00:00To be continued...
01:00I wish my plantation was doing this well.
01:16I may have to sell a few of my best slaves.
01:19Well, well, perhaps I'll buy them from you.
01:22That ought to bloom.
01:30Let me take it, Papa.
01:41Morning, Harriet.
01:42Harriet, ain't you gonna say good morning back to me?
01:58Why don't he leave Harriet alone?
02:01That's gonna be trouble.
02:02Oh, I can feel it.
02:04Now, Mama, don't start your screaming.
02:06You don't like me, do you, Harriet?
02:11Huh?
02:12Do you?
02:14I'm talking to you!
02:16You better start showing me some respect,
02:36or you're gonna feel my whip.
02:38It's all right, Mama.
02:55Everything is all right.
02:57I'm gonna run away, Papa.
03:11Tonight.
03:13Hey, if they catch you, they'll kill you.
03:17I got the right to go free, or die.
03:21How you gonna get all the way to Pennsylvania?
03:24I'm gonna take the Underground Railroad.
03:27There ain't no such thing as the Underground Railroad.
03:31It's just a made-up story.
03:34There's a Quaker woman who lives up the river.
03:37She said if I can make it there, she'll put me on board.
03:40Harriet, listen to me.
03:42I can't stay, Papa.
03:45All my life, it's been burning inside me to run,
03:49to make it to the promised land, to be free.
03:54My mind is made.
04:01Moss always grows on the north side of a tree.
04:06If the moon don't shine, you follow the moss.
04:12She understands what she's trying,
04:13but just looks like your Jane,
04:14she has tree through the forest.
04:15Otherwise, our
04:18wife is referred to the never heard of it.
04:18Rain, Kong.
04:19It doesn't matter.

08:31across the river
08:32off there mister we need to check your wagon
08:44yeah
08:55easy
10:09Welcome to Philadelphia, Miss Tubman.
10:18The last man who sent me on, he told me to come here.
10:22This is where we keep track of everyone who makes it to the north.
10:26We're sort of the main station on the Underground Railroad.
10:31Notice the Underground Railroad has many routes, stations, and conductors.
10:36You mean these are all the ways a slave can come north?
10:42We gotta tell them. Someone's gotta let the people know how it works.
10:47Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
10:51Just got a message. There's a family that's gonna be sold.
10:55The father's name is John Bowley.
10:57Dear Lord. John Bowley's my brother-in-law. My sister Mary's husband.
11:04Then, I'm gonna go back and bring out my sister and her family.
11:11Go back? Harriet, now it's free.
11:15I'll never be free till my family is, too.
11:18I realize that now.
11:19I want to be a conductor.
11:22Harriet, conductors just move people along.
11:26They don't go in and bring them out.
11:29Especially if they're a runaway slave.
11:32It's too dangerous.
11:34You're trying to scare me, Mr. Steele.
11:36But I don't scare easy.
11:38I'm getting my family out.
11:44Ben, I think you know Mr. Barrett.
11:47Your girl Mary works on his plantation.
11:51How do you do, sir?
11:53Don't you how do me, you old snake.
11:57Mr. Barrett's upset.
11:59Mary and her whole family disappeared last night.
12:03You know anything about it?
12:05No, sir.
12:07You lying snake, I'll kill you.
12:10Now, just hold on, Silas.
12:12If Ben says he didn't know, he didn't know.
12:15Of course, Ben, if you ever did lie to me about something like this,
12:21I'd have to hang you.
12:24You understand that, right?
12:26Right?
12:26And I'm going to keep on going back till my whole family's free.
12:44Harriet, I cannot stop thee.
12:47But wait on thy brothers and thy parents.
12:51Brother McKim's right.
12:52It's too dangerous to go back to thy old plantation.
12:57If thou get caught, it puts the entire railroad in danger.
13:03All right.
13:04In the meantime, I'll practice.
13:08I'll practice by bringing my people to the promised land.
13:13Harriet, thou art a modern Moses.
13:16Shackles and chains will break someday.
13:25Courage and hope will find the way.
13:28Nothing can hold the heart that's gotta be free.
13:34Now that you've seen the promised land.
13:45You've got to go and lend a hand.
13:48Cause you know that all God's children gotta be free.
13:56Gotta be free.
13:58No more sorrow for tomorrow.
14:12No more tears when each day's done.
14:19We'll be singing.
14:25Pears be ringing.
14:28When that day of freedom comes.
14:38When freedom comes.
14:41What you doing with all that food?
14:46Now, don't fret yourself, Rick.
14:49I'm just helping out some hungry folks, is all.
14:52I'm just helping.
15:13I'm just helping out some of this kind of food.
15:14I'm just helping out stuff.
15:16You're helping me.
15:16I'm just helping my friends.
15:17Let's go.
15:18Let's go.
15:19Come.
15:20Come.
15:21Papa?
15:22Harriet?
15:24Is that you?
15:26What you doing, Papa?
15:28When Master Thompson comes to ask me if I've seen anything,
15:32I want to say no with a clear conscience.
15:37Can't tell a lie for beings.
15:40Look at me.
15:42The daddy of Moses.
15:45I knew you'd come for the boys someday.
15:47I'm coming for you and Mom next.
15:50No, no, don't risk nothing for us.
15:54You've done enough.
15:55It ain't enough till we're all together and free.
15:59We'll all be free in heaven.
16:02And that's where we'll all meet again.
16:05Now, let me hug my children one last time.
16:20They're gone.
16:28Hey, Tay.
16:28Did you help your boys escape?
16:48I never saw them.
16:53Your footprints go from the house to the shed, Ben.
16:56Their footprints go from the shed to the woods.
17:00I'm not stupid.
17:02Wait a minute.
17:03There's a fourth set of footprints.
17:06Moses was here.
17:07No.
17:08The prints are too small.
17:12I'd say it was a woman.
17:14No female slaves missing off my plantation.
17:18Wait a second.
17:21Moses is a woman.
17:23Ain't that so, Ben?
17:27A strong-willed woman.
17:30A woman who knows the way north.
17:32A woman who used to work these very fields.
17:36It's Harriet, ain't it?
17:38I'll whip you till you tell me Harriet is Moses.
17:41I had a dream.
17:56My pa's in trouble.
17:57We haven't gotten any word of that.
17:59He's in trouble, and I'm going after him.
18:02There's a $40,000 reward on your head.
18:06Don't care if it's a million.
18:08I'm going.
18:09Your parents are too old.
18:11They can't even walk to Pennsylvania, let alone run.
18:16Not all dreams mean something, Hattie.
18:19This one did.
18:21I prayed about it, and the Lord said, go.
18:24He also told me there'd be $20 waiting here to help me on my way.
18:28Well, it can't be the Lord talking.
18:30We don't have $20.
18:33Oh, Harriet.
18:34I just got a letter from a stationmaster down thy way.
18:37Hey, I'm afraid it's bad news.
18:42I know.
18:43My pa's in trouble.
18:45Any money in that envelope?
18:48$20?
18:49They don't call her Moses for nothing.
19:03I know.
19:11Oh, no.
19:25I say we forget Ben's trial altogether.
19:38Let's hang the old snake here and now.
19:41Psst. Psst.
19:47I thought I told you to stay in the northern.
19:51God had a different plan.
19:53Where's Mama?
19:55They moved her off the plantation.
19:58Shantytown.
19:59You alright?
20:00They whipped me good, Hattie.
20:03I'll never keep up with you.
20:05Just go.
20:07God didn't send me to fail.
20:08There's gotta be a way.
20:20Steady, Dolly.
20:22You remember me.
20:24Ah...
20:34Ah...
20:36Let's go.
21:06Slowly now.
21:36What?
21:38Go, darling.
21:56Get down, Pa.
22:03What is it?
22:09It's Harriet.
22:11She's got Ben.
22:12I told you, you should've hanged him.
22:14You should've hanged him.

23:48Between 1849 and 1860, Harriet Tubman risked her life on 17 separate missions into the
24:11south.
24:11In the end, she helped more than 300 slaves escape.
24:15During the Civil War, Harriet served as a spy and a nurse for the Union Army.
24:23When the war was over, she turned her own home into a refuge for the sick and destitute.
24:35Harriet Tubman died on March 10, 1913, at the age of 93.
24:41The Civil War
24:47Oh, oh, oh, oh
