DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

HENRY, I HAVE A CHILD.

I CARRY A BABE FOR YOU.

[APPLAUSE] [MAN LAUGHS] ♪ [APPLAUSE] [HUMMING] IF ONLY WE COULD ALL REAP SUCH PLEASURE IN OUR PENANCE AS MERCY DOES.

IT IS NOT HER REPENTANCE THAT FILLS HER HEART.

THE SIN OF GETTING HERSELF WITH CHILD.

THE PROSPECT OF LOSING SUCH A FAITHFUL MATE MUST PAIN YOU, JOCELYN.

I'LL FIND ANOTHER GIRL ONCE MERCY IS MARRIED.

[HUMMING] HAVE YOU SUMMONED ME HERE, SIR, TO GLOAT THAT I RETURNED FROM UP RIVER EMPTY-HANDED?

WIDOW, YOU WERE A VALIANT FOE.

FOR A WOMAN.

IS THERE STILL NO WORD, GOVERNOR, OF WHERE MASTER CRABTREE VANISHED TO?

DEFIANCE MIGHT BRING A THRILL TO YOUR CHEEK, WIDOW, BUT WARS ARE WON WITH MIGHT.

I EMPLOYED SCOUTS AND ASSASSINS TO FOLLOW AFTER HIM.

THE FACTOR IS DEAD.

HIS BODY IS THIS MOMENT TRAVELING TO US.

NOW, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE DEFEATED, WIDOW, AND--AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE HUMBLED.

THE WORLD MUST SEE IT.

FROM THIS DAY HENCE, YOU WILL CURTSY WHEN YOU APPROACH ME.

I SAW THEIR KING HERE, SIR.

OPECHANCANOUGH.

HE WAS LAYING TOBACCO AND THE LIKE.

THEY BELIEVE THERE'S A FOOTPRINT OF ONE OF THEIR GODS IN THE ROCK.

THEY SAY HE WALKED THIS EARTH ONCE.

DID THEY THROW DEER HAIRS INTO THE AIR?

THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN THIS WILL BRING NEW CREATURES INTO THE WORLD FOR THEM TO HUNT.

[MEN LAUGH] YEARDLEY: THE NATURALS MUST BE TAUGHT THAT WHAT THEY VENERATE IS UNTRUE AND WORTHLESS.

THAT COULD BE A WAR NAME.

YOU SHOULD GO AND INQUIRE, SEE WHAT MOOD THEY LIVE IN.

DO YOU TELL ME HOW TO GOVERN NOW, SHARROW?

THE NATURALS ARE ALREADY DEFEATED.

TRADE IS A WEAPON THAT HAS TAMED THEM.

GOD, FOOD, AND FRIENDSHIP WILL BRING THEM TO HEEL.

THEY KNEEL IN OUR CHURCHES, THEY WEAR OUR CLOTHES, THEY CRAVE OUR FOOD AND FINERIES.

THAT IS A PEOPLE CRUSHED.

GOVERNOR, THE PAMUNKEY ARE A BRAVE, PROUD NATION.

♪ WIDOW, I TOLD YOU TO CURTSY WHEN WE MET.

IS THERE REASON SUCH ROSY CONCEIT IS RESTORED TO YOUR CHEEKS?

DEAR GOVERNOR, I AM MERELY TAKING SUCH PLEASURE IN THE TASTE OF BARLEY SUGARS.

THEY APPEARED IN MY HOUSE AFTER DARK.

OH, BUT HOW THEY FILL MY MOUTH WITH SUCH A SWEET TASTE OF ENGLAND.

I WONDER HOW THEY ARRIVED HERE.

I SENT WORD TO ENGLAND THAT I WAS WILLING TO PASS ON MY FORGE TO THE MAN WHO PAID ME THE BEST PRICE FOR IT.

JAMESTOWN IS TO ENJOY SUCH PROSPERITY.

OUR FORTUNES WILL GROW AS THE TOWN AND ITS FARMS EXPAND BEYOND IMAGINING.

I'VE NO ARGUMENT WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S PLANS, BUT THEY'RE NOT MINE.

I SEE A GOLDEN SORROW ON EVERY FACE.

WHEN WILL YOU LEAVE?

THERE'S NO REASON TO DELAY, NOW THAT THE NEW SMITHY'S HERE.

I'LL GO TOMORROW.

YOU ARE ARRESTED FOR THE SAKE OF A CRIME.

WHAT WE HEAR IS THAT YOU'RE LEAVING THE TOWN SUDDENLY AND THE WIDOW'S VALUABLE BROOCH HAS BEEN STOLEN.

♪ PEPPER: WHY WOULD THE PAMUNKEY WANT WAR NOW, HENRY?

HENRY: WE HOPE THEY DON'T, BUT WE WILL BE READY.

WE MUST PLACE BARRELS SUCH AS THESE ALL ABOUT THE PLACE, PEPPER.

WINGANUSKE WOULD SAY IF THERE WERE TO BE TROUBLE.

HENRY: WELL, PEOPLE LIVE BY DEEP LOYALTIES.

IT MAY BE THAT HER BOND IS NOT TO ME BUT TO HER OWN KIND.

IF THE NATURALS DO COME...[BLOWS] WE WILL SHOW THEM.

WE HOLD A FEARSOME MIGHT.
