[GIRL] "There was a time
when children dreaded the night,
for the sleeping hours
brought visions of horror."
"The dark times
when those terrible sea beasts
would ravage our shores,
and no ship was safe on the sea."
"But thanks to the hunters,
those days are over."
"Today, these valiant warriors
battle the beasts far beyond the horizon,
risking their lives to rid the seas
of those nightmare creatures."
"And the greatest of the hunting ships
is the Inevitable..."
"And the greatest of the hunters
is Captain Crow!"
- Yar!
- [CHILD] Captain Crow!
[LAUGHTER]
[BOY] I'm Captain Crow. Smelly old beast!
Hey. [BLOWS]
Who's reading this story?
[MATRON] Oh my word!
What's this?
Lights-out was an hour ago.
Oh, you'll be the death of me.
Come on. Along. Along you pop.
And, Miss Maisie,
the king and queen
care for you hunter orphans
out of their kindness.
When you disobey the house rules,
you disrespect them.
So we're not going to have
any more attempts now, are we?
Absolutely not.
Hmm.

[BELL RINGS]
All together now!
Heave away!
Hold your tongues!
- Where'd you see it?
- Dead ahead, Jacob.
[JACOB] Huh.
Are you sure?
Aye, a red tail. Biggest I ever saw.
Just under the surface.
Then today is the day.
[JACOB GRUNTS]
It's the Red Bluster.
I know it in me bones.
See there!
- Birds follow it.
- [BIRDS SQUAWKING]
- We come all this way for a proper fight.
- And we'll get it, me boy.
It's been 30 years
since that thing took me deadlight.
Now I'll have me revenge.
Aye.
[WOMAN 2] Well,
we've passed Rum Pepper Island.
It's heading for the Dregmorr Sea.
[EXCITING MUSIC PLAYS QUIETLY]
If we're gonna do battle
with the greatest
and most terrible thing in the sea,
it's best not to wait till after.
There might not be an after.
[WOMAN 1] Haul away, all!
Haul, you dogs!
[EXCITING MUSIC PLAYING]
Captain!
It's another hunting ship under attack!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
It's Jim Nicklebones' ship.
- It looks like he's found a brickleback.
- I'd say it found him.
We have to help him.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[WOMAN 1] What course, Captain?
- We press on.
- What?
[CAPTAIN CROW] If Jim Nicklebones were
half the sea dog he says he is,
he wouldn't be in this mess.
Captain, you know the code.
It binds us to all who come before
and all who come after.
And even that rum gagger Jim Nicklebones.
Ms. Merino, set a new course.
Aye, Captain.
Strike the spanker!
Clew up for an' main.
[CAPTAIN CROW SIGHS]
Thirty years I've waited.
[DISTANT ROARING]

Aye, Sarah.

[WOOD CREAKS]
Captain, the mizzen's in splinters,
and I don't like the main.
She can't fight.
Then we'll come back
for the Bluster when she can.
- Repairs shouldn't take too...
- Set a course for Three Bridges.
We're going home.
[MAN] Right mess, aren't ya?
Let's get you fixed up.
[MR. CRISP] If you know
what's good for ya,
you'll keep clear of the captain.
He was close enough
to smell that red devil.
But if he can't have the Bluster's hide,
he'll have ours, to be sure.
[COUGHING]
Why, it's gloomy
as the Helgard trenches in here.
[GRUNTS] We've taken
some right proper monsters on this hunt,
and the royals will pay us accordingly.
And then we'll come back,
and we'll take that red devil.
Can we beat it, Jacob?
They say the Bluster moves the very sea.
Aye, and it shoots fireballs
out of its eyes, they say.
It's enough to make your knees wobble.
But I ain't afraid,
'cause I'm on the Inevitable with you lot.
This ship has taken
more of them beasts than any other,
and she's got the scars to prove it.
As do we, Jacob! [LAUGHS]
Aye.
And every hunter's scar is a life saved.
A merchant sailor on their first voyage.
A mother.
A son.
All hunters die of the same thing.
Aye, being a hunter. [LAUGHS]
That's right. Being a hunter.
But every hunter dies a great death.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING]
Because every hunter lives a great life!
[SAILORS CHATTER AND LAUGH]
- [SARAH] Jacob!
- [MUSIC STOPS]
Captain would like a word.
Speaking of dying a great death.
Nice knowing you, Jacob!
[LAUGHTER]
We'll think of you often and fondly.
[LAUGHS]
You wanted to see me, Captain?
Sit.
Captain, we'll get the Bluster.
We know where it is now,
and you will have your revenge.
I'm... I'm just sorry it wasn't today.
Jacob, I hate that devil
with every fiber in me being,
but saving Jim Nicklebones
was the right thing to do.
You steered me right today.
Well, I'm... I-I'm glad you see it that way.
So we'll go home,
collect our bounty, and repair the ship.
And we'll come back for that beast
and bring hell down upon it.
[SIGHS]
And then what?
What is to become of the Inevitable
after I'm gone?
[SIGHS]
Through battle and wear,
every beam, block,
and spar has been replaced
since the day she was launched.
Yet she lives on.
It's an eternal thing.
But I am not.
[DOOR CREAKS]
Come.
Here is my greatness.
My father's before me,
and his father's before him.
On the day we take the Red Bluster,
I will make me last entry as captain.
Then it'll be your time.
I've known it since the day
I pulled you from the sea.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
You'd been out there for days.
But there was something in you, Jacob.
A fire that wouldn't die.
Then I held you,
and I knew.
The fates had brought me a son.
And that one day,
you would be captain of the Inevitable.
The day you found me,
I swore I would do everything in my power
to keep people safe from them demons.
If you would grant me this ship,
I would accept,
and it would be my honor.
[CHUCKLES]
My boy.
You're gonna do great things.
[JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING]
It's the Inevitable!
The Inevitable's back!
- Look!
- What a sight!
[BOY] Bet she's got a belly full of bones!
[MAN] The Inevitable!
[GRUNTS]
[JAUNTY MUSIC FADES]
[MAISIE GRUNTS]
[CROWD SHOUTING]
[SARAH] It's good to be home at last,
but it will be a short stay, I'm afraid.
Captain Crow will visit
the king and queen at first light.
And when the ship is ready,
we'll be off to kill a monster!
- [CROWD CHEERS]
- We're going after the Red Bluster!
So if this be our last visit
to Three Bridges,
I expect some right, proper debauchery!
[CROWD CHEERS]
[SARAH] Go on, then.
Make way for the hunters.
[GRUNTS]
[SARAH] Here we go, mates!
[JACOB LAUGHS]
The Crown will pay well for them horns.
- So the drinks are on us!
- [CROWD CHEERS]
No one goes thirsty tonight, swabbies!
[SAILOR] Come on, then!
[JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING]
[VILLAGERS]Captain Crow is our hero
He keeps the oceans clear
He stabs, and shoots
And kills, and guts
The monsters that we fear
He stabs, and shoots, and executes
With cannon, lance, and spear
Cuts off their horns
And no one mourns
The monsters that we fear
So sing the hunters' praises
Wherever men draw breath
For hunters live the greatest lives
And die the greatest deaths!
- [LAUGHTER]
- [CROWD APPLAUDING]
[SIGHS]
Hmm.
[LAUGHTER AND CHATTER]
Hello!
Hello.
Me name's Maisie.
Maisie Brumble.
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
And you're Jacob Holland,
who once killed four of them beasts
in a span of two days.
Is it true you done that?
Four in two days?
Don't believe everything you hear, lass.
Four in two days? [SCOFFS]
It was five.
I heard...
[TANKARDS CLATTER]
I heard there was a time them beasts
used to come right up to shore,
pluck a lady
right out of her veggie patch,
and swallow her up!
But not no more.
And it's 'cause of the hunters.
There's not a nobler profession, I says.
I come from a long line of hunters meself.
Is that so?
Aye. Me parents were lancers.
They served on the Monarch.
The Monarch.
- So they're...
- Aye.
That's just the way for a hunter,
ain't it?
You live a great life
and die a great death.
Huh. Come on.
So, uh, who's looking after you then?
I'm staying at a children's home
in Guelston, up the way.
Except I ain't staying exactly.
I'm on the run, you see.
And I ain't going back.
'Cause I'm joining your crew.
[SPLUTTERS]
[CHUCKLES] Oh, no, you ain't.
A hunting ship ain't no place for a kid.
You joined the ship when you were me age,
and look at you now.
You're a weapon
against nature's darkest design.
It says so on page 92.
Look, kid, I'm clever with a spear,
but I've been lucky more than once.
There's no guarantee
of making it to page 92.
Trust me.
Now, you should run along.
Right, then. I'll talk to Captain Crow.
That's a man with real authority. [GRUNTS]
Do you know
where I might find Captain Crow?
Hey! I... I have authority.
- All right?
- You ain't captain, are ya?
Uh, no, but I am captain material.
[LAUGHS] "Captain material?"
[CLEARS THROAT]
- Sorry. It just sounds funny.
- I mean, I will becaptain.
- Someday.
- Well, I intend to get on that ship.
So, if you don't mind,
I'll take it up with Captain Now,
not Captain Someday.
Hey! Put me down! Let me go!
Monster hunters are supposed to be heroes.
[JACOB] And here's me saving you.
Evening, Rosie. You go through Guelston?
Aye.
Right. Let her out there and not before.
- If that's not too much trouble.
- Aye.
Hey! [GRUNTS]
This is kidnapping!
[JACOB] No, love. It's the opposite
of kidnapping. [WHISTLES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JACOB SIGHS]
- New friend, Jacob?
Ah, just some kid.
Urgh. Horrible things, children.
[JACOB] You can say that again.
[CLANGING]
[GROANS]
[REGAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[MAN] Captain Crow!
[CHILD] It's full of brickleback!
[REGAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Well, if it isn't Captain Crow
and his loyal mates.
Your Grace, as you can see,
the oceans have offered abundant prey.
And I see you've taken
a full-grown brickleback.
A specimen like that
garners quite a bounty.
But there's something I don't see.
The horn of the Red Bluster.
Admiral Hornagold has reported a rumor...
[ALL] Admiral Hornagold?
...that you spotted the Red Bluster,
but abandoned your pursuit
because of a certain code.
The royals don't pay you
to honor such codes.
They pay you to kill monsters.
How many more ships will be lost
because you let the Bluster slip away?
[KING] This was once a small kingdom
with a big idea.
To send hunters out
to repel the beasts from our shores
and usher in a new era of peace.
It's been hundreds of years
since the dark times,
but as long as the Bluster lives,
people will still
look to the seas with fear.
So today marks the beginning of a new era.
The Crown will no longer
support the hunters.
She's quite a sight, isn't she?
The Imperator is the most
heavily-armed ship ever to set sail.
The Royal Navy will push
deep into the unknown world
and eradicate every sea beast in our path.
Not in that thing.
She rests too low.
And them fixed cannons is useless.
And her Captain is an ass.
[GASPS] It's time
for you to leave, Captain.
Your time is up.
Admiral, have you ever seen one of them
beasts that wasn't hanging from a ceiling?
Don't send your soldiers to die
in a ship like that.
It's not built for hunting,
and neither are you.
I assure you,
I am not afraid of those beasts.
Then you're a fool!
And you'll take
a lot of good sailors down with you!
General, see the hunters out.
We're done with them.
We hunters have shed blood,
while you lot hid behind walls
and drew lines on maps.
You're cowards, the lot of ya!
General, the Captain
is to be placed under arrest,
and the Inevitable decommissioned.
W-W-Wait, wait!
Uh, Your Grace. [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
The, uh... The Captain
is well-known for his temper,
but his talents as a hunter
have served you well.
He's opened the seas
and made your empire
the envy of the known world.
Now, I believe the world
still needs the hunters,
so prove me wrong.
Give us one more try for the Bluster.
If we take it, you keep your promise,
and we continue our alliance.
If the Imperator takes the Bluster,
well, you can tear down
the Inevitable for scrap,
and the days of the hunters will be over.
Either way,
you win.
I, for one, would relish the opportunity.
Then we have a contest.
Get set.
Go.
We'll take the Bluster
and bring it to your doorstep.
The days of hunters are not over.
Not nearly.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
When we reach the Dregmorr,
we'll follow the trenches.
We stay battle-ready, clear decks,
sharpened flints, and fresh cartridge.
The Bluster's hide will be plenty thick.
- Best to use the long spears.
- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[SARAH]Them archers won't do any good,
but we've got plenty of carcass shot.
[CAPTAIN CROW]We'll hit it with fire,
then go for a sleigh ride.
That's the way with something like this.
[JACOB]We're ready, Captain.
We'll take that red demon.
For we are hunters.
And we will bring all of our skill
and all of our rage down upon this beast.
And there will be justice!
[CHEERING]
But that will not be the end
of this great ship.
For no one has sailed
beyond the Dregmorr Sea.
No one knows what dangers lurk
in that terrible unknown.
But it will be this ship,
under Jacob Holland,
that will pierce the darkness.
[CHEERING]
So let's drink to a successful hunt,
with many more to come.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING]
- [MAISIE] Ow!
- [SAILOR 1] What was that?
- [SAILOR 2] It came from the keg.
- [SAILOR 3] What was that?
[JACOB INHALES AND GRUNTS]
[CHUCKLES]
You stowed away?
I stowed away.
[SIGHS] You stowed away.
Uh, I...
Yeah.
Well, we're dropping you off
at the nearest port.
We're going after the Bluster.
- We can't have a kid mucking about.
- [CAPTAIN CROW] What's this?
The name's Maisie Brumble,
but you need no introduction.
You've been swallowed whole,
shot through the heart, and cut to pieces.
But the worms won't eat you,
and hell won't take you, so here you are!
The right, proud commander
of the second-greatest hunting ship
what ever sailed.
Second-greatest?
Which then, may I ask, is the greatest?
I'm partial to the Monarch,
for it's the ship me parents served on.
I see.
Then they died heroes, didn't they?
Aye.
I like this kid.
- She's all vinegar.
- But, C-Captain...
Sarah, be good enough to take her in,
would you?
Aye, Captain.
Congratulations, Captain Someday.
Uh...

They say no first mate

[SARAH] That's enough.
I've heard your speeches, Miss.
My speeches kept me on this boat.
You're on this boat because Captain Crow
won't stop to put you off it.
The hunt is all.
So give him your absolute obedience.
Or fall on that yourself,
because I'll visit worse than death on ya.
You're
amazing.
[SIGHS]
[SEA SHANTY PLAYING]
[SEA SHANTY FADES]
We passed Rum Pepper Island in the night.
We've reached the Dregmorr.
Aye, and we'll find
that thing soon enough.
[METAL SCRAPING]
I wonder if I might need
something a little... larger?
Hey, where'd you get that knife?
Sarah gave it to me,
'cause I'm a hunter now.
- A hunter who needs to go to bed.
- But I'm too much awake to sleep.
I'm on the Inevitable with Captain Crow.
Them pictures in me books come to life,
and exacting bloody revenge!
Go, get your rest.
Aye, Captain. [CHUCKLES]
We's gonna kill that thing, ain't we?
And they'll make statues of us.
We'll kill it, all right. Now get!
[CHUCKLES] Hmm.
[GIGGLES]
The monsters, I can handle.
But that one, she'll be the death of me.
You'll recall the hunter's code
binds us to all who come before
and all who come after.
[CHUCKLES]
I see a fire in her.
Same fire I saw in you.

I mean, the sea is their home.
We went after her,didn't we?
What if we just left 'em alone?
We kill them because they kill us.
Do I need to remind you

Should they have just left
the monsters alone?
I... don't know.
Oh, you are lost, girl.
Your parents died heroes.
I want to believe that,

I think it's a she, and I think
she was protecting us from Crow.
You're giving that beast
way too much credit.
-He was pointing a gun at you, and he
-He was pointing it at you, through me.
Because you cut them lines.
I don't wanna argue about it, all right?
'Cause I don't want to attract
any of the multitude of monsters
on this island,
that, that I wouldn't be on
if you hadn't cut them lines!
So we're not arguing?
So what are we doing?
I'm going to gather supplies.
I'll take you to Guelston,

we'll finish what we started.
Don't... get killed out there.
[JACOB] I won't make any promises.

Captain, her wares come
at too steep a price.
To make covenant with the likes of her
is against the hunter's code.
Blast whatever code
would bar me my revenge!
There be no charter over me own.
I'll use Batterbie's methods.

the beasts destroy towns that don't exist,

[CAPTAIN CROW] I see.
That's quite a story, Jacob.
The hunter what befriended a beast. Hmm.
The beast what took me deadlight.
What am I to make of ye, Jacob?
That thing and I,
we, uh, had, uh,
an understanding.
A truce. Hmm?
But there cannot be a truce without war.
Whatever happened out there is nothing
against hundreds of years of war.
I've always known what I was, Jacob.
I'm the son of a captain,
who was the son of a captain.
And if we are born to fight,
then by God, let's fight.
That we may be tested
and find our greatness.
So I ask you, Jacob, my son,
are you my enemy?

I'll get you back to Guelston.
You'll be safe.
You'll have a good, long life.
But first,we'll pay a visit

We have a date with the king and queen.

Well, it looks like we have our winner.
When I last visited Whiterock,
you told me

But the Imperator
was no match for the beast.
All of your wealth and power,
all of this is nothing
compared to a hunter's fury.

Aye, they were heroes.

- [KING] What?
For generations,
they've taught us to hate the beasts
and sent the hunters out to destroy them.
And the beasts learned
to fear us and hate us,
and they fought back!
Who are you to malign
your king and queen with such falsehoods?
You have no right to speak!
I have every right!
I come from a long line of hunters
that died your great death!
Your kingdom was paid for
with their blood,
and their blood!
Enough! General, give the command.
This war was started
by the kings and queens what come before.
And with every lie, their empire grew.

Why, it's gloomy

[GRUNTS] We've taken

And then we'll come back,

Can we beat it, Jacob?
They say the Bluster moves the very sea.
Aye, and it shoots fireballs
out of its eyes, they say.
It's enough to make your knees wobble.
But I ain't afraid,
'cause I'm on the Inevitable with you lot.
This ship has taken
more of them beasts than any other,
and she's got the scars to prove it.
As do we, Jacob! [LAUGHS]
Aye.
And every hunter's scar is a life saved.
A merchant sailor on their first voyage.
A mother.
A son.
All hunters die of the same thing.
Aye, being a hunter. [LAUGHS]
That's right. Being a hunter.
But every hunter dies a great death.

Captain, we'll get the Bluster.
We know where it is now,

I'm... I'm just sorry it wasn't today.
Jacob, I hate that devil
with every fiber in me being,
but saving Jim Nicklebones
was the right thing to do.
You steered me right today.
Well, I'm... I-I'm glad you see it that way.
So we'll go home,
collect our bounty, and repair the ship.
And we'll come back for that beast
and bring hell down upon it.

And then what?
What is to become of the Inevitable
after I'm gone?

Here is my greatness.
My father's before me,

I've known it since the day
I pulled you from the sea.

You'd been out there for days.
But there was something in you, Jacob.
A fire that wouldn't die.
Then I held you,

The fates had brought me a son.
And that one day,
you would be captain of the Inevitable.
The day you found me,
I swore I would do everything in my power
to keep people safe from them demons.
If you would grant me this ship,
I would accept,
and it would be my honor.

Is it true you done that?
Four in two days?
Don't believe everything you hear, lass.
Four in two days? [SCOFFS]
It was five.
I heard...
[TANKARDS CLATTER]
I heard there was a time them beasts
used to come right up to shore,
pluck a lady
right out of her veggie patch,
and swallow her up!
But not no more.
And it's 'cause of the hunters.
There's not a nobler profession, I says.
I come from a long line of hunters meself.
Is that so?
Aye. Me parents were lancers.
They served on the Monarch.
The Monarch.
- So they're...
- Aye.
That's just the way for a hunter,

You live a great life
and die a great death.
Huh. Come on.
So, uh, who's looking after you then?
I'm staying at a children's home

Except I ain't staying exactly.
I'm on the run, you see.
And I ain't going back.
'Cause I'm joining your crew.

A hunting ship ain't no place for a kid.
You joined the ship when you were me age,
and look at you now.
You're a weapon
against nature's darkest design.
It says so on page 92.
Look, kid, I'm clever with a spear,
but I've been lucky more than once.
There's no guarantee
of making it to page 92.
Trust me.
Now, you should run along.
Right, then. I'll talk to Captain Crow.
That's a man with real authority. [GRUNTS]

Hey! I... I have authority.
- All right?

- Someday.
- Well, I intend to get on that ship.
So, if you don't mind,
I'll take it up with Captain Now,
not Captain Someday.
Hey! Put me down! Let me go!
Monster hunters are supposed to be heroes.
[JACOB] And here's me saving you.
Evening, Rosie. You go through Guelston?
Aye.
Right. Let her out there and not before.
- If that's not too much trouble.
- Aye.
Hey! [GRUNTS]
This is kidnapping!
[JACOB] No, love. It's the opposite
of kidnapping. [WHISTLES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[REGAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[MAN] Captain Crow!
[CHILD] It's full of brickleback!
[REGAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Well, if it isn't Captain Crow
and his loyal mates.
Your Grace, as you can see,
the oceans have offered abundant prey.
And I see you've taken
a full-grown brickleback.
A specimen like that
garners quite a bounty.
But there's something I don't see.
The horn of the Red Bluster.
Admiral Hornagold has reported a rumor...
[ALL] Admiral Hornagold?
...that you spotted the Red Bluster,
but abandoned your pursuit
because of a certain code.
The royals don't pay you
to honor such codes.
They pay you to kill monsters.
How many more ships will be lost
because you let the Bluster slip away?
[KING] This was once a small kingdom
with a big idea.
To send hunters out
to repel the beasts from our shores
and usher in a new era of peace.
It's been hundreds of years
since the dark times,
but as long as the Bluster lives,
people will still
look to the seas with fear.
So today marks the beginning of a new era.
The Crown will no longer
support the hunters.
She's quite a sight, isn't she?
The Imperator is the most
heavily-armed ship ever to set sail.
The Royal Navy will push
deep into the unknown world
and eradicate every sea beast in our path.
Not in that thing.
She rests too low.
And them fixed cannons is useless.
And her Captain is an ass.
[GASPS] It's time
for you to leave, Captain.
Your time is up.
Admiral, have you ever seen one of them
beasts that wasn't hanging from a ceiling?
Don't send your soldiers to die
in a ship like that.
It's not built for hunting,
and neither are you.
I assure you,
I am not afraid of those beasts.
Then you're a fool!
And you'll take
a lot of good sailors down with you!
General, see the hunters out.
We're done with them.
We hunters have shed blood,
while you lot hid behind walls
and drew lines on maps.
You're cowards, the lot of ya!
General, the Captain
is to be placed under arrest,
and the Inevitable decommissioned.
W-W-Wait, wait!
Uh, Your Grace. [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
The, uh... The Captain
is well-known for his temper,
but his talents as a hunter
have served you well.
He's opened the seas
and made your empire
the envy of the known world.
Now, I believe the world
still needs the hunters,
so prove me wrong.
Give us one more try for the Bluster.
If we take it, you keep your promise,
and we continue our alliance.
If the Imperator takes the Bluster,
well, you can tear down
the Inevitable for scrap,
and the days of the hunters will be over.
Either way,
you win.
I, for one, would relish the opportunity.
Then we have a contest.
Get set.
Go.
We'll take the Bluster
and bring it to your doorstep.
The days of hunters are not over.
Not nearly.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
When we reach the Dregmorr,
we'll follow the trenches.
We stay battle-ready, clear decks,
sharpened flints, and fresh cartridge.
The Bluster's hide will be plenty thick.
- Best to use the long spears.
- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[SARAH]Them archers won't do any good,
but we've got plenty of carcass shot.
[CAPTAIN CROW]We'll hit it with fire,
then go for a sleigh ride.
That's the way with something like this.
[JACOB]We're ready, Captain.
We'll take that red demon.
For we are hunters.
And we will bring all of our skill
and all of our rage down upon this beast.
And there will be justice!
[CHEERING]
But that will not be the end
of this great ship.
For no one has sailed
beyond the Dregmorr Sea.
No one knows what dangers lurk
in that terrible unknown.
But it will be this ship,
under Jacob Holland,
that will pierce the darkness.
[CHEERING]
So let's drink to a successful hunt,
with many more to come.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING]
- [MAISIE] Ow!

You stowed away?
I stowed away.
[SIGHS] You stowed away.
Uh, I...
Yeah.
Well, we're dropping you off
at the nearest port.
We're going after the Bluster.
- We can't have a kid mucking about.
- [CAPTAIN CROW] What's this?
The name's Maisie Brumble,
but you need no introduction.
You've been swallowed whole,
shot through the heart, and cut to pieces.
But the worms won't eat you,
and hell won't take you, so here you are!
The right, proud commander
of the second-greatest hunting ship
what ever sailed.
Second-greatest?
Which then, may I ask, is the greatest?
I'm partial to the Monarch,
for it's the ship me parents served on.
I see.
Then they died heroes, didn't they?
Aye.
I like this kid.
- She's all vinegar.
- But, C-Captain...
Sarah, be good enough to take her in,
would you?
Aye, Captain.
Congratulations, Captain Someday.

My speeches kept me on this boat.
You're on this boat because Captain Crow

The hunt is all.
So give him your absolute obedience.
Or fall on that yourself,

Hey, where'd you get that knife?
Sarah gave it to me,

- But I'm too much awake to sleep.
I'm on the Inevitable with Captain Crow.
Them pictures in me books come to life,
and exacting bloody revenge!
Go, get your rest.
Aye, Captain. [CHUCKLES]
We's gonna kill that thing, ain't we?
And they'll make statues of us.
We'll kill it, all right. Now get!
[CHUCKLES] Hmm.

But that one, she'll be the death of me.

I mean, the sea is their home.
We went after her,didn't we?
What if we just left 'em alone?
We kill them because they kill us.
Do I need to remind you
that one of them things took your parents?
Should they have just left
the monsters alone?
I... don't know.
Oh, you are lost, girl.
Your parents died heroes.
I want to believe that,

and still be wrong.

- Why did Red swallow us?
Oh, "Red," is it?
She, not it.
I think it's a she, and I think
she was protecting us from Crow.
You're giving that beast
way too much credit.
-He was pointing a gun at you, and he
-He was pointing it at you, through me.
Because you cut them lines.
I don't wanna argue about it, all right?
'Cause I don't want to attract
any of the multitude of monsters
on this island,
that, that I wouldn't be on
if you hadn't cut them lines!
So we're not arguing?
So what are we doing?
I'm going to gather supplies.
I'll take you to Guelston,

we'll finish what we started.
Don't... get killed out there.

Captain, her wares come
at too steep a price.
To make covenant with the likes of her
is against the hunter's code.
Blast whatever code
would bar me my revenge!
There be no charter over me own.
I'll use Batterbie's methods.

[GWEN] I know why you're here, Captain.
It's always the same reason, you see.
And I can give you what you need.
A poison powerful enough
to take down the greatest of beasts,
and a weapon strong enough
to deliver it deep.
You know what they say about me, Captain?
Them what come see Gwen Batterbie

Yet, here you are.
I don't believe in them superstitions.
No, I don't suppose you do.

It says here that during the dark times,
the beast destroyed a town
on the coast of Kra' Zoul.
But we been up and down that coast,
and I ain't never seen no town,
destroyed or otherwise.
A-And... And we don't say "yar"
half this much.
E-Every other page, we're shouting "yar."
I mean, this is just nonsense.
Says you.
But the book says otherwise,
and it's going to outlast both of us.
So people will believe
the beasts destroy towns that don't exist,
and hunters like to say "yar."
But if that ain't true,
then how are you supposed to know what is?
[MAISIE] And how do we knowthe sea beasts
ever plucked ladies
out of their veggie patches?
That there really were the dark times?
Maybe they didn't start this war.

This is as far as Red goes.
Won't be safe for her beyond the Dregmorr,

Guelston is a place.
It ain't a family.
I ain't going back there,

And all I have is you.
And that don't sound so bad.
So, what do you say?
Should we give it a go?
You mean, uh...
You mean, like a family?
Sure.
I-I don't know.
Maybe if we pretend long enough,
it could feel real?
Never mind. It's stupid.
What, are you picturing us on a farm

I said "never mind," ya donkey.

A truce. Hmm?
But there cannot be a truce without war.
Whatever happened out there is nothing
against hundreds of years of war.
I've always known what I was, Jacob.
I'm the son of a captain,
who was the son of a captain.
And if we are born to fight,
then by God, let's fight.
That we may be tested

For generations,
they've taught us to hate the beasts

And the beasts learned
to fear us and hate us,
and they fought back!
Who are you to malign
your king and queen with such falsehoods?
You have no right to speak!
I have every right!
I come from a long line of hunters
that died your great death!
Your kingdom was paid for
with their blood,
and their blood!
Enough! General, give the command.

And with every lie, their empire grew.
