HENRY SHARROW,

A MAN KNOWN TO TRADE MANY FINE GOODS,

YOU WILL BE WELCOMED INTO OUR FAMILY.

WINGANUSKE--HER KNOWLEDGE

OF TOBACCO, CORN, BEANS, SUNFLOWERS, MANY PLANTS--

SHE WILL BE A GOOD WIFE FOR THE SHARROWS.

YOU WILL BRING CHILDREN TO HONOR BOTH PEOPLES.

HEY.

[CHEERING]

VERITY: WHAT KIND OF WELCOME MIGHT THIS PLACE

GIVE A PAMUNKEY WOMAN?

HMM.

IT'S OUR DUTY TO HELP HER, VERITY.

A PAGAN WEDDING.

I FEAR WE HAVE SO BETRAYED OUR PRECIOUS FAITH.

SHARROW WILL MAKE CHRISTIAN VOWS, MY DEAR,

BUT THIS WEDDING MAY PROVE POLITIC FOR US.

HOW IS IT POLITIC, GOVERNOR,

TO DILUTE ENGLISH BLOOD?

WE WILL TURN IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE.

SHARROW IS WELL-PLACED NOW TO SERVE OUR NEEDS.

SURELY, GOD WANTS US TO DO THE GOOD WORK

OF SAVING HER SOUL, ALL OF THEIR SOULS,

FROM SATAN'S DARKNESS.

CHRISTOPHER: DID EVER MARRIAGE TRANSFORM A MAN?

IT IS NOT HENRY SHARROW'S SOUL THAT IS QUICKENED

BUT RATHER HIS BALLS. HA HA!

I SEE BEYOND YOUR QUIPS TO CRY DOWN ROMANCE.

OUR HOPES CAME BY THE WORST OF CIRCUMSTANCES,

BUT THEY ARE HERE UPON US ALL THE SAME.

I WILL NOT LET YOU HIDE

FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF MARRIAGE.

[FIRE CRACKLING]

OH. OH, THEY ARE

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I HOPED FOR.

WHAT IS THE CHARGE?

OH, LET'S SUPPOSE IT'S A DEBT ALREADY HONORED.

VERITY: JAMES READ,

THE SHIP IS SIGHTED OFF THE COAST.

IT WILL BE HERE IN AN HOUR.

MEREDITH: AH! HA HA HA! CORINA! CORINA!

SHE'S GONNA TAKE ONE LOOK AT ME

AND TURN BACK FOR ENGLAND.

HERE. YOU COME WITH ME.

WHAT SHALL I SAY TO HER?

I AIN'T PRACTICED IN COMPLIMENTS.

WHEN YOU SEE HER ON THE WHARF,

YOU KISS HER ON THE CHEEK,

AND YOU TELL HER SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

OH... OH.

♪ CORINA, CORINA ♪

RIGHT.

VERITY: JAMES, HOLD HARD.

AWW...

HERE.

THAT GIRL IS GOING TO THROW HER HEART AT YOU.

YOU TOOK THAT FROM THE STOLEN CARGO, DIDN'T YOU?

DIDN'T WE PROMISE WE WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO THAT CHEST?

SHH. THEM'S A SHRIMP'S THOUGHTS.

DON'T YOU WANT JAMES READ

TO LOOK FINE FOR HIS NEW LOVE?

WOMAN, YOU WOULD GIVE A PHILOSOPHER A HEADACHE.

AH. OH...

DON'T YOU LOOK HANDSOME, JAMES READ.

AIN'T THE SUN SHINING A BLESSING DOWN

FOR YOUR WIFE ARRIVING?

AIN'T THIS THE HAPPIEST DAY, MUM?

AIN'T THEM THE PRETTIEST FLOWERS?

HALT YOUR BABBLE, CHILD.

DOES YOUR TONGUE KNOW NO REST?

A BROOCH, A HAIRPIN?

YOU ARE ALL FINERY TODAY, JOCELYN.

AM I? I MADE NO EFFORT.

OH, YOU DID, MUM.

AIN'T IT SO PLEASING TO SEE YOU TAKE

A DELIGHT IN BEAUTIFYING.

SHALL WE WALK DOWN TO THE WHARF?

A SHIP IS DUE TO ARRIVE BRINGING MORE MAIDS FOR MARRIAGE.

THE WHARF? NO.

NO. I WISH TO REMAIN HERE.

REDWICK: WE WISH TO COMPLIMENT YOU, SHARROW,

ON SUCH A CHOICE MARRIAGE.

WHY IS IT YOUR CONGRATULATIONS

FEEL LIKE A PESTILENCE?

HA HA HA!

WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE ADVANTAGE

THAT SUCH A MATCH BRINGS OUR SETTLEMENT, HENRY.

I SEE NO BENEFIT OF THE KIND

THAT APPEALS TO COMPANY MEN.

YOU SLANDER YOURSELF, SHARROW.

WE BELIEVE CHACROW WILL BE OPEN

TO AN ENTICEMENT FROM A BROTHER SUCH AS YOU.

WELL, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE PAMUNKEY

AS WE DO.

SILAS: CHACROW WON'T BE BOUGHT.

YEARDLEY: A FAT PURSE WILL PURCHASE ANY MAN BREATHING.

TALK TO HIM, HENRY.

SHOW HIM FAVORS AND THEN ASK HIM

IF HE'LL ASSIST US.

THAT'S A FINE WEDDING GIFT

TO OFFER MY WIFE-- TO BETRAY HER BROTHER.

YEARDLEY: YOUR WIFE IS PAMUNKEY.

EVERY MAN'S FIRST LOYALTY IS TO ENGLAND.

HELP US, AND YOU'LL KEEP YOUR LICENSE TO TRADE.

IS THAT STARK ENOUGH FOR A MAN PREFERS A BLUNT TONGUE?

I HAD JAMES READ MAKE THEM.

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE I TOLD HIM TO MAKE THEM SO.

YOU MISTAKE ME, PEDRO, IF YOU BELIEVE

MY AFFECTIONS MIGHT BE BOUGHT

WITH THESE MALUNGAS THAT ARE MADE HERE.

NO.

YOU MISTAKE ME, MARIA.

YOUR DAUGHTER,

YOUR YOUNGEST SON,

YOUR OLDEST SON, AND YOUR HUSBAND.

YOU WEAR THEM, AND EVERY DAY,

THEY WILL BE WITH YOU.

UH!

I HOPED YOU MIGHT LIKE TO DECLARE

YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR KINDRED PROUDLY

SO THE WORLD CAN SEE IT.

LOOK.

[RIP]

[KISS]

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

NO SIGNS FROM THE DOCTOR

OF ANY CATHOLIC SYMPATHIES, JOCELYN?

HE DISPLAYS ONLY DOTING EYES AND WOOING WORDS.

THEN YOU MUST MAKE HIM MORE SECURE

IN YOUR AFFECTIONS.

HOW CAN I? I SMILE AND SIMPER AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

CALL ON HIM AFTER DARK.

SUGGEST HOW DISAFFECTED YOU ARE

WITH THE GOVERNANCE HERE.

SIR, WHY ARE YOU SO CONVINCED

THAT CHRISTOPHER IS THE SPANISH SPY?

THAT'S A FINE DOUBLET YOU'RE WEARING, READ.

TAKE IT OFF.

READ, TO WEAR GARMENTS BEYOND YOUR STATION

WILL BRING THE MOST SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

TAKE IT OFF.

DEAR GOVERNOR, MASTER READ CARRIED THE BODY

OF HIS WIFE-TO-BE INTO CHURCH JUST NOW.

HE'S GRIEVING.

MIGHT SOME ALLOWANCES BE MADE?

READ, THE NEXT TIME I'M ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT,

IF THAT GARMENT IS ON YOUR BACK,

THERE WILL BE A RECKONING.

GOD, THAT BLACKSMITH,

HE VEXES MY EVERY INSTINCT.

THAT BULL HEAD OF HIS REFUSES AUTHORITY.

[EXHALES]

I SUSPECT DR. PRIESTLY, JOCELYN, BECAUSE

HE IS A HIGHLY REGARDED APOTHECARY.

HE COULD ENJOY A FINE PRACTICE IN LONDON,

SO WHY DOES HE COME HERE AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME

AS THE SPANISH COVET OUR COLONY?

WHISPERS, JOCELYN.

TONIGHT SWEET WHISPERS

WILL WINKLE OUT THE TRUTH.

YOU DO NOT INTEND TO TAKE THE DOUBLET OFF, DO YOU?

CORINA TRAVELED ACROSS THE OCEAN

WITH HOPE IN HER SOUL...

AND SHE DIED

ONE DAY FROM SHORE.

I SHALL WEAR IT FOR HER.

YOU ARE A LESSON IN MOURNING, MASTER READ,

SUCH DEVOTION FOR A MAID

YOU HAVEN'T AS MUCH AS MET,

BUT ANY LIVING, BREATHING MAN

ROBBED SO CRUELLY OF HIS WOMAN

MUST FEEL A STAB OF AFFLICTION

OR RESENTMENT.

I HAD TO LOOK AT THAT WOMAN'S LOVELINESS

AND ACCEPT THAT I WOULD NEVER FEEL HER BREATH

ON MY BREATH.

I'D NEVER KNOW HER FINGERS ON ME...

NEVER TASTE HER SWEAT WITH MY TONGUE.

I WOULD ASK YOU TO LEAVE ME BE TONIGHT.

[INHALES]

MY SPIRIT IS DANGEROUSLY BROKEN.

PROMISE YOU WILL NOT LOVE ME.

THERE AIN'T NO NEED FOR SUCH A PROMISE.

[DOOR OPENS]

MERCY: MUM, WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING HERE

WHEN YOU HAVE THE SWEETEST BEDSHEETS IN ALL OF JAMESTOWN?

THERE AIN'T NO LOGIC IN IT.

IS THERE A LOGIC IN IT, MISTRESS CASTELL?

I, UM--I CAME OUT TO WALK ON MY OWN

BECAUSE I COULD NOT SLEEP.

BUT HERE YOU ARE.

YOU'RE COZY AS A HIBERNATING DORMOUSE.

IT IS UNSEEMLY FOR ME TO BE FOUND

HERE ON THE GROUND.

I TRUST YOU WILL MAKE NO MENTION OF IT.

I'M ONLY GRATEFUL, MUM, THAT NO ONE ELSE

DISCOVERED YOU ON YOUR OWN,

SUCH AS A MAN.

MEREDITH: CONSIDER THIS.

IF THE GOVERNOR SHOULD WALK THROUGH THEM GATES

AND SEE YOU WEARING THE RED DOUBLET--

WILL YOU JUST TAKE IT OFF?

I AIN'T READY.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL, JAMES.

I DON'T JUST MEAN THE DOUBLET.

MASSINGER: HOW DID YOU COME BY YOUR DAINTY DOUBLET,

MASTER READ?

I BOUGHT IT, SIR,

FROM A MARINER SHIPPED OUT A FEW WEEKS AGO.

A SAILOR?

THERE'S ONE CRIME FOR WEARING THE DOUBLET,

ANOTHER ONE IF IT'S STOLEN CARGO.

IT WAS THE MARINER'S OWN, SIR.

HIS WIFE WAS A SEAMSTRESS BACK IN ENGLAND.

HE SOLD IT THAT HE MIGHT BUY MORE DRINK.

WHAT WAS THAT MAN'S NAME?

CEDAR OR SEABALD. SEACROW?

SEEMING. SEEMS. A NAME SUCH AS THAT, SIR.

DON'T BELIEVE WHEN OUR GOVERNOR RETURNS,

YOU WILL STILL BE WEARING THE GARMENT.

HE LOATHES YOU PLENTY, READ.

SILAS: HA HA HA!

OH, WINGANUSKE.

[SPEAKS ALGONQUIN]

SHE SAYS YOU WILL PREPARE FOOD WITH HER NOW.

WELL, I'LL TEACH YOU WHAT WE PREPARE LATER.

[SPEAKS ALGONQUIN]

[SPEAKS ALGONQUIN]

PEPPER: UH, ALICE, SHE'S--

WINGANUSKE WANTS YOU TO UNDERSTAND

THAT SHE'S THE SENIOR WIFE,

SO SHE WILL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DAY.

SILAS: IT IS THE PAMUNKEY WAY.

I THINK IT WILL NEED SOME EXPLAINING.

YEAH. I THINK IT WILL.

OH. HO HO HO!

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? HA! HEE HEE!

AH!

UH!

PEDRO: LADY YEARDLEY, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

MM-HMM?

WHAT IS THE WORD FOR THIS SOUND?

"JANGLE."

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WORD. HEH HEH!

UH, LADY YEARDLEY,

THE GOVERNOR, HE LIKES ME VERY MUCH

BECAUSE I AM THE BEST.

WELL, HE TREATS ME KINDLY...

I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU APPRECIATE

YOUR GOOD FORTUNE, PEDRO.

BUT HE HAS NOT YET NAMED THE TIME

WHEN I WOULD BE FREE. OH?

THE ENGLISHMEN HERE ALL HAVE THE YEAR

WHEN THEY WILL BE GRANTED THEIR OWN FARMS.

THEN ASK MY HUSBAND.

ASK HIM, AND HE WILL TELL YOU.

YOU'RE VERY KIND.

WHERE DID YOU GET SUCH CHARMING BANGLES, MARIA?

THEY WERE A GIFT TO ME FROM PEDRO.

OH.

HE WANTED THEM TO BE BEAUTIFUL,

AND THEY ARE.

THEY ARE.

UH...

NO, NO, NO.

WINGANUSKE, THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO THINGS HERE.

WE LIKE ONIONS IN THE POT.

YOU THREW MY ONIONS AWAY.

UH...

[DOOR OPENS]

MASTER READ, YOU LEFT ME ALONE IN THE DARK.

WHAT KIND OF MAN DOES SUCH A THING?

YOU WERE SAFE ENOUGH. I MADE SURE OF THAT.

THE MARSHALL FOUND ME ASLEEP THERE.

IF HE TELLS THE GOVERNOR--

I MUST FIND SOME WAY TO GAIN THE GOVERNOR'S FAVOR.

WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME?

BECAUSE THEN YOU'D HAVE SEEN ME WEEPING.

I COULDN'T BEAR THAT. NEITHER COULD YOU.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

MY OWN SORROW MUST HAVE OVERCOME ME.

IF THERE IS EVEN A HINT THAT I HAVE DEALINGS

WITH A BLACKSMITH, IT WOULD BE THE RUIN OF ME.

WELL, I'M GRATEFUL

FOR YOUR DEALINGS WITH A BLACKSMITH...

AND FOR YOUR APPETITE FOR TOUCH...

AND FOR THE COMFORT THAT YOU GAVE TO ME,

WHETHER YOU INTENDED IT OR NOT.

YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULD NOT--

I'M NOT BREAKING MY PROMISE.

THEN TELL ME YOU'LL FORGET.

NO.

NO. I WON'T FORGET.

I'LL TREASURE IT,

BUT NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW FROM ME

THE TENDERNESS THAT WE GAVE TO EACH OTHER.

[DOOR OPENS]

MAN: FORGIVE US.

WE MUST BURY CORINA.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SNIFFLES]

[SOBS]

CHACROW: HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING MARRIED

TO MY SISTER, HENRY?

WELL, SHE KNOWS TOBACCO.

THAT AIN'T WHAT CHACROW'S ASKING.

HEE HEE HEE!

SHE KNOWS HER WAY AROUND THE DARK.

WE WILL CALL YOU LEAPING HENRY.

THAT IS YOUR NAME NOW.

[SPEAKS ALGONQUIN]

LEAPING HENRY.

[LAUGHTER]

HENRY: SHE SAID SHE'S KNOWN SOME BEDFELLOWS.

THAT IS COMMON FOR OUR WOMEN LIKE WINGANUSKE.

BEFORE SHE MARRIES, SHE GAINS PRACTICE.

WHY NOT? SO MUCH BETTER FOR YOU, HENRY.

MIGHT IT BE ANY OF THESE MEN HERE?

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

[LAUGHTER]

LEAPING HENRY.

[LAUGHTER]

HA HA HA.

LEAPING HENRY.

[SIGHS]

LEAPING HENRY.

CHACROW MEANT NO HARM.

NO MAN LAUGHS AT ME AND TRIUMPHS.

SIR, SINCE HENRY SHARROW HAS RETURNED WITH HIS BRIDE,

YOUR FACE HAS BEEN A MASTERPIECE OF BLISTERS.

THE SHARROWS PAY TRIBUTE TO OPECHANCANOUGH.

SO MANY INDIAN KINGS REVERE AND VENERATE HIM,

AND WE'RE SU--

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CONVERTING THEM.

SIR, DID THE SHARROWS NOT SHOW YOU THE MEANS

BY WHICH YOU MIGHT WEAKEN OPECHANCANOUGH?

TRADE.

MIGHT I SUGGEST THAT YOU INDULGE THE KING

IN THE VAST AMOUNT OF CHATTELS THAT HE WISHES FOR?

TELL HIM THAT HE CAN PAY LATER.

SAY THAT THIS MARRIAGE HAS BROUGHT OUR TWO PEOPLES

INTO GREATER TRUST.

FEED HIM AND FEED HIM

UNTIL HE CANNOT POSSIBLY PAY WHAT HE OWES.

THEN CALL HIS DEBTS.

HOW CUNNING BECOMES YOU, JOCELYN.

THE BLACKSMITH, JOCELYN.

AVOID HIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

TELL THE GOVERNOR I'LL DO AS HE ASKS.

I'LL BAIT CHACROW INTO BETRAYING HIS OWN PEOPLE.

THAT'S A STARK CHANGE OF HEART, SHARROW.

WHAT BROUGHT IT ABOUT?

SEE, THE MAN WHO LOVES BETRAYAL BEST

IS THE MAN WHO FEELS HE'S BEEN BETRAYED,

AND YOU SO NEWLY MARRIED.

YOU ARE THE MASTER OF DARKNESS, MARSHALL.

WHEN WERE YOU DECEIVED, AT YOUR MOTHER'S TIT?

YOU'LL KNOW MY SWORD ONE DAY, SHARROW.

I PROMISE YOU THAT.

TELL THE GOVERNOR I'M READY.

VERITY: LION HEART, WASN'T IT OUR COIN

PAID FOR THAT CARGO STILL UP IN THE WOODS?

VERITY, WE AGREED.

VERITY, WE PLEDGED NEVER TO GO NEAR IT.

CONSIDER THIS MOLTEN LEAD.

BUT WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO IT, HUH?

IT'LL BE DISCOVERED BY SOME DOLT

OR SOME RASCAL, AND THEN THEY

WILL ENJOY THE BENEFIT FOR WHAT WE'VE PAID FOR,

OR IT'LL SINK INTO THE QUAG,

AND IT'LL ROT, OR RATS'LL EAT IT.

WOULD THAT BE A SHAMEFUL WASTE OF WHAT IS OURS?

HMM, THERE'S SOME TRUTH IN THAT,

I WILL CONFESS.

SO WHERE'S THE HARM IN US GOING UP THERE

AND TAKING IT SO THAT WE MIGHT

PUT IT SOMEWHERE IT WON'T BE FOUND

SO THAT AT SOME OTHER TIME, IT WILL BE OURS

WHEN ALL THESE TROUBLES ARE FORGOTTEN?

SOME OTHER TIME. THAT'S WISE.

WE'LL GO TONIGHT.

VERITY: NOW HURRY UP.

UM, HOLD UP.

GOT IT? OH!

HOLD UP.

HUH.

MASTER MASSINGER, SIR,

WE WERE JUST PASSING BY, AND LOOK WHAT WE FOUND

HERE LYING OUT IN THE WOODS,

JUST LYING THERE.

THAT SOMETHING, SIR?

IT WAS A FOOL'S PLOY TO GIVE THE BLACKSMITH

THE RED DOUBLET.

IF THE MARSHALL OR THE GOVERNOR

WERE TO DISCOVER IT WERE YOU THAT WERE

TRADING WITH THE ROGUE MARINERS, WELL--

BUT THE MARSHALL AND THE GOVERNOR

AIN'T HERE WITH YOU.

YOU TOLD ANYBODY ELSE THIS IS HERE?

NO, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US, MASTER MASSINGER?

THIS CARGO HERE, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE

FOR YOU, SO I'LL TAKE IT.

YOU'LL FORGET ABOUT IT, EH?

IT'S ONLY ONE CHEST.

VERITY-- HUH?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT IT? YOU HAVE WEALTH ENOUGH.

GET YOU GONE!

MEREDITH: COME ON.

REDWICK: OUR GOVERNOR IS SO PLEASED WITH THE MARRIAGE

OF WINGANUSKE TO ONE OF OUR FARMERS

THAT HE WISHES TO PROVIDE A NEW KIND OF TRADE.

[CHACROW SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

I TOLD OUR GOVERNOR IT'S A SIGN OF OUR BOND,

PAMUNKEY AND THE ENGLISH,

THAT WE WOULD TRADE BY PROMISSORIES.

[SPEAKS ALGONQUIN]

"PROMISSORIES"?

A PROMISE FROM OPECHANCANOUGH TO PAY

AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE.

CHACROW: OPECHANCANOUGH...

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

HENRY: BECAUSE WE ARE SO SURE OF EACH OTHER NOW.

CHACROW GAVE US THIS.

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

REDWICK: IT'S WHAT WE ENGLISH CALL A TEMPORARY KINDNESS.

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

REDWICK: WE WILL PROVIDE OPECHANCANOUGH

WITH SPLENDID, ENGLISH TREASURES,

AS MANY AS HE WISHES FOR.

WE ARE ALL WITNESSES TO THIS PLEDGE.

OPECHANCANOUGH IS A MAN OF GREAT HONOR.

HE WILL NOT FAIL US.

[OPECHANCANOUGH SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

CHACROW: "I DO NOT UNDERSTAND TEMPORARY KINDNESS...."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

"BUT I WILL TAKE THESE GIFTS."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

CHACROW: "WE GAVE YOU FOOD AND OFFERED A PIPE, NOT ARROWS."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

CHACROW: "THE REAL PEOPLE TRIED TO WELCOME YOU..."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

"BUT YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISES."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

CHACROW: "PERHAPS THIS TEMPORARY KINDNESS

IS A NEW BEGINNING AND YOUR HONOR NOW RESTORED."

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIN]

CHACROW: "I LIKE MY TABLE VERY MUCH."

CHACROW, DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PROMISE.

TELL OPECHANCANOUGH TO NOT ACCEPT

THIS KINDNESS, AS IT SEEMS.

I HAVE SEEN MY BROTHER PLOTTING WITH THE MARSHALL.

THERE IS A TRAP IN THIS. I KNOW IT.

SO NOW YOU ARE OUR FRIEND, SILAS.

I ONLY WISH TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.

I ONLY WISH TO LIVE BY HONOR.

GO WITH MY RESPECT.

SO YOU ARE PLEASED WITH MY WORK,

GOVERNOR, SIR?

YOU KNOW WHEN I'M NOT PEDRO.

THEN I AM HAPPY

BECAUSE IT ALL DEPENDS UPON THAT.

SIR, WHEN WILL YOU GIVE THE TIME

WHEN PEDRO WILL BE FREE?

YOU ARE FREE, PEDRO.

YOU'RE AT LIBERTY TO ASK ANY QUESTION

YOU WISH OF YOUR MASTER.

YOU HAVE NO FEAR OF PUNISHMENT,

AND YOU ARE ABLE TO WALK

WITH ME INTO TOWN.

NOW, IS IT NOT A GOOD LIFE?

OH, IT IS A GOOD LIFE, SIR,

BUT THE ENGLISHMEN--

THEY DO NOT ENJOY MY LOVE AS YOU DO, PEDRO,

DO THEY, HMM?

NO, SIR.

MUM, THE GOVERNOR IS COMING.

HE'S ON HIS WAY. HE'LL BE HERE SOON.

TAKE IT OFF.

YOU KNOW THE GOVERNOR IS AT THE GATES.

DO YOU TELL YOURSELF IT IS SOME MARK

OF LOVE'S LOYALTY

AND WE'RE TO APPLAUD YOUR BRAVE HEART?

I DOUBT IT. TAKE IT OFF.

GRIEF IS EASY ENOUGH TO CONQUER

EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE IT.

DO YOU WISH TO REPRIMAND ME FOR BEING SHORN

OF MY MOURNING DRESS?

I CHOOSE TO CATCH HOLD OF LIFE, SIR.

TAKE IT OFF.

THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A RED FLAG

OF A MAN WHO BELIEVES HIMSELF DEFEATED BY SORROW,

A MAN READY TO DROWN IN HIS OWN SELF-PITY.

TAKE IT OFF.

PLEASE.

YEARDLEY: READ!

JAMES: OHH!

OHH!

AAGH!

[WHIPLASH] OH!

AAH!

UH! OHH!

UGH!

AAGH!

[WHIMPERING]

OH!

[SHUDDERING]

WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE, CHACROW?

OPECHANCANOUGH SENDS THESE YOUNG MEN TO YOU

TO WORK ON YOUR FARM.

THEY WILL LABOR EVERY DAY FOR ONE YEAR.

SINCE YOU HAVE EXPLAINED THIS TRADE TO HIM,

MY KING WISHES THAT YOU MIGHT PAY FOR THIS

AT SOME OTHER TIME.

IT IS, AS YOU DESCRIBED TO US,

A TEMPORARY KINDNESS,

OR, IF YOU CHOOSE, THIS MIGHT BE COUNTED

AS A BALANCE TO THE TRIBUTE YOU PRESENTED TO HIM.

WE HAVE HENRY SHARROW TO THANK

FOR THIS BOND OF HONOR BETWEEN US NOW.

THEY WERE TOLD!

OPECHANCANOUGH WAS WARNED THAT OUR INTENTION

WAS TO CAPTURE HIM IN A DEBT.

WE WERE BETRAYED.

DON'T GO WASTING YOUR TIME ACCUSING US SHARROWS.

DIDN'T WE TRY TO EXPLAIN THE PAMUNKEY WAYS TO YOU?

WEREN'T WE THE ONES DID YOUR BUSINESS FOR YOU?

WHAT ABOUT YOUR WIFE, HENRY?

SHE SPENDS HER DAY MAKING CORN BREAD.

WHAT DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH POLITICS?

IT'LL ALWAYS BE A DANGER HAVING ONE OF THEM

HERE AMONGST US.

YEARDLEY: WE WILL CONTINUE OUR BATTLE OF CUNNING,

PLY THEM WITH GOD AND GREED...

UNTIL THE DAY COMES

WHEN WE HAVE CANNONS ENOUGH TO CONQUER THEM.

MMPH!

MM.

WHY HAVE YOU NEVER MARRIED, SIR?

THE SAME REASON AS YOU, JAMES READ--

BECAUSE I'M HERE.

OH, I TRIED.

I HAD MYSELF A WIFE SHIPPED OUT.

WILL YOU MARRY WIDOW CASTELL?

IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO ASK SUCH THINGS.

WELL, BUT HERE I AM ASKING.

THE RESPECTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME MUST PASS BEFORE--

I AIN'T ASKING ABOUT TIME.

I'M ASKING ABOUT INTENTIONS.

WHY ARE YOU SO EXERCISED BY THE POSSIBILITY?

FOR MONTHS,

I DREAMED OF CORINA'S BODY.

I IMAGINED IT.

THAT WAS ALL I WANTED.

I WAS TORMENTED BY ITS CLOSENESS,

BUT THEN WHEN I REALIZED

SHE WAS ONLY A FEW DAYS AWAY...

I BETTER KNEW WHAT THAT LONGING WAS--

TO LOOK DEEP INTO A WOMAN'S EYES

WHEN SHE KNOWS EVERY CRACK IN MY SOUL...

AND THESE THOUGHTS, SIR,

THEY BECAME PRECIOUS TO ME.

YOU ARE QUITE THE ROMANTIC,

MASTER READ.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, SIR?

DO YOU ACHE WITH THAT SAME NEED?

I WISH TO MARRY. YES.

DID YOU VISIT THE DOCTOR?

SIR, I CANNOT CONVINCE MYSELF

THAT CHRISTOPHER IS THE SPY.

DID YOU VISIT HIM, JOCELYN?

SIR, TO BE WITNESSED SO NEWLY BEREAVED

SKULKING THROUGH THE DARK TO VISIT A MAN--

I HAVE TRAITORS ALL AROUND ME, JOCELYN.

ARE YOU MY CONFEDERATE, OR ARE YOU NOT?

I AM, SIR, MOST TENDERLY.

THEN TOMORROW YOU WILL REPORT TO ME

WHAT BECAME OF YOUR NIGHT VISIT.

DID I NOT WARN YOU

TO BE SHY OF THE BLACKSMITH?

A WIDOW IS A WOMAN WHO KNOWS ALREADY

WHAT A MAN IS

SINCE HER IMMACULATE DAYS ARE GONE.

SHE IS FLESH, AND IT IS PRESUMED

THAT SHE WILL NOT BE CONTENTED

UNTIL SHE SHAKES AGAIN.

THAT IS WHY A WOMAN MUST REMARRY,

AND THAT IS WHY A WOMAN OF HIGH BLOOD

MUST TREAD MOST CAREFULLY.

[CLACK]

[CREAKING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

I EXPECT MY MISTRESS IS IN NEED

OF SOME MEDICINE FOR SOME PAIN

OR SLEEP.

I EXPECT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE ME

OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HER HEART.

I EXPECT.

I SAID TO MY MISTRESS,

"MASTER READ AIN'T MOURNING CORINA."

"HE IS MOURNING LOVE.

"THAT'S WHY HE MUST WEAR THE HANDSOME DOUBLET

LIKE HE DO."

WHEN I PUT IT ON,

THE FEEL OF THE SILK--

I WAS A MAN ABOUT TO BE MARRIED.

WITH THE DOUBLET ON MY BACK, I WAS IN LOVE.

I FEARED THAT IF I TOOK IT OFF,

I MIGHT LOSE THAT FEELING AND NEVER FIND IT AGAIN.

BUT WHERE IS THE DOUBLET NOW, SIR?

YOU GO BACK TO YOUR BED, MERCY.

WHY WOULD A MAN SUCH AS YOU

LEAVE THE PROMISES OF ENGLAND

FOR SUCH A BARBAROUS CORNER OF THE WORLD?

I KNEW I COULD LEARN MORE HERE

ABOUT MEDICINE, MANKIND, CHRISTOPHER PRIESTLY.

I HAVE THAT ADVENTURESOME SPIRIT

THAT OUR GOVERNOR SPEAKS SO FONDLY OF.

THIS PLACE IS A DEN OF POISON VIPERS.

I'VE COME TO FEAR THAT WE'RE

ON THE SIDE OF THE DEVIL'S OWN.

OH, JOCELYN,

I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU FOR ONE MINUTE.

YOU RELISH EVERY CLASH AND BATTLE.

THAT IS WHY FORTUNE HAS BROUGHT US BOTH HERE

TO THIS HELL-BEGOTTEN PLACE,

THAT WE MIGHT TOGETHER--

WE MIGHT DEAL OUT SOME...

INFLUENCE FOR THE BETTER.

FORGIVE ME.

MY HOPES LEAP AHEAD OF MY DIGNITY.

[CLEARS THROAT]

JOCELYN, UH...

[EXHALES]

I KNOW I'VE BEEN BEHAVING

RATHER STRANGELY RECENTLY.

IT'S BECAUSE, UM...

WELL, SAMUEL AND I WERE SUCH CLOSE FRIENDS.

WHEN HE DIED,

I WAS POSSESSED BY THE MOST TREACHEROUS

AND WONDERFUL THOUGHT THAT--

THAT YOU MIGHT BE MINE NOW.

[SNIFFLES]

I FELT SUCH GUILT AS TO IMAGINE IT.

DO YOU SEE?

YES.

YES. I SEE.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

MEREDITH: AH!

OH!

UH! UH...

UH!

[PANTING]

UH!

[PANTING]

UH!

OHH!

WHEW...

[PANTING]

IT WAS ME TOLD CHACROW

THAT YOU BETRAYED THE PAMUNKEY.

UHH!

OH! OOH...

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

HEY!

KILL ME.

I DON'T WANT TO LIVE BEYOND THIS DAY.

I SAID IT BECAUSE I HAD TO

AND NO MORE THAN THAT.

DON'T ASK ME WHY I TOLD THE TRUTH.

ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU TURNED TRAITOR

TO PEOPLE WHO SAVED YOUR LIFE--

TO CHACROW, TO YOUR OWN WIFE.

DO YOU STILL NOT KNOW THE PAMUNKEY?

OHH...

[PIG GRUNTING]

[DISTANT CLANGING]

AIN'T MASTER READ A MAN OF TRUE CHIVALRY, MUM?

IF I DIED AND MY COLD FACE WAS KISSED BY A MAN,

TOLD ME I WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND THEN MOURNED ME

BY THE WEARING OF A HANDSOME, RED DOUBLET,

I WOULD A-SWOON.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB UP

FROM YOUR DEATHBED FIRST, MERCY.

[CLANGING CONTINUES]

I DO SO HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER NOW, MUM.

I CAN'T SO MUCH AS CLOSE MY EYES

KNOWING THAT YOU CAN'T CLOSE YOUR EYES.

MERCY, DID YOU WAKE TO FIND ME GONE LAST NIGHT?

NO, MUM.

I FOLLOWED YOU, BUT WHEN WE SAW

THAT YOU WENT INTO THE DOCTOR'S APOTHECARY,

WE KNEW NOT TO WORRY.

MERCY, YOU SAID "WE"--

"WE SAW YOU GO INTO THE APOTHECARY."

MASTER READ SAID FOR ME TO RETURN TO MY BED, MUM.

MASTER READ WITNESSED ME GOING

TO VISIT CHRISTOPHER AFTER DARK.

I THINK IT WAS THE MOURNING

KEPT HIM AWAKE, MUM.

HE DID HAVE A YEARNING ABOUT HIM.

MM...
