Dr. Blood.

Dr. Blood!

Who is it?

That we'll
know better

when you've
opened the door.

Me?

My mistake.

After I've
opened the door.

Open it, quick!

Jeremy pitt,
isn't it?

Your friend,
lord gildoy,

wounded at
Andrew baynes' farm.

Rash fool!

He sent me for you.
There's no time to lose.

To be sure, I'll lose none,
nor my head either.

Come regain yours
while I get my things.

I'll wait here.

As you please.

Come, Mrs. Barlow,
help me dress.

Jeremy,

how is the battle?

Battle?

Slaughter,
rather.

What can clubs do
against Cannon?

Mrs. Barlow,

in case this business
keeps me overlong,

take care you water
my geraniums,

especially those
under the bedroom window.

Geraniums.
Won't you ever grow up?

One would think you were
still in medical school!

Geraniums

You would think
of geraniums

when other able-bodied
men are out fighting.

It's out of favor
I seem to be with you,

my vinegary virgin.

Half the town is saying
you're a papist.

Because I have the sense
to sleep this night

instead of rushing to my ruin
in a hopeless attempt

to put this Duke of monmouth
on the throne?

He'd be worse
than king James.

Make haste with that
cloak, my pretty one.

And the other half
that defends you

claims that you're
just a coward.

Mrs. Barlow, you can
tell them, if you like,

that I've been
most anywhere

that fighting
was in evidence.

I've fought for the
French and the Spanish.

I learned me seamanship
in the Dutch Navy.

But having had adventure
enough in 6 years

to last me 6 lives,

I came here,
hung up the sword,

and picked up
the lancet.

Became a man of peace,
not of war

a healer, not a slayer.

That I'm going to be

as long as i'm
on top of the soil

and not under it.

Will you be back
for breakfast?

Who knows, my pretty
one? Who knows?

The worst is done,
my friend.

Give your mind peace.

The king's men!

There's nothing
to fear.

This is
a Christian country.

Christian men don't make
war on the wounded

or those
who shelter them.

I am captain Hobart,
of colonel kirke's dragoons.

What rebels
do you harbor?

No rebels. This
wounded gentleman

no need to ask
how he came by his wounds.

A rebel. Out with him.

This man can't be moved
without peril to his life.

Who the devil
may you be?

Peter blood,
medicinae baccalarius.

Don't fling
your French at me.

Latin, my dull friend.
It means I'm a doctor.

Or a liar.

If your wit were as big
as your voice,

it's the great man
you'd be for this.

You may find me
great enough to hang you.

Faith, yes,
I don't doubt it.

You've the looks and
manners of a hangman.

Take him away,
and the others, too.

In the name of his majesty
our sovereign lord,

prisoners of pardon,
you stand

for having maliciously
and traitorously conspired

to change, alter,
and wholly to subvert

the ancient government
of this kingdom of england.

Therefore, you are charged
with high treason

against the most illustrious
and most excellent

prince James ii,

by the grace of god,

of england, Scotland, France,
and Ireland, king.

Having no fear of god
in your hearts

and being moved
and seduced by the devil,

you have failed

in the love of due obedience
toward the king

and have moved to disturb
the tranquility of the nation

and to stir up war
to depose said king

from title,

honor, and the regal name
of the imperial crown.

Therefore you are here
to be tried

before his majesty's
commissioner,

the lord chief justice
baron jeffreys of wem,

and by a jury
of 12 good men and true.

James haynsworth,
hold up your hand.

Guilty
or not guilty?

Guilty.

Harold carron,
guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Andrew baynes,

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Jeremy pitt,
guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

John wolverstone,
guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Uriah ogle,

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty

Praise the lord.

Henry hagthorpe,
guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Lord Chester dyke,

guilty or not guilty?

Uh, guilty.

Peter blood,

guilty or not guilty?

It's entirely innocent,
I am.

Take the stand
and face his lordship.

Are you guilty
or not guilty?

You must use
the right words.

Words, is it? Oh

Not guilty.

Speaking of words,
I'd like to say a few

about the injustice
of keeping an innocent man

locked up for 3 months

in such filth and heat
and ill feeding

that my chief regret is
I didn't try to pull down

the filthy fellow
that sits on the throne.

Silence!

Are you entirely
ignorant

of the procedure
of the court?

Most happily ignorant
up till now.

I could gladly have
done without this acquaintance.

Jeffreys:
Enough of this.

There is nothing
more to be said,

except the passing
of sentence.

Please, your lordship,
there's a deal more to be said.

Clerk:
Silence!

How now, fellow?

There is the little matter
of my defense.

Oh, very well, then,

but in heaven's name,
be brief, man.

We have much to do.

I am guilty of nothing,
my lord,

unless it be adjudged
a crime

that a man
try to live peaceably.

Living peaceably with
the army of monmouth?

I was arrested while engaging
in my profession as physician.

What's this?
You tell us

you're a doctor,
you rogue?

And as such was summoned
to the aid of lord Gilroy

by Jeremy pitt,
who can testify.

Oh, master pitt
will testify,

he that is himself
a confessed traitor.

That's your witness?

There is also
Andrew baynes.

Master baynes will have
enough testifying

in a useless effort

to keep his own neck
from the halter.

I can bring a hundred
from bridgwater,

the town in which I live.

We've no time
for all this.

If these other traitors
are as stubborn as you,

I may sit here
till the next assizes.

Very well then!

Faith, there's a witness I'll
give you that you can't deny

yourself, sir,

for if I'm no physician, how
is it I know you're a dying man?

The death to which you're
dooming hundreds of men daily

in a frantic effort
to send their souls

to perdition
before your own

is a light pleasantry

compared to the bleeding death
in the lungs

to which the great judge
has condemned you.

Now, fellow, we'll
be done with witnesses,

and I will convict you

out of your own
rascally mouth.

When this pitt
came to summon you,

as you claim,
did you know

you were called to
attend another rebel?

My business was with his
wounds, not his politics.

Did you know
the law

that any person

who does knowingly
receive, harbor,

comfort,
or succor a rebel

is as guilty as if
he himself bore arms?

I only knew my sacred duty
as a physician.

Your sacred duty, rogue,
is to your king.

I thought it was
to my fellow man.

It's a fearful thing

to send a man's soul
to perdition,

but I am bound
by my conscience

and my love of my king

to deal out justice.

Therefore,
I instruct you,

gentlemen of the jury,

that inasmuch as
Peter blood

has admitted aiding
a traitor to your king,

you do bring in
a verdict of guilty,

that he may be hanged

for the high treason
he has committed.

What a creature
must sit on the throne

who lets a man like you
deal out his justice.

Your majesty.

Sunderland,
what brings you here?

These numerous
hangings.

Splendid,
aren't they?

We kill the rebels,
we kill the rebellion.

Very true,
your majesty,

but a foolish waste
of valuable human flesh.

How so?

Your majesty's colonies
in the west indies

are urgently
in need of slaves.

A healthy,
vigorous man

can be reckoned
worth from 10 to 20 pounds.

Splendid, sunderland,
splendid.

Send out word immediately

that the king is graciously
pleased to command

that all rebels convicted
but not yet hanged

be gathered together

and shipped
by the first available boats

to the Americas.

Give us water!
There are men dying down here.

You'd think they'd
take better care

of a valuable cargo
like us.

Ahoy the deck!
Land sighted, port royal!

It's a truly royal clemency
we're granted, my friends,

one well worthy
of king James.

He spares us
the mercifully quick extinction

of the hangman's rope

and gives us
the slow death of slavery.

He grants us our lives

in exchange
for a living death.

Faith, it's
an uncertain world entirely.

Be it known that these
prisoners who stand before you

are to be sold at a right
and fitting price.

They may be put to labor
in the sulfur mines

or on the plantations
for 10 years,

and the parties
to whom they are assigned

must enter into security
for the proper punishment

of their offense.

His excellency,
the governor of port royal.

Attention!

Present muskets.

Good day,
captain.

Lovely day,
isn't it?

Or is it?

Ah! Good day, Dixon.

Good day, governor.

I suppose we can
begin this sale now.

No. Better wait
for colonel bishop.

He has the privilege
of being late for everything.

Yes, I know.

There he is.

Good afternoon,
colonel bishop.

Good afternoon,
my dear governor.

Good afternoon,
miss Arabella.

How is my darling
the governor and his foot?

Every day
I think my gout

can't get worse, and
every day it does.

My dear colonel,

according to
the king's request,

you will take
first choice

of this dainty
nosegay

and at
your own price.

Egad, they're
an appalling lot,

not likely to be of
much value on the plantation.

The less you want,
the more for Dixon.

Dixon? Oh, uncle,
buy them all

to keep them
out of Dixon's hands.

I perceive somebody's been
talking behind my back

Telling the truth.

And you can joke.

Arabella,
don't be childish.

These men are rebels
against their king.

They should have been hanged,
drawn, and quartered.

Any fate is too good
for them.

Your uncle
is right.

Let the sale commence.

Ooh, my foot!

My dear, the law
is the law,

and it's
his majesty's law

and must be obeyed.

The best
of the lot.

Open your mouth.

20 pounds.

Sold.

Sold to colonel bishop
for 20 pounds.

As if he were
buying horses.

Yes, quite.

Same price.

Next is
Jeremy pitt,

ship's pilot,

young
and sturdy.

Same price.

Sold.

Sold to colonel bishop
for 20 pounds.

Quiet.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth!

His pride
has bought him a ticket

to Dixon's mines.

He isn't there yet.

My dear, consider
consider

Uncle.

Uncle!

Hmm?

Which one?

That one.

Him? I will not.

But I want you to.

Let him cool his head
in Dixon's mines.

I'll have none of him.

5 pounds.

5 pounds? That's an
insulting sum.

Well, does anyone
offer more?

6 pounds.

Well
Well, 7.00.

You're making
an exhibition of yourself,

bidding for a slave
before all these people.

Will you buy him?

Certainly not.

8 pounds.

When a lady's
interested in a man

8 pounds is nothing
for such a man,

a skilled physician,

a gentleman,
and a scholar.

All right,
9 pounds.

10 pounds.

It's apparent

miss bishop wants
him more than I do.

Auctioneer: Sold to miss
Arabella bishop for 10 pounds.

Assistant: Sold to miss
Arabella bishop for 10 pounds.

5 pounds.
Sold.

10 pounds.

Sold.

What would you like
done with him, miss bishop?

Why, i
I don't know.

You're extremely
foolish.

It might have
cost you your life.

You're fortunate
I was here to save you.

I hardly
consider it fortunate

to be bought by anyone
by the name of bishop.

You could learn a lesson
in gratitude.

I could thank you
for not interfering.

You are hardly
in a position

to have anything
to say about it.

You may join the others
belonging to my uncle

and henceforth, you may
take your orders from him.

Your very humble slave,
miss bishop.

Come on. Move along.

Come on. Move along.

Aah!

Last night, this dog
attempted to escape.

Today you'll see
what happens

to those who forget
that my friend

king James
did you all a favor

in saving you from your
just fate on the gallows.

Show them the iron,
Kent.

Bishop: F-t.

Whoever wears that brand

is known
as a fugitive traitor

and will be treated as such.

Burn those letters
in your brain,

lest they be burned
on your hides, too.

There speaks

a fit friend
for king James

if ever
I heard one.

Would I had him
and his friend James

roasting on a spit
over that fire.

Great would be
the burning thereof

and loud the rejoicing
in heaven.

Do your duty.

Aah!

Aah!

What a cruel shame

that any man is made
to suffer so.

This beastly gout.

Perhaps a new dressing
will help.

Perhaps.

I have it here.

Put it down.

Easy, you
clumsy louts!

We won't hurt you,
governor.

Thick-fingered
jackasses.

His excellency will have
his little joke.

Ill-begotten
bunglers.

Blundering
pill-peddlers.

That is
the final straw.

The final straw!

Out of this house!
Out of this house!

Never let me see
your faces again.

But think
of our reputations.

Hang your reputations!
Leave me! Leave me!

I don't want
to see you again!

Out into the street!

Stop shouting!

You brought on
my headache again.

Good!

Hannibal,
come take my crutch.

Easy, now.
Easy, easy!

Help me up
with my foot.

Ahh.

Why doesn't his excellency
try another doctor?

Another doctor?

There are only those two
on this wretched island,

and each one is worse
than his partner.

There is another.

According to the stories
I've heard,

he became a slave
by being a doctor.

Would you
elevate a slave

to the position

of doctor
to the governor?

Is he
a good doctor?

I don't know.

Why are you
laughing?

I'm just thinking how annoyed
Peter blood would be

if I did him
another favor.

Your excellency,

citizens of this
sovereign island

come before you
with complaints.

Complaints, complaints.

Can none of my citizens

follow the example
of their governor,

who endures the utmost agony
without a murmur.

Ow! Easy there,
fellow.

Did I hurt you,
sir?

No, but I thought
you were going to.

Lawyer:
Your excellency,

this vagrant
hides his sins

behind the name
of honesty nuttall.

He's charged
with being in debt.

State your case, fellow,
and no lies.

I was on the way to pay
the butcher on Tuesday,

when I chanced on a beggar,
Jones from the grog shop,

who begged me to have
a drink with him.

Try standing on it,
your honor.

Stand on that bundle
of pain?

Impossible.

I remembered in time
my poor starving wife

in need of the 5 Bob.

What is this all about?

Silence!

Sit down.

What's he here for?

For debt, your
excellency, but

well, if it's for debt,

don't annoy me
with such petty things.

Order him
to work it off.

Work? Not that.
Anything but work.

What's your trade?

I'm a ship's carpenter

when the painful
necessity arises.

Work him on the docks,

and don't attempt to escape
till every farthing's paid

or I'll stretch your hide
on the rack.

How could a debtor
escape from this island,

even if he had a boat
to do it with?

I couldn't escape any more
than a slave could.

I can walk.

I can walk!

Wonderful,
my dear fellow.

Only 2 months' treatment
and I'm a well man.

It's a miracle.

The next complaint

drat the next
complaint.

I can walk.

Come, doctor.

You'll get your reward
for this, Peter blood.

From now on,
you're my physician.

Your excellency
is too kind.

Come back early tomorrow.

You're always welcome,
Dr. Blood.

Hello.

Hello.

Don't I know you?

A lady should know
her own property.

My property?

Let me refresh
your memory.

My name is Peter blood,

and I'm worth
precisely 10 pounds.

Oh, forgive me

for not recognizing
you, Dr. Blood.

You're so changed

for the better.

The governor tells me
I have you to thank.

You don't sound very
grateful, Dr. Blood.

Should I be grateful
for an easy life

when my friends
are treated like animals?

They deserve your favors,
not I.

They're
all honest rebels.

I was snoring in my bed

while they were trying
to free england from a tyrant.

I believe you're
talking treason.

I hope I'm not obscure.

You could be flogged
for that.

Oh, no. The governor
would never allow it.

He has the gout.

You depend
upon that?

I intend to,
for all it's worth,

and that promises
to be considerable.

But, uh, you'd
hardly know about that.

You've probably never
had the gout.

Good afternoon,
miss bishop.

Good afternoon.

52, 54
and a pair are 6.

Another?

What else
is there to do

ever since you ruined
the governor's foot

and our reputations
with it?

I didn't ruin
the governor's foot.

I tell you

shh!

Someone coming.

A patient?

A patient!

I beg your pardon, doctor.
I'm so sorry.

I beg your pardon,
doctor.

Come in.

Good afternoon,
colleagues.

Dr. Bronson.

Dr. Whacker.

Together:
Good afternoon.

Well, how's business,
my friends?

Terrible.
Good.

Terribly good.

That relieves me.
I had heard

that things were
not altogether

well, idle gossip,
obviously.

You intend
to remain here?

Remain here?

Why not?

It's queer.
There you are,

free to come and go
as you please,

and you choose
to stay here.

While I, who hate this
pestilential island

such are the quirks
of circumstance.

I must be running
along, gentlemen.

Good day, gentlemen.

It's pleasant to see

everything so prosperous
with you here.

Not so hasty.

Just a moment.

There's something
I'd like to ask you.

Well, gentlemen?

Have you been thinking
of leaving us?

Leaving?

Now, doctor.

How could a slave
think of leaving?

Even if he were
fool enough to try,

by what means
could he escape?

And where, for example,
could he raise the few pounds

necessary to purchase
even a small boat?

We might
supply it.

You?

Now, gentlemen.

Now, let's talk
this thing over.

Now, if you'll
just sit down here.

Now, then,

how much
will you need?

20 pounds might buy
a small wherry,

10 more might
equip it.

He means

you needn't tell me.

I know 2 Christian gentlemen
when I see them

2 men whose hearts
are bleeding

for a brother doctor
in distress.

But it's too much
to ask,

too noble a gesture
to hope for.

No, my good man,

not at all.

But who would
buy the boat?

We would not dare,

and you, a slave,
could not.

That would be my part

to find someone, a man
as eager to escape as I,

a man held here
for debt, say.

Then it's a bargain?

Gentlemen

You've opened for me
the gates of hope.

Doctor.

My dear
colleague.

Gentlemen.

Now we have him.

We've only
to get him involved

and reveal his plan.

He'll steal
very little business

when he's in irons.

Gentlemen.

Faith, there's one thing
slipped my mind entirely.

Simple-minded men
might think this

an opportunity
for trickery,

but brilliant men
like yourselves

will remember in what favor
I stand with the governor

in contrast
to some others,

and how little their words
would weigh against mine.

Heigh-ho
for the governor's foot.

Good day, gentlemen.

Are you all with me?

Yes.
Yes.

There's a man on the island
named nuttall

in trouble
with the governor.

He's on the lookout
for a small boat

which he'll purchase
on the night of our escape.

Escape?

Quiet!

While he gathers stores
and equipment,

we must be ready
on the inside.

We might steal
sugar cane knives

and hack through
the stockade walls.

Or dig our way under.

Once at sea,
if we get there,

our troubles
will have just begun.

If any of you want to withdraw,
now's the time.

Faith, you'll be
a lubber crew,

but I'll match your hearts
against any other.

Thank our stars
for Jeremy pitt.

He was
a ship's pilot.

Here's one you won't
have to teach.

6 years in king James' Navy.

What?

That's nothing.
I was a gunner.

A gunner?

In the king's
Navy, too.

I was ashamed
of it till now.

We'll have a crew yet!

Any of you others
been keeping such secrets?

Where's baynes?

Where is he?

He tried
to escape today.

No!

Caught?

Branded?

Yeah.

No!

Why did you do it, Andy?

I told you I'd try
to get you out.

I couldn't stand it
any longer.

I couldn't stand it.
I was going mad.

What do you think
a man is made of?

How much do you
think he can stand?

Watchman,
what of the night?

Isaiah, 21:11.

Don't make the purchase
until well in the evening.

There will be less risk
of anyone wondering

where you came by
the money.

Captain, it ain't too late
to change our minds.

Stow the provisions
away on board.

Then all you've got to
do is sit and wait.

Is that all?

Wait all alone
in the bloomin' dark

for someone
to come along and nab me.

Nuttall, me lad,

there's one other
little thing.

Could you find me
a good piece of timber

about so thick
and so long?

Yes, I think so.

Then do so, and lash it
to your spine.

It needs stiffening.

Courage. I'll join
you at midnight.

How long
does it take

to feed
this pack of dogs?

It's a wonder
we make any profit.

You don't drive them
hard enough.

Get them
out of here!

I've just been
with nuttall at the boat.

It's tonight.

At last!

For heaven's sake,
command yourself.

Tonight,
hagthorpe.

Caution
above everything.

He who goes slowly,
goes safely.

Remember, Jeremy,

you're the only navigator
among us.

Without you,
there's no escape.

Hello, uncle.

Riding again?
What do you plan to see

riding always
the same road?

Oh, you'd be surprised
what interesting things

there are to see
on this little island

if you only keep
your eyes open.

Today I saw something

you'd give
1,000 ducats to know.

Stores and equipment
are all stowed away on board.

We could use more food,
but there's no money left.

I'm not taking
any chances

by asking our
medical friends for more.

I told nuttall we'd get
to the boat by midnight.

Jeremy, we must not
fail tonight.

What the devil
have you been up to?

Tonight will be
a fine night,

judging by the sky.

Very well, pitt.
Keep it covered up.

It should heal
in a day or so.

Miss bishop.

You looking
for me, sir?

Yes. Hey, you! Stop!

What's the matter?
Why are you shaking?

Nothing.

I

What's going on
between you two?

Why, nothing.
The man has a bad leg.

Hmm.

I'll tend to you later.
Where have you been?

I've been attending
to the governor.

You lie.

Do I?

The governor's had
another attack of gout.

He's been screaming for
you all the afternoon.

Then it appears
I was not with the governor.

Then where?

Why, I've been at

He was with me, uncle.

Thank you for protecting
my reputation, Dr. Blood,

but it was
useless gallantry.

My uncle knows I spend my time
with whomever I please.

Choose your company
with better taste.

His excellency's
waiting for you!

Here, Kent,
lend him your horse.

Yes, sir.

Otherwise, the lad will be
all night getting there.

Will I be required
there long?

Afraid work will interfere
with your social affairs?

If I get back late,
say before midnight,

will I be able to get
back into the stockade?

Don't stay here
talking all night.

Be off with you!

Take him
to the stockade!

Go on!
Get on in there!

If he talks,
we're lost.

Well?

Seems that you're
continually

doing me favors.

Faith,
I don't know why.

Neither do I.
Yes, I do.

It's because
you're so very grateful

and always thank me
so prettily.

Don't blame me

for resenting you
and your favors.

This is interesting.

I've had men tell me
reasons for admiring me,

and some few have even
laid claims to loving me,

but for a man to store up
reasons for resenting me

How refreshing.

You must tell me
a few of them.

First is reason enough.
You bought me.

I've had no lack
of experiences,

but to be
bought and sold

was a new one.

I was in no mood to
thank my purchaser.

That I can understand.
Go on.

I've resented you

because your name
is bishop.

My thoughts have lumped
you with your uncle.

How was I to know that
a devil could have

Could have an angel
for a niece?

From a resentful man,

that is a pretty fair
compliment.

Have you any more reasons
for resenting me

like that one?

Indeed, I have.

Strongest of all,

I've resented you
because

You're beautiful
and I'm a slave.

Do you
understand that?

I

I don't know.

Perhaps if you were
to explain further, I

I've already
talked too much.

I'll open
your mouth!

You'll stay here without
food or water until you talk.

Why did you lie
to your uncle?

Because

Dr. Blood, you're a physician
and should know.

Is it not
considered unhealthy

for a slave
to be seen at a boat?

Why should it be?

Boats put out to sea.
Slaves may not.

You're jumping into
conclusions, aren't you?

Am I?

The governor
will be waiting for you.

Yes.

Miss bishop,

it's difficult for an
irishman to apologize,

but I hope
can you forgive me

for having thought
badly of you.

I will if you tell me
how you think of me now.

How I think
of you now?

I think of you

I think of you

as the woman
who owns me

Her slave.

But I think
the man is lucky

who can count you
his friend.

I think you know
you can.

Your slave is grateful
for all marks of favor.

When you forget your slavery
and go so far

now, there
you're mistaken.

However far
this slave may go,

he won't forget.

It's a characteristic

we Irish have in common
with the elephants.

Oh!

Hello. Where
are you going?

You're so much
improved,

I was returning
to the stockade.

Don't leave me
tonight.

I'm a sick man.

I assure you, there's
nothing more I can do.

There must be
something.

Perhaps you ought
to bleed me again.

Very well, then,
if you wish it.

But mind, no more
softness about this.

I'll have you well
by midnight

if I have to
bleed you to death.

Ahhh!

Who goes there?

Peter blood.

Jeremy, what's happened?

Water. Water.

Easy, lad, easy.

Easy.

I didn't tell him.

I didn't.

Tell him what, Jeremy?

About our plans.

My back.

Ohhelp me.

Who did this?

Bishop.

Bishop!

Swine.

I didn't tell him.
I didn't.

Peteris our boat
still standing

in at the bay?

Yes, Jeremy.

I wondered if I was
still out of my mind.

I've been seeing
boats sailing

in and out

In and out

But ours
will never sail

Not now.

Or if it does,

you'll sail
without me.

What?

And get lost at sea
without our navigator?

Nonsense, lad,
nonsense.

We're not going
this time.

It's hopeless
for all of us.

We'll manage somehow.

Hey!

What are you
doing here?

Doing?

Why, the duties
of me office.

I said he was to have
neither food nor drink

till I ordered.

Sure, now,
I never heard you.

How could you?
You weren't here.

Then how do you expect me
to know your orders?

In the name of humanity!
If you know the word.

You take that tone?

Yes, I do!

I've been too soft
with you,

but that
shall be mended.

Quick! Tie him up!

Had it easy here
up till now.

Get up there!

I'll take
this rod to you

until there's not
an inch of hide left

on your dirty carcass.

Another beating?

Faith, this will be
a good half-dozen

you've given me
in promise.

This will be as real
as it is overdue.

And what becomes

of his excellency the
governor's gouty foot?

You'll not save yourself
with that device this time.

Nothing will save you!

Pirates!

Spanish pirates!

This is what I call
a timely interruption.

What will come of it,

the devil himself
only knows.

We've got to get
through the town

to get to the boat.

Wait here, lads.

It's me
Mr. Nuttall.

You came close to being
the ex-Mr. Nuttall.

Wouldn't be the first death
I died today.

We can't
stay here waiting.

Come on. This way.

Nuttall: Sunk to the bottom
of the briney!

And, faith, it sunk
our hopes with it.

Perhaps not.

What do you
mean, Peter?

You're taking
a bath?

Yes, but not
for cleanliness.

Since the Spaniards

have been
thoughtless enough

to sink our craft,
I'll persuade them

to lend us one
of theirs.

Your excellency,

facts are so often
dull and deplorable.

Nevertheless, at the
risk of boring you,

it's my painful duty
to inform you

that 250 of my men are
now complete masters

of the town
of port royal.

Your most worthy
islanders

have been disarmed,

and your city is now

absolutely in the hands

of the forces
of his majesty

king Philip of Spain.

Now that you have our city,
what do you want with it?

For a price,

I could forebear
reducing it to ashes.

What price?

200,000 pieces of eight.

200,000 pieces
of eight?

That's why we waited
till this morning

to put to sea

we've a message
for those Spaniards,

and they're on their
way now to receive it!

Hagthorpe,
man your guns!

Clear deck!

All ready,
hagthorpe?

Aye, Peter. Ready.

Give them a taste
of their own iron!

You've done it,
hagthorpe!

You've done it!

Didn't I tell you
I was a gunner, sir?

You did that.

And bless your
rusty heart!

It's a gunner
you are!

Arabella: Brave citizens
must have captured the ship.

Egad, I think
you're right.

Someone should go aboard
and congratulate them.

Yes! Yes. Ooh!
My foot.

Since your gout
prevents you,

allow me
to be the one.

Go ahead.

You've always wanted
to be governor anyway.

Don't be nervous.

Man those sweeps.

Shall we
hoist anchor, Peter?

Aye. Get underway.

There's another
boat approaching.

It looks like
Colonel bishop.

Who?

Bishop.

The fool would
come blundering in now.

I'll make short
work of him.

No, hagthorpe.
None of that.

But

Who

Welcome aboard the cinco Lagos,
colonel darling.

You? Was it

Peter blood,
was it you, then,

who took this ship

and turned defeat
into victory?

Myself it was.

Myself and these
my friends

andyour friends.

And you saved
my money, too.

Yes, it was heroic.

Heroic, is it?

Be dead,
it was epic!

You amaze me.

On my soul,
you all deserve well.

You shall find me
grateful.

How grateful?

Why, I shall ask
his excellency

to write the king an
account of your exploit.

Perhaps some
of your sentencing

shall be remitted.

That's just about
what we expected.

Now, wolf, colonel bishop
has a kind heart.

What kind,
I'd hate to say.

What is this?

Colonel darling

Such unusual
generosity from you

must be making you
feel unwell.

As your physician,
I'd prescribe

a bit of
neck-stretching.

Lads, lads, lads!

We shouldn't hang
this man.

All: No?

No.

Tie him over a gun.

I'll scatter his innards

all over
the sugar cane fields.

You're wasting words.
Hang him!

Wait, lads,
wait!

Hanging's too
dignified for him.

Can you swim,
colonel darling?

We're giving you
the chance

to cool off some of that
excessive heat.

Over the side
with him, men!

All: 1

2

3!

Peter blood,
I'll make you pay for this,

if I spend
my life doing it!

And then
the whale came,

and the whale
swallowed Jonah

I hope.

Good-bye, Jonah!
Don't forget to write!

What's the next move,
Peter?

Up anchor!

Wolf,
man the capstan!

Hagthorpe,
get the sails ready!

Thomas, get
those men over here!

Round you go, men!
Round!

That's no water wheel
you're working.

Can you handle it, Jeremy?

Aye, aye, Peter.

We sail.
Hard to starboard.

Up that rigging,
you monkeys! Aloft!

There's no chains
to hold you!

Break out those sails!

Watch them fill
with the wind

that's carrying us
to freedom!

We, the undersigned,

are men
without a country,

outlaws in
our own land,

and homeless outcasts
in any other.

Desperate men,

we go to seek
a desperate fortune.

Therefore, we do here
and now band ourselves

into a brotherhood
of buccaneers,

to practice
the trade of piracy

on the high seas.

We, the hunted,
will now hunt.

Therefore,
we enter into

the following articles
of agreement:

First

We pledge ourselves

to be bound together
as brothers

in a life-and-death
friendship,

sharing alike
in fortune and in trouble.

Second article.

All moneys and valuables

which may come
into our possession

shall be lumped together
into a common fund,

and from this fund
shall first be taken the money

to fit, rig,
and provision the ship.

After that, the recompense
each will receive

for his wounded as follows

for the loss
of a right arm,

600 pieces of eight.

Left arm, 500.

For the loss
of a right leg, 500.

Left leg, 400.

A fellow can get
rich if he's lucky.

Greedy, greedy.

If a man conceal
any treasure captured

or fail to place it
in the general fund,

he shall be marooned

set ashore
on a deserted isle

and left with water, bread,

and a pistol
with one load.

If a man shall
be drunk on duty,

he'll receive
the same fate.

And if a man molests

a woman captive
against her will,

he, too, shall receive
the same punishment.

These articles entered into

this 20th day of June,
in the year 1687.

Now, men,
you've heard the agreement.

It's the world against us,

and us against the world.

His hand will be
against every man,

and every man's hand
against him.

Genesis 16:12.

Those of you
in favor of these articles,

raise your right hands
and say aye!

All: Aye!

Blood! Blood!

This impertinent,
ungoverned rascal

must be eradicated.

Yes,
your majesty.

Sinking Spanish ships
causes me enough embarrassment,

but he sinks
English ships as well.

Cannot governor steed
do something?

Your majesty,
he does his best,

but conditions

silence, Willoughby.

I'm not interested
in anything you have to say.

I know your feelings
towards me.

Well, sunderland,

has the secretary of state
no solution?

Yes, your majesty.

Get your head
off that hinge and speak up.

Since governor steed
is incapable,

you should appoint
a stronger man.

Who?

Colonel bishop
assures me

if he were in power,
he would not rest

until this
captain blood

were swinging
on execution dock.

Angling
for the office, is he?

What difference

if he's the iron man
we need?

Draw up the appointment.

I've already
taken the Liberty

of doing so,
your majesty.

Mrs. Steed,
Mr. Steed,

I wish you both
a pleasant journey.

I thank you,
governor.

Again, congratulations,
governor bishop.

May your term of office
be successful.

Thank you,
my friend.

Arabella dear,

have a nice
holiday in england.

I'm sure I shall.

Captain, keep a weather
eye open for pirates.

Before you return,
Arabella,

I shall have the sea
swept clean of them,

particularly one.

I think you know
whom I mean.

I hope he gets
the gout

the infernal office
gave me.

Come along.

Good-bye.
Good-bye.

Thomas fulton.
One share,

no injuries.

James Graham.

One share, plus
100 pieces of eight

for a fight wound.

Zachary Stevens.

For bravery at
the battle of maracaibo,

one share, plus
10 pounds of silver.

Oliver Clark.

One share, plus
400 pieces of eight

for loss
of his left leg.

There, Oliver.
I'm proud of you.

Lord Chester dyke.

No injury, one share
and 5 pounds of silver.

Anton brazilimo.

Ooh!

Andrew fell.

One share, plus
500 pieces of eight

for the loss
of his left arm.

There you are.
Good luck.

David Sampson.

One share,
no injuries.

Honesty nuttall.

No injuries,
one share.

Hold on, captain.

How about
me little toe,

heroically sacrificed
in battle?

Honesty nuttall.
One share,

and nothing for the toe
he just shot off himself.

You stupid numbskull.

You should have
shot out your brains

and left your toe
for thinking with.

Ahoy the deck!

An English ship
on the port bow!

An English ship
on the port bow!

So it is.

A fine, big ship, too,

as far as I can judge
from this distance.

Shall we give them
a surprise?

The men want to
put in at tortuga.

Their gold's burning
holes in their pockets.

What's one ship
to us now?

It appears I have
a mutiny on my hands.

What ho the deck!

A ship to starboard!

A ship to starboard!

It may be a pirate!

Very well, then.

Sail on, little ship,
back to england

Where we may never go.

You'll never know

how close you came
to not getting there.

Your turn,
mon capitaine.

Up.

C'est votre tour
maintenant.

Ah!

Encore,
mon capitaine.

Tu es pret?

Right.

C'est bon. C'est bon.

This time,
my friend, huh?

Ah, non, non.

I am defeated.

You win the prize,
captain blood.

Au revoir,
ma cherie.

Au revoir.

Quel charmant
capitaine.

Some other time,
perhaps.

Oh, pourquoi?

What sort of
a man are you?

I'm the sort of man
you like, me dear

a man with money.

Oh, l'argent.

Mon capitaine,

what a pair
we would make.

In all
the Caribbean,

there is
no buccaneer

so strong as me,
except you.

You almost flatter me,
levasseur.

Why do you hold off
your consent?

We become partners.

You've been tortuga
these 3,4 months.

You must need gold
as much as I.

Such a partnership
requires sober thought.

My poor head
has been dancing with rum

this whole week past.

Even so drunk,
your brain

is the greatest
this side the Caribbean.

With your brain
and my strength,

there is nothing
we cannot do!

There's very little
I can't do by myself.

Vive capitaine
levasseur!

Here's to captain blood.

Bien.

Alors c'est UN bon
convive, mon ami.

You're next,
Peter.

Mon capitaine.

It's clearly
understood, then,

that we sail
under my articles.

Those very severe
articles of yours?

Mais oui! I sail
under the articles

of a girls' seminaire

to have you as my partner,
mon capitaine!

Women will be the
death of you yet,

levasseur.

It is a very pleasant
way to die,

even if it is expensive.
Ha ha ha ha!

What is the first order,
mon capitaine partner?

We sail on the tide.

Outside the harbor,
we'll scatter.

Each ship
will proceed singly

in order to pick up
stray ships we may find.

We'll meet at the island
of virgen magra.

Magnifique!
I give you the toast.

To our great success!

To the greatest captain
on the Caribbean!

To capitaine
levasseur!

Captain blood.

Bravo! Bravo!

The articles aside,

let's give a toast
to captain blood!

Capitaine
levasseur!

To the greatest captain
on the coast!

Levasseur: Capitaine blood!
Ha ha ha!

The greatest captain
on the coast, is it?

Well, be dead,

methinks the greatest captain
on the coast

has just made
the greatest mistake

the most ordinary
common fool could make.

It's been so lovely,
I'd like to stay forever.

You've all been so kind.

Come again soon, dear.

England is so much
more beautiful

when you're here.

Thank you. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Thank you
for everything.

Good-bye, dear.
Good-bye, Amelia.

Good-bye, Mary.

Bye-bye.

Arabella: However else
the court may have changed,

the art of flattery
still flourishes.

Stab me
if it's flattery!

When the king ordered me
on this journey

as a special emissary
to the west indies,

I looked forward
with trepidation

to a life
among the savages.

But when I found you were
one of those savages,

my grateful eyes
could hardly believe it.

You pictured us
running around in animal skins,

eating raw meat?

Why not, in the country
of Indians and pirates?

Speaking of pirates,
did you ever hear of

a wild rogue
named blood?

Peter blood?

Yes.

No. I
I don't know him.

I hardly number pirates
among my acquaintances.

Of course not.
Stupid of me.

I merely mention him
in passing

because he's one of the
objects of my mission.

I've been sent
to try to blot out

all this piracy,
my dear,

and in a manner
I must keep secret

until I find
captain blood.

Ship on the port side, sir!

Yes! That's
a fine ship.

Captain, what
ship is that?

I don't know,
lord Willoughby.

She flies
the French flag.

She could be anything
in these waters.

We're in pirate
waters now?

Yes, we are.

Yonder bank
of low clouds

is the island
of virgen magra.

Exciting,
isn't it?

Very.

Could she be
a pirate ship?

Any ship we meet
in the Caribbean

could be a pirate ship.

Ahoy! English ship
off port side!

Prepare to come
under starboard attack!

Steady at the helm!

Ready?

Stand by your guns!

Alors!

Ah, quel bonheur.

Just as I'm about to
give up and anchor

to wait for my partner,
captain blood,

this very fine
English prize

walk into my parlor
and say,

bonjour, monsieur
le capitaine levasseur.

We've got to give
welcome, cahusac, huh?

Oui, et comment!
Light it.

The ransom for you two
is 20,000 pieces of eight.

I shall provide a boat

for you to go
to governor bishop at Jamaica

to collect it.

Meanwhile, mademoiselle
remains with me as hostage.

I find it very lonely
on this island.

I refuse

Absolutely
and utterly.

You know this?

It is the rosary of pain.

It is possible to screw
a man's eyes out of his head.

Very well.

Do your worst.

Alors!

No! Stop!

Lord Willoughby,
thank you,

but don't be
foolish.

Mademoiselle
is right.

Merci, mademoiselle.

I beg you
to spare yourself

and the young lady.

I have been
too modest with you,

but since I have said
20,000 pieces of eight,

eh bien, I have
said 20,000 pieces of eight.

For what have you said
20,000 pieces of eight?

If it ain't
the niece

of our old friend
colonel bishop.

You don't recognize her.
Mind that.

What does he mean?

Your guess is
as good as mine.

Blood: Good morning,
levasseur.

Bonjour,
monsieur capitaine.

Cahusac.

Capitaine.

I arrived
late last night

and put into a cove
a few miles to the west.

We've walked across

to give you
good morning,

but it seems

we've interrupted
some business.

Who are
these people?

As you see, 2 prisoners.
I captured an English ship.

Yes. We saw it
coming across the spit.

I must
congratulate you.

I didn't sight
a sail.

The fortunes of war,
my partner.

And these are also
the fortunes of war?

Big fortunes.

A nobleman and niece
of the governor of Jamaica.

Really? I suppose
congratulations

are again in order.

But there's an article
in our agreement

forbidding the taking
of women prisoners.

That's a foolish
article of yours.

I was not aware
you regarded it so

when we signed.

Would you care to dispute
my opinion now

your men
against mine?

Ha ha!

Not this morning,
thank you.

As you say,
a foolish article.

Entendu, mon ami.

These are prisoners
of my own

a matter personnel.

And the 20,000
pieces of eight?

Their ransom.

That is also
a personal matter?

It is.

Obviously,
these two prisoners,

and particularly
the young lady,

must be kept
in someone's hands

for safekeeping,

but why your hands?

Why shouldn't Pierre
have her, or Jacob,

since she's as much
their property as yours?

Or doesn't that
please you?

You'd like to keep her
for yourself, eh?

Well.

And who might that be,
do you suppose?

That is
your captain blood.

Captain blood?

Blood: And now, my captain,
since you've covered

what is our joint
property of war,

you may have her,

providing you're
willing to buy her,

at the price you
yourself put upon her

20,000 pieces
of eight.

The ransom is to be paid
by governor bishop.

It is for division
when it comes.

If the governor refuses
to pay, what then?

No. If you're to keep
the girl meanwhile,

pay the ransom.

Let it be your risk
to collect it.

Captain blood
is right.

It's
in the articles.

What is in the articles,
you fools?

Where do you suppose I have
20,000 pieces of eight?

Let someone
buy her who has.

Who?
I.

You? Ho ho ho!

Jeremy, wolf,
bring the prisoners forward.

Here they are,
Peter.

I bid 20,000
pieces of eight.

Can you improve
on that, levasseur?

I don't wish
to be bought by you.

As a lady once said
to a slave,

you are hardly
in a position

to have anything
to say about it.

Youyou want
the girl?

Why not?

And I'm willing
to pay for what I want.

Cahusac, you boast
a knowledge of pearls.

At what do you value
each of those?

Oh, 1,000 pieces each.

They're worth rather more,
but very well.

Here are 12

3/5 the value of the prize
due your ship

for having made
the capture.

For the share due my men,
I make myself responsible.

Now, wolf, will you
be so kind

as to take my property
aboard ship?

And that settles that,
my captain partner.

No, you don't!

Stop, capitaine.

Wait! You'll not
take her while I live.

Then I'll take her
when you're dead!

Capitaine, it has been
honorably settled.

It has not been
settled for me.

What is a girl?
Do not be a fool.

C'est mon affaire.

2 breeches in our articles
committed by you.

You should be
marooned.

It's what I intended
for you in the end,

but since you
prefer it this way,

faith, I'll be
humoring you.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Up.

Ha ha ha ha!

And that, my friend,
ends a partnership

that should never
have begun.

All these things
I've gathered

in my journeys.

I've gone far
since I was a slave

on your uncle's
plantation

thousands of restless,
hectic miles.

But somehow,

tonight I've got
a strange feeling

that my journey
is almost over.

You see
these ankle rings?

They came from a ship
out from persia.

And these pearls

They're from a fleet

we captured
off the azores.

Have you ever seen
such pearls?

Yes, I have.

They're like the pearls
you sometimes use

for making purchases,
are they not?

Yes, they are.

How many lives
did they cost?

As few as possible.

It wasn't lives
I was after.

What, then?

I never quite knew.

Some urge
that drove me on.

Revenge, I suppose.

But I've had my fill
of revenge.

I often wondered why

I bothered to save
all these things.

Tonight I know
it's because

One day, you'd be
here to wear them.

I'll never wear them, never,
those nor any other plunder

gotten by a thief and pirate.

Thief and pirate.

I've seen myself
bargained for

and fought over

a combat
between jackals.

But I thought you
understood.

You mean you thought
you'd bought me.

I suppose I should have
regarded that as a compliment.

You pirates are used to
taking what you want

without the formality
of purchase.

Go back to your ladies
at tortuga

who are thrilled by
your bold, lawless ways.

I only hate you
and despise you.

I might have expected your
thanks for what I've done,

but very well.
Let it be so.

I'm thief and pirate,
and I'll show you

how a thief and a pirate
can deal.

Once, you bought me
for 10 miserable pounds.

Now I've bought you
for considerably more.

The amount's no matter.
What matters is

now I own you
as you once owned me.

You're mine,
do you understand?

You're mine to do with
as I please.

Captain blood,

lord Willoughby
sends his compliments

and requests you
at your convenience.

He's been sent
by the king himself.

Tell him I'm not convenient
to any friend of the king's.

All I've got to say to him
is good riddance,

as soon as I can get him
to his destination.

Jeremy.

Wolverstone.

Wolverstone!

What is it, Peter?

We're changing
course.

Draw down
every rag of canvas

the yards will hold.

Aye, aye, Peter, but

Jeremy!

All hands on deck!

Jeremy!

Jeremy:
Coming, Peter!

Must you be forever sleeping
when I need you?

I wasn't sleeping.
I was

never mind. Set the course
for port royal.

Port royal?

Port royal?

But the English fleet
is at port royal.

Sweet, merciful heaven!
Haven't you ears?

Set the course
for port royal!

Make speed there,
wolverstone.

Speed it is, Peter.

Jeremy:
Helm, west by north.

West by north, sir.

Make speed there!

To your halyards.

Tacks and braces.

We head
for port royal!

Make speed there!
That's the order.

Make speed there!

There's a gallows
waiting for each of us

at port royal.

No man should be late
to his own hanging.

How you hate
the villain.

If I were a young man,
I'd be jealous.

But you said you
didn't even know him.

He was once
my slave.

Slave?

Did you know him well?

I did.

He's not such a bad fellow
for a pirate.

When he made
his escape,

I was thrilled
and happy

Before I knew

how he would use
his freedom.

But aren't you forgetting

that a man's bitter heart
made a man's revenge?

That is the
unforgivable thing

to have put his revenge
above everything else

and to have
destroyed himself.

I've seen pirates.

I know their ways
cruel, evil, greedy,

plundering
peaceful cities,

torturing
their captives

Beasts.

Are you so much
in love with him

In love with him?

That you care so much
what he does?

I don't care in the
least what he does.

Someone should, in view
of what he's doing now.

Your uncle's with
a fleet at port royal.

That much is fortunate.

What's this about my
uncle in port royal?

He amazes me,
this fellow.

That's where
he means to take us.

No, he can't.

They won't
let me near him.

He's alone
on his quarter-deck

in a fine Irish temper,
I expect.

But I learned of it
from the crew.

Lord Willoughby,
he mustn't.

My uncle is a hard,
unforgiving man.

He lives in the hope

of one day hanging
captain blood.

Captain blood probably
doesn't know that.

I doubt it would make
any difference if he did.

He's chivalrous
to the point of idiocy.

Chivalrous?

And yet he's been
what he's been

these last
3 years

And done
what he's done.

Oh, lord Willoughby,
help me.

I see your point,
my child,

but that's something

you must decide
for yourself.

Life can be
infernally complex.

It's hard to lay tongue
to the right words.

I'll lay tongue to them.
We won't sail to Jamaica.

Bishop's entire fleet's
at Jamaica.

When you risked your neck
over that petticoat,

that was your business,

but it's our necks you're
risking now, and I say no,

not for her
nor a dozen like her.

I got a great
affection for my neck.

I have no wish to hear it crack
by a hangman's knot.

This is what comes
from sailing the seas

with a lovesick madman!

We've been with you
since the first, Peter.

We have a right.

You, too, Jeremy?

All right, lads.

What do you
mean, Peter?

We're not sailing
to Jamaica.

There's nothing more
to be said.

Hooray
for our side!

Quiet. You sound
like a rooster.

Good night,
lads.

Wait a minute, Peter.
Where are we sailing for?

That's for you
to tell me

Since I'm no longer
running this ship.

We didn't
say that, Peter.

As Jeremy says,
you've got the right.

You've been with me
from the first

and been loyal and true.

Followed me into
every tight corner

men could follow
another.

But you always
got us out.

Aye, and none
the poorer for it.

Yes, but there's
no gold to be got.

Do you think it was
for gold we followed you?

No, I've not got
the right

to ask you
to follow this time.

The girl's my
concern, not yours.

Are we going to see this snip
laugh at our captain?

There's
bishop's fleet.

That might be paying
a high price

to keep from being
laughed at.

We're not
such Lily-livered scum

as to be afraid of
colonel bishop.

No. That is,
not very afraid.

Fie on you deserting
our captain in this way,

you scurvy traitors,

you Judas iscariots,

you snakes in the grass,
wolves in sheeps' clothing!

I was with them
to spy on them.

Aah!

You better think
carefully, lads.

Yonder lies Jamaica,
and straight we sail for it!

Straight we sail
for it!

Aye!
Aye!

Aye.

Ahoy the deck!

Ahoy!

I've sighted port royal!

Aye! Port royal,
you say?

Aye, sir!

There's
something amiss!

I see flashes
of gunfire

from ships
in the harbor!

Fetch
the captain!

Aye, aye, sir!

Bugler,
all hands on deck!

It's terrible to wake up
dreaming of thunder.

That's gunfire
if I ever heard any!

There's a battle
in port royal harbor.

How many ships,
Jeremy?

It's hard to see clearly
in the early morning light.

I think there are 2.

It's an attack
on port royal, but who?

Pirate craft, perhaps.

Wish I could
make out their flags.

Willoughby: Perhaps
I can supply the answer.

You can?

Yes, if I may speak to
so inaccessible a person.

If port royal
is being attacked,

they are
likely French ships.

French?

Port royal's attacked
by the French? Why?

When 2 countries are at war
and one is attacked,

who would it be
but the enemy?

France and england
at war?

You mean you don't know?

Where have you been
the past 2 months?

At sea, out of touch
with the world.

The fire from the fortress
is weakening!

One ship is already
firing on the town!

That's strange.
Where is the English fleet

that's supposed
to protect the town?

It's my turn to
supply the answer.

It's out
chasing pirates.

Bishop would never
leave his post

in time of war.
He wouldn't dare.

Colonel bishop,
if I may say,

is a very old and dear
friend of mine.

It's probably me
he's after.

That fool!

And me in his own
front yard!

Shorten sail there, wolf.
Lend a hand forward, Andy.

Jeremy, head 2 points
to larboard to the fort.

Get your men
to their stations, Chester.

Speed there, lads!

Raise the fore topsail!

Aye, aye, sir!

May I ask, captain,
what are your intentions?

Lord Willoughby,
I set out

to land you at port
royal, but now

miss bishop,

an unlooked-for
circumstance

prevents my landing you
on your own dock,

but I trust that
the beach nearby

will be equally
satisfactory.

I

thank you.

Only
please understand,

this is a bargain

your freedom
for my freedom.

I no longer regard
myself as a slave.

My life's my own

Even though i'm
thief and pirate.

Captain blood, are you,
an englishman, leaving

when yonder, an English
town is being taken?

Hagthorpe, clear my deck
and keep it cleared.

Aye, we'll
take care of him.

Take your hands off!

Wait, lads, wait.

Captain blood,
I must talk to you.

Very well.
I've the honor to be Irish,

but part of my crew's
English.

I was myself, once, too,
in loyalty.

Of what should we
be thinking?

Of the chance to
fight for your king.

To fight for my king?

Yes. He was loyal
enough to send me

to offer you pardon
for your crimes,

freedom
from your slavery,

and a commission
in his own Navy

for you
and your men.

You hear that, Chester?

The king wants us
to join his Navy!

Read it
for yourself.

Lord Willoughby,
you're a guest aboard my ship,

and I've still some notion
of decent behavior,

so I'll not be telling you
what I think of this offer.

All I'll say is, I wouldn't
soil my hands with it,

even though they're the hands
of a thief and pirate.

But this concerns you,
too, my lads,

what do you
say to serving the king?

No!
No!

I'd like to serve him
with a rope necktie.

I'd rot before
I'd serve him!

I'd sink this ship
with all hands

before I'd serve him!

It would appear
that my crew is dubious

as to the merits
of his majesty's offer.

However you hate
the king,

england
is still england.

And a bad king is bad
a worse one if he's James!

James? This commission
is sent by king William.

King William?
Who may king William be?

What's he king of?

I'm alluding to his majesty
king William III,

William of orange, who,
with queen Mary,

has come over
from the Netherlands

and has been ruling england
the past 2 months or more.

They've roused
themselves at home

and kicked out
that pimple James?

Yes, and he's fled to
France and is in hiding.

The English people
will go so far,

captain blood,

and then they get up

on their stubborn
hind legs.

William sent us
this commission?

Yes. He knows
you're good men,

wrongfully sold
into slavery.

He can use good men
in his Navy.

It's the long-winded
fellow you are!

Why didn't you tell us this
in the first place?

Bugler, summon
the men amidships!

Men! I've just heard

a startling piece
of news.

King James is kicked
out of england,

and good king William
reigns in his stead.

For me, this changes
the shape of the world.

For you who were slaves
with me,

it means that
we're no longer slaves.

We once more have
a home and country.

For you who are English,
it means a chance

to fight for
your native land,

for I now propose
to sail into port royal

and take it
from the French!

Those who are not
English

will have to be content

with fighting
for captain blood

And the loot you'll find
on the French ships.

Are you willing
to fight, men?

Aye!
Aye!

Have we an English
battle flag on board?

We have every manner
of battle flag,

including a lady's
purple petticoat.

I've a better idea.

When an English lion
creeps up on French foxes,

he does well to wear
a bushy tail.

Hoist the French flag,
hagthorpe.

Stand by the helm,
Jeremy.

Forward, men,
to your stations.

Is that satisfactory
to you, lord Willoughby?

Perfectly.

Clear decks for action!

Captain blood's orders
you're to be put ashore

in the safekeeping
of these men.

A ship is no place for
a woman in time of battle.

I want
to talk to him.

The captain's busy.
Into the boat.

Follow me,
miss bishop.

Musketeers,
to your stations!

A French ship.

Hope we get on them
before they discover the trick.

Andy, run to hagthorpe.

Tell him to fetch hot coals
from the galley and tubs.

Put them by the guns.

Hot coals, sir?

Run!
Aye, aye, sir!

Standby ready to fire
as soon as we come amidships.

Aye, sir.
Stand ready to fire

as soon as we've
come amidships!

Open your ports!

Strike that French flag
and hoist our own colors!

Man your port guns!

Men: Aye, aye, sir!

Ready, hagthorpe?

Fire!

Hagthorpe, give them
the hot galley broadside!

Aye, Peter!
Load 'em, lads!

Hagthorpe, keep pounding
that waterline!

We never miss!
Ha ha ha!

That's one ship
neatly disposed of!

Now for
the other one.

Helm quarter
to port.

Aye, aye, Peter.

Clear away that
burning wreckage!

Port guns, wolf. Hurry!

Aye, Peter.

Man your port guns!

Those French gunners must have
learnt their trade in england.

That's their third
direct hit.

2 guns out of order!
Ship's taking water below.

Replace them with 2
from the starboard side.

Keep hammering
that waterline!

We're sinking.
What should we do?

Do? We'll board a ship
that's not sinking.

Get your men forward.

What now, Peter?

Take the helm yourself, lad.
Straight into them!

We'll never do it,
Peter!

Musketeers
to the prow!

Tell those
forward gunners

to fire as hard
as they can load.

Rapid-fire, men!

Hagthorpe,
double them up!

They won't take it, Peter.
They're blazing hot!

Up into the shrouds, men!

We're going to swing
across those ropes.

When we clear that rail,
lead your men over the side!

Aye, aye, Peter!

You and your men swing
into their rigging.

When you see me cut down
that French flag,

that's the time
to drop down.

Up, men.
Into the shrouds!

Strong and sure!
Grapnels over!

Aah!

All right, my hearties,
follow me!

Follow on, men!

Dust thou art, and unto dust
thou shalt return.

Love thy neighbor
as thyself.

Leviticus 19:18.

Hurry, cato.
We'll be late.

Yes'm. The fleet's in
already.

Stop!

Yes'm. Whoa.

Captain blood!

Miss bishop.

I'll be
on the verandah.

Arabella:
Captain blood!

I thought you'd gone.

You can't be here.
My uncle's just returned.

Yes, I know.

Well, what are you
going to do?

Just stay here.

Oh, no, you mustn't stay.
He's sworn he'll hang you.

I doubt he will.

I've always been bad
luck for your uncle.

Oh, you can't know
the threats he's made.

His whole life is spent
in searching for you.

Well, now
he's found me.

But you can still
save yourself.

Please, for my sake.

For your sake? What
do you mean, your sake?

Isn't it true
that you hate me?

Hate you?

Or is it
that you love me?

I'll hide you.
I'll find some way

you love me, don't you?
Don't you?

Whom else would I love?
Now will you?

You love me!

Lord Willoughby,
she loves me!

Shh!
She loves me!

He'll be here any minute.
I'll hide you somewhere!

We'll hide together.
I know just the place.

Peter!

How is this?

You must be mad.
He'll come here first.

Good. Oh, I forgot
to tell you.

The governor and I
are on the best of terms.

He lets me come and go
as I please. Look.

You can't
arrest me!

I have arrested you,
by order of the governor.

You're mad.
I am the governor.

You were the governor,

but we've changed that
in your absence.

What?

Bishop, you're broken

for abandoning your post
in time of war.

Who are you?

My name is Willoughby,
emissary of the king.

Lord Willoughby?

You were informed
of my coming,

yet you went off
after a pirate,

leaving your capital

at the mercy
of the enemy.

Colonel bishop, this
is a serious matter.

Seeing that you
hold your office

from James,

it's possible the
charge of treason

lies against you.

But, my lord

I'm not
concerned to hear

your reasons, man.

His excellency
the governor will.

The governor?

You'll
find him inside.

It rests entirely
with him

whether you're
hanged or not.

This is all the fault
of that scoundrel blood.

What a reckoning
there'll be when we meet.

Oh!

Oh, have mercy,
your excellency!

Have mercy!

Arabella,
why are you here?

Uncle!

I have been
pleading

with the governor
on your behalf,

asking him to be
as merciful

as you would
be cruel.

Uncle, this is
the governor.

Good morning, uncle.
