00:00:05I'm going to go.
00:00:06Come on.
00:00:06Go.
00:00:18Come on.
00:00:22Go.
00:00:30Go.
00:00:34Go.
00:00:35Go.
00:00:35Oh my God.
00:00:37Oh.
00:00:38Oh.
00:00:39Oh.
00:00:40Oh.
00:00:52Oh.
00:00:53Oh.
00:00:53Oh.
00:00:55Oh.
00:00:56Oh.
00:00:57Oh.
00:00:58Oh.
00:00:58Oh.
00:00:59Oh.
00:01:01Oh, you're going to take it off of me?
00:01:04Oh.
00:01:06Oh.
00:01:07Oh, that's looking good.
00:01:15Oh.
00:01:17Thank goodness you're reading.
00:01:19Yes, I'm feeling better.
00:01:24Mary Jane,
00:01:26when I struck you...
00:01:28Oh, mm-mm.
00:01:29You saved my life.
00:01:30I've been whooped before.
00:01:32I'll be whooped again, probably.
00:01:34But next time...
00:01:35Not so hard.
00:01:37My dear sweet girl, I cannot imagine all you've endured.
00:01:42No.
00:01:44You cannot.
00:01:47But I'm here now.
00:01:49And that's all that matters.
00:01:50Yes.
00:01:52I remember how much my Mary Jane loved my sponge cake.
00:01:56Mmm.
00:01:56I forgot all that matters.
00:01:58Doesn't that look good?
00:01:59I think I'm just going to take that off for myself.
00:02:00No, ma'am.
00:02:01I very much would like some cake.
00:02:04As you can see, nothing's changed with us.
00:02:07Not anything at all.
00:02:14He's in the wall!
00:02:15Oh!
00:02:16Lorette!
00:02:17What is it?
00:02:20I heard noises in this wall all night long.
00:02:23It must be a mouse.
00:02:24Indubitably, I heard scratching sounds as well.
00:02:26No, it was a rat!
00:02:28John!
00:02:29John Collins, I should immediately have him open up this wall and set some traps.
00:02:33Mother, let's have Eula boil some test questions.
00:02:35Yes.
00:02:36Excellent idea.
00:02:38Keep her in the sitting room.
00:02:39I'm getting our case tape now.
00:02:42I'm telling you, there is something in that wall.
00:02:45And it is huge!
00:02:46Don't tell me to calm down.
00:02:50You think I'm all lying, but I'm all lying!
00:02:52I heard, I heard no noise here!
00:02:54I heard, I heard!
00:02:55I heard, I heard!
00:02:55It's wrong!
00:02:55It's wrong!
00:02:56It's wrong!
00:02:56It's wrong!
00:02:56It's wrong!
00:02:57It's wrong!
00:02:57It's wrong!
00:02:58It's wrong!
00:02:59You're too big as I can!
00:03:05And you have not lived until you're in this case.
00:03:07Look at this.
00:03:08It truly is my family.
00:03:12Don't!
00:03:13Lizzie, here.
00:03:14How's your lovely spouse?
00:03:15Fine then, thank God.
00:03:17That was close.
00:03:18We should take our masquerade to the stage.
00:03:20Booth and his folks, they ain't got nothing on us.
00:03:22Go.
00:03:24Eula packed your provisions.
00:03:27Remember, remain as quiet as you can at all times.
00:03:31I will, ma'am.
00:03:32I can't thank y'all enough.
00:03:34I'll pose y'all risk in your lives.
00:03:41Be well and stay safe, Mr. Forth.
00:03:47Peter, if you encounter any suspicions, you take Mr. Forth straight to the farm and-
00:03:51Yes, ma'am.
00:03:52No.
00:03:54Mr. Lizzie, we've done this trip dozens of times, so get on down.
00:03:58Okay, go on now.
00:04:14Looks like she survived.
00:04:16I'm not sure I will.
00:04:18Where's Peter going?
00:04:20Oh, to the farm for rat traps and poison and-
00:04:25I shall sleep awake until he does.
00:04:30I'll be worried to bust down the entire house to get them sperm in.
00:04:33Don't worry, my son.
00:04:34Peter knows you need your beauty rest, huh?
00:04:37Wasn't Mother right about Eula sponge cake?
00:04:39Huh?
00:04:41No, you're not.
00:04:43They're pleasant.
00:04:44Go on.
00:04:44I'm positive you're more beautiful in the daylight.
00:04:48Memories of last night shall float through my dreams for eternity.
00:04:53Well, I'll see you the next time you're in this vicinity.
00:04:56I'll see you.
00:04:56I'll see you the same though.
00:04:58Okay.
00:05:14As you well know, few options are available for a woman making her way alone in this world.
00:05:21I didn't sign that.
00:05:24Hey, how much you get for pug-nuckin' dead old man?
00:05:28No.
00:05:29Is that a freckle?
00:05:31Oh God, that's a tick.
00:05:33Alright.
00:05:34Must be plenty.
00:05:35You live here and buy them fine traces.
00:05:38Hold still.
00:05:40Can I borrow one?
00:05:41It shows up my bosoms.
00:05:43You following me down the gutter?
00:05:45No, I'm sorry.
00:05:46I just won't participate in you becoming a whore.
00:05:49Hold on.
00:05:50I didn't get it.
00:05:51There we go.
00:05:53Ow!
00:05:54Disgusting.
00:05:55She did fine.
00:05:57Hold down.
00:05:59I was a steep tune that got along before you laid out on me.
00:06:03Ain't nothin' you do I don't know about.
00:06:05Mm-hmm.
00:06:06Started off with my drunk with the daddy with my blood.
00:06:10First to come in.
00:06:11Jump up.
00:06:12Strong friends after that.
00:06:14Strong friends.
00:06:36I'll do it in the streets till I can get me my own room.
00:06:41If and you won't help me, bad ass.
00:07:06We want to get out of Virginia
00:07:08to follow South Carolina's lead to success.
00:07:10Well, my reckoning,
00:07:11we ain't got the force.
00:07:13Well, neither did Wreck Ridge.
00:07:15That's because Douglas and Bell
00:07:17split the cell to vote,
00:07:19making that bumpkin rail-splitter president.
00:07:21He ain't my president.
00:07:23I promise Knox and Dixon
00:07:25positions on the county court.
00:07:26They'll vote with us.
00:07:28We'll need to persuade
00:07:29a lot more delegates to join us.
00:07:31Well, me and my boys
00:07:33have a knack for persuading.
00:07:35Y'all hear about the evolution revival
00:07:37over by Deer Creek?
00:07:39Presented by Broadnax
00:07:40is Richmond Chronicle,
00:07:41Henry H.
00:07:44Garnet,
00:07:45the coon agitated calling for the slaves
00:07:47to rise up against the masters.
00:07:49Jericho!
00:07:50Yeah!
00:07:55We can't underestimate Garnet.
00:07:57He's a firebrand.
00:07:59Coming to set everybody's free.
00:08:02And Broadnax,
00:08:02we're stirring up trouble.
00:08:04Deer Creek is far inside the town.
00:08:07That's right.
00:08:08Who knows what can happen out there?
00:08:12Boy,
00:08:13you gonna go listen
00:08:14to your nigga Jesus speechify?
00:08:16Oh, no, no, master, son.
00:08:17Better not be lying to us.
00:08:18No, no, no, no lies, son.
00:08:20You gotta stop this nonsense.
00:08:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:08:44no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:08:51no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:00Miss Liza! Miss Lizzie!
00:09:04Slow down, you'll break your nap.
00:09:06Easy now, Tadpole.
00:09:09Big Mac, give me this for y'all.
00:09:12See from the man in the shadows.
00:09:17Goodness gracious.
00:09:19What is it?
00:09:25Why is the man in the shadows?
00:09:27It's an excellent place to hide.
00:09:40Mrs. Van Loo?
00:09:43Miss Elizabeth?
00:09:45Mr. Brocknecks.
00:09:46Why are we here?
00:09:47To tell you that you cannot hold your abolition rally at Deer Creek.
00:09:53Why not?
00:09:55Reverend Garnett arrives this afternoon.
00:09:57I will not cancel.
00:09:58It's so clear that hooligans are organized in a raid.
00:10:03We anticipate the possibility of violence.
00:10:06I will have guards.
00:10:07That far out in the woods, you shall need an army.
00:10:12How do you know this?
00:10:13That isn't the point.
00:10:14It'll be a bloody massacre.
00:10:16Well, where would you propose we have it then?
00:10:18Capitol Square?
00:10:19We hold it here.
00:10:20Those bastards wouldn't dare violate the sanctity of the house of God.
00:10:25Well, they all have asked his mother.
00:10:27You might as well hold it that Lumpkin Slave Emporium, Pastor Walker here, preaches slavery as God's will.
00:10:33He will not allow it.
00:10:34He won't be here.
00:10:35He's collecting donations for an ecumenical conference in Charleston.
00:10:39A contribution from Mother and I will enable him to go.
00:10:50You two are Wiley.
00:10:56Wiley.
00:11:10Look at him.
00:11:12Darkies and Mutsils.
00:11:14Got to cover the broadnecks, moving his rally to the church.
00:11:18Yeah, well, this whole thing could have been avoided if someone had been a better shot.
00:11:25Next time, keep your eyes open.
00:11:28Might hit his head.
00:11:30Instead of his nutsack.
00:11:33You don't feel right, then.
00:11:34Desecrate in the house of our Lord and Savior.
00:11:36Our Lord.
00:11:37That's why you need to clear him out.
00:11:39You best take him out before he gets done.
00:11:42He's got a natural camouflage.
00:11:43All right, of course, come on.
00:11:44Come on.
00:11:48Ma'am.
00:11:50Ladies.
00:11:52Ladies, ladies and ladies.
00:11:54Mr. Reeves, we thought Pastor Walker was away in Charleston.
00:11:57What is going on?
00:11:58We weren't aware of any scheduled events for this evening.
00:12:02It's a nigger rally.
00:12:04In a Richmond church?
00:12:06Mr. Webster here is going to escort you to the general store for your own safety.
00:12:11You hear me?
00:12:12Mother, as Pastor Walker is absent, I feel it is incumbent upon us to chaperone.
00:12:17We must ensure no damage before us to church.
00:12:20Oh, but ladies, let's...
00:12:21Thank you so much, Stokely.
00:12:23That is an excellent idea.
00:12:24Raymond, go on.
00:12:26Thank you so much.
00:12:27We'll feel so much better knowing that y'all are here.
00:12:31When we go.
00:12:32Hey, you remember.
00:12:33You create just enough disturbance.
00:12:35All right.
00:12:35There's a good reason.
00:12:36Run in there and shut it down.
00:12:38Webster.
00:12:39Captain.
00:12:41Captain.
00:12:42Hi, Pike.
00:12:43These your boys.
00:12:44Who's them?
00:12:44You on my roof up there.
00:12:46One eye wants you on the bridge.
00:12:47That way, when Garnett comes out, you get a clear shot and no miss.
00:12:51My boys will get chased.
00:12:52You'll get away clean.
00:13:09All right, everybody, settle down.
00:13:12Folks, make a seat.
00:13:15Gentlemen, sit down.
00:13:20Seventeen years ago, at the National Convention of Colored Citizens, our distinguished orator tonight,
00:13:30delivered his now-famous call-to-rebellion speech.
00:13:35Frederick Douglass, who cannot come to Virginia on account of the bounty on his head,
00:13:41calls him his intellectual catalyst.
00:13:45He escaped his master's chains to educate himself and become a preacher,
00:13:53pastored a number of churches.
00:13:56He became the publisher of the National Watchmen
00:14:00and co-founder of the African Civilization Society.
00:14:05Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the right reverend Henry H.
00:14:12Go on in.
00:14:53I never had no birthday.
00:14:58I was just born.
00:15:03Nobody never told me how old I'd be.
00:15:12I was just a wee little thing, and I see the book with pictures of a white boy playing with
00:15:26a dog.
00:15:26One of my master's women said that their markings was words.
00:15:37See the dog run.
00:15:47She started to show me my ABCs when the master catches.
00:15:59He get mad.
00:16:03He start to beat on us both.
00:16:06Yelling.
00:16:08Reading me again the law.
00:16:12Let it make a slave worthless.
00:16:14Make him unmanageable.
00:16:17And unsafe.
00:16:22That was the best weapon I ever got.
00:16:30Because I found something that scared that big old white man.
00:16:38He be scared to death of education.
00:16:41Yes, yes, yes.
00:16:44Slavery.
00:16:46Slavery be dependent on ignorance.
00:16:50These white slavers want us to be ignorant.
00:16:56So-called happy and contented slaves.
00:17:01So they can treat us like poor dumb dogs, but don't know no better.
00:17:07But ignorant.
00:17:10Ain't stupid.
00:17:15I start to learn myself how to read and write.
00:17:19And the more I read, the more my eyes opened up, the more I could see.
00:17:26I could see, and I could see the dark, wretched pit that I was in, with no ladder upon which
00:17:33to climb out.
00:17:35I envied my fellow slaves for their ignorance and naivete.
00:17:46I began to abhor my despicable condition and detest my savage enslavers.
00:17:58Yes, yes, yes.
00:18:02What do you say?
00:18:04You talk right.
00:18:06The silver trumpet of knowledge aroused my soul to eternal wakefulness so I could see what I was missing.
00:18:15I was missing my God-given freedom.
00:18:22That's right.
00:18:24That's right.
00:18:25The white man's happiness must no longer be purchased on the black man's misery.
00:18:31The limits of tyrants is prescribed by those they oppress.
00:18:38Power concedes nothing without demand.
00:18:42Yes, yes.
00:18:43Demand!
00:18:44Brothers and sisters, we are on the verge of an excruciating struggle.
00:18:54But without struggle, there is no progress, no high, no low.
00:19:01We must demand our equal rights and stand strong and ready for the struggle.
00:19:20Perhaps there are those who think I am too loquacious, too verbose.
00:19:35And to those I say, I will never stay silent.
00:19:41Never!
00:19:42Never!
00:19:43Never!
00:19:44Never!
00:19:45Never!
00:19:46Never!
00:19:47Never!
00:19:47Never!
00:19:47No one is born hating.
00:19:52My hand is not the same color as yours.
00:19:55But if pierced, I will feel pain, just as you will also feel pain.
00:20:19This spill blood that flows is the same color as yours.
00:20:27Never!
00:20:30I am a man!
00:20:34And the same God made us both.
00:20:39But he made you a nigger!
00:20:41A nigger!
00:20:46Go now!
00:20:47Go now!
00:20:49Gentlemen!
00:20:50Gentlemen!
00:20:51Gentlemen!
00:20:52Brothers!
00:20:53I assume, I assume you are a gentleman, for a gentleman would never insult me.
00:20:59And no man, not a gentleman, can insult me.
00:21:04Teach yourselves.
00:21:06Teach others.
00:21:07Without knowledge, there is no wisdom.
00:21:09With wisdom comes the understanding that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
00:21:17That's why our states must never secede from the Union.
00:21:22Never!
00:21:23Never!
00:21:23Shut the hell up!
00:21:24We're going to tie and feather your ass!
00:21:27Then you would be too late.
00:21:36It's already been done.
00:21:38Oh, my God.
00:21:43This is but a shell.
00:21:45My suit of armor.
00:21:47But what I am here and here can never be touched.
00:21:51Even in death, my spirit, and the truth of who I am inside, can never be touched.
00:22:02Shut the hell up all of you!
00:22:04Meeting's over!
00:22:05Now!
00:22:07Settle down!
00:22:07Don't clear the hell out!
00:22:09Now!
00:22:10Folks!
00:22:11Folks, now is not the time.
00:22:14What needed to be said has been said.
00:22:17Let us go in peace.
00:22:19God bless you.
00:22:21God bless you.
00:22:22Lord, bless you, man.
00:22:24God bless you.
00:22:26God bless you, sir.
00:22:27God bless you.
00:22:29God bless you.
00:22:30God bless you.
00:22:30God bless you.
00:22:31God bless you, brother Garnett.
00:22:35You'll be lucky to get out of Richmond alive, boy.
00:22:51God bless you.
00:22:51Come in here and start trouble.
00:22:55I didn't live this long without him.
00:22:57Knowing that the moment I step out that door, I'm likely to be assassinated.
00:23:01The risk you took, preacher.
00:23:03I'm going to need an officer of the law for a safe escort.
00:23:06I'll escort you myself.
00:23:11Rest assured that shouldn't attack occur, I will not be completely helpless.
00:23:16Numbers 31-3, Moses said, bomb the men among you for war.
00:23:22If I'm shot, my last act will be to send your crack ass to hell.
00:23:31But with you by my side, I'm sure we'll both be just fine.
00:23:37Well, let's get you home, huh?
00:23:48First I, uh, I must wash this naked stink off myself.
00:23:57I must wash this nakedness.
00:24:35Mary Jane
00:24:36I left you a note
00:24:39You're running away
00:24:40I'm free to do as I choose
00:24:42Of course you are
00:24:43But as someone who cares about your well-being
00:24:46I need to escort you to see the Reverend
00:24:48How'd you know I was going to see the Reverend?
00:24:51Because I know you
00:24:54You shouldn't be out without a pass
00:24:56Besides
00:24:56He's not staying where everyone thinks he is
00:25:00I just need to get my shawl
00:25:07Ma'am
00:25:17Miss Van Loo
00:25:19This is a surprise visit
00:25:22I trust no one followed you
00:25:23Indeed
00:25:37We have visitors
00:25:40This is Miss Elizabeth Van Loo
00:25:42And
00:25:44I'm Mary Jane Richards
00:25:46I saw you at the church yesterday
00:25:49Reverend, I'd like a word, please
00:25:52Please
00:25:54If you'll excuse me, I need to make arrangements for our transport
00:25:58Reverend, I'll let you know when we're ready to leave
00:26:00Ladies
00:26:05How may I help you?
00:26:07Your words inspire me
00:26:11I'd like to accompany you
00:26:12And be your disciple
00:26:16Miss Van Loo, you approve of this
00:26:18I make my own decisions
00:26:23Mary Jane is more incapable of deciding what's best for herself
00:26:27Whatever path she chooses
00:26:29My heart is with her
00:26:31My heart is with her
00:26:31Always
00:26:33Good day
00:26:34Mm-hmm
00:26:42Reverend Garnett
00:26:45I decided
00:26:46I want to make a difference in this world like you
00:26:51I see
00:26:55Then why do you think traveling with me will be better than doing everything you can to help your community
00:27:01here?
00:27:02Richmond?
00:27:03The South is a lost cause
00:27:07It is if we surrender
00:27:09We must all do our part if we want change
00:27:13Some of the first historic struggles for liberty were fought right here in Richmond
00:27:17Which is now again the battlefield for freedom
00:27:23We need brave, intelligent warriors right here on the front lines
00:27:29Here's where you can make a difference
00:27:30But what can I do here?
00:27:33Whatever you can, my dear
00:27:35Whatever comes your way
00:27:37Keep your ears perked
00:27:39And those big, beautiful eyes open
00:27:43The good Lord provides opportunities
00:27:47Every day
00:27:51You're welcome to accompany me
00:27:55But
00:27:57You must decide where and how
00:28:00You'll be the most effective
00:28:01Yes, sir
00:28:04Would you like some tea?
00:28:06Yes, sir
00:28:09You know
00:28:15You are extraordinary
00:28:22Please
00:28:25Tell me your story
00:28:28Well
00:28:29Well
00:28:36As soon as you see his nap ahead
00:28:38You take your shot
00:28:40In your core
00:28:41I'm so hungry
00:28:43And your back
00:28:43Until next time
00:28:54I will see you

00:29:19Gentlemen.
00:29:25Where is Garnett?
00:29:26Took off in the dark at night.
00:29:29He left this for you.
00:29:37Mints.
00:29:40There's a note.
00:29:43Don't read it out loud.
00:29:46Stank you smells because your mouth is too close to your nose.
00:29:53Your breath doesn't smell like a possum died sometimes.
00:29:56I swear to God I've identified this bullshit.
00:29:59We'll see what happens when that secession boat lands.
00:30:01The governor says we still need a half dozen fences to carry the day.
00:30:05I'm Ken.
00:30:06I'm out of the men.
00:30:07Get their names.
00:30:08I want to send an unequivocal message to every single delegate.
00:30:15God bless you, Miss Richards.
00:30:22All aboard.
00:30:27All aboard!
00:30:29All aboard!
00:30:38All aboard!
00:30:43All aboard!
00:30:55All aboard!
00:31:35That shouldn't be long, Peter.
00:31:39Good evening, Erasmus.
00:31:41Oh, good evening, Miss Elizabeth.
00:31:42Oh, it's so lovely to see you.
00:31:44Is there anything...
00:31:45I'm here to inquire of my brother's whereabouts.
00:31:47Oh, well, he's just visiting one of our suppliers.
00:31:49We should be back fairly soon.
00:31:56Secession fever has broken out in Virginia.
00:32:03Are you for or against it?
00:32:07Are you for or against it?
00:32:14Well, there are rebel rousers saying that union loyalists are traitors.
00:32:26I'm no traitor.
00:32:31Please let my brother know I'm here.
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:33:00Ugh.
00:33:03Oh!
00:33:05Oh!
00:33:07Oh!
00:33:08Oh!
00:33:08Oh!
00:33:09Vote the wrong way.
00:33:10It'll be worse than this.
00:33:12Fuck you, you lover.
00:33:14Let's go, Gabby.
00:33:23Here's you.
00:33:25Hurry up.
00:33:29Young lady,
00:33:31did you want to offer our wares on the street?
00:33:33Didn't you see their filthy clothes?
00:33:35Getting festered with vermin.
00:33:38Oh, you poor man.
00:33:40Did they rob you?
00:33:42Only of my dignity.
00:33:44Is there anything we can do?
00:33:47Perhaps some other time.
00:33:52Come along.
00:33:53Let's go.
00:34:00Never had no mama.
00:34:02I'm not sure I want one.
00:34:05Rich men from all over the state
00:34:06are in town this week for the vote.
00:34:09At night, they get lonely.
00:34:10Is that the word for it now?
00:34:12Many words for what we do.
00:34:15None of them are very nice,
00:34:16but we smile,
00:34:17we flirt,
00:34:19we leave our scent,
00:34:21and we try to be grateful
00:34:22we are only for rent
00:34:23and not for sale.
00:34:42Look at this.
00:34:42Look at this.
00:35:04What's on the surrenders?
00:35:06Yankee sons of bitches are on the run!
00:35:45Look after the storm.
00:35:46Yes, ma'am.
00:35:52Take this home, Peter.
00:35:54Harry, this is a catastrophe.
00:35:57Thank you, thank you!
00:35:59Thank you!
00:36:10Thank you!
00:36:13Oh yes.
00:36:15Oh I'm certain you've heard of him.
00:36:17Oh yes.
00:36:26I'm calling the convention back in
00:36:30for a new vote
00:36:35We will
00:36:36the scene trial for you here
00:36:38For the end of the union
00:36:52What are these letters?
00:36:55P-E
00:36:57And that's an S
00:36:58Now sound it out
00:37:02Stripes
00:37:03Stripes
00:37:04Good
00:37:05The stars and the stripes were lowered
00:37:07after the federal military garrison
00:37:10at Fort Sumter surrendered
00:37:12Having defended the fort
00:37:13for over 34 hours
00:37:15until the quarters were entirely burned
00:37:17in the main gates destroyed by fire
00:37:19the generals, Major Anderson
00:37:21accepted the terms of evacuation
00:37:22offered by General Pierre G.T. Beauregard
00:37:26You know all that by heart?
00:37:28The United States flag
00:37:29giving place to the Palmetto of South Carolina
00:37:32A great victory for the Confederate States of America
00:37:35At last, Civil War has begun
00:37:38You hardly glanced at it
00:37:40and recall the whole thing?
00:37:41I look at something
00:37:42I remember it
00:37:45Uncle Christian
00:37:46Miss Mae Jane's teaching me the big words
00:37:49Oh, like I've been teaching the small ones
00:37:52Most important thing is you keep learning
00:37:57Everyone
00:37:58Everyone
00:38:00The vote to secede
00:38:03is imminent
00:38:04It's becoming too dangerous here
00:38:06The worst of the South
00:38:08has its grip on Virginia
00:38:09and if
00:38:09if you stay here
00:38:11we can't protect you
00:38:12We have your papers
00:38:13You're making us leave?
00:38:14We need you to be safe
00:38:15What if we don't want to go?
00:38:17You've always been free
00:38:19Ever since my dear husband passed
00:38:22It's been your choice, Peter
00:38:25Uncle Christian
00:38:26I don't want to go nowhere without you
00:38:28I'll always be in your heart
00:38:31Come here
00:38:33You know, you're going back and doing your chores
00:38:35Go on now
00:38:42Oh my, my wonderful news
00:38:45Hurrah, hurrah
00:38:46A glorious day for the Confederacy
00:38:50What is going on?
00:38:53What is going on?
00:38:59No
00:39:02You are not freeing our slaves
00:39:06John, tell them
00:39:08One simply does not throw away valuable property
00:39:11willy-nilly
00:39:12Don't be silly
00:39:13Mother knows better
00:39:15See what you've done
00:39:16They cannot give away what belongs to you without consulting you
00:39:20They're completely cuckoo
00:39:24Lorette knows where your sympathies lie
00:39:26It's going to be dangerous for the both of you as well
00:39:28If we do go, you ought to come too
00:39:31Mary Jane
00:39:33I was born here
00:39:34I spent my whole life here
00:39:37And when the good Lord sees fit
00:39:39This is where I'll die
00:39:41We've seen danger before
00:39:43This is different
00:39:44We are not
00:39:44An evil tide is washing over the South
00:39:47To these hate mongers
00:39:49The only thing worse than a nigger
00:39:50Is a nigger lover
00:39:52Which is how they will see you
00:39:53And when they do
00:39:54You better pray to the Lord
00:39:56For mercy on your soul
00:39:58For what will be done to you
00:39:59Mary Jane
00:40:00Why don't you move up north
00:40:01And take Tadpole with you
00:40:03Oh
00:40:04Well, you come with us
00:40:06I got the Van Loser set up
00:40:07Our Underground Railroad here
00:40:10I'm the conductor
00:40:10And I'm going to finish what I started
00:40:15I'm going to stay, Mrs. Eliza
00:40:17Mrs. Lizzie
00:40:18Yeah
00:40:21That is your choice
00:40:25Eula
00:40:27What about you and William?
00:40:29If you think it's best for us both
00:40:31We can go
00:40:31We do
00:40:34Isham will take whoever decides to leave out to the farm
00:40:37And arrange a safe passage to Philadelphia
00:40:42And until then
00:40:44We carry on
00:40:45As before
00:40:47Keep our heads down
00:40:50Peers down
00:40:53Mrs. Elizabeth
00:40:55You got a gentleman called
00:41:25Thank you, Temple.
00:41:26Well, at the news of the day, I was invited to Richmond by our friend Obi Wise to attend Mr.
00:41:34Booth's performance, but really, it's my excuse to come here and apologize for the last time we saw each other.
00:41:41I wrote you letters.
00:41:43I received no letters.
00:41:44I couldn't find the right words, then decided I must see you in person.
00:41:51Life was lost at Sparkle without you in it.
00:42:02That day at the lake, well, I speak of compromise, and yet I seem to be incapable of simple interaction
00:42:13with a man I deeply respect.
00:42:16As I deeply respect you, which is why I'm here.
00:42:20I've arranged for an evening at the theater.
00:42:22Your mother, your brother John, and his wife must attend as well.
00:42:26Given the current circumstances, I'm not sure if festivities are in order.
00:42:30I entreat you to consider it a respite from these troubled times, and as a chance to stand up, show
00:42:36the world that we can surmount to these splits dividing our country.
00:42:45Well, as long as I don't ever sit next to my sister-in-law.
00:42:47Oh, no, they're confined to the balcony.
00:42:49You and I have our own boxies.
00:42:53Now, I take it you'll come?
00:42:59Yes.
00:43:00Good.
00:43:02I truly missed our conversations.
00:43:06However sharp its edges...
00:43:20Oh, that's Mr. Broadnax.
00:43:24He's the editor of the Chronicle newspaper.
00:43:27I've read his editorials before.
00:43:29He's an excellent journalist.
00:43:32A good man.
00:43:34Oh, not again.
00:43:39Stop, Johnson.
00:43:40Oh, it's all right, man.
00:43:43I can get it.
00:43:44The divine Miss Clara.
00:43:47Might I offer you a ride?
00:43:50It'd be my pleasure.
00:43:54Uh-oh.
00:43:56Go ahead, Johnson.
00:43:58Thank you kindly, Miss...
00:44:01Call me Katie.
00:44:02Miss Katie.
00:44:04It's nice to meet you.
00:44:05I do hope I'm fortunate enough to see you again sometime.
00:44:09Oh, you will.
00:44:31I thought it was you.
00:44:32I wonder where you went.
00:44:35You wish.
00:44:36You fancy.
00:44:38Let go of me.
00:44:39You're hurting me.
00:44:41Nope.
00:44:44Dirty dress.
00:44:45Who are you laying with?
00:44:48I'll get you money.
00:44:50Cash.
00:44:51Then you can't forget you ever knew me.
00:44:52I ain't forgetting you.
00:44:54I ain't forgetting you.
00:44:54And I know by God.
00:44:56You ain't ever forgetting me.
00:44:59Change your looks.
00:45:00Change your name.
00:45:01You're still the same Bessie Gomes

00:48:13We got us a damn good thing here.
00:48:16I gotta say, I miss you, sweet-ass Bessie girl.
00:48:21I can't show my face to Clara again.
00:48:24I stole from her.
00:48:26Look at that snooty bastard.
00:48:28Stay put and out of my way.
00:48:31I am so sorry, sir.
00:48:33Hey, he's stealing from you!
00:48:45You took my money, too!
00:48:48You bother her again?
00:48:50I'll cut your heart out.
00:48:54You good?
00:48:56Go on.
00:49:04Wow.
00:49:06That...
00:49:06That's beautiful.
00:49:09I'll be presented to my grandmama by the Duke of Orleans before his 1830 return to Paris.
00:49:17But...
00:49:18Tonight...
00:49:19I'm just going to someone equally as special.
00:49:23Lucky her.
00:49:25I hope so.
00:49:47Take me home.
00:49:48Yes, ma'am.
00:49:49Yes, ma'am.
00:49:56Yes, ma'am.
00:50:24That's every last dollar I've took.
00:50:31Good.
00:50:32Now get out.
00:50:35I don't blame you.
00:51:23Oh, Babcock.
00:51:25You understand, don't you?
00:51:33Darlene.
00:51:36Mr. Hampton also knows downstairs.
00:51:40Tell him to go away.
00:51:41Oh, now it seems he arrived at the theater after you left and was involved in some kind of brawl.
00:51:50I know what sort of brawl he was involved in, Mother.
00:52:01You can tell, Mr. Hampton Austin, that I am under the weather.
00:52:05You can tell him that you can't find me.
00:52:07You can tell him that I suddenly up and died.
00:52:09You can tell him to go sucking a lemon.
00:52:10And I don't care what you tell him, but I will not see him.
00:52:21Not now.
00:52:24Not now.
00:52:36Mr. Osno.
00:52:37Mr. Van Leeu, I'm waiting for Miss Elizabeth.
00:52:41Oh, I fear there may be an irreparable breach between you.
00:52:48Well, our train departs shortly.
00:52:51Would you be so kind as to give her this letter, please?
00:52:54It'll clear up all our misunderstandings.
00:52:55Of course.
00:53:06Mrs. Van Leeu.
00:53:08Hampton?
00:53:32Mr. Osno.
00:53:34Mr. Osno.
00:53:36Mr. Osno.
00:53:36Oh, dear.
00:53:38Mr. Osno left already.
00:53:40I'm afraid so.
00:53:42Men are such cats.
00:54:08I'm afraid so.
00:55:12I'm bored with it.
00:55:14Oh, yes.
00:55:17Hard from the world.
00:55:18I blame myself.
00:55:21I thought I'd instilled true character in the flower that was our Elizabeth.
00:55:31Mother, please, I am acutely aware of all of your ploys.
00:55:36How droll of you.
00:55:37Then I must inform you, whilst you were pining away over a cad of a man, you are now living
00:55:44in the Confederate States of America.
00:55:55I'm not pining away over Hampton.
00:55:59I see.
00:56:00Merely gathering strength for the fight?
00:56:03Of course.
00:56:04You must get everyone out to the farm.
00:56:06Already in process?
00:56:08Isham and Peter are loading up the wagon.
00:56:11Well, then stop idling about.
00:56:12Let's go.
00:56:13Yes, ma'am.
00:56:17Peter, take down the flag.
00:56:19Quick, go.
00:56:25Everyone, listen.
00:56:28We are family.
00:56:29I have no memory of life that doesn't include all of you.
00:56:33I shan't say goodbye, for that seems too permanent.
00:56:37But I will say a prayer over you each night until we are all together again eating Eula's scrumptious budge
00:56:43cake.
00:56:43I won't go.
00:56:45I'm staying with you, Uncle Isham.
00:56:47You and me, Jane.
00:56:48Tab Hall, Mary Jane told us that you're learning to read.
00:56:51You're destined for wonderful things.
00:56:53I won't go.
00:56:54Oh.
00:56:55It's safe.
00:56:56Oh, now.
00:56:56Tab Hall, I changed my mind.
00:56:58I'm going to the farm, too, and I need a brave man to protect me.
00:57:01Can you do that?
00:57:03All right, let's go.
00:57:08Come on, son.
00:57:09All of me.
00:57:23Here we go.
00:57:24Let's get the phone for the dog.
00:57:26Let's go.
00:57:26You mustn't stay here.
00:57:28Y'all should come to the farm.
00:57:29There's no time to offer.
00:57:29We'll be fine.
00:57:30You know how I feel.
00:57:30We'll be fine.
00:57:30Isham, go.
00:57:31Go on.
00:57:31Go on.
00:57:32Yep.
00:57:34Yep.
00:57:39Come, darling.
00:57:56We're going to drink all the whiskey.
00:58:05What's wrong with you, darling?
00:58:08The Spondylaks are falling out of their pockets before they can pull their paints off.
00:58:11It's time to celebrate.
00:58:14I've got nothing to celebrate.
00:58:16I may be a whore, but I'm no traitor.
00:58:47Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:58:54Where are you going, boy?
00:58:55The Fair News Farms, sir.
00:58:57Uh, got the, uh, passes from the master right here.
00:59:02Look at these fancy outfit in the boots, all dressed up like white folk.
00:59:06Now, now, you gentlemen, behave yourselves.
00:59:09I guess you ain't having a move.
00:59:11This is the Confederate States of America now.
00:59:13Now, that's right.
00:59:15We're making our own rules now.
00:59:17We don't want no trouble.
00:59:19All yours, boy.
00:59:22Get your hands off me!
00:59:24Don't touch me!
00:59:27Get off me!

01:00:37Nooo!
01:00:39Oh no!
01:00:53Quiet!
01:00:55I am done with your coward brother of yours.
01:00:58He refuses to amiss in the Confederate cause.
01:01:01And I refuse to remain in this house.
01:01:03Kill him!
01:01:04Claret!
01:01:04You cannot do this!
01:01:07Claret, please.
01:01:09You will not take the girls.
01:01:11Move!
01:01:11You!
01:01:12It's up to me all kicking in me!
01:01:14I saw you!
01:01:15Loved it more!

01:02:15No!
01:02:20Oh, no!
01:02:29What are we going to do?
01:02:31That must be retribution.
01:02:33First we bury that sweet, beautiful boy.
01:02:37Then we fight.
01:02:51Then we fight.
