Original subtitles

You

If you for one moment wish to doubt the danger of this attack upon us read this the aristocracy of this neighborhood is one of the

Violists in America James calendar

He's calendar be damned since papa has chosen not to address this issue

We as his family must be mindful of his legacy

Papar's the president of the United States Mr.. Randolph, it's Angel Peter. We must all agree

It shall be the position of this family that these accusations regarding Sally of force and

The events have never occurred

Upon your return to Washington, you must defend your presidency

You must extricate yourself from this madness papa

It will doubtless be contradicted by a proper authority and calendar will be punished as he ought

so enormous and liable

But you must deny these claims Sally must be sold

I

Trust you implicitly in all things and I leave you in charge of Monticello and all who live here

But in this matter you are wrong

So sell Sally would be turned around to an admission of guilt

More importantly Sally is one of our own and she will never be sold

We may be vilified by the world, but she will not be a bad

You

What are you doing in my room?

This is no longer your room

Nothing in here is yours

It all belongs to papa and therefore to me upon my orders. You are barred from this house most especially from this room

Now get out

No, I will not allow these shameful letters to make their way into history

My father

Shall be remembered as the righteous and honorable man he is and you will be grateful for his generosity to you and your family

And you will be silent

Silence do you hear me?

Mr.. Jefferson has returned to Washington

Where he shall look his colleagues in the eye and assure them that his character is beyond for approach and

God be willing

He may one day allow himself a companion of his own standing and color to share in his presidency and his greatness

Back your belongings

Oh

There are no place cards, Mr.. President no need we die in hell now your chair, mrs.. Smith

Hey, mr.. President what intrigues have you brought from home this time?

Such thoughtless a tie for such an elegant dinner Thomas

Margaret do use your influence and introduce the president to brocade preferably

Venetian more difficult than you can imagine mrs.. Madison. He so loves the French

I'll have no trappings of monarchy in this administration. I'm a man of the people

Well, then perhaps the people should buy you a new suit

Preferably Venetian

They know attention to mr.. Pain is an old friend as old as this very expensive wine and equally expensive crystal

Man of the people indeed

Dinner

One of my famous Virginia hands aged and cured of my plantation to be followed by the bonboosh

Ice cream and in addition macaroni macaroni darling you are right. I decided a democratic dish by me say so

And although meeting some initial resistance macaroni has become quite a traction of these dinners

I heard a rumor mr.. President

That you're also in negotiations with the French government regarding the Louisiana territories is it true

We're in luck. You know one rubber out from Paris to say the little Corsican is

willing to sell Louisiana and

Florida's

Yes, well your good fortune is due to those Haitians who are resisting French slavery

Unfortunately indeed that the revolt did not reach these shores. She's stunning is she not?

One could well understand how a man might favor a creature of such complexion

Margaret a toast to the Louisiana purchase

Raise your glass mr.. President

I

Know she'd not have come this was very bold of you to do Sally and I don't care what anyone thinks of me ultimately

We are women aren't we?

Given to the same second-class concerned no matter our color. Do you think it's easy being a political wife?

The way your thrust aside and forced to be a charming though

silent accoutrement

Before we were married I had to fight several earnest widows who were showing their ankles for mr.. Madison

But I learned to adapt to situations

Thomas is fighting for his political life

Learn to adapt Sally

Times will change

Now come with me it's late and the president is no doubt waiting

I

Don't know it does name. Did you make your way here to Washington?

What are you planning to sell me and the children?

Not

No, no you are mistaken you did not hear every word I specifically told Martha you were not to be sold

She has locked me out of my room. She was she had locked me out of the house. Sorry. This is an outrage

Now let's give me say I want to tell her was your home. It will always be your home. You understand?

She cannot treat me like this Thomas. She will not I will see to them

Oh, sorry

Sally

I was bereft when you would not see me

I

Have given you four children Thomas

And yet I'm not the ones that are next to you and dinner. I want to be at your side

You

Good morning, Mr. President

Good morning to you miss having

Mr. President

Do not add up sir the Spanish ambassador awaits your presence in the library. Oh god. Tell him I will be with him shortly. Yes, sir

Take this with you to my dechoa

And rest assured you will have no more trouble for Martha

Remember my heart goes with you

Mr.. President tell me about that will be at least an hour

Oh

Good day, sir, I am James Thompson calendar scribe for the Richmond recorder

I

For the presidents and was alarmed to find it unguarded surely I'm not mistaken. This is the president's carriage. Is it not?

Lady you are the Negroes

Sally Hemings this

Seren diptus encounter may well afford you the opportunity to share your story with the voracious public through the services of my

Personal reportage I have nothing to say to you mr. Calendar you have been much maligned lady

You would be well advised to seize this chance to set things are right

Here is my card feel free to contact me should you experience a change of heart

sir

You are an abomination of mankind no madam

It is your lover who holds that dubious distinction your mr. Jefferson may hood wink his

Colleads with his self-righteous man of the people horse manure, but not me

He may bleat like a white lamb, but he ruts like a black ram

No

What are you doing here forgive me Martha I believe there has been some

misunderstanding the circumstances have not changed

You'll excuse me

Upon my journey from Washington I was met on the road by a man who appeared to be quite solicitous of my opinion with regard to our troubles here

This is his card you would not

Go

Wretch resign the presidential chair disclose thy secret features foul or fair

Good indeed, yes indeed we shall print that one, but let me titillate you with a bit of accompanying text

President Jefferson has been for years living in an habitual load some relationship with his slave

Sally Hemings and through this unholy union he has bred several mixed offspring

Now I ask you how do we present such a relationship to our wives? What do we say to our children?

Is this slave

Fornocator truly the man we want to reelect for another four years a man whose character and personal behavior is so

Despicable it is beneath contempt

Well, then I say to you that the ruin of president japanston his party and indeed his very nation

Lies in the hands of a slot as common as the pavement

I am James Hemings a free man

And you shall not defame my sister indeed sir witness my friends an example of our president's

Repulsively a zone staggering before us blaring in the language of romance silence me sir

I think not or do you even comprehend my word you should pay for your actions all of you you and your kind

You should be cursed my slave curse

You want others you have them to want you remove him remove this pit of the Lord

And if they refuse behold I will smite them all

Ignore my warning I put a cost on you

I

You

Know well and feel what you have lost what you have suffered

What you have to endure and

Our prey our dear James

Will find himself in a heaven which shall be an ecstatic meeting with the friends and family he has loved and lost

All of us join president Jefferson in his sentiments upon the passing of your loved one

I

Remember in Paris a man tipped his hat to me

And my brother turned to me and he said you like that don't you

James spent his whole life

Hoping to be looked in the eye with respect

All his skills

His education his manners even his freedom

Could not gain him this simple wish

So he died in despair

And I honor him

But he did not live in vain and he showed us what we can

And what we will be

Oh

Oh

Who you want gone

And enemy who you want

Tom the weird grind slow

But a grind fine

Threatnought yourself about the weekend for they will soon be caught down

like grass

And we

Said I am so sorry about James

That is money you scattered around

Mr. Jefferson does not allow beatings on this plantation you better back up girl go on

Don't ever push your hands on me. I don't take no back talk from any of you up in the negative put up that with mr

Later, I will run you through now your work here is finished. You return to the house. You collect your wages and get off the property

She could hear the sound

other horse is when

meaning

When he kind of was that

That kind of work

I was looking for Miss Sally

I'm Sally I hear you help folks get know

Oh

Get down off the buggy

Oh

You done real good boy

Don't say a word in over now you hear now get get on out of here

You think you're so damn superior don't you

Better than anybody

You're hot flippin ways and influence on the president

Race mixing is an aberration and you with your indecent randomness which disgrace is southern owner

He'll be sold in the Georgia like a field here

Some folks don't see you dead. I'm happy to blood

We

Feel the honor of our country we do most honestly and sincerely wish to see the stain upon the nation

Remove by the appearance of some

Nigger lovers half breeds

infidels

All right, you sick of it. How many of these half breeds around here yours, brother

I am breeding free labor and we are so grateful

You see Sally is the perfect example of white people's fears

She's smart

beautiful

Impale a

Negorous capable of seducin white men and everyone followed uncle's example by the end of the century

There will be no more white people

That woman is dangerous

Fear not I'm one of the impression the situation is being dealt with

Think on this I

Shotted to imagine now mr. Lily my right his current communication

What

What in God's name are you talking about?

Cleaner up she won't fight your dollar like that

Back away from her lily are you where you stand mr. Carr

Now why would a white man defend a wicked creature like this?

That's it back away Lily and walk down this road now

Hey, you drop your weapons now

Don't worry Sally I'll take care of you

Dear Sally first and foremost I miss you terribly sent my warmest love to you and all of my children

I am witness to a glorious day

I

827,000 square miles of the Louisiana territories and today part of the United States

from the Mississippi to the Great Plains and mountains beyond

Need more mullet we did shit or she'll burn I don't want

Just go

60 million francs for sense an acre to double our national geography and open the door to a vast new world of unlimited resources

Tomorrow I will open the doors to the president's house to the citizenry in celebration

Your all the nation around the strength of central government

Show that together as one we are strong and resourceful

Sally no foe will ever disturb our peace of mind again or the pursuit of our happiness

It is open my love and our trials are now behind us

The country is now focused on the glorious achievements and not the intricacies of my personal affairs

And when my duties here are complete I show a turn in my little mountain and the warmth of your arms

Thomas

Four days later James Thompson calendar was bound round in three feet of water

As you so so shall you reap

But I recognize that I wish I made an anger had been fulfilled in a most horrible way

In the fall of 1803 concerned for Polly's failing help mr. Jefferson returned to Montecello for the harvest celebration

Take this plate over to Virginia

Harry take this dish over to Virginia take it over

A little girl you all over again Harry dude you grandma tells you

Miss Hemings may I have a word with you?

Be careful my love now remember the doctors said you can only be here for a short time

You

Know you could be arrested for harboring happen runaways

What are you talking about I know of several incidences now you take me seriously

If you thought what Lillie did to you was bad imagine what the sheriff would do

Brand you

Me me

Cut off your hand

But I'm always here I

Take your side

And why

Because I keep dreaming one day you realize that I'm the one silly

Me

You know different from the rest of the different from whom my uncle

You read the folded pages you realize that my uncle is not different many other slave home and I am different

You

It's time you knew just exactly what my uncle thinks about your niggra Sally he doesn't care for you the way I do

What is going on

I

Believe you owe me an explanation

And what do you mean I have eyes I just saw you kissing Sally. This is ridiculous. I'm her friend

Let's try to make a feel at ease when you're gone take away some of the pain of this game

requires you to kiss her to touch her

Have you been intimate with her speak up damn you have you done something shameful having you

Having you to the detriment of us all

Would you ask yourself if she might be attracted to me I'm younger stronger

Here when she needs someone when she's in danger instead of you who's up in Washington

This sivawan and denying all claims to her. Oh, you're cute. Thank you

I suggest you return to your own farm and your own wife

I have treated you like a son you're no longer welcome in this house

Leave my sight

He doesn't want to be to you

What is this tone you have taken with me Betty it is a mother's tone

I

Want a word with you man

He tells me that you want a younger man

You want a younger man

Samuel's feelings cannot have progressed without some prompting on your part

How dare you insinuate that I've been intimate with him

But then of course you believe your wife nephew and not your black concubine

Because you wrote this

Whites are superior to blacks and reason and impurities

Yet in music

Blacks are more gifted than whites with accurate is platoon time and rhythm and imagination they are tasteless and dull

They secrete less by the kidneys and more by the glands which gives them a strong disagreeable

Oh, did it occur to you that your slaves don't have your brass bathing tubs or your perfumed oils

And this among blacks is no poetry. I

Have never yet heard of black utter a thought above the level of plain narration

Take of my observations out of context here's one in context

An amalgamation between whites and blacks produced the degradation to which no one can innocently consent

I was wrong

Every time you say no, sorry, I can't do anything about slavery now you wait till I'm elected wait when reelected wait wait

It was all lies your own law against the stagnation prevents from marrying over 25 years ago

I'm going to admit that as a slave state and perpetuate the horror

You're gonna sit on your hands blaming the Southern constituents

Because they say slavery

Sorry what has happened to you? I hate you

Hey, I'm allowed you to tear me into

Stop

Love me

Love me the same way that I love you

Love you

I'm still with you, please

Don't forget that you're on my heart

I love you. God help me. I do

Sorry

It was never never leave me

And I will always love and love you

I

Promise me

I do

After serving two terms as president mr. Jefferson had retired once more to mother cello

Paulie had died in 1804 and my mother in 1807

I had been blessed with two more sons Madison and Eston

Due to a long drought caught in a tobacco crops had failed across the south and Monticello had not been prosperous for years

He had told me his spending and entertaining continued and he fell deeply into debt

What is it mommy? I was just thinking

I was just thinking about an old friend

Paulie who's buried here

in Henry

And your grandma Betty be down by the river. Where should I be buried mama when I die?

Well first of all you won't be dying anytime soon

But when you do you'll be with your grandma

It is precisely 15 minutes before our ceremony is due to begin miss hamming

And yet this group of participants seems to be content to loll around on blankets in the sun

Well, if you would care to look up mr. Jefferson you will see that it is about to rain

Rain nonsense it is too important today for rain

Run our way mr. Jefferson

excellent

That is one happy man sister. That's because he ain't president no more

I

Beautiful that was box sonata and be minor

Oh, thank you Beverly. Oh

Practice practice practice and maybe one day you shall play as well as Beverly Harvings

Mother grandfathers here for the ceremony all on then a grandfather requires president

Mr. Batista mr. Bacon are still waiting for the medium of the park

I fear it's about their wages. Oh, your father won't listen. I'll tell you now

Well, then I shall rely on you not to let him stray from the matter

Keep keep them occupied

Let it be noted that there are those among us who doubted that the sun would shine

There will be no doubting Thomas's on Monticello

Now this flag

Was sent to us by an old and dear friend of Monticello president James Madison

It marks the completion of the dome and a crown on our beloved hall

But we will not rest here on our little mountain

The children of this rising generation shall be the leaders of the next

And therefore the fires of education must burn force from these hills throughout the world

So on with to our next task the building of the University of Virginia

Now I want you all to follow me. I have some amazing surprises to show you

This

Is a skull fragment of the humongous mastodon

Which was found at big bone lick

Here you are

And this year

This is the ceremonial headdress of the great chief black cat

The mandent

This was brought to me by Meriwether Lewis a gift to the great white father

Excuse me for power. Mr. Randolph has brought Mr. Batiste and Mr. Bacon for your meeting

I am already engaged in a meeting Martha as you see all right all of you go outside

Leave the president come here

Mr. Batiste Mr. Bacon

Mr. Batiste

I had an epiphany last night

Yes, sir. An epiphany. I have rendered a drawing and you will see that I have yielded with reluctance

To the taste of Clarissa in his preferences for the noble lines of antiquity

But sir, we are here to discuss the costs of the University

I see

Well gone, but you see sir

I have split my workers

Between the work here and at the university site

The draftsmen have not been paid for their plans

The men have not been compensated since May

I must ask you sir for some or some war

So mr. Randolph. I show we were tired of the forests

Mr. Randolph, sir

We are crippled by death

And you hold out your hand for more mr. Randolph

Please sir, I only wish to

Wish the white bleeders dry

Why should I take a cane to you?

Come

Youth men

Well, my apologies, Jim

Well perhaps some other time as you see we are

somewhat indisposed

Good day gentlemen

You seem to have acquired more books, mr. Jefferson

Oh no, they are not mine

They are for the university library

We cannot dismiss the reality of our financial circumstances

Mother God will provide

And if he does not

When is mr. DuPont expected to arrive?

At week's end

Good, then we shall provide the best for their entertainment

And they in turn will provide the wherewithal for the continuance

Of this great enterprise

The university of it

Oh, my God

Martha I think

Mr. Randolph needs a little assistance

Oh, mr. Randolph

He has recreated the aloe play in the middle of a field

Grand uncle who is that?

Yes, I'm blue

I'm a little early sir

I am most sure of me

You have surprised us in our gun like Adam and Eve

Adebuzo

Adebuzo

Oh, gentlemen, you wonderful man

Ateela

A man by the answer of his hand

I would love to see you again

How long is it been, Maria?

Oh, not since Paris, 70-89, sir

27 years and still a beauty

This is my son Elute

Call him EI

EI

And William Alexandre, who is one half of him, my American nephew

Welcome to Monticello, sir

I shall be up shortly but in the meantime if you would do me the favor of dropping this by the kitchen

So we may enjoy them for our tea is this afternoon

Oh, it's about a napweed

Sweet modding thistle various mince

Very efficacious

But the real tonics are the real tonic

Is to see you my old friend

Yes, me

The mother is up at the house

Come on, let's have him

Come on, Harriet

We still have

We still have a little work there

He's quite the eccentric, isn't he, Grand uncle

Yes, and hopefully still a wealthy one

We shall do the best we can with what we have

Now this must appear to be a big burden, y'all

Despite the lack of trouble the prepping that meet

Y'all meet, mother

You realize that every sheet in the house has a hole in it

You know, pretty that make me dump things for sitting at least 12 at flower and water

This is still missing something

Meet

Effort

Mother

Have you seen that boy with the dew pumps?

He's quite pleasing

Harriet, take the tea up to Mr Jefferson, please

Take the tea up to Mr Jefferson, please, Harriet

Why should I?

Miss you and depart won't drink that tea

Only Mr Randolph drinks that tea because he is sick

There is no time for this, Harriet

I will not go down there and serve

Is this about that boy?

I don't care about that boy, I should be sitting at the table with everyone else

They do pawns of very important guests to Mr Jefferson

I'm not sure if I can get them to the table

I'm sure they'll be there

I'm sure they'll be there

I'm sure they'll be there

I'm sure they'll be there

According guests to Mr Jefferson and to all of us

Now will you kindly come downstairs and help me?

When do you think it would be proper to ask Mr Jefferson about an investment in our company?

Certainly not on the first night it would not be proper we would doggy good guests

When do you feel we should have mentioned the investment in this year?

Well, not on the first night it would not be proper

Not good hosts

Thomas! Melting shadow is beautiful

Thank you, Pierre

I have arranged for you to visit the side of the university tomorrow

I think you will be very impressed we can't wait

Gentlemen, dinner is ready

And tonight in honor of our French guests we shall be having a book

in your family

You know Thomas we also have several fascinating projects

one of them involves the so-called rubber tree from the carrie

The other townhouses

What unearns you think you are doing?

You will go up tomorrow

You will take off this dress and you will see your duties in the timing

Don't you hear me?

Go!

Excuse me

Excuse me

No, well they told me looks to not run in the Randolph family

But dear lord you give lie to that

Your breathtaking

My name is your name

It's Harriet

Harriet Randolph

Well I am William Alexander at your service

My name is Gordon

Your service

My name is Gordon you to dinner

I'm afraid that I have been excused this evening

as I am recovering from a bit of a fever

Perhaps you will allow me to spend some time in your company tomorrow

That would be most agreeable to it

Tomorrow then

You

New York and London

And then on to France

Along the C-Paris and the Sun

Probably Vufrances

Mar-Mous-Arn?

We

The Deepa

My man

And my mother taught me

Envy her European travels

I can only take you as far as our home in Philadelphia

Well that would be enough William

That would be so exciting

I can show you where your grandfather and all the other great

Patriots formed our government and rang the bell of freedom

What is it Harriet?

I would love to go

I would love to

You

He's so wonderful

I'm so sweet

And he's already mentioned that he wants to take me to Philadelphia with him

Does he know who you are?

Mama

This is my chance to have the life I want

And why is it that you want a home?

A family

A chance in this world to be free

He is a DuPont, he's a man of means

And I'm the daughter of the president

Am I not deserving of some of the things that freedom brings?

You are his child Harriet

You will never be his daughter

Mother

Please

The way you will be treated in this world has already been decided by the color of your skin

You must never deny who you are

Even though who we are began with a crime

And most of us would do anything to escape it

I'm sorry

Sorry I've not spent very much time here during your visit

Martha and I are having crop failures at edge here

Quite all right

I've been spending my time quite nicely thanks to your daughter

She's wonderful

Which one?

Virginia

Harriet

I'm infatuated with her

Harriet

I don't have a daughter Harriet

Of course you do sir

The one with the chestnut hair

The beautiful blue eyes the one I met at our rifle party

The one wearing the lilac dress?

Yes sir

I'm afraid I'm falling in love with her

She knows French poetry music she's divine

That's Harriet Hemings

He's one of our slaves you imbecile

But she looks

Surely I've noticed Montagello is crawling with white slaves

Investment from me and gunpowder

No, no, no

Education is designed to propel mankind forward

Gunpowder is designed to blow us all the hair

So it's when building new roads and cities

Do open up the west-eyed frontier

People will need gunpowder

And scientists and surveys

Artisans to build each new hamlet and educators and doctors

But not weapons and explosives

Sweet, sweet

Now it becomes clear

Thomas

Don't you see what's happening?

You invited me here to invest in your university

And you came here because you wanted me to put money into your gunpowder company

It is priceless, sir

We are beggars both

We

Our relationship is worth far more than that

Forgive me, dear man

No, no

Forgive me, my, my beggar friend

White women do not work in the kitchen

How dare you pass yourself off as a rando

How dare you pass yourself off as white

How dare you? How dare you?

Get your foot off me, nigga

Who dare you?

I said stop it!

Master William, you will never treat my children this way in my home

Do you understand me, Mr. Bacon?

Yes, Miss Salah

Will you escort this boy off the road and back to his family?

Let's go, son

And you get cleaned up

I'm not a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

I'm a real man

Please forgive me

I am more than embarrassed by his behavior

He had no right to deal with your servant in that manner

No, it is no reflection on you, man, any?

You, man, any?

And besides, might serve to teach that young man

A measure of respect

Uncle, Liza, me, de la Repobic

Of course

Okay

Well, you did well to defend your sister, young man

Thank you, son

I have it

You all right?

Yes, sir

Sometimes

We are hurt because of what we do not say because we fail to tell the truth

And what truth are you talking about, Pa?

I know

I know you are

worried

You are afraid I'm going to die

And if you were alone and overwhelmed

You are strong, shall we?

You are strong and I've come to depend on your strength

We shall sail our bark with

With hope in the head

Leaving fear far and awake

We shall be fine

Now, I must go to the stable

Yes, I must go to the stable

I'm an old man now, Sally, but a younger one on horseback

Thank you

until the gravity of his dead became a harsh reality.

Everything from our joinery has gone for nearly $50.

The Campeche chairs, the speed press, the revolving bookcase, everything.

We can only hope our French belongings will compensate for that loss.

The assessors from Philadelphia are in the front hallway.

They will settle a sum for the European paintings and the maps.

European maps, not my maps of this country.

They ought to be left to the university along with my papers and drawings.

Oh, Sally.

The clocks.

They'll be so too, Tom.

They are here from Washington for the books.

Papa?

The resident James Madison authorized the purchase of Thomas' collection of books

to replace those destroyed when the British burned the National Library in 1812.

8,000 books.

Books from around the world.

Books he'd owned for decades.

Books Thomas had taught me to read from.

Books I had taught my children and other slaves with.

Oh.

This is now great loss.

Well, my good fortune will be the nation's gain.

Besides, I've read them all twice over.

How much did the government pay for the books, Papa?

That is my private affair, Martha.

Because if it is not over $50,000, then we shall be forced off this plantation.

Forced off, nonsense.

I still own all the equipment and livestock here.

Which is being sold.

And at Verina and Poplar Forest.

Which are more of each to?

You have 152 slaves, Poplar. That is your only valuable commerce now.

Oh.

Now I will not sell myself.

And if you sell 60 of them, you will hold off the bank for six months.

BAMMAN!

And I will not abandon them.

I will tell you.

I will tell you what just happened.

It just happened.

What is happening, Martha?

We are bankrupt.

The bankers cannot bring themselves to face Mr. Jefferson.

They will be financed alone only when they receive the money owed them.

We are $100,000 in debt.

And though it is noble in the face of demise to be uncompromising, Poplar.

We need the money our slaves can provide.

Huh?

Please excuse me.

It is time for my ride.

I am going to have a seat to remember that there was a time when I had hoped for the

emancipation of all of you.

Because nothing is more certain than that one day your people will know freedom.

But I have failed you in that.

And my Monticello dream has failed too because it was based on slavery.

Which I have always known in my heart was an iniquity.

But I did nothing because I was afraid and complacent.

And that has brought us all to this painful moment.

We have all been overwhelmed by misfortune.

Our plantation no longer supports us.

My credit is now on Monticello and all of you.

And...

And...

I am afraid you will all be sold.

And I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

But...

We have families all be Visit.

Where they next be your friends, Mr.

Paul.

They call to them.

They call usOL

We're going to get two.

Let me hear it.

You're okay.

You're okay.

You're okay.

There, here to see you, Thomas.

Oh, sure.

You are leaving now.

Well, I have something for you here.

Sally, would you ask Mr. Bacon to escort them to the stage at Charlottesville?

I want them seen after properly.

No, Harriet. It's for you.

You are a smart, prideful girl, Harriet.

And I don't like your mother. I know you were farewell.

Oh, Beverly.

Beverly.

Would you do me the honor of playing for me one last time?

Oh, you're okay.

I'm sorry.

Harriet went to Philadelphia and Beverly to Washington.

I knew that they would both pass, and that I would never hear from them again.

And so, in my 50th year, I began to question my legacy.

Three children gone, all masquerading as white.

But then, a passionate wish I made long ago was unexpectedly fulfilled.

I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.

I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.

I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.

I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.

I was so happy that I was a little bit nervous.

Hello, mama.

Hello.

It's Tom.

Tom Hamming's come home.

When I heard about Mr. Jefferson's troubles,

I just had to come.

Jemima and I could not have thought of you being sold or dispossessed.

Jemima? It's my wife.

I've been married for 20 years.

You have ten grandchildren to meet.

Oh, Tom.

20 years.

I want you to come home with me, Mama.

I've come to ask Mr. Jefferson if we might...

I come to my pechales.

Mr. Jefferson, this is...

Tom Woodson of Ohio.

Woodson.

I have Woodson cousins in Green-Bryer County, Virginia.

You have the time, sir.

Mr. President?

The time. Do you have the time?

Well, that is a handsome watch.

Now, I happen to have a fob,

which belonged to a watch which I misplaced years ago.

I hope you can find some use for it.

Well, I thank you.

Mr. Jefferson.

Well...

Well...

This is my own, Tom.

We hemming through as much as bottom on a cello as the jackpot.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

We hemming through as much as bottom on a cello as the jackpot.

I cannot leave you.

I cannot leave him.

I know that now, mama.

My own friend and adversary,

President Adams is also of the view

that this is the best summer that he will call.

You know, it hasn't done our garden too much good.

No, most things have suffered this year.

They'll come back up.

They always do.

Come on.

They have foreclosed.

The auction is set for next month.

They've lost at Chella.

Come on.

They have foreclosed.

The auction is set for next month.

They've lost at Chella.

The auction is set for next month.

They've lost at the auction.

Make sure the starlet is as we discuss.

Yes.

It's all right, Mother.

It's all right.

Sorry.

Fuck you for me.

I never told you enough.

Well, I've always loved you.

You come home sweet darling.

Is it the fourth?

Yes.

President Thomas Jefferson died July 4, 1826,

on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

As my mother did it,

He's been as generous as he could for a man in such debt.

Our lives are a complete pretense.

He's like a ducking.

No inheritance, no bequifs.

Only instructions regarding five slaves he could afford to free.

Madison and Estin are among men.

You are not mentioned in the will.

However, your name does appear on the slave inventory list,

which I could overlook as I'm certain he would want your family together,

if at all possible.

Did you think he would provide for you?

He did not provide for me or his grandchildren.

I have served my father with as much fidelity as I could have served my God.

And for the rest of my days, I will preserve his legacy and his genius.

And I will protect him from...

Look at me when I speak to you.

No. You look at me.

What do you see?

Family, I'm your aunt, Martha.

I'm your mother's sister.

We have the same blood.

You can't deny me.

And you can't sell me.

Because years before Thomas died.

He gave me this.

I've been free since Paris.

Then you are a fool.

Your father once told me something that you said.

That slavery is wrong.

That human beings should have the right to be where they want to.

I've always wanted to be here, Martha.

If I took my freedom, it would have meant I had to leave Virginia.

But I would never.

I would never have left your father.

Here we are.

We are both displaced.

Where will you go?

I shall go to live with my Ellen and her family.

And you?

I will stay here and be with my sons.

Yes.

I must entrust my story to my children now.

So perhaps they will pass down the history of who they are and how they came to be.

The world is now in the world.

And I will stay here and have a great day.

I will stay here and have a great day.

I will stay here and have a great day.

I will stay here and have a great day.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
