Elcano & Magellan: The First Voyage Around the World

Captain! The Cape of Storms!

All hands, ahoy!

We'll do our best to keep this distance.

Blimey! It's even bigger than a mountain.

We have to circle around!

Hang on to what you can!

This is gonna be a bumpy ride!

Per favore, not so fast...

the rocking's making me queasy.

What the Italian's saying

is he doesn't like his mother's cooking.

He didn't say that.

There's no need to worry, it's just a slight breeze.

Be careful!

A little water never hurt anyone.

Full speed ahead!

Santa Madonna, Mr Elcano...

lower the sails.

I won't make it out alive.

I won't stand for this!

My name is Antonio Pigafetta, the king's own notary!

Loosen up, Sir Notary.

We'll make it to the port on time just like I promised.

Woah, we've got a loose end!

- Bah! - Grab the ship's wheel.

Santa Madonna...

We're going to sink!

Nothing to worry about.

Not in a million years would I allow you to become fish food.

I give you my word as captain.

Captain?

Are you being serious, boy?

Elcano, you are no captain, you're an unthoughtful brute.

Captain Unthoughtful!

Captain Unthoughtful! Sure is a mouthful.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

The Guadalquivir, told you so.

You'll get to Sevilla on time.

This is the last barrel.

Come on, lad, we gotta get them onto the boat!

I'll take any charity, madam.

Today's deal!

I'll read two fortunes for the price of one.

Oh wow, where could everyone be going in this blazing heat?

I've never seen Sevilla this lively.

Hey, sir, with this tiny rosemary leaf

I can predict your joy and grief.

Sorry, lassie, I'm running on empty myself.

I'm sailing out tomorrow.

Make way for the admiral!

Huh?

Oh, who could he be?

The guy with the limp is Ferdinand Magellan.

The navigator.

The Portuguese?

Oh! Magellan is recruiting men for his voyage.

I hope he takes my husband with him.

Mister Magellan, for one doubloon

with this rosemary leaf, I can read your fortune.

- Hm. - You wretched girl!

Stop bothering the admiral!

Hey!

Oh, my goodness.

They say he's a handsome fellow and a daredevil.

He's a vicious lad, and if he's limping so

it's because the Arabs destroyed his leg.

The poor admiral!

Sir Magellan, how about some charity for a crippled seadog?

Mm.

Why thank you, noble sir.

Oh, they're made of gold!

He just handed me gold coins!

Gold!

Wherever he goes, his Indian fellow

from the Maluku Islands follows.

- Has he ever been? - Magellan has been everywhere.

They say the devil himself showed him a map of the world.

Oh...

Look, he's right over there!

Is he a good of a navigator as they say?

He's the best.

He's so accustomed to the swaying of a ship at sea

that while he's on land, he can't pee standing up.

We still don't know the route we'll take.

When's that notary lad getting here?

Silence. Or I'll kick you out of the line.

Well, hurry it up then, we're frying out here.

Why aren't you gathering the crew already?

Sir Gomez!

Sir Pigafetta, the king's notary

hasn't arrived yet, Captain.

Looks like the voyage is off to a good start.

I can tell you where he is if you'd like.

Mr Magellan, would you like me to read your fortune?

There's no need, we know what's waiting.

We're off to the Maluku Islands, for spices.

Get out of here, you vermin! Stop bothering the admiral!

But, uh...

wouldn't you like to know how your expedition will turn out?

What is your nome?

Ines.

Good Ines...

maybe you should give Captain Cartagena back his belongings?

Ah? Uh!

Where's my pouch?

It probably fell.

Argh! You little thief!

It wasn't me.

Strange things happen in Sevilla all the time, I swear it.

Would you like a rosemary leaf, handsome?

- Urgh! - Calm down, Cartagena.

She's but a young lass.

And now my good captains and I would be interested in knowing

just what's waiting for us in this voyage.

Let's see, here.

Just know that the rosemary leaf doesn't make mistakes

about the future.

- Smell it. - Come on, tell us!

Will we have fair winds, lassie?

Be at ease, everybody, you'll make it back home.

And they'll be talking about this voyage

for a very long time!

Aye, aye!

Where do I sign up?

Halt! Halt in the name of Portugal!

I forbid you from sailing out.

We're on orders from King Carlos from Castile

Mr Ambassador.

You know full well you're not allowed in the Maluku Islands.

The only route into the Cape of Storms is owned by none other

than Portugal!

That's very true, the route to the east is Portuguesa.

That being so, Portuguese ships are the only ones allowed

to bring spices into Europe.

So you can sell them for outrageous prices!

You're bunch of pirates!

We are merchants!

However we won't be taking the Portuguesa route.

We will look for a new route to the west.

But that's impossible.

- No way. - There's no way, Admiral.

Can you explain this matter?

There is no route to the west, all you will find is death!

Or glory.

I promise to take you to the Spice Islands.

Are you with me?

Er...

I don't know...

I'm sure that Mr Magellan knows how to get there.

Sign me up.

The kingdom of Spain has as much right as Portugal

to have commerce with the Maluku Islands.

Say it with me, to the Islands!

- To the Islands! - Yeah!

To the Islands!

You ungrateful traitor of a man, Magellan.

The route to the Spice Islands is ours.

The seas have no owner, Senhor Ambassador.

And now if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work left.

We will leave port tomorrow.

Let's get on board, Enrique, we have a voyage to plan.

You'll never get to the Islands, I swear it.

Be careful, Ambassador.

Being that angry will catch up to you.

Rosemary! Who wants to buy some rosemary?

Good morning, my good sir.

Those ships can't get to their destinacao.

You have to get ready and gather em formacao.

About the route Magellan is taking?

If that presumptuous fool has a map with a route to the west

bring it to me.

If you manage to, I'll shower you with gold.

Hm. It sounds like a complicated mission...

I'll need a little bit more to be persuaded

Alright, fine. Here.

I'm not persuaded.

You're a good spy, but you are too expensive.

You know full well that you can confide in me, Mr Ambassador.

There's a boat entering the dock at great speed!

- Huh? Look there! - There where?

Let's go!

Ooh...

Move out of the way!

Whoa!

Ha...

Signore Elcano!

My name's Antonio...

I know. Antonio Pigafetta, the king's own notary.

He's definitely got a loose screw...

Go slower, per favore!

Blimey! Look there! Take a look!

Save me!

- Get me out of here! - There he goes

- that Juan Sebastian Elcano. - Who?

Only he'd come into the port that recklessly.

Be careful, garzone, there isn't enough space for the boat!

That captain has gone insane!

What are they doing?

Ah! You're going to crash into the port!

- Elcano, turn the ship! - We can make it!
