IN 1755, THE BORDER
BRITISH COLONIES

00:00:47,256 --> 00:00:49,800
IN THE UNITED STATES STOP
IN THE MOUNTAINS.

00:00:49,925 --> 00:00:52,636
BEYOND LIES
THE OHIO TERRITORY.
6
00:00:52,762 --> 00:00:56,182
FRANCE ADVANCED TOWARDS THE SOUTH
WITH FORTS AND SOLDIERS
7
00:00:56,307 --> 00:00:59,977
TO CLAIM THE TERRITORY.
GREAT BRITAIN RESPONDS
8
00:01:00,102 --> 00:01:02,271
BY DEMANDING THEIR DEPARTURE.
9
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:06,233
THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE DECIDE
ALSO TO DEFEND THEIR LANDS.

JULY 9, 1755

WILDLANDS
OF PENNSYLVANIA
13
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,728
Ah, ah, ah...
14
00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:59,453
Where is the general?
Where is he?
15
00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:10,714
Where's Braddock?
16
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:17,638
- What happened?
- An ambush!
17
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:19,974
- From where?
- From the hill!
18
00:02:28,941 --> 00:02:33,112
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
19
00:02:33,612 --> 00:02:34,738
Ah!
20
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:04,643
Don't bother,
Washington.
21
00:03:04,768 --> 00:03:06,395
The battle is lost!
22
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:08,188
Where is the general?
23
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:11,650
He ordered the retreat.
There, it's death.
24
00:03:11,775 --> 00:03:12,902
And my men?
25
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:16,030
- They are lost.
- The Virginians.
26
00:03:16,739 --> 00:03:18,616
They were on the front line.
27
00:03:21,619 --> 00:03:23,704
If you go there, you will die.
28
00:03:24,455 --> 00:03:27,374
You already look dead.
Listen to me...
29
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:33,672
You won't find them,
and if so, without return.
30
00:03:35,132 --> 00:03:37,718
Washington...Washington!
31
00:03:38,761 --> 00:03:42,723
Let's get out of here.
Is it worth the risk?
32
00:03:50,606 --> 00:03:54,318
TWELVE YEARS EARLIER

00:03:58,113 --> 00:04:02,368
KING GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
34
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:24,139
Mary. I'm sorry.
35
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:27,101
It must be Jack.
36
00:04:27,226 --> 00:04:29,728
Yes, it's our Jack.
37
00:04:32,022 --> 00:04:33,524
Where is he?
38
00:04:33,983 --> 00:04:36,986
This way.
He hasn't spoken since...
39
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:40,197
the death of his father.
40
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:55,129
Hello, George.
41
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,223
Do you remember me?
42
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:09,852
I'm your half-brother Lawrence.
43
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:13,439
Are you an officer?
44
00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:14,982
I was, yes.
45
00:05:16,066 --> 00:05:18,110
Navy Captain
of His Majesty.
46
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,406
I have something for you.
47
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:29,455
A topographer's compass.
48
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:32,041
It measures distances
on land and sea.
49
00:05:32,916 --> 00:05:34,752
It belonged to your father...
50
00:05:35,461 --> 00:05:36,879
she's yours now.
51
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:39,089
You don't need it?
52
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:42,176
My next adventure,
it's here with you, George.
53
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:47,473
I was appointed adjutant general
of the Virginia militia.
54
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,392
Are you going to command soldiers?
55
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,561
I'm going to organize the militia.
56
00:05:53,771 --> 00:05:55,355
Volunteers.
57
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:19,379
The Washingtons
die young?
58
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:20,714
What?
59
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,842
I heard that
Washingtonians die young.
60
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:26,428
That it's a curse
of our name.
61
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:28,347
Is it true?
62
00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:32,351
Are you afraid of dying?
63
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:46,990
Mom says I won't go
no longer at school.
64
00:06:47,116 --> 00:06:49,535
Rent the land
is not shameful.
65
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:50,911
It's honorable.
66
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,871
It's not
what I want.
67
00:06:52,996 --> 00:06:54,957
It's your duty.
68
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:57,835
Times and circumstances
have changed.
69
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,922
William Fairfax goes to school.
Why not me?
70
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,675
The Fairfaxes are
of a higher class.
71
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:07,052
With advantages
that we will never have.
72
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,098
The world is often unfair.
73
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:16,019
You have to take what we give you
give and do something with it.
74
00:07:16,145 --> 00:07:17,354
Between.
75
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:25,445
George, where are you going?
76
00:07:25,571 --> 00:07:27,447
To school!
77
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,159
Stubborn.
78
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:40,627
- It's two miles!
- I know!
79
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,923
- They won't leave you.
- Yes!
80
00:07:52,222 --> 00:07:56,018
Don't attack the tree.
George, that's enough.
81
00:07:57,895 --> 00:08:00,522
They didn't let me pass
because of you.
82
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:02,649
We have nothing left!
83
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,655
Nothing ? We have... 250 acres,
84
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,617
ten captive slaves
to feed
85
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:14,870
and a widow's purse,
almost empty.
86
00:08:15,329 --> 00:08:19,374
You are the eldest in this house,
you have a duty.
87
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,752
I don't want this,
I want more!
88
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:24,963
I wanted my husband
cures fever!
89
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:26,506
Providence refused it to me.
90
00:08:26,632 --> 00:08:28,342
Providence is cruel!
91
00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:35,599
God raises
which is well founded.
92
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:40,729
You won't give up
your duties, nor I mine.
93
00:08:40,896 --> 00:08:46,860
You are my son and a Washington,
behave like one!
94
00:09:20,686 --> 00:09:24,606
Hold. Courtesy rules
and good conduct.
95
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:27,234
You will learn to become
a true gentleman.
96
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:33,156
Then you will read Cato, Plutarch,
essential readings.
97
00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:35,993
Seneca and Cincinnatus.
98
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:39,997
To be big,
study those who have been.
99
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:43,834
There are many books,
I know...
100
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:49,214
I'm really sorry
of your bad luck, George.
101
00:09:50,132 --> 00:09:54,136
If no one teaches you...
I'm the one who will do it.
102
00:09:55,971 --> 00:09:59,349
I can lend you these...
one by one...
103
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:03,312
if you do your homework.
104
00:10:08,358 --> 00:10:10,902
What should show
every public act?
105
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:13,363
“Respect
towards those who are there. »
106
00:10:13,488 --> 00:10:15,324
For you, what is it?
respect?
107
00:10:15,449 --> 00:10:19,828
Listen and obey
to those we respect.
108
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:21,413
Maybe.
109
00:10:21,913 --> 00:10:24,333
Obedience can be
an order.
110
00:10:24,458 --> 00:10:29,546
Respect is earned. It is for
that's why I'm a soldier.
111
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:36,303
Aristocracy is a game,
George.
112
00:10:36,428 --> 00:10:39,348
You can learn
to play there.
113
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:41,516
Which room are we?
114
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,477
We're pawns, George.
115
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:48,482
But a pawn can take
a king.
116
00:10:48,607 --> 00:10:49,816
Again ?
117
00:10:50,359 --> 00:10:51,526
Yes.
118
00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:54,321
- Standing.
- Oh...
119
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:57,115
Very good, George.
120
00:10:57,908 --> 00:11:00,410
Low heels,
high chest.
121
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:03,372
I believe you can
riding alone now.
122
00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:06,208
- You don't think so?
- Yes.
123
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:08,377
Very good.
Continue like this.
124
00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:12,672
Not so fast.
125
00:11:12,798 --> 00:11:14,883
Watch your posture.
126
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:19,262
Get the
applause
127
00:11:19,388 --> 00:11:20,806
of those
who deserve them...
128
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:23,183
is a real satisfaction.
129
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:32,150
Deserving them is my wish.
130
00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:46,998
{\an8}WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA, 1753
131
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:52,045
There it is. The boy
who writes all these letters...
132
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:54,589
Requesting a
royal commission?
133
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,634
Yes, sir. I want
be a British officer.
134
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:00,929
Ensign or lieutenant,
according to His Majesty.
135
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:03,890
My brother wrote
in my name.
136
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:06,935
Lawrence Washington.
He served under...
137
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:10,021
If you allow,
the purchase price
138
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:13,024
for a sign
would be 700 pounds.
139
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:15,902
- Do you have this amount?
- No, sir.
140
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:18,071
Join instead
the militia.
141
00:12:18,196 --> 00:12:20,615
I want to serve the Crown
as an officer.
142
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,617
And how much land
do you own?
143
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:25,996
I manage the inheritance
of my brother,
144
00:12:26,121 --> 00:12:27,456
in Mount Vernon.
145
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:30,208
Farmer. Your education?
146
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:33,211
I no longer went to school
since my father died.
147
00:12:33,336 --> 00:12:35,797
But I got
my surveyor's license.
148
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:39,551
To be a British officer,
you have to be a gentleman.
149
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:42,971
Why my brother
was qualified and not me?
150
00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:44,598
He is the owner
from Mount Vernon.
151
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:47,058
He was educated
properly in England
152
00:12:47,184 --> 00:12:50,937
- and married a Fairfax woman.
- He was my mentor.
153
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:53,607
I studied to become
a gentleman.
154
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,817
I even recorded
what I learned.
155
00:12:55,942 --> 00:12:59,988
- How much have you written?
- I have compiled other books.
156
00:13:00,113 --> 00:13:02,324
These are Rules
Courtesy and Conduct...
157
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:05,035
- So you plagiarized.
- No...
158
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:07,204
Well, yes, but...
159
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:10,957
Imitate the best
won't make you one.
160
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:18,131
How to become
officer of the Crown?
161
00:13:18,256 --> 00:13:20,050
- Impossible.
- There must be a way.
162
00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:22,427
Not for you.
163
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:27,599
Stop writing to me
letters, please.
164
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:34,481
Out !
165
00:14:05,512 --> 00:14:06,763
Hello, Jack.
166
00:14:08,473 --> 00:14:10,016
What a pleasure to see you.
167
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:13,436
Are you an officer?
168
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:16,815
Not yet. A day.
169
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:19,109
Or never...
170
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,820
If God can hear me.
171
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:40,005
“Avoid small talk. »
Especially today.
172
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:47,887
Where are you going?
173
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:51,308
See Lawrence.
174
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,854
In Belvoir? Without invitation.
How do you plan to get in?
175
00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:58,023
Is it a sin to want
grow up?
176
00:14:58,148 --> 00:14:59,524
For them, yes.
177
00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:02,652
You're just a pawn for them.
178
00:15:05,113 --> 00:15:08,241
A pawn can put
a failed king.
179
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:20,462
{\an8}BELVOIR ESTATE, VIRGINIA
180
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:26,426
Your invitation.
181
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:30,013
I'm Mr. Washington,
George Washington.
182
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:33,475
Half-brother of Lawrence,
married to Anne,
183
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,060
formerly Fairfax.
184
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:38,438
THANKS. Your invitation,
sir?
185
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,360
I don't have it.
186
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:47,947
The guests were
carefully chosen...
187
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:50,659
I suggest you find it,
Mr. Washington.
188
00:15:51,743 --> 00:15:52,911
Sir ?
189
00:15:54,329 --> 00:15:56,748
Enter. Yes, thank you.
190
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:33,243
Good evening.
191
00:16:33,368 --> 00:16:34,536
Good evening.
192
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:38,498
We need ice.
Could you wear this?
193
00:16:38,623 --> 00:16:40,125
It's not necessary.
194
00:16:43,878 --> 00:16:45,880
How to enter?
195
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:09,696
You are out of place.
196
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:13,324
He managed.
197
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:17,203
Most enter
through the main door.
198
00:17:17,328 --> 00:17:19,914
My brother spoke to me
of this evening. He got...
199
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:23,209
Married to Anne Fairfax. I know.
200
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:27,046
You, on the other hand, are not...
201
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:30,383
The son of one of the families
the most fortunate
202
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:32,761
from Virginia?
That's right, I'm not.
203
00:17:33,344 --> 00:17:34,512
But me, yes.
204
00:17:34,637 --> 00:17:39,768
I am rich. However...
I don't feel like I belong.
205
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:42,729
As if the roses
did not belong to the garden.
206
00:17:44,856 --> 00:17:48,943
THANKS. I would be delighted
to hear more.
207
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,616
This is the disadvantage
to invite yourself to a party.
208
00:17:55,325 --> 00:17:58,995
You, sir,
you stand out from the crowd.
209
00:18:00,872 --> 00:18:02,165
Dance with me.
210
00:18:03,124 --> 00:18:05,376
I only dance with
real guests.
211
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:08,922
Dance with someone
which is worth it...
212
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:11,132
because I don't see any here.
213
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:16,054
Mr. Washington, what nerve.
214
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,351
- I'd better leave.
- Where?
215
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:25,230
Fulfill my duty.
216
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:28,775
Delighted.
217
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:35,532
With delicacy,
George.
218
00:18:35,657 --> 00:18:37,909
Better to be careful.
219
00:18:38,993 --> 00:18:43,414
Your family would benefit
if you married a Fairfax.
220
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:44,749
Like you?
221
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:52,549
Yes. Before that,
my chances were slim.
222
00:18:54,592 --> 00:18:56,761
Everything was working against me.
223
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,516
Everything still plays
against us.
224
00:19:02,517 --> 00:19:03,852
Wish me luck.
225
00:19:04,853 --> 00:19:06,020
Good luck.
226
00:19:11,943 --> 00:19:13,236
William.
227
00:19:13,361 --> 00:19:15,154
Thank you for having me
at your home.
228
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,532
George, what a surprise.
229
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,659
I didn't expect
to see you here.
230
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:22,078
How did you get in?
231
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:25,206
The promise of beautiful women
attracted me.
232
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,041
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
233
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:28,501
No way.
234
00:19:29,586 --> 00:19:33,006
This is Thomas Gage,
just made major,
235
00:19:33,131 --> 00:19:36,634
arrived from London
by order of the Crown.
236
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:38,803
- Delighted.
- The pleasure is all mine.
237
00:19:38,928 --> 00:19:41,014
I also hope to serve
His Majesty.
238
00:19:41,139 --> 00:19:44,851
Washington, what do you think?
French people who build
239
00:19:44,976 --> 00:19:46,853
strong on our land?
240
00:19:46,978 --> 00:19:51,608
Ohio is a frontier.
It belongs to whoever tames it.
241
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:53,318
Well said.
242
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:57,906
In reality, it belongs
to whoever buys it.
243
00:19:58,364 --> 00:20:00,825
This is how
things work.
244
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:05,955
A minuet.
I love the minuet.
245
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:08,791
I think I will have
my first dance,
246
00:20:08,917 --> 00:20:10,251
if you will excuse me.
247
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:17,800
Delighted to meet you.
See you soon, I hope.
248
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:19,218
It was a pleasure.
249
00:20:23,514 --> 00:20:26,225
- Where are you going ?
- To my solemn duty.
250
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:43,993
Oh...
251
00:20:46,329 --> 00:20:48,706
Lord Fairfax,
will you excuse me,
252
00:20:48,831 --> 00:20:51,542
I dreamed of seeing
your library.
253
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:55,088
These are real tenants.
254
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,466
You are ?
255
00:20:58,591 --> 00:21:01,052
George Washington, sir.
Brother of Lawrence.
256
00:21:01,177 --> 00:21:02,637
I didn't know that he
invited you.
257
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:04,681
Me neither, to be honest.
258
00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:08,601
Ah! So I surprised you
entering...
259
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:12,397
and you catch me going out.
Enter.
260
00:21:14,023 --> 00:21:17,986
These evenings bore me,
so I hide,
261
00:21:18,236 --> 00:21:20,071
until my wife
finds me
262
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:22,448
and asks me to go out.
263
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:26,536
“When vice prevails
and the wicked reign...
264
00:21:26,661 --> 00:21:29,831
honor becomes
a private privilege. »
265
00:21:29,956 --> 00:21:31,165
Cato?
266
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,292
- Have you seen the play?
- No,
267
00:21:33,418 --> 00:21:35,044
but I read it
about fifty times.
268
00:21:35,461 --> 00:21:38,006
"It doesn't belong
for mortals to ensure
269
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:40,341
success, but we will
we deserve it. »
270
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:41,884
Well said.
271
00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:44,387
Would you have
“The Essay on Man”?
272
00:21:44,512 --> 00:21:47,098
Can I borrow it from you?
273
00:21:47,223 --> 00:21:50,393
I have a letter
of your cousin.
274
00:21:50,518 --> 00:21:54,439
- An original, right?
- Certainly.
275
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:57,400
He lent me a book
on the topography.
276
00:21:57,567 --> 00:21:59,485
His library
is not very big.
277
00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:01,779
I used it well
and obtained my license.
278
00:22:02,030 --> 00:22:04,198
I know you have
five million acres.
279
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,826
Any owner
always covets
280
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:09,746
the neighbor's land.
281
00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:13,207
Of course.
282
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,046
I also know that these lands
are in the Ohio Valley...
283
00:22:18,171 --> 00:22:19,797
not mapped.
284
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:23,885
A storm is approaching
in the Ohio territories.
285
00:22:25,386 --> 00:22:26,929
It's inevitable.
286
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:30,516
I can go
and make a card for you.
287
00:22:30,641 --> 00:22:33,519
Unmapped terrain
cannot be estimated
288
00:22:33,644 --> 00:22:34,896
nor protected.
289
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:36,856
These territories
have not been explored.
290
00:22:36,981 --> 00:22:39,275
Those who went there
did not return.
291
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,360
It's true, but...
292
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:44,572
The one who lives easily
has no name
293
00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:47,950
worthy of being remembered.
I accept the risk.
294
00:22:48,076 --> 00:22:50,411
I will go to the limits
the most distant
295
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:53,539
and will report to you.
My word binds him.
296
00:22:53,664 --> 00:22:56,000
This man bothers you,
sir?
297
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:03,925
Barely. I accept,
George.
298
00:23:04,425 --> 00:23:05,760
Thank you, sir.
299
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:15,478
Enjoy the evening,
Washington.
300
00:23:23,861 --> 00:23:26,489
Watch where you step.
301
00:23:32,662 --> 00:23:34,038
Christopher Gist.
302
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:37,917
George? George.
303
00:23:42,088 --> 00:23:44,382
- Nice to see you.
- Me the same.
304
00:23:44,507 --> 00:23:47,009
George, here is
the Frisk brothers.
305
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:50,555
Henry, the eldest,
and the youngest David,
306
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,057
my two most loyal friends.
307
00:23:53,182 --> 00:23:54,892
We can't make them
confidence.
308
00:23:56,394 --> 00:23:57,687
Beautiful coat.
309
00:23:57,812 --> 00:23:59,438
Attention ! I
could steal it from you.
310
00:23:59,564 --> 00:24:01,691
- Shut up...
- Leave him alone.
311
00:24:03,234 --> 00:24:06,988
where are you from
so clean and fresh?
312
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:10,575
From Belvoir.
313
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,994
Oh !
314
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:16,873
What if we did
a little bet?
315
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:22,712
Make one for me.
316
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:26,966
I like it.
- What are you doing here?
317
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:28,509
We will have work.
318
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:30,553
I'm too drunk for that.
319
00:24:30,678 --> 00:24:32,471
Ambition waits for no one.
320
00:24:32,597 --> 00:24:33,723
What is it about?
321
00:24:33,848 --> 00:24:36,350
Explore Ohio
and its surroundings.
322
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:39,145
I need someone
to keep me alive.
323
00:24:39,270 --> 00:24:41,189
- For whom?
- For Lord Fairfax.
324
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,815
Oh.
325
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:46,152
- Which part?
- Almost all.
326
00:24:46,277 --> 00:24:47,820
It's paid per acre.
327
00:24:53,117 --> 00:24:55,912
Well, it has to be done.
328
00:24:58,122 --> 00:25:00,875
- To Virginia!
To Virginia!
329
00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:08,841
This is the last time, Henry!
Think of your mother!
330
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:11,427
David!
She is also your mother!
331
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:24,273
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Yes.
332
00:25:27,276 --> 00:25:28,986
But it doesn't belong to you.
333
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,406
If we sink,
it doesn't belong to anyone.
334
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:42,291
Dear miss...
by discovering this new world,
335
00:25:42,416 --> 00:25:44,752
I am writing to express
my joy.
336
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:47,546
I felt honored
by kind favor
337
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:48,673
that you granted to me
338
00:25:48,798 --> 00:25:50,299
during our
first meeting.
339
00:25:50,424 --> 00:25:53,844
These words come from someone
sensitive to your charms,
340
00:25:53,970 --> 00:25:57,932
unable to deny power
to which he submits.
341
00:25:58,057 --> 00:26:00,351
I know it's impossible,
but...
342
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:03,604
if you allow me
to prove myself,
343
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:05,731
I will not disappoint you.
344
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:12,280
I would like to be with you,
or have you here.
345
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,782
For you to contemplate
the beauty of this land.
346
00:26:17,118 --> 00:26:18,744
Let's see who it is.
347
00:26:18,869 --> 00:26:20,830
Hey, give it back to me.
348
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,581
Miss Sally Cary?
349
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:28,421
Send a petition
to the Queen of England.
350
00:26:28,546 --> 00:26:31,716
She is above you...
it always will be.
351
00:26:33,884 --> 00:26:35,886
Fight in fights
that you can win.
352
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:43,894
“Your humble and
devoted servant. »

THREE MONTHS LATER
354
00:26:59,076 --> 00:27:02,580
We won't be able to go back
before winter.
355
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:05,583
The horses did
their part.
356
00:27:05,708 --> 00:27:07,209
We must abandon them.
357
00:27:07,335 --> 00:27:11,922
There is a village,
half a day from here.
358
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:15,384
A refuge from the cold.
359
00:27:15,509 --> 00:27:19,930
No, it's too long.
You'd rather die of cold.
360
00:27:21,098 --> 00:27:22,641
We have to go back.
361
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:25,603
To see your wife?
To get paid.
362
00:27:26,312 --> 00:27:29,607
A gentleman should not
not lie to himself.
363
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,011
He doesn't like your compass.
364
00:28:01,347 --> 00:28:03,349
Give him the horses.
George?
365
00:28:03,474 --> 00:28:07,311
We don't need it anymore.
They can be useful to them.
366
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:09,647
Dying horses?
367
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:13,818
In exchange for land
that my father gave me?
368
00:28:15,611 --> 00:28:17,113
And his father to his?
369
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:23,202
Nobody will take us
what belongs to us.
370
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:25,704
We are not coming
claim it.
371
00:28:29,667 --> 00:28:31,127
We make a map.
372
00:28:53,691 --> 00:28:55,776
I know what you want,
foreigner.
373
00:28:57,445 --> 00:28:59,155
I have something
to offer you.
374
00:29:02,283 --> 00:29:03,742
For your king.
375
00:29:23,512 --> 00:29:24,805
And this fort?
376
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:28,225
He belongs to the French.
377
00:29:36,817 --> 00:29:40,613
Are you sure it's
the quickest way?
378
00:29:40,738 --> 00:29:42,364
We'll arrive before then.
379
00:29:42,490 --> 00:29:45,367
If we fall,
we will freeze to death.
380
00:29:45,493 --> 00:29:47,620
It is necessary to transmit
this information.
381
00:29:49,163 --> 00:29:52,833
You surprised me —
you speak their language.
382
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:55,211
“Know your enemy. »
383
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:58,255
Enemies? They us
let them go.
384
00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:00,591
Only because they
hate the French...
385
00:30:00,716 --> 00:30:02,092
More than us.
386
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:07,473
George? Look at.
387
00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:17,566
We have to get to the shore!
388
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:19,318
Push.
389
00:30:19,443 --> 00:30:22,029
Push!
To the shore!
390
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:23,656
The current is strong.
391
00:30:25,699 --> 00:30:26,825
No.
392
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,747
Christopher... hold on.
393
00:30:31,872 --> 00:30:33,457
Agh!
394
00:30:36,252 --> 00:30:37,878
- Oh!
- Oh...
395
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:47,763
Nothing.
396
00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:51,141
Quickly, Christopher!
397
00:30:57,982 --> 00:30:59,900
Dry land.
398
00:31:17,084 --> 00:31:20,379
George, you can
swim across?
399
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:31,307
Stay awake, George.
400
00:31:56,332 --> 00:32:00,210
Christopher.
Christopher, wake up.
401
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:03,172
Wake up...Christopher!
402
00:32:09,553 --> 00:32:11,430
Do you believe in miracles?
403
00:32:18,187 --> 00:32:20,606
- Standing.
- I'm frozen.
404
00:32:23,192 --> 00:32:24,735
Shall we give it a try?
405
00:32:50,761 --> 00:32:52,429
Can you confirm this?
406
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:56,225
Yes. And Christopher Gist.
407
00:32:58,727 --> 00:33:00,938
If you send it
to Governor Dinwiddie,
408
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:02,314
he could...
409
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:08,946
Destroy it. That's what they say.
410
00:33:15,452 --> 00:33:16,495
We're all dead.
411
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,708
I can't see
the governor as well.
412
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:25,212
Are you looking to move up?
413
00:33:27,172 --> 00:33:29,508
My situation is
your answer.
414
00:33:52,489 --> 00:33:54,908
Did you see this?
415
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,618
Yes, Your Excellency.
416
00:33:56,744 --> 00:34:00,414
On land
belonging to the Fairfaxes.
417
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:03,500
Part of it belongs to me
too.
418
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:05,461
This invasion is unacceptable.
419
00:34:05,586 --> 00:34:08,088
- Tell them to leave.
- Who, sir?
420
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:09,840
We don't know where they are.
421
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:13,469
I do, sir.
I can lead the expedition.
422
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:15,763
The French will know
your requirements.
423
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:18,056
I know very well
the ground, sir.
424
00:34:18,182 --> 00:34:21,435
Since the Crown
sent me here,
425
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,395
I hadn't had
good experiences
426
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,898
- with a colon.
- I hope to change that.
427
00:34:26,023 --> 00:34:29,526
If there is a shipment,
your brother must lead it.
428
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:31,111
He commands the militia.
429
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:33,197
Lawrence's health
is not good.
430
00:34:33,322 --> 00:34:35,741
He can no longer fill
its functions.
431
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:39,953
Here. He recommended me
to replace it.
432
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:45,834
I see you are ambitious.
433
00:34:45,959 --> 00:34:47,836
Yes, sir. I am.
434
00:34:47,961 --> 00:34:48,837
And you met the boss
435
00:34:48,962 --> 00:34:50,506
called "Half-King".
436
00:34:50,631 --> 00:34:51,924
I met him.
437
00:34:52,049 --> 00:34:55,219
He told me this information,
but I cannot guarantee
438
00:34:55,344 --> 00:34:59,014
- that it is reliable.
- I'm glad I didn't.
439
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:04,561
Speak to the Half-King,
learn from them.
440
00:35:04,686 --> 00:35:06,814
Then lead your men
at the fort
441
00:35:06,939 --> 00:35:08,273
and tell them to leave.
442
00:35:08,857 --> 00:35:10,150
My...
443
00:35:10,651 --> 00:35:12,569
My men, sir?
444
00:35:12,694 --> 00:35:16,323
Yes, recruit some.
About 150 Virginians.
445
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:19,243
Order them
and deliver the message.
446
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:21,620
What message?
447
00:35:21,745 --> 00:35:24,248
Let them leave immediately.
448
00:35:24,373 --> 00:35:25,791
What if the French refuse?
449
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:28,752
- Don't let them refuse.
- Shall we fight?
450
00:35:28,877 --> 00:35:32,422
You will deliver the message
and wait for orders.
451
00:35:32,548 --> 00:35:34,925
If I may,
won't you need
452
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:37,052
professional soldiers
of the Crown?
453
00:35:37,177 --> 00:35:38,595
The militia is enough.
454
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,181
And you will be guided
by someone ambitious.
455
00:35:42,307 --> 00:35:45,853
You will receive the rank
major in the militia,
456
00:35:45,978 --> 00:35:47,855
without a royal commission,
is that understood?
457
00:35:49,982 --> 00:35:53,068
We have an interpreter.
Van Braam, a Dutchman.
458
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,611
Take him away.
459
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:57,948
Will we get paid
the same, sir?
460
00:35:58,448 --> 00:35:59,616
Same as who?
461
00:36:00,325 --> 00:36:02,369
That the officers
of the Crown.
462
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:04,830
Mr Washington,
you went from being a farmer
463
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:09,251
to major in seconds.
This offends me.
464
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:11,128
My service will be voluntary.
465
00:36:12,087 --> 00:36:16,133
Those who do the same
will not be paid less.
466
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:18,510
Sir.
467
00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:21,346
God save the King.
468
00:36:38,697 --> 00:36:40,407
Thank you for your letters.
469
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:42,534
I still read them
and again.
470
00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:46,705
“At the fork of the river,
the world opened
471
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:49,374
as if God himself
had pulled aside the curtain
472
00:36:49,499 --> 00:36:51,084
begins. »
473
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:56,757
No surveyor writes like this.
No, you...
474
00:36:56,882 --> 00:37:00,177
love the border like
a poet loves his muse.
475
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,179
For what ?
476
00:37:02,304 --> 00:37:06,099
She attracted me. She
offered justice.
477
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,476
- Justice?
- Yes.
478
00:37:07,601 --> 00:37:11,104
The border is new,
wild and virgin.
479
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,649
Big enough to forget
the past.
480
00:37:13,774 --> 00:37:15,067
What about the old rules?
481
00:37:15,192 --> 00:37:18,236
Dowries, fathers
who exchange their daughters?
482
00:37:18,362 --> 00:37:22,032
Or judge a man
on unknown ancestors.
483
00:37:24,952 --> 00:37:27,287
Are you afraid
to make the wrong choice?
484
00:37:29,122 --> 00:37:32,125
What you're looking for
disappears if you hesitate?
485
00:37:33,585 --> 00:37:36,672
The fear of not knowing
choosing is much worse.
486
00:37:39,132 --> 00:37:41,301
I was afraid to choose.
487
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:44,054
Then I understood that
I wasn't capable of it.
488
00:37:44,638 --> 00:37:47,182
So what do you choose?
489
00:37:59,778 --> 00:38:02,739
If we followed the river
towards the west...
490
00:38:02,864 --> 00:38:04,408
you and me alone...
491
00:38:05,409 --> 00:38:07,285
What to call this life?
492
00:38:09,329 --> 00:38:12,290
Wild...beautiful.
493
00:38:13,834 --> 00:38:16,920
Dangerous... but free.
494
00:38:20,507 --> 00:38:22,968
I aspire to courage
that I see in you.
495
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:26,263
And I, to your sincere grace.
496
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,519
I have to leave.
497
00:38:36,064 --> 00:38:37,357
Where?
498
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:41,069
Another meeting.
Another performance.
499
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:45,490
A solemn duty.
500
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:27,532
I congratulate you
for your first commandment.
501
00:39:27,657 --> 00:39:30,452
An army of outlaws,
mercenaries,
502
00:39:30,577 --> 00:39:33,538
of slaves and... of patriots.
503
00:39:33,663 --> 00:39:36,708
- Do the carts have rum?
- Rationed only.
504
00:39:36,833 --> 00:39:38,543
Ration a little.
505
00:39:38,668 --> 00:39:40,796
- Return to the line, Frisk.
- What rank?
506
00:39:40,921 --> 00:39:43,507
It looks more like
a snake trail.
507
00:39:43,632 --> 00:39:45,509
Too narrow
for carts.
508
00:39:45,634 --> 00:39:48,512
- We have to abandon him.
- And the rum, then?
509
00:39:48,637 --> 00:39:49,930
Good point.
510
00:39:51,014 --> 00:39:53,058
-Tucker.
- Yes, sir.
511
00:39:53,183 --> 00:39:56,103
We're camping here tonight.
Make sure the path
512
00:39:56,228 --> 00:39:57,604
is cleared.
513
00:40:04,945 --> 00:40:08,865
I wake up at midnight,
George goes deep into the woods,
514
00:40:08,990 --> 00:40:11,827
leans against a tree,
his musket in hand,
515
00:40:11,952 --> 00:40:13,745
said he was keeping watch.
516
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:17,124
Are you afraid of the dark?
Do you remember that, George?
517
00:40:19,209 --> 00:40:22,003
Another love letter?
518
00:40:22,129 --> 00:40:24,214
This woman will soften you.
519
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:33,181
It's Tucker's horse.
520
00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:47,612
Van Braam.
521
00:40:50,282 --> 00:40:52,159
Do we have a dispute?
522
00:40:53,201 --> 00:40:55,704
We have no
conflict with you.
523
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:57,956
We just...
524
00:40:58,081 --> 00:40:59,666
talk to the French.
525
00:41:01,376 --> 00:41:02,544
Good to see you.
526
00:41:04,838 --> 00:41:08,508
I am Tanacharison,
of the Iroquois nation.
527
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,510
You are riding on our land.
528
00:41:10,635 --> 00:41:12,846
The governor says
that you can help us.
529
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:17,601
Many support
French, why not you?
530
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:20,812
I know their nature...
531
00:41:21,605 --> 00:41:23,273
and their intentions.
532
00:41:24,441 --> 00:41:27,235
- Yours?
- Ask them to leave.
533
00:41:27,611 --> 00:41:29,279
And when they refuse?
534
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:32,073
- It's not my decision.
- But you are here.
535
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:36,494
Any help from you
would be appreciated.
536
00:41:42,751 --> 00:41:44,127
What do they call you?
537
00:41:45,587 --> 00:41:46,796
George.
538
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:50,008
Major George Washington.
539
00:42:02,062 --> 00:42:04,189
The French fort
is a day away.
540
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:07,776
We can get you there.
541
00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:19,246
MAY 23, 1754
542
00:42:40,642 --> 00:42:42,143
Why are they here?
543
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:04,124
Why do you hate them?
544
00:43:06,376 --> 00:43:08,503
When I was a child...
545
00:43:08,628 --> 00:43:13,550
the French captured me.
546
00:43:13,675 --> 00:43:18,305
I saw my father boiling...
547
00:43:18,430 --> 00:43:22,183
and eat it.
548
00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:32,652
From the royal governor
of Virginia.
549
00:43:32,777 --> 00:43:37,907
Sir, the lands
along the Ohio
550
00:43:38,033 --> 00:43:41,828
belong to the
Crown of Great Britain.
551
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:45,206
It is worrying
to learn that
552
00:43:45,332 --> 00:43:48,168
French forces
build fortresses
553
00:43:48,293 --> 00:43:51,046
in the domains
of Her Majesty.
554
00:43:51,171 --> 00:43:52,547
His domain?
555
00:43:54,841 --> 00:43:56,301
Please continue.
556
00:43:57,385 --> 00:43:59,012
In the name of the King, my lord,
557
00:43:59,137 --> 00:44:01,348
I sent the carrier
of this message,
558
00:44:01,473 --> 00:44:04,059
Major George Washington,
559
00:44:04,184 --> 00:44:07,687
general help
of this British domain.
560
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:13,777
You are the Major,
or his help?
561
00:44:14,361 --> 00:44:15,820
I'm Major Washington.
562
00:44:37,550 --> 00:44:39,135
He invites us to dinner.
563
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:00,031
Let's talk in private.
564
00:45:07,414 --> 00:45:11,960
He says it's not
not necessary. We are friends.
565
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:19,342
He knows the enemy well.
566
00:45:23,721 --> 00:45:27,600
Why are you the Major?
567
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:32,814
Do you have a beard?
568
00:45:33,189 --> 00:45:36,693
You have no
military service, right?
569
00:45:37,569 --> 00:45:39,946
Surprising, you are not
not British,
570
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:42,657
but we send you
speak for them.
571
00:45:42,782 --> 00:45:44,993
Why, in your opinion?
572
00:45:45,452 --> 00:45:50,498
To have a culprit
if you fail.
573
00:45:52,125 --> 00:45:56,337
The king demands that you leave
the Ohio region
574
00:45:56,463 --> 00:45:58,631
and all these territories.
575
00:45:59,841 --> 00:46:02,927
This land was claimed
by the British Crown.
576
00:46:03,928 --> 00:46:06,556
And when? Let's see...
577
00:46:07,682 --> 00:46:09,476
When did they claim it?
578
00:46:10,894 --> 00:46:12,312
You must withdraw.
579
00:46:12,437 --> 00:46:15,023
Because you believe
that it belongs to you?
580
00:46:16,941 --> 00:46:21,613
The master of a place
is the one who tamed him.
581
00:46:37,629 --> 00:46:39,047
I accept your message.
582
00:46:40,507 --> 00:46:41,925
I have it.
583
00:46:43,218 --> 00:46:44,552
Leave now.
584
00:46:46,387 --> 00:46:48,181
The king demands an answer.
585
00:46:53,978 --> 00:46:57,357
Tell your king
that we claimed it.
586
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:01,110
We will never leave.
587
00:47:01,861 --> 00:47:03,905
We will force you to leave.
588
00:47:09,285 --> 00:47:11,788
You don't want
start a war.
589
00:47:16,876 --> 00:47:19,796
Take your dogs
and leave.
590
00:47:28,429 --> 00:47:30,807
Camp
ten miles south.
591
00:47:30,932 --> 00:47:33,184
I will ride
to deliver the message.
592
00:47:33,309 --> 00:47:36,229
- Someone to explore?
- I can go quickly.
593
00:48:03,673 --> 00:48:04,924
Major.
594
00:48:06,009 --> 00:48:08,845
Deliver that ultimatum, now.
595
00:48:11,347 --> 00:48:13,891
The French have me
spat in the face.
596
00:48:14,017 --> 00:48:15,685
With all respect,
I could...
597
00:48:15,810 --> 00:48:18,855
Transcribe whatever you want!
Bring this back tomorrow morning.
598
00:48:20,857 --> 00:48:24,611
Well, give me one night
rest and fresh frames.
599
00:48:24,736 --> 00:48:26,070
We traveled
300 miles...
600
00:48:26,195 --> 00:48:28,239
You will rest when
the borders
601
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:29,824
of His
Majesty will do it.
602
00:48:29,949 --> 00:48:32,869
Before dawn you
submit a transcript.
603
00:48:32,994 --> 00:48:35,997
Maps, estimates,
every detail for the report
604
00:48:36,122 --> 00:48:38,541
council at ten o'clock.
Understood ?
605
00:48:38,666 --> 00:48:40,460
- Understood, sir.
- GOOD.
606
00:48:40,585 --> 00:48:41,919
Leave.
607
00:48:42,045 --> 00:48:44,088
Prove that the Crown
608
00:48:44,213 --> 00:48:45,923
because of you
trust.
609
00:48:49,886 --> 00:48:52,305
This is a situation
dangerous, George.
610
00:48:53,890 --> 00:48:55,475
Will you put it back?
611
00:48:57,143 --> 00:49:00,021
- I was ordered to do it.
- You offered.
612
00:49:04,651 --> 00:49:05,777
No.
613
00:49:06,319 --> 00:49:08,029
- I could talk...
- No.
614
00:49:08,154 --> 00:49:11,532
- It's the awaited moment.
- I don't think so.
615
00:49:14,494 --> 00:49:16,913
Why no one
Didn't anyone else come forward?
616
00:49:18,081 --> 00:49:21,751
Why no officer
British won't go there?
617
00:49:26,172 --> 00:49:29,258
He uses you
as its representative,
618
00:49:29,384 --> 00:49:32,053
to claim
what they want.
619
00:49:33,471 --> 00:49:36,182
If you succeed,
They will steal your glory.
620
00:49:36,557 --> 00:49:38,893
If you fail,
they will have a culprit.
621
00:49:39,018 --> 00:49:40,603
- I will not fail.
- If you fail,
622
00:49:40,728 --> 00:49:43,690
- you will start a war.
- Thank you for trusting me.
623
00:49:43,856 --> 00:49:45,608
This is not what
what I wanted to say.
624
00:49:46,025 --> 00:49:49,696
I will go talk to them
and I will earn their respect.
625
00:49:49,821 --> 00:49:52,407
This is what you got me
learned, right?
626
00:49:53,116 --> 00:49:56,119
- It's the new world.
- New world?
627
00:49:56,244 --> 00:49:59,122
The earth is new,
but the masters use
628
00:49:59,247 --> 00:50:01,040
- old ink.
- Let them write!
629
00:50:06,045 --> 00:50:07,630
You risk your life...
630
00:50:08,214 --> 00:50:10,883
for a system made
to crush you.
631
00:50:11,592 --> 00:50:14,804
Every victory you get
will be attributed to luck.
632
00:50:14,929 --> 00:50:17,974
Or to your indigenous allies
or the British.
633
00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:20,476
- But never to you.
- So...
634
00:50:21,227 --> 00:50:24,439
I remain to cultivate,
to live peacefully here
635
00:50:24,564 --> 00:50:27,984
- without doing anything?
- Better alive...
636
00:50:28,943 --> 00:50:30,903
only dead and forgotten.
637
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:33,114
- You sound like mom.
- I'm telling the truth.
638
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,242
I prefer to die obscure
what to believe that the world
639
00:50:36,367 --> 00:50:38,369
- has an opinion about me.
- It's...
640
00:50:38,494 --> 00:50:40,037
- pride.
- It's having faith
641
00:50:40,163 --> 00:50:41,539
in what you can build.
642
00:50:41,664 --> 00:50:43,541
But not in their system.
643
00:50:43,666 --> 00:50:44,876
Why not ?
644
00:50:45,001 --> 00:50:48,296
- The world doesn't work like that!
- Someone has to do it again!
645
00:50:52,341 --> 00:50:56,012
George, you can't
change these things.
646
00:50:58,055 --> 00:51:00,349
You might die trying.
647
00:51:03,728 --> 00:51:05,897
-George...
- I want you to believe in me.
648
00:51:32,924 --> 00:51:35,134
- Yes.
- He'll see what I'm talking about.
649
00:51:36,052 --> 00:51:37,345
Is she ready?
650
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,142
Maybe I could...
651
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:47,146
Major Washington.
652
00:51:47,271 --> 00:51:49,524
You don't take your men
at the border?
653
00:51:49,649 --> 00:51:50,900
Tomorrow.
654
00:51:51,025 --> 00:51:54,529
I came back for an emergency.
I'm leaving at dawn.
655
00:51:54,654 --> 00:51:56,447
Today I came
for you.
656
00:51:56,572 --> 00:51:57,865
Sir ?
657
00:51:58,866 --> 00:52:00,952
George, there is no
of justice here.
658
00:52:01,410 --> 00:52:03,621
Excuse me,
do you want to dance?
659
00:52:06,791 --> 00:52:08,042
Yes, major.
660
00:52:44,662 --> 00:52:48,249
George, you found
a tailor, I see.
661
00:52:48,374 --> 00:52:51,127
Yes. I use the commission
of His Majesty.
662
00:52:51,252 --> 00:52:54,755
Tomorrow I lead 150 soldiers
ask the French
663
00:52:54,881 --> 00:52:56,382
- to leave.
- Yes...
664
00:52:57,425 --> 00:52:59,594
From our land,
to be precise.
665
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,680
And it's not exactly
a commission from Her Majesty.
666
00:53:02,805 --> 00:53:05,308
But your crimson uniform
indicates something else.
667
00:53:05,433 --> 00:53:06,475
William.
668
00:53:06,642 --> 00:53:09,353
I intended
to mention it, Sally.
669
00:53:09,478 --> 00:53:12,315
The problem is that
I fear for you, George.
670
00:53:12,857 --> 00:53:16,611
And I question
the governor's decision.
671
00:53:17,403 --> 00:53:20,656
If the situation with
the French is so serious,
672
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:24,827
why don't they send
professional soldiers?
673
00:53:24,952 --> 00:53:26,245
Because I volunteered.
674
00:53:27,580 --> 00:53:29,957
Why not you?
675
00:53:30,082 --> 00:53:35,880
I manage a domain
and a fortune.
676
00:53:36,297 --> 00:53:38,257
People depend on me.
677
00:53:40,134 --> 00:53:41,344
Although...
678
00:53:42,261 --> 00:53:45,932
I can send
two of my best slaves.
679
00:53:46,057 --> 00:53:47,558
Charles and Sam.
680
00:53:47,683 --> 00:53:51,520
Charles knows horses
better than anyone in Virginia.
681
00:53:52,396 --> 00:53:55,358
I wouldn't want
deprive you of their work.
682
00:53:56,067 --> 00:53:57,318
We have a lot of them.
683
00:53:57,944 --> 00:53:59,820
Major Washington.
684
00:54:01,364 --> 00:54:04,992
Congratulations on
your promotion.
685
00:54:05,117 --> 00:54:07,161
Truly remarkable.
686
00:54:07,745 --> 00:54:09,956
- Thank you, sir.
- So,
687
00:54:10,081 --> 00:54:13,793
what do you think
of young William and Sally?
688
00:54:13,918 --> 00:54:16,629
Don't you find
that they make a beautiful couple?
689
00:54:16,754 --> 00:54:19,924
We are reunited
to celebrate that.
690
00:54:20,049 --> 00:54:22,885
They are engaged
for a week.
691
00:54:25,054 --> 00:54:27,348
Ah, I congratulate you.
692
00:54:27,473 --> 00:54:31,102
Splendid. I would like
toast.
693
00:54:31,435 --> 00:54:34,605
To Major Washington,
who will ride...
694
00:54:43,114 --> 00:54:45,324
To Major Washington.
695
00:54:46,033 --> 00:54:49,203
William, Miss Cary.
Sorry for the commotion.
696
00:54:49,328 --> 00:54:53,624
I hope I deserve
your trust.
697
00:55:06,929 --> 00:55:09,432
Act defensively,
but if
698
00:55:09,557 --> 00:55:12,226
someone is trying to trash
our colonies,
699
00:55:12,351 --> 00:55:15,187
stop these bandits
and take them prisoner
700
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:17,606
or kill and destroy them.
701
00:55:18,274 --> 00:55:19,859
Clear as mud.
702
00:55:19,984 --> 00:55:22,319
“Destroy them”, really?
703
00:55:22,445 --> 00:55:26,157
If he wants war,
let him send real soldiers.
704
00:55:26,282 --> 00:55:28,242
- We're not coming to fight.
- SO ?
705
00:55:28,367 --> 00:55:30,536
- To get paid.
- It is our duty.
706
00:55:30,661 --> 00:55:34,665
No. His letter was delivered.
We have to leave.
707
00:55:34,790 --> 00:55:38,085
If you leave, you will be
whipped for desertion.
708
00:55:40,421 --> 00:55:42,840
We didn't sign
to wage war.
709
00:55:42,965 --> 00:55:46,052
You wear the uniform!
You took an oath.
710
00:55:47,511 --> 00:55:50,222
You have a duty, like me.
711
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:55,853
If it goes wrong,
Virginia will be blamed.
712
00:55:55,978 --> 00:55:58,606
Dinwiddie speaks
for the Crown!
713
00:55:59,899 --> 00:56:02,985
It's a direct order
and we will obey!
714
00:56:03,110 --> 00:56:04,528
Not entirely direct.
715
00:56:04,653 --> 00:56:06,489
The gods have you
sent to war.
716
00:56:06,614 --> 00:56:08,365
This is not our intention.
717
00:56:08,491 --> 00:56:10,409
I found
their camp.
718
00:56:11,410 --> 00:56:13,370
Much further south. Closer.
719
00:56:13,496 --> 00:56:16,040
- How far away?
- Five miles.
720
00:56:16,165 --> 00:56:18,417
He is looking for land
to build a fort.
721
00:56:18,542 --> 00:56:21,462
and ask them to leave,
according to him.
722
00:56:23,047 --> 00:56:24,590
Take me to him.
723
00:56:25,841 --> 00:56:29,178
We will reconnoitre the terrain.
All right ?
724
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:10,010
Drunk
of his own pride.
725
00:57:10,136 --> 00:57:13,180
He challenges you
and your king, coming here.
726
00:57:18,102 --> 00:57:19,478
What are you going to do?
727
00:57:25,276 --> 00:57:26,861
Stay.
728
00:57:26,986 --> 00:57:28,988
I will ask them to leave.
729
00:57:29,738 --> 00:57:31,740
What will you do if they refuse?
730
00:57:31,866 --> 00:57:33,450
Pray...
731
00:57:38,372 --> 00:57:40,124
Who shot?
732
00:57:45,754 --> 00:57:48,382
Don't move,
hold your positions!
733
00:58:02,563 --> 00:58:03,731
Fire !
734
00:58:15,618 --> 00:58:16,827
Hey !
735
00:58:23,334 --> 00:58:24,668
Agh!
736
00:58:35,471 --> 00:58:41,268
Cease the fire!
Take them prisoner...
737
00:58:42,770 --> 00:58:44,188
Ah!
738
00:58:44,772 --> 00:58:48,651
Ah...ah...
739
00:58:58,118 --> 00:58:59,662
Argh!
740
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:06,460
We should have killed you all.
741
00:59:12,466 --> 00:59:14,593
You are still alive, father.
742
00:59:18,639 --> 00:59:21,350
Wait! Wait...
743
00:59:29,775 --> 00:59:32,820
I don't know
who fired that shot,
744
00:59:32,945 --> 00:59:35,489
but continuation
to these events,
745
00:59:35,614 --> 00:59:39,868
I fear that a war with the
French is imminent.
746
00:59:39,994 --> 00:59:43,956
We are building a fort
and take a stand.
747
00:59:44,081 --> 00:59:46,625
In our common interest,
we ask
748
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:49,461
reinforcements for
support our mission.
749
00:59:51,714 --> 00:59:54,300
Why not
give them weapons?
750
00:59:54,425 --> 00:59:56,468
We need
all volunteers.
751
00:59:57,428 --> 01:00:01,181
They could shoot us
on it. You haven't thought about it?
752
01:00:01,724 --> 01:00:03,767
Good point. Gist!
753
01:00:03,892 --> 01:00:05,269
Yes ?
754
01:00:06,979 --> 01:00:09,356
Permission to say
what I think.
755
01:00:09,481 --> 01:00:11,650
- Were you refused?
- Hm...
756
01:00:11,775 --> 01:00:13,652
The fort is too low.
757
01:00:14,361 --> 01:00:17,573
What are you talking about? The walls?
758
01:00:19,033 --> 01:00:22,077
No, the walls... Look at that.
759
01:00:22,202 --> 01:00:24,330
It is an ancient lake bed.
760
01:00:24,455 --> 01:00:26,290
It will flood in the rain.
761
01:00:27,082 --> 01:00:30,836
And we can shoot you
from these trees.
762
01:00:35,174 --> 01:00:37,468
Does the major know what he's doing?
763
01:00:41,055 --> 01:00:42,514
What are you writing?
764
01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:44,224
I will ask for reinforcements.
765
01:00:45,225 --> 01:00:48,145
- Whose?
- To the colonies.
766
01:00:48,854 --> 01:00:52,316
Pennsylvania doesn't care
Virginia problems.
767
01:00:52,441 --> 01:00:55,069
The French are the problem
of all. No ?
768
01:00:57,321 --> 01:00:59,615
The ground is very low here.
769
01:01:00,074 --> 01:01:02,034
The forest offers us shelter.
770
01:01:02,159 --> 01:01:06,205
Meadows give space
and a clear view.
771
01:01:06,330 --> 01:01:07,998
If they attack,
they will come from the front.
772
01:01:08,123 --> 01:01:11,919
Or we'll be trapped
when the fort is flooded.
773
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,050
- What do you want me to do?
Major Washington?
774
01:01:18,759 --> 01:01:21,512
- The king's troops.
- What is it?
775
01:01:21,637 --> 01:01:23,263
They are there.
776
01:01:45,577 --> 01:01:48,455
-Who is Washington?
- I'm Major Washington.
777
01:01:49,832 --> 01:01:51,375
Captain James Mackay.
778
01:01:52,501 --> 01:01:54,461
Orders of
Governor Dinwiddie.
779
01:01:56,046 --> 01:01:59,258
We are here to strengthen
the Virginia regiment
780
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:03,095
and resolve the situation
that you caused.
781
01:02:03,637 --> 01:02:07,808
French and Indian soldiers
almost catching up with us.
782
01:02:08,308 --> 01:02:10,227
More than a thousand in all.
783
01:02:10,352 --> 01:02:13,605
Ordered by
Louis Coulon de Villiers,
784
01:02:13,730 --> 01:02:17,067
brother of Joseph Coulon
de Villiers de Jumonville.
785
01:02:17,317 --> 01:02:19,236
The man you killed.
786
01:02:23,824 --> 01:02:26,702
The letter states
Colonel Joshua Fry.
787
01:02:26,827 --> 01:02:28,328
He knows how to read.
788
01:02:28,454 --> 01:02:30,581
- Where is he?
- Dead.
789
01:02:31,123 --> 01:02:34,418
He fell off his horse
and broke his neck.
790
01:02:34,543 --> 01:02:37,671
You will take his position
of colonel, Mr. Washington.
791
01:02:40,174 --> 01:02:43,302
Welcome.
We need help.
792
01:02:43,427 --> 01:02:46,221
I don't take your orders.
793
01:02:46,513 --> 01:02:49,933
But... you said
that you would take the rank.
794
01:02:50,058 --> 01:02:51,643
My commission is royal.
795
01:02:51,768 --> 01:02:54,480
Even general, I don't have
to obey you.
796
01:02:54,605 --> 01:03:00,444
Good God. You call it
a “strong”?
797
01:03:00,569 --> 01:03:04,156
Made out of necessity —
the name suits him well.
798
01:03:05,866 --> 01:03:08,285
We advance a hundred yards
towards the front.
799
01:03:08,410 --> 01:03:10,996
The French will attack
surely there.
800
01:03:11,121 --> 01:03:14,041
Colonel... Van Braam.
801
01:03:19,963 --> 01:03:22,049
He's just a kid.
802
01:03:47,950 --> 01:03:49,368
How are you ?
803
01:03:49,493 --> 01:03:52,621
The gap is filling
faster than we empty it.
804
01:03:52,746 --> 01:03:56,542
Listen. If this continues,
I will ask my men
805
01:03:56,667 --> 01:03:58,961
The creation
of a naval armada.
806
01:03:59,086 --> 01:04:00,754
Keep going!
807
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:05,133
I saw them from the trees.
808
01:04:05,259 --> 01:04:07,302
The French
They're not going to shoot us.
809
01:04:07,427 --> 01:04:09,888
In open terrain,
they will fight with honor.
810
01:04:11,306 --> 01:04:13,350
You say it's
"the new world",
811
01:04:13,475 --> 01:04:17,563
but you live in the old way.
They are walking towards death.
812
01:04:17,688 --> 01:04:19,606
Shawnee recruits?
813
01:04:19,731 --> 01:04:20,816
No.
814
01:04:20,941 --> 01:04:22,901
Delawareans
or Mingo?
815
01:04:23,026 --> 01:04:25,404
No. Some joined
the French.
816
01:04:25,529 --> 01:04:26,947
They won't help you.
817
01:04:29,116 --> 01:04:30,701
Neither do we.
818
01:04:31,243 --> 01:04:32,869
You won't leave!
819
01:04:34,663 --> 01:04:36,206
Your revenge started it all.
820
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:40,294
And your stubbornness will end that.
The French are cowards!
821
01:04:40,419 --> 01:04:43,797
The British are stupid.
They don't know how to fight.
822
01:04:43,922 --> 01:04:46,675
I was born here,
on this earth, like you.
823
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,802
Why not
defend it together?
824
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,973
These lands
don't belong to you.
825
01:04:53,724 --> 01:04:58,145
While you're killing yourself,
we will take them back.
826
01:05:00,188 --> 01:05:03,442
George, you are in pain
chose the land.
827
01:05:03,567 --> 01:05:06,903
Admit it,
we can be wrong. Calm.
828
01:05:07,738 --> 01:05:09,406
Food supplies are running out.
829
01:05:09,531 --> 01:05:11,491
In two days,
no more rations.
830
01:05:11,617 --> 01:05:15,454
We must save others.
831
01:05:18,790 --> 01:05:20,167
We will stay here.
832
01:05:27,758 --> 01:05:29,843
- French people in sight?
- No.
833
01:05:29,968 --> 01:05:33,639
Our arrival
stopped their advance.
834
01:05:33,764 --> 01:05:36,642
But where my men camp,
it is already a swamp.
835
01:05:37,434 --> 01:05:40,312
- What can I do?
- Find solid ground.
836
01:05:40,437 --> 01:05:44,691
- Or a competent commander.
- Are you challenging my authority?
837
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:47,277
- You have no authority.
838
01:05:54,785 --> 01:05:58,372
They are in the trees,
take cover!
839
01:06:02,834 --> 01:06:05,337
Get ready! At your posts!
840
01:06:05,629 --> 01:06:07,714
Come on, quickly!
841
01:06:09,591 --> 01:06:11,051
Quickly, quickly!
842
01:06:11,927 --> 01:06:14,554
Online !
Online by my side.
843
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,598
Online ? What an idea.
844
01:06:21,019 --> 01:06:22,229
Fire !
845
01:06:26,608 --> 01:06:28,402
They're shooting everywhere!
846
01:06:28,527 --> 01:06:30,320
Forward, follow me!
847
01:06:31,196 --> 01:06:33,573
Come on, come on!
Quickly, forward!
848
01:06:36,702 --> 01:06:38,120
-Christopher.
- Yes ?
849
01:06:38,578 --> 01:06:41,123
Divide them. 50 men
at the fort to shoot.
850
01:06:41,248 --> 01:06:43,083
Not enough space,
it's flooded.
851
01:06:43,208 --> 01:06:45,919
- As much as possible!
- On my signal. Let's go!
852
01:06:46,044 --> 01:06:48,672
Front line,
prepare, aim...
853
01:06:49,339 --> 01:06:50,549
Fire!
854
01:06:52,759 --> 01:06:55,053
We're being shot at!
855
01:06:59,641 --> 01:07:01,601
What do we do?
856
01:07:02,227 --> 01:07:04,396
The following. Prepare!
857
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:06,648
Aim...
858
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:10,235
Ready?
859
01:07:10,610 --> 01:07:11,778
Fire!
860
01:07:28,712 --> 01:07:32,215
Retire! To the fort!
861
01:07:42,934 --> 01:07:45,061
To the fort! Come home!
862
01:07:52,736 --> 01:07:54,237
Move forward now!
863
01:07:54,362 --> 01:07:56,490
Come home!
864
01:07:56,615 --> 01:07:58,158
Let's go!
865
01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:07,334
Come on... Come in!
866
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,255
Come in! Quickly !
867
01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:15,425
Cover the door! Hold fast !
868
01:08:15,550 --> 01:08:16,885
Hold fast !
869
01:08:19,721 --> 01:08:21,890
The powder is wet.
870
01:08:22,015 --> 01:08:25,060
No more fire, we are
defenseless, colonel!
871
01:08:25,185 --> 01:08:27,479
We fight!
Prepare the bayonets!
872
01:08:27,604 --> 01:08:29,272
We have lost the battle.
873
01:08:29,397 --> 01:08:31,024
- She's barely getting started!
-George!
874
01:08:31,775 --> 01:08:33,985
At your posts!
875
01:08:34,110 --> 01:08:35,821
Washington.
Save your men!
876
01:08:35,946 --> 01:08:37,823
I will not surrender
at my first command!
877
01:08:37,948 --> 01:08:39,825
He won't shoot!
878
01:08:39,950 --> 01:08:41,409
Ah!
879
01:08:42,994 --> 01:08:44,287
At your seats!
880
01:08:48,875 --> 01:08:49,960
No, no...
881
01:08:59,636 --> 01:09:01,555
Gist! Gist!
882
01:09:05,767 --> 01:09:11,231
Breathe. Hey, hey...
You'll get through this.
883
01:09:11,398 --> 01:09:13,942
Breathe, breathe...
884
01:09:14,067 --> 01:09:15,402
I'm sorry.
885
01:09:26,788 --> 01:09:29,749
Agh!
886
01:09:35,881 --> 01:09:36,965
Breathe...
887
01:09:40,135 --> 01:09:41,344
Gist.
888
01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:42,679
Major!
889
01:09:46,141 --> 01:09:47,392
Yes.
890
01:09:49,269 --> 01:09:50,645
We surrender.
891
01:09:55,859 --> 01:09:58,778
Sorry, Christopher.
I'm sorry !
892
01:10:45,867 --> 01:10:47,118
Washington.
893
01:10:52,832 --> 01:10:55,126
The terms are
quite favorable.
894
01:10:56,044 --> 01:10:57,587
The withdrawal is mutual.
895
01:10:58,213 --> 01:11:01,800
They took our cannons,
we remove the flag.
896
01:11:02,425 --> 01:11:05,762
And... they will ask
that I assume
897
01:11:05,887 --> 01:11:08,181
the death of their commander.
898
01:11:10,976 --> 01:11:12,602
It's not us
who started.
899
01:11:14,646 --> 01:11:16,439
Nobody knows who shot.
900
01:11:20,443 --> 01:11:23,738
I acted as guarantor.
I will go with them.
901
01:11:25,991 --> 01:11:28,076
It was the best result.
902
01:11:39,629 --> 01:11:40,839
Colonel.
903
01:11:51,641 --> 01:11:53,018
What day is it?
904
01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:55,311
July third.
905
01:11:55,437 --> 01:11:58,314
This date will remain
engraved in my memory.
906
01:13:20,355 --> 01:13:22,148
I'm really sorry.
907
01:13:32,784 --> 01:13:33,993
Murder?
908
01:13:34,285 --> 01:13:37,831
He confessed to killing
a French officer!
909
01:13:38,957 --> 01:13:40,625
It wasn't my intention,
Your Excellency.
910
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:42,377
You didn't sign that?
911
01:13:44,504 --> 01:13:46,923
“Our intention was not
to disturb the peace,
912
01:13:47,048 --> 01:13:51,344
but to avenge the murder
from one of our officers. »
913
01:13:51,469 --> 01:13:53,721
The translator made a mistake.
I didn't notice...
914
01:13:53,847 --> 01:13:57,475
Washington, leading involves
waive the right
915
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,018
to excuses.
916
01:13:59,144 --> 01:14:01,646
Do you realize
what you did?
917
01:14:01,813 --> 01:14:03,898
You have started a war!
918
01:14:05,942 --> 01:14:07,944
I will report the battle
like a defeat
919
01:14:08,069 --> 01:14:11,781
- lack of food.
- That's not the truth.
920
01:14:12,282 --> 01:14:14,951
It's the truth
which suits me, otherwise...
921
01:14:15,076 --> 01:14:17,328
Sir, I am coming
resign.
922
01:14:21,291 --> 01:14:23,001
I'm not done
to order.
923
01:14:24,085 --> 01:14:26,421
I never was.
924
01:14:30,550 --> 01:14:32,135
God save the King.
925
01:14:35,513 --> 01:14:39,100
Your resignation would suggest
that I chose wrong.
926
01:14:39,225 --> 01:14:41,728
Washington,
if you leave this position,
927
01:14:41,853 --> 01:14:43,897
you also give up
to your ambition.
928
01:14:44,731 --> 01:14:46,107
Understood, sir.
929
01:15:20,016 --> 01:15:21,726
Lawrence is there?
930
01:15:27,315 --> 01:15:28,816
I'm sorry.
931
01:15:50,463 --> 01:15:51,714
Agh!
932
01:16:07,188 --> 01:16:10,066
He wanted you to keep
his newspapers.
933
01:16:13,111 --> 01:16:14,570
You were right.
934
01:16:15,947 --> 01:16:17,573
You knew I would fail.
935
01:16:18,700 --> 01:16:21,953
It's not your fault, George.
You didn't give up
936
01:16:22,078 --> 01:16:24,497
nor your brother,
nor these men.
937
01:16:26,291 --> 01:16:27,917
I chose the field...
938
01:16:28,668 --> 01:16:32,005
worn the uniform, given
orders — and for that...
939
01:16:34,924 --> 01:16:36,634
good men died.
940
01:16:45,601 --> 01:16:47,312
When your father died...
941
01:16:48,354 --> 01:16:52,317
there were... accounts that
I didn't read,
942
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,117
like any woman, to hold
accounts with one hand
943
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,538
and to pray on the other.
I became like this...
944
01:17:06,414 --> 01:17:09,208
because here,
the wind is strong.
945
01:17:10,126 --> 01:17:12,712
I put iron in my voice.
946
01:17:14,005 --> 01:17:15,923
I've been hard on you, George.
947
01:17:16,924 --> 01:17:18,593
I see you have learned...
948
01:17:20,094 --> 01:17:23,890
to be hard on yourself.
It was my sin.
949
01:17:33,858 --> 01:17:36,861
You said that providence
placed me here.
950
01:17:41,115 --> 01:17:42,325
For what ?
951
01:17:43,826 --> 01:17:45,620
So that I fail?
952
01:17:46,371 --> 01:17:47,663
Maybe...
953
01:17:49,457 --> 01:17:52,085
Failure was the master
that God sent.
954
01:17:52,919 --> 01:17:55,630
If you don't get anything out of it,
you will fail twice,
955
01:17:55,755 --> 01:17:59,133
but if you learn,
you will gain wisdom.
956
01:18:00,635 --> 01:18:01,719
Tell me...
957
01:18:02,845 --> 01:18:04,597
What did they tell you?
958
01:18:06,808 --> 01:18:08,059
To come back.
959
01:18:12,230 --> 01:18:13,564
But I'm afraid...
960
01:18:14,357 --> 01:18:16,317
to make the same mistakes.
961
01:18:20,446 --> 01:18:25,284
War is not the way
I would choose for you, but...
962
01:18:26,577 --> 01:18:27,745
Oh...
963
01:18:28,037 --> 01:18:29,831
Get up, my son.
964
01:18:33,376 --> 01:18:36,129
If you have to go back
in battle...
965
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,298
do it.
966
01:18:41,592 --> 01:18:46,347
As a servant of God,
do it with all your heart.
967
01:18:47,682 --> 01:18:52,395
Find your way.
Make it yours, right.
968
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:57,108
Prove them wrong.
969
01:19:01,904 --> 01:19:05,783
Because even a pawn
can overthrow a king.
970
01:19:30,099 --> 01:19:34,312
DEAR GEORGE, YOU WERE RIGHT.
THE WORLD CAN CHANGE
971
01:19:44,572 --> 01:19:47,783
WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA,
MAY 10, 1755
972
01:20:04,091 --> 01:20:05,551
Here, sir.
973
01:20:07,887 --> 01:20:09,889
Sorry to disturb you, sir.
974
01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:11,307
I'm George Washington.
975
01:20:11,432 --> 01:20:15,645
Ah! The reason for my coming.
976
01:20:16,562 --> 01:20:19,023
Allow me to introduce
Colonel Thomas Gage.
977
01:20:19,524 --> 01:20:22,944
He was promoted to colonel
by royal commission.
978
01:20:23,986 --> 01:20:25,363
We know each other.
979
01:20:25,488 --> 01:20:28,241
You are probably looking for
your former commander.
980
01:20:28,366 --> 01:20:31,077
Gage's mission is
to lead your militia
981
01:20:31,202 --> 01:20:33,538
and he is more qualified.
982
01:20:33,663 --> 01:20:37,291
No doubt. I'm not coming
ask for rank.
983
01:20:37,416 --> 01:20:41,170
I would like to be an aide-de-camp —
I could be useful to you.
984
01:20:41,295 --> 01:20:43,839
Don't worry,
young Washington,
985
01:20:43,965 --> 01:20:47,552
these French and their savages
were formidable enemies
986
01:20:47,677 --> 01:20:51,097
for you and your militia,
but for the King's troops,
987
01:20:51,264 --> 01:20:52,473
they are rather...
988
01:20:52,598 --> 01:20:56,060
a nuisance —
it's wasting the powder.
989
01:20:56,185 --> 01:20:58,479
We will easily prevail.
990
01:20:58,604 --> 01:21:01,816
With respect, sir,
I don't think so.
991
01:21:01,941 --> 01:21:04,026
- We fought...
- And you lost.
992
01:21:04,151 --> 01:21:07,822
I fought in the region,
I could help you.
993
01:21:07,947 --> 01:21:09,615
Fort Duquesne
is complicated.
994
01:21:09,740 --> 01:21:13,661
He won't hold me back
more than three or four days.
995
01:21:13,786 --> 01:21:16,289
Sir, he's a guy
very different combat.
996
01:21:16,414 --> 01:21:19,375
- Reaching the fort will take...
- A week, at most.
997
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:20,751
One month.
998
01:21:21,419 --> 01:21:23,129
- A month?
- With luck.
999
01:21:24,088 --> 01:21:26,924
Almost the entire journey,
you will go in single file
1000
01:21:27,049 --> 01:21:30,344
on a narrow path.
Carts do not pass there.
1001
01:21:30,469 --> 01:21:33,014
I mapped
these lands.
1002
01:21:33,139 --> 01:21:36,267
The French are here, where the
three rivers come together.
1003
01:21:36,392 --> 01:21:38,352
The geography of the land
1004
01:21:38,477 --> 01:21:39,979
makes war different.
1005
01:21:40,104 --> 01:21:42,398
You are not used to it
to these battlefields.
1006
01:21:42,523 --> 01:21:44,692
I fought
on many battlefields.
1007
01:21:44,817 --> 01:21:46,986
Not in the New World, sir.
1008
01:21:47,111 --> 01:21:49,030
You lost
in the New World.
1009
01:21:52,783 --> 01:21:54,869
Yes. It's true.
1010
01:21:55,369 --> 01:21:57,204
But failure
is a great master.
1011
01:22:00,291 --> 01:22:03,586
I would learn more
under your tutelage,
1012
01:22:04,003 --> 01:22:05,379
with your experience.
1013
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:14,722
You can come — like
advise, nothing more.
1014
01:22:15,348 --> 01:22:17,099
Thank you, General Braddock.
1015
01:22:17,224 --> 01:22:19,352
Colonel, let's take care of him.
1016
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:20,728
Yes, sir.
1017
01:22:56,639 --> 01:22:58,974
Why this delay?
Move that cart!
1018
01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:03,479
Washington. From colonel
to aide-de-camp.
1019
01:23:03,688 --> 01:23:05,773
The mighty also fall.
1020
01:23:06,440 --> 01:23:10,069
I never received
of royal commission of colonel,
1021
01:23:10,194 --> 01:23:11,737
so it doesn't matter.
1022
01:23:12,780 --> 01:23:15,658
- It's important to you.
- Justice, yes.
1023
01:23:16,492 --> 01:23:19,912
Pledge ! Why
are we late?
1024
01:23:20,037 --> 01:23:21,372
A fallen tree.
1025
01:23:21,497 --> 01:23:24,959
How to win a battle
if you cannot defeat a tree?
1026
01:23:25,710 --> 01:23:29,588
I fought the king's battles
on three continents,
1027
01:23:29,714 --> 01:23:32,675
but never a tree
had defeated me!
1028
01:23:33,634 --> 01:23:38,389
It's not an army,
It's a crushed centipede!
1029
01:23:40,182 --> 01:23:42,643
Henry, David.
Look who's there.
1030
01:23:46,188 --> 01:23:48,482
- Major?
- Aide-de-camp.
1031
01:23:49,358 --> 01:23:51,485
I believe you are
my superiors now.
1032
01:23:53,195 --> 01:23:55,740
Take an ax
and help us with the tree.
1033
01:23:55,865 --> 01:23:57,074
Of course.
1034
01:24:04,165 --> 01:24:06,292
Why this delay?
1035
01:24:06,417 --> 01:24:09,712
Sorry, Colonel.
The road ends here.
1036
01:24:10,713 --> 01:24:12,506
Hence the delay.
1037
01:24:13,549 --> 01:24:16,051
Washington, you
know?
1038
01:24:16,177 --> 01:24:19,555
Why not the king's red?
Or something red.
1039
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,640
You stole
our uniforms.
1040
01:24:21,766 --> 01:24:23,642
You are thieves.
1041
01:24:23,768 --> 01:24:27,229
Indigo grows
in these lands.
1042
01:24:27,354 --> 01:24:30,775
We make it blue,
the color of Virginia.
1043
01:24:30,900 --> 01:24:33,611
Dress like this,
with your beautiful colors,
1044
01:24:33,736 --> 01:24:35,154
you will be the first targets.
1045
01:24:35,279 --> 01:24:37,865
I will blend into the trees
and I will survive.
1046
01:24:44,455 --> 01:24:46,832
And your big project?
1047
01:24:47,958 --> 01:24:51,879
The royal commission...
the little rich girl.
1048
01:24:52,004 --> 01:24:54,632
I buried it all
with Christopher.
1049
01:25:03,349 --> 01:25:05,059
Why did you come back?
1050
01:25:05,351 --> 01:25:07,561
To apologize.
1051
01:25:07,686 --> 01:25:09,980
My ambition was arrogant.
1052
01:25:10,648 --> 01:25:13,317
I have a debt
towards each of you.
1053
01:25:13,442 --> 01:25:15,694
A debt that I cannot pay,
but...
1054
01:25:16,821 --> 01:25:20,449
When the battle comes...
I will be there.
1055
01:25:21,617 --> 01:25:23,410
By your side.
1056
01:25:26,789 --> 01:25:28,207
That suits me.
1057
01:25:47,059 --> 01:25:48,978
Bet something,
George.
1058
01:25:52,690 --> 01:25:55,609
And if you
bet more for me?
1059
01:25:59,738 --> 01:26:01,323
Are you doing well ?
1060
01:26:03,284 --> 01:26:05,119
Yes, better than ever.
1061
01:26:08,831 --> 01:26:10,916
- THANKS.
- My pleasure.
1062
01:26:15,254 --> 01:26:16,505
Excuse me.
1063
01:26:19,717 --> 01:26:21,051
What are you doing here?
1064
01:26:21,886 --> 01:26:24,013
- They sent us.
- Who ?
1065
01:26:24,430 --> 01:26:25,306
The Fairfaxes.
1066
01:26:25,431 --> 01:26:27,266
You fight for
nobles?
1067
01:26:27,391 --> 01:26:28,934
Rather for their lands.
1068
01:26:39,486 --> 01:26:40,863
Is it a piano?
1069
01:26:43,782 --> 01:26:47,411
Braddock's.
Brought from Alexandria.
1070
01:26:47,953 --> 01:26:53,292
We opened a road
throughout all of Ohio,
1071
01:26:53,417 --> 01:26:55,210
for a piano?
1072
01:26:59,465 --> 01:27:01,091
God help us.
1073
01:27:01,216 --> 01:27:03,886
One two three !
1074
01:27:06,347 --> 01:27:07,723
Come on, come on!
1075
01:27:11,060 --> 01:27:12,519
Keep going!
1076
01:27:13,729 --> 01:27:15,314
On the count of three.
1077
01:27:16,273 --> 01:27:18,400
George, are you okay?
1078
01:27:18,525 --> 01:27:22,321
Yes... I'm fine.
Push, we're almost there.
1079
01:27:22,446 --> 01:27:24,365
He will inform
Mr Hunter
1080
01:27:24,490 --> 01:27:26,492
that the services
of Her Majesty require
1081
01:27:26,617 --> 01:27:29,870
an additional amount
of ten thousand pounds sterling.
1082
01:27:30,579 --> 01:27:34,792
How to cope
to the lack of roads
1083
01:27:34,917 --> 01:27:38,879
in natural terrain
so formidable?
1084
01:27:39,004 --> 01:27:41,173
- Did you notice?
- Yes, Your Excellency.
1085
01:27:41,298 --> 01:27:43,008
Where was I?
1086
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,930
The siege had been the longest
and the bloodiest...
1087
01:27:48,222 --> 01:27:51,016
Washington?
God, he's pale.
1088
01:27:54,353 --> 01:27:57,064
Hello...Washington?
1089
01:27:57,648 --> 01:27:59,400
Deliver it!
1090
01:27:59,525 --> 01:28:02,945
Sorry, Your Excellency,
I lost the thread.
1091
01:28:10,536 --> 01:28:12,329
- Gist!
1092
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:19,294
How is he?
1093
01:28:22,548 --> 01:28:26,427
Dysentery.
His case is very serious.
1094
01:28:26,552 --> 01:28:29,054
He has a fever
and terrible nightmares.
1095
01:28:29,179 --> 01:28:31,598
- He only names.
- When will he heal?
1096
01:28:32,558 --> 01:28:37,021
In days, weeks...
maybe never.
1097
01:28:37,312 --> 01:28:39,898
What do you say? Will he live?
1098
01:28:48,824 --> 01:28:49,992
Washington.
1099
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:54,496
Wake up.
1100
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:56,457
Where are we ?
1101
01:28:56,582 --> 01:28:59,460
Five miles south of the river,
where they fought.
1102
01:29:00,252 --> 01:29:01,420
Out of necessity.
1103
01:29:01,545 --> 01:29:04,048
I was tasked with leading
a movable column
1104
01:29:04,173 --> 01:29:05,382
of 900 men.
1105
01:29:05,507 --> 01:29:09,303
We will cross
the Monongahela for the fort.
1106
01:29:11,263 --> 01:29:12,806
- You need to rest.
- No !
1107
01:29:14,808 --> 01:29:18,020
Ah...ah...ah...
1108
01:29:18,103 --> 01:29:21,732
Look at the trees.
1109
01:29:22,191 --> 01:29:24,651
It's the new world,
treat it as such.
1110
01:29:25,235 --> 01:29:27,112
Do you doubt me?
1111
01:29:27,237 --> 01:29:31,158
You weren't there.
I take issue with the strategy.
1112
01:29:31,909 --> 01:29:34,953
- That's enough.
- Gage, look at the trees.
1113
01:29:36,705 --> 01:29:39,708
I spent my life
to prepare myself for this.
1114
01:29:44,463 --> 01:29:45,881
What bravery.
1115
01:29:48,967 --> 01:29:51,053
God, please help me.
1116
01:30:06,652 --> 01:30:07,903
Stop.
1117
01:30:08,362 --> 01:30:10,656
Stop...
stop.
1118
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:21,500
Okay, move on.
1119
01:30:21,625 --> 01:30:23,836
Keep moving forward.
1120
01:30:45,107 --> 01:30:46,233
Stop!
1121
01:30:47,734 --> 01:30:49,611
Stop... stop...
1122
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,293
Ambush!
1123
01:31:06,461 --> 01:31:08,005
Online !
1124
01:31:09,631 --> 01:31:11,550
Online !
1125
01:31:15,512 --> 01:31:17,723
Hold fast !
1126
01:31:17,848 --> 01:31:20,475
Hold fast !
Protect the spine!
1127
01:31:34,323 --> 01:31:37,159
Sections one and two,
online!
1128
01:31:38,285 --> 01:31:40,245
Section one, prepare...
1129
01:31:40,829 --> 01:31:41,997
Fire!
1130
01:31:44,833 --> 01:31:47,294
Section two, prepare...
1131
01:31:47,461 --> 01:31:48,587
Fire!
1132
01:31:49,379 --> 01:31:53,342
Sections one and two,
behind me!
1133
01:31:53,717 --> 01:31:58,555
Protect the spine!
To the river! To the river!
1134
01:31:58,889 --> 01:32:01,183
Reds, follow me!
1135
01:32:01,308 --> 01:32:03,936
- To the river!
- Take them to the river!
1136
01:32:08,190 --> 01:32:09,566
Retirement !
1137
01:32:18,367 --> 01:32:20,118
Prepare, aim...
1138
01:32:21,411 --> 01:32:22,621
Fire!
1139
01:32:25,249 --> 01:32:28,085
Here! Right, aim!
1140
01:32:32,339 --> 01:32:37,052
Hold on,
in position! Resist!
1141
01:32:57,364 --> 01:32:59,866
Ah, ah, ah...
1142
01:33:07,666 --> 01:33:10,252
- What happened?
- An ambush!
1143
01:33:10,627 --> 01:33:12,796
- From where?
- From the hill!
1144
01:33:18,218 --> 01:33:19,720
Ah...ah...
1145
01:33:41,950 --> 01:33:44,911
Rest easy, Washington.
We lost.
1146
01:33:46,371 --> 01:33:48,957
- And the general?
- He ordered the retreat.
1147
01:33:49,082 --> 01:33:51,126
- And my men?
- You don't have any more.
1148
01:33:51,251 --> 01:33:54,212
- The Virginians.
- They were on the front line.
1149
01:33:54,588 --> 01:33:57,257
Almost four miles from here.
1150
01:33:57,591 --> 01:33:59,885
If you go there, you will die.
1151
01:34:00,427 --> 01:34:03,347
You already look dead.
Listen to me...
1152
01:34:06,099 --> 01:34:09,102
You won't find them,
and if so, without return.
1153
01:34:11,480 --> 01:34:14,024
Washington...Washington!
1154
01:34:14,858 --> 01:34:18,945
Let's get out of here.
Is it worth the risk?
1155
01:34:24,034 --> 01:34:25,160
I'm going there.
1156
01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:07,119
Where is the general?
Where's Braddock?
1157
01:35:07,244 --> 01:35:09,121
Listen to me!
1158
01:35:13,291 --> 01:35:16,753
Sections one and two,
bayonet at the cannon!
1159
01:35:21,842 --> 01:35:23,260
My God.
1160
01:35:23,969 --> 01:35:25,429
Oh...
1161
01:35:38,150 --> 01:35:39,901
Ah, ah...
1162
01:35:49,661 --> 01:35:51,621
Where is the general?
1163
01:35:51,746 --> 01:35:54,249
He’s over here!
Run!
1164
01:35:57,169 --> 01:36:00,338
- General! General...
- Agh...
1165
01:36:02,549 --> 01:36:04,843
-Washington.
- Sir...
1166
01:36:05,177 --> 01:36:07,220
Did you order the retreat?
1167
01:36:07,345 --> 01:36:10,515
I did not order
retirement.
1168
01:36:13,685 --> 01:36:16,771
Gather the men
and fall back.
1169
01:36:18,190 --> 01:36:22,569
Take this.
They'll know it's mine.
1170
01:36:26,698 --> 01:36:32,120
Take my horse
and save whoever you can.
1171
01:36:34,873 --> 01:36:36,124
Yes, sir.
1172
01:36:37,375 --> 01:36:39,294
I will not disappoint you.
1173
01:36:44,549 --> 01:36:46,092
Who would have believed it?
1174
01:36:57,604 --> 01:37:00,273
Hold fast !
Nobody is retreating.
1175
01:37:00,398 --> 01:37:03,944
This way... Nobody
Don't retreat!
1176
01:37:07,948 --> 01:37:12,410
Hold fast ! Resist!
1177
01:37:15,205 --> 01:37:16,414
Ahead !
1178
01:37:18,959 --> 01:37:20,168
Follow me!
1179
01:37:20,710 --> 01:37:22,045
George.
1180
01:37:22,796 --> 01:37:24,339
Progress stops here.
1181
01:37:24,673 --> 01:37:27,676
We hold this line.
Fire and move forward!
1182
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,471
Take cover
and shoot from the trees.
1183
01:37:31,805 --> 01:37:34,266
Disperse!
Disperse!
1184
01:37:34,391 --> 01:37:37,227
This is our land,
we are fighting for her!
1185
01:37:37,352 --> 01:37:40,021
Fire at will.
Fire at will.
1186
01:37:41,523 --> 01:37:42,899
George.
1187
01:37:43,024 --> 01:37:46,653
Tucker. And the others?
David and Henry?
1188
01:37:46,778 --> 01:37:48,947
Towards the river,
if they are still alive.
1189
01:37:50,282 --> 01:37:51,950
I'll get them.
1190
01:37:52,075 --> 01:37:55,579
Gather what you can
and head to the river.
1191
01:37:55,704 --> 01:37:58,331
- I will not disappoint you.
- I'm not an officer.
1192
01:37:58,456 --> 01:38:02,085
- The only leader on the ground.
- Save me some time.
1193
01:38:03,878 --> 01:38:06,756
Follow me,
we're going to the river.
1194
01:38:06,881 --> 01:38:08,174
On my signal!
1195
01:38:08,842 --> 01:38:10,176
Get ready!
1196
01:38:11,803 --> 01:38:12,971
Fire !
1197
01:38:26,985 --> 01:38:29,112
These British weapons!
1198
01:38:31,781 --> 01:38:34,159
No, Sam.
Stay with me.
1199
01:38:34,284 --> 01:38:36,119
They left us to die.
1200
01:38:36,244 --> 01:38:38,079
You seem surprised.
1201
01:38:38,204 --> 01:38:39,497
Sam...
1202
01:38:42,917 --> 01:38:44,669
Do you have ammo?
1203
01:38:44,794 --> 01:38:46,963
My gun no longer works.
1204
01:38:49,591 --> 01:38:51,217
Look for powder.
1205
01:38:56,389 --> 01:38:57,682
Henry, look.
1206
01:38:58,016 --> 01:38:59,225
It's...
1207
01:39:05,065 --> 01:39:07,984
It's Washington.
This man is crazy.
1208
01:39:18,787 --> 01:39:20,246
Ah!
1209
01:39:32,717 --> 01:39:33,843
Agh!
1210
01:39:37,555 --> 01:39:40,642
They come from behind,
they overflowed to the right!
1211
01:39:40,767 --> 01:39:42,560
- What do we do?
- We're fighting.
1212
01:39:42,686 --> 01:39:44,229
No more powder.
1213
01:39:45,480 --> 01:39:48,066
Anyone have any powder?
Person ?
1214
01:39:48,191 --> 01:39:49,526
Me ! I have some.
1215
01:39:52,153 --> 01:39:55,448
- They will pay for it.
- Reload all weapons.
1216
01:39:55,573 --> 01:39:58,076
Virginians,
reload your weapons!
1217
01:39:58,201 --> 01:39:59,911
To the right, follow me.
1218
01:40:00,036 --> 01:40:02,330
Wear it
and keep it dry.
1219
01:40:06,042 --> 01:40:08,294
Lower your head.
Yes, I saw.
1220
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:11,089
Take refuge
along the stream.
1221
01:40:12,590 --> 01:40:14,217
Along the stream!
1222
01:40:21,933 --> 01:40:23,852
Reload the muskets!
1223
01:40:26,771 --> 01:40:29,399
Ah! So !
1224
01:40:29,733 --> 01:40:31,192
Get ready!
1225
01:40:31,609 --> 01:40:32,944
Ready ?
1226
01:40:33,486 --> 01:40:34,904
Weapons, ready!
1227
01:40:36,823 --> 01:40:38,032
Fire !
1228
01:40:39,325 --> 01:40:40,618
Second row.
1229
01:40:44,038 --> 01:40:45,290
Get ready!
1230
01:40:45,498 --> 01:40:47,125
On target!
1231
01:40:47,542 --> 01:40:48,752
Fire !
1232
01:40:52,213 --> 01:40:55,341
At my signal,
lead them to the right, quickly!
1233
01:40:55,467 --> 01:40:57,093
What do you have planned?
1234
01:41:00,096 --> 01:41:01,306
George.
1235
01:41:16,362 --> 01:41:18,239
He became the target.
1236
01:41:43,056 --> 01:41:44,849
NOW ! NOW !
1237
01:41:47,644 --> 01:41:48,895
On target!
1238
01:41:49,562 --> 01:41:50,814
Fire !
1239
01:41:53,066 --> 01:41:55,819
Recharge!
Fire at will!
1240
01:41:58,696 --> 01:42:02,283
Virginians,
right! NOW !
1241
01:42:48,288 --> 01:42:51,541
Take care of those you see
breathe.
1242
01:42:51,666 --> 01:42:53,126
But why...
1243
01:43:48,222 --> 01:43:51,809
What's going on, sir?
Have you seen a ghost?
1244
01:44:04,030 --> 01:44:05,990
- There was no order.
- What ?
1245
01:44:06,115 --> 01:44:07,659
Retirement.
1246
01:44:12,622 --> 01:44:14,248
The battle is lost, George.
1247
01:44:15,708 --> 01:44:18,294
I didn't want
die with him.
1248
01:44:19,837 --> 01:44:21,798
Who owns this land?
1249
01:44:22,757 --> 01:44:24,384
This is our land.
1250
01:44:24,509 --> 01:44:27,011
Mine is
an ocean away.
1251
01:44:33,935 --> 01:44:36,646
This is what sets us apart.
1252
01:44:45,947 --> 01:44:47,991
They are fine. And the others?
1253
01:44:48,700 --> 01:44:50,994
- We lost a lot of men.
- How much ?
1254
01:44:52,036 --> 01:44:53,204
Hundreds.
1255
01:45:04,549 --> 01:45:05,800
Thank you...
1256
01:45:06,884 --> 01:45:08,970
for coming back to get us.
1257
01:45:15,268 --> 01:45:16,561
Major Washington?
1258
01:45:17,603 --> 01:45:18,980
The Half-King.
1259
01:45:43,296 --> 01:45:45,423
They fight
for the French now.
1260
01:45:45,673 --> 01:45:48,676
I don't fight
other people's wars.
1261
01:45:48,801 --> 01:45:50,595
What are you doing here?
1262
01:45:51,179 --> 01:45:54,348
I came to get you.
Follow me.
1263
01:46:07,236 --> 01:46:09,155
He wants to know who you are.
1264
01:46:11,032 --> 01:46:12,325
For what ?
1265
01:46:21,042 --> 01:46:25,296
He ordered his warriors
to shoot you. On all of you.
1266
01:46:27,423 --> 01:46:28,883
They never fail.
1267
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:44,607
Our people
has a legend.
1268
01:46:45,233 --> 01:46:48,444
There is a protective spirit
who guards the elect,
1269
01:46:48,569 --> 01:46:50,404
those who follow their destiny.
1270
01:46:54,534 --> 01:46:56,744
The creator chose you.
1271
01:46:56,869 --> 01:46:58,788
He protected you with his mind.
1272
01:47:02,125 --> 01:47:05,002
He asks again
what they call you.
1273
01:47:07,922 --> 01:47:09,757
My name is George Washington.
1274
01:47:15,972 --> 01:47:18,307
He will remember your name.
1275
01:47:21,853 --> 01:47:24,730
The holes
of your uniform...
1276
01:47:24,856 --> 01:47:28,359
- Sorry. Just...
- He doesn't understand.
1277
01:47:28,484 --> 01:47:29,819
Your hat?
1278
01:47:30,153 --> 01:47:33,322
Yes, him too.
This entire uniform...
1279
01:47:33,447 --> 01:47:36,200
Also has an impact
ball?
1280
01:47:39,537 --> 01:47:41,205
How are you alive?
1281
01:47:42,540 --> 01:47:45,626
- Divine intervention, perhaps.
- Maybe ?
1282
01:47:45,751 --> 01:47:49,046
Maybe. But you...
1283
01:47:49,589 --> 01:47:51,924
you are the man of the moment.
Without a doubt.
1284
01:47:52,049 --> 01:47:54,427
Your report to the board
was published
1285
01:47:54,552 --> 01:47:57,805
and very noticed.
As far as London, we know
1286
01:47:57,930 --> 01:48:00,224
what is happening
in our colonies.
1287
01:48:00,391 --> 01:48:02,935
Your way of describing
the border has awakened
1288
01:48:03,060 --> 01:48:05,354
the imagination... of many.
1289
01:48:06,814 --> 01:48:11,360
As for...
1290
01:48:12,570 --> 01:48:15,907
“Exemplary bravery
by Mr. Washington
1291
01:48:16,032 --> 01:48:18,993
was demonstrated by dodging
multiple attacks
1292
01:48:19,118 --> 01:48:22,622
against his person
by killing enemies
1293
01:48:22,747 --> 01:48:26,083
Indian and French.
He also... humbly
1294
01:48:26,209 --> 01:48:29,128
saved hundreds of men
during retirement,
1295
01:48:29,253 --> 01:48:31,881
during which he continued
to fight the enemy,
1296
01:48:32,006 --> 01:48:33,966
despite his poor health. »
1297
01:48:34,425 --> 01:48:37,678
But we lost.
450 lives lost
1298
01:48:37,803 --> 01:48:40,223
- and 500 injured.
- You won.
1299
01:48:40,890 --> 01:48:42,850
Because you held on.
1300
01:48:43,643 --> 01:48:45,937
For many,
failure is an end,
1301
01:48:46,062 --> 01:48:47,772
for you, it was a start.
1302
01:48:48,606 --> 01:48:51,901
And since leadership
is at stake...
1303
01:48:53,778 --> 01:48:57,031
I will give you
the opportunity to respond.
1304
01:48:57,907 --> 01:48:59,575
A second chance.
1305
01:49:01,285 --> 01:49:04,121
We will form a regiment
1,500 men,
1306
01:49:04,247 --> 01:49:06,958
the first of its kind,
and I want you to lead it.
1307
01:49:07,083 --> 01:49:10,544
I restore your rank
colonel of the regiment
1308
01:49:10,670 --> 01:49:13,422
and commander in chief
forces mobilized
1309
01:49:13,547 --> 01:49:15,216
for the defense of the colony.
1310
01:49:16,050 --> 01:49:19,720
Do you accept this honor?
1311
01:49:22,139 --> 01:49:24,141
Yes, sir. I accept.
1312
01:49:24,267 --> 01:49:26,769
Very good...
Lots to discuss.
1313
01:49:26,894 --> 01:49:29,480
I have... a request to make.
1314
01:49:29,855 --> 01:49:33,567
Washington, if it is
equal pay...
1315
01:49:33,693 --> 01:49:34,902
No, sir.
1316
01:49:36,195 --> 01:49:38,406
It's about the uniform.
1317
01:49:40,241 --> 01:49:42,576
AUGUST 1755
1318
01:49:43,452 --> 01:49:44,829
Watch out!
1319
01:50:08,269 --> 01:50:11,272
In rows for
Colonel Washington!
1320
01:50:15,026 --> 01:50:17,320
I am not
a British officer.
1321
01:50:19,989 --> 01:50:22,616
Nor a gentleman from England.
1322
01:50:24,577 --> 01:50:26,120
I don't have a title...
1323
01:50:26,787 --> 01:50:28,581
nor a royal commission.
1324
01:50:30,708 --> 01:50:33,294
All I have,
it's you.
1325
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:36,505
All of you.
1326
01:50:38,799 --> 01:50:40,343
I'm Virginian.
1327
01:50:43,137 --> 01:50:45,848
It was an honor
to serve you.
1328
01:50:46,599 --> 01:50:48,309
For Virginia!
1329
01:50:48,434 --> 01:50:50,186
Virginia!
1330
01:51:02,490 --> 01:51:04,200
For Virginia.
1331
01:51:05,701 --> 01:51:11,123
YOUNG WASHINGTON
1332
01:51:12,750 --> 01:51:14,919
FOUR YEARS LATER
HIS SURRENDER,
1333
01:51:15,044 --> 01:51:17,505
WASHINGTON RETURNED
AT FORT DUQUESNE
1334
01:51:17,630 --> 01:51:19,382
WITH ITS VIRGINIAN MILITIA.
1335
01:51:19,507 --> 01:51:22,635
THE FRENCH BURNED
THE STRONG AND FLED.
1336
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:25,721
ON JULY 4, 1775,
WASHINGTON GAVE HIS ORDERS
1337
01:51:25,846 --> 01:51:28,391
TO THE “TROOPS
UNITED PROVINCES.”
1338
01:51:28,516 --> 01:51:31,685
AN ARMY ISSUED
OF THE 13 COLONIES,
1339
01:51:31,811 --> 01:51:35,314
CREATED TO CHALLENGE THE EMPIRE
WHICH HE HAD ONCE SERVED.
1340
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:39,026
ONE YEAR LATER,
THESE COLONIES DECLARE THEMSELVES
1341
01:51:39,151 --> 01:51:42,029
A NEW NATION,
FREE AND INDEPENDENT.
1342
01:51:42,154 --> 01:51:48,119
A LAND THEY NAMED
“UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
1343
02:00:11,371 --> 02:00:13,790
YOUNG WASHINGTON
