1
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:11,176
Dobbs assaulted him,
and he believes him responsible

2
00:00:11,344 --> 00:00:13,345
for choosing the men
to be interrogated by them.

3
00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:14,596
But it's been sorted.

4
00:00:14,764 --> 00:00:16,390
I had three men hold him down

5
00:00:16,558 --> 00:00:18,100
while Dooley and Wayne
administered a beating.

6
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:21,520
The governor in Nassau
hanged a pirate in the square.

7
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:24,273
The pirate was Charles Vane.

8
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:26,608
What do you want to do about it?

9
00:00:26,776 --> 00:00:29,361
He knew it was
the only way to start it.

10
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,238
Start what?

11
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:34,158
The resistance in Nassau
is now under way.

12
00:00:34,325 --> 00:00:36,243
- How long before their force arrives?
- A week.

13
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:39,163
Then we have much preparation to do
and little time to do it.

14
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:42,166
Captain Hornigold
will be sailing in consort with you.

15
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:43,959
I know this enemy.

16
00:00:44,127 --> 00:00:45,377
He took that cache
with the express purpose

17
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:47,296
of compelling us
to commit your force

18
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:48,881
to a battlefield of his choosing.

19
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:51,550
If you allow him to dictate
the terms of battle,

20
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:54,011
you court a disastrous outcome.

21
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:51,044
You sure this is wise?

22
00:02:54,048 --> 00:02:56,049
At the end of the day,
secrets among friends

23
00:02:56,217 --> 00:02:58,427
are the source of all good things
gone wrong.

24
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:02,181
Is that what we are now?

25
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:05,184
Friends?

26
00:03:06,603 --> 00:03:08,020
He wasn't talking about you.

27
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:12,357
He's talking about
our hostess, the queen.

28
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:16,278
That said, you're wrong.
He's right.

29
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:19,489
The safest place for this
isn't behind walls

30
00:03:19,657 --> 00:03:21,158
or guarded with guns.

31
00:03:21,326 --> 00:03:24,494
The safest place lives outside the realm
of anyone's awareness.

32
00:03:24,662 --> 00:03:27,331
If the English can't find it,
they can't take it.

33
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:29,291
I told her we were taking it,
just not where.

34
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:32,002
She agreed it was best for all

35
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,630
for its whereabouts
to remain unknown,

36
00:03:34,797 --> 00:03:38,300
provided that you
were among the circle

37
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,136
that knew of it.

38
00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:43,222
You they trust
above any of us

39
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:49,144
not to betray for money.

40
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:52,981
The irony wasn't lost
on either of us.

41
00:03:54,984 --> 00:03:56,985
Well, now that
you've been fetched,

42
00:03:57,153 --> 00:03:58,862
much to do.

43
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:00,530
A war to plan for.

44
00:04:05,286 --> 00:04:09,331
I've heard you use that word
a thousand times.

45
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:12,000
A war against England,

46
00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:14,419
now a war to reclaim Nassau.

47
00:04:16,172 --> 00:04:18,507
But hearing him use it just now,

48
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:21,843
so near the actual arrival of it,

49
00:04:22,011 --> 00:04:25,514
it sounds different.

50
00:04:25,682 --> 00:04:28,350
It feels different.

51
00:04:32,021 --> 00:04:35,691
Not far from here,
the fortifications are already built...

52
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:38,902
from which in a few days' time

53
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:43,490
you'll look out and stare down
King George's navy.

54
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:56,003
Are you having
second thoughts?

55
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:58,547
Aren't you?

56
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:01,883
All the blood
that's about to be spilt,

57
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:05,679
all the things about to be lost--
Aren't you?

58
00:05:05,847 --> 00:05:07,848
Well, I wish it wasn't necessary,

59
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:10,350
if that's what you're asking.

60
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,520
When we were becalmed,

61
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:17,858
I told Billy I believed
your darkest thoughts

62
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:19,192
somehow had the ability

63
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,737
to manifest themselves
upon our reality.

64
00:05:21,904 --> 00:05:27,034
That your anger over
the murder of Mrs. Barlow

65
00:05:27,201 --> 00:05:30,662
became the storm
into which we all battled.

66
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:33,373
That your despair
over her death

67
00:05:33,541 --> 00:05:35,751
became the doldrums
into which we all sank.

68
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:42,966
In my defense, I hadn't had
anything to eat or drink in a while.

69
00:05:44,594 --> 00:05:46,553
But the truth of it,

70
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:48,221
I'm not sure it was far off.

71
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:55,896
Your demons are a part
of our reality.

72
00:05:57,398 --> 00:06:00,484
Now, such is the nature
of the influence you wield.

73
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,279
Ah, some of those demons
I've come to know...

74
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,950
but the one in whose name
this war is to be fought...

75
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:12,662
it is still a stranger to me.

76
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:19,503
Before this war actually begins,

77
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:22,005
I'm asking where it actually began.

78
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:26,009
Will you tell me?

79
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:19,855
Oh, Jesus.

80
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:21,982
They are not fuckin' around,
are they?

81
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:25,193
We're supposed
to sail into that?

82
00:07:25,361 --> 00:07:28,196
One ship against
their entire fleet?

83
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:29,865
Favorable wind.

84
00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:31,032
We'll be upon them quickly.

85
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,326
We'll take fire, obviously.

86
00:07:33,494 --> 00:07:35,662
If we can just get our vanguard
aboard one of their ships,

87
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:37,372
we could disrupt their entire line.

88
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:39,082
Do not look at me like that.

89
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:40,876
This is the plan.

90
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:42,043
Harass their line.

91
00:07:42,211 --> 00:07:44,212
We create uncertainty

92
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:46,047
in the minds of their soldiers
on the ground

93
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,884
and undermine their confidence
in their command.

94
00:07:49,051 --> 00:07:51,887
Yeah, and I know
how they'll feel.

95
00:07:52,054 --> 00:07:54,139
Sails! East-southeast!

96
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,765
East?

97
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:05,567
Six ships.
British colors.

98
00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:07,903
Who the fuck is that?

99
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:10,071
Reinforcements, likely.

100
00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:12,073
It seems Governor Rogers
was able to enlist

101
00:08:12,241 --> 00:08:13,408
the aid of one
of his colleagues.

102
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:15,202
I'll put a launch
in the water now.

103
00:08:15,369 --> 00:08:17,537
What for?

104
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:19,289
To inform Captain Flint

105
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:21,875
so he can make his retreat.

106
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:24,044
There could be hundreds of soldiers
aboard those ships.

107
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:25,545
The captain's battle plan

108
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:26,713
does not take into account
a force that large.

109
00:08:26,881 --> 00:08:28,215
Captain Flint's battle plan

110
00:08:28,382 --> 00:08:30,050
does not take
into account is retreat.

111
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:31,968
There is nowhere
to retreat to.

112
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:34,888
And given how much we have sacrificed
to earn this battle,

113
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:37,349
how can we do anything
other than see it through?

114
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,519
My friend may have given his life
to earn this battle.

115
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:44,523
I understand the obligation
you are feeling to succeed,

116
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:46,316
but there comes
a certain point

117
00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:48,151
when one must accept
what is painfully obvious.

118
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,320
- How many ships?
- What?

119
00:08:50,488 --> 00:08:52,322
The second fleet--
How many ships?

120
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:54,324
Six sets of sails!

121
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:55,492
Describe them, please.

122
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,494
- What difference does it make?
- Shut up.

123
00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,996
The flotilla-- describe them.

124
00:09:00,164 --> 00:09:01,873
Three tall ships!

125
00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:05,001
Two sloops!

126
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,337
- One man of war.
- And one man of war.

127
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:12,425
Make a course for that
second flotilla, please.

128
00:09:13,469 --> 00:09:14,511
You're going to attack them?

129
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,471
Time is short, please.

130
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,014
Get us under way.

131
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:21,977
Get us under way!

132
00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:17,490
Right flank, kneel!

133
00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:28,001
Fire!

134
00:10:41,223 --> 00:10:42,515
Reload!

135
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,396
Bring the mortars forward!

136
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:50,857
- Mortars.
- Mortars!

137
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,777
Concentrate on the mortars!

138
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:04,913
Reload!

139
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:06,956
Three paces forward!

140
00:11:07,124 --> 00:11:08,500
Present!

141
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:10,293
Fire!

142
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:18,051
Company,
form into two ranks!

143
00:11:18,219 --> 00:11:20,428
Now!

144
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:26,101
Second cannon!

145
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:28,269
Take cover!

146
00:11:29,605 --> 00:11:31,606
Ready the gun, ahh!

147
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:35,235
Fire!

148
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:36,444
Second rank!

149
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:38,988
Mortars in position!

150
00:11:39,156 --> 00:11:40,824
Fire!

151
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:44,202
Fire!

152
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,457
Captain, it's time!

153
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,459
- Not yet.
- Fire!

154
00:11:51,627 --> 00:11:54,963
Two inches!
Two inches!

155
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:56,256
Fire!

156
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,182
Captain, we need to fall back.

157
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:09,310
Fire!

158
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:15,483
Smoke!

159
00:12:15,651 --> 00:12:18,361
- Smoke!
- Smoke!

160
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:23,408
Form into two ranks!

161
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:25,535
Line facing forward!

162
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,620
- Fall back!
- Fall back!

163
00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:30,331
- Retreat!
- Fall back!

164
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,210
Hold your fire!

165
00:12:34,378 --> 00:12:38,214
- Hold your fire!
- First company, prepare to move out!

166
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:40,216
I wouldn't do that.

167
00:12:40,384 --> 00:12:42,218
Beg your pardon?

168
00:12:43,387 --> 00:12:45,054
Stand easy!

169
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:51,394
He asked for this fight, Major.

170
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:53,188
He didn't do so without a plan.

171
00:12:53,355 --> 00:12:56,858
And I promise you, bumbling into
a hasty retreat wasn't a part of it.

172
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:58,359
Bumbling?

173
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:00,528
They were overwhelmed
by a superior force.

174
00:13:00,696 --> 00:13:03,239
He wants us to pursue him.
He wants you to pursue him.

175
00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:07,952
A tactical withdrawal
to guide us into an ambush.

176
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,080
Am I to believe he sacrificed
over 50 of his men,

177
00:13:11,248 --> 00:13:13,917
led them into
a massacre deliberately,

178
00:13:14,084 --> 00:13:17,253
just to entice us to chase him?

179
00:13:17,421 --> 00:13:21,090
You don't know that man,
Major, but I do.

180
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:24,427
He's quite capable of
what you suggest and more.

181
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:37,899
...reflected there.

182
00:13:41,403 --> 00:13:43,905
Is everything all right?

183
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:46,074
Show her what you showed to me.

184
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:02,090
"To the first to betray,
I offer the first chance to repent.

185
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:05,552
Remove the captain.
You have until nightfall."

186
00:14:05,719 --> 00:14:07,053
Where did you get this?

187
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:09,889
It was sitting at the foot of my bed
when I awoke this morning.

188
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:11,391
Someone left it while I slept.

189
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,643
The message,
it would seem, is clear.

190
00:14:13,811 --> 00:14:16,396
There is a voice out there
yet to identify itself

191
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,398
that wants to see
Captain Vane's remains

192
00:14:18,566 --> 00:14:20,525
removed from the gibbet
in the square.

193
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,403
Why does it look like this?

194
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:26,239
An old wives' tale.
Pirate lore.

195
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:29,534
Avery's maiden crew
was said to deliver the black spot

196
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,036
as a warning
to wayward crew members.

197
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,205
Ignored on pain of death.

198
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:37,417
I knew men when
I was young who sailed with Avery.

199
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:40,962
It was a bullshit story then,
and it's no less a bullshit story now.

200
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:44,549
Ma'am, cowards send notes.

201
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:48,261
The form of the threat
may not likely be the issue.

202
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:50,138
We are aware there is
dissent on the street.

203
00:14:50,306 --> 00:14:52,265
Perhaps removing the gibbet

204
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:53,600
would go a long way
towards settling

205
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:55,351
whatever unrest may be brewing.

206
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,437
You're suggesting
that the governor comply

207
00:14:57,605 --> 00:14:59,230
with an anonymous threat?

208
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:01,900
I am suggesting the gibbet
could be seen by some

209
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,401
to be inflammatory.

210
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,403
The point has been made.

211
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:06,988
The law has been satisfied.

212
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:08,573
It is a well-settled
statement of resolve

213
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,074
to maintain the display.

214
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:12,076
If it is removed
in the light of this threat,

215
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:14,412
in the light of Captain Flint's
standing ultimatum

216
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:18,416
against the use of it, would it not
worry you that it might appear weak?

217
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:21,377
It certainly worries me
to make self-defeating mistakes

218
00:15:21,545 --> 00:15:23,212
out of fear of appearing weak.

219
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:26,007
No, he's right.

220
00:15:26,175 --> 00:15:28,384
He's right.

221
00:15:30,971 --> 00:15:32,513
Gives me no pleasure
having it there,

222
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,183
no matter what
the street may say.

223
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:37,852
But to remove it in this moment
threatens to undermine confidence

224
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,271
in the governor's leadership.

225
00:15:40,439 --> 00:15:43,191
That said, the end of three days' time,

226
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:47,028
I want it down and gone,
not a minute longer.

227
00:15:47,196 --> 00:15:49,864
If you would like me
to form a small detail

228
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:51,366
to offer you protection
in the meantime--

229
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:55,036
If anyone has a problem
with my allegiance to the Crown,

230
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:59,374
my men and I are happy
to address it with them.

231
00:15:59,541 --> 00:16:02,335
Ma'am?

232
00:16:04,004 --> 00:16:05,088
Excuse me.

233
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:24,565
You should be in bed.

234
00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:27,527
I've spent enough time in bed.

235
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:52,010
I did what I did.

236
00:16:53,095 --> 00:16:56,556
I know how it seems, to the street,
to you, but please understand--

237
00:16:56,724 --> 00:16:58,474
It seems...

238
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:02,520
as though a very difficult
thing was done.

239
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,067
It seems as though
I am fortunate

240
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:10,611
you had the courage to do it.

241
00:17:14,241 --> 00:17:15,742
You have enemies here.

242
00:17:22,249 --> 00:17:24,625
Then let them be
my enemies as well.

243
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:31,090
Any and all of them.

244
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:35,053
And let them come.

245
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:22,683
As you were.

246
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:37,198
Six ships--
Two sloops, man of war--

247
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:38,658
It's a familiar combination.

248
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,952
I once had a fleet
of that makeup.

249
00:18:43,038 --> 00:18:45,748
Get her cleaned up, boy!

250
00:18:50,712 --> 00:18:53,214
I came looking for Flint,
not you.

251
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:54,590
Where is he?

252
00:18:54,758 --> 00:18:56,134
He's currently being pummeled

253
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:58,261
by half the British navy
just beyond the horizon.

254
00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:00,346
The navy?

255
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:04,392
The war to reclaim Nassau
began here about an hour ago.

256
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,352
The entirety of the British fleet

257
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,605
under the command of
Governor Rogers is in play.

258
00:19:09,773 --> 00:19:13,025
I'd like to think that you're here
to join our effort,

259
00:19:13,193 --> 00:19:15,695
but I fear the reason for your arrival
is something other than that.

260
00:19:18,031 --> 00:19:19,365
Charles is dead.

261
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:29,250
The governor in Nassau
hung him in the square.

262
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:34,046
On the island I helped to build,

263
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:37,049
he thought he could do that,
face no consequences.

264
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,553
He failed to account for me.

265
00:19:44,349 --> 00:19:46,350
British law sentenced him,

266
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:48,186
but I think you and I
both know who it was

267
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:51,606
that fashioned that noose,
and it was no "he."

268
00:19:51,773 --> 00:19:54,358
I look forward to seeing
Miss Guthrie again

269
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:58,196
and settling
Charles' account with her.

270
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,198
But there is no victory over her

271
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:03,534
without a victory here today.

272
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:05,203
That much is clear.

273
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,165
Will you help us find it?

274
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:16,088
Madness is such
a hard thing to define,

275
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:19,550
which makes it
such an easy label

276
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:22,428
to affix to one's enemies.

277
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:28,059
Once it had
been applied to Thomas,

278
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:33,064
once our relationship
had been exposed,

279
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:36,067
defiled, scandalized...

280
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,238
everything ended.

281
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:47,203
There were times
that I was persuaded

282
00:20:47,371 --> 00:20:48,537
to sue for peace since then,

283
00:20:48,705 --> 00:20:52,208
but that was the day

284
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:56,212
that on some level I knew...

285
00:20:56,380 --> 00:21:00,549
that England was broken...

286
00:21:00,717 --> 00:21:04,720
and that sooner or later
a good man must resist it.

287
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:10,559
I don't know what to say.

288
00:21:10,727 --> 00:21:14,188
You don't need to say anything.

289
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:15,856
You asked me where it began,

290
00:21:16,024 --> 00:21:20,027
and I felt that you were entitled
to an answer--

291
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:21,529
To the truth.

292
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:24,031
I appreciate that.

293
00:21:26,535 --> 00:21:29,120
And I am genuinely sorry.

294
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:35,376
But you can see
how this might be of particular

295
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:37,128
and immediate concern for me.

296
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:40,047
I can?

297
00:21:40,215 --> 00:21:43,884
Well, before today
I knew of two people

298
00:21:44,052 --> 00:21:47,013
who managed to truly know you,

299
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:50,349
to gain your trust,
to be your partner,

300
00:21:50,517 --> 00:21:52,560
and they both ended up dead
while playing the role.

301
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:55,062
- Now, wait a minute--
- Now you're telling me

302
00:21:55,230 --> 00:21:56,897
there's a third member
of this class,

303
00:21:57,065 --> 00:21:59,400
making it even less credible
to characterize Mr. Gates'

304
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:03,070
and Mrs. Barlow's deaths
as bad luck.

305
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:05,406
It would seem that those
closest to you meet their end

306
00:22:05,574 --> 00:22:09,577
not just during the relationship,

307
00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:12,079
but because of it.

308
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:14,373
And as I sit here,
I'm acutely aware

309
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:16,208
there may be no one
closer to you

310
00:22:16,376 --> 00:22:17,626
in the world right now than I.

311
00:22:17,794 --> 00:22:19,253
What exactly are you saying?

312
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:23,549
That I've somehow sought out
my own tragedies?

313
00:22:23,717 --> 00:22:26,218
Did you not tell me
that our darkest motives

314
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:28,054
will conceal themselves from us?

315
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:29,889
Cloak themselves
in whatever they must

316
00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:32,183
in order to move us to action?

317
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:34,560
And even if that's not true,

318
00:22:34,728 --> 00:22:36,437
a pattern is a pattern,

319
00:22:36,605 --> 00:22:38,397
and only a fool ignores one

320
00:22:38,565 --> 00:22:41,233
because he does not care
for the implications.

321
00:22:41,401 --> 00:22:45,571
So you see yourself as a potential
fourth member of this class,

322
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:47,865
concerned that
your association with me

323
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:49,992
will lead to your end.

324
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,371
My association with you
began out of necessity,

325
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:55,790
but I've come to find

326
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:57,875
a great deal of respect for you.

327
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,586
Perhaps even friendship.

328
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:02,630
Hmm.

329
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:11,514
Which is why I find myself
unnerved by the thought

330
00:23:11,681 --> 00:23:13,349
that when this pattern

331
00:23:13,517 --> 00:23:15,267
applies itself to you and I...

332
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:20,272
that I will be the end of you.

333
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,274
Is that so?

334
00:23:22,442 --> 00:23:23,984
Now, three who preceded me

335
00:23:24,152 --> 00:23:26,320
all had one thing in common.

336
00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:28,364
They were vulnerable to you.

337
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,491
Had more to lose than you,

338
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:33,494
less means with which to protect
themselves than you.

339
00:23:35,664 --> 00:23:37,498
Till recently, I thought
that was me as well,

340
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:40,626
but now...

341
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:44,839
I don't know that it is anymore.

342
00:23:45,006 --> 00:23:47,508
It is natural for men new to power

343
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:50,177
to assume that it has no limits.

344
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:54,265
Trust me. It does.

345
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:57,935
We agreed that I would select a man

346
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,521
to be responsible
for making a direct move

347
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:03,858
against Captain Hornigold
once the battle begins.

348
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:05,818
I chose Mr. Dobbs.

349
00:24:05,986 --> 00:24:07,695
You chose Dobbs?

350
00:24:09,698 --> 00:24:10,948
Why the fuck would you do that?

351
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:12,950
It's a dangerous errand--

352
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:15,870
It's more than dangerous.

353
00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,539
The entirety of our plan
rests on its success.

354
00:24:18,707 --> 00:24:20,374
Why would you
assign it to a man

355
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:22,460
harboring who knows what sort of
resentment against you?

356
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:24,879
Because it isn't resentment.

357
00:24:25,046 --> 00:24:27,214
If you had disciplined him,
he would resent you for it,

358
00:24:27,382 --> 00:24:29,884
but towards me--

359
00:24:30,051 --> 00:24:31,719
I don't believe he feels resentment.

360
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,348
I believe he feels shame

361
00:24:36,516 --> 00:24:39,143
for having disappointed me

362
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:42,354
and a great need
to redeem himself in my eyes.

363
00:24:42,522 --> 00:24:44,231
Send someone else.

364
00:24:44,399 --> 00:24:45,900
It's done.

365
00:24:46,067 --> 00:24:48,402
He knows.

366
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:50,237
Were I to replace him now,

367
00:24:50,405 --> 00:24:52,239
it might provoke the response
you wish to avoid.

368
00:24:52,407 --> 00:24:53,908
If you're wrong,

369
00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:57,703
if Mr. Dobbs takes
this opportunity to betray you...

370
00:24:59,915 --> 00:25:02,041
to betray us...

371
00:25:07,881 --> 00:25:10,966
this battle will be over
before it ever began.

372
00:25:15,096 --> 00:25:18,724
Flint sent you to kill me,
yet instead, you surrendered.

373
00:25:18,892 --> 00:25:20,601
Why?

374
00:25:22,395 --> 00:25:24,230
Sailed with that crew for months.

375
00:25:26,399 --> 00:25:28,567
Then they take the side
of those fucking savages

376
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:31,529
over a man who was supposed
to have been their brother.

377
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:35,533
Truth is, they didn't give a shit about me
except that I did their bidding,

378
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,036
so now I'm ready to see it end,

379
00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:41,247
and I can help you end it.

380
00:25:41,414 --> 00:25:44,208
Says he knows where
the slave camp is located.

381
00:25:45,752 --> 00:25:49,421
Says the cache with gems
is hidden nearby.

382
00:26:00,016 --> 00:26:02,518
Mr. Carter,
please bring me that man there.

383
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:22,371
Unfortunately, I've known too many men
from Nassau in my life,

384
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:27,209
and it's so very hard to know
which can be taken at their word.

385
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:34,842
Show me that you truly intend
to leave Captain Flint

386
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:37,386
and your life with him behind you.

387
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:39,847
Oh, that man will meet the same end

388
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:42,766
whether you shoot him
or some other man hangs him,

389
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:45,394
but I'd like to be quite certain

390
00:26:45,562 --> 00:26:46,979
your intentions are true.

391
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:07,875
Major, prepare your men.

392
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:09,585
Sir.

393
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:12,921
Lieutenant, prepare the men.

394
00:27:13,089 --> 00:27:14,381
Make sure they have
plenty of supplies,

395
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:15,883
water, and ammunition.

396
00:27:16,051 --> 00:27:17,134
We're heading into the forest.

397
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:01,512
He was hiding by the water.

398
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:07,935
Otherwise, everyone is accounted for
and where they belong.

399
00:28:08,103 --> 00:28:10,521
All but you.

400
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:13,107
You do not feel
you are where you belong.

401
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:19,071
The men above
would fight to protect us.

402
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:20,489
I should be among them.

403
00:28:22,242 --> 00:28:24,910
If we are to lead them
into this war,

404
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:27,830
we ought to show that we are willing
to lead them through it.

405
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:46,056
You have protected me
for so very long.

406
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,394
It is time I did the same for you.

407
00:29:18,715 --> 00:29:20,549
Did he get it?

408
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:22,718
Your black spot was delivered, yeah.

409
00:29:24,804 --> 00:29:26,388
- But?
- I saw him.

410
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:27,973
He was in the tavern
drinking with his men.

411
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:30,350
They were in high spirits.

412
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:32,186
And the gibbet remains?

413
00:29:32,353 --> 00:29:34,521
Yeah.

414
00:29:34,689 --> 00:29:37,357
I think it's gonna take
more than a note to frighten him.

415
00:29:37,525 --> 00:29:39,151
Of course it is.

416
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:44,031
It was Mr. Gates who first told me
about the spot.

417
00:29:44,199 --> 00:29:47,868
It kept him awake
for three nights.

418
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:50,621
It wasn't the note
or the threat.

419
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:55,209
It was the idea
of Avery himself,

420
00:29:55,376 --> 00:29:58,295
just the awareness
that someone so terrible

421
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:00,380
knew your name.

422
00:30:01,549 --> 00:30:03,383
I have no doubt
that Captain Throckmorton

423
00:30:03,551 --> 00:30:07,221
is currently unconcerned
with our threat.

424
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:11,225
We have only just begun
to tell our story.

425
00:30:11,392 --> 00:30:13,185
We haven't yet
introduced the villain.

426
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:18,398
It's been a few days
since I told you

427
00:30:18,566 --> 00:30:20,526
of my suspicions about Idelle,

428
00:30:20,693 --> 00:30:24,029
her role in the attack
on the governor's caravan.

429
00:30:24,197 --> 00:30:26,448
One can only assume
she did not act alone,

430
00:30:26,616 --> 00:30:29,117
but had partners
in this endeavor.

431
00:30:29,285 --> 00:30:32,037
You did not report
this news to the governor

432
00:30:32,205 --> 00:30:33,330
nor to Miss Guthrie.

433
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:34,540
Nor did you take any action

434
00:30:34,707 --> 00:30:37,584
to discover who
the partners might be.

435
00:30:37,752 --> 00:30:39,837
Until I know
how this game will unfold,

436
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:42,840
I choose to allow the players
to reveal themselves to me

437
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:44,508
lest I make an enemy
out of someone

438
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,969
I may one day wish
to call a friend.

439
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,687
This way.

440
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:03,277
Is it possible one of the governor's
calls for assistance was heard?

441
00:31:03,444 --> 00:31:05,988
Reinforcements
from a sister colony?

442
00:31:16,499 --> 00:31:18,625
Flint gave you command of his ship.

443
00:31:18,793 --> 00:31:22,170
Yes.

444
00:31:22,338 --> 00:31:26,008
You can count the things that Flint and I
agree upon on one hand.

445
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:31,555
But among them is
the sincere confusion

446
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:35,058
as to why Charles invested
any time and energy in you.

447
00:31:35,226 --> 00:31:37,352
I suppose Flint's come to see
that there might be

448
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,314
some capacity in you after all.

449
00:31:40,481 --> 00:31:44,359
And?

450
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:47,446
And what?

451
00:31:47,614 --> 00:31:49,406
"And" as in it sounded

452
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:52,326
as if there was more
to that thought.

453
00:31:56,414 --> 00:31:59,082
That you might see yourself
agreeing with him again...

454
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:02,878
about my capacity.

455
00:32:04,714 --> 00:32:06,214
There wasn't any more
to that thought, was there?

456
00:32:06,382 --> 00:32:07,883
Signal!

457
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:10,344
On the flagship's mainmast!

458
00:32:17,727 --> 00:32:20,062
They're showing
her fleet identification,

459
00:32:20,229 --> 00:32:22,230
asking us to verify
who we are.

460
00:32:22,398 --> 00:32:24,149
Get my log from below.

461
00:32:25,568 --> 00:32:28,946
You have the proper codes
to respond?

462
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,031
I do.

463
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,742
Don't.

464
00:32:34,744 --> 00:32:35,869
Raise the black instead.

465
00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:39,539
Raise the black?

466
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:42,209
He believes we are beneath him,

467
00:32:42,377 --> 00:32:44,544
tactically incompetent.

468
00:32:44,712 --> 00:32:46,672
Why give him
any reason to doubt it?

469
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:53,929
To be underestimated
is an incredible gift.

470
00:33:04,232 --> 00:33:06,066
Signal the line.
Divide the gun crews

471
00:33:06,234 --> 00:33:07,234
and prepare
the larboard batteries.

472
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:08,402
Sir.

473
00:33:08,569 --> 00:33:10,070
Prepare the larboard batteries!

474
00:33:10,238 --> 00:33:12,364
Prepare the larboard batteries!

475
00:33:43,146 --> 00:33:45,022
And did she fight it?

476
00:33:47,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Your mother.

477
00:33:49,652 --> 00:33:51,319
Did she resist
your being here?

478
00:33:52,989 --> 00:33:54,990
I believe she wanted to.

479
00:33:56,701 --> 00:34:00,495
I believe every part of her being
was calling out for it.

480
00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:02,706
Then why didn't she?

481
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:08,378
She has spent so many years
protecting our people,

482
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:11,173
protecting me.

483
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,175
To put it all in danger now...

484
00:34:13,342 --> 00:34:14,843
it is a necessary sacrifice

485
00:34:15,011 --> 00:34:16,803
if this war is to be won.

486
00:34:19,682 --> 00:34:23,101
But it violates everything
she understands herself to be.

487
00:34:26,022 --> 00:34:28,857
She let me go
because she knows

488
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:31,193
that if we survive
this battle today,

489
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,196
she will likely
need to step aside

490
00:34:34,363 --> 00:34:36,031
and make room
for someone better suited

491
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:37,908
to do what must be done.

492
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:40,535
It's a hard thing

493
00:34:40,703 --> 00:34:43,497
to look your successor
in the eye

494
00:34:43,664 --> 00:34:45,165
and know that
their time is nearing

495
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:47,417
while yours is almost through.

496
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,507
But as far as successors go,

497
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:56,843
your mother could do far worse.

498
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:01,014
Ma'am!

499
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:16,822
Aah!

500
00:35:19,325 --> 00:35:21,159
They'll fight to the death
to defend it.

501
00:35:21,327 --> 00:35:24,329
There's only 100 men, more or less,
left behind to guard it.

502
00:35:24,497 --> 00:35:26,039
The rest are women and children.

503
00:35:26,207 --> 00:35:28,041
And the cache?
It's being guarded there as well?

504
00:35:28,209 --> 00:35:29,876
It's nearby. Buried.

505
00:35:30,044 --> 00:35:31,545
But the one of them
who knows where to find it

506
00:35:31,712 --> 00:35:33,547
is inside that camp,

507
00:35:33,714 --> 00:35:35,215
and he cannot run away.

508
00:35:35,383 --> 00:35:37,050
Get a message to the major.

509
00:35:37,218 --> 00:35:39,219
Tell him he can deploy
his men to this position.

510
00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:42,139
Let's finish this
as quickly as possible.

511
00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:50,522
You trust him?

512
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:52,274
What's that?

513
00:35:52,441 --> 00:35:54,860
A few weeks ago,
we had a chance to sail with him.

514
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:58,029
You said you'd always be
lookin' over your shoulder,

515
00:35:58,197 --> 00:36:00,198
worried he'd fuck us
the first chance he got.

516
00:36:00,366 --> 00:36:02,200
I will say this for him.

517
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:05,036
In recent weeks,
among the disturbing number of people

518
00:36:05,204 --> 00:36:07,539
who've tried to kill
one or the both of us,

519
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:10,041
he is not among them.

520
00:36:10,209 --> 00:36:13,003
Charles was, in some sense,
a son to him,

521
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,172
and Charles was,
in some sense, a brother to us.

522
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:17,007
I couldn't tell you
what that makes us to him,

523
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,217
but something, perhaps.

524
00:36:19,385 --> 00:36:22,721
Gun crews at the ready!

525
00:36:22,889 --> 00:36:24,931
Gun crews at the ready!

526
00:36:25,099 --> 00:36:26,266
See you on the other side.

527
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:29,644
Always.

528
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:37,777
Come to your crews,
Mr. Turner!

529
00:36:40,948 --> 00:36:42,490
Gun number one ready!

530
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:45,577
Number six ready!

531
00:36:45,745 --> 00:36:48,455
Does he actually mean to exchange
broadsides with us?

532
00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:51,124
Pass word up the line.
All ships may fire at will.

533
00:36:51,292 --> 00:36:52,292
Yes, sir.

534
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:53,710
Gun crews,
prepare to engage!

535
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,338
Larboard batteries may fire at will!

536
00:36:56,505 --> 00:36:58,048
Fire!

537
00:37:18,277 --> 00:37:19,903
Open the ports!

538
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:21,613
Open the ports!

539
00:37:49,183 --> 00:37:51,559
Company, present!

540
00:37:51,727 --> 00:37:58,400
Fire!

541
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:05,699
Aah!

542
00:38:19,046 --> 00:38:20,380
Defenders across the water

543
00:38:20,548 --> 00:38:22,299
have been rendered
largely ineffective.

544
00:38:22,466 --> 00:38:25,468
Any luck, we'll have a beachhead
established within an hour,

545
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:28,096
find Mr. Silver,
the fugitive Mr. Rackham,

546
00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:31,057
and have the cache in
our possession before the sun sets.

547
00:38:31,225 --> 00:38:32,225
Sir.

548
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:34,060
Come.

549
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:47,907
I once thought that to lead men
in this world,

550
00:38:48,075 --> 00:38:51,077
to be liked was just as good
as feared,

551
00:38:51,245 --> 00:38:54,581
and that may very well be true.

552
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:57,917
But to be both liked
and feared all at once

553
00:38:58,085 --> 00:39:01,463
is an entirely different
state of being...

554
00:39:03,174 --> 00:39:07,594
in which, I believe,
at this moment, I exist alone.

555
00:39:09,597 --> 00:39:12,932
The men need to know
they're in good favor with me.

556
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:14,267
They need it,

557
00:39:14,435 --> 00:39:16,269
and there is nothing
they won't do

558
00:39:16,437 --> 00:39:17,979
to make sure they have it.

559
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:21,608
Mr. Dobbs will do
what I ask of him.

560
00:39:21,776 --> 00:39:23,610
Fire!

561
00:39:23,778 --> 00:39:25,028
Pull everyone back.

562
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:27,614
- Sir?
- Pull them back, now!

563
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:29,240
He will lead Captain Hornigold

564
00:39:29,408 --> 00:39:32,202
exactly where I ask him to,
of this I'm sure.

565
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:39,292
But from there,
it's up to you.

566
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:48,968
We're being ambushed!

567
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:15,203
Company, withdrawal!

568
00:40:27,341 --> 00:40:29,050
Fire!

569
00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:35,682
What the hell is he doing?

570
00:40:35,850 --> 00:40:37,392
Could he mean to board us?

571
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,352
Order the larboard batteries
to concentrate their fire on that ship.

572
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,979
And send word
to the Orion to do the same.

573
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,147
Yes, sir.

574
00:40:42,314 --> 00:40:45,066
All crews, larboard batteries,
target the lead ship!

575
00:40:49,613 --> 00:40:51,114
Whoa!

576
00:41:03,794 --> 00:41:05,587
- Fire!
- Fire!

577
00:41:05,754 --> 00:41:07,046
Fire two!

578
00:41:07,214 --> 00:41:08,882
Aim ahead a little more!

579
00:41:09,049 --> 00:41:10,216
Fire!

580
00:41:10,384 --> 00:41:12,886
Lead him!

581
00:41:13,053 --> 00:41:15,054
Aah!

582
00:41:21,061 --> 00:41:22,395
Aah!

583
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:34,365
Get to the stern chasers!
Now!

584
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:41,664
Fire!

585
00:41:56,722 --> 00:41:59,057
Sir! It's the Orion!

586
00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:00,225
She's been overrun!

587
00:42:00,392 --> 00:42:02,894
Get the gun crews to resume firing.

588
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:05,313
Look out below!

589
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:08,608
How, sir?

590
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,071
Sir?

591
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,615
Shall we prepare to repel boarders?

592
00:42:15,783 --> 00:42:19,577
Cut our anchor cables

593
00:42:19,745 --> 00:42:21,579
and signal the line to retreat.

594
00:42:51,026 --> 00:42:52,610
Come on!

595
00:42:57,449 --> 00:42:59,492
Aah!

596
00:43:31,025 --> 00:43:34,027
Company, retreat!

597
00:43:34,194 --> 00:43:36,321
Back! Fall back!

598
00:43:36,488 --> 00:43:38,573
Company, retreat!

599
00:43:38,741 --> 00:43:40,158
Retreat!

600
00:43:42,411 --> 00:43:44,412
Tell your governor!

601
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:47,248
You tell him I'm coming!

602
00:43:51,587 --> 00:43:55,173
Let us say there is some merit
to your argument.

603
00:43:55,341 --> 00:43:59,469
Let us say that Mr. Dobbs
will do as you ask of him.

604
00:44:00,554 --> 00:44:02,388
I would have to admit
in that case

605
00:44:02,556 --> 00:44:06,059
that the world
has shifted beneath our feet

606
00:44:06,226 --> 00:44:09,354
in a most startling way.

607
00:44:09,521 --> 00:44:12,231
But in terms of our future

608
00:44:12,399 --> 00:44:16,402
and the danger that you believe
you may pose to me,

609
00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:18,196
bear this in mind.

610
00:44:18,364 --> 00:44:22,241
I have survived starvation,

611
00:44:22,409 --> 00:44:24,452
a tempest,

612
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:26,496
pirate hunters,

613
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:29,290
jealous captains,
mutinous crews,

614
00:44:29,458 --> 00:44:31,292
angry lords,

615
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:32,669
a queen, a king,

616
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:36,089
and the goddamn
British navy.

617
00:44:38,092 --> 00:44:42,428
So to whatever extent
you may be concerned

618
00:44:42,596 --> 00:44:44,722
that some day we will clash,

619
00:44:47,309 --> 00:44:51,062
worried that though
today we be friends,

620
00:44:51,230 --> 00:44:54,941
some day you will have no choice
but to be my end...

621
00:44:57,653 --> 00:45:00,405
I won't worry too much.

622
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:06,411
They call him John the Giant.

623
00:45:06,578 --> 00:45:08,913
They say that
he's seven foot tall.

624
00:45:09,081 --> 00:45:10,581
They say that he moves
better on that leg

625
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:13,251
than most do with the ones
that God gave them.

626
00:45:13,419 --> 00:45:14,919
Why would they say that?

627
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:19,257
A man walks into a tavern
out the dead of night,

628
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:21,300
threatens the entirety
of the island,

629
00:45:21,468 --> 00:45:24,929
and then proceeds to remove
a man's head with a metal shoe.

630
00:45:25,097 --> 00:45:26,556
I say that's a story
that stands a strong chance

631
00:45:26,724 --> 00:45:28,182
of seeing itself embellished.

632
00:45:28,350 --> 00:45:30,560
Do we care that
it isn't remotely true?

633
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:34,564
Doesn't matter what's true.
Not now, at any rate.

634
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:38,192
We're creating the appearance
of a man out of nothing.

635
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:42,029
The appearance of a man that
the resistanc against the English

636
00:45:42,197 --> 00:45:44,365
feels compelled to rally around.

637
00:45:44,533 --> 00:45:47,034
We'll introduce him.
We'll put flesh on him.

638
00:45:47,202 --> 00:45:48,619
We'll give him a soul.

639
00:45:48,787 --> 00:45:50,204
But if the street wants to invest him

640
00:45:50,372 --> 00:45:52,540
with more than we can on our own,

641
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:54,292
I won't fight them about it.

642
00:45:55,711 --> 00:45:58,212
But that name isn't
doing anything for us.

643
00:45:58,380 --> 00:45:59,964
See about that.

644
00:46:00,132 --> 00:46:02,508
For those of you
who have not heard,

645
00:46:02,676 --> 00:46:04,594
the governor
has imposed martial law

646
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:09,182
upon all of Nassau Town in response to
the murder of Captain Throckmorton.

647
00:46:09,349 --> 00:46:12,226
He asks that I convey
to the rest of his council

648
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:15,188
the contents of the letter
left for him today,

649
00:46:15,355 --> 00:46:18,816
taking responsibility for
Captain Throckmorton's murder.

650
00:46:23,238 --> 00:46:25,573
"I was no one,

651
00:46:25,741 --> 00:46:29,243
and then you came,
and my island fell,

652
00:46:29,411 --> 00:46:30,745
and I became
something else."

653
00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:34,457
Why not Flint?

654
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:36,125
Flint?

655
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:39,086
You want to put a man forward
as a face of our efforts

656
00:46:39,254 --> 00:46:43,257
to oust the English from the island,
why not use Flint?

657
00:46:43,425 --> 00:46:45,468
They all know him already.
They all fear him already.

658
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:47,261
I've lived too long
dependent upon Flint

659
00:46:47,429 --> 00:46:49,597
to be the one
to hold our ranks together.

660
00:46:49,765 --> 00:46:52,266
It's time we finally
had an alternative.

661
00:46:52,434 --> 00:46:55,436
"On the night I confiscated
the pardon rolls,

662
00:46:55,604 --> 00:46:59,607
the night I started becoming,
I made clear my position

663
00:46:59,775 --> 00:47:04,111
that there would be two sorts of men
on the island going forward--

664
00:47:04,279 --> 00:47:05,613
Those like Captain Vane,

665
00:47:05,781 --> 00:47:08,449
determined to stand by
their oath to the very end,

666
00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:10,910
and those like
Captain Throckmorton,

667
00:47:11,078 --> 00:47:14,080
happy to be
the first to betray it.

668
00:47:14,248 --> 00:47:18,000
And thus, as always,
to traitors..."

669
00:47:18,168 --> 00:47:19,919
Does he even know?

670
00:47:20,087 --> 00:47:21,587
Mr. Silver?

671
00:47:21,755 --> 00:47:25,925
Does he have any idea
you're using his name?

672
00:47:26,093 --> 00:47:28,261
What flows forth
from this house,

673
00:47:28,428 --> 00:47:30,429
starting tonight,

674
00:47:30,597 --> 00:47:32,431
is a new story for Nassau.

675
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,478
I've watched her
follow madmen.

676
00:47:37,646 --> 00:47:40,106
I've watched her follow rich men.

677
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:44,068
I've watched her bow
before tyrants.

678
00:47:44,236 --> 00:47:48,239
But now it's time
she had a king.

679
00:47:48,407 --> 00:47:50,324
When we're ready,
when he's ready,

680
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:53,578
he'll step into the role
we've created for him...

681
00:47:56,248 --> 00:47:59,083
and lead an impossible army

682
00:47:59,251 --> 00:48:01,085
into an unwinnable war...

683
00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:06,591
and win it.

684
00:48:06,758 --> 00:48:08,926
"Captain Throckmorton's
black spot

685
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,429
will not be the last.

686
00:48:11,597 --> 00:48:14,557
Ignore it, and join him.

687
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:19,562
Heed it, and reclaim
your place amongst us.

688
00:48:21,398 --> 00:48:24,901
Until then, I remain...

689
00:48:25,068 --> 00:48:29,572
Long John Silver."
