Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

Who cares? Big retailers and make it record profits.

That's why we support the German Marshall credit card bill.

See, banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing megastore profits, they deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

Call our hands, beat the quarters.

Come out the guard. Stand by, let's cover better.

One broadside into it as you please, Captain Bush.

We're on target.

Vince Tuftrey, eyes are ready.

Fire!

Presenting Michael Redbury,

that sees as far as to his indomitable mind of the sea,

Horatio Hornblore.

It's strange how hard life can be well at sea,

and yet how much a man can approve of it, even welcome it.

Until several months ago, I'd been a country squire,

so Horatio Hornblore,

in residence with my lovely wife, Lady Barbara.

Wearing fashionable clothes,

sitting down each meal time to choice foods,

and yet,

my conscience troubles me in saying it,

I'd left it all with no trace of regret.

And once aboard the Nonsuch,

a Commodore now, in command of a squadron of six vessels,

I felt really alive.

Not until Brown, my orderly,

reminded me that evening of Born Home,

did I realize I hadn't so much touched the delicacies

that Lady Barbara had so thoughtfully provided when we sailed.

There's Chesa,

and there's wine,

and there's buttering clocks.

A lady's ship made a special point that the butter would turn rancid,

as it was used in.

One time for supper over there, Brown,

four bells, sir,

and Captain Bush is downing with you as usual.

I should think a bit of cheese,

instead of ships biscuit,

and so beef would be a welcome challenge.

There's nothing wrong with biscuits and beef, Brown.

Good and every fair, both of them.

Oh, yes, sir.

But you're picking your partners, you're right.

A signal from the Raven, sir.

The Raven, what is it?

She cited a Swedish vessel of ones to speak at the Commodore.

I see.

Must have someone of importance aboard.

All right, I'll come on deck.

Ask Captain Bush if he'll be kind enough to join me.

Aye, aye.

Sir, what, Brown?

Oh, what wish we have for supper?

Oh, suit yourself, Browns.

Suit yourself.

Poor, Brown.

No sooner had I snapped at him,

and I regretted being so close.

Get how could I bother with food with my mind,

full of so many concerns?

We'd been amongst already in the Baltic,

with express orders from the Admiralty

to make it as uncomfortable as possible for Bonaparte.

A show of British strength was needed, definitely.

Russia was neutral,

but with all your up in Boni's grasp,

Russia's help was desperately important.

And what strength had we shown?

A few small engagements.

It would take more than math to bring the czar

to side with us against Napoleon.

As I stood on the quarter deck,

beside Captain Bush,

waiting for the Swedish vessel to come alongside.

I came near to telling him,

my doubts and what is.

I decided against it,

at least for now.

There's two of them coming aboard, sir.

A quarter glimpse of that first one.

It's a suite.

I hope he brings some news, whoever he is.

How long has it been since we've had any bush?

I'd say weeks, sir.

So should I.

For all we know, Bonaparte may have already attacked Russia.

Or Russia may have given up without a title.

Yes, sir.

The second one aboard.

If there isn't a British uniform,

I must stop this.

It is.

A guard's uniform.

A camel bush.

A kernel of the guards here in the middle of the Baltic.

Ah, at least he knows enough of ceremonial

to make sure his salutes are a quarter deck.

Very easy, sir.

You are Captain Sarraja Hornblow?

Yes, Pramadok, amending this squad.

I'm Colonel Lord Witchwood.

I've just passed his view from our ambassador to Stockholm, sir.

And I've also said we're the latest newspapers.

Newspapers are good.

We've been quite short on news, of course.

Yes, I'm sure you have.

Oh, have you made your claim to some barren bastards?

I've heard.

These are representative of Sweden.

He also has some messages.

Oh, gentlemen, forgive me.

Perhaps the best place for this discussion

would be in my cabin.

Captain Bush and I were just about to die,

and if you'd be good enough to join us.

Well, our table can still go to few small bellicases.

There's cheese.

Still, I believe.

And, oh, Brian.

Yes, sir.

But there's cheddar also.

And there's smoke, mutton, lamb, and jams, sir.

Well, break it out at once, Brown.

Lord Witchwood, I notice these newspapers are in German and Polish.

Quiet, sir.

You can translate.

I...

Oh, Barbara's tapers like that, sir.

He's just good enough for me, sir.

And you, Bannon?

A big pardon.

German, I can to some extent.

But the Polish know.

Oh, well, we'll manage, Bannon.

Bush, will you pass the word to my clerk, Sorgher,

to come to my cabin at six bells?

He's a fin, but he's told me that he speaks

all the Baltic languages.

This one is the Königsberg-A-Hartenshire site.

Published and a French censorship, of course.

It reports on a meeting at Dresden.

Bonaparte is there.

At Dresden?

Yes, but I'll go ahead.

So, I can go ahead.

There are nine Army Corps.

At Dresden.

At Warsaw.

At Dancy.

Ha!

All-Aided Reservoirs.

Oh, blah.

How many men would you say that meant all together?

You'll be able to calculate that better than I, Colonel.

Oh, here's your army man, of course.

Oh, blah, blah.

Lied jail.

It might come to half a million.

But we hear you something, sir, Horatio.

The Warsaw Gazette has a long article about Russia.

I read it, sir.

I read it.

It calls Alexander the barbarian ruler of a barbarian people.

Thank you, sir.

I think that will do for now.

Yes, sir.

Good night, gentlemen.

Strange one, that one, Commodore.

He has hate in his eyes.

Possibly, but I'll say, however,

it goes late, and if you and Colonel Witchwood

intend going back ashore, we'd miss it.

Commodore Holbla, I don't think we are going ashore.

What's that?

To put it another way, a bar and basser,

and I wish to stay on board the nonsense.

This is a ship of war, Colonel.

I'm afraid.

I must insist.

It's quite so.

An army to present this to Spassar.

You will notice it from his Britannic mages

as ambassador to the court of Stockholm.

Let's see.

Hmm.

That's it.

Bonaparte has invaded Swedish Polymerania.

Now, this is news.

Balambassi is Sweden, then, no longer neutral.

There has been no formal declaration of war.

Yes, but you have been invaded.

Uh-huh.

I understand.

Yes.

Much still depends on Russia.

Is that it?

Everything depends on Russia.

We sketchly could move along.

Well, Baron, that's one reason we are here

to prove to you that you are not alone.

The Baron says that the Spassar explains more fully

in his heart ratio.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

I am directed and required to enable Lord

which would to open communication with the Russian government,

so as to assure his imperial majesty the Tsar

of the full support by land and sea of British forces

in the event of war between Russia and France.

I am further directed to make use of any opportunity

that may present itself to further better relations

with the Russians.

Better relations?

What does that mean, sir?

A diplomatic language bush.

It means bring young Tsar Alexander into our camp

exactly exactly and by what ever means.

It had better be soon.

The 600,000 of Napoleon's troops massed on our borders.

A short strength that Sweden cannot match.

We've got our own strength, then.

Strength kept in bush.

Six British ships.

Oh, no, no, don't look down here.

Those are better.

Besides, Alexander's a curious fellow.

As a mine of his own, highly emotional.

Never know what mine influence him one way or the other.

Might be anything.

Oh, no disrespect to his great eminence, of course.

Well, come at all.

Come at which word?

Dispatch employs the words directed and required.

Yes.

May I point out that the wording should have been request and advise.

An ambassador cannot give orders to a naval officer.

Where I say now.

Furthermore, my orders from the Admiralty said nothing

about taking part in politics.

Politics, sir?

Important politics?

Sir, what could be more important than to convert Alexander

to your boss?

A naval officer, not a politician.

Still.

Sir, if I may point out something useful.

There's no need to point it out, Bush.

I know what you're going to say.

The very presence of a British squadron well to eastward

in the Baltic could have a sizable effect on Alexander.

Yes, sir.

Gentlemen, I offer you the hospitality of my ship.

Captain Bush, will you give orders to alter our course if you please?

Our destination is the Russian ports of Clonstadt.

We had arrived in Clonstadt harbor.

Not all night long, we lay under the guns of Russian forces.

I tried to show much more assurance about this whole queer project than I felt.

But at least the Russians had returned our entering salute.

The following morning, we had only one visitor.

We had a meeting with the Russian forces.

We had a meeting with the Russian forces.

We had a meeting with the Russian forces.

We had a meeting with the Russian forces.

The following morning, we had only one visitor,

the harbor doctor, to give us pratique.

I come to the sick bay and to index.

No sickness, no plague, no pestilence.

No. Yes, I have seen for myself only the wounded man.

His name?

Lieutenant Wang.

Yes, yes, he does very well after using him.

Later that morning, the wind began to flow.

It was very light, changing first from one quarter to another.

I had requested which wood in the bottom,

and bush one or two of my senior officers to meet me in my cabin.

There was much to decide.

And one of them, I think it was Lieutenant Adams,

gave voice to what we all had on our minds.

Changeable, sir, for these Russians are just like the wind.

Exactly where we're here, Mr. Adams.

We can do nothing about the weather.

We must do something about the Russians.

When does his majesty arrive on board, exactly?

In Cognito, bottom, remember?

In Cognito.

The Cognito.

The North.

His party will arrive at seven bells.

Sir, we'll be taking on war from far away with them.

Yes, sir, we will, Bush.

I can give orders to have it put off till tomorrow.

You will have to serve any elaborate luncheon, sorry, sir.

What in mid-afternoon?

No, absolutely.

With Russians, there must always be something to eat.

The badger's right, whole blow.

Is there a custom always?

Very well. We'll offer him something to eat. Why not?

Oh, pity that buttery horse has turned rancid.

You know what, I'd suggest, whole blow.

Send a party ashore, dig up some of that caviar stuff,

and stirge in all whatever it is, fish.

His rascus positively do it on fish.

Then all this is a bit his ship.

The my dear fellow, what's it got to do with it?

When in Rome, you know the rest of that one?

Yes, yes, you must make a considerable impression.

Politic my dear, whole blow.

It would be most politic.

Shall I put off the water of far away with them?

No, Bush.

No.

But how can we take in water and be in a fit-state bizarre to come aboard, sir?

Unless we water the fritter of us?

From what I've heard of the bizarre, he's a man of sense.

You'll show him the hands of work. That's all.

Ship's routine.

That work?

It covered us in every quarter of the ship.

Exactly, Colonel.

Between decks in the breaking in the sick bay.

And as for food?

We'll give you what we always have.

Ship's biscuit, pea soup, boil beef.

Oh, my dear, a ferris.

A little bit of home blower, I do believe.

You must be mad.

A fenders are in that manner.

He'd go over to burn apart, quit as a wink.

I have data view.

Ship's biscuit, pea soup, and boil beef, Lord, which would.

Now, you've all been recommending if we put on unnatural airs.

I don't believe in that kind of dissembling.

He wants to see a British ship of war, does he?

Very well then.

He shall.

The ship.

Good afternoon, Commodore Hornblatt.

How are you doing?

Good afternoon, Commodore.

Good afternoon, Commodore.

I hope I'll be able to visit those notes

and discommod your greatly.

I'm glad to be able to come back to the honour done for the ship, sir.

And I'd be present, Colonel Hornblatt, which would.

How did you all met?

Sir.

Madam Bassin?

Our Ned sir.

Captain Bush, master of an entourage.

Your servant, sir.

Captain Bush, we'll look aboard it to prepare the ship for taking on water and plywood.

Mr. Lecourt, if you'd care to see more of the ship, I would indeed.

The gun, Dexter.

Watch your head, sir.

There's very little clearance for the man of your height.

So, I observe.

We've opened the gunports to give you a demonstration, sir.

Mr. Carlin, if you please.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

I have a suit.

You'll notice the guns are loaded blank.

Cannonballs are precious, not easy to come by when long it's season.

I think blank will suffice.

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Interesting.

Most interesting.

The midshipman's breath, Mr. Lecourt.

This tiny space, yes, sir.

Come on, Dar.

You were once a midshipman yourself?

For four years, sir.

In the British Navy, everyone starts at the bottom.

Four years.

You lived four years in a bath like this?

Well, not quite as comfortable as I said.

I was in a frigate.

This is a battleship.

It's not as crowded.

Hmm.

I suppose it is necessary.

How long have you served?

I've been in the Navy 19 years.

How long at your present rank?

There's come a door only two months.

Nine years before that has kept in.

Six years after that.

And four years as a midshipman.

Nineteen years.

And yet you seem none the worse for it.

Sir, they've been my happiest days of my life.

Mr. Lecourt, it's close late.

May I suggest luncheon?

Now that we were seated in my cabin around the table,

the wave of doubt swept over me.

We, who doubted?

When I was certain that what I'd done was utterly wrong.

I cursed myself for a headstrong fool.

What did an imperial monarch care about life on board amount of war?

All he said was incredible, amazing,

and then left tenant atoms weached for the ship's biscuit.

He wrapped it on the table, and I wished with all my soul that I were dead.

Who, why do you do that, sir?

This, oh, when I was just, uh...

On breakant enumers to Adams,

we do not serve to get rid of the weebules.

The weebules?

Insect families, or he's knocking them out.

Yes, that's right.

Sir, if you tap gently, they come out of their own court.

Well, this way, do you see, sir?

Yes, yes, I see.

Can I have a bush?

Will you pass me to your account of biscuit trap?

No, no, no, thank you.

I, I think, not thank you.

Brown, will you serve the soup?

Yes.

Pea soup, Monsieur Leconce.

In the British Navy, pea soup is a tradition.

Pea soup?

Hmm, hey, hey.

This is extremely good soup.

Yes, extremely.

I commend it to your excellency.

Well, I, uh...

Come, come, Brown, serve us all.

He's excellency of the minister.

I don't pass it.

I'm hungry as a bear.

This is, uh, a rumble, sir.

Very good, man.

Quite strong, however.

Yes, British, round your excellency.

The lifeblood of the Navy.

Sir, does Bonaparte need a reason for invasion?

He's a tyrant.

Tyrants make up any excuse or none at all.

Now, he controls the entire Baltic coast.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Well, I know little politics.

What little you know seems to be most important.

Bonaparte has threatened Russia.

There are great decisions to be made.

I understand that the Prince Bernadotte is meeting with his arid petrol.

At any moment, yes, I've heard that, too.

Sir, I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

I know that.

Sir, Bonaparte threats are always serious.

His methods are always the same.

A demand and then another demand.

A concession and then another concession.

And finally, when the last concession is made his foe two week by then to resistfully,

he marches in and makes an easy conquest.

He wishes every nation in bondage to you are very eloquent.

I speak from the arts.

I speak for Lord Witchwood and Captain Bush and Lieutenant Adams and Lieutenant Karlin.

I speak for every British soul who's fought against this monstrous power.

And to what effect have you fought?

Britain is still free.

Britain is striking back.

Portugal, as we had asked.

Sicily too.

Thanks, England.

There is only one way left for Bonaparte to turn.

We've closed him in on the south and the west and the north.

And all that is left to him is the east.

Imperial Russia.

You guess, sir?

The hour strikes.

Gentlemen, may I propose a toast?

To the emperor of all the Russians.

The emperor.

The emperor.

The emperor.

Gentlemen, another toast.

The King of Great Britain.

If you please pray, my dear colonel, will you refill the glasses?

Gentlemen, I give you Commodore Horace Johanblower and the British Royal Navy.

May they join with Mother Russia to defeat the French tyrant.

Join with our sir to that we all drink.

Oh, yes, most heartily.

Horace Johanblower, starring Michael Redgrave.
