00:00:17,322 --> 00:00:20,When you first came back,
you told me you loved me.

00:00:20,082 --> 00:00:21,There is no us.

00:00:22,072 --> 00:00:25,I'm investigating the sinking of
a sloop called the Cornwallis.

00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:29,I want you to write an account
naming Sir Stuart Strange

00:00:29,502 --> 00:00:32,as the man who organised
the loading with slaves.

00:00:33,792 --> 00:00:35,For the safe.

00:00:36,942 --> 00:00:39,You witnessed the division of the gunpowder

00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:41,and you heard its destination?

00:00:41,722 --> 00:00:45,On direct instruction of
James Delaney himself, sir.

00:00:45,082 --> 00:00:48,We have Delaney, we have Nootka,
we have the China trade.

00:00:50,042 --> 00:00:52,They will walk you along a tightrope.

00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:54,A line between life and death.

00:00:54,932 --> 00:00:57,I will give you all the
information that you request.

00:00:57,752 --> 00:01:00,In return, I will need a single
meeting with Sir Stuart Strange.

00:01:00,942 --> 00:01:03,If your witness is Delaney,

00:01:03,072 --> 00:01:05,he is being held in the Tower of London,

00:01:05,512 --> 00:01:07,charged with treason.

00:01:07,052 --> 00:01:09,No, I have another witness.

00:01:09,162 --> 00:01:11,When my ship is ready, I will send for you.

00:01:11,392 --> 00:01:12,You don't have a bloody ship!

00:01:12,912 --> 00:01:14,Brace, I spoke to a witness.

00:01:14,552 --> 00:01:15,It wasn't James that killed the girl,

00:01:15,912 --> 00:01:17,it was the East India Company.

00:01:17,542 --> 00:01:19,I need to tell James.
They've g***t him.

00:01:19,852 --> 00:01:20,Where is he?

00:01:20,693 --> 00:01:22,They took him to the Tower.

00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:23,I'm here.

00:01:23,852 --> 00:01:25,I have a use for you.

00:02:29,872 --> 00:02:31,Dear James...

00:02:32,032 --> 00:02:35,at last, I have found a way out of the cage

00:02:35,112 --> 00:02:36,in which I have been living.

00:02:37,682 --> 00:02:40,Eyes I didn't know I had were opened.

00:02:41,322 --> 00:02:46,I saw the limits of my life,
the iron bars around my soul.

00:02:47,372 --> 00:02:50,At last, I found a way
to slip between them.

00:02:52,342 --> 00:02:56,I intend to leave society, leave
London, leave England behind,

00:02:57,032 --> 00:02:59,travel to a place where I will be free.

00:03:01,372 --> 00:03:03,It is a place where, someday,

00:03:03,072 --> 00:03:05,I hope we will meet and be happy.

00:03:25,752 --> 00:03:28,In those days, I always chose boys

00:03:28,502 --> 00:03:31,who had the shadow of death on them.

00:03:31,342 --> 00:03:34,I thought they would be
less likely to return.

00:03:34,692 --> 00:03:37,Of course, they do return...

00:03:38,502 --> 00:03:39,as ghosts.

00:03:41,172 --> 00:03:43,Now I'm older...
How many boys?

00:03:46,012 --> 00:03:50,How many Company boys did you
send to crew your private ships?

00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:56,Please, don't believe that I will
say anything to confirm or deny

00:03:56,352 --> 00:03:59,any action past, present or future,

00:04:00,052 --> 00:04:04,in any regard whatsoever to this business.

00:04:10,692 --> 00:04:12,But the point is, you see...

00:04:14,092 --> 00:04:16,You didn't die, did you?

00:04:17,682 --> 00:04:21,Not even over there, where everyone dies.

00:04:26,092 --> 00:04:27,No.

00:04:29,422 --> 00:04:30,No, I did not.

00:04:33,192 --> 00:04:35,I was rescued by an African...

00:04:37,472 --> 00:04:39,who saved me...

00:04:39,962 --> 00:04:41,and he cured me...

00:04:43,522 --> 00:04:45,and he showed me to myself.

00:04:50,782 --> 00:04:55,The things I did in Africa make
your transactions look paltry.

00:04:59,002 --> 00:05:02,I witnessed and participated

00:05:02,332 --> 00:05:04,in darkness that you cannot conceive.

00:05:07,812 --> 00:05:11,And will you be including
that in your account

00:05:11,092 --> 00:05:12,to the Royal Commission?

00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:13,No.

00:05:14,402 --> 00:05:17,Luckily, I'm not being
tried for that today.

00:05:31,792 --> 00:05:34,They serve good hock to traitors.

00:05:34,482 --> 00:05:36,Perhaps you'll be served the same.

00:05:44,372 --> 00:05:48,I understand you asked poor, sweet Godfrey

00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:50,to write an account, too.
Hmm.

00:05:58,372 --> 00:06:01,I assume you want to make
some sort of a deal?

00:06:22,462 --> 00:06:24,Is this the extent of your ambition?

00:06:29,042 --> 00:06:31,It is in return for my silence,

00:06:32,032 --> 00:06:34,and for Godfrey to burn his account.

00:06:37,002 --> 00:06:38,No.

00:06:38,962 --> 00:06:40,I can't deliver that.

00:06:40,262 --> 00:06:42,Then you had better get used to the taste.

00:06:48,962 --> 00:06:51,I'm working on this, here.

00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:54,"When the Cornwallis left Cabinda

00:06:54,622 --> 00:06:56,"And became the Influence,

00:06:57,062 --> 00:07:00,"It was I, James Delaney,

00:07:00,472 --> 00:07:04,"Who stowed the Jack and Company flags."

00:07:07,072 --> 00:07:11,"An East India ship, renamed,

00:07:12,322 --> 00:07:15,"Laden with illegal slaves

00:07:16,252 --> 00:07:19,"And flying the Stars and Stripes...

00:07:23,572 --> 00:07:27,"At the direct request
of Sir Stuart Strange."

00:07:29,352 --> 00:07:30,That's treason.

00:07:36,372 --> 00:07:38,One living witness.

00:07:38,182 --> 00:07:41,In one hour, I will be interviewed
by the King's private secretary,

00:07:41,422 --> 00:07:43,three attorneys and half a dozen clerks.

00:07:45,142 --> 00:07:46,They will want it in writing.

00:07:49,342 --> 00:07:52,And at midday, Godfrey,

00:07:53,662 --> 00:07:55,poor, sweet Godfrey...

00:07:57,002 --> 00:07:59,He will deliver his own account
to the Royal Commission,

00:07:59,842 --> 00:08:02,confirming how you concealed

00:08:02,432 --> 00:08:05,your ownership of this ship

00:08:05,972 --> 00:08:07,and its cargo...

00:08:10,852 --> 00:08:12,by committing treason.

00:08:16,002 --> 00:08:18,So that's one living witness

00:08:18,582 --> 00:08:21,and one account from an
East India Company clerk,

00:08:21,692 --> 00:08:26,prepared to give information
heard under a raised hand.

00:08:37,902 --> 00:08:38,Keep it.

00:08:40,132 --> 00:08:41,I remember it all.

00:08:47,232 --> 00:08:48,I need a ship.

00:08:50,872 --> 00:08:53,You have four hours.

00:09:02,322 --> 00:09:04,Brace? I'm going out.

00:09:05,542 --> 00:09:06,I need to see someone.

00:09:20,612 --> 00:09:21,From Mr Delaney.

00:09:37,422 --> 00:09:38,Mr Cholmondeley!

00:09:39,692 --> 00:09:40,Mr Cholmondeley!

00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:43,Mr Cholmondeley!

00:09:48,292 --> 00:09:52,I have a message for you,
sir, from Mr Delaney.

00:09:55,242 --> 00:09:56,How the hell did he find me?

00:09:57,232 --> 00:10:00,Just humour me. I'm a
scientist, so I'm curious.

00:10:01,502 --> 00:10:03,He sees me in my dreams.

00:10:05,382 --> 00:10:06,Is that it?

00:10:09,072 --> 00:10:10,I just deliver messages, sir.

00:10:25,142 --> 00:10:26,Atticus!

00:10:28,802 --> 00:10:29,Good boy.

00:10:32,612 --> 00:10:33,Wilton!

00:10:34,292 --> 00:10:35,Pettifer!

00:10:40,122 --> 00:10:41,Ah, f***k it!

00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:55,Gentlemen, there are
things I need you to do.

00:11:00,352 --> 00:11:01,Are you going to teach me, then?

00:11:01,822 --> 00:11:03,Yeah, go on, go on, hit the ball.

00:11:07,642 --> 00:11:08,Swing for it, then.

00:11:09,212 --> 00:11:11,You're not holding it tight enough!

00:11:16,252 --> 00:11:17,Where's the other one?

00:11:17,243 --> 00:11:19,Sorry, sir.
She don't speak, she's in mourning.

00:11:20,642 --> 00:11:21,Fetch her.

00:11:23,172 --> 00:11:24,I've had a coach drawn up.

00:11:24,722 --> 00:11:27,You ladies are going on
a tour of the grounds.

00:11:28,402 --> 00:11:30,At the point of a bayonet, if necessary.

00:11:31,132 --> 00:11:32,Bring her!

00:11:33,312 --> 00:11:34,Come on!

00:11:34,832 --> 00:11:36,I want to know where you're taking us.

00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:39,In.

00:11:44,762 --> 00:11:45,Go!

00:12:27,532 --> 00:12:29,Tell them that I'm not ready.

00:12:31,572 --> 00:12:33,I need to see a doctor.

00:12:47,782 --> 00:12:48,Watch him!

00:12:55,392 --> 00:12:57,Mr Delaney is in need of a doctor, sir.

00:12:59,732 --> 00:13:01,He must be bluffing.

00:13:02,552 --> 00:13:05,Or has he fallen off the tightrope?

00:13:10,312 --> 00:13:12,Well, you go and bring...
