"Engaged enemy frigate at six bells." 49 00:10:01,809 --> 00:10:04,437 - Straight at 'em, Mr Mowett. - Straight at 'em, sir. 50 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,940 Bill. 51 00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:09,901 Leave the swords. Get the captain's silver below. 52 00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:14,030 She's not in range yet. Stand fast till she's close enough. 53 00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:17,951 - Close with him amidships. - Midships it is, sir. 54 00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,954 For God's sake, don't drop anything. 55 00:10:26,251 --> 00:10:27,460 Steady. 56 00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:31,089 - Hold your positions. - Hold your position.

Davies, Jemmy, get Mr Pullings below. 59 00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,767 Aye, sir. 60 00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:45,395 Mr Blakeney, pass the word for the captain. 61 00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:48,231 Clear the forward pin rails. 62 00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,281 More sand on the floor. 63 00:10:57,865 --> 00:10:59,951 On the up-roll, fire! 64 00:11:12,964 --> 00:11:14,632 Down! 65 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,146 Relieving-tackles on the tiller. You men, collect these wounded. 66 00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:35,361 - Keep 'em spitting, Mr Calamy. - Aye, sir. Reload and give 'em hell. 67 00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:03,806 Sir. To the taffrail. 68 00:12:10,355 --> 00:12:13,441 The rudder's shot away. The steering don't answer. 69 00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:15,818 We're fish in a barrel. 70 00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,411 Why are we not firing? 71 00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:31,376 Let me through. 72 00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:33,962 Here, Joe. 73 00:12:34,045 --> 00:12:36,130 Hold it in there. 74 00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:45,598 - He's on the larboard bow, sir. - Bring up your small arms. 75 00:12:48,685 --> 00:12:51,187 Prepare to repel boarders. 76 00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:54,440 Seize your weapons and wait for the word. 77 00:12:56,526 --> 00:12:58,861 Your orders, sir? 78 00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:04,200 Call the gun crews to deck. Rig man-ropes over the stern and pull the boats in. 79 00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:06,870 Put us in that fog, Tom. 80 00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:20,383 Pull together, men. 81 00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,594 Pull for the fog bank. 82 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,514 Run 'em out. 83 00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:32,562 Fire! 84 00:13:33,855 --> 00:13:37,901 She's opened up a seam. We need to get some oakum and pound it in. 85 00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:40,737 Joe, a mallet and some irons. 86 00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:48,870 She's gaining on us. 87 00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:59,923 - We're nearly there, boys. - Pull. 88 00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:03,218 - Reach for it, men. - We're home inside that fog. 89 00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:09,307 Fire! 90 00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:13,811 Pull for Lucky Jack. 91 00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:16,064 We've done it. 92 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,236 Pipe down. Silence on deck. 93 00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:34,290 They'll not find us in here. 94 00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:38,002 Quiet, lads. No shouts, no calls. 95 00:15:05,989 --> 00:15:08,199 Avast rowing. 96 00:15:11,119 --> 00:15:13,538 Well done, lads. 97 00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:40,899 Two feet six inches, sir, and holding. 98 00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:47,280 - Good work, Mr Lamb. - Thank you, sir. 99 00:15:57,832 --> 00:16:00,001 So, what's the butcher's bill? 100 00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:02,670 Nine dead, 27 wounded. 101 00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,389 Joe Plaice. 102 00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:18,811 He has a severely depressed fracture of the skull. I don't think he'll see out the night. 103 00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:21,689 Lord Blakeney. 104 00:16:24,067 --> 00:16:26,361 Just a broken arm, sir. 105 00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,615 You're in very good hands. 106 00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:38,915 I'm doing everything I can. I know you were close to his father. 107 00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:43,378 His father would've understood. He knew the life. His mother, however... 108 00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:46,965 Let me take a look at that brow of yours. 109 00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:48,925 What? 110 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,766 Damn, he was good. Just came out of nowhere. 111 00:16:56,849 --> 00:17:01,980 Hit us with a full broadside, cut across our tail and took out our rudder. 112 00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:04,315 Damn fine gunnery. 113 00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:09,946 We only slipped away because of the fog. Quite fortunate, really. 114 00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:14,784 He may have had the weather gauge, but we had the weather gods. 115 00:17:15,827 --> 00:17:21,666 I have no idea what it is you're talking about, but he did seem to come off rather well. 116 00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:27,922 Seven weeks sailing, and he happens in darkness on our exact position. 117 00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:34,429 The French have their spies in England and elsewhere. As do we. 118 00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,931 Indeed. 119 00:17:38,141 --> 00:17:44,230 If he knew we were looking for him, he could have stood to sea and passed well clear. 120 00:17:44,314 --> 00:17:47,483 Well then, perhaps he was looking for us. 121 00:18:13,676 --> 00:18:16,221 If she was a frigate, then I am a Dutchman. 122 00:18:16,304 --> 00:18:19,265 It was an unfair match. There was no dishonour in it. 123 00:18:19,349 --> 00:18:21,601 She was more like a ship of the line. 124 00:18:21,684 --> 00:18:25,021 You have to wonder about her hull. Our shots wouldn't penetrate. 125 00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,732 Triple-shotted at 200 yards - no effect. 126 00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:31,569 She had the weather gauge and a clear advantage in firepower. 127 00:18:31,653 --> 00:18:34,239 What is the weather gauge? 128 00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:37,867 - Shall I show you again, Stephen? - Not on the cloth. 129 00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:44,082 It means she had the wind in her favour, therefore control of the engagement. 130 00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:47,502 And she had longer guns, so she could hit us beyond our range. 131 00:18:47,585 --> 00:18:51,256 The simple fact is we were soundly beaten. 132 00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:58,805 - Heavy frigate like that in the Pacific... - Could tip the war in Napoleon's favour. 133 00:18:59,347 --> 00:19:04,435 By comparison, the Surprise is a somewhat aged man-of-war. 134 00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:12,944 - Am I not correct? - Would you call me an aged man of war? 135 00:19:13,027 --> 00:19:16,364 The Surprise is not old. No one would call her old. 136 00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:22,620 She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine sea boat, weatherly, stiff and fast. 137 00:19:22,704 --> 00:19:26,082 Very fast, if she's well-handled. 138 00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:28,293 No, she's not old. 139 00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:31,629 She's in her prime. 140 00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:36,301 We can patch up the main and mizzen. Foresail's gone, so we'll bend our spare. 141 00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:40,471 Mr Lamb is confident with basic repairs. We can get home as we are. 142 00:19:40,555 --> 00:19:43,391 We're not going home. 143 00:19:52,317 --> 00:19:56,487 But to refit we need a port, and the Acheron may be still looking for us. 144 00:19:56,571 --> 00:20:00,909 We can refit at sea. Here, where it shoals. 145 00:20:02,118 --> 00:20:06,873 As you said, she is taking the war to the South Seas. We are supposed to stop her. 146 00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:14,214 But, sir - with respect - she's a vastly heavier ship. She's out of our class. 147 00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:18,843 She could be halfway to Cape Horn by the time we're repaired. 148 00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:22,597 Well then, there's not a moment to lose. 149 00:20:41,032 --> 00:20:44,202 Is it true they put the last stitch through your nose? 150 00:20:44,285 --> 00:20:46,371 What do you mean? 151 00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:52,752 Joe said when you die, they stitch you in your hammock with the last stitch in your nose, 152 00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:56,047 just to make sure you're not asleep. 153 00:20:59,676 --> 00:21:03,137 Not through the nose. You'll tell them? 154 00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:04,324 It's all right. It's just the laudanum speaking. 155 00:22:37,899 --> 00:22:40,693 I've never seen a braver patient. 156 00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:49,577 Poor darling. Never mind, soon have you fixed up. 157 00:22:49,661 --> 00:22:51,621 I want good work now. 158 00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:56,209 I'll need two men into the starboard forechannels. Roberts, Chadwick. 159 00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:58,378 That's nice work there. 160 00:22:58,461 --> 00:23:01,756 Repair won't do here. I need these replaced. 161 00:23:08,471 --> 00:23:11,808 Mr Calamy. There's something might interest you here. 162 00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:16,479 Look. The captain carved that. When he was a mid, no more than your age. 163 00:23:16,563 --> 00:23:18,439 He's known this ship man and boy. 164 00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:23,736 He says there's enough of his blood in the woodwork for the ship to almost be a relation. 165 00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:28,074 I do understand your point. Your knowledge is beyond question. 166 00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:33,580 However, a week in the Brazilian rainforest looking for a new mast simply will not do. 167 00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:35,915 The Acheron will be halfway to China. 168 00:23:35,999 --> 00:23:41,754 Mr Lamb, as always, will do his best. Which is all I can hope to expect from any man. 169 00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:17,582 Is them his brains? 170 00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:21,544 No, that's just dried blood. Those are his brains. 171 00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:30,220 Physician, he is. Ain't one of your common surgeons. 172 00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:33,473 - Can I have the coin, please? - Sir. 173 00:24:38,186 --> 00:24:40,939 He wouldn't look at you for under ten guineas on land. 174 00:24:41,022 --> 00:24:43,191 And he knows his birds and beasts. 175 00:24:43,274 --> 00:24:46,653 You show him a beetle and he'll tell you what it's thinking. 176 00:24:46,736 --> 00:24:50,281 Back to work, you loafers. Eckhart, use your pipe. 177 00:24:50,365 --> 00:24:52,784 Let's get on with it, gentlemen. 178 00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:56,663 You're not a pennyweight of use gawpin' here. 179 00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:05,838 Still hasn't said a word, sir. 180 00:25:11,261 --> 00:25:14,264 Lord Blakeney. Feeling better? 181 00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:16,432 Much better, thank you, sir. 182 00:25:16,516 --> 00:25:18,601 Well, good. Good. 183 00:25:20,478 --> 00:25:24,607 The doctor told me you were fond of reading, so I... 184 00:25:30,864 --> 00:25:34,367 It has all of his major battles and some fine illustrations. 185 00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:36,369 Thank you, sir. 186 00:25:37,579 --> 00:25:40,164 Did you ever meet Lord Nelson, sir? 187 00:25:40,248 --> 00:25:43,960 I had the honour of serving with him. At the Nile. A great victory. 188 00:25:44,043 --> 00:25:50,133 You can find it in here, actually.

That's why she's so fast. 216 00:29:18,341 --> 00:29:20,969 Heavier, but fast despite it. 217 00:29:22,011 --> 00:29:27,350 That's the future. What a fascinating modern age we live in. 218 00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:31,312 Planking and framing like that would make her hull 2ft thick. Solid oak. 219 00:29:31,396 --> 00:29:36,359 That's why we couldn't dent her. She's probably capable of making 12 to 14 knots. 220 00:29:37,026 --> 00:29:40,363 Now we know.

And it's leadin' us right into a trap. 411 00:47:59,087 --> 00:48:01,965 She's making a run for the Horn, sir. 412 00:48:02,048 --> 00:48:05,009 I'll not vouch for this mast.

Warley was popular. 458 00:55:28,536 --> 00:55:32,624 Have they expressed any feelings on the matter to you? 459 00:55:39,881 --> 00:55:42,926 Jack, before answering, I'm compelled to ask, 460 00:55:43,009 --> 00:55:47,138 am I speaking with my old friend or to the ship's captain? 461 00:55:48,223 --> 00:55:51,851 To the captain I'd say there's little I detest more than an informer. 462 00:55:51,935 --> 00:55:55,188 - Now you're talking like an Irishman. - I am an Irishman. 463 00:55:55,271 --> 00:55:57,315 As a friend, then. 464 00:55:57,398 --> 00:56:03,238 As a friend, I would say that I have never once doubted your abilities as a captain. 465 00:56:03,321 --> 00:56:05,240 Speak plainly, Stephen. 466 00:56:07,033 --> 00:56:11,746 Perhaps we should have turned back weeks ago. 467 00:56:11,829 --> 00:56:15,708 The men, of course they would follow Lucky Jack anywhere, 468 00:56:15,792 --> 00:56:18,044 rightfully confident of victory. 469 00:56:18,127 --> 00:56:23,758 But therein lies the problem. You're not accustomed to defeat. 470 00:56:25,301 --> 00:56:31,516 And chasing this larger, faster ship with its long guns is beginning to smack of pride. 471 00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:35,019 It's not a question of pride. It is a question of duty. 472 00:56:35,103 --> 00:56:37,564 Duty. Yes, I've heard it well spoken of. 473 00:56:37,647 --> 00:56:42,277 Be as satiric as you like. Viewing the world through a microscope is your prerogative. 474 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,906 This is a ship of war. I will grind whatever grist the mill requires to fulfil my duty. 475 00:56:46,990 --> 00:56:49,367 Whatever the cost? 476 00:56:49,450 --> 00:56:51,703 Whatever the cost. 477 00:56:51,786 --> 00:56:54,581 To follow orders with no regard for cost. 478 00:56:54,664 --> 00:56:58,960 Can you really claim there's nothing personal in this call to duty? 479 00:56:59,043 --> 00:57:01,546 Orders are subject to the requirement of the service. 480 00:57:01,629 --> 00:57:07,927 My orders were to follow him as far as Brazil. I exceeded my orders a long time ago. 481 00:57:10,138 --> 00:57:12,223 Got it. 482 00:57:15,768 --> 00:57:18,771 The wind's backing, sir. 483 00:57:18,855 --> 00:57:22,901 Sir, we just can't hold this westerly course any longer. 484 00:57:23,484 --> 00:57:29,532 If we can't sail through the damn wind, Tom, we'll bloody well sail around it. Due south. 485 00:57:29,616 --> 00:57:32,619 How far south, sir? 486 00:57:32,702 --> 00:57:36,247 As far as is necessary, Mr Pullings. 487 00:57:36,331 --> 00:57:38,791 - Aye, sir. - Lively. 488 00:57:39,876 --> 00:57:44,047 - Due south, please, Mr Bonden. - Due south, sir. 489 00:57:46,591 --> 00:57:49,761 Heave. Steady. 490 00:58:25,046 --> 00:58:29,384 Clearly something nautical and fascinating just happened. I am at a loss. 491 00:58:29,467 --> 00:58:33,972 We have made our turn northward. We are headed back toward the sun. 492 00:58:34,055 --> 00:58:36,140 To the sun. 493 00:58:38,768 --> 00:58:42,397 And by way of anticipation of this event, 494 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:48,111 I have asked Killick to prepare something special. 495 00:58:48,194 --> 00:58:52,490 - Killick.

They're said to be full of strange and wonderful beasts. 516 01:01:28,521 --> 01:01:31,608 When we get there, we'll have to stop for food and water. 517 01:01:31,691 --> 01:01:35,653 I promise you, during that time - several days at least - 518 01:01:35,737 --> 01:01:40,158 you can wander at will, collecting bugs and beetles to your heart's content. 519 01:01:40,241 --> 01:01:44,746 You'll be the first naturalist to set foot on the islands, I'll wager. 520 01:01:44,829 --> 01:01:48,208 I would like that of all things. 521 01:01:51,836 --> 01:01:55,089 - Is it an insect? - Yes. 522 01:01:56,925 --> 01:02:01,763 Doesn't look like one.

And my answer is no. 890 01:45:39,589 --> 01:45:43,968 You'll lead your gun crew, then when we board, you'll take command of the ship. 891 01:45:44,052 --> 01:45:48,431 - Do I make myself clear? - Take command of the ship? Thank you, sir. 892 01:45:48,515 --> 01:45:51,059 - Back to your station. - Yes, sir. 893 01:45:54,229 --> 01:45:57,440 On your right upper arm, to tell friend from foe. 894 01:45:57,524 --> 01:46:00,151 Davies, this arm.

More than twice our guns and numbers. 906 01:46:37,438 --> 01:46:40,692 And they will sell their lives dearly. 907 01:46:42,527 --> 01:46:46,781 Topmen, your handling of the sheets to be lubberly and un-navylike, 908 01:46:46,865 --> 01:46:49,534 until the signal to spill the wind from our sails. 909 01:46:49,617 --> 01:46:53,037 This will bring us almost to a complete stop. 910 01:46:53,121 --> 01:46:56,749 Gun crews, you must run out and tie down in double-quick time. 911 01:46:56,833 --> 01:47:02,130 With the rear wheels removed you've gained elevation, but without recoil you can't reload. 912 01:47:02,213 --> 01:47:07,510 So, gun captains, that gives you one shot from the larboard battery. One shot only. 913 01:47:07,594 --> 01:47:12,390 You'll fire for her mainmast.
