Treasure Island Page #7

---

So who is for me?

See your paws.

Bloody unanimous.

Move.

Stay.

Do you want to do it?

Forgive this devil

for all he's done.

You see my rescue then?

You made this boat?

From the skin of these devils.

It's not Flint's Walrus, but I'll

be back in the colonies one day.

Me and the rescue out on the sea.

Did you sail with Flint and Silver?

'First boy I was then.'

Like you, I was.

Walk.

Don't ask me no more now.

Where are you taking me?

Walk on.

Now!

Them colours, Christian Jim.

Captain Smollett.

That's where you'll go.

This stinking paradise

ain't got no arms for you, boy.

Go, boy.

Go on.

Hey!

Who's that?

Don't shoot, Jim Hawkins.

I've brought food.

Who are you with, Jim?

No-one, Mr Hunter.

Get your hands in the air.

Who sent you?

No-one.

What do you want?

To speak with the Captain.

Did Silver send you?

No, he didn't.

This boy is a spy.

No.

I ran away from that murderer,

I've been in the island.

We should hang him

for the traitor that he is.

Bind him, Mr Joyce.

Sir.

Captain...

Come on.

Doctor, you know me.

You knew my father.

Your father is a waster, Hawkins.

A debtor.

As untrustworthy as you are.

Now Silver is your father, you will

answer for it before the law.

No.

Captain, I want to be with you now.

I've done nothing to endanger...

Hold your tongue, Hawkins!

Squire, he's just a boy.

Bind him to the post.

Sir.

Thank you.

Appreciate the help.

Appreciate your kindness, missus.

And when Squire Trelawney's men

comes again, I will reason with him.

Ask him not to evict us.

Because, Mrs Silver, my son is on an

expedition with the Squire himself

at this very moment.

Which promises

great reward for them all.

And with that reward, my son will be

able to settle his father's debt.

Sure of it.

But I won't stay long, Mrs Hawkins.

I need to try Bristol again.

My husband's a seafaring man.

He's a good man.

I'll find a way of getting to him.

Then we are the same.

You wait for your husband,

I for my son.

What do you think, Flint?

Flag of truce.

Flag of truce.

See it?

I'm waving it.

What do you want

with your flag of truce, Silver?

Captain Silver, sir.

To come aboard and have a parley.

Make some terms.

Hunter, you cover the west wall,

Gray take the north.

Dr Livesey,

watch the scoundrel like a hawk.

I don't know a Captain Silver.

Well, since the original captain

deserted his ship,

come and put

his pretty little rag somewhere new,

those poor fatherless boys

out there elected me in instead.

And reluctantly, I've stepped up

to the responsibility.

I see you've caught one of our best.

Jim.

Arrest this man, Captain Smollett.

Keep your gun

and your mouth quiet, Trelawney.

Is that clear?

Flag of truce.

Pipes of peace.

You want to parley proper?

I do want to parley proper.

I want to parley proper

with the pipes of piece.

Which is quite difficult to say

this early in the morning.

Now, you are outnumbered.

You ain't got the ship,

there's no relief coming.

You don't need

a spineless quack to tell you

there's pestilence in this place.

So, we should take the map.

Hand it over and we won't kill you.

You know what I never understood

about you buccaneering men?

It's not really about the money,

is it?

You rob, you steal.

Get your hands on riches more than

a decent man like me will ever see.

There is no contentment there,

is there, Silver?

For many, that's true.

For many, it's a life.

And they die in the life.

But that's not me, Captain Smollett.

That's not Long John.

I'm gonna live out my days

in fine clothes with my fine wife,

riding in carriages.

Back in Bristol,

I've got me a bank account.

You stay alive

and you'll see that now.

Give me the map.

We haven't got it.

We know you have it.

Then give me the boy.

Show us this act of mercy and I'll

return the mercy by letting you be.

Let the boy go.

No.

Let him choose.

Captain.

You keep to your word, Silver.

As a captain.

Aye-aye, Captain.

Come on, Jimmy.

Just keep walking.

Take it out your pockets

and we're well away.

Pleasure settling with you,

gentlemen.

You've got a new family now.

I'll look after you

like you were my own son.

That I will, Jim.

Captain Smollett,

I have the map, sir.

Give it to me!

I stole it for him,

that's what he asked of me.

But I never gave it to him

because I knew it to be wrong.

It's them that are the wrong'uns,

you saw it with your own eyes.

Get out, Silver!

Come with me, Jimmy.

Where you belong.

The next time I see you,

you'd better come bladed up.

I will, Smollett.

I will.

Those that die,

they'll be the lucky ones!

You're a thief, boy!

You're a thief!

You're the thief!

You stole me the Doctor

our share of the map!

And that was thievery!

You're the thief!

Squire!

Squire Trelawney.

Go on, you murdered

the last man that hit you.

Gun down, sir.

I wanted to go with Silver

and his men.

Cos I saw no other way

to stay living

because his stubbornness

and his greed

was leading us under the knives

of the cut-throats.

That's enough.

Cos the way you treat Mr Arrow.

I saw little difference

between their law and his.

I was scared for my life.

I was scared for my life

to follow this man any more.

Did you get the map?

John! Sorry, John.

He's gonna hit us as soon as he can

now has no choice

which is what we want.

I want us all on the perimeter.

When you spot them,

I want you all in there.

That's you as well, Jim.

Sharpen your blades, lads.

It's time to play the reaper!

Your father was not untrustworthy,

Trelawney was wrong to say that.

I should have said so myself

at the time.

He was a good friend,

and a good man to your mother.

You should be proud of him.

Silver's got his fighting face,

he's coming.

Don't tell them of Benny Gunn,

will you?

Don't tell that devil about.

He'll kill me as he'll kill you.

Why?

Betrayal.

Betrayal of his crew.

That's what I am.

And when he knows that, he'll

send me down to the hot place, Jim.

Don't let him send me

down to the devils.

All I want is a piece of heaven.

How did you betray him?

I struck a deal

with another crew, I did.

I wanted the treasure for myself.

Brought them to the island

and we looked all over for days.

But they got angered.

And tired of me.

Left me alone.

Then alone.

For my punishment.

How long?

I counted 1,000 days.

But I say a quick prayer

when Sunday's due.

Most of that

I spent looking for gold.

Come and help us fight.

No, you'll die before

you beat that devil.

But if miracles happen, tell your

captain to meet me on the high rock.

And not to bring colours.

But cheese.

Tell him to bring cheese.

I want it, Jimmy.

That's all Benny Gunn wants.

I want my heaven back.

All in.

Come on.

Dr Livesey take the door,

fire through the porch.

Hunter, the north side.

Aye, Captain.

Gray and Trelawney, take the east.

That's where the big wave

will come from.

They're all inside.

George, take half the men

and go for the north.
