Hey!

Have you seen Danny any of you?

No, I asked you a question.

Have you seen Danny using your boat for sure?

Come on with us, this salad.

You better go ask Captain Barry.

I'll ask him all right.

I'll ask him all right.

To my sister Elizabeth, our mother's locket,

which I know she will treasure.

And to my brother James, the pick of any sextant in my store,

to be suitably engraved,

signed this day of our lord September 12, 1880.

But there is a codicill.

Mr. Or needing added this codicill to take into account the Married Women's Property Act.

Oh, yeah, I talk with a man.

James, where?

Picking an old urn.

The codicill reads,

having passed over the property in a state known as Tilford Grange,

to my dear wife Sarah,

under the provisions of the Married Women's Property Act of 1882,

and having made due financial provision for her future by separate covenant,

I will now beque the department store to my son Samuel,

who shall also enjoy my other remaining property as if it were his own.

But only providing that the aforementioned department store

remains under his management and under the joint name of Robert, Onedian and Son.

Should these conditions cease to be observed either now,

or at some future date,

then all properties revert to my wife Sarah for the whole of her natural life.

Assign this day of our lord 15th of March, 1883.

Conning, crafty, damn it.

Well, I think that is all for the present.

If you would care to attend the in my office, tomorrow's our...

The codicill was your idea.

Your brother was worried.

He was proud of the department store. He had ideas.

Big ideas.

So knowing that he wasn't too keen. You're tied a man and forts, eh?

Good day, Mr. Andievent.

Hmm.

Well, get your mother a brandy, will you? She'll probably need it.

Come on, lads. Apply, lads.

James.

No, no, no. Look to Elizabeth. I think she's taking a bit hard.

Well, Sarah, that's that, then, eh?

Shut and finished.

You're a good person.

Worse parts over and home.

You perhaps.

Oh, l said he'll do no good, neither in over him. He's gone.

Oh, come on, lassie. Wouldn't want to see you like this.

Got to pick up the pieces.

Now, you've no money worries. He's left you well-provided for your security.

You don't understand, James. Just one little bone. It's as though I killed him.

Look, it could have happened for anybody. It was an accident.

Oh, l are you not looking at all that time to breathe?

Oh, stop it, Sarah.

No.

You're going to have to look to Samuel. He's the one that will need you now.

Oh.

Samuel. Yes.

I never wanted him tied that way.

You're not need to convince me.

But you'll have to look to him.

There'll be stone clouds there, eh?

I can't. I can't take properly, not now.

I woke up with a sprullion.

He wasn't there.

I knew you and he didn't always see eye to eye, but he was a fair man.

A good man.

I miss him.

I'm going to come in anyway.

Oh, you're up there.

Get off me!

Cut him, buddy!

Couldn't help it. You think I wanted it?

I give warning enough. You heard me.

He was a friend you could have looked to him, Mr. Verthallens. Oh, don't blame me.

If you let him go down, him must have swimmed like an otter.

You let him drown.

You hold your noise, Mr. Verthallens.

You're it with me, Verthallens. You're a mate.

You knew what you were going to be.

What were you paid for?

You can have the money.

I want my friend alive again.

You lost him.

I lost his ship.

When you set that charge to the boiler, you should have warned me sooner.

I have Denny's mover. I like still your tongue.

What's your name?

I need him.

There was a favour, Dan.

Oh, oh. Well?

It's the Indian Queen.

She went down with a cargo of copper sheets, a lot of it.

It's not by a lot.

It's books and sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's not by a lot.

Books and sorry.

Not to lift it.

Just to check it.

Now, the man who bought and insured this cargo is known to my principles.

That's why they're on it so soon.

I assume this is between us two.

Well, he's a businessman.

His name is Lily.

He had a factory making iron pipes, all sorts.

Five years ago, that was burned down.

He was a rich man.

Then he was burgled, lost 15,000 pounds worth of silver.

So he said.

Did they pay you?

Of course they did.

And now, it's the Indian Queen.

Combs and threes?

Trouble.

My principles are not prepared to accept the loss.

Not without checking first.

Well, an overinsured cargo in an overinsured ship.

It's been done before.

Will you help me?

Well, let's ask some questions.

Use your percentage of the cargo.

Well, I'll try and keep it as reasonable as possible.

And discreet.

I'll try.

You're going to take her to do business with you.

Captain's name is Barry.

Hi.

Very old man, I believe.

You'll find his name on some of these manifests and bills of lady.

Of course your principles face quite a high bill if this is square and above board.

Oh, and I will need to hire a diver.

Well, I didn't expect you to swim down yourself.

Now, there is one other thing.

This man, Lily, is a client of a Liverpool banker.

Name of Beaumont.

He might be of use to.

I'm sure that Samuel thinks that I made Robert put that final clause in the will.

But Robert did it for his own good.

Robert always knew best.

See?

Letting Mrs. McGarkey is here and she says she must be here.

I wish you were supposed to come in and you sit there.

Now you drink your tea and welcome.

Mrs. McGarkey, do come in.

I'm not taking your time up, Mrs.

Not for long anyway.

Excuse me.

Sarah, this is Mrs. McGarkey.

She helps me with the sack mending.

In fact, she's my right arm.

And likely it'll get cut off the way things are going down there.

You've not been coming down much.

You've been so busy up here, no doubt.

I have been busy, yes.

But we've not been down there.

There's not enough work for a girl to carry on and you with 30 women set on and no work to speak of.

The last daughter, I mean ten days back.

Don't worth nothing new.

And are sitting there with idle hands.

Been stirring the pot down there.

Idle hands and that means trouble.

And if you don't bring us in the work, then we shall be at each other's throats and yours too like is not.

Are you threatening me, Mrs. McGarkey?

I'm telling you we're only earning when we're working.

Promise work.

And a fair rate for each sack's own.

And I'm telling you there's no work.

I'll find something.

Tell them I'll find something and they'll be kept on.

You can tell them that too.

Captain Banks, yes sir.

I want you to get the ship ready to sail.

Oh and we'll need smith-ass.

What for? Just get them for me.

Tell him to bring his diving gear, tell him it's a deep water job and tell him that the job is paid well.

Oh uh, another thing.

I want you to find a Captain Barry for me.

Never for man.

Captain of the Indian Queen.

She's down 30 faffes.

Right, some gossip, apparently.

Oh forget the cocks.

Just fine.

Anything else?

Nothing else.

Right, you heard Mr. Aladdin?

Come on, Stoljip.

Safely. Make ready for sea.

Lily.

All right.

Oh, been off at this cargo by our third party.

Now this Mr. Lily, banks with Mr. Beaumont and I wondered if you'd done any business.

Is a respected man in Manchester, I understand.

So you have done business with him?

In a way.

Oh, ship to dinner?

Can't be very happy otherwise why I come to us?

No, no, I've not shipped for him.

No, but you have done business, eh?

Well, have you?

I've bought into a cargo, that's all.

Oh, dear, dear.

Now there's nothing wrong with that uncle.

Oh, no.

Not so long as it's profitable.

So, um, this Mr. Lily, he's straight, eh?

Hi.

Good.

Well, thank you.

Good day.

By the way, your mother does know.

How about the cargo?

Damn.

Hi, you're the only man in Manchester.

She's got the only bank today.

Quiet.

Quiet, the two of you.

Be a both-beow.

It's Delly on captain.

It's all afternoon and all night ago yet.

Hi, dear old mister.

Bring me telepump.

He'll be roaring drunk for six and dead drunk with ten poor old L.

Don't serve him then.

I need his medicine.

Just lost his ship.

Be his last most likely.

The Indian Queen, you know what captain?

You!

Mr.!

You mind your tongue?

Talk to you about a man behind his back.

Why are you looking at mister?

I'm taking a drink.

All right.

And on the right to take a drink.

Be me a little.

Of course you have captain.

And I'll buy you another.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh, take him.

Drink for the captain.

I'm sorry about your father, my boy.

Yes, sir.

It's a man of quality.

It's a great loss.

Kind of you to say so.

So please do sit down.

Thank you.

And he had vision.

He considered things made up his mind and then concluded the business with speed.

I like that in a man.

Yes, sir.

And he was no believer in sentiment either.

Now you're aware, of course, that he and I had an agreement.

That, am I, sir?

I was to purchase a share in a mill and he was to take the other share.

Now the store will benefit handsomely from the arrangement.

I would have benefited, sir.

I'm sorry.

Now the paper's actually been signed.

Well, I've signed my father.

To purchase the mill.

Yes, I understand that, but my father did not sign his part.

Yes, but your father...

Yes, but my father's dead, sir.

And death changes a number of things.

You see, I cannot be held to personal agreements made between my father and yourself.

Well, then you've learnt to learn, Samuel.

The agreement was good for both parties. The profit was fair.

Damn it, I've already purchased the mill.

Then I trust it brings you profit, sir.

You've inherited something more than his department store.

He's bequeathed you his direct manner, too.

Yes, I'm not a child, Sir Daniel. We both knew my father.

Yes.

Well, then it seems we've reached an ampass.

I could perhaps help you out of your difficulty.

Good, you, Samuel.

Yes.

I intend to retail through the postal trade.

Advertise goods for sale in leading magazines and newspapers.

It works in America.

And we now have an excellent postal system for parcels far better than theirs.

You see, in America, huge catalogues go out from these stores in New York and Boston and so on, right across the country.

And people buy New York goods as far away as California.

Well, I intend to do the same through catalogues such as this.

And you can help me out.

Your mills can provide cotton sheeting.

Now, Mrs. And Eden has women working for her at the moment.

30, I think, at the present time.

And she needs work for those women.

They'll make up your cotton into sheets and pillowcases and so on.

And I'll advertise them with the slogan direct from the warehouse.

Yes, but does let him know of this.

No, not yet, but can you supply?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

My prices, of course.

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Then I'll give elsewhere, sir.

You're a cool customer for ones of young.

I, uh, think you'll find these prices to your satisfaction, my boy.

Not asleep yet, Samuel.

You see, uh, your printer happens to be a member of my club.

Good morning.

Jay, it's so nice to see you.

Oh, there's a buzzet.

Well, well, well.

Oh, I never thought to see the day.

How big a part?

You, sorry.

Here are most tell letters.

It will, please, sir.

You've come on business.

There.

You see.

I pass by hoping for a nice warm welcome and immediate literacy.

Assume that I'm here on business.

You ought to be a man.

That's not what Daniel says.

Oh, well, I suppose he would now.

You happy?

Why not?

No reason.

James, what reason?

Well, if you don't know, then you can't concern it.

Oh, you really can be so maddening sometimes.

Now, what is it?

Noting.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting there,

making pretty little things like this.

What fine ladle?

James, what are you talking about?

Now, stop doing that and tell me.

James.

Well, it's, um, it's always the same with these insurers, isn't it?

It takes so long to pay up, don't they?

Well, you would know better than I.

I admit it, my due.

With this insurance claim that you're pressing,

you'll find the same.

Yes, I suppose so.

Mind you, with the businessman of the reputation of Mr. Lily's,

I shouldn't think of it.

Mind you, with the businessman of the reputation of Mr. Lily's,

I shouldn't think of the reason to worry.

Daniel's no fool, is he?

Mind you, new face on the horizon, doesn't he?

Watching us, Daniel, and will tell you.

Yes, I suppose so.

When I spoke to William about it, he seemed very vague.

Still, there's no concern of mine, as long as you're happy.

D, tell me all you know.

Oh, dear, I, uh, only confirmed this morning,

Master William bought into part of their cargo of a ship.

Oh, sheet metal, it was. It went down.

Well, you may recall the Indian Queen went down two or three nights back.

The ship and cargo lost.

Bought? With what?

Well, you did agree he should have a certain number of checks

for the day-to-day expenses of the office, I suppose.

Indeed, I now know he used one of them.

Without your knowledge?

At the time, yes, madam.

You landed that lad in trouble, sir.

He's too big for his boots by after that lad.

Still, I expect Sister Earl has a puttle cut him down to size, eh?

Now, did you find Smith-eust?

He's on board, sir.

Uh, and Barry?

Oh, y'all, he moves her. He's drinking himself stupid.

How tall did that jack go?

Fit are ya?

I'm fit in over here.

Captain Baines here doesn't seem overjoyed to have me aboard.

He was meant to swim beneath the sea.

You good lord, and give me a gill.

Oh.

Have you got everything in here?

Yes.

Some says the Indian Queen were to be people.

Is that right?

You said a quick return, Josiah.

So it would have been if the cargo hadn't gone to the bottom of the sea?

Barry, a cargo for him, that's all.

The devil he has.

Mr. Lilly said nothing of it to me.

Perhaps he felt it wouldn't interest you.

But why is he asking a leadin' to California? Why not you?

After all, it would be small recompense for your loss.

That is to say your temporary loss.

Yes.

This is does seem straight.

Find out, William.

Use your family connections.

Someone will know.

My uncle plays a close game.

I want to know.

If you find anything, I'll be at the club tonight.

You'd best come along and see me there.

I'm dining with Mr. Lilly, and I want to know where I stand.

Find out.

You want a cup?

All right.

You're the life ahead of you.

I'm an old man, Captain.

You're the life ahead of you.

I'm an old man, Captain.

You're the life ahead of you.

You're the life ahead of you.

Where's my uncle?

You love your ships, Captain.

Yes, I do.

Once around the on.

Foila Blue, and she went down underneath Captain and Eden.

You ever lost a ship?

Yeah.

You?

Yes.

You're a boiler blue?

This turn, business now!

Oh, business!

Prophet, can be down to them as gets it for them.

You can hand to the ship, so he's in, then.

Send, er, and Captain.

They don't think of they.

They don't see what you and I see to them.

And they leans to the weather.

Half acre of sail, kite as drums in the wind.

Water under the bow, isn't fast.

Do they see that?

You see it, I do eaters.

Not them.

They see you's...

Crab brighten and I'll let you.

Prophet, lost.

How far off were you when you went down, Captain?

And a mile, I'd say, of Chroma's head.

I could stop.

Chroma's head?

North or South?

You're a West.

I've got no eggs that bear and nothing too fast.

I was doing maybe ten knots when she blew.

If she was old, Indian Queen, I loved it too.

A mile of chroma's head.

No more exact than that, I...

You in salvage, are you?

You let a lion piece.

I ate salvage men, vouchers.

I thought you was a seamen on a scavenger.

I'm as much a deep seamen as you are.

Don't tell me all, mister.

Holy shit, Bible.

I'm not a grown man.

No.

Yes.

I'm a grown man.

No.

Yes.

A car.

Could be a bit out.

Metal hold ship.

Compa's not adjusted properly.

Well, if she went down here, well, it says it did.

It will not be easy, James.

I know.

We've got the highest spring tides.

A bit of a miracle if the ship is only in one piece, you know.

Only one way to find out.

Mr. Gorn, look.

Well, you're done.

I'll try it, yes.

Good.

James?

No.

Look, you see this lining was taking.

Now, if it had kept on that course,

it had gone over one shore after another.

Maybe it didn't intend to bring up.

Now it can be made of way.

There he is without a penalty to his name.

Somebody offers him a nest egg.

Oh, it's a temptation.

How long is he going to be?

How long is he going to be?

Tell us when he's ready.

Ah, money.

You knew that when you were given those signed checks,

you knew what they were for.

Day to day affairs of the office.

You knew that and you knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You knew that.

You used it.

Dishonously.

You bought a cargo.

No word to me.

No word to your father.

Do I run the office or do I not?

Don't you dare take that tone with me.

Elizabeth.

What was a cargo, William?

A copper sheet.

For a quick return.

Yes.

For your pocket.

Well, at least you have the grace not to deny it.

Well, why should I?

It was my risk, my judgment.

And company money.

It will be paid back.

Always providing the insurers will pay up.

Well, Mr. Beaumont assures me they will.

They might take a little time, that's all.

Mr. Beaumont may have assets to cover his losses.

You have nothing.

Have you been to the exchange today, William?

No.

No.

Well, this morning there was a whisper that the Indian Queen was being investigated.

That salvage association had been called in to check.

Now, you had James O'Nida in your office this morning.

He was here too, Daniel, but he said nothing.

One of his ships sailed this afternoon.

It was carrying a diver.

Now what do you think, William?

The ship sank and the cargo was lost.

That's all there is to it.

You're providing? It was all above board, yes.

But if that transaction was in any way illegal, they will not pay.

And you will have lost a great deal more than the money.

The trust of the insurance company, William.

Sir, I assure you it was not illegal.

Well, I hope for your sake, you're right.

And now if you'll excuse us, your mother and I have business to discuss.

All right.

All in all.

Don't stop pumping.

Jimmy.

Stop pumping.

James!

There's nothing down there.

No debris.

There's no sign of any ship.

No were wrong, James.

Or rather, Captain that is.

Are you sure?

He said the boilers blew and the abandoned ship.

That means they went down fast.

Now there'd be signs on the seabed. Things scattered about but there's nothing.

Nothing at all.

He's lying.

Damn.

I'll be asking Captain Baddie a question or two when we get ashore.

And he'll tell me.

Old man or no.

Oh, I'm bummed.

You have to answer my question, Mr. Lilly.

Why give a cargo to the Anita line?

I haven't answered my dear Bowman for the simple reason that there is no answer.

I don't understand.

There is no cargo for this unneeded. Never was, never will be.

Why did he suggest there was?

I'm afraid I'd have no idea. Is he drumming up work?

Perhaps I was doing some shipping. It's happened.

Or fool him.

He's no fool, I can assure you.

He's dangerous to cross.

As I am, Mr. Bowman.

Well, you best find out. You have the contacts.

They are introducing you to Mr. Lilly.

How did he sit?

Do sit down, Mr. Fraser. Join at him.

We have something to eat. A glass of wine.

No, nothing to eat, thank you, sir.

We were discussing your uncle.

Oned him.

He sailed this afternoon carrying a diver.

My father was in the exchange this morning. They started about the Indian Queen.

Daltcha?

A cup of sheets were never a border.

I'm sorry.

The cup of sheets were never a border.

Yes.

I know what the manifest says, but then Captain Barrie had to earn his retirement.

So he took charge of that little matter.

The cup of sheets will be sold into your course.

And the insurance?

Oh, there.

Well, we will, of course, collect that as well.

And the insurance on the shepherd course.

It's not uncommon practice and no one loses except the insurance company.

Oh, nothing to do with it.

Of course.

Ha ha ha ha.

Should you read a word, my young friend?

You'll find your tide to me, hook, line and sinker.

I've your name to papers, bills of lading and a phrase of check.

You're in with me.

So are you, Beaumont.

Up to your necks.

I'm sorry, will you?

But, come, friends, why the long faces?

Your Mac money, we all will.

So drink up and enjoy the night.

And if an Eden finds anything, you'll find nothing.

The crew have gone and now the captain's gone.

There's no one to ask. There's nothing to find.

Of course.

You could talk to your uncle.

This way, need to let sleep in ships live.

I will not talk to him.

Point out, there's nothing to take.

For be assured, boy.

I have you by the throat.

Geeze, I want to talk about it.

And I don't, anyway, now's not the time, letty.

I'm an orate.

But you're always in a hurry and I won't be satisfied with it.

Look, James, what I'm saying is that I'm not young.

And I want your child before I'm too old to enjoy it.

Well, at least, at least let's talk about it.

I should not now let you, and I meant it.

Oh, Luke, we're up as we are.

In other words, my interests don't concern you.

You want everything your way.

Letty.

I thought you said you were in a hurry.

Don't let me keep you. I'm sure you've got more important business.

I'm meeting a Mr. Buxton.

Tell him I'll meet him on purpose.

James.

James, I'm sorry if I upset you.

Letty.

Give it time, man.

Just... well, not yet.

Hey.

Well, there's a man that insists on seeing you.

That could be Mr. Buxton.

We'll show him, and, Charlotte.

It's a little good, I must say. I must say.

No, Luke, devil are you.

I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, sir.

Oh, Mom, you forgive me.

You don't mind, sir?

Oh, do, Mom. What do you want?

What would you say if I was to tell you I was the first mate on the Indian Queen?

Letty, if you'll excuse us, please.

Go on.

And if I was to tell you you're wasting your time by listening to Captain Barry, who's only after you.

I'm sorry, Captain Barry, who's only after telling fairy stories to cover himself.

What would you say to that?

I'd say you was wasting your time, because I know that already.

Well, then, tell me, tell you this, and I had a mate went down with that shit.

Danny.

A good mate to me and a cousin.

Been with a wife and kids back in Crookhaven.

And him dead because that loin Captain tells me he would be safe and sound.

You mean Captain Barry?

I did, he's scuttled out.

I'll not say a word of that, mister.

You're salvaging her.

I want Danny off me conscience.

I want a word or two set over him to make it right.

Where did she go down?

I took the time.

What do you mean?

Well, after I tied to Madison, I'll not go down.

That conned and could sweep me into the deep.

Don't banks make ready, can you?

You won't be needing me alive.

If you just put this over the side when you come to the spot, please.

You will be staying with us.

Thank you very much, very much.

Open James.

Get you.

Open James.

Open James.

Open James.

I have to talk to you.

Hello, time.

Are we set?

Are you sure this is the right place?

As far as I can tell, when the boiler went up, there was a bit of a panic to tell the truth.

I'm sure the world.

How long has he stayed out there?

And I don't like it to tell the truth.

He can come out and rung out.

Arag!

Hey, it's a dangerous game.

Hey, you there!

Keep pumping.

He's lice on the end of that line.

Shall I let your father's ward?

He doesn't want you to go on, see, he doesn't care what I want.

He just thinks about himself.

Your father?

I wish you'd speak to him, Lettie.

Why shouldn't I see, will you?

You know as well as I do, why not?

Your father says you're not to marry him and there's an end to it.

Oh, yes, you do.

Why should he?

You do.

Why should he?

Why should he?

I don't like it.

Well, you, you don't like it.

No.

Why shouldn't I do?

Why not?

Your father says you're not to marry him and there's an end to it.

Oh, Lettie, you're no help at all.

Charlotte!

Well, Jack, who?

Well...

Take your time.

Look, she's down there riding up.

But there's nothing storing that I can see here.

Are you sure about that?

Well, I've checked by a camber.

She's lying at an angle so I couldn't see all of her.

You said the boiler burst and she went down fast.

That means she must be hold.

So, Bogsten.

Go on, Jack, go.

I went down into the after hold.

The sea cocks.

That opened.

Well, quite clearly she was scuttled.

One of you got to say to that Fitzgerald.

Was cut and buried.

I've got to know if those copper sheets are still down there.

You must go down again.

No.

I'll pay you.

That ship is lying on the edge of a deep.

Now, that's a cliff in the sea bed.

If she tips, she's got a...

Fifty feet.

Fifty guineas.

And a hundred for the wife of her dying it.

Done.

I'm now here now!

Only he's only just gone down.

Look, he's an experienced diver, and he's risking his act for you.

He agreed to go down there into the hold.

Time is running out. I've got to know.

Right? Well?

James, there's air coming from the Fox and Inspection hatch.

Bobbles in the air.

No, I need a weighted line and a crowbar to open there.

Here.

I've done his anywhere, isn't that folks?
