1
00:02:11,264 --> 00:02:14,600
John: the french have captured
over 300 of our trading vessels.
2
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:17,069
The captain of the cincinnatus
3
00:02:17,103 --> 00:02:18,971
Was subjected to torture.
4
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:21,774
The details are barbaric.
5
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,976
There has been a gross misunderstanding
6
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:25,944
With france that i must reconcile.
7
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:29,014
You made a devil's
pact with the british,
8
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:30,749
Their sworn enemy.
9
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:33,152
And ours, i'd thought.
10
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,322
It may be difficult,
thomas, if not impossible,
11
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:39,024
For me to maintain neutrality,
12
00:02:39,059 --> 00:02:42,928
But to be drawn into war
with either france or england
13
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:46,065
When our own confederation
is still so fragile
14
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:47,866
Would be suicidal.
15
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:49,968
It could bankrupt the nation,
16
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,004
Divide the people even further,
17
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,006
Lead god knows where.
18
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,108
Now i am of a mind to send
19
00:02:56,142 --> 00:02:58,243
An envoy extraordinary
20
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:00,879
To strengthen our hand in dealing
with the french government.
21
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:04,116
And i can think of no one
more qualified to engage
22
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:06,685
With foreign minister
talleyrand than yourself.
23
00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:12,157
And nothing would give
me greater pleasure
24
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,360
Than to rekindle our partnership.
25
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,697
Some may say you seek to remove a rival
26
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:20,265
For public office.
27
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,267
Well, let them prattle.
28
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:24,069
As a known friend of france,
29
00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:26,538
Your presence would reflect
our seriousness of purpose.
30
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:28,107
No one can object to that.
31
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,743
I cannot accept this commission.
32
00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:39,885
Do you tell me this as my vice president
33
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:42,054
Or as the head of your party?
34
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,962
That you and i differ
35
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:53,165
On our assessment of the
best form of government
36
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:55,734
For these states united
is well-Known to us both.
37
00:03:55,769 --> 00:03:59,138
Yes, but we have only
differed as friends should do,
38
00:03:59,172 --> 00:04:01,840
Respecting the purity
of each other's motives.
39
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,243
Oh, surely you and i, thomas,
40
00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:06,311
Can rise above the din of politics.
41
00:04:06,346 --> 00:04:09,715
Nowhere is the din of politics greater
42
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:11,183
Than in your own cabinet
43
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,652
Which you have inherited from washington
44
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:16,021
Without making a single change.
45
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,024
( Whispers ) they are hamilton's men.
46
00:04:20,393 --> 00:04:22,561
They are determined upon a
course of war with france.
47
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:24,863
Well, i am equally determined
48
00:04:24,898 --> 00:04:26,565
To prevent such a course...
49
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:31,203
If you would stand by me.
50
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:32,805
Will you not help me in this?
51
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,441
The threat to our revolution
52
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:37,076
Does not come from paris,
53
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,078
It comes from within.
54
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,013
Put your own house in order.
55
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:44,483
You once told me...
56
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:46,518
That i would always
have your friendship.
57
00:04:46,553 --> 00:04:49,021
- You have it now.
- Yes, but not your support!
58
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:54,393
Not your support.
59
00:04:55,528 --> 00:04:57,296
Well, i will not trouble you again.
60
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:01,633
Good day to you, thomas.
61
00:05:02,535 --> 00:05:04,136
And you, john.
62
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:19,585
( Theme music playing )
63
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:24,176
- ( Chatting )
- ( Carriages rattling )
64
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,851
Mchenry: the french have
made their intentions plain.
65
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:35,888
The yarmouth out of
baltimore was fired upon,
66
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:38,991
Its cargo impounded as british.
67
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:41,460
American seamen were wounded.
68
00:07:41,494 --> 00:07:44,463
War is inevitable, sir.
69
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,599
No, war is never inevitable.
70
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:51,403
It must be the course of last resort.
71
00:07:52,739 --> 00:07:55,641
How great would be the
guilt of an unnecessary war?
72
00:07:57,177 --> 00:08:00,245
I intend to steer an impartial course...
73
00:08:02,182 --> 00:08:04,483
As general washington wished.
74
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,255
We cannot rely on mr. Marshall
75
00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:12,458
Finding any success on
his mission to paris.
76
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:15,194
That is very possible, mr. Wolcott.
77
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:16,962
That's very possible.
78
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:19,565
So while we are attempti
to adjust our differences
79
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:21,233
Through amicable means,
80
00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:23,836
We can take measures for our defense.
81
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:29,108
Such measures will cloak
our envoy in strength
82
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,443
And give weight to our dipmatic mission
83
00:08:31,478 --> 00:08:34,646
And, uh... i think command
the appropriate respect.
84
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:37,816
Nothing will command respect
better than a provisional army.
85
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:40,185
The state militias are
insufficient protection.
86
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,021
I think it's rather too soon
87
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:44,156
To be speaking of armies, mr. Mchenry.
88
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:48,027
Rather, we should
concentrate on our navy.
89
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:50,796
I refer to arming our
merchant ships for defense,
90
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:52,531
Bolstering our harbors for defense,
91
00:08:52,565 --> 00:08:53,832
Building frigates.
92
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,869
- If i may,
sir-- - Yes.
93
00:08:56,903 --> 00:09:00,472
Mr. Hamilton regards an
army as most essential.
94
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:09,982
Yes, well, i remind
you that mr. Hamilton
95
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:11,550
Is no longer an officer
96
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,252
In this government.
97
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:17,156
And i have no need of outside counsel.
98
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,958
With respect, mr. President,
you spent most of the war abroad.
99
00:09:21,327 --> 00:09:23,696
Mr. Mchenry and i had
the privilege to serve
100
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:25,764
With mr. Hamilton in the army
101
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:27,399
And in the
previous cabinet--
102
00:09:27,434 --> 00:09:29,435
104
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:35,107
In your present positions
in the interest of...
105
00:09:37,177 --> 00:09:38,844
National unity.
106
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:43,682
So this cabinet would oblige
me by respecting my wishes...
107
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:48,921
As it did with general washington.
108
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:02,001
You have labored over the same page
109
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:03,669
For the last half-Hour.
110
00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:08,173
Is that so?
111
00:10:09,175 --> 00:10:10,809
I was not aware.
112
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:25,424
My thoughts are so clear to me.
113
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:30,863
Each one takes perfect shape
114
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:32,998
Within my mind.
115
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,036
But when i speak, when i...
116
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:38,937
Offer them to others...
117
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:45,177
They seem to lose all definition.
118
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:49,448
It is not your words
that are at fault, john.
119
00:10:51,051 --> 00:10:53,786
It is the bias of
those to whom you speak
120
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,188
That distorts what you would say.
121
00:10:56,222 --> 00:10:58,057
A bias.
122
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:02,895
We cannot survive a
war, this country--
123
00:11:02,929 --> 00:11:05,330
No
no--
124
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:08,200
Neither with england nor france.
125
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:10,536
You see, that fact should be paramount,
126
00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:12,404
But it takes last place,
127
00:11:12,439 --> 00:11:15,708
Outweighed by these
factional concerns...
128
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:19,845
And by the ambitions of men
129
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:21,680
( Crying ) who ought to be
130
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:25,250
United with me in this cause.
131
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,493
Thomas.
132
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:41,367
I am bereft of counsel when
i am most in need of it.
133
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:45,070
You are hardly bereft of counsel.
134
00:11:47,574 --> 00:11:50,776
Hold firm to the course
that you have set.
135
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:53,779
And if war comes, john...
136
00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:56,915
We must be prepared.
137
00:11:57,817 --> 00:12:00,619
You must be prepared.
138
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:12,264
Bereft of counsel.
139
00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:15,634
( Kissing )
140
00:12:21,675 --> 00:12:24,309
May i be among the first
to offer you my support
141
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,345
In this difficult time for our country?
142
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:28,847
Should it come to war with france,
143
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:32,317
I would be honored to serve
on the army's general staff.
144
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:37,322
The army, hmm?
145
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:43,128
Well, should such
a necessity arise--
146
00:12:43,163 --> 00:12:44,563
Excuse
me--
147
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,231
The senate will vote on those matters.
148
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,734
I will not influence their decision
one way or the other, colonel.
149
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:51,203
I ask you only to
vouchsafe my character, sir.
150
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:53,439
That i can no longer do.
151
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:57,876
- I beg your pardon?
- That i can no longer do.
152
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,516
Fetch me my folio, colonel.
153
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:07,686
Certainly, sir.
154
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:21,800
No doubt you are a fine soldier
155
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:23,469
And were an able secretary to me, sir,
156
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:25,671
But you have bankrupted yourself
157
00:13:25,705 --> 00:13:27,373
In the pursuit of easy riches.
158
00:13:27,407 --> 00:13:29,441
You reputation is much damaged.
159
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,677
I own that i have made some...
160
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:35,214
Poor investments, but i am
hardly alone in that misfortune.
161
00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:37,282
If you had applied yourself
to steady employment
162
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:38,717
In a respectable
occupation--
163
00:13:38,752 --> 00:13:41,153
Perhaps if you had shown some
regard for my advancement,
164
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:43,522
Such employment might have
been more easily found.
165
00:13:45,592 --> 00:13:47,793
God.
166
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,862
You have the temerity to blame me?
167
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:51,930
A word from you would
have done me much good.
168
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,433
I will not and cannot
countenance your ceaseless efforts
169
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:56,035
To trade on our family name!
170
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:58,871
You have had no hesitation in finding
preferment for your own sons...
171
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:02,608
Whether they have
merited the effort or not.
172
00:14:09,983 --> 00:14:13,352
I have nothing more to
say to you, sir. Good day.
173
00:14:22,929 --> 00:14:24,496
( Door slams )
174
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:26,398
( Women giggle )
175
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:33,339
I'm afraid i must beg your indulgence
longer than i expected, mrs. Adams.
176
00:14:34,474 --> 00:14:36,008
I would consider it a great favor
177
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:38,744
Ify wife and children
could remain at peacefield.
178
00:14:38,778 --> 00:14:40,346
I care not for my own comfort,
179
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,848
But it would pain me greatly
180
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:45,184
To see them suffer
because of my failures.
181
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:49,521
Of course.
182
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:51,423
The moment i am able...
183
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:53,225
I shall take their care upon myself.
184
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:57,162
William, i-- I
do not understand.
185
00:15:01,101 --> 00:15:03,035
I must leave you.
186
00:15:03,069 --> 00:15:05,637
Leave us? Why?
187
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,476
My... disappointments
188
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:12,878
Have blackened my name,
189
00:15:12,946 --> 00:15:14,680
As your father has made all too clear.
190
00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:19,952
If i am to begin again, it must
be somewhere where i am less known.
191
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:23,889
Where will you go?
192
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:27,126
I have some prospects in the west.
193
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:30,863
The west? William, surely
there must be something--
194
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:32,631
I have no choice, nabby.
195
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:35,901
- William, please.
- I have no choice.
196
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:41,473
- If you will excuse me.
- Please stay, mrs. Adams.
197
00:15:43,043 --> 00:15:45,310
I know your husband is not
alone in his opinion of me.
198
00:15:55,989 --> 00:15:57,556
There is much to do.
199
00:16:01,928 --> 00:16:03,662
Please excuse me.
200
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:27,219
Good god, to treat you with
such contempt, mr. Marshall.
201
00:16:27,253 --> 00:16:29,888
To debase you, our envoy,
202
00:16:29,923 --> 00:16:31,690
In such a vile manner.
203
00:16:31,758 --> 00:16:34,159
Do the french not understand the
consequences of their actions?
204
00:16:34,194 --> 00:16:37,396
Talleyrand all but refused to see us.
205
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:39,131
That bastard.
206
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:41,367
His agents are well
aware you do not want war,
207
00:16:41,368 --> 00:16:44,203
That you intend to preserve
the peace at all costs.
208
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:46,972
Well, their perfidy makes
that course all but impossible.
209
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:49,475
Reason enough, then, not
to release the dispatches.
210
00:16:50,944 --> 00:16:53,379
Yes, but if i do not
release the dispatches,
211
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:55,047
Then mr. Jefferson and his party
212
00:16:55,081 --> 00:16:57,316
Will allege that i am
withholding intelligence
213
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,451
Favorable to the french government
214
00:16:59,486 --> 00:17:01,186
And that will inflame things further.
215
00:17:01,221 --> 00:17:02,855
Yet both seek peace with france.
216
00:17:02,889 --> 00:17:05,357
The vice president would
find we agree on most matters
217
00:17:05,392 --> 00:17:08,060
If he could be convinced
that i mean what i say!
218
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:12,197
So far, i have failed in that task.
219
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,801
In this instance, you share cause.
220
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:18,337
- ( Groans )
- Should you seek his support...
221
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:21,907
You may find him more sympathetic.
222
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:23,342
( Chuckles )
223
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:26,679
"Through his agents,
monsieur talleyrand indicated
224
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:29,515
That for negotiations to proceed
225
00:17:29,582 --> 00:17:33,318
A sum of money was first required
226
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:35,287
For the pockets
of the french--
227
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:44,229
For the pockets of the french
government and its ministers;
228
00:17:44,264 --> 00:17:45,998
That the price would be
229
00:17:46,032 --> 00:17:49,601
$250,000 for himself."
230
00:17:49,636 --> 00:17:52,137
Yes, a "sweetener,"
231
00:17:52,172 --> 00:17:54,173
Monsieur talleyrand calls that.
232
00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:57,176
And, uh, a loan
233
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:58,977
Of $10 million
234
00:17:59,012 --> 00:18:01,613
To demonstrate our good faith.
235
00:18:03,283 --> 00:18:05,217
If monsieur talleyrand
has been indiscreet,
236
00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:07,686
It would be wrong to ascribe blame
237
00:18:07,721 --> 00:18:09,822
To the entire french government.
238
00:18:09,856 --> 00:18:11,557
( Laughing )
239
00:18:14,394 --> 00:18:16,995
Monsieur talleyrand is
240
00:18:17,030 --> 00:18:19,064
The french government.
241
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:21,967
I cannot account for such effrontery...
242
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,907
Unless our envoys had some part
243
00:18:28,942 --> 00:18:31,510
In this... mistake?
244
00:18:31,544 --> 00:18:34,880
Mr. Marshall vouches for the account,
245
00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:37,750
And i know him to be a man of his word.
246
00:18:40,153 --> 00:18:42,321
I am left no ground
247
00:18:42,389 --> 00:18:44,289
On which to expect
our diplomatic mission
248
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:45,758
To be accomplished
249
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:48,260
In terms compatible
with either the safety
250
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:50,095
Or the honor of this nation.
251
00:18:51,898 --> 00:18:55,034
So we must shield ourselves
behind a wall of strength.
252
00:18:56,336 --> 00:18:59,071
Congress is prepared to grant my request
253
00:18:59,105 --> 00:19:00,606
To arm our merchant vessels
254
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,207
And to fortify our harbors.
255
00:19:02,242 --> 00:19:04,343
And?
256
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:07,112
Well, that's not all, is it...
257
00:19:08,014 --> 00:19:09,448
Mr. President?
258
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:15,320
No, should the need arise,
259
00:19:15,355 --> 00:19:18,791
We must be prepared to defend
our borders with an army, yes.
260
00:19:20,694 --> 00:19:23,028
And to that end, i can
think of no man better
261
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:25,698
To lend the notion gravity
than general washington.
262
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:27,833
General washington?
263
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:30,035
Well, he will exercise great caution
264
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:31,870
In deploying it.
265
00:19:36,209 --> 00:19:38,711
He will be a commander in name only.
266
00:19:38,745 --> 00:19:40,479
You must know that.
267
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:43,182
You cannot expect him to
take the field at his age.
268
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:49,254
I know nothing of the
sort, mr. Jefferson, no.
269
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:51,757
General washington will
defer to mr. Hamilton
270
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:53,392
As he always has.
271
00:19:53,393 --> 00:19:56,228
The result will be a provocation
272
00:19:56,262 --> 00:19:58,464
Of the most immense order,
273
00:19:58,498 --> 00:20:00,332
Both here and abroad.
274
00:20:01,568 --> 00:20:04,403
And what precisely is
monsieur talleyrand's
275
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:08,007
Unbridled contempt but a provocation?!
276
00:20:08,074 --> 00:20:11,844
War has been this
administration's policy
277
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:13,679
From the beginning.
278
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:17,182
To try to pretend otherwise
is disingenuous in the extreme.
279
00:20:18,418 --> 00:20:20,486
If there is to be a war,
280
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,054
Mr. Vice president,
281
00:20:22,088 --> 00:20:23,922
It will be france's doing
282
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:25,824
And not mine.
283
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:29,028
Mr. President.
284
00:20:35,101 --> 00:20:38,470
"Exult each
patriot heart--
285
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:40,472
This night is shown
286
00:20:40,507 --> 00:20:41,707
A piece,
287
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:44,977
Which we may fairly call our own...
288
00:20:46,913 --> 00:20:50,149
Our author pictures
not from foreign climes
289
00:20:50,183 --> 00:20:51,817
The fashions, or follies
290
00:20:51,851 --> 00:20:54,253
Of the times;
291
00:20:54,287 --> 00:20:55,821
Why should our thoughts
292
00:20:55,855 --> 00:20:58,624
To distant countries roam,
293
00:20:58,658 --> 00:21:00,926
When each refinement
294
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,829
May be found at home?"
295
00:21:05,899 --> 00:21:08,801
Three cheers for our president!
296
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:10,969
May he, like samson,
297
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:13,105
Slay thousands of frenchmen
298
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:15,407
With the jawbone of jefferson!
299
00:21:15,442 --> 00:21:17,409
- ( Gasps )
- ( Crowd muttering )
300
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:20,512
- Huzzah! Huzzah!
- ( Crowd cheering, applauding )
301
00:21:39,499 --> 00:21:42,768
( Singing patriotic song )
302
00:22:07,427 --> 00:22:10,295
( Whispering ) all of
philadelphia is at your feet.
303
00:22:10,363 --> 00:22:13,198
All of america, it seems.
304
00:22:15,135 --> 00:22:17,302
( Whispering ) they
sing less in praise of me
305
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:18,971
Than they do in outrage at the mendacity
306
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:21,040
Of the french, doctor. Come now.
307
00:22:24,778 --> 00:22:27,713
No no, they will turn
again at a moment's notice,
308
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:29,581
I have no doubt.
309
00:22:29,616 --> 00:22:31,717
A mob is no less a mob
because they are with you.
310
00:22:33,286 --> 00:22:35,387
( Singing )
311
00:22:37,023 --> 00:22:39,892
( Audience singing )
312
00:23:01,247 --> 00:23:03,349
( Crowd applauding )
313
00:23:42,022 --> 00:23:43,822
"The president is hereby empowered
314
00:23:43,857 --> 00:23:45,858
To designate as alien enemies
315
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:48,761
Any citizens or subjects
of hostile nations..."
316
00:23:48,795 --> 00:23:50,629
( Laughs )
317
00:23:50,663 --> 00:23:53,098
"...Residing in the united
states whose presence
318
00:23:53,133 --> 00:23:54,667
He regards as dangerous,
319
00:23:54,701 --> 00:23:56,502
And make regulations
320
00:23:56,536 --> 00:23:58,070
For their apprehension,
321
00:23:58,104 --> 00:24:00,673
Restraint or removal."
322
00:24:06,579 --> 00:24:08,547
Both the house and the senate believe
323
00:24:08,581 --> 00:24:10,649
The country's security requires it, sir.
324
00:24:10,650 --> 00:24:12,184
There are over 25,000 frenchmen
325
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:14,153
In philadelphia
alone, mr. President--
326
00:24:14,154 --> 00:24:16,989
Refugees from the slave
uprisings in the caribbean.
327
00:24:17,057 --> 00:24:19,391
We must assume their
sympathies remain with france
328
00:24:19,426 --> 00:24:21,293
Rather than america.
329
00:24:21,327 --> 00:24:22,895
If war does come, we cannot afford
330
00:24:22,929 --> 00:24:25,798
To harbor potential spies in our midst.
331
00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:32,571
"It shall be a crime to utter or publish
332
00:24:32,605 --> 00:24:35,941
Writings against the
government of the united states
333
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,543
With intent to defame
334
00:24:37,577 --> 00:24:41,080
Or bring it into contempt or disrepute."
335
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:46,719
The majority of the congress
concur with this opinion as well?
336
00:24:46,753 --> 00:24:48,687
Overwhelmingly, sir.
337
00:24:48,722 --> 00:24:51,090
Scandalous and malicious
writing excites hatred
338
00:24:51,124 --> 00:24:52,958
Against our administration
339
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:54,793
And may even foment insurrection.
340
00:24:54,828 --> 00:24:57,863
These two bills are essential
in rooting out our enemies,
341
00:24:57,864 --> 00:24:59,531
Both external and internal.
342
00:25:04,704 --> 00:25:06,638
But aren't we concerned, gentlemen,
343
00:25:06,673 --> 00:25:08,640
That with such acts
344
00:25:08,675 --> 00:25:10,376
We will only further
345
00:25:10,377 --> 00:25:13,245
Embolden these dissenters?
346
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,515
The people of this country
are clamoring for war, sir,
347
00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:18,317
And we must answer them.
348
00:25:19,886 --> 00:25:23,122
No self-Respecting nation
should ever be asked to submit
349
00:25:23,156 --> 00:25:26,225
To the injury, the
outrage and the insult
350
00:25:26,226 --> 00:25:29,194
That the french have
heaped upon us and you.
351
00:25:29,229 --> 00:25:30,829
You must sign them, sir.
352
00:25:30,864 --> 00:25:32,998
I-- I am well
aware of the insult
353
00:25:33,033 --> 00:25:35,567
Delivered to us by the
french, mr. Wolcott.
354
00:25:39,205 --> 00:25:41,240
We-- We must be
prepared for war...
355
00:25:43,176 --> 00:25:45,577
But i am duty-Bound to try for peace.
356
00:25:48,281 --> 00:25:50,849
"The reign of mr. Adams
357
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:53,919
Has hitherto been one continued tempest
358
00:25:53,987 --> 00:25:56,722
Of malignant passions.
359
00:25:56,756 --> 00:25:59,558
As president, he has
never opened his lips
360
00:25:59,592 --> 00:26:01,527
Without threatening or scolding.
361
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:04,863
He is a repulsive pedant,
362
00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:06,498
A gross hypocrite,
363
00:26:06,533 --> 00:26:10,602
One of the most egregious
fools upon the continent,

00:26:10,637 --> 00:26:12,571
A hideous,
365
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:14,573
Hermaphroditical character
366
00:26:14,607 --> 00:26:17,176
Which has neither the
force and firmness of a man,
367
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:20,879
Nor the gentleness and
sensibility of a woman."
368
00:26:24,284 --> 00:26:27,553
It is beneath the president
of the united states...
369
00:26:29,289 --> 00:26:31,290
To take any notice of insinuations.
370
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:32,624
In any other country,
371
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,561
Such filth would have
been silenced long ago.
372
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:38,197
Mr. Hamilton takes equal pains
373
00:26:38,231 --> 00:26:40,499
To ensure that the federalist papers
374
00:26:40,533 --> 00:26:42,134
Are filled with scurrilous attacks
375
00:26:42,168 --> 00:26:44,336
On thomas jefferson and his party.
376
00:26:44,371 --> 00:26:48,173
Think of all the vile falsehoods
377
00:26:48,208 --> 00:26:51,143
Written about you-- Continue
to be written about you.
378
00:26:51,144 --> 00:26:53,912
You may have patiently
borne all the slanders,
379
00:26:53,947 --> 00:26:55,414
But i have not.
380
00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:57,983
"Before it is too late to retrieve
381
00:26:57,984 --> 00:27:00,052
- Our deranged affairs..."
- For goodness sake.
382
00:27:00,086 --> 00:27:01,854
"...The people must demand
383
00:27:01,888 --> 00:27:05,090
The immediate resignation of old
384
00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:08,460
Querulous, bald, blind,
385
00:27:08,528 --> 00:27:11,463
Crippled, toothless adams."
386
00:27:16,936 --> 00:27:18,804
I'm not crippled.
387
00:27:20,407 --> 00:27:23,042
I find no amusement in this.
388
00:27:24,577 --> 00:27:27,513
- Waste of paper and ink.
- Waste of time reading it.
389
00:27:27,547 --> 00:27:29,181
Abigail, put it down.
390
00:27:31,885 --> 00:27:33,886
They would not say such
a thing about washington.
391
00:27:35,321 --> 00:27:37,756
They would not call george
washington hermaphroditical.
392
00:27:37,791 --> 00:27:40,426
They could call him toothless, though.
393
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:42,695
( Both laughing )
394
00:27:44,564 --> 00:27:46,165
By these measures,
some within your party
395
00:27:46,232 --> 00:27:47,866
Hope to silence the opposition.
396
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:53,706
I assure you they will
give it body and solidarity.
397
00:27:53,740 --> 00:27:57,343
Well, i am a party of one, thomas,
398
00:27:57,377 --> 00:27:58,944
As you well know.
399
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:03,382
Why blacken your fragile reputation
400
00:28:03,416 --> 00:28:06,051
By an assault on the freedoms
for which we both fought?
401
00:28:11,057 --> 00:28:12,725
Do you intend to ship out
402
00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:15,427
The entire french population
of the united states
403
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:19,431
Along with any other luckless soul
404
00:28:19,466 --> 00:28:22,101
Who happens to voice a contrary opinion?
405
00:28:22,135 --> 00:28:25,170
Well, if that contrary opinion
406
00:28:25,205 --> 00:28:27,639
Threatens to divide the nation at a time
407
00:28:27,674 --> 00:28:30,442
When we must stand united,
then yes, i will do just that.
408
00:28:34,714 --> 00:28:37,916
I am interested with the
nation's safety, thomas.
409
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,954
Now these war measures will protect us
410
00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:45,157
- From insurrection and subversion.
- There is no war.
411
00:28:47,027 --> 00:28:50,529
And that is the principle
behind these measures--
412
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:52,531
The prevention of war.
413
00:28:52,565 --> 00:28:55,234
You cannot protect the nation
414
00:28:55,235 --> 00:28:58,270
By attacking the right of every
man to speak freely without fear.
415
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:04,576
You're trampling on the constitution.
416
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:12,484
The states will have no alternative
417
00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:15,054
But to resist these measures...
418
00:29:15,121 --> 00:29:17,990
Which are an assault on
the liberty of their people.
419
00:29:21,861 --> 00:29:24,930
Yes, but the people's
representatives demanded these acts.
420
00:29:27,467 --> 00:29:30,969
Would you have me deaf to
the voice of the people?
421
00:29:41,648 --> 00:29:43,482
You are the president
of the senate, thomas.
422
00:29:45,051 --> 00:29:47,886
Surely, you will respect
the wishes of the majority...
423
00:29:47,921 --> 00:29:50,356
As i did.
424
00:29:54,527 --> 00:29:57,730
I cannot preside over
a reign of witches.
425
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,568
I shall remove myself to monticello.
426
00:30:02,602 --> 00:30:05,004
That is your privilege.
427
00:30:06,373 --> 00:30:08,540
429
00:30:17,951 --> 00:30:19,685
I am determined to control events,
430
00:30:19,719 --> 00:30:21,553
Not be controlled by them.
431
00:30:32,399 --> 00:30:34,500
Sign them, john.
432
00:30:34,567 --> 00:30:36,902
For once in your life,
the people are with you.
433
00:31:39,833 --> 00:31:41,967
Bed, john.
434
00:31:44,471 --> 00:31:46,672
You do understand, mr. Hamilton,
435
00:31:46,706 --> 00:31:49,775
That as president, i have the authority
436
00:31:49,809 --> 00:31:51,777
To decide on junior officers.
437
00:31:55,315 --> 00:31:58,183
Without question, sir.
438
00:31:58,218 --> 00:32:00,886
But general shington...
439
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,088
Will only accept his charge
440
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:06,658
On the condition that i serve
as his second in command.
441
00:32:08,862 --> 00:32:10,929
Naturally, you may decline
442
00:32:10,964 --> 00:32:13,098
To accept the arrangement.
443
00:32:18,271 --> 00:32:20,639
Of course not, mr.
Hamilton. Of course not.
444
00:32:22,976 --> 00:32:26,078
It is somewhat irregular,
445
00:32:26,112 --> 00:32:28,547
But...
446
00:32:28,581 --> 00:32:31,350
I would never countermand
his wishes, sir.
447
00:32:31,384 --> 00:32:34,186
If i may, sir.
448
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:39,058
A company will be
subdivided into two platoons,
449
00:32:39,092 --> 00:32:40,793
A platoon into two sections,
450
00:32:40,827 --> 00:32:42,327
A section into two squads.
451
00:32:42,362 --> 00:32:45,998
A squad will consist of four
files of three, or two files of--
452
00:32:46,032 --> 00:32:47,633
Perhaps later, mr. Hamilton.
453
00:32:47,634 --> 00:32:49,968
We are removing ourselves to peacefield
454
00:32:50,036 --> 00:32:53,238
To avoid the yellow
fever before it strikes.
455
00:32:53,273 --> 00:32:55,107
You might want to leave
the city yourself, sir.
456
00:32:55,141 --> 00:32:58,344
For general washington, i suggest this:
457
00:32:59,746 --> 00:33:02,614
A blue coat without lapels,
458
00:33:02,649 --> 00:33:05,451
Yellow buttons and
double-Bullion tag with fringe,
459
00:33:05,485 --> 00:33:07,820
Each with three stars.
460
00:33:08,922 --> 00:33:11,390
Obviously, collar cuffs,
461
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:14,360
And pocket flaps will
be double-Embroidered
462
00:33:14,394 --> 00:33:15,894
As will the buttonholes.
463
00:33:15,929 --> 00:33:17,930
Yes, but of course it is a matter
464
00:33:17,964 --> 00:33:21,767
Of how the army is to
be used, mr. Hamilton,
465
00:33:21,801 --> 00:33:23,435
Is it not?
466
00:33:25,205 --> 00:33:27,506
To what end, you see.
467
00:33:28,942 --> 00:33:30,843
Its presence will be...
468
00:33:30,877 --> 00:33:32,311
Provocative,
469
00:33:32,345 --> 00:33:34,346
Whatever the color of the uniforms.
470
00:33:36,916 --> 00:33:39,818
If we're forced to rely on
incompetent state militias
471
00:33:39,886 --> 00:33:41,887
For our defense,
472
00:33:41,921 --> 00:33:44,223
We may as well start
learning french now,
473
00:33:44,257 --> 00:33:46,291
Mr. President. ( Chuckles )
474
00:33:46,326 --> 00:33:48,994
A national army binds the country
475
00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:51,296
Much as a national bank does.
476
00:33:53,633 --> 00:33:56,602
Now, a training manual...
477
00:33:56,636 --> 00:33:58,203
Is essential.
478
00:33:58,204 --> 00:34:00,706
Here we have an illustration
479
00:34:00,707 --> 00:34:02,941
For the command "head right."
480
00:34:04,010 --> 00:34:06,111
At the word "right," the soldier
481
00:34:06,146 --> 00:34:08,347
Turns his head to the right briskly
482
00:34:08,381 --> 00:34:10,182
But without violence,
483
00:34:10,216 --> 00:34:12,051
Bringing his left eye in line
484
00:34:12,052 --> 00:34:13,886
With the buttons of his waistcoat
485
00:34:13,953 --> 00:34:15,888
And his right eye
looking along the breasts
486
00:34:15,955 --> 00:34:17,623
Of the soldiers to his right.
487
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:23,562
( Insects buzzing )
488
00:34:25,265 --> 00:34:27,966
Whoa, boy. Whoa.
489
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:45,918
John quincy is absolutely
certain of this?
490
00:34:45,952 --> 00:34:47,720
The french are willing to talk peace?
491
00:34:47,754 --> 00:34:49,888
Talleyrand let it be known
through our dutch embassy
492
00:34:49,923 --> 00:34:53,492
That another envoy would
be respectfully received.
493
00:34:53,526 --> 00:34:56,495
The situation in france has changed.
494
00:34:56,529 --> 00:34:58,530
General bonaparte has proclaimed himself
495
00:34:58,598 --> 00:35:01,100
Sovereign ruler and
declared the revolution over.
496
00:35:03,503 --> 00:35:06,605
From monarchy to anarchy
and back to monarchy.
497
00:35:08,608 --> 00:35:10,542
So much for the overthrow
498
00:35:10,577 --> 00:35:12,611
Of the ancient tyrann.
499
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:15,381
Bonaparte will have
little time for america.
500
00:35:15,415 --> 00:35:17,216
He must consolidate his power in france,
501
00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:19,284
Pursue the war with britain.
502
00:35:20,954 --> 00:35:22,454
This is the very news
503
00:35:22,455 --> 00:35:25,557
- That i have been waiting for.
- ( Laughs )
504
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,694
Delivered to me by my own son
505
00:35:28,728 --> 00:35:31,630
From my own son. Well done.
506
00:35:31,698 --> 00:35:33,732
Well done, sir.
507
00:35:33,767 --> 00:35:35,701
Let mr. Jefferson call
you a warmonger now.
508
00:35:35,735 --> 00:35:38,370
Ah. Ah.
509
00:35:38,405 --> 00:35:40,506
( Laughs )
510
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:46,245
( Scrubbing )
511
00:35:47,947 --> 00:35:50,549
Has there been any
news from colonel smith?
512
00:35:51,618 --> 00:35:53,452
Not of late.
513
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:01,727
- Nabby, it is not good for the children...
- Yes, mother?
514
00:36:01,761 --> 00:36:03,762
...to be without their
father for so long.
515
00:36:03,797 --> 00:36:06,398
I am resigned to the
absences of my husband...
516
00:36:08,234 --> 00:36:10,369
As you once were.
517
00:36:12,572 --> 00:36:15,140
Nabby, there is nothing i can do
518
00:36:15,175 --> 00:36:17,109
To alter what has passed.
519
00:36:18,545 --> 00:36:20,713
Should there be something
i could do to correct--
520
00:36:20,747 --> 00:36:22,581
He shall return as soon
as he is able, mother.
521
00:36:23,983 --> 00:36:26,685
I have no reason to
doubt his promise to me,
522
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:29,788
Nor the affection he feels
for me and the children.
523
00:36:30,990 --> 00:36:32,624
As for the rest of it, i am managing.
524
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:36,028
- You need not worry.
- But i do.
525
00:36:39,766 --> 00:36:41,734
How can i not?
526
00:36:47,841 --> 00:36:50,242
At the end of the summer,
we return to philadelphia.
527
00:36:51,878 --> 00:36:54,480
Perhaps you and the children
could return with us.
528
00:36:56,049 --> 00:36:57,649
We are fine here.
529
00:37:04,958 --> 00:37:08,660
We remove ourselves to the
new capital a few months later.
530
00:37:08,728 --> 00:37:10,763
Perhaps then?
531
00:37:12,065 --> 00:37:13,465
For the president's
daughter to be living
532
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,234
In washington city without her husband?
533
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:19,405
I'd never do that,
534
00:37:19,439 --> 00:37:21,306
Not to father.
535
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:25,844
It is best we remain where we are.
536
00:37:55,842 --> 00:37:57,943
( People chatting )
537
00:38:02,582 --> 00:38:04,283
Current hostilities in europe
538
00:38:04,284 --> 00:38:06,985
Demand a firm american response, sir.
539
00:38:08,054 --> 00:38:09,421
When the scourge of yellow fever
540
00:38:09,456 --> 00:38:11,156
Is removed from philadelphia
541
00:38:11,191 --> 00:38:12,991
And the government may resume its work,
542
00:38:13,026 --> 00:38:16,462
I will leave trenton and
return to the capital.
543
00:38:16,529 --> 00:38:20,099
I intend to deliver a
response, mr. Hamilton.
544
00:38:20,133 --> 00:38:22,034
Rest assured of that.
545
00:38:22,068 --> 00:38:23,635
Should victory fall to britain,
546
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:26,238
As it most surely must,
547
00:38:26,272 --> 00:38:30,309
Then the bourbons are likely
to regain the throne of france.
548
00:38:30,377 --> 00:38:33,345
Any dealings with a current
illegitimate government there
549
00:38:33,380 --> 00:38:36,515
Could well redound to our detriment...
550
00:38:36,549 --> 00:38:38,550
Leading us back into a war with britain
551
00:38:38,585 --> 00:38:40,586
We can ill-Afford to wage.
552
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:42,654
What if the french...
553
00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:46,558
Not the british, emerge
victorious, mr. Hamilton?
554
00:38:46,593 --> 00:38:48,494
The pretender bonaparte
555
00:38:48,495 --> 00:38:51,163
Is within a hairsbreadth of
victory over most of europe.
556
00:38:51,197 --> 00:38:52,965
In that regrettable instance,
557
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:54,500
We must be prepared to take possession
558
00:38:54,567 --> 00:38:56,468
Of valuable, strategic territory
559
00:38:56,503 --> 00:38:58,671
Before france can lay her hands on it.
560
00:39:02,208 --> 00:39:03,776
Must be ours.
561
00:39:05,178 --> 00:39:07,212
You would seize
562
00:39:07,247 --> 00:39:10,249
- Spanish florida and louisiana?
- And not only those, sir.
563
00:39:10,283 --> 00:39:13,085
If universal empire is to
be the pursuit of france,
564
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:14,887
What can tend to defeat
their purpose better
565
00:39:14,921 --> 00:39:18,357
Than to detach south america from spain?
566
00:39:18,391 --> 00:39:22,461
It is the only channel through which the
riches of mexico and peru convey to france.
567
00:39:22,495 --> 00:39:25,631
Let us not forget there are
those in our own country, sir,
568
00:39:25,665 --> 00:39:28,300
Who would prefer secession
to our continued union.
569
00:39:30,036 --> 00:39:32,004
If they should be so bold as to act
570
00:39:32,038 --> 00:39:34,540
On their threats, in the event, say,
571
00:39:34,607 --> 00:39:36,141
Of a french victory,
572
00:39:36,176 --> 00:39:38,077
We must be prepared
to bring the renegades
573
00:39:38,111 --> 00:39:40,646
Back into the fold
by force if necessary.
574
00:39:44,584 --> 00:39:46,919
Never in my life
575
00:39:46,953 --> 00:39:49,788
Have i heard a man
speak more like a fool.
576
00:39:51,291 --> 00:39:53,258
Sir?
577
00:39:53,293 --> 00:39:55,661
Your actions, mr. Hamilton,
578
00:39:55,695 --> 00:39:57,396
Would precipitate
579
00:39:57,397 --> 00:40:00,899
The very thing that you
pretend to protect against--
580
00:40:00,934 --> 00:40:03,602
The dissolution of this nation.
581
00:40:05,105 --> 00:40:08,273
May inform you as well,
sir, that i am in possession
582
00:40:08,308 --> 00:40:09,875
Of intelligence which confirms
583
00:40:09,909 --> 00:40:11,844
That we are as likely
to find a french army
584
00:40:11,878 --> 00:40:14,680
On these shores as we are on the moon!
585
00:40:15,815 --> 00:40:19,251
You dream of empire, mr. Hamilton.
586
00:40:20,653 --> 00:40:23,155
- You question my loyalties?
- Oh no, mr. Hamilton,
587
00:40:23,189 --> 00:40:25,357
I question your sanity.
588
00:40:27,127 --> 00:40:30,696
Now either you are
stark raving mad or i am!
589
00:40:30,764 --> 00:40:32,931
Good day, sir.
590
00:40:34,601 --> 00:40:37,002
You would do well to remember, sir,
591
00:40:37,037 --> 00:40:38,771
How you became
president--
592
00:40:39,739 --> 00:40:42,374
By three votes.
593
00:40:43,443 --> 00:40:45,177
Good day, general.
594
00:40:48,014 --> 00:40:49,882
( Door slams )
595
00:40:53,319 --> 00:40:54,853
Why did you not first consult with us
596
00:40:54,888 --> 00:40:57,222
Before requesting
congress disband the army?
597
00:40:58,591 --> 00:41:01,060
Well, your advice was
not required, gentlemen.
598
00:41:02,295 --> 00:41:03,696
I do not intend to enter the new capital
599
00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:05,831
With an occupying force
following behind me.
600
00:41:05,865 --> 00:41:07,700
You would not have dared to do this
601
00:41:07,734 --> 00:41:10,869
If general washington were still alive.
602
00:41:10,904 --> 00:41:13,639
General washington was the
rightful leader of this army,
603
00:41:13,673 --> 00:41:15,307
So i think that you will both agree
604
00:41:15,342 --> 00:41:17,443
That he is... irreplaceable.
605
00:41:20,180 --> 00:41:23,382
Why on earth would you disband the
army when we are preparing for war?
606
00:41:23,416 --> 00:41:25,184
Why on earth do we need an army
607
00:41:25,218 --> 00:41:26,652
When we are preparing for peace?
608
00:41:26,686 --> 00:41:29,154
You must abandon this folly
of a renewed peace commission--
609
00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:31,657
You may think it folly,
mr. Pickering. I do not.
610
00:41:31,658 --> 00:41:34,426
Should the current crisis be allowed
to persist a few months longer...
611
00:41:35,895 --> 00:41:39,064
Our party could be assured
of a favorable outcome
612
00:41:39,099 --> 00:41:40,933
In the upcoming election.
613
00:41:42,902 --> 00:41:44,903
Your re-Election would
be absolutely certain.
614
00:41:44,938 --> 00:41:47,906
Do not speak to me of politics, man.
615
00:41:47,941 --> 00:41:51,310
The people are animated, sir.
616
00:41:51,344 --> 00:41:53,512
Remove the french threat and
they're likely to desert us.
617
00:41:53,513 --> 00:41:57,149
Government by fear is no
government at all, mr. Mchenry.
618
00:41:58,418 --> 00:42:00,986
- Your intransigence--
- My intransigence?
619
00:42:01,021 --> 00:42:03,288
Your stubbornness will be our ruin.
620
00:42:03,323 --> 00:42:04,923
You would surrender
our party's interests
621
00:42:04,958 --> 00:42:08,093
To those of mr. Jefferson
and his so-Called republicans.
622
00:42:09,629 --> 00:42:12,798
And you, sirs, are
subservient to hamilton...
623
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:16,101
Who ruled general washington
624
00:42:16,136 --> 00:42:17,970
And would rule me if he could.
625
00:42:18,004 --> 00:42:20,973
- I protest-- - Mr.
Jefferson, whom you despise,
626
00:42:21,007 --> 00:42:23,008
In an infinitely better man.
627
00:42:24,344 --> 00:42:26,979
I would rather be vice
president under him
628
00:42:27,013 --> 00:42:29,982
Or resident minister
to the barbary pirates
629
00:42:30,050 --> 00:42:31,850
Than be indebted to a creature
630
00:42:31,885 --> 00:42:34,720
Such as hamilton for my present post!
631
00:42:38,324 --> 00:42:41,393
Now your-- Your immediate resignations
will be accepted, gentlemen.
632
00:42:43,296 --> 00:42:45,230
I do not feel it my duty to resign.
633
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,201
Oh. ( Laughs )
634
00:42:49,235 --> 00:42:52,538
Excellent. Excellent.
635
00:42:52,572 --> 00:42:54,573
Then you leave me with the
far more satisfying remedy
636
00:42:54,607 --> 00:42:56,575
Of removing you from office.
637
00:43:03,683 --> 00:43:05,417
Both of you.
638
00:43:29,275 --> 00:43:31,677
Charles is a sick man
639
00:43:31,711 --> 00:43:33,612
And he will not help himself.
640
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,782
- ( Baby crying ) - I didn't want
to leave him-- Please believe that--
641
00:43:36,783 --> 00:43:39,985
But it wasn't the place for us.
642
00:43:40,020 --> 00:43:41,687
Not anymore.
643
00:43:45,959 --> 00:43:48,460
You only did what was necessary
for your children, sally.
644
00:43:48,461 --> 00:43:50,429
There is no shame in that.
645
00:43:50,463 --> 00:43:52,431
When he drinks, he...
646
00:43:52,465 --> 00:43:54,967
Forgets himself. He does things.
647
00:43:55,001 --> 00:43:56,669
( Baby crying )
648
00:43:57,904 --> 00:44:00,105
The money worries him so.
649
00:44:03,076 --> 00:44:06,812
- The money? - Yes, the money
that john quincy gave him--
650
00:44:06,813 --> 00:44:09,148
$2,000.
651
00:44:11,418 --> 00:44:13,085
That charles was to invest for him.
652
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:15,721
It's gone,
653
00:44:15,755 --> 00:44:17,356
Every last cent.
654
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:19,191
Shh.
655
00:44:22,929 --> 00:44:25,564
See, he was cheated by speculators.
656
00:44:28,401 --> 00:44:30,235
Does john quincy know?
657
00:44:31,538 --> 00:44:32,971
No.
658
00:44:33,039 --> 00:44:34,873
He cannot bring himself to tell him.
659
00:44:34,908 --> 00:44:38,210
He has tried. He's tried to write...
660
00:44:39,813 --> 00:44:42,114
To explain,
but--
661
00:44:44,284 --> 00:44:46,585
But he cannot bring himself to do it.
662
00:44:47,754 --> 00:44:49,655
He will be so angry when he finds out
663
00:44:49,689 --> 00:44:51,857
That i have come here, but...
664
00:44:52,959 --> 00:44:55,461
I didn't know what else to do.
665
00:45:18,952 --> 00:45:21,186
( Trickling )
666
00:45:21,254 --> 00:45:22,654
( Spits )
667
00:45:37,337 --> 00:45:39,238
I beg your pardon, sir.
668
00:45:39,272 --> 00:45:41,240
Uh, kindly direct me to the home
669
00:45:41,274 --> 00:45:43,475
Of charles adams.
670
00:45:55,088 --> 00:45:56,655
( Knocks )
671
00:46:01,761 --> 00:46:03,862
( Fly buzzing )
672
00:46:32,258 --> 00:46:34,860
Ah! Oh!
673
00:46:38,398 --> 00:46:40,032
Absalom.
674
00:46:44,404 --> 00:46:45,971
Oh, king david's son
675
00:46:46,006 --> 00:46:48,307
At least showed some enterprise.
676
00:46:49,843 --> 00:46:52,578
He had the dignity to die in battle!
677
00:46:53,546 --> 00:46:56,081
But my
son--
678
00:46:56,116 --> 00:46:58,751
My son is a mere rake-
679
00:46:58,785 --> 00:47:01,220
A buck-- Blood
and beast!
680
00:47:01,254 --> 00:47:03,489
Go on, father, rage.
681
00:47:10,997 --> 00:47:12,564
Your mother...
682
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:14,767
Is beside herself with grief.
683
00:47:17,070 --> 00:47:19,571
To see all of her finest aspirations...
684
00:47:22,108 --> 00:47:25,411
Squandered on a miserable drunkard!
685
00:47:27,514 --> 00:47:29,581
And worse, a cheat!
686
00:47:29,616 --> 00:47:31,917
That's it, father. Curse me.
687
00:47:31,951 --> 00:47:34,053
You've made my whole life a curse.
688
00:47:42,262 --> 00:47:44,530
I renounce you.
689
00:47:49,369 --> 00:47:52,571
Father. Have mercy, father!
690
00:47:52,605 --> 00:47:54,907
( Crying )
691
00:48:39,419 --> 00:48:41,920
( Sobbing )
692
00:48:53,066 --> 00:48:54,967
Lv he has been a graceless child...
693
00:48:57,070 --> 00:48:59,138
But i cannot forsake him.
694
00:49:02,976 --> 00:49:05,477
His wife and children
deserve our attention.
695
00:49:06,713 --> 00:49:08,981
We must do all we can for their welfare.
696
00:49:15,488 --> 00:49:17,656
They will stay here in philadelphia
697
00:49:17,724 --> 00:49:19,324
Until we leave for the new capital.
698
00:49:20,827 --> 00:49:22,895
And then i will make
arrangements to remove them
699
00:49:22,929 --> 00:49:25,597
To peacefield upon our departure.
700
00:49:30,870 --> 00:49:34,006
I cannot help to wonder what
part we played in all this.
701
00:49:34,007 --> 00:49:37,009
He had every advantage, abigail.
702
00:49:37,077 --> 00:49:39,011
More than others.
703
00:49:43,083 --> 00:49:45,517
It is useless to speculate
704
00:49:45,518 --> 00:49:47,853
On what might have been, abigail.
705
00:49:49,122 --> 00:49:50,823
And...
706
00:49:50,857 --> 00:49:52,458
I will not find fault
707
00:49:52,492 --> 00:49:55,294
In my behavior to excuse his.
708
00:49:59,799 --> 00:50:02,968
Providence has inflicted
this disgrace upon us.
709
00:50:09,709 --> 00:50:12,111
So we must bear it.
710
00:50:20,820 --> 00:50:22,721
( Saw grinding )
711
00:50:22,756 --> 00:50:26,892
Man: come on, move it! Pull!
712
00:50:57,724 --> 00:50:59,892
There it is.
713
00:51:10,503 --> 00:51:12,538
Whoa.
714
00:51:21,781 --> 00:51:23,248
Mr. President.
715
00:51:23,283 --> 00:51:25,384
Thank you, sir.
716
00:51:30,256 --> 00:51:32,458
Man
717
00:51:35,195 --> 00:51:37,629
The negroes will see to your trunks.
718
00:51:37,697 --> 00:51:40,799
Here, you boy. Get these up the stair.
719
00:51:40,867 --> 00:51:42,735
And you and you!
720
00:51:42,769 --> 00:51:44,536
Come on, get to it.
721
00:51:45,905 --> 00:51:49,742
Mr. President, mrs. Adams.
722
00:52:33,319 --> 00:52:36,088
( All coughing )
723
00:52:39,325 --> 00:52:41,694
The fires help the plaster
dry more quickly, mrs. Adams.
724
00:52:41,695 --> 00:52:44,096
( Chuckles, ughs )
725
00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:12,658
It will soon be ready, sir.
726
00:53:24,404 --> 00:53:25,838
Half-Fed slaves
727
00:53:25,872 --> 00:53:28,007
Building our nation's capital.
728
00:53:33,413 --> 00:53:36,181
What possible good can
come from such a place?
729
00:53:48,728 --> 00:53:51,663
( Clanking echoes )
730
00:54:06,446 --> 00:54:08,047
Is the old man welcoming us
731
00:54:08,081 --> 00:54:09,948
Or showing us the way out?
732
00:54:33,473 --> 00:54:35,841
"A letter from alexander hamilton...
733
00:54:37,177 --> 00:54:40,446
Concerning the public
conduct and character
734
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,481
Of john adams, esquire,
735
00:54:42,515 --> 00:54:44,116
President of the united states."
736
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:45,751
Well well.
737
00:54:50,790 --> 00:54:52,658
"His disgusting egotism...
738
00:54:54,060 --> 00:54:57,830
His bitter animosity,
his ungovernable temper--
739
00:54:59,265 --> 00:55:02,501
The unfortunate foibles
of a vanity without bounds,
740
00:55:02,535 --> 00:55:05,571
And a jealousy capable of
discoloring every object.
741
00:55:06,806 --> 00:55:08,807
His presidency has been
742
00:55:08,842 --> 00:55:11,310
A heterogeneous compound
743
00:55:11,344 --> 00:55:13,278
Of right and wrong,
744
00:55:13,313 --> 00:55:15,814
Of wisdom and error."
745
00:55:15,849 --> 00:55:17,783
This pamphlet will do you much damage
746
00:55:17,817 --> 00:55:20,185
Should it finds its way into the hands
747
00:55:20,186 --> 00:55:22,688
Of the electors as mr. Hamilton intends.
748
00:55:22,689 --> 00:55:25,257
It could well determine
the course of the election.
749
00:55:25,291 --> 00:55:28,727
Yes, well, i made his little
army disappear, didn't i?
750
00:55:28,762 --> 00:55:33,032
And now he seeks to do the
same to me, mr. Secretary.
751
00:55:39,406 --> 00:55:42,541
Is there still no word
from paris, mr. Marshall?
752
00:55:42,575 --> 00:55:44,309
None as yet.
753
00:55:45,478 --> 00:55:47,413
I'm heartily sorry, sir.
754
00:56:04,831 --> 00:56:07,232
The ancients...
755
00:56:08,401 --> 00:56:11,670
Thought a great book a great evil.
756
00:56:15,875 --> 00:56:17,810
( Chuckles )
757
00:56:17,844 --> 00:56:20,179
Mr. Hamilton will find his little book
758
00:56:20,213 --> 00:56:23,749
An evil great enough for
him, for it will ensure
759
00:56:23,783 --> 00:56:25,851
The election of the man that he dreads,
760
00:56:25,919 --> 00:56:29,154
Or pretends to dread, far more than me.
761
00:56:29,189 --> 00:56:31,790
You are resigned, then?
762
00:56:37,564 --> 00:56:40,666
My decisions were my
own-- Not other men's
763
00:56:40,700 --> 00:56:42,501
And certainly not hamilton's.
764
00:56:53,513 --> 00:56:57,116
I have always been prepared
to stand by the consequences.
765
00:57:07,060 --> 00:57:09,962
I desire no other inscription
766
00:57:09,996 --> 00:57:12,131
Over my gravestone than...
767
00:57:13,099 --> 00:57:15,334
"Here lies john adams,
768
00:57:15,368 --> 00:57:17,703
Who took upon himself the responsibility
769
00:57:17,737 --> 00:57:19,505
For peace with france...
770
00:57:20,507 --> 00:57:22,474
In the year 1800."
771
00:57:50,303 --> 00:57:53,305
Oh, i pray heaven to
bestow the best of blessings
772
00:57:53,340 --> 00:57:57,609
On this house and all who
shall hereafter inhabit it.
773
00:58:00,780 --> 00:58:02,548
Hmm.
774
00:58:03,550 --> 00:58:05,751
May none but honest and wise men
775
00:58:05,785 --> 00:58:07,586
Ever rule under this roof.
776
00:58:39,219 --> 00:58:41,053
Thank god you've come.
777
00:58:43,056 --> 00:58:44,790
Of course.
778
00:58:53,566 --> 00:58:55,167
Is he awake?
779
00:59:05,545 --> 00:59:07,346
Nabby: mother...
780
00:59:09,382 --> 00:59:12,017
His mind is much deranged.
781
00:59:25,932 --> 00:59:28,701
( Grunting )
782
00:59:32,605 --> 00:59:34,440
( Coughs )
783
00:59:35,675 --> 00:59:38,777
Charles. Charles.
784
00:59:41,581 --> 00:59:43,349
Mother.
785
00:59:44,351 --> 00:59:46,218
I'm here.
786
00:59:48,221 --> 00:59:49,955
I'm here.
787
00:59:52,459 --> 00:59:54,493
Is... father...
788
00:59:54,527 --> 00:59:56,462
With you?
789
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:01,200
No.
790
01:00:03,970 --> 01:00:05,704
The election presses upon him.
791
01:00:05,739 --> 01:00:07,272
The election, yes.
792
01:00:07,340 --> 01:00:09,041
( Panting
) the--
793
01:00:10,744 --> 01:00:13,145
- ( Grunts ) we will have not
have-- - Charles! Charles!
794
01:00:14,414 --> 01:00:15,914
( Whispering ) charles...
795
01:00:15,949 --> 01:00:17,683
Listen to me.
796
01:00:17,717 --> 01:00:20,252
You have a wife and you have children
797
01:00:20,286 --> 01:00:22,788
Who are in great need of you.
798
01:00:22,822 --> 01:00:25,157
( Charles sobbing )
799
01:00:25,191 --> 01:00:28,227
I am in great need of you.
800
01:00:29,529 --> 01:00:32,297
So you look deep within yourself,
801
01:00:32,332 --> 01:00:34,867
You turn to god and you return to us.
802
01:00:36,636 --> 01:00:38,237
Do you hear me?
803
01:00:39,506 --> 01:00:41,340
( Crying ) yes.
804
01:00:41,374 --> 01:00:43,242
Do you hear me?
805
01:00:49,916 --> 01:00:52,551
You return to us.
806
01:00:52,585 --> 01:00:55,821
- You must.
- Oh, please forgive me, mother.
807
01:00:57,190 --> 01:00:59,591
Please... forgive me.
808
01:00:59,659 --> 01:01:02,161
Oh, charles.
809
01:01:05,498 --> 01:01:07,499
Shh.
810
01:01:08,835 --> 01:01:10,602
I'm right here.
811
01:01:13,907 --> 01:01:17,176
- Marshall: mr. President!
- ( Door slams )
812
01:01:17,210 --> 01:01:18,877
Mr. President!
813
01:01:20,613 --> 01:01:22,181
News, sir!
814
01:01:26,553 --> 01:01:28,554
A treaty was signed on october the third
815
01:01:28,588 --> 01:01:30,856
At mortefontaine.
816
01:01:30,890 --> 01:01:33,425
A copy is expected for
ratification within the month.
817
01:01:34,661 --> 01:01:36,562
Thanks be to god.
818
01:01:36,596 --> 01:01:38,864
Bonaparte has declared the differences
819
01:01:38,898 --> 01:01:40,666
Between france and the united states
820
01:01:40,700 --> 01:01:43,135
To be little more than a family quarrel.
821
01:01:43,203 --> 01:01:45,604
( Laughing )
822
01:01:47,807 --> 01:01:50,576
You are vindicated, although
i fear it comes too late.
823
01:01:50,610 --> 01:01:52,778
The electors have
submitted their ballots.
824
01:01:52,812 --> 01:01:54,713
But we have a peace.
825
01:01:54,748 --> 01:01:57,316
We have an honorable peace...
826
01:02:00,153 --> 01:02:01,987
For all that it has cost me.
827
01:02:03,490 --> 01:02:05,624
( Child crying )
828
01:02:05,658 --> 01:02:08,394
I will be with your father
829
01:02:08,428 --> 01:02:10,729
Until the election results
are known, then the two of us
830
01:02:10,764 --> 01:02:12,464
Will return here together.
831
01:02:12,499 --> 01:02:14,133
Write me of any change of his condition.
832
01:02:14,167 --> 01:02:15,801
Of course.
833
01:02:19,272 --> 01:02:21,373
And you must be strong,
834
01:02:21,408 --> 01:02:23,342
Now more than ever.
835
01:02:29,382 --> 01:02:31,116
( Abigail coos )
836
01:02:34,821 --> 01:02:37,456
Do you want to say goodbye to your
grandmother and wave to the carriage?
837
01:02:37,490 --> 01:02:40,159
I will pray every day for his recovery.
838
01:02:46,766 --> 01:02:48,434
( Door closes )
839
01:03:07,787 --> 01:03:09,722
- Please clear the room.
- Life, sir.
840
01:03:09,756 --> 01:03:11,990
- Come on!
- Yes, sir, boss.
841
01:03:12,025 --> 01:03:14,226
- Man: yes.
- Man
842
01:03:16,429 --> 01:03:18,464
Mr. President, the
votes have been tallied.
843
01:03:18,498 --> 01:03:22,301
You received 65 votes, sir.
844
01:03:25,372 --> 01:03:27,506
Mr. Jefferson and mr. Burr
845
01:03:27,540 --> 01:03:29,742
Are both tied at 73.
846
01:03:29,776 --> 01:03:31,343
( John sighs )
847
01:03:32,379 --> 01:03:34,913
A tie between two republicans.
848
01:03:44,624 --> 01:03:46,725
( Chuckles )
849
01:03:53,633 --> 01:03:56,035
Only new england has been true.
850
01:03:58,872 --> 01:04:00,406
A good showing, sir.
851
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,307
( Laughs )
852
01:04:02,342 --> 01:04:05,177
Had we gone to war with france,
853
01:04:05,211 --> 01:04:07,212
Matters might have been very different.
854
01:04:07,247 --> 01:04:11,216
To return to office with blood
on my hands, mr. Marshall,
855
01:04:11,251 --> 01:04:12,918
Would have been no victory at all.
856
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,487
The choice of a president
857
01:04:15,522 --> 01:04:17,723
Now falls on the house
of representatives.
858
01:04:17,757 --> 01:04:19,591
Some federalists are eager
859
01:04:19,626 --> 01:04:22,127
To prolong the stalemate.
860
01:04:22,162 --> 01:04:23,896
To what possible end?
861
01:04:25,098 --> 01:04:26,699
Should your successor not be chosen
862
01:04:26,733 --> 01:04:29,501
Before the scheduled inauguration,
863
01:04:29,569 --> 01:04:31,570
The laurels will fall
to the president pro tem
864
01:04:31,604 --> 01:04:33,472
Of the senate. As he is a federalist,
865
01:04:33,506 --> 01:04:35,574
Our party will maintain control.
866
01:04:35,608 --> 01:04:39,278
Yet, whatever the outcome, i will
no longer be occupying this office.
867
01:04:46,152 --> 01:04:49,288
There is one pressing matter
868
01:04:49,322 --> 01:04:50,989
I need to attend to.
869
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:55,394
I'm recalling my son john quincy
870
01:04:55,428 --> 01:04:58,330
From his honorable exile abroad.
871
01:05:02,202 --> 01:05:04,136
You will see to the formalities.
872
01:05:04,170 --> 01:05:06,271
With pleasure, sir.
873
01:05:08,074 --> 01:05:11,243
Our family's been apart for too long.
874
01:05:20,186 --> 01:05:22,287
( Quill scratching )
875
01:06:07,167 --> 01:06:09,001
He's dead, john.
876
01:06:15,709 --> 01:06:17,743
Our son is dead.
877
01:06:27,387 --> 01:06:30,589
Poor poor unhappy man.
878
01:06:34,060 --> 01:06:37,029
Let silence reign over his tomb...
879
01:06:38,698 --> 01:06:40,099
Forever.
880
01:06:47,874 --> 01:06:51,577
He was no man's enemy.
881
01:06:55,548 --> 01:06:57,216
He was...
882
01:06:58,585 --> 01:07:00,719
The delight of my eye...
883
01:07:02,288 --> 01:07:04,623
And the darling of my heart.
884
01:07:06,993 --> 01:07:09,628
I will not forgive him.
885
01:07:36,623 --> 01:07:37,890
( Sniffles )
886
01:07:49,969 --> 01:07:52,404
( Door closes )
887
01:08:00,046 --> 01:08:02,514
( Hammers pounding )
888
01:08:34,781 --> 01:08:34,847
I
889
01:09:15,255 --> 01:09:17,356
( Fire crackling )
890
01:09:38,578 --> 01:09:40,145
Mr. President.
891
01:09:42,315 --> 01:09:44,149
Mr. President.
892
01:09:47,220 --> 01:09:49,221
You honor me prematurely, sir.
893
01:09:49,289 --> 01:09:52,157
The house is... still in deadlock.
894
01:09:53,693 --> 01:09:55,461
After 32 ballots.
895
01:09:56,830 --> 01:09:58,731
- 33.
- Ah.
896
01:10:06,239 --> 01:10:08,240
Well, god grant they may
soon reach a decision.
897
01:10:13,380 --> 01:10:15,581
A word from you would...
898
01:10:17,751 --> 01:10:20,152
End the uncertainty.
899
01:10:21,755 --> 01:10:23,522
That is for the congress to decide.
900
01:10:24,657 --> 01:10:26,425
I have no business in that matter.
901
01:10:35,135 --> 01:10:36,602
If the federalist conspirators
902
01:10:36,670 --> 01:10:38,604
Are allowed to defeat this election...
903
01:10:41,207 --> 01:10:43,876
There will be resistance by force,
904
01:10:43,910 --> 01:10:46,545
And the consequences
could be incalculable.
905
01:10:49,115 --> 01:10:52,351
The outcome of this election
is within your power.
906
01:10:54,854 --> 01:10:56,221
You would do well
907
01:10:56,256 --> 01:10:58,957
To quiet your revolutionary
notions, thomas.
908
01:11:01,461 --> 01:11:03,262
You have only to say
909
01:11:03,296 --> 01:11:06,265
That you will not turn out
the government's officers...
910
01:11:06,299 --> 01:11:10,235
Will maintain the navy, that you
will honor the national debt--
911
01:11:10,270 --> 01:11:13,205
All of which the
federalists hold dear--
912
01:11:13,239 --> 01:11:16,542
And the government will
instantly be in your hands.
913
01:11:23,550 --> 01:11:25,751
I will not enter office
but in perfect freedom
914
01:11:25,785 --> 01:11:29,054
To follow the dictates
of my own judgment.
915
01:11:33,593 --> 01:11:35,294
Well then, in that
case, events must take
916
01:11:35,328 --> 01:11:36,995
Their own course.
917
01:12:52,205 --> 01:12:54,807
( Paper crinkling )
918
01:12:57,577 --> 01:12:59,345
Ah. Mr. Marshall.
919
01:12:59,379 --> 01:13:00,879
Welcome.
920
01:13:00,914 --> 01:13:03,248
Would-- Would you
care for a drink?
921
01:13:03,316 --> 01:13:04,917
Uh, no thank you, sir.
922
01:13:06,653 --> 01:13:08,420
Ah.
923
01:13:08,488 --> 01:13:12,358
Mr. Bayard of delaware relented
924
01:13:12,392 --> 01:13:14,660
On the 36th ballot.
925
01:13:15,829 --> 01:13:18,430
He was induced to do so by assurances
926
01:13:18,498 --> 01:13:21,233
From mr. Jefferson's agents
927
01:13:21,267 --> 01:13:24,503
That the generous
concessions you suggested
928
01:13:24,537 --> 01:13:26,605
Would be respectfully considered.
929
01:13:29,676 --> 01:13:32,011
Well well, respectfully considered.
930
01:13:33,013 --> 01:13:35,047
We shall see about that, hmm?
931
01:13:35,081 --> 01:13:38,417
Mr. Jefferson is fortunate that
i have left him a country at all
932
01:13:38,451 --> 01:13:40,552
Over which to preside.
933
01:13:40,587 --> 01:13:43,022
Whatever accusations
may be hurled at me...
934
01:13:44,290 --> 01:13:45,958
That i led us into a
ruinous war with france
935
01:13:45,959 --> 01:13:48,360
Will not be among them.
936
01:13:48,395 --> 01:13:50,729
And i have you to thank for
your service at that end.
937
01:13:50,764 --> 01:13:52,398
Thank you, sir.
938
01:13:54,801 --> 01:13:58,637
( Sighs ) i feel my shoulders
relieved of the burden of office.
939
01:14:01,207 --> 01:14:05,310
I will be plain farmer
john of peacefield.
940
01:14:07,914 --> 01:14:09,581
That's a good exchange.
941
01:14:09,616 --> 01:14:12,651
The virtues and honor of office...
942
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,387
For simple manure.
943
01:14:16,489 --> 01:14:18,924
Oh, dear. No no no, not that one.
944
01:14:22,562 --> 01:14:24,396
Good heavens. Oh.
945
01:14:25,565 --> 01:14:27,733
I didn't mean to burn that one.
946
01:14:30,303 --> 01:14:32,171
Until the inauguration then, sir.
947
01:14:35,275 --> 01:14:36,942
Oh, i-- I will
not be attending.
948
01:14:44,084 --> 01:14:46,752
You will forgive me if
i do not wish to glory
949
01:14:46,786 --> 01:14:48,954
In mr. Jefferson's coronation.
950
01:14:50,957 --> 01:14:52,691
You will be missed, sir.
951
01:14:57,864 --> 01:15:00,032
I very much doubt that, mr. Marshall.
952
01:15:14,514 --> 01:15:16,548
( Sighs )
953
01:15:59,926 --> 01:16:01,827
( Man yelling melodically )
954
01:16:44,904 --> 01:16:47,039
If you don't mind, sir. Thank you.
955
01:16:48,441 --> 01:16:50,409
( Grunting )
956
01:16:54,247 --> 01:16:56,081
Thank you.
957
01:16:56,116 --> 01:16:57,750
( Grunting )
958
01:16:57,817 --> 01:17:00,319
Very good. Thank you, sir.
959
01:17:02,489 --> 01:17:04,823
- Pardon.
- Man: sit here, sir.
960
01:17:12,332 --> 01:17:15,167
( Man chatting )
961
01:17:25,512 --> 01:17:27,179
Stop gawking.
962
01:17:28,682 --> 01:17:31,250
I'm plain john adams,
963
01:17:31,284 --> 01:17:33,419
Just an ordinary citizen,
964
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:35,988
Same as urselves.
965
01:18:17,664 --> 01:18:19,765
