Original subtitles

If two people were to be born at the exact same moment

and very close to each other,

they would become what they call Astral Twins.

They would share a fate.

That's thousands of pounds, Francis.

- I've never seen so much money. - Do you know a man named Francis Carver?

Lydia Greenway.

I have a surprise for you.

In a Godspeed cabin, ten o'clock tomorrow night.

- Miss Anna Wetherell? - No, he's not here.

I'm sorry for your loss.

- It's poison! - It's not poison, it's a medicine!

- It's just laudanum. - No...

It is for pain.

Laudanum. It was full of them.

You have seen a man die.

I can read.

Tomorrow we will have a party.

And the theme will be "The English offshore fleet".

The Luminaries Season 1 Episode 3 - "Leverage"

Good morning.

You know,

I make him drink often.

I am quite ashamed to say it.

But understand me, I'm used to the house without him.

Is...

Sometimes he's like a kid,

with his cravings.

What do you want? A tea?

Milk?

Thanks.

I was hoping you could help me with the costume for the party.

I will be Aphrodite, born from paradise and the sea.

Are you already gone?

Yup.

He's calling me home.

Would you mind if...

May I come with you?

You really should fix it.

She is not here.

Yes there is.

It is right here, in front of me.

I am here for you.

Come here.

What are these things?

He's having a party.

- Its Tuesday. - So?

Who holds a Tuesday night party?

I have something for you.

An open ticket to the new camp, Hokitika.

Come when you want most.

And yours.

No need to tell Ms. Wells, it will remain between us.

All right?

I am a rich man, Miss Wetherell,

and I'm counting on getting richer.

We can make a lot of money together, you and me.

Mr. Mannering.

Tell me?

Who is Mr. Carver?

You are a smart person, I see.

- I like it. - Who is it?

I have a ship waiting for me, come with me, I'll tell you on board.

Tell me now.

He was a criminal,

sentenced to ten years of forced labor.

He was released only a few months ago.

What was he sentenced for?

I'll tell you on board.

Mr. Wells.

Mr. Wells.

Mr. Wells, wake up.

Mr. Wells, the safe key is gone.

- Where is it? - I do not know.

- Where's Lydia? - She's gone out.

- Where did she go? - He didn't tell me.

- He was a criminal. - Who?

Mr. Carver did ten years of forced labor.

I just found out.

For what?

I do not know.

Shit.

There is something wrong with this party.

Okay, come here.

Come!

Take.

Take.

Let's take it out.

Okay, nobody's there.

Do you really think...

What the heck?

Crosbie!

Are you totally crazy?

- Where's the key? Where is it? - You could have killed someone!

Give it to me.

You're making a scene. Look!

- Give me the key! - Stop that. Stop that!

Of course I took the key. You were drunk drunk.

You won't open it here!

We would be robbed.

We would be killed in our beds. Don't be stupid.

Happy?

Give it to me.

Give me the gold, Crosbie.

Immediately.

Shame on you.

I carried that bag for two weeks.

I know how heavy it is.

That was not gold.

It wasn't heavy enough.

He swapped it.

Crosbie.

Crosbie.

I think he put laudanum on it

in our glasses last night.

Dear of you put it to bed.

It is not the first time that it does.

We've already been through it, he and I.

Do you understand?

Now, we have a party to organize.

On this day, 11 October 1865,

a sum of two thousand pounds...

Must be given to Miss Anna Wetherell...

By Mr. Emery Staines, assisted...

From Mr. Crosbie Wells.

Here it is.

Honestly, I don't see any differences.

Watch now.

This is cloudy.

That...

It's pounamu.

This...

It's just a stone.

You are here for my laundry.

Go up.

Miss Anna Wetherell.

You don't need to introduce yourself to the craftsmen.

You have so much to learn.

Thank you. That's enough.

I could be completely poor, Miss Wetherell,

but I would find a way to pay someone else to wash my clothes.

We should check on Mr. Wells.

You know, in case he stopped breathing.

I'll go. Continue.

He sleeps deeply.

Now, your dress for tonight.

I thought of a mermaid.

Do you know what it is?

Good evening, gentlemen.

Captain Raxworthy!

Mrs.

Wear the Victoria Cross.

You know, I've never seen one live.

Miss Wetherell, bring a drink to dear Captain.

Miss Wetherell is dressed as a mermaid, Captain.

So you don't have to listen to a single word of what it says.

- To the British Navy. - To the Navy.

Good evening.

Who are you? Where's Miss Greenway?

She hasn't been Miss Greenway in a long time, Mr. Lauderback.

Didn't he tell you?

She got married.

Who are you?

Call me Mr. Wells.

Crosbie Wells.

- As? - I think you know my wife,

Mrs. Lydia Wells.

What is that?

- And why is my name on it? - Open it.

It's not mine. I have never seen it before.

Open it.

Five clothes, they all hide something.

If I immediately call the captain of the port

and told him to take a closer look, what do you think he would find?

Touch.

Pay particular attention to the seams.

There's a lot of gold in there, Mr. Lauderback,

and it certainly does not belong to you.

I do not understand.

In fact, it is very ingenious.

Women's clothes are less likely to be searched.

If that gold left the country without being declared,

it's tax evasion, brother.

Tax evasion,

aggravated theft,

smuggling.

- Who does gold belong to? - To me!

You see...

I have undertaken an attack on the goldfield.

The occasion I'm most proud of!

And you stole it from me.

No it is not true.

But it's right here, in your chest.

Reserved on your behalf.

Stolen with the collaboration of your lover.

You're setting me up.

I can?

A sheet in the wind!

Can I have your attention?

Our guest of honor has joined us.

Captain Raxworthy is a decorated hero.

But you will notice a decoration...

That the captain doesn't wear.

I think it should show you how the strings work, what do you say?

You have three attempts, Captain Raxworthy.

Guess and drink for free.

Wrong and they will drink them for free!

That's right, sir! No, sir!

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

So, captain, where's the ring?

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

There he is!

No!

Two more attempts, captain!

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

This is blackmail. You are blackmailing me.

Indeed.

What do you want?

Money?

No.

I want this ship.

Sign and all your problems will disappear.

The chest disappears,

I disappear.

And you, Mr. Lauderback,

you will continue to keep your good name.

There!

No!

Last chance, Captain Raxworthy. Try to make it fruitful!

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

Soon, sir.

No, sir. Soon, sir. Never, sir.

Yes, sir. No, sir. Soon, sir.

Well, where's my apprentice?

There he is!

Let's listen to some more music!

No, no, no! Now... now it's your turn!

No!

Someone else, no!

Yes Madam. No, madam.

Soon, lady.

There!

No!

Two more attempts.

Yes Madam. No, madam.

Soon, lady. Never, madam.

Yes Madam. No, madam.

Soon, lady. Never, madam.

Yes Madam. No, madam. Soon, lady. Never, madam.

No, no, no. You haven't guessed it yet!

Mr. Wells!

Crosbie! He poisoned the whiskey, he's drugging you.

Something is going on.

Mr. Wells!

Mr. Wells, wake up, please!

Never, madam. Yes Madam. No, madam.

Soon, lady. Never, madam. Yes Madam.

There he is!

Are you Carver?

I was once upon a time.

Now my name is Wells.

Where's my gold?

Do you think it's just gold?

- As? - The power...

Here's what you are.

Power against what?

Against what?

Don't kill him!

Power? What is the power talking about?

I do not know.

He was here this afternoon when you slept.

Why did he say his name was Wells?

We have to go away.

My passport.

My mine contract, I'm with gold.

Please, Crosbie.

We have to leave.

I should have known it sooner.

Who would use the documents of another, signed

with the name of another man? A prisoner, that's who, someone

who wants to leave the past behind.

Here's what's going on.

They didn't just want my money.

They also wanted my name.

No! Don't kill him!

Don't kill him!

No!

That we did?

That we did?

Do you know who you are now?

You're the man with the scar.

- Try leaving it behind. - Francis?

God, no!

No!

- Where's my gold? - You killed him!

Fuck, I swear to God I'll cut his throat!

Where's my gold?

Where's my gold?

- On the ship! - Which ship?

The Godspeed, the one anchored at the pier, sets sail tomorrow morning!

- Please, please... - Your passport? My passport? Cards?

Crosbie, please.

I beg!

Please, Crosbie.

I love.

Where's my gun?

- Francis. Francis. - You did it together,

- you and her. You are in it together! - No!

Stay away from me, both of you!

No.

No...

No.

Francis? Francis?

No. No. No.

No.

Where's Mister Wells?

Tell me.

I do not...

I must have drunk too much, I don't remember anything.

You drank to forget.

No me...

Really, don't...

Do you know what you did?

Let me tell you something about Crosbie.

He escaped and left you here

because you are forgot about yourself the moment after you opened your thighs.

You are nothing to him.

You are a whore.

You are nothing.

Lydia?

Watch it.

Look!

It was you. Get the fuck out of my house!

The ship?

She's gone.

- No. No! - Francis, we can't do anything, stop it!

I'm sorry.

Where is he? Where is it?

I don't know, but we'll find it.

We will find it.

We will find it.

Come.

Go back to bed.

I can explain!

Aye? Well, then speak.

My name is Crosbie Wells, I made a fortune

in Dunstan Valley, you can check.

I was robbed

from a prisoner, he took...

He took my papers

and my gold and he hid the gold somewhere on this ship.

That's why I'm here.

To take it back, I...

Okay okay.

I didn't want to travel underground.

I don't want to hurt anyone, I...

I just want to get my money back.

- Handcuff him. - No.

No, it's... it's here!

No! It's here somewhere!

Let me search!

I've heard enough, make sure he can't escape.

I will share it with you!

We will split it in half!

- I beg you! - Load the load!

Get ready to sail!

Don't spin it before it gets into the water.

We must bring at least one boat ashore. Agree?

Concentrate, damn it!

If you damage my boat, you will be whipped!

Hey!

How do you like it?

I will kill him.

- We need to find him first. - Lydia, I have your name.

- As long as he is alive... - The boat belongs to him.

Yes, Francis, I understand, thank you.

I wish I didn't have to leave.

Don't go.

No, I have to go and claim a share.

I signed a contract.

I thought you were here for love.

I may have loved her.

I wish I had.

You can't keep it for yourself.

Te Pounamu.

You have to give up what you get.

Hey!

This is Maori land!

Hell to call home.

My mountain...

It's Tuhua.

My river is... Arahura .

My canoe is... Takitimu .

My hapu ...

It's Ngati Waewae.

My iwi ...

It's Ngai Tahu .

And my name is Te Rau Tauwhare.

Nice to meet you.

Why don't you tell me your name?

I don't mean to disrespect you.

I just try not to use it anymore.

Hold.

I'm sorry to have crossed over.

That's all I have.

Did it hurt you?

Yup.

I cut off a man's face.

I left his mark.

In this way.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Was yours bleeding?

Yup.

Isn't it a shock to see you sometimes?

If you don't look in the mirror for a while, do you forget it?

No.

I never forget it.

Crosbie Wells.

Emery Staines.

So... this is paradise.

Miss Anna Wetherell.

Mr. Edgar Clinch.

No baggage?

We'll think about it, don't worry.

Board and lodging and a hot bath every week,

whatever you want to eat and drink and send the bill to me.

Agree...

A pleasure, Miss Wetherell. This way, please.

If you want to follow me.

Thank you sir.

It is right above.

Pay attention to the step.

Yours is number six.

What would you like to eat?

I can make you potatoes, potatoes or... potatoes.

Do you have something to drink?

It's time to get up!

I brought you something.

I got some clothes. They were dragged into a trunk on the beach.

Try them.

The pink one...

It's for when you work.

You know... a vibrant color.

Let's show it to everyone.

The others?

Well, you can...

Wear them when you prefer.

A nice hat, a pair of gloves.

Try them.

You know...

It costs me a lot of money to keep you here.

Is not enough.

Better get to work.

But look at it.

He saw the light.

Perfect.

Now...

Do something for this nest.

Lord!

That Johnny has the money.

Lord!

No, we don't stop in Chinatown.

Lord!

Do you see anything you like, sir?

How much for you?

No, no, no.

In front, where they can see.

Do you want to know the secret of my success, Mr. Nilssen?

- Not particularly. - A girl for a hotel.

See, you can't risk making friends.

Divisi...

And you win.

I'll make you a bath, Miss Wetherell.

The water is warm.

Miss Wetherell?

You don't want it to cool down.

Mr. Sook?

Do you remember me?

You gave it to me,

first time.

- Opium. - I gave you laudanum because you were suffering.

The same thing.

It's your fault.

Poison.

It's your fault.

What are you doing here?

I went back to look for you and you were gone.

I was under arrest.

Intoxication in public.

They brought me here.

It's your fault.

He had to come back two months ago.

Yup?

So who the hell are you?

The ship was sold the evening you left.

New management.

We are out.

Crosbie Wells?

I didn't think you had heard of it.

In fact, yes.

On our first trip to Hokitika, we found a clandestine man.

His name was Crosbie Wells.

Well, he must have lied.

- But why? - He was a stowaway.

Obviously it had a fake name.

What happened to him?

There is something strange in all this.

Why wasn't I told?

If you have a problem,

take it out on Mr. Lauderback.

It is he who sold the ship.

No explanation, no liquidation.

The cards have been presented, it's done.

- I'm just the messenger. - No.

Now you are the captain.

So what happened to the stowaway?

He threw himself into the sea and swam to the shore.

They never saw him again.

What about baggage?

Disappeared.

So we're looking for it.

- Francis. - Hokitika, Nicholson, Lyttelton,

Jackson, Melbourne, Chalmers.

- It's the path. It could be anywhere. - He's still out there.

- Crosbie is still out there. - We played a dangerous hand.

- It's not over yet. - We played and we lost.

We have lost gold. We have lost Wells.

But we won the ship.

We can go away.

We find a building site, we change figurehead,

- we change the satiame... - We change the name?

The ship was sold to Crosbie Wells.

Who named Francis Carver as Captain.

What if he finds out?

If we go away now, he will never know.

Anyway, we have your passport. How will you prove it?

Let's go back to San Francisco,

let's pick up where we left off. Me and you...

- Together. - With what salary?

- I'll start delivering the loads. - And how much do you think you will earn?

- Five pounds a week? Maybe ten. - It's to survive.

Really?

I can survive, Francis. This place is for survival.

What I want...

It's a life.

Lord of Heaven...

We entrust this man to your love and your mercy.

May he remain peaceful for eternity.

Every death is a mystery.

We ask ourselves, why him?

Why now?

Why this way?

Lord...

Give us the patience to accept what we don't know.

Teach...

To entrust us to your inscrutable divinity...

And help us silence our doubts and fears.

Amen.

Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

Stop!

Anna?

Anna?

Anna!

Show yourselves!

Anna!

Here you are.

Anna, you will go back to the city and start working again!

No.

Anna!

I have been very clear. You can't hide here.

If you keep coming here nobody will want to touch you.

Men don't want a woman...

Who frequents the Chinese!

Do you think you know what men want?

A great hunger for beauty.

This is what you told me.

But that's not what they want.

This is not why they come.

They come because, whatever the pain they feel,

they want me to feel worse than they do.

This is what they pay for.

Every man...

He wants his bitch...

Be unhappy.

I am exactly...

What they want.

All right!

But you won't work here, do you understand?

Don't wear the pink dress.

Wear simple colors.

And keep your head down...

And your mouth shut!

You don't touch it.

Do you understand me?

Do not touch.

She is mine!

It belongs to me.

Here we go!

She is mine!

Hands down!

For the pain.

- No. No, no. - No, no, no, it's all right, Anna.

It's all right, Anna.

I'm just putting you to bed, okay?

I'm just putting you to bed.

Come on up.

Dear, you really need to take care of yourself, don't you?

But help me a little here.

Let's take this off.

Everything is alright.

It's something I've seen before.

Dear. Lie down, then.

Done.

Now let's take this off.

Don't worry, my girl. Quiet.

Slowly, Anna.

We can take care of it.

All of us.

You will work as long as you can and then we will all take care of it.

In fact, it would be nice...

Having a little guy around.

It will be nice.

Whose is it?

You know that?

It's mine.

I can't stop thinking about him.

When you see a dead man...

It's strange, you can't understand...

How was it really...

When he was alive.

A dead man looks...

Built.

Makes you think of the builder,

inventor. You...

You see it and...

You wonder how it was made.

You were his friend.

Yup.

Did you ever mention me?

He never talked about you.

Gentlemen.

Lydia.

Mr. Lauderback.

Thing...

What are you doing here?

I'm here to bury my husband.

But apparently I came too late.
