When a captain arrives on an English coastal town to investigate reports of smuggling, he ends up with much more to deal with, including marsh phantoms and a suspicious vicar.

00:00:18the charge being that you did willfully and maliciously attack a woman namely the wife of
00:00:24your own captain with intent to assault and murder her for which the punishment is the same
00:00:29as that for a traitor namely that your ears be slit no no and your tongue be cut out and
00:00:37you'll be
00:00:37taken to the nearest uninhabited shore with neither food nor water and left to die

00:09:04Well, we have a good hour here.
00:09:05I sit there past and like the sound of his own voice.
00:09:22Come on, come on.
00:09:32THE END
00:09:58And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to mispower,
00:10:04the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.
00:10:07And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
00:10:13And the children of Israel said to Samuel,
00:10:16Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand
00:10:22of the Philistines.
00:10:24And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel.
00:10:30But the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines and discomfited them.
00:10:40Ah, timed it just right, eh, Boson?
00:10:42Can't think why we didn't come here by road instead of all this boat caper.
00:10:45Boson said they'd be watching for us on the road. This way we're taken by surprise.
00:10:48Right, Boson.
00:10:49Oh, what?
00:10:55Now, let us sing hymn number 291.
00:10:59Oft in danger, oft in worth.
00:11:05Oft in woe,

00:11:46I'm going back to the church to make sure none of the flock leaves the fold.
00:11:50For that!
00:11:50I am going back to the church to make sure none of the flock leaves the fold.

00:12:47you're welcome to him boy very welcome
00:13:16i see
00:13:19I spoke too soon. The king's men are already with us.
00:13:23If you would care to join us in worship, Captain, you are more than welcome.
00:13:27But first, would you be kind enough to remove your hat?
00:13:32I would, sir, if I was here in the service of my maker.
00:13:35But I'm not. In the service of my king, I keep it on.
00:13:48I had prepared a sermon for today on the text,
00:13:51Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teacheth my hand to war and my fingers to fight.
00:13:56However, under the circumstances, I feel it would be rather inappropriate.
00:14:01Therefore, I shall suggest that you consider the service finished
00:14:04and that you should go straight to your homes.
00:14:14Well, nothing there, may be.
00:14:16Pitch too unfinity, says.
00:14:18Where?
00:14:18All I can show for me trouble is splinters in me fingers and corns on me feet.
00:14:22My heart bleeds for you.
00:14:23Who's going to pay for all this damage?
00:14:25Why, you are, Mr. Ash.
00:14:26With the right-thinking tax, why you want to stop, put the smuggling.
00:14:29So, where put the stop to it?
00:14:30What more compensation do you want than that?
00:14:33Do you follow our party, right, boys?
00:14:34Aye, sir.
00:14:35But we found nothing.
00:14:38What's it happen?
00:14:40Mr. Ash.
00:14:44It's here somewhere.
00:14:46Unless that informer catch was lying, Captain.
00:14:48He was too frightened to lie.
00:14:50All right, Bowson, fetch your ferret.
00:14:52Aye, Captain.
00:15:08Unchain him.
00:15:11Look at this.
00:15:14So they've no fancy French wines, eh, Captain?
00:15:17I don't like this.
00:15:35Ugh!
00:15:36Oh!
00:15:41Aaah!
00:15:48You two! Come in here. Come on. What's this? A hole in the floor, Captain. I can see that, fool.
00:16:04What's down there?
00:16:06Why, the cellar, of course. Why the concealed entrance? Well, it's an old inn.
00:16:11Get down there.
00:16:29No secrets here, Captain. Just tar for the nets, lamp oil, and light.
00:16:51What's in that? White varnish. For the boats. You sure it isn't White Holland's gin? Yes.
00:17:10Open it. He was speaking the truth, Captain. Here, Captain.
00:17:27Varnish. Varnish, Captain. Did anyone tell you different?
00:17:42There's a man here called Ketch. Do you know him?
00:17:45Oh, yes. That'll be young Tom. I want to see him.
00:17:47Well, that'll be... Take me to him. No arguments.
00:17:50Very well, Captain. Here.
00:18:04Yes. Go this way, Captain.
00:18:31There's a man.
00:18:35but if we don't get rid of everything quick, they're going to learn the taste of brandy and gin.
00:18:39Shh! Listen.
00:18:45Yes, Captain, I should have told you I was at sea myself for years.
00:18:48I sailed round the world three times.
00:18:51Pirating?
00:18:52There you go. Always suspicious, eh?
00:18:54No, no, I was a ship's carpenter.
00:18:56A very good one, too. That's where I learned my trade.
00:18:59Of course, it's a bit quiet here after the hijinks at sea, but it has its points.
00:19:04What's down there?
00:19:05Well, that's the coffin shop.
00:19:07But, Captain, you came here to see Tom Ketch, didn't you?
00:19:12Tom?
00:19:19Came in this morning. I haven't had time to touch him up yet.
00:19:22He was alive last night.
00:19:25How did he die?
00:19:26He was found floating in one of the ponds on the marshes.
00:19:29The squire found him this morning when he was out riding the squire cob for it.
00:19:32How did he die, ma'am?
00:19:34Well, Dr Pepper signed the certificate natural causes, but I should have thought from the look of the poor fellow
00:19:39that he died of fright.
00:19:41Now, that's more like unnatural causes, wouldn't you think?
00:19:43Frightened to death? What by him?
00:19:45Well, he didn't tell us, of course, being dead, but I should think it was the marsh phantoms.
00:19:50The what?
00:19:51The marsh phantoms. People around here don't believe in them, say they don't exist.
00:19:56That's during the daytime, of course.
00:19:59At night, if you ask them to go for a walk across the marshes, you'll find that they have something
00:20:02very much more important to do, like bolting the door and going to bed.
00:20:05Old wives' tales.
00:20:07I'm sure you were the best, Captain.
00:20:11You said the squire discovered the body?
00:20:12Yes.
00:20:13Where do I find him?
00:20:13He will probably be in the church saying his prayers. Shall I take you?
00:20:17No, I'll find him.
00:20:18There you wish.
00:20:24Thanks, matey.
00:20:27Two out of your wits, bringing him here, risking all our necks.
00:20:30I've brought him to pay his last respects to the swab that gave us all away, the late Tom Ketch.
00:20:36He's off to see the squire now. Won't be back for quite some time.
00:20:39We're getting rid of this stuff.
00:20:41Hey, wait a minute.
00:20:42We're still.
00:20:44I don't mind lending my coffins in a good cause, but I'm not having them smashed up.
00:20:49Lovely bit of grain, then.
00:20:50Throw the liquor in the creek. Smash up the kegs. Get rid of it.
00:20:53By whose orders, Mr. Rash?
00:20:55By my orders.
00:20:56We was told to wait, Rash.
00:20:57We'll wait so long we'll have a rope round all our necks.
00:21:00Get rid of it.
00:21:01Mr. Rash!
00:21:04Since when have you given orders?
00:21:06Well, I'd start with all them fellas...
00:21:07There's no need for you to think.
00:21:09I think for all of you. Is there clearly understood?
00:21:14As you say.
00:21:16Exactly. As I say.
00:21:18The goods will be delivered tonight in the usual way, at midnight.
00:21:20What about the revenue men?
00:21:23There's a chance they'll be gone by then.
00:21:25Well, supposing they're not gone?
00:21:27I don't like it.
00:21:28I am not interested in whether you like it or not, Mr. Rash.
00:21:31Just as long as you do as I tell you.
00:21:33You've been in this trade long enough to know we all have to take risks.
00:21:38It's been all right for him. He's done very nicely out of it all these years.
00:21:40Oh, yes. Very nicely.
00:21:42He's taken all of his fair share and squandered it on food for those that were hungry and clothes for
00:21:47them that didn't have it.
00:21:47All right, Mr. Mips.
00:21:49Now, listen.
00:21:50I want the word spread that the King's men are not to be offered accommodation in the village.
00:21:53There is to be no room for them anywhere.
00:21:55All right.
00:21:55And remember, there's to be no violence either.
00:21:58All right.
00:22:00Mr. Rash!
00:22:03I heard you.
00:22:04Then say so.
00:22:07Midnight then.
00:22:11He put you in your place properly, Mr. Rash, didn't he?
00:22:13No violence.
00:22:25No...
00:22:35There is nothing.
00:22:37Now.
00:22:45Ya.
00:22:48You...
00:22:54Theystar.
00:22:58Ah, Captain, admiring our little church.
00:23:05And you've removed your hat, I see.
00:23:07Are you no longer in the service of the king?
00:23:09I came to find the squire, but I'm also looking for quarters for my men, Parson.
00:23:14Not in here, I hope.
00:23:15No, but you'll know the most suitable places.
00:23:18Ah, yes. Have you tried the inn?
00:23:20Oh, come now, Parson. There's only one room in the inn.
00:23:22And you've taken that, I expect.
00:23:24Well, it's hard to dig enough for all of you, is it?
00:23:26Let me see now. There's Mrs. Wagstaff.
00:23:28Oh, no, no, she's just had another, hasn't she?
00:23:30Her 13th, I think it is.
00:23:31That would be a little crowded, wouldn't it?
00:23:33And a little noisy, too, I expect.
00:23:35I wouldn't mind just holding that for a moment.
00:23:38Dr. Pepper has a spare room.
00:23:40But he's been attending some rather nasty cases of the plague recently,
00:23:44so I couldn't really recommend there.
00:23:46No.
00:23:48No, I'm afraid the inn is about all we can offer.
00:23:53Really, I think the best thing you can do is to march your men back to the ship just for
00:23:57tonight
00:23:57and then march them back again.
00:24:00We're staying the night in Dimchurch.
00:24:02Are you?
00:24:04I wonder where.
00:24:06Well, he certainly seemed to keep you fellas chasing around the world, I must say.
00:24:10Oh, here, Squire Coventry.
00:24:11Hey.
00:24:12Sir Antony, this gentleman has been looking for you.
00:24:14May I present Captain...
00:24:15Uh, Collier.
00:24:16Captain Howard Collier at your service, sir.
00:24:18Not thee, Captain Collier, who sank the French fricot Lyon d'Or at the mouth of the St. Lawrence.
00:24:22Oh, then you've heard of me, sir.
00:24:24Why, most certainly.
00:24:25We're not quite so out of touch that we don't know something about our national heroes.
00:24:30Squire, I should like...
00:24:30Your man has been telling me you chase this fella halfway around the world.
00:24:33Huh?
00:24:34Captain Clegg, sir.
00:24:36Captain Clegg.
00:24:37Ah, so this is where the rascal ended up, huh?
00:24:40Yes, I flatter myself that I gave him a run for his money and...
00:24:43But you never caught him, Captain.
00:24:45Yes, that's true, but how did you know?
00:24:48He was hanged at Rye.
00:24:49I attended his last rites as prison chaplain.
00:24:51Last rites?
00:24:52I suppose he repented all his sins at the last moment.
00:24:55He died a Christian.
00:24:56I interceded to obtain him a Christian burial here in Dimchurch.
00:25:00Well, if I'd have caught him, he'd have had a different end.
00:25:02I'd have had him hanged, drawn and caught him publicly, too.
00:25:05I'm sure you would, but then you didn't catch him, did you?
00:25:08Well, I must be all...
00:25:09Esquire.
00:25:13I may expect you for supper, Bliss.
00:25:15Delighted.
00:25:17I should like a word with you, squire.
00:25:18It's important.
00:25:20Oh, very well, then.
00:25:21Join us for supper.
00:25:22At the inn.
00:25:23Eight o'clock sharp.
00:25:24You want me, sir.
00:25:27Shall I see you and your men at evens, aren't you, Captain?
00:25:30Seven o'clock sharp?
00:25:31I very much doubt it, Parson.
00:25:33Sailors have other ways of looking after their spirits.
00:25:48What are you stirring at, son?
00:25:49I can try that enough.
00:25:51You'll be a sailor when you grows up, eh?
00:25:52No.
00:25:53I'm going to be anglet.
00:25:54I'm going to string him up and come down.
00:25:58We may have business for you, boy, before we finish here.
00:26:14What have you all done stirring?
00:26:16It's all the same to you, miss.
00:26:17I'd like a few minutes more.
00:26:21Imogen, Mrs. Rush wants you.
00:26:23Yes, Mrs. Rush.
00:26:24You slip around the back and see if there's any more best aid.
00:26:43You shouldn't come here.
00:26:45Aren't you pleased to see me?
00:26:46No, it's not right for the squire, son, to be hanging around the back.
00:26:50Hanging around the back of the inn to see the barmaid.
00:26:52You keep telling me that.
00:26:54It's true.
00:26:55We'll go in, then.
00:26:56Oh, no, please don't do that.
00:26:57If Mr. Rush should see you, I don't know what he'd do to me.
00:27:00He doesn't treat you badly, does he?
00:27:02No.
00:27:03But he's my legal guardian, and he could send me away if he wanted to.
00:27:07If he should guess that we're saying each other...
00:27:09Let him guess.
00:27:12Why should he object to me?
00:27:14Oh, Harry!
00:27:15Wouldn't he like you to marry the squire's son?
00:27:20Marry.
00:27:24Amoshe, you know we will marry as soon as we can.
00:27:28So you said.
00:27:32I do love you, sir.
00:27:34Oh, yes.
00:27:35You said that, too.
00:27:37You said that if your father wouldn't allow you to marry me.
00:27:40Then we'd be married secretly.
00:27:42So we will.
00:27:42And we'd leave here.
00:27:44And go to some new place where no one knew or cared who we were.
00:27:49So we will.
00:27:51Then why don't we?
00:27:54Because I can't.
00:27:58You see, I might be in some danger.
00:28:00What danger?
00:28:01Imagine!
00:28:02Where's that rail?
00:28:03Quick, please don't let him see you.
00:28:04Later.
00:28:06I'll try.
00:28:12I thought I told you to hurry.
00:28:14Breathe now, Mr. Ash.
00:28:15Wait a minute.
00:28:16Somebody been out here with you?
00:28:18No.
00:28:19No one?
00:28:32No one?
00:28:33He's been all this time, girl.
00:28:34The squire's here with his party.
00:28:36Take this into him.
00:28:37Hurry now.
00:28:44Oh, pigeon pie.
00:28:46It always amazes me how Mrs. Rash manages to get so many birds under one crust.
00:28:50Ah, she's a dim church woman.
00:28:52And what goes on under the crust of this village would surprise anyone.
00:28:56Oh, Rash.
00:28:57Bring up some mandira and open a bottle of Chateau Lafitte, will you?
00:28:59I've already taken the liberty of doing so, squire.
00:29:01Splendid.
00:29:02One moment, Mr. Rash.
00:29:03I was told you didn't stock wines in this inn.
00:29:05No, sir.
00:29:06But the squire generally keeps a few bottles from his own private cellar here.
00:29:10And a very pretty wine it is, too.
00:29:11And a pretty duty it pays.
00:29:13Or should be.
00:29:15By thunder, sir.
00:29:16Are you suggesting that...
00:29:18Perhaps you'd like my cellar book?
00:29:19If I can't, I'll briefly walk.
00:29:20Now, sir Anthony, the captain's only complimenting you on your choice of wine.
00:29:24I hope you'll sample my little stock if you stay long enough.
00:29:27I shall be pleased, too.
00:29:29Now, where have you been? You're late.
00:29:30I'm sorry, I'm late, sir.
00:29:31I know you're sorry, but that doesn't answer me question.
00:29:33Where have you been?
00:29:34You left these outside, sir.
00:29:37I was otherwise engaged, father.
00:29:39Now, wenching again, I'll stake my win.
00:29:43My son.
00:29:44He's a free thinker.
00:29:46Fair shares for all, and all that nonsense.
00:29:48If you don't get it from me, I can assure you of that.
00:29:50What do you think of that, sir?
00:29:52What with that and his wenching?
00:29:53You should be very glad that he has an eye for the lady squire.
00:29:56That's high time one of the cob trees introduced some good looks into the family, what?
00:29:59Yeah.
00:30:02What is it, person?
00:30:03It's about the pellets for the men, sir.
00:30:04What about them?
00:30:05There ain't none.
00:30:06There's not an empty room in the whole village.
00:30:08Shall I march the men back to ship, sir?
00:30:10Yes, yes, person, person.
00:30:11Just a minute.
00:30:12What sort of men are they, captain?
00:30:14The sweepings of Chathamabe barn.
00:30:16As fine a body of men as you can get, squad.
00:30:18Yeah, well, I mean, they won't object to a little discomfort.
00:30:20They're used to that, sir.
00:30:21Well, there's a barn of mine they can use.
00:30:24Oh, dear.
00:30:25Round the back of the church, a boy, shall you?
00:30:27What's this, sir?
00:30:28I see you, by the boson.
00:30:29Aye, sir.
00:30:30Oh, dear, I do seem to have made her after a mess.
00:30:33Has she just slipped down into the bar, Mrs. Rashford?
00:30:36In the damp cloth.
00:30:37So sorry, excuse me.
00:30:39Like this, very poor.
00:30:40Thank you very much, squire, for the...
00:30:43Thank you!
00:30:48Thank you!
00:30:51Give us a song, beautiful.
00:30:53They can't sing.
00:30:55We don't want the words, just the melody.
00:30:57Give him the note, Dad.
00:31:00I'm telling you, sorry.
00:31:01Go on.
00:31:02One, two, and...
00:31:23Puppet!
00:31:24Let him go!
00:31:26How did he like this, then?
00:31:28Come on.
00:31:31Come on.
00:31:37Come on.
00:31:39Come on.
00:31:42Come on.
00:31:44Come on.
00:31:45Come on.
00:31:45Come on.
00:31:46Come on.
00:31:59That must be the drink.
00:32:06What's come over the evil creature, your reverence?
00:32:08General Lee's as quiet as a lamb.
00:32:10What an earthly happy man.
00:32:11My apologies, Parson.
00:32:12Barson, what happened?
00:32:13Is one of your men got a little out of hand?
00:32:16Then our local ale is rather strong.
00:32:18Please, please, it's at no consequence.
00:32:20Shall I get the men outside, sir?
00:32:21The sooner the better, it would seem.
00:32:23Yes, it wasn't much more.
00:32:24All right, come on, you run, swillin' scuffer, it's outside.
00:32:27Come on, you can go far down here.
00:32:28Three thinkers, the lot of them.
00:32:30This wouldn't have happened in the old king's time, you know.
00:32:33Oh, well, let's get back to our pigeon pie.
00:32:35Come on.
00:32:37I understand it was you, squire,
00:32:39who found the body of Tom Ketchum the marsh this morning.
00:32:42Well?
00:32:42Have you any idea how he died?
00:32:44Well, Dr. Pepper says it was heart failure.
00:32:47If that's what Pepper says he died of,
00:32:48then that is what he died of, as far as I'm concerned.
00:32:51More portless.
00:32:52I don't think.
00:32:52Heart failure.
00:32:54It was rather sudden, wasn't it?
00:32:55I don't know whether it was sudden or not.
00:32:56I don't very much care.
00:32:58Neither so do I very much care for the tone of your questions.
00:33:00I'm sure the captain's only trying to do his duty, squire.
00:33:03Then let him do it with a little more respect for his betters.
00:33:05Why are you so interested in this man, Ketch, captain?
00:33:09Well, I might as well tell you, since he can come to no more harm.
00:33:12It was Ketch who told me of certain activities that he knew were going on down here at Dimchurch.
00:33:16Oh, what activities?
00:33:17Smuggling.
00:33:18If there was any smuggling here, I'd know about it.
00:33:21You'd forget that I happened to be chief magistrate.
00:33:23How do you think Ketch died, captain?
00:33:25Ah, thank you.
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:28All I heard was some cock and bull story about being frightened to death
00:33:32by phantoms.
00:33:34Ah, phantoms.
00:33:35Ghosts.
00:33:36Spooks.
00:33:37You haven't heard of the Romney Marsh phantoms, captain?
00:33:39What are they, some local superstitions?
00:33:41Oh, don't tell me you believe in them, squire.
00:33:43Would you kill an albatross or set sail on a Friday?
00:33:46Well, no, I wouldn't, but that's...
00:33:47Local superstitions of yours, captain.
00:33:49Well, have any of you ever seen any of these so-called phantoms?
00:33:53You, squire.
00:33:54You, parson.
00:33:55I know many honest men whose word I trust implicitly who have seen them.
00:33:59I've seen them, sir.
00:34:02You have?
00:34:03What did they look like?
00:34:04They were horrible.
00:34:06Their horses seemed to move without touching the ground or even making a sound.
00:34:15Their faces were like nothing on this earth.
00:34:18Glowing as if on fire.
00:34:23How many were there?
00:34:24Oh, a dozen or more.
00:34:25It was difficult to tell, father.
00:34:26They kept on appearing and disappearing.
00:34:28And I'll tell you why they kept disappearing.
00:34:30Because they weren't there at all, except in your fevered imagination.
00:34:32Perhaps you'd change your tune, sir, if you saw them to yourself.
00:34:34If I ever saw them, sir, it's this I'd change.
00:34:37To water.
00:34:41Now, with your leave, gentlemen, I must see that my men have bedded down for the night.
00:34:55Here, give him this.
00:34:57Lovable little creature, isn't he?
00:34:59What happened to him?
00:35:01Oh, he fell foul of Captain Clegg.
00:35:03The pirate.
00:35:04Aye, that's him.
00:35:05He attacked Clegg's wife, so they say.
00:35:07So they left him to die on a desert island in the South Seas.
00:35:10But we were up on Clegg's heels at the time and we picked him up.
00:35:14Lucky for you, we did, eh?
00:35:15Is he always like this?
00:35:17No, he's all right in the ordinary way.
00:35:20But tonight something seems to have upset him.
00:35:22He ain't his usual happy self.
00:35:29You see, he's frightened of fire, boy.
00:35:32You know, he don't seem to like the look of you.
00:35:35Some people has that effect on him.
00:35:37And when he's like that, he just as soon slits your throat
00:35:42or claw out your gizzeters' look at you.
00:35:47So, the local people really believe in these marsh phantoms, oh, Parson?
00:35:50They're very devout here.
00:35:52They don't get a medal with the forces of darkness.
00:35:54But you're a doctor of divinity.
00:35:55Don't tell me you believe in them, too.
00:35:57I believe in the power of good and evil.
00:35:59Good night, Vicar.
00:36:00Good night, Mr. Nepps.
00:36:01Good night.
00:36:02I know that strange devilish forces do exist
00:36:04with powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortal man.
00:36:07It is best not to antagonize those forces.
00:36:11I saw them!
00:36:12I saw them!
00:36:13In his name.
00:36:15Oh, God.
00:36:17The phantoms.
00:36:18They passed so close, I could have touched them.
00:36:20Oh, I could have touched them.
00:36:22No, I saw them just as close as you are to me now.
00:36:24I never want to see the legs again.
00:36:26Where?
00:36:26Where did you see them?
00:36:27In the village?
00:36:27Village?
00:36:28No.
00:36:29Well, up there.
00:36:30On the marshes.
00:36:31The marsh phantoms.
00:36:32They scared the wits out of me.
00:36:33Where on the marshes?
00:36:34Where?
00:36:34Well, north, south, east, west.
00:36:35Where, ma'am?
00:36:36Well, I couldn't say exactly.
00:36:38Then think exactly.
00:36:40Think, ma'am.
00:36:41He's had a terrible experience.
00:36:43Look, up there somewhere.
00:36:44Where?
00:36:45How far?
00:36:45How far?
00:36:46Well, about a tidy way.
00:36:48About a mile or more.
00:36:49A tidy way.
00:36:50No faces.
00:36:51Holy scuds.
00:36:52If you have all the information you require from this poor fellow, Captain, I'll take him hurt.
00:36:56He's coming with me.
00:36:57He's going to show me these marsh phantoms of yours, Parson.
00:37:00But can't you see he's ill with shock?
00:37:02Then a walk across the marshes will do him some good.
00:37:05Come on.
00:37:06In the name of charity, Captain.
00:37:07In the name of the king, I'm taking this man.
00:37:09Good night, Parson.
00:37:10No, we can't.
00:37:11We don't have to go back there again.
00:37:12Come on.
00:37:26Pleasant dreams, mateys.
00:37:28Lord, this stuff tickles, doesn't it?
00:37:34Hey, come on, mate.
00:37:35Get your head down.
00:37:38Come on.
00:37:38Come on outside.
00:37:41Come on, you scum.
00:37:42Charlie, let's see the color of your feet and get outside.
00:37:45Watch out, then, Parson.
00:37:46You're all going for a nice long move across the marshes.
00:37:48That's what's up.
00:37:49Now move yourself.
00:37:51Come on outside.
00:37:53Come on, move.
00:37:54Get out.
00:38:02Come on, mate.
00:38:03Go to sleep.
00:38:05Which way?
00:38:06Well, this.
00:38:06Right leader, my Parson.
00:38:08Right turn.
00:38:08Come on.
00:38:10Four, one.
00:38:17Everything ready, Mr. Mitts?
00:38:19It is, yes.
00:38:20You'd better move quickly, then.
00:38:32I think we're about ready now, Mr. Resch.
00:38:37It's them.
00:38:38It's the King's men.
00:38:39It's the King's men.
00:38:45Evening, Captain.
00:38:46Working late tonight, coffin maker?
00:38:50Yes, these chilly evenings are good for business.
00:38:54And if you lot were to get lost on the marshes, it'd be even better.
00:39:00That wagon tongue of yours will have us all dangling one day.
00:39:02Just attending to business, Mr. Resch.
00:39:04All safe now.
00:39:06Wait.
00:39:07I want a word with you.
00:39:08Why?
00:39:09What have I done?
00:39:09It's not what you've done, but what you might do.
00:39:11You're becoming a danger to the organization.
00:39:14You're losing your nerve.
00:39:15I don't like the King's men round our necks, that's all.
00:39:17Would you prefer the hangman's noose?
00:39:19That's what you get us all if you're not careful.
00:39:21I ought to be with the others.
00:39:22You'll not join them tonight, you'll go home.
00:39:24Why?
00:39:24I've always done my share, carried out my orders.
00:39:26Come and see me tomorrow evening at the vicarage.
00:39:28We'll be safe by then.
00:40:13Hey!
00:40:17Hey!

00:47:04Hey, that's Scarecrow. It moved. It moved, I tell you.
00:47:09That Scarecrow moved, sir.
00:47:11Did it?
00:47:34Blood.
00:47:50Good morning, Captain.
00:47:53Getting up an appetite. I'm an early riser myself.
00:47:57Would you care to join me for breakfast?
00:47:59Grilled kidneys and bacon, I think.
00:48:01Carry on, Wilson.
00:48:02Thank you, Doctor.
00:48:04Let yourself in. It's not locked.
00:48:05Hurry!
00:48:06Down in a moment. Goodbye.
00:48:25I always think this is the best part of the day, don't you?
00:48:28Come in, come in. Thank you.
00:48:34There. What did I say?
00:48:36Kidneys and bacon.
00:48:37Delicious.
00:48:38Come in, come in. Help yourself, please do.
00:48:39Well, some coffee first, perhaps.
00:48:46Did you sleep well last night?
00:48:49Well, exceptionally well, thank you. And you?
00:48:52Oh, no, you're out looking for the phantoms, weren't you? Of course.
00:48:55Don't tell me you've only just returned.
00:48:57Yes.
00:48:58Oh, dear me. You must have walked a long way.
00:49:00Did you have any luck?
00:49:02Yes, and none.
00:49:04That's comprehensive, anyway.
00:49:05Cream?
00:49:06What did you find?
00:49:10A scarecrow that bled.
00:49:21Why did you flinch when I touched your arm?
00:49:23It wasn't my arm, Captain. You trot on my foot.
00:49:26Captain.
00:49:27What is it?
00:49:28Captain.
00:49:29Poston says, will you come at once, sir?
00:49:31It's urgent.
00:49:32My apologies, Poston.
00:49:39Good day.
00:49:40Good day, sir.
00:49:47Come and have some breakfast, Harry. You've earned it.
00:49:50Then you'd better get these boots of yours clean quickly.
00:49:58Must have jumped him from behind, done him in, got free and made a run for it, sir.
00:50:04He is.
00:50:19He is.
00:50:21No.
00:50:21Oh, come on.
00:50:22No, no.
00:50:23That's so young.
00:50:26Oops!
00:50:26What the?
00:50:27No!
00:50:57No!
00:51:34No!
00:52:00No!
00:52:29What happened?
00:52:30Doubt the fire!
00:52:46What happened, sir?
00:52:47You're my latter. He broke into my house.
00:52:51Smee, fetch the bosun with the party and hurry.
00:52:54I'll see that you're not disturbed anymore.
00:52:56I wonder why he should break into your house.
00:52:58But when you catch him, you might ask him.
00:52:59He wouldn't be able to tell me, sir.
00:53:01He had his tongue cut out by Captain Clegg.
00:53:04Can you find your way home?
00:53:07Without your spectacles?
00:53:10Yes, thank you, Captain.
00:53:14Good night.
00:53:44Please take me away from here.
00:53:46Somewhere where we can start a new life, Harry.
00:53:48I can't believe you're a machine. Not yet, that is.
00:53:51But you said you'd be willing to start fresh in some other place.
00:53:54You told me that.
00:53:56Still true.
00:53:58That's what we will do.
00:54:00But I have to ask someone first.
00:54:03Your father?
00:54:04No, not my father.
00:54:07Who, then?
00:54:10Harry, please tell me.
00:54:14Evangine, do you trust me?
00:54:17Yes, I do.
00:54:18I always have done it.
00:54:20Trust me a little longer then, will you?
00:54:23If you ask me to.
00:54:37Mr. Ash?
00:55:26Mr. Ash?
00:55:37Please get out of my room.
00:55:38Not until I've kissed you goodnight and told you a little bedtime story.
00:55:41The story of little Imogen.
00:55:44Who are you?
00:55:45You know.
00:55:46I know what the person told me when he brought you here.
00:55:49He said that your father was some brave captain that was lost at sea, didn't he?
00:55:53He was.
00:55:54He was lost, all right. To the devil.
00:55:57You're the daughter of a common pirate that was hanged at Rye jail.
00:56:02I don't believe it.
00:56:03There's the proof.
00:56:05Your father was Captain Clegg.
00:56:09Don't you fret yourself, my little pirate's daughter.
00:56:12I'll not tell anyone.
00:56:14I've always been respectful to you, haven't I?
00:56:16But I've had to keep me real feelings to myself until now.
00:56:39Come back!
00:56:42Come back!
00:56:54What is she?
00:56:56Oh, doctor, please.
00:56:56I must see you.
00:56:57Come inside.
00:57:01Oh, what's happening?
00:57:02Is it true that my father was Captain Clegg?
00:57:06Who told you that?
00:57:07Mr. Ash.
00:57:10Yes, it is true.
00:57:11Does it trouble you?
00:57:13Why?
00:57:13Because of Harry?
00:57:15We were to be married.
00:57:16Ah, now you think he won't marry, was that it?
00:57:18Oh, my dear Imogen.
00:57:20You underestimate him.
00:57:22My father was hanged in jail.
00:57:23A coward and a traitor.
00:57:26Now, that is not true, Imogen.
00:57:28Clegg was bad, but he was never a coward nor a traitor.
00:57:31Sit down.
00:57:32He outwitted the entire British Navy for more than ten years.
00:57:35They never forgave him.
00:57:37Did you know he was offered a free pardon by the King
00:57:39for capturing a Spanish slave trader?
00:57:41But he wasn't pardoned.
00:57:42They hanged him.
00:57:43As soon as he touched British soil, the Navy seized him
00:57:45and flung him into jail, and then hanged him without a trial.
00:57:50He was betrayed, Imogen.
00:57:52That's why he lies out there now in our Churchill.
00:58:00He's taken the body.
00:58:06You want to see me, sir?
00:58:07Yes.
00:58:08Imogen's here.
00:58:09She has some news for you.
00:58:10I think she'd rather tell you herself.
00:58:14What is it, Imogen?
00:58:16My father was Captain Clegg.
00:58:19Yes, I know.
00:58:22You know.
00:58:23Dr. Blitz told me some time ago.
00:58:26He asked me to keep it a secret.
00:58:29You knew all the time.
00:58:31Oh, Harry.
00:58:33Perhaps you'd like to escort your fiancé back to the inn, Harry.
00:58:36Yes.
00:58:39Thank you, sir.
00:58:46What is it, Imogen?
00:58:47I can't go back there, to the inn.
00:58:50Why not?
00:58:52Mr. Ash.
00:58:55What about Mr. Ash?
00:58:58He'd been drinking.
00:59:00He came into my room and...
00:59:02Oh, Harry.
00:59:18Young squire.
00:59:24If you so much as look at Imogen again, Rash...
00:59:28I'll kill you.
00:59:35Got your arm, have you?
00:59:36Did you hear what I said?
00:59:37I wonder why you came to do that.
00:59:38I said, did you hear what I said?
00:59:39Yes, I heard you're my fine young squire.
00:59:42So it's my little ward, you fancy, is it?
00:59:43Well, I don't wonder at it.
00:59:44A very generous girl is our Imogen.
00:59:46Don't mind sharing her favours.
01:00:06I'll take him out of the horse drop and sober him up.
01:00:08Look!
01:00:09Captain, look at his arm!
01:00:11Look at his arm!
01:00:12Look at it!
01:00:15May I take a look at your arm, sir?
01:00:20Oh!
01:00:34Cut yourself?
01:00:35Yes, Captain.
01:00:37Shaving.
01:00:38I shot a scarecrow and hit a man.
01:00:40It was you, wasn't it?
01:00:41Oh, Captain, I ask you...
01:00:43Do I look like a scarecrow?
01:00:50Take him in there and teach him not to be funny with me.
01:00:53Take him in there and teach him not to be funny with me.
01:00:59Great person.
01:01:19Now, perhaps you'd care to tell me how you got that wound?
01:01:23No, I wouldn't.
01:01:24Hold it, Bosun!
01:01:26These lads can get very nasty if they want you.
01:01:29I wouldn't tell you whatever you did to me.
01:01:32No, I don't believe you would.
01:01:34You'd be more used to us as a hostage.
01:01:37Collect a party and take him down to the ship, Bosun.
01:01:38You'll be safer down there.
01:01:49Enjoy your bath, Mr. Landlord.
01:01:54One moment, Mr. Rash.
01:01:56How did you know about the boy's arm?
01:01:58I saw it, didn't I?
01:01:59Yes, but how did you know I'd be interested?
01:02:03I've got something here that'll interest you, Captain.
01:02:06I'll give you this for you. Let me go free.
01:02:08What is it?
01:02:09I'll turn King's evidence. They'll let you ask a few.
01:02:10I'll give you a little, Michael.
01:02:12Oh!
01:02:26Right lad, aren't you?
01:02:28Get him to this ship.
01:02:37Now, sir.
01:02:38Now, keep him under guard till he comes round.
01:03:08Let's go.
01:03:08Let's go.
01:03:35Who's there?
01:03:36Mr. Rass.
01:03:37What are you doing here?
01:03:38It's all up with us, Mips.
01:03:40We've got to save ourselves as fast as we can, before they come for us, you and me,
01:03:44Mips.
01:03:45What are you going on about?
01:03:46It's the King's men.
01:03:47They've got the scarecrow.
01:03:48They what?
01:03:49They've got Harry.
01:03:50He'll tell them everything.
01:03:51They've got Harry?
01:03:52Where have they got him?
01:03:53They've taken him to their ship.
01:03:55You stay here, Mr. Rass.
01:03:56I'll go for the vicar.
01:03:58I can't wait for that.
01:03:59He won't do us no good now.
01:04:19Mr. Mips.
01:04:20I've got Harry.
01:04:21I can't wait for you.
01:04:22I can't wait for you.
01:04:29I can't wait for you.
01:04:56Let's go.
01:05:45What's that?
01:06:01What's that?
01:06:28What's that?
01:07:01What's that?
01:07:30Let's have a look at you.
01:07:51Let's have a look at you.
01:08:04Let's have a look at you.
01:08:24Let's have a look at you.
01:09:01Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation to
01:09:09join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
01:09:19To love, cherish and obey.
01:09:23Until death has to part.
01:09:25Until death has to part.
01:09:26And there too.
01:09:28And there too.
01:09:29I pledge thee my trust.
01:09:31I pledge thee my trust.
01:10:00With this ring.
01:10:02I thee wed, and with my body I thee worship,
01:10:05and with all my worldly gods I thee endow.
01:10:13Forasmuch as Harry and Imogene have consented together in holy wedlock,
01:10:18and have witnessed the same before God and this company,
01:10:25and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a ring,
01:10:30and joining of hands.
01:10:32I pronounce that they be man and wife together.
01:10:44God bless you, sir. You take care of her, Harry.
01:10:48Dear Imogene, be happy.
01:11:00Get your man posted, bosun.
01:11:03Where is Dr. Bliss?
01:11:05Your horse is waiting for you.
01:11:07I can't leave you like this.
01:11:08You can only will. Now hurry.
01:11:12Last time I saw him about, I should think,
01:11:15ten o'clock, perhaps even eleven.
01:11:18Well, I'd better say half past just to be on the safe side.
01:11:20All right, Mr. Nibbs. Thank you.
01:11:23I believe you wanted to see me.
01:11:25I've come to arrest you, sir.
01:11:26On what charge?
01:11:27And where is your warrant?
01:11:28Have you issued a warrant, squire?
01:11:29No, I most certainly have not.
01:11:31And, Captain, unless you give me the explanation that you promised,
01:11:34I shall report you to the Lords of the Admiralty.
01:11:37Dr. Bliss, I should like you to answer a few questions,
01:11:39now in front of the squire.
01:11:40Then you shall have your explanation and I my warrant.
01:11:44In view of your cloth and surroundings,
01:11:45I do not feel I need ask you to swear to tell the truth.
01:11:48I am ready.
01:11:51How long have you been a vicar of this village?
01:11:53Ten years.
01:11:53What were you before you came here?
01:11:56A younger man.
01:11:58I want a straight answer.
01:11:59That is what I gave you.
01:12:00Will you answer me or not?
01:12:03I will.
01:12:03But I must warn you, I've lived a very full life
01:12:05and the telling of it may take some time.
01:12:07However, there is nothing I like better than talking about myself.
01:12:11If you all had the time to spare...
01:12:12Well, I certainly am.
01:12:14I'll see you in the morning.
01:12:15This will not take long, squire.
01:12:18Dr. Bliss.
01:12:22You knew Captain Clegg.
01:12:24Is this true?
01:12:25It's hardly likely to be otherwise since it was I who told you.
01:12:28But you knew him well?
01:12:29Well, as well as any man could.
01:12:33There is a story that Clegg's wife was attacked by a mulatto
01:12:36and died in childbirth.
01:12:39Is that is true?
01:12:42And that Clegg left this mulatto to starve on the coral reef.
01:12:46We rescued him.
01:12:47This same mulatto.
01:12:50Do you think he would be likely to recognize Clegg again?
01:12:53More than likely.
01:12:55And do you agree that it would be natural for him to seek revenge?
01:12:59Of course.
01:13:00Do you remember the first night you saw him?
01:13:03Do you remember how he behaved when he saw you?
01:13:08He attacked you, didn't he?
01:13:09Why?
01:13:10Because he recognized you, Captain Clegg.
01:13:13Clegg was hanged at Rye.
01:13:14He's buried out there.
01:13:15He was never buried because he's not dead.
01:13:17Clegg's grave in the churchyard is empty.
01:13:20He was hanged, yes.
01:13:22But look.
01:13:26Look.
01:13:29Lord Jesus.
01:13:32Even your cloth can't sanctify the mark of the hangman's rope.
01:13:36Captain Clegg, I arrest you in the name of the King.
01:13:38Watson?
01:13:39Aye, Captain.
01:13:40Wait!
01:13:42You're right, Captain Collier.
01:13:44Clegg was hanged.
01:13:46At least the rope was placed around his neck and the trap was sprung.
01:13:49But he had many friends.
01:13:51The hangman was in the plot to rescue him.
01:13:53And Clegg escaped.
01:13:55But no man can stand upon the gallows without coming face to face with his soul.
01:14:00Now, on that day, truly, the old Clegg died.
01:14:03What the new Clegg has done, you all know.
01:14:05When I first came here, I found you in wretchedness and poverty,
01:14:08deprived by harsh laws and heavy taxes of the simple comforts all men have a right to expect.
01:14:15I took upon myself the task of changing all that at the expense of the revenue.
01:14:20What I did was for the good of you all.
01:14:22Take him!
01:14:23Let him go!
01:14:27I take him!
01:14:40Come on, Captain!
01:14:42On your feet!
01:14:44Come aboard!
01:15:00This way, lad!
01:15:02This way, lad!
01:15:03Come on, Captain.
01:15:05We're doing well.
01:15:06They'll never find us here.
01:15:08That's right.
01:15:09Come along now.
01:15:11We're doing fine.
01:15:23We're not beaten yet, Captain.
01:15:57Here.
01:15:59Just like old times.
01:16:00Even this.
01:16:11Just like old times.
01:16:17Mr. Mips!
01:16:20Mr. Mips!
01:16:21Mr. Mips!
01:16:41The way you go.
01:16:44The way you are.
01:16:47The way you are.
01:17:01The way you get married, you will never think of it.
01:17:03The way you are.
01:17:04There's no reason.
01:17:05No one again.
01:17:11Okay, you will never know what you are.
01:17:16Oh, my God.
01:17:42Oh, my God.
01:18:11Oh, my God.
01:18:41Oh, my God.
