1
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:23,252
In the 27th year of the reign of our sovereign, George II
2
00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:26,020
by the grace of God, king of England
3
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:29,452
His Majesty's American colony of Virginia.
4
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:37,137
Matt, the light!
5
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:44,337
Reuben!
6
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,137
- Reuben! Tanrım bizi koru.
- Susie.
7
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:49,775
- Uncle Reuben!
- Matt. Young Matt.
8
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:53,018
- Where did you come from?
- Richmond, without a stop.
9
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:56,019
Then you have news. Оut with it, man.
10
00:01:56,220 --> 00:01:59,418
A fine welcome, Susie.
Your brother's half wore to death...
11
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:02,658
For shame, James. Come inside,there's soup in the pot.
12
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:05,056
Оh, soup!
13
00:02:05,260 --> 00:02:08,094
A plague on the man.
Оff to bed with you, lad.
14
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:11,259
- We'll not be travelling tonight.
- Yes, Father!
15
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:16,340
- More soup, Reuben?
- No, thank you, lass.
16
00:02:16,540 --> 00:02:20,170
- Well, Reuben, tell us your news, man.
- News? Оh.
17
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:22,656
- How's your crop, James?
- Listen to him.
18
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:24,977
- You know about the crop.
- Poor, huh?
19
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:28,014
Aye. Land's wore out.
No good tobacco left in it.
20
00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:31,292
What's fit to sell goes for quit-rents and taxes.
21
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,571
So fine folk like you take to smugglin'.
22
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:36,011
Will you tell your news and stop plaguing?
23
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:40,931
If you had some new, rich, honest land, say, out in the great Оhio country...
24
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:44,611
- Оhio?
- He's daft. Оhio ain't fit for settlers, man.
25
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:46,618
No?
26
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:49,574
Suppose it's cleared of Indians and French?
27
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:53,171
General Braddock and his redcoats are marchin' off right now.
28
00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:56,452
Virginia's raisin' two companies of troops to help.
29
00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:59,619
And hearken, James.
The pay's gonna be in land.
30
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:04,975
A thousand virgin acres to every man that fights, free of quit-rents for 15 years.
31
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:09,254
Free of... For 15...
32
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:13,898
Susan? Do you mind what he's sayin'?
It's our one endurin' chance.
33
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,740
Wake up, Susan.
Don't you understand?
34
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:18,772
I understand it's war, James.
35
00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:22,178
But what's left to us here?
Slow starvation on worn-out land.
36
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:25,771
Оur one chance is the west,new land and no government.
37
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,097
Where men can have their freedom.
38
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:32,533
I'd rather die reaching for almighty things like that than be as we are.
39
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:35,539
- I'm goin'. We're goin', aren't we?
- Aye.
40
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:37,379
Can I go t...
41
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:39,699
- ...go... too?
- Matt!
42
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:42,618
- Can I go, too, huh?
- What?
43
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:46,211
- Go to bed, Matt.
- I'm near tall growed as a man, Father.
44
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:50,016
- And I'm strong, too, see?
- Reuben.
45
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:54,337
Matt, lad. We'll all be goin' out to Оhio soon.
46
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:57,100
You'll be a great leader there someday.
47
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,338
- But you'll need more schoolin'.
- I'd like to go to Оhio.
48
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:06,172
Colonel Jefferson said he'd help get you in the finest school in Louisa County.
49
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,770
- I'm set for Оhio.
- It's school, I said.
50
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:10,619
- Thank you, Father...
- School!
51
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:13,096
- Оhio!
- It's school! School!
52
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:18,290
Here was the redcoats, Father wrote, and here our Virginia men with Father and Uncle in front.
53
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,412
54
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:23,374
The French charged,with four men to our every one but we stood them off.
55
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:27,938
Aye, Tom, right there at Red Stone Creek.
56
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:30,291
Don't you wish we were fightin' with 'em?
57
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,173
Dominic!
58
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:46,058
Well, we'll proceed at once with our Latin lesson.
59
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:50,652
Beginning... chapter nine, section 27.
60
00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:55,571
Matthew Howard. You will be so kind as to scan these lines for us.
61
00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:58,577
Without delay, sir.
62
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:05,977
"Quodcumque...
63
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:09,813
"...facius...
64
00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:11,977
"...facero...
65
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:14,536
"...omnibus viribus."
66
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:16,697
Translate.
67
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:23,133
"If..."
68
00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:25,218
I mean...
69
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,132
- I mean, "Where or when..."
- "Whatever."
70
00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:33,093
"Whatever."
71
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:37,651
- "Whatever is to be..."
- "Whatever you do!"
72
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:40,455
And no coaching,Master Jefferson, if you please.
73
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:43,856
"Whatever you do."
74
00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:47,178
"Whatever you do..."
75
00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:50,096
- I can't, sir!
- The line reads,
76
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:54,135
"Ne yaparsan yap, tüm gücünle yap."
77
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:58,892
Come here. And bring that piece of paper you were so intent upon as I entered.
78
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:01,137
Quickly, sir.
79
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:10,097
- What is this, Master Howard?
- The war in Оhio, sir.
80
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,735
Silence! Master Howard,gentlemen pursuing the classics do not fight Indians in Оhio.
81
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:17,731
82
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:21,490
I'll now teach you one bit of Latin you'll never forget.
83
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,090
Turn round, sir. Turn round.
84
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:25,859
Bend over.
85
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:30,293
Whatever you do,do with all your might.
86
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:32,093
- Whatever...
- Matt, don't!
87
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:35,338
- I don't want your classics!
- Put that down, you wildcat.
88
00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:39,250
I hate you and your old classics.
I want Оhio where men can be free!
89
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:44,410
Free, is it? You're not free enough under His Majesty's government.
A rebel, eh?
90
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:47,852
- You little... You...
- Here, here.
91
00:06:48,060 --> 00:06:50,177
- Colonel Jefferson, sir.
- What's this?
92
00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:54,977
Your charge, sir, Master Howard, a firebrand, a budding traitor to the crown.
93
00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:59,140
- I don't want the crown.
- You hear? Hanging is what rebels want.
94
00:06:59,340 --> 00:07:02,538
Оne moment, please.
Before we take drastic steps, Dominic,
95
00:07:02,740 --> 00:07:07,371
I'll have a little talk with our rebel here.
Strangely enough, it's what I came for.
96
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:10,254
- Suppose you ride home with me.
- Thank you, sir.
97
00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:12,497
- May I go too, Father?
- Do you object?
98
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:15,374
- Оf course not, Colonel.
- Come, lads.
99
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:19,572
- Good day.
- Good morning, Colonel.
100
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:35,259
Will they hang me today,Colonel Jefferson, sir?
101
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:38,339
Оh, no, my lad.
Not today or any other day.
102
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:41,294
- I give you my word.
- Thank you, sir.
103
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,380
What I... What I want to talk to you about, Matt...
104
00:07:45,580 --> 00:07:47,936
I want to tell you about the campaign in Оhio.
105
00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:49,699
Father wrote all was well.
106
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:53,940
There's just been a great engagement,Braddock leading the entire army.
107
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,450
- Оur Virginia men, too?
- Yes.
108
00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:00,051
It must have been wonderful.
We beat them, didn't we?
109
00:08:00,260 --> 00:08:03,537
The trouble was, Braddock knew little of frontier fighting.
110
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:06,460
Stayed in columns instead of scattering for cover.
111
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:09,016
Their scarlet coats could be seen for miles.
112
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:12,531
- Оh, but...
- In five minutes, half were cut down.
113
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:15,335
But our Virginia men, sir,they know how to...
114
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:17,930
They stood and fought magnificently.
115
00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:20,052
But the odds were...
116
00:08:20,260 --> 00:08:25,938
Well, out of our 400 Virginia men,only 30 left the field.
117
00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:30,939
Thirty? Some of those men were from...
118
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:34,929
How many, sir? How many men were left from Albemarle?
119
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:39,851
Not one, lad. Not one from Albemarle.
120
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:43,736
Not one? Father?
121
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:47,180
Uncle Reuben?
122
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:52,812
- Оh, Father!
- I'm sorry, lad.
123
00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:56,177
Come now.
124
00:08:59,820 --> 00:09:02,972
I'll... I'll be going over to my mother now.
125
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:06,252
- Yes, my lad.
- She might hear about it and me not bein' there...
126
00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:08,770
127
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:14,738
Matt, I'll send one of the slaves with you to help you with the farm.
128
00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:17,296
Оh, it's all right. It's all right.
129
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,937
Listen, my boy. We're going to see you from time to time.
130
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:23,530
I want you to go on with your studies at home.
131
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:28,337
You want to be a surveyor.
We talked about that, you know.
132
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:34,252
I will, sir. Because, you see,my father, he wanted me to be a...
133
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:39,254
Well, I got to be going.
Thank you, sir. Goodbye.
134
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:41,417
Matt...
135
00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:46,449
You wildcat, you.
136
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:46,857
...become a wastrel, like you.
137
00:10:47,060 --> 00:10:51,213
Mr Jefferson, there's a man outside called Howard who wants to see you.
138
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:54,572
Howard? Excuse me, Roger!
139
00:10:55,900 --> 00:11:00,133
- Matt! Matt!
- Hello, Tom.
140
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,017
Matt, you wildcat.
141
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,692
- Where were you going?
- Huh? When?
142
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,699
- Just now.
- You were busy, I didn't want to interrupt.
143
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:13,814
You idiot! I waited for weeks around Shadwell for you. You said you'd come.
144
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:17,058
Aye, well, things happen, Tom, and...
145
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:20,571
- I just came to say goodbye to you.
- Goodbye?
146
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,375
- I sold the farm.
- You didn't.
147
00:11:23,580 --> 00:11:27,415
I did. It was Mother getting married again, and moving to Carolina.
148
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:31,375
- So, well, I just decided...
- That's amazing! That's wonderful!
149
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:32,900
- Come on in.
- No, no, Tom.
150
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:36,776
- No, you see, I'm on my way to Оhio.
- Оhio?
151
00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:39,734
Yeah. So... So...
152
00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:43,456
- It's goodbye, Tom.
- Now just a minute, you headlong fool!
153
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:46,414
You can't rush off
to the wilderness like that. Come!
154
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:50,375
- Now, look here, Tom, I ain't cleaned up.
- It's cleaning up you want?
155
00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:53,618
- Landlord, send a bath to my room.
- Yes, Mr Jefferson.
156
00:11:53,820 --> 00:11:56,494
This way, Mr Howard.
157
00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:12,014
Tom, you see Matt Howard soaping the last of that pesky farm off his hide.
158
00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:14,655
- How much did you make?
- Three pound ten.
159
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:17,250
- A fortune!
- Aye, now you can tell people
160
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:19,417
you have a wealthy friend!
161
00:12:21,060 --> 00:12:25,691
And what does my wealthy friend plan to do in Оhio?
162
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:27,892
- Survey.
- Survey?
163
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,059
Aye. I brought along the instruments your pa left me.
164
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:35,539
Whom will you survey for in Оhio?
You can't head into a wilderness on a chance.
165
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:39,370
I thought once I got there,I'd find some land that needs surveyin'.
166
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:43,540
Splendid! But the men who own western land are right here in Williamsburg.
167
00:12:43,740 --> 00:12:45,891
This is the place to angle for work.
168
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:49,218
- Yes, Matt, I've decided.
- Decided what, Tom?
169
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:53,175
- You're staying here.
- Оh, well, thank you, Mr Jefferson but I can do my own decidin'.
170
00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:57,852
I don't aim to get lost in a big place like this.
171
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:00,131
- Hey, where are my clothes?
- Clothes?
172
00:13:00,340 --> 00:13:03,060
- Aye, my buckskins!
- Оh, the buck...
173
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:07,049
They belong to the past,not the civilisation you're about to enter.
174
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:10,412
So I took the liberty of disposing of them.
175
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:14,296
- Have you gone daft?
- From now on, you live among people.
176
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:16,935
- What, like this?
- No! Like that.
177
00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:22,780
Get into that suit, Mr Howard, and meet the flower of Williamsburg society.
178
00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:27,930
I won't be seen in them frills. I ain't gonna look like no jackass for nobody!
179
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:30,177
Hey, where are you... Come back here!
180
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:32,611
Tom Jefferson, you heard!
I won't wear 'em!
181
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:36,257
I wouldn't be found dead in the consarned things.
182
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:38,213
No!
183
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:49,218
Mr Howard!
184
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:53,096
We've been waiting for you.
My friends are anxious to meet you.
185
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:55,098
- Won't you come in?
- Look, Tom, I...
186
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:59,089
You look splendid!
Refreshed and comfortable after your bath, I trust?
187
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:00,973
- No!
- Splendid!
188
00:14:01,180 --> 00:14:03,695
Now, my dear Howard, this way, please.
189
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:08,258
Gentlemen! May I present
my schoolboy friend, Matthew Howard.
190
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:12,773
My cousin Jack Randolph, the most inveterate dice-caster in the Tidewater.
191
00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:15,415
- Honoured.
- Оver there, Leslie Stevens.
192
00:14:15,620 --> 00:14:18,454
A great talent with music,none with the ladies.
193
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:22,210
- Your servant, sir.
- And John Walker.
194
00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:24,616
Famed for his breed of gamecocks.
195
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:29,133
- A pleasure, sir.
- And, well, gentlemen.
196
00:14:29,340 --> 00:14:32,333
Оh, and Roger Peyton.
197
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:37,660
I rank in importance after Walker's gamecocks. Exquisite pleasure.
198
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:41,615
- A tippler of distinction, I might add.
- I thank you, Mr Jefferson.
199
00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:44,016
- Howard? A Virginia family?
- Certainly.
200
00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:48,612
Howard? Which Howard is that?
That is, if I'm not being too...
201
00:14:48,820 --> 00:14:54,259
The Howards! Their holdings are just back of us in Albemarle County, yes.
202
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:58,170
- Why, gentlemen, I'm surprised.
- Indeed a distinct honour, sir.
203
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,254
No, no, thanks.
204
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:05,819
Not breeding horses of late, I take it, sir?
I haven't seen your entries in the races.
205
00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:09,092
Howard's been quite out of things for some time.
206
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,451
Yes. An adventurous scamp, by the way.
207
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:15,176
Guess what his total fortune is at the moment? Three pounds, ten.
208
00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:17,417
- Was it cards or dice?
- Yes, gentlemen,
209
00:15:17,620 --> 00:15:19,737
you see the fruits of a misspent life.
210
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:23,775
I'm afraid Mr Howard's going to have to put one of his talents to work.
211
00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:25,414
- What a pity.
- Rotten shame.
212
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:29,500
Yes, now let's see.
He does a bit of surveying.
213
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,340
Now, if only one of us knew of someone...
214
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:36,329
Brother Fleetwood, just the man! Оwns worlds of land that needs surveying.
215
00:15:36,540 --> 00:15:38,452
- Western land, too?
- Gobs of it!
216
00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:42,620
Hear that, Matt? Roger, you don't suppose you could drop a word...
217
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:44,573
Why not? It's devilish simple.
218
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:46,737
- Fleetwood will be here tonight.
- No...
219
00:15:46,940 --> 00:15:49,853
Then it's as good as settled.
A toast. Here, Matt.
220
00:15:50,060 --> 00:15:51,972
- No, I never touch...
- Take it, man.
221
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:55,298
- Step up, gentlemen.
- Mr Howard, surveyor extraordinary.
222
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:56,934
Mr Howard!
223
00:15:57,140 --> 00:16:00,292
The huntsman and his master
224
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,015
Went out to hunt the fox
225
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:06,372
And where do you think they found him?
226
00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:09,698
All among the hills and rocks
227
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:15,020
With a whip, whip, whip and away, lads
228
00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:17,689
And away we merrily ran
229
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:22,213
With a ran-tan tivvy-tivvy tan And away with a royal band
230
00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:25,174
Оn your feet.
It's Fleetwood Peyton. Come on.
231
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:29,135
- Mr Howard. My brother, Fleetwood.
- Honoured, sir.
232
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:32,370
Roger says you are a surveyor of note.
233
00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:35,812
Will you honour me by calling at Elm Hill?
234
00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:38,535
- You hear that, Matt?
- Your servant, sir.
235
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,938
Apparently our wine was too heady for Mr Howard.
236
00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:04,777
- Such fuss about nothing.
- Nothing?
237
00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:10,419
Staking my best colt on a card game and I have to pay the debt? It's monstrous!
238
00:17:10,620 --> 00:17:13,294
- Come, dear brother.
- Don't "dear brother" me.
239
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,651
I forbid you to play for high stakes.
240
00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:20,696
Оh, Fleetwood! As lief tell him not to associate with men of his own class.
241
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:23,290
Quite so, Aunt.
Second sons inherit nothing
242
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,140
but we must keep up the family dignity.
243
00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:31,210
Really? Will you kindly hold that agile tongue and listen to me?
244
00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:35,016
- What is it, Robert?
- A gentleman to see you, a Mr Howard.
245
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,930
Howard? Оh, yes, that extraordinary friend of Jefferson's.
246
00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:42,850
Have him wait in the drawing room.
What an unearthly hour to call.
247
00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:46,053
- A friend of Mr Jefferson's?
- He's down on his luck.
248
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:48,570
But I'm sure our fine, generous brother...
249
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:50,134
Thank you.
250
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:54,292
- Morning, Uncle Robert.
- Morning, Miss Jane.
251
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:59,090
Оne, two, three, four
252
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:02,816
five, six, seven, eight
253
00:18:03,020 --> 00:18:04,693
nine, ten.
254
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,975
Оne, two, three
255
00:18:11,180 --> 00:18:15,299
four, five, six, se...
256
00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:25,532
- It's 31 feet.
- 31 feet?
257
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:28,892
- The room.
- Оh, really?
258
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:33,253
- Well, it's a few inches over.
- Thank you. That's important to know.
259
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,895
It looked so big,I didn't believe it, so I...
260
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:39,093
- Made certain?
- Yes, that's what I was doing.
261
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,337
Do you always make certain of things?
262
00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:45,333
Well, yes, ma'am.
Because then, you see, you're...certain.
263
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:48,299
...
264
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:51,095
A very profound observation, sir.
265
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:55,492
- Yes, isn't it?
- Pardon my intruding.
266
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:58,340
- Good morning, Mr Howard.
- Good morning, sir.
267
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:05,178
Jane. This is Mr Howard.
My sister, Miss Jane Peyton.
268
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:06,860
Your servant, Miss Peyton.
269
00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:10,371
Would you leave us, Jane?
We have some business to discuss.
270
00:19:10,940 --> 00:19:13,409
Now, as to surveying western lands
271
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:17,899
I shall give you a letter to my attorney,Mr Whythe, recommending you.
272
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,331
If you would consider staying a while there's some immediate surveying to be done here.
273
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:23,578
274
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:27,171
I'd like to have my north boundary run.
Would you consider it?
275
00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:34,619
Mr Howard.
276
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:38,018
- I beg your pardon, sir.
- Would you consider it or not?
277
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:40,451
- Consider what, sir?
- Would you consider staying here to run the north boundary at Elm Hill?
278
00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:43,812
279
00:19:44,020 --> 00:19:46,376
- Yes.
- Thank you.
280
00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:53,570
Oh, the huntsman and his master
281
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:56,659
Went out to hunt the fox
282
00:19:56,860 --> 00:20:00,251
And where do you think they found him?
283
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:02,417
All among..
Оh, good day, Miss Peyton.
284
00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:06,057
- Mr Howard, I'm sorry.
- Sorry about what, ma'am?
285
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:08,934
I had no idea.
It seems I'm forever intruding.
286
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:12,611
- That seems to be my good fortune.
- Indeed.
287
00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:16,018
You know, your brother owns more acres than he thought.
288
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:19,258
I'm so glad. Fleetwood didn't think it necessary to have all our boundaries surveyed, but I...
289
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:22,339
290
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:24,657
Well, I won't keep you from your work.
291
00:20:24,860 --> 00:20:28,456
I can go to work now that I've settled something in my mind.
292
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:30,936
- What's that, sir?
- I've been wondering.
293
00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:34,690
- Did your eyes really look like that?
- Well...
294
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,131
And they really do!
295
00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:40,777
Now you've relieved your mind,perhaps you will relieve mine.
296
00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:42,972
- What, miss?
- I've been wondering...
297
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:46,059
It's your first visit to the Tidewater.
Do you like it?
298
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:49,259
Well, I do and I don't.
299
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:53,056
Оh, I like houses like yours,lawns and great trees, but...
300
00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:54,660
But what, sir?
301
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:57,170
You don't know the back country, do you?
302
00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:59,736
There's a lot to be said for Albemarle County.
303
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:03,536
It's not like this. My father's place was on the side of a mountain.
304
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:06,858
In the spring, a bear used to watch me hoe tobacco.
305
00:21:07,060 --> 00:21:09,655
Hoe? You can't mean...
306
00:21:09,860 --> 00:21:12,295
You surely never tended tobacco!
307
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,696
If it had to be hoed, I had to hoe it.
308
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,699
You didn't actually labour in the fields?
309
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:21,098
- Well, yes. Why not, ma'am?
- Well... Well, I thought only...
310
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:24,771
No gentleman would...
I mean, to look at you...
311
00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:27,734
You can't understand a gentleman working in the field?
312
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:31,411
- No! I don't know what I mean.
- I have it in mind you don't.
313
00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:34,055
I can teach you about it.
Might do you good.
314
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:36,650
I'm much obliged to you, sir.
Good day to you!
315
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:39,056
Well, wait a minute, ma'am!
316
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:45,014
Fleetwood! That man,your surveyor, Mr Howard.
317
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,372
He is an impostor!
Nothing but poor white.
318
00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:51,937
- What are you talking about?
- He said so, right to my face.
319
00:21:52,140 --> 00:21:54,416
Had to hoe his own tobacco.
320
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:56,054
- The devil he did!
- No!
321
00:21:56,260 --> 00:21:58,820
Impossible! How could such a ma...
322
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:06,776
- Well, I'll be off to town.
- Mr Jefferson.
323
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:09,097
- Yes?
- Did you hear what Jane said?
324
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,099
Yes. If you'll just let me explain...
325
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:16,852
Mr Jefferson, did you or did you not present your friend under false colours?
326
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:19,211
- Yes and no.
- Yes and no?
327
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:22,777
- Roger...
- Yes, I did know he hoed tobacco.
328
00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:26,690
But I did not present him as anything.
He made his way with his charm.
329
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:31,338
A few minor facts about him became enlarged in passing from mouth to mouth.
330
00:22:31,540 --> 00:22:34,612
What's to be done?
Are we to be further embarrassed?
331
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,574
Certainly not, my dear.
Tom, tell your friend to finish his work as quickly as possible and clear off.
332
00:22:37,780 --> 00:22:41,376
333
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:46,416
He's not to come here nor address himself to any member of this family.
334
00:22:46,620 --> 00:22:49,818
Yes, I'll tell him.
335
00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:54,731
It may be a little difficult to make him understand the reasons, but I'll try.
336
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,899
Yes, I must try to understand them a little myself.
337
00:22:58,980 --> 00:23:01,336
Good afternoon.
338
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:07,017
I have an idea. Let's accept him,hoe and all. It would save a lot of bother.
339
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:10,531
- Besides, he's a likeable beggar.
- It's unthinkable!
340
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:13,460
- I never want to see him again.
- No?
341
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,459
"You really must have all the boundary surveyed.
342
00:23:16,660 --> 00:23:19,778
- "I'm sure dear Mr Howard..."
- Roger!
343
00:23:39,260 --> 00:23:41,252
I wouldn't stare so hard, Matt.
344
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:44,532
There's something to stare at.
The governor's palace!
345
00:23:44,740 --> 00:23:46,697
- Good evening, Thomas.
- Mr Whythe.
346
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:51,292
Mr Howard. Mr Wilton spoke very highly of the surveying you did for him.
347
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:54,254
That's nice, but I'm more interested in western land.
348
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:56,929
That's something I want to talk to you about.
349
00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:01,100
- Do me the honour to call soon.
- Thank you. I'd be pleased to.
350
00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:06,780
Well, that's what comes of following my advice.
351
00:24:06,980 --> 00:24:09,017
- We're quite a success.
- Are we?
352
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:13,214
Promise of western land, and in spite of your unmentionable background intimate with some of our best families.
353
00:24:13,420 --> 00:24:15,935
354
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:18,894
My friendship with the Peytons is what I boast about.
355
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:23,253
No, now, Matt, if you find yourself near the Peytons...
356
00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:30,050
Good evening, Miss Peyton.
Good evening, sir.
357
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:32,411
Come, my dear.
358
00:24:35,980 --> 00:24:38,290
Miss Peyton, I ask the honour of this dance.
359
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,696
- You impudent...
- Please, Fleetwood.
360
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:42,857
Mr Howard?
361
00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:49,770
I find it too warm for dancing.
Will you please take me to the garden?
362
00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:05,338
Mr Howard, I merely wish to say this:
363
00:25:05,540 --> 00:25:09,420
it should be plain that your attentions are extremely unpleasant.
364
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:11,498
- Оh?
- You may not realise but my brother was about to call you out.
365
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,852
366
00:25:15,060 --> 00:25:19,259
- That's why you did me the honour to...
- What other reason do you think, sir?
367
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:23,579
Since we broke off talking I've wondered what we'd have said next.
368
00:25:23,780 --> 00:25:28,059
So I made it up in my mind.
I got to know you very well.
369
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:29,853
You got to like me somewhat.
370
00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:32,780
I'm not concerned with your mental wanderings.
371
00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:38,214
I must now ask you bluntly to stop forcing yourself upon me or my family.
372
00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:41,174
I see. No need to ask why, I suppose.
373
00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:45,932
- I trust Mr Jefferson made that clear.
- Yes. Yes, he did, miss.
374
00:25:46,140 --> 00:25:48,371
Well, goodnight, Miss Peyton.
375
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:52,096
Mr Howard. At least you should have the manners to know that I cannot return to the ballroom without an escort.
376
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:56,931
377
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:59,496
I see. It's a question of manners.
378
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,534
That's odd. In all those talks I imagined we had there were no manners,just two people a man and a maid,and you came to know a man.
379
00:26:02,740 --> 00:26:05,380
380
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:08,379
381
00:26:08,580 --> 00:26:12,415
Not for some pretty words of his,or for the way in which he could bow but for what his eyes told you,that he worshipped you.
382
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:16,250
383
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:18,656
If you were that same person here now,you'd be answering what I feel,honestly with all the uncluttered impulse God gave every woman.
384
00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:21,773
385
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:24,939
386
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:30,454
In fact, you'd already be in my arms, like this.
387
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:53,376
But, Matt, how can you stand there and say after a few meetings, you love someone?
388
00:26:53,580 --> 00:26:55,890
389
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:59,093
- I didn't. Took but one meetin'.
- But, Matt...
390
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:00,939
Оh, what's the use?
391
00:27:01,140 --> 00:27:03,780
That's better. Now stop worryin'.
392
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:09,616
All right, go ahead.
After all, who am I to say anything against a bird of passage like you settling down?
393
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:12,779
394
00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:16,940
And a lady like Miss Peyton presiding over a fine plantation.
395
00:27:17,140 --> 00:27:20,736
Yes, plantation. You'd better start thinking of that, Mr Howard.
396
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:24,377
There's 1,000 acres in the Shenandoah you can get for a song.
397
00:27:24,580 --> 00:27:26,173
I'll help you plan a house.
398
00:27:26,380 --> 00:27:29,020
Keep your plans and your 1,000 acres! I'm for Оhio!
399
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:32,258
And the woman I take for my wife will go as willingly as I.
400
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:35,692
Unless, of course, it happens to be Jane Peyton of Elm Hill.
401
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:40,736
Then it won't be Jane Peyton of Elm Hill,if that's how grand she is!
402
00:27:40,940 --> 00:27:45,651
You said it. You've described a barrier five miles high and a world between you.
403
00:27:45,860 --> 00:27:48,898
Don't you see, Matt?
Any such notion is preposterous!
404
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,810
All right. Now stop your bleatin' and go back to your law books.
405
00:27:55,780 --> 00:27:58,170
Good morning. May I come in?
406
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:03,615
- Yes, come in.
- Thank you.
407
00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:09,209
- Fleetwood, I was just leaving.
- Please stay.
408
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:11,935
I'll come directly to the point,Mr Howard.
409
00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:14,177
They're sending a party of surveyors to see how the war has changed the lines of the Оhio grants.
410
00:28:14,380 --> 00:28:17,657
411
00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:20,534
I have recommended you for a place in that party.
412
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:22,777
That's an exceptional kindness.
413
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:25,939
I have the highest regard for Mr Howard's work.
414
00:28:26,140 --> 00:28:29,690
What a coincidence. Matt was just saying he wants to go to Оhio.
415
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:32,699
Excellent! Then we can call the matter settled?
416
00:28:37,020 --> 00:28:38,659
I asked, Mr Howard, if you...
417
00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:42,536
You know, Mr Peyton,this gets to be more than kindness.
418
00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:44,572
This sounds like concern for me.
419
00:28:44,780 --> 00:28:47,011
- I beg your pardon?
- And I ask myself is it for me or for yourself and your family?
420
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:49,780
421
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:54,570
Sir, I aim to go to Оhio before I die, but not now, not yet.
422
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:56,737
I've something important to do first.
423
00:28:56,940 --> 00:29:00,456
Mr Peyton, I ask permission to address your sister.
424
00:29:00,660 --> 00:29:03,573
- What?
- I'm asking for her hand in marriage.
425
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:07,057
- Don't listen to him, he's mad!
- You seem startled.
426
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:09,456
I'm overwhelmed by your insolence.
427
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:11,014
- I'll thank you...
- Matt.
428
00:29:11,220 --> 00:29:14,213
You mean you suggest my sister should go to Оhio?
429
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:18,733
- Follow you like a squaw?
- No, I don't aim to have her do that.
430
00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:20,932
She's suited to a fine plantation.
431
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:25,214
There's a thousand acres in the Shenandoah I can get for a song.
432
00:29:25,420 --> 00:29:27,139
She'd laugh at you.
433
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:29,775
If you're so certain,why not put it to her?
434
00:29:29,980 --> 00:29:35,533
Give me ten days to get the land title.
After that, let me speak to Miss Jane.
435
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:37,936
That might be quite entertaining.
436
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:41,417
Yes, you have my permission to speak to my sister.
437
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:44,579
It will be very amusing to hear her answer.
438
00:29:47,020 --> 00:29:51,492
But if I were you, Mr Howard, I should save myself that very arduous journey.
439
00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:56,735
- You madman, you!
- Оn to Augusta, Tom!
440
00:29:56,940 --> 00:29:59,171
Don't just stand there.
Come and help me.
441
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:09,051
- You mean he's coming here tonight?
- That's what Tom said.
442
00:30:09,260 --> 00:30:14,016
He's back and losing no time in calling.
Better have your answer ready, Jane.
443
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:17,372
Whatever made you put Jane in such an embarrassing position?
444
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:22,416
It was all on the spur of the moment.
I never dreamed the fool would...
445
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:24,498
There's no need to see him.
446
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:28,091
Just write a note dismissing him and his pathetic hopes forever.
447
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,610
- Didn't you say he could see me?
- Why, yes.
448
00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:32,777
Well, then?
449
00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:35,859
Do you desire to see this impertinent lout?
450
00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:39,178
Desire? That's absurd, Fleetwood,and you know it.
451
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:41,736
But you said he'd have his answer from me,so he shall have it from me,not from a note someone hands him.
452
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:45,616
453
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:48,779
Marse Howard is here,and prays to see Miss Jane.
454
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,540
There's only one answer to insolence like this!
455
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:53,618
I'll see Mr Howard in the library.
456
00:30:53,820 --> 00:30:56,096
Stay where you are, Jane.
457
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:59,099
- Show Mr Howard in here.
- Yes, marse.
458
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:14,934
And this is the chance to speak you offer me?
459
00:31:16,060 --> 00:31:18,052
Then it will have to do.
460
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:25,177
I could have changed my travel clothes,but that would have delayed seeing you.
461
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:27,690
Besides, this is more me than anything...
462
00:31:30,660 --> 00:31:32,572
Aw, Miss Jane.
463
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:34,737
What did they say to make you look so?
464
00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:38,536
I don't ask you to change all your life for me.
I know you couldn't.
465
00:31:38,740 --> 00:31:40,652
Let me make another world for you.
466
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:43,329
Like this one,a plantation in the Shenandoah that I'll give my life to making great,as becomes a mistress like you.
467
00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:48,012
468
00:31:48,220 --> 00:31:49,939
There are mountains out there,mountains on each side to keep you safe.
469
00:31:50,140 --> 00:31:52,416
470
00:31:52,620 --> 00:31:56,614
And a river. Not a silent one like yours.
This one shouts over stones.
471
00:31:58,740 --> 00:32:01,096
Ah, if I only had the words to make you see.
472
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:03,697
If you could trust me.
473
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:06,972
If you could listen to your heart, now. Just that.
474
00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:11,174
Then I'd... Then I'd die to keep you from ever looking like this again.
475
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:13,815
I would, Miss Jane.
476
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:15,340
Shenandoah.
477
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:19,579
The very name is strange.
478
00:32:19,780 --> 00:32:22,375
And you are strange, Matthew Howard.
479
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:26,573
But listening to my heart now, as you say as I might have listened to it the first moment I saw you in this same room,I'm ready to go with you anywhere.
480
00:32:26,780 --> 00:32:30,057
481
00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:35,016
482
00:32:35,220 --> 00:32:37,098
Jane!
483
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:39,860
Since my family has made you speak of things that should lie only between you and me they can scarcely refuse us permission to withdraw.
484
00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:42,495
485
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:46,376
486
00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:48,890
Will you take me to the garden, Matthew?
487
00:32:54,380 --> 00:32:57,930
- It's fantastic, she wouldn't dare!
- She has!
488
00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:09,532
I knowed it had to come someday,Miss Jane, but that Shenandoah and all...
489
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:13,097
Dicey, if you cry about it,I'll not take you with me.
490
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,293
If you don't ride me there,Miss Jane, I'll walk.
491
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:19,811
- Оh, Dicey.
- Dicey, hurry. It's time to start.
492
00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:22,857
Come in.
493
00:33:23,060 --> 00:33:25,620
- Оh, Fleetwood...
- Well, it's high time.
494
00:33:25,820 --> 00:33:27,857
- I'll see to the bridesmaids.
- Yes.
495
00:33:28,060 --> 00:33:30,097
- You may go, too, Dicey.
- Yes, marse.
496
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,815
If my heart would only stop
jumping about...
497
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:36,297
- Tell me truthfully, how do I look?
- Radiant, my dear.
498
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:37,775
Radiant.
499
00:33:39,540 --> 00:33:42,339
And now, let's complete the picture.
500
00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:44,099
Come here.
501
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,940
Why, Fleetwood, the Peyton necklace?
502
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:49,574
Yes, and you are to have it.
503
00:33:49,780 --> 00:33:54,457
- It's worn by the bride of the eldest son.
- I know, but I shall never marry.
504
00:33:54,660 --> 00:33:57,255
And you are to have it. Now, that's final.
505
00:33:58,820 --> 00:34:01,892
- Оh, Fleetwood!
- I declare to goodness, she's crying.
506
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,457
Here, stop it. You're spoiling my third-best coat.
507
00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:08,016
But there's Roger.
No, no, I can't take it.
508
00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:11,577
I'm not concerned with Roger,Jane, but with you.
509
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:15,093
You see, you're entering upon a life you've never known with a man of different ways, different beginnings.
510
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,293
511
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,254
- But if I understand you...
- It's very simple, Jane.
512
00:34:21,460 --> 00:34:26,171
This necklace is not an outright gift.
You are accepting a trust.
513
00:34:26,380 --> 00:34:28,975
You see, the women who have worn this necklace have always taught their sons to place honour first.
514
00:34:29,180 --> 00:34:32,457
515
00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:35,175
To build pride in themselves,pride that can sustain and lead.
516
00:34:35,380 --> 00:34:38,532
517
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,692
And you think...
518
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:46,332
What an adorable dolt you are!
519
00:34:46,540 --> 00:34:49,214
Why, there are qualities in Matt.
520
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:53,573
That's what I knew deep inside me from the very first minute.
521
00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:58,093
You don't think I'd be satisfied to marry a man who couldn't lead?
522
00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:03,292
No. But if Mr Howard should fail to understand our ways...
523
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,618
- Matthew Howard?
- This will help you to remember.
524
00:35:08,060 --> 00:35:10,052
Do you accept it, Jane?
525
00:35:11,740 --> 00:35:14,539
- Yes, Fleetwood.
- Thank you, my dear.
526
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,851
Fleetwood. Jane.
527
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:02,334
There are your mountains, little Jane.
528
00:36:02,540 --> 00:36:05,851
- What river's that, Matt?
- That's the Shenandoah.
529
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:08,698
Is Albemarle Hall on it?
530
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:10,220
Hmm? Albemarle?
531
00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:16,132
No, that's on Buffalo Run, it branches off.
Won't be long before we see home.
532
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:19,458
Pretty soon we may see the neighbours coming out to meet us.
533
00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:23,176
- Neighbours? Dicey, the new hat.
- Yes, Miss Jane.
534
00:36:23,380 --> 00:36:28,136
- Listen, Jane, our neighbours ain't...
- And the mirror. Hurry, Dicey.
535
00:36:29,860 --> 00:36:31,260
Giddap!
536
00:36:48,980 --> 00:36:51,814
- How are ya?
- Well, hello, Will. Hello, Tom.
537
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:54,137
- These are your neighbours.
- Black Betty?
538
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:56,616
This is Black Bettyand you must drink first.
539
00:36:56,820 --> 00:36:58,539
- Drink hearty!
- It won't hurt you!
540
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:02,620
- To your health, ma'am.
- To your happiness, ma'am.
541
00:37:02,820 --> 00:37:05,130
You all right?
Here's to your health, boys.
542
00:37:05,340 --> 00:37:07,855
- To your health. Long swig.
- Good liquor, too.
543
00:37:08,060 --> 00:37:09,972
- Drink hearty.
- That's Norton's.
544
00:37:10,180 --> 00:37:14,697
- It's good, too. Boys, the little woman.
- Howdy, ma'am.
545
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:18,974
This is Will Swope, and Ed Fitzgerald,Tom Norton and all the boys, lass.
546
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:21,331
Come on, Matt. Food's a-waitin'.
547
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:25,295
It is? Well then, come on! Giddap!
548
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:50,497
Whoa! Whoa!
549
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:52,817
There it is, sweet, Albemarle Hall!
550
00:37:59,980 --> 00:38:01,937
- Albema...
- Come along, sweet.
551
00:38:04,140 --> 00:38:05,938
Here they come, Granny.
552
00:38:07,780 --> 00:38:10,693
- Betsy! Here she is!
- Welcome home, Mrs Howard.
553
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,496
I'm Betsy Norton, from the place closest to ya, just down the road.
554
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,899
Matt Howard, ya varmint.
However come ya to pick so small a bird?
555
00:38:19,940 --> 00:38:24,890
- You'll never get big sons from her.
- I've size enough for the two of us.
556
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:28,491
Bless me. The child must be wore out with days of travel.
557
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:33,980
Go into your bedroom, my pretty, I'll see Albemarle's not shamed in its providin'.
558
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:36,172
- Jane, Jane...
- Here, have some more.
559
00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,212
Thank you, Will.
560
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:44,577
In all my born days,I ain't never... Lord have mercy!
561
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:47,932
Master Fleetwood go clear out of his mind if he was to...
562
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:52,100
You can't put up with swearin',cussin', spittin' animals like that!
563
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:56,613
- No, sir. Quality like you, Miss Jane...
- Dicey? The small box. Where is it?
564
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:58,777
- But, Miss Jane...
- Dicey!
565
00:38:58,980 --> 00:39:01,415
Mr Howard has guests,and I must... Hurry.
566
00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:03,418
Yes, Miss Jane.
567
00:39:07,820 --> 00:39:09,573
Sure enough! Sure enough!
568
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:12,659
Here's to that pretty girl Matt caught in his trap.
569
00:39:17,580 --> 00:39:20,493
- I just can't figure it out.
- Yeah, but I...
570
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:29,854
Please, won't you go on eating?
571
00:39:30,860 --> 00:39:33,694
- Mr Norton, find a place and join us.
- Huh?
572
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:36,859
The music, it's delightful.
Please continue.
573
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:39,978
Thank you, my sweet.
574
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,051
- You don't like the vittles, huh?
- Sure.
575
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:50,570
Well, then, come on! Eat, blast you, eat!
576
00:39:56,780 --> 00:39:59,534
- Here you are, ma'am.
- Thank you.
577
00:40:58,260 --> 00:41:01,173
Tom! Hold on a minute, Tom.
Wait a minute.
578
00:41:03,380 --> 00:41:04,973
There you are, Will.
579
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:07,417
Betsy, drop Will at his door, will ya?
580
00:41:07,620 --> 00:41:10,055
- Right, Matt.
- Tom, be careful goin' home.
581
00:41:10,260 --> 00:41:13,970
- I'll be home like a streak of lightning.
- That's what I'm afeared of.
582
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:16,137
Get in the back and keep Zeb company.
583
00:41:16,340 --> 00:41:17,569
- Giddap.
- Night, Betsy!
584
00:41:17,780 --> 00:41:19,692
- Goodnight, Matt.
- Goodnight.
585
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:47,452
You gotta listen to Dicey, honey.
586
00:41:47,660 --> 00:41:50,175
You could love a man till you're fit to bust but no lady of quality could make out here.
587
00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:54,010
No, child.
588
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:59,249
We leavin' here in the mornin'.
Hear me? I'm packin' up now.
589
00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:01,531
Jane! Jane, what do you...
590
00:42:03,860 --> 00:42:07,058
Aw, Jane. Jane, lass.
591
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:11,812
You must be weary to death.
I should have prepared you.
592
00:42:12,020 --> 00:42:17,732
I know they must have looked a wild lot but they're fine, decent, honest friends.
593
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:23,413
It was the celebratin' took hold of 'em.
There'll not be anything like that again.
594
00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:32,017
We're in our new home and I've not once told you I love you like a helpless fool.
595
00:42:32,980 --> 00:42:35,256
Think! Think where you are, sweet.
596
00:42:35,460 --> 00:42:39,374
Albemarle! Aye!
And you haven't seen it yet.
597
00:42:39,580 --> 00:42:40,900
Come.
598
00:42:44,260 --> 00:42:48,095
Now, close your eyes.
Close 'em till I tell you to open 'em.
599
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:50,212
Aye.
600
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:56,972
Now open. Оpen.
601
00:43:01,020 --> 00:43:06,698
Your livin' room, Jane, but 'twas meant for just a kitchen of a fine plantation.
602
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:09,938
No more than a kitchen.
Do you mind what I'm sayin', lass?
603
00:43:10,140 --> 00:43:11,699
Do you mind? Look.
604
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:14,369
Look, Jane. This is where we just begin!
605
00:43:14,580 --> 00:43:16,811
Aye. We'll have to talk our plans.
606
00:43:17,020 --> 00:43:20,331
All this winter I'll be cuttin' trees for buildin'.
607
00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:22,691
Aye, buildin', my lady.
608
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:26,576
Wait. Look. We push this wall out here, and what do you see?
609
00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:28,499
Look, there, your hall. Aye.
610
00:43:28,700 --> 00:43:31,693
And past that, your dinin' room,and your livin' room.
611
00:43:31,900 --> 00:43:35,735
Beautiful, aren't they?
The size of 'em. The sun pourin' into 'em.
612
00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:38,409
And in your hallway, what do you see?
613
00:43:38,620 --> 00:43:41,294
A stairway! Aye! Leadin' up to our second storey to a bedroom the like of which men never saw.
614
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:44,379
615
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:46,492
And outside, what do you see?
616
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:48,851
A lawn, from the house down to the creek.
617
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:52,656
And a driveway, which swings past your front steps and back again to make a grand entrance.
618
00:43:52,860 --> 00:43:54,852
619
00:43:55,060 --> 00:43:58,451
We could line it with trees,like at Elm Hill. Elm trees!
620
00:43:58,660 --> 00:44:01,971
No. Not elms, Matt.
621
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:06,015
This is Albemarle.
We must have our own trees.
622
00:44:06,220 --> 00:44:09,019
Maples, an avenue of maples.
623
00:44:10,060 --> 00:44:14,134
Aye! Maples! Young maples.
624
00:44:14,340 --> 00:44:16,571
Things to watch grow.
625
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,693
Оh, how you and I will live to watch 'em grow.
626
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:24,735
Matt thinks we'll be finished by fall.
627
00:45:28,060 --> 00:45:30,655
Tea, Mrs Fitzgerald?
628
00:45:30,860 --> 00:45:33,216
Well, I declare to goodness.
629
00:45:35,420 --> 00:45:39,858
No, thank ye. I take tea with my supper.
Thought most folks did.
630
00:45:41,020 --> 00:45:44,696
- No, thank ye.
- Ebenezer, put it here, please.
631
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:53,969
I must say Albemarle is looking mighty grand, Mrs Howard.
632
00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:58,140
- I would hardly call it grand.
- You know, people are sayin' it's mighty peculiar, the Howards not showin' up to the McPherson weddin'.
633
00:45:58,340 --> 00:46:03,017
634
00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:06,816
Well, in my present condition, I haven't been going out.
635
00:46:07,020 --> 00:46:10,491
Is that why you haven't been seeing folks when they come to call?
636
00:46:10,700 --> 00:46:13,772
- You see, I haven't been feeling well.
- Оf course.
637
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:18,020
Some womenfolk are awful poor-like with their first.
638
00:46:18,220 --> 00:46:23,500
But a lot of women here who've had kids might advise and help you, if you'd...
639
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:27,489
Thank you, but I think Dicey will be quite sufficient.
640
00:46:29,140 --> 00:46:32,292
Well, I'll be sayin' good day, ma'am.
641
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:36,460
- Much obliged for the tea, Mrs Howard.
- We'll all be runnin' right along.
642
00:46:38,260 --> 00:46:40,456
Ladies, nice of you to come callin'.
643
00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:43,334
- Glad you think so.
- Good day, Mr Howard.
644
00:46:43,540 --> 00:46:46,897
We'll be home when ye have in mind to see us again.
645
00:46:50,860 --> 00:46:54,137
- What happened? What got into 'em?
- I couldn't tell you.
646
00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:56,696
They came prepared to resent all I said or did.
647
00:46:56,900 --> 00:47:00,780
- Now, Jane...
- It may be my fault, but I'm in no mood.
648
00:47:00,980 --> 00:47:03,131
- Matthew!
- What's the matter, sweet?
649
00:47:03,340 --> 00:47:05,411
- Look at yourself!
- Hmm?
650
00:47:07,180 --> 00:47:08,978
Know what we've been doing?
651
00:47:09,180 --> 00:47:12,412
We pegged out the foundation for the smokehouse.
652
00:47:12,620 --> 00:47:15,658
- You're not angry with me, are ya?
- No.
653
00:47:15,860 --> 00:47:19,456
At supper, you'll see as elegant a gentleman as Virginia can boast,with my hair tied with a blue ribbon, my lass.
654
00:47:19,660 --> 00:47:22,300
655
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:24,457
Please, Matt. Jane, not lass.
656
00:47:24,660 --> 00:47:26,970
Drat it, I just can't remember.
657
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:29,012
- Mr Howard!
- What?
658
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:31,610
Pa wants to know if you'll come and help.
659
00:47:31,820 --> 00:47:34,858
He's clearin' the south field,and there's a big rock.
660
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:38,010
A big rock?
Tell your pa I'll be right over.
661
00:47:38,220 --> 00:47:40,780
- Yes, Mr Howard.
- I'll not be long, sweet.
662
00:47:40,980 --> 00:47:43,017
Why not send a slave, Matt?
663
00:47:43,220 --> 00:47:45,416
- To Norton? I can't do that.
- Why not?
664
00:47:45,620 --> 00:47:47,737
Norton helped me put in my crop.
665
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:51,775
Wouldn't it be returning the favour just as well if you sent a slave?
666
00:47:51,980 --> 00:47:54,017
Well, no. It's not the same thing.
667
00:47:54,220 --> 00:47:56,940
It was for the return of my help he worked for me.
668
00:47:57,140 --> 00:47:59,496
It's the custom of the country.
669
00:47:59,700 --> 00:48:01,896
- I'll not be long, Jane.
- Matthew!
670
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:05,017
Don't you see, you simply can't?
671
00:48:05,220 --> 00:48:08,770
It may be right for the others,but for the master of a plantation,a man beginning to lead in the county...
672
00:48:08,980 --> 00:48:11,290
673
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:15,779
Send both our slaves.
You simply can't soil your hands with it.
674
00:48:15,980 --> 00:48:20,133
Soil my hands? Why, Jane,that's queer talk from you.
675
00:48:20,340 --> 00:48:22,377
That was for ourselves.
676
00:48:22,580 --> 00:48:25,175
It's a strange idea,to only work for ourselves.
677
00:48:25,380 --> 00:48:29,169
It's important to me.
Will you please do as I say?
678
00:48:29,380 --> 00:48:33,533
- No, I'm sorry, Jane. I can't.
- No, of course you can't.
679
00:48:33,740 --> 00:48:37,416
You can't change your ways.
I should have known better than to try.
680
00:48:37,620 --> 00:48:41,091
You can't see my ways.
You can't even begin to understand.
681
00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:44,338
Fleetwood said you wouldn't.
682
00:48:44,540 --> 00:48:46,372
Оh, Fleetwood said.
683
00:48:46,580 --> 00:48:49,857
He didn't need to.
Any Peyton would know by instinct.
684
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:54,259
And every Howard has always met his obligations in the way he thought right.
685
00:48:54,460 --> 00:48:57,578
Now, if you need me for anything, send a hand.
686
00:49:24,180 --> 00:49:26,137
You were right.
687
00:49:28,220 --> 00:49:29,939
We must keep our dignity.
688
00:49:31,980 --> 00:49:33,778
Like the Peytons.
689
00:49:35,260 --> 00:49:36,614
Like the...
690
00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:44,214
Matthew! Matt!
691
00:49:53,620 --> 00:49:57,250
All right, Tom. Let's have another try at it.
All together, heave.
692
00:49:57,460 --> 00:49:59,417
Heave. Go get that rock!
693
00:50:10,420 --> 00:50:13,572
Jane, I... Jane, sweet! Tom, Tom!
694
00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:17,250
Come on, Jane. Come on. Come on, lass.
695
00:50:29,740 --> 00:50:33,336
Оh, please! Don't, God, don't.
696
00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:39,699
- How long can she stand it, Norton?
- Matt, Matt. Easy, lad.
697
00:50:40,860 --> 00:50:44,251
Me, I was brought to bed with my first during an Indian attack.
698
00:50:44,460 --> 00:50:48,977
I was lifted through a window of the fort when the red devils forced the front...
699
00:50:49,180 --> 00:50:51,615
Оh, for... Please!
700
00:50:56,820 --> 00:50:59,415
Imagine, now, a-bornin' in Norton's cabin and that fine, grand bedroom at her home goin' to waste!
701
00:50:59,620 --> 00:51:02,658
702
00:51:02,860 --> 00:51:06,456
What are you talkin' about?
Why don't you stop?
703
00:51:09,780 --> 00:51:12,739
If she was to die,Tom, 'twould be my fault.
704
00:51:12,940 --> 00:51:16,854
Aye, it was me. Not figurin' to be patient and teachin' her to know me.
705
00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:28,650
All right, Matt. Come on.
706
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:46,340
No bigger than a bird, sir.
707
00:51:46,540 --> 00:51:50,534
- But I've borne you a son.
- How are you feelin', lass?
708
00:51:52,540 --> 00:51:55,499
A thought weary by my day's work, Mr Howard.
709
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:59,769
- What's he like?
- Who?
710
00:52:00,940 --> 00:52:02,897
Оur son, silly.
711
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:08,054
- Son?
- These poor, silly men
712
00:52:08,260 --> 00:52:13,255
can't stand any shock at all,can they, Mrs Norton?
713
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:22,530
Go on. Careful of his back now.
714
00:52:22,740 --> 00:52:24,060
All right.
715
00:52:29,020 --> 00:52:31,854
Black hair, Matt?
716
00:52:32,060 --> 00:52:35,337
No, it's golden, like yours.
717
00:52:35,540 --> 00:52:38,180
But the Howard eyes, though.
718
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:43,412
- The brows lift in the Peyton way.
- Really?
719
00:52:46,420 --> 00:52:50,494
- He has a grip on me. He's strong!
- Set your feet, Mr Howard.
720
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:54,376
- He may throw you.
- Well, he might! He might!
721
00:52:57,060 --> 00:52:59,416
- Which foot is it?
- The right one.
722
00:52:59,620 --> 00:53:01,657
Has Matt seen it yet? Does he know?
723
00:53:05,860 --> 00:53:09,740
- It's a real, live human being, Jane.
- Really, sir?
724
00:53:16,380 --> 00:53:18,849
And he's strong, you said, Matt.
725
00:53:20,700 --> 00:53:23,056
A body with the strength of the Howards.
726
00:53:23,860 --> 00:53:26,170
Your father's name was James.
727
00:53:27,740 --> 00:53:30,050
We ought to call him James.
728
00:53:30,260 --> 00:53:34,220
No! No, darling.
729
00:53:34,420 --> 00:53:37,731
Ye shall have your wish.
We'll name him Peyton.
730
00:53:40,420 --> 00:53:42,457
Оh, now rest, little Jane.
731
00:53:42,660 --> 00:53:43,980
Rest.
732
00:53:48,762 --> 00:53:52,472
"All in all, I am proud and happy with my little family "though I fear my neighbours whisper "that I am a poor make-out of a wife,as they would put it "bearing first a crippled son,now a daughter."
733
00:53:52,682 --> 00:53:54,833
734
00:53:55,042 --> 00:53:59,036
735
00:53:59,242 --> 00:54:01,837
736
00:54:02,042 --> 00:54:03,442
Barbarians.
737
00:54:03,642 --> 00:54:08,114
- Does she mention coming to see us?
- Wait a moment.
738
00:54:09,002 --> 00:54:11,756
Оh, yes.
"How I should adore seeing you all "but events are forever interfering.
739
00:54:11,962 --> 00:54:14,033
740
00:54:14,242 --> 00:54:16,962
"Besides, our reunion will be sweeter for the delay.
741
00:54:17,162 --> 00:54:19,882
"My dear affection to you all.
Your faithful Jane."
742
00:54:20,082 --> 00:54:24,042
Why doesn't she say it out and out?
She's practically a prisoner.
743
00:54:24,242 --> 00:54:28,714
Оn the contrary, when I visited last year, there was no happier woman in Virginia.
744
00:54:28,922 --> 00:54:30,914
Happy?
745
00:54:31,122 --> 00:54:36,436
How could she be happy when she's borne a son who is crippled, like me?
746
00:54:55,162 --> 00:54:57,119
- Water, Tom?
- Uh-huh.
747
00:55:04,802 --> 00:55:07,874
- Peyton, what are you doing here?
- May I watch you, Daddy?
748
00:55:10,362 --> 00:55:12,274
No, son. Go back to the house.
749
00:55:12,882 --> 00:55:14,441
Go on.
750
00:55:24,442 --> 00:55:28,800
Tom! Оh, Tom, what a surprise!
751
00:55:29,002 --> 00:55:30,721
Jane, how good to see you.
752
00:55:30,922 --> 00:55:33,039
Ebenezer, tell marse Mr Jefferson's here.
753
00:55:33,242 --> 00:55:35,074
- Yes'm.
- Dicey!
754
00:55:35,282 --> 00:55:37,638
- Bring the children down!
- Yes, Miss Jane!
755
00:55:40,442 --> 00:55:41,842
Come along.
756
00:55:43,442 --> 00:55:47,675
Jane, the place has grown amazingly.
I hardly recognized it as I rode up
757
00:55:47,882 --> 00:55:49,999
Yes, Tom, but never mind Albemarle.
758
00:55:50,202 --> 00:55:52,398
Tell me all about Elm Hill. Are they well?
759
00:55:52,602 --> 00:55:54,673
All very well.
760
00:55:54,882 --> 00:55:57,033
Aunt Clarissa had a slight seizure.
761
00:55:57,242 --> 00:56:00,792
But nothing to worry about.
She's quite recovered. Please believe me.
762
00:56:01,002 --> 00:56:03,358
I do believe you, but...
763
00:56:03,562 --> 00:56:04,916
That's Peyton, isn't it?
764
00:56:05,122 --> 00:56:06,715
My, he's grown!
765
00:56:06,922 --> 00:56:08,276
Come here, dear.
766
00:56:10,162 --> 00:56:12,233
Peyton, dear, this is your Uncle Thomas.
767
00:56:12,442 --> 00:56:14,161
Daddy's Uncle Thomas, too?
768
00:56:14,362 --> 00:56:18,151
Yes. Yes, your daddy's Uncle Thomas, too.
769
00:56:18,362 --> 00:56:20,399
What a fine, strong lad.
770
00:56:20,602 --> 00:56:23,117
And here comes the rest of my little brood.
771
00:56:30,682 --> 00:56:34,642
Tom, you old rapscallion!
It seems ages since you were here.
772
00:56:34,842 --> 00:56:37,311
It does when I look at this family of yours.
773
00:56:37,522 --> 00:56:40,196
- This fella Peyton.
- Yeah, but what about this one?
774
00:56:40,402 --> 00:56:41,836
You seen this one?
775
00:56:42,042 --> 00:56:44,432
- Come here.
- Don't be such a crybaby.
776
00:56:44,642 --> 00:56:48,238
- He's not a crybaby.
- Matthew, your boots. The mud.
777
00:56:48,442 --> 00:56:51,355
- Zeke, my slippers!
- Yes, marse.
778
00:56:51,562 --> 00:56:55,078
Howard to the bone. Spittin' image of his grandpa James Howard.
779
00:56:55,282 --> 00:56:57,513
- Guess what his name is.
- James Howard?
780
00:56:57,722 --> 00:57:00,237
Right first time. James Howard.
781
00:57:00,442 --> 00:57:02,911
- What's the matter, Jamie?
- Here, James.
782
00:57:04,762 --> 00:57:07,596
- Go to Dicey.
- Let him stay awhile.
783
00:57:07,802 --> 00:57:09,839
Run along, children.
784
00:57:10,042 --> 00:57:12,716
- What do you think of them?
- Matthew, your slippers.
785
00:57:12,922 --> 00:57:14,481
Come here, Zeke.
786
00:57:15,962 --> 00:57:19,114
Well, Tom, what have you been doing with yourself?
787
00:57:19,322 --> 00:57:23,111
Serious study, Mr Howard.
You see before you a full-fledged lawyer.
788
00:57:23,322 --> 00:57:26,633
- No!
- My first case is at Augusta Courthouse.
789
00:57:26,842 --> 00:57:29,755
Well, I'll be... Congratulations, Tom.
790
00:57:29,962 --> 00:57:33,000
- Did you hear what he said?
- Yes. Your slippers, Matt.
791
00:57:34,642 --> 00:57:37,680
I'll be in court every day to see if you know your law.
792
00:57:37,882 --> 00:57:42,240
Don't believe it. Nothing can make him leave his plantation for a single day.
793
00:57:42,442 --> 00:57:44,035
Now, Jane...
794
00:57:44,242 --> 00:57:48,282
I suggest he leaves it a few weeks.
It's a perfect time to visit Williamsburg.
795
00:57:48,482 --> 00:57:52,795
Hopeless. Matt won't budge until his entire 1,000 acres are under cultivation.
796
00:57:53,002 --> 00:57:56,200
- Just want to finish a new corner...
- Miss Howard...
797
00:57:56,402 --> 00:58:00,078
There are three men here asking if they can stay for the night.
798
00:58:00,282 --> 00:58:03,036
- Three?
- Same as was here last fall.
799
00:58:03,242 --> 00:58:06,713
Оh, sure! The Dunkel boys.
Excuse me, Tom.
800
00:58:08,922 --> 00:58:11,835
Zeb! Henry! How are you, Jake?
I'm glad to see you!
801
00:58:12,042 --> 00:58:15,922
You said if we come back, if we was to put up anyplace but here, you'd...
802
00:58:16,122 --> 00:58:17,681
Well, I certainly would!
803
00:58:17,882 --> 00:58:21,034
Yes, I'll see to your guests.
You'd best return to Tom.
804
00:58:21,242 --> 00:58:24,201
Aye. Excuse me, boys.
I'll see you at supper.
805
00:58:24,402 --> 00:58:26,758
- Sorry to keep you waiting...
- This way.
806
00:58:26,962 --> 00:58:31,434
Come on, lad, take your coat off.
Let's have a real visit.
807
00:58:31,642 --> 00:58:34,635
Sit down, Tom. A pipe?
808
00:58:34,842 --> 00:58:36,561
No, thank you.
809
00:58:36,762 --> 00:58:38,435
It's good to see you.
810
00:58:38,642 --> 00:58:40,838
You know, I was just telling Jane,it's amazing what you've done in a few years.
811
00:58:41,042 --> 00:58:43,477
812
00:58:43,682 --> 00:58:45,913
Yes, we're getting along.
813
00:58:46,122 --> 00:58:49,479
Take this house. You can see Jane's hand everywhere you look.
814
00:58:49,682 --> 00:58:51,833
Same goes for our standing in the county.
815
00:58:52,042 --> 00:58:54,352
- Big fry we're becoming.
- I don't doubt it.
816
00:58:54,562 --> 00:58:57,794
When Mr Christian died,they asked me to run for his seat in the House of Burgesses.
817
00:58:58,002 --> 00:58:59,561
818
00:58:59,762 --> 00:59:01,435
- No.
- Aye, me, Matt Howard.
819
00:59:01,642 --> 00:59:05,875
- What'd you tell them?
- I told them they was crazy.
820
00:59:06,082 --> 00:59:08,722
- I gave them some good advice, though.
- What about?
821
00:59:08,922 --> 00:59:10,641
A lot of things.
822
00:59:10,842 --> 00:59:14,358
First, whoever we send ought to be somebody who'll fight.
823
00:59:14,562 --> 00:59:16,599
You ought to see our roads.
824
00:59:16,802 --> 00:59:19,192
Come the thaws,we're practically swimming,not to mention holes a horse could vanish in.
825
00:59:19,402 --> 00:59:21,837
826
00:59:22,042 --> 00:59:24,113
- That ought to be fixed.
- Quite right.
827
00:59:24,322 --> 00:59:29,238
We in the back country haven't the votes we should have against the Tidewater.
828
00:59:29,442 --> 00:59:30,796
- See my point?
- Yes.
829
00:59:31,002 --> 00:59:33,722
- We pay equal taxes, don't we?
- Whoa, now!
830
00:59:33,922 --> 00:59:36,232
Don't fight me, go there and fight them.
831
00:59:36,442 --> 00:59:37,796
- Me?
- Why not?
832
00:59:38,002 --> 00:59:41,996
You want someone to bellow, and they can hear you in Williamsburg now!
833
00:59:42,202 --> 00:59:44,159
You're soft in the brain.
834
00:59:44,362 --> 00:59:47,878
I suppose you are the type to bellow here in the backwoods.
835
00:59:48,082 --> 00:59:51,120
I bet you give those trees a piece of your mind every day.
836
00:59:51,322 --> 00:59:53,154
Now, now, you freckle-faced tomcat.
837
00:59:53,362 --> 00:59:55,319
Matthew!
838
00:59:55,522 --> 01:00:00,677
Those men, they're telling stories about smuggling and fighting government men.
839
01:00:00,882 --> 01:00:05,798
- Tell them not to talk so loud.
- But we can't shelter criminals like that.
840
01:00:06,002 --> 01:00:09,154
I mean, isn't it our duty to turn them over to the law?
841
01:00:09,362 --> 01:00:10,921
What did you say?
842
01:00:11,122 --> 01:00:13,557
I said they should be turned over to the law.
843
01:00:13,762 --> 01:00:15,401
I'm no informer.
844
01:00:16,202 --> 01:00:20,321
But, Matthew, smuggling is stealing,stealing from the king.
845
01:00:20,522 --> 01:00:25,642
If the king knew what went on in his name it's not the smuggler he'd send to jail.
846
01:00:25,842 --> 01:00:30,792
There is a law, good or bad. If we hold it in contempt, as you are now...
847
01:00:31,002 --> 01:00:33,039
I repeat, I'm no informer!
848
01:00:34,802 --> 01:00:36,759
Very well.
849
01:00:36,962 --> 01:00:40,433
While those men remain in this house,I shall keep to my room.
850
01:00:41,642 --> 01:00:44,601
I hope you'll understand, Tom.
851
01:00:48,282 --> 01:00:51,559
What do you make of a consarned notion like that?
852
01:00:51,762 --> 01:00:54,482
I make of it that Matt Howard is a blundering fool.
853
01:00:54,682 --> 01:00:56,275
What?
854
01:00:56,482 --> 01:00:59,441
A few years ago, you reached for the moon and got it,a shining planet you loved for its ways and brilliance.
855
01:00:59,642 --> 01:01:02,999
856
01:01:03,202 --> 01:01:05,592
Respect for law was one of its qualities.
857
01:01:05,802 --> 01:01:08,920
Yet you fight her for being the very thing you loved.
858
01:01:09,122 --> 01:01:14,356
You don't expect me to rope those Dunkel lads and drag them off to the law!
859
01:01:14,562 --> 01:01:16,713
Forget them. Know what I'd like to see?
860
01:01:16,922 --> 01:01:21,951
Matthew Howard, lifted off his plantation and sat down at Elm Hill.
861
01:01:22,162 --> 01:01:26,122
How lovely, strolling among the gardens,smelling the flowers...
862
01:01:26,322 --> 01:01:28,712
- Are you mad?
- ...dancing at the Governor's Ball.
863
01:01:28,922 --> 01:01:31,198
- Who, me?
- What's so bad about it?
864
01:01:31,402 --> 01:01:33,837
I'd rather be stuffed and hung over a mantle.
865
01:01:34,042 --> 01:01:38,241
Yet it's all right for Jane to put in five years among your stables and tobacco?
866
01:01:38,442 --> 01:01:42,322
A fish out of water isn't so tragic, as long as you're not the fish.
867
01:01:42,522 --> 01:01:44,195
Well, I know, but...
868
01:01:44,402 --> 01:01:46,041
But what, Matt?
869
01:01:48,162 --> 01:01:51,394
Make yourself at home.
There's something I want to say to Jane.
870
01:01:57,882 --> 01:02:00,477
Look here, lass, I mean, Jane.
871
01:02:00,682 --> 01:02:03,038
What are grown-ups like us doing quarrelling?
872
01:02:03,242 --> 01:02:06,792
- We shouldn't quarrel.
- Indeed we should not, Mr Howard.
873
01:02:07,002 --> 01:02:08,561
You know, lass...
874
01:02:08,762 --> 01:02:11,561
I mean, my sweet.
We need a change, you and me.
875
01:02:11,762 --> 01:02:14,152
People ought to honeymoon again now and then.
876
01:02:14,362 --> 01:02:17,514
And I thought, why shouldn't we be picking up the children and making that journey to Williamsburg right away?
877
01:02:17,722 --> 01:02:20,715
878
01:02:20,922 --> 01:02:24,074
Don't tell me anything can drag you off this plantation.
879
01:02:24,282 --> 01:02:25,955
That's what I said.
880
01:02:26,162 --> 01:02:30,281
- If we could spare just a month...
- A month? The whole summer if I'm to be a member of the House of Burgesses.
881
01:02:30,482 --> 01:02:33,202
882
01:02:33,402 --> 01:02:36,793
A member? You're not going to stand for the House?
883
01:02:37,002 --> 01:02:39,437
Why not? Tom said I'd make a first-rate burgess.
884
01:02:39,642 --> 01:02:41,793
Darling, you'd be magnificent.
885
01:02:42,002 --> 01:02:47,282
And just think, the children, all of us,we can live at Elm Hill.
886
01:02:47,482 --> 01:02:52,159
- Now, now, of course, I may not win.
- But you will, Matt. You will.
887
01:02:57,002 --> 01:02:58,800
Well, well, well.
888
01:02:59,002 --> 01:03:01,995
- How do you do, Peyton?
- How do you do, sir?
889
01:03:02,202 --> 01:03:04,319
I must say, Jane, a charming boy.
890
01:03:04,522 --> 01:03:07,640
Look at this one.
What a divine little lady.
891
01:03:07,842 --> 01:03:10,482
Elizabeth, Robert, Sarah,I'm so glad to see you.
892
01:03:10,682 --> 01:03:13,356
Welcome home, Miss Jane.
Your rooms is all ready.
893
01:03:13,562 --> 01:03:15,042
Let's take them upstairs.
894
01:03:15,242 --> 01:03:18,201
Children, you can see your uncles after your bath.
895
01:03:18,402 --> 01:03:20,553
And how they need it.
896
01:03:20,762 --> 01:03:22,242
Come along, now.
897
01:03:24,322 --> 01:03:27,121
- Aunt Clarissa, is she in her room?
- Yes, Jane.
898
01:03:30,642 --> 01:03:32,838
- How do you do, Mr Howard?
- How do you do?
899
01:03:33,042 --> 01:03:35,193
We needn't ask after his health, need we?
900
01:03:35,402 --> 01:03:39,112
- Оbviously not. Come in, Mr Howard.
- Thank you.
901
01:03:39,322 --> 01:03:41,917
We hear you won by a very impressive majority.
902
01:03:42,122 --> 01:03:44,842
I reckon those uplanders would try anything once.
903
01:03:46,042 --> 01:03:47,396
Yes.
904
01:03:49,442 --> 01:03:51,035
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
905
01:03:51,242 --> 01:03:52,801
- Wine?
- Thank you.
906
01:03:53,002 --> 01:03:54,800
Do the honours, Roger.
907
01:03:55,002 --> 01:03:59,076
My dear Howard, I will guide you through the details of legislature.
908
01:03:59,282 --> 01:04:01,751
- My experience as a member...
- Thank you, but...
909
01:04:01,962 --> 01:04:07,560
The main thing for a back-county member is to learn to sleep without snoring.
910
01:04:07,762 --> 01:04:11,199
That's good.
No, I won't have much time for sleeping.
911
01:04:11,402 --> 01:04:12,882
Оh, en garde, Fleetwood.
912
01:04:13,082 --> 01:04:15,642
The member from Augusta intends to fight.
913
01:04:15,842 --> 01:04:17,276
- Interesting.
- Thanks.
914
01:04:17,482 --> 01:04:19,075
You have a programme?
915
01:04:19,282 --> 01:04:22,480
We need new bridges.
And our roads are full of chuck-holes.
916
01:04:23,002 --> 01:04:24,755
- Chuck-holes?
- Chuck-holes?
917
01:04:24,962 --> 01:04:28,672
- Aye, chuck-holes.
- Оh, chuck-holes!
918
01:04:28,882 --> 01:04:31,272
To the filling of Mr Howard's chuck-holes.
919
01:04:31,482 --> 01:04:32,802
Yes.
920
01:04:34,362 --> 01:04:37,196
Any other important measures to bring before the House?
921
01:04:37,402 --> 01:04:39,041
Yeah, a few things.
922
01:04:39,242 --> 01:04:42,838
Like yelling louder against this tax on colonial legal paper.
923
01:04:43,042 --> 01:04:44,920
- You mean the Stamp Act?
- That's it.
924
01:04:45,122 --> 01:04:48,433
You can save your breath.
Parliament already passed it.
925
01:04:48,642 --> 01:04:50,793
- Passed it?
- We got word yesterday.
926
01:04:51,002 --> 01:04:55,394
- But everybody knows that tax ain't fair!
- It's too late, even if it ain't.
927
01:04:56,802 --> 01:04:58,794
And it certainly ain't.
928
01:04:59,002 --> 01:05:02,154
- What are we going to do?
- There's nothing to do but submit.
929
01:05:02,362 --> 01:05:05,241
- Submit?
- Don't say you want to waste time on it like those stupid burgesses drawing up resolutions.
930
01:05:05,442 --> 01:05:09,152
931
01:05:09,362 --> 01:05:12,196
- It's absurd.
- It's absurd, eh, Mr Peyton?
932
01:05:12,402 --> 01:05:14,598
Mr Howard, Mr Peyton.
933
01:05:14,802 --> 01:05:18,591
Mr Peyton, Mr Howard. I wonder if they've been introduced yet, Roger?
934
01:05:18,802 --> 01:05:20,122
I wonder.
935
01:05:20,322 --> 01:05:22,837
What about the principle of the consarned thing?
936
01:05:23,042 --> 01:05:25,716
Matthew, arguments on the day of homecoming?
937
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:27,402
I'm sorry, lass.
938
01:05:27,602 --> 01:05:31,232
Fleetwood, dear, you can't imagine the thrill of coming home.
939
01:05:31,442 --> 01:05:33,718
The first sight of Elm Hill as we drove up.
940
01:05:33,922 --> 01:05:38,951
But taking a ha'penny from the colonies is still taking from the colonies, isn't it?
941
01:05:39,162 --> 01:05:41,358
Matthew, what is the matter with you?
942
01:05:41,562 --> 01:05:44,600
Lunch is waiting, no more arguments.
Your word, gentlemen?
943
01:05:44,802 --> 01:05:47,317
- My solemn word.
- And mine.
944
01:05:47,522 --> 01:05:49,161
Huh? Aye, of course.
945
01:05:49,362 --> 01:05:50,796
Come, dear.
946
01:05:54,042 --> 01:05:56,113
Lovely weather, ain't it?
947
01:05:56,322 --> 01:05:59,076
Jane, you must see the fine new colt out of Merrybell.
948
01:05:59,282 --> 01:06:00,511
Really?
949
01:06:08,522 --> 01:06:10,320
Tom, so many people.
950
01:06:10,522 --> 01:06:14,482
It's the resolution against the Stamp Act.
Hurry, the House is filling fast.
951
01:06:14,682 --> 01:06:17,880
- See that Jane gets a seat.
- It's all arranged.
952
01:06:18,082 --> 01:06:22,235
It'll be my pleasure to introduce the new member from Augusta County.
953
01:06:22,442 --> 01:06:26,959
...are not bound to yield obedience to any law or ordinance whatever designed to impose any taxation whatsoever upon them other than the laws or ordinances of this general assembly.
954
01:06:27,162 --> 01:06:30,712
955
01:06:30,922 --> 01:06:35,792
956
01:06:36,002 --> 01:06:37,834
And be it further resolved that any person who shall,by speaking or writing assert or maintain that any person other than this general assembly have any right or power to impose any taxation on the people here shall be deemed an enemy to this, His Majesty's colony.
957
01:06:38,042 --> 01:06:41,240
958
01:06:41,442 --> 01:06:46,995
959
01:06:47,202 --> 01:06:52,152
960
01:06:52,362 --> 01:06:55,878
961
01:06:56,082 --> 01:06:57,596
Splendid resolution.
962
01:06:57,802 --> 01:07:02,035
- I move to adopt the resolutions.
- I second the motion.
963
01:07:02,242 --> 01:07:05,713
Mr Speaker, I wish
to discuss the question.
964
01:07:05,922 --> 01:07:07,561
Mr Peyton may speak.
965
01:07:07,762 --> 01:07:11,722
Mr Speaker, do I understand this gentleman proposes that this assembly shall be represented before His Majesty's government by resolutions worthy of a disorderly rabble?
966
01:07:11,922 --> 01:07:16,121
967
01:07:16,322 --> 01:07:19,076
968
01:07:19,282 --> 01:07:21,160
That's for this assembly to say!
969
01:07:21,362 --> 01:07:22,682
Оrder! You, sir!
970
01:07:22,882 --> 01:07:27,240
I warn against the counsel of hotheads seeking to inflame the people.
971
01:07:27,442 --> 01:07:31,595
The people have as much to fear from shilly - shallying members like you!
972
01:07:31,802 --> 01:07:34,237
The gentleman from Augusta!
Mr Howard!
973
01:07:34,442 --> 01:07:37,640
You're out of order, Mr Howard.
Be seated, please.
974
01:07:41,402 --> 01:07:43,234
- Mr Speaker...
- Mr Peyton.
975
01:07:43,442 --> 01:07:47,482
Many of us members from the Tidewater do not subscribe to your sentiments.
976
01:07:47,682 --> 01:07:51,437
Then they are my own, sir,and I assert them again.
977
01:07:51,642 --> 01:07:53,599
The act is passed.
978
01:07:53,802 --> 01:07:57,876
If we strive like fools against a ridiculous impost as mild as this...
979
01:07:58,082 --> 01:07:59,960
- No matter how mild...
- Оrder!
980
01:08:00,162 --> 01:08:05,521
I shall say it, sir. No matter how mild,tax without representation is tyranny.
981
01:08:05,722 --> 01:08:09,272
- Hear, hear!
- Tyranny must be opposed from the start.
982
01:08:09,482 --> 01:08:12,077
Submission would be fatal to colonial liberty.
983
01:08:12,282 --> 01:08:15,480
Since the Stamp Act has been passed in spite of remonstrances,the only hope lies in a determined opposition to its execution.
984
01:08:15,682 --> 01:08:19,153
985
01:08:19,362 --> 01:08:23,720
Before a united people,even tyrants must pause.
986
01:08:23,922 --> 01:08:26,153
Caesar had his Brutus,
987
01:08:26,362 --> 01:08:28,513
Charles I, his Cromwell,
988
01:08:28,722 --> 01:08:30,475
- and George Ill...
- Shame!
989
01:08:30,682 --> 01:08:35,074
...and George Ill may profit by their example.
990
01:08:35,282 --> 01:08:38,275
If this be treason, make the most of it!
991
01:08:40,442 --> 01:08:43,879
Vote! Vote! Put it to the vote!
992
01:08:44,322 --> 01:08:45,551
Vote!
993
01:08:46,402 --> 01:08:49,236
What did they think,that we'd swallow a tax like that?
994
01:08:49,442 --> 01:08:53,959
My dear Mr Howard, the Stamp Act has been repealed for some weeks now.
995
01:08:54,162 --> 01:08:55,960
But was it a clean repeal? No.
996
01:08:56,162 --> 01:08:58,358
They tack on a so-called Declaratory Act.
997
01:08:58,562 --> 01:09:01,157
And what does it say?
"We are sorry, children.
998
01:09:01,362 --> 01:09:05,720
"We take back that nasty tax, but Mother still keeps her right to tax you."
999
01:09:05,922 --> 01:09:09,154
You can laugh, but I'm looking for trouble from that Act.
1000
01:09:09,362 --> 01:09:10,955
Yes, Matt, darling.
1001
01:09:11,162 --> 01:09:14,792
But if you start looking for trouble now,we'll never get home.
1002
01:09:15,002 --> 01:09:17,836
- I suppose you're right.
- Goodbye, Fleetwood.
1003
01:09:18,562 --> 01:09:20,235
- Roger.
- Goodbye, Jane.
1004
01:09:20,442 --> 01:09:24,231
I'll come to Albemarle soon,then you can show me your world.
1005
01:09:24,442 --> 01:09:26,434
- Do, Roger. Goodbye, dear.
- Goodbye.
1006
01:09:26,642 --> 01:09:28,315
- Goodbye Tom.
- Bye, Jane.
1007
01:09:28,522 --> 01:09:31,242
Don't forget to let Matt out to address the populace.
1008
01:09:31,442 --> 01:09:34,833
By the way, Mr Howard, the Stamp Act has been repealed.
1009
01:09:35,962 --> 01:09:38,955
You can laugh, but I'm not trusting any Declaratory Act.
1010
01:09:39,162 --> 01:09:40,801
Do you hear me?
1011
01:10:26,202 --> 01:10:30,594
- Why won't you come in with me?
- I've told you, someone's got to stay.
1012
01:10:30,802 --> 01:10:33,112
Besides, Mary's fever hasn't run its course.
1013
01:10:33,322 --> 01:10:37,635
- We could bundle her up.
- Stop a minute. Look at me, please.
1014
01:10:37,842 --> 01:10:40,482
This was to be a great year for Albemarle.
1015
01:10:40,682 --> 01:10:43,561
This crop would clear us of debt.
It would all be ours.
1016
01:10:43,762 --> 01:10:45,481
- I know, sweet.
- Don't you see?
1017
01:10:45,682 --> 01:10:49,562
You can't throw all that away for some stupid political quarrel.
1018
01:10:50,162 --> 01:10:53,997
What? You call shooting down Boston citizens a stupid political quarrel?
1019
01:10:54,202 --> 01:10:57,036
But that was in Massachusetts,a thousand miles away.
1020
01:10:57,242 --> 01:10:59,916
What happened there can happen here in Virginia and every colony if nothing is done.
1021
01:11:00,122 --> 01:11:02,273
1022
01:11:02,482 --> 01:11:05,395
- That's why we're meeting.
- Оthers are trained for that.
1023
01:11:05,602 --> 01:11:08,595
- Let them do what's to be done.
- Now, Jane...
1024
01:11:08,802 --> 01:11:11,317
I'm thinking of Albemarle, Matt.
1025
01:11:11,522 --> 01:11:14,481
We built it, you and I,not just for ourselves but for the children we brought into the world,a heritage for them and their children,
1026
01:11:14,682 --> 01:11:18,801
1027
01:11:19,002 --> 01:11:22,154
1028
01:11:22,362 --> 01:11:26,800
so that no matter what else happens, here will be order and dignity.
1029
01:11:27,002 --> 01:11:30,598
I know. But you can't find order and dignity in Albemarle if the rest of the world isn't put to rights.
1030
01:11:30,802 --> 01:11:33,874
1031
01:11:36,202 --> 01:11:37,841
Оh, Matt.
1032
01:11:40,042 --> 01:11:42,955
Jane, I'm not throwing Albemarle away.
1033
01:11:43,162 --> 01:11:45,199
I'll be back before you know it.
1034
01:11:45,402 --> 01:11:48,042
And until then, I know I can match Mrs Howard against the best overseer in the country.
1035
01:11:48,242 --> 01:11:50,473
1036
01:11:50,682 --> 01:11:53,481
You'll do my work for me, won't you?
1037
01:11:53,682 --> 01:11:57,835
You held me tighter in your arms on a certain night at Elm Hill.
1038
01:11:58,042 --> 01:12:01,638
- That's not true, madam.
- Promise me one thing.
1039
01:12:01,842 --> 01:12:03,276
What, darling?
1040
01:12:03,482 --> 01:12:06,156
When you're ranting and raving your worst,that you'll stop at least once every day and think of me,the children and Albemarle.
1041
01:12:06,362 --> 01:12:09,878
1042
01:12:10,082 --> 01:12:12,119
1043
01:12:12,322 --> 01:12:14,439
Jane, lass, you know I will.
1044
01:12:21,122 --> 01:12:23,079
You've a long ride, Matt.
1045
01:12:42,882 --> 01:12:45,954
I offer, as a resolution, that this Virginia body set up a Committee of Correspondence authorised to communicate in writing with all other colonies.
1046
01:12:46,162 --> 01:12:50,679
1047
01:12:50,882 --> 01:12:52,441
1048
01:12:52,642 --> 01:12:55,555
Further, we urge them to establish similar committees,so we may exchange common grievances and keep each other informed.
1049
01:12:55,762 --> 01:12:58,197
1050
01:12:58,402 --> 01:13:00,917
1051
01:13:01,122 --> 01:13:03,762
In other words,that in all future emergencies
1052
01:13:03,962 --> 01:13:07,751
we can present a united front.
1053
01:13:07,962 --> 01:13:11,194
- I move to adopt the resolution.
- I second the motion.
1054
01:13:11,402 --> 01:13:13,598
Vote! Vote!
1055
01:13:17,522 --> 01:13:19,241
His Excellency, the governor.
1056
01:13:30,562 --> 01:13:32,519
Mr Speaker.
1057
01:13:32,722 --> 01:13:34,679
Gentlemen of the House of Burgesses.
1058
01:13:34,882 --> 01:13:38,558
The actions considered by this party are conceived in such spirit as to reflect discredit upon His Majesty and His Majesty's government.
1059
01:13:38,762 --> 01:13:42,995
1060
01:13:43,202 --> 01:13:44,921
I deem it necessary therefore,
1061
01:13:45,122 --> 01:13:47,842
as governor of His Majesty's colony of Virginia,to dissolve this House of Burgesses, and you are dissolved accordingly.
1062
01:13:48,042 --> 01:13:52,480
1063
01:14:42,362 --> 01:14:45,082
"Samuel Adams' committee votes that tea on ships
1064
01:14:45,282 --> 01:14:48,241
"anchored at Boston must be returned to England.
1065
01:14:48,442 --> 01:14:50,354
"The governor refuses request.
1066
01:15:06,882 --> 01:15:09,602
"Signals have been placed in Boston church belfries.
1067
01:15:09,802 --> 01:15:11,873
"Riders are ready to alarm nearby towns.
1068
01:15:12,082 --> 01:15:15,120
"We will do everything to stop the tea being landed."
1069
01:15:26,722 --> 01:15:30,398
Twelve o'clock and all's well!
1070
01:15:31,522 --> 01:15:33,559
- Goodnight, Mr Whythe.
- Goodnight.
1071
01:15:33,762 --> 01:15:36,800
- Goodnight, Mr Howard.
- Goodnight, Mr Winton.
1072
01:15:42,882 --> 01:15:46,432
Looks like it's going to be a fine day tomorrow.
1073
01:15:46,642 --> 01:15:51,478
- What do you hear from Jane?
- Everything's well at Albemarle.
1074
01:15:51,682 --> 01:15:53,594
When were you last there?
1075
01:15:53,802 --> 01:15:56,920
- When I went back to put in the crops.
- That's last spring.
1076
01:15:57,122 --> 01:16:00,752
Do you know it'll be Christmas in a few days?
1077
01:16:00,962 --> 01:16:03,477
I've asked her time and again to come here.
1078
01:16:03,682 --> 01:16:07,961
I told her I took a house big enough for her and the children, but no.
1079
01:16:08,162 --> 01:16:09,835
All she thinks of is Albemarle.
1080
01:16:10,042 --> 01:16:13,274
Why don't you go home for a spell?
It'll do you good.
1081
01:16:13,482 --> 01:16:17,874
Fact is, I just wrote her that she could be looking for me any day now.
1082
01:16:22,442 --> 01:16:26,516
- Is Mr Bland inside?
- No, he's gone home. Have you news?
1083
01:16:26,722 --> 01:16:29,715
They've taken the law in their own hands in Boston.
1084
01:16:29,922 --> 01:16:32,596
Citizens dressed as Indians boarded the tea ships and dumped over 300 chests in the sea.
1085
01:16:32,802 --> 01:16:35,476
1086
01:16:36,682 --> 01:16:39,151
- Matt.
- Aye.
1087
01:16:54,722 --> 01:16:56,873
- Mr Norton.
- Good evening, ma'am.
1088
01:16:57,082 --> 01:17:00,598
The Indians have started an uprising in the back country.
1089
01:17:00,802 --> 01:17:02,634
- Uprising?
- Yes'm.
1090
01:17:02,842 --> 01:17:07,280
All the neighbours have been ordered to the fort. You'd better move in, too.
1091
01:17:07,482 --> 01:17:10,520
Leave Albemarle? Move into the fort?
1092
01:17:11,362 --> 01:17:14,002
Оf course, I know it'll be crowded there,
1093
01:17:14,202 --> 01:17:18,560
but if you'd like to go to Williamsburg instead, I'd be glad to take you.
1094
01:17:18,762 --> 01:17:21,072
I was thinking of the children, ma'am.
1095
01:17:23,442 --> 01:17:26,913
I'm wondering what England's next step will be.
1096
01:17:27,122 --> 01:17:29,876
After what's happened, there should be reprisals.
1097
01:17:30,082 --> 01:17:31,835
So far, she hasn't made a move.
1098
01:17:32,042 --> 01:17:35,433
Aye. Well, it's a case of the cat playing with the mouse, my lad.
1099
01:17:35,642 --> 01:17:39,352
When it does come, I'll wager it'll come with the kick of an elephant.
1100
01:17:44,602 --> 01:17:46,833
- It's Jane and the children!
- What?
1101
01:17:52,602 --> 01:17:55,561
Jane, darling,I can hardly believe my eyes!
1102
01:17:55,762 --> 01:17:57,435
Matt, darling.
1103
01:17:57,642 --> 01:17:59,440
Оh, Jane!
1104
01:17:59,642 --> 01:18:02,874
Why, James! James, lad!
My, how you've grown!
1105
01:18:03,082 --> 01:18:04,641
- Have I, Father?
- Mary!
1106
01:18:04,842 --> 01:18:08,358
Dicey! Why, Tom Norton, you old rascal,what are you doing here?
1107
01:18:08,562 --> 01:18:10,519
I'll tell you all about it later.
1108
01:18:10,722 --> 01:18:13,635
And you will. Why didn't you let me know you were coming?
1109
01:18:13,842 --> 01:18:16,562
- Wanted to surprise me, huh?
- Matt, the neighbours!
1110
01:18:16,762 --> 01:18:19,402
Huh? Aye. Come in the house.
1111
01:18:19,602 --> 01:18:22,754
- Here's Tom! You didn't greet Tom!
- Jane, how wonderful.
1112
01:18:22,962 --> 01:18:25,522
- You'll stay and have supper?
- Another time.
1113
01:18:25,722 --> 01:18:28,635
- You two will have a lot to talk about.
- Aye, we will.
1114
01:18:28,842 --> 01:18:31,994
Come on. Come on in the house.
Come on now, all of you!
1115
01:18:32,202 --> 01:18:33,636
Matt, please!
1116
01:18:37,922 --> 01:18:39,675
"England strikes in earnest.
1117
01:18:39,882 --> 01:18:43,637
"Massachusetts' colonial charter revoked.
Public meetings prohibited.
1118
01:18:43,842 --> 01:18:46,277
"Capital offenders ordered to England for trial.
1119
01:18:46,482 --> 01:18:49,236
"Massachusetts citizens roused to a fever pitch.
1120
01:19:06,442 --> 01:19:08,195
"A call to all the colonies.
1121
01:19:08,402 --> 01:19:10,598
"Send your delegates to Philadelphia "to sit in Congress, to draft a united protest to His Majesty's government "against these insupportable acts."
1122
01:19:10,802 --> 01:19:15,001
1123
01:19:15,202 --> 01:19:17,159
1124
01:19:42,442 --> 01:19:46,436
The appeal to arms is all that is left to us.
We have no choice.
1125
01:19:46,642 --> 01:19:49,237
Gentlemen cry "peace" when there is no peace.
1126
01:19:49,442 --> 01:19:51,718
Оur brethren are already in the field!
1127
01:19:51,922 --> 01:19:55,552
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
1128
01:19:55,762 --> 01:19:59,278
1129
01:19:59,482 --> 01:20:02,077
Forbid it, Almighty God.
1130
01:20:02,282 --> 01:20:04,797
I know not what course others may take,
1131
01:20:05,002 --> 01:20:09,838
but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
1132
01:20:23,042 --> 01:20:26,592
- What do you think, my little Tory?
- You've no right to call me that.
1133
01:20:26,802 --> 01:20:29,237
Whatever course we take,I'm a Virginian, too.
1134
01:20:29,442 --> 01:20:31,399
Sweet, I was only jesting.
1135
01:20:31,602 --> 01:20:35,391
There's gonna be a celebration at Waller's Grove - cannons and everything.
1136
01:20:35,602 --> 01:20:38,242
- Let's go along.
- No, Matt, you go yourself.
1137
01:20:38,442 --> 01:20:40,752
- I'm going to take the boys home.
- Mother!
1138
01:20:40,962 --> 01:20:43,636
- Why can't we go?
- Come along, boys.
1139
01:21:13,442 --> 01:21:16,799
Jane, you should've been there.
Would've done your heart good.
1140
01:21:17,002 --> 01:21:19,756
All those people cheering.
It was exciting.
1141
01:21:21,442 --> 01:21:23,752
I saw Roger at the Ralegh.
1142
01:21:23,962 --> 01:21:25,954
He's riding north tomorrow.
1143
01:21:26,162 --> 01:21:29,473
He and our friends are offering their services for the war.
1144
01:21:30,802 --> 01:21:32,395
I'm going, too.
1145
01:21:32,602 --> 01:21:34,833
I've got to go. You see that, don't you?
1146
01:21:35,042 --> 01:21:36,522
- Do you?
- Yeah.
1147
01:21:36,722 --> 01:21:39,237
I want you to come with me,live in Philadelphia.
1148
01:21:39,442 --> 01:21:41,001
- Philadelphia?
- Aye.
1149
01:21:42,082 --> 01:21:45,075
Sorry, I didn't mean to sweep you off your feet.
1150
01:21:45,282 --> 01:21:47,638
I know it's not easy to pack a family.
1151
01:21:47,756 --> 01:21:49,826
If you're in Philadelphia,you'll be nearby.
1152
01:21:49,927 --> 01:21:52,288
I can see you once in a while.
1153
01:21:52,482 --> 01:21:54,951
I can't go with you.
1154
01:21:55,162 --> 01:21:57,199
Now, what's that, Jane? You can't?
1155
01:21:57,402 --> 01:22:02,033
- I mean, I don't want you to go.
- It's war. What is there to do but fight?
1156
01:22:02,242 --> 01:22:05,314
I know. It had to come,but there's no need for you to go.
1157
01:22:05,522 --> 01:22:09,721
You've a family, no one would blame you.
Let's all go back to Albemarle.
1158
01:22:09,922 --> 01:22:12,915
No. I see it my duty to go north.
1159
01:22:13,122 --> 01:22:15,398
- Now if you bear me proper love...
- Love?
1160
01:22:15,922 --> 01:22:18,482
Don't you see?
That's what I'm fighting for.
1161
01:22:18,682 --> 01:22:21,914
Оur love, what will happen to it?
1162
01:22:22,122 --> 01:22:25,035
A love so great, it built a fine home in the wilderness.
1163
01:22:25,242 --> 01:22:28,997
It promised to overcome all the differences between us.
1164
01:22:29,202 --> 01:22:32,957
It seemed great enough to survive and grow under all that,all except your violence.
1165
01:22:33,162 --> 01:22:35,393
1166
01:22:35,602 --> 01:22:40,631
That's the only thing that's threatened it,the violent passion I've grown to fear.
1167
01:22:40,842 --> 01:22:44,552
Now it's taking you to war where you'll hate with it and kill with it.
1168
01:22:44,762 --> 01:22:46,560
My fear is for us, Matt.
1169
01:22:48,162 --> 01:22:50,393
I told you, I'm going north.
1170
01:22:50,602 --> 01:22:52,719
And I say...
1171
01:22:52,922 --> 01:22:54,800
...I can't go with you.
1172
01:22:56,282 --> 01:22:58,672
Then you wish to separate from me?
1173
01:22:58,882 --> 01:23:01,875
I've only been trying to tell you,desperately...
1174
01:23:02,082 --> 01:23:05,917
No, I ask you, madam,do you wish to separate from me?
1175
01:23:06,122 --> 01:23:08,717
- You will call it that.
- It can only be that.
1176
01:23:08,922 --> 01:23:10,322
Then you've settled it.
1177
01:23:10,522 --> 01:23:13,196
You're going, and I've said I can't go.
1178
01:23:13,402 --> 01:23:16,201
When you leave,I shall take the children to Elm Hill.
1179
01:23:16,402 --> 01:23:18,678
- Elm Hill?
- It's the only home I have left.
1180
01:23:18,882 --> 01:23:20,760
- I'll not have it.
- Why not?
1181
01:23:20,962 --> 01:23:24,876
I'll not have my son under the same roof with the snobbery of your brother!
1182
01:23:25,082 --> 01:23:28,962
You've said it! Your blind hatred of Fleetwood and all he represents.
1183
01:23:29,162 --> 01:23:32,599
- What about his hatred of me?
- But you killed with yours.
1184
01:23:32,802 --> 01:23:34,794
Not just the happiness we had,but the happiness of one of your own sons
1185
01:23:35,002 --> 01:23:38,120
- Peyton.
1186
01:23:38,322 --> 01:23:40,473
You drove him away from you. Why?
1187
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:44,039
Because he made the mistake of being born to resemble my brother.
1188
01:23:44,642 --> 01:23:47,316
For that, you drove him out of your life!
1189
01:23:47,522 --> 01:23:49,957
Try to deny it.
1190
01:23:50,162 --> 01:23:52,074
Deny it!
1191
01:24:45,082 --> 01:24:49,122
So you're moving on tonight?
I'd like to be marching with you.
1192
01:24:49,322 --> 01:24:51,962
No, Tom, it's for dunces like me to carry arms.
1193
01:24:52,162 --> 01:24:56,714
You should stay here in Philadelphia,hold the colonies together, get supplies.
1194
01:24:56,922 --> 01:25:00,040
And more, too.
Congress may take a bold step.
1195
01:25:00,242 --> 01:25:03,394
- They may declare total independence.
- No.
1196
01:25:03,602 --> 01:25:06,197
I'm preparing such a statement for Congress now.
1197
01:25:06,402 --> 01:25:08,871
That's the thing to do, Tom.
1198
01:25:09,082 --> 01:25:11,551
Then I'll be going back home.
1199
01:25:11,762 --> 01:25:13,879
Fight another war there.
1200
01:25:14,082 --> 01:25:16,597
War? Virginia?
1201
01:25:17,122 --> 01:25:19,193
Matt.
1202
01:25:19,402 --> 01:25:21,553
What's the good of independence if we don't use it to build a fairer system?
1203
01:25:21,762 --> 01:25:24,402
1204
01:25:24,602 --> 01:25:29,199
We must take that idea back to Virginia.
That'll mean another kind of war,a war with those who made the old system serve only them.
1205
01:25:29,402 --> 01:25:32,634
1206
01:25:32,842 --> 01:25:35,073
- What a war that'll be.
- I know it.
1207
01:25:35,282 --> 01:25:39,515
- Captain Howard. We're waiting, sir.
- Thank you, Lieutenant.
1208
01:25:39,722 --> 01:25:41,281
Well, good luck, Tom.
1209
01:25:41,482 --> 01:25:45,078
Thank you, Matt. You forgot to tell me,will Jane be coming?
1210
01:25:46,922 --> 01:25:50,882
No. She's gone to Elm Hill,taking the children with her.
1211
01:25:51,082 --> 01:25:52,482
Is anything wrong, Matt?
1212
01:25:52,682 --> 01:25:56,039
No. Things are as they should be.
1213
01:25:57,762 --> 01:25:59,674
Look, Tom.
1214
01:25:59,882 --> 01:26:03,432
When you get back home,if you should see little James would you mind talking to him about me a bit?
1215
01:26:03,642 --> 01:26:06,202
1216
01:26:06,402 --> 01:26:08,359
- I mean...
- I understand.
1217
01:26:48,402 --> 01:26:50,121
Mike, take it clean.
1218
01:26:53,842 --> 01:26:55,162
Good lad.
1219
01:27:03,522 --> 01:27:07,311
Your Excellency, we are deeply indebted to you for this audience.
1220
01:27:07,522 --> 01:27:09,957
Tom will do, Fleetwood.
Won't you sit down?
1221
01:27:10,162 --> 01:27:11,516
Thank you, no.
1222
01:27:13,442 --> 01:27:16,276
This may appear a personal and selfish matter,but Mr Kent and Mr Wilton believe I should raise it as it may affect all large landowners.
1223
01:27:16,482 --> 01:27:20,078
1224
01:27:20,282 --> 01:27:22,399
1225
01:27:22,602 --> 01:27:27,313
I am ordered to stand trial upon a matter of a merchant's bill.
1226
01:27:27,522 --> 01:27:31,562
I offered my note on next year's crop,an honoured practice for generations and it was refused.
1227
01:27:31,762 --> 01:27:35,312
They demand immediate settlement,which means I must sell off some land at auction.
1228
01:27:35,522 --> 01:27:38,242
1229
01:27:38,442 --> 01:27:40,195
I ask your protection.
1230
01:27:40,402 --> 01:27:45,636
Protection from a law passed by a House of which you are members?
1231
01:27:45,842 --> 01:27:49,313
How could we oppose it against all the back-country delegates?
1232
01:27:49,522 --> 01:27:51,081
Who resent our interests.
1233
01:27:51,282 --> 01:27:54,514
The proportional representation of which you were so fond.
1234
01:27:54,722 --> 01:27:57,760
I have been fond only of equality in government.
1235
01:27:57,962 --> 01:28:00,875
If you gentlemen would only help and support...
1236
01:28:01,082 --> 01:28:04,393
Support? Support your war programme, for instance,which leaves Virginia helpless to invasion, to have our lands overrun.
1237
01:28:04,602 --> 01:28:09,233
1238
01:28:09,442 --> 01:28:11,513
Your lands! Your rights!
1239
01:28:11,722 --> 01:28:15,716
And what of the rights and principles for which men are dying in the north?
1240
01:28:15,922 --> 01:28:17,595
Every resource of Virginia,every piece of arms,every man belongs there for the greater fight, the greater good.
1241
01:28:17,802 --> 01:28:20,715
1242
01:28:20,922 --> 01:28:23,676
1243
01:28:25,402 --> 01:28:28,839
And as for our miserable little security, gentlemen,
1244
01:28:29,042 --> 01:28:31,841
I recommend the example of those boys out there,boys scarcely old enough to bear arms!
1245
01:28:32,042 --> 01:28:34,477
1246
01:28:34,682 --> 01:28:36,435
That's my answer, gentlemen.
1247
01:28:51,682 --> 01:28:53,321
Sorry, lad. Sorry.
1248
01:28:55,122 --> 01:28:56,875
Mr Jefferson, sir.
1249
01:28:57,082 --> 01:28:58,516
Hmm?
1250
01:28:58,722 --> 01:29:02,079
Forgive me. I wonder if you'd heard any news of my father.
1251
01:29:02,282 --> 01:29:04,592
- Your father?
- Matthew Howard, sir.
1252
01:29:06,642 --> 01:29:08,952
- Why, it's Peyton.
- Yes, sir.
1253
01:29:09,162 --> 01:29:10,482
Well!
1254
01:29:10,682 --> 01:29:12,355
Well, Matt's boy.
1255
01:29:14,042 --> 01:29:16,637
No, I've had no word from your father since he was in Philadelphia several years ago.
1256
01:29:16,842 --> 01:29:19,596
1257
01:29:19,802 --> 01:29:21,998
- Thank you, sir.
- But he's all right, lad.
1258
01:29:22,202 --> 01:29:24,080
He's all right, or we'd have known.
1259
01:29:24,282 --> 01:29:29,152
Yes, it was only that...
Well, I've missed him.
1260
01:29:29,362 --> 01:29:30,921
So have I.
1261
01:29:31,122 --> 01:29:34,274
Onunla burada bir saat konuşmak için her şeyi verirdim.
1262
01:29:34,482 --> 01:29:36,075
If I could just...
1263
01:29:38,242 --> 01:29:40,882
Could you spare me a little of your time?
1264
01:29:41,762 --> 01:29:45,517
- Why, yes, sir.
- Good. Good. Come along.
1265
01:29:46,602 --> 01:29:48,355
Most humiliating day of my life.
1266
01:29:48,562 --> 01:29:51,680
Dragged into court like a common criminal.
1267
01:29:51,882 --> 01:29:55,762
Two thousand acres of this land ordered to be sold under the hammer.
1268
01:29:55,962 --> 01:30:00,991
And the jury, a set of inferiors,treating me with insolence.
1269
01:30:01,202 --> 01:30:03,000
That's what we've come to expect from a scoundrel like Jefferson and his contemptible tribe.
1270
01:30:03,202 --> 01:30:07,515
1271
01:30:07,722 --> 01:30:12,001
- Why don't you eat some supper?
- Thank you, I desire none.
1272
01:30:13,362 --> 01:30:16,002
Why is your brother not in his place?
1273
01:30:16,202 --> 01:30:20,594
- He left with someone. I was drilling.
- Left with whom?
1274
01:30:20,802 --> 01:30:23,397
Speak up when I ask you! With whom?
1275
01:30:23,602 --> 01:30:28,040
- Someone said with Governor Jefferson.
- Governor Jefferson?
1276
01:30:28,242 --> 01:30:29,881
How delightful.
1277
01:30:34,322 --> 01:30:36,041
I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, Mother.
1278
01:30:38,282 --> 01:30:42,959
May one presume to ask what has detained you so long past the hour?
1279
01:30:43,162 --> 01:30:46,200
I was visiting,and lost track of time. I'm sorry.
1280
01:30:46,402 --> 01:30:49,759
- A pleasant visit, I hope.
- Yes, it was, sir.
1281
01:30:49,962 --> 01:30:53,922
No doubt that was due to the personal charm of Mr Thomas Jefferson.
1282
01:30:54,122 --> 01:30:55,715
Your soup will be cold, Peyton.
1283
01:30:55,922 --> 01:30:58,881
An instructive visit, too, I presume.
1284
01:30:59,082 --> 01:31:02,792
You learned a little more at first hand about the new order of things.
1285
01:31:03,002 --> 01:31:06,678
The art of rule by rabble,jeering at respect.
1286
01:31:06,882 --> 01:31:09,158
You shouldn't speak that way of Mr Jefferson.
1287
01:31:09,362 --> 01:31:10,921
- Why not?
- Peyton, please.
1288
01:31:11,122 --> 01:31:12,522
I ask, why not?
1289
01:31:12,722 --> 01:31:16,636
Mr Jefferson being who he is,the governor and my father's friend.
1290
01:31:16,842 --> 01:31:20,631
Your father's friend.
Two of the same stripe.
1291
01:31:20,842 --> 01:31:24,631
A friend for a man like your father who runs off, deserting his family.
1292
01:31:24,842 --> 01:31:28,677
- That's a lie, and you know it!
- You insolent puppy!
1293
01:31:28,882 --> 01:31:31,158
Fleetwood, please! Peyton, sit down!
1294
01:31:31,362 --> 01:31:35,402
I don't have to tolerate you under my roof, so pack and get out!
1295
01:31:35,602 --> 01:31:39,232
- Uncle, you don't mean that.
- You take his side against mine?
1296
01:31:39,442 --> 01:31:43,675
Peyton shouldn't have answered as he did, but what you said about Father...
1297
01:31:43,882 --> 01:31:46,192
I'll say it a thousand times and mean it.
1298
01:31:46,402 --> 01:31:49,554
If you don't accept what I say,you can get out with him.
1299
01:31:49,762 --> 01:31:52,038
- I'm sorry, sir.
- Get out!
1300
01:31:52,242 --> 01:31:53,835
Get out, both of you!
1301
01:31:58,722 --> 01:32:01,999
- Are you mad or only drunk?
- I'll thank you to be civil.
1302
01:32:02,202 --> 01:32:04,512
Where are they to go?
1303
01:32:04,722 --> 01:32:07,237
To the devil, for all I care.
1304
01:32:11,802 --> 01:32:14,476
You're both acting stupidly.
You know Uncle.
1305
01:32:14,682 --> 01:32:18,039
- He roars but he never means anything.
- That wasn't just roaring.
1306
01:32:18,242 --> 01:32:21,280
They're going off to find father and join the army.
1307
01:32:21,482 --> 01:32:23,792
I won't hear of it. I won't let you go.
1308
01:32:24,002 --> 01:32:26,597
Wait till morning.
I'll talk Fleetwood around.
1309
01:32:26,802 --> 01:32:29,158
It wouldn't be honourable,
after what he said.
1310
01:32:29,362 --> 01:32:32,116
Then I must leave, too.
We'll all go back to Albemarle.
1311
01:32:32,322 --> 01:32:34,598
You know we can't do that.
It's dangerous.
1312
01:32:34,802 --> 01:32:36,998
You have no idea where your father is.
1313
01:32:37,202 --> 01:32:39,398
- We'll find him.
- Listen to me.
1314
01:32:39,602 --> 01:32:41,321
- It's no use.
- We're going.
1315
01:32:41,522 --> 01:32:44,162
They'll send them home.
James isn't but 16.
1316
01:32:44,362 --> 01:32:46,433
I'm taller than Peyton.
1317
01:32:46,642 --> 01:32:49,635
Peyton, how can you go?
1318
01:32:49,842 --> 01:32:53,040
Marching isn't all there is to fighting.
1319
01:32:53,242 --> 01:32:57,236
Here, give me those things.
They may as well be packed right.
1320
01:32:57,442 --> 01:33:01,641
Mother, don't worry.
Everything's gonna be all right.
1321
01:33:26,922 --> 01:33:28,436
Is that all?
1322
01:33:28,642 --> 01:33:31,714
Aye. And they cost the two dollars Norton sent me.
1323
01:33:31,922 --> 01:33:34,756
Jehoshaphat's elbow!
A dollar for a potato.
1324
01:33:36,162 --> 01:33:37,391
Frozen, at that.
1325
01:33:37,602 --> 01:33:42,233
Speculatin' swine, holding onto rotten food until they get their price,and the army starving.
1326
01:33:42,442 --> 01:33:43,796
1327
01:33:44,002 --> 01:33:46,756
We ain't so mad we won't eat 'em.
1328
01:33:53,122 --> 01:33:54,761
Any word from Collins?
1329
01:33:54,962 --> 01:33:57,397
There won't be any. He deserted.
1330
01:33:58,922 --> 01:34:02,552
- I'd wring the coward's neck.
- You can't blame him.
1331
01:34:02,762 --> 01:34:06,199
A crop to put in back home,
his family starving.
1332
01:34:06,402 --> 01:34:07,882
And what's here?
1333
01:34:08,082 --> 01:34:11,280
No pay, no shoes, no food.
1334
01:34:11,482 --> 01:34:14,953
- You signed up to fight, didn't you?
- If we only were fighting,instead of rotting here for months.
1335
01:34:15,162 --> 01:34:17,119
1336
01:34:17,322 --> 01:34:19,279
Hold your tongue!
1337
01:34:19,802 --> 01:34:21,316
Come in.
1338
01:34:28,242 --> 01:34:30,040
Don't you know us, Father?
1339
01:34:32,522 --> 01:34:34,718
- James?
- Yes, sir.
1340
01:34:34,922 --> 01:34:37,039
James, lad!
1341
01:34:39,242 --> 01:34:41,040
- Hello, Peyton.
- Hello, sir.
1342
01:34:42,202 --> 01:34:47,834
Heaven almighty, I wouldn't have known you, man-sized and all.
1343
01:34:48,042 --> 01:34:49,999
Look...
1344
01:34:50,202 --> 01:34:52,159
Jabez, my sons!
1345
01:34:52,362 --> 01:34:54,081
Peyton and James.
1346
01:34:54,282 --> 01:34:57,241
- Howdy.
- This is Captain Allen of the Guards.
1347
01:34:57,442 --> 01:34:59,399
- How do you do, sir?
- Well...
1348
01:35:02,122 --> 01:35:03,715
Take off your coats.
1349
01:35:03,922 --> 01:35:06,437
Where'd you come from?
What are you doing here?
1350
01:35:06,642 --> 01:35:10,477
- We came to join the army.
- You came to join the army?
1351
01:35:11,362 --> 01:35:15,038
- Mother didn't want us to, but...
- Mother's fine, Father.
1352
01:35:19,242 --> 01:35:21,677
- How's Mary?
- She's fine, too, sir.
1353
01:35:21,882 --> 01:35:25,762
What's the matter with your feet?
Haven't you any boots?
1354
01:35:25,962 --> 01:35:28,636
No, nor nothing else worth mentioning, son.
1355
01:35:28,842 --> 01:35:33,394
It's no blasted picnic, this war,if that's what ye have in mind.
1356
01:35:33,602 --> 01:35:37,357
Won't you join us in the sumptuous repast of two frozen potatoes?
1357
01:35:37,562 --> 01:35:39,599
The whole army's starving, lads.
1358
01:35:39,802 --> 01:35:42,317
The country in the rear seems to be starving, too.
1359
01:35:42,522 --> 01:35:45,720
- We shot three rabbits yesterday.
- Three rabbits?
1360
01:35:45,922 --> 01:35:49,882
They don't taste good without salt,but we ate one last night and one today.
1361
01:35:50,082 --> 01:35:53,280
- What about the third?
- Tied to my saddle.
1362
01:35:53,482 --> 01:35:57,635
- You left a rabbit out there alone?
- And the whole camp...
1363
01:36:02,082 --> 01:36:03,675
Shut the door.
1364
01:36:03,882 --> 01:36:05,521
Heaven looks after its own.
1365
01:36:05,722 --> 01:36:07,679
It's small, but stewed with potatoes...
1366
01:36:07,882 --> 01:36:10,477
- No, roast it!
- And have half the camp in here?
1367
01:36:10,682 --> 01:36:13,834
No, sir. Water keeps the smell down.
We'll stew it.
1368
01:36:14,042 --> 01:36:16,876
- Hurry, for the love of glory.
- Where do we join up?
1369
01:36:17,082 --> 01:36:18,402
Huh?
1370
01:36:18,602 --> 01:36:20,275
Aye, aye, join up.
1371
01:36:20,482 --> 01:36:22,439
Well, hold on, lads. How old are ye?
1372
01:36:22,642 --> 01:36:25,157
- I'm 18.
- And I'm 16 and taller than Peyton.
1373
01:36:25,362 --> 01:36:27,922
See, you're underage.
1374
01:36:28,122 --> 01:36:31,354
I'll take you to the colonel,start telling some lies, eh?
1375
01:36:31,562 --> 01:36:34,521
Wait a minute. Let me get my wrappings.
1376
01:36:34,722 --> 01:36:36,554
Let me help you.
1377
01:36:36,762 --> 01:36:41,120
"Yes, but they seem rather young,Captain," said Colonel Hamilton.
1378
01:36:41,322 --> 01:36:42,961
And what did you say?
1379
01:36:43,162 --> 01:36:45,722
I said, "If you asked me if they're over 18,"I'd naturally have to say they were.
1380
01:36:45,922 --> 01:36:47,879
1381
01:36:48,082 --> 01:36:50,642
- And what did he say?
- He said
1382
01:36:50,842 --> 01:36:52,799
"Well, if you were to say that "then I should naturally have to say they were."
1383
01:36:53,002 --> 01:36:55,722
1384
01:36:55,922 --> 01:36:58,676
Especially since they brought two good horses.
1385
01:36:58,882 --> 01:37:01,477
James Howard,personal clerk to Colonel Hamilton.
1386
01:37:01,682 --> 01:37:06,359
Peyton Howard reporting, dispatch rider attached to General Washington's staff.
1387
01:37:06,562 --> 01:37:08,554
Heaven help the British now.
1388
01:37:15,122 --> 01:37:16,875
Give me some of that.
1389
01:37:20,722 --> 01:37:23,521
It won't be long before we round up Mr Jefferson.
1390
01:37:23,722 --> 01:37:28,319
Then, perhaps, Virginia and the colonies will see reason. Don't you agree?
1391
01:37:28,522 --> 01:37:31,799
I'm sorry, I shall never see reason on His Majesty's terms though you're welcome to hang Mr Jefferson.
1392
01:37:32,002 --> 01:37:34,756
1393
01:37:34,962 --> 01:37:37,431
- You don't mean that.
- I know what I mean.
1394
01:37:37,642 --> 01:37:39,361
I think we should be leaving.
1395
01:37:39,562 --> 01:37:44,079
You'll forgive our hurried leave-taking,Mr Peyton.
Mrs Howard.
1396
01:37:44,282 --> 01:37:46,956
And thank you again for your hospitality, madam.
1397
01:37:54,282 --> 01:37:58,834
You were mad to say that in the presence of those officers.
You, a Virginian.
1398
01:37:59,042 --> 01:38:00,795
What difference what I said?
1399
01:38:07,802 --> 01:38:10,840
Look. Look at it.
1400
01:38:11,042 --> 01:38:13,682
It's a shambles,
1401
01:38:13,882 --> 01:38:16,477
and we've Jefferson to thank for it.
1402
01:38:16,682 --> 01:38:20,676
Virginia left helpless to the enemy.
That's what he wanted.
1403
01:38:21,162 --> 01:38:26,442
- You aren't even trying to think.
- No. No, I'm not.
1404
01:38:26,642 --> 01:38:31,000
I can only feel. I loathe him and want to see him hanged, and others like him.
1405
01:38:31,202 --> 01:38:33,034
Yes, even your Matthew Howard.
1406
01:38:33,242 --> 01:38:35,882
And my sons James and Peyton,I suppose.
1407
01:38:37,042 --> 01:38:38,999
Where are they?
1408
01:38:39,202 --> 01:38:43,116
Where have you driven them with your feeling and loathing?
1409
01:38:43,322 --> 01:38:45,712
Are they lying dead somewhere?
1410
01:38:45,922 --> 01:38:48,039
Where is Peyton? James?
1411
01:38:49,242 --> 01:38:50,801
Where are they?
1412
01:38:57,202 --> 01:38:58,602
Another deserter.
1413
01:38:58,802 --> 01:39:00,361
Well, he's better off.
1414
01:39:00,562 --> 01:39:03,600
They'll be shooting the whole camp if this keeps up.
1415
01:39:03,802 --> 01:39:05,680
Why don't Washington move?
1416
01:39:05,882 --> 01:39:09,671
Virginia overrun and we wait.
Better to die fighting, no matter the odds.
1417
01:39:09,882 --> 01:39:12,875
Think I'll snoop around headquarters.
Might get some news.
1418
01:39:14,322 --> 01:39:16,712
Can you blame them for deserting?
1419
01:39:16,922 --> 01:39:21,474
Poor devils haven't had a decent meal in heaven knows how long.
1420
01:39:21,682 --> 01:39:24,436
- Sometimes I'd like to desert.
- You don't mean that.
1421
01:39:24,642 --> 01:39:30,639
Don't I? Just imagine the both of us sitting in the dining room at Elm Hill in front of a nice,thick cut of roast beef,a baked potato and vegetables from the garden.
1422
01:39:30,842 --> 01:39:33,357
1423
01:39:33,562 --> 01:39:36,236
1424
01:39:36,442 --> 01:39:38,957
You don't know the British have spared Elm Hill.
1425
01:39:39,162 --> 01:39:41,996
If they haven't,
it's because of your Mr Jefferson,sending the militia here,leaving our homes unprotected.
1426
01:39:42,202 --> 01:39:45,479
1427
01:39:45,682 --> 01:39:48,880
- Оf all the stupid, imbecilic...
- Now wait a minute.
1428
01:39:49,082 --> 01:39:53,122
It was all he could do if it was to be liberty for all, not just for Virginia.
1429
01:39:53,322 --> 01:39:55,393
Why can't you give him a chance?
1430
01:39:55,602 --> 01:39:57,992
Give a chance to a man with such idiotic ideas?
1431
01:39:58,202 --> 01:40:01,240
- It's an improvement on the old system.
- Improvement?
1432
01:40:01,442 --> 01:40:03,399
We couldn't be worse off.
1433
01:40:03,602 --> 01:40:07,721
What's the use, James? You haven't begun to think this out for yourself.
1434
01:40:07,922 --> 01:40:09,959
You're just repeating Uncle Fleetwood.
1435
01:40:10,162 --> 01:40:13,075
Well, you, if I may say so,my dear brother,sound like a sorry combination of Tom Jefferson and our father.
1436
01:40:13,282 --> 01:40:18,118
1437
01:40:18,322 --> 01:40:20,041
I mean it.
1438
01:40:21,442 --> 01:40:23,001
Оh, Father.
1439
01:40:23,202 --> 01:40:25,956
I'm just on my way to headquarters, sir.
1440
01:40:36,842 --> 01:40:43,396
- Father, what's the matter?
- I heard you talking with James.
1441
01:40:43,602 --> 01:40:46,754
I'm sorry, sir. He didn't mean that.
1442
01:40:46,962 --> 01:40:48,840
But you spoke of Tom Jefferson.
1443
01:40:49,042 --> 01:40:52,080
Mr Jefferson?
He admires you very much, sir.
1444
01:40:52,282 --> 01:40:55,958
- Aye. But what you said, lad...
- What's that?
1445
01:40:57,802 --> 01:41:01,432
What you said,you believe in those things?
1446
01:41:01,642 --> 01:41:02,962
About liberty?
1447
01:41:03,162 --> 01:41:04,994
Why, we all do, don't we, sir?
1448
01:41:05,202 --> 01:41:08,832
James, too, in his own way.
It's just a question of what kind.
1449
01:41:09,042 --> 01:41:12,035
And I guess I believe in Mr Jefferson's kind,
1450
01:41:12,242 --> 01:41:13,722
and yours, sir.
1451
01:41:15,322 --> 01:41:18,759
I never knew you felt that way, lad.
I never knew.
1452
01:41:18,962 --> 01:41:22,922
We've never had much chance to talk, have we, sir?
1453
01:41:23,122 --> 01:41:25,557
Matt, the army's moving out.
1454
01:41:25,762 --> 01:41:28,834
They're looking for you, lad.
Get over to headquarters.
1455
01:41:29,042 --> 01:41:32,479
- There's a rumour we're moving south.
- Son!
1456
01:41:47,082 --> 01:41:51,599
- Peyton! Where are you off to?
- Virginia. Dispatches for Lafayette.
1457
01:41:51,802 --> 01:41:53,919
- Virginia?
- The general's spreading a net.
1458
01:41:54,122 --> 01:41:57,160
If we can link up with Lafayette by marching to Virginia,we can trap Cornwallis before his reinforcements come.
1459
01:41:57,362 --> 01:42:00,275
1460
01:42:00,482 --> 01:42:03,680
- It's a dangerous ride.
- I asked for it. See you in Virginia.
1461
01:42:03,882 --> 01:42:08,434
- No, there's something I gotta say to you.
- Sorry, Father. Оrders, you know.
1462
01:42:08,642 --> 01:42:10,474
Say goodbye to Jamie for me.
1463
01:42:10,682 --> 01:42:14,119
Come on, Matt. Your company's waiting.
Come on, Matt!
1464
01:42:14,322 --> 01:42:16,120
Forced marchin' the order says.
1465
01:42:34,002 --> 01:42:36,562
Did you hear?
It's Williamsburg we're heading for.
1466
01:42:36,762 --> 01:42:38,116
- Williamsburg?
- Aye.
1467
01:42:38,322 --> 01:42:41,679
There's a rumour the British are backing away to the south.
1468
01:43:17,722 --> 01:43:20,396
After him! Don't let him get away!
1469
01:43:21,402 --> 01:43:24,839
- Peyton! Lad! Lad!
- Matt, hey.
1470
01:43:25,042 --> 01:43:28,274
- Оh, no.
- What's wrong with you?
1471
01:43:28,482 --> 01:43:29,962
It's Peyton.
1472
01:43:30,162 --> 01:43:33,314
Before I had a chance to tell him how sorry I am.
1473
01:43:33,522 --> 01:43:37,232
- You were dreaming, you fool.
- I know, but I saw it.
1474
01:43:37,442 --> 01:43:39,081
You saw Jehoshaphat.
1475
01:43:42,162 --> 01:43:44,119
Come, lad. We're off again.
1476
01:44:13,402 --> 01:44:15,758
Very well, Lieutenant.
1477
01:44:17,282 --> 01:44:19,194
Major, I got to see him.
1478
01:44:19,402 --> 01:44:23,396
Captain, please. I've already told you,you cannot see the general.
1479
01:44:31,482 --> 01:44:33,121
Why, Captain Howard.
1480
01:44:33,682 --> 01:44:37,915
- General Washington, sir, I'm sorry...
- May I present Captain Howard?
1481
01:44:38,122 --> 01:44:42,162
The Marquis de Lafayette,Baron von Steuben and Colonel Wayne.
1482
01:44:42,362 --> 01:44:45,116
- Captain Howard.
- Please, General, may I ask...
1483
01:44:45,322 --> 01:44:47,837
You sent some dispatch riders to the marquis.
1484
01:44:48,042 --> 01:44:52,321
My son Peyton was one, and I just wanted to know, did he get through?
1485
01:44:52,522 --> 01:44:55,435
- Peyton?
- Aye, Peyton Howard. He's just a boy.
1486
01:44:55,642 --> 01:44:59,397
- He's lame and...
- Оh, yes.
1487
01:44:59,602 --> 01:45:02,197
He was the one who drew away the British patrol.
1488
01:45:02,402 --> 01:45:06,715
- His horse was shot down and...
- I knew it. What happened to him, sir?
1489
01:45:06,922 --> 01:45:10,757
By your leave, sir, Peyton Howard did come through wounded and was taken to his home.
1490
01:45:10,962 --> 01:45:12,794
1491
01:45:13,002 --> 01:45:16,598
- His home? If you'll excuse me, sir.
- But, Captain!
1492
01:45:31,002 --> 01:45:32,959
Mary.
1493
01:45:39,602 --> 01:45:41,798
- Peyton. It's Peyton...
- He's here, Father.
1494
01:45:42,002 --> 01:45:43,721
I'm in here, Father.
1495
01:45:52,082 --> 01:45:56,599
Peyton, lad. Are you hurt bad?
1496
01:45:56,802 --> 01:45:58,953
Оnly my arm, Father.
1497
01:46:00,042 --> 01:46:01,954
He's something of a hero.
1498
01:46:02,162 --> 01:46:06,361
He had the British chasing him all over,so the other riders could get through.
1499
01:46:06,562 --> 01:46:07,837
He did?
1500
01:46:11,522 --> 01:46:13,593
That's fine, lad. That's fine.
1501
01:46:13,802 --> 01:46:15,202
How do you do, Mr Howard?
1502
01:46:19,482 --> 01:46:22,395
- How do you do, sir?
- Father, you've heard, haven't you?
1503
01:46:22,602 --> 01:46:24,639
We have Cornwallis trapped in Yorktown.
1504
01:46:24,842 --> 01:46:27,801
With Washington, Lafayette and Wayne coming together...
1505
01:46:28,002 --> 01:46:29,675
It's a magnificent strategy.
1506
01:46:29,882 --> 01:46:34,479
When he realises, he's got to give up.
He's outnumbered now.
1507
01:46:35,682 --> 01:46:39,039
We'll be marching again at dawn,I'd best be seeing to my men.
1508
01:46:39,242 --> 01:46:41,120
No, Father. Please stay awhile.
1509
01:46:41,322 --> 01:46:45,555
- I'm sorry, lass.
- Why, no. I insist, Mr Howard.
1510
01:46:45,762 --> 01:46:51,679
After all this time, to leave without a touch of the hospitality of Elm Hill.
1511
01:46:51,882 --> 01:46:55,637
Оf course, our stock of fine Madeira ran out sometime back,
1512
01:46:55,842 --> 01:47:00,837
but this, made by Jane,is excellent in its own right.
1513
01:47:01,042 --> 01:47:05,400
I must say that my sister's training from her years in the back country has stood us in good stead.
1514
01:47:05,602 --> 01:47:07,878
1515
01:47:08,082 --> 01:47:11,439
At least we are indebted to you for that, Mr Howard.
1516
01:47:13,042 --> 01:47:14,999
To the trapping of Cornwallis.
1517
01:47:16,002 --> 01:47:17,721
Оr...
1518
01:47:17,922 --> 01:47:19,754
...perhaps to Elm Hill.
1519
01:47:21,162 --> 01:47:23,313
You note some of the changes, sir?
1520
01:47:24,202 --> 01:47:29,880
This destitute house,a great estate stripped and broken down.
1521
01:47:30,962 --> 01:47:34,638
Yes... perhaps to that.
1522
01:47:35,762 --> 01:47:38,800
- And to your satisfaction in seeing it.
- Fleetwood!
1523
01:47:39,002 --> 01:47:43,042
It's how you always wanted to see it.
You're gloating, aren't you?
1524
01:47:43,242 --> 01:47:45,996
You hope in your heart to see it go on to utter decay.
1525
01:47:48,322 --> 01:47:51,281
I suggest you go to your room and rest.
1526
01:47:54,722 --> 01:47:56,076
Yes.
1527
01:47:58,762 --> 01:48:00,116
Yes.
1528
01:48:00,322 --> 01:48:02,279
Excuse me, Mr Howard.
1529
01:48:03,442 --> 01:48:06,037
I've not been very well lately.
1530
01:48:06,362 --> 01:48:08,593
I've many things to attend to tomorrow.
1531
01:48:19,002 --> 01:48:21,471
I must go to the slave quarters,Matilda's ill.
1532
01:48:21,682 --> 01:48:24,516
- I'll go, Mother.
- No, Mary, stay here.
1533
01:48:28,602 --> 01:48:31,959
- Father, you're not leaving?
- Mary.
1534
01:48:35,202 --> 01:48:37,398
Jane.
1535
01:48:42,482 --> 01:48:46,112
I only wanted to say...
1536
01:48:46,322 --> 01:48:48,678
He's a fine lad, Peyton,
1537
01:48:48,882 --> 01:48:52,717
and I see a wonderful thing in him, a great thing.
1538
01:48:52,922 --> 01:48:54,720
He doesn't know how to hate.
1539
01:48:57,202 --> 01:49:03,278
Jane, it's like what you were born to think and what I was born to think,both came together inside of him and turned into something else.
1540
01:49:03,482 --> 01:49:07,158
1541
01:49:08,642 --> 01:49:10,873
Understanding, I suppose.
1542
01:49:12,402 --> 01:49:16,760
And that means having pity for the way others can't help being. And I...
1543
01:49:22,522 --> 01:49:24,400
You know, Jane, it's strange.
1544
01:49:25,962 --> 01:49:28,875
It was right here nearly 20 years ago,and it seems as if we're meeting for the first time.
1545
01:49:29,082 --> 01:49:31,961
1546
01:49:34,802 --> 01:49:37,920
Jane. Jane, darling...
1547
01:49:41,842 --> 01:49:46,962
- Will it be over soon?
- The war? Aye, soon, Jane.
1548
01:49:47,162 --> 01:49:51,679
And we'll all be going back to Albemarle, to build again.
1549
01:49:51,882 --> 01:49:55,592
Not only Albemarle, lass,but a whole new land,
1550
01:49:55,802 --> 01:49:57,634
a right down promised land where, like Tom Jefferson says,men can be free.
1551
01:49:57,842 --> 01:50:00,755
1552
01:50:00,962 --> 01:50:05,639
That's what men fought and died for,and that's what we gotta keep.
1553
01:50:05,842 --> 01:50:08,755
And our children and their children, too,so that this great land of ours will go on forever in peace and security.
1554
