I thought I saw a shape. 30 00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:43,492 - Did you see it, Mr Calamy? - No, sir. 31 00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:50,229 You did the right thing, Mr Hollom.

Run out the starboard battery. 42 00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:31,267 Mr Allen, come up on the wind. Lay me alongside at pistol-shot. 43 00:09:37,444 --> 00:09:39,674 Sharpshooters to the tops, Mr Howard. 44 00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,340 Sergeant. Take your section into the main top. 45 00:09:42,449 --> 00:09:45,384 We stand tall on the quarterdeck. All of us. 46 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,489 - Mr Boyle, run up the colors. - Aye, sir. 47 00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:58,453 Note for the log, Mr Watt. "Engaged enemy frigate at six bells." 48 00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:05,563 - Straight at 'em, Mr Mowett. - Straight at 'em, sir. 49 00:10:05,672 --> 00:10:08,072 Bill. 50 00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:11,042 Leave the swords. Get the captain's silver below. 51 00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:15,171 She's not in range yet. Stand fast till she's close enough. 52 00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:19,082 - Close with him amidships. - Midships it is, sir. 53 00:10:19,753 --> 00:10:22,085 For God's sake, don't drop anything. 54 00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:28,588 Steady. 55 00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:32,222 - Hold your positions. - Hold your position. Courage, now. 56 00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:37,700 - Hold steady, boys. - Don't worry, lads, we'll serve 'em out yet. 57 00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:42,174 Mr Pullings, sir. Davies, Jemmy, get Mr Pullings below. 58 00:10:42,242 --> 00:10:43,903 Aye, sir. 59 00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:46,535 Mr Blakeney, pass the word for the captain. 60 00:10:46,613 --> 00:10:49,377 Clear the forward pin rails. 61 00:10:55,789 --> 00:10:57,416 More sand on the floor. 62 00:10:59,025 --> 00:11:01,084 On the up-roll, fire! 63 00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:15,768 Down! 64 00:11:24,751 --> 00:11:29,279 Relieving-tackles on the tiller. You men, collect these wounded. 65 00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:36,486 - Keep 'em spitting, Mr Calamy. - Aye, sir. Reload and give 'em hell. 66 00:12:02,656 --> 00:12:04,954 Sir. To the taffrail. 67 00:12:11,498 --> 00:12:14,592 The rudder's shot away. The steering don't answer. 68 00:12:14,668 --> 00:12:16,966 We're fish in a barrel. 69 00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:26,542 Why are we not firing? 70 00:12:31,017 --> 00:12:32,507 Let me through. 71 00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:35,110 Here, Joe. 72 00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:37,281 Hold it in there. 73 00:12:41,728 --> 00:12:46,722 - He's on the larboard bow, sir. - Bring up your small arms. 74 00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:52,327 Prepare to repel boarders. 75 00:12:52,405 --> 00:12:55,568 Seize your weapons and wait for the word. 76 00:12:57,677 --> 00:13:00,009 Your orders, sir? 77 00:13:00,981 --> 00:13:05,350 Call the gun crews to deck. Rig man-ropes over the stern and pull the boats in. 78 00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:08,012 Put us in that fog, Tom. 79 00:13:18,999 --> 00:13:21,524 Pull together, men. 80 00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:23,728 Pull for the fog bank. 81 00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:27,665 Run 'em out. 82 00:13:32,045 --> 00:13:33,706 Fire! 83 00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:39,042 She's opened up a seam. We need to get some oakum and pound it in. 84 00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:41,883 Joe, a mallet and some irons. 85 00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:50,024 She's gaining on us. 86 00:13:57,137 --> 00:14:01,073 - We're nearly there, boys. - Pull. 87 00:14:01,141 --> 00:14:04,372 - Reach for it, men. - We're home inside that fog. 88 00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:10,446 Fire! 89 00:14:12,052 --> 00:14:14,953 Pull for Lucky Jack. 90 00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:17,216 We've done it. 91 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,392 Pipe down. Silence on deck. 92 00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:35,433 They'll not find us in here. 93 00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:39,137 Quiet, lads. No shouts, no calls. 94 00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,335 Avast rowing. 95 00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:14,678 Well done, lads. 96 00:15:38,705 --> 00:15:42,038 Two feet six inches, sir, and holding. 97 00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:48,408 - Good work, Mr Lamb. - Thank you, sir. 98 00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:01,153 So, what's the butcher's bill? 99 00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,821 Nine dead, 27 wounded. 100 00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:14,539 Joe Plaice. 101 00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:19,943 He has a severely depressed fracture of the skull. I don't think he'll see out the night. 102 00:16:20,046 --> 00:16:22,844 Lord Blakeney. 103 00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:27,516 Just a broken arm, sir. 104 00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:31,757 You're in very good hands. 105 00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:40,057 I'm doing everything I can. I know you were close to his father. 106 00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:44,536 His father would've understood. He knew the life. His mother, however... 107 00:16:44,604 --> 00:16:48,096 Let me take a look at that brow of yours. 108 00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:50,073 What? 109 00:16:54,814 --> 00:16:57,908 Damn, he was good. Just came out of nowhere. 110 00:16:57,984 --> 00:17:03,115 Hit us with a full broadside, cut across our tail and took out our rudder. 111 00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:05,453 Damn fine gunnery. 112 00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:11,090 We only slipped away because of the fog. Quite fortunate, really. 113 00:17:11,164 --> 00:17:15,931 He may have had the weather gauge, but we had the weather gods. 114 00:17:16,970 --> 00:17:22,806 I have no idea what it is you're talking about, but he did seem to come off rather well. 115 00:17:23,743 --> 00:17:29,079 Seven weeks sailing, and he happens in darkness on our exact position. 116 00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:35,581 The French have their spies in England and elsewhere. As do we. 117 00:17:36,189 --> 00:17:38,089 Indeed. 118 00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:45,356 If he knew we were looking for him, he could have stood to sea and passed well clear. 119 00:17:45,465 --> 00:17:48,628 Well then, perhaps he was looking for us. 120 00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:17,352 If she was a frigate, then I am a Dutchman. 121 00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:20,398 It was an unfair match. There was no dishonor in it. 122 00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:22,730 She was more like a ship of the line. 123 00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:26,168 You have to wonder about her hull. Our shots wouldn't penetrate. 124 00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:28,867 Triple-shotted at 200 yards - no effect. 125 00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:32,706 She had the weather gauge and a clear advantage in firepower. 126 00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:35,372 What is the weather gauge? 127 00:18:35,481 --> 00:18:39,008 - Shall I show you again, Stephen? - Not on the cloth. 128 00:18:41,087 --> 00:18:45,217 It means she had the wind in her favor, therefore control of the engagement. 129 00:18:45,325 --> 00:18:48,658 And she had longer guns, so she could hit us beyond our range. 130 00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:52,391 The simple fact is we were soundly beaten. 131 00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:59,931 - Heavy frigate like that in the Pacific... - Could tip the war in Napoleon's favor. 132 00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:05,569 By comparison, the Surprise is a somewhat aged man-of-war. 133 00:19:09,282 --> 00:19:14,083 - Am I not correct? - Would you call me an aged man of war? 134 00:19:14,187 --> 00:19:17,520 The Surprise is not old. No one would call her old. 135 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:23,756 She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine sea boat, weatherly, stiff and fast. 136 00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:27,230 Very fast, if she's well-handled. 137 00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,427 No, she's not old. 138 00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:32,762 She's in her prime. 139 00:19:32,872 --> 00:19:37,434 We can patch up the main and mizzen. Foresail's gone, so we'll bend our spare. 140 00:19:37,543 --> 00:19:41,604 Mr Lamb is confident with basic repairs. We can get home as we are. 141 00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:44,547 We're not going home. 142 00:19:53,459 --> 00:19:57,623 But to refit we need a port, and the Acheron may be still looking for us. 143 00:19:57,730 --> 00:20:02,064 We can refit at sea. Here, where it shoals. 144 00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:08,002 As you said, she is taking the war to the South Seas. We are supposed to stop her. 145 00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:15,343 But, sir - with respect - she's a vastly heavier ship. She's out of our class. 146 00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:19,979 She could be halfway to Cape Horn by the time we're repaired. 147 00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:23,783 Well then, there's not a moment to lose. 148 00:20:42,175 --> 00:20:45,338 Is it true they put the last stitch through your nose? 149 00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:47,504 What do you mean? 150 00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:53,884 Joe said when you die, they stitch you in your hammock with the last stitch in your nose, 151 00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:57,183 just to make sure you're not asleep. 152 00:21:00,827 --> 00:21:04,285 Not through the nose. You'll tell them? 153 00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:05,447 It's all right. It's just the laudanum speaking. 154 00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:41,822 I've never seen a braver patient. 155 00:22:46,666 --> 00:22:50,727 Poor darling. Never mind, soon have you fixed up. 156 00:22:50,803 --> 00:22:52,771 I want good work now. 157 00:22:52,838 --> 00:22:57,332 I'll need two men into the starboard forechannels. Roberts, Chadwick. 158 00:22:57,443 --> 00:22:59,502 That's nice work there. 159 00:22:59,612 --> 00:23:02,911 Repair won't do here. I need these replaced. 160 00:23:09,622 --> 00:23:12,955 Mr Calamy. There's something might interest you here. 161 00:23:13,025 --> 00:23:17,621 Look. The captain carved that. When he was a mid, no more than your age. 162 00:23:17,697 --> 00:23:19,597 He's known this ship man and boy. 163 00:23:19,665 --> 00:23:24,864 He says there's enough of his blood in the woodwork for the ship to almost be a relation. 164 00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:29,203 I do understand your point. Your knowledge is beyond question. 165 00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:34,712 However, a week in the Brazilian rain forest looking for a new mast simply will not do. 166 00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:37,044 The Acheron will be halfway to China. 167 00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:42,883 Mr Lamb, as always, will do his best. Which is all I can hope to expect from any man. 168 00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:18,719 Is them his brains? 169 00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:22,692 No, that's just dried blood. Those are his brains. 170 00:24:28,034 --> 00:24:31,367 Physician, he is. Ain't one of your common surgeons. 171 00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:34,600 - Can I have the coin, please? - Sir. 172 00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:42,075 He wouldn't look at you for under ten guineas on land. 173 00:24:42,181 --> 00:24:44,342 And he knows his birds and beasts. 174 00:24:44,417 --> 00:24:47,784 You show him a beetle and he'll tell you what it's thinking. 175 00:24:47,887 --> 00:24:51,414 Back to work, you loafers. Eckhart, use your pipe. 176 00:24:51,524 --> 00:24:53,924 Let's get on with it, gentlemen. 177 00:24:54,026 --> 00:24:57,792 You're not a pennyweight of use gawpin' here. 178 00:25:04,403 --> 00:25:06,963 Still hasn't said a word, sir. 179 00:25:12,411 --> 00:25:15,403 Lord Blakeney. Feeling better? 180 00:25:15,481 --> 00:25:17,574 Much better, thank you, sir. 181 00:25:17,650 --> 00:25:19,743 Well, good. Good. 182 00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:25,750 The doctor told me you were fond of reading, so I... 183 00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:35,489 It has all of his major battles and some fine illustrations. 184 00:25:35,601 --> 00:25:37,501 Thank you, sir. 185 00:25:38,738 --> 00:25:41,298 Did you ever meet Lord Nelson, sir? 186 00:25:41,407 --> 00:25:45,104 I had the honor of serving with him. At the Nile. A great victory. 187 00:25:45,177 --> 00:25:51,275 You can find it in here, actually.

What a fascinating modern age we live in. 217 00:29:28,567 --> 00:29:32,469 Planking and framing like that would make her hull 2ft thick.

And it's leadin' us right into a trap. 410 00:48:00,244 --> 00:48:03,111 She's making a run for the Horn, sir. 411 00:48:03,181 --> 00:48:06,150 I'll not vouch for this mast.

Warley was popular. 457 00:55:29,693 --> 00:55:33,754 Have they expressed any feelings on the matter to you? 458 00:55:41,038 --> 00:55:44,064 Jack, before answering, I'm compelled to ask, 459 00:55:44,141 --> 00:55:48,271 am I speaking with my old friend or to the ship's captain? 460 00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:52,975 To the captain I'd say there's little I detest more than an informer. 461 00:55:53,083 --> 00:55:56,314 - Now you're talking like an Irishman. - I am an Irishman. 462 00:55:56,420 --> 00:55:58,445 As a friend, then. 463 00:55:58,556 --> 00:56:04,392 As a friend, I would say that I have never once doubted your abilities as a captain. 464 00:56:04,461 --> 00:56:06,395 Speak plainly, Stephen. 465 00:56:08,165 --> 00:56:12,898 Perhaps we should have turned back weeks ago. 466 00:56:12,970 --> 00:56:16,838 The men, of course they would follow Lucky Jack anywhere, 467 00:56:16,941 --> 00:56:19,171 rightfully confident of victory. 468 00:56:19,276 --> 00:56:24,908 But therein lies the problem. You're not accustomed to defeat. 469 00:56:26,450 --> 00:56:32,650 And chasing this larger, faster ship with its long guns is beginning to smack of pride. 470 00:56:32,756 --> 00:56:36,157 It's not a question of pride. It is a question of duty. 471 00:56:36,260 --> 00:56:38,694 Duty. Yes, I've heard it well spoken of. 472 00:56:38,796 --> 00:56:43,426 Be as satiric as you like. Viewing the world through a microscope is your prerogative. 473 00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:48,028 This is a ship of war. I will grind whatever grist the mill requires to fulfill my duty. 474 00:56:48,138 --> 00:56:50,504 Whatever the cost? 475 00:56:50,608 --> 00:56:52,838 Whatever the cost. 476 00:56:52,943 --> 00:56:55,707 To follow orders with no regard for cost. 477 00:56:55,813 --> 00:57:00,113 Can you really claim there's nothing personal in this call to duty? 478 00:57:00,184 --> 00:57:02,675 Orders are subject to the requirement of the service. 479 00:57:02,786 --> 00:57:09,055 My orders were to follow him as far as Brazil. I exceeded my orders a long time ago. 480 00:57:11,295 --> 00:57:13,354 Got it. 481 00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:19,892 The wind's backing, sir. 482 00:57:20,004 --> 00:57:24,031 Sir, we just can't hold this westerly course any longer. 483 00:57:24,642 --> 00:57:30,672 If we can't sail through the damn wind, Tom, we'll bloody well sail around it.

Steady. 489 00:58:26,203 --> 00:58:30,537 Clearly something nautical and fascinating just happened. I am at a loss. 490 00:58:30,607 --> 00:58:35,101 We have made our turn northward. We are headed back toward the sun. 491 00:58:35,212 --> 00:58:37,271 To the sun. 492 00:58:39,917 --> 00:58:43,546 And by way of anticipation of this event, 493 00:58:43,620 --> 00:58:49,252 I have asked Killick to prepare something special. 494 00:58:49,326 --> 00:58:53,626 - Killick.

They're said to be full of strange and wonderful beasts. 515 01:01:29,653 --> 01:01:32,747 When we get there, we'll have to stop for food and water. 516 01:01:32,823 --> 01:01:36,782 I promise you, during that time - several days at least - 517 01:01:36,894 --> 01:01:41,297 you can wander at will, collecting bugs and beetles to your heart's content. 518 01:01:41,398 --> 01:01:45,892 You'll be the first naturalist to set foot on the islands, I'll wager. 519 01:01:45,969 --> 01:01:49,336 I would like that of all things. 520 01:01:52,976 --> 01:01:56,241 - Is it an insect? - Yes. 521 01:01:58,081 --> 01:02:02,916 Doesn't look like one.

More than twice our guns and numbers. 905 01:46:38,593 --> 01:46:41,824 And they will sell their lives dearly. 906 01:46:43,664 --> 01:46:47,930 Topmen, your handling of the sheets to be lubberly and un-navylike, 907 01:46:48,002 --> 01:46:50,664 until the signal to spill the wind from our sails. 908 01:46:50,771 --> 01:46:54,172 This will bring us almost to a complete stop. 909 01:46:54,275 --> 01:46:57,870 Gun crews, you must run out and tie down in double-quick time. 910 01:46:57,979 --> 01:47:03,281 With the rear wheels removed you've gained elevation, but without recoil you can't reload. 911 01:47:03,351 --> 01:47:08,653 So, gun captains, that gives you one shot from the larboard battery. One shot only. 912 01:47:08,723 --> 01:47:13,524 You'll fire for her mainmast.
