0:00:09 > 0:00:11- THOYT:- Dear Lord Almighty, is that your brother?!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Your father was poisoned.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16I would say heavy doses over a short period.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- From where? - From a man in Feather Lane.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Look, it was cheaper than the tavern and, er,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- your father only gave me coppers. - What man?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08A man who's since died...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10..and his wife since left.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Why do you ask?

0:08:13 > 0:08:14I believe he is simply trying to raise the price.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Why did he know so much about the border negotiations, hmm?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22How did he know they were taking place in Ghent?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I'm going to write a book one day about all I know about the world.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- I don't care. - And I've been to most places,

0:11:04 > 0:11:07What's the biggest thing you saw, and the smallest?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24£20 is what I'm owed.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I know you have gold - you just bought a ship - so pay up.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- For what?- Well, you know, when someone wants a man killed,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- they come to Dolphin. - What, still?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37My directory of knowledge covers every fucking thing
0:11:37 > 0:11:40from cradle to grave - birth, love, death,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- it all goes into the river of my book.- Hmm!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46When someone wants a man killed, they come to Atticus.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Well, about a year ago, a gentleman comes in,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52sat right there where you are now,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and says, "How about old Horace Delaney,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58"the mad bastard lighting fires by the river?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02"Say he falls in, the current takes him, how about that?"
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So I says to the gentleman...
0:12:05 > 0:12:11"I sailed with old Horace all around the world."
0:12:12 > 0:12:15See? So I said, "You go or I'll slit your gizzard
0:12:15 > 0:12:19"and drop you in the current you had planned with Captain Delaney."
0:12:19 > 0:12:20And who was this gentleman?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29What was the smallest thing you saw?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Human kindness.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34An ant.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36HE SNIGGERS THEN WHEEZES

0:12:44 > 0:12:46More from up Leadenhall.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I could tell by the cut of his jib.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- So, how much will you give me for not killing your father?- Nothing.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52He's dead.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Well, £15...- £15. - ..and the return of your horse.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00I will give you £15, minus the heels on my boots...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04..and I will need your eyes and ears from now on as well.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Yeah, well, the enemies you're stirring up, James,

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Oh, you mean the blockade?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Fuck them!
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Now, the red crosses are the positions of the American ships.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06They are attempting to blockade our trading routes to the West.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10And the blue crosses are the Royal Navy ships,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13um, preparing to engage.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Why did you make the Americans red?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Why did you make them red? It's us who should be red.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20We wear red.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21The Admiralty drew up the map.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Now, they say that the Irish
0:14:27 > 0:14:32are supplying the blockade with tack and pork,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34but they will soon run short of powder.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Get the Admiralty to draw the map again,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and make the British red and the Americans...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46green or something, since they are so new.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48HE LAUGHS
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But of course, your Highness.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I had a dream last night.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02I was lying in the North Sea. My body was England.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I was an island... Coop, pay attention!
0:15:07 > 0:15:12All these shrimps, like devils, with little bows and arrows,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15were surrounding me, firing into my flesh.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You really must try and drink more from the green bottle
0:15:18 > 0:15:20and less from the pink.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21It wasn't just a dream.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It was a premonition.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29The shrimps were the American ships.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Hear me, Coop.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I am lying in the ocean like a whale
0:15:32 > 0:15:36and no-one in my Privy Council will raise a musket barrel!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40You sail this close to my nose,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42a kind of classless rebels,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and you show me red crosses.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Your Highness, they will run out of powder.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And I have run out of fucking patience.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Tell the Admiralty, although the gossips say
0:15:52 > 0:15:57that all Prinny wants is flowers and waltzes,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01in truth, Prinny also demands the American ships be sunk,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03the survivors hanged,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07the bodies of the drowned nailed to the church walls of Ireland
0:16:07 > 0:16:09to stop their rebels making common cause.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29BEADS RATTLE
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Brace, where did my father keep his most important things?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What is it you're looking for?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41The Nootka Sound treaty.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42HE SNIFFS
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It may be written on deerskin.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50So what you're saying is...
0:22:50 > 0:22:56"Brace, do you have any idea where I can find ma ain death warrant?"
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I may need to prove to a tribunal
0:22:58 > 0:23:01that the land was acquired by treaty and not by conquest.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Tribunal?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Or they'll proudly try to seize it and claim it as a spoil of war.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Sir, I have seen nae deerskin treaty,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17nor have I seen fairies or water sprites.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24But what I do have are Malay coins, enough to bury you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Prayer beads, not enough to get you to heaven.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32And hashish, enough to ease my grieving
0:23:32 > 0:23:36when the East India Company slit your throat,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38which, of course, they will.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46HE CHANTS IN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE

0:26:06 > 0:26:07Thank you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11That was turning out to be a long, drawn-out process.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'd benefit from a period of reflection.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Do you have a girl here called Winter?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You can have any girl you want.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I do not have a girl of that name.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24No?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25A mulatto?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I would kill for a mulatto - the Danish pay double.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Hmm...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33I met her.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- People are saying you're mad. - I am.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46MOANING AND GRUNTING IN THE NEXT ROOM
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I like to see what lies beneath.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Hmm?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03You have goodness in you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- What goodness?- You do, you do.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You have goodness in you - I can see it in your eyes...
0:27:10 > 0:27:11HE TUTS
0:27:13 > 0:27:15..and you have the same eyes as her.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Winter, she's your daughter, isn't she?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23And that's why you don't rent her.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Am I wrong?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I would rather that you worked with me rather than against me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Work at what?- Necessary evil.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And whorehouses are full of secrets, and secrets, to me, are weapons.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I would very much like to talk business...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53..but I would like you inside of me, Mr Delaney.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55It's my first condition.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I need to know where Mr Silver Tooth is hiding.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Your new friend.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Do you know him?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- I will ask after the Malay. - Ah...
0:28:12 > 0:28:13..the Malay?
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Hmm.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Thank you for your help.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- MAN:- Mr Delaney?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33I made a fire in your room for the mice.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39In Parliament today, they'll be debating the beating of servants.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41The Whigs want to protect you.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I believe that would lead to anarchy.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Are you not ever hungry?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I ate in the whorehouse.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52To qualify as food, it needs to be solid.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53LOUD SLURPING
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I made some coffee - that'll be stone-cold.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Aren't we all?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Where the hell are you going now?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Someone has been brought to London to try and kill me.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I want to speak to them and ask them why.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Clean it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23BABY CRIES
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- I'm looking for Dr Dumbarton. - Follow the smell inside.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- I'm off-duty. - I have a wound in my left shoulder.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- A bullet wound?- A splinter...
0:34:07 > 0:34:10..from the mast of a ship called the Yankee Prize...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13..that was struck by a Yankee ball.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23So I should call you comrade?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25We shall see.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39How God makes his colours, I know not,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41but I'm pursuing him through his chemicals.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43They said you were a doctor.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49A sheep is a sheep, but also meat and wool.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54This is my pastime - fixing colours in cloth.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58The demand for flags is always high in times of war.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00So you are three things, yes?
0:35:03 > 0:35:04You are a doctor...
0:35:06 > 0:35:07..you are a merchant...
0:35:08 > 0:35:09..and you are a spy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Unless you tell me who sent you,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I will have to ask you to leave at the point of a gun.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16A man who called himself Colonay.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Uh-huh.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Not yet in Hell?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24No, Ponta Delgada and the Azores.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Similar.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- You should know the wound in the shoulder is no longer used by us as a signal.- No?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34No, we change the codes when we think that perhaps
0:35:34 > 0:35:37the scum British have overtaken it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40And you do not trust the name Colonay?
0:35:40 > 0:35:41THE DOCTOR SCOFFS
0:35:41 > 0:35:43What do you want?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I want a line of conference
0:35:46 > 0:35:49with the President of the 15 states of America.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51My name is James Delaney.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53That name means nothing.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But it will to the President and his representatives,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58who are travelling to the negotiations in Ghent.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02The border between the United States and Canada is being drawn up
0:36:02 > 0:36:07in a very...quiet... closed room, no?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12You see, I have something of great value to your nation.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Something the British are trying to kill me for.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25And what?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27You seek protection?
0:36:27 > 0:36:28I have demands.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Demands? - HE LAUGHS
0:36:30 > 0:36:31You tell Carlsbad my name.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- And who's Carlsbad? - Carlsbad is the head
0:36:35 > 0:36:39of the American Society of Secret Correspondence in London.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44I know that name, because Colonay told me it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47He was drunk.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49He was trying to push his jelly up a whore.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Carlsbad will know my name and know my business.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57GUN CLICKS
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I'm afraid you've used the wrong words.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Get out.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Do you treat sickness of the mind, Doctor?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Just keep walking.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15You're mad to have even come here.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19We are an angry nation.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Yeah.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24I'm counting on it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Good day.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42KNOCK ON DOOR
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Post for you, madam.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I intend to begin by reading your father's last will and testament,
0:38:33 > 0:38:38and then I shall try to reason with his creditors.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Have you decided yet what you will do with Nootka?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Yes, I will use it for trade. - With whom?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- There are only savages at Nootka. - Then I will trade with them.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- I hear you bought a ship. - I did,
0:38:53 > 0:38:57then I discovered that it was formerly used for carrying slaves.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I checked the vessel's log and, before it was taken by the Spanish,
0:39:00 > 0:39:03it was once owned by the Honourable East India Company.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05The shackles were all cast in London.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- The East India don't deal slaves. - No, no, they don't.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15But they do run cloth and trade beads to Tangiers
0:39:15 > 0:39:16with the Scarfe family,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18and then slaves to Trinidad...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21..from Bunce Island...
0:39:22 > 0:39:24..through Spanish privateers.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33For one with such close connections, I am surprised that you don't know.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35And what connections are they?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Mr Thoyt...
0:39:40 > 0:39:45..you have been my father's lawyer for the past 40 years.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48And in all that time, you reported every detail
0:39:48 > 0:39:52of his most intimate business to his enemies at the East India Company.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57You are their whore.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02The same as almost everyone else in this city,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05apart from those who are actually labelled a whore.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Come on, James.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18When you left London, the East India was a trading company.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Now it is God Almighty.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23The Prince Regent fears it.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26No government in the world dares to stand up to it.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30It owns the land, the ocean, the fucking sky above our heads.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35It has more men and weapons and ships
0:40:35 > 0:40:38than all the Christian nations combined.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41You think all who submit are evil.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42No.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46We are submitting to the way the world has become.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57All the good men in London...
0:40:58 > 0:41:00..who fight them are washed up at Tilbury.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05They could hold a congress.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Or perhaps they could simply board a ship and sail to Boston,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12where the Company dare not go.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18So...
0:41:18 > 0:41:20you'll add treason to the list?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24The King and Company after your head.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33It's all rabble - pitch makers, carpenters.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Your father didn't pay any bills for four years.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39They feel deeply aggrieved and talk of seizures.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43I'm not being at all fanciful when I ask if you are armed.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I am armed.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51MEN GRUMBLE
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- There he is!- Shame on you!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55VOICE SHOUT OVER EACH OTHER
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Let the man through!
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Where's the money, Delaney?!
0:41:59 > 0:42:00SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Gentleman! You are all here,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11subsequent to a written notice of Horace Delaney's death.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14DERISORY LAUGHTER
0:42:14 > 0:42:15I'll deal first...
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- GAVEL BANGS - ..with the beneficiaries and then
0:42:17 > 0:42:19with the division straight after.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21I said straight after!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- CANE BANGING - Shut up! Let them get on with it.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- THEY QUIETEN DOWN - We've waited long enough.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27MURMURS OF AGREEMENT
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Mr Delaney died a widower.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38He is survived by two children, both present at this division.
0:42:38 > 0:42:44Of his daughter, Zilpha Annabel Delaney, now Zilpha Annabel Geary,
0:42:44 > 0:42:48there is no mention in this last will and testament.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50GASPS AND CHATTER
0:42:51 > 0:42:55To his son, James Keziah Delaney,
0:42:55 > 0:43:00is left the only existing assets of the Delaney estate,
0:43:00 > 0:43:05including the Nootka trading post and landing ground on the Pacific
0:43:05 > 0:43:11north-west coast of the Americas, in what was formerly Spanish America.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Whatever you have, you will sell... - GAVEL BANGS
0:43:14 > 0:43:16There must be order for me to continue!
0:43:16 > 0:43:22- We can leave now.- No. We will haunt this nigger to justice!
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- GAVEL BANGS - He's already haunted.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Come.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30GAVEL BANGS REPEATEDLY, SHOUTING
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Be sure of this, Delaney!
0:43:36 > 0:43:40That legacy is your death sentence!
0:43:40 > 0:43:42SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:43:43 > 0:43:47- GAVEL BANGS REPEATEDLY - Out of my way!
0:43:47 > 0:43:51I must have order in order to continue!
0:43:51 > 0:43:53I dug new foundations for that old bastard...
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- GAVEL BANGS - ..and I never got a penny.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59The son does not inherit the debts of the father.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01SHOUTING
0:44:01 > 0:44:07James Delaney has declared a new trading company in his own name.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12COIN RATTLES ON THE FLOOR
0:44:14 > 0:44:21And my father's debts amounted to a sum total of £215 and 17 shillings.
0:44:23 > 0:44:28Behold, £215 and 17 shillings.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Mr Thoyt will pay each one of you exactly what you are due,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36but you will form an orderly line.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44You will form an orderly line.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46MOVEMENT
0:44:46 > 0:44:48QUIET CHATTER
0:44:48 > 0:44:49- MAN:- Orderly!
0:44:51 > 0:44:54I didn't expect that. He's a better man than his father.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Hurry up!
0:44:56 > 0:44:58At least he's sorting his father's debts.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02What I'm owed isn't in that pile of coins...
0:45:04 > 0:45:07..since I'm not listed on the final division notice.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11You see? The old skinflint didn't even pay for his whores!
0:45:11 > 0:45:14LAUGHTER
0:45:14 > 0:45:16And what exactly is it that my father owed you?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21He owed me a lifetime of care.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25A lifetime of devotion.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28He owed me kisses and love.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34He owed me a home and a fire and perhaps children some day.
0:45:34 > 0:45:40In short, he owed me all that is due from a husband to a wife.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47My name is Lorna Delaney, formerly Lorna Bow,
0:45:47 > 0:45:48and, two years ago in Dublin,
0:45:48 > 0:45:50- Horace Delaney and I were married. - MURMURING
0:45:50 > 0:45:53And I have proof that I am his widow.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I'll have my clerks divide up the silver.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Madam?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Come to my office.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Calm, pretty, certain, fragrant.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13Calm, pretty, certain, fragrant.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22This is an Irish document.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26It may take a little time to validate.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27I can wait.
0:46:27 > 0:46:32But Mr Delaney's son knew nothing of any marriage.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35How would he? He was in Africa.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37But he often spoke of you. He was very, very proud.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- Why Dublin? - Well, he was on business.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Yes, but your business is here, isn't it?
0:46:42 > 0:46:45You're an actress who appeared on stage at the Theatre Royal
0:46:45 > 0:46:48in Covent Garden in a play called The Painted Savage.
0:46:48 > 0:46:53I found a programme with an illustration in an empty drawer.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Well, if my likeness was in there, the drawer wasn't empty.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58If the paperwork from Dublin is validated,
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Miss Bow will have a legal claim against his estate
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- as widow. - Mrs Delaney is my name.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Bow was the name that I used for the stage.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08- Are you a good actress? - Your father thought so.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12And was that before or after he lost his mind?
0:47:12 > 0:47:16Well, love is a kind of madness, isn't it, Mr Thoyt?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Or have you never experienced it?
0:47:20 > 0:47:24My father was a very sick and old man.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Do you have proof of consummation?
0:47:27 > 0:47:31I have letters, many letters professing his feelings for me.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34A line from memory is...
0:47:34 > 0:47:37"Oh, Lorna, it is in a moment
0:47:37 > 0:47:40"that I would leave this cursed house by the river
0:47:40 > 0:47:44"and go to the Americas with you and live there, naked and savage,
0:47:44 > 0:47:47"and yet, we would have each other and be together."
0:47:48 > 0:47:50That kind of thing.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Do you possess any other documents of his?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54- I have letters. - Other than letters?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Well, what kind of documents?
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Well, proof will come from pen and ink.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07I will dispatch an enquiry to the Trinity Church in Dublin
0:48:07 > 0:48:11and request a personal account from the priest. Until then,
0:48:11 > 0:48:15I suggest you two refrain from any further contact with each other.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Well, I have no love for the theatre.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21And I spend very little time in German brothels.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27MEN CHATTER
0:48:35 > 0:48:37MEN SNIGGER
0:48:40 > 0:48:44Was he in there? The man - did you see him in the room?
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Yeah. It was him that came to the door and was indeed in the room.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52He was the one who declared your legacy a death sentence.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Hmm. You, er...
0:48:56 > 0:48:58You want him to fall into the river, James?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02No, the river will take him of its own accord.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07Here.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39So, gentlemen...
0:49:40 > 0:49:42..tell us of this widow.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Can none of you read?
0:49:50 > 0:49:55Or are you all too busy trying to catch my eye and only pretending
0:49:55 > 0:49:59to read the agenda before stretching your necks again?
0:50:00 > 0:50:01You, what's your name?
0:50:03 > 0:50:05- Godfrey, Sir.- Well...
0:50:07 > 0:50:13..Godfrey, read aloud item nine on the agenda list of ten.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17"During the final division of the estate of Horace Delaney,
0:50:17 > 0:50:20"there appeared...an actress."
0:50:20 > 0:50:22An actress.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Who claims to be the widow.
0:50:25 > 0:50:30A dispatch arrived from Dublin. The marriage is confirmed
0:50:30 > 0:50:33- and is legal. - CANE TAPPING
0:50:34 > 0:50:38What is the significance of this, Mr Godfrey?
0:50:40 > 0:50:44It's not written down. You have to work it out.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46HE SCOFFS
0:50:46 > 0:50:49- Pettifer.- Hmm?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51The girl is an opportunity.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58Thoyt, tell them the possibilities of this "opportunity".
0:50:59 > 0:51:03She would have a claim against James Delaney for
0:51:03 > 0:51:06shared ownership of Nootka.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Bravo.
0:51:08 > 0:51:14A whore actress to the rescue of the mighty East.
0:51:14 > 0:51:19It is not a foregone conclusion. She would need to file suit.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Oh, Mr Thoyt.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26This widow will have sole claim on Nootka
0:51:26 > 0:51:29in the event of James Delaney's death.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38An event which may be imminent.

0:53:13 > 0:53:14What?
0:53:14 > 0:53:16I missed you. I couldn't bear to see you alone.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Do you know, this is so old, I could even laugh at you?
0:53:20 > 0:53:21And yet you came outside to see me.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Because, otherwise, you would've come to me
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- and made very loud declarations.- I would, yes.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Is it my loudness that troubles you?
0:53:28 > 0:53:29In the forest, no.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32In the jungle, no.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38You used to straighten your skirt
0:53:38 > 0:53:42and march away like nothing had ever happened.
0:53:43 > 0:53:44Who marched away?
0:53:48 > 0:53:49And thank God you did.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52God?
0:53:53 > 0:53:57- This is very simple, James.- Hmm? - Take away a little ancient history.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59- You live in the East, I live in the West.- Mm-hm.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02There are no practical difficulties.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06Apart from that great big river that connects us.
0:54:09 > 0:54:10Did you really eat flesh?
0:54:16 > 0:54:20Why don't you tell your friends that you're sick

0:54:34 > 0:54:36- this close to me... - Well, that is a shame, isn't it?
