Come on, I'll help you.

Let's get you off to the farm and you can have a feed.

Then you can all have a rest.

Rest?

I've lost me ship.

How do I rest?

The one that's missing.

He's past the headland unconscious.

Coming! Lewis!

I hope he's not too badly hurt.

Too bad if he is. It was him that put us on the rocks.

Keep your tramps shut.

Lorenzo will tell him when he comes to.

Then pray he don't come too.

Exposure and some concussion.

My father would do a better job.

But he won't be back until the day after tomorrow.

How long will Lorenzo be like that?

A day?

A week?

Who knows?

I was below during the start.

Him.

He was at the wheel.

Good hand, or so I thought.

That thing was on the rock.

What did the ship think it was?

That we were carrying pig iron.

She drank like a stone.

It wasn't your fault.

I'm the captain.

I take the blame.

Now my ship's gone.

Scavengers are picking the bone.

That's ready.

We'll get you up to Coates' farm.

No.

To the beach.

I had me papers in a satchel. I lost them abandoning ship.

They may have washed ashore.

But it's dark.

I need them.

Are you sure you're... Miss.

You should go down to the shipwreck, Manfred. There's all sorts of things

Canvas, ropes, you might be able to use some of it.

No, the broken pieces of a good ship.

I don't want to see that.

Bye.

I sense the ship crashing on the rocks like that. I mean, even if the helmsman

wasn't looking, what were the rest of the crew doing?

Asleep or drunk, if I know sailors.

All of them. Wouldn't surprise me.

Now, don't leave the mail out in the open.

I never do.

Postmaster?

Postmaster. Well, we won't know what happened until this Lorenzo chap, he

up.

Still a bit strange.

Could I have the mail delivered today, please?

I bet they can't wait to get home, poor lads.

The captain was more worried about finding his ship's papers. Well, they

be much use to it now.

The mail.

Yes, postmaster.

If I didn't tell him, it wouldn't get done.

Yes, postmaster.

G'day, Miss Vicky.

Any mail?

I'm sorry, Lewis. All your lady friends at theatre have forgotten you.

One for Mr. Coach, though. Oh, well.

How's Captain Pollock?

He's packed his crew off to town already.

So him and the mate are hanging on to find those papers.

You know, he's very anxious.

Why?

I don't know.

And none of them were talking.

About what?

About how his ship went on the rocks in broad daylight.

Something was badly wrung out there.

Come, boy. Come.

Come.

Leave. Leave.

Leave.

Wait.

Come, boy.

Come.

Manfred?

You walk into farm.

He's a stray, I think.

I saw a dog like that at the beach. I'm sure it's the same one.

From the ship, yes?

Don't let him bark.

Jenny was sitting up half the night with that sailor. She's still got her calls.

I will feed him.

Pollock never mentioned a dog.

Do you think he belonged to the captain?

I don't know. Why?

I have a dog just like him in Germany.

Her name is Brunhilde.

Whose name is Brunhilde?

Where in heaven's name did that come from?

There are salt in his coat. We think ashore from the wreck.

Take him outside.

Why? There are strict quarantine regulations about animals coming into

country. Can I keep him?

He will take the place of Brunhilde.

After passing quarantine, and if not claimed... Come on, boy.

Come on.

Brunhild? Yes, from Wagner's opera. Oh, and Manfred?

Tie him up.

I think I'll call him Albrecht.

Or Siegfried.

Pogner?

Poggy the doggy?

Acqua. Molte.

Are you all right?

Acqua.

Molte.

You're all right.

You're safe. We'll look after you.

You are now found.

We think he's off your ship.

Hide?

Hide from what?

Between you this morning and the dog last night, I have not had a wink of

Do you mind if I snatch a few minutes now?

I'm sorry, I'm building a kennel.

Are you sure it's big enough?

Well, he must have room to move around.

You can take him for a walk as long as you keep him on a leash.

I will finish later.

Please.

the dog, and Bruce Pelosi. This job will make an old woman out of me.

Why, oh why, did Father pick this week to be at a medical conference?

Jenny? Hmm?

What do you think Lorenzo meant when he said hide?

I think he was still a bit delirious.

Is he sleeping all right now?

Yes. Well, I wish I was.

because you're overfeeding him.

He won't drink his water either.

You really want to keep him?

I would like to very much.

He might belong to Lorenzo.

I hope not.

If I see the captain, I'll ask him.

I think he's still down at the beach.

Why is that? There's nothing left of his ship.

I don't know.

Bye.

One into the other. Somebody scavenged them then. I have to search every farm

for the next 20 miles.

You haven't found your papers yet?

No.

Lorenzo's much better.

Has he woken up?

Not yet.

Oh, but we found a dog.

A big one.

The one that was on the beach.

Eh? Ah, no, Missy.

Never had no dogs on board.

But surely he must have... Said no dogs.

Come on. You can do it for nothing.

Step back.

That dog. Maybe they're sure.

If they find out what happened, it's jail for all of us. What's that?

Come on.

Did they mention a satchel?

What sort of satchel?

I don't know, but your sons may have seen it on the beach yesterday.

Or even brought it home.

Oh, they've not been up to mischief, I hope.

Have you boys been up to mischief?

No, Ma. We haven't. It's just some wood we brought back.

It's under the tarpaulin over there.

I might have found something.

I'll go and have a look.

No, I'll look. You keep working.

Finn knows where to look, Ma.

You fix the roof or I'll stand you under that leak all night.

Oh, you found us good.

Could you put the cover back, please, Miss Vicki?

Aye. It might rain.

Wait.

The demon drink.

Make way, Seamus.

Thank you, Mrs. Conner.

A pleasure, dear.

Just wanted to see what it tastes like, Ma.

You'll get a taste all right when you come down out of there.

And you'll have to come down sometime.

Thank you, Manfred.

Look in on Lorenzo a couple of times, will you?

I'll be back this afternoon.

Did you sleep well?

No.

Well, Pogge, not the only one down in the dumps.

When I said we had the dogs, they seemed... very scared.

Aye. They've hooked a clean out of the belly.

Why? Look at this.

Two cargo manifests.

The bills of lading don't add up.

What does that mean?

A little trick here, Constable.

It explains why they weren't sure.

Yes. My guess is they were delivering stuff straight onto the beach.

To avoid customers.

Smuggling. Aye. The ones that take delivery tend to make quite a nice

Yes, they would.

Go to jail, Mr. Burton.

Oh, of course. Of course. Quite right to.

They don't know I found the papers.

It was the dogs that scared them, I'm sure.

Look. On this one, it says two pairs of boar hounds. And Captain Pollock said

they had no dogs.

They didn't, legally.

They were scared.

All right.

Scared of being caught.

Thanks, young lady.

Done well.

Yes. Well done, Victoria.

Hide.

What did Lorenzo mean?

Hide from what?

He was scared.

Roy, you spill your water?

I'll get some more.

Hey, when I'm finished with work, we'll go for a good run, huh?

Thanks.

Thank you.

More thing.

Oh, Vicky.

Sorry.

It's what Lorenzo was muttering.

My grandfather took me to Italy, so I can understand a little.

Something about water and death and dogs.

Well, maybe this word hide means something in Italian.

Perhaps the dogs got out of control.

There were ten men on that ship.

Well, your Lorenzo will tell you when he wakes up, if he speaks English.

He does.

When he came to, I told him where he was and he nodded.

Then I told him about the dogs and he got scared.

Why hide the dog when everyone knew where it was?

I think he was trying to warn us. Say something about the dog. That something

was wrong with the dog.

I'd better go and get Samuel's veterinary dictionary.

There. Of course he doesn't use it anymore.

Eight.

No, there's nothing there.

And I've never heard of grown men being scared of dogs. And I've certainly never

heard of sailors scared of water.

Not H -I. H -Y.

Symptoms.

There's a fear of water.

Oh, no, it couldn't be that.

Couldn't it?

The new house is ready.

Would you care to inspect it?

I'll see how Mr.

Lorenzo is and get you some more water and then we'll go for a good run, huh?

Always showing off.

What's the matter?

Help me close the door.

Why? I can't breathe.

to sneak in and make the drop at night.

The dogs may have been carrying the disease for months.

Three of them suddenly went rabid, and you can imagine the panic.

And the ship went on the rocks.

If the captain reported rabid dogs, he may have been asked about all his cargo.

Everything burned.

I'm sorry, Manfred.

He was a fine dog.

He was in pain.

There was nothing we could have done.

No.

And we could not let him suffer.

Thank you.
