I love Virginia more.
168
00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:53,366
Private Jenkins, because of the high
regard with which I hold your father...
169
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:58,736
...you are free to do as you please. You may
return to his new home in Pennsylvania.
170
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:05,007
It is your decision.
But, if you decide to stay with us...
171
00:25:05,971 --> 00:25:11,478
...you may never again leave. If you do,
you'll be treated as a deserter.
172

I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia.
174
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:37,339
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay.
175
00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:41,177
And if needs be, die.
176
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:52,361
-Then I will take my leave.
-No, sir.
177
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:58,530
It is I who will leave the two of you to
have some time together on your own.
178
00:25:58,690 --> 00:26:01,296
You may have this room
for as long as you require it.
179
00:26:01,460 --> 00:26:03,098
Thank you.
180
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:07,768
Farewell, colonel.
181

May we meet again in happier times.
182

And if not in this troubled world
may we meet in ....
183

HARMAN;
This train was on its way to Washington.
185
00:26:30,823 --> 00:26:34,896
Its livestock's been requisitioned
by the Confederate government.
186
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:38,667
There's enough damn beef in here
to keep us fed for quite a while.
187
00:26:38,831 --> 00:26:43,109
And as many steeds as would
damn well meet our current needs.
188
00:26:43,502 --> 00:26:48,178
With your permission, sir, we've made
a selection of the more promising horses.
189
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:49,910
There's some damn fine ones here.
190
00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:53,522
JACKSON:
Mr. Harman, I fear you are a wicked man.
191
00:26:59,485 --> 00:27:02,762
-This animal looks it for the duty.
-Then he's yours, sir.
192
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:10,104
That small horse over there,
has he been assigned?
193
00:27:10,262 --> 00:27:14,039
Well, it's a well-rounded sorrel, sir,
but too small for you.
194
00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:16,270
You'll have your feet
dragging in the dust.
195
00:27:16,435 --> 00:27:18,210
I was thinking of my wife, Anna.
196
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:20,213
He would make a time present for her.
197
00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:24,810
HARMAN: Well, that it would, sir.
Shall I arrange for the purchase?
198
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:30,153
Leave the bill of the sale
at my headquarters.
199
00:27:30,883 --> 00:27:32,487
I will buy them both.
200
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:35,063
The Confederate Treasury is honored, sir.
201
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:37,461
And may you both sit well in the saddle.
202
00:27:37,623 --> 00:27:39,330
What shall I call you?
203
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:48,572
-Good morning, sir.
-Reverend Pendleton.
204
00:27:48,734 --> 00:27:52,876
-How goes it with the artillery today?
-You're just in time for a christening.
205
00:27:53,038 --> 00:27:58,647
The men have decided to name the
howitzers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
206
00:27:58,911 --> 00:28:04,088
I'm sure your men will spread the gospel
wherever they encounter the enemy.
207
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:06,490
Has my son proven a worthy adjutant?
208
00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:11,595
I'm certain Captain Pendleton will prove
himself deserving of the family name.
209
00:28:15,761 --> 00:28:21,109
ALL:
Break! Guard! Charge!
210
00:28:29,741 --> 00:28:33,279
As if you could ever get close enough
to stick a man with this,
211
00:28:33,445 --> 00:28:36,949
You can give me your bayonet
if you have no further use for it.
212
00:28:37,115 --> 00:28:38,958
What you gonna do with two of them?
213
00:28:39,751 --> 00:28:42,129
You never heard of spare parts?
214
00:28:42,955 --> 00:28:46,698
Pogue, your only hope is that some Yank
puts you out of your misery.
215
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:51,965
Captain White.
216
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,406
How fare the scholars
of Washington College?
217
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:57,308
Are they making their transition
from books to bullets?
218
00:28:57,469 --> 00:29:01,918
A few more days of drill, and my boys
will surpass the cadets of VMI.
219
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:06,045
Drill, Professor White, drill and drill.
Remember Alexander in Anatolia.
220
00:29:06,211 --> 00:29:09,749
Caesar in Gaul. Napoleon in Iberia.
221
00:29:09,915 --> 00:29:13,624
We march by day,
and read Xenophon by night.
222
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:18,234
-We will be your Greek phalanx.
-Then you must begin with the bayonet.
223
00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:22,338
The bayonet must be for a Virginian
what the sarissa was for a Macedonian.
224
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:26,670
If the Yankees dare set foot in Virginia,
we must show them the bayonet.
225
00:29:26,832 --> 00:29:30,177
Train with the bayonet
and we shall keep our freedom.
226
00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:31,939

Yes, sir.
227
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:45,192
Sir.
228
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:51,032
Harman has a detachment ready to take
your sorrel to Mrs. Jackson in Lexington.
229
00:29:51,189 --> 00:29:53,465
The horse you chose
is waiting at headquarters.
230
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:56,538
I've decided to keep
this little sorrel for myself.
231
00:29:56,695 --> 00:29:59,005
I prefer his gait
to that of the larger horse.
232
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:02,873
Unlike the other, he has an even temper.
233
00:30:03,035 --> 00:30:07,108
He will need it where we are going.
Yes, I will keep it.
234
00:30:07,272 --> 00:30:09,980
And Mrs. Jackson?
What should we send her, sir?
235
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,144
Instruct Harman
to make another selection.
236
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:16,726
My complete admiration in his choice
of livestock, if not in his choice of words.
237
00:30:16,882 --> 00:30:19,362

is extremely repulsive.

-Language is blasphemous...

at the man that's shooting at you!

I could have done this walking
on my own back in Staunton.

you didn't have to. Nor me, neither.

sitting on his front porch?

The Apache were defending their
homes, as we will be defending ours.

If we fight as well as the Apache,
I pity the Yankee Invader.

No more than the redskins showed your
troopers. The black flag, sir.

If the North triumphs, it is not alone
the destruction of our property.
271
00:33:05,884 --> 00:33:08,330
It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity...

and responsible government.

It is the triumph of commerce.

00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:18,565
We should meet the invader on
the verge of just defense...

...and raise the black flag. No quarter to
the violators of our homes and firesides.

Our political leadership is too timid
to face the reality of this coming war.

They should look to the Bible.
It is full of such wars.

to its senses and rapidly end the war.

00:57:32,516 --> 00:57:35,520
,..but that we needed it more than air.
503
00:57:35,686 --> 00:57:37,359
More than food, even.
504
00:57:38,989 --> 00:57:41,663
So now it's politics instead of hunting.
505
00:57:43,193 --> 00:57:44,672
Same old thing.
506
00:57:45,696 --> 00:57:49,644
Gotta stay concentrated
on what really matters.
507
00:57:51,702 --> 00:57:53,875
Shakespeare matters.
508
00:57:58,809 --> 00:58:00,948
Acting matters.
509
00:58:18,128 --> 00:58:20,540
Gentlemen, new orders
from the War Department.
510
00:58:21,832 --> 00:58:26,906
The Confederate Army's been reorganized
into three districts.
511
00:58:27,237 --> 00:58:30,548
That of the Potomac will remain
under General Beauregard.
512
00:58:30,707 --> 00:58:33,244
The Aquia under General Holmes.
513
00:58:34,644 --> 00:58:39,252
Um, I've been promoted
to major general...
514
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:43,692
...commanding all forces in and around
the Shenandoah Valley.
515
00:58:44,087 --> 00:58:49,161
The entire army together will now be known
as the Army of Northern Virginia.
516
00:58:50,594 --> 00:58:53,768
Although I am being transferred
to Winchester...
517
00:58:53,930 --> 00:58:57,434
,..the brigade must remain here
at Centreville.
518
00:58:58,101 --> 00:58:59,774
Begging your pardon, sir...
519
00:58:59,936 --> 00:59:02,746
...but the men would prefer
remaining under your command.
520
00:59:03,273 --> 00:59:04,775
That's right, sir.
521
00:59:04,941 --> 00:59:08,115
Couldn't the entire brigade be transferred
with you to the Valley?
522
00:59:08,278 --> 00:59:13,023
Gentlemen, such a degree
of public respect, confidence...
523
00:59:13,183 --> 00:59:17,598
...as puts it in one's power to serve
his country must be accepted and prized.
524
00:59:17,921 --> 00:59:19,798
But apart from that...
525
00:59:20,090 --> 00:59:22,866
...promotion among men is only
a temptation and a trouble.
526
00:59:23,026 --> 00:59:26,803
Had this not come to me as an order,
I should instantly have declined it...
527
00:59:26,963 --> 00:59:30,410
...continued in command
of my brave old brigade.
528
00:59:31,034 --> 00:59:34,948
Sir, may we hope...
529
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:39,448
...that a formal entreaty
to the authorities in Richmond...
530
00:59:39,609 --> 00:59:42,749
...may effect a transfer
of the entire brigade to the Valley?
531
00:59:42,913 --> 00:59:43,983
Hear, hear.
532
00:59:44,147 --> 00:59:47,321
I'll not stop you
from making such a request.
533
00:59:47,484 --> 00:59:51,159
But for now, we must prepare ourselves.
534
00:59:53,256 --> 00:59:56,169
We shall all have our labors to perform...
535
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:02,342
...but with the help
of an ever-kindly heavenly father...
536
01:00:02,499 --> 01:00:05,810
...I trust he will enable us
to accomplish them.

of the country...

,..through which you have marched...
541
01:00:25,856 --> 01:00:30,032
...by your respect for the rights
and property of others...
542
01:00:30,861 --> 01:00:34,434
...you have always shown you are soldiers,
not only to defend...
543
01:00:35,365 --> 01:00:39,177
...but able and willing
both to defend and protect.
544
01:00:39,336 --> 01:00:41,839
You've already won...
545
01:00:43,006 --> 01:00:46,852
...a brilliant reputation throughout the Army
of the whole Confederacy.
546
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:50,548
And I trust in the future
by your deeds in the field...
547
01:00:51,882 --> 01:00:56,388
...and by the assistance of the same kind
providence who has favored our cause...
548
01:00:56,553 --> 01:01:02,231
...you will win more victories and add
luster to the reputation you now enjoy.
549
01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:07,398
You already gained a proud position...
550
01:01:07,864 --> 01:01:10,902
...in the future history of this...
551
01:01:11,067 --> 01:01:13,911
...our second war of independence.
552
01:01:17,574 --> 01:01:22,080
I shall look with anxiety
to your future movements...
553
01:01:22,546 --> 01:01:26,392
...and I trust whenever I shall hear
of the 1st Brigade...
554
01:01:26,550 --> 01:01:28,723
,..on the Held of battle...
555
01:01:28,885 --> 01:01:34,597
...it will be of still nobler deeds achieved
and higher reputation won.
556
01:01:39,930 --> 01:01:45,403
In the Army of the Shenandoah,
you were the 1st Brigade.
557
01:01:45,902 --> 01:01:49,281
In the Army of the Potomac,
you were the 1st Brigade.
558
01:01:49,773 --> 01:01:53,949
In the 2nd Corps of this Army,
you are the 1st Brigade.
559
01:01:54,110 --> 01:01:58,718
You are the 1st Brigade
in the affections of your general.
560
01:02:00,116 --> 01:02:04,861
And I hope by your future deeds and bearing
you will be handed down to posterity...
561

,..as the 1st Brigade...
562
01:02:08,258 --> 01:02:11,728
...in this, our second war of independence.

CHAMBERLAIN: The universe itself
is subject to rules, to law.
568
01:02:46,830 --> 01:02:50,835
The super-abounding life lavished
on this world of ours...
569
01:02:51,401 --> 01:02:53,347
,..is proof...
570
01:02:53,503 --> 01:02:56,313
...that the play of infinite freedom...
571
01:02:56,473 --> 01:03:01,320
,..is here Io help work out
the will of infinite law.
572
01:03:01,478 --> 01:03:06,826
The nature of the universe demonstrates...
573
01:03:06,983 --> 01:03:11,329
,..that freedom can only exist...
574
01:03:11,488 --> 01:03:13,627
...as part of law.

Pardon me, Professor Chamberlain...
576
01:03:19,529 --> 01:03:23,500
,..but how does the study of philosophy
intersect with real life?
577
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,444
If freedom can only exist as a part of law...
578
01:03:28,605 --> 01:03:31,552
...how can we continue to tolerate slavery
protected by law?
579

Lawrence, I know.
580
01:03:50,527 --> 01:03:51,562
How?
581
01:03:53,396 --> 01:03:57,242
I've noticed the way you've been looking
into the children's room each night.
582
01:04:14,317 --> 01:04:15,557
Blue.
583
01:04:15,719 --> 01:04:19,394
Why blue uniforms? It should be red.
584
01:04:19,556 --> 01:04:24,232
-Like the English, the color of blood.
-Are you angry with me?
585
01:04:24,394 --> 01:04:26,101
Lawrence, my darling Lawrence.
586
01:04:26,763 --> 01:04:29,869
Do you remember when you were
thinking of being a missionary?
587
01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:32,946
And you wrote me saying
that you wished your little wife...
588
01:04:33,103 --> 01:04:36,277
...was willing for you to take
whatever course you thought best...
589
01:04:36,439 --> 01:04:39,784
,..and was ready to help you
in it with all her heart?
590
01:04:39,943 --> 01:04:43,857
"Little wife."
How could I ever have called you that?
591
01:04:44,013 --> 01:04:46,459
Your spirit is vaster than oceans.
592
01:04:47,450 --> 01:04:49,953
Then you wrote back.
593
01:04:51,955 --> 01:04:55,528
And I have never forgotten
what you said.
594
01:04:56,359 --> 01:04:59,704
You said, "Well, dear, she is willing...
595
01:04:59,863 --> 01:05:05,142
,..and she feels that you know better
about the matter than she does."

01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:13,050
,..l never think I know better than you.

must forever remain at a stand."
599
01:05:18,715 --> 01:05:20,490
,..just because you're married.
600
01:05:20,650 --> 01:05:25,099
I always want to help you on
in your excelsior striving.
601
01:05:27,490 --> 01:05:33,497
But I had a dream about you, Lawrence.
Last night.
602
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:37,509
While you were away,
offering your services to the governor.
603
01:05:39,269 --> 01:05:45,117
I saw you in my dream.
There were boys in blue marching past.
604
01:05:45,408 --> 01:05:50,016
Some of the boys that we know.
605
01:05:50,180 --> 01:05:53,184
And there you were...
606
01:05:53,349 --> 01:05:56,796
...riding ahead of them
on a great, white horse.
607
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:02,532
Fanny, my love, I felt I had to go.
608
01:06:02,692 --> 01:06:06,765
I offered the governor my services,
wherever he wanted to place me.
609
01:06:07,030 --> 01:06:11,137
I thought he'd probably order me
to an officer.
610
01:06:11,301 --> 01:06:15,545
-Speeches, administration.
-Oh.
611
01:06:15,705 --> 01:06:17,343

612
01:06:17,507 --> 01:06:20,818
...I know you,
When you do a thing, you do it é Ibutrance.
613
01:06:22,145 --> 01:06:26,821
-So? He gave you a commission, didn't he?
-They need sewing officers.
614
01:06:35,859 --> 01:06:38,499
Five new regiments are being formed now.
615
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:43,068

How could I refuse?
616
01:06:43,233 --> 01:06:45,907
Poor Lawrence, damn you,
you'll be good at it too.
617
01:06:46,569 --> 01:06:50,642
You'll be good at soldiering just like
you're good at everything else. So go.

lovely, sad poem.

01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:39,293

I heard Stonewall once.

That name properly belongs
to the 1st Virginia Brigade, not to me.

-They were the ones who earned it.
-Some folks says otherwise.

I can see that many of you

We Maine men know that
life in the woods of Maine...

.toughens the muscles
and stretches the sinews.

I've no doubt many of you
have become good shots by hunting deer.
717

But tough muscles and skillful shooting
are not enough to make a soldier.

for discipline and proper procedure,

Take the act of shooting, for example.

and much, much faster.

as fast as that.

It may save your lives. Colonel.
786
01:20:35,364 --> 01:20:38,811
Line of battle consists of two lines of men,
one behind the other...
787
01:20:38,967 --> 01:20:41,971
,..so that while one line tires,
the other reloads,
788

Behind them is a line of, uh, tile closers.
Lieutenants and sergeants.
789
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:50,080
But two lines make a regiment
unwieldy on the move...

01:20:50,245 --> 01:20:52,555
,..so we need to switch to column of fours.
791
01:20:52,715 --> 01:20:56,253
We need to be able to change from
column of fours to line of battle...
792

,..and back again quickly.
793
01:20:58,253 --> 01:21:01,564
It is not difffcuft to move from fine of battle
into column of fours.
794
01:21:01,724 --> 01:21:05,035
It is harder to move from
column of fours into line of battle...
795
01:21:05,194 --> 01:21:09,074
...and if we're caff ed to make that move,
it will!! be when we're under Ere.
796
01:21:09,231 --> 01:21:13,702
You understand how important it is that
these moves are learned so thoroughly...

...because there the farms are plentiful
and nearly untouched.

And with a fall harvest,
we could feed our troops very well indeed.

I don't believe so, general. No, sir.

who's the aggressor here.

of all our memories, Mr. Taylor...
1175
01:50:15,056 --> 01:50:17,593
,..and all that we are.
1176
01:50:18,426 --> 01:50:20,929
All that we are.
1177
01:50:53,528 --> 01:50:57,533
-What place is this?
-Chancellor's Crossing.
1178
01:50:57,699 --> 01:51:01,146
We're another two hours or so
from Fredericksburg.
1179
01:51:01,803 --> 01:51:04,306
We'll rest here for a short time.
1180
01:51:04,472 --> 01:51:07,885
Yes, sir. I'll see what
the good folks can provide.
1181
01:51:16,718 --> 01:51:20,495
The general be fixing to eat
something warm?
1182
01:51:20,655 --> 01:51:22,396
No, no, Jim.
1183
01:51:22,557 --> 01:51:25,834
We gotta ride on straight
through to General Lee.
1184
01:51:25,994 --> 01:51:28,998
Don't want to get all warmed up
just to feel the cold all over again.
1185
01:51:29,164 --> 01:51:30,404
[cs-[CHUCKLES]]
1186
01:51:31,566 --> 01:51:34,012
You never seem to mind the cold much.
1187
01:51:34,169 --> 01:51:38,675
Oh. I minds it. I just don't shows it.
1188
01:51:40,241 --> 01:51:43,745
Now, Little Sorrel,
I know this corn look poorly...
1189
01:51:43,912 --> 01:51:47,587
,..but it sure beats no com at all.
1190
01:51:55,023 --> 01:51:58,197
You heard from your family lately?
1191
01:51:59,027 --> 01:52:02,372
Ain't heared much for some time.
1192
01:52:02,530 --> 01:52:07,104
Yankee mail used to move
quicker than Secesh mail,
1193
01:52:10,605 --> 01:52:16,715
Lord, from where you sit
you can see the great distance...
1194
01:52:16,878 --> 01:52:20,291
,..that separates our Southern men
from their wives and children.
1195
01:52:20,949 --> 01:52:24,556
We pray that you watch over our families.
1196
01:52:25,954 --> 01:52:29,231
Lord, I ask you to watch over
Jim Lewis' family...
1197
01:52:29,390 --> 01:52:33,304
...over his friends, his loved ones,
wherever they may be,
1198
01:52:33,461 --> 01:52:38,069
Lord, I know you sees
into the hearts of all men...
1199
01:52:38,233 --> 01:52:41,146
,..just like you sees into the heart
of old Jim Lewis.
1200
01:52:43,404 --> 01:52:48,649
And, Lord, I know there's
no lying or deceitfulness...
1201
01:52:48,810 --> 01:52:50,812
,..can hide from you.
1202
01:52:51,746 --> 01:52:52,918
You rind the truth...
1203
01:52:53,081 --> 01:52:59,498
,..in the bottom of the deepest pit
of darkness.
1204
01:52:59,654 --> 01:53:04,626
There be no hiding from your truth
and your ever-watchful eye.
1205
01:53:05,260 --> 01:53:07,103
Amen.
1206
01:53:07,262 --> 01:53:08,832
How is it, Lord?
1207
01:53:09,931 --> 01:53:14,107
Can you explain something
to this old Virginia man?
1208
01:53:14,769 --> 01:53:19,013
How is it a good Christian man...
1209
01:53:19,173 --> 01:53:21,278
,..like some folks I know...
1210
01:53:21,442 --> 01:53:25,322
...can tolerate their black brothers
in bondage?
1211
01:53:26,114 --> 01:53:30,028
How is it, Lord, they don't just...
1212
01:53:30,685 --> 01:53:33,632
,..break them chains?
1213
01:53:34,789 --> 01:53:37,360
How is it, Lord?
1214
01:53:37,525 --> 01:53:42,031
My heart is open and aching.
1215
01:53:42,196 --> 01:53:44,005
And I wants to know.
1216
01:53:49,704 --> 01:53:51,809
Lord, speak to us.
1217
01:53:51,973 --> 01:53:53,213
Speak to your children.
1218
01:53:53,374 --> 01:53:59,154
Speak to Jim Lewis and Thomas Jackson,
your humble and obedient servants.
1219
01:53:59,314 --> 01:54:01,885
Speak to all of us.
1220
01:54:02,317 --> 01:54:05,161
Our hearts are open.
1221
01:54:05,820 --> 01:54:08,232
Lord, you show us the way,
we will follow.
1222
01:54:13,828 --> 01:54:15,739
Amen.
1223
01:54:16,564 --> 01:54:18,908
Amen.
1224
01:54:25,673 --> 01:54:27,016
[sighs]
1225
01:54:30,511 --> 01:54:32,923
-Jim?
-Yeah.
1226
01:54:34,749 --> 01:54:36,660
What is the status of your family?
1227
01:54:37,085 --> 01:54:40,862
About half is free, half slave.
1228
01:54:41,022 --> 01:54:44,868
That's counting all the cousins and such.
1229
01:54:45,526 --> 01:54:48,700
You must know that there are
some officers in this Army...
1230
01:54:48,863 --> 01:54:51,366
...who are of the opinion that...
1231
01:54:51,532 --> 01:54:55,446
,..we should be enlisting Negroes
as a condition for freedom.
1232
01:54:56,437 --> 01:54:58,849
That's what they says around the camp.
1233
01:54:59,006 --> 01:55:03,853
Your people will be free,
one way or another.
1234
01:55:04,011 --> 01:55:07,015
The question is,
if the Southern government will have...
1235
01:55:07,181 --> 01:55:10,458
...the good sense to do it first and soon.
1236
01:55:10,618 --> 01:55:14,532
And in so doing seal a bond
of enduring friendship between us.
1237
01:55:17,458 --> 01:55:20,462
That's what they says, general.
1238
01:55:21,629 --> 01:55:24,974
God's plan is a great mystery.
1239
01:55:25,533 --> 01:55:28,639
It will be revealed to us.
1240
01:55:37,712 --> 01:55:40,989
That's all the fodder you get tonight.
1241
01:55:41,149 --> 01:55:45,325
We's going to a country where there's
nothing more for an animal to eat...
1242
01:55:45,486 --> 01:55:49,662
...than there is what's in the palm
of my hand. Ha, ha.
1243
01:56:01,803 --> 01:56:04,579
General Lee, fine day, sir.
1244
01:56:04,739 --> 01:56:08,744
We got batteries all along that hill,
covering our front to the river.
1245
01:56:08,910 --> 01:56:10,412
Strong anchor on the north.
1246
01:56:10,578 --> 01:56:13,821
Tomorrow, guns will be positioned
in those trees to the south.
1247
01:56:14,081 --> 01:56:18,029
We'll be able to cover the entire
open ground, all of it.
1248
01:56:18,186 --> 01:56:22,760
General, they gonna come at us here?
1249
01:56:22,924 --> 01:56:25,268
Colonel Alexander...
1250
01:56:25,426 --> 01:56:29,465
...Federal troops amassed across that river
are watching us prepare for them.
1251
01:56:29,630 --> 01:56:32,304
If I were General Burnside,
I wouldn't attack here.
1252
01:56:32,467 --> 01:56:35,607
I'd move back upstream,
come across from above us.
1253
01:56:35,770 --> 01:56:38,546
Burnside is not a man
with the luxury of flexibility.
1254
01:56:38,706 --> 01:56:42,119
He's being pushed from behind
by loud voices in Washington...
1255
01:56:42,276 --> 01:56:45,723
...by newspapers
who demand quick action.
1256
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:49,225
But we're here,
and so he will attack us here.
1257
01:56:49,383 --> 01:56:51,989
We got batteries pointing from all angles.
1258
01:56:52,153 --> 01:56:54,656
They cross that canal,
that'll slow them down.
1259
01:56:55,223 --> 01:56:57,396
We shall hit them from all sides.
1260
01:56:57,558 --> 01:57:00,471
No, sir, a chicken couldn't live
on that field.
1261
01:57:05,566 --> 01:57:07,204
General Lee, sir.
1262
01:57:07,401 --> 01:57:09,176
General Jackson sends his respects...
1263
01:57:09,337 --> 01:57:12,910
...and advises his corps will deploy
to the south of this position...
1264
01:57:13,074 --> 01:57:14,883
,..by tomorrow, as you instructed.
1265
01:57:16,143 --> 01:57:18,089
Well, what are his men made of?
1266
01:57:18,246 --> 01:57:20,226
He's 150 miles away.
1267
01:57:20,481 --> 01:57:23,155
To General Jackson,
dawn begins the minute after midnight.
1268
01:57:25,753 --> 01:57:29,530
General Hood, I've often wondered
how it is that...
1269
01:57:29,690 --> 01:57:34,435
...Texas men, the most independent-minded
in this Army of irascibles...
1270
01:57:34,595 --> 01:57:37,269
,..have agreed to serve under
a Kentuckian.
1271
01:57:37,431 --> 01:57:40,435
I have often wondered the same.
1272
01:57:41,202 --> 01:57:46,777
General Gregg, have you settled your
differences with General Jackson?
1273
01:57:47,041 --> 01:57:50,215
No, General Hill, I have not.
1274
01:57:50,711 --> 01:57:52,884
Have you?
1275
01:57:54,382 --> 01:57:56,726
No, sir.
1276
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:01,557
JACKSON:
Tell me, general...
1277
01:58:02,256 --> 01:58:06,227
...do you expect to live
until the end of this war?
1278
01:58:06,594 --> 01:58:11,236
Oh. I do not know...
1279
01:58:12,733 --> 01:58:15,077
,..but I'm inclined to think I will.
1280
01:58:15,236 --> 01:58:17,614
I expect I will be wounded.
1281
01:58:18,806 --> 01:58:21,252
And you, general?
1282
01:58:22,410 --> 01:58:26,654
I do not expect to live to see
the end of this war.
1283
01:58:27,415 --> 01:58:32,330
Nor can I say that without victory
I would desire Io do so.
1284
01:58:36,324 --> 01:58:39,999
-Get up.
-Get up.
1285
01:58:47,501 --> 01:58:49,777
Sir?
1286
01:58:50,271 --> 01:58:53,809
Yes, Mr. Pendleton, you may enter.
1287
01:58:53,975 --> 01:58:57,513
Forgive me, general.
There's a letter for you.
1288
01:58:57,678 --> 01:59:03,356
Courier was running a little slow today,
but I thought you'd want to see it.
1289
01:59:04,452 --> 01:59:05,863
Yes, thank you.
1290
01:59:07,021 --> 01:59:09,467
Good night, sir.
1291
01:59:45,226 --> 01:59:47,001
ANNA:
My own dear father
1292
01:59:48,329 --> 01:59:52,334
As my mothers letter
has been cut short by my arrival...
1293
01:59:52,500 --> 01:59:55,572
...I think it but justice
that I should continue it.
1294
01:59:56,404 --> 01:59:59,578
I know that you are rejoiced
to hear of my coming.
1295
01:59:59,740 --> 02:00:04,018
And I hope that God has sent me
to radiate your pathway through life.
1296
02:00:05,246 --> 02:00:08,090
I am a very tiny little thing.
1297
02:00:08,249 --> 02:00:10,525
I weigh only eight and a half pounds...
1298
02:00:10,685 --> 02:00:16,192
,Hand Aunt Harriet says I am
the express image of my darling papa.
1299
02:00:16,357 --> 02:00:19,531
My mother is very comfortable
this morning.
1300
02:00:20,428 --> 02:00:24,376
Your loving daughter.
1301
02:00:31,105 --> 02:00:33,711
Thank you, Lord.
1302
02:00:33,874 --> 02:00:36,445
Thank you.
1303
02:00:36,711 --> 02:00:38,554
Thank you, thank you.
1304
02:00:39,213 --> 02:00:42,558
They've occupied all the buildings
along the riverfront.
1305
02:00:42,717 --> 02:00:46,290
We will be lining up those pontoon
bridges through a hail of lead.
1306
02:00:46,787 --> 02:00:50,633
Once across, the Rebs are sure
to make us pay for every block.
1307
02:00:50,791 --> 02:00:54,295
Beyond the town is the canal
which cuts across this open held...
1308
02:00:54,462 --> 02:00:58,808
...a held we'll have to cross to reach
their entrenchments on Marye's Heights...
1309
02:00:58,966 --> 02:01:02,641
...another difficult obstacle
in the face of artillery tire.
1310
02:01:02,803 --> 02:01:05,579
Down to our left we could burst through...
1311
02:01:05,740 --> 02:01:11,156
...turn Jackson's lines, push him back,
trap Longstreet on top of the hill...
1312
02:01:11,312 --> 02:01:12,950
,..surround him.
1313
02:01:15,249 --> 02:01:16,660
It's possible.
1314
02:01:17,918 --> 02:01:20,922
Turn Jackson's lines?
1315
02:01:21,589 --> 02:01:24,433
No, general, we'll meet them head on.
1316
02:01:24,592 --> 02:01:27,095
And it will be a bloody mess.
1317
02:01:27,261 --> 02:01:29,172
We'll march up to that hill there...
1318
02:01:29,330 --> 02:01:34,279
...and we'll eat their artillery Ere
all the way across this Held.
1319
02:01:41,776 --> 02:01:44,689
We'll be able to look
at ourselves and say:
1320
02:01:44,845 --> 02:01:47,689
"We're good soldiers.
We did what we were told."
1321
02:01:47,848 --> 02:01:52,627
If we're not successful, we can say it was
a good plan, but there were contingencies.
1322
02:01:52,787 --> 02:01:54,698
You can go back to your hometown...
1323
02:01:54,855 --> 02:01:58,962
...and tell the families of your men
they died doing their duty.
1324
02:01:59,794 --> 02:02:03,298
The Rebs have fortitied
the high ground up the river.
1325
02:02:03,464 --> 02:02:07,708
And anyway, there are strong currents
and obstacles to a crossing there.
1326
02:02:07,868 --> 02:02:10,212
Below Fredericksburg,
the river is too wide.
1327
02:02:10,371 --> 02:02:13,375
And our earliest forces are
clear down to Port Royal.
1328
02:02:13,808 --> 02:02:17,722
Fredericksburg is now
the only place we can cross.
1329
02:02:17,878 --> 02:02:23,487
If Burnside doesn't cross here,
he might as well resign.
1330
02:02:25,953 --> 02:02:30,834
That wily gray fox has outmaneuvered
our command again.
1331
02:02:31,158 --> 02:02:34,401
And there's going to be hell to pay.
1332
02:03:03,090 --> 02:03:04,501
MAN:
Hurry up! Let's go!
1333
02:03:07,027 --> 02:03:08,597
BARKSDALE:
Pick your targets, boys!
1334
02:03:09,263 --> 02:03:11,174
Commence tiring!
1335
02:03:45,466 --> 02:03:46,809
[SOLDIERS SHOUTING]
1336
02:03:53,540 --> 02:03:57,750
Them Yankees is coming, sure as Jesus.
They got two pontoons across that river.
1337
02:03:57,912 --> 02:04:00,415
We got to get you and them children
out of here.
1338
02:04:00,581 --> 02:04:04,154
Stop fussing with me. Get your family
ready. We'll leave together.
1339
02:04:04,318 --> 02:04:07,822

03:39:27,780 --> 03:39:31,819
I go, and it is done.
2187
03:39:33,319 --> 03:39:35,162
The bell invites me.
2188
03:39:37,156 --> 03:39:39,432
Hear it not, Duncan...
2189
03:39:40,059 --> 03:39:44,405
..,for it is a knell
that summons thee to heaven...
2190
03:39:45,631 --> 03:39:47,167
,..or to hell.
2191
03:39:59,912 --> 03:40:02,358
Well, Mr. Booth, another triumph.
2192
03:40:03,182 --> 03:40:05,822
The president and Mrs. Lincoln
wish to see you.
2193
03:40:05,985 --> 03:40:07,191
[cs-chuckles]
2194
03:40:12,324 --> 03:40:14,531
You may tell that tyrant...
2195
03:40:15,928 --> 03:40:17,999
,..that destroyer of civil liberties...
2196
03:40:18,831 --> 03:40:20,777
,..that warmonger...
2197
03:40:21,867 --> 03:40:23,369
,..that I am indisposed. Huh?
2198
03:40:26,705 --> 03:40:29,879
Better still, tell him nothing.
2199
03:40:32,044 --> 03:40:34,388
Tell him I'd already gone.
2200
03:40:45,224 --> 03:40:46,726
Golly gee, Booth.
2201
03:40:47,993 --> 03:40:51,566
An endorsement from
the president of the United States.
2202
03:40:53,399 --> 03:40:55,640
Could be a big thing for your career.
2203
03:41:18,023 --> 03:41:19,696
LEE:
General, from what we've observed...
2204
03:41:19,858 --> 03:41:22,600
...Hooker has moved Eve corps,
maybe 70,000 men.
2205
03:41:22,761 --> 03:41:25,241
They're digging in around
Chancellor's mansion.
2206
03:41:25,397 --> 03:41:30,278
Sedgwick has another 40,000
spread out along the Stafford Heights...
2207
03:41:30,436 --> 03:41:34,748
,..on the north bank of the Rappahannock
in front of General Early at Fredericksburg.
2208
03:41:34,907 --> 03:41:39,378
Now, there's possibly 30,000 more
back along the river north of here...
2209
03:41:39,545 --> 03:41:41,183
,..that we've not yet located.
2210
03:41:42,414 --> 03:41:44,553
We're not in a position of strength here.
2211
03:41:44,717 --> 03:41:48,426
We owe a great deal to the unexplainable,
the mystery of General Hooker...
2212
03:41:48,587 --> 03:41:50,965
...who's allowed us to maneuver freely...
2213
03:41:51,123 --> 03:41:56,539
...between two parts of an army
that's more than twice our strength.
2214
03:41:57,096 --> 03:42:00,566
We do not yet understand his plan.
2215
03:42:00,733 --> 03:42:03,043
He may still plan a move
toward Gordonsville."
2216
03:42:03,202 --> 03:42:05,546
...move around below us,
cut us off from Richmond.
2217
03:42:05,804 --> 03:42:08,307
And there's still Sedgwick on the river.
2218
03:42:08,640 --> 03:42:13,055
Now Sedgwick shows no signs of moving,
but that could change.
2219
03:42:13,412 --> 03:42:15,153
They're anchored against the river...
2220
03:42:15,314 --> 03:42:18,659
...and their lines continue
down below Chancellorsville...
2221
03:42:18,817 --> 03:42:20,922
,..then curves along here.
2222
03:42:21,120 --> 03:42:24,499
We've observed their lines curving out
in these open clearings...
2223
03:42:24,656 --> 03:42:27,660
,..then extending on out to the west.
2224
03:42:27,826 --> 03:42:31,433
Then what, general?
Do you know where their right flank is?
2225
03:42:31,597 --> 03:42:34,942
JACKSON: No. Not yet.
LEE: We must know, We must know.
2226
03:42:35,100 --> 03:42:38,604
If he marches in that direction,
he could threaten our flank...
2227
03:42:38,771 --> 03:42:43,117
,..or be going toward Gordonsville
before we can react.
2228
03:42:46,578 --> 03:42:49,184
Out here, in the west,
along this turnpike, here...
2229
03:42:49,348 --> 03:42:54,093
...their right flank's in the air.
it's the one place they're not digging in.
2230
03:42:54,253 --> 03:42:56,665
They're not expecting any pressure there.
2231
03:42:57,156 --> 03:43:01,605
-Who's on their flank?
-11th Corps. Oliver Howard.
2232
03:43:01,760 --> 03:43:06,470
Mm-hm. Were there any roads
farther down below the turnpike?
2233
03:43:06,632 --> 03:43:09,442
Yes, sir. Indeed there are, good roads.
2234
03:43:09,601 --> 03:43:13,014
That's Catherine's Furnace here
and there's a road here.
2235
03:43:13,172 --> 03:43:16,449
-There's a road over this way.
-Then, we must hit them there.
2236
03:43:16,608 --> 03:43:19,885
Then attack the flank.
They will have nowhere to go.
2237
03:43:20,045 --> 03:43:23,822
They'll have to go back across the river
or we will destroy them.
2238
03:43:23,982 --> 03:43:27,555
We're too close to their lines.
They'll observe our movements.
2239
03:43:27,719 --> 03:43:30,063
There must be another road farther down.
2240
03:43:30,889 --> 03:43:33,062
Now, is there someone we know?
2241
03:43:33,225 --> 03:43:36,206
Someone we can trust who knows the area?
2242
03:43:36,628 --> 03:43:39,006
Captain Pendleton.
Find Reverend Lacy for me.
2243
03:43:39,164 --> 03:43:41,235
LACY:
I'm, uh, here, sir.
2244
03:43:41,400 --> 03:43:43,710
This is my chaplain,
the Reverend Tucker Lacy.
2245
03:43:43,869 --> 03:43:45,906
He has family in this area.
2246
03:43:46,071 --> 03:43:48,142
General Lee.
2247
03:43:49,241 --> 03:43:52,848
Reverend, it would be very helpful
if you could find us a safe route...
2248
03:43:53,011 --> 03:43:57,482
-...around the enemy.
-Well, sir, uh, there, I know a family.
2249
03:43:57,649 --> 03:44:02,189
The Wellfords. Uh, I suggest a visit to them.
We may find ourselves a guide.
2250
03:44:02,354 --> 03:44:06,894
Please go at once, Mr. Lacy. Find someone
who might show us how we might proceed.
2251
03:44:07,059 --> 03:44:08,766
Yes, sir.
2252
03:44:10,829 --> 03:44:15,608
Then it has been decided, general.
This mission will be yours.
2253
03:44:18,070 --> 03:44:20,550
I would not have it any other way.
2254
03:44:32,951 --> 03:44:35,295
Where is General Jackson, Jim?
2255
03:44:36,788 --> 03:44:39,268
He done gone to see his officers, sir.
2256
03:44:43,228 --> 03:44:48,473
How come that you know so much
about what the general is thinking, Jim?
2257
03:44:49,301 --> 03:44:50,780
None of us do.
2258
03:44:50,936 --> 03:44:54,281
The general never tells me nothing, sir.
2259
03:44:54,439 --> 03:44:57,545
But the way I knows is this:
2260
03:44:57,709 --> 03:45:01,384
The general say his prayers twice a day...
2261
03:45:01,546 --> 03:45:03,423
,..morning and night.
2262
03:45:03,582 --> 03:45:08,156
But if he gets out of bed in the night
two or three times to pray...
2263
03:45:08,320 --> 03:45:11,096
,..l just packs the haversack.
2264
03:45:11,256 --> 03:45:15,500
I know there's a move on hand
and hell to pay in the morning.
2265
03:45:15,727 --> 03:45:17,297
[Laughing]
2266
03:45:17,996 --> 03:45:20,169
"Hell to pay in the morning."
2267
03:45:20,732 --> 03:45:21,972
Very amusing.
2268
03:45:22,567 --> 03:45:24,513
-Amusing.
-Yeah.
2269
03:45:26,004 --> 03:45:27,347
Yeah.
2270
03:45:28,573 --> 03:45:30,018
Wait.
2271
03:45:34,012 --> 03:45:36,083
There is another road.
2272
03:45:39,351 --> 03:45:42,264
It's a road that runs
well below the Federal lines.
2273
03:45:42,421 --> 03:45:45,595
The Wellford boy explained it to me.
He knows the route.
2274
03:45:45,924 --> 03:45:49,133
He will march with us to where
this road rejoins the turnpike...
2275
03:45:49,294 --> 03:45:51,934
...then we turn to the east
and attack their right Hank.
2276
03:45:52,431 --> 03:45:56,880
It is a greater distance, perhaps 12 or
13 miles, but the boys can do it.
2277
03:45:57,035 --> 03:45:58,446
They have never let us down.
2278
03:46:02,674 --> 03:46:04,381
Farewell, general.
2279
03:46:05,344 --> 03:46:07,483
How many troops will you require?
2280
03:46:08,380 --> 03:46:10,155
Five, general, my whole corps.
2281
03:46:11,516 --> 03:46:13,553
And what will you leave me?
2282
03:46:13,885 --> 03:46:17,662
Well, the divisions
of Anderson and McLaws.
2283
03:46:18,890 --> 03:46:23,305
You leave me 12,000 men
against Hooker's 70,000.
2284
03:46:23,996 --> 03:46:26,237
If Hooker pushes out of his trenches...
2285
03:46:26,398 --> 03:46:30,073
...he could destroy not only the plan
but possibly the Army.
2286
03:46:30,869 --> 03:46:33,748
And there's still Sedgwick
along the river.
2287
03:46:33,905 --> 03:46:38,217
How long will he sit staring at Marye's Hill?
How long?
2288
03:46:42,047 --> 03:46:44,994
We've divided the Army before.
2289
03:46:46,485 --> 03:46:51,025
We must retain the advantage of
surprise, we must outflank the flankers.
2290
03:46:51,189 --> 03:46:54,602
We must beat them at their own game.
2291
03:46:57,062 --> 03:47:03,206
Take your entire corps,
General Jackson, and destroy the enemy.
2292
03:47:04,936 --> 03:47:07,041
God be with you.
2293
03:47:23,455 --> 03:47:25,765
Boys, my days are numbered.
2294
03:47:26,691 --> 03:47:28,534
My time has come.
2295
03:47:29,928 --> 03:47:34,741
You can laugh, but my time has come.
2296
03:47:37,702 --> 03:47:41,707
I got a 20-dollar gold piece I carried
through the war and a silver watch...
2297
03:47:41,873 --> 03:47:44,410
...my daddy sent to me
through the lines,
2298
03:47:48,213 --> 03:47:50,489
Take them off of me when I'm dead.
2299
03:47:51,883 --> 03:47:55,490
Give them to my captain to give to my
daddy when he gets back home.
2300
03:47:55,654 --> 03:47:59,227
Here's my clothes and my blanket.
Anybody who wishes can have them.
2301
03:48:00,926 --> 03:48:06,740
My rations I do not wish at all. My gun
and cartridge box I expect to die with.
2302
03:48:17,309 --> 03:48:18,845
-Mr. Smith.
-Sir.
2303
03:48:19,010 --> 03:48:23,015
Your instructions to the ranks: There is
to be no noise, I want no talking.
2304
03:48:23,181 --> 03:48:25,752
Stragglers will be bayoneted,
let the men know.
2305
03:48:25,917 --> 03:48:30,366
No muskets are to be loaded until we
deploy for battle. Secrecy, Mr. Smith.
2306
03:48:30,522 --> 03:48:33,128
Everything depends upon
the element of surprise.
2307
03:48:33,291 --> 03:48:37,137
Sir, I'll convey the orders. No stragglers.
2308
03:48:41,433 --> 03:48:44,642
-Reverend.
-May we bow our heads.
2309
03:48:46,371 --> 03:48:51,150
Dear Lord, heavenly Father,
you who know all things.
2310
03:48:51,309 --> 03:48:54,779
We face again a mighty
foe, a vast host.
2311
03:48:55,213 --> 03:48:58,160
An enemy more than twice our number.
2312
03:48:58,316 --> 03:49:02,890
But you have taught us
to fear not, to trust in you.
2313
03:49:03,221 --> 03:49:08,227
When the Philistines came before them,
the people of Israel feared Goliath.
2314
03:49:08,393 --> 03:49:10,236
Their Army was in terror.
2315
03:49:10,395 --> 03:49:14,366
No one had the courage to stand
against the mighty warrior.
2316
03:49:14,533 --> 03:49:18,572
Then you brought forth David,
a mere boy.
2317
03:49:18,737 --> 03:49:21,718
And Saul armed David with his armor...
2318
03:49:21,873 --> 03:49:25,878
...and he put a helmet
of brass upon his head.
2319
03:49:26,044 --> 03:49:29,253
Also he armed him with a coat of mail.
2320
03:49:29,414 --> 03:49:35,695
And David girded his sword upon
his armor and he assayed to go.
2321
03:50:01,179 --> 03:50:06,128
General Rodes, deploy your men on
either side of the turnpike, brigade front.
2322
03:50:06,284 --> 03:50:08,560
How soon will
General Colston's men be up?
2323
03:50:08,720 --> 03:50:10,859
We're right behind, general.
2324
03:50:15,727 --> 03:50:17,138
JACKSON:
General Lee. ._
2325
03:50:18,697 --> 03:50:21,701
...I hope as soon as
practicable to attack...
2326
03:50:21,866 --> 03:50:27,145
..,l trust that an ever kind providence
will bless us with great success.
2327
03:50:31,443 --> 03:50:33,753
Take this to General Lee.
2328
03:50:36,715 --> 03:50:39,719
Well, General Rodes...
2329
03:50:41,886 --> 03:50:46,130
...it appears the Virginia Military
Institute will be heard from today.
2330
03:50:47,325 --> 03:50:49,236
Deploy your brigade.
2331
03:53:04,963 --> 03:53:09,469
Two hours of daylight left.
Are you ready, General Rodes?
2332
03:53:09,934 --> 03:53:11,914
You may move forward.
2333
03:55:27,839 --> 03:55:29,443

you'd be all right, you dang fool.

Hill's men can move on by us.

to push f onward hard.

know they will run if we press them.

Yes, sir.

General Hill, you must keep the men
moving. We must keep the pressure up.

We have broken their flank. We can
crush them now if we can cut them off.

You will ride with General Hill. You will End
a way through the woods to the northeast.

You will ind the rear
of the enemy's position.

-Here, take this. it'll help, sir.

the knowledge of the troops.

hundred yards. We must get away!

to make it painless.

warrants amputation...

No, major. II does not seem right at all.
But it is the will of God.

across the river.

around Chancellorsville.

as a hero, Mrs. Chamberlain...
2518
04:17:38,101 --> 04:17:41,947
...even if that role be no more than
a simple soldier who only speaks one line.
2519
04:17:42,205 --> 04:17:47,951
Yes. it's for the audience to decide
who is a hero and who is villain.
2520
04:17:48,345 --> 04:17:50,951
We merely play the parts allotted to us.
2521
04:17:52,015 --> 04:17:54,120
How do you think of us,
Mrs. Chamberlain...
2522
04:17:54,284 --> 04:17:57,356
...Cinna and Brutus,
as heroes or villains?
2523
04:17:58,255 --> 04:17:59,757
Well...
2524
04:18:00,457 --> 04:18:03,131
...noblest Roman of them all...
2525
04:18:03,293 --> 04:18:06,763
...you cannot be villains
in Shakespeare's eyes...
2526
04:18:06,930 --> 04:18:10,070
...though Dante makes you
the worst villains in the world...
2527
04:18:10,233 --> 04:18:11,473
,..after Judas Iscariot.
2528
04:18:12,269 --> 04:18:15,148
No, you are not villains to Shakespeare...
2529
04:18:15,739 --> 04:18:17,650
...but I wonder, are you heroes?
2530
04:18:19,309 --> 04:18:21,880
-Oh. I speak too much. I'm sorry.
-No, no, no.
2531
04:18:22,045 --> 04:18:25,322
My beloved husband has been given
a few days' furlough here...
2532
04:18:25,482 --> 04:18:28,395
...and everything about these days
delights me utterly.
2533
04:18:28,551 --> 04:18:31,998
Do not expect me to speak intelligently
about your play or anything else.
2534
04:18:32,923 --> 04:18:38,669
My eyes, my heart, my whole being
is dancing uncontrollably with joy...
2535
04:18:38,828 --> 04:18:41,775
...at being together
with the man that I love.
2536
04:18:42,499 --> 04:18:46,345
Thank you for enriching my stay here
with those immortal words. Thank you.
2537
04:18:47,170 --> 04:18:51,118
Come, Fanny. We must leave the players
to rest after their exertions.
2538
04:18:51,274 --> 04:18:52,514
Good evening.
2539
04:18:55,245 --> 04:18:58,124
What a Caesar, Harrison.
2540
04:18:58,748 --> 04:19:00,625
What a Caesar.
2541
04:19:01,084 --> 04:19:04,156
Too young for Caesar. Henry V.
2542
04:19:04,688 --> 04:19:06,599
Yes, Henry V.
2543
04:19:06,756 --> 04:19:10,465
With that voice shouting,
"Once more into the breach!"
2544
04:19:10,627 --> 04:19:14,473
Oh, yes. Henry V.
2545
04:19:21,871 --> 04:19:24,112
Teacher, not a soldier.
2546
04:19:24,507 --> 04:19:26,953
And a better actor than either of us.
2547
04:19:27,444 --> 04:19:30,618
But he's chosen the right role
in the right play.
2548
04:19:31,181 --> 04:19:33,718
He'll be applauded
long after we're forgotten.
2549
04:19:33,883 --> 04:19:38,389
All we can do, Harrison,
is like I said to Mrs. Chamberlain.
2550
04:19:38,555 --> 04:19:43,061
All we can do is play the roles
allotted to us.
2551
04:19:43,326 --> 04:19:47,399
Well, if a teacher of rhetoric can
become a soldier, so can an actor.
2552
04:19:51,468 --> 04:19:55,416
I've known for some time
I could not go on like this.
2553
04:19:56,339 --> 04:19:57,909
And now ....
2554
04:20:00,377 --> 04:20:02,914
If the Yankee cause can sway
a man like that...
2555
04:20:03,079 --> 04:20:05,923
,..then we need every man
we can muster.
2556
04:20:06,082 --> 04:20:08,585
Booth, I'm quitting the stage.
I have to go.
2557
04:20:09,319 --> 04:20:12,095
I loathe, I detest his cause.
2558
04:20:13,089 --> 04:20:15,933
But were I to be killed
by a man like that...
2559
04:20:18,361 --> 04:20:19,772
,..I'd regard it an honor.
2560
04:20:21,231 --> 04:20:22,835
Yes, sir.
2561
04:20:23,533 --> 04:20:25,069
Yes, sir.
2562
04:20:26,369 --> 04:20:27,746
An honor.
2563
04:20:30,006 --> 04:20:33,249
You were always inclined
to melodrama, Harrison.
2564
04:20:34,444 --> 04:20:39,223
What makes you think you'll be
a better soldier than an actor?
2565
04:20:40,417 --> 04:20:42,124
Stay here.
2566
04:20:43,620 --> 04:20:45,429
Your place is here.
2567
04:20:45,755 --> 04:20:49,202
Why should we think what we do
is any less than what soldiers do?
2568
04:20:50,060 --> 04:20:51,801
We may be mere actors...
2569
04:20:52,529 --> 04:20:55,806
...but think of the words
we help to keep alive.
2570

Who will remember the names of...
2571
04:21:03,406 --> 04:21:07,718
...Queen Elizabeth's generals,
and politicians?
2572
04:21:09,979 --> 04:21:11,253
Who will ever forget...

04:21:12,115 --> 04:21:13,924
,..the name...

Then I will.
2583
04:22:17,881 --> 04:22:19,724
He must know.
2584
04:22:20,850 --> 04:22:23,228

Do you know that the doctor says
you must very soon be in heaven?

Do you not feel willing to acquiesce in
God's allotment if he wills you to go today?
2594
04:23:47,604 --> 04:23:49,481
I prefer it.

What is the news, Reverend?
2604
04:25:02,879 --> 04:25:07,385
General Lee, I must report
that his case appears hopeless.
2605
04:25:09,852 --> 04:25:14,301
His wounds are healing,
but he's dying of pneumonia.
2606
04:25:17,327 --> 04:25:21,298
Surely General Jackson must recover.
2607
04:25:21,964 --> 04:25:26,743
God will not take him from us, not now
that we need him so very much.
2608
04:25:31,174 --> 04:25:33,415
Will you see him, sir?
2609

No, sir, I won't. No, sir.
2610
04:25:47,156 --> 04:25:50,365
When you return,
I trust you'll find him better.
2611
04:25:52,929 --> 04:25:59,073
And when the occasion offers, tell him
that I prayed for him last night...
2612
04:26:01,838 --> 04:26:07,083
...as I never prayed,
I believe, for myself.
2613

Please tell him.

04:26:13,182 --> 04:26:14,786
Please tell him.

Where's Smith?

Tell him. Push up that column.
