All language subtitles for The Onedin Line S08E04 The Honeymoon

The Dutch have caught fire just after leaving Liverpool.

So, there's a path for us to carry her cargo to the East Indies.

She is very clever, is it there, Les?

Oh, I, she was scuttling us first down to the age, and while the competitors were still watching the snow go up...

I think she does not like me.

Oh, yes, she will, too.

You heard something to ask me.

Oh, yes.

How would you feel if instead of going to Salton for a whole new home we went to Sumatra?

Salcom, Sumatra, for the ends of the world.

All I want is that we are together.

But she knows nothing at all in the business world.

Life doesn't need to understand her husband's business.

Indeed, it's all too good if she doesn't.

She's better able to take his mind off his work when he gets over an evening.

Oh, I think she'll be able to do that well enough.

Oh, yes, indeed. The Spanish are well noted for their...

...their fiery natures, you mean?

Something like that, yes.

But the Spanish don't have a monopoly in fiery natures, you know.

Far from it.

Well, I don't like her in her never shall.

And don't ask me why, because I don't know. It's just instinct.

Her insistence on calling me Isabel doesn't help matters.

Perhaps she finds Elizabeth difficult to say.

Don't be ridiculous.

Well, they do pronounce their words differently.

After all, Isabel is the Spanish equivalent, as she explained.

The way she says it to her in those soft, liquid tones.

Yes, I must say, Isabel does sound too attractive.

Not to my ears, it does it.

Anyway, she's much too young for James. She's old enough to be her father.

I must say, I wouldn't think so. She ain't meant to go...

Oh, it's the old story.

Oh? The grieving widow are losing his head over the first pretty face that looks his way.

Oh, come now. Uncle James is so level-headed.

They're not only unsuited in years, but in temperament in outlook, Indian.

Religion?

Well, can you think of anything more ridiculous, the bride and groom in church and us waiting here?

To tell you the truth, Aunt Elizabeth, I thought it admirably tactful of Uncle James not to ask us to attend the ceremony.

It makes his bride feel less conscious of the fact that none of her family were able to be present.

And of course, at the same time, it's absolved us from any discomfort we may have felt in having to witness it.

Catholic setup.

You're determined to be difficult.

I'm sorry, Aunt. That wasn't meaning to me.

Captain Binks!

Captain Binks, when I was a soldier.

Haven't finished long, do you?

Yes, my lady, but I haven't signed a full crew yet, so I shan't be able to stay long.

Oh, well, James won't have had time to tell you, I'm sure, but he's decided to sail with you.

What on his honeymoon?

Here we are.

This is your home.

That's just guests.

Congratulations, thank you.

My party is congratulations.

Thank you, son.

Congratulations to you too, my grater.

I suppose I should call you Aunt.

Well, I hope not.

Well, I hope you and Uncle James will be very happy together.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Congratulations, James.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

My congratulations to you, Margarita.

Thank you, Isabel.

If you would both kindly excuse me.

I'm sorry, it's such a petty thing I know, but when she calls me, Isabel...

She calls you, Isabel.

No, please, Samuel has explained about the pronunciation being different,

and that Isabel is the Spanish equivalent.

Isabel, what's her mother's name?

No, I didn't know that.

That's no reason why she can't call me by my proper name.

Ever since we've come home.

I think it's time you paid Daniel a visit.

No, it's like a look after things a year.

And what about the East Indies, venture?

Yeah, like a way.

Big car?

Wait, you said yourself.

The only way to pay back our debts is to find this new trade,

and there are some fine car goes in those Java ports.

And the Dutch have fought hard for those car goes.

They're not going to give up that trade that easily.

Well, you're not going to let a few Dutch-controlled ports stand in our way, surely?

We need to get car goes in and out of those ports to make the whole venture worthwhile.

You said you'd find a way.

Right.

So far I haven't.

I think I'm beginning to understand.

Hmm, understand what?

Why you want to pack me off to Turkey?

You want to make me the excuse for you not sailing to the East Indies,

and I know the reason.

She doesn't want to go.

She does want to go.

Sokamosomatra, or the ends of the world, she said.

So long as we're together.

I should have known that would be her attitude.

What?

That's right.

That's right.

Able Seaman kettle cup.

It's difficult and discharged.

Certificate of discharge?

Yes.

It's given to a Seaman at the end of a voyage,

and he has to present it to his next master.

Character for ability?

Very good.

Character for conduct?

Fair?

Well, may it drove us hard last trip.

Or bit aced with me ends now and again.

But there's not a mutinous bone in either one.

All right.

Sign here.

Next man.

Jack Avery.

What I had the East Indies in mind, what are you doing?

Take pardon, Captain?

You don't want to tell me how to run my ship,

but I had to treat my crew.

I thought you might want to tell me where I'd be sailing as well.

Is he a bad Seaman?

No.

No, so it'd be good.

Well, he is a union leader.

Well, he fights for better wages and conditions for the Seaman, you see.

You'll find another master who doesn't know you.

The one who does and doesn't mind cutting his own fruit for the hoiage is that.

Next man.

I'll read to snatch the bread from the molds of his family,

simply because he puts his fellow men before himself.

The captain signs on the crew.

But you are the owner, James.

I thought you would be more jealous.

Jack Avery!

Thanks.

I'd like you to reconsider your decision.

He's got more blood on his hands than all the murders were ever skipped.

Why sign on a troublemaker like Tiro when there's plenty of other vulsions to be had?

Master signs his crew, leaseways he's supposed to. Any trouble from Jack Avery and Tiro eat him raw?

You can give the Seaman another job.

Eh?

Well, making a canvas coffin.

Every voyage that the tiger makes, there's a death on board.

Yeah.

There's just talk. I mean, there's nothing ever been proved against.

No, that's because the master's always on his side.

As this one will be.

You are coming to bed.

Yes, I am.

But I thought you were. How do they say it? On what?

On my wedding night.

Well, that's what they said.

Said it.

The owner is always on watch until four bells. I heard the men talking on deck.

Don't I ask Captain Baines what four bells meant? He said two o'clock in the morning.

What are you smiling at?

Well, I think you've had your first taste of Seaman's humor.

What?

You mean they intended me to overhear them?

Well, I do not think it is something to smile at.

Well, I'll have a sharp word to say to them tomorrow.

The English humor. You will have to help me to understand it.

You do not regret.

Break it ahead.

Marrying with me.

It's not marrying with me. It's just marrying me.

More humor?

If you were to ask me that in five years' time, I would have understood it.

But to ask me, do I regret marrying you?

In ten hours after leaving the church.

You know what I mean.

Do I?

Did you consider it well enough before you asked me?

Ten months. That is all.

You've been listening to Liverpool Tom's wedding.

Yes, but I didn't need to.

The question was already in my own mind. If I was right for you.

Why do I tell now to bring it up?

I was afraid I might lose you. I loved you so much.

And I wanted you to be mine.

Was that so very wrong of me?

No, no, no.

I loved you very much, Dad.

You mentioned the storage of cargoes in Singapore.

A warehousing, as we all know, can be an expensive item.

Yes, well, I suggest it to my brother that we buy two ships.

Buy two ships, my lady.

May I take this opportunity of reminding you that we are sorely in debt?

And might I remind you, Mr. Dawkins, that the whole purpose of this venture is to repay our debts.

Now, the two ships we have...

And to overcome the problem?

He does have a scheme in hand, yes.

Whether or not it will come to fruition remains to be seen.

My lady, my task, where are we able to get the money for the cost of all this?

Of course you may ask.

I'm sure Mr. Anita dealt with that matter before he sailed.

Yes, he did.

He left it to me to find the money.

How much has James told you about his plans for opening up new trade in East Indies?

Only that it might not come to anything at all.

Something about the difficulties of getting in and out of the ports under Dutch control.

Yes, well, a little problem like that won't stand in James this way, of course.

Well, that's true.

Aunt Elizabeth, I don't wish to be rude, but I shall have to go soon.

So if you could just tell me what it was you wanted to speak to me about.

Goodness sake, don't look at it again.

I'm sorry.

James and I have decided to set up a new company to deal with this new trade.

Can you see the chart from there?

We need to buy two ships, two hulks, that is, for warehousing in Singapore.

Singapore is just here.

Yes, my geography isn't that bad.

So I assume you want to borrow the money from me for all this.

I'm sorry, it does seem to be coming rather a habit, doesn't it?

I hadn't worked out the figures until this evening.

With the setting up of the new company, the cost of the two hulks and other incidentals,

we shall need 20,000 pounds.

That's not asking too much then.

You could hardly do it for less, I can't see that.

Oh, well, you're willing to lend us the money then.

Well, I'm willing, yes, but I'm not in a position to be able to lend it to you.

Not in a position?

No, not until this impending strike at my mills is settled one way or the other.

You said nothing to me about a strike?

No, you didn't give me a chance.

You were so anxious that we should talk here.

Well, what am I going to do?

James is depending on me to find that money and to set up the company while he's making the voyage.

Well, I must go.

I'm sorry about the money.

Good night, aunt.

Good night, Samuel.

The owner's wife, eh?

You take out your father, a lazy, clever-tonned womanizer.

He told me about the likes of you.

How he suffered at your hands.

I see.

Looking for avenge, are we?

My father relieved his own sufferings by making us suffer.

My mother remained.

He died three weeks ago.

I didn't shut a tear for him.

So I won't be looking to shed any blood for him, now will I?

Sorry to disappoint you, Tiger.

He lays into me like that.

I'll kill him.

Is the dispute settled there?

Yes, thank goodness.

So will you be able to lend us the money or not?

I think I might be able to, yes.

Right?

This new company you're forming.

It is a very charming garden, Mr. Wonder

My father was very fond of gardening.

Now my brother, dear darling, looks after it, when he's not pouring over the company's

legends.

So your father found it as shipping company?

Yes, and he lived in this house with my mother.

Dear darling, I was both born here and we've lived here ever since.

It is very kind of you to entertain us like this.

It was my brother's thought.

When we heard from our agent at Liverpool that Mr. Onlydin's sister, Lady Fogarty, that she

had taken the trouble to visit the injured scene and from our ship, the least we could do

in return was to entertain you on your arrival here.

Or you will have some more coffee, I'm sure.

Thank you, Mr. Wonder, Edder.

Oh, please.

We have known each other almost three hours.

Please, call me Max.

Very well, Max.

And you are...

Margarita.

Margarita.

How it suits you?

Please.

You were born in Spain?

No.

In South America.

In Gallauda.

My father was the president.

Until three months ago.

He was killed by rebels.

I sense the tragedy.

Strange is it not.

Our tragedy sits upon us like a halo for all to see.

My parents died when I was ten years old.

Theored was almost four.

My father had taken my mother's sailing.

A rare event.

My mother was not fond of the sea.

It frightened her.

The storm came up.

The boat overturned.

They were both drowned out there in the bay.

Thank you.

Why, after all these years, am I still not married?

You're now sitting here like this with a beautiful woman.

It's the only time that I am truly content.

And yet?

What about Theodore?

Is he mad?

Theodore.

What's Theodore?

Women frighten him to death.

And yet he falls in love with every woman that he meets.

It's true, I tell you.

He's already in love with you and he has known you only three hours.

Max, I don't believe you.

Then watch him.

The way he looks at you.

The way he doesn't look at you.

You are longing to be unloaded and setting sail for Liverpool.

Are you not?

I mean, only as a bride, you must be longing to settle into your new home.

Yes, I am.

But we shall not be sailing for several weeks.

James has some business here.

Ah, here comes Theodore.

Ah, just see how much he admires you.

Oh, idea.

Oh.

Thank you, Theodore.

There.

Yes, it is a splendid view, is it not?

Of course, we have become used to it,

and so we do not appreciate it as much as we should.

Oh, Captain Baines, have a cigar.

Oh, thank you.

Mr. Anilin?

Oh, thank you.

Your brother is telling us of it,

that collision in Singapore.

Yes, I'm afraid that involved us in some very costly and weary some legal proceedings.

And then, just four months ago, we lost our newest and most expensive steamer ship in a storm.

I must tell you, Mr. Anilin, that when I heard the news from Liverpool,

that our other ship had caught fire, I cursed the whole shipping world

in which that my father had never gone into it.

With a special curse, no doubt, for those ship owners who would benefit from such a calamity.

Indeed. But then, of course, had I been in your place,

I would have done the same thing.

Had I been that much in need of a cargo?

But then, perhaps it was not just the need of that one cargo so much as the opportunity it afforded.

I am here looking for new trade.

Captain Bey, you would have some coffee.

Oh, thank you.

I must compliment you on your cigars.

I don't think I've tasted fine at a back.

It comes from the north.

The island.

I take contact with these growers for many years now.

We ship it all over the world.

We used to charge them an especially low freight rate in order to avoid competition.

Used to?

I mean, you've had to increase your rates.

I'm afraid so.

Since losing the case over the collision and then finding our self-face with the enormous costs of it

and losing two of our larger ships, I...

Can I... Can I suggest...

That is...

May I offer you the use of our carriage tomorrow?

That you may look at the places of interest?

Well, that's very kind of you, Mr. Van der Rieder.

Very kind.

We would be delighted to accept.

I could, if you wish.

Act as guide.

Thank you.

Good night, sir.

Thank you, crab.

Poor Theodore.

He is just like a small boy.

Did you tell your about his mother and father?

No. No, he did not.

He was up to.

He did say he'd heard from his agent in Liverpool.

He told him no doubt that when we ship sailed, the owner was aboard.

He knew about Isabel visiting the injured seaman from his ship.

And he was anxious to know how long would we be staying here.

If Max could solve his financial problems by sinking me, he wouldn't hesitate either.

I see.

And so tomorrow, while Captain Baines and I are being shown around the island in his carriage,

Hugh will be bidding for their tobacco contract.

Look, Margarita.

I reckon Max and I have had the same ups and downs.

You sinkers today, we pop up again tomorrow?

I know.

But it's not Max I'm concerned for.

It's Theodore.

Oh, sorry for that.

There's nothing to report, Cam.

No.

You have a good day there, Dutchy, zest?

Mr. Vander Rader.

Sorry, Cam.

And too nice a gentleman you couldn't meet.

One of them was promised to show us places of interest tomorrow.

Good news, is it?

It could be.

Mm.

Next quarter day, now let's see a week one load, and then I need a fast passage home.

Eleven weeks.

Now do you think we could do it in eleven weeks, Tom?

Why the army?

We might.

With the help of Tiger's Ropes End.

It depends on this new trade that Mr. and Eden stack now.

Now we never told me anything about it.

One no trade.

How long is it going to take now?

That's the question.

Mr. O'Nedin.

Oh, Vander Rader, I called at your office, but your head left.

What was it you wanted?

I came because I thought it only right and proper to tell you.

But I had a meeting with the tobacco growers this morning.

That's most considered.

Then I undercut your rate by two shillings at home.

And they told you that they would consider your offer.

Did you really expect them to cast aside so many years of a trusting relationship with an old established firm to take their chance with a total stranger?

And for what?

Just for the sake of a few shillings?

Why aren't we?

You were there this afternoon and had to undercut my rate by another six-pence at home.

If it's a rate-cutting war you want to need him, we can give you one.

Your company is in no position to risk carrying that tobacco at a loss.

Neither is yours.

I know all about your company's debts, O'Nedin.

So don't try to bluff me. It won't work.

Max!

Oh, oh. Good evening.

I've just taken...

Mrs. O'Nedin and kept him burnt, spacked to your ship.

Thank you, sir.

I met one of the growers.

Oh, God. Just half an hour ago.

Well, what is it?

A contract for hour to back...

How much of it have you taken?

Oh, I have left you, son.

And how much are you carrying it for?

Same rate as you, 78 and 6 months at home.

If you didn't undercut me, how did you get this contract?

It seems most of the growers are sort of field workers.

Oh, and what have you promised them?

I promised them all the field workers that they needed.

From Singapore.

You see, I take their tobacco to Singapore, where I store it in my warehouses, in readiness, for my steamers to carry it to England.

And then I carry the field workers on the return trip.

Free of charge?

Ah.

You fool. You'll be roamed.

Oh, I don't think so. They will earn their passage.

You see, before they sail, they help me unload the tobacco in Singapore.

And then on the return trip, once in Sumatra, they help me load my next cargo.

A good buy, Max.

Is there a door?

Mmm.

Damn, the growers.

I mean, grasping.

We'll send our ships down to Java ports.

A needing won't be able to undercut us there.

His ships can't get in and out of those ports. They're under Dutch control.

I still don't see how Uncle James is going to compete with the Dutch in Java.

They fought for centuries for the trade in those ports. They're not just going to hand it all over to James and Eden.

Not all of it, no.

Well, you know what I mean. Some of it, then.

I think perhaps I'd better explain.

Well, it's about jolly well time you did, aren't?

Well, the company's only just been registered, do you understand?

Well, I don't see what difference that makes to Uncle James getting in and out of the Dutch control ports.

Oh, it does. It makes all the difference.

You see, the new company is called the Rotterdamo Needin Company.

And that other 40% is owned by Dutch investors.

Uncle James.

Coming devil.

That's one of our ships.

First of the feederships from Liverpool.

She's flying the Dutch flag.

That's right.

It's just registered with our new company.

Bye.

That flag allows us to compete equally with the Dutch, the Java ports.

There'll be a second feeder ship here in a week or two.

When are we leaving for Liverpool? That's what I'd like to know.

In a day or two.

This is a need in of myself for having a little holiday.

It doesn't look as if you're going to be in Liverpool for your whatever it is, Cam.

I'll soon see you at.

Can't wait to be sailing, he both.

No, sir. Right in the counter.

But when we do sail, I want you to drive this crew like no crew has ever been driven before.

And you understand?

I can.

I can. Right.

Damn the man. He undercuts us in every port.

Every cargo we tend before he just happens to edge us out.

Obviously, we are both chasing the most lucrative cargo.

The man has bent on our ruin. What have you got there?

I spent the afternoon bringing the concert to date.

Of course, if it isn't run more alarmingly than I anticipated.

Damn it, Eden! I'm damn you too!

I don't need your figures to tell me what he's doing to us.

If you came to me with some answer to this plunder, a glimmer of an idea,

we could put a stop to his schemes, but you...

You come to me with figures. Just like you used to come to with father.

Remember? No.

How do you suppose you do? You were too young.

Look, father. I can the right from one to ten, how clever I am.

Yes, you've always been very clever with figures, haven't you?

I built up this company and you sat in the office and counted the profits.

And now, when misfortune strikes, and him, damn him, and Eden,

all you can do is sit there and count our losses.

You're a deadweight, my next figure, and you always have been.

Oh, hey, this place is island, this house.

Everything I see here, everything I remember having seen since I was a boy.

I think that I've always hated it all.

Why have I stayed here all my life?

Well, neither has done us a good turn. Do you realize that?

He's not driving us out. He's releasing us!

What do you say?

We have got to leave this place.

Make a fresh start.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it all my life.

You have to leave this place.

Make a fresh start. There is no other answer.

Be this house?

Well, what would you have us do?

Continue to count our losses until there's nothing left?

No.

We'll get out while we still can.

We'll sell this house.

And the office and the warehouses now have how many chips it takes to cover our losses.

And then, God help us, we'll spend our remaining years in summer.

Civilized part of the world.

See?

Here, Lord. Bring those accounts and they'll start to make land.

We're coming up. Let's take full of arms, Lord.

Mr. Boson, all heads to crowd on sale.

Thank you.

I must not leave it alone.

I'll be there.

Come, babe.

To rove, driving him a bit hard, there's trippers.

That's my business.

All hands on deck to make sale.

Curse the deck.

He was just drifting off nicely.

He raises that rope center he just wants more.

I'm off to see the old man.

That'll do you no good.

If you all man and sign him on,

he'll keep you from standing up for his rights.

If that mother's standing up, you've dumped her at this trip.

All hands are set. Get down there.

One more beating for anyone of us.

We do what I says we do.

Kettle, we're not called for all that.

I want you to come running, not crawling.

It's none of my business.

It's up to the master to interfere.

If he thinks his boson is driving the crew too hard.

But James, you are the owner of the ship.

I might be considered to be your owner.

My owner? Because you married me.

I can say you're my, just as I can say Captain Baines is one of my captains.

But he has the right to make his own decisions.

Just as you have the right to make yours.

Yes, I do see him.

You must not interfere.

I'll ask you again, Jackie.

Are you with us in this?

No, I am not a man for violence.

I'm an owner's man, eh?

Ever since his new wife spoke up for you.

What does that mean?

If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be sailing with us, Kursen.

Peculiar won that, ain't it?

Strong union, eh?

Here, by invitation of the oldest wife.

And us having to suffer for it with broken bodies.

And you, Jackie, every, not even willing to help us in the remedy.

It is no remedy, that's why.

Oh, yes, but it will be.

Once I'll beat him so hard he'll not dare raise hands to anyone I'll lose again.

A call for all hands.

And it's all hands you're gonna get, Sargan.

What's the matter with you two?

Altogether, I'll send you now.

Altogether, for what, Kettle?

For this!

So, it seems spiring a mutiny, is it, Kettle?

Well, you know me, I'm not one for tales to the captain.

I'll deal with you, myself.

Thanks to you, Jackie, every...

Hey, Kettle, I think he's dead.

You know that?

You know it is a bill that is stolen.

What's happened now?

You let us down this time, Krabby.

When you'll go over the side, then it's down to it.

We say nothing.

Whatever questions is asked, there'll be not one word for anyone on us.

This time, Jackie, every... I know you'll want to be with us.

I'll ask you again.

What happened?

It's your responsibility.

Right, you deal with it.

A vow of silence to protect Mr. Terrell's murderer.

Chipmach to the very end, they will tell you this much.

The judging caught will be on your side.

He'll help you to an eternity of silence, because they'll have no option but to hang the laddier.

Jack Avery, you're the one who thought up this vow of silence, it's your thought and caper.

The question is now, which one of these others would you be protecting?

Not Krabby.

A doubt your own mother would trouble to protect you, would you, Krabby?

You larson?

No, you'd love up all the punishment Tiger could give you without a murmur of protest.

Right then?

Kettle.

Now, suppose you tell me.

Just how it happened.

The pig is dead?

Sit.

I've never heard of such injustice. How could he possibly know the man was guilty?

He doesn't know.

Doesn't know. And yet he'll look. If that man is hung, it will be my fault.

I'm a porn person.

Stay down.

And there, the man will give you a man the chance to put your organising ability to some useful purpose.

You'll arrange to collect the money and deliver it up regularly, but captain, I'm unturrested.

No doubt, she'll be on the key. When you're passing, you can break the bad news, sir,

and tell her there was no pain. All of a sudden, like he fell from the top.

Captain, go on.

Forgive me, Captain. I should not have been listening.

Excuse me, I have some business to show.

Captain Bains? Yes.

I think you are a man who understands the real meaning of justice.

I doubted your judgment.

I'm not sure.

I hope you will forgive me.

That it wasn't a pleasant voyage for honeymoon.

Goodbye, Ma.

Three puppy!

Margarita?

I'm glad to see you again.

You're looking very well at this, Beth.

I'm so I should.

Due to a little windfall, I've arranged a small celebration dinner for us all this evening.

To welcome you home.

Welcome home, Margarita.

By the way, we have a surprise guest for dinner.

Here's a bell.

How beautiful you look.

Thank you, Margarita.

James.

There's a month.

Max.

Margarita.

On Eden.

And the razor. What brings...

Theodore. Max's brother.

You didn't tell me you had a brother?

No, I didn't. It was very distressing and I saw no reason to tell you of it.

I thought you would have heard before you left for Java, but obviously you didn't.

Oh, and what?

My brother died.

I don't know what to say.

He was such a fine man.
