1:05:00
You are working yourself to death.
1:05:02
- Lucy, run along and play with David.
- Beans again? And salt pork?

1:05:06
In a place where fruit ripens
the year round,

1:05:08
- and fish come fresh from the sea?
- Abner doesn't really like it.

1:05:12
I'll listen to Abner on religion,
but not on diet.

1:05:17
You must go home, Jerusha.
1:05:18
You must go home for at least a year.
Two would be even better.

1:05:22
Otherwise, you'll die here,
you'll die young.

1:05:25
If you don't take it up
with Abner this time, I will.

1:05:28
Oh, no, John,
I will talk to him, I promise.

1:05:30
I've delayed this long because...
1:05:37
Well, about Micah. He's got a fever
and his chest is covered with spots...

1:05:41
Spots?
1:05:53
But measles is a child's disease.
I can't understand...

1:05:57
To us, it is a child's disease, Abner,
but to the Hawaiians,

1:06:00
who have developed no resistance
at all, it is a deadly pestilence.

1:06:03
The sailor who brought it ashore
1:06:05
is bound to have infected dozens
of others besides Micah.

1:06:08
Within three days, this disease
will sweep like a raging plague.

1:06:12
Their fevers will go high,
1:06:14
their deaths are agonizing
beyond all imagination.

1:06:18
Our children will come through
in good shape.

1:06:20
We can save a fair percentage
of the Hawaiian children

1:06:23
if we can separate them
from their parents.

1:06:26
The adults are another story.
1:06:29
One month from today,
one third of our population will be dead.

1:06:33
One out of four of the survivors
will develop consumption.

1:06:36
One out of 7 will be deaf,
one out of 12 will be blind.

1:06:40
I need all the help you can give me.
1:06:42
Captain Hoxworth has offered
to organize a harbor blockade.

1:06:44
The only trouble
is that many of the sailors have come...

1:06:48
What of Iliki?
1:06:49
What have you done with her?
1:06:52
I married her off
to an English consul in Santiago.

1:06:55
With what you and I together
have taught her, she'll end up a duchess.
