today, but I'm afraid the case may have business with you.
450
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:48,840
..concerning the government of the
Greenwich Hospital and abuses in the administration of the charity there.
451
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,840
You look unwell, Garrow. Pale.
452
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,000
Are you fit for this trial?
453
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,320
I worry that you may not be able
to perform your duty here today.
454
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,200
I shall do my duty at your expense.
455
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,240
I express concern for your welfare,
yet you insult me.
456
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:18,920
But, if I were having
to lavish a bounteous award
457
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,960
of £10,000 on my lover's husband,
458
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,840
that would not sit well
with me, either.
459
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,360
Did you sleep?
460
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,880
Not a wink.
461
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,400
Why did you recommend Captain
Baillie be removed from office?
462
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,200
He undermined the governance
of the hospital,
463
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,320
thought his own authority
diminished by it.
464
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,280
And upon his removal, did then
furnish the governors with his complaints and allegations? He did.
465
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,520
A man who so disturbed the peace
that his removal be warranted.
466
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:10,720
Upon that removal, compounds
his malice with the circulation of his grievances? Exactly so.
467
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,480
Since when was vengeance a virtue?
468
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,680
LOUD MURMURING
469
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,120
It confirmed
our previous judgement of him.
470
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:23,920
A man whose only real
cause was not the seamen, but his own removal from office?
471
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,000
LOUD MURMURING
472
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,120
Tell me,
473
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,800
how much is good ox beef?
474
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,520
34 shillings.
475
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,920
And the flesh of rams?
476
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,200
12 shillings. And mutton?
477
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,440
30 shillings. And was complaint
ever made that the butcher
478
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,040
you contracted with was supplying
horse, instead of good ox beef?
479
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,400
The complaint was investigated.
Are the seaman still eating it?
480
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,640
We...have spoken to the butcher.
481
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,240
Answer the question.
Are the men still being cheated of their meat allowance?
482
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:09,200
We merely thought to make a saving.
For whose benefit?
483
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,120
Did the butcher supply horse
and charge 34 shillings for the price of good ox beef?
484
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,680
I am not the auditor.
485
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,400
The butcher that you contracted
with - from which town? Huntingdon.
486
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,320
And the supplier of deficient linen?
The same.
487
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,600
By which, I mean Huntingdon,
but admit to no deficiency.
488
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,800
And the sour beer conveyed in
rotten pipes and mixed with water?
489
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,760
My lord... Simply tell
the court who is the brewer.
490
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,720
My lord, it is not unnatural to wish
to do business with men one is previously acquainted with.
491
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:46,240
It is a very convenient arrangement.
But I shall not be criminated by it.
492
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:48,640
You deny the facts,
as written by Captain Baillie?
493
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,160
When he seeks to divine the facts
as criminal, yes.
494
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,840
So you do not deny the facts?
495
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Or perhaps you think
496
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,480
that the fact of the neglect
of duty not criminal?
497
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:07,360
Or that if you do not
actively promote abuses, the winking at them is not criminal?
498
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,960
I put it to you that you and all
your countrymen of Huntingdon
499
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,440
are acquainted with unblushing
opportunities for self-enrichment.
500
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,240
And yet you have the effrontery
to come here as a prosecutor,
501
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:25,960
to turn the table on the defendant
and stifle the necessary enquiry into the subject of his complaints!
502
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:31,120
My lord, my learned friend
seeks to bully the witness into confession of conspiracy.
503
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,920
I will have this conspiracy out.
504
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,560
I will not allow a man's life
to be destroyed by a witch hunt!
505
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,320
My lord,
506
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,520
I fear my learned friend
speaks of his own misfortunes outside of this court.
507
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,880
LAUGHTER
508
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,080
Does Mr Garrow defend
Captain Baillie or himself?
509
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,000
LAUGHTER
510
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,440
You have another witness,
Mr Silvester?
511
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,200
My lord, I call on Sir Arthur Hill,
512
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,520
Assistant Secretary
to the Admiralty. Sir Arthur Hill.
513
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,600
You believe he had, before the
results of any investigation,
514
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,960
decided in advance to calumniate
and decry the hospital council and those officers within it?
515
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,600
He did calumniate
and decry those officers in conversations with myself,
516
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,640
as enquiries were being made
by them. And had begun to demonstrate his malice? Yes.
517
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,840
And once removed from office,
circulates his thoughts in a book.
518
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,160
It's another demonstration
of his vice.
519
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,600
LOUD MURMURING
520
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:03,560
Sir Arthur, why do you think Captain
Baillie came to the Admiralty?
521
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,320
To petition the Earl of Sandwich.
522
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,720
And finding him unavailable,
did petition you?
523
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,760
I am Assistant Secretary.
524
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Having appealed to the Council,
without effect,
525
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,920
and having been equally
unsuccessful with yourself, do you think it unreasonable
526
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,480
for the prisoner to attract the
attention of the general governors?
527
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,920
Well, if you publish
malicious falsehoods, then that is unreasonable.
528
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,840
And subject to the laws of libel.
529
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,000
Do not tell me of the law.
530
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,960
Why should I not?
531
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,600
I understand what it is to seek
redress for grievous assaults
532
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,120
and injury upon one's
character and reputation!
533
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,640
ASSEMBLY EGG HIM ON
534
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,760
And I understand the distress
caused by charges brought without foundation.
535
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,240
ASSEMBLY: Hear, hear.
536
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,960
This book, it was not published,
it was not printed for sale,
537
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:02,840
but for the commodious distribution
among the persons
538
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:07,200
who are called upon upon, in duty,
to examine its contents - the governors.
539
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,360
Mr Garrow,
540
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,000
a question to the witness,
not a point of law.
541
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,880
Very well, may I quote the
charter of the hospital to you?
542
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:25,800
"No officer shall be employed in
this hospital but seafaring men, or such as have lost their limbs
543
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,520
"or been otherwise disabled
in the sea service."
544
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,480
Is Captain Cooke a seafaring man?
545
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:36,000
No. No, he's a land man, he has
never been in the sea service, yet he is in office, like yourself.
546
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,680
He does not know one end of a ship
from the other, like yourself.
547
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,360
Mr Garrow! My lord,
if Mr Garrow insists that all those
548
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:51,120
who hold office at the Greenwich
Hospital be seamen, then perhaps all the managers of Bedlam be lunatics?
549
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,040
LAUGHTER
550
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,040
It appears this hospital charter
has been infringed, does it not?
551
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,280
Changed, in fact.
552
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,840
Who changed it?
553
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,840
I...
554
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,440
I cannot say. "Cannot say"?
555
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,200
You are, by your own admission,
Assistant Secretary.
556
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,320
Are you not about your duty there?
557
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:18,560
My lord, you're a
General Governor of this esteemed charity, are you not?
558
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,120
Did you know the charter
of the hospital had been altered,
559
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,080
to allow land men
from the town of Huntingdon to be appointed to office?
560
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,080
No.
561
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,200
No, I did not.
562
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,560
Sir Arthur, do you know the Land
Steward who runs the hospital's Huntingdon Estate? Of course not.
563
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,680
But you are acquainted
with his master, of course,
564
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,880
the Earl of Sandwich.
He is also your master, is he not?
565
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,360
He is the First Lord
of the Admiralty. Indeed.
566
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,840
The Land Steward is a very busy man.
He creates 40 shilling freeholds on the hospital estate
567
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:59,200
and hands them over freely
to those who his master calculates as being most useful.
568
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,240
LOUD MURMURING
569
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:04,120
Do you actually have any more
questions for me? Yes, Mr Garrow!
570
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,640
Most certainly.
571
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,440
What does a freehold bestow,
Sir Arthur? The right to vote.
572
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,680
And which borough does the Earl
represent in parliament?
573
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,920
Cambridgeshire. Yes, Cambridgeshire.
574
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,800
Containing within it
the town of Huntingdon.
575
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,560
I put it to you the charter
of the hospital was changed...
576
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:35,440
..to make him the sole and
uncontrolled ruler of this charity.
577
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,640
This hospital, his own private
fiefdom and a treasury to plunder.
578
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:44,200
I put it to you that this allows
the Earl to place his voters and partisans there.
579
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,520
LOUD MURMURING
580
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,600
My lord, we are here to determine
the conduct of Captain Baillie.
581
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,280
Mr Garrow...
582
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:56,960
I put it to you that the governors
of Greenwich Hospital have been given free rein to enrich themselves
583
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:02,640
for the political services they have
provided for the Earl of Sandwich - namely, by voting for him,
584
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:08,360
namely, by being given portions
of the hospital's land in order to vote for him! Mr Garrow!
585
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,120
The Earl of Sandwich is not before
the court. No, my lord.
586
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,240
He has sent
this pale subordinate here.
587
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:15,840
LAUGHTER
588
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,160
He has placed Sir Arthur and the
prosecutors in front of battle
589
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,480
and hopes to escape under their
mercy, under their shelter.
590
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:32,240
Yet I will drag him to light
who is the dark mover behind this scene of iniquity.
591
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:36,880
I assert that the Earl of Sandwich
has but one route to escape out of this business without
592
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:42,720
pollution and disgrace. And that
is by publicly disavowing the acts of the prosecutors
593
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:47,880
and the restoration of Captain
Baillie to his command, if he is found innocent here.
594
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,360
I did warn you. My lord,
595
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,760
my learned friend seeks to prescribe
the moral requirements of others
596
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,080
when his own morality
is far from settled.
597
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,480
LOUD MURMURING
598
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,520
Withdraw.
599
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,440
I merely make the point that
your business here is the law
600
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:10,560
and dangerous for one, such as you,
to speak of pollution and disgrace.
601
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,800
LAUGHTER
602
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,320
Are you finished, Mr Garrow?
603
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,320
Yes, my lord.
604
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,320
Thank you, Sir Arthur.
605
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,840
You may step down.
606
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,840
I am not yet finished with you.
607
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,400
Mr Boycott?
608
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,720
What did you think Captain Baillie's
duties were as Lieutenant Governor?
609
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,920
To see that our settling days
were spent in comfort and peace.
610
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,040
And how did he perform this duty,
in your estimation?
611
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:10,000
A captain to his men.
He only wished, as on board a ship, that our provision be ample.
612
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,280
And took pain to make sure
those provisions were not misapplied or perverted?
613
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,400
You cannot countenance further
on the Captain?
614
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,400
There was a warning to me,
that if I should keep company with Captain Baillie,
615
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,800
or correspond with him, that
would be an end to my preferment.
616
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,720
A warning? A warning to you by whom?
617
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,680
Very well.
618
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,440
Your preferment, Mr Boycott,
by which you mean
619
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,480
your shelter at the hospital,
asylum for your infirmity, taken away?
620
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,400
I have never before made complaint.
621
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,080
Of course not.
622
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,520
Complaints are not allowed to drown
out the riot and mirth
623
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:01,400
of luxurious land men, who have
only ever fought in the battles of the borough of Huntingdon.
624
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,200
You are not here to address your own
grievances and denounce your enemies!
625
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040
Your cause is Baillie himself.
I did warn you of this.
626
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,320
But do I not excite distrust
of the prosecution case? Make hollow their evidence?
627
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,880
This trial is about the character
and motivation of Captain Baillie
628
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,640
and the seamen
suffering at the hospital. Very well.
629
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,160
You must find a theme to stir
the hearts of the jury - all English hearts.
630
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,280
It is not enough just to curdle
blood, you must make it quicken. Very well.
631
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,840
But confess at least you
did enjoy my going to war.
632
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,120
Sir Arthur,
holed beneath the water line.
633
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,560
But, all the more
determined to repay you doubly.
634
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,000
He has removed me from Sarah.
I am already repaid.
635
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,440
But the fate of this case
still hangs in the balance. Mmm.
636
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,840
There is no signature.
637
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,960
I will not sign what isn't true.
638
00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:49,280
Then you, for ever, forfeit Samuel.
639
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,760
A man such as you will not speak
so familiar of my son's name to me.
640
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,840
A man who talks of forfeit,
as if this were a game of cards.
641
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,600
Lady Sarah, should I apologise
that I do not attend you...
642
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,080
..more delicately?
643
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,320
Or do you object
that it is a mere lawyer
644
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,120
who will speak the truth to you?
645
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,680
I understand the truth very well...
646
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,120
..and I am reconciled to what
I must leave behind.
647
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,800
You...plan some...escape,
648
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,440
some...elopement with Garrow?
649
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,840
Mr Garrow has yet a trial to face.
650
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:42,120
But at least it will not be
prejudiced by concocted evidence that Samuel is illegitimate.
651
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,080
You will not be able to load
the suit with that grievance.
652
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,240
I find the wife of every plaintiff
thinks me venal and corrupt,
653
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:54,480
but it is their own corruption
that I investigate.
654
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,000
Or perhaps, it is BECAUSE
I investigate it.
655
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,720
I have never laid with Mr Garrow.
656
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,320
And I will gladly
sign THAT affidavit.
657
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,840
I would not eat the horse.
658
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,760
I wished to shame the kitchen
with it.
659
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,840
By refusing to be cheated,
you had simply shown the ardour of a British sailor?
660
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:28,720
And for that, you and your family
were despatched without ceremony, into the street? Into a workhouse?
661
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:31,280
I was...dismissed.
662
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,480
My lord, what has any of this to do
with the character of the prisoner?
663
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:36,800
My lord, a moment.
664
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,520
Mr Smith, did Captain Baillie
witness the manner of your turning out? Most guiltily.
665
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,840
Guilty and aggrieved
that a man such as you,
666
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,320
who had fought in the naval battles
of Frederica, Grenada,
667
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,400
Cape St. Vincent, even the war
of the Austrian succession,
668
00:52:13,387 --> 00:52:16,153
I would be obliged if you
would fetch a coach to Dover.
669
00:52:21,364 --> 00:52:24,409
EXCITED CHATTER
670
00:52:32,987 --> 00:52:37,155
How do you find the prisoner
charged with this indictment? Guilty or not guilty?
671
00:52:40,964 --> 00:52:42,606
Not guilty.
672
00:52:42,606 --> 00:52:44,089
CHEERING
673
00:52:44,089 --> 00:52:48,658
Release the prisoner.
Captain Baillie, you may step down.
674
00:52:52,707 --> 00:52:54,670
Court shall rise.
675
00:53:04,892 --> 00:53:08,700
I have always found you
more convincing as a gentleman than a barrister.
676
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:10,944
Today, I find you neither.
677
00:53:14,231 --> 00:53:15,274
Captain Baillie.
678
00:53:15,274 --> 00:53:18,880
Then my career is not ended,
Sandwich cannot refuse me!
679
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:24,893
I'm sure you will not remain
without employment. But you yourself asked for my restoration.
680
00:53:24,893 --> 00:53:30,183
Is it not now proved here
that I am worthy of whatever duty they will bestow on me?
681
00:53:30,183 --> 00:53:32,628
Yes, yes, it is proven.
682
00:53:34,433 --> 00:53:38,000
Some rum with your witnesses,
I think, to savour the judgement!
683
00:53:47,138 --> 00:53:52,029
Your oratory has the Old Bailey
enthralled, Mr Garrow.
684
00:53:52,029 --> 00:53:57,359
That you must be silent
at your own trial is a sadness.
685
00:53:57,359 --> 00:54:00,244
What business do you have with me?
686
00:54:00,244 --> 00:54:03,572
I may be against you,
but I do admire you.
687
00:54:03,572 --> 00:54:04,854
Like you, I am...
688
00:54:06,218 --> 00:54:08,261
..in this world, but not of it.
689
00:54:10,626 --> 00:54:13,511
And soon,
you may not even be in it...
690
00:54:15,436 --> 00:54:17,681
..and far more alone
than you did think.
691
00:54:22,330 --> 00:54:24,293
Why do you affect pity for my sake?
692
00:54:26,178 --> 00:54:28,303
I do not affect it.
693
00:54:30,546 --> 00:54:32,913
Lady Sarah leaves for France...
694
00:54:34,474 --> 00:54:37,441
..and I think
to show you pity for that.
695
00:54:58,243 --> 00:55:00,928
Pardon me. Pardon me!
696
00:55:29,347 --> 00:55:30,390
Who is it?
697
00:55:33,034 --> 00:55:38,245
Sarah, you have signed the affidavit
to be reunited with Samuel? No, I would not.
698
00:55:38,245 --> 00:55:41,532
Then why do you go? Why would you
flee into exile and not tell me?
699
00:55:43,135 --> 00:55:46,501
For fear that you would care too
much, or too little. "Too little"?
700
00:55:46,501 --> 00:55:49,949
Too little and I would not
have come immediately. You wished to say goodbye.
701
00:55:49,949 --> 00:55:51,552
I know what I wished for.
702
00:55:55,279 --> 00:55:59,208
I would not betray you,
even in the cause of my son.
703
00:55:59,208 --> 00:56:05,620
But neither can I come to you
and be happy, because I have lost him, in your cause.
704
00:56:06,903 --> 00:56:10,229
Therefore, I leave for Calais.
You betray me more if you run.
705
00:56:10,229 --> 00:56:12,875
It is hardly a place
to go willingly.
706
00:56:12,875 --> 00:56:15,642
But I may live economically
there, anonymously.
707
00:56:15,642 --> 00:56:19,929
And as I am in law, no-one now and
do not exist, that suits me well!
708
00:56:19,929 --> 00:56:23,497
If you go you, will be simply
be owning your disgrace.
709
00:56:23,497 --> 00:56:24,900
But if you stay...
710
00:56:28,787 --> 00:56:30,190
..you will own your love.
711
00:56:31,994 --> 00:56:34,240
And Sarah,
some loves must have a defence.
712
00:56:37,205 --> 00:56:39,010
If there be evidence for such love.
713
00:56:55,723 --> 00:56:59,692
You shall not be deprived
of either of the loves you have. We shall ensure it.
714
00:56:59,742 --> 00:57:04,292
