-There's a battle in Port Royal harbor.
-How many ships do you make out?
1:34:04
lt's hard to see clearly in the early
morning light. I think there are two.
1:34:08
lt's an attack on Port Royal, but who?
1:34:12
Pirate craft, perhaps.
1:34:14
Wish I could make out their flags.
1:34:17
-Perhaps I can supply you the answer.
-You can?
1:34:20
Yes, if I may speak to
so inaccessible a person.
1:34:24
lf Port Royal is being attacked,
they are likely French ships.
1:34:27
French?
1:34:35
You say Port RoyaI's attacked
by the French? Why?
1:34:38
When two countries are at war
and one is attacked...
1:34:40
who would it be but the enemy?
1:34:42
What's this? France and England at war?
1:34:44
You mean you don't know? Where have
you been the past few months?
1:34:48
At sea, out of touch with the world.
1:34:49
The fire from the fortress is weakening!
1:34:53
One ship is already firing on the town!
1:34:57
That's strange.
1:34:58
Where is the English fleet
that's supposed to protect the town?
1:35:01
lt's my turn to supply the answer.
lt's out chasing pirates.
1:35:03
Bishop would never let his fleet leave its
post in time of war. He wouldn't dare.
1:35:07
Col. Bishop, if I may say,
is a very old and dear friend of mine.
1:35:11
-lt's probably me he's after.
-That fool! Blunder!
1:35:14
And me in his own front yard.
1:35:17
Shorten sail there, Wolf.
Lend a hand forward, Andy.
1:35:20
Stand by helm and keep her headed
two points to larboard of the fort.
1:35:23
Aye, aye, sir.
1:35:24
Get your men to their stations, Chester.
1:35:26
Port watch to stations!
1:35:27
Speed there, lads!
1:35:29
-Reef the fore topsail!
-Aye, aye, sir!
1:35:32
Take in the topgallant sail.
1:35:35
May I ask, Captain,
what are your intentions?
1:35:38
Lord Willoughby, I set out to land you
at Port Royal, but now....
1:35:46
Miss Bishop,
an unlooked-for circumstance...
1:35:49
prevents my landing you
on your own dock.
1:35:51
But I trust that if I put you ashore
on the beach nearby...
1:35:54
that would be equally satisfactory?
1:35:56
-l--
-Thank you.
1:35:59
Only please understand, this is a bargain...
