The Mark 666 & the New World Order Page #2

I am.

The king announced that I was free.

He was sending me back

and on the understanding

that when spring came

we were to go back to where we came from.

His chiefs had advised him to kill me.

I had gained a knowledge of their arms,

their strong places.

But his daughter assured

him I was a good man.

I should tell people that though

the naturals lived in peace,

they yet were strong and

would not suffer their land

to be taken away.

There was no sea beyond the mountains,

only a land stretching away forever

in great meadows.

A land which had no end.

Captain Smith.

You're back.

The savages will have to stop here, Captain.

Where have you been?

- It's like seeing a ghost.

- Where have you been?

Yeah, you look like you've

come back from the dead.

What's happened here?

Where's Captain Radcliffe?

- No word. Gone.

- Shut your mouth!

- You shoulda never trusted him.

- People say he went over to England.

- We're starving.

- Did you bring food?

- I brought food.

- Someone got killed. Just fell over.

Four months of stealing and

stealing and stealing and stealing.

- Look at him. Bastard.

- Get up!

Gambling.

- They bowl while the houses fall down.

- Gambling.

- Look at the church. We don't even...

- All the sickness that's been

- coming in from the marsh.

- Who's taking care of you?

- No one.

- That's all it is,

- just dying and sickness and all that.

- Hey, I saw a body

- in the mud.

- You're a liar!

- I saw a leg in the bed.

- You are a liar!

- Four people died last night...

- Why was the leg in the bed?

- ... and they're eating 'em.

- Why was the leg in the bed?

Thieves! Jackals! Lash their feet!

You're looking rather well, Smith.

Been enjoying yourself, have you?

Been enjoying yourself mightily,

I expect.

You were sent to relieve our situation,

not to pleasure yourself.

We here have suffered.

I'll ignore the stories which

bring officials only disrepute.

No speeches, Smith. Things are different now.

We can't allow cheek.

Allow cheek, and we shall have chaos.

I wear the medal now. I am President,

and you have been stripped of your captaincy.

Are you qualified to pass judgment on me?

Well, that really needn't

concern us at the moment.

'Tis a pity you were not here

at the time of your trial to defend yourself.

I presume you were too afraid,

too guilty to return.

- My trial?

- Yes.

You were indicted upon a chapter in Leviticus

and tried during the

period of your desertion.

Our law is speedy here.

Been keeping all the good

food for himself, Smith.

Giving us rotten corn.

You, sir, have no other eyes and ears

than those which grow on Smith's head here.

He does nothing but tend his

own pot, his spit and oven.

I have shared all. I have

kept nothing for myself.

- Nothing!

- His name is not even Wingfield.

It's Woodson.

Woodson is the name.

Left England under a cloud of disgrace.

Seize them. Seize them!

Any man impeding the punishment

of these rogues will be dealt with harshly.

Here.

There's no sense in waiting

for a trial. This is mutiny.

I dispatch you herewith

in the name of the king.

Dead as an herring. Serves him right.

I can ratify what Mr. Argall said.

Were we in England I should

be ashamed to let my servant

- keep company with such fellows.

- You never had a servant.

You were a servant. I ate a single chicken,

and that when I were ill.

Small here has eaten six,

a number of which he could

not be troubled to cook.

- I say Captain Smith should lead us.

- Aye.

Tell her.

Tell her what?

"I love you,

but I cannot love you"?

It was a dream.

Now I am awake.

Look who wandered in.

What should we do with him?

Nothing.

He's mad,

harmless.

It's yours.

Take it home.

It's a dud.

On the Swiss step, withdraw! March!

- St. George! St... St. George!

- Man:
March!

- March!

- St. George! St. George!

St. George,St. George, St. George!

Don't push and shove now. Watch it!

- March!

- St. George, St... St. George.

- March!

- St. George!

I let her love me.

I made her love me.

And what was your disagreement about?

He said today is the 15th of October.

I said the 17th.

I must.

You were fighting

about the day of the year?

Damnation is like this.

Didn't I tell you to dig a new

well farther from the shore?

Why hasn't this been done?

Every man will stop what he's doing right now

and start digging the well! Those of you

that can't carry the dirt in buckets

shall carry it with your own hands!

He that will not work shall not eat!

The labors of honest and industrious men

shall not be consumed to

maintain the idleness of a few!

The country is to them a misery,

a death,

a hell.

Mind yourself, mate.

While they starve, they dig for gold.

There is no talk,

no hope, no work but this.

If there's so much gold, why

don't the naturals have any?

You're chasing a dream.

You see what men

they've sent us...

a headless multitude.

They will not sow corn for their own bellies.

They would rather eat their

fish raw than go a stone's throw

and fetch some wood to dress it.

Bad water.

Sturgeon gone.

- ... the waste cities...

- Mutterings.

they shall live in them.

They shall plant vineyards

- and drink the wine.

- In that day...

- Love good and hate evil!

- I will raise up the tent of David...

and close up the breaches of his tent.

Take away from me the noise of your music

and your songs, so I will not hear

- the melody of thy harp.

- The Lord has given the command,

and He will smash them...

large house into pieces

and the small house into bits!

Somebody should shoot Small there.

He hasn't got a ghost of a chance,

and he'll contaminate us all.

He used Wortham's spoon...

now Wortham's gone,

my friend.

Have we got to wait till all is dead?

Sir, Ackley's dead.

Somebody ate his hands.

Went out in the height of style, anyhow.

Such tranquility,

you'd think he could speak.

I shall miss him.

I think we all shall.

We're 38 now.

To go back up that river.

To love her in the wild.

What holds you here?

What are your intentions towards her?

Towards them?

There's nothing in the

river. The river's empty.

We wanna go back to England. Please, can we?

Please can we go back to England, please?

- Where's Captain Newport?

- Gone for sure. There's nothing to eat.

Captain Newport will be back shortly.

- Does he have food?

- He'd better.

- When will we go back to England?

- We're starving.

When will we go... they're

eating all the dead.

Do you believe in ghosts, Captain?

People don't care about

the Indians no more.

What's all this?

Don't put yourself in danger.

You don't have to do anything else...

for us.

Why have you not come to me?

I know, my love.

Don't trust me.

You don't know who I am.

Remember.

Thank you. God be with you.

- God bless. May Almighty God bless you.

- May God be with you.

Thank you,thank you, thank you.

Thank you kindly.

Who are you

whom I love?

She...

brass touched her hair.

- Where are you going?
