His Majesty King Phillip
has implicit confidence...

:02:03
in your loyalty to his interests.
:02:06
His Gracious Majesty and I
have an interest in common.

:02:09
A ruler friendly to Spain
on the throne of England.

:02:14
Like you, Lord Wolfingham?
:02:17
Don Alvarez, we serve others best...
:02:19
when at the same time
we serve ourselves.

:02:32
Sure you have enough information
on these waters?

:02:34
Every bay and inlet for harboring a ship,
soundings accurate, not a reef missing.

:02:38
That's what I want.
I'll send for it on Wednesday.

:02:41
I'll have it ready for you, sir.
You can rely on me.

:02:43
I don't want any printing on the chart,
you understand? No names at all.

:02:47
No names. Very good, sir.
:02:48
- Good day.
- Good day, Capt. Thorpe.

:02:51
I'll have it ready for you Wednesday.
:03:05
- How do you do, gentlemen?
- Are you the chart maker?

:03:08
- At your service.
- I am Lord Wolfingham.

:03:11
This is Don Alvarez de Cordoba,
ambassador from King Phillip of Spain.

:03:14
I am honored, Your Excellency and milord.
:03:16
I've been boasting to His Excellency
about English chart-making.

:03:20
I'm anxious for him
to see samples of your work.

:03:22
Perhaps some charts
you are in process of making?

:03:24
Certainly, sir.
:03:25
Would His Excellency
prefer navigation charts or maps?

:03:28
The charts, please.
:03:29
My government may wish
to compare them with their own.

:03:31
Very good, sir.
:03:34
If you will notice, sir, all my charts
are drawn on the very best parchment...

:03:38
and mounted on the finest linen.
:03:40
The numbers every half-inch
along the coastline...

:03:43
indicate the depth of the ocean in fathoms
at that point.

:03:46
This is very interesting.
:03:48
I just finished that
when you gentlemen came in.

:03:50
Here is a section
of the west coast of Africa.

:03:53
You will notice it is worked out
with such detail...

:03:55
that a navigator can sail through
waters unknown with perfect safety.

:03:59
- Yes, indeed. Excellent work.
- Here are some straits.
