Black Sails Season 2 Episode 9 Quotes

I can not stand before you and claim to be without sin. When we received that letter from you informing us of Thomas' death, the damage wrought by Alfred Hamilton was too much for us to bear. We were angry, and we allowed that anger to drive us to a dark deed. But I ask you not to judge me by that one deed. Judge me by the ends that I have come here in service of. The redemption of Nassau, in accordance with the principles that you, and I, and she, and Thomas Hamilton committed ourselves to all those years ago.
