1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,600
[dramatic swashbuckling music]
2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,320
[narrator] The Caribbean is home
to a notorious band of British pirates...
3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,680
[pirates cheering]
4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,120
...called the Flying Gang.
5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,640
They plunder merchant ships,
6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,000
sailing from the Americas to Europe
7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,960
and Africa.
8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,600
Take everything. Gracias.
9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,680
[neck snapping]
10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,200
[narrator] They ravage the profits
of London's merchants.
11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,320
We have all lost to these heathen pirates.
12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,360
These traitors!
13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,720
[narrator]
England's King George I has had enough,
14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,720
so he comes up with a shock tactic...
15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,720
- [Vane] What does it say?
- [narrator] ...to end piracy.
16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,320
[Jennings]
It's an offer from the King, a pardon.
17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,480
[narrator] Clemency
for those who turn their backs on piracy.
18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,320
- I have your word?
- My future depends on it.
19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600
- [chains rattling]
- The end is coming for you.
20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,400
[narrator] Those who refuse
will be hunted down and hanged.
21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,920
[wheezing]
22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,400
It's an offer that
sets pirate against pirate.
23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440
This is all
your fucking pardon is good for.
24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,680
[narrator]
Only two pirates are left standing.
25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,760
[dramatic music]
26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,320
[narrator] Blackbeard...
27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,120
[voice echoing] Blackbeard!
28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,280
[shrill scream]
29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,840
[narrator]...and Charles Vane.
30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,720
And if anyone
gives you any trouble, kill 'em.
31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,440
[cannon fire echoing]
32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,720
[narrator]
In their way stands the King's man,
33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,400
Woodes Rogers, the pirate terminator.
34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Who will win the final battle?
35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,280
[dramatic swashbuckling music]
36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,080
[waves splashing]
37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,600
[suspenseful music]
38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760
[lantern creaking]
39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,560
[narrator] Woodes Rogers
has sailed halfway round the world
40
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:22,960
to stamp out Nassau's Pirate Republic
in the name of God and country.
41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,240
[reading indistinctly]
42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,360
[pirates cheering]
43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,640
What a festering hellhole.
44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,680
[woman moaning loudly]
45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Just listen to that godless rabble.
46
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:35,800
[woman moaning loudly]
47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Woodes Rogers was the King's man
going on behalf of the government
48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560
and on behalf of law and order
to clean this place up.
49
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,680
[narrator] But Rogers has a problem
50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,120
in the shape of
the most brutal pirate who ever lived:
51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,360
Charles Vane.
52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,480
[shot echoes]
53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,360
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Charles Vane is a man with no breeding.
No standing in society.
55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Hold him.
56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,480
[Lawrence] No respect for authority.
57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,720
- [squelching]
- [screams]
58
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Imposing his own law on other people.
59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,920
[pistol cocks]
60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Now would be the time to say something.
61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,160
[muffled gasp]
62
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:18,360
[narrator]
As one of the last pirates standing,
63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,240
Vane is now the self-appointed
governor of the pirates' republic.
64
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,840
[panting]
65
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,480
[man shouts indistinctly]
66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800
[suspenseful music]
67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,200
From Governor Vane, sir.
68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,880
He would like to know your...
69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,960
[gulps]
70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,280
...answer.
71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560
[narrator]
In his letter, Vane tells Rogers
72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,840
he will take the pardon on one condition:
73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320
he's allowed to keep all his booty.
74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Well, look here.
75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,000
A man who signs his name with a cross
76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,720
seems to think
he's in a position to negotiate with me.
77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440
[somber music]
78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Here's his answer.
79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,600
If he can't read it well enough,
tell him he can cooperate with the King
80
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:18,640
or he can hang.
81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,440
[somber music]
82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,760
[Conniff] Woodes Rogers is
horrifically scarred on his face.
83
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,120
Last time he's been in a direct
fight with pirates, he took a shot
84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
that lodged itself in his mouth,
85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,160
and here he is, once again,
86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,920
about to go back into
the same kinda conflict
87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,480
with the very same enemy.
88
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,880
[somber music]
89
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,360
[women laughing]
90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560
[narrator] The remnants
of Nassau's pirate community
91
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,960
await Rogers' response.
92
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320
[pirates laughing]
93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360
How long's your husband been now?
94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
He'll be working
his ways on Woodes Rogers,
95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,360
trying to steal a march
on yous all, no doubt,
96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760
at your very great cost.
97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,400
[door opens]
98
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,240
[somber music]
99
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
[sighs]
100
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,200
[shouting angrily]
101
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,200
[Fox] For Charles Vane,
Woodes Rogers was the enemy.
102
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:57,880
He was the personification
of everything that Vane hated.
103
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,400
He was a symbol of authority
that Vane seriously opposed.
104
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,000
So, he was the nemesis for Vane.
105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,080
We'll answer him in kind. Come on, lads.
106
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,960
[narrator]
Vane's messenger boy is James Bonny.
107
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,600
His wife, Anne,
the leading female pirate in Nassau,
108
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,320
is looking to trade up her man.
109
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,920
[waves splashing]
110
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,440
You have to take me away from him.
111
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,520
From James.
112
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,760
I will.
113
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,160
I'll talk to him. We'll organize it.
114
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,240
[romantic music]
115
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,200
[Cale] When Jack Rackham
fell in love with Anne Bonny,
116
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:44,840
she was still married.
117
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Now, at the time,
118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
divorce was only
really available to the wealthy,
119
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,760
and for everybody else,
they had wife sales and wife auctions.
120
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080
It was a pretty common way
to get out of a marriage.
121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
It's like trading her as a possession.
122
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,040
[romantic music]
123
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Hide it for now.
124
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,600
I'll bring more.
125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,920
I'll ride with that madman, Vane, for now,
126
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,240
but I'll come back with my own boat,
enough to pay off that bastard, Bonny.
127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Rackham! Rackham!
128
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,960
[whispers] That man is a madman.
129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,560
- I know, but he's gonna be a rich madman.
- Jack!
130
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,600
Got a surprise for Rogers. Come on.
131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Come on.
132
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,040
[Vane] Come on!
133
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,680
[somber music]
134
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,800
[suspenseful music]
135
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,560
Cut along there.
136
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,160
[narrator]
Rogers' fleet, with a force of 200 men,
137
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,600
is blockading Nassau Harbor.
138
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,720
[somber music]
139
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Burn my honest offer to parlay?
140
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Let's show him
what a proper fucking fire is.
141
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,720
[Fox] Vane took one of his ships, and
he filled it with everything he could find
142
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,360
that was flammable.
143
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,080
So, pitch and tar,
144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,080
probably all sorts of other chemicals...
145
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,080
[Woodward] The sort of cherry on top
was loading all the canon on this vessel
146
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,480
double loaded with shot,
147
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,160
so that when they heated up,
they'd also start randomly firing
148
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,200
and perhaps causing damage all around.
149
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,880
[flames crackling]
150
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:44,280
We're set, Captain.
151
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,400
[narrator]
Vane unleashes hell on the high seas
152
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480
against the King's Navy.
153
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,560
[flames whooshing]
154
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560
[dramatic music]
155
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,240
[flames roaring]
156
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840
[dramatic music]
157
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Sir! Sir!
158
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:12,960
Cut the lines!
159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Cut the lines or we all burn.
160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280
[Fox] These fire ships, as they were
called, were one of the most terrifying
161
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
things for a sailor at sea
162
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,440
because all the ships are made of wood
and hemp and rope and tar and canvas;
163
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,240
all things that would burn easily.
164
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,480
[flames crackling]
165
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,480
There's a fire, Rogers!
166
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,040
There's your fucking fire.
167
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Move, quickly!
168
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,120
[dramatic music]
169
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Hell awaits you, Vane.
170
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,640
Hell.
171
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Woodes Rogers crew, ships,
they cut their anchor cables,
172
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,040
they split, they just fled
in any direction they could
173
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,760
to get away from this fire ship.
174
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,840
Set her to the shallows, boys.
If the bastard follows, he'll run aground.
175
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240
[narrator]
As Rogers and his fleet scatter,
176
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Vane escapes in his sloop.
177
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,960
When I come back,
178
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,520
you'll be a dead governor
on a pile of English corpses.
179
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,440
[somber music]
180
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,480
[waves splashing]
181
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
[narrator] 700 miles north of Nassau,
182
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,160
up the Eastern Seaboard,
183
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,040
Blackbeard has decided
to take the King's pardon
184
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,600
but carry on plundering.
185
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,680
Load everything!
186
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Let's go, let's go.
187
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,240
[narrator] He brings a haul of booty
into the Port of Bath in North Carolina.
188
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Take a bag of sugar back. A nice
little sweetener for our new friend.
189
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,720
[sailors talking indistinctly]
190
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,280
[narrator] He's cut a deal
with the governor, Charles Eden.
191
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,560
[Blackbeard]
A healthy few days fishing, you'll agree?
192
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,000
Thought you might like it
as a gesture of goodwill.
193
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,280
A toast to your gracious pardon
and our new partnership.
194
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,040
[Woodward] Blackbeard's retirement plan
195
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,440
hinged on the idea
that he would be operating
196
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,360
under the legal protection of a governor.
197
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,080
With my men controlling your coast,
you'll be safe from the Spaniards,
198
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,480
and there'll be more happy
discoveries to line our pockets.
199
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,360
Governor Eden and his friends
200
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,440
will take a portion
of Blackbeard's profits
201
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,320
and will even offer to fence
some of the stolen merchandise.
202
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,680
[sinister music]
203
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Be careful, now, Captain.
204
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,640
My neighbors are beginning to fret.
205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,440
You don't want them to cry too loudly.
206
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,600
[chuckles softly]
207
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,960
[Woodward] This turned out
to be a misapprehension by Blackbeard,
208
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,640
who was not realizing just
how treacherous some of his enemies
209
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,120
in the established proper world
of governors and aristocrats might be.
210
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Keep it moving!
211
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,760
Faster!
212
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,160
[tense music]
213
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,440
[narrator] But Blackbeard
has already crossed the line,
214
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,360
and spies are watching his every move.
215
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,840
[indistinct sailors' chatter]
216
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,680
[birds calling]
217
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,240
[narrator] Up the coast
sits the spymaster,
218
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,840
who has infiltrated Blackbeard's crew.
219
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120
The Governor of Virginia,
Alexander Spotswood,
220
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,000
was a member of nobility.
221
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Now, Virginia had a great deal of trade,
222
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,040
particularly in tobacco,
223
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,400
and Spotswood's job
included protecting that trade.
224
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,440
[man] Apologies upon disturbing you.
225
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,840
We have new intelligence
upon the whereabouts of Blackbeard.
226
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,200
Blackbeard was an enormous threat to that.
227
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,480
Having a pirate with a powerful ship
and a powerful fleet,
228
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,880
sailing up and down the coast of Virginia
229
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,200
would have been devastating for the trade,
230
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,160
which would then have been
devastating for the colony itself.
231
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Lieutenant Maynard,
232
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,000
I am looking for a particular individual.
233
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,880
A man that history will record
234
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,120
as the savior of American trade.
235
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,880
A man who will
rid the world of Blackbeard.
236
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,920
Would you be that man?
237
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,200
That I would, sir.
238
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,560
Maynard was one of the oldest
lieutenants in the Royal Navy.
239
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,720
He was a very, very experienced sailor.
240
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,760
He would have been
an ideal man to hunt Blackbeard out
241
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,000
and to lead the attack on him.
242
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280
You need only do one thing.
243
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760
Bring me Blackbeard's head.
244
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760
[gulls crying]
245
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800
[blacksmith hammering]
246
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,160
[light, tense music]
247
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,040
[approaching footsteps]
248
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,720
[narrator]
With Charles Vane safely away at sea,
249
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Woodes Rogers lands in Nassau
250
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,480
as the new official governor.
251
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,720
[somber music]
252
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,200
[Woodward] Woodes Rogers was probably
encouraged by his formal arrival.
253
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Hornigold and other pirates assembled
to greet him in proper fashion.
254
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,840
[footsteps nearing]
255
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,840
I gather you have all read this?
256
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,640
So, I'll make to the nub of it.
257
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,760
Nassau is now under the rule of the Crown.
258
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,480
As its emissary,
259
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,160
to all intents and purposes
and the for the avoidance of doubt,
260
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080
I am the Crown.
261
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,480
[Walker] Rogers arrival
at the end of this site as a pirate nest,
262
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,520
it would have marked its transformation
into a more formal colony
263
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,120
and ushered in a new era.
264
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,120
[Rogers] Make no mistake.
265
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Nassau will now run according
to the rule of God and the King.
266
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Long live the King.
267
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,160
- Long live the King.
- King.
268
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,840
[sighs]
269
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Benjamin Hornigold,
at the Crown's service.
270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Hornigold.
271
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,160
Hornigold.
272
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Ah, yes.
273
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,080
The fool who unleashed
that murderous scum Vane
274
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,720
on the Caribbean.
275
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Yes...
276
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,120
[tense music]
277
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,320
It would be a poor Christian
who didn't believe in forgiveness,
278
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,680
and, as a God-fearing man,
279
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,680
I'm always pleased to offer the fallen
280
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,400
the path to redemption.
281
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,840
So, here is.
282
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,160
Use those skills you have
as a captain of some note.
283
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,120
Gather as many souls
as you can who are prepared to repent,
284
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,640
and chase down Charles Vane.
285
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,240
[tense music]
286
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,880
[scoffs]
287
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,440
There's no love lost
between me and that animal.
288
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,200
He's a danger to all of us.
289
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,400
To all of us.
290
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,760
So, yeah.
291
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,120
I'll hunt him down for you.
292
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,800
[tense music]
293
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,000
Somewhat for the Crown, but mainly
for the well-being of my companions.
294
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,520
Bring him to me,
feed him to the sharks as you will,
295
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,000
but scrub that man's soul
from the list of the living
296
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,080
and finish him.
297
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
[tense music]
298
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
[Fox]
He took the King's shilling, as it were.
299
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,080
He accepted Rogers' authority,
300
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,960
and he started working
for Rogers as a pirate hunter,
301
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,840
hunting down his former comrades
and bringing them to justice.
302
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,840
[narrator] Hornigold sets sail from Nassau
on a manhunt for Charles Vane.
303
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960
[waves splashing]
304
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,520
[suspenseful music]
305
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,640
Which
306
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,600
one...
307
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,400
will...
308
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,720
it
309
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,520
be?
310
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,960
[unsheathes knife]
311
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,120
[Woodward] Vane was going out
of his way to sadistically torture people,
312
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,640
and, you know, even if
he didn't think they have treasure,
313
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,280
well, if there's a one percent chance they
might be hiding something, we'll find out.
314
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,840
Tell the captain what you know.
315
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,840
I will cut you all into pound pieces
and sink this stinking ship!
316
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,560
Last chance.
317
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,960
[shouting] Where are the jewels?
318
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,400
- [whispering inaudibly]
- [Vane] What did that man say?
319
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,800
What did he say?
What did that man just say?
320
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,320
Plotting, is it?
321
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:51,800
Well don't you even dare think
about double-crossing Charles Vane,
322
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,720
or your thoughts will soon
be separated from your dandy neck.
323
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,000
No one's double-crossing you, Charles.
He had information useful to you.
324
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,200
So, where are the jewels?
325
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,600
No jewels, Charles.
326
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,080
More valuable than jewels.
327
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,160
[tense music]
328
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,760
They know where Blackbeard's camped.
329
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Then this man must find his voice!
330
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,280
And tell me
331
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280
where I might find the rascal.
332
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,240
[tense music]
333
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,880
Hmm?
334
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,640
[suspenseful music]
335
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,920
- [men laughing]
- [hornpipe playing]
336
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,840
[Blackbeard] Drink!
337
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,720
[Fox] After Blackbeard
had taken some French ships,
338
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,040
he and his men
retreated to Ocracoke Island,
339
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,840
which is several miles
off the coast of North Carolina.
340
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,320
Come on, you lazy bunch of nomads.
341
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,880
[pirates laughing]
342
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,920
- [laughing]
- [man] Drink!
343
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240
[pirates keep laughing]
344
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Up the Frenchies.
345
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,040
Up the Frenchies.
346
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:22,600
They have the mother of all parties.
347
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,440
They cracked open the barrels.
348
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840
They danced, they sang.
349
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,320
[narrator] But Blackbeard
knows that life as a pirate
350
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,120
has many ways of catching up with you.
351
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:39,600
[somber music]
352
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,960
It's very possible that
Blackbeard was suffering from syphilis.
353
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,080
[somber music continues]
354
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,880
[pained gasps]
355
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,360
Now, there was no cure
for syphilis that was readily available
356
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,720
until about 1930.
357
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,480
[pirates laughing]
358
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,480
So, if people contracted this, you could
expect it to eventually kill them
359
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,960
if something else didn't first.
360
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,160
[Blackbeard panting]
361
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,040
I think it's time, old friend,
362
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,480
for us to call it a day.
363
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,040
I think you need more alcohol.
364
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,560
[Vane] Edward!
365
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Oh,
366
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,800
you throw a marvelous party, my friend.
367
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:23,880
[chuckles]
368
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,320
What a stroke of fortune
you were passing this way.
369
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,400
[Vane] Mm.
370
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,560
I've been looking for you.
371
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Nassau's lost.
372
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,040
And Benjamin, where is he?
373
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:46,440
He's a turncoat.
374
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,400
He's betrayed us all.
He's a pirate hunter.
375
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Betrayed?
376
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Yeah.
377
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,240
I'm offering you the chance
378
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,640
to be the pirates who control
the seas from Boston to Hispaniola.
379
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,080
[Blackbeard laughs]
380
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,120
You and me.
381
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,520
[Lawrence] I think
Blackbeard knew that his time was up.
382
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,320
Everybody knew his name.
383
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,440
Everybody knew him at every single port,
and he needed to find a way out of this
384
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,600
which didn't end in a hangman's noose,
385
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,560
and hanging around
with a wanted criminal like Charles Vane
386
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,840
was not a way to go.
387
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,680
I'll let you have the high seas, Vane.
388
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,400
I'm happy
with these here sands and inlets.
389
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,320
[woman laughing]
390
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,840
[tense music]
391
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,800
[Vane laughs]
392
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,720
You'll regret this,
393
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Edward Thatch.
394
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,280
[somber music]
395
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,240
[downbeat hornpipe music]
396
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,160
[narrator] Ocracoke is a slap in the face,
397
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,440
but Vane isn't going to give up.
398
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,400
[Fox] Vane ordered
an attack on a merchant ship.
399
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,400
It looked like a nice, big merchant ship,
carrying wealthy cargo.
400
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,840
Merchant ships,
although they often had canons,
401
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,240
very rarely fought back.
402
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,400
The crews weren't paid to defend the ship,
they were just paid to sail it.
403
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,600
She looks loaded, lads.
404
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,840
[pirates] Yeah!
405
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,840
[Lawrence] The merchant ship
is a French Crown-backed vessel.
406
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,640
This means that aboard this ship
isn't just some merchant sailors,
407
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,960
no, these are trained officers.
408
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,240
This means this ship is heavy
in the water because of the canon,
409
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,600
not because of booty.
410
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,840
Flak!
411
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,320
[cannon fire echoing]
412
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,000
[Fox] The canons opened fire.
It was a devastating salvo.
413
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Caused a lot of damage.
414
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,520
[cannon fire echoing]
415
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Immediately, he ordered the attack off.
416
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,960
- Turn about!
- Too late.
417
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,200
If we turn around now,
she'll blow us to pieces.
418
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,840
- Let's have at her!
- [pirates] Yeah!
419
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,200
- [pirate] Come on!
- Turn about! I ain't dying on this!
420
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,440
- [Rackham] Come on!
- [men shouting]
421
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280
[Lawrence] His crew, desperate for booty,
422
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,680
desperate for continuing
the journey, they're not scared.
423
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,920
But the captain says no, and this
424
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,960
puts a question
in every single crew member's mind
425
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,200
about whether he is
worthy enough to be their captain.
426
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
[cannon fire echoing]
427
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480
[ship hull creaking]
428
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Vane's decision to retreat
caused a split in the crew.
429
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,160
Some people supported him,
but the majority of the crew didn't.
430
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,520
They were disappointed that
they hadn't pressed forward the attack.
431
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,840
- The crew feel that your command...
- You all owe me your lives.
432
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,880
On the contrary, your command today
risked this ship and everyone aboard.
433
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,240
A strategic withdrawal.
434
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Sometimes it's better
to fight another day.
435
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,120
That faction found
a leader in John Rackham,
436
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,240
who was the quartermaster,
the second-in-command of Vane's crew,
437
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,160
and they really opposed
Vane's leadership on this issue.
438
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,800
You were committed to the fight. That
turnaround wasn't strategic withdrawal.
439
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,120
We all saw you.
440
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,880
It was cowardice.
441
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,080
We ask that you step down.
442
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,280
Stand down, is it?
443
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Well I'd like to see the man
brave enough to ask me to stand down.
444
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,640
[Fox] They demanded that he step down,
445
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,760
and when he refused,
they took a vote on it.
446
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,000
And, the vote went against Vane,
and Rackham took over.
447
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,880
Come back! Come back!
448
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600
Come back! I'm your fucking captain!
449
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Come back here! Come back!
450
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,040
Fuck!
451
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,920
Vane had a hold on his cohorts.
452
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,480
He was an inspirational character.
They looked to him for leadership.
453
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,720
And so he almost certainly was surprised
454
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,240
when his company not only disagreed,
but decided to depose him.
455
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,560
[somber music]
456
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,120
[narrator] Charles Vane is castaway.
457
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,360
The so-called King of Nassau's reign
458
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,080
was brutal, bloody and short.
459
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,600
[Vane] Come back!
Come back! I'm your fucking caption.
460
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,920
[waves splashing]
461
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,120
[narrator] Back in Nassau, Woodes Rogers
knocks the island into shape.
462
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,440
- [whip cracks]
- [screaming]
463
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,040
[Rogers] Lay it on, man.
464
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,400
[screams]
465
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,560
[whipping and screaming continue]
466
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,280
[narrator]
For Anne Bonny, her lover is back.
467
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,920
- [whip cracks]
- [screams]
468
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
[narrator]
But Calico Jack is now Captain Jack
469
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,400
and he can finally afford
to buy Anne's freedom.
470
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,920
- [whip cracks]
- [man screams]
471
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,440
I have your money, Bonny.
472
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,560
- [whip cracks]
- [agonized scream]
473
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,280
[Cale] Jack wanted to do the right thing,
and him and Anne, they were in love,
474
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,720
they wanted to be together,
475
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,360
and Jack was willing to do
what he needed to do to make that happen.
476
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,440
So, he offered to buy her.
477
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,520
This, for the most popular girl in Nassau?
478
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,200
How many men a day pay me
479
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,880
for the pleasure of fucking
such a pretty and willing whore?
480
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,480
[scoffs]
481
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Imagine my luck.
482
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,280
Pimped to a whore
who enjoys her work more than they do.
483
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,240
- You...
- [Rackham] Hey.
484
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,000
[Simon] James Bonny,
at this point, is so insulted
485
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,800
that he decided to go to Woodes Rogers.
486
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,440
He said that his wife
was trying to make a cuckold out of him.
487
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,720
Bring her to me.
488
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,400
[Simon] He demanded
something be done about it.
489
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,920
So,
490
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920
you cheat on your husband with a pirate?
491
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Not a pirate, no.
492
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,000
I took the pardon.
493
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,800
I'm a free man.
494
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,080
Free to marry this infamous whore?
495
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200
What devilry would tempt you to do that?
496
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,040
Perhaps we should see for ourselves.
497
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,960
No!
498
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,240
[panting, groaning]
499
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,160
[Anne gasps]
500
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800
[Simon] Woodes Rogers
decided to employ a law,
501
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,600
which wasn't used very often,
502
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,160
to beat a woman
503
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,520
who was cheating on her husband
or trying to leave him.
504
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,720
The blame all fell
completely onto the woman,
505
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,240
stripping them of any dignity
506
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,840
and stripping them any sort of agency
and freedom to make their own decision,
507
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,040
to better their own lives
in their own way.
508
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,160
[Rogers] No.
509
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,320
If the devil is
to be beaten out of this harlot,
510
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,360
it is only fitting that you should do it.
511
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,560
[dramatic music]
512
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,640
[breathes heavily]
513
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,720
[softly] No. No!
514
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:03,000
[Anne breathing heavily] No!
515
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,080
[Anne gasps]
516
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,240
Hold.
517
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,960
I think it's about time you let us leave.
518
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,720
Don't you?
519
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,880
[grunts]
520
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,680
Cunt.
521
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Stand down.
522
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,600
Stand down.
523
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,200
[Rogers breathing heavily]
524
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,640
[upbeat music]
525
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,720
[narrator] At last,
Anne Bonny is what she set out to be:
526
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,640
a pirate on the high seas.
527
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,280
With her lover in tow...
528
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Let's finish this.
529
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,760
[narrator]
...this new legend of the Caribbean
530
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,960
will never again be subject to mere men.
531
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,680
For the first time,
she considered herself to be truly free.
532
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,280
She was able to dress how she wanted.
533
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,520
She wore men's clothes.
534
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,400
And she had her shirt open,
exposing her breasts,
535
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,920
proving to the world
that she did not need to adhere
536
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,320
to society's expectations.
537
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,720
Not using her sexuality
to get what she wanted
538
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,360
or anything like that,
539
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,840
but she was using her body
as a way to show
540
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,520
that she belonged to nobody,
541
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,280
and that nobody controlled her.
542
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,720
[upbeat music]
543
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,080
[Anne gasps]
544
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,920
Hold!
545
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,680
[shot echoing]
546
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,720
[waves splashing]
547
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,320
[narrator] Lieutenant Maynard
and his British crew
548
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,600
ditch their Naval uniforms
549
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,360
to hunt the coast
of North Carolina for Blackbeard.
550
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,280
[Woodward] A Naval detachment of sailors
sailed down to Blackbeard's alleged lair,
551
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,800
at the mouth of the creek,
on Ocracoke Island.
552
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,000
And there they found
Blackbeard and his men.
553
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Gentlemen, we have him.
554
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,680
[somber music]
555
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,240
[Blackbeard coughing]
556
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,560
[narrator] In those shallow,
secret inlets of Ocracoke,
557
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Blackbeard discovers
he's more vulnerable than he'd like.
558
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,960
From Governor Eden.
559
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,240
He fears Spotswood has
a team of assassins after us.
560
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,040
[somber music]
561
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,880
Seems the cowardly puppies have found us.
562
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,760
[somber music continues]
563
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,960
It's a very treacherous area,
where boats can run aground very easily,
564
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,720
and that's exactly what happened.
565
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,320
Maynard's vessel
ran aground and was stranded.
566
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,400
They may be inconvenienced.
567
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,760
We should leave them there to rot.
568
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,960
They're hardly in a position to follow us.
569
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,280
Or we can finish 'em.
570
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Let's put an end
to Spotswood's plans now, brother.
571
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Let's do it right now.
572
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,640
[coughs]
573
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:48,880
Blackbeard was
determined to end this fight.
574
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,440
He knew he couldn't get away.
575
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,200
Man the canons.
576
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,920
Grenados, to the ready!
577
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,880
We fight!
578
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,280
[coughing]
579
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,640
[shot echoing]
580
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:06,040
[powder sizzling]
581
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,280
[cannon fire echoing]
582
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,520
He knew this as a do or die moment.
583
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,880
He had to win the battle.
584
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,320
[cannon fire echoing]
585
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,800
[Fox] They threw grenades across.
586
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,480
These would be cast iron balls,
filled with explosives
587
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:34,240
that would explode in a hail of shrapnel,
excellent for clearing decks.
588
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,680
[grenade exploding]
589
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,000
[pistol shot echoing]
590
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,960
[somber music]
591
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,960
[Choundas]
Blackbeard is the first over the rail
592
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,400
to board Maynard's sloop
and to secure her.
593
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,640
They see bloodied bodies
sprawled across that upper deck,
594
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,200
and so, in Blackbeard's mind,
he thinks the battle's over.
595
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,360
He thinks the struggle is done,
and now it's just a matter of cleaning up.
596
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,880
[suspenseful music]
597
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:24,320
Go to the rear!
598
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,120
- You see him?
- No. Stay sharp.
599
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,560
[suspenseful music]
600
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,920
Maynard has been clever
in how he's going to approach
601
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,360
this inevitable confrontation
between the two parties.
602
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,720
He's put himself in a position of strength
by using the element of surprise.
603
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560
Identify yourself.
604
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,200
[suspenseful music]
605
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,240
You don't know me?
606
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,440
I'm the devil made flesh.
607
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,560
The man with the flaming beard.
608
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,120
[Blackbeard yells]
609
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,640
- [both men grunting]
- [blades clashing]
610
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,960
- [blades clashing]
- [both grunting and groaning]
611
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,480
[somber music]
612
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,760
[blade clatters]
613
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,920
[groans]
614
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,960
[Blackbeard screams furiously]
615
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,480
[panting]
616
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,080
[Blackbeard groans]
617
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,080
[pained growl]
618
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,840
[angry grunt]
619
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,440
- [blade slicing flesh]
- [Blackbeard screaming]
620
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,800
[narrator] It's too late
for Blackbeard, but not for vengeance.
621
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
[Lawrence] Black Caesar went below decks,
622
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,680
where there was a lot of gunpowder
623
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,360
and under his captain's instructions,
624
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,680
to blow up the ship.
625
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,800
[dramatic music]
626
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,360
Black Caesar,
there's no way of escaping himself,
627
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,880
this was a suicide mission.
628
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,520
[grunts]
629
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,000
[panting]
630
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,640
[somber music]
631
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,240
I think the death of Blackbeard
is really the symbolic end
632
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,000
of the Golden Age of Piracy.
633
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,760
There's no greater archetype
634
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,560
whose image and embodiment
represents the spirit
635
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,520
that we all understand to be pirates
more than Blackbeard.
636
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,240
Maynard took Blackbeard's severed head
637
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,240
and tied it onto the bowsprit
at the front of his ship,
638
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,760
a signal to all that he passed
639
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,520
that Blackbeard was defeated,
that Blackbeard was gone
640
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,400
and that he was the man who had done it.
641
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,440
Let the lesson be to anyone
who seeks to follow in his footsteps,
642
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,320
that the same fate would await them.
643
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,560
[somber music]
644
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,080
[narrator] As the sun sets
on the Golden Age of Piracy,
645
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,360
what of the other
great characters in our story?
646
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Charles Vane is captured,
647
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:37,440
and before Port Royal's rabble,
648
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,240
he meets a fitting end.
649
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,480
On the day of his execution,
the streets would be lined with people,
650
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,120
queuing up to this famous pirate executed.
651
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,000
[thunder rumbling]
652
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,760
[narrator]
But Vane is defiant until the end.
653
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,840
Fuck your fucking King
654
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,560
and the rich assholes
that milk the poor like working cattle.
655
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:07,840
[man] Go!
656
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,760
[Vane grunts]
657
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,240
[panting]
658
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,920
[rasps, chokes]
659
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,840
[narrator] Paulsgrave Williams,
660
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,960
ever restless.
661
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,680
He heads to the east coast of Africa.
662
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,000
Henry Jennings.
663
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,040
He retires
as a wealthy plantation owner in Bermuda.
664
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,400
His old adversary,
665
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,200
godfather of Nassau, Benjamin Hornigold,
666
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,240
they say he takes up privateering again.
667
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,640
But then he vanishes.
668
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:56,000
most likely joining Black Sam Bellamy
at the bottom of the ocean,
669
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,760
the pirates' watery grave.
670
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,960
[narrator]
As for Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham,
671
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,400
their ending is bittersweet.
672
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,920
If you can't fight like a man,
you deserve to hang like a dog!
673
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,280
Bastard! Bastard!
674
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,000
[narrator]
He fails to defend her and tries to hide.
675
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,040
Both are captured by British forces
and sentenced to death.
676
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,560
[bell ringing]
677
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,120
[somber music]
678
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,800
But Anne's life is spared
when she reveals she is with child.
679
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,280
Some say Bonny
even settles in North Carolina
680
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:44,680
and lives to see
the founding of a new republic,
681
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:45,960
a new nation,
682
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,440
free from the British Crown,
683
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,040
the United States of America.
684
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,960
[somber music]
685
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,040
[dramatic swashbuckling music]
