Season 2
IX

James exits and walks up to the steps of Parliment, asking for Thomas Hamilton. Thomas asks if he's the liasion from the admirilty, and James confirms that he is. The two walk and Thomas explains how the pirate problem on Nassau started. Finding a way to end it is why the two of them are there. Thomas asks why the Navy sent James give the importance of the situation. James is offended, but Thomas explains that he means that James is likely to rise in rank, which would cause concern. James doesn't understand why, although that might be his lack of education. Thomas explains that he wants to save Nassau, but can't do it with someone who is more concerned with their career than their goal. James says that if Thomas wants to save Nassau, then his job will be to make sure Thomas knows what he's getting into.

James and Thomas go down to the docks, and Thomas asks why they're there. James explains that he wants to show Thomas was why piracy continues, and asks if he's ever seen a hanging. Thomas says he hasn't and asks who the man being hung is. James doesn't know, just that he was arrested for piracy and will be hung. Thomas assumes that the reason piracy continues is due to chaos, but James didn't bring Thomas for the hanging, but the masses cheering on the hanging. James explains that civilizations needs monsters. Thomas asks if Whitehall wants Piracy, but James doesn't think so, just that they know the consequences of fighting it. James see's that it's a good idea to remind him that the only thing that stops the world from changing, is everyone else.

As James waits for Thomas to finish talking with some civilians, he is called over by Thomas' wife, Miranda. She says that she envy's James, and remembers what it felt like meeting him for the first time. She called it an indescribable feeling one gets when in the presence of truly great men, a feeling that she suspects James is feeling right now. James would use indescribable, and Miranda asks if he questions Thomas' motives. James doesn't, but he does question the most likely outcome and knows that politics is an unforgiving game.
