Terms of the agreement?

Williams warned me you'd be a slippery fucker.

Where's the rest of it?

Half now, half when the boat comes.

That's not what we agreed.

Those are my terms.

Camp down on the beach. These marshes are ours.

The boat will be coming in the beginning of the month.

I'll come to collect the rest when it arrives.

Williams said it would be days.

Did he?

You're fuckin' lucky it's coming at all.

'Course if you'd rather stay I mean.

No.

Didn't think so.

You stay away from us, do you hear?

If the Queen's justices come looking, you get no

protection from us... understood?

Fuck off.

God go with you.

What is it?

You should have told me.

Liz, I'm doing this for you. For us.

So we get a place of our own, a place away from all this.

No more tents.

No more tents?

Four walls? - Four Walls.

A roof? - And a baby in your belly.

At the end of the month, when the boats arrive we'll have enough money to get away from here.

Hasn't happened yet- - Our time will come.

The good Lord will look favourably upon us.

He will listen and he will bless us.

I promise.

What about Patience?

I promised to look after you.

Patience too.

Come on.

Breakfast's ready.

Jacob! Fucking listen to me.

Why won't you stand up to him?

Look at him. What hold has he got over you?

I left- - TILD!

We left everything for you. For this!?

You call yourself a man? You're a coward.

Go on. Go on. Go on! Show me what I'm good for. Go on....go on.

I won't warn you again.

You're pathetic. Pathetic!

You need to keep her on a tighter leash Jacob.

Wouldn't let any woman of mine talk to me like that.

You need to take another wife.

One that does what she's fucking told.

What about Ben?

He doesn't mind sharing, does he Kat?

I'd have something to say about it.

I don't doubt it. Still though, a man has ways to stop a sow's mouth.

And a sow's got teeth to bite it off.

She's not lying.

You like a shriveled purse don't you Ben?

Someone should I suppose?

What about Patience?

What do you think Patience?

Could you satisfy Jacob?

She might be a cursed wort but I bet she knows where to fucking put it, eh?

Nothing to say for yourself Patience?

I think we have an agreement then Jacob. - David!

So eager. Not a word of complaint.

See most ladies they like to play disinterest, but not Patience. No no no.

She would happily cream the milk of another woman's husband.

You're a bad girl Patience,

but then again you already know that don't you?

See the problem remains.

Whilst a man loves a woman who can hold her own tongue.

Every once in awhile, he likes a bit of conversation.

A little praise whilst in the rough.

That's enough David.

You have to admit she's not much of a talker, but I bet

she moans like a fucking bitch in heat.

Oh, here we go.

Ssssshhhhh......[She stutters/stammers]

No we got that bit.

[He imatates her stutter/stammer]

Go on Patience, you can do it.

I was only having a bit of jest Patience!

Having a bit of fun.

Ssssshhhhhhhhhh....[Stutters/sta

Shut

Shut...Shut...Shut...

The......[Stutters/stammers attempting to sing]

Tttttt....there.....

There were three...

Ravens

Sat on a tree.

Down a down, hay down, a down

They were black as black might be

With a down

Then one of them said to his mate

Where shall we our breakfast take?

With a down, derrie, derrie, derrie, down, down.

Please don't stop.

Sorry, I-

I didn't mean to scare.

No, no, no, here, look, here.

Like this.

Here, look...

..like this..

It's not finished yet. Nearly...

take...

Rumi.

Hello.

What is your name?

I am pleased to meet you.

Good day to you.

Haven't I worked hard, Patience?

Prayed hard.

God knows I've wanted hard enough.

I thought I was late with my courses.

But my bleed came today.

I think I must be cursed.

Maybe it's this place.

Maybe we're all cursed.

No.

The girl can't go hungry. - You work, you eat.

That's what we agreed when we started this.

She don't eat today, she'll work harder tomorrow.

No.

R... Ru... Ruu...

...mi

Ruu...

...mi

You mustn't starve.

No matter what he says.

Patience, Patience, Patience...

I've tried with you.

Haven't I tried?

Huh?

Welcomed you in,

taken you on.

You know most men.

They wouldn't have put up with you Patience. But not me.

I was only having a bit of fun today.

Don't you like fun?

Girl like you ought to like a bit of fun.

It's the most you can hope for.

You shouldn't have run away today, Patience.

How can I protect you if I don't know where you are?

If you won't do what I say, how can I protect you?

I want to help you, Patience.

Why won't you let me help you?

I want us to be a family, you know, like a proper family

You. Me. Liz.

Would you like that?

I'm going to go now.

I just want you to think on it.

You're a good girl.

Good girl.

Down in yonder green field.

Down a down, hay down, a down

There lies a Knight slain under his shield, with a down...

His hounds they lie down at his feet

So well they can their Master keep.

With a down, derrie, derrie, derrie, down, down.

She buried him before the prime.

Down a down, hay down, hay down

She was dead herself there in some time with a down.

God send every gentleman. Such hawks, such hounds and such women.

With a down, derrie, derrie, derrie, down, down.

Let me show you.

Knife.

In.

Up.

Quick as a bird.

Huh?

It's easy.
