"Holy Christ! Where the hell have you been?"
Taboo
"I made a fire in your room for the mice."
Taboo
"Are you not ever hungry?"
Taboo
"I ate in the whorehouse."
Taboo
"To qualify as food, it needs to be solid."
Taboo
"I made some coffee... that'll be stone-cold."
Taboo
"Aren't we all?"
Taboo
"Where the hell are you going now?"
Taboo
"Someone has been brought to London to try and kill me."
Taboo
"I want to speak to them and ask them why."
Taboo
"Clean it."
Taboo
"I'm off-duty. I have a wound in my left shoulder."
Taboo
"- A bullet wound? - A splinter..."
Taboo
"So I should call you comrade?"
Taboo
"We shall see."
Taboo
"but I'm pursuing him through his chemicals."
Taboo
"They said you were a doctor."
Taboo
"A sheep is a sheep, but also meat and wool."
Taboo
"This is my pastime... fixing colours in cloth."
Taboo
"So you are three things, yes?"
Taboo
"You are a doctor..."
Taboo
"you are a merchant..."
Taboo
"and you are a spy."
Taboo
"I will have to ask you to leave at the point of a gun."
Taboo
"A man who called himself Colonay."
Taboo
"Uh-huh."
Taboo
"Not yet in Hell?"
Taboo
"No, Ponta Delgada and the Azores."
Taboo
"Similar."
Taboo
"You should know the wound in the shoulder is no longer used by us as a signal. No?"
Taboo
"No, we change the codes when we think that perhaps"
Taboo
"the scum British have overtaken it."
Taboo
"And you do not trust the name Colonay?"
Taboo
"What do you want?"
Taboo
"That name means nothing."
Taboo
"But it will to the President and his representatives,"
Taboo
"The border between the United States and Canada is being drawn up"
Taboo
"in a very... quiet... closed room, no?"
Taboo
"You see, I have something of great value to your nation."
Taboo
"Something the British are trying to kill me for."
Taboo
"And what?"
Taboo
"You seek protection?"
Taboo
"I have demands."
Taboo
"Demands?"
Taboo
"You tell Carlsbad my name."
Taboo
"And who's Carlsbad? Carlsbad is the head"
Taboo
"of the American Society of Secret Correspondence in London."
Taboo
"I know that name, because Colonay told me it."
Taboo
"He was drunk."
Taboo
"He was trying to push his jelly up a whore."
Taboo
"Carlsbad will know my name and know my business."
Taboo
"I'm afraid you've used the wrong words."
Taboo
"Get out."
Taboo
"Just keep walking."
Taboo
"We are an angry nation."
Taboo
"Yeah."
Taboo
"I'm counting on it."
Taboo
"Good day."
Taboo
"I intend to begin by reading your father's last will and testament,"
Taboo
"and then I shall try to reason with his creditors."
Taboo
"Have you decided yet what you will do with Nootka?"
Taboo
"Yes, I will use it for trade. With whom?"
Taboo
"There are only savages at Nootka. Then I will trade with them."
Taboo
"I hear you bought a ship. I did,"
Taboo
"then I discovered that it was formerly used for carrying slaves."
Taboo
"it was once owned by the Honourable East India Company."
Taboo
"The shackles were all cast in London."
Taboo
"- East India don't deal slaves. - No, no, they don't."
Taboo
"But they do run cloth and trade beads to Tangiers"
Taboo
"with the Scarfe family,"
Taboo
"and then slaves to Trinidad..."
Taboo
"from Bunce Island..."
Taboo
"through Spanish privateers."
Taboo
"For one with such close connections, I am surprised that you don't know."
Taboo
"And what connections are they?"
Taboo
"Mr. Thoyt..."
Taboo
"you have been my father's lawyer for the past 40 years."
Taboo
"And in all that time, you reported every detail"
Taboo
"of his most intimate business to his enemies at the East India Company."
Taboo
"You are their whore."
Taboo
"The same as almost everyone else in this city,"
Taboo
"apart from those who are actually labelled a whore."
Taboo
"When you left London, the East India was a trading company."
Taboo
"Now it is God Almighty."
Taboo
"No government in the world dares to stand up to it."
Taboo
"It owns the land, the ocean, the fucking sky above our heads."
Taboo
"It has more men and weapons and ships"
Taboo
"than all the Christian nations combined."
Taboo
"You think all who submit are evil."
Taboo
"No."
Taboo
"We are submitting to the way the world has become."
Taboo
"All the good men in London..."
Taboo
"who fight them are washed up at Tilbury."
Taboo
"They could hold a congress."
Taboo
"Or perhaps they could simply board a ship and sail to Boston,"
Taboo
"where the Company dare not go."
Taboo
"So..."
Taboo
"you'll add treason to the list?"
Taboo
"The King and Company after your head."
Taboo
"It's all rabble... pitch makers, carpenters."
Taboo
"They feel deeply aggrieved and talk of seizures."
Taboo
"I'm not being at all fanciful when I ask if you are armed."
Taboo
"I am armed."
Taboo
"There he is! Shame on you!"
Taboo
"Let the man through!"
Taboo
"Where's the money, Delaney?!"
Taboo
"Gentleman! You are all here,"
Taboo
"subsequent to a written notice of Horace Delaney's death."
Taboo
"with the division straight after."
Taboo
"I said straight after!"
Taboo
"Shut up! Let them get on with it."
Taboo
"We've waited long enough."
Taboo
"Mr. Delaney died a widower."
Taboo
"He is survived by two children, both present at this division."
