1
00:01:57,260 --> 00:01:58,219
Where is the general?

2
00:01:58,220 --> 00:01:59,220
Where is the general?

3
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:04,500
I wouldn't bother Washington.

4
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:06,220
The battle's lost.

5
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,760
Where's the general?

6
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,080
Ordered a full retreat.

7
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:10,880
That way, life's nothing but death.

8
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,360
And my men?

9
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,480
You have no men. The Virginians?

10
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,760
They were at the front of the line.

11
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,380
If you go that way, you'll die.

12
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,420
You look like death already.

13
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:27,460
Listen to me.

14
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:32,400
You'll never find them, and even if you
did, you'd never make it back.

15
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Washington. Washington!

16
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:39,580
Come, Frank.

17
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,240
What could be worth the risk?

18
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:23,530
Mary, I'm so sorry.

19
00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:26,550
This must be Jack.

20
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:27,790
This is.

21
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:28,990
It's Jack.

22
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:30,890
Where is he?

23
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:34,830
It's there.

24
00:04:35,130 --> 00:04:36,750
He's not spoken since.

25
00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:39,410
Since his father died.

26
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,160
Hello, George.

27
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Do you remember me?

28
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,220
I'm your half-brother.

29
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:10,260
Lawrence.

30
00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:12,900
You're an officer?

31
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:14,760
I was, yes.

32
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,820
Captain in His Majesty's Navy.

33
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,080
I have something for you.

34
00:05:27,690 --> 00:05:28,690
It's a surveyor's compass.

35
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:31,630
It measures distances of land and sea.

36
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:34,490
This was our father's.

37
00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:36,090
And now it's yours.

38
00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:38,690
Won't you need it?

39
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:41,530
Well, my next adventure is here with
you, George.

40
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:47,110
I've been appointed Adjutant General of
the Virginia Militia.

41
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:49,950
So you'll command soldiers?

42
00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:52,170
I'm to organize militia.

43
00:05:54,350 --> 00:05:55,350
Volunteers, really.

44
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,710
Do Washington men die young?

45
00:06:18,990 --> 00:06:24,870
What? I heard them say Washington men
die young. That it's a curse to our

46
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:25,870
name.

47
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:27,750
Is that true?

48
00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:31,810
Are you afraid to die?

49
00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:46,210
Mother says I'll not be going back to
school.

50
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:48,570
There's nothing wrong with tenant
farming.

51
00:06:49,170 --> 00:06:50,410
It's an honorable profession.

52
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:52,090
But that is not what I want.

53
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:53,970
It's what duty demands.

54
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:56,810
Time and circumstance have changed.

55
00:06:57,950 --> 00:07:00,230
We have Fairfax attending school.

56
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:01,710
Why can I not?

57
00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:03,890
The Fairfaxes are of a superior class.

58
00:07:04,850 --> 00:07:07,150
With advantages we will never possess,
George.

59
00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:10,530
The world is often an unfair place.

60
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,140
And you must take what it gives you and
make it yours.

61
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:17,380
Now come inside.

62
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,960
George, where are you going?

63
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,440
To school.

64
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:29,460
Stubborn child.

65
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,600
It's two miles.

66
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:39,940
I know.

67
00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:42,750
They will not let you in.

68
00:07:43,170 --> 00:07:44,170
They will.

69
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:53,610
Don't take it out on the tree.

70
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:55,650
Stop. Stop.

71
00:07:57,850 --> 00:08:02,070
They turned me away because of you. And
now I have nothing.

72
00:08:03,370 --> 00:08:04,370
Nothing?

73
00:08:05,150 --> 00:08:08,550
We have 250 acres.

74
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:14,530
slaves in bondage to feed and one
widow's purse near empty.

75
00:08:15,070 --> 00:08:18,970
You're the eldest son in this house and
you have a duty to it.

76
00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:20,510
That's not what I want.

77
00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:24,590
I want more than this. And I want a
husband back from his fever.

78
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:27,850
Providence denied me this. Then
Providence is cruel.

79
00:08:31,910 --> 00:08:35,130
God raises what is well grounded.

80
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:38,789
You'll not abandon what is yours.

81
00:08:39,390 --> 00:08:46,290
Nor will I. You're my son and a
Washington, and you'll behave like both.

82
00:09:20,530 --> 00:09:21,530
Here.

83
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:24,110
Rules of civility and decent behavior.

84
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:27,010
That will teach you how to be a proper
gentleman.

85
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:32,250
And then Cato, Lutarch, essential
readings.

86
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:35,510
Seneca and Cincinnatus.

87
00:09:36,010 --> 00:09:39,530
If one desires to be great, he must
study those that were.

88
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,410
That's a lot of books, I know.

89
00:09:46,030 --> 00:09:48,530
I am sorry for your misfortune, George.

90
00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:54,000
If no one else would teach you, I'll
teach you.

91
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,440
But I could loan you these, one by one,
if you do

92
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,440
your chores.

93
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:10,380
Every public action should what?

94
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:13,040
Should respect those who are present.

95
00:10:13,260 --> 00:10:14,700
What do you think respect means?

96
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:19,120
To listen to or obey the one you are
respecting.

97
00:10:20,740 --> 00:10:21,740
Perhaps.

98
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,600
But obedience can be command.

99
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Respect must be earned.

100
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:29,540
That is why I became a soldier.

101
00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:35,480
Aristocracy is a game, George.

102
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:38,640
But you can learn to play it, I suppose.

103
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,820
What piece are we?

104
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:42,960
We are pawns, George.

105
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360
But even a pawn can take a king.

106
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Play again?

107
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:51,780
Yeah.

108
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,440
Very nice, George.

109
00:10:57,780 --> 00:10:59,780
Remember, heels down, chest up.

110
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800
I think it's now time you ride alone.

111
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,219
Wouldn't you agree?

112
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:06,700
Yes. Very well.

113
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Go on then.

114
00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:11,800
Not too fast now.

115
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,340
Steady.

116
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,820
To obtain the applause of deserving men
is a heartfelt satisfaction.

117
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:31,760
To merit them is my highest wish.

118
00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:53,410
So here he is, the boy who writes all
the letters, petitioning for a royal

119
00:11:53,410 --> 00:11:55,050
commission. Yes, sir.

120
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:57,190
I dream of becoming a British officer.

121
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:00,330
Ensign or lieutenant, as His Majesty
sees fit.

122
00:12:00,990 --> 00:12:03,390
I believe my brother communicated this
on my behalf.

123
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:05,290
Lawrence Washington.

124
00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:10,370
He, uh, he served on... If I were to
allow it, the purchase price for an

125
00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:14,170
ensigncy in the Coldstreams is 700
pounds. Do you possess that, sir?

126
00:12:14,390 --> 00:12:17,450
No, sir. I do not. Then why not seek to
join the militia?

127
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,100
Well, I wish to serve the crown as an
actual officer.

128
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,260
Then how much land do you possess?

129
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,920
I'm a custodian under my brother's
estate, Mount Vernon.

130
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,120
Tenant farmer.

131
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,940
Education? I received no formal
schooling after my father died, sir.

132
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:35,960
But I recently obtained my surveyor's
license.

133
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,200
To be a British officer, you must first
be a gentleman.

134
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:43,620
If I may, sir, how is it that my brother
qualified, yet I do not? He owns Mount

135
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,380
Vernon. He was properly educated in
England.

136
00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:49,850
And what's more, he's married to a
Fairfax. Yes, and he's been a great

137
00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:50,850
mentor to me.

138
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:55,310
I've studied to become a gentleman. I've
even compiled all I've learned.

139
00:12:56,110 --> 00:12:57,930
Goodness, man, how much do you write?

140
00:12:58,610 --> 00:13:01,950
Well, I compiled it from other books.
It's called Rules of Civility and Decent

141
00:13:01,950 --> 00:13:04,070
Behaviour. Which is to say you
plagiarised it.

142
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:05,310
No, no, no.

143
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:10,550
Well, yes, but... Imitation of great men
does not make you one.

144
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,480
I ask again, sir, how may I become a
British officer of the Crown? You

145
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,380
cannot. There must be a path. There is
not.

146
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,200
For you.

147
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920
And please, stop writing me letters.

148
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:34,540
Go.

149
00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:06,930
Hello, Jack.

150
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:09,850
Good to see you.

151
00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:13,010
Are you an officer now?

152
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:15,150
Not yet.

153
00:14:15,690 --> 00:14:16,690
But someday.

154
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:18,350
Or never.

155
00:14:19,710 --> 00:14:21,370
If God hears my prayers.

156
00:14:36,140 --> 00:14:37,360
Not tedious in discourse.

157
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,960
Especially tonight.

158
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,560
Where are you off to?

159
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:50,940
To see Lawrence.

160
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,760
At Belvoir?

161
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600
You're not invited. How do you expect to
get in?

162
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,480
Is it a sin to seek advancement?

163
00:14:58,180 --> 00:14:59,280
It is to them.

164
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,000
You're just a pawn to them.

165
00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:07,670
Even a pawn can take a king.

166
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:26,349
Invitation, sir.

167
00:15:26,350 --> 00:15:27,990
I am Mr. Washington.

168
00:15:28,270 --> 00:15:29,650
George Washington.

169
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:33,970
Half-brother to Lawrence, who's married
to Anne, formerly Fairfax.

170
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:36,630
Well, thank you for the genealogy.

171
00:15:36,850 --> 00:15:38,350
Now, your invitation, sir?

172
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:42,950
Um, I don't have it.

173
00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:47,730
The guests for this party have been
chosen with great specificity, so I

174
00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:50,130
suggest you find it, Mr. Washington.

175
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:52,670
Sir.

176
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,370
You put him up front.

177
00:16:30,450 --> 00:16:32,890
Good evening.

178
00:16:33,090 --> 00:16:33,949
Good evening, sir.

179
00:16:33,950 --> 00:16:35,770
We need more ice.

180
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:39,630
Can I carry that upstairs? No need, sir.

181
00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:45,490
How do I get in the house?

182
00:17:07,859 --> 00:17:09,180
You don't belong here.

183
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Clever entrance, though.

184
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:16,640
Most guests just enter through the front
door.

185
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,460
My brother spoke to me of this
gathering. He is... Married to Anne

186
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:21,460
Fairfax.

187
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:23,060
Yes, I know.

188
00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:26,540
You, on the other hand, are not.

189
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:30,620
A child of one of Virginia's largest
fortunes and family estates.

190
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,340
You're right, I'm not.

191
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,400
And you are right.

192
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,720
I'm rich.

193
00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:39,440
But... I also don't feel like I belong.

194
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,260
Well, that's like saying a rose doesn't
belong in a garden.

195
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:45,940
I'll take that compliment.

196
00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:48,380
I'd be happy if there were more.

197
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,780
Here's the problem with trying to sneak
into a party.

198
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:58,880
You, sir, stand out in a crowd.

199
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,840
And dance with me.

200
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,660
I only dance with invited guests.

201
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:07,650
Well, perhaps you should make room for
someone truly worthy.

202
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:10,790
Because I don't see anyone like that
here.

203
00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:16,010
Mr. Washington, aren't you bold?

204
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:19,890
Well, I'm off.

205
00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:21,010
To where?

206
00:18:22,610 --> 00:18:24,770
To fulfill my solemn duty.

207
00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:28,690
Charm.

208
00:18:33,350 --> 00:18:34,510
Gently does it, George.

209
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:41,260
As to proceed with caution, it would
profit Sally's family greatly if she

210
00:18:41,260 --> 00:18:42,440
were to marry a Fairfax.

211
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:44,300
Like you did?

212
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Yes.

213
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:52,560
And until I did, I held all my hopes
very loosely.

214
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:56,280
The odds were against me.

215
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,820
Well, the odds of a high has been
against us.

216
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,160
Wish me luck.

217
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:05,500
Good luck.

218
00:19:08,910 --> 00:19:10,510
Do you think of my proposal?

219
00:19:11,870 --> 00:19:14,530
William, thank you for having me in your
home.

220
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:17,110
George, what a surprise.

221
00:19:17,550 --> 00:19:19,650
I didn't expect to see you in a place
like this.

222
00:19:20,350 --> 00:19:21,790
How ever did you get in?

223
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:25,030
I was enticed by the promise of
beautiful women.

224
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:27,010
Well, we'd hate to disappoint you.

225
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:28,350
You have.

226
00:19:29,770 --> 00:19:35,510
Meet Thomas Gage, newly minted Major,
recently arrived from London, by order

227
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:36,510
of the Crown.

228
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:38,430
Pleasure. Pleasure is mine.

229
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,460
I too one day hope to serve his majesty.

230
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,460
Tell me, Washington, what is your
opinion of the French building forts on

231
00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:46,460
our land?

232
00:19:46,580 --> 00:19:49,000
Well, I think the Ohio is a frontier.

233
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,100
It belongs to the one who tames it.

234
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:57,740
Ah, well said. But in reality, it
belongs to the one who buys it.

235
00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:00,040
That is the way of things, is it not?

236
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:03,580
Ah, a minuet.

237
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:05,480
I love a minuet.

238
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:07,420
I believe...

239
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,640
I have the first dance, if you'll excuse
us.

240
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,440
Pleasure to meet you. I hope we meet
again.

241
00:20:18,140 --> 00:20:19,140
Pleasure.

242
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:24,480
Where are you off to? Sally.

243
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:25,780
My solemn duty.

244
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:51,070
Lord Fairfax, begging your pardon. I've
dreamed of seeing your library.

245
00:20:52,830 --> 00:20:54,750
These are my true tenants.

246
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:58,090
Who are you?

247
00:20:58,150 --> 00:21:00,770
George Washington, sir. Brother to
Lawrence.

248
00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:04,330
I didn't know he'd invited you. Neither
did he, if you must know.

249
00:21:04,690 --> 00:21:09,550
So, I've caught you slipping in, and
you...

250
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,140
Caught me slipping out. Come.

251
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,840
I can't take much of these soirees, so I
hide until my wife finds me and

252
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,840
rousts me back out.

253
00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:28,920
When vice prevails and impious men bear
sway, the post of honor is a private

254
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,260
station. Cato.

255
00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:32,300
You've seen the play?

256
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:34,500
No, but I've read it 50 times over.

257
00:21:35,140 --> 00:21:40,060
It is not immortals to command success,
but we'll do more. We'll deserve it.

258
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,440
Well said.

259
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:43,780
Do you happen to have Pope's essay on
man?

260
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,240
Would it be imposing if I asked to
borrow it?

261
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,940
I obtained a letter of introduction from
your cousin.

262
00:21:50,380 --> 00:21:52,180
An eccentric fellow, isn't he?

263
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:54,020
Indeed he is.

264
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:56,800
He lent me a book I'm surveying from his
library.

265
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,180
Not nearly as grand as yours.

266
00:21:59,460 --> 00:22:01,480
I put it to good use and obtained my
license.

267
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:03,660
I know you own five million acres now.

268
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,240
The only thing a landowner ever desires
is a plot next to his.

269
00:22:11,429 --> 00:22:12,429
Yes, I do.

270
00:22:13,630 --> 00:22:18,770
I also know a great amount of that land
is in the Ohio Valley and has not been

271
00:22:18,770 --> 00:22:19,770
charted.

272
00:22:20,010 --> 00:22:23,350
I sense a looming storm over the Ohio
Territory.

273
00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:26,650
Inevitable, I'm afraid.

274
00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:29,870
I could go there, survey it, and map it
for you.

275
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:34,010
That land that isn't properly measured
cannot be properly valued or protected.

276
00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:36,230
Much of that territory is unexplored.

277
00:22:36,850 --> 00:22:38,850
Many have traveled there never to be
seen again.

278
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,200
Yes.

279
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:45,200
But no man who lived a life of ease ever
left a name worth remembering, sir.

280
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,500
I'll take the risk upon myself.

281
00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:50,700
I'll make it to the furthest reaches of
your plot and report back.

282
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,760
And I'll put my name to that promise.

283
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:55,420
Is this man bothering you, sir?

284
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,500
Hardly.

285
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,060
I accept your proposal, George.

286
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:05,460
Thank you, sir.

287
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,580
Enjoy the party, Washington.

288
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,400
Christopher Guest.

289
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:35,860
George?

290
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:43,780
Good to see you. It's good to see you.

291
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,440
George, these are the brothers Frisk.
Henry, the oldest, and his baby brother,

292
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320
David. My two most loyal friends.

293
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:54,920
Do not trust them.

294
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,500
There's a nice coat you got there.

295
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:58,880
Careful, he's a thief.

296
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:00,940
Leave him alone.

297
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,680
Where are you coming from, all fresh and
plump?

298
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Beauvoir.

299
00:24:12,910 --> 00:24:16,610
That mean you're too fancy to place a
little wider?

300
00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:22,450
How about you place one for me?

301
00:24:23,450 --> 00:24:26,190
What are you doing here?

302
00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:27,910
Not a job for us.

303
00:24:28,330 --> 00:24:29,590
I'm too drunk for work.

304
00:24:30,590 --> 00:24:31,670
Ambition waits for no man.

305
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:33,669
What is it?

306
00:24:33,670 --> 00:24:35,230
You're surveying the Ohio Territory.

307
00:24:36,130 --> 00:24:37,910
I need someone who could keep me alive.

308
00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:39,850
Who?

309
00:24:40,060 --> 00:24:41,060
North Fairfax.

310
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:44,000
What part?

311
00:24:44,460 --> 00:24:45,460
Most all of it.

312
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:47,060
Days by the Acre.

313
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:55,680
Well, let's get it done.

314
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:58,660
To Virginia!

315
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,500
To Virginia!

316
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,440
And he's the last!

317
00:25:20,949 --> 00:25:22,010
It's beautiful, isn't it?

318
00:25:22,750 --> 00:25:23,750
Yeah.

319
00:25:27,090 --> 00:25:28,330
That don't belong to you.

320
00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:31,510
Well, if we go far enough, it doesn't
belong to anyone.

321
00:25:38,730 --> 00:25:43,690
Dear Madam, Gazing at the new world, I
now write to express my joy.

322
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:47,930
I was honored with your short but very
agreeable favor of our first

323
00:25:47,930 --> 00:25:48,930
acquaintance.

324
00:25:50,270 --> 00:25:54,890
In this case, to one who is too sensible
of our charms to deny the power whose

325
00:25:54,890 --> 00:25:59,430
influence I feel and must ever submit
to, I am aware of how impossible this

326
00:25:59,430 --> 00:26:03,570
is, but if you will allow me to prove
myself, I pledge to rule out all

327
00:26:03,570 --> 00:26:04,570
disappointment.

328
00:26:09,230 --> 00:26:12,910
I wish I could be with you, or rather,
you here with me, so that you could

329
00:26:12,910 --> 00:26:14,130
witness the beauty of this land.

330
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:18,310
Thanks. Let's see who this is.

331
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:22,290
Pass it back. Pass it back. Miss Sally
Carey?

332
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:27,790
You might as well petition the Queen of
England, George.

333
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:29,530
She's above your station.

334
00:26:31,130 --> 00:26:32,130
Permanently.

335
00:26:33,610 --> 00:26:35,350
If our battles you can win, George.

336
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:39,540
Not signature, though.

337
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,580
I am your humble, devoted servant.

338
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:02,320
We're not going to make it back before
winter sets in.

339
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,240
The horses have done all they can.

340
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:06,220
We must leave them.

341
00:27:07,409 --> 00:27:08,409
There's a village.

342
00:27:08,850 --> 00:27:11,430
About half a day's journey from here.

343
00:27:12,490 --> 00:27:13,490
Take a shelter.

344
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:15,110
Right out the cold.

345
00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:16,930
No, no, it's too long a time.

346
00:27:17,690 --> 00:27:19,530
I suppose you'd rather freeze to death.

347
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:21,750
We have to return.

348
00:27:22,930 --> 00:27:24,990
So you can see your woman? So we can get
paid.

349
00:27:26,530 --> 00:27:28,710
There's no becoming of a gentleman to
lie to himself.

350
00:27:56,919 --> 00:27:58,260
He's not too fond of your compass.

351
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Offer them the horses.

352
00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:04,440
George, no longer of use to us.

353
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:06,800
But we could still be saved. Serve them.

354
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:08,840
You offer dying horses?

355
00:28:11,310 --> 00:28:13,190
For the land given to me by my father?

356
00:28:15,310 --> 00:28:16,730
For him by his father?

357
00:28:20,010 --> 00:28:22,710
You have no right to take what we've
possessed for generations.

358
00:28:23,870 --> 00:28:25,190
You're not here to claim this land.

359
00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:30,350
We're here for civilians only.

360
00:28:53,710 --> 00:28:55,010
I know what you want, Englishman.

361
00:28:57,450 --> 00:28:58,630
I'm gonna offer something more.

362
00:29:02,270 --> 00:29:03,270
Something for your king.

363
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:24,410
Who's for that?

364
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:27,230
It's the French.

365
00:29:36,250 --> 00:29:37,370
Are you sure?

366
00:29:38,030 --> 00:29:39,770
This is the fastest way home?

367
00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:41,870
Saves us two days.

368
00:29:42,150 --> 00:29:46,050
If we fall off this raft, we'll freeze
to death. No, no, we have to get this

369
00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:47,050
information back.

370
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:50,570
You're full of surprises, you know.

371
00:29:51,210 --> 00:29:52,310
Speaking their tongue.

372
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,300
Well, know thy enemy.

373
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,860
Are they the enemy?

374
00:29:56,420 --> 00:30:01,320
They let us go. Only because they hate
the French more than they hate us.

375
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,320
George? Yeah.

376
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,600
George, look.

377
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:08,700
Look.

378
00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:16,480
Get to the

379
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,480
shore! French!

380
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Who brings push?

381
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,020
I'm trying to get to the shore! Hold

382
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:30,200
on,

383
00:30:30,420 --> 00:30:31,420
hold on!

384
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,800
This way!

385
00:30:48,940 --> 00:30:49,940
Where is Christopher?

386
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:20,500
Swing and cross.

387
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Christopher.

388
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,000
Christopher, wake up.

389
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,320
Wake up.

390
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Christopher.

391
00:32:08,140 --> 00:32:10,080
You believe in miracles?

392
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,880
Get up. How does it freeze?

393
00:32:22,580 --> 00:32:23,640
Do I risk it?

394
00:32:49,929 --> 00:32:51,990
You can confirm this?

395
00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:56,050
Yes. So can Christopher Guest.

396
00:32:58,450 --> 00:33:01,550
If you have these delivered to Governor
Dimwitty, he can...

397
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:08,680
Consumption, they say.

398
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,400
All men die, George.

399
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,800
I can't go to the governor in my state.

400
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,580
You wish to advance your station?

401
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,500
My condition may be your answer.

402
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,500
You saw these things with your own eyes?

403
00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,820
Yes, Your Excellency. And land owned
rightly and duly by us. The Fairfaxes. I

404
00:34:00,820 --> 00:34:03,340
also own a significant share of land
there.

405
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,200
This French encroachment cannot stand.
They must be told to abandon it. By

406
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,199
whom, sir?

407
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,100
We don't even know where they are. I do,
sir.

408
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:15,300
I could lead this expedition to deliver
your demands to the French.

409
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,940
I know the land, sir, better than
anyone.

410
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:19,128
You?

411
00:34:19,129 --> 00:34:22,270
In the 15 years since the Crown sent me
to serve, I've yet to have a good

412
00:34:22,270 --> 00:34:26,190
experience with a colonist. Well, I look
forward to changing your opinion. If

413
00:34:26,190 --> 00:34:29,130
there is to be a colonial expedition, it
will be led by your own brother.

414
00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:30,750
He commands the militia.

415
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:35,050
Lawrence's health fails him, sir. And he
is no longer able to fulfill the duties

416
00:34:35,050 --> 00:34:36,050
of his post.

417
00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:37,250
Here.

418
00:34:37,690 --> 00:34:39,230
He recommends me as his replacement.

419
00:34:44,130 --> 00:34:45,270
So you have ambition.

420
00:34:45,889 --> 00:34:46,848
Yes, sir.

421
00:34:46,850 --> 00:34:47,839
I do.

422
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,060
I see you met the savage you would call
the half-king.

423
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,460
I have met the man.

424
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,060
He led me to this information, but
whether he can be trusted, I'm not

425
00:34:56,060 --> 00:34:58,280
certain. You should be alarmed if you
were.

426
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:02,720
Go and parley with this half-king.

427
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:07,040
Learn all you can from him. Then take
your men to Fort LaBeouf, demand a

428
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,040
French leave.

429
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:13,520
My... My... My men, sir? Yes, recruit.

430
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,020
A hundred and fifty of your fellow
Virginians.

431
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,440
Lead them.

432
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,080
and deliver this message.

433
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,440
Which says what, sir?

434
00:35:21,740 --> 00:35:23,500
That they leave immediately.

435
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:25,440
And if the French refuse?

436
00:35:25,940 --> 00:35:27,060
Do not permit them to refuse.

437
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:31,960
So then I'm to fight? You are to deliver
a message and await further orders.

438
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:35,480
Your Excellency, if I may, will he not
need the assistance of professional

439
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,840
soldiers of the Crown?

440
00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:40,600
No, Malachy will do, especially under
one of such ambition.

441
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,500
You shall receive the rank of major in
the Virginia militia, which is not a

442
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:47,500
royal commission, understood?

443
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,760
There's an interpreter here, von Braun,
Dutchman.

444
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,440
Take him.

445
00:35:55,260 --> 00:35:57,880
Will my men and I receive equal pay,
sir?

446
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,280
To whom?

447
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:01,960
British officers of the crown.

448
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,140
Mr. Washington, you've just advanced
from farmer to major in a matter of

449
00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:09,040
seconds. What you ask for is offensive
to me.

450
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,860
Then I will volunteer my service.

451
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,440
I have no need to pay that is not equal
to those of whom I will prove myself

452
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,440
equal.

453
00:36:17,340 --> 00:36:18,340
Sir.

454
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,760
God save the king.

455
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:42,030
I read them all ten times over.

456
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:48,910
At the river's fork, the world widened
as though God himself had drawn back the

457
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:50,530
curtain and whispered, begin.

458
00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:55,090
These are not Severus notes.

459
00:36:55,570 --> 00:36:59,630
No, you love the frontier the way poets
love their first muse.

460
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:01,510
Why?

461
00:37:01,790 --> 00:37:03,970
They loved me first, I guess.

462
00:37:04,990 --> 00:37:05,990
Offered fairness.

463
00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:08,490
Fairness? Yes, because the frontier is
new.

464
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:10,300
Wild, unclaimed.

465
00:37:11,620 --> 00:37:13,540
Vast enough to outrun the old ways.

466
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,660
And old rules, like dowries and fathers
who barter daughters. Rules that say a

467
00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:20,760
man is measured by ancestors you never
met.

468
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,700
Do you ever fear choosing incorrectly?

469
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,420
That the path you seek might vanish if
you hesitate?

470
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:35,900
The fear of not being able to choose is
worse.

471
00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:43,690
My fear is choosing and then being told
it was never my choice to be in with.

472
00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:46,790
What would your choice be?

473
00:37:59,130 --> 00:38:06,110
If we were to follow the river west,
just you and I, what would we

474
00:38:06,110 --> 00:38:07,110
call that life?

475
00:38:11,009 --> 00:38:12,009
Wild. Beautiful.

476
00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:16,010
Dangerous. But free.

477
00:38:20,210 --> 00:38:22,170
I yearn for the courage I see in you.

478
00:38:24,050 --> 00:38:26,050
And I for the grace you carry with ease.

479
00:38:30,330 --> 00:38:31,510
I should be getting back.

480
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:35,390
Where?

481
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:38,270
Another party?

482
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:40,540
Another performance.

483
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:44,640
My solemn duty.

484
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:30,140
Congratulations on your first command,
Major. An army of outlaws, debtors,

485
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:33,540
slaves, and, uh, some patriots.

486
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,060
Got any rum in those carts?

487
00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:37,940
Only once rationed. Only rationed us
some.

488
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:39,560
Bagging line frisk.

489
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,760
Should leave them. How we carry the rum?

490
00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:49,540
Fair point.

491
00:39:50,940 --> 00:39:51,940
Tucker.

492
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,280
Yes, sir.

493
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:54,680
We'll camp here for the night.

494
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,320
Ride ahead and make sure the road is
clear.

495
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,140
I wake up at midnight.

496
00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:09,280
George is staring into the woods, right
up against a tree.

497
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,180
So he's been keeping watch.

498
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,040
You scared of the dark, George?

499
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,440
George, do you remember?

500
00:40:18,220 --> 00:40:20,080
Another love letter?

501
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,260
That one's gonna make you soft.

502
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:32,400
It's Tucker's horse.

503
00:41:00,910 --> 00:41:02,110
We meet again.

504
00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:08,050
Lieutenant Treason of the Seneca Nation.

505
00:41:08,730 --> 00:41:12,130
You ride on land we call home. The
governor assures me you're willing to

506
00:41:12,130 --> 00:41:13,130
aid us.

507
00:41:15,150 --> 00:41:17,290
Many Indians are aligned with the
French. Why aren't you?

508
00:41:18,910 --> 00:41:20,030
I know their nature.

509
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:22,840
And their intentions.

510
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:25,240
What are yours?

511
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,760
To demand they leave.

512
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,640
And when they do not?

513
00:41:29,860 --> 00:41:30,860
It's not my decision.

514
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,120
And yet you are here.

515
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,780
Yes, and I would greatly appreciate any
help you could give us.

516
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,400
What are you called?

517
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:46,460
George.

518
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,240
Major George Washington.

519
00:42:02,410 --> 00:42:03,850
The French fort is a day from here.

520
00:42:06,670 --> 00:42:07,670
We can take you.

521
00:42:40,210 --> 00:42:41,330
Why are you here?

522
00:43:19,340 --> 00:43:21,260
On behalf

523
00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:29,600
of

524
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,100
the royal governor of Virginia,
gentlemen,

525
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,580
The lands located along the Ohio River
are so universally recognized as

526
00:43:38,580 --> 00:43:43,700
belonging to the Great Britain Crown
that it causes me as much concern as

527
00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:47,660
astonishment to learn that a corps of
French troops is erecting fortifications

528
00:43:47,660 --> 00:43:50,080
within the territories of His Majesty.

529
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,780
These territories.

530
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,520
Go on, please.

531
00:43:56,540 --> 00:44:01,180
In the name of the king, my lord, I
hasten the carrier of the present, Mr.

532
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,500
George Washington.

533
00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:12,190
You are the Major.

534
00:44:12,530 --> 00:44:13,730
Or his aide.

535
00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:15,450
I am Major Washington.

536
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,000
He's inviting us to dine with him.

537
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Can we speak in private?

538
00:45:05,150 --> 00:45:09,070
He says there's no need to leave the
table.

539
00:45:10,310 --> 00:45:11,510
We're all friends here.

540
00:45:16,030 --> 00:45:17,030
So,

541
00:45:17,930 --> 00:45:25,690
how

542
00:45:25,690 --> 00:45:26,970
is it you are a Major?

543
00:45:29,770 --> 00:45:30,770
Do you even shave?

544
00:45:32,810 --> 00:45:34,830
You have no military service.

545
00:45:35,130 --> 00:45:36,130
Is this true?

546
00:45:37,510 --> 00:45:41,910
Magnifique. You are not British, yet
they send you to speak for them.

547
00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:43,930
Why do you think that is?

548
00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:49,910
So that when you fail, they'll have
someone to blame.

549
00:45:51,530 --> 00:45:57,610
The king emphatically demands you leave
the Ohio country and the territories

550
00:45:57,610 --> 00:45:58,610
altogether.

551
00:45:59,980 --> 00:46:02,540
This land has long been claimed by the
British crown.

552
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,560
And when it was this?

553
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,640
Come.

554
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:08,740
When did they claim it?

555
00:46:10,580 --> 00:46:11,720
You must withdraw.

556
00:46:12,060 --> 00:46:14,100
Because you think you own this land?

557
00:46:16,660 --> 00:46:21,420
Who does own this land if not the one
who has the will to tame it?

558
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,860
I accept your message.

559
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,700
You have delivered it.

560
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:43,880
Now go.

561
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:47,520
The king demands a reply.

562
00:46:53,740 --> 00:46:56,920
Then tell your king we have claimed it.

563
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,260
We will never leave.

564
00:47:01,380 --> 00:47:03,020
Then we will force you to leave.

565
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:10,960
You do not want to start a war.

566
00:47:16,460 --> 00:47:18,740
Take your pet savage and go.

567
00:47:28,420 --> 00:47:30,200
Camp 50 miles south of here.

568
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,200
We're gonna ride ahead and deliver the
message.

569
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:33,720
Should we send a scout?

570
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,540
I'm the fastest scout we have.

571
00:48:05,110 --> 00:48:07,910
Major, you will deliver this ultimatum
at once.

572
00:48:11,030 --> 00:48:13,750
The French spit in my face.

573
00:48:14,010 --> 00:48:16,970
Governor, with respect, could you
clarify... Transcribe all you have so I

574
00:48:16,970 --> 00:48:18,630
can report this to the council in the
morning.

575
00:48:20,590 --> 00:48:21,590
Very well.

576
00:48:22,410 --> 00:48:25,970
Grant me one night's rest and fresh
balance. I've ridden 300 miles to get

577
00:48:25,970 --> 00:48:30,530
here. You will rest when His Majesty's
frontier rests. Before dawn, you'll

578
00:48:30,530 --> 00:48:34,630
present a full transcription of your
journal, maps, strength estimates, every

579
00:48:34,630 --> 00:48:37,730
scratch of observation for the council's
brief at 10 o'clock. Understood?

580
00:48:38,690 --> 00:48:40,050
Understood, sir. Good.

581
00:48:40,510 --> 00:48:44,430
Now go and prove the Crown correct in
placing trust in the provincial.

582
00:48:49,610 --> 00:48:51,870
This is a dangerous escalation, George.

583
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:54,730
You're to deliver this.

584
00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:58,370
I've been ordered to deliver this.

585
00:48:58,810 --> 00:48:59,810
You volunteered.

586
00:49:04,330 --> 00:49:05,330
No.

587
00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:10,010
No, perhaps I can speak. No, no. This is
the moment I've been waiting for. I

588
00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:11,010
don't think it is, George.

589
00:49:14,110 --> 00:49:15,730
Why is no one else volunteering?

590
00:49:18,070 --> 00:49:19,070
Why does no...

591
00:49:19,230 --> 00:49:20,770
British officer, lead this expedition.

592
00:49:26,130 --> 00:49:31,790
They're using you, George, as a proxy to
claim land for them.

593
00:49:33,150 --> 00:49:35,370
If you succeed, they will rob you of the
glory.

594
00:49:36,310 --> 00:49:38,330
If you fail, they'll have a colonial to
blame.

595
00:49:38,850 --> 00:49:42,190
Then I'll not fail. Well, if you do, you
could start a war. Well, thank you for

596
00:49:42,190 --> 00:49:43,190
your trust in me.

597
00:49:43,770 --> 00:49:44,790
That's not what I meant.

598
00:49:46,090 --> 00:49:47,090
Then we'll claim it.

599
00:49:47,660 --> 00:49:48,940
And I will earn their respect.

600
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:51,520
That is what you taught me, is it not?

601
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,540
Besides, this is a new world. A new
world?

602
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,800
The soil may be new, but their owners
still write their ledgers into old ink.

603
00:49:59,820 --> 00:50:00,820
I don't write!

604
00:50:05,620 --> 00:50:10,320
You're betting your life on a system
designed to deny you.

605
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,040
Every triumph you have will be chalked
up to luck. Your native allies would...

606
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,360
British themselves.

607
00:50:18,260 --> 00:50:19,260
Never a year.

608
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:24,220
So I should stay here, mind the crops,
and live quietly because I was born

609
00:50:24,220 --> 00:50:26,020
quietly, do nothing with my life?

610
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,680
Better alive and quiet than dead and
forgotten in the Alligators.

611
00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:34,440
You sound like Mother. I speak the
truth. Well, I would rather die unknown

612
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,300
than live believing the world's measure
of me is fixed. That...

613
00:50:38,220 --> 00:50:41,300
That is pride. No, that is faith in what
a man can forge with his own hands.

614
00:50:41,540 --> 00:50:44,000
You cannot forge your way into their
system. And why not?

615
00:50:44,300 --> 00:50:47,420
Because that is not the way the world
works. Then someone should remake it.

616
00:50:52,060 --> 00:50:55,520
George, you cannot change these things.

617
00:50:57,620 --> 00:50:59,760
And you may well die trying.

618
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,400
George, I wish you believed in me.

619
00:51:46,020 --> 00:51:49,200
Major Washington, I thought you were
leading your men to the frontier.

620
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,440
Tomorrow I am.

621
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:52,220
I've returned on an urgent matter.

622
00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:55,920
I'll go back in the morning, but tonight
I'm here for you.

623
00:51:58,940 --> 00:52:00,560
George, there's no fairness here.

624
00:52:01,420 --> 00:52:03,460
Miss Carey, may I have the stunts?

625
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,400
Yes, Major.

626
00:52:45,380 --> 00:52:48,220
George, I see you found a tailor.

627
00:52:48,580 --> 00:52:50,900
Yes, and tonight I wear His Majesty's
commission.

628
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:55,420
At dawn, I am to lead 150 soldiers to
demand the French leave our land.

629
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,900
Well, our land, to be precise.

630
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:02,160
And this is not exactly His Majesty's
commission.

631
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,100
Your uniform, however crimson, still
prints colonial.

632
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,600
William. It is a point I make
intentionally, sadly.

633
00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:11,680
I fear for you, George.

634
00:53:12,700 --> 00:53:13,700
And I...

635
00:53:13,850 --> 00:53:16,270
question our governor's decision.

636
00:53:17,250 --> 00:53:22,670
If the situation with the French is so
dire, why would they not send

637
00:53:22,670 --> 00:53:24,210
professional soldiers of the crown?

638
00:53:24,610 --> 00:53:25,730
Because I volunteered.

639
00:53:27,410 --> 00:53:29,130
And if you care so much, why didn't you?

640
00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:32,530
Because I have an estate to run.

641
00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:35,810
And I have a fortune to manage.

642
00:53:36,230 --> 00:53:38,070
And people depend on me.

643
00:53:40,410 --> 00:53:42,850
But... I...

644
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,280
can send along two of my best slaves,
Charles and Sam.

645
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,060
Charles knows horses better than most
grooms in Virginia.

646
00:53:52,220 --> 00:53:54,580
Well, I wouldn't want to deprive you of
their labor.

647
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:56,940
We have plenty.

648
00:53:57,820 --> 00:53:58,820
Major Washington.

649
00:54:01,260 --> 00:54:03,720
Congratulations on your rank and
assignment.

650
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,360
An astonishing rise.

651
00:54:07,380 --> 00:54:08,460
Thank you, sir.

652
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,640
So, what think you about young William
and Sally?

653
00:54:13,270 --> 00:54:16,110
Do they not make a handsome couple?

654
00:54:16,610 --> 00:54:19,670
We are gathered here to celebrate this.

655
00:54:20,350 --> 00:54:22,770
Thy betrothal is scarcely a week old.

656
00:54:25,210 --> 00:54:26,850
Indeed they do.

657
00:54:27,670 --> 00:54:30,550
Splendid. Now, may I propose a toast?

658
00:54:31,110 --> 00:54:36,230
To Major Washington, who rides at first
light, who convinced the French that our

659
00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:37,630
wilderness is rightly theirs.

660
00:54:42,890 --> 00:54:45,010
Major Washington. Major Washington.

661
00:54:45,870 --> 00:54:50,790
William, Miss Carey, forgive the stir. I
look forward to returning worthy of your

662
00:54:50,790 --> 00:54:51,790
investment.

663
00:54:52,530 --> 00:54:53,530
Under your care.

664
00:55:06,570 --> 00:55:07,830
Act on the defensive.

665
00:55:08,670 --> 00:55:12,740
But if any attempts are made to disrupt
our work or settlements... Restrain all

666
00:55:12,740 --> 00:55:16,720
such offenders and make prisoners of or
kill and destroy them.

667
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:19,660
Well, that's clear as mud.

668
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:20,980
He cannot be serious.

669
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,320
Destroy them?

670
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,520
If it's war he wants, it's best to
reinforce us with proper British

671
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,080
soldiers. We ain't here to fight.

672
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,840
Why are you? Get paid. This is our duty.
No, it ain't.

673
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,420
We delivered his little letter. We
should leave.

674
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:35,760
You will not.

675
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,860
Or I will have you flogged as a
deserter.

676
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,480
Now, we didn't sign up for no war. Put
on the coat!

677
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,600
You took it off!

678
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,820
You have a duty, as do I.

679
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,260
If this goes wrong, he'll blame
Virginia.

680
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,020
Then what he speaks for the crown.

681
00:55:59,740 --> 00:56:04,340
It's decided this is a direct order, and
we will obey it. It's not direct at all.

682
00:56:04,580 --> 00:56:06,060
And your gods have delivered you to war?

683
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,200
That's not our intent.

684
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,100
It's much further south, much closer.

685
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,400
How close?

686
00:56:14,580 --> 00:56:15,580
Five miles.

687
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:17,720
He searches for land to build another
fort.

688
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,660
But a man you abandon the land he calls
his own.

689
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:24,200
Take me to him.

690
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,460
A simple reconnaissance.

691
00:56:28,340 --> 00:56:29,340
Agreed?

692
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,140
Drunk with his own pride, he defies you
and your king by traveling this far.

693
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,200
What will you do?

694
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:26,320
Hold your ground.

695
00:57:27,700 --> 00:57:28,880
It's all the monks again to leave.

696
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:30,860
What do you do when they refuse?

697
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Pray.

698
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,440
Who fired that shot?

699
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,800
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Prisoners only!

700
00:59:27,370 --> 00:59:31,870
I do not know who fired that first shot.

701
00:59:33,290 --> 00:59:37,030
But in light of these unfortunate
events, I fear a war with the French is

702
00:59:37,030 --> 00:59:38,030
indeed imminent.

703
00:59:39,610 --> 00:59:42,070
We are building a fort and taking up a
defensive position.

704
00:59:43,810 --> 00:59:48,090
In the spirit of mutual benefit, please
send reinforcements to aid our endeavor.

705
00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:53,350
Hey, why don't we arm them?

706
00:59:53,910 --> 00:59:55,370
Need all the men we can get.

707
00:59:57,410 --> 00:59:58,410
They're my shooters.

708
01:00:00,090 --> 01:00:01,090
Wouldn't you?

709
01:00:01,630 --> 01:00:02,630
Fair point.

710
01:00:02,990 --> 01:00:03,990
Gist! Yeah?

711
01:00:07,050 --> 01:00:08,430
Permission to speak my mind.

712
01:00:08,810 --> 01:00:09,830
Ever stopped you?

713
01:00:10,750 --> 01:00:13,150
Building this fort too low.

714
01:00:13,990 --> 01:00:14,990
What do you mean?

715
01:00:16,010 --> 01:00:17,010
The walls?

716
01:00:18,570 --> 01:00:19,890
No, not the walls.

717
01:00:20,470 --> 01:00:23,070
This here, it's a dry lake bed.

718
01:00:23,790 --> 01:00:25,470
One good rain, it'll flood out.

719
01:00:26,610 --> 01:00:29,530
Besides, I could shoot every one of us
from them trees.

720
01:00:35,180 --> 01:00:36,280
I sure know what he doing.

721
01:00:40,540 --> 01:00:41,540
What you riding?

722
01:00:42,260 --> 01:00:43,960
Another plea for reinforcements.

723
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:45,900
From who?

724
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:47,280
Other colonies.

725
01:00:48,860 --> 01:00:51,500
Pennsylvania don't care about Virginia's
problems.

726
01:00:51,980 --> 01:00:53,540
Well, the French are the concern of all.

727
01:00:53,820 --> 01:00:54,820
Agreed?

728
01:00:56,940 --> 01:00:58,440
This area lays awfully low.

729
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,160
The forest gives us cover.

730
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,000
The Great Meadows offer plenty of space
and a clear view of any incoming

731
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:10,380
threats. If they attack from the front,
or we'll be easy targets when the fort

732
01:01:10,380 --> 01:01:11,380
floods.

733
01:01:14,740 --> 01:01:16,460
I guess what would you have me do?

734
01:01:16,820 --> 01:01:17,820
Major Washington?

735
01:01:18,700 --> 01:01:19,700
The King's troops.

736
01:01:19,820 --> 01:01:20,820
What about them?

737
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:22,560
They're here.

738
01:01:45,450 --> 01:01:46,450
Where's Washington?

739
01:01:46,670 --> 01:01:47,930
Hi, Major Washington.

740
01:01:49,230 --> 01:01:50,930
Captain James Mackay.

741
01:01:52,090 --> 01:01:53,770
Orders from Governor Dinwiddie.

742
01:01:55,650 --> 01:02:01,450
We are here to reinforce the Virginia
Regiment and deal with this situation

743
01:02:01,450 --> 01:02:02,450
you've created.

744
01:02:03,330 --> 01:02:08,390
French and Indian soldiers, professional
soldiers, are nearly upon us. There are

745
01:02:08,390 --> 01:02:09,470
a thousand in total.

746
01:02:09,910 --> 01:02:13,270
They are commanded by Louis Coulon de
Villiers.

747
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,220
Rather to Joseph Coulon de Villiers de
Jumonville.

748
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:18,420
The man who you killed.

749
01:02:23,620 --> 01:02:26,120
This letter says Colonel Joshua Fry is
in command.

750
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,500
Oh, the boy can read.

751
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,040
Where is he?

752
01:02:29,260 --> 01:02:30,260
Dead.

753
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,980
Fell from his horse two days ago and
broke his neck.

754
01:02:33,940 --> 01:02:37,020
You are to assume his rank as Colonel,
Mr. Washington.

755
01:02:39,980 --> 01:02:41,200
Well then, welcome.

756
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:42,980
We need all the help we can get.

757
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,640
I do not take orders from you.

758
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:50,720
But you just said I was to assume the
rank as colonel. My commission is royal.

759
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,940
You could be a general and I wouldn't
have to listen to you.

760
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,480
Praise God.

761
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,420
Now, what do you call this fort?

762
01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:02,060
Well, it was made by necessity.

763
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,580
So I think that's a fitting name.

764
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,480
We will camp a hundred yards to the
front.

765
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,800
No doubt the French will engage us
there.

766
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:12,400
Colonel.

767
01:03:13,130 --> 01:03:14,130
Van Bram.

768
01:03:19,250 --> 01:03:20,750
The boy colonel.

769
01:03:47,740 --> 01:03:48,740
How's the progress?

770
01:03:49,140 --> 01:03:51,660
They're just taking in water faster than
we can throw it.

771
01:03:51,980 --> 01:03:57,680
I say, if this keeps up, I'll commission
my men to construct a Royal Navy.

772
01:03:58,820 --> 01:03:59,820
Keep trying.

773
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,300
I can shoot you from the trees.

774
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,460
The French won't fire from the trees.

775
01:04:07,100 --> 01:04:09,400
They'll assemble in the open fields to
fight with honor.

776
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,660
You call this land the New World?

777
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,360
that you live by the old ways, they will
lead you to death.

778
01:04:17,540 --> 01:04:19,020
Any recruits among the Shawnee?

779
01:04:19,700 --> 01:04:22,540
No. What about the Delaware or the
Mingo? No.

780
01:04:23,220 --> 01:04:24,440
Some have even joined the French.

781
01:04:25,180 --> 01:04:26,180
None will aid you.

782
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:29,880
Neither will we.

783
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,380
You will not lead.

784
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:35,400
Your vengeance startles.

785
01:04:35,900 --> 01:04:37,540
And your stubbornness will be the end of
it.

786
01:04:38,340 --> 01:04:41,140
French are cowards, and the British are
fools.

787
01:04:41,740 --> 01:04:42,940
You do not know how to fight here.

788
01:04:43,620 --> 01:04:45,900
I was born here on this land, as were
you.

789
01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:47,960
Can we not fight for it together?

790
01:04:49,420 --> 01:04:52,120
This land does not belong to you.

791
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,040
While you kill each other, you wait to
reclaim it.

792
01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:02,400
George, you made the wrong choice of
ground.

793
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,940
Admit it. It's just... It's all right.
It's all right.

794
01:05:06,220 --> 01:05:07,220
Admit it.

795
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:08,780
Our supplies are exhausted.

796
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,780
We're two days' rations at best.

797
01:05:11,260 --> 01:05:14,680
Move the camp and save the men.

798
01:05:18,340 --> 01:05:19,500
We'll stand our ground.

799
01:05:27,220 --> 01:05:28,480
Any sign of the French?

800
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,160
Nothing. No doubt the arrival of actual
soldiers would have stopped their

801
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:36,380
advancements. But listen, my men are
camping in what is now a swamp.

802
01:05:37,060 --> 01:05:38,120
What do you want me to do?

803
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,640
Find solid ground.

804
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,280
Or better yet, an experienced commander.

805
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:43,960
Are you challenging my authority?

806
01:05:44,420 --> 01:05:45,820
You have no authority.

807
01:06:38,670 --> 01:06:42,310
Fire to the men, keep 15 to 40, fire to
the 3. 50 will fit in the 40, flood it

808
01:06:42,310 --> 01:06:43,530
out. As many as you can, then.

809
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:45,470
All right, men, on me, move, move, move,
move!

810
01:06:45,790 --> 01:06:47,310
Level up at your front line, present!

811
01:06:49,330 --> 01:06:50,330
Fire!

812
01:06:52,330 --> 01:06:53,330
George!

813
01:06:53,870 --> 01:06:54,870
Cannons!

814
01:06:59,090 --> 01:07:00,910
The war trust will fly in here.

815
01:07:01,750 --> 01:07:03,310
Second rank, forward!

816
01:07:05,330 --> 01:07:06,330
Present!

817
01:07:08,780 --> 01:07:09,780
Thank you.

818
01:08:24,810 --> 01:08:28,410
We keep fighting. Attacks bayonet. The
battle is lost.

819
01:08:28,729 --> 01:08:30,149
The battle is just begun.

820
01:08:31,149 --> 01:08:32,149
Manu boost.

821
01:08:32,649 --> 01:08:33,649
Manu boost.

822
01:09:09,350 --> 01:09:11,590
You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be
okay. Breathe.

823
01:09:11,950 --> 01:09:13,310
Breathe. Breathe.

824
01:09:14,069 --> 01:09:15,069
I'm sorry.

825
01:09:47,730 --> 01:09:49,210
Yes, it's right

826
01:09:49,210 --> 01:09:56,110
I'm sorry

827
01:09:56,110 --> 01:09:58,190
Chris, I'm so sorry

828
01:10:51,929 --> 01:10:53,990
Washington. Terms are somewhat
favorable.

829
01:10:55,270 --> 01:10:56,590
It's a mutual withdrawal.

830
01:10:57,710 --> 01:10:59,170
They take our artillery.

831
01:10:59,590 --> 01:11:00,830
We'll remove the flag.

832
01:11:01,870 --> 01:11:06,530
And so they demand you take
responsibility for their commander's

833
01:11:06,530 --> 01:11:07,530
unfortunate death.

834
01:11:10,430 --> 01:11:11,770
We didn't start this.

835
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:15,700
Nobody knows you'll find that fish.

836
01:11:20,100 --> 01:11:21,620
I've offered myself a security.

837
01:11:22,420 --> 01:11:23,460
I will go with them.

838
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:27,840
That's the best possible outcome,
Colonel.

839
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,240
What is the date today?

840
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:55,660
July 3rd.

841
01:11:56,020 --> 01:11:58,280
Then July 3rd will be etched in my
memory forever.

842
01:13:33,740 --> 01:13:38,140
Assassination. You confess to
assassinating a French officer.

843
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:41,940
It was not my intention, Your
Excellency. Is this not your signature?

844
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,840
Our intention had never been to trouble
peace, but only to revenge the

845
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,960
assassination of one of our officers.
The translator failed me, sir. I didn't

846
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:57,700
realize. I thought... Washington, to
lead is to forfeit the right to make

847
01:13:57,700 --> 01:13:58,700
excuses.

848
01:13:59,260 --> 01:14:01,120
Have you any idea what you've done?

849
01:14:01,900 --> 01:14:03,200
You started a war!

850
01:14:05,940 --> 01:14:09,740
I report that the battle was lost due to
poor munitions and lack of supplies.

851
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:11,320
But that is not the truth, sir.

852
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,180
That is the truth that suits me.

853
01:14:14,740 --> 01:14:16,900
Otherwise... Sir, I came here to resign
my commission.

854
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:22,440
I am not fit to lead.

855
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,940
I was never fit to lead.

856
01:14:30,570 --> 01:14:31,570
God save the king.

857
01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:38,230
And your resignation would say that I'm
not fit to choose.

858
01:14:39,130 --> 01:14:43,610
Washington, you abandon this office, you
abandon your ambition with it.

859
01:14:44,730 --> 01:14:46,010
Understood, sir.

860
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:21,080
Where's Lawrence?

861
01:15:27,380 --> 01:15:28,380
I'm sorry.

862
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,280
He wanted you to have his journals.

863
01:16:13,020 --> 01:16:14,020
You were right.

864
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:17,140
You knew I would fail.

865
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,100
It's not your fault, George.

866
01:16:20,740 --> 01:16:23,640
You did not lay your brother low, nor
those men.

867
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:27,420
I chose the ground.

868
01:16:28,540 --> 01:16:35,500
I put on the coat, I gave the order, and
now because of that... good

869
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:36,500
men are dead.

870
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:52,420
When your father died, there were
accounts I could not read,

871
01:16:52,540 --> 01:16:54,640
acres I could not plow.

872
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:00,840
But I learned, as women do, to keep a
tally with one hand

873
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:07,720
and a prayer with the other. I hardened
because the wind

874
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:08,840
here is hard.

875
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,460
Put iron in my voice.

876
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,320
It was hard on you, George.

877
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:21,360
I see you learned to be hard on
yourself.

878
01:17:22,260 --> 01:17:23,620
That was my sin.

879
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:35,880
You said Providence placed me here.

880
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:41,960
Why?

881
01:17:43,980 --> 01:17:45,020
For me to fail?

882
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:47,360
Perhaps.

883
01:17:49,620 --> 01:17:51,920
Failure is the tutor sent by God.

884
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,940
If you don't learn from it, you've
failed twice. If you do learn from it,

885
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,880
you've earned wisdom.

886
01:18:00,420 --> 01:18:03,960
So, what did it tell you?

887
01:18:06,540 --> 01:18:07,540
To go back.

888
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:12,940
But I'm afraid.

889
01:18:14,440 --> 01:18:15,740
of making the same mistakes.

890
01:18:20,180 --> 01:18:26,920
War is not the path I would choose for
you, but... Oh.

891
01:18:27,780 --> 01:18:29,440
On your feet, son.

892
01:18:33,020 --> 01:18:38,360
If you must return to soldiering... go.

893
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:42,900
As God's servant.

894
01:18:44,010 --> 01:18:45,830
Do it with your whole heart.

895
01:18:47,410 --> 01:18:48,450
Find your path.

896
01:18:49,450 --> 01:18:50,510
Make it yours.

897
01:18:50,950 --> 01:18:52,090
Make it straight.

898
01:18:55,210 --> 01:18:56,610
And prove them wrong.

899
01:19:01,830 --> 01:19:05,290
Because even a pawn can take the king.

900
01:20:04,950 --> 01:20:09,050
Sorry to disturb, sir.

901
01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:11,290
I'm George Washington.

902
01:20:11,570 --> 01:20:12,570
Ah!

903
01:20:13,630 --> 01:20:15,310
The reason I am here.

904
01:20:16,490 --> 01:20:18,690
Meet Colonel Thomas Gage.

905
01:20:19,630 --> 01:20:22,830
Gage has recently been promoted to
Colonel by Royal Commission.

906
01:20:23,710 --> 01:20:24,710
Who's that?

907
01:20:25,150 --> 01:20:28,110
I'm assuming you seek your previous
command.

908
01:20:28,390 --> 01:20:31,510
Gage has been tasked with leading your
militia and...

909
01:20:31,870 --> 01:20:33,110
is far more qualified.

910
01:20:33,470 --> 01:20:34,470
I'm sure he is.

911
01:20:34,890 --> 01:20:36,830
I neither ask for rank nor pay.

912
01:20:37,470 --> 01:20:40,610
I'm here to volunteer his raid to camp.
I believe I could be of some assistance

913
01:20:40,610 --> 01:20:41,810
to you. Oh, do not worry.

914
01:20:42,430 --> 01:20:47,350
Young Washington, these French and their
savages may have been a formidable enemy

915
01:20:47,350 --> 01:20:52,990
to you and your militia, but to the
king's troops, they are more of a

916
01:20:52,990 --> 01:20:53,969
nuisance, really.

917
01:20:53,970 --> 01:20:55,390
A bit of a waste of powder.

918
01:20:55,990 --> 01:21:00,550
We will prevail with ease. But with all
due respect, sir, I do not think

919
01:21:00,550 --> 01:21:01,550
we'll... be with ease.

920
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,420
Having fought... And lost.

921
01:21:04,260 --> 01:21:07,660
Having fought within the region, sir, I
believe I could be of some help to you.

922
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:08,960
Fort Duquesne is difficult.

923
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,480
Duquesne can hardly detain me above
three or four days.

924
01:21:13,780 --> 01:21:17,300
Sir, this is a very different type of
battle. Just the trip to the fort alone

925
01:21:17,300 --> 01:21:20,020
is a treacherous... A week at most. A
month.

926
01:21:21,100 --> 01:21:22,100
A month?

927
01:21:22,220 --> 01:21:23,220
If lucky.

928
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,000
For most of the journey, you'll be
traveling single file over what is

929
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,760
barely a trail. Not even wide enough for
wagons.

930
01:21:30,440 --> 01:21:32,560
I've surveyed the land. I know this
land.

931
01:21:33,020 --> 01:21:35,460
The French are located here where the
three rivers meet.

932
01:21:35,860 --> 01:21:39,300
Because of the land, the style of
warfare is, uh, it's different.

933
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,040
These are not the open battlefields to
which you're accustomed.

934
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,000
I have fought in a great many
battlefields.

935
01:21:45,380 --> 01:21:46,520
Not in the New World, sir.

936
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,660
You lost in the New World.

937
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:53,680
Yes.

938
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:55,240
You're right.

939
01:21:55,420 --> 01:21:56,860
But failure is a great teacher.

940
01:22:00,270 --> 01:22:03,370
I desire to serve under someone of your
ability and experience to learn more.

941
01:22:04,350 --> 01:22:05,350
Sir.

942
01:22:10,950 --> 01:22:11,950
You may come.

943
01:22:12,110 --> 01:22:14,730
As advisor and aide, that is all.

944
01:22:15,370 --> 01:22:16,370
Thank you, General Braddock.

945
01:22:17,010 --> 01:22:18,910
Colonel Gage see that he is
accommodated.

946
01:22:20,030 --> 01:22:21,030
Yes, sir.

947
01:22:59,810 --> 01:23:00,810
So, Washington.

948
01:23:01,830 --> 01:23:04,870
From colonel to aide to camp, how the
mighty have fallen.

949
01:23:06,410 --> 01:23:10,850
Well, I was never given the royal
commission as colonel, so does it truly

950
01:23:10,850 --> 01:23:11,850
matter?

951
01:23:12,630 --> 01:23:13,790
This is important to you?

952
01:23:14,170 --> 01:23:15,450
In fairness, yes.

953
01:23:16,610 --> 01:23:17,610
Gate!

954
01:23:17,910 --> 01:23:19,830
What on God's earth is the delay here?

955
01:23:20,070 --> 01:23:23,130
A fallen tree, I believe, sir. Well, how
do you expect to win a battle if you

956
01:23:23,130 --> 01:23:24,710
can't even defeat a tree? Yes, sir.

957
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:31,280
I have fought the king's battles on
three continents, but never have I been

958
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:32,380
defeated by a tree.

959
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:37,720
This is no army. This is a centipede
with death.

960
01:23:39,940 --> 01:23:42,480
Henry, David, look who's here.

961
01:23:45,860 --> 01:23:47,900
Mate? Hey, decant.

962
01:23:48,780 --> 01:23:50,940
It seems you're my superiors, actually.

963
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:55,320
Take up an axe and help us with this
tree.

964
01:23:56,060 --> 01:23:57,060
Gladly.

965
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,680
What seems to be the delay?

966
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:07,360
I'm sorry, Colonel.

967
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:09,340
There's no damn road.

968
01:24:10,740 --> 01:24:11,740
That's the delay.

969
01:24:13,540 --> 01:24:15,440
Washington, these are your friends.

970
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:17,560
Why do they not wear the king's red?

971
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:18,880
Or at least try?

972
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,960
You stole our last uniforms.

973
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:23,160
Baby bastards.

974
01:24:23,820 --> 01:24:28,640
The indigo grows wild around here. We
use it for blue dye.

975
01:24:28,900 --> 01:24:30,140
That's the color of Virginia.

976
01:24:30,500 --> 01:24:31,500
You boys go ahead.

977
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,380
Wear all them pretty colors and get shot
first.

978
01:24:34,700 --> 01:24:36,880
I'll blend into the woods and die an old
man.

979
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:45,940
What happened with your grandson?

980
01:24:47,860 --> 01:24:48,860
Royal commission?

981
01:24:50,060 --> 01:24:51,240
Little rich girl?

982
01:24:52,350 --> 01:24:54,190
I buried those plans when I buried
Christopher.

983
01:25:03,370 --> 01:25:04,370
Why'd you come back?

984
01:25:05,330 --> 01:25:06,430
Came back to apologize.

985
01:25:08,230 --> 01:25:09,530
My ambition was selfish.

986
01:25:10,430 --> 01:25:12,390
I owe a debt to every single one of you.

987
01:25:13,210 --> 01:25:20,090
A debt I cannot repay, but... When the
time comes for battle, I'll be

988
01:25:20,090 --> 01:25:21,090
there.

989
01:25:21,710 --> 01:25:27,490
Fighting beside you Words for me

990
01:25:27,490 --> 01:25:31,470
When

991
01:25:31,470 --> 01:25:47,630
you

992
01:25:47,630 --> 01:25:48,630
place a wager George

993
01:25:53,070 --> 01:25:55,530
How about you, uh, how about you pay
some for me?

994
01:25:59,830 --> 01:26:01,050
You sure you're all right?

995
01:26:03,190 --> 01:26:04,790
Yeah. Never better.

996
01:26:08,650 --> 01:26:09,650
Thank you.

997
01:26:09,930 --> 01:26:10,930
Of course.

998
01:26:15,250 --> 01:26:16,250
Excuse me.

999
01:26:19,550 --> 01:26:20,630
Why are y'all here?

1000
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:23,000
We were sent.

1001
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,040
By who?

1002
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,840
The Fairfaxes. You'll fight for nobles?

1003
01:26:27,180 --> 01:26:28,400
I'll be fighting their stead.

1004
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:40,280
Is that a piano?

1005
01:26:43,700 --> 01:26:44,700
Pridex.

1006
01:26:45,220 --> 01:26:46,500
Halted all the way from Alexandria.

1007
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:48,799
I'm sorry.

1008
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,040
We're cutting the road.

1009
01:26:50,590 --> 01:26:54,170
all the way through the Ohio Territory
for a piano?

1010
01:26:59,250 --> 01:27:00,450
God help us.

1011
01:27:01,210 --> 01:27:03,430
One, two, three!

1012
01:27:06,670 --> 01:27:12,250
Keep going, Henry!

1013
01:27:12,570 --> 01:27:14,590
I'm doing it! On the count of three.

1014
01:27:15,750 --> 01:27:17,430
You sure you're right?

1015
01:27:18,050 --> 01:27:19,050
I bet.

1016
01:27:19,530 --> 01:27:20,530
I'm fine, I'm fine.

1017
01:27:21,150 --> 01:27:23,310
We're nearly there. I equate Mr.

1018
01:27:23,590 --> 01:27:28,350
Hunter that his majesty's service
requires the further sum of 10,000

1019
01:27:28,350 --> 01:27:29,710
pounds sterling.

1020
01:27:30,450 --> 01:27:36,630
How else are we to deal with the lack of
roads in a wilderness that is proving

1021
01:27:36,630 --> 01:27:39,570
formidable? Did you get that?

1022
01:27:39,910 --> 01:27:42,290
Yes, Your Excellency. Now, where was I?

1023
01:27:44,390 --> 01:27:48,110
The siege had been the longest and the
bloodiest of the wars.

1024
01:27:48,570 --> 01:27:50,590
Washington? Oh, man, you're pale as a
ghost.

1025
01:27:54,270 --> 01:27:55,270
Washington.

1026
01:27:56,290 --> 01:27:57,290
Washington!

1027
01:27:57,630 --> 01:27:58,630
Deliver the dispatch!

1028
01:27:59,270 --> 01:28:02,770
Sorry, Your Excellency, I was... I was
lost in your story.

1029
01:28:11,210 --> 01:28:12,210
Yes, yes!

1030
01:28:13,490 --> 01:28:18,790
How is he?

1031
01:28:23,179 --> 01:28:25,480
Dysentery. His case is very severe.

1032
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:28,240
High fever, terrible nightmares.

1033
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:30,060
He calls out names.

1034
01:28:30,420 --> 01:28:31,420
How long will he be dead?

1035
01:28:32,340 --> 01:28:34,280
Days. A week.

1036
01:28:35,900 --> 01:28:36,900
Forever.

1037
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:38,240
Forever?

1038
01:28:38,660 --> 01:28:39,960
He'll survive, won't he?

1039
01:28:48,660 --> 01:28:49,660
Washington.

1040
01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:54,100
You're awake.

1041
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:55,880
Where are we?

1042
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,280
Five miles south of the river, past the
Great Meadows, where you fought.

1043
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,240
No necessity.

1044
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,440
I've been tasked with the command of a
flying column and 900 men.

1045
01:29:05,480 --> 01:29:09,100
We cross the Monongahela River tomorrow.
The next day we reach Fort Duquesne.

1046
01:29:10,860 --> 01:29:11,880
You should rest.

1047
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,940
Look to the trees.

1048
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:23,870
This is a new world. Treat it that way.

1049
01:29:24,970 --> 01:29:26,410
Do you not think me up to the task?

1050
01:29:26,830 --> 01:29:27,830
You weren't there.

1051
01:29:29,510 --> 01:29:30,830
I question their strategy.

1052
01:29:31,750 --> 01:29:32,750
About the North.

1053
01:29:33,490 --> 01:29:34,630
Gage, look to the trees.

1054
01:29:36,730 --> 01:29:38,770
I've been preparing for this all my
life, George.

1055
01:29:44,790 --> 01:29:45,790
Courage, man.

1056
01:30:06,590 --> 01:30:07,590
I'll do it, Vance.

1057
01:30:20,150 --> 01:30:21,150
Vance to column.

1058
01:31:33,130 --> 01:31:36,470
Number one section, number two section,
in line formation.

1059
01:31:37,230 --> 01:31:40,470
Number one section, present fire.

1060
01:31:44,070 --> 01:31:47,310
Number two section, present fire.

1061
01:31:48,810 --> 01:31:52,150
Number one section, number two section,
to my rear.

1062
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,120
So where? Over the hill!

1063
01:33:41,900 --> 01:33:42,940
I wouldn't bother Washington.

1064
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:44,800
The battle's lost.

1065
01:33:46,420 --> 01:33:47,420
What is it, General?

1066
01:33:47,480 --> 01:33:48,480
Ordered a full retreat.

1067
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:49,840
And my men?

1068
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:51,640
You have no men. The Virginians.

1069
01:33:52,940 --> 01:33:54,040
They were at the front of the line.

1070
01:33:54,820 --> 01:33:56,080
It's nearly four miles from here.

1071
01:33:57,480 --> 01:33:59,680
If you go that way, you will die.

1072
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:01,680
You look like death already.

1073
01:34:02,820 --> 01:34:03,820
Listen to me.

1074
01:34:06,220 --> 01:34:08,640
You'll never find them, and even if you
did, you'd never make it back.

1075
01:34:11,440 --> 01:34:12,440
Washington.

1076
01:34:13,020 --> 01:34:14,020
Washington!

1077
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:15,840
Come, Frank.

1078
01:34:16,900 --> 01:34:18,420
What could be worth the risk?

1079
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,040
My men.

1080
01:35:14,540 --> 01:35:15,840
Number two section, six.

1081
01:35:50,090 --> 01:35:51,029
Where is the general?

1082
01:35:51,030 --> 01:35:52,370
Get over here!

1083
01:35:53,050 --> 01:35:54,050
Get over here!

1084
01:35:56,790 --> 01:35:58,690
General. General.

1085
01:36:01,950 --> 01:36:02,950
Washington.

1086
01:36:03,630 --> 01:36:04,630
Sir.

1087
01:36:05,390 --> 01:36:06,630
You ordered a retreat.

1088
01:36:07,010 --> 01:36:09,910
I ordered no retreat.

1089
01:36:13,330 --> 01:36:16,230
Rally the men and fall back.

1090
01:36:18,310 --> 01:36:22,120
Where... Wear this. They'll know it's
mine.

1091
01:36:26,420 --> 01:36:27,740
Take my horse.

1092
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,740
And take as many as you can.

1093
01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:35,680
Yes, sir.

1094
01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:38,300
I won't let you down.

1095
01:37:09,660 --> 01:37:11,660
Retreat! Hold fast!

1096
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:16,160
Forward!

1097
01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:19,480
On me!

1098
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:21,300
George!

1099
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:23,980
The advance ends here!

1100
01:37:24,620 --> 01:37:27,200
We will hold this line! Fire and move!

1101
01:37:28,500 --> 01:37:29,840
Find cover in the trees!

1102
01:37:30,060 --> 01:37:31,060
Fire from the trees!

1103
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:32,960
Spread out! Spread out!

1104
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,580
Then this is our land and we will fight
for it!

1105
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:38,120
Independent fire!

1106
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:39,960
Independent file!

1107
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:43,100
George! Tucker!

1108
01:37:43,940 --> 01:37:46,380
Where are the others? Where's David?
Where's Henry?

1109
01:37:46,620 --> 01:37:47,599
By the river.

1110
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:48,980
Surrounded. Still alive.

1111
01:37:50,100 --> 01:37:53,660
I'm going to try to reach them. Tucker,
rally as many as you can and move to the

1112
01:37:53,660 --> 01:37:54,700
river. Wait for my signal.

1113
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:56,400
I won't let you down, sir.

1114
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:58,000
I'm no officer.

1115
01:37:58,180 --> 01:37:59,680
You're the only leader on this field.

1116
01:38:00,300 --> 01:38:01,300
Buy me some time.

1117
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:07,260
You there! You! You and you! Follow me!
We'll get to the river! On my command!

1118
01:38:28,270 --> 01:38:29,270
Rich, guns!

1119
01:38:31,490 --> 01:38:35,230
No, no, no, no, Sam, stay with me, son.
Rich left us here to die.

1120
01:38:35,610 --> 01:38:37,010
Yeah, you sound surprised.

1121
01:38:38,250 --> 01:38:39,250
Son.

1122
01:38:42,410 --> 01:38:43,890
How many rounds left?

1123
01:38:44,270 --> 01:38:46,110
A gun doesn't even work, Henry.

1124
01:38:48,050 --> 01:38:50,310
Check for powder.

1125
01:38:55,950 --> 01:38:57,270
Henry, look.

1126
01:38:58,160 --> 01:38:59,160
Who's that?

1127
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:02,840
Shut up!

1128
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:05,760
It's Washington.

1129
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:07,260
Man's a damn fool.

1130
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:41,160
They're flying to you from the right
side. What do we do?

1131
01:39:41,480 --> 01:39:43,320
We fight. We're all out of powder.

1132
01:39:44,620 --> 01:39:46,540
Has anybody got powder?

1133
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,220
Who has powder? I got it.

1134
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:53,040
Let's make them pay.

1135
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:55,300
Reload every weapon you can find.

1136
01:39:55,740 --> 01:39:57,420
Red and Virginia, reload your weapons.

1137
01:39:57,780 --> 01:39:59,060
To the right, follow me.

1138
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:01,780
Keep that powder on you and keep it dry.

1139
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,080
Let's go. Let's go. Let's give them
hell.

1140
01:40:05,420 --> 01:40:06,960
Keep your head down, Henry.

1141
01:40:08,810 --> 01:40:10,370
Take cover along the berth!

1142
01:40:12,010 --> 01:40:14,150
Get your heads down! Come on!

1143
01:40:22,050 --> 01:40:23,130
Realize your muskets!

1144
01:40:39,210 --> 01:40:40,210
Second rank!

1145
01:40:40,430 --> 01:40:41,430
Again!

1146
01:40:43,270 --> 01:40:44,270
Make ready!

1147
01:40:44,810 --> 01:40:46,150
Present arms!

1148
01:40:46,990 --> 01:40:47,990
Fire!

1149
01:40:51,590 --> 01:40:55,150
On my signal, take the men as fast as
you can to the right!

1150
01:41:16,300 --> 01:41:17,520
He's making himself target.

1151
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,900
It's independent fun!

1152
01:42:48,440 --> 01:42:50,660
Only tend to the ones who you can see
breathing

1153
01:43:47,639 --> 01:43:48,760
What's wrong, sir?

1154
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:51,340
Seen a ghost?

1155
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:05,240
There was no order. What?

1156
01:44:05,540 --> 01:44:06,540
It's your treat.

1157
01:44:12,620 --> 01:44:13,780
That all was lost, George.

1158
01:44:15,380 --> 01:44:17,340
I see no point in joining him in the
grave.

1159
01:44:19,740 --> 01:44:21,040
Whose land is this, anyway?

1160
01:44:22,820 --> 01:44:23,820
It's our land.

1161
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,120
Well, my land is an ocean away.

1162
01:44:34,460 --> 01:44:36,300
See, that is the difference between us.

1163
01:44:45,610 --> 01:44:46,589
You're right.

1164
01:44:46,590 --> 01:44:47,590
How are the others?

1165
01:44:48,630 --> 01:44:49,690
Lost a lot of men.

1166
01:44:49,990 --> 01:44:50,990
How many?

1167
01:44:52,250 --> 01:44:53,250
Hundred.

1168
01:44:59,550 --> 01:45:04,990
Thank you

1169
01:45:04,990 --> 01:45:08,570
for coming back for us.

1170
01:45:15,110 --> 01:45:16,110
Major Washington?

1171
01:45:16,970 --> 01:45:18,210
The half-king.

1172
01:45:37,810 --> 01:45:44,270
So now you fight for the French.

1173
01:45:45,440 --> 01:45:47,580
No longer fight wars that are not my
home.

1174
01:45:48,380 --> 01:45:49,380
And why are you here?

1175
01:45:50,580 --> 01:45:51,580
To find you.

1176
01:45:53,420 --> 01:45:54,420
Follow me.

1177
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:08,440
He wants to know who you are.

1178
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:11,840
Why?

1179
01:46:20,420 --> 01:46:23,740
I ordered my warriors to shoot you.

1180
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:25,120
All of them.

1181
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:28,120
We men never miss.

1182
01:46:32,620 --> 01:46:33,760
Our people.

1183
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:48,920
I have a legend, a spirit of protection
that shields those chosen, those who

1184
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:49,920
walk in destiny.

1185
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:55,560
The Creator chose you.

1186
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:57,960
You have been shielded by this spirit.

1187
01:47:01,580 --> 01:47:04,000
So ask again, what are you called?

1188
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:08,920
My name is George Washington.

1189
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,460
I will remember this name.

1190
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:23,640
Are those bullet holes in your jacket?

1191
01:47:24,440 --> 01:47:28,060
Apologies, sir. This is the only uniform
I own. You misunderstand my statement.

1192
01:47:28,300 --> 01:47:29,300
And your hat?

1193
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:31,460
Yes, it's the only one I own as well.

1194
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:35,720
The militia is in general... It also has
a bullet hole in it?

1195
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:40,040
How are you alive?

1196
01:47:42,380 --> 01:47:43,940
A divine hand, perhaps.

1197
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:46,420
Perhaps. That says maybe.

1198
01:47:47,480 --> 01:47:51,260
But you are the man of the hour. That is
certain.

1199
01:47:51,820 --> 01:47:55,080
Your journals to the council, they've
been published and have made you quite

1200
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:59,400
well known. They've even awakened London
to the situation our colonies now face.

1201
01:47:59,480 --> 01:48:04,700
The way you describe the frontier has
sparked the imagination of many.

1202
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:10,420
And to your recent actions.

1203
01:48:12,799 --> 01:48:18,060
Mr. Washington's exemplary courage was
on full display as he evaded many

1204
01:48:18,060 --> 01:48:22,520
attacks on his person while he fouled
Indian and French enemies alike.

1205
01:48:22,740 --> 01:48:27,820
He also selflessly rescued hundreds of
his men during a most impressive

1206
01:48:27,820 --> 01:48:32,040
retreat, during which he continued to
battle the enemy with fervor, despite

1207
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:33,080
his infirm condition.

1208
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:38,440
Well, we were defeated, sir. 450 lives
lost, another 500 wounded.

1209
01:48:38,780 --> 01:48:39,780
But you won.

1210
01:48:40,490 --> 01:48:41,870
Because you endured.

1211
01:48:43,130 --> 01:48:47,030
For most, failure is the end. For you,
it seems only to be the beginning.

1212
01:48:48,030 --> 01:48:54,670
And since leadership is the problem, I'm
going to give you the

1213
01:48:54,670 --> 01:48:55,870
opportunity to answer.

1214
01:48:57,330 --> 01:48:58,670
The second chance.

1215
01:49:00,930 --> 01:49:05,270
We're forming a Virginia regiment, 1,500
men, first of its kind in the colonies.

1216
01:49:05,370 --> 01:49:06,370
I want you to lead it.

1217
01:49:06,430 --> 01:49:08,650
I'm reinstating your rank as colonel.

1218
01:49:08,990 --> 01:49:12,430
in the Virginia Regiment and
Commander-in-Chief of all forces raised

1219
01:49:12,430 --> 01:49:13,970
in defense of His Majesty's colony.

1220
01:49:15,430 --> 01:49:18,970
Do you accept this great honor?

1221
01:49:21,590 --> 01:49:22,590
Yes, sir.

1222
01:49:23,110 --> 01:49:24,110
I do.

1223
01:49:24,130 --> 01:49:28,830
Well then, I have much to discuss. I
have but one request.

1224
01:49:29,830 --> 01:49:33,770
Washington, if you ask for equal pay or
a royal credit... No, sir.

1225
01:49:35,810 --> 01:49:37,810
I would like to discuss the uniform.

1226
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:09,700
Welcome up, Colonel Washington!

1227
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:16,320
I am not a British officer.

1228
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:21,640
And I am not a gentleman of England.

1229
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,740
I have no title, no royal commission.

1230
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:32,400
But what I do have is you.

1231
01:50:34,580 --> 01:50:35,580
All of you.

1232
01:50:38,860 --> 01:50:39,860
I am a Virginian.

1233
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:44,940
And it is my honor to serve you.

1234
01:50:45,980 --> 01:50:47,360
To Virginia!

1235
01:50:49,980 --> 01:50:52,940
To Virginia.
