00:00:25Civil war looms over a divided America.
00:00:28The northern states aim to preserve the Union and end slavery, while the southern states rely on slavery as their
00:00:36economic bedrock.
00:00:38This division leads states to secede from the Union, starting with South Carolina, followed swiftly by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia,
00:00:47Louisiana, and Texas.
00:00:50Virginia's fate ends in the balance.
00:00:52Abraham Lincoln, newly elected president of the United States, resides in the White House, while Jefferson Davis, the soon-to
00:01:02-be-elected president of the Confederacy, will come to reside in the Gray House.
00:01:07This story is inspired by historical events.
00:01:57Let's go.
00:01:59Let's go.
00:02:00Let's go.
00:02:03Let's go.
00:02:03Let's go.
00:02:03Let's go.
00:02:04All right, let's go.
00:02:04Passport and paper.
00:02:04Why?
00:02:05What's back on my passport?
00:02:07I told you.
00:02:08No paper, no paper.
00:02:09Pounds.
00:02:11Four kicks.
00:02:15All right, who's there?
00:02:17Masses on this?
00:02:18Yes, sir.
00:02:20Yes, it's mine.
00:02:22We're gonna pick the paper.
00:02:24Get on your way.
00:02:26Cheers!
00:02:27Go!
00:02:34You all right, Mom?
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:41That's your pass. Joggle drop.
00:02:45I'm free.
00:02:46Let's see your papers.
00:02:51Are you deaf? I asked you a question.
00:02:55Answer me!
00:02:56Don't need to be so harsh with the lad. She seems sickly.
00:02:59You got a license to pay on the street, mister?
00:03:01Aye. Fresh and crisp for the county clerk.
00:03:03Would you like to keep me?
00:03:06You can't have undocumented niggas gallivanting around rich men.
00:03:09Send your mission papers.
00:03:11So let's see them.
00:03:13Hm. Yeah, they is.
00:03:20Can't read this.
00:03:21Hm. Well, I'll read it to you.
00:03:24If you don't know how.
00:03:34Hey!
00:03:35We need the slave patrols here.
00:03:37Couple of bucks busted out of the devil's half-acre.
00:03:40Bullies got their hands and we're hunting them down the river.
00:03:43Come on.
00:03:44We gotta catch up.
00:03:45Where'd she go?
00:03:47Don't know.
00:03:49We gotta hurry, boss. Let's go.
00:03:52Move!
00:03:52Move!
00:03:53This is what's just there, Donald.
00:03:55Good evening.
00:03:55Good evening.
00:03:56Good evening.
00:03:57Good evening.
00:03:58You see Donald?
00:03:59No.
00:04:01No.
00:04:16Whoa there!
00:04:17Whoa!
00:04:25Welcome to the Van Luce.
00:04:28Good evening, man.
00:04:29Step right on in there, right on in.
00:04:31Welcome to the Van Luce.
00:04:38Now, whatever Lincoln may prepare,
00:04:40Cylanoid baboons are in the pocket of a crackpot abolitionist.
00:04:44Not to mention a wide-eyed free-state acolyte.
00:04:47Well, if Virginia should choose to secede,
00:04:50let's hope my Maryland will follow, huh?
00:04:53Oh, how do you do, Miss Van Luce?
00:04:55Evening.
00:04:57Well, hello there.
00:04:59So lovely you could come.
00:05:01Thank you so much.
00:05:02Yes.
00:05:04Evening, Governor White.
00:05:05Now, Miss Van Luce,
00:05:07what the Republicans intend is to start the South Academy
00:05:10and legislate our entire way of life out of existence.
00:05:13Surely, Governor White, that's because it's based on slavery.
00:05:17Our southern states clothe the world, Miss Bremer,
00:05:20rich and poor alike, and are justly paid for it.
00:05:24Our sea island cotton is universally sought after.
00:05:27As my father says, your Scandinavia is no exception.
00:05:32Ah, no slaves, no cotton.
00:05:34No cotton, no wealth.
00:05:35No wealth, no progress.
00:05:38Quote Iraq demonstratum.
00:05:40Envy, Miss Bremer, envy.
00:05:42That's all it is.
00:05:43Just because the North is unable to grow a simple,
00:05:46measly stalk of cotton,
00:05:48envy will tear this country apart.
00:05:51Surely, Mr. Lincoln,
00:05:52manly opposes the extension of slavery.
00:05:54Or am I...
00:05:55Mr. Lincoln is a duke, or dishonest, or both.
00:05:59I wouldn't waste a belch in his direction.
00:06:01And now, gentlemen, Miss Bremer has traveled to Richmond
00:06:06all the way from Scandinavia.
00:06:09My mind.
00:06:10She's familiarized herself with our customs
00:06:13and southern hospitality,
00:06:15so I'm sure you'll forgive me if I scoop her up
00:06:18and introduce her to some other aspects of our local...
00:06:21Go on in here.
00:06:22Go on in here.
00:06:24Gentlemen, please remember,
00:06:26general topics of conversation are
00:06:28the order of the evening.
00:06:30Oh, Miss Van Loo, we will speak of nothing
00:06:31but the delightfulness of your garland.
00:06:34That's right.
00:06:37Come on.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:39Come on.
00:06:41Give her down.
00:06:43Give her.
00:06:44Come on.
00:06:48Spread my hand.
00:06:49Come on.
00:06:50Seriously, Mrs. Van Loo,
00:06:51are all your guests at this festivity
00:06:53in favor of slavery?
00:06:55Nothing quite so simple as that.
00:06:58Some are quite advanced, my dear,
00:07:01as you will see.
00:07:03And call me Eliza.
00:07:05William.
00:07:06William.
00:07:08Kindly see to it
00:07:09that certain liquid refreshments
00:07:12are served on the periphery of the room.
00:07:15The gentleman immediately behind you
00:07:17could do with a slight hiatus
00:07:20in their libation.
00:07:22Yes, ma'am.
00:07:24Oh, Mr. Broadnax,
00:07:26may I introduce
00:07:28Ms. Frederica Bremer
00:07:30of Sweden.
00:07:32Well, how do you do?
00:07:33Frederica,
00:07:34this is
00:07:35Mr. Duncan Broadnax,
00:07:38esteemed editor
00:07:39of the Richmond Chronicle newspaper.
00:07:42Welcome to Virginia, Ms. Bremer.
00:07:44Thank you so much.
00:07:45Yes, Ms. Bremer
00:07:46is considered
00:07:47the Harriet Beecher's
00:07:50stow of Europe.
00:07:51Oh.
00:07:52Mm-hmm.
00:07:53Although her write-in
00:07:54deals not with
00:07:55Negro affairs,
00:07:56but the plight of women.
00:07:58She advocates
00:07:59for the right of women
00:08:00to vote.
00:08:01Indeed.
00:08:02We closed off.
00:08:03My house gets real legal.
00:08:11They found their sin.
00:08:12Release the dog!
00:08:19Oh, God!
00:08:33Goddammit!
00:08:34Oh!
00:08:35Oh!
00:08:36Oh, no better.
00:08:38Get him off!
00:08:39Some bastard's on fire.
00:08:41What's he gone for?
00:08:48I'm going to put them both out.
00:08:54And you know what those runaway slaves?
00:08:56They're coming out of your pain.
00:08:57Give me that.
00:08:58Come on.
00:08:59Out of your pain.
00:09:04We'll pick up trash on the other side.
00:09:19It seems to be you'll murder a thief and a freed woman.
00:09:23My paper's got tore up.
00:09:25You saw it.
00:09:26I cannot be certain what these are.
00:09:29Please, son.
00:09:30Help me.
00:09:32I'm not much for eating any better, lass.
00:09:36Tape me up to Churchill.
00:09:39If they lose a pay, you are a reward.
00:09:43Churchill?
00:09:45The Van Luz?
00:09:48That's too risky.
00:09:50They regale in all the Richmond's who be the whos there tonight.
00:09:53No, sir.
00:09:53You see, there's no risk at all.
00:09:55If the Van Luz don't pay you, turn me over to Bully Lumpkin.
00:09:59Now, you know he pay a reward.
00:10:02Either way, I'm walking cash money, sir.
00:10:08I'll show you from around here.
00:10:10You don't think like any other...
00:10:11Nick or girl?
00:10:13Well, sir.
00:10:15I assure you I was born and raised here.
00:10:17Enrichment.
00:10:20Come on.
00:10:22Come.
00:10:23Come.
00:10:41Mr. Hampton Arsenault, welcome.
00:10:45Well, Mrs. Van Luz.
00:10:47A splendid evening has now elevated itself into a perfect one.
00:10:52Oh, I'm afraid that I quite undeserved compliment.
00:10:55Where is your lovely daughter buried under a throng of admirers, no doubt?
00:10:59And here I was, lulled into thinking it was my repartee that had drawn you here.
00:11:07Don't despair.
00:11:09Elizabeth will be down shortly.
00:11:13Good 나타�anary.
00:11:16Love you.
00:11:27Look at me.
00:11:29Come.
00:11:29Bye.
00:11:31Come.
00:11:32Come.
00:11:34Come.
00:11:35Come.
00:11:37Come.
00:11:38Come.
00:11:39Come.
00:11:40Come.
00:11:41Scoot, scoot, little chickens.
00:11:43It's time for bed.
00:11:45I'm going to sprinkle some paradise for your dreams.
00:11:48That's my good girls.
00:12:08The longer you stare, the more fault you'll find.
00:12:12I speak from experience.
00:12:16Your presence is required downstairs.
00:12:20Tonight's celebration was not my idea.
00:12:25Yet, you exhausted every purveyor of fine apparel in Richmond to dress for it.
00:12:32For those who came to gawk at an old maid.
00:12:34Oh, now, don't presume they came on your account, young lady.
00:12:41And if gawkers there be, we must not disappoint.
00:12:46I'll dispend a swelter an evening cooped up in a cage of corsets and hoops.
00:12:51Ah, she'll have to steer you clear of our guest, Miss Frederica Bremer.
00:12:56She'll convince you to start parading around at britches.
00:13:01Bloomer's mother, not britches.
00:13:03Well, can't say as I see much difference.
00:13:12Has he come?
00:13:15Hmm.
00:13:17Of whom are we speaking?
00:13:18Mother.
00:13:20Mr. Hampton, our snow has arrived and inquired as to your wereval.
00:13:25However, well, now, he's so much in demand.
00:13:32If you don't intend to come downstairs, I suppose I shall have to refer him to one of his many
00:13:37other admirers.
00:13:41I don't know why I insisted on greeting.
00:13:44I'll look as though I'm coming down with the ague.
00:13:46Elizabeth, the Van Loon never quails before the summons to battle.
00:13:51Hmm.
00:14:01Uh, Tappo, go get me that lightning tape over there.
00:14:05Yes, Uncle Shem.
00:14:06Right away.
00:14:10Floating from the west.
00:14:11Look like gonna rain on a party.
00:14:13Yeah, look like God's got his own fireworks of mine tonight.
00:14:16Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on, go, Tappo, come on.
00:14:21Give me that light.
00:14:23Uncle Shem.
00:14:23Hmm?
00:14:24Mrs. Van Loon said you ain't supposed to be climbing ladders.
00:14:28Yes, but you're right.
00:14:29Go on, you climb, I'll hold.
00:14:42Are you expecting company?
00:14:43No, we ain't.
00:14:45What's he doing here?
00:14:52Oh, take a man.
00:14:55The Van Loon's weren't expecting a delivery tonight.
00:15:00What happened to the delivery?
00:15:01I don't think any of you were expecting.
00:15:06She said she belongs here.
00:15:11Oh, Uncle Isham.
00:15:13No, I don't.
00:15:15Mary Jane.
00:15:19See you again.
00:15:20Okay, I got it.
00:15:22Hang on.
00:15:23Easy, easy, easy.
00:15:25Easy.
00:15:26Take a side.
00:15:27Take a side.
00:15:30That's Mary Jane.
00:15:32Your cousin.
00:15:33You know, we're in Africa.
00:15:34Now she's back.
00:15:35No fooling.
00:15:36Yeah.
00:15:37We're gonna tell Miss Liza and Miss Lizzie.
00:15:39No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:40Um, we'll tell them in the morning, not tonight.
00:15:45It'll be a surprise.
00:15:54Maureen, how long will you and John be residing here with your in-laws?
00:15:59Oh, well.
00:16:00It's bad enough my girls now must endure the hospitality of my husband's peculiar family
00:16:06until the remodel of our barn of a home is complete.
00:16:09Now there's the burden of this gathering of all the available men in Richmond for my sister-in-law
00:16:15under the guise of patriotism.
00:16:18As well as points further south.
00:16:22Oh, I'm the delightful and very handsome Mr. Hampton Arsenal.
00:16:29Oh, yes.
00:16:31Now, had I known Norlene's gentleman was sober coming, I would have endeavored to make a sojourn there.
00:16:37No, right.
00:16:38No, right.
00:16:39Oh, before I married John, of course.
00:16:41In the days of my availability.
00:16:44Oh, the Van Loo certainly spared no expense.
00:16:46Well, heaven knows they can't afford it.
00:16:49Well, of course they can.
00:16:50Oh, it does appear my desperate Lizzie's last opportunity to be plucked out of the vine.
00:16:58I heard she had a beau who died tragically.
00:17:01No.
00:17:12Pity.
00:17:13I believe men are more drawn to a widow than a spinster,
00:17:16knowing someone once deemed a lady worthy of a proposal.
00:17:22Oh, Miss Elizabeth.
00:17:25For heaven's sake, she's a lovely girl.
00:17:27My sister-in-law has not been a girl for a good many years now.
00:17:40Around your sister, I feel like a weed in a garden of roses.
00:17:44Congressman.
00:17:45Miss Van Loo.
00:17:47Mr. Webster?
00:17:48If she would have noticed me at all, it would be to pluck me out.
00:17:50Confidence, my friend, confidence.
00:17:55Miss Elizabeth?
00:17:56Erasmus.
00:17:59Miss Elizabeth.
00:18:02Suddenly the whole evening is brightened.
00:18:04Did the service bring more candles?
00:18:07Oh, my, my, sir, you give me great calls for concern.
00:18:10They say the onset of blindness is preceded by sudden flashes of light.
00:18:15Oh, is that what they say?
00:18:17Well, they also say that blindness is the principal attribute of heartfelt devotion.
00:18:21If so, then...
00:18:25Well, it's an honor that you thought to finally include us in your busy peregrinations.
00:18:32Oh, Hampton cannot resist any soiree which boasts both a floor and a roof.
00:18:37Oh, is that right?
00:18:38My dear Obi-Wise, be quiet the warrior, I see.
00:18:42I stand Virginia proud.
00:18:45Let's just say you'd do better to dress up for battle less than to read your Bible more.
00:18:49You must be prepared for northern aggressors.
00:18:51Well, I doubt they'll attack tonight.
00:18:55Our United States democracy is the only one in existence on this entire planet.
00:19:00Surely you do not wish to secede from that.
00:19:03You'll excuse us, there's something I'm going to show, Miss Van Loo.
00:19:06Of course.
00:19:16Well, behold, the glories of a northern education.
00:19:19The woman's a walking pamphlet.
00:19:21She's in Suffolk.
00:19:22She is.
00:19:23You know, under other circumstances, a good old-fashioned spanking would be an order.
00:19:29It may also behove you and your Governor Daddy to refresh your grasp of our American Constitution.
00:19:36You should familiarize yourself with the sovereign rights of our beloved commonwealth.
00:19:40Oh, like your right to dress up in that dandified, made-up uniform?
00:19:45There comes a time, sir, when insults of a certain order demand satisfaction.
00:19:51Are you challenging me, Mr. Wise?
00:19:53Honor must be defended with action.
00:19:55You have faced a duel in pistol before.
00:19:58Well, this is not your quarrel, Mr. Booth.
00:20:01Obie's jewels are more regular than the train to Fredericksburg.
00:20:06And as you can see, he has never been derailed.
00:20:10You, man, you're like a couple of fighting game cocks.
00:20:13My friend Charmaine here would appreciate if you put some of that masculine energy into a waltz.
00:20:20Entraged.
00:20:21Congressman.
00:20:22Lovely.
00:20:23So you're from Weston?
00:20:24That's right.
00:20:26There you go.
00:20:27Stokely.
00:20:28Me?
00:20:29Mm-hmm.
00:20:30Come on, John.
00:20:30Evening.
00:20:33I suppose I should think twice before speaking my mind.
00:20:37Whatever will you think of me?
00:20:39More than having dad to do so.
00:20:41Now, as I have failed to entice you to my most southern homeland, I've brought a bit of our
00:20:45Cajun country to you.
00:20:50Cajun country to me.
00:20:53Cajun country to me.
00:20:54No, no, no, children, get on over there.
00:20:56No, no, get on back here.
00:20:57Get on back here.
00:20:58Get on that thing.
00:20:59He's looking at you like you're a piece of bacon.
00:21:02And on our last visit, you declared your desire to see an alligator.
00:21:06Meet Antoine.
00:21:09Mr. Austen, you are incorrigible.
00:21:13This is quite ridiculous.
00:21:16Well, indeed.
00:21:17Ridiculousness is our lot.
00:21:18It's ridiculous when we reveal our true selves, casting all to the wings.
00:21:23Possessions, self-esteem, reputation.
00:21:25Risking everything from Mother.
00:21:27We'll walk you the moment to listen to that.
00:21:30And when that is denied us, don't we anger at the treasure bar like Antoine here?
00:21:35What is going on out here?
00:21:39Is that a, uh...
00:21:42An alligator?
00:21:44Yes, Mother, that's an alligator.
00:21:48All right.
00:21:50Oh.
00:21:51Caroline.
00:21:52Caroline.
00:21:53Bring those children inside right now.
00:21:55Yes, ma'am.
00:21:56And make them stay there.
00:21:57Yes, ma'am.
00:21:57Defy me again.
00:21:59You shall see me spit fire.
00:22:00You are the girl.
00:22:01Come on.
00:22:04Everyone.
00:22:06Everyone.
00:22:07Our zoological interlude has ended.
00:22:11Dancing and refreshments shall resume.
00:22:17See?
00:22:18How can I compete with monstrous reptiles as party gifts?
00:22:22Oh, fuck up, old boy.
00:22:23Nothing in matters of love, or life for that matter, is certain.
00:22:30You have revealed yourself as a full-blooded romantic.
00:22:36Oh.
00:22:37Indeed I am, Miss Vendor.
00:22:40Indeed I am.
00:22:44In public, Mr. Osney?
00:22:47This is my mother's house.
00:22:49Yes.
00:22:49Yes, yes, yes.
00:22:50We must abide by a conventional court.
00:22:52I am not one for avoidable scandals,
00:22:55as I find myself to be the object of much gossip already.
00:23:00Oh, very wise of you, Miss Vendor.
00:23:03We must avoid a scandal at all costs.
00:23:06shh, shh, shh, snosh.
00:23:51Now you're going to make the two-back beast with Ole Miss Wise's gal, huh?
00:23:55Boy, keep this up and someday, Mr. Kuch is going to turn you into a unit.
00:24:00What choice I got?
00:24:02Every time I get close to some sweet thing, the damn governor going to turn around and sell it?
00:24:07Hey, you got a point there.
00:24:09He's got a point.
00:24:09Go enjoy yourself.
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:12Go.
00:24:12Shh.
00:24:23Well, you certainly cut a dashing figure on stage, Mr. Booth.
00:24:27Well, your Hamlet must have been thrilling.
00:24:32Your audiences seem to think so.
00:24:35There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than I dreamt of in your philosophy.
00:24:42Oh, it was beautiful.
00:24:46Your family has an eye for beauty, Miss Van Loo.
00:24:50And I refer not only to this magnificent darling.
00:24:56Thank you, cancer.
00:25:01Of course, a thespian such as yourself would have an eye for beauty.
00:25:05A roving eye, I hear tell.
00:25:10John, he is such a joker.
00:25:13Aren't you, John?
00:25:14Not that I'm aware of, Laurette.
00:25:20Your father, Mr. Booth, gave the best performance of Hamlet the world has ever seen.
00:25:24I doubt today's lesser talents could ever better it.
00:25:34My husband, being a man of business, is not a true theater aficionado.
00:25:41I doubt.
00:25:44I doubt.
00:25:57I doubt.
00:25:59I doubt.
00:26:00I doubt.
00:26:00I doubt.
00:26:00I doubt.
00:26:01I doubt.
00:26:02I doubt.
00:26:03I doubt.
00:26:05I doubt.
00:26:09I doubt.
00:26:10Come here, come here, come here boy, come here.
00:26:12I got you, I got you, I got you.
00:26:21Good boy.
00:26:55Do you please excuse me?
00:26:56Well, only if you promise to return.
00:26:59I think you better come with me.
00:27:01Come here.
00:27:06Hi, Mr. R. Snow.
00:27:08Evening.
00:27:09Your Louisiana beast is the head of the bow.
00:27:12It appears so, Miss Van Lucen, quite delighted.
00:27:14Everybody thought your gift was wonderfully Dashing Hampton.
00:27:18Shall we?
00:27:21Of course.
00:27:25Down there, right there.
00:27:31How do, ma'am?
00:27:32Bull and Lumpkin.
00:27:33This is Deputy Parker, the slave patrol.
00:27:35Sorry to disturb your festivities, but we come here on blood tracks leading right up here.
00:27:40Well, I haven't seen anything unusual.
00:27:43Certainly nothing so distressing.
00:27:45Isham, have you?
00:27:47No, ma'am.
00:27:49My dogs don't lie.
00:27:51That's the truth, ma'am.
00:27:52Well, perhaps not.
00:27:53But right now, it appears awfully confused.
00:27:56Can it tell one Negro from another?
00:27:59Ma'am, I do apologize for the inconvenience, but we need to check the stables and outbuildings.
00:28:03Well, you may say that I will not have the bloodthirsty house in danger in my people.
00:28:09But we and Lumpkin ask him all of us to hide.
00:28:11What is this commotion?
00:28:13Well, now my mother's been summoned.
00:28:15Embarrass her in public, and she will have bullheads on the stick.
00:28:19Uh-oh, he wouldn't do that.
00:28:24Tie these excitable mongrels to a tree and we'll all take a nice, quiet look around.
00:28:29Shall we?
00:28:30No need to accompany us, ma'am.
00:28:32You best go on back to your party.
00:28:34Oh, I wouldn't dream of it.
00:28:36Harboring fugitives is a criminal offense.
00:28:38We must be assured our safety has not been compromised.
00:28:43Don't tell them what kind of river you're gonna find and slip around here in the dark.
00:28:48Go on.
00:28:48Get it.
00:29:09Gentlemen.
00:29:10Call down your tongue.
00:29:12Gentlemen.
00:29:17Damn you, kid.
00:29:18Tapper?
00:29:19Did you see anybody run in here?
00:29:21No, ma'am.
00:29:23I ain't seen nothing.
00:29:33All bones on something.
00:29:35We got it. We can shine.
00:29:37Oh.
00:29:38Mary Jane, I told you to stay in bed.
00:29:41She been ill.
00:29:42She was at the train station.
00:29:43Said she was free.
00:29:44Show me your papers.
00:29:45What you told up, sir, before you see that was a pass, I was free to go walking around
00:29:50because Miss Eliza gives me a pass.
00:29:52Didn't you, ma'am?
00:29:53Uh, yes.
00:29:55Mary Jane enjoys watching the trains.
00:29:59Mm-hmm.
00:30:00And as I was walking back, I see this boy cut up through the woods.
00:30:03And as he was running, he tried this.
00:30:05God damn it.
00:30:07She threw him off.
00:30:08I don't speak to all the sense.
00:30:09That followed you, you stupid mucket.
00:30:12Mary Jane!
00:30:18You saw that, deputy.
00:30:21What are you gonna do about it?
00:30:25It's a charge.
00:30:27There'll be no killing at my mother's ball.
00:30:30But you're gonna waste.
00:30:31Come on.
00:30:33Get out of here.
00:30:34I need to learn a lesson.
00:30:38Gentlemen, as I was previously engaged in conversation with the governor, might we move this along?
00:30:47Hmm?
00:30:49Oh my God.
00:30:50I'm so sorry.
00:30:52I've always had it, and you had a lot of roses.
00:30:57If all of these kind babies, I miss you.
00:31:03I told y'all fugitive to run out further down the river, brother.
00:31:12Oh, my God.
00:31:13What just happened?
00:31:16Your change has sacrificed itself for us.
00:31:21What do we do now?
00:31:25We return to the party, resume our polite faces.
00:31:30If we are to do this work and be safe,
00:31:34we must continue to be chameleons.
00:31:38You ladies go to the temple and I take care of our guests.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:46I suggest you return your attention to Mr. Ars now.
00:31:50He's traveled all this way to see you.
00:32:11The chasm of our political differences aside,
00:32:14I loathe the dang-fetted cesspool that is your character.
00:32:18You do not lead Virginia, Governor.
00:32:20You drag her like a drunkard staggers into a ditch.
00:32:23Mr. Clements, you impugn me here in the Vandal Home.
00:32:27I do not frequent brothels, so where else would we meet?
00:32:30You are thusly entirely impugned.
00:32:32This is absolutely intolerable.
00:32:33I will not...
00:32:34Gentlemen, please.
00:32:35I am not the villain and clodpucket who chose this.
00:32:39This is about slavery, no?
00:32:40Certainly not.
00:32:41Before Mr. Sherrod Clements lowered himself to personal effrontery,
00:32:45our biggest quarrel and that of the South
00:32:47hinged upon our sovereign state rights.
00:32:50Someone!
00:32:50Mr. Sherrod Clements!
00:32:52Mother!
00:32:53I fear the neighbors are upon me!
00:32:55Breathe, Mother. Catch your breath!
00:32:56I fear the neighbors are upon me!
00:32:58The state rights to own slaves.
00:33:01That is not what I said.
00:33:04Miss Brammer, I am a Southern lady,
00:33:08Richmond-born and Richmond-bred.
00:33:10Seven of Virginia's sons have served as president.
00:33:14These are my people.
00:33:17And we walk daily in the footsteps of Washington,
00:33:20Jefferson, and Patrick Henry,
00:33:22who in the venerable church across from our door
00:33:25gave voice to the defiant hope of mankind.
00:33:27Give me liberty or give me death.
00:33:31Now, we may argue,
00:33:33as families of heart and passion sometimes do,
00:33:38but you are in grave error to judge us all
00:33:41as cruel and ignorant whipcrackers.
00:33:44Our European ancestors imported their entrenched slavery
00:33:49into this country
00:33:51and planted it into our Southern fields
00:33:53just as surely as they planted the Egyptian cotton
00:33:56and Indian rice,
00:33:57which, I'm sorry to say,
00:33:59relies upon it.
00:34:04Now, three hundred years later,
00:34:07whether one advocates slavery or loathes it,
00:34:10as many Southerners do,
00:34:12the fact remains that it was thrust upon us
00:34:14with neither our knowledge nor consent.
00:34:18Sadly, we were born into it.
00:34:29And you.
00:34:30Shake hands, gentlemen, and be done with this.
00:34:33Governor, the tempest of our times
00:34:35calls for temperate heads
00:34:36if you wish to guide Virginia's fate.
00:34:39And you shall, of course, no doubt,
00:34:41have my support.
00:34:44Appreciated.
00:34:47Goodness gracious.
00:34:49The spectacle has begun.
00:34:51Gentlemen, let's just go outside
00:34:52and enjoy the fireworks.
00:34:55That was masterful.
00:34:57You should be in Congress.
00:34:59How could it be?
00:34:59You don't allow women to vote.
00:35:01Oh, touché, Miss Brammer.
00:35:03You have a point.
00:35:04But it'd be a shame to come all this way
00:35:05and see these beautiful fireworks.
00:35:07Oh!
00:35:11Erasmus was right.
00:35:13That was masterful.
00:35:14But rather exhausting.
00:35:16I thought Obi was going to challenge me to a duel.
00:35:20Well, we're lucky tonight.
00:35:22The storm seems to have passed us by.
00:35:24Although I fear another tempest awaits
00:35:27just beyond the horizon,
00:35:29and will be storming upon us
00:35:30before we know it,
00:35:32I pray to God in heaven
00:35:33we'll be ready for it.
00:35:36By my side, I should be ready for anything.
00:35:40Rocket's red glare,
00:35:42bomb bursting,
00:35:44in the air?
00:35:46Certainly close.
00:35:49Miss Eliza!
00:35:51I'm afraid I must depart,
00:35:52but thank you for a wonderful evening.
00:35:54It's spectacular.
00:35:55Most certainly, Mr. Arsenault.
00:35:57Our pleasure.
00:35:58Until tomorrow?
00:35:59Of course.
00:36:00Good night.
00:36:02John Jr., good night.
00:36:04Mr. Arsenault, I'll see you out.
00:36:10Recovered from your attack of the vapors, Mother?
00:36:14In controversial times,
00:36:16a certain amount of artifice is necessary.
00:36:25Do you think I got carried away inside?
00:36:28Oh, I promise you,
00:36:30most of that went over their head.
00:36:32In my experience,
00:36:34men,
00:36:35watch our mouths
00:36:36very intently,
00:36:38but manage to hear another word
00:36:40part of what we're saying.
00:36:55Terracop!
00:36:56We're leaving.
00:37:02Tengiel.
00:37:02Tengiel.
00:37:03Mrs. Wise will follow later.
00:37:07Mr. Wise,
00:37:09I'd like to offer my hand.
00:37:11And you, my.
00:37:12You dawned tomorrow
00:37:14the cemetery.
00:37:15I shall inform my secretary.
00:37:17Miss Elizabeth urged us
00:37:18to above this course.
00:37:19whilst we were guests
00:37:21in her home.
00:37:22Now we walk
00:37:23the streets of Richmond, sir.
00:37:25You may continue
00:37:26to hide behind
00:37:27Miss Elizabeth's skirts
00:37:28or remedy the situation
00:37:30on the field of honor.
00:37:32Tomorrow, sunrise.
00:37:43Good night,
00:37:44the 4th of July.
00:38:04Gentlemen,
00:38:04your presence here
00:38:05proves you are both
00:38:06men of honor.
00:38:08It is not too late
00:38:08to reconcile.
00:38:10Never.
00:38:11My family has been
00:38:13deeply wrong.
00:38:14The duel shall proceed.
00:38:16So be it.
00:38:30The duel of the wise
00:38:31himself should be shot
00:38:32for what he's done
00:38:33to that boy.
00:38:35Two fools,
00:38:36Judge Webster.
00:38:37Gentlemen,
00:38:38on my signal,
00:38:40you will write
00:38:41your marks,
00:38:42turn and fire.
00:38:45Hold ready,
00:38:46set.
00:38:50in the light.
00:38:53In the light.
00:39:10Oh my shout.
00:39:20The point of honor being settled.
00:39:22You may now dismount, shake hands, and be requisite.
00:39:26I'm not satisfied.
00:39:27Oh, be pleased. You've proven yourself a brave man.
00:39:30The contest, unless the gentleman prove a coward, must continue.
00:39:35Let it shell.
00:39:37Do I still have time for another insult toward you or the governor?
00:39:40Take your pistol. The duel shall resist.
00:39:58God have mercy on you both.
00:40:06All ready, set!
00:40:10I'M GOING TO BE PART OF YOU, NEVER DOES IT.
00:40:11A BED MORE OF YOU, NEVER DOES IT.
00:40:11YEAH!
00:40:12A BED MORE OF YOU, NEVER DOES IT.
00:40:21RUN.
00:40:21YORK!
00:40:21BYE!
00:40:22BYE!
00:40:26BYE!
00:40:34BYE!
00:40:45I can touch my affairs as I see fit.
00:40:48Then why, dear God, did you ever accept my proposal of marriage?
00:40:52I remain here for my daughters only.
00:40:57That car.
00:40:59Look at yourself, mister.
00:41:01You're the one who stuck us here.
00:41:03Listen, you refuse to rely upon slave labor to expedite our deprivations and complete our own home.
00:41:10Don't wish you ever acted if you're the measure of the man I deserve.
00:41:15Oh, Mr. Junior, Lord knows what'll happen if Mrs. Lorette never discovers what we're doing.
00:41:21Our Underground Railroad won't be so underground anymore.
00:41:27Why did we have no warning about that runaway?
00:41:30Well, I do not know.
00:41:33The red lamp was lit.
00:41:35After last night's fiasco, we need to be finished with all this.
00:41:44Don't you ever disrespect me like that again.
00:41:46Are you threatening me, John?
00:41:48I can't help it if men find me appealing.
00:41:58We hope you have a safe journey back to your homeland, Miss Bremer.
00:42:02Thank you ever so, Madam Malou.
00:42:04You may visit me next time.
00:42:18I'm curious.
00:42:19Is it because you still have slaves the reason you speak so expressively to defend it?
00:42:23Well, I do not justify nor defend it.
00:42:26I was merely trying to explain why it exists.
00:42:29We were born in slavery in Europe 13 years ago.
00:42:33It's complicated, Miss Bremer.
00:42:36Pity us, should you choose.
00:42:38Pray for us if you're willing.
00:42:40But as a foreigner with no blood at stake in our noble union,
00:42:44you are in no position to judge us.
00:42:46You have no idea what my family and many others with similar beliefs do for these poor creatures.
00:42:55Creatures?
00:42:56Are they not our fellow human beings?
00:43:01Forgive me.
00:43:02I'm grateful for hospitality and sorry to upset you so.
00:43:05I fear it's a defect of my character.
00:43:06I always speak my mind.
00:43:09I, too, am often told that is my problem.
00:43:13Good day.
00:43:14Your train awaits.
00:43:15Godspeed.
00:43:25All right.
00:43:26Let's go see about Mary Jane.
00:43:29So there you are.
00:43:31I have to go and beat on this girl, huh?
00:43:32She had it coming.
00:43:33Well, it gave her a tap, then she slapped her back.
00:43:36Right in front of God and everybody.
00:43:37And who does she belong to?
00:43:38The Van Loo.
00:43:40You are an imbecile, Pop.
00:43:42You really are.
00:43:44You took her from the party last night.
00:43:46Mrs. Van Loo herself ordered the arrest.
00:43:50Come on, girl.
00:43:53You clean her up.
00:43:54You clean her up.
00:43:55Bad chance of that.
00:44:11Oh, Mr. Elizabeth.
00:44:13Mr. Van Loo, good morning.
00:44:37Good morning.
00:44:41Please.
00:44:43Yes, it must be very unsavory for you to come down here like this.
00:44:46I take it John Jr. was not available to come himself.
00:44:48No.
00:44:49Unfortunately, he's turning to other pressing matters.
00:44:52I understand.
00:44:52If I knew this poor ranch belonged to you, I would have dismissed this case entirely.
00:44:56No, no.
00:44:57I insisted, Deputy Park arrest her.
00:44:59Save gold calls for hanging on the sorting white man.
00:45:03Thank you, Mr. Park.
00:45:07When we get home, the girl will get the whooping she deserves.
00:45:11I'm sure she will.
00:45:13Naturally, we will pay the fine.
00:45:15Oh, please put your money away, Mrs. Van Loo, please.
00:45:18Ten dollars is waived as a token of our respect.
00:45:20And my personal way of saying thank you for what a wonderful gala you put on last evening.
00:45:25I mean, it was the social event of the season.
00:45:29Thank you most kindly.
00:45:30Please.
00:45:40I'll be in the carriage.
00:45:42A shame that this court between Obie Wise and Congressman Clements could not have ended there.
00:45:52I thought the hostilities had been averted.
00:45:55Only postponed, I'm afraid of all.
00:45:58Oh, excuse my indiscretion.
00:46:00I thought you knew.
00:46:02Obie enlisted your friend, Mr. Orson, as his second.
00:46:09Duels are against the law, Mr. Reuse.
00:46:12As a city constable, you are duty-bound to put a stop to him.
00:46:16But not everybody obeys the law now, do they, huh?
00:46:22Miss Van Loo?
00:46:31Come on, good.
00:46:40Go, Wren.
00:46:41Let's go.
00:46:42I have matters to attend to.
00:46:45Hurry up.
00:46:48Eyes straight ahead.
00:46:50There's still people watching.
00:46:53Isham.
00:46:54Help, help.
00:47:04Hey!
00:47:05What?
00:47:06Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:07I'm sorry.
00:47:09Watch the shop.
00:47:10Excuse me.
00:47:11Sorry.
00:47:12All right.
00:47:13Let's go.
00:47:14Let's go.
00:47:15Let's go.
00:47:15Let's go.
00:47:16Let's go.
00:47:17Let's go.
00:47:18Let's go.
00:47:18Let's go.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:19I don't want to see that, boy.
00:47:21Where'd he go?
00:47:23You went that way.
00:47:26Let's go.
00:47:32Sorry.
00:47:33I was hungry.
00:47:35All right.
00:47:36Well, you see, there's this man, and he thinks that I stole something.
00:47:39I didn't steal nothing.
00:47:54You see a boy come by here?
00:47:57No.
00:47:57No.
00:48:00Here you are.
00:48:01Here you are, Miss Claire.
00:48:05Sir, did you trouble you?
00:48:14You got a name, tomboy?
00:48:19Heidi?
00:48:37I ain't never, never seen nothing like this before.
00:48:48You live here.
00:48:51For now, it's saving my money to one day move far away from all this.
00:48:57Looks like you already rich.
00:49:00That's your name.
00:49:01A lot more than I've got now, that's for sure.
00:49:12Listen, honey, I have to go out.
00:49:15Here's something for you.
00:49:17I want you to go across the street, buy yourself a good beefsteak.
00:49:20Get some color back in those cheeks.
00:49:23Hmm?
00:49:24Now listen.
00:49:26It's very important.
00:49:28You see this on the door.
00:49:31You stay scarce a while longer.
00:49:32Do you understand?
00:49:36Yeah.
00:49:37You sure about that?
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:40It's a strange little creature.
00:49:42Let's go.
00:49:44I've got a lot of work to do.
00:49:45Go out the stairs.
00:49:47Out the door.
00:49:48You'll see the butcher right there.
00:49:49No.
00:49:50You're not going in there.
00:49:51Come on.
00:49:52Out you go.
00:49:52Out you go.
00:49:54Senator, you to Benjamin.
00:49:56My name is Stokely Reeves.
00:49:58Governor Wise sent me to welcome you to Richmond.
00:50:00I trust your trip from Washington was a pleasant one.
00:50:03Pleasant enough, Mr. Reeves.
00:50:06Good day, gentlemen.
00:50:08Might any of you be staying on the third floor?
00:50:10Room 317, I believe, just directly above me.
00:50:14Someone wearing what must be hobnail boots is just pacing back and forth throughout the night.
00:50:19I do need my sleep.
00:50:21And it's really quite disturbing.
00:50:23Now, I'm guilty, I'm delighted to say.
00:50:25What if you care for me to intercede?
00:50:27Oh, no.
00:50:29Counselor, thank you.
00:50:30I'll just speak with the bell captain.
00:50:37Thank you, Leo.
00:50:38May I offer you a drink, Senator?
00:50:40Yes.
00:50:46She must be here in room 217.
00:50:48Hell, ma'am, must question the decency of a woman that spends her time in a commercial hotel room alone.
00:50:57Curious.
00:50:58Seems like scurvy or some sort of shipboard fever.
00:51:03You sure she hasn't been to sea?
00:51:05No, sir.
00:51:07No, sir.
00:51:10No, sir.
00:51:10No, sir.
00:51:16How soon before she's back to work?
00:51:19This nigger is malnourished.
00:51:21This is most vexing.
00:51:23I've known your family for years.
00:51:26Not even a chained-up dog deserves to be fed.
00:51:37Oh, I had no idea Dr. Graves had such a tender heart.
00:51:45I wish you told us you were coming back.
00:51:49My return was not easy.
00:51:52You're home now.
00:51:54You rest.
00:51:55We'll take care of you.
00:51:57I thank you very much, Mrs. Eliza.
00:52:00But I've been learning to take care of myself.
00:52:05Yes.
00:52:08Yes, you have.
00:52:11All right.
00:52:14Up we go.
00:52:20Did you know?
00:52:22It was Mary Jane first gave you the name, Tab Hall.
00:52:26For sure?
00:52:27Mm-hmm.
00:52:29Eula!
00:52:30Eula!
00:52:32Oh, Lord, have mercy.
00:52:35Well, now we're serving the servants.
00:52:37Lorette, a sick slave is worthless.
00:52:39I should be sublimely grateful to be treated half as well by this family.
00:52:46And Eula, when you're done with this negrist queen of England, fetch me some tea.
00:52:54Oh, Lord, have mercy.
00:52:55Hey, that was Lorette, John Jr.'s bride, a proud, pure-blooded descendant of the first family of Virginia.
00:53:03Which you'll happily divulge to anyone who's listening.
00:53:08She a witch!
00:53:10Mind your manners, though, son?
00:53:12Yes, I have a question.
00:53:14My son will be begs her pardons.
00:53:16I beg your pardon.
00:53:18I beg your pardon.
00:53:20That's good, son.
00:53:22It's not like they say in the sermons.
00:53:26Those people in Liberia, they don't want us.
00:53:32Just because our skin is the same, it don't make us the same.
00:53:36We're not Africans.
00:53:41What are you, then?
00:53:44I'm an American.
00:53:53Mary Jane, what happened to you over there?
00:54:03I realized who I am
00:54:07and where I belong.
00:54:23Oh, this is Van Loo.
00:54:24Oh.
00:54:25I'm here to call her Miss Elizabeth.
00:54:26She's expecting me.
00:54:27Oh, Mr. Arsnow.
00:54:28It's an already pleasant day.
00:54:29He made even brighter.
00:54:32Lizzie!
00:54:33Were you waiting by the door for Mr. Arsnow's arrival?
00:54:37Oh, wow.
00:54:39Come along, girls.
00:54:40And Lizzie.
00:54:42Do try and rise to the occasion.
00:54:46Come on, let's meet the gold fair.
00:54:48Shall we?
00:54:50Mrs. Vendley.
00:54:53I can see Little Red likes to be the singer of attention.
00:54:57As do we all on occasion.
00:55:00Although I try to be a little more prudent
00:55:02about whose attention I seek anything.
00:55:07I understand it was the jewel that made you late.
00:55:10I hope all involved is safe and sound.
00:55:13Well, thankfully, the undertaking remains undisturbed,
00:55:15but the doctor's services were required for Mr. Clemens.
00:55:18Sheriff?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19Oh, no.
00:55:19It's only the leg, the fleshy part.
00:55:21Shall we go?
00:55:22Our picnic is spoiled.
00:55:33I'll raise you.
00:55:38I'll raise you.
00:56:11You win.
00:56:12What are you grinning about?
00:56:14Will you hold him back?
00:56:16If so, that would be quite annoying.
00:56:20Well, of course it would.
00:56:21I would never dream of attempting such a low trick.
00:56:29Now, shut those doubting eyes.
00:56:31Go on.
00:56:33I'll have a surprise for you.
00:56:37Don't open them until I say it.
00:56:51Hey, Ampton.
00:56:52Shall we?
00:56:56Let us night's events lift us with unfinished business.
00:56:58I agree.
00:57:06You haven't inquired after Antoine.
00:57:09Now, you will be most upset.
00:57:12He's preparing another surprise for you.
00:57:14You're teaching your alligator tricks now?
00:57:16Oh, you see.
00:57:17He's making a great sacrifice for me.
00:57:21Do you give quaint names to all your creatures?
00:57:24Oh, he's named after royalty.
00:57:26Antoine, the best of the burgundy.
00:57:28Well, I had another royal name of mine that had it turn out to be female.
00:57:32Great.
00:57:33What name was that?
00:57:34Beatrice the bitch of Berkshire?
00:57:38The same one with which we christened the newest of my family's ships.
00:57:42Mm-hmm.
00:57:43The SS Elizabeth.
00:58:08Perhaps you can link your name to mine even more closely.
00:58:13Antoine, what are you saying?
00:58:17Oh, Lord.
00:58:19I seem to have plunged into deep waters rather sooner than I planned.
00:58:24Perhaps you're merely testing the waters.
00:58:25Indeed, I am.
00:58:26I'm testing the waters.
00:58:29People who know me say I have sharp edges.
00:58:32I fear you may find them too sharp.
00:58:37Elizabeth, that's a risk I'm willing to take.
00:58:45Hampton, you have thrown me into a quandary.
00:58:49In truth, if you had outright asked me to be your mistress,
00:58:53well, perhaps I would be a massive one.
00:58:58Well.
00:59:00Let's go for a stroll.
00:59:08Hampton, I must admit, I am drawn to you.
00:59:12Indeed, we are very drawn to each other.
00:59:15What?
00:59:16I'm compelled to warn you.
00:59:18I believe we have differences about certain social conventions.
00:59:22Such as?
00:59:26Tell me, why did you consent to service a second this morning in Obie's ridiculous duel?
00:59:33Well, Obie's my friend.
00:59:36A gentleman's natural instinct is to defend his honor.
00:59:39It's what distinguishes a gentleman from the plot.
00:59:42His honor?
00:59:43Oh, his fear of being judged as less of a man.
00:59:47I suppose that's part of it.
00:59:49But even though we may disagree with them, our social conventions are.
00:59:54Well, they're our way of life.
00:59:56No matter how destructive they are?
01:00:00I warned you of my sharp edges.
01:00:04Would you prefer me as a coquettish, conventional southern belle like Lorette,
01:00:09or to play the shrinking violet?
01:00:11Well, would you have me relinquish all my convictions for your sake, Miss Van Lute?
01:00:35That's where the Yankees will come from when it begins.
01:00:39No reasonable person wants war.
01:00:42I pray reason will prevail, even this late in the day.
01:00:45Well, we'll see.
01:00:47But in any union, both parties must be willing to give up some of the things they hold dear.
01:00:52Don't you agree?
01:00:53Well, even at the expense of accepting what is clearly unjust.
01:00:58So, might reason smooth the path to a union between us, do you think?
01:01:04I hope it might.
01:01:07Honestly, there's no one in the world I'd rather be with.
01:01:10But the question is, do you truly want to be with me?
01:01:13And certainly your friends wouldn't approve.
01:01:18I hope you aren't a sole loser.
01:01:23Who says I'd lose?
01:01:26Beloved, a wise girl want to know that as our Norman transgressions increases,
01:01:29we can count in the great state of Louisiana,
01:01:31and look kindly on our beloved state of Virginia, if she secede.
01:01:34Well, I believe at present, the senator is less interested in separation than he is in unity.
01:01:41Compromise is my public position.
01:01:44But privately, I prefer positions that are witnessed at the Shanghai Circus.
01:01:47Well, I have not yet witnessed such things, but I assure you I do apply myself.
01:01:52You enjoy your stay, Senator.
01:01:55Coach will be by in the morning promptly to pick you up for your meeting.
01:01:59I hope you have a good night in your fair shake, get some rest in there, and don't strain yourself.
01:02:03Thank you, Mr. Reefs.
01:02:04God forbid you strain yourself.
01:02:06What might your name be?
01:02:08I haven't introduced myself yet.
01:02:10Clara.
01:02:12Clara.
01:02:13That's from the Latin.
01:02:15For clear and bright.
01:02:17Well, clearly, I have lots to learn from you.
01:02:37With the ideas you have in your head, Mary Jane, you leave Liberia and go back to America, you're a
01:02:43dead woman.
01:02:53Go on, take off them rags, girl.
01:02:54Don't be frightened.
01:02:55You're among friends.
01:02:56And so, yes, ma'am, I don't need to be no bother.
01:02:59No bother?
01:02:59You can't let them wounds fester.
01:03:01What are you doing?
01:03:02You're supposed to be resting.
01:03:03I couldn't sleep.
01:03:05What's your name?
01:03:06Right before the man from Georgia, I busted out a lunkie and slave, Jane.
01:03:10How did you know to come here?
01:03:11Well, my friend Homer, he, uh, he dead now.
01:03:16He's a slave on the dogs, God.
01:03:17He say, y'all, hell, runaways.
01:03:19It's been a life of bread, but I just want to rest.
01:03:22You can rest here.
01:03:23You're safe.
01:03:24We got to get him to fall.
01:03:25That's far too dangerous.
01:03:26What if the slave owners come back?
01:03:28We can't put him in the secret room.
01:03:32We can't.
01:03:33Okay.
01:03:34No thanks necessary.
01:03:37Up and ride.
01:03:38Goodness is its own reward.
01:03:39Light down.
01:03:40I got you.
01:03:41He's squeezing my hand.
01:03:42Look in my eyes.
01:03:43Look.
01:03:43One, two, three.
01:03:46Got you, got you, got you, got you, boy.
01:03:47I got you.
01:03:50Up you upstairs.
01:03:52Come on, come on.
01:03:53Come on, come on.
01:03:53Get up.
01:03:54Come on, son.
01:03:55Get up.
01:03:55Get up.
01:03:59Okay?
01:03:59You'll be safe in here.
01:04:01No one will think to look for you in the house.
01:04:03I hope you're not afraid of the dog.
01:04:05Oh, man.
01:04:06Dogs are not going.
01:04:07Go, go, go, go, go.
01:04:10I'll fit your water and I'll bring you something to eat.
01:04:12You just stay quiet.
01:04:13Remember, there's other people in this house now.
01:04:15Come on. Come on.
01:04:42The lamp was red.
01:04:45You risked our lives.
01:04:47What is the purpose of all of our precautions and complex procedures if they are not respected?
01:05:06The escape was not planned or prepared for. I had no idea.
01:05:12They led slave hunters and their vicious dogs directly to my home.
01:05:17I'm afraid word has spread the church heals the safe haven.
01:05:20It wasn't safe last night.
01:05:23In all these past several years in the underground, never have I been so terrified.
01:05:31You're hidden in the shadows, protecting me.
01:05:34I walk in the light with all the eyes of Richmond upon me, judging me.
01:05:40I can square that right now.
01:05:41No.
01:05:43It is better for me to never know your identity.
01:05:51This is my final run.
01:05:54I'm sorry.
01:05:56I am depleted.
01:05:58I must now think of the safety of my family.
01:06:02My mother.
01:06:05I beg you to reconsider.
01:06:09We are on the brink of a firestorm.
01:06:13Unlike this country has ever seen.
01:06:16State against state.
01:06:18Brother against brother.
01:06:21A loyal patriot like us will be called upon to do even more to preserve our nation.
01:06:27There is no recourse.
01:06:31It will require blood to wash the sin from our lives.
01:06:38Not from me.
01:06:39I've done enough.
01:06:41Find yourself another patriot.
01:06:52If slavery be a sin, it is not ours.
01:06:56It does not rest on our consent for its existence.
01:06:59For slavery was established by decree of Almighty God, sanctioned in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, where we are
01:07:10told it shall exist until the end of time.
01:07:13Yeah.
01:07:14Yeah, baby.
01:07:32Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:07:49Dear Lord, Geoff, who died?
01:07:52We are woefully unprepared for war.
01:08:00The south pokes a hornet's nest and hands you the stick.
01:08:05You must sit face to face with Mr. Lincoln and find a way to avoid war.
01:08:09This federation of secessionists is like a pack of wolves.
01:08:12I can only lead them where they want to go.
01:08:25Gentlemen.
01:08:29Gentlemen, I have been chosen to be the provisional president of the Confederacy.
