Original subtitles

The Dutch had caught fire just after leaving Liverpool.

So, Elizabeth arranged for us to carry her cargo to the East Indies. She is

clever, Isabel, yes?

Oh, aye, she was scuttling us first down to the agent while the competitors were

still watching the smoke go up.

I think she does not like me.

Oh, yes, she will do.

You had something to ask me.

Oh, yes.

How would you feel?

If instead of going to Salton for our honeymoon, we went to Sumatra.

Salton, Sumatra, for the ends of the world.

All I want is that we are together.

But she knows nothing at all of the business world.

A wife doesn't need to understand her husband's business.

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

She's better able to take his mind off his work when he gets home in the

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

Oh, yes, indeed.

The Spanish are well noted for their...

They're fiery natures, you mean?

Something like that, yes.

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

Far from it.

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

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

And her impotence on calling me Isabel doesn't help matters.

Perhaps she finds Elizabeth difficult to say. Don't be ridiculous.

Well, they do pronounce their words differently, don't they?

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

It's the way she says it, too, in the soft, liquid tone.

Yes, I must say, I think Isabel does sound most attractive.

Not to my ears, it doesn't.

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

I must say, you wouldn't think so, seeing them together. Oh, it's the old

The grieving widower losing his head over the first pretty face that looks

way. Oh, come now, Uncle James, that's so level -headed.

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

Religion. Well, can you think of anything more ridiculous, the bride and

in church and us waiting here?

To tell you the truth, Aunt Elizabeth, I thought it admirably tactful of Uncle

James not to ask us to attend the ceremony.

It makes his bride feel less conscious of the fact that none of her family were

able to be present.

And, of course, at the same time, it's absolved us from any discomfort we may

have felt in having to witness a Catholic ceremony.

You're determined to be difficult.

Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt, I wasn't meaning to be.

Captain Bates.

Captain Bates, how nice to see you.

Have you finished loading?

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

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

to sail with you.

Well, on his honeymoon.

This is your home.

They're just guests.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Parties, congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Congratulations to you too, Margarita.

I suppose I should call you aunt. Oh, I hope not.

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

Thank you.

Congratulations, James.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

My congratulations to you, Margarita.

Thank you, Isabelle.

If you would both kindly excuse me.

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

She calls you Isabelle. No, please!

Samuel has explained about the pronunciation being different and that

the Spanish equivalent. Isabel? What's her mother's name?

I didn't know that.

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

Ever since we've come home, you've gone out of your way to avoid her. Now, why?

She despises me. Despises you? Oh, I know she tries not to show it, but I can

see the contempt every time she looks at me. She admires you.

She said so only a few minutes ago, and she meant it.

The fault is with me.

I compare myself with her unfavourably.

She'll be a good wife to you, James.

The kind of wife I should have been to Daniel.

Yeah. You know what I think?

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

Not yet.

Yes, I can look after things here.

And what about the East Indies, Benji? Yeah, I can wait. They can't wait, you

said yourself. The only way to pay back our debts is to find this new trade. And

there are some fine cargoes in those Java ports. And the Dutch have fought

for those cargoes. They're not going to give up their trade that easily.

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

surely?

We need to get cargoes in and out of those ports to make the whole venture

worthwhile. So you said you'd find a way? Aye.

So far, I haven't.

I think I'm beginning to understand.

Understand what? Why you want to pack me off to Turkey.

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

know the reason.

She doesn't want to go.

She does want to go.

To Socomo, Sumatra.

Or the ends of the world, she said.

So long as we're together.

I should have known that would be her attitude.

Able semen kettle, Captain.

Certificate of discharge.

Certificate of discharge?

Yes.

It's given to a seaman at the end of a voyage. Then he has to present it to his

next master.

Character for ability, very good.

Character for conduct... Fair.

Well, may it drove us hard last trip, Captain.

Bit hasty with me hands now and again.

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

All right.

Sign here.

Next, man.

Jackie.

I had these standards in mind. What do you reckon?

Beg pardon, Captain?

You want to tell me how to run my ship and how to treat my crew?

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

Is he a bad seaman?

No.

No, he's really good.

Only he's a union leader.

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

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

The one who does and doesn't mind cutting his own fruit before the voyage

done. Go on, get out.

Next man.

Are we to snatch the bread from the mouths of his family simply because he

his fellow men before himself?

The captain signs on the crew.

But you are the owner, James.

I thought you would be more just.

Chuck Avery!

Bates, I'd like you to reconsider your decision.

Are you telling me to?

I sign off.

Tiger Tyrrell.

He's got more blood on his hands than all the murderers who ever escaped, you

know.

Why fine on a troublemaker like Tyrrell when there's plenty of other bosuns to

be had?

The master signs his crew least ways he's supposed to. Any trouble from Jack

Avery and Tiger will eat him raw.

You can give the sailmaker another job.

Eh?

Well, making a canvas coffin.

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

Yeah.

There's just talk.

I mean, there's nothing ever been proved against him. Ah, that's because the

master's always on his side. As this one will be.

Coming to bed.

Yes, I am.

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

On watch.

On watch?

On my wedding night?

Well, that's what they said.

Said? The owner is always on watch until four bells.

I heard the men talking on deck.

Don't ask Captain Baines what four bells meant.

He said two o 'clock in the morning.

What are you smiling at?

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

What?

You mean they intended me to overhear them?

Well, I do not think it is something to smile at. Well, I'll have a sharp word

to say to them tomorrow.

The English humor.

You will have to help me to understand it.

You do not regret.

Regret?

Marrying with me.

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

More humor?

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

ask me, do I regret marrying you not ten hours after leaving the church?

You know what I mean.

Do I?

Did you consider it well enough before you asked me?

Ten months.

That is all.

You've been listening to the Liverpool tongues wagging.

Yes, but I didn't need to.

The question was already in my own mind.

If I was right for you.

Why do you wait until now to bring it up?

I was afraid I might lose you.

I loved you so much, and I wanted you to be mine.

Was that so very wrong of me?

No, I don't know.

I don't very much care.

You mentioned the storage of cargoes in Singapore.

Warehousing, as we all know, can be an expensive item.

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

Buy two ships, my lady?

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

might I remind you, Mr Dawkins, that the whole purpose of this venture is to

repay our debts.

Now, the two ships we intend to buy are merely hulks, floating warehouses for

the storage of our cargoes in Singapore.

Well, even hulks have to be bought, my lady. Yes, indeed, Mr. Dunwoody. My

brother will, of course, buy them in Singapore, and the cost of the two ships

will be debited to the new company.

New company, my lady?

Oh, for dealing solely with this new trade.

Is something troubling either of you, or perhaps both of you?

Well, uh...

The business of the Javanese ports under Dutch control. We were discussing the

difficulty just before you arrived.

Mr Dawkins is of the opinion that Mr O 'Neill will almost certainly have a

scheme in hand to overcome the problem.

He does have a scheme in hand, yes.

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

My lady, might I ask where we are to get the money for the cost of all this? Of

course you may ask. I'm sure Mr O 'Neill dealt with that matter before he

sailed. Yes, he did.

He left it to me to find the money.

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

Indies? Only that it mightn't come to anything at all.

Something about the difficulties of getting in and out of the ports under

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

course. Well, that's true.

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

could just tell me what it was you wanted to speak to me about. Oh,

sake, don't look at it again.

I'm sorry.

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

Can you see the chart from there?

We need to buy two ships.

Two Hulks, that is, for warehousing in Singapore.

Singapore is just here.

Yes, my geography isn't that bad.

So I assume you want to borrow the money from me for all this. I'm sorry, it

does seem to be becoming rather a habit, doesn't it?

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

With the...

Setting up of the new company, the cost of the two hulks and other incidentals.

We shall need 20 ,000 pounds.

That's not asking too much, then?

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

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

Ah, willing, yes.

But I'm not in a position to be able to lend it to you. Not in a position?

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

other. You said nothing to me about a strike.

No, you didn't give me a chance.

Then you telephoned. You were so anxious that we should talk here.

Well, what am I going to do? James is depending on me to find that money and

set up the company while he's making the voyage.

Well, I must go.

I'm sorry about the money.

Good night, Aunt.

Good night, Samuel.

wife, eh?

You take after your father, eh?

Lazy, clever -tongued womanizer.

He told me about the likes of you.

How he suffered at your hands.

I see.

Looking for revenge, are we?

My father relieved his own sufferings by making us suffer.

My mother and me.

He died three weeks ago.

I didn't shed a tear for him.

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

Sorry to disappoint you, Tiger.

If he lays into me like that,

I'll kill him.

The dispute settled then?

Yes, thank goodness.

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

I think I might be able to, yes.

Might? This new company you're forming.

Yes. I'd like to have a share in it. Say, 30%. Sorry, can't be done.

In that case, Aunt Elizabeth, I can't possibly lend you the money.

20.

You and James and I will all hold 20 % of the shares each.

And who holds the other 40 %?

One step at a time. Sam, you'll know who holds anything yet.

With a very thousand dollars of underrated.

My father was very fond of gardening.

Now my brother Theodore looks after it, when he's not poring over the company's

ledgers. So your father founded the shipping company?

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

Theodore and I were both born here, and we've lived here ever since.

It is very kind of you to entertain us like this. It was my brother's thought.

When we heard from our agent in Liverpool that Mr. O 'Neill's sister,

Fogarty, that she had taken the trouble to visit the injured seaman from our

ship, the least we could do in return was to entertain you on your arrival

Oh, you will have some more coffee, I'm sure. Thank you, Mr. Valderrada.

Oh, please.

We have known each other almost three hours.

Please, call me Max.

Very well, Max.

And you are?

Margarita.

Margarita. How it suits you.

Please.

You were born in Spain?

No, in South America, in Gallardo.

My father was the president until three months ago.

He was killed by rebels.

I sense the tragedy.

Strange, is it not? Our tragedy sits upon us like a halo for all to see.

My parents died when I was ten years old.

Theodore was almost four.

My father had taken my mother sailing. A rare event.

My mother was not fond of the sea. It frightened her.

A storm came up.

The boat overturned.

They were both drowned out there in the bay.

Thank you.

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

You know, sitting here like this with a beautiful woman is the only time that I

am truly content.

And yet... What about Theodore?

Is he married?

Theodore.

Poor Theodore.

Women frighten him to death, and yet he falls in love with every woman that he

meets.

It's true, I tell you.

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

don't believe you. Then watch him, the way he looks at you, the way he doesn't

look at you.

You are longing to be unloaded and setting sail for Liverpool, are you not?

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

Yes, I am.

But we shall not be sailing for several weeks.

James has some business here.

Ah, here comes Theodore.

Ah, just see how much he admires you.

Ah, my dear.

Ah.

Thank you, Theodore.

They are very beautiful.

Please, Mr. O 'Neill, sit down. Captain Baines.

Well, uh...

I will have them put in water.

Tell him it's time for you to leave.

Thank you.

A lovely view of the bay you have here, sir.

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

Of course, we have become used to it, and so we do not appreciate it as much

we should. Captain Baines, have a cigar.

Thank you.

Mr. O 'Neill?

Oh, thank you.

Your brother was telling us about the collision in Singapore.

Yes, I'm afraid that involved us in some very costly and wearisome legal

proceedings. And then, just four months ago, we lost our newest and most

expensive steamer ship in a storm.

I must tell you, Mr. O 'Neill, that when I heard the news from Liverpool that

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

that my father had never gone into it.

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

such a calamity.

Indeed.

But then, of course, Had I been in your place, I would have done the same thing.

Had I been that much in need of a cargo.

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

opportunity it afforded.

Aye, I am here looking for new trade.

Captain Bain, you will have some coffee.

Oh, thank you.

I must compliment you on your cigars. I don't think I've tasted finer tobacco.

It comes from the north of the island.

We've had a contract with the growers for many years now. We ship it all over

the world.

We have to charge them an especially low freight rate in order to avoid

competition. You used to? I mean, you've had to increase your rates. I'm afraid

so. Since losing the case over the collision, and then...

finding ourselves faced with the enormous costs of it, and losing two of

largest ships.

Can I?

Can I sit, Jeff?

That is.

May I offer you the use of our carriage tomorrow, that you may look at the

places of interest?

Well, that's very kind of you, Mr.

Vandereider. Very kind.

We would be delighted to accept.

I could, if you wish, act as guide.

Thank you.

Good night, sir. Thank you, Graham.

Poor Theodore.

He is just like a small boy.

Did he tell you about his mother and father?

No.

No, he did not.

When he was very young, they were both drowned here in this bay.

Wasn't it kind of him to offer us the use of his carriage tomorrow?

I shan't be coming.

I made my excuses to Theodore before I left. Oh, why didn't you tell me?

Well, I thought you mightn't want to go if I weren't going. Well, of course I

wouldn't want to go.

Well, there's no reason why you shouldn't. Here, you'll enjoy the sights

Baines will be with you.

Why aren't you coming?

I've got some business to attend to.

Are you seeing the tobacco growers?

Yes.

James, Max and Theodore are being so kind to us.

Kind?

Cunning, maybe.

Cunning?

The only reason Max was entertaining us was to find out what I was up to.

He did say he'd heard from his agent in Liverpool. He told him, no doubt, that

when the ship sailed, the owner was aboard.

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

And he was anxious to know how long we'd be staying here. If Max could solve his

financial problems by sinking me, he wouldn't hesitate either.

I see.

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

his carriage...

Hugh will be bidding for their tobacco contract.

Look, Marguerite.

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

You sink us today, we pop up again tomorrow.

I know.

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

It's Theodore.

I saw from that letter there's nothing to report, Captain.

Egypt, good day. It's Archie there.

Mr. Vander Raider.

Sorry, Captain.

And two nicer gentlemen you couldn't meet. One of them was promised to show

places of interest tomorrow.

Good news, is it?

It could be.

Next quarter day. Now, let's see, a week to unload, and then I need a fast

passage home.

Eleven weeks.

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

Why the hurry?

We might, with the help of Tiger's rope's end.

It depends on this...

You trade them, Mr. O 'Neill.

He never told me anything about it. What no trade?

How long is it going to take?

That's the question.

Mr. O 'Neill.

Ah, Vanderey there. I called at your office, but you had left.

What was it you wanted?

I came because I thought it only right and proper to tell you that I had a

meeting with the tobacco growers this morning.

That's most considerate. And I undercut your rate by two shillings a ton.

And they told you that they would consider your offer.

Did you really expect them to cast aside so many years of a trusting

relationship with an old established firm to take their chance with a total

stranger? And for what?

Just for the sake of a few shillings?

Why, ask me.

You were there this afternoon and had to undercut my rate by another sixpence a

ton.

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

Your company's in no position to risk carrying that tobacco at a loss. Neither

is yours.

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

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

What?

Oh, well, good evening.

I've just taken Mrs. O 'Neill and Captain Burns back to your ship.

Thank you, Theodore.

I met one of the growers, Bogart, just half an hour ago.

Well, what is it?

A contract for our tobacco... How much of it have you taken?

Oh, I have left you some.

And how much are you carrying it for?

Same rate as you, 78 and 6 minutes a ton. If you didn't undercut me, how did

get this contract?

It seems that most of the growers are short of field workers.

And what have you promised them? I promised them all the field workers that

they'd leave it.

I'm from Singapore.

You see, I take their tobacco to Singapore, where I store it in my

readiness for my steamers to carry it to England.

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

Free of charge?

Aye. You fool.

You'll be ruined.

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

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

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

Goodbye, Matt.

There they are.

Damn the growers.

The mean grasping.

We'll send our ships down to Java ports.

And Eden won't be able to cut us there.

His ships can't get in and out of those ports.

They're under Dutch control.

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

They fought for centuries for the trade in those ports. They're not just going

to hand it all over to James and Eden.

Not all of it, no.

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

I think perhaps I'd better explain.

Well, it's about jolly well time you did, Aunt.

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

Well, I don't see what difference that makes to Uncle James getting in and out

of the Dutch -controlled ports. Oh, it does. It makes all the difference.

You see, the new company is called the Rotterdam O 'Neden Company, and that

other 40 % is owned by Dutch investors.

Uncle James.

Cunning devil.

That's one of our ships.

First of the feeder ships from Liverpool.

She's flying the Dutch flag. That's right.

It's registered with our new company.

Aye.

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

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

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

In a day or two.

Mrs. O 'Neill and myself are having a little holiday.

Doesn't look as if you're going to be in Liverpool for your whatever it is,

Captain.

I'll soon see to that.

Can't wait to be sailing, eh, Booth?

No, sir. I can't.

Well, when we do sail, I want you to drive this crew like no crew has ever

driven before. Do you understand?

Aye, aye, Captain.

He undercuts us in every port.

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

Obviously, we are both chasing the most lucrative cargoes. Ah, the man is bent

on our ruin.

What have you got there?

I spent the afternoon bringing the pants up to date.

Our costs have risen rather more alarmingly than I anticipated.

Damn indeed, and I damn you too. I don't need your figures to tell me what he's

doing to us.

If you came to me with some answer to this blunder, or some glimmer of an idea

how we could put a stop to his schemes, but you... You come to me with figures,

just like you used to come to with father.

Remember? No, I don't suppose you do. You were too young.

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

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

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

And now, when misfortune strikes...

And him, damn him, and Eden, all he can do is sit there and count our losses.

You are a dead weight round my neck, Theodore, and you always have been.

This island.

This house.

Everything I see here.

Everything I...

I remember having seen since I was a boy.

I think that I've always hated it all.

Why, my failure all my life.

Well, need it.

That's done us a good turn, do you realize that?

He's not driving us out.

He's releasing us.

What do you say?

We have got to leave this place.

Make a fresh start.

There is no other up.

Me? This house?

Well, what would you have us do?

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

No. We'll get out while we still can.

We'll sell this house.

And the office. And the warehouses. And how many ships it takes to cover our

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

civilized part of the world.

Theater, bring in those accounts.

It's up to my plan, eh?

The sink's full of vials of it. Mr. Wilson, all hands to crowd up there.

Come back,

sir.

Tyrrell's driving them a bit hard this trip, isn't he?

That's my business.

All hands on deck to make sail.

Curse that devil.

He was just drifting off nicely.

I'll be ready if that rope fends him just once more. I'm off to see the old

That'll do you no good.

The old man who signed him on.

To keep you from standing up for his rights.

That man is standing up your dumper over this trip.

All hands are set.

Get down there.

One more beating for any one of us.

We do our life as we do.

Kettle! When I call for all atoms, I want you to come running, not crawling.

It's none of my business.

It's up to the master to interfere if he thinks his bosun is driving the crew

too hard.

But, James, you are the owner of the ship.

I might be.

Considered to be your owner.

My owner?

Because you married me.

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

But he has the right to make his own decisions, just as you have the right to

make yours.

Yes, I do see.

You must not interfere.

I'll ask you again, Jack Avery.

Are you with us in this?

No, I am not a man for violence.

An owner's man, eh?

Ever since his new wife spoke up for you. What does that mean?

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

Peculiar one, that, ain't it?

Strong union, man.

Here, by invitation of the owner's wife. Aye.

and us having to suffer for it with broken bodies.

And you, Jack Avery, not even willing to help us in the remedy. It is no remedy,

that's why.

Oh, yes, well, it will be.

Or they'll beat him so hard he'll not dare raise hand to anyone on us again.

All hands on deck!

All hands on deck!

Remember what I said.

We all go for it together.

And if you want no part of this, Jackie Avery, you best hide yourself away in a

corner, like all the other ships, right?

What's going on here?

A call for all hands.

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

Well, what's the matter with you two?

All together, I've said, didn't I?

All together for what, Kettle?

For this!

So,

it's inspiring a mutiny today, Kettle.

Well, you know me.

I'm not one for tales to the captain.

I'll deal with you myself.

Thanks for you, Jackie.

Every... Well, Kettle, I think he's dead.

You're right.

You know it isn't gonna be done.

What'll happen now?

You let us down this time, Cruddy, and you'll go over the side the next day.

Say nothing.

Whatever questions you ask, there'll be not one word from any one of us.

This time, Jack Avery, I know you'll want to be with us.

I'll ask again.

What happened?

It's your responsibility.

Right. You deal with it.

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

Chipmates to the very end, eh? Will I tell you this much?

The judging court will be on your side.

He'll help you to an eternity of silence, because he'll have no option

hang the lot of you.

Jack Avery.

You're the one, eh?

I mean, you're the one who thought up this vow of silence. It's your sort of

caper.

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

Not Crabbe.

I doubt your own mother would trouble to protect you, would she, Crab?

You Larson?

Nah.

You'd lap up all the punishment Tiger could give you without a murmur of

protest.

Right then.

Kettle.

Now, suppose you tell me just how it happened.

The pig is dead?

Soon he'll be in his rightful place, sewn in canvas, and join in all the good

semen he sent to their salty graves.

Oh, bold words to break a vow with.

And just too bold for a man with the guilt of murder on his conscience.

Crabbe, Larson.

Yes, Captain?

Take Jack Avery below and put him in irons.

I've never heard of that injustice.

How could he possibly know the man was guilty?

He doesn't know. Doesn't know?

And yet he locks him up. And when we get back to England, he will be tried and

very possibly hung.

And you.

You must not interfere.

Marguerite. Don't say it.

If I had not interfered when Captain Baines was planning on his crew, Jack

would not be sailing with us. Yeah.

It's true.

If that man is hung, it will be my fault.

Tiger's wife and children.

Whether he treated them like he treated his crews at sea, the devil only knows.

One thing I do know, the good Lord above won't provide for his family. Now he's

gone. And I'm charging you with that task, Jack Avery. Me?

Yeah. I spoke to Kettle and the others. They share your guilt.

And they're going to share in providing for that woman and her children.

It'll give you as a union man the chance to put your organizing ability to some

useful purpose.

You'll arrange to collect the money and deliver it at regular intervals. But,

Captain, I'm under arrest. There's no doubt she'll be on the key along with

other wives. And when you're passing, you can break the bad news to her.

Tell her there was no pain.

All over Suddenlight, he fell from the topmost.

Thank you.

Captain, go on.

Forgive me, Captain.

I should not have been listening.

Excuse me, ma 'am. I have some business ashore.

Captain Baines.

Yes?

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

I doubted your judgment.

What a fool I was.

Can you forgive me?

Mrs. Dunedin, I hope you'll forgive me that it wasn't a pleasant voyage for a

honeymoon.

Goodbye, ma 'am.

Margarita, Jane, how nice to see you both again.

We are glad to see you again, Isabelle. You're looking very well, Isabelle. Aye,

and so I should.

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

this evening to welcome you home.

Welcome home, Margarita.

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

Isabel, how beautiful you look.

Thank you, Margarita.

James. Elizabeth.

Thanks.

Margarita.

Who need in?

Vandera, what brings you to England?

You were right, Isabel.

This is a surprise.

Max is in the process of selling up in Sumatra.

I found him a house, now he's looking for an office.

So, how long have you been in Liverpool, eh?

Five days.

Thinking of starting a business here?

With the kind assistance of your sister, she has made me most welcome.

What about Theodore?

He came with you, of course.

No, Theodore did not come with me.

Theodore? Max's brother.

You didn't tell me you had a brother.

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

I thought you would have heard before you left for Java, but obviously you

didn't. Heard what?

My brother died.

What to say?

He was such a fine man.

I didn't know him, of course, but I must say how sorry I am.

That is kind of you.

What happened?

How did you... He drowned himself in the bay.
