1
00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:03,748
I believe there are monsters
born in this world to human parents.
2
00:01:09,124 --> 00:01:12,458
A monster is a variation
from the accepted normal
3
00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:15,207
to a greater or less degree.
4
00:01:19,874 --> 00:01:23,458
But evil is not always apparent
at first glance.
5
00:01:29,374 --> 00:01:31,041
It can come cloaked
6
00:01:31,833 --> 00:01:35,957
in beauty or goodness or power...
7
00:01:37,666 --> 00:01:38,916
or love.
8
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:49,707
It is at the heart of our oldest stories.
9
00:01:52,208 --> 00:01:54,874
The sinful woman who eats from the tree.
10
00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:59,415
- Oh God.
- The jealous boy who kills his brother.
11
00:01:59,416 --> 00:02:00,249
Hey.
12
00:02:09,874 --> 00:02:12,249
Help me lift her
so we don't disturb her wounds.
13
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:16,166
Charles.
14
00:02:17,166 --> 00:02:18,916
Charles!
15
00:02:25,291 --> 00:02:27,583
There are all kinds of monsters.
16
00:02:30,791 --> 00:02:34,749
Some move undetected
through the world all their lives.
17
00:02:36,541 --> 00:02:39,374
A child may be born perfect of body
18
00:02:40,166 --> 00:02:44,290
but without kindness
or the potential of conscience.
19
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:48,999
Still, you must not forget,
20
00:02:49,999 --> 00:02:52,083
everyone is normal to himself.
21
00:02:53,083 --> 00:02:54,749
And to a monster,
22
00:02:55,916 --> 00:02:58,291
the norm must seem
23
00:03:00,166 --> 00:03:01,541
monstrous.
24
00:03:02,416 --> 00:03:03,249
Adam.
25
00:03:05,291 --> 00:03:06,373
We need the sheriff.
26
00:03:06,374 --> 00:03:09,791
- Just get the doctor first.
- Adam, this is a mistake.
27
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:40,208
Adam's mother died
when he was only a baby.
28
00:03:40,999 --> 00:03:43,499
Drowned herself in a puddle of rainwater.
29
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,916
Within a year,
his father found another wife,
30
00:03:48,499 --> 00:03:50,083
had another son.
31
00:03:50,583 --> 00:03:51,583
Charles.
32
00:03:54,458 --> 00:03:56,624
{\an8}And if either boy received love,
33
00:03:57,583 --> 00:03:59,040
{\an8}it was from his brother.
34
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:02,748
At least that's what Adam told me.
35
00:04:04,541 --> 00:04:07,957
The drum, the drum, the distant drum!
36
00:04:07,958 --> 00:04:11,790
The foe, the foe, they come, they come!
37
00:04:11,791 --> 00:04:16,040
The soldiers awake, awake to glory!
38
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:20,457
With falchions red and bayonets gory!
39
00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:24,624
Don't just stand there admiring it.
Reload!
40
00:04:26,083 --> 00:04:27,249
Faster.
41
00:04:28,624 --> 00:04:30,124
You don't have this much time.
42
00:04:31,208 --> 00:04:34,041
Adam, you have to go faster. Faster.
43
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:35,749
Charles!
44
00:04:37,291 --> 00:04:38,541
Pick up the gun!
45
00:04:39,624 --> 00:04:40,458
Reload!
46
00:04:41,083 --> 00:04:43,666
A soldier never puts down his weapon.
47
00:04:44,416 --> 00:04:46,958
Cover first, then assist.
48
00:04:47,499 --> 00:04:49,873
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
49
00:05:04,041 --> 00:05:04,957
Adam.
50
00:05:04,958 --> 00:05:05,916
Sir.
51
00:05:07,083 --> 00:05:09,916
Are you capable of loading
your own weapon?
52
00:05:10,791 --> 00:05:12,083
I am, sir.
53
00:05:46,249 --> 00:05:48,416
My mother says the training
is for our own good.
54
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:52,499
We're fortunate being brought up
by a hero of the Civil War.
55
00:05:54,291 --> 00:05:56,708
Father will make us into great soldiers.
56
00:05:59,041 --> 00:06:01,916
I'll never be the soldier
you will be, Charles.
57
00:06:06,416 --> 00:06:07,583
Perhaps.
58
00:06:11,874 --> 00:06:12,958
But you can try.
59
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:15,708
Faster.
60
00:06:17,458 --> 00:06:20,166
Don't have enough time. Faster.
61
00:06:44,249 --> 00:06:45,166
Shh.
62
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:48,998
And who might this be?
63
00:06:48,999 --> 00:06:49,833
General Lee.
64
00:06:52,166 --> 00:06:53,415
You can teach him to heel.
65
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:59,415
Did that already, didn't we?
66
00:06:59,416 --> 00:07:00,749
Happy birthday, sir.
67
00:07:02,374 --> 00:07:04,583
I believe Charles has
a gift for you as well.
68
00:07:05,083 --> 00:07:06,208
Don't you, Charles?
69
00:07:11,499 --> 00:07:13,708
I saw you needed
a new knife, sir.
70
00:07:18,583 --> 00:07:20,291
I earned the money chopping wood.
71
00:07:22,124 --> 00:07:23,207
Thank you, Charles.
72
00:07:24,916 --> 00:07:25,749
Oh.
73
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:30,124
What do you think of that, General Lee?
74
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:40,916
Father wasn't expecting
something so costly.
75
00:07:42,916 --> 00:07:44,041
That's all.
76
00:07:44,833 --> 00:07:46,666
He didn't look at it twice.
77
00:07:48,958 --> 00:07:50,916
And he took your pup to bed with him.
78
00:07:55,999 --> 00:07:57,124
How did you know?
79
00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:01,249
How did you know what Father would like?
80
00:08:02,791 --> 00:08:04,749
I didn't. I swear.
81
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:11,541
Charles?
82
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:13,208
Put out the light.
83
00:08:14,958 --> 00:08:15,916
Put it out.
84
00:08:40,708 --> 00:08:42,249
You're shooting to miss.
85
00:08:42,916 --> 00:08:43,749
Adam.
86
00:08:44,374 --> 00:08:45,833
Not at all.
87
00:08:47,749 --> 00:08:50,749
You can hit a target in practice,
but you can't hit a deer?
88
00:08:53,583 --> 00:08:57,165
If I wasn't around, what would you do?
Swallow your distaste or starve?
89
00:08:57,166 --> 00:09:00,582
- Oh, planning on going somewhere?
- Soon as the army will take me.
90
00:09:00,583 --> 00:09:04,291
If I could hold Father off a year,
we could enlist together.
91
00:09:05,249 --> 00:09:07,207
I think I could face it
with you by my side.
92
00:09:07,208 --> 00:09:09,915
How will you shoot at men
when you won't even kill for our supper?
93
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:13,208
I'll volunteer for detail,
or I'll assist medical.
94
00:09:21,791 --> 00:09:23,832
Mother.
95
00:09:25,458 --> 00:09:28,248
- Adam shot us a rabbit.
- Hey, don't lie.
96
00:09:28,249 --> 00:09:29,998
- It was Charles, of course.
- Quiet.
97
00:09:29,999 --> 00:09:32,333
Your father has a visitor from the GAR.
98
00:09:32,916 --> 00:09:36,540
Just before dawn,
he drew up a new plan.
99
00:09:36,541 --> 00:09:39,082
Buford would defend to the west.
100
00:09:39,083 --> 00:09:41,457
I delivered the orders myself.
101
00:09:41,458 --> 00:09:43,124
Two days later,
102
00:09:44,666 --> 00:09:46,624
we had victory at Gettysburg.
103
00:09:47,499 --> 00:09:51,583
Wow. And I'd heard Buford
had acted on his own.
104
00:09:52,083 --> 00:09:56,415
Small men like me play our part.
105
00:09:56,416 --> 00:10:00,707
Not to be remembered
but to turn the tides toward good.
106
00:10:00,708 --> 00:10:05,290
I must say, Mr. Trask, your work
with our veterans has been impressive.
107
00:10:05,291 --> 00:10:07,790
Washington will be grateful
for your spirit of service.
108
00:10:07,791 --> 00:10:08,624
Hm.
109
00:10:09,499 --> 00:10:12,041
Will the boys and I be accompanying you
to Washington, sirs?
110
00:10:12,874 --> 00:10:13,708
No.
111
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:17,833
My time there
will be taken up with business.
112
00:10:20,999 --> 00:10:24,708
Do you intend for your boys
to soldier like their father?
113
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:30,416
When Adam finishes school next month,
I will enlist him in the cavalry.
114
00:10:32,166 --> 00:10:33,666
And Charles...
115
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:40,082
Charles will remain here
on the farm to look after the place.
116
00:10:44,083 --> 00:10:46,540
My business has left me
with little time for farming,
117
00:10:46,541 --> 00:10:51,040
but my family's tilled
this land for six generations.
118
00:10:51,041 --> 00:10:52,916
One hates to see it left fallow.
119
00:11:13,583 --> 00:11:14,998
You know what this is?
120
00:11:22,958 --> 00:11:26,416
It's the bullet they gave you to bite
while they cut off your leg.
121
00:11:29,499 --> 00:11:32,374
It's a pity
there's no great war for you to join.
122
00:11:32,874 --> 00:11:36,957
But these Indian campaigns will give you
ample opportunity to prove yourself.
123
00:11:36,958 --> 00:11:39,665
Why not send Charles instead?
124
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:42,290
Father, anybody can see
he'd be a greater soldier,
125
00:11:42,291 --> 00:11:43,624
and it's what he wants.
126
00:11:44,583 --> 00:11:48,082
To put Charles in an army
would be to loose things
127
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:50,416
which in him must be chained down.
128
00:11:51,124 --> 00:11:52,583
Why do you favor him?
129
00:11:54,249 --> 00:11:56,582
Because you don't punish him
how you do me.
130
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:59,291
- Now you let him stay out of the army...
- Adam.
131
00:12:01,166 --> 00:12:02,458
Don't you see?
132
00:12:04,749 --> 00:12:05,874
I love you better.
133
00:12:09,249 --> 00:12:10,624
I always have.
134
00:12:13,374 --> 00:12:15,791
I love you better.
135
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:22,166
Why else would I have given myself
the trouble of hurting you?
136
00:12:38,249 --> 00:12:39,083
Charles.
137
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:44,999
Brother.
138
00:12:46,041 --> 00:12:46,874
Wait.
139
00:13:00,458 --> 00:13:01,666
You should turn back.
140
00:13:28,583 --> 00:13:29,666
Now do him.
141
00:13:31,041 --> 00:13:33,540
Give me a minute, Charlie.
142
00:13:33,541 --> 00:13:35,582
Gotta get myself cleaned up first,
don't I?
143
00:13:35,583 --> 00:13:37,332
Bring me another whiskey
while you're at it.
144
00:13:37,333 --> 00:13:40,583
Spending all our money today?
145
00:13:44,666 --> 00:13:47,458
Adam, have you ever had a woman?
146
00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:54,291
My half brother here hasn't experienced
womanly love of any kind.
147
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:58,041
Never even had a proper mother.
148
00:14:00,374 --> 00:14:02,790
Go on and get yourself
undressed, sweetheart.
149
00:14:02,791 --> 00:14:03,916
I won't be a minute.
150
00:14:07,291 --> 00:14:10,207
She's one of the best I've had.
151
00:14:10,208 --> 00:14:12,041
- I wouldn't treat you to less.
- Hm.
152
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:18,999
What did Father say to you before,
when you were alone?
153
00:14:19,999 --> 00:14:20,833
Nothing.
154
00:14:21,916 --> 00:14:25,041
I saw him talking to you,
the way he talks to men.
155
00:14:26,458 --> 00:14:29,624
- What was he saying?
- Just more war stories.
156
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:37,458
Do you know what I think?
157
00:14:41,999 --> 00:14:43,833
I think you're a goddamn liar.
158
00:14:49,624 --> 00:14:51,083
How long have you known?
159
00:14:54,041 --> 00:14:55,041
Known what?
160
00:14:56,916 --> 00:14:58,624
That he would retain me here,
161
00:14:59,541 --> 00:15:01,374
to keep house
162
00:15:03,041 --> 00:15:04,083
like a woman.
163
00:15:09,374 --> 00:15:11,249
How'd you get him to agree to that?
164
00:15:13,666 --> 00:15:15,333
I knew no more than you did.
165
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:19,833
You won't last a week in the army.
166
00:15:20,624 --> 00:15:23,541
- They'll send you home in pieces.
- I know.
167
00:15:24,749 --> 00:15:26,499
Father sends me off to die.
168
00:15:27,083 --> 00:15:28,166
Which, to him,
169
00:15:29,249 --> 00:15:31,624
is the greatest honor. But me,
170
00:15:32,499 --> 00:15:35,499
who's more deserving, he casts aside.
171
00:15:36,791 --> 00:15:38,708
You're taking him away from me.
172
00:15:39,708 --> 00:15:42,666
- I don't know how. How are you doing it?!
- Charles.
173
00:15:45,291 --> 00:15:46,791
I haven't done anything.
174
00:15:47,374 --> 00:15:49,041
I do every... everything
175
00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:52,583
to make him give me any scrap of love.
I'm...
176
00:15:53,916 --> 00:15:55,207
I'm worse than a woman.
177
00:15:55,208 --> 00:15:57,166
I'm a fool.
178
00:15:59,999 --> 00:16:00,833
Hey.
179
00:16:01,499 --> 00:16:03,749
I know. I know.
180
00:16:13,624 --> 00:16:15,582
Charles. Charles.
181
00:16:15,583 --> 00:16:17,333
Charles, stop. Stop.
182
00:16:42,124 --> 00:16:42,999
Stop!
183
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:31,833
That everything?
184
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,249
This'll be easy.
185
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:06,498
Troop A! Mount and ride!
186
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:27,416
Well? What'd you see? How many were there?
187
00:19:31,749 --> 00:19:32,749
There's not many.
188
00:19:33,749 --> 00:19:34,998
There's only a few horses.
189
00:19:37,458 --> 00:19:38,998
Troop C! Mount up!
190
00:19:43,416 --> 00:19:44,957
The rest, mount up!
191
00:20:11,499 --> 00:20:12,708
He'll see you now.
192
00:20:27,874 --> 00:20:28,708
Adam.
193
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:40,041
Hewes. This is my son.
194
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:45,248
He's just finished
five years in the cavalry.
195
00:20:45,249 --> 00:20:47,083
A private soldier, as I was.
196
00:20:47,958 --> 00:20:50,123
I was discharged a corporal, sir.
197
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:52,040
Bring a bottle of whiskey, Hewes.
198
00:20:52,041 --> 00:20:53,998
Shall I send for chipped ice?
199
00:20:53,999 --> 00:20:55,041
Ice?
200
00:20:56,124 --> 00:20:59,083
My son is a soldier. I was a soldier.
201
00:20:59,583 --> 00:21:01,374
What do we want ice for?
202
00:21:03,708 --> 00:21:07,623
Some men find it a struggle
to return to civilian life.
203
00:21:08,583 --> 00:21:09,833
Not to worry.
204
00:21:10,624 --> 00:21:12,791
I'll get you assigned to Washington.
205
00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:18,291
There's no limit to the heights
a young man like you might reach.
206
00:21:19,124 --> 00:21:21,707
I don't have any experience
in government, sir.
207
00:21:21,708 --> 00:21:25,540
You had none as soldier either.
You were decorated, weren't you?
208
00:21:25,541 --> 00:21:26,582
Three times, sir.
209
00:21:26,583 --> 00:21:27,708
See?
210
00:21:28,291 --> 00:21:30,290
You should consider yourself fortunate
211
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:33,958
to have a father who's able
to pave the path for you.
212
00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:35,999
And Charles?
213
00:21:36,833 --> 00:21:38,707
Charles. What about Charles?
214
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:41,833
I thought he might like to join you
here in Washington as well.
215
00:21:42,416 --> 00:21:46,624
You know, while you were out soldiering,
Charles has turned that farm to profit.
216
00:21:47,916 --> 00:21:49,999
He hardly requires your pity.
217
00:21:52,749 --> 00:21:54,874
It's not pity I feel for Charles.
218
00:22:00,499 --> 00:22:03,457
I have business to attend to.
219
00:22:03,458 --> 00:22:06,457
Hewes will direct you to my hotel.
220
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:08,749
They're expecting us there for dinner.
221
00:22:09,374 --> 00:22:12,457
- I won't be spending the night, sir.
- Of course you will.
222
00:22:12,458 --> 00:22:15,958
I'm taking the evening train
to report to my regiment in the morning.
223
00:22:19,583 --> 00:22:21,457
You haven't reenlisted?
224
00:22:21,458 --> 00:22:22,333
I have.
225
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:24,958
Five more years?
226
00:22:28,499 --> 00:22:30,124
But you don't like the army.
227
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:31,999
No, sir.
228
00:22:34,791 --> 00:22:36,458
Are you defying me?
229
00:22:38,041 --> 00:22:39,083
Yes, sir.
230
00:22:48,541 --> 00:22:52,166
I wonder if you realize
just how much influence I have.
231
00:22:52,666 --> 00:22:56,123
I can have senators defeated
and pick appointments...
232
00:22:57,041 --> 00:22:58,458
like apples.
233
00:23:00,083 --> 00:23:01,791
I can make men
234
00:23:02,791 --> 00:23:04,498
and destroy men.
235
00:23:04,499 --> 00:23:05,874
Yes, sir.
236
00:23:08,666 --> 00:23:10,916
Is that all you've learned?!
237
00:23:11,624 --> 00:23:14,083
The dumb resistance of a soldier?
238
00:23:20,874 --> 00:23:22,833
Report back to your regiment.
239
00:23:25,124 --> 00:23:27,041
You'll rot in the barracks.
240
00:24:06,666 --> 00:24:08,666
"So we do not lose heart."
241
00:24:09,791 --> 00:24:12,373
"Though our outer self is wasting away,
242
00:24:12,374 --> 00:24:14,833
our inner self
is being renewed day by day."
243
00:24:17,291 --> 00:24:21,623
{\an8}"For this light, momentary affliction
is preparing for us
244
00:24:21,624 --> 00:24:24,791
{\an8}an eternal weight of glory
beyond all comparison."
245
00:24:26,374 --> 00:24:30,498
"As we look not
to the things that are seen
246
00:24:30,499 --> 00:24:32,541
but to the things that are unseen."
247
00:24:33,624 --> 00:24:35,791
"For the things
that are seen are transient,
248
00:24:36,541 --> 00:24:40,083
but the things
that are unseen are eternal."
249
00:24:42,499 --> 00:24:43,374
Amen.
250
00:25:26,874 --> 00:25:29,208
Now that your mother is gone,
what will you do?
251
00:25:30,333 --> 00:25:33,249
- Continue farming?
- What else?
252
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:40,958
I thought perhaps you'd like
to return with me to Washington.
253
00:25:43,624 --> 00:25:46,583
Your brother once mentioned
you might like to join me there.
254
00:25:51,374 --> 00:25:52,791
Adam said that?
255
00:26:01,416 --> 00:26:03,124
Surely the time for that is past.
256
00:26:13,291 --> 00:26:16,333
If you're going be alone here,
you'll have to learn to cook.
257
00:26:17,458 --> 00:26:18,749
Or take a wife.
258
00:26:20,416 --> 00:26:23,541
That was the choice I faced
after Adam's mother died.
259
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:26,624
Be grateful you don't have
another mouth to feed.
260
00:26:29,249 --> 00:26:33,249
Had to siphon all my whiskey down
that baby's throat just to calm him.
261
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:37,083
He couldn't understand
his mother would never return,
262
00:26:37,624 --> 00:26:39,541
no matter how he cried for her.
263
00:26:41,458 --> 00:26:44,540
I did think that he would maybe show
for the funeral.
264
00:26:45,874 --> 00:26:47,124
How would he know?
265
00:26:50,499 --> 00:26:51,583
Didn't you write him?
266
00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:55,707
Since he was discharged,
I haven't had a word from your brother.
267
00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:57,374
God knows where he might be.
268
00:27:02,999 --> 00:27:05,416
Sharper than a serpent's tooth.
269
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:07,083
It's true.
270
00:27:10,999 --> 00:27:13,208
I offered that boy everything.
271
00:28:02,583 --> 00:28:05,957
Bring the dogs up.
272
00:28:08,124 --> 00:28:11,998
There's a law
against vagrancy in Georgia.
273
00:28:11,999 --> 00:28:15,665
You better come on out!
274
00:28:17,583 --> 00:28:19,790
Check the first two cars.
275
00:28:19,791 --> 00:28:22,540
There they go!
276
00:28:25,208 --> 00:28:26,333
Whoo!
277
00:28:37,708 --> 00:28:40,833
- You were in the campaigns?
- Yeah, they had me in Texas.
278
00:28:41,458 --> 00:28:45,041
I did two stints up north.
279
00:28:45,916 --> 00:28:49,208
- When were you discharged?
- About five years ago.
280
00:28:49,708 --> 00:28:51,833
- It'll be three years for me.
- Hm.
281
00:28:53,624 --> 00:28:54,791
Where you headed now?
282
00:28:55,541 --> 00:28:57,291
A real-life paradise.
283
00:28:58,541 --> 00:29:00,707
I hear things grow so fast in California,
284
00:29:00,708 --> 00:29:03,833
you have to plant and stand back
so you don't get knocked over.
285
00:29:16,291 --> 00:29:17,624
You were a preacher?
286
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:19,958
What happened?
You stopped believing in God?
287
00:29:20,666 --> 00:29:23,208
My congregation stopped believing in me.
288
00:29:24,749 --> 00:29:26,166
What about you, Trask?
289
00:29:26,874 --> 00:29:29,208
You running to something
or from something?
290
00:29:31,708 --> 00:29:33,208
Are those the only options?
291
00:29:34,083 --> 00:29:35,624
Whereabout do you call home?
292
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:37,124
Nowhere.
293
00:29:37,624 --> 00:29:39,624
Come on, everyone's from somewhere.
294
00:29:41,249 --> 00:29:44,791
You can't call a place a home
if you can't go back there.
295
00:29:45,499 --> 00:29:46,624
What happened?
296
00:29:47,874 --> 00:29:49,291
Someone done you wrong?
297
00:29:50,249 --> 00:29:51,791
You done someone wrong?
298
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:54,458
Something like that.
299
00:29:55,541 --> 00:29:56,874
People can change.
300
00:29:57,624 --> 00:29:59,624
Might be worth going back there to see.
301
00:30:03,791 --> 00:30:05,624
Mm. Yeah.
302
00:30:20,416 --> 00:30:21,666
What if...
303
00:30:23,083 --> 00:30:26,791
you could close your eyes and then poof.
304
00:30:27,624 --> 00:30:30,374
You open them again,
and no one can see you.
305
00:30:31,208 --> 00:30:34,874
But you can see everything.
Imagine the places you could sneak.
306
00:30:37,124 --> 00:30:40,416
You could go anywhere,
and no one would know.
307
00:30:41,416 --> 00:30:42,541
Free.
308
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:52,583
Brother Adam,
309
00:30:54,458 --> 00:30:56,873
I'm writing in the hope
that your old regiment
310
00:30:56,874 --> 00:30:59,499
will send this letter on
to wherever you might be.
311
00:31:01,374 --> 00:31:03,458
In the wake of my mother's death,
312
00:31:05,041 --> 00:31:09,208
I find myself alone with thoughts
that I'd rather not be alone with...
313
00:31:12,958 --> 00:31:14,791
like your absence all these years
314
00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:17,374
and why you have not returned.
315
00:31:21,624 --> 00:31:24,374
I fear I am the reason
that you've stayed away.
316
00:31:26,083 --> 00:31:30,248
I assure you,
the anger that I once felt is gone.
317
00:31:34,958 --> 00:31:36,749
All that remains is...
318
00:31:37,666 --> 00:31:38,499
Whoa!
319
00:31:40,458 --> 00:31:41,915
A great aching...
320
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:46,165
a great emptiness.
321
00:32:02,666 --> 00:32:03,958
When I think of you,
322
00:32:05,624 --> 00:32:07,957
it feels like something isn't finished...
323
00:32:09,249 --> 00:32:11,165
like a job left undone.
324
00:32:18,291 --> 00:32:19,124
Oh...
325
00:32:27,541 --> 00:32:30,291
I fear Father
damned us to the wrong fates.
326
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:41,666
I should have been out
wandering the world, and...
327
00:32:44,666 --> 00:32:46,124
you should have been here.
328
00:32:52,166 --> 00:32:53,708
Wherever you are,
329
00:32:54,874 --> 00:32:56,458
if this should reach you,
330
00:32:58,166 --> 00:32:59,374
come home, brother.
331
00:33:01,291 --> 00:33:02,333
Come home.
332
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:39,416
Yeah, well, um...
333
00:34:40,916 --> 00:34:45,541
There's no sense in keeping a place clean
when there's no one here to see it. Yeah.
334
00:34:46,416 --> 00:34:47,791
Besides, the, uh...
335
00:34:49,624 --> 00:34:52,790
The farm's what,
you know, takes up all my time.
336
00:34:52,791 --> 00:34:54,457
I've added 100 acres.
337
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:56,666
And, uh...
338
00:34:58,083 --> 00:35:00,374
put up a curing barn, actually.
339
00:35:01,541 --> 00:35:02,457
Um...
340
00:35:07,208 --> 00:35:08,998
- What happened?
- Hm?
341
00:35:08,999 --> 00:35:12,541
Oh, yeah. Fight with a plow.
342
00:35:13,541 --> 00:35:16,041
Well, it sure marked me
all out of proportion.
343
00:35:17,083 --> 00:35:18,124
Did you, um...
344
00:35:20,291 --> 00:35:21,249
Did you get my letters?
345
00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:26,623
Yeah, I, uh...
346
00:35:28,458 --> 00:35:32,748
I made up so many stories
about, um, where you were
347
00:35:32,749 --> 00:35:35,749
and... what you were doing.
348
00:35:37,916 --> 00:35:40,249
It seems strange.
I guess I could just ask you.
349
00:35:44,166 --> 00:35:47,958
I heard about the campaigns
in the papers, killing Injuns and...
350
00:35:50,249 --> 00:35:52,249
That sounded like a good time.
351
00:35:57,749 --> 00:35:58,833
You know...
352
00:36:01,041 --> 00:36:03,166
they've still got girls above the inn.
353
00:36:03,791 --> 00:36:04,707
Yeah.
354
00:36:04,708 --> 00:36:08,582
I mean, it's a new operation now,
run by a man out of Boston. But, um...
355
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:11,748
Well, he moves the girls through,
you know, fast.
356
00:36:11,749 --> 00:36:13,957
It's a new pair every couple of weeks.
357
00:36:13,958 --> 00:36:15,291
And if, um...
358
00:36:15,958 --> 00:36:19,124
Yeah, well, you're welcome
to come with me if you'd like.
359
00:36:27,083 --> 00:36:30,207
- You're burning that bacon.
- Oh, well...
360
00:36:30,208 --> 00:36:32,166
Uh...
361
00:36:34,499 --> 00:36:35,833
It'll just be crisp.
362
00:36:36,958 --> 00:36:38,749
I like it crisp. Uh...
363
00:36:40,749 --> 00:36:42,333
You know, if, um...
364
00:36:42,958 --> 00:36:46,166
If you're planning on staying...
365
00:36:48,541 --> 00:36:50,582
you're welcome to my mother's old room.
366
00:37:01,958 --> 00:37:04,333
I... I'm sorry to hear about Alice.
367
00:37:05,833 --> 00:37:06,666
Mm.
368
00:37:12,708 --> 00:37:14,124
You never thought about leaving?
369
00:37:14,958 --> 00:37:17,582
What, and start over again
at my age?
370
00:37:18,874 --> 00:37:20,999
Men past our age are headed west.
371
00:37:22,374 --> 00:37:23,208
Yeah.
372
00:37:25,291 --> 00:37:27,791
Yeah, no, I got the farm to take care of.
373
00:37:29,249 --> 00:37:31,833
If Father wants the farm run,
let him do it himself.
374
00:37:36,666 --> 00:37:38,290
- What?
- I'm sorry.
375
00:37:38,291 --> 00:37:40,457
I just thought you must have known.
376
00:37:40,458 --> 00:37:42,458
I mean, it was in the papers.
377
00:37:48,416 --> 00:37:50,083
Adam, our father's dead.
378
00:37:52,999 --> 00:37:54,749
It was galloping pneumonia.
379
00:37:56,666 --> 00:37:59,458
I mean, he went right out.
It was about a month ago.
380
00:38:02,666 --> 00:38:05,958
They had a big funeral for him
up in Washington.
381
00:38:06,624 --> 00:38:08,583
The vice president was there, and...
382
00:38:15,749 --> 00:38:19,416
I have the newspaper clippings
if you'd like to see them.
383
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:23,708
I should've come home sooner.
384
00:38:39,208 --> 00:38:40,707
Yeah, I guess you should've.
385
00:38:43,624 --> 00:38:48,123
You gonna tell me where you've been
all this time, brother, or what?
386
00:38:48,124 --> 00:38:49,957
Oh...
387
00:38:49,958 --> 00:38:52,207
- Can a man eat first?
- Yeah, all right.
388
00:40:41,124 --> 00:40:44,458
So I was thinking maybe
we could saddle up tomorrow.
389
00:40:45,041 --> 00:40:47,041
I'd like to get your opinion on some land.
390
00:40:53,916 --> 00:40:55,499
Something bothering you?
391
00:40:59,208 --> 00:41:01,749
I found Father's army papers in his study.
392
00:41:04,374 --> 00:41:05,665
Have you looked at them?
393
00:41:05,666 --> 00:41:06,499
Mm.
394
00:41:15,916 --> 00:41:18,791
"Cyrus Trask, 14th Connecticut Infantry,
395
00:41:19,291 --> 00:41:25,208
enlisted June 1862,
discharged October 1862."
396
00:41:29,208 --> 00:41:30,165
That's a mistake.
397
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:33,373
He wasn't discharged till the end
of the war, after he lost his leg.
398
00:41:33,374 --> 00:41:37,249
According to those papers,
he was injured in September of '62
399
00:41:37,916 --> 00:41:39,874
and discharged one month later.
400
00:41:43,083 --> 00:41:45,833
Well, that would mean
that he wasn't at Gettysburg...
401
00:41:48,791 --> 00:41:50,416
or Chancellorsville...
402
00:41:52,999 --> 00:41:54,083
the Wilderness
403
00:41:54,833 --> 00:41:57,623
or Richmond or Appomattox.
404
00:41:57,624 --> 00:41:59,958
I mean, he wasn't at any of it.
405
00:42:00,458 --> 00:42:01,666
Couldn't have been.
406
00:42:03,791 --> 00:42:04,708
Maybe.
407
00:42:11,249 --> 00:42:13,540
How the hell
did he get away with it?
408
00:42:13,541 --> 00:42:14,457
Charles.
409
00:42:14,458 --> 00:42:17,332
"A private soldier,"
and no one even questioned him.
410
00:42:17,333 --> 00:42:20,165
- His whole life was a lie.
- We don't know that.
411
00:42:20,166 --> 00:42:22,957
As you said,
it could've been a clerical error.
412
00:42:22,958 --> 00:42:25,374
Somebody could've easily put down
the wrong date.
413
00:42:26,041 --> 00:42:27,999
I've been keeping something from you.
414
00:42:31,333 --> 00:42:32,166
What is it?
415
00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:36,333
It's Father's will.
416
00:42:37,708 --> 00:42:39,958
He left everything equal to me and you.
417
00:42:41,874 --> 00:42:44,082
It's over $100,000.
418
00:42:45,333 --> 00:42:49,665
You mean more like $100.
419
00:42:49,666 --> 00:42:52,748
I didn't believe it either at first,
but there's no mistake.
420
00:42:52,749 --> 00:42:55,458
A hundred thousand in gold certificates.
421
00:42:58,124 --> 00:42:59,791
Now, where'd he get that money?
422
00:43:02,708 --> 00:43:06,333
- Maybe he earned it.
- On a salary of $135 a month?
423
00:43:07,749 --> 00:43:10,332
So maybe he had it all the time,
and we never knew.
424
00:43:10,333 --> 00:43:12,124
Or maybe our father was a thief.
425
00:43:13,124 --> 00:43:17,998
- You have no proof he stole anything.
- Adam, these are his official papers.
426
00:43:17,999 --> 00:43:19,623
Discharged in '62.
427
00:43:19,624 --> 00:43:22,748
- Years before the war was even over.
- What does that have to do with the money?
428
00:43:22,749 --> 00:43:26,123
If he lied about the war,
Adam, then anything is possible!
429
00:43:26,124 --> 00:43:28,207
He probably broke into
the treasury at the GAR,
430
00:43:28,208 --> 00:43:30,040
taking money from a veterans fund or...
431
00:43:30,041 --> 00:43:33,041
Charles, our father knew big men.
432
00:43:34,041 --> 00:43:37,749
There's such a thing as speculation.
He could've gotten in on a good thing.
433
00:43:39,124 --> 00:43:40,458
This money will free us.
434
00:43:41,291 --> 00:43:44,873
We can go where we like, do what we like.
We can shed the lives Father chose for us.
435
00:43:44,874 --> 00:43:46,248
No, I can't take it.
436
00:43:46,249 --> 00:43:49,207
Charles, we can sell this place
and start over.
437
00:43:49,208 --> 00:43:52,165
I hear things grow so fast in California,
you have to plant and stand back.
438
00:43:55,374 --> 00:43:56,373
What?
439
00:44:03,874 --> 00:44:05,458
Charles.
440
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:28,790
Oh God.
441
00:44:58,374 --> 00:45:00,957
Adam.
442
00:45:02,166 --> 00:45:04,415
- Fetch the doctor.
- We need the sheriff.
443
00:45:04,416 --> 00:45:07,708
- Just get the doctor first.
- Adam, this is a mistake.
444
00:45:08,416 --> 00:45:09,333
Let go.
445
00:45:40,166 --> 00:45:41,665
Okay.
446
00:45:44,666 --> 00:45:45,833
I'm sorry.
447
00:45:50,541 --> 00:45:52,958
That wound,
it'll scar if I don't wash it.
448
00:45:53,958 --> 00:45:55,123
Will you allow me?
449
00:45:58,166 --> 00:45:58,999
Yeah?
450
00:46:01,874 --> 00:46:03,916
Okay. Ready?
451
00:46:04,958 --> 00:46:07,748
Easy. Easy. Easy.
452
00:46:10,666 --> 00:46:11,541
I know.
453
00:46:13,083 --> 00:46:14,083
I know.
454
00:46:15,708 --> 00:46:16,541
I know.
455
00:46:21,499 --> 00:46:24,665
You are growing
smaller and smaller.
456
00:46:25,791 --> 00:46:27,958
So small, no one can find you.
457
00:46:29,166 --> 00:46:30,791
No one can hurt you.
458
00:46:32,374 --> 00:46:36,249
No door can keep you out,
and no door can close you in.
459
00:46:38,833 --> 00:46:41,583
So small, you have almost disappeared.
460
00:46:43,749 --> 00:46:45,791
But you will not, Cathy.
461
00:46:47,374 --> 00:46:49,458
You will not disappear.
462
00:47:01,708 --> 00:47:05,540
Rejection, anger, revenge.
463
00:47:06,791 --> 00:47:09,373
That is the story of mankind.
464
00:47:11,833 --> 00:47:14,916
I fear Father damned us
to the wrong fates.
465
00:47:16,708 --> 00:47:19,791
She is going to tear you to pieces,
and I don't wanna watch it.
466
00:47:20,541 --> 00:47:22,790
In the whole world,
there's only evil and folly?
467
00:47:22,791 --> 00:47:24,541
- Is that what you think?
- I know it.
