00:00Only those who have been at sea truly grasp the enormity of this world.
00:10It is a frightening thing, and yet we hurl ourselves into the vacant spaces of this profound
00:16earth, knowing one day a great price may be demanded of us.
00:29Mr. Munro, welcome to Epworth.
00:32I don't know exactly St. Paul's, but you'll make something of it.
00:37I shall do my best.
00:39I've not seen you at Chapel, nor will you, for thousands of miles from civilization,
00:47surrounded by savages of the most barbaric kind.
00:50There are reports of a warlord out there.
00:53Would that be Akataro?
00:55You know of him?
00:57I have encountered him personally.
01:00What do you want?
01:03I ask that you spare the lives of these people.
01:05Choose.
01:06I cannot make that choice.
01:10Very well.
01:12I have a young woman in my care, a young Maori woman.
01:20What's she doing here?
01:21She was wounded.
01:22Tuho, Matua kai kone koe?
01:29Kare kore kua rangona e ia.
01:33It's her father.
01:36Kawaia raana ki te utu o tōku whare.

01:47I tēnei wā kātou.

02:02I tēnei wā kātou.
02:05I tēnei wā kātou.
02:08I tēnei wā kātou.
02:11I tēnei wā kātou.
02:15This is a violent land.
02:18Steeped in blood.
02:22You have responsibilities to this community.
02:24When will you return?
02:26There's no such thing.
02:37Revenge.
02:38Death.
02:39Go hand in hand.
02:41You fight or you die.
02:44We die as warriors.
