Treasure Island (Остров сокровищ)

TREASURE ISLAND

At the end of the XVlll century in a southern glen

in one of the counties of Ireland arose a rebellion.

Defeated in a clash with government forces a remnant of a rebel detachment retreats.

Misses Hawkins. Doctor Livesey is wounded. We need to hide him.

Get your strength back, Livesey. We will make our way across the

gorge by the old mill to our camp. And then continue our struggle.

Commander! Our detachment in the southern glen suffered a setback.

Doctor Livesey with a number of our men retreated

along the coast in the direction of Benbow.

And why are you here, Captain?

My Commander, we have no gunpowder. We have nothing with which to fight.

Gunpowder? You have no gunpowder?

Well, without gunpowder you can still fight. Swords? Knives? Your teeth?

With your teeth you can tear open the throats of our enemy.

Or don't you still have your teeth... Captain?

Here's gunpowder, Smollett.

But that's the last of it.

Yes, that's the last of it. This means we must use it sparingly.

This means we should make a surprise attack on those mad dogs.

And take the powder that they have.

But then you are forgetting, Smollett, about our friends from liberated France.

At any time now a ship should arrive with arms.

But perhaps wouldn't it be wise...?

It would be best, Smollett, to carry out the Commander's order.

Get through to Benbow and rescue Livesey and his men.

Be seeing you again soon Misses Hawkins. Take good care of Livesey.

A tankard of rum.

Jenny, a tankard of rum.

Yes, mother.

I'll stay here for a while. I'm a congenial man.

Rum, bacon, eggs. That's all I need.

Where are you from? Who are you?

What business is it of yours, Misses?

Life is not peaceful in these parts.

Call me Captain. Less jabber that I am here.

Jenny, a room upstairs for the Captain.

Yes, mother.

We don't have any help. Just me and my daughter.

Better this way. I'd like to carry this chest myself.

Keep a watchful eye. Should a seaman with one-leg make his appearance,

this means all hands on deck.

Livesey!

Jenny!

Who is making all that noise down below, Jenny?

Don't be alarmed, Livesey. It is some seaman. He will be staying upstairs.

Thank you, Jenny.

I was with you in your heroic service,

A storm thundered over the land.

I was with you,

And held back my tears,

And my eyes were dry.

So in your ardent mission,

Quietly and bravely,

Go and fear nothing.

If they harm my man,

His woman will,

On the enemy avenge him.

If they harm my man,

His woman will dress.

His grievious wounds.

There where horses tread over the dead,

Where the entire land is red with blood,

Allow that she may help you,

Protect you from projectiles.

My sweet love,

For whatever shall arise,

For you I am ready.

Go and fear nothing.

If they harm my man,

His woman will.

On the enemy avenge him.

If they harm my man,

His woman will dress.

His grievious wounds.

Mate, boldly unfurl the sails. Yo-ho-ho, make merry like the devil.

Eh, mistress! Rum!

Where are you, dear Billy?

Why do you not come out to meet your old shipmate?

I bring you greetings from he who has one leg.

Some killed by the bullet, the rest by old

age Yo-ho-ho, all the same all're overboard.

Pieces of Eight! Pieces of Eight!

Old Flint's parrot? That means you are here, Bill.

Show yourself and be quick! Or have you decided to play hide-and-go-seek with me?

Okay.

You have followed my tracks, Dick.

Tell me what you came for.

I came for the map.

Were you unable to keep what was yours and now you chase after that of others?

Get out of here!

Eh, Billy, Billy. Many waves have flowed past since we last met.

You have a short memory.

You forget the law of the Gentlemen of Fortune. Give me your right hand.

The Black Spot! Whatever, I will not hand over the map.

How terrible.

I need to weigh anchor.

Livesey. This is the seaman I spoke to you about. He's been injured.

Rum!

The word rum and the word death mean for you one and the same.

Trust me. I am a doctor.

All doctors are swabs. What do they understand about seafaring men?

I have been in such lands as hot as boiling pitch,

where men drop round with Yellow Jack.

And quakes shaking the land like waves in the sea.

What do you know, doctor, of lands like these?

And I have lived on rum. Yes! Yes!

Rum for me has been meat and water and a wife and a friend.

The rogues! They got wind of where I am! I do not fear them!

Billy Bones will cast off and again will slip away from them.

Dick is a dreadful man.

But the one-legged one who sent him after me is even more dreadful.

Don't let them have the chest! Don't let them have it!

In there... in there is the map. I alone know the place.

Old Flint himself gave it to me before his death.

Keep close watch.

Pieces of Eight! Pieces of Eight!

Rum.

The map is probably hidden here. He kept speaking about the chest.

He sailed with the infamous pirate Flint.

Here's the map.

In the name of the King!

We are looking for those who rose in rebellion in the southern glen.

Rebellion? What kind of rebellion, sire?

Don't pretend to know nothing.

We have reliable information that you have given refuge to these marauders.

Be reasonable, sire.

Enough of this jabber. Conduct a search.

I beg your pardon, sire. Are you looking for someone?

But there is no one here, sire.

Other than our guest, Billy Bones. Yes, and...

We will see for ourselves.

Eh? Who is here?

Your name!

My name is Billy Bones. People call me Captain.

From what ship?

I lost this eye on the ship of the fearless Admiral Hawke.

I am waiting to fight again so I can lose my other eye.

Under the command of Admiral Hawke?

Hands up!

Stand back!

Give yourselves up!

Take a look at our captives!

I am glad to see you, Livesey.

There's bad news.

A storm destroyed a ship on which our friends

from France were bringing us arms and powder.

My Commander, we will have arms, and we will have powder!

Look at this!

We found this map in the trunk of the dead seaman Billy Bones here.

This a map of the island where the infamous Flint

hid his horde of treasure and pirate arms.

But in order to get to this island we will need a ship. We will need funding.

If we give half of this treasure to someone

wealthy, well, even to the swindling Trelawney,

he will provide as much as we need for equipping the expedition

Trelawney? How can we do business with this dirty, money-grubbing swindler?

There is no other way. We must take advantage of this scoundrel.

We will try to settle accounts out of his purse.

This will be our chance so those he robbed his whole life will get some of it back.

I am afraid that he will find out who we are.

Allow me to talk it over with Squire Trelawney.

If I go to him, he will suspect nothing.

Great idea, Jenny. Go ahead.

But, sire, only that this must be an absolute secret.

My child, can it be you do not know that I can be silent as a tomb?

Your father rented land from me for 40 years.

I have know you since you were a baby. You can trust me fully.

Sire, you can be many times richer than you are now.

You. Sire, can acquire an immense treasure.

Yes?

But you will be startled, sire.

Don't let this bother you. Tell me. Tell me, child.

Sire, have you heard of Captain Flint?

Have I heard of Captain Flint?

He was the most bloodthirsty of all pirates.

He robbed and sank hundreds of ships. Oh, he was a daring marauder.

I can frankly confess to you I am sometimes even proud that he was an Englishman.

But why do you ask have I heard about Flint?

Because there are those who know where Flint's treasure is hidden.

Tell me, child. Only remember that this is a secret.

An absolute secret! No one must know about this.

Yes, you see, I... I have only told this to you, sire.

Well, yes, just to me, if to others then the

whole country will know. Well, tell me, tell me.

Yes, but keep in mind that half of the treasure

belongs to those who divulge this secret to you.

One third perhaps?

No, sire, one half.

Well, okay, only do not trouble me with this. Do not trouble me.

Gentlemen...

Sire Trelawney wishes to speak with you.

My Commander, we are ready to depart.

Well, all the best to you, Livesey.

You and Smollett. I can only entrust to you such a difficult and dangerous matter.

You will have to keep careful watch on this rogue Trelawney.

From him we can expect both meanness and treachery.

Every hour, every minute, you should feel the beating of our hearts.

And we will feel the beating of yours.

We will hold out till your return. Only make it quick.
