The Bounty1984
Captain Greetham:
[after learning at the trial that Bligh told King Tynah that Captain Cook is still alive] You told that to this man Tynah?
Bligh:
King Tynah, sir.
Admiral Hood:
A savage king.
Bligh:
A king, milord, descended from many kings.
Admiral Hood:
As our King George is descended from many kings?
Bligh:
Yes, in a way, sir.
Captain Greetham:
Then why did you lie to him? Why did you not tell him Captain Cook was murdered in Hawaii ten years before?
Bligh:
Because they believe that Captain Cook is immortal.
Admiral Hood:
Literally?
Bligh:
Yes, I think so, sir. They seem to regard his likeness as a sacred image.
Admiral Hood:
Interesting.
Bligh:
They also believe that every British officer is more or less related to him.
Admiral Hood:
So you were more or less immortal too.
Bligh:
It would appear so, sir. And I also needed their assistance. Captain Cook was our guarantor.
