(BIRD SQUAWKING)

(EXCLAIMS)

CRUSOE: Friday?

It's far too early
for this.

Traitor.

All right, I surrender.

(EXCLAIMS)

(DUNDEE BARKING)

Well, I'm awake now!

Stirred up with envy
and revenge.

(GRUNTING)



I'll get you back, and
when you least expect it.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(BARKS)

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

Still, out of good
needs to fight evil.

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMS)

Crusoe!

(GRUNTING)

(BARKING)

Let me out.

Let me out!

Crusoe!



You're lucky that
trap's not finished.

It's getting poisonous spikes
fitted tomorrow.

I will kill you, Crusoe,
or die in the attempt.

That now is my pledge.

Your cage will
not hold me.

Game's over, Friday.

And when I get out...

You got a fever? Because
you look like your sick.

Save your false words.

(PANTING)

Poison?
Poison?

Snake bite?

So, you confess?

What's your medicine
for snake bites?

Wiley snake,
infernal serpent.

Tell me.
You have to help me.

(SNARLS) I am not
your lieutenant!

CRUSOE: Look at me.
This is serious.

Hey, Friday!
Don't pass out on me.

No, no, no. Friday?

Enemy

of mankind.

I will get you
an antidote. Okay?

You'll be all right.
You have my word.

Traitor, traitor.

(MEN CHATTERING)

What we needed was gangrene.

(SNORING)

(EXCLAIMS) One more word, it
will be your last, I swear.

(MUMBLING)

(SHUSHING)

(SNORING)

(ROWLEY MUMBLING)

Snake bite, snake bite.

"Anti-venom, Jergon Sacha."

Jergon Sacha.

OLMA: If it isn't
our savior.

I need your help.

That's what you promised me last
time I caught you stealing.

I need antidote. Jergon Sacha.
Snake bite?

Where is it?
Show me the wound.

It's not me, it's Friday.

(ROWLEY EXCLAIMS)

(MOUTHING)

(GROANS)

Don't do that. Two days it
took me to sort things out.

From A to J and K to Z.

J! Jergon Sacha.

Which is a
parasitic vine.

It has to be freshly
harvested before it flowers.

Distinctive by its
semblance of a snake,

the flower should be chopped, immersed
in liquid and immediately ingested.

Somebody's been doing
their homework.

There's only two things that
get you left alone on ship.

Standing in a crow's nest
and learning a medical book.

And surgeons don't
climb rigging.

He'll be dead by now.

What?

Immediately ingested.
It's an urgent cure.

I'm sorry,
you're too late.

I shouldn't have
left him.

He didn't know me.

He swore he'd kill me.

(SIGHS)

Doesn't sound like
snake bite to me.

If it's not a snake bite,
he could still be alive.

Come with me?
Come and see him.

No, no listen. Listen.

I'll give you anything you want,
everything I have is yours.

Money, gold.

Please, this is the last thing
I'll ask of you, I swear.

Please.

All right.

(DUNDEE BARKING)
CRUSOE: Hello, boy.

Friday.

(OLMA AND CRUSOE GASP)
Friday?

On his shoulder.

You will fail. Out of
goods that fight evil.

Why would I do evil?

Hold him still.

And the thought of lost happiness
and lasting pain torments him.

Where have I
heard those words?

Round he throws his baleful eyes that
witnessed huge affliction and dismay.

Paradise Lost. I've
been reading it to him.

Milton?

Mixed with obdurate pride
and steadfast hate.

Have you nothing lighter
than the fall of mankind?

How about a sonnet?

(SCOFFS)

I see thy fall determined.

Where's his part
of the castle?

Up here.

OLMA: Well, I can guess who
had first choice of bedroom.

CRUSOE: He prefers things natural.
What are we looking for?

Anything he could have
eaten or drunk.

Tracks from a snake
or scorpion.

You don't know,
do you?

Honey?
Don't!

It was no snake bite. Your
friend was stung by a wasp.

There was two
puncture marks.

Two of them.

Enough to poison him?

It's not...
Don't blame the wasp.

It's the honey
that is poisoned.

They were just
protecting it.

Is there an antidote?

I need to look it up.

Where?

My books.
Back in the camp.

And?

I like you better
the other way.

MAN 1: Let's go! Let's go!

Put it down
and lend us a hand.

MAN 2: Who's got
the mallet?

Sir, please follow me. Up there.

Where is he?

No.

No, no, no.

CRUSOE: "Poisoned honey causes
hallucinations, delusions, high fever

"and if untreated, death."

What are you doing?

The men are losing patience with you.
I had to amputate a leg today.

If he dies, you are...

(GASPS)

Maybe I'll amputate your
insolent tongue, boy.

Now get me a drink!

Quicker!

Here.

More.

(GASPS)

Who...

What...

Anesthetic.

Put him over here. He'll
be more comfortable there.

Are you all right?
That? A mood, not a rage.

They shouldn't let him
bully you.

They? Each is watching
their own skin.

Okay. Let me see.

Yes, an antidote.

I've never seen this plant on this island.
Do you know it?

No, I don't. Tropical.
But it's promising.

"Grows in rocky
exposed areas.

"Tolerates harsh
environment, direct sun."

If it's here,
I know where it'll be.

"Crush the leaves.
Boil until water clears."

Listen, how much time
do I have?

Only hours. His fever
hadn't taken hold.

When it does...

Find the plant quickly,
and I'd say he has a chance.

Thank you.

Oliver.

(OLMA LAUGHING)

It's rude to sneak up
on people.

Your friend is right
to think you simple.

My friend does not
think me simple.

Satan, then. I would've stuck with simple.
We should hurry.

We?

What color flowers has this plant?
What hue of leaf?

You'd poison him with a guess. I would
not have my work undone by ignorance.

(SIGHS) What ever you say,
Olivia. Oliver.

This way.

Before you send
the plague!

Did you think I'd
be afraid, Crusoe?

Where are you, Crusoe?

Come out! Come out!

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Crusoe.

Crusoe.

CRUSOE: Have a drink.

You like to give orders,
don't you?

(PANTING) Excuse me.
Would you like a drink?

Was that Rowley? You should
have let me deal with him.

Rowley doesn't frighten me.
No man frightens me.

I can see inside them
because of what I am.

Obviously, I have to
cut a hole in them first.

You can't see a man's soul or
a man's spirit with a knife.

Snake.

(OLMA LAUGHS)

I know that move.
It's called overreaction.

Does your book say anything about
having time to play games?

It was for future reference.

Jergon Sacha,
snake anti-venom.

Look, see how it resembles
what it can cure.

It's funny how nature
pairs things.

A natural pair
for every being.

And yours is in a cage under a
tree palace, speaking poems.

Mine is in England
waiting for me.

My wife. Susannah.

What would Susannah think about
you raiding your enemies' camp?

Risking your life
for your new friend.

Before Friday,
I merely existed.

He showed me how to live.

If I do get off this island and back
to Susannah, it's because of him.

(SIGHS)

That's why it hurt so much
when he called me a traitor.

I'm sure you've
heard worse.

I've heard the same
for a crime just as great.

Which was?

Monmouth's rebel army was
gathering against the king.

I was traveling, too,
on trade.

A family to feed.

CRUSOE: I didn't know the
rebels had already been routed.

The king's soldiers were
hunting them down.

All those involved were branded
traitors and sentenced to death.

(MAN GROANING)

I pray you, sir,
will you help a stranger?

CRUSOE: What can I do?

Can you spare
some water?

It's not for me.
It's for the boy.

I heard cannon fire
last night.

That was the rebellion,
such as it was.

It's over?

We had the Lord on our side.
The king had the cavalry.

We were all lined up for a night
attack when a musket shot betrayed us.

Thank you.

Here, my son.

He's changed his mind.

We can only keep
moving, sir.

The king's men will
have us if we don't.

Are you one of us, sir?

I'm... I'm just a merchant.

Watch yourself.

King James will not forgive any man
that has stood up against him.

I expect they'll hunt us
all down now after this.

Where will you go?

The boy asked
for his mother.

I'm taking him to her.

WOMAN: Who's there?

Robinson Crusoe.

Who else?
No one. I'm alone.

I'll take as much of the
fine lace as you can make.

And I'll give you five percent over the asking
price if you give me six weeks to pay it.

Search the outbuildings.

You've nothing to fear
from the rebels.

They've taken
the worst of it.

God bless them.

Bless them, indeed.

You're not a supporter?

Just looking out
for my family.

But not their future.

Whose is that horse
outside?

Mine. What of it?

And who are you?
I'm Robinson Crusoe.

Here to do business with Abigail
Farnham, the lace maker.

I'll see your letter
of passage.

(KNOCKING ON WINDOW)
MAN 1: Sir! Rebels!

They've been hiding
them in the barn.

Sir! Go!

MAN 2: Arrest the lace maker
and Robinson Crusoe.

MAN 3: He's getting away.
After him.

CRUSOE: She saved my life that day,
and I could do nothing for her.

I knew they'd
show her no mercy.

What did you think of her?
Brave or foolish?

Brave.

This is the place.

If the plant's not here,
then...

Well, let's hope it is
and that we find it quickly.

You stay here. I'm going to continue
further on up to the rocks.

(CHUCKLES)

Please?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, good. Olivia!

Don't shout that,
not ever.

No one will hear. One word, one careless
moment, and I'm your lace maker.

Except death will be
a welcome relief.

I'm sorry. Truly.

Now, is that
your plant?

If I ever need
an assistant...

I've always had
a keen eye.

That's our plant.

At once, as far as angels
ken, he views.

The dismal situation,
waste and wild.

A dungeon horrible.

"A dungeon horrible
on all sides round."

A dungeon horrible
on all sides round.

"On all sides round.
As one great furnace flamed."

As one great furnace flamed.

Yet, no light. "Yet, from
those flames no light.

"But rather
darkness visible."

Crusoe!

(PANTING)

CRUSOE: I'll control
your descent.

(CHUCKLES) My descent?

You're lighter.
It's safer.

Standing up here
is much safer.

You scared of heights?

(LAUGHS)

I could lower you down.

I'll go alone.

You don't trust a woman?

When I get to the plant,
I'll give you a signal.

You can help me back up.

Does that still count
as doing it alone?

Just in case, what would you
like on your gravestone?

Robin or Robinson Crusoe?

(CHUCKLES)

(EXHALES)

(GASPS)

(SOFTLY) Okay.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

Crusoe!

I can't climb up!

Grab hold!

What's it tied to?

Just take it!

(GRUNTS)

I can't reach it!

(PANTING)

Don't look.

(PANTING)

Close your eyes.

Ready.

Let's hope our
sacrifice is in time.

You've done your best.

I promised I'd make sure I'd be
back for him. I gave him my word.

A surgeon can give
his word like that.

The patients don't
call him a liar.

The world hears the praise of the
living and thinks him a man of honor.

I don't care
what the world thinks.

But I do care about those
that matter the most to me.

(DOOR OPENS)

(CRUSOE PANTING)

Susannah!
(GASPS) Robin!

How did you get
past the gates?

Judge Jeffrey's has named
you a traitor to the king.

I know.

He had Abigail Farnham
burned alive.

The rebels are on giblets
on Bridgewater Road.

You shouldn't have
come back.

I did not join them. I did not break
my promise, I need you to know that.

Take the children
and go back to your father.

He's disowned us.

What?

Because I wouldn't
disown you.

(STAMMERING)
I don't know what to do.

I do. Will you trust me?

Yes.

Stay away from the windows.

I never meant to make this
more dangerous for you.

I don't care about that.

I care about you.

Susannah is going
to Mr. Blackthorn.

They've come up
with a plan.

It had better be a good one.
I'm to sail to the New World.

When?
Today.

Father, you will
see me again.

I'm sure I will.

Susannah will
get me a pardon.

And when it's safe for me
to return to London,

she'll put a notice in
the London Gazette.

You'll never see that.
One way or another

I will.

So we like about
the Crusoes.

We do choose our women well.

Although, to be honest, Robin,
I think they do the choosing.

(CHUCKLES)

Perhaps you can

find a space in your baggage
for a keepsake of us.

Your Breeches Bible?

With the family history
written in.

Wherever you may
find yourself,

this is who you are.

You are my son.

Always will be.

Don't forget.

What will you do?

Stay at home,
pay my taxes.

Try not to draw attention.

(HORSES NEIGHING)

(DUNDEE BARKING) CRUSOE: What is it, boy?
What is it?

He's gone.

(PANTING) This way.

(GRUNTING)

Out.

Steadfast hate.

Obdurate pride.

At least he's still alive.

You must be a
brilliant surgeon.

(GRUNTING)

What's happening?

Stay away from
the railings.

CRUSOE: Go, go, go.

We need to keep him near.
This way, this way.

He's trying to kill you.
Where else would he go?

(SIGHS) Now what?

Give it to me. Now who's
giving the orders?

It needs to be chopped.

(GRUNTS)

You know that anesthetic you have?
OLMA: Yeah.

Is it strong enough
to work from a dart?

Yes, it knocks out
Rowley. Why?

Look.

These are hollow, and these
are sailmaker's needles.

If I can fashion this into a dart
and fill this with the anesthetic,

I may be able to
shoot it into Friday.

A blow pipe.

Right. If we can stop Friday
from attacking me long enough

we may be able to
give him the antidote.

(SIGHS) That's
a big "if."

I'm open to all
sorts of ideas, here.

Here.
Thank you.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Not a fan of Milton?

Pretentious pig.

He's a great poet.

How long do those
need to boil?

Until it clears.

(GRUNTING)

Ocean journeys are long. Your
mediocre poets are distraction.

I bet it's very lonely
for you, living as Oliver.

Why did you leave
Susannah?

Leave her? No.

She was not
on your ship.

I was returning to her.

Then you had to leave?
No. I had no choice.

Where there's life,
there is choice.

Staying would have
cost me my life.

CRUSOE: I might as well
have joined the rebels,

because in the end,
I had to flee like one.

SUSANNAH: Robin,
don't argue please.

If there was any other
way out, we'd be taking it.

Your wife knows what she's talking about.
You're a lucky man, Robin.

CRUSOE: She's more
than I deserve.

Let me pledge this. You must
agree to it, both of you.

Should any mishap
occur to you,

and let's not suppose
it will, but if it did,

I will take full legal
control of your children.

Now, you understand
what this means?

One day, all that I have
will be theirs.

Why, sir, for that I'd be tempted
to off myself here and now.

(CHUCKLES) Robin.

That's more like it.
Farewell, Robin.

Thank you.

I put something in your Bible
to remember us by.

I love you.

I love you.

(SIGHS)

Crusoe!

(GROANING)

Is that from
the arrow?

No, it's nothing.
No, let me see.

I'm the surgeon.

What? And you can bandage better
with one arm than I can with two?

Yes, like you can climb a cliff
alone better than with my help.

(PANTING)

OLMA: It is noble to see someone
risking so much for a friend.

(GRUNTS) Okay.

CRUSOE: If Friday recovers, promise me
you won't tell him how worried I was.

(CHUCKLES) I'll never
hear the last of it.

You don't think we're
too late, do you?

(BOTH GASP)

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMS)

A dungeon horrible
on all sides round.

As one great furnace flamed.

Obdurate pride.

Steadfast hate.

You're ill.

Listen to me, Friday.

OLMA: Friday,
we have a cure.

Friday?

You're my brother.

Remember the boats and the tree?
Yes, you do.

Remember the dogs
and the games?

You trip me, I trip you.

The dogs.
The dogs.

That's right. Remember the caves?
Returning the bones?

It's Crusoe
and it's Friday.

Obdurate pride.

You have to trust me.
We have an antidote.

You have to drink it
or you could die.

(YELLS)

(MOANS)

Friday, no!

Father.

Please.

Are you all right?

(GROANS)

We've got to find him.

Half in here. We'll split
up, cover more area.

Half? He needs
all of it.

Fine then, I'll take it.
You stay here.

What if you go the wrong way, or the
right way, and he attacks you again?

He's dying.

Does he give up if he sets
his mind to something?

Does he?

I am not waiting here.
I can't do nothing.

If he's still alive he
will come back, won't he?

He's sworn to kill you.
It's our only hope.

Hope! I haven't done nothing but
hope for the last six years.

Nothing but "maybe"
and "if."

Nothing but...
Nothing!

(EXCLAIMS)

God can't keep taking
people away from me.

Robin.

(SOBBING)

No.

No, no, not this.

Robin.
Crusoe.

It's Crusoe.

Friday!

So, you let him
kill you?

Stand away from me.

If he tries to kill me, at
least I'll know where he's at.

And if he succeeds, he'll drop his weapon
and you can give him the antidote.

You'd die to save him.

Yes, I would.

Your friend is right,
you're so simple!

Go on! Kill him!

Put him out of
his misery.

I need your help.

You said you didn't want to have your
work undone by ignorance, remember?

Friday deserves to live.

Maybe, I don't.
But he does.

Help me?

Friday!
You want Crusoe dead?

I will kill your traitor.

(PANTING)

You're not the only one
he has badly used.

(GRUNTS)

Father.

(GRUNTS)

Give me the antidote.

Come on,
come on, Friday.

Drink.

Are we in time?

We're lucky our
charade worked.

You were lucky.

For a moment I was thinking of putting
a musket ball in, not just gun powder.

It didn't only
come from me.

I love Susannah.

I made a vow before God
and for my whole life.

You could be rotting half
way down a cliff right now.

Your wife may be in London...
No, don't.

Don't.

I never let men near me.

Don't make me feel like
the temptress, Crusoe.

Crusoe.

(GROANING)

Did I win your bed
in a game?

I do not like it.

Well, you'll have to
win back yours.

I'm not feeling too well.

Will you read for me?

Just a minute.

You weren't
the temptress, but...

(SHUSHING)

For my disguise.

FRIDAY: Crusoe.

Thank you, Olivia.

Oliver.

I think I am
hallucinating.

I saw a woman walking
into the forest.

Sounds more like
a fantasy to me.

How about some
sonnets instead?

(CHUCKLES) Sonnets.
