You the station agent?

Yes, but...

I'm not accepting

I only came to leave this behind
for whomever comes through.

But I'm here.
You're duty-bound to aid me.

[Martin] Your name?

[Cora] Cora Randall.

From Georgia.

My mama named Mabel.

Run off before me.

Run away with a friend.

Two friends.

I see.
And-and who were they?

C-Caesar...

and Lovey.

We took the Underground to
Griffin back in South Carolina.

[Cora] But why such horror?

[Martin] A sign, warning.

North Carolina outlawed Negroes.

They are simply not allowed
nor tolerated.

- [Cora] Even slaves?
- [Martin] Especially slaves.

The savagery
a man is capable of...

...when he believes
his cause to be just.

To thank and celebrate
our heroic protectors.

Put your hands together, y'all.

Today, we have the pleasure

Young Richard here

Oh, yes, now.

Plenty more than fine.

[Jamison] To hear tell it,

Richard was searching
the hold of a steamship...

...and found this rascal
hiding below.

Louisa is her name.

[sobbing]

She absconded in
the confusion of the great state

of North Carolina's
reorganization,

believing that she could escape

the logic of our system.

Now, in the deathless dark,

our Southern heritage
lies defenseless and imperiled,

- susceptible to contamination
- [Louisa sobbing]

by heathens like Louisa here.

Eager to sprout 50 more
little niggers to lie about...

...pock up our state.

To that, I say no.

[shaky breathing]

Not here...

in the great white state
of North Carolina.

Pure in every way

as the Lord intended

in his vision of his people

before the Black Plague
was imported to our shores.

Some, like our...

our brothers yonder
in South Carolina,

have embraced the notion

of nigger uplift.

[scoffs]

I'll say it's harder
to teach a nigger to reason

than a hog arithmetic.

[congregation laughs]

But then, we don't
teach hogs arithmetic

You're sweet to help, Mother,

That's what you have Fiona for.

[Jane] Mother.

[Ethel] What?

[Jane] Fiona, I'll tend to that.

Please go eat your supper.

[Martin] Well, Jane most

- I may have noticed.
- You might have noticed.

Without speaking

- Gentlemen.
- Yeah.

These here are apricots,
Mother's recipe,

- Thank you, ma'am.
- Very kind of you. Thank you.

- Lovely.
- Thank you, ma'am.

But...

the Republicans...

are gaining speed,
and I have to say,

they have several
persuasive arguments.

After that old
Missouri Compromise horseshit,

Pardon my language, missus.

Oh.

No. Thank you, ma'am.

My ears are

But they do bristle

Who spoke of death?

No one.

I was just, uh...

[Ethel] Pardon me.

You take offense
at our ceremony, Martin?

No, no, I-I take no offense.

Wouldn't be here if I had.

I've seen Oklahoma,

Indiana.

Have you, Constable?

No. Afraid I haven't.

Hmm.

I don't see the point.

North Carolina is
God's vision of America.

As he intended.

Pure.

So, then, what has you

Excuse me?

"And it came to pass,

'You go in and slay them.

Let none come forth.'

And they smote them
with the edge of the sword,

and the guard
and the captains cast them out

and went to the city
of the house of Baal.

And they brought forth
the images

out of the house of Baal
and burned them.

And they brought forth
the images

out of the house of Baal

and burned them."

Burn them,

Be like Jehu.

I rebuke this sinful text
in the name of the Lord.

- [all] Amen.
- You have no place here.

[all] Amen.

"And they brake down
the images of Baal,

and they brake down
the house of Baal,

and they made it
a draughthouse unto this day.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal
out of Israel.

And they brought forth
the images

out of the house of Baal,

and they burned them.

And they brought forth
the images

out of the house of Baal,

and they burned them,
and they burned them,

and they burned them."

Can I get an amen?

[all] Amen!

Give me another "amen."

"For he established

known to their children.

That the generation
to come might know them,

even the children
which should be born,

who should arise and
declare them to their children.

That they might set

That they might set
