If somehow the twist in this show is that Horace Delaney was actually a bit mad and James’ mother ends up being an actress or something similar it would actually make a bit more sense than Tom Hardy playing a 1/2 British 1/2 Native American man. She played the Indian Princess, which seems like some coincidence since James’ mother is supposedly a member of the Nootka Tribe. The first we see of Lorna is her name written on a playbill that James finds tucked away in his father’s desk. Their conversation concludes with an extremely bold “I want you inside of me,” a statement so forward and preposterous I was convinced that I was actually prepping for our Bachelor write up and watching Corinne and Nick. Helga neither confirms nor denies this assumption and the two appear to begin the groundwork for a beneficial relationship in the future. They have a very peculiar interaction where James is adamant that she has good in her and he can see she has the same eyes as Winter, suggesting that she is her daughter, hence why she doesn’t put her to work. Mistress Helgaįollowing his encounter with Winter, James returns to the whorehouse seeking further answers, both about Winter and the assassin Helga had been seen fraternizing with. She can be seen in the first episode lurking about, but it remains at least a possibility that she is jut a figment of his imagination. She leads James to a ship belonging to the supposed assassin and after James sets it ablaze Winter is oddly absent from the following shot when he returns to the boat. Winter is a 13-year old mulatto girl who comes to see James to warn him that a silver-toothed assassin had come to meet Mistress Helga in regards to his whereabouts. Later in the episode it is confirmed that the gentleman in need of a hit-man was Thorne Geary, Zilpha’s husband. AtticusĪtticus very creatively summons James to come meet him (nothing like a little horse theft between old friends) and is very inquisitive about his time in Africa as well as (surprise, surprise) his father’s debt.Īdditionally we find out that Atticus had sailed with James’ father in the past, but more importantly that a year prior a “man from Leadenhall” had come to see him about killing Horace Delaney. However, the merchant who sold this item has since died and his wife has departed from London. In discussions with Brace, James learns that his father was primarily surviving on “honey beer” towards the end of his life, which happens to coincide with his apparent madness and suggest that this is how he was poisoned. We know he had enough to pay off his son’s (I’m not scared to say it, there is 100% incest occurring here) caretaker, had £200+ to pay off his father’s debts (which is over $200,000 in today’s dollars) and an additional £800 to purchase the Felice Adventurero. We found out that it is in fact diamonds in the pouch that he buried to kick off Episode 1, however it still isn’t clear is the source of his remaining currency. So, with that bit of housekeeping wrapped up let us move on to this week starting with what we learned from James Delaney himself and his interactions with others. It wasn’t the scribe James was peering at, but a ghost just behind him and the scribe was acknowledging these glances, but more of a what the f- is going on moment. Let’s briefly jump back to Episode 1 where there was a series of strange moments between James (Hardy) and the scribe for the East India Company.Īn image posted on the Taboo Reddit cleared up this relationship – in fact there was none.
