Delaney faces the deadly consequences of his return
Tom Hardy is a movie star.
There’s no denying that.
Just ask Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon.

Since American audiences really became familiar with him in Inception, his appeal has been clear.
Heck, apparently, he might even be thenext James Bond.
), it’s still all about Hardy and his weird, yet intriguing character James Delaney.
By the end, we’re left with Delaney’s fate left in the air.
The only thing that can stop it is the death of Delaney.
Well, that being said, he’s sure to be unhappy with the latest happenings.
“That fing man will hang for treason,” declares Wilton, echoing the feeling of his boss.
Unsurprisingly, Strange continues to be frustrated by the situation.
“The fing Americans,” he exclaims.
Seems unlikely that Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell would be involved, but smart cross programming.
While Delaney may have gained a ship, he’s lost a horse.
Left in the place of his missing animal is a note that reads “Atticus.”
He knows exactly what this means, tracking down this man for what feels like a tense showdown.
As crazy as Delaney is, even he should be scared of Atticus.
Plus, it’s been too long since Delaney had a reunion!
“Human kindness,” he replies, before changing to a more literal answer of an ant.
Despite the perceived favor, Delaney wants something else from this scary manto be his eyes and ears.
“Well, the enemies you’re staring at James, you’ll be needing them old boy.”
He’s playing the feisty and overweight prince regent, who gets a visit from Solomon Coop.
The prince is unhappy for many reasons.
More pressing are his issues with the rival country.
“I have run out of fing patience,” he screams.
He wants their ships sunk and survivors hung.
This all caught Coop off-guard, considering that he came to discuss the East India Company.
“F them as well,” barks the prince.
“I intend to,” replies Coop with a smirk.
She warns him that Helga has hired a man to kill him.
Once within a reasonable distance of the ship, Delaney jumps into the water to swim aboard.
After sneaking around, he finds no one and sets the ship ablaze.
Returning to the boat, he discovers that the girl is gone.
So it begs the question, are we dealing with a ghost girl situation?
The next day, Delaney goes looking for Helga and interrupts one of her “sessions.”
Considering the frequency that he has visions, he rightfully wants to know if Winter is real.
She denies knowing such a girl, insisting she wished she did because her Danish customers would love it.
You have goodness in you."
Nothing out of the usual for Delaney.
His investigation begins with Dr. Dumbarton (House of Cards' Michael Kelly).
Delaney has a small request, a sit-down with the U.S. president.
The doctor is rightfully skeptical of the man before him, pulling a gun and ordering him to leave.
“We’re an angry nation.”
To which Delaney responds, “I’m counting on it.”
Delaney’s day of errands continues with a stop at Thoyt’s office.
It’s time for the reading of his father’s will.
“You are their whore,” Delaney says.
Atticus later confirms to Delaney that Geary was the man who came wanting to have his father murdered.
“Love is a kind of madness,” she responds.
While this matter gets sorted out, Thoyt recommends that the two stay away from each other.
“Well, I have no love for the theater,” cracks Delaney.
“And I spend very little time in German brothels,” she quips.
I think we’ve got some chemistry here!
Speaking of his appeal to women, Delaney decides to take a night out at a concert.
No, he’s not shockingly a fan of music, instead he’s there to see his sister.
Not one for a scene, she heads outside for a one-on-one.
He continues to express his feelings, admitting that he missed her.
“You use to straighten your skirts and march away like nothing happened,” he says.
“Who marched away?”
“And thank God you did.”
Clearly disturbed by the rumors, she wants to know if he really ate flesh.
He agrees to tell her everything if she leaves with him, a request she doesn’t accept.
On his way home, a woman is following Delaney.
Could it be that Zilpha changed her mind?
Nope, definitely isn’t as Delaney and the woman walk by and stab each other.
Turns out that it wasn’t a woman, it was the illustrious silver tooth man.
Delaney may have finally killed him, but he hasn’t gotten out unscathed.
He falls to the ground with a blade stuck in him.
As he bleeds out and has flashbacks to Africa, he passes out alone on the dark street.
What did you think?
What’s the deal with Lorna Bow?
Did Delaney die and we’re going to get six episodes of Helga running her business?
