(Middle Ages pipe music)

(heartfelt instrumental music)

- [Girl] 15.

Here I come!

(heartfelt instrumental music)

- [Robert] To truly know a people,

you must look into the hearts and minds

of those who experience the peace

and who live the hardship of their time.

(children muttering)

The South was a land power, an agrarian community.

Where the people are deeply rooted in the soil

and bound to a code laid down by their forefathers.

(heartfelt instrumental music)

In the middle of the 19th Century, South Carolinians called

their fellow Southerners to the flag

and the storm that followed left a mighty wake.

"I just miss him." (somber instrumental music)

(water running)

(suspenseful music)

Upon our arrival north of Richmond,

our company was merged into General Butler's Cavalry.

(ominous music) (watch ticking)

The Charleston Light Dragoons had made our state proud,

as we have been thrown in the most savage combat

either side has seen in four years.

But it has only bolstered our morale.

- Captain.

The men are in ranks and waiting.

- I'm coming. (suspenseful music)

(hooves pounding)

Grant's army has been attacking

our entrenchment along the Old Church Road.

But we've held our position,

and our resolve can't be broken.

Today we strike new ground

and I sense confidence in the men.

It's for your sweethearts.

Ready?

- [Robert] A man once said to me

that he drank every drop of blood

that was spilled every secession.

I've yet to see him on the field of battle.

Each day brings a more maddening

and vicious fight than the last.

And I hope the madness will subside,

but I only see its escalation.

(bright piano music) (hooves thundering)

(heartfelt instrumental music)

(gravel crunching)

Thank you.

(guests muttering)

- Young Adams. - Hello, Judge.

- What a pleasure to see you. - How are you?

Good to see you, too.

- [James] You're late, I was worried

you weren't going to make it. - Sorry, I'm sorry.

- Glad you're here. - Thank you, thank you.

(guests muttering)

- Robert, you made it.

- Hey, sorry I'm late. - No, not at all.

- [Guest] Mr. Adams!

A pleasure, sir.

- Good to see you. - Good to see you.

(guests laughing)

- Hello.

(guests muttering)

- So, I see you've managed to locate

the most beautiful girl in the room, Robert.

- She is stunning.

- And very discerning. - Do you know her?

- Or she's a Yankee, not exactly your type.

- I suppose I can overlook that.

- [Nelson] She's a governess for the Adams children.

Has it in mind to start her own school.

- Working for the Governor, huh?

- She's just moved South, Robert,

from our grandfather's home.

Philadelphia. - Little sister, right.

That's Evelyn? - Mm-hmm.

- Is she living with you and Sylvia?

- No, she's renting a room from Miss Buchanan.

- With all due respect, Nelson, she's beautiful.

- With all due respect, Robert, she is not interested.

- We'll let her be the judge of that.

(Evelyn speaking in foreign language)

(Robert speaking in foreign language)

(Evelyn speaking in foreign language)

(Robert speaking in foreign language)

- (laughing) Excuse us, Monsieur confused.

(speaking foreign language)

- Oh.

- It seems your Southern charm is having

difficulty transcending languages.

You just said,

"Her head is as big as the sun."

- [Nelson] Listen.

I don't think the Union is just gonna let

South Carolina walk away.

- [Robert] I don't think

your wife is gonna let you walk away. (laughs)

- [Nelson] Sylvia has learned to relax a bit.

- Yeah, your grandfather

and my grandfather fought the British.

- That's true, and honestly,

I think I'd rather fight the French.

But if we have to fight the British,

I'll get my kilt, my mace,

and I'll meet you on the battlefield on the Moors.

(Robert laughing)

Listen. - I do listen.

I have listened, but yeah, I wanna tell you something.

- We're putting the cart before the horse.

I don't even know if this war's gonna happen.

- If South Carolina has its way, this war will happen.

- Well at the very least, let's fight in Pennsylvania

because it is intolerable down here.

(Robert laughing)

Can you feel this?

- You're still not used to the heat, are you?

- It's oppressive.

(glasses clinking)

- [Evelyn] Thomas, I don't need your books.

Take your books home with you.

- [Thomas] Yes, ma'am.

(soft piano music)

- [Robert] I can hear your voice.

Your music.

I found myself lost in those moments.

I remember the faint smell in the air

when I knew you were near.

I recall the joy of watching you play.

The way your fingers lightly touched the keys.

I hold on to the promise of a life with you.

And I find peace in that.

- Captain Adams.

I apologize for interrupting.

- It's all right, Henry.

John, what can I do for ya?

- We wanted to report the Dutchmen's been sent out.

- Colonel sent this back.

- [Robert] What's on your minds?

- Well, Sir, I was just thinkin'--

- We were.

- We were just thinkin',

if the Yankees are sendin' foreigners out to fight for 'em,

does that mean we killed all the real Yankees?

- Maybe it does, maybe you're right.

- That's good.

Well, goodnight, Captain. - Good night.

John, see me at muster. - Yes, Sir.

- Night, John.

- Tell, Evelyn I said hello.

- I will, but I think she's tired of reading,

"Jackass sends his regards."

- Well, I guess Jackass will have

to keep his tar water to himself, won't he?

Robert, you know you sure do keep

a lengthy account of your time.

- Oh, it's not for posterity.

It's just (sighing),

I should have talked to her more.

- She's a teacher, right? - Yeah.

She teaches music.

She even writes it.

- A beautiful Yankee with a strong mind.

It's hard to believe she's taken up with a gent like you.

(haunting instrumental music)

- [Evelyn] You don't have to walk with me, Andy.

You can go on. - Thank you, Ma'am.

- [Evelyn] You boys stay on the road.

(children laughing) Goodbye!

(soft piano music)

- Hello, Miss McCord.

- Mr. Adams.

- May I?

- You're welcome to call me Evelyn.

- Yes, Ma'am.

Evelyn.

- That's better.

Robert.

- Are you enjoying Keats?

Why are you here?

- I'm on my way home, I just live right--

- No, I mean,

here.

- Oh, I didn't know I would stay,

but I may have found my place here.

I no longer feel displaced. - You're not displaced.

I would say you're placed.

I mean, I know this is a very different place,

but I,

well, think you're, well,

placed.

- (laughs) That's why I'm here.

You make me feel,

well, I feel

well-placed here.

(laughs)

- I have some news.

I haven't told anyone,

but I'm thinking of announcing my engagement.

- Oh.

Nelson didn't mention...

Who, may I ask are you marrying?

- Well, she's quite a lady.

Once you get to know her you'll be quite fond of her.

- Really?

- Well, her beauty and elegance

can only be matched by her intelligence.

In the same moment she can play a concerto,

recite Shakespeare

and blind a man with a face touched by God.

(heartwarming instrumental music)

- She sounds perfect for you.

It's too bad she's a Yankee.

(birds singing)

Is that supposed to be me? (laughs)

- Will you stop movin', please?

- Will you stop talking to me?

- I hope the students

at my school behave with a little bit more discipline.

- The students at your school?

- How 'bout our school?

Carry this to Colonel Nicholson.

- Yes, Sir.

- When this battle's over, I'm gonna get that dog, yonder,

and I'm takin' him home to Daddy.

(dog barking)

- You can take Henry with you. (dog barking)

(horse nickering)

- Henry!

(gun firing) Get down!

(soldiers yelling) (guns firing)

(hooves pounding)

- [Robert] Forward!

(soldiers yelling) (guns firing)

(soldiers yelling) (guns firing)

- Lieutenant, get the men ready.

(guns firing) (hooves pounding)

- [Soldier] Move it out, forward!

(nightmarish music) (hooves pounding)

(watch ticking) (Robert grunting)

(dramatic drum music)

(train whistling) (tracks rattling)

(ominous music) (crow cawing)

(somber music)

(Robert grunting)

(watch ticking)

(somber music)

- I have something for you.

(tender instrumental music) (watch ticking)

- It's beautiful.

- It was my grandfather's.

- Don't you think it'd be safer here?

- He gave it to me when I came South.

This carried a sense of home for me.

- And it will for me.

(Evelyn laughing) (heartwarming music)

- [John] Robert!

- [Robert] Hey, Boone!

- We just got word back from Charleston.

The succession vote was 169-0.

- Looks like it's done. - Oh, it's done.

I've gotta to go down to the Ray's farm to let Duncan know.

Couldn't come a day sooner.

Yah-yah! (hooves pounding)

- So, we're goin' to war?

- It's been comin'.

- What if Federal troops are sent in?

- [Robert] Our State Militia is gathering men,

but I wouldn't worry just yet.

- You know, for two years you've been tellin' me to worry

and now you're tellin' me not to worry?

- Let's just try to temper things.

- What did he say?

- We'll talk about it at supper.

- Are you all right? - Mm-hmm.

(somber instrumental music)

(suspicious instrumental music)

- That's Captain Griffin, he was captured in '61

and sent to Libby Prison in Richmond.

He spent two years there,

finally got traded out in a prisoner exchange.

He was mean as a snake before, he's even meaner now.

I'll tell ya somethin' else, boy,

and you better listen up good.

He hates everybody,

cavaliers, bushwhackers,

especially copperheads, our boys fightin' for you!

You got five minutes.

- Well, this time we got to battlin',

the Unions were shootin' at us. (panting)

So I got out front, I had to catch the cannonballs

that'd come across and throw 'em back at 'em.

It got a little heavy and one got through

and struck me, as you can see. (gasping)

- You look fairly content for a fella in here.

- Yeah, I'm all right.

- Here's somethin' to read.

- I do best just listenin'.

(panting) What is it anyway?

- The Trojan War. - War?

(sighing) I think I've had enough of that for a while.

- Yeah.

- Is the stench in here as bad as I think it is?

- No.

It's worse. - Worse. (laughs)

(panting)

- Sylvia. (soldiers coughing)

Sylvia.

(soldiers coughing)

Sylvia. (sighing)

- God!

(panting)

Nelson.

I want to take him with me.

- [Nurse] Yes, we've done all we can.

(Nelson groaning)

- Come on, Nelson.

- [Nelson] Medicine.

(groaning)

(groaning)

- [Robert] It's okay, come on.

- I'm not wearin' this Yankee rag!

(Nelson moaning)

(Nelson grunting)

(Nelson panting)

(Nelson panting)

- [Griffin] Let him walk on his own.

- He's too sick.

(grunting)

You son of a bitch!

- Let him crawl then!

(soldier laughing) (Nelson moaning)

- Captain Griffin, the Colonel needs to speak to you.

(Nelson moaning)

(Nelson moaning)

- [Nelson] Them book's are a means to escape.

- No, they're not.

I'm sorry.

- I joined on my own accord.

- I pushed you.

I pushed her.

- [Evelyn] I just can't believe you're considering this.

- Listen, this is happening.

Evelyn, think of the home that we're building here,

both of us.

I have to offer myself to this, it's only right.

- Do you remember when Granddaddy used

to take you hunting?

- Of course, why?

- You hated it, you never killed anything.

- Evie, I was a child, it's not the same.

I'm not the same.

(sighing)

- It isn't in you, Nelson, I know you.

- I need you to understand this.

(gravel crunching)

(sighing)

(somber music)

(sighing)

(hooves pounding)

- Where is she goin'?

- I don't know?

(sighing) Things are just difficult right now.

(sighing) Maybe you should talk to her?

(heartfelt instrumental music)

(hooves pounding)

- You want some peace and quiet?

- The days of peace

and summer's calm have fled.

(birds singing)

He's doing this because of you.

- Evelyn, he may not go, he may not have to go.

But you must let him make his own decision.

- You must let him make his own decision,

Nelson, is different than you.

He is not compelled by the same passion that lives in you

and you must not pull him in!

- His devotion's the same as yours and mine!

- Your devotion is to this land!

- Evelyn, my devotion is to you

and to living our life together as we choose.

But there are certain things we have to do to ensure that.

- Nothing is done that can't be undone, Robert!

- I'd rather wade in blood then submit.

- I wonder if you would willingly affect a compromise

even if it were in your power?

- This uncertainty from you is worse than war.

- Have you even considered the consequences?

What will become of this culture you fight for?

And Robert, I have family in the North!

- You have to choose between the two sides!

I shall like to think your place is here.

- No, Robert, listen to me!

You have a heart,

it is touched by fire.

(soft orchestral music)

It is the measure of your life

and it is what I fell in love with.

But now it terrifies me,

I'm so scared what this is doing to you.

What this is doing to us.

(somber orchestral music)

- I'd thought we'd marry before I left.

(heartfelt orchestral music)

(somber piano music)

(Evelyn laughing)

(Evelyn laughing)

- [Evelyn] You are such a boy!

- We gotta get outta here.

- We are gettin' outta here.

- How?

And when?

- I know how,

I just don't know when.

- [Benjamin] How the hell do I get outta this cell?

If you haven't noticed,

they've stuck us in the worst part of the prison.

- [Robert] It's the yard that worries me.

We need to get to the graveyard.

If we can get past the riverbank, then we'll be fine.

- Robert.

It's a map to my grandfather's house in Pennsylvania.

Take it.

- You're comin' with us.

- I can't. - Yes, you can.

You stay here

and you'll die.

- [Guard] It don't make any sense,

them sendin' in more Graybacks and sendin' our men out?

- [Boggs] We can barely hold the ones we got.

Hey, look here.

- [Guard] What in the hell's that?

- [Boggs] Gold, from their teeth.

- [Guard] (laughs) So, when do you go?

- [Boggs] Tomorrow.

- Dawn.

Boggs!

Boggs!

Boggs, we need the nurse. - Goddammit, no!

- Please!

Call her.

He needs help.

I'll give this to you.

- [Boggs] Keep you damn voice down!

Let me see it.

(keys jangling)

(grunting) Hey! (suspenseful music)

- [Robert] Ready?

Come on. - Oh, hang on, ready.

(suspenseful music)

(soldiers muttering)

- [Robert] Shit.

(ominous music)

- [Solder] Let it go.

(Boggs grunting)

(Boggs grunting)

- [Boggs] Hey! (lock clicking)

(ominous music) (crying)

(suspenseful music)

(hooves thundering)

- [Robert] Come on, come on!

(suspenseful music)

(Nelson coughing)

(horse neighing)

- [Soldier] Captain!

- Go, come on!

(horse neighing) (hooves thundering)

(Benjamin panting)

- You think they're on us? - No.

(horse neighing)

- [Men] Yes!

(dramatic music)

(Nelson panting)

- [Benjamin] Griffin!

- The tracker? - Has to be.

(dramatic music)

(Nelson coughing)

(water splashing)

(ominous music) (dogs barking)

(moves into dramatic music)

(suspenseful music) (hooves thundering)

(moves into ominous music)

- Where you goin'? - Hands up!

(horses neighing) (men laughing)

(dramatic music) - No!

No!

Stop it! (ominous music)

No!

No, No!

No!

Nelson!

(gun firing)

Nelson. (somber music)

(Robert panting)

(water splashing)

(suspenseful music)

- [Griffin] Yah, yah!

- [Evelyn] I don't know if my letters ever reach you,

if you're safe, if you think of me?

I so often wonder what my last words to you were?

- Evelyn, what are you doin'?

- Well, Sylvia, I'm lending a hand.

- Mornin', Elizabeth. - Miss McCord.

- [Evelyn] It keeps my mind from other things.

- Well, you and I certainly have

different ideas of relaxin'.

There's a letter inside, from your grandfather.

- [Evelyn] I'll read it when I'm finished here.

- What will people think, Evelyn,

when they see you laborin' like an old washer-woman?

- What people are you referring to, Sylvia?

So many have gone, the rest have more pressing things

to worry about.

- Evelyn, we owe it to our boys

to maintain a firm sense of ourselves,

otherwise-- - Otherwise, they will what?

The paper said the Union Army is almost in Atlanta.

No word from Robert or Nelson, we have no way of knowing--

- Stop worrying.

Our boys will make short work of this whole unpleasantness.

Now come inside and get some dinner.

Or would you prefer to dine with the laundry?

- I'll be in when I'm finished.

Or, you could stay out here and lend us a hand.

- Elizabeth.

(somber music)

(fire crackling)

(haunting instrumental music)

(watch ticking)

- [Nelson] Robert, it's a map to my grandfather's house

in Pennsylvania.

Take it.

- [Robert] You're comin' with us.

- I can't.

- [Robert] Yes, you can.

You stay here

and you'll die.

(solemn music)

- [Elizabeth] The carriage is waitin', Miss Evelyn.

- Elizabeth, would you sit with me?

(soft instrumental music)

What will you do?

- I don't know?

- Neither do I.

You all have a place with us if you choose it.

(ominous music)

(rocks scattering)

- We're lost.

- I can plainly see that, but thank you.

- No, I mean we're-- - There's no time for this!

He coulda drown in that damn river

or he coulda just rot in Elmira with the rest of 'em!

- I'm not sayin' I'm throwin' the flag!

- What then?

I'm not gonna let you disgrace yourself or Nelson!

(men panting)

- Where are you going? - Pennsylvania!

- I thought we were goin' to Virginia?

- Have you ever been up North?

- [Elizabeth] No, Ma'am.

(heartfelt orchestral music)

(hooves clopping) (wheels creaking)

(water splashing) (dramatic music)

(men panting)

(suspenseful music)

(water splashing)

(suspenseful music)

(gun clicking)

- (panting) What?

Hello? - Get up!

Kneel down.

Kneel down.

Found some boys in the woods.

- Soldiers? - Don't know?

They got Union clothes.

Pretty raggedy lookin'.

Found this on 'im.

(soft dramatic music)

(heartfelt orchestral music)

- It's been so long.

(heartfelt orchestral music)

I still can't believe I'm lookin' at you!

Oh, I look awful! (laughing)

Oh, my gosh!

You look skinny, you need some food, come on.

(solemn music)

Robert, are you all right?

- [Robert] What are you doin' here?

- Granddaddy,

he isn't well.

Miss Sylvia's with the doctor, the journey was hard on her.

She isn't well without Nelson.

She'll be so happy to see you.

It'll bring her such reassurance.

Robert? (somber music)

- He was with us.

(dark music)

(somber piano music)

(Evelyn sobs)

(rain sprinkling)

- Hello, Mr. Young. - Hello.

- You should go inside.

- I need to stay out here, keep watch.

Your grandfather has a fine place here.

(water splashing) (rain splattering)

- I missed it.

It's where Nelson and I grew up.

- I don't know what to say, Ma'am?

Except I'm sorry. (Evelyn crying)

I know you're hurting.

I know Robert is, too.

But some of us still believe in what we're fightin' for.

I saw it in your brother.

I see it in Robert.

And it's more than winnin' the war now,

it's about winnin' our lives back.

If any of us leave now,

what does that say to the ones that died?

What does it say?

Miss Evelyn?

I know you're grandfather's sick,

but the South can't be doin' too well if you're up here.

- Perhaps what drove me from the South, Mr. Young,

is the same thing that's gonna drive you from here.

You think about that.

Goodnight, Mr. Young.

- Goodnight.

(somber music)

(water splashing)

- You need rest, I'll wake you in the morning.

(soft instrumental music)

(water splashing)

Robert, what were you told about home?

The Union Army destroyed Atlanta

and when they reached Columbia,

there was no one there to stop them.

(men yelling) (ominous music)

They shelled the city from the edge of the river.

And then the soldiers poured into the streets.

(fire raging) (people exclaiming)

- You've got to leave here!

You've got to leave here!

(hooves thundering) (Evelyn screaming)

(fire crackling) (people yelling)

- [Man] They might be coming up to the plantation.

Get outta here or they'll take the home!

(hooves thundering) (soldiers cheering)

(people exclaiming)

(ominous music)

- Any structure used to aid

in this insurrection is to be razed.

Resistance will be considered hostile action

against the Federal Government.

Ladies, you and your men will leave this property now.

- [Evelyn] I thought to tell them that I owned the house.

- [Soldier] Who owns this land?

- I do.

The Captain was from Philadelphia.

- Your name?

- McCord. - No!

- [Evelyn] And he knew of my family.

The house survived, but Sylvia and I had to leave.

(dramatic music)

- God, Evelyn.

(somber music)

Evelyn.

(leaves rustling)

(dishes rattling)

- How did you sleep?

- Sure better than you, dear.

He's leaving, isn't he?

You must make most of the time that you have left with him.

- I can't.

I can't just give him one day

and then let him go, possibly forever.

- Darling, don't you know

he would risk everything by staying?

Isn't it right for him to go and finish the fight?

- How can you believe that

when you say yourself the war is all but over?

- (sighing) Try to understand, he sacrifices everything

for the hope of having a better life for you.

- No, I finally have him where I can hold him

and touch him and I know he's safe!

(fist rapping)

- Robert, sit with me.

You know, since she was a little girl,

I've seen it in her,

her strength,

her spirit.

Robert, she is your inspiration

and she is mine, too.

- She's kept me alive, she's everything to me.

- If she is then why, why are you so eager

to go out there and get yourself killed?

She has suffered too much.

Tell me,

do you intend to make your way back?

- Trouble's behind us. - And ahead of you.

Do you know of Richmond,

that the situation is grave?

- I've committed to this.

- To be loyal to your people means

you would fight to the death for them,

yet everyman must know when it's time to (sighs) move on.

When it's time to

strike the tent.

- I can't just walk away from it.

- Robert, are you prepared to walk away from her?

Tell me,

are you?

- [Evelyn] Sylvia, I trust you're feeling better?

- I'm fine.

I'm fine, don't fuss.

- [Evelyn] You look fine.

- But you look perfectly green.

I know I have been ill, but I think we might have

to have the doctor back to take a look at you.

- Sylvia.

- Robert?

Evelyn, no wonder why you seemed out of sorts. (laughs)

I suppose I missed the celebration.

- Sylvia. - Robert.

- There's something I need to tell you.

- You look like you could use a meal.

- Sylvia.

It's Nelson.

(melancholic instrumental music)

- Well.

I must get some rest.

I must look so...

I hope you will pardon me.

- [Evelyn] Sylvia, Sylvia!

(shoes pounding)

(Sylvia gasping)

(fist rapping)

(Sylvia crying) (melancholic music)

Sylvia?

(Sylvia crying)

- Would you play for me?

(sentimental piano music)

(hooves pounding)

(Evelyn laughing)

(Evelyn screaming)

(fire crackling)

(pen scratching)

(watch ticking)

I love you.

(somber instrumental music)

(soft piano music)

- You know you ain't gotta go.

- Yes, I do.

- Take this one here, too, Sir.

- Thank ya, Quash.

Take care of her for me.

- Yes, Sir.

(somber music)

- You know what lies ahead of us.

- [Robert] It changes nothin'.

Come on!

(Robert exclaiming)

(hooves pounding)

(ominous music)

(horse nickering)

(hooves thundering)

(solemn music)

Whoa!

- [Benjamin] Robert, how are we gonna find the Army,

to join Johnston's Army against Sherman.

- [Robert] That's what I understand.

I've just made my way back from Elmira.

To be one of the living, you're one of the more fortunate.

How can I be of service here?

Sheridan's got us penned in and if we don't hold here,

they're gonna take our last supply line.

I, uh, I imagine you heard about Columbia?

Robert, how many men do you have in your command?

- One.

- [Evelyn] Dear, Robert, I'm writing you a letter

I know I will never send.

As I write these words, I have no reason to believe

that you will ever read them.

I write to you tonight only from my heart,

which just misses talking to you.

With each day,

I grow that much more lonely here without you.

With each night, I think of you

and of all the things between us never said and never done.

Since the death of Granddaddy,

Sylvia and I have returned home to Wavering Place.

We're working to rebuild a life here.

If you are dead, the best part of me will die with you.

If you live, it is for a reason.

It is to be with me,

and so I wait for you tonight

and every night, forever.

- Tell your grandma that I'm comin' in a minute.

- [Grandchild] I will.

- Granddaddy! - Hello, my girl!

- [Grandchild] Granddaddy!

- [Robert] For those of us who survived that terrible storm,

we have done our duty to the dead.

But now we must look to our responsibilities to the living.

Darlin', you're beautiful.

Though the cause for which we fought has ended,

we are proud to have defended our people and our homes.

The courage we desire is not to die decently,

but to live honorably.

I look to what lies ahead of me

and it is this life with Evelyn

in which I have put my faith.

We look back on the joy and sadness of those days

and we are penetrated with a profound sense of grief

for the loss of those so dear to us.

As it has always been,

my strength lies in her

and the promise we keep to each other.
