00:01Previously on Washington Black...
00:04What did I do wrong?
00:06Go back inside!
00:07Don't leave me, please!
00:09You are ballast, Wash.
00:11And that's all you've ever been.
00:13Ballast.
00:18Come back!
00:19Please!
00:20It's a machine I want to build.
00:22Change the way people travel the world.
00:24Then that's what you're gonna do?
00:27I don't need you to fly.
00:30You, Titch, Mr. Wilde.
00:34None of you.
00:36You have the aquarium.
00:38Now I'm going to build my flying machine.
00:40On my own.
00:41On my terms.
00:44George Washington.
00:46Kit died the 3rd of March, 1813.
00:51She was your mother, Wash.
01:00Up!
01:01You've got to go away.
01:02Come on.
01:03I'm going to go away.
01:04And have to fall in the pool.
01:06I'm going to go away!
01:09Nothing.
01:10No, we'll have to do that!
01:11You!
01:12Good.
01:13What?
01:14I'll do that.
01:15No, no, no.
01:16No!
01:17Get him!
01:18Get him.
01:19I'll do it.
01:20I'll go ahead and do it.
01:23Here!
01:48Boy!
01:49Listen, Juan, don't wander away from home again.
02:00Our people have enemies.
02:02Time to go.
02:03We are too close to the border.
02:05Give them a moment.
02:06This is the closest thing we can.
02:09We are the shield and spear of the king.
02:12Motherhood is not for us.
02:19What eats you?
02:33I see.
02:36Do you believe there is more for those like us?
02:40You are not content.
02:42Are you?
02:43I am.
02:45Do not know if I believe that.
02:48Would I lie?
02:51To spare me trouble?
02:54Yes.
02:55Then you already know what this unrest you feel can lead.
03:07Leave the squad.
03:08I'll be back.
03:09You go there again.
03:11I am.
03:12You know, best friends don't hate us.
03:14Huh?
03:15Generous.
03:17Keep secrets.
03:18Ah, very well, General.
03:20Don't let this secret bite you in the bum.
03:22Since we know all how to bandit you up.
03:24And that is not a little bum.
03:26Huh?
03:27Be sure you know what you are doing.
03:32Always.
03:33I have missed you.
03:34And I, you.
03:35More beautiful than the day I gave you.
03:36I need you everywhere in my life.
03:38Beyond this place.
03:39Am I a fool for wanting the impossible?
03:40Close your eyes.
03:41Come with me.
03:42Come with me.
03:43Ahhhh.
03:44Ahhhh.
03:45Ahhhh.
03:46Ahhhh.
03:47Ahhhh.
03:48Ahhhh.
03:49Ahhhh.
03:50Ahhhh.
03:51Ahhhh.
03:52Ahhhh.
03:53Ahhhh.
03:54Ahhhh.
03:55Ahhhh.
03:56Ahhhh.
03:57Ahhhh.
03:58Ahhhh.
03:59Ahhhh.
04:00Ahhhh.
04:01Ahhhh.
04:02Ahhhh.
04:03Ahhhh.
04:04Ahhhh.
04:06Wash.
04:29Sorry.
04:36I left her in that place.
04:43I need to get out of here.
04:56Wash, let me explain about Kate.
04:59Please.
05:00Wash.
05:01Why did she lie to me?
05:03I'm sorry you didn't know the truth before she was gone.
05:08She thought it was best for you.
05:10She didn't want anything to stop you if you had a chance to escape faith.
05:15So she told us not to tell you.
05:17When Master Teach asked me, I had to tell him the truth.
05:21She did it because she loved you.
05:24More than anything.
05:26Teach knew Kate was my mother?
05:28Yes.
05:30She thought it wouldn't do anything but no one could be completed at all.
05:36She then ran for me when she understood what he was being shot with.
05:39It's good to be released.
05:41Pierre's fault, St
05:48Ogun,
06:06yemoja,
06:13carry out your peaceful grass
06:16and cool water.
06:19Carry her home.
06:31And take your face with me.
06:48Do you remember your mother's face?
06:57Not enough of it.
07:06Now this has been a trying day and you've barely eaten a bite. Come with me and we'll change and get some supper.
07:19Wash!
07:34Wash!
07:47Wash!
07:48Wash!
07:49Wash!

08:13Wash!
08:14Wash!
08:15Wash!
08:16Wash!
08:17Wash!
08:18the village where she's from, where you are from.
08:37Can I go there? To her village?
08:42You can. You should. And there's one more thing.
08:46The other brother with whom you departed faith on a flying machine.
08:51He's long presumed dead. Yes.
08:55We all thought that, but this arrived a few months ago.
09:02It's from Titch.
09:11He's alive? Yes.
09:14Yes. In Morocco.
09:21I thought you would want to know.
09:44I'm going to move.
09:51I'm going to move.
09:53I'm going to move.
09:55I love you, I love you, I love you.
10:25I love you, I love you.
10:27Gentler.
10:29Yes, this is not Nova Scotia.
10:31Yes, this is no London.
10:33Oh look what!
10:37For the wind sailor's cabin.
10:39Er, the wind sailor?
10:43Yes, that is the name I've given to your flying machine.
10:47You have that much faith in me?
10:51It will fly.
10:55And sailor.
10:57Perhaps we'll also need a lantern.
11:03You can't acquire too much.
11:07You have a long journey still.
11:09You shouldn't be far from the town where Tit sent the letters.
11:19You shouldn't be far from the town where Tit sent the letters.
11:33I am alright to tell her.
11:39I don't know why you have to find him.
11:43A man who abandons a child is not worthy of our time.
11:45What has Tit ever brought to you but hurt and pain?
11:49What?
11:50You should build your wind sailor and then travel south to your mother's village.
11:53I am alright to tell her.
11:55I don't know why you have to find him.
11:57A man who abandons a child is not worthy of our time.
12:01What has Tit ever brought to you but hurt and pain?
12:05What?
12:15You should build your wind sailor and then travel south to your mother's village.
12:19She can.
12:21Give Tit back to the dead where he belongs.
12:25I have to know why.
12:31Why did he lie to me about my mother?
12:55That's the thing.
13:10Can I help you?
13:22Hello, Titch.
13:24My God, George Washington Black.
13:35Is that you?
13:46I'm going to step outside so the two of you can talk.
13:54Well, if she's anything to go by, you've done rather well for yourself, Wash.
14:02Perhaps we've crossed our own Delaware at last, eh?
14:05No, you don't get to do that.
14:07Do what?
14:08The jokes, the humour, the little rhetorical games of avoidance.
14:13Very well. What games shall we play then?
14:15Game, he calls it.
14:19Doesn't the moment feel at all familiar, Titch?
14:24I'm sorry?
14:25Virginia, Edgar Farrow's basement near ten years ago, you had just found out your father
14:32was alive, and you had the pressing need to go to him to ask questions, sir.
14:38To prove that I was the better man. Is that why you've come, Wash? To prove you're the
14:44better man?
14:45I have no questions on that school.
14:47Ouch.
14:48But I do come bearing other queries. Less existential and simpler.
14:55So formal, George Washington Black. For a moment there, I almost confused you for my father.
15:02The old boy was always quite the interrogator.
15:07Let's start with why.
15:09Why what?
15:11Why did you leave me?
15:13Wash.
15:14No.
15:15Why did you pick me in the first down place?
15:18Why did you take me from my mother, leaving her to die abandoned by her child?
15:21Can I show you what I have out the back?
15:32What?
15:33There's something I simply must show you.
15:40Really, Titch?
15:43The answer's back there, tossing about in the sand.
15:45In the manner of speaking.
15:48Perhaps it's not the answer.
15:50But it may be an answer.
15:53Come.
15:56Hurry up, Wash.
15:59This is it, Wash.
16:08My masterpiece.
16:10The raison d'être.
16:12The place where all the rivers have been leading.
16:15Come.
16:16Come.
16:17Come.
16:18Come.
16:19Come.
16:20Come.
16:21Come.
16:22Come.
16:23Come.
16:24Come.
16:25Come.
16:26Come.
16:27Come.
16:28Come.
16:29Come.
16:29What...
16:30What are you thinking?
16:34The moon, Wash.
16:37It is within my grasp.
16:39The very moon I showed you so long ago in the scope.
16:42Imagine.
16:44This is futile, Titch.
16:50Nonsense.
16:51She will fly high.
16:52You can't generate enough power.
16:55The earth will pull you back to her bosom.
16:57Fancy ourselves the master now, do we?
16:59I'm not in a contest, Titch.
17:01That was always your Ballywick.
17:05There you go again.
17:07You really do sound like the old boy once did.
17:11This won't get you his approval.
17:13What are you going on about?
17:15This.
17:17All of this.
17:19It's the cloud cutter again, Titch.
17:22You can't let your father go your futile chase for his approval?
17:26You, even though he's dead,
17:31you're stuck, Titch.
17:32And what the hell do you know of it?
17:34How can you stand there and ask that of me?
17:37Are you that blind?
17:47Help me.
17:48No.
17:49No.
17:50Help me again, Wash.
17:51Help me fly.
17:52What do you think will happen then?
17:54Hmm?
17:55You fly high enough for him to see you?
17:57In a manner of speaking.
17:59Titch.
18:00There is only one way for your father to see you again.
18:10Is that it?
18:14Do you want to die?
18:15Is that the fate you chase?
18:25Best leave off the question of my fate and consider your own.
18:28How many times would you have died but not for my hand?
18:32Who snatched you from slavery's grasp?
18:34Perhaps this was a mistake.
18:41Wait.
18:43Wash.
18:44Wash, please.
18:46I...
18:49I...
18:50I am not myself of late.
18:53The open desert is a lonely place.
18:56The contemplation it invites is often unsparing.
19:00Forgive me.
19:02Hm.
19:03Even the most illuminated of Englishmen
19:05doesn't appreciate being challenged by one like myself.
19:08Surely you can't believe that of me.
19:10When it comes to you, how would I know what to believe, Titch?
19:25Wash!
19:26What?
19:29What?
19:33It shames me to ask a thing of you when I have failed so utterly at giving you the answers that you seek.
19:40But...
19:43There is something I must know.
19:48Same old, Titch.
19:51Always about something you need, something you want.
19:53You're the only one who can do it.
19:55Do what?
19:59Tell me of my father's end.
20:02I came across his obituary in an old RSL journal.
20:07An anonymous, cold missive.
20:10What a way to find out.
20:13Yet how entirely fitting.
20:15You were with him, weren't you?
20:19I owe you nothing!
20:21I owe you nothing.
20:23I owe you nothing.
20:32I do have words for my son,
20:34that I wished I'd shared.
20:35And I wished to share them with you,
20:40in his stead.
20:41I did.
20:55I saw your father die.
20:57Your brother take his last breath.
20:59But even now...
21:04I don't hate you enough...
21:08to see you end up like them.
21:13So I will give you the words your father spoke at the end.
21:17The words he wished he'd told you.
21:19Live life for yourself.
21:32Surrender it to no one.
21:35Not even to those...
21:37who might break you.
21:40Your father loved you, Tidge.
21:42But didn't want you to live for him.
21:49No.
23:03Is something wrong?
23:07My world is in their perfect alignment.
23:10What could be wrong?
23:12Near perfect, you say?
23:15Hmm.
23:16Hmm.
23:19I want to close this gap.
23:27To know that I'm yours.
23:32And you are mine.
23:36Inside are forever.
23:39As long as the stars shine.
23:43As deep as oceans blue.
23:46Besides...
23:47not it's not the same,
23:48as great as oceans.
23:49But in the same way I'm...
23:51you're onto the sun.
23:52And I'm going to go.
23:54I'm going to go.
23:57Will you marry me?
23:58I'm going to go.
24:00Here, suppose, please.
24:02I'm going to go, boy.
24:04If I canimbot, please.
24:06I'm going to go.
24:08I'm going to go.
24:09I'm going to go.
24:11So I'm going to go.
24:12So I'm going to go.
24:13I'm going to go, boy.
24:14I don't know.
24:44Three, perhaps, four months, we shall be airborne.
25:14Three, perhaps, four months, we shall be airborne.
25:44Three, perhaps, four months, we shall be airborne.
26:14Three, perhaps, four months, we shall be airborne.
26:44Three, perhaps, four months, we shall be airborne.
26:53I don't know.
27:23I don't know.
27:53I don't know.
28:23I don't know.
28:53I don't know.
29:23I don't know.
29:25I don't know.
29:27I don't know.
29:29I don't know.
29:31I don't know.
29:33I don't know.
29:35I don't know.
29:37I don't know.
29:39I don't know.
29:41I don't know.
29:43I don't know.
29:45I don't know.
29:47I don't know.
29:49I don't know.
29:51I don't know.
29:53I don't know.
29:55I don't know.
29:57I don't know.
30:03I don't know.
30:05I don't know.
30:07I don't know.
30:09I don't know.
30:11I don't know.
30:13I don't know.
30:15I don't know.

30:33I don't know.
30:34I don't know.
30:35I don't know.
30:36I don't know.
30:52You bring her face with you.
30:59You're a son.
31:01Now he's in the room.
31:31Do you know of my father?
31:58I never met him.
32:01Your mother used to come meet him here.
32:04A secret she held in her heart.
32:07I remember thinking, the way Naui spoke of him,
32:11this man, he sounded like Nyame himself.
32:16God of sky and water.
32:21Truthfully.
32:22What is truth and what is not in this world of ours, boy?
32:25Huh?
32:27This place is the truth.
32:29It's beauty.
32:33It's purpose.
32:36The kind of place a sky guard might take refuge.
32:42Find love in the banks of the water.
32:44Yeah.
32:45She always said, water has no enemies.
32:53Only friends.
32:56Only friends.
33:01Why did she have to find a refuge?
33:04She wants it, what could not be for warriors like us.
33:15So?
33:22She gave up everything for you.
33:24Everything.
33:30Everything.
33:39Yeah.
33:42A baby.
33:45Please, Naui.
33:46Tell me you're joking.
33:48This?
34:11Hey.
34:12Hey.
34:12Shh.
34:12Shh.
34:12Shh.
34:14Shh.
34:14Shh.
34:14Oh, my God.
34:19God.
34:24But how are you?
34:25Baby is mine to keep the sick.
34:30No matter the consequences.
34:37Yes, my general.
34:41Yes, my friend.
34:44It is time for the King's inspection.
34:49Yes.
34:50It is time for the King's inspection.
34:53Yes.
34:54Yes.
34:55Yes.
34:56It is time for the King's inspection.
34:57Yes.
34:58Yes.
34:59Yes.
35:05It is time for the King's inspection.
35:07Yes.
35:08Yes.
35:09Yes.
35:13Yes.
35:14Yes.
35:15Yes.
35:16It is time for the King's inspection.
35:24Yes.
35:25Yes.
35:26A horsey!
35:56What have you done?
36:08You belong to me!
36:12I belong to no one.
36:24If you are no longer mine, then she is no longer ours.
36:38Send her to the white man.
36:54It's a cow!
37:06It's a cow!
37:16It's a cow!
37:22Look at me, look at me, you have power, you have power.
37:36You can't do it, you can't do it.
37:42It's fine.
37:56You can't do it.
38:16All the trouble it meant, all you gave up, why did you even have me?
38:35I loved you from the moment I felt your heart beat inside me, boy.
38:42No trouble could outweigh that.
38:44Why didn't you tell me?
38:47Better the hurt of not knowing, than the hurt of being torn from your mother.
38:54The day you were born, it broke me to bring you into this place.
39:04It broke me to leave you there.
39:11But I found hope.
39:14And I brought you under my roof.
39:19And the proof of that fate stands before me in our homeland, soon to be our father.
39:35How proud I am of you.
39:44How blessed.
39:45How blessed.
39:54Oh, kid.
40:03Mother.
40:14Mother.
40:26Mother.
40:28Mother.
40:39Mother.
40:41Mother.
40:42Yes, that was so good.
40:48One more, one more.
40:51That was so strong, man.
40:53You're so strong.
41:12Okay.
41:14Yes.
41:16One more push.
41:18One more push.
41:20Yes, yes, yes.
41:30It's here.
41:32It's here.
41:42Hey.
42:12Yes, yes, yes.
42:16No.
42:17It's here.
42:22It's here.
42:34It's a girl.
42:37Oh, she's so beautiful.
42:44She's so beautiful.
42:47What do we call her?
42:52Hello, Howie.
43:07Hello, Howie.
43:29Hello, Howie.
43:37Goodbye.
