00:45Jazz it's powder that's not ready to be moved because it is unstable
00:49We are leaving because we have been betrayed so Stewart just wants you to know it's war

01:43¶¶
02:13Dear Lord, we are gathered in your presence here today
02:23on this most sorrowful occasion to say farewell to winter.
02:34Pure of her love of the world, untouched, pure,
02:40pure, commended to God.
02:43She will not be covered in earth as corrupted flesh,
02:48but instead will be sent to you aboard a sunrise.
02:54No, I can't read the next word.
02:57I'll see you aboard a sunrise along the road of the river
03:00that she loved as if it were her father.
03:04Along the road of the river she loved as if it were her father.
03:08What's this?
03:23Package for Mr. Delaney.
03:26I believe this one is a ward of your master
03:29who asked me specifically to deliver him in person to this house today.
03:35He's not in. What a surprise.
03:39Mr. Chumley.
03:42Miss Bo.
03:43What's going on?
03:44A bastard.
03:45I thought in all your charity you might extend some sustenance,
03:50some shelter to this poor unfortunate boy.
03:54What's your name?
03:56Robert.
03:57It's Robert.
03:58You know James Delaney, do you?
04:01Yes.
04:03Come into the house.
04:04We'll find you something to eat and somewhere to sleep.
04:15Take into your loving arms this purest flake of snow.
04:20My daughter.
04:22My light.
04:23My love.
04:25My winter.
04:29I thought I might find you here.
04:37You've a heart at least.
04:38I'm just looking for a ship.
04:41Watching what comes and goes.
04:45I know you didn't do it.
04:46And how would you know that?
04:47Hm?
04:48I very well may have.
04:50You might have done.
04:53But I do know you cared for her.
04:56You were kind to her as she told me.
04:58You were kind to her as she told me.
05:00Hmm
05:06I very well may have hmm. You might have done. I
05:12Do know you cared for your kind to her she told me
05:30Boy Roberts arrived
06:00Oh
06:06You okay
06:09Hello, you know winter. She your friend
06:16No, no, no, no, no wait
06:30Do you think that this will be enough to sink her? I've committed many bodies to the deep in this way
06:42None have returned to London
06:51I'm sorry for your loss
06:54You will find a place where the current will take you to the white ocean
06:57It's where she wanted to be
07:02The river will only take her body
07:05I will keep her soul
07:11There's no certainty it was James you did it
07:15There's no certainty that he did not
07:27I'm getting scared James
07:31Too many bodies in the river
07:36Can I sleep under your house tonight?
07:38No, go away. I'm not fit to be near you now
07:44James
07:45You're among them now aren't you?
07:50You're among them now aren't you?
07:52The ones who used to sing to me
07:55The ones who used to sing to me
07:59Hmm
08:01Hmm
08:02Hmm
08:12Why did my hand
08:29Bryce
08:32Can I see?
08:50I received a message that you wish to speak with me
08:52After you have eluded me, so long
09:00May I sit?
09:02Hmm
09:04I need to know why you're seeking me
09:06First, I must tell you that I already know many things about you
09:21I need to be clear that you're not a spirit like the others
09:25No, I'm a rationalist
09:27I'm carrying out an investigation as part of the royal commission
09:28I heard that you don't drink
09:30That you don't fuck whores and that you're squeezing Sir Stuart Strange on behalf of the king
09:32On behalf of justice
09:33Oh, justice, hello
09:34You believe in justice?
09:35I do
09:36And yet you're a rationalist
09:37What kind of rational man believes in justice?
09:38What kind of rational man believes in justice?
09:40I'm investigating the sinking of the world
09:42I'm investigating the sinking of the royal commission
09:47I'm still living without an invention
09:49I heard that you don't drink
09:50Oh, Justice.
09:51Hello.
09:54You believe in justice?
09:55I do.
09:57And yet you're a rationalist.
10:01A kind of rational man believes in justice.
10:07I'm investigating the sinking of a sloop called the Cornwallis,
10:11renamed the influence, off the coast of Cabinda in July 1804.
10:16Mr. Delaney, I have strong reason to believe that you were aboard the ship the night it sank.
10:37An example of the kind of nail you used to nail down the hold of the East India Company ship,
10:44the Cornwallis, when she ran aground in July 1804.
10:51Hmm.
11:01Aye, aye, Captain, I said.
11:04I'm aware you were following orders.
11:06No, I happen to like driving in nails.
11:08Takes your mind off the rain and off of a sinking ship.
11:19Mr. Delaney, perhaps I should come back during the...
11:21Oh, no, no. There's no use. I am always like this. Please carry on.
11:25You travelled to the Volta as a slave and then began to deal slaves.
11:35You stole diamonds from a fellow slaver and then returned to London.
11:40I have done much worse things than...
11:45stealing diamonds.
11:48Yes.
11:50I know this too.
11:52Ah.
11:59What do you want?
12:01As far as I can ascertain,
12:09you are the only surviving member of the crew of the Cornwallis.
12:16I want you to write an account naming Sir Stuart Strange as the man who organised the loading of the Cornwallis with slaves.
12:25Bound for a sugar plantation in Jambi Bay, Antigua, owned by his own brother.
12:35In return, the Royal Commission will offer you a full pardon for your crime.
12:44For crime, it is.
12:47Yes.
12:52I have an alternative suggestion.
13:17In.
13:20In.
13:25In.
13:47I have a use for you.
14:01Ah-ha!
14:02I have a use for you.
14:07For the safe

15:57Let's go.
16:27Do you know who loved your chef?
16:57I've been thinking a lot about what happened and I think we were right.
17:09It wasn't the time for such...
17:21And we have plenty of time.
17:23No, we don't.
17:27When you first came back, you told me you loved me.
17:35I would never have thought...
17:39But you don't think?
17:41Do you?
17:43I know you.
17:45I know your nature.
17:47I know you.
17:49No.
17:51I believed once that we were the same person.
17:59We are.
18:01We are not.
18:02We are.
18:03Not anymore.
18:05Perhaps you should thank your God for that.
18:11No.
18:13No, James.
18:17No.
18:19No, you can't do this.
18:21Not now.
18:22It is done.
18:23Please.
18:24For your widowhood.
18:37Now, I have work to do, so please excuse me.
18:49No fires within these walls.
19:15I'm sorry.
19:25We're not moving the powder today, are we?
19:34What's so urgent?
19:35I had a dismount from a porky little Chinese.
19:45This is where they kept my mother.
19:52Hmm.
19:58Something for your book.
20:02The lioness will fiercely protect her cubs,
20:05regardless of the consequences.
20:08Even if that means her certain death.
20:16Helga.
20:18Is that what you mean?
20:20That woman will betray us.
20:23She knows about a division with the Americans.
20:26That's our trees.
20:27And that's you, me, and my lot,
20:29feeding the ravens of London for at least a month.
20:32You will not harm her.
20:36She is harmed enough already.
20:38We should go to the company.
20:48Yes.
20:53It is inevitable.
20:55Hmm.
20:56Hmm.
21:03Fix the roof.
21:05Dumb powder and water don't mix.
21:06Mix.
21:21Where's Bryce?
21:23In his room.
21:25If you've been there all day,
21:27either mad or sick or drunk.
21:31We knocked.
21:33You won't answer.
21:34Bryce.
21:42You are not sick,
21:44and you are not dead yet.
21:46Come out,
21:48or I will come in there
21:50and drag you out.
22:04Talk to me about the rats.
22:21Every house has rats.
22:23Hmm.
22:24But after you bought
22:25so much arsenic
22:29from the apothecary in Rotherhithe,
22:33pinch after pinch
22:36after pinch
22:39with a great deal of poison,
22:41still we have rats.
22:46Still we have rats.
22:55What's that?
22:59Your father's buttons.
23:02From his dress code.
23:03I kept them.
23:05I kept them.
23:11It was a kindness.
23:17Who?
23:19We couldn't go on, James.
23:22But you did.
23:24You were dead.
23:26Everyone was at his throat.
23:28He was burning his own flesh.
23:31He had no need to go on.
23:34Nothing left to live for.
23:35Hmm.
23:43So you did him a kindness.
23:46I put an end to his pain.
23:54You did him a kindness.
23:58I killed him.
24:00You came back too late.
24:04For both of us.
24:18You were wanted urgently downstairs.
24:21Mrs. Delaney is destroying the kitchen.
24:24She's about to ruin a duck.
24:25Your 10 o'clock is 20 minutes early, sir.
24:36Oh, good.
24:38Then my 12 o'clock can be my 11.30.
24:41My 1 o'clock can be my 12.
24:43And before you know it,
24:44the day will be over before it's begun.
24:47Send him in.
24:49It's a woman, sir.
24:51Actually, two women, sir.
24:56Let me get this clear.
24:58You were witness to the Division of Gunpowder,
25:02and you heard with your own ears
25:06that a proportion of this said powder
25:09was to be sold to a citizen of the United States of America?
25:14Not sold, but given.
25:16On direct instruction of James Delaney himself, sir.
25:22And you witness this too?
25:23She will have to say it, sir.
25:28Yeah, yeah.
25:32You'll have to say it out loud.
25:34You witnessed the division of the gunpowder,
25:36and you heard its destination.
25:41Yes, I did, sir.
25:42And you were both being paid for your services
25:48by James Keziah Delaney himself?
25:52In gold.
25:55In silver.
25:57And you're a British citizen?
25:59German by birth, British by marriage.
26:02And you?
26:04I'm from Dulwich, sir.
26:06Dulwich?
26:08Very good.
26:15Gentlemen, we have two witnesses willing to testify
26:19that Delaney gave gunpowder to an enemy of the Crown
26:23within the confines of the city of London,
26:26encompassing the death of His Majesty the King.
26:31That's treason.
26:34High treason.
26:37High treason.
26:39We have him.
26:44We fucking have him.
26:47We have Delaney, we have Nootka,
26:50we have Nootka, we have the China trade.
26:53We have opium, tea, and powder.
26:56He'll be cut to pieces.
27:00A piece each, gentlemen.
27:02Gentlemen.
27:03Sir.
27:05Can we go now?
27:07Go?
27:10Oh, no, no, no, no.
27:12You are far, far too precious to go anywhere.
27:16And as accessories for a crime against the Crown,
27:21there will be due process.
27:23Take them.
27:25You'll be held in a secure place
27:27until your pardon can be exchanged for your testimony in court.
27:31What?
27:33Get off me!
27:34Don't hurt them.
27:35Get off me!
27:36Get off me!
27:53Where is he?
27:56They would not be denied, sir.
27:58This is the Prince's house.
27:59You should have dragged them out on their arses.
28:02Stuart Strange is a Knight of the Realm.
28:03I could not lay a hand on him.
28:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
28:16We have some rather good news.
28:19Poor British patriots everywhere.
28:33We have a good news.
28:34What?
28:35What?
28:36What?
28:37You're a nice guy!
28:38You got your son.
28:39I could not blow this.
28:41I'm your man!
28:42I could not let him go.
28:44We have a good news.
28:46This was a surprise.
28:48I'll be waiting for you.
28:50I'm a good news.
28:52Here.
28:54What are you doing?
28:55You are betrayed two women came to Leidenhall
29:24I know
29:28Where are they now?
29:34Oh, safe house
29:35I have the address
29:36I have use for you
29:42There's someone I need you to see
29:47In the event of a conviction for high treason
29:55Encompassing the death of our lord the king
29:59Then the law of corruption of blood
30:02Will take precedence over all other
30:06All land, property, chattels and investment of the guilty party
30:10Will pass without hindrance to the crown
30:14And by dint of corruption of blood
30:18All family members of the guilty party
30:22Will be deemed corrupted
30:24And any claim to land, property, chattels or investment
30:30Will be null and void
30:34So, you've not only delivered as Delaney
30:40It appears you've delivered Newt Cassand to the king
30:45Why?
30:51As loyal subjects of the crown
30:54We feel it is our duty
30:56To expose disloyalty and treason in time of war
31:00However
31:03Go on
31:04The ladies
31:09Who are to give the crucial evidence against James Delaney
31:12Are now in the protective custody of the East India Company
31:16Their whereabouts are
31:18They're known to just a handful
31:21Of trusted directors
31:23So
31:24To ensure their
31:26Safe delivery
31:28We humbly suggest
31:31You assign
31:33A monopoly
31:34The trade in sea otter pelts
31:39For tea
31:40Between Nootka
31:41And China
31:43In favour of the loyal and
31:46Honourable East India Company
31:50The king gets the land
31:54You get the tea trade
31:58You got lucky with the hall, Stuart
32:07Well, there was an element of fortune
32:11And an element of God's grace
32:13And an element of strategy
32:16So, get to it
32:23Arrest the masters

33:46Goddess
33:46No, Jim

34:13Yes
34:16How long have you worked for the East India Company?

42:42Our sneaker's gentle.
42:49It was the company, it was the East India Company.
42:51I need to tell James.
43:03Our sneaker's gentle.
43:09It was mercy.
43:11Horace was no longer a Christian soul.
43:15I only wish I'd killed James too.
43:19Give him a kind death.
43:21Protect him from itself.
43:25Instead, they've got him.
43:28What do you mean? Where is he?
43:30They took him to the tower.
43:34And no one will be kind enough to feed him arsenic.
43:49Mr. Delaney, his majesty seeks information.
43:58I really have no taste for this, so perhaps we can conduct this business like General.
44:03They will allow no easy escape to death.
44:09Since it is imperative that we keep you alive until after your conviction for treason, the doctor is here to help assist Mr. Arrow, who will do most of the necessary work.
44:30Most of the necessary work, although for some tasks, he will need helpers with strong hands.
44:42And together, they will walk you along a tightrope.
44:45A line between life and death, we need the names of all the people who helped you manufacture the gunpowder.
45:00Move the gunpowder.
45:01But most pressingly of all, we need the names of all the members of the Society of Secret Correspondence that you have dealt with.
45:11We need the names of all the members of the Americans, the Americans, the places you met, the codenames, signals, the location of the powder you gave them.
45:31Now, if you can give me all that, and what you tell us is corroborated, then these people won't be needed, and you will await a trial in the same cell that Thomas Moore occupied, with not an unpleasant view of the River Thames.
45:51So, I will give you all the information that you request, but in return, I will need a single meeting with Sir Stuart Strange of the East India Company, here, in a cell, and in private.
46:21The news of my arrest will already be spreading.
46:26Those people that you seek, they will already be fleeing London.
46:31Will you allow me my meetings, Stuart Strange?
46:34And perhaps, perhaps you will catch your Americans before they reach the ports.
46:51Ah!
47:04Ah!
47:07Ah!
47:08Gah!
47:08At least…
47:08T Quack!
47:13Oh, no!
47:13Oh.
47:15Ah!
47:16Oh!
47:17Oh!
47:18Oh.
47:19Oh!
47:21How long do you think it'll take?
47:23One.
47:25Maybe two hours.
47:26Well, in that case, Mr. Delaney, Sir Stuart Strange is busy.
47:51The End
48:21It's the Americans, and then we'll stop.
48:51Sir?
48:59What did you say?
49:01Mr. Delaney, what did you say?
49:08This is Stuart Strange.
49:10Caddy, have you lost your master?
49:32Sir, go to the clubhouse and ask.
49:36Here.
49:45Don't stand there gawping.
49:47I have no master, sir.
49:49Well, you're not a player.
49:52No.
49:53Not of this game.
49:54Look, do you mind?
49:59I've got a shot to make.
50:01So, make it.
50:07Where the hell are you?
50:09My name is George Chichester.
50:12And when you have taken your shot,
50:15I'd like to talk to you.
50:16Well, I have nothing to say to you.
50:26You should know that I have testimony from a reliable witness.
50:31I told you, I have nothing to say to you.
50:33Someone who will swear on oath that it was you
50:36who organized the loading of human cargo
50:39onto the Cornwallis bound for Antigua.
50:44If your witness is Delaney,
50:47I think you should know that even now
50:49he is being held in the Tower of London
50:51charged with treason.
50:56Your reliable witness
50:58is a plotter against the life of the king.
51:03No.
51:06I have another witness.
51:28Where exactly are we going?
51:36We are aware
52:04that you have a certain
52:06capacity for pain.
52:10Which is why
52:11we've invited
52:13Dr. Ling.
52:18His unearthly potions
52:20alter perceptions.
52:23Who knows?
52:23I know.
52:23Who knows?
52:27I know.
52:46Give him to your the-
52:47This isAh comma.
52:49I don't know.
53:19The ducks will be flying.
53:31All the coaches to Bath and Southampton are being searched, Your Highness.
53:34For what? For whom?
53:35We have no idea who they are, who they pretend to be.
53:38It's been 12 hours.
53:40He will break.
53:41No, he won't.
53:49God damn it.
53:58Where are you?
54:03The lady at his lodging said she hadn't seen him since this morning, sir.
54:07Oh, fuck.
54:08It seems there is much about our friend Godfrey that we didn't know, sir.
54:14What?
54:16I went into his room.
54:19Half of his clothes were women's clothes.
54:23He was a molly, sir.
54:26Oh.
54:27Delaney was arrested at the molly house.
54:33Delaney will have put Godfrey up to this.
54:36He'll have hidden him in the dark places where Delaney is king.
54:41Where giving up Delaney is treason.
54:44Mr. Delaney is here.
55:07Do you have anything to say to me?
55:09Mr. Delaney, do you have anything to say to me?
55:18Do you want to stay?
55:39Give him what he wants.
55:53This is absurd.
56:09My God, look at you.
56:25Well, your plan worked.
56:28You in a cell, me on a hook.
56:33I'm here.
56:34What do you want?
56:39I have a use for you.
56:47I have a use for you.
56:48I have a use for you.
