Madagascar.

For centuries, the bloodiest cockpit of

all the seas, where the infamous

brotherhood of the damned waited to

plunder the treasure laden gallions from

India and cafe, then returned drunk with

slaughter to their pirate stronghold of

last hope. Most ruthless of all was

Captain William Kidd. He encountered the

great London gallium the twel apostles

commanded by Admiral Lord Blaine and

approaching unsuspected in the guise of

a peaceful merchant by a sudden

treacherous salvo he reduced her to a

burning hulk. When night fell the twel

apostles was only a blazing funeral p on

the placid surface of a Madagascar

lagoon.

>> Stab me. There's a pretty sight. It'll

be prettier still when the fire reaches

the magazine, Captain.

>> Really though, lots of stout seammen

among them. They've been with us a long

time.

>> We can none of us live forever, Mr.

Boil. Dead men don't talk. Man, your

odds, we got this job to do before high

tide.

Hey,

there. And dig fast. If the tide catches

his head, it'll save the king's hangman

from the rope.

There you are. Deep enough to bury a man

in. Give us a hammer.

All righty, Captain.

>> Down she goes.

>> What are you waiting for?

>> Well, Captain, that chest's been in

cabin a longish time, and we all thought

as it wouldn't do no harm to open up

that chest and make sure that what was

in it then is in it now.

>> I suppose you remember what was in it. I

I remember an emerald necklace that came

off that Portuguese ship, Elvgar,

>> and all those pearls that we took from

the big ship, the Virgin Queen. I

remember a diamond medallion we got from

that Morish canyon off Madagascar.

>> And could we ever forget that silver

casket with the arms of Lord Blaine that

you claimed for yourself after the

taking of the 12 apostles? Sir,

>> your neck will be stretched as long as

your memory one of these days.

satisfied. Gallows meat. Put him back.

Louder away.

What's the matter?

>> Wait a minute, Captain. There's

something else you forgot.

>> What do you want now? We've got but half

an hour before the tide traps us.

>> That's as may be, sir. We're all equal

in this. I take it.

>> Equal shares. Yes.

>> Well, that key then. What you put back

in your belt? That goes down with a

chest. Thus, we starts all clear and no

favors. And if some of us don't get

back, it'll be that much easier open for

them as does. Question me honor again,

would you? I'll rip you from belly to

chine.

Are we such callous rascals that we'd

leave a dead comrade without commending

his soul to his new master?

Here

lith one who through treachery and

avarice would have placed in jeopardy

the lives of honest men. And here may he

lie forever in the sands of Madagascar.

Rest in peace.

It's time to be up, lad. It's time to be

away.

If a gentleman's a gentleman, he's a

gentleman. That's all there is to it,

sir.

>> I'm one of nature's gentlemen, but I

need polish, my good man. If I'm to

improve myself,

>> gentleman employs the terminology, my

good man, only when addressing lower

servants or is inferior, sir.

>> You see, that's why I need you.

My upbringing,

the gentleman never sucks his teeth,

sir. Many a man's social career has been

ruined by lesser.

>> You seem to know your business. I want

the best smile, and I can pay for it.

100 quid a year. An infallible mark of

the person of quality is his reluctance

to pay his domestics high wages.

>> Don't say so.

>> Merely an idiosyncrasy of good breeding.

Sir,

>> 60 quid a year. Then

>> you realize I've never been on board a

ship before, sir. Oh, don't let that

frighten you.

>> To the contrary. In fact, since I was a

nipper, I've had rather an adventurous

inclination toward life on the bound in

mind. It should be quite educational,

sir. You'll learn a lot, no doubt.

Is it a bargain then? Very well, son. My

hand on it.

Oh.

Then it is your proposal, my lord

Bellamament, that Captain Pid

sail to meet our ambassador, Lord

Fosworth, and give him a safe convoy

through the parrot waters of Madagascar.

>> May I please your majesty? Yes.

>> That needs a bold and adventurous man.

Bring in this Captain Kid while we take

the measure of him.

>> Captain William Kid,

>> your royal majesty

noble lords.

Belmont, is this your roaring killer of

Spanish buccaneers?

>> Mim lad, I am only a peaceful shipmaster

who must trade with other ships without

inquiring too closely about their

business. And it was so I fell into the

hands of the twel apostles, a kingship

turned pirate

>> in Madagascar waters.

>> I have never been in Madagascar waters,

your grace. It was off the southern tip

of Africa where I had gone to trade an

elephant's teeth.

>> Who commanded her?

One of your admirals, your majesty,

name of Lord Blaine.

>> He deterred pirate then

>> sufficiently lad to put fear in honest

traders like myself.

>> And if you are successful in this

voyage, captain, what reward do you

expect? May it please your majesty,

having forfeited me honor, and that I

was forced to strike me colorless to a

pirate, I want no reward but to regain

it in the service of your majesty,

unless it be or is it true that Lord

Blaine's lands are restreated and his

title forfeit?

>> Yes. All well, all I ask is that if I

lay this renegade nobleman by the heels,

is that you honor the humble self with

his castle and his lands?

>> Is that all you want, Captain Kid?

>> Not a farten moore, your majesty. The

fellow treats of a title so lightly he

must be bursting with noble blood,

though I confess he keeps it well hid. I

sir, you can no more judge of a man by

his appearance than you can judge the

extent of a nobleman's brains by the

expensiveness of his will.

>> Am I to suppose that the captain of the

king's guard would dain defense with me?

>> Come, Captain. Is your courage less than

your wit?

>> N sir, I know nothing of uh fence.

You must come at me quickly as though

you'd kill me.

>> Very well then.

>> I ask pardon, sir. I have a hot head

when roused. I only meant to

demonstrate.

>> And to good purpose, Captain.

>> Your majesty is satisfied with a captain

of our choosing.

>> I can think of none better.

>> I thank you, sir.

And now, captain,

the main mission of your cruise will be

to meet a great ship, the Quida

Merchant, which is sailing from India

with vast treasures, and to give her

safe conduct in my name, past the pirate

waters of Madagascar. But your majesty,

will her commander accept me letter of

marker sufficient authority to

>> You shall have a letter to our

ambassador, Lord Cosworth, who is

returning her that he is to accept your

protection

>> and to submit to all matters pertaining

to the safety of the ship and her

treasure.

>> Oh yes.

>> And now s

me crew.

>> Your crew?

>> Captain Kid wishes to recruit a crew

from the pirates. And now under capital

sentence in Nougat and the Marshall Sea.

>> A crew of condemned pirates.

>> I sir, there's none would be so loyal

nor fight so desperate as cutthroats

under sentence of death if they knew

that at the end of the voyage a royal

pardon would be in their pockets.

>> But I shall hold you accountable for

their good conduct. Between their

conduct and mine, your majesty, there

will be little to choose.

>> And now, goodbye.

>> And Godspeed you.

>> I am but his unworthy sparrow.

I'd rather eat the bill scum from an

African slaver.

>> Madam, don't let that temper get you the

lash again.

>> If I must hang, I'll hang. But I'll go

to the gallows with clean guts at least.

Hey, you. What kind of stinking maggots

meat is this?

>> Waters. Waters. There's that dainty

crumb mercy complaining about the taste

of the king's bounty again.

>> Watch it.

>> Bounty? Bounty me eye. The king's

allowance is trumpets a day FOR FOOD.

NOT MONTH FROM THE SEWERS IS A WHITE

CHAPEL.

>> Making trouble again. E. Mercy.

>> I'm asking only what a man's legally

entitled to. Here, smell this.

>> Delicious.

here. YOUR GOVERNOR, WHAT SORT of a

kingdom is this? Where a man's condemned

before he's heard and starved before

they hang him.

>> Who's that quarrelome fell? Adam Mercy.

He was taken in a pirate ship by his

majesty's frigot, Wasp. He's always

escaping, so that's why we keep him in

chains. He's got a lacing of tiger's

blood in him.

This ain't exactly a flower garden, is

it? Oh, forgive me, governor. These are

two of me officers. Mr. Bole, Governor

Landers. Mr. Lorenzo, Governor Landers.

Spanish blood.

A pretty lot of sinners.

>> Capitan, do you think there is anyone

down there knows us?

>> I hope not. Governor, would you be good

enough to tell them what we're here for?

>> Give heed you, you vermin. Here's news

to your advantage.

>> Is the hangman dead then? Out with a den

nasty face. Is it touch YOUR MOTHER'S

TURN INTO AN HONEST WOMAN?

>> SILENCE YOU MUTINOUS DOGS. If another

man speaks, I'll tric him up by the

thumbs and fllay him raw.

>> Governor, is that the way to win the

love of these unfortunate gentlemen?

Now then, me bullies, would you rather

do the gallows dance and hang in chains

till the crows pick your eyes from your

rotting skulls? Or would you feel the

roll of a stout ship beneath your feet

again?

>> I have a vessel, the adventure galley,

and the king's commissioned a sailor.

And for those who show a loyal and a

stout heart, there's a royal PARDON IN

THE OFFING.

WHICH OF you knows the waters of

Madagascar?

>> I do.

>> Would you have him unlocked, governor?

>> Order. Unlock him.

>> Look you then. I want men with iron in

their blood and steel in their senus.

And the first up here is the first

enlisted. Governor, if your waters are

ready, would you be good enough to have

them lower the ropes?

>> Lower away. Here

they come. Make ready, lads.

Put your hands on that. I'll make you a

free man.

The other one now.

Nice one. Come on.

Name Peter Shaft. Peter Shaft.

Regardless of the fact that I'm your

captain, you will always address a

gentleman as sir. Scum.

>> I sir.

>> Make your mark

>> on board.

Adam Mercy.

>> Oh, so it's you.

Mercy. That's a comical handle for a

blade of fortune. Mercy.

>> It's also something the world needs more

of.

>> Fire and death of philosopher. You speak

cultured. Were you by any chance stable

boy to a noble house?

>> Perhaps.

I was also master gunner to a buccaneer.

You may have heard of, Captain Avery.

>> Avery's master gunner.

We've need of a master gunner, Mr. Bo.

And from what I've heard, uh, Avery was

a shrewd hand at picking them.

The birth's yours for as long as you can

handle it.

>> I can handle it.

>> Swivel gun along, Tom. I'll forfeit a

guinea for every miss.

>> You'll forfeit your neck if you miss

while you're on my ship. Make your mark.

And you can write.

We'll give you a nice bath. You draw a

uniform befitting a master gunner

>> on board. Next man name Bartholomew,

sir.

>> Bartholomew

livven.

>> Make your mark

down below.

Captain Aboard.

>> He's over there, sir.

>> Thanks, man. That's all, sir. Our

compliments for

Poy.

I thought you

>> Yes. You thought I was dead.

>> I can hardly believe my eyes.

>> You mean you don't want to believe me?

>> Come, come, Mr. Povy. Is that kind? Or

is that fair?

>> As fair as what you did that day you

abandoned me on a behemoth reef?

>> If you please, Mr. Povy, it is not the

time to talk about that.

>> Oh, it's the time. All right. Unless you

want me to.

>> No. In which case, your present voyage

is over before it's begun.

>> No, no, no, no. Poy, Mr. Bo, would you

take over, please? Mr. Lorenzo, take the

deck watch. Come to my cabin.

My heart bleeds when I think of one of

your delicate constitution having to

fend for yourself on a coral reef. Mr.

Pope,

>> come off it, Kevin.

>> I know why you maroon me. So, there'd be

only three of you to share instead of

four.

>> It's true. A hostile wind did blow us

away from your reef.

>> Between friends, we might have sailed

back. Did exactly what you would have

done, Mr. Povy. So, no more of your

sentimental nonsense, please.

>> Now that we are four again, what then?

>> We're not four.

We're two. Boil and Lorenzo dull clouds.

>> £20,000 a piece in their hands would

only be spent in sinful ways.

>> And you propose to remove them from the

path of temptation.

>> How? A knife in the dark.

>> I'm not a violent man, Mr. Povy. I

detest violence. People have such an

awkward habit of getting in my way.

I am an ambitious man, Mr. PO an

ambitious man if he be bold enough can

carve himself a kingdom

I'm going to be a lord my friend and

that for a commoner like myself takes a

deal of money and that's why there could

be two less to share before we raise old

England again

>> you cold gutted shark

>> a flatterer

I'm glad you're back again, Mr. Py.

You've no idea how gratifying it is to

have a congenial soul to confide in.

>> Thank you.

>> Oh, there's something I want to tell

you.

I have left with a sealed letter

containing an exact and complete account

of certain previous happenings, only to

be opened in case, just in case, of

course.

You should happen to return to England

without me.

>> Of course, my dear fellow. Very sensible

of you. Now, I know you'll have a happy

voyage.

I shall, too.

I look up me quarters.

We are two of the luckiest men alive.

Just think. We are sailing for

Madagascar waters. We'll pick up the

search where we left off.

Every officer on board has a servant.

I'll request the captain to assign you

to me. Then we can be together.

>> Yes, I've spent a good many years of my

life. But see, the lady, but I doubt if

any woman minds a dash of salt, even an

appear of the realm like myself. Now, if

me lady will join me in a minuette.

>> My lady, sir, not me, lady.

>> Blast me Shadwell. Does one gentleman

creep up on another without a cough or a

spit or something to warn him?

>> I'm not a gentleman, sir. I'm a

gentleman's gentleman.

Give it about the hair.

I suppose you've tried everything.

Bears, grease,

prenatal influence perhaps.

Dinner, sir, sir.

>> Thank you, Sil. Pardon, sir. I'll show

you at your place.

>> What's all this mory? You can forget

your billwater manners for the time, Mr.

Bo. You are now officers on a king's

ships. So a man must starve while his

manners fatten.

>> I know. I know.

And in a king's ship, it is customary

for the officers to rise when the

captain enters.

That's better. Gentlemen,

be seated.

Well, well, well. What have we here?

Mhm.

>> Of course. But don't press me.

Come, Mr. Mercy, tell us something about

yourself.

>> You already know what I was of

consequence, sir.

While under Avery, I was taken by

kingship and brought to London. There I

was tried for a pirate and condemned.

>> You were innocent, of course.

>> No, sir. I was guilty. You speak above

your station.

>> How keenly to go on the account?

>> Call it love of adventure, cross in

love, a scandal, perhaps a mixing of all

three.

>> And you've seen something of the world.

>> Enough said to dislike what I've seen

and to know their small hope for a

better.

>> Perhaps you prefer the next world, Mr.

Mercy. You were close enough to it when

you were in the condemned hold of

Nougat.

But I'm keeping you from your dinner.

>> And now, gentlemen,

the toast to the king. And since

proposing it is the privilege of the

youngest present, the honor falls to Mr.

Mercy.

Mr. Mercy, we're waiting.

>> No, sir. Since I have little love for

the king, I'll neither propose his

health nor drink it.

>> Nevertheless, you are on a kingship.

>> Kingship of the devils. It's all the

same to me, sir. I owe him nothing.

>> You owe him your neck, Mr. Mercy. If it

were not for his bounty, you'd be

dancing daintily on air at whopping.

>> I owe my reprieve to you, Captain. So to

you, I'll drink him gladly, but not to

William.

>> You stand up and drink to his majesty's

health as a king's officer should, or by

fire and flame, I'll have you ship back

to Nougat on the first vessel we speak.

>> Gentlemen, the king of God bless him.

That's curious.

Do you suppose his majesty put him on

board to spy us out?

>> We found him chained to a pillar at

Nugat. It wouldn't be too hard for the

king to plant him there.

>> Yes, but why would he speak so openly

against the king?

>> Your wits are even duller than usual,

Mr. Lorenzo. Have you never heard of the

serpent that takes the color of its

background? The better to strike.

Shadwell.

>> Yes, sir.

>> You have a knowledge of highborn people

and those of the court, Shadwell, have

you ever seen Mr. mercy before?

>> Not before this void, sir.

>> He's as high of spirit as a gentleman of

quality. I like him. Uh, would you find

out who he is and where he comes from?

>> As you wish, sir. Thank you, Shenwell.

Oh.

Foggy night, sir.

>> Good evening, Shadow.

>> Excuse me, sir, but you see fairing men

always seem to be looking at something

that I never can see.

>> We are looking for something just over

the horizon.

>> You know, sir, I recognized you for a

gentleman the moment I saw you, sir.

What are you a valet doing at sea?

>> The captain employed me to make him

socially acceptable. Sir,

>> I'm afraid we are too far out for me to

swim back. But if I can be of service to

you, sir.

>> Did the captain send you here?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Why?

>> He wants to know who or what you are,

sir.

>> Who do they think I am?

possibly a spy placed on board by his

majesty. They seemed uneasy to

this uh this Captain Kid. How long have

you known him? Have you sailed with him

before?

>> Oh, no, sir. All I know is he's a

well, among other things, a merchant

captain.

A

>> spy? That's strange. Why should they be

afraid to be spied on?

Good night, Sh. Good night, J.

>> Who is he? Where's he from?

>> He's a nobody, sir. He was employed by

Persons of Quality, where he learned his

speech and his manners. Oh.

This is

It's a matter of judgment. If you fire

on the up roll, the shot will go over

his yards. But if you wait for the down

roll, the enemy is coming up. Now watch.

Get ready.

AH,

>> pretty shock. Mr. Mercy, can you do as

well with a 74 throwing grape and

canister at you?

>> I've done it, sir.

>> Reload and secure and pick up your

practice on the lobbit quarter swivel

gun.

>> Mr. Mercy,

you've sailed with Avery. You must know

these waters

>> fairly soon. If we needed to carine and

take on stores, where would you

recommend?

>> Poverty debas.

>> We draw too much water. You remember,

Captain?

>> Remember what?

>> I only know the Spanish man. These are

Madagascar waters.

Poverty Bay,

>> I sir. Thank you, Mr. Mercy. Come along,

Mr. Bo.

Your presence is becoming increasingly

irksome to me. Get you below.

Now, let's get down to the business of

this voyage.

Hand me that chart, Mr. Boil.

I'll be done. I have been thinking every

day and every night.

>> What about that dinarrow that we buried

in the cave?

>> What good is it there? Let's get it and

get it back where we can spend it.

>> That stays where it is for a while.

>> Why? We've got a fatter prize sailing

right into our pockets. Now,

here's our present position.

Here's Madagascar.

Here's Caligus. In June, the great

gallion, the queder merchant, sails from

Calicut to England. We should meet her

about here.

She's stuffed from Keel to Gunnels with

treasure to the value of half a million

pounds.

>> And we are to give her safe passage

through the pirate seas.

>> By uh safe passage, you mean where to

take her, Captain?

>> No, no, no. Don't be greedy, Mr. Povy. I

grant that most of what sinner may find

its way into our pockets. But let's be

fair, the king poor gentleman will

expect something. But however we do it,

it must be done legalike and honest.

>> Stick to ways you're familiar with.

>> Why you pox rattle villain? I can be as

honest as any man if I have the

incentive.

>> Oh yes, me Lord Blaine.

>> Lord Blaine's name is not to be

mentioned among us, Mr. Kovy. He's dead.

So his crew and so ours and there's none

outside this cabin that knows what

became of them. And if you all enjoy

living, you will remember that. Well,

here's to our meeting with the Queer

Merchant.

>> Quid merchant.

>> Merchant merchant.

>> God bless her. God bless her.

>> Yours love.

wind fresh from west, no west, sir. Of

course, no east by east. Night dark but

clear.

>> Very well, Mr. Mercy.

Northeast by east.

>> Northeast.

MISS DOWN. IT'S MR. B AND THE HANDMAN.

He's dead.

>> If I find the man that's responsible for

this, I'll hang him.

Fish the yard and reset it.

>> What do you suppose happened?

Someone's been tampering with these

lines.

We are gathered together to bid farewell

to a gallant seaman and a stout comrade.

Here was a man shipmates,

whose heart the flinty mountains could

not match, who always took better than

he gave, whose benevolence was such the

orphan's might and the rich man's gold

alike found refuge in his pocket.

A jealous providence has removed him

from us, and I esteem it a privilege to

commit his body to the deep. We shall

all mourn him. I We shall mourn him, but

take comfort, my friends. We shall never

see his like again. Rest in peace.

Pop him over.

Pity, Mr. Mercy, a great pity. But the

ship's work must go on. Move your gear

into poor Mr. Boille's cabin. You will

take his place as master. As master.

I sir.

Come on.

Why shadow?

>> Don't tell me after all this time it

seems.

>> My inward revolt is not from the

movement of the vessel sides occasioned

by the company I endure.

Their manners I say nothing of sir but

I'm a Dorsuch man. And when I find a

common shipmaster as the presumption to

copy himself the code of arms of one of

our best Dorsucher families, can you

wonder if I'm physically upset?

>> Whose crest was he copying?

>> Credited or not, sir. The Blaine crest.

>> You certain?

>> Perfectly, sir. Crest is on a ring in

his desk. Pardon me, sir. I must join

the captain. He's inspecting cast

pickled eels

with Mr. Lorenzo.

Well, Mr. Mercy,

>> do your new duties include robbing my

desk?

>> Shoot me, Captain, and your head goes

with it. I'm here by the king's orders.

>> So, he did plant you on board.

>> Do you think he'd let a man sail with a

crew and you get cutthroats and not keep

tabs on him? And with good reason, if

anything ever wreaked a piracy, this

does. And murder, Captain Bo's death was

no accident. By the way, uh, what ship

was sunk here? The Twel Apostles.

>> Why the 12 Apostles, Mr. Mercy?

>> There's Blaine's ring. his names on it

and he commanded the twelve apostles.

That'll make interesting telling in

London when we get back, Captain.

>> If you get back.

>> When I get back for if I don't

On the other hand.

>> On the other hand, what?

>> Since a man doesn't exactly grow rich in

the king's pay.

>> Oh,

a crooked rogue. So, you have your

price. How much?

>> An equal share in what's buried here.

share that with you. I'll be hanged if I

do.

>> You'll be hanged if you don't.

>> Of all the slamy blackards.

And if you do share Mr. King's informer,

what guarantee is there that you won't

still turn evidence for the crown?

>> If I go in with you, I'm equally guilty.

And if we are caught, we hang together.

But I can keep you from being caught.

What more could you ask?

You know, Mr. Mercy, I've wondered

sometimes if ever I'd meet a more

unscrupulous Blackard than myself,

and I have. Well, let's be sensible

about this. Who knows? We might be

useful to each other one day.

>> In one way or another.

>> You've forgotten something for a ring.

So I have

>> listen in carefully because I want you

to tell it in London if anything happens

to me. Kid caught me in his cabin

robbing his desk. I lied to him. Told

him I was a king's informer.

>> Good.

>> Yes. But he didn't believe me. Not one

word. He just pretended to. Oh, why

didn't you shoot him? Then he will give

us no more trouble.

>> That's a pleasure I'm reserving for

later. If he proves the liar, I think

him.

>> King's men or no, he betrayed an

uncommon interest in the twelve

apostles. I didn't like him, Mr.

Lorenzo. And I mean to find out why.

>> Why? You could have charged him with

robbery and turned him off at a yard.

I'm all legal in ship shape. We would

have been rid of him once and for all.

>> Let's not be impetuous, Mr. Pov. He

can't leave us unless he swims.

It'll be rather amusing to find out what

he does. You rest easy. Leave Mr. Mercy

to me.

Stay home.

Have the boat and pipe to quarters.

>> Pipe the quarters.

It's the qua merchant. Sure enough.

>> Can you make her out, Captain Rosson?

She hasn't the cut of a buccaneer, your

excellency.

Much too tidy for that. More like a

kingship. Yet she has the lines of a

merchant.

>> Have the longboat ready and man.

>> Longboat stand.

>> Stand by to put a shot across our

boughs. Mr. Mercy.

>> I sir. NUMBER FOUR, GUN CREW, STAND BY

FOR ACTION.

>> She's flying the English colors.

Perhaps she's our escort ship. It was

about here we were to meet, wasn't it?

>> Well, we'll make dead certain just the

same. Mr. Hillyard, see that all hands

are at the station.

>> Very good, sir.

Ready,

>> Welcome aboard, gentlemen. I'm Captain

Russia.

>> I'm Lord Fsworth, his majesty's

ambassador to the court of the Grand

Mal.

>> Your obedient servant, sir. I've been

sent to give you convoy, and we'd better

make haste with our business. These are

unhealthy waters for ships to be hoed

to, as I discovered a day or so ago.

>> You mean you cited some of the pirate

brotherhood?

>> More than that, sir. We beat off to

them. Avery and Cullifford out of last

hope. Some further leagues out of here.

>> Oh, stop me. I near forgot. Could you

spare us some powder and ball? We use

more than was safe during the action.

>> Oh, why all that you need, sir? And

welcome.

>> Mr. Lorenzo here could attend to that

then.

>> Oh, Mr. Hillyard, take Mr. Lorenzo below

and see that he gets what he wants. My I

said, Captain

I'll send to the master gunner. He'll

take care of all your needs.

>> Uh-huh.

Mr. Lorenzo,

>> take this powder and put it in the long

boat. Why

>> I see?

Gentlemen, my daughter, the Lady Anne

Dunston, Captain Kid, Mr. Povy, Mr.

Mercy,

>> Haven't we met before?

>> I think not, my lady.

You remind me of someone I've seen.

>> I think it impossible that we could have

ever met.

>> Perhaps.

>> How do we proceed now, Captain?

>> Well, I'm instructed to give you

protection past Madagascar,

and you'll be safe as long as we sail in

company. But Avery will be a wolf at

your heels, and if we are separated in

darkness or storm,

>> and uh what would you advise then, sir?

Well,

I suppose we could take Lord Fosworth

and Lady Anne aboard the adventure till

Madagascar a stern. And then if we are

separated and this vessel should be

taken.

>> What about the treasure on board? One

silver chest alone. A present of his

majesty from the Grand Mau contains

precious gems valued at more than a

million pounds.

>> May I suggest your excellency?

Now, why not transfer the treasure chest

with yourself and Lady Anne on board the

adventure and till we are out of danger?

She's a kingship. That is a great

responsibility.

And although my instructions are that

you are to trust me in all matters, I

don't know if I could go so far as

>> What else can we do?

>> Three of them against us. Well, even

two, sir, we'd be helpless. It's the

wisest cause. I defer to your

excellency.

And now could we inspect the chests? We

could have them slung into our boats

along with the gear of Lord Foss and

Lady Anne.

>> Oh, certainly. This way, Captain.

>> No trouble at all.

>> Hoist away,

Mr. Povy,

>> I have sent for the manifest, Captain.

You may check it against the contents of

this chest and give me your receipt if

you will.

>> Gladly. Gladly.

>> Oh, there you are, Mr. Lorenzo. Have you

uh completed your business?

>> Almost, sir. Your people have been most

kind. Caban Rosel, there is only one

detail left. It will not take a minute.

>> Finished up. Then we must be gone within

the hour.

>> Yes, Kavitan.

Manifest, sir.

>> Would you attend to that, Mr. Pley?

>> Thank you very much, Captain.

Come, Mr. Lorento. You've seen a lovely

lady before this.

a tribute to your beauty. Mom,

>> uh, did you finish your business below?

>> Yes, Captain.

>> Then we'd better be underway. Uh, Mr.

Mercy, you will see Lord Foswood and the

Lady Anne into the boat.

>> Hey, sir.

Make way for the longboard.

You will look after the loading. Mr.

Lorenzo,

>> I apologize my lady for our poor

accommodations, but me at Shadwell will

see that you're made comfortable.

>> It's a pleasure to have your lady ship

aboard. If you're following this,

why hasn't it happened?

She's blown up. Someone must have

touched off the magazine.

>> Send out your boats at once, sir.

>> You can't ask me to risk men near that.

>> Let me go, Captain.

Excuse

me, my lady.

>> Your father, may I say how sorry I am?

The captain has requested that you take

your meals in the main cabin.

>> Oh, no, Shadwell. I can't bear to face

those men. I can't. I quite understand,

my lady, but the captain's orders are

orders.

>> Shadwell, you must help me. There's no

one else I can trust.

>> But what can I do, my lady? I'm only a

servant.

>> Where can I turn? I I'm so confused and

frightened. I

keep thinking of my father and the

others lost back there.

And on this ship, wherever I go, those

horrible staring men, that Lorenzo who

was always standing behind me, beside

me.

Last night, there was a tapping on the

door. When I opened it, there he was.

That that evil smiling face of his.

Well, he might better belong with those

pirates you fought a few days ago.

>> Pirates, Melenny.

We fought no pirates.

Well, my father said Captain Kid toad

Shadwell. What manner of ship is this?

>> My father was killed deliberately. I'm

sure of it.

>> That's why I can't bear to face your

captain. I'd accuse him.

>> There is a man on board, my lady. A

gentleman whom I know you can trust.

>> Mr. Mercy.

>> Yes, my lady.

>> Shadwell. I know I've met or seen him

before, no matter how he denies it.

>> His name isn't Mercy. But who is he?

>> All I really know is my lady. He's no

friend of the captains. Perhaps if I ask

him, he'll shall I.

>> Oh, yes. Will you please?

>> Yes, my lady.

I am asking you again. Very nice. My

dear Capitan,

>> your fancy manners do not impress me.

Mr. Lorenzo,

>> when do we divide the gold?

>> In London, not before.

>> Uh-huh.

Then look at it. I will make a bargain

with you.

>> A bargain? Everybody wants to bargain

with me. You and Mercy, fire and

thunder. What do you think I am? A

stinking sausage merchant? What kind of

a bargain?

>> The girl.

All my life I have dreamed of a

beautiful woman like that.

Give me half of my Dero now and you can

split the rest between you if you will

let me have her.

Fire on him.

He smit with love again.

>> I want her and I am going to take her.

>> Whether I like it or not.

>> Uh-huh.

With all this treasure on board, the

crew is like a barrel of hard gunpowder.

All that is needed is a word in the

right ears. Do you mean mutiny?

>> You're a witness.

He's inciting the crew to mute me.

>> No, no, no, not that.

>> I was only joking.

>> You have a very nasty way of joking, Mr.

Lorenzo.

As for the girl, I have my own plans for

her, and they do not include you.

Get out.

Who is it?

>> Adam

Mr.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Mercy. Adam,

>> my name's Adam Blaine.

>> Son of Lord Blaine.

I knew it. I knew it. But what are you

doing on this ship?

>> My father was killed and accused of

piracy.

>> Few people believe Lord Blaine.

>> The king did. That's why I went to see

and turn pirate 3 years ago. That's why

I'm on this ship. I knew that someday

I'd come upon the truth.

>> And you have.

>> It was Captain Kid who killed your

father, wasn't it,

>> Adam? I'm no fool. He did the same thing

to my father.

>> The fat butcher.

It's taken me 3 years to track him down.

Three years of degradation. Now I've got

him where I want him, and he knows it.

>> You mean he knows who you are?

He knows something.

>> That's why you didn't admit to me who

you were. Why you avoided me.

>> If Kit knows we shared this, he'd kill

you with as little compunction as he

means to kill me if I let him.

>> What can I do to help that? There must

be something.

>> Forget everything you've seen on the

ship. Play up to him. Be friendly. That

way, you'll be safe. Now, when you get

back to London, no matter what has

happened to me, go to the Lords of the

Admiraly and the King. You'll be doing

me a great service as well as yourself.

>> I will, Adam. I promise.

>> You're going to have trouble with

Lorenzo. The beating of the lungs

exciting the tiger.

>> His blood's getting too rich for him.

He'd be a better for bleeding.

>> Things are getting a bit complicated, my

lord. The king may accept the

elimination of the queen of merchant as

an accident. Maybe even the sudden

demise of Lord Fwsworth. But what about

the lady? You said you had plans for

her. Do they include

>> Mr. Povy? The little deer's as safe with

me as if she was me daughter. My

passion's power and gold. Since she

suspects nothing, I'll deliver her to

his majesty along with his share of the

queen of merchants's goods. Or weep

appropriately over the untimely demise

of her par. Receive the grateful thanks

of me sovereign and appage is mine. me,

Lord.

>> Laugh if you will, but that's what I'll

have. And neither man nor devil shall

stop me.

>> Shadra,

>> Senorita, me lady, do not be alarmed.

>> Now that she knows who I am and the kind

of a ship she's on, I think we can count

on to keep ahead. You stay here till I

come off watch.

Help.

Shadwell,

>> use your head, Mr. Pokey. Luck's with us

tonight. Which, if either of them would

you like to see survive?

Heat. Heat.

Mr. Mercy, you did well to protect her.

Are you all right, sir? Yes, I'm all

right. Look after Lady F.

>> Adam, what's the matter?

My medallion. It's gone. Has the bla

crest on it.

>> Blaine?

>> Perhaps I can find it for you, sir.

>> No. It must have come off just before

Lorenzo went through the port.

>> Shad will take away the end to a cabin.

>> Oh, please, Adam. I can't go in there.

>> You must. This is serious. It involves

you. Remember, no matter what tricks he

tries, you've never seen me before, and

you don't know who I am. Shad will I

think.

>> Well, don't worry about me, sir. He

never could get anything out of me, and

he never will. It's the only way you'll

be safe. Shad will watch out for you.

But

>> what about you, Adam? What will he do?

>> The same thing he's done to the others.

If he gets a chance, Adam,

>> don't worry, Ann. I at least know what

to expect. Go then,

>> Chadwolf. If anything does happen,

remember you to stand by Lady Anne and

see that she gets safely to London.

>> I'll stake my life on the

>> I know you will.

>> Be careful, Adam.

Please be careful.

Come, my lady.

>> He's no king's man.

>> Who is he then?

>> Tomorrow we put into the lagoon for

water. And while the crew's getting it

on board, you and me and Mr. Mercy is

going to the cave. You going to take him

in there?

>> I have a peculiar humor to watch my

clever young friends fizz when we dig up

their chests.

>> Sweet dreams.

Dig fast, Mr. Mercy. You haven't got

forever.

Who might this be?

Perhaps a man that asked too many

questions.

Gently now, Mr. Mercy, you've come on

something.

>> So, it was the twel apostles, a captain.

>> Yes, it was. Mr. Mercy,

open it up.

Planes.

>> Planes.

He was a brave seaman, but foolish. Did

you happen to know him, Mr. Mercy?

>> I'd heard of him.

>> I thought perhaps you had.

This

is yours.

Isn't it?

I uh traded a ring for it. One of

Avery's men.

>> Yes. When I encountered Lord Blaine at

sea, I did my simple duty as a loyal

subject. A pity he turned pirate and

traitor to his king.

Liar.

Hello.

He's meat for the sharks now, Mr. Pobe.

Tide closes this place in half an hour.

We've nothing more to fear.

>> Oh, yes, Captain. Really am.

>> It's a long voyage home, Mr. Poy and

anything might happen.

>> Naturally, a lady ship is still very

distressed. In the midst of life, we are

in death, shedwell. And though me heart

bleeds,

>> my heart, sir,

>> my heart bleeds.

Confound you, Shed. Well, you've drove

the thought right out of me head, and it

was an uncommon, pretty one.

>> I'm sure of that, sir. Go to her at

once. Tell her she can't mourn forever,

and I shall expect her to take her meals

in the main cabin with the rest of us.

>> Very well, sir.

>> Poor lad. We turned just in time to see

him go over the edge. Search for an

hour, never came up. Well,

here's to him.

wherever he is. You feeling ill?

>> Yes, sir.

I'll go to my cabin with your

permission.

>> If you wish. It's been quite a trying

voyage. What with one little thing and

another would bear up. You'll soon be

home again.

I warned Adam not to go. No one could

have stopped him. It

>> was cold bloodooded, planned deliberate.

The same will happen to our leadership

unless we can.

Adam.

Hey, Adam. How did you

They find you on board, sir.

>> I've come back for Lady Anne.

>> Oh, thank you, sir.

>> I've been hanging on the rudder chain

since dark, waiting for the turn of the

watch. The jollyboat's mortar stern. I

waited alongside. It's secured right

under this port. What? Get in it and

drift a under the main cabin. We're now

get me some dry clothes. Shall Where is

he, Captain?

>> In his old cabin with Mr. Sir, examining

the silver chest they brought back on

board, sir.

>> My father's chest. Chadwell kid doesn't

suspect you. Tell Lady Anne to get some

things together and when the coast is

clear, you come back for me.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Bern

out both watches at daybreak. We're

weighing on the morning tide.

>> Hi, sir.

>> Kid doesn't suspect Shadwell. He's

staying on board and he'll be evidence

for us in London. Bart's in the small

boat to Stern. We'll roar ashore. Then

where Adam?

>> Two days journey Oland is the pirate

town of Last Hope. It's the most lawless

place on earth, but I have friends

there. Somehow they'll find us a ship

for England.

>> England? No.

>> Come on.

Get down in the B.

Goodbye, lady. Goodbye, Lord. Godspeed.

>> I see an inland.

>> Oh, there. Who's in that boat now?

>> Come on.

Come on.

Fire.

>> Thank you. May lords come.

>> Fire

and the longboat.

One,

five.

Hold on to me.

Take her away.

He's dead as a mackerel.

>> He's gone, too. I guess that's the end

of Make.

>> And good rigles. Back to the ship, boys.

If you're thinking what I think you're

thinking, my friend, forget

There's a little matter of a letter I

left in London.

Spoil sport.

Captain William Kid.

>> Greetings, Captain.

What news have you brought me from the

Indian seas?

>> By your leave, your majesty, both good,

nil, but mostly. Very good indeed. I

returned by way of the American

colonies, sire.

>> So I understood

with the main points of your voyage, I

am familiar.

I wonder if you can enlighten me about

the affair of the queen's godchild, Lady

Anne Dunston, and your shipm, Mr. Mercy.

Oh, that poor impetuous fellow sire

invagled that bud of innocence he did

into running away with him and catching

him red-handed in defense of my very

life. I was forced to dispatch him both.

Rest in peace.

>> Tell me, Captain, about the treasure

and the quida merchant.

Unfortunate, sire. Most unfortunate.

weed ship, but that chest went up she

blew and all souls went heavenward. Rest

in peace to them, Ditto.

>> I see.

Now about the twelve apostles and Lord

Blaine, you encounter any trace.

Naysire, I can only hope that the weight

of his sin sank both him and his ship.

>> I see.

Then how do you explain this?

Whose might that be, your majesty?

>> My officers found it on your ship at

Plymouth after you left for London. It

bears the blame crest with which I

believe you are not unfamiliar. I've

always felt that Mr. Povy, Miss Surgeon,

a very wy fellow indeed, was hiding

something from me.

>> Hiding it in a secret Lazaret in your

cabin, Captain?

>> I hope Mr. Povy has a proper

explanation, sire. Mr. Povy was killed

three days ago defending it. With his

dying oath, he swore it was not his.

Perhaps Shadwell Mallet slipped it

aboard. Might it not have come from a

Madagascar cave? Captain,

>> something dreadful queer about all this,

you

>> Enough of your lies. Look,

nightmare.

A pity you overlooked last hope,

Captain. We stood on the headland with

my friend Avery and watched you sail by.

May it please your majesty I accuse this

man of piracy and murder.

>> Was ever a gentleman so misfortunate.

Lock him up in Nougat. He's to be held

for the next session of the court of OA

interried for his life.

Hands off me you scam.

ALL I DONE WAS TO THE CREDIT AND FOR THE

HONOR AND GLORY OF ENGLAND.

So here's me bequest to them what hunts

what I have hid and to their son sons

down through the endless corridors of

time.

Greed

that spawns murder.

Hatred

that corrods the soul.

AMBITION

THE FOULEST TRUMPET of all.

>> HEY JACK. JACK CATCH. SELL ME A BIT OF

THAT ROPE for six pence. Will you

>> save your money lad? You can have it all

for nothing if you only step up here and

wear it.

Hurry it up, check. Can't wait forever.

>> Captain Kid is dead. My lord Blaine, his

account is closed. Now, what manner can

I atone for the injustice I wept upon

your father?

Your first sea lord. What do you

suggest?

>> We have a fine frigot of 50 guns

commissioned for American waters sire

that we thought of naming the lady Anne.

It should be a wedding gift to you from

the crown for your loyalty and service

to king and country.
