00:03:00accused gentlemen of the jury our task here today is an exceptional one this
00:03:16case is without precedent in the history of the law and of the sea nothing like
00:03:20it has ever come before any human tribunal our gentlemen when ordinary
00:03:25land folks such as you and I take passage on a ship at sea they're as helpless as
00:03:31little children utterly dependent upon the skill of officers and crew but this
00:03:36prisoner was an experienced seaman wise in all the ways of the sea when he made
00:03:40himself responsible for the fate of the survivors of the William Brown the score
00:03:46of those survivors present here in court have testified that he saved them but he
00:03:51also saved himself and there were 18 other human beings on the good ship
00:03:56William Brown who might now be alive where are they her husband that child's
00:04:05father that woman's only son where are they are not here to testify because they
00:04:16were destroyed willfully and intentionally by the hand of this man 18 human
00:04:21souls 19 if we include lieutenant Carrington whose vile and death has been
00:04:27described here by his sister Margaret Carrington keeping this in mind we can
00:04:32understand why the prisoners had no word to say in his own defense even his wise
00:04:36and experienced counsel have been able only to weakly claim that he saved as many as
00:04:42he killed let us examine the record of the prisoner for evidence to support this
00:04:47claim to philanthropy what is his profession a slaver when he sailed on the
00:04:53William Brown it was upon slave trade business do these facts present to you a
00:04:59philanthropist a generous warm-hearted saver of human lives they do not they
00:05:06present him for what he is an incredibly selfish intolerable carless mass murderer
00:05:12he isn't he isn't a murderer your honor I was there I saw it silence the jury has heard your
00:05:20testimony be still I can't I mustn't he saved my life he saved my mother's life and he saved
00:05:26her life too and mine and mine too it's murder to take a life even to save your life or yours it was a
00:05:34god-like thing to do nobody but God has the right to do it you can't save some by killing others
00:05:39what would you have done if you'd been there in Taylor's place is that what he did
00:05:41and started Blackstone first I will have to stand for this is for a sir gentlemen gentlemen please
00:05:48officers police clear the courtroom
00:06:04we are
00:06:14and
00:06:17and
00:06:19and
00:06:29The unanimous verdict of the jury finds the prisoner guilty as charged.
00:06:50The prisoner will be removed to his cell until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
00:06:54at which time the court will pronounce sentence.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:29If it please the court, as an agent of Her Majesty the Queen of England,
00:07:36I beg you to permit me to make a statement concerning this case.
00:07:39Here are my credentials.
00:07:43This seems somewhat unusual.
00:07:45But if you have any additional light to throw on this affair,
00:07:47I'm sure the court will be very pleased.
00:07:49Proceed, Mr. Woodley.
00:07:51There are certain circumstances connected with the prisoner's past
00:07:53which Her Majesty's government feels should be brought to this Honourable Court's attention
00:07:57before sentences passed.
00:07:59It is true that Michael Taylor was involved in the African slave trade.
00:08:04His career first came to my government's attention
00:08:06when he was captured aboard a slave ship.
00:08:27To die, to sleep no more, and by a sleep, to say we end the heartache
00:08:36and the thousand natural shocks that the flesh is heir to.
00:08:39There's a consummation devoutly to be wished.
00:08:42To die, to sleep, to sleep no more, and by a sleep,
00:08:47to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that the flesh is heir to.
00:08:52There's a consummation devoutly to be wished.
00:08:55To die, to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream.
00:09:11Nugget! Nugget!
00:09:17Oh!
00:09:18Same old nightmare, huh?
00:09:20Yep.
00:09:22I dreamt I fell into the water again.
00:09:24I was going down for the third time when you swam up and saved me.
00:09:28Thanks, Nugget.
00:09:30Tell me something.
00:09:32Being as you're so scared of the water, what made you follow the sea for a living?
00:09:36To prove to myself that I wasn't afraid of the water.
00:09:39But I am.
00:09:43What have you been reading?
00:09:44The Tragedy of Hamlet.
00:09:47What's it about?
00:09:49Well, it's about a man who couldn't make up his mind.
00:09:52That's the tragedy.
00:09:54Can't make up his mind to what?
00:09:57He couldn't make up his mind whether to live or die.
00:10:00To be or not to be.
00:10:02Just like those blacks down there below deck.
00:10:05Most of them can't make up their minds whether they want to live or die.
00:10:08That's what you get for reading those books.
00:10:11It softens you up.
00:10:13The trouble with you is you're getting too sentimental.
00:10:16Hm.
00:10:17You're the one that's sentimental.
00:10:18I am not.
00:10:20If you're not sentimental, why are you wearing your mother's wedding ring in your ear?
00:10:24Well, that?
00:10:25Well, that?
00:10:26Oh.
00:10:28Well, that's only because, uh...
00:10:31Well, uh...
00:10:33When I run short of money, it...
00:10:38Captain Grandly must be laying it on him again.
00:10:41Yeah.
00:10:42I'll teach you to be quiet down there.
00:10:55Be quiet, you black bear boy.
00:10:58Oh!
00:11:00Oh!
00:11:02Oh!
00:11:04Oh!
00:11:07Oh!
00:11:09Oh!
00:11:10Oh!
00:11:15Help me!
00:11:20Oh!
00:11:22Well...
00:11:24Looks like he got him shut up again.
00:11:26Father!
00:11:27Mr. Taylor.
00:11:28They got Captain Grandly down in the hall.
00:11:30He fell in and they got him.
00:11:40Get the medicine kit and some more.
00:11:49Aye, aye, sir.
00:11:56I'll leave you alone.
00:11:59I'm done here.
00:12:02Howdy, you take charge of the ship.
00:12:06Taylor, you help him.
00:12:08And when you reach Savannah,
00:12:11turn the ship's log and papers over to Updike and Morgan.
00:12:17But if the British sight you, destroy them.
00:12:21Unless you get a chance to turn them over to James.
00:12:32Did you hear what he was trying to say?
00:12:35It sounded like a name.
00:12:37I didn't catch it.
00:12:38I suppose I ought to feel sorry for Captain Grandly, but I'm not.
00:12:48If the Blacks hadn't got him, one of the crew would.
00:12:52What's our course?
00:12:53Due west.
00:12:57I'd shift it to north by west.
00:12:59Why, that'd bring us up by Secundi.
00:13:04Say, Nuggin, don't you remember what they told us at Lagos?
00:13:08Come here.
00:13:09Look.
00:13:10Captain Grandly's got it written right here on the chart.
00:13:12There's an English patrol ship off Secundi.
00:13:14Exactly.
00:13:15Did you ever study strategy, Potter?
00:13:19I never studied nothing.
00:13:22Well, suppose you want to hide a tree.
00:13:25A tree?
00:13:26How could you hide a tree?
00:13:28In a forest.
00:13:29But this patrol ship ain't in the woods.
00:13:31Well, maybe not, but...
00:13:33Well, how many times have you been chased by a policeman?
00:13:37More times than you can count.
00:13:38Well, then you ought to know it's much safer to follow a policeman than to have him following you.
00:13:45I never thought of that.
00:13:49What's your course?
00:13:50New west, sir.
00:13:51Bring her up north by west.
00:13:52Aye, sir.
00:13:56If we do sight the English patrol, we can out-sail her.
00:13:58Sure, sure we can.
00:14:01Nuggin, do you ever think I'll have brains like you?
00:14:08Now, we'll have you.
00:15:04I don't want to die in the water. I don't want to.
00:15:18Shut up!
00:15:19But if my thumbs pull out of here, I'll fall in the water.
00:15:22I can't stand it.
00:15:23Shut up!
00:15:25You, Mr. Talented, what do you think?
00:15:28I think we're wasting time, sir.
00:15:30Really? In your advice in the matter?
00:15:32Drop them into the sea, just as they did with their own human cargo before we boarded their ship.
00:15:36A hard suggestion, but unfortunately it might be found upon as murder.
00:15:40Murder? But they're common slavers, sir.
00:15:42They were bound from the River Gaboon to Havana.
00:15:45Ships don't leave the Gold Coast with empty holes.
00:15:47I'm not commending the law. I'm merely upholding it.
00:15:49There was no tangible evidence of slaves, so consequently, the men must hang by their thumbs until we reach Liverpool.
00:16:06Cut us down. We'll talk.
00:16:11Have the gentlemen cut down, Mr. Belton.
00:16:13Aye, sir.
00:16:13We picked up Nuggan here off the Gold Coast while we were waiting for a capital train of slaves.
00:16:25Nuggan's ship found it in the shoals of the Delaware, and our captain signed him with the crew.
00:16:30He's pretty green.
00:16:31He don't know he's signed up for a slave ship until he's aboard.
00:16:34Then it's too late.
00:16:35We're three days out to sea when them slaves start making trouble.
00:16:38Sucking blood, you know.
00:16:40We call it making sangaree, so they take a note to stick together.
00:16:44When the captain hears this, he reaches for his whip.
00:16:47He goes down below and puts the nine-tails across their backs.
00:16:50And one of them slaves grabs a shackle bolt loose and rams it right through the captain's head from ear to ear.
00:16:54So that makes me captain, see.
00:16:57But I don't like responsibility.
00:17:01So Nuggan Taylor here, he gets the job.
00:17:05I see.
00:17:06And how many slaves did you throw overboard?
00:17:10None.
00:17:11That's a lie.
00:17:13Mr. Tarrant, I want the truth of this, Taylor.
00:17:16I'm giving you the truth.
00:17:18I had 600 slaves aboard, and they hadn't asked to be there.
00:17:22When night came, I hugged the coast and allowed them to swim ashore.
00:17:25Why?
00:17:26Why did you do that?
00:17:30Because I...
00:17:31I can't see people die.
00:17:34That's funny.
00:17:36Slavery, and he doesn't like to see people die.
00:17:37Mr. Tarrant.
00:17:39But surely, sir, you don't believe this trumped-up story?
00:17:42You don't question his ability to vouchsail us, do you?
00:17:44No, sir, but...
00:17:45Well, then, if he could have vouchsail us, he wouldn't be here.
00:17:47He is here.
00:17:48So obviously, he's telling the truth.
00:17:51Do you still doubt him?
00:17:52I'm certain of one thing, sir.
00:17:55He...
00:17:55He's the original captain of the Blackbird.
00:17:58The captain of the Blackbird was Paul M. Granley.
00:18:01Well, now I know he's lying because Paul M. Granley is one of the richest men in the slave trade business.
00:18:05And personally, he supervises a trading post.
00:18:09Yes.
00:18:11You seem to know the name pretty well.
00:18:13Well, anyone connected with the C knows of Paul Granley?
00:18:15I don't.
00:18:17I've never heard of the man.
00:18:20A log and paper, sir, from the Blackbird.
00:18:22Yes.
00:18:23Have them red taped and sealed.
00:18:25They'll be delivered to the proper authorities when we land.
00:18:27Yes, sir.
00:18:27Slim Lucy Lister, yo-dee-o-dee-o.
00:18:46I never kissed her, yo-dee-o-dee-o.
00:18:51Blanky Lucy Lister, I never kissed her.
00:18:54But she had a sister, yo-dee-o-dee-o.
00:18:58Plump Sadie Danker, yo-dee-o-dee-o.
00:19:02Hung like an egg.
00:19:07Unusual procedure, an English officer bringing water to prisoners.
00:19:11But I happen to have certain regrets about my action this afternoon.
00:19:15Hey, me.
00:19:18You're the luckiest fellow I ever knew.
00:19:20Now, look here.
00:19:21I came down here to, well, sort of apologize.
00:19:25And I met by insolence.
00:19:27I don't like insolence.
00:19:30What do you like?
00:19:31I don't know whether you think you're being funny or not.
00:19:33You thought nothing of taking advantage of your position to insult us.
00:19:36Now you come to see us.
00:19:38Why?
00:19:39You would like to know, if I was with Captain Paul M. Granley when he died,
00:19:44was he conscious?
00:19:45Did he betray anything before he passed away?
00:19:47England hasn't monopoly on your kind, Mr. Tarrantin.
00:19:50There are sons of rich parents in America
00:19:52who also look upon the trafficking in human flesh as business.
00:19:56Sooner or later you'll get caught.
00:19:58But it's not my business to catch you.
00:20:03A year on a slave ship wouldn't do you any harm.
00:20:06Get the stench of the slave dick in your nostrils.
00:20:08Rub shoulders with followers and gamblers who've got scurvy and mouth rot.
00:20:12You never heard of ophthalmia.
00:20:15Captives of white men get it.
00:20:16They go blind.
00:20:22The floor of the ocean is paved with the bones of slaves.
00:20:25And now Mr. Tarrantin offers his apology.
00:20:30Well, that's the second bet you won.
00:20:34But there's a third.
00:20:37But you didn't know as many verses as I.
00:20:39Well, that's a bad bet, my friend.
00:20:44Sweet Gertie Garber, yo-dee-yo-dee-yo
00:20:47She married a barber, yo-dee-yo-dee-yo
00:20:52Sweet Gertie Garber married a barber
00:20:56But she'll be at the harbor, yo-dee-yo-dee-yo
00:20:59But she'll be at the harbor, yo-dee-yo-dee-yo
00:21:03But she'll be at the harbor, yo-dee-yo-dee-yo
00:21:09The captain and the mate of the back door is there to be held.
00:21:23The captain and the mate of the back door is there to be held.
00:21:25Yes, sir.
00:21:35The captain and the mate of the back door is there to be held.
00:21:37Yes, sir.
00:22:07No-o-o
00:22:08Upper crust.
00:22:09A fluffy duck.
00:22:10Got to plot them kind.
00:22:12You are my son.
00:22:28Stan!
00:22:30Well, sis!
00:22:34Stanley!
00:22:36Margaret, the last time I saw you, you were beautiful.
00:22:39Now you're twice as much.
00:22:41Silly.
00:22:42All right, Hendrick.
00:22:48Coincidentally, hello.
00:22:49Yes, sir. And hello to you, sir.
00:22:52Skip or do it now. Get along.
00:22:53Skip or do it now.
00:23:00According to my report, the Blackbird was chased before.
00:23:04You ought to be congratulated, Captain.
00:23:06She easily outsailed every other patrol ship.
00:23:08She outsailed me, too.
00:23:10Until the next morning, after she'd taken her own time to dump her slave cargo.
00:23:14Are you suggesting by any chance that the Blackbird was thrown into your hands?
00:23:18Most of her crew were familiar.
00:23:20The first mate, Potter, was a well-known slaver.
00:23:22This man, Taylor, he's new to us.
00:23:24He's not new to the slave trade.
00:23:27Last year, he was master of the school in Bennington
00:23:29when she sailed from Boston with trade goods to West Africa.
00:23:33I remember her. She burned off Lobos.
00:23:36Lloyds protested the insurance and proved that when she burned,
00:23:38she was about to take on a cargo of slaves.
00:23:41Well, that should remove all doubt about his being a slaver.
00:23:44However, about two months later,
00:23:47a man answering Taylor's description was deck officer on the Esmeralda
00:23:50when she ran ashore in broad daylight,
00:23:53permitting over a thousand slaves to escape.
00:23:56Are you, by any chance, suggesting that Captain Taylor
00:23:59is waging a kind of private war against the slave trade?
00:24:03You find that preposterous?
00:24:05I find it very mysterious.
00:24:08At any rate, it's worth a little further investigation.
00:24:10I've been in a lot of jails,
00:24:24but this is the first time I've been paid to get out of one.
00:24:26When that patrol ship took us,
00:24:28I was worried some about maybe you wasn't so smart as I thought.
00:24:31So look how it's come out.
00:24:32Here we are, where Will offers,
00:24:33we took that stinking cargo all the way to Savannah.
00:24:35You were certainly right about that strategy.
00:24:39They wasn't expecting us to tell the truth,
00:24:40so when we did, they didn't believe us.
00:24:43Beware the Greeks bearing gifts.
00:24:46What Greeks?
00:24:48Well, at the siege of Troy,
00:24:49the Greeks left a big wooden horse outside the city.
00:24:52What for?
00:24:53Well, that's what the Trojans wondered.
00:24:55After they pulled the horse inside the gates,
00:24:56the horse opened up and the Greek soldiers jumped out,
00:24:59and Troy fell.
00:25:01There you go, getting sentimental again.
00:25:03I ain't interested in horses,
00:25:04but I could get excited about a horse's neck.
00:25:21There you are.
00:25:22There don't warm the crockles of your house.
00:25:23There you go, sir.
00:25:33Better than that bilge water, eh?
00:25:35Yeah.
00:25:38Now in chess.
00:25:40When your opponent shoves up a pawn
00:25:41that looks like a present,
00:25:43it might be a mistake,
00:25:44and then again, it might be a trap.
00:25:47Is that all you can think about?
00:25:48Sure, I've been thinking about that
00:25:49all the time I was on the Blackbird.
00:25:50How can we talk about chess at a time like this?
00:25:52It's a wonderful game.
00:25:54Hiya.
00:25:55Hiya.
00:26:05Hello.
00:26:07There's a gentleman upstairs who wants to see you.
00:26:10Already?
00:26:10I'll show you.
00:26:14Among other things, I'm first of all at the time.
00:26:16Why did he think about chess at a time like this?
00:26:18Sure, I've been thinking about that all the time I was on the Blackbird.
00:26:18How can we talk about chess at a time like this?
00:26:20It's a wonderful game.
00:26:20Already?
00:26:21I'll show you.
00:26:24Among other things, I'm thirsty.
00:26:26So if you'll come over with me and my friend...
00:26:28I think your friend has other plans.
00:26:40I wonder if she plays chess.
00:26:50Come in.
00:26:56My name's Woodley, Mr. Taylor. Barton Woodley, British Intelligence.
00:26:59Thank you very much, Mr. Woodley, for getting me out of jail.
00:27:04Don't mention it. Sit down, won't you?
00:27:06No, thanks.
00:27:10Brandy.
00:27:13Cigar.
00:27:14No, thanks.
00:27:17Mr. Taylor, you were a ship's officer on the Blackbird.
00:27:19Is that a question?
00:27:20No, a fact.
00:27:22Mr. Woodley, your manners are those of a gentleman.
00:27:25But your methods are the old, familiar ones of a policeman.
00:27:28The same the world over.
00:27:29Sorry.
00:27:37I shall try and change my methods.
00:27:39I suggest you come right to the point.
00:27:42It occurred to me when I heard Captain Martisell's story...
00:27:45that the fate of the Blackbird was quite interesting.
00:27:49Someone on board was either incredibly stupid...
00:27:51or else desired her capture.
00:27:56You don't seem to me a stupid man.
00:28:01I've been studying you these last few minutes...
00:28:03and I'm an excellent judge of character.
00:28:05Then you should know I'm not a stool pigeon.
00:28:08I have no intention of helping you convict either me or my friends.
00:28:12Good day, Mr. Woodley.
00:28:19Good day, Mr. Woodley.
00:28:20Good day, Mr. Woodley.
00:28:25Is that still your last word?
00:28:28What difference does it make?
00:28:30Jail today or jail tomorrow?
00:28:32I can't let this opportunity pass.
00:28:36It may never come again.
00:28:39Possibly I am mistaken in you, and yet no other man will do.
00:28:44Will you come with me?
00:28:46With or without them?
00:28:48Without, and by this door.
00:29:01Please.
00:29:22Please.
00:29:31I can assure you, Mr. Taylor, that you're the first slaver...
00:29:37that has ever stood in this room.
00:29:45On that map is plotted the course of every English patrol ship.
00:29:53Across this desk come reports of every slave ship...
00:29:56picked up or sunk, of every slaver hanged.
00:29:59Do I interest you?
00:30:03What interests me more is why you persist in regarding me...
00:30:06as a Quaker or an abolitionist.
00:30:08I don't regard you as anything.
00:30:09I don't care what you are.
00:30:10You're the only man in the world who can do what I want done.
00:30:13If you were a thief, a traitor, or a complete scoundrel...
00:30:15you'd still be the only one.
00:30:17Well, no harm in denying the thief or the scoundrel.
00:30:20Mr. Taylor, I am about to destroy years of labor...
00:30:24or to crown that labor with a success.
00:30:26It's a gamble involving not only my own career...
00:30:29but the imperial policies of England.
00:30:32I'm taking this risk...
00:30:34in the hope of deeming the slave trade a mortal blow.
00:30:43Do you recognize these?
00:30:44It's a log in the papers of the Blackbird.
00:30:48Which you so studiously neglected to destroy.
00:30:53But amongst them...
00:30:55is this letter of instructions from Captain Grandly...
00:30:57to his associates in Savannah.
00:31:00In it he gives the secret routes to be followed by...
00:31:02every one of his ships during the next three months.
00:31:04To you alone could Grandly conceivably...
00:31:07have handed over such a letter before he died.
00:31:10If you deliver it in Savannah...
00:31:12There'll be an English patrol ship...
00:31:13laying in wait for every slaver that's sailed.
00:31:17Precisely.
00:31:19Does that interest you, Mr. Taylor?
00:31:23Very much.
00:31:25Thank God I'm a stubborn man.
00:31:27And you too.
00:31:31Don't you fellas in this sort of work...
00:31:33have ways of altering documents like this?
00:31:36Yes.
00:31:38Because this letter deals only with ships...
00:31:40leaving Africa during the next three months.
00:31:44If you could fix it to cover the next six months...
00:31:47you could get a crack at every slaver that Grandly controlled.
00:31:53Why don't you take a seat, Mr. Taylor?
00:31:57Cigar?
00:32:11Who... who's there?
00:32:12Me. Let me in.
00:32:13Did... did you get the Blackbird's papers?
00:32:27Oh, not even a look at them.
00:32:29They've probably got them over at the Admiralty now...
00:32:31reading them.
00:32:32Oh, don't worry.
00:32:33There can't be anything in Grandly's letters to implicate you.
00:32:36But, my dear friend, we're partners...
00:32:39and your misfortune is mine.
00:32:40Well, how soon can I sail for America?
00:32:43America?
00:32:45Yes, America.
00:32:47Why, I... I think there's a packet sailing at dawn.
00:32:51But...
00:32:53do you actually think they could arrest you?
00:32:55There are much more important things than that.
00:32:57Do you realize that a fortune should be had...
00:32:59we've been wasting our time running a frippany tipster service?
00:33:01But even that's gone now, with Grandly dead.
00:33:04Yes, but his business is still alive.
00:33:05Supposing I go to Savannah with the news of Grandly's death.
00:33:09Doesn't it occur to you that I can get hold of all the connections...
00:33:11before the competitors can get wind of it?
00:33:13There'd be a million in it.
00:33:15Is this ship tomorrow fast?
00:33:17Well, it's the William Brown.
00:33:19It's supposed to be the fastest passenger packet on the Atlantic.
00:33:22She is, huh?
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25Then buy her tonight.
00:33:26What?
00:33:27Buy her tonight.
00:33:28Keep it quiet.
00:33:29Just arrange to have it delivered to me...
00:33:30the moment I arrive with her in Philadelphia.
00:33:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:33She'll not only get me to Savannah first, but the slave coast next.
00:33:37She'll get us that million, all right.
00:33:40How would a million suit you, Mr. Becora?
00:33:42Very, very well.
00:33:43Well, get busy and arrange about the boat.
00:33:44I'll see you on the dock.
00:33:45Ah.
00:33:48Here's your ticket, sir.
00:33:49And she sailed at dawn.
00:33:58Did you propose to take your friend with you?
00:34:01Well, I'd like to.
00:34:03Yes, I quite agree.
00:34:05This company will help brand you as a slaver.
00:34:08And naturally, till your work is finished, you must be known as one.
00:34:11I understand.
00:34:15Godspeed.
00:34:21Did you see what happened to my friend?
00:34:23Which one was he?
00:34:24Well, the fellow that was sitting right over there with the dark-faced girl.
00:34:26Oh, him. He went out over there.
00:34:28Where'd he go?
00:34:29I wouldn't be knowing.
00:34:30He said he was looking for you.
00:34:32Tomorrow?
00:34:33Well, where do you think he went?
00:34:35Now I remember.
00:34:36He wasn't looking for you.
00:34:37He was looking for a girl for you.
00:34:40I've got to find him.
00:34:41When he comes back, tell him to wait here for me.
00:34:43Tell him I'm sailing for America this morning.
00:34:44Have a very careful.
00:34:45Very careful.
00:34:46Yeah.
00:34:47Here.
00:34:48Here.
00:34:49Here.
00:34:50Here.
00:34:51Here.
00:34:53Here.
00:34:55Here.
00:34:57Let's go.
00:34:58Here.
00:35:00Here.
00:35:01Here.
00:35:13Has my friend been here?
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:1728, 29, 30...
00:35:19Well, where is he now?
00:35:21He went away again.
00:35:23Did you tell him I was going to America?
00:35:25Yes, I told him.
00:35:27What did he say?
00:35:29He says to tell you if you're going to America,
00:35:31he's going to Peru.
00:35:3335, 36, 37...
00:35:3536, 47, 48...
00:35:37Can I have a piece of paper?
00:35:39Yes, certainly.
00:35:41Ansel?
00:35:43Right.
00:36:11Yes, sir.
00:36:27Will you give this to him when he comes back, please?
00:36:29All right.
00:36:31Here, sir.
00:36:33Professor, I'll leave him again.
00:36:39Yes, sir.
00:36:41It's not right, sir.
00:36:43It's not right.
00:36:45No, sir.
00:36:47No, sir.
00:36:49Yes, sir.
00:36:51Why are you there?
00:36:53Not right?
00:36:55No, sir.
00:36:57All right, put them away.
00:37:04Cards.
00:37:05Put them out.
00:37:08Thank you, sir.
00:37:13Yes, sir.
00:37:16Yes, sir.
00:37:19Yes, sir.
00:37:21Yes, sir.
00:37:23Yes, sir.
00:37:40Henry.
00:37:42Milady, Sir Walter Raleigh only offered his cape.
00:37:45This is my complete wardrobe.
00:37:53Oh, sir.
00:37:55I'm sorry.
00:38:03Wait a minute, please.
00:38:05Please remove this thing.
00:38:06I'm sorry.
00:38:07I was just trying to help you, of course, but...
00:38:09My shoe.
00:38:13Yeah, I can do it.
00:38:23The third door on the right is Mr. Tarleton's cabin.
00:38:45Fine Margaret.
00:38:46Stanley.
00:38:48You mustn't do this.
00:38:50I don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:52Henry told me.
00:38:53I don't want you to go to America, Stanley.
00:38:55I don't want you to give up everything.
00:38:57Mrs. Tarleton, I'm Picora, your brother's friend.
00:39:00Mr. Tarleton is not motivated by rashness.
00:39:03He has the most important mission.
00:39:05I do hope and pray that your coachman didn't tell you of this
00:39:08in the presence of your guests.
00:39:10He told only me.
00:39:12Stanley, what is this?
00:39:13Why are you going to America?
00:39:15Well, Mr. Picora, I just told you.
00:39:17My orders were to leave immediately.
00:39:18I didn't have time to explain to you.
00:39:20Pardon me.
00:39:21I think it would be better if you told her alone.
00:39:24Good night, Miss Tarleton.
00:39:25Good night.
00:39:29Oh, yes.
00:39:30My apologies, Miss Tarleton.
00:39:32But secret orders must be secretly given.
00:39:34Do you mind?
00:39:35Excuse me.
00:39:37You must take her to America with you.
00:39:38How the devil can I do that?
00:39:39She must not leave this ship.
00:39:40She's a woman.
00:39:41She will talk.
00:39:42Then what about the coachman?
00:39:43I'll take care of him.
00:39:44The Cora and Tarleton.
00:39:45Good luck, my boy.
00:39:46Good luck, my boy.
00:39:58Good luck, my boy.
00:40:03Good luck.
00:40:12Good luck, I'm Ph.
00:41:18Pay me.
00:41:27I'm one up on you.
00:41:27Oh, Nugget, you know I don't like water.
00:41:36I'm one up on you.
00:42:05I'm one up on you.
00:42:35I'm one up on you.
00:43:05I'm one up on you.
00:43:06I'm one up on you.
00:43:07My, you're quite an expert, aren't you?
00:43:09Well, I ought to be.
00:43:10I'm a lady's maid.
00:43:11Oh, that is, I was.
00:43:12Oh.
00:43:13Oh.
00:43:14Oh, maybe I should have told you before they put you in with me.
00:43:19On the contrary, it was sweet of you to let me come in at all.
00:43:22Oh.
00:43:23Oh, I'm awfully glad to have company.
00:43:25I was afraid I was going to be lonely.
00:43:28I'd be glad to clean the dress for you if you just change into another.
00:43:32I'm afraid I can't.
00:43:33I haven't another.
00:43:34I'll have to make the whole journey in this one.
00:43:36Oh, no.
00:43:37You don't have to do that.
00:43:38I've got some dresses.
00:43:39My mistress gave them to me.
00:43:41Maybe one of them might fit you.
00:43:43Oh, that's...
00:43:44Well, of course, if you don't mind.
00:43:46Mind?
00:43:47Why, I'd be terribly grateful.
00:43:48Is your mistress in this section of the ship?
00:43:50Oh, no.
00:43:51No, I'm alone.
00:43:52Maybe I shouldn't have left a good position and go running off into a strange land.
00:43:57But I don't think I would have left England if it weren't for my daughter.
00:44:00You have a daughter?
00:44:01Oh, no, not yet.
00:44:03But I'm going to have one Sunday.
00:44:05And when I do and she grows up, I don't want her to be a lady's maid.
00:44:09Well, she needn't be.
00:44:10Well, you see, my grandmother was a lady's maid, and then my mother got to be one.
00:44:14And then me.
00:44:15Well, that's the way it is in England.
00:44:17Maybe it's all right for most people.
00:44:20Even for me.
00:44:21But not for my daughter.
00:44:23You think I'm a little bit balmy?
00:44:26Well, not at all.
00:44:27I think you're very wise.
00:44:28Hang the balls together.
00:44:30Hooray!
00:44:31Hooray!
00:44:32Come hang for final weather.
00:44:35Hang, boys, hang.
00:44:37They say I hang for money.
00:44:39Hooray!
00:44:40Hooray!
00:44:41But say it's always funny.
00:44:43Hang for the money.
00:44:45Well, she's pretty fast for such a big ship, isn't she?
00:44:47She's the fastest thing in these water, sir.
00:44:49Well, tell me, how would she compare in speed with, well, say, with the English patrol ships?
00:45:02Why, she can carry three times the cargo we got aboard now and show her heels to the best of them.
00:45:06What's so?
00:45:15Yep, that's what it looks like to me, a rooster up there.
00:45:19Flapping his wings and screaming at the top of his lungs.
00:45:22Do you know what he's saying?
00:45:24Nope.
00:45:25He's crowing, Mr. I'm freedom.
00:45:28And do you know what I mean?
00:45:31Nope.
00:45:32Well, you're thick.
00:45:38Maybe I am thick.
00:45:40But that ain't a rooster.
00:45:41It's a flag.
00:45:42Well, that's just a figure of speech.
00:45:44I mean, it's loyalty.
00:45:47Something you got.
00:45:48Something to look up to.
00:45:49Look up to?
00:45:50What for?
00:45:53Did you ever march in a parade with the bugles blowing and the flags waving?
00:45:56Nope.
00:45:57You didn't, huh?
00:45:59Well, did you ever...
00:46:02Well, you know what a sunflower is, don't you?
00:46:04Sure.
00:46:05It grows in backyards.
00:46:07Ever notice the way it follows the sun?
00:46:11Uh-uh.
00:46:12Like that.
00:46:14Always looking up.
00:46:15That's loyalty.
00:46:17Loyal because the sun gives it a reason for living.
00:46:20Warms it up and makes it bigger.
00:46:22It does something to it inside, you know.
00:46:25Nope.
00:46:26And the way you're telling me, I ain't never gonna know.
00:46:29Looks like you're getting sentimental again.
00:46:31Let's get down below where I can get a little grog and I'll get into this thing, too.
00:46:35Come on.
00:46:58Is it worth that?
00:46:59No.
00:47:00But why are you, it's not worth it?
00:47:01No.
00:47:02It's not worth it.
00:47:03It's worth it for you.
00:47:04Puppercrust, they're fluffier.
00:47:05You ought to plop them, kind.
00:47:07Oh no.
00:47:08Not her.
00:47:10Well, gentlemen.
00:47:11Well, gentlemen, I'm in no mood for jesting today.
00:47:27Come on, release the target.
00:47:29You heard him, release the target.
00:47:31I don't like the way he said it.
00:47:33Said it?
00:47:33I should have a way to say it.
00:47:36Come on, vite, vite, vite, vite.
00:47:37Allons, allons, allons.
00:47:38Release it.
00:47:39I still don't like the way he says it.
00:47:41He doesn't like the way you say it.
00:47:42Can't you tone it down a little?
00:47:44Maybe add a please or something like that?
00:47:47Imbeciles.
00:47:48What's that?
00:47:49Most anything.
00:47:50Fat men who try to sing tenor.
00:47:51It's rude people who waste their lives sticking long needles into sacks.
00:47:55Enough!
00:47:57Perhaps, gentlemen, you don't quite realize whom you're talking to.
00:48:00I have nicked people's ears for less than that.
00:48:03I am Gaston de Bastonnet.
00:48:05The Gaston de Bastonnet.
00:48:07An odd title, my gentle-tempered friend.
00:48:10Title?
00:48:11What, Patrick?
00:48:12V.
00:48:13V?
00:48:14V de Bastonnet.
00:48:17Not Mr. de Bastonnet, nor Count, nor Duke, nor Marquis, nor Sir de Bastonnet.
00:48:23Just T.
00:48:25H.
00:48:27Y.
00:48:28Franca!
00:48:29Don't forget to write, Mr. V.
00:48:35Sacre bleuutronnerre.
00:48:37Conchante le diable.
00:48:39Zit!
00:48:39I'm so sorry.
00:48:41I was doing a trick, and the cards happened to slip out of my hand.
00:48:43Oh, uh, just a minute, please.
00:49:02You're dragging half of my deck with you.
00:49:14Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:49:15Uh, did I ever tell you about the time I was a stowaway in a cargo of silk?
00:49:20How could you?
00:49:21I've never met you before.
00:49:23Oh, look.
00:49:24It's you.
00:49:26Your card.
00:49:27The second one I picked up off the floor.
00:49:29Sure.
00:49:30Sure I met you.
00:49:32Don't you remember I saw you, uh...
00:49:33On the boat, you mean?
00:49:35Nope.
00:49:35In the sky.
00:49:37Sky?
00:49:37A year ago.
00:49:38Two years ago.
00:49:39Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty.
00:49:40What difference does it make?
00:49:41You know poetry?
00:49:43Poetry?
00:49:44The dawn awoke like a troubled soul that had cried the night, the night.
00:49:49Well, anyway, there you were.
00:49:51In the sky, you mean?
00:49:52Yeah.
00:49:53Right out of the heaven.
00:49:54And you were the sunshine.
00:49:56And just like that, there was no more trouble, no more tears.
00:50:00They call me Powder.
00:50:02Does that, uh, suggest anything to you?
00:50:04Why, yes, it does.
00:50:05You want to know my name.
00:50:08Let's sit down.
00:50:08Let's sit down.
00:50:08Let's sit down.
00:50:13Let's sit down.
00:50:27But weren't you afraid fighting so many at one time?
00:50:30Me afraid?
00:50:31I had my sword, and after all, there was only ten of them.
00:50:34They came at me through the cane breaks and across the swamp.
00:50:37All of them with knives as long as my arm.
00:50:38And what did I do?
00:50:40You know what I did?
00:50:42I'll show you.
00:50:43I stood with my back up against the no tree.
00:50:49And I threw the war cry right back in their teeth.
00:50:51Sadie Danker, yo-dee-oh-dee-oh.
00:50:54She hung like an anchor.
00:50:56It's getting a little stuffy in here, don't you think?
00:50:58Let's go up on deck.
00:50:59Sadie Danker, marry the banker.
00:51:02Oh, how I can thank her.
00:51:04Yo-dee-oh-dee-oh.
00:51:05Oh, ho.
00:51:06I can't know.
00:51:06No.
00:51:07Oh, ho.
00:51:08Oh, ho.
00:51:10Oh, ho.
00:51:11Oh, ho.
00:51:13Oh, ho.
00:51:15Oh, ho.
00:51:15¶¶
00:51:45¶¶
00:51:47¶¶
00:51:48Oh, thank you.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:52Well, it's quite all right.
00:51:54I assure you.
00:51:55I'm quite capable of taking care of myself, thank you.
00:52:02Here. The sea's all very simple, won't you?
00:52:04Get the hang of it. Now, you put one hand there.
00:52:06Now, the other hand here.
00:52:08Now, you hang on.
00:52:10Now, we have it.
00:52:15Can I help?
00:52:17I need no help, sir, for what I'm about to do.
00:52:20Oh, but in this case, you do. Yes, ma'am.
00:52:22Please.
00:52:23You'll be very thankful for what I'm going to do for you.
00:52:25Look, this is Cali Saggi.
00:52:27The Gamboes make it. They make it of roots and bark and herbs and all lot of stuff.
00:52:32Oh, sir, go away.
00:52:34It's as potent as all get out, but it'll certainly stop that nausea.
00:52:38I'm sorry. I... I don't want any.
00:52:42Please.
00:52:45There's one funny thing about this.
00:52:47It's liable to give you the hiccups.
00:52:57Go on.
00:53:00Oh, yes. I beg pardon.
00:53:03What the devil do you think you're...
00:53:06Oh.
00:53:08Well, how are your thumbs? Better?
00:53:12Much. And your conscience?
00:53:14Quite undisturbed, thank you.
00:53:16Let's see, I think the last time I saw you...
00:53:18Well, you won't go into that now.
00:53:20Well, since it concerns my sister, I don't see why not.
00:53:22Sister?
00:53:23Stanley, he was only trying to cure my seas...
00:53:26Seasickness. I think he did.
00:53:28Cali Saggi, the natives...
00:53:29Oh, rubbish.
00:53:30Now, look here, Taylor. I don't want any more nonsense from you.
00:53:33You're the type of man who's likely to...
00:53:34But Stanley, he was only...
00:53:35He was only...
00:53:36I don't care what he was...
00:53:37I'm telling you what he is.
00:53:39He's a common slaver, regardless of what my superior officer's opinion of him might have been.
00:53:43Oh, is he the man who...
00:53:45Yes, who hung from the halyards by his thumbs.
00:53:48Now, look here, Taylor.
00:53:50I warn you that I don't want a man like you...
00:53:53I said that I don't want a man like...
00:53:55You mean a man like you think I am.
00:54:00You're just as insulting out of that uniform as...
00:54:02Get in it!
00:54:21Who do you think I've just seen up on the deck?
00:54:24Oh, so you know that.
00:54:26And that fluffy duck that gave you the eye on the dock.
00:54:28She was with him.
00:54:32Oh, so you know that too.
00:54:35She's his sister.
00:54:37Well, you better be remembering what you told me...
00:54:39About looking out for the Greeks when they've got horses to give you.
00:54:43I don't know what your game is. It's all the same to me, whatever it is.
00:54:46But if there's anything you want done...
00:54:50Listen, there's just one thing you can do for me.
00:54:52What's that?
00:54:53Two things.
00:54:55Sit still and be still.
00:55:00It's all right if I twiddle my thumbs.
00:55:03Come in!
00:55:06Pardon me, gentlemen.
00:55:09I've come to apologize again.
00:55:12I'm very sorry, Mr. Taylor, for my quite unnecessary rudeness.
00:55:16I know we've rubbed one another the wrong way each time we've met...
00:55:19But I see no reason why we shouldn't...
00:55:21Well, have a new start and be friends.
00:55:23I like the idea of a new start.
00:55:26Since we're both going to America, I thought perhaps I might be able to be of some service to you.
00:55:31You haven't just lost your ship.
00:55:33For instance, I've...
00:55:35I've seen very good connections in Savannah.
00:55:38So you're going to Savannah?
00:55:43Now, don't be stupid. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about.
00:55:47You were there when Granly died, I know, but that doesn't give you the opportunity to interfere with me.
00:55:51You understand?
00:55:53You speak very distinctly.
00:55:55Think it over.
00:55:57Take your time.
00:55:58Take your time.
00:56:06What ails you, Nuggan?
00:56:08I ain't never seen you stand for anything like that before.
00:56:11You sick?
00:56:13Maybe it's something yet.
00:56:15No, it's not something yet I had. It's something I promised.
00:56:28You're the only one in the morning.
00:56:30One, two, and three.
00:56:32Come and dance, come and dance with me.
00:56:35To a gay melody.
00:56:37Clap your hands with glee.
00:56:39Uh...
00:57:04Do you mind if I use this?
00:57:05No, help yourself.
00:57:06Thanks.
00:57:07Say, what was that piece of poetry you rattled off to me once?
00:57:10Poetry?
00:57:11Yeah, you know, the dawn awoke like a...
00:57:14Oh, that?
00:57:15Yeah, that's it. What was the next line in it?
00:57:18The dawn awoke like a troubled soul that I'd tried the night before.
00:57:22And a song of love from the rising wind.
00:57:26Why?
00:57:28Why?
00:57:30Oh, I don't know. I was just thinking.
00:57:33Who is she?
00:57:37Oh, Nuggan, you ought to see it.
00:57:39In all my life, the dawn awoke like a troubled soul.
00:57:43She thought it was beautiful.
00:57:45Of course, you told her you stole it.
00:57:47Well, you see, we got talking about so many other things,
00:57:49and she thought it was so marvelous to be a merchant of the high seas.
00:57:52She's dark, too, just like me.
00:57:55He's a merchant of the high seas with plenty of ships that carry cotton and copper
00:57:59and oh, so many things I forget.
00:58:02You didn't forget anything when you were describing him to me.
00:58:04Dark hair, dark eyes, handsome, wears a ring in his ear.
00:58:08Doesn't that seem rather odd, a merchant with a ring in his ear?
00:58:11Oh, no, not at all. Not when I tell you about it.
00:58:14You see, it was his mother's wedding ring, and he says when he gets married,
00:58:17that is, if he ever finds the right girl or something like that.
00:58:22Oh, Miss Margaret, I've never been so happy in all my life.
00:58:26It must be wonderful to be that happy.
00:58:40Why should you believe what other people tell you?
00:58:42You've never even spoken to him.
00:58:44What a slave of Babsy.
00:58:46Miss Margaret, suppose he isn't.
00:58:50You'd never forgive yourself.
00:58:57Would you?
00:58:59Then back into the blockhouse, boys said Pete, the one-eyed scout.
00:59:04There's danger in them yonder woods.
00:59:06There's mohawks all about.
00:59:08They're armed and painted up for war.
00:59:11They'll strike before the dawn.
00:59:14Protect your wives and children, men.
00:59:17To duty, carry on.
00:59:19A startled deer on Damon's peak gazed wide-eyed at the fray.
00:59:24Saw.
00:59:25Saw.
00:59:30Saw.
00:59:31Carnage.
00:59:32Carnage.
00:59:35Carnage?
00:59:37Saw carnage wrought.
00:59:38Heard Indians yell until the break of day.
00:59:41Is that right?
00:59:43Sure, that's right.
00:59:44You know all of it.
00:59:46Uh-huh.
00:59:47I'll begin with the deer.
00:59:50The startled deer on Damon's peak stared wide-eyed at the fray.
00:59:54Saw carnage wrought.
00:59:55Heard Indians yell until the break of day.
00:59:57The earth reached up to kiss the sun.
01:00:00Found peace in Shaddock's glade.
01:00:02And of the mohawks.
01:00:03There were none, for history had been made.
01:00:13Don't move.
01:00:18The boon's right behind your head.
01:00:21I want to thank you.
01:00:27Thank me for what?
01:00:28For what I said about the moon?
01:00:31The...
01:00:32No.
01:00:33No, I want to thank you for what you did for me.
01:00:36What I did for you?
01:00:38What was it?
01:00:40Sea sickness.
01:00:41You were very nice to me.
01:00:42That's what I want to thank you for.
01:00:45So, thank you very much.
01:00:50But why hurry away?
01:00:51Please, I'd rather you didn't follow me.
01:00:53Listen, this is serious.
01:00:55You need someone to look after you.
01:00:57What's serious?
01:00:58Well, this, uh, sea sickness.
01:01:00Do you realize that millions of people get it?
01:01:03And what happens?
01:01:04They get worse.
01:01:05Oh, yes they do.
01:01:06Well, it practically wrecks them.
01:01:10Would you mind telling me your name?
01:01:13You do, huh?
01:01:16Well, the people that know me don't get seasick.
01:01:18No surrea.
01:01:19I just give them Kali Sagi and boom, it's all gone.
01:01:22Do you know where I get it?
01:01:23Right in the heart of darkest Africa.
01:01:25Do you want to know how I get it?
01:01:26I have to fight and struggle and tear my way through dense forests.
01:01:30Please, I'd rather...
01:01:31Not till I'm finished.
01:01:33I'm a man of few words.
01:01:34You certainly don't talk like it.
01:01:35Now, I came out on deck to thank you for being nice to me.
01:01:40You're just spoiling everything.
01:01:41You're acting like a child.
01:01:45How old?
01:01:46I mean...
01:01:49I'm sorry.
01:01:50I'm sorry if I offended you at any time.
01:01:53I didn't mean to.
01:01:55My name's Michael.
01:01:57Mine's Margaret.
01:02:01It's a lovely evening, isn't it?
01:02:03Is it?
01:02:06Beautiful.
01:02:19And I have to confess to you because it's the only honest thing to do.
01:02:23You've told me about yourself.
01:02:25Who you were and what you did.
01:02:27A merchant of the high seas.
01:02:30Somebody who means something in this world.
01:02:33I've told you nothing.
01:02:34Who I was and where I came from.
01:02:37You don't have to.
01:02:38I know.
01:02:40You came from the...
01:02:41From the sky.
01:02:42That was so nice.
01:02:44And I'll never forget it.
01:02:46But...
01:02:47What you don't know, Powder, is that...
01:02:48That I'm a servant.
01:02:50A lady's maid.
01:02:52I mean, I was.
01:02:54I was going to America just to...
01:02:56Just...
01:02:57To...
01:02:59I'm sorry, Powder.
01:03:02Did I ever tell you about the sunflower?
01:03:07It looks up into the sun.
01:03:09Just like I'm doing to you.
01:03:11But the sun ain't nothing.
01:03:14And you are.
01:03:16You're Babsy.
01:03:17Now I have him at the end of the carpeting.
01:03:21He made one terrific lunge at me, but...
01:03:24You don't know Gaston de Bastoy.
01:03:26You know what happened?
01:03:27You know...
01:03:28You make me very nervous.
01:03:29You don't mind if I say it.
01:03:30Please, I just...
01:03:32Listen to me.
01:03:33I lunged at him.
01:03:37Say...
01:03:38The captain's entertaining a few choice friends.
01:03:40And don't you tell us so.
01:03:42But he decided you two are the choicest.
01:03:44But, Captain, we have...
01:03:45Don't pay no attention to him, Captain.
01:03:46He's awfully shy.
01:03:47And he don't drink.
01:03:49You come along too.
01:03:50Come on, everybody.
01:03:51We'll have some fun.
01:03:52Come on.
01:03:53Come on.
01:03:55Now, gentlemen.
01:03:56I brought you a few more hundred guests.
01:03:58Sit right down next to your brother, will you, Mr. Anton?
01:04:01Go on.
01:04:02Sit down.
01:04:03Miss.
01:04:04You sit over there opposite Mr. de Bastogne.
01:04:05And you gentlemen, sit right down there, will you please?
01:04:09Have a good time.
01:04:10Go ahead.
01:04:11Make yourselves at home.
01:04:12Sit down.
01:04:14You know, folks.
01:04:15As captain of this ship, I'm supposed to be the law.
01:04:18But do you think that means anything to my crew?
01:04:20It doesn't.
01:04:21Please, darling.
01:04:22I'm having such a good time.
01:04:24But they steal, ladies and gentlemen.
01:04:26They steal.
01:04:27Mr. de Bastogne.
01:04:28You're very good with a blade.
01:04:29Will you slice the cheese, please?
01:04:30And now for the wine.
01:04:32So you laugh because I tell you that duelling is a business, eh?
01:04:34Well, look.
01:04:35If the Creoles wish to settle all the disputes only with a blade,
01:04:39well, then who am I that I should not wish to return to New Orleans
01:04:42and become a very rich man, although duelling is unlawful, eh?
01:04:45Seems to me that everybody who goes to America becomes a rich man.
01:04:48It's a very comforting thought.
01:04:50Think I'll like it, Mr. Taylor?
01:04:52Especially the North.
01:04:53Despite de Bastogne's glowing picture, I wouldn't advise you to go to the South.
01:04:57Not even Savannah?
01:04:58Definitely not Savannah.
01:04:59Oh, me no, me no.
01:05:00Monsieur, I don't mean to insult you, Mr. Taylor, but you are speaking from an empty head.
01:05:04Savannah is beautiful, of course.
01:05:06Not as divine as New Orleans, but parol d'honneur, beautiful.
01:05:10Very beautiful.
01:05:11What do you think, Captain?
01:05:12Oh, it's a fair enough city to the eye, but I never feel comfortable there.
01:05:16You know, I'm a bit sentimental about the old William Brown,
01:05:18and I never welcome a harbour where she has to lay too near some ship that stinks of slaving.
01:05:23But a lot of people who look on slaving is a perfectly legitimate business.
01:05:27Mr. Taylor, it might be interesting to know the viewpoint of somebody actually engaged in it.
01:05:36They don't look on slaving as a criminal occupation, do they?
01:05:40No, they don't.
01:05:42But they do consider it a dirty business.
01:05:45Hardly an occupation for a gentleman.
01:05:47And certainly no surroundings into which to take a woman.
01:05:51You know, speaking from personal experience, of course.
01:05:53Naturally.
01:05:54Wait a minute, I just... you upset something.
01:05:58I knew a young fellow once, young and rather handsome, somewhat like yourself.
01:06:03He made the mistake of taking a woman, his wife, with him,
01:06:07to his trading post at the mouth of the River Bimbi in West Africa.
01:06:10You wouldn't understand what that young woman saw, nor what she went through.
01:06:15But she went stark raving mad and stuck her head into a cauldron of boiling palm oil.
01:06:21Excuse me.
01:06:22Please keep your seats.
01:06:24Well, I seem to have offended him.
01:06:36Miss Margaret.
01:06:37I'm sorry.
01:06:39How could you sit...
01:06:40Miss Tarrant, Nuggan, I mean Mr. Taylor.
01:06:41He didn't mean to hurt you.
01:06:42He only said that because he wanted to.
01:06:43My brother was right.
01:06:44No one but a real slaver could have talked the way he did.
01:06:45You mean you think he's a slaver?
01:06:46Your brother didn't tell you why he was aboard this ship, did he?
01:06:47I don't want to talk about that.
01:06:48But I do.
01:06:49I'll talk and you'll listen.
01:06:50He's no slaver.
01:06:51He never has been.
01:06:52I told Nuggan that story.
01:06:53I told him because I was there when it happened.
01:06:54I'm no merchant of the high seas.
01:06:55I never have been.
01:06:56I'm the one that's been a slaver.
01:06:57A worthless good for nothing.
01:06:59I thought someday this would all be forgotten.
01:07:02I thought someday this would all be forgotten.
01:07:04I'll talk and you'll listen.
01:07:05I'll talk and you'll listen.
01:07:06He's no slaver.
01:07:07He never has been.
01:07:08I told Nuggan that story.
01:07:09I told him because I was there when it happened.
01:07:10I'm no merchant of the high seas.
01:07:11I never have been.
01:07:12I'm the one that's been a slaver.
01:07:13A worthless good for nothing.
01:07:26I...
01:07:27I thought someday this would all be forgotten.
01:07:30But when things like this happened to the only fellow that ever spoke a kind word to me in my life...
01:07:35I ain't fit to be in the same world with him.
01:07:38I'm cheap.
01:07:39I'm no good.
01:07:41I'm nothing.
01:07:42I even stole a piece of poetry to tell you you was beautiful.
01:07:49Babsy, I ain't never loved a girl before.
01:07:57I don't care what you've been.
01:08:00I don't care what you've been.
01:08:14Why did you lie?
01:08:16Oh, uh...
01:08:17Well, you mean at the table.
01:08:19Well, I...
01:08:20Father told me.
01:08:21Well, the powder's a bit twisted in the head.
01:08:23He told me.
01:08:24Why don't you answer me?
01:08:26May I ask you a question?
01:08:28Of course.
01:08:30Well, why are you making this voyage with your brother?
01:08:34Why...
01:08:35There's no mystery about me.
01:08:36My...
01:08:37My brother was leaving unexpectedly for America and...
01:08:40He just asked me to go along in the spur of the moment.
01:08:44There's nothing odd about it.
01:08:47I'm glad I did it.
01:08:50So am I.
01:08:53Are you sure you're not making a mistake?
01:08:55I'm not a helpless child.
01:08:57Well, but I helped you once out of your carriage.
01:08:59And I helped you with your seasickness.
01:09:01A fellow in China once told me that...
01:09:03If you help a person the third time, you become one of the family.
01:09:09I wish I could help you again.
01:09:20What is it?
01:09:22I never want to forget a thing about you.
01:09:33But when things start to happen...
01:09:39And things are bound to happen...
01:09:43Remember this.
01:09:45There's nothing you could have done to stop it.
01:09:48And nothing is going to stop me.
01:09:50Remember.
01:09:53Nothing.
01:10:03And Papa said because you had been so nice to me...
01:10:15About the poetry, I mean.
01:10:17He said I could give you my Indian toy box if I wanted to.
01:10:20And I want to.
01:10:22It plays music if you press the button.
01:10:24And if you wound it up, it went like this...
01:10:26And this...
01:10:28And this.
01:10:30I'll bet it's a beauty.
01:10:31But you're not going to give it to me...
01:10:32After your father made it just for you and everything.
01:10:35Oh, yes I am.
01:10:36And you're going to keep it.
01:10:37Because just like I told Papa...
01:10:39I think you're awful nice.
01:10:40And if I was older, I'd marry you.
01:10:43Now you stay right here.
01:10:45When I come back, I'll show you just how it works.
01:11:01When I came back...
01:11:02I don't have to go back.
01:11:03Not bad.
01:11:05I'm not lazy to go.
01:11:07I was around...
01:11:09I'm sorry.
01:11:11I've already had one.
01:11:13I came back.
01:11:14Now you're enjoying the house.
01:11:16I'm sorry.
01:11:19You're not here.
01:11:21I'm sorry.
01:11:22You're not here.
01:11:24I'm sorry.
01:11:26You're not here.
01:11:27You're not here.

01:16:18Yes.
01:16:20Two.
01:16:23A few minutes.
01:16:27The difference does it make.

01:17:35I didn't find him. He's going from the cabin.
01:17:59Get that boat!
01:18:00Don't let him get away with that boat.
01:18:01That's the only light boat left.
01:18:03Count me and take it away from me.
01:18:04I'll plumb the first man that tries to jump.
01:18:06I won't stay on this boat and die like a rat.
01:18:08If you start a panic, you'll swamp this boat and you'll all drown.
01:18:11He's right. Leave the boat alone till everybody can go.
01:18:14Put me in, will you?
01:18:23In the main saloon, get all the food you can find and then the companion waiter is the King of Water. Bring it.
01:18:34Stanley!
01:18:37The man's a maniac. He's mad.
01:18:40If he lives, not one of us will get a chance to...
01:18:42He's mad.
01:18:47He's mad.
01:18:48Let's go.
01:18:48He's mad.
01:18:49He's mad.
01:18:51He's mad.

01:25:43With a determination that nothing could weaken, he brought that frail craft to safety.
01:26:01Then he went on to Savannah to finish his appointed task.
01:26:05When he decided to save his own life, it was to further a great cause.
01:26:09Later, in this same room, when faced with the danger of losing more than life,
01:26:14he made not the slightest move to save himself.
01:26:17I humbly crave the court's forgiveness for withholding my statement until now,
01:26:21but the very nature of our endeavour made secrecy until the last moment imperative.
01:26:26I thank the court for its courtesy in hearing me.
01:26:39There is no hand except my sovereigns that I would feel more honoured in taking.
01:26:46To you, Michael Taylor, I am authorised to express my country's gratitude.
01:26:51You'll be glad to know that since your arrest,
01:26:54the African slave trade has suffered a series of blows from which it can never recover.
01:27:00If the court pleases, the government joins with counsel for the defence
01:27:05in moving that the prisoner be granted a new trial.
01:27:08The motion is granted.
01:27:10The prisoner is remanded to the custody of the sheriff.
01:27:30The man is remanded to the resurrection.
