MELVILLE: How does one come
to know the unknowable?

2
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,890
- What faculties must a man possess?

3
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,840
- Since it was discovered that whale oil

4
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,320
- could light our cities
in ways never achieved before,

5
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,600
- it created global demand.

6
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,320
- It has pushed man to venture
further and further

7
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520
- into the deep blue unknown.

8
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,600
- We know not its depths,

9
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,650
- nor the host of creatures
that live there.

10
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,370
- Monsters.

11
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,680
- Are they real?

12
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,530
- Or do the stories exist only to make us
respect the sea's dark secrets?

13
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,930
- The question both vexes and excites me

14
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,800
- and is the reason
I've written you a second time

15
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,720
- to request a meeting.

16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,120
- A conversation with you, sir,
I believe will serve me well

17
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,880
- for the novel I intend to write,

18
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080
- currently entitled Moby Dick.

19
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,000
- I hope you will reconsider my offer.

20
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,320
- The unknown.

21
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
- That is where my imagination
yearns to venture.

22
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,360
- And so the question plagues me still.

23
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
- How does a man come to know
the unknowable?

24
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,080
- Sincerely, Herman Melville.-

26
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,250
No boarders after 8:00.

27
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,930
You came.

29
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,440
Someone here for you, my love.

30
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,800
Tom Nickerson?

31
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,290
Herman Melville.

32
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,800
We received your letter.

33
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,240
You're either a desperate man

34
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880
or a fool to come
all the way to Nantucket.

35
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,530
Well, my offer still stands.

36
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Three months' lodgings
for a single night's talk.

37
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560
All I have in the world.

38
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
But I prefer to think of it
as an investment.

39
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,840
I want you to tell me
what happened to the Essex.

40
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,280
(SIGHS)
What do you think happened?

41
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,650
There are rumblings.
Rumors that the Essex was...

42
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,880
What do you want?

43
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000
What story do you expect to hear?

44
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,600
That of the whale.

45
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,320
The Essex ran aground.
There was a full inquiry.

46
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,280
I believe the inquiry
was less than truthful.

47
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,160
Get out.

48
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,840
You are the last survivor
of the Essex, sir.

49
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,600
If you won't talk, who will?

50
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Did you not hear me? Leave. Now.

51
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,970
(DOOR CLOSES)

52
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:36,600
- No. You mustn't go. Please.
- He is in no mind to talk.

53
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400
And I haven't come all this way
to be humiliated and waste my time.

54
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Please, Mr. Melville.

55
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,880
He won't talk about the Essex to me.

56
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,770
To anyone. Never has. Never.

57
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,600
There's an agony about him.

58
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,800
His soul is in torment,

59
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200
and in need of confession.

60
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:01,080
Please, just let me talk to him.

61
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,480
Please.

62
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,240
Love.

63
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,040
I believe it would do you good
to talk to the man.

64
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,280
No.

65
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,760
You listen well.

66
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Who holds this place together
while you drink yourself to death?

67
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,320
You will talk with this man

68
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880
as much as is necessary to keep the money.

69
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
You know our circumstances, Thomas.

70
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,120
Only as much as is necessary.

71
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,250
I'll get whiskey.

72
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,880
MELVILLE: I neglected to mention it
in my letter,

73
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,680
but I was a whaler once.

74
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,800
One trip, I mean.

75
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Green hand.

76
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,840
So, you've seen it all.

77
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,800
My wife read your books.

78
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,960
She enjoyed them.

79
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,280
I'm happy to hear it.

80
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,040
I've had good sales.

81
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,210
And I think this story
could surpass the success

82
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,800
of even my first novel,
which did quite well.

83
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Another of your seafaring yarns?

84
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,200
Have you read Hawthorne, Mr. Melville?

85
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Now there's a writer.

86
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,010
Great writer.

87
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,360
He is.

88
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,690
But he is not here. And I am.

89
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,120
For my own particular reasons.

90
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,800
I will tell you of the Essex.

91
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,560
I believe you will be disappointed.

92
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,640
But every word I say will be true.

93
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,240
Story of the Essex
is the story of two men.

94
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,890
Captain George Pollard and his first mate,

95
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Owen Chase.

96
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,720
- Owen. You don't wanna be late.
- (HAMMERING)

97
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,640
I'll be there.

98
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Besides, can't have our daughter
sleeping under a leaky roof, can we?

99
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080
What makes you so sure it's a girl?

100
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,120
Well, it has to be.

101
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,560
So she can remind me

102
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600
why I still love you
when you're being stubborn.

103
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,690
Well, if it's to be a daughter,
she'll be a version of you, not me.

104
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,730
Blond locks and determined
to conquer the world.

105
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,320
I suppose after today,

106
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,130
you'll be trading in
that tunic for a uniform.

107
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,400
That's right.

108
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Finally out of this patch of dirt,

109
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,000
into a captain's house like you deserve.

110
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600
PEGGY: I don't need one of those houses
in town with stuffy neighbors.

111
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,640
There's plenty of room here
for the three of us.

112
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080
You know, sometimes your kind heart
and good nature

113
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
- is just unbearable.
- (GIGGLES)

114
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,320
Go get your captaincy.

I do hope you realize how satisfied we are

with the work you've done for us
over the years.

139

Thank you, sir.

00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,920
Now, one of our ships, the Essex,

141
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,000
has just been refitted at great expense

142
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,200
and is to go to sea.

143
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Now, having made
such an investment in her,

144
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,680
we want to be sure
she's in the best possible hands.

145
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,680
So, it gives us great pleasure
to offer you a position aboard her.

Mmm-hmm.

149
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,760
Mr. Mason, you promised me
command of a ship after my last voyage

150
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,200
when I brought you back 1,500 barrels.

151
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Do you remember?
You gave me your word.

152
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,720
That promise must now be deferred.

153
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,800
Like everyone else,
we've had a lean time recently.

154
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,080
No, never on my watch.

155
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,040
Nantucket now dominates the world market.

156
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800
That must not change.

157
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,610
This is no time for experimentation.

158
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,480
The Essex will be captained
by George Pollard,

159
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,730
scion of a great whaling family.

160
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,560
His father also happens to be our patron.

161
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,000
MASON: Blood, Mr. Chase.

162
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,680
You can have all the voyages
under your belt you want,

163
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,490
but blood will always win out.

164
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,650
Yes, well, blood is not gonna fill
a ship with oil, Mr. Mason.

165
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720
To successfully command,
a captain needs respect.

166
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Now, what if the men don't respect him?

167
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,720
You will make sure that they do.

168
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040
Ah, good day, gentlemen.

169
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,640

170
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,000
so, a one-fifteenth lay.

171
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,370
That's more than
I've ever paid any first officer.

172
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640
And if you bring back
2,000 barrels of oil,

173
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,760
I give you my word,

174
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,320
next time, you will have your captaincy.

175
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,210
You've given me
your word before, Mr. Mason.

00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Captain Pollard.

179
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,480
We've just had a most
agreeable conversation with Mr. Chase.

180
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,160
He'll be honored to serve under you.

181
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,840
I'm glad to hear it.

182
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,520
Now I'm to babysit a greenhorn.

183
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,450
Some chinless Nantucketer

184
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,920
born with a damn silver spoon
in his mouth.

185
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,200
You know, I should've thrown
the offer back in their faces.

186
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Why? You now have
the offer of command in writing.

187
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Yes, well, a liar's word is worthless,

188
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,760
even on paper.

189
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,970
You know, I'd love you just as much
if you were a merchant captain.

190
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,600
And you wouldn't be gone for two years.

191
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,000
I won't be gone two years.

192
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,840
A Bedford whaler came back
last week who was gone three.

193
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,480
She lost two men
and still with her hull half empty.

194
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,760
Yeah, well, they were from Bedford,

195
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,240
and they didn't have me on board.

196
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,930
Son of a bitch!

197
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,360
I will captain my own ship!

198
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,730
A whaling ship.

199
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,880
Up to them, all we'd ever have
is this patch of dirt,

200
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,440
and that's not gonna happen, Peggy.

201
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,400
Those are your father's words, not yours.

202
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,520
What's wrong with his words?

203
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,320
He wanted things
for his family, for himself.

204
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:17,840
He was a dreamer, Owen.

205
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Yes, he was.

206
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Dreamed of the sea
and never got to sail it

207
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,320
because of men like them.

208
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,480
At least he got to see his children born.

209
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,010
It's all I know.

210
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,290
I'm sorry.

211
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,360
I married a whaleman.

212
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Hey.

213
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,450
I'll come back as quick
as a summer's night, I swear.

214
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Just come back.

215
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Promise me.

216
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:18,450
I already swore to you.
Now you want me to promise, too?

217
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,600
I promise.

218
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,840
POLLARD SR.: Son, a word With you.

219
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,170
To be a captain, you cannot be a friend.

220
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,480
You are their superior.

221
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,600
Never forget that.
Never let them forget that.

222
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Thank you, sir.

223
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Your great-grandfather and a few others
created this industry.

224
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Without us, without you,
the world plunges into darkness.

that they may return safely
and with a full ship,

236
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,200
so that the white flames
of Nantucket whale oil

237

may continue to keep light in our homes,

In your name, we pray.

- So, what month was this?
- Late in the year.

244
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,320
We were one of the last ships to go out,

245
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,560
which is why my friend
Barzillai and I got a berth.

246
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,400
You know, I was 14.

247

around, boy. Move!

NICKERSON: First time to sea.
Scared, but more scared to show it.

250
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,770
Barzillai was 17.

they're wearing?

They're whale pins, Thomas.

How do I get one of them?

SAILOR 1: Mr. Joy,
this is only half my order!

Put them over the ground tier casks.

266

Well, well, you being on board
means only one thing.

267
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,640
Yeah, at least there's
one person on this ship

268
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,280
who knows the truth about Owen Chase.

269

No, that all the other ships
have already crewed up.

- Dry as sand.

Ah, serene as the church.

I'll believe that when I see it.

278
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,640

That's an off-island name, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

285
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,840
And very shortly, we will be
off-island for some time,

286
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,360

POLLARD: Must say I was surprised.

288
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,280
Normally, a captain gets
to choose his first mate.

To return to port
without a single barrel of oil

582
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,360
would be a mistake, sir.

583
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,560
And not behoove a man
whose name is Pollard.

01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,680
Sweetness is the power of his grace.

1231
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,000
With longing eyes,

1232
01:27:39,440 --> 01:27:42,410
thy creatures await on thee
for daily food.

1233
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:45,920
NICKERSON: (SOFTLY) My soul is dead.

1234
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:01,880
So it was decided.

1235
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:10,720
We prepared the body.

1236
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:15,760
We removed the organs.

1237
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,250
Separated his limbs from his body

1238
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,490
and cut all the flesh from the bones.

1239
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:31,240
After which,

1240
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,160
we closed the body

1241
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:36,720
and we sewed it up

1242
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,720
as decently as we could

1243
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,560
and committed it to the sea.

1244
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:46,440
We ate the heart first.

1245
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:50,930
(SIGHS)

1246
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:56,490
You judge me.

1247
01:28:58,760 --> 01:28:59,800
No.

1248

(SIGHS)

1249
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:07,440
There.

1250
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:09,480
There.

1251
01:29:10,440 --> 01:29:11,770
It is done.

1252
01:29:14,440 --> 01:29:15,770
It is out.

1253
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,200
And you've never told anyone?

1254
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:22,800
No.

1255
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:25,800
Not even your wife?

1256
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,520
Do you think she could ever love me

1257
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,800
if she knew the abominations
I had committed?

1258
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:34,880
MRS. NICKERSON: Yes. She would.

1259
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,800
And if you had told me
the story when we met,

1260
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,330
I would still wear your ring today.

1261
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,040
The strength of that boy

1262
01:29:47,480 --> 01:29:49,320
still lives in you.

1263
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:52,400
I see that.

1264
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,240
Even if you don't.

1265
01:30:16,480 --> 01:30:19,520
You can finish your story now, my love.

1266
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:26,890

1268
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:36,640
Hey, sit up.

1269
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:41,440
Listen,

1270
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,080
put your head back.

(COUGHING)

1272
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,920
Look, we still got
a few drops of water left.

1273
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,410
Don't you quit on me.
We're going home.

1274
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:01,920
Do you have a family back home, Mr. Chase?

1275
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:03,800
Yeah, I have a wife.

1276
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:09,440
Yes, and a son or a daughter.

1277

(SIGHS)

1278
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:55,920
Very well.

1279
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,160
- Captain.
- We will draw again.

1280
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,040
We will do no such thing.

1281
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:04,240
We'll draw again.

1282
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:06,520
POLLARD: Mr. Ramsdell,

1283
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:08,960
you will assume command of this vessel.

1284
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:13,080
Cousin, will you?

1285
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:15,920
You're our...

1286
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,360
You're our captain.
The men need you.

1287
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:21,640
The men will be fine.

1288
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,040
Please.

1289
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,160
Please. Please.

1290
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,370
- Henry.
- (CRYING) Let us draw again.

1291
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:30,850
It is an order.

1292
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,170
If you cannot do it,

1293
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,160
pass the pistol to another man.

1294
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:51,160
(GUN COCKING)

1295
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:05,720
Henry, no, no, no!

MR. COLE: You gotta help me, kid.
You gotta help me.

1297
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:23,560
NICKERSON:
We were weeks in the doldrums.

1298
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,400
That part of the Pacific
is more desert than ocean.

1299
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:29,560
The sun beating down.

1300
01:33:30,480 --> 01:33:31,600
My fear.

1301
01:33:33,480 --> 01:33:35,000
All I could think about

1302
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,280
was that everyone would die,

1303
01:33:38,440 --> 01:33:40,160
and I'd be the last left alive.

1304
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,520
And as best Mr. Chase could tell,
we were still 800 miles from land.

1305
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:49,200
(THUDDING)

1306
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,210
POLLARD: Mr. Chase.

1307
01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:01,040
Ah.

1308
01:34:01,480 --> 01:34:02,840
Captain Pollard.

1309
01:34:05,480 --> 01:34:06,890
I am happy to see you.

1310
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,320
Been very little happiness
in our survival.

1311
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,000
Or in ours, sir.

1312
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:16,760
POLLARD: Barzillai?

1313
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,130
The third boat?

1314
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:23,240
MR. CHASE: They've, uh...

1315
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:26,450
They've been gone for days.

1316
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:28,960
I'm afraid they're lost, sir.

POLLARD: Mr. Chase,
you have the best position.

1319
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:19,130
It's just a whale.

01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:24,480
He's there! Throw the lance!

1321
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:26,640
Throw it!

1322
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:34,680
- Throw it! Throw the lance!
- Come on.

1323
01:35:45,480 --> 01:35:47,080
Throw it!

1324
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:48,600
Come on.

NICKERSON: Currents drew us apart

1331
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,160
and that was the last we would see
of Captain Pollard's whale boat.

1332

Mr. Chase, look.

1347

NICKERSON: We were rescued there,

1348
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,680
off the island of Más Afuera, Chile,

1349
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:31,570
90 days after the sinking of the Essex.

1350
01:40:33,440 --> 01:40:35,280
They gave us some old clothes.

1351
01:40:35,440 --> 01:40:36,850
Fed us, too.

1352
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:40,400
It was hard to eat at first.

1353
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:41,800
Strange.

1354
01:40:43,480 --> 01:40:45,400
They looked after us as best they could

1355
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,840
till we found a ship
that would carry us home.

1356
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,240
That voyage took another three months.

1357
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:04,000
It looked like the whole island
turned out to see us return.

1358
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:07,120
But there were no cheers.

1359
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:09,440
Only silence.

1360
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:14,360
They looked at us like
we were apparitions,

1361
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:16,730
phantoms.

1362
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:22,000
We'd said nothing of the details
of our survival to anyone,

1363
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:25,200
but I wondered if they somehow
knew of our privations.

1364
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:28,690
Maybe they were just curious.

1365
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:09,720

01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:42,570
Phoebe Ann Chase, huh?

01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,320
This is Daddy.

1375
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:48,560
Hey, sweetie.

1376
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:55,360

Oh, my God.

1378
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,760
NICKERSON: Of course,
they couldn't leave him alone.

1379
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,320
Mr. Chase and his wife had
scarcely walked a block towards home

1380
01:43:18,480 --> 01:43:21,760
when he was stopped and
made to return to the Maritime office.

1381
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,050
There were business matters
still in question.

1382
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:41,240
So, to the matter.

1383
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,360
Due to the significant loss of life
and property on our voyage,

1384
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:51,840
it seems there will be an inquiry.

1385
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,080
And as captain and first mate,

1386
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,200
we will be expected to give an account

1387
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:57,640
of what happened.

1388
01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,080
Yes, of course.

1389
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:03,640
And having discussed this
with the ship owners and my father,

1390
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:08,520
it is clear that full disclosure
will have ramifications.

1391
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:11,480
Terrible ramifications
for the whole industry.

1392
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,160
That a whale brought down the Essex.

1393
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:17,800
But it's the truth.

1394
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:27,960
If the insurance houses and investors

1395
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:32,960
were to start worrying
about sea monsters sinking ships,

1396
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,360
sailors drawing lots to survive...

1397
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:38,690
We are in the oil business.

1398
01:44:39,440 --> 01:44:40,640
All of us.

1399
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:42,480
And as in any business,

1400
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:46,200
the probability of success must
always be greater than the risk incurred.

1401
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:50,800
So, what are you suggesting, George?

1402
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,040
That you say the ship ran aground.

1403
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:55,200
That's a lie.

1404
01:44:55,440 --> 01:44:58,560
- And that the men that died, drowned.
- And that's another lie.

1405
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:00,120
Think on it. They will make you captain.

1406
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,400
Well, that pledge I already have
in writing.

1407
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:06,040
Only on the condition
you bring home a ship full of oil.

1408
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:09,280
This way, it's guaranteed.

1409
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,440
FULLER: You would be a wealthy man.

1410
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:14,960
The name Chase need
no longer be a landsman's name,

1411
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:16,400
but an established name

1412
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,290
that belongs among the great families
of Nantucket.

1413
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:22,960
You want me to whitewash
what happened for profit?

1414
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,680
We are asking you to be pragmatic.

1415
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,760
The Essex was stove by a white whale.

1416
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,920
And those of us that survived
in ill-equipped whaleboats

1417
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:52,050
had to commit abominations
in order to survive.

1418
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,960
And, on our return,
we're expected to spread barefaced lies

1419
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:00,240
so that you,
the ship owners of Nantucket,

1420
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:04,200
might line your pockets
and sleep well at night?

1421
01:46:05,440 --> 01:46:07,440
Well, I will not embroider the truth.

1422
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,440
Nor should you, George.

1423
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,320
NICKERSON: That last time I saw him...

1424
01:46:32,480 --> 01:46:33,720
Mr. Chase, sir!

1425
01:46:34,480 --> 01:46:37,240
I couldn't find the right words
to say what I wanted to.

1426
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:39,320
Thomas.

1427
01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:42,440
NICKERSON: Perhaps there are no words.

1428
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:43,800
Um...

1429
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:48,480
I'm gonna be on my way to Falmouth and...

1430
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:52,400
It's...

1431
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:56,960
It's been an honor, sir,
to sail with you.

1432
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,040
The honor's been mine, Mr. Nickerson.

1433
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:21,360
Here.

1434
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:28,560
Good luck out there, Thomas.

1435
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:31,520
And you, sir.

1436
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:03,530
Next day, George Pollard was called
before the inquiry.

1437
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,320
(CROWD MURMURING)

1438
01:48:08,440 --> 01:48:10,080
MASON: Gentlemen, Captain George Pollard.

1439
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,760
NICKERSON: And all the important men
in Nantucket were there.

1440
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:16,520
It was a formality.

1441
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,840
Good day to you, Captain.
Please sit down.

1442
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:27,120
For the record, then...

1443
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,080
The Essex was stove by a white whale

1444
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,600
1,200 leagues west of Ecuador.

1445
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:37,880
It was as if Owen Chase himself
had spoken.

1446
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:41,280
Told them the truth.

1447
01:48:45,440 --> 01:48:47,560
Captain Pollard's conscience was clear.

1448
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:50,280
But the inquiry was a sham.

1449
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:54,200
Pollard went out again,

1450
01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,160
looking for the white whale.

1451
01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:01,120
He never found it.

1452
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:05,040
He ran a second ship aground off Hawaii.

1453
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:07,800
Twice cursed.

1454
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:10,680
Never sailed again.

1455
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:12,320
And Owen Chase?

1456
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,000
He was a man of his word.

1457
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,120
First, he sent a boat back
to Ducie Island.

1458
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,050
Mr. Joy had passed.

1459
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:25,960
But the other three were,
incredibly, still alive.

1460
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:30,200
And then?

1461
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,480
And then he packed up his family
and moved to New Bedford.

1462
01:49:36,480 --> 01:49:38,000
Started over.

1463
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:40,250
Became a merchant captain,

1464
01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,160
sailing on his own terms.

1465
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,720
Well, you certainly got your
money's worth, Mr. Melville.

1466
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,760
These February nights
are the longest of the year.

1467
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:00,840
Well, you can both rest now.

1468
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:02,410
Believe me,

1469
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:04,680
I shall not be resting for some time.

1470
01:50:05,480 --> 01:50:06,680
NICKERSON: Why?

1471
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:09,280
You got your story.

1472
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,360
You know, your plot. It's all there.

1473
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:16,160
Maybe it wasn't a plot I was after.

1474
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:18,530
No. What, then?

1475
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,840
- Something else you've given me tonight.
- And what's that?

1476
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:27,810
The courage to go where
one does not want to go.

1477
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:31,400
Mr. Melville,

1478
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:34,560
what you've heard, what I've told you,

1479
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:41,720
will it all be of service to your book?

1480
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,480
It will be a work of fiction,
Mr. Nickerson,

1481
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:49,450
inspired by truth.

1482
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:54,240
But I don't believe
I'll feel the need to use all of it.

1483
01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:05,280
- Thank you.
- Here.

1484
01:51:05,440 --> 01:51:08,760
- Take that with you.
- No. The money is for you. I insist.

1485
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:11,600
I insist you keep it.

1486
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:15,520
And I insist one person
in this conversation is sober.

1487
01:51:26,440 --> 01:51:29,090
- So it's back to, uh...
- Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

1488
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:31,490
Well, good luck.

1489
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:34,440
Thank you.

1490
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:39,280
You know,

1491
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,520
I heard a man from Pennsylvania
drilled a hole in the ground recently

1492
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:46,120
and found oil.

1493
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:47,960
That can't be true.

1494
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:49,920
I heard it, too.

1495
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:54,120
Oil from the ground.

1496
01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:57,890
Fancy that.
