1:36:02
your freedom for my freedom.
1:36:04
From now on,
I no longer regard myself as a slave.
1:36:07
My life's my own...
1:36:10
even though I'm a thief and pirate.
1:36:15
Capt. Blood, are you,
an Englishman, thinking of leaving...
1:36:17
when yonder,
an English town is being taken?
1:36:20
Hagthorpe,
clear my deck and keep it cleared.
1:36:22
-Aye, Peter, we'll take care of him.
-Take your hands off!
1:36:26
-Wait, lads.
-Capt. Blood, I must talk to you.
1:36:29
Very well then, Lord Willoughby.
1:36:31
Myself, I've the honor to be Irish,
but part of my crew's English.
1:36:34
I was myself once, too, in loyalty.
1:36:36
Of what should we be thinking?
1:36:38
Of the chance to fight for your king.
1:36:40
To fight for my king?
1:36:42
Yes. He was loyal enough
to send me to seek you out...
1:36:45
to offer you pardon for your past crimes...
1:36:47
freedom from your slavery
and more than that...
1:36:50
a commission in his own navy
for you and your men.
1:36:53
You hear that, Chester?
The King wants us to join his navy!
1:37:00
Read it for yourself.
1:37:01
Lord Willoughby,
you're a guest aboard my ship...
1:37:04
and I've still some notion left me
from better days of decent behavior...
1:37:07
so I'll not be telling you
what I think of this offer.
1:37:09
All I'll say is,
I wouldn't soil my hands with it...
1:37:12
even though they're the hands
of a thief and a pirate.
1:37:15
But this concerns you, too, my lads.
1:37:18
What do you say to serving the King?
1:37:20
No!
1:37:25
I'd like to serve him with a rope necktie.
1:37:28
I'd rot before I'd serve him.
1:37:31
I'd sink this ship with all hands
before I'd serve him.
1:37:34
lt would appear then
that my crew is still a little dubious...
1:37:37
as to the merits of His Majesty's offer.
1:37:40
However you hate the King,
England is still England.
1:37:43
And a bad king is bad king,
and worse one if he's James.
1:37:46
James?
This commission is sent by King William.
1:37:50
King William? Who may King William be
and what's he king of?
1:37:54
I'm alluding to His Majesty,
King William III, William of Orange...
1:37:57
who, with Queen Mary,
has come over from the Netherlands...
