Come on, you lying scum.

Let's see what you're made of.

Wow.

No!

No!

Oh, shit!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

You all right?

Hey, alright, so thanks for your help.

Er, not that I couldn't have had them on my own, mate.

Of course you could.

I could see that.

Just factored a bit of exercise, it's all.

All right.

Captain Baines.

Captain Burgess.

Not often I play cards for money, but when I do I play square.

No one calls me a cheat and gets away with it.

Even if it costs you a broken arm?

I'll see if you need to find your patch in me.

You did some purling, you said.

Hi.

There was this Dutchman.

He had a small catch and no money.

I desired $200 at the time.

We became partners.

Of course, everybody on the waterfront called me a fool.

What for taking a chance?

There's a bit more to it than that.

You see, O'Vahn Mere was fond of the bottle.

And when he was drunk, he tells stories of this lagooning you where you could pick up

pearls of size of pigeon's eggs.

He was on his B-man, it's a bit of a joke.

Like the Caribbean.

He needs a couple of hundred people there.

No one if I'm Morgan's treasure, their joke is the lot of them.

Well, this time it was no joke.

Three months later we started rowing me.

Sir.

At the exchange I quoted 24 shillings and 10 pence a ton.

Now use my slip, right?

Yes.

Well then I'll come that your clark invoiced this cargo at 24 shillings and a penny.

Oh, surely not, sir.

Oh, surely yes.

If it is, back and right.

9 pence a ton shorter.

Now you multiply that by a thousand tons and it comes to a lot of brass.

Yes, 37 pounds 10 shillings.

You're upsetting again.

More laggy's upset me.

You know he'll have a beer as good as old top man.

Well, not well you go on treating him like an errand boy, you know.

Oh.

I should have gone to Belfast with Will, you know.

Oh, James, you promised you'd have a spell ashore.

Well, I'm here, aren't I?

Both eat on dry land.

Ah, and eating every minute of it.

No, no, no.

There were a couple of weeks at home and you're bored already.

With the office?

With that house?

I sometimes wonder if you're bored with me.

Nay, let's not just a bit restless.

No, James.

You're one of the biggest ship owners in Liverpool.

Why can't you just relax and well enjoy the fruits of your success?

Look, if I was in steam, maybe I could.

But I'm in sale.

I've got to fight for every cargo.

I can't do that beyond this year of desk.

Well, Daniel, still playing truant from Westminster?

I was told I thank you.

Samuel.

Something wrong, Uncle?

Oh, no, no, no, just one of that word.

That's all.

I'm on my way to the station.

Yes?

That's to meet William.

Oh.

Has Charlotte mentioned anything?

About William.

Yes.

No?

I see.

Well, I don't like for trying a confidence, Samuel,

but I feel I have to, for your sake.

Go on.

William wrote a letter to Charlotte

and Gerand Elizabeth Gegerture.

Now, of course, I have no idea what the letter said,

but I do know that he wanted to see it.

When was this?

Just before the Christmas.

Oh, that was over two weeks ago.

Yes.

But obviously, I would hate there to be trouble between you

and William, and I shall make this known to him.

It was a noble gesture you made in marriage, Charlotte.

Hardly noble, Uncle.

I happen to love Charlotte.

But all the same.

And I think I can keep my own house in order.

But thank you for the information.

Now, I feel, excuse me.

Charlotte, I'd like an answer.

The letter was addressed to me, Samuel.

It was personal.

Personal?

Damn it.

I'm your husband.

And you only completely.

Is that what you mean?

No, I mean that this concerns us both.

No.

What you really mean is that you don't trust me.

I certainly don't trust William.

I must have him in this house.

Now, may I see that letter, please?

No.

I burnt it.

I see.

Do you intend seeing him?

No.

Then there's no more to be said, isn't it?

Why didn't you tell me that he'd written to you?

Well, I suppose I didn't wish to raise

that particular ghost again.

Prospecting for gold, William, I can hardly believe it.

I wasn't very good at it.

But later, in Australia, as a place called Lightning Ridge,

I made over 1,000 pounds open mining.

And then a month after that, I lost every penny

in one marvellous all night poker game.

That's 1,000 pounds, or William, how could you?

Well, my boy, you certainly seem to have lived life to the full.

That's what he said for, isn't it, Father?

I think so.

I was given the opportunity to explore the world

and in the process myself.

I'm grateful for that.

Well, the important thing is that your home's safe and sound.

And I give you fair warning, William, now that you are home,

you're going to be my escort to every ball and swari

in the county.

And I'm going to show you off quite unmercifully.

I see.

Are you not to take part in this marathon, Father?

Oh, no.

Your father has far too much to occupy him in London.

The affairs of state weigh heavily on him, William.

And he sometimes works quite late into the night.

Don't you, Daniel?

I think it's time we went up to dress.

Oh, dear, and I just decided to have another sherry.

Would you mind, will you?

No.

Don't let me delay you, Daniel.

How long has this been going on, Mama?

How long has what been going on?

You and Father at loggerheads.

Is it about me?

No.

Now, you mustn't concern yourself.

I do.

We often quarrel sometimes quite heatedly.

You know that?

Yes, but that seems to be only coldness between you.

I'll see you at dinner, Mama.

You're supposed to be senior master of the Aladdin line.

Set an example to others.

And what you do?

Break an arm in a barroom brawl.

It could have happened to anyone.

Well, it didn't.

It happened to you.

Two more runs left before this contract's completed.

I know that.

Well, I must call myself.

Eh?

Well, I brought the ship back home.

Didn't I?

I mean, there's no leave you to go to welfare.

No, no.

No, no.

My mind's made up.

Besides, the spell of shawl do you good.

You sure you're only thinking of me?

Of course I am.

Besides, I might pick up a bit of business in Belfast.

You know, to sit behind that desk won't do you anyhow.

Eh?

Well, somebody's got to look after the shot.

What's wrong with your chief clerk?

I mean, when you add Mr. Tapman.

Yeah, I taught him.

He was worth twice what this talking's is.

Well, I hate paperware.

So do I, but it's got to be done.

Here.

You're not expecting me to go on the floor of the exchange, are you?

Well, of course I am.

Among all them toffee no-zoners.

They're not all toffee no-zoners.

Oh, no.

No.

Luke, you smarten yourself up.

You put on your best, Pippin' Joker.

You could cut quite a figure in that exchange.

All the same, I reckon you're enjoying all this.

Luke, if you hadn't broken your arm,

you wouldn't be in this position.

Well, if I've got to turn that ship around,

I'd best get a move on.

Here you are.

Make yourself at home.

I'll see you when I get back.

Here.

OK.

OK.

Cool.

Alice?

Good morning.

Would you tell the honestest Mr. William Fraser

who's called to see her?

Sorry, sir.

Mrs. Benita, you've not at home.

Of course she is.

I saw her at the window, just now.

Yes, sir.

Faking your pardon, she's not at home to use, sir.

Sorry, sir.

Bill fast.

Oh, James, no.

Look, it'll only be for a few days.

But there's three rooms yet to furnish.

Their men are coming tomorrow with the pattern books

and the swatches.

You promised you'd be here so we could choose them together.

We talked about it only yesterday.

No, you don't want me.

I'm no good at that sort of thing.

Why not ask, sir?

She'll jump at the chance to spend him out for us.

Two months ashore, you said.

Get properly settled in the new house, you said.

Your words, James.

Well, cannot that annoys you?

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

I'll get this case things packed.

19 shillings a ton doesn't seem very high, Mr. Dunwoody.

Well, yes, I know the others are lowering their rates.

Well, look, just get the best price you can.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I don't think I'll be in the office today, Mr. Dunwoody.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

No peace and quiet, Fritill.

Woodies since you bought that thing.

But you called to tell me how to run my business, James?

No, no, I haven't.

But, are you talking about business?

You know that army contract I offered you?

£500, I think so.

No, it was you who said £500, James.

Ah, yes, well...

Anyway, I've handed the whole matter over to Mr. Dunwoody.

Well, but don't want to talk to him.

Look, this is between you and me.

You'll find him at the exchange.

Look, I'm just off to Belfast.

What?

When you promised Lettie you'd remain ashore for two months?

How did you know?

She told me.

Oh, now I suppose you've upset her again.

No!

Oh, she was a bit put out.

Look, that's not what I've come to talk about.

No, I'm sure it's not.

You're always thinking of yourself, you are, James.

What are you on about now?

Lettie!

Can't you see?

Elizabeth, I don't want to...

You're both bottling up your true feelings for one another.

I don't want to talk about it.

It's not the sort of thing you talk about.

Even between brother and sister.

I'm sorry, James.

I'm just trying to help.

No.

Hi.

You said don't know what is at the exchange.

Well, let's go there, then, huh?

Hi.

Dad's cracking on.

Yeah, give my regards to Daniel.

Huh?

Always assuming, of course, that you are still talking to one another?

I called at your house this morning, Samuel.

My house is forbidden to you, William, as well.

Yes, yes, you made that quite clear in your letter.

Then don't attempt to force the issue.

I intend to see Charlotte, my son.

Dad, no right to do that.

Two keep away.

Me and mine.

Is that because if you persist, will you please?

I shall done well, horse with you in public.

Ah, don't worry.

Just after Belfast, don't matter, I want to clear up with you before I go.

Oh, yes, sir.

Yes, it's this government contractor, Pick Jup, transporting army,

or sister for Sedana.

I think it's just a word with you, how did you?

Yes, yes, you did mention it, sir.

Yes, well, we more or less agreed that £500 would be fair,

I reckon, that's from your trouble.

Oh, indeed, it would have been, sir.

What do you mean would have been?

Well, if cartoon hadn't fallen, but now that we're evacuating the Sudan,

the need for horses will diminish rapidly, I'm afraid that cargo has very little value, sir.

Are you telling me now that you don't want that?

Oh, no, I'll take it off your hands, eh?

I mean, how much?

Well, you having no steamships of your own, sir,

and you having signed a contract that specifies a steamship,

well, to save you any embarrassment, shall we say £100?

No, we shall not say £100.

I'll get it to shop, I ask, don't worry.

Uncle?

Oh, well, you...

You bag!

Erm, er, just off the bowfast, excuse me.

Well?

Well, what?

Urgent, your message, sir.

Do you want me to wave you goodbye or something?

Your arm erasing on summit?

No way.

Because you're as sour as lemons, that's why.

Er, let's... Office, I made a fast passage back from Bill Thar.

I'm not gonna go through all that again, are we?

Do you think I wouldn't rather be at home with letty?

What's all this and so urgent, then?

Yeah.

You remember that contract I picked up in Egypt?

One that you were gonna offer your assistance?

Yes, yes.

Well, I think we'd be better off with another lie.

You should have no trouble placing it.

In other words, a freezer line and not interest.

No, I mean, you'll get a better price for it.

Elsewhere.

I was right.

You're as sour as lemons.

Are you returning to the office this afternoon?

Why do you ask?

I thought you might get a go riding.

With you? I think not, Daniel.

Oh, damn it, Elizabeth.

Just how long is this going on?

Until either it no longer hurts or until it no longer matters.

Elizabeth, if you want me to put on sackcloth and ashes

and walk through the streets of Liverpool, I'll do it.

I don't wish you to do anything, except perhaps return to London.

I'll return to Westminster only when we've settled this matter.

And I'll go on telling you that Angela Tapplo means nothing to me

until at last you believe it.

Perhaps I'll finish these at the office.

Hello, who is that?

Good Lord, what are you doing in Liverpool?

Mary, lay out my riding habit, please, and tell the grown to settle up

both my horse and sedaniels.

Angela, you know perfectly well why you shouldn't telephone me.

I am trying to save my marriage.

For heaven's sake, Angela, yes, of course I'll see you when I return to London,

but please try to understand it's very difficult to talk at the moment.

I've been reading the log again, Mr. Beale.

Captain Bates was right.

He did make good time last trip.

I only did, but then we had a soldier to win.

So just went to know, we'll have to do better.

That won't be easy, sure.

Well, if we were to go to the

house, we'd have to go to the house.

I'd have to go to the house.

I'd have to go to the house.

We'll have to do better. That won't be easy, sure.

Well, if we don't, you'll never let me hear the last of it.

First shot born canvas, Mr. Beale.

Like the best of this week while we've got it.

Bye, all right, show him.

It's not right, Fletcher.

You don't allow women on the floor of the Baltic, exchange,

so I didn't see why we should have them up here.

Nothing against it in the rules, old boy.

Of course, there isn't.

We've ever heard of a woman running a shipping line before.

You try getting the committee to make a new rule, Benson.

You'll meet with opposition.

Me, for one.

There could resist a pretty face, could you, Fletcher?

Excuse me, Jeff Williams.

I wasn't expecting you on the floor today, am I lady?

No, I've just come from the office.

I was wondering if perhaps my son...

Oh, Mr. Fraser was here this morning, am I lady?

Together with Mr. Samuel Onedi.

Together?

Or they arrived separately, they merely met you.

And departed separately?

Yes.

I'm thinking of going away.

Oh, yes.

What a short holiday.

Oh, but of course that would mean leaving you to run the shipping lines and yard all on your own.

I'm sure I can cope.

Yes, I'm sure you can.

It's a relief to have someone I can rely on.

I do my best.

And I'm very grateful that you do.

We must talk about your position and salary in the cover hall.

It's well.

We'll talk soon, Mr. Donwoody.

I'm sorry, Mr. Donwoody.

That's no good, Sarah. I just can't decide.

Well, if you want my opinion, this goes with that.

And then in the small bedroom, you want this paper here with a curtains made up from this velvet here.

Hmm. Perhaps you're right.

On the other hand.

On the other hand. Why don't I come back tomorrow and we can make up our minds then?

Oh, that would be awesome.

Have you and James thought any more about that?

No.

But let ease to a years now since you lost the baby.

Sarah, I said at the time that I wanted no more children.

I meant it then and I mean it now.

It's just that I was new that James always wanted us, son.

James and I both agreed on this point, Sarah.

But how on earth can you manage to...

Oh, I've touched on a delicate nerve, I'm... I'm sorry.

Children are all tucked up.

Yes. That makes fourteen.

Sorry?

I've been counting.

Every evening when I come down from the nursery, you ask the same question.

Because I'm naturally interested.

Well, that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

I'm sitting on the pavement outside and he called at the door at least five times.

That's what he thinks of your warning.

William?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, my boy, have you found much that has changed in the two years you've been away?

People, mainly.

Yes.

Some more than others.

And your first day home has it been busy?

Considering I spend most of it outside Samuel's house trying to see Charlotte and Robert.

No.

Well, you could hardly expect to be welcomed with open arms.

No. Just a degree of understanding, that's all.

William, you're expecting too much.

What? To see my own son and have a few words with Charlotte.

I don't call that unreasonable.

Well, I do.

You must surely admit that in not marrying her, you acted dishonorably.

No. I don't deny that.

And then all credit must go to Samuel for marrying Charlotte and bringing the child up as his own.

Yes, I do accept that.

And surely the only honorable thing to do is to keep out of their life.

Now, damn it, I know you won't find him.

How dare you sit there smugly talking about honor.

You do well to look to your own life before you start preaching to your son.

It is, it is.

Are you so blind you can't see the boy is simply following your pattern of behavior?

Nothing of the kind.

Oh, isn't it?

You got me with child and then ran off to Australia leaving me to marry Albert Fraser.

And when you did return, seventeen years later.

Not only did you insist on seeing William, but on telling him who you were.

It's history repeating itself.

Only in your case it was all very honorable, wasn't it?

Yes.

Because you seem to have conveniently forgotten that when I returned Albert was dead.

Now Samuel is very much alive and he's made his wishes quite plain.

Now all I'm saying is that William should respect those wishes.

And have either of you given a thought to how Charlotte might feel?

No, of course not.

She is, after all, only the mother of the child, just a woman.

If you'll excuse me, I'll think I'll go to bed.

Quite frankly, I don't think I'd rob you or in a position to advise anyone.

Bottle going begging.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Good. Cook makes rotten coffee.

I hear you own a steamer.

Hi. How big?

Three hundred tons.

Oh, quite small. Next one will be bigger.

Oh, the plans at the end.

Haven't you, Captain O'Nedu?

Glasses are behind you.

One day I'll have as many ships as you, sir.

Only they'll all be steamers.

I hope you can afford to feed them.

The greedy brutes when it comes to coal.

They've got an appetite. I'll have to do that.

No. How long have you been in Belfast?

Three weeks.

Engine repairs?

New stern tubes. Some engine work.

Three weeks.

Oh, that'll cost you a tiny bit of press.

Maybe take a walk along there later on.

Give me a couple of minutes with him before you come over.

You won't fool him, you know, Captain Bains.

Mr. Nieden's already?

I know all about that. You just do as I told you.

Captain Bains, don't tell me you've deserted the sea in favor of commerce.

Well, the decision was more or less me for me, Mr. Dunwoody.

Only be for a while, and during that time I looked.

Tells me that since they decided to evacuate the sedard,

they're crying out for steam ships to bring the stuff back home.

So let's horse his out. General cargo home.

Now that's what I call good business.

The pity is, we can't handle it. It's steam a train.

Well, Mr. Dargins.

750 from one, 800 from the other.

She was able to say both want that contract.

Well, of course they do.

But I'm not going to auction the damn thing.

First one to come to a thousand says yes to it, he can add you tell it.

Right.

I'll take that contract off your hands for 900, Captain Bains.

Mr. Dargins.

Provided you'll agree here and now.

Oh, well.

Well, I'll see you in it's you.

Yes.

Well, I'll send a clerk over to your office later on.

That's one up to me.

One of the eye for Mr. Oodie.

You're right.

She has got good lines for the steam, huh?

Only one thing's for us looks.

And what's that?

The notice, Nailedia must.

Your ship's been inbound.

What?

Bad damn scot combo.

It did it after all.

I can't let my aunt in him right now.

Right now, you need to lay your aunt in someone's house.

I'll take a seat.

I can't let my aunt in him right now.

Right now, you need to lay your aunt in some money.

Let's take a walk back to my shop.

How much, then?

One.

How much do you owe?

Five hundred.

Well, nearly six.

Well, it was only three weeks.

This Campbell's a bit quick off the mark to bounding his money back.

I said the repairs took three weeks.

Well, how long's it been, then?

Three months.

Heck.

Have you paid him out?

No.

I'll find somewhere.

I've got this contract promised.

That's no good without a ship.

Look, supposing I was to buy a few shares in the black part of it, eh?

How many?

Fifty-one.

What?

Give you control.

All right.

Split it down the middle.

Fifty-fifty each.

What arm to be named managing on?

Oh, no. I think not.

If you sailed under the uneaten flag, you could take half the pot.

Hi!

And you'd pick up the other half.

No, thank you, an even.

I'll find a way.

Oh, is yourself.

I'll sail at first light.

Then I wish you a good ride home.

Something's troubling you, Elizabeth.

Is it to do with William?

No.

Business?

Daniel.

Well, what?

He has a mistress, Letty.

Oh, no, I can hardly believe Elizabeth.

You shit!

No, I mean really, sure, just Daniel admits.

Oh, I don't care what Daniel says, not anymore.

Letty, I know.

Oh, what nothing you do?

Well, my first thought was divorce.

Oh, Elizabeth surely hasn't come to that.

You'd be a social outcast.

It would ruin Daniel's career.

I know.

It's just that in my heart, I know we can no longer live together as man and wife.

Charlotte!

Charlotte!

Please get out of my way.

I have to do it.

Surely you can spare me a few minutes.

No!

Charlotte, there's something very important I have to say concerning you and the child.

But first may I please see my son.

Your son, you have the gall to call him your son.

The child, you abandoned.

I tell you, William Fraser, I only have contempt for you.

You left me to fend for myself because you haven't the backbone to face up to your responsibilities.

I despised you then, and I despise you now.

Where are you?

I'm a mother.

Don't light the lamps, William.

Come and sit by the fire.

You're cold.

Yes.

There's been a long time since we sat like this.

A very long time.

Do you want to talk?

In a moment.

We'll get some breakfast inside, it's Patrick.

Then it's back to the stove cold.

What is he, Burgess?

More lean.

Don't you find a way?

What did you get out of there first?

What's the tour?

Hey, it's Patrick, we've been stoking since dawn.

I'll have steam up.

Looks like you're Mr. Campbell now coming to collect his money.

I don't think he'll like this at all.

I'm not sure if he's in tow.

My ship impounded as well.

Damn it, man, they could throw me in jail.

I could lose a ship for good.

Yes, you could.

Of course, if he was part, as like I suggested, I could pay all your debts.

In fact, I'm prepared to make out a banker's draft the moment that he sets foot on board.

And you'd end up controlling my ship?

No, thank you, I needn't.

Very well done.

Looks like you've got about ten minutes to enjoy your ownership.

You should keep controlling.

Mr. Beale!

Prepare to make ready, I'm coming across!

Half-shares, but me as managing owner.

How about that?

You know my terms.

You know, damn well, I've got my back to the wall.

Well, whose fault's that?

Hey, you put yourself there.

Well, is it a deal?

Only if you pay for the repairs.

I'll pay for the Belfast repairs.

Then we have a deal.

Then I'll stay on board.

I'll stay on board.

I'll stay on board.

Last night, only last night we sat here and talked.

Yes.

He bought a villa.

A villa overlooking the Mediterranean said he wanted to live there.

Just for here.

Here.

Elizabeth, let go.

I let the tears come.

No.

It isn't real.

Not yet.

And we must discuss our future.

No, I can wait.

Yes, Daniel, now I want to talk about us.

It's not the time.

And what can I say that I still love you?

That you need me?

No.

That's the sadness, Daniel.

I've lived too long on my own.

I don't need you.

Elizabeth, I do love you.

They must certainly have been killed.

Will you?

Dead.

Try not to upset yourself, dearest.

It was only yesterday.

All he wanted was to see his son.

And I refused him.

It was such a little thing to ask.

You weren't to know this was going to happen.

I could have let him see his son.

You could have...

We could have had more compassion.

Now it's too late.

I think she'd better go and lie down.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

News papers say you're the hero.

Yes.

Daniel, time like this. Not much one can say.

It only come home for months.

Glad to settle up his affairs and then go back to France.

I didn't know that.

He told Elizabeth only the night before.

Talking of Elizabeth,

she's going to need you now.

No.

Of course she will.

Now James, you don't understand.

I think I do.

Elizabeth and Letty are quite close.

Oh.

Anyway, that's all in the past.

Right now.

See you needs you.

No James.

Now last night we talked for the first time in weeks.

I offered to stay, but Elizabeth said no.

It's almost as though William was the one bond that held us together.

No, I find that hard to believe.

Anyway, it's all settled.

I leave for London today.

Hang on.

Stay in fine.

No, it's not really something you can fight for.

God, am I in love, not from Elizabeth?

Well, it's your life out.

James.

She won't lie down.

She says she wants to be with Daniel.

James.

They need to be alone.

How long before your train?

Two hours.

Walk with me, Daniel.

In God.

In God.

In God.

In God.

In God.
