There's a union officer
lodging at your home.

He has documents.
You took the oath?

Why would you do it?
To get you out of jail.

The medical department
will be sending my replacement.

You've had an effect on me.

The society dispatched me here
to help acclimate.

Those making the transition
to freedom.

There are desperately ill
people out there.

You are angry about something.

I am angry about
who you pretend to be.

Telegram came from boston.

I bought this.
Steamer leaves tuesday.

That man there, he's looking
for aurelia johnson.

I know you.

Find him!

Song books here! Song books!

Here.

Half a bushel, miss.

Got none to sell.

Well, I see some 40 bushels.

But not provender
for oath signers.

Pardon me? What did you say?

Come on, miss emma.

Man bring bushels
to the hospital.

He'll have enough for us.

Reward!

Yes, sir. There you are.

Reward!

Man wanted for
the attempted murder.

Of the us hospital steward.

There you are.

Still at large.

Lunch isn't until noon, boys.
Keep working till then.

That thing work?

Doesn't need to.

For people who
toiled in the fields.

And only know sunup and sundown,

It'll serve to teach them
how time works.

Take care of everything,
don't you?

Somebody helped me learn
how to be free once.

Now I aim to do the same
for others.

When you headed north?

Tomorrow.

Curious why
you'd want to leave now.

With emancipation
right around the corner.

Should think you'd want to be
around to see that.

I have a girl in massachusetts.

You fixin' to marry her?

Well, far be it from me.

To keep people who
love each other apart.

Miss charlotte.

I'm taking him to
the administration office.

I heard they might have a record.

Of job placements
for former slaves.

Never heard of
records like that.

If she was working
in alexandria,

They might be able
to tell us where.

There's just no way of knowing
if his story is even true.

Why would he lie?

I got to get back in the tent.

Lunch isn't till noon, I hear.

I sent you the full accounts.

You had time to review them?

It appears that
our business is no worse off.

Than when I was arrested.

What's more,
there are new opportunities.

Beyond coffin making.

Is that so?

Army wagons roll through
this town night and day,

Constantly breaking
cartwheels and spokes.

I'm meeting today
with the provost marshal.

To see what their needs may be.

Wagon supplies?

With his approval,
we can reopen the warehouse.

You set this meeting
without consulting me?

You were still in jail, father.

Well, I'm out of jail now,
so I'll see it myself.

Your presence would be
problematic.

Problematic?

You're not allowed to
run the business.

Why?
Because you signed the oath?

And because you did not.

Your father owns the business,
jimmy.

Not you.

Yes. Of course.

But under their law,

He can only function as
a silent partner for now.

And I'm to be what, grateful?

To them? To you?

Federals are in retreat.

Mcclellan is an embarrassment.

This occupation
will soon be over.

Stay away from him, alice.
He's a danger to us.

And what if he's caught?

He'll be hanged.

For what? Being a patriot?

For trying to kill a man.

Let frank take care of himself.

Morning, ladies.

Pardon me. I...

Something the matter, captain?

Well... Yes.

You have been
most gracious hosts,

But a small item's
gone missing from my room.

Missing? Official paperwork.

Some technical notes of no value
to anyone outside the military.

Well, the servants, on occasion,

In an effort to keep things
tidy, mistakenly discard things.

They do?

When have they done that?

I will talk to them.

The papers were in
a leather case.

Difficult to mistake
for rubbish.

Perhaps they moved them
somewhere.

Go, sister.
I will attend to this.

I'll have the rubbish searched.

It sometimes sits around
for days,

So I imagine we're not too late.

Very well, then.

Thank you.

I must be off
to the stables now.

My horses have arrived
from up north.

Have they? How wonderful.

I do love to ride.

My father taught me
when I was only little.

He used to take us...

James.

If we are not careful,

Our girls will end up betrothed
to these houseguests.

James.

I intend to write
the provost marshal.

On the unfairness of
disenfranchising a man.

From a business
he built from nothing.

But passes on to his son.

Per force.

We are struggling
in the aftermath.

Of a decision you made.

A noble decision,

But jimmy is rising from that
struggle to his manhood,

And I say thank goodness for it.

He is rising, and I am sinking.

Into what?

Obsolescence?

None of it is fair, my dear,

But it is not jimmy's fault
or alice's or emma's.

We must channel our frustrations
against the external forces.

That are opposing us,
not within our home.

Not against each other.

A stallion? Is that right?

A majestic horse.
You must come see him.

Yes, I think I must.

Good morning.

I, - I feel our last
conversation was unresolved.

Seemed quite resolved to me.

Are you unwell?

No.

Yes.

Only a cold.

Telegram, sir.
Come from california.

Is it from your wife?

No.

It's from the lawyer.

The immense force of
electromagnetic reinvigoration.

I gived you a dime
and I don't feel nothing.

A voltaic power
binding the universe.

Now courses through
your wounded appendage.

All it feels is kind of stiff.

It's a good sign
when anything gets stiff.

Precisely.

The exhilarator can even restore.

Flaccid fifth limbs
to full rigidity.

Fire up them electrodes, doc.

My fifth limb's a-waitin'.

Firing them up now.

All in good time.

Conditions of great urgency
await my treatment.

I'll return soon.

Hold still.

Sister isabella.

Inform the nurses of
a staff meeting this afternoon.

Of some importance.
Yes, miss mary.

Miss hastings,
with our steward on the mend,

I'd like an hourly check
on the status of meals.

There's been a new cook added.

From the household of
miss green.

Yes. My family's servant belinda.

Will be working here
on occasion.

Perhaps miss green
is better suited.

To task the kitchen staff.

Miss green is still learning,
whereas you, miss hastings,

By virtue of your innate
sense of authority,

Are well-suited to
task those of any station.

And staff conferences with
the new chief begin today.

We must be prepared
to help steer the ship.

I'm trembling.
I've always been so rock steady.

But this... this bastard,
this swine!

Shh!

Major mcburney... you seen him?
What did he say?

He read. I stood before him.

He sat there reading, never once
gracing me with eye contact.

Humiliation was his purpose.

And, it was served.

Reading what?
Start making sense.

A report by summers
describing me.

As earnest, eager, capable,
but lacking passion or vision.

A damning legacy.

Mcburney looked at me like I was.

The corpse of a man
whose death he bet on.

Foster's in there with him now.

I'm sure his star
soars heavenward.

You're described as a man of
some promise, dr. Foster,

Who furthered an american
education with study in europe.

French medical methods.

Are often seen as
more advanced than our own.

I'm glad to describe some...
No need.

Would you like me to
have a look at that, sir?

At what?

Your, -

You've risen fast.

Civilian to captain
to executive officer.

You make the ranks
seem an easy game.

All in the service of my one
true interest, medical...

Here's the rub, though.
You do not like rules.

You do not follow them.

I'm a doctor from
a strong military background.

I trained at the jarvis academy
before my time at princeton.

You are familiar with princeton,
are you not?

And I served on the field of
battle until quite recently.

Last at bull run.

A year ago?

Point being...

Major summers was generous
to grant you latitude.

I, on the other hand,
am not so... Magnanimous.

I expect adherence
to regulation.

Are we understood?

And henceforth, I will expect
a proper salute, captain.

Where are you from, corporal?

Concord, massachusetts.

Is that so? I am, as well.

I heard mr. Douglass speak about
his life as a slave.

He drove me to want to
support the cause.

We have that inspiration
in common.

Only now I know that
one brutality.

Don't make up for another.

All I seen is
the worst men can do,

And the worst of it is...
We're losing this war.

You no longer
believe in the cause?

Can you extend your leg,
soldier?

Are you able to flex the foot?

His wounds have healed,

But his recovery
seems to be at an impasse.

So they keep shunting me around
from one death house to another.

We'll find
what's holding you back.

Something internal, perhaps?

A lost fragment spreading toxin?

Or he's a malingerer.

I don't think so. He clearly
doesn't want to be here.

No, he wants to be sent home.

I doubt that. There's more to it
than simple evasion.

Trust her, dr. Hale.

Miss phinney
is an expert on evasion.

Pardon me. I'm needed upstairs.

Evasion?

Um, may I?

I-I know that you have recently
met with our new chief,

And by the hypostasis of my own
meeting with him, i...

I hope there's been
no abridgment.

In your newfound confidence
in my abilities.

How we proceed
has only to do with.

Favoring a conservative
approach,

Not my confidence in you.

Of course not. I'm sorry. I'm...

Mcburney has my brain
a little pinched.

Well, we are one in that.

He seems to have
come loaded for bear.

"Possessed of skills learned
during service in the crimea."

Miss hastings exploits
what authority she has.

"Officious, discompassionate,
tyrannical."

Is not one man's tyrannical
another man's...

Leaderly?

Indeed.

What may have been perceived
as flaws

I may view as attributes.

I do not see order here,
miss hastings.

Being recently exalted,
I am easy prey to deception.

Without someone who can reveal
to me the true nature of things.

I have taken lifelong pride in
speaking of things as they are.

Perhaps that quality
was undervalued.

By the previous regime.

Trust in me would not
be, misplaced.

As I suspected.

Now, miss phinney... what is
her level of competence?

Miss phinney?

Head nurse. How do you find her?

That is for you to determine,
sir.

Would it even be fair of me
to opine as...

Having worked alongside
miss nightingale,

My standards are...

Well, so...

Impossibly high.

Grab that pin for me.

Heard talk you were leaving
to be with her.

The one I wronged.

The lord has taken
the scales from my eyes.

And I'm beholden to this debt.

You talking to your friend?

The lord is my friend.

You seen miss charlotte?

She ain't around right now.

Well, this here food for
the folks in the pox house.

A godly thing.

Take it to them.

Samuel.

I brought a salve for aurelia.

To help heal them cuts smooth.

She got to do just like I said.

Every single day without fail.

She got to wash herself with it.

Hello. My name's caleb.
You hear me, now?

Y-yes, yes, she's to use
the salve after each bath.

Figure somebody got to know
where she gone.

That's what you figure,

And you give her love from me.

'Cause lord knows you two
deserve a life together.

Sure.

Is that boy there dying?

Almighty god,
our heavenly father...

We hope not.

Do you ever get the feeling
like none of this matters?

It's not worth it?

Nobody cares about you
except yourself?

I never get to feeling that, no.

The new chief requests
your presence, miss phinney.

Perhaps this liniment will help.

Have you met with
major mcburney?

He defines the word "gentleman."

At the meeting this afternoon,

I should like to discuss
some new directives.

I've been giving our system
quite a bit of thought...

Yes, yes, all in good time.

See how it goes
with the major first.

Miss phinney, please sit.
Please.

As a skilled practitioner
of phrenology,

I will now feel your brain.

The baroness von olnhausen,

Much maligned at first
by my predecessor,

Only later to fall in
his good graces.

Yes, major summers...
Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I feel something.

Typical female structure.

Underdeveloped
for arts and sciences,

But stronger for religion
and care of children.

Do you have any
aboriginal blood?

I don't believe I do.

Well, see here?

Your conjugality.

My... my what, sir?

It's disproportionate
to your causality.

That's not good.

Miss phinney?

Gently, nurse mary. Take time.

Keep an eye out now.

The rapscallion's somewhere.

Okay.

Miss green
will stay here with you.

I will go find dr. Foster.

No need. I only require rest.

Emma.

I spoke with major summers
before he left.

About your position here.

He sent a letter.
It's on the dresser.

What does it say?

I'm accepted.

I don't know how to thank you.

I do.

Clearly I'm... I'm coming down
with something.

Only grippe, I hope.

But there's much going on today
that requires my attention...

A patient I'm very concerned
about, the nurses' meeting.

In my absence,
will you be my emissary?

Are these the finest you have?

Under current
import restrictions.

I was sent to you
by mrs. Fairfax.

She said you'd be helpful.

Imagine, around this rim
a golden circle of fringe.

Holding it thus,

Does it not reveal I'm within
the golden circle?

Storage room.

Frank.

Frank.

Have you spoken to emma
about me?

It will take time, frank,
for her to come around.

If I wrote her a note,
would you bring it to her?

Of course I will, but...

I can't stand her thinking
what she thinks about me.

Are you all right, frank?

I can't stay here.
They're looking for me.

My regiment needs me out there
where I could do some good.

That's why I came.

The knights intercepted an order.

Showing the only union picket
post will be on telegraph road.

Now, we can go south
across hunting creek bridge.

I'll help you sneak through.

How? My face is everywhere.

It's a horrid likeness.

And you will not be you
or the dentist.

You will be
my secret union beau.

Well we'd need papers
to get through.

A password, a uniform for me.

All of those things
are under my very roof.

I have a houseguest
who is most friendly.

Wonderful.

Such a soft mouth.

You are most fortunate
to own him, captain.

Well, take him around again.

You'll find he leaves nothing
in the barn.

Don't tempt me, else I would
steal him and ride away forever.

Leaving me to envy him.

I almost forgot.

This way, boy.

We best be going, miss alice.

Hush now, elizabeth.

Mr. Green think we in town.

Shh!

Look at what I found, captain,

On the desk tucked under
the ink blotter.

Really? How did it get there?

One of our girls might've put it
there, unless you did.

But I'd never accuse you
of such carelessness.

I will never be so careless
with the notes you send me.

Nor will I with yours.

Lacking slaves, we in the north.

Tack and brush down
our own mounts.

Why, you do chide us unfairly
for our laziness, captain.

I could tack a horse
before I could tack myself.

Well, then ride him
whenever you choose.

Well, the best bridle paths are
inland and, in a word, not safe.

Not safe?

For girls like me.

Union pickets demanding silly
secret words and documents.

In my company,
you would not be challenged.

Then I cannot ride
when I choose.

Are you tricking me, captain?

So, I must risk court-martial
by revealing union secrets?

And what's in it for me,
miss alice?

I'm chaperoned.

I shall hope for a time
when that's not the case.

Persimmon.

The current password
at the picket is "persimmon."

Shall I see you tonight
for further conversation?

I thank you,
provost marshal. We have a deal.

I got eyes for you, aurelia.

That necklace told me as much.

I do know what hurt looks like.

It's best not to do it alone.

That was for you!

That man earlier.

You saw him.

You know who he is?

I know what he claims.

He threatens your future.

What did you say to him?

That I knew nothing
of the woman he seeks.

You told him that?

The lord put those words
in my mouth,

Bending me to redemption.

In search of forgiveness
from you, from her.

She got with child, mr. Bullen.

Almost died because she didn't
want your baby inside her.

I did...

I did not know that.

I don't deserve
your forgiveness.

At least now
you can move forward.

Without fear or worry
hanging over you.

I freed you from that.

You are about to experience.

The wondrous effects
of the exhilarator.

Prepare to be rejuvenated.

Prepare to be reinvigorated.

Why is this huckster so elusive?

He moves through the wards
like an eidolon,

Ephemeral, an emanation.

We irish know the like.

Matron!
He's on the second floor.

Go get your man, miss brannan.

Descend upon him
with the ferocity.

Of the phantom queen morrigan.

You're speaking
my language, sir.

Private kendrick!

We weren't gambling, miss.
It was his idea.

Shh. I need your muscle, son,

To help roust out
this quack for good.

Dr. Hale. Major.

Earlier I failed to address
an issue of some importance...

The medical exam.

Apparently you never took it.
No, but...

Major, I'm of the belief it was
never required of dr. Hale.

Well, it's being required now.

Of all surgeons
by hammond himself.

I'll see you're scheduled
to take it.

Not to worry.
You'll have to study.

Miss hastings, moving on!

Do you feel that?

Yes, sir. It hurts.

Interesting.

What happened to miss phinney?

She's indisposed.

I'll look after you
in her place.

You're from concord, son?

Yes, sir. Same as she.

Both inspired by mr. Douglass.

Mr. Douglass?

Frederick douglass.

The former slave.
You've not heard of him?

Miss green is from here, where
mr. Douglass is less known.

How about now, son?

Does that hurt?

A bit.

Steady there, son.
We'll be back.

Did you see the lights dancing
like fireflies behind your eyes?

Have no alarm. It was the
wondrous energy of the...

Grab him, son! ...Exhilarator.

I came to visit a sick friend.

Got sick friends in hospitals
all over town, do ya?

Well, I'm a very friendly man.

Where do you want him, matron?
In the cellar.

You'll sit guard
over this swaggler.

Till the authorities take him.

The boy's spent months
in hospital with no progress.

And no explanation.
It's a wasted bed.

I'm not sure what to try that
hasn't been done elsewhere.

He needs to know someone cares.

He feels abandoned.

He's watched other boys
left maimed or to die.

We need to do something for him.

My, such adamance
for a wounded union boy.

I believe miss green
has a point.

Miss phinney asked me
to tend to him.

So tend to him I shall.

I-I-i'm sorry, dr. Foster.

We apprehended this charlatan.

Doctor? I, too, am a doctor.

Dr. Odysseus margay.

Healing with electromagnetism.

By way of my own invention,
the exhilarator.

It's patented.

Electromagnetism?

I read about something
at turner's lane.

Are you with me, dr. Hale?

I'm sorry. What? With you where?

We shall enact our familiar
dynamic to a greater good.

You too, miss green.

Took caleb to
the administration office.

You said you would.

The man there showed us
a record of travel papers.

Issued to an aurelia johnson.

She was headed up north
like you.

Thought she might've been
employed here.

When we asked that steward,
he said he never heard of her.

So I'd expect a white man not to
know one runaway from another.

You ever think this caleb
might have bad intentions?

No. He could be working for a
slave catcher for all we know.

A black man working for
a slave catcher?

I've heard things.
Why would you ever think that?

'Cause she never mentioned
leaving a man behind.

So you do know her?

That man's been in chains
his entire life.

Only now is he finally
tasting freedom.

What's the lesson he'll learn
if the first thing that happens.

Is being lied to
by one of his own color?

And how will you live with
yourself after that?

Electricity in certain cases
has been known to revitalize.

Dead or dormant musculature.
Look at what mitchell's doing.

With induction current at turner's lane.
Valid point.

I-I hear some men even walk soon
after treatment, but still...

Are you with me or against me,
hale?

Leave no stone unturned.

Son.

There's a brave boy.

This fraud was to be ejected
by order of major mcburney.

Mcburney, really? Miss hastings.

We are engaged in a radical
interventive procedure.

This is a blatant violation
of policy, which major mc...

Silence!

Sorry, doctor.

Nurse mary.

You're burning up.

That's enough, dr. Margay.

We'll leave you to recover.

Should you feel any movement,

Any movement at all
in your leg or your foot,

Be sure to have someone
fetch us promptly.

Miss green, stay with this man.

You think it'll work?

We were very convincing.

What exactly are you up to?

I thought that bit
about mitchell.

Was particularly effective.

I skipped the part where it
takes months to have any effect.

Dr. Foster!

Can you come?

A few more moments, mary.

More water, dr. Foster.

In there, matron, quickly.

The device of that mountebank?
Pure quackery, sir.

On a union patient?
And hale is in league with him?

No. Well, yes,
but coerced by dr. Foster.

Where is he now? Gone up
to tend to miss phinney.

Is my bandage properly fastened?

Yes, sir. Come with me.

Mary, don't be alarmed.

I'm going to lift you
from the bed.

And place you in water
that will be gradually chilled.

We have a matter to discuss.

What's happening here?
She has a severe fever, sir.

Most inappropriate.
Let the women mind her.

You should be down there
tending patients.

I am tending a patient.
Now, listen, captain,

Perhaps I did not
explain myself earlier.

I said I am tending a patient!

Don't be afraid.

Okay.

It's okay.

There we go.

Matron, thermometer.

Shh.
Not much longer now, dearie.

You'll bear it.

Most indecorous.

Ready toweling on the bed.

Just below normal.

Miss hastings, when we lift her,

You and the sister
wrap her quickly.

She must be dried and warmed.

There we are.

You'll be warm quickly.

You'll be warm quickly.

You've seen these spots?

Yes, they're nothing.
This is a sure sign.

No, it's... it's heat rash.

I've treated typhoid
in the crimea.

Enough of your damn crimea.
She needs to be isolated.

She has typhoid?
Miss hastings is correct.

She needs to be isolated.

Please. Please.

I can stay here,
be treated here.

Please don't let them
send me away.

I want to stay. Please.

I want to stay. You'll stay.

I promise.

You caleb?

Charlotte told me
you're looking for someone.

My wife.

We got a little boy.
Looking for him, too.

Aurelia johnson is your wife?

Slave marriage,

But I aim to do it proper now.

Boy was just a peanut
when they sold me off...

A few days old.

Maybe she took me
as gone forever.

Can't blame if she did.

You got any proof?

Proof?

Lots of folks looking for
lots of folks.

Strange times.

I got no bad intentions.

I only meant...

It's hard to find somebody now.

You're free.

You can make a new life
without her.

Or make one with her.

And my boy.

Who wouldn't choose that?

W-where'd you say you come from?

Carolina.

Then I got sold to a farm
in tennessee.

Farm burnt down.

Master took his kid
and left us on our own.

And we all scattered to the wind
till I found my way here.

Never been a slave. Am I right?

I am free born.

They call us contraband here.

Contraband. What's that?

It's a thing, ain't it?

Not a person.

A slave own nothing
except what's in his heart.

That's all I got.

Love for my wife and my boy.

Freedom mean no more hurt
from the whip.

But losing them...

That's a pain I ain't never
gonna get free from.

Too pretty to be a rebel.

She said she loved
a man in uniform.

Gentlemen.

Sir.

Have you been riding, captain?

My horses arrived from up north.

Bully for you.

I hope that you enjoy
every comfort here.

Your daughter alice has been
most generous, sir,

In helping me to acclimate,

Learn about
the local riding trails.

I know how glad she is
to have you home.

Have you been riding with her?

No, sir, no.

She merely described places
where I might enjoy to ride.

That table was
brought back from china.

As a gift from
mrs. Green's father.

She's quite fond of it.

And we do not smoke
in this room.

Miss green.
Time for the meeting.

And you, confidence man.

If you get gone
within five minutes.

And swear never to come back,

I'll turn a blind eye to you.

Corporal, miss phinney
will ask after you.

What shall I tell her?

Tell her I appreciate
her kindness,

And that the nurse she sent
as her emissary is...

Almost her equal.

I'll be nearby if you need me.

Wait!

Chaplain.

Something's happening.

Lord in heaven.

I'm rich.

Let me cheer you with some news.

The young man from concord.

My abolitionist brother.

He has regained feeling
in his leg.

What was the trouble?

All in his mind.

We implemented a nostrum,

A placebo first utilized
by haygarth in 1799.

To test a treatment known as
perkin's tractors.

Please, jed, not now.

He needed to feel
that he mattered.

And we, by which I mean you,
made sure that happened.

As for you, if it's typhoid,

The fever will come and go.

With severe joint pain
from inflammation.

It may last weeks or even...

Months.

Yes, that much I know.

I'll be nothing but a burden.

Being hard on yourself will do
nothing to speed your recovery.

Therefore I forbid such talk.

Now, let me take your pulse.

"Musculature
of the face and jaw."

Went to your room
but the door was locked.

I was not there.

I see that.

Perhaps later?

Can you name the muscles
of the face and jaw?

When you can, come see me.

I'm being punished for being
forced to take an exam.

Not punished... motivated.

Pardon me now.
The new chief awaits me.

Come in, miss hastings.

Would you please?

Quite a day.

Much to be done.

Doctors to reprimand
and correct,

Nursing staffs to organize.

But we shall persevere.

Am I hurting you?

No.

You have the hands of an angel.

How did you receive this scar,
sir?

Should I? Could I? Do I dare?

Tasked with establishing a field
hospital outside manassas.

I knew there was fire
in the distance,

But I was sure we could finish
before they got too close.

Then as I was looking one way,
boom.

Cannon fire.

The man standing next to me,
a mute imbecile from ohio,

Had lost all his front teeth
to a mule kick.

Well, a cannonball.

Completely opened up
the top of his head.

He was,
well, instantly deceased.

But what's funny...

Unusual... I mean, of relevance.

Is that bone fragments from
his shattered skull flew off,

Lodged in my cheek,
singeing deep into my flesh.

I could feel them
scrape against my molar.

So, I was asked.

To take time away from battle
for a small spell.

But soon enough, miss hastings,
with you and god on my side,

I will whip this place
into shape.

And be back at the front
before the killing is done.

With your fellow officers
on their scouting mission.

And my parents out for
the evening, the house is ours.

Only your girl banking the fires
to spy on us.

My father receives a case each
year from a friend in france.

Hard to get nice things.

With these blue jackets
blockading our ports.

Let me make up
for our obstruction.

I should like to know
more about you, captain...

Your family, what you did
growing up, your dreams.

Later.

When people are around.

Let's not waste an opportunity.

I must see that
elizabeth has retired.

Let the brandy tide you over
till I return.

Ready to go home, boy?

Locking lips with
the provost marshal, are you?

Think we're dumb?

We ain't dumb.

Yes.

I admit it.

I do think you're dumb,
banfield.

Too dumb to know
there's no better reb.

Than one trusted by the union.

I am that man.

Worth more to our cause
than 100 of you.

You got a plan?

In good time, larkin.

He smells my blood.

Hold him so I can mount.

I said hold him.

So, what do you seek,
miss green?

Orders? My correspondence?

Is there something specific?

I-I confess to such curiosity
about you, your family.

I'm getting familiar with a man
I hardly know at all.

Can't blame a girl
for being curious.

That's really
the best you can do?

I take true offense
to that tone.

Take offense?

You're a spy and a whore,
which I find offensive.

So, do I kill you myself.

Or turn you over to be hanged?

No! No!

No, let me go! Let me go!

My family will be home soon!

Aah!

Alice!

He tried to take me, father.

You son of a bitch.

This lying harlot of your...

No! No!

Alice? No!

Aah!

Get off!

Aah!

No, no! James, no!

Has her fever dropped?

A bit.

But it will spike again.

I'll watch over her tonight.

I'll be in my room.

Should anything change, find me.

Major mcburney insists.

We... we should call a doctor.

That would only
bring more trouble.

Is he dead?

My god, jimmy. So horrible.

Look at my dress.

It's so...
It was so horrible, mama.

Sweetheart.

Trying to defend
your sister's honor,

I...

I killed this man.

Father, you and I will
roll him up in this rug.

What?

No, no.

This man attacked alice.

Your father has justification.

Where do we argue that?

In their courtroom?

Before their judges?

Mother, alice,

You will write to his family
in mimicry of his hand,

Saying he contemplates
desertion.

An unfinished letter
will be left.

For the federal authorities.

Praise god, he's not dead.

There may be time yet.

It changes nothing.

No. No, jimmy, we must...

He assaulted my sister!

Had he gone to battle
to kill one of our boys,

Is it so different?

Jimmy's right.

The war isn't just out there.

It's in here, too.
It's all around us.

James.

Take the ladies from the room.

No, no, no, no. No.
