00:01Fare thee well, if I never ever see you anymore, fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well, I
00:21need you, I'll find that one.
00:24How many more tampons are we going to find in ditches or hanging from trees before we do something?
00:35Our lives are precious, we are not property, wives and child have to die to be free.
00:49We don't have to die to be free.
01:16Taphole saved my life.
01:19My heart aches, you had to come home to this.
01:22We're so sorry for all you've endured.
01:25We'd hope you'd be free of all this in Africa, with your own kind.
01:30My kind?
01:31We genuinely thought that the society's plan to send your people back to their native land would be a better
01:39life.
01:40I'm born here same as you all.
01:43Three years in Liberia showed me that I'm not meant to be there.
01:46Look, I know you all were doing your very best, but Frederick Douglass even says that whole American colonization society
01:52is just a tricky little way of ridding America of free blacks.
01:56And that's why I've come back.
01:59Well, we try our best.
02:02We can't know what'll happen.
02:04You have no idea what's to befall me.
02:08Only God knows what will befall any of us.
02:11I don't know if I believe in God anymore.
02:14You mustn't lose faith, it's what keeps us going.
02:17Rage keeps me going.
02:30Rage keeps me going.
02:31Yeah, I don't know if I don't mind.
02:39He's sweet.
02:42I'll be there right now too.
02:42Who are you?
02:57I'm not sure if we are.
03:51If we leave Eva alone, are we responsible for it growing?
03:56What are you proposing?
03:59Something that will put us all in danger?
04:28I wasn't certain you could come.
04:29I'm being watched.
04:31I love you, too.
04:33Every suspicious eye turns my way.
04:36I'm sorry about the boy.
04:40I have determined the devil will not have died in vain.
04:45This way of life must end.
04:47That's why we have the underground.
04:49No.
04:50We must do more.
04:52More?
04:53What more is there?
04:55Sort of overthrowing the Confederate government.
04:57Precisely.
04:59How?
05:00Reassembling our railroad.
05:02Reassembling our railroad?
05:03For what?
05:05The dissemination of information.
05:07You intend to turn our underground into a spot at work?
05:11Instead of runaways, we shuttle messages up north.
05:15We position loyal patriots to pass information at strategic points,
05:19Confederate headquarters, brothels, camps, hospitals.
05:24Well, why not infiltrate the Greyhouse?
05:28Once President Davis arrives, I assure you, you will know what he is having for breakfast.
05:35Well, that is one ambitious undertaking.
05:40Mother and I have the access, resources, and ability to move through the city's corridors of power.
05:50Richmond simmers with treachery.
05:53Who can you trust?
05:57That is the risk I take.
06:01That is the risk we all take.
06:08I am dubious on your proposal.
06:12I shall let you know.
06:13Wait!
06:24One hundred!
06:26No, one hundred.
06:27What?
06:27I don't know what the...
06:30Got yourself a good bargain there, Zeke.
06:35Oh, we got a prime young buck here, folks.
06:42Go by the tiger, Jeremiah.
06:45Very inspiring.
06:47Healthy as a mule.
06:49No money about a two dollar pound.
06:52That's all muscle, folks.
06:53All muscle.
06:55You know what?
06:56A few dollar more, I'm going to throw in the missing.
07:01And you know what?
07:03There's a little pickin' in it, too.
07:05That's a real good bargain, folks.
07:08Martin!
07:09You son of a bitch.
07:10You've been keeping your mouth shut all morning.
07:12You're going to start the bidding at one hundred.
07:15One hundred!
07:16Give me a hundred and twenty-five.
07:17Two hundred and twenty-five, two hundred and twenty-five, three hundred.
07:21Three hundred, four hundred.
07:22Three fifty here.
07:22We got three fifty, but that ain't going to do it.
07:24Two red.
07:25Not going to do it.
07:26Here, four hundred.
07:27Four hundred.
07:40That's the written model of...
07:48Sell the buck.
07:49We don't need him.
07:50Or the pickin' in it.
07:51No, no, no.
07:51Please mess us up.
07:53Take us all.
07:54We will call for you, Wayne.
07:56No, give him the...
07:57Take the baby.
07:58Take the baby.
07:59Come on.
08:01It'd be better if you just take the whole lot, you know.
08:04I ain't being mocked or nothing, but...
08:07They work longer and harder if you can just keep them all together, you know.
08:13Just the gals, she'll do fine.
08:15Five hundred dollars.
08:17That's good.
08:18For the whole family.
08:19That's even better.
08:22Five hundred's more than less.
08:24Do I hear six hundred?
08:26Five hundred's five.
08:28I got five hundred going once, going twice.
08:31Sold.
08:33Fine, Lou.
08:43My dog needs blood.
08:45She said, because that's...
08:46That's the way it is.
08:49Joseph!
08:51Next man.
08:52That one, that one, and that one.
08:54Hurry!
08:56You can't let that slave master see us.
08:59Not after we stood up here in that day.
09:02That man's swore.
09:03He'll kill us both.
09:05Oh, he can't tell one donkey from another.
09:08He'll give you back to the war, boy.
09:10If you say so.
09:12He's all the same, the wife, O.
09:17I am forever grateful for you saving me and my Euler.
09:23I'm more for sorry.
09:25I wouldn't have seen it help that pole.
09:30Sorry, father.
09:33Derrick Hall!
09:40God damn it!
09:41Can't pop with your lollygames!
09:42We got niggas!
09:43Now!
09:53See these papers?
09:54Yes, sir.
09:55If I sign them, it's called manumission.
09:57Yo, legal release.
09:59You can never be enslaved again.
10:03You want free us?
10:04If I sign them.
10:06Well, where we gonna go, sir?
10:08We ain't got no place to be.
10:09What we gonna do?
10:11That's up to you.
10:13Being free means you're on your own.
10:15Or you can work for me and my family at a fair wage.
10:19Your choice.
10:21Yes, sir.
10:23Get in.
10:30Uh, William, what are you doing back there?
10:33You trying to hide or something?
10:43You!
10:45Move it.
10:47Let's go.
10:50You ain't fooling nobody, Julia.
10:52Except your old main sister.
11:03You're acting like you seen a ghost.
11:06Yes, sir.
11:06Sorry, sir.
11:07You know how Mrs. Eliza did the day later.
11:10She'll be more upset if you kill her only son.
11:12Now slow down.
11:13Mary Jane.
11:15You only know your slave hunter saw me.
11:18You recognize me.
11:20How do you know he recognized you?
11:21I just know.
11:22I'll tell Miss Lizzie.
11:26I need your old gargling clothes.
11:28What?
11:29Whatever for?
11:31William says Lumpkin's slave hunter recognized him and are coming for him in Eula.
11:36Is he certain of that?
11:38William's been all over town since that day.
11:40We can't risk it.
11:42I need to get them out as soon as possible.
11:43You!
11:44You can't.
11:45There's a war commencing at any moment.
11:47I'm taking him.
11:49Out of the temple.
11:51Anything happens.
11:52I can live with myself.
11:54Mary Jane, have they should get the special wagon ready?
12:08William, Eula, I'm taking the trail.
12:11It's too risky on the road.
12:13You all right in there?
12:15Yeah, I can live with you.
12:17When we get to the farm, you must proceed on foot to the rowways.
12:21Look for a green kajit hanging on the plow by the barn.
12:25But if you see a red one...
12:26Turn back and run.
12:27No.
12:28Hide and survive.
12:32I bet they don't even know we're going.
12:36Hey, look what's coming here.
12:39Whoa!
12:40Whoa!
12:45What are you doing out here, ma'am?
12:48Going on back out to my farm.
12:51Trying to get a first piece down the road away from all this racket.
12:56War started, lady.
12:57You got a pass?
12:59Ain't nobody say I need one.
13:01So says Deputy Marshal Reeves.
13:04Is that right?
13:06Check the wagon.
13:07Wagon them.
13:08Except for a few taters and turnips and something.
13:13I said, check the wagon.
13:33Ain't nothing back here.
13:52Evolutionist smugglers!
13:54You run!
13:55No!
13:57You run!
13:58No!
14:00You run!
14:12You run!
14:21Oh, my God.
15:13Oh
15:23Oh
15:47Oh
16:15Yeah
16:54Oh
16:55Oh
16:58Oh
16:58Oh
17:00Oh
17:00All the way
17:03All the way
17:06All the way
17:28Pull back!
17:30Pull back!
17:31Take cover where you can!
17:34We got them running, boys.
17:36Cut them off!
17:37Shulk around and flank them!
17:42Cut them from here, boys!
17:44Get out of here!
18:05Major!
18:08Major!
18:29Come on out now!
18:32We got to surround them!
18:39You and the Major, come on up.
18:42Hands empty.
18:50Welcome to the Old Dominion, Captain.
18:54I've been waiting for you.
19:04I think we're here.
19:06The advantage.
19:19What's the message, General?
19:21Mr. President, General Jackson says that the Yanks ran like dogs.
19:29Perhaps now the North will lose heart and negotiate for peace.
19:34They have no choice.
19:41That's a naive assessment.
19:43Our troops are proving only slightly less green and disorganized than Mr. Lincolns.
19:47The generals do not believe we must press the attack.
19:50Parry the enemy all the way to Washington.
19:52We'll lose the advantage of fighting our own ground and have to face their entrenched...
19:56If we take their capital, they'd have to sue for peace.
19:58We'd make quick work of this war.
20:00Mr. President, we cannot confuse the fantasies of our penny alarm press with hard realities.
20:04You think I don't know that?
20:05You did win the day.
20:06Our first clash with the enemy.
20:08We've emerged victorious!
20:10Canada!
20:17Welcome home!
20:22Welcome home!
20:24That's it!
20:25That's it!
20:27Thank you!
20:32Thank you!
20:37Yeah!
20:51I think we're gonna have this though. There's a whole dollar. I don't know that we're gonna prefer that one.
21:00Let me take this.
21:15Now stop that Jasper. All of you. Stop. I know that Amanda and I do the same if you were
21:21mine. We are southern gentlemen Jasper. That is not how we behave.
21:28Oh would you stop with that? I'm a proud Virginian through and through. As such it is incumbent upon all
21:36of us to act accordingly.
21:40Those men are soldiers too.
22:30They just have two rings.
22:45I see a check.
22:47Yeah, yeah, a new silver pocket watch.
22:51What are you killing? What?
23:07Why won't the men propose, Mama?
23:10Why won't the men propose?
23:15He seems to be coming to the point
23:19But then away he goes
23:24It is no fault of yours, Mama, that everybody knows
23:31He fed the finest men in town
23:35But oh, he won't propose
23:37He won't, he won't, he won't, he won't propose, Mama
23:44He won't, he won't, he won't propose
23:57I'm sure I've done my best, Mama, to make a proper match
24:03For the coronets and eldest sons, I'm always on the watch
24:08I've hopes when some distinguishable
24:12A glance upon me throws
24:17Though he'll smile and flirt and dance
24:20But oh, he won't propose
24:23He won't, he won't, he won't propose, Mama
24:28I won't, he won't, he won't propose
24:42I've tried to win by languishing and dressing like a blue
24:49I've bought big books and talked of them as if I've read them through
24:55Then I throw away the books
24:59Thought ignorance was bliss
25:02I'll convince that men preferred a simpler sort of man
25:11But oh, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't
25:34And what is to be done, Mama, oh, what is to be done
25:40I have no time to lose, Mama, for I am 31
25:47At balls, I am too often left
25:51Where spinsters sit in rows
25:53I won't the men propose, Mama
25:57I won't the men propose
26:00They won't, they won't, they won't, they won't propose, Mama
26:07They won't, they won't, they won't propose
26:28To our glorious new confederacy
26:33A-ha, drink your food and Yankee doodles
26:37Woo!
26:43Yeah!
26:46Pity, I can only accommodate one of yours
26:50Whoa!

29:42miss
29:51miss
29:51Elizabeth, you're all right?
29:54Although I suffer as my beloved country suffers,
29:57I am of sound body and mind.
30:01In fine fiddle, as they say.
30:06That night at the theater, I didn't get a chance to explain.
30:11It's not necessary.
30:19Elizabeth, I have never met a woman
30:21of greater beauty, integrity, or spirit.
30:25A woman who's opened my heart like never before, but...
30:29We're not on the same side.
30:35No, we are not. It breaks my heart.
30:38We're not enough to change your mind.
30:43Tragically, I cannot abandon friends made over a lifetime
30:47on my home, and it's already...
30:48You know, Hampton, war is tragic.
30:53Clinging to the past is tragic.
30:55Allowing the bonds of friendship to trump justice is tragic.
30:58Seeing men of courage make wrongful decisions, that is tragic.
31:05Elizabeth, there's word the Union Army is preparing a counter move.
31:08You must at least allow me to take you away to someplace safe.
31:14I brought Antoine.
31:17You know, he's outside. You can ride him now.
31:27My place is here, with my family in Richmond, where it's always been, and will always be.
31:43Where it's also gone, and will have to take you away to the Gentiles.
31:43I don't know if anyone is a proud man.
31:53He's outside.
31:53So, this is how you think of her.
31:53It's always been a matter of time.
31:54There's no one who's going to be.
31:54There's always been a matter of time, you know.
31:54Since you've been practicing, you know, at the end of your life,
31:55you're doing a more i-discrimination.
31:55I'm going to ask you to come after the end of your life.
31:58I truly brought you to the end of your life.
32:02I don't know what you are.
32:44Oh, you need to let that go, my friend.
32:48Oh, look here. Look who's looking at you.
32:54God, man, she's a married woman.
32:56Who recently moved into the Exchange Hotel.
32:59Her mama was scared.
33:06Oh, hey, you better go easy on that, John.
33:09Too many words there.
33:10Oh, hey, you better go easy on that, John.
33:42Mr. President, welcome to Richmond.
33:46Listen, my nephew has perished, unfortunately, and I need to say condolences to his mother.
33:51Hello there. How are you, sir?
33:53Nice to see you. Thank you for coming out.
33:55Nice to see you.
33:59Nice to see you.
34:00Oh, it's Chase Wharton returned from Washington.
34:06So, how is your baboon charm disarms the English?
34:09A word, please.
34:12And as much as your theatrical peregrinations take you deep into Northern Territory, affording you unique access,
34:19President Davis asked me to inquire, should the occasional message document need to be passed on?
34:24Anything for the South, dear boy.
34:34Look at that.
34:35Pedal in her wares right out here in public.
34:51It'll be all right.
34:53Mm-hmm.
35:00Friends, friends and fellow citizens, we have decisively won our first major battle against the Northern invasion,
35:10driving back the enemy to preserve the sacred soil of Virginia.
35:16Yep, yep.
35:22I do believe we may have broken the backbone of the invasion and the spirit of the North.
35:31If God's clear.
35:32Fox, who can hear you?
35:35It should be so foolish as to continue this war against our citizenry.
35:41Every inch of our Southern soil will be bitterly contested with bullets, blood, and fire.
35:51I know that Baker man.
35:53Yeah, he forced his money aside.
35:55Nah, some other time ago.
35:56Some other place.
35:57He's been a nagging at me.
36:00That's for you.
36:04From Baltimore.
36:06He's that Pinkerton.
36:07Son of a bitch Baker.
36:08He's a goddamn spy.
36:12That's the link of stakes that a house divided cannot stand, and for once we in the South agreed with
36:17it.
36:17We built our own house, right?
36:22Our victory has come with a dire cost.
36:27Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon our honor of death.
36:32Let us take a moment to honor and pay tribute to these brave men.
36:40I need...
36:44Live...
36:45Fire!
36:48The issue now is whether these two separate, proud houses cannot only stand but prosper.
37:02I say yes!
37:04Yes, we can!
37:18Long live our proud confederacy!
37:23Father, you're going to be inич 843!
37:26Thank you, ma'am.
37:36Elliot, Todd!
37:37I came with you!
37:39I'm going to be out.
37:44I'm lying in because of keeping the spooky stories alive.
37:50Larry Katie?
37:50I want to be out again, a great parade.
37:50Listen, I know.
38:18We're back.
38:19I'm not Guglies from Baltimore, tried to assassinate Lincoln.
38:23How do they recognize you?
38:25I'm the one that arrested him.
38:27Baltimore? I thought only people down here wanted to kill you.
38:36I hear my pleas.
38:38Our enemies will never come to this sacred land.
38:41Never, never, never.
38:45They will not live to him, the South Way, friend.
38:47Yield, yield, nay.
38:48They will be daunted by the thunder of the rebel jail.
38:58Dear sweet you, however can we combat these traitors?
39:04We shall host a lavish soiree, welcoming the Davises to their new home.
39:34To our first president and his first lady,
39:40we formally welcome you to the proud first capital of the Confederacy.
39:57Come all you sons of freedom and join our southern band.
40:03We're gonna fight the Yankees and drive them from our land.
40:09Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon.
40:14The South is the wagon and we'll all take a ride.
40:22Jeff Davis is our president, with Judah by his side.
40:26Green Winger, our general, will join us on the ride.
40:31Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon.
40:35The South is the wagon and we'll all take a ride.
40:40God bless Dixie!
40:47Let the whole world know, despite the dogs of war, Richmond danced.
41:10I do worry about John's reputation.
41:14His absence will be the talk, Richmond.
41:19It's better that he drinks in private than to make a public spectacle of himself.
41:26Elizabeth.
41:33Despite these turbulent times, I always feel that life is the sweet of them for having you in.
41:44Perhaps, if we are to trust in our president's bold assurances,
41:48I might warn you to be a short-term engagement.
41:51Then, perhaps, we can...
41:53Still battle with our divergent beliefs?
42:03Stay safe, old friend.
42:19Stay safe, old friend.
42:23Stay safe, old friend!
42:26Stay safe, old friend.
42:27Stay safe, old friend.
42:27To this, all are gone!
42:31This is our perfect good friend.
42:33It's a great time to win!
42:35I'm ready.
43:07They're in this loyal environment.
43:09Given the, frankly, very close margin of the secession vote,
43:13what was one spirited debate could turn into dangerous sedition.
43:16And sabotage.
43:18That's a correct assumption.
43:20Do you have any particular apostates in mind?
43:23Congressman Clements, for a while.
43:25Went back and put him under observation.
43:28As well as known insurgents such as Duncan Brodnax, the Chronicle.
43:32And what about the opinionated man lose?
43:35They have embraced our cause.
43:37Besides, what possible harm could a woman do?
43:41Tell us, General, how should we deal with union sympathizers?
43:45Treason, General, ends on the gallows.
43:53Enjoy your evening.
44:07Dear Jane, if you're having any doubts, you don't have to go through with this.
44:17No, this is why I came back.
44:20My death in Philadelphia, Africa, or anywhere else, it would have been a waste.
44:25But my death here might could be of some use.
44:44This is such a surprise, Elizabeth.
44:47Elizabeth, you are so outspoken against the session.
44:50That's right.
44:51At first, I, too, was obliged to counsel my fellow Southerners against this great divide.
44:56No conscientious citizen wants war.
45:00Mrs. Davis, Verena, we'd like to present a token of our appreciation for your service and sacrifice.
45:09This is Mary Jane.
45:12Mary Jane, we raised her from birth.
45:14We trust you'll find her most amenable.
45:17I am most pleased to make your acquaintance, ma'am.
45:23So articulate.
45:26We've been practicing our addiction all week.
45:31Superb, Mary Jane.
45:32Your best effort yet.
45:34Thank you, Mrs.
45:35Even though it still don't feels right coming off my tongue.
45:39Oh, darling, isn't that marvelous?
45:43Yeah, Mr. President, I beg to offer you a talking to my appreciation as well.
45:48It's well known your coachman has run off.
45:51Except mine.
45:52He'll do you proud.
45:53Well, it's most generous of you.
45:56It's so kind of all of you.
45:57Appreciate it.
45:59Mommy!
46:00Mommy!
46:01Read to us!
46:02Read us a big time story!
46:04Caroline!
46:05Mommy!
46:06You do it.
46:07I have a headache.
46:08You know I can't read, Miss Laurit.
46:10Then talk about the pictures.
46:12Come on, girls.
46:16Lord, I'm mercy.
46:27I'll see no more of the final day.
46:33Why, Mr. Arsenal?
46:39Up here!
46:40Who is that?
46:42Identify yourself.
46:44You're not attending the president's dollar?
46:46Well, given your sister-in-law's presence there, I chose to enjoy the company of John Barley Court.
46:56Oh.
46:59Dishonored's breath can never stay.
47:04The girl I left behind.
47:07I'm uncertain whether to alert the authorities.
47:10Oh.
47:11Oh.
47:13Oh, I could pour you a glass of this exquisite brandy.
47:18Well, I do enjoy the taste of a stout of brandy.
47:48It's a wrap.
47:51Excuse me.
48:01Mr. Secretary.
48:02I understand you would like to volunteer to be a courier for us.
48:06That is correct, sir.
48:08There's still a reuse voucher for you.
48:11Oh, good.
48:12How will you be able to traverse freely between the North and yourself?
48:16Well, I hail from Baltimore.
48:18I'm the leader of the Sons of Liberty Secessionists.
48:21I have worked in support of the cause for a very long time, sir.
48:25I shall introduce you to the president.
48:27Thank you, sir.
48:28Tell me a little more about yourself.
48:30Well, Baltimore took some time to join us.
48:42If we don't seal the doors and set this place of fire, we could topple the entire Confederacy in one
48:47blow.
48:48Well, I don't want my beautiful Richmond burned down in the process.
48:54Someone I can trust would be invaluable to me.
48:59Well, you may count on me.
49:02I have every confidence in you.
49:08Good night, Christmas.
49:16Mr. Reeves, I have congratulated you on your appointment as our new deputy provost marshal.
49:25Well, I thank you, ma'am.
49:27Hmm.
49:29Missed as a book.
49:37I shall be the eyes and the ears of our fair city, making sure those in the act of iniquity
49:45will have meat to fear.
49:47We shall all sleep better with you watching over us, Mr. Reeves.
49:52We bid you adieu.
50:10Hampton, good night.
50:14Good night.
50:39I don't know what you mean by your friends.
50:41I have to go for free.
50:42How can they just say that now, and then what you just expected to go?
50:47You're taking it away from me.
50:48I have to go.
50:48Why do you have to go?
50:50Oh, God, we is cursed like hate.
50:55So you're going to leave the present house?
50:57Governor Wise says so.
51:02Don't!
51:03These white devils, they've just given us away like we is nothing but animals.
51:09Days, I work my fingers to the bone in the night.
51:13Days, I spread my legs, and then I breed more field hands.
51:19What are you saying, Tallulah?
51:22What are you saying, Tallulah?
51:24Three months, my bloods don't flow.
51:29Well, you have my baby.
51:32It's gonna come out, dog.
51:34It don't matter which way you masterwashed his property.
51:38No, no, no, no.
51:41No.
51:54Oh, my.
51:55Our babies are back.
51:58The rat's letting them visit?
52:00They're home where they belong.
52:07Little train box.
52:08Grandma!
52:09My little train box.
52:11Welcome home, girls.
52:13If you will.
52:14Oh, I'm ready.
52:27I saw what you did tonight.
52:30I'm betting you were serving inside the gray house.
52:33Very clever.
52:34You did?
52:36You were at the party?
52:38I was in queue for your last hands.
52:41How intriguing.
52:43Mm-hmm.
52:44Now, I assume you have other placements in government and army headquarters.
52:51In process.
52:52However, there is one corridor of information in which Mother and I do not have entry.
52:59Rothels.
53:01Frequented by inebriated, loose-lipped rebel officers.
53:06Now, you expect me to bet every whore in town until I'm trying to sympathize him.
53:14Well, there's service and then there's duty.
53:17You discern the difference.
53:18Well, I'll have the baker do the necessary connoissants.
53:25He's more comfortable with life on the street than I.
53:29I do look forward to a proper introduction someday.
53:33Master Rock, perhaps then you'll save me a spot on your dance card.
53:54You'll find you out, they're going to lynch you.
53:56You know that, don't you?
53:58I expect so.
54:00They took the airport from me.
54:01I don't know what I'm going to do if something happens to you.
54:05Man, Lou, sure got some big ideas.
54:08No.
54:09This was my idea.
54:11My grandiose scheme to bring down the South.
54:15But what exactly can one Negro girl do against the whole of the Confederate government?
54:19A Negro girl smart as you?
54:21She can do about anything she wants to do.
54:24I'm no Nat Turner.
54:26Who's he?
54:28Black man asleep, just like us.
54:30Rose up the freest people, right here in Virginia.
54:33Well, what happened to him?
54:35They hanged him, cut off his head, dissected his body, and then filleted the skin off of him.
54:39And they do the same thing to you, they catch you.
54:42We don't know if y'all hear about such things.
54:45I read about them.
54:47I'm not sure I'd like this reading.
54:49If it'd fill your head with such awfulness.
55:05What's this?
55:07My nightmares.
55:09Yes.
55:17You know, when I hit Lumpkin, it felt good.
55:22Yeah, it felt good to me.
55:23I wish I'd have snapped him upside the head.
55:26I've been running from that rage ever since I can remember.
55:30Yeah.
55:37And, you know, I can't even remember what my mother looks like.
55:46Only just the touch of her lips when she kissed me goodbye.
55:52I took from my mammy.
55:55Right as I was born.
55:58You lucky.
55:59At least the Van Luce treat you like family.
56:02No.
56:03No matter how good the Van Luce treat me,
56:06this world still belongs to them and not us.
56:09I went to the other side of the world to realize what I already knew.
56:12There will be no place for us unless we make a stand.
56:17God don't give us no more than we can bear.
56:20And you can bear this.
56:23Reverend Garnett did say that the Lord has a plan for me.
56:27That's right.
56:28Although if I do meet God,
56:30I like to ask him about his methods.
56:36Girl.
56:39I'm going to miss you, Uncle Isham.
56:43When times get really hard,
56:46you're going to be right here in my heart to get me through.
56:51And that's where I'll always be.
56:54Right now.
57:04Wait.
57:09How can I help?
57:14Learn to read.
