Black Sails XXV

Lord Thomas Hamilton... first effort with Lord Hamilton and... Without Lord Hamilton’s efforts, your efforts... Just as Thomas Hamilton wanted.

Thomas Hamilton fought to introduce the pardons to make a point. To seek to change England. And he was killed for it.

Black Sails XXV

I'm not going out there with "I don't know yet." These people know their lives are about to change. They know they'll need to fight to survive, but I will not go before them and argue to have that fight all at once and risk losing everything all at once unless I am certain that fight can be won.

Black Sails XXV

That fucking chair. To gain it, it demands you win partners, call them friends, make them promises. To keep it, it demands you break them all. One day when all is settled here, we should burn that fucking chair.

My God, how I hated you. There was a time in which I could not conceive of how I could ever forgive you. And in this moment, I am you.

Black Sails XXV

When the governor's men arrive at the transaction without Jack and Anne sees this, she will resist. I would humbly ask that the governor's men refrain -

They have been forbidden from firing first. They've been forbidden from provoking her. They've been forbidden from using any violence against her at all unless in dire and unavoidable self-defense.

Why?

Because I demanded it. Out of respect for your partnership.
