I was born Sarah Sally Hemings in the year of our Lord 1773.
I was born to slavery but destined to scandal.
My family, the Hemings were unique in that we had last names and comprised most of the
house servants.
At Monticello we were never referred to as slaves and my mother Betty, she was its
matriarch.
Sally!
Sally!
Sally!
No baby!
It's here!
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
You hear me?
Your sister is here, come on.
Hey%.
It's a bear. It's a frog.
Oh, you have that baby safe time.
The critter is a bear.
It's a bear.
It's me, a boy!
Who is this boy, child?
Shameen!
Him-me! Him-me!
Well, another one of my pickin' in is.
I had a fancy $800 one, mate.
Yeah, another pretty little hemming. No thanks to it.
It's Papa.
Master Peter, Master Samuel, get them horses off this row.
Get, get, look!
Mind your business about my critter and get back to your own plantation!
Sister, you sweet little thing.
I'm gonna help you look after him.
Sally, Isabelle's baby is due any day. She can't go.
You're taking Polly.
You're Paris?
No, get Hannah. You get Ursula. I wanna go.
Oh, sweet pea. I'm sending you.
Cause your brother James says the Negroes are free over there.
And that's where you are going.
I don't wanna leave you and Henry.
I don't care about being free.
Don't you ever let me hear you say that.
Being free is a precious gift.
I was going to jump the broom with Henry.
What I'm doing, I'm doing for you.
I want you to have something none of us has ever had.
Sally?
Henry.
What else made you free a trip?
I told him before I told you.
It's beautiful, Henry.
I ain't never had none so beautiful in all my life.
And I ain't never lost nothing so beautiful in all mine.
I love you, Sally.
Oh, what are you gonna do without you?
You act like I ain't coming back.
Don't you hate me?
Sally, I don't wanna go.
How many of you, Polly?
I promised me we'll always have each other.
Polly, Jefferson, you get on back to the house.
Sally, get me in pack for Paris.
What do you want?
You're a little bit too old.
Hi, my name is Maria.
I'm a little bit too old.
I'm a little bit too old.
I'm a little bit too old.
I'm a little bit too old.
What's it?
What do you say?
I think he called it by a proper name, Maria.
Sally!
She's got my little sister, I see.
Look at you.
Attention, McMoye J.
The swim has the Jeffers, isn't it?
Don't tell the notion.
Very grand, very expensive.
Sally, what are you doing here?
It's about to have the baby, so mama Sammy take care of Polly.
And what, folks, isn't he?
Of course they do.
And Jeff, the teeth and eye run thing.
Allow me to show you to your room.
J.C. members, Ed.
What?
Here it is.
This can't be mine, this must be Polly's.
Sally, you're not a slave anymore.
Here in France, you are an effemte champs.
That's French for maid.
Look, and look here.
See, this is pretty.
You wear this when you're serving Mr. Jefferson's best friends tonight.
I serve wearing this.
Suppose I say the wrong thing.
Suppose I don't understand what they're saying to me.
I don't know, no French.
Oh Lord, what was mama thinking?
Sally, mama's thinking you're going to learn French,
and you're going to learn how to read and write.
Then you're going to take advantage of opportunities she never had.
Now you get yourself dressed.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with her first step.
Please, go on to part.
Can you believe that France is bankrupt?
The key.
He told me he wanted to buy the hotel to the wrong room,
went to Cologne for the money and found the treasury empty.
I agree, how can the king even consider such a purchase while his people starve?
Mr. Payne.
Martha.
Don't let me introduce my sister Polly.
Polly, you're enchanting my dear.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
Polly, you're enchanting my dear.
My daughters, you look so lovely.
Thank you for that.
To Pong, you were saying?
I caution you, ambassador.
Not to speak so boldly outside these walls, on the streets perhaps,
but I recommend restraint, a pen and a tongue.
In L'Oftea circle.
Excuse me.
James, who is that?
Well, that's our Sally, sir.
Is that a hammies?
Yes, mister.
My goodness.
Baddies, little girl.
Last time I saw you with this talk.
Who have you come?
A specifically instructed Betty to send Isabel?
Isabel is having a baby, so...
And you accompanied Polly all this way?
She's very capable, sir.
Speak up, child.
No one will hurt you.
Simon, is I in trouble, mister?
No, Sally.
No, but you have done very well, very well indeed.
Thank you, mister.
Thomas, you really must do something about these slave endearments.
Not the girl's speech, Melly.
Reflects southern life, that is all.
Southern slave life.
Well, I cannot believe that Sally's speech is of such concern.
Thank you, Sally.
Forgive me, Thomas.
I just thought that as the girl is here now, you could at least tutor her.
And, in turn, she could help you to, uh, how shall I say it?
Refine your observations on Negroes that you started and notes on the state of Virginia.
Hey, gentlemen.
Coming up, postpone this conversation until after dinner.
After all, Thomas as young as is here.
My apologies, lady, cause we stand corrected now.
The best food in tobacco and Paris awaits to let us enjoy ourselves.
All right, you will sit to my right and Polly, my little angel, you will sit to my right.
Angel, you will sit to my left and you will tell me all about your trip.
Life has been unbearable without you.
Beautiful years.
It was mother's favorite.
He misses her soul.
It remains true to his promise never to remarry.
I'm sorry, Miss Jefferson.
I was admiring now.
I wasn't stealing it.
Oh, that's quite all right, Sally.
Now, that was given to be by my law teacher and mentor.
So, you know what, mentor?
I'm sorry, Miss Jefferson.
I was admiring now.
I wasn't stealing it.
Oh, that's quite all right, Sally.
Now, that was given to be by my law teacher and mentor.
So, you know what, mentor means, Sally?
A mentor is a trusted teacher or guide.
My instincts tell me that you have a good mind.
Worth mentoring.
My cult, Sally, please.
I'm afraid I slipped on last last year.
Well, my wrist just hasn't mended properly since.
Sally, could you be so kind as to sit here and help me with this, please?
Goodbye.
All I think about lately is going home.
Paris is lovely, but if anyone thinks that King's nobles or priests
or good conservatives or public happiness, send them here.
Send them here.
Well, I heard those French folks talking about that queen.
They ain't happy.
Talk, in, in, please put jeez on the end of your words,
and they are not happy.
I'm getting the point, Master.
I am getting the point.
Please don't call me Master anymore.
Why, you my Master no more?
Call me Mr. Jefferson or Sir, but no more Masters or Yazoms.
It is imperative that you speak the language correctly.
Yes, sir.
I will try to be more imperative.
Right now, you look exactly like my wife.
The resemblance is uncanny.
I don't remember too much about her, except she was kind.
Yes, she was.
She was kind, and she was clever and funny.
And I miss her.
And she told the worst limericks I ever heard.
What do limericks mean?
Well, a limerick is a five-line poem, meant to be humorous, for example.
A man from Virginia said, why?
Can't I sit on my lap if I try?
So turn round and round until he fell on the ground and finally gave up with a sigh.
I know one.
Then once was a girl from Travises,
whose sweet was of two different sizes.
The right one was small, and of no use at all,
but the left one has several prizes.
The left one has several prizes.
Thank you, Sally.
Mr. Jefferson.
I don't know if it's silly, but I can't see.
I don't know if it's silly, but I can't see.
I don't know if it's silly, but I can't see.
No!
No!
No!
No!
What's he saying?
He's saying the poor people have no food.
No saying they're government.
They shouldn't sit back and watch their children starve while the king and queen,
and the king and queen, Baskin, love to ignore their plight.
Look down on the back!
De-bear!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
Mr. Jefferson!
Mr. Jefferson!
Take!
And the news!
And the new passé!
And the new passé!
The passé!
Since coming to France, I have begun to admire the piety and humble nature of the church.
Not the church.
Indeed, Martha.
Are you aware that the best education in Paris can be obtained in convent schools?
Yes, you have made that very clear, my dear.
Lovely, isn't she?
Who?
I was referring to Pauli.
Oh, Pauli. Pauli, yes.
Indeed.
The Cardinal has recently spoken of the people of Paris' great hunger for the spirit.
Martha, you are beginning to try my patience, that people are hungry for food.
Pauli, Thomas, I've accepted that you weren't over your wife's death.
But I had hoped when you were ready to open your heart again, it would be to me.
All right, you know how I feel, but this is not the time or the place.
Excuse me, Papa.
Martha wants to study with the Catholic nuns, Papa.
No, I don't know how you feel.
I'm willing to give up my husband, my religion, England.
But except for your letters, you're always withdrawn and aloof.
They'll be more than ever.
All right, please do not judge me on the last few weeks.
Papa, you're not listening.
What is it?
Papa, pay attention to me, Thomas.
Don't take up on me, Pauli.
It's always like this when I want something.
You've been Martha, we, Papa.
One of this talk of religion brings to mind the recent censorship on my priest.
Your priest?
The test has refused from all my marriage, and I've found all the circumstances.
I'm going to try to work things out with Richard.
I shall return to London.
All right, please.
Thank you for your hospitality, Ambassador.
But T.I. shall be ready to embark at dawn.
Good evening.
Thank you.
Grb at akboz was.
Over the next nine months, under Mr. Jefferson's guidance and
maddin do praise tutelich, I was coached in the manners of society.
And I learned to read and write in French and in English.

I know you.
I saw you talking in the square about liberty.
You're just a thief.
No.
No, uh...
I have a son.
I can't feed him.
You are not an aristocrat.
I work here.
You're American.
I'm a slave.
Does that mean you are not an American?
I have read about American slavery.
In many ways, it's no different from peasants here.
You should join our cause.
Stand for something.
Thank you.
Tonight my son will eat.
Maxie will call me sir.
Not American.
I'm not an aristocrat.
I'm a slave.
You're a spy.
I'm a slave.

I'm a slave.

We should not even be here.
It's far too close in here for me.
Constance Martha.
Find something of an improving nature for your sister.
Look for Rousseau.
We shall wait for you in the street.
Kelly.
May I ask you something?
Well, there's a...
When you wrote the Declaration of Independence,
you ordered for all the people.
Yes.
And if all men are created equal,
that would mean all Americans.
All men everywhere. All human beings.
Including slaves?
Sally.
If you ask my opinion.
Slavery is an abomination.
Cruelty against human nature.
There's no reason for the...
Pray to be part of one.
I have a pamphlet that is written by Mr. Thomas Payne,
which you should read.
It's called Common Sense.
He asked some of these same questions
and provides some answers.
Yes, I think that Mr. Payne could shed some light
on this complicated situation.
Better than you can.
Should an independent seat be brought about by
the first of those means,
we have every opportunity and every encouragement
before us to form the noblest, purest constitution
on the face of the earth.
We have it in our power to begin the world over again.
For the spring party given by Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette,
Mr. Jefferson had a special gown designed for me,
so I could attend his daughters in style.
I am not a good person.
I am not a good person.
I am not a good person.
I am not a good person.
I am not a good person.
Sorry, take up my dream.
Yes, ma'am.
My dear Mr. Payne.
Ah, there you are, Thomas.
I see you decided to join the festivities after all.
Only for our ambassador, dear boy.
I will not breathe a word of your proximity of the royal family.
I cannot bear this king or that silly woman.
Then let us put a little more distance between you and them.
Sally, if anyone should ask, Mr. Payne and I,
going towards my other goddess.
Weak men cannot see, and prejudice men will not see.
And we have it in our power to begin the world again.
Mr. Payne, it's such a wonderful, powerful word you wrote, sir.
Thank you, my dear.
Sally.
Extraordinary girl.
Extraordinary.
This is my wife, Di, and I have done nothing but
immerse myself in my work, knowing my heart has been dead.
Until recently.
So?
There is a new entry.
No.
Of course.
That stunning mulatto, who you obviously gave my pamphlet to.
Oh, no, no, no.
There you are, Mr. Payne.
Thomas, if there were ever a reason to accept Washington's appointment
and push an anti-slavery bill through Congress, dear boy, she is the best.
Payne, Payne, Payne.
When I came here less than a year ago, that young girl could fairly speak.
Now she quotes.
Well, me.
Look at her, Thomas.
She exhibits your taste, your tutorship, your style.
Does she not represent the thousands of slaves who could be productive members of society were it not for slavery?
Oh, Sally, it's quite me, you know? She is indeed.
So what are you waiting for?
Martha?
Oh, come here.
Yes.
Look at the feet.
Oh, look at the feet.
Oh, look at the feet.
Oh, look at the feet.
Oh, look at the feet.
Look at the feet.
Look at the feet.
Oh, would you be so good as to dance with your old father?
Hey.
Goodbye.
Of what concern is it if I enroll in the Abbey?
I have so many other preoccupations, it seems.
It would hardly be missed.
You know, Martha, you would be missed and I would miss.
You are the greatest part of my heart.
And you must never, never take that for granted.
You're a lovely night here.
Thank you.
Thomas!
I realize I haven't had the chance to talk to your lovely daughter.
Martha?
Thank you, Sally.
You're welcome.
The same week Martha and Paolo were enrolled in boarding school.
Thomas made arrangements for James to cook for the DuPonts.
All servants were dismissed except Petit.
Well, perhaps I was too rash.
She kept begging me to let it go.
Now she has a wish I can only hope that I have done the right thing by sending it to conference schools.
But after all, she was correct.
Common schools do offer the best.
Best education here.
Why, you look at me like that.
I find I enjoy looking at you, Sally.
And I so love your touch.
I found I need your touch even more than perfectly sound.
I cannot explain it.
Sally?
I think you broke Petit you called now.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.

I've never seen you.
I'll be in trouble.
I'll be in trouble.
Sally.
What happened last night?
Please forgive me, I can't.
I'm happy to be here.
Have I sweet love remembered such wealth brings,
that then I scored to change my states with kings?
Fushing sage?
Perestia?
Fucks?
Flux, Peniculata.

Hello everyone, I'm
instantly
ASMR
Mr. Jefferson?
Mr. Hammons.
I love you.
It must not.
You fight me, mate.
I'd love to.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I must not.
You fight me, mate.
I'd love to.
You fight me, mate.
I'd love to.
Sally,
my heart and my head
are wrestling with the consequences of this.
You are too young and too vulnerable of your mind.
You are in my service.
And yet I am happy
when I'm with you, I feel again.
In my life,
I only feel joy.
Riding continued all over Paris.
And on July 14th,
the family in 89,
the French people stormed the past east.
The violence signaled the beginning of the French Revolution.
Sally!
Sally!
Sally, get in.
Why are you out here?
Don't you know the streets are all like a safe drive-on?
I've sent for my son, probably in your brother James.
We're leaving tomorrow.
Come on.
Tell him what's wrong, what's the matter?
This is our song.
And Thomas just is our song.
With Charles, have you lost your mind?
How could you bring another slave bastard into this world?
How?
And now he's trying to force us home.
Well, you tell him.
You tell him revolution or no, we're staying.
We're staying here friends with you and I,
and that baby can be free.
I love him, James.
James, I'm very fond of you.
But I'm the President of the Southern Census.
I'm staying in France and my sister's staying with me.
Sally?
Sally, now you know I didn't come on this way to taste freedom by myself.
If you decide to return home, I'll go back with you.
But make your decision wisely, it affects us all.
Especially that unborn child.
I'll let us be clear.
You are in danger here.
We're in more danger than America.
In America, you are not my protection.
Sally, with slaves under his protection.
I'll be in both of you.
If I know same what happens to me,
I won't give birth to a slave.
I'm free now and I want my child to be free.
I'm sorry.
Please come back with me.
Why should I?
Because...
comes off.
You see?
You see, you are nothing to him, Sally.
That is enough.
Sally, I cannot go back to Monticello without you.
Tell me what I must do.
I'll be back in a minute.
Listen, don't look anything.
You should.
I don't think you'll have any.
James Anise.
If you return to Monticello with your sister,
you will be free.
You have my son-in-law.
ASHES
When we arrive at the music scene, this house can be used.
Your Jace to askEG heel floor for you.
I beg of you to go home.
Are you asking me to do that?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I remember this of you.
The Tree of Liberty must, from time to time,
be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Because you are a defender of liberty,
tonight you shall not join the natural manure you have written about so eloquently.
You miss, not American.
Remember, you stand for something.
Save passage, monsieur.

Your cousin Jack has grown up?
Sir, all the Virginia has sent messages of welcome.
Even the President posted a letter to you.
Thank you, Peter.
Dan, welcome, Gig.
Welcome, chairman.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you all.
I'm going to go.
Watch the steps.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Jenny!
This is Jeff from Story's Turn It
Street Street, Ruth.
Henry, you and the other boy
shared the horse.
There!
It's a good joke.
You
What?
Real, French fabric.
Look at this.
Would you like to try it on?
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare stop wanting fine things.
Fine things are traps.
But I only wanted to try it on.
I suppose your sister only wanted to try it on too.
You see what I got her?
Get on out of here, critter.
Sally, I'm very disappointed in you.
You were supposed to stay over there and be free.
James was going to see you.
And now both of you are back here.
And you with your belly is big as I was.
Why, Master Tom?
Please, Mother, enough of this.
Please, Mother, enough of this.
My, my, my, my.
We do have such class now, don't we?
It's a style.
And sophistication.
You let me tell you something, Missy.
You coming back here with your proper English and French clothes
don't make you nothing but a fancy slave.
I made a choice, Mama.
The same choice you made with Master Wales.
I didn't have no choice.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
You're a damn fool, Sally.
You critter?
Sally?
Sally?
Why don't you worry, then, Sally.
You're going to need a man to take care of you and that young
you want to get here, and I do that.
Well, it's not like the Henry.
The baby's got to pop up.
Daddy's already here.
No.
No, Sally, no.
I'm sorry, Henry.
Well, my mother was brought over here from Africa.
Old Captain Hummings.
He took her.
She had me.
Then he turned around and he sold us to Master Wales.
Master Wales started in with me.
I had the six of you.
He turned around and we ended up here.
That's the way it is with her, Sally.
Mom and I always thought we were protected.
Now you had this baby coming from Amsterdam.
You listen to me.
You get that freedom for your baby in writing and you get it now
while you still got what Master Tom wants.
Master Abs?
Hello?
Oh, a red duck man.
My hand says...
We'll back that lane and see if the girl...
The system where there's home.
Sally and James, the family's home.
All the more reason to celebrate.
Say how good are you?
Come to Randolph!
Mr. Randolph, my dear cousin, how good have you become.
Martha, you remember your cousin Thomas Van Randolph?
A newly-oved verana plantation, I recall.
Yes, I am.
Your dress, it comes you, dear cousin.
You said it before, Mr. Randolph.
Indeed.
You didn't better leave the room.
You did, Barry.
Badness, sir.
Uncle, here's the news.
From President Washington True, sir.
I'm afraid it is.
I'm afraid that.
Uncle, I may announce it.
Please.
Tof!
Right, everybody!
Tof!
Dear Uncle, it comes as no surprise that you have been called once more
in service to our new nation by its president,
and I hereby raise my glass in salute.
Mr. Secretary of State!
Thank you, Mr. Randolph.
It had been my great hope to spend the remainder of my days
in pursuits infinitely more pleasing
than my occupations of the last 18 years.
However, it seems I am to be compelled to return to the world of politics
by our president.
It is my duty, and I will serve.
However, in the meantime, we are home, we are together,
and we should all dance.
Hmm!
I need you.
lio, collegue of God.
Mr Lamb, if you do all my work,
let me tell you to go anywhere else.
You must not be a documents in thorns.
I do not even believe until the fall, and it's not there ever.
I shall often be home.
Tell me, Thomas.
No, I do not understand.
What am I now?
Do you?
Tell me what I mean to you.
You are my own sweet Sally.
And we should make the most of the time that we have.
Here.
Here.
Here.
There.
There.
The baby.
Go.
There.
There.
There.
There.
There.
Oh, my.
Yeah?
James!
James!
James!
It's the boy.
What color is it?
Why do you smell this?
Thomas Jefferson!
Give me!
Good girl.
Oh, no.
Miss Bitty?
Henry.
Sally?
Sally?
Thank you, Henry.
He's, uh, he's so...
It's all right, Henry.
He had brought linen and leyette.
Polly very much wanted to see the newborn.
Sally, is beautiful.
As you are aware, Mr. Jefferson leaves for Washington tomorrow.
We must all prepare for his departure.
Martha had married Thomas Mann Randolph in the spring of 1790.
And moved to Edge Hill Plantation, where the gift of 20 slaves, including Henry Jackson.
During Mr. Jefferson's term as Secretary of State, Monticello flourished, despite the scarcity of his visits home.
I love Mary Todd.
Sally?
It's how good is white folks?
I'll teach you how to read too.
Let me get myself peeled.
Oh, this is a law against it.
Ain't nothing around here worth reading.
I want to die for.
Can you stay close now?
You know, Sally, I done fixed myself.
Look out there at all those black folks picking tobacco.
Don't none of them know their daddies.
And white women on every plantation be looking the other way when a man goes with us.
We got to take it and be quiet.
Live with the shame and the pain and the knowing if we don't, we get sold or beat up.
I didn't want another child growing up in this.
So I took a branch to myself.
One day after Peter done me.
And I bled so bad, Suki said I can do that.
I have no choice.
Oh, Lord. Henry Jackson.
You pay him no mind now, sister.
Jamie? Jamie.
Mind yourself now, Henry.
How are you keeping, Henry?
Good, Sally.
I'm working over at H.E.L.C. and there's a mark there.
That mad man, she married.
Thomas Brenda. He's mad, isn't he?
That's a loonie.
Miss Moff would be acting like a fine.
But that boy, they're murdering to herself, getting to put his clothes on.
Must have.
It's a mis-summonized dream.
It's a play by William Shakespeare.
He was really smart now, huh?
Reading, writing, speaking at French.
So, that's your boy.
Mm-hmm. This is Tom.
Henry, I...
I ain't want to see you, Sally.
That's why I told Master Jefferson I wanted to go with the mother's over at Miss Moff's place.
I just couldn't be around you till the pain was out of me.
You still look like a cop in a Henry?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Could be a funnage of work, though.
I'm using measuring some numbers.
Look, you see that?
That's the letter A.
Look.
A.
A, met some a nice drink.
B is for bottom.
And C.
C is for candle.
D is for dark.
Dark night.
Dark night, that front the eye, his function takes.
The ear more quick of apprehension makes.
Wearing it doesn't impair the seeing sense it pays the hearing double recommends.
But why, unkindly, does that leave me so?
Dear Thomas, your absence has made the day seem longer than ever.
Yet I feel my time wisely with many activities in the big house and along Mulberry Road to distract me from my longings for you.
You should see your spring garden. It has grown to overflowing its summer's end.
Our little son has discovered not only his own toes, but mine as well.
And he has also learned to say the word papa.
Once again, I'm compelled to tell you how very much I miss your presence here.
What that you could hold me once again?
I am, sir.
Your.
Sally.
My own sweet Sally.
My father's here and I have missed our harvest, but I have happier news.
Martha is with child. Do you and play November and will come to Monachone?
It is my hope to be there as well.
It is far too long.
It will be without a car.
Dear Thomas, I was so happy to receive your letter which was Henry.
And after your shear.
Henry.
Your books arrived from the Capitol.
I read every word over and over. I'm so happy that you're coming home soon.
And I cannot wait to be by your side.
Sally. Where else was nature spread so rich and mantle under the eye, but at Monachone?
I wonder what majesty rides above the storms.
How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature.
Oh, Sally. I long to be with you on our little mountain.
He's talking about Monachone, Henry.

Oh, my God.
Carrot's right has made me ill.
Holly?
Why, you look ravish.
Oh, homie Maria.
Holly is so childish.
Sister, you look very sophisticated.
I've missed you, so where is everybody?
Something?
Sally?
Well, you're not informed of my arrival.
Where is Betty?
Oh, Mr. Randall.
I need to drink of water.
Yes, yes.
I need to drink of water, please.
Yes, yes.
I'm bravely caught in here.
Oh.
Where is...
my inside spanning?
Oh!
Oh!
Sally, help me, please.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, help me!
When Martha's child was still born,
Mr. Jefferson left Washington immediately
to be by her side, but was unable to attend the funeral.
Head chugs, be not seen.
Nuts and blind worms do no wrong.
Come not near our ferric queen.
Leaving spiders, come not here.
Hence, you long-legged spinners.
Hence, beers.
Jesus, help me!
Help me!
John!
John just flew something.
I saw...
I knew...
it even hit me.
Now, now you want me to hear?
Oh, Jesus, help me!
He's getting...
I'm getting...
Oh!
You're in the hammies, come and get us in the river!
Just cross the river through the shallots.
Don't be afraid.
Just follow it.
You hide that day and you travel by night.
I don't know.
Just stay here, let them come to us.
Every two of them!
One back here!
Got all my little dish.
Just why does my momma?
We belong here, my son.
I just lost my nigga because you don't help to go.
Now I gotta give me a new one.
Hey!
Hey!
Over!
Fuck my nigga!
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.
I'm gonna get you.
Hey!
Over!
Fuck my nigga!
You hold it!
Come on, gal.
Come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want you, sir.
I am at property.
The town's the Jefferson.
Yes, sir.
Are you ready?
Yes, sir.
44F
You've just sit back!
Why you stepped back?
Just let it sit.
Is Jefferson, sir?
He's two.
We're down to the river helping one of mine escape.
I'm tired of my servants.
What?
I'm gonna have to get $800, sir, or, uh, maybe we could settle.
I admire your taste, sir.
Tearing you.
I get out my property now.
I will kill you with my bare hands.
Come here, darling.
They would have killed her.
This plantation is not a refuge for runaway slaves.
I cannot stand by and see another slave hunted like an animal.
Now listen to me, Sally.
This is the law, and it is common sense.
What is more, you will do as I say.
Good morning, Miss Hamings.
I neglected to mention last night that despite my reputation as a consummate politician,
I was unable to get a single policy enacted during my stay in the Capitol.
And therefore, I have handed my resignation into the President.
Sally, I am home for good.
Now, I have decided to build you a room in this house, Captain Kenned.
Peruse the design.
The spirit to discourse requires privacy, and so do you and I.
Sanctum santorum.
Oh, beautiful day in the Piedmont.
The next four years were filled with happiness and growth.
Martha had another baby, a girl, and so did I.
The promise of Monticello seemed that Mr. Jefferson's grasp and he reveled in it.
Guide our hands as we seek to redefine our environment.
What is our environment, our planning?
It's not a environment.
That in which we live.
Move aside, move aside, let us not stand in the path of progress.
Behold, new bunch of shell.
See, we shall demolish the front facade most of the second story.
We shall widen the house, which will be crowned by this stone through which we may see the heavens of play.
If we build on the same principle, as the great Roman temple at Vesta, as interpreted by the French, at Le Al O'Blat.
The next 20 years of your life, boy.
Betty, what is this?
A ornate creation.
Mr. Jefferson.
This is the Hemings family quilt.
This is my mother from Africa.
My father, old Captain Hemings.
My two children, Sally, Critter.
Then Daddy.
Master Wales. His daughter.
Martha. Your late wife.
Sally's her sister.
This is my boy, Jane.
And Critters boy.
Jamie.
It's Peter.
And Robert.
And Sally.
And your two little ones.
Tom.
And Edie.
Ah.
Well, our children.
Come and try my little confession.
The swivel chair.
Come along.
Chairs.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
James had questioned his decision to return to America.
It ate away at his soul, and his drinking grew worse.
Sally, I had to walk all the way down here to find you.
Ellen needs to be changed and dressed for dinner.
What's wrong with the little one?
My age is ill.
She won't take my milk.
Don't lie.
I shall inform Mr. Jefferson.
Oh, man.
I shall inform Mr. Jefferson.
As if he can do anything about your sick baby.
She asked as if he can walk on board.
Jamie, please.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
I'm going to swim.
How is everyone this fine evening?
Just fine, sir.
No, sir.
No, sir.
No, sir.
No, sir.
We are not just fine this evening.
We would request that you remain on your side of the plantation.
Oh, James, I think you're a need reason.
I want you to stop raping my sister every time you come here.
You're drunk, boy.
How dear you think that all Negro women are yours for the taking, just because of that.
I'll white skin you all.
If you're not careful and you're drunk in incidents, I'm likely to turn you out to the field.
Now, take your eyes away from me.
I said, take your eyes away from me.
Mr. Peter, please.
Go on back up to the house.
Go back up to the house.
We will take care of it.
James, please.
Just go get cleaned up.
I don't want you acting like a drunk in full for your servant.
Mum, I can stay here no more.
If I do, I'm going to kill one of these white folks.
When we get us all hurt, try it.
Tell the party you run for president.
Uncle, the Congress will wholeheartedly support you.
There are issues that require a man or vision.
Space riots, the economy.
Slavery.
There's an issue team in the debate.
There's nothing to debate.
The South cannot continue to provide three-quarters of the country's continent to back over how to slave workforce.
Is a necessity to perpetuate our southern way of life.
Papa, you have often said that all any of us truly wants is a piece of earth to live on in our loved ones around us and food on our table.
I think the Negroes would work just as well.
I think the Negroes would work just as hard as they do now if they knew at the end of the day that their labors were for their families for their own bit of land.
Besser Jefferson.
James.
I should be leaving Monticello, sir.
I agree, Min Paris.
By returning here, I kept my promise to you and to my family.
I cannot turn down freedom twice, sir.
I have no idea what I'm saying.
I have no idea what I'm saying.
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Holy shaw you.
When Martha's baby died, she was buried in the family cemetery on the hill.
But when Ma Edie died, she, Jefferson's own blood daughter, was buried in the slave cemetery.
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Yes.
Oh, dear Lord.
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
Oh, dear Lord, who sent this little soul back to you?
It had been three years since Mr. Jefferson lost his bid for President, and was appointed Vice President.
And with the deepest love I bestow upon you are beautiful pantops, plantation, 819 acres,
and 26 slaves in service to your happiness.
Polly and Jack.
Polly and Jack.
Henry.
I was the wedding, Sally.
Not even reading.
See this?
The revolts led by freed slave Gabriel Prasza have now caused injury to over two dozen.
You, dozen, plantation owners.
But that man's doing so, you gotta hammer things sometimes.
I soon as bring a musket up here, put a bullet in the pecker woods here.
Gabriel Prasza means to kill people.
You know that isn't right.
Of course it ain't to you.
Or none of you's Heming's house negroes.
See, all you all do is cook and serve and go to weddings.
Don't you feel nothing for me?
Huh?
You see what you feel for him, huh?
And he up there in the capital with another woman.
Yeah, that's right.
A white woman.
Her name's Margaret Bayard Smith.
Been seeing her ever since I've been vice president.
Your brother tell me he'd drive him around.
And he just come here to you and you lies on your back going,
Oh, master, thank you, master.
Here be a baby.
Oh, master, here be another.
Don't you remember how I felt when that white slave abassed the grandeur?
Huh?
Just know he could take you whenever he wanted?
Well, that's how it is for most of us.
That's right.
Now come with me.
Come with me, Sally, and bring your young-
Every stomach, please.
Be in your sleeve.
What can I do but tend upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time to spend, no service to do,
till you require.
Take you, Sally.
It's my heart.
I love you, Sally.
I love you.
It's wonderful, wedding, Jupiter.
My poly, but so good.
Mother, put it down here.
Good.
Thank you.
Sally, you left the wedding.
Poly, I missed you.
Well, now, man, look through here.
This is the ideal site to build a university.
Who is Margaret Barry Smith?
Mrs. Smith is a friend, a social companion.
I just spent time with Margaret when her husband...
Margaret?
When her husband...
Her husband?
When her husband is away from Washington.
We keep similar company, and that is all.
Look, that is the case, Mr. Jefferson.
I too keep similar company.
I see her.
Is my own?
Who is it?
What do you care?
Who is it?
Leave me alone!
Come back here.
You lost your mind.
Why?
Because I keep coming to the car for now.
I will not have a lot of man touching.
I just don't want to be.
I'm scared.
You're pumped to me.
You don't have to hurt me.
You owe me.
Sally.
Sally.
Sally.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hi, President.
Mr. Vice President, I'm Sheriff Clinton, and these are my deputies.
There's some trouble outside Richmond with regard to several armed escape slaves.
How did this count to be, sir?
Run away by the name of Gabriel Prosser, Gouthedo Ruthless, Bunch of Young Bucks, including one that we believe came under your ownership.
Oh.
Henry Jackson?
But we caught him, and he'll be hanged at first light.
Sally!
He took part in a plot to murder a family, Sally.
There was nothing I could do.
Does this surprise you?
That people get me strained so tight that yoga slayer made them want to kill.
I thought Henry had to read it right.
You could be hanged for that.
Then what is your solution?
Where do you stand on slavery?
I have fought against this.
Not enough.
I believe so strongly in the cessation of slavery that I wrote specifically to the people.
Not specifically to this issue and my first draft of the Declaration of Independence and Southern delegates, men, and respected.
To all those passages, to shreds obliterating every reference to slavery, not one idea survived, not one.
Then you must fight again.
In Paris, you told me this abomination must end.
Be true to your words, Thomas.
If you become president, you cannot come to my bed.
Then go to your white congress and do nothing about this plague on my people.
In 1798, I had given birth to my son, Beverly.
Thomas decided to run the president again and sought the support of the press.
Close to our guests.
Mr. James Thompson, calendar, distinguished scribe for the Richmond recorder.
We hope she'll aid us in Mr. Jefferson's bid for the presidency.
Mr. Coward.
And Mrs. Madison, do you recall where last we met?
At the Elias Theatre in New York City.
What was the play that evening?
You were in the company of Mr. Aaron Burr, I believe.
Sir, I do not discuss my previous social circles.
Not a day, the ice-peaker, the decade past.
Surely you are not a creature played with embarrassment or burr prior indiscretions.
In discretion, sir, I fought his feet upon such things.
The truth is knowledge, or whatever.
We are all protectors of the First Amendment in this household, are we not?
And I give thanks for that, madam.
As I have printed more items against the Federalist and in favor of your father,
than any journalist might deem wise.
Mmm, delicious.
Is that strapping young lad your son?
Yes, sir, he is.
I see your plump with another.
Is the boy's father also a servant?
And so they speak of Monticello's fair-skinned slaves.
Auburn, blonde and red hair abounding such mixed beauty, no doubt, created by it.
They are members of the same family, sir.
And which family might that be, sir?
The hammock's family.
Ah!
But then I must commend you on acquiring such a rare family
and for allowing this dusky beauty to function as mistress of Monticello.
Let us speak candidly with one another, Mr. Jefferson.
I would favor the withholding of any embarrassment with regard to your family and friends
for consideration of a bit of pocket change, or should you ascend to the presidency,
perhaps the consideration of postmaster in this your home state of Virginia.
I found it hard to believe that you would attempt to blackmail me and my own home.
Well, you are a candidate for the presidency of the United States, sir.
A delicate business with regard to reputation.
I, Thomas Jefferson, solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States
and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend.
Our daughter, Harriet Jefferson Hemings, was born in 1801.
The same year Thomas became the third President of the United States
and I became the most infamous woman of color in America.
It is well known that the man who made delight with the people to honor
keeps and for many years has kept as his concubine, one of his slaves,
by this wench, Sally, our President has had several children.
Sir, all this because you would not appoint this man as a proofmaster.
Madison, talk to you.
Calendar, I spread these allegations of your personal life for all the world to see.
Tell me as well. I have never in my life, or swept a man.
But in count of the case, I would be glad to make an exception.
Thomas, I come to tell you that members of Congress ridicule you
and speculate on how soon you shall resign.
That may or may not have happened between me and Ms. Hemings
is no business of Congress, or anyone else come to that manner.
All these charges will be ignored.
Enowned. Thomas, you must respond.
To respond us to engage.
Her name is Sally. The name of her eldest son is Tarl.
That God he calls him the little President.
His feet here bear a striking resemblance to the President himself.
Oh, look! Oh, Papa.
We should sell them all.
You are the President, man. Your conduct must be above reproach.
Now, take immediate action.
Unless...
do you love her?
Do you love your wife?
Yes, but she is...
but she is white.
Well, maybe you're right, James.
Maybe I should answer these claims and say, yes, I am an unattached widower.
Yes, I have a black mistress, and yes, I have children by her.
And as President, I intend to take the position of my youth and put an end to slavery.
Then you will not be able to do it.
If you are not a slave, then you will no longer be President.
win cap I will no longer be President.
Now, what is it?
Come,Care Pa No.
The suit is like a pack of my clothes.
This is all my fault.
I thought this will be down, man.
I wish to speak to you, sir.
This is not appropriate.
I wish to speak to the President now.
Damn you! The power!
Well, Sally, if you must, we are discussing what should be done.
In light of the growing scandal you have brought on our household.
Mother, please.
Sally, I cannot speak with you now.
The matter be so. Is our son to be so?
That is enough.
Papa, have you known it already in your own home?
Sally, I cannot speak with you.
Yes, sir.
Mother, please.
What is the matter with you? Did you not hear me?
I cannot speak with you now.
Oh, I hear all words.
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
What truth to whom?
Endowed by their creator with life and liberty.
You are scheming to sell my life now, you hypocrite.
Oh, Sally.
Our son.
Our boy is leaving us, Mr. Jefferson.
He is leaving this place, and you and me,
and I am allowing this.
And you will not stop him.
Mr. Jefferson has a cousin,
by the name of Jerry Woodson.
He's in Green Bryant County.
You stop there for food.
He's going to sell you all, mama.
Okay.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
You have this.
You remember who you are.
You take care of yourself.
I love you, Thomas.
Dr. wildfires.
R Nate.
We can do matters here.
Well, I love you.
Their success must be broken.
