00:03:04,419 --> 00:03:06,269

Forgive me, Father...

00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:11,319

for I have indeed sinned.

Behold!

00:04:48,819 --> 00:04:50,319

A witness!

00:04:58,619 --> 00:04:59,669

Behold!

00:05:00,819 --> 00:05:02,969

A good man!

10

00:05:04,669 --> 00:05:06,919

Behold! A man of his calling!

11

00:05:08,069 --> 00:05:12,019

Behold, a witness to

God's deep love for us all.

12

00:05:43,019 --> 00:05:45,819

Mrs. Geary, I do not

wish to be indelicate,

13

00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:49,319

but did you pay the

grave-diggers the extra shilling?

14
00:05:49,419 --> 00:05:50,869

What extra shilling?

15

00:05:50,969 --> 00:05:53,569

To bury your father

deeper in the ground.

16

00:05:53,669 --> 00:05:55,569

Resurrectionists (kẻ đào mộ) pay extra

17

00:05:55,669 --> 00:05:57,719

to be buried two feet

deeper than the rest.

18

00:05:57,819 --> 00:06:01,219

That way, the grave-robbers

can't dig down to their meat

19

00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:02,519

before the sun comes up.

20

00:06:02,619 --> 00:06:05,669

My wife has no business


with the grave-diggers.

21

00:06:07,619 --> 00:06:10,719

Her father will rest

at the regular depth.

22

00:06:20,269 --> 00:06:22,719

Dear God.

23

00:06:22,819 --> 00:06:24,569

There walks a dead man.

24

00:06:27,419 --> 00:06:28,619

Who is that?

25

00:06:28,719 --> 00:06:30,719

Is hell opened up?

26

00:06:33,219 --> 00:06:36,369

Dear Lord Almighty,

is that your brother?

27
00:06:49,669 --> 00:06:52,719

Before we begin, may we

bow our heads in prayer?

28

00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:58,169

Our Father, which art in heaven,

29

00:06:58,269 --> 00:07:00,219

hallowed be thy name.

30

00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,919

Thy kingdom come...

31

00:07:03,019 --> 00:07:07,369

thy will be done on

Earth as it is in Heaven.

32

00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:10,319

Give us this day our daily bread...

33

00:07:19,969 --> 00:07:23,519

For as much as it hath pleased

Almighty God of his great mercy


34

00:07:23,619 --> 00:07:27,419

to take unto himself the soul of

our dear brother, here departed,

35

00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:29,919

we therefore commit

his body to the ground.

36

00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:32,069

Earth to Earth...

37

00:07:32,169 --> 00:07:35,569

...ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

38

00:07:35,669 --> 00:07:39,119

In sure and certain

hope of the Resurrection.

39

00:07:42,719 --> 00:07:44,519

We will change our vile body...

40
00:07:48,019 --> 00:07:50,319

according to the mighty working

41

00:07:50,419 --> 00:07:54,519

whereby he is able to

subdue all things to himself.

42

00:08:14,419 --> 00:08:15,719

<i>Sir?</i>

43

00:08:15,819 --> 00:08:17,519

Mr. Delaney, is it?

44

00:08:18,619 --> 00:08:19,869

Sir?

45

00:08:21,369 --> 00:08:24,169

- James Delaney, is it?

- Who are you?

46

00:08:27,269 --> 00:08:29,469

- They said you were dead.

- I am.
47

00:08:30,569 --> 00:08:32,919

Such a shallow grave

they dug for my father.

48

00:08:33,019 --> 00:08:34,919

Are you short of a

couple of shillings?

49

00:08:35,019 --> 00:08:37,319

He was buried to the depth of my love.

50

00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,219

Last years, he disgraced me.

51

00:08:41,319 --> 00:08:42,369

Disgrace?

52

00:08:43,419 --> 00:08:44,969

Hm.

53

00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:51,819


Were those Negro words

he said over the grave?

54

00:08:53,069 --> 00:08:56,119

Madness comes out through

the umbilical cord.

55

00:08:56,219 --> 00:09:00,319

The pox in Africa goes directly to

the brain via these-- these worms.

56

00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:01,919

They-- they crawl

through your veins.

57

00:09:02,019 --> 00:09:04,319

- Where is he?

- He went to piss.

58

00:09:07,719 --> 00:09:10,969

Any business with him will

be conducted in my presence.

59
00:09:11,069 --> 00:09:13,969

See, I have the advantage,

I have read the will.

60

00:09:15,369 --> 00:09:16,419

Meaning what?

61

00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:18,769

Meaning I need to piss and

need no-one to hold my cock.

62

00:09:18,869 --> 00:09:21,769

Begging the lady's pardon.

63

00:10:05,219 --> 00:10:09,619

How came you to know

that your father was dead?

64

00:10:09,719 --> 00:10:12,319

I heard he was sick

and I boarded a ship.

65

00:10:12,419 --> 00:10:16,019


Yes, he was sick from madness.

66

00:10:16,119 --> 00:10:17,669

Hear that?

67

00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:20,769

Bile and bitterness.

68

00:10:20,869 --> 00:10:24,619

Not a single tear from

anyone at the graveside.

69

00:10:29,219 --> 00:10:31,319

I didn't hear any piss at the leather.

70

00:10:31,419 --> 00:10:35,169

Perhaps you had no need, or

perhaps you came out here with--

71

00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:36,569

With a purpose?

72
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:38,269

James...

73

00:10:38,369 --> 00:10:41,969

- Who are you?

- I'm Thoyt, your father's lawyer.

74

00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:44,019

Smallpox butchered me down to the bone

75

00:10:44,119 --> 00:10:48,219

and, yes, I have other

business than pissing.

76

00:10:48,319 --> 00:10:49,569

You know, in all of London,

77

00:10:49,669 --> 00:10:51,969

only your father believed

you were still alive.

78

00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:54,219

It was a symptom of his madness.


79

00:10:54,319 --> 00:10:58,469

But he would talk to you, stand

on the north bank of the river

80

00:10:58,569 --> 00:11:01,069

and call out to you on the other side.

81

00:11:01,169 --> 00:11:03,519

Yes, I know, I heard him calling.

82

00:11:05,019 --> 00:11:06,269

I'll speak plainly.

83

00:11:06,369 --> 00:11:08,919

Your father drew up a will

of which I am executor.

84

00:11:09,019 --> 00:11:10,919

In it, you are his only heir.

85

00:11:11,019 --> 00:11:15,519


But, James, if you came home

expecting fortune, there is none.

86

00:11:15,619 --> 00:11:18,219

The only legacy is a poisoned chalice.

87

00:11:19,819 --> 00:11:22,469

Talk to me of poison.

88

00:11:24,169 --> 00:11:27,919

Well, it's a small...

strip of coastline,

89

00:11:28,019 --> 00:11:29,619

directly on the other

side of the world,

90

00:11:29,719 --> 00:11:32,719

which your father held by

treaty with the Nootka tribe.

91

00:11:32,819 --> 00:11:34,819

A wasteland.
92

00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,569

If America were a pig facing England,

93

00:11:38,669 --> 00:11:40,869

it is right at the pig's arse.

94

00:11:40,969 --> 00:11:43,519

Just rocks and Indians.

95

00:11:43,619 --> 00:11:48,569

The land in your father's

will is not only useless,

96

00:11:48,669 --> 00:11:51,469

it is dangerous to any who owns it.

97

00:11:51,569 --> 00:11:53,469

They're my rocks now.

98

00:11:55,419 --> 00:11:57,269

James...
99

00:11:57,369 --> 00:12:02,369

I can arrange the immediate

transfer of this particular asset.

100

00:12:13,219 --> 00:12:16,119

I'll send you a formal

proposition in writing.

101

00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:43,619

Good day, sir.

102

00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:46,569

These girls arriving are all whores.

103

00:12:48,019 --> 00:12:49,769

They attend the funeral of a widower

104

00:12:49,869 --> 00:12:51,719

'cause they know there'll

be lots of old men.

105
00:12:51,819 --> 00:12:54,169

And that animal from Africa

106

00:12:54,269 --> 00:12:56,469

is here to pick at an

old man's bones, too.

107

00:12:56,569 --> 00:12:59,569

Perhaps we should let

Thoyt deal with the matter.

108

00:13:01,269 --> 00:13:02,969

Let's call our carriage.

109

00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:21,869

One thing Africa did not cure...

110

00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:24,269

is that I still love you.

111

00:13:30,169 --> 00:13:35,119

And if you are ever

short of two shillings,


112

00:13:35,219 --> 00:13:36,919

please do not hesitate to ask,

113

00:13:37,019 --> 00:13:39,869

as Africa also served

me incredibly well.

114

00:13:42,419 --> 00:13:46,719

Well, then you will have no

need for legacies now, will you?

115

00:13:46,819 --> 00:13:48,369

We were just leaving.

116

00:13:51,369 --> 00:13:52,519

Hm.

117

00:14:30,619 --> 00:14:33,319

So, gentlemen, let's begin.

118

00:14:33,419 --> 00:14:36,519


A clerk will record

every word that's said,

119

00:14:36,619 --> 00:14:39,369

except when a fellow raises his hand.

120

00:14:39,469 --> 00:14:44,469

Words from a raised hand will not...

121

00:14:44,569 --> 00:14:46,319

enter the record.

122

00:14:47,419 --> 00:14:52,119

Now, the issue today

is old man Delaney.

123

00:14:52,219 --> 00:14:55,319

May he rot in hell.

124

00:14:55,419 --> 00:14:59,169

The death of that mad

old bastard was welcome


125

00:14:59,269 --> 00:15:01,319

and, as we thought at the time,

126

00:15:01,419 --> 00:15:05,319

beneficial for the

honourable East India.

127

00:15:05,419 --> 00:15:07,919

But things have changed.

128

00:15:09,369 --> 00:15:12,119

Mr. Thoyt, welcome.

129

00:15:12,219 --> 00:15:14,169

Give us the bad news.

130

00:15:14,269 --> 00:15:19,519

As the late Mr. Delaney's lawyer,

I attended the funeral,

131

00:15:19,619 --> 00:15:21,569

and a ghost appeared--


132

00:15:21,669 --> 00:15:24,919

a son we all thought dead in Africa.

133

00:15:25,019 --> 00:15:27,219

James Keziah Delaney.

134

00:15:29,969 --> 00:15:32,819

Mr. Wilton, I asked

you to do some digging.

135

00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:36,969

Which I have done, sir, and

most entertaining it has been.

136

00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:40,419

In temperament, he takes

after his mad mother.

137

00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,419

She was committed as

a resident of Bedlam.
138

00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:44,469

Just stick to what

we know about the boy.

139

00:15:44,569 --> 00:15:46,569

So, at the age of 11,

140

00:15:46,669 --> 00:15:48,919

his exhausted father and

new bride put his son in

141

00:15:49,019 --> 00:15:52,569

as a cadet at the East India Company

military seminary in Woolwich,

142

00:15:52,669 --> 00:15:54,969

the year of our Lord 1798.

143

00:15:55,069 --> 00:15:59,119

Delaney's son was a... company boy?

144

00:15:59,219 --> 00:16:02,819


And, Sir Stuart, odd to relate,

145

00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:05,519

the records show he was

once in your own regiment.

146

00:16:05,619 --> 00:16:07,069

Well...

147

00:16:07,169 --> 00:16:10,819

I commanded so many of the

little bastards, I forget.

148

00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:13,819

There is a copy of his attendance

record and the year-end report.

149

00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,019

Yeah, year end record too.

150

00:16:16,119 --> 00:16:17,869

My God!
151

00:16:17,969 --> 00:16:21,119

Corporal James Keziah Delaney.

152

00:16:21,219 --> 00:16:24,469

"Exceptional.

Exceptional. Exceptional.

153

00:16:24,569 --> 00:16:28,369

Musket, shipcraft,

leadership. Exceptional."

154

00:16:28,469 --> 00:16:32,569

But, sir, then along came

the year of our Lord 1800.

155

00:16:32,669 --> 00:16:34,319

Exceptional in different ways.

156

00:16:34,419 --> 00:16:37,569

I would guess that confidence

allowed his true savage nature

157
00:16:37,669 --> 00:16:39,369

and mother's madness to emerge.

158

00:16:39,469 --> 00:16:41,769

The necks he broke always

belonged to officers.

159

00:16:41,869 --> 00:16:43,919

And then there is the setting ablaze

160

00:16:44,019 --> 00:16:46,319

of a Navy boat in an

experiment with oil

161

00:16:46,419 --> 00:16:48,819

and mashed potatoes while drunk.

162

00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:51,469

And a fight with a

bear in Chancery Lane,

163

00:16:51,569 --> 00:16:56,119

a rebellion against the cooks


for bad custard, started by him,

164

00:16:56,219 --> 00:16:59,519

and he raved about fortunes

and hidden treasures.

165

00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:02,569

He tried to recruit other boys

to go down the river to India,

166

00:17:02,669 --> 00:17:06,119

to trade with Red Indians,

to take gold from the Aztecs.

167

00:17:06,219 --> 00:17:10,469

And more necks, more whores

and more custard. And finally...

168

00:17:10,569 --> 00:17:12,919

I am almost exhausted

in the telling of it.

169

00:17:13,019 --> 00:17:16,469


Finally, in the year of our Lord 1802,

170

00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:19,119

he took himself off to Africa.

171

00:17:21,419 --> 00:17:24,319

Well, now he is returned.

172

00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:28,219

And Delaney's will

leaves him everything.

173

00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,919

Including Nootka.

174

00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:35,569

Do we have a copy of the

Nootka Sound treaty yet?

175

00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:39,969

Where perhaps our lawyers

could pick it apart?


176

00:17:40,069 --> 00:17:43,519

It's yet to surface,

Sir Stuart. And...

177

00:17:43,619 --> 00:17:46,819

I believe only the original exists.

178

00:17:48,019 --> 00:17:53,819

So, our lengthy negotiations

with the daughter were in vain.

179

00:18:00,369 --> 00:18:05,519

If the will has not been read

and Nootka is so strategic to us,

180

00:18:05,619 --> 00:18:07,819

why don't we just... burn it?

181

00:18:09,069 --> 00:18:10,519

Even if I did,

182

00:18:10,619 --> 00:18:15,069


the son would have natural

priority over the daughter,

183

00:18:15,169 --> 00:18:18,169

according to God's law.

184

00:18:18,269 --> 00:18:22,869

And his return was

purposely in a public way.

185

00:18:22,969 --> 00:18:26,519

Hardly the action of a savage.

186

00:18:26,619 --> 00:18:29,869

Thank you, Mr. Thoyt,

you may leave us.

187

00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:44,069

Mr. Pettifer, I hope the report

from the Africa desk is as thorough

188

00:18:44,169 --> 00:18:47,569

as the one from Mr. Wilton


in the records office.

189

00:18:50,419 --> 00:18:52,419

According to charter records,

190

00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,919

he went to Cabinda aboard

a ship called Cornwallis,

191

00:18:56,019 --> 00:19:00,219

then boarded a ship called the

Influence, bound for Antigua.

192

00:19:01,269 --> 00:19:02,819

It was a slave ship.

193

00:19:02,919 --> 00:19:06,269

It sank off the Gold Coast,

194

00:19:06,369 --> 00:19:08,919

and it was assumed Delaney was dead.

195
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:12,219

Then the rumours began.

196

00:19:14,819 --> 00:19:19,469

There have been rumours about James

Keziah Delaney these past ten years

197

00:19:19,569 --> 00:19:24,719

but in the file I have

put only the facts, sir,

198

00:19:24,819 --> 00:19:26,169

not the rumours.

199

00:19:28,569 --> 00:19:30,119

What are the rumours?

200

00:19:30,219 --> 00:19:36,069

Awful, and unnatural,

and, I'm sure, untrue.

201

00:19:37,819 --> 00:19:41,469

What fucking rumours?


202

00:21:00,819 --> 00:21:02,119

Right.

203

00:21:30,619 --> 00:21:33,219

Who's there? This pistol is loaded.

204

00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:39,419

My God.

205

00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:44,019

Perhaps by ship and by

carriage. Hm? Come here.

206

00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,019

Ah!

207

00:21:47,369 --> 00:21:51,019

Where's your propriety, Brace?

Servant and master? Get off me.

208

00:21:52,719 --> 00:21:54,369


- Begging your pardon, sir.

- What, why?

209

00:21:54,469 --> 00:21:57,219

Begging your pardon, but what

the hell are you doing here?

210

00:21:57,319 --> 00:21:59,019

Oh, no, there will

be no pardon for you

211

00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,369

because you are the

captain of the mutineers.

212

00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:07,019

And you will hang. For

being a pirate, you vagabond!

213

00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,319

How's the leg?

214

00:22:08,419 --> 00:22:13,319


I broke my left knee swinging

from a tree, being an ape for you.

215

00:22:14,619 --> 00:22:16,269

- You needed a brother.

- Still do.

216

00:22:17,869 --> 00:22:21,769

But a broken down, bent, buckled old

butler will have to be sufficient.

217

00:22:21,869 --> 00:22:23,419

You look the same.

218

00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:26,469

I'm not.

219

00:22:30,019 --> 00:22:32,969

Not tea, brandy.

220

00:22:35,269 --> 00:22:37,319

Two glasses.
221

00:22:37,419 --> 00:22:38,469

Sir?

222

00:22:38,569 --> 00:22:40,019

Fetch two glasses.

223

00:22:41,019 --> 00:22:44,669

They should have invited you.

To the wake, at least.

224

00:22:44,769 --> 00:22:47,919

Serving stew in the backroom,

to hell with that.

225

00:22:48,019 --> 00:22:51,919

In all of this dirty city,

there is no-one that I can trust,

226

00:22:52,019 --> 00:22:53,119

do you understand?

227

00:22:53,219 --> 00:22:55,019


Apart from you.

228

00:23:06,269 --> 00:23:07,319

Ah!

229

00:23:08,719 --> 00:23:12,469

You can spare me the old

maiden splutter, Brace.

230

00:23:12,569 --> 00:23:14,219

I know that you polish

off at least half a bottle

231

00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:17,269

of Delaney Company

Brandy every night.

232

00:23:17,369 --> 00:23:18,719

Hm?

233

00:23:26,419 --> 00:23:27,619

James...
234

00:23:29,369 --> 00:23:31,769

You could have written

to your father just once.

235

00:23:31,869 --> 00:23:34,469

In the end, he was calling for you.

236

00:23:34,569 --> 00:23:35,669

I know.

237

00:23:37,269 --> 00:23:40,719

I'd say, "Come on, come in.

238

00:23:40,819 --> 00:23:43,119

Before the tide gets your shoes."

239

00:23:43,219 --> 00:23:46,469

And he would light

these fires on the shore,

240

00:23:46,569 --> 00:23:48,819

call out your name and talk to you.


241

00:23:50,919 --> 00:23:52,819

Is that grief, James?

242

00:23:54,019 --> 00:23:55,319

Is what grief?

243

00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:04,019

And all the while, these gulls

hovered around picking at him.

244

00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,919

Gulls only come if there is meat.

245

00:24:07,019 --> 00:24:09,619

Oh, aye, meat there was.

246

00:24:10,769 --> 00:24:13,369

Men of affairs, they call themselves.

247

00:24:13,469 --> 00:24:16,119

Don't you want to know what


it is they wanted, these gulls?

248

00:24:16,219 --> 00:24:17,819

I know already.

249

00:24:18,619 --> 00:24:20,669

I doubt that.

250

00:24:22,619 --> 00:24:26,169

A base of land called Nootka Sound.

251

00:24:27,869 --> 00:24:29,869

Nootka was my mother's tribe.

252

00:24:31,619 --> 00:24:33,869

No. No, no, James.

253

00:24:33,969 --> 00:24:36,719

Your mother came from Naples.

254

00:24:36,819 --> 00:24:40,219

He bought some land


and he bought a wife.

255

00:24:41,569 --> 00:24:44,019

And he bought them both for gunpowder.

256

00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:51,069

He told me never to speak

to you of buying her.

257

00:24:52,419 --> 00:24:54,269

And yet he told me everything.

258

00:24:56,019 --> 00:24:57,269

When?

259

00:24:57,369 --> 00:24:59,419

When he lit his fires

on the foreshore.

260

00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:07,069

Nothing you could tell me about

that man would surprise me.


261

00:25:07,169 --> 00:25:11,919

He was half human at the end

and he would squat right here and

262

00:25:12,019 --> 00:25:15,519

make deals with ghosts in the flames.

263

00:25:16,719 --> 00:25:18,819

And he would speak in a

language that was like...

264

00:25:18,919 --> 00:25:21,019

It was like ravens fighting.

265

00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,319

And he would talk to you, James.

266

00:25:29,419 --> 00:25:30,869

And he would talk to Anna.

267

00:25:33,069 --> 00:25:34,119

Salish.
268

00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,669

My mother's name was Salish.

269

00:25:44,019 --> 00:25:47,519

You know things only he and I knew.

270

00:25:47,619 --> 00:25:49,169

Yeah.

271

00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:54,869

And it's best we never talk

of her when we've had brandy.

272

00:26:00,419 --> 00:26:03,269

See, when you live alone

with a madman, you--

273

00:26:03,369 --> 00:26:05,519

You become half mad yourself.

274

00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:11,169


But here's the thing, James.

This Nootka Sound is a curse.

275

00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:15,219

It will bring the King and

Empire down upon your head.

276

00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:18,019

Please don't talk to

me of sense, Brace,

277

00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,319

because if it is you,

I might believe it.

278

00:26:24,419 --> 00:26:28,669

And I have sworn to

do very foolish things.

279

00:27:56,419 --> 00:28:00,069

If you're looking for money,

those accounts are ten years old.

280
00:28:03,819 --> 00:28:07,119

Where are my father's

inventories and his shipping logs?

281

00:28:09,219 --> 00:28:10,369

He burnt them all.

282

00:28:12,169 --> 00:28:15,469

The only reason these accounts

survived was because I hid them

283

00:28:15,569 --> 00:28:17,369

in case the taxman came knocking.

284

00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,069

That was delivered at 6 AM this morning

285

00:28:21,169 --> 00:28:23,769

by a servant of Mr. Robert Thoyt.

286

00:28:25,469 --> 00:28:28,319

Thoyt has been trying to buy

the Delaney Shipping Company


287

00:28:28,419 --> 00:28:30,169

from your father for three years.

288

00:28:30,269 --> 00:28:32,319

Each time, your da

would go into the street,

289

00:28:32,419 --> 00:28:35,919

scoop up some horse shite and

package it up by way of reply.

290

00:28:38,919 --> 00:28:43,919

I imagine the envelope

contains a financial offer.

291

00:28:44,019 --> 00:28:47,169

I imagine it does. Do you

have any horse shit on you?

292

00:28:52,669 --> 00:28:57,019

Listen, the accounts told me that

we have a leasehold of 50 years


293

00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:00,269

on the offices in West India

docks, 32 years left to run.

294

00:29:01,419 --> 00:29:04,719

Your father hadnae been up

there in eight years, sir.

295

00:29:04,819 --> 00:29:06,519

They're all locked up.

296

00:29:06,619 --> 00:29:08,119

Then I will need the key.

297

00:30:06,469 --> 00:30:07,769

Oi!

298

00:30:07,869 --> 00:30:09,969

What are you doing with the door?

299

00:30:10,069 --> 00:30:12,819


You want a bush, you come through me.

300

00:30:12,919 --> 00:30:14,569

That is private property.

301

00:30:14,669 --> 00:30:18,319

Helga, it's so good to see

that you're still working--

302

00:30:18,419 --> 00:30:19,919

even still alive.

303

00:30:20,019 --> 00:30:22,519

You know that I lay with you

when I was just a little boy.

304

00:30:22,619 --> 00:30:24,169

Where did you get the key?

305

00:30:24,269 --> 00:30:27,019

This key? This is my father's key.

306
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,319

Horace Delaney. Mmm?

307

00:30:32,019 --> 00:30:33,719

Shit.

308

00:30:33,819 --> 00:30:35,069

Yes, shit.

309

00:30:36,219 --> 00:30:38,519

Your father stopped

coming. It was empty.

310

00:30:38,619 --> 00:30:41,569

It was wasted, so close to the docks.

311

00:30:44,819 --> 00:30:46,219

You want tea?

312

00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:47,419

No.

313
00:30:49,719 --> 00:30:51,069

Do you want to fuck?

314

00:30:51,169 --> 00:30:53,769

- No, I want my family offices back.

- Oh, God.

315

00:30:56,419 --> 00:30:57,819

How much do you make here?

316

00:31:01,019 --> 00:31:04,819

With the workers in the yard and

the boats that moor at the wharf...

317

00:31:05,819 --> 00:31:07,469

we make ã10 a day.

318

00:31:07,569 --> 00:31:10,669

I can give you five

and whatever you like.

319

00:31:10,769 --> 00:31:13,969

Boys, girls, suck, fuck...


320

00:31:15,419 --> 00:31:18,119

You have two hours to get out.

321

00:31:18,219 --> 00:31:19,719

You say I took your cherry.

322

00:31:21,819 --> 00:31:22,969

Mm-hmm.

323

00:31:26,869 --> 00:31:28,919

Where have you been, little boy?

324

00:31:29,019 --> 00:31:30,869

- I have been in the world.

- Oh.

325

00:31:33,419 --> 00:31:36,919

I have girls, but I also have men.

326

00:31:38,769 --> 00:31:40,319

They're not very good men.


327

00:31:40,419 --> 00:31:41,819

- You understand?

- Mm-hmm.

328

00:31:43,469 --> 00:31:45,219

They have rocks for hearts.

329

00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:47,619

They have knives and ropes.

330

00:31:47,719 --> 00:31:49,169

If you have any sense...

331

00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,619

People who do not know

me soon come to understand

332

00:31:56,719 --> 00:31:58,419

that I do not have any sense.

333

00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:02,419


Now, please do not

misunderstand the situation.

334

00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:03,619

You send me 12 men,

335

00:32:03,719 --> 00:32:06,969

I will return you 12 sets

of testicles in a bag,

336

00:32:07,069 --> 00:32:10,119

and we can watch your little

whores devour them together,

337

00:32:10,219 --> 00:32:14,269

before I chop off your

trotters and boil them.

338

00:32:19,169 --> 00:32:20,219

Two hours.

339

00:32:21,719 --> 00:32:23,069

You...
340

00:32:23,169 --> 00:32:25,169

I remember you.

341

00:32:25,269 --> 00:32:28,019

I remember you. Heard the stories.

342

00:32:30,219 --> 00:32:32,819

If I give you a girl, I

will never see her again.

343

00:32:34,469 --> 00:32:35,669

You heard right.

344

00:32:37,069 --> 00:32:38,419

Be punctual.

345

00:32:57,719 --> 00:33:01,069

- They've brought the carriage up.

- Yes. I'm coming.

346

00:33:23,069 --> 00:33:25,519


You're not imploring him

to relinquish his deed,

347

00:33:25,619 --> 00:33:27,569

you're insisting that,

for his own welfare,

348

00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:29,619

he submit his claim to you.

349

00:33:31,369 --> 00:33:35,219

Implore is a more feminine word.

350

00:33:37,619 --> 00:33:39,519

And why must you be a woman to him?

351

00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:47,169

The offer of ã50 should be

conditional on him leaving England.

352

00:33:47,269 --> 00:33:49,019

Why?
353

00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:52,219

Because if he does not leave

England, I will kill him.

354

00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:53,619

Why?

355

00:33:59,869 --> 00:34:01,519

That is a very good question.

356

00:34:04,719 --> 00:34:08,369

Why would I feel that way about

him, after meeting him only once?

357

00:34:10,319 --> 00:34:13,169

The son of the same father

as the woman I love...

358

00:34:16,819 --> 00:34:19,319

Why does a soldier know

that a nigger bowing low

359
00:34:19,419 --> 00:34:22,019

has a dagger in his shoe

and is reaching for it?

360

00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:29,119

Delaney is nothing

more than a nigger now.

361

00:34:29,219 --> 00:34:30,619

You know that, don't you?

362

00:34:33,819 --> 00:34:37,519

I have talked with seasoned

merchants who could barely

363

00:34:37,619 --> 00:34:39,969

bring themselves to

repeat these stories.

364

00:34:43,269 --> 00:34:44,619

Among Christian soldiers,

365

00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,219


it's customary to bury the

bodies of your fallen enemy

366

00:34:49,319 --> 00:34:53,719

and shoo away the dogs and

crows that come for the carrion.

367

00:34:56,569 --> 00:34:58,419

Not kneel down beside them.

368

00:35:11,769 --> 00:35:13,819

Try again,

369

00:35:13,919 --> 00:35:17,319

this time reflecting the

disgust you naturally feel

370

00:35:17,419 --> 00:35:18,919

now you know the truth.

371

00:35:27,869 --> 00:35:29,019

Hmm?
372

00:35:45,219 --> 00:35:48,969

The dogs here live off

the flesh from suicides

373

00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:51,019

jumping off Blackfriars Bridge.

374

00:35:52,219 --> 00:35:55,219

Never known one go

tamely to a man's hand.

375

00:35:56,669 --> 00:35:59,469

Must be some witchcraft

you picked up somewhere.

376

00:36:03,069 --> 00:36:04,369

What do you want?

377

00:36:06,319 --> 00:36:10,369

You think your father's

kid feeds himself.

378
00:36:10,469 --> 00:36:13,519

I heard you done a

lot of evil over there.

379

00:36:13,619 --> 00:36:17,319

Now it's time for you to do some

bleeding good among your own.

380

00:36:17,419 --> 00:36:22,319

Me and my wife have looked

after that boy for ten years

381

00:36:22,419 --> 00:36:25,769

with not one penny from

you and nothing but threats

382

00:36:25,869 --> 00:36:28,919

from the mad old bastard

you just put in the ground.

383

00:36:29,019 --> 00:36:32,169

Now you're back, I want payment.

384
00:36:32,269 --> 00:36:36,819

If it wasn't for us, that kid

would be sucking cocks in St. Giles.

385

00:36:42,219 --> 00:36:44,719

Mr. Ibbotson, I've been

meaning to pay you a visit.

386

00:36:44,819 --> 00:36:46,069

Bullshit.

387

00:36:46,169 --> 00:36:50,119

You're a liar just like your

father. You're a Delaney.

388

00:36:50,219 --> 00:36:52,069

Tell you what...

389

00:36:52,169 --> 00:36:54,469

You get me an address,

390

00:36:54,569 --> 00:36:57,819

and I will get you payment in


the form of a banker's draft.

391

00:36:59,169 --> 00:37:00,869

- How much?

- Enough.

392

00:37:04,669 --> 00:37:06,019

Good day.

393

00:37:08,819 --> 00:37:11,569

You don't even ask how

your own blood fares.

394

00:38:04,869 --> 00:38:09,369

If you don't approve of me

steadying my nerves with Madeira,

395

00:38:09,469 --> 00:38:11,469

then perhaps you should

consult the directory of

396

00:38:11,569 --> 00:38:14,519

the Royal College of Physicians,


see you know many others of them

397

00:38:14,619 --> 00:38:16,719

will agree to carry

out this kind of work.

398

00:38:16,819 --> 00:38:20,719

I intend to mix the contents of

his stomach with potassium oxide,

399

00:38:20,819 --> 00:38:23,369

calcium oxide and nitric acid.

400

00:38:27,819 --> 00:38:31,419

I'll know in 20 minutes. Come

back when the church bell chimes.

401

00:38:57,419 --> 00:38:59,519

You did this.

402

00:38:59,619 --> 00:39:01,319

- You will pay for this.

- No.
403

00:39:10,669 --> 00:39:14,169

No, because I have no

fear to feed you with.

404

00:39:16,169 --> 00:39:18,719

No fear to give you

and I will prove it.

405

00:39:18,819 --> 00:39:23,919

Sing for me like you once did

as the river caught your tongue.

406

00:39:24,019 --> 00:39:26,569

<i>Ee neem sea wo ha ha.</i>

407

00:39:26,669 --> 00:39:27,819

Suicide.

408

00:39:30,019 --> 00:39:32,369

That will teach you

not to steal, won't it?


409

00:39:34,019 --> 00:39:36,419

<i>Ee neem sea wo ha ha.</i>

410

00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:38,819

<i>Ee neem sea wo ha.</i>

411

00:39:42,169 --> 00:39:44,919

You're not here. You are not here.

412

00:39:45,019 --> 00:39:48,319

I have no fear for you and

I have no guilt for you.

413

00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:56,719

I did as others did

and as others had me do,

414

00:39:56,819 --> 00:39:58,569

and we are all owned,

415

00:39:58,669 --> 00:40:00,769

and we have all owned others...


416

00:40:03,669 --> 00:40:07,219

so don't you dare stand

there and judge me.

417

00:40:10,219 --> 00:40:13,869

Today, I have work to do.

418

00:40:40,769 --> 00:40:45,219

The horizontal chamber contains

the gas from the stomach contents.

419

00:40:49,269 --> 00:40:50,319

Now...

420

00:40:51,669 --> 00:40:53,069

the moment of truth.

421

00:41:01,519 --> 00:41:07,069

As you see, the flame has formed

a reflective surface on the glass,

422
00:41:07,169 --> 00:41:09,169

what is known as an arsenic mirror.

423

00:41:11,419 --> 00:41:13,169

Your father was poisoned.

424

00:41:15,819 --> 00:41:18,169

From the density of the mirror,

425

00:41:18,269 --> 00:41:22,219

I would say heavy doses

over a short period,

426

00:41:22,319 --> 00:41:26,519

and, yes, it would have affected

his mind in the later stages.

427

00:41:29,819 --> 00:41:31,469

You want him reburied?

428

00:41:31,569 --> 00:41:34,869

Yes, and sewn back up into one piece.


429

00:41:34,969 --> 00:41:37,769

I would recommend they

dig a bit deeper this time.

430

00:41:40,219 --> 00:41:42,819

If this body is used

for any other purpose,

431

00:41:42,919 --> 00:41:45,619

I will find you and I will kill you.

432

00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,119

You tell every member

of your profession...

433

00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:52,219

I know things about the dead.

434

00:41:55,019 --> 00:41:56,869

And I will know.

435

00:41:56,969 --> 00:42:00,719


Do you want any words said

over him when we put him back?

436

00:42:00,819 --> 00:42:02,219

No-one is listening.

437

00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:44,419

He's meeting with the East India.

438

00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:50,369

Apparently, they're happy

to deal with the devil

439

00:42:50,469 --> 00:42:51,869

and leave us penniless.

440

00:42:54,219 --> 00:42:56,469

The letter, it seemed, did no good.

441

00:42:56,569 --> 00:42:58,669

He was never one to be told.

442
00:43:00,619 --> 00:43:05,219

Well, we have legal rights, and

it's time that savage was made aware.

443

00:43:05,319 --> 00:43:08,119

- I know he's your brother but...

- Half-brother.

444

00:43:11,419 --> 00:43:13,219

he leaves me no choice.

445

00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:26,719

- I'm going out.

- Good.

446

00:43:26,819 --> 00:43:30,169

I'm tired of these empty threats

you keep bandying around.

447

00:43:33,819 --> 00:43:34,919

Empty?

448

00:43:37,019 --> 00:43:39,119


I'm your husband and you are my wife.

449

00:43:40,819 --> 00:43:44,369

And I will protect our interests

by whatever means necessary.

450

00:43:46,019 --> 00:43:47,719

And as for him,

451

00:43:47,819 --> 00:43:50,169

well, he should have

stayed where he belongs,

452

00:43:50,269 --> 00:43:53,869

in the jungle, dancing

naked and screwing wild pigs,

453

00:43:53,969 --> 00:43:55,769

and his slaves in their chains.

454

00:43:59,769 --> 00:44:01,819

He will leave soon.


455

00:44:01,919 --> 00:44:04,569

You're quite right, he

doesn't belong in this world.

456

00:44:43,969 --> 00:44:46,119

I decided to bring it in person.

457

00:44:51,419 --> 00:44:56,619

Now, this is for the past,

the present and the future.

458

00:45:03,469 --> 00:45:04,769

Take me to the boy.

459

00:45:06,169 --> 00:45:07,919

I want to see if you're

lying to me or not.

460

00:45:08,019 --> 00:45:09,969

Yes, sir, Mr. Delaney.

461

00:45:21,769 --> 00:45:23,519


Do you want to talk with him?

462

00:45:23,619 --> 00:45:27,169

No, I'm not a fit man

to be around children.

463

00:45:32,019 --> 00:45:35,569

Fate can be hard, so you put

money aside for his future in case

464

00:45:35,669 --> 00:45:40,069

he grows up to be rash, like me.

465

00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:43,819

Will you wish to see him again?

466

00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,369

No. Not ever.

467

00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,419

John Pettifer, East India

Company, Africa desk.


468

00:46:52,419 --> 00:46:54,069

James Delaney.

469

00:46:54,169 --> 00:46:56,469

Benjamin Wilton, records,

470

00:46:56,569 --> 00:46:59,519

Abraham Appleby, our

delegate from Christ,

471

00:46:59,619 --> 00:47:02,419

and this is Sir Stuart Strange,

472

00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:05,369

Chairman of the Honourable

East India Company

473

00:47:05,469 --> 00:47:08,119

across the surface

of the entire Earth.

474

00:47:10,469 --> 00:47:12,019


You don't remember me.

475

00:47:14,169 --> 00:47:15,819

One remembers those one looks up to

476

00:47:15,919 --> 00:47:18,569

more readily than those

you look down upon.

477

00:47:18,669 --> 00:47:20,219

I believe you were a cadet.

478

00:47:20,319 --> 00:47:22,169

Yes, you were my commander.

479

00:47:22,269 --> 00:47:27,869

Oh, well, blame brandy

and old age, hmm?

480

00:47:27,969 --> 00:47:29,619

Please, sit.

481
00:47:39,069 --> 00:47:41,219

- Brandy?

- No.

482

00:47:43,319 --> 00:47:45,819

To begin, may I offer our sincere...?

483

00:47:45,919 --> 00:47:49,969

Please understand--

hypocrisy I hate most.

484

00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,219

- Indeed. Let us not pretend--

- No, do not pretend.

485

00:47:56,669 --> 00:48:00,719

I wonder if Mr. Appleby might

be allowed to finish a sentence?

486

00:48:03,219 --> 00:48:04,869

We are told that in

your father's will,

487
00:48:04,969 --> 00:48:09,869

you were bequeathed a piece of

territory which lies just here.

488

00:48:11,219 --> 00:48:12,219

Mm-hmm.

489

00:48:14,019 --> 00:48:17,319

As you will see, the small piece

of land your father bought off

490

00:48:17,419 --> 00:48:21,769

the Indians is now by virtue of

geography a point of contention

491

00:48:21,869 --> 00:48:25,919

between His Majesty's Government

and the cursed United States.

492

00:48:30,819 --> 00:48:32,319

So...

493

00:48:35,169 --> 00:48:36,319


Hmm?

494

00:48:36,419 --> 00:48:40,069

Ah, Mr. Delaney, you've been

in Africa for a number of years,

495

00:48:40,169 --> 00:48:44,219

so you may be unaware that

Britain and the United States

496

00:48:44,319 --> 00:48:46,469

are currently at war.

497

00:48:46,569 --> 00:48:47,919

I know.

498

00:48:48,019 --> 00:48:51,269

Ah, well, you will understand,

then, that private ownership of

499

00:48:51,369 --> 00:48:54,319

the Nootka Sound landing

ground represents an opportunity


500

00:48:54,419 --> 00:48:56,569

for our enemies who

dispute its sovereignty

501

00:48:56,669 --> 00:48:59,919

when the time comes

to draw the border.

502

00:49:00,019 --> 00:49:01,419

I know.

503

00:49:02,919 --> 00:49:04,819

Yes, I know. I also know...

504

00:49:04,919 --> 00:49:07,469

that the British and

American Government

505

00:49:07,569 --> 00:49:10,469

are preparing to begin their

secret peace talks in Ghent,


506

00:49:10,569 --> 00:49:11,919

aren't they?

507

00:49:12,019 --> 00:49:17,119

And negotiators are

preparing depositions to draw

508

00:49:17,219 --> 00:49:20,869

the Canadian-American border for

when the current hostilities end.

509

00:49:20,969 --> 00:49:23,719

And because of the strategical

position of Nootka Sound,

510

00:49:23,819 --> 00:49:26,419

whoever owns it has legal entitlement

511

00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:29,919

to the entire island of Vancouver,

512

00:49:30,019 --> 00:49:31,169


which is...

513

00:49:32,419 --> 00:49:34,319

Well, which is the gateway to...

514

00:49:35,819 --> 00:49:36,869

to China.

515

00:49:39,619 --> 00:49:40,669

Hmm?

516

00:49:43,819 --> 00:49:46,119

So this...

517

00:49:47,269 --> 00:49:50,919

This small piece of

land that my father...

518

00:49:51,019 --> 00:49:53,319

bought for beads,

519

00:49:53,419 --> 00:49:55,519


bless him, and gunpowder,

520

00:49:55,619 --> 00:49:57,869

some 30 years ago,

521

00:49:57,969 --> 00:50:02,319

actually will be very,

very valuable to the Crown

522

00:50:02,419 --> 00:50:04,919

and to the East India,

523

00:50:05,019 --> 00:50:08,719

but also incredibly

valuable to the Americans.

524

00:50:08,819 --> 00:50:12,319

Mr. Delaney, as a British subject,

525

00:50:12,419 --> 00:50:16,219

you owe a debt of loyalty

to your King and country.


526

00:50:18,969 --> 00:50:21,519

If patriotism is not

in your motivation,

527

00:50:21,619 --> 00:50:23,819

perhaps money can be.

528

00:50:25,619 --> 00:50:27,819

Before your unexpected return,

529

00:50:27,919 --> 00:50:31,019

we had agreed a figure

with your half-sister.

530

00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:33,869

Her husband drove a

particularly hard bargain.

531

00:50:34,919 --> 00:50:37,819

I'm sorry, no. Nootka

Sound is not for sale.

532
00:50:39,369 --> 00:50:40,469

Open the envelope.

533

00:50:42,069 --> 00:50:43,119

Are you deaf?

534

00:50:44,169 --> 00:50:46,719

- Oh, Mr. Delaney...

- Mr. Delaney, perhaps...

535

00:50:46,819 --> 00:50:49,969

The Leviathan of the Seas, is it?

536

00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:52,069

The terrible shadow?

537

00:50:53,319 --> 00:50:57,619

The beast with a million

eyes and a million ears?

538

00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:58,819

Conquest?
539

00:50:59,869 --> 00:51:01,069

Rape?

540

00:51:02,219 --> 00:51:03,369

Plunder?

541

00:51:04,819 --> 00:51:07,019

I studied your methods in your school.

542

00:51:08,819 --> 00:51:14,419

And I do know the evil that you

do because I was once part of it.

543

00:51:25,269 --> 00:51:27,569

- Are you sure you won't take a brandy?

- Yes.

544

00:51:27,669 --> 00:51:30,719

Please take a moment to consider

the consequences of your refusal...

545

00:51:30,819 --> 00:51:34,269


What consequences? What consequences?

546

00:51:34,369 --> 00:51:35,869

Perhaps we should adjourn.

547

00:51:35,969 --> 00:51:37,019

Mr. Delaney...

548

00:51:38,419 --> 00:51:41,519

I'll give you one

last chance to behave

549

00:51:41,619 --> 00:51:46,419

like a loyal subject of His Majesty

and the lawful crown of England.

550

00:51:47,869 --> 00:51:50,769

Sell this land for a reasonable price.

551

00:51:58,619 --> 00:52:00,069

Hmm...

552
00:52:02,419 --> 00:52:03,619

Please.

553

00:52:07,419 --> 00:52:12,219

The balance of your father's

mind was, well, unstable...

554

00:52:13,419 --> 00:52:15,869

but you have no such excuse.

555

00:52:15,969 --> 00:52:19,469

Now, why don't you just

open the fucking envelope?

556

00:52:24,469 --> 00:52:25,519

Mmm?

557

00:52:36,169 --> 00:52:37,269

Hmm...

558

00:52:46,419 --> 00:52:48,119

Good day.
559

00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:01,869

Well...

560

00:53:04,369 --> 00:53:08,219

The son is as unstable as the father.

561

00:53:10,219 --> 00:53:12,969

Perhaps the rumours

about him are true.

562

00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:17,419

I'd hoped to settle this

matter in a modern way,

563

00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:20,019

but that's not going to be possible.

564

00:53:24,269 --> 00:53:25,569

He's all yours.

565

00:53:42,369 --> 00:53:46,119

<i>Dear James, the letter I sent


to you this morning was written</i>

566

00:53:46,219 --> 00:53:49,919

<i>under the supervision of my husband,</i>

567

00:53:50,019 --> 00:53:52,469

<i>to whom I am happily married.</i>

568

00:53:56,969 --> 00:53:59,769

<i>It is more than ten years

since you went away,</i>

569

00:53:59,869 --> 00:54:03,069

<i>and at the time I was grateful that

you had decided to leave England,</i>

570

00:54:03,169 --> 00:54:04,719

<i>for both of our sakes.</i>

571

00:54:08,469 --> 00:54:12,119

<i>Whatever happens with this

business of inheritance,</i>
572

00:54:12,219 --> 00:54:15,569

<i>and no matter if it

results in a dispute,</i>

573

00:54:15,669 --> 00:54:21,419

<i>I hope I can trust you to keep

the secrets of the past buried,</i>

574

00:54:21,519 --> 00:54:24,219

<i>buried in a deeper grave.</i>

575

00:54:33,969 --> 00:54:36,969
