WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:19.120 A float with Henry Morgan. 00:19.120 --> 00:21.660 Delores has deceived everyone. 00:21.660 --> 00:25.360 No one has the slightest suspicion that she is not Antoinette de Lacy, King's woman of 00:25.360 --> 00:27.820 the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Thomas Markford. 00:27.820 --> 00:31.120 She also has seen the fabulous Aztec necklace. 00:31.120 --> 00:34.400 Kitty discovers that she is really in love with Jeffrey Hunter. 00:34.400 --> 00:37.520 She glows to the flying gull the next evening to tell him. 00:37.520 --> 00:41.600 Jeffrey who is lonely listens to her and accepts the comfort she brings. 00:41.600 --> 00:45.200 The next evening at the Dolphin Tavern, Kitty who bears the marks of a whipping given to 00:45.200 --> 00:50.120 her for leaving the tavern the previous evening, tells Diatz that she no longer loves him. 00:50.120 --> 00:54.760 Diatz threatens to steal the Aztec necklace and from the proceeds through selling it, 00:54.760 --> 00:56.760 buy Kitty for himself. 00:56.760 --> 00:58.240 No, that you couldn't do. 00:58.240 --> 01:00.040 I can and I will. 01:00.040 --> 01:04.600 You are a bondwoman, a slave sent out from England to be bought in the market places 01:04.600 --> 01:05.600 necessary. 01:05.600 --> 01:06.920 Anyone who has the price can buy you. 01:06.920 --> 01:08.480 I'll not come to you, do you hear me? 01:08.480 --> 01:12.080 You will have no choice because no matter what price for like jobs and ones for you, 01:12.080 --> 01:13.720 I'll be able to get it for the necklace. 01:13.720 --> 01:14.720 I wouldn't come. 01:14.720 --> 01:15.720 You will have no choice. 01:15.720 --> 01:20.760 By law you will be mine and that is what I would do rather than have you guard of this 01:20.760 --> 01:21.760 Englishman. 01:21.760 --> 01:26.640 And when you are mine, let me warn you that should any other man try to steal you, it 01:26.640 --> 01:30.480 is within my right to kill him because he is trying to steal my property. 01:30.480 --> 01:33.000 I can't help it if I have no feelings for you. 01:33.000 --> 01:37.520 I tried to be loyal to you but you knew I was not even successful at doing that and 01:37.520 --> 01:40.160 now I have no feelings for you at all. 01:40.160 --> 01:44.680 You thought to make a fool out of me, to make me the laughing stock of Potriles. 01:44.680 --> 01:48.160 You not think the others will chuckle in their beards when they know you are throwing me 01:48.160 --> 01:51.560 aside for this pasty-faced Englishman. 01:51.560 --> 01:56.600 You must think I'm a fool if you think I'll allow you to cast me aside like this. 01:56.600 --> 02:00.720 I'm going to keep you by possession if necessary. 02:00.720 --> 02:02.440 But I'll come to hate you. 02:02.440 --> 02:04.960 Then do not force me to do this thing. 02:04.960 --> 02:08.240 Come, let me show you how to forget this Englishman. 02:08.240 --> 02:10.240 No, I don't want you to touch me. 02:10.240 --> 02:12.840 Oh, this is such foolishness. 02:12.840 --> 02:15.880 You will let me make you forget him, eh? 02:15.880 --> 02:16.880 My wrist, my wrist. 02:16.880 --> 02:17.880 Look up into my face. 02:17.880 --> 02:18.880 You hear me? 02:18.880 --> 02:19.880 Look up. 02:19.880 --> 02:20.880 No, I will not. 02:20.880 --> 02:21.880 Leave go of me, you swine. 02:21.880 --> 02:22.880 You've no right to lay your hands on me. 02:22.880 --> 02:23.880 Help, help, you swine. 02:23.880 --> 02:28.320 Help, help, you swine. 02:28.320 --> 02:32.760 Like a hot knife cutting through ice, Kitty's scream flashes to the furthest corners of 02:32.760 --> 02:34.280 the smoke-laden tavern. 02:34.280 --> 02:36.800 It tops the babble, the oaths and coarse voices. 02:36.800 --> 02:42.160 It seems to hang suspended, cutting off all sound, and the tavern for a moment is still, 02:42.160 --> 02:44.040 unearthly quiet. 02:44.040 --> 02:47.120 Brawls and fights are no uncommon occurrences in the Dolphin Tavern. 02:47.120 --> 02:51.000 Men's voices have frequently been raised in anger and sometimes in pain. 02:51.000 --> 02:54.240 But never before have the low rafters flung back the scream of a woman. 02:54.240 --> 02:58.440 There is only one voice from which that scream could come, Kitty, the friend of all those 02:58.440 --> 03:00.800 from every corner of the Caribbean. 03:00.800 --> 03:04.160 Like a surge of an angry rising tide, the men leave their drinks, their tables and their 03:04.160 --> 03:06.920 companions and jostle to the alcove whence came the sound. 03:06.920 --> 03:07.920 Get away out of here. 03:07.920 --> 03:08.920 Leave this to me. 03:08.920 --> 03:12.280 Angrily, Diets turns towards the sullen, brutal faces of the mob. 03:12.280 --> 03:16.320 Kitty, knowing the uncertainty of their tempers, their love of a fight to the kill, prays to 03:16.320 --> 03:19.920 a patron saint that no harm will follow her foolish appeal for help. 03:19.920 --> 03:23.400 Faces become frayed as those behind jostle an elbow to force their way to the front. 03:23.400 --> 03:27.760 The crowd seems to swell and sway like an ocean sea, and then suddenly from behind, 03:27.760 --> 03:30.360 an unknown hand reaches out and grabs a bottle. 03:30.360 --> 03:34.160 It splinters its fragments behind Diets' head, the liquid spreading and running like blood 03:34.160 --> 03:35.160 on the wall. 03:35.160 --> 03:39.840 As though the bursting bottle is a secret pre-arranged signal, Bedlam breaks loose, knives 03:39.840 --> 03:44.040 are drawn, oaths and vile curses snarl upon the air, tables crash and crumble beneath 03:44.040 --> 03:45.600 the weight of fighting men. 03:45.600 --> 03:50.360 Bottles fall and smash, leaving their slippery smears upon the dirty floor. 03:50.360 --> 03:54.200 There is no reason for the fight except that the screamers loosen their lust to kill and 03:54.200 --> 03:55.200 destroy. 03:55.200 --> 03:59.800 Terrified, Kitty crouches in a corner, watching the destruction of material and men. 03:59.800 --> 04:04.080 And somewhere amongst this screaming, cursing tangle of arms and legs and bodies is Diets, 04:04.080 --> 04:07.400 for he was the first drawn into the fight. 04:07.400 --> 04:12.160 In the distance, safe from harm, stands bow-legged Jobson, alternatively wringing his hands and 04:12.160 --> 04:15.240 tearing his hair at the destruction of his tavern. 04:15.240 --> 04:19.440 Then, when there are no more tables, chairs or bottles to be broken, and only a few heads 04:19.440 --> 04:24.160 left to crack, it all stops, as suddenly as it began. 04:24.160 --> 04:29.000 And those who were able to walk go roistering out into the night, taking with them a badly 04:29.000 --> 04:32.480 beaten but still conscious Diets. 04:32.480 --> 04:37.920 Litter and complete destruction is left inside, and amongst the wreckage lie the dead and 04:37.920 --> 04:38.920 the wounded. 04:38.920 --> 04:43.560 The blood from their wounds mingles with the liquor on the floor. 04:43.560 --> 04:46.960 Tickled and shaken, unable to believe that she has not been harmed, Kitty comes from 04:46.960 --> 04:48.640 the corner. 04:48.640 --> 04:53.000 Almost bereft of speech, Bow-legged Jobson looks at her, claps his hands. 04:53.000 --> 04:56.360 Two black slaves come out from the rear of the tavern and stand beside him, their eyes 04:56.360 --> 04:58.560 wide as they stare on the carnage. 04:58.560 --> 05:01.480 You Irish witch, look what you've done! 05:01.480 --> 05:03.640 No, Mr. Jobson, it wasn't my fault! 05:03.640 --> 05:07.400 Look at the destruction, you fine heirs and graces at Ross! 05:07.400 --> 05:09.640 You were in this tavern to amuse my customers! 05:09.640 --> 05:15.560 First of all, you ran away for a night, and then you spurned them and incite them to destroy! 05:15.560 --> 05:18.920 You must be taught that you are no better than a black slave! 05:18.920 --> 05:21.240 No, not another whipping, please! 05:21.240 --> 05:26.360 The beauty of Kitty and fear would move any man, except the one whose possessions are 05:26.360 --> 05:27.520 destroyed. 05:27.520 --> 05:36.760 With a nod to the two Negroes, Jobson leaves. 05:36.760 --> 05:41.800 In the small square box-lidded rubbish-filled yard at the back of the Dolphin Tavern, the 05:41.800 --> 05:47.400 flaming torches stuck in brackets around the stone walls cast a yellow swinging light over 05:47.400 --> 05:49.200 a barbaric scene. 05:49.200 --> 05:55.600 Kitty, her back bare and showing in this strange light an ugly criss-cross of rising red wheels, 05:55.600 --> 05:59.020 has her wrists lashed high above her head to a pole. 05:59.020 --> 06:03.520 One of the black slaves is coiling a thin long black whip while his companion examines 06:03.520 --> 06:04.520 their handiwork. 06:04.520 --> 06:08.600 He is proud of it, no skin has been broken. 06:08.600 --> 06:13.560 To do that would endanger his own skin, for Jobson knows that Kitty's greatest value lies 06:13.560 --> 06:15.240 in her unblemished loveliness. 06:15.240 --> 06:20.800 With a sharp knife he cuts her from the pole, and without another look they both leave her 06:20.800 --> 06:23.400 sobbing upon the ground. 06:23.400 --> 06:27.760 News of wars, riots and rebels travels fast, and the cause of the evening's disturbance 06:27.760 --> 06:31.240 soon reaches the flying gull and is learned of by Hunter. 06:31.240 --> 06:37.440 He waits, watching the bedraggled bruised men come aboard, looking for one man in particular. 06:37.440 --> 06:39.680 No, don't go aboard yet, Dears. 06:39.680 --> 06:42.320 I won't know where to go tonight, Hunter. 06:42.320 --> 06:43.560 We are not going to have many words. 06:43.560 --> 06:46.400 Leave me be, can't you see I've had enough tonight? 06:46.400 --> 06:47.400 I can hardly walk. 06:47.400 --> 06:50.280 I want to get aboard, sir, then get some rest. 06:50.280 --> 06:52.800 You will never go aboard the flying gull again, Dears. 06:52.800 --> 06:56.000 I have heard about your little exploit tonight, and it's time you learned that when a woman 06:56.000 --> 06:57.840 tells you to leave her alone, she means it. 06:57.840 --> 07:00.480 And as you have not learnt that lesson yet, then you will now. 07:00.480 --> 07:02.880 I am going aboard the ship. 07:02.880 --> 07:04.360 You just try and stop me. 07:04.360 --> 07:05.360 I will. 07:05.360 --> 07:06.360 No! 07:06.360 --> 07:19.960 And if you can't swim now, it's time for you to learn. 07:19.960 --> 07:29.040 Oh, it is right glad I am to see you, Jeffrey. 07:29.040 --> 07:32.360 But what are you doing here at the Dorthan Tavern at this time of day? 07:32.360 --> 07:33.760 I've come to see you, of course. 07:33.760 --> 07:34.760 You have? 07:34.760 --> 07:37.560 Oh, Jeffrey, grand to hear you say that. 07:37.560 --> 07:39.160 I heard about the affair of last night. 07:39.160 --> 07:41.320 Oh, look at the Tavern, they wrecked it. 07:41.320 --> 07:44.880 It was just an excuse for them to have a fight among themselves, and I got the blame for 07:44.880 --> 07:45.880 it. 07:45.880 --> 07:47.960 You won't be having any more trouble from Dears, Kitty. 07:47.960 --> 07:51.160 Unless he can swim, he's been drowned in the harbor of Quadroyal. 07:51.160 --> 07:53.160 Why, how do you mean? 07:53.160 --> 07:58.760 I hit him rather hard when he came back to the ship last night, and he tumbled over a 07:58.760 --> 07:59.760 little bit. 07:59.760 --> 08:02.400 You won't need to worry about him anymore. 08:02.400 --> 08:05.280 Oh, don't touch my shirt, Jeffrey, please. 08:05.280 --> 08:06.280 Why, what's this? 08:06.280 --> 08:09.200 I see long, thin, black bruises. 08:09.200 --> 08:11.560 Oh, four-legged jobson. 08:11.560 --> 08:14.680 He blamed me for last night, and I got another whip in. 08:14.680 --> 08:17.960 His two black slaves are very expert with the whip. 08:17.960 --> 08:20.520 He had you beaten by two black slaves? 08:20.520 --> 08:23.160 What is this world we live in where men are able to treat women and their fellow men like 08:23.160 --> 08:24.160 cattle beasts to the field? 08:24.160 --> 08:26.680 Oh, he has every right to treat me as he will. 08:26.680 --> 08:30.120 You see, I'm only a convict servant, no better than a slave. 08:30.120 --> 08:31.120 I'm his property. 08:31.120 --> 08:32.120 I belong to him. 08:32.120 --> 08:35.280 What a vile system this is. 08:35.280 --> 08:36.520 How can I get you away from here? 08:36.520 --> 08:41.720 Oh, you're very sweet, but you'd have to buy me, and my price would be too high, it's that 08:41.720 --> 08:42.720 I know. 08:42.720 --> 08:45.000 Far too high for even you to do it. 08:45.000 --> 08:50.320 No, just come and see me, and let me be near you sometimes, Jeffrey, and I can put up with 08:50.320 --> 08:51.320 anything else. 08:51.320 --> 08:53.320 You've been so good to me, Kitty. 08:53.320 --> 08:55.880 I would like to do more than that. 08:55.880 --> 08:56.880 You can't. 08:56.880 --> 08:59.840 There's nothing you can do, and now, Jeffrey, you'd better go. 08:59.840 --> 09:02.920 There's all this mess, and I've got to get it cleaned up. 09:02.920 --> 09:09.400 All right, Kitty, and I'll be back tonight to see you. 09:09.400 --> 09:21.160 Well, I am honored, Sir Thomas, that you and Mlle. 09:21.160 --> 09:24.320 Antoinette are paying me a visit aboard the flying gull. 09:24.320 --> 09:26.560 I will be brief and to the point. 09:26.560 --> 09:28.480 I've just come back from the assembly, Morgan. 09:28.480 --> 09:29.480 Oh, indeed, yes. 09:29.480 --> 09:35.520 The affair of the Dolphin Tavern last night, members of the assembly are very upset. 09:35.520 --> 09:38.560 I understand that one of your men started all the trouble. 09:38.560 --> 09:40.360 Yes, so I have heard. 09:40.360 --> 09:42.760 Well, I want to give you a warning, Morgan. 09:42.760 --> 09:44.880 The assembly is thinking of closing the Dolphin Tavern. 09:44.880 --> 09:50.440 It has an unsavory reputation, and last night's exhibition almost closed its doors for good. 09:50.440 --> 09:56.040 Now, should there be any further disturbance in that quarter, the Dolphin Tavern will close. 09:56.040 --> 09:58.040 So warn your men, Morgan. 09:58.040 --> 10:00.160 I shall, and have no fears. 10:00.160 --> 10:04.280 The man who was responsible has been dealt with by my Mr. Hunter. 10:04.280 --> 10:06.200 He will not come aboard this ship again. 10:06.200 --> 10:07.640 Good, I'm glad to hear it. 10:07.640 --> 10:10.280 Come, Antoinette, I must hurry to keep an appointment. 10:10.280 --> 10:12.560 Goodbye, Captain Morgan. 10:12.560 --> 10:15.200 You have not forgotten our dinner appointment. 10:15.200 --> 10:16.200 Not at all, Mme. 10:16.200 --> 10:19.000 Allow me to accompany you to the quayside. 10:19.000 --> 10:20.000 Thank you. 10:20.000 --> 10:25.480 And tell me, Captain, have you managed to persuade Mr. Hunter to come with you to dinner? 10:25.480 --> 10:28.840 Well, to tell the truth, I have not tried again. 10:28.840 --> 10:33.080 But if you really want to see him, well, I'll see if I can persuade him to come. 10:33.080 --> 10:35.440 I really would like you to, Captain Morgan. 10:35.440 --> 10:39.200 Oh, look, Uncle Thomas, he has gone on ahead. 10:39.200 --> 10:41.200 I must hurry and catch him up. 10:41.200 --> 10:44.240 See, he is waiting for me in the carriage. 10:44.240 --> 10:48.480 I hope to see you with Mr. Hunter at our dining table before very long. 10:48.480 --> 10:49.480 Goodbye, Captain Morgan. 10:49.480 --> 10:50.480 Goodbye, Mme. 10:50.480 --> 10:51.480 Not so quickly, please. 10:51.480 --> 10:54.480 Who are you lurking in the shadow of that building? 10:54.480 --> 10:59.480 I have been watching you, Mme. 10:59.480 --> 11:00.480 Antoinette de Lacey. 11:00.480 --> 11:05.760 I know I have seen you somewhere before. 11:05.760 --> 11:14.120 And now I know where it was. 11:14.120 --> 11:18.680 All of Delore's plans are in danger if Biats really knows her identity. 11:18.680 --> 11:23.720 Hear the sequel of this meeting in the next episode of A Float with Henry Morgan.
