00:01Previously on Washington Black
00:07You've scarred the boy for life you could have killed him
00:09I didn't know such thing
00:11Perhaps father wasn't so mistaken having you locked up
00:14At least it kept others from harm's way
00:17I heard something earlier today
00:19Big fella come in on the ferry looking for a black man
00:22He calls himself George Washington Black
00:27Oh, hey John
00:28Jack, can you please buy me a little bit of rum?
00:31Put a little fire up in my belly
00:33He'll stay away from you
00:36Adwin
00:37We've decided that you shall marry
00:41We're both dreamers
00:44Can't we dream up a different world?
00:53The only one to get away
00:55Why owe that coin
00:58For a runaway?
01:00That's what happens when you kill a weight man
01:25I can tell by that smile
01:36You enjoy yourself
01:38Oh, Miss Angie
01:40She was pleased to see you
01:41She was very pleased
01:43It was amazing
01:47Oh, Medwin
01:48What's
01:49What's...
01:50No
01:51I'm gonna ask
01:52You gonna answer
01:55You got a white man's blood on your hands, island boy
02:01How did you...
02:02So what the hell did I just say?
02:03You gonna do the answering
02:05Medwin, wait
02:06Wait
02:07Look, I ain't gonna lose sleep
02:08Holding no slave master
02:09Getting the bad end of the deal
02:11But if it's true
02:13It'd mean more danger for all of us
02:15Okay?
02:16It's a different kind of hunter
02:19He ain't gonna leave till the job is done
02:21And you son
02:23You are the job
02:25So if you still hide
02:26You still hide
02:27I'm not hiding
02:28Anything
02:30I just...
02:33I just don't know
02:46You're safe here
02:50You're safe with us
02:56I'll tell you...
03:03Everything about Barbados
03:08And why I had to leave
03:27Thank you
03:40Something I should have mentioned
03:41Upon my arrival
03:47Father's dead
03:50From our solicitor
03:56You withheld this deliberately
04:08You lying duplicitous wretch
04:10Is this your revenge?
04:12The details are in the letter
04:14We ask that Erasmus
04:15Come back to London
04:16To sort the family affairs
04:18And who is to run faith?
04:21Did you?
04:22Come back
04:34It's a man
04:52Your father.
05:05I'm sorry, Titch.
05:22I'm sorry, Titch.
05:52What are you doing?
06:22A lie. This family doesn't exist.
06:26I'm sorry, Titch.
06:28I'm sorry.
06:30I'm sorry.
06:32I'm sorry.
06:34I'm sorry.
06:36I'm sorry.
06:38I'm sorry.
06:46It's like I can't see.
06:48I can't see.
06:50Let us take a little walk, George Washington Black.
06:54I've always loved this walk.
07:08Mother and I did it often.
07:10A refuge for both of us away from father and my brothers.
07:14I was never the same after her death.
07:20So often I wish I'd left with her.
07:23For Asma spoke of a belief you lot possess,
07:26that you will go back home once you're dead.
07:29Do you believe it?
07:32Do you believe it?
07:34My elders believe.
07:38I'm never the same.
07:51This is the place.
07:57This is the place.
08:03We're almost the same, you and I.
08:06As ridiculous as that may seem.
08:09Both under Erasmus' boot.
08:13Both of us slaves to his charity.
08:16Both without real family.
08:20Perhaps I burden you unduly.
08:23People are cruel.
08:24And that cruelty crushes those like us to nothingness.
08:31Leaving us alive only enough to scream the entire time.
08:36A life of unending pain.
08:45Shall I set you free, Washington?
08:48Wouldn't you be grateful if I sent you on your exodus?
08:54No.
09:06I wish I had your bravery as a child.
09:08Know this, boy.
09:18Tej will hurt you.
09:23This won't go well for you after.
09:25Hey, son.
09:41The way to that pain
09:42is like the devil on your back.
09:46You can't shoot it.
09:49Stab it or
09:50punch it.
09:53You can only try
09:55to let it go.
10:04How?
10:04They'll never touch him again.
10:27maybe...
10:33…
10:34It's good.
10:35It's in my hand.
10:36It's in my hand.
10:37Okay, Lord.
10:38You can also...
10:38I'll just check in on you.
11:03Is there any word from Edwin about the hunters?
11:06He's still letting his network know to keep eyes out.
11:09Those hunters move?
11:10He'll find out soon enough.
11:12The network?
11:14All this safe room?
11:18There's so much about Halifax I didn't know.
11:21Last stop for people coming north for freedom.
11:26Sometimes we have to hide those people from the monsters who come chasing us.
11:31Hmm.
11:34Did someone else do this before Medwin?
11:37John.
11:40Yes, that's John.
11:44He wasn't always the man you know today.
11:50Sometimes Medwin blames himself.
11:53Thinks he could have done something different.
11:55When Medwin first stepped off the ferry, John was like the mayor of this town.
12:07He took Medwin in.
12:11You got any work yet?
12:15Place to lay your head?
12:17Oh, it's your business either way.
12:19Go see Marston on the docks.
12:23First pier.
12:24He'll get you started.
12:26Why does Marston be so inclined to do that for me?
12:29My wife, she always say folk gotta take care of folk.
12:33So, I do.
12:35This is a good town.
12:36Make you some coin.
12:38And when you need a room, I run the boarding house.
12:41Buy you one?
12:42No.
12:43I don't touch that stuff.
12:44But thank you.
12:49You ain't got nobody, do you?
12:52I don't need nobody.
12:55Well, you in the right place to fix that.
12:59Name's John.
13:06Payday at the docks tomorrow.
13:08I want you to handle it without me this week.
13:10Gather those late rents while that cash is still hot.
13:14I can't do this forever.
13:16Folks is always gonna need someone to lean on.
13:17I never did.
13:20Thank you, proper.
13:23You getting sentimental on me now?
13:25Means the world, John.
13:26Where you look after me.
13:28Where you looked after everybody coming north.
13:32Always gotta have somebody watching out for folk.
13:36Keep an eye on that door.
13:38Keep that wolf from sneaking in back, tearing us all apart.
13:43Might be it's your turn, Nix.
13:44We're getting sentimental now.
13:49Besides, you can't quit watching until we get your family up here.
13:53Oh, you're all my family.
13:57That'll keep my heart until they get up here.
13:58They're gone.
14:15Slave patrols set bloodhounds after them.
14:18They ran in the river, and they never came out.
14:21My Anna.
14:23I used to be able to feel her hand on my heart.
14:30And my baby girl, Ellie.
14:34Madeline, she weren't but knee high when I come north.
14:36She seemed to be able to peel off my heart.
14:40My baby.
14:42My baby.
14:43Please.

15:34This is your room now.
15:52Don't you judge me, boy.
16:01Now, hold on one second.
16:17Goddamn you, John.
16:20Look like you cleaned us out.
16:36So what it gonna be, John?
16:39Looking out for folks?
16:42Or you gonna drown in that.
17:12Baby, what's wrong?
17:18I can help.
17:19I can help.
17:21I'm still me, man.
17:25You see that, right?
17:27I'm still me!
17:29Father.
17:30Why are you late?
17:31I simply wasn't ready in town, Father.
17:32Please forgive me.
17:33Dozen of your freshest oysters.
17:34Yes, sir.
17:35Mr. Gough?
17:36Yes.
17:37The Royal Science League.
17:38I found your book captivating.
17:39Well, join us, please.
17:40I'd be honoured.
17:41Are you a fellow marine biologist?
17:42I wish I were talented enough to be a scientist like you.
17:43No, no.
17:44My associate and I are involved in an investigation.
17:45Oh, look.
17:46There he is now.
17:47Is this your daughter?
17:48Yes, it is.
17:49Time out.
17:50Let me introduce you to, uh...
17:51The Royal Science League.
17:52The Royal Science League.
17:53I found your book captivating.
17:54Well, join us, please.
17:55I'd be honoured.

18:16Time out.
18:17Time out.
18:18Let me introduce you to, uh...
18:19What did you say your name?
18:20The lady puts me in mind of a rumour filling the sidewalks and streets this fine evening.
18:25Apparently.
18:26A white woman claiming the study bioluminescence was out in a rowboat along the cove with a black boatman.
18:34The very heights of impropriety.
18:37Can you imagine?
18:39No, I cannot.
18:42What?
18:44And this black boatman...
18:47I wonder.
18:49You must know where we might find him for a nice boat ride.
19:01Good night to you both.
19:03Father.
19:04This is London all over again, isn't it?
19:18I will not have it, Tanner.
19:22Father.
19:23Please let me explain about last night.
19:25Tanner.
19:26Tanner.
19:27Please.
19:28Listen.
19:29After your mishaps in London, whispers began.
19:30Doors closed.
19:31I was ostracized from certain circles, and the financial impact of that was not long in coming.
19:52It was a crushing impact.
19:54Your marriage to McGee is vital to our survival.
20:03Our survival?
20:04Yes.
20:05Our coffers are depleted to the degree that we are now solely reliant upon Mr. McGee's generosity.
20:17Father, I beg of you.
20:18This is our last and final option.
20:23The engagement announcement has already been printed in today's newspaper.
20:27We cannot back out now.
20:38Then I will better wait.
20:42Good girl.
20:48Engaged to be married?
21:18To Mr. McGee?
21:21Same one who owned the docks.
21:29So it's true.
21:31Why couldn't she tell me?
21:32People often have a hard time accepting their own truths.
21:37We never had a chance, did we?
21:44I should have listened to you and Medwin.
21:49Jack.
22:08What do you want me to do with this?
22:09Burn it.
22:12Burn it.
22:18It's Angie.
22:33I didn't expect a delivery today.
22:35That's not why I'm here, Miss Tanner.

25:15because I chose to stop hiding it
25:17to be myself

27:52What?
27:53It's time to go, Jack.
27:57What?
27:58Them hunters, they're about close enough to smell you.
28:15Medwin got a new plan.
28:16He needs you.
28:17Come on, now.
28:24Where does that go?
28:26Somewhere safe.
28:31Watch your head.
28:32Yes.
28:34Come on, is this up ahead?
28:45Come on, come on, come on.
28:46Come on, let's go.
28:47What is this, John?
28:48Where's Medwin?
28:49What?
28:50Where's Medwin?
28:51What?
28:52What?
28:53No.
28:54No.
28:55No.
28:56No.
28:57No.
28:58No.
28:59No.
29:00John, where are we?
29:01John, where are we?
29:07Come on.
29:08Come on.
29:09Come on.
29:10Come on, now.
29:14Where's Medwin?
29:15Where's Medwin?
29:16Where's Medwin?
29:17Where's Medwin?
29:21What?
29:22What?
29:23What?
29:24What?
29:25What?
29:26John, what?
29:27John!
29:28John, help me.
29:30John, help me.
29:35huh? Where's Medved? John, John help me!
29:54Be useful! Earn your damn coin! Tyler! His company's on the way, right?
30:09With my damn money! You'll get it when he gets here. John, who are they racing for?
30:15Tell me who's coming! John!
30:24It burned right where Erasmus said it would be.
30:49You've grown, Mr. Washington. Why are you doing this?
30:58I'm here to set things right. You didn't think you would get away with murdering a white man, did you?
31:12No, but I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't kill Philip.
31:16You have a date with the hangman, Mr. Washington. Then I will finally close my book. For now, think on this as you ask why.
31:25You're a threat, Mr. Washington. Who you are, is who you desire to be. And such a threat must always be countered.
31:43Hardest.
31:45One more!
31:46One more!
31:55Better.
31:58And the third one. I wouldn't, where'd he go?
32:00I clipped him. Must have crawled out of here.
32:10That there was mine. That's mine. That's mine.
32:13You did this for money?
32:15You're the one who did this! Bringing trouble down on all our heads!
32:18I didn't do what they said to him!
32:19That ain't never mattered! God damn it!
32:22I said, that's mine!
32:25What, you choosing him over me?
32:27You're the one who made a choice!
32:29I'm gonna...
32:33Take this, and get your things out of the church. Go to Miss Angie's shop.
32:37Go on now, island boy!
32:40You gotta go.
32:52That wolf don't always come like you expect.
32:57Sometime he be one of your own.
33:00Sneaking in.
33:02He's like that boy.
33:04Nothing but good in that boy.
33:06No matter, he gone now.
33:07It's just me.
33:08And you.
33:09Right, my wife?
33:10And you know them right boys got some more coin on them?
33:13We take it.
33:15We tell the law that the boy done did this.
33:18And we use that money to fix up the boarding house.
33:21We take care of folks.
33:23That's what we do.
33:24Just like the old days.
33:28Well, it's all right, son.
33:31It's all right.
33:33We've been through a lot, huh?
33:37Yeah.
33:38Let it out.
33:40Come on.
33:41Somebody gotta look out for folk.
33:51Somebody gotta watch that door.
33:54Make sure the wolf don't sneak in the back.
33:57Tear us all apart.
33:59But what if he already here?
34:04He won us.
34:06He won us.
34:25I'm sorry.
34:27I'm sorry.
34:28I...
34:30I...
34:32I...
34:35I get to see them again.
34:38My...
34:39My family.
34:40I'm, my family.
34:41Yeah.
34:48I...
34:56I...
34:57I don't know.
35:27I don't know.
35:57I don't know.
