It doesn't seem to matter now.

All those weapons destroyed.

Oh, good Lord. How we
could've used those guns.

Forgive me.
I haven't been sleeping well lately.

I understand.

Sherman is exacting a terrible price
from South Carolina...

...for leading the way into Secession.

You must be worried
about your family there.

Yes, there's been no communication
with Charleston...

...since the rail lines
were cut, and that was weeks ago.

We have one small chance, Orry.

Lee is facing almost double
his number of troops.

Johnston has an even worse
situation in North Carolina.

Yes, I know. But if Lee can slip away
from Grant's army...

...and join up with Johnston
over the Carolina border...

...both armies combined
might be able to defeat Sherman.

Then it could head north and meet Grant
on something like equal terms.

That'll take a lot of luck, sir.
And all the skill Lee can muster.

It's an outside chance at best, I know,
but the only one we have.

Lee is set on trying it as soon as the
roads are dry enough for him to move.

He's gonna need every good man
that we've got left.

Yes, sir.

May you serve him as well as you've
served me and this government.

Goodbye, Mr. President.

God go with you, Orry.

Come in, general.

I assume you read my final report.

It's only final when you find my wife.

Sir, you have received
a dozen detailed reports.

Your wife has simply disappeared.

You have to keep trying.
You missed something.

Sir, I can't make a career
out of one case. I have other clients.

I don't give a damn about your other
clients. I just want you to find my wife.

General, I know how you feel,
especially with the war and all.

I'm sorry.

I just can't give up.

Please.

I'll do what I can.

Hold up.

Can I help you, ma'am?

- I've come to see General Sherman.
- I'm sorry, ma'am...

Ma'am!

Attention.

I'm General Cates,
General Sherman's chief of staff.

- Something I can help you with?
- I must speak to the general personally.

That's impossible. The general sees
no one without an appointment.

- His appointments are made through me.
- I'd like you to make one for me, now.

General Sherman is the commanding
officer of the entire army, madam.

- Exactly. That is why I must see him.
- Even if you were a relative, madam...

Cates!

Let her pass.

I'll be damned.

Bill Sherman, ma'am. At your service.

Madeline Main, general.

I wonder if I might have a moment
of private conversation with you.

Of course.

Gentlemen, as you were.

I traveled a long way
to see you, general.

You showed good spirit back there.

I had to.

I understand...

...the city of Charleston was spared...
because of its beauty?

We didn't spare Charleston
because of its beauty.

- We needed it for military use.
- What of its people, general?

Do you find them beautiful also?
The victims of war?

The innocent who have suffered?

I have come here...

...to ask for help for those people.

- What would you have me do?
- Thousands of refugees...

...have fled to Charleston.

The poor, the weak...

...the orphaned.

Those who've had no choice in the war.

Those who have perhaps
suffered the most.

I had no choice either.

I've tried very hard
to understand that, sir.

I run a camp...

...for refugees. Mainly mothers and their
children who have nowhere else to go.

Your armies have won a victory.

Can you find it in your heart...

...to help the conquered?

What kind of help, madam?

Where is this place?
How many are there?

It's on the outskirts of Charleston.

There are hundreds, I'm afraid,
and more every day.

What we need most is food.

I'll ask Cates to take you
to the quartermaster.

You shall have provisions from us
for your camp.

I knew if I spoke to you...

You are a woman of great courage.

And courage nearly always wins.

So you been sniffing
around my wood, Mr. Jones?

Cuffey.

Lord, am I glad to see you.

Yes, sir. It's your Cuffey all right.

The nigger boy you used to cuss
and beat and work half to death.

I'm boss now!

No! Please, don't!

Respect, Mr. Jones.

Respect for the boss of these woods.

When all the white owners
lickety-split north...

...and Sherman's Yankees
come through here...

...like the biggest firestorm
you ever did see...

...we're gonna be boss
of this whole river.

What's left of these here plantations...

...is gonna be mine.

Take a bite, Mr. Jones.

Or are you still too high and mighty...

...to eat with a black donkey?

No.

- No!
- Bite it now.

Wouldn't want you complaining
about my hospitality.

Heard you joined the Yankees.

- How come...?
- They ain't no different.

At Hilton Head they called me
"Private Cuffey."

And still put a shovel in my hand.

When war's over, you'll have to
deal with the same white men.

You gonna need somebody
who knows laws and squatters' rights.

How to run a plantation.

I got me a bunch of boys.

Swamp rats know how to slit
a throat better than your meanest buck.

We're the same kind now, my friend.

We need each other. Right?

Untie him.

Let's talk, Salem.

- Here you are, sir.
- Thank you, David.

Excuse me, sir.

- May I help you, sir?
- I'd like to see Congressman Greene.

The congressman is busy.

- Who is it, David?
- It's a gentleman to see you, sir.

Yes, sir. I'm officer Hughes.

If I could have a few moments
of your time...

...in private. It's important.

- David.
- Yes, sir.

Take your hat, sir?

That'll be all, David.

- Please.
- Thank you.

I understand that you know a woman
named Virgilia Hazard Grady.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do.

Some years ago I helped her secure a
position with Miss Dix's Nursing Corps.

Please sit. I was deeply distressed to
hear a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Have you had any contacts with her?

Not for some time.

Sir, it's important
that we talk with Mrs. Grady.

Perhaps you could help me find her.

- That's exactly what I told him.
- I think that was right.

Here we are.

Hello.

Good evening, Mr. Collins. So nice
of you to join us. Please come in.

Thank you.

- Good evening.
- A pleasure to see you.

We haven't met.
Congressman Sam Greene.

I believe you know the junior senator.

- My dear.
- Please excuse me.

I haven't had a chance
to speak to Sam all evening.

The fair sex. A man can never
leave them alone for too long.

Would you excuse us, please. Yes?

Sam, the police are everywhere.

They're asking questions about a woman
with my description.

- What if my landlady...?
- Your landlady won't say anything.

I paid her very good money
for this house and for her silence.

But you said you'd take care
of Mrs. Neal.

And you'd get
the murder charge dropped.

That was months ago.

- I'm doing all that can be done.
- I'm not complaining, Sam.

I just thought that a man as important
as you would be able to do it sooner.

After all, I am innocent. I had
nothing to do with that man dying.

I told you.

These things take time.

Sam.

Do you want to go into the study?

I thought about this all day...

...about being alone with you.

Tell me more, Virgilia.

What else have you
thought about all day?

About what a wonderful lover you are.

Am I...?

Am I as good as Grady?

There's no one like you, Sam.

No one.

Company...

...halt!

Corporal, take your men around back
to the outbuilding.

Sergeant, post the torches.

First squad, forward.

- What do you want here?
- Major Fisk, ma'am.

Kilpatrick's Cavalry Corps.

I wish we could spare your house, but...

...we can't.

Have everybody clear out, please.

Please, sir.

My husband is an officer in your army.

This is his house too.
You can't burn it.

This war is hard
on everybody, ma'am. L...

There are only women here.
We didn't start this war.

We're just trying to survive it.

That's all any of us
are trying to do, ma'am.

I'm sorry, but all of this has got to go.

- We're not leaving.
- You heard my daughter, major.

- Mother!
- We're not leaving.

Sergeant...

...carry them off the veranda.

You'll have to burn this house
down around me.

No!

Sergeant, I think this house
is close enough to Charleston...

...that it would make an excellent
headquarters for our senior staff.

Move the men out.

Good night, ladies.

Both sides read the same Bible...

...and pray to the same God.

And each invokes his aid
against the other.

The prayers of both cannot be answered.

The Almighty has his own purposes.

Seventeen states have ratified
the amendment abolishing slavery.

Yesterday I heard that
the Confederate Congress in Richmond...

...voted entire regiments of slaves
into their army.

Well, the issue is all but finished now.

We began this war to end it, and now...

...we cannot seem to end the war.

Honor detail, color guard, present arms.

Shoulder arms.

Left wing, march.

- For the general's staff, sir.
- Thank you, lieutenant.

Sheridan's cleaned out the last pockets
of resistance in the Shenandoah Valley.

He's got 12,000 cavalry here,
near Dinwiddie Court House.

If he can make it to this junction, Five
Forks, he'll be well beyond Lee's lines.

He'll need help.

I promised Sheridan an infantry corps.
More if he needs.

Mr. President, I want Phil
to take and hold Five Forks.

He'll cut Lee's only railway south.

I can get my troops
between Lee and Johnston.

If we can break through Lee's line
here at Petersburg...

...we can force the city's evacuation.

- And then Richmond.
- The Confederacy would capitulate.

I believe...

...we must give some thought
to what happens then.

- You mean our terms for peace?
- Yes.

We can't dictate harsh terms.

Both sides share the blame for this war,
as both have shared its terrible cost.

Now both must share in the victory.

You mean, let them off easy?

Yes, that's the way we put it
when I was a boy.

Sir, are you saying we should just
dismiss the Confederate armies?

I'd like to see all these men back to work
on their farms and in their shops.

I want civil governments re-established
in the Secessionist states quickly.

Will you deal with
the state governments as they exist?

If we have to, yes.

Until Congress can organize elections...

...or establish some other
permanent arrangement.

I'm afraid you won't be very popular
in some quarters, Mr. President.

I've never been very popular
in some quarters, Sam.

Some people want the South to bleed
for what's it's done, sir.

The South has bled enough, general.

So have we.

Billy, they'll fire the signal to advance
from Fort Fisher.

- How will we hear it in all this?
- Damned if I know.

Company, fall in!

Move, move. Let's go.

What are your orders, general?

Sir?

General, what are your orders?

The troops are ready.

It's time, sir.

George!

Fire!

Sound the advance.

Shoulder arms!

Right face!

Forward march!

Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death...

Battalion...

...shoulder...

...arms!

Forward march!

Close the lines!

Forward march!

Fire!

Company, charge!

- Charge!
- Charge!

Here they come!

Return fire!

Tom?

Tom!

Tom!

Stretcher-bearer!

Stretcher-bearer!

Stretcher-bearer!

Come on, men, over the hill!

Orry, they've got the guns!

Get to Wilcox.
We've got to get out!

Get your men out of here!

Doctor said you're gonna make it, Tom.

It's gonna take longer
than you might have figured.

I'm gonna stay with you
a couple of days.

Then I'll come back for you
when you can travel.

I know Brett's looking forward
to meeting you.

So you hurry up and get well.

You just remember...

...you're my friend...

...and I love you.

I knew you'd be concerned
about your brother.

- Field sergeant says he'll be all right.
- Thank you.

I couldn't find anything in the
casualty reports about General Main.

A few of their officers were killed,
among them a Lee favorite, A.P. Hill.

But not all the Confederate dead
and wounded have been identified.

I appreciate anything you
can do to help.

- George, I want you in on this.
- Yes, sir.

Gentlemen,
I realize our army's exhausted...

...but Lee's men must be
even more so.

We cannot let them escape
to North Carolina.

If he and Johnston get their men to the
hill, they can go on fighting for years.

That would finally destroy
our nation.

Sir, you give me
Generals Hazard, Ord and Griffin...

...we'll ride without food or sleep
to put an end to it.

Phil, I don't want a series
of bloody attacks on his rear.

Don't just chase him...

...get on his flank so he can't turn
south, then head him off.

If we get in his front,
we'll bag the entire army.

When Mr. Lincoln heard
about our recent victories...

...he asked if his four-year nightmare
was finally over.

Let's make sure it ends at Lynchburg.

Keep it straight! Keep it straight!
Keep those lines straight!

Hold your fire.

- No truce flag!
- We don't want no truce flag!

No! No!

Dear God, it's over.

It's really over.

I believe neither of us wanted...

... or expected such a terrible conflict.

Both sides read the same Bible...

... pray to the same God...

... and each has invoked
his aid against the other.

But the Almighty
has his own purposes.

And if he now wills the removal
of a great wrong that is slavery...

... and wills also that we of the North
as you of the South should pay fairly...

... for our complicity in that wrong...

... impartial history will find therein...

... new cause to attest and revere...

... the justice and goodness of God.

There he is! There's Grant!

Sergeant Tucker,
bring those horses around.

Mother!

Mother! It's true!

They stopped fighting!
The war's over! Can you believe it?

Orry will be home.

And Billy too.
You must believe that, dear.

I do, Mama. I have to.

Augusta!

Washington!

Augusta!

Hey, fella.

Augusta!

Augusta!

Washington!

Hello?

Washington?

Where's Augusta?

The house wouldn't be like this
if she were here.

That's right, sir.

If Miss Augusta see it this way,
she'd be in a state.

She left, didn't she?

Just like I asked her to. She went
to see her people in Charleston.

No, sir.

She ain't in Charleston.

Miss Augusta's dead.

She died when the baby come.

The baby?

I made it myself when Boz was born.

Miss Augusta's baby come early.

Not supposed to get born
for another month.

There ain't no more
doctors around here...

...so I fetched Mama Sarah,
the midwife.

She couldn't save Miss Augusta.

I buried her like she wanted to.

What about the baby?

Miss Augusta's uncle and his missus
knew about the baby.

And after she was gone...

...he come up from Charleston
and took the boy away.

That boy...

...he's my son.
- Yes, sir.

Why didn't she tell me, Washington?

She had to have known
the last time I was here.

She didn't want to worry you none.

Didn't want to worry me.

Oh, my God.

She wanted me to tell you, sir.

She knew you loved her...

...and she loved you very much.

Can I help you, major?

I'm Charles Main.

I somehow knew
you'd find your way here.

I know this must be very difficult
for you, Mrs. Barclay...

...but I've come to take my son home.

He has your strength.

Take care of him, sir.

He's a fine boy.

I'll never let him forget his mother.

Or you.

Thank you for all you've done.

Brett.

Thank God cousin Charles came home.

It's really lifted Mama's spirits.

It's Billy!

It's Billy!

Mama! It's Billy, Mama! It's Billy!

Billy!

Billy!

Ezra?

- What are you doing?
- Fixing to leave.

War over.

I free.

There ain't nothing left
here for me now.

It's time I find that new life.

Not without me.

The day Orry was born
your father gave me this letter.

I kept it in my Bible all these years.

In it, he tried to say
what he had a hard time saying.

That he loved me and his new son...

...and would love and cherish
all our children.

Then he talked about this land
and what it meant to him.

There's just this one little part
I want to read to you.

"Mont Royal isn't just bricks,
and mortar, and polished wood.

The people who live here
give it its real character.

I've made mistakes in my life...

...done things I'm sorry for...

...but I've tried to live by a tradition
of family unity, service to others...

...honor and fair dealing.

And it is my prayer that our children
and their children...

...and generations to come
will carry on that tradition."

There are two others here who've
become so much a part of Mont Royal.

And they've decided
to join their lives...

...just as Tilley
and I did so many years ago.

Ezra, Semiramis...

...we all want you to have
that corner section by the river...

...to start a new life together.

I still haven't seen anything
in the papers.

When will you get
the murder charges dropped?

I am sick of you
harping on that, Virgilia.

Like I'm sick of servicing you?

Oh, my God!

I didn't mean that, Sam.

I didn't.

Believe me, Sam,
you're the only friend I've got.

Please forgive me, Sam.

Please?

I forgive you.

Will I see you tomorrow, Sam?

Are you asking when
I'll be back with money?

You know I'm not asking that.

I enjoy being with you, Sam.

Virgilia, the fact is...

...I won't be back tomorrow
or any other day.

You can't mean that.

The party feels I will be the most
effective candidate for the Senate.

That means that knowing you...

...is something of a risk.

Someday...

...somebody's gonna find out
about us.

But you care about me, Sam.

I mean something to you, don't I?

Do you really think
I'd risk being ruined politically?

No. My dear, you were a challenge.

Like many of life's challenges,
once it's met, one moves on.

Sam, is this because
of what I said earlier?

No.

I made up my mind
long before tonight.

I let you use me
like one of your whores!

There's no need to be crude, Virgilia.

There is a brighter side.

Yes, I'll be free,
but, then again, so will you.

What do you mean?

You need no longer worry about
the murder indictment against you.

A policeman told me,
some time ago...

...that a witness had come forward,
a stretcher-bearer.

And he absolved you from responsibility
for that officer's death.

So the only thing you have to worry
about is the assault charge...

...against you by Mrs. Neal. That should
be a minor inconvenience at best.

You knew all this and you just let me
go on believing my life was in danger?

Just collecting on past favors,
my dear.

You don't have to worry about
moving immediately.

The rent's paid
till the end of the month.

Excuse me.

Virgilia...

...take care.

- Goodbye, my dear.
- Goodbye?

No, not like this, Sam.

You're not leaving.

Virgilia, you're upset.

And you don't know
what you're doing.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Poor, poor Sam.

I did everything I can, Virgilia.

I'm sorry, there's no chance
for a reprieve.

It's just as well. I told them I wanted it
over with as quickly as possible.

Do you believe in fate, George?

If Grady lived,
tomorrow would be our anniversary.

And it's the day I hang.

It's ironic, don't you think?

I know Mother
really wanted to see you.

No, I'm glad you agreed with me.

I think that it
would've been too much for her.

I can't believe I lost everything.

I lost my pride, George.

I sold it.

This is my wedding ring.

I was thinking that maybe
you could give it to Hope someday.

You could tell her
it's from her crazy aunt.

She'll be proud to wear it.

When we were little...

...I remember a boy who made fun
of an answer you gave in class.

And without mussing a hair, you
knocked him down on the playground...

...and made him admit
that you were right.

I admired you then.

For having the courage
of your convictions.

And I still do.

I wish we could
always have been close.

I love you.

Mother will need us now
more than ever.

I know.

Thank you for coming. I'm sure
you've been a comfort to my mother.

And she is much comfort to me.

Your mother is a very
strong woman, General Hazard.

I'm sure she's just going to be fine.

Thank you.

- I'll see you out.
- Thank you.

Good day to you.

She's at peace now.

No matter what she did,
I loved her. I always loved her.

I know, Mother.

So did I.

I'm so sorry for all that you've
had to go through, Mother.

What's important is that
I have the two of you.

And that one day
we will be a family again.

Was it all a terrible waste...

...a needless violence
that tore our country apart?

It was a price
that had to be paid.

I'm afraid it'll be harder
to silence the hatred and blame...

...than it was to win the war.

The South has lost so much.

So many lives to rebuild.

The Mains will
need us very much.

I pray that Orry is alive.

He's the best friend
I've ever had, Constance.

I've got to find out
what happened to him.

Or the war will never be over for me.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

I know how busy you are. I realize
the location of a particular body...

...is not a priority for you.

We were flooded with dead and
wounded after Petersburg.

Some of them were never identified.

Surely somebody noted General
Main's rank or description.

I understand he was your best friend.

We were together at West Point.

- You've been looking through records.
- I've been through effects of the dead...

...but I find no identification
of his body...

...nor record of his burial.
- He may have been taken...

...to a field hospital and died there.

Or the records
might've been misplaced.

How can I find out?

All I can do is authorize you
to visit the hospitals...

...and be given their cooperation.

I would very much
appreciate that.

- I'll tell my aide to draft a letter.
- Thank you.

- Know anything of a General Main?
- No.

Good luck to you.

At ease. Know anything of a
Confederate General Main?

The last time we spoke, I told you
to take care of yourself.

You obviously weren't listening to me.

Nobody was listening in those days.

I was worried about you.

I didn't know if you'd made it.

You either.

Charles?

Heard he's fine.

I don't remember anything.
They said I was unconscious for days.

What about Billy?

Oh, he's probably halfway
to Mont Royal by now.

Help me get out of here, George.

This rank ought to
be good for something.

I've gotta find Madeline.

I'll bet she's
home waiting for you.

You don't understand.

- I haven't seen her in almost two years.
- What?

She just disappeared.

I've hired detectives.

I've been able to find out
that she sold her father's house...

...through some Charleston lawyer.
- I'm sorry, Orry, l...

Sergeant, what's all the commotion?

We've just received word.
President Lincoln's been shot.

He's not expected to live.

God help us.

Oh, please God.

George.

I could really use
your help right now.

One, one, one, two, one.

Sir, I know that my wife
sold her house through you.

You have to know where she is.

I'd like to help you,
but I've never in my entire life...

...violated my word to anyone.

Madeline and I love each other,
Mr. Colbert.

Hasn't this war caused enough pain?

Please, sir.

I could tell how much
your wife cared for you...

...and that troubled me
all the time I was holding my silence.

There has been enough pain.

Then you can tell me where she is?

I can no longer keep two people apart
who should be together.

Thank you, sir.

You look so like
your father sometimes.

You do.

You really are here.

I was afraid you wouldn't be.

You must hate me
for leaving you the way I did.

I know why. Ashton told me.

Then you know why I had to leave.

- She said terrible things would happen.
- Maybe that was true once...

...but you don't
have to be afraid anymore.

No one will ever hurt us again.

You mean...

...you'd take me back?

You'd still want me?

I never wanted you to go.

I love you and I always will.

I love you too.
Please believe me.

I love you too.

I do.

But I have to tell you.

There's another man in my life now.

Orry Nicholas Main.

Your son.

I love you.

Ezra, that's a big section
of land you got there.

I reckon you're gonna need
a family to help you work it.

We've been thinking about that.

Well, you gotta do more than thinking.

Now. Burn it.

I'll get the guns.

You stay here.
I'm gonna get Billy's shotgun.

- I'll cover the front.
- I'll take the other side.

No.

Cuffey!

Semiramis, get the hell out.

The fire's out of control.

Mont Royal.

Stay here with Madeline
and the baby. George.

I gotta go for help.

If I can make it across the river
to the Harpers'...

...I can get some men
and attack them from the back.

- No, Ezra.
- I got to. They're gonna overrun us.

Take this rifle.
You protect yourself.

Ezra.

Ezra!

Come on get up, get up.
No!

No.

Billy!

Mama?

Mama?

- Where are the others?
- Billy and Brett are out back.

Mama?

I'll get her.

I'll get you out of here, Mama.
Hold on.

Hold on.

Let's get out of here.

Hold on, Mama.

Please, Mama.

Hold on, Mama.

Mama?

We can't save it, Mama.

We can't save it, Mama.

Mama? Mama?

Mama?

Madeline had a baby, Mama.

You're a grandmother, Ma.

Mama.
Oh, please don't die.

No!

And he said unto her:

"I am the resurrection and the life.

He that believeth in me,
though he were dead...

...yet shall he live.

And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me...

...shall never die."

My mother lived to see her way of life
disappear from the face of this earth.

Yet she blamed no one...

...and she hated no one for it.

Clarissa Main...

...was a loving
and compassionate woman.

I think she would have agreed
with Mr. Lincoln.

"With malice toward none...

...and charity for all, let us strive
to bind up the nation's wounds.

To care for him...

...who has borne the battle,
and for his widow and orphan.

To do all which
may achieve and cherish...

...a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and all nations."

I'm glad my father
didn't live to see this.

I got married here, George.

It was the happiest day of my life.

We can't fool ourselves by thinking
it'll be easy to rebuild this country.

It won't be.

We've all suffered too much.

But in a way, our families
have been blessed.

And our friendship's endured.

Maybe it's up to us, in our own way...

...to start healing
the wounds of this nation.

I...

I want to reinvest in our textile mill.

I want you to use the profits...

...to rebuild Mont Royal.

You're the best friend
a man could ever have, George.

We're family, Orry.
You remember that.
