Transcript
00:01Fare thee well, if I never ever see you anymore, fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well, I
00:21meet you now, fare thee well.
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, why does a child have to die to be free?
00:49We don't have to die to be free!
00:51We don't have to die to be free!
00:51Come on, come on.
01:00Come on, come on.
01:22We're so sorry for all you've endured.
01:26Hope you'll 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.
03:51If we leave evil 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 would 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 haven't 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?
04:55Should have overthrown 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 spy network?
05:11Instead of runaways, we shuttle messages up north.
05:15We position loyal patriots to pass information at strategic points.
05:20Confederate headquarters.
05:22Brothels, camps, hospitals.
05:24Well, why not infiltrate the Grey House?
05:28Once President Davis arrives, I assure you, we will know what he is having for breakfast.
05:35Now 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'll take.
06:01That is the risk we all take.
06:08I am dubious on your proposal.
06:12I shall let you know.
06:13Quick!
06:24One hundred!
06:26One hundred!
06:27One!
06:28One!
06:29Oh!
06:30Got yourself a good bargain there, Zeke.
06:33No!
06:34No!
06:35Come on!
06:36Oh!
06:38Oh!
06:39We got a prime young buck here, folks.
06:42Go by the tag of Jeremiah.
06:45Experience bomb, man.
06:55You know what?
06:56A few dollars more, I'm going to throw in the missing.
07:00Come on.
07:02And you know what?
07:03A little pickin' in it, too.
07:05That's a real good bargain, folks.
07:08Huntin'!
07:09You son of a bitch, you'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 twenty-five.
07:17One hundred twenty-five.
07:18Two hundred twenty-five.
07:20Two hundred twenty-five.
07:20Three hundred.
07:21Three hundred.
07:21Four 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.
07:28Down!
07:30Gentlemen!
07:30Gentlemen!
07:31This here is a genuine Virginia-born, Virginia-bred donkey.
07:35One hundred dollars.
07:40That's a good one, Mr. Wise.
07:43I was about ready to have my boys toss you out.
07:46A hundred for the girl.
07:48Sell the buck.
07:49We don't need him.
07:50Or the pickin' in it.
07:51No, no, no.
07:52Please, mess us up.
07:53Take us all.
07:54Let your people go off for your wings.
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.
08:03I ain't being mocked or nothing, but, uh, they'd work longer and harder if you just keep them all together,
08:11you know.
08:13Just a girl.
08:14She'll do fine.
08:15Five hundred dollars.
08:17That's good.
08:18For the whole family.
08:19That's even better.
08:22Five hundred spoon to mess.
08:24Do I hear six hundred?
08:26Five hundred five.
08:28I got five hundred going once.
08:30Going twice.
08:31Sold.
08:32For the whole family.
08:43Why God means it's black.
08:45She say, because that's the way it is.
08:50Chosen.
08:51Next pen.
08:52That one, that one, and that one.
08:54Hurry!
08:56Can't let that slave master see us.
08:59Not after we used to dock him that day.
09:02That man's swollen. He'll kill us both.
09:05Oh, he can't tell one donkey from another.
09:10If you say so, he's all the same, the white folk.
09:17I am forever grateful for you saving me and my Yule.
09:23I'm awful sorry. I wasn't this soon to help that pole.
09:30I'm sorry, Father.
09:33Derrick Hope!
09:40Goddammit, Cap Pop, put your lollygagher. We got niggas now.
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.
10:03For going free us?
10:04If I sign them.
10:06Well, where we gonna go, sir? We 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.
10:23Get in.
10:24Get in.
10:30Uh, William, what are you doing back there?
10:33You trying to hide or something?
10:41Well, the CMT.
10:43You.
10:45Move it.
10:47Let's go.
10:49You ain't fooling nobody, Junior.
10:52Except your old maid sister.
10:59Yeah.
10:59Papa!
10:59Get your ass back here!
11:02Goddammit, William.
11:03What's going on?
11:04You acting like you've seen a ghost.
11:06Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
11:07You know how Mrs. Eliza is even later.
11:10She'll be more upset if you kill her only son.
11:12Now, slow down.
11:13Mary Jane.
11:15William Lumpkin's slave hunter saw me.
11:18You recognize me.
11:20How do you know he recognized you?
11:21I just know.
11:23I'll tell Miss Lizzie.
11:26I need your old gargum clothes.
11:28What?
11:29What are you 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 couldn't live with myself.
11:54Mary Jane, have you got the special wagon ready?
12:07William.
12:07William.
12:08Eula.
12:09I'm taking the trail.
12:11It's too risky on the road.
12:14You all right in there?
12:15Yeah, I can make me a risk.
12:17When we get to the farm, you must proceed on foot to the railways.
12:21Look for a green kachip hanging on the plow by the barn.
12:25But if you see a red one...
12:26Turn back and run.
12:27No.
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...
12:49Going on back out to my farm.
12:51Trying to get a fur 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's empty.
13:08Set them for a few taters and turnips and so?
13:13I said, check the wagon.
13:33Ain't nothing back here.
13:52Evolutionists smugglers.
13:54You're up!
13:57Look out!
13:57You look out!
14:01You look out!
14:03How the...
14:07You look out!
14:26Oh, my God.
14:44Oh, my God.
15:14Oh, my God.
15:23Oh, my God.
15:50Oh, my God.
15:54Oh, my God.
16:29Oh, my God.
16:36Oh, my God.
16:53Oh, my God.
17:27Oh, my God.
17:32Take cover where you can.
17:34We got them running, boys.
17:35Yeah.
17:36Cut them off.
17:37Soak around and flank them.
17:42Carter, come on.
17:43Get away!
18:30Come on out here.
18:33We've got to surround you.
18:39You and the Major, come on out.
18:42Your pen's empty.
18:51Welcome to the Old Dominion, Captain.
18:54I've been waiting for you.
19:04I think we have the advantage.
19:18What's the message, General?
19:21Mr. President.
19:23General Jackson says that the Yanks ran like dogs.
19:29Perhaps now the North will lose hard and negotiate for peace.
19:34And they have no choice, sir.
19:35Yes, sir.
19:37No choice, sir.
19:41That's a naive assessment.
19:43Our troops are proving only slightly less green and disorganized than Mr. Lincoln's.
19:47The generals do not believe we must press the attack, parry the enemy all the way to Washington.
19:52We lose the advantage of fighting our own ground and have to face their entrenched order.
19:56To take their capital, they have to sue for peace.
19:58We make quick work of this war.
20:00Mr. President.
20:00You cannot confuse the fantasies about putting 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!
20:18Welcome home!
20:24Welcome home!
20:25Welcome home!
20:34Welcome home!
20:35By having the documentary?
20:36I believe it was akkor and thank you!
20:37It was your μije!
20:41Yeah!
20:43We gonna cheer y'all sẽ advance you each other after.
20:48Give it up!
20:49And I'll let you go west強.
20:51I think we're gonna do this though. There's a whole dollar. I don't know that we're gonna prefer that one.
21:00Let me take this
21:19I know that Amanda and I do the same as you were mine. We are Southern gentlemen Jasper. That is
21:25not how we behave. Oh, would you stop with that? I'm a proud Virginian through and through. As such, it
21:35is incumbent upon all of us to act accordingly. Those men are soldiers too.
21:57Oh, my God.
22:46Oh, my God.
22:49Oh, my God.
23:16What are you doing?
23:18Oh, my God.
23:55Oh, my God.
24:02Oh, my God.
24:31Oh, my God.
24:34Oh, my God.
24:35Oh, my God.
24:38Oh, my God.
24:58Oh, my God.
25:11Oh, my God.
25:20Oh, my God.
25:21Oh, my God.
25:26Oh, my God.
25:29Oh, my God.
25:42Oh, my God.
25:49Too often left, where spinsters sit in rows
25:54Why won't the men propose, mama?
25:57Why won't the men propose?
26:01They won't, they won't, they won't, they won't propose, mama
26:08They won't, they won't, they won't propose
26:29To our glorious new confederacy
26:33A hardwinkle for the Yankees Eagles!
26:46Pity, I can only accommodate one of yours
26:50Unless y'all's real good friends, you know what I'm saying?
26:54Seems you fellas understand the value of an auction
26:59Too big!
27:01Too big, well I won at least twice that I'm in
27:04I'm a god of men and tricks and trades
27:06I can bake pie, I can make grown men cry
27:08Gotta get three!
27:15Well I didn't expect to see you in such low company
27:18Now that you're our big and important secretary of war
27:21No, too big to find you
27:23Curious appointment
27:25Louisiana Bayou lawyer with all the prudence of a whoremonger
27:29And you
27:30Pay on your mind
27:32I require only your attention
27:34Let me go find a man up here
27:36I want to give him up three bits
27:38Can I get a dollar?
27:39Two bits!
27:41Keep it!
27:43You're too old and dirty for a man anyway
27:46So come up for us
27:47Get him out here
27:48Three dollars!
27:50Get him out here
28:11Mrs. Van Loo
28:14I have a delivery for you and your daughter
28:17Oh well, thank you
28:18She's not receiving any visitors at the moment
28:21Baked especially for this household
28:24I'll be sure and pass that along to her
28:27From our mutual friend
28:35Shuttleman is ready to proceed
28:39Well he took his time
28:41After Bull Run he's prepared to try anything that might hasten the end of the war
28:52You can tell you're a shadow man
28:54That I will respond to him
29:04Ladies
29:11Sometimes
29:12Charles, I don't know where we get the strength to keep going.
29:20As Mary Jane would say, rage.
29:29Miss Lizzie, I called her here to see you.
29:51Elizabeth, you all right?
29:54Although I suffer as my beloved country suffers, I am of sound body and mind.
30:01In fine fiddle, as they say.
30:05That 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 of greater beauty, integrity, or spirit.
30:25A woman who has opened my heart like never before.
30:29But...
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.
30:41Tragically, I cannot abandon friends made over a lifetime on my home, and it's our...
30:48No, Hampton.
30:50War 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.
31:17Yeah, 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.
31:35Who's 서en knows?
31:38Come on, ma'am.
31:39Come on.
31:39converge
31:39Come on, now.
31:54Come on.
31:56Come on.
32:44Oh, you need to let that go, my friend.
32:49Oh, look here.
32:50Look who's looking at you.
32:54God, man, she's a married woman.
32:56Who recently moved into the Exchange Hotel?
32:59Come on, that's a scam.
33:06Hey, better go easy on that, John.
33:09Too many words there.
33:36Hey, welcome home, President Davis.
33:39Good to see you, Mr. President Davis.
33:42Mr. President, welcome to Richmond.
33:46Yes, if my nephew has perished, unfortunately, I need to send condolences to his mother.
33:51Hello there.
33:52How are you, sir?
33:53Nice to see you.
33:54Thank you for coming here.
33:55Nice to see you.
33:59Nice to see you.
34:00Oh, it's Chase Morton.
34:04They turned from Washington.
34:06So, how is your baboon charm disarmes the English?
34:09A word, please.
34:12And as much as your theatrical peregrinations take a deep into Northern Territory, affording
34:17you unique access, President Davis asked me to inquire, should the occasional message
34:23document need to be passed on?
34:24Anything for the South, dear boy.
34:34Look at that, peddling her wares right out here in public.
34:51It'll be alright.
35:01Friends, friends and fellow citizens, we have decisively won our first major battle against
35:09the Northern invasion, driving back the enemy to preserve the sacred soil of Virginia.
35:21I do believe we may have broken the backbone of the invasion and the spirit of the North.
35:31If God's fear, the English 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.
36:09Bitch him.
36:09He's a goddamn spy.
36:12That's the link of stakes that a house divided cannot stand.
36:16And for once, we in the South agreed with it.
36:18We built our own house.
36:19Right?
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...
36:43I need...
36:44I need...
36:45I need...
36:46I need...
36:46I need...
36:46I need...
36:47I need...
36:49The issue now is whether these two separate, proud houses cannot only stand but prosper.
37:02I said yes.
37:04Yes, we can.
37:19Yes, we can.
37:21Where is this?
38:18Where is this?
38:20Clark Douglas from Baltimore tried to assassinate Lincoln.
38:23How do they recognize you?
38:25I'm the one that arrested him.
38:27Baltimore.
38:28I 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 hear the Southway friend yield, yield, nay.
38:48They will be daunted by the thunder of the rebel girl.
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, we formally welcome you to the proud first capital of the Confederacy.
39:57Come on, 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 Davises, our president, with Judah by his side.
40:26Every 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.
40:40Douglas Dixie!
40:47Let the whole world know, despite the dogs of war, Richmond danced.
41:11I do worry about John's reputation.
41:15His absence will be the talk of 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 sweeter than for having you in.
41:44Perhaps, if we are to trust in our president's bold assurances,
41:48it might ward 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.
42:25Stay safe, old friend.
43:06Jim, we're out of view. We are living in a very disloyal 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.
43:25We went back and put him under observation.
43:28As well as known insurgents such as Duncan Brodnack's Chronicle.
43:32And what about the opinion agent Van Looz?
43:35They've 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.
43:52Enjoy your evening.
44:07Eugene, 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.
44:34Mrs. Van Looz, Jeff and I want to thank you so kindly for organizing Mr. Love for gathering.
44:40Really, all the ladies contributed.
44:42It was the least we could do.
44:45This is such a surprise, Elizabeth.
44:47You were so outspoken against secession.
44:50That's right.
44:51At first, I, too, was obliged to counsel my fellow Southerners against this great divide.
44:55No 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.
45:12We 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.
45:35You know, it still don't feel right coming off my tongue.
45:39Oh, darling, isn't that marvelous?
45:43Yeah, Mr. President, I beg to argue with talking to my appreciation as well.
45:47Well, it's well known your coach has run off.
45:51Except mine.
45:52He'll do you proud.
45:54That's the most generous of you.
45:56So kind of all of you.
45:57Appreciate it.
45:59Mommy!
46:00Mommy!
46:01Read to us!
46:02Read us a big time story!
46:05Caroline!
46:05Mommy!
46:06You do it.
46:07I have a headache.
46:08You know I can't read, Miss Lowrit.
46:10Then talk about the pictures.
46:13Come on, girl.
46:16Hold on, Mr. Snow.
46:35Where, Mr. Arsenal?
46:39Up here!
46:40Who is that?
46:42Identify yourself.
46:44You're not attending the president's, darling?
46:47Uh, given your sister-in-law's presence there, I chose to enjoy the company of John Barley Court.
46:56Oh.
46:59Dishonored breath can never stay.
47:04The girl I left behind.
47:06I'm uncertain whether to alert the authorities.
47:10Oh.
47:11Oh.
47:13Oh, I could pour you a glass of this exquisite brandy.
47:17Well, I do enjoy the taste of a stout brandy.
47:22I won't do it.
47:48Sir, up.
47:51Excuse me.
47:57I swear to you, sir. Excuse me.
48:01Mr. Secretary.
48:02I understand you would like to volunteer to be a courier for us.
48:06That is correct, sir.
48:08Mr. Stoke, the reuse vouch 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.
48:18The Lady of the Sons of Liberty secessionists.
48:21I have worked in supporting 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, but...
48:34...it's part of the secessionist movement.
48:42If we don't seal the doors and set the place of fire,
48:45we could topple the entire Confederacy in one blow.
48:49I don't want my beautiful Richmond burned down in the process.
48:54Someone I can trust would be invaluable to me.
48:59You may count on me.
49:02I have every confidence in you.
49:06Oh.
49:08Good night, Christmas.
49:15Mr. Reeves.
49:18I have congratulated you on your appointment as our new Deputy Provost Marshal.
49:24Well, I thank you, ma'am.
49:27Hmm.
49:29Missing this book.
49:37I shall be the eyes and the ears of our fair city,
49:42making sure those in the act of iniquity will have meat to fear.
49:47We shall all sleep better with you watching over us, Mr. Reeves.
49:52We bid you adieu.
49:54I'll oppa流-y.
50:10Yes!
50:11Hampton?
50:12Good night.
50:14Good night.
50:15Good night.
50:39I don't know what you mean.
50:40I have to go for it.
50:42How can they just stay there now?
50:44And then, what, you just expected to go?
50:47You're taking it away from me.
50:48I said you have to go.
50:49Why 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
51:06like we is nothing but animals.
51:09Days, I work my fingers to the bone in the nights.
51:14I 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.
51:30Well, you have my baby.
51:32It's gonna come out, dog.
51:34Well, it don't matter which way you masterwise this property.
51:39No, no, no, no!
51:41No!
51:54Oh, my.
51:56Our babies are back.
51:58The rats letting them visit?
52:00They're home where they belong.
52:07Grandma.
52:08Grandma!
52:09Grandma!
52:10My little dreamers.
52:11Grandma!
52:12If you do.
52:14Follow on me.
52:28I saw what you did tonight.
52:30Embedding your servant inside the Greyhouse very clever.
52:34You did?
52:36You were at the party?
52:38I was in queue for your last hands.
52:40How tricking.
52:43Mm-hmm.
52:44Now, I assume you have other placements in government and army headquarters.
52:51In process.
52:53However, there is one corridor of information in which Mother and I do not have entry.
52:59Rothens.
53:01Frequented by inebriated, loose-lipped rebel officers.
53:06Now, you expect me to bet every whore in town until I find a sympathizer.
53:14Well, there's service and then there's duty.
53:17You discern the difference.
53:19Well, I'll have the baker do the necessary reconnaissance.
53:26He's more comfortable with life on the street than I.
53:30I do look forward to a proper introduction someday.
53:33Mr. Roth.
53:34Perhaps then you'll save me a spot on your dance card.
53:54If they find you out, they're gonna lynch you.
53:56You know that, don't you?
53:57I expect so.
54:00He took the airport from me.
54:01I don't know what I'm gonna 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, she can do about anything she wants to do.
54:24I'm no Nat Turner.
54:26Who's he?
54:28Black man, a slave.
54:29Just like us.
54:30Rose up the freest people.
54:32Right here in Virginia.
54:33Well, what happened to him?
54:35They hanged him.
54:36Cut off his head, dissected his body, and then filleted the skin off of him.
54:39And they do the same thing to you they, can't 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?
55:08My nightmares.
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.
55:27I've been running from that rage ever since I can remember.
55:30Yeah.
55:37And, you know,
55:41I can't even remember what my mother looks like.
55:46Only just the touch of her lips when she kissed me goodbye.
55:52I stuck for my mammy.
55:55Right as I was born.
55:58You're 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.
56:13There will be no place for us unless we make a stand.
56:16God 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.
56:36Oh, girl.
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.
57:10How can I help?
57:14Learn to read.
57:15I'm not everyone.
