♪ MY SERVANTS ARE RASH-MINDED TYPES.

I WOULD NOT HAVE THEM DISAFFECTED BY TWISTED REPORTS OF THEIR FATE.

WHAT I WROTE IN MY WILL, YOU KEEP IT CLOSE AND SECRET TO YOUR FEVERED BROW.

DO NOT SO MUCH AS SPEAK OF MY BUSINESS TO THE AIR.

[GASPING] JAMES READ.

JAMES READ: GOOD MORNING, PEDRO.

HELP ME UNLOAD THESE TOOLS, WILL YOU?

HEY.

CAN YOU, UH, TELL ME WHAT THIS IS?

OH, THAT IS FINELY MADE.

IT'S A TIMEPIECE, PEDRO.

IT'S CALLED A POCKET DIAL.

BUT HOW CAN IT TELL THE TIME?

WELL, THERE'S A PART MISSING.

A BAND THAT TRAVELS AROUND IT.

AND THE RING ITSELF IS WARPED.

LOOK.

HEY, CAN YOU FIX IT?

I MEAN, WE SHOULD LEARN WHO IT BELONGS TO.

I KNOW WHO IT IS: THE SAME MAN HAD PIECES OF FURNITURE ON THE JETTY.

I WILL RETURN IT TO HIM.

HA!

A LUMP OF BRASS CAN NAME THE TIME?

JAMES READ, WE LIVE IN A WORLD FULL OF RIDDLES.

♪ SOUP?

THE DOCTOR SAYS YOU IN'T TO HAVE NOTHING BUT SOUP.

NO DRINK.

NO ALE.

ONLY SOUP.

HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE?

YESTERDAY.

AND THE DAY BEFORE.

AND THEM OTHER DAYS.

HOW LONG WILL I BE HERE?

THE DOCTOR SAYS UNTIL YOUR BACK IS MENDED.

HERE YOU TELL MY WIFE SHE IN'T TO COME AND SEE ME.

I REFUSE IT.

IT'S HER WHAT DROVE ME HERE-- CHEWING AT ME.

I WOULDN'T GIVE HER THE COMFORT OF HEARING MY VOICE.

SHE IN'T ASKED TO SEE YOU.

IN FACT, SHE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU.

SOUP.

♪ HE PINES FOR YOU, MISTRESS RUTTER, BUT HE DON'T LIKE TO ADMIT IT.

WHY WON'T YOU VISIT HIM WHILE HE AILS?

I'LL LET HIM DO WITHOUT HIS COMFORTS.

SEE IF IT MAKES A HUMAN OUT OF HIM.

♪ MASTER CRABTREE, I BELIEVE THIS IS YOURS, SIR.

AYE, IT WAS MINE.

NOT ANYMORE.

I LOST IT.

SEEMS A MAN MIGHT LOSE TIME.

IF YOU FOUND IT, PEDRO, THEN A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE DECLARES THAT IT IS YOURS.

BUT, SIR, IS IT NOT VALUABLE?

YOU TRULY WISH TO GIVE IT TO ME?

I HAVEN'T GIVEN IT TO YOU.

CHANCE HAS.

IF DESTINY TOUCHES YOU, PEDRO, USE IT WELL.

HMM.

MIGHT YOU BE WONDERING HOW A MAN SO INFECTED AND ABHORRED BECAME THE TRUSTED OFFICER OF THE KING?

I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS FIRST, SIR.

WHY HAVE YOU NOT CONDEMNED, NOT 'VENGED YOURSELF AGAINST ME FOR PLACING A SLEEPING DRAUGHT IN YOUR WINE?

THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE TO ME IN THAT GAMBIT.

YOU HAVE THE KING'S SIGNET.

GIVES YOU FULL RIGHT OVER THE GOVERNOR.

WHY HAVE YOU NOT CUT HIM DOWN?

TIME, MADAM.

THERE IS BUSINESS YET TO PLAY.

HE STALKS THE NEW WORLD UNCHECKED WHILE YOU DITHER.

YOUR GIFTS OF PERSUASION, WIDOW, AND THE FONDNESS THE BLACKSMITH CARRIES FOR YOU, NEEDS BENEFIT US BOTH IN THE FURTHERANCE OF THIS ISSUE.

NOW I'LL TELL YOU A TALE-- OF PIRATES AND SLAVES.

[SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] [SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] MY HUSBAND IS THE SAME TODAY AS HE WAS YESTERDAY.

AND HE'LL BE THE SAME TOMORROW.

A MAN WHO WOOS HIS OWN DESTRUCTION DOESN'T SEEM TO ME UNAFFECTED, VERITY.

SURE, A COWARD'S DEATH WOULD SUIT A RANK WEED SUCH AS HIM.

THEN HE WON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CRIMES HE'S DONE.

JUMPING FROM THE BATTLEMENTS DON'T BRING TAM BACK, NOW DO IT.

PEDRO: IT IS MINE TO KEEP, JAMES READ.

WILL YOU MAKE IT SO THAT IT WORKS?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO MARK THE HOURS AND THE DAYS, THOUGH, PEDRO?

SO I WILL BE THE BEST MAN KNOWS EACH AND EVERY MOMENT IN ALL OF VIRGINIA!

[PEDRO LAUGHS] ♪ "THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED TO DARKNESS "AND THE MOON TO BLOOD BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD COMES, "THE GREAT AND MAGNIFICENT DAY.

"IN THOSE DAYS, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT, AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY."

CHACROW, WHAT IS IT SO TOUCHES YOU?

YOU FIND IN HERE WORD OF WHAT IS TO COME?

IT SPEAKS TO US, AS I SPEAK TO YOU NOW.

THE PAMUNKEY PRIESTS MADE SUCH... [SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] [SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] [SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] FORETELLING.

FORETELLING.

FORETELLING.

WAHUNSENCAH, OPITCHIPAM, OPECHANCANOUGH WERE WARNED THAT A PEOPLE WOULD COME INTO THE LAND OF OUR KING FROM THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER... AND BURN FROM THE WORLD OUR BLOODLINE.

[DOOR OPENS] VERITY: AH!

AH!

WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE YOU'RE GOING TO?

HELP ME UP, VERITY.

YOU HAVE NO STRENGTH IN YOUR LEGS.

THERE'S NO BREATH IN YOUR CHEST.

I MUST SPEAK.

I MUST CALL UPON PEDRO AND MARIA.

HELP ME.

LET ME TAKE A MESSAGE TO THEM FOR YOU.

NO!

THIS BUSINESS CANNOT BE HALF-DONE.

IT MUST HAVE MY NAME ALONE TO IT.

[GRUNTING] [CLANKING] [CHAINS RATTLING] [CLANKING STOPS] DO YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THEM?

IT MERELY PASSED THROUGH MY MIND THAT THESE MIGHT BE THE CHAINS THAT MET MARIA AND PEDRO AS THEY STEPPED ONTO LAND HERE.

NO, IT WAS THE SHIP THAT DELIVERED THEM THAT MADE SLAVES OF THEM.

THE REPORTS BACK FROM ENGLAND LIED THAT THE VESSEL AND ITS MARQUE WERE DUTCH.

THEY WERE AS ENGLISH AS YOU ARE, JAMES READ.

THE DISPATCH ALSO SAID THAT THE VESSEL ESCAPED BEFORE THE GOVERNOR COULD ARREST ANY OF THOSE ABOARD.

YET THE SAME MAN NOW POSSESSES HALF THE HUMAN CARGO.

YEARDLEY'S JUST A THISTLE IN YOUR THROAT, ISN'T HE?

THE SHIP THAT ESCAPED LIMPED ALONG THE COAST, WAS SUNK, AND ITS CREW VANISHED INTO VIRGINIA.

THE MAN WHO COULD TRACK DOWN THOSE MISSING MARINERS MIGHT SEE THEM DISCLOSE THE TRUTH AS TO WHY MARIA AND PEDRO SHOULD BELONG TO OUR GOVERNOR.

THERE IS SOME DARKNESS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO POKE A STICK AT.

HOW DO YOU WISH TO BE REMEMBERED?

AS THE MAN WHO DELIVERED JUSTICE?

OR WILL YOUR LEGACY BE JAMES READ, GREASY HIRELING THAT MADE THE CHAINS?

AHEM.

PEDRO DOES NOT WISH TO TRAP ME IN THAT MOMENT.

MARIA DOES NOT.

ONLY YOU DO.

I WAS OBLIGED.

SUCH IS MY WORK.

AND ONE GRAIN OF DARK TIME WILL NOT IMPRISON ME.

YOU ARE THE MAN CAN BE TRUSTED.

YOU ARE THE MAN CAPABLE OF THE JOURNEY.

WILL YOU GO UP RIVER TO SEEK THE VILLAINS?

OR WILL YOU BE CHAINED IN THAT MOMENT FOREVER?

♪ MARIA: THE GROUND HAS HAD THE SUN UPON IT ALL THE DAY LONG.

THE SKY IS SO STILL.

IT IS SOOTHING TO LIE HERE.

PEDRO...IF WE FIGHT NO MORE, IF WE ACCEPT THE WAY THINGS ARE, PERHAPS THEN WE WILL KNOW PEACE.

OH, YES, MARIA.

YOU WILL BOW TO YEARDLEY BECAUSE YOU LOVE TO.

YOU WILL TREMBLE WITH PLEASURE WHEN YOU SEE ANOTHER DAY PICKING TOBACCO, HUH?

[LAUGHS] FROM THE DAY BEFORE?

[BOTH LAUGH] ♪ [FIRE CRACKLING] [CHAINS RATTLING] THE TWO OF YOU-- NAMED IN HIS WILL.

TO BE GRANTED TO YEARDLEY'S CHILDREN WHEN HE PASSES.

A CHILD YET BORN WILL RECEIVE US AS A GIFT.

HE MAY LIVE OR SHE MAY LIVE FOR MANY YEARS ON.

SO, WE ARE TOLD OF WHAT OUR LIVES TO COME WILL BE.

ALL OF THOSE YEARS AHEAD ALREADY DECIDED.

EVEN IF I KILL YEARDLEY, HE WILL OWN US BEYOND THE GRAVE.

VERITY: WHAT CAN THEY DO, DOCTOR?

IS THIS WHAT THE LAW SAYS?

THEY IN'T NO MORE THAN BELONGINGS IN THAT MAN'S MIND.

CHRISTOPHER: I WILL WRITE TO ENGLAND.

I WILL MAKE COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMPANY.

PERHAPS THERE IS A WAY TO TAKE ON YEARDLEY HERE, IN THE ASSEMBLY, THE BURGESSES.

NO.

I WILL NOT REST MY HOPES ON THE JUST SOCIETY MORE.

WHAT'LL YOU DO, MARIA?

THE WORDS OF WHAT OUR MASTER INTENDS TO DO ARE MARKED DOWN.

BUT I HEAR NO ROAR OF THE WORLD.

PEDRO, WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET?

ARE YOU HELPLESS?

ARE YOU DEFEATED?

WHY DO YOU NOT MAKE THE GROUND TREMBLE?

IT IS A VILE THING THAT THE SUN WILL COME UP AGAIN TOMORROW.

IT IS FOUL THAT THE FLOWERS GROW.

HEY.

WHY DO THEY GROW?

WHY ARE THEY PERMITTED TO GROW?

MARIA.

MARIA!

WE THANK YOU, DOCTOR, FOR YOUR WISH TO HELP US.

AND NOW YOU MAY GO BACK TO YOUR MEDICINES AND YOUR BOOK AND YOUR PRAYERS.

HE IN'T THE ONE TO BLAME, MARIA.

WHY NOT?

♪ [CHACROW SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] CHACROW.

WOULD YOU INSTRUCT MY WIFE?

WINGANUSKE KNOWS THAT SHE MUST ALWAYS OBEY HER BROTHER.

SUCH IS THE PAMUNKEY WAY, BUT SHE'S MARRIED TO AN ENGLISHMAN.

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE DOING LIVING HERE AMONGST US, CHACROW?

PAMUNKEY ARE GIVEN LEARNING FOR OUR LABORS.

MANY OF US.

HENRY, WE HAVE TROUBLE ENOUGH WITHOUT A BATTLE WITH CHACROW.

COME AWAY, CHACROW.

♪ [SPEAKING ALGONQUIAN] ♪ MARIA, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT MY HUSBAND HAD WRITTEN IN HIS WILL.

YOU TOLD ME THAT OUR GOVERNOR WOULD RETURN TO THE BETTER MAN HE ONCE WAS.

I VOW TO YOU, MARIA, I WILL NOT CEASE TRYING TO PERSUADE HIM.

WHEN?

NAME A TIME WHEN OUR LIVES WILL CHANGE.

DO YOU THREATEN ME, MARIA?

I SPEAK ONLY A QUESTION, MA'AM.

DO YOU DARE SUGGEST TO ME THAT YOU WOULD USE WHAT YOUR ANCESTORS TELL YOU TO SHIFT MY HUSBAND'S MIND?

I DID NOT SAY THAT.

YOU KNOW THE POWER YOUR GIFTS HOLD OVER HIM.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE THEM.

♪ I WILL POISON YEARDLEY.

I WILL INFECT HIM WITH SUCH WORDS AND PERCEPTIONS THAT I WILL BE THE THIEF AT HIS EAR WILL STEAL HIS BRAINS FROM HIM.

NO.

HEAR ME WELL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE THINGS, PEDRO?

NOTHING WILL CHANGE IN THE FIELD.

THE TOBACCO WILL NEED TENDING.

NOTHING WILL CHANGE WITH THE LAW.

THE WORLD WILL NOT ROAR FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.

THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT CHANGE IS YEARDLEY'S MIND.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I AM PEDRO.

I PULLED THAT MAN FROM A BEAR PIT WHERE HE WOULD BLEED TO DEATH.

I CARRIED HIM HOME.

PERHAPS I CAN REACH INTO HIS SOUL.

NOW YOU WILL TASTE THE BALANCE OF THINGS.
