"Woman:" "I wish we had the usual problems, but if there's any slip, it's gonna get worse." "Fx presents taboo." "When you first came back, you told me you loved me." "There is no us." "Chichester:" "I am investigating thesinkingof asloop calledthecornwallis." "Iwantyou towritean account, naming sir Stuart strange as the man who organized the loading with slaves." "For the safe." "Sir Stuart:" "You witnessed the division of the gunpowder and you heard its destination?" "On direct instructions of James Delaney himself, sir." "Sir Stuart:" "We have Delaney." "We have nootka." "We have the China trade." "Coop:" "They will walk you alonga tightrope." "A line between life and death." "James:" "I will give you all the information that you request." "But in return, i will need a single meeting with sir Stuart strange." "If your witness is Delaney, heisbeingheld inthetowerofLondon, chargedwithtreason." "No." "I have another witness." "When my ship is ready, i will send for you." "You don't have a bloody ship!" "Lorna:" "Brace, I spoke to a witness." "It wasn't James that killed the girl." "It was the east India company." "I need to tell James." "They've got him." "Where is he?" "Brace:" "They took him to the tower." "I am here." "I have a use for you." "Zilpha: "Dear James," ""atlastIhavefoundaway outofthecage inwhichIhavebeen living." ""EyesI didn'tknowIhad wereopened." ""Isawthelimitsofmy life." ""Theironbarsaroundmysoul."

""Itisaplacewhere, someday,I hopewe will meetandbe happy."" "Sir Stuart:" "In those days, i always chose boys who had the shadow of death on them." "I thought they would be less likely to return." "Of course, they do return." "As ghosts." "Now I am older..." "How many boys..." "How many company boys did you send to crew your private ships?" "Please don't believe that I will say anything to confirm or deny any action past, present or future..." "In any regard whatsoever to this business." "Hmm." "But the point is, you see, you didn't die, did you?" "Not even over there." "Where everyone dies." "No." "No, I did not." "I was rescued by an African." "Who saved me, and he cured me," "and he showed me to myself." "The things I did in Africa make your transactions look paltry." "I witnessed and participated in darkness that you cannot conceive." "And will you be including that in your account to the royal commission?" "No." "Luckily, I'm not being tried for that today." "Oh." "They serve good hock to traitors." "Perhaps you will be served the same." "Mmm." "I understand you asked poor, sweet Godfrey to write an account too." "Mmm." "I assume you want to make some sort of a deal." "Is this the extent of your ambition?" "It is in return for my silence." "And for Godfrey to burn his account." "No." "I can't deliver that." "Then you'd better get used to the taste." "I'm working on this here." "When the cornwallis left cabinda and became the influence, it was I, James Delaney, who stowed the Jack and company flags." "An east India ship, renamed," "laden with illegal slaves and flying the stars and stripes..." "At the direct request of sir Stuart strange." "That's treason." "One living witness." "In one hour, I will be interviewed by the king's private secretary, three attorneys and a half a dozen clerks." "They will want it in writing." "Mmm-hmm?" "And at midday," "Godfrey..." "Poor,sweetGodfrey..." "He will deliver his own account to the royal commission confirming how you concealed your ownership of this ship," "and its cargo..." "By committing treason." "So that's one living witness." "And one account from an east India company clerk prepared to give information heard under a raised hand." "Keep it." "I remember it all." "I need a ship." "You have four hours." "Brace." "I'm going out." "I need to see someone." "From miss Delaney." "Oh..." "Robert:" "Mr. cholmondeley!" "Mr. cholmondeley." "Mr. cholmondeley." "I have a message for you, sir." "From Mr. Delaney." "How the hell did he find me?" "Just humor me." "I'm a scientist, so I'm curious." "He sees me in my dreams." "Is that it?" "I just deliver messages, sir." "Robert:" "Atticus?" "Good boy." "Wilton!" "Pettifer!" "Gentlemen, there are things i need you to do." "Ready for this?" "Mmm." "Yeah, go on." "Hit the ball." "Soldier:" "You're not holding it tight enough." "Where's the other one?" "Sorry, sir." "She don't speak." "She's in mourning." "Pettifer:" "Fetch her." "I've had a coach drawn up." "You ladies are going on a tour of the grounds." "At the point of a bayonet, if necessary." "Bring her." "Soldier:" "Come on." "I want to know where you are taking us." "In." "Soldier:" "Hurry up." "Pettifer:" "Go." "James:" "Tell them that I'm not ready." "I need to see a doctor." "Watch him!" "Mr. Delaney is in need of a doctor, sir." "He must be bluffing." "Or has he fallen off the tightrope?" "Well, you go and bring the doctor then." "And we can all pray to god that we haven't completely fried his brain." "Ah!" "Hold up." "Out!" "The rest of you." "Out, now!" "Pettifer:" "These gentlemen are actually here to rescue you." "Atticus?" "If it was down to me, you'd have been dead long ago." "Delaney ordered you shouldn't be harmed." "There's still plenty of cocks left for you to suck." "The agreement is that you take the ladies away in the coach and I walk back to the house and report that they were kidnapped." "In truth, your beloved child was killed for a greater purpose." "Isn't that right, Mr. pettifer?" "There is an agreement in place between my master and yours." "Indeed there is." "Get in." "Drive, boy." "A brig called the good hope." "It is fitted out for a voyage to constantinople and is set to leave tomorrow on the ebb." "Is it yet loaded?" "No." "Draw up papers to have it diverted." "Have it rowed to wapping wall by a skeleton crew." "It's to be tied up with only provisions on board." "Enough for a crew of 15 for a..." "Two-month journey." "Uh, for what reason, sir?" "Hmm?" "Uh, what I mean is, what is the official reason i should give in the daybook?" "The official reason." "Well, let's see." "Um..." "Thegoodhope was taken to wapping wall for an unannounced inspection of its hull for short measures of tar in case of fraudulent accounting by the shipfitters, master and preece." "Hmm?" "Put that in the daybook." "And what is the official reason for sending two company dray carts to bedlam insane asylum?" "Because this whole thing is insane." "Because this day is insane." "Because Delaney is insane." "Because I am insane!" "Just do it." "Should we await Mr. pettifer's return?" "No, we should not await Mr. pettifer's return." "Just fuck off, will you?" "Come on." "Out." "We need to burn this." "Atticus, i want an explanation..." "Helga, get in." "Come on!" "That's all right." "You have nothing to fear." "What?" "Temple was on the foreshore." "He saw James sleeping in the mud, and went to lay down beside him." "He then saw a man arrive in a boat." "Moving like a ghost, wasn't he?" "And it was this ghost that killed your winter as she slept." "The man then got back in the boat." "Temple followed him along the foreshore, where he's met by someone on the other side." "They were in a carriage." "Like the one you just came out on." "The east India company." "Is that the truth, little boy?" "You know what happens to little boys that lie, don't you?" "I swear it's the truth." "Lorna:" "James is offering you a new start." "So, James..." "Things that go bang..." "There." "There." "Things that cause confusion." "Guard:" "His majesty's representatives want to know how much longer." "Another half an hour at least." "I swear to god he was beaten half to death before he yelped, "enough."" "Why do so many of them choose to be beaten?" "Power." "One told me it's like pissing." "You build up the power inside your belly and then you need to let it out." "And a good thrashing from a countess does the trick apparently." "Full house." "Shall we refer our opinions to Dr. gin?" "Mmm-hmm." "Who on earth is that?" "Countess?" "I thought you would be alone." "Well, as you can see, i am not." "What do you want?" "I believe we have an appointment." "My only appointment is with intoxication." "As you may recall, i represent a company which produces products which restore and enhance female beauty." "And also a certain feminine product which you may prefer to discuss in private." "I don't recall." "Pixie, perhaps as well as medicine for your poor, worn-out chuff, the lady may have something to repair a faulty memory." "Mmm." "Do you have a beauty product which would bag me an admiral?" "I have a product which would allow you to accommodate an entire fleet without discomfort." "Admiral and rear admiral." "My products include paints and oils but, in particular, powder." "And for those of us who have secrets, marks, blemishes..." "We've ways of preserving those secrets." "Those who use it will do almost anything for it when their supply is exhausted." "The name of the powder is collonade." "And you have samples?" "Indeed." "Perhaps I could show you in person how to apply it for best advantage." "Ladies, I will be back before the sandwiches." "How dull life was before musgrove." "What the fuck are you doing?" "Coming to my house and talking of powder." "I work for James Delaney." "He's in the tower." "Not for long." "He sails today." "And he requires a letter for safe passage." "The codes for the flags." "And I get the treaty in return?" "No." "No, you see, there's a letter which we will send to Solomon Coop." "Revealing that you titillate and intoxicate on behalf of the Americans." "If I fail to return, it will be delivered by midday." "James Delaney also says to tell collonade that you do indeed have a leaky ship." "That he's found the leak and will fix it, as long as you cooperate." "James..." "What are you to him?" "I am Mrs. Delaney." "His wife." "No." "His mother." "man:" "This just arrived for you, sir." "Thank you." "The whores are freed." "I'm ready." "No, you're not." "You're not finished." "I'm ready." "So..." "Now the witness is sewn together..." "We can begin." "Please confirm that you are James keziah Delaney of chamber house, wapping wall, London." "Lately accused of conspiring with the members of the secret society of correspondence against his majesty, the king." "And you have pledged to give us the names of the Americans who conspired with you and others unnamed to commit acts of treason within the confines of the city of London." "Mr. Delaney..." "Mr. Delaney, unless you give up the names of your co-conspirators, every single stitch that they have just put into your flesh" "I will pull out myself with my fingernails." "Give us the names or you will be racked!" "I will squash your balls myself and make you eat the paste." "You promised to give me those names." "Did I?" "I must have lied." "I will tell you one thing, though." "Allthecharges oftreasonbrought againstme by the members of the east India company," "they will be dropped before midday." "Witnesses vanish." "Testimonies, they burn." "Demandswillbe met andpridewillbeswallowed." "Andwhenmorning becomesafternoon..." "Then,I willbecome afreeman." "How would you know that?" "The ravens just told me." "Shit." "Shit..." "Shit." "Shit!" "Prince regent:" "So?" "This is the last one." "Yes, sir." "I hear the case is altered." "Indeed, your majesty." "We have to release Delaney." "Psst." "Aye." "It will happen." "On you, bill, yeah?" "Off the streets!" "Man:" "On you." "Brighton, Martinez, shut the street down." "We're expecting visitors." "Come on, children." "Everyone else, you heard the man, off the streets!" "Yes?" "From Mr. Delaney." "Torrent downloaded from RARBG" "Zilpha: "I'm planning tojourneyto heaven,James." ""I'verealizedthetruth."

"What are you doing?" "We should be leaving." "If she were dead, i would know it." "I would hear her." "And I would feel it." "As if there were a door open in this very house." "Oh, James." "No." "No." "Ifshewasintheriver ..." "Shewouldsingtome." "And I would hear her." "Her words are very certain." "How did I not know?" "Because the dead don't sing." "If they don't sing, then how do I hear them?" "That is a question to be asked and answered in America." "Is it not?" "The tide's rising." "You have lots of people waiting for you." "People who've given up everything for you, James." "The tide ebb, she'll still be gone." "The tide won't bring her back." "You know, we could just sit here in these rotting chairs, in this shitty house, and..." "And die like rats, like your father." "We ought to go to nootka." "Anything." "It's a fine day to die at sea." "I have some unfinished business to take care of." "I'll be back." "We'll board together." "Right to the ship, come on, boys, keep going." "Straight though." "Man:" "Sir... excuse me, sir." "Sir!" "Let him in." "Let him in." "Mr. chichester, how goes your investigation?" "This will not stand." "Well, it always does." "Delaney would not make a deal with you." "The record will show that the eic cooperated with your commission into the sinking of the influence fully and without reservation." "You're an idealist." "Delaney and i are realists." "But the difference between Delaney and me is that I always make sure i have one last Ace to play." "Good day, Mr. chichester." "I swear..." "This will not stand." "God!" "You look like you need laudanum." "I have an hour." "I need to be on the water by high tide." "You have a ship?" "Mmm-hmm." "This laudanum is diluted somewhat with burdock so that you can continue to function." "But I doubt you would be able to steer a ship to America." "You have people with you?" "Mr. Delaney, I'm sure that you are probably expecting me to hand you your letter of safe passage." "But I'm afraid it isn't going to be that simple." "Nothing in this war between cousins is simple." "There is just a small hurdle that you have to leap over first." "Take a look." "It's a deed of transfer." "Mmm?" "Transferring my title to nootka sound to the east India company..." "And your friend, Stuart strange." "Mmm." "When I first met you, you told me that a sheep can be meat, but it can also be wool." "At first the code eluded me, but then I realized it's not even a code, is it?" "You are simply somebody's meat, boy." "You present yourself as an agent of the free states of America, like a good little sheep." "But long since you've been dangled in front of the king of england by the east India company." "Mmm?" "Now you're scrabbling, desperate..." "Pulling your wool..." "Over everybody's eyes." "Possibly even your own." "Does it even matter?" "No." "No one in this city has only one master." "Pen." "I do." "Zilpha:" "James..." "Youtoldme youlovedme." "Yes." "Zilpha:" "James..." "Yes, sir?" "Both hands." "Good boy." "Has he bothered to employ anyone who can actually sail that thing?" "No sparks, no flames." "No inflammatory comments." "I am covered in explosives." "Man:" "Oi..." "Move on." "Come on, load 'er up." "Wait, get him." "Where is Delaney?" "Busy." "She is now under the flag of the honorable east India so you will have no hindrance." "Tell Mr. Delaney..." "He may have won this small battle, but justice will be delivered to him by god." "Kind regards from Stuart strange." "Get the body in the river." "Get the powder on the ship." "Move!" "Come on, shift your arse." "Get him loaded, now!" "Oi, get loading!" "How is your religion these days, Coop?" "My what?" "Your religion." "Your faith." "After many years in your service, it is in rags and tatters, your highness." "And have you spoken about all this with god?" "I, uh, discuss things with my wife." "In bed." "Well, I talk to god." "I spoke to him just now." "And what did god say?" "Conversations between monarchs and god are private." "But I will give you the gist of it." "Due to this monumental balls-up, everyone must hang." "East India," "Americans," "Irish, French." "Dogs, cats..." "Rabbits." "Why not?" "Your highness..." "The priests." "There is little doubt in my mind..." "Clerks, fitters that senior directors at the east India have done a deal with Delaney." "Just fucking kill him!" "If he dies, then nootka goes to the Americans as per his will." "Fuck nootka!" "Fuck wills, fuck treaties." "I am the head of fucking state!" "And by the command of his majesty..." "Kill him." "Mary, Mary, come away." "Where are you keeping everyone?" "In there." "Right." "You good?" "Fifteen minutes since your last sight." "So, charges." "Yeah, we'll need a chemist." "And he's a nightmare." "Cole will kill him with his own cock if he's not shot today." "James:" "I can't kill him." "Why?" "We need him." "He's a doctor." "Is the powder on the ship?" "Fifty-five kegs on board, fifteen on the dock and, uh, two in the water." "Right." "Well, when we are sixty-and-ten," "I need you to take the pilgrims and put them on the ship before the ebb." "Where are you going?" "To explain the plans." "I don't want you to tell them the plans." "Besides, you're not coming." "What?" "Brace, you have always been my father's man in my father's world." "We're headed to my mother's now." "James, tell me this too is mercy." "I'm an old man." "I would never survive." "Tell me that's the reason." "Brace, you were not born for freedom." "You wouldn't know what to do with it." "It would torture you." "Now go home." "Everything belongs to you now." "The soldiers are here!" "Atticus, bill." "Right, Robert." "Get down there." "Tell them to hurry up with that cargo." "Quick!" "Keep moving, all of you!" "Fast." "Come on, you lot." "Move!" "The soldiers are coming." "Hurry up!" "Atticus:" "Come on!" "Don't stop, let's go." "Soldier:" "Halt." "Tide's about to turn, James." "Go get them." "Put them on the ship now." "Move it." "Soldier:" "Fire!" "Everybody out." "Come on." "Move." "Come on, now." "Move!" "Move!" "Wait." "Leave it." "Leave it!" "Helga!" "Get in." "Go, go!" "Ah!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "How many?" "Fuck!" "Man:" "Sir." "Mmm-hmm." "Ah-ha, my final Ace." "Still no word from wilton or pettifer, sir." "Ah, perhaps they left early for the weekend." "As will I, I think." "How did this get here?" "Uh, some errand boy delivered it, sir, from a Dr. dumbarton." "Said you'd be expecting it." "Tea, I think." "Tea, sir?" "Yes." "All the tea in China and a strip of land at the arse of a pig." "And an end to this business at last." "Chichester:" "Hello?" "Forgive me, the door was open." "I just received a note." "Mr. Delaney said he had left his account of the sinking of the cornwallis and the account of the east India clerk, Godfrey." "It said I would find it in his room." "Which one is his room?" "His room is the attic." "The one looking onto the river." "Hmm." "Justice." "Cholmondeley:" "Maria?" "Yes." "Cholmondeley:" "Maria?" "Yes." "I am sorry for what I did to you." "I am sorry." "You are forgiven." "She's a good old girl." "Mmm." "America then?" "No." "Ponta delgada in the azores." "I need to see a man called colonnade." "I thought the gunpowder was for the Americans?" "We are Americans." "Woman:" "David?" "Man:" "He's making me nervous." "Don't touch me!" "Legion." "David:" "Is this real?" "All new wednesdays at 10:00." "On fx."
