00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,926
We are so very honored
to have you here at my little party.
175
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,137
It's our pleasure, Mrs. Huntoon.
176
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:31,059
It's times like these when men need
to enjoy themselves whenever they can.
177
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,603
Why, that's just what
I was telling James.
178
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:36,230
Although I think he enjoyed
himself a little too much...
179
00:22:36,314 --> 00:22:39,692
...at President Davis' reception
a few months ago.
180
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:43,696
Some of his friends thought it was funny
to get him liquored up and into a...
181
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:47,742
-...discussion with the president.
-Yes. We'd heard of that.
182
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:51,120
Some men have no more sense
than a June bug.
183
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:56,334
I wish you and I were running the war.
Why, it'd be over in no time at all.
184
00:22:56,417 --> 00:22:59,712
Don't you think that would be
difficult in your hoop skirts, ladies?
185
00:22:59,796 --> 00:23:03,466
No more so than in those hot uniforms
our men have to wear.
186
00:23:04,926 --> 00:23:07,887
James, darling,
why don't you come over here.
187
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:09,305
Excuse me.
188
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:12,892
Why don't you offer
our guests of honor...
189
00:23:13,059 --> 00:23:15,436
...some of that wonderful champagne
from France.
190
00:23:15,603 --> 00:23:18,523
It was the last we could get
before the blockade.
191
00:23:18,689 --> 00:23:21,442
I am so honored that you could join us.
192
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:25,113
We have not only the election
to celebrate...
193
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:27,573
...but also the panic in the ranks
of our enemies.
194
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:29,200
Panic, sir?
195
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:32,578
Why, those fools in Washington
are so busy pointing accusing fingers...
196
00:23:32,703 --> 00:23:34,956
...at one another
over their last defeat...
197
00:23:35,206 --> 00:23:38,835
...they may tear each other apart
and save us the bother.
198
00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:42,672
James, dear,
let's not talk about the war.
199
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:46,050
Oh, yes, yes. Let me have
the honor of serving you...
200
00:23:46,134 --> 00:23:48,261
...some of that wonderful
champagne myself...
201
00:23:48,344 --> 00:23:51,305
...before my colleagues
from the treasury drink it all up.
202
00:23:52,265 --> 00:23:53,933
This way.
203
00:24:17,498 --> 00:24:21,169
Mr. Bent, sir, I wasn't at all sure
you'd be here today.
204
00:24:21,252 --> 00:24:22,962
I don't believe that for a moment,
Mrs. Huntoon.
205
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:27,216
I presume you've made good use
with my money?
206
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:31,053
That champagne you're serving
that's getting everybody inebriated...
207
00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:34,056
...came right off our ship,
yours and mine.
208
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:38,686
Shh! I told Stephens that it was the last
we could get before the blockade.
209
00:24:39,061 --> 00:24:41,480
Man's as gullible as Jefferson Davis.
210
00:24:41,564 --> 00:24:43,941
He'll believe anything he hears.
211
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:52,491
I suppose I should see
to my other guests.
212
00:24:54,076 --> 00:24:56,913
Ashton, when are you
gonna see to me?
213
00:24:57,538 --> 00:25:00,124
Soon, Mr. Bent. Very soon.
214
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:04,086
In fact, the minute you're ready
to discuss my profits.
215
00:25:04,170 --> 00:25:06,088
I don't like to be kept waiting.
216
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:10,301
I have little patience
where women are concerned.
217
00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:13,679
Well, Mr. Bent,
maybe I shouldn't bother, then.
218
00:25:14,347 --> 00:25:17,725
Because I like a man
with a lot of patience.
219
00:25:18,809 --> 00:25:21,687
Well, then, considering
all your attributes...
220
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:25,650
...patience may be a virtue
I could make an effort to acquire.
221
00:25:25,858 --> 00:25:29,028
Well, I think the effort is worth
finding out, don't you, Mr. Bent?
222
00:25:33,282 --> 00:25:37,245
James, you remember Mr. Bent,
don't you? Why, he was just telling me...
223
00:25:37,328 --> 00:25:40,248
...the most amusing story about a man
who learned to be patient.
224
00:25:40,331 --> 00:25:44,168
Mr. Bent, why don't you tell James the
story. I have to see to my other guests.
225
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:50,258
You have a lovely wife, sir.
226
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,677
HUNTOON:
Thank you, sir.

[KNOCKING]
228
00:26:47,898 --> 00:26:52,486
A gentleman shouldn't act as though
he expected such a surprise, Mr. Bent.
229
00:27:09,003 --> 00:27:11,672
I didn't know that chess
was your game.
230
00:27:13,549 --> 00:27:16,552
But doesn't it require
more than one player?
231
00:27:20,222 --> 00:27:23,809
-What's so funny?
-Your games.
232
00:27:25,895 --> 00:27:28,022
Your little intrigues.
233
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:31,192
Yes.
234
00:27:32,818 --> 00:27:34,904
But I know you want me.
235
00:27:39,408 --> 00:27:41,285
I want you.
236
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:48,876
I want you more than any woman
I've ever known.
237
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,590
And I want you...
238
00:27:56,133 --> 00:27:57,468
...on my own terms.
239
00:29:45,326 --> 00:29:48,746
Where is it? Where's my surprise?
I want my surprise.
240
00:29:48,829 --> 00:29:53,167
Your surprise is right up there.
241
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,961
Now, you wait. Slow down, there.
Watch your step.
242
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:59,173
-Be careful, you'll trip on your dress.
-Move out of my way, El.
243
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:02,510
If you don't show a little patience,
I am not gonna show you.
244
00:30:03,677 --> 00:30:06,931
Now, you stop right here.
Now, I cannot trust you not to peek.
245
00:30:07,097 --> 00:30:10,559
-Come here.
-Oh, El, you know I'm afraid of the dark.
246
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:13,270
You used to be afraid of me,
but you've gotten over that.
247
00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:15,189
I've never been afraid of any man.
248
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:18,484
Now, you hush up, or I won't show
you a thing. Come on.
249
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:23,280
-This is silly. I don't like doing this.
-Just you watch your step.
250
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,242
Give me your hand.

I don't believe it.
I have died and gone to heaven.

The couturiers of Paris honed their skills
for a lifetime expressly for your pleasure.
257
00:30:53,102 --> 00:30:56,772
Oh, El, you make me feel
just like I'm royalty, which means--
258
00:30:58,566 --> 00:31:00,150
Is that I can...
259
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:03,571
...have absolutely everything
in the world that I want. Right?
260
00:31:03,654 --> 00:31:06,615
I don't think I've ever seen you
so excited before.
261
00:31:06,907 --> 00:31:09,702
I am so pleased to have found somebody
whose dedication...
262
00:31:09,827 --> 00:31:14,415
...to the pursuit of luxury, pleasure
and power is as singular as my own.
263

Makes us the perfect couple,
don't you think?
264

Oh, yes, just perfect.
265
00:31:20,671 --> 00:31:23,674
So I have decided to make you
my first lady.
266
00:31:25,134 --> 00:31:28,762
El, I'm no one's first lady. Are you
just saying you want to marry me?
267
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:33,601
What I am saying is, when the time
is right, I want you to be my consort.
268

What I am saying...
269
00:31:37,605 --> 00:31:41,775
...is, when Jefferson Davis
has shown his true cowardly colors...
270
00:31:42,568 --> 00:31:46,488
...a man more fit
will take over the Confederacy.

Future voyages of our ships...
272
00:31:52,161 --> 00:31:55,581
...will provide for a small but disciplined
army under my leadership.
273
00:31:56,123 --> 00:31:59,335
A weak fool like Jefferson Davis
can't lead the South to victory.
274
00:31:59,627 --> 00:32:01,587
He has no taste for war.
275
00:32:01,754 --> 00:32:05,799
I have the taste,
and I have the military ability.
276
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:12,348
And I will do whatever is necessary
to eliminate him and put us in his place.

...your marriage to that buffoon

00:37:12,397 --> 00:37:15,317
...for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer...
340
00:37:15,484 --> 00:37:20,364
...in sickness and in health, to have
and to hold from this day forward?
341
00:37:21,073 --> 00:37:23,408
-I do.
-Do you promise to love...
342
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:25,160
...honor and obey him...
343
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,829
...forsaking all others, as long
as you both shall live?
344
00:37:29,081 --> 00:37:30,582
I do.
345
00:37:35,170 --> 00:37:38,006
PRIEST:
So in the sight of almighty God...
346
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:44,721
...and by the authority vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
347
00:38:18,922 --> 00:38:20,257
CLARISSA:
Dear?
348
00:38:20,757 --> 00:38:24,344
I was just thinking, so many people
aren't here who should be.
349
00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:27,848
All of Orry's friends,
cousin Charles and the Hazards.
350
00:38:28,015 --> 00:38:30,392
I'm sure they're with us
in their hearts.
351
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:33,145
I know how much you miss Billy.
352
00:38:34,479 --> 00:38:38,734
But today is a happy occasion,
Mother, for all of us.
353
00:38:38,984 --> 00:38:40,610
It's more than that, Brett.
354
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:45,365
Your brother's marriage is an act of faith
and hope that Mont Royal will go on.
355
00:39:04,801 --> 00:39:07,471
We've had so little time together.
356
00:39:11,016 --> 00:39:13,560
I don't want to let you go.
357
00:39:16,605 --> 00:39:19,441
The Confederacy is just gonna
have to manage without you.
358
00:39:19,608 --> 00:39:20,609
[CHUCKLING]
359
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,118
You look so serious.
360
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,038
What are you thinking about?
361
00:39:35,665 --> 00:39:37,626
The best day of my life.
362
00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:42,964
And when was that?
363
00:39:44,466 --> 00:39:46,259
The day I was born.
364
00:39:49,638 --> 00:39:52,099
Don't. Don't. Don't. Quit.
365
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:53,725
Madeline, quit!
366
00:40:02,567 --> 00:40:04,402
Now, stop teasing me.
367
00:40:05,987 --> 00:40:07,239
Tell me.
368
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:13,120
The day I met you
was the day I was born.
369
00:41:22,772 --> 00:41:24,774
Hope said to give Papa another kiss.
370
00:41:24,941 --> 00:41:26,651
She did?
371
00:41:29,571 --> 00:41:31,156
That's from both of us.
372
00:41:33,533 --> 00:41:35,452
We're going to miss you, George.
373
00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:41,708
The casualty list came in from our
latest disaster at Valverde.
374
00:41:43,793 --> 00:41:45,754
The president wept when he read it.
375
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:48,715
His good friend Colonel Meeker
was among the dead.
376
00:41:49,382 --> 00:41:51,051
So was Andrew Langley.
377
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:53,929
CONSTANCE:
He graduated with you.
378
00:41:54,095 --> 00:41:56,473
He was a good friend
to both Orry and me.
379
00:42:01,811 --> 00:42:03,855
One of our agents in the South...
380
00:42:03,939 --> 00:42:07,984
...reports that Orry's doing the same
work for their president I am for Lincoln.
381
00:42:11,655 --> 00:42:15,492
I guarantee he's just as anxious to get
out of Richmond as I am of Washington.
382
00:42:16,326 --> 00:42:19,537
CONSTANCE: You going to ask
for a field command?
383
00:42:19,621 --> 00:42:22,958
Every day, I sit and hand out
fat army contracts...
384
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:25,835
...to greedy war profiteers
while good men die.
385
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:28,797
I understand how you feel.
386
00:42:30,215 --> 00:42:31,424
No, you don't.
387
00:42:31,841 --> 00:42:35,428
I am angry, and I am frustrated,
and I can't hide it anymore.
388
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:38,223
You're doing what the president wants.
Isn't that enough?
389
00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:40,976
I should be with the real army,
not this...
390
00:42:41,142 --> 00:42:43,561
...regiment of paper-shufflers!
I'm sorry.
391
00:42:43,728 --> 00:42:45,355
I'm really sorry.
392
00:42:46,439 --> 00:42:48,441
I do understand how you feel.
393
00:42:48,984 --> 00:42:52,445
Your loyalties are being torn apart
by this war, but please...
394
00:42:53,029 --> 00:42:55,782
...don't let that happen to us.
I couldn't bear it.
395
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:21,766
DAVIS:
I wanted a word with you, general.
396
00:43:21,975 --> 00:43:26,104
This is the only place in Richmond where
we can escape that army of dignitaries.
397
00:43:26,271 --> 00:43:30,108
It's not every day that a new nation
inaugurates its first permanent president.
398
00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:32,944
I only hope our new congress
will be more decisive...
399
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:34,487
...than the provisional one.
400
00:43:34,571 --> 00:43:36,781
They must approve my enlistment bill.
401
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:41,745
We also need a law against importing
luxury items to the exclusion of arms.
402
00:43:42,037 --> 00:43:45,415
Any further word about who's
behind that damnable cartel?
403
00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:49,127
I know the name of one of them,
but I still have no proof.
404
00:43:49,627 --> 00:43:53,048
What they're doing's not illegal.
I have to find another way to stop them.
405
00:43:53,131 --> 00:43:55,133
Corruption could bring
down my government.
406
00:43:55,383 --> 00:43:57,594
If I could just smash this one ring, sir.
407
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,389
It'd be a warning to others who'd build
their fortunes on our army's sacrifice.
408
00:44:01,556 --> 00:44:04,309
Excuse me, sir, the dispatch from
General Johnston in Tennessee.
409
00:44:04,476 --> 00:44:05,477
DAVIS:
Thank you.
410
00:44:07,395 --> 00:44:09,064
Fort Donelson, sir?
411
00:44:09,147 --> 00:44:11,816
Grant has forced Buckner
to surrender unconditionally.
412
00:44:16,905 --> 00:44:19,741
Two thousand dead and wounded.
413
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:24,954
And more than 12,000
are now prisoners.
414
00:44:33,129 --> 00:44:35,590
ORRY:
The North recovered from Manassas, sir.
415
00:44:35,673 --> 00:44:37,384
We shall from this.
416
00:44:39,552 --> 00:44:42,764
There'll be no more talk now
of an easy victory.
417
00:44:43,515 --> 00:44:47,185
George Washington's statue has always
been an inspiration to me.
418
00:44:48,061 --> 00:44:52,148
It's why I chose his birthday to become
the first president of the Confederacy.
419
00:44:55,235 --> 00:44:57,654
That great man refused to give up.
420
00:44:57,821 --> 00:45:01,157
In spite of everything,
he brought to birth a new nation.
421
00:45:04,828 --> 00:45:06,704
So will I.
422
00:45:10,750 --> 00:45:12,293
So will I.
423
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:21,177
ORRY: Finish loading these supplies.
Deliver them to Fredericksburg.
424
00:45:21,261 --> 00:45:23,763
You'll meet us at Bell Plain
with more railcars, sir?
425
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:26,808
No. Apparently, there doesn't seem
to be any more available.
426
00:45:26,975 --> 00:45:30,061
-I'm headed north on another matter.
-North, sir?
427
00:45:30,145 --> 00:45:31,771
We're not far from the frontline.
428
00:45:31,938 --> 00:45:37,652
An agent discovered they're running
luxury goods past the Yankee blockade.
429
00:45:37,735 --> 00:45:39,946
You know who's behind it, sir?
430
00:45:40,029 --> 00:45:42,490
And it is urgent that we stop him
as soon as possible.
431
00:45:42,907 --> 00:45:46,327
I'll meet you in Fredericksburg,
lieutenant, when my business is finished.
432
00:45:46,411 --> 00:45:47,954
Good luck.
433
00:46:02,594 --> 00:46:04,637
Sorry about bringing you here, sir.
434
00:46:04,804 --> 00:46:08,892
Last time I used this place, there weren't
so many Yankee patrols around.
435
00:46:09,058 --> 00:46:11,478
ORRY:
I was lucky none of them saw me.
436
00:46:12,145 --> 00:46:13,855
What more have you learned?
437
00:46:14,022 --> 00:46:17,192
Major Bent has bank accounts
in New York...
438
00:46:17,275 --> 00:46:18,776
...getting fatter by the day.
439
00:46:18,860 --> 00:46:21,279
ORRY:
That is still no proof.
440
00:46:21,738 --> 00:46:23,448
It's not going to stand up in court.
441
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:26,159
He's the cleverest swindler
that ever drew breath.
442
00:46:26,242 --> 00:46:29,329
And he's paying off
all the right people.
443
00:46:30,663 --> 00:46:34,083
-Any word from France about his ships?
-They're running a steady trade.
444
00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:36,169
-From all accounts.
-Where's he offload?
445
00:46:36,252 --> 00:46:40,673
He puts then in at small coves along
the Virginia and South Carolina coasts.
446
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,300
It avoids the Yankee blockade...
447
00:46:42,467 --> 00:46:45,220
...and any questions from us
about what he's transporting.
448
00:46:45,386 --> 00:46:47,430
That may...
449
00:46:48,056 --> 00:46:49,807
...work to our advantage.
450
00:46:52,644 --> 00:46:58,107
If we could find one of those coves
and wait for him to anchor his ships....
451
00:46:58,608 --> 00:47:00,902
We might be able to put
him out of business...
452
00:47:01,402 --> 00:47:03,613
...without troubling a court about it.
453
00:47:03,738 --> 00:47:06,282
Now, we'll keep these thoughts
to ourselves, won't we?
454
00:47:06,533 --> 00:47:09,202
Of course, general.
455
00:47:13,206 --> 00:47:15,291
Sounds like storm's letting up.
456
00:47:15,708 --> 00:47:18,002
Better make a run for it
while we still can.
457
00:47:24,676 --> 00:47:26,469
Best not to ride out together.
458
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:30,265
Just hope those Yankees have sense
enough to stay by their fires tonight.
459
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:32,141
Good luck.
460
00:47:32,308 --> 00:47:33,643
[SHOUTS]
461
00:47:39,941 --> 00:47:41,568
[GUNSHOT]
462
00:47:43,528 --> 00:47:44,862
There's another one.
463
00:47:48,032 --> 00:47:51,077
MEN:
Hya!
464
00:49:16,329 --> 00:49:17,955
MAN:
Stand where you are.
465
00:49:19,957 --> 00:49:22,877
-I beg your pardon, sir.
-No harm done, lieutenant.
466
00:49:23,044 --> 00:49:25,254
But it's a hell of a night
to be out on patrol.
467
00:49:25,421 --> 00:49:27,590
Yes, sir. We were looking for a rebel.
468
00:49:27,757 --> 00:49:30,176
Might be a spy. Could've sworn
his trail led this way.
469
00:49:30,343 --> 00:49:33,471
Wish I could help, but I'm on my way
back from an inspection tour.
470
00:49:33,638 --> 00:49:36,140
I haven't seen anybody for hours.
471
00:49:36,766 --> 00:49:39,143
I think your rebel's probably
long gone by now.
472
00:49:39,644 --> 00:49:41,938
Yes, sir. I was thinking that myself.
473
00:49:42,021 --> 00:49:43,439
Well, we'll get back to camp.
474
00:49:43,940 --> 00:49:47,568
-You're welcome to join our fire, sir.
-I'm much obliged, but I've got to go.
475
00:49:48,027 --> 00:49:51,239
-I've got a lot of ground to cover.
-Have a safe journey, sir.
476
00:50:21,269 --> 00:50:23,062
You saved my life, George, again.
477
00:50:23,229 --> 00:50:27,400
You damn fool. How the hell did
you happen to get this far north?
478
00:50:28,735 --> 00:50:30,862
Well, I'm not sure I should
tell you, colonel.
479
00:50:31,571 --> 00:50:34,365
This little truce might not be so easy.
480
00:50:34,824 --> 00:50:38,327
I guess not. But since we have it,
why don't we find a dry place to talk.
481
00:50:38,411 --> 00:50:42,540
Why don't we. We're too old to bivouac
in the rain like we did in Mexico.
482
00:50:42,915 --> 00:50:44,500
Come on.
483
00:50:48,504 --> 00:50:50,923
ORRY: Tell Billy my sister isn't
as fragile as he thinks.
484
00:50:51,090 --> 00:50:53,968
She arrived at Mont Royal
smiling like a true Main.
485
00:50:54,135 --> 00:50:56,220
Well, he's worried sick about her...
486
00:50:56,387 --> 00:50:58,598
...so you just make sure she's safe.
487
00:50:58,681 --> 00:51:02,226
Well, you just promise to keep your
Yankee troops out of South Carolina.
488
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,071
What's that on your finger?
489
00:51:18,785 --> 00:51:21,496
-Madeline and I were finally married.
-Congratulations, man!
490
00:51:21,662 --> 00:51:23,414
Wish you were there
to be my best man.
491
00:51:23,831 --> 00:51:25,291
I'll make it up to you...
492
00:51:25,833 --> 00:51:28,878
...by throwing you the damnedest party
you ever saw after the war.
493
00:51:28,961 --> 00:51:30,213
Great.
494
00:51:30,296 --> 00:51:32,089
We'll make it a West Point reunion.
495
00:51:33,883 --> 00:51:37,553
I'll even invite Marcus Hasler.
Remember him?
496
00:51:43,643 --> 00:51:47,021
He was killed by a Union
sharpshooter last week.
497
00:51:53,069 --> 00:51:56,739
Orry, Lincoln bent over backwards
to accommodate the South.
498
00:51:57,365 --> 00:51:59,992
Why did he invade Virginia?
You call Bull Run accommodating?
499
00:52:00,076 --> 00:52:02,370
Wait a minute. I was there. I saw it.
500
00:52:02,912 --> 00:52:05,748
An entire rebel army was waiting
to invade the capital.
501
00:52:05,957 --> 00:52:09,210
What was Lincoln supposed to do?
He took an oath to preserve the Union.
502
00:52:09,293 --> 00:52:11,337
The South started it
by firing on Sumter.
503
00:52:11,420 --> 00:52:12,964
We did not start anything.
504
00:52:13,714 --> 00:52:17,009
-We just wanted to be left alone.

And that a nurse's duty...
574
00:56:45,319 --> 00:56:48,489
...is to treat all victims of war
with compassion.

01:04:55,267 --> 01:04:57,519
But the wound shouldn't
take too long to heal.
679
01:04:57,894 --> 01:05:00,897
I hope not. I have to be
on my way in the morning.

You're not going anywhere, not for
a few days, till that shoulder heals.

If I don't make it back
with what Pell found out--
682
01:05:07,237 --> 01:05:10,282
There are other ways to get
your information to headquarters.
683
01:05:11,116 --> 01:05:12,993
I'll see that it gets done.

CHARLES:
The farm is beautiful.
687
01:05:51,239 --> 01:05:54,159
A man could almost forget
there's a war going on.
688
01:05:55,077 --> 01:05:57,454
After Tom died...
689
01:05:58,205 --> 01:06:00,540
...I still had so much to give.
690
01:06:01,208 --> 01:06:02,751
It shows.
691
01:06:03,877 --> 01:06:05,629
Not just in this farm.
692
01:06:06,463 --> 01:06:08,840
Not many people teach their slaves
to read.
693
01:06:08,924 --> 01:06:11,051
Washington and Boz aren't slaves.
694
01:06:11,426 --> 01:06:15,138
They worked as hard as we did,
so my husband and I freed them...
695
01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:17,933
...and gave them a share of the farm.
696
01:06:20,852 --> 01:06:22,646

Maybe that's why I find you
so attractive.

01:06:35,701 --> 01:06:39,788
Excuse me, captain. Miss Augusta,
your mare's starting to foal right now.
701
01:06:39,871 --> 01:06:42,582
She's my pride and joy.
I hid her from the troops.
702
01:06:42,666 --> 01:06:44,459
You'll have to excuse me.
703
01:06:44,835 --> 01:06:47,754
Go ahead. But if it's a boy,
you better name him after me!
704
01:06:53,218 --> 01:06:54,970
Something I can do for you,
Washington?
705
01:06:55,137 --> 01:06:57,222
No, sir. Ain't for me.
706
01:06:57,389 --> 01:06:59,641
It's for her.
707
01:06:59,808 --> 01:07:02,227
You might think
I'm stepping out of line, captain.
708
01:07:03,019 --> 01:07:05,147
But Boz and me...
709
01:07:05,230 --> 01:07:08,233
...we're the only family
Miss Augusta got left now.
710
01:07:08,692 --> 01:07:11,361
So she's told me. Go on.
Say your piece.
711
01:07:12,279 --> 01:07:15,240
Well, she....
712
01:07:17,159 --> 01:07:20,954
Miss Augusta took it real hard
when the baby was stillborn.
713
01:07:22,038 --> 01:07:24,416
Then Mr. Tom died.
714
01:07:25,584 --> 01:07:28,003
And you being a soldier and all...
715
01:07:29,171 --> 01:07:32,048
...and the war still goes on and on.

I don't know if she could live through
mourning somebody else, captain.

01:20:23,903 --> 01:20:27,240
Oh, Stanley has a business meeting,
and I've got some shopping to do.

As usual. Well, goodbye then, dear.
See you at 3.
849
01:20:38,834 --> 01:20:42,255
It still worries me, Isabel.
I know she wouldn't approve of us...
850
01:20:42,547 --> 01:20:45,841
...dealing with a man like Morgan,
especially on military contracts.
851
01:20:46,217 --> 01:20:49,512
Your mother pays very little attention
to Hazard Iron these days.
852
01:20:49,679 --> 01:20:52,765
She's gotten so busy
with her war-effort committee.
853

George and your mother don't run
the company now.

We do.

01:20:57,853 --> 01:21:00,648
And it's up to us to decide
what's best for it.
856
01:21:00,898 --> 01:21:03,609
I don't know that this is best.
Morgan has a bad reputation.
857
01:21:03,776 --> 01:21:06,821
And he has to cut corners to sell
alloys at such prices.
858
01:21:06,988 --> 01:21:09,407
Now, if we buy from him,
who's to say our cannon...

01:21:09,490 --> 01:21:11,784
-...won't be defective?
-Nonsense.
860
01:21:12,618 --> 01:21:16,038
He quoted us a low price because
he wants to undercut his competition...
861
01:21:16,122 --> 01:21:19,917
...and make some money
out of this war, just like we do.
862

Well, those are our terms, Mr. Morgan.
You take them or leave them.

At that price, Britannia stand
to make a pretty profit...

the army for your cannon.

I'm sure you'll make enough,
even at the price we're offering.

You're a very perceptive woman,
Mrs. Hazard.

01:22:31,656 --> 01:22:34,200
So let's drink to our contract.

We'll take certain precautions.

I've designed a trademark
for a fictitious company.

We'll stamp it on all the cannon.

Well, you've certainly
thought of everything.
878
01:23:03,979 --> 01:23:05,690
So no one will find out.
879
01:23:06,190 --> 01:23:09,819
And even if they do, who's to say
that George isn't the one responsible?
880
01:23:10,903 --> 01:23:13,155
There's nothing to worry about.

Well, that is a pretty scheme, Ashton,
except for one small detail.
1017
01:33:09,751 --> 01:33:13,088

That's the best part.
1019
01:33:16,717 --> 01:33:20,512
There's no reason

...eventually.
