This is what matters.

We're going to bring peace to America,
Lieutenant.

Do you think you have what it takes?

I think we should do some target
practice.

Prepare to fire.

Unidentified ship on the port bow, sir.

The Aurora.

What are they doing here?

Do you mind if we have a look around?

Alain Donjou's not the controlling force
here. There's somebody else behind her.

Count Gregory, you were torn apart by
the Turks in the 14th century. And

afterwards revived by the monks in the
fall.

And you see.

You think you can be part of the League
of Darkness if you're not prepared to be

ruthless? Give me the gun.

No. Throw him over the side.

When the Union lieutenant sent his
desperate message from Fricksburg,

he know that the answer to his plea was
floating 2 ,000 feet above the Atlantic,

heading west in pursuit of the flying
ship Prometheus, which the dreaded

conspiracy known as the League of
Darkness planned to use to help slavery

triumph in America.

Have you found them?

No, well, it's hardly surprising, is it?
We did lose contact with them 12 hours

ago. The question is, where did the
Prometheus intend to intervene?

Well, wherever air power can make the
most impact.

It's wherever the biggest battle is.

Which would suggest Fricksburg.

In the last report in the Times, Sir
General Dillon was luring Lee there from

the showdown.

Ah, yes, but knowing Lee, he's probably
turned the tables already.

He is a brilliant general.

Fighting for the wrong side.

Fighting for his native soil and its way
of life, Vern.

He has a point of view, too, you know.

But I come from Alabama with a bathtub
on my knee.

Passport 2, he's all yours.

Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you... Give me
passport 2.

What? The Prometheus, there.

You were told to draw Jules Verne into
the League of Darkness.

You did not.

You were told to obtain the airship of
Filius Paul.

You did not.

I tried, Count. I tried.

You disappoint me, Commander.

I had plans for Jules Verne.

But, Count, he had a soul beyond that of
ordinary men.

Which is precisely why I wanted you.

He hardly knows it himself yet, but he
has the ability to project his mind into

the future.

I wanted that ability in the service of
the Legion.

But Count, he's too much of an idealist
to join us.

Commander, you astonish me if you
contradict me.

And I am saddened by it.

I think that your mind and mine should
be linked, closer together

from now on.

Closer?

Enemy vessel aft, Commander, and storm
conditions ahead.

Proceed into the storm, Commander is and
date.

Yes, closer.

The cortical lobes start.

Idea.

Not the ideal moment for a little
encounter.

We have to follow them. Well, the
problem is, Vern, they're rather better

equipped than we are to deal with an
Atlantic template. If we don't tail them

now, we'll lose them.

Rebecca.

Debbie.

What do you think?

Well, bearing in mind how much rests on
this, I say we carry on.

Because you feel what I feel.

You will find it almost impossible to
displease me.

We're having a man of our own. She no
like starboard storm.

She doesn't like this storm.

Neither do I. We're going to lose her.

We are going to lose the Aurora unless
we can get out of it.

It's a hurricane, Commander.

We are holding our own, but only just.

And the Aurora disappeared.

Prepare to land the Observer as soon as
we cross the coast.

It's no good.

We've lost her.

Can we go any higher?

No, no, there's too much turbulence.

Call off the chase.

We'll catch her later.

Mr. Jules, are you all right?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Fong, is she all right?

Well, her pulse is low. Her breathing is
shallow.

She needs a doctor.

Where are we?

I don't know.

We're behind Confederate lines. We'll
probably be shot.

Looks like you folks need some help.

Yes.

All right, Chip.

Still, honey, you're going to be just
fine.

My people will take you straight to the
house.

Where the hell am I?

Oh, you're as safe as can be.

You're in Georgia.

We're profoundly in your debt, madam.

What else have we put on this earth
forward to help each other?

And there's no need to call me madam.

My name is Saratoga.

Saratoga Brown.

My great -granddaddy built this house in
1765.

Now, during the Revolution, he fought
alongside the famous guerrilla they

the Swamp Fox.

He was thanked by George Washington
himself.

Of course, it's not the style in which
we usually like to entertain our guests

here at Arcadia, but the war has made
terrible inroads on all our southern

standards.

Well, not at all, Dan, of kindness and
hospitality, Mr. Brown. We're profoundly

grateful. Yes, yes, we're very...

Grateful, but I feel we're here under
false pretense as far.

This lady and we are on opposite sides.

My young friend is right, Mrs. Brown. We
can't deceive you.

A new and terrible war machine has been
developed in Europe.

Its inventors wish to use it on behalf
of the Confederacy, and we are here to

try and stop that.

So you're here to help the Yankees
destroy the South? We're here to stop

balance being shifted against the Union.

We're here because slavery is wrong.

Mrs. Brown, we're here because these
people should be free.

I respect your honesty, Mr. Verne, but I
don't think you know what you're

talking about.

You think Jeb here or all the others,
you think they'll be free if the North

defeats the Confederacy?

They won't be slaves anymore.

Not my slaves, no.

They won't belong to someone who cares
about them.

They'll be slaves to some debt collector
or a Yankee factory owner or some

sharecropping landlord, and they know
it.

At least no one will be able to sell
their babies or beat them with a whip,

Vern.

Now, really.

I have never beat a slave in my life,
Mr. Vern.

And God forbid I ever should.

I care about these people.

They care about me, too.

There are worse things than slavery, you
know.

Really?

Care to name one?

Well, a feast in progress.

Ain't that good timing?

Shift yourself, friends. I got some
hungry soldiers to feed.

Either you folks get away from that
table now, or this man's brain's gonna

all over your candelabra.

I thought you Yankees claimed to be
fighting with folks like Jeb.

Sassy. I like him sassy.

You two get down to the kitchen.

The lady's going to stay and show us
some of that real southern hospitality.

Or do you want to see this fellow go to
join Jesus?

No.

That's good.

I always knew that southern chivalry
stuff was just bulldozed.

But first, I'd like you to meet my
valet. Your valet?

Mm -hmm.

His name's Passepartout.

He's a charming fellow when you get to
know him, which, sadly, you won't.

Take my advice.

Don't come back.

Do you think you can get away with it?

Do you know General Sheridan? General?
I'm here on his behalf. He's a personal

friend of mine. Mission behind enemy
line.

If you compromise,

remove your stripes with your own
toenails, do I make myself abundantly

We saw him back in, didn't we?

We certainly did.

Taking on the Confederacy and the North,
are we, Clark?

Daffern! Who said life was simple?

Shall we resume our meal, Mrs. Brown?

And passport, too. Very well done.

Well, that plate throw gets better every
time.

Help me with this, Jules. I can't move
this arm properly.

Oh, I didn't really... Oh, come on.

Here, pull this.

Go on.

I'm not made of glass.

That's fine, thank you.

You should be in bed, recovering.

No. I should be preventing the
Prometheus from changing the course of

War, remember?

Which means we have to get to Fricksburg
before they do.

Um, I cannot...

Gerber's Gap. Robert E. Lee has the
Union's Fifth Army trapped.

The only way they can do so is via a
rail junction at Gerber's Gap.

Yes, you're right.

If that relief force fails to get
through and General Dillon surrenders,

Lee has a completely clear route through
to Washington.

Hmm?

Yes. Yes, we can travel as soon as you
want.

We'll go right away.

Every time I look at this view now, I
wonder if it'll be for the last time.

Not if I can help it.

It's true that I'm a friend of Phil
Sheridan's.

I'll try and get some sort of military
exemption for you and Arcadia Hall.

take more than a piece of paper to save
Arcadia, Phileas.

I sometimes feel that whatever happens
in the war, all of this is doom.

Andrew felt that too.

Your husband?

He's with the army?

Fell just after Fort Sunter.

He was a fine man.

A good man.

You two would have gotten along well.

Well, if he thought as much of you as I
do, I'm sure we would.

Sometimes I'm glad that he didn't live
to see the way things are going.

He loved the South far too much to see
it destroyed.

And you?

I can survive most things.

As long as I have something to sustain
me.

I'm laughing.

You're the perfect European gentleman.

The world you come from fits you like a
glove. Well, it may look like that,

Saratoga, but it's an illusion, like
most things.

Are you telling me you're really a
rebel, hidden under all that button

gentility? Well, rebel isn't the word
I'd have chosen, but as I suppose you're

rebel technically. It's a title I'm
honored to adopt.

Shall we rebel together, Saratoga?

Against what?

Against whatever prevents us being who
we really are.

Oh, there you are.

The time we were going.

Jules and Passepartout have got the
dirigible ready.

Should you be here?

That's where the Prometheans are going.

Exigencies of war, you know?

I'll go and get the others, shall I?

I'm just getting used to having a man to
talk to again.

I'll be back, Saratoga.

Will you?

Or will the war just swallow you up?

It seems it's swallowed up everything
else.

I'll return for you.

This is hogwash.

The best we could get, General. I sent a
party of men.

No, what these limeys are telling me.

Flying ships, a league of darkness,
hogwash. General Steel, we have a flying

ship. Why shouldn't the enemy?

Lady, you have a balloon, which I, by
the way, am volunteering.

Balloons, it's feasible.

Flying ships is hogwash.

And I know this to be true because I
have never seen one.

Well, you're about to see one in the
worst possible way, General.

And if you don't want to lose your
command, I suggest you rig up some air

defense for this junction right now.

Are you telling me how to do my job,
sir?

I'm telling you how to keep your job,
General.

Because if you don't start preparing for
an aerial attack immediately, this time

next week,

You will be reading a letter from
Abraham Lincoln, sending you back to

flea -ridden boarding house he plugged
you out of.

Are you following me?

Tell me what you got in mind.

Why me?

What makes you think the Union troops
coming south take the threat any more

furiously than the drunken sot in charge
here?

Well, someone's got to tell them.

You don't see the stuffing of Prometheus
here.

That troop train is going to be there
next time.

That's what he wants.

It comes with the territory.

Now.

You too, Rebecca.

I've inspected that gas bag of yours,
and whoever designed it doesn't know a

damn thing about war.

Pleasure craft, General. Not a fighting
machine.

If it had not been for Rebecca and Mr.
Verne, it would have been fully

carrying me between the great casinos of
Europe.

Oh, well, you see, you can't arm or play
his damn balloon.

Not without interfering with his
buoyancy, no.

I'm going to get my men. Come out with a
couple of ten -pounders on your top

deck. You can come in, push them down
low enough for my boys to have a crack

it with surround shots.

That's going to leave a mark.

Who the hell ordered that, Doug?

It was me, Master General.

It's a... It is for a flinging device to
obfuscate the bomb at the flying ship

and make it go poof.

You're not only a coroner, sir.

You're...

lest we do something about it.

Two degrees starboard.

Bomb crew, report.

Bombs ready, Commander.

Ground batteries.

They've mounted their guns on ramps. And
that damn dirigible is here.

Damage control units, now!

Break off the engagement, Commander.

Break off?

But we haven't even started to...

Break

off.

They are ready for us.

We could lose the ship.

Yes, Captain.

do this sort of thing, you know.

As far as I'm concerned, they're all
rebels and should be treated as such.

But you people have done me a big favor.

I appreciate it.

I'm profoundly grateful.

And I know that Mrs. Brown will be too.

Yes, I'm sure she will be.

Because every other plantation is going
to be burned to the ground.

Hey, wait a minute.

How do I know you'll be here in time to
back me up if there's another attack?

Because, General, you have my word as an
Englishman.

I trust that will be enough.

And I will stay, General.

And help you.

Great.

Gently.

Well, Observer, your report.

The Aurora.

I know where she was before Grover's got
her.

I'm not interested in where she was
before.

I want to know how to neutralize her
now.

Account.

When Fogg first landed, he was held.

You followed for her, haven't you, Fogg?

Let's put it this way, Fogg.

I've lived long enough to know one
doesn't meet a woman like that very

this life.

Too bad she's on the other side.

Sides for little factions.

Blues and greys, heretics and orthodox.

Haven't you seen through it all yet?

There's a bunch of things right and
wrong.

Saratoga Brown fits neatly into the
first category.

Trust you don't disagree with me on
that.

Fogg, look!

God.

Ah! They took her, Mr. Fogg!

They took Miss Saratoga!

Who did?

Who were they?

This is my brother.

He tried to come between them.

And they shot him down like a dog.

Who did it?

Tell me who did it. I don't know what it
was, sir.

But I knew what they took her in.

It was like a great flying boat.

We're going to need a lot more sandbags
around here.

I have to assume they're going to target
this after the...

British government teach you this stuff,
ma 'am?

No.

Desperate improvisation is something of
a way of life for me.

I love the way you talk.

You ought to be in a parlor full of
poets and such, not out here in the

of some war.

I would exchange a parlor full of poets
for a good battle any day.

Ain't no such thing as a good battle, ma
'am.

Once the bugle sounds, it's all blood
and craziness.

Why are you here?

Turned up my nose sometimes.

I guess Mr. Lincoln asked us to stand by
the Union, and we done it.

But why's a lady like you putting
herself in harm's way?

Fatal defect of character, I'm afraid.

Total inability to deal with peace and
quiet.

Of course, the truth is, it's people
like me that make most of the trouble in

the world.

I've seen a lot more!

We don't even know their demands.

The message is obvious.

You mean they'll do something to
Saratoga? They will kill Havre.

Don't mince words.

We have to defend Grover's Gap. If we
don't, Dylan's army is lost and perhaps

the war with it.

Slavery goes on. If I do defend it, the
woman I love will be murdered.

That's a neat little dilemma, hmm?

I hate to add to the pressure, but
Rebecca is on that troop train heading

If the Prometheus attacks while the
trains hang... Why do men put themselves

these situations, man?

trinkets and baubles to you, but a far
greater value as a blood purifier to me.

I don't understand.

If you're supposed to be helping the
Confederacy, why are you holding me

prisoner? You aided the enemies of the
South, my dear.

I must pay the price.

Besides, this is your chance to die for
the cause your husband already gave his

life to we.

So you're going to kill me?

If Mr.

Phileas Fogg truly loves you, he will
keep his airship out of the battle, and

your life will be saved.

If he does not.

You don't set much store by human life,
do you? How can you expect me to?

I have lived five centuries in the form
you now see me.

and watch generation after generation
bloom and die like flowers in the

My interest is in the garden as a whole,
not the individual blossoms.

Perhaps your perspective got distorted,
sir.

It almost certainly did, madam.

Lots of things get distorted when you
have been attached to four wild horses

torn apart in front of a crowd of 10
,000 screaming turks.

Maybe the real damage was when you were
put back together again.

The terrible mistake was saving your
life.

There are times, madam, when that is my
exact fault.

It's still on the ground.

Commence your run, Commander.

Commander, the observer is signaling to
come on board.

Lower the ladder.

Look below, Commander.

There is some activity around the
dirigible.

Put the woman in the prowl so Bob can
see her clearly.

Note how long a drop it is, Miss Brown.

I trust Mr. Fogg is prepared to put
personal feelings above abstract notion

duty?

And what about your personal feelings,
Commander?

Don't they tell you that taking a human
life is wrong?

They might, Mrs. Brown.

If I had them.

Moving force will be passing through at
3 .06.

All we have to do is keep the track
clear for 20 minutes.

So the Fifth Army is safe?

Safe.

Safe as any army can ever be in war,
Captain.

That's given them something to think
about.

Their defenses are down, Count.

I'm going in low to make sure we hit the
track. Where's the Aurora?

She's above us, Captain, but still not
attempting to attack.

You were right, Count.

Fog is putting the woman's life above
his duty.

Observer, the Count is waiting for you.

Commander, up there, Jules Verne, armed.

The fool, has he no sense at all?

Shall I give the order, Commander?

Sharpshooters to the upper deck!

Sharpshooters to the upper deck!

You are late, observer.

I had expected you back on board hours
ago.

Well, you see, Count, I had to spend
rather a long time doing my makeup.

This is doing you a gargoyle.

Tell them to bring Saratoga Brown here
immediately and stop the bombing.

You are a fool, sir.

You have a small mind.

Something vital I hope.

Bring the woman down here.

Now!

Release her.

Then get out.

And shut the hatch behind you.

Do as he says!

But now I can give it the personal
touch.

The energy is required to hold my
constrictional parts together.

prodigious Mr. Fogg.

Effort can only be sustained for a short
while.

However, let me assure you that brief
though this period may be, it will be

quite long enough to dispatch you back.

allow you to die with a measure of pride

which is not my intention

Thank you, Elliot.

Thank you for everything.

Everything?

Ah, but Saratoga.

It's what I want to ask you for.

Well, if you did, my reply would be...

So began our close involvement with the
American Civil War, when we all began to

learn that the costs of war are higher
than any of us.

Even the strongest can ever afford to
pay.
