[PIGS GRUNTING]

[PIG SQUEALING]

OHH...

OH...

MMHH...

OH...OHH...

THAT'S HIS PERCY.

MM.

[EXHALES]

CAN YOU RECALL HOW YOU CAME TO BE OUT HERE

WITHOUT A STITCH OF A RAG ON YOU?

HMM...MM...

BEEN GAMBLING?

WAS I IN A BRAWL?

YOU CLEARED THE TAVERN OF EVERY DRINKING MAN

SO THAT YOU MIGHT SHOW YOUR RISING AFFECTIONS

TO YOUR WIFE.

OH.

DID I?

IS IT ANY WONDER I'M CHILDLESS?

I'VE BEEN BETTER PRICKED BY A THISTLE

THAN ME OWN HUSBAND.

OH, NO.

IS THIS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE?

I WANT A BABE, AND YOU RIP OUT YOUR OWN SENSES

WITH THE DRINK.

HOW LONG BEFORE I GIVE UP,

MEREDITH RUTTER?

HUH?

HOW LONG?

UH...

ALICE, WHERE IS SILAS TODAY?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IS HE GONE?

DID HE NOT SAY WHERE HE WAS GOING?

BBL...UGH...

[COUGHS]

NO, PEPPER. I'M WELL ENOUGH, TRULY.

GO BACK TO WORK.

[COUGHS]

CHAFF AND BRAN THAT PASSES FOR MANHOOD.

UH, SIR, MASTER MASSINGER,

YOU SHOULD SELL ME TO GOVERNOR YEARDLEY

BEFORE ME TAKES ME FROM YOU.

HMM. YOUR INSOLENCE, PEDRO,

WILL SEE YOU CHAINED HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY,

HUH, READ?

DAMN IT, PEDRO.

HAVE YOU NOT HAD ENOUGH OF CHAINS?

WHAT ABOUT YOU, JAMES READ?

HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH OF CHAINS?

JAMES, WILL YOU SPEAK TO MISTRESS CASTELL?

TELL HER THAT HER HUSBAND PROMISED HE WOULD ARRANGE

FOR THE GOVERNOR TO BUY ME.

YOU THINK I COULD MAKE HER KEEP THAT PLEDGE?

BUT YOU WILL SPEAK WITH HER

BECAUSE YOU WANT PEDRO'S RESPECT.

MEREDITH: WOULDN'T YOU LOOK FINE IN A CLOAK,

MY LAMBKIN, TAFFETA?

I PICTURE YOU IN VELVET TRIM.

WE'RE NOT PAYING WHAT THEY CHARGE.

EVERY PIECE OF CARGO ON EVERY SHIP

BELONGS TO THE COMPANY.

THEY MAKE IT THE LAW SO THAT THEY CAN SELL IT

AT BLOODSUCKING PRICES

TO LINE THE POCKETS OF COMPANY MEN.

IT'S ROBBERY. HUH.

THE PURPOSE OF TRADE, MADAM,

IS PROFIT.

THE COMPANY EXISTS TO BREED PROFIT.

SINCE THE COMPANY ARE THE ONLY ONES

THAT SUPPLY THE COLONY, THEY WILL DECIDE

WHAT PROFIT THEY WILL MAKE.

[CHUCKLES]

THERE'S A CERTAIN ECONOMICAL LOGIC TO IT

THAT'S CHARMING.

SECRETARY FARLOW, DID EVER SUCH TRUTH

OOZE FROM A MAN?

WE KNOW OUR PLACE HERE, AND WE WELCOME IT,

DON'T WE, VERITY?

WE DO.

WELL, THE FINEST SILK RIBBON DOUBLET

AND A MOST EXPENSIVE LEATHER GIRDLE.

SUCH FINE CLOTHES, SIR, A DOG WOULD LOOK WELL IN THEM.

[SCOFFS]

AREN'T YOU EVEN COCK ENOUGH

TO CURSE THE WRONG OF IT?

HA HA HA!

YOU WILL SOON SEE THE MAN I AM,

MY LADYBIRD.

DR. PRIESTLY WAS MOST EAGER

THAT I SHOULD ALERT YOU TO THE DISCOVERY

OF THE TOTEMS IN SAMUEL'S CABINET,

AS THOUGH HE MIGHT FIND RELIEF

IF SAMUEL WERE NAMED THE PAPIST OF JAMESTOWN.

IF THE KING OF SPAIN HAS A HIRELING HERE,

OUR WHOLE ENDEAVOR IS MADE FRAIL.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU ARREST HIM NOW,

SEARCH AND INTERROGATE HIM?

LAST TRAITOR CAUGHT HERE, A HOLE WAS BORED IN HIS TONGUE

BOTH HIS ARMS WERE BROKEN, AND HE RAN A PHALANX

OF MILITIAMEN ARMED WITH CLUBS,

AND WE THREW THE JUDAS INTO THE WILDERNESS.

IN TRUTH, GOVERNOR, I AM INDIFFERENT

TO A MAN'S FAITH.

YEARDLEY: ENCOURAGE THE DOCTOR TO WOO YOU, JOCELYN,

SO HE COMES TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN ENTRUST YOU

IN WHATEVER SECRETS HE HOLDS.

DR. PRIESTLY.

GOOD MORNING, GOVERNOR. FINE DAY FOR IT.

REDWICK: SIR, THERE ARE THOSE WHO WONDER

WHY THE WIDOW HAS SUCH A SCENTED SWAY

OVER OUR GOVERNOR.

FARLOW: THEY SEE NOT HER GUILE,

ONLY YOUR GULLIBILITY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN, GENTLEMEN,

BUT MY WHIP HAND IS FIRM ENOUGH.

PERHAPS YOU'VE MADE SOME PROGRESS

ON THE PURCHASE OF THE NEGRO PEDRO?

[BABY CRYING]

OH...

SHH SHH SHH SHH.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

OH...

SHH SHH SHH SHH SHH.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

SHH.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

MISTRESS SHARROW...

[CRYING CONTINUES]

JAMES: ALICE.

ALICE. [GASPS]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

OH, NO.

LOOK WHAT THIS HAS DONE TO ME,

WALKING OFF WITHOUT A CARE FOR MY PRECIOUS BABE.

WHAT HAS THIS DONE TO YOU, ALICE?

I--I--I'M MARRIED TO A TRAITOR.

A TRAITOR TO YOU?

ALL OF US.

SILAS?

DEAR ALICE, WHAT HAS SO BESET YOU?

SHE MIGHT SIT OUT IN THE SUN

AND TAKE A DRINK, LADY YEARDLEY,

I'M SURE MISTRESS SHARROW WILL BE RESTORED.

[BABY FUSSING]

JAMES: I CAN SEE HOW MUCH SILAS LOVES YOU,

AND I'M CERTAIN THAT HE WOULD DO NOTHING

TO PUT HIS FAMILY AT HARM.

DO YOU TAKE ME FOR SOME WEAKLING WOMAN

COWERING BEFORE NOTHING?

I HEARD HIM.

I WITNESSED THE VERY WORDS

OF BETRAYAL AS HE SPOKE THEM.

TODAY HE'S GONE FROM OUR FIELDS

TO MEET WITH PAMUNKEY.

JAMES-- SAY NOTHING,

OR ALL HELL WILL OPEN UP.

VERITY: AH, AIN'T YOU THE LUCKY ONE, ALICE SHARROW.

OH, MY MAN IS NOTHING BUT TRIPE AND SCUM.

HMM? YES, TRIPE AND SCUM.

I DESERVE MY FULL DUE, VERITY--

TRIPE AND SCUM AND CUNNING.

HA! AIN'T SEEN NO CUNNING.

THEN LOOK BEYOND THE DAYLIGHT, MY LADYBIRD.

WITHIN THE DARK, THERE WILL BE

SUCH RAW TRICKS, HUH?

HA HA HA!

DID WE NOT SEARCH THE FARAWAY MOUNTAINS

TOGETHER FOR YOUR BROTHER WHEN HE WAS LOST?

I'VE SHOWN YOU MY THANKS.

WORDS ARE NOT HONOR, SILAS.

PROMISES ARE NOT GREATNESS.

CHACROW, I AM HERE NOW TO FACE YOU.

NOW SHOW ME WHERE I CAN PAY MY RESPECTS,

RELEASE MY DEBT TO YOU WITHOUT BETRAYING

MY OWN PEOPLE.

MY KING ASKS ME, "WHY DO WE TRADE

"WITH SILAS SHARROW WHEN HE MAKES

EMPTY PLEDGES TO US?"

I TELL OPECHANCANOUGH THAT "SILAS SHARROW

"IS NOT POSSESSED BY GREED.

"HE WILL BE OUR FRIEND BECAUSE HIS GOD

"WILL SPEAK TO HIM.

"HE WILL NOT LEAVE US TODAY

WITHOUT GIVING US WHAT WE ASK."

CHACROW--

IF MY KING WANTED WAR,

HE WOULD STRIKE NOW BEFORE MORE ENGLISH COME.

WE LOVE PEACE.

IF YOU SPEAK TO US ABOUT YEARDLEY'S PLANS,

YOU WILL PRESERVE THE FRIENDSHIP

BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE PAMUNKEY.

I MUST GO NOW.

DO NOT LEAVE HERE WITH A REFUSAL BETWEEN US.

YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE, CHACROW.

I HOPE THAT WE CAN BE FRIENDS.

I WANT THAT WITH ALL OF MY HEART.

IF YOU HUMILIATE ME BEFORE MY KING

AND MY PEOPLE, THEN YOU, SILAS,

WILL BE MY ENEMY, HEY?

MEN: ♪ I AM A SAILOR ♪

♪ BRED AND BORN ♪

♪ SHOW ME DEATH ♪

♪ AND HEAR MY SCORN ♪

♪ NO MARINER EVER HID HIS HEAD ♪

♪ A SAILOR ♪

♪ A SAILOR BORN AND BRED ♪

HEY, HEY!

I KNOW MARINERS, MY LOVE, AND THEY KNOW ME.

MAN: LET'S HAVE ANOTHER DRINK!

MY TIME ON THE SHIPS

WILL REWARD US WELL ENOUGH.

[MEN CAROUSING]

AH. [COINS JINGLE]

MWAH!

NICHOLAS, DID WE NOT AGREE

THAT YOU WOULD QUIT PURCHASING

WHAT IS BEYOND YOUR MEANS?

DEBTS AND OBLIGATIONS,

DO THEY NOT MAKE US FEEBLE?

THERE IS MORE THAT I MUST TELL YOU.

IN ENGLAND,

THERE ARE TWO PRETTY, YOUNG MEN

WHO ARE RUNNING UP EXTRAVAGANT DEBTS IN MY NAME.

WORD OF YOUR YOUNG FAVORITES

WILL REACH THESE SHORES,

AND YOU'LL BE PERCEIVED A HOPELESS WEAKLING,

WEAK, WEAK.

NICHOLAS FARLOW-- WEAK.

AH. I SEE THE BRAINWORK IN YOUR FACE, LADYBIRD.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, RUTTER?

THE COMPANY MAY OWN THE CARGO,

BUT WHOSE HANDS DOES IT STAND IN, HUH?

MARINERS.

AND WHAT DOES A SAILOR LIKE BEST IN THE WORLD?

COIN. SO ARE YOU--

ARE YOU PROPOSING THAT WE ROB THE COMPANY?

THE BETTER MOST FOLK MIGHT HAVE THEIR TRADE,

LAMBKIN, BUT WE HAVE OURS,

A BACKSTAIRS OPERATION WHERE WE WILL SELL

WHAT WE BUY, AND WE'LL BE WASHED IN PRETTY PROFITS.

TWO FINE GENTLEMEN WILL PROVIDE ME WITH CARGO

TOMORROW AT DAWN AT DANCING POINT.

NOW, DON'T YOU SO MUCH AS THINK OF GIVING THEM

ONE LONE PENNY OF WHAT I HAVE TUCKED AWAY.

YOU WILL CALL ME A MAN AMONGST MEN,

AND YOU WILL PEPPER ME WITH THANKING KISSES.

RUTTER, HOW MUCH DID YOU GIVE THEM?

IT WAS NECESSARY.

THE CARGO WILL MAKE US PLENTIFUL.

HOW MUCH DID YOU GIVE THEM?

ALL OF IT.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

WHERE DID YOU GO TO YESTERDAY?

ALFRED ASH NEEDED SOME HELP

TO DIG UP AN OLD TREE ROOT.

I HEARD YOU SPEAKING

WITH THAT NATURAL CHACROW.

I SAW YOU TOGETHER

IN THE DARK WITH YOUR SECRETS.

ALICE, YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.

DO NOT SUGGEST THAT MY MIND IS CRACKED.

NO, BUT IT IS A MISTAKE,

WORDS BENT OUT OF SHAPE BY THE WIND.

TELL ME THE TRUTH-- ME, YOUR WIFE--

OR YOU'LL SEE, SILAS, I WOULD RATHER

TEAR DOWN THIS SHACK WITH MY OWN HANDS

THAN HAVE YOU LIE TO ME.

I REFUSE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I REFUSE TO LET ONE MORE DAY PASS

UNTIL YOU TELL ME THE TRUTH.

OH...

WE MUST TRADE MORE BEFORE THE SHIP LEAVES.

[BABY CRYING]

MUM, IT'S THE DOCTOR AT THE DOOR FOR YOU,

DR. PRIESTLY KNOCKING.

OH.

CHRISTOPHER: I WAS AWAKE THE NIGHT LONG,

THE NOTION OF IT UPON ME,

TO LOOK OUT THE SPOT WHERE SAMUEL WAS FOUND.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE WAS DISCOVERED?

THE SHARROWS REPORTED IT--

THE MARSHES BY DANCING POINT.

I DOUBT SAMUEL WAS A CATHOLIC.

THOSE TRINKETS WERE PLACED THERE

TO IMPLICATE HIM OR, WORSE,

TO LAY BLAME ONTO YOU.

I COULD NOT BEAR TO LET THAT HAPPEN.

JOCELYN...

DID YOU GIVE THOSE TOTEMS TO YEARDLEY?

LOOK.

THE SHARROWS HEADING OUT TO TRADE.

THERE.

HE WAS FOUND THERE.

IT IS ALL TOO GHOSTLY.

I CAN'T ABIDE SORROW. PLEASE TAKE ME BACK.

JOCELYN, IT PAINS ME TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT I BELIEVE THAT SAMUEL WAS KILLED.

I FEARED AS MUCH MYSELF.

I DO NOT KNOW WHO TO TELL

OR WHO TO TRUST.

I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HE WAS DOING HERE

ON THE RIVER.

OOF! OH!

[BABY CRYING]

[SIGHS]

ALICE, DID I EVER SEE

A SOUL AT SUCH EARNEST PRAYER?

I ONLY WITH TO SPEAK TO GOD,

NOT QUESTIONED LIKE A CRIMINAL.

WE MIGHT TALK TO GOD AT ANY TIME,

INDEED ALL OF THE TIME.

WHAT IS IT YOU SEEK THE LORD'S

GUIDANCE ABOUT, MISTRESS SHARROW?

YOU SUGGEST I'VE COMMITTED SOME WRONG?

I'M A FAITHFUL SERVANT.

WHO SAYS WE SHARROWS ARE NOT?

ALICE, YOU PROTEST YOUR INNOCENCE AS THOUGH

YOU WERE BEFORE THE LAW, NOT A FRIEND

WHO SEEKS TO COMFORT YOU.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

MARIA, I NEVER THANKED YOU

FOR THE KIND HELP YOU GAVE ME

WHEN OUR SILAS WAS BORN.

GIVE THE CHILD BACK, MARIA.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

♪ HE COMES, HE COMES ♪

♪ THE LIGHT FROM HEAVEN ♪

MARIA HAD CHILDREN OF HER OWN.

YES. I KNOW.

SHE WAS TAKEN FROM THEM.

YES. I KNOW.

MY CHILDREN ARE IN ENGLAND.

♪ THE GLORIOUS VISION ♪

♪ A CHILD TO SAVE US ♪

♪ REJOICE, REJOICE ♪

OH!

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.

GOVERNOR, I FEAR I WAS MISTAKEN.

I CONFIDED YOU MY THOUGHTS

ABOUT THE DOCTOR IN HASTE.

MY DISTRESS PERHAPS OUTRAN MY REASON.

AND WHY DO YOU DOUBT YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS, JOCELYN?

CHRISTOPHER SUGGESTED THAT SAMUEL WAS KILLED.

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT IF HE HIMSELF

WERE THE CULPRIT?

HE SORELY WISHES TO KNOW THE TRUTH

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND.

AND HE CARRIED ABOUT HIM EVERY ASPECT OF INNOCENCE.

YES.

THIS, WIDOW CASTELL,

IS THE READY TRADE OF A SPY.

MY SENSES, SIR, KNOW A LIAR AND A LIE.

YOU ACCUSED THE MAN, JOCELYN,

AND YOU WILL SEE THIS MATTER THROUGH

AT MY BIDDING.

SOON ENOUGH, HE WILL OFFER UP

THE NAME OF A SUSPECT, AND THEN WE WILL KNOW

THAT HE IS BUILDING A TRAP FOR US

TO STEP INTO.

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

MY WIFE, WHEN SHE FEASTS HER EYES UPON THIS,

SHE WILL SIT UPON MY LAP, STROKE MY BEARD, AND SAY,

"RUTTER, YOU'RE A MAN AMONGST MEN, AFTER ALL."

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

WHY--WHY MUST YOUR COMPANION

STAB AT THAT TREE SO?

WHAT'S THAT POOR STICK OF WOOD

EVER DONE TO HIM, EH?

MORROW HERE AIN'T GOT NO WORDS.

HE WAS BORN WITHOUT A VOICE...

OH. I JUST TOOK HIM FOR A QUIET SORT OF WAG.

SO MORROW HAS HIS OWN WAY OF CONVEYING

WHAT IT IS HE WISHES TO SAY.

YEAH. WELL, GENTLE SIRS...

[CLANG]

YOU HAVE MY COIN.

I HAVE ME GOODS.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL DEALINGS WELL DONE.

OH!

OH...ACH...

[SPITS]

[COUGHS]

MORROW BELIEVES YOU TO BE A DRUNKEN SOT

WHO MIGHT BOAST AND BRAG ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

AND SO PUT OUR LIVES AT RISK.

NO. NO, SIR. YOU HAVE ME SOLEMN WORD.

OH!

MORROW ONCE CUT OUT A MAN'S LIVER

FOR SPEAKING TOO FREELY ABOUT MATTERS

THAT BELONG IN THE SHADOWS.

MY LIPS WILL NOT UTTER NOR MUTTER

NOR CHAT NOR CHEW NOR GAB

NOR NOT SO MUCH AS SPEAK OF YOUR EXISTENCE.

WELL, THAT'S AS FAIR A PROMISE AS ANY MAN MAY GIVE.

UH! YEAH.

NOW IF I CAN JUST TAKE ME BOUNTY--

OH! OH...

[BLUBBERS]

AAH! THIS--

THIS WILL LAY YOUR PROMISE TO YOUR MEMORY,

LEST IT SHOULD TRY TO ESCAPE YOUR MIND.

YEAH.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT I'M OBLIGED

TO KEEP A PLEDGE THAT MY HUSBAND MADE?

I'M ONLY HERE TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE

THAT THE NEGRO PEDRO GAVE TO ME.

I SAW YOU GIVING TENDER COMFORT TO MISTRESS SHARROW.

WELL, THAT'S IN MY NATURE

TO GIVE COMFORT TO ANY WOMAN MIGHT NEED IT.

IS THAT SO?

MISTRESS CASTELL, I WISH--

WILL YOU PERMIT ME TO ASK YOUR PARDON...

FOR TAKING A HOLD OF YOUR ARM

SO FIERCELY?

MY EMOTIONS--

[CLEARS THROAT]

YOU HAVE SAMUEL'S FOLIO OF POETRY?

YOUR HUSBAND LOANED THEM TO PEDRO.

HE WISHES ME TO RETURN THEM TO YOU.

[PANTING]

I SAID TO THEM, I SAID,

"I PAID GOOD COIN FOR THIS CARGO,

"AND I MADE A PROMISE TO MY SWEET WIFE.

SO I AIN'T LEAVING WITHOUT IT."

WELL, SUCH A FIGHT CAME ABOUT,

BUT, MY LITTLE DILLYDOWN,

I MADE THEM EAT CROW.

HA HA!

MY LION HEART.

OH, VERITY,

MIGHT YOU SAY THAT AGAIN?

MY LION HEART.

CHACROW: IF YOU REFUSE OPECHANCANOUGH

THERE ARE MORE ENGLISHMEN WHO SEEK OUR FAVOR AND KINDNESS.

LET'S DO AS THE KING WISHES, HENRY.

[CLATTERING]

YES.

PAMUNKEY LOVE THE SHARROW BROTHERS.

YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE.

WE KNOW YOU LOVE US BECAUSE WE ARE WARM TO YOU.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF WE REFUSED YOU?

BUT YOU HAVE NO REASON TO REFUSE US, CHACROW.

I ASK YOU ONLY TO CONSIDER THIS

SO THAT YOU VALUE OUR ALLIANCE AS WE DO.

CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP HAS REPORTED TO ME

THAT VIRGINIA COMPANY CARGO HAS BEEN STOLEN.

HE BELIEVES ROGUE MARINERS

ARE TRADING WITH THE LOCALS.

THAT IS PIRACY, AND THE COMPANY

LOOKS DARKLY ON FREEBOOTING.

AIN'T THAT JUST GREED RUN AMOK.

YOU SPENT TIME AS A MARINER,

DIDN'T YOU, RUTTER?

YOU KNOW THESE MEN.

OH, SO PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE MY HUSBAND

TO ASK AMONG HIS OLD COMPANIONS,

HELP DISCOVER WHO THE SHAMEFUL VILLAINS

MIGHT BE.

QUITE A BEATING YOU'VE TAKEN THERE, RUTTER.

WHO WAS IT DID THIS TO YOU?

WELL, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BEAR.

COULD'VE BEEN A WALL, DOG,

WHIPPING POST.

MEREDITH RUTTER DRINKS BEYOND HIS SENSES.

THERE'S NO KNOWING WHERE THE WOUNDS COME FROM.

VIRGINIA RELIES ON HEALTHY TRADE.

BE SURE, I'LL CATCH ANY CRIMINAL

WHO DEFIES THE LAW.

I KNOW MARINERS.

THEY'LL THIEVE IF THEY CAN.

IF THEY WERE DISTURBED ON THE RIVER

WHILST LOADING THEIR SPOILS,

THEY WOULD KILL THE MAN HAPPENED UPON THEM.

WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF OURS

WHO KILLED RECORDER CASTELL?

YOU HAVE CHANGED, BROTHER.

NOT SO LONG AGO, YOU WERE

THE FAIR CONSCIENCE OF ALL JAMESTOWN.

I'M THE SAME MAN I ALWAYS WAS.

TOBACCO--ALSO KNOWN TO VANISH FROM THE SHIPS

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CARGO.

I'LL NOT WORK THE WHOLE YEAR ROUND

TO FILL A SAILOR'S POCKET.

WE'LL SEARCH DOWN THE RIVER TOMORROW AT DAWN

TOGETHER.

JOCELYN: THE WHOLE COLONY KNOWS HOW YOU

HAVE COVETED THE NEGRO, GOVERNOR.

MASSINGER OWNS THE FELLOW.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

ONE MAN HUNG OUT ON PUBLIC DISPLAY

TO SHOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POWER

NOR THE WIT TO OUTDO A MERE FARMER.

IT IS NOT THE NEGRO THAT MASTER MASSINGER

HAS TIED TO A TREE, SIR.

IT IS YOU.

IT IS YOU, WIDOW CASTELL,

YOU THAT UNDERMINES AND DISRESPECTS ME.

DEAR GOVERNOR, IT PAINS ME THAT YOU

DO NOT SEE THAT I VALUE YOU LIKE A SOVEREIGN.

PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU,

LET ME SHOW MY DEVOTION TO YOU.

WOULD YOU PERMIT ME TO MAKE A GIFT

OF THE NEGRO TO YOU?

[CHUCKLES]

I'VE SEEN YOU IN CHURCH. IT'S MARIA, ISN'T IT?

THAT IS THE NAME I WAS GIVEN.

THEN WHAT TO YOU CALL YOURSELF?

NJINGA.

IT IS THE NAME MY MOTHER CRIED.

IT IS THE NAME MY HUSBAND WHISPERED.

IT IS THE NAME I WILL BEAR WHEN I DIE.

REDWICK: THIS MAN IS ARRESTED UNDER A CHARGE OF THIEVING.

AND WHO PRESSED SUCH A CLAIM?

MY HUSBAND TREASURED THESE POEMS.

HE WOULD NEVER HAVE LET THEM OUT OF HIS HANDS.

REDWICK: DID YOU HAVE THESE IN YOUR POSSESSION?

I DID NOT STEAL THEM, MARSHALL.

WIDOW CASTELL'S MAID WITNESSED YOU WITH THE FOLIO.

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO RETURN IT, SIR.

YET YOU HAD IT STILL

WHEN THE BLACKSMITH TOOK IT FROM YOU.

I GAVE IT TO JAMES READ, MARSHALL.

POETRY STOLEN.

IT IS THOUGH HIS GRAVE HAS BEEN DEFILED.

REDWICK: WHO AM I TO BELIEVE-- A FINE-BORN ENGLISHWOMAN

OR A DIRT-WORKING BLACKAMOOR?

FARLOW: WHO IS IT THAT CAN TESTIFY

THE RECORDER GAVE YOU THESE WRITTEN WORDS?

NO ONE, SIR.

HIS KINDNESS TO ME WAS BETWEEN US TWO.

THEN YOU ARE GUILTY.

MASSINGER: THIS MAN BELONGS TO ME.

I WILL PUNISH HIM FOR ANY HARMS.

REDWICK: CRIME IS THE LAW'S EMPLOYMENT, MASTER MASSINGER.

I BEG THE COURT FOR TRUE REPARATION.

LET THIS MAN OUGHT TO HAVE HIS TONGUE BORED,

HIS BOTH ARMS BROKEN.

LET HIM WALK BETWEEN 40 MILITIAMEN WITH CLUBS

AND THEN HAVE HIM CAST OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS.

THAT, GENTLEMEN, SEEMS TO ME TO BE

REASONABLE JUSTICE FOR THE WRONG

INFLICTED UPON MY HUSBAND.

MA'AM, A NOBLE MAN NEVER LIES.

YEARDLEY: WIDOW CASTELL, IS THERE NOTHING

THAT CAN PLACATE YOUR CLAIM FOR JUSTICE?

THE ANGOLANS ARE SO VERY VALUABLE TO US, YOU SEE?

IF THE NEGRO BELONGED TO YOU, SIR,

I BELIEVE I MAY FOREGO THE QUITTANCE I AM DUE

SINCE YOU ARE OUR GOVERNOR.

MADAM, THE LAW IS NOT SO WEAK

AS TO BEND TO YOUR EVERY--

ENOUGH!

YOU, YOU, AND YOU...

WE WILL TALK AND SEAL THIS MATTER.

THE MARSHALL HAS ACCUSED THE MAN OF A CRIME.

HE WILL BE EXECUTED.

YOU HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE, MASSINGER.

I WILL TRADE YOU THOSE TWO MEN THERE

FOR PEDRO.

THEN I AM FORCED TO DEAL.

MARK THIS, GOVERNOR.

THIS VARLET WON YOU THE NEGRO...

BUT WITH IT COMES A RACK OF HATE

THAT WILL STRETCH TO THE VERY END

OF YOUR LIVING DAYS.

REDWICK: PEDRO, THE CHARGE IS DROPPED.

FROM THIS DAY FORTH, YOU BELONG TO OUR GOVERNOR.

AND DO YOU SEE NOW, MARIA?

HEH, THE GOVERNOR LOVES ME.

HE WILL NOT LET ME DIE.

HE WILL NOT LET MASTER MASSINGER KEEP ME.

HE OWNS ME NOW.

I WILL MAKE HIM HAPPY, AND IT WILL BEGIN.

IN TIME, WE WILL BE FREE.

A GIFT. YES.

REDWICK: I EXPECT THERE IS A REASON YOU COVET

THIS NEGRO SO WELL, GOVERNOR.

THE OTHERS LOOK UP TO PEDRO.

I SEE EVERY ADVANTAGE IN SUCH A MAN.

ENGLAND CRAVES TOBACCO.

THAT MEANS OUR YIELD WILL NEED TO GROW.

THAT MEANS WE'LL NEED LABOR,

OBEDIENT LABOR.

IMAGINE WHEN OUR FIELDS ARE FULL OF MEN SUCH AS PEDRO.

WHEN I THINK OF THE PURPOSE OF VIRGINIA,

THAT'S WHAT I SEE.

VERITY: HERE WE ARE.

NOW, THAT'S A FAIR PRICE FOR YOU. HERE.

OHH...

KEEP THIS BETWEEN US, YEAH?

THERE YOU ARE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

VERITY, VERITY...

SHOULD WE BRING THE MARSHALL'S ATTENTION

TO US OR THE MARINERS',

THEY WILL FEED MY LIVER TO THE WORMS.

SWEETPEA, WE'RE ONLY SELLING

A FEW STOLEN STOCKINGS. NO.

IT'S BREECHES, CANDLESTICKS.

IT'S NO MORE THAN OUR FAIR PICKINGS

FROM THE THIEVING TRADE

THAT THE VIRGINIA COMPANY DO.

ALICE.

ALICE-- LET GO OF ME.

I WENT TO TELL CHACROW

THAT I CANNOT BETRAY MY OWN PEOPLE.

I WOULD NEVER ACT AS AN INFORMANT.

OH, SILAS...

WHEN YOU TOLD CHACROW THAT YOU REFUSED,

DID HE ACCEPT IT?

CHACROW IS A MAN OF HONOR,

AS GOOD AS ANY THAT I KNOW.

ALICE, YOU HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANYONE

ABOUT THIS, HAVE YOU?

NO. I WOULDN'T.

THANK YOU.

OH, NO, NO.

WE'VE GOT MORE CARGO.

MEREDITH: MY FINE FRIENDS, ME WIFE AND ME,

WE'RE NOT CUT OUT FOR PIRATING.

WE HAVEN'T GOT THE BOWELS FOR IT.

WE SAIL TO ENGLAND IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

WE WANT TO TRADE BEFORE THEN.

TOMORROW AT DAWN. AYE.

[PAT PAT]

GIVE ME THE MONEY.

I'M TO GO OUT AT DAWN TOMORROW

AND COLLECT MORE CARGO.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH MARINERS.

WELL, IT SEEMS THEY AIN'T DONE WITH ME.

[DOG BARKING]

MEREDITH. MEREDITH!

THE CARGO. WAKE UP.

OH...

[EXHALES]

[EXHALES] WHO'S THERE?

[PANTING]

OH! NO!

UH...UH...

[WHIMPERING]

DO YOU KILL A WOMAN? UHH!

EH...

SEE? I WALK BACK TO THE RIVER.

I WILL LEAVE YOU BE.

DON'T YOU GO.

DON'T YOU GO, HENRY SHARROW.

HE WILL KILL ME.

HUH! UGH...

UHH... UH!

[GRUNTING]

OH...

OH! UH! YAH! AGH!

RRGH! AH!

UH...

[PANTING]

[GASPING]

REDWICK: BRING HIM THROUGH!

[GASPS]

[DOG BARKING]

MM...

OH...

REDWICK: LET US OUT THE TRUTH.

WHICH MAN HERE IS YOUR COMPANION--

THIS FELLA, HIM, WHICH OF THEM?

UHH...

AGH...

GET HIM UP.

WHO IS IT?

WHO IS IT HERE IN JAMESTOWN

YOU'RE INTENT ON TRADING WITH?

MASTER SHARROW BELIEVES THE RECORDER

DISTURBED THESE VILLAINS AT THEIR FOUL BUSINESS

AND THEY KILLED HIM LEST HE REPORT.

GENTLEMEN, IF THIS MAN IS NOT TENDED SOON,

HE WILL BLEED TO DEATH.

BLACKSMITH.

[GRUNTING]

DECLARE YOUR GUILT, YOU DEVIL.

ADMIT THE MURDER.

ADMIT THE MURDER, OR YOU WILL SEE

WHAT OUR AUTHORITY LOOKS LIKE.

BEHOLD THE JUSTICE INFLICTED UPON THE MAN

WHO KILLED RECORDER CASTELL.

AAH! AAH! AAH!

AAH! AAH! NO.

MERCY. MERCY.

[PANTING]

DO YOU SEE?

DO YOU WITNESS WHAT MERCILESS AUTHORITY

OUR GOVERNANCE IS BUILT UPON?

WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT IN THE WOODS

THAT HOUR, MRS. RUTTER?

WATER. I WAS FETCHING WATER.

DO YOU IMAGINE THE WIND HAS BLOWN MY WITS AWAY?

WATER? WATER?

AIN'T I THE ONE WHO HAD MY THROAT CUT, HUH?

THERE WERE OTHERS THERE, THE SHARROWS.

ASK THEM.

VERITY, MY AX IS ALL THAT I HAD.

I BELIEVED THE MAN WOULD KILL YOU...

I AIN'T BLAMING YOU.

AND IF I HAD NOT STRUCK HIM HARD ENOUGH--

UH, SILAS, I'M NOTHING BUT GRATEFUL.

[PANTING]

HENRY: NOW, THAT'D TELL US WHY YOU USED YOUR AX, SILAS.

WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR FISTS TO THE FACE

OF A MAN BLEEDING ON THE GROUND?

I AIN'T CONDEMNING YOU, BROTHER.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME IS

I KNOW I'M A BEAST.

LET'S GO.

WHY DID FARLOW INSIST THAT WE ALL MUST

CONCLUDE THE MARINER KILLED SAMUEL?

CHRISTOPHER, YOU SOUND SUSPICIOUS.

FOR GOOD REASON, JOCELYN.

I LEARNED FROM ENGLAND THAT FARLOW IS FOLLOWED

BY A PLAGUE OF DEBTS.

IF THERE IS A SPY AMONGST US,

WOULDN'T HE BE BOUGHT BY SPANISH GOLD?

I THOUGHT YOU PREFERRED TO IGNORE POLITICS.

WHAT MATTERS TO ME IS THAT YOU ARE SAFE.

HUH.

DEAR CHRISTOPHER.

YEARDLEY: PEDRO!

MASTER.

YOU AND I, PEDRO,

WE'LL BECOME TRUSTED COMPANIONS,

NO NEED FOR THE CLUB OR THE LASH.

A PLANTATION SUCH AS THIS CAN ONLY WORK WITH HARMONY.

WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?

YOU WILL SEE MY THANKS IN EVERY DAY'S WORK, SIR.

PEACE AND PROSPERITY CAN ONLY COME

WITH OBEDIENCE, NOBLE PEDRO.

THE ANGOLANS HERE RESPECT YOU.

I TRUST THAT YOU WILL BECOME

MY VOICE AMONGST THEM.

I WILL LOOK TO YOU TO TEACH THEM

THAT WE WILL ALL ENJOY THE BEST OF BLESSINGS

IF THEY LOVE THEIR MASTER.

WE WILL LABOR, SIR,

UNTIL THE DAY MIGHT COME WHEN PEDRO

MIGHT HAVE HIS OWN FARM.

I TREASURE YOUR PRIDE, PEDRO.

IT'S WHY YOU'RE SO ESTEEMED TO ME.

ESTEEMED? VALUABLE.

THE WOMAN, MARIA,

SHE KNOWS WELL HOW TO FARM TOBACCO.

WHAT A BENEFIT THE ANGOLAN WOMEN ARE

TO OUR FIELDS HERE.

MY WIFE LOVES HER AS AN INTIMATE.

YOU SHOULD SPEAK TO HER.

TELL HER THAT WHEN HER MASTER PASSES,

SHE MIGHT... BOW MORE LOWLY.

CASSIDY WILL SAIL IN A DAY OR TWO,

AND THEN IT'LL BE DONE.

I'M SORRY, VERITY.

OUR MONEY IS LOST.

BUT WE SWALLOWED NO MOLTEN LEAD.

I SAW WHERE THE MARINERS HID THE CHEST OF CARGO.

WE DARE NOT GO NEAR IT.

NO.

WE WON'T SO MUCH AS THINK ON THAT CARGO

EVER AGAIN.

EVER.

SILAS, YOU WERE PROTECTING VERITY.

ANY GOOD MAN WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME...

BECAUSE WHATEVER IT IS WE THINK WE HAVE HERE,

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT.

IT WAS A STRANGE SORT OF CHARITY

THAT YOU SHOWED TO PEDRO

BUT A GOOD TURN ALL THE SAME...

AND A BENEFIT TO ME

THAT I MUST THANK YOU FOR,

WIDOW CASTELL.
