Black Sails

Tonight I will submit myself as captain of this combined crew.

I intend to lead the men in retaking the fort,

Having ended your tyranny over this place for good.

Max: She's adrift. Alone in the most terrifying way.

You know who I am?

I think you know who that is. I will protect you.

The captain of scarborough,

He offered me and nine men of my choosing full pardons

If I would aid him in the capture of a fugitive from justice.

You understand what I'm asking you to do?

Go back and watch the gold.

Keep watch on the spanish soldiers

Who are watching the gold.

Flint: Her father is a very influential man.

If I return her to him, I believe that I can win him as an ally.

Courting lord ashe and retrieving the urca gold

Are working against each other.

If you prevent any further attack on the fort,

I will bring the girl down from the hill

And deliver her to you.

You are no longer a hostage. I'm gonna get you out of here.

Abigail: I remember music...

In her home.

It was always so warm there, so lovely.

Abigail: And I remember when I would visit there

With mother and father,

How she would lean down

So her face was very near mine

- And she's smile. - (Rats squeaking)

I remember hoping I'd be so beautiful one day.

And I remember watching her talk

With my mother from across the room

And how she'd make my mother laugh.

And you're saying she's here?

Lady hamilton is on this island?

She is. She's a friend

And she wants to help rescue you from this place.

But I don't understand.

Captain vane gave me his word I'd be unharmed here.

Things have changed.

Things are changing as we speak tonight.

You are now worth more to him as part

Of a very dangerous game here on the island.

As such, he has no intention

Of returning you to your father any time soon.

Trust me. Trust mrs. Hamilton

And know that we must leave this place now.

How?

There is a network of tunnels that run beneath the fort.

And the entrance to one of them isn't far.

By the time anyone realizes you are gone,

You will be safely away from here and in the care of captain flint.

I remember lady hamilton's face.

But I know captain flint's name.

My father's mentioned it in his letters.

He says captain flint is the most wicked of the new world pirates.

That he's evil.

Promise me that my escape isn't some awful ruse

To deliver me from one madman into the hands of another.

Captain flint is a good man.

If you don't trust my word about it...

Trust hers.

Where do we go?

Shut up. Just get it done.

Billy: Where's your count?

Hard to tell.

Everyone's holding this one close.

Well, I'm hearing you're up three.

I have it as four.

- You have dobson as a nay. - Yes.

- Brewer's a nay. - Yes.

- Winslow? - Winslow?

No, he's a yea vote.

When did you ask him?

A little while ago. Why, has something happened?

He got into it with muldoon over last mess,

Said muldoon was chewing too loud or something.

Muldoon brought his mother into it.

Muldoon's in your camp, so winslow flipped as a "fuck you."

- Seriously. - (Scoffs)

- That's a good one. - Yeah.

My seamanship,

My prospects for garnering plunder,

My skill in a fight, the sound of my voice,

The sound of another man's eating.

I suppose at the end of the day,

They're all functionally equivalent.

A man casts his vote for the same reason he does anything in his life.

Why's that?

Because it feels good.

Three votes, four votes.

30 of them will change their minds

Before they raise their hands tonight.

The thing that will decide this vote

Hasn't happened yet.

You're going to convince them they'll feel better

About voting for you over him.

I think I've got a pretty strong case.

His way, a lot of them will die tonight.

My way, they won't and we'll gain the favor

Of a man who could move this place a step closer to sustainability.

Billy: Perhaps.

Though, still, his argument would seem to be the easier one.

- You think? - Sure.

"Captain flint will betray anyone to get what he wants.

Yesterday it was mr. Gates, today it was me.

Which one of you would like to be tomorrow?"

Dufresne: Captain?

They're ready.

There's only one item for consideration tonight.

Captain hornigold?

Hornigold: A man asks for your trust,

He asks and offers you things in the future.

And the brighter those things may be,

The more you must ask yourself,

"what is it they are intended to blind me to in the present?"

It's no surprise that that man

Wants to shift your attention to the future.

To the things he says he can give you.

To the hardships he can remove.

A most shining future it would have to be

For him to blind you to the cowardly

And devious acts of his past...

Theft, betrayal, lies, murder!

Hornigold: When we first elected to merge these crews...

Where the fuck have you been?

A launch landed on the beach a short while ago.

The news it brings is of the upmost importance.

More important than losing our ship to captain hornigold?

Yes.

Hornigold: ...Have been wrenched from us by men of the worst sort...

They're supposed to be watching over the gold until we arrive.

What the fuck are they doing back?

Because there's no longer any gold to watch over.

It's gone.

- Man: It's gone. - Man #2: Did he say gone?

Man #3: Did someone say gone?

The gold is gone. You hear that? It's gone!

- Man: The gold is gone! - Man #2: I don't believe it.

Man #3: Who could've taken it?

This is clean.

It is as if it never happened.

Anything tying you to yesterday's events is gone.

There will be questions, of course,

But should any find their way to you,

Know that the other girls are discussing openly downstairs

Charlotte and her lover's decision to escape together to providence.

All you need to do is say the same.

These will not fit you, but they are clean.

When you are ready, I will be downstairs

And we can discuss what comes next.

I was married to a man once.

Rotten fuck...

Raised his hands at me,

Burned me,

Shared me with his men.

I didn't know any different,

Didn't know I could do anything about it.

Even if I had,

I wouldn't have thought I had it in me.

One day, we were in a tavern.

He was hurting me.

And a man saw it.

And he walked over...

And he slit his throat.

That was jack.

I was 13.

I always thought he saved me from something.

Always been so fucking grateful.

Now I wonder...

Maybe jack took me from something

I was supposed to figure my own way out of.

Maybe he took away the chance

To get strong enough to save myself.

To grow up.

Instead, I went with him,

Did what he did,

Did what the others did.

Thought I'd become one of them.

If I'm not what I was when I was born,

And I ain't what I've become instead...

What the fuck am I?

She's going to rest for now.

I know this is the last thing you need to hear,

But me and the girls were talking.

We know what risks we face with the turns.

How to avoid them, protect against them.

- What she did to charlotte... - Don't.

That's not something we know how to protect against.

Shouldn't we be focusing on getting her out the door right now

Before it's one of us next?

Please don't be the voice of this.

If you're concerned that by removing her from this place

She could get violent with you,

There are men we can talk to

About making sure she can't hurt you.

I don't want to hear that again.

Not from you, not from the other girls, ever.

When no one in the world...

No one... no one...
