Red Sails – Episode 7

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 7: Under sniper fire and advancing sepoys, Thomas’s crew turns a cannon on the seawall, shattering the firing position while Kong lowers the silver. Edward breaks free, a cutter erupts in flames, and a bomb at the wharf sends them racing for the crossing.
