- Look, the flag!
362
00:18:13,737 --> 00:18:15,489
Our flag.
363
00:18:15,570 --> 00:18:17,489
- Our flag, our flag!
364
00:18:17,570 --> 00:18:20,239
- Well, it's not exactly
my flag.
365
00:18:20,278 --> 00:18:22,030
(Edward)
- We won, we won!
366
00:18:23,111 --> 00:18:24,655
We lost nary a man.
367
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:26,112
The town is ours!
368
00:18:26,153 --> 00:18:28,322
We caught 'em with
their breeches down.
369
00:18:28,402 --> 00:18:30,029
- Congratulations!
370
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,571
Finally,
a victory!
371
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:33,946
- I'll tell you
what else.
372
00:18:33,985 --> 00:18:35,320
When we was
marching in,
373
00:18:35,402 --> 00:18:37,988
I saw General Washington
on his horse,
374
00:18:38,069 --> 00:18:38,986
the horse
slipped on the ice
375
00:18:39,069 --> 00:18:40,612
and would've fell
376
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,738
but the general grabbed his
mane with his big right hand
377
00:18:43,777 --> 00:18:45,278
and pulled him straight.
378
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,236
Kept on going
without a hitch.
379
00:18:47,276 --> 00:18:48,736
That's when I first started
to think
380
00:18:48,777 --> 00:18:50,111
we might have a chance.
381
00:18:52,901 --> 00:18:55,987
- James, but what
happened to the spy?
382
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:59,237
- Honeyman was secretly spying
for Washington.
383
00:18:59,275 --> 00:19:00,026
(Sarah)
- What?
384
00:19:00,108 --> 00:19:01,443
- I overheard them talking
385
00:19:01,484 --> 00:19:03,778
when I went to get
Henri away from the tent.
386
00:19:03,858 --> 00:19:05,443
He told Washington that
the British
387
00:19:05,525 --> 00:19:07,986
had pulled out of Trenton
and the Hessian soldiers
388
00:19:08,067 --> 00:19:09,985
would not be
ready for an attack.
389
00:19:10,067 --> 00:19:12,736
- You knew this all the time
and didn't tell us?
390
00:19:12,775 --> 00:19:16,320
- It was a military secret
that I wasn't supposed to know.
391
00:19:16,399 --> 00:19:19,110
- So he really did have
a secret plan.
392
00:19:19,149 --> 00:19:21,109
I wonder what
he's going to do in five days
393
00:19:21,191 --> 00:19:23,026
when he loses his troops?
394
00:19:27,523 --> 00:19:29,025
- My brave fellows,
395
00:19:29,106 --> 00:19:31,943
you have done all
I have asked you to do
396
00:19:31,981 --> 00:19:34,734
and more than can be
reasonably expected,
397
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:37,692
but your country
is at stake.
398
00:19:37,773 --> 00:19:40,067
Your families, your houses,
399
00:19:40,106 --> 00:19:42,067
and all that you
hold dear.
400
00:19:42,106 --> 00:19:44,525
I know your
enlistment ends tomorrow.
401
00:19:44,606 --> 00:19:48,944
The present moment is one which
will decide our destiny.
402
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:50,649
I'm asking for volunteers
403
00:19:50,730 --> 00:19:53,441
to stay on
and continue the fight.
404
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,066
Philadelphia merchant
Robert Morris
405
00:19:56,105 --> 00:19:59,859
has donated the money
for me to offer each man
406
00:19:59,939 --> 00:20:02,816
$10 for another
tour of duty.
407
00:20:02,896 --> 00:20:05,231
Do I have
any volunteers?
408
00:20:07,938 --> 00:20:09,856
- Please... somebody.
409
00:20:13,562 --> 00:20:16,607
- Heck, I will if
somebody else will too.
410
00:20:16,687 --> 00:20:18,356
I can't fight this thing alone.
411
00:20:23,603 --> 00:20:25,104
- Now we have an army.
412
00:20:28,186 --> 00:20:29,771
- Without your courage,
Private,
413
00:20:29,853 --> 00:20:31,521
we wouldn't have a chance.
414
00:20:31,603 --> 00:20:32,646
- Aw, heck.
415
00:20:32,728 --> 00:20:34,104
Let's win this thing.
416
00:20:36,102 --> 00:20:38,730
- General Washington,
I want to congratulate you
417
00:20:38,769 --> 00:20:40,479
on your brilliant success.
418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,229
- Yeah, even though she doesn't
believe in your cause.
419
00:20:43,268 --> 00:20:44,686
(man)
- General Washington?
420
00:20:44,769 --> 00:20:45,728
- Yes.
421
00:20:45,769 --> 00:20:46,811
- A message from
Congress.
422
00:20:46,893 --> 00:20:48,144
They've fled to Baltimore
423
00:20:48,226 --> 00:20:50,729
due to the British
advance on Philadelphia.
424
00:20:50,768 --> 00:20:52,394
- So now I'll have to
go to Baltimore
425
00:20:52,434 --> 00:20:54,603
to plead for more
money and troops?
426
00:20:54,684 --> 00:20:56,061
- No, sir, you won't.
427
00:20:56,101 --> 00:20:58,395
That's the whole point
of the message.
428
00:20:58,434 --> 00:21:01,562
- Evidently, Congress has
seen fit to give me full power
429
00:21:01,601 --> 00:21:04,854
to do all things relative to
the operations of war.
430
00:21:05,934 --> 00:21:07,268
- That's fantastic!
431
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:09,937
First a great victory,
and now this!
432
00:21:10,017 --> 00:21:12,436
- Most generals,
when they get that much power,
433
00:21:12,516 --> 00:21:13,976
become dictators.
434
00:21:14,058 --> 00:21:16,894
- A free nation must not
be ruled by generals.
435
00:21:16,933 --> 00:21:18,935
The sword is the last resort
436
00:21:19,016 --> 00:21:20,935
for the preservation
of liberties,
437
00:21:20,974 --> 00:21:23,101
and so it must be put aside
438
00:21:23,183 --> 00:21:24,935
when those liberties
are established.
