[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[DOG GROWLING]
[SCREAM]
We must have sailed
round to the tree house.
- I just rob 'em and.
- Slit their throat.
[LAUGHTER]
Take her away.
I can't abide sick folk.
Help, help, murder.
Please don't hurt him.
Ben here tells me you'll
be a lad we can trust.
[WOOD CRACKING]
[WATER SPLASHING]
BONNIE MARY: Sam.
I fancy a bit of a dance.
[DOG GROWLING]
- Get that dog out.
- Of here a'fore I.
Get rid of it for good.
[THEME MUSIC]
[DOG BARKING]
Would madam care
for this dance?
Well, where's the music?
Oh.
Ladies?
Little music if you please.
(SINGING) There was a lass on
Richmond Hill as bright as May
day morn.
PARSONS: Captain!
Captain!
SAMUEL SCAGGS: What's your row?
Young Robinson's gone.
What?
PARSONS: He's not on the Viper.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON:
- Bruno, come back!
- SAMUEL SCAGGS:
- Find him, you hear?
There's a gold sovereign for
the man brings me his head.
Go!
David.
If they catch him,
they will kill him.
You see what happens
when they're opposed?
But now that Ernst is free,
they will be distracted.
We may have a chance to escape.
PARSONS: Watch him.
He's a dangerous brute.
What, him?
Tough, dangerous?
He murdered my brother.
What?
Murdered him his bare hands.
- You should hang him.
- It's not true!
- It's not true!
- PARSONS: Hang him, Sam!
- Or he'll kill you.
- No!
- SAMUEL SCAGGS:
- You hold your own.
- Hang him!
- Don't you give me no orders.
- But...
- I said hold.
There'll be no hanging.
I'll not hang a man
till he's been tried.
- We'll try him first.
- And then hang him.
[SNORTING]
[LAUGHTER]
ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER):
While Scaggs and his band
of cutthroats were
threatening my father's life,
Bruno, ever dependable, was
there, and played a key role
in saving my own life.
What.
What.
Bruno, what?
What is it?
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
[BANGING]
Pray silence for the Lord.
Chief Justice Samuel Scaggs.
- You monster!
- Joanna!
You monster!
Hold her, hold her!
If you harm my father,
I'll see you hang.
So you may as well
hang me as well.
Oh.
That can be arranged, my dear.
[PANTING]
[DOG GRUNTING]
- Do you think we.
- Lost them, Bruno?
[DOG GRUNTING]
[DOG WHINING]
Bring on the first witness.
Name?
Parsons, seaman on the
vessel Fury lost at sea.
And what's your charge
against the prisoner?
Murder.
It's not true!
It's not true!
[BANG]
Silence!
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Right.
I want you to go
over there, boy.
Good boy.
Go.
Go.
There's the dog again.
Over there.
After it!
He killed my brother,
Seth, with his bare hands.
Murdered him in cold
blood, I seen it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Go, boy.
Go, boy.
PARSONS: My brother Seth
was going past Robinson's
cabin when I hear Robinson call
out and accuse Seth of robbing
him.
Well, I got down there
as quick as I could.
But before I could get there,
I hear this yell and a crash.
When I get there, there's
my poor brother lying dead,
- his neck broke by.
- That murdering swine.
It's not true!
He's a liar!
[BANG]
Silence!
- PARSONS: Every.
- Word's true, Captain.
My mate Ben will tell you.
Won't you, Ben?
[FOOTSTEPS]
Sh.
Help me.
Emily, please.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No.
Well, now.
We've heard the evidence
against, haven't we?
And I have to say it looks
bad, very bad indeed.
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON: My.
- Father isn't a murderer!
I saw it.
I saw it.
- Oh, maybe so, young miss.
- But then you're his daughter.
- I don't think we could trust.
- Your evidence, could be?
- It's true.
- It is true.
Well, we'll just have to wait
and see what the murderer... oh,
I mean, what the
defendant has to say.
Call the prisoner.
- Would the prisoner.
- Approach the bench?
Come, sir.
It's your turn.
I won't take part
in this mockery.
[LAUGHS]
I'm the judge.
I can hang you all if I want.
This is between you and me.
My wife and children
have no part in it.
Come, now.
Let's hear your evidence.
Give Parsons a
run for his money.
Protest, sir.
I want to hear your
evidence before I hang you.
Plead, beg for your life.
Beg you?
Never.
Plead, damn you.
No!
No!
[CLATTER]
- Stand back.
- Ernst.
Ernst.
[SCREECH]
Lower your weapon.
Release my family.
Drop your pistol
or your father dies.
[BIRD SCREECHING]
- ERNST ROBINSON: Make him.
- Lower his pistol, sir.
Or you die.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Now lads, lads.
Let's not do anything hasty.
Shoot him, Ernst.
Shoot the devil.
Now hold, hold.
Let's settle this like mates.
It's only a joke, bit of fun.
But of course I'll let him go.
Lower your weapon, young sir.
I beg you.
Keep back!
Ernst!
[SMACK]
[GUNSHOT]
Ernst!
[SCREAM]
ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Ernst!
Shoot.
Shoot the devil.
- If I thought of.
- Letting you go before.
Because I'm a generous cove,
oh, you're done for it now.
[BANG]
Guilty!
You'll hang by the neck,
be drawn, quartered,
and fed to the fish in pieces!
PARSONS: Make it nice
and strong, lads.
We don't want no accidents.
[LAUGHTER]
What will happen to the
rest of the family, you think?
I don't know and I don't care.
I see you got dressed for
the hanging, mistress Mary.
Very elegant you look,
too, I might say.
Thank you, sir.
It's nice to meet a gentleman
among this riff raff.
It'll be a pleasure to serve
you, ma'am, when we set sail.
A stroll, my dear?
Captain Scaggs, sir.
May I have a word?
What's happening, Billy?
BILLY: They're building
a gallows, Miss Emily.
If we don't do something,
they'll hang Mr. Robinson.
Oh, Billy.
I'm frightened.
Please tell the captain, remind
him how much I'm worth alive.
Here.
Do you know what these are?
BILLY: Diamonds?
EMILY CHAN: Yes.
And they're yours, Billy, if
you help me to stay alive.
Spare 'em?
BEN THOMAS: Yes, Captain.
They haven't done anything, sir.
- It's the young lass.
- You mean, ain't it?
You're stuck on her.
We were friends on the ship.
She's a good girl, sir.
I wonder if you got the
mettle to be a pirate, sir.
- You sound too.
- Soft-hearted to me.
Listen who's talking.
Didn't you rescue
me, Sam Scaggs,
instead of letting me drown on
the ship with the rest of them?
SAMUEL SCAGGS: I
did, right enough.
I'm soft as goose down, me.
You're right.
You can have the lass.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[DRUM MUSIC]
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Now, sir.
Any last words before you
go to meet your maker?
Nothing to say, then?
No!
Elizabeth.
Please, sir.
Please have mercy
on him, please, sir!
Listen.
We can work for you.
We can farm and raise animals.
We can provide you with
everything that you need if...
If you will only leave us here
to farm and provide for you.
You could have your
own secret storehouse.
It's an idea, Sam.
Spare him?
- ELIZABETH ROBINSON: We.
- Need him to guide us.
BONNIE MARY: A
regular base where
we can rest and stock up,
instead of fleeing from place
to place avoiding the law.
That'd give us an edge, Sam.
Make us formidable.
We can provide for as
many ships as you want.
We can provide for other ships.
You could have a whole fleet.
Fleet?
Yes.
The like of which no
one has ever seen.
Under your command.
Samuel Scaggs, commander
of his own fleet.
Wouldn't that be something?
Yeah.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON:
It can be yours, sir.
We will help you with
my husband's guidance.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Release him.
He's not fit to hang.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's all right, Bruno.
We're going to be safe now.
We have to work for that
wicked man, but at least Papa
will be all right, and
we'll all be together.
BILLY: Christina?
Christina?
Go away.
Christina, I'm your friend.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You're not.
You deserted us!
No, I didn't.
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You're.
- Going off with that wicked men.
And his ship.
- I don't want to.
- Go with Scaggs.
I want to help.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You treated.
Mama and Papa like servants,
and after all they did for you.
BILLY: I'm trying to help you.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy?
Billy!
[DOG GROWLING]
Where's that boy?
Go on.
Go to your new master.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy!
[DOG WHINING]
I hate Billy, Bruno!
I hate him!
[ACCORDION MUSIC]
Hey.
What's that bloomin' row?
Play something jolly!
I want to dance!
Come on, woman.
Show me your paces, hey?
[ACCORDION MUSIC]
(SINGING) Drain, drain the bowl.
May the world wag as it will.
Let the heavens groan.
Let the devil how.
Drain, drain the bowl.
Drain, drain the bowl!
Hey!
Dance with your young man.
- JOANNA ROBINSON: He.
- Is not my young man.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Dance, wench!
[DOG GROWLING]
No.
Dance.
[DOG BARKING]
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Bruno.
Joanna.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[GIGGLING]
[CHICKEN SQUAWKING]
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Henrietta!
Leave her!
Leave her alone, you brute!
Leave her alone!
That's our Henrietta,
and you can't have her!
She's to eat in celebration.
Leave her alone!
Henrietta!
What's this about
a celebration?
The 4th of July.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: The 4th of July?
Well, what's that?
It's our national day
of American independence.
Ernst.
ERNST ROBINSON: I'm
all right, Mother.
What's happening?
Treachery, sir.
That's what's happening.
Treachery of the 4th of July.
DAVID ROBINSON: Nonsense.
It's not treachery to celebrate
the birth of one's own country.
America is not a country!
- It was stolen from.
- Us by traitors.
It belongs to England.
It was fought for and
won by our countrymen.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Traitors
and criminal, all of them.
- Never did know of.
- Brave British lads.
Slaughtering their own kin,
my granddad among them.
My ancestors died as well.
You will renounce
that cursed country.
I'll have no traitors here.
Fetch the book.
The book, Captain?
The Bible.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Swear loyalty to England
and good King George.
Oh, this is a joke.
A pirate demanding
oaths on the Bible?
- I am first and.
- Last an Englishman.
Now swear!
I will not.
Swear.
Renounce that vile,
traitorous country.
No, sir.
If If you think staying here and
growing crops for us will save
you, you better think again.
- This is treason, and.
- You will die for it.
DAVID ROBINSON: You can kill
me if you want but you can't
make me renounce my country.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Swear.
No, sir.
Swear, young madam.
Never.
I won't swear either.
All right.
Be shark's meat, the lot of you!
If sharks can stomach traitors.
Oh, Lord.
We ask you to deliver us from
out of the hands of evil.
Amen.
Amen.
David.
DAVID ROBINSON: Elizabeth.
You and the children must
go to that man Scaggs
and do as he says.
What?
Swear?
On the Bible?
It's only words, Joanna.
Words?
- But words are what.
- We live by, Father.
You've always taught us that.
The Bible is words, Papa.
God's words.
The only thing that
matters to me is your safety.
Elizabeth.
I won't go.
Nor will I.
Nor me.
They are your children, David.
You must not be surprised
if they follow your example.
Stay here?
Us?
You'll have the
house and you can
raise more crops and animals
for when we come back.
I'm not a farmer!
I'm a sailor!
I'd rather...
I know what you'd rather.
But you'll stay here or join the
rest at the bottom of the bay.
So what's it to be?
My quartermaster or fish bait?
[LAUGHTER]
Billy?
I have an idea.
How we might save everyone.
Everyone?
Yes, but I need your help.
That's not possible, Billy.
The Robinsons can't be saved.
Yes, yes they
can, with your help.
I can't.
I would if it were
possible, but I
don't want to make the captain
angry and get myself in danger.
He won't take you back.
What?
Why not?
- Because people.
- Would hear about us,
And they'd come and rescue us,
and then he'd be put in jail.
- But he promised.
- To take me back!
He promised!
Did you hear?
I'm to have your house when
you've been fed to the sharks.
[GIGGLING]
Take them down.
Get them on board.
Sh, Bruno.
Don't cry.
BILLY: Save us.
God, save us.
The pox!
The pox!
Save us!
The pox!
She has the pox!
Help.
Save me.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Emily.
Christina, no.
No, Christina.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy.
DAVID ROBINSON: Let her go.
If Emily has the pox,
we're all infected.
Smallpox?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
She's got the pox.
- Let's get out of here!
- BILLY: Captain!
- Take me!
- Take me!
Take me!
Billy, get away from me.
Wait!
Wait, Sam!
[GUNSHOT]
[SHRIEK]
Ah!
Parsons, wait for me!
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Pull, lads.
Pull!
Come on!
Pull!
Pull, you lubbers!
Pull!
PARSONS: Wait!
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Keep going, lads.
Keep going.
Oh.
They're going.
We're saved.
We're saved, Bruno!
We're saved.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Except...
- ERNST ROBINSON: Emily.
- Must have infected us all.
Billy.
It's all right, Miss Emily.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's not real.
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON:
- It was a trick!
It was a trick!
Emily.
It was Billy's idea.
Billy?
So you did it, Billy.
You saved us.
Thank you.
- ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER):
- With Billy's help,
Along with the dear.
Lord's, on Independence Day
we maintained our independence,
managing to survive yet
another ordeal which drew
us all closer together
and made us stronger.
Although the Viper sailed
away from our shores,
- somehow I have the.
- Ominous feeling.
That we have not seen
the last of Samuel Scaggs
and his cutthroat pirates.
Or Parsons and Ben,
for that matter,
though I am sure that Parsons
has other things on his mind.
I'm burning up.
It's hot.
No.
No, I got a fever.
Feel!
I was near him.
My face.
Is there a rash on my face?
No.
There's nothing.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
A toast to Billy, who set
us free and saved our island.
- To Billy.
- ELIZABETH ROBINSON: To Billy.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: To Billy.
DAVID ROBINSON: Billy.
Happy Independence Day.
You gave us independence.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Yes.
You did.
[DOG BARKING]
[LAUGHTER]
Well.
THEME SONG: Time to
go, a ship is leaving.
No time for breathing,
life goes on.
Hm.
Ah.
When I see we're on
the same fighting,
then it's time to leave.
Should have known how
the rain was falling.
Now we love so much more,
cause that's what life's for.
Get away.
Ah, ah.
We should get away.
This is the moment.
The day by day, the
world will go away.
With you by my side,
I know what is right.
And I will stay with
you, you decide.
We should get away.
Get away.
Get away from it all.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOG GROWLING]
[SCREAM]
We must have sailed
round to the tree house.
- I just rob 'em and.
- Slit their throat.
[LAUGHTER]
Take her away.
I can't abide sick folk.
Help, help, murder.
Please don't hurt him.
Ben here tells me you'll
be a lad we can trust.
[WOOD CRACKING]
[WATER SPLASHING]
BONNIE MARY: Sam.
I fancy a bit of a dance.
[DOG GROWLING]
- Get that dog out.
- Of here a'fore I.
Get rid of it for good.

Tough, dangerous?
He murdered my brother.

Murdered him his bare hands.

There'll be no hanging.
I'll not hang a man

Pray silence for the Lord.
Chief Justice Samuel Scaggs.

Hold her, hold her!
If you harm my father,
I'll see you hang.
So you may as well
hang me as well.
Oh.
That can be arranged, my dear.

BILLY: Christina?
Christina?
Go away.
Christina, I'm your friend.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You're not.
You deserted us!
No, I didn't.
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You're.
- Going off with that wicked men.
And his ship.
- I don't want to.
- Go with Scaggs.
I want to help.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: You treated.
Mama and Papa like servants,
and after all they did for you.
BILLY: I'm trying to help you.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy?
Billy!
[DOG GROWLING]
Where's that boy?
Go on.
Go to your new master.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy!
[DOG WHINING]
I hate Billy, Bruno!
I hate him!
[ACCORDION MUSIC]
Hey.
What's that bloomin' row?
Play something jolly!
I want to dance!
Come on, woman.
Show me your paces, hey?
[ACCORDION MUSIC]
(SINGING) Drain, drain the bowl.
May the world wag as it will.
Let the heavens groan.
Let the devil how.
Drain, drain the bowl.
Drain, drain the bowl!
Hey!
Dance with your young man.
- JOANNA ROBINSON: He.
- Is not my young man.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Dance, wench!
[DOG GROWLING]
No.
Dance.
[DOG BARKING]
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Bruno.
Joanna.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[GIGGLING]
[CHICKEN SQUAWKING]
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Henrietta!
Leave her!
Leave her alone, you brute!
Leave her alone!
That's our Henrietta,
and you can't have her!
She's to eat in celebration.
Leave her alone!
Henrietta!
What's this about
a celebration?
The 4th of July.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: The 4th of July?
Well, what's that?
It's our national day
of American independence.
Ernst.
ERNST ROBINSON: I'm
all right, Mother.
What's happening?
Treachery, sir.
That's what's happening.
Treachery of the 4th of July.
DAVID ROBINSON: Nonsense.
It's not treachery to celebrate
the birth of one's own country.
America is not a country!
- It was stolen from.
- Us by traitors.
It belongs to England.
It was fought for and
won by our countrymen.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Traitors
and criminal, all of them.
- Never did know of.
- Brave British lads.
Slaughtering their own kin,
my granddad among them.
My ancestors died as well.
You will renounce
that cursed country.
I'll have no traitors here.
Fetch the book.
The book, Captain?
The Bible.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Swear loyalty to England
and good King George.
Oh, this is a joke.
A pirate demanding
oaths on the Bible?
- I am first and.
- Last an Englishman.
Now swear!
I will not.
Swear.
Renounce that vile,
traitorous country.
No, sir.
If If you think staying here and
growing crops for us will save
you, you better think again.
- This is treason, and.
- You will die for it.
DAVID ROBINSON: You can kill
me if you want but you can't
make me renounce my country.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Swear.
No, sir.
Swear, young madam.
Never.
I won't swear either.
All right.
Be shark's meat, the lot of you!
If sharks can stomach traitors.
Oh, Lord.
We ask you to deliver us from
out of the hands of evil.
Amen.
Amen.
David.
DAVID ROBINSON: Elizabeth.
You and the children must
go to that man Scaggs
and do as he says.
What?
Swear?
On the Bible?
It's only words, Joanna.
Words?
- But words are what.
- We live by, Father.
You've always taught us that.
The Bible is words, Papa.
God's words.
The only thing that
matters to me is your safety.
Elizabeth.
I won't go.
Nor will I.
Nor me.
They are your children, David.
You must not be surprised
if they follow your example.
Stay here?
Us?
You'll have the
house and you can
raise more crops and animals
for when we come back.
I'm not a farmer!
I'm a sailor!
I'd rather...
I know what you'd rather.
But you'll stay here or join the
rest at the bottom of the bay.
So what's it to be?
My quartermaster or fish bait?
[LAUGHTER]
Billy?
I have an idea.
How we might save everyone.
Everyone?
Yes, but I need your help.
That's not possible, Billy.
The Robinsons can't be saved.
Yes, yes they
can, with your help.
I can't.
I would if it were
possible, but I
don't want to make the captain
angry and get myself in danger.
He won't take you back.
What?
Why not?
- Because people.
- Would hear about us,
And they'd come and rescue us,
and then he'd be put in jail.
- But he promised.
- To take me back!
He promised!
Did you hear?
I'm to have your house when
you've been fed to the sharks.
[GIGGLING]
Take them down.
Get them on board.
Sh, Bruno.
Don't cry.
BILLY: Save us.
God, save us.
The pox!
The pox!
Save us!
The pox!
She has the pox!
Help.
Save me.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: Emily.
Christina, no.
No, Christina.
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Billy.
DAVID ROBINSON: Let her go.
If Emily has the pox,
we're all infected.
Smallpox?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
She's got the pox.
- Let's get out of here!
- BILLY: Captain!
- Take me!
- Take me!
Take me!
Billy, get away from me.
Wait!
Wait, Sam!
[GUNSHOT]
[SHRIEK]
Ah!
Parsons, wait for me!
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Pull, lads.
Pull!
Come on!
Pull!
Pull, you lubbers!
Pull!
PARSONS: Wait!
SAMUEL SCAGGS: Keep going, lads.
Keep going.
Oh.
They're going.
We're saved.
We're saved, Bruno!
We're saved.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Except...
- ERNST ROBINSON: Emily.
- Must have infected us all.
Billy.
It's all right, Miss Emily.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's not real.
- CHRISTINA ROBINSON:
- It was a trick!
It was a trick!
Emily.
It was Billy's idea.
Billy?
So you did it, Billy.
You saved us.
Thank you.
- ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER):
- With Billy's help,
Along with the dear.
Lord's, on Independence Day
we maintained our independence,
managing to survive yet
another ordeal which drew
us all closer together
and made us stronger.
Although the Viper sailed
away from our shores,
- somehow I have the.
- Ominous feeling.
That we have not seen
the last of Samuel Scaggs
and his cutthroat pirates.
Or Parsons and Ben,
for that matter,
though I am sure that Parsons
has other things on his mind.
I'm burning up.
It's hot.
No.
No, I got a fever.
Feel!
I was near him.
My face.
Is there a rash on my face?
No.
There's nothing.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
A toast to Billy, who set
us free and saved our island.
- To Billy.
- ELIZABETH ROBINSON: To Billy.
CHRISTINA ROBINSON: To Billy.
DAVID ROBINSON: Billy.
Happy Independence Day.
You gave us independence.
ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Yes.
You did.
[DOG BARKING]
[LAUGHTER]
Well.
THEME SONG: Time to
go, a ship is leaving.
No time for breathing,
life goes on.
Hm.
Ah.
When I see we're on
the same fighting,
then it's time to leave.
Should have known how
the rain was falling.
Now we love so much more,
cause that's what life's for.
Get away.
Ah, ah.
We should get away.
This is the moment.
The day by day, the
world will go away.
With you by my side,
I know what is right.
And I will stay with
you, you decide.
We should get away.
Get away.
Get away from it all.
