Original subtitles

Baines has taken his time, hasn't he? Had a face like a fiddle since he heard

you taking on a passenger, sir.

She'll have her orders to stay out of our way.

Oh, do you want to know his name?

Captain O 'Neill, then. Ma 'am.

I am Margarita Juarez.

I think my agent arranged for me to travel with you.

Our trustee told you that this is a cargo, not a passenger ship.

Yes, yes, he did.

Shall I show the lady to her quarters, sir? No, you get back there and get

Captain Baines.

Damn your eyes!

Let her go!

And tell him to mind his language, will you?

I was told you'd be sailing immediately, Captain O 'Neill. Aye, as soon as

Captain Baines has secured his personal cargo.

Here. I have no time to waste.

Another of our, yeah?

Your cabin is next to the saloon. Would you like to follow me?

I'll stay on deck for the moment. Thank you.

As you wish.

Take care, Captain Baines.

I don't want my deck marked by that thing.

Here.

Morgan's cannon.

You'll never see another like her, Tom.

Morgan's cannon?

If I had a penny for every one of Morgan's cannons, I'd be retired.

This one's guaranteed certified.

Just get it stored, will you? I'm a patient passenger.

So I see.

With half the hold empty, we can't afford to be choosy.

Let's just get on the way, shall we?

No sense of history.

There's no romance.

Oh, I don't know, Master.

Bad business. Women are bored.

Just cargo.

That's what Captain Eden says.

You wipe that grin off his face, lad, and show her below.

And tell Bill Turner I want it. An old Navy gunner like him will know the value

of this cannon he'll store right.

All hands, stand by to make sail!

I'd like a word. If you can spare the time, Mr. Dunwoody.

I'm here, Mr. Dawkins.

This, Mr. Dunwoody, is a cable.

I can see what it is.

If you stop waving it about, I may even be able to read it.

Mr. O 'Neill was in Louisiana. You knew that?

I did. I failed to see... With cargo to load at New Orleans.

Ah, yes.

He was forced to sail half empty.

You know why, of course.

When we amalgamated the offices, it was agreed that we should cooperate.

Cooperate? To take cargo from under our damn noses? And you call that

cooperation, Mr Dunwoody?

Fraser's had a ship there.

The cargo was waiting and dock charges were mounting up.

I did the unheeding line a favour.

You know how much my master wants full cargo since that damn ransom business.

You knew he needed that cargo and you filched it from us.

And not so much as a word.

Not even to me.

I've never had to ask permission from Mr. O 'Neill's chief clerk before, and

not about to start now.

I see.

Well, I wonder what Lady Fogarty will think of this. I suggest, Mr. Dawkins,

that you should keep your nose out of Fraser business.

I am general manager of the Fraser line, and I have her ladyship's confidence.

So, I suggest you try to raise the cargo for Mr. O 'Neill in South America.

It is what you are paid for, after all.

I hope I'm not interrupting, Captain.

No, ma 'am.

Oh, please, don't stop your work.

I... Just the cabin is to your liking.

You're not used to carrying passengers, Captain, on Eden. We carry any cargo, ma

'am. I mean, I didn't... So I'm as much cargo as Captain Bane's cannon.

They're probably not quite as valuable.

Cannons are fake.

Fool and his money.

Excuse me?

Oh, it's an English saying.

Fool and his money are easily parted.

I see.

The agent said you were in a devil of a hurry. Otherwise, he didn't tell me very

much about you.

He assured me that you were reliable and that you would make the best possible

speed. Do this, and I will make sure my father pays you well. Oh, no need.

I made sure the agent paid me before I took you on board.

You think my father is not honest?

He would cheat you.

Well, I don't know your father. There was no offence intended.

He is President Juarez of Gallardo.

All right.

We are very close.

Then he's very lucky.

My experience, daughters take a poor view of their fathers, ma 'am.

Ma 'am?

Margarita is easier, I think, Captain.

And if we have to travel together... Ah, well, if you'll forgive me.

You live up to the English reputation.

Indeed. Deep back, formal.

So if you wish, I will continue to call you Captain O 'Neill.

James.

James O 'Neill will do.

Captain O 'Neill.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise.

Well. What is it, Tom?

Cannon's secured, sir. And the port at home?

No, Tony's just finished chucking her off on deck.

Oh, huh.

You're not always so abrupt.

Don't know what you mean, Mrs.

Excuse me.

Keep her closer to the wind, Almsman.

Wait!

Where is it?

What is that pig iron doing on my deck?

That's a proper place for Morgan's cannon, that is.

Besides, she's a fine sight there. She's safe enough. She's well chopped.

Better than a piano, I suppose.

How far did we sail yesterday, Tom?

What? I'm writing my journal.

I need to know how far.

Oh, I say, um...

Yesterday it was 152 miles.

Hey, do you write that for fun, missus?

Of course.

Don't you find what you're doing fun?

Hey, no, I'm doing this as Captain Baines says I must.

I've got navigation, trigonometry, law, social stuff.

You must be very clever.

Yeah. I'll be a mate by the time I'm 18, and I'll have my master's ticket before

I'm 21.

Maybe. You'd better get on, then. I would hate to slow your progress.

No, I'm done for the time being, missus. I'm on the next watch.

Tell me something.

Are you related to Captain Baines or Captain O 'Neill?

No.

I had noticed they do not treat you like the other sailors.

Then why do they take such an interest in you?

Well, I'm apprenticed.

They've got their reasons, I suppose.

I'm sorry.

I did not mean to pry.

It's all right. You can ask me anything.

Captain Baines may not like a woman aboard, but I'm not bothered.

Thank you.

Captain O 'Neill said something about the daughters.

Does he have other children?

That daughter's enough, I'd say.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Caused him a lot of grief, she has.

Not like his missus.

Still. Tell me about her, Tom.

She died.

You liked her?

Yeah, she was straight with me.

She sought her care and she took her time to help people.

It was kids, mostly.

She ran a home for them. She fed them.

Gave them a bit of loving, I suppose.

She sounds remarkable.

Yeah.

She was a great lady.

I don't want to talk about it no more.

No, of course.

Thank you, Tom.

I'll tell you something else, missus.

Look, my master may be what you called him.

Abrupt.

Maybe you ain't used to it.

But remember, his missus died just eight months ago, so don't take it

personally. Tom!

You idiot!

Right, let's see your answers.

Right. You get topside.

Take a fight.

I want to know exactly where we are.

Off you go.

Careful with her.

We were talking.

Do you object?

He's got work to do. I don't want him distracted.

He said he had finished.

Would you care for a glass of wine?

Thank you.

Most difficult man to talk to.

Oh, I know I'm here as cargo and no more.

But I've endured five days with hardly a civil word.

Suspicion from Captain Baines, and you ignore me.

I'm not complaining, but it does make this voyage a little tedious.

I see.

So you find me rude and Captain Baines suspicious.

Well, what happened, that's our nature.

It's your damned English stiff -backed stubbornness, sir.

It happened. You have reason for it.

What exactly do you mean?

A daughter who has caused you pain.

And a wife not long dead. Ma, ma.

I suggest you leave that subject alone.

I see no need for you to take on so. You come here at a time like this, talking

of investing money.

Keep the same lack of sensitivity that your father had. I merely sought to

practice what Uncle James is always on about. Keeping it in the family.

I had a word with Dunwoody while you were keeping me waiting.

He seemed to think that with a bit of cheese pairing here and there... He

to think... Dunwoody, if you please.

Really, no need for all this. We're only passing the time of day.

Close the door, Dunwoody.

Thank you.

I'm told you and Mr. O 'Nedan have been discussing the business. He's thinking

of starting in America.

Well, we did have a few words, my lady, yes.

I pointed out that he'd need two very large warehouses on the other side to

house both imports and exports.

The warehouses aren't important, though. They can wait. As far as I'm concerned,

they can wait forever.

You said something about cheese pairing, did you not, Mr Dunwoody?

Concerning our freight rates, my lady.

Well, a contract to carry all the cargo between America and Liverpool for such

an enterprise could be... Is that what you're offering?

For an investment of capital, we get the contract to carry all your cargo?

I would have thought that was quite clear.

Implicit in the suggestion.

Mr Dunwoody, I'm sure you must have a great deal to do in your office.

So, thank you for your help.

There is one other thing, my lady. Yes, well, I'm sure I can wait, Mr Dunwoody,

because my aunt and I have a great deal to discuss. Tell us about this other

thing, Mr Dunwoody.

Well, it's simply that Mr Samuel did mention that if we didn't invest, he'd

to go to Parker's for investment, and naturally he'd be obliged to offer them

the cargo contract.

I see.

Thank you.

Lady.

Mr. O 'Neill didn't.

Aunt Elizabeth, I didn't mean it to sound... Like blackmail?

I'm offering you an opportunity to invest money... You know perfectly well

have no spare cash.

I went into debt finding the ransom for your uncle.

And scant thanks I got for it. Well, I put up the money as well. I and had the

gall to charge interest.

Aunt Elizabeth, if you can't invest in my American scheme, then unfortunately I

shall just have to approach someone else, won't I?

I see.

So knowing I have no spare cash, you offer it to me first so that you can go

to Parker's with a clear conscience.

A merchant must take his chances where he may.

Merchant? You're naught but a jumped -up shopkeeper.

Good day, aunt.

Danny!

In my country, a woman is expected to say very little.

Good.

I'm not like these women.

And I will not be told to keep silent to please any man.

You know, you can't live forever on memories of love and with anger in your

heart because you think you've failed.

Failed?

Do you feel angry because you think you are the only one who suffers, who feels

guilty, who feels the loss?

Tom feels it for her too, you know.

Well, he never said it to me.

You'd have warned him off, guarding your loss like a dog at its meat.

Well, I apologise.

I can't say any more, can I?

Tell me of yourself.

I'm 47 years old.

I'm a sailor out of Liverpool.

I have a difficult daughter.

I have some ships, few friends and a cold house to come home to.

Not much at my age, is it?

Don't laugh at me, woman.

My father always said to me, a simple, honest man is worth a thousand clever,

dishonest ones.

Billing and cooing, now they are.

You seen them, master?

I seen nothing, heard nothing, and you do well to say nothing.

Mrs. Leddy not even cold in the ground.

It's not right, is it, Captain Bain, sir? I've told you before, mind your

business and hold your tongue. Well, is it right, though, eh?

Keep her on course.

Well, is it?

What you and I think don't make a gob of difference. He'll do just what he

wants. Or get led by the nose.

You know, young Tom, sometimes I think you've got an old head on your

Keep her on the course.

Fine morning, Bates.

Set fair, that's something.

Oh, come on, man. You haven't cracked your face since we left Barbados.

Well, I got things on my mind. I mean, return cargoes, for one thing.

Well, we wouldn't need one if Fraser's hadn't stolen ours at New Orleans.

Oh, wait till I get my hands on that, don't worry.

That Greek, uh, Gavin, whatever his name is? Gavralidis.

Gavralidis.

He's a good agent.

Stop worrying.

Well, someone has to.

Mr. Dawkins! Make peace!

What the devil do you mean, barging into the Fraser offices like this?

It's not the Frasers we've come to see.

Mr. O 'Neill will speak with him. You'll do no such thing. Do you work for him?

I do not. Then I don't want to say no for himself.

Well, it so happens he's in the Caribbean.

But even if we're here, he'd not want to be bothered with the likes of you,

mate. Peace.

Look, there's no need to take that tone.

I never caused you no trouble, nor Clem here.

We've come to see Mr.

O 'Neill on account his late wife was out to some kids.

That's all.

And no concern of Captain O 'Nedim's, I assure you. So, on your way. My brother,

Mr Dunwoody, has every intention of keeping that children's home open in

of his wife.

Why did you wish to see Mr O 'Nedim?

Ma 'am, we've kids.

I've three.

Clamira's four.

They're yelling for food and there's none in house.

We've got wives going near mad with it. Then I suggest you find some work. Oh,

aye. Fine words with men being laid off right left and centre. That'll do, make

peace. I can deal with this, my lady. I will deal with it, if you please.

My wife begged me not to come here.

Why on earth shouldn't you ask for help?

She said if I came here begging, then I wasn't a man. Not in her eyes.

But I just can't stand to hear kids crying no more.

Who laid you off? You did. Or rather, he did.

Find them something, Mr Dunwoody. Find them back on. But, my lady... Mythith.

You'll not regret.

I hope not.

Yard gates tomorrow morning, first thing, and you'll be signed on.

Mr. Dunwoody will see to it.

Ah, you're right.

I did dream of what I was going to do once.

Let me guess.

You were going to build an empire.

White colonnades on a country house.

A park.

Ships in the harbour. A whole fleet of saving ships.

Well, you did most of it, didn't you?

I did some of it, aye.

Our father was a ship's chandler.

But he left everything to me brother Robert.

I worked myself up to captain.

I did nearly build an empire.

Then I lost it.

Now I'm building it again.

It's something.

It's not enough.

I've got responsibilities.

Men to keep and work, ships to maintain, cargos to find.

Letty never really wanted to share that part with me.

Well, no.

The truth is I never asked her to share it with me.

My wife died eight months since and I've never spoken of it till now.

Not to anyone.

When both my husband and son died, I could not talk.

But then it was work to do. Work for my father. For the people of our country.

My father said that dreams and wishes are like a plant.

You water a plant, and it will grow.

You forget to water, and it may die.

Or it may just stop growing for a time.

Then when water comes, it will flower again.

Corn?

My father says it just needs the right person for the dreams to come alive

again. Do you believe all that?

I believe there is one dream stronger than any.

A dream between a man and a woman.

Captain Vine says you left a white stew for me.

Mr. Dunwoody, why did I have to learn this from the newspapers?

I beg your pardon, milady? More men thrown out of work, and it specifically

mentions the Fogarty Yard here and here.

Why did I know nothing about it?

I didn't wish to bother you. I thought that... I know what you thought, that

I've given you carte blanche.

Well, I can assure you that I do not like answering the impertinent questions

journalists from the yellow presses when I don't even know the facts of the

matter. I see.

I'm sorry.

In future, let our policy be something we can present with some pride to the

outside world. I'm well aware we may have to lay off some men. Oh, we do, my

lady. But if you insist on taking them on again, as you did last week, well,

that completely weakens my position.

I had a dozen of them round here that morning asking for their jobs back. Oh,

see. You're asking me not to interfere, is that it?

Well, in a way, yes, my lady.

Mr Dunwoody.

Until you have a majority shareholding in this company, I should, if I were

do as you are asked.

Lay off single men first. Then those who are married but have no children. Those

with children will be the last to go.

That, Mr Dunwoody, is brave the lime policy.

A trap that is now understood by you as well as by that journalist I faced this

morning as I left home.

What a beautiful day it is, Mr Dawkins.

Well, Tom?

Well, he nips a bit, missus.

It's good to be home.

Yeah.

I always think that.

Then after a couple of days, I just want to get back to sea again.

Coops up ashore's not good.

Seems very quiet.

There are so few people.

Tom?

You seen Captain Baines?

Taken on men to unload, sir. Ah.

Well, tell him I've gone into the town to see Gavria Leedis.

Bye, Mrs.

Bye, Tom.

Good luck.

So, you're ready to go?

Yes, James.

We shall miss you.

I'm sorry the voyage is finished.

So you've got everything?

I will send men to collect my baggage later.

And all be ready and waiting.

Thank you for the voyage.

I hope I haven't been too much trouble.

No trouble.

I think Captain Baines will not agree with you.

Perhaps you will come to my father's house.

He would enjoy meeting with you.

And I would like to see you again.

Pleasant journey?

Pleasant enough, Gavrili, it is. I trust you found our president's daughter an

interesting companion.

How did you know about her?

If you were a trader in these parts, you would make it your business to know

everything before everyone else.

Or you'd end up with a cutthroat or worse.

An empty safe.

Did she say why she comes back?

To see her father.

Enough sugar.

Why? Is it important?

Oh, now, come on.

I've known you a long time.

Maybe later, old friend. Just for now.

Don't unload your cargo.

Too late.

Already on the quayside.

Then get it back aboard.

No one's paying for it here.

Nobody's what?

Oh, now, come on.

You said cash. Cash on the nail.

If I can't get cash from the merchant, how can I give you cash?

You just tell him I want my money.

You've met the president's daughter.

He had a wife, God bless her soul.

And the wife had a brother, and that one's the merchant who's got your money.

I don't give a damn who it is.

Look, be a good chap. Take your cargo and quietly sail away from Guyana. It

be the wife who'll believe an old friend.

I've never yet taken a cargo back on board, and I'm not about to start now.

James, there is a problem here.

What problem?

Don't stir the pot.

You stay in business here by keeping quiet. People leave a poor Greek alone

turn a penny that way.

You expect me to leave a car back there that's not paid for?

Now, listen.

If you sell this afternoon, I give you a package today. Something of value and

of profit to you. No, you listen to me.

I'm owed money.

And I want pay before I go anywhere.

Jim!

There isn't a damn stevedore in sight.

They unloaded, took their pay and went.

I've a cargo on that dockside.

Now, somebody's got to pay for it. Who?

The merchant.

He's got a brother -in -law, a President Juarez.

So, I start at the top.

Captain O 'Neill?

I'm Quarry.

My daughter said that you might call.

Aye. Oh, I'm here.

I wish I could be pleased to have brought her back.

Well, actually, sir, I came here to see you about one of your other relatives.

Your brother -in -law.

He owes me.

Money.

There's a cargo on the dockside not paid for.

Please, sit down.

Will you have a cool drink?

Oh, thank you.

I thought maybe...

You could point out to him his forgetfulness.

Put some pressure to bear on him.

Not on him.

Not now.

No. What do you mean, not now?

I have very little time.

There is going to be an attempt to overthrow my regime.

I sent my daughter away because I knew of it.

Did you tell her?

Would she have gone had she known?

No. My brother -in -law is ambitious and ruthless.

Ah, well, that's none of my business. I'm a sailor, not a politician. I really

don't want to get involved.

You already are involved.

If they're successful, they'll find a convenient wall for me and possibly for

her. Your ship will be impounded.

They will say you must be involved if you brought my daughter back.

So I want you to take her away.

Oh, well, she's made her choice.

Do you have children?

I have a daughter.

We fathers have two loyalties.

One to our country, the other to our child.

Our blood.

Which is the stronger?

Well, I'm the wrong person to answer that.

If you love your daughter so, you will understand what Margarita means to me.

She chose to come back to be with me.

The road to the White Wall at noon is not one she should walk.

James. You didn't tell me, did you?

I have a ship and crew in that harbour. A cargo not paid for. Now I find I'm in

the middle of a revolution. Why didn't you tell me? I didn't know, James.

Why were you in such a hurry to get home?

There have been times like this before.

He wants me to take you away.

Does he?

He wants me to persuade you.

Please, don't try, James.

I'm not afraid to stay.

My father needs me with him.

Margarita, you are in great danger.

You think I'm afraid of danger?

I will tell you something.

I was married when I was 18.

When my husband and child were killed in the last revolution, I carried them

through the jungle.

I wanted them to be buried properly by a priest.

So do not warn me to be afraid of danger, James O 'Neill.

I know what I am doing.

You leave 20 men in me into danger without so much as a word of warning,

have the gall to tell me you know what you're doing?

Maybe you knew all along.

Well, now that I've found a way out for my men, I must see them rot in some

jail. James, I'm sorry.

So am I.

What do you think?

It's been underwater for years.

Well, of course it has. But could it be one of his?

Morgan's?

Well... I've seen some cannons, Captain, but never one as old and rusted as this

before.

See here and here, all out the way with rust. And inside the barrel, yeah.

But is it old enough?

I wouldn't like to fire it, Captain, and that's a fact. No one's asking you to

fire it. But could it be old enough to be Morgan's?

Maybe.

Could be.

Yeah.

Ahoy, below!

There's some soldiers down by the steps, Captain Bain.

Aye.

Meadows, Adams, Baker, look lively there.

Austin, Parkin, bring in that gangplank.

Keep watching, Tom!

There is nothing there.

Not a penny.

Look.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Would you leave her, Baines, knowing she'd be shot if she's lucky?

It was her choice. She must have known what she was coming back to. She told me

she didn't know.

Oh, fiddlestick. Well, I don't want her shot, whatever the truth.

Well, I don't like women aboard ship, and that woman is damn stubborn.

She's brave, more like.

Sometimes not much to choose between the two, Tom.

Right, then.

We keep a man up aloft.

Two extra men on watch.

Get the ship ready for sailing.

Only so as nothing shows from ashore.

Why wait?

Five minutes, we get up, sail, cut and go.

Because I want to find something out first, Baines.

I'm going into the town at first light.

He's going to get himself killed.

But can't you tell him, Master?

I mean, he's not going back there to get the cash row, no, is he? That's none of

your business, boy. He's going for that woman.

You know he is.

What I know and what I talk about, Tom, are two different things. Come, Baines!

There's someone coming across the quay!

Captain Eden, there's a man coming to the quayside. Captain Baines can deal

it. Hi, sir.

Tom, I've got some work for you. You can refuse if you want to.

Go with you, sir.

You are come. I must speak to him.

I must.

This man insists on speaking to you, sir. I'm trying to tell him. James,

mad. You should have left by now.

The rebels took over at three in the morning. They already came to my place

smashed it up. I tell you, you must leave.

Where's the president?

In his house, but the rebels will soon take over the house, him and his

daughter. It's too late to do anything for them now.

So I have something for you to sell for me when you get back.

Emeralds. Put the money in an English bank. You can have 15%, but only if you

sell now.

I'll go when I'm good and ready. Anyway, if you want to send these emeralds, you

have no choice but to use my ship.

Now, how about you? I shall survive once they are sure I've got nothing of

value. I think you'd survive anywhere, Petros. I hope so. Now, listen, James.

They will stop all ships entering and leaving by midday. It's happened before.

So have about three hours to make up your mind and go.

Go when I'm ready.

By this evening, they will have executed the president. They will make a public

show of it. They will tell people he's been cheating them for years.

Is it true?

I don't know if it's true or not. That's his business and God's now.

Luke, go now, please. No, I'm going ashore first.

Captain Baines.

Full moon sharp. You cut loose the ship.

You then take her out to sea.

Right. You then sail her home.

Right.

You should have gone with him, my dear. No.

My guards will save their own scheme when the time comes. It's only natural.

Looks like we're too late.

Hold it.

Some

of

your guards have surrendered.

Soon they will come for us.

You've a minute to make up your mind. Either you stay here or you come with

We can't. I'm talking to the president.

Father, don't listen to him, please. I will stay.

I cannot go on, Eden.

My blood.

Our children. You didn't mean a word of it.

Well, you might want to be a master, but what about her?

Save her.

She won't go without you.

What is your decision?

She could be dead by now.

I told him the president can escape and that my brother -in -law has offered 10

,000 ducats for anyone who can find him dead or alive.

One minute.

Ready with the axe.

Cut it!

Get the head, Sultan!

Let the wind take her out!

We'll soon be out of range.

Hard as starboard, Helmsman.

She's broken about.

She's seen us.

Change course, Topper. Okay.

They hadn't every blow to kingdom come.

We've got to do something about it.

Turner, will that cannon of mine fire?

That's what I told you.

I know that man, but will it fire?

Aye. Damn it, Captain, that'll be one of Morgan's cannons.

Look,

we've got to take a chance.

I mean, if we don't put that cannon out of action, he's going to blow Captain

Eden right out of the water.

Can't it, sir?

We'll get some powder.

Change course again.

Change course, Tom.

I got him.

They're there.

Got him?

Did you hit him?

Old Navy gunner, me, sir.

Does not wear this, lest every man die.

I'm on my booty.
