Two hundred pounds and a captaincy
for you if you find her for me.
:27:08
Sir!
:27:17
- Any difficulties?
- Nothing unusual.
:27:19
Here. Step down
into the carriage.
:27:21
- Will you take the reins?
- Aye.
:27:24

:27:28
What is your name anyway, slave?
:27:30
Shaw. William Shaw.
Dr. Shaw, actually.
:27:33
Slave, l'm about
to show you something.
:27:37
Reveal it to any other man, and you
will wish you were back at Port Royal...
:27:40
with your head on the block
and the ax in the air.
:27:43
Thank you,
but l've seen one before.
:27:53
What is this? A pigskin?
:27:56
Translate what is written there.
:27:59
Let's discuss terms first.
l do so, and you set me free.
:28:10
That's tender.
:28:12
lt's about to become more tender.
:28:16
They're backwards.
:28:19
l assure you, ma'am,

:28:21
No, the words.
They're written backwards.
:28:24
Look. Can you see?
:28:26
''Cliffs of blood.''
Bless me.
:28:29
You're right.
:28:33
You tell Mr. Squeakum's that l will
send him a new chapter every month.
:28:37
- Now, what's this all about?
- He's a great admirer of your books.
:28:42
That makes me happy.
Which books has he read? Did he mention?
:28:46
His Excellency Governor Ainslee,
John Reed, the author...
:28:50
currently
the chronicler of piracy.
:28:52
Step up, sir. Always a pleasure
to meet a literary man.
:28:56
- l'd just as soon walk.
- l insist.
:28:59
l can do that, you know.
