- Flint's part of the last dialog between Silver and him, and in my eyes the most staggering speech i've ever heard in series or film or whatsoever.
Uplaoding the full dialog soon. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

Man this show was so underrated, they should of got awards, all of them the actors, the writers, the film crew.
Best TV show ever, after GoT, Black Sails is a Masterpiece! It will remain in our hearts forever :) Big Thanks to everyone involved, you created something truly special!
@Greg Werszner GoT was great until the show moved beyond Martin's source material. Now it's just good. As a cohesive whole, Black Sails is superior.
ı agree bro
Better than Got's final seasons, Got ended the moment George RR martin didn't right the scripts.
@Sasuke Uchiha I strongly disagree. That was one of the most powerful scenes of the entire show.
The way that Flint's expression drops when Silver interrupts him is honestly heartbreaking.
Exactly, and it is the first time he shows such sadness in the entire series
@StevieWho He conveys more emotion with a facial twitch than most actors can with their entire bodies.
You can practically see the light go out in his eyes. Extraordinary acting.
His expression doesn’t even change a bit. Stop with the circle jerk
@@jackbauer7684 i guess you're blind
Flint: All this will be for nothing. We will have been for nothing. Defined by their histories. Distorted to fit into their narrative. Until all that remains of us are the monsters in the stories they tell their children.
Silver: I don't care.
Flint: You will. Someday you will. Someday... even if you can persuade her to keep you, she'll no longer be enough. And the comfort will grow stale. And casting about in the dark for some proof that you mattered and finding none you'll know; that you gave it away. In this moment, on this island. Left it in the ground, along with that chest.
This scene had some of the best writing I've ever seen on television.
And the most beautiful thing... Flint is right!
While Silver is used to lying his way out of everything so he assumes that everybody does it...
Flint had rage, yes, but mostly purpose!
Years later what Flint said would become reality and Silver would chase his past in Treasure Island ^^
Really clever and beautiful writing!
Stunning foreshadowing for the events of the novel.
Agreed. After all, history is written by those who are victorious.
@@aerisriddle9258 Hope they do a spinoff/continouing.
@Danii Decay He let his cock do his thinking.
The best tv show I've seen. Totally underrated sadly.
Spartacus, Black Sails, Gomorra Suburra the best shows ever
Yes!
No golden globe nomination for Toby Stevens for this season. Fucking criminal. But woo hoo Big Bang Theory and Modern Family! such intricate and complex storytelling about the human condition right?!
Travis Fimmell was robbed too, his portrayal of Ragnar is beyond epic.
The best shows are always the ones no one hears about. The ones where more effort has gone into making the show than advertising it.
Fuck all awards they usually award only mainstream nonsence.
GIVE HIM THE AWARDS!!!!!
Today like yesterday, they paint the world full of shadows. Nothing has changed.
This is the best scene of all Black Sails in my opinion. In fact one of the best scenes I can even remember. It's just so well done. The words are touching to the soul and the screenplay is as authentic as it gets. The scene is truly heartbreaking in the sense that this is a heartbroken Flint who does his final plead before his closest friend. He knows that this is it. Both Toby Stephens and Luke Arnold are really performing the episode of their lives. Damn well ending of a fantastic series. I do really hope they do their own take of Treasure Island with flashbacks to Black Sails so Flint can be more incorporated to the story.
The way his eyes light up when he says 'freedom'.
Yes, best scene and best speech in all of Hollywood! I've heard that the Showrunners wanted to eventually come back to this and tell the story of Treasure Island ten years after Black Sails. Well, I don't know if that's true, but it's been nine years since the beginning of Black Sails and 6 years since it ended.
his facial expressions when he starts with "in the dark there is discovery".. so full of hope and dreams!
After everything he went thru and done to get to where he was at that moment . Hope and anger was the only thing keeping the man alive
You can see a faint spark of life in his eyes when he says the word "freedom". Even though his war on England was ultimately suicidal, I have no doubt that Flint was sincere in his goal to free the New World.
This speech is staggering because it is true in this day as much as it was (fictionally) then. There are no Dragons, only the ones made up by men who control the world. Great upload. Thank you!!
Sven Land My mind exactly :) !
Not "fictionally then". It's how the world has always been, ever since the ancients. All throughout history and modern times you see people blindly following their kings and leaders, buying the bs, propaganda, and lies that comes out of their mouths, going to war just for the greed.
That's why I choose the pirates life.
The world has never been so safe, yet nobody has ever been so scared of danger
@@gauvainmalefant9873 We have been controlled long before the Pharaohs of Egypt. We've been controlled like sheep. And 99.9% of the population does not know. The world you live in now, is just a bigger pasture to make you think you have freedom. True freedom lies within. And that has been subdued for 1000's of years
@@APiratesLife Fictional or not, do we really know if Captain flint was real? Who knows, but the story still tells the same story. And it's put right in front of eyes everyday. Humanity behind the scenes has been fighting for truth for ever, but the sheeple of the world hush you up like a child in church to keep you from the truth.
one of Flint's best speeches by far. It just inspires and motivates me to do something with my life. "They paint the world full of shadows and then tell their children to stay close to the light because in the darkness, there be dragons."
THE WRITING.
Just how Flints eyes get a small spark back in them when he says freedom is astonishing. Throughout his entire speech he just looks so dead inside until he says that word. It’s like he was brought back to life for the slightest moment. The is the best acting I have ever seen in a tv show.
Except at every chance he squandered that hope in favor of bloodshed for anyone whom he believed was a threat to him. I love the Flint character but for all his flowery speeches he was not a man committed to change. His true motivation was to punish England for what happenend to Thomas, Miranda and himself.
@@disgraced101 But he would have changed the world in the process. Yes, his reasons were selfish, but the outcomes might have been glorious!
@Adam elle Agree to disagree. Near the end of the series, that ugly almost Ahab-like obsession reared its head again. Maybe he did feel somewhat justified by his sudden role of a would-be liberator or Abolitionist but don't forget he didn't really have a care about Slaves in general in the initial part of the series. He just accepted them as a way of the World he lived in and only saw the Maroons as unfortunately...more bodies for the Wars to come. England was his white whale, Nassau was going to be his shrine to Thomas and Miranda and the cache (of the Urca gold) was his ticket to fuel further actions against his hated enemies. My opinion of him changed mainly because of Mardi and how he had made his war her war and was willing to sacrifice her no matter what Silver his best friend (arguably) wanted. Mind you, I don't hate Flint, but its hard to root for a man so blinded by rage and hatred dressing it up with romantic notions of freedom and equality when at the end of the day, all he wanted was to get back at England and perhaps all of Civilization as a whole. But that's why his character is so damn fascinating. I'm a conservative, straight minority guy. The reveal of Flint's background was a bit of a shocker to me but it was tastefully done. Look past his sexuality, and this is a man scorned by the world for what his was and was "punished" for it. And he wanted to punish the world back, no matter the cost.
Ugh so underrated. Toby deserved all the awards in the world he's just sublime
I just finished this show for the first time, and i gotta say it's absolutely criminal that these guys didn't get Emmys. The acting in this show is amazing
This scene is so much better knowing flints initial resentment towards himself for his love for Thomas hamilton. The "darkness" with its discovery and possibility and freedom i feel flint speaks of his love for Thomas and he's fighting to make it socially acceptable in his time. AMAZING acting
Dear goodness I've watched this show 6 times and still I'm loosing it on this scene. This series is an emotional roller coaster, flawless, powerful, beautiful 'til the maximum peak that a tv production can reach. Everytime I think about how it's underrated in my country (and generically speaking, in the world) I cry. Damn is even hard to find some merchandising or cosplayers. I just...can't get why. Why it's not famous, why people seems not able to appreciate graphic beauty and poetry in dialogues, nor in old times, nor nowadays.
Ok, well. Let me go back to watch it for the 7th time.
Finished watching the season today. I loved this confrontation. And I loved how they tied all of Black Sails show to the book. And especially loved the token appearance of Mark (Mary) Reed in the end.
I would love if same crew of developers made new mature Treasure Island movie taking in the account everything from Black Sails.
We can only hope! A one-off mini-series or movie telling the Treasure Island story with these characters we know and love would be perfect.
Couldn’t watch what comes next, Toby as Flint grounded and defined this series and as a result has ruined what comes next, Treasure Island has no Flint...............so I’m out.
This scene explains everything about what’s happening to the public now.
Flint has had some wonderful quotes throughout the seasons of black sails, but this one, bloody hell this one beats all of them hands down!!
No show is perfect and black sails certainly has it's flaws, but it baffles me that post-season 4 GoT still gets nominated for every year for best drama and best writing (lol) at the Emmy's, and is generally considered the best show on Tv.
Whilst this show gets nominated for.a few costume awards and that's it. Absolute disgrace. This scene should've won every award possible, the whole last season of Black Sails and especially the ending, was some of the best Tv I've ever seen.
It just shows how linked to popularity awards are even when they're chosen by supposed experts on the topic.
Such a shame stars is so obscure, it didn't help too that the 1st season can be quite a drag if you're going weekly. It's great on re-watch because you know the characters and are invested, but for a new viewer it can be a bit dull. Season 2,3 and 4 are just on a whole other level to the first, but I imagine many don't push through season 1 to get there
:(
It's a show that'll get better as years go by. If this show was on HBO instead of Starz it would be hailed as a classic no doubt.
I just finished watching the series and as a new viewer I loved s1 to bits, the way they introduced the Nassau and built the world was amazing
I genuinely don't think there has been a larger jump in quality between seasons of a show than Black Sails S1 to S2. Season 1 is pretty good, a decent way to waste a bit of your time. Season 2 is some of the most astounding television of the decade, and the best writing since HBO's Rome. Season 3 is, somehow, even better.
I get why people don’t like season 1 but I really enjoyed it, the other seasons were better sure but I personally loved the 1st season, black sails as a whole is one of my all time favourite shows and i only started watching over a year ago and have rewatched over and over, only reason I didn’t watch it sooner was because of how underrated it is, a mate of mine told me about it and asked me to give it a watch and on the first episode I was hooked
@@zerostriker6385 it’s because people don’t like slow yes it was slower but the writing and introduction to characters was amazing and I loved season 1, were the other seasons better yes but to say season 1 is bad like many do is just blatantly false
Some dialogues and speeches were genius and remarkable, like in no other show! After episodes I would stop and think about them for a while!
Toby Stephens aka cpt Flint has had some fantastic speeches throughout the series & here's another one, I honestly can't understand why this show has been so underrated, great writing, great cast & great crew, far as I'm concerned it's a lost to them & it's a bonus for us!
#blacksailswillneverdie
He's so tired
fernanda augusta I would be too after going through so much
Season 4 of Black Sails was an all time peak for television.
I know I'm a late comer to the series. I came across some random guy's review of it and blasted out the whole series in less than two weeks. As someone who really loves and values characters, plot and internal drama - it's one of the best series I've ever seen. It boggles my mind that NO ONE ever thought to make this before. Maybe stuff like Game of Thrones ushered it in, maybe shows like that showed that audiences might be ready for a show as brutal and harsh as this, but I don't think even GoT can hold a candle to this marvelous show. Some of the best acting, emotional moments and drama from any show I've ever seen, a show I will recommend all my friends to watch because it's just SO GOOD. To those of you who want to try and get other people to watch it, pitch it like this: 'Imagine if Pirates of the Caribbean and Game of Thrones were put together.' BAM.
@Ali Chaudry I just finished aswell, best show ever!
listen very closely when he says "there is freedom" - the soundtrack changes into something that sounds like the braveheart theme - i refuse to believe this is coincidence
In a way, the pirates of Nassau were the precursors to the Colonial Patriots who rebelled against the British Empire for freedom and independence from their harsh cruelty.
Harsh cruelty isn't exactly true. History Isn't black and white.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. It was sort of the inspiration for the American Revolutionary War, where they get independence from England.
toby stephens is leagues ahead of some of the biggest actors today, but gets no recognition. you can tell he's the son of maggie smith.
Black Sails and Vikings - 2 completely underrated TV shows
A lot of people watch Vikings, Black sails on the other hand is super underrated and is hardly known.
Such a perfect written and brilliantly acted show.
I get chills every time I hear the monologues, and the really powerful speeches the main characters give (Charles Vane's death scene for example).
I wish they gave this show so much more recognition.
UUUUUGH THE WRITING/DIALOGUE/ACTING IT HURTS SOOO MUCH
This is the best series ever! Period.
@gerard sullivan I initially watched the first episode, didn't like it and stopped. Came back after a couple of months. So glad I gave it another shot. It's sensational!
@gerard sullivan yes! The beginning is a bit slow, I convinced my dad to watch it and made sure he got through season 1. 2 episodes into season 2 and hes totally hooked! I'm so excited for him to watch the rest, its such a fantastic story
It's incredible how after all these years, this speech gives me some kind of hope, especially in difficult time.
"I unmade him"
and this was the last time flint was alive...also the last time a show made a character gray and at the lowest point, we understood his reasons and many of us supported him in killing every single man standing in his way (beside breaking bad). Not like other show wich I'm not going to mention, in wich a character burned an entire city named "King's Landing" without any reason at all. Fuck you D&D for making such a poor ending...and the worst part is that GoT will land many awards just because of the brand and the name, while shows like this won't. This is to me, on the same level as Vikings and it ended well enough, while Vikings had a poor season 5 and has to find a way to end well or it would be another typical case that will prove that tv shows are amazing to create worlds and characters but not a story that can end well.
I have the feeling this Series is made to tell you a lot of things about the World.
Just a little pice here. A little pice there.
But when you just listen carefull the whole 4 Seasons you will see the World with different Eyes after that.
I do not know only one Movie or Series who can say the same about his self.
There are many:
- Star Trek: The Next Generation; Deep Space Nine
- Berserk (the original series, and the manga)
- Psycho Pass
- Shin Sekai Yori (translates to: From the New World)
- The Mentalist
- Prison Break (especially the first two seasons)
- Ghost in the Shell (the original movie, the second movie, as well as Stand Alone Complex )
This guy is just one awesome actor!!!
The most heartbreaking part is that they are both right in their own way. You can see the solid reasoning in both their perspectives, and you want both to be true. But in the end you know only one can come out on top and you have to kill a little piece of yourself to live with that one side that wins out.
I love this scene so much. Flint is right, obviously, powerful people use and create fear and doubt to keep others in the fold, and it's important to challenge them regularly. But Silver is just as right that trying to dispel that fear and doubt at literally ANY cost is insanity, because there's a point where uncontrolled 'progress' just means that there'll never be peace and people won't be able to live real lives anymore, which defeats the point. It's such an eloquent and powerful moment of investigating the concept of ideology and when it goes too far and needs to be put in check.
Watching it again after years...
The ending of this show was underrated. It had awesome action, brilliant performances, catharsis with the fall of Rogers, hope that things will get better in Nasau, set-up for the the book and seeing Flint fighting Silver was so conflicting. I loved it. Though of course, I wish that they'd instead decided to continue the war.
This speech is so prevalent right now....
lifechanging, listening to a bisexual character give this speech
Why... Why in the fuck does that matter? I don't think it changed anything.
@@TheStraightestWhitest bro did you even watch the show? His sexuality is a big part of his motivation and character lol. It's obviously related to what he's talking about here
@@epileptictrees5213 No it isn't. His relationship with Thomas is, but that has nothing to do with Thomas being a man. Had Thomas been a woman, the story would have been identical. They could never have been together either way. An already married noble child of an extremely strict father with a soldier?
Man or woman, it would've changed nothing. And it was the "murder" of the one he loved and with whom he was working with towards ending piracy in the most peaceful and diplomatic way that caused his shift in character, his motivation for becoming Captain Flint. The name also came from a story that had zilch to do with his sexuality. As we see, the death of Miranda causes a similar shift in character again. He held true to Thomas' purpose even after what he believed was his death. Meanwhile when Miranda died, he dropped it and just wanted England to burn. This again would not have changed. Had Thomas been a woman and Miranda a man, the story would've been the same. Had they both been men, the story would have been the same. Had they both been women, the story would have been the same. It wasn't about their gender, it was about their aligning goals in which they were alone besides each other, and about their love.
God am I glad the writers didn't think the way you did. The story would've been ruined. I'm so glad they actually wrote a good bisexual character for once, one where they wrote him as a human first and a man who could love both men or women second. Can you imagine having your sexual preference define you and the entire story? Sad life.
Once someone has illuminated it
Very effecktive video...thank you. I wait you from more Captain Flint videos
Just watching this brings a tear to my eye again... So powerful!
One of the best scenes I've ever seen on screen and the acting by Toby here is absolutely incredible.
I love this show man, epic!
This speech is so actual!
It’s so sad
This episode was the last proof for me that the actor Toby Stephens not only played Capt. Flint but he became Capt. Flint. Just as Johnny Depp became Jack Sparrow (but his character had no development and became uneasy to watch after two movies). The expressions on his face are either some of the most amazing acting I have ever seen or he is speaking what his heart and mind truly feels. This is the only show I know which becomes even better if you rewatch it because of the character development.
As I get older I find myself getting back to that scene quite often. It just seems more and more relevant these days.
prob the best written tv show iv ever seen and so many people dont even know it exists
Most relevant quote for todays society.
That nostril twitch of his is fuckin' infectious, also soul crushing in this seen.
Finished this last night, great ass show man
dialogue in this is just so goood...
One of the best shows of all time! Flint also has to be one of the best written characters i've ever seen.
I am not sure which is sadder here. Fact that people dont know he's actually talking about illuminism, or the fact that even today in 2024 there are people which hate enlightenment and illuminism and liberalism and just prefer the old world order. Which is so well explained here.
Last part of Black Sails is awesome. Awesome ending.Awesome acting. My favorite movie about World order. Dispite several absurds into all 4 seasons ... movie it definetly worth to watch it
its a series not a movie
Religion in a nutshell.
YES!
Religion, politics, the mainstream media, every instance of influential power over people in the history of the world.
This show had sych a deep characterization!!! Amazing!!!
It pains me that this show didnt blow up as much as it should've. The writing of season 4 is easily on par with GoT's early seasons.
1:10 "You're not talking your way out of this one."
Flint and Silver were the two most manipulative characters on the show, and they knew each other's tricks. Silver tries to play dumb with Flint earlier in this scene but Flint just tells him to stop because he knows he's been betrayed.
This is what I hate so much about Silver. He is so arrogant and ignorant and selfish in this scene, and he just decides to end Flint for mundane reasons. Of course, years later he finds out that Flint was right, which is making this scene even better than it already is.
Governments and men who desire to control others have always and will always attempt to perpetrate this. They want you scared, unwilling, dependent, on them. Creativity is dangerous, innovation could lead to disaster, individuality is not good for your fellow man, freedom is a negative thing.
That is what they would have you believing.

We would let you venture out into the dark, but we wouldn't want you to become a dragon...now would we?
Black Sails had spectacular writing and acting to the end and kept getting better but never got any recognition. Then somehow Game of Thrones farts out the most trash season of tv ever and wins all the awards.
Now better than last season of GOT. :)
This fits perfectly for the democratic party.
A free country, the home of the brave, but at the same time censors speech and shuns true bravery.
Damn that was one hell of a speech I gotta say I hated Flint form a long but this made he characters ark worth everything
Please help! What's the music in the background?
ah
If Flint had his war, would he have won against the British empire?
Not by a long shot, he might annoy them for a while but that's it
Not a chance in Hell, and that's what makes it even more tragic IMO. He was so desperate to begin something that was doomed from the start, because he was so consumed by it utterly.
if he truly managed to rally the slaves against it, if he could free enough of them, all the colonies in the america as he said... he might have, but who knows
The heartbreaking thing is that everything Flint and Madi talked about and tried to warn Silver about ended up happening in real life. After pirate rule was kicked off and Nassau retaken by the British, Nassau greatly grew and expanded and basically became many slave plantations. Nassau becomes Madi's worst nightmare. There were some freed slaves, but the idea that people like Max did not like using slaves is inaccurate (and possibly hinted at by the show, I mean Max was willing to replicate her father's horrible slave plantation world, as long as she had her peace inside her own house, she said so herself, so she would probably have ended up as an ex-slave that owned slaves, which happened in Nassau.) We have to remember that the southern colonies, like Georgia, S & N Carolina areas, were not well established at all at this point, and if Flint had enough men to sack Boston, which had a heavy British military presence, then he definitely had a great chance of taking over parts of the Caribbean and at least some of the Southern States. The whole idea was not if Flint could do it with the forces he commands when he and Silver have their last conversation, but how many people in the states he would have been able to convince in the 1730's to establish their own government. I'm thinking quite a few. All the states did it only 40 years later. Nassau, however, remained under British rule and remained a huge slavery plantation, for another 30 years after the states won independence and slavery was pretty much outlawed in the Northern states.
Ironic thing is Flints idea of independence and revolution eventually did happen in 1775 in the American Revolutionary War where the 13 colonies won their independence from Great Britain.
Please the name of the music of this scene???
There's someone who published most of the soundtracks of season 4; maybe you will find it there. czcams.com/video/m450DE7_nGs/video.html
Any luck on the song during this speech?
So underrated it was so much better than GOT. I m still waiting on the spin off with Jack Rackham, Anne Bonnie and Lou Reed🤩
better than game of thrones
This is one the best mologues ive ever seen small or big screens...and thats why my theory is that the ending is all a fairytale silver painted afraid to admit the truth,that he killed flint...no way flint would let england have it their way with his cooperation
F..k Silver why do that
True and recycled by the thugs in all moments in history.
subtitles ruin it
Flint >>>>>>>>>>>>> Melisandre
When did Melisandre ever say anything nearly as impactful as this? :D
Look at what they have done to him on the show Lost in Space disgusting.
Let me guess. He's the father and he's stupid, cowardly, and totally incompetent at everything but breathing while his Dr. Wife is brilliant, brave, and completely indispensable.
Exactly! How has this happened to men? I like to blame Disney and Kathleen Kennedy but I know there are many many more to blame. I want to write more but I realize that I will get attacked across multiple platforms, apps, court rooms, and board rooms, etc.
Clint Allen Wait whaaat!? He's the best character on the show imo.
manu mainio Yes he is but they made him too
weak.
TheScholar74 Not in the slightest... He's brave, strong and has a complex relationship with his kids and wife. He also saves all of them on multiple occasions. The show had it's flaws but feminist agenda wasn't one of them.
