                    [Summary] => The second time British Naval Capt. Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) brings friend and ship’s doctor Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany) to the Galapagos Islands – on a detour from their mission to track down the French warship Acheron – the amateur naturalist says he doesn’t know how to thank him. "Nonsense," replies Aubrey. "Just name a shrub after me. Something prickly and difficult to eradicate."
