Black Sails XXXVI (Starz 19 Mar 2017, with Guy Paul)
In Black Sails XXXVI Flint tells Silver that he truly believes that he and Madi are the key to the survival of Nassau and it’s imperative that she is rescued. Heading out to Nassau, Silver is taking no chances and has secretly brought the cache with them.
In Philadelphia Max is caring for Anne but Anne remains unconvinced of Max’s motives. Anne is determined to leave as soon as she is able and reunite with Jack. Marion Guthrie wants Max to control her interests in Nassau but thinks she needs to be married and she has just the right pliable, wealthy man in mind as a husband. Max turns her down. She refuses to have a man stand in the way of any possible reconciliation she may with Anne.
As Flint and Silver head into Nassau they are perturbed to find another ship waiting in the harbour for them with Rogers, Billy Bones and Madi aboard. They immediately make a show of brutally killing captive pirates. Flint wants to turn the guns on him but Silver overrides his command and insists that the cache is brought up (at this stage Flint doesn’t know it is even aboard) and shown to Rogers. Rogers then hauls up anchor forcing Flint and Silver to follow. It soon becomes apparent they are heading to notorious Skeleton Island.
Flint is determined to make sure that the cache does not fall into Roger’s hands and takes the gems off the boat to bury on Skeleton Island. Israel spots what he is up to and takes the chance to show Silver that Flint needs taking out of the equation. Silver sends his six best men after him with orders to kill him. In the meantime Silver has a parley with Rogers and Bones.
The council on Nassau are growing disturbed at what they see as Roger’s obsession with avenging Eleanor’s death and he will soon have chaos on his hands. Mrs Hudson goes to see the brothel madam, knowing that she has the ears of all the important men left on Nassau. Mrs Hudson also thinks Rogers has become a seriously loose cannon and may need stopping.
