All language subtitles for Jamestown S03E01

This blood is English blood.

Each new generation
will bring endless expansion
across this country.

You take our land,
our bloodlines.

What kind of friends are we?

I will not be owned, possessed,
confined or determined by wedlock.

I would own the land
and the profit from its yield,
and you will be my secret partner.

It is the judgement of our
governor to compensate
the widow Castell

by the granting of all lands
that belonged to
Master Massinger.

Every week she grows in strength and
position. Then we must cut her down.

A fire.

What a splendid spectacle
to welcome the widow into
the world of being a landlord.

I was told by the
Chickahominy, Silas Sharrow
gives information to the Pamunkey.

They'll blame you for this,
know you aided the naturals. Go.

You must forget about me, Alice.

Everything is broken.

Silas Sharrow...

(CHANTING)

(SCREAMING)

(DOGS BARKING)

(BARKING CONTINUES)

(MEAT SIMMERS)

(BABY CRYING)

(LAUGHS) Here, like this.

I believed I would
never know true beauty...

..till I set my eyes
on my own Virginia.

(BABY COOING)

(GASPS) Thank you!

What news have you brought,
James Read? There ain't no news
for you, Alice. I'm not asking you.

I know you will not lie to me,
James. I saw Silas.

How is he?
He is Pamunkey now, Alice.

But you did bring a message.
He wants to meet with Henry.

I'll go. He didn't ask to bring you.
Would you stop me going to the
husband I've not seen for months?

Suppose the sight of you
is a torment to him,

did you think of that?

I want him back.

Silas gave English secrets
to the naturals.

If he comes here,
they'll cut his throat.

Don't you ever bow
to what's done, Alice?

No. Never.

(SEAGULLS CAWING)

Dear Christopher, what a treasure
it is to see you returned.
Do you have it?

Ah, Jocelyn... I have missed
your glorious self-seeking.

Yes, I have brought
what you asked for.

Don't you want to comfort me
after such an arduous journey?

Don't you want to know my news?
Of course...of course.

England is raw-cold, oppressed
with debts, and I am to marry.

Oh...

In the time I was away,
Lettice has grown into a woman. Oh.

And will Lettice come to live here?
Or I might return to England.

It is yet to be decided.
Lettice, Lettice...

The little Wonderling
spared your heart, Christopher.

(LAUGHS) Be careful you do not
trip over your own giddy step.

Was ever a mortal
more contrary to nature?

Master Crabtree has
a bent back, sir.

It is no more than human affliction.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Where's your courage gone, woman?

If you let this moment pass,
and not ask him to speak to Silas,

then...it's time
you gave him up for good.

How...

Wasn't I this minute
standing by the river?

How is it I'm home?

He often thinks
he's been away and back again.

I'm married to a man
with dust beneath his skull.

Alice, you must find a reason
for Henry to take you with him.

Of the territories we took from
the naturals over the past years,

Arrohattoc, Quiyoughcohannock,

Nansemond, Paspahegh
and Warraskoyack,

those newly taken
will be granted by the company...

Will it be our governor's
true heart that parcels them out?

None will be sold to you, Sharrow.
We may as well give the land back
to the Pamunkey as do that.

(LAUGHTER)

Mistress Costello,
you cannot interrupt the Burgesses.

Sir, I'm not here to disrupt.
I'm here to join you.

I am a landowner,
a working, prospering farmer,

as each man is here.

Ha. A windmill.

I simply wish that a woman came
and showed you leaking kettles
what progress truly looks like.

Widow, if you insist on
remaining then we shall leave.

It is not possible
to conduct governance
under the whiff of perfume.

(CRICKETS CHIRRUP)

(HEAVY BREATHING)

(GASPING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(MUTTERING)

(MUTTERING CONTINUES)

(SOFTLY) When I sleep I have such...

..night visions.

I dreamt I found a key,

and then when I woke...

It is no more than
coincidence, Maria.

You must put aside such
devil-touched thinking.

You are Christian now.

I do not know how,

but I believe it is the key
to your house in Jamestown.

Maria, come help a man
that has lost his shoe, eh?

(LAUGHS)

Lady Yeardley,

I saw in my sleep
the Governor with an axe
held in one hand,

and a human head held in the other.

I dreamt that
the fields tended themselves,

as we sat in the shade
and drank and laughed all day long.

Madame, my ancestors bring this
to me to warn me of what is coming.

Such things cannot be true.
Hush, Maria, hush! Do you hear me?

Try it. See if it is true.

It is our bounden duty to deliver
the naturals from eternal damnation

by bringing them to God's truth.

But we have found that Silas Sharrow
has made a heathen of himself
and lives like a beast.

Henry, any word of your brother?

You don't need me
to assist you gentle sirs,

since you have your own informers.

And will your own child
soon be baptized?

Your affection for my baby
is most welcome, Secretary.

But I don't need your prodding
to take her to church.

Sharrow, you have means of
passing a message to the Pamunkey.

Let your brother know that
since he stands in the way
of our Christian purpose,

I will have his head on a spike.

(CONCERNED MUTTERING)

My hope is for Lettice
to come to Virginia.

Thank you...

(INDISTINCT DISCUSSION AND LAUGHTER)
Stop!

Mercy.

Has Pepper ever discussed
marriage with you? No, ma'am. Never.

Not a word of it. Only in whispers.

It is not possible,
do you understand?

When she takes a position,
a maid marries herself into service.

Yes, ma'am. You must tell him.

Make clear to Pepper you are never
to be married. Do it quickly,
so he carries no hopes about him.

Yes, ma'am. I will.

I want a father for my son.

You have as many suitors
as any woman might wish for.

I promised the Lord I would love
the man I married in that church.

Did Silas not commit treason
against our settlement, Alice?

Suppose Silas was baptized again,
before the eyes of every soul here.

Would that not be
a service to our country,

an advantage to the Governor?

Silas would be an example
to the Pamunkey

that they might renounce their
religion, join the Christian faith.

Why do you bring your scheme to me?

I do not believe you wish
to see your husband put
my husband's head onto a spike.

(HUMMING)

I have a promissory note for you,
Nicholas. A handsome profit.

I have proven myself a farmer
can build a fortune from ashes.

You are a little too public for my
rather secretive tastes, Jocelyn.

Oh, but, sir, isn't the risk
of making a pigeon of our governor

the most appealing part
of the entire enterprise?

Why must you rile
and rattle him so?

I know it was he who had my
crops burned to the ground.

He shames me
for remaining unmarried.

He sits upon this colony
like a cruel Caesar.

Hmm.

Let our governor
build the first windmill.

You do wish to return to
his good regard, then?

I'm not the one offering this gift.
You are.

Tell him you confiscated it from me.
As I came into the Burgesses I heard
of new land to be distributed,

and I want some of it.

Yeardley would never grant it to me,
but he might to you,
if you please him.

We must disguise any possibility
of conspiracy between we two,

so I will present to you
another opportunity to attack me.

Maria, did you take the key to my
house and pretend you had found it?

Why do you ask this when you do not
believe that I am deceiving you?

My whole faith demands
I cannot believe you...but I must.

Have you seen
such visions before, Maria?

Because you have dreamt this,
is it certain to happen?

Was it Silas Sharrow's
head that you saw?

I do not know
if it can be stopped, ma'am.

Everything I tell you is true.

Lady Yeardley, please do
not tell the Governor.

He will punish Maria.

We will build a windmill,
Temperance.

The plans were gained for me
by Secretary Farlow.

He claims he commanded
them from the widow.

Do we believe
he conquered her so easily?

My dear, suppose you could turn
Silas Sharrow's pagan beliefs
to your advantage...

..so that
he might help to convert

the naturals to Christianity.

Every corner of my eye
sees enemies, threats, conspiracies.

Is it any wonder that
my mind is in constant alert?

Perhaps you might
find one path to peace.

Will you speak with Alice Sharrow?

It is an ample trade
that you have already
with the farms upriver, sir.

Willmus Crabtree, respected
and venerated factor, sir.

Permitted by the Company
to market goods at swollen prices.

Secretary Farlow, if a man
wished to open a trading post
here on the settlement,

how might he achieve it?

The proposal must go first
through the Burgesses, then the
Governor. You misunderstand me, sir.

I meant we settle it,
here and now, between you and I.

Suppose some of the
best goods I ship here

catch your eye, master.

It might please me to please you.

Over a cup of sack, sir, you could
suggest to me a suitable premises.

Secretary Farlow...

Never mention the possibility
of marriage - it is forbid.

Don't you want to?

I prayed for such happiness...

..but if God wanted us to wed
he would not have my mistress
refuse it.

If you so much as speak to me,

I will have you tried for striking
an official of the Company.

(WHIMPERING)

(DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

I know my husband did a great wrong.
Will Henry take you to him?

Is that what's arranged?

Sir, if you grant this possibility,

I promise you that Silas will
publicly avow his loyalty to you

and be baptized to the true God.

(SIGHS)

If your husband returns,

he must denounce
all Pamunkey blasphemes...

..and subject himself to punishment.

But he will not be killed.

We Sharrows will be
faithful servants.

(BABY CRIES AS MOTHER SINGS LULLABY)

Henry, I'm coming with you.

You tell her we were leaving today?

I have an offer from our governor
to take to Silas,
that he might return.

You trust Yeardley?
It's not for you to decide, Henry.

Let me ask Silas that.

Those to be granted land
along the river are...

..Robert Nabb...

(MURMURING)

..Adam Varr...

Sir, I beg your indulgence.

If you men would walk
from a gathering of the Burgesses

because a daughter of
God sits amongst you,

each woman of Jamestown
will spurn this assembly

until that justice is rectified.

Widow. Widow!

I shall see you cast into jail,
should you offend our governor.

Do you consider yourself
above the law, you vile wildcat?!

Ladies.

(CRITTERS CHIRPING)

Pepper...

Take a look along the shoreline,
see if anyone's followed us.

Thank you, Henry.

Henry...

Wait here.

(TWIGS SNAP)

Oh...

Why are you here?
Where is Henry? Is Silas nearby?

Chacrow, I've been a friend to you.

I must speak with Silas.
(BIRDCALLS RING OUT)

Please, Chacrow,
I have a message for him!

(BIRDCALLS CONTINUE)

Winganuske, where you going? Wait.

Silas...

(SOFTLY) I miss you...

..every day.

Never stopped hoping.

I wanted to...

I wanted to meet with Henry,
to tell him that I...

..am going to live
in the faraway mountains.

Oh...

My Silas...

I'm sick with love for you, Alice.

It possesses me as much now
as ever it did,

but I am hunted every day.

Silas, I spoke with the governor.

You can come back. It's true.

He says you must denounce
Opechancanough

and submit yourself to God,

in example to the Pamunkey
that their Gods have failed you.

Silas, you can come back...

(BIRDCALLS RING OUT)

I ain't gonna let them take Silas.

(GUNSHOTS CONTINUE)

Ride, Alice. Silas, please,
will you come back?

Sharrow!

Stay down.

Sharrow...

Move. To the river.

Sharrow...

Quick!

All of my senses froze because my
eyes refused to admit what they saw.

An Englishman made painted beast.

Did your men see that it was
Henry who fired upon them?
Can we charge him?

I am thwarted at every quarter.

I will show this town
how authority speaks.

I see such a danger that we
might all be swallowed by
such darkling savagery.

Burn this promise
into my flesh, Doctor,

that every heathen will be
killed before I let that happen.

I pray the Lord knows your
husband well, Lady Yeardley.

I did not have any knowledge
of this trap, Alice. I promise you.

You've taken from me what
Henry Sharrow could not.

You've stolen my best hopes,
my better nature.

You have defeated me.

Alice...

Alice, please...

What will you do?

Ma'am, it's nothing.

I promise...I promise you, I fell.
Tell me, child.

Did Secretary Farlow do this to you?

Ma'am, in a day
the pain will be gone.

Let me be clear, sir,

you may never lay your stick
upon my maid again.

They were clenched.

The two of them, wrapped together
in a way that was ugly.

To your eyes, perhaps.

My mother wrapped herself
into a man that way.

I told the authorities,

and she was made to stand
before the congregation

and admit she was a fornicator.

Nicholas...

I stood in the church that day

and I knew that I had discovered
the polestar of my life.

Hatred.

I'm tired of it now.

I'm tired of Nicholas Farlow.

I met the new factor,
Crabtree, and...

..he saw the corruption in me.

He knew me. Instantly.

And I'm not shocked
by his own rancid smell.

I wish of you to release me from
our collusion against the Governor.

You might keep the
profits from the farm.

I am done with dishonour.

The secretary lashed Mercy
so fiercely and I did nothing!

While he lives, I can hardly
move for the shame of it, Henry.

(GENTLE LULLABY)

I cannot decide for you, Pepper.

But if you do choose to kill
the secretary,

you must know it might be the
last decision you make in this life.

If you do this, be sure to call
his name before you strike...

..that way he knows why he must die.

And he'll take
that knowledge with him to hell.

Look at me.

You kill a man...

..don't lie to yourself.

You'll be a killer
with every breath.

(DOOR CLATTERS)

My husband wishes you to join us
for supper, Mistress Castell.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Nicholas, are you also to dine at
the Governor's tonight?

Sir, you are one with care.

Let our scruple tonight be survival.

Pepper, what are you doing?

I hate the man who stood by you
while you were struck and cried out.

OK, I won't be that man,
do you hear me?

I would prefer a man living
and breathing who made one mistake,

one failing,
one slip of his courage,

to a man who takes his pride
with him under the ground.

I want you living, Pepper.

Go to your bed, Mercy.

I will wait for the secretary
and I will rid myself of this shame.

Pepper, please don't. Go on! Pepper!

Widow, you might imagine that
I have no cause to be kind to you.

But tonight, I do.

It might suit my purpose to grant
some riverside land to you.

Sir, what reason would
you have to favour me?

(LAUGHS)

I admire your fine, crooked dealings
with the secretary against me.

But your secret
partner henceforth will be me.

Governor, you could not believe
that I would dare to deceive you?

The land along the river
is rich, but the Company
would be...dissatisfied

if their governor took too much
for himself,

so you, Jocelyn, will buy it,

and you and I will be
secret partners in the matter.

Jocelyn, you need only name
Farlow as your fellow conspirator.

Sir, if I point my finger at any man
then your finger will point to me.

I saw you together,
secret conference this very night.

Sir, that was merely...

I struck Jocelyn, the widow's maid.

And she...we...sir, it was not
conspiracy that you witnessed.

Jocelyn. You call her Jocelyn.

Sir, speaking in the tavern
is not evidence of conspirators.

But what a misstep it was to present
to me the designs for the windmill

as if you'd snatched them
from her, Farlow.

She sent to England for them.
Look to the lady.

Would she not kick
and scream and bite

before she permitted you
to confiscate anything she valued?

Mischief. (TUTS)

Mischief. False as water.

(DOOR OPENS)

Nicholas, please confess.

He may spare you yet.

Governor, it was all of her making.

The violet forced me.

She entrapped me.

Bribery, sir.

Her only purpose was
to bring ruin upon you,
dear Governor.

(EXHALES)

What a great, great relief it is

to no longer have to
feign friendship and respect,

or swear false brotherhood

with a man who deserves
only a sacred hatred.

Let the rest of the world
carry on the veneer

of liking and loving you,

when what we all
truly wish for

is to spit upon your soul.

(SCREAMING)

(DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE)

(BARKING CONTINUES)

Let every pair of eyes here see...

..what becomes of traitors.

(WATER SPLASHES)

Ma'am...

Will God punish me
if I'm glad the secretary is dead?

No. What I see now...

..it is not enough.

Never enough to merely survive.

The brute that is our governor
must be utterly felled.

Henry. You shame me.

You shame all of us
with your boundless heart.

Your true rebellion
is that you insist on love.

You demand it.

Where in hell's name
you get such faith from?

Henry, you once told me that no one
can stay here and not be tainted.

So, I must leave.

Giddap!

Stay there, for Mama.

I thought that something true
might be made in the New World.

But it never can be. Alice...

What's in the bag?

What's in that bag, Alice? I'm going
to take the ship back to England.

I don't believe you.
I don't believe it. That's not true.

Why would you say a thing like that?
I won't let you. Why?

I don't know if I'm
fleeing from tyranny

or running away from a broken heart,

but I have to go.

I cannot believe that,
of all the people,

you were defeated
by this place, Alice.

Please say it is not so.

What am I going to do?

I can't so much as bear it.

(HOLLERING)

(CHANTING)

Silas!

(SHOUTING BRINGS SINGING TO A HALT)

Silas. I brought the horse
so that you might ride it.

Your wife is taking
the ship to England.

Silas, Alice is leaving.

(CRYING)

I'll never forget you.

Do you suppose that's
some comfort to me?

There, now...

(SEAGULLS CAWING)

He-ya!

(SCREAMING)

# Come little boy and go to sleep

# You will not see your mother weep

# For I will wear a sailor's coat

# Across the seas, I must go

# Farewell all gentle friends

# We will never meet again

# Farewell all gentle friends

# We will never meet again #

(REPEATS)

Who would defy my command

that the secretary's head
must remain here?

Look upon me. I will not be defied!

The naturals do have medicines.

They know the herbs
and the plants so well.

You speak truthfully, Doctor,
for your life depends on it.

What sins, sir,
had God put that hump on your back?

Luck has blessed me, Marshal,
with not one ugliness, but two.

I do not say that your
schemes are not justified,

only that they are dangerous.
