RUSSELL: What you
got for us, Claymore?

You need to report
to the Lieutenant.

- What for?
- I don't know.

It's real important, though.
Hood wants to see you.

Oh, Lord. This could
be very good or very bad.

I wouldn't keep him waitin'.

Gentlemen, I'm sure
that when you heard

that I wanted to see you,

you probably thought that
you'd done something wrong.

Well, yeah. (CHUCKLES)

- Crossed our minds.
- Mm-hm.

(SIGHS) Be assured,
the answer to that's no.

You haven't done anything wrong.

All through this war,

I have relied on advisors
to give me advice.

Some of the advisors have
been Confederate officers,

some of 'em have
been politicians.

Some of the advice has
been good, most of it not.

Some of it's as useless
as a wooden frying pan.

Well, begging the
General's pardon, but-

- No, no, no.

None of that with us here.

This is a conversation
between you three and me.

Most of your advisors have
never been in the field.

You're absolute right when
it comes to the politicians.

Now, that's the reason you're
here, is that I want to talk

with people who have
been on the front lines.

So what can we
help you with, sir?

So while we still have
control over Atlanta,

we're just about
to execute a plan

to totally destroy
a munitions train.

Munitions? You
mean Yank munitions?

No, (SIGHS) unfortunately,

this is our munitions.

And let me explain this.

We can't move the train because
the track's destroyed around

and I don't want what's on
that munitions train falling

into enemy hands where that
can be used against us.

So you want us to
blow up the train?

No, that would be
essentially a suicide mission.

I've got demolition experts
that are gonna do that for us.

What I need you three
for is what comes next.

And what might that be?

Atlanta has a substantial
warehouse district.

They've got hundreds
of businesses, stores,

brokers, warehouses.

Are any of you familiar
with this district?

I used to work there,
sir, before the war.

As soon as the Federals
take control of Atlanta,

and they move in,

I'm gonna provide you three
with Federal uniforms.

So you want us to be spies?

I've never liked
that term spies.

I prefer the term
information-seekers.

Sounds dangerous.

Not so much.

You're not to engage the enemy
in any way, shape or form.

I want you to take stock of
what's in those businesses

and warehouses with
particular interest

as to what could be
used by Sherman's army,

especially when
he's on the move.

So what do you want
us to do right now?

The Yankees have already
started shelling Atlanta.

It's scattered right now,

but if they follow suit
with every other siege

during this war, that's
only gonna intensify.

So we gonna have
to give up the city?

There's not a thing we
can do about that right now.

We don't to have the men or
the resources to prevent it.

When the Federals realize that,

that there's no significant
resistance, they'll move in.

And that's when
you need us to go in?

Correct.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Good afternoon, Mrs. Andrews.

Good afternoon, Mr. Andrews.

What's the news
from the district?

We lost another
customer today.

Mr. Woodridge vacated his space.

He's moving to Macon.

I don't know what good
he thinks that will do

in the long run.

Is he taking those
two old carriages?

CHARLOTTE: He is.

I didn't even know those
wheels could still roll.

What's he hauling
those old crates with?

He found a couple of
old mules somewhere.

He better watch
out for the soldiers.

They'll snatch 'em quick.

Maybe not, James.

You know our boys
are marching out.

The Yanks could invade
the city any day now.

When they do, there won't be
anything to hold them back.

It's just a matter
of time, Charlotte.

I'm sure they're aware
of our troop movements.

And when that day comes,

it will be a completely
different world.

It will, but it might be
something that we can handle.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

I wish your Pa would
get himself home.

It ain't safe for anybody to
be outside at night anymore.

Did he say what time
he could be expected?

EMILIA: He didn't say.

He's hunting for news
about the battle.

Eli! What're you doing with
one of your father's guns?

Put that down.

Pa says it's mine now.
It ain't loaded or nothin'.

EMILIA: He said it
was yours, to keep?

Yeah, he did.

Well, he didn't tell
me anything about it.

Put that away right now.

Can I have one?

What's a boy your
age want with a gun?

Pa said if anything
happens to him,

I'm the man of the house.

At least I know how to shoot.

Oh, Lord.

Pa.

It's about time!

We've been worried
sick about you!

You all right, John?

That engagement south of town

did not go well for our side.

You mean the Yankees won?

For now, yeah.

Are they headed this way?

Not just yet.

Well, what do you
think they're doing?

Regrouping, I'd imagine.

That won't take long.

What happens
after they regroup?

Whatever Sherman decides.

Oh, they'll come here.

He's got to take Atlanta.

(OMINOUS TONES)

(DARK MUSIC)

(DISTANT EXPLOSION ROARS)

Sounds like a storm's brewing.

ELI: Think it's thunder, Pa?

- I don't know.
- It's cannon fire.

Don't you go scaring
your brother now, Olivia.

ELI: She ain't scaring me.

(DISTANT EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

Get away from the window, Eli.

You've not been
excused from the table.

(EXPLOSION ROARS)
Get away from the window, Eli.

(EXPLOSION ROARS)

Everyone go to the next room.

Listen to your Pa. Stay
away from the windows!

(EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

I told them it was cannons.

(EXPLOSION ROARS)

(EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

Are they attacking?

Maybe not.

Maybe they're just
trying to scare us.

Well, they're
doing a good job.

JOSHUA: Mama, I
can't find my dog.

Joshua!

Where did you go?

(EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

Joshua?

Joshua.

You stay here with me!

go to Grandma's.

(EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

Shh.

(CHARLOTTE SOBS)
(EXPLOSIONS ROAR)

I think, I think it's ended.

Thank heaven.

What was the point of this?

They know our troops
have left the city.

It's terror. Pure and simple.

They're letting people and
politicians of Atlanta know

they hold the cards.

James, how difficult would
it be to arrange a meeting

with the Federal command?

I think the key person
to have involved would be

Mayor Calhoun.

If you want, tomorrow
morning we can

sit down and write him a letter.

That is a fine idea.

How's your leg feeling?

This piece of wood they
gave me as a replacement?

Don't feel like
anything, really.

But when I try to walk on it...

The pain, it grips
my brain like a vise.

(GASPS) James,
please, keep trying.

It will get easier.

You will walk again.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(KNOCKS)

(DOOR CREAKS)

ELIZABETH: Julia!
What's wrong?

Julia!

JULIA: Cannon fire,
it hit the house.

I think my dog
ran away, Grandma.

We'll find Chester
in the morning.

Is it okay if me and Joshua
stay here for a little while?

Of course it's all right.

You don't even have to ask.

(STREAM BABBLES)

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

- Is everybody all right?
- Yes.

Still got my gun in case
them Yanks try to get in.

You put that away now, Eli.

Are you all
right, Grandmother?

I'm just tired, Olivia.

Let's get you to bed.

You need your rest.

So you three are in
possession of Federal uniforms?

Yes, we are.

Well, I'm sure you know

that all of our troops have
been withdrawn from the city.

We heard about
the munitions train.

I heard that was a sight
when it was going up.

The important thing is that
Sherman has been denied use

of all of the munitions
that were on that train.

So now we go in.

Gentlemen, if I didn't
make this clear beforehand,

I want you to know,
this is not an order.

This is strictly voluntary.

But you think it's important.

I wanna know what's
in those warehouses.

This mission is a bit
dangerous, and tricky.

If anybody wants to back out
of this, I need to know now.

We're in.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

Sergeant Major, I don't
think I can get used

to wearing all this blue.

Don't get too comfortable.

And if any Yanks show
up, don't talk to 'em.

That's right. Just
salute and walk on by.

What do you want us
to do, Sergeant Major?

We need to find out exactly
what's in these buildings.

Gentlemen. How may I help you?

Are you Mrs. Andrews?

I am.

You own this place?

Yes, with my husband,
Captain James Andrews.

And where might he be?

He was severely
wounded at Vicksburg

and is now an invalid.

I oversee the warehouse
on his behalf.

Can we take a
look inside, ma'am?

There's very little left.

Most of our clients have
removed their goods.

But I would be happy to
show you what remains.

Thank you, ma'am.

Y'all know what this used to be.

Yeah, our boys
took all the horses.

No tack, nothin'.

Pitiful, pitiful.

What do you think?

Not even good for a farm.

This stuff can't
even be repaired.

CHESSMANN: All
right, let's go.

COPELAND: What
used to be here?

A big pile of somethin'.

Them's cottonseed, boys.

I don't see no cotton now.

The lady told us most of the
stuff would be cleared out.

(CHESSMANN INHALES DEEPLY)

Mm-hm.

Miss.

Gentlemen.

This here place yours?

I help my Ma and Pa run it.

Is there somethin' in particular
you men are looking for?

We're looking for a lot.

We need goods to
support our army.

What exactly do you need?

It's probably best we
look at what you have.

Well, then you need to
come talk to my Ma and Pa.

CHESSMANN: Yeah, now this
is better quality goods.

They must still
be doing business.

You think they're
taking Federal money?

Not a lot of people have it.

They must be doing
a lot of trading.

You think that weapon works?

I would think so.

Let me see.

What do you think?

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah?

Yeah, it'll work.

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

Hello, sergeants. Corporal.

When did you gentlemen
become purchasing agents

for General Sherman's army?

Orders is to find
out what you might have

that the army might to need.

Well, I built a sizable
business in the last four years

working almost exclusively
with the military.

Which military?

Well, both.

I don't play favorites.

Now the vast majority
of my transactions

with the army of the North have
been with a Colonel Peabody.

Are you familiar with him?

Come now.

Colonel Peabody is General
Sherman's quartermaster.

Fully half of the
goods in this warehouse

were requested by him.

Who do you report to?

Captain Doolittle.

I haven't had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Doolittle.

However, I will speak
to Colonel Peabody,

and if he approves
the transaction,

I'd be happy to
accommodate you gentlemen.

How long's that gonna take?

Come back and see me
in a couple of days.

If you don't mind.

We will be back.

I saw you listening in
over there, Mrs. Andrews.

There's something you
want to talk to me about?

Mr. Parker, I
have kept my silence

about your treasonous
transactions for far too long.

Ma'am, the war here in
Atlanta is purt near over.

I'm sure you're aware of that.

But there will be a
life after this war,

and I plan on living that life.

Yes, you've done well in
this war, unlike the other men.

You know my husband paid a
terrible price at Vicksburg.

But at least he
has his faculties.

He's slowly learning to walk
again on his wooden limb.

He's lucky compared
to some of the others.

Some have come back in caskets.

Some have come back in baskets,

and I think that
may be even worse.

No limbs at all, and
their spirits are broken.

Do you know people have taken
to calling them basket cases?

You know there are some who
haven't come back at all.

We hope and pray that
somehow, some way,

they may find their way home,

but we know that they may be
in some foul Federal prison

somewhere, sick, or
starving, or maybe lying dead

in a place where no
one knows their name.

But you.

You're a merchant,
not a soldier.

I am well aware of their suffering, Mrs.
Andrews, and yes,

I have made a profit on my
trades with the Federals.

But not every month, and
on some months, not at all.

Do you know why those months
were lean, Mrs. Andrews?

We are at war.

Most of what I have
acquired from the Federals

is in the form of
medical supplies.

Badly needed medical supplies

that I donated to our hospitals.

Why would someone
like you do that?

Because, like your husband,
I believed in the cause.

But this Federal Colonel,
this Colonel Peabody,

became a fine
source of laudanum,

and with that laudanum I was
able to ease the suffering

of thousands of our boys.

So is that the reason you
would sell to these men?

Yes, from these men I
would take Federal currency,

U.S. currency,

or I will trade for medical
supplies that we need.

Thank you.

(DARK MUSIC)

Good to see you
again, Mr. Parker.

I trust you will be able to
obtain the items on my list.

Most of them.

Don't tell me you're
losing your Midas touch

in these matters, can
you please explain?

Colonel, your requests
are always a challenge.

Well, yes, if they
were easily obtained,

we would not require
to your services.

All understood, but
we've been doing business

a good long while,
but up until now,

the most difficult
item to procure

has been General
Sherman's elixir.

Yes, he does love
his apple brandy.

So now the most difficult
items to procure are-

- Let me guess, the garments

for General Kilpatrick's
lady friends.

You are correct, Colonel.

Not just lingerie, but
French lingerie, from France.

Yes, yes, yes.

Please understand, in
order to procure these items,

I will have to deal
with blockade runners.

Well, I certainly
can't deal with them!

Yes, yes, but
a blockade runner

can be a very
interesting individual.

I've heard.

What about the other
items on the list?

I have them.

Thank you, I will
send a wagon around

later this evening
to collect them.

Um, you wouldn't be working

with a pair of Federal
sergeants, would you?

No.

Why do you ask?

Sergeants from your army
were at the warehouse today.

They told me they wanted
to inventory my goods

and they said they were
following orders from an officer

by the name of Doolittle.

I am not familiar with
an officer by that name.

Oddly enough, they
weren't familiar with you,

which I found to be
a little peculiar.

Yes, did you allow them
to inventory your goods?

I did not.

Best to continue
that course of action.

Well, my, my. Look
at you all gussied up.

Are you planning
on going somewhere?

Well, just wanted
to make sure these old

clothes still fit.

I got a response from the Mayor.

He set up a meeting for
tomorrow with a general

and a colonel from
Sherman's staff,

and he has someone to
be the representative

of the residential district,

and he's asked me to
be the representative

of the warehouse district.

James, that is truly
excellent news, but please,

let me be the representative
for our district.

James, how is the Mayor
planning on getting there?

Carriage.

You cannot walk a step
without considerable assistance.

And you could seriously
injure yourself

getting in and
out of a carriage.

All right, all right!

I'm sorry, Charlotte.

I just, I feel so helpless not
being able to do something.

I'm sure you'll be a fine
representative for the district,

and I know you can
handle the meeting

just as well as I could.

The Mayor will be
expecting me but

I'm sure he'll understand.

I know he will.

We need this meeting.

There was an incident
at the warehouse today.

- How so?
- Three Yanks came to see us.

Us? So not
specifically you or me?

Us, as in the district.

They wanted to see what
was in the warehouses

that could be useful
to their army.

They were inspecting
all the businesses.

- Officers?
- Sergeants.

I don't know who sent them.

Well, I'm sure
they didn't really

find anything in our place.

No, I told them everything
had already been removed,

but they wanted to
see for themselves.

I let them look.

You did the right thing.

Times like these, I think
it would be to unwise

to be contradictory.

Good afternoon. I
am Colonel Peabody.

And with me is
General Kilpatrick.

Please introduce yourselves.

I am the Mayor of
Atlanta, James Calhoun.

I am Elizabeth Davidson.

I am representing the
residential district.

I am Mrs. Andrews. I represent
the warehouse district.

Please state the
nature of your visit.

We want your
cannons to stop firing

upon our homes for no reason.

There's ample
reason, Mrs. Davidson.

The cessation of
aggressive activity depends

upon your acceptance
of our terms.

Then we need to negotiate.

There will be no negotiations.

Then please tell
us how to prevent

future attacks on our city.

Very simply, there is to
be no further resistance.

Any structure harboring
Rebel interest or thought

to be harboring Rebel
interest will be destroyed.

No exceptions.

Can you be more specific?

You must cease any
and all activities

that would impede the
advancement or operation

of the army of
the United States.

But my daughter and her
son weren't doing anything

to impede the
operations of your army.

They weren't doing anything,

and their house got
blown up by your cannons.

The threat of force without
the use of force is worthless.

What happened was a brutal
and unprovoked attack.

You haven't seen
anything yet, lady.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, ladies.

We do not need anyone to
take an adversarial position.

I second that.

We are here to create
and preserve the peace.

Thank you, Colonel.

General Kilpatrick, if
you don't mind me saying,

you sound like you're
from around here.

Is that the case?

No, it's not.

I'm from Kentucky, a fine
state that never slid

into the cesspool with
the rest of you secesh.

Mrs. Andrews, you said
that you represented

the warehouse district.

CHARLOTTE: That is correct.

Are you familiar
with a Mr. C.W. Parker?

I am familiar with Mr. Parker.

PEABODY: I'm surprised
he's not here today.

Mr. Parker is very
business-minded.

He is not so much civic-minded.

I am aware that he has had
transactions with your army.

Yet, you have not.

Do you accept U.S.
currency, Mrs. Andrews?

I have chosen not to.

That is harboring
Rebel sentiment.

This can be seen as an impediment
to our operations here.

I'm, I'm sure we
can work this out.

Gentlemen, what is
it that we can do

to further an end to this siege?

What can we do for you?

What is most important
to you right now, General?

Well, finding
adequate quarters

for our officers
would be a good start.

Well, I believe we
can help you with that.

Many of our residents
have left the area,

and there are a number of
fine homes that are empty now.

Well, not as many now,
since the cannon fire.

Understood, Mrs. Davidson,
but you do understand

that if you are
quartering a U.S. officer,

your home will be protected
by the United States army?

Would we be able to
choose which officers?

That would not be possible.

Sir, we've taken
a look at most

of those buildings
in that district.

And so what you're telling me

is there's a whole range of
stockpiles in these buildings?

About half the buildings
are empty or nearly empty.

Most of the mercantiles
are still stocked.

And then there's the brokers.

Explain "brokers."

They've been dealing
with the Yanks for a while.

Really?

Very interesting.

Some of them are out in the
open, taking Federal money.

And they won't show us
what's in their buildings.

Gentlemen, this is
sort of a chess game.

We need to know what
Sherman's plans are

before we can make
our next move.

Until we know that,

we've got another pressing issue
that demands our attention.

We're all cavalry, right?

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir.

Have any of you heard
about a Yankee blowhard

named George Stoneman?

Stoneman's raiders?

That's right.

Mr. Stoneman's had a bit of
a misstep on his last raid.

Y'all cut him off, didn't you?

You better believe it.

He was running the line
straight down to Macon.

I imagine he was gonna
try and tear the place up

like they did in Atlanta.

So what happened?

He underestimated our cavalry,

our strategy, and our resolve.

And as a result, he
got himself captured.

And so I'm happy to
tell you, right now,

Mr. Stoneman is a prisoner
of war in our possession.

Good.

His cavalry units
are still in the field,

and are scattered,
but still active.

Sounds like an opportunity.

Yep. I'd like for us
to mop that mess up.

You want a part in it?

What do you mean
you're not gonna leave?

This is where I live.

This is where I've
lived my entire life.

But Mama.

We've talked about leaving.

Mama Rivers, both
John and Olivia

heard what those soldiers said.

(ADELAIDE SIGHS)

We've talked about leaving
before and you never did.

Oh, it'll pass over.

Mama, they're
gonna burn us out!

Emilia, maybe you
can convince her.

Remember, Mama Rivers?

Remember when we talked
about staying with my sister

in Milledgeville?

Milledgeville? That's
a 100 miles from here.

Even if we made the trip,
your sister doesn't have

enough room for all of us.

Besides, those blue
coats move fast.

If they can burn us down here,

they can burn us down
there, just the same.

Then we'll find another place.

ADELAIDE: Then
we'd be refugees.

Maybe Mrs. Andrews
can take us in.

She has a big house.

Mrs. Andrews? I ain't
taking charity from her.

This is my home.

Mama Rivers, home
is not a place.

It's where your family is.

Can I talk to her?

Maybe she can help.

It's scary, isn't it?

I ain't scared for me.

I've lived my life.

But I'm frightened to death
for my younguns, you and Eli.

You know I always wanted
you to take over the store.

You have a good
head for business.

But now, you ain't got nothing.

That don't matter now.

All that matters is that we
get through this together.

Those men are gonna
come back tomorrow,

and they're gonna do what
they said they were gonna do.

We don't have a
choice, Grandmother.

This don't make no sense.

What don't make no sense?

All this struggle.

This fighting and dying.

What for?

It's all men's business.

I think you're
right about that.

All they had to do
was listen to us ladies.

It didn't have to come to this.

We could've worked it out.

But we have to
survive this war.

I personally don't think
it can last much longer.

It don't matter none.

There'll just be another war.

You give these men
a little free time,

and they'll find a reason
to start another war.

We're fighting a war now,

and your grandfather
fought a different war,

and my grandfather fought a
different war from that one.

That's what don't make no sense.

I can't lose you.

But I'd just slow
you down, Olivia.

I ain't up for no kind of trip.

Please come with us.

I need you with me.

(SIGHS) Well, we'll see
what happens tomorrow.

(LEAVES RUSTLE)

JOSHUA: Go back where
you came from, Yankees.

(MIMICS GUNFIRE)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Grandma! Grandmama!

What's wrong, Joshua?
Are you all right?

(HEAVY KNOCKS)

Yanks.

ELIZABETH: Colonel Peabody.

Pleased to meet you again.

Likewise.

(DOOR CREAKS)

Come on in.

Are these all the
occupants of the household?

Yes.

My daughter, Julianna,
and her son, Joshua,

and my daughter, Mary.

And where are all the men?

Well, sir, my husband
passed away before the war.

My condolences.

My husband is in the fight.

But we haven't heard
from him in over a year.

My daughter Mary
isn't married.

Would you mind telling me

if you are currently
involved to in a courtship?

Not at the moment,
all the men are gone.

The purpose of my visit
is to inspect these houses

for future quartering
of U.S. Army officers.

Yes, we discussed
this at the meeting.

Your place is adequate
but it is not palatial.

Thank you, I think.

If it were palatial,

General Sherman would
want it for himself.

That wouldn't be good?

Well, most of his staff,

myself included,
would be lodged here.

You would have to
find someplace else,

at least until we moved out.

Oh, dear.

That is not the
case, so no worries.

I believe this house
would to be adequate

for General Kilpatrick.

That was the General
at the meeting?

That is correct.

I didn't care for him.

You are not alone
in that sentiment.

Anything else that I should
know about this general?

Yes, two things.

First, his entourage.

Is it a large group?

Well, not particularly. It's
just that there are women.

They're not fallen
women, are they?

No, but they are very, very
close friends of the general.

I see.

You did say two things.

Yes, I would suggest you
have a word with your grandson.

I don't think playing kill
the Yankee games is prudent,

under the circumstances.

Joshua?

He's just a boy.

Mrs. Davidson,
they see every male,

regardless of age,
as a possible threat.

Gentlemen, I do have other
information seekers employed.

And here's what they've learned.

Sherman is gathering
troops and supplies,

and plans to move through
Georgia to the sea

by way of Savannah.

Essentially what this will do

is divide the South in halves.

Do you know when, sir?

Probably the second or
third week of next month.

It may change.

Even more immediate, Sherman
has given orders to his men

to burn any and all governmental
buildings in Atlanta,

with this taking place
the day after tomorrow.

What about the goods in
the warehouse district?

(SIGHS) The Yankees
will take everything

they can get their
hands on in preparation

for this upcoming march.

Well, sir, what do
you want us to do?

Gentlemen, we need to
burn all of the goods

in the warehouse district.

If we don't do that,

those goods are gonna be
used to fuel Sherman's army

in his movement southward.

But the warehouse district,
these are our people.

I don't want any of
those people to be harmed.

Your assignment is to
give all of those folks

a 24-hour notice that
the following day,

all that's gonna be
burned to the ground.

This is very important.

I want this to be done the
same day that the Yankees burn

the government buildings
in Atlanta, 'cause I want

the people in Atlanta to
think that Sherman did it.

He's going to anyway!

This has got to be done.

If you don't wanna do it,

I'll find some people
who will do it.

General, we'll
take care of it.

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

Miss Rivers, Mrs. Andrews,

I have bad news for you.

We have orders to burn the
contents of these buildings.

You intend to
burn our buildings?

You have until tomorrow
evening, 24 hours from now.

But we live here.

Fetch your father, Olivia.

Why would you burn
our warehouses?

You have 24 hours to
pack your personals and go.

And how might we evacuate?

We cannot travel by rail

because all the
trains are demolished.

We cannot travel by carriage

because the armies have taken
all our horses and mules.

Well, walk then.

Stay on the side roads.

My husband cannot walk,
and I will not leave him.

I will take whatever I can
carry back to the house.

You're not Yanks.

Are you, fellers?

I spoke to Colonel Peabody,
and he never heard of

Captain Doolittle.

How about we go down
a couple blocks?

I could introduce you to that
nice big batch of bluecoats

that are camped out down there.

I wouldn't suggest doing that.

What's this my
daughter's telling me

about y'all burning the place?

PARKER: John, they're
giving us 24 hours to evacuate.

Evacuate?

We've lived here for 30 years!

Why would you need
to burn anything?

Your army's already
taken the city.

Not their army.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Y'all ain't burning nothin'!

We could burn
it all right now,

but we're giving you a chance!

My grandmother lives upstairs.

She ain't leaving. She
ain't going nowhere.

She'll have to go.

Folks around here already
been through too much hardship.

This, this ain't right.

What're you doing
with that, Charlotte?

It's over, James.

Those three Yanks came back.

They gave us 24 hours.

Tomorrow night, they
burn everything.

What?

Why?

No explanation,
not from these men.

They're following orders.

You know how soldiers are.

I brought back the ledger.

I'm going back tomorrow
for a few small items.

Figured it would be a good
idea to have some record

of all that we've lost.

It's all happening so fast.

What do you mean?

I've barely been back a year.

Everything has fallen apart.

Our government, our
army, our whole society!

It's that damned war.

They told us it would
only last a few months,

and that we'd win!

You know, I know
what the problem was.

I know.

CHARLOTTE: And what was that?

We were spread too thin.

Don't you see?

The same weekend I had my
leg blown off in Vicksburg,

we're waging a big
battle up in Gettysburg!

Everyone believed
in the cause then.

We were on top of the world!

I mean, the army, we
thought we were gonna

march right up to the
gates of New York and then

they wouldn't have any choice
but to negotiate terms.

But we lost, James.

What we had is all gone.

But I am still thankful.

For what?

Because my husband, the
only man I have ever loved,

came back to me.

I am one of the lucky ones.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(HAT THUDS)

I received your
message, Mr. Parker.

What is the emergency?

Those Federal sergeants
came back today.

They gave everyone in the
warehouse district 24-hour notice.

24-hour notice?

For what?

They said they have orders

to burn all of the buildings
in the district tomorrow.

Where did these
orders come from?

I don't know.

Maybe this Captain Doolittle
that doesn't exist.

I will look into this
as soon as possible.

Are these orders legitimate?

I don't think so.

Mr. Parker, I don't mean
to sound superficial, but,

did you look into the
garments that I requested?

I did. They're in a
bundle at my warehouse.

A very expensive bundle.

You will be reimbursed, and
handsomely. You know this!

But I need the items removed

from your warehouse immediately!

I will.

Shall we meet here,
the day after tomorrow?

That is doable, but please,

place the items in a
discreet container.

Certainly. One last request.

My supply of laudanum
is exhausted.

You will be compensated
for the garments,

and I will have the laudanum.

Mr. Peabody, you
have always been a very

fair man to deal with.

I am a Quaker.

I know no other way.

Thank you.

(OMINOUS TONES)

(FIRE CRACKLES)

(BOYS PANT AND GROAN)

Fire, fire!

(TENSE MUSIC)

You've got your Mama?

Yeah, y'all go
ahead and get out.

Mama, the building is on fire.

You're gonna have to get out.

I'm gonna grab some money and
some guns real quick, okay?

I'll be right there, Mama.

Mama?

Mama!

The vultures are at war!

How can this be?

Do you have something
to do with this?

I do not!

Why would we do this?

Why would we burn our own goods?

This is my fortune!

Why would we burn
our own warehouse?

- The Yankees did this!
- Yankees!

They were in here
yesterday, a sergeant major.

Said we had 24 hours before
they were burning it.

Go tell the Federals,

if you wanna tell the
Federals anything.

CHARLOTTE: I
don't know about you,

but I didn't have
enough to worry about.

There's nothing else we can do.

I'm going home.

(FIRE ROARS AND CRACKLES)

(SOMBER MUSIC)
(FIRE CRACKLES)

(FIRE ROARS AND CRACKLES)

God, you know I hate
deceiving my family,

but I can't leave my home.

I grew up here, learning
the trade with Pa.

And then my husband and
I were blessed to run it

for 30 years.

(SIGHS)

John and Emilia made me so
happy when they kept it going,

and then it was supposed
to go to Olivia.

I know what I'm
planning ain't right.

I ain't asking for any
forgiveness for myself,

but God, please
watch over my family,

and send those blue devils

back to the hell they came from.

(FIRE ROARS AND CRACKLES)

(MUFFLED SOBS)

- Where's Mama, where's Mama?
- She was with you!

No, I thought she
was with you! No!

No, no!

- Olivia, no!
- No, Grandma didn't make it!

We have to go back!
She didn't make it!

- Please!
- No, Mama.

(OLIVIA SOBS)
(FIRE CRACKLES)

(SOMBER MUSIC)
(FIRE CRACKLES)

Gentlemen, you
executed your mission

to perfection and
with perfect timing,

and for that, I thank you.

If you don't mind me
asking, sir, what's next?

Let me ask you.

What would you think
our next move would be?

Go chasing after Sherman
and stopping him if we can.

Nope.

I'm headed north,
back into Tennessee.

I'm gonna make it
known far and wide

that we're going into Ohio.

Why?

Are you headed for Ohio?

I'm gonna go as far
north as possible.

The goal is to draw Sherman
away from his intended march.

But if Sherman's
heading south?

I understand, but
I'm headed north.

This is gonna be our
Tennessee campaign.

What we wanna do is interrupt
Sherman's march southward

and divert him to where
he's gonna try to stop us

from going to Ohio.

This will be
completely unexpected.

Mark my word.
