Red Sails – Episode 6

In the nineteenth-century South China Sea, smuggler Captain Thomas Mercer is captured by pirate warlord Wei after claiming his opium cargo sank with his ship. Bound to a magistrate’s chair and pressed to reveal the truth, Thomas holds his nerve while his battered crew risks everything to rescue him. But the cargo is still intact, and a marked chart points toward a hidden anchorage behind the last island—where armed enemies and a dangerous reckoning await.

Episode 6: An interrogation points to a red-sailed boat, sending a rifle patrol into pursuit. With a bomb ticking and a fortune to count, the captain insists there is time to finish cleanly—without a shot fired.
