Jamestown

I love you. I'll be back.

Hasn't Silas chosen his brother over you?

Silver!

- Woo! - I knew it!

So Sharrow got nothing from you?

He never asked about no map, sir.

I've been preoccupied with what might have happened to the map.

You must tell me you did not look inside of the box.

You'll be returning to Jamestown?

Just as soon as he was well enough Henry set out for the uplands.

You owe me a debt, James Read.

Make me a dagger.

I knew you wouldn't leave us.

A lot of work being done.

Silas did it. And I did.

- And Alice. -

She married Silas.

That's what I thought.

We'll all work together, though. Won't we, Henry?

The Sharrows will have the best farm in all of Virginia.

Won't we?

Everything's about to change, Pepper.

Everything.

Silver.

Plenty more where I found that.

This colony is taken in the name of our monarch.

What riches are found here belong to the Crown.

Well, then let the King go to the far off mountains and

dig it up for himself, if he can discover it.

If he can discover it? I always said Henry Sharrow had balls of iron!

Rutter!

Henry, just remember that we are all here as servants of the Virginia Company.

We can, I'm sure, find a fair reward for your dauntless endeavour,

but you must recognise that this find comes under the determination...

Of the law, Sharrow.

The law, gentlemen, as you know as well as I do,

bends to the will of the man with the riches.

Aye.

Let us ask our Governor

what he will have us do.

We will confirm what the sack contains first.

We will send it to England on the first ship for confirmation.

This sack isn't going on no ship.

Nuts of iron. Nuts of fire.

Then how do you propose to refine the silver, Sharrow?

I held rocks in my hand,

flecked, cut, shot

with silver.

Silver.

More rocks than I could dig up in a month, six months.

I've witnessed what is out there and I know what it's worth

to Jamestown, Virginia...

you gentlemen,

- all of us. -

- All of us. - All of us, yeah!

I alone can say where the treasure is, so...

I will decide what is right...

and what is wrong.

- Well said, Henry Sharrow! - Yeah!

Will we drink to your good fortune, Henry?

Your throat must be as dry as a dead dog's bones.

Uh, no. There'll be no drinking, Meredith.

You're not worth the blood that runs in your veins.

Pay no heed to my wife, Henry.

She's a beetle-headed flax wench!

Have a drink with me, my true penny friend.

I can't bear that he is free to terrify me.

We will see that he is locked up for his crimes.

It must have been a terrible fire

- that you could not save your brother. - I didn't kill Henry.

But you fear him.

I can see it.

Why do you look for him if you dread finding him?

He saved me many times.

I want to know if he needs my help.

Do you love your brother, Silas?

He's my brother.

Argentum.

The Saxons called it siolfor.

The Spanish discovered great veins rich in silver high in the uplands.

And then the saka takers.

It is said that there were a thousand mines.

I heard the same, sir.

Whole mountains made of silver.

What of my precious dirt, sir?

Since there is no trier of minerals here.

You will require a fierce heat to burn off the impurities.

You might borrow my own crucible.

You know the man to do it.

There ain't a better man for 100 mile at taming fire

than James Read himself. Fine man. Friend of mine.

I'll ask him, Henry, on your behalf.

- I'll speak with Read. - Well, we'll request him together.

You must have him crush the ore into smaller pieces

to make the material porous.

Use lead as a flux to bind the metal in the ore

and then reduce the ore to slag.

How intriguing it all is.

I have medicines, Henry,

that might help heal your face.

I'm grateful for your consideration, Dr Priestley,

but my face is cured enough.

Let me at least apply some yarrow to calm the pain.

Thank you, sir.

But the pain is mine to bear.

Are you the devil?

Will you devour me?

Up you get, lass.

Master Sharrow, may I speak with you?

Your name will, before too long, be renowned.

All of London will know that Henry Sharrow delivered

the greatest riches ever known to a settler.

To an Englishman.

You will doubtless be plagued with false friends and companions.

Perhaps you might be in need of wise counsel.

Your husband is known as an honest fellow.

- He is. - Yeah.

I slaved for eight years with these hands.

Every day of it I belonged to another man.

I called him "sir" when I addressed him.

I insisted upon it.

Because I knew the day would come

when it would be my turn.

Tell your husband, next time you see him,

he's to call me "sir".

And he's to bow before me.

Then I'll consider whether

him and all those like him will belong to me.

Mercy.

It was then I arrived here.

Henry Sharrow followed me down to the water's edge and he raped me.

Why do you accuse him now?

Henry left Jamestown,

believed dead. There was no need for me to report it.

Now that he's returned, I'm asking for justice.

Is it not, perhaps,

because Sharrow is now a man of great wealth?

I-I don't want his silver.

I want him to face the law for what he did to me.

He bought you.

Yet you married his brother.

Is it possible you bring this case to discredit Henry

in order to justify your abandoning him

when he so kindly brought you here?

Won't you at least question the man?

We're questioning Mistress Sharrow.

Shame on your church-kneed,

worm-livered, Christian souls!

We women were promised

the protection of England's own laws if we came here,

but in this place it seems blackness is a virtue!

Come, Verity, let us go.

Henry Sharrow can come after me again any time that he chooses to.

How can I live here knowing that?

This business might serve in our favour.

Gallows might make Sharrow biddable.

Henry Sharrow isn't biddable.

The man's barely human.

...give us this day our daily bread...

...and lead us not into temptation.

...day our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

It will require an oven built of bricks and clay

- to obtain sufficient heat. - We'll all put our hand to it.

I didn't say I'd take on the task.

Well, of course you will, James Read.

Of course he will, Henry. Why would you say such a thing?

James, let me just utter one word to you.

Mark it well.

Riches.

There. Riches and wealth and plenty and treasure.

Ain't them good enough reasons for us all to be companions, eh?

Henry knows why I might not want to help him.

Well, you're the only man here who can assist me.

- I promise you great reward. -

Will you trade with me?

Name it.

I'll build an oven, I'll... I'll smelt your ore.

I'll give you your silver

and you will stay away from Alice Kett.

She ain't a Kett no more. She's a Sharrow.

Build the oven.

He must see that you're not afraid of him.

But I'm sick with fear.

Here.

You stay out of Henry's way until Silas returns.

Supposing Silas never comes back?

I might have saved Henry.

But my courage failed me.

I'd asked him to die because...

...he raped a woman.

The woman who was to be his wife.

So it is about the woman.

Yeah, it is.

Do you want to kill your brother now?

No, I want to find him, I want to help him.

I don't want to kill him. Why would I want to kill him?

Perhaps you do not know yourself well enough.

The man at the Appamattuck village, Davie,
