Lord we don't pray
for shipwrecks to come but if it were to happen,
so that you guide them near the Cornish coast
for the benefit of its inhabitants who live in poverty. So were the prayers
of Cornwall in the 19th. But in this lawless region
from England, before the coastal brigades
not be established, there were gangs that,
by virtue of plunder, deliberately provoked
the shipwrecked, driving the vessels
to their loss on the cruel reefs
Cornish coast. - Do you see this light?
- Yes ! - We were l
ucky !
- Thank the Lord! I lost it ! - Do you see her ?
- Nope. - Yet she must be there!
- I see nothing ! I don't want any survivors! You hear ! None ! The horses are loaded,
carry the rest yourself. Come on, let's go home! Take it all away
to the hills, come on! - Are you sure that no one slipped away?
- I answer for it, Doc! I answer! I thought you were sure, you fool! Do you have blurred vision?
Do you want to bring us down? I do not like it at all,
this place is freaking me out! The Jamaica
Inn,
which name ! It's happening
strange things. I wouldn't stop there
even if I was paid double. The Jamaica Inn,
it's nice here ? It's still far away ? Come on ! Come on, faster! Why are we going so fast?
What's gotten into them? This is the Jamaica hostel! This is where I get off! Check, stop!
I want to get off ! Why don't you
don't you stop? Are you deaf? I missed the hostel.
Turn around and bring me back. You better go
to Pengallon, my pretty. Here is your trunk. Let's raise our glasses
to
Sir Humphrey! To Sir Humphrey! How ? Oh yes...
To Pengallon! Thank you ! Let's also drink to His Majesty
King George IV. Thank God ! I don't see this big fool
For years ! You once loved his company,
is it not Sir Humphrey? Yes, but at the time,
he was still a gentleman. Today this big bag
think only of stuffing yourself Lord George, Madeira... Last summer we did
around the lakes. Sir Humphrey, which
do you admire the most? Chadwick! Which one did I like the most? Windemere, sir. Yes, it is very
beautiful!
Let's raise our glasses to her beauty. Why not ?
Bring me my figurine, I need inspiration. - That's beauty!
- But this beauty is not alive! More alive than half of my
guests, look at them! You want to see
a living beauty? Chadwick! Ask Sam if Nancy
will be ready soon. The most beautiful creature
from Cornwall. You see, Lady Baxton, there you go
why he doesn't want to come to London anymore it shelters a girl, the monster! So I don't prefer
not know her! Me yes. But of course.
Bring h
er, Pengallan. Here it is !
My exquisite Nancy. She brought me 100 guineas yesterday
steeplechase. Chadwick!
What is that ? She's a woman, sir. Well don't argue with
your women when I receive! The coachman left me in the lurch.
Can your master help me? I will see that.
Rigwort! I bet 20 guineas
that she is ugly. I take the bet! You would oblige me by leaving me
take that coat off of you. But why ? I made a bet. I am your servant here.
Allow me. You have a perfect line,
my dear. You are beautiful
! Ringwood!
You have won. Hold ! She advances in beauty, like the night,
cloudless and full of stars. The heavens as well as the best
dark and light, here, join in his gait and in his eyes. But I didn't come to listen
some poetry. I would need a horse. Horse ?
To hell with the poetry of Lord Byron. You will have your horse. I am Sir Humphrey Pengallon. Lord of Pengallan
and justice of the peace. Mary Yellan from Ireland. - And where are you going?
- At the Jamaica Inn. It's impossible. Why ? Sa
t !
This young person asks why can't she go
at the Jamaica Inn. It's not a popular place
for a lady. You see,
even Sam knows it. You better stay. I left Ireland
because I no longer have any family there. Your parents ? I'm going to find my aunt Patience
at the Jamaica Inn. What a beautiful horse! Could you mount it? Sure.
I have been riding since my childhood. You will ride it to the inn. Thank you.
But I also have a trunk. I will bring your trunk
with your parents. Sam, go saddle Isabelle. Chad
wick, this is Mary Yellen
who goes to the inn. I don't understand, sir. You never understand anything.
This lady is my friend. If she came back at any hour,
welcome her properly bring me my coat
as well as a shawl for the lady. Excuse me a moment. I want hot brandy
on my return And make sure we put
a hot water bottle in my bed. All right, Sir Humphrey. If you allow it,
I'm going to get the shawl. But it's useless! If I can be of help to you
call me. Remember, my name is Pengallon.
On my land. -
Do not forget.
- Oh no. - Good night, Miss Yellen.
- Good night, Sir Humprey. Who is here ? You wish? Mrs Patience Merlyn
live well here? Maybe yes,
maybe not. - That is why ?
- I am his niece, I come from Ireland to live here. What ? Who invited you? It's my business!
Please notify your master. Won't you kiss me first? you will regret it
when I have discussed it with my uncle. I'll have you chased away! It would hurt
to your aunt. Let me through, I... Yes, you guessed it!
I'm Uncle Joss. And Th
ere you go ! Who is it ? You clearly see. Aunt Patience! Mary, my sister's daughter! - Do you recognize me, Aunt Patience?
- Yes my darling. You look so much like your mother. When I heard your voice,
I thought it was her. And seeing you, I thought... She says you were waiting for her to arrive
and that she is going to live here. No, Joss, not at all! Yet I wrote to you. I did not receive anything, You wrote ? Mary,
you are in black! Yes, mom is dead
3 weeks ago. I'm going to go have a drink. Ho
w did it happen ? She wasn't well, but she left
the bed to work. You know how she was. Patience ! stop chatting
and go get his trunk. Yes, Joss. No, I will! Soft ! Your uncle is a gentleman.
He won't admit a pretty girl her pretty hands are damaged. He's not like that, Joss! Come on, Patience! - I will help you.
- I can manage, it's not heavy. You should be ashamed ! Thanks for the compliment. Our Mary is a little sad tonight. It's hard to be in a good mood
empty stomach. Take it! I'll cook you.
Mary, come with me. I have a minute.
Rest. I'm going to set the table. No, you must be tired
after this long journey. It will be fine,
where are the cutlery? In the middle drawer. It's nothing. These are the customers in the room. Calm down! Do not speak so loud !
We have visitors. Harry told us. And she don't look bad
from what I've seen. You only think about girls
the flesh is vain. Follow petticoats on the way
of eternal damnation... - Salvation preaches!
- Go ahead, laugh. You will laugh le
ss when you burn
in hell, like the others, and me too. Where are you going Harry? - Pay my respects.
- She's too good for you. And me ?
I have new cuffs! Do you reserve it? I hadn't thought of that.
I will think about it. You heard me ? It's okay, Joss. And then she's my wife's niece. Should have said it earlier! It's my business, Harry. I knew an Irish girl
she had a funny accent. But it wasn't awesome. You didn't see me like this
is not it ? I was just a child
when you left. I have memories, t
hat's all. And how was I then? You were so beautiful! Truly ? I suppose so. Your mother surely told you everything
about me. You think I regret
to run away? Well you're wrong
Joss is a very good husband. I will never change my mind. It's hard as a job.
And it's risky too. We'll all end up in irons for that,
one day...in single file. And what do we win ?
Three times nothing. Not even what
feed properly. That last shot didn't get us
reported what he should have. It's what you say ? No, that's what
Sydney says! - Still opening it?
- No, Mr. Merlyn, I swear. So you're good at math. You turn the heads of poor guys
who can't even read. You will see carrion! You have to take inventory,
not fix prices. One minute Joe! It's me who says that we
don't earn enough. - It's you ?
- Judging by our part. Maybe we don't pay you
the goods properly. Maybe there is a leak
somewhere. You look thoughtful, Harry,
can you give us your opinion? If you have one! When on the run,
I think that's the word... Do no
t be shy,
we would be happy to hear from you. - I don't know, Joss.
- Maybe I am. And if there was a leak, suppose a few
goods are lost A dizzy might mislead
one or two things returning from the shipwreck.
You never thought about it? Since when
are you with me, harry? About 5 years. Salvation? Our lost souls wander together
for two years and seven months. Almost two and a half years. Dandy? Wait... At the time,
I was with a hell of a hen, here she is, Annie,
It's been 4 years, Joss. And you? I w
ill tell them.
Mr. Trehearne has been with us for two very long 2 months. Eight weeks, 56 days. what do you say
of this calculation? What do you say, huh? Go away ! Joss, please! What is going on ? Mary came here
with Pengallon. He asked her why
she was coming here. And he asked him about us. You think he suspects
of something ? how did you meet
Sir Humphrey? The diligence dropped me off,
I asked him for help. He was very kind to me. He knows how to hold himself. And he left me
ride his mare, wh
o won 100 guineas
steeplechase. It hasn't been very brilliant, sir. The wind was blowing hard and
the boat broke in two. Take a pair of scissors, Merlyn. Why did you leave
bloody ? Cut me that!
Do you think you are at the slaughterhouse? It was work for a butcher. Why did you free them
of their misery? Look at this fabric, It's worth the life
a hundred dead drunken sailors. it gives him perfection. That's all that matters, Merlyn.
Perfection. I will take it all away
from Bristol to Botany Bay to
relieve a beautiful woman
of his migraine. You can not understand, because you are not a philosopher
nor a gentleman. Are there any survivors? Certain sir.
And I'm sorry about the girl. We didn't know he was coming.
I'm taking it tomorrow morning. Make a fire. We're freezing here. Give me a drink. I didn't expect you so soon
I would have lit. It would be silly on such a night. Wasn't it risky
with the men here and Patience? Everything is risky. She has character, this Mary. I take care of it.
I
will hold it as Patience. Everything is here. They don't look alike. Patience was a real beauty
when we got married. - I remember...
- This is not enough. Indeed, I hope better
the next time. The men are getting impatient
and wonder where the money is going. To do what ? Destroy yourself with this twisted gut
what do you sell them? I know how to make money
that's why I need it. - You understand ? I have to keep it.
- Yes sir. Are we expecting others? I was thinking of Mary. Why hunt her before
that she did not see the region? She can stay provided
that she doesn't bother us. In your rooms.
Patience, bring up his dinner. Try to sleep, darling.
You must be tired. - Look !
- How much does he have? You were right, Joss!
You see, 15 pounds in gold. Didn't I tell you? There you go, Trehearne. ! What do you have to say? Give me a drink.
Choking makes you thirsty. Thomas,
if you want to serve sir! My instincts are good
Mr. Trehearne. Where did you find this? Savings. You sold goods
on the sly
! You shame me, Mr. Trehearne. Shame is the word. Take the bread out of your mouth
of your comrades. It was him ! It's wrong ! He doesn't care about you!
Who pays ? Where do the spoils go?
according to you ? You think Joss
get rid of it on your own? Ask him, who... He has his account. Dirty thief! - He looked for it.
- He'll see what we'll do to him. What are we waiting for ? Find me a nice pulley. about two meters above the ground. I will keep women away. No need for them to snoop around. They
found gold
on him. Do you know anything about him? It happened two months ago
recommended by a friend. - You can't put it outside
- the men want to hang him. Truly ? It's a little formal! The pistol...
No, too loud. Let's not worry
your wife's niece. Go for the rope! You don't have to go there.
Tell them. I need to talk to you. Go for it.
I'm going down right away. Franck, Salvation, bring it! Stay there, y'all. No need for curious. It's private. If you want to see an execution,
it will come, S
yd, and you will have the best place... the rope around the neck. Clear ! It's not your age. - What about Joss?
- He told us to do it. - Here, Harry?
- Yes, there is plenty of room. If we have to do it, do it well. - Bring it quickly,
- Before he comes to himself! I disagree, Thomas. It's better.
He won't notice anything. It's wrong to kill someone
without him knowing. It's not worthy of a Christian. Gotta give it a chance
to meditate on his life. It would be like killing him
in cold blood. Come
on, it's heavy. What do you say, Harry? That you should shut up
both. Again, Dandy?
Do you only think about flying? We'll toss her curls to the flip of a coin
when I say so. A little bit of light. All together ! Get them back, Harry! - Strangle him!
- Come on, Harry! The farm where you will see! Leave, they will come back! Make an effort, please. Don't stay here, run away! I don't want to leave
Aunt Patience. Hurry up. Quickly ! Before Joss... There you are my beauty! You wished
good night Pati
ence? I thought a lot.
I said to myself : she is a very sweet girl
and with personality. It would be a shame to send it back
without her knowing the area. She can stay
as long as she wants. Joss, come down! We took him, Joss. - Who did that ?
- Angels. Of course they took him. Except they took him away alive! Mary, is that you? You must leave immediately. Leave Jamaica Inn
on the field. It's this one. That damn girl
I will kill her! Please go away
before Joss goes up. Where is this girl? Where i
s she ? You let him go! Thomas, take a lamp
and search the stable. Harry, help me search. We can't stay here.
Let's go. But where ? I know a quiet place. We'll hide there for a while. Jump, quick. - Joss, shall I search the attic?
- No, the court! We will even find them
if we have to spend the night there. - Nothing.
- They escaped. Always nothing ? Let's find them or it's the rope. Harry, go along the coast
with two men. Thomas, find help in the village. Search the swamps. - What are you going
to do, Joss?
- Follow the road. - It's late, sir.
- She was lovely, Chadwick. The butcher came during your dinner,
he claimed his due. What a job!
You have to live well. It's horrible, to dismember
corpse after corpse. - You have to live well.
- Even them? We owe him 40 pounds
and 35 at the baker. - You see... butcher, baker... Stop rambling, old fool! I'm sorry Chadwick,
you were only doing your duty. Nothing more, Master Humphrey. These outbursts from me
are inexcusable. But what is happening
to me! By the way Chadwick,
what happened to my grandfather? He was crazy, right? You can leave, Chadwick. Go to bed. I told you more than a hundred times
not to come here! Yes, but Trehearne got away. The girl freed him. I was with you. - Where is the girl ?
- She ran away too. A massive leak, one would say.
Your wife stayed, I hope? Men are looking for them. And that's why you're here? Sorry, but this guy knows too much. If he rats us out... You're losing your temper, Merlyn!
He will come to s
peak here. I represent justice. Fill your end of the bargain
and I will fill mine. Without me,
you will see no more shipwrecks. Without a brain, the body dies. And you don't have to remember
that in this organization, your men and you,
you are only carcass. - The brain, here it is.
- I just wanted to warn you. Will you stop? If you want the timetables,
obey. And don't come back. Go away! Come back! - Where are you going ?
- Let me go ! You don't even know how to row. Leave me alone ! Aren't you
afraid of me? Women save your life
and are terrified afterwards! I may not be pretty
but I don't bite. You think I don't know
that my aunt fears for her life and what happens at the inn? What are we doing there? You are thieves and murderers
and I'm leaving! Looked ! Harry, over here! It's rather telling, isn't it? It's from the cave! Tell your brother to take you
take a boat trip. - You follow me ?
- Yes. Me too !
I saw her first. Go tell Joss
that we hold them. Dandy, find a rope. This way. It
wasn't smart. The tide is going out and it will
night when she comes back up. We darkened, without a boat. You will have to run when
the tide will have ebbed. And with a woman...
This is my chance! Yes, you saved my life. Make better use of it. Waste of time for a guy
like me. - I do not doubt it.
- A thief and murderers... - Definitely.
- Is there hope? What should I do ? What sings to you! I could go back to sea. - It does not interest me.
- It should Without you, I wouldn't be here.
Don't sa
y otherwise. Once saved,
I will defer to you. Shut up ! Smile, we will have... Take the book, Trehearne,
page 13 there is a very beautiful hymn. "On the verge of death,
I find myself shaking." It will help you. Dying becomes pleasant,
according to him. Sweet couple !
Too bad to disturb you. Watch out below! She first, or you do
the ride first? Women first, they say. - What are we going to do ?
- They know we're stuck. In case you need
help, your old friend Thomas is coming down
give you a hand.
He has his account. Someone else ? - We like company.
- You will. It will be my pleasure, Harry. Next ! Take this and tie her to the rock. You heard ?
There is only one way out. Do you know how to swim ? To make you happy,
we're going down to three! - Leave without me.
- Do you know how to swim ? I would be a constraint,
It will be hard enough on its own. I will be fine.
Joss won't do anything to me. - Do you know how to swim ?
- A little. Take your dress off, quick! I can't ! So I will. I can't
wait to finish it!
I did not sleep. We will sleep well. And the girl, Harry?
Do we deliver it to Joss? Let's go! So, Mr. Trehearne... You are doing very well. It's funny, it's the first time
that I see a woman swimming. She is cold ! They send a boat.
She comes towards us. The rocks !
Hold on to me. How are you ? - Hold on tight.
- I can't. - You'll get there.
- No, I'm sinking! Hang on. Darlond! Hello Darland. I haven't tasted your jenever
This year. So ? - I am missing three books.
- I told y
ou... Calm down, Davis!
I want money. I have a certain lifestyle. Explain yourself. My son has a sick leg
which does not heal. Take him to Dr Macintosh
let him examine his leg. - The three books will wait.
- Thank you. - His receipt...
- I told you... Receipt ! His ancestors cultivated
already the lands of mine. Yours were vagabonds.
Following. - Where are we going ?
- Towards the road. Wait !
Whom does this house belong to ? - To the judge.
- Sir Humphrey? I know him.
I was there last night. He
will be ready to help us. He's the man I told you about. Birdkin, Sir,
a vulgar radicalist. So what, Birdkin? I came to assert my rights. Your rights don't interest me. - The law is on my side.
- Error. I am the law and I will not be
on your side if you talk to me like that. Soon you'll say you're worth
better than me. I am a man like you. Get that out of your head
before I get mad. You will never match me. You have nothing for you,
and this since your birth. - And I'm a gentleman.
- A sort of.
.. Let him go, Davis! And subtract 24 hours from it. Do you mind, Squile Pengallon? But it's Grandma Tremany! Yes, your Honor.
This is my roof... I told mr davis,
but he doesn't listen to me and it leaks all the time. Give it a new roof, Davis! I said a new roof! She's my oldest landlady. As long as I live
she will be safe. Who else can boast
not to be marquised and bet for 10 years
without having any debt? As long as I have a roof,
her too. - I have to see Sir Humphrey...
- What is going on ? I
ts very important. My dear child!
What is going on ? You are soaked! Chadwick, fetch Mrs. Black
and close the door. Tell them to go, Davis.
Again. You are blue with cold. What happened ? - We had to swim.
- To save us. Who is it ? Jem Trehearne. We fled the inn that night. It's an awful place,
a den of smugglers. They almost killed him. She saved my life. It's extraordinary ! We need help. - My aunt... If you only knew!
- You will tell me everything, first of all, go change. Mrs. Black, take thi
s young lady
and give him dry clothes. Very good sir.
Over here, miss. - Can I talk to you ?
- Sure. We will see what can be done. - Thank you, you are so kind.
- It's nothing. Sir... Chadwick, give him
beer and bread. I will see you later. This strait is of a nature
disastrous. No one knows
more accidents and storms. We have goosebumps
just looking at the water. Captain Murray,
you stay for dinner. - Your table is famous.
- I hope so ! But my ship is waiting for me
in Falmouth this afternoon. I
'll pass off when
you will drink your port of the evening. I have no doubt about it. I need to talk to you! - I listen.
- In private. I have nothing to hide from these gentlemen.. You are part of the gang
smugglers, so what? You wouldn't have brought
brandy by chance? I have a list right here. Would you kindly
to remember that I am a judge! These Brandies should
interest you. "James Trehearne
court officer" Gentlemen, I have to deal
this matter in private. Follow me. For God's sake, Pengallan...
Find me a good one
or I denounce you. I will see to it. I served beer and bread
at the stable. Truly ? It will eventually be chicken, and here. And donate clothes
to Mr. Trehearne. Those of Lord George
should fit her perfectly. - For this gentleman?
- Come on, hurry up! Sorry, I didn't know who you were.
How about a Brandy? - Waiting for the clothes.
- Thank you. You're welcome. Come in. I am a lieutenant
of Her Majesty's Navy. I enlisted in England. I had to conceal my identity. Surely you hav
e
good reasons. But swallow this brandy.
I have always admired the Navy. I knew Collingwood,
a nice person. They all were. a little dry,
But we can not have everything. What is it about ?
Contraband? It's worse than that, sir. Organized shipwrecks. - Sky ! But not here.
- Yes, on this coast. There have always been shipwrecks,
the coast is dangerous! It was discovered that these shipwrecks
had one thing in common. Truly ? So drink. I believe I will accompany you.
The morning was hectic. What is t
his feature
shipwrecks? There are never any survivors. Mr. Trehearne... If you're telling the truth, it's the most horrible thing
that I have heard. I have already consulted the authorities. The organizers know everything
on boat movements... Captain Mowry
want to take time off. - You permit.
- You are welcome. I will join my boat.
You receive like a prince. Goodbye, captain. I will be back, sir.
I'll be back. I will think of you,
with all this wind, drinking my evening port. - Its good ?
- Very
. Mr Trehearne,
please continue. The lair is at
Jamaica Inn. Merlyn is the boss. The shipwreck
of yesterday is the work of his men. Were you there? No, thank God
I stayed at the base. I helped unloading. Did you report
to your superiors? Not yet. I'm chasing a bigger fish
than Merlyn. I do not follow you.
You say he's the boss. At the hostel, yes but he receives
orders from outside. Things are thought out for him,
outside. By who ? I do not know.
Even his wife doesn't know. And the band too. But
it's this man
what we need. Yes, Joss warned the guys.
There will be a shipwreck tonight. But he won't do anything without orders
real leader. And for that he will go
to Jamaica tonight. - We'll get there before.
- Not alone. lend me a horse
and I'll go get reinforcements. It would take too long
he must not escape. We leave for the hostel
and my groom will carry the message. Serve yourself. Merlyn's Sidekicks
will come later. Between us, we can act
before the reinforcements. - If you're ready,
I am.
- It's very moving, all that. Come in ! Chadwick,
money or your Life ? Clothes. I said nothing
to Lord George. Who commands the garrison? Captain Boyle!
An Irishman, I believe. - The ideal man
- I'll write to him. I take care of it. See if these clothes
are your size. To the attention of Captain Boyle... Commanding officer... Fisher County, Truro. What am I going to write to him? You know that better than me. We need help. Your support... is urgently requested. ...demands your attention. I
am James Trehearne,
representative of the order... ...who investigates
on the many shipwrecks caused by pirates
on this coast. - Its good ?
- Yes that's it. According to him, they operate from Jamaica Inn,
in Pengallan. and demand the hanging
of the owner and accomplices. You are ready ? Perfect ! You shade
to Lord George. You will need a hat.
Chadwick! We must leave immediately. Miss Yellen, don't have to know anything. No, poor thing
so devoted to her aunt. Very attached to his family. I coul
dn't tell the truth. Sam come right now.
Where is he ? - In the kitchen, sir.
- Sat ! You need an overcoat
with this wind... Bring to sir
the blue cape and a hat. And bring me mine. There you are, Sam. Quickly. wear this
to Captain Boyle at the barracks. - Captain Boyle?
- Yes. And at a gallop. - Very good sir.
- Tell Robins to get the car out. Come. - Your cape.
- Thank you. Tell Mrs. Black to take care
the girl. Maybe she can
convince her to sleep. Thank you. Tell Lord George that I will be
ba
ck for dinner. Thank you so much. Where is my car?
She's not ready? The girl took it. She said you did
move forward for her. Horses, quick! - You have to run away with me!
- What is it ? This Trehearne that I saved
is a court officer. He's on his way with Sir Humprey. - They notified Truro.
-Joss. I have to change.
Take your things. - I have to warn Joss!
- We don't have time. I can't leave without Joss. You do not understand ?
They know everything! Me too ! It's your last chance
to free yoursel
f from him. He's a pirate, an assassin. But he's my husband...
You don't understand, Mary. You do not know him. Joss, she came to warn us.
We must flee. Where is Trehearne? - Where's Trehearne?
- They're coming to arrest you. Trehearne is a law officer.
We can not... Silence ! I don't need to explain
my presence with this officer. In the name of Her Majesty,
I have to search the house. Please guide us,
Mr Merlyn. Nothing here, Sir Humphrey. Already there !
How efficient Mr. Trehearne! The police
don't waste time. I'm sorry !
Come closer, Mrs. Merlyn. - She had nothing to do with it.
- I hope. You didn't tell me
who you were! You would have told your aunt. Why not ? She is innocent. She is in no danger of running away.
but she won't leave Joss. Would Mrs Merlyn give us
a pick-me-up? You wish?
A hot Brandy, for me. - Get in, Joss.
- Leave me alone! I'm sorry about what is happening. Keep calm.
We will do everything we can. Aunt Patience, you know about Joss
from the beginning... I love h
im and there's nothing we can do about it. There is nothing to do. You can leave it.
It's not too late. Mary, prepare the fire,
I'll get the brandy. He enters that way, by that staircase. You are expecting someone, aren't you? He enters this room.
This door is locked. Give me the key
or I break down the door. Don't be silly, give the key. Come on, come in. Mind your head.
These doors are low. Thank you. - Here we are.
- We don't use it. - You say ?
- We don't use this room. So why fire? You are
right.
He is expecting visitors. You are too kind.
I like a good fire. Look, sir. - What do you think it is?
- Blood on silk. The silk of the last shipwreck.
He was here last night. How foolish to let this drag on! What negligence! Look, Sir Humphrey. Funny place for a candle
behind a curtain. A signal. Can you open the door
in case it happens? - Joss, who's visiting you?
- Do you want to know? I'll tell you: Santa Claus!
He comes every year. You better say it.
So who ? - Who is it ?
- You will
be soon, Mr. Policeman. What dust! The door is open.
We must turn on the signal! I'm taking care of it. We have to get the women up. Yes I am going. - Watch him.
- Bring me a drink. Still blowing? - More than ever.
- Here are the orders. Another shipwreck tonight? Captain Mowry
wanted to have dinner tonight. He doesn't like food
from its edge. He was mortified to pass
off at dinner time, what should we do... - Around 9 a.m.
- OK. What load? Gold, among other things. No missteps,
I urgently need
this money. Let the wind fall,
at sea, I don't care. I take a vacation
and so should you. - Why ? What is it ?
- Nothing yet. The authorities sent
Mr. Trehearne in Cornwall. They have suspicions. I will come back when things
will have calmed down. Tonight is the last? The last in a series. Tonight I'll take the boat
for Saint Malo. I will iron,
prepare me the gold and the rest. They love these things
in France. What about Trehearne? What time do your men arrive? If I had known, I would have left
you... Won't you believe
I like all this. - A problem ?
- Nope. The elementary humor of our friend. Everything is ready,
the door is open. - The signal is there.
- Only the man is missing. Your groom must have already
convey the message. The captain should be there
in ten minutes. It's your last chance.
Tell us a name! I even have an arrest warrant.
Just the name is missing. We'll put the name after, when we have it. Would you like to register it yourself, Joss? You took all the risks
Harry, Sa
lvation and the others. He made sure of it.
All for crumbs. Have you thought about that, Merlyn? Here's a chance to free yourself from him.
Denounce him. Why hesitate? He wouldn't hesitate. A man like him
save his skin first. You think ? - Before any other.
- You seem to figure it out pretty well. You think you have a picture
precise about him. Not only
he organizes shipwrecks but he has the survivors assassinated
in cold blood. Well sheltered... who uses others
to keep your hands clean. Heaven
help him!
It is his soul that is stained... The reinforcements! Watch him. I'll tell 'em surround the house
and stay hidden. Stay where you are! Sir Humphrey!
The gang has arrived! He is not alone! Go around.
Let no one come out. It's too late for me...
They watch the door. There is no other way out. Are you there, Joss? Judge Pengallan! Yes, Harry.
Your Honorable Justice of the Peace, brought by your friend, Trehearne, who forgot to tell you
that he is from the police. What ? They came to hang
us
for shipwrecks! This time we won't miss
our shot. Go on ! Wait ! - Let's be careful.
- What ? We shouldn't find
a dead judge here. - People would talk.
- We won't find them. We'll look for him here.
What if he said where he was going? - We have to eliminate them, Joss.
- Yes, but you have to think about it. And time is running out right now. We have another shipwreck. - This evening ?
- At 9 o'clock, so we'll see later. Tie them up! Never mind. It is a pleasure. You think I came
for you, idio
ts? There's someone behind Joss. Wait and you will see it.
He is coming tonight. Close your flap! You want to save time
make us miss the shipwreck. I wouldn't miss it
for nothing in the world. Joss, are you done? Let's put them at ease. We are going to think
to a nice accident for you. Would your honor prefer
fall into the precipice or wait for high tide
and death with his friend Jem, in a charming little cove? Even death will not separate them. It's expensive to take it
to a representative of t
he law. You will hang at the end of a rope,
body swaying in the wind. - It's time to go.
- Who will stay with them? Salvation will watch them and discuss
eternity with Mr. Trehearne. With him ? Never. We need everyone.
Patience will watch over them. Get the women down.
They are in the bedroom. Sorry to see you here, kid. I told you 1 year ago that you had
bad company. I was right.
You should have listened to me. Your wish is granted.
Here I am again in the state where you found me. - What is she
doing here?
- She came to tell us. It is through her that everything
has begun. - Why...
- I'm going to talk to him. I take care of her.
Patience, watch these gentlemen. Not a woman, Joss! I need you all
and they are well attached. Nothing like a nervous finger
on the trigger. I wouldn't move
if I was you. To make a hole in such a fine coat! Don't be afraid my darling.
You won't have to use it. Alright, about our business. - Patience, don't let them...
- You come with us. You're not going to ta
ke her! Of course not. I will let her set you free
a second time in 24 hours. Let's go. - You will answer for his safety.
- Yes, Your Honor. - What are the reinforcements doing?
- They must have been delayed! - We must avoid shipwreck.
- Without knowing where it will take place? The man came
but he left. - How so ?
- Joss knows about the boat. Mrs Merlyn, you will be arrested
if you are found here. It's boring, I said that
I will come home for dinner. Mrs Merlyn, I wonder
if the gun is loaded? Y
ou're not used to it.
Let me watch. - Leave it, it will never work.
- Very well. Let's see if it's loaded. You are not really aware of the situation. I know your husband better than you. He wouldn't have loaded that gun more
that he wouldn't have tied me down. It would have been absurd.
That is what I thought. You see, lady... I have always admired the dedication
for your husband. A woman does not give up
her man even though the man is our friend Joss. watch it
and feel free to shoot. Your husba
nd will pay for it with his life. I therefore insist on the importance
of the task entrusted to you. Watch him. From close... At the slightest attempt to escape,
feel free to fire. Keep your finger on the trigger. On the trigger, there. And everything will go just fine. You forgot the letter to Boyle!
The army will arrive. There is no Captain Boyle,
so there is no reinforcement. Mrs Merlyn, let me go. You are welcome !
Do not move. Make a U-turn ! Get up to the lighthouse, quick! - I can come ?
- When you are older. - I never see anything.
- Goes ! Course ! Would you like me to serve you
a glass ? Without putting a finger on it!
You follow me ? Bring her down! Watch her! Where does the shipwreck take place? I do not know. It's serious.
You must release me. Innocent people will die
and you will be responsible. You love your husband, I know. And it's my duty to stop him. The men of this boat
have wives. Think about it. And if one of these men
was Joss! The boat coming out of the squall.
Somewhere on the shore,
a lighthouse goes out. Imagine this capsizing ship, the men who fall into the sea
clinging and screaming... And after the shipwreck, the wolves. So you must set me free
and tell me where it is. I can't !
I tell you that I don't know. I never knew anything. Mrs. Merlyn... Let me go.
I will find the place. Hurry, time is running out. I can't.
What will happen to Joss? You have to choose between the life of Joss
and that of all the men on the boat. Joss is just a man. Yes, b
ut he's my man. What if I lied about your husband... - Where is the barracks?
- Why ? I requisition the diligence,
here is a warrant. Here it is ! A light ! Change course! What are they doing ? Take her down. Leave it to us, Joss.
We will take very good care of her. You will understand that it is
my responsibility. I'll take care of it. Drop it and go up
in the cart. Do not move ! - You can't take her!
- It was our best cargo! - Let her come down.
- Yes, I stole from you! I stole your chance
to
murder innocent people. And I'm happy about it.
It doesn't matter what happens to me. Shut up, bitch! My business will keep me busy certainly several weeks.
That's it. - Sir Humphrey!
- What is it Sam? The regiment left Truro
three weeks ago. There was no Captain Boyle. - Wow !
- I will go... Nothing, it's not important.
That will be all, Chadwick. I can't give you
of address in France. Sir ? What is it, Chadwick? Pardon my audacity.
You are not sick? If I'm sick, Chadwick? I never
so well worn!
Approach. In fact, I'm getting younger. I feel so young that I take
a beautiful girl with me. Anything else, sir? Do not look at me like that ! Sat ! Keep the mare in good shape. Approach. Chadwick, he's...
His mind wanders. I feared that. Ahead ! Mr Chadwick. He is... I saw this moment coming
For years. Aunt Patience! What happened ? Joss is injured.
Gently. - What happened ?
- I prevented the sinking. Joss saved me from men
and they shot him. Patience, my love. It'll be fine, Joss.
I will hea
l you. You are so good Patience. I'm sorry. Where is Jem?
Tell me he's not... I let him go. He went to shipwreck. He promised to help Joss escape.
Do you know what that means? We can start over
our life. We have to leave
while it's time. It's a new life.
You realize ? Live without fear, among strangers. It will be like at the beginning. Joss was different then.
He is strong. He will recover quickly. Is not it ? Sure. We'll leave when he comes to.
You have to hurry. Joss must be gone when he gets
back. Who ? I didn't tell you.
I learned it tonight. I always knew
that Joss had a boss. Someone else organizes everything
and leads Joss. Tonight, I found out who.
It is... Aunt Patience! Help me, Patience. Give me a drink. Yes, Joss, yes. Nice shot, right? Poor thing, she suffered so much!
I had no choice. She was going to tell you about me. I did not like it. I wanted to tell you myself. Did you prevent the sinking?
Too bad, I was counting on it. You are brave
but you put me in embarrassment
. Leave me! Do not scream
or I should gag you. Tell me if it hurts. You can't, am I stupid!
Lower your hands... Lower your hands... Or I should also link them. This will prevent the strings
don't cut your wrists. You are alone in the world,
now. You only have me left. I will take care of you. Besides, we are leaving together. Hurry before Trehearne comes back. You should put this.
Better cover up by this cold wind. I always tell people
to pay attention, but they think they are smarter. You would
n't want that
we see you in this state, is not it ? I am happy
to see you calmer. Let's go. My car is near here. We have to hurry. It's Sir Humphrey! - With the girl!
- Where's Joss? Trehearne is missing too! Harry, over here, quick. They are both dead. You should not have done that
to Joss, Harry. It's time to... move. what are you doing
planted there? Get out and separate! Where is the girl ? - Good question.
- So where is she? Calm down.
You will be a little disappointed. She found herself an
other gentleman.
I saw her leave with the judge. We have to find them.
Quick, men. Sergeant, six men with us. I do not like it ! It's all the mirror's fault
which broke. I told you.
Seven years of misfortune. No, Dandy, seven days,
not to mention eternity. What will happen to us? A nice performance in public
with the women who will watch. I will give them a show. I'm ready. - It won't work.
- Let's tie him up. Why ?
Why not chains? I want to be chained
like the others. I have the right to be tre
ated like them. I did the same as them. Hang me with them! Are you going to hang me? I do not want to die !
I'm only 17. Will you prevent them? I was just following orders. I didn't kill anyone!
Nor even approached the wrecks. You can't hang me.
You won't dare. I don't want to die. It's my house. See. On the other side of the bay. The Pengallans live there
since a long time. And say that I can't anymore
set foot in my house! We may not be back
Never again. I have to do
a long trip. Close to the
sun, of course.
Italy or the Greek Islands. Thinking about how much money it will take? I have enough.
You always have to have enough money. I always knew that to live like a gentleman,
in comfort and elegance, I needed money and some nice things,
like you, my dear. - Where's Humphrey?
- Left for business. - Where ?
- Answer! Sir Humprey went to take
the boat for Saint-Malo. What is going on ?
It's you. But you are wearing my clothes! - They're looking for Sir Humphrey.
- A problem ? Sir Humphre
y leads a gang
of pirates. We are looking for him. Your luggage is on board,
sir. Humphrey Pengallan,
the large cabin. I would like brandy. How awful !
They don't have any better. I have travelled a lot. I will set you up
comfortably. I never liked these lootings. I don't like to hang out
killers. We had to go through it.
my friends are poor and I live like a prince. I drowned hundreds of sailors
for that. Like a prince... And you will be my princess. You regret not marrying
some idiot? I will g
ive you
a dozen brats. any smart man Would rather see you dead. In Paris, you will have
a maid. I will choose your new outfits
myself. Yes, I release you from that. I will dress in silk
this satin skin. Pale green silk. Stop crying! That's enough, bitch! Be beautiful! Do what you want,
but be beautiful. Be strong. The time
gentlemen is over. It's all up to you... Make way! Order of the king! They are looking for you
but you are mine. Girl, things couldn't
be more unpleasant. Captain Johnson!
I'm
here ! Sir Humphrey Pengallan. Surrender, Sir Humphrey!
Free her. Don't approach. Try not to kill him. Attention !
Get away from him. Nope ! He doesn't know what he's doing. He's crazy, I tell you. Stop. It's time. Don't move, please. Don't hurt him.
He is not responsible. Come down! Appointment ! But what is he doing up there? Come down, Sir Humphrey!
Appointment. We won't hurt you.
Promised. I'll be down before you
until you get to the top. Make room, please.
Give me a rope. What are you wait
ing for? Get that man down! What are you all waiting for? A show ! You will have it ! Tell your children
the end of this great era. Make way for Pengallan! Subtitling: Bach films
