James Flint in every episode:
XIX.  There’ll be no battle today. Our disadvantage is too great. But what price surrender?
To beg forgiveness from a thing that took my woman from me? My friend?
Murdered her, displayed her body for their amusement.
I can walk away from this fight if I just sign my name beneath a solemn oath never again to do violence against it.
No. Not after all it has taken from me. Not after all it has taken from you.
I will do great violence against that thing. They say they will pardon us all, but I say to offer to pardon something one fears is the act of a coward.
To offer them in volume suggests that their fear of us is becoming unmanageable, that we have shown them what we are capable of and it terrifies them.
Do any of you want to surrender to men who fear you? Lay down arms in a battle that we are winning?
Neither do I. Fuck Benjamin Hornigold, his king, and their pardons. This war isn’t nearly over.
