MASSINGER:
LOOK WHAT THEY SEND US--

A PALTRY FEW
WEASELY, WEAK MEN.

REDWICK: NO MORE THAN
BOYS MOST OF THEM.

MASSINGER: WHAT WE NEED IS
STRONG HANDS TO TOIL.

A PLANTATION IS
NOTHING BUT DIRT

TILL IT'S WORKED.

LABOR IS WHERE
RICHES ARE MADE.

YEARDLEY: CAPTAIN,
WELCOME TO JAMESTOWN.

CAPTAIN: THANK YOU.
HOW WAS THE VOYAGE?

MY WIFE.

WE'RE EAGER FOR NEWS
FROM ENGLAND.

YEARDLEY:
A GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF REPRESENTATIVES

FROM ALL OF VIRGINIA
FOR THE PURPOSE
OF PASSING LAWS.

PLANTERS
WILL BE SELECTED.

EACH MAN WILL BE NAMED
A BURGESS OF HIS PARISH

TO SPEAK ON BEHALF
OF THE COMMONAGE.

BURGESSES? ELECTED?

WHY GIVE POWER
AWAY SO CHEAPLY?

IT IS
A COMPANY WISH AND
A FIRM INSTRUCTION.

RANKLING DOES NOT
SUIT YOU, SIR.

PERHAPS YOU MIGHT
EXPLAIN THE BENEFIT

TO US, GOVERNOR,
OF INVITING MEN OF THE SOIL

TO PUT THEIR GRUB HANDS
ON GOVERNANCE?

SIR EDWIN SANDYS HAS
CONVINCED THE COMPANY

THAT THE SUREST WAY
TO ATTRACT NEW INVESTORS

IS TO ASSURE THEM
THAT THEIR STAKE

WILL NOT BE
EMBEZZLED.

ACCOUNTABILITY SEEMS
TO BE THE WORD
ON EVERYONE'S LIPS.

AN UNDERSTANDABLE
AND ADMIRABLE SENTIMENT,

BUT WHAT WILL BECOME
OF US IF WE ARE TO ANSWER

TO HEDGE-BORN PLANTERS?

WELL, THAT,
GENTLEMEN,

WE SHALL
DISCOVER.

[SNIFFLES]

AHEM.

DON'T YOU GO THINKING
YOU CAN LEAVE

ON THAT SHIP, WOMAN.

HMM?
YOU'RE MARRIED NOW.

THAT MEANS
YOU'RE WED.

HEH.

WE AIN'T MARRIED,
YOU JOLTHEAD.
HMM?

YOU'RE SO DRUNK
FROM WAKING TILL SLEEPING,

YOU DON'T KNOW SPIT
OF WHAT MIGHT
HAPPEN OR NOT,

SO I ONLY TOLD
YOU WE WERE WED.

W-WE AIN'T MARRIED?

VERITY! VERITY!

AIN'T WE MARRIED?

SILAS: COME ON.
COME ON.

[GRUNTING]

RIGHT.

CHRISTOPHER:
PERHAPS IF YOU WERE
TO LAY YOURSELF

AT THE MERCY
OF LADY YEARDLEY,

EXPLAIN THE NATURE
OF YOUR PREDICAMENT
AT THE TIME.

SHE DETESTS
MY EVERY LIVING STEP.

WHO CAN BLAME HER?

I HAVE MOCKED
HER PIETY.

I AM EXPERT
AT MAKING ENEMIES,

AND NOW SHE HAS
MEANS TO DESTROY ME.

FARLOW: MISTRESS CASTELL,

YOU SEEMED TO BE
IN CONSIDERABLE DISTRESS

AT THE WHARF,
SO MUCH SO THAT

HERE YOU ARE SEEKING SOLACE
FROM THE GOOD DOCTOR.

HOW KIND OF
YOU TO NOTICE,
SECRETARY FARLOW.

I DO NOT DOUBT THAT
YOU APPRECIATE

THE GRATIFICATION
TO BE GAINED FROM
THE COMFORT OF A MAN.

I AM MOMENTS
AWAY FROM RUIN.

IT IS ALL I CAN
DO TO BREATHE.

AHEM. REVEREND, SIR,
YOUR WORSHIPNESS,

SUPPOSE A WOMAN
WERE INTENT ON
GETTING ON THAT SHIP,

AND SUPPOSE THAT WOMAN'S
HUSBAND SAID THEY
WERE MARRIED,

BUT THE WIFE SAID
THAT SHE WEREN'T A WIFE.

CAN--CAN THEY
TAKE THEIR VOWS IN HASTE

IF THEY AIN'T
ALREADY WED?

ENGLAND.

THAT'S ME POINT, SIR,
TO PREVENT HER

FROM RETURNING.

I AM GOING HOME.

I AM LEAVING
THIS PLACE.

I CAN BREATHE AGAIN.

DID YOU WED
MESELF AND ME WIFE?

YOU'RE NO MORE MARRIED
THAN I AM, RUTTER.

ARE YOU MARRIED,
REVEREND?

ALICE: SILAS, IS HE TO
STAY IN OUR HOME?

HE'S MY BROTHER.

SILAS: COME ON.

HENRY, YOU HAVE
YOUR OWN LAND NOW.

WHY'S THAT NOT ENOUGH?

EH?

ONCE YOU'RE STARTED,
ONCE YOUR LAND

IS GROWING, IT'LL GIVE
YOU YOUR LIFE BACK.

HENRY!

WE HAVE A HARVEST
TO BRING IN.

WE NEED YOUR STRENGTH.
IN'T THAT SO, PEPPER?

WON'T YOU HELP
US, HENRY?

[FLIES BUZZING]

HE HAS TURNED THAT
SAVAGE WILL OF HIS

AGAINST HIS OWN LIFE

FOR THE SAKE OF SILVER.

IN'T THE SILVER THAT
BROKE HIM, SILAS.

IT'S THE CRUSHING
HUMILIATION BEFORE
EVERY SOUL IN JAMESTOWN.

IT IS RIGHT THAT YOU
SHOULD TAKE A CARE

FOR YOUR BROTHER,
BUT HOW CAN I SLEEP

WITH HIM THERE,
SO CLOSE AT HAND?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT
HE MIGHT TRY TO HARM
YOU AGAIN?

IT IN'T THAT.

IT'S THE MEMORY
OF IT.

SOME, UH, HARVEST YOU
SHOULD HAVE, SHARROW.

THERE'S WORK TO DO YET,
MASTER MASSINGER.

CONSIDERED WHAT YOU
LOOK TO PROFIT?

I DARE SAY YOU KNOW
THAT BETTER THAN I WOULD.

AYE. WELL, WHATEVER YOU
FORESEE, FORGET IT.

WHY'S THAT SO,
SIR?

WELL, I'LL HARVEST 40 TIMES
WHAT YOU'LL BRING IN.

BEST QUALITY TOBACCO,
AND I INTEND TO SELL IT

AT A PRICE SO LOW THAT
NO DEALER WILL PAY

ANY PRICE
ABOVE WHAT I ASK.

I'LL MAKE SURE THAT
YOU DON'T PROFIT

FROM ONE LEAF.

I CAN AFFORD TO DO THAT
YEAR AFTER YEAR

TILL YOU'RE RUINED.

I GAVE YOU CHANCE
TO DEAL,

BUT YOU DECIDED
TO CHALLENGE ME INSTEAD,

AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA SEE
WHAT THAT TRULY COSTS.

MEREDITH: I MEAN,
IF LIFE HERE IN'T
TO YOUR LIKING,

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WHEN YOU GO HOME, HUH?

PRISON. THAT'S WHAT.

SO WHAT WERE
THEY FOR?

THE TEARS.

MY WHOLE LIFE,
I NEVER REALLY FELT
LIKE I BELONGED,

BUT HERE

IN THIS MAD, KNEE-DEEP
SHIT PILE, I DO.

SAW THOSE WOMEN
COMING OFF OF THAT SHIP,

AND I KNEW I'LL
NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE

BECAUSE IT'S MY HOME.

HMM.

THAT CHANGES
EVERYTHING.

I HAVE THOUGHTS
AND DESIRES NOW

THAT I NEVER HAD BEFORE.

SO YOU AIN'T
GOING BACK?

NO.

[EXHALES]

FETCH US
AN ALE THEN.
HA!

MERCY, DID YOU EVER
WITNESS ANYONE DIE

ON THE GALLOWS?

I HAVE, MA'AM.

IT'S A MOST FEARFUL,
FRIGHTFUL SIGHT.

DO THE CONDEMNED SEEM
READY TO MEET THEIR MAKER,

OR DO THEY PLEAD
FOR THEIR LIFE TO
BE SPARED?

THEY SCREAM FOR
FORGIVENESS, MA'AM,

SCREECHES THAT SOUND
LIKE THEY ESCAPED
FROM HELL ITSELF.

YES. WELL, THAT'S
DESCRIPTION ENOUGH.

SOME OF 'EM CURSE
THEIR OWN SELVES

WITH SUCH A LOATHING
IT'S LIKE LOOKING

INTO SATAN'S EYES.

YEARDLEY: I STAND BEFORE YOU
TO CALL TOGETHER

A GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
THE MAIN PART OF WHICH

WILL BE MADE UP
OF BURGESSES,

MEN ELECTED TO MAKE LAWS
THAT WE WILL LIVE OUR LIVES BY.

TWO MEN FROM EACH
PARTICULAR PLANTATION

WILL FORM A HOUSE
TO PASS LAWS.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT
OUR PURPOSE HERE.

IT IS TO CREATE
A NEW WORLD,

ONE ABUNDANT
WITH OPPORTUNITY AND HARMONY.

GOD HAS GIVEN US
THE MEANS TO SEEK HEROIC PROFIT.

LET US DO SO AS ONE

AND INVITE GOOD MEN
TO TAKE UP GOVERNANCE.

YOU MIGHT BE
THE BURGESS

FOR ARGALL'S TOWN,
SILAS, AND HENRY.

YEARDLEY: SINCE THE MEN
FROM THE BOROUGHS ARE

IN JAMESTOWN
FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP,

I WILL CALL THE FIRST
GENERAL ASSEMBLY

THIS VERY WEEK.

[APPLAUSE]

WE ARE THE CREATORS
OF THE GREATEST

POLITICAL ENDEAVOR, A LAND
WHERE FREE MEN TOGETHER

RESPECT THE RIGHTS
AND THE CONSCIENCE

OF ALL WHO CAN SPEAK.

[APPLAUSE]

THANK YOU.

I TRUST WITH ALL MY HEART
THAT THE BURGESSES

WILL SERVE
OUR COLONY WELL,

BUT I WILL APPOINT
A COUNCIL OF STATE

TO OVERSEE OUR BUSINESS,

AND I WILL, OF COURSE,
RESERVE THE POWER OF VETO

FOR ANY, LET US SAY,

UNSEEMLY PROPOSALS.

GOOD NEWS,
THAT IS.

JAMES:
UH, MISTRESS SHARROW,

I WISH TO SHOW
YOU SOMETHING.

THANK YOU, JAMES.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE?

I SEEN MORE
WOMEN ARRIVING.

I'M GOING TO...
BUY MYSELF A WIFE

TO COME OVER
ON THE NEXT SHIP.

IS HENRY STAYING
WITH YOU NOW

OUT AT THE PLANTATION?

UH, HE IS.

IF YOU EVER WANT
HIM TO LEAVE--

I MEAN, IF YOU
AND YOUR HUSBAND NEED

ANY ASSISTANCE--

JAMES...

WHAT
A MAN YOU ARE.

MIGHT I TAKE A DRINK
WITH YOU, MASTER RUTTER?

AHH. MIGHT I HAVE
ANOTHER?

MERCY, LET US
LIVE BRIGHTLY,

FOR WE DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH LIFE WE HAVE LEFT.

MEREDITH: IS THERE
A BETTER COMPANION

IN THIS WORLD
THAN A TRUE
DRINKING COUSIN?

ERRP!

[MERCY AND MEREDITH
LAUGHING]

[HUMMING]

MEREDITH: POUR INSIDE ME
SEVERAL ALES,

AND I HAVE
THE FLEETEST OF FEET.

OH, YES?

SHALL I SHOW YOU,
YOUR MA'AMSHIP?

MMM.

[COUGHS]

HA HA HA!

I KILLED A MAN.

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

I TOOK THE LIFE
OF A MAN BECAUSE I LOVED HIM.

I LOVED HIM.

HA! HYAH!

AND THAT'S
WHY I CAME HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

I PUT THE POISON
IN HIS WINE.

MEREDITH:
HOLD ON TIGHT.

VERITY: COME ON.
COME ON. HERE WE GO!

I KILLED A MAN.
MERCY, HELP ME, HUH?

I POISONED HIM.

VERITY: RUTTER!

NOT ONE WORD OF WHO
WE HAVE IN HERE!

WOMAN. HA HA HA!

VERITY: HURRY. COME ON.
QUICKLY IN HERE.

YEAH! WHOO!

[HUMMING]

HA HA HA!

MERRYMAKING ALL
ON YOUR OWN, RUTTER?

NO, MARSHAL.
THERE IS A NUMBER

OF US, LADIES
AND, UH, G--EH?

REDWICK: PERHAPS YOU
DRINK-DREAMED

YOUR VERY OWN HAREM
OF HANDMAIDENS?

NO, SIR. THE LADY--
WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

FETCH US SOME ALE!

HAVE A SEAT,
CAPTAIN.

I WATCHED
THAT MAN DIE.

MERCY: * I HEARD HIM
SAY, DIDDLE, DIDDLE *

* SINCE I CAME HITHER *

* THAT YOU AND I
DIDDLE, DIDDLE... *

THE MARSHAL IS
IN THE TAVERN.

YOU--YOU MUST
BE QUIET!

CAPTAIN: I HAVE
INFORMATION THAT REQUIRES

YOUR DISCRETION.

MASTER MASSINGER
INSISTS THAT LAND

IS WORTHLESS
WITHOUT LABOR.

I SEE WHERE
YOU'RE LEADING.

SIR, A GOOD MANY MEN
WERE SENT HERE INTENDED

TO WORK ON COMPANY LAND
WERE SIGNED OVER

TO MASSINGER

BY REDWICK
AND FARLOW.

HO HO HO!

IT'S OUTRIGHT
MALVERSATION.

WELL DONE, SAMUEL.

I MUST CONSIDER
HOW BEST TO MOVE

AGAINST THE SECRETARY
AND THE MARSHAL

FOR THEIR PART
IN THE THIEVING
OF COMPANY PROPERTY.

I PRESUMED THEY
WOULD BE CHARGED.

YOU MUST REST,
DEAR SAMUEL.

YOU LEAVE THIS TO ME.

GOOD NIGHT,
LADY YEARDLEY.

MERCY: * SHE IS DRY
BECAUSE SHE LOVED *

* DIDDLE, DIDDLE--HIC--MA *

WHEN THE LETTER IS
REVEALED,

THE ENTIRE TOWN
WILL GATHER TOGETHER

TO WATCH ME SWING.

OH, LORDY.

[HUMMING]

MERCY, MERCY,
YOU MUST GO AND
FETCH ALICE SHARROW.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

LEAVE
BY THE BACK DOOR.

YOU MUST NOT LET
THE MARSHAL SEE YOU,

AND YOU MUST SPEAK
TO NO ONE!

NO ONE.

NO ONE.

[CRYING]

SHH, SHH, SHH.

SHH, SHH, SHH.

SHH, SHH, SHH.

CHRISTOPHER:
SAMUEL, WE MUST SEEK
YOUR WIFE OUT

BEFORE IT BECOMES
TOO DARK.

WHY ARE YOU ABROAD
AT THIS HOUR, GIRL?

[SNIFFS]

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?

* NOW MY OWN DEAR,
DIDDLE, DIDDLE *

* HAVE AT THY BUM,
FOR I DO SWEAR *

* DIDDLE DIDDLE,
NOW I AM COME *

[SCOFFS]

SAMUEL: CHRISTOPHER,
WHY ARE YOU SO ANXIOUS

WE SHOULD FIND
JOCELYN?

CHRISTOPHER: WATCHMAN,
HAVE YOU COME UPON
MISTRESS CASTELL?

I HAVE TWICE MADE
THE ROUND, SIR.

NO SIGN OF HER.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

WHAT IS IT WE'RE
SEEKING OUT, SECRETARY?

IS THE RECORDER'S
WIFE HERE?

[SOBBING]

WHY WOULD THE LIKES
OF A FINE LADY

BE KEEPING COMPANY
WITH A RAT-SMELLING
DRINKING MAN

SUCH AS ME?

REDWICK: FARLOW, I HAVE
THE MOST BENEFICIAL NEWS

FROM THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN.

DID YOU WITNESS
ANYONE ELSE HERE
TONIGHT, MARSHAL?

DID YOU NOT HEAR ME
SAY I HAVE

THE SWEETEST INFORMATION?

[JOCELYN SOBS]

ME WIFE, SHE SNORES
LIKE A TROD-ON CAT.

REDWICK: FARLOW, WE MUST
SPEAK TO MASSINGER.

[MUFFLED SOBBING]

[HUMMING]

MERCY...

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

CAN'T REMEMBER.

PERHAPS I COME
TO SEE YOU.

WHY WOULD YOU COME
TO VISIT ME AT SUCH
A TIME OF NIGHT?

BECAUSE YOU ARE
THE HANDSOMEST BOY

EVER WALKED THROUGH
A GIRL'S DREAMS.

THAT'S WHY.

AND I WANT TO KISS
YOU THE NIGHT LONG.

WILL YOU KISS
ME, PEPPER?

[SNORING]

REDWICK: ACCORDING
TO THE CAPTAIN,

THERE'S 20 AND ODD
ANGOLAN SLAVES

ON A DUTCH
MAN O' WAR

A LITTLE WAY
OUT AT SEA.

IT SEEMS
THE PRIVATEERS
STOLE THE CARGO

FROM A PORTUGUESE
MERCHANT SLAVER

ON ITS WAY
TO VERA CRUZ.

THEY COULD BE
BROUGHT ASHORE
IN A MATTER OF DAYS.

WHAT WILL THEY COST?

FOOD AND PROVISIONS
FOR THE PRIVATEERS

WILL BUY 'EM FOR YOU.

WELL, THERE'S NO APPETITE
FOR SLAVES IN ENGLAND,

BUT WE'LL, UH, REQUIRE
YEARDLEY'S AGREEMENT

BEFORE WE BRING THEM
TO JAMESTOWN.

SUPPOSE, ONCE PURCHASED,
WE ARRANGE TO LAND

THE CARGO DOWN RIVER
AT POINT COMFORT

AND ONLY THEN DO
WE TAKE UP THE MATTER

WITH THE GOVERNOR.

SLAVES.

WE NO LONGER HAVE TO
RELY ON WHATEVER LUBS

ENGLAND CARES
TO SEND US.

THESE SWEATS WILL BE
MINE TILL THEY DIE.

FARLOW:
PROGRESS, GENTLEMEN.

PROGRESS.

SILAS, THE ASSEMBLY
THE GOVERNOR SPOKE ABOUT,

IT'S TO PASS LAWS?

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

THE OTHER MEN WHO
WERE GRANTED LAND,

DO YOU KNOW
THEM WELL?

WHAT IS IT?

IF YOU WERE TO TELL
THE OTHER PLANTERS

ABOUT WHAT MASSINGER'S
DOING TO YOU,

PRICING HIS
OWN TOBACCO SO LOW--

WHAT IS IN THAT MIND
OF YOURS, ALICE?

WHAT IF YOU WERE
TO BAND TOGETHER,
ALL OF YOU,

AND VOTE TO MAKE
THE PRICE OF TOBACCO

FIXED FOR EVERY
PLANTATION

SO MASSINGER CAN'T
USE HIS POSITION
TO CRUSH US?

OW! UGH!

OHH!

SHIVERS!
OH, NOW I DO REMEMBER.

MISTRESS SHARROW,
YOU ARE TO COME QUICKLY.

THE TAVERN KEEPER'S
WIFE NEEDS YOUR AID.

HERE.

JAMES: WHY WOULD
YOU WANT 50 POUNDS
OF CHAINS, MARSHAL?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
ASK ME SUCH A QUESTION?

WOULD YOU WISH FOR
HEAVY-MADE CHAINS

MIGHT FASTEN A SHIP

OR CHAINS MIGHT
FASTEN A MAN?

CHAINS SUCH AS THIS'LL
SERVE ME WELL.

A MAN THEN.

YOU MIGHT ONLY COME
TO ME, SIR,

IF YOU NEEDED
SUCH IRONS IN HASTE.

I'VE NOTICED OVER
THE YEARS, READ,

THAT YOU HOLD HONOR
CLOSER THAN LIFE ITSELF.

YOU LOCKED HORNS
WITH THE GOVERNOR
ON A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE,

SO YOU, READ, ARE
THE LAST MAN THAT
I WOULD TELL

THE PURPOSE
OF THE CHAINS.

NOW THERE'S A SHIP
ON THE WHARF.

WOULD YOU HAVE
THE SECRETARY SEND
YOU BACK TO ENGLAND?

[GROANING]

[DOOR OPENS]

MEREDITH: OHH. IDIOT.

[SIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

MMM. AGH!

LADY YEARDLEY
HAS THE LETTER.

I SAW IT IN HER HANDS.

SHE SPENT HALF
THE NIGHT TELLING ME
THAT SHE KILLED A MAN.

VERITY, WILL YOU TRUST
ME TO KNOW THAT

WE MUST ABIDE
BY MISTRESS CASTELL?

SURE. WHAT DO
HAVE I TO LOSE

'CEPT PERHAPS
ME NECK?

I CAME HERE TO
ESCAPE MY PAST.

SEEMS MY PAST
WILL NOT LET ME GO.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

ALICE: I WILL SAY YOUR
OWN WORDS BACK TO YOU,

THE ONES YOU SPOKE TO ME
ON OUR FIRST DAY HERE.

KNOWING THAT THIS
FORBIDDING PLACE
WILL BE OUR LIVES NOW...

WE ARE SISTERS
OF A SORT.

I'LL SPEAK TO
LADY YEARDLEY.

I KNOW THAT WOMAN
HAS GOOD CHRISTIAN
COMPASSION

IN HER BREAST.

LET ME TRY TO REACH IT.

YOU MUST GO HOME
TO YOUR HUSBAND.

HOW CAN I?

WHAT WILL I TELL HIM
I'VE BEEN DOING
ALL THE NIGHT LONG?

YOU'LL YOU LET ME
TAKE YOU BACK TO HIM.

I KNOW JUST THE WORDS
WILL SHUT UP

ANY MAN'S QUESTIONING.

ALICE: I KNOW, MA'AM,
THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN

TO YOUR COUSIN.

WHAT BUSINESS IS THIS
OF YOURS, DEAR ALICE?

AND THAT SHE'S SENT
YOU A LETTER IN REPLY.

MISTRESS CASTELL
CONFIDED IN YOU THEN?

MA'AM, I SIT IN
THE GOVERNOR'S CHAIR

IN THE GOVERNOR'S
HOUSE

BEFORE
THE GOVERNOR'S WIFE.

I COULD NOT DO
SUCH A THING
WERE I NOT MOVED

BY SUCH GOOD REASONS
TO MAKE A PLEA
FOR CLEMENCY.

YOUR EFFORTS ARE
PURPOSELESS, ALICE.

PLEASE LET ME SPEAK
WHAT I KNOW BEFORE
YOU DECIDE THAT.

IT IS TRUE.

MISTRESS CASTELL KILLED
A MAN WITH POISON.

THAT VILLAIN RUINED
HER REPUTATION,

INVITING HIS FRIENDS
TO WITNESS HIM
SEDUCE HER

SO THAT HER
WOMANHOOD WAS
TRODDEN INTO THE DIRT.

HE MADE A MOCKERY
OF THE THINGS
THAT ANY WOMAN

CHERISHES
ABOVE ALL ELSE--

LOVE AND TRUST

AND HOPE
AND CHASTITY.

MA'AM, I KNOW HOW IT
FEELS TO BE CUT

SO ADRIFT FROM JUSTICE

THAT A BURNING NEED
FOR VENGEANCE

OVERTAKES ALL ELSE.

IF YOU CONDEMN
MISTRESS CASTELL,
MA'AM,

THEN YOU CONDEMN ME.

MY COUSIN, ALICE, WROTE
TO TELL ME THAT THE MOST

SHE KNOWS ABOUT
JOCELYN WOODBRYG IS THAT

HER HEART WAS BROKEN
BY A ROGUE.

THAT IS ALL?

THAT IS ALL.

OH. WHAT HAVE I DONE?

SAMUEL: JOCELYN, WHAT
HAS BECOME OF YOU?

UH, YOUR WIFE WAS
FEELING MOST FAINT, SIR,

SO I GAVE HER A PLACE
TO SLEEP FOR THE NIGHT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
FETCH ME TO HER?

I SENT A MESSAGE
WITH MY HUSBAND.

DID HE NOT TELL YOU?

[MEREDITH MOANS]

WHAT IS IT, JOCELYN,
THAT AILS YOU?

PERHAPS YOU
MIGHT LIKE TO TAKE
A SEAT, GENTLEMEN,

AND I'LL, UH--I'LL
FETCH YOU SOME ALE.

AFTER ALL, BOTH THOSE
THINGS ARE REQUIRED

WHEN THERE'S NEWS
OF A BABE TO COME.

OH, JOCELYN.
HEH HEH.

JOCELYN.

YEARDLEY: WHY SO MANY
CHAINS, JAMES READ?

THIS ORDER'S FOR
THE MARSHAL, SIR.

WHAT DOES HE PROPOSE
TO DO WITH THEM?

WELL, HE IN'T THE KIND
OF MAN SPEAKS HIS
BUSINESS FREELY,

BUT I DID SEE HIM
KEEPING COMPANY
WITH THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN.

OUR CONSCIENCE MIGHT
REST EASY, SIR.

IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT
ANY PAGAN HEATHENS
BRUNG HERE

WILL SURELY BE SAVED
BY CONVERSION TO
THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

GOD WILL NOT
BE MOCKED, READ.

YOU MIND YOUR TONGUE.

HAS MARSHAL REDWICK
ORDERED ANY SHACKLES?

NO, SIR.
NO SHACKLES, NOT YET.

THEN IT IS POSSIBLE,
YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

THERE ARE NO SLAVES.

I WILL SPEAK
TO THE CAPTAIN.

LEARN THE MATTER OF IT.

COULD TELL HER,
PLEASE, THAT MY MEETING

WITH LADY YEARDLEY
DID NOT GO

AS WELL
AS I'D HOPED?

TELL HER TO COME
AND SEE ME
IF SHE CAN,

THAT I MIGHT
EXPLAIN TO HER.

THANK YOU, MERCY.

I TAKE IT, JOCELYN,
THAT THERE IS NO
CHILD-TO-BE.

WOULD YOU BE SO
KIND, CHRISTOPHER?

WOULD YOU GIVE ME
SOMETHING

SO THAT I DO
NOT EVER HAVE TO FACE
WHAT IS OUT THERE?

AND IF I DO IT QUICKLY,
THEN SAMUEL

MIGHT BE SPARED
THE PAIN AND RUIN

OF SEEING HIS WIFE
DENOUNCED AS A MURDERER.

OH, JOCELYN, YOU PAINT
SUCH TEMPTING PICTURES,

BUT I HAVE LEARNED
TO RESIST ALL
OF YOUR ENTREATIES.

SAMUEL: I WAS WONDERING,
UH, WHEN WE MIGHT TELL

OUR NEIGHBORS
THE GOOD NEWS.

PERHAPS NOT YET.

I AM YOUR DOCTOR,
JOCELYN.

I WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE
BOTH NIGHT AND DAY

SHOULD YOU NEED ME.

FRIENDS...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

SILAS: THE PLANTERS
CANNOT SEE ANY BENEFIT

IN FIXING A PRICE
FOR OUR CROPS.

THEY EACH WANT TO GET
THE BEST THAT THEY CAN.

WELL, DID YOU TELL THEM
THAT ONCE HE'S DESTROYED US

MASSINGER WILL
COME AFTER THEM?

THEY BELIEVE THAT
BECAUSE THEY'RE

FURTHER UP RIVER HE'S
NOT A THREAT TO THEM.

WHEN WE SAT ON THE WHARF
ON THAT WARM MORNING

AND YOU TOLD ME
OF THE WIFE AND CHILD
YOU HAD WHO DIED...

AH, MEREDITH.

MY MEREDITH...

I SAW SUCH A HUMBLING
IN YOUR FACE THAT DAY,

AND I LOVED YOU
FOR IT.

I HAVE LOVED YOU
FOR IT EVERY DAY SINCE.

LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES
SO THAT YOU SEE IT.

I HAD A CHILD TAKEN
OUT OF MY BELLY ONCE.

I WAS 14.

WE COULD HAVE A BABE.

DO YOU SEE?

OH, WOMAN, YOU KNOW
HOW TO LOVE A MAN.

YEARDLEY:
MASTER MASSINGER'S LABORERS.

YOU PROVIDED HIM
WITH MEN INTENDED

FOR COMPANY LAND.

OH, I DO HOPE WE'RE
NOT GOING TO HAGGLE

OVER EVIDENCE.

I HAVE NO ARMED
MEN OUTSIDE.

MAY I ASK YOU, SIR,
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?

MASSINGER HAS BOUGHT
HIMSELF SOME SLAVES.

HOW MANY?

REDWICK: 20 AND ODD.

AND WHY WAS I NOT
OFFERED ANY OF THEM?

WE HAD EXPECTED, SIR,
THAT IT MIGHT NOT
SUIT YOUR TASTE.

JESUS NEVER SPOKE
AGAINST ONE MAN
OWNING ANOTHER.

ABRAHAM TOOK SLAVES.

WE HAVE FIELDS TO
PLANT AND HARVEST.

I WANT HALF OF THEM.

GOVERNOR, IS IT
SAFE TO SPEAK

OF SUCH BUSINESS
BEFORE YOUR WIFE?

I QUITE FORGET
THAT SHE IS THERE.

EH, SHE IS A WOMAN.
SHE'S NOT THERE.

I WILL PRESERVE THESE
IN SAFE-KEEPING.

I OWN YOU NOW.

GENTLEMEN.

[HAMMERING]

[DOOR OPENS]

I HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOR YOU.

I KNOW MORE THAN
YOU REALIZE.

YOU KNOW ENOUGH,
AND THAT'S ALL
THAT MATTERS NOW.

I LIVE IN FEAR
OF GOD.

I LIVE IN FEAR
OF MANY THINGS.

MOSTLY I LIVE
IN FEAR OF MEN.

I AM AFRAID
OF WHAT THEY WILL
MAKE OF THIS WORLD.

I'VE GIVEN MY LIFE
TO MEN JUST
AS YOU HAVE,

BUT I HAVE NOT
HAD TO SUFFER
AS YOU DID.

WILL YOU FORGIVE
ME, JOCELYN?

IT WILL SOON BE
HARVEST,

AND THERE
WILL BE DANCING.

I WOULD DEARLY LIKE
TO SEE YOU DANCING,
MISTRESS CASTELL.

ALICE: HENRY.

HENRY, I KNOW
YOU CAN HEAR ME.

YOU'VE MADE STRONG
MEN OF YOUR BROTHERS.

YOU WERE LIKE
A FATHER TO THEM.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

MASSINGER IS
DETERMINED TO RUIN US.

SILAS MUST
WIN THE SUPPORT
OF THE OTHER PLANTERS,

BUT IF YOU STAND
BESIDE HIM,

THE OTHERS
WILL DO THE SAME.

MASSINGER: YOU'VE BEEN
SPEAKING TO OTHER PLANTERS!

ALICE: YOUR BROTHERS
ARE WORKING TO BRING
IN A HARVEST

THAT MIGHT BE
WORTH NOTHING TO THEM.

THEY NEED YOU.

HENRY, I'M GOING
TO HAVE A CHILD.

WE ARE A FAMILY.

I WILL DIG OUT YOUR
BRAINS, LAY THEM

ON MY HAND SO THAT
I MIGHT SPIT UPON THEM,

YOU DOG.

HENRY: IF YOU HARM
MY BROTHER...

IT'LL BE THE LAST
BREATH YOU TAKE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT, MASTER MASSINGER?

IF YOU COME
ONTO OUR LAND AGAIN,

I WILL TEAR YOUR EYES OUT
OF YOUR HEAD.

WELL...

NEVER LET IT BE SAID
THAT I KILLED

AN UNARMED MAN, EH?

YOU HAVE SERVED
YOUR GOVERNOR,

THE COMPANY,
AND THE COLONY WELL.

SAMUEL: HOW DO YOU
INTEND TO DEPOSE THEM?

THEIR OWN GREED FOR GAIN
HAS ALREADY BEEN TURNED
AGAINST THEM.

THESE MEN NOW KNOW
THAT THE NOOSE

AWAITS THEM SHOULD THEY
FAIL TO SERVE

THE BEST INTERESTS
OF GOVERNANCE HERE.

YOUR DISCOVERIES
DID THAT.

SO WILL THEY
NOT BE CHARGED?

IF THE COMPANY
APPOINTS A NEW MARSHAL
AND SECRETARY,

HOW DO WE KNOW
THAT THEIR MORALS
WILL BE ANY BETTER?

THESE TWO KNOW THAT
THEY'VE BEEN POCKETED.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER?

I BELIEVED YOUR
INTENTION WAS TO
EXPOSE THE WRONGDOING.

AND WE HAVE,
DEAR FELLOW,

BUT POLITICS, SAMUEL, IS
NOT A BLUNT INSTRUMENT.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

WAFER CAKE,
WHY SO GLUM?

DO I NOT HAVE SUCH
CAUSE FOR JOY

WHEN WE ARE TO
HAVE A CHILD?

OH, THAT.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE.

HONEY-TONGUE, THERE
IS TO BE AN ASSEMBLY.

IS THAT NOT THE MOST
WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY

FOR YOU TO FIND
ADVANCEMENT?

A MISTAKE?

THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO.

I DOUBT WE WILL FIND
THE HOURS IN THE DAY.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

I, SILAS SHARROW, DO
SWEAR TO BEAR FAITH

AND TRUE ALLEGIANCE
TO HIS MAJESTY.

EVERY ONE OF YOU OWES
A DEBT OF LOYALTY
TO US SHARROWS.

WHICH MAN HERE
CAN DENY IT?

NOW WHEN YOU WERE
TENURED BY MASSINGER,

WHO WAS IT SHOWED YOU
HOW TO WORK THE LAND,

KEPT HIS WHIP
FROM YOUR BACK?

WHO WAS IT AT TIMES
DID YOUR WORK FOR YOU?

SILAS: AND WILL
DEFEND TO THE UTMOST

OF MY POWER AGAINST
ALL CONSPIRACIES.

NOW WILL YOU STAND WITH US
OR LET YOUR COWARDICE

STAIN YOUR OWN REPUTATION?

SILAS: MY PROPOSAL
TO THE ASSEMBLY IS

TO FIX THE PRICE
OF TOBACCO.

THEN NO PLANTER
CAN DRIVE UP

OR DOWN THE PROFIT THAT
A NEIGHBOR MIGHT MAKE.

YEARDLEY: HOW MUCH DO YOU
PROPOSE TO CHARGE, SILAS?

3 SHILLINGS A POUND
FOR THE BEST LEAF TOBACCO

AND 18 PENNIES
FOR THE LESSER CROP.

YEARDLEY:
IT'S A FAIR AMOUNT.

MASSINGER: NO.

NOW YOU ALL
LISTEN TO ME.

NO MAN ALIVE WILL
TELL ME WHAT MY
CROP IS WORTH.

SILAS: IT WOULDN'T BE
A MAN TELLING YOU.

IT WOULD BE
THE COLLECTIVE OF US ALL.

IN'T THAT THE PURPOSE
OF THIS HOUSE?

TO SERVE THE WHOLE
COLONY AND NOT JUST

THE BENEFIT OF ONE MAN?

PERHAPS WE SHOULD TAKE
A VOTE ON IT...
YEAH.

SINCE THAT IS WHY
WE'RE ALL HERE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
OF THE PROPOSAL MADE

BY THE SHARROW BROTHERS,
SAY, "AYE."

AYE!

AYE!
AYE!
AYE!

SIR, IS THIS NOT
A CASE FOR THE COUNCIL

TO VETO
A RECKLESS PROVISION?

HENRY: IF YOU DO THAT,
GOVERNOR, WHO IN HERE

OR OUT THERE WILL
BELIEVE THAT THIS HOUSE

HAS ANY INFLUENCE
OR IS AN INSTRUMENT

OF JUSTICE?

THERE WILL BE
NO RETRACTION

ON WHAT HAS BEEN
VOTED UPON.

THE LAW STANDS.

THE PRICE
OF TOBACCO IS FIXED!

[CHEERING]

COME ON.

SILAS: PILE IT UP.

ALICE: SILAS.

PEPPER: HENRY.

SILAS: GOOD WORK.

KEEP THEM UP.

THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

YOUR OWN LAND,
HENRY.

SILAS: WE MIGHT BE
NEIGHBORS.

I PAID MY DEBT
TO YOU, HENRY.

I'LL PAY NO MORE.

GROW.

WORK YOUR LAND
SAME AS ME.
