00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:51,940

IN CASE A LETTER

133
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:41,090
THE REDCOATS

135
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:44,802
WHY?
136
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,138
THEY WANT US
TO THINK THEY'RE
MOVING SOUTH
137
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,181
SO WE'LL BE
UNPREPARED
138

WHEN THEY SPRING
THEIR REAL PLAN.
139
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:51,893

FELL FOR THEIR TRAP!

HOW DOES
THIS INVISIBLE INK WORK?
144
00:06:00,234 --> 00:06:03,029

A MAN OF SCIENCE
TO HELP US.

GATHER AROUND.
154
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,591
THE INVISIBLE INK
IS A MIXTURE

00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:24,926
OF FERROUS SULFATE
AND WATER.
156
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:28,012
THE HEAT FROM THE CANDLE
OXIDIZES THE MIXTURE
157
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:31,015
AND MAKES IT POSSIBLE
TO READ WHAT IS WRITTEN.
158
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:32,934
THAT'S FANTASTIC!
159
00:06:32,934 --> 00:06:34,352
VERY CLEVER.
160
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,937
WHAT DOES THE SECRET
MESSAGE SAY?
161
00:06:35,978 --> 00:06:38,940
EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT
THEY WANTED YOU TO KNOW.

LEAVING BOSTON.
163
00:06:40,942 --> 00:06:42,860

169
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:52,870

00:07:09,303 --> 00:07:10,972
WHAT DOES
HE SAY?
179
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:11,973
Franklin:
WHEN IS HE
COMING BACK?
180
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,683
Moses:
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
181
00:07:13,724 --> 00:07:14,976
HE DOESN'T SAY.
182
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,853
AND THIS LETTER
IS 2 MONTHS OLD,
183
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:18,980
AND I CAN'T
WRITE HIM BACK TO ASK.
184
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:21,983
THERE'S NO MAIL SERVICE
TO THE FRONTIER.
185
00:07:22,024 --> 00:07:23,401
AND I CAN'T EVEN
TELL MOTHER
186
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,444
I'VE HEARD FROM FATHER
187
00:07:24,485 --> 00:07:27,822
BECAUSE SHE ISN'T GETTING
THE LETTERS I SEND HER.
188
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:28,781
SHE'S NOT?
189
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:31,033
YOU WRITE TO HER
EVERY DAY.
190
00:07:31,075 --> 00:07:32,410
BUT THEY'RE NOT
GETTING THROUGH.
191
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:35,830
CAPTAIN HODGES
SAID THE BRITISH
CONTROL THE MAIL.
192
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:37,874
I'M GOING
TO INVESTIGATE.
193
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:42,879
AND I'M GOING TO
ASSISTANT INVESTIGATE.
194
00:08:00,354 --> 00:08:02,148
TORIES!
195
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:14,118
James: THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH THE MAIL.
196
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,747
IT'S AN OFFENSE,
AN OUTRAGE.
197
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:25,463
BEN, SOMEONE
WENT THROUGH
MY MAIL.
198
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,757
IT'S AN OFFENSE,
AN OUTRAGE!
199
00:08:27,798 --> 00:08:30,051
FENCES CAN BE MENDED,
MR. ADAMS.
200
00:08:30,051 --> 00:08:32,053
MY COMMENTS
ABOUT MR. DICKINSON,
201
00:08:32,094 --> 00:08:35,181
AS CRITICAL--
EVEN PETTY--
AS THEY WERE,
202
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:37,308
WERE NEVER MEANT
FOR PUBLICATION.
203
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,060
WHOEVER
STOLE MY LETTER
204
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:40,228
PRINTED IT
TO HUMILIATE ME
205
00:08:40,269 --> 00:08:43,439
AND DRIVE A WEDGE
BETWEEN MASSACHUSETTS
AND PENNSYLVANIA.
206
00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:45,024
HERE COMES
MR. DICKINSON NOW.
207
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,318
PERHAPS YOU CAN
MAKE PEACE
WITH HIM.
208
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,279
MR. DICKINSON,
MAY I HAVE A WORD
WITH YOU, PLEASE?
209
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:52,782
HE'S AS STUBBORN
AS I AM.
210
00:08:52,823 --> 00:08:54,033
Franklin: CAN YOU
BLAME HIM, JOHN?
211
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:56,285
YOU CALLED HIM
A PIDDLING GENIUS.
212
00:08:56,327 --> 00:08:58,538
YES, IN
A PRIVATE LETTER.
213
00:08:58,579 --> 00:09:01,040
BEN, WE MUST FIX
THE MAIL SYSTEM.
214
00:09:01,082 --> 00:09:02,875
IF WE CAN'T TRUST
THE POST,
215
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:05,086
HOW ARE WE TO FREELY
EXPRESS OURSELVES?
216
00:09:05,127 --> 00:09:06,921
THE PUBLICATION
OF MY LETTER
217
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:07,672
HURT OUR CAUSE.
218
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:08,923
IT AIRED
A DIVISION
IN OUR RANKS,
219
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:10,841
JUST WHEN IT'S
MOST IMPORTANT
FOR US
220
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,344
TO SHOW UNITY
OF PURPOSE.

[ANGRY YELLING]
222
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:22,520
ORDER, GENTLEMEN!
ORDER!
223
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:26,941
A LETTER THAN I WROTE
TO GENERAL JAMES WARREN
224
00:09:26,941 --> 00:09:28,276
WAS ALSO INTERCEPTED.
225
00:09:28,317 --> 00:09:30,278
STOLEN IS A BETTER WORD.
226
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:33,072
YES. STOLEN...
BY THE TORIES
227
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:36,867
AND PUBLISHED IN
THE BOSTON PAPERS!
228
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:38,995
A PERSONAL LETTER,
MIND YOU,
229
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:40,955
FULL OF BLASPHEMOUS
OPINIONS
230
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,957
AND CONSPIRATORIAL
OUTBURSTS.
231
00:09:42,957 --> 00:09:45,126
YOU MUST LEARN
TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER.
232
00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:48,004
I ADMIT I HAVE
A DEFECTIVE CHARACTER,
233
00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:48,879
HOWEVER,
DR. FRANKLIN,
234
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:51,591
YOU DESIGNED
THE COLONIAL
POSTAL SERVICE
235
00:09:51,632 --> 00:09:53,009
AT THE REQUEST
OF THE CROWN.
236
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:55,011
AND NOW A MAN
CAN'T WRITE A WORD
237
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:58,222
WITHOUT RISKING IT
APPEARING IN PRINT!

00:10:02,476 --> 00:10:06,480
ORDER, GENTLEMEN! ORDER!
240
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,650
DR. FRANKLIN,
241
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:12,945
SINCE YOU ARE THE FATHER
OF MODERN POSTAL PRACTICES,
242
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,989
I MOVE YOU BE APPOINTED
HEAD OF A COMMITTEE
243
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:17,908
TO DEVISE A NEW COLONIAL
POSTAL SERVICE
244
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,870
INDEPENDENT
OF THE BRITISH CROWN.
245
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:21,704
IN THE MEANTIME,
246
00:10:21,746 --> 00:10:24,332
WE MUSTN'T USE
THE ROYAL POSTAL SYSTEM
247
00:10:24,373 --> 00:10:26,500
UNLESS YOU WOULD
BE COMFORTABLE
248
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:28,085
WITH KING GEORGE HIMSELF
249
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:30,296
READING WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN.
250
00:10:30,338 --> 00:10:32,048
IN THE MEANTIME,
WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY
251
00:10:32,089 --> 00:10:34,884
TO GET THIS LOAD OF MAIL
THROUGH TO NEW YORK.
252
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:37,011
WE CAN'T SPARE
ANOTHER SOLDIER.
253
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:37,762
I'LL TAKE IT!
254
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:40,014
THAT'S VERY BRAVE OF YOU,
JAMES,
255
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,058
BUT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.
256
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:42,850
I'LL BE CAREFUL.
257
00:10:42,892 --> 00:10:45,061
YOU'LL HAVE TO BE
MORE THAN CAREFUL.
258
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:45,853
COUNT ON ME, SIR.
259
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:47,521
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO
JUST THAT.
260
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:51,192
THIS LOAD OF MAIL
CONTAINS SEVERAL
IMPORTANT DISPATCHES
261
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:52,026
TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.
262
00:10:52,026 --> 00:10:55,488
THEY MUST NOT FALL
INTO BRITISH HANDS.
263
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:57,073
I'M GOING, TOO!
264
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:57,990
IT'S NOT SAFE!
265
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,034
BUT YOU'RE CARRYING
A LETTER TO MY MOTHER
266
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:01,077
WITH NEWS OF FATHER.
267
00:11:01,118 --> 00:11:02,912
I WANT TO SEE
WITH MY OWN EYES
268
00:11:02,953 --> 00:11:04,955
THAT IT GETS
ON THE MAIL BOAT
FOR LONDON.
269
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,334
BESIDES, I'M TWICE
THE RIDER YOU ARE.
270
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:10,127
YOU ARE NOT!
271
00:11:10,169 --> 00:11:11,170
AM, TOO!
272
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:11,796
ARE NOT!
273
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:13,923
SARAH,
IF OUR COLONIAL ARMY
274
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:15,925
POSSESSED AN OUNCE
OF YOUR PLUCK,
275
00:11:15,966 --> 00:11:17,468
WE'D HAVE
NOTHING TO FEAR.
276
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,929
WE'LL SEE WHO'S
TWICE THE RIDER.
277
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:21,639
I WANT YOU BOTH
TO FOLLOW ROUTE ONE,
278
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:25,017
THE POSTAL ROAD
CONNECTING PHILADELPHIA
TO NEW YORK,
279
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:26,560
WHICH I ESTABLISHED
20 YEARS AGO
280
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,229
AS ROYAL
POSTMASTER GENERAL.
281
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:30,064
I SET UP A SERIES
OF MILESTONES
282
00:11:30,064 --> 00:11:31,315
THAT WILL LEAD YOU
TO NEW YORK.
283
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,151
THE MILESTONES ARE PLACED
AT REGULAR INTERVALS
284
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:35,319
ALL THE WAY TO BOSTON.
285
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:38,406
MY POSTAL SYSTEM
WAS A MODEL OF EFFICIENCY.
286
00:11:38,447 --> 00:11:42,576
THAT WAS BEFORE
OUR CURRENT TROUBLES.
287
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:55,923
SHOULDN'T WE HAVE PASSED
ANOTHER MILESTONE BY NOW?
288
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:56,966
OR 2?
289
00:11:57,007 --> 00:11:58,092
WE'RE IN NEW JERSEY.
290
00:11:58,092 --> 00:11:59,427
MAYBE THEY DON'T GO
THIS FAR.
291
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,637
DR. FRANKLIN
SAID HE SET THEM UP
292
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,097
ALL THE WAY TO BOSTON.
293
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:04,056
ISN'T THAT ONE?
294
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:06,100
OH, NO! WHOA!
[HORSE WHINNIES]
295
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:09,061
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
BRIBED THE POSTMAN.
296
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:09,895
THEY'RE TORIES.
297
00:12:09,937 --> 00:12:12,022
THEY'RE WAITING TO
INTERCEPT THE MAIL.
298
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:15,109
WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?
299
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,994
MAYBE WE SHOULD TURN AROUND
AND GO BACK.
300
00:12:25,035 --> 00:12:25,953
THEN THE MAIL
WON'T GET THROUGH.
301
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:29,081
GENERAL WASHINGTON
WON'T GET
HIS DISPATCHES.
302
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:31,041
MAYBE THEY'LL LET US THROUGH.
303
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,960
BUT THERE'S
A BRITISH SOLDIER
WITH THEM.
304
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:36,297
BRITISH SOLDIERS
ARE NOT MONSTERS, YOU KNOW.
305
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:38,466
THAT'S BECAUSE
YOU'RE BRITISH.
306
00:12:38,466 --> 00:12:42,303
MAY I REMIND YOU
YOU'RE ALSO BRITISH?
307
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:43,387
OK, HAVE IT YOUR WAY.
308
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:44,764
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD?
309
00:12:44,805 --> 00:12:46,098
I HAVE TO
WATER MY HORSE.
310
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,558
I'LL MEET YOU
AT THE BLOCKADE.
311
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,060
HURRY.
[HORSE WHINNIES]
312
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:52,146
WHOA!
313
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:55,316
NOW, WHY WOULD
A PRETTY YOUNG LASS
SUCH AS YOURSELF
314
00:12:55,357 --> 00:12:57,067
BE OUT RIDING ALONE?
315
00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:59,987
THANK YOU, SIR.
YOU ARE MOST KIND.
316
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:01,238
I AM NOT RIDING ALONE.
317
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,158
MY FRIEND JAMES
IS WATERING HIS HORSE.
318
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,992
HE'LL BE ALONG.
319
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:06,786
AND WHAT IS THE NATURE
OF THE BUSINESS
320
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:09,121
THAT TAKES YOU TO NEW YORK?
321
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,498
WELL, YOU SEE...
322
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:13,000
AHH, HERE HE COMES.
323
00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:16,629
WHOA!
324
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,464
NOW THAT HE'S HERE,
MAY WE PASS?
325
00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:21,383
I'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW
THE NATURE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
326
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,260
James: WE'RE VISITING
A SICK FRIEND.
327
00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:24,804
SARAH GOT A LETTER
THAT WAS WEEKS OLD
328
00:13:24,845 --> 00:13:27,306
SAYING THAT A DEAR
FRIEND OF OURS
MAY PERISH SOON.
329
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:28,432
WE ONLY HOPE
WE'RE NOT TOO LATE.
330
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:32,102
OH, IN THAT CASE,
PLEASE MOVE ALONG.
331
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:34,146
WE WON'T
DETAIN YOU FURTHER.
332
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:36,482
THANK YOU, KIND SIR.
333
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,653
YOUR SERVANT, M'LADY.
334
00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:44,156
THAT WAS
A SHAMELESS TARADIDDLE
YOU TOLD THEM
335
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:46,826
ABOUT OUR PERISHING FRIEND.
336
00:13:46,867 --> 00:13:49,119
I KNOW. IT WAS WRONG.
337
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:51,205
THE TRUTH WOULD HAVE DONE
JUST AS WELL.
338
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:53,082
I WAS AFRAID
TO TAKE THE CHANCE.
339
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:56,043
JAMES, YOU HAVEN'T
GOT THE MAILBAG!
340
00:13:56,085 --> 00:14:00,047
YOU THINK WE WOULD HAVE
MADE IT THROUGH IF I DID?
341
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:00,798
BUT WHERE IS IT?
342
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,383
WHERE THEY WON'T FIND IT.
343
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:04,844
JAMES,
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
WITH THE MAIL?
344
00:14:04,885 --> 00:14:08,681
WE'LL SNEAK BACK FOR IT
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN.
345
00:14:08,722 --> 00:14:10,224
YOU ARE SHAMELESS.
346
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:13,727
DO YOU WANT YOUR LETTER
TO GET THROUGH OR NOT?
347
00:14:19,733 --> 00:14:22,862
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I DISAPPROVE
OF YOUR DECEPTION
348
00:14:22,903 --> 00:14:25,364
WITH ALL MY HEART.
349
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:28,158
WHAT IF
WE GET CAUGHT?

00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:27,160
AND NEITHER RAIN,
SLEET, SNOW,
526
00:21:27,202 --> 00:21:28,078
NOR DARK OF NIGHT
527
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,914
WILL KEEP THEM
FROM THEIR APPOINTED ROUNDS.
528
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:33,875
[CONGRESSMEN CHEERING]

00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:42,843
27, JULY, 1775.
530
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:47,014
DEAREST MOTHER, I HAVE READ
YOUR LAST LETTER 3O TIMES,
531
00:21:47,055 --> 00:21:51,727
WHICH IS ONE TIME FOR EACH
DAY I WAITED FOR IT.
532
00:21:51,768 --> 00:21:55,314
I'M SO RELIEVED
THAT YOU RECEIVED
MY LETTER ABOUT FATHER.
533
00:21:55,355 --> 00:21:57,065
I AM RELIEVED
THAT YOU RECEIVED
534
00:21:57,107 --> 00:21:59,568
ANY LETTER FROM ME AT ALL.
535
00:21:59,609 --> 00:22:01,194
THANKS TO JAMES
AND DR. FRANKLIN...
536
00:22:01,236 --> 00:22:02,154
MAIL'S HERE!
537
00:22:02,195 --> 00:22:04,031
I HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION
OF THE IMPORTANCE
538
00:22:04,072 --> 00:22:04,781
OF THE POSTAL SERVICE
539
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:07,701
AND OF COMMUNICATION
IN GENERAL.
540
00:22:07,743 --> 00:22:08,827
HOW CAN THE COLONISTS
541
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:10,954
HOPE TO SURVIVE
THESE DIFFICULT TIMES
542
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:12,039
WITHOUT COMMUNICATION?
543
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,916
EVEN IF I DON'T AGREE WITH
ALL OF THEIR STATED AIMS,
544
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:19,046
I DO SO ADMIRE THE WORK
THAT DR. FRANKLIN HAS DONE
545
00:22:19,087 --> 00:22:20,213
AND CONTINUES TO DO
546
00:22:20,255 --> 00:22:24,009
IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE
THIS GIGANTIC WORLD
A LITTLE SMALLER
547
00:22:24,051 --> 00:22:27,804
SO THAT EVEN IF WE ARE
SEPARATED BY GEOGRAPHY,
548
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:30,891
WE MAY ALL BE
UNITED IN UNDERSTANDING.
