Look how far you've traveled. - Look how far you've traveled. I'm not shocked to meet you. - You're rude. - Us Americans are renowned for our lack of manners. - True. Do you drink champagne? - When I'm celebrating - And whiskey when you're down. - Whiskey when I'm down - Here's to something worth celebrating. May it find you soon, sir. (glasses clink) - Huzzah. Hmm. I like your style, sir. (Spencer exhales) - What is this question you've been sent to ask me? - [Alex] I don't have to ask it now. I know the answer. You're a hunter. (Jazzy music playing) Which reserve? - I don't guide hunters. I work for the protectorate. (Alex laughs) (women laughing and talking over each other) - I can't understand anything you're saying. - You're Spencer Dutton, the American war hero who hunts the man-eaters. You killed the man-eater of the Kalahari! The man-eater of Sabi! The man-eaters of Tsavo! - I was five when they killed the man-eaters of Tsavo. - You'll never convince her that. - And you just killed the man-eating leopards of Mount Suswa - You're famous, in case you were unaware. - I was unaware (women giggling) - Well, you are. It's said you killed one with your bare hands. - Believe everything you hear? - Only when I want it to be true. - Why would you want that to be true? - For the romance of it. (birds chirping) - There's no romance in it. - Then why do you do it? (background crowd noises) - Because dying is the most alive you'll ever feel. - You don't see the romance in that? (music starts to play) - And that's quite enough. She's engaged. Sir. Good day to you. - Alexandra, come along now. Hurry. Hurry. This way. (dramatic music) (background talking) (footsteps advancing) - You're just like the wildlife here. Migrating from watering hole to watering hole. (diners talking) - I'd be easy to ambush. - I suppose I'll see you at the bar in the breakfast hall in the morning. - I'll be gone in the morning. - Where does the next adventure take you? - East. Where does it take you? - I'm afraid all my adventures are over. - That's a shame. (Alex breathing deeply) - I agree. (Alex laughing sadly) Perhaps you'd whisk me away on yours. - You wouldn't like mine. (footsteps approaching) - Don't bet on it. (car running) (piano music) (crowd talking and laughing) (music) (people talking and laughing) - [Arthur] Alexandra! (exciting music) (car running) (feet running) - Stop the car. (engine slows down and stops) (Alex breathing heavily) - Got room for another? - No, not really. - My knight in shining armor. (luggage hitting seat) (door slams) - Alexandra! - Please drive. (Alex breathing heavily) Look at me. (Alex breathing) If you don't want me to come, I'll get out. - Where I'm going is dangerous. - Let's look death in the eye then, shall we? (Spencer exhaling) - I wanna ask you something. - Ask away. - I've been giving it a lot of thought. - This sounds ominous. - Alexandra's just too long. Just in general. - You don't like my name? - It's beautiful. It's just if I need to yell at you or something. - Why would you need to yell at me? - Not at you. But in your direction. Like if there's a, you know if there's a lion or something. I say, Alexandra, look out, there's a lion, it's - If there's a lion, don't even use my name. Just say lion. - It's just a mouth full, is the deal, and I was just hoping I could call you Alex. - Then call me Alex. - Good deal. I'm glad we worked that out. - Um hm. - Well, if it was that hard to ask about a nickname, I won't hold my breath for a proposal. - Proposal? - I must say, you appeared much smarter at the bar. A marriage proposal. (Alex chuckling) I won't hold my breath. - Hell, I'll ask you that right now. (Alex laughs) I mean it. - I think this affair might need to mature beyond a day. - Why? What for? Are you worried there's things about me you might not like? I can promise you there's plenty. - I didn't hear a question. - Marry me. - That's a statement. - It's a demand. - You Americans are brutes. - Yes, ma'am. (romantic music) (passionate breathing) - I'll marry you. (dramatic music) (car running) - I looked death in the eye and I didn't feel alive, Spencer. I only felt horror. - But you felt. I never said it was gonna be fun. I just said you'd feel. - I don't want to feel like that. (car squeaking) Do you understand me? I don't ever want to feel like that again. - For a long time, that was the only way I could feel. Until I met you. And I don't ever want to feel that way again either. - It's settled then. Tomorrow you'll find a new job. - Honey, that wasn't my job. That was just you and me taking a drive in the country. - Perhaps I should alter my perspective. The price of making love under the sun twice a day is being attacked by a pride of lions. - Three times. (car running) Day's not over yet. (driver clearing throat) - I, I feel I should point out that I can hear every word you both say. - Then you understand why I'm asking you to drive faster? (romantic music) (Alex and Spencer kissing) - Or just have sex in the back of my auto. Why not. - Promise me. (romantic music) It will always be this. Always an adventure. - It'll never be dull. I can promise you that. - Even when we're old and frail, and all the ravaging is behind us, what then? - Wheelchair racing. (Alex laughs) - Challenge accepted, sir. - Alex. - Spencer. - Shut up. (Alex laughs) - Oh, my apologies. I have interrupted your ravaging. Please carry on. - Darling. Stop talking. Okay? - Call me that again. Call me darling. (Alex laughs) - Darling. - Okay. I'll stop talking. (romantic music) (dramatic music) - Did you plan on leaving a note? - It's on the dresser. - What does it say? - It says that this trip's too dangerous. Envelope has money so you can book passage back to London. Says I'll send for you when it's safe. - Says a lot. There is no sending for me, Spencer. We have a life together. Or we live our lives apart. Can you do that? Can you live your life without me? (Spencer inhaling deeply) You only get to choose me once. The choice will not be offered again. (dramatic music) - Get your things. (boat hums) - What's your dream? - I don't dream. - Everyone has a dream. I have plenty. - I can take some of yours then. - I mean it. Tell me. You're my husband now, sworn to tell me everything. - I don't remember that vow. (Alex laughs) - It's in there. Right between your vow to honor and obey me. - I think you got all that shit backwards. - You weren't listening. You must tell me everything. Honor me. And obey me. You are at risk of breaking all three vows on our wedding night. Something else you didn't dare mention prior to bedding me. - I'll tell you one. I'll tell you a dream. In my heart I know it was wrong to take you. Everything that happened up to now was a sign. A warning. Elephant. The lions, the shipwreck. There's all the universe telling me to put you back. I'm just too fucking selfish to do it. My dream (Alex laughing softly) my dream is that the universe is wrong. And you're mine to keep. - The universe has absolutely no say whatsoever. I'm following you wherever you go whether you like it or not. Choose another dream. This one's already come true. - It's far from coming true. - There is no putting me back. We are one now. When the sun hits your face, I'm your shadow. When it finds my back, you are mine. I go where you go. Even if it's the death of me. (music rising) (ship humming) - I think we've turned into it now. It'll smooth out. - North Atlantic wasn't this rough. - It's just a swell. It'll be over soon. - [Spencer] See? (Alex laughing weakly) - Thank the heavens. - Alexandra! (Alex sighing) - You're mad! (Alex and Jennifer laughing) Absolutely mad! Completely understandable. But mad nonetheless. - How angry are my parents? - Angry enough to leave that day. _ For London? - And all the bridesmaids. - All but one. - I didn't see how me missing safari would help Arthur's broken heart. - His heart isn't broken. Only his pride. - I'd say all of him is broken. He didn't leave camp once. Barely left his tent. May we have a moment alone, sir? That boy's destroyed. His family's furious! - I don't love him. (shipboard chattering) That's love. - That's lust. He's a hunter, Alexandra. And when the chase is done, he will find something else to hunt. - The chase is done. (Jennifer gasping) - Alexandra, you must think of your family and your standing! - The only family I'm thinking of is the one I'm starting. - All of London will turn its back to you, Alexandra. - They won't get the chance. Anything else? - I hold no judgment Alexandra. My only wish for you is happiness. (footsteps receding) - Your wish came true. - Then I'm happy for you. - Me too. (travelers talking) (Big Band music) ♪ Now I can read his letters ♪ ♪ I just can't read his mind ♪ ♪ I thought he's loving me, ♪ ♪ he's leaving all the time ♪ - Arthur. Arthur. Arthur. (Arthur slapping Spencer) - I challenge you. (Spencer kicking) - Arthur enough! This is not the place for it! You have no wits about you! - He knew of my engagement! He has defiled my honor. You are challenged, sir! Choose your weapon. - This your son? - He is. - I kill for a living. You do not want him to fight me. - No, I do not. - Then control him. (footsteps going) (Arthur scuffling) (woman gasping) - Arthur! - You defile my honor and then you abandon yours? You are no gentleman, sir. You are no gentleman. (many footsteps approaching) Go. Go. Run away with your whore. Run away with your fucking whore! (Spencer breathing deeply) - Please don't. (footsteps approaching) (fist pounding) (Arthur falling, coughing) - Challenge accepted. (Arthur sniffing) - Choose your weapon. - You choose. I could care less - To the deck. (ominous music) - Arthur! Arthur, no! Arthur! (footsteps retreating) - Arthur! - Well, what a lovely mess you've made of my family. And what an embarrassment you've become to yours. (ominous music) (swords clashing) (fist hitting) (women gasping) (sword clattering) (Arthur grunting) - Spencer! - Mm! Arg! (Swords clashing) (men fighting) (Arthur grunting) (fist hitting) (women moaning and crying) (fist hitting repeatedly) (women moaning) (Spencer walking) (Arthur moaning) (metal clashing) - Enough, son! - I did not yield. I did not yield to you. I do not yield, you Yankee scum! I did not yield! (crowd yelling) (Arthur screams) - Arthur! - Man overboard! (woman moaning) (horn blowing) - Make ready the lifeboat! (bell ringing) - Take this man to the brig. - To duel is illegal, sir. - I didn't choose it. - Arthur pulled a pistol. They saw, they all saw! - Who will speak on his behalf. (somber music) - To the brig with you, sir. (Spencer struggling and yelling) - My husband threw down his sword. Arthur pulled a pistol on an unarmed man. - Says you. - Yes, says me. On my honor I say it! - Honor! You dare to speak that word in front of me? What honor do you have? Where is the honor in your actions? Captain? I demand this woman be remanded to her quarters till the ship reaches port in London. (Alex breathing heavily) - You say you are my friend. Prove it now. Tell them the truth. Tell them what you saw. Please. Please. (Alex sobbing) - She speaks the truth. Arthur refused to yield even after Spencer had withdrawn. - Stop speaking! I will not hear of it! Remand her to her quarters, sir! Or do you forget my title? - Take the lady to her quarters. (dramatic music) (exciting music) (footsteps entering) - It seems your claim of self-defense has merit. - I didn't wanna fight him. Damn sure didn't want to kill him. He gave me no other choice. - That's been made clear. I'll not notify authorities at your port of call. But this ship sails under a British flag. And a prince in succession has ordered you removed from the vessel. - That's fine by me. - We will dinghy you to port. - I need my wife. - Your wife. You mean the Countess of Sussex? - Yes. That's who you mean. - You have any proof of this marriage? - I have a ring and I have my word. - The Earl of Sussex has called into question the legality of the marriage. - We were married on a ship in international waters. By the ship's captain. Do you question your authority to oversee marriages? - I do not. But the limits of my authority are met when a member of the royal family commands me to remove a passenger from one of the King's ships and detain another. I suggest you send for her in London. - I'm not leaving without her. - It's not your decision to make. (chair bumping) - If you'll excuse me. - Of course (chair sliding) (Alex breathing hard) (somber music) (Alex gasping) (somber music) (Alex running) (Alex running, breathing hard) (oars rowing) (somber music) (satchel falling) - Spencer! Spencer! - Alex? Alex! - I will come to you! Where do I go? - You have to take me back. That's my wife. You have no right! - You have no right! - Where do I go? - I love you, Alex! - Why did you do this to me? (hand slapping) (grunts) Why? Why? (Alex fighting and crying) (heads butting) (sailors hitting) (men fighting) - Stay there! (Alex sobbing) - Bozeman! I will meet you in Bozeman, Montana! I love you. - I love you, Alex! (water hitting boat) - I love you! (Alex crying, dropping to deck) (music fades out)
We think you’ll love these
