I have a use for you.
Delaney [to Sir Strange]
I will give you all the information you request, but in return, I will need a single meeting with Sir Stuart Strange of the East India Tea Company. Here, in a cell, and in private.
Delaney
Brace: Arsenic is gentle. It was mercy. Horace was no longer a Christian soul. I only wish I'd killed James, too. Give him a kindness, protect him from himself. Instead, they've got him.
Lorna: What do you mean? Where is he?
Brace: They took him to the tower, where no one will be kind enough to feed him arsenic.
Brace, I spoke to a witness. It wasn't James that killed the girl, it was the Company. The East India Company.
Lorna
Godfrey: For God's sake, you don't have a bloody ship!
Delaney: No. Not yet.
Gentleman, we have two witnesses willing to testify that Delaney gave gunpowder to an enemy of the Crown, within the confines of the city of London. That's treason-high treason. We have him-we fucking have him! We have Delaney, we have Nootka, we have the China trade, we have opium, tea, and powder. He'll be cut to pieces.
Strange
Brace: It was a kindness.
Delaney: For who?
Brace: We couldn't go on, James.
Delaney: But you did.
Brace: You were dead: everyone was at his throat. It was burning his own flesh. There was no need to go on. Nothing left to live for.
Delaney: So you did him a kindness.
Brace: I put an end to his pain.
Delaney: You did him a kindness.
Brace: I killed him. You came back too late. For both of us.
I happen to like driving in nails. Takes your mind off the rain, and off of the sinking ship.
Delaney
Lorna: I know you didn't do it.
Delaney: And how would you know that? [grunt] I very well may have.
Lorna: [grunt] You might have done it. I do know you cared for her. You were kind to her-she told me.
