THOMAS, MEET
SIMEON PECK.

A MARVELOUS FELLOW.

WE BECAME ACQUAINTED
IN BERMUDA.

DID EVER I SEE
SUCH A BRIGHT BLAZE

OF A CAPOTAIN HAT?

WHO MIGHT WEAR
SUCH A DELIGHT?

WELL, IT AIN'T
FOR ME, SIR.

IT'S FOR MY MISTRESS--
WIDOW CASTELL.

NICHOLAS, WHY HAVE
YOU BROUGHT

SUCH A BAUBLE
BACK TO JAMESTOWN?

THOMAS, WE MUST
ACCOMMODATE SIMEON

AT ALL COSTS.

HE WILL PROVE MOST
BENEFICIAL TO US.

I WITNESSED
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

WHEN YOU ACCOMMODATED

YOUR TWO YOUNG FAVORITES
IN LONDON--

DEBTS AND RIDICULE.

THIS WILL
BE DIFFERENT.

I PROMISE YOU.

MERCY: MA'AM, I AIN'T
NEVER BEEN SO MUDDLED.

THE SECRETARY
SMILED AT ME.

SECRETARY FARLOW
IS RETURNED?

YES, MA'AM.

AND HE HAS THE MOST COMELY
GENTLEMAN WITH HIM.

AND HE COMPLIMENTED
YOUR HAT.

A COMELY GENTLEMAN?

MASTER SHARROW,

HAVE YOU SEEN
SECRETARY FARLOW
THIS MORNING

WITH ANOTHER
GENTLEMAN?

I DO BELIEVE THEY WENT

TOWARD THE APOTHECARY,
MA'AM.

THE SECRETARY'S
HARDLY OFF THE SHIP
WITH HIS COMPANION

AND WIDOW CASTELL'S
CHASING AFTER HIM.

NEVER A WOMAN SO MEDDLE
IN THE MATTERS OF MEN?

DON'T SHE KNOW HOW
TO BRING A MAN HELL.

WHATEVER FAULTS THAT
THAT WIDOW HAS UPON HER,

SHE AIN'T A TRAITOR
TO HER OWN PEOPLE.

WHAT IS IT YOU BELIEVE

THAT YOU KNOW
ABOUT ME, JAMES READ?

ONLY THIS: IT'S NOT
JUST YOU WHO WILL PAY.

YOUR WIFE WILL.

DR. PRIESTLY, MY COMPANION
IS A MAN OF SCIENCE.

HE WISHES TO AVAIL
OF YOUR APOTHECARY.

DOCTOR,
MIGHT YOU HAVE

AN ALUDEL
FOR CONDENSING
VAPORS?

A MOOR'S HEAD
STILL?

AN ALEMBIC
AND A RETORT?

I HAVE ALL
OF THOSE, SIR.

I WILL REQUIRE ALSO
OIL OF VITRIOL,

VITRIOLO ROMANO,
LITHARGE,

MILK OF SULFUR,
PLUMBAGO,

SAL AMMONIAC...

AND DOUBTLESS
MORE INGREDIENTS

WHICH YOU YOURSELF
WILL PROVIDE, SIR?

FARLOW: WIDOW CASTELL, WE ARE
CONDUCTING A DELICATE BUSINESS

WITH DR. PRIESTLY.

FORGIVE THE INTRUSION.

I DEARLY WISHED TO WELCOME
OUR INTRIGUING VISITOR.

SIMEON PECK, MADAM.

OH, BUT NOW I SEE WHY

SUCH A DAZZLING HAT
WAS REQUIRED.

WE MUST MEET,
SWEET MADAM,

THAT WE MIGHT
EXCHANGE COMPLIMENTS

AND PLY THE ART
OF VANITY.

[JOCELYN AND SIMEON CHUCKLING]

WE WILL RETURN TO CONCLUDE
OUR EMPLOYMENT

ANOTHER DAY,
DR. PRIESTLY.

JOCELYN: CHRISTOPHER,
WHY DID YOU NOT ASK

WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS?

BECAUSE I KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT.

OH?

WHY WON'T YOU
TELL ME?

THERE MIGHT BE SOME
ADVANTAGE IN IT.

OH, JOCELYN.

STILL YOU SEEK TRIUMPH
IN EVERY ENCOUNTER.

WITH FARLOW, YES.

I MUST PROVE THAT
HE IS THE DEVIL,

HAS SOLD HIMSELF
TO THE SPANISH.

WE MUST SEEK OUT

EVERY OUNCE
OF INTELLIGENCE

TO SEE WHAT TRICKS
HE IS AT.

TELL ME WHY THEY
WERE HERE, CHRISTOPHER.

NO.

MUST I LAY MY HOPES
BEFORE YOU WITH A TROWEL?

WILL YOU MAKE ME
PLEAD, JOCELYN?

YOU LOVED ME.

I SAW IT. I FELT IT.

YOU CONFIDED TO ME
YOUR EVERY HURT.

I FELT TRUSTED,
CHOSEN, DESIRED.

NOW I MIGHT AS WELL
KISS AT SMOKE.

JOCELYN, WHY HAVE
YOU VANISHED?

I DO NOT KNOW.

OH, BUT YOU DO KNOW.

FOR THE FIRST TIME,
I DO NOT DELIGHT

IN YOUR SWEET DECEITS.

TEMPERANCE YEARDLEY
TOLD ME

ON THE DAY THAT
MY HUSBAND DIED...

I MUST REMARRY,
AND QUICKLY,

BECAUSE A WOMAN
HAS NO PLACE
IN THIS WORLD

WITHOUT A MAN.

EVERY INSTINCT
MAKES ME FIGHT

AGAINST SUCH
A CONFINEMENT.

THAT IS
MY TRUE DEVOTION.

MILK OF SULFUR...
PLUMBAGO...

SAL AMMONIAC--

ALCHEMY.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

BLACKSMITH,
WE'LL ALL BE IN NEED

OF A GOODLY AMOUNT
OF LEAD FROM YOU.

MY PROCESS REQUIRES
AN ASSISTANT

SKILLED IN METALS.

WILL YOU
SERVE ME, SIR?

WHEN THE TIME
IS RIGHT, READ,

YOU WILL AVAIL
MASTER PECK.

JOCELYN: HOW BEGUILING YOUR
ENTERPRISE SOUNDS, SIR.

GO TO, WOMAN.

FIND ANOTHER
OCCASION

TO SEEK QUARREL
AND OFFENSE.

JOCELYN: DID THEY ASK YOU
FOR LEAD, MASTER READ?

IS IT TRUE THAT
SUCH A BASE METAL

CAN BE TURNED
INTO GOLD?

YEAH, THE QUESTION'S
FIT ENOUGH,

BUT I HAVE
ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU.

WHY SHOULD I ANSWER?

MERCY TOLD ME
THAT YOU WITNESSED

MY VISIT TO
DR. PRIESTLY AFTER DARK.

I WISH TO EXPLAIN.

WHAT NEED IS THERE
FOR YOU TO ACCOUNT TO ME

FOR WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO
WHEN THE MOON'S UP?

I DID NOT SAY "NEED."

I WILL NOT LIE TO YOU:
THE MATTER WAS POLITICAL.

WILL YOU MARRY HIM?

AIN'T NO BUSINESS
OF MINE.

I BELIEVE THAT
CHRISTOPHER WILL ASK ME.

OH, THAT'S
A POLITICAL REPLY.

HOW WILL YOU ANSWER HIM?

IT AIN'T NO BUSINESS
OF MINE.

JAMES.

LOOK, MY--
MY TRUE QUESTION,

AND IT WILL TORMENT ME
IF I DON'T ASK IT--

IS IF YOU WEREN'T
A WOMAN OF STANDING...

THE ANSWER IS NO.
NEVER.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
SOME THAT BELIEVE

THAT A COMMON METAL
IS IMPERFECT

AND CORRUPTED
AND DISEASED.

BUT WHAT'S
INSIDE OF IT

IS ITS TRUE NATURE--
PRIMA MATERIA.

AND THE ALCHEMIST,

HE--HE MIGHT
DISCOVER THE PROCESS

FOR PURIFYING IT

AND TO EXTRACT
WHAT IS NOBLE

AND WHAT IS PRECIOUS.

I ONLY EVER WISHED
TO OFFER YOU COMFORT.

I BELIEVE YOU

THAT SUCH WAS
YOUR INTENTION--

BUT COMFORT WAS NOT
WHAT I TASTED.

[FUSSING]

AHH. WINGANUSKE,
YOU WORK SO QUICKLY.

I CAN'T KEEP UP.

DOES IT NOT
HURT YOUR BACK?

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN]

WATER.

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN]

[BOTH SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN]

JAMES READ CALLED ME
A TRAITOR.

WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?

SILAS, THE DAY
YOU DISAPPEARED,

I WAS IN SUCH DISTRESS.

I--I DID SPEAK
WITH JAMES READ,

BUT I WOULD NEVER SAY
ANYTHING AGAINST YOU.

HOW ELSE WOULD HE KNOW?

WELL, THEN I MUST
HAVE SAID IT.

I DON'T REMEMBER.

HAVE YOU NO LOYALTY
TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND?

NO, I WILL NOT BE JUDGED
FOR THIS ONE FAILING,

NOT WHEN YOU WERE
THE CAUSE OF IT.

HE'S THREATENED
TO SPEAK OUT.

IF HE WANTED
TO HARM YOU,

HE WOULD HAVE
DONE SO BY NOW.

WHY HIM?

WHY JAMES READ?

BECAUSE HE HELPED ME.

SI...

DID WE NOT SEE THEM ON
THE STREET BEFORE US, HUH?

OUR OWN SECRETARY

WITH HIS PRETTY
FASHION-MONGING GOOSE.

I SWEAR
I SAW THEM NUZZLING.

[MEN LAUGHING]

VERITY: IT WAS A TASK TO
KEEP ME EYEBALLS IN ME HEAD.

[LAUGHTER]

HEY.
VERITY, MIND HOW
YOU FLEER AND JEST.

THERE'S FELLOWS HERE
HAD HAIRY SWEETHEARTS

AND KISSING COMPANIONS
OF THEIR OWN

BEFORE THE WOMEN
ARRIVED, HMM?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

AND YOU CAN
DECIPHER THIS?

SIMEON: THAT WHICH
MAY FASHION ITSELF

IN THE MIRROR
OF WISDOM

BECOMES ITSELF
IN THE TINCTURE,

SO IT IS FIXED
AND FORMED IN MAGIC,

AND BROUGHT
INTO BEING.

GOVERNOR: HMM.

SIR, I WAS
APPRENTICED

TO JOHANNES
VALENTINUS ANDREAE.

SIMEON--MASTER PECK--

IS A MAN OF TRUE GENIUS.

HE SPEAKS 5 LANGUAGES--

LATIN, RUSSIAN, ARABIC.

HE'S WRITTEN A BOOK
ABOUT ANCIENT ROME.

REDWICK: AND HE KNOWS
THE INSIDE OF A LADY'S HAT.

O CAESAR, ADFECTORUM
ET PETRI FACTUS ES.

AND YOU HAVE SEEN
BASE METAL TURNED TO GOLD?

I PROMISE YOU,
GOVERNOR,

THAT THE ART
OF ALCHEMY

BRINGS WONDROUS
TRANSFORMATIONS.

REDWICK: IT IS NOTHING
BUT FOLLY AND FOUL TRICKERY

TO DECEIVE AND THIEVE
ANY WHO'LL LET
THEMSELVES BE DUPED.

SIMEON:
THEN, GENTLEMEN,
I WILL NOT FRITTER

YOUR TIME
AND BELIEFS

ON MY
ENCHANTED ARTS.

WELL, NO, HOLD--HOLD--
HOLD HARD, SIR.

WHY HAVE YOU COME
TO VIRGINIA

TO CONDUCT YOUR WORK,
MASTER PECK?

I WAS POSSESSED
OF A DREAM

THAT CINNABAR--

THE RED MINERAL
RENOWNED

FOR ITS MARVELOUS
PROPERTIES

OF SCIENTIFIC
TRANSFORMATION--

MIGHT BE FOUND HERE
IN PROFUSION.

REDWICK:
A DREAM! GOVERNOR,

ARE WE TO GIVE THIS MAN
OUR TRUST AND REPUTATION

BUILT ON SUCH
SMOKE AND OFFAL?

MARSHAL,
HOLD YOUR RAILING.

YES, YOU ROB YOURSELF
OF CREDIBILITY,

YOU'RE SO MARRIED
TO BOMBASTRY.

WE MUST HOLD THIS OCCUPATION
MOST SECRET.

TELL NONE BUT THOSE OF US
THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT.

WE WOULD NOT WISH
TO STIR UP

UNNECESSARY EXCITEMENTS
AMONGST THE SETTLERS.

[MEN LAUGHING]

SIR, IF YOU ARE
SEEKING THE SECRETARY,

HE'S CODDLED WITH HIS
SWEET APPLE OF A FRIEND

JUST AT THE BACK THERE.

[MEN STOP TALKING]

WE HAVE A LAW
HERE IN VIRGINIA

PASSED IN THE YEAR
OF 1610.

THOMAS,
DO NOT BITE SO.

"NO MAN SHALL COMMIT

"THE HORRIBLE
AND DETESTABLE

"SIN OF SODOMY.

"HE WHO CAN BE
LAWFULLY CONVICTED

"OF SUCH ABOMINATION
AND EVIDENT PROOF

MADE THEREOF."

YOU KNOW THIS LAW
WELL, MARSHAL.

"THEY SHALL BE WHIPPED;

"THEY SHALL BEG
FOR PUBLIC FORGIVENESS

BEFORE
THE CONGREGATION."

LET ANY ACT OF
BESTIAL BUGGERY
BE DISCOVERED.

[SIMEON LAUGHING]

DO YOU FIND THIS MATTER
SO AMUSING, MASTER PECK,

THAT IT BRINGS YOU
TO LAUGHTER?

IF YOU DO NOT HEAR
THAT SOUND, SIR, I DO.

IT IS THE DEATH KNELL.

FARLOW: THOMAS, YOU
MUST LET SIMEON BE

FOR THE SHORT WHILE
THAT WE MIGHT GAIN

THE RICHES
HE WILL AFFORD US.

DO YOU NOT SEE
I DO THIS FOR YOU?

TO SAVE YOU FROM THIS
DANGEROUS INTOXICATION.

I NEED
NO SUCH PROTECTION.

I AM THE GUARDIAN
OF MY OWN FATE.

HE WILL BEGUILE YOU--
I SEE IT--

AND YOU WILL STOOP
AND BE LOST.

[GASPS]

[LAUGHS]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

TEMPERANCE: ♪ THE HEAVENS
ARE NOT TOO HIGH ♪

♪ HIS PRAISE MAY
TO US FLY ♪

♪ THE EARTH IS NOT
TOO LOW ♪

♪ HIS PRAISES THERE
MAY GROW ♪

MARIA, WAS THERE
SOME TROUBLE

BETWEEN YOU AND PEDRO
JUST NOW IN THE FIELD?

NOT TROUBLE, MA'AM.

IT WAS FOOLING.

OH. FOOLING.

MARIA HAS MADE
A PIPE, MA'AM.

IT IS CARVED SO FINE,

IT IS TOO GOOD
TO SMOKE FROM.

HEY, LET ME BRING IT
TO SHOW TO LADY YEARDLEY.

I WILL FETCH IT.

THERE IS
A GROWING FONDNESS

BETWEEN YOU
AND MARIA, PEDRO.

WHO IS IT FOR?

I MADE IT
FOR YOU, MA'AM.

I WILL TREASURE IT.

[SOFTLY]
THANK YOU.

WHY DID YOU SAY
IT WAS FOR HER?

ALICE: JAMES READ.

WHEN I SPOKE TO YOU
ABOUT MY FEARS,

I TOOK YOU FOR
A TRUSTED FRIEND.

WHY WOULD YOU USE
WHAT I TOLD YOU

AS A WEAPON
AGAINST MY HUSBAND?

I KNOW SILAS
WOULD ONLY DO

WHAT HIS HEART
TOLD HIM WAS TRUE.

AND I COULD NEVER
DO ANYTHING

TO BRING HARM TO YOU.

THEN WHY DID YOU
MAKE SUCH A THREAT?

SOME TWISTED IDEA
OF CHIVALRY, PERHAPS.

THERE'S A STRANGE
FELLOW.

JAMES READ:
YOU SEE THE BOOK?

THAT MAN ASKED ME
FOR LEAD.

HE'S AN ALCHEMIST.

OH, LOOK. THE SECRETARY'S
GOT HIS STICK.

THAT USUALLY MEANS
HE'S ABOUT

TO GIVE THE WORLD
A WHACK.

[LAUGHS]

YOU CAN SEE
EVERYTHING FROM HERE.

WHAT DID YOU MEAN
BY TWISTED CHIVALRY?

ALICE, I HAVE A COMPULSION
BITING AT ME SO FIERCELY.

THE WIDOW CASTELL.

WE LIVE CHEEK-BY-JOWL;

OUR BEST HOPE IS THAT
IT'S OUR FRIENDS

WHO LEARN OUR SECRETS.

SHE HAS BEEN KIND
TO ME, BUT THERE IS

ONLY SUFFERING
FOR YOU IN THIS.

LEAVE HER BE.

THAT'S--THAT--THAT IS
THE DECISION THAT I'VE MADE

20 OR MORE TIMES.

BUT I CAN'T
SHAKE IT OFF.

DIDN'T YOU HAVE THE SAME
SPELL'S GRIP FOR ME ONCE?

YOU SHOOK THAT OFF.

YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.

NO, THAT--THAT WAS
A MAN'S INNOCENT HEART.

THIS IS MADNESS.

I KNOW IT.

BUT IT SEEMS I WANT
TO BE MAD.

I SPOKE WITH JAMES READ.

THAT BUSINESS WITH HIM
IS FINISHED NOW.

IF WE MIGHT HAVE
AN AFTERNOON
UNDER A TREE,

I COULD SHOW YOU
MY TRUE FEELINGS.

THE SHIP WILL COME
ANY DAY NOW

WITH PAYMENT FOR OUR TOBACCO
THAT WE SENT TO ENGLAND.

SOON WE WILL KNOW
THE BEST OF TIMES.

THIS IS WHAT
WE WORKED FOR.

I WILL BUY YOU
A HAT OR SHOES

OR ANY LITTLE TREASURE
THAT WILL SHOW YOU

HOW MY HEART SINGS
WHEN I SEE YOU.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

GENTLEMEN...

MASTER PECK HERE

NEEDS TO CONDUCT
SOME EXPERIMENTS--

MEDICAL EXPLORATIONS
FOR WHICH

HE WILL REQUIRE
VARIOUS MINERALS

AND ROOTS
AND PLANTS.

DR. PRIESTLY IS THE MAN
MIGHT ASSIST YOU BEST, SIR.

WE REQUIRE
SUCH SPECIMENS THAT

MIGHT ONLY BE OBTAINED
WITH THE AID
OF THE NATURALS.

AND WHO BETTER TO APPROACH
THEM THAN YOU BROTHERS?

WHAT IS IT
YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR, GENTLEMEN?

MASTER PECK WOULD BE
MOST GRATEFUL

FOR A SUPPLY OF
PUCCOON, MUSQUAPEN,

DOGWOOD, SASSAFRAS,

CINNABAR, CHICKWEED,
POTASH, GALENA.

SILAS: WE WILL SPEAK
WITH THE PAMUNKEY,

SEE IF THEY
MIGHT AID US.

I ENVY YOU,
MISTRESS SHARROW,

BEARING A CHILD.

THAT MOTHER'S BLISS
THAT MIGHT

BRING A BABE
INTO THIS WORLD.

BRING US THE ITEMS.

YOU'LL BE AMPLY
REWARDED. COME.

ALICE: JAMES READ
TOLD ME MASTER PECK

HAS A BOOK OF ALCHEMY.

THE LIST OF ITEMS
FARLOW SPOKE OF--

THAT WAS A VOICE

WITH SOMETHING
TO HIDE IN IT.

I THINK PERHAPS THEY
ONLY WANT THE ONE THING.

CINNABAR.

I SAW IT ON MASTER PECK'S
FACE AS THE SECRETARY SPOKE.

SO THEY WANT
TO MAKE GOLD.

THEN WHY SHOULD WE
HELP 'EM DO THAT?

LET THEM
BELIEVE THEIR
DUNG-BRAINED WONDERS

IF THEY'RE GONNA
PAY US WELL.

HENRY...

OUR FIGHT...
WAS NECESSARY.

IT WAS ALL THE ANGER
I'VE EVER FELT.

BUT IT'S DONE NOW.

I STILL RESPECT YOU
AS THE OLDER BROTHER.

NO. THAT IS NOT
HOW IT IS.

WE BOTH KNOW NOW
WHICH OF US

CAN KILL THE OTHER.

THAT DETERMINES
EVERYTHING.

I WILL SERVE YOU.
I WILL OBLIGE YOU.

TILL THE TIME
COMES

WHEN IT MIGHT
TURN AGAIN.

JOCELYN: MERCY, COME.
COME HERE.

MA'AM, ARE WE SPYING?

HUSH, CHILD.

MERCY: MA'AM, I AIN'T NEVER
SPIED ON NO ONE BEFORE.

AND WHY ARE WE
SPYING?

YOU ARE TO LOOK
AND TO SEE

AND TO WITNESS

SO THAT
YOU MIGHT TESTIFY.

OH.

FARLOW: LET'S REST
HERE FOR A WHILE...

[CONVERSATION CONTINUES,
INDISTINCT]

[CLINK]

OH, BUT NICHOLAS FARLOW,

YOU LOOK SO SPLENDID
LYING THERE.

I DELIGHT IN
EVERY PART OF YOU.

AND I DELIGHT
IN YOU, DEAR SIMEON.

NO. IT IS FORBIDDEN...
BY LAW.

NO ONE NEED EVER KNOW.

I WILL KNOW.

NICHOLAS...

I HAVE SEEN HOW
YOUR EYES DEVOUR ME

WHEN YOU THINK I'M NOT
AWARE YOU ARE LOOKING.

I KNOW THE LOOKS
OF MEN--

WHEN THEY ADMIRE ME,
WHEN THEY DESIRE ME.

BUT YOU LOVE ME.

WILL YOU DENY IT?

IT IS FORBIDDEN.

DID YOU NOT HEAR
THE MARSHAL SAY IT?

THE MARSHAL'S NOT HERE.

I WANT TO SURPRISE YOU.

NO, DON'T. DO NOT.

BUT WE MIGHT HOLD
ONE ANOTHER

IN ALL TENDERNESS
AND SWEET,

SHAMELESS INTIMACY.

I AM THE SECRETARY OF
THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA--

A RESPECTED AND WEALTHY
MAN OF POSITION.

I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED
BY MERE EMOTION.

THEN I PITY YOU,
YOUR PALTRY HEART.

[CRYING]

WE ARE NOT DONE,
NICHOLAS.

I WILL LOVE YOU
AND YOU WILL LOVE ME.

I WILL SHOW YOU
WHAT IS POSSIBLE

BETWEEN TWO SOULS.

MA'AM, WHAT IS
A PALTRY HEART?

UM, DO I HAVE
A PALTRY HEART?

HUSH, CHILD.

JOCELYN, WHAT HAS
DISTRESSED YOU?

I MUST
PROVE FARLOW TO BE

THE SPANISH SPY HERE.

I CANNOT STOP UNTIL
HE IS CAUGHT AND TRIED.

WHY DO YOU INSIST
ON SAYING THAT YOU MUST?

WHY SHOULD
THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF EVIDENCE

FALL ONTO
YOUR SHOULDERS?

I MUST. DO YOU HEAR ME?
I MUST, I MUST, I MUST.

THEN TELL ME WHY
OR I WILL NEVER AGAIN
BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAY,

NOT EVEN A LOOK
ON YOUR FACE.

YOU HAVE NO CAUSE

OTHER THAN YOUR HATRED
OF FARLOW.

BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR
BELIEVES IT IS
YOU WHO IS THE SPY.

WHAT WOULD MAKE HIM
BELIEVE SUCH A THING?

I TOLD HIM IT WAS SO.

I THOUGHT THAT
I COULD FORGIVE YOU
ANYTHING, JOCELYN.

CHRISTOPHER--STAY AWAY FROM ME.

PLEASE STAY AWAY
FROM ME.

I CANNOT BE NEAR YOU
FOR ONE MORE MOMENT.

HENRY'S SORRY, CHACROW.

HE MADE A MISTAKE,
AND HE WILL REPAY YOU

TO WIN BACK
YOUR RESPECT.

NOT SO LONG AGO,
HENRY SHARROW

SPOKE FOR HIMSELF.

WHEN I SAW THIS MAN
WITH FIERCE BRAVERY,

I WAS NEVER AFRAID.

NOW I MUST
BE WATCHFUL.

HENRY: HE AIN'T DONE
WITH YOU YET, BROTHER.

THE PAMUNKEY
CAUGHT YOU ONCE.

THEY'LL COME
AFTER YOU AGAIN.

I WON'T BETRAY MYSELF
A SECOND TIME.

[MEN LAUGHING IN TAVERN]

MWAH!

RUTTER, DID YOU EVER
HAVE YOURSELF

A HAIRY SWEETHEART,
A KISSING COMPANION?

I CAN'T BE CERTAIN.

HA!

MARIA. MARIA.

I AIN'T NEVER SEEN YOU
IN THE SETTLEMENT

AFTER DARK.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

COME...

WELL, WHERE DID YOU
GET THIS?

SOMEONE PLACED IT
IN OUR SHACK

SO THAT WE MIGHT BE
BLAMED FOR STEALING IT.

GIVE IT TO ME.
GIVE IT TO ME.

YOU GO HOME
TO YOUR BED.

I'LL DEAL
WITH THIS.

DO YOU KNOW
WHO IT WAS?

LIKE I SAID,
LEAVE IT WITH ME.

NO. NO.

OH! OH!

BUT YOU DO HAVE
A THIRST UPON YOU

THIS EVENING, SIMEON.

IF EMOTION CANNOT REACH

THE SECRETARY OF
THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA,

A RESPECTED MAN
OF POSITION,

THEN PERHAPS
WINE CAN.

NICHOLAS.
MIGHT I JOIN YOU?

OF COURSE.

EAT, THOMAS.
I--I MEANT TO INVITE YOU.

TARTY THOMAS.

[SIMEON LAUGHS]

WET SUCKETS.

COME ALONG
NOW, NICHOLAS.

INTO YOUR MOUTH.

[CHUCKLES]

MMM. DELICIOUS
WET SUCKETS.

THE SHARROWS WILL SOON
PROVIDE US WITH CINNABAR.

THEN MASTER PECK MIGHT
CONDUCT HIS EXPERIMENT.

KISSING COMFITS.

[LAUGHS]

KISSING COMFITS.

I BELIEVE THAT
MASTER PECK

IS SUFFERING
FROM THE EFFECTS

OF STRONG WINE.

WINE, IS IT?

IT IS NO BURDEN.

HE IS DRUNK NOW,
BUT SOON THIS SAME MAN

WILL CONJURE FOR US
SUPREME RICHES.

I AM
TRYING TO FATHOM

IF YOU
TRULY BELIEVE

THIS BISCUIT-BRAINED
FOOLERY

THAT MAKES
GOLD OUT OF SPELLS

AND MAGIC BOTTLES
OF BREW

OR IF
YOU ARE BLINDED

BY LILY-SOFT CHEEKS
AND KISSING COMFITS.

BELIEVE? BELIEVE?

I WORSHIP
THE POSSIBILITY.

SUPPOSE HE FAILS,
NICHOLAS.

WHAT WILL YOU
SAY THEN?

WHAT WILL
YOU DO THEN?

WHO WILL YOU
BE THEN?

[MAN CRYING]

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

I WAS JUST--I'M SICK.

I'VE BEEN RETCHING.

SOME FOOD HAS
POISONED ME.

[CRYING]

[SCREAMS]

AH, DO YOU
TELL YOURSELF

SO THAT YOU MIGHT
AT LAST RUIN ME

NOW THAT YOU FIND ME
WEEPING, WIDOW CASTELL?

[CRYING]

WELL, GO AHEAD.
TELL HIM.

TELL THE GOVERNOR.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT HE WOULD
HANG ME FOR BEING WEAK?

IF YOU BELIEVE
THAT YOU KNOW

THE BUSINESS
OF THIS COLONY,

THEN YOU FOOL YOURSELF.

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT
I WAS IN BERMUDA?

IT WAS AT
YEARDLEY'S BIDDING.

SO, YOU CAN TELL
THE GOVERNOR

THAT YOU FOUND
THE SECRETARY

ON HIS KNEES.

IT WILL MAKE
NO DIFFERENCE.

HE ALREADY
POSSESSES ME.

AND THAT IS WHY HE
SO KEENLY REFUSES

TO SUSPECT YOU
AS THE SPANISH SPY?

[SCOFFS]
NO.

NO, HE ALREADY KNOWS
WHO THAT IS.

DO NOT ASK.
I'M NO WISER THAN YOU ARE.

I DID COME HERE
TO RUIN YOU.

BUT WHEN I SAW
A MAN SO DISTRESSED,

WHAT I FELT
WAS PITY.

I PREFER YOUR HATRED,
WIDOW CASTELL.

PLEASE RESTORE IT
TO ITS FULL LUSTER

BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

MEREDITH: VERITY.
IT IS NOT WISE,
VERITY.

THE MATTER
IS BETTER BURIED.

OH, I KNOW WELL ENOUGH
HOW THESE

CAME TO BE IN
THE NEGROES' SHACK.

AND I WILL NOT LET
PEDRO TAKE THE BLAME.

I MAY BE A THIEF, OH,
BUT I AIN'T INFECTED

WITH YOUR
HORSE PISS MORALITY.

[CHOKING]

I AM SICK OF ALL
THE LIKES OF YOU VERMIN

AND NEGROES AND SHARROWS

POISONING MY
EVERY INTENTION.

THE SHARROWS
WILL NOT PROSPER!

[GASPING]

DID BLOOD-SUCKING YEARDLEY

AND HIS
SHINE-SHOE'D RECORDER,

THE LITTLE PRICK AND PRICK

AND PRICK
AT MY BUSINESS

UNTIL I HAD
NOTHING LEFT? HUH?

MEREDITH: VERITY.

[VERITY GASPING]

FARLOW: YOU HAVE BROUGHT
ONLY THE ONE THING.

I ASKED YOU
FOR THE SEVERAL.

CINNABAR.

DO YOU WANT IT?

IT IS A FINE ROCK.

SILAS: WE WILL NAME
THE REWARD FOR IT.

FIRST LET US DISCOVER
IF IT SERVES
OUR PURPOSE.

SILAS: NO.
WE FETCHED IT.

IT IS HERE.

IF YOU WANT IT, YOU WILL
AGREE TO OUR TRADE.

WE WANT THAT FINE HORSE
OF YOURS, SECRETARY FARLOW.

FARLOW: NO. I WILL GIVE YOU
A PROMISSORY NOTE.

SILAS: A HORSE
IS A SMALL PRICE

TO PAY FOR GOLD.

THERE IS MORE
OF THE MINERAL

IF YOU SHOULD WANT IT.

WILL YOU TRADE THE HORSE?

SIMEON: MISTRESS SHARROW.

I'VE NEVER HEARD
A MAN SAY

HE HANKERS TO BEAR
A BABE BEFORE.

I MEANT IT.

I DO BELIEVE YOU.

THERE'S BEEN TIMES
I WISHED I WAS A MAN

BUT NEVER HEARD MEN
WISH TO BE WOMEN.

I DO NOT WISH TO BE
A WOMAN, MISTRESS SHARROW.

WHY ARE YOU NOT AFRAID
OF THE MARSHAL?

BECAUSE THE LAW
CANNOT CRACK ME.

YOU MAY BE OF ASSISTANCE
TO ME, MISTRESS SHARROW.

CAN I CALL UPON YOU?

WELL, WHAT COULD I--

OH, BUT YOU'RE
AN HONEST SORT,

AND COURAGEOUS ENOUGH
TO LOOK.

AND YOU ARE A WOMAN.

[CRYING]

GENTLEMEN, OUR CALLING TODAY
IS THE SCIENCE OF GOD,

SO WE MUST
SET OUT THE ROOM

ACCORDING TO
COSMIC CONJUNCTIONS.

AND THEN
WE WILL GO ABOUT

CREATING
PHILOSOPHIC MERCURY.

THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE.

[DOOR OPENS]

FARLOW:
MADAM, THIS IS NOT
A MATTER FOR WOMEN.

OH, BUT IT IS.

THE COMBINATION
OF SUBSTANCES

AND THE UNION OF OPPOSITES,

THE MYSTICAL MARRIAGE
OF THE LUNAR--FEMINA--

AND THE SOLAR--MASCULUM.

THIS IS THE FOUNDATION
OF THE MYSTERY WE PURSUE.

SO, TOO,

THE MOST VITAL
ASPECT

OF WHAT WE
CONDUCT HERE--

WORDS CAST TO HEAVEN

THAT THEY MIGHT SERVE
AS INVOCATIONS--

FEMININE INVOCATIONS.

WILL YOU ASSIST US,
WIDOW CASTELL?

PEPPER: SO SILAS SAYS TO HIM,
"SECRETARY FARLOW,

"WE WILL HAVE YOUR FINE HORSE

"OR YOU CAN DANCE ON YOUR TOES
FOR THIS CINNABAR.

WE AIN'T GIVING IT TO YOU."

[LAUGHTER]

WHEN SHARROWS TRADE, THERE AIN'T

NOTHING BETTER IN THIS WORLD.

WHOO-OO!
WHOO!

CHRISTOPHER: SALT.
MERCURY. SULFUR.

THE PRECIOUS 3.

SIMEON: FIRST,
CALCINATION--

THE HUMBLING
BY FIRE.

DISSOLUTION.

CHRISTOPHER: A WORLD
WITHOUT HIERARCHY.

THE ORDER OF THINGS BREAKS DOWN
THAT ALL MIGHT BE REBORN.

SIMEON: AFTER CALCINATION,

DISSOLUTION, SEPARATION,
CONJUNCTION.

WE STAND BETWEEN
THE SUN AND THE MOON,

MASCULINE AND FEMININE.

BODIES JOIN INTO ONE.

JOCELYN: SPIRIT ABOVE,
MATTER BELOW,

FRUITS OF SUN AND MOON.

SIMEON: OH, PURE,
SELF-MOVING SOURCE...

JOCELYN: OH, PURE,
SELF-MOVING SOURCE...

OH, FORM, LIFT UP THE LIGHT
SO THAT ALL THINGS UNITE.

LET US BE MAD.

MAD?

HMM.

MADNESS.

SIMEON: COAGULATION.

CHRISTOPHER:
RED PULVIS SOLARUS.

DISTILLATION.

THE ELIXIR,
PRIMA MATERIA.

WHERE IS THE GOLD?

IT IS HERE.

FARLOW: THIS IS MERELY

THE FIRST EXPERIMENT,
GOVERNOR.

MANY MORE WILL FOLLOW.

MASTER PECK NEEDS SUFFICIENT
TIME TO MAKE RICHES.

REDWICK: WILL WE
ADMIT NOW THAT THIS IS

NO MORE THAN
A CHARLATAN'S DANCE,

AND CAST THIS MAN
OUT OF JAMESTOWN?

MASTER PECK,
YOU DO NOT APPEAR

TO BE A MAN BESET
BY DEFEAT.

I HAVE HEARD IT
SAID

THAT ALCHEMISTS
DELIBERATELY FAIL--

LET THEMSELVES
BE SEEN
AS HOPELESS FRAUDS

TO DISSUADE THOSE
HUNGRY TO BELIEVE,

THUS KEEPING
THEIR TRUE MIRACLES

TO THEMSELVES.

THERE IS DECEIT, SIR,

BUT NOT IN ORDER TO ROB
THOSE ANXIOUS FOR GOLD.

RATHER, TO CONCEAL
THE TRUE PURPOSE

OF THIS MARVELOUS ART:

THE TRANSFORMATION
OF MAN.

LET ME SHOW YOU.

[CORK POPS]

[CLATTER]

WIDOW CASTELL,
I BEG YOUR ASSISTANCE.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

SHARROW?
THERE YOU ARE.

YOU CANNOT WEAR
A WOMAN'S APPAREL.

I CAN IF
A WOMAN I BE.

GOVERNOR YEARDLEY: DO YOU CLAIM,
SIR, TO BE TRANSFORMED

FROM A MAN TO A WOMAN
BY THE PROCESS OF ALCHEMY?

WHAT STANDS
BEFORE YOU, GOVERNOR,

IS THE LIVING, BREATHING,
QUICKSILVER PROOF

THE TRUE ART IS NOT
CHEAP RICHES

BUT THE MIRACLE OF
HUMAN METAMORPHOSIS.

DR. PRIESTLY, WE REQUIRE
AN EXAMINATION.

GOVERNOR,
I WOULD BEG

THAT SUCH
AN INSPECTION BE

ALSO CONDUCTED
BY A WOMAN.

PEPPER.

WE'LL HAVE ALICE
READ IT.

SHE HAS
SOME WORDS.

IF YOU MIGHT LIE DOWN

THAT I MIGHT
EXAMINE YOU, SIR.

MADAM.

IS IT POSSIBLE,
DOCTOR?

SIR, I MUST ASK--

THE MORNING THAT
SAMUEL WAS KILLED...

YOU HEARD HE WAS ABROAD
ON THE GOVERNOR'S BUSINESS.

WHY HAS IT
TAKEN YOU SO LONG

TO FIND THE COURAGE
TO ASK ME, JOCELYN?

IS THERE NOTHING HERE
THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW?

THE TAVERNER
RUNS HIS MOUTH OFF

TO MORE THAN
JUST FRIENDS.

I SAW THE WAY YOU SPOKE
TO THE DOCTOR TODAY.

YOU DO NOT TRULY SUSPECT
HIM TO BE THE SPY.

YOU NEVER HAVE.

DID YOU FORCE
THAT IDEA UPON ME

TO DISTRACT ME?

IF YOU KNOW WHO IT IS,

WHY DO YOU NOT
DENOUNCE THEM?

IT'S TIME YOU'RE
MARRIED, JOCELYN.

I'LL SPEAK
TO THE DOCTOR.

SIR, IT APPEARS
THAT SIMEON PECK

HAS A DUAL NATURE.

SHE'S A WOMAN
AND A MAN.

THEN YOU MIGHT WEAR
YOUR DRESS, SIR--MADAM,

BUT YOU WILL NO LONGER PRACTICE
ALCHEMY IN JAMESTOWN.

JAMES READ.

NO ONE
KNOWS METAL

BETTER THAN
YOU DO.

WHAT YOU WITNESSED--
MASTER PECK'S PROCESS.

ANY MERIT IN IT?

SOME THINGS ARE MEANT
TO BE AS THEY ARE.

IF ALL COULD BE GOLD,

THEN GOLD ITSELF
WOULD BE NO TREASURE.

I BELIEVE THAT NATURE

IS BEST LEFT
BEYOND A MAN'S GRASP.

QUITE THE PHILOSOPHER TODAY,
READ--FOR A BLACKSMITH.

WHAT ABOUT THE HUMAN
TRANSFORMATION, DOCTOR?

I SUSPECT, SIR,
THAT SIMEON

HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A HERMAPHRODITE.

THEN WHY THE PRETENSE?

[DOOR OPENS]

YOU SEE, NICHOLAS,
I WILL BE A WOMAN FOR YOU.

NO LAW CAN FORBID US.

DO YOU IMAGINE
YOUR BEING A WOMAN

MIGHT MAKE
THIS INNOCENT?

I NEED THE LAW.

I LOVE THE LAW.

THE LAW IS
ALL I HAVE

TO SAVE ME
FROM MY APPETITES.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
LOVE IN YOU,

NOR ANY MAN
NOR WOMAN,

MIGHT FEED ME.

IF YOU HAVE
A CARE FOR ME...

YOU WILL LEAVE JAMESTOWN
ON THE FIRST SHIP.

[CRYING]

WHEN WILL YOU MARRY
MISTRESS CASTELL, DOCTOR?

CHRISTOPHER:
SHE SEEMS TO CHERISH

BEING A WIDOW, SIR.

GOVERNOR: THEN WE MUST TAKE
THAT COMFORT AWAY FROM HER.

WILL YOU READ THIS
FOR US, ALICE?

I'LL TRY.

UM...

UM, UH...
IT SEEMS THAT,

BEFORE IT REACHED
ENGLAND,

THE SHIP WAS SEIZED
BY PRIVATEERS

AND ALL OUR CARGO
WAS LOST.

HENRY: WHAT WAS THE NATURE
OF THESE BANDITS?

DOES IT SAY?

SPANISH? DUTCH? ENGLISH?

THE CAPTAIN OF
THE "ROYAL MOON"

REPORTED THEM
TO BE DUTCH.

DID ANY MARINERS DIE IN
THE DEFENDING OF THE SHIP?

NONE.

LOOK AGAIN AT
THE LETTER, ALICE.

DOES IT SAY IF
GOVERNOR YEARDLEY'S CARGO
WAS ALSO LOST?

NO. IT DOESN'T
SAY THAT.

OURS IS STOLEN,
BUT HIS IS SAFE--

AIN'T THAT SUSPICIOUS?

SILAS: IF YEARDLEY
BELIEVES HE'S SEEN

THE LAST OF
THE SHARROWS' ANGER,

THEN HE WILL
NEED NEW EYES.
