Let me tell you a story about a Spaniard named Vazquez.
Captain Teach? We hear you’re takin’ on new men. We’d like to join you. If you please.
And you think your name belongs on that list. Yes, I understand.
Because Henry Avery set his camp here and said, “This is a place for free men.” And because you sailed from here, made this place feared. Because Henry Jennings and Benjamin Hornigold and Sam Bellamy have Nassau life.
The stipends.. create an obligation to follow command in the event of a threat to the island. Captain Flint, as the island’s most able naval tactician, would command our forces on the water, and Charles would captain the militia to defend the land.
Nassau, as I’m sure you recall, lacks the will to form an identity, it is and always has been fragments of an idea, and without identity– an organized defense? Near impossible.
Jack took the Urca de Lima prize. Transported it, secured it. He’s been employing it to provide for Nassau’s defense.
You were the scrawny one… who was trying so desperately to join Charles’ first crew. Flint I can understand, but this is your third partner?
Ah, to a momentous return. A man of your ability and experience will be a most welcome addition to our ranks.
Hey! Wait! Take my– God– God, come on! Come on, come on, please! Ah, God! No. Fuck! Aah!
But then it warms you. And it settles you. It shows you the places you’ve been. Like the people you’ve loved. They’re all there waiting for you. It doesn’t sound so bad. Fuck.
They say the worst of it don’t last long. What the water does to you, once it’s got you. It makes you cold, makes you scared. It shows you things. Bad things.
