Oh, then do theInceptionstar, his father Chips, and I have a show for you.
The extended series premiere kicks off with this mysterious man, James Keziah Delaney.
“Dear God, there walks a dead man,” is overheard upon Delaney’s appearance.

Mrs. Geary is especially spooked, considering Delaney’s weird behavior and the fact that he’s her brother.
“They said you were dead,” she confronts him.
“I am,” he ominously replies.
Waiting outside for Delaney is his father’s lawyer, Thoyt.
The man has good news and bad news.
“Just rocks and Indians.”
One of them, Mr. Wilton offers an entertaining and informative report for the men (and viewers!)
on Delaney’s background.
The Delaney welcome home tour continues as he returns to his actual childhood home.
And he’s greeted by something he hasn’t seen in a whilesomebody who is happy to see him!
It’s his family butler, Brace, who he shares an embrace and a drink.
It turns out Nootka is the name of his mother’s tribe.
His father bought both his wife and land from them in exchange for gunpowder.
The night ends with Delaney having a troubling vision that is definitely not the result of too much brandy.
She tries to make a deal, whether it to be financial, sexual, or by threat.
“hey do not misunderstand the situation.
You send me 12 men, I will return you 12 sets of testicles,” he replies.
“If I give you a girl, I will never see her again.”
To which he replies, “You heard right.”
Suspecting foul play, Delaney digs his father up to have a doctor examine him.
As the doctor does his work, Delaney begins having more troubling visions.
This time, he rants and screams at the stiff bodies.
Thankfully, he was imagining that and the doctor has the results.
It’s now time for Delaney to have one final reunion.
He goes to the East India Company to meet with Strange and his cohorts.
Even though we never met the father, that sure is saying something.
She shares that she was grateful that he left England for the both of their sakes.
“Buried in a deeper grave.”
