Hornigold's crew deposes him for his refusal to attack English ships, but Edward Thatch remains loyal. Pirate raids on British slavers provoke outrage.

English authorities tap Woodes Rogers to put a stop to pirate attacks. Black Sam Bellamy suffers a cruel fate at the height of his success.

Rogers' campaign begins with the offer of a pardon, which Hornigold and Jennings accept. But not all Nassau pirates agree. Thatch adopts a new image.

Nassau comes under the control of Rogers, and the era of the pirate kingdom comes to a bloody close.
