 A float with Henry Morgan. The notorious buccaneer Henry Morgan captures the Spanish ship. This is tragic news for the Spanish governor of Cuba, Don Pietro Pizarro, because the ship contains some of his own personal treasure, including a fabulous Aztec necklace. Diatz, a renegade Spanish member of Morgan's crew, covers the necklace to give to Kitty, the serving wench at the Dolphin Tavern in Port Royal. He incites two members of the crew to kill Morgan. Morgan is saved by a stranger and they go to the Dolphin Tavern. Kitty is taken by this man, who says his name is Jeffrey Hunter, but she is more taken by the necklace which is shown to her by Morgan. And after they leave, she tells Diatz that she will be his woman if he gets for her the Aztec necklace. And I mean it, Diatz. Get me that necklace and I'll be yours. You're not kidding. That is something I have dreamed of doing. The moment I set my eyes on it, I could see a line around your white neck. In my mind, I could see it. That's near there. Tonight you did boast loud and long as to how you could buy my freedom to make me yours. You don't need to buy it now. Just give me the necklace of your life. Oh, you give a man a hard task. It isn't easy to take anything from Captain Morgan when he decides it by himself. Then may have if I'm nice to Captain Morgan, he will give it to me of his own accord. Well, no, no. I just fancied that necklace. Remember, Diatz, there are plenty here in this tavern this very night who would willingly get it for me at the price I'm offering. Someday you will drive me to a stake when I will kill you. A woman can make an angelus only so far and then after that it's dangerous for a woman. Or may have the tall handsome stranger who was with Captain Henry could get it for me. You're driving me crazy. What was it Morgan was talking to the man about? Who is he? Oh, how do I know? Would you like to know more about the handsome stranger? I distrust this sudden friendship. May have I could find out from the man all about himself. You'll leave him alone or by heaven I'll kill you. You'll get the necklace for me and then you'll have no need of the genus. You attract me, dear. A lot. I could be happy with you if I had the necklace. That's my price. Bring me the necklace and you need never have any genus of any other man. Captain Morgan I beg of you. Please go back to the ship and put that necklace in some safe hiding place. So it is careful you are over my help isn't it? A hundred men tonight wanted to get their hands on it. And you're full enough to roam this part of Port Royal at night alone. Next time may have I'll not be about when you're set upon. Leave me temporarily at the necklace. You take it. Take it back to my ship, the flying gull. Captain Morgan, you trust me enough to give me the necklace with instructions to take it back to your ship? Aye, Hunter, that's what I said. I trust as a reward for the service you did me tonight. Wait aboard ship till I return. Here. Take this ring. Show it to the man on watch and he'll know that you've come from me. He'll take you to my quarters. Wait there until I return. When will that be? That I don't know. I have business to attend to but I'll see you, Hunter, back aboard the flying gull. Sir, you're back again, Morgan. Yes, Sir Thomas. I must apologize for this late visit but I was detained in town. Your trip was successful. Highly successful, Your Excellency. I'm glad that you've died before coming to see me. While you're away, things have changed, Morgan. They've changed considerably. Huh? What do you mean? I have received from England documents set with the both seal. Documents which came directly to me as the Thomas Notford Governor of Jamaica. Not the assembly. And these documents contain what, Sir Thomas? Spain has protested to England against many of your type. England is beginning to frown on Buccaneers. It's been asked to see that it's stopped. No laughing matter, Morgan. No laughing matter at all. I know it is a serious matter. It was not that I was laughing at. It was that you should be ordered to stamp out this notorious practice. I am here to carry out the King's wishes. I publicly, Your Old Rogue, but not on the sly. Publicly, you must condemn me. But privately, you give me welcome when I return for my trips. That's how it is, is it not? Fine. That's how it is, Morgan. But I have a solution. Good. Let me hear it. An admiral could not be a Buccaneer, could he? I, St. David, is that what you have in mind? You line my pockets well, Morgan. I seek not to lose that which you have into my coffers. But I must obey the King's instructions. You understand that. As governor of Jamaican waters, I will give you a cloak of respectability. And the moment you sail into Port Royal, you will become my vice admiral. What you do beyond Jamaican waters, of course, is beyond my control. You sly fox. And what of the other Buccaneers? Those who don't join your fleet will be hunted down and wiped out. Oh, so that's what it is, is it? You're giving me a license. You're granting me a license to become the chief Buccaneer of the Caribbean. Oh, no. I'm creating you vice admiral with the power to find your own fleet. Your main task will be to drive the other Buccaneers off the seas. Because what you do beyond the seas of Jamaicans is partly your own business. For creating this position for you, I naturally require recontent. And recompense you shall have man. Well, you'd better see I get it, Morgan, because I am supreme on this island. My word is law. I hold your destiny in my hands. Oh, that reminds me. I've received another mail on the last packet that arrived. Can you set sail almost immediately? I? For what reason? The ship called the Elizabeth Anne is due in any day now. I want you to go and meet her. Give her protection and bring her safety back to Port Royal. For what reason? Oh, there's the Kinnswoman of mine aboard her. And when it delays in, she's French in a distance relation. Her parents have died and she's coming to join me here in Jamaica. I'd like you to meet Elizabeth Anne and bring her safety to Port Royal. You're sure that that is the reason? You're not sending me out to a trap, are you? A trap? Why should I when you lie in my pockets and I've just made you by sad mode? That office might have been created to throw dust in my eyes. You might fear me. You wish to lull my senses with false promises and have me sailing to a trap. But why? Because the Kinns told you to be rid of Buccaneers and you fear me. I don't trust you, Sir Thomas Mockford, Governor of Jamaica. I know you're for what you are. I'll meet your vessel, but I'll be well prepared. This is all unnecessary. No, it is unnecessary, Finke. I know, Sir Thomas, that you'd sell me into trouble if you thought it was to your advantage. When I heard you wanted to see me, Cortes, I could not believe my ears. After giving you another ship, don't tell me you have failed me a second time. No, Your Excellency, Don Pietro. I have come to tell you that I have redeemed myself. Re-deemed yourself? Cortes, what do you mean? Two days out from Cuba, I sighted a ship. I recognized her as British. I engaged her in combat and I have captured her. Spain is avenge for the loss of my other ship. Indeed. Is that so? Yes. And did this British ship carry as much treasure as the ship you lost? Has that been replaced? I ask you, Cortes, have you replaced the fabulous Aztec Neclic? The cargo, Senor, was mainly silks and other goods sent for trade in Jamaica. A mere pettiness to the cargo you lost. Was she carried passengers quite a number? We will send them in a crew to the slave markets. They will at least bring back some more return. But when I think of the loss of the Aztec Neclic, I feel bitter about the whole thing. And you come prattling about the price you have taken. I have your excellency. There is something of great value aboard the ship. Well, what is it? I discovered amongst the passengers of the Elizabeth Anne a girl. Very beautiful. Then she will fetch a good price. Don't be ato. You must take my meaning. You will see for yourself. She is not English. She is French. Her name is Antoinette de Lacey. And she is a kinswoman of Sir Thomas Mottford, the governor of Jamaica. She was sailing to Port Royal to join him. So this is interesting. You have kept the woman safe? When you see her, you will understand it was with difficulty. But I succeeded. I took the liberty of bringing her with me here into your home. She waits outside in the anti-room now. She speaks quite fluent Spanish. Hmm. Bring her in. Bring that woman in here. Oh, dear. Then you are pleased. Please help me. Don't harm me. Please, I beg of you. Mme de Lacey, there is no need for you to be afraid. Please don't send me to the slave market. I beg. I beseech you. It would seem, Cortes, that Mme de Lacey thinks we ill-treat women. You need have no fear, Mme de Lacey. You shall be taken care of, looked after. Did I hear you, Father? Mme de Lacey, I want you to meet my daughter, de Lacey. De Lacey, take Mme de Lacey. She will tell you all about herself. Treat her like an honored guest. I will see you in a very short while, just when I finish speaking with Cortes. Yes, Father. Come with me. Oh, you are right, Cortes. You have brought me a treasure. The king's woman of Sir Thomas Muthard. I know Sir Thomas works hand in glove with that pirate Henry Morgan. So, in exchange for Morgan, Sir Thomas will have returned to him his kin's woman, Mme de Lacey. Messengers must be sent to him immediately, at once. Well, de Lores, what do you think of our guest? Father, have you sent messages yet to Sir Thomas Muthard? No, child. Not until tomorrow. Then, Father, do not send them. Huh? Why not? I have been talking to Mme de Lacey, asking her about herself. Well? She has never seen Sir Thomas Muthard. He has never seen her. As you know, I speak French and English very well. Sissy, but where is this leading to de Lores? My Aztec necklace went to Jamaica. I want it back. Now is the chance to get it back myself and to trap Henry Morgan at the same time. I will go to Jamaica masquerading as Antoinette de Lacey. How will fare this beautiful Spanish spy on the island of Jamaica? Listen to the next episode of A Float with Henry Morgan.
