The Individual
He's not escaped.
I'm not after all that. I give up.
It's you, Doctor.
Who else would be walking around the jetty at this time of night dressed like a soldier who's been wounded in battle?
Yeah, you've got a point there, but why?
Why? Because I like it here.
Besides, it keeps the other soldiers away.
Oh, I'm cold and hungry.
I know just the place. Hold that.
Let's get these things aboard the boat.
The boat?
It's just a few wee gifties for our friends aboard the Annabelle.
Come on.
There you are, sir. All signed and attested.
But what's your signature?
Not before time.
A little wine for your cold heart, lawyer?
I never mix liquor with business. I would advise you to do the same.
You sail on the morning tide, remember?
Happen it's too foggy to sail. What that?
You sail. Fog or no fog.
And crash the old girl's timbers on Channery Point.
I took you for a seaman.
Why, that I am. I am!
Trask will get your cargo and little booties to Barbados.
Never fear. That's what really counts, lawyer.
Not those dried up bits of parchment of yours.
Without these bits of parchment, we would all sail foul of the King's law.
Law? What do the law or anyone care for those island cattle we carry?
Nothing. But to take these cattle safely to the slave plantations...
...before their strength is sacked by His Majesty's prisons...
...that takes skill and preparation.
And what would happen to thee if this trade were to be discovered to the Duke?
That will never happen, Trask.
There are but three of us privy to this secret.
I can answer for myself and Perkins.
Hey, Perkins.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Indeed you may.
As for you, Captain, you must answer for yourself.
T'was but in jest. You know me, solicitor.
I'm a man of my word.
As for you, you must answer for yourself.
Aye. And that is the way you will remain, Mr. Trask.
Ah, that's better. I never thought I'd ever see a mill like that again.
But listen, Ben, how did you manage to get loose underwater, I mean?
Well, it's the old Houdini trick, Duchess.
You flex your muscles when they tie you up.
Then when you're ready, you relax them.
Well, that way, you're half the size you were before. Get it?
Oh, and that's all there is to it?
Well, almost all.
I bet. Hey, you've got your own clothes back.
Yes. Can you imagine?
I found them thrown out on the rubbish dump behind the inn.
Amazing, innit? Well, mine shall be dry by now.
I liked you better in your dress, Doctor.
Aye, you made a good granny.
Now then, do we all know what we have to do?
Ben?
Yeah. I take you out of the ship in the rowing boat,
then double round the back smartish while they're sorting you out,
and then pass the weapons through the porthole.
Well, Kirsty and I just sit here and wait for you to get back, if you ever do.
No fear. We've done enough waiting.
But it may be dangerous.
They may not swallow my story.
Yeah, and they may say me in the boat.
Even with this on.
I would like a hat like that.
Nevertheless, we're not going to let you two out of our sights, are we, Kirsty?
Will you get into such terrible trouble without us?
Very well. You shall come in the rowing boat.
It might be a good idea at that.
Well, what do you want me to do now?
I've got another idea for you, Ben.
I can hardly believe it.
They've played right into Solicitor Grey's hands.
My own crew amongst them.
Can you blame them?
It's a poor choice between the gallows and the plantations.
A man will clutch at any straw to save his skin.
What will they do with us, sir?
I fear they'll make an example of us once Trask gets away to sea.
They'll not let me live, that's for sure.
Ah, well, better a fast death than a lingering one under the overseers.
Have no regrets.
If I could see my Kirsty again, I'd die content.
3,500 guineas. You will collect this amount in gold on delivery of the prisoners
and render strict accounting to me.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir, Mr Grey, sir. Quite clear, sir.
You may trust me to the death, sir.
Now I must return ashore.
I shall expect to see you in London at the end of October.
Meanwhile, keep a close eye on Trask.
He's not the worst of the devil's men.
You're going in there and I'll break him to see him.
I suspect company, Mr Solicitor.
Caught him coming over the side.
Bull is a Welsh pirate.
And of my own free will.
Delighted to meet you again, Mr Solicitor Grey.
You may not be so delighted when we part company this time, Doctor.
If you'd ask these fellows to let go of my arms, I have a small token for you.
Indeed. I have not forgotten the last one.
All right, let him go.
Let me have him. I'll soon change his tune.
Silence! Peckins, the door.
Yes, sir.
Well, go on.
Darling, let me see. Where did I put it?
No, it's not in there. I transferred it from there into this pocket.
No, it's not there. No, perhaps it's in here.
Oh, you!
I would advise you to find this token quickly.
Before I leave you to the tender mercies of Mr Trask.
I've got it.
Here we are.
Look at the seal.
Stuart Arms.
Well, Mr Grey.
Where did you get this?
From the hands of Prince Charles himself.
Where, man? Where?
In prison.
I don't follow.
It's perfectly easy.
Prince Charles disguised himself as a Highlander.
And was taken prisoner with the rest of the rebels.
But where is he now?
I wonder what that information would be worth.
Now let me see.
I'll burn it out of him.
No!
How much do you think it to be worth, Doctor?
Well, shall we say...
10,000 guineas?
Father!
Huh?
Father!
Aye, my child.
Father, listen to me.
I hear you, Kirsty.
Father, it's me, it's Kirsty. I'm here.
Aye.
I must be dreaming.
Kirsty.
Shh, keep your voice down.
I'm here.
I'm dreaming, Kirsty.
Shh, keep your voice down.
Where are you?
I'm outside here.
My child, are you well?
Are you having a harm, are you?
I'm fine, thank you.
Better, a world better for hearing your voice.
But you cannot stay there.
They'll find you.
Now, take this.
It's a miracle.
I must be in a dream.
Father, it's no dream.
We've got arms for all of you, and a plan.
Now, can you come closer?
All right.
Now, listen.
You drive a hard bargain, Doctor.
But no matter, I agree.
Now, where is he?
The very last place you would think of looking for him.
Well?
Right here on this ship.
Let me have him.
Dangerous jest.
Did you mark the young highlander who was with me?
The piper?
Piper?
The soft hands and face?
No.
Did you notice his hair?
Unmistakable.
That was the prince.
You had better be very sure.
Would I come and place myself in your hands if I was not very sure?
We'll smell out the pretender right now, by heaven.
Come along then.
Take it.
Yes, sir.
Aren't you forgetting one thing?
What?
I'm the only one who knows what he looks like.
Bring him along then, make haste.
He's asleep.
In here, Doctor.
Quiet.
If they have any suspicion of whom we're looking, I'd know him to be here.
Come on, Doctor.
Ham?
No.
What about Em?
No.
Pepsi is far, far over.
If you have made a mistake...
I found him.
He's the little one.
Over there.
Cricket.
Take a turn!
Now I shall relieve you of your wives!
Not yet, we're in a fight!
What's that?
Ah!
Holy!
What's that?
Ah!
I'll get you!
Right lads, to me!
Throw this derby squab over the side!
I shall master him!
You!
I'll make sure of you this time, lad!
Right lads!
Where's Trot?
In the boat!
Good luck!
Hold!
Company!
Hold!
I want men!
Bring them over here!
That's right!
We sail for France on the next tide!
I want willing hands!
If you hadn't volunteered, you would have had a long, cold swim for it!
Right now!
Make ready!
Off with you!
Go on!
Up to the top!
On with you!
Damn well, son!
Well done!
Here's your father!
There we are!
Hold it!
Father!
Lost in the fog!
Well done!
You did it!
But we've won!
Only for the moment!
What do you mean?
Well, the real job's only just beginning!
Getting back to the TARDIS with only a rough idea where it is and the whole English army
out to stop us!
What are we going to do?
Well, we're going to get ashore before they get underway.
That's the first thing.
Right, Doctor?
Right!
Stand by!
Capstan!
We have to go ashore now.
Oh, don't bother me, old man!
Stand by!
What about the prisoners?
Take Mr. Gray ashore as a hostage.
And the clerk?
Well...
Uh, Laird, may I have converse with you?
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
Don't send me ashore with that man, sir.
Now, if you're going to France, maybe you can do with a secretary, especially one who's
conversant with the French town.
Shifting with the wind, you rogue!
I'm not going to be a secretary!
I'm going to be a captain!
Captain!
Oh, well, sir!
Take him with you.
Then make sure that he's fast, sir!
All right, sir.
Take him with you.
Well, take him with you.
Until he's fast, leave him with me, sir.
Take him with you.
Well, take him with you.
Take him with you.
He's not going to go with you.
And the strong wind, you rogue!
Well, Doctor, what do you say?
If any of your people speak French...
Ah, but little.
Then take him with you.
He'll stay loyal enough...
Oh, I will!
I will, sir!
Until the wind shifts again.
Laird!
Sir!
I can't even see the ship.
They said they'd send us a signal before they went.
Hey, look! There it is!
Do you think they'll beat the English blockade?
The fog will help them. More than it will help us.
We never even said goodbye to Jamie.
No, he just disappeared. I wonder where he went to.
Right here.
Jamie!
By himself!
Why don't you go with the others?
Let's see if Fancy MacChad is here better.
Besides, you'll need someone to guide you through the glen, won't you?
How did you know?
Glad to have you with us, Jamie.
But won't you be in danger here, though?
If they can survive here, so can I.
Hey, watch it!
Quick, through these doors!
They're going away. It's all right.
Help!
One more move and you're a dead man.
They heard!
I don't want to be a mindless!
Doctor!
I'm certainly glad I'm on your side.
Great!
The window!
No, Ben, it's too late.
But he was our hostage.
They'll never let us get through the TARDIS now.
We'll find someone else.
Eh, Polly?
What the?
We want your company, mate, if you don't mind.
You won't refuse us, Algy dear.
Oh, this is really too much.
This way.
Dammit, man, where the devil do you think you're going?
Colonel!
Well, have you forgotten it's your deal, Finch?
Yes, sir, I know, but I was just...
Well, who are these vagabonds?
Well, Colonel, they're...
Dr. Fonfaire at your service, sir, remedies for the agus, the twitch, the colic, the warts and the gout.
The gout? I haven't got the gout.
Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn't waste your time with that, a fine, healthy gentleman like yourself.
No, it's... it's this ring, you see, sir.
Perhaps we'd better get back to the game, sir, the night air.
Oh, blast the night air!
Let me see!
The... the pretenders ring!
Where did you get this, man?
Well, you go up there and to the left.
No, perhaps it's better to explain this way.
To the right and...
What are you talking about?
No, second source, perhaps the other way.
We were taking the lieutenant, you see, sir.
The game, sir.
Confound the game, this is the prince's ring.
Go with him, take it and attach him.
No, no, sir!
What?
Oh, that might frighten the blackguard, sir.
We are enough to apprehend him.
Go on, lieutenant, you have your orders.
What are you waiting for?
Yes, sir, but this went...
Yes, sir.
Very good, sir.
And when you have them, we will bring it back to you, sir.
Right.
You know where you are now?
Yeah, I won't forget this place in a hurry.
Well, it's time we say goodbye, lieutenant, and thank you.
I've been telling him all about Mr. Gray's activities.
Yeah, you want to nab him quick.
Ouchie!
Here you are.
Thank you very much.
It was nothing.
Ah, so you found these rebels, lieutenant.
Well done.
You can escort them with me to Inverness.
You will not escape the gallows this time, doctor.
Any of you.
As for you, wench, I'll have you tied to the tail of a cart and whipped from one end of...
Silence!
What was that you said?
I've heard the whole story of your schemes from this young lady here.
You take a word of this rebel?
What wicked times we live in, lieutenant.
A prison commissioner using his office to smuggle rebels out of the country.
You're wasting your breath, doctor.
It was all perfectly legal.
The rebels signed the contracts for transportation of their own free will.
Contracts?
I don't believe I saw any contracts.
Did you, Ben?
No, I wouldn't know what they were.
Are you, Jamie?
Me?
No.
A lie, lieutenant.
The contracts were signed.
I have them right here in my...
In my...
So sad.
One, some promising legal talent.
I'm not planning for slave traders, solicitor.
I'm placing you under arrest.
I warn you, lieutenant...
I've had enough of your warnings, sir.
Gag him, sergeant.
Take him to prison under arrest.
No, wait!
This is not a trick, you fool!
If the colonel hears of this, you'll be lucky to end up as a bandmaster!
Take him away!
You traitorous dog!
You might follow me!
Well, goodbye, doctor.
Goodbye.
Wait!
Algie, why did you do it?
Chance to put pay to a villain, ma'am.
It wasn't just that, was it?
Not quite, ma'am.
Thank you, Algie.
Goodbye.
Well, I wouldn't linger here if I were you.
These Moors, you know, they're still scarring them for rebels.
Goodbye.
Sit down.
One thing I don't understand, where those contracts went?
I've no idea.
Well, how did they get there?
You old fraud.
Come on, we must go.
What about Jamie? We can't leave him here.
True, his ship's sailed.
What will you do?
I'll be all right. They won't catch me.
Did you hear that? They'll catch us all if we don't move fast.
Doctor, can we take him with us?
If he teaches me to play the bagpipes.
If you want, doctor.
That's all we need.
Come on, Jamie.
But where are we going?
I don't see.
