WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:25.120 A float with Henry Morgan. 00:25.120 --> 00:30.320 Henry Hunter, anxious to save Henry Morgan from sailing into a trap, goes with hero to 00:30.320 --> 00:33.080 the governor Sir Thomas Mawson. 00:33.080 --> 00:36.720 Between them they piece together what really happened on the night that the Aztec necklace 00:36.720 --> 00:37.720 was taken. 00:37.720 --> 00:42.520 Sir Thomas is anxious to know how Jeffrey became a convict. 00:42.520 --> 00:47.240 Jeffrey tells him that he was the innocent dupe of a man named Blake who later arrived 00:47.240 --> 00:51.560 as a convict at the island and who denounced him to Kitty. 00:51.560 --> 00:56.880 Sir Thomas warns both Jeffrey and Hero that he has no option but to retake them into custody 00:56.880 --> 01:01.000 and he puts them on their honor not to try to escape. 01:01.000 --> 01:07.440 Delores together with Diaz and Kitty, still a prisoner, arrives in Cuba and Diaz is well 01:07.440 --> 01:11.960 rewarded for his work and plans are made to capture Morgan. 01:11.960 --> 01:18.120 Eventually, Sir Thomas returns to Jeffrey to tell him that Blake has confessed that 01:18.120 --> 01:22.080 Jeffrey is innocent and so he is pardoned. 01:22.080 --> 01:25.520 Due to the good work Hero has done, he too has given his freedom. 01:25.520 --> 01:32.200 A sloop is about to leave Port Royal to overtake Morgan and his fleet and Sir Thomas tells 01:32.200 --> 01:35.120 Jeffrey that he is to join her. 01:35.120 --> 01:38.000 I can't express to Thomas the feelings I have. 01:38.000 --> 01:41.000 Without doubt this must be the happiest day of my life. 01:41.000 --> 01:43.360 Are you prepared to join the sloop? 01:43.360 --> 01:44.360 Join her? 01:44.360 --> 01:46.520 Why a hundred fighting men couldn't keep me away. 01:46.520 --> 01:49.480 I too don't know what to say boss. 01:49.480 --> 01:55.680 When I left my home way back in Africa, I never thought I'd see a free day again. 01:55.680 --> 01:59.920 Lord I thank you for letting the sun shine so bright. 01:59.920 --> 02:05.840 My heart is so full of happiness, my tongue is just dripping over itself. 02:05.840 --> 02:10.000 I'd like to go down on my knees and thank you for all that you've done. 02:10.000 --> 02:12.000 That will not be necessary. 02:12.000 --> 02:16.680 I realize that if you not stayed by Jeffrey Hunter and nursed him back to health, Morgan 02:16.680 --> 02:18.000 wouldn't have been warned. 02:18.000 --> 02:20.960 He's not warned yet and he has a good staff. 02:20.960 --> 02:22.720 But the sloop is fast. 02:22.720 --> 02:26.560 With the very good wind behind you, you have every chance of overtaking him. 02:26.560 --> 02:28.960 The sloop sails in an hour's time. 02:28.960 --> 02:29.960 An hour? 02:29.960 --> 02:30.960 Good. 02:30.960 --> 02:31.960 We want to waste no time. 02:31.960 --> 02:34.040 I dare say there's quite a lot you have to do. 02:34.040 --> 02:37.560 You want some money to set yourself up, some new clothes? 02:37.560 --> 02:38.560 Yes. 02:38.560 --> 02:39.920 I haven't thought of that. 02:39.920 --> 02:41.560 Well I'll give you what you need. 02:41.560 --> 02:44.600 But you better hurry, you have not much time. 02:44.600 --> 02:46.080 Thank you. 02:46.080 --> 02:47.080 Thank you very much, Sir Thomas. 02:47.080 --> 02:49.400 There's nothing to thank me for. 02:49.400 --> 02:51.200 Your case was a miscarriage of justice. 02:51.200 --> 02:55.080 You'll be compensated for the humiliation to which you've been. 02:55.080 --> 02:57.320 Hearing my name is all the compensation I want. 02:57.320 --> 03:00.720 You ain't saying goodbye to me, are you boss? 03:00.720 --> 03:04.040 I ain't got no place to go now. 03:04.040 --> 03:11.400 Freedom to an old negro like me means a lot, but it's like a new world I've been put into. 03:11.400 --> 03:13.000 I'm a bit bewildered. 03:13.000 --> 03:16.120 I don't want to say goodbye to you, Mass. 03:16.120 --> 03:17.120 Jeffrey. 03:17.120 --> 03:18.920 I ain't forgotten you saved my life. 03:18.920 --> 03:24.320 I ain't forgotten that you treated me just as if I was a white man and not just a bit 03:24.320 --> 03:31.000 of black trash and thin things I ain't never gonna forget. 03:31.000 --> 03:33.760 I don't want to say goodbye. 03:33.760 --> 03:35.720 You're going away on the ship. 03:35.720 --> 03:37.360 Maybe I'll never see you again. 03:37.360 --> 03:41.280 I'd rather be back as a slave and have you as my master. 03:41.280 --> 03:42.280 You never do, hero. 03:42.280 --> 03:45.920 And there's no reason why you shouldn't go on helping me. 03:45.920 --> 03:47.200 What do you mean by that? 03:47.200 --> 03:49.640 I had no thoughts of saying goodbye. 03:49.640 --> 03:54.080 True, I'm going away on a ship, but I took it for granted that you'd be coming with me. 03:54.080 --> 03:56.840 You want me to go with you, Master Jeffrey? 03:56.840 --> 04:01.560 Oh, Lord, I thank you for being so kind to me. 04:01.560 --> 04:04.680 Thank you for keeping me by my friend. 04:04.680 --> 04:06.800 You want me to come with you. 04:06.800 --> 04:11.880 I'm telling you, Master Jeffrey, that there's one person you ain't never gonna lose now. 04:11.880 --> 04:12.880 No sir. 04:12.880 --> 04:16.080 You're taking me away with you on the ship. 04:16.080 --> 04:17.080 Hallelujah. 04:17.080 --> 04:21.040 I go down on my knees and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 04:21.040 --> 04:23.520 Now come on, you blacks, can you wake up on your feet? 04:23.520 --> 04:24.520 None of that nonsense. 04:24.520 --> 04:26.520 Of course you're coming with me. 04:26.520 --> 04:44.720 And we'll have to move pretty fast if you want to catch that sloop. 04:44.720 --> 04:49.440 I expected when I returned, Kitty, to find you dressed in the fine clothes that I thought 04:49.440 --> 04:50.440 you... 04:50.440 --> 04:53.880 What are you doing still in those filthy rags you're wearing in Jamaica? 04:53.880 --> 04:57.840 I want none of your clothes and I want none of you, so keep your distance, dear. 04:57.840 --> 05:01.520 And they told me you had not looked over your fine house that I bought you. 05:01.520 --> 05:02.960 And I don't want to sit. 05:02.960 --> 05:05.000 I'll ask you to leave me be. 05:05.000 --> 05:11.360 Are you not forgetting, Kitty, that you are not in a position to make demands of me? 05:11.360 --> 05:15.600 In Jamaica, when you're at the Dolphin Tavern, you were a bondy servant, a little better 05:15.600 --> 05:18.960 than a slave, but here in Cuba, you're not even that. 05:18.960 --> 05:21.600 Yeah, my property. 05:21.600 --> 05:23.560 I do with you as I will. 05:23.560 --> 05:25.320 And you come near me. 05:25.320 --> 05:26.320 I hate you. 05:26.320 --> 05:30.840 I'm glad to see your spirit is not gone. 05:30.840 --> 05:34.680 I was beginning to think you had become a milk and water woman. 05:34.680 --> 05:40.040 Now, don't become that, Kitty, because if you did, then I would soon grow tired of you. 05:40.040 --> 05:42.960 And when I grow tired of you, I'll not want you about me. 05:42.960 --> 05:45.440 And then, of course, I'll have to get rid of you. 05:45.440 --> 05:52.320 For your own sake, you'd best remember, always make yourself interesting to me. 05:52.320 --> 05:53.800 Now, enough of this nonsense. 05:53.800 --> 05:57.080 Dress yourself in the fine clothes that I brought you. 05:57.080 --> 05:59.120 Appreciate the fine home you're living in. 05:59.120 --> 06:00.120 I'm a man of wealth. 06:00.120 --> 06:02.440 Now, I'm going to be a man of position. 06:02.440 --> 06:03.440 Look what I'm giving you. 06:03.440 --> 06:04.920 Don't you appreciate it? 06:04.920 --> 06:10.280 Isn't it better to be here with me than a slave in a filthy dockside tavern? 06:10.280 --> 06:13.920 I'd rather be a slave in a dockside tavern than living with you. 06:13.920 --> 06:19.920 Have you not yet learned that anger hides your beauty? 06:19.920 --> 06:23.000 It makes you glow with life. 06:23.000 --> 06:26.520 I've been a very patient man, but now my patience is at an end. 06:26.520 --> 06:28.480 Don't you come any closer to me, dear. 06:28.480 --> 06:30.080 I'll have nothing to do with you. 06:30.080 --> 06:31.960 And don't you put your hands on me. 06:31.960 --> 06:34.040 And who is there to stop me, huh? 06:34.040 --> 06:38.160 This is not the dolphin tavern, Kitty, when you can scream and have the men coming to 06:38.160 --> 06:39.160 your aid. 06:39.160 --> 06:42.440 There is no one in Cuba to help you. 06:42.440 --> 06:44.440 No one, no one at all. 06:44.440 --> 06:49.880 Open your sore, lovely throat and scream, scream loudly. 06:49.880 --> 06:53.440 It will bring you no aid from those who hear you. 06:53.440 --> 07:00.880 It will only bring to their faces an annoying smile. 07:00.880 --> 07:03.800 And Kitty knows that what he says is true. 07:03.800 --> 07:05.080 There is no one. 07:05.080 --> 07:10.440 She is helpless, as helpless as a jungle-colored butterfly which has fluttered unsuspectingly 07:10.440 --> 07:13.880 into the enmeshing, sticky strands of a spider's web. 07:13.880 --> 07:17.040 But to give without a fight is against all her nature. 07:17.040 --> 07:21.360 She is conscious of the fact that her anger has heightened her beauty, has made the hot 07:21.360 --> 07:26.080 blood pound in Deut's head, has finally burst the dam of his impatience. 07:26.080 --> 07:28.480 Her heart pounds within her. 07:28.480 --> 07:30.320 Her mouth slowly opens. 07:30.320 --> 07:34.320 Her small white teeth close over her lower lip. 07:34.320 --> 07:37.200 She looks searchingly into his face. 07:37.200 --> 07:39.160 It grows large before her eyes. 07:39.160 --> 07:41.120 Horrible, vicious, glaring. 07:41.120 --> 07:43.800 It fills the orb of her vision. 07:43.800 --> 07:47.560 Fascinated with horror, she lets him put forth his hands to grasp her. 07:47.560 --> 07:52.040 The shock of the cruel deep-digging fingers snaps the bond which paralyzed her. 07:52.040 --> 07:56.360 Like forked lightning playing around the trees, she becomes a live, squirming, fighting thing. 07:56.360 --> 08:00.600 Reserved and hidden strength, born of desperation, surges through her. 08:00.600 --> 08:21.280 But Deut's strength is even greater. 08:21.280 --> 08:27.200 A sloop noses out around the headlands of Port Royal Bay as daintily as a dancer. 08:27.200 --> 08:32.400 It skirts the reef over which the ocean's swell breaks into a feathery white surge. 08:32.400 --> 08:37.480 Quietly the steady wind fills the canvas so that the ship seems like a white cloud being 08:37.480 --> 08:40.480 strangely guided over the deep blue sea. 08:40.480 --> 08:45.360 A long, lean, narrow bow dips down to cut through the rolling sea, then rises proudly 08:45.360 --> 08:47.800 up to meet the next swell. 08:47.800 --> 08:52.440 And the coast of Jamaica steadily recedes behind the pathway of swirling wake the ship 08:52.440 --> 08:53.440 leaves. 08:53.440 --> 08:59.480 Up on deck, the trade wind plays chasing among the gold of Geoffrey's hair, gently caressing 08:59.480 --> 09:00.480 his cheek. 09:00.480 --> 09:04.920 And his eyes search wide over the expanse of sea, looking out to that point where the 09:04.920 --> 09:11.040 two blues merge to make the distinct line which is the horizon. 09:11.040 --> 09:13.280 But his happiness is clouded. 09:13.280 --> 09:23.280 The memory of her face is before him, and a trust which he didn't fulfill. 09:23.280 --> 09:26.680 But the inner voice will not be still. 09:26.680 --> 09:31.840 Kitty has showed to him that she had complete trust that he would rescue her, and now, now 09:31.840 --> 09:33.120 she's gone to a life of... 09:33.120 --> 09:34.120 But I won't think of it. 09:34.120 --> 09:36.760 I must not have her go mad. 09:36.760 --> 09:38.160 I'll think of Henry Morgan in the morning. 09:38.160 --> 09:40.040 I must give him. 09:40.040 --> 09:43.160 I pray this wind will hold and we'll be able to overtake him. 09:43.160 --> 09:46.720 And the wind does hold, and day makes way for night. 09:46.720 --> 09:51.600 Stars pop their cold centuries-old light out from their cushion of blue, deep and almost 09:51.600 --> 09:52.600 to black. 09:52.600 --> 09:56.880 Like diamonds in the hair of a raven beauty, they winkingly look down. 09:56.880 --> 10:01.800 Then their brilliance fades before the white, waxing moon which climbs from out of the sea 10:01.800 --> 10:05.120 like a Dutch cheese which has been bumped slightly out of form. 10:05.120 --> 10:11.080 As though in a new world of strange beauty, the sloop cuts through the ocean, its nightlights 10:11.080 --> 10:17.280 bobbing like fireflies, the moon reflecting in the wake, making a dancing silver lane, 10:17.280 --> 10:23.640 while the wind, gentle yet strong, fills the curved spreading canvas. 10:23.640 --> 10:27.640 Over the arch of heaven moves the lady of night, chased by coming day. 10:27.640 --> 10:33.080 Gently, she thinks to abdicate to her lord, the king of the kings of the heavens. 10:33.080 --> 10:38.200 Bright, red, and full of life, he sweeps majestically into the sky. 10:38.200 --> 10:41.080 The wind still holds steady and firm. 10:41.080 --> 10:47.600 A circle of time repeats itself again and again, till the days run into a week. 10:47.600 --> 10:51.360 Curaçao, Windward Island, Trinidad, all are passed. 10:51.360 --> 10:56.000 Faintly, the coastline of South America lurks just on the edge of the horizon like a thin, 10:56.000 --> 10:59.000 indistinct black pencil smudge. 10:59.000 --> 11:01.760 South and further south sails the sloop. 11:01.760 --> 11:06.280 It passes into that stretch of ocean which turns from depthless blue into a strange muddy 11:06.280 --> 11:12.320 brown caused by the mighty Amazon spewing forth its waters into the sea. 11:12.320 --> 11:16.080 Through the muddy waters out into the blue once again. 11:16.080 --> 11:19.560 High up in the masthead, the watch is ever searching for the small fleet which is known 11:19.560 --> 11:20.560 to lie ahead. 11:20.560 --> 11:26.640 And behind the sloop, miles and miles astern, well out of sight, sails another fleet proudly 11:26.640 --> 11:28.520 bearing the flag of Spain. 11:28.520 --> 11:31.560 But the watch is looking ahead, not astern. 11:31.560 --> 11:38.320 And then, then as the shots, there is a rush for the sails, voices jabber, fingers point, 11:38.320 --> 11:39.720 hands shield sunlight from eyes. 11:39.720 --> 11:44.720 And then away in the distance of the ships, looking small like pocket handkerchiefs, and 11:44.720 --> 11:48.760 the coast of South America begins to loom large and take shape. 11:48.760 --> 11:53.360 Cleaving through the roll as the sloop draws near and Morgan aboard the flying gow views 11:53.360 --> 11:54.360 it with suspicion. 11:54.360 --> 11:58.680 A flying English flag that were in enemy waters. 11:58.680 --> 12:01.120 Have all guns trade honor. 12:01.120 --> 12:05.520 After comes the sloop and Morgan, the glassed with eye, watches the longboat lowered and 12:05.520 --> 12:08.000 put out towards the flying gow. 12:08.000 --> 12:12.360 That man in the stern, can I believe my eyes? 12:12.360 --> 12:14.360 By St. David it is. 12:14.360 --> 12:16.360 Yes, it's Hunter. 12:16.360 --> 12:21.520 Patchai, have a guard ready to give my visitors a welcome. 12:21.520 --> 12:24.760 What game does Jeffrey Hunter think he's playing? 12:24.760 --> 12:29.640 The moment he comes aboard the flying gow, I shall see that he's placed in irons. 12:29.640 --> 12:33.000 And then Patchai, you can lock him below. 12:33.000 --> 12:41.800 I'll deal with him when I'm ready. 12:41.800 --> 12:45.400 Jeffrey Hunter had not realized that this would be his reception. 12:45.400 --> 12:49.680 It is imperative that he makes Captain Morgan listen to him and believe his story. 12:49.680 --> 13:02.560 Until they meet in the next episode of A Float with Henry Morgan.
