Treasure Island Page #3

---

It's that boy has stolen it.

That boy and that woman.

He's legged it!

Then search for them!

And you find them and kill them.

- Jim.

- They'll be near.

Find her!

- Take the money and run.

- No, please. Come on.

That's it, reports are coming.

I've got you now!

I have the boy here!

Are you the boy?!

Over there, hunt him down!

Are you safe?

- Is your mother safe?

- Jim.

We're fine.

Your mother's going to

sleep upstairs.

You can sleep here.

You still miss her, Doctor?

Two years, Jim, now.

And the baby.

What's that?

I think it's what

Flint's crew were after.

"12th June 1745, off Caracas."

7,000.

You see here,

this is latitude and longitude.

- It's like an account book.

- That's exactly it.

It's Flint's tally

of the ships he's taken.

The money here, 3,000 here, 10,000.

Let me see.

These markings.

Doctor, I heard Bones

tell that Black Dog

Flint had hidden his treasure

and made a map.

- This is Flint's map?

- It has to be.

This is Flint here?

Oh, Jim. Oh, no, Jim.

This is fortune.

I must collect myself.

If this book is what is buried here,

there must be more money

than men like us,

men like your father

would see in an eternity.

My mother would want for nothing.

No.

We would all be free.

All of us,

free of these lives we lead.

Free to be as... gentlemen.

- Will we go?

- We must go.

Have you sailed?

No, but I have maps of the seas,

I have knowledge

of how the world works.

And the world works best

when there is a plan.

I will plan a venture, Jim Hawkins,

and we will both profit wildly.

Trust me, boy.

- This is genuine?

- Yes.

My proposition, Squire Trelawney,

is that I'll hire a sea captain,

Jim and I,

crew a schooner out of Bristol,

equip it for the purpose

of excavation.

And set out on an expedition

for this island

which I believe to be here,

just here.

In the West Indies.

For which a request

capital of 1,000.

The return on which

I guarantee... at 500%.

Not a punt, sir, guarantee.

I'm equipped to lead the expedition

for I served as medical officer

with the Duke of Cumberland

at Fontenoy.

How much are you expecting to find

on Captain Flint's island?

We don't want to say, sir.

Young Mr Hawkins, whose father was

always in arrears on the Benbow.

He borrowed money from me also,

isn't that not so?

That is so.

300,000.

I know of a sea captain

called Smollett, sir,

who's of the highest reputation.

Having served under Admiral Hawke

before he came a merchantman.

Get him to Bristol

as soon as you can.

I'll be taking rooms at the George.

Good news,

I will be financing the venture.

And I will be commanding it myself,

I hope that's agreeable?

It's most agreeable.
