00:03Father's dead
00:06But it's safe here, teach
00:08Do not trust them
00:09Pay no mind to their words and their kind-seeming gestures
00:14Why do you have to go with me?
00:15He's the one, teach me to swim
00:19Choose the right one to teach you
00:23You're carrying molasses, from what I see?
00:26I know where we might go
00:28We go to America, Virginia to be precise
00:31Your marriage to McGee is vital to our survival
00:35Halifax was supposed to be a fresh start
00:37I won't live a lie anymore
00:39What do you think?
00:40That I will make another choice
00:47Somebody gotta watch that door
00:49Make sure the wolf don't sneak in the back
00:51But what if he already here?
00:58I'll make the introductions to Mr. Farrow
00:59He'll give you a fair price for your molasses
01:00Yeah, speaking of
01:01I'll make the introductions to Mr. Farrow
01:03He'll give you a fair price for your molasses
01:04Yeah, speaking of
01:05We can't set up looking like this
01:06Might you advance us a small sum so we blend in with the locals
01:09We might
01:10We might
01:11We might
01:13Oh, yeah
01:15Go ahead
01:18Come on
01:19Yeah, yeah
01:20Come on
01:21Yeah
01:22Yeah, I'll make the introductions to Mr. Farrow
01:23He'll give you a fair price for your molasses
01:24Yeah, speaking of
01:27We can't set up looking like this
01:29Might you advance us a small sum so we blend in with the locals?
01:31us a small sum so we blend in with the locals we might
01:43George Washington Black I am sorry about Barrington. No you're not
01:54I like your spirit little pirate
02:01Wash your friend Barrington was perhaps not as lunatic as I once supposed and I declare that where I have failed you I shall be better
02:22Wash what I'm trying to say is you can trust me today evermore
02:31What do you say you ready for a brand new adventure
02:52Behold us our new finely tailored outfits befitting two explorers
02:58The air in Virginia is different
03:04Yes it's thinner here smells of bitter tobacco and cotton
03:08One of that sweet Barbados cane
03:14So Mr. Ferrer was a great friend and associate of my father
03:18Have I already told you?
03:20Yes he was a scientist like your father
03:26Yes and like us and an abolitionist
03:28Like you
03:30Ah here we are
03:32Capital
03:34Why didn't you say capital you do this?
03:36Is that so?
03:37Am I an object of your study now Wash?
03:38Is that alright?
03:39Oh yes
03:40Observations the proper province of the scientist
03:41How do you square it all Mr. Ferrer?
03:42Profiting from the sugar trade being a scientist and your work as an abolitionist
03:48Revolutions and science require funding dear boy
03:50She drives a hard bargain your lady pirate
03:52But I'm all in
03:54I won't inquire to you
03:55What do you do?
03:56What do you do?
03:57What do you do?
03:58What do you do?
03:59What do you do?
04:00What do you do?
04:01What do you do?
04:02What do you do?
04:03What do you do?
04:04What do you do?
04:05What do you do?
04:06I do?
04:07What you do?
04:08How many people will do?
04:09What do you do?
04:10What does this do you do?
04:11Is that certain things lately
04:12Do this work as an abolitionist
04:13Revolutions and science require funding dear boy
04:15She drives a hard bargain your lady pirate
04:18But I'm all in
04:19I won't inquire too deeply as to the circumstances that placed christopher wild with pirates
04:23But I will say that a man needs to know what he's running to
04:26As much as what he's running from
04:29You remain
04:30As ever, the teacher Mr. Ferrer
04:32And I your student
04:34I'm interested to learn more about this cloud-cutter craft you built
04:38and this budding young scientist you've arrived with.
04:43The Royal Science League.
04:45I'm a 22-year member of the RSL
04:48and a recipient of the Excellence Award for my dissection techniques.
04:55Like your father, Titch?
04:57Yes. Yes, my father was a member.
05:00Was? You mean is, surely.
05:03Mr. Farrow, my father is deceased a year now.
05:08I hate to deliver the news to such a dear friend.
05:14These are from your father.
05:16Posted within the last few months.
05:20We have been corresponding during his polar expedition.
05:24I dare say you are mistaken.
05:27Can't be possible.
05:33Oh, my God.
05:54Oh.
05:55Oh, my God.
06:25What I was worried about...
06:44What happened?
06:50He betrayed us.
06:55What will you say happened?
07:05Another face for the war.
07:09Oh, my dear.
07:21My dear, you look absolutely beautiful.
07:39Thank you for agreeing to cordials, Father.
07:45You wanting to see Mr. McGee is music to my ears.
07:49Father, can I ask you something?
07:51Yes, of course.
07:53You and Mother.
07:54I know your relationship was frowned upon, but how did it feel when you were together?
08:05Well, um, it felt like fire upon summer grass.
08:20What?
08:21Father!
08:22Did you know about me?
08:36Not for years.
08:42She knew that if she'd told me, then I never would have left.
08:45I think I know that I loved her more than she loved me.
08:56You told me no good comes from love.
08:59Yes, well, I meant my own broken heart.
09:07In the end, your mother and I could never have been together.
09:10You, daughter, you will write a different legacy for yourself.
09:20Mr. Goff, please.
09:23Have you finalized the guest list?
09:28For?
09:29The wedding.
09:31I assume that's the reason for this sudden invitation.
09:34Well, there's a different reason we're here today.
09:42It's important to know who you're marrying.
09:45You see, Mr. McGee, this is less about you than it is about me.
09:51And my chance to create my own legacy.
09:54There is something we must discuss.
09:57A secret.
09:58I'm intrigued.
10:00My mother was born in the Solomon Islands.
10:07Oh.
10:08A native.
10:11As was I.
10:14Tana, that's enough.
10:15That's enough.
10:16To be clear, I've only been passing as a white woman.
10:22Is that it?
10:33Certainly enough to give you misgivings about our wedding.
10:41To live in a skin other than one's own.
10:48My poor dear.
11:00Mr. McGee.
11:01And to think that up until now I considered you a lady of entitlement.
11:06Shame on me.
11:08If I may be blunt, I know the circumstances surrounding our marriage may offend your modern sensibilities.
11:15But I think that given the correct amount of time, you may be able to appreciate me in the way that I now appreciate you.
11:21I don't understand.
11:24Perhaps I too am more complex than meets the eye.
11:29Our contract is binding.
11:31Of course.
11:32You are.
11:33Yes.
11:34You are.
11:51I am.
11:55I am.
11:56I am.
12:01Tana, how do things go with Mr. McGee?
12:16I'm afraid I failed.
12:19And you? Any news of the hunters?
12:22None. Until Willow's body turns up, it's best I lay low.
12:27I'm just glad you weren't hurt.
12:28At least staying at Miss Angie's is a sight better than that cellar.
12:36Come in.
12:58This book has been in your possession for some time.
13:18Since I was a boy. So I came to draw sea creatures.
13:25You dog-eared page 112?
13:27Yes, the watercolour of the mollusk that sheds its shell.
13:30After the larval stage. Page 68?
13:36The illustration of the decorator crab hiding in the seaweed bed.
13:40Seaweed bed.
13:43How do you know it as well as I?
13:45This is my father's book.
13:58Who's Titch?
13:59My teacher.
14:00My, uh...
14:02My mentor, uh...
14:06He was the man who took me from my home.
14:10Oh.
14:14Uh, Turtle, is that you?
14:17And Turtle Dove was my mother.
14:19My father wrote this book about his discoveries in the Solomon Islands.
14:25Where you were born.
14:27What are the chances that you would have this book?
14:31And know it so intimately?
14:33It's more uncommon than you could have imagined.
14:35What does it matter if...
14:43If you can't find a way to be together?
14:46No, you can't despair. No, I won't allow it.
14:49I'll find another way to end my engagement.
14:52But in the meantime,
14:54we need a way to be together in public, safely.
14:58The solution...
15:00My father.
15:00What better way to shield oneself from the viciousness of one white man
15:06than to the ego of another?
15:09You already struck his scientific curiosity when you came to our house.
15:13He said that?
15:14Father's ego is the key.
15:17So we play to it.
15:18He'll consider you one of his scientific discoveries.
15:21And there is some measure of safety in that.
15:24You do know your father kills his discoveries to study them?
15:28It won't work.
15:29I'm not McGee.
15:30I'm not the sort of man your father wants for you.
15:32You need some guidance.
15:34More than you'd openly admit.
15:41You need only spend more time together
15:44for him to see how brilliant you are.
15:47If you were to become Jack Rawford,
15:53respected scientist and esteemed colleague of G.M. Goff,
15:57you would not be vulnerable to attack in the way that you are now.
16:05All right.
16:07All right. All right.
16:08Tell me the plan.
16:17My father and I are going on a dive in the morning
16:21to research his new book.
16:25You'll come with us.
16:26I'll try anything.
16:36I'll try anything.
16:45I have to go.
16:48Before my father knows I'm gone.
16:49Be careful.
16:57Hello there.
17:24Good day for the sea.
17:27Tanner, look.
17:28I found my intelligent delivery boy.
17:30What a coincidence.
17:32Hello.
17:33Mr. Jack.
17:35Jack Crawford.
17:36And how are you this early morning, Mr. Crawford?
17:38I was just out for a stroll on my day off, sir.
17:41Well, I'd have been asleep if
17:43Tanner hadn't discovered that the slack tide
17:45was running in our favor today.
17:47That's as your good fortune then, sir.
17:49You know, on a morning like this,
17:50the marine life will be plentiful.
17:52Perhaps you'll make another extraordinary discovery.
17:56Well, maybe.
18:03We're done.
18:05Would you care to join us?
18:06Given your interest in marine life,
18:08I'm sure Tanner wouldn't mind, would you?
18:09Well, I suppose not.
18:14Well, very good.
18:15Come aboard, Mr. Crawford.
18:22There we are.
18:28Our adventure awaits.
18:29Mr. Goff, I hadn't realized upon our first meeting that
18:51you were the author of resplendence of nudibranchia.
18:55Perhaps you and I could discuss it.
18:58I do know every page by heart.
19:00Every page?
19:01It's impossible.
19:02Your book, as a boy, would have meant to me.
19:05And now it means even more.
19:10Your watercolors are mesmerizing.
19:12It's true, sir.
19:13It's how I learned to paint.
19:14Oh, my arm.
19:16Are you all right?
19:17I'm afraid I can't dive, Father.
19:24I'll do it.
19:28Can you even swim?
19:30I can, sir.
19:36Great.
19:38Let's get you into this diving suit, shall we?
19:40The terrain below, it's an alien landscape.
19:50And to stand upon it is to feel like an explorer of the unknown.
19:56You'll see the world differently when you come back up.
19:58I feel a part of me will always be down there.
20:03I understand, sir.
20:05I'm 2,000 feet above.
20:07Even on an island, it looks like a pebble you can hold in your hand.
20:13You consistently say the most interesting things.
20:16You'll find my specimen capture just below.
20:18She'll be teeming with creatures.
20:19We'll stuff and study them.
20:22Now, worry not, Mr. Crawford.
20:23They're the lucky ones, made immortal by science and my good name.
20:27Now, the main thing is to try not to die.
20:42This valve is most important.
20:45You must release oxygen into your breathing helmet to replenish what's been used.
20:49And you must check it constantly while underwater to ensure a steady flow.
20:53And that is how you breathe, without gills.
20:57Now, are you ready for me to throw you overboard?
21:15You must fill you in your water.
21:16You must fill the water.
21:16Oh, my God.
21:17Well, my God.
21:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
21:18What do you dance if you are?
21:19What?
21:19Oh, my God.
21:20Oh, my God.
21:20Oh, my God.
21:20Oh, my God.
21:21Oh, my God.
21:21Oh, my God.
21:43Oh, my God.
21:43I don't know.
22:13I don't know.
22:43I don't know.
23:14Oh, it's an octopus.
23:15That's a real catch.
23:20How on earth did you put it off?
23:23I didn't catch her.
23:25She swam into my arms.
23:27She saw that I was struggling and came forth to help me.
23:32I'm certain of it.
23:32Look at the way that she shapeshifts her colors.
23:37I've never seen one like it.
23:40A fine apprentice, perhaps, Father.
23:42Well, he might just be.
23:44We shall spend the rest of the day stuffing her.
23:47Excuse me, sir.
23:50What if there was a way to hold on to the creature's beauty before it disappeared?
23:54What if that moment of life didn't have to turn into death?
23:59Do you think it could do that?
24:00Find a way to keep it alive?
24:03She'll give me a day.
24:04Perhaps two.
24:05Imagine the RSL's reaction to such a discovery.
24:09A gold medal might be in my future just yet.
24:11So, can you design a home, Bert?
24:23Maybe.
24:25But let's start at the beginning.
24:28Well, marine animals absorb oxygen.
24:32So she'll need that to survive.
24:34And the plants and the water give off oxygen and also absorb carbonic acid.
24:39Which marine creatures exhale.
24:40Oh, so perhaps then the way to make them thrive in captivity...
24:43Is to house them together.
24:51There will have to be light if the vegetation is to get what it needs for synthesis.
24:58So, this glow won't work.
25:04It will have to be a clear glass tank.
25:06That could work, yes.
25:08Your fiancé left a note in our absence requesting the honour of your company tomorrow.
25:13He mentions an outing of unprecedented splendour.
25:18And given his resources, I can only imagine.
25:24I'll be on my way.
25:28No, Mr Crawford.
25:32Mr Crawford, your thoughts are intriguing.
25:35Come to me in a week's time with an update on your progress.
25:38There's no point in bothering Tana.
25:40She's going to be busy planning the wedding.
25:41Tana, my dear.
25:52Whatever you think is going on between you and Mr Crawford, it's not practical.
25:57I don't know what you're talking about.
25:58There is nothing going on, but...
25:59I saw the way that you looked at him and he at you.
26:02And I thought I'd made myself quite clear when I took you into my confidence.
26:06You will not transgress.
26:08You will marry Mr McGee.
26:15I know you believe it's what's best.
26:18And I've tried to follow your rules.
26:20I will not let you make my choices for me.
26:25Whether it be who I marry or what skin I inhabit.
26:29My issue is with the larger world.
26:32What kind of life do you think that you can have with that young man?
26:36I am certain I could survive the indignities the world would heap upon me.
26:39I've been practising since the day I arrived in London.
26:42It's more than dirty looks or hostile comments or social exile.
26:46Your life could be in jeopardy.
26:50So you're afraid?
27:03I'm prepared to walk through fire for love.
27:07A path I believe in my heart you wish you'd taken.
27:11Do you remember that feeling, Father?
27:13Don't you?
27:15I know you do.
27:16Do you honestly believe that one lovely day on the water is going to change our circumstances?
27:25Nobility marries strategically.
27:27We're no different.
27:29But you've already recognised his genius.
27:32If Mr Crawford is able to solve the problem before him,
27:35then there is no limit to our success.
27:37You said it yourself.
27:38You know that without your marriage to Mr McGee,
27:42our family faces ruin.
27:51This is what's best.
27:52Well, it's a pleasure to see you too.
28:17You'll have to excuse me, Mr McGee.
28:24My father's waiting for me to head back out onto the water.
28:28Tanner, please.
28:29Might we at least have a conversation like proper people?
28:36You took me by surprise when last we met.
28:39To little avail, apparently.
28:40No, I was being quite sincere.
28:42You showed me a lens into who you really are,
28:45and I quite simply wish to show you the same.
28:48Oh, well.
28:50I already know who you are.
28:53Men like you, who use people,
28:55conquer lands, name things,
28:57and tell yourself that they belong to you.
29:00Men like me.
29:05Don't you mean men like your father?
29:08I've got to go.
29:09Forgive me.
29:11I do not mean to insult you
29:13or my future father-in-law.
29:15Then why are you really here, Mr McGee?
29:19I look at you,
29:21and I see someone brilliant.
29:23Someone beautiful.
29:26Someone who refuses to let the world
29:28tell her who she should be.
29:31And I know what you think you see
29:32when you look at me,
29:34but there's more.
29:35All my life,
29:37I have sought that fleeting chance,
29:41that possibility,
29:43and I have taken it.
29:46I am here now because, just like you,
29:49I knew I deserved more.
29:52We're the same.
29:53It's not simply about deserving more.
30:00One has to be more.
30:03Be more?
30:04Be better,
30:05be more than what the world expects.
30:08More than even you expect.
30:09Can you be all of that?
30:17Will you let me try?
30:22I'm late.
30:25And since this is your house,
30:26you can amuse yourself
30:27or show yourself out.
30:48Bye-bye.
30:49Bye-bye.
30:50Bye-bye.
30:50Bye-bye.
30:53And if you're physics ging,
30:54by the way you took it once.
30:56I'll come.
31:26Excuse me.
31:32Yes?
31:35Are you the one called Farrell?
31:37You are?
31:38The man who needs you to smuggle this boy north.
31:40His name's Harrison.
31:42Your son?
31:43No.
31:44I freed him from his master.
31:46Freedom?
31:47By what means?
31:48I'll be happy to show you if you don't let me finish my business.
31:51Please, please, don't mind him.
31:53Will you cede to the boy?
31:55I asked you a question.
31:57You already know who I am.
32:09I'll contact my agent.
32:22Come on, Harrison.
32:24We'd be well advised to wait in the basement with them until this blows over.
32:27Who is this man coming for us?
32:29That is the man who has loosed the dog's fear.
32:33Nat Turner.
32:35Head down.
32:36Head down.
32:37And I'll contact my agent.
32:52My agent will be here presently.
32:54Once the boy's safe passage is certain.
32:57I'll need you to leave immediately.
33:04What's your name, boy?
33:09I don't bite.
33:11At least not our people.
33:13Man give respect.
33:14He get respect.
33:15My sentiments exactly.
33:16Now I must know your name.
33:17George Washington Black.
33:18British accent.
33:19American name.
33:20Two countries at war.
33:22Do you know of heaven?
33:23Washington Black.
33:24Washington Black.
33:25I don't know.
33:26I don't know.
33:27I know of heaven.
33:28What's your name?
33:29George Washington Black.
33:30What is your name?
33:31The British accent.
33:32American name.
33:33The British accent.
33:34An American name.
33:35Two countries at war.
33:37Do you know of heaven?
33:41Washington Black.
33:44I don't know.
33:45I know that everything that dies lives again in Dahomey.
33:58Where I come from, folks might call that heaven.
34:02But you and I are different.
34:04No. No, boy, we all come from the same place.
34:08We've been scattered across this white man's world for so long,
34:12surviving on the scraps he gives.
34:14Some of us don't even remember anything else.
34:17Did the white man give you heaven?
34:19Only insofar as he believed it was his to give.
34:22The folk like you are now in Washington, black folk,
34:27we know that when our eyes closed,
34:29they will open again to see a better place.
34:32You sound like a kid, my friend.
34:36See? Not so different after all.
34:44That boy's name's Harrison.
34:46Why don't you go keep him company?
34:48Hello. I'm Wash.
35:00Englishman.
35:03Englishman.
35:06I'm addressing you.
35:08Is this boy your slave?
35:10He's my friend.
35:13And he's free. I helped him escape.
35:16Escape?
35:18To a place he can be taken and killed for no reason.
35:21I am an abolitionist. My intentions are to...
35:23You are a charlatan!
35:24Seeking the comforting pricks of guilty conscience.
35:27Charlatan, you say.
35:30Yet you stand there preaching to the boy about heaven and providence,
35:34all whilst your hands drip with blood.
35:36Tinch!
35:37I know who you are, Nat Turner.
35:39I've read about you and your methods.
35:41Is that so?
35:42Yeah.
35:44Should I tell you why this boy is mute?
35:47Tell you how he saw his father being made a meal of by dogs?
35:52His mother being sold his breeding stock?
35:55And your answer is slaughter.
35:57Violence cannot be the tool to freedom.
36:00Reason, logic, and the appeal to man's better nature will...
36:03Wait!
36:04No! No! No! No!
36:09I see you have been marked.
36:11Okay.
36:12Tell me, Englishman, this violence that kissed your face...
36:16Was it before or after you appealed to their better nature?
36:19Please don't hurt him!
36:21He's all I have.
36:25You can't see the change, little brother.
36:27You may try to sound like them...
36:33But you will never be him.
36:35No!
36:36No!
36:55Tinch, are you alright?
37:05Is your father really still alive?
37:13His last letter was from the Arctic.
37:17I'm sorry, Tinch.
37:20What I wouldn't give to tell him of the suffering that he's caused.
37:24If I knew where my parents were...
37:30I would go to the ends of the Earth.
37:34We should go find him.
37:38To the Arctic.
37:41After everything I've pulled you into and...
37:44away from...
37:46Are you sure you'd still be willing?
37:48I trust you, Tinch.
37:49I trust you, Tinch.
38:18Thank God. That's his signal.
38:21Slave catchers on, Rue.
38:25Steps behind me, I fear.
38:28Turner, you must leave immediately.
38:30No.
38:31They're not looking for Turner.
38:33They're looking for a black boy and his British companion.
38:37Washington black and a Christopher Wilde.
38:50Go!
39:14Come on!
39:16Look at that.
39:17Get down!
40:17I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure.
40:34Willard.
40:36McGee.
40:38I know who you are.
40:40How mysterious.
40:41And how might I help you, Mr. Willard?
40:45I thought maybe I could help you.
40:48Even more mysterious.
40:50We have a common problem.
40:52I'm not aware of any problem.
40:54There's one who's close to home.
40:56Perhaps you overlooked it.
40:59Enlighten me.
41:01You familiar with a black fellow named...
41:05What is he calling himself these days?
41:09Hiya.
41:12Jack Crawford.
41:13I can't say that I am.
41:15Really?
41:17You do know that Miss Tanagoff is, shall we say, quite familiar with her?
41:31And what are you insinuating?
41:33The insinuating is best left to you English.
41:37I speak plain.
41:39We can help each other.
41:41This black fellow that Yurtana is entangled with.
41:49He is a piece of property to be corralled.
41:53A threat to be contained.
41:56And I find myself short on manpower and resources.
42:01So he's too much for you, then, is he?
42:08This Jack Crawford.
42:12Do your fancy friends know what you do in your spare time, McGee?
42:16What a gentleman chooses to do in his spare time is his business.
42:27But what's behind this peacock costume of yours is no gentleman.
42:32It's a man who will help me remove this thread to us both.
42:40No.
42:45Excuse me.
42:46I don't care who you think I am, Mr. Willard.
42:52I don't care what you think you know.
42:57I reject it.
43:03And I reject you.
43:04There will be consequences, McGee.
43:20There always are.
43:21Oh, my God.
43:42Oh, my God.
