00:05:31I think if we head right down the middle, we can pitch them off.
00:05:34Very well then.
00:05:35Carry on.
00:05:36There's a camp.
00:05:43There's a camp.
00:05:51Just over that hill.
00:05:53Come on.
00:06:14Get the ladder.
00:06:28Do it.
00:06:30Now go.
00:06:32Retreat.
00:06:33Retreat.
00:06:39You got to do it for your country.
00:06:42Do it for the South.
00:06:44Do it for me.
00:06:47It's affordable.
00:06:49Go, Dean.
00:06:49We can't make it.
00:06:50Go back.
00:06:54I looked at him at you.
00:07:00Now, if you can't get it to him, go to the camel farm.
00:07:05Head north.
00:07:06Just outside Nelsonville.
00:07:07Captain McCormick, they're still heading north, but we cut off most of them.
00:07:25Excellent.
00:07:26You know, if you'd have told me a month ago we'd be fighting graybacks here in Ohio, I wouldn't have believed you.
00:07:32As a matter of fact, I'd have had you tarred and feathered.
00:07:36No offense.

00:07:59Oh, my God.
00:08:29Where the hell you been, you mick bastard?
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00I'll bet you General Morgan and the Osari band of rebels wish they'd never cross the Ohio.
00:09:05Yeah!
00:09:06Lord knows Osari bastards would love to get back.
00:09:09He got away with a few stragglers, but we rounded up most of them, thanks to Lieutenant Hatcher's men.
00:09:14Speaking of Hatcher, where is that devil?
00:09:16I'm not sure, sir.
00:09:17Eh, no matter.
00:09:19We have just one more thing to do.
00:09:21Get drunk as a skunk.
00:09:22Yeah!
00:09:23Yeah, whiskey just scares his hen's teeth, sir.
00:09:25Yeah!
00:09:26All right, all right.
00:09:27Pipe down.
00:09:28I know you boys deserve it, but first things first.
00:09:30I say we have a victory photograph taken to send back to the President.
00:09:35Where's Benjamin?
00:09:37Mr. Harris?
00:09:38Mr. Harris?
00:09:39Yes, sir?
00:09:42Gather up your things and set up over by my tent.
00:09:46Private, go help the photographer.
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50Do you know how to walk, Private?
00:09:56Am I in your way?
00:09:59Salute!
00:10:00Master, get over here, you old dog!
00:10:04Good Lord, man, isn't that contraption ready yet?
00:10:15Just now, sir.
00:10:17Let's get the show on the road, Ben.
00:10:20Make your boss, Mr. Brady, proud.
00:10:31All done.
00:10:32Thank you, sir.
00:10:33Thank you, sir.
00:10:38Men!
00:10:41Tonight you'll be delighted to hear that we are sparing the usual inedible hardtack.
00:10:45Some of the lovely ladies from Pomeroy come bearing homemade venison stew.
00:10:50And that's all they're bringing, so keep your grubby paws off them.
00:10:55Also, there are two other armies camp nearby, so you're going to see a lot of strange faces.
00:11:01But just remember, old Morgan himself is known to stroll into town disguised as a man in bloom.
00:11:06So keep your wits about you.
00:11:08Dismissed!
00:11:17Private, excuse me.
00:11:19People don't pay me much never mind around here, but I did want to do this properly.
00:11:25My name is Benjamin.
00:11:27Benjamin.
00:11:28Daniel.
00:11:29Nice to meet you.
00:11:30So, Benjamin, when do we get to see this?
00:11:33I'm just getting ready to develop it now, gentlemen.
00:11:35Well, hop to it, Ben.
00:11:36This war's almost over.
00:11:37Yes, sir.
00:11:38Oh, my God.
00:11:39Oh.
00:11:40Oh.
00:11:41A little heavy lamb.
00:11:42You know what happened?
00:11:43I'm sorry.
00:11:44Oh!
00:11:45Oh!
00:11:46Oh!
00:11:47Oh!
00:11:48Alright.
00:11:49Damn!
00:11:50Oh!
00:11:51Oh!
00:11:52Oh!
00:11:53Oh, oh!
00:11:54Haha!
00:11:55Oh!
00:11:57Haha!
00:11:58Haha!
00:12:00Oh, ha ha!
00:12:01Damn!
00:12:02We did it.
00:12:03Lieutenant. Yes, sir.
00:12:08I'm over.
00:12:22Don't worry, Drake.
00:12:24I found him.
00:12:25I'm just waiting for an opening.
00:12:27Then all we have to do is hop on a boat and sail right back to Kentucky.
00:12:32You'll be okay.
00:12:36I sure hope so.
00:13:11Yeah, or do I know?
00:13:14Yes.
00:13:18The captain wasn't right.
00:13:43Yeah, didn't you say they caught them Rebs down there going through our supply tent?
00:13:47They have some nerve of them.
00:13:49Well, they thought they could get away with it, getting all gussied up and blue.
00:13:52That didn't work at all, you know yourself.
00:13:55You can smell a Reb anytime, anywhere.
00:13:57That smells like your grits.
00:13:59You want to smell something powerful, you wait until you smell them Rebs hanging from the trees in the morning sun.
00:14:04Who caught them anyway?
00:14:05Well, that was Lieutenant Hatcher.
00:14:07You know that man's got a nose, he can smell them varmints every time, any place.
00:14:11Oh, I'll be damned.
00:14:17Oh, say, could you please give me a hand with this?
00:14:43Sure.
00:14:44Sure.
00:14:46Let me get the plates out.
00:14:50Let me get the plates out.
00:14:51Let me get the plates out.
00:14:52Let me get the plates out.
00:14:56Courier just brought me this, says here that some of the dispatches we've been
00:15:13finding on Morgan's spies contain false information meant to mislead us, but that
00:15:20does not discount the value of you capturing them, Lieutenant. The spy is a
00:15:25spy no matter what they're carrying. Well, thank you, sir. You're unusually quiet
00:15:34tonight, Lieutenant. You feeling yourself? I'm fine, Captain. I just have a lot on my mind.
00:15:40First, I take a solution of pyrogolic acid and I wash the whole plate in it and swish it
00:15:51around and then after a few seconds the image appears. You know, I still don't
00:15:58understand how an image can be pulled out of thin air and put on a piece of glass.
00:16:01You know, I used to carry around a picture of my ma, but I lost it somewhere.
00:16:11Where are you from? Kentucky. I'm glad I'm from here. Well, originally, but I moved my dear
00:16:21wife and I to New York so that I could get into the picture-taking business and work for
00:16:24Matthew Brady. Is she there now? Well, her name is Rachel. She was the smartest, prettiest woman I
00:16:37ever knew. We were at the first battle of Bull Run. We went out there with all the other
00:16:43picnickers and everyone to see the spectacle from atop the hill. There was a band, children played,
00:16:49and all the politicians were there to toast the supposed first victory of the Union Army.
00:16:55Rachel insisted that we leave, but I couldn't. I was hired to photograph the whole affair.
00:17:01She seemed to sense the danger. I was desperate trying to earn enough money because I wanted to
00:17:08buy her a proper wedding ring. I wanted to replace that cheap piece of tin she wore around her finger.
00:17:12Well, it wasn't long till the merriment soon turned to horror. The Rebs charged right at us.
00:17:18The people began to stampede off into the woods. Pitnick baskets were smashed. Wine goblets were
00:17:24shattered in the chaos. My dear wife hit her head on a rock. By the time I found her lying there in
00:17:32the ivy, she'd already breathed her last sweet breath. That's the last picture I ever took of her.
00:17:41It's all I've got to remember her by. I keep it with me always.
00:17:47Um, would you like to try putting some varnish on a plate? Sure.
00:17:56Um, I must have left it in my other case. I'll be right back.
00:18:03I'll be right back.
00:18:10I'll be right back.
00:18:13All right.
00:18:17Lieutenant Hatcher had that fellow moved.
00:19:17My brother Daniel's got it.
00:19:21Where is he?
00:19:22In camp someplace.
00:19:24And why don't I have it?
00:19:25I'm sure he's got his reasons.
00:19:27Reasons.
00:19:29Tell me what he looks like.
00:19:31It's short, blue eyes and reddish hair.
00:19:35Where the hell were you two in Kentucky?
00:19:38Your army moved.
00:19:39We couldn't help it.
00:19:41This whole thing's Morgan's fault.
00:19:43Conceited jackass.
00:19:44He's an exemplary soldier.
00:19:46Son of a bitch got the shit kicked out of him today.
00:19:48This is unacceptable that you gave the letter to your brother.
00:19:51I did what I had to do.
00:19:52The whole operation depended on this letter.
00:19:55And I can't depend on either one of you two.
00:19:58I had gotten shot.
00:20:00I gave it to my brother to take to you.
00:20:03Don't worry yourself, none.
00:20:04My brother can be trusted.
00:20:05He's dedicated this out just like I am.
00:20:07My life's on the line.
00:20:09And I don't appreciate complications.
00:20:11This whole thing better go smooth as a baby's ass or we'll both be swinging by our necks.
00:20:16What are you in this for?
00:20:17Money.
00:20:18Why else?
00:20:19You're a true patriot, sir.
00:20:21Don't judge me, you snake.
00:20:23This whole war's a sham and you know it.
00:20:25I'm taking care of myself.
00:20:32Good evening, Captain.
00:20:34Lieutenant, what the hell is going on here?
00:20:37I needed some quiet so I left the party.
00:20:40Well, I heard it all.
00:20:41I'm sorry, sir.
00:20:43I'm giving you one chance and one chance only to explain what you just said in that tent there.
00:20:48Captain, I assure you, you need not worry about me.
00:20:54I know how it must have sounded, but I'm no traitor.
00:20:58Go on.
00:20:59Earlier, I discovered that soldier in there as a spy.
00:21:04Instead of tossing him in the prison compound, I decided to trick him into believing that I was on his side.
00:21:09He claims he has knowledge of a very important Confederate letter.
00:21:12That's quite a tale, Lieutenant.
00:21:15It's true, Captain.
00:21:17Have I ever let you down?
00:21:20This is a very important matter.
00:21:22I can't afford to be ill-informed.
00:21:24Never keep me in the dark like this again.
00:21:27I'll take it from here.
00:21:29Captain, what do I get for my part?
00:21:34Your part.
00:21:35For bringing this to your attention.
00:21:37Good night's sleep, knowing you've served your country well.
00:21:40You and I both know my rank advancement is long overdue.
00:21:44You'll serve where you're needed, and I need you here.
00:21:49I've tolerated your bullheaded incompetence long enough, old man.
00:21:53If you won't promote me, I'll take matters into my own hands.
00:21:58Who's there?
00:22:07Don't worry.
00:22:08It's me, Daniel.
00:22:11Come here.
00:22:12Now you listen to me.
00:22:14I want that letter.
00:22:15So help me God, I'll gut you like I just gutted a captain here.
00:22:19Hey, hey!

00:25:31I want to help you out. I know you're innocent.
00:25:34I saw the killer.
00:25:36Who is it?
00:25:37Lieutenant Hatcher.
00:25:39He knows I saw him, so he's gunning for me.
00:25:41I can't believe it.
00:25:42And no one's gonna believe me either.
00:25:44So I gotta get you out of there so we can both make a run for it.
00:25:48Turn around.
00:25:54Hold on.
00:25:57Hey fellas, it's Private Gibbons.
00:25:59Daniel, is that you?
00:26:00Yeah, you guys can break loose.
00:26:01All you have to do is knock over this shoddy Yankee handiwork.
00:26:04There's only two guards over there.
00:26:06All you have to do is push really hard.
00:26:07I know you southern boys can do it.
00:26:09One.
00:26:10Two.
00:26:11Three.
00:26:12Hey!
00:26:18Come on Ben, let's go!
00:26:19Let's go!
00:26:20Let's go!
00:26:21Let's go!
00:26:34Oh!
00:26:36I was a dead man.
00:26:37You and me both.
00:26:41Hey, uh, you got your wife's picture?
00:26:45Yeah, right here.
00:26:47Now, what are we gonna do?
00:26:50I know a place, but I'm not quite sure how to get there.
00:26:53Do you know where it is?
00:26:54Nelsonville.
00:26:55I've been there.
00:26:56It's about a three day journey from here.
00:26:58Good.
00:26:59Look, I need to let you in on something, but you gotta promise to keep quiet about it.
00:27:02Daniel, you can trust me.
00:27:04I'm delivering a letter for the union, and Lieutenant Hatcher wants it awful bad.
00:27:08Bad enough that he killed the captain for it.
00:27:11What is it?
00:27:12I don't know, and I couldn't say if I did, but if you helped me get it to a farmhouse,
00:27:17the country should be grateful and you'd get your good name cleared.
00:27:20Along with you, Daniel.
00:27:21And I'll tell you, I can't wait to see that Hatcher hang for what he's done.
00:27:42Look at that.
00:27:53Huh.
00:27:54I wonder where that came from.
00:27:56What is it?
00:27:57It looks like a lady's bonnet.
00:28:01Where'd it come from?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:04My wife had one that looked like that though.
00:28:07Hm.
00:28:12Well, it sure feels nice.
00:28:15You know, yesterday, Lieutenant Allen let the Rebs bathe in the same river with the Yanks.
00:28:22And I was sitting there watching them swim in the water there all mixed up together.
00:28:28You know, I got to thinking, you really couldn't tell one side from the other.
00:28:36You must be baking in that coat.
00:28:38Yeah, it's pretty hot.
00:28:42It sure is beautiful out here.
00:29:07Get up.
00:29:12Just keep heading north.
00:29:18You best be certain.
00:29:19Look, we keep a course, we'll be alright.
00:29:22That little bastard better be on that farm.
00:29:25You mind your mouth when you're talking about my brother.
00:29:29I don't give a shit about either one of you two.
00:29:42I don't give a shit.
00:29:43No.
00:29:44You're worth it.
00:29:45That kind of thing is ok.
00:29:47That little guy who knows me.
00:29:49You've got to be on this right now.
00:29:51You sure?
00:29:52You can find something crazy.
00:30:07You don't give a shit.
00:30:08What the hell's he got ice skates for in the middle of summer?
00:30:34Must be a gift for her. And that hat we seen too. Must be one of Morgan's men.
00:30:41You know those boys will steal anything they can get their hands on. What's he
00:30:46got in there? Not much. Some powder, some flint, some jerky.
00:31:04Anything else? A compass. Hey, my brother used to have a compass
00:31:17just like this. At least we'll know off him down. He might have something good on him.
00:31:24Shit! Damn little pecker!
00:31:36I don't know anything about snake bites. I wish Drake were here. He'd know for sure.
00:31:44Hey, you there. You're on my property. Get on off now. I'm sick of you bandits. Come on, get off!
00:31:51Don't you point that thing at me, boy. Sir, this man's been injured.
00:31:55You shouldn't be here. I can be anywhere I want. You colorblind?
00:31:59Damn little shit. Get on off so I'll have to look at you no more.
00:32:03Come on, let's go. I ain't leaving Jessica as some damn negro says so.
00:32:11We don't have much choice. Hey, come on, let's go. Come on.
00:32:15Come on. Daniel, come on.
00:32:19Let's get him over to my place. I got some herbs that'll help him out.
00:32:25I've been bit a few times out here myself, but none of these snakes is poisonous.
00:32:29Your boy's just in shock. My back ain't no good no more.
00:32:33You have to get him up yourself.
00:32:35Easy does it. Easy does it.
00:32:37Come on. Easy does it. Come on. Come on, boy.
00:32:39There you go. There you go.
00:32:41Come on.
00:32:42At least he can count himself looking at that fella down there.
00:33:07So, what's this farmer's connection?
00:33:12Son's Liberty. Old Campbell's an avid supporter of Clement Vlandingham.
00:33:16Last I heard, old Vlandingham was arrested and sent to rot in Tennessee.
00:33:20Not no more. He's up in Canada. He's gonna run for governor of Ohio.
00:33:25Campbell's up there with him right now.
00:33:27Still trying to stick it to old Lincoln.
00:33:29Why the hell not?
00:33:30Who's minding the farm?
00:33:32His daughter, Caroline.
00:33:35He's been my contact for a while now.
00:33:45Boy, you sure got a lot of fine furniture in there. Where did it all come from?
00:33:49Comes from right here.
00:33:50Well, you're mighty gifted.
00:33:52No, I'm just blessed. Name's Ethan.
00:33:55I'm Benjamin. The boy in there, he's Daniel.
00:33:58He your kin?
00:33:59Nah. I'm just helping him out. He saved my life.
00:34:04I see.
00:34:06Uh, I want to apologize to you for what he said back there.
00:34:09Don't say my sorry's for me. I ain't sorry at all.
00:34:14We shouldn't be here.
00:34:16My brother always said never trust a darkie.
00:34:19Believe me, I don't want you here neither.
00:34:21I got me in enough trouble with the horse thieves without you two being around.
00:34:24Well, I'm sorry. We can go.
00:34:25No, don't worry about it. But just scoot in the morning.
00:34:29We're going right now.
00:34:33Go lie down and quiet yourself.
00:34:38Don't tell me what to do.
00:34:41You're not from around here, are you?
00:34:43No, not originally. No sir. Alabama. And you?
00:34:46Well, I grew up around Cincinnati. Then we moved to New York. My family was blacksmiths.
00:34:53But I, I don't know, I wanted to look for something different to do with my hands and looked around and wound up in a picture taking business.
00:35:01Well, a body's got to be someplace, I suppose. And it's always the other place that looks better than the one you're in.
00:35:08That's why I moved up north. Ain't made much of a living at it though.
00:35:13Tell you, if it didn't have my hands, I'd have nothing.
00:35:18Some folks still think of me as dirt.
00:35:21Hatred don't know no borders. It don't know no north or south.
00:35:32You want a bite of this squirrel?
00:35:36Don't feel much like eating. Too damn hot near this fire.
00:35:40There's cutting to be done before that leg goes gangrene.
00:35:43The wound's already spitting out pieces of bullet and threads from your britches.
00:35:47Time for us to finish the job.
00:35:50You ain't coming near me with that knife.
00:35:53Eh, go to hell then for all I care.
00:35:57Just so you remember, you stay alive long enough to get me that letter.
00:36:02Don't worry. I'm Kentucky blood.
00:36:05We don't go to ground until the last drop of whiskey's left our lips.
00:36:09You'll get your money. Soon, you'll be in a hot bath in Louisville with a nickel whore licking you clean.
00:36:15Well, I best get what I deserve.
00:36:18There's not a god in heaven or in hell that you can hide behind.
00:36:26Well, you sure know how to bring out the soul in a piece of wood.
00:36:33Keeps me occupied. Keeps me from remembering how bad things have worked out.
00:36:38Oh, they really put you through the works.
00:36:41I didn't have to worry about the chains or rip too much.
00:36:45My daddy was old man Feister. He lived on a plantation with my mother and her two sisters.
00:36:50Sort of an arrangement like.
00:36:51To some, there's not much difference between colors.
00:36:55But still, I was a slave boy.
00:36:58But I only had to tend the sheep.
00:37:00What you complaining about?
00:37:01Lord, it sounds like you were treated like a damned prince.
00:37:04A slave's a slave. Man's still a piece of property.
00:37:07That's what my daddy always used to preach.
00:37:10Your daddy sounds like a good man.
00:37:11He's a dead man.
00:37:12He was an abolitionist minister down in Kentucky.
00:37:16Stirred up a whole bunch of trouble, got himself hanged, and my mama killed too.
00:37:21Left me and my brothers as orphans.
00:37:24For that I can never forgive him.
00:37:27That's why you hate us so much?
00:37:29When I was little, I used to side with my daddy all the time.
00:37:34But after all that happened, my brother Drake was all that I had left.
00:37:37He used to say that my daddy should not have made such a fuss.
00:37:43He said that my daddy should have minded his own damn business and left well enough alone.
00:37:48You know, Drake's real smart too.
00:37:50Went to West Point and everything.
00:37:52Well, I know you've got a great deal of love for your brother, but you can't always be listening to what he has to say.
00:37:59What you talking about?
00:38:01You don't even know my brother, so why don't you just shut up?
00:38:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:10I almost forgot. Remember when you told me you drew pictures?
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:14My daddy was keen on dogs. He even took pictures of them.
00:38:18Here's one in a Labrador in a Confederate uniform. Look at this.
00:38:23That's funny.
00:38:25You ever took pictures of dogs?
00:38:26I can't see it. I have.
00:38:28Leave at the crack of dawn. Get some sleep.
00:38:58I have to watch a nice one.
00:38:59I'm notacon jail.
00:39:00I have no clue.
00:39:01I have to watch a big party.
00:39:02I have to watch a big party.
00:39:03I can't see it.
00:39:04I can't see it.
00:39:05I'm not ain't a good party.
00:39:06I can't see it.
00:39:08I can't see it.
00:39:10I'm not a boy.
00:39:11I'm not a boy.
00:39:13How'd y'all sleep last night?
00:39:29A lot better than outside in those sticks.
00:39:32Well, I would have given you my bed, but my back can't hack that hardwood floor anymore.
00:39:37How's your hand, Daniel?
00:39:39It's fine.
00:39:41Good. Real good.
00:39:42Let me give you a hand with that.
00:39:45Gotta pee.
00:39:50Hey, Ben.
00:39:51I don't mean to be nosy, but how well you know that kid?
00:39:55Ah, he's a good boy.
00:39:57Besides, he's doing a rightly thing for the North.
00:40:01Oh, yeah? What's that?
00:40:03Well, I'm sorry. I shouldn't say anything.
00:40:08What's going on, Daniel?
00:40:09I saw two men out there on horses.
00:40:11They've got guns.
00:40:13It's them damn bats, yeah.
00:40:15It's the second time they've tried me.
00:40:16Watch that window over there.
00:40:18If they have a right to a Negro's, everything.
00:40:19I don't know.
00:40:20Let's go.
00:40:50Hurry! Get the horse!
00:41:06Ethan, are you okay?
00:41:07Yeah, just go.
00:41:09Hurry up.
00:41:20Man, look what we've got here.
00:41:38You didn't teach us that at West Point.
00:41:41Makes my stomach turn.
00:41:42Well, I learned the geometry of the cannon shot at Point.
00:41:46It was the war that taught me the calculations for getting the truth from a man.
00:41:52My brother must have taken the letter with him.
00:41:55Any money in there?
00:41:56You shut up about the damn money?
00:41:58Listen, Sonny.
00:42:00This army doesn't give a damn about the retirement of its command.
00:42:04It's every officer for himself.
00:42:05Look at you.
00:42:07Judas of the North.
00:42:08Selling your soul for a few pieces of gold.
00:42:10This war is about rights.
00:42:11Rights?
00:42:12This war is about power.
00:42:15You lose the Negroes, everything will go to hell down there.
00:42:19We ain't going to lose.
00:42:20Not with that letter.
00:42:21Everything's going to change.
00:42:23You'll see.
00:42:24Ben, stop!
00:42:32What?
00:42:32Why?
00:42:33We're going the wrong way.
00:42:34You have to turn around, Ben.
00:42:36Hurry!
00:42:47Drake!
00:42:54What happened to you?
00:43:05Who did this?
00:43:07I'm okay.
00:43:09Is Daniel here?
00:43:10No.
00:43:10No, I haven't seen him.
00:43:11He's got the letter.
00:43:12And you don't know where he is?
00:43:14I thought you did.
00:43:16Just let me think.
00:43:17Oh, you must be the Copperhead Lieutenant.
00:43:20Captain.
00:43:21I'm no Copperhead, ma'am.
00:43:23In fact, it looks like I won't be seeing Copper any time soon.
00:43:26What's going on here?
00:43:27He'll be here.
00:43:28This isn't what I agreed to.
00:43:29Me neither.
00:43:31We'll just have to sit tight.
00:43:32I don't want to sit tight!
00:43:34You made the arrangements with your friend.
00:43:37So blame him.
00:43:38No, he'll be dealt with.
00:43:40Soon enough.
00:43:47Who's the little girl?
00:43:50We better get you up inside the barn.
00:43:52I don't want anybody seeing you out here.
00:43:54Come on.
00:44:05I'm guessing about a few more hours.
00:44:07You really think Hatcher will be in the same place?
00:44:10I ain't sure.
00:44:12But I wouldn't be surprised.
00:44:14I could have tricked my brother into helping him.
00:44:18I thought your brother was such a clever fellow.
00:44:21He is!
00:44:23It's just that I've seen Hatcher in action.
00:44:26Telling sweet lies like maple syrup.
00:44:28What's your brother got to do with this, Daniel?
00:44:32Look, it don't matter.
00:44:34We just got to be prepared.
00:44:40You know,
00:44:41I never even touched a gun until today.
00:44:45I never had a reason to.
00:44:49You did good.
00:44:50Where's my coffee?
00:45:12In a moment, sir.
00:45:13You miserable bumpkins.
00:45:17It really boxed us when I'm good.
00:45:19I beg your pardon?
00:45:20For two years,
00:45:21I've been running messages with my friend
00:45:22without a single hitch.
00:45:24Then you people get involved,
00:45:26BAM!
00:45:26The whole thing goes to hell.
00:45:28I'm sure that they're doing the best that they can.
00:45:31That's the problem.
00:45:32This is the best they're capable of.
00:45:34I got the horse hid.
00:45:50Good.
00:45:52So you think this is the place?
00:45:54Yep.
00:45:55Drake always used to talk about
00:45:56the big elm tree in front of the barn.
00:45:59Now,
00:45:59they don't know I've got company,
00:46:01so you better stay here.
00:46:03Okay.
00:46:03Hey,
00:46:04you think Hatcher might be in there?
00:46:08I don't see his horse,
00:46:09but I'll go in to make sure.
00:46:12Be careful.
00:46:22Honey,
00:46:23I'm so sorry.
00:46:24Don't be.
00:46:28At least I'm here
00:46:29with you
00:46:30and my family.
00:46:33I am.
00:46:33I love you,
00:46:34Daddy.
00:46:35I don't know.
00:47:05You a Campbell?
00:47:27Yeah, I'm Caroline.
00:47:30Daniel?
00:47:32I'm so glad you're here.
00:47:39Drake's hurt bad.
00:47:40He's held up in a Yankee camp.
00:47:41No he's not.
00:47:42He's right upstairs.
00:47:43He is?
00:47:44No, wait!
00:47:45Drake!
00:47:46Wait, Daniel!
00:47:47Drake!
00:47:48Oh, brother!
00:47:49You made it!
00:47:50Yeah, I did.
00:47:51But how'd you get here?
00:47:55Me.
00:47:56Get in there!
00:47:57Hand it over!
00:47:58I ain't giving you nothing.
00:48:00Daniel, just give him the letter so that we can be rid of him.
00:48:06You don't understand.
00:48:07You better listen to her.
00:48:08No!
00:48:09Daniel!
00:48:10No!
00:48:11Daniel!
00:48:12Shut up!
00:48:13Give me the letter or you're dead.
00:48:17Just like the captain, huh?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:19I saw him trying to turn the letter over to the north just to get promoted.
00:48:24And then the captain refused and killed him.
00:48:25He doesn't give a shit about the south.
00:48:26Just himself.
00:48:27Are you finished yet?
00:48:28My friend's expecting his letter.
00:48:29Damn you!
00:48:30And damn your friend!
00:48:31I'll make it simple for you.
00:48:32Give me the letter or your brother dies.
00:48:33I'll make it simple for you.
00:48:34Give me the letter or your brother dies.
00:48:35I'll make it simple for you.
00:48:36Give me the letter or your brother dies.
00:48:39Daniel, if he wants the money that badly, he'll deliver it, friend or not.
00:48:44We ain't got any choice in the matter now.
00:49:09Good boy.
00:49:20No!
00:49:21No!
00:49:38Get the horse!
00:49:39Hurry!
00:49:40I can't.
00:49:41She's gone, Daniel.
00:49:48How could you do that?
00:49:50You had one simple job to do.
00:49:51One job.
00:49:52And you couldn't do that.
00:49:53And now he's dead.
00:49:55Who?
00:49:56Who's dead?
00:49:57My brother Drake!
00:49:59He's dead.
00:50:20Annabel's asleep now.
00:50:21I hope she don't have any nightmares.
00:50:28Annabelle's asleep now.
00:50:40I hope she don't have any nightmares.
00:50:48Daniel, we're your family now.
00:50:55Drake was Annabelle's daddy.
00:50:58He didn't know until today, it's been some years since I've seen him.
00:51:06I knew that there was going to be a war, and I knew that he was going to be such good use
00:51:12to the South.
00:51:16He wouldn't have wanted to go if he would have known.
00:51:20Annabelle, did you say the South?
00:51:25Yes, sir?
00:51:29Daniel, what is all this?
00:51:33What have you gotten me into?
00:51:36That letter... that letter wasn't for the North.
00:51:40You lied to me.
00:51:42I had to.
00:51:43You've been using me all along.
00:51:45I did what I had to.
00:51:47Had to?
00:51:48I trusted you.
00:51:50You would have been dead if it wasn't for me.
00:51:53Did you forget that?
00:51:54At least I would have died with some dignity.
00:51:56Now look at me.
00:51:58I'm being charged as a traitor, and I find I've been aiding and abetting the enemy all along.
00:52:05Do you know what you think?
00:52:07We're enemies?
00:52:08Yes!
00:52:09Aren't we?
00:52:13Do you know what it's like to have Lincoln, the great emancipator, tell you your way of
00:52:18life is wrong?
00:52:21We need slaves to run our plantations, and our slaves need us!
00:52:24Is that how you really feel, or is that your brother still talking?
00:52:28My brother is dead.
00:52:31You remember that Negro.
00:52:33Ethan, he saved your life.
00:52:36He didn't need you, you needed him.
00:52:39That ain't the point.
00:52:41I promised my brother that I would-
00:52:42You fulfilled that promise.
00:52:45It's time for you to grow up and be your own man.
00:52:47I am!
00:52:50Daniel, it's not about your brother, and secret messages, and politics anymore.
00:53:00Right.
00:53:02Now.
00:53:03All I know is that Hatcher's a son of a bitch.
00:53:08And I'm gonna kill him.
00:53:13I want my face to be the last he ever sees.
00:53:19You say your company's chasing Morgan's men.
00:53:26Well, General and his boys just rode through here this morning, and we just missed them.
00:53:33I got separated from the others when I was scouting for a way to cut him off.
00:53:40According to our reports, they got him pinched.
00:53:42Well, we've got you a cot.
00:53:44There's a little deer meat and some beans if you need it.
00:53:47Thanks, Major.
00:53:49But I'll be staying at the hotel.
00:53:51Very well, Sergeant.
00:53:54I've never admired another soul on this earth as much as I did my brother Drake.
00:54:01When we was boys, we used to run around my mama's garden and pelt each other with crab apples.
00:54:08And this one time, he walked me real good and clean knocked me out.
00:54:11But he still carried me home, even though he knew he'd get a whooping from our daddy.
00:54:15I wish that was the only worrying we ever had to do, Lord.
00:54:22Amen.
00:54:23I'll come back.
00:54:24I promise.
00:54:25I guess I'm your family now.
00:54:28Need a hand?
00:54:29Need a hand?
00:54:33Need a hand?
00:54:35I'm Ma'am.
00:54:36I'm Paula, how'd she do?
00:54:37I do, Lord.
00:54:38I do, Lord.
00:54:39I do, Lord.
00:54:40Amen.
00:54:42I'll come back.
00:54:43I promise.
00:54:44I guess I'm your family now.
00:54:46Need a hand?
00:54:54Need a hand?
00:55:24Now we need to take it easy. He could be anywhere if he hasn't left yet.
00:55:42The sooner we find that Barbara Caroline mentioned, the better.
00:55:45Yates, right?
00:55:46I believe that's what she said.
00:55:54Looks like you've seen some action.
00:55:58More like a distraction.
00:56:00You mind telling me about it?
00:56:02I trusted the wrong people.
00:56:09Can I help you fellas?
00:56:11Joseph Yates.
00:56:12That's me.
00:56:13Caroline sent us.
00:56:15Oh really? And where's the deer?
00:56:19She said you could help us.
00:56:21Wow.
00:56:22I'm Drake's brother.
00:56:24Oh sure. What you need?
00:56:27Revenge.
00:56:29That friend I'm going to visit. I've known him for a few years.
00:56:35I met him at the hanging of that abolitionist rabble rouser.
00:56:39John Brown. My friend joined the army just to see him die.
00:56:43That's pretty morbid.
00:56:46He's a strange duck all right. But then most of those theater types are.
00:56:52What's his name?
00:56:53It's none of your concern.
00:56:57Where's your post office?
00:56:59Well I removed a slug from Yankee Bella just last night. A big man.
00:57:06Hatcher.
00:57:07Yeah?
00:57:08Where's he now?
00:57:09The hotel I reckon. He didn't like the sound of an army cod.
00:57:13Do you think he slept yet?
00:57:14I don't think so or I'd have seen him. I've been looking out my window all morning.
00:57:18Son of a bitch.
00:57:19Now hold on just a minute. We can't go running out there without some sort of plan.
00:57:28Good morning sir.
00:57:29My name's Captain Derek Hatcher and I'm staying at the inn. If I receive any messages contact me immediately.
00:57:36Yes sir.
00:57:39Will this do you?
00:57:42Perfect.
00:57:45What's wrong?
00:57:46Well I'm just sorry it had to all come to this.
00:57:49Hey he's coming back out.
00:57:51Marion Holstead. She likes to get friendly with the soldiers.
00:58:01Yankee whore.
00:58:04Damn! They're going off together.
00:58:07I'd say that's to your advantage.
00:58:09How do you figure?
00:58:10They're heading for the hotel.
00:58:12This will be your chance to catch him with his pants down.
00:58:17Perfect.
00:58:21You remind me of a girl I once knew in Virginia.
00:58:24Really? Just as pretty?
00:58:26Every bit.
00:58:27Little Johnny Skelter.
00:58:37Wish I had my knife.
00:58:38I'd sink it into his fat throat.
00:58:40You need to keep your head.
00:58:42If you get that letter give it to me first.
00:58:44That's not why I'm helping you.
00:58:45You gotta in case he gets away.
00:58:49Quite a sight that was.
00:58:51Nothing but a red tangle of hair and flesh.
00:58:54Ew.
00:58:55He cut off all the hair on her head?
00:58:57He had a whole bag full of scalps.
00:58:59And sewed them together.
00:59:01Called it his sack of Yankee hair.
00:59:03That's repulsive.
00:59:05Made them into fine wigs and sold them throughout the union.
00:59:08Nobody ever knew the difference.
00:59:11I'm not going to swing from a tree for this.
00:59:13You won't.
00:59:14Can't we at least wait?
00:59:15It's broad daylight.
00:59:16There's no time.
00:59:17It's all we have to do with this.
00:59:18It's just fine.
00:59:19It's fine.
00:59:20It's fine.
00:59:21Oh, my God.
00:59:51What's wrong?
01:00:04Easy now, boys.
01:00:05Get go of me!
01:00:06Shut up!
01:00:11Get the letter.
01:00:19Got it.
01:00:21Now go downstairs.
01:00:22Make sure no one's coming.
01:00:27Wait a second.
01:00:29You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, would you?
01:00:31Take them away.
01:00:37Take them away.
01:00:53I just got a bunch of red apples from my mom.
01:01:13Sure, it's not supposed to go to all the trouble.
01:01:16Thomas, it ain't like we're on the front lines or nothing.
01:01:19Your mama only lives five miles away.
01:01:21Bet you boys are just starving.
01:01:23Not for them road apples.
01:01:25Hey, you got a problem with his mama's produce?
01:01:28Look, why don't you boys just carry on?
01:01:29Bet he thinks your mama's apples are just chock full of worms.
01:01:32You call my mama's apples rotten?
01:01:35He didn't say that.
01:01:37I wouldn't eat none of your shitty Yankee apples if my life depended on it.
01:01:41Since he don't like apples, maybe he'd like the taste of some Yankee leather.
01:01:45Captain Hatcher says you're two murdering Johnny Spies.
01:01:48How about a little rope?
01:01:49Get him up there.
01:01:50Hey, leave me alone now.
01:01:51Come on, boys.
01:01:52He didn't mean nothing.
01:01:53Quiet down.
01:01:54Come on.
01:01:54Quiet down.
01:01:55Get him up there.
01:01:56Come on.
01:01:57They're killing us in here.
01:01:58Dammit, shut up.
01:01:59Ain't nobody going to go for a life here.
01:02:01Hey, help us out of here.
01:02:02Dammit, shut up.
01:02:03I'll hold your tongue.
01:02:11You pathetic apes.
01:02:14Get them down from there.
01:02:17Now.
01:02:18Leave him here.
01:02:27Get out of here.
01:02:33Sit down.
01:02:36Or I'll make you.
01:02:45Where is it?
01:02:46I don't know what you're talking about.
01:02:48Where is it?
01:02:52I don't have it.
01:02:53Bullshit.
01:02:54You searched us yourself.
01:02:55Yeah, you probably hid it somewhere.
01:02:57I ain't even seen it.
01:02:59I'm the only man that can save your life, Benjamin.
01:03:01Where is your brother when I need him?
01:03:07I'll kill you.
01:03:09You piece of shit.
01:03:10You hear me?
01:03:11I'll kill you.
01:03:12I don't owe you.
01:03:20I'll kill you.
01:03:21I don't owe you nothing.
01:03:21nothing either. I'm not gonna ask you again. Go to hell. You're gonna be in slow
01:03:35pain before you leave this world, boy. Hey, leave him alone. He don't know nothing.
01:03:41Matter of fact. I have it.
01:03:45Where is it? It's in my inside best pocket. Hell, that's nothing but a picture. On the other
01:03:59side, underneath. Sir? What is it? Major Pierce would like to see you right away. Fine. Lock him up.
01:04:15What were you doing to my prisoners? With all due respect, those are my prisoners. This
01:04:33is my jurisdiction. You have no right to order my soldiers around. Do you understand me? The
01:04:38situation's under control. Is it? Well, then maybe you can explain why this telegram was
01:04:46addressed to you. We're in a state of war, so I have all telegrams relayed to me just as a
01:04:52precaution. That telegram is my business. Well, now it's my business. This is secret code
01:04:58written by General Morgan. So explain to me why the General is sending you love letters.
01:05:05Why didn't you give it to me? I knew he would find it. You should have told me at least. I didn't
01:05:26want you to have it. What? I was going to destroy it. After all this? Look, we both want Hatcher
01:05:33dead. But I wasn't going to let that letter get through. I've got to protect my country's
01:05:39interest. Then why'd you give it to him? Because he was going to kill you. So you'll sell out
01:05:47your country to save an enemy spy? I couldn't let him do that to you. Well, now he's still alive
01:05:53and he's got the letter. He wins all the way around. Your message got through and that's
01:05:57what your brother would have wanted. He'd want me to do it. What does it matter to the
01:06:02South? It don't. But it matters to me. Well, we've got bigger problems right now. We're both
01:06:10going to hang in the morning. I suppose it doesn't matter quite so much to me anymore, but
01:06:16you. But you, you've got a woman and that little girl to take care of. I know. What is this?
01:06:26Stop that. I said what is this? I said stop that. Excuse me. Give me that, you little
01:06:33little girl. You're finished. You're a disgrace to the uniform. Sir, the traitors have escaped.
01:07:02Hold him to here. Go, go, go. Turn around.
01:07:32Turn around.
01:07:53Take it. Go, go. I'm okay.
01:08:02Get down. Get down. It's Hatcher. Where's he going? I don't know, but we have to follow.
01:08:19Get down. Let's go.
01:08:43Ah, let's go.
01:08:44Come on!
01:09:14I gotta rest, Daniel. I'm tired.
01:09:17But we're so close!
01:09:21Okay.
01:09:27To me, or not to me, that is the question.
01:09:31Whether it is nobler in the mind to some of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
01:09:37But alas, poor Hatcher. I knew you well. But what is this? Your countenance is one of discontent.
01:09:47Evening, Booth.
01:09:49No! Where is he? There's a playhouse over there.
01:09:59Ah, Lieutenant Hatcher. It's been too long, old friend.
01:10:02It's Captain Hatcher, Booth. I've climbed up in the world.
01:10:06We haven't spoken since 61. Is that not right?
01:10:09Back when I helped you smuggle quinine in horse collars.
01:10:12We've come a long way since then, old friend.
01:10:14We've gone from trying to save the lives of men to saving the life of the South itself.
01:10:21Join me in a glass of whiskey.
01:10:23I'm not in a drinkin' mood.
01:10:25What kind of mood are you in?
01:10:27A negotiating mood.
01:10:41I've got a piece of fool's cap that's worth... a thousand dollars.
01:10:46Ah, there's the man I used to know. Nothing changes. Always to the point. However, it was five hundred dollars we agreed on.
01:10:58There were unforeseen circumstances. Unexpected costs. Much blood was spilled. Some of which was my own.
01:11:07But we had a contract, sir. After all, it's for the cause. The liberation of the South from that tyrant, Lincoln.
01:11:15I don't give a damn about the North or the South, Booth. To me, those words are as useless as a busted tin compass.
01:11:23Are you not a patriot?
01:11:24Patriotism? Is that going to put food on your table when you're old and feeble? Dining on weeds? Spitting out your last split tooth?
01:11:34I've risked a magnificent career in the theater to devote myself to our plans.
01:11:38And I've risked my neck. So give me my money so I may go.
01:11:43Very well, friend. But a letter of credit will have to do.
01:11:49Your letters of credit? Your politics? They don't mean a thing to me.
01:11:53I don't have a thousand dollars with me! I can give you five hundred now. And the rest will be sent to you. You have my word.
01:11:59Well then. I'm sure the North will be happy to see what I have. And find out who it was intended for. One of us will be wearing the hangman's cap to the gallows because of this. Those gallows won't be a prop on a theater stage.
01:12:15I implore you, sir, to reconsider your position.
01:12:19Do I have to speak in iambic pentameter so you can understand?
01:12:23You are a cur, sir. So you would see the darky overrun our country. You would see Lincoln ruling this Caesar.
01:12:33Ye garants he doth bestride the world as Colossus. Look at my hand. When I was young, a gypsy woman read my palms. She said I was destined for greatness. That I would turn the tides of the world.
01:12:49She also said that I was doomed for an early death. But so be it. If I must, I shall play Brutus.
01:13:01What do you think is going to happen when this war is over? Do you think the South is going to applaud you? Throw posies at your feet? Watch you take a thousand bows?
01:13:12I had to kill a kid's brother for this piece of paper. And by God, I'm going to make it worth the blood on my hands.
01:13:19So, you killed the messenger as planned?
01:13:24Yes.
01:13:25Good. We needed a martyr for the Copperheads to rally around.
01:13:31It's unfortunate that Drake had to die for the cause. But he shall be remembered as a loyal patriot always. The South shall be victorious.
01:13:41He was no greater loss than losing the village idiot to a cliff.
01:13:45Hatcher!
01:13:52Drop the gun, Giant, or die!
01:13:58Now come up here!
01:14:06Who are you?
01:14:07I'm the brother of a dead patriot.
01:14:13You fool! You are followed!
01:14:15I thought he was dead.
01:14:17Hatcher, you are useless! Give me the letter now!
01:14:21Now!
01:14:22Can I at least have the five hundred we agreed on?
01:14:33Not so greedy now, are we?
01:14:36All right.
01:14:39If it'll get you out of my sight.
01:14:41Wait!
01:14:49I want to make sure I got what I paid for.
01:14:55What is this?
01:14:57This is nothing but a maudlin love letter.
01:15:00It's supposed to be a passage from Henry V with the time and dates of the Southern gun shipment to Indianapolis.
01:15:06I can't rally copperheads with this!
01:15:10It was the letter I was given.
01:15:12My dearest Benjamin, I long to feel your touch, to see your eyes.
01:15:16To hear the sound of her voice.
01:15:18Who in God's name are you?
01:15:21I'm the one that's going to destroy your precious letter.
01:15:23Don't move!
01:15:24It's too late!
01:15:25No!
01:15:27I hope you enjoy hell.
01:15:29Boo!
01:15:31Ha ha ha!
01:15:33Fuck!
01:15:34No!
01:15:36Don't move!
01:15:38It's too late!
01:15:40No!
01:15:42I hope you enjoy hell.
01:15:44Ah!
01:15:46Ah!
01:15:48Ah!
01:15:52Ah!
01:15:55Ah!
01:15:56Ah!
01:15:57Oh, my God.
01:16:27Oh, my God.
01:16:57Oh, my God.
01:17:27Oh, my God.
01:17:30I will see you soon, sweet angel.
01:17:42With love to thee, Benjamin.
01:17:45So, where's the real letter?
01:17:59He destroyed it himself.
01:18:02Daniel, you've got a chance for a new beginning.
01:18:09Take it.
01:18:12Take it with all your heart.
01:18:13Take it with all your heart.
01:18:15Take it with all your heart.
01:18:17Take it with all your heart.
01:18:19Take it with all your heart.
01:18:21Take it with all your heart.
01:18:23Take it with all your heart.
01:18:23Take it with all your heart.
01:18:25Take it with all your heart.
01:18:26Take it with all your heart.
01:18:27Take it with all your heart.
01:18:28Take it with all your heart.
01:18:29Take it with all your heart.
01:18:29Take it with all your heart.
