0:00:02 > 0:00:09This programme contains some violent scenes, strong language
0:00:09 > 0:00:16and scenes which some viewers may find disturbing from the start.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17For the safe.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22You witnessed the division of the gunpowder
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and you heard its destination?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27On direct instruction of James Delaney himself, sir.
0:00:27 > 0:00:32We have Delaney, we have Nootka, we have the China trade.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They will walk you along a tightrope.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37A line between life and death.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I will give you all the information that you request.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43In return, I will need a single meeting with Sir Stuart Strange.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48If your witness is Delaney, he is being held in the Tower of London,
0:00:48 > 0:00:49charged with treason.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52No, I have another witness.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54When my ship is ready, I will send for you.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55You don't have a bloody ship!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Brace, I spoke to a witness.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It wasn't James that killed the girl,
0:00:59 > 0:01:00it was the East India Company.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- I need to tell James. - They've got him.- Where is he?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05They took him to the Tower.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06I'm here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I have a use for you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- ZILPHA:- 'Dear James...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'at last, I have found a way out of the cage
0:02:17 > 0:02:19'in which I have been living.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24'Eyes I didn't know I had were opened.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30'I saw the limits of my life, the iron bars around my soul.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33'At last, I found a way to slip between them.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39'I intend to leave society, leave London, leave England behind,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42'travel to a place where I will be free.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45'It is a place where, someday,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'I hope we will meet and be happy.'
0:02:51 > 0:02:53BELL RINGS
0:03:08 > 0:03:14In those days, I always chose boys who had the shadow of death on them.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I thought they would be less likely to return.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Of course, they do return...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22..as ghosts.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Now I'm older...- How many boys?
0:03:28 > 0:03:33How many Company boys did you send to crew your private ships?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Please, don't believe that I will say anything to confirm or deny
0:03:39 > 0:03:42any action past, present or future,
0:03:42 > 0:03:47in any regard whatsoever to this business.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Hmm...
0:03:53 > 0:03:54But the point is, you see...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59..YOU didn't die, did you?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Not even over there, where everyone dies.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09No.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13No, I did not.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I was rescued by an African...
0:04:20 > 0:04:21..who saved me...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24..and he cured me...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28..and he showed me to myself.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38The things I did in Africa make your transactions look paltry.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47I witnessed and participated in darkness that you cannot conceive.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And will you be including that in your account
0:04:53 > 0:04:54to the Royal Commission?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55No.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Luckily, I'm not being tried for that today.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Oh. - SIR STUART CHUCKLES
0:05:14 > 0:05:17They serve good hock to traitors.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Perhaps you'll be served the same.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20HE LAUGHS
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Hmm...
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I understand you asked poor, sweet Godfrey
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- to write an account, too.- Hmm.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39HE SIGHS
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I assume you want to make some sort of a deal?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Is this the extent of your ambition?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11SIR STUART LAUGHS
0:06:11 > 0:06:15It is in return for my silence,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and for Godfrey to burn his account.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21No.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I can't deliver that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Then you had better get used to the taste.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm working on this, here.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37"When the Cornwallis left Cabinda
0:06:37 > 0:06:39"and became the Influence,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43"it was I, James Delaney,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46"who stowed the Jack and Company flags."
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Tut, tut, tut.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55"An East India ship, renamed,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58"laden with illegal slaves
0:06:58 > 0:07:01"and flying the Stars and Stripes...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09"..at the direct request of Sir Stuart Strange."
0:07:12 > 0:07:13That's treason.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21One living witness.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24In one hour, I will be interviewed by the King's private secretary,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27three attorneys and half a dozen clerks.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30They will want it in writing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Hmm?
0:07:32 > 0:07:38And at midday, Godfrey, poor, sweet Godfrey...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42..he will deliver his own account to the Royal Commission,
0:07:42 > 0:07:48confirming how YOU concealed your ownership of this ship
0:07:48 > 0:07:49and its cargo...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55..by committing treason.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01So that's one living witness
0:08:01 > 0:08:04and one account from an East India Company clerk,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08prepared to give information heard under a raised hand.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Keep it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I remember it all.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I need a ship.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36YOU have four hours.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43BELL RINGS
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Brace? I'm going out.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I need to see someone.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04From Mr Delaney.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19SNORING
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- HURRIED FOOTSTEPS - Mr Cholmondeley!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Mr Cholmondeley!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Mr Cholmondeley!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I have a message for you, sir, from Mr Delaney.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39How the hell did he find me?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Just humour me. I'm a scientist, so I'm curious.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45He sees me in my dreams.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Is that it?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I just deliver messages, sir.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01DOG BARKS
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Atticus!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Good boy.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Wilton!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Pettifer!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Ah, fuck it!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34HURRIED FOOTSTEPS
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Gentlemen, there are things I need you to do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Are you going to teach me, then?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yeah, go on, go on, hit the ball.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49SHE GIGGLES
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Swing for it, then.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53You're not holding it tight enough!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Where's the other one?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Sorry, sir. - She don't speak, she's in mourning.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Fetch her.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I've had a coach drawn up.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10You ladies are going on a tour of the grounds.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13At the point of a bayonet, if necessary.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Bring her!
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Come on!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I want to know where you're taking us.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21In.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Go!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41JAMES SPEAKS TWI
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Tell them that I'm not ready.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15I need to see a doctor.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19JAMES GAGS
0:12:26 > 0:12:28JAMES CHOKES AND GAGS
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Watch him!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Mr Delaney is in need of a doctor, sir.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43He must be bluffing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Or has he fallen off the tightrope?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Well, you go and bring the doctor, then.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01And we can all pray to God that we haven't completely fried his brain.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Hold up!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Out! The rest of you, out now!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28These gentlemen are actually here to rescue you.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Atticus?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34If it was down to me, you'd have been dead long ago.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Delaney orders you shouldn't be harmed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39There's still plenty of cocks left for you to suck.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42The agreement is that you take the ladies away in the coach
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and I walk back to the house and report that they were kidnapped.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50But in truth, your beloved child was killed for a greater purpose.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Isn't that right, Mr Pettifer?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01There is an agreement in place between my master and yours.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Indeed there is.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06HORSE NEIGHS, WOMEN GASP
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Get in.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Drive on!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28DOOR OPENS
0:14:28 > 0:14:31A brig called the Good Hope.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It is fitted out for a voyage to Constantinople
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and is set to leave tomorrow on the ebb.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Is it yet loaded?- No.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Draw up papers to have it diverted.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Have it rowed to Wapping Wall by a skeleton crew.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's to be tied up, with only provisions onboard.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Enough for a crew of 15 for a...
0:14:55 > 0:14:57two-month journey.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- For what reason, sir?- Hmm?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03What I mean is, what is the official reason I should give
0:15:03 > 0:15:04in the daybook?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08The official reason. Well, let's see...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11"The Good Hope was taken to Wapping Wall for an
0:15:11 > 0:15:15"unannounced inspection of its hull for short measure of tar, in case of
0:15:15 > 0:15:18"fraudulent accounting by the ship fitters, Master and Preece."
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Hmm? Put that in the daybook.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And what is the official reason for sending two Company dray carts
0:15:26 > 0:15:28to Bedlam Insane Asylum?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Because this whole thing is insane.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Because this day is insane, because Delaney is insane!
0:15:38 > 0:15:39- Because- I- am insane!
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Just do it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Should we await Mr Pettifer's return?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49No, we should not await Mr Pettifer's return.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Just fuck off, will you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Come on, out. We need to burn this.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Atticus, I want an explanation. - Helga, get in!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Come on!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It's all right. You've nothing to fear.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44What?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Temple was on the foreshore.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49He saw James sleeping in the mud and Winter lay down beside him.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53He then saw a man arrive in a boat.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56"Moving like a ghost," wasn't he?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It was this ghost that killed your Winter, as she slept.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05The man then got back in the boat, Temple followed him along
0:17:05 > 0:17:08the foreshore, where he was met by someone on the other side.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11They were in a carriage,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13like the one you just came out of.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16The East India Company?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Is that the truth, little boy?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You know what happens to little boys that lie, don't you?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27I swear, it's the truth.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33James is offering you a new start.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So, James...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Things that go bang...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09BIRDS CHIRP
0:18:18 > 0:18:20There.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21There.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Things that cause confusion.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46His Majesty's representatives want to know how much longer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Another half an hour, at least.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53DOOR SLAMS
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I swear to God, he was beaten half to death
0:18:57 > 0:19:00before he yelped, "Enough!"
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Why do so many of them choose to be beaten?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Power. One told me it's like pissing.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You build up the power inside your belly and then you need to let
0:19:09 > 0:19:13it out, and a good thrashing from a Countess does the trick, apparently.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15ALL LAUGH
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Full house.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Shall we refer our opinions to Dr Gin?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23(Who on earth is that?)
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Countess...
0:19:26 > 0:19:27I thought you'd be alone.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Well, as you can see, I am not.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- What do you want?- Well, I believe we have an appointment.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37My only appointment is with intoxication.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40As you may recall, I represent a company which produces
0:19:40 > 0:19:43products which restore and enhance female beauty.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47And also a certain feminine product,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49which you may prefer to discuss in private.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I don't recall.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Pixie, perhaps as well as medicine for your poor, worn-out chuff,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56the lady may have something to repair a faulty memory.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Mm!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Do you have a beauty product which would bag me an admiral?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I have a product which would allow you to accommodate an entire fleet,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07without discomfort - admiral and rear admiral.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08ALL LAUGH
0:20:08 > 0:20:11My products include paints and oils,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14but...in particular, powder.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20And for those of us who have secrets, marks, blemishes...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24..we have ways of preserving those secrets.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Those who use it will do almost anything for it,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31when their supply is exhausted.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33The name of the powder is Collonade.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37And you have samples?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Indeed. Perhaps I could show you in person how to apply it
0:20:40 > 0:20:41for best advantage?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Ladies, I will be back before the sandwiches.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51How dull life was before Musgrove.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- LORNA GASPS - What the fuck are you doing?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Coming to my house and talking of powder?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I work for James Delaney.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- He's in the Tower.- Not for long.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06He sails today.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09And he requires the letter for safe passage,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11the codes for the flags.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14And I get the Treaty in return?
0:21:16 > 0:21:17No.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21No, you see, there's a letter which we will send to Solomon Coop,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24revealing that you titillate and intoxicate
0:21:24 > 0:21:26on behalf of the Americans.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31If I fail to return, it will be delivered by midday.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36James Delaney also says to tell Collonade
0:21:36 > 0:21:39that you do, indeed, have a leaky ship.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But he's found the leak and will fix it,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44as long as YOU cooperate.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47James?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What are you to him?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm Mrs Delaney.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55His wife.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56No.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59His mother.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- OUTSIDE:- # Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clements
0:22:23 > 0:22:28# You owe me five farthings, say the bells of St Martin's
0:22:29 > 0:22:34# When will you pay me, say the bells of Old Bailey. #
0:22:34 > 0:22:35This just arrived for you, sir.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Thank you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42# When I grow rich, say the bells of Shoreditch. #
0:22:43 > 0:22:45"The whores are freed."
0:22:49 > 0:22:51JAMES GRUNTS I'm ready.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54No, you're not. I'm not finished.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55I'm ready.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Come on!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So, erm, now the witness is sewn together...

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I will tell you one thing, though...
0:25:10 > 0:25:12All the charges of treason brought against me
0:25:12 > 0:25:15by the members of the East India Company...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18..they will be dropped...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20..before midday.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31'My cage is my flesh, I can shed it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34'The River Thames will take me to God.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38'Death is just the turning of a key in a lock.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42'Whether God will accept me is another matter,
0:28:42 > 0:28:46'perhaps my husband will have spoken of my betrayal.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51'Or perhaps my feelings for you, unforgiveable feelings for you,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55'will mean the Thames will take me to a different place.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59'Whatever my destination, if you survive your recklessness,
0:28:59 > 0:29:04'please, keep some part of my soul inside your own.'
0:29:18 > 0:29:20James, James!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I have it, I have the safe passage.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23It damn near killed me.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29What are you doing? We should be leaving.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54If she were dead, I would know it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00I would hear her...
0:30:02 > 0:30:03..and I would feel it...
0:30:05 > 0:30:09..as if there were a door open in this very house.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10- Oh, James.- No.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12No.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19If she was in the river...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23..she would sing to me.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29And I would hear her.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Her words are very certain.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33How did I not know?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Because the dead don't sing.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52If they don't sing, then how do I hear them?
0:31:01 > 0:31:06That is a question to be asked and answered in America.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Is it not?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Tide's rising.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26You've lots of people waiting for you,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29people who have given up everything for you, James.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36The tide ebbs, she'll still be gone.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38The tide won't bring her back.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42You know, we could just sit here in these rotting chairs
0:31:42 > 0:31:44in this shitty house
0:31:44 > 0:31:46and die, like rats, like your father.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50HE GROANS
0:31:59 > 0:32:01We ought to go to Nootka.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07If anything...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11..it's a fine day to die at sea.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I have some unfinished business to take care of. I'll be back.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39We'll board together.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Get over there! Get over there!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Come on! Yah!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Straight to the ship. Come on, boys, keep going.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Straight through. Yah!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Sir? Excuse me, sir?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Sir! Sir, you can't just... - Let me through!
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Let him in, let him in.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Mr Chichester, how goes your investigation?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21THIS will not stand.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Oh, but it will! It always does.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Delaney would not make a deal with YOU.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31The record will show that the EIC cooperated with your commission
0:33:31 > 0:33:36into the sinking of the Influence, fully and without reservation.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- HE CHUCKLES - You're an idealist.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Delaney and I are realists.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48But the difference between Delaney and me
0:33:48 > 0:33:53is that I always make sure I have one last ace to play.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Good day, Mr Chichester.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I swear...
0:34:03 > 0:34:06THIS...will not stand.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13HE LAUGHS
0:34:18 > 0:34:19Argh...
0:34:22 > 0:34:25God! You look like you need laudanum.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34I have an hour. I need to be on the water by high tide.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- You have a ship?- Hmm.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41This laudanum is diluted somewhat with burdock,
0:34:41 > 0:34:42so you can continue to function.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46But I doubt you'd be able to steer a ship to America.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48You have people with you?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Ah!
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Mr Delaney, I'm sure that you're probably expecting me
0:35:00 > 0:35:02to hand you your letter of safe passage.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06But, I'm afraid, it isn't going to be that simple.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Nothing in this war between cousins is simple.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15There's just a small hurdle that you have to leap over first.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Take a look.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27It's a deed of transfer.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Hmm?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Transferring my title to Nootka Sound
0:35:33 > 0:35:35to the East India Company?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40And your friend, Stuart Strange.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Mm...
0:35:46 > 0:35:49When I first met you,
0:35:49 > 0:35:54you told me that a sheep can be meat,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56but it can also be wool.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59At first, the code eluded me.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02But then I realised, it's not even a code, is it?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You're simply somebody's meat boy.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10You present yourself as an agent of the free states of America,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12like a good little sheep.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17But long since, you've been dangled in front
0:36:17 > 0:36:19of the King of England
0:36:19 > 0:36:22by the East India Company.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Hmm?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Now you're scrabbling, desperate.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Pulling your wool over everybody's eyes.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Possibly even your own.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Does it even matter?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56JAMES WINCES No.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58JAMES GROANS
0:37:04 > 0:37:08No-one in this city has only one master.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Pen.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21I do.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- ZILPHA:- 'James, you came back.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24'You told me you loved me.'
0:38:25 > 0:38:27My sister.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31'James.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34'You shall see me again.'

0:39:14 > 0:39:16HE GRUNTS
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Yes, sir?- Both hands. Good boy.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Has he bothered to employ anyone who can actually sail that thing?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36ROBERT GIGGLES
0:39:37 > 0:39:42No sparks, no flames, no inflammatory comments.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'm covered in explosives.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48MEN ALL CHATTER
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Oi! What you lookin' at? Get a move on.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Come on! Load her up!
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Oi, get 'em.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Where is Delaney?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Busy.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08She is now under the flag of the Honourable East India,
0:40:08 > 0:40:09so you will have no hindrance.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Tell Mr Delaney he may have won this small battle,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18but justice will be delivered to him by God.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Kind regards from Stuart Strange.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Get the body in the river, get the powder on the ship.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Move!- Come on, shift your arse! Get it loaded now!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Oi! Get it loaded!
0:40:37 > 0:40:40How is your religion these days, Coop?
0:40:40 > 0:40:41My what?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Your religion, your faith.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44After many years in your service,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47it is in rags and tatters, Your Highness.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50And have you spoken about all this with God?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Well, I discuss things...
0:40:54 > 0:40:56..with my wife, in bed.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I talk to God.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I spoke to Him just now.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04And what did God say?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Conversations between monarchs and God are private,
0:41:08 > 0:41:10but I will give you the gist of it.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Due to this monumental balls-up,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16everyone must hang.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21East India, Americans, Irish, French,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23dogs, cats, rabbits. Why not?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Your Highness...- Priests, clerks, fitters...- ..there is little doubt
0:41:26 > 0:41:28in my mind that senior directors at the East India
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- have done a deal with Delaney. - ..chimpan-fucking-zees.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Just fucking kill him!
0:41:32 > 0:41:35If he dies, then Nootka goes to the Americans, as per his will.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Fuck Nootka!
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Fuck wills!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Fuck treaties!
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I'm the head of fucking state!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45And by the command of His Majesty...
0:41:47 > 0:41:49..kill him.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Mary, Mary, out of the way!
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Where are you keeping everyone?
0:42:04 > 0:42:05In there.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Right.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18You good?
0:42:18 > 0:42:2015 minutes until high tide.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39So, charges?
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Yeah, yeah, the chemist.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42He's a nightmare.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Cole will kill him with his own cock if he's not shot today.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46- Can't kill him.- Why?
0:42:46 > 0:42:47We need him.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49He's a doctor.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Is the powder on the ship?
0:42:52 > 0:42:5655 kegs onboard, 15 on the dock and two in the water.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Right. Well, when we are 60 and ten,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I need you to take the pilgrims and put them on the ship
0:43:01 > 0:43:03before the ebb.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Where are you going?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06To explain the plans.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I don't want you to tell them the plans.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Besides, you're not coming.
0:43:11 > 0:43:12What?
0:43:12 > 0:43:17Brace, you have always been my father's man, in my father's world.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19We're headed to my mother's now.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24James, tell me this, too, is mercy.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26I'm an old man, I would never survive.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Tell me that's the reason.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38Brace, you were not born for freedom.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42You wouldn't know what to do with it.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45It would torture you.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Now, go home.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Everything belongs to you now.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55The soldiers are here!
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Atticus! Bill!
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Right, Robert, get down there, tell them to hurry up with that cargo.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Quick!
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Keep moving, all of you. Fast!
0:44:03 > 0:44:06All right, you lot, you heard him - move!
0:44:06 > 0:44:08The soldiers are coming. Hurry up!
0:44:08 > 0:44:09Come on, chop chop, let's go!
