Captain Blood Page #3

Synopsis: Arrested during the Monmouth Rebellion and falsely convicted of treason, Dr. Peter Blood is banished to the West Indies and sold into slavery. In Port Royal, Jamaica the Governor's daughter Arabella Bishop buys him for £10 to spite her uncle, Col. Bishop who owns a major plantation. Life is hard for the men and for Blood as well. By chance he treats the Governor's gout and is soon part of the medical service. He dreams of freedom and when the opportunity strikes, he and his friends rebel taking over a Spanish ship that has attacked the city. Soon, they are the most feared pirates on the seas, men without a country attacking all ships. When Arabella is prisoner, Blood decides to return her to Port Royal only to find that it is under the control of England's new enemy, France. All of them must decide if they are to fight for their new King.

my friends...

one well worthy of King James.

He spares us the mercifully quick

extinction of the hangman's rope...

and gives the slow death of slavery.

He grants us our lives

in exchange for a living death.

lt's an uncertain world entirely.

''Be it known, men, that these prisoners

who stand before you...

''are now to be sold at a right

and fitting price.

''They may be put to labor

in the sulfur mines...

''or on the plantations

for a period of 10 years.

''And the parties

to whom they are assigned...

''must enter into security

for the proper punishment...

''of their offense.''

His Excellency, the Governor of Port Royal.

Guards, attention! Present muskets.

Good day, Captain. Lovely day, isn't it?

Or is it?

-Good day, Dixon.

-Good day, Governor.

I suppose we can begin this sale now,

Governor.

No, better wait for Col. Bishop.

He has the privilege

of being late for everything.

Yes, I know.

There he is.

-Good afternoon, Col. Bishop.

-Good afternoon, Governor.

Good afternoon, Miss Arabella.

How is my darling, the Governor,

and his foot?

Every day I think my gout

can't get any worse...

and every day it does.

My dear Colonel,

according to the King's request...

it is for you to take first choice

of this dainty nosegay...

and at your own price.

Egad, they're an appalling lot...

not likely to be of much value

on the plantation.

The less you want, the more for Dixon.

-Dixon? Uncle, I wish you'd buy them all.

-Buy them all?

To keep them out of Dixon's hands.

I perceive somebody's been talking

behind my back...

telling the truth.

-And you can joke.

-Arabella dear, don't be childish.

These men are rebels against their king.

They should be hanged, drawn,

and quartered.

-Any fate they meet is too good for them.

-Your uncle is right.

-Let the sale commence.

-My foot!

My dear, the law is the law,

and it's His Majesty's law...

and must be obeyed.

The best of the lot.

Open your mouth.

-20.

-Sold!

Sold to Col. Bishop for 20.

-As if he were buying horses.

-Yes, quite.

-Same price.

-This is Jeremy Pitt, ship's pilot...

young and sturdy.

-Same price.

-Sold!

Sold to Col. Bishop for 20.

Quiet!

Open your mouth.

His pride has bought him a ticket

to Dixon's mines.

He isn't there yet.

-My dear, consider your social position!

-Uncle!

-Which one?

-That one.

-Him? I will not.

-But I want you to.

No. Let him cool his head

in Dixon's mines. I'll have none of him.

-5.

-5? That's an insulting sum to offer.

-Does anyone offer more?

-6.

7.

You're making an exhibition of yourself...

a girl like you,

bidding for a slave before these people.

-Will you buy him?

-Certainly not.

8.

When a lady's interested in a man....
