:00:02
- Jones, sign him.
- Thank you, Captain.
:00:04
Tuttle, I didn't expect
to see you back so soon.
:00:07
- I'm a sailor, Captain.
- And a right good one.
:00:10
Just the kind we need on a trip like this.
Report to Mr. Pitt on the upper deck.
:00:14
Next.
:00:16
Eli Matson.
What are you doing on board here?
:00:19
Captain, if you don't mind my asking,
but I suppose after what I done...
:00:23
there ain't no place for me
on the Albatross?
:00:25
I might find a berth for you as a cabin boy.
:00:30
There's always a berth for a good man...
:00:32
particularly when he's learned
how to obey orders.
:00:34
Captain, there ain't no man on earth
I'd rather serve under.
:00:37
- I'll make it up to you. Thank you, sir.
- See you do.
:00:41
- Name?
- Samuel Kroner. Topman, First Class.
:00:45
- Age?
- 42.
:00:47
- Last vessel?
- The Dorsey, sir.
:00:48
- Papers?
- Didn't bring them with me, sir.
:00:51
I wasn't ready to sign
till I knew where you were shipping.
:00:54
You weren't?
:00:55
Don't a man have a right to know
what he's signing on for?
:00:58
Not on board this ship, he hasn't.
:01:00
My men follow without questions.
Get ashore. Next.
:01:05
And I said to myself:
:01:06
"This isn't the usual preparation.
This voyage is something different."
:01:10
That's all I could find out, Your Lordship.
:01:12
Not a man in his crew
knows where he's going.
:01:14
Kroner, Thorpe's destination
is of vital importance.
:01:17
We'll have him watched from now
until the day he sails.
:01:19
The money will be placed at your disposal
by my steward.
:01:22
Very good, Your Lordship.
:01:28
Then this pirate is free again to plunder
where he chooses, in spite of the Queen.
:01:33
Or perhaps for the Queen.
:01:36
Hereafter we shall do better
to rely on our own devices...
:01:38
than on the assurances of a clever woman.
:01:41
Surely she would not neglect
to inform her Lord Chancellor...
:01:44
of the nature
of such an important voyage?
:01:46
Her Grace did inform me...
:01:48
that Capt. Thorpe is undertaking
a trading expedition up the Nile.
:01:52
I pretended to believe her.
:01:55
Does that reassure Your Excellency?
:01:57
Forgive me, milord,
if any suspicion crossed my mind.
