(BOTH GRUNTING)

You just fell for the
oldest trick in the book.

And what book is that?

How to defeat the boastful
warrior in one easy move.

Well then,

you had better press home
advantage before it is too late.

But you're weaponless
and flat on your back.

Really?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(EXCLAIMS)

That makes it three
hits to me and to you,



none.

(LAUGHING)

(NOLAN CHATTERING)

Who's that?

NOLAN: Jacob, it's hotter than hell
in here and full of stinging things.

JACOB: You're my brother, Nolan,

but anymore griping from you and I'll
put you out of your misery. Understood?

I want fresh water.
MAN: Set her down!

We should be
heading farther inland.

And if I wanted your opinion,
Captain Taylor, I'd ask for it.

(GRUNTS)

I'll have you
hanged for this, Moore.

(SCOFFS)

Not if I put a hole through
your skull first, you won't.



Jacob,
he's a valuable hostage.

Do you seriously propose to throw
away an asset like the Captain?

(SCREAMING)

JACOB: Drag him
back to the beach.

You're asking me?

If you so please.

This way!

(GRUNTING)

Mutineers.

Friday, that's
an English ship.

That means escape.

But it is commandeered
by mutineers.

What if the Captain and
his crew were reinstated?

That is a very big "if"
under these circumstances.

The crew is shackled,

the Captain is wounded and the
mutineers are at least 25 strong.

What are those?

Where?

There.

Women folk. Must be the
Captain's wife and daughter.

Your women folk are
shaped like bells.

No wonder
you went to sea.

Then we have to know that the Captain would
be on our side before we try anything.

Come on.

No brandy.

But...
But the pain.

(MEN LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

Maybe you'd better let your little
Brazilian butcher boy do it.

You remove it, my boy.

I can't work under
these circumstances.

(EXCLAIMS)

Forgive me.

(GRUNTING)

(MUFFLED YELL)

We're going hunting.

Tonight we stuff ourselves and
drink Captain Taylor's brandy!

(MEN CHEERING)

Here.

Thank you.

Save your strength.
You're going to need it.

Captain Taylor.

My name's Crusoe.

Where'd you come from?

I'm a castaway
on this island.

But I'm here
to help you.

Are you alone?
No.

There's more
than one of you?

Just.

You're an optimist.

If I help you regain
command of your ship,

I need your word that you'll
take my companion and myself

off this island with
you when you set sail.

You have it, sir.

Jacob Moore, the leader
of the mutineers,

is as desperate a
blackheart as ever lived.

A few of the men follow
him through allegiance.

The rest obey him
simply through fear.

I'm working on a plan. Until
I come back, you stay here.

I will return.

Good, sir.

CRUSOE: Is this an
old cannibal trick?

FRIDAY: One time when
the warning of an attack,

we had the entire
village like this.

When the raiders came, we jumped up
and chased them back to the beach.

But there was
one small problem.

CRUSOE: You couldn't
find the village again?

Have I told you
this story before?

Now remember,
just remove the leader.

Jacob Moore.

If we take him, we gain
a significant advantage.

(SQUEALING)

Get after him.

(IMITATING PIG SQUEALING)

(YELLS)

JACOB: What witchcraft
is this?

(YELLING)
What are you?

Nolan? Atkins? Come help me.
Help me!

Help me! Help me!

(GRUNTS)

Where are you, you dog?

Now what have we here?

You're a demon.
Come to trap me.

(GROWLS)

(JACOB YELLING)

No, it's us.
Will. Nolan.

It...

It was here.

What was?

A net!
A net?

A net, aye! It
caught me in a net.

It tried to capture me.

What did?

A spirit. It tried to
kill me, it did, yeah.

But I'm not so easily dispatched.
Oh, no.

Where are you then?

Come on then. I'm here and
I'm ready for you this time!

I overestimated the net.

Or underestimated the man.

A locksmith
showed me this once.

He had a workshop
next to my warehouse.

Hmm.

Why is it called
a skeleton key?

Because it's thin.

Hmm?

I don't know.

Killing Jacob Moore would
not have solved anything.

No? One of his men would
have taken his place.

Well, that depends.

The leader of a mutiny
has to terrify the crew

more than the
prospect of a hanging.

Well, if you ask me, Crusoe,
I just think that maybe...

Friday, look, we're not
going to kill them all.

We'll reinstate the Captain and his officers
in exchange for a safe passage to England.

Where no one will hang.

If they can convince a judge that
they were forced to join a mutiny

for fear of their lives,
then no.

Your English judges must
be the wisest of men.

Not to be corrupted by the power
they hold over the lives of men.

CRUSOE: Except for one.

Do you believe
there is a God?

CRUSOE: Judge Jeffreys.
King James' right hand man.

To see him in action
was to see the future,

for me and every London merchant
and dissenter family in the realm.

...such a villain
through the whole city.

Now,
gentlemen of the jury,

you take notice of the terrible
carriage of this fellow.

How can one help abhorring
these men and their religion.

A pagan would be ashamed
of such villainy.

Oh, Lord, oh, blessed
Lord, oh, blessed Lord.

What a generation of
vipers do we live among?

You watch, he'll have him
tied to the back of a cart

and whipped through the streets.

CRUSOE: I can't say how it
goes in England now, but,

every man deserves a
chance to redeem himself.

Like Jacob Moore?

Jacob Moore sealed his
fate whatever we do.

How do you plan on getting
that to your Captain?

You have already chanced
one visit to the camp.

I have a messenger in mind.

JACOB: I tell you,
lads, have no fear.

I looked into the eyes of evil and
I come through unscathed, right?

Ay, all of you.

Stop your mumbling about ghosts and demons.
Get to work.

You see?
They don't doubt me.

I don't doubt you either, Jacob.

He's been muttering all night.

Something about a man
coming to set us free.

It's the fever.

(SIGHS)

It's healing.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

You're a woman.

You have a keen eye,
mister...

Crusoe.
Crusoe.

Robinson Crusoe.
I...

Stay right there, Mr. Crusoe.
Don't move an inch.

(CHUCKLES) Why?

I said don't move!

You expect me to stand here
while you try and shoot me?

So you can keep your secret
and carry on living a lie?

Only so I can
carry on living.

Listen,
I wish you no harm.

Then why were you spying
on me?

I wasn't spying on you. I came
to ask for your help, but you...

(PANTING)

This changes things.

I'm sorry
I startled you.

If you're in need of medical help,
then my sex would be of no issue.

Are you planning something?

Like I said,
this changes things.

You don't trust me
because I'm a woman?

I serve Jacob Moore because
I'd be killed if I didn't.

I do what I can
for Captain Taylor

because I have no wish to end up on the
end of the rope should he regain command.

Self preservation
to the last.

You're a castaway stranded
on this island, Mr. Crusoe.

We're all slaves
to self preservation.

Takes courage to live as I do,
more than if I were a man.

I'll find another way.

What if I tell the
mutineers you're out here?

And what if I tell them
that you're a woman?

Whose life will become
more unbearable then?

Be careful who you trust,
Robinson Crusoe.

Do you need anything?

I happened to lay eyes on you
earlier this morning, miss!

I've been at sea
for over a year now.

But I ain't forgotten what
makes a woman a woman.

Come here!

(GASPING)

Please.

Begging's good.

You alert the whole camp and then
I'll be everyone's property.

But if you
keep my secret,

you'll also keep
exclusive rights.

You're a sly one and
no mistake.

Do we have a deal?

JACOB: Nolan! Where are
you, you feculent dog?

We have a deal.

I'll be back soon.

You can rely on it.

(PANTING)

FRIDAY:
Did you find the lad?

Yes and no.
The lad's a lady.

FRIDAY: A bearded lady?

The beard is an old
stage performance trick.

FRIDAY: Ah! Your mating rituals are
complicated enough as they are.

And that kind of
thing will not help.

She may be brave,

but I would never knowingly
put a woman's life in danger.

I need
a different plan.

Where have you been?

The sacrificial burial ground.

You're not the only one
who has a plan, Crusoe.

Those are
human remains.

It would not be a burial
ground if they were not.

We need a distraction so you
can set the prisoners free.

The mutineers are all on edge because they
think there are demons on this island.

My good friends here
will help supply them.

What about your spirits
and laying bones to rest?

They are okay, Crusoe. I
have discussed it with them.

Even spirits need a change
of scenery now and again.

But I promise to return
them once it is done.

Those mutineers are tough.
They'll not buy this.

The tough ones
always fear the most.

Think back when
you first came here.

Alone on the island
when the sun went down.

No hope, no help.

And no name for the things
you feared the most.

(PANTING)

(SHRIEKING)

(HOWLING)

(WINGS FLAPPING)

(WHISTLING)

(CHIRPING)

(YELLS)

(MOANING IN FEAR)

You are without a doubt the most
surprising human being I have ever known.

We can take care
of things from here.

I think we'll be quite
all right, thank you.

Our orders were to
watch you at all times.

(SNIGGERS)

Not while we wash,
surely?

Nolan!

Look.

(ELIZABETH GASPS)

What?

Back to camp.

Now!

Move!

And that is
just the beginning.

Come on.
We've got work to do.

Do you understand
these people?

Neither do I.

A dead man.

A dead man
at the lagoon.

We have to leave.

He's been at
the grog again.

Shut your mouth, Will.
We all saw it, right?

It's true.
I saw it with me own eyes.

It rose up
like a demon.

Get the women back
into the stockade.

(SOBBING)

First, it attacked you.
Now it's come for me.

This place is cursed.
We're all cursed.

Calm down, man!

We have to find another island to get
provisions from before it's too late.

Right, you lot.

Load all the goods
into the longboat.

Did you not hear him?
Move it!

We shouldn't
have taken the ship.

Shut up, man.

You're giving
everyone the jitters.

He must be sunstruck.
Let me help.

Right. Just keep him away
from the rest of the men.

Come on.

MAN: Roll out the barrel, boys!
Put your shoulder into it.

Chew this.
It'll calm you.

I know what would
really calm me.

Just chew.

Contrary to what people believe,
gunpowder does not explode.

It burns very quickly producing
a high volume of gases.

Crusoe, in order for me to help you,
I must maintain my will to live.

Confine these gases
within a ridged container

and the container will burst
in a spectacular fashion.

This is what
causes your explosion.

A man of science
would appreciate that.

The spirits will say make
sure it makes a bang.

You stick with your spirits
and I'll stick with mine.

Ah, they are the same.
No, they're not.

Yes, they are. I have heard you
pray for help from a dead man.

That dead man would
be the son of my God.

Is he not dead?

No. And he's certainly not
found in bones and relics.

Ah, unlike your
saints and martyrs.

All right,
now those are similar.

FRIDAY: The same.
Similar.

Give them your faith and they
will give you their protection.

(BABY CRYING)

Does thou
Jeremiah Blackthorn,

in the name of this child renounce
the devil and all his works,

the vain pomp and
glory of the world

and the carnal
desires of the flesh,

so that thou wilt not
follow nor be lead by them?

I renounce them all.

(CHURCH BELL TOLLS)

And if faith is not enough,
have powerful friends.

(CHOKING)

Nolan!

Nolan!

(CHOKING)

I don't know what's
wrong with him.

One second he was calming
down and then the next...

Well,
where's the surgeon?

He's back on the ship.

(CHOKING)

Well, you better take
care of my brother.

Yes, sir.

Come, lad. Come now, lad.
Easy does it.

OLIVER:
Put him on the table.

His throat's constricted.

Maybe he swallowed an
insect and it stung him.

His only hope is if I can open
his throat below the swelling.

Well, do it.

(CHOKING)

If you have a God,
pray to him now.

If not, I suggest
you get one quick.

(CHOKING)

(GASPS)

The ghost pointed at
him and now he's dead.

Shut up!

I'll take his body
and bury him at sea.

And I trust you to take care
of things while I'm gone.

Of course.

I'll be back.

Hannibal didn't have gunpowder
when he crossed the Alps.

He broke up rocks with fire and vinegar.
Shall I tell you how?

You always do this to me
when I cannot get away.

What's wrong with
expanding your horizons?

Makes my head hurt.

Crusoe, you should
stop worrying.

We have a plan.

I just want to go home.

(MEN LAUGHING)

NASH: Hey, you
should take a slug.

You should take it easy.

The men are
still very jumpy.

A night on the grog
will straighten them out.

Nature calls.

(HUMMING)

What do you think?

I think they started
the party without us.

NASH: Who are you?

You do realize you
only have one shot.

Which means you'll only
be able to kill one of us.

And that whoever
you do not shoot

will have to cut your throat
before the other hits the ground.

(GRUNTS)

Ready?

(SHOUTS)

(EXCLAIMS)

Let the show begin.

(MEN EXCLAIMING)

Stand your ground.
Stand your ground!

ATKINS: Stand your ground!
Gather around me here!

(MEN CLAMORING)

Captain Taylor.

Mr. Crusoe.
I thought you'd forgotten us.

(PEOPLE YELLING)

Are you going
to be leading us?

I'll leave that to you.
Right.

I need to help a friend,
but I'll be back.

(SCREAMING)

Lancaster.
Unshackle the men.

(MEN YELLING)

MAN: Come on, let's go.
Get up, Velasquez.

The prisoners are out!

Arm yourselves,
you drunken sots!

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

(SCREAMING)

They're in disarray.
Let's have at them!

(SCREAMING)

Fire!
Fire.

Reload!

No! No, wait!

Hold your fire.

One more shot
and I kill her.

Papa!

Lower your weapons.

We have lost.

Not just yet.

Back to your mother.
Lock 'em up!

A night away to bury my brother
and what do I come back to?

Taylor and his
officers got out.

It's in the nature of
captives to want to escape.

It's the jailer's
job to stop 'em.

They had help.

Obviously.

The lash will
loosen their tongues.

Put 'em on board the ship.

Won't find it so easy to
launch an escape from there.

No!
You take 'em!

And you stay with them
till I send for you!

Excuse me. I got hit over the
head by two men over there.

Shut up!
You lad. Come here.

Mr. Atkins obviously needs all the
help he can get. So you go with him.

What will happen to the women?
You leave the women here.

It'll give Captain Taylor something to
consider if he tries to plan another escape.

And what are you gonna
do about those two men?

What I always do to people
who try and cross me.

We have to get those women to safety.
Come on.

MAN: Who are you?

(ELIZABETH GASPS)

(SHUSHING)

ELIZABETH: Bless you.

(GASPS)

Don't be afraid.
He's a friend.

I need you to take
them to the tree house.

But he's a savage.

Far from it, madam.

He's my best friend
and he's your salvation.

And where
are you going?

I've got to find
a way onto that boat.

You'll be fine.

Come on and get this boat
out to sea, you lazy lots!

MAN: All right, all right.

You'll be kissing the gunner's
daughter before too long.

Get her out to sea while
the tide's still with us.

One, two, heave!

Come on, boys!
One, two, heave!

ATKINS: One, two, heave!

Secure the camp.
I've got a score to settle.

ATKINS: We have all had
our fill of Jacob Moore.

So I'm seizing the ship
and taking command.

Stow the prisoners below.
Prepare to set sail.

You're abandoning Moore?
That I am.

Weigh anchor! Up sheets!
Hands to the jeers!

MAN: Aye, Captain.

ATKINS: Stow the prisoners.

Let's get clear of this
godforsaken place.

MAN: Let's go!

MAN: Come on.

We need to drink.
Please.

Make it quick.

(GASPS) What
are you doing?

It will keep you cool.

(BIRDS SHRIEKING)

We are being pursued.
Let us go.

Now!

You're going to
leave us here?

I could make my life a lot easier
and return you to Jacob Moore.

If you would prefer.

Soon as we clear the
rocks, move the main sail!

Give her everything
she can carry!

This ship's mine now.

Not if I have anything
to say about it.

(GRUNTING)

Get him!

Take the wheel, boy!

This one's for me.

(GRUNTING)

You fight like a man
with a lot to lose.

Well, I have
nothing to lose.

Which makes me
far more dangerous.

First blood, I think.

So, the evil
island spirit.

(SNIGGERS) You going to attack
me with a stick, are you?

I have a very, very
unfair advantage.

Oh? Well, we'll just
see about that.

(GRUNTING)

Die!

ATKINS: Hold the wheel steady,
boy!

While I finish him off.

You see? I have been
living the outdoor life.

Fresh air, plenty of exercise
and nutritious food.

You...

You have been cooped up at sea, eating
nothing but broth and dry biscuits.

Aye, but I still have the
beating of a savage in me.

Especially
one that cost me so much.

I do not think so.

You can't
defeat us all.

Last blood
to me as well.

You haven't shed it yet.

(YELLS)

(PANTS)

Now who's on their back?

(MEN CLAMORING)

ATKINS: What the
hell is going on?

Get your scurvy asses
back down below.

You have to go now.
Go. Go.

Keep your
gun on them all.

Where'd he go?

He fell overboard.

He'll do well to survive
with that wound he has.

Then good riddance.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Well, at least they're stuck here a
while longer while they fix our ship.

I don't think Atkins and his men will
travel too far into the jungle anymore.

Today, the battle
may have been lost.

But the war
is far from over.

Have faith, my friend.
We will get you home.

Come.
