Crusoe s01e12 Episode Script

Crusoe! What are you doing? Maintenance.
Why? What´s wrong? Nothing.
I´m just replacing parts before they wear out.
Ah, that is a very good idea! It´s a very long way to fall from up there.
Yes, it is.
What do you like to eat today? I dont know Surprise me! But, Friday No parrot.
That´s just wrong.
What´s wrong with parrot? They very beautiful! Yes, it´s very beautiful to look at, but not to eat.
So you rather I shoot a pigeon then? Yes well several! But pigeons are also very beautiful! if you like grey Yes, I think its a very nice colour.
Ok, then.
Pigeon it is or a grey parrot Grey parrot? What happened? Gravity.
It´s new.
Oh no, no Crusoe.
I mean that That my friend that was a ships rocket.
From where? Shipwreck beach.
Is it a spaniard? I dont think so.
He swore they bring you a rescue ship.
That is an english flag! Oh, they seen the reefs.
They turning away.
Crusoe Look! This man drowned! and this one was smashed against the rocks Friday, look! I´m afraid we are to late again.
It looks like you have healing hands.
Good Lord! What? This cant be What? It´s Mr.
Blackthorn! It´s Jeremiah Blackthorn! Crusoe - Säsong 1 - Episod 12 "The Traveller" .
Translation: English How is he? He raved a lot I think his fever broken.
He´s asleep.
Does he know you? I dont think so.
He kept talking about Susannah.
He must have news of her.
He kept saying her name.
Robinson! Mister Blackthorn.
Your on my island, sir.
We pulled you from the water.
Your landing boat ran a foul on a dangerous shaul, but your boat entered about just in time.
- Where is my ship? - She´s gone, sir.
And after what they saw they must have asumed that you drowned.
Here.
I´m sorry, sir, but My wife, Susannah, how is she? As well as ever.
So we took with a pilot in Barbados.
We set her near the islands.
But two days into the journey, he took to his bank and that was the last use we had of him.
So, how did you find me? By the map, that I got from your spaniard.
Surprisingly accurate for a piece of shrunken old leather.
Old leather? You know the map? Crusoe knew the owner.
Now, I could read it well enough, but Obviously not well enought to find a safe harbour.
If they think there´s any chance that you are alive.
They certainly search much harder for you than they ever did for me.
Belive me, Robinson There has never been a search, like the one that´s been for you.
Everyone failed.
And finally I decided to take it upon myself.
And I thank you for that, sir.
No,no,no.
No need to thank me.
No need for that.
You had a touch of scurvy.
Comes with a long sea voyage.
Nobody seems to know what causes it, but fruit seems to be the cure.
Well, Its the reason the search was called for a early landning and look what that got us.
King James is gone.
Abandoned his throne and fleed the country.
And what of judge Jeffries? Capturs turned to follow him.
Failor.
Died in the tower.
So I have no enemies left in England.
Thank God, my father lived to see this day! Robinson He was a good man I promised him I promised him he would see me again And he will, but not in this world.
Courage, Robinson.
Courage.
It´s just one less rock for Susannah to lean on thats all.
She´s a very independent woman, you know your wife? I offered her my house, as a permanent home but she choosed other lodgings.
I aspect you would like to feed some of the lunatics.
we got some good ones out today.
Try throwing this.
Have you never seen a lunatic eat a lemon? It´s well worth the money I´m not here for a show.
Im here for Susannah Crusoe.
Oh, not much to look at I´m afraid we have to keep her like this.
Take of her restraints.
No.
This is my father.
Perhaps you would like to tell him how you refused me.
Are you here to help me? Or to do me further harm? Because I´ve been a trusting soul and you can see how I paid for it.
Trust me or dont is your choice but I knew your husband.
Where is he? Have you stayed faithful, Susannah? I have.
Then you still have your Sarge, wherever he is.
So what is that you making now? It´s like a sedan chair.
To get you to the tree house.
What´s the point of a sedan chair,when you only have one servant to carry it? There are no servants and masters here.
I carry one end and Friday the other.
Really? You think Friday is a savage? Well, what do you call him? This, truly is a new world Mr.
Blackthorne I have so much to show you So, how far is this tree house? Half a day´s walk.
Or an hour if you run and swing on the rigging.
Well, i dont really think I do want to run, but I think I´m strong enough to walk, so and you can educate me further as we go along.
Please, tell me again.
Your children are well Susannah as well.
She never gave up facing your return.
And the situation is safe? As secure as I could make it.
Forgive me for asking you to repeat it It´s just that I´ve longed to hear those words.
Oh, without civilized company, I´m sure I would feel the same.
I went years without a companion.
Then, one morning, I saw a single human footprints in the sand.
Was it his? I have no idea, who´s it was.
But it gave you a reason to hope.
Actually, it frightened the wits out of me.
I wouldn´t dare surrender myself to the spanish guard of Costa.
or light risk the French.
But then again, the first english flagger we saw was flown by a pack of thieves.
- We were lucky to escape with our lives.
- Robinson.
Robinson.
I am not as recovered as I thought.
Wish you made it.
We´re there.
Magnificent, Robinson! And to think you built this all by yourself? I´m astonished.
When it starts moving up, dont look down.
Now when you get to the top, Take this lever and move it back down.
- And it is safe? - Trust me! It´s alright.
Keep going.
You´re almost there.
I know it´s not quite as grand as you used to, but it will keep out the rain.
Know what you done here, Robinson? You have civilized the wilderness.
Hardly, I merely adapted to it.
I took what i could scavage from the wreck and turned it to my purpose.
- So those sails - They´re from the ship.
I can raise and lower them to keep out the sun and the rain.
and these old timbers around the edge here they are attached to pulleys and cataways.
I can hoist them into place, in the blink of an eye, it will stop anything short than a cannonpull.
.
- And you´re running water! - Yes.
Dodge from a windpump on the roof.
Well These are Marvels of a kind, Robinson Marvels! Oh, that´s Dundee.
Shipsdog.
Hey! Another thing I scavaged from the wreck.
Where´s the wreck now? It´s long gone.
I took what I could, but the stones broke it up.
But still, you seem to lack for nothing here.
If only that were true.
It looks like natures marksman struck again.
You´ll notice, these are not parrots.
Well, no, but they´ll make a fine meal.
So you met my benefactor.
Crusoe, he´s not the same man you told me about.
What do you mean? He shows one face to you and to me another.
But he´s barely spoken to you.
Exactly.
It´s ridiculous.
Friday, that man has sailed halfway around the world.
He´s risked his life and his fortune to save me.
Ask yourself why, Crusoe.
- He´s not your father! - No not in blood, but in spirit he is.
Why dont you try and get to know him? Why dont you let him try to get and know you? So, Robinson Mister Blackthorn.
I came here to find you, and I´m delighted I did Now I find myself stranded with you.
I was´nt expecting that.
At least I can bare my own exile a while longer knowing how Susannah has been safe in your care.
This was posted in the London Gazette.
"Robinson, born Kreutznauer.
beware of false friends.
" "Your children are in danger.
" Imagine the torment that´s caused me.
False friends? There´s Adam, there´s Percy I´d never doubt one of them.
No, and the false friend, is the one that placed this mischievious piece of nonsense.
A priest came.
I dont know what they talked about, but then father placed this note in the London Gazette.
- London Gazette? - It´s where Robin would let the news.
"Robinson, born Kreutznauer.
Beware of false friends.
Your children are in danger.
" It´s in every issue - Why did´nt you tell me about this? - We tried to Your brother said you turned your back on us.
Where are the children if you signed them over? I´ll steal them from his house.
What´s that? My note of your adress.
I dont need it any more.
I remember that home you rigged up in the warehouse in the swanstreet Put the bed brougt up to the cealing and the chair you made from a barrel.
- Susannah thought I was mad.
- You have´nt changed.
She managed to keep up the rent? No, well I adviced here to give the place up.
Now you advice me.
What happens to us next? Well I had a difficult time, learning a simple lesson.
Learn patience and trust in Provinence.
We fed for ourself until a rescue ship comes.
And I know that it will.
I know I should be worried about my affairs at home at the moment I just I´m just grateful for my life.
That is how it should be.
Ah Friday.
Mister Blackthorn.
Crusoe says I should get to know you, since we´ll be sharing this island together for some time.
Is this not how you people introduce yourselfs? Well, yes it is, but You have to forgive if I approach this in small stages.
I´m a forgiving man Mr.
Blackthorn But after a point Anyone care to do some fishing? Ah, so you have a rod and line? I will teach him how we use a spear.
There you are.
Wait for the cannon Your crew did´nt abandon you.
They sailed around the island to find a safe habour.
I say We give Crusoe three days to make his way to us, if he´s alive.
and I say, if he does´nt turn up we go ashore, and hunt him down.
- All the traps you made.
- We dont need them anymore.
Crusoe, this is madness.
It takes at least two days to cross this island.
Someone needs to run ahead and signal to the ship.
This is a nervous crew, in strange waters.
They take one look at you and they´ll brake out their musketes.
Ok, fine, then you´ll go and I´ll bring them Mr Blackthorn.
No.
You have disussed it with him? He promised not to slow us down, and he´s a lot stronger now.
That man shuns (avoids) my company.
He´s afraid of you.
He´s not afraid of anything, Crusoe, he´s lying to you.
The only black man he´s ever known has been servants and slaves.
that´s it.
Well, that is his problem.
Do not make him to mine.
Did you find anything? No, I´ll just wear the rags I´m standing in.
Is this this a bullet hole? Arrow hole.
Spores of war.
Your man does´nt trust me, you know? He just does´nt know you like I do.
Well, he ought to get to know me better.
Now, I insist on carrying my share of the load.
well there wont be much.
We travel light.
Never the less, I am no invalid.
And I´ll be no mans passenger.
What should I carry? You can take my bag, on the bench.
Friday, it´s time to say goodbye to this place.
Going after the cannon shot,it sounds as if they found their way to Marie Port.
As de facto, Govenor of this island, I´ve taken it upon myself to name all of it´s features.
Marie Port for my sister and because it´s a fair haven.
And she welcomes all sailors.
What? How is your stamina, Mr.
Blackthorn? I must have breath away the dust of a thousand books.
I hope you have a head for heights.
Why? Because we cant cross the river.
It´s infested.
- Infested? - Flesh eating fish.
What stories you´ll have for your children, Robinson.
Quite frankly, sir.
Some of them stories I quite like to forget.
Dont worry, I´ll rig you a safety line.
- Mr.
Blackthorn! - No Crusoe! I am closer! Then go! I´ll strain the rope! Hurry! You´ll always show up at the most inappropiate times, dont you? Listen boy, I cant take you to London with me.
Not after the life you come to know here.
You´ve been a good friend, But I cant be that selfish Goodbye boy.
Mr.
Blackthorn.
I know Crusoe, we have to go.
And as the second son, I inherited nothing.
Now, there was a young woman that I hoped to marry, but i had no prospects Nothing to offer So that´s when I travelled the world in search of some scheme or another, all I could think of was finding a way to secure my future.
Anyway, I finally found a venture that would pay me money But, that was when the news came from England that my brother was dead.
And that´s how you came to inherit.
He had no wife, no children, so the fortune passed to me.
I had to return to manage it.
A terrible great beast, is a fortune.
You think it would be a wonderful thing would´nt you? But no, no, no.
Instead, it´s inprison you, captive the rest of your life.
And as my ship entered the port of London I could feel my responsibilites fall on me like like a heavy cloak.
And after that My days were no longer my own.
What about the young woman? I found her married, to a young man, without a penny to his name.
But were they happy? No, I made sure of that.
No I, jestered (kidding) - Crusoe, you said not to bring the charts.
- Just the bible.
- Where is the other bag? - If it´s a bibel you want, there´ll be one on the ship.
It´s just not a bible.
- I´ll go get it.
- No, Friday.
It´s to late, I cant belive it.
What, what did I do? There is nothing else for us.
We have to go around the swamp.
That is at least half a day.
- I should never have brought us this way.
- Who built all this? No one knows.
Friday, this is a lot wider than I remember.
- How did you get across last time? - We jumped.
- Jumped? - Took a run Could´nt we just wade across? I think it´s vulcanic.
The water is acidic.
Well, you´ll might as well say it, Robinson - Say what? - We have to take the long way because you sadel with me.
No one is a burden here.
We´re in this together.
No, no, wait! Wait! Throw the kit.
Ready? - Ready.
- You´re sure? Yes.
Robinson this bible of yours Tell me the story - Well, In the beginning God created - No, no, no, you know what I mean.
It is his fathers.
I managed to salvage it from the wreck before another storm broke it up.
I have told him he´ll se his family soon.
So he no longer have to keep the logs here to remember them by.
Now I understand.
It´s Not really mementos, it´s more my familys history, the story of the Crusoe's.
My father wrote it all in.
Well, I´m sorry, I feel responsible.
No, no It´s alright, you had no way of knowing.
and Fridays right.
It´s nothing that I cant replace, except the documents - Documents? - Birth notices and death certificates, that sort of thing.
Many of those? I dont know really, I never counted Anyway, it´s just a piece of paper.
That´s all we´re talking about.
This is where the priest said he meet us.
Thank you for coming with me.
You´re the only friend I have.
You said you knew Robin, - But you did´nt say how - Who´s there? Father Galland? Father Galland! I´m Susannah Crusoe.
Now, can you explain this to me? What is it? The parish records of the baptism of my husband, Robinson Crusoe.
But all it says is: "Robinson, son of a stranger".
Is this not your hand? James Crusoe was a poor man, and Alice Crusoe was a virtuous woman, Only a virtuous woman, could do what she did, and not carry a stand.
What did she do? She bore a son and heir for a rich man.
For money? In return for James start in the merchant trade.
But the rich man died before the child was born.
so they raised him as their own "Robinson, son of a stranger".
That´s what I wrote in the book.
but there is a certificate, with the true fathers name.
Where? Only Alice knew.
It was Blackthorn, was´nt it? But he had a brother, yes? The brother from who he inherited everything.
if this certificate, ever appears, You know what it would prove.
Jeremiah Blackthorn has no right to his fortune.
The Crusoe's are the true heiress.
Remember how I told you I name places on the Island after things that mattered most to me.
Marie Port, Susannahs Bay.
Fat Crab Beach.
I named this place four years ago.
And since this is the only chance I get to show it to you These are the Blackthorn falls.
I´d always remember what you told me.
Beauty fades, friends betrays, memories disappear.
But you had hopes for a great prosperities.
These falls, has been here since the dawn of time, and they´ll bear youre name until the end of it.
Pilot! Pilot, open this door! you signed on to do a job of work, and by God I´ll see you do it! What is the excuse for this? His sick he says.
I told you not to pay him a penny up front! He spent it on rom and stashed it a board.
Well, he has one more day to drink himself sober and steer us home.
Or we are taking our chances by the sun, and he can swim for it! What´s all that racket? Still no pilot.
Still no Crusoe? Yes, Yes.
He´s right there dancing on the beach He´s been doing it all day.
I just choose not to mention it.
I would´nt worry to much.
I mean, how long has this man been a castaway for? He´s not gonna be in any fit state to give us any trouble, is he? The spaniards suggested otherwise Well spaniards! They exaggerate.
It´s in there temprament.
Trust me, Crusoe is either dead, or he´s half starved and riddled with disease.
On the other hand He´s living on lean meat and fruit in a land of tropical sunshine.
So, if he is coming our way, I´d like some advance warning.
Someones alive out there.
Let´s go down to the beach, prepare a welcome.
Once more? Why not? Well, if they did´nt hear that, they are either dead or deaf.
Or departed.
You think? I think not.
This way right, it has to be? I belive it is.
Did you see his face when I showed him the falls? I did.
What´s wrong? I can tell when a man is feeling guilty.
Guilty? Why would he feel guilty? I do not know, Crusoe.
But every good thing that came down for him, makes him feel a little worse.
Why is that? Friday is right.
If God could grant me one wish, it would be to deserve the opinion you have of me.
Robinson I am not the man you imagine.
No man could be.
and I´m sorry.
Well, we can discuss this later, on the voyage home.
Now, if there´s a shore party, waiting for us on the beach I might ask you to wait and stand back.
Would you do that for me? Yes, of course.
But But why? They did´nt know you, I need to talk to them first.
Otherwise, there could be a misunderstanding, with Friday.
They might make the same mistake I did and see him as a savage.
And the last thing I want is for someone to get shot by accident.
Wait here.
I´ll signal you to come forward.
I can promise you this will be your last day on the island.
Wait for my signal.
You´re not happy? I have my reasons.
I want you to come to England.
Mr.
Blackthorne is my friend and he says personally that he´s gonna take us there.
So, if you have a problem, you should probably tell me now.
Even though there is a problem No problem.
Well gentlemen, come along.
Well Look at you.
Had you written of as drowned for sure.
Is that Crusoe? Kill the savage first.
