Black Sails | XVI.

BLACK SAILS SEASON 2 XVII/XVIII
The danger is simply too great. I have been the subject of enough ridicule and innuendo to know the difference between a little danger and mortal danger, and I’m telling you that what you and Thomas and I face right now is the latter. This isn’t a question of scandal. It isn’t a state of mind. They hang men for this. When they have political motive, they use it as a pretense to hang men. Don’t treat me like I’m someone else!
