1:00:00
Oh, I-I can't afford
to get mixed up in this.
1:00:03
I've told you all that I know, and--
and I've got my own estates to run.
1:00:08
Sir, the lives of three men
are at stake.
1:00:11
I'd like to speak
to this gentleman alone, please.
1:00:22
The trouble is,
New Zealand is not in the Indian Ocean.
1:00:26
There is something strange,
very strange.
1:00:28
I don't care what it is.
I've seen that man before.
1:00:31
- Oh, you're just imagining it.
- No, I'm not.
1:00:34
Anyway, I can't stand people
who look at me like that.
1:00:36
''Delightful child.''
''Gallant father.''
1:00:39
Perhaps it's a good sign that neither
of you take to him...
1:00:41
because it seems that everything else
that you've welcomed with open arms...
1:00:44
has turned out dead wrong.
1:00:52
Please understand I don't wish
to do anything against the law.
1:00:54
-Oh, certainly not.
-But at the same time, I don't intend...
1:00:56
to leave Captain Grant in the hands
of those bloodthirsty cannibals.
1:00:59
So, uh, I appeal
to you as a man with experience...
1:01:02
and knowledge of local conditions
to help us before it's too late.
1:01:06
All right. I'll gather up some men
who know the Maoris...
1:01:09
and who can
handle any kind of situation.
1:01:11
By Jove, you mean we just, uh, go in
and have it out with them?
1:01:14
Oh, good heavens, no. We'll
take along some supplies to barter...
1:01:17
and then if Captain Grant and his men
are still alive, we'll buy them back.
1:01:20
Capital idea. I can't tell you
how grateful I am to you.
1:01:23
- I need hardly remind you that we must
be discreet about what we plan to do.
- Ooh, of course, of course.
1:01:28
- Don't want to be tied down
by a lot of confounded red tape, do we?
- No.
1:01:30
Just my son John and Captain Mangles.
Otherwise, not a word to a soul.
1:01:35
Yes, just as it should be.
1:01:39
Get this crate down
in the hull, would ya, lads?
1:01:45
Motley looking lot of fellows
you've got together.
1:01:49
Well, when you look for men
to go into Maori country...
1:01:51
you don't choose them
from among the socially elite.
1:01:54
Jolly well put.
But I must say, I didn't realize
you'd require quite so much merchandise.
1:01:59
Ooh, I'm afraid the days are gone
when one could impress the natives
with a handful of colored beads.
