1
00:01:07,584 --> 00:01:09,245
Captain.
2
00:01:09,419 --> 00:01:11,887
- Captain.
- Ridley.
3
00:01:12,055 --> 00:01:15,007
Ridley, have you seen any
other survivors?
4
00:01:15,225 --> 00:01:16,249
No, sir.
5
00:01:16,426 --> 00:01:20,886
Captain, my foot is caught
in some of the wreckage.
6
00:01:21,064 --> 00:01:24,431
- It's pulling me under.
- Hold on.
7
00:01:26,803 --> 00:01:28,634
Ridley!
8
00:01:39,716 --> 00:01:42,184
Ridley. Ridley.
9
00:01:42,819 --> 00:01:44,116
No.
10
00:01:44,287 --> 00:01:45,777
No.
11
00:01:46,156 --> 00:01:48,420
More blood, more
blood, more blood.
12
00:01:48,591 --> 00:01:51,082
Delirious from nearly
drowning, I saw it.
13
00:01:52,662 --> 00:01:54,630
The Black Freighter.
14
00:01:54,964 --> 00:02:00,231
The hell-bound ship's black
sails against the yellow Indies sky.
15
00:02:00,804 --> 00:02:06,743
I knew again the stench of powder
and men's brains and war.
16
00:02:07,477 --> 00:02:11,641
More blood, more blood,
more blood.
17
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,786
More blood, more blood,
more blood.
18
00:02:27,964 --> 00:02:29,727
The waves about me were scarlet...
19
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,891
... foaming, horribly warm
in the Freighter's wake.
20
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:36,232
In despair, I offered my
weathered soul to almighty God...
21
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:40,069
... his mercy and his judgment.
22
00:03:23,753 --> 00:03:29,123
When I awoke,
I found myself upon a dismal beachhead...
23
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:30,653
... with my men.
24
00:03:31,427 --> 00:03:34,157
Pieces of my men.
25
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:43,405
It was all I could do for her...
26
00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:46,906
... though she had borne me
through seas of blood.
27
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:51,443
Her damp embrace had prevented me
from drifting beyond reach.
28
00:03:51,614 --> 00:03:56,483
Yet this small comfort
was all I could offer.
29
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:08,422
One of my crew lay ahead.
30
00:04:08,598 --> 00:04:11,590
Birds were eating
his thoughts and memories.
31
00:04:11,768 --> 00:04:13,030
Away. Hya!
32
00:04:13,202 --> 00:04:14,794
Hya! Get away.
33
00:04:17,473 --> 00:04:20,442
In hell, at least the
gulls are contented.
34
00:04:22,378 --> 00:04:26,109
For my part,
I begged that they should take my eyes.
35
00:04:26,282 --> 00:04:29,410
Thus sparing me future horrors.
36
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:33,583
I thought of my family...
37
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,788
... my wife, my daughters.
38
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,951
Vulnerable, unsuspecting.
39
00:04:39,662 --> 00:04:43,098
Awaiting my return,
only to be met by damnation...
40
00:04:43,266 --> 00:04:45,700
... bearing down upon them.
41
00:04:52,175 --> 00:04:53,267
Hey!
42
00:04:53,443 --> 00:04:54,910
Over here!
43
00:04:55,511 --> 00:04:57,035
Here!
44
00:05:02,852 --> 00:05:04,285
Ridley.
45
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:21,932
A sail.
46
00:05:22,372 --> 00:05:24,863
Ridley had brought me a sail.
47
00:05:25,174 --> 00:05:28,302
Perhaps this could be my route
back to Davidstown.
48
00:05:29,679 --> 00:05:33,911
Everything I loved, everything I lived for,
depended on my reaching home...
49
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:37,382
... in advance of that terrible
Freighter.
50
00:05:46,963 --> 00:05:49,488
The morning sun found me
no less troubled.
51
00:05:51,167 --> 00:05:52,327
Further down the shore...
52
00:05:52,502 --> 00:05:55,994
... some of my crew
had become inflated with gas.
53
00:06:01,477 --> 00:06:07,040
I shuddered at my own idea,
attempting to banish this repulsive notion.
54
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:18,757
Even in death,
they sought to fulfill their duty...
55
00:06:18,928 --> 00:06:21,522
... making our
vessel more buoyant.
56
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:25,025
And I would do my duty to them
in returning them home.
57
00:06:26,736 --> 00:06:32,003
Rudely jarring my men from eternal rest,
and laying them in the bed I prepared...
58
00:06:32,175 --> 00:06:36,635
... I hoped my wife and daughters
might be tucked in by gentler hands...
59
00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:38,508
... when their turn came.
60
00:06:55,865 --> 00:06:58,231
We shall get home together, my friend.
61
00:07:01,204 --> 00:07:02,637
I waited for the tide.
62
00:07:03,473 --> 00:07:07,466
Then, embarking, headed east.
63
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:10,638
East, across the night seas.
64
00:07:10,813 --> 00:07:15,273
East, borne on the bodies
of murdered men.
65
00:07:16,219 --> 00:07:18,710
Hope can be a horrible thing.
66
00:08:23,486 --> 00:08:27,786
With the dawn came the gulls
looking for breakfast.
67
00:08:27,957 --> 00:08:29,083
Ridley.
68
00:08:32,295 --> 00:08:33,319
Get out.
69
00:08:39,502 --> 00:08:42,801
I was reminded
that I, myself, had not eaten.
70
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:48,870
I know it is unappetizing,
but it is all we have.
71
00:09:02,391 --> 00:09:08,762
Whoever we are, wherever we reside,
we exist on the whim of murderers.
72
00:09:13,436 --> 00:09:16,405
I hardly recognized
my old friend Ridley.
73
00:09:16,572 --> 00:09:19,700
I could not bring myself to tell him
he was a horrible reflection...
74
00:09:19,875 --> 00:09:21,775
... of his former self.
75
00:09:22,078 --> 00:09:26,606
I really must get him home before...
Before he gets any worse.
76
00:09:26,782 --> 00:09:28,909
Before he succumbs.
77
00:09:29,385 --> 00:09:34,880
I've heard that on less than a pint daily,
a man might survive drinking saltwater.
78
00:09:35,057 --> 00:09:36,388
Captain?
79
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,026
What are you doing, captain?
80
00:09:40,563 --> 00:09:43,396
I'm headed for Davidstown. That's what.
81
00:09:43,866 --> 00:09:46,391
I need to warn everyone.
82
00:09:49,038 --> 00:09:52,565
You think you'll reach Davidstown
in advance of the Black Freighter?
83
00:09:52,942 --> 00:09:57,106
Isolation has made you mad, captain.
Mad, indeed.
84
00:09:58,114 --> 00:09:59,445
But we must try.
85
00:09:59,615 --> 00:10:00,809
You are a fool.
86
00:10:00,983 --> 00:10:03,508
You alone survived the
Freighter's attack.
87
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:07,884
Fortune has smiled upon you,
and you spit in its face.
88
00:10:08,057 --> 00:10:13,427
Turn your wretched craft around
and go far away, as far away as you can.
89
00:10:15,531 --> 00:10:19,467
No. No, my family. I must protect them.
90
00:10:20,736 --> 00:10:22,533
The Black Freighter
is already there.
91
00:10:23,306 --> 00:10:24,933
Your wife, dead.
92
00:10:25,107 --> 00:10:27,735
- Your children, dead.
- Shut your mouth.
93
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:32,244
You have failed your family,
like you have failed your crew.
94
00:10:53,602 --> 00:10:57,060
You'll end up dead like them.
You give your life in vain.
95
00:10:57,239 --> 00:10:58,831
I give my life in nobility.
96
00:11:02,311 --> 00:11:05,747
Even if I fail in my attempt,
I take solace in the fact that I will see...
97
00:11:05,915 --> 00:11:07,246
...my family again in heaven.
98
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:08,610
Heaven?
99
00:11:08,784 --> 00:11:10,843
Oh, there is no heaven, captain.
100
00:11:11,387 --> 00:11:13,480
Believe me, sir.
101
00:11:13,656 --> 00:11:15,817
I would know by now.
102
00:11:42,585 --> 00:11:43,882
Huh?
103
00:11:47,890 --> 00:11:48,982
Know this, my friends.
104
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:51,218
Hades is wet.
105
00:11:52,561 --> 00:11:54,119
Hades is lonely.
106
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:13,745
And in that instant,
we knew each other.
107
00:12:50,152 --> 00:12:52,416
I'm sorry, my friend.
108
00:13:12,641 --> 00:13:15,542
My raft had grown
increasingly grotesque...
109
00:13:16,145 --> 00:13:19,171
... reflecting my own transformation.
110
00:13:32,761 --> 00:13:36,822
Adrift, my darkest imaginings
welled up unchecked...
111
00:13:36,999 --> 00:13:40,127
... spilling from brain to heart
like black ink...
112
00:13:40,302 --> 00:13:42,736
... impossible to remove.
113
00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:54,572
The vessel had surely reached
Davidstown already.
114
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:59,820
I pictured quiet streets overrun
by the fiends from the Black Freighter.
115
00:13:59,989 --> 00:14:03,220
My wife, my children,
most certainly dead.
116
00:14:03,392 --> 00:14:05,383
My crew, dead.
117
00:14:05,561 --> 00:14:09,224
The beast I ride on, dead.
118
00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:21,107
More blood, more blood,
more blood.
119
00:14:35,424 --> 00:14:36,755
Father?
120
00:14:36,926 --> 00:14:39,394
It can't be. Oh, Lord, it can't be.
121
00:14:39,562 --> 00:14:42,793
Father, help us. Please.
122
00:14:42,965 --> 00:14:43,989
Wait.
123
00:14:45,701 --> 00:14:46,725
I'm coming.
124
00:14:47,503 --> 00:14:48,834
Hurry, my dear.
125
00:14:49,605 --> 00:14:52,506
Wait. Anyone but them.
126
00:14:52,675 --> 00:14:54,302
Anyone.
127
00:14:54,577 --> 00:14:56,135
Anyone.
128
00:15:00,416 --> 00:15:02,646
I'd swallowed too much seawater.
129
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:05,651
I'd swallowed too much horror.
130
00:15:09,124 --> 00:15:10,386
God has damned me.
131
00:15:11,527 --> 00:15:14,155
God has damned us all.
132
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:20,269
Truly, life is hell and death's
rough hand our only deliverance.
133
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,130
I can endure no more.
134
00:15:23,305 --> 00:15:27,207
I want to join my
family desperately.
135
00:15:49,264 --> 00:15:51,596
Why does death pass me by?
136
00:15:54,703 --> 00:15:56,364
Davidstown?
137
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,335
Davidstown.
138
00:15:59,642 --> 00:16:02,042
I was only miles away.
139
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:03,974
By now the town was overrun.
140
00:16:04,513 --> 00:16:07,539
The fiends imagined
themselves safe from me.
141
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:09,081
But now I was home.
142
00:16:09,251 --> 00:16:11,981
And revenge would be mine.
143
00:16:19,328 --> 00:16:22,024
No, not the brigands
from the Black Freighter.
144
00:16:22,197 --> 00:16:25,325
The man I recognized,
a moneylender from Davidstown.
145
00:16:25,701 --> 00:16:27,828
With Davidstown certainly captured...
146
00:16:28,003 --> 00:16:31,131
... why would this scoundrel
and his wench be allowed free passage...
147
00:16:31,306 --> 00:16:32,568
... for this midnight tryst?
148
00:16:32,741 --> 00:16:33,969
Had he collaborated?
149
00:16:34,143 --> 00:16:35,576
Had he betrayed my people?
150
00:16:36,011 --> 00:16:38,741
- My family?
- Come and get it, babe.
151
00:16:39,214 --> 00:16:40,408
Here.
152
00:16:49,491 --> 00:16:51,686
My heart grew cold.
153
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:54,988
Was my wife comforted
before her execution...
154
00:16:55,164 --> 00:16:59,225
... while this collaborator
and his pirate masters sneered?
155
00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:02,034
My decision was hurried,
but not difficult.
156
00:17:02,204 --> 00:17:03,398
Who are you? What?
157
00:17:06,175 --> 00:17:09,702
His head burst,
as if pressurized by the guilt within.
158
00:17:19,254 --> 00:17:21,814
A buccaneer's whore
deserves no pity.
159
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:28,122
Two figures had ridden here.
160
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:31,130
Two must ride back.
161
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:37,670
A pirate sentry.
162
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,936
I trotted unhurriedly
to avoid suspicion.
163
00:17:42,878 --> 00:17:46,006
Their violation did not stop
with the good people of Davidstown...
164
00:17:46,181 --> 00:17:50,345
... but had cut deeply,
infecting my beloved homeland.
165
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,818
My Davidstown was
not as I last saw it.
166
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:57,925
Already it was afflicted with
the curse of the Black Freighter.
167
00:17:58,093 --> 00:18:04,396
Soon, I would venture amongst evil men,
butchers who now reside in my home...
168
00:18:04,566 --> 00:18:06,261
... and make them fear me.
169
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:13,740
Upon my return home,
I found the streets conspicuously silent.
170
00:18:15,778 --> 00:18:18,576
I entered my former residence
noiselessly.
171
00:18:19,281 --> 00:18:25,083
Careful not to rouse the pirate butchers
occupying it from their debauched slumber.
172
00:18:30,926 --> 00:18:32,917
Unaware that death
was amongst them...
173
00:18:33,262 --> 00:18:37,198
... they would know its dark embrace
without ever understanding why.
174
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:41,568
One, however, was awake. Frantic.
175
00:18:41,737 --> 00:18:43,136
Lest he should raise alarms...
176
00:18:43,305 --> 00:18:47,071
... I set upon him as he entered
the night-wrapped chamber.
177
00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:49,801
No pirates come,
but something worse.
178
00:18:51,513 --> 00:18:52,537
Father?
179
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:57,344
I look up into faces familiar,
save for their terror.
180
00:18:57,653 --> 00:19:00,952
Through puffed and bloodied lips,
she mouthed my name.
181
00:19:01,123 --> 00:19:04,422
My love, why?
182
00:19:08,931 --> 00:19:11,832
There came an
understanding so large...
183
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,434
... it left no room for sanity.
184
00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:16,932
So I ran.
185
00:19:17,439 --> 00:19:19,304
What's happened to her?
186
00:19:20,209 --> 00:19:21,642
You.
187
00:19:23,011 --> 00:19:25,411
The knowledge
of my damnation paced me...
188
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:28,744
... shouting, celebrating
its awful victory.
189
00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:30,646
My deduction was flawless.
190
00:19:30,819 --> 00:19:32,912
The Black Freighter
was heading to Davidstown.
191
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:35,955
- It should have arrived.
- He went that way!
192
00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:41,359
Eventually,
I came to a dismal black ocean...
193
00:19:41,530 --> 00:19:43,498
... stretching
endlessly before me.
194
00:19:44,233 --> 00:19:47,600
How had I reached
this appalling position with love...
195
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:50,795
... only love, as my guide?
196
00:19:52,407 --> 00:19:55,501
The moneylender
floated at my feet.
197
00:19:55,677 --> 00:19:58,475
Noble intentions had
led me to atrocity.
198
00:19:58,647 --> 00:20:04,847
The righteous anger fueling my ingenious,
awful scheme was but delusion.
199
00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:06,988
Where was my error?
200
00:20:07,389 --> 00:20:12,486
Planning to resume my flight,
I raised my head and saw her.
201
00:20:14,763 --> 00:20:19,200
The vessel seemed to be waiting,
not hovering to strike.
202
00:20:19,368 --> 00:20:23,532
And gradually, I understood
what innocent intent brought me to...
203
00:20:24,439 --> 00:20:27,169
... and waded out beyond my depth.
204
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:31,336
The unspeakable truth
loomed unavoidably before me...
205
00:20:31,513 --> 00:20:34,380
... as I swam
towards the anchored Freighter.
206
00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:38,883
Its dark and lurching mast
filled all my vision.
207
00:20:39,054 --> 00:20:42,023
All my well-meaning plans
had come to this.
208
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:45,956
The world I tried to save
was lost beyond recall.
209
00:20:46,862 --> 00:20:48,693
A rope snaked down.
210
00:20:48,864 --> 00:20:50,991
Sputtering, I grabbed it.
211
00:20:52,367 --> 00:20:54,028
And from the decks above,
a cheer went up...
212
00:20:54,202 --> 00:20:58,400
... both gross and black,
its stench affronting heaven.
213
00:21:01,209 --> 00:21:03,575
There had been no plan
to capture Davidstown.
214
00:21:04,413 --> 00:21:08,440
They'd come to wait until they could collect
the only prize they valued.
215
00:21:09,651 --> 00:21:12,779
Claim the only soul
they truly wanted.
216
00:21:18,794 --> 00:21:20,887
I was a horror.
217
00:21:21,730 --> 00:21:25,063
Amongst horrors must I dwell.
218
00:25:36,218 --> 00:25:38,209
