1
00:00:30,099 --> 00:00:31,755
ROSE:
She's so, so pretty.
2
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:34,620
-What you gonna call her?
-July.
3
00:00:34,655 --> 00:00:37,785
-Yes, yes, I'll take her.
-Massa, no, no. Massa, please. -Be off!
4
00:00:37,893 --> 00:00:41,040
NIMROD:
Morning, Miss July. My,
5
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:43,629
-how you all grow up.
-Morning, Mr. Nimrod.
6
00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:46,907
CAROLINE: You will not ruin
this Christmas dinner for me, John!
7
00:00:46,908 --> 00:00:48,772
It is high time
we had some fun!
8
00:00:48,807 --> 00:00:51,016
What's going on?
9
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:52,706
MILITIA MAN:
The slaves are burning down the plantations.
10
00:00:52,707 --> 00:00:54,951
NIMROD:
This island ablaze.
11
00:01:03,787 --> 00:01:05,789
Mama?
12
00:01:05,824 --> 00:01:08,585
ROSE:
You have a fine son.
13
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:10,104
JULY:
A new slave.
14
00:01:10,139 --> 00:01:12,726
Soon taken.
15
00:01:12,727 --> 00:01:14,694
Mrs. Mortimer?
Robert Goodwin at your service.
16
00:01:14,695 --> 00:01:16,214
In just a few days, slavery,
17
00:01:16,248 --> 00:01:20,010
that dreadful evil,
will be finally abolished.
18
00:01:26,189 --> 00:01:29,123
OLD JULY:
Look at her.
19
00:01:29,158 --> 00:01:32,851
The loss of her mama
and of her baby boy
20
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:36,613
almost finish that girl.
21
00:01:36,682 --> 00:01:39,133
Yet her hair be braided neat,
22
00:01:39,168 --> 00:01:44,483
her dress clean,
her face straight.
23
00:01:46,796 --> 00:01:50,350
Only deep within
them black, black eyes
24
00:01:50,351 --> 00:01:53,147
might you catch
a flash of pain,
25
00:01:53,182 --> 00:01:57,047
swift as a doll with two faces.
26
00:01:59,602 --> 00:02:01,673
But upon
this particular evening,
27
00:02:01,707 --> 00:02:05,815
if you watch her close- come.
28
00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:09,681
You might see her smile.
29
00:02:13,409 --> 00:02:15,618
[fireworks exploding
in distance]
30
00:02:15,687 --> 00:02:17,827
[roosters clucking]
31
00:02:17,861 --> 00:02:20,209
Oh, what on Earth
was all that noise?
32
00:02:20,243 --> 00:02:22,763
JULY:
Big party, missus.
33
00:02:23,798 --> 00:02:26,525
Everywhere. All over the island.
34
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:32,082
For... me is now free.
35
00:02:32,117 --> 00:02:36,190
OLD JULY: Of course,
freedom come at a price.
36
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:39,780
For the new queen in England
say that compensation
37
00:02:39,849 --> 00:02:43,301
must be paid
to the slave owners, of course.
38
00:02:43,335 --> 00:02:47,201
Come, Caroline even teach July
to read and write
39
00:02:47,236 --> 00:02:51,687
to keep track of this big,
big money coming in.
40
00:02:51,688 --> 00:02:53,207
Molly!
41
00:02:53,242 --> 00:02:55,796
OLD JULY: And for the slaves,
what they get?
42
00:02:57,349 --> 00:02:59,662
Nothing. Not a penny.
43
00:03:01,422 --> 00:03:04,804
-[sighs]
-No matter how July rise up
44
00:03:04,805 --> 00:03:07,152
above all the other
houseworkers...
45
00:03:08,464 --> 00:03:11,881
...still she get nothing.
46
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:18,681
What good be free...
47
00:03:18,715 --> 00:03:20,130
if nothing change?
48
00:03:20,165 --> 00:03:22,029
JULY:
Leave it. Let me do it.
49
00:03:22,098 --> 00:03:23,962
Go.
50
00:03:23,996 --> 00:03:25,964
Get out, go on,
before him come.
51
00:03:25,998 --> 00:03:28,138
[rooster crows, birds chirping]
52
00:03:32,798 --> 00:03:34,800
Are we quite ready?
53
00:03:34,835 --> 00:03:37,976
-All ready, missus, all ready.
-Good.
54
00:03:40,461 --> 00:03:41,704
[exhales]:
Oh.
55
00:03:41,738 --> 00:03:43,257
It's such a relief
56
00:03:43,292 --> 00:03:46,260
to have a true gentleman
come to us as overseer.
57
00:03:46,295 --> 00:03:48,780
-At last, company worth keeping.
-Mrs. Mortimer?
58
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:51,471
There you are, Mr. Goodwin.
59
00:03:51,472 --> 00:03:53,059
Do take a seat.
60
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:54,958
Oh, thank you.
61
00:03:54,993 --> 00:03:57,926
I hope your accommodation
is satisfactory?
62
00:03:57,927 --> 00:04:00,170
It's most satisfactory,
thank you.
63
00:04:00,205 --> 00:04:02,449
No, my needs are few.
64
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:03,966
In fact, I've just been making
65
00:04:03,967 --> 00:04:05,347
my preliminary inspection
of the estate.
66
00:04:05,348 --> 00:04:06,763
[laughs]:
Oh.
67
00:04:06,798 --> 00:04:09,179
How very industrious of you.
68
00:04:09,214 --> 00:04:10,802
Bring the tea, Marguerite.
69
00:04:10,803 --> 00:04:12,216
Yes, but I must say,
Mrs. Mortimer,
70
00:04:12,217 --> 00:04:14,909
the, uh, plantation
is by no means running
71
00:04:14,944 --> 00:04:17,084
as efficiently as it could.
72
00:04:17,085 --> 00:04:19,465
And the workers' accommodation,
that's in a dreadful state.
73
00:04:19,466 --> 00:04:22,088
I've never seen such a number of
miserable Black people before.
74
00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:24,264
CAROLINE:
Oh, is that so?
75
00:04:25,506 --> 00:04:27,267
I had no idea.
76
00:04:29,890 --> 00:04:31,857
[clattering]
77
00:04:31,926 --> 00:04:33,859
Since my brother died,
I'm afraid
78
00:04:33,894 --> 00:04:36,862
I've found it quite,
um, quite a struggle
79
00:04:36,897 --> 00:04:39,865
-to manage the estate on my own.
-Well, of course,
80
00:04:39,866 --> 00:04:41,314
but in my opinion,
Mrs. Mortimer,
81
00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:42,868
the well-being of the workers
82
00:04:42,903 --> 00:04:45,008
is the key to the success
of a plantation.
83
00:04:45,043 --> 00:04:46,838
Really?
84
00:04:46,872 --> 00:04:48,390
Absolutely, madam.
85
00:04:48,391 --> 00:04:50,841
In fact, my first suggestion
would be to tell the workers
86
00:04:50,842 --> 00:04:52,325
how fairly you intend
to treat them,
87
00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:55,017
especially now they're free
to leave if they wish.
88
00:04:55,018 --> 00:04:58,056
Are you quite, q-quite sure
about that, Mr. Goodw-
89
00:04:58,090 --> 00:04:59,506
Pour the tea, Marguerite.
90
00:04:59,540 --> 00:05:02,440
Milk or lemon, massa?
91
00:05:02,509 --> 00:05:06,478
Uh, milk, if you please.
92
00:05:06,547 --> 00:05:09,895
Yes, I believe wholeheartedly
that slavery is an abomination.
93
00:05:09,964 --> 00:05:11,897
It's...
The Negroes need kindness.
94
00:05:11,898 --> 00:05:13,346
That's what my father told me.
95
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:14,796
"Take kindness to them, Robert,
96
00:05:14,797 --> 00:05:17,282
and then you will have
their love and respect."
97
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,180
Thank you.
98
00:05:20,872 --> 00:05:23,875
Yes, my father is a man of God,
you see, Mrs. Mortimer.
99
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:27,292
It was his wish
that I come to Jamaica and help
100
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:30,260
cleanse this stain that slavery
has placed upon England.
101
00:05:30,295 --> 00:05:32,297
I see.
102
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:36,439
-Mmm.
-And Mrs. Goodwin?
103
00:05:36,508 --> 00:05:38,558
Oh, my mother
passed away some years ago.
104
00:05:38,579 --> 00:05:40,547
[laughs]
I meant...
105
00:05:40,581 --> 00:05:42,549
[exhales]
106
00:05:42,583 --> 00:05:45,828
I don't mean to pry...
107
00:05:45,862 --> 00:05:47,208
ROBERT:
Oh, um...
108
00:05:47,243 --> 00:05:49,210
No, I've not yet
taken a wife myself.
109
00:05:49,245 --> 00:05:50,315
[titters]
110
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,904
My father encouraged me
to find my vocation first.
111
00:05:52,938 --> 00:05:55,009
Oh, that's very wise, yes.
112
00:05:55,044 --> 00:05:57,218
Leave us, Marguerite.
113
00:05:58,634 --> 00:06:00,393
Yes, thank you, Marguerite.
114
00:06:00,394 --> 00:06:02,983
Thank
you, massa.
115
00:06:05,345 --> 00:06:09,506
CAROLINE:
I think he found me very charming.
116
00:06:09,507 --> 00:06:11,371
Mmm.
117
00:06:11,405 --> 00:06:15,340
His long elegant fingers,
I bet he plays piano well.
118
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,617
Hmm.
119
00:06:16,652 --> 00:06:19,344
He comes from
a very good family.
120
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,623
Even has a baronet
on his mother's side.
121
00:06:22,658 --> 00:06:26,869
[exhales]: Oh, and sparkling,
bluest eyes you've- All right!
122
00:06:26,903 --> 00:06:29,353
That's enough, Marguerite.
You may rinse.
123
00:06:29,354 --> 00:06:30,528
[exhales]
124
00:06:30,562 --> 00:06:33,358
-[bird chitters]
-Mmm.
125
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:35,395
He's very tall, isn't he?
126
00:06:35,464 --> 00:06:38,673
Very broad. Tall and broad.
127
00:06:38,674 --> 00:06:40,986
He's handsome.
128
00:06:44,917 --> 00:06:48,476
[Caroline speaking indistinctly]
129
00:06:48,477 --> 00:06:50,479
Are you listening, girl?
130
00:06:50,548 --> 00:06:55,103
I were just thinking about
what the overseer did say,
131
00:06:55,104 --> 00:07:00,005
that me can leave you now.
132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,456
Any time me want.
133
00:07:02,491 --> 00:07:04,631
Well, where would you go? Hmm?
134
00:07:04,665 --> 00:07:06,356
Have you thought about that?
135
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:08,980
I mean, who would protect you?
No, no, no.
136
00:07:08,981 --> 00:07:10,567
-You'd starve, surely.
-[scoffs]
137
00:07:10,568 --> 00:07:13,916
You have a very easy life of it
here, I can assure you that.
138
00:07:13,917 --> 00:07:15,917
Most other workers
on other plantations...
139
00:07:15,918 --> 00:07:19,473
Oh! Oh!
140
00:07:21,475 --> 00:07:25,997
Oh, bugger it. Bugger it!
141
00:07:25,998 --> 00:07:27,307
OLD JULY:
Not all the Negroes
142
00:07:27,308 --> 00:07:29,483
were present
to hear Robert Goodwin
143
00:07:29,518 --> 00:07:31,520
when he did first address them.
144
00:07:31,589 --> 00:07:34,039
Some already pack up
and fled that plantation
145
00:07:34,074 --> 00:07:36,973
to seek work elsewhere.
146
00:07:36,974 --> 00:07:39,527
Others were still laid upon
their beds with heads
147
00:07:39,528 --> 00:07:44,912
too sore to listen
on no bakra man.
148
00:07:44,947 --> 00:07:48,191
He jump on top of the barrel.
149
00:07:48,192 --> 00:07:50,227
-Come in, come in, come in.
-[indistinct chatter]
150
00:07:50,228 --> 00:07:51,367
Come in.
151
00:07:51,368 --> 00:07:54,300
Come in, come in,
come in, come in.
152
00:07:54,301 --> 00:07:58,408
Mm. Him surely have some
fine, fine boots upon him foot.
153
00:07:58,443 --> 00:08:00,997
Hmm. Not a spot of mud.
154
00:08:01,032 --> 00:08:03,206
Well, good morning to you all.
155
00:08:03,241 --> 00:08:05,312
-[murmured greetings]
-Good morning.
156
00:08:05,346 --> 00:08:07,452
Now, as you're all
no doubt well aware,
157
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:11,318
your mistress Mrs. Mortimer,
has, by the grace of God,
158
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,664
-granted you your freedom.
-[scattered cheers]
159
00:08:13,665 --> 00:08:15,183
-Freedom!
-But listen, listen.
160
00:08:15,184 --> 00:08:17,117
You must remember
that the houses
161
00:08:17,151 --> 00:08:20,016
you live in,
they don't belong to you.
162
00:08:20,085 --> 00:08:22,255
No, they're the property
of your mistress.
163
00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:26,505
So, if you don't labor for your
mistress as you've done before,
164
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:29,060
then you can't expect
to remain in your homes.
165
00:08:29,094 --> 00:08:30,993
-[scattered grumbles]
-However...
166
00:08:31,027 --> 00:08:32,546
Mm-mm. Him not tell truth.
167
00:08:32,581 --> 00:08:35,204
Queen did command
we stay in our house.
168
00:08:35,238 --> 00:08:38,413
-Hush up, me want to hear.
-Don't-a hush me.
169
00:08:38,414 --> 00:08:40,658
...to work as before
will be paid a fair wage.
170
00:08:40,692 --> 00:08:44,213
Out of which you must pay
a small rent for your homes.
171
00:08:44,247 --> 00:08:46,146
Now, I know that some workers
172
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:49,356
have already left
and your number is depleted.
173
00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:53,118
Therefore, we need those good
souls remaining to work hard,
174
00:08:53,153 --> 00:08:56,259
so that the plantation
of Amity may thrive
175
00:08:56,328 --> 00:09:00,332
and prosper once more
for your esteemed mistress.
176

00:39:45,866 --> 00:39:47,523
I need to, um...
717
00:39:47,592 --> 00:39:49,835
go over the books with Jackson.
718
00:39:49,870 --> 00:39:52,079
It's been so very long
719
00:39:52,113 --> 00:39:55,738
since we had
an evening together, husband.
720
00:39:55,772 --> 00:39:58,119
It's been months.
721
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,362
You wouldn't see the place go
to rack and ruin,
722
00:40:00,363 --> 00:40:02,192
-would you?
-Mm. No, of course not.
723
00:40:02,261 --> 00:40:03,849
I... do think that...
724
00:40:03,918 --> 00:40:06,507
Then perhaps tomorrow evening.
725
00:40:16,517 --> 00:40:18,243
Clear these, Marguerite.
726
00:40:18,277 --> 00:40:19,831
Yes, missus.
727
00:40:24,387 --> 00:40:27,459
My dear, you do know
that Marguerite is not her name?
728
00:40:27,494 --> 00:40:29,185
What?
729
00:40:29,254 --> 00:40:32,015
No, her name's Miss July.
730
00:40:32,016 --> 00:40:33,533
[Caroline takes deep breath]
731
00:40:33,534 --> 00:40:36,951
Well, I've always known her
as Marguerite.
732
00:40:36,986 --> 00:40:38,539
Ever since she was a tiny girl.
733
00:40:38,574 --> 00:40:41,369
Nevertheless,
that's not her name, is it?
734
00:40:41,404 --> 00:40:42,543
Her name is Miss July.
735
00:40:42,578 --> 00:40:44,545
So we should address her
as such.
736
00:40:44,580 --> 00:40:46,167
Miss
July?
737
00:40:46,202 --> 00:40:50,033
Am I expected to take tea
with her of an afternoon?
738
00:40:50,068 --> 00:40:51,483
Shake her hand?
739
00:40:51,484 --> 00:40:53,346
[laughs]:
Inquire about her family?
740
00:40:53,347 --> 00:40:55,757
Caroline, could you speak
in a lower register?
741
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:01,044
Missus.
742
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,570
And for you, massa.
743
00:41:09,605 --> 00:41:12,193
Thank you, Miss July.
744
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:16,557
Miss July?
745
00:41:18,372 --> 00:41:21,582
Do we have any pickle
to go with this cheese?
746
00:41:21,617 --> 00:41:23,239
Surely, massa.
747
00:41:23,273 --> 00:41:26,380
What kind of pickle you want?
748
00:41:26,414 --> 00:41:28,415
Um...
749
00:41:28,416 --> 00:41:31,074
something hot, I think.
750
00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:34,353
We only have sweet, massa.
751
00:41:35,423 --> 00:41:37,564
But I can get hot pickle
in the market.
752
00:41:37,565 --> 00:41:39,599
-[takes deep breath]
-Miss Essie, she have
753
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,396
-the best hot pepper pickle
in town. -Does she, now?
754
00:41:42,397 --> 00:41:43,430
Mm.
755
00:41:43,431 --> 00:41:45,537
Well, I'd very much like
to taste
756
00:41:45,572 --> 00:41:47,435
her hot pepper pickle.
757
00:41:50,577 --> 00:41:52,544
[chuckles softly]

[snickers]
759
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:56,099
Come and sit with us.
760
00:41:59,620 --> 00:42:02,105
What could possibly be the harm?
761
00:42:05,453 --> 00:42:06,696
Come and sit down.
762
00:42:06,731 --> 00:42:09,078
-No! No! No! No!
-[slams table]
763
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:12,184
Thank you, massa,
764
00:42:12,219 --> 00:42:14,532
but me must return
to the kitchen.
765
00:42:19,157 --> 00:42:21,953
-[insects trilling]
-[July laughing]
766
00:42:22,781 --> 00:42:24,472
Stop it.

[laughs]:
Stop it.
768
00:42:29,408 --> 00:42:30,582
H...
769
00:42:30,617 --> 00:42:32,170
Get off, you.

-[playful groaning]
-JULY: Aw.
771
00:42:35,311 --> 00:42:39,557
Mm-hmm, you want
to play games? Mm-hmm.

[Robert snorts]
773
00:42:43,871 --> 00:42:45,321
Hmm.
774
00:42:48,358 --> 00:42:50,464
-[laughs]: Well, stand up.
-Ah.
775
00:42:50,533 --> 00:42:53,329
-Some sleeves. Mm-hmm.
-Oh, yes, please, yes.
776

[Robert chuckles]
777
00:43:00,439 --> 00:43:03,235
-I look like a beekeeper.
-[laughing]
778
00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:05,652
Why are you making me
your beekeeper?
779
00:43:07,688 --> 00:43:10,311
So you can go out and work hard.
780
00:43:11,416 --> 00:43:13,349
You know,
I've never been happier
781
00:43:13,418 --> 00:43:15,558
than in this room with you.
782
00:43:18,181 --> 00:43:20,563
You are my true wife, July.
783
00:43:22,358 --> 00:43:26,534
And you are
my big, big, blue-eyed husband.
784

00:43:30,469 --> 00:43:32,126
Mm.
786
00:43:32,161 --> 00:43:33,714
To work, then.
787
00:43:33,715 --> 00:43:35,784
JULY:
Mm-hmm.
788
00:43:35,785 --> 00:43:37,415
ROBERT:
Have I got everything?
789
00:43:37,442 --> 00:43:38,857
Don't be long.

00:43:40,445 --> 00:43:41,825
Come back!

How's everything on my estate?
796
00:43:50,489 --> 00:43:53,389
Good morning, Mr. Goodwin.
797
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:56,322
ROBERT: This field should be
finished by now, surely, no?
798
00:43:56,323 --> 00:43:58,601
Where are the others?
799
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:00,810
Since they've been freed,
800
00:44:00,845 --> 00:44:02,398
the lazier they've got.
801
00:44:02,432 --> 00:44:05,366
Well, send someone to find them,
and get them to work.
802
00:44:05,401 --> 00:44:07,211
We can't afford
to let things slip,
803
00:44:07,230 --> 00:44:08,922
even for a few days.
804
00:44:08,956 --> 00:44:10,820
Savvy?

It was not long after the birth of Emily
857
00:47:54,802 --> 00:47:57,978
that Amity's fortunes
did flounder
858
00:47:58,013 --> 00:48:01,913

with the new massa begin.

Now, as you know,

00:48:26,732 --> 00:48:29,008
three fields of cane are ready
to be taken off.
863
00:48:29,009 --> 00:48:30,907
So we must work quickly
to get the job done.
864
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:34,428
However, since there are fewer
of you working here now,
865
00:48:34,463 --> 00:48:36,706
I will need you all
to work seven
866
00:48:36,707 --> 00:48:38,017
full days a week from now on.

man and woman, understand?
870
00:48:44,887 --> 00:48:48,235
Must work seven days a week,
otherwise the crop will spoil.

-It be Christmas.
-We promise
872
00:48:50,203 --> 00:48:51,998
-time off!
-Yes, no, I know that.
873
00:48:52,067 --> 00:48:54,966
The crop is ready now,
so we must harvest now.
874
00:48:55,001 --> 00:48:57,711
If we wait until after
Christmas, the crop will spoil.
875
00:48:57,727 --> 00:48:59,660
-You see?
-But me go see my wife.
876
00:48:59,729 --> 00:49:02,594
Massa, five days a week
we work for you.

00:49:02,629 --> 00:49:04,010
DUBLIN:
Five days it be.
878
00:49:04,011 --> 00:49:05,217
Yes, but five days is not enough
879
00:49:05,218 --> 00:49:07,185
to take off a sugar crop, is it?
880
00:49:07,220 --> 00:49:09,601
The cane will rot in the fields.
881
00:49:11,638 --> 00:49:14,503
Come, James,
you're a good Negro.
882
00:49:14,572 --> 00:49:16,608
You know this to be true.
883
00:49:16,643 --> 00:49:18,679
Tell you what, massa.
884
00:49:18,714 --> 00:49:22,061
Every one of us in health,
we work five days for you.
885
00:49:22,062 --> 00:49:24,098
-And we work hard.
-[workers murmuring]
886
00:49:24,099 --> 00:49:25,548
No, it must be seven days.

Do you hear me, boy?
888
00:49:29,690 --> 00:49:32,383
[clears throat]
Just until the crop's in.
889
00:49:34,212 --> 00:49:37,215
Yes, massa,
me did hear you, but...
890
00:49:37,250 --> 00:49:40,183
me said five days!
891
00:49:40,184 --> 00:49:42,048
We must have Christmas off.
892
00:49:42,082 --> 00:49:43,704
PEGGY:
Five days only!
893
00:49:43,705 --> 00:49:46,051
-We work hard five days.
-Yes, but remember, if you
894
00:49:46,052 --> 00:49:49,089
do not work when required,
then you will not be paid.
895
00:49:49,124 --> 00:49:52,299
If you cannot pay your rent,
you cannot stay in your homes.

-Our queen tell us we stay in we house!
897

Yes, but all free people,

they all work for wages, as and
when required by their masters.

00:51:28,878 --> 00:51:31,053
about the Christmas working.
923
00:51:32,882 --> 00:51:35,644
Maybe it help if you just
talk to the workers.
924
00:51:35,678 --> 00:51:37,335
I've talked to them.
925
00:51:37,370 --> 00:51:39,026
[Emily babbling]
926
00:51:39,027 --> 00:51:41,407
And I've always treated
them well, so I don't know why
927
00:51:41,408 --> 00:51:42,753
they're being so disobedient.
928
00:51:42,754 --> 00:51:45,309
'Cause, husband,
it be Christmas.
929
00:51:45,343 --> 00:51:47,138
Them want to see them family.
930
00:51:47,139 --> 00:51:49,898
-Them want to work them gardens.
-Well, I can't help that, July.
931
00:51:49,899 --> 00:51:51,867
The crop's ready now.
It's ready now!
932
00:51:51,901 --> 00:51:54,697
Yeah, but Mary Ellis have
her son Alfred come.

First time since him

for many, many months.
936
00:52:02,222 --> 00:52:04,224
Yes, but they...
937
00:52:04,225 --> 00:52:06,052
they can visit them-
that's the point.
938
00:52:06,053 --> 00:52:08,711
They can visit them
after the crop's in.
939
00:52:08,746 --> 00:52:12,853
Yes, yes, but for that,
them must trust you.
940
00:52:14,096 --> 00:52:16,202
Many white massas
not tell the truth.
941
00:52:16,271 --> 00:52:17,754
Them tell lie.
942
00:52:17,755 --> 00:52:19,722
-When have I-?
-You is different.
943
00:52:21,448 --> 00:52:24,174
I know you be different.
944
00:52:24,175 --> 00:52:26,764
So show them.

[indistinct chatter]
946
00:52:57,829 --> 00:52:59,140
Ezra.
947

How are you? Are you well?
948
00:53:01,419 --> 00:53:02,627
Well, massa?
949
00:53:02,662 --> 00:53:05,699
Yes, because I have
a proposition for you.
950
00:53:05,734 --> 00:53:08,702
If you were to work seven days
a week for me,
951
00:53:08,737 --> 00:53:10,428
I would pay you
a very good wage.
952
00:53:10,463 --> 00:53:13,224
And I would give you time off
once you finished.
953
00:53:13,225 --> 00:53:15,294
Now how about that?
What do you say to that?
954
00:53:15,295 --> 00:53:17,677
But, massa,
me no can work Christmas.
955
00:53:17,711 --> 00:53:19,368

Yes, yes.
959
00:53:24,787 --> 00:53:26,306
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
960
00:53:26,307 --> 00:53:27,927
Yes, you could,
you could visit them
961
00:53:27,928 --> 00:53:30,517

that's my point.
962
00:53:30,552 --> 00:53:32,623
Hey!
963
00:53:32,657 --> 00:53:35,764
Come on, Ezra, will you not

964
00:53:35,798 --> 00:53:38,593
Come on, say you will

Peggy, of course, of course.
971
00:53:54,127 --> 00:53:56,198
Now you'd be willing

-for me, wouldn't you? Yes.
-[Peggy groaning]

Is that not correct, Dublin?
985
00:54:25,262 --> 00:54:27,643
This is for the good of us all.
