“Listen here! When we crest the point ahead and spot the Urca in anchor, we’ll begin our final run at her. The Spanish banner may earn us a few hundred yards of confusion before the captain identifies us and opens fire, so we’ll close fast on her, hammer her well with our guns, and then take the fight to her decks.
That fight will be the fight of our lives, make no mistake. But on the other side, lies paradise.
The ship which was attacked was named the Maria Aleyne. The ship was set upon by Captain Flint and his men. And in the midst of the bloody assault, there was one particular victim, a very important man traveling under an assumed name. His name was Alfred Hamilton.
Given the lengths to which this man had gone to protect himself, the fact that he fell under Captain Flint’s sword… suggested he’d been hunted, pursued, and then executed in cold blood and with great malice aforethought. The motive unclear, but the intent apparently dark and awful, monstrous. [My father] said the act was completely incompatible with civilized society.
I LOVE how Black Sails’ gorgeous lighting highlights Toby’s exquisite cheekbones… his sex appeal’s even more potent the more roughed-up & disheveled he is.
