ONE:
CALLOW, BURLEY, and FARROW’S GUNS, all splashing into the river.
NO COPY.
TWO:
DRUM is moving forward, for PAYNE, as DRAKE speaks. DRUM is slinging his RIFLE as he goes.
WEST is still covering the group.
1. DRAKE: Darius Payne, I am arresting you for murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, corrupting a public official, bribery…
THREE:
DRUM is putting IRONS on PAYNE’S wrists.
PAYNE has clenched his jaw, glaring.
2. DRAKE/off: …and a host of other charges of which I am certain you are acquainted.
3. PAYNE: I have powerful friends, Marshal.
FOUR:
DRUM has pushed PAYNE towards DRAKE. DRAKE is non-plussed.
4. DRAKE: Not as many as you once did, I think.
5. DRAKE: I hear tell the Smoke doesn’t cotton much to failure.
Oh, good. They’ll hold on to him until Her Ladyship tidies up and has time to deal with him herself.
Should he live that long…
Miles has his gun cocked – ready for anything!
Drake is nonplussed…?
What is bewildering him here?
North American colloquial meaning. Language in flux! The script, though we provide it here, is meant to get across the narrative ideas to Rick.
Sort of like unflapped in English, I suppose?
Or “whelmed” in Young Justicese.
Would that there was a “like” button…
Ha, glad somebody got it.
A good way to start the day: seeing that two-legged rat Payne getting arrested by Drake.
What will happen to Farrow? Will he go free or did Drake and Drum overhear him threatening to murder Payne?
In the typical jurisprudence of the level of civilisation depicted here — more or less corresponding to that of Western Europe and the Colonies of the 19th century — is merely threatening to commit violence upon somebody in the way that Farrow does actually considered a crime?
What I am wondering is, with what authority is Drake arresting Payne? Isn’t he just a tad outside of his jurisdiction, here?
He threatened to kill Payne. I think that might not count as a crime, but more of performing one’s civic duty and garbage disposal.
Besides, he’s got to let somebody go to tell smoke about the loss of the map and the “demise” of Lady Sabre or else this whole charade would have been for nothing.
Unless the map actually was destroyed. Her Ladyship didn’t exactly dismiss Drake’s opinion that the map was too dangerous for any one person to have.
Thing is — the map is too powerful a tool for any single power to be allowed to possess.
However, it also contains valuable information that could potentially save countless lives. I therefore sincerely doubt that Her Ladyship would allow it to go to waste just like that.
Beside the fact that we in an earlier episode saw her give it to West before he left the ship. Whatever else, we thus KNOW the map wasn’t destroyed — it was no longer on board.
What had Sabre ordered West to do with the map, then?
Have multiple copies made of it, is my bet. So that not any ONE single power gets it, but so that EVERYONE does.
Drake is a man of few words, but he makes those words count 😀
