00:05It's your luck with my Avenger, isn't it?
00:06Imagine the sound of that.
00:08Will you let us sleep, do you think?
00:10Don't you worry.
00:11You're going to be so happy that it takes all she-bob's sink.
00:15Next in line.
00:17Good morning, dear.
00:18Have you your orders for me?
00:21Any tips, sir, for a first-timer?
00:25The advice I'm about to give you holds whether it's your virgin voyage
00:28or your twentieth.
00:30Then I'm keen to hear it, sir.
00:33When the ships have sailed, be sure you're a ball.
00:35Here you are.
00:36Sure.
00:37Tune a month times first must, Mr. Hickey.
00:40Next up, sit forward.
00:48Some of what these men have packed is impractical at best, Francis.
00:55If we're to make it inland before winter, this cannot hold.
00:59It's a long march, James.
01:02It'll be time to reconsider.
01:05Things will drop away.
01:08To ask these men to see these bits of who they are is one more threat to them.
01:18Let them get some lands behind them before we ask them to do that.
01:22But these first miles are some of the hardest miles.
01:25We don't know yet if the advance party made it to shore.
01:29Exactly.
01:34The first land camp must be up by now.
01:37Maybe they'll have Tuesday dinner waiting for us.
01:38We don't even know if they made it back to shore, Manson.
01:44We would have heard work by now if there was an attack.
01:48Somebody would have come back.
01:50There's almost 50 of them.
01:51It could be attacking now.
01:53If it comes, it comes.
01:56All you can do is make sure you're not the one in its jaws.
01:59Thank you, Mr. Hickey.
02:01I hope I'm stood next to you when it comes.
02:03Just giving me permission for a good shove.
02:07It's been waiting for us to do exactly what we're doing.
02:11There's no defences out there.
02:13Fear is a choice, Billy.
02:16Ignorance is a choice.
02:19As it's believing Lieutenant Fairholme is on his way back with help.
02:26That these natives are our friends.
02:39Gently with that one, please.
02:40It's all right.
02:44Has Mr. Bridgen seen you today?
02:47Aye.
02:48The Mandrager is no longer helping.
02:51I'm sorry for that.
02:53Mr. Bridgen's will increase the dose the rest of what we safely can.
02:58Or try another remedy.
02:59Coca wine or a stronger tonic.
03:02These might put you in a bit of a haze, but it could be worse.
03:06Are these our own choices, Cornelius?
03:10Are they being made for us?
03:13Are you asking, Billy?
03:15He also told us the lemon juices brought off the scurvy.
03:20Now, when it gets bad, the gums pull back, the scars dissolve and open back up.
03:24No, no, no, no, no.
03:27See what's on your mind?
03:30Are you more friends?
03:33Am I?
03:38We could make a go of it for ourselves, can't we?
03:43Smaller group.
03:45Because 40 men are going to be too slow on that ice.
03:48Let me tell you.
03:50No, the ice will be slow going regardless.
03:54But once you make land...
03:55And it'd be better to wait.
03:58Until the larger group holds all the supplies to solid ground.
04:03It would, yes.
04:06That gives us time, then.
04:08To think things through.
04:12I suspect there are others who'd be friendly to this.
04:15It'd be good to find a few more.
04:19Sort the ranks out of this in advance.
04:24We're leaving enough food to see you through winter.
04:28Enough cold to last that long as well.
04:31It'd be enough if all of you berth back here.
04:36A thaw may yet surprise us.
04:39If it does, sail south past King William and hug the shore.
04:44That is what we will be doing as well.
04:47If you make it back onto the charts at Cape Herschel, sail east, into the strait, here, that cuts King
04:54William off from the mainland.
04:56It's either land blocked or, as I believe, open.
04:59Either way, go no further.
05:01The mouth to Backfish River is just here.
05:04We will signal from the mainland side.
05:06If we have yet to cross, then from the King William side.
05:11But if you do not see any sign of us by September 1st, it means we are already in land.
05:18And you should turn around and sail hard.
05:22Out in the way.
05:24Any version of this, you realize, makes you men the first to complete the passage.
05:32I hope it happens, I do.
05:35The sacrifice that you men are making, it deserves a great reward.
05:41You needn't worry yourself, sir.
05:43If we to perish, we prefer to do it here, under English blankets, and smelling English coal.
05:50Not out there in that void.
05:53That's reward enough.
05:59Did your farewells to the others, then?
06:12Find our assigned sledge and settle your personals.
06:15This next bit a captain does alone.
06:21So I've heard.
06:30The men are behind you, sir.
06:34Very much behind you.
07:02Friend, mother, lover, all the things they say a ship is to a captain, and they miss the only thing
07:08that matters.
07:12Confess her.
07:14This ship knows everything about me, Thomas.
07:18In 37, when George's back wrecked it, tugged it home across the Atlantic.
07:24She was barely afloat.
07:26No one could believe she kept herself up.
07:32She may well triumph.
07:38Ah!
07:43Ah!
07:43Come on.
08:31Give the word, Lieutenant Irving.
08:35Forward, men!
08:49Forward, men!
09:14Forward, men!
09:24What do you report, Mr Hartnell?
09:26Just more spinning, sir.
09:27But we are definitely on Lieutenant Little's tracks.
09:30I mean, they're windblown and the ridges have shifted a bit, but they're definitely still intact.
09:35He's got a feel of it, this one.
09:36Very well.
09:38Continue to rely on your eyes.
09:40Help us find our way safely, Mr Hartnell.
09:43Yes, sir.
09:44Right, move it up.
09:46Move the ball.
09:51Lead them off, Lieutenant.
09:55Everyone, moving you, Mr Hickey.
10:20Let's go.
10:22Wait.
10:23Let's go.
10:38Mr. Collins, is Mr. Morfinn camp near you?
10:42He's in the tent just next, sir.
10:47How are you faring, then?
10:49Well enough?
10:55Actually, I don't know how any of us could be well, really, with what's happened.
11:05Here.
11:07What's the worst of it, Collins, that you'd be willing to share?
11:11It might help to say it out loud.
11:15I've tried, sir.
11:18Well, you haven't tried with me.
11:42I didn't want to go to Carnival.
11:45I compelled myself to go.
11:48I compelled myself to do everything now.
11:51I have to try to convince myself that there won't be any problems.
11:59And then there are.
12:02There are a lot of problems now.
12:05In the dive helmet, it smells of grease.
12:11Did you know that?
12:12No.
12:16It's a problem to be in my job and beer.
12:20You're what?
12:23Afraid of the smell of grease.
12:26I can smell it everywhere.
12:29I didn't used to think about it at all, like a saw in wood from all the coffins Mr. Honey's
12:33built.
12:33My father used to be a belly builder.
12:35Made the wood parts for pianos as to play in the shavings.
12:41Now I have a different sense of that smell.
12:46Now I can't stop smelling Carnival.
12:50The smoke, you mean?
12:53More than meat.
12:58The boys who died, they were cooking.
13:02Like fillets, grilling.
13:05Some of them were my friends.
13:06I was screaming, help them, help them.
13:09But my mouth went dry to wet the second I smirked them.
13:13I couldn't stop it.
13:15I'm sorry for it.
13:21My nose and my stomach, they don't know horrible from supper.
13:25But I do.
13:26I do.
13:29I do.
13:48Captain.
13:50Come.
13:50Um, sorry to disturb you, uh, the, the matter we discussed, the tins, sir?
13:58What about them?
14:01The hunting parties you proposed.
14:03Might, might they begin now, please?
14:05Out here, on the park.
14:08What do you propose, we'd haunt sail, bear?
14:11Takes years for a net select to learn how to haunt sail, you know that.
14:14The men cannot continue to eat these tins, sir.
14:18They must.
14:20For now, I know it's unhelpful to hear.
14:24It's profoundly unhelpful, sir.
14:28Mr. Walls are preparing the next round as we speak.
14:30Every team consume our situation.
14:33The moment we set foot on King William Island, I will commence hunting parties.
14:40Who knows, we may get lucky with some caribou.
14:49That you and Lieutenant Gore phoned on a year ago does not mean we can't fare better now.
14:57We share a burden, you and I.
15:02Keeping this.
15:09One line.
15:11One line.
15:13One line.
15:14One line.
15:17And that Lakeland.
15:29One line.
15:31One line.
15:33How much you want to wager that dog's rations are equal to ours?
15:40He's earning his keep, I reckon.
16:10I've got you, I've got you, I've got you! That's it! That's it!
16:13You shouldn't be on any watch, I haven't got the bottom form, orphan!
16:28I'm sure he'd relieve you have watched you see if Mr. Goodsair knew you...
16:34Oh, good Christ.
16:40Our sweep this morning was further out than yesterday's dog watches.
16:43One more from here would never have seen it.
17:15Can you make out who they are?
17:18It's left telling Fairholme's sledge party.
17:26Who else has seen this? Or knows?
17:29Just us four now, sir.
17:32On pain of a full court marshal, no one is to hear of this.
17:36Until such time as Captain Fish James and myself decide to share it with the men.
17:42Yes, sir.
17:56Eighteen miles.
17:58That's all they made.
18:02Our rescue.
18:17Halt! Halt!
18:44We'll have to go up and switch backs.
18:47We should send a first runner group to set the blaze.
18:53Aye, but there's no telling what the other side will give us.
18:56I mean, this here might be the handsome face of it.
18:59And the hopeful one.
19:00You're right.
19:04I'll go first.
19:06With James.
19:09We'll cite what we cite.
19:11And report.
19:31Give the flags up.
19:33We need an avoid, Francis.
19:47If we have luck finding game, we can spend several weeks here.
19:54It'd be best to tamp down every trace of illness before continuing.
19:59It was a hard trip, even for the haylist in our party.
20:03I never want to feel ice under my boots again.
20:09We make it out of this.
20:11All these men deserve medals and gold.
20:14We make it out of this.
20:16The men deserve every gold thing there is.
20:20Did you cite anything at all on your track here?
20:24We saw no signs of the creature, if that's your question.
20:29Lieutenant.
20:30Lieutenant.
20:33The premise is drawn now.
20:35But it's not loaded.
20:37How do you mean sighting?
20:39I'd like to recommend arming some additional men in camp.
20:43Even with our camp tightly pitched, the size of the perimeter still concerns me.
20:48We're only eight marines now, and it would be a help to us to bolster our numbers armed.
20:54Who first comes to mind?
20:55We'll put some thought into it.
20:58Armitage.
20:59He's a crack shot.
21:00As is Crisp.
21:02Lanson's up to it, seems to me.
21:06Keeley, Coombs, Mr Hickey would be a good help.
21:08We'll hold off.
21:11Sir, I recommend that we...
21:12It'll be a waxing moon tonight, yes?
21:15Near to full.
21:16We'll be able to see miles in every direction.
21:20If something comes hunting us, it'll be time to ring the alarm and arm more men even from sleep.
21:27The site was well chosen.
21:29It's going to be difficult to surprise us on such level ground, hmm?
21:34Aye, sir.
21:35We can revisit this.
21:37But for the moment, the armory is closed past arms for marines and officers.
21:42Aye, sir.
21:51I don't understand why he makes that request, sir.
21:55As do I.
21:57The reason is send.
22:00Some of those names are not.
22:13...
22:19...
22:22...
22:26...
22:28...
22:36I think it's a good idea.
22:42I think the best way I was going to do that.
22:43This is a great idea.
22:43I'm going to take a few minutes.
22:44I'm going to bring this to the oil.
22:48I don't have to worry about the oil.
22:50I don't want to take a few minutes.
22:51I didn't have to worry about the oil.
22:52I'm going to take a few minutes.
22:55I'm going to take a few minutes.
23:10I am trying.
23:27Who's that now?
23:30Somebody help us!
23:32That doesn't promise well.
23:36Help!
23:38There's no attacks, man.
23:39It's Morphin.
23:41He's dug it out.
23:42We just collapsed, sir.
23:44What?
23:44What do you need, Morphin?
23:48I need you to shoot me.
23:51What are you doing, Lee?
23:53I need help.
24:05John!
24:14My head.
24:16Carry it off.
24:19Put it with the others.
24:26No one is gonna put you down.
24:34I need help!
24:36Fire!
24:37Fire!
24:37Fire!
24:39The Morphin is in great pain.
24:42Like I'll stand it for him.
24:47Do not.
24:49Weapons down.
24:53Down.
24:58I have options, Morphin.
25:03Things to try.
25:04We discussed this.
25:05I have wine of coca.
25:07For instance, that will certainly be a tonic for you now we've stopped and camped.
25:16John.
25:17John.
25:19If Dr. Goodsir thinks that wine of coca will help, it's worth trying, isn't it?
25:25You'll never get yourself back to Gainsborough if you don't try everything.
25:31Gainsborough, yes?
25:34Where your people are.
25:38Semen, Morphin.
25:40Lower your weapon.
25:43That's an order.
26:08You're clear, Sergeant.
26:26Carry Mr. Morphin to the store's tent.
26:31Bury him in the morning.
26:35Lieutenant Hodgson, will you oversee it, please?
26:48Go back to your tents, then.
26:55Try to get some sleep.
27:07Bury him in the morning, he'll be safely down.
27:26We believe we don't worry we'll go upstairs in the morning.
27:52Oh, my God.
27:56Oh, my God.
28:29The night you accompanied Mr. Hickey to subdue Lady Silence,
28:33is there more to that story than we've heard?
28:38Were others involved, even indirectly?
28:46You have my trust, Mr. Hartnell.
28:48You needn't answer if it puts you in a corner.
28:52It's not that, sir.
28:55There was a fourth man.
28:57Sergeant Torsier?
29:00No, sir.
29:04Watch Mr. Armitage.
29:10We'll watch him together if you're willing, Mr. Hartnell.
29:13My apologies, sir.
29:14It's all right, Jobson.
29:16Thank you, Mr. Hartnell.
29:19We'll speak again.
29:21Yes, sir.
29:23Thank you, sir.
29:29You should have fetched me when you woke to dress, sir.
29:33I couldn't sleep.
29:35You should have fetched me for that, too.
29:37I have the drops Dr. McDonald mixed for you last summer.
29:40How does it feel not being fetched for drops or drawers?
29:44Miserable, sir.
29:46That is my job.
29:48You are shaving away.
29:52You should also know that Mr. Hoare reports that Neptune is missing again.
29:58He says he thinks he may have left the gates unlocked.
30:03Well, he'll come back when he's hungry.
30:06Sir.
30:08Uh, I need to hold a command meeting this morning for Captain Fitzjames and the lieutenants.
30:14I'll let you gather them.
30:17Oh, thank you very much, sir.
30:30We have an emergency with our tinned provisions, gentlemen.
30:37Not just rotting.
30:40Dr. Good, sir, has discovered a more insidious issue,
30:44which has been silently undercutting all of us for years.
30:50Because how they were manufactured.
30:53All the cans.
30:57Every single one of them.
31:06Hunting parties begin today.
31:08One south, one east.
31:11Each party will have two officers and four mixed men.
31:15They will surely have concerns about traveling any distance in such small numbers, but it is a risk we urgently
31:22need to take.
31:22And if we're unable to find game, sir?
31:24Then we will proceed as we have and keep moving south.
31:29I'll take south.
31:31Lieutenant Irving can take east.
31:32You'll stay in camp with Commander Fitzjames and myself.
31:36We need to start planning the fresh water parties.
31:41That leaves only three lieutenants, sir.
31:44Because it is needed, and because it is deserved, I am making a promotion this morning.
31:51An emergency measure, if you will.
31:55But one that is wholly sincere.
31:59To my knowledge, this has never been done.
32:03But then, much of what we are now doing has never been done so.
32:08I don't want there to be any confusion over this.
32:10Someone on this expedition has earned our trust, respect and confidence
32:17in a way that merits absolute a place at this table.
32:25Well, gentlemen, we have a new lieutenant to welcome this morning.
32:30James.
32:51Let me clarify, Jopson.
32:53I mean a third lieutenant.
32:55There's some modicum of protocol that must be observed, even here.
32:59Look at your face.
33:01Well, congratulations, Jopson.
33:06Well done.
33:09Congratulations.
33:11Good luck.
33:23Did you hear about Lieutenant Jopson?
33:30It's best if we keep our talk low.
33:34Very well.
33:37What do you think happened to Morphin last night?
33:41What was it?
33:43He was tired of being in pain.
33:46It made him desperate.
33:47Because he was ill.
33:50Ill how?
33:53Scurvy.
33:54Scurvy.
33:55I suppose.
33:57Enough men are showing sign of it.
33:59It's not scurvy.
34:00Dr. Goodsar, sir.
34:01Dr. Goodsar's lying to you.
34:02To all of us.
34:05As is the captain.
34:08And not only about this.
34:11What happened to Morphin?
34:12It's happening to all of us.
34:15And Goodsar, Crozier, know it.
34:19And it's going to keep happening as long as we're eating from the tins.
34:23Something in them is making us weak and weird.
34:27Building up in the body.
34:29And how do we know this?
34:33An error bite.
34:34Heard Mr. Goodsar.
34:36Telling doctors McDonald and Peddy something of it.
34:40A carnival.
34:42But no one told you.
34:48But if that's true,
34:51what can we do about it?
34:53We've nothing else to eat.
34:55We're moving further south now.
34:58There's more chance of running into game.
34:59Well, then what are we spared?
35:01Say we catch a ring seal.
35:04Let's say we catch three.
35:06Red meat.
35:10Fresh meat.
35:12You can get us off these tins.
35:15What happens on that day
35:16when you've finally got
35:18a decent plate of meat in front of you?
35:39Who is that?
35:43Who?
35:50This is Lieutenant Hodgson.
35:52It's not a man.
35:54But it did belong to one.
35:57What have you done?
35:59Just keep listening.
36:01I know this will make sense to you.
36:03Maybe only to you.
36:06With even this amount of meat,
36:08we could have a capital meal.
36:10Right now.
36:11The three of us.
36:13We could make it last several days.
36:16Under Crozier's plan,
36:17we divide this
36:19meat
36:22into nearly a hundred portions
36:23until each of us gets next to nothing.
36:26Even if we find game,
36:28even bigger game than this,
36:30with the help of Crozier's
36:33Eskimo friends,
36:35we have to be in numbers
36:36we can all agree
36:37are next to impossible.
36:43Crozier's plan
36:44is bootless.
36:50And you know it.
36:56God blind me.
37:01You've made a mistake, Mistakey.
37:05Miss Hodgson was our only alarm
37:07against the creature.
37:07It broke its front leg
37:09on the rocks.
37:10I found it.
37:13And I put it down.
37:16I'm not asking you to believe me about that.
37:19What are you asking me?
37:22There will be a moment
37:23when the numbers make sense
37:25to more of the men.
37:30And when that moment comes,
37:34we need an officer.
37:38who sees things clearly.
37:41I'm not a captain.
37:45I'm not made of that.
37:47You can be whatever you need to be now.
37:54Survival is a nasty piece of business.
37:57But we do what we have to do.
38:02We reconfigure.
38:05We reinvent.
38:07We rearrange.
38:10Let me
38:11be your lieutenant
38:13in a new arrangement.
38:16Let us get out together.
38:20let's put our hope
38:21in our own hands.
38:23Because what I have to tell you next
38:26is going to stamp out
38:27most of the hope
38:28you've been given.
38:41Mayor Man was stationed on a ship
38:43in Bathroom Bay
38:44for two seasons.
38:45It's a caribou
38:46does not
38:47the tallow beef does.
38:49But the taste is strong.
38:51And tastes more strongly
38:53of what is the animal's diet.
38:55Will that be rocks here then?
38:58The word diet
39:00comes from the Greek
39:01Vieta.
39:03The way of life.
39:07We've an hour left
39:08before we need to return.
39:10Let's cover more ground.

39:12with Mr. Armitage
39:13and Mr. Pocock.
