Dealing with the subtitles and closed captioning for Scenes 101 & 102:
After Gabriel says that Charles has been with "her" again, Charles says, "What's wrong with you, brother? Don't you remember? Your wife is dead." - and both the subtitles and the closed captioning get the first two parts correctly - but for some reason for the third part the subtitles have -
- whereas the closed captioning also get it correctly.

And when it comes to Scene 102, the closed captioning acknowledges that Gabriel bursts out in unscripted hysterical laughter as the door is closed on Charles -
- however, the subtitles do not - and once again there's a rather strange interpretation in both the closed captioning and the subtitles when it comes to the end of the scene because Gabriel actually shouts an unscripted "Kill Dubloon," and that's Charles horse (and we've discussed how insanely vindictive Gabriel is to have ordered that!), but the closed captioning has -
- which does sound somewhat like what's actually said, but the really strange interpretation comes with the subtitles, which also sounds somewhat like what's actually said -
- but both? Who in heaven's name would "both" refer to?! But I suppose whoever did the subtitles didn't ask themselves that question.
