"We can leave now. No. We will haunt this nigger to justice!"
Taboo
"He's already haunted."
Taboo
"Come."
Taboo
"Be sure of this, Delaney!"
Taboo
"That legacy is your death sentence!"
Taboo
"Out of my way!"
Taboo
"I must have order in order to continue!"
Taboo
"I dug new foundations for that old bastard..."
Taboo
"The son does not inherit the debts of the father."
Taboo
"James Delaney has declared a new trading company in his own name."
Taboo
"And my father's debts amounted to a sum total of £215 and 17 shillings."
Taboo
"Mr. Thoyt will pay each one of you exactly what you are due,"
Taboo
"but you will form an orderly line."
Taboo
"You will form an orderly line."
Taboo
"Orderly!"
Taboo
"I didn't expect that. He's a better man than his father."
Taboo
"Hurry up!"
Taboo
"At least he's sorting his father's debts."
Taboo
"What I'm owed isn't in that pile of coins..."
Taboo
"since I'm not listed on the final division notice."
Taboo
"You see? The old skinflint didn't even pay for his whores!"
Taboo
"And what exactly is it that my father owed you?"
Taboo
"He owed me a lifetime of care."
Taboo
"A lifetime of devotion."
Taboo
"He owed me kisses and love."
Taboo
"He owed me a home and a fire and perhaps children some day."
Taboo
"In short, he owed me all that is due from a husband to a wife."
Taboo
"My name is Lorna Delaney, formerly Lorna Bow,"
Taboo
"and, two years ago in Dublin,"
Taboo
"Horace Delaney and I were married."
Taboo
"And I have proof that I am his widow."
Taboo
"I'll have my clerks divide up the silver."
Taboo
"Madam?"
Taboo
"Come to my office."
Taboo
"Calm, pretty, certain, fragrant."
Taboo
"Calm, pretty, certain, fragrant."
Taboo
"This is an Irish document."
Taboo
"It may take a little time to validate."
Taboo
"I can wait."
Taboo
"How would he? He was in Africa."
Taboo
"But he often spoke of you. He was very, very proud."
Taboo
"- Why Dublin? - Well, he was on business."
Taboo
"Yes, but your business is here, isn't it?"
Taboo
"in Covent Garden in a play called The Painted Savage."
Taboo
"I found a programme with an illustration in an empty drawer."
Taboo
"Well, if my likeness was in there, the drawer wasn't empty."
Taboo
"Miss Bow will have a legal claim against his estate"
Taboo
"as widow. Mrs. Delaney is my name."
Taboo
"Bow was the name that I used for the stage."
Taboo
"- Are you a good actress? - Your father thought so."
Taboo
"And was that before or after he lost his mind?"
Taboo
"Well, love is a kind of madness, isn't it, Mr. Thoyt?"
Taboo
"My father was a very sick and old man."
Taboo
"I have letters, many letters professing his feelings for me."
Taboo
"A line from memory is..."
Taboo
""Oh, Lorna, it is in a moment"
Taboo
""that I would leave this cursed house by the river"
Taboo
""and go to the Americas with you and live there, naked and savage,"
Taboo
""and yet, we would have each other and be together.""
Taboo
"That kind of thing."
Taboo
"Do you possess any other documents of his?"
Taboo
"I have letters. Other than letters?"
Taboo
"Well, what kind of documents?"
Taboo
"Well, proof will come from pen and ink."
Taboo
"and request a personal account from the priest. Until then,"
Taboo
"I suggest you two refrain from any further contact with each other."
Taboo
"Well, I have no love for the theatre."
Taboo
"And I spend very little time in German brothels."
Taboo
"Was he in there? The man... did you see him in the room?"
Taboo
"Yeah. It was him that came to the door and was indeed in the room."
Taboo
"He was the one who declared your legacy a death sentence."
Taboo
"- Hmm. - You, er..."
Taboo
"You want him to fall into the river, James?"
Taboo
"No, the river will take him of its own accord."
Taboo
"Here."
Taboo
"tell us of this widow."
Taboo
"Can none of you read?"
Taboo
"Or are you all too busy trying to catch my eye and only pretending"
Taboo
"to read the agenda before stretching your necks again?"
Taboo
"You, what's your name?"
Taboo
"Godfrey, Sir. Well..."
Taboo
""there appeared... an actress.""
Taboo
"An actress."
Taboo
"Who claims to be the widow."
Taboo
"A dispatch arrived from Dublin. The marriage is confirmed"
Taboo
"and is legal."
Taboo
"What is the significance of this, Mr. Godfrey?"
Taboo
"It's not written down. You have to work it out."
Taboo
"Pettifer. Hmm?"
Taboo
"The girl is an opportunity."
Taboo
"Thoyt, tell them the possibilities of this "opportunity"."
Taboo
"She would have a claim against James Delaney for"
Taboo
"shared ownership of Nootka."
Taboo
"Bravo!"
Taboo
"A whore actress to the rescue of the mighty East."
Taboo
"It is not a foregone conclusion. She would need to file suit."
Taboo
"Oh, Mr. Thoyt."
Taboo
"This widow will have sole claim on Nootka"
Taboo
"in the event of James Delaney's death."
Taboo
"An event which may be imminent."
Taboo
"violin virtuoso Nicolas Mori."
Taboo
"Tonight, composer Ludwig van Beethoven's Sixth Symphony."
Taboo
"James, please, don't."
Taboo
"What?"
Taboo
"I missed you. I couldn't bear to see you alone."
Taboo
"Do you know, this is so old, I could even laugh at you?"
Taboo
"And yet you came outside to see me."
Taboo
"Because, otherwise, you would've come to me"
Taboo
"- and made very loud declarations. - I would, yes."
Taboo
"Is it my loudness that troubles you?"
Taboo
"In the forest, no."
Taboo
"In the jungle, no."
Taboo
"You used to straighten your skirt"
Taboo
"and march away like nothing had ever happened."
Taboo
"And thank God you did."
Taboo
"God?"
Taboo
"- This is very simple, James. - Hmm?"
Taboo
"Take away a little ancient history."
Taboo
"there are no practical difficulties."
Taboo
"Apart from that great big river that connects us."
