Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:04:41,012 --> 00:04:42,364
Lieutenant Freeman?
2
00:04:42,531 --> 00:04:44,406
Mrs. Hazard, ma'am, how are you?
3
00:04:44,609 --> 00:04:46,961
Just fine. Have you seen my husband?
4
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:52,026
He left an hour ago. He's positioning a
battery over by the Rock Creek area.
5
00:04:53,076 --> 00:04:57,190
Thank you. Do you really think the
Southern army will invade Washington?
6
00:04:57,832 --> 00:04:59,707
Well, with the Rebs...
7
00:05:01,387 --> 00:05:05,933
Excuse me, ma'am, the Southern
army only 20 miles away...
8
00:05:06,421 --> 00:05:09,137
Well, better to be safe than sorry.
9
00:05:10,256 --> 00:05:13,166
But I'm sure your husband knows
more about a possible battle...
10
00:05:13,333 --> 00:05:15,603
...now that he has his transfer
to the sharpshooters.
11
00:05:17,486 --> 00:05:18,759
Sharpshooters?
12
00:05:18,964 --> 00:05:20,998
I'm sorry, ma'am. I thought you knew.
13
00:05:21,201 --> 00:05:22,997
No, I...
14
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:26,673
Thank you, sir, for the information.
15
00:05:27,276 --> 00:05:30,103
Why don't you let me get you an escort.
16
00:05:30,269 --> 00:05:33,179
I can find my way, lieutenant.
Thank you.
17
00:05:48,288 --> 00:05:51,516
Little Miss Molasses with her darky.
18
00:05:51,724 --> 00:05:54,520
What you hear from Jeffie Davis,
honey child?
19
00:05:57,078 --> 00:05:59,190
Something wrong with your hearing,
Reb?
20
00:05:59,354 --> 00:06:02,423
We don't want any trouble.
Please just leave us alone.
21
00:06:02,631 --> 00:06:05,587
Why don't you tell that to
your people that attacked...
22
00:06:05,748 --> 00:06:09,816
...our troops coming through Baltimore.
- Take your hands off that bridle.
23
00:06:10,023 --> 00:06:13,010
We're white men.
You can't talk to us like that.
24
00:06:13,179 --> 00:06:14,972
You're talking to us like we're slaves.
25
00:06:17,054 --> 00:06:18,327
Giddap!
26
00:06:34,873 --> 00:06:37,462
Primary field of fire, all four guns,
is across the river.
27
00:06:37,629 --> 00:06:39,217
Georgetown to the Chain Bridge.
28
00:06:39,744 --> 00:06:43,050
The secondary position will be
to cover the northern approaches.
29
00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:48,288
I'm looking for my husband,
Lieutenant Hazard.
30
00:06:48,653 --> 00:06:50,563
Thank you, sir.
31
00:06:51,571 --> 00:06:52,762
Excuse me, sergeant.
32
00:06:54,885 --> 00:06:56,158
Brett!
33
00:06:56,805 --> 00:06:58,634
Billy!
34
00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,189
I got a transfer. I'm gonna be
in the 1 st U.S. Sharpshooters.
35
00:07:04,355 --> 00:07:06,865
It's a new regimen just
authorized by Congress.
36
00:07:07,109 --> 00:07:10,497
I didn't want to tell you until
it came through. Isn't it great?
37
00:07:11,425 --> 00:07:13,778
You'll be in the thick of the fighting.
38
00:07:14,383 --> 00:07:16,451
Why couldn't you stay
with the engineers?
39
00:07:16,661 --> 00:07:19,886
Brett, I'm a soldier.
Soldiers are supposed to fight.
40
00:07:20,136 --> 00:07:23,760
Our ancestors fought so the U.S.
Could be free. I could make history.
41
00:07:23,971 --> 00:07:26,037
By killing Southerners?
42
00:07:31,802 --> 00:07:33,675
I didn't mean your family.
43
00:07:33,837 --> 00:07:36,951
I know a lot of Southerners
love the Union and don't want war.
44
00:07:37,114 --> 00:07:39,182
But they're gonna fight
for the Confederacy.
45
00:07:39,393 --> 00:07:43,176
Good people will be killed. Is that
the kind of history you want to make?
46
00:07:50,738 --> 00:07:52,771
It's gonna be all right.
47
00:07:54,892 --> 00:07:58,278
Everybody says the war will be over
in one big battle.
48
00:07:58,848 --> 00:08:01,721
When I leave for camp, go to Belvedere
and stay with my mother.
49
00:08:03,401 --> 00:08:04,799
What about Semiramis?
50
00:08:06,357 --> 00:08:09,789
I'll make arrangements for her
to get safely to Mont Royal.
51
00:08:11,392 --> 00:08:13,460
Why are we fighting?
52
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:18,219
Because you never told me
any of this, Billy.
53
00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:24,172
I don't want anything
to happen to you.
54
00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:31,720
If I'm to believe the Charleston
recruiting officer...
55
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:35,272
...I'd better ride day and night to reach
Virginia before the war's over.
56
00:08:35,443 --> 00:08:38,714
- It won't be that easy, Charles.
- Most of us were born on horseback.
57
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:40,786
We'll ride circles around those Yankees.
58
00:08:40,956 --> 00:08:43,102
There's three of them
to every one of us.
59
00:08:43,272 --> 00:08:45,624
I'll take those odds any day.
60
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:49,461
It's a shame you gotta rub shoulders
with the president of the Confederacy...
61
00:08:49,625 --> 00:08:51,817
...instead of riding
with Wade Hampton's Legion.
62
00:08:52,941 --> 00:08:54,293
Orry...
63
00:08:56,815 --> 00:08:58,451
I'm gonna miss you.
64
00:08:59,052 --> 00:09:02,836
You're a lot more than a cousin to me,
Charles. You're like a little brother.
65
00:09:03,048 --> 00:09:05,878
So I don't want you taking
any unnecessary chances.
66
00:09:06,405 --> 00:09:09,632
- You know me.
- That's what worries me.
67
00:09:11,877 --> 00:09:15,830
Charles reminds me so much of Orry
when he went off to fight in Mexico.
68
00:09:16,229 --> 00:09:20,856
He came back from that war.
And they'll come back from this one.
69
00:09:21,065 --> 00:09:23,532
I can't believe what happened.
70
00:09:23,703 --> 00:09:28,247
Our dearest friends, the Hazards.
Billy, my son-in-law...
71
00:09:28,616 --> 00:09:32,322
- Torn apart by war.
- Maybe it won't last very long.
72
00:09:33,931 --> 00:09:36,157
I do hope so, my dear.
73
00:09:37,485 --> 00:09:40,041
The two handsomest men
in the Confederacy.
74
00:09:40,202 --> 00:09:43,110
You even make those uniforms
look good.
75
00:09:44,796 --> 00:09:46,308
Watch out, Aunt Clarissa!
76
00:09:46,475 --> 00:09:49,225
I may take you with me.
I can't live without your corn bread.
77
00:09:49,392 --> 00:09:50,618
Dear Charles.
78
00:09:54,584 --> 00:09:57,334
I'm not ready to say goodbye.
79
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,013
I never wanted this war.
80
00:10:00,977 --> 00:10:05,885
But we'd be without pride and honor
if we let the North tell us how to live.
81
00:10:06,450 --> 00:10:09,802
There are things worth fighting for,
Madeline, this land...
82
00:10:09,966 --> 00:10:12,079
...our families, our way of life...
83
00:10:12,802 --> 00:10:14,313
And you.
84
00:10:17,478 --> 00:10:21,146
I can't wait till you become
Mrs. Orry Main.
85
00:10:21,310 --> 00:10:23,061
And once your divorce is final...
86
00:10:23,308 --> 00:10:26,502
...I'll get you to a preacher
quicker than you can say, "I do."
87
00:10:26,904 --> 00:10:28,858
I do.
88
00:10:38,890 --> 00:10:42,719
Sport, the war will be over before that
general gets through saying goodbye.
89
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,100
Charles can't wait to get on the road
now that he's heard Virginia belles...
90
00:10:59,265 --> 00:11:01,411
...outshine even our
South Carolina beauties.
91
00:11:03,778 --> 00:11:05,289
Mother.
92
00:11:06,215 --> 00:11:07,886
You take care of yourself.
93
00:11:08,054 --> 00:11:11,758
Oh, Orry, I promised myself
I wouldn't cry.
94
00:11:11,969 --> 00:11:13,367
Now...
95
00:11:13,528 --> 00:11:17,514
There'll be no time for tears. You'll be
too busy running this plantation.
96
00:11:38,257 --> 00:11:39,974
There's a war waiting on us.
97
00:11:40,175 --> 00:11:42,208
Time's a-wasting.
98
00:11:53,637 --> 00:11:55,227
Cuffey.
99
00:11:56,233 --> 00:11:59,028
Don't worry, Mr. Orry.
I'll take care of everything.
100
00:11:59,189 --> 00:12:00,780
I know you will.
101
00:12:15,809 --> 00:12:17,719
Race you to the war!
102
00:13:09,983 --> 00:13:11,733
Take care, Charles.
103
00:14:02,556 --> 00:14:05,910
I must say, gentlemen, I consider this
a great honor, and I thank you.
104
00:14:06,073 --> 00:14:09,221
You do us the honor, Mr. LaMotte,
accepting your commission.
105
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:11,343
All of us on the militia general staff...
106
00:14:11,507 --> 00:14:14,176
...feel your qualifications
make you an ideal colonel...
107
00:14:14,344 --> 00:14:18,330
...to turn our green volunteers into
soldiers to defend South Carolina.
108
00:14:18,497 --> 00:14:21,769
I shall start recruiting in my
district immediately, sir.
109
00:14:21,933 --> 00:14:24,649
May I tell you how much
we've enjoyed your hospitality...
110
00:14:24,810 --> 00:14:29,320
...Colonel LaMotte, although I must say
I did miss seeing your lovely wife.
111
00:14:29,484 --> 00:14:31,313
Is Mrs. LaMotte ailing?
112
00:14:31,681 --> 00:14:35,307
Mrs. LaMotte is no longer
residing at Resolute.
113
00:14:35,917 --> 00:14:37,666
You'll have to forgive Mr. Clay.
114
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:41,425
He's been in legislature at Columbia
since the Fort Sumter crisis...
115
00:14:41,588 --> 00:14:43,735
...and wasn't aware of your
domestic situation.
116
00:14:43,905 --> 00:14:47,780
My domestic situation is
of no concern to anyone, sir.
117
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:51,130
Gentlemen, good day.
118
00:14:51,978 --> 00:14:53,614
Good day, sir.
119
00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:22,736
Well, sure and you're a fine
figure of a man, George Hazard.
120
00:15:24,376 --> 00:15:26,171
You look as handsome in that uniform...
121
00:15:26,334 --> 00:15:29,641
...as you did the first night
we danced together in Mexico.
122
00:15:35,084 --> 00:15:38,832
After the Mexican War, I swore
I'd never wear a uniform again.
123
00:15:39,077 --> 00:15:43,988
But I just can't sit here in Lehigh Station
while the country's being torn in half.
124
00:15:44,910 --> 00:15:47,024
I agree with the president.
125
00:15:47,508 --> 00:15:50,100
The Union must be preserved.
126
00:15:51,422 --> 00:15:52,774
But regulations or not...
127
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:56,292
...they'll have to court-martial me
before I wear this ridiculous hat.
128
00:15:57,375 --> 00:16:00,045
Even I'd have to think twice
before wearing that thing.
129
00:16:00,212 --> 00:16:03,724
I shouldn't be going to Washington.
I should have requested a field command.
130
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:08,638
Now, George, the president
wants you on his staff.
131
00:16:08,841 --> 00:16:10,795
Not just because you're a West Pointer.
132
00:16:11,438 --> 00:16:14,506
It's because he knows an
exceptional man, just as I do.
133
00:16:14,714 --> 00:16:18,986
My brother's close to Lincoln, and he
feels the president will mobilize us...
134
00:16:19,149 --> 00:16:22,103
...and not just the military,
but the private sector too.
135
00:16:22,264 --> 00:16:23,901
That includes Hazard Iron...
136
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,649
Isabel, I hope we're doing the right
thing. There is a war on.
137
00:16:31,135 --> 00:16:33,246
A party like this might be
in bad taste.
138
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:36,564
We're just celebrating the departure
of our very own hero.
139
00:16:36,847 --> 00:16:40,119
After all, we're the most prominent
family in this part of the state.
140
00:16:40,283 --> 00:16:42,475
People will see it as our patriotic duty.
141
00:16:42,641 --> 00:16:45,866
I'm not sure how happy George
is with all this fanfare.
142
00:16:46,075 --> 00:16:50,585
The army's best officers have resigned
and gone south, which they'll regret.
143
00:16:50,748 --> 00:16:53,384
Because the Confederate
cause may already be lost.
144
00:16:53,586 --> 00:16:55,574
Those of us who run important
companies...
145
00:16:55,743 --> 00:16:58,494
...create the engine that'll power
the Union to quick victory.
146
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:01,374
As a matter of fact, I've already
drawn up plans...
147
00:17:14,878 --> 00:17:17,469
I'm afraid you're going to
have to be the colonel.
148
00:17:17,756 --> 00:17:21,824
Thank you very much, but I haven't
done anything yet to deserve this.
149
00:17:23,629 --> 00:17:27,617
I'd like to think that this is not only for
those of us who are going off to war...
150
00:17:27,824 --> 00:17:29,618
...but for those who've already left...
151
00:17:29,781 --> 00:17:32,371
...including my younger brother,
Lt. William Hazard...
152
00:17:32,538 --> 00:17:35,890
...and especially for those who
are staying here at home...
153
00:17:36,054 --> 00:17:40,725
...working for the Union cause
with the same dedication and spirit.
154
00:17:40,889 --> 00:17:45,433
Including my eldest brother, Stanley,
who will run Hazard Iron in my absence.
155
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,828
Thank you very much.
156
00:17:56,627 --> 00:17:59,934
- We have confidence in you, Stanley.
- Thank you, George.
157
00:18:00,103 --> 00:18:02,411
- You'll do a great job. Good luck.
- Thank you.
158
00:18:02,581 --> 00:18:06,366
All of this makes me know
you really are going to leave us.
159
00:18:06,537 --> 00:18:09,125
I'm going to miss you both so much.
160
00:18:12,727 --> 00:18:16,556
- Your guests are eager to meet you.
- Thank you, Isabel.
161
00:18:16,842 --> 00:18:18,115
Mother.
162
00:18:23,554 --> 00:18:27,224
Don't let sentiment interfere
with our plans, my darling.
163
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:31,940
Now isn't just a chance
to profit from this foolish war...
164
00:18:32,105 --> 00:18:35,571
...but for you to be the man
you've always wanted to be.
165
00:19:08,539 --> 00:19:12,085
General. President Davis is waiting.
166
00:19:13,814 --> 00:19:15,962
Mr. President, I appreciate
your sentiments...
167
00:19:16,131 --> 00:19:18,198
...but we simply cannot afford
to temporize.
168
00:19:18,367 --> 00:19:20,673
The North will strangle the South
if we do.
169
00:19:20,845 --> 00:19:22,595
Excuse me. I was told
to join you...
170
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:26,305
Indeed, sir. Gentlemen,
Brigadier General Orry Main.
171
00:19:26,555 --> 00:19:30,431
General Robert E. Lee, my military
adviser, and members of my Cabinet.
172
00:19:30,872 --> 00:19:34,938
Our agents in the federal capital
have shown us how the North...
173
00:19:35,306 --> 00:19:39,181
...plans to crush us in the coils
of a giant water snake.
174
00:19:39,501 --> 00:19:41,854
That is precisely the situation, sir.
175
00:19:42,018 --> 00:19:45,721
All down the Eastern seaboard
to the Florida Keys...
176
00:19:45,891 --> 00:19:48,607
...then along the gulf to New Orleans.
177
00:19:48,768 --> 00:19:51,280
Their navy would
seal off the Confederacy.
178
00:19:51,525 --> 00:19:55,754
They will send their western army
south to secure the Border States.
179
00:19:56,241 --> 00:19:59,512
- And cut the Confederacy in two.
- Never. Never.
180
00:19:59,676 --> 00:20:01,231
But it would be daring.
181
00:20:01,393 --> 00:20:04,985
They could squeeze us to death by
cutting off our supplies and weapons...
182
00:20:05,148 --> 00:20:07,580
...from Texas, the ports
of Mexico and Europe.
183
00:20:07,746 --> 00:20:10,099
Scott, their general in chief
and a Virginian...
184
00:20:10,382 --> 00:20:12,768
...opposed this far-fetched strategy.
185
00:20:12,939 --> 00:20:14,928
The man is a traitor to the South.
186
00:20:15,097 --> 00:20:19,324
To be a Southerner and believe in the
Union does not make one a traitor, sir...
187
00:20:19,493 --> 00:20:20,922
...or I would not be here.
188
00:20:21,129 --> 00:20:25,721
I realize you turned down Lincoln's
offer to command the Yankee armies...
189
00:20:25,885 --> 00:20:28,347
...but I had no idea...
- Mr. President...
190
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,350
...I believe secession is
unconstitutional...
191
00:20:31,516 --> 00:20:35,188
...and slavery is a moral and political
evil in any society.
192
00:20:35,392 --> 00:20:37,268
Then why have you joined us?
193
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:41,015
Because I could not draw
my sword against Virginia.
194
00:20:41,622 --> 00:20:43,577
My loyalty and my affections...
195
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:47,446
...and those of my family for five
generations belong to her.
196
00:20:47,616 --> 00:20:50,048
That is why I'm here, sir.
197
00:20:50,373 --> 00:20:54,078
Now, if we are to have any
chance at all to defeat the North...
198
00:20:54,247 --> 00:20:58,838
...we must enlist our own snake and
strike like a cobra, right at their vitals.
199
00:20:59,201 --> 00:21:02,827
- The federal capital of Washington...
- Sir, I do not agree with you!
200
00:21:03,037 --> 00:21:06,867
Many of our state militias would
refuse to join an invasion of the North.
201
00:21:07,073 --> 00:21:10,299
Mr. President, if you allow
the individual states to dictate our...
202
00:21:10,467 --> 00:21:13,422
Lincoln maneuvered us into firing
the first shot at Fort Sumter.
203
00:21:13,584 --> 00:21:15,971
I'll not let him brand me
the aggressor again.
204
00:21:16,142 --> 00:21:19,971
Next time, the North
will be the first to fire!
205
00:21:21,256 --> 00:21:24,844
Enough for today, gentlemen.
General Main?
206
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:29,719
You must be wondering
why I summoned you here.
207
00:21:29,925 --> 00:21:32,994
- To be honest, sir, yes.
- Your cotton mill in South Carolina...
208
00:21:33,161 --> 00:21:36,147
...was one of the first in
the South and very successful.
209
00:21:36,794 --> 00:21:40,544
We showed excellent profit, but now
the mill is producing war materials.
210
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:44,018
My partner and I had to liquidate,
as he's from Pennsylvania.
211
00:21:44,227 --> 00:21:49,092
That's another tragedy in all this: The
destruction of old and dear friendships.
212
00:21:49,342 --> 00:21:52,851
George and I hope to continue
that friendship someday, sir.
213
00:21:54,335 --> 00:21:55,765
Son...
214
00:21:57,171 --> 00:22:00,522
My government desperately
needs your expertise.
215
00:22:00,685 --> 00:22:03,673
I needn't tell you how few factories
we have in the South.
216
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,069
- And the shortage of raw materials...
- I know, sir. I know.
217
00:22:07,238 --> 00:22:11,670
That's why I need you. To make our
war machine as efficient as possible.
218
00:22:12,193 --> 00:22:14,067
I'll do my best. You have my word.
219
00:22:14,869 --> 00:22:17,059
That's all any of us can do.
220
00:22:20,341 --> 00:22:24,216
The Union has a substantial force here,
beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains...
221
00:22:24,376 --> 00:22:27,047
...60 miles to the west
of their capital.
222
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:30,250
So we've had to post
11,000 of our men...
223
00:22:30,411 --> 00:22:34,033
...to stop them from invading
the Shenandoah Valley.
224
00:22:34,804 --> 00:22:39,269
Now the main Yankee army is
massing here, outside Washington.
225
00:22:40,157 --> 00:22:42,305
Looks like they'll drive
through eastern Virginia.
226
00:22:42,475 --> 00:22:45,190
That's probably where
we'll have to fight them.
227
00:22:45,470 --> 00:22:48,140
Captain Main, ride north of Centerville.
228
00:22:48,307 --> 00:22:53,057
See how big a force they have, and
if they appear ready to move south.
229
00:22:53,261 --> 00:22:57,170
Don't take risks trying to take
a prisoner. I need information...
230
00:22:58,017 --> 00:23:00,128
...not dead scouts.
231
00:23:01,371 --> 00:23:04,404
- Yes, sir.
- Good luck, captain.
232
00:23:08,444 --> 00:23:10,909
Oh, that's just fine, corporal.
233
00:23:12,636 --> 00:23:14,828
- A haircut?
- A trim.
234
00:23:14,994 --> 00:23:18,585
Just because there's a war on doesn't
mean we stop being gentlemen.
235
00:23:19,109 --> 00:23:23,302
- Thank you, corporal.
- Ambrose, you never cease to amaze me.
236
00:23:23,464 --> 00:23:25,020
Well, thank you, Charles.
237
00:23:25,661 --> 00:23:28,251
Come on. I need a volunteer,
and you're it.
238
00:23:30,255 --> 00:23:32,163
A volunteer.
239
00:24:08,646 --> 00:24:10,442
Yankees.
240
00:24:43,805 --> 00:24:46,361
Stay off to the woods.
Maybe we can lose them.
241
00:25:06,096 --> 00:25:07,369
It's a woman.
242
00:25:14,487 --> 00:25:16,758
We got enough trouble
without borrowing more.
243
00:25:49,802 --> 00:25:52,030
Took you long enough
to decide to help me.
244
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,630
Might at least say thank you.
245
00:25:53,797 --> 00:25:58,069
Just get me out of this mess. I gotta get
these medicines through to your troops.
246
00:26:01,946 --> 00:26:03,855
I'll take her.
You detour the Yankees.
247
00:26:04,064 --> 00:26:08,895
- We'll meet at the fork near the river.
- I see rank has certain privileges.
248
00:26:15,210 --> 00:26:16,767
Boys! Back!
249
00:26:46,014 --> 00:26:48,444
I can take care of myself, captain.
250
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:51,045
I'm sure you can.
251
00:27:19,133 --> 00:27:21,881
- About time you got here.
- Those Yankees could double back.
252
00:27:22,087 --> 00:27:24,553
Last time I saw them
they were chasing their tails.
253
00:27:24,724 --> 00:27:27,236
My farm's a few miles up the road.
Let's not sit here.
254
00:27:27,441 --> 00:27:30,192
That does it. You could
show us a little gratitude.
255
00:27:30,439 --> 00:27:33,507
I'm sorry. Augusta Barclay, captain.
256
00:27:33,995 --> 00:27:35,425
Charles Main.
257
00:27:35,912 --> 00:27:40,218
- Ambrose Pell.
- I am grateful, more than you know.
258
00:27:40,427 --> 00:27:43,812
I've been smuggling quinine and
morphine from Union hospitals.
259
00:27:43,981 --> 00:27:45,333
If they'd caught me...
260
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:48,294
Couldn't let anything happen
to a Virginia belle, could we?
261
00:27:48,455 --> 00:27:50,728
We'll see you get home
safely, ma'am.
262
00:28:21,455 --> 00:28:23,091
Hello!
263
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:27,398
Ma'am, we were
worried about you.
264
00:28:27,608 --> 00:28:31,833
I ran into these officers on the road,
and I must say, I'm awful glad I did.
265
00:28:32,001 --> 00:28:35,671
Captain Main, Lieutenant Pell,
this is Washington and his son, Boz.
266
00:28:35,837 --> 00:28:37,189
We'll see to your horses.
267
00:28:37,355 --> 00:28:40,583
- We'd best be on our way.
- Let me offer you some supper.
268
00:28:40,752 --> 00:28:41,979
It's the least I can do.
269
00:28:42,150 --> 00:28:45,455
- Thanks, but...
- We'd be honored to accept your offer.
270
00:28:45,626 --> 00:28:50,011
A man has to eat, and I have a feeling
the lady's cooking's better than yours.
271
00:28:50,379 --> 00:28:53,412
I'm not fighting for the South
if it means keeping slavery.
272
00:28:53,574 --> 00:28:57,767
I'm fighting for the place where I live.
That's why most of the men joined up.
273
00:28:58,009 --> 00:29:00,600
Sometimes I wonder if
Mr. Davis understands that.
274
00:29:00,967 --> 00:29:05,000
- I think he does, deep down.
- Like you?
275
00:29:06,561 --> 00:29:08,436
I don't believe in this war.
276
00:29:08,597 --> 00:29:12,061
Just doing what I can to make things
easier for those who have to fight it.
277
00:29:16,866 --> 00:29:18,536
Yes...
278
00:29:19,144 --> 00:29:21,940
Thank you for the fine meal, ma'am,
but we have to leave.
279
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:24,733
I want to reach the Yankee
encampments before morning.
280
00:29:26,695 --> 00:29:29,603
Well, I'll get the horses.
Excuse me, ma'am.
281
00:29:37,283 --> 00:29:41,871
Does your husband object to the work
you're doing? It seems a bit dangerous.
282
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:47,226
My husband died a few years ago.
He was a good man.
283
00:29:48,468 --> 00:29:52,931
Older than me. Learned a
great deal from him.
284
00:29:54,219 --> 00:29:56,367
Sounds like you really miss him.
285
00:29:57,376 --> 00:30:00,569
With all the work there is to do,
and my other activities...
286
00:30:00,933 --> 00:30:03,125
...there's not much time to be lonely.
287
00:30:06,285 --> 00:30:08,352
Thank you again, Mrs. Barclay.
288
00:30:08,562 --> 00:30:09,913
It's Augusta, captain.
289
00:30:22,386 --> 00:30:24,102
- Good luck.
- Goodbye.
290
00:30:24,943 --> 00:30:27,976
- Take care of yourself, Washington.
- Goodbye, captain.
291
00:30:28,138 --> 00:30:31,207
- Thank you very much, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Boz.
292
00:30:32,254 --> 00:30:34,639
Captain, lieutenant.
293
00:30:41,282 --> 00:30:43,714
That is some kind of lady.
294
00:30:47,834 --> 00:30:49,390
Good night.
295
00:31:06,051 --> 00:31:07,482
Mrs. Grady?
296
00:31:07,769 --> 00:31:09,644
I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.
297
00:31:09,806 --> 00:31:12,762
I had difficulty finding your letter
of application.
298
00:31:12,964 --> 00:31:15,553
I sent it when I first heard
about the nursing corps.
299
00:31:15,918 --> 00:31:19,032
I have many skills,
and I can learn others very quickly.
300
00:31:19,195 --> 00:31:22,706
- I'm afraid there's more to it than that.
- I don't understand.
301
00:31:22,990 --> 00:31:25,218
Sit, please. Mary?
302
00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:29,776
We make it a point to find out
as much as possible...
303
00:31:29,941 --> 00:31:32,010
...about the women who apply to us.
304
00:31:32,178 --> 00:31:36,088
Perhaps you've heard that Mrs. Dix is
quite concerned that we don't attract...
305
00:31:36,255 --> 00:31:38,448
...well, the wrong sort of woman.
306
00:31:39,611 --> 00:31:41,917
Are you saying that I'm the wrong
sort of woman?
307
00:31:42,248 --> 00:31:44,234
Let me be direct, Mrs. Grady.
308
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:48,790
We've learned you spent three
months in an asylum for the insane.
309
00:31:48,958 --> 00:31:52,948
That was after my husband's death.
That doesn't mean I'm crazy.
310
00:31:53,674 --> 00:31:56,900
Nursing in wartime is difficult
and dangerous work.
311
00:31:57,068 --> 00:31:59,136
There'll be hideous suffering
and death.
312
00:31:59,306 --> 00:32:01,818
We can't send a nurse who
might break under the strain.
313
00:32:02,223 --> 00:32:05,336
My husband was murdered
at Harpers Ferry.
314
00:32:05,698 --> 00:32:07,891
Surely you can understand
the grief of a woman.
315
00:32:08,055 --> 00:32:10,611
Even if others consider it madness.
316
00:32:10,771 --> 00:32:14,553
There is also the matter of
your abolitionist views.
317
00:32:14,726 --> 00:32:18,431
- Some of your causes, we just...
- Such as marrying a Negro?
318
00:32:19,881 --> 00:32:23,552
That was not a cause, Mrs. Reilly.
That was love.
319
00:32:23,717 --> 00:32:26,305
Your marriage has nothing
to do with this.
320
00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:29,585
I'm sorry, but I must reject your
letter of application.
321
00:32:29,787 --> 00:32:34,175
Then I must inform you I have highly
placed friends in the government.
322
00:32:34,862 --> 00:32:38,644
I'm afraid this isn't a matter
of personal influence.
323
00:32:41,493 --> 00:32:44,402
You and Mrs. Dix have not
seen the last of me.
324
00:32:44,610 --> 00:32:47,120
I promise you that, Mrs. Reilly.
325
00:33:18,768 --> 00:33:23,357
We were married in such a hurry, I never
had time to get your ring engraved.
326
00:33:32,831 --> 00:33:34,385
"Forever."
327
00:33:34,866 --> 00:33:36,457
I think that calls for a toast.
328
00:33:36,625 --> 00:33:38,056
Yes.
329
00:33:38,222 --> 00:33:40,131
To the Hazards.
330
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,209
And the Mains.
331
00:33:42,778 --> 00:33:46,370
May God keep our families safe and bring
us together when this is all through.
332
00:33:46,534 --> 00:33:47,884
Hear, hear.
333
00:33:59,317 --> 00:34:01,191
Isn't that your family at the far end?
334
00:34:01,393 --> 00:34:04,189
Yes, it is.
Could we please find our table?
335
00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:07,701
- Who's she with?
- Sam Greene.
336
00:34:09,666 --> 00:34:11,734
He's a congressman.
337
00:34:12,423 --> 00:34:15,726
Constance, that dress.
Isn't it your Worth gown?
338
00:34:17,534 --> 00:34:22,125
Yes. Virgilia liked it so much
that I gave it to her.
339
00:34:24,847 --> 00:34:26,403
Excuse me.
340
00:34:48,856 --> 00:34:52,242
That's all right, don't get up. I just
wanna say goodbye to my sister.
341
00:34:52,413 --> 00:34:54,365
I leave in the morning, Virgilia.
342
00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:56,875
I may not see you until the war's over.
343
00:35:00,121 --> 00:35:02,189
I just want to wish you all the best.
344
00:35:03,078 --> 00:35:04,305
Billy.
345
00:35:05,676 --> 00:35:07,585
Take care of yourself.
346
00:35:13,825 --> 00:35:16,461
One member of the Hazard family
seems to care about you.
347
00:35:16,941 --> 00:35:19,214
I prefer not to discuss my family.
348
00:35:20,617 --> 00:35:22,731
We have more important
things to discuss.
349
00:35:23,374 --> 00:35:25,486
I have missed seeing you.
350
00:35:26,170 --> 00:35:29,044
Why did you wait so long to tell me
you were in Washington?
351
00:35:29,207 --> 00:35:31,274
Because I wasn't ready
to see you yet.
352
00:35:35,759 --> 00:35:37,429
And now you are?
353
00:35:40,551 --> 00:35:42,982
I need your help again, Sam.
354
00:35:43,788 --> 00:35:45,061
I want to be a nurse.
355
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:48,295
It seems to be the only way
a woman can fight this war.
356
00:35:48,463 --> 00:35:51,655
And I've run into difficulty
that I didn't plan on.
357
00:35:52,497 --> 00:35:55,531
Why? You're certainly charming
enough. I can attest to that.
358
00:35:56,293 --> 00:36:00,805
Dorothea Dix sets very high
standards for her nursing corps.
359
00:36:01,008 --> 00:36:03,519
And charm doesn't seem
to be a prerequisite.
360
00:36:04,442 --> 00:36:07,430
I know that a number of women
have been turned down, but...
361
00:36:07,597 --> 00:36:09,710
I haven't even gotten
past her aide, Sam.
362
00:36:09,874 --> 00:36:11,942
Why? Thank you.
363
00:36:12,112 --> 00:36:13,669
What's the problem?
364
00:36:15,789 --> 00:36:19,459
Have you forgotten
that I was in an asylum?
365
00:36:21,222 --> 00:36:23,255
Her aides found out about it.
366
00:36:24,098 --> 00:36:27,168
And you want me to talk to
Mrs. Dix on your behalf.
367
00:36:28,652 --> 00:36:30,130
Would you, please, Sam?
368
00:36:30,291 --> 00:36:31,563
Well...
369
00:36:31,769 --> 00:36:35,837
Sam, your recommendation would
override anything her staff might say.
370
00:36:36,003 --> 00:36:37,481
And you could explain to her...
371
00:36:37,681 --> 00:36:40,034
My reward will be...?
372
00:36:41,957 --> 00:36:45,740
My friendship and support, as always.
373
00:36:50,385 --> 00:36:52,692
You never fail to amaze me.
374
00:36:53,582 --> 00:36:57,651
You could ask for the moon
and not even offer a kiss in return.
375
00:36:57,818 --> 00:37:00,284
So does this mean you'll help me?
376
00:37:02,411 --> 00:37:03,889
Yes.
377
00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:22,103
Why, George.
378
00:37:22,267 --> 00:37:23,857
What a surprise.
379
00:37:25,622 --> 00:37:28,051
I doubt that, since you saw
me earlier this evening.
380
00:37:28,218 --> 00:37:29,443
Was that you?
381
00:37:29,616 --> 00:37:32,286
I did see a man in a uniform
that looked a lot like you.
382
00:37:32,452 --> 00:37:35,886
But then I thought, "No, George would
never take up arms against his...
383
00:37:36,049 --> 00:37:37,959
...beloved Southern friends."
384
00:37:38,766 --> 00:37:40,595
You haven't changed, have you?
385
00:37:40,764 --> 00:37:43,149
A constant in this time of change.
386
00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:46,869
Why are you here, George?
Did your wife send you?
387
00:37:47,875 --> 00:37:49,784
What are you doing in Washington?
388
00:37:49,952 --> 00:37:52,019
Do you really care?
389
00:37:53,468 --> 00:37:56,216
I want Sam Greene to help me
get into the nursing corps.
390
00:37:57,262 --> 00:37:58,774
Why didn't you see me first?
391
00:37:58,941 --> 00:38:02,054
- Oh, George, don't patronize me.
- I'm not.
392
00:38:04,494 --> 00:38:05,972
I've been concerned about you.
393
00:38:06,132 --> 00:38:08,725
Well, I'm fine.
394
00:38:11,485 --> 00:38:14,792
At least let me loan you money so
you can find a decent place to live.
395
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,950
You might have shown such brotherly
concern when Grady was alive.
396
00:38:20,915 --> 00:38:24,742
I'm sorry your husband was killed,
but nobody in our family's to blame.
397
00:38:24,909 --> 00:38:27,898
We're not a family, George,
we never have been.
398
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:34,248
We were close when we were younger.
399
00:38:35,096 --> 00:38:36,813
I'm not sure how or why
that changed.
400
00:38:37,012 --> 00:38:39,399
When I began to think for myself...
401
00:38:39,929 --> 00:38:42,520
...which is something women
aren't supposed to do.
402
00:38:43,844 --> 00:38:45,436
It amazed me.
403
00:38:46,042 --> 00:38:50,317
Everyone would listen to Stanley's
most ridiculous ideas...
404
00:38:50,478 --> 00:38:52,624
...but no one cared to hear
what I might think.
405
00:38:52,954 --> 00:38:54,590
Do you know how that feels, George?
406
00:38:54,751 --> 00:38:56,580
To spend your life becoming educated...
407
00:38:56,749 --> 00:38:58,977
...only to be overlooked
because you're not male?
408
00:38:59,146 --> 00:39:01,533
I've always been interested
in what you had to say.
409
00:39:01,704 --> 00:39:03,976
The only opinion you wanted
to hear was your own.
410
00:39:04,141 --> 00:39:05,366
Oh, George!
411
00:39:05,537 --> 00:39:08,732
You, of all people, should've
seen what I was trying to do.
412
00:39:08,894 --> 00:39:12,088
You dismissed me like the rest.
"An abolitionist fanatic."
413
00:39:12,411 --> 00:39:14,604
You moderates still don't
hear the drums.
414
00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:18,549
You say all you want to do is preserve
the Union, that slavery isn't the issue.
415
00:39:18,721 --> 00:39:22,676
- And I say it's the only issue, George.
- I despise slavery as much as you do...
416
00:39:22,836 --> 00:39:25,632
...but I'm not here to argue right
or wrong or anything else!
417
00:39:25,794 --> 00:39:29,418
I am here because you are my sister!
I care about you!
418
00:39:29,590 --> 00:39:32,181
And to let you know your family's
there if you need them!
419
00:39:32,346 --> 00:39:34,299
Is that so difficult to understand?!
420
00:39:34,464 --> 00:39:37,895
Is it so hard for you to understand
that I just want to be alone?
421
00:39:42,133 --> 00:39:44,928
Virgilia, we can't change what is past.
422
00:39:48,765 --> 00:39:51,482
- But we can make a new beginning.
- No.
423
00:39:52,281 --> 00:39:54,270
It was too late for that
a long time ago.
424
00:39:54,438 --> 00:39:57,392
- Virgilia.
- Lf you'll excuse me, I'd like to turn in.
425
00:39:58,473 --> 00:39:59,983
Give my regards to Constance.
426
00:40:06,063 --> 00:40:07,700
If you ever need me...
427
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,933
...you know how to find me.
428
00:40:50,090 --> 00:40:52,044
Don't hang too close to
me tonight, James.
429
00:40:52,208 --> 00:40:55,002
You'll meet more people if you
don't monopolize my time.
430
00:40:55,922 --> 00:40:59,877
You seem to have damn little of
that for me, in public or private.
431
00:41:00,037 --> 00:41:01,707
It's for your own good, James.
432
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:04,341
A loyal wife always helps
her husband's career.
433
00:41:04,512 --> 00:41:07,308
And tonight's the perfect
opportunity. Imagine!
434
00:41:07,469 --> 00:41:10,182
You and me at a party given
by Jefferson Davis.
435
00:41:10,343 --> 00:41:13,172
Davis is bound to recognize
my vision and courage...
436
00:41:13,339 --> 00:41:15,533
...and realize he needs me
in the war effort.
437
00:41:15,698 --> 00:41:19,732
Flattery, James.
All men like flattery.
438
00:41:19,893 --> 00:41:21,528
Use whatever charm you can muster.
439
00:41:21,692 --> 00:41:24,440
Stop treating me like a child.
My views are my strength.
440
00:41:24,606 --> 00:41:27,594
Being a clerk to the first assistant
in the treasury?
441
00:41:27,763 --> 00:41:29,353
It's not good enough for you.
442
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,588
I want more for you. Much more.
443
00:41:31,757 --> 00:41:34,064
For me? Or for yourself?
444
00:41:35,553 --> 00:41:37,346
Isn't it all one and the same?
445
00:42:20,258 --> 00:42:24,372
Excuse me, but I must ask Mrs. Davis
where she got that simply...
446
00:42:24,533 --> 00:42:26,919
...interesting dress.
447
00:43:30,570 --> 00:43:32,685
Mr. Huntoon, in time of war...
448
00:43:32,848 --> 00:43:36,121
...a central government must enforce
stern measures necessary...
449
00:43:36,284 --> 00:43:37,797
...to our military operation...
450
00:43:37,964 --> 00:43:42,869
...such as the use of slaves as laborers,
regardless of its unpopularity.
451
00:43:43,035 --> 00:43:47,181
Then I submit, with all due respect
to yourself and to your office...
452
00:43:47,349 --> 00:43:48,985
...that it must not happen.
453
00:43:49,148 --> 00:43:51,375
Only the sovereign states
can decide policy.
454
00:43:51,744 --> 00:43:54,538
If they are forced to surrender
freedom to a central power...
455
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:56,847
...why, we'd be like that circus
in Washington.
456
00:43:57,018 --> 00:44:00,643
May I remind you, sir, that I am charged
with making this new nation strong...
457
00:44:00,812 --> 00:44:03,482
...and successful. We must have
a central government...
458
00:44:03,650 --> 00:44:06,161
...stronger than its separate parts.
- Never!
459
00:44:06,327 --> 00:44:08,236
The states will not tolerate it.
460
00:44:09,121 --> 00:44:12,031
If that be so, Mr. Huntoon...
461
00:44:12,198 --> 00:44:15,346
...then the Confederacy
will not last out the year.
462
00:44:15,556 --> 00:44:19,624
You can have independent states,
or you can have a strong new nation.
463
00:44:19,791 --> 00:44:21,269
You cannot have both!
464
00:44:21,429 --> 00:44:23,301
A choice must be made.
465
00:44:23,464 --> 00:44:27,055
It is my choice not to be party ever
to autocratic ways! Furthermore...
466
00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:29,175
If you'll excuse me, Mr. Huntoon.
467
00:44:32,775 --> 00:44:34,047
Well done, James.
468
00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:38,644
He's afraid to argue political philosophy
because he knows he's wrong.
469
00:44:41,163 --> 00:44:42,675
James!
470
00:44:42,841 --> 00:44:44,192
Ashton...
471
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,473
Don't "Ashton" me!
I heard everything.
472
00:44:46,638 --> 00:44:50,306
Is that flattery to you? Arguing with
the most important man in government?
473
00:44:50,472 --> 00:44:53,029
He behaves like a dictator.
I have a strong conviction...
474
00:44:53,189 --> 00:44:55,018
To hell with your conviction!
475
00:44:55,186 --> 00:44:57,459
You probably ended your
political career just now.
476
00:44:57,624 --> 00:45:00,293
That is, if you ever really had one!
477
00:45:10,087 --> 00:45:12,076
Glass of champagne, please.
478
00:45:14,243 --> 00:45:17,753
I simply can't abide punch
that's lost its potency.
479
00:45:30,783 --> 00:45:32,657
Good evening, Mr. Huntoon.
480
00:45:34,217 --> 00:45:35,933
Good evening, sir.
481
00:45:36,455 --> 00:45:39,046
I'm afraid you have the advantage.
Have we met before?
482
00:45:39,212 --> 00:45:41,360
Well, I'm not surprised
you don't remember me.
483
00:45:41,529 --> 00:45:43,483
The last time I saw you...
484
00:45:43,647 --> 00:45:47,396
...I was wearing the uniform of a major
in the Union army.
485
00:45:47,562 --> 00:45:50,470
- In New Orleans, after my speech.
- Precisely.
486
00:45:50,877 --> 00:45:54,229
After which we adjourned to Madam
Conti's house where we enjoyed...
487
00:45:54,394 --> 00:45:56,905
...the favors of certain ladies.
- Yes, of course...
488
00:45:57,070 --> 00:45:58,978
You told me you could not
serve the Union.
489
00:45:59,146 --> 00:46:01,942
But if Jeff Davis were elected,
you'd not serve him either.
490
00:46:02,103 --> 00:46:04,535
As you can see,
I'm still a man of my word.
491
00:46:05,219 --> 00:46:09,289
And you, sir, are still a man of vision.
492
00:46:09,456 --> 00:46:11,489
Thank you. I appreciate
your graciousness.
493
00:46:11,653 --> 00:46:14,924
Not at all. I overheard your discussion
with that arrogant jackass.
494
00:46:15,168 --> 00:46:18,438
You were completely justified
in what you said to him.
495
00:46:18,602 --> 00:46:20,908
I'm afraid my wife
doesn't share your opinion.
496
00:46:22,958 --> 00:46:25,344
Well, she certainly is beautiful.
497
00:46:25,515 --> 00:46:28,547
Which probably means
you'll have to forgive her.
498
00:46:29,110 --> 00:46:30,984
Come, then. Let me
introduce you to her.
499
00:46:31,147 --> 00:46:32,863
Well I'd love to, sir.
500
00:46:33,025 --> 00:46:36,616
But business before the pleasure
of meeting your wife.
501
00:46:36,780 --> 00:46:38,178
If you will.
502
00:46:40,096 --> 00:46:44,243
I confess I have a particular reason for
wishing to renew your acquaintance.
503
00:46:44,411 --> 00:46:48,286
To come to the point, Mr. Huntoon,
I'm organizing a small group of men.
504
00:46:48,447 --> 00:46:50,912
Men of vision and stature
like yourself...
505
00:46:51,085 --> 00:46:56,229
...to finance a confidential venture that I
guarantee will provide incredible profit.
506
00:46:56,394 --> 00:46:59,701
- You mean some kind of investment?
- A maritime investment, sir.
507
00:47:00,192 --> 00:47:02,145
You see, I think the Yankee blockade...
508
00:47:02,309 --> 00:47:06,218
...provides a golden opportunity for
men of the will and wherewithal.
509
00:47:06,385 --> 00:47:09,133
- You're suggesting running the blockade?
- Yes, I am.
510
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,607
I already have an interest in one ship.
511
00:47:11,778 --> 00:47:15,527
And I've just located a very fast
steamer called the Water Witch.
512
00:47:15,731 --> 00:47:19,926
Now she can be refitted in Liverpool
to suit our purposes, at a fair price.
513
00:47:20,087 --> 00:47:24,200
Your share of the profits will be equal
to your share of the investment.
514
00:47:24,801 --> 00:47:27,471
The Confederacy will need more
arms and ammunition.
515
00:47:27,638 --> 00:47:29,911
Sir, I'm referring to luxuries.
516
00:47:30,075 --> 00:47:31,903
Luxuries are where the money is.
517
00:47:32,711 --> 00:47:35,098
Of course, the danger
to the ship is tremendous.
518
00:47:35,269 --> 00:47:39,812
So, what we are looking for is the short
term, Mr. Huntoon, not the long term.
519
00:47:39,982 --> 00:47:41,698
But with the right cargo...
520
00:47:41,860 --> 00:47:45,247
...only two successful runs will bring
in a profit of 500 percent.
521
00:47:45,456 --> 00:47:48,683
After that, let the Yankees sink her,
if they can.
522
00:47:48,853 --> 00:47:52,475
And if not, our potential earnings
are astronomical.
523
00:47:52,686 --> 00:47:56,072
I must decline, sir. I want
no part of such a scheme.
524
00:47:56,243 --> 00:47:57,470
May I ask why, sir?
525
00:47:57,641 --> 00:48:00,232
I have several reasons,
but one is enough.
526
00:48:00,397 --> 00:48:01,875
It is unpatriotic.
527
00:48:02,035 --> 00:48:05,387
Since when are perfume, silk
and good sherry unpatriotic?
528
00:48:05,550 --> 00:48:08,380
- The answer is no, sir!
- No to what?
529
00:48:08,547 --> 00:48:13,695
We're disagreeing on a business venture,
although we do share the same politics.
530
00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:17,565
And, evidently,
the same love of beauty.
531
00:48:18,335 --> 00:48:20,210
My dear, may I present...
532
00:48:20,373 --> 00:48:22,724
Elkanah Bent, sir, at your service.
533
00:48:22,889 --> 00:48:24,798
Mr. Bent, my wife, Ashton.
534
00:48:40,109 --> 00:48:42,496
You went to the wrong person,
Mr. Bent.
535
00:48:42,666 --> 00:48:45,176
My husband would never invest
in something like that.
536
00:48:45,342 --> 00:48:47,568
Because of his patriotism?
537
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:50,814
No. Because he's a coward.
538
00:48:51,532 --> 00:48:54,522
But I'm not, and I have my own money.
539
00:48:54,690 --> 00:48:57,838
How can that be, madam?
Your husband is a lawyer.
540
00:48:58,007 --> 00:49:01,710
And the law says your money became
his the moment you were married.
541
00:49:01,881 --> 00:49:05,584
I control my money, Mr. Bent,
because I control my husband.
542
00:49:05,756 --> 00:49:07,823
Well, I can believe that.
543
00:49:07,993 --> 00:49:11,062
And I think he was very
wrong to refuse you.
544
00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:13,495
Does that mean that you would not?
545
00:49:17,742 --> 00:49:20,207
Perhaps we should discuss it later...
546
00:49:20,418 --> 00:49:22,169
...in private.
547
00:49:32,683 --> 00:49:36,069
Left! Left! Left, right, left!
548
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,782
Left! Left! Left, right, left!
549
00:49:39,954 --> 00:49:43,737
Left! Left! Left, right, left!
550
00:49:43,910 --> 00:49:47,580
Left! Left! Left, right, left!
551
00:49:47,745 --> 00:49:49,812
Carter, keep your cadence!
552
00:49:50,022 --> 00:49:51,578
Captain Durham!
553
00:49:52,219 --> 00:49:53,888
Put them in line.
554
00:49:54,056 --> 00:49:55,884
By company into line!
555
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:58,686
March!
556
00:50:06,162 --> 00:50:07,672
Excellent.
557
00:50:08,238 --> 00:50:10,668
That will be enough for today.
558
00:50:17,827 --> 00:50:21,291
You and your men are to be
congratulated, Captain Durham.
559
00:50:21,663 --> 00:50:24,774
Just shows how quickly our Southern
boys take to soldiering.
560
00:50:24,937 --> 00:50:26,892
Permission to speak, sir.
561
00:50:27,335 --> 00:50:29,210
What is it, soldier?
562
00:50:33,808 --> 00:50:36,271
Well, sir, I want to be released
from my enlistment.
563
00:50:37,042 --> 00:50:39,759
It's my wife, sir, she misses me.
And my young'uns.
564
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,265
Sir, I gotta be honest with you,
I'm not cut out for this militia life.
565
00:50:43,435 --> 00:50:46,230
I can shoot rabbits and possum...
566
00:50:46,392 --> 00:50:50,777
...but I sure don't think I could pull the
trigger on no human, not even a Yank.
567
00:50:51,785 --> 00:50:53,818
What's your name, soldier?
568
00:50:53,983 --> 00:50:57,051
- Burnett, sir.
- Well, Private Burnett.
569
00:50:57,219 --> 00:50:59,685
What do you think would happen
to our Confederacy...
570
00:50:59,856 --> 00:51:04,001
...if every man decided he was not
"cut out for this militia life"?
571
00:51:05,807 --> 00:51:09,001
Ours is a glorious cause, young man.
572
00:51:09,164 --> 00:51:10,436
Freedom.
573
00:51:10,603 --> 00:51:11,875
Independence.
574
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,233
The supremacy of the white man.
575
00:51:16,036 --> 00:51:19,909
Every one of us must be willing
to give his last breath to that end.
576
00:51:20,389 --> 00:51:22,218
Your request is denied, soldier.
577
00:51:22,387 --> 00:51:26,136
- But, sir...
- That's easy for you to say no, colonel.
578
00:51:27,101 --> 00:51:28,977
You ain't got no family no more.
579
00:51:31,495 --> 00:51:33,085
Colonel! Colonel!
580
00:51:33,254 --> 00:51:34,651
Colonel.
581
00:51:34,812 --> 00:51:37,448
Sergeant, dismiss the men!
582
00:51:37,608 --> 00:51:39,323
Right face!
583
00:51:40,564 --> 00:51:41,916
March!
584
00:52:03,656 --> 00:52:06,293
"For thy sweet love remember'd...
585
00:52:06,453 --> 00:52:08,566
...such wealth brings...
586
00:52:09,290 --> 00:52:13,641
...then I scorn to change my state
with kings."
587
00:52:18,598 --> 00:52:21,029
You love my son very much.
588
00:52:23,512 --> 00:52:25,942
He means everything to me.
589
00:52:27,826 --> 00:52:29,894
I never want to hurt him.
590
00:52:30,064 --> 00:52:33,496
Madeline, you bring him such happiness,
you could never hurt him.
591
00:52:36,857 --> 00:52:38,809
It's something else, isn't it?
592
00:52:40,570 --> 00:52:43,682
I just don't want to ever bring
shame to this family.
593
00:52:45,404 --> 00:52:46,676
You never could.
594
00:52:52,597 --> 00:52:55,151
There's something that you don't know.
595
00:52:57,668 --> 00:52:59,226
My mother...
596
00:52:59,707 --> 00:53:01,298
She had Negro blood in her...
597
00:53:01,466 --> 00:53:04,658
My dear, Orry already told me.
598
00:53:06,260 --> 00:53:08,530
Oh, Mrs. Main, then you know...
599
00:53:08,695 --> 00:53:10,684
...that if anyone ever found out...
600
00:53:10,853 --> 00:53:14,080
All that matters is that
my son loves you.
601
00:53:15,607 --> 00:53:17,004
So do I.
602
00:53:19,324 --> 00:53:22,993
Don't you think it's time you
stopped saying, "Mrs. Main"?
603
00:53:23,398 --> 00:53:25,828
Call me "Clarissa," if you wish.
604
00:53:26,634 --> 00:53:29,509
Or maybe just "Mother."
605
00:53:49,485 --> 00:53:53,076
Do exactly what we say, boy,
or you'll be in hell damn quick.
606
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:55,274
Have this nigger saddle up a horse.
607
00:54:12,337 --> 00:54:17,245
Not a word, or I'll slit your throat
and the old lady's too.
608
00:54:17,409 --> 00:54:19,125
You're going home, Mrs. LaMotte.
609
00:54:19,287 --> 00:54:22,560
And this time, you're going
to be a dutiful wife.
610
00:54:42,861 --> 00:54:44,337
Miss Madeline...
611
00:54:45,735 --> 00:54:47,725
Get her on a horse!
612
00:54:55,444 --> 00:54:57,193
Take her home.
613
00:54:58,918 --> 00:55:00,271
Give me that.
614
00:55:10,746 --> 00:55:12,142
Fire! Fire!
615
00:55:12,303 --> 00:55:13,971
Fire in the cotton barn!
616
00:55:14,140 --> 00:55:16,809
Pump up the water from the well!
Get a bucket line moving!
617
00:55:16,976 --> 00:55:20,328
Get that ladder from the horse barn!
We gotta get water on that roof!
618
00:55:20,492 --> 00:55:22,129
- You gonna get...
- Now's not the time!
619
00:55:22,291 --> 00:55:24,439
- Cuffey, this fire needs both of us!
- Let's go!
620
00:55:24,609 --> 00:55:26,356
Fire!
621
00:55:26,524 --> 00:55:28,274
Fire!
622
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,312
Get on this side!
623
00:55:31,918 --> 00:55:34,793
Come on, get a move on!
Get a move on!
624
00:55:36,553 --> 00:55:38,505
More water!
625
00:55:41,547 --> 00:55:44,342
Cuffey, you gotta move this wagon!
626
00:55:44,503 --> 00:55:46,616
More water! More water!
627
00:55:46,780 --> 00:55:48,450
Hurry! Hurry!
628
00:55:51,775 --> 00:55:54,444
Keep them moving! Keep them moving!
629
00:55:55,888 --> 00:55:57,604
Keep these buckets moving.
630
00:56:00,883 --> 00:56:02,837
I'm gonna get Miss Clarissa!
631
00:56:03,041 --> 00:56:06,664
What's she gonna do, spit on the fire
and put it out? Get back on that pump!
632
00:56:18,544 --> 00:56:20,290
- Come on!
- Quickly!
633
00:56:32,164 --> 00:56:33,674
Move it on over there!
634
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,875
Gotta get more water!
635
00:56:36,718 --> 00:56:38,070
Where's Cuffey, Ezra?
636
00:56:38,237 --> 00:56:41,429
Miss Clarissa, he went back inside
the barn, down on that end.
637
00:56:41,872 --> 00:56:43,587
Keep the buckets moving!
638
00:56:47,704 --> 00:56:50,089
We gotta get more water in here!
639
00:56:52,019 --> 00:56:54,736
- How'd it get started?
- Justin threw a lantern on the roof!
640
00:56:54,896 --> 00:56:57,328
Then he run off and took
Miss Madeline with him!
641
00:57:00,092 --> 00:57:01,600
Look out!
642
00:57:40,241 --> 00:57:41,796
Miss Clarissa.
643
00:57:42,239 --> 00:57:43,953
Miss Clarissa.
644
00:57:54,743 --> 00:57:56,649
We better get her in the house.
645
00:58:15,277 --> 00:58:18,184
Cuffey, you better get out there
and help fight that fire.
646
00:58:18,473 --> 00:58:20,109
The cotton's gone, boy.
647
00:58:20,270 --> 00:58:23,305
I ain't wasting more sweat saving
things don't even belong to me.
648
00:58:23,467 --> 00:58:26,101
You better never let Miss Clarissa
hear that kind of talk.
649
00:58:26,263 --> 00:58:30,171
Let her. We're killing ourselves,
and them folk don't even care about us.
650
00:58:32,136 --> 00:58:33,727
Miss Clarissa?
651
00:58:33,934 --> 00:58:36,205
Don't try to move, ma'am.
652
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:39,715
You took a terrible lick on the head.
653
00:58:46,359 --> 00:58:48,312
We sent for the doctor.
654
00:58:50,994 --> 00:58:54,345
Did you find Miss Madeline yet?
655
00:58:56,065 --> 00:58:57,622
We looking for her.
656
00:58:59,781 --> 00:59:01,577
You just rest now.
657
00:59:04,017 --> 00:59:06,572
We get word to Miss Brett.
658
00:59:07,452 --> 00:59:09,122
We going to take care of everything.
659
00:59:48,961 --> 00:59:50,836
Welcome home, my dear.
660
00:59:50,998 --> 00:59:52,827
This was never my home.
661
00:59:52,996 --> 00:59:56,904
I've had time to think, and now
I realize how much I want you.
662
00:59:57,151 --> 00:59:58,548
Justin...
663
00:59:58,709 --> 01:00:02,935
You're mine in the eyes of your God,
your church and the law.
664
01:00:03,103 --> 01:00:05,217
No piece of paper is going
to change that.
665
01:00:05,380 --> 01:00:08,336
Justin, please. It's too late.
666
01:00:09,656 --> 01:00:10,928
Please.
667
01:00:11,093 --> 01:00:12,685
Don't be afraid.
668
01:00:13,771 --> 01:00:16,076
I'll be patient for now.
669
01:00:16,247 --> 01:00:17,883
Though I will keep you under guard.
670
01:00:22,878 --> 01:00:26,469
You'll be my lady,
and I'll treat you as such.
671
01:00:26,635 --> 01:00:28,826
You'll see how much I've changed.
672
01:00:28,991 --> 01:00:30,263
Justin.
673
01:00:30,428 --> 01:00:33,735
You're guilty of abducting me against
my will. People will know I'm here.
674
01:00:33,905 --> 01:00:35,575
They'll find me.
675
01:00:36,342 --> 01:00:41,206
Every white man at Mont Royal,
including your precious Orry...
676
01:00:41,376 --> 01:00:44,568
...is away fighting for our glorious cause.
677
01:00:47,369 --> 01:00:49,925
There is no one, Madeline.
678
01:00:59,554 --> 01:01:00,871
Good night.
679
01:01:41,941 --> 01:01:44,816
Where were you, Mr. Bent?
I don't like to be kept waiting.
680
01:01:44,978 --> 01:01:47,613
I've risked my reputation
coming here without my...
681
01:01:47,774 --> 01:01:49,170
...husband's knowledge.
682
01:01:49,332 --> 01:01:51,967
I must say, you do look ravishing,
Mrs. Huntoon.
683
01:01:52,407 --> 01:01:55,918
If you intend on flattering me, sir,
you'll have to do much better than that.
684
01:01:56,083 --> 01:01:57,878
May I offer you something to drink?
685
01:01:58,041 --> 01:02:00,234
Champagne will do nicely, thank you.
686
01:02:09,226 --> 01:02:11,784
Well, our tastes are similar.
687
01:02:11,944 --> 01:02:14,375
Surely that must mean something.
688
01:02:15,180 --> 01:02:18,170
You presume too much, sir,
on such an early acquaintance.
689
01:02:18,338 --> 01:02:21,960
Perhaps I do presume.
I have been expecting you for days.
690
01:02:28,164 --> 01:02:31,277
Money like this doesn't grow on trees,
you know.
691
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:32,870
Besides...
692
01:02:33,037 --> 01:02:35,104
...I haven't decided whether I trust you.
693
01:02:35,275 --> 01:02:37,024
Maybe I should tell you that...
694
01:02:37,193 --> 01:02:39,942
...when I renewed my acquaintance
with your husband...
695
01:02:40,469 --> 01:02:42,379
...I had a much deeper motive.
696
01:02:44,265 --> 01:02:46,933
- And that was...?
- You and I.
697
01:02:47,899 --> 01:02:51,172
You never laid eyes on me
until four days ago.
698
01:02:51,375 --> 01:02:54,408
But I've seen your image.
The one he carries in his wallet.
699
01:02:54,571 --> 01:02:56,684
My wedding picture?
700
01:02:57,208 --> 01:03:01,558
- The one where your brother is there...
- Orry? I don't wanna hear about Orry.
701
01:03:11,950 --> 01:03:14,857
- How do you know my brother?
- We were...
702
01:03:15,025 --> 01:03:16,376
...cadets together.
703
01:03:19,221 --> 01:03:20,936
At West Point.
704
01:03:22,217 --> 01:03:25,251
Why, he's talked about you
since I was a little girl.
705
01:03:26,012 --> 01:03:28,398
"Bent the bastard" is the
term I most remember.
706
01:03:28,568 --> 01:03:31,204
Your brother and his friend
George Hazard were...
707
01:03:31,365 --> 01:03:34,797
...my enemies. They conspired to have
me discharged from the academy.
708
01:03:34,961 --> 01:03:37,791
I wouldn't be surprised at anything
those two might do.
709
01:03:37,958 --> 01:03:40,150
Well, then, you know
George Hazard too.
710
01:03:42,151 --> 01:03:44,709
His younger brother married my sister.
711
01:03:45,428 --> 01:03:47,859
I hate all the Hazards,
including her.
712
01:03:48,026 --> 01:03:51,617
Evidently, your hatred extends
all the way to your own brother.
713
01:03:51,781 --> 01:03:55,689
Orry actually ordered me off the
plantation, all because I just tried to...
714
01:03:55,854 --> 01:03:59,560
...interfere with my sister's marriage
to that damn Yankee.
715
01:04:00,769 --> 01:04:02,121
You saw my wedding picture?
716
01:04:02,287 --> 01:04:03,560
Once.
717
01:04:03,726 --> 01:04:05,954
After one of your husband's speeches.
718
01:04:06,124 --> 01:04:08,681
My sister, Brett, was that
drab little thing to my right.
719
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,952
I don't recall it all that well,
except for you, of course.
720
01:04:12,115 --> 01:04:15,899
And there was some other
woman with dark hair.
721
01:04:16,910 --> 01:04:18,703
- You have another sister?
- No.
722
01:04:18,865 --> 01:04:21,298
That was Madeline LaMotte,
the whore.
723
01:04:21,464 --> 01:04:23,894
- She's living with my brother now.
- Illicitly.
724
01:04:24,379 --> 01:04:28,606
And openly. He claims he's giving her
sanctuary from her crazy husband.
725
01:04:28,814 --> 01:04:30,644
But from what I hear...
726
01:04:30,812 --> 01:04:34,006
...they plan on being married
as soon as she can get a divorce.
727
01:04:34,169 --> 01:04:35,487
Better and better.
728
01:04:36,368 --> 01:04:39,398
- Don't tell me you know her.
- I know something about her...
729
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,117
...that I'll keep to myself
for a while yet.
730
01:04:42,277 --> 01:04:45,744
Now I would appreciate it
if you gave me that bank draft.
731
01:04:56,301 --> 01:04:57,890
How masterful.
732
01:04:58,059 --> 01:05:00,729
- A man who takes what he wants.
- And he wants it all.
733
01:05:00,936 --> 01:05:03,651
My, my, my, Mr. Bent.
734
01:05:03,812 --> 01:05:06,880
We are greedy for all the
good things in life.
735
01:05:07,087 --> 01:05:09,678
After all, money is but one.
736
01:05:09,844 --> 01:05:12,310
It's the one that buys all the rest.
737
01:05:21,350 --> 01:05:23,497
I'm not that easily bought, sir.
738
01:05:23,666 --> 01:05:27,734
You must show me profits before
you deserve what you've just stolen.
739
01:05:28,221 --> 01:05:30,255
You'll have your profits...
740
01:05:31,218 --> 01:05:33,091
...and you'll have more.
741
01:05:38,528 --> 01:05:40,164
Much more.
742
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,345
I must run.
James expects me home...
743
01:05:47,517 --> 01:05:49,823
...when he returns from the treasury.
744
01:05:58,744 --> 01:06:00,458
Send your card around, sir...
745
01:06:00,620 --> 01:06:03,053
...when your ship comes in.
746
01:07:20,443 --> 01:07:23,634
You won't be able to
leave today, Semiramis.
747
01:07:24,677 --> 01:07:27,030
The blockade stopped
the coastal steamers...
748
01:07:27,193 --> 01:07:30,944
...and the rail lines south are closed
because fighting's expected.
749
01:07:31,109 --> 01:07:33,859
Are you still going to Pennsylvania?
750
01:07:34,026 --> 01:07:37,728
No, I'll stay here with you
until after the battle.
751
01:07:38,299 --> 01:07:41,254
One way or the other,
we'll find a way to get you home.
752
01:07:44,534 --> 01:07:47,363
- Excuse me, ma'am, are you Mrs. Hazard?
- I am.
753
01:07:47,529 --> 01:07:50,756
This message passed through Union lines
and I was hired to deliver it.
754
01:07:51,243 --> 01:07:53,756
- Thank you, sir.
- Good day, ma'am.
755
01:08:13,018 --> 01:08:15,085
Mother's very sick...
756
01:08:16,134 --> 01:08:18,166
...and Madeline's gone.
757
01:08:20,567 --> 01:08:22,760
We have to find a way
to get back to Mont Royal.
758
01:08:22,925 --> 01:08:25,912
- But you just said the fighting?
- We can pack the buggy.
759
01:08:26,081 --> 01:08:28,752
Once we get past Union lines,
we'll be safe in Virginia.
760
01:08:28,918 --> 01:08:32,110
Miss Brett, your mama don't want you
in no danger, or Mr. Billy...
761
01:08:32,273 --> 01:08:34,466
He'll understand.
762
01:08:35,669 --> 01:08:37,862
He'd do the same thing.
763
01:08:39,265 --> 01:08:43,139
We have to try.
There's nobody else. Mama needs us.
764
01:09:13,023 --> 01:09:14,693
Morning.
765
01:09:15,221 --> 01:09:16,891
You all right?
766
01:09:17,058 --> 01:09:19,490
Beat just caught on me, lieutenant.
767
01:09:20,055 --> 01:09:22,803
- You in the sharpshooters?
- Yeah, I'm just reporting in.
768
01:09:22,970 --> 01:09:25,277
- Name's Billy Hazard.
- Tom Larson.
769
01:09:25,447 --> 01:09:28,957
I'm on the way to your camp too.
I wanna be a drummer.
770
01:09:29,122 --> 01:09:30,678
What about your folks, Tom?
771
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,591
Ain't got any.
772
01:09:32,758 --> 01:09:34,236
Aren't you a little young?
773
01:09:34,397 --> 01:09:37,033
Don't matter how old you are
if you're the best.
774
01:09:37,194 --> 01:09:40,736
I know every last command there is.
No matter how many guns go off...
775
01:09:40,908 --> 01:09:44,055
...you'll hear me, I can promise that.
776
01:09:46,102 --> 01:09:49,727
- Come on. I'll give you a ride.
- Much obliged, lieutenant.
777
01:10:05,358 --> 01:10:09,028
You ready? One, two, three.
778
01:11:07,761 --> 01:11:10,113
- Stack those rifles!
- Look smart!
779
01:11:12,356 --> 01:11:13,868
We're ready, sir!
780
01:11:22,383 --> 01:11:24,531
This is a regiment.
781
01:11:24,701 --> 01:11:26,610
Think those men are impressive, do you?
782
01:11:26,778 --> 01:11:29,449
- Best in the army, right?
- Wrong, lieutenant.
783
01:11:29,936 --> 01:11:33,682
Not the best by any measure and
neither are you. Your boots are dusty.
784
01:11:33,847 --> 01:11:35,915
- I've been on the trail.
- You wipe them off...
785
01:11:36,085 --> 01:11:38,393
...before you enter the camp.
786
01:11:39,002 --> 01:11:41,355
- Look, I've had...
- Your gear isn't packed properly.
787
01:11:41,521 --> 01:11:44,589
- I don't like the way...
- lf you're Lieutenant Hazard, you're late.
788
01:11:44,755 --> 01:11:49,903
My orders didn't arrive on time.
Why am I defending myself to a sergeant?
789
01:11:51,188 --> 01:11:55,221
I am Colonel Hiram Berdan, sir,
your commanding officer.
790
01:11:55,382 --> 01:11:57,416
Colonel, sir! I'm sorry, sir.
791
01:11:57,580 --> 01:12:00,805
I can't hold you to account
for not recognizing me...
792
01:12:00,974 --> 01:12:05,407
...but as for the already noted
derelictions, I can and do.
793
01:12:05,889 --> 01:12:09,322
This regiment will become the best...
794
01:12:09,486 --> 01:12:11,076
...and damn quick.
795
01:12:11,244 --> 01:12:12,797
Yes, sir.
796
01:12:14,957 --> 01:12:16,946
Wait, colonel.
797
01:12:17,115 --> 01:12:19,342
I wanna be a drummer.
798
01:12:20,751 --> 01:12:22,626
Sorry, boy.
799
01:12:22,989 --> 01:12:25,262
You need experience
and you're too young.
800
01:12:25,426 --> 01:12:28,777
I came all the way from Baltimore.
At least give me a chance.
801
01:12:29,101 --> 01:12:30,770
Baltimore?
802
01:12:32,257 --> 01:12:35,450
Well, make it quick.
803
01:12:36,413 --> 01:12:38,128
Good luck.
804
01:12:41,325 --> 01:12:42,961
Assembly!
805
01:12:49,516 --> 01:12:51,345
Forward march.
806
01:12:59,383 --> 01:13:00,974
Retreat.
807
01:13:02,699 --> 01:13:05,416
- What are you laughing at?
- You.
808
01:13:05,578 --> 01:13:07,608
That was some introduction.
809
01:13:07,772 --> 01:13:11,157
At least you made
an impression on old ramrod.
810
01:13:11,766 --> 01:13:13,404
Rally.
811
01:13:15,883 --> 01:13:18,440
I guess it was pretty funny.
812
01:13:19,319 --> 01:13:21,350
Rudy Bodford.
This is Jamie Powell.
813
01:13:21,515 --> 01:13:23,787
- Nice to meet you.
- Stephen Kent.
814
01:13:23,952 --> 01:13:25,383
Mess call.
815
01:13:25,550 --> 01:13:27,663
William Hazard.
Friends call me Billy.
816
01:13:27,827 --> 01:13:30,577
Well, I can see you're gonna keep us
constantly entertained.
817
01:13:30,864 --> 01:13:34,091
First you get your foot
stuck in your mouth and then...
818
01:13:34,420 --> 01:13:37,566
...you try to palm off some kid
as a drummer boy.
819
01:13:38,575 --> 01:13:40,609
I think he can do the job.
820
01:13:41,651 --> 01:13:44,117
He'll run at the sound
of the first cannon.
821
01:13:44,288 --> 01:13:46,435
Billy! Billy!
822
01:13:47,524 --> 01:13:49,795
Colonel put me on the muster roll.
I made it!
823
01:13:49,959 --> 01:13:52,517
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
824
01:14:03,903 --> 01:14:05,539
Corporal!
825
01:14:08,057 --> 01:14:11,364
I'm from Wade Hampton's legion.
Real fighting about to get started.
826
01:14:11,534 --> 01:14:14,092
- Manassas Junction.
- How many Yankees are we up against?
827
01:14:14,252 --> 01:14:17,397
McDowell's 35,000 strong
to Beauregard's 30.
828
01:14:17,566 --> 01:14:20,158
Should be pretty equal.
Gotta get to Richmond.
829
01:14:20,323 --> 01:14:23,994
The boys at the War Department
always want a report. Good luck.
830
01:14:24,158 --> 01:14:26,668
Too late for Ashton.
Better make tracks for Manassas.
831
01:14:26,834 --> 01:14:28,550
Meet him there.
832
01:14:36,623 --> 01:14:39,532
General Beauregard has
been bringing his rebel troops...
833
01:14:39,700 --> 01:14:43,244
...to the railroad junction
here at Manassas...
834
01:14:43,416 --> 01:14:45,242
...near Bull Run.
835
01:14:45,811 --> 01:14:49,798
They're obviously massing for a major
movement north against the capital.
836
01:14:49,965 --> 01:14:53,194
I don't think so, sir.
They'll wait to see what we intend.
837
01:14:53,362 --> 01:14:56,431
While we wait
to see what they intend.
838
01:14:56,599 --> 01:15:00,632
Isn't it possible, Mr. President, that
the blockade you ordered of their ports...
839
01:15:00,793 --> 01:15:04,542
...will bring them to their senses
before any more blood need be spilled?
840
01:15:04,708 --> 01:15:07,300
The Southern hotheads hoot
at my blockade...
841
01:15:07,465 --> 01:15:10,374
...as loudly as they question
my ancestry.
842
01:15:10,701 --> 01:15:13,256
We cannot expect a blockade
to bring them down.
843
01:15:13,417 --> 01:15:16,689
There are certain domestic political
considerations as well.
844
01:15:16,853 --> 01:15:20,320
Our people believe it's high time
to whip the rebels and end all this.
845
01:15:20,490 --> 01:15:25,477
That traitor Davis has proclaimed their
cause the Second American Revolution.
846
01:15:25,642 --> 01:15:29,517
What he's talking about, Mr. Cameron,
is the right to revolt.
847
01:15:29,717 --> 01:15:33,104
We'll crush them with our numbers
and be in Richmond by August.
848
01:15:33,553 --> 01:15:36,348
Numbers alone won't be enough.
849
01:15:36,510 --> 01:15:38,339
This will be a people's war.
850
01:15:38,508 --> 01:15:40,540
Brother against brother.
851
01:15:40,703 --> 01:15:42,930
Our greatest test.
852
01:15:43,779 --> 01:15:48,564
Those boys moving south deserve the
best arms and cannon we can give them.
853
01:15:48,734 --> 01:15:51,609
I've just tuned in my munitions report.
854
01:15:51,771 --> 01:15:54,996
Our people will work day and night
to give them what they need.
855
01:15:55,164 --> 01:15:59,074
Not that so-called
Spencer repeating rifle.
856
01:15:59,241 --> 01:16:00,956
Think of the bullets it'd waste.
857
01:16:01,118 --> 01:16:03,868
Stick to the tried and true in battle.
You can't go wrong.
858
01:16:04,035 --> 01:16:05,625
Noted.
859
01:16:06,273 --> 01:16:10,545
Gentlemen, General McDowell
had a full meal last night...
860
01:16:10,707 --> 01:16:14,378
...then polished off a whole
watermelon for dessert.
861
01:16:14,543 --> 01:16:18,133
If he can polish off
Beauregard with as much relish...
862
01:16:18,297 --> 01:16:20,604
...we have nothing to fear.
863
01:18:02,729 --> 01:18:04,603
You'd think this was
some sort of picnic.
864
01:18:04,765 --> 01:18:07,231
General, we've been rushed into
battle by the public.
865
01:18:07,403 --> 01:18:10,392
The South holds strong
defensive positions on their own soil.
866
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,386
The rebels have already retreated
to Henry House Hill.
867
01:18:14,552 --> 01:18:17,746
My old classmate Tom Jackson's
holding that hill.
868
01:18:17,908 --> 01:18:20,943
I would expect there to be formidable
Confederate opposition.
869
01:18:21,106 --> 01:18:22,695
Nonsense, colonel.
870
01:18:22,864 --> 01:18:25,816
Undisciplined rabble cannot stand
against a great nation's army.
871
01:18:25,978 --> 01:18:28,728
That's what King George
said in 1776.
872
01:18:28,895 --> 01:18:31,087
Gentlemen, please cease fire.
873
01:18:31,732 --> 01:18:34,289
Now you can see why I insisted
we come along too.
874
01:18:34,568 --> 01:18:36,602
Somebody has to keep the peace.
875
01:18:36,766 --> 01:18:39,321
That's an odd expression
to use on a battlefield.
876
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,786
General, Mrs. Harper,
isn't it exciting?
877
01:18:43,958 --> 01:18:45,752
Molly, I didn't think you were coming.
878
01:18:45,915 --> 01:18:48,585
I made Mama change her mind.
She's setting up our picnic.
879
01:18:48,752 --> 01:18:52,023
I wanted to get a good look.
I've never seen a battle before.
880
01:19:21,310 --> 01:19:22,662
Don't worry, I'll keep up.
881
01:19:22,829 --> 01:19:25,704
You're the last one
I'm worried about, Tom.
882
01:19:26,185 --> 01:19:28,980
General wants us to move closer
to that Confederate battery.
883
01:19:29,342 --> 01:19:32,374
Don't interrupt an artist at work.
884
01:19:32,537 --> 01:19:34,808
I just dropped a Reb
artillery captain!
885
01:19:42,005 --> 01:19:44,881
Why is Colonel Hazard so concerned?
886
01:19:47,559 --> 01:19:50,512
His younger brother
is in the sharpshooters.
887
01:19:59,624 --> 01:20:02,213
Company, prepare to advance!
888
01:20:09,491 --> 01:20:12,878
Advance while firing!
889
01:20:48,002 --> 01:20:51,674
I can't see a thing with all the smoke
and the trees and the hills.
890
01:21:01,826 --> 01:21:03,621
Company, halt!
891
01:21:15,410 --> 01:21:18,682
- There's their destination, sir.
- Henry House.
892
01:21:27,114 --> 01:21:28,592
Wade Hampton's Legion?
893
01:21:28,752 --> 01:21:31,140
To the right, sir, the Hodam's branch.
894
01:21:31,309 --> 01:21:33,662
Let's show them how to whistle Dixie.
895
01:21:48,729 --> 01:21:52,432
Draw sabers!
896
01:21:52,603 --> 01:21:54,319
I'll send you back
with a message.
897
01:21:54,482 --> 01:21:58,948
Ain't leaving you or my post.
No matter what happens. We're a team.
898
01:21:59,116 --> 01:22:00,514
Yes, sir.
899
01:22:23,444 --> 01:22:26,558
- That's not our legion.
- Doesn't matter. It's our war now.
900
01:22:32,955 --> 01:22:34,703
Company, advance!
901
01:22:54,009 --> 01:22:57,632
Beat a rally, Tom.
Loud as you can! Come on!
902
01:23:04,714 --> 01:23:06,384
Ready!
903
01:23:07,432 --> 01:23:09,464
Aim!
904
01:23:09,628 --> 01:23:11,663
Fire!
905
01:24:37,838 --> 01:24:41,429
We need doctors!
Are there any doctors here?
906
01:24:42,154 --> 01:24:44,665
We need you.
Take horses and follow me.
907
01:24:45,071 --> 01:24:46,979
Private, what is happening?
908
01:24:48,308 --> 01:24:50,614
With respect, sir,
all hell is breaking loose.
909
01:24:50,783 --> 01:24:52,850
The wounded are coming in fast.
910
01:24:53,019 --> 01:24:54,656
We're trying to run for home.
911
01:24:55,137 --> 01:24:57,170
Run from the damn rebels?
912
01:24:57,334 --> 01:24:59,164
We've no choice sir.
They're whipping us.
913
01:24:59,692 --> 01:25:02,805
- How bad is it?
- It's over. We can't hold them.
914
01:25:03,328 --> 01:25:06,918
I suggest you get the women and
children out before they block the road.
915
01:25:08,481 --> 01:25:12,105
You salute a superior officer
before taking your leave. Private!
916
01:25:12,277 --> 01:25:15,549
We have to go now before we jam up
the road. Corporal, quickly!
917
01:25:19,667 --> 01:25:20,893
Let's go!
918
01:26:43,884 --> 01:26:45,871
Fall back!
919
01:27:51,159 --> 01:27:54,465
Corporal! Come back here!
Corporal!
920
01:27:54,635 --> 01:27:56,510
Grab the reins.
921
01:28:03,906 --> 01:28:06,051
- What are you doing?
- Move over!
922
01:28:07,860 --> 01:28:09,768
Oh, my God!
923
01:29:01,591 --> 01:29:05,024
My God, the whole world's
gone insane, George.
924
01:29:06,786 --> 01:29:08,616
Completely insane.
