00:03:02 That child of yours
00:03:06 She takes after her mother.

00:07:32 Hurrah!
00:07:36 Come on, boy.
00:07:38 Listen, you get the children.
00:07:42 Isn't this terrible?
00:07:45 - I reckon I'd better get your things together.

00:08:31 - Good-bye, Mr. Cary.
00:08:33 Come on here,Jimmy.
00:08:47 Uncle Billy...
00:08:50 I don't think it was very polite
00:08:54 Their mammies have
00:08:57 You see, honey child,
00:09:00 What's a war?
00:09:02 Well, a war is a lot
00:09:06 where men kill each other with guns.
00:09:08 Really and truly kill each other?
00:09:10 - Yes, ma'am.
00:09:13 Seem like to me, honey,
00:09:16 I hear a white gentleman say there's a man
00:09:21 What does that mean,
00:09:25 I don't know what it means myself.
00:09:31 It's funny, isn't it?
00:10:00 There's Daddy! It's Daddy!
00:10:08 My daddy's the best soldier
00:10:40 Ready, halt!
00:10:46 Company, march!
00:10:53 Oh,James Henry,
00:10:56 I see the Yankees here last week.
00:11:01 When they say " halt,'' they stops.
00:11:04 Well, that's just why I do it different.
00:11:07 I wouldn't do anything
00:11:10 Look! Here they come again,
00:11:16 - Come on!
00:11:20 - Come on, Miss Virgie.
00:11:24 - They's liable to hurt you.
00:11:27 - I'll show them I'm not afraid.
00:11:30 - Ain't you a speck afraid, Miss Virgie?
00:11:35 What are you afraid of them for?
00:11:37 Oh, honey child, them Yankees is mighty powerful.
00:11:43 - Yes?
00:11:46 I never know whether
00:11:48 I'm shiverin' and sweatin'
00:11:51 - Go and tell Mother they're coming.
00:12:02 Troops, halt!
00:12:19 Good Lord, Miss Virgie!
00:12:25 - Who did that?
00:12:28 - Well, you're truthful anyway.
00:12:33 They're right. Who are you?
00:12:35 - I'm a Confederate.
00:12:39 I'm not a rebel. My daddy said so.
00:12:44 - Your daddy a soldier?
00:12:48 - Is he around here now?
00:12:52 Got a lot of spunk, haven't you?
00:12:55 - Well, I'm not afraid of you.
00:12:59 I think it'd be awful if a nice,
00:13:04 Nevertheless, you better
00:13:08 and don't use that slingshot again.
00:13:16 I wish I was in Dixie
00:13:20 In Dixieland I'll take my stand
00:13:22 To live and die in Dixie
00:13:26 Away down South in Dixie
00:13:30 Away down South in Dixie
00:13:52 - Mommy?
00:13:55 When is Daddy
00:13:58 Oh, we can't tell, darling. He's a long
00:14:04 - Why isn't it?
00:14:08 What does " enemy territory'' mean?
00:14:11 Well, it means that the Yankees have captured
00:14:16 And every time that Daddy comes to see us,
00:14:21 and that's very dangerous.
00:14:23 I can't understand it.
00:14:25 I say my prayers every night...
00:14:28 and I say a special prayer
00:14:31 but it doesn't seem to do any good.
00:14:34 So yesterday I started
00:14:38 I prayed twice yesterday,
00:14:42 I'm sure it'll work now, Mommy.
00:15:00 Here comes Daddy!
00:15:10 - Massa Cary.
00:15:21 Tears?
00:15:24 Joy!
00:15:26 Me too, Daddy. Look.
00:15:29 Southerners never cry.
00:15:32 - Oh, what are these things then?
00:15:36 - On a sunshiny day? Aww!
00:15:41 Can you stay long this time, Daddy?
00:15:44 Not this time either, darling.
00:15:46 I'll see if Rosabelle
00:15:50 - Are they getting a fresh horse for me?
00:15:53 - We practice it every day.
00:16:13 Miss Virgie,
00:16:17 - I thought maybe Massa Cary
00:16:22 Didn't nobody tell me to do it either.
00:16:26 Well, you must be thinking better
00:16:30 Yes, sir, Massa Cary.
00:16:34 -James Henry!
00:16:36 Didn't I tell you
00:16:39 That's right. It was you.
00:16:44 What was that I thunk up
00:16:48 Oh, yes. I was gonna polish
00:16:52 Didn't nobody tell me to do that,
00:16:54 Never mind my boots,James Henry.
00:16:57 Yes, sir, Massa Cary.
00:17:05 Daddy?
00:17:08 Are we winning the war?
00:17:10 Well, things are going along.
00:17:13 - Will it last much longer?
00:17:17 - Do you have to work hard in the war?
00:17:22 Every time I see you
00:17:25 Well, I'm not tired now.
00:17:27 You're giving me new strength.
00:17:35 I miss you, Daddy.
00:17:38 Indeed I do.
00:17:41 You know when I miss you the most?
00:17:43 At twilight when you used to sing to me.
00:17:46 Let's pretend it's twilight now, Daddy.
00:18:04 Now, you just close your eyes and make out
00:19:10 Why, I was humming in my sleep.
00:19:13 Aw, you were not!
00:19:16 Tom's bringing up another horse.
00:19:19 - That's fine. Oh, Tom?
00:19:24 - Give him some water and fill
00:19:28 I'll go to the stables for you, Daddy.
00:19:32 I'd better get going while the coast is clear.
00:19:36 where Sheridan's army's camping
00:19:39 I'm so worried about you
00:19:42 If they catch you,
00:19:45 As long as they don't find any dispatches on me,
00:19:49 - I'd only be arrested as a prisoner of war.
00:19:53 - Please be careful.
00:19:57 - I'll push. It'll make you go faster.
00:20:00 - Go on, hurry!
00:20:02 - How is she, Uncle Billy?
00:20:06 We's only got two left,
00:20:11 Two left?
00:20:13 Well, I've had to sell or trade
00:20:17 that is, all that weren't stolen.
00:20:19 I've saved the horses till the last,
00:20:22 - Why didn't you tell me?
00:20:27 Push me!
00:20:30 I pushed the oats all the way
00:20:33 It's a wonder this lazy jackass
00:20:37 Go on back to that stable, boy.
00:20:57 Yankees, Massa Cary!
00:21:00 Go ahead, son. I got him.
00:21:02 Good-bye, darling.
00:21:04 Please be careful.
00:21:09 - Good-bye, honey.
00:21:12 Come on, darling.
00:21:16 Let's see you smile.
00:21:19 Oh, that's only a half o' one.
00:21:21 Come on now.
00:21:26 Oh, that's fine.
00:21:30 Come on, Massa Cary.
00:21:38 I'll try to cross the river the other side
00:21:41 I'll fire three quick shots
00:21:44 Keep them here long as you can.
00:21:47 - God ride with you, darling.
00:21:50 - Yes, dear?
00:21:54 I will, honey.
00:21:58 Seth! Seth!
00:22:01 They're just turning off
00:22:03 - Get that corn from the barn into the house.
00:22:06 Quick!
00:22:11 I can carry two, Rosabelle.
00:22:14 There you is, child.
00:22:41 Come on, children.
00:22:44 - Are they in sight yet?
00:22:46 - Here, you put this away. I'll watch.
00:22:52 Come on. Come on, hurry.
00:23:00 Uncle Billy!
00:23:18 Here they come!
00:23:21 Rosabelle, get in the drawing room and start
00:23:25 - Yes, Uncle Billy.
00:23:28 Uncle Billy, do you think the Yankees
00:23:32 Don't you be a-scared, child.
00:23:35 - There is somethin' to worry about if you's white.
00:23:39 They won't hurt us, 'cause we's slaves.
00:23:43 But if you's white and Southern,
00:23:46 Oh, don't pay him no mind.
00:23:50 All right, Uncle Billy.
00:23:52 Get in now. You too young to see
00:23:58 - What's the matter, Miss Virgie?
00:24:02 For a man they ain't gonna hurt...
00:24:05 you do a powerful lot of shivering
00:24:08 My mind says they ain't gonna hurt me,
00:24:12 Aahh!
00:24:17 - Where's Missa Cary?
00:24:26 - Stand up, you!
00:24:32 We're looking for a spy.
00:24:35 No, sir. No, sir, Massa General.
00:24:38 - Who lives here?
00:24:40 - Is she married?
00:24:44 - Where's her husband?
00:24:46 - Is he a rebel?
00:24:48 - Is he a rebel?
00:24:51 In the Confederate Army?
00:24:54 - Yes, sir.
00:24:57 She's around,
00:24:59 Search the house, men.
00:25:02 - If she wasn't, she'd be here.

00:25:11 - Start in back. Mason, deploy all your men.
00:25:23 - Bring me a drink.
00:25:26 - Well, bring me that.
00:25:29 - You, get me something to eat.
00:25:31 - Get me something to eat!
00:25:36 Here's something, men.
00:25:42 Yes, sir, I was just on my way out.
00:25:45 What were you doing in that closet?
00:25:47 I-I went in there to get me some air.
00:25:50 Oh, you go into a dark closet to get air,
00:25:54 Yes, sir. You see, I'm a man

00:26:12 - Nobody back there, sir.
00:26:14 - Couldn't find any, sir.
00:26:17 - Yes, sir.
00:26:29 - Why did you drop that pitcher?
00:26:33 Slipped, eh? It slipped when I said
00:26:37 - That's when it slipped, didn't it?
00:26:40 - Now listen, you-
00:26:44 - Sergeant!
00:26:46 These oats out in front,
00:26:48 as though a horse had been watered
00:26:51 These oats ain't been there 1 0 minutes.
00:26:54 Search the stables and rush some
00:26:58 - That's where he'll cross ifhe gets away.
00:27:01 Come on, boys.
00:27:04 Here, take this to the kitchen
00:27:09 - Sergeant.
00:27:11 - Nothing up there.
00:27:13 I'm gonna find out what's under it.
00:27:17 - Did you find anything?
00:27:19 What are you doing glued to that wall?
00:27:26 I've got something!
00:27:28 Look at this.
00:27:33 - It's a secret panel.
00:27:36 - Open it.
00:27:39 - Bust it in.
00:27:41 It's just two little babies in there.
00:27:48 Well, this ain't much
00:27:51 Nothing to eat, eh? And no liquor?
00:28:02 Hurry up.
00:28:06 Come on. Get out of here.

00:28:56 - Come here, you little rascal!
00:29:03 White, by gad!
00:29:05 Who told you to put that black on?
00:29:08 I guess your daddy told you to do it.
00:29:13 Why, I wouldn't hurt a little girl like you.
00:29:18 I'd like to talk to him.
00:29:22 - She didn't mean nothing, master.
00:29:26 - Turn me loose!
00:29:30 - Run, Virgie, run!
00:29:35 Mother! Mother!
00:29:37 I didn't mean to shove ya.
00:29:40 Don't you hurt my mother!
00:29:43 - You let her alone! Attention!
00:29:45 What's going on here?
00:29:50 Are you hurt, madam?
00:29:53 No.
00:30:03 - Who's in command here?
00:30:06 Do you know what he did?
00:30:08 He broke our table, and he wanted to hurt me,
00:30:16 Put that loot back where you got it.
00:30:20 - Lieutenant Harte.
00:30:22 Take him outside and give him 25 lashes.
00:30:26 Investigate the others. If you find any
00:30:30 Yes, sir. Come on, Dudley.
00:30:36 I can't tell you
00:30:39 And you too, miss.
00:30:42 - Why, you were crying, weren't you?
00:30:50 You look like you've been
00:30:53 Your men were the cause of it.
00:30:56 Just wait till I tell my Daddy about this.
00:31:01 And I won't blame him a bit.
00:31:04 Thank you.
00:31:07 Now you run along and play.
00:31:13 There's a rebel scout, madam,
00:31:16 I'm sorry to have to question you after
00:31:20 - I know nothing of him.
00:31:25 - Have you seen him today?
00:31:28 Would you tell me if you had?
00:31:32 Would you expect me to?
00:31:34 I'm afraid not.
00:31:37 - What is it, Sergeant?
00:31:42 Shows signs ofhaving been ridden hard
00:31:45 He changed horses here.
00:31:48 Put two sharpshooters on the roof
00:31:51 Yes, sir.
00:31:55 What's that?
00:31:57 A godsend.
00:32:01 In that case, I'm afraid there's no longer

00:32:14 - Sergeant!
00:32:16 Countermand that order.
00:32:19 - All right, we're going back to camp.
00:32:55 Come in!
00:32:58 I don't think we should stay here
00:33:01 The Yankees is already down by the east pasture,
00:33:05 You better hurry.
00:33:10 Please, hurry.
00:33:12 Don't be afraid.
00:33:26 - Uncle Billy, can't we get to the slaves' quarters?
00:33:29 They's firin' there now.
00:33:59 Excuse me, Captain.
00:34:01 One of your slaves is outside.
00:34:05 - What? One of my slaves?
00:34:07 - How could he have gotten through
00:34:11 Oh, Massa Cary,
00:34:15 - What is it, Uncle Billy?
00:34:18 - Sick?
00:34:23 She keeps asking for you all the time.
00:34:25 - What happened?
00:34:28 The house was burned down.
00:34:31 Missa Cary, she catch her death of cold.
00:34:35 How long has this been going on?
00:34:38 She was sick for three weeks
00:34:42 Then I decided I better fetch you.
00:34:44 I been going from camp to camp
00:34:48 - Most of the slaves run away.
00:34:53 Oh, she's fine, sir.
00:34:57 She's been a great comfort
00:35:00 But I's afraid Missa Cary
00:35:03 - I'll get a leave of absence right away.
00:35:05 I've got some logs in the river
00:35:08 We can float down past the Union camps, then cut
00:35:13 - Well, hurry. We'll have to get
00:35:45 Here's the Union camp now, sir.

00:36:23 - Do you think we can do it, Massa Cary?
00:36:54 You're feeling better now,
00:36:57 Yes, dear, much better.
00:37:00 I bet it won't be long
00:37:03 He'll make everything all right.
00:37:06 We-We mustn't be too sure, darling.
00:37:10 Then we won't be so disappointed
00:37:14 Perhaps Uncle Billy didn't
00:37:18 Uncle Billy can do anything.
00:37:21 He can sing and dance
00:37:23 and do everything in the world.
00:37:26 I know he can bring Daddy back.
00:37:30 Now, I have my housework to do...
00:37:33 so you just lie quiet until I finish.
00:37:36 Mother's very proud of you, darling.
00:37:41 I'll be right back.
00:37:52 Rosabelle, you're crying.
00:37:55 No, Miss Virgie, I ain't cryin', child.
00:37:58 My eyes just kinda slipped.
00:38:00 Well, my daddy will be here soon...
00:38:03 and then your eyes
00:38:05 Yes'm, Miss Virgie.
00:38:10 What are you doing there,
00:38:14 Well, I sleeps in that kitchen...
00:38:16 and I wants to hear them Yankees
00:38:20 so I dug this hole.
00:38:22 I's gonna cover it over,
00:38:25 they'll fall in,
00:38:28 And then I'll hear 'em,
00:38:32 - I hope nobody else falls in it.
00:38:37 Look!
00:38:42 But he didn't bring Daddy.
00:38:50 - Here comes Daddy!
00:38:54 - Praise the Lord!
00:38:59 My darling.
00:39:03 Praise the Lord, Missa Cary.
00:39:06 The whole Yankee army couldn't stop him.
00:39:09 Thank heaven.
00:39:22 I had to live till you got here
00:39:27 Please don't talk like that, dear.
00:39:31 Didn't I tell you that Uncle Billy
00:39:35 Yes, dear.
00:39:37 I bet now that Daddy is here...
00:39:40 it won't be long before we have
00:39:43 - Will it, Daddy?
00:39:47 Oh, Daddy, I wish Mommy
00:39:51 Shh. You've got to be
00:39:56 Well, can't I be brave
00:40:01 Of course, Virgie.
00:40:04 Mother isn't going to be sick
00:40:09 She's going to sleep, darling.
00:40:13 And if there are dreams
00:40:18 oh, my darlings...
00:40:20 how I'll dream of you.
00:40:24 Oh, Daddy,
00:40:27 I dreamed Mommy and you
00:40:30 And do you remember how you
00:40:36 - Come on, honey child.
00:40:42 What is it, Uncle Billy?
00:40:53 What's the matter, Uncle Billy?
00:40:56 Why does everybody act so funny?
00:40:58 Is something wrong?
00:41:01 No, honey child.
00:41:04 There is something wrong.
00:41:11 Daddy, what is it?
00:41:14 Did something happen to my mommy?
00:41:21 Something very beautiful, darling.
00:41:24 That's how you must
00:41:27 that Mama'll never be ill again...
00:41:30 or frightened or discouraged.
00:41:33 She'll never suffer anymore.
00:41:38 Just-Just think of it...
00:41:43 as beautiful.
00:42:07 - Daddy?
00:42:09 You won't ever leave me, will you?
00:42:12 No, I'll never let you
00:42:15 - Uncle Billy.
00:42:17 There hasn't been a Yankee patrol
00:42:20 There's bound to be one soon.
00:42:23 - You mean, you're gonna take
00:42:27 - Through the Yankee line?
00:42:30 - But, Captain, it's dangerous. You can't do it, sir.
00:42:36 All of you go back to your cabins,
00:42:39 Rosabelle, you go with them
00:42:43 - Uncle Billy, you wait outside and watch.
00:42:46 - Come, honey.
00:42:56 Well, I didn't know-
00:43:07 Honey, do you remember how Mama
00:43:11 - Oh, I never have, Daddy.
00:43:15 But if those Yankees should come in here,
00:43:19 - You want me to tell a lie?
00:43:22 And in a case like this,
00:43:25 If they should stop here
00:43:27 tell them I was here but I left an hour ago,
00:43:31 Now be a brave little Confederate, darling.
00:43:35 - Daddy.
00:43:37 - Would General Lee want me to tell that lie?
00:43:41 All right, then
00:43:46 They's comin', Massa Cary!
00:43:48 Here, help me with this.
00:43:53 Don't be frightened.
00:43:56 All right, Massa Cary.
00:44:01 Put that table back up
00:44:04 Remember now, act as though nothing
00:44:08 We will, Daddy.
00:44:16 - What you all doin'?
00:44:19 - Yeah.
00:44:29 Sergeant, take your men
00:44:32 Cary's around here, and this time we've got to
00:44:36 - Hurry now. Move fast.
00:44:39 All right, men, let's go.
00:45:39 Well, that was quite a concert.
00:45:45 And how is the littlest rebel of them all?
00:45:48 Fine, Yankee.Just fine.
00:45:51 Do you mind if I warm
00:45:55 No, sir.
00:46:00 - You two all alone here?
00:46:03 Yes, sir. My daddy was here,
00:46:07 - Is that so?
00:46:10 but he left an hour ago,
00:46:15 Well, now, that's very interesting.
00:46:24 I know another dance.
00:46:26 Oh, yes, sir.
00:46:29 Now, dance for the gentlemen,
00:46:34 What was your father doing here?
00:46:37 My mommy was very sick,
00:46:42 So yesterday Uncle Billy brought him...
00:46:46 and this morning
00:46:48 - Is that true?
00:46:57 I'm sorry.
00:47:00 But my daddy says I must always
00:47:04 Your daddy's right. You see,
00:47:08 and I'd feel awful sorry
00:47:12 - Has your little girl got a pony?
00:47:14 Does she get enough
00:47:28 You had the table out
00:47:32 - No, sir.
00:47:34 - What are those tracks?
00:47:37 Is that a trapdoor
00:47:40 No, sir. There ain't nothing up there.
00:47:44 - You've been lying to me.
00:47:47 - Your father's here now!
00:47:49 - You know he is!
00:47:53 - I saw him cross the river.
00:47:57 -Just a minute!
00:48:04 Now, come down
00:48:10 Back over against that door.
00:48:16 Turn around and keep those hands up.
00:48:19 Daddy.
00:48:22 All right, you can drop them now,
00:48:25 Oh, Daddy, I didn't do it right, did I?
00:48:28 Yes, you did, darling.
00:48:30 I said just what you told me to.
00:48:33 You were perfect,
00:48:37 I really wasn't going to.
00:48:39 Run outside, darling.
00:48:41 Come on, Uncle Billy.
00:48:50 Can you arrange so that
00:48:53 - I'll try.
00:48:56 - Any papers on you?
00:48:59 I came home to bury my dead...
00:49:01 and take my little girl to
00:49:04 I see.
00:49:06 Well, come on.
00:49:09 I'm afraid I won't be able to-
00:49:13 I understand.
00:49:15 Will you tell her
00:49:18 I'll return soon.
00:49:28 - Yes, it would just about fit.
00:49:30 - The Yankee uniform.
00:49:34 - You know the Cartwright plantation?
00:49:37 I left a uniform there
00:49:40 If you stole that uniform,
00:49:44 - You mean-
00:49:48 and had a pass through the lines...
00:49:50 you'd stand a mighty good chance
00:49:53 - Where would I get a pass?
00:50:07 I don't think my country expects me
00:50:16 I don't know what to say.
00:50:18 Of course, you realize what it means
00:50:22 Aren't you taking an awful
00:50:24 War's full of chances.
00:50:26 I won't forget this.
00:50:28 I hope you get through.
00:50:31 - God bless you.
00:50:34 In passing through our lines,
00:50:37 My word of honor.
00:50:39 Daddy, Daddy!
00:50:43 Get out the back way.
00:50:46 Daddy, is the Yankee man
00:50:48 A man couldn't be nicer
00:50:50 You see, you've made me
00:50:52 - I knew all the time you weren't gonna whip me.
00:50:56 Good luck.
00:51:00 You're nice enough
00:51:03 Good-bye, Uncle Billy.
00:51:08 - Any sign of him?
00:51:11 Well, you men better come in and warm up.
00:51:14 Yes, sir.
00:51:24 - No trace at all, eh?
00:51:26 But I'm sure he's still around here.
00:51:30 Look! There goes somebody.
00:51:32 - A man and a child?
00:51:35 That's a slave and his pickaninny.
00:51:53 - Do you hear anything?
00:52:18 We've got to go back.
00:52:20 Didn't the man give you
00:52:23 Yes, but the Yanks around here
00:52:26 I don't want to use the pass
00:52:29 This isn't a good neighborhood anyway.
00:52:31 No. Come on.
00:52:41 - Halt!
00:52:47 - Where are you going, sir?
00:52:52 Colonel Morrison sent me.
00:52:55 Have you got a little girl, mister?
00:52:57 No, I've got a boy.
00:52:59 - Where'd you come from?
00:53:03 - Why aren't you using the main road?
00:53:06 How old is your little boy?
00:53:08 - Five.
00:53:11 - My boy's bigger than you.
00:53:13 Yes. This looks all right,
00:53:16 We've got special orders to be on the watch
00:53:20 Didn't you hear?
00:53:23 - They did?
00:53:26 - What's your regiment?
00:53:29 It's all right then. You'll find them camped
00:53:33 Thanks.
00:53:38 Oh, Daddy, you told a fib.
00:53:40 Well, this is war, honey.
00:53:43 Why isn't it a sin to tell a fib in war?
00:53:46 I don't know why it isn't a sin
00:53:50 What's the 72nd Vermont?
00:53:53 Well, that's a regiment of soldiers
00:53:59 Halt!
00:54:03 Colonel Morrison asked me to
00:54:07 - Here's his pass.
00:54:09 - Yes.
00:54:11 Cary plantation,
00:54:13 - When did you leave there?
00:54:15 - We left there at 1 2:00.
00:54:19 Yes, sir. I'm six years old.
00:54:22 Well, I guess you're all right.
00:54:25 Wait a minute!
00:54:32 - Whose child is this?
00:54:37 - Ever see me before?
00:54:40 Ya didn't, eh?
00:54:43 - No!
00:54:46 Her old man's the most dangerous
00:54:49 This looks mighty funny to me.
00:54:52 Go get 'em! Hurry up!
00:54:57 Head 'em off!
00:55:00 Get under the seat quick, honey.
00:55:41 Halt!
00:55:47 Keep your hands up.
00:55:50 - No.
00:55:53 All right, we'll go back.
00:55:56 Follow us.
00:56:11 - Captain?
00:56:13 - I'm afraid I've got to give you some bad news.
00:56:18 Every finding of the court-martial
00:56:20 - That means-
00:56:23 When does the... party take place?
00:56:28 The morning of the 27 th... at dawn.
00:56:31 Well, I still have six days.
00:56:34 Any messages you want sent?
00:56:39 You've been very kind...
00:56:41 especially so in getting Uncle Billy here
00:56:44 - I appreciate that.
00:56:47 That child has literally captured us all.
00:56:54 - Colonel-
00:56:56 I heard you.
00:56:59 No.
00:57:01 And is my little party set
00:57:04 I'm sorry, Colonel.
00:57:06 He's innocent, Major.
00:57:10 The evidence we couldn't overcome,
00:57:12 was the fact that you not only gave him a pass
00:57:16 - I stole that uniform.
00:57:20 I had hoped we could.
00:57:22 I'll be about, Colonel,
00:57:25 Thank you, Major.
00:57:28 Well, it was a gamble, and we lost.
00:57:31 I have no regrets.
00:57:33 When I think of my own little baby,
00:57:48 Why is a shoe called a shoe?
00:57:51 What?
00:57:53 I says, why is a shoe called a shoe?
00:57:56 What do you mean, why
00:57:59 Well, the world is full of names.
00:58:02 They could have picked out
00:58:04 - Who could?
00:58:07 - I don't know who it was.
00:58:10 Why is a shoe called a shoe?
00:58:13 Massa Cary says that shows you got brains
00:58:19 I spent all day yesterday thinkin',
00:58:25 Aw, shut your mouth, will you?
00:58:28 What time is it now, Uncle Billy?
00:58:31 I heard the town clock strike 3:00
00:58:34 Oh, we'll have to hurry.
00:58:39 He says it makes
00:58:42 There. That's done.
00:58:45 Shall I brush your clothes now,
00:58:48 Yes, please.
00:58:50 Do you think they'll keep Daddy
00:58:54 No, ma'am.
00:58:57 You're afraid?
00:58:59 Oh, no, no, child.
00:59:03 Last night when I said my prayers...
00:59:06 I asked God
00:59:09 and- and I asked him
00:59:12 Then I thought maybe
00:59:16 so I told God he didn't have
00:59:20 - Was that right, Uncle Billy?
00:59:23 But if you want that dress...
00:59:26 I'll kinda slip a little
00:59:29 Now, Uncle Billy, if you
00:59:33 like you did yesterday,
00:59:36 No, ma'am, I won't.
00:59:39 We've got to smile,
00:59:43 I will, honey. You'll see.
00:59:46 Yes, all ready.
00:59:48 James Henry, you wait here
00:59:52 Yes, sir.
01:01:06 Did you like it, Daddy?
01:01:08 You have charge of Captain Cary's little girl,
01:01:11 Yes, sir.
01:01:13 - I want to speak to you a moment.
01:01:16 That was lovely, darling.
01:01:20 Oh, I sewed up a hole in my dress.
01:01:23 Mrs. Robin let me sweep the stoop.
01:01:25 - Why, you're becoming a regular, little housewife.
01:01:29 - Hmm?
01:01:31 No, no. Come on now.
01:01:34 Well, there's a little girl
01:01:37 and she has a pony,
01:01:40 - That's grand.
01:01:44 And she said she didn't care
01:01:48 and I said I didn't care
01:01:51 Even if there is a war,
01:01:55 - Daddy?
01:01:57 When she was so nice,
01:02:01 why do the rest of the people
01:02:05 I don't know, honey.
01:02:07 We grown-ups haven't as much
01:02:10 This isn't money enough,
01:02:14 I'll give you a letter to him.
01:02:17 Thank you, sir. Thank you.
01:02:19 You've got four days to try it in.
01:02:23 God bless you.
01:02:27 - Daddy?
01:02:29 - I don't want to leave.
01:02:34 You're not leaving without
01:02:40 Oh, no.
01:02:42 Then tomorrow when I come,
01:02:46 Oh, you switch around, eh?
01:02:48 Well, Daddy said you tried to help us,
01:02:53 Nothing so nice ever happened to me.
01:02:55 We gotta hurry, missy.
01:02:58 Good-bye, Yankee.
01:03:02 Good-bye, rebel darling.
01:03:06 Good-bye, Daddy.
01:03:08 - God love you, honey.
01:03:11 - All right, sweetheart.
01:03:13 - Good-bye, Billy.
01:03:16 - Bye.
01:03:19 - Good-bye.
01:03:21 Uncle Billy, isn't there any way
01:03:26 Honey, that soldier man
01:03:29 He's gonna write me a letter
01:03:32 He said there's just one way...
01:03:35 but I don't know if we got
01:03:41 Please, sir, how much is the railroad fare
01:03:44 Six dollars and 20 cents.
01:03:46 And how much for the little girl, sir?
01:03:48 Ah, she's a little too tall for half fare.
01:03:51 Oh, no, I'm not.
01:03:54 This is my right size.
01:03:57 All right.
01:04:03 Thank you, sir.
01:04:09 - Have you got enough?
01:04:11 It's gonna take more money
01:04:14 How do people get money?
01:04:17 I know how to get some more money.
01:06:02 Help the cause, white folks.
01:06:05 - Which cause?
01:06:08 Thank you. Thank you.
01:06:11 I don't put no money
01:06:14 There you are, boss.
01:06:17 - Oh, well, that's-
01:06:21 Here, give me that.
01:06:23 This makes 44, 45, 46, 56.
01:06:28 We got enough now,
01:06:31 Come on, child.
01:06:49 - You may go in now.
01:06:53 Come on, Uncle Billy.
01:07:04 Come right in.
01:07:18 Miss Virginia Cary and Uncle Billy?
01:07:21 - Yes, sir.
01:07:26 How do you do, my dear?
01:07:28 Very nicely. Thank you, sir.
01:07:30 And how are you, Uncle Billy?
01:07:40 Let me see.
01:07:42 Judge Van Allen
01:07:45 Yes, sir. He's the gentleman
01:07:50 Come over here.
01:07:55 There. Now... that's nicer.
01:08:00 My daddy and Colonel Morrison
01:08:04 and they're going to shoot them.
01:08:09 Your father is a captain
01:08:12 Yes, sir.
01:08:14 Arrested as a spy.
01:08:16 My daddy isn't a spy!
01:08:19 Do you know what a spy is?
01:08:21 I know it's something bad,
01:08:25 and my daddy
01:08:29 I don't see how he could either...
01:08:31 with a little one like you.
01:08:34 Thank you kindly, sir.
01:08:38 Tell me about it.
01:08:42 My daddy went away to the war...
01:08:44 and then the Yankees
01:08:47 and sometimes
01:08:49 - Was he in uniform?
01:08:52 - What color?
01:08:55 I see.
01:08:59 Thank you, sir.
01:09:01 Then there were
01:09:04 my daddy couldn't
01:09:06 Then they burnt down our house,
01:09:09 and had to go to bed
01:09:14 No, that's yours.
01:09:17 That's right.
01:09:19 We had nothing to get her medicine with,
01:09:22 The soldiers took
01:09:25 And Mommy kept asking
01:09:28 All the time she'd ask.
01:09:33 No, that's mine.
01:09:36 - I beg your pardon.
01:09:42 So Uncle Billy went
01:09:45 The next day, my mommy went away.
01:09:52 There, there. Don't cry.
01:09:55 You're a great big girl.
01:10:01 - I won't.
01:10:08 Then the Yankees came,
01:10:13 Then Colonel Morrison came in.
01:10:17 He's awfully nice.
01:10:22 Then he found Daddy,
01:10:26 about wanting to take me to my
01:10:30 so I could get enough to eat.
01:10:32 That's why the colonel give
01:10:35 just so he could bring Miss Virgie
01:10:39 I see. Now, on this trip...
01:10:43 before your daddy was captured...
01:10:45 did he write down anything
01:10:48 - No, sir.
01:10:51 or count them
01:10:55 No, sir. He told me
01:10:58 and anyone asked me
01:11:01 I was in honor bound
01:11:03 - He told you that?
01:11:06 Because Colonel Morrison
01:11:09 and my daddy gave his word,
01:11:15 - John.
01:11:21 - Mr. President?
01:11:23 You won't let them shoot my daddy
01:11:32 - Rush this by special courier to General Grant.
01:11:43 - Is this yours?
01:11:46 I had the last piece.
01:11:56 There, there now.
01:12:01 Your father and Colonel Morrison
