00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:18.846
How does one come
to know the unknowable?
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.890
"What faculties must a man possess?"
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.849
"Since it was discovered that whale oil"
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.322
"could light our cities
in ways never achieved before,"
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.602
"it created global demand."
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.329
"It has pushed man to venture
further and further"
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.529
"into the deep blue unknown."
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.603
"We know not its depths,"
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.650
"nor the host of creatures
that live there."
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:43.370
"Monsters."
00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:44.681
"Are they real?"
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.531
"Or do the stories exist only to make us
respect the sea's dark secrets?"
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.931
"The question both vexes and excites me
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.809
"and is the reason
I've written you a second time
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.724
"to request a meeting.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.128
"A conversation with you, sir,
I believe will serve me well
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.884
"for the novel I intend to write,
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.085
"currently entitled Moby Dick.
00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:31.005
"I hope you will reconsider my offer."
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:33.327
"The unknown."
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:37.006
"That is where my imagination
yearns to venture."
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:41.360
"And so the question plagues me still."
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.844
"How does a man come to know
the unknowable?"
00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:48.088
"Sincerely, Herman Melville."
00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:51.165
We're closed.
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:53.250
No boarders after 8:00.
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:05.931
You came.
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:17.446
Someone here for you, my love.
00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:18.806
Tom Nickerson?
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.291
Herman Melville.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.809
We received your letter.
00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:28.244
You're either a desperate man
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.880
or a fool to come
all the way to Nantucket.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.531
Well, my offer still stands.
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.528
Three months' lodgings
for a single night's talk.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.564
All I have in the world.
00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:44.961
But I prefer to think of it
as an investment.
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.841
I want you to tell me
what happened to the Essex.
00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:58.280
What do you think happened?
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:02.650
There are rumblings.
Rumors that the Essex was...
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:03.887
What do you want?
00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:06.008
What story do you expect to hear?
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:07.605
That of the whale.
00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:13.326
The Essex ran aground.
There was a full inquiry.
00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:16.286
I believe the inquiry
was less than truthful.
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.167
Get out.
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.845
You are the last survivor
of the Essex, sir.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.604
If you won't talk, who will?
00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:29.685
Did you not hear me? Leave. Now.
00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:36.601
- No. You mustn't go. Please.
- He is in no mind to talk.
00:04:36.760 --> 00:04:39.400
And I haven't come all this way
to be humiliated and waste my time.
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.482
Please, Mr. Melville.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.889
He won't talk about the Essex to me.
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.771
To anyone. Never has. Never.
00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:50.602
There's an agony about him.
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.804
His soul is in torment,
00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:58.201
and in need of confession.
00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:01.089
Please, just let me talk to him.
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.480
Please.
00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.247
Love.
00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:17.048
I believe it would do you good
to talk to the man.
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.281
No.
00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:24.769
You listen well.
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.008
Who holds this place together
while you drink yourself to death?
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.325
You will talk with this man
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.882
as much as is necessary to keep the money.
00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:38.807
You know our circumstances, Thomas.
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:52.123
Only as much as is necessary.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.250
I'll get whiskey.
00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:06.880
I neglected to mention it
in my letter,
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:09.688
but I was a whaler once.
00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:12.808
One trip, I mean.
00:06:13.640 --> 00:06:14.641
Green hand.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.848
So, you've seen it all.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.804
My wife read your books.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:23.969
She enjoyed them.
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.284
I'm happy to hear it.
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.048
I've had good sales.
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.210
And I think this story
could surpass the success
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.806
of even my first novel,
which did quite well.
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:38.324
Another of your seafaring yarns?
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.208
Have you read Hawthorne, Mr. Melville?
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.409
Now there's a writer.
00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:50.010
Great writer.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.366
He is.
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.690
But he is not here. And I am.
00:06:57.760 --> 00:06:59.125
For my own particular reasons.
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.809
I will tell you of the Essex.
00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:12.564
I believe you will be disappointed.
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:15.646
But every word I say will be true.
00:07:17.320 --> 00:07:21.245
Story of the Essex
is the story of two men.
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.891
Captain George Pollard and his first mate,
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.925
Owen Chase.
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.728
Owen. You don't wanna be late.
00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:34.645
I'll be there.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.724
Besides, can't have our daughter
sleeping under a leaky roof, can we?
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:40.082
What makes you so sure it's a girl?
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.126
Well, it has to be.
00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:43.566
So she can remind me
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.600
why I still love you
when you're being stubborn.
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.691
Well, if it's to be a daughter,
she'll be a version of you, not me.
00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:51.730
Blond locks and determined
to conquer the world.
00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:53.325
I suppose after today,
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.130
you'll be trading in
that tunic for a uniform.
00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:56.406
That's right.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.244
Finally out of this patch of dirt,
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:00.000
into a captain's house like you deserve.
00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:03.609
I don't need one of those houses
in town with stuffy neighbors.
00:08:03.760 --> 00:08:05.640
There's plenty of room here
for the three of us.
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.087
You know, sometimes your kind heart
and good nature
00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:10.488
is just unbearable.
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.328
Go get your captaincy.
00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:59.720
- What's your bid?
- I'll have $1.90.
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.043
I've got 1,000 gallons at $2!
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.406
I'll take 40 shares!
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.048
Seller! Seller! Over here!
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.049
Criterion's back with a fine haul.
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.765
1,600 barrels.
00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:16.967
A new record.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.807
£50 sterling for head matter
on the London market.
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.651
Congratulations.
00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:34.642
- Good morning, Mr. Chase.
- Mr. Mason.
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.251
Come in, please.
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.128
My partner, Benjamin Fuller.
00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.406
Good morning, sir.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.170
Do sit down.
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.084
Mr. Chase.
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.686
I do hope you realize how satisfied we are
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.720
with the work you've done for us
over the years.
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.569
Thank you, sir.
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.927
Now, one of our ships, the Essex,
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.003
has just been refitted at great expense
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.202
and is to go to sea.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.928
Now, having made
such an investment in her,
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.681
we want to be sure
she's in the best possible hands.
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.687
So, it gives us great pleasure
to offer you a position aboard her.
00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:16.529
As first mate.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.281
As first mate?
00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:21.561
Mmm-hmm.
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.762
Mr. Mason, you promised me
command of a ship after my last voyage
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:28.207
when I brought you back 1,500 barrels.
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.044
Do you remember?
You gave me your word.
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.725
That promise must now be deferred.
00:10:33.880 --> 00:10:36.804
Like everyone else,
we've had a lean time recently.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.086
No, never on my watch.
00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:41.045
Nantucket now dominates the world market.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.808
That must not change.
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.611
This is no time for experimentation.
00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:50.483
The Essex will be captained
by George Pollard,
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.731
scion of a great whaling family.
00:10:54.520 --> 00:10:57.569
His father also happens to be our patron.
00:10:57.760 --> 00:10:59.000
Blood, Mr. Chase.
00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:01.686
You can have all the voyages
under your belt you want,
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.490
but blood will always win out.
00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:06.650
Yes, well, blood is not gonna fill
a ship with oil, Mr. Mason.
00:11:06.800 --> 00:11:08.720
To successfully command,
a captain needs respect.
00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:10.320
Now, what if the men don't respect him?
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.729
You will make sure that they do.
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.048
Ah, good day, gentlemen.
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.641
I understand your disappointment,
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.007
so, a one-fifteenth lay.
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.371
That's more than
I've ever paid any first officer.
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.646
And if you bring back
2,000 barrels of oil,
00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:31.768
I give you my word,
00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:35.325
next time, you will have your captaincy.
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.211
You've given me
your word before, Mr. Mason.
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.283
No, this time, I'll take it in writing.
00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:57.529
Captain Pollard.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.483
We've just had a most
agreeable conversation with Mr. Chase.
00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:04.166
He'll be honored to serve under you.
00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:06.844
I'm glad to hear it.
00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:09.523
Now I'm to babysit a greenhorn.
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.451
Some chinless Nantucketer
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.921
born with a damn silver spoon
in his mouth.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.208
You know, I should've thrown
the offer back in their faces.
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.807
Why? You now have
the offer of command in writing.
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.928
Yes, well, a liar's word is worthless,
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.765
even on paper.
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.971
You know, I'd love you just as much
if you were a merchant captain.
00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:38.603
And you wouldn't be gone for two years.
00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:40.000
I won't be gone two years.
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.842
A Bedford whaler came back
last week who was gone three.
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.480
She lost two men
and still with her hull half empty.
00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:47.766
Yeah, well, they were from Bedford,
00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:49.240
and they didn't have me on board.
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.930
Son of a bitch!
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.364
I will captain my own ship!
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.730
A whaling ship.
00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:06.881
Up to them, all we'd ever have
is this patch of dirt,
00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:08.440
and that's not gonna happen, Peggy.
00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.400
Those are your father's words, not yours.
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.524
What's wrong with his words?
00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:15.324
He wanted things
for his family, for himself.
00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:17.841
He was a dreamer, Owen.
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:19.889
Yes, he was.
00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:21.804
Dreamed of the sea
and never got to sail it
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.325
because of men like them.
00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:25.489
At least he got to see his children born.
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.010
It's all I know.
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.290
I'm sorry.
00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:45.365
I married a whaleman.
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.926
Hey.
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.451
I'll come back as quick
as a summer's night, I swear.
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.885
Just come back.
00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.286
Promise me.
00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:18.450
I already swore to you.
Now you want me to promise, too?
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.605
I promise.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.849
Son, a word With you.
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.171
To be a captain, you cannot be a friend.
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.486
You are their superior.
00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:51.601
Never forget that.
Never let them forget that.
00:14:51.760 --> 00:14:52.966
Thank you, sir.
00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:57.006
Your great-grandfather and a few others
created this industry.
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.566
Without us, without you,
the world plunges into darkness.
00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:05.004
I hope to bring honor to
the Pollard family name, sir.
00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:15.287
"Thou didst, O Lord,
create the mighty whale.
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.364
"That wondrous monster of a mighty length.
00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:22.201
"Beyond conception his unmeasured strength.
00:15:22.400 --> 00:15:25.609
"But, everlasting God, thou dost ordain.
00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:29.890
"That we, poor feeble mortals
should engage.
00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:33.931
"Ourselves, our wives
and children to maintain.
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.488
"This dreadful monster
with a martial rage".
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:45.566
O Father, grant that your glorious light
shine on these men.
00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:49.443
Ensure them a prosperous voyage,
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.888
that they may return safely
and with a full ship,
00:15:53.640 --> 00:15:57.201
so that the white flames
of Nantucket whale oil
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.204
may continue to keep light in our homes,
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.081
city streets safe from sin in the night,
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.971
and to fuel the machines of industry
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.010
that drive our great nation forward
00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:13.607
as our noble species evolves.
00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:16.570
In your name, we pray.
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.290
- So, what month was this?
- Late in the year.
00:16:29.880 --> 00:16:32.326
We were one of the last ships to go out,
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.562
which is why my friend
Barzillai and I got a berth.
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.405
You know, I was 14.
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:40.446
Fourteen.
00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:44.124
Nickerson, you're standing
around, boy. Move!
00:16:44.280 --> 00:16:47.887
First time to sea.
Scared, but more scared to show it.
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.770
Barzillai was 17.
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.010
Orphans. Grew up on the wharf.
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.921
Both in a hurry to be called men.
00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:01.731
Grubs, what are those pins
they're wearing?
00:17:02.280 --> 00:17:03.770
They're whale pins, Thomas.
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.288
How do I get one of them?
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.488
Well, you gotta thrust the killing lance.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.840
Into the largest beast that
ever breathed on this Earth.
00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:15.729
Nickerson, get the green stuff
to Mr. Bond, there.
00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:18.442
Make it quick, damn it.
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.243
I shall have 12 of those one day.
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.040
Windlass is ready
and sails are loose, sir.
00:17:24.120 --> 00:17:25.929
Mr. Joy,
this is only half my order!
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.680
Put them over the ground tier casks.
00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:30.491
Well, well, you being on board
means only one thing.
00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:32.643
Yeah, at least there's
one person on this ship
00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:34.280
who knows the truth about Owen Chase.
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.720
No, that all the other ships
have already crewed up.
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.206
Now, now.
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:39.646
I'm a reformed man, Owen.
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.686
Question is, are you?
00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:43.808
Don't tell me Matthew Joy's
put down the bottle.
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.810
Dry as sand.
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.650
Has Owen Chase put down his temper?
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.889
Ah, serene as the church.
00:17:50.040 --> 00:17:52.486
I'll believe that when I see it.
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.642
And given our captain,
00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:58.162
I'll give your serenity about 48 hours?
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:00.161
Good luck.
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.290
Pollard. George Pollard.
00:18:08.600 --> 00:18:10.125
Owen Chase.
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.960
"Chase."
That's an off-island name, isn't it?
00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:15.165
Yes, it is.
00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:17.840
And very shortly, we will be
off-island for some time,
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.365
and I'll be very much at home.
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.728
Must say I was surprised.
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.281
Normally, a captain gets
to choose his first mate.
00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:27.650
An experienced captain, yes.
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.688
'Course, you can understand
from the owners' point of view,
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.201
they want to feel their investment's
in the hands of men.
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:34.361
Indeed.
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.121
They probably want a little
extra reassurance, that's all.
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.211
Well, do keep an eye on me
00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:40.725
and let me know
if I'm doing anything wrong.
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.525
Oh, I know no other way, Captain.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.007
Hmm.
00:18:54.520 --> 00:18:56.124
Mr. Chase, haul short the anchor.
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.920
Yank to the wind!
There's topmen aloft.
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.564
- Aye!
- Mr. Lawrence, take the helm.
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.245
- Aye, sir.
- Mr. Joy, make sail.
00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:03.688
Mr. Cole! Mr. Chappel!
Stand by the spanker.
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:06.320
Set your fore staysail
and your fore and main topsails.
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.811
Come on, look lively, you lads.
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.331
Come on, Nickerson!
While we're young!
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:11.160
Let fall clews
and bunts and sheet ho!
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.288
Set topsails and topgallants.
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.760
- Heave away on the windlass.
- Heave away on the windlass.
00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:20.161
Set topgallants.
00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:22.084
Let go clew lines and sheet ho!
00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:24.249
There's a snarl in the gasket, sir.
00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:26.364
Mr. Chappel, take the helm.
00:19:26.560 --> 00:19:28.324
It won't clear, Mr. Chase!
00:19:28.760 --> 00:19:31.889
Come on! Why aren't those braces laid out?
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.445
Mr. Ray, where are my headsails?
00:19:34.760 --> 00:19:35.921
Aye, sir!
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.285
Crank away on the windlass!
00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:40.120
Crank away on the windlass, sir!
00:19:40.600 --> 00:19:42.409
Nickerson, pull!
00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:47.480
Make sail, God damn it!
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.490
God and all of Nantucket
is watching, men.
00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:56.605
Anchor's trim!
00:19:56.760 --> 00:19:57.920
Captain! Head down!
00:19:58.120 --> 00:19:59.326
Mind your head, Captain.
00:20:02.800 --> 00:20:04.080
What's the matter, Mr. Sheppard?
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.800
Gasket's fouled the sheet, sir.
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.769
It won't clear, Mr. Chase!
00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:09.650
Topgallant sheet is jammed!
00:20:09.800 --> 00:20:11.320
The gasket still won't clear!
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:14.487
We don't have enough sail on yet.
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.641
Still won't clear!
00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:23.245
Watch your step!
00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:25.405
It's the gasket, Owen!
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:38.121
Stand clear.
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.528
Whoa! Bloody hell!
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.928
- Let fall your course!
- Heave!
00:20:51.320 --> 00:20:52.924
Make fast!
00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:07.601
Nice piece of work, Mr. Chase.
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:22.369
If we make Cape Verdes
in the next two weeks,
00:21:22.520 --> 00:21:25.603
we'll have a decent chance
of reaching the Pacific on schedule.
00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:29.121
Corn, Mr. Chase?
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.331
Oh, no, thank you, sir.
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.000
Never did have much of a taste for it.
00:21:34.360 --> 00:21:35.850
That's odd.
00:21:36.560 --> 00:21:38.688
Told your father grew corn on Cape Cod.
00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:40.205
That's right. He did.
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.401
As you can imagine,
00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:43.369
I certainly grew tired
of eating it every day.
00:21:46.040 --> 00:21:47.201
Corn.
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.481
- Okra. Beans, I believe?
- Mmm-hmm.
00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:52.410
Before he went to jail.
00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:56.887
Are you familiar with this story, Mr. Joy?
00:21:57.360 --> 00:21:58.850
Sir?
00:21:59.040 --> 00:22:00.565
Were you aware that.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.281
Mr. Chase was effectively orphaned
due to his father's incarceration?
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.569
Well, we all have our own paths to sea.
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.126
As a rule, we tend
not to ask too many questions.
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:12.846
Hmm.
00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:14.405
Can't have been easy, though.
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.761
Yet
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:19.926
you had Nantucket's great seafaring family
to adopt you.
00:22:20.080 --> 00:22:21.605
This is far from the first time
00:22:21.760 --> 00:22:24.047
I've been called a landsman
or an off-islander
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.326
by some Nantucketer,
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.524
reminding me how I am not
a part of that family.
00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:32.000
Now, if the Captain will excuse me,
00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:34.282
there are whaleboats
and watches to assign.
00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:43.364
No, sir. Not for me.
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.763
- Not a drop?
- No, sir.
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:48.283
Like I said,
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.364
sometimes the fewer questions one asks,
the better.
00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:01.288
Serve that food up.
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.803
Getting this
slop on the first day?
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.845
Cheap bastards. Where's the meat?
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.800
That's a gorgeous girl,
Mr. Chappel.
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.810
A vision of beauty, that.
Carved on a varnished whale bone.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.962
- Let me have a touch.
- Don't touch.
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.811
I thought you were married, anyway.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.490
I am, and there she is.
00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:25.129
Well, that's her nose, anyway.
00:23:25.280 --> 00:23:27.487
Congratulations, ladies.
00:23:30.320 --> 00:23:32.482
That was a fine job trimming sails today.
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.640
A sorrier pack of deck wallopers
I don't think I've ever seen.
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.681
Mr. Chappel.
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.163
- Sir!
- You're Captain's harpooner.
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:43.684
Mr. Lawrence, you'll be mine.
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:45.161
Aye, sir.
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.761
And Mr. Peterson.
00:23:48.080 --> 00:23:49.844
Second mate's harpooner.
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:51.207
Aye, sir.
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.290
There'll be six men to a boat.
00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:55.807
First drills are tomorrow.
Six bells sharp.
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.531
We're not even east of Halifax, sir.
00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.681
What's your name?
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:02.842
Coffin. Henry Coffin.
00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:04.880
He's the Captain's cousin, sir.
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:08.689
Well, well, Mr. Coffin.
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.769
You think a whale knows
if it's east of Halifax?
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.411
I don't know who all of you are
or how you got here.
00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:21.011
Some of you probably have felonies to hide
and you're on the run.
00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:24.006
That's fine. I don't give a damn.
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.721
But in return, you exist for one thing
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.326
and one thing only.
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:30.891
And that is whale oil.
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.368
I intend to fill our 2,000 barrels
00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:35.363
and be home as quickly as possible.
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.721
And even when the weather is fine
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.530
and there are no whales, Mr. Coffin,
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.120
we will lower the boats
and practice all maneuvers
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.721
necessary in the capture of a whale.
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.087
And any man who is idle
will find himself swimming home.
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:47.241
Is that understood?
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.441
Aye, sir.
00:24:48.600 --> 00:24:49.601
Sir.
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:54.765
Greenhorn.
00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:56.766
On deck.
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:01.443
On you go.
00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:05.650
Aye, aye, landsman.
00:25:06.280 --> 00:25:07.281
Thomas Nickerson, right?
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:08.527
Aye, sir.
00:25:09.320 --> 00:25:11.402
You know, some feel sick at first.
00:25:14.520 --> 00:25:16.602
Please, pull me back up!
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.729
Best way to square it
with King Neptune, boy!
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:20.120
Please bring me up!
00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:26.045
Better now?
00:25:28.040 --> 00:25:29.530
Ah, shit.
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:32.605
Sir, I am so sorry.
00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:36.970
Well, now you got something
to write home to your mother about.
00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:44.805
My mother's buried up in Smith's Hill.
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.088
There's a stone for my father, too.
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.891
He was lost at sea before I was born.
00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:52.326
Here, give me that.
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.721
Well, this is your family now, boy.
00:25:57.880 --> 00:25:59.882
For better or for worse.
00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:03.329
Worse, mostly.
00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:07.643
Swab the deck, kid.
00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:27.128
Dogwatch! You're gonna learn
what it takes to be Whalers today, mates.
00:26:27.280 --> 00:26:28.770
Aye, sir!
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.320
You led that line wrong, Nickerson.
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.401
Aye, sir.
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.170
We'll stay at this
till sundown if we have to.
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:34.600
Aye, Mr. Joy, sir!
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.926
Main topsail leech lines!
00:26:36.080 --> 00:26:37.570
Harpooner, make ready to boat!
00:26:37.800 --> 00:26:39.480
- Aye, sir!
- Aye, Mr. Joy!
00:26:39.520 --> 00:26:41.045
Go main topsail leech lines.
00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:42.810
Too slow, you damn coofs!
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:44.001
The bailing piggins.
00:26:44.280 --> 00:26:46.044
You will learn
every inch of this ship
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:48.320
- before you return to your bunks.
- Aye, sir!
00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:53.409
Sweat that line, Barz.
00:26:53.560 --> 00:26:54.561
You need to move quicker, Mr. Ray.
00:26:54.800 --> 00:26:55.840
Aye, Mr. Chase.
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.480
Ain't no greenhorns
no more, Mr. Chase.
00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:01.044
You're a sailor now!
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:06.722
Not bad, Mr. Ray. Well done.
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.609
- Forecourse bunts!
- Aye, sir.
00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:11.047
Get used to it, lads.
You're gonna work like horses.
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:12.201
Mr. Chase?
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.961
Sir.
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.961
Set stunsails.
00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:18.960
Is that wise, sir?
We're nearing the Gulf Stream.
00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:21.080
Best keep it five knots
till we can see the weather.
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.049
We are two days behind.
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.091
We need to make up the time
if we're to catch the easterlies.
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.168
Set stunsails.
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:35.730
- Set stunsails.
- Aye, Mr. Chase!
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.322
- Come on, move.
- Belay that! Set stunsails!
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.164
Get aloft, Mr. Coffin.
00:27:41.320 --> 00:27:42.800
- The captain wants speed.
- Aye, sir.
00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:44.725
Look for braces, lads.
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.040
- Trim for speed.
- Aye, sir.
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:49.921
Set fore the main topsail
and topgallant stunsails, men. Move it.
00:27:52.320 --> 00:27:54.402
Make fast your stunsail halyard.
00:27:54.560 --> 00:27:56.244
Make fast stunsail halyard, sir.
00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:58.530
Stunsail boom ready, sir!
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.008
Bracing fore topsail, sir.
00:28:02.280 --> 00:28:03.805
Hey!
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:22.803
The captain's got us moving now!
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:24.640
We're finally getting somewhere!
00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:27.890
She may be old,
but she can still roll, boys!
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:39.720
Sir, a squall on the starboard bow.
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.962
We must shorten sail immediately.
00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:43.963
Not just yet, Mr. Chase.
00:28:44.280 --> 00:28:46.487
Sir, we are headed into a squall
at more than 8 knots,
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:47.971
and it's moving faster than that.
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.401
Let it come.
The men are soft from months on land.
00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:51.561
They need a good baptism.
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.051
Let them know our work has begun.
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.484
If we don't shorten sail and bear off,
it'll catch us on the beam.
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.769
Mr. Chase, we will stand on.
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.411
Mr. Lawrence?
00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:05.561
Hold our course.
00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:07.126
Holding course, sir.
00:29:07.280 --> 00:29:10.443
We'll lose half a day running
like that. We'll skirt the edge of it.
00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:13.644
If the men can't handle a gust like this,
then God help us all.
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:26.204
Best secure for heavy weather.
00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:27.960
Rough weather coming up, boys.
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.047
Get this deck secure.
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.128
Double gripes on the boats!
00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:47.124
Best prepare for weather, Mr. Bond.
00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:49.009
We're headed into a squall.
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:50.650
Secure the main hatch!
00:29:50.800 --> 00:29:51.840
She's moving fast!
00:30:07.560 --> 00:30:09.528
We must fall off and run with it.
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.564
We will stand on, Mr. Chase.
00:30:11.840 --> 00:30:13.080
Mr. Lawrence!
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.164
- Hold your course.
- Holding course, sir.
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:30.001
Sea's coming aboard!
00:30:30.280 --> 00:30:31.850
Hold on!
00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:33.970
Shorten sail, Mr. Chase!
00:30:34.280 --> 00:30:36.960
- Climb to weather and grab the shrouds!
- Climb to weather!
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:39.083
Get to windward and hold on!
00:30:39.760 --> 00:30:43.446
- We need to get those sails down!
- Go lee!
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:46.922
Nickerson, hold fast!
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:49.725
Hold steady lines!
00:30:58.120 --> 00:30:59.360
Hold fast!
00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:00.807
Turn the ship!
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.361
Turn to leeward!
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.444
No! The damage is done!
00:31:04.800 --> 00:31:07.201
- Strike topgallants. Let fly sheets!
- No, turn the ship!
00:31:07.360 --> 00:31:08.885
Veer off, Mr. Lawrence.
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:11.202
It's too late! It's too goddamn late!
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:13.522
- We'll be broadsided!
- Turn this ship!
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:22.726
- Hold on!
- Turn!
00:31:23.080 --> 00:31:25.560
Strike those damn topgallants!
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:33.441
Hold on!
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:05.882
Look out!
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.525
Mr. Joy!
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.920
- We have to cut away the topgallants!
- Topgallants away!
00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:32.680
We have to get her upright!
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:28.450
You wish to see me, sir?
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:31.730
At six bells tomorrow,
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:34.882
you will assemble the crew.
00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:38.840
Inform them that we will be returning
to Nantucket for repairs.
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:40.684
You will then apologize to them
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:42.206
for interfering with a captain's order,
00:33:42.360 --> 00:33:44.761
which nearly cost the lives
of every man on this ship today.
00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:46.121
What?
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:48.966
I'll accept your resignation
upon our return to port.
00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:50.407
That will be all.
00:33:51.120 --> 00:33:53.885
- It was your order to set stunsails, sir.
- That decision was sound.
00:33:54.040 --> 00:33:55.769
The men needed testing.
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:57.410
So you send them into a storm?
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.165
That was unlucky.
00:33:59.320 --> 00:34:01.368
No, it was bad seamanship.
00:34:01.560 --> 00:34:03.767
And blaming misfortune
is just plain weakness.
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:05.285
Damn your impertinence!
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.888
Do you know who you're speaking to?
00:34:08.040 --> 00:34:10.646
My name is Captain George Pollard.
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:11.801
Pollard!
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.647
And you, Mr. Chase,
no matter how many whale pins
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.325
you may have on your lapel,
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.244
are nothing more than the son of a farmer
00:34:21.640 --> 00:34:24.689
who's managed to bully his way
into an officer's tunic.
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:27.771
Now get out.
00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:33.646
To return to port
without a single barrel of oil
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:35.365
would be a mistake, sir.
00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:38.561
And not behoove a man
whose name is Pollard.
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:40.849
Or Chase, for that matter.
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:42.800
And the best thing for both of us
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.571
would be to work all hours God sends us,
00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:48.485
fill this ship with oil
and be home inside a year
00:34:48.640 --> 00:34:50.688
and rid of one another
as quickly as possible.
00:34:54.120 --> 00:34:56.851
Trust me, I am every bit
as desirous of that as you.
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:02.609
Of course, that is a captain's decision.
00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:16.362
They were like an ill-married couple.
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:21.204
An ill-married couple
will tolerate each other, Mr. Melville.
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.204
But an ill-married couple
can also bring down a ship.
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:26.000
Are you married, Mr. Melville?
00:35:27.040 --> 00:35:29.202
- I am.
- God have mercy on you.
00:35:30.720 --> 00:35:31.960
First child on the way, too.
00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:34.085
So, does your good wife
know that you've brought
00:35:34.240 --> 00:35:36.447
all you have in the world here tonight
00:35:36.600 --> 00:35:37.681
and given it to a stranger?
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.441
No, sir.
00:35:40.720 --> 00:35:42.722
You're full of surprises, aren't you?
00:35:43.560 --> 00:35:44.721
So,
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.328
the Essex did not return to port.
00:35:49.600 --> 00:35:50.647
She did not.
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:54.404
- She continued out to sea.
- Yes, she did.
00:35:54.560 --> 00:35:55.971
And before long,
00:35:56.120 --> 00:35:57.326
we heard that call
00:35:57.560 --> 00:35:59.449
that all whalemen pray for.
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:01.720
"Blows."
00:36:03.520 --> 00:36:05.329
Blows!
00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:06.966
To windward!
00:36:07.240 --> 00:36:08.890
There she blows!
00:36:09.240 --> 00:36:11.846
Right or sperm, Mr. Ramsdell?
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.331
Sperm whales they are!
00:36:13.520 --> 00:36:15.010
There go the flukes!
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:16.526
Mr. Chase!
00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:17.920
Hoist and swing boats.
00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:20.089
All hands! All hands on deck!
00:36:20.600 --> 00:36:23.285
All hands on deck!
00:36:26.200 --> 00:36:27.611
Away the boats.
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.763
Lower away!
00:36:57.120 --> 00:36:59.361
Straight! Crack them backbones.
00:36:59.520 --> 00:37:00.965
Aye, sir!
00:37:01.120 --> 00:37:02.326
Give way all.
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:05.290
Spring those oars till your arms fall off.
00:37:08.560 --> 00:37:09.686
There they breach!
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:13.007
Thataway, boys! Full pressure!
00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:14.241
Aye, sir!
00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:17.325
Come on! Put your back into it.
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.327
Pull!
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:22.686
Pull like a vengeance!
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:24.370
There she blows!
00:37:27.240 --> 00:37:29.004
- That's a calf.
- Whoo-hoo!
00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:33.201
That's the calf?
00:37:33.600 --> 00:37:34.647
That's the cow.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.525
And that's our boy!
That's the money.
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:50.764
- Nickerson, push!
- Sorry, sir.
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:52.321
Forty-barreler?
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.841
Fifty.
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:56.362
Oh, he's a buster!
00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:58.930
Bite the oars, lads.
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.164
Blister your goddamn lungs!
00:38:01.520 --> 00:38:02.806
Full pressure!
00:38:03.240 --> 00:38:05.481
Smartly, lads! Smartly!
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:06.961
Mind your oars!
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.886
- Mr. Ramsdell, prepare the line.
- Aye, sir.
00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:16.240
Mr. Lawrence, the first one's mine.
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.845
Take me to the pretty spot.
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.889
- Pull!
- Come on. Stay on him.
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.006
You're on your first
Nantucket sleigh ride, boy.
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:46.651
Oh, my God!
00:38:47.120 --> 00:38:48.281
Whoo!
00:38:58.240 --> 00:38:59.605
Look at him!
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.888
The most fearsome creature
ever to live on this Earth.
00:39:12.040 --> 00:39:13.246
He sounds.
00:39:16.600 --> 00:39:17.681
My hands!
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:27.608
LAWRENCE. We need
to wet the line, Nickerson.
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.568
Give way, lads. Give way.
00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:43.649
Got 140 fathoms
of line left, Mr. Chase.
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.323
Eighty fathoms of line left, sir!
00:39:59.720 --> 00:40:00.846
He's gonna pull us under!
00:40:03.560 --> 00:40:04.721
Matthew, I need your line!
00:40:05.160 --> 00:40:06.366
Keep going!
00:40:06.520 --> 00:40:08.841
- Peterson, give me the line.
- Aye, sir.
00:40:09.080 --> 00:40:10.809
Give me that line, Mr. Peterson.
00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:13.322
We're down
to 60 fathoms of line left, sir!
00:40:15.600 --> 00:40:17.648
- Twenty fathoms, Mr. Chase.
- Tie it off!
00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:23.568
- Safe!
- Go!
00:40:36.720 --> 00:40:38.848
- Peterson, lay out.
- Aye, sir.
00:40:39.720 --> 00:40:41.768
How many fathoms can he go?
00:40:42.600 --> 00:40:44.523
70 fathoms left, sir.
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:48.081
No, no, no, wait.
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.201
- Owen!
- No, no! Not yet!
00:40:55.520 --> 00:40:56.885
Don't touch that line!
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:59.248
Down to 50 fathoms, sir.
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.361
Owen, God damn it!
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:04.211
I said don't touch it!
00:41:04.520 --> 00:41:06.727
30 fathoms left, Mr. Joy.
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:11.845
Ten fathoms left, sir!
00:41:48.040 --> 00:41:49.610
Backwater!
00:41:53.120 --> 00:41:54.326
Push!
00:41:58.000 --> 00:41:59.729
Chimney's afire!
00:42:00.040 --> 00:42:01.326
Chimney's afire!
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:03.401
Afire!
00:42:35.560 --> 00:42:36.800
Hurry it along, lads.
00:42:37.720 --> 00:42:40.803
God! Get out, you bastards.
00:42:56.040 --> 00:42:57.565
Blubber in the Oil.
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:00.008
Smell that, boys!
That's us making money!
00:43:00.160 --> 00:43:02.811
Get out of there,
you sons of bitches.
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:07.800
- There, you got it?
- There's not a chance.
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:13.800
- How's it looking?
- It's not good.
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:17.365
That's it.
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.207
- Mr. Chase, sir.
- Yeah?
00:43:24.200 --> 00:43:26.120
That's all of it, sir.
We can't get any more out.
00:43:26.560 --> 00:43:28.688
That's the gold in there, boys.
Come on, keep digging.
00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:30.645
We're too big to wriggle down there.
00:43:31.120 --> 00:43:32.360
Then find someone who can.
00:43:38.240 --> 00:43:40.242
Nickerson! Come here, boy.
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.366
Hey! I said come here.
00:43:48.120 --> 00:43:49.246
Climb on into him.
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:52.160
Come on, Thomas.
00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:54.320
What's in there is worth
a hell of a lot more
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.244
than what they're boiling down.
00:44:00.560 --> 00:44:01.561
Sir!
00:44:02.600 --> 00:44:03.806
I can't, I'm...
00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:05.721
I'm sorry. I can't.
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.846
You get down there,
or I'll have you sleep down there.
00:44:11.680 --> 00:44:14.001
You best put that between your teeth, boy.
00:44:14.600 --> 00:44:16.762
Stinks worse than
the devil's asshole down there.
00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:22.166
Thanks.
00:44:27.240 --> 00:44:28.287
Sorry.
00:44:28.600 --> 00:44:30.807
Here, Nickerson,
take my pillow with you.
00:44:33.720 --> 00:44:34.801
Down you go.
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.322
A man gets to know himself down there.
00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:58.726
- They ever send you into a whale's head?
- No.
00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:01.041
I was spared.
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:04.327
Well, that's where the treasure is.
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.807
I'll never forget that first bull.
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:11.446
Forty-seven barrels.
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.211
'Course, the happiness was short-lived.
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:17.641
The waters there had all been fished out?
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:19.131
That they had.
00:45:20.040 --> 00:45:22.646
So, we headed further out.
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:26.526
Yeah.
00:45:26.680 --> 00:45:29.160
Took us a month to round the Horn.
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.003
Left the South Atlantic behind
with a sliver of hope
00:45:34.160 --> 00:45:36.606
that things could change for the better.
00:45:38.120 --> 00:45:41.408
But making the Pacific
didn't improve our lot.
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.127
Whale sightings were too damn scarce.
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:51.002
After nearly a year at sea,
00:45:51.160 --> 00:45:55.131
the temperaments of our captain
and first mate grew more strained.
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.606
Captain Pollard spent most
days and nights in his cabin,
00:46:01.160 --> 00:46:02.844
afraid to look his crew in the eye.
00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:10.766
Our hold was almost empty.
00:46:11.560 --> 00:46:14.530
And to gaze upon our paltry efforts
00:46:14.680 --> 00:46:16.842
only served as a reminder
00:46:17.040 --> 00:46:20.044
that we were a long way from going home.
00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:45.726
No, no. I don't talk that talk.
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:47.564
- Speak English.
- Offer me more.
00:46:49.040 --> 00:46:52.044
- Here, sir.
- This, Nantucket whale oil.
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:56.569
- Ain't no skinny hog worth more than that.
- More!
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:51.128
Capitán. Excuse me.
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:53.567
The locals told me your voyage
was waylaid, sir.
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:56.124
Captain George Pollard. The Essex.
00:47:57.080 --> 00:47:59.481
Capitán Clemente Pelaez, the Santa Maria.
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:02.882
Would you buy a colleague a drink?
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:10.686
No, no.
00:48:12.120 --> 00:48:14.964
Bad luck? How far out?
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.641
Far enough for only a fool to go.
00:48:19.080 --> 00:48:20.525
How far would that be?
00:48:21.680 --> 00:48:24.001
A thousand leagues along the equator.
00:48:25.120 --> 00:48:26.167
The Offshore Grounds.
00:48:27.520 --> 00:48:29.090
Were there whales there?
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.241
More than you've ever dreamed.
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:33.686
Hundreds.
00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:37.209
Fields of flukes far as the eye can see.
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:40.364
Could have filled up 3,000 barrels
in the space of a day.
00:48:40.560 --> 00:48:41.800
What do you mean, "could have"?
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:48.567
If it weren't for that demon.
00:48:50.640 --> 00:48:51.926
A whale.
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:54.684
White as alabaster.
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:57.362
Hundred feet long.
00:48:58.680 --> 00:49:00.842
Sent six of my crew to their graves.
00:49:09.560 --> 00:49:12.643
And the rest of us,
something to remember him by.
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:15.240
Now, this white whale,
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.641
did he dance a jig
and pick your pocket as well?
00:49:18.240 --> 00:49:19.241
Hmm?
00:49:23.200 --> 00:49:24.247
Gracias.
00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:29.884
You believe that?
00:49:32.640 --> 00:49:35.928
If we set sail now,
catch the south easterlies
00:49:36.080 --> 00:49:37.600
at their best time and fill our belly,
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.205
we could be home in six months.
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.084
What say you, Mr. Chase?
00:49:43.240 --> 00:49:44.605
No need to endure our predicament
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:46.444
for a moment longer than necessary.
00:49:46.600 --> 00:49:47.931
Amen to that.
00:49:48.240 --> 00:49:49.241
Amen.
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:54.568
Greed took hold
of our captain and first mate.
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:56.970
So we headed out.
00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:59.687
A thousand leagues along the equator.
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.401
Where knowledge ended, speculation began.
00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:06.849
That's where the whales had gone to hide.
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:10.810
As far from man as they could possibly go.
00:50:11.240 --> 00:50:12.924
But we hunted them down.
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:15.885
Centuries before,
00:50:16.040 --> 00:50:19.203
sailors feared
sailing off the edge of the Earth.
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:24.043
But we were headed for the edge of sanity.
00:50:27.680 --> 00:50:29.489
Trust gave way to doubt.
00:50:30.640 --> 00:50:33.450
Hope to blind superstition.
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:35.803
Captain, the men are talking.
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:38.041
That's what men do.
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:40.687
They aren't happy with your decision
to sail out this far.
00:50:42.240 --> 00:50:44.083
Well, did you correct them?
00:50:44.240 --> 00:50:47.130
Did you remind them of our purpose
to fill this ship with whale oil,
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:50.090
and if the whales are 1,000 leagues out,
that that is where we will go?
00:50:50.240 --> 00:50:52.368
Cousin, please.
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:56.765
This is madness.
00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:00.645
You have let yourself
be influenced by that man.
00:51:01.120 --> 00:51:02.849
You must turn this ship back.
00:51:03.560 --> 00:51:06.131
I suggest you go back down,
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:09.648
reassure the men, be a leader
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.411
and don't ever, ever abuse
the privilege of family with me again.
00:51:16.640 --> 00:51:18.130
Mr. Coffin.
00:51:48.040 --> 00:51:49.041
What is it?
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:50.761
Listen.
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.201
Mr. Chase?
I see some white water.
00:51:53.520 --> 00:51:54.840
- Where?
- Portside!
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:56.291
- We're away!
- Portside, Captain!
00:51:56.600 --> 00:51:58.640
- Where are they?
- You see anything?
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:06.927
Lower away!
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:11.331
Lower away! Lower away!
00:52:11.560 --> 00:52:14.040
The devil take the Mexican grounds!
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:54.964
Peak oars!
00:52:55.120 --> 00:52:57.600
Give it to him, Mr. Chappel!
00:52:58.720 --> 00:53:00.404
Stick him, man! Stick him!
00:53:05.080 --> 00:53:06.923
Dead ahead, Peterson!
00:53:18.160 --> 00:53:22.131
Don't let him chew your oars, boys.
Back to it.
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.206
- The whale?
- Yes.
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:51.361
- So it's true?
- Yes.
00:53:52.040 --> 00:53:53.644
Too much is true.
00:53:54.640 --> 00:53:55.971
Get it up!
00:54:11.560 --> 00:54:13.210
Full pressure!
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.161
Mr. Bond!
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:31.403
Back the foreyard, lower the tackle!
00:54:31.560 --> 00:54:32.846
Aye, sir!
00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:36.011
Here she comes, Peterson. Now, now!
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.280
Mr. Lawrence, take us leeward,
head us straight for the school.
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:53.481
Aye, sir.
00:54:53.680 --> 00:54:55.842
- Hot tar, sir.
- We'll find him.
00:55:01.040 --> 00:55:02.405
We're boat to black skin.
00:55:03.400 --> 00:55:04.481
Beach us on her!
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:16.090
She's ours, men!
00:55:48.080 --> 00:55:49.764
What was that, Mr. Lawrence?
00:55:54.120 --> 00:55:55.451
Mr. Chase!
00:56:03.640 --> 00:56:04.641
God damn it.
00:56:05.600 --> 00:56:06.806
Find Mr...
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:33.171
Mr. Easton!
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.406
Get Mr. Lawrence
to man the pumps!
00:56:53.240 --> 00:56:54.241
Where is he?
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:56.166
Port bow!
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.167
Get me the biggest irons we have.
00:57:13.720 --> 00:57:14.846
He wants a fight?
00:57:25.240 --> 00:57:26.401
Never seen a whale do that.
00:57:26.680 --> 00:57:27.886
Mr. Lawrence,
take the wheel.
00:57:28.040 --> 00:57:30.202
Mr. Ramsdell,
secure the other end of the line
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:31.930
- to the foremast.
- Aye, sir.
00:57:32.240 --> 00:57:35.403
As I live and breathe, he's mine.
00:57:58.680 --> 00:57:59.681
Ah!
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:22.402
- Cut the line!
- Look out!
00:59:16.640 --> 00:59:17.926
- Captain!
- What?
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:20.641
The Essex! She's listing.
00:59:32.040 --> 00:59:33.769
Turn this boat around!
01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:10.961
- Help me!
- Nickerson!
01:00:11.120 --> 01:00:12.485
- Mr. Joy!
- Here!
01:00:12.640 --> 01:00:13.721
- Give me your hand!
- Help!
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:15.046
Nickerson!
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:52.566
Mr. Chase!
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:56.285
A whale, sir.
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:58.010
It stove the ship.
01:00:58.680 --> 01:00:59.761
What?
01:00:59.960 --> 01:01:02.486
We lost Easton and Sanborn.
01:01:05.240 --> 01:01:06.765
The pumps are useless, sir.
01:01:14.240 --> 01:01:15.730
Prepare to abandon ship.
01:01:16.040 --> 01:01:17.371
We can't row our way home.
01:01:18.200 --> 01:01:19.645
We'll have to strip her of her sails
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:21.325
- and jimmy-rig something.
- Aye, sir.
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:23.881
Gather as much food
and water as you can carry.
01:01:24.040 --> 01:01:26.327
We're gonna need
all the fresh water you can find.
01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:28.400
Nickerson,
you grab as much as you can.
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:29.441
Barz, come with me.
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:35.771
Sweet Lord!
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:37.928
First, the sails,
then the provisions.
01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:43.090
Get as much food
as you can carry, lad.
01:01:44.600 --> 01:01:45.965
Make haste, boys!
01:01:46.120 --> 01:01:48.964
Nickerson, there are
more casks in steerage.
01:01:49.120 --> 01:01:51.282
- Got it?
- Hardtack is dry.
01:01:51.640 --> 01:01:52.971
Move sprightly, gentlemen.
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:54.281
Lower away!
01:01:54.600 --> 01:01:56.762
- Take those tack lines.
- Up aloft!
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:57.960
Lower away! Bring it down!
01:01:58.080 --> 01:01:59.240
Mr. Cole, get that yard down.
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:00.880
Bring it down. Keep it coming!
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:03.325
Hold off!
01:02:11.120 --> 01:02:13.080
- Come on, Nickerson!
- Get those sails!
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:15.841
There you go.
01:02:19.200 --> 01:02:20.406
Get that yard down!
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.081
We need the sails. Not enough water.
01:02:30.720 --> 01:02:32.006
Get the barrels, now!
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:34.161
Strip that rigging!
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:36.720
More fresh water!
More hardtack! Come on!
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:38.720
I can see
more casks in the steerage!
01:02:40.200 --> 01:02:41.640
Benjamin! Quick! Come on!
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:42.886
- Give me your hand!
- Get him up.
01:02:43.040 --> 01:02:44.166
I got you.
01:02:44.520 --> 01:02:45.726
Hardtack!
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:47.684
Come on! Move it!
01:02:48.640 --> 01:02:49.926
Step lively, Mr. Nickerson!
01:02:56.520 --> 01:02:57.681
Gotta get away from the oil!
01:02:57.840 --> 01:02:59.480
She's going down! She's listing!
01:02:59.520 --> 01:03:00.521
Where's Owen?
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:01.847
Nickerson, where is Mr. Chase?
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:03.650
He was just here, sir.
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:06.047
- Come on, hurry up!
- Owen!
01:03:06.200 --> 01:03:08.000
- Mr. Chase!
- We gotta shove off!
01:03:08.560 --> 01:03:09.607
Come on, now, boys!
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:11.166
Oil on deck!
01:03:12.600 --> 01:03:14.364
- Captain!
- Mr. Chase!
01:03:34.560 --> 01:03:35.971
Mr. Chase, sir!
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:37.805
Owen!
01:03:38.120 --> 01:03:39.406
Where is the first mate?
01:03:39.560 --> 01:03:42.291
- Owen!
- Mr. Chase, sir!
01:03:50.120 --> 01:03:51.645
- Owen!
- She's gonna blow!
01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:53.120
- Owen!
- We gotta move!
01:03:53.240 --> 01:03:55.083
No, wait! Wait!
01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:56.686
Mr. Chase, sir!
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:00.046
Mr. Chase!
01:04:44.680 --> 01:04:46.762
There he is!
There he is! There he is!
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:50.890
- Over here!
- Mr. Chase!
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:54.811
Move that!
01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:57.164
Mr. Chase, sir.
01:04:57.480 --> 01:04:59.130
- Here!
- Get ahold, now.
01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:00.606
We got you.
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:03.800
- Sir.
- You're all right now, Mr. Chase.
01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:09.086
Going fishing, are we?
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:11.482
Clean and load it, Mr. Joy.
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:26.045
Back away,
or she'll take us down with her.
01:07:10.120 --> 01:07:11.121
Captain.
01:07:12.120 --> 01:07:13.281
What about our provisions?
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:22.207
Two ounces of hardtack a day per man.
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:25.124
And half a cup of water.
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:30.644
Hey, man, we can't live on that.
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:32.320
Not for more than a few days.
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:50.361
It's he.
01:07:55.640 --> 01:07:57.130
Yeah, it's him, all right.
01:08:00.680 --> 01:08:02.489
You don't fool me, Mr. Chase.
01:08:03.240 --> 01:08:04.366
Mr. Coffin?
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:06.848
- That right?
- You put us here.
01:08:07.160 --> 01:08:09.128
You know you put us here.
01:08:10.560 --> 01:08:12.680
- Hey! Put it down!
- Mr. Coffin, put the pistol down.
01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:14.166
- Say you're scared!
- What are you doing?
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:16.000
Mr. Coffin, put the pistol down.
01:08:16.040 --> 01:08:18.200
You know what happens
when the food and water runs out?
01:08:18.480 --> 01:08:20.209
Do as the captain says, Coffin!
01:08:20.520 --> 01:08:21.726
I just wanna see the landsman scared.
01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:23.800
Mr. Coffin, put the pistol down.
That's an order!
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:26.081
- Do as the captain says! Now!
- Say it!
01:08:26.240 --> 01:08:27.280
- Henry.
- Say it!
01:08:28.320 --> 01:08:29.367
Say it!
01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:30.847
Henry!
01:08:31.400 --> 01:08:33.050
Put the pistol down.
01:08:37.320 --> 01:08:38.526
Henry!
01:08:39.400 --> 01:08:40.526
Put it down.
01:09:17.200 --> 01:09:18.611
So east it was.
01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:21.961
Back in the direction we'd come.
01:09:22.760 --> 01:09:25.764
Though only the sun
and compass told us so.
01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:29.127
All directions looked the same.
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:32.570
Our hope was to catch
the Westerlies to Easter Island.
01:09:34.200 --> 01:09:35.964
A journey of 3,000 miles.
01:09:37.760 --> 01:09:39.330
In 12 days, we have drifted south.
01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:41.883
Six degrees latitude.
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:45.371
We're not one mile closer
to Easter Island.
01:09:46.320 --> 01:09:47.800
We stayed in the same place.
01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:52.449
We are cursed.
01:09:52.800 --> 01:09:55.121
We'll make up for it
when we catch the variables.
01:09:58.400 --> 01:09:59.765
We'll catch them.
01:10:29.920 --> 01:10:31.763
Chappel!
01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:33.160
Chappel!
01:10:33.800 --> 01:10:35.165
Chappel!
01:10:35.320 --> 01:10:36.321
You've got him, Captain!
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:44.042
Mr. Joy, the halyard's jammed!
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:51.241
Mr. Joy!
You all right, Mr. Joy?
01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:56.166
Grab the tiller!
01:10:57.160 --> 01:10:58.605
- Grab it!
- Matthew!
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:02.125
Get that sail down!
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:34.802
Matthew. Hey, what happened?
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:36.726
What happened?
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:38.689
Owen. What are you doing here?
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:40.081
- Let me take a look.
- No, no, no.
01:11:40.240 --> 01:11:41.920
- Lay still. Let me look.
- Owen, I'm fine.
01:11:42.040 --> 01:11:43.405
All right. Just relax. Relax.
Let me take a look.
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:44.680
- I'm fine!
- I know. I know.
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:46.210
I just wanna take a look.
01:11:50.400 --> 01:11:53.244
I banged my head.
Just a scratch, all right?
01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:54.766
- Just a scratch.
- Give him some water.
01:11:55.080 --> 01:11:58.050
- I don't need any water!
- Give him some goddamn water!
01:11:58.200 --> 01:12:00.123
No, no, no. I don't need water. I'm fine.
01:12:07.440 --> 01:12:09.010
- Yeah.
- Take that. Take it.
01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:12.410
Hey. I got you, I got you.
01:12:13.240 --> 01:12:16.005
You're all right. You're all right.
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:23.007
Hey! What're you all looking at?
I'm fine.
01:12:23.160 --> 01:12:25.003
Captain Pollard. Fit as a fiddle.
01:12:26.120 --> 01:12:28.088
Fit as a goddamned fiddle. You hear me?
01:12:29.080 --> 01:12:30.161
- Owen.
- Yeah.
01:12:30.360 --> 01:12:31.566
I'm fine.
01:12:31.720 --> 01:12:33.245
All right? I'm fine!
01:12:34.040 --> 01:12:37.601
- You're a tough son of a bitch.
- Thank you. I'm fine. Get out of here.
01:12:38.760 --> 01:12:40.091
He's good.
01:12:41.160 --> 01:12:42.321
Let's go.
01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:46.240
Why waste water on a dead man?
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:51.771
Them two men have known each other,
sailed together since childhood.
01:12:52.000 --> 01:12:53.001
Now, tell me,
01:12:53.160 --> 01:12:56.243
could you sit there and watch
your own brother die?
01:12:56.800 --> 01:12:59.280
Simply a matter of numbers, Mr. Chappel.
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:02.722
There's not enough for all of us.
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:17.371
Why waste water on a dead man?
01:13:18.280 --> 01:13:19.520
Why waste water on...
01:13:20.400 --> 01:13:23.006
Why waste water? Why waste?
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:25.808
Why waste water on a dead man?
01:13:26.360 --> 01:13:27.521
Mr. Nickerson?
01:13:29.160 --> 01:13:30.889
- Why waste water...
- You all right, sir?
01:13:32.120 --> 01:13:34.327
- I cannot.
- Cannot what?
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:36.165
No, you...
01:13:36.320 --> 01:13:38.322
You have enough. More than enough.
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:40.125
But, sir, we've come so far.
01:13:40.360 --> 01:13:41.646
We have come to an end.
01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:43.086
We have an agreement, sir.
01:13:43.360 --> 01:13:44.885
Take the money and leave!
01:13:45.040 --> 01:13:46.326
The devil's bargain.
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:48.166
No, sir.
01:13:48.360 --> 01:13:50.488
The devil loves unspoken secrets.
01:13:54.120 --> 01:13:56.361
Especially those that
fester in a man's soul.
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:00.205
What's yours?
01:14:19.360 --> 01:14:20.725
I am not a great writer.
01:14:24.160 --> 01:14:25.525
I am not Hawthorne.
01:14:27.200 --> 01:14:29.441
But from my first hearing of it,
01:14:30.200 --> 01:14:32.043
this tale has haunted me.
01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:35.405
It consumes me.
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:38.609
I fear if I do not write it,
01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:42.125
then I should never write again.
01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:44.726
What else?
01:14:47.080 --> 01:14:48.730
I fear if I do write it,
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:53.291
that it will not be
as good as it should be.
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:05.563
Continue the story, sir.
01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:08.489
For the both of us.
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:26.843
Pass that down.
01:15:31.440 --> 01:15:32.771
Thank you, sir.
01:15:38.120 --> 01:15:40.805
We thank you, Lord, for this is our food.
01:15:41.120 --> 01:15:42.246
I'm sorry.
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:44.608
For life and health,
01:15:45.440 --> 01:15:46.566
and every good.
01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:48.524
- Let all manner to...
- Land.
01:15:49.120 --> 01:15:50.201
Land!
01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:53.803
- Land! Land!
- Land!
01:15:54.120 --> 01:15:56.805
- Land!
- Land!
01:15:57.120 --> 01:16:00.090
Oars! Give way! Give way!
01:16:01.280 --> 01:16:04.284
Oars! Now! Give way! Row!
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.200
- I saw it, Mr. Chase.
- That you did, boy.
01:16:24.120 --> 01:16:27.010
Hold fast.
Hold fast! Hold fast!
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:31.000
- Mr. Chase, sir. What is it?
- Mr. Chase!
01:16:31.480 --> 01:16:33.847
What the devil is it?
Why have you stopped?
01:16:34.160 --> 01:16:35.491
He's been following us!
01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:37.609
What is he talking about?
01:16:38.120 --> 01:16:39.800
There's nothing out there,
Mr. Chase!
01:16:40.040 --> 01:16:42.560
- There ain't nothing out there, sir!
- Sir, what are you doing?
01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:58.081
Brace! Brace! Brace!
01:17:00.160 --> 01:17:01.161
No!
01:17:25.040 --> 01:17:26.201
Where is he?
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:30.404
This could be Ducie Island.
01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:33.765
Without a map, compass or quadrant,
there's no way to be certain.
01:19:34.360 --> 01:19:36.647
We will keep fires going night and day.
01:19:37.360 --> 01:19:40.569
Hope a passing ship
catches sight of our smoke.
01:20:37.400 --> 01:20:39.050
This is what I wanted you to see.
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:49.882
They've been here a long time, no doubt.
01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:52.769
Waiting for a ship.
01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:55.449
But no ship came.
01:20:57.440 --> 01:20:59.329
No ship is going to come.
01:21:00.280 --> 01:21:01.770
If we stay, we die.
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:05.086
How long do you think
it'll take the tropic birds
01:21:05.440 --> 01:21:07.841
to stop coming here once
they see their eggs eaten?
01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:29.729
It's a privilege to know
the moment of one's death in advance,
01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:32.290
be able to prepare for it.
01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:36.326
Curse to be so far from home
01:21:37.960 --> 01:21:39.644
without a chance to say goodbyes,
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:42.041
without a chance to make peace,
01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:44.848
without a chance to settle the scores.
01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:51.846
Then let us at least settle
those between us, Captain.
01:21:54.520 --> 01:21:56.045
Captain of what?
01:21:56.680 --> 01:21:59.331
The Essex was lost
through no fault of yours.
01:21:59.480 --> 01:22:00.686
I was as much to blame for...
01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:02.644
You are not the captain.
01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:09.688
But you were born to do this job.
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:12.689
I was just born into it.
01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:27.881
What do we do, do you think, George?
01:22:29.240 --> 01:22:32.687
And what offense did we give God
to upset him so?
01:22:33.320 --> 01:22:35.000
The only creature to have
offended God here
01:22:35.080 --> 01:22:36.081
is the whale.
01:22:37.080 --> 01:22:38.366
Not us?
01:22:40.200 --> 01:22:43.522
In our arrogance, our greed,
look where we find ourselves.
01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:46.844
We are supreme creatures
made in God's own likeness.
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.571
Earthly kings whose business it is
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:52.927
to circumnavigate
the planet bestowed to us.
01:22:54.040 --> 01:22:55.769
To bend nature to our will.
01:22:56.320 --> 01:23:00.325
You really feel like an earthly king
after everything that we've been through?
01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:03.089
We're nothing. We're...
01:23:03.240 --> 01:23:05.561
We're specks. And dust.
01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:08.928
We sail into the sun at dawn.
01:23:10.360 --> 01:23:16.402
If we are to die,
then with God's grace, let us die as men.
01:23:28.240 --> 01:23:29.605
Are we ready, Mr. Weeks?
01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:30.807
Aye, sir.
01:23:38.400 --> 01:23:39.890
Mr. Chappel?
01:23:40.280 --> 01:23:41.281
Mr. Wright?
01:23:41.480 --> 01:23:43.130
I can't do it, sir.
01:23:44.080 --> 01:23:45.730
Me, Wrights and Weeks,
01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:48.160
we're staying.
01:23:56.800 --> 01:23:58.450
You ready to go, Matthew?
01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:10.920
I'll give you a hand.
Here, you gotta get up.
01:24:11.080 --> 01:24:12.491
No, there's no point. You hear me?
01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:14.483
No, we're going home.
We're going home.
01:24:14.640 --> 01:24:15.971
There's no point.
01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:18.490
Just go.
01:24:22.280 --> 01:24:23.964
God damn it, Matthew.
01:24:26.960 --> 01:24:28.166
It's all right.
01:24:29.440 --> 01:24:31.841
Well, I'll send a boat for you
the minute we get back.
01:24:32.040 --> 01:24:34.361
Then we'll play cards
back in Nantucket, all right?
01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:35.766
Yeah.
01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:37.644
- It's a deal.
- Good.
01:24:44.240 --> 01:24:46.811
You want me to open that for you?
01:24:47.040 --> 01:24:48.041
Ah...
01:24:50.840 --> 01:24:52.171
I think I'll manage.
01:24:53.200 --> 01:24:54.531
If it comes to that.
01:24:58.520 --> 01:25:00.249
God be with you, brother.
01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:03.450
Yeah, and you.
01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:24.045
Brother Peterson?
01:25:25.560 --> 01:25:27.210
Y'all coming with us?
01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:28.921
Mr. Peterson.
01:25:29.080 --> 01:25:31.367
Why don't you come in our boat
with Mr. Bond here?
01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:06.489
Where... Where is he?
01:26:08.200 --> 01:26:09.565
Pollard?
01:26:10.840 --> 01:26:13.207
Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence, wake up.
01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:16.130
Where's the other boat gone?
01:26:17.040 --> 01:26:18.804
- Pollard!
- Captain Pollard!
01:26:19.080 --> 01:26:21.811
- Captain Pollard!
- Captain Pollard, sir!
01:26:22.280 --> 01:26:23.805
- Pollard.
- Captain!
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:26.324
Captain Pollard!
01:26:29.360 --> 01:26:30.486
Pollard!
01:26:35.280 --> 01:26:36.361
What's the matter?
01:26:52.440 --> 01:26:53.965
Benjamin. What are you doing?
01:26:54.760 --> 01:26:56.000
He's dead.
01:26:56.600 --> 01:26:58.011
Putting him overboard, sir.
01:27:00.640 --> 01:27:01.926
Look at me.
01:27:02.080 --> 01:27:03.127
Look at me, Benjamin.
01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:12.286
No right-minded sailor discards
what might yet save him.
01:27:23.480 --> 01:27:25.482
Listen to me, boy. Listen to me.
01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:31.330
He can help us.
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:33.764
My God. My heavenly king.
01:27:34.160 --> 01:27:37.687
Sweetness is the power of his grace.
01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:39.001
With longing eyes,
01:27:39.440 --> 01:27:42.410
thy creatures await on thee
for daily food.
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:45.928
My soul is dead.
01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:01.883
So it was decided.
01:28:09.040 --> 01:28:10.724
We prepared the body.
01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:15.768
We removed the organs.
01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:21.251
Separated his limbs from his body
01:28:22.920 --> 01:28:25.491
and cut all the flesh from the bones.
01:28:30.040 --> 01:28:31.246
After which,
01:28:32.400 --> 01:28:34.164
we closed the body
01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:36.721
and we sewed it up
01:28:37.720 --> 01:28:39.722
as decently as we could
01:28:40.320 --> 01:28:42.561
and committed it to the sea.
01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:46.449
We ate the heart first.
01:28:55.080 --> 01:28:56.491
You judge me.
01:28:58.760 --> 01:28:59.807
No.
01:29:06.240 --> 01:29:07.446
There.
01:29:08.320 --> 01:29:09.481
There.
01:29:10.440 --> 01:29:11.771
It is done.
01:29:14.440 --> 01:29:15.771
It is out.
01:29:17.600 --> 01:29:19.204
And you've never told anyone?
01:29:21.760 --> 01:29:22.807
No.
01:29:24.600 --> 01:29:25.806
Not even your wife?
01:29:27.280 --> 01:29:29.521
Do you think she could ever love me
01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:32.809
if she knew the abominations
I had committed?
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:34.883
Yes. She would.
01:29:36.320 --> 01:29:39.802
And if you had told me
the story when we met,
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:43.330
I would still wear your ring today.
01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:47.048
The strength of that boy
01:29:47.480 --> 01:29:49.323
still lives in you.
01:29:51.160 --> 01:29:52.400
I see that.
01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:55.244
Even if you don't.
01:30:16.480 --> 01:30:19.529
You can finish your story now, my love.
01:30:35.360 --> 01:30:36.646
Hey, sit up.
01:30:40.200 --> 01:30:41.440
Listen,
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.085
put your head back.
01:30:46.240 --> 01:30:48.925
Look, we still got
a few drops of water left.
01:30:49.760 --> 01:30:52.411
Don't you quit on me.
We're going home.
01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:01.925
Do you have a family back home, Mr. Chase?
01:31:02.080 --> 01:31:03.809
Yeah, I have a wife.
01:31:07.040 --> 01:31:09.441
Yes, and a son or a daughter.
01:31:54.880 --> 01:31:55.927
Very well.
01:31:58.120 --> 01:32:00.168
- Captain.
- We will draw again.
01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:02.045
We will do no such thing.
01:32:03.160 --> 01:32:04.241
We'll draw again.
01:32:05.080 --> 01:32:06.525
Mr. Ramsdell,
01:32:07.280 --> 01:32:08.964
you will assume command of this vessel.
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:13.086
Cousin, will you?
01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:15.927
You're our...
01:32:16.080 --> 01:32:18.367
You're our captain.
The men need you.
01:32:20.280 --> 01:32:21.645
The men will be fine.
01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:24.046
Please.
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:26.165
Please. Please.
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:28.370
- Henry.
- Let us draw again.
01:32:29.360 --> 01:32:30.850
It is an order.
01:32:32.760 --> 01:32:34.171
If you cannot do it,
01:32:34.360 --> 01:32:36.169
pass the pistol to another man.
01:33:04.360 --> 01:33:05.725
Henry, no, no, no!
01:33:15.040 --> 01:33:18.010
You gotta help me, kid.
You gotta help me.
01:33:21.840 --> 01:33:23.569
We were weeks in the doldrums.
01:33:24.240 --> 01:33:26.402
That part of the Pacific
is more desert than ocean.
01:33:27.760 --> 01:33:29.569
The sun beating down.
01:33:30.480 --> 01:33:31.606
My fear.
01:33:33.480 --> 01:33:35.005
All I could think about
01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:38.285
was that everyone would die,
01:33:38.440 --> 01:33:40.169
and I'd be the last left alive.
01:33:41.760 --> 01:33:45.526
And as best Mr. Chase could tell,
we were still 800 miles from land.
01:33:51.720 --> 01:33:53.210
Mr. Chase.
01:33:59.960 --> 01:34:01.041
Ah.
01:34:01.480 --> 01:34:02.845
Captain Pollard.
01:34:05.480 --> 01:34:06.891
I am happy to see you.
01:34:07.840 --> 01:34:10.320
Been very little happiness
in our survival.
01:34:12.400 --> 01:34:14.004
Or in ours, sir.
01:34:15.240 --> 01:34:16.765
Barzillai?
01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:21.130
The third boat?
01:34:22.160 --> 01:34:23.241
They've, uh...
01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:26.450
They've been gone for days.
01:34:27.360 --> 01:34:28.964
I'm afraid they're lost, sir.
01:34:58.760 --> 01:35:00.762
Mr. Chase,
you have the best position.
01:35:17.720 --> 01:35:19.131
It's just a whale.
01:35:23.360 --> 01:35:24.480
He's there! Throw the lance!
01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:26.647
Throw it!
01:35:31.640 --> 01:35:34.689
- Throw it! Throw the lance!
- Come on.
01:35:45.480 --> 01:35:47.084
Throw it!
01:35:47.240 --> 01:35:48.605
Come on.
01:35:57.120 --> 01:35:59.088
Kill it! He's there!
01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:00.886
Throw the lance!
01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:21.204
Why didn't you kill it?
01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:49.570
You're a damn fool.
01:37:13.400 --> 01:37:14.890
Currents drew us apart
01:37:16.880 --> 01:37:20.168
and that was the last we would see
of Captain Pollard's whale boat.
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:24.206
A boat!
01:37:25.520 --> 01:37:27.204
Broad on the port bow!
01:37:53.120 --> 01:37:54.451
May God have mercy.
01:38:37.480 --> 01:38:38.686
Mr. Chase.
01:38:41.240 --> 01:38:43.049
Father!
01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:47.167
Don't leave me, Father!
01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:39.445
Mr. Chase.
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:42.405
Mr. Chase.
01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:44.881
Sir, look. Look, sir.
01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:51.404
Mr. Chase, look.
01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:54.569
Wake up, Mr. Chase!
01:39:55.400 --> 01:39:56.606
Here, wake up!
01:39:58.200 --> 01:40:00.362
Please wake up, sir, there's land.
01:40:01.240 --> 01:40:02.844
Mr. Chase, look.
01:40:23.160 --> 01:40:24.605
We were rescued there,
01:40:25.280 --> 01:40:27.681
off the island of Más Afuera, Chile,
01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:31.571
90 days after the sinking of the Essex.
01:40:33.440 --> 01:40:35.283
They gave us some old clothes.
01:40:35.440 --> 01:40:36.851
Fed us, too.
01:40:38.480 --> 01:40:40.403
It was hard to eat at first.
01:40:40.560 --> 01:40:41.800
Strange.
01:40:43.480 --> 01:40:45.403
They looked after us as best they could
01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:47.841
till we found a ship
that would carry us home.
01:40:49.400 --> 01:40:51.243
That voyage took another three months.
01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:04.003
It looked like the whole island
turned out to see us return.
01:41:05.400 --> 01:41:07.129
But there were no cheers.
01:41:08.240 --> 01:41:09.446
Only silence.
01:41:11.120 --> 01:41:14.363
They looked at us like
we were apparitions,
01:41:15.400 --> 01:41:16.731
phantoms.
01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:22.005
We'd said nothing of the details
of our survival to anyone,
01:41:22.160 --> 01:41:25.209
but I wondered if they somehow
knew of our privations.
01:41:27.040 --> 01:41:28.690
Maybe they were just curious.
01:42:08.200 --> 01:42:09.725
Oh, my God!
01:42:17.120 --> 01:42:18.531
I promised, didn't I?
01:42:26.680 --> 01:42:27.886
Oh, God.
01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:30.727
Hi.
01:42:32.160 --> 01:42:33.844
Hey, sweetie. Who's this?
01:42:35.320 --> 01:42:36.446
Phoebe Ann.
01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:42.570
Phoebe Ann Chase, huh?
01:42:43.960 --> 01:42:45.325
This is Daddy.
01:42:47.320 --> 01:42:48.560
Hey, sweetie.
01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:55.365
It's your daddy.
01:43:03.360 --> 01:43:04.646
Oh, my God.
01:43:12.720 --> 01:43:14.760
Of course,
they couldn't leave him alone.
01:43:15.280 --> 01:43:18.329
Mr. Chase and his wife had
scarcely walked a block towards home
01:43:18.480 --> 01:43:21.768
when he was stopped and
made to return to the Maritime office.
01:43:23.240 --> 01:43:26.050
There were business matters
still in question.
01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:41.245
So, to the matter.
01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:49.362
Due to the significant loss of life
and property on our voyage,
01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:51.843
it seems there will be an inquiry.
01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:54.086
And as captain and first mate,
01:43:54.240 --> 01:43:56.208
we will be expected to give an account
01:43:56.360 --> 01:43:57.646
of what happened.
01:43:57.800 --> 01:43:59.086
Yes, of course.
01:43:59.240 --> 01:44:03.643
And having discussed this
with the ship owners and my father,
01:44:04.840 --> 01:44:08.526
it is clear that full disclosure
will have ramifications.
01:44:09.120 --> 01:44:11.487
Terrible ramifications
for the whole industry.
01:44:12.920 --> 01:44:15.161
That a whale brought down the Essex.
01:44:16.600 --> 01:44:17.806
But it's the truth.
01:44:25.960 --> 01:44:27.962
If the insurance houses and investors
01:44:28.120 --> 01:44:32.967
were to start worrying
about sea monsters sinking ships,
01:44:33.160 --> 01:44:35.367
sailors drawing lots to survive...
01:44:37.120 --> 01:44:38.690
We are in the oil business.
01:44:39.440 --> 01:44:40.646
All of us.
01:44:41.360 --> 01:44:42.486
And as in any business,
01:44:42.640 --> 01:44:46.201
the probability of success must
always be greater than the risk incurred.
01:44:48.760 --> 01:44:50.808
So, what are you suggesting, George?
01:44:51.160 --> 01:44:53.049
That you say the ship ran aground.
01:44:54.120 --> 01:44:55.201
That's a lie.
01:44:55.440 --> 01:44:58.569
- And that the men that died, drowned.
- And that's another lie.
01:44:58.840 --> 01:45:00.126
Think on it. They will make you captain.
01:45:00.280 --> 01:45:02.408
Well, that pledge I already have
in writing.
01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:06.042
Only on the condition
you bring home a ship full of oil.
01:45:08.000 --> 01:45:09.286
This way, it's guaranteed.
01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:11.449
You would be a wealthy man.
01:45:12.280 --> 01:45:14.965
The name Chase need
no longer be a landsman's name,
01:45:15.360 --> 01:45:16.407
but an established name
01:45:16.560 --> 01:45:19.291
that belongs among the great families
of Nantucket.
01:45:20.720 --> 01:45:22.961
You want me to whitewash
what happened for profit?
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:26.685
We are asking you to be pragmatic.
01:45:42.680 --> 01:45:44.762
The Essex was stove by a white whale.
01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:48.924
And those of us that survived
in ill-equipped whaleboats
01:45:49.080 --> 01:45:52.050
had to commit abominations
in order to survive.
01:45:53.360 --> 01:45:56.967
And, on our return,
we're expected to spread barefaced lies
01:45:58.120 --> 01:46:00.248
so that you,
the ship owners of Nantucket,
01:46:01.280 --> 01:46:04.204
might line your pockets
and sleep well at night?
01:46:05.440 --> 01:46:07.442
Well, I will not embroider the truth.
01:46:08.560 --> 01:46:10.449
Nor should you, George.
01:46:29.960 --> 01:46:32.327
That last time I saw him...
01:46:32.480 --> 01:46:33.720
Mr. Chase, sir!
01:46:34.480 --> 01:46:37.245
I couldn't find the right words
to say what I wanted to.
01:46:38.320 --> 01:46:39.321
Thomas.
01:46:40.720 --> 01:46:42.449
Perhaps there are no words.
01:46:42.760 --> 01:46:43.807
Um...
01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:48.487
I'm gonna be on my way to Falmouth and...
01:46:51.200 --> 01:46:52.406
It's...
01:46:53.400 --> 01:46:56.961
It's been an honor, sir,
to sail with you.
01:47:01.040 --> 01:47:03.042
The honor's been mine, Mr. Nickerson.
01:47:20.320 --> 01:47:21.367
Here.
01:47:27.040 --> 01:47:28.565
Good luck out there, Thomas.
01:47:30.280 --> 01:47:31.520
And you, sir.
01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:03.530
Next day, George Pollard was called
before the inquiry.
01:48:08.440 --> 01:48:10.080
Gentlemen, Captain George Pollard.
01:48:11.360 --> 01:48:13.760
And all the important men
in Nantucket were there.
01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:16.524
It was a formality.
01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:20.844
Good day to you, Captain.
Please sit down.
01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:27.125
For the record, then...
01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:32.080
The Essex was stove by a white whale
01:48:32.240 --> 01:48:34.607
1,200 leagues west of Ecuador.
01:48:35.120 --> 01:48:37.885
It was as if Owen Chase himself
had spoken.
01:48:39.920 --> 01:48:41.285
Told them the truth.
01:48:45.440 --> 01:48:47.568
Captain Pollard's conscience was clear.
01:48:49.160 --> 01:48:50.286
But the inquiry was a sham.
01:48:53.040 --> 01:48:54.201
Pollard went out again,
01:48:57.560 --> 01:48:59.164
looking for the white whale.
01:48:59.880 --> 01:49:01.120
He never found it.
01:49:02.880 --> 01:49:05.042
He ran a second ship aground off Hawaii.
01:49:06.560 --> 01:49:07.800
Twice cursed.
01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:10.687
Never sailed again.
01:49:11.240 --> 01:49:12.321
And Owen Chase?
01:49:14.280 --> 01:49:16.009
He was a man of his word.
01:49:16.840 --> 01:49:19.127
First, he sent a boat back
to Ducie Island.
01:49:20.640 --> 01:49:22.051
Mr. Joy had passed.
01:49:22.760 --> 01:49:25.969
But the other three were,
incredibly, still alive.
01:49:28.920 --> 01:49:30.206
And then?
01:49:31.120 --> 01:49:34.488
And then he packed up his family
and moved to New Bedford.
01:49:36.480 --> 01:49:38.005
Started over.
01:49:38.840 --> 01:49:40.251
Became a merchant captain,
01:49:41.160 --> 01:49:43.162
sailing on his own terms.
01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:55.729
Well, you certainly got your
money's worth, Mr. Melville.
01:49:56.280 --> 01:49:58.760
These February nights
are the longest of the year.
01:49:58.920 --> 01:50:00.843
Well, you can both rest now.
01:50:01.080 --> 01:50:02.411
Believe me,
01:50:02.560 --> 01:50:04.688
I shall not be resting for some time.
01:50:05.480 --> 01:50:06.686
Why?
01:50:07.680 --> 01:50:09.284
You got your story.
01:50:09.840 --> 01:50:12.366
You know, your plot. It's all there.
01:50:12.840 --> 01:50:16.162
Maybe it wasn't a plot I was after.
01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:18.530
No. What, then?
01:50:19.360 --> 01:50:22.842
- Something else you've given me tonight.
- And what's that?
01:50:23.920 --> 01:50:27.811
The courage to go where
one does not want to go.
01:50:29.960 --> 01:50:31.405
Mr. Melville,
01:50:32.120 --> 01:50:34.566
what you've heard, what I've told you,
01:50:37.720 --> 01:50:41.725
will it all be of service to your book?
01:50:43.400 --> 01:50:46.483
It will be a work of fiction,
Mr. Nickerson,
01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:49.450
inspired by truth.
01:50:51.160 --> 01:50:54.243
But I don't believe
I'll feel the need to use all of it.
01:51:03.400 --> 01:51:05.289
- Thank you.
- Here.
01:51:05.440 --> 01:51:08.762
- Take that with you.
- No. The money is for you. I insist.
01:51:09.920 --> 01:51:11.604
I insist you keep it.
01:51:11.760 --> 01:51:15.526
And I insist one person
in this conversation is sober.
01:51:26.440 --> 01:51:29.091
- So it's back to, uh...
- Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:31.490
Well, good luck.
01:51:33.280 --> 01:51:34.441
Thank you.
01:51:38.080 --> 01:51:39.286
You know,
01:51:40.160 --> 01:51:43.528
I heard a man from Pennsylvania
drilled a hole in the ground recently
01:51:44.600 --> 01:51:46.125
and found oil.
01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:47.966
That can't be true.
01:51:48.760 --> 01:51:49.921
I heard it, too.
01:51:52.520 --> 01:51:54.124
Oil from the ground.
01:51:56.560 --> 01:51:57.891
Fancy that.
01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:25.891
