:17:01
- Dismiss the starboard watch!
- Mr. Scott-Padget...
:17:05
...will you have dinner with me?
:17:08
- Starboard watch secure.
- Thank you, sir.
:17:21
- What about the man injured today?
- Not too good.
:17:24
I may have to take the leg off.
:17:28
I'm sorry.
:17:30
Mr. Scott-Padget asked
if he can return to duty.
:17:34
- You don't like him.
- I've served with him before.
:17:38
- When?
- In the Beedle: Bad ship, that was.
:17:41
Far too much flogging.
There was a man killed.
:17:46
- Under punishment?
- Yes, sir.
:17:49
I can deal with Mr. Scott-Padget.
:17:52
Maybe, sir. Do you know what
happened to the Beedle's captain?
:17:56
The lordships of the Admiralty broke
him and his two previous captains.
:18:02
Influence?
:18:04
When somebody of enormous power
has a mistress...
:18:07
...and that mistress has a son, the
son has great influence at his back.
:18:13
- I see.
- He's a most brilliant young officer.
:18:16
A future Drake with
a vicious streak and a silver spoon.
:18:22
Sir, it could be his making.
:18:27
Good evening.
Can I offer you some Madeira?
:18:30
- Yes.
- I'll be going.
:18:32
Thank you, Mr. Goss.
:18:41
Would you like to know our orders?
:18:43
We join the fleet at Corsica,
report to Admiral Jarvis.
:18:47
Convoy duty. Orders say
"with all possible dispatch."
:18:52
We'll not put in at Gibraltar,
but you'll have time to train.
:18:57
I hope so. I'd like
to practice gunnery next week.
