Face to face dude!

He was bringing furs down the river.

You could hear the city a mile off.

New York going crazy.

Declaration of Independence.

Daisy, now don't you go spoiling our lovely day.

Here.

Good for the curling papers.

Oh, come.

The last thing I need today is a headache.

Daisy McConaughey, don't you dare. Mama.

Daisy. Ma 'am, I must.

It's a pretty melodramatic, Daisy. Your language, Betsy. Daisy.

Declaration.

of Brooklyn.

My boat?

No. I can't give it to you. Citizen, it's your duty, your responsibility to

us your boat. Come on then, let's go.

Want cash for your boat? Show it to the provisional commissary.

Who the hell is that?

Joe McConaughey, the Sugar King. You two, guard the boat.

Wait for me here.

are issued by the Treasury of the United States, God bless our Congress, and

they'll be redeemed in gold.

Two weeks.

Two weeks.

Two weeks.

When the war is won and the British are driven into the sea, two weeks and you

will be paid.

The notes in your hand are worth more than gold.

They are the future of you.

Five shillings, Pa, for you.

And 150 acres of land when the war's over.

What'd you do, Ned?

I joined up, Pa.

Oh, you ain't. Come on. Where you going to, boy?

Oh, it's my son.

Here, here's your five bob back.

It was a mistake.

Where do you think you're going, mister?

Anything you're doing?

I was in the commissary. I come out, I found out he joined.

That's right.

But it's a mistake. He ain't joined.

Is this a mistake? I recognize the boy.

Show him the roll book. Top of the list.

I know his name. I'm his pa.

I told you he ain't joined.

Yes, he has.

No, he ain't had my permission.

Makes no difference. He received the five shillings and he signed his name.

Right here. You just cross his name off with that quill there, see? Then it

never happened. Come on.

Detain that man!

You can't just take them. They're all somebody's sons, mister.

And they're all willing to shed their blood fighting tyranny.

Ask your boy who's war.

All right, get to them.

No. Now.

Come, let's move on. No, it ain't war.

Come with me.

Come with me.

You can't force him in.

Oh, oh, oh, sorry.

Come now. You've got to be a family man.

I've had three kids. One wife dead.

That's all I got living.

Come on, you can't take it.

And you want your language too, mister.

One piece of dried fish.

When we get to where we're going, if something should happen to me, we get

separate.

You stick by the officers.

You hear?

They never risk hurt.

You stick close to the officers.

And you look out for yourself first.

You hear?

This is the note, remember?

They give us for the boat.

You keep it.

Go ahead. Put it in your shoe.

We fight for a true and just cause.

God will be with us.

Take me with you. Mama told us we should go outside.

Yes. Daisy?

Mama. Daisy?

What is it? What are you getting up to now? What is all this?

You're not going out into that street again today?

Don't you know what's happening out there?

I know very well what's happening out there. There's madness out there, Daisy.

Madness.

Daisy, I forbid you to leave this house.

I'm sorry.

Stuff you right and you get yourself raped.

Oh, don't be so vulgar, Betsy.

Oh.

The places that you don't need, Mr. Conaghy.

This is no place for you. Go home to your mother and sisters.

We'll give it out, and you go home, Daisy.

Give me something for a turn to get here.

You got eats?

Yeah.

You fought.

Here.

Thanks.

You fought in the battle.

It must have been terrible.

Cut, you cut.

Wait, I'll... Let me help you. Lie back.

What was it like out there?

Could you tell me?

The fight?

Yeah. You want to know that?

Oh, you want to know that?

Please.

It was just over there.

We was fighting.

There was shooting.

Then men just started falling all around us from the gunfire.

You saw the British?

We never saw no one. No, they used chain.

From the cannon they shot chain and grape.

Cut men down.

Cut them in half.

It was my first battle.

Some sleep some.

You fought for our cause.

You fought for our freedom.

Fuckers!

Evacuate, he says.

Well, I think Washington's finished.

His army's beat.

They're going to run his ass out of Manhattan.

Their lordships will take over New York again.

And you know what that means.

It means that we are going to have 15 ,000 hungry new mouths to feed.

And they'll take goddamn anything we care to hand them.

You can dump your flour and corn.

They have maggoty pork and beans.

They want cod, rum, sugar.

We may have to up the prices a little, but it's a wonderful opportunity to do

something for our city.

Papa.

Daisy, what the hell are you doing here? You must help the soldiers, Papa.

I've seen them out there on the field.

There's so many wounded.

They fought and suffered for you.

Don't feed the enemy.

Don't you have any pity in you?

Damn it, Miss McConaughey, this is your father you're talking to. Why do you

allow it, sir?

Allow it?

I love it.

This is Daisy McConaughey talking, my daughter.

My girl.

Sure, when you're young, it takes a cause to find any sense in this world at

all, doesn't it? Don't treat me like a child, Papa.

I wouldn't do that, Daisy, not to you.

I know you too well.

Then give out some food.

You feed them, or you'll be damned.

Mr. Cordy. Sir.

How much salt fish do we have in the warehouse?

250 barrels, sir. I have a note of it here.

Then set aside 50 barrels for our boys returning from the war.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy.

You see, girl, it doesn't matter a damn who deserves to win.

It's who does win that's what's important.

Now, you remember that the next time you're out there screaming liberty.

Mr. Cordy. Sir.

Make that ten barrels.

Get to the wall!

Get to your positions!

Come on, boys!

God's on our side!

Come on, sir.

Stay close to him.

country. Hear me?

God is with you.

Stay brave.

You're British soldiers in the best bloody regiment in the world.

Extend the range, Captain.

Come on. Come on.

That's right.

We're going home.

It's over for us.

This war's over for us.

Wait for me, Billy!

Wait!

What are we gonna do, Paul?

I don't know, son.

Go back to New York.

drama he hasn't

Where are you glorious rebels now, Daisy?

Run off like skunks?

Oh, look. Look at father with the general.

Do you think we'll meet him? Him and the cream of the British army, my dear.

They'll be drooling at our feet.

...upon the freedom of legislation in any of his colonies, and to concur in

revisal of all acts by which his subjects there may think themselves

it is recommended to the inhabitants at large to reflect seriously upon their

purposes and expectations...

You ran?

We all ran.

Everybody ran.

You ran?

Was Roediger caught?

I thought you might have stood your ground, Mr. Job.

It ain't my fight.

It ain't my fight.

So you went to war?

Yeah.

Daisy!

My God, Mama, what's going on here?

Now, Daisy, before you start, don't. I haven't the patience and I haven't the

time. Now, here, take this. This is you.

Now, go and make yourself presentable.

Tonight is a very special occasion.

A chance of a lifetime for your sisters. So don't you go spoiling it. Here.

Yeah, more, Father. No, be quiet. They don't be people.

More coffee.

More coffee, Father. Wait here.

What are those cases of luggage?

Ah, now, those belong to two young officers the General has asked us to

Lord Hampton.

and Lord Darling.

Nobility, Daisy.

And both of them unmarried.

Lord Hampton is the nephew of Poppy Hessep, who I'm told stands very close

the Queen's chain.

Yeah, holding the pot, no doubt.

I'll not say any more, Daisy.

We all know your views on the subject. But tonight, please keep them to

yourself. Now, here's your dress.

Go and put it on and try just for once.

To behave like a respectable member of this family.

Oh, Patsy.

And while you're up there, you can clear your room of all that poxy rebel

patriot stuff.

Church is the...

what he called you.

Yankee bitch.

Whore.

Whatever you may think, Daisy, we have always loved you.

Your father and I.

I've had such hopes for you.

And you've never before given me...

Cause to feel ashamed of you.

That's not fair.

That's not fair.

Not fair.

After tonight... You know

where we stand, Daisy?

You cannot belong to this family.

and fight on the other side.

Sweet. Got away.

I fumbled it.

You fumbled it.

Dick stole a grenade from us Mohawks.

So we can blow a hole in the sergeant's mess.

You ain't blowing nothing.

You ain't no Mohawk. Well, I am now, Pa.

They just elected me to the gang.

Are you talking mad?

You won't get killed?

No, I ain't blowing no grenade.

Dick's blowing no grenade. Then all of us are going to go in there after him,

get all of the heat. What if he's? What if he's?

What do you eat, Ned?

I work for your eats.

It's not for me, Pop. It's for my own, Ned. I don't care who it's for.

You ain't no Mohawk.

And you ain't blowing no grenade, yeah?

Well, I'm going. No, wait. You ain't going nowhere.

I'll go where I want. No, you're staying here.

Ned, listen.

You seen them bodies floating in the river?

You seen them?

What are they?

They just boys like you.

That's all they are.

Is that what you want? In here!

Exactly. Move.

Well, well.

We've got ourselves a likely -looking candidate.

Here. You.

I fit.

You look fit.

You're fit.

What about leg?

Can he move his legs, corporal?

Ask him to move his legs.

Get him up. Get him up. Get your legs up. On the spot. Run in on the spot.

What are you gawping at, you lot, eh?

This, you dumb Yankees, is the guy.

And it's for the officers.

On account they want a bloody foxhound before they ride off to their bloody

But there ain't any foxes in this part of the world.

I dare say you've had them all.

So,

To drag the hunt.

Using this ropey -looking effigy of dear old Georgie Washington there.

But if you've got any ideas about running off, forget them.

Because when we catch up with you, and we will, we'll hang you.

Understood?

Back off, all. Bring them on.

Right. To pay two copies. One now, one when you're finished.

The dogs don't eat you. They're coming over there. I want another man in this

part of the house. Move!

Guess the sausage.

No. I won't get you no sausage. Get your own. You're toady to these bugs like

there was 10 Jesus.

It's just to keep you safe.

Me, Pa?

I can watch out for myself.

It's you who wants to keep low.

Ain't right to say to me that.

Ain't me hiding.

It's you who run and me you drag. Ned.

Ned! Ned!

Take care of yourself, Pa. Stick with the officers. You won't risk getting

Oi! What are they doing? Come out!

What do you think you're doing, eh?

What do you think you're doing, eh?

Where do you think you're going?

Say something.

Do you say something?

Talk me better off, if that. I could charge you for that.

Bring him up. Hold him.

Move. You lot, hold him.

Move it.

Get this pair down to the field. Come on, come on.

Sergeant Major.

Yes, sir.

I see. Well, get them sent it off.

Heard what the captain said. Sent them off. Now, look, you're being paid

handsomely for this, and we want some good sport, so see you around your

Right, Sergeant Major.

Run them bloody off. Very good, sir.

This pass gets you through the lines.

Off you go, son. All right, away you go. Come on, move, move, move.

The main sovereign's the big one, doesn't last the course.

It's the little man you have to watch out for.

It's not far.

It's not far.

No!

There's water there.

We've got to get the water on it.

It's not far.

No water!

It's right there.

Idiot.

Idiot.

He got the scent on you.

I wasn't running with the fuck.

It can't be.

Look, it's poor old Georgie Washington.

Poor old chap seems to have run out of puff.

Developing a soft spot for him, are we?

I think we'll have to put him out of his misery.

The American...

Amen.

They're all gone now, Bill.

Oh, they're sleeping then.

Just sleeping.

What's a baby for magic?

Tucked in with a spade.

Where are you going next?

Now, you drummers, look.

Like you.

Right, like him. You can't fight a war without drummer boys, son.

Now we've got some more.

Washington with a lot of patriots.

Been licking molasses, Merle?

I got splinters in my tongue.

Did you bring your sticks?

Yeah.

I invented a new beat.

Good son.

I'll give you a drum of your own.

Cross me and I'll pop a chaglim.

Corporal!

And when the time was right, he came down from the mountain, enjoying the

Where's your tally?

Thank you.

I'll need you and your carts.

I've got sick men to be taken to the hospital at Yellow Springs.

Sergeant. Yes, ma 'am.

These men are dying.

That's why they must go.

A general don't want no man dying at Valley Ford. Get them loaded now,

Yes, sir.

Is that his son?

Yeah. And I'm happy with Jack.

Daisy?

It's me, Ned.

You got a rifle.

Yeah. We're scouts now.

Scouts? Mm.

Where's the department?

Over in the huts.

Ah! Look who's here!

But I prayed for you, Tom.

I prayed for you.

You got things.

So is his life.

Come on.

Oh, you're cold.

Ain't got much.

I couldn't. Sit.

Your feet must be ice. Here.

You're an Indian now, huh?

I'm a scout.

With the army.

I never thought I'd see you again.

Tell me, Jessie, what happened through you?

Well, Cuffy and I left New York and fled to Philadelphia, where there were

partisans, and we joined them.

And we smuggled food, boots, muskets.

And I learned not a thing.

Did you?

Yeah, on the Chesapeake.

I can see you wearing a captain's coat.

It's Captain Steinhope's. He gave it to me.

Look at my hands.

See how rough they come? Oh, yeah.

Look at the calluses on them.

It's from the ropes.

It's from sailing.

They like mine?

Yeah.

They can sail anywhere with you now, Tom.

Oh, could you, sis?

Yes, I could.

There's some more if you want it.

Stop! The wagon's coming.

You'll be all right as long as we can talk to you. I'll wait till you get

I'll see you when you get back.

Got the wagon ready.

Whoa!

I see where... Hey, Tom.

Oh.

Coffee.

This is Tom.

Tom, this is Coffee.

Pleased to meet you.

Wait,

I got something for you.

I'm Bella.

My father's Israel Davis, the gunner.

Just a minute. I'm staying here with him.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Ned.

Pleased to meet you, Ned.

Here, let's keep you warm. Oh, thank you, Tom.

Ned.

Yeah, just a moment, Pa.

Come on. You've got a limb. Oh, it's nothing.

Were you wounded?

I was captured, but my Pa saved me.

You're going back to Philadelphia after you take him to the hospital.

I don't know.

I don't know what they're telling me.

Where are you going to be?

I don't know.

I'm a... Well, I'll be scouting here all winter.

After that, I don't know.

Indians want to go back to their family.

Me, I don't know.

Do you name your horses yet, Daisy?

It's a good setup.

Selfie and the French have joined in our cause.

The war will be over in two weeks.

It says there's records on everyone in here.

Those dead, those missing.

Paul,

I'll

wait over here for you, all right?

Or killed, I don't know.

She was headed this way, so I thought you might have a record of her.

Named Daisy McConaughey.

Well, this is the book.

That mark there, that means dead.

Oh, hello.

What do you think?

Of what?

The British.

They made a terrible mess of this place.

Congress can't meet unless I said things are right.

Congress?

I heard they fight a lot.

I... I don't... I don't remember.

I pushed it there.

Mr. Rittenhouse made it.

This is the Earth, and that's the moon.

How far is that?

200 ,000 miles.

Don't seem that far.

How do you know for sure?

I went to Harvard.

See?

See how the planets turn?

Each makes its own revolution around the sun.

See, Mr.

Jefferson says that that's the idea of America.

A revolution.

A new turn.

Anything? Ain't no record.

Go back to your guns.

Two stretches to the right, Pa.

Two stretches to the right.

You seen him?

Got him.

Where are you going to take him?

Shoulder.

That's a good shot.

I can't see for the smoke.

Look down there at the post on the end.

It's that English bastard.

Oh, yeah.

I'll be in bed.

I'll be in bed.

I'll be in bed.

He's going to the beach.

He's coming for our spotter.

It's all clear, Pa.

They're all down.

Listen, I'm going to lie down in green pastures.

Don't leave me, son.

He laid me beside the silver. He laid me beside the silver.

You're not, son.

Don't leave me.

You've got drummer's luck.

Don't leave me.

Be brave, son.

Be brave.

He laid me beside the silver.

He laid me beside the silver.

He laid me beside the preciousness.

For his name's sake, here's a walk.

I've got him dead, Pa.

You doing that?

Don't leave me, son.

Don't leave me.

No. I ain't gonna do it.

We better go home.

Come on.

Come on, lad.

Come on, son.

Come on.

Come on.

Same, it says.

Boats and Providence, 1776.

You've had this a long time, haven't you?

All right, 10, 20, 30, 40. That's it.

Coming next.

Wait, wait, wait. Where's the rest?

What rest, mister?

Seventy dollars. They've been devalued. That's all them old Continentals is

worth now.

Will you take it or leave it?

Then move along. You're holding up the queue. Don't be pushing me. I'm not

pushing. I'm very busy now. Come on. What happened to the 150 acres? What's

complaining about? I'm not complaining. I'm asking a question.

What happened to the 150 acres I was promised? Listen, you've got two arms

two legs and two eyes, haven't you? Now move on. I'm very busy. Right. I told

you to keep your hands off me.

You're holding up the line, mister. I'm asking you a question. You're holding up

the line. I'm asking you a question. What happened to the 150 acres of land I

was promised?

It was sold by Congress to speculators to pay for the war tax.

All right? Now move it. I'm the bloody war tax. Are you? Yeah, this chit here,

that's the bloody war tax. We're all the bloody war tax. So why don't you go to

Congress? Don't tell me you go to Congress, all of you, and you tell them.

I'll tell you because you're standing here.

I'm not interested in talking to you. Come on, next.

Where's this Congress?

Congress is coming here. You go and tell them.

Where are they coming? They're on their way.

When? They're coming, damn you. I told you they're coming. Damn you.

Go on, get out. All these men here, we all fought for something, and we got it.

Well, you think I didn't fight? You take it from us, and we're going to fight

again. I'm taking nothing from you. You open your mouth to Congress.

It's where your mouth belongs, not to me.

My mouth belongs anywhere I put it.

To get the money?

Forty dollars, that's it.

That's all?

That's all they're worth.

And 150 acres?

It's gone.

To the speculators.

All of it?

Where's that lever?

You take the Hudson to the Mohawk Trail.

Then up as far as she goes.

Dante says there's farmland now west for the taking.

You're going to settle like your dreams.

So what? You ain't coming?

I can't, Ned.

I should stay here.

Go for me.

Things for me.

I can learn to read.

It's what I want, Ned.

It's what I want.

I'm going to miss you, Pa.

I'm going to miss you bad.

There, chicken.

I don't need it all. Oh, you do.

Bella's going to need more than one skinny cone.

Again? God be with you.

Don't forget no good tools. I won't, Tom.

Goodbye, Tom.

Whoa!

You name your kids for your old friends.

I'll make you proud, Paul.

You tell them about me.

I will.

How we thought.

I will, Pa.

Tell him how far we come.

Coffee!

Coffee!

Coffee!

Coffee!

We're going to find us a place where there ain't no one to bow down to.

Where there ain't no lord or lady better than you.

Where you can say what you like and climb as high as you want.

And there ain't nobody going to treat no one like a dog in the dirt.

I look around me, Ned, and I see all kinds of people.

Men and women.

And they've got families like mine.

And we stand together like brothers and sisters.

And we make for ourselves.

We make a place where our babies can sleep safe through the night.
