Featherstone and Idelle ride to Miranda Barlow's house where Billy is writing anti-British rule propaganda, while Ben sits nearby. Billy tells them his plan of rescuing Vane. Featherstone says they don't have time as Vane is being shipped to England tomorrow, but Billy tells him his plan of buying time by trying to force the authorities to try Vane in Nassau. Featherstone hurries back to Miranda's house and tells Billy that Vane is to be executed in the morning. Before Vane's execution, the Court Official tells the crowd that Rogers promised them order and prosperity. Billy has Jacob Garrett position his men in order to try and rescue Vane.
The Court Official calls Vane an animal and an impediment to prosperity. As Billy is about to have Jacob try and start a riot, Vane shakes his head at Billy. The Court Official asks if Vane has any last words. Vane tells the crowd that the authorities fear not just him but the locals as Vane represents a freedom that still may exist in them. A noose is put around Vane's neck and the cart he is standing on is ridden away. Although Vane's neck snaps, he continues to spasm and Billy has Jacob and his men pull on Vane's body to end Vane's suffering. Ben asks Billy why Vane asked them not to intervene and Billy tells him that Vane knew his death was the only way to start the resistance.
