00:01:05 I have long feared...
00:01:08 ...that my sins would return
00:01:13 And the cost is more than I can bear.
00:01:44 Samuel! A postrider!
00:01:57 An "R."
00:01:58 Good.
00:02:01 What about this one?
00:02:41 - Thank you.
00:03:25 Father! Father!
00:03:29 Nine pounds, eleven ounces.
00:03:34 Father, a postrider!
00:03:36 Did you finish planting
00:03:38 More than half.
00:03:40 Those swimming breaks really cut
00:03:45 Told you.
00:03:57 Thomas.
00:03:58 Wait for Father.
00:05:00 Sorry.
00:05:33 That's her. The North Star.
00:05:38 See?
00:05:40 You start from the front two stars
00:05:43 And then you count up.
00:05:45 You count up five finger lengths...
00:05:49 ...and it's right there.
00:05:53 And she'll always be
00:05:56 And protect us. Forever.
00:06:01 Come. Into bed.
00:06:10 Good night. Good night, Meg.
00:06:14 It helps her to know Mother's there.
00:06:22 Good night.
00:07:05 So what was in the mail?
00:07:18 "The New York and
00:07:21 ...are debating independence. "
00:07:24 What about the middle colonies?
00:07:29 "In Chestertown,
00:07:31 ...and tar and feathered
00:07:34 They died of... They died of burns. "
00:07:36 Damn fools.
00:07:39 Who? The writers or the magistrates?
00:07:43 What does it say about
00:07:48 It says here they'll make
00:08:10 Peter Cuppin joined the Continentals.
00:08:19 He's 17, a year younger than I.
00:08:32 Well, the assembly's been convened,
00:08:36 - We're going to Charles Town?
00:08:39 We leave in the morning.
00:09:23 Charlotte.
00:09:24 The children are here.
00:09:29 Thank you.
00:09:36 Aunt Charlotte!
00:09:39 Margaret, William, look at you.
00:09:42 Missed you.
00:09:44 They're huge.
00:09:47 Well, they're from good stock.
00:09:52 Thank you. Come inside.
00:09:56 - Presents? Presents for us?
00:09:58 Keep an eye on these heathens,
00:10:03 Sorry.
00:10:12 I have this for you, Susan.
00:10:23 She's still not talking?
00:10:26 No.
00:10:30 It does me good to see you.
00:10:49 Look, there's Gabriel.
00:10:50 Gabriel.
00:10:58 Hang King George!
00:11:08 Harry Burwell is here recruiting.
00:11:10 The governor has vowed if the
00:11:13 ...to the Continental Army,
00:11:18 Wouldn't that force our delegates in
00:11:23 Yes.
00:11:25 Send us off to war alongside
00:11:31 Get King George!
00:11:35 - Hang them all!
00:11:39 That's enough.
00:11:41 Come along now. Inside now.
00:11:54 Burwell will be counting on your vote.
00:11:57 And he'll expect you
00:12:01 Yes, I imagine so.
00:12:05 I'm sorry, the heathens are...
00:12:11 They have long needed
00:12:14 A mother.
00:12:16 Especially Susan.
00:12:30 My name is Peter Howard.
00:12:32 I lost most of my hearing
00:12:36 ...fighting for the Crown
00:12:40 And how did King George reward me?
00:12:43 He cuts off my other leg
00:12:48 Miss Howard, isn't it?
00:12:51 You know who I am, Gabriel Martin.
00:12:54 The last time you saw me,
00:12:59 I believe that was one of my younger
00:13:04 It was you, and it turned
00:13:10 - and send a message to King George
00:13:18 Our first order of business...
00:13:19 And our last, if we vote a levy!
00:13:22 Order, order!
00:13:23 Mr. Simms, you do not have the floor.
00:13:25 First, an address by Colonel
00:13:30 Colonel Burwell.
00:13:35 You all know why I'm here.
00:13:37 I'm not an orator.
00:13:40 And I would not try to convince you
00:13:45 I'm a soldier.
00:13:48 And we are at war.
00:13:51 From Philadelphia, we expect
00:13:55 8 of the 13 colonies have
00:13:58 ...in support of a continental army.
00:14:00 I ask that South Carolina be the ninth.
00:14:03 Massachusetts and Virginia
00:14:07 ...but South Carolina is not!
00:14:09 Hear, hear.
00:14:10 This is not a war for the independence
00:14:15 ...but for the independence
00:14:17 And what nation is that?
00:14:19 An American nation!
00:14:22 There is no such nation
00:14:25 We are citizens
00:14:28 And our rights are being threatened...
00:14:31 ...by a tyrant 3000 miles away.
00:14:33 Would you tell me, please,
00:14:36 ...why should I trade one tyrant
00:14:40 ...for 3000 tyrants one mile away?
00:14:48 An elected legislature can trample
00:14:54 Captain Martin...
00:14:56 ...I understood you to be a patriot.
00:14:59 If you mean by "patriot," am I angry
00:15:02 Well, yes, I am.
00:15:05 Should the American colonies govern
00:15:09 I believe they can. And they should.
00:15:13 But if you're asking me am I willing
00:15:17 ...then the answer is
00:15:24 This from the same Captain Benjamin
00:15:29 ...during the Wilderness campaign?
00:15:32 I was intemperate in my youth.
00:15:34 Temperance can be
00:15:37 Mr. Middleton, I fought
00:15:40 ...under Washington
00:15:43 There's not a man in this room...
00:15:45 ...or anywhere for that matter, to whom
00:15:50 There are alternatives to war.
00:15:54 We take our case before the king.
00:15:56 - We plead with him.
00:15:58 Well, then, we try again and again
00:16:02 I was at Bunker Hill.
00:16:05 The British advanced three times.
00:16:07 We killed 700 at point-blank range
00:16:12 That is the measure of their resolve.
00:16:16 If your principles dictate
00:16:18 ...then war is the only way.
00:16:21 It is come to that.
00:16:23 Hear, hear.
00:16:26 I have seven children.
00:16:29 My wife is dead.
00:16:32 Now, who's to care for them
00:16:37 Wars are not fought
00:16:41 Granted.
00:16:45 But mark my words.
00:16:49 This war will be fought,
00:16:53 ...or on some distant battlefield...
00:16:57 ...but amongst us.
00:16:59 Among our homes.
00:17:02 Our children will learn of it
00:17:08 And the innocent will die
00:17:15 I will not fight.
00:17:18 And because I will not fight,
00:17:21 ...that will send others to fight
00:17:26 And your principles?
00:17:31 I'm a parent. I haven't got
00:17:43 We must vote to levy!
00:18:00 28 to 12! The levy passed!
00:18:32 You intend to enlist
00:18:35 Yes, I do.
00:18:42 Father, I thought you were
00:18:50 When you have a family of your own,
00:18:56 When I have a family of my own,
00:19:15 He's as imprudent as his father was
00:19:20 Regrettably so.
00:19:23 I'll see to it that he
00:19:27 Make him a clerk or quartermaster,
00:19:34 Good luck.
00:20:00 Dear Thomas:
00:20:03 ...it seems like only yesterday when we
00:20:08 With sadness, I learned
00:20:11 ...under General Cornwallis.
00:20:17 I received a letter
00:20:19 ...saying she closed her home
00:20:23 ...and moved to her plantation
00:20:36 Here in the north, our campaign has
00:20:42 Our losses have been grievous.
00:20:51 My good friend, Peter Cuppin,
00:21:02 His death has been difficult to bear.
00:21:17 We will march south
00:21:20 ...to fight the Redcoats
00:21:26 Thank you, sir.
00:21:41 I envy you...
00:21:42 ...your youth and distance from this
00:21:48 "But I am fortunate to be
00:21:53 And though I fear death...
00:21:55 ...each day in prayer I reaffirm
00:21:58 ...to give my life in its service.
00:22:01 Pray for me.
00:22:04 But above all, pray for the cause.
00:22:07 Your loving brother, Gabriel. "
00:22:45 What are you doing?
00:22:53 Turn around.
00:22:59 Not yet, Thomas.
00:23:02 When?
00:23:08 Seventeen.
00:23:11 That's two years.
00:23:14 - The war could be over by then.
00:23:21 All right. Seventeen.
00:23:27 All right.
00:23:36 Put it back, please.
00:23:42 Father?
00:23:44 What happened at Fort Wilderness?
00:23:50 Put it away.
00:23:57 - Throw it faster.
00:24:13 Margaret, you go get your brothers
00:25:21 Back to the house. Come on.
00:25:25 Come with me. Margaret, go now.
00:25:36 They're going to come.
00:25:38 Quiet. Sit down.
00:26:12 Six-pounders.
00:26:14 Lots of them.
00:26:16 How far away?
00:26:19 They're a long way off. They're most
00:26:24 Put those in the house.
00:26:26 - They might come this way.
00:26:32 Let's all stay close in to the house,
00:26:55 We'll have to fight them off.
00:26:57 Won't Father do that?
00:27:00 They'll probably kill us men...
00:27:04 ...and do Lord-knows-what
00:27:07 Nathan!
00:27:35 Slowly turn.
00:27:40 Father.
00:27:44 Abigale!
00:27:46 Water and bandages, fast.
00:27:53 The battle. Were you there?
00:27:55 Have you seen any Redcoats?
00:27:57 No, not yet.
00:27:59 Abigale, the children, please.
00:28:01 Children, come. Upstairs.
00:28:10 Gates marched us straight
00:28:12 Our lines broke. The British
00:28:16 I was given these dispatches.
00:28:19 As I left, I saw
00:28:26 The Dragoons rode into them.
00:28:29 Killed them all.
00:28:32 Over 200 men.
00:28:35 I have to get these dispatches
00:28:37 You can't ride.
00:28:38 I can't stay here!
00:29:14 Fire!
00:29:24 Fire!
00:31:49 Thank you for the care
00:32:22 Have a detachment take our wounded
00:32:26 Yes, sir.
00:32:29 Fire the house and barns.
00:32:33 Let it be known if you harbor
00:32:40 By order of King George...
00:32:42 ...all slaves of the American colonies
00:32:46 ...will be granted their freedom
00:32:51 We're not slaves. We work this land.
00:32:55 Then you're freedmen who will have
00:32:58 ...of fighting in the king's army.
00:33:06 Rebel dispatches, sir.
00:33:14 Who carried this?
00:33:25 Who carried this?!
00:33:27 I did, sir.
00:33:35 I was wounded.
00:33:38 They have nothing to do
00:33:43 Take this one to Camden.
00:33:46 Hang him, put his body on display.
00:33:48 He's a dispatch rider.
00:33:50 Destroy the livestock.
00:33:54 Colonel, this is a uniformed
00:33:58 He cannot be held as a spy.
00:33:59 Well, we won't hold him.
00:34:06 - Colonel...
00:34:11 Oh, I see. He's your son.
00:34:15 Perhaps you should've taught him
00:34:19 Colonel, I beg you, please reconsider.
00:34:23 Would you like a lesson, sir,
00:34:30 Or perhaps your children would.
00:34:37 No lesson is necessary.
00:34:41 Sir.
00:34:42 What of the rebel wounded?
00:34:47 Kill them.
00:34:53 Father.
00:34:58 Father, do something!
00:35:00 Be quiet!
00:35:14 Gabriel, run!
00:35:17 Wait!
00:35:21 No!
00:35:49 Stupid boy.
00:35:56 Captain.
00:36:02 Thomas!
00:37:00 Come, child.
00:37:03 I'm not leaving these children!
00:37:06 Mercy!
00:37:08 Get ready!
00:37:10 Present!
00:37:11 Fire!
00:37:56 All of you, stay here.
00:38:33 Nathan, Samuel.
00:38:39 Margaret.
00:38:43 Hide in the fields
00:38:46 If we're not back by sunset,
00:38:49 - Is that clear?
00:38:52 Boys.
00:39:46 It's a good spot.
00:39:49 Boys, listen to me.
00:39:52 I'll fire first.
00:39:55 Start with the officers
00:39:59 Can you tell the difference?
00:40:00 Yes, Father.
00:40:02 - Yes, Father.
00:40:04 Samuel, after your first shot,
00:40:08 Now...
00:40:09 ...if anything should happen to me,
00:40:12 Run as quickly as you can.
00:40:14 Get your brother and your sisters...
00:40:17 ...and take them to
00:40:21 What did I say about shooting?
00:40:23 Aim small, miss small.
00:40:25 Aim small, miss small.
00:40:28 Boys...
00:40:29 ...Samuel...
00:40:31 ...steady.
00:41:20 Lord, make me fast and accurate.
00:41:24 Aim small, miss small.
00:41:27 Aim small, miss small.
00:41:30 Aim small, miss small.
00:41:46 - On the right!
00:41:54 Behind us! Up on the ridge!
00:42:00 Form right!
00:42:04 To the right!
00:42:07 About face!
00:42:11 On the right to the rear!
00:42:14 To the right!
00:42:16 Fire!
00:42:18 - Reload!
00:42:39 Behind you!
00:42:46 Look on the rear!
00:47:15 Lord...
00:47:17 ...we pray that you accept this child...
00:47:20 ...and keep him at your side
00:47:24 We ask that you embrace him...
00:47:29 ...and help us to understand the
00:47:34 And forgive us our sins.
00:47:37 This we ask in your name.
00:47:41 Amen.
00:48:07 Sir, we have the private
00:48:22 Private?
00:48:23 Private.
00:48:25 Colonel William Tavington,
00:48:28 What happened? Who did this?
00:48:31 Him.
00:48:33 It was mad.
00:48:36 I couldn't tell you who it was.
00:48:37 Calm down. Calm down, man.
00:48:40 Twenty of His Majesty's soldiers
00:48:43 And I need to know how.
00:48:46 - He said there was...
00:48:48 Then let him speak.
00:48:51 Take your time and tell me.
00:48:55 Were they militia?
00:48:57 I don't really remember how many.
00:49:02 Maybe one.
00:49:05 One man. Really?
00:49:08 He was in the flank.
00:49:11 All around us.
00:49:13 Amongst us.
00:49:15 I could barely see him.
00:49:18 He just vanished.
00:49:21 Sounds more like a ghost than a man.
00:49:24 A ghost.
00:49:27 He was like a ghost.
00:49:30 Enough.
00:49:33 Bordon? Take a patrol.
00:49:36 Capture this ghost before
00:49:40 - Who's this?
00:49:43 He was with the Loyalist Colonial
00:49:47 Another colonial.
00:49:49 Captain Wilkins,
00:49:52 To king and country.
00:49:53 Why should I trust a man who'd
00:49:56 Those neighbors of mine who stand
00:50:00 ...deserve to die a traitor's death.
00:50:03 We'll see.
00:50:10 Mr. Martin!
00:50:18 Miss Charlotte!
00:50:31 You're safe now. Try to sleep.
00:50:34 Good night.
00:50:36 Good night.
00:50:37 Father?
00:50:39 Yes.
00:50:41 I killed those men.
00:50:44 You did what I told you to do.
00:50:47 You did what you had to.
00:50:53 I'm glad I killed them.
00:50:59 I'm glad.
00:51:10 Get some rest.
00:51:19 Samuel.
00:51:41 You've done nothing for which
00:51:47 I've done nothing.
00:51:50 And for that, I am ashamed.
00:52:32 We'll go to Saint Helena.
00:52:34 That's a free slave island
00:52:39 Right under the British noses.
00:52:41 - They won't think of look...
00:52:45 Gabriel.
00:52:49 No. Your place is here now.
00:52:51 I'm going back.
00:52:54 Your duty is to your family.
00:52:58 Don't you walk away from me, boy!
00:53:00 I'll find you when it's over.
00:53:01 No, I forbid you to go!
00:53:03 - I'm not a child!
00:53:08 Goodbye, Father.
00:53:11 Gabriel.
00:53:14 Thomas is dead.
00:53:16 How many more have to die
00:53:49 I'm losing my family.
00:53:54 When will you be back, Father?
00:53:58 I don't know.
00:53:59 Tomorrow?
00:54:01 No, not tomorrow.
00:54:03 You say your prayers.
00:54:05 I will.
00:54:07 Take care of your brothers and sisters
00:54:11 I'm depending on you.
00:54:14 As I am on you, Samuel.
00:54:17 All right.
00:54:25 Susan...
00:54:29 ...goodbye.
00:54:45 Thank you.
00:56:54 Halt!
00:57:00 Make ready!
00:57:06 Take aim!
00:57:12 Fire!
00:57:26 I'm not going back.
00:57:28 No, I didn't expect you would.
00:57:35 That Gates is a damn fool.
00:57:39 He spent too many years
00:57:42 Going muzzle-to-muzzle with Redcoats
00:57:47 Halt!
00:57:48 Make ready!
00:57:51 Present!
00:57:54 Fire!
00:58:18 This battle was over before it began.
00:58:30 Retreat!
00:58:32 Retreat!
00:58:41 These rustics are so inept.
00:58:44 Nearly takes the honor
00:58:47 Nearly.
00:59:10 Hello general, gentlemen.
00:59:12 A glorious day
00:59:15 Colonel Tavington.
00:59:17 Always too early.
00:59:21 Always too eager for glory.
00:59:23 For victory, my lord.
00:59:27 I believe we took the field.
00:59:29 Next time, you'll wait
00:59:32 It appears that Colonel Tavington
00:59:37 General O'Hara tells me...
00:59:38 ...you've earned the nickname
00:59:42 We'll discuss it tomorrow.
00:59:45 Gentlemen, my compliments.
00:59:47 - To a victory.
01:00:00 Hold him firm.
01:00:19 - Where's your commanding officer?
01:00:29 It's a lost cause.
01:00:48 Benjamin Martin.
01:00:49 I'm in no mood for a lecture.
01:00:52 Where's your General Gates now?
01:00:54 The last anyone saw,
01:00:59 ...his staff 100 yards behind,
01:01:03 So who's in command?
01:01:05 I am.
01:01:07 I think.
01:01:10 What are my orders?
01:01:16 We're a breath away from losing
01:01:22 In the north, Washington is
01:01:25 He's running and hiding
01:01:28 In the south, Cornwallis has
01:01:31 Captured over 5000 of our troops
01:01:34 And he destroyed the only army
01:01:39 Nothing will stop him from
01:01:43 Unless we can keep Cornwallis
01:01:48 They've promised a fleet
01:01:51 When?
01:01:54 Six months at the earliest.
01:01:56 You trust the French
01:01:59 Absolument.
01:02:03 Benjamin Martin.
01:02:05 French Seventh Light Foot.
01:02:09 The hero of Fort Wilderness.
01:02:17 You really expect to hold Cornwallis
01:02:21 Not me. You.
01:02:25 They're not soldiers, they're farmers.
01:02:27 They'd be better off letting
01:02:30 They'd be better off,
01:02:34 How many men
01:02:36 8000 infantry.
01:02:39 Around 600 cavalry.
01:02:41 I'm giving you a field commission
01:02:44 Might I request that you transfer
01:02:47 Sir, no, I...
01:02:49 That's done.
01:02:54 Thank you.
01:02:57 Colonel, I've been a soldier
01:02:59 As a scout, horseman,
01:03:02 - Is that so?
01:03:04 Where'd you learn all that
01:03:07 My father taught me.
01:03:10 Teach you any humility?
01:03:13 He tried. It didn't take.
01:03:16 He also taught you every trail
01:03:20 ...which is why he transferred you.
01:03:22 We'll put the word out.
01:03:25 We'll cover more ground
01:03:31 Very well, corporal. You take
01:03:34 I'll start on the north side.
01:03:43 Corporal.
01:03:46 Be careful.
01:03:49 Yes, sir.
01:03:55 You have children?
01:04:02 French.
01:04:27 It skirts the mountain and then...
01:04:29 ...extends down towards
01:04:32 ...and right across to the far bank
01:04:36 It's 100,000 acres.
01:04:37 It's an imposing land grant, my lord.
01:04:40 You will be a country unto yourself.
01:04:46 His Majesty is most generous.
01:04:51 Though your service in this war
01:04:55 Yes, this is how His Majesty
01:05:00 ...who fight for him as gentlemen.
01:05:03 I dare to presume my own meager
01:05:07 You may presume too much.
01:05:10 His Majesty, like history,
01:05:13 ...and the manner in which
01:05:17 We serve the Crown, and we must
01:05:20 Surrendering troops
01:05:23 These brutal tactics must stop!
01:05:26 Is it not enough that I have
01:05:28 You serve me...
01:05:30 ...and the manner in which
01:05:35 I would've thought that a gentleman
01:05:39 ...would understand that.
01:05:42 My late father squandered any esteem
01:05:45 ...along with my inheritance.
01:05:51 I advance myself
01:05:54 You advance yourself
01:05:59 These Colonials are our brethren.
01:06:01 And when this conflict is over, we
01:06:06 Do you understand, colonel?
01:06:09 Perfectly, my lord.
01:06:54 Reverend, with your permission,
01:06:57 Young man, this is a house of God.
01:07:01 I understand that, reverend.
01:07:05 The South Carolina Militia is
01:07:09 I'm here to enlist every man willing.
01:07:12 Son...
01:07:14 ...we are here to pray...
01:07:16 ...for the souls of those men
01:07:19 Yes, pray for them.
01:07:21 But honor them by
01:07:25 And bring more suffering
01:07:28 If King George can hang those men,
01:07:33 Dan Scott...
01:07:35 ...barely a week ago you railed
01:07:41 Mr. Hardwick, how many times
01:07:44 ...speak of freedom
01:07:48 Half the men in this church,
01:07:52 ...and you, reverend...
01:07:55 ...are as ardent patriots as I.
01:08:02 Will you now, when you are needed
01:08:07 Is that the sort of men you are?
01:08:19 I ask only that you act
01:08:21 ...of which you have
01:08:25 ...and in which you
01:08:40 Who's with us?
01:09:44 Mr. Howard.
01:09:46 Sir...
01:09:47 ...may I have permission to
01:09:53 - May I have permission to write Anne?
01:09:57 You have permission...
01:09:59 ...to write me.
01:10:02 Oh, write her.
01:10:05 Very well.
01:10:09 Thank you, sir.
01:10:12 Reverend?
01:10:20 A shepherd must tend his flock.
01:10:24 And, at times, fight off the wolves.
01:11:06 Are you sure this is the right place
01:11:17 God save King George!
01:11:38 I think we came to the right place.
01:11:47 - Any bounty?
01:11:50 But you can keep or sell me the muskets
01:12:06 They hanged my brother
01:12:09 Every damned one of them Redcoats
01:12:12 - Sign up.
01:12:14 ...I wouldn't make it through
01:12:17 But you can have my Negro.
01:12:20 Occam! Get over here.
01:12:23 Ain't overly smart.
01:12:27 Can you write?
01:12:29 No, no, sir.
01:12:31 - Well, then, make your mark.
01:12:33 I just signed him over to you.
01:12:35 If you're willing, make your mark.
01:12:44 That'll do.
01:12:51 I'll kill me some Redcoats.
01:12:53 I believe you would.
01:12:55 How old are you?
01:12:56 Not quite old enough.
01:12:59 John Billings.
01:13:02 There's a story going around
01:13:04 ...got killed by a ghost
01:13:07 Carried a Cherokee tomahawk.
01:13:11 Aren't you a little old to be
01:14:20 How many did you get?
01:14:23 Twelve.
01:14:24 Good.
01:14:26 These men,
01:14:33 They're exactly the sort we need.
01:14:36 They've fought
01:14:42 What about me?
01:14:44 Hell, no.
01:14:46 Your sort gives that sort a bad name.
01:14:54 I want accuracy and precision.
01:14:58 Make ready!
01:15:04 Take aim!
01:15:10 Fire!
01:15:51 Dear Anne:
01:15:53 Our force continues to grow.
01:15:55 As long as we continue to fight,
01:16:00 I long to see you and speak to you.
01:16:03 I'm hopeful that our duties
01:16:06 Until then, I am and will remain
01:16:10 Gabriel.
01:16:38 We surrender!
01:16:41 No! God, stop!
01:16:43 For the love of God, we...
01:16:46 These men were about to surrender!
01:16:49 Perhaps.
01:16:51 We will never know.
01:16:52 This is murder!
01:16:54 Hell, reverend, they're Redcoats.
01:17:00 - We're better than that.
01:17:02 I know the difference
01:17:05 Go back to church!
01:17:06 Quiet!
01:17:10 He's right.
01:17:12 Quarter will be given to British
01:17:15 They gave no quarter when they fired on
01:17:20 I watched from 200 yards off
01:17:24 - All my sympathy, but my order stands.
01:17:28 Who are you to give such an order?
01:17:31 I know what you did
01:17:37 We're militia.
01:17:41 Every man here is free to
01:17:44 But while you're here...
01:17:45 ...you will obey my command
01:17:54 - Damn dogs!
01:17:56 - Stay that pistol.
01:18:05 - Rum, Madeira.
01:18:08 Officers' uniforms.
01:18:09 What you think all this is worth?
01:18:13 It's the personal correspondence
01:18:18 This is his journal.
01:18:21 I say we drink the wine, eat the dogs
01:18:25 Eat the dogs?
01:18:28 Dog is a fine meal.
01:18:31 Good heavens.
01:18:45 I have some maps here for you.
01:18:48 Put them down over there.
01:18:52 Here. A proper musket for you.
01:18:55 I don't know about you, but I don't like
01:19:02 Your sense of freedom is
01:19:11 Don't listen to them.
01:19:15 If we win this war,
01:19:18 What will change?
01:19:21 They call this the New World.
01:19:28 But we'll have a chance
01:19:34 A world where all men are
01:19:39 Equal.
01:19:42 Sounds good.
01:19:45 I've just been in the mind
01:19:50 Cornwallis knows more about warfare
01:19:55 That's cheerful news.
01:19:57 His victories at Camden and
01:20:02 And he knows it, what's more.
01:20:06 Perhaps that's his weakness.
01:20:08 Sir?
01:20:11 Pride.
01:20:13 Pride's a weakness.
01:20:15 Personally, I would prefer stupidity.
01:20:20 Pride will do.
01:20:32 Finished, my lord.
01:20:35 I've taken it in at the back...
01:20:37 ...added wider epaulets
01:20:40 - It's a horse blanket.
01:20:43 It's really quite nice.
01:20:46 - Very nice, my lord.
01:20:50 Colonel Tavington,
01:20:53 ...am I still attending a ball
01:20:57 ...when I should be attending balls
01:21:00 First, the theft of my baggage...
01:21:01 ...including my memoirs,
01:21:05 Then half the bridges and ferries
01:21:09 If you can't protect our supply lines
01:21:12 ...how do you intend doing so against
01:21:15 They won't fight like Regulars.
01:21:18 Colonel, they're militia.
01:21:21 They're farmers with pitchforks!
01:21:25 They're rather more than that,
01:21:27 Made so by their commander,
01:21:30 Oh, ghost, ghost, ghost.
01:21:34 You created this ghost, colonel.
01:21:37 Your brutality swelled his ranks.
01:21:39 Without them this ghost
01:21:42 ...and I'd be
01:21:44 In my defense, my lord...
01:21:46 Oh, enough, enough!
01:21:48 A fine soldier you are,
01:21:54 Give me the horse blanket.
01:21:59 O'Hara, our supply ship appears
01:22:03 Yes, my lord, it has.
01:22:05 Then why am I still wearing this rag?
01:22:07 Your replacement wardrobe is
01:22:10 ...Colonel Tavington thought it best to
01:22:15 They are being unloaded.
01:22:28 You look good in that color.
01:22:31 It stinks.
01:22:34 Well, it's had a dead man in it.
01:22:37 The beasts took your dogs too?
01:22:39 Yes.
01:22:41 Fine animals.
01:22:45 Dead now, for all I know.
01:22:47 Is there no decency?
01:22:59 Oh, fireworks. Lovely!
01:23:34 Mr. Howard.
01:23:37 I've come to call on Anne.
01:23:45 I've come to call on Anne!
01:23:48 Well, of course you
01:23:51 Father, stop it. You heard him.
01:23:57 Well...
01:23:59 ...call on her.
01:24:26 I'm nearly finished.
01:24:29 You needn't worry, Father.
01:24:31 Yeah, I know.
01:24:33 Bundling bags are a wonderful
01:24:39 Be still.
01:24:41 Tea?
01:24:43 Please.
01:24:46 There.
01:24:56 Come, dear.
01:25:09 It's very good.
01:25:13 I'm pleased that you like it.
01:25:24 Peter.
01:25:26 Don't worry. I sew better
01:25:33 I hope so.
01:25:40 If you're just gonna stand there...
01:25:43 ...why don't you read it for us?
01:25:45 I can't read.
01:25:49 I can.
01:25:54 "Take notice.
01:25:56 By order of General Washington
01:25:59 ...all bound slaves who give
01:26:03 ...in the Continental Army...
01:26:05 ...will be granted freedom...
01:26:08 ...and be paid a bounty of five
01:26:12 Did you hear that?
01:26:14 First they'll free them,
01:26:17 Only another six months.
01:26:22 What will you do with freedom?
01:26:35 I made this for you.
01:26:53 Look after your mother.
01:27:01 You know, Peter...
01:27:03 ...I can't pay you for this.
01:27:05 Benjamin, you pay me what you can,
01:27:09 I'm obliged.
01:27:12 Gabriel sure reminds me a lot of you.
01:27:17 No, no, he's more like his mother.
01:27:21 Corporal!
01:27:23 Take your time. Dogs.
01:27:42 Sir.
01:28:30 This road is closed.
01:28:32 These wagons now belong to
01:28:35 Ready arms!
01:28:50 By twos!
01:29:01 There's no need for your men to die.
01:29:05 This is the king's highway.
01:29:07 And I advise you and your men
01:29:17 Charge!
01:29:19 Fire!
01:29:21 Retreat!
01:29:29 Save yourselves!
01:29:59 Retreat!
01:30:19 Ambush! Ambush!
01:30:55 I have the count.
01:30:58 22 are dead.
01:31:00 18 wounded and 20 are missing.
01:31:03 I'm through.
01:31:10 He won't be the last to leave.
01:31:13 Trust me.
01:31:15 - The French army is...
01:31:17 And to hell with the French army.
01:31:19 We don't need them.
01:31:20 We got Benjamin Martin.
01:31:38 Father.
01:31:40 Men always buy you drinks because
01:31:47 Strangers know more
01:31:52 Tell me what happened.
01:31:54 Your mother asked me that question
01:32:02 I was drunk and foolish enough
01:32:11 The French and the Cherokee
01:32:15 The English settlers had sought refuge
01:32:19 By the time we got there,
01:32:23 They'd left about a week before.
01:32:27 But what we found was...
01:32:32 Go on.
01:32:37 They'd killed all the settlers,
01:32:42 With the women and...
01:32:44 ...some of the children, they had...
01:32:50 We buried them all,
01:32:55 We caught up with them
01:33:01 We took our time.
01:33:05 We cut them apart slowly.
01:33:09 Piece by piece.
01:33:16 I can see their faces.
01:33:21 I can still hear their screams.
01:33:25 All but two. We let them live.
01:33:30 We sent the heads on a pallet...
01:33:32 ...with the two that lived
01:33:36 The eyes, tongues, fingers...
01:33:39 ...we put in baskets.
01:33:41 Sent them down the Asheulot
01:33:46 Soon after, the Cherokee broke
01:33:53 That's how we justified it.
01:34:04 We were...
01:34:07 ...heroes.
01:34:11 And men bought you drinks.
01:34:17 Not a day goes by where I don't ask
01:34:30 Thomas was my brother,
01:34:34 You may not believe this, but I want
01:34:40 But not at the expense of our cause.
01:34:43 There will be a time for revenge.
01:34:47 But until then, stay the course.
01:34:51 Your mother said that when
01:34:55 She'd say it to me
01:35:03 I miss him.
01:35:21 The British got 18 of our men
01:35:25 They'll be hung one at a time until
01:35:44 Reverend...
01:35:45 ...can you write a letter for me?
01:35:48 - To my wife and boy.
01:35:50 But first let us pray.
01:36:08 My lord...
01:36:10 ...there is a rider at the gates.
01:36:12 A civilian carrying a white flag.
01:36:15 I am occupied.
01:36:17 He has a pair of dogs with him.
01:36:20 Great Danes.
01:36:23 And dear Lord...
01:36:24 ...protect us in this,
01:36:27 This we ask in the name
01:36:31 And the Holy Ghost.
01:36:38 Wait here.
01:36:39 General Lord Cornwallis will be
01:37:25 Jupiter, Mars. Come, boys.
01:37:31 Come.
01:37:35 My good boys. My brave boys.
01:37:41 I thank you for that.
01:37:43 I'm afraid I don't know your name.
01:37:46 I'm a colonel in the Continental Army.
01:37:51 As you wish.
01:37:53 Please be seated.
01:37:55 Thank you.
01:37:58 Would you, as the initiating officer,
01:38:02 I will, unless you'd like to
01:38:05 Yes, I would like to claim
01:38:08 Very well, sir. Proceed.
01:38:10 You have in your possession
01:38:15 ...furniture, personal effects
01:38:19 ...which I'd like returned to me.
01:38:21 Indeed. I will do so
01:38:25 Thank you.
01:38:27 Now we come to the matter
01:38:30 ...of officers during engagements.
01:38:33 You must know that in civilized
01:38:36 ...must not be accorded inappropriate
01:38:41 To your mind, what are appropriate
01:38:45 Imagine the chaos that would follow...
01:38:48 ...from leaderless armies
01:38:51 There must be gentlemen in command
01:38:55 ...and, where necessary,
01:38:59 Restrain them from, say, targeting
01:39:06 That's a separate issue.
01:39:08 No. I consider them linked.
01:39:11 And as long as your soldiers
01:39:13 ...I will order the shooting
01:39:19 And my men are excellent marksmen.
01:39:26 Very well.
01:39:27 - Now, let us move on to...
01:39:32 Sir?
01:39:33 You have 18 of my men.
01:39:44 I do have 18 criminals
01:39:48 ...but I hold no prisoners of war.
01:39:51 If that's your position,
01:39:55 Nineteen, if you hang me
01:39:57 My officers?
01:39:58 Sir.
01:40:07 Top of the ridge, to your left.
01:40:23 Their names and ranks?
01:40:24 They refused to give names. There are
01:40:29 ...and one fat colonel
01:40:32 ...a cheeky fellow.
01:40:35 This is not the conduct
01:40:38 If the conduct of your officers is
01:40:41 ...I'll take that as a compliment.
01:40:45 Get my men.
01:40:50 - Arrange the exchange.
01:40:53 Thank you, sir.
01:41:26 Release the prisoners!
01:41:32 - What is this?
01:41:35 He has 18 of our officers.
01:41:36 Who is he? I recognize him.
01:41:39 He's the commander of the militia.
01:41:42 - Your ghost.
01:41:45 He rode in under a white flag
01:41:48 This is madness.
01:41:50 If you harm him,
01:41:53 With respect, sir, he's killed as many
01:41:58 He has shown no aggression here.
01:42:03 Has he not?
01:42:08 You!
01:42:10 So you're the ghost, are you?
01:42:13 On that farm! That stupid little boy!
01:42:22 Did he die?
01:42:27 You know...
01:42:29 ...it's an ugly business,
01:42:32 But just occasionally...
01:42:35 ...it's a real pleasure.
01:42:40 Before this war is over,
01:42:47 Why wait?
01:42:58 Soon.
01:43:32 Move out!
01:43:38 But I still think it's imperative
01:43:44 One of our captured officers, my lord.
01:43:52 My reputation suffers
01:43:55 That man insults me!
01:43:59 Quite impressive for a farmer with
01:44:10 I want you to find that man.
01:44:13 I want you to capture him.
01:44:17 The man has
01:44:19 They protect him. Protect his family.
01:44:22 Protect the families of his men.
01:44:25 I can capture him for you.
01:44:28 But to do so requires the use
01:44:34 What was the word
01:44:38 "Brutal," I think.
01:44:48 Go on.
01:44:58 I am prepared to do
01:45:01 I alone will assume the full mantle
01:45:06 ...free of the chain of command...
01:45:08 ...rendering you blameless.
01:45:11 However...
01:45:13 ...if I do this...
01:45:15 ...you and I both know that I can
01:45:22 What, I wonder, is to become of me?
01:45:33 When this war is over here
01:45:37 ...the new aristocracy...
01:45:40 ...will be landowners.
01:45:50 Tell me about Ohio.
01:45:58 Make way.
01:46:00 As you were.
01:46:04 Wilkins. A plantation seven miles
01:46:09 ...east of Black Swamp.
01:46:13 Benjamin Martin.
01:46:15 He's the ghost.
01:46:17 What do you know about him?
01:46:19 Hell, everything.
01:46:23 Does he have family?
01:46:36 His wife's sister has a plantation.
01:46:39 It's not far.
01:47:15 Aunt Charlotte!
01:47:23 Get the boys.
01:47:27 Margaret, come quickly.
01:47:30 - Let's go.
01:47:34 Go.
01:47:39 Stay close.
01:47:47 This way.
01:48:05 Follow me.
01:48:09 We'll go downstairs to the kitchen.
01:48:18 Margaret, quick!
01:48:32 Samuel, get down there fast!
01:49:32 Beneath the sill. There.
01:49:36 There's no one in the house.
01:49:38 They can't be far.
01:49:40 Search the outbuildings
01:50:20 Prepare to fire the house.
01:50:23 Go.
01:50:44 This one's head of the house slaves.
01:50:51 Where are they hiding?
01:50:56 Keep looking!
01:51:04 - Gabriel.
01:51:06 Torch the house!
01:51:26 To horse!
01:51:34 Come on! It's all right.
01:51:36 Susan, come here.
01:51:47 Charlotte!
01:52:04 They won't stop looking for us.
01:52:09 You'll be safe where we're taking you.
01:52:12 Father said it was
01:52:18 How is he?
01:52:24 I don't know. I'm his son.
01:52:26 Where is Father?
01:52:30 Speaking for months now.
01:52:32 Speaking for months.
01:52:33 Why did he go?
01:52:37 He didn't want those mean men
01:52:41 He'll come see you
01:52:44 I don't care. I hate him.
01:52:48 Susan, you don't hate him.
01:52:50 I hate him, and I hope
01:53:28 It's the children.
01:53:31 Abigale!
01:53:34 You're alive!
01:53:45 I know it's not much,
01:54:08 It's beautiful.
01:54:11 Thank you.
01:54:25 She spoke. Susan talked to you?
01:54:29 In full sentences.
01:54:31 As if she'd been speaking all along.
01:54:36 Damn, I wasn't there for it.
01:54:39 What did she say?
01:54:43 She said...
01:54:46 ...that she loves you
01:54:50 ...but understands
01:54:55 My Lord, she said that.
01:54:58 Isn't that something?
01:55:03 Tavington has a list of our men.
01:55:06 ...killing whomever resists.
01:55:09 - Where?
01:56:00 John.
01:56:11 John, this is not a time
01:56:14 This is a time for mourning.
01:56:21 John.
01:56:32 No!
01:56:51 Attend to your families.
01:56:55 One week furlough for all men.
01:56:58 Any man who does not return will not
01:57:19 Father!
01:57:21 Papa!
01:57:29 They're huge.
01:57:32 They're from good stock
01:57:43 Susan?
01:58:25 I see it. There it is. Look.
01:58:30 I got it! I got it!
01:58:33 You got it.
01:58:34 I got it!
01:58:36 - Careful.
01:58:37 - All the fish are over here.
01:58:47 Father, what changed you?
01:58:51 Are you sure I have?
01:58:53 Yes. You changed.
01:59:04 That's simple.
01:59:06 It was your mother.
01:59:12 A woman can have a strange effect
01:59:16 There were times...
01:59:19 ...I had trouble breathing
01:59:22 I know the feeling.
01:59:26 You once said...
01:59:31 ...when I had a family of my own,
01:59:37 You were right.
01:59:41 You're trying to tell me something.
02:00:00 - Apple?
02:00:08 Congratulations.
02:00:10 Anne Patricia Howard...
02:00:12 ...will you have this man to be
02:00:16 Will you love, comfort
02:00:19 ...for so long as you both shall live?
02:00:22 I will.
02:00:24 Gabriel Edward Martin, will you have
02:00:27 ...to live together
02:00:30 Will you love, comfort and honor her
02:00:34 I will.
02:00:36 Then by the power vested in me
02:00:39 ...in the Lord, our God...
02:00:41 ...I now pronounce you man and wife.
02:01:11 I'm sorry we didn't give you
02:01:14 It's fine.
02:01:15 I have something for you.
02:01:20 It belonged to Gabriel's mother.
02:01:22 It's beautiful.
02:01:24 Allow me.
02:01:27 It's the North Star.
02:01:29 That's the only star in the sky
02:01:33 It's constant, unwavering.
02:01:36 A guide.
02:01:41 I'd be honored.
02:01:48 May I?
02:01:49 - If you must.
02:02:08 May I sit with you?
02:02:09 It's a free country.
02:02:12 Or at least it will be.
02:02:26 I'm not my sister.
02:02:29 I know that.
02:02:31 Do you?
02:02:34 Yes, I do.
02:02:37 Very well, then.
02:02:43 Well?
02:02:46 Well what?
02:03:09 I'll see you in Pembroke soon.
02:03:11 Not soon enough.
02:03:13 I'm counting on you to make sure...
02:03:16 - I know.
02:03:17 - Say my prayers, take care of everyone.
02:03:26 Goodbye.
02:03:27 Goodbye.
02:03:49 Goodbye, Susan.
02:03:52 Goodbye?
02:03:57 Just one word, that's all I want.
02:04:08 All right.
02:04:37 Papa!
02:04:41 Papa, don't go! I'll say anything.
02:04:48 Please, Papa.
02:04:52 I'll say anything you want.
02:04:54 Tell me what you want me to say.
02:05:00 I promise, Papa. Please don't go.
02:05:04 I promise.
02:05:06 I'll come back.
02:05:08 I'll come back. You believe me?
02:05:14 You know, you make me very happy.
02:05:52 Just the three of us?
02:05:54 John Raskin did come by earlier.
02:05:57 He looked around, then he left.
02:06:00 He would've made four.
02:06:02 Four would have been better.
02:06:39 I got another two months to go
02:06:48 Colonel.
02:06:50 Reverend.
02:06:55 Trust the French.
02:06:57 Yes, trust the French.
02:06:59 Where else do I get the opportunity
02:07:03 Perhaps a few wounded ones
02:07:33 Everyone must gather at the church.
02:07:35 Mr. Wilkins?
02:07:38 Colonel Tavington wishes to address
02:07:59 This town has given aid to
02:08:03 I wish to know his whereabouts.
02:08:07 So...
02:08:08 ...anyone who comes forward...
02:08:10 ...may be forgiven their treason.
02:08:18 Very well.
02:08:19 - You had your chance.
02:08:23 - This man gives them supplies.
02:08:25 - He brings them to Black Swamp.
02:08:28 In the marsh,
02:08:31 This man here?
02:08:32 - Yes.
02:08:35 By the old Spanish mission.
02:08:39 Thank you very much.
02:08:46 Shut the doors.
02:08:50 But you said we'd be forgiven.
02:08:52 And indeed you may!
02:08:56 That's between you and God.
02:09:05 Be strong. We must.
02:09:08 I'll fire the town on your orders.
02:09:10 The town?
02:09:12 Burn the church.
02:09:17 There's no honor in this.
02:09:21 Didn't you say all those who stand
02:09:24 ...deserve to die a traitor's death?
02:09:29 Burn the church, captain.
02:09:44 Give me the torch.
02:10:28 The honor is found in the end,
02:10:32 This will be forgotten.
02:10:34 Bordon.
02:12:15 Anne!
02:12:20 Mrs. Howard?
02:12:26 Where is everybody?
02:12:33 They're not here.
02:13:43 Gabriel's gone.
02:14:30 To arms! To arms!
02:18:52 Father.
02:18:55 Just don't talk. Don't talk.
02:19:03 Father.
02:19:05 - I'm sorry.
02:19:07 I'll take care of you.
02:19:13 I'm sorry about Thomas.
02:19:22 Oh, son, that wasn't your fault.
02:19:29 That was mine.
02:19:34 Hold on. You're gonna be all right.
02:19:40 Don't go. Gabriel, don't.
02:20:12 Oh, God help me. God help me.
02:20:48 Where is he?
02:20:58 I'll help you bury him.
02:21:02 I'll bury him.
02:21:06 My wife in Alexandria is with child.
02:21:11 My first.
02:21:13 I fight for that child.
02:21:17 Benjamin, nothing will replace
02:21:21 But if you come with us,
02:21:27 Why?
02:21:30 Why do men feel
02:21:41 Is it arrogance or?
02:21:48 I have long feared...
02:21:51 ...that my sins would return
02:21:58 And the cost is more than I can bear.
02:22:02 Benjamin, we have a chance.
02:22:06 Greene and Dan Morgan are
02:22:12 If we win this next battle, victory
02:22:16 Go, then.
02:22:17 Seek your victory.
02:22:22 - I'm small issue to it.
02:22:26 You matter to your men...
02:22:30 ...and to others as well.
02:22:32 Your victories...
02:22:34 ...and your losses...
02:22:37 ...are shared by more than you know.
02:22:40 Stay with us.
02:22:43 Stay the course.
02:22:55 I have run my course.
02:23:17 You men will be leaving with us.
02:23:22 Prepare the baggage.
02:24:28 Jean.
02:25:28 You will be missed tomorrow, colonel.
02:25:30 - Missed, my lord?
02:25:34 It's nothing, my lord.
02:25:37 I am, as ever, ready to serve.
02:25:40 Very well.
02:25:42 Make sure you do.
02:25:45 I stand on the eve of the greatest
02:25:49 My efforts in no small measure
02:25:54 I grant you that small measure...
02:25:56 ...in spite of your failure
02:26:01 Thus far.
02:26:04 I will not tolerate
02:26:07 ...born of your eagerness for glory.
02:26:11 Wait for my order.
02:26:15 Or you may abandon
02:26:23 Tomorrow's battle can alter
02:26:26 General Greene, what exactly is
02:26:29 Gentlemen,
02:26:33 Not only does he outnumber us...
02:26:35 ...but nearly half of our force
02:26:39 Unreliable, at best.
02:26:42 Excuse me, sir.
02:26:45 You underestimate our militia.
02:26:49 All of you do.
02:26:52 We've seen our militia lines break
02:26:54 Kips Bay, Princeton.
02:26:56 But the British have seen that too.
02:26:59 Cornwallis' own letters bear out that
02:27:04 What are you suggesting, Ben?
02:27:08 I'm suggesting we use that.
02:27:17 I know you men have sacrificed
02:27:21 But all I'm asking is that you...
02:27:25 ...let the front line of the militia
02:27:30 A lot can happen in the time it takes
02:27:33 Especially against British Regulars.
02:27:37 Indeed. That's why I'm not asking you
02:28:38 If I die, I will die well dressed.
02:29:26 Fire!
02:29:31 - Battalion!
02:29:51 Harry...
02:29:53 ...will you give this to my children?
02:30:06 Thank you.
02:30:16 It's October now.
02:30:21 I know.
02:30:23 It's more than 12 months.
02:30:25 You're a free man.
02:30:28 I'm here now on my own accord.
02:30:34 I'm honored to have you with us.
02:30:39 Honored.
02:30:41 Shoulder arms!
02:30:50 Forward...
02:30:52 ...march!
02:30:58 How old were your daughters?
02:31:02 Violette was 12 and Pauline, 10.
02:31:06 They had green eyes.
02:31:09 I'm sure they were lovely.
02:31:13 Yes, they were.
02:31:26 - Battalion!
02:31:28 March!
02:31:31 Fire!
02:31:35 Unless I'm dreaming...
02:31:37 ...I believe I see militia forming
02:31:55 Battalion, halt!
02:32:16 Dress ranks!
02:32:27 Make ready!
02:32:40 Battalion!
02:32:42 Halt!
02:32:46 Take aim!
02:32:51 Fire!
02:33:03 Fire!
02:33:25 Hold the line!
02:33:32 - Prepare to charge!
02:33:36 Charge!
02:33:38 Charge!
02:33:43 Tavington.
02:33:44 Damn him! Damn that man!
02:33:48 Make ready.
02:33:51 Take aim!
02:33:53 Fire!
02:33:55 Take aim!
02:33:58 Fire!
02:33:59 Retreat!
02:34:06 Bayonet charge. We'll see who takes
02:34:10 Charge!
02:34:32 Congratulations, my lord.
02:34:33 Infantry reserve into the center.
02:34:35 But you've taken the field.
02:34:37 Now we'll take their spirits.
02:34:38 Send the battalion over that hill
02:34:42 It ends today.
02:35:06 Hold the charge!
02:35:08 Fire!
02:35:10 Hold the charge!
02:35:16 Fire!
02:35:23 Take aim!
02:35:25 Fire!
02:35:35 Charge!
02:35:44 Charge bayonets!
02:36:15 Halt!
02:36:17 Hold! Dress your ranks!
02:36:21 Fire!
02:36:26 Charge!
02:36:51 Retreat!
02:36:58 Colonel!
02:37:01 The line is faltering!
02:37:04 Retreat! Retreat!
02:37:14 Wait!
02:37:16 No retreat!
02:37:22 Hold the line!
02:37:26 Hold the line!
02:37:39 Push forward, men!
02:38:32 Artillery, concentrate on the center.
02:38:49 If we reform and wheel right,
02:38:54 You dream, general.
02:41:58 Kill me before the war is over,
02:42:02 It appears you are not...
02:42:05 ...the better man.
02:42:21 You're right.
02:42:27 My sons were better men.
02:42:57 Sound the retreat.
02:43:02 Sound...
02:43:04 ...retreat.
02:43:23 Dear Charlotte:
02:43:25 The war has turned.
02:43:27 General Cornwallis took flight
02:43:31 We continued to engage the British,
02:43:34 ...Cornwallis entrenched himself
02:43:39 Washington escaped from the north...
02:43:41 ...and surrounded Cornwallis,
02:43:45 It was blocked off by
02:43:49 ...who had finally arrived.
02:43:56 Vive la France.
02:44:00 Vive la liberté.
02:44:13 My lord, I beseech you.
02:44:16 You must order the surrender.
02:44:19 How could it come to this?
02:44:23 Peasants.
02:44:26 Everything will change.
02:44:32 Everything has changed.
02:44:35 Though he eventually surrendered...
02:44:37 ...Cornwallis himself hid in shame...
02:44:40 ...appointing his subordinate to
02:44:44 With the war ending,
02:44:48 ...I take measure of what
02:44:51 ...and what we have won.
02:44:53 My hope and prayer is that
02:44:58 ...will spawn and fulfill the promise
02:45:04 Tell the children, and especially
02:45:08 ...as I will be returning
02:45:17 Where will you go now?
02:45:20 Home. Start over.
02:45:22 Your wife's expecting a child,
02:45:25 She gave birth to a son
02:45:29 What'd you name him?
02:45:32 We named him Gabriel.
02:45:40 Thank you, Harry.
02:45:48 Gabriel is a good name for a farmer.
02:45:51 It is. It is.
02:45:54 Jean.
02:45:56 Ben.
02:47:04 Gabriel said if we won the war...
02:47:07 ...we could build a whole new world.
02:47:10 Just figured we'd get started
02:47:14 ...with your home.
02:47:20 Sounds good.
02:47:25 Thank you.
02:47:31 Ma'am.
