Beats
259 beats in sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model.

- 1:02 Madagascar. For centuries, the bloodiest cockpit of all the seas. Where the infamous Brotherhood of the Damned waited to plunder the treasure-laden galleons from India and Cathay, then returned drunk with slaughter to their pirate stronghold of last hope.
- 1:32 of all was Captain William Kidd. He encountered the great London Galleon, the Twelve Apostles, commanded by Admiral Lord Blaine, and approaching unsuspected in the guise of a peaceful merchant,
- 1:44 By a sudden, treacherous salvo, he reduced her to a burning hulk.
- 1:48 When night fell, the Twelve Apostles was only a blazing funeral pyre on the placid surface of a Madagascar lagoon.
- 1:57 that me there's a pretty sight we produce do when the fire reaches the magazine capital really long lots of stout semen among them they've been with us a long time we can none of us live forever mr. Boyle dead men don't talk man your own we got this job to do before high tide
- 2:57 There. And dig fast. If the tide catches there, it'll save the King's hangman some rough.
- 3:21 There you are. Deep enough to bury a man in. Give us a hand, man.
- 3:27 All ready, Captain. Down she goes.
- 3:37 What are you waiting for? Well, Captain, that chest's been in your cabin a longish time. And we all thought as how it wouldn't do no harm to open up that chest and make sure that what was in it then is in it now. I suppose you remember what was in it.
- 3:51 I remember an emerald necklace that came off that porticase ship, El Vengar. And all those pearls that we took from the big ship, the Virgin Queen. I remember a diamond medaglia we got from that Moorish canyon off Madagascar. And could we ever forget that silver casket with the arms of Lord Blaine that you claimed to yourself after the taking of the Twelve Apostles, sir? Yes.
- 4:12 Your neck will be stretched as long as your memory one of these days.
- 4:33 Satisfied? Gallows? Meat? Put them back. Come on.
- 4:39 Lower away.
- 5:10 What's the matter? Wait a minute, Captain. There's something else you've forgotten. What do you want now? We've got but half an hour before the tide traps us. That's as may be, sir.
- 5:19 We're all equal in this, I take it.
- 5:20 A cool shares, yes. Well, that key, then, what you put back in your belt.
- 5:25 That goes down with the chest.
- 5:26 Must be starts all clear or no favors.
- 5:30 If some of us don't get back, it'll be that much easier open for them as does. Question me on it again, would you? I'll rip you from belly to chime.
- 5:51 Come on.

- 5:59 Are we such callous rascals?

- 6:16 And Avarice?

- 6:58 The gentleman's a gentleman, he's a gentleman. That's all there is to it, sir.
- 7:02 I'm one of nature's gentlemen, but I need polish, my good men.
- 7:06 If I'm to improve myself... The gentleman employs the terminology, my good man, only when addressing lower servants.
- 7:12 Or is inferior, sir?
- 7:14 You see?
- 7:15 That's why I need you.
- 7:17 My upbringing...
- 7:20 The gentleman never sucks his teeth, sir.
- 7:22 Many a man's social career has been ruined by lesser.
- 7:25 You seem to know your business.
- 7:27 I want the best mind and I can pay for it.
- 7:30 Hundred quid a year.
- 7:32 An infallible mark of a person of quality is his reluctance to pay his domestics high wages.
- 7:38 Don't say so. Merely an idiosyncrasy of good breeding, sir.
- 7:42 All right.
- 7:44 Sixty...
- 7:45 Quiddah you then?
- 7:47 You realize I've never been on board a ship before, sir.
- 7:50 I don't let that frighten you.
- 7:52 To the continent.
- 7:53 In fact, since I was a nipper,
- 7:55 Have had rather an adventurous inclination toward life on the bound in man.
- 8:00 It should be quite educational, son. Yes.
- 8:02 You'll learn a lot, no doubt.
- 8:04 Is it a bargain then?
- 8:06 Very well, sir.
- 8:08 My hand on it?
- 8:11 Oh.
- 8:56 Oh, my God.
- 9:02 Then, it is your proposal
- 9:05 My Lord Bellarmine, that Captain Kidd, sailed to meet our ambassador, Lord Falsworth, and give him safe convoy through the parrot waters of Madagascar.
- 9:14 May I please your majesty? Yes.
- 9:18 That needs a bold and adventurous man.
- 9:22 Bring in this Captain Pid while we take the measure of him.
- 9:25 Hmm.
- 9:30 Captain William Gates.
- 9:41 Your Royal Majesty.
- 9:44 The Noble Road.
- 9:48 Belmont.
- 9:49 Is this your roaring killer of Spanish buccaneers? Me, my lad.
- 9:55 I am only a peaceful shipmaster who must do trade with other ships without inquiring too closely about their business. And it was so I fell into the hands of the Twelve Apostles, a king's ship turned pirate.
- 10:06 In Madagascar waters? I have never been in Madagascar waters, Your Grace. It was off the southern tip of Africa where I had gone to trade in elephants' teeth.
- 10:17 Who commanded her?
- 10:19 One of your admirals, Your Majesty.
- 10:22 Name of Lord Blaine.
- 10:24 He did turn parody. He did.
- 10:26 Sufficiently, my lads.
- 10:28 To put fear...
- 10:29 in honest traitors like myself.
- 10:33 And if you are successful in this voyage, Captain...
- 10:36 What reward do you expect?
- 10:38 may it please your majesty having forfeited me honor in that i was forced to strike me colors to a pirate
- 10:43 I want no reward but to regain it in the service.
- 10:47 of your majesty.
- 10:48 Unless it be, or is it true that Lord Blaine's lands are restricted and his title forfeit?
- 10:56 Yes.
- 10:58 All I ask is that if I lay this renegade nobleman by the heels...
- 11:04 is that you honor
- 11:06 The humble self.
- 11:08 with his castle and his land.
- 11:13 Is that all you want?
- 11:15 Captain Kidd.
- 11:16 Not a pardon more, Your Majesty.
- 11:19 Hmm, with fellow treats of a title so lightly, he must be bursting with noble blood.
- 11:25 Though I confess he keeps it well hid.
- 11:27 Aye, sir. You can no more judge of a man by his appearance than you can judge the extent of a nobleman's brains by the expensiveness of his wing.
- 11:38 Am I to suppose that the captain of the Kingsguard would deign defense
- 11:42 with me?
- 11:50 Come, Captain.
- 11:51 Is your courage less than your wit?
- 11:54 Nice, sir.
- 11:55 I know nothing of...
- 11:57 Hence.
- 11:58 You must come at me.
- 12:01 quickly as though you'd kill me.
- 12:03 Very well, then.
- 12:04 I'm sorry.
- 12:09 If I ask pardon, sire...
- 12:10 I'm a hothead when roused. I only meant to demonstrate.
- 12:13 And for good purpose, Captain.
- 12:21 Your Majesty is satisfied with the captain of our choosing?
- 12:25 I can think of none better.
- 12:31 And now, Captain.
- 12:33 The main mission of your cruise will be to meet a great ship.
- 12:37 The Quida merchant, which is sailing from India with vast treasures,
- 12:41 and to give her safe conduct.
- 12:43 in my name,
- 12:44 Past the pirate waters of Madagascar.
- 12:47 But your majesty, will her commander accept me letter of mark as sufficient authority to... You shall have a letter to our ambassador, Lord Falsworth, who is returning in her...
- 12:56 But he is to accept your protection.
- 12:58 and to submit to all matters pertaining to the safety of the ship.
- 13:04 And her treasure saw it.
- 13:06 How are you?
- 13:08 And now, sire...
- 13:10 Me crew.
- 13:11 Your crew?
- 13:12 Captain Kidd wishes to recruit a crew from the Pirates
- 13:16 and now under capital sentence,
- 13:18 in Newgate,
- 13:19 and the marshal seat.
- 13:21 The crew of condemned pirates?
- 13:23 Aye, sir.
- 13:25 There's none would be so loyal.
- 13:27 nor fight so desperate
- 13:29 as cutthroats under sentence of death,
- 13:32 If they knew that at the end of the voyage...
- 13:35 A royal pardon would be in their pockets.
- 13:39 that I shall hold you accountable for their good conduct.
- 13:43 Between their conduct and mine, Your Majesty.
- 13:45 There will be little to choose.
- 13:47 And now, goodbye.
- 13:51 And Godspeed, you.
- 13:54 I am but his...
- 13:55 Unworthy sparrow.
- 14:27 I'd rather eat the billed scum from an African slaver. Madam, don't let that temper get you the mash again. If I must hang, I'll hang. But I'll go to the gallows with clean guts at least. Hey, you! What kind of stinking maggots meat is this? Waters! Waters! There's that dainty-come mercy complaining about the taste of the king's bounty again. Just watch it. Bounty! Bounty me I! The king's allowance is thrumper today for food, not muck from the sewers of Whitechapel!
- 14:56 Making trouble again, eh, Mercy? I'm asking only what the man's legally entitled to.
- 15:01 Here, smell this!
- 15:04 Delicious.
- 15:21 Hey, your governor!
- 15:22 What sort of a kingdom is this?
- 15:24 Where a man's condemned before he's heard and stalled before they hang it.
- 15:28 Who's that quarrelsome fella?
- 15:30 Out of mercy, he was taken in a power chip by His Majesty's frigate Wasp.
- 15:34 He's always escaping, so that's why we keep him in chains.
- 15:37 He's got a lacing of tiger's blood in him.
- 15:42 Poo.
- 15:44 There's not exactly a flower garden, is there?
- 15:46 Oh forgive me governor these are two of me officers mr. Boyle governor Landers I
- 15:51 Mr. Lorenzo, Governor Larders.
- 15:55 Spanish blood. A pretty lot of sinners.
- 15:59 Captain.
- 16:00 Do you think that he's anyone down there knows us?
- 16:03 I hope not. Governor, would you be good enough to tell them what we're here for?
- 16:08 Give heed, you, you.
- 16:10 Vermin.
- 16:11 Here's news to your advantage. Is the hang on that den? Out with the den, Jack Mastiffes? Is it such a mother's turn into an honest woman? Silence, you mutinous dogs.
- 16:22 If another man speaks, I'll trice him up by the thumbs and play him raw.
- 16:28 Governor...
- 16:29 Is that the way to win the love of these unfortunate gentlemen? Gentlemen.
- 16:34 Now then, me bullies...
- 16:36 Would you rather do the gallows dance? No.
- 16:39 And hang in chains till the crows pick your eyes from your rotting skulls.
- 16:44 Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?
- 16:50 I'm a vessel, the Adventure Gary.
- 16:54 And the Kings commissioned a sailor.
- 16:57 And for those who show a loyal and a stout heart,
- 17:01 There's a royal pardon in the offing.
- 17:03 Which of you knows the waters of Madagascar?
- 17:10 I do!
- 17:12 Would you have him unlocked, governor?
- 17:16 What happened?
- 17:17 Unlock him!
- 17:19 Look you then
- 17:23 I want men with iron in their blood
- 17:25 and stealing their sinews.
- 17:27 And the first up here is the first ten listings.
- 17:30 Governor, if your waters are ready, would you be good enough to have them lower the ropes?
- 17:34 Lower away!
- 17:52 Here they come. Make ready, lads.
- 18:05 Another one now.
- 18:14 Excellent.
- 18:28 Excellent. Come on.
- 18:35 He's a shaft, though. He's a shaft. Regardless of the fact that I'm your captain, you will always address a gentleman as sirs. Come. Aye, sir. Make your mark.
- 18:53 On board.
- 18:55 Dame Adam, where's this, sir? Oh, sir, it's you.
- 19:01 Mercy, that's a comical handle for a blade of fortune. Mercy.
- 19:05 It's also something the world needs more of. Fire and death of philosopher, you speak culture. Were you by any chance stable boy to a noble house? Perhaps. I was also master gunner to a buccaneer you may have heard of, Captain Avery.
- 19:21 Avery's master gunner.
- 19:26 We've need of a master gunner, Mr. Boyle, and from what I've heard, Avery was a shrewd hand at picking them.
- 19:32 The bird's yours for as long as you can handle it. I can handle it. Swivel gun along, Tom. I'll forward a guinea for every miss. You'll forward your neck if you miss while you're on my ship.
- 19:44 Make your mark.
- 19:49 And you can write.
- 19:50 We'll give you a nice bar. Then you draw a uniform befitting the Master Gunner. On board.
- 20:00 - Name? - Name? - Bartholomew Blivens, sir. - Bartholomew Blivens. Make your mark.
- 20:17 There's no mask for a treacherous heart like an honest face. You keep an eye on him.
- 20:23 *crickets*
- 20:25 Come below.
- 20:34 Oh, boy. He's over there, sir.
- 21:04 - Thanks, man. That's all, sir. Our compliment's full. - Is it?
- 21:12 Oh, man.
- 21:14 I thought you... Yes, you thought I was dead.
- 21:31 I can hardly believe my eyes. You mean you don't want to believe? Come, come, Mr. Povey. Is that kind or is that fair? As fair as what you did that day you abandoned me under the Hamer Reef. If you please, Mr. Povey, it is not the time to talk about that. Oh, it's the time, all right.
- 21:48 I know. In which case, your present voyage is over before it's begun.
- 21:54 Now, now, now, now, Povey. Mr. Boyle, would you take over, please? Mr. Lorenzo, take the deck watch. Come to my cabin.
- 22:30 Come on.
- 22:31 Hmm.
- 22:33 I'm going to go.
- 22:38 My heart bleeds when I think of one of your delicate constitution having to fend for yourself on a coral reef, Mr. Bowman. Come on, sir, Captain. Come on.
- 22:51 I know why you marooned me.
- 22:54 So there'd be only three of you to share instead of four.
- 22:57 It's true.
- 22:58 A hostile wind did blow us away from your reef. Between friends, we might have sailed back again, but we did exactly what you would have done, Mr. Povey. So no more of your sentimental nonsense, please.
- 23:13 Now that we are a fort again, what then?
- 23:17 We're not for...
- 23:20 We're two.
- 23:22 Boylan Lorenzo Del Clodds.
- 23:26 Twenty thousand pounds of peace in their hands will only be spent in sinful ways.
- 23:32 And you propose to remove them from the path of temptation?
- 23:37 How?
- 23:38 A knife in the dark.
- 23:40 I'm not a violent man, Mr. Povey. I detest violence. People have such an awkward habit of getting in my way.
- 23:49 I am an ambitious man, Mr. Povey.
- 23:52 An ambitious man, if he be bold enough, can carve himself a...
- 23:57 Kingdom.
- 23:58 I'm going to be a lord, my friend.
- 24:01 And that for a commoner like myself takes a deal of money.
- 24:06 And that's why there could be too less to share.
- 24:11 before we raise old England again.
- 24:14 You cold, gut and sharp.
- 24:16 Oh.
- 24:18 A flatterer.
- 24:23 Ah, I'm glad you're back again, Mr. Palvin.
- 24:26 with no idea how gratifying it is to have a congenial soul.
- 24:31 and fight it.
- 24:32 Oh.
- 24:36 There's something I want to tell you.
- 24:38 I have left with a trusted friend in London, a sealed letter containing an exact and complete account of certain previous happenings.
- 24:46 Only to be opened in case, just in case, of course.
- 24:50 You should happen to return to England without me.
- 24:52 Of course, my dear fellow. Hello.
- 24:56 Very sensible of you.
- 24:58 Now I know you have a...
- 25:01 Happy voyage.
- 25:03 I shall too.
- 25:15 Oh.
- 25:16 I look up me quarters.
- 25:30 I
- 25:35 Come on.
- 26:03 Come on.
- 26:29 *Humming*
- 26:41 We are two of the luckiest men alive. Just think. We're sailing from Madagascar waters. We'll pick up the search where we left off.
- 26:51 Every officer on board has a servant. I'll request the captain to assign you to me, then we can be together.
- 27:01 Yes, I've spent a good many years of my life at sea, my lady.
- 27:06 minds a dash of salt.
- 27:08 even in a pier of the realms.
- 27:11 Like myself.
- 27:12 Now if my lady will join me in a minuet. My lady sir, not my lady. Blast me Shadwell.
- 27:20 Does one gentleman creep up on another without a cough or a spit or something to warn him?
- 27:26 I'm not a gentleman, sir. I'm a gentleman's gentleman.
- 27:34 Give me about the hair.
- 27:38 Yeah.
- 27:40 I suppose you've tried everything.
- 27:43 There's grease.
- 27:46 Prenatal influence, perhaps.
- 27:49 I
- 27:53 Didn't I say it, sir?
- 27:54 Thank you, Sherwell.
- 27:56 Pardon, sir.
- 27:58 I'll show you to your place.
- 28:07 Captain, what's all this mommery? You can forget your bilge-water manners for the time, Mr. Boyle. You are now officers on a king's ship. So a man must starve while his manners fattened.
- 28:19 I'm going to take a time to do this.
- 28:24 I know, I know.
- 28:26 And in a kingship, it is customary for the officers to rise when the captain enters. Yes.
- 28:35 but
- 28:40 Come on.
- 28:43 That's better.
- 28:44 gentlemen
- 28:46 Be seated.
- 28:52 Oh.
- 28:54 Well, well, well, what have we here?
- 29:05 I don't know.
- 29:07 Of course, but don't press me.
- 29:21 Oh, dear.
- 29:24 I know.
- 29:32 I
- 29:42 Come, Mr. Mercy.
- 29:44 Tell us something about yourself.
- 29:47 You already know what I was of consequence.
- 29:51 While under Avery, I was taken by King's ship and brought to London.
- 29:54 They always tried for a pirate and condemned.
- 29:56 You were innocent, of course.
- 30:00 No, sir, I was guilty.
- 30:02 You speak above your station.
- 30:04 How came it to go on the account?
- 30:06 Call it love of adventure?
- 30:09 Crossed in love, a scandal, perhaps a mixing of all three.
- 30:12 And you've seen something of the world?
- 30:16 Enough sighted dislike what I've seen and to know their small hope for a better.
- 30:20 Perhaps you'll prefer the next world.
- 30:22 Mr. Mercy.
- 30:24 You were close enough to it when you were in the condemned hold of Newgate.
- 30:28 But I'm keeping you from your dinner.
- 30:33 Oh
- 30:49 And now, gentlemen...
- 30:52 Toast to the king.
- 30:53 And since proposing it as the privilege of the youngest present...
- 30:57 The honor falls to Mr. Mercy.
- 31:04 Mr. Mercy, we're waiting.
- 31:06 No, sir.
- 31:07 Since I've little love for the king, I'll neither propose his health nor drink it.
- 31:11 Nevertheless, you are on a kingship.
- 31:13 Kingship of the devils, it's all the same to me, sir.
- 31:16 I owe him nothing.
- 31:18 You owe him your neck, Mr. Mercy, if it were not for his bounty.
- 31:22 You'd be dancing daintily on air at Whoppies.
- 31:26 I owe my reprieve to you, Captain. So to you, I'll drink in gladly, but not to William.
- 31:31 You stand up and drink to his majesty's health as a king's officer should or by fire and flame I'll have you shipped back to Newgate on the first vessel we speak.
- 31:48 Just the king
- 31:50 The thing about life, I'll bless him.
- 32:05 it's curious do you suppose his majesty put him on board to spy us out we found him chained to a pillar in huget
- 32:22 It wouldn't be too hard for the king to plant in there.
- 32:26 Yes, but why would he speak so openly against the king?
- 32:30 Your wits are even duller than usual, Mr. Lorenzo.
- 32:34 Have you never heard of the serpent?
- 32:36 that takes the color of its background, the better to strike...
- 32:41 Shadwell.
- 32:44 Yes, sir?
- 32:47 You have a range of high-born people and those at the court, Shadwell. Have you ever seen Mr. Mercy before? Not before this voyage, sir.
- 32:55 He's as high of spirit as a gentleman of quality. I like him. Would you find out who he is, where he comes from? As you wish, sir. Thank you, Shedwell.
- 33:27 Good night, sir. Good evening, Sharon.
- 33:31 Excuse me, sir, but you seafaring men always seem to be looking at something that I never can see. We are looking for something just over the horizon. You know, sir, I recognized you for a gentleman the moment I saw him, sir. What are you, a valet, doing at sea?
- 33:47 The captain employed me to make him socially acceptable, sir.
- 33:53 I'm afraid we are too far out for me to swim back.
- 33:57 if i can be of service to you sir did the captain send you here
- 34:01 Yes, sir.
- 34:02 Why?
- 34:03 You wanted to know who or what you are, sir?
- 34:08 Who do they think I am?
- 34:11 Possibly a spy placed on board by His Majesty. They seemed uneasy, sir. Hmm.
- 34:18 This...
- 34:19 This Captain Kidd, how long have you known him? Have you sailed with him before?
- 34:23 Oh, no, sir. All I know is he's, uh...
- 34:28 Well...
- 34:29 Among other things,
- 34:32 A merchant captain.
- 34:33 A spy, that's strange. Why should they be afraid to be spied on?
- 34:38 Good night, Chuck.
- 34:41 Good night, sir.
- 34:52 Who is he?
- 34:53 Where's he from?
- 34:55 He's a nobody, sir.
- 34:57 He was employed by persons of quality where he learned his speech and his manners. Oh.
- 35:35 It's a matter of judgment. If you fire on the up roll, the shot will go over his yard. But if you wait for the down roll, the enemy is coming up. Now watch.
- 35:53 Get ready.
- 35:57 Finish up, Mr. Mercy.
- 36:08 Can you do as well with a 74 throwing grape and canister at you? I've done it, sir.
- 36:15 reload and secure and pick up your practice on the lobber quarter swivel gun mr mercy you've sailed with Avery you must know these waters if we needed to careen and take on stores where would you recommend poverty base or it lies we draw too much water you remember Ken remember what I only know the Spanish man these Madagascar waters
- 36:40 Poverty Bay. Aye, sir. Thank you, Mr. Mercer. Come along, Mr. Boyle.
- 36:51 Good blundering ass.
- 36:55 Your presence is becoming increasingly irksome to me. Get you below.
- 37:12 Oh.
- 37:31 Oh.
- 37:33 Now let's get down to the business of this voyage.
- 37:36 Oh!
- 37:37 Hand me that chart, Mr. Boyle.
- 37:41 Copy, done. I have been thinking every day and every night.
- 37:46 What about that denaro that we buried in the cave? What good is it there? Let's get it and get it back where we can spend it. That stays where it is for a while. Why? Why?
- 37:55 We've got a fatter prize sailing right into our pockets.
- 37:59 Now, here's our present position. Here's Madagascar. Here's Caligas.
- 38:07 In June, the great galleon, the Quida merchant.
- 38:11 sales from Calicut to England. We should meet a...
- 38:16 About here.
- 38:19 She's stuck from keel to gunnels with treasure to the value of half a million pounds. And we are to give her safe...
- 38:27 Passage through the pirate
- 38:29 Seize.
- 38:31 By safe passage, you mean where to take her, Captain?
- 38:34 Now, now, now, don't be greedy, Mr. Povey. I grant that most of what's in it may find its way into our pockets, but let's be fair, the king, poor gentleman, will expect something. But however we do it...
- 38:45 It must be done.
- 38:47 Legal-like and honest.
- 38:50 Stick to ways you're familiar with...
- 38:53 Why, you pucks rattled, Bill, and I can be as honest as any man if I have the incentive. Who? Yes.
- 38:58 We launched Lane.
- 39:01 Lord Blaine's name is not to be mentioned among us, Mr. Covey. He's dead, so's his crew and so's ours, and there's none outside this cabin that knows what became of them.
- 39:12 And if you all enjoy living,
- 39:14 You will remember that.
- 39:17 Well...
- 39:19 Here's to our meeting with the Quida merchant. Quida merchant. Quida merchant. God bless her. God bless her. Dios la bendiga.
- 40:19 Wind fresh from west-northwest, sir.
- 40:22 Course, no east by east. Night dark but clear. Very well, Mr. Mercy.
- 40:31 Hmm.
- 40:33 I'm going to go.
- 40:39 hurry space are faces
- 40:45 I'm going to go.
- 40:53 I'm going to go.
- 41:27 He's dead.
- 41:28 If I find the man that's responsible for this, I'll hang him. Fish the yard and reset it.
- 41:48 What do you suppose happened? Someone's been tampering with these lines.
- 41:53 Come on.
- 42:05 Oh, my God.
- 42:05 I'm.
- 42:17 We are gathered together to bid farewell to a gallant seaman and a stout comrade.
- 42:26 Here was a man's shipmate whose heart the flinty mountains could not match.
- 42:33 Who always took better than he gave. Whose benevolence was such...
- 42:39 The orphan's might and the rich man's gold alike.
- 42:42 found refuge in his pocket.
- 42:45 A jealous providence removed him from our midst.
- 42:49 And I esteem it a privilege to commit his body to the deep.
- 42:54 We shall all mourn him.
- 42:57 Aye, we shall mourn him, but take comfort me, friends. We shall never see his like again. Rest in peace. Pop him over. Pity, Mr. Mercy, a great pity, but the ship's work must go on. Move your gear into poor Mr. Boyle's cabin. You will take his place as master.
- 43:20 As master.
- 43:23 Aye, sir.
- 43:56 Why, Shadwell.
- 44:00 Don't tell me after all this time at sea... My inward revolt is not from the movement of the vessel, sir. It's occasioned by a company idea.
- 44:09 Their manners I say nothing of, sir. But I'm a Dorsetshire man. And when I find a common shipmaster, it's the presumption to copy himself the coat of arms of one of our best Dorsetshire families. Can you wonder if I'm physically upset?
- 44:24 he copy credited or not sir the Blaincrest you certain perfectly sir pardon me sir I must join the captain is inspecting cast pickled eels with mr. Lorenzo
- 44:54 the
- 45:52 Hmm.
- 46:07 What?
- 46:11 Well, Mr. Mercy.
- 46:15 Do your new duties include robbing my desk? Shoot me, Captain, and your head goes with it. I'm here by the King's orders. So he did plant you on board. You think he'd let a man sail with a crew and you could cut throats and not keep tabs on him? And with good reason, if anything ever wreaked a piracy, this does. And murder, Captain. Boyle's death was no accident.
- 46:41 the Twelve Apostles?
- 46:44 Why the Twelve Apostles, Mr. Mercy?
- 46:49 As Blaine's ring, his name's on it, and he commanded the Twelve Apostles. That'll make interesting telling in London when we get back, Captain. If you get back. When I get back, for if I don't.
- 47:02 On the other hand... On the other hand, what? Since a man doesn't exactly grow rich in the king's pay... Oh.
- 47:11 a crooked rogue. So you have your price. How much? An equal share in what's buried here. Share that with you. I'll be hanged if I do. You'll be hanged if you don't. Of all the slummokey blackards.
- 47:30 And if you do share Mr. King's informer, what guarantee is there that you won't still turn evidence from the crown? If I go in with you, I'm equally guilty.
- 47:41 caught, we hang together, but I can keep you from being caught. What more could you ask?
- 47:50 You know, Mr. Mercy, I've wondered sometimes if ever I'd meet a more unscrupulous blackguard than myself. And I have. Well, let's be sensible about this. Who knows? We might be useful to each other
- 48:11 You've forgotten something by rain so I have I
- 48:18 I'm going to go.
- 48:31 Listen in carefully, because I want you to tell it in London if anything happens to me.
- 48:36 Kid caught me in his cabin robbing his desk.
- 48:38 I lied to him, told him I was a King's informer. Good. Yes, but he didn't believe me, not one word. He just pretended to.
- 48:44 Oh, why didn't you shoot him?
- 48:46 Then he will give us no more trouble.
- 48:48 He proved the liar I think him. King's men or no, he betrayed an uncommon interest in the Twelve Apostles. I didn't like it, Mr Lorenzo, and I mean to find out why.
- 48:59 Why, you could have charged him with robbery and turned him off at a yardarm, all legal and ship-shaped. We would have been rid of him once and for all. Let's not be impetuous, Mr. Povey. He can't leave us. Unless he swims.
- 49:10 It would be rather amusing to find out what he does. You rest easy. Leave Mr. Mercy to me.
- 49:59 Have the boatswain. Pipe to quarter. Pipe to quarter!
- 50:29 The Queen and Merchant, sure enough.
- 50:34 Can you make a round Captain Rossi?
- 50:37 Ooh.
- 50:39 She hasn't the cut of a buccaneer, Your Excellency.
- 50:43 much too tidy for that more like a kingship. Here's the lines of a merchantman.
- 50:50 Have the longboat ready and man. Longboat, stay forward! Stand by to put a shot across her bows, Mr. Mercy. Aye, sir. Number four gun crews, stand by for action!
- 51:13 She's flying the English colors. Perhaps she's our escort ship. It was about here we were to meet, wasn't it? Well, we'll make dead certain just the same.
- 51:24 Mr. Hilliard, see that all hands are at the station? Very good, sir. Very good, sir.
- 51:28 The
- 51:34 Ready?
- 51:35 Fire!
- 51:39 Well, first, Mr. Mersey...
- 51:40 I'm a Sabbath. I've got a convert. Avert is there.
- 51:55 You will come across with the long boat first.
- 51:59 convey my compliments to all officers who will dress as befitting a king ship I said
- 52:18 William kid of his majesty's private here adventure at your service sir I
- 52:23 Mr. Povey, uh, Miss Urgent,
- 52:25 Mr. Mercy, me master.
- 52:27 Mr. Lorenzo Minnabek, sir. Welcome aboard, gentlemen. Thank you.
- 52:30 I'm Captain Russell.
- 52:32 I'm Lord Falls, his majesty's ambassador to the court of the Grand Moga. Your obedience, sir.
- 52:40 I've been sent to give you convoy and we'd better make haste with our business. These are unhealthy waters for ships to be hoved to.
- 52:47 as I discovered a day or so ago.
- 52:49 You mean you cited some of the Pirate Brotherhood? More than that, sir.
- 52:54 We beat off to a...
- 52:55 Avery and Culliford out of last hope.
- 52:58 Some frederics have it here.
- 53:00 Oh stop me I nearly forgot could you spare us some powder and ball we use more than was safe during the action. Why all that you need sir and welcome.
- 53:07 Mr. Lorenzo here could attend to that then. Oh, Mr. Hilliard.
- 53:11 Take Mr. Lorenzo below and see that he gets what he wants. Aye aye, sir. Captain. Oh, sir.
- 53:33 Sent to the master gunner. He'll take care of all your needs. Uh-huh.
- 53:58 Come on.
- 54:05 Mr. Lorenzo!
- 54:14 Take this powder and put it in the longbow.
- 54:16 All right.
- 54:22 I'm sorry.
- 54:28 The gentleman, my daughter, the lady Anne Dunstan.
- 54:33 Captain Kidd.
- 54:34 Mr. Fovey, Mr. Mercy.
- 54:42 Haven't we met before? I...
- 54:45 I think not my lady.
- 54:46 You remind me of someone I've seen. I think it impossible that we could have ever met.
- 54:54 Perhaps.
- 54:58 How do we proceed now, Captain?
- 55:00 Well, I'm instructed to give you protection past Matakaska.
- 55:04 And you'll be safe as long as we sail in company.
- 55:07 But Avery will be a wolf at your heels, and if we are separated in darkness or storm,
- 55:12 And what would you advise then, sir?
- 55:16 well
- 55:18 I suppose we could take Lord Falsworth and Lady Anne aboard the adventure to Madagascar's Astern, and then if we are separated and this,
- 55:26 Vessels should be taken. What about the treasure on board? Oh.
- 55:30 One silver chest alone.
- 55:33 A present to His Majesty from the Grand Mogul.
- 55:36 Contains precious gems valued at more than a million pounds.
- 55:40 May I suggest Your Excellency?
- 55:44 Now, why not transfer the treasure chest?
- 55:46 With yourself and Lady Anne on board the adventure and...
- 55:49 till we are out of danger.
- 55:51 She's a kingship.
- 55:53 That is a great responsibility.
- 55:56 And although my instructions are that you are to trust me in all matters, I don't know if I could go so far as to. What else can we do?
- 56:05 Three of them against us, sir. Well, even two, sir.
- 56:08 He'd be hopeless.
- 56:09 It's the wisest cause.
- 56:11 I defer to your excellence.
- 56:15 And how could we inspect the chests?
- 56:17 We could have them slung into our boats along with the gear of Lord Palsworth and Lady Anne. Why, certainly.
- 56:22 Oh, this way, Captain. No trouble at all.
- 56:27 I'm going to go.
- 56:28 I'm going to go.
- 56:33 Hoist away.
- 56:41 Mr. Lovie. I sent for the manifest, Captain.
- 56:45 You may take it against the contents of this chest and...
- 56:48 Give me your receipt, if you will.
- 56:50 Glad they're glad they.
- 56:51 Oh, there you are, Mr. Lorenzo. Have you completed your business? Almost. Your people have been most kind, Capitan Roswell. There is only one detail left.
- 57:04 It will not take a minute. Finished up then, we must be gone within the hour.
- 57:09 Yes, Capitan.
- 57:12 Oh, the manifest, sir. Would you attend to that, Mr. Perry? Thank you very much, Captain.
- 57:16 Come on.
- 57:47 Oh, my God.
- 57:55 Come Mr. Lorenzo you've seen a lovely lady before this a
- 58:01 Tribute to your beautiful
- 58:04 Did you finish your business below?
- 58:07 Yes, Captain. Then we'd better be underway. Mr. Mercy, you will see Lord Palsworth and the Lady Anne into the boat. May, sir.
- 59:06 You will have the loading mr. Lorenzo
- 59:10 I apologize, my lady, for our poor accommodations, but me, Barrett Shadwell will see that you'll make comfortable. Pleasure to have your ladyship aboard. If you'll follow me, please.
- 59:19 I'm
- 59:33 Why hasn't it happened
- 1:00:34 I
- 1:00:37 Excuse me, the lady
- 1:00:41 Your father nice. I'm sorry I am
- 1:00:45 The captain has requested that you take your meals in the main cabin.
- 1:00:49 Oh, no, Shadwell, I can't bear to face those men.
- 1:00:51 I can.
- 1:00:53 I quite understand, m'lady.
- 1:00:55 But the captain's orders are ordered.
- 1:00:57 Chadwell, you must tell me there's no one else I can trust.
- 1:01:01 But what can I do, milady?
- 1:01:03 I'm only a servant.
- 1:01:04 Where can I turn? I'm so confused and frightened. I...
- 1:01:10 He and my father and the others lost back there.
- 1:01:16 And on this ship wherever I go, those horrible, staring men...
- 1:01:20 That Lorenzo who was always standing behind me, beside me.
- 1:01:25 Last night there was a tapping on the door.
- 1:01:27 When I opened it, there he was, that evil smiling face of his.
- 1:01:32 Well, you might better be along with those pirates you fought a few days ago.
- 1:01:37 Pirates, Mulaney.
- 1:01:40 We fought no pirates.
- 1:01:43 My father said Captain Kitto.
- 1:01:50 Shadwell, what manner of ship is this?
- 1:01:58 My father was killed deliberately, I'm sure of it.
- 1:02:02 That's why I can't bear to face you, Captain. I'd accuse him of...
- 1:02:08 There is a man on board milady I
- 1:02:10 A gentleman.
- 1:02:12 whom I know you can trust.
- 1:02:14 Mr. Mercy?
- 1:02:16 Yes, my lady.
- 1:02:17 Chadwell, I know I've met or seen him before, no matter how he denies.
- 1:02:23 His name isn't Mercy, but...
- 1:02:27 Yes.
- 1:02:27 All I really know is, milady, he's no friend of the captain's. Perhaps if I ask him, he'll...
- 1:02:34 Shall I? Oh, yes, will you please?
- 1:02:37 Yes, ma'am.
- 1:02:39 I'm going to go.
- 1:02:41 I'm going to go.
- 1:02:45 Come on.
- 1:02:50 I am asking you again very nice
- 1:02:52 My dear Capitan...
- 1:02:54 Your fancy manners do not impress me, Mr. Lorenzo.
- 1:03:00 When do we divide the gold?
- 1:03:02 In London, not before.
- 1:03:04 Mm-hmm.
- 1:03:06 Then look, Capitan...
- 1:03:08 I would make a bargain with you.
- 1:03:10 A bargain? Everybody wants to bargain with me, you and Mercy.
- 1:03:14 Father and father, what do you think I am?
- 1:03:16 stinking sausage merchant.
- 1:03:18 What kind of argument?
- 1:03:20 The girl.
- 1:03:23 All my life I have dreamed of a beautiful woman like that
- 1:03:29 Give me half of my dinero now.
- 1:03:30 And you can split the rest between you.
- 1:03:33 If you will let me have her.
- 1:03:35 Fie on him.
- 1:03:38 He smit with love again.
- 1:03:41 I want her.
- 1:03:43 And I am going to take her.
- 1:03:46 whether I like it or not.
- 1:03:50 Uh-huh.
- 1:03:53 With all this treasure on board,
- 1:03:56 The crew is like a barrel of hot gunpowder.
- 1:04:00 All that is needed is a word in the right ears.
- 1:04:04 Do you mean near me?
- 1:04:06 You're a witness.
- 1:04:09 He's inciting the crew to mutiny. No, no, no, no, no, it can't be done.
- 1:04:15 I was only joking.
- 1:04:17 You have a very nasty way of choking Mr. Irwin's hand.
- 1:04:21 As for the girl, I have my own plans for her and they do not include you.
- 1:04:26 Get out.
- 1:04:56 I'm going to go.
- 1:05:01 - Where is it?
- 1:05:04 Adam, where's the...
- 1:05:07 I'm going to go
- 1:05:09 I'm going to go.
- 1:05:30 Thank you for coming, Mr. Mercy. I'm... My name's Adam Green.
- 1:05:36 Son of Lord bless.
- 1:05:39 I knew it. I knew it. What were you doing on this ship? My father was killed and accused of piracy. A few people believed Lord Blaine. The king did. That's why I went to see him turn pirate three years ago. That's why I won this ship.
- 1:05:52 I knew that someday I'd come upon the truth.
- 1:05:55 - I need you in hell.
- 1:06:00 Captain kid who killed your father one
- 1:06:04 Adam, I'm no fool.
- 1:06:06 He did the same thing to my father.
- 1:06:10 - What's your?
- 1:06:11 It's taken me three years to track him down.
- 1:06:14 three years of degradation.
- 1:06:16 Now I've got him where I want him to lose it.
- 1:06:19 You mean he knows who you are?
- 1:06:21 He knows something.
- 1:06:23 That's why you didn't admit to me who you were. Why you were avoiding me. Your kid knows we shared this. He'd kill you with as little compunction as he means to kill me.
- 1:06:30 Goodbye, Lenny.
- 1:06:33 What can I do to help them? There must be something.
- 1:06:38 Forget everything you've seen on the ship. Play up to him.
- 1:06:40 Befriend me. That way you'll be safe. Now, when you get back to London...
- 1:06:44 No matter what has happened to me, go to the lords of admiralty and the king.
- 1:06:48 You'll be doing me a great service as well as yourself.
- 1:06:52 I will add to my promise.
- 1:06:56 You're going to have trouble with Lorenzo. The reading of the lambs is exciting the tiger. His blood's getting too rich for him. He'd be the better for bleeding. Things are getting a bit complicated, my lord. The king may accept the elimination of the Queen of Merchant as an accident. Maybe even the sudden demise of Lord Balsworth. But what about the reading?
- 1:07:19 He said you had plans for her. Do they include... Mr. Povey, the little dears is psyched with me as if she was me daughter. Yes.
- 1:07:25 My passion's power and gold. Since she suspects nothing, I deliver her to his majesty on with his share of the queen of merchants' goods...
- 1:07:35 or weep appropriately over the untimely demise of Herb Parr,
- 1:07:45 Lord if you will but that's what I'll have
- 1:07:49 And neither man nor devil shall stop me.
- 1:07:52 I'm going to go.
- 1:07:59 Sarah? Signorita, Milady.
- 1:08:03 You'll not be alarmed.
- 1:08:06 Now that she knows who I am and the kind of a ship she's on, I think we can count on to keep ahead. You stay here till I come home. Watch.
- 1:08:17 Help!
- 1:08:20 I'm going to go.
- 1:08:50 I
- 1:09:20 Oh, my God.
- 1:09:41 Mr. Mercy, you did well to protect her.
- 1:10:18 You all right, sir? Yes, I'm all right. Look after Lady Anne.
- 1:10:25 I want you to be here.
- 1:10:28 I don't want to marry.
- 1:10:30 My medallion, it's gone.
- 1:10:32 Has the blame pressed on it?
- 1:10:35 Blaine.
- 1:10:38 Perhaps I can find a police. No. It must have come off just before Lorenzo went through the port. Shadwell, take away the end to her cabin. Oh, please, Adam. I can't go in there. You must, Anne. This is serious. It involves you. Remember, no matter what tricks he tries, you've never seen me before and you don't know who I am. Shadwell, I think. Well, don't worry about me, Shadwell.
- 1:10:56 He never could get anything out of me, and he never will. It's the only way you'll be safe. Shadwell will watch out for you. What about you, Adam? What will he do? The same thing he's done to the others, if he gets a chance.
- 1:11:08 Oh, Anne. Don't worry, Anne. I at least know what to expect. Go now.
- 1:11:14 Shadwell, if anything does happen, remember you to stand by Lady Anne and see that she gets safely to London. I'll stake my life on it, sir.
- 1:11:20 I know you will.
- 1:11:22 Be careful Adam
- 1:11:24 Please be careful.
- 1:11:28 Come the lady
- 1:11:45 He's now King's Man.
- 1:11:47 Who is he then?
- 1:11:49 Tomorrow we put into the lagoon for water, and while the crew's getting it on board, you and me and Mr. Mercy's going to the cave. You are taking him there?
- 1:11:58 I've a peculiar humor to watch my clever young friends fizz when we dig out that shit.
- 1:12:04 Sweet dreams.
- 1:13:10 Oh, my God.
- 1:13:37 Big pass, Mr. Messy, you haven't got forever.
- 1:13:44 Who might this be?
- 1:13:48 Perhaps a man that asked too many questions...
- 1:13:50 I'm in our Mr. Mercy you come on something.
- 1:14:16 So it was the Twelve Apostles, eh, Captain?
- 1:14:18 Yes, it was, Mr. Mercy.
- 1:14:23 Open it up.
- 1:14:50 Blames.
- 1:14:52 Blames.
- 1:14:56 He was a brave seaman, but foolish. Did you happen to know him, Mr. Persson? I'd heard of him. I thought perhaps you had.
- 1:15:08 This is yours.
- 1:15:13 Is it?
- 1:15:15 I, uh, traded a ring for it.
- 1:15:18 One of Avery's men. Yes. When I encountered Lord Blaine at sea, I did my simple duty as a loyal subject. A pity he turned pirate and traitor to his king. Liar!
- 1:16:19 He's made for the sharks now, Mr. Povey. Time closes this place in half an hour. We've nothing more to fear. Yes, you have, Captain. Really have. It's a long voyage home, Mr. Povey. And anything might happen.
- 1:16:41 Naturally, her ladyship is still very distressed. In the midst of life, we are in death, Shadwell.
- 1:16:48 My heart bleeds. My heart, sir. My heart bleeds.
- 1:16:58 Confound you, Shadwell. You drove the thought right out of me, Ed. And it was an uncommon pretty one. I'm sure of that, sir. Got her at once. Tell her she can't mourn forever and I shall expect her to take her meals in the main cabin with the rest of us. Very well, sir.
- 1:17:18 He returned just in time to see him go over the edge. Searched for an hour. Never came up. Well, here's to him. Whenever he is. You feeling ill?
- 1:17:34 Yes, sir. I'll go to my cabin with your permission. If you wish, it's been quite a trying voyage. What with one little thing and another would bear up. He'll soon be home again.
- 1:17:48 I warned Adam not to go. No one could have stopped him. It was cold-blooded, planned, delivered. The same will happen to our ladyship unless we can...
- 1:18:48 Well, Kidd doesn't suspect you. Tell Lady Anne to get some things together, and when the coast is clear, you come back for me. Yes, sir.
- 1:19:04 I'm
- 1:19:10 Bowser!
- 1:19:11 Aye, sir. Round out both watchers at daybreak. We're waiting on the morning tide.
- 1:19:16 I, sir.
- 1:19:18 I'm going to go.
- 1:19:36 Kidd doesn't suspect Shaggold. He's staying on board and he'll be evidence for us in London.
- 1:19:40 Watson, a small boat, no more to stand near Roar Shore.
- 1:19:44 Then where, Adam?
- 1:19:45 Two days journey overland is the power town of last hope.
- 1:19:47 It's the most lawless place on earth, but I have friends there.
- 1:19:50 Somehow they'll find us a ship for England.
- 1:19:52 England.
- 1:19:53 How?
- 1:19:54 Come on.
- 1:20:09 Oh
- 1:20:11 Get down on the bow.
- 1:20:21 Goodbye, Freddy.
- 1:20:34 See the name
- 1:20:36 Who's in that boat now? Come on.
- 1:21:21 Quiet!
- 1:21:25 Handle on, Boots!
- 1:21:36 What?
- 1:21:39 What?
- 1:21:43 Hold on to me.
- 1:21:44 Take her away.
- 1:22:14 Hey, Jerry the mackerel. He's gone too. I guess that's the end of it, may Captain? Ah, good riddance. Back to the ship, boys.
- 1:22:50 If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, my friend, forget it.
- 1:22:55 There's a little matter of a litter I left in London.
- 1:22:58 Spoilsport.
- 1:23:01 Huh?
- 1:23:02 No.
- 1:23:03 Come on.
- 1:23:04 - Yes.
- 1:23:07 Oh, my God.
- 1:23:08 Oh, my God.
- 1:23:57 Captain William Kidd.
- 1:24:09 Greetings, Captain.
- 1:24:11 What news have you brought me from the Indian seas?
- 1:24:14 By your leave, Your Majesty, both good and ill, but mostly very good indeed.
- 1:24:18 I returned by way of the American colonies, sire. So I understood. With the main points of your voyage, I am familiar. Yes.
- 1:24:27 I wonder if you can enlighten me.
- 1:24:30 about the affair of the Queen's godchild, Lady Anne Dunstan, and your shipmaster, Mr. Mercy.
- 1:24:34 Oh, that poor impetuous fellow, sire. Enveigled that bud of innocence he did into running away with him.
- 1:24:41 and catching them red-handed in defense in the very long.
- 1:24:45 I was forced to dispatch and bone. Rest in peace.
- 1:24:52 Tell me, Captain, about the treasure.
- 1:24:54 and the Quida merchant. Unfortunate sire, most unfortunate.
- 1:25:00 We'd ship but that chest when I perceived blue.
- 1:25:04 and all souls went heavenward. Rest in peace to them, ditto. I see. And about the twelve apostles and Lord Blaine,
- 1:25:15 You encounter any trace?
- 1:25:17 Nay, sire. I can only hope that the weight of his sins sank both him and his ship.
- 1:25:23 I see.
- 1:25:26 Then how do you explain this?
- 1:25:33 Who's market be your majesty?
- 1:25:35 My opposite.
- 1:25:36 found it on your ship at Flimbers after you left for London.
- 1:25:39 It bears the Blaine crest, which I believe you are not unfamiliar.
- 1:25:43 I've always felt that Mr. Povey, Miss Surgeon, a very wily fellow indeed, was hiding something from me. Hiding it in a secret lazarette in your cabin, Captain? I hope Mr. Povey has a proper explanation, sire.
- 1:25:54 Mr. Povey was killed three days ago defending it.
- 1:25:56 With his dying oath, he swore it was not his.
- 1:25:59 Perhaps Shadwell, my valet, slipped it aboard. Might it not have come from a Madagascar cave, Captain? There's something dreadful queer about all this, you may... Enough of your lies! Look!
- 1:26:21 Nightmare!
- 1:26:22 A pity you overlooked last hope, Captain.
- 1:26:25 We stood on the headland with my friend Avery and watched you sail by. May it please, Your Majesty, I accuse this man of piracy and murder.
- 1:26:34 was ever a gentleman so misogynate lock him up in new girl
- 1:26:39 He is to be held for the next session of the court of O'Yea and Terminer. They ought to be tried for his life.
- 1:26:46 Hands up me, you coward!
- 1:26:50 All I done was to the credit and for the honor and glory of England! Yes!
- 1:26:57 So here's me bequest to them what hunts what I have hid, and to their suns suns down through the endless corridors of time. Greed that spawns murder, hatred that corrodes the soul.
- 1:27:23 ambition the foulest trumpet of all. Hey Jack, Jack Kent, sell me a bit of that rope for sixpence will ya? Save your money me lads. You can have it all for nothing if you only step up here and wear it. That ain't up here. Can't wait forever.
- 1:27:53 Captain Kidd is dead, my lord Lane.
- 1:27:55 It can't explode. Now, what manner can I atone for the injustice I worked upon your father? Yes.
- 1:28:01 Offered your first sea lord
- 1:28:04 What do you suggest?
- 1:28:05 We've a fine trigger of 50 guns.
- 1:28:08 Commission for American Water Science.
- 1:28:10 that we thought of naming the Lady Anne.
- 1:28:14 It should be a wedding gift to you from the crown. Your loyalty and service to king and country.
