:51:01
particularly when he's learned
how to obey orders.
:51:03
Captain, there ain't no man on earth
I'd rather serve under.
:51:06
- I'll make it up to you. Thank you, sir.
- See you do.
:51:10
- Name?
- Samuel Kroner. Topman, First Class.
:51:14
- Age?
- 42.
:51:16
- Last vessel?
- The Dorsey, sir.
:51:17
- Papers?
- Didn't bring them with me, sir.
:51:20
I wasn't ready to sign
till I knew where you were shipping.
:51:23
You weren't?
:51:24
Don't a man have a right to know
what he's signing on for?
:51:27
Not on board this ship, he hasn't.
:51:29
My men follow without questions.
Get ashore. Next.
:51:34
And I said to myself:
:51:35
"This isn't the usual preparation.
This voyage is something different."
:51:39
That's all I could find out, Your Lordship.
:51:41
Not a man in his crew
knows where he's going.
:51:43
Kroner, Thorpe's destination
is of vital importance.
:51:46
We'll have him watched from now
until the day he sails.
:51:48
The money will be placed at your disposal
by my steward.
:51:51
Very good, Your Lordship.
:51:57
Then this pirate is free again to plunder
where he chooses, in spite of the Queen.
:52:02
Or perhaps for the Queen.
:52:05
Hereafter we shall do better
to rely on our own devices...
:52:07
than on the assurances of a clever woman.
:52:10
Surely she would not neglect
to inform her Lord Chancellor...
:52:13
of the nature
of such an important voyage?
:52:16
Her Grace did inform me...
:52:17
that Capt. Thorpe is undertaking
a trading expedition up the Nile.
:52:21
I pretended to believe her.
:52:24
Does that reassure Your Excellency?
:52:26
Forgive me, milord,
if any suspicion crossed my mind.
:52:30
His Majesty King Phillip
has implicit confidence...
:52:32
in your loyalty to his interests.
:52:35
His Gracious Majesty and I
have an interest in common.
:52:39
A ruler friendly to Spain
on the throne of England.
:52:43
Like you, Lord Wolfingham?
:52:46
Don Alvarez, we serve others best...
:52:48
when at the same time
we serve ourselves.
