1
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:11,682
The year 1777 was the one in which
the passions roused by the breaking off
of the American colonies from England,
2
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,751
more by their own weight
than their own will,
3
00:02:16,385 --> 00:02:19,178
boiled up to shooting point,
4
00:02:19,721 --> 00:02:22,978
the shooting being idealized in minds in England
5
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:25,549
as suppression of rebellion
6
00:02:26,379 --> 00:02:30,998
and in the colonists as the defence of liberty.
7
00:02:31,763 --> 00:02:38,161
Both sides being therefore convinced
that the most high minded course
for them to pursue
8
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:43,153
was to kill as many of one another as possible.
9
00:03:15,269 --> 00:03:16,891
Come on.
Back - you, gal.
10
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,500
Halt!
11
00:03:43,513 --> 00:03:46,299
Well. We live in wonderful time, eh, chaplain?
12
00:03:57,547 --> 00:04:02,203
And therefore send this to General Philips:
I am obliged to remove the oxen for his cannon
13
00:04:02,303 --> 00:04:05,488
because a soldier without food is of no more use
than of artillery without ammunition.
14
00:04:06,046 --> 00:04:08,620
We shall eat his oxen, sir,
and replace them with horses.
15
00:04:08,838 --> 00:04:13,043
And my compliments to Mrs. Philips.
I hope, she's ... comfortable.
Come on, sir.
16
00:04:13,618 --> 00:04:15,872
My compliments, sir.
Everything is ready.
17
00:04:16,073 --> 00:04:19,822
Ready? Everything? Nothing is ready,
Major Swindon, nothing at all!
18
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:23,947
- For the ... eh ...
- Hanging?
- Oh, the eh ...
19
00:04:25,083 --> 00:04:27,909
I should be glad to have a support
of your presence this morning, sir.
20
00:04:28,592 --> 00:04:32,165
Not particularly ... lively business -
hanging this poor devil.
21
00:04:32,385 --> 00:04:33,391
No, sir, it is not.
22
00:04:33,695 --> 00:04:35,490
It is making too much
of these people to hang them.
23
00:04:36,066 --> 00:04:37,412
Martyr themselfs is what they like.
24
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,110
It is the one way
to achieve fame without ability.
25
00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:44,885
However, as you have
committed us to hanging him:
the sooner he is hanged the better.
26
00:04:56,727 --> 00:04:58,629
At such a time we must remember ...
27
00:04:59,261 --> 00:05:02,357
we are all made of good and evil.
28
00:05:02,644 --> 00:05:05,733
Each man believes
himself to be in a right.
29
00:05:06,112 --> 00:05:13,316
And that's man enemy has the same beliefs.
But when this conflict is over
we can be sure in one thing ...
30
00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:15,727
justice will prevail.
31
00:05:17,012 --> 00:05:19,151
God cannot be set aside.
32
00:05:22,433 --> 00:05:23,880
Pastor!
33
00:05:25,564 --> 00:05:28,701
What is it, Christy?
It's a matter of life and death.
34
00:05:30,851 --> 00:05:33,802
- Oh ... I'll wait when you finish your service.
- Christy!
35
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:40,429
- What is happen?
- Father has been arrested,
by the army, in Springtown.
36
00:05:40,429 --> 00:05:42,223
- They say he is a rebel.
- What!?
37
00:05:42,883 --> 00:05:46,336
They killed uncle Peter and
they go to hang father!
38
00:05:46,656 --> 00:05:49,807
I don't know what mother will say when
she hears that I'd been interrupted the service.
39
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:54,514
- Your father is no rebel.
We all know that.
- They don't. And they won't beleive me!
40
00:05:54,544 --> 00:05:57,478
He was with uncle Peter, and you
know what uncle Peter's like.
41
00:05:57,701 --> 00:05:59,932
I'll go there myself and speak with the authorities.
42
00:06:00,304 --> 00:06:01,341
They'll believe me.
43
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:04,041
William Dudgeon, will you come with us?
44
00:06:04,541 --> 00:06:10,368
As relatives we are deeply shocked,
but what can we do?
We might be in danger ourselfs.
45
00:06:10,771 --> 00:06:13,182
- He's right, Mr. Anderson!
- Perhaps you're right.
46
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:16,696
- My friends, I must leave.
The blessing of God be with you.
- Amen.
47
00:06:16,907 --> 00:06:20,467
After all, our families
had never been very close.
48
00:06:21,463 --> 00:06:22,844
Is your mother at home?
- Yes. Oh!
49
00:06:23,197 --> 00:06:26,151
She could not come to church,
she's not very well.
50
00:06:27,173 --> 00:06:31,863
My wife will look after her.
Judith, go to Mrs. Dudgeon and stay
with her till I bring her husband home.
51
00:06:32,347 --> 00:06:34,500
Tell her that Christy and I
are gone to Springtown.
52
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,187
We'll be there within an hour.
53
00:06:36,478 --> 00:06:37,580
Anthony!
54
00:06:38,313 --> 00:06:43,316
- You take care.
- Nothing will happen to me, or to Timothy Dudgeon.
He is an innocent man.
55
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,937
Advance! Stand! Ho!
56
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:16,159
General Burgoyne,
my name is Parshotter,
I am the minister here.
57
00:07:16,596 --> 00:07:18,766
I have always preached
loyalty to the crown.
58
00:07:19,117 --> 00:07:20,872
Without sufficient eloquency, I gather.
59
00:07:20,872 --> 00:07:24,124
That wretched, misguided fellow
not one of my flock, sir.
60
00:07:24,824 --> 00:07:27,086
Not a Springtown man,
he's from Websterbridge.
61
00:07:27,417 --> 00:07:31,542
Ah, no, no, Springtown is loyal, sir.
Non a violation to non-concord here.
62
00:07:32,033 --> 00:07:36,030
In our church here we pray for king George,
and of course his armed forces.
63
00:07:36,130 --> 00:07:38,123
Thank you, sir. Most helpful.
Swindon.
64
00:07:39,884 --> 00:07:41,248
If you don't mind, minister.
65
00:07:41,684 --> 00:07:46,137
Swindon, if you could now
get the matter for your attention.
We're good enough to do up tents for the garrison.
66
00:07:46,688 --> 00:07:49,259
It may be necessary to leave troops
here when we move up.
67
00:07:49,347 --> 00:07:52,285
We already gave them one good example, sir.
There will be now no trouble here.
68
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:55,668
- I'm glad you take that view.
- Do I understand, sir, that
69
00:07:55,768 --> 00:07:58,880
in your opinion there will be further breaches ...
- I do not express my opinion.
70
00:07:59,424 --> 00:08:02,841
I never stoop to that habit of profane
language which unfortunately
71
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:06,603
coarsens our profession.
If I did, sir, perhaps I should be
able to express an opinion
72
00:08:06,703 --> 00:08:09,682
of a war office that supplied me ,
with a twice as many cavalry man
73
00:08:09,782 --> 00:08:12,766
than I have horses and
a weight of cannon so large that
74
00:08:12,866 --> 00:08:15,086
half of roads in this country
are not suited to support it.
75
00:08:16,848 --> 00:08:19,589
How do you feel, sir, if we had
to confront a colonial army
76
00:08:19,689 --> 00:08:22,989
in our present condition?
Before we have made contact with General Howe.
77
00:08:23,876 --> 00:08:27,219
Our dragoons are on foot, sir
and our artillery not even in sight.
78
00:08:27,861 --> 00:08:32,538
Count on me, General, the British soldier
will give a good account of himself.
79
00:08:33,088 --> 00:08:36,403
And therefore, I suppose, sir, the British
officer need not know his business:
80
00:08:36,505 --> 00:08:39,332
the British soldier will get him out
of all his blunders with the bayonet.
81
00:08:40,398 --> 00:08:43,450
In future, sir, I must ask you to be a little
less generous with the blood of your men,
82
00:08:43,551 --> 00:08:46,367
and a little more generous
with your own brains.
83
00:08:51,504 --> 00:08:53,193
Swindon.
84
00:08:54,922 --> 00:08:58,370
Do you at all realize, sir, that we have
nothing standing between us and destruction
85
00:08:58,470 --> 00:09:02,382
but our own bluff and the ignorance
of these backwards men?
86
00:09:02,557 --> 00:09:05,547
They are men of the same
British stock as ourselves:
87
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:09,133
six to one of us,
six to one, sir,
88
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:15,147
and half our troops are Hessians,
Brunswickers, German dragoons,
and Indians with scalping knives.
89
00:09:15,713 --> 00:09:21,214
Suppose the colonists find a leader,
what shall we do then?
90
00:09:21,701 --> 00:09:22,999
Eh?
91
00:09:24,007 --> 00:09:25,906
Our duty, sir, I presume.
92
00:09:26,272 --> 00:09:28,335
May I ask are you writing
a melodrama, Major Swindon?
93
00:09:28,915 --> 00:09:31,954
- No, sir.
- What a pity! WHhat a pity!
94
00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:35,184
Now. Go on. Way back a little.
Give back there. Go on. Back.
95
00:09:43,532 --> 00:09:44,703
Get them out of there!
96
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:53,409
Get your cart of the bridge!
Come on!
Here! Here!
97
00:10:18,728 --> 00:10:19,949
Take the reins, Christy.
98
00:10:43,672 --> 00:10:47,411
They killed father, too.
Before we even got here.
99
00:10:50,586 --> 00:10:52,166
Stay here, Christy.
100
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:07,380
- Who is the officer in charge here?
- Come on man, move away from me, and
101
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,463
- it's all over.
- I want the officer.
- Go about your business.
102
00:11:17,518 --> 00:11:20,549
- Officer! Sir!
- Right, carry on.
103
00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:25,091
- That man was from my parish.
I am his minister.
104
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:31,125
- Really?
- It's gross injustice. He is innocent.
- He was found guilty. Simple as clear.
105
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:37,538
- In the meantime I'll clear ...
- Mr. Hawkins!
- What is it?
- It's that minister of yours, from Websterbridge. He stirred up trouble.
106
00:11:38,095 --> 00:11:38,993
Damn that man!
107
00:11:39,090 --> 00:11:43,084
- Out of the question. The body remains.
- I cannot believe you mean it.
108
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,828
Anderson, don't be a fool!
109
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:03,094
Sergeant at arms,
arrest that man!
110
00:12:03,433 --> 00:12:05,803
- You can't leave that body there!
- Anderson.
111
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:09,282
Indeed, Lieutenant, this man does not
understand military necessity.
112
00:12:09,382 --> 00:12:11,984
He is a minister. A minister!
The man of peace!
113
00:12:12,084 --> 00:12:16,365
Is he? Parshotter, you vouch
for that too, I am sure.
114
00:12:16,595 --> 00:12:22,522
- Ehm ... Yes.
- He's of Websterbridge,
I've been there, that's a small village.
We don't see much of the world.
115
00:12:22,788 --> 00:12:27,677
- Timothy Dudgeon ...
- The church must support any measures
designed to save human life.
116
00:12:27,989 --> 00:12:30,520
- Don't you agree, Mr. Parshotter?
- Ehm ... Yes.
117
00:12:30,832 --> 00:12:34,262
Will you leave man's body hanging there...?
It's a warning - to others!
118
00:12:34,362 --> 00:12:37,233
- Precisely.
- You must think before you
119
00:12:37,333 --> 00:12:40,130
do anything to endanger the lifes of
innocent men and women.
120
00:12:40,231 --> 00:12:44,757
- My flock, Mr. Anderson.
- I am sure that we can vouch
for the Pastor, Lieutenant.
121
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:49,131
- Very well. Get back to your posts.
- Thank you, sir.
122
00:12:51,344 --> 00:12:52,690
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins.
123
00:12:52,936 --> 00:12:57,413
There's nothing more
to be said, my friends.
Let us all go about our business.
124
00:13:02,076 --> 00:13:05,160
Halt! Halt!
Stop him! Stop him!
Halt! Halt!
125
00:13:08,285 --> 00:13:10,370
Come on! Come on!
There he is!
Stop him!
126
00:13:31,787 --> 00:13:35,824
Home at last. I thought you'll
never get back from Springtown.
127
00:13:35,924 --> 00:13:38,342
Mrs. Dudgeon hardly spoke all that time.
128
00:13:38,442 --> 00:13:39,897
It's been a long day.
129
00:13:47,507 --> 00:13:48,931
You must be tired.
130
00:13:50,286 --> 00:13:51,329
Come straight to bed.
131
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:21,107
Who's there?
132
00:16:19,578 --> 00:16:20,609
Good evening, minister.
133
00:16:21,491 --> 00:16:24,485
- Allow me to present myself.
- Richard Dudgeon!
134
00:16:25,171 --> 00:16:30,471
You remember me! I thought that good
people of Websterbridge found more
convenient to forget me, eh?
135
00:16:31,368 --> 00:16:38,090
Oh, my father - you know quite well,
I believe. I found him in Springtown -
at a ... loose end... In fact, he ... eh ...
136
00:16:39,328 --> 00:16:43,571
- I was there.
- So you were.
With a musket in your hand?
137
00:16:44,186 --> 00:16:46,303
Then you remember
your Christian duty, eh?
138
00:16:48,106 --> 00:16:50,090
Ah, poor father.
139
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,226
Red coats did him too much credit.
He had not stomach for a rebel either.
140
00:16:55,326 --> 00:16:58,775
If you cared so little for your father,
why did you risk your life for his body?
141
00:16:58,875 --> 00:17:01,155
To annoy the English,
what ever reason?
142
00:17:01,255 --> 00:17:03,459
If you've been caught
they would hang you too.
143
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:05,529
You think it would be
any great loss, minister?
144
00:17:05,629 --> 00:17:08,766
I think a man's life is worth saving
whither it belongs to.
145
00:17:11,169 --> 00:17:13,593
Would you come inside?
We'd given you some supper.
146
00:17:15,221 --> 00:17:16,101
No.
147
00:17:16,976 --> 00:17:21,070
You know, another Minister would ask you
to supper and treat you to a sermon.
148
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:30,846
Bury him quickly, before
the memory of his death
149
00:17:30,946 --> 00:17:33,849
makes you forget
that you are a man of peace.
150
00:17:34,332 --> 00:17:37,152
Your father shall have a Christian burial,
Mr. Dudgeon.
151
00:17:37,679 --> 00:17:39,403
as you intended.
152
00:17:40,292 --> 00:17:44,571
How like a parson. All you so eager
to be the best of his fellow men.
153
00:17:44,672 --> 00:17:48,006
Save your breath, pastor,
you can't convert me!
154
00:17:48,566 --> 00:17:51,222
I was fond of a good psalm
singing in a little church choir,
155
00:17:51,496 --> 00:17:55,225
but I saw that the world cringed
before your Almighty only through fear.
156
00:17:56,917 --> 00:17:58,980
And I made the devil's acquaint.
157
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:03,547
Yeh, I knew that he was my
natural master, captain and friend.
158
00:18:03,647 --> 00:18:06,071
And I prayed secretly to him,
and he comforted me.
159
00:18:06,171 --> 00:18:10,072
I promised him my soul, and
swore an oath that I would
stand up for him in this world
160
00:18:10,172 --> 00:18:12,097
and stand by him in the next.
161
00:18:17,052 --> 00:18:20,258
That promise and that oath
made a man of me.
162
00:18:44,530 --> 00:18:46,446
Tony.
163
00:18:48,175 --> 00:18:50,229
Tony.
164
00:18:56,450 --> 00:18:58,280
Tony, I saw someone, did you?
165
00:18:59,909 --> 00:19:01,582
Tony, who was he?
166
00:19:02,499 --> 00:19:03,789
Richard Dudgeon.
167
00:19:04,592 --> 00:19:06,146
Here?
168
00:19:07,209 --> 00:19:08,438
In Websterbridge?
169
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,504
What did he want?
170
00:19:15,675 --> 00:19:17,316
Brought back his father's body.
171
00:19:18,405 --> 00:19:19,668
Do you mean that ...
172
00:19:20,349 --> 00:19:21,757
Gallows?
173
00:19:24,011 --> 00:19:25,290
But how?
174
00:19:26,572 --> 00:19:27,945
Go to bed, Judith.
175
00:19:28,165 --> 00:19:29,839
I'll tell you all about in the morning.
176
00:19:35,450 --> 00:19:37,526
But they said it could not be taken.
177
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:40,238
He didn't ask.
178
00:19:47,292 --> 00:19:49,275
There's no need to reproach yourself.
179
00:19:50,581 --> 00:19:53,288
You did everything you could ...
for Mr. Dudgeon.
180
00:19:53,644 --> 00:19:56,970
- Judith ...
- After all the people break
the law of the country ...
181
00:19:57,384 --> 00:20:01,018
Judith, we don't seem to understand
what that fighting means.
182
00:20:02,258 --> 00:20:05,741
- We don't ...
- No, we don't expect to so.
183
00:20:05,835 --> 00:20:07,896
Let's hope we never will.
184
00:20:38,329 --> 00:20:40,281
You so long have been there.
185
00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:45,741
Did you talk to him?
186
00:20:49,894 --> 00:20:51,307
What did he say?
187
00:20:53,135 --> 00:20:56,317
Nothing, Judith.
Nothing you want to hear.
188
00:20:57,562 --> 00:20:59,262
And I to remember.
189
00:21:01,544 --> 00:21:03,530
And now we commit his body to the ground.
190
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,101
- Amen.
- Aye.
- Amen.
191
00:21:23,742 --> 00:21:27,575
This is the last will and testament
of me, Timothy Dudgeon.
192
00:21:27,725 --> 00:21:31,603
And I hereby revoke all former wills made by me
193
00:21:31,703 --> 00:21:33,645
and declare ...
194
00:21:34,207 --> 00:21:38,522
- Who asked you here?
Good morning, mother. Keeping up
appearances as usual. That's right.
195
00:21:38,622 --> 00:21:43,075
- That's right.
- Leave my house.
- How do you know it's your house until the will is read?
196
00:21:43,925 --> 00:21:47,561
My dear relatives!
Sit down, sit down.
197
00:21:48,175 --> 00:21:53,459
Well, all here for the feast.
Even little cinder girl. Hello Essie.
198
00:21:54,682 --> 00:21:58,473
Uncle William! I haven't seen you
since you gave up drinking.
199
00:22:00,023 --> 00:22:03,000
Uncle Titus, you old horse thief!
200
00:22:04,648 --> 00:22:08,273
The minister! I should have accepted
your invitation to supper the other night.
201
00:22:08,373 --> 00:22:12,155
I understand your wife has a most
ungodly allowance of good looks.
202
00:22:12,323 --> 00:22:14,018
You are in the presence of my wife, sir.
203
00:22:16,248 --> 00:22:19,767
Your servant, madam:
You deserve your reputation,
204
00:22:19,950 --> 00:22:22,655
but I'm sorry to see by your expression
that you're a good woman.
205
00:22:23,356 --> 00:22:26,959
All the same, Pastor,
I respect you more than I did before.
206
00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:30,700
- Be a shame on yourself, sir.
- Oh, I am, I am, but - proud
207
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,819
of my relatives.
Proceed Mr. Hawkins, proceed.
208
00:22:34,848 --> 00:22:39,175
and declare: this is my real will
according to my own wish
209
00:22:39,276 --> 00:22:44,748
and affection.
- For what we are about to receive,
may the Lord make us truly thankful.
210
00:22:46,022 --> 00:22:51,559
I give and bequeath to my younger son Christopher
fifty pounds to be paid him
211
00:22:51,697 --> 00:22:56,137
on the day of his marriage to
Sarah Wilkins if she will have him.
212
00:22:56,337 --> 00:22:59,190
How if she won't have him?
She will if I have fifty pounds.
213
00:22:59,905 --> 00:23:02,332
Very good, brother.
Proceed, Mr. Hawkins.
214
00:23:03,864 --> 00:23:11,033
I give and bequeath my house at Websterbridge
and all the rest of my property soever
215
00:23:11,135 --> 00:23:14,036
to my eldest son and heir,
Richard Dudgeon.
216
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,744
The calf, minister, the fatted calf.
217
00:23:20,794 --> 00:23:25,450
Finally I gave and bequeath my soul
into my Maker's hands,
humbly asking forgiveness
218
00:23:25,550 --> 00:23:32,159
for all my sins, and hoping that
I have not done wrong in the perplexity
of my last hour in this strange place.
219
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,913
- Amen.
- Amen.
220
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:36,815
My mother does not say "Amen".
221
00:23:51,584 --> 00:23:56,290
He had nothing of his own.
His money was the money
I brought him as my marriage portion.
222
00:23:56,305 --> 00:24:00,293
- And this is my reward!
- Mrs. Dudgeon, I ...
- You let him rob me!
223
00:24:09,757 --> 00:24:14,112
Mr. Hawkins, is that true,
Do you have a rightful legal will
leaving everything to Mrs. Dudgeon?
224
00:24:14,512 --> 00:24:16,676
There is such a will.
225
00:24:16,841 --> 00:24:18,925
And the new one? Is that ...
226
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:22,407
Is that a proper will?
227
00:24:22,607 --> 00:24:25,353
The courts will sustain it
against the other.
228
00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:29,384
the courts will sustain
the claim of any man -
and that man the eldest son -
229
00:24:29,485 --> 00:24:32,536
against any woman, if they can.
Good day, thank you.
230
00:24:45,707 --> 00:24:50,152
That's right! Eat, drink, be merry.
Maybe a last chance.
231
00:24:51,261 --> 00:24:54,665
I passed the soldiers within
six miles on my way here.
232
00:24:54,846 --> 00:24:56,866
What have we to fear from that, sir?
233
00:24:56,966 --> 00:24:59,163
Well, we're all rebels,
and you know it.
234
00:24:59,221 --> 00:25:00,808
- Oh, no, no!
- Yes, you are.
235
00:25:01,108 --> 00:25:04,042
You haven't damned King George
as I have, no one has
236
00:25:04,142 --> 00:25:08,834
the courage to fight, but you all wait
for the outcome before you pay your taxes.
237
00:25:08,934 --> 00:25:11,337
It's treason enough for his majesty.
238
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:13,690
Treason!
239
00:25:18,498 --> 00:25:21,210
Mark my words, Parson, it won't be
long before Major Swindon's
240
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:23,907
gallows for rebels
wrap around all the village green.
241
00:25:25,353 --> 00:25:28,008
Wolf right in your own fold.
242
00:25:28,959 --> 00:25:31,913
What for a good shepherd do then? Eh?
243
00:25:38,273 --> 00:25:43,328
- Mother, where are you going?
- Your mother has the sight that
she doesn't want to stay.
244
00:25:48,935 --> 00:25:50,425
Mother ...
245
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:54,182
My curse on you!
246
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,909
You cannot leave that girl there.
To live with him in the house?
247
00:26:06,595 --> 00:26:08,510
Essie will come to no harm.
248
00:26:17,773 --> 00:26:19,032
Essie!
249
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:24,956
Essie!
250
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Essie!
251
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:55,573
Have you come back for something?
252
00:26:56,835 --> 00:26:59,456
That child is not here safe even if you are.
253
00:27:00,458 --> 00:27:01,788
Essie!
254
00:27:05,584 --> 00:27:10,240
Don't be afraid, Essie.
Mrs. Anderson wants to rescue you
from the house of a devil.
255
00:27:13,646 --> 00:27:14,813
Essie.
256
00:27:19,703 --> 00:27:24,508
She's had enough of a self-righteousness.
Like all little lambs all she knows that you will stab her.
257
00:27:25,592 --> 00:27:27,542
Was there anything else, Mrs. Anderson?
258
00:27:29,564 --> 00:27:33,688
I wish to go.
I shan't stop you.
259
00:27:52,801 --> 00:27:57,235
I can't get him out of my mind.
He insulted you: he insulted me:
he insulted his mother.
260
00:27:57,435 --> 00:28:01,202
- Try not to upset yourself, my dear.
- Oh, I know it's wrong to hate anybody, but -
261
00:28:01,205 --> 00:28:03,060
It's worst to be indifferent.
262
00:28:04,012 --> 00:28:06,508
It's worst sin of all -
not to care about the people.
263
00:28:07,914 --> 00:28:12,369
I don't like Richard.
I don't like what he says
and the way behaves.
264
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:17,326
There is something about him that makes
me respect him in spite of this all.
265
00:28:18,377 --> 00:28:20,179
In spite of insult too.
266
00:28:21,182 --> 00:28:23,084
I don't think he'd like that.
267
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,054
Judith.
268
00:28:29,292 --> 00:28:31,391
You not so wicked,
as you think, I am sure.
269
00:28:31,697 --> 00:28:33,748
They say that hate is very close to love.
270
00:28:34,148 --> 00:28:36,551
I am sure you are fonder of Richard
than you are of me, if you only knew it.
271
00:28:36,851 --> 00:28:37,973
Don't say that!
272
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:44,110
All right my dear. He's a bad man,
and you hate him as he deserves.
Shall we have our tea?
273
00:29:04,287 --> 00:29:06,039
What's the matter, Judith?
274
00:29:06,139 --> 00:29:08,142
You always think the best of everyone.
275
00:29:10,996 --> 00:29:12,548
I am going to change now.
276
00:29:53,501 --> 00:29:56,204
Sergeant!
Nail the proclamation to the church door.
277
00:30:06,367 --> 00:30:07,835
Hey, you!
278
00:30:08,271 --> 00:30:09,793
Come here!
279
00:30:11,974 --> 00:30:13,308
Hold it.
280
00:30:30,547 --> 00:30:32,399
- You better tell to parson to read that.
- Sir.
281
00:30:32,999 --> 00:30:35,401
Martial law. Curfew!
282
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:39,804
- The army will be before nightfall. Here!
- But, sir ...
283
00:30:51,924 --> 00:30:54,626
Sir, that's the man we hanged, from Springtown!
His body's buried here!
284
00:30:55,928 --> 00:30:58,774
All right, sergeant, carry on.
I'll report that to Major Swindon.
285
00:31:14,052 --> 00:31:18,174
- What is it, Essie.
- They saw the grave. Mr. Richard brought the body.
They'll hang him!
286
00:31:19,587 --> 00:31:22,363
- Is he at the farm?
- I don't know where he is!
287
00:31:23,965 --> 00:31:30,267
I'll find him. You go home. If the soldiers
come tell them that Richard is gone.
You understand? Left the village alltogether.
288
00:31:35,129 --> 00:31:36,407
Go home, Essie.
289
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,697
It was not very far from
Springtown to Websterbridge.
290
00:31:49,047 --> 00:31:52,551
General Burgoyne and his army
had only to pass through the forest.
291
00:31:53,051 --> 00:31:57,709
While they were all civilized, disciplined
and well trained troops, however,
292
00:31:57,709 --> 00:32:01,011
their military thinking was no match to that of
293
00:32:01,111 --> 00:32:04,818
uncivilized, indisciplined and undrilled enemy.
294
00:32:05,268 --> 00:32:11,024
And it had not occured to them,
that the Yanks on occasion
could be mightier than they thought.
295
00:32:13,278 --> 00:32:16,833
What the devil you do in idling there?
We got to get through here by the night.
296
00:32:17,464 --> 00:32:19,236
- Get these men to work!
- Yes, sir!
297
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,447
Get those carts out of the way!
Sergeant, get your's men on their feet.
298
00:32:27,747 --> 00:32:28,838
Swindon!
299
00:32:34,004 --> 00:32:35,967
I hope I didn't deafen you, my dear.
300
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,994
- Sir?
- Major Swindon, are you professioned at all in arithmetics?
- Arithmetics, sir?
301
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:47,069
If you are, sir, you will be as aware as I am
that it is a fourth obstruction in these many miles.
302
00:32:47,973 --> 00:32:50,377
At this rate we'll be lucky
to reach Albany by Christmas.
303
00:32:50,777 --> 00:32:53,778
You and your men, sir, are
charged with protection of our column.
304
00:32:54,281 --> 00:32:57,487
Picked troops against a few colonial
ruffians and what is the outcome?
305
00:32:57,787 --> 00:33:00,795
Trees fell at our path every night,
snipers in the ...
306
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:14,229
- Both together now apparently.
- Get the Indians. Come on! Quick! Quick!
More, more, more! More, more, more!
307
00:33:18,312 --> 00:33:21,816
The Indians will get him, sir.
Will they? Will they indeed?
308
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:25,373
From past observations, sir, they appear
to believe that any scalp is welcome.
309
00:33:25,870 --> 00:33:27,894
Whig or Tory, man, woman or child.
310
00:33:28,202 --> 00:33:33,229
Unfortunately, they seem to pick more often
on those of his Majesty's friends than his enemies,
and the snipers continue to flourish.
311
00:33:34,483 --> 00:33:38,238
- What's there?
- The patrol from Websterbridge, sir.
312
00:33:38,438 --> 00:33:41,942
At last. Find out how many trees
we shall have to continue to move
to get from here to there.
313
00:33:44,648 --> 00:33:46,549
I shall wait in Websterbridge for my artillery.
314
00:33:47,255 --> 00:33:51,153
I presume General Philips can find horses
enough in Springtown even for his
requirements though they are weak.
315
00:33:52,204 --> 00:33:53,257
What soup is this?
316
00:33:54,959 --> 00:33:57,342
- Rattlesnake, sir.
- It's delicious.
317
00:33:58,464 --> 00:34:01,167
Well, Swindon.
Some further disaster, I take it.
318
00:34:01,567 --> 00:34:05,464
- What is it now? Wolfs?
- It's rebellion, sir.
- You don't say so.
319
00:34:06,036 --> 00:34:10,126
The man, Dudgeon, he's been buried in Websterbridge.
Taken from Springtown, as you know, sir, and buried there.
320
00:34:10,429 --> 00:34:12,076
- Against my orders!
- Deplorable!
321
00:34:12,583 --> 00:34:17,135
Your orders apart, however, what chance is that
we are reaching this place before sundown?
And what with the road? Is it clear?
322
00:34:17,546 --> 00:34:18,642
Perfectly clear, sir.
323
00:34:24,948 --> 00:34:28,259
Perfectly clear, isn't it?
You heard that, I think.
324
00:34:28,802 --> 00:34:31,456
The sound that keeps me awake
every night since we left Canada.
325
00:34:32,008 --> 00:34:35,112
They are felling them in the daytime
now, Swindon. In the daytime!
326
00:34:35,312 --> 00:34:37,825
With your permission, sir, I shall make
an example at Websterbridge.
327
00:34:38,125 --> 00:34:42,016
Do what you please in Websterbridge,
man, but get us there. Get us there!
328
00:34:52,434 --> 00:34:53,726
Storekeeper!
329
00:34:54,606 --> 00:34:56,889
Yes. We don't keep much.
330
00:34:57,189 --> 00:34:58,341
You'll be lucky if you keep anything.
331
00:34:58,541 --> 00:35:03,047
- Requisition order: salt, tea, sugar,
tobacco, grain. Where's the storeroom?
- In back here.
332
00:35:05,149 --> 00:35:08,653
- What about payment?
- Just see the paymaster.
He'll pay you!
333
00:35:11,959 --> 00:35:13,472
We have just nothing left.
334
00:35:14,712 --> 00:35:17,666
They can't do this to us, can they? ...
Mr. Hawkins!
335
00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:22,173
Some is legally surprised ...
Eh, Mr. Hawkins?
336
00:35:24,174 --> 00:35:26,478
Just access the paymaster,
and he'll pay you.
337
00:35:26,541 --> 00:35:30,082
Nice fresh paper money.
Legal tender, isn't that so, Mr. Hawkins.
338
00:35:30,733 --> 00:35:33,636
Of course you can't buy anything
with it and you can't eat it,
339
00:35:34,037 --> 00:35:37,491
smoke it and make tea with it but
you have no legal complaint just the same.
340
00:35:37,791 --> 00:35:39,495
Isn't it so, Mr Hawkins?
341
00:35:42,998 --> 00:35:45,703
One case of best imported Indian tea.
342
00:35:46,203 --> 00:35:52,790
And then what they take over: your crutch,
your livestock, your liquer, even your wives -
it's all in the name of the law!
343
00:35:57,115 --> 00:36:01,120
There is only one way
to change the law of that sort -
get rid of the people who make them.
344
00:36:02,866 --> 00:36:04,528
And that's illegal, isn't it, Mr. Hawkins?
345
00:36:06,228 --> 00:36:07,930
Mr. Hawkins has no answer.
346
00:36:08,733 --> 00:36:10,736
Some of our countrymen
think they found one.
347
00:36:12,236 --> 00:36:15,739
There's been some ... fighting
or so they tell me.
348
00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:21,445
Ha! That's no game for pious men,
good citizens, law abiding lawyers, no...
349
00:36:21,998 --> 00:36:27,302
- As you have so strong views, why
don't you stop talking and do something.
- Me?
350
00:36:27,957 --> 00:36:31,974
I've no respect for any sort of law, so
what do I care what kinds enforce them.
351
00:37:03,052 --> 00:37:10,308
Reminds your home, that it? ... Eh,
you've come a long way, gentlemen? ...
Long way is to go back.
352
00:37:12,170 --> 00:37:16,636
- Hey, corporal, how long were you off home?
- One year and four months.
353
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:18,821
That's much they gain when they enlist ...
354
00:37:20,124 --> 00:37:24,229
Your wife might have lost her looks.
Poor one might even lost his wife.
355
00:37:27,635 --> 00:37:30,986
All right, Corporal, don't take me seriously.
If he did, he'd be insulting his own wife.
356
00:37:31,386 --> 00:37:36,391
Oh, british soldier's wife
knows her duty I'm sure.
Oh, I'm sure.
357
00:37:44,455 --> 00:37:47,060
Ah, now here's the man
you should speak to.
358
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:53,506
He wears an uniform too, in his own way,
and he has a wife pretty enough to put
him some problems. Hey, minister.
359
00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:56,833
- By the way, Mr. Dudgeon,
I have a message for you.
- Good evening, minister.
360
00:37:57,233 --> 00:37:59,203
- Hello, Paddy.
- What message?
361
00:37:59,624 --> 00:38:04,080
- From Essie.
- Well, deliver it. Why not? I have nothing
to hide from my friends here.
362
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,875
- She wants you.
- Thank you. I should be at home.
363
00:38:08,075 --> 00:38:09,310
I advise you to come now.
364
00:38:09,810 --> 00:38:11,847
Minister, you're not at your pulpit here.
365
00:38:15,806 --> 00:38:19,798
We had a conversation once, Mr. Dudgeon,
when I invited you in to supper.
366
00:38:20,851 --> 00:38:24,023
The matter that brought us together
at that time has a reason again.
367
00:38:25,968 --> 00:38:27,095
It has?
368
00:38:28,932 --> 00:38:31,265
I thought it was ... buried,
and done with.
369
00:38:31,916 --> 00:38:35,022
It might be too late for supper this time.
Will you come?
370
00:38:36,123 --> 00:38:39,175
- Your wife at home?
- Yes.
- How can I refuse!
371
00:38:41,427 --> 00:38:45,378
Gentlemen, I wish you
the fortunes of war -
death or glory.
372
00:38:47,186 --> 00:38:50,890
Take my advice - write to her.
Even the letter is something to take to bed.
373
00:39:14,621 --> 00:39:16,078
Tony, I began to wonder ...
374
00:39:17,275 --> 00:39:21,025
- He is in danger.
- Oh, he's wrong.
It's your husband who is in danger.
375
00:39:21,425 --> 00:39:23,014
- Tony ...
- He's only trying to fright you.
376
00:39:23,514 --> 00:39:24,558
The stew ready?
377
00:39:25,587 --> 00:39:29,048
Take of your coat and hang by the fire to dry.
My wife will excuse your shirtsleeves.
378
00:39:33,395 --> 00:39:35,749
The devil's disciple
under the parson's roof.
379
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,217
Who'd think of looking for me here.
380
00:39:39,917 --> 00:39:42,305
A hot cup of tea will keep out
the cold, Mr. Dudgeon.
381
00:39:42,605 --> 00:39:44,025
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
382
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:47,113
I observe that Mrs. Anderson
is not quite as pressing ...
383
00:39:47,714 --> 00:39:49,515
Welcome for my husband's sake.
384
00:39:50,034 --> 00:39:52,521
Hm ... I know I am not
welcome for my own.
385
00:39:55,622 --> 00:39:57,825
I don't think I'll break bread here, minister.
386
00:39:58,125 --> 00:40:02,632
There is something in you that I respect,
and that makes me desire
to have you as my enemy.
387
00:40:03,733 --> 00:40:09,987
I understand you very well.
On those terms, I'll accept any man's enmity.
Please, sit down.
388
00:40:19,291 --> 00:40:20,592
Oh, Mr. Anderson ...
389
00:40:24,309 --> 00:40:28,563
- What are you doing here?
- Christy, Mrs. Anderson doesn't want
the whole family to tea at once.
390
00:40:28,763 --> 00:40:30,278
Mother is very ill.
391
00:40:32,370 --> 00:40:37,076
- She wants to see Richard?
- No.
- She wants to see the minister.
- Yeah.
392
00:40:37,965 --> 00:40:40,241
You go on there.
I'll catch with you later.
393
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,735
- Judith!
- It's stopped raining.
394
00:40:46,838 --> 00:40:49,391
Give Mr. Dudgeon his tea.
I'll have mine when I come back.
395
00:40:49,791 --> 00:40:54,597
- Tony, must I ...?
- The soldiers saw the grave and they'll be after him.
You must keep him here.
396
00:40:54,898 --> 00:40:57,050
- Tony ...
- I know I can depend on you.
397
00:40:59,956 --> 00:41:01,059
But ...
398
00:41:17,917 --> 00:41:22,152
Mrs. Anderson, I am perfectly aware
of your feelings towards me.
I will not intrude on you.
399
00:41:22,452 --> 00:41:23,848
No, no. Don't go:
400
00:41:24,532 --> 00:41:26,049
please don't go. I ...
401
00:41:28,318 --> 00:41:31,692
I ... I want you to stay, but
it is not because I like you.
402
00:41:31,993 --> 00:41:34,883
- I see.
- I had rather you did go than
mistake me about that.
403
00:41:35,183 --> 00:41:38,387
I hate you and disapprove of you
and my husband knows it.
404
00:41:39,867 --> 00:41:44,067
If ... If you are not here when he comes back,
you think ... I disobeyed him and drove you away.
405
00:41:44,834 --> 00:41:47,720
Whereas, of course, you've ...
been so kind and considerate
406
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,673
that I, I really want to go
out of mere contrariness?
407
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:57,977
Well, erm, shall we go to tea
like a quiet respectable couple,
and wait for your husband's return?
408
00:42:08,022 --> 00:42:13,152
Ha-a, watch what I've missed, haven't I, ...
the truism of domesticity.
409
00:42:13,853 --> 00:42:17,059
I expect that if any stranger
came in now, he would take us
for man and wife.
410
00:42:17,743 --> 00:42:21,160
- If you mean that you are
more my age than he is, I ...
- Oh, I, ...
411
00:42:21,871 --> 00:42:23,752
I see there is another side
to domestic bliss.
412
00:42:24,006 --> 00:42:26,977
I, I'd rather be married to someone
that everyone respects than - than -
413
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:32,679
Than the devil's disciple and you are right.
But then your love helps him to be a good man,
just as your hate helps me to be a bad one.
414
00:42:33,016 --> 00:42:35,300
My husband has been very good to you.
415
00:42:35,739 --> 00:42:38,226
Can't you forgive him for being
so much better than you are?
416
00:42:38,537 --> 00:42:40,982
How dare you belittle him
by putting yourself in his place?
417
00:42:41,482 --> 00:42:44,757
- Did I?
- Yes, you did.
You said that we could, ... we could ...
418
00:42:48,926 --> 00:42:50,306
Don't do that!
419
00:42:56,459 --> 00:42:57,289
Here ...
420
00:43:18,225 --> 00:43:21,154
- Tea?
- Please.
421
00:43:23,490 --> 00:43:27,447
Do you take sugar?
No, but plenty of milk.
422
00:43:37,007 --> 00:43:38,343
Toast?
423
00:43:54,230 --> 00:44:00,029
- Why do you laugh?
- Oh, I think you are afraid that even tea and toast
for a man of my reputation might lead you astray.
424
00:44:01,634 --> 00:44:04,944
That's the worst of conducting one's life
on the very highest principles.
425
00:44:05,244 --> 00:44:08,998
One false step and
you have such a long ways to fall.
426
00:44:09,298 --> 00:44:14,007
Are you afraid of heights, Mrs. Anderson?
Do they keep tempting you to throw
yourself over the precipice?
427
00:44:15,665 --> 00:44:18,352
I think you find the view
down below almost irresistable.
428
00:44:19,432 --> 00:44:23,091
So you take yourself and
your principles higher and higher
in the hope to getting away from it.
429
00:44:23,836 --> 00:44:28,649
Of course the higher you go
the more irresistable it becomes.
430
00:44:30,076 --> 00:44:33,180
Doesn't it? ...
Eh?
431
00:44:36,485 --> 00:44:39,989
You see! The toast is harder
to swallow then the truth! ...
There!
432
00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:43,461
Leave me alone!
Oh, leave me alone!
433
00:44:43,961 --> 00:44:47,899
Can you ever do one kind thing for someone?
All you do is just ...
434
00:44:57,311 --> 00:44:59,614
Sorry to disturb you, mum!
Duty!
435
00:45:00,866 --> 00:45:05,824
Anthony Anderson: I arrest you
in King George's name as a rebel!
436
00:45:06,224 --> 00:45:08,472
- But he is not ...
- Come on, parson.
437
00:45:08,877 --> 00:45:10,277
Put your coat on and come along.
438
00:45:22,822 --> 00:45:26,448
- But that is not ...
- Sergeant ... forgive me asking
439
00:45:27,848 --> 00:45:31,538
what active rebellion exactly
have I committed?
440
00:45:31,956 --> 00:45:33,824
That's not for me to say, sir.
441
00:45:33,925 --> 00:45:36,052
But we don't arrest unless
we don't have to hang them.
442
00:45:43,921 --> 00:45:45,442
You can't do this!
443
00:45:47,476 --> 00:45:53,277
I leave one good thing for someone.
Sergeant, did you ever arrest a man of my cloth before?
444
00:45:53,477 --> 00:45:56,347
Well, no sir.
At least, only an army chaplain.
445
00:45:59,792 --> 00:46:00,860
Four in!
446
00:46:03,702 --> 00:46:07,500
One gentleman to another, sir.
Wouldn't you like a word with
your missis before you go?
447
00:46:08,326 --> 00:46:09,605
The last chance.
448
00:46:10,805 --> 00:46:16,414
Oh, my love. This ... This gallant
gentleman has been kind enough
to allow us a moment of leavetaking.
449
00:46:17,315 --> 00:46:18,316
- Yes, but ...
450
00:46:20,018 --> 00:46:23,112
Get your husband safely out of harm's way.
You understand?
451
00:46:24,924 --> 00:46:27,657
He can't save me.
They will hang him.
452
00:46:28,657 --> 00:46:30,129
And they will not spare me.
453
00:46:32,283 --> 00:46:35,341
Tell him that from now on
he better give the devil its due.
454
00:46:39,143 --> 00:46:45,261
I am sure the sergeant will not believe
that you love me like a wife unless ...
you should give me one kiss before I go.
455
00:46:46,591 --> 00:46:48,033
I can't!
456
00:46:54,862 --> 00:46:57,299
- Sergeant, quickly.
- March!
457
00:47:13,937 --> 00:47:18,990
- Where is Mrs. Dudgeon?
- Mrs. Dudgeon is critical. Very critical.
- Where is my husband?
458
00:47:19,413 --> 00:47:23,988
- Mrs. Anderson! What's happened?
- Oh, it's Richard, he ..., he ..., he ...
459
00:47:24,303 --> 00:47:29,023
- The scoundrel! He should be horsewhipped. The minister's wife ...
- No, no!
- What he did you?
460
00:47:29,409 --> 00:47:32,711
- My husband!
I must see my husband.
- Yes, yes, directly ...
461
00:47:33,338 --> 00:47:34,362
Judith!
462
00:47:35,998 --> 00:47:37,973
What happened to you?
Are you hurt?
463
00:47:38,328 --> 00:47:42,306
You should not have left him
in the house with her.
He is not to be trusted.
464
00:47:44,415 --> 00:47:45,738
Richard?
465
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,998
Judith?
Judith?
Judith, did he ...?
466
00:47:54,673 --> 00:47:57,365
No, no, you don't understand!
He did nothing!
467
00:47:57,586 --> 00:48:01,880
- He's been arrested!
- Arrested?
- What we are going to do?
468
00:48:05,552 --> 00:48:08,600
- Where they've taken him?
- No ... no, you mustn't go, you mustn't go!
469
00:48:09,809 --> 00:48:16,389
He said you couldn't save him. You'd get out of
harm's way, he said that they will hang him and
not spare you. But there must be some other way.
470
00:48:16,481 --> 00:48:20,271
Judith, Judith,
the man without much good,
but the least I can do is to talk to him.
471
00:48:20,471 --> 00:48:22,977
But they want you! They will not
let you see him: they will arrest you
the moment you give your name!
472
00:48:23,477 --> 00:48:28,703
- Nonsense, my dear.
- It's not, it's not, it's God's truth!
It was for you the soldiers came.
473
00:48:32,421 --> 00:48:35,133
- For me?!
- They gave your name.
474
00:48:35,533 --> 00:48:39,518
We were there together ... and
soldiers thought he and I were ...
475
00:48:39,718 --> 00:48:43,909
He put on your coat,
he went with them, to save you!
476
00:48:45,505 --> 00:48:48,673
What is in there something we can do?
Get the people at the village together?
477
00:48:49,073 --> 00:48:53,545
Against the army?
Do no such thing, Mr. Anderson!
Leave all alone.
478
00:48:54,461 --> 00:48:57,543
- Sh-Sh ...
- Yes, yes my dear.
479
00:49:00,082 --> 00:49:04,127
- You can't help him, minister, but you are free.
- Tony, you can't leave Richard now!
480
00:49:04,706 --> 00:49:08,481
You can lie low somewhere
till it is safe to come back,
somewhere right clear of the village.
481
00:49:08,682 --> 00:49:13,614
- Tony!
- Christy, help me to get out the buggy.
We'll leave your horse here.
482
00:49:20,732 --> 00:49:21,892
Confound Richard!
483
00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:24,053
Tony!
484
00:49:26,058 --> 00:49:30,080
- Tony! He's trying to save your life!
- Yes, he's put me in a debt I can never repay.
485
00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:34,466
- What he thinks I can do? What is he expecting?
- I don't know, but you must do something!
486
00:49:35,021 --> 00:49:37,296
- You must save him!
- Stop hollering, girl!
487
00:49:40,776 --> 00:49:43,120
Judith, ... Judith, listen to me.
488
00:49:43,721 --> 00:49:46,083
If you can get word to him by
pretending to be his wife, do it.
489
00:49:46,734 --> 00:49:49,174
The longer he'll hold his tongue,
the more start he will give me.
490
00:49:55,397 --> 00:49:58,276
- Tony, what are you going to do?
- Judith, go home.
491
00:50:03,053 --> 00:50:04,205
He's gone!
492
00:50:08,962 --> 00:50:11,616
He's not going to the village!
He's run away!
493
00:50:12,517 --> 00:50:14,321
My God, he's not such fool as I thought!
494
00:50:31,531 --> 00:50:32,267
Mr. Hawkins!
495
00:50:47,903 --> 00:50:52,880
- Mr. Hawkins! ... Mr. Hawkins!
- Come in, sir!
496
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,473
Mr. Hawkins, they've arrested Richard Dudgeon.
497
00:50:55,873 --> 00:50:58,575
- You must go to the military.
- God, is that only what you want.
498
00:50:58,777 --> 00:51:01,668
- Get the horses ready.
- What minister talks?
- He's no our friend of record.
499
00:51:02,049 --> 00:51:08,507
- Mr. Hawkins, tell them I'll give myself up ...
if they release him.
- I am sorry but I can't help you. You better go yourself.
500
00:51:08,923 --> 00:51:10,744
Get yourselfs down, in hurry.
501
00:51:13,998 --> 00:51:16,737
You don't understand.
They thought he was me.
502
00:51:16,837 --> 00:51:21,702
- If I go they'll hang us both, if you go to the ...
- I haven't time! Now, will you forgive me!
503
00:51:22,858 --> 00:51:24,661
You haven't time
to save a man's life?
504
00:51:24,961 --> 00:51:29,048
- Hawkins!
- More than one good man
will die in the next 24 hours!
505
00:51:29,348 --> 00:51:31,989
John, you go to the Nevilsons
and bring up their equipment.
506
00:51:32,389 --> 00:51:35,755
Tom, you go to Collings Hill
and around you go to river.
507
00:51:42,283 --> 00:51:43,945
So you with the rebels.
508
00:51:44,728 --> 00:51:47,728
- But before, in Springtown ...
- It was at the moment but
it's all very different - now.
509
00:51:48,128 --> 00:51:54,741
- Hawkins, wait ...
- I am fighting a war and I can't jeopardize success
for the sake of your troubles or Richard Dudgeon!
510
00:52:00,558 --> 00:52:05,437
- Mr. Hawkins!
- Oh God! Go back to your church,
minister and pray.
511
00:52:52,212 --> 00:52:56,431
No, don't you fret, mummy:
he slept like a child, and
has made a rare good breakfast.
512
00:52:56,822 --> 00:52:58,338
- He is in good spirits?
- Tip top!
513
00:52:58,738 --> 00:53:02,814
The chaplain looked in to see him
last night, and he won seventeen
shillings off him at a backgammon.
514
00:53:03,387 --> 00:53:05,576
He spent it among us
like the gentleman he is.
515
00:53:07,042 --> 00:53:10,943
- Well, my little wife.
- Richard!
516
00:53:11,649 --> 00:53:14,811
Sergeant, how long do you allow
a brokenhearted husband for leave-taking?
517
00:53:15,052 --> 00:53:20,107
As long as we can, sir.
We shall not disturb you till the court sits.
And General Burgoyne has not come back yet, sir.
518
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:26,564
Gentlemanly Johnny we call him, mum, he
won't have done finding fault with everything
to least come of half past. I know him, sir.
519
00:53:28,671 --> 00:53:31,092
Is your husband safe?
Is he clear of the village?
520
00:53:31,842 --> 00:53:32,900
Well, that's good.
521
00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:35,410
He is no longer my husband.
522
00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:40,309
- He's run away.
- Poor lad. They'd only have hanged us both.
523
00:53:41,787 --> 00:53:46,154
- Why did you let them take you last night?
- Upon my life, Mrs. Anderson, I don't know.
524
00:53:46,808 --> 00:53:51,500
- I've been asking myself that question ever since.
- It was for my sake, wasn't it?
525
00:53:53,301 --> 00:53:59,041
Well, you ... had a hand in it.
It must have been a little for your sake.
526
00:53:59,375 --> 00:54:03,215
- I can't let you. I'm going to tell them.
- Mrs. Anderson!
527
00:54:04,216 --> 00:54:07,220
They'll never kill you when they know
how valiantly you have acted!
528
00:54:07,578 --> 00:54:09,773
But if I don't go through with it,
where will the heroism be?
529
00:54:11,475 --> 00:54:16,923
I shall simply have tricked them,
and they'll hang me anyway.
Serve me right too!
530
00:54:17,455 --> 00:54:21,129
- Do you realize you're going to kill yourself?
- The only man I have any right to kill.
531
00:54:24,665 --> 00:54:30,447
Bless you, nobody cares for me.
My mother's last word to me was her curse.
My other relatives will not grieve much on my account.
532
00:54:30,998 --> 00:54:36,478
Ah, Essie will cry for a day or two,
but I have provided for her:
I made my own will last night.
533
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:38,874
I will give them a few surprises.
534
00:54:39,828 --> 00:54:43,195
- And I!
- You?
535
00:54:44,067 --> 00:54:45,740
Am I not to care at all?
536
00:54:47,044 --> 00:54:52,476
I'll give you credit for liking me a
little more than you did, but
my death will not break your heart.
537
00:54:52,677 --> 00:54:55,383
What can I do to show you
how wrong you are?
538
00:54:56,083 --> 00:55:02,240
Save yourself ... for my sake.
I'll come with you to ...
to the end of the world.
539
00:55:07,387 --> 00:55:09,953
- Judith.
- Yes.
540
00:55:12,604 --> 00:55:21,856
Judith, listen to me. If I said - to please you -
that I did what I did ever so little for your sake,
I lied ... as men always lie to women.
541
00:55:22,115 --> 00:55:26,785
I've seen even most worthless men
can rise to some sort of goodness
when they were in love.
542
00:55:28,424 --> 00:55:32,980
That has taught me to set
very little store by the goodness
that only comes out red hot.
543
00:55:34,834 --> 00:55:42,169
What I did last night, I did in cold blood,
caring not half so much for your husband,
or for you as I did for myself.
544
00:55:44,746 --> 00:55:48,550
I had no motive ... and no interest:
545
00:55:51,654 --> 00:55:55,727
all I can say certainly is that when it
came to the point whether I would
put another man's neck into the noose ...
546
00:55:56,797 --> 00:56:05,668
I could not do it. I have been brought up
assured by the law of my own nature, and I
could not go against it, gallows or no gallows.
547
00:56:07,274 --> 00:56:12,746
I would have done the same thing
for any other man in the place ...
or any other man's wife.
548
00:56:17,988 --> 00:56:19,290
You understand?
549
00:56:20,091 --> 00:56:22,335
Do you really think I believe it?
550
00:56:24,949 --> 00:56:29,351
- Time's up, I am afraid.
Court's to take to sit.
- Thank you, Sergeant.
551
00:56:31,904 --> 00:56:34,660
Halt! Left! Front!
552
00:56:40,417 --> 00:56:42,951
Good morning, gentlemen.
Sorry to disturb you, I am sure.
553
00:56:43,151 --> 00:56:44,887
Very good of you to spare us a few moments.
554
00:56:45,088 --> 00:56:46,475
Will you preside, sir?
555
00:56:46,675 --> 00:56:49,704
No, sir: I feel my own deficiencies
too keenly to presume so far.
556
00:56:49,987 --> 00:56:53,045
If you will kindly allow me,
I will sit at the foot of the table.
557
00:56:58,939 --> 00:56:59,969
Halt!
558
00:57:00,592 --> 00:57:01,595
Right turn!
559
00:57:02,346 --> 00:57:04,010
Escort, take position!
560
00:57:09,855 --> 00:57:10,962
Sergeant!
561
00:57:15,863 --> 00:57:16,808
Who is that woman?
562
00:57:17,215 --> 00:57:20,791
Prisoner's wife, sir.
She asked to be allowed
to be present, and I ...
563
00:57:20,991 --> 00:57:24,233
- I thought that ...
- You thought it would be a pleasure for her.
Quite so, quite so.
564
00:57:24,433 --> 00:57:27,183
Give the lady a chair, and make
her thoroughly comfortable.
565
00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:28,979
Your name, sir?
566
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,584
- You don't mean to say that you've brought
me here without knowing who I am?
- As a matter of form, sir, give your name.
567
00:57:34,872 --> 00:57:39,048
As a matter of form then,
my name is Anthony Anderson ...
Presbyterian minister of this parish.
568
00:57:39,248 --> 00:57:40,534
Presbyterian?
569
00:57:40,857 --> 00:57:44,491
Indeed! Pray, Mr. Anderson, what
do you gentlemen believe in?
570
00:57:45,551 --> 00:57:51,203
I shall be glad to explain if time is allowed me,
but I cannot undertake to complete your
conversion in less than a fortnight.
571
00:57:51,509 --> 00:57:53,594
We are not here to discuss your views.
572
00:57:53,694 --> 00:57:56,808
- I stand rebuked.
- Oh, not you, sir.
- Pray, don't mention it.
573
00:57:57,116 --> 00:58:00,170
Any ... political views, Mr. Anderson?
574
00:58:00,422 --> 00:58:03,079
I understand that that is just
what we are here to find out.
575
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,077
Do you mean to deny
that you are a rebel?
576
00:58:05,527 --> 00:58:10,183
- I am ... an American.
- What might expect you to think
of that speech, Mr. Anderson?
577
00:58:10,383 --> 00:58:12,336
I never expect a soldier to think.
578
00:58:14,988 --> 00:58:17,341
I advise you not to be insolent, prisoner.
579
00:58:17,541 --> 00:58:21,345
Oh, you can't help yourself, General.
When you make up your mind to hang a man,
you put yourself at a disadvantage with him.
580
00:58:21,848 --> 00:58:25,516
Now, why should I be civil with you?
I may as well be hanged
for a sheep as a lamb.
581
00:58:25,802 --> 00:58:29,205
You have no right to assume that
the court has made up its mind
without a fair trial.
582
00:58:39,470 --> 00:58:43,644
And please do not address me as General.
I am Major Swindon.
583
00:58:44,536 --> 00:58:49,090
My deepest apology, sir.
I thought I had the pleasure of
addressing Gentlemanly Johnny.
584
00:58:53,088 --> 00:58:57,538
I believe I am Gentlemanly Johnny, sir.
My more intimate friends
call me General Burgoyne.
585
00:58:58,044 --> 00:59:01,198
You will understand, sir, I hope,
since you seem to be a gentleman
586
00:59:01,398 --> 00:59:05,802
and a man of some spirit
in spite of your calling, that if we
do have the misfortune to hang you,
587
00:59:06,302 --> 00:59:11,107
we shall do so as a mere matter of political
necessity and military duty,
without any personal ill-feeling.
588
00:59:11,907 --> 00:59:15,917
- Oh, that makes all the difference in the world, of course.
- How CAN you?
- Judith!
589
00:59:16,117 --> 00:59:19,023
You believe me, madam, your husband
is placing us under the greatest obligation
590
00:59:19,123 --> 00:59:23,667
by taking this very disagreeable business so
thoroughly in the spirit of a gentleman.
Give Mr. Anderson a chair.
591
00:59:26,829 --> 00:59:32,913
You are aware, I presume, Mr. Anderson,
of your obligation as a subject of
His Majesty King George the Third.
592
00:59:33,539 --> 00:59:38,417
I am aware, sir, that His Majesty King George
the Third is about to hang me because
I object to Lord North's robbing me.
593
00:59:38,748 --> 00:59:41,651
- That is a treasonable speech, sir.
- I meant it to be.
594
00:59:41,891 --> 00:59:46,497
Now, don't you think, Mr. Anderson, that
this is rather - if you will forgive the word -
a vulgar line to take?
595
00:59:47,097 --> 00:59:51,411
Why should you cry out robbery
because of a stamp duty and
a tea duty and so forth are drawn?
596
00:59:51,911 --> 00:59:54,571
It is the essence of your position as
a gentleman that you pay with a good grace.
597
00:59:54,771 --> 00:59:59,674
It is not the money, General.
But to be ... swindled by a pig-headed
lunatic like King George.
598
01:00:00,274 --> 01:00:02,527
Chut, sir ...
- Silence!
- Silence!
599
01:00:03,078 --> 01:00:04,983
That, now, is another point of view.
600
01:00:05,512 --> 01:00:09,386
My position does not allow of
my going into that, except in private.
601
01:00:09,830 --> 01:00:14,752
But of course, Mr. Anderson,
if you are determined to be hanged
there's nothing more to be said.
602
01:00:15,294 --> 01:00:18,228
- An unusual taste!
- Shall we call witnesses?
603
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:24,404
Eh, what's the need for witnesses?
If the villagers had listened to me,
you would have found the place barricaded,
604
01:00:25,208 --> 01:00:30,310
the houses loopholed, people in arms ...
- Very well, sir, we shall teach you and
your villagers a lesson they won't forget.
605
01:00:32,416 --> 01:00:37,121
- Do you have anything more to say?
- I think you might have the decency
to treat me as a prisoner of war,
606
01:00:37,522 --> 01:00:40,426
shoot me like a man instead of
hanging me like a dog.
607
01:00:40,626 --> 01:00:44,832
Now there, Mr. Anderson,
you talk like a civilian,
if you will excuse my saying so.
608
01:00:45,377 --> 01:00:49,337
Have you any idea of the average
marksmanship of the army of
His Majesty King George the Third?
609
01:00:49,738 --> 01:00:51,832
If we make up a firing
party, what will happen?
610
01:00:52,032 --> 01:00:57,466
Half of them will miss you: and the rest
will make a mess of the business and
leave you to the provomarshal's pistol.
611
01:00:57,866 --> 01:01:00,850
Whereas we can hang you in a perfectly
workmanlike and agreeable way.
612
01:01:01,836 --> 01:01:05,765
Let me persuade you ...
to be hanged, Mr. Anderson.
613
01:01:06,410 --> 01:01:10,621
I thank you, General: that view of
the matter had not occur to me.
614
01:01:11,021 --> 01:01:13,480
I withdraw my objections.
Hang me, by all means.
615
01:01:13,768 --> 01:01:17,521
- Will 12 o'clock suit you, Mr. Anderson?
- I shall be at your disposal.
616
01:01:18,275 --> 01:01:19,138
Nothing more to be said, gentlemen.
617
01:01:19,538 --> 01:01:24,331
- You can't do this without proper trial for him!
- My good lady, our only desire
is to save unpleasantness.
618
01:01:24,732 --> 01:01:28,535
You don't care what you do.
You think you can murder a man
as long as you do it in uniform.
619
01:01:29,427 --> 01:01:31,498
- Tell them the truth! Tell them!
- You promised!
620
01:01:31,798 --> 01:01:35,980
- He's not my husband!
- Gentlemen! I assure you she will not
believe that she cannot save me.
621
01:01:37,850 --> 01:01:39,361
One moment, gentlemen.
622
01:01:41,254 --> 01:01:42,653
One moment, Mr. Anderson.
623
01:01:44,911 --> 01:01:46,452
Let me understand you clearly, madam.
624
01:01:47,012 --> 01:01:49,470
Do you mean that this gentleman
is not your husband or merely -
625
01:01:49,970 --> 01:01:53,145
I wish to put this with all delicacy -
that you are not his wife?
626
01:01:53,345 --> 01:01:56,892
I don't know what you mean, but you
can ask anybody in the village, they'll
tell you that he is not my husband -
627
01:01:57,292 --> 01:02:00,173
my husband has escaped and
this man took his place to save him.
628
01:02:00,373 --> 01:02:04,080
- Escaped! Where?
- I don't know, I don't know,
and I even if I knew, I don't care!
629
01:02:08,740 --> 01:02:09,690
Swindon,
630
01:02:10,941 --> 01:02:13,389
might I suggest that a brief recess
might be in order.
631
01:02:14,247 --> 01:02:16,588
The lady will then have a chance
to regain her composure.
632
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:23,554
And you might even find the time
to discover with a little more accuracy
who it is we have been trying half a morning.
633
01:02:28,933 --> 01:02:31,019
May I beg your pardon, sir.
Should I release the gentleman?
634
01:02:31,221 --> 01:02:35,013
What? Certainly not!
He's condemned himself out of
his own mouth, where he is.
635
01:02:35,513 --> 01:02:38,429
The sentence remains unchanged.
The hang's at twelve.
636
01:02:44,186 --> 01:02:48,832
Give a Major Swindon enough rope ...
and he will always hang somebody.
637
01:02:51,497 --> 01:02:57,041
Give a Hawkins the choice and
he will always like any other patriot
638
01:02:57,341 --> 01:03:01,081
prefer killing orders to
saving a fellow countryman.
639
01:03:51,839 --> 01:03:53,675
Cannon! What can we do?
640
01:03:58,242 --> 01:04:00,785
Back, all of you.
Out!
641
01:04:03,789 --> 01:04:06,492
- Mr. Hawkins, woudn't it be better ...
- Oh, get out!
642
01:04:35,828 --> 01:04:39,733
Turn to the right!
643
01:04:49,848 --> 01:04:51,004
Fire!
644
01:05:02,714 --> 01:05:04,219
Come on! Come on, hey you!
645
01:05:05,466 --> 01:05:07,822
Minister, you best get inside.
646
01:05:13,528 --> 01:05:15,054
Yes.
647
01:05:21,889 --> 01:05:24,719
Mr. Anderson,
This is most fortunatous!
648
01:05:24,819 --> 01:05:27,210
The church needs more than
one poor pair of hands today.
649
01:05:27,747 --> 01:05:28,796
Where do you go?
650
01:05:29,294 --> 01:05:31,001
- There's no one there.
- Good.
651
01:05:36,108 --> 01:05:38,230
Winnigh, get the wounded inside.
652
01:05:51,526 --> 01:05:53,670
Take that bloody gunpowder.
653
01:05:56,434 --> 01:05:57,953
More powder ...
654
01:06:06,048 --> 01:06:07,492
Mr. Anderson!
655
01:06:13,454 --> 01:06:16,966
Don't come near -
there is ammunition outside,
gunpowder, it's highly inflammable.
656
01:06:17,266 --> 01:06:18,979
Exactly.
657
01:06:30,427 --> 01:06:35,221
Mr. Anderson!
You will be reminded on a pyrissication.
This kind of thing unknownly ...
658
01:06:36,335 --> 01:06:41,488
Return to the line!
Corporal should always set an example!
Attending in company at once!
659
01:07:01,214 --> 01:07:02,576
Help!
660
01:07:02,936 --> 01:07:04,432
Open the door!
661
01:07:06,873 --> 01:07:09,104
Quick, quick!
I call you to an action.
662
01:07:12,329 --> 01:07:13,376
Hold there!
663
01:07:14,033 --> 01:07:15,455
He's a rebel!
664
01:08:41,745 --> 01:08:42,858
Get him!
665
01:08:44,499 --> 01:08:46,764
No! Not him! Him!
666
01:09:36,466 --> 01:09:38,483
Don't you fire! You'll hit me!
667
01:09:49,585 --> 01:09:52,536
Masquerading for minister in time of war!
668
01:09:52,837 --> 01:09:54,761
Treason!
Hold your tongue!
669
01:09:55,982 --> 01:10:04,147
It will be my pleasure to have you taken outside,
put up against a nearest wall and shot!
670
01:10:05,453 --> 01:10:06,596
Silence!
671
01:10:07,555 --> 01:10:08,952
Quick!
672
01:11:00,374 --> 01:11:02,627
General Burgoyne headquarters?
673
01:11:03,977 --> 01:11:08,032
- And who're you?
- A loyal subject of King George,
giving assistance to his troops.
674
01:11:08,536 --> 01:11:11,991
Look, I have important message from
General Howe for General Burgoyne.
675
01:11:15,543 --> 01:11:17,195
This way, sir.
676
01:11:30,562 --> 01:11:32,270
Come on! Come on!
677
01:11:47,486 --> 01:11:48,675
Come on!
678
01:11:56,997 --> 01:12:00,286
- Anderson!?
- After the men! Go with the rally.
679
01:12:01,903 --> 01:12:06,059
- What are you waiting for?
- Yeah, go, come on.
680
01:12:59,678 --> 01:13:02,381
Everything is ready, sir for the, ... Ah ...
681
01:13:03,765 --> 01:13:08,154
- Oh ... the ...
- It likes but two minutes ... to twelve, sir.
682
01:13:09,939 --> 01:13:11,692
Thank you, time's up.
683
01:13:12,695 --> 01:13:14,095
I am punctual.
684
01:13:14,597 --> 01:13:18,362
I should never dream of hanging any
gentleman ... by an American clock.
685
01:13:21,958 --> 01:13:26,368
I really must congratulate you, Swindon.
Despite your deplorable error
686
01:13:26,468 --> 01:13:29,346
and the prisoner's undoubted innocence
at the start of the proceedings,
687
01:13:29,846 --> 01:13:32,910
you managed to provoke him
into guilts by the end of them.
688
01:13:33,526 --> 01:13:35,043
A forensic triumph.
689
01:13:35,424 --> 01:13:37,626
I am sure our country is indebted to you.
690
01:13:48,540 --> 01:13:50,845
This is not a place for a man of your profession.
691
01:13:51,143 --> 01:13:54,958
Try to control yourself and
submit to the divine will.
692
01:13:56,850 --> 01:13:58,444
Sacred music ...
693
01:13:59,253 --> 01:14:02,218
and a clergyman to make
murder look like piety!
694
01:14:02,659 --> 01:14:06,334
You talk to me of Christianity
when you are in the act
of hanging your enemies.
695
01:14:07,162 --> 01:14:10,013
Was there ever such blasphemous nonsense!
696
01:14:10,771 --> 01:14:15,125
Prisoner, I appeal to you,
have you any sense of decency left?
697
01:14:20,932 --> 01:14:24,419
- Man that is born of woman ...
- Thou shalt not kill.
698
01:14:27,090 --> 01:14:33,148
I think, Mr. Brudenell, that as the usual
professional observancy strike the prisoner
as somewhat incongruous under the circumstances,
699
01:14:33,448 --> 01:14:39,204
you had better omit them until ...
he can no longer be inconvenienced by them.
Does that suit you, Mr. Anderson?
700
01:14:40,556 --> 01:14:43,410
- Dudgeon.
- Dudgeon.
- Dudgeon is the name well known to us.
701
01:14:43,862 --> 01:14:46,063
You hanged my father,
that's what you mean?
702
01:14:46,363 --> 01:14:49,253
We seem to be somewhat unfortunate
in our relations with your family.
703
01:14:49,353 --> 01:14:53,072
- But I assure you, Mr. Dudgeon
we are only doing this ...
- Because you're paid to do it.
704
01:14:53,272 --> 01:14:56,225
- You insolent ...
- Ah, I am really sorry that you
should think that, Mr. Dudgeon.
705
01:14:56,802 --> 01:15:01,419
If you knew what my commission
cost me, and what my pay is,
you would think better of me.
706
01:15:02,337 --> 01:15:04,639
Escort! Four in.
707
01:15:06,639 --> 01:15:08,011
Quick ... march!
708
01:15:15,152 --> 01:15:16,190
Carry on.
709
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,745
But you don't understand!
It's my husband, I ...
710
01:16:03,464 --> 01:16:04,696
Release my friend here!
711
01:16:04,916 --> 01:16:07,018
- What the devil it is?
- Untie him!
712
01:16:07,370 --> 01:16:10,173
Get back to your post!
Who're you?
713
01:16:10,523 --> 01:16:11,925
- Antony Anderson.
- Indeed ...
714
01:16:12,225 --> 01:16:15,427
- Then you are just in time to
take your place on the gallows.
- I'm here to meet General Burgoyne.
715
01:16:15,994 --> 01:16:17,342
Arrest this man!
716
01:16:22,088 --> 01:16:24,989
- Seize him!
- My safe-conduct.
- Safe-conduct?
717
01:16:25,190 --> 01:16:26,726
From General Philips in Springtown.
718
01:16:30,199 --> 01:16:31,671
What in the name of ...
719
01:16:33,453 --> 01:16:37,960
- What is the meaning of this?
- The rebels, sir - a surprise attack.
We were outnumbered.
720
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,911
- They are holding General Philips?
- We had draw us for truce.
- What?
721
01:16:42,965 --> 01:16:45,542
- Monstrous!
- Take me to General Burgoyne.
722
01:16:46,970 --> 01:16:48,056
Wait here.
723
01:16:52,027 --> 01:16:57,733
As for the prisoner - he was convicted
on his own account, not on yours.
And he hangs accordingly.
724
01:16:59,787 --> 01:17:01,589
Carry on, Sergeant!
725
01:17:04,993 --> 01:17:06,508
Carry on, I mean.
726
01:17:07,897 --> 01:17:10,601
Sorry, Mr. Dudgeon, but
you see how it is.
727
01:17:13,704 --> 01:17:17,459
Prisoner and escort ...
slow - march!
728
01:17:20,964 --> 01:17:22,320
Richard, I ...
729
01:17:32,928 --> 01:17:37,383
I want to pay you very sincere
apologies, sir, for arresting
this gentleman in your place.
730
01:17:37,883 --> 01:17:40,488
I ... found him in your house with the lady,
731
01:17:40,988 --> 01:17:46,349
very much at home it seemed to me and
the way they carried on ever since I could
only think that they are man and wife.
732
01:17:47,099 --> 01:17:50,764
I am afraid that they may caused you
some domestic troubles, sir.
733
01:17:51,153 --> 01:17:52,284
Halt!
734
01:17:53,959 --> 01:17:56,959
However, in one way of course,
they will soon be disposed of.
735
01:17:58,713 --> 01:18:00,975
The general has graciously convented you.
736
01:18:02,667 --> 01:18:05,371
You know the situation, General.
Would you not give the orders accordingly?
737
01:18:06,523 --> 01:18:10,027
I am delighted to meet you,
Mr. Anderson ... but I confess
I am a little puzzled.
738
01:18:10,527 --> 01:18:14,842
I understood, when we supposed
to be having you in custody
and you were a clergyman ...
739
01:18:15,347 --> 01:18:18,054
It is in the hours of trial, sir,
that a man finds his true profession.
740
01:18:18,581 --> 01:18:23,283
Now our terms that I want to be agreed upon
before even we discuss the rest.
You stop this execution.
741
01:18:23,745 --> 01:18:25,693
- I already told you, sir ...
- Swindon ...
742
01:18:26,048 --> 01:18:31,051
I can hardly agree to one term, Mr. Anderson,
before I know whether there is an alike to
that agreement upon the others.
743
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:33,634
I must know the full extent of your demands.
744
01:18:41,318 --> 01:18:44,542
Very well.
Evacuation of Springtown in 6 hours.
745
01:18:45,042 --> 01:18:47,970
- All prisoners to be returned,
all cannon to be left behind.
- What?
746
01:18:48,170 --> 01:18:50,337
- Together with all stores,
ammunition and livestock.
- What?
747
01:18:50,537 --> 01:18:53,054
And immediate unconditional
release of Mr. Richard Dudgeon.
748
01:18:53,454 --> 01:18:56,952
- Monstrous impudence.
- A little stiff, Mr. Anderson,
if you permit me say so.
749
01:18:57,296 --> 01:18:59,642
You may enjoy a temporal superiority,
750
01:18:59,942 --> 01:19:04,643
but I am about to join forces
with General Howe in Albany,
then in two days I shall have the advantage ...
751
01:19:04,949 --> 01:19:06,891
And the whole campaign will be over within a week.
752
01:19:07,285 --> 01:19:09,857
- It may. The General Howe's not in Albany.
- What?
753
01:19:10,785 --> 01:19:13,860
- General Howe is still in New York.
- You expect me to believe that?
754
01:19:14,060 --> 01:19:15,851
I expect you to believe this.
755
01:19:16,308 --> 01:19:19,516
Where did you get this?
One of His Majesty's dispatches.
756
01:19:22,801 --> 01:19:27,759
General Howe is now still in New York.
He believes you to be still in Springtown.
They sent it to you there.
757
01:19:29,179 --> 01:19:33,981
And now you take the rope of the ...
American citizen.
758
01:19:43,999 --> 01:19:48,056
Stop the drum ...
Release the prisoner!
759
01:20:05,025 --> 01:20:08,630
Don't take too much heart, Captain Anderson.
You got only one scrummage.
760
01:20:09,130 --> 01:20:12,856
You may occupy towns
and win battles, General,
but you cannot conquer a nation.
761
01:20:13,987 --> 01:20:15,271
We shall see.
762
01:20:17,842 --> 01:20:19,369
General Howe's still in New York?
763
01:20:19,469 --> 01:20:21,359
How could he disobey orders?
764
01:20:21,460 --> 01:20:23,349
He received no orders, sir.
765
01:20:23,449 --> 01:20:26,305
Some gentleman in London
forgot to dispatch them.
766
01:20:27,052 --> 01:20:29,695
He's been leaving town for
his holiday, I understand.
767
01:20:30,759 --> 01:20:35,324
So to avoid upsetting his arrangements
England will lose her American colonies,
768
01:20:36,967 --> 01:20:42,952
and in a few days you and I will be
at Saratoga with 5,000 men to face
18,000 rebels in an impregnable position.
769
01:20:43,307 --> 01:20:44,752
I can't believe it!
770
01:20:45,078 --> 01:20:46,553
Take it quietly, Swindon ...
771
01:20:47,278 --> 01:20:50,668
your friend the British soldier,
can stand up to anything ...
772
01:20:50,885 --> 01:20:52,887
except the British War Office.
773
01:20:53,337 --> 01:20:55,240
And what will History say?
774
01:20:57,242 --> 01:21:00,543
History, sir?
Will tell lies, as usual.
775
01:21:01,248 --> 01:21:02,317
Mr. Dudgeon.
776
01:21:04,602 --> 01:21:06,199
Escort, forward!
777
01:21:12,012 --> 01:21:16,196
Don't think it's end, Judith.
The only one day was lending
truth about ourselfs.
778
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:23,424
The reverend Anderson no longer exists.
It's the Captain Anderson
from the Springtown militia.
779
01:21:24,228 --> 01:21:25,894
It won't not stand in your way.
780
01:21:31,537 --> 01:21:32,765
Ah, Captain Anderson!
781
01:21:34,890 --> 01:21:37,945
What can I say?
You ... given me my life.
782
01:21:44,403 --> 01:21:47,519
Judith ... I have very little to offer you.
783
01:21:48,059 --> 01:21:54,163
Even my small reputation as a nearly
well is in jeopardy, it seems.
But! I shall do my best to get it back.
784
01:21:55,618 --> 01:21:59,192
And the world is waiting for us.
Shall we go for ...
785
01:22:24,403 --> 01:22:25,757
Ah, Mr. Dudgeon!
786
01:22:25,967 --> 01:22:29,201
Since we can't hang you
perhaps you will care to take tea
with me this afternoon.
787
01:22:33,266 --> 01:22:39,405
- I should be delighted.
- Good. At four o'clock then ...
and bring Mrs. Anderson with you.
788
01:22:43,930 --> 01:22:46,435
General Burgoyne surrendered
three weeks later.
789
01:22:46,635 --> 01:22:50,739
The reasons for his defeat
are now matter of history ...
790
01:22:51,238 --> 01:22:55,230
and on that of course it is impossible to rely.
791
01:22:55,746 --> 01:22:58,849
But the rest in this story is pure fiction.
792
01:22:59,300 --> 01:23:03,255
You can safely believe every word in it.
