Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:51,815 --> 00:02:53,124
My father back?
2
00:02:56,359 --> 00:02:57,701
He's inside.
3
00:03:00,135 --> 00:03:03,069
George, listen.
You still don't understand this.
4
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:04,548
I don't want to.
5
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:07,999
I'd rather keep your friendship.
6
00:03:08,295 --> 00:03:10,816
- Priam is my father's property.
- No.
7
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:13,795
I don't understand that.
8
00:03:25,895 --> 00:03:28,132
I have to leave in the morning, Orry.
9
00:03:28,711 --> 00:03:31,493
All right. I'll take you to the train.
10
00:04:02,791 --> 00:04:04,733
This will stop the train.
11
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:11,202
Is that it?
12
00:04:11,655 --> 00:04:13,892
No. That's the Charleston freight.
13
00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:16,293
It goes by here every other day
about this time.
14
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:18,847
The passenger local will be here
in about 20 minutes.
15
00:04:49,607 --> 00:04:50,752
Priam!
16
00:04:51,239 --> 00:04:52,239
Stop!
17
00:05:11,911 --> 00:05:13,187
Orry, no!
18
00:05:13,767 --> 00:05:15,971
This has nothing to do with you, George.
19
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:17,600
Please, Mr. Orry.
20
00:05:18,535 --> 00:05:19,680
For God's sake!
21
00:05:20,231 --> 00:05:24,028
If I take him back, he'll wish he was dead.
You don't know what they'll do to him.
22
00:05:24,103 --> 00:05:25,630
Then let him go.
23
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,060
I told you. He belongs to my father.
24
00:05:32,391 --> 00:05:33,438
Please.
25
00:05:33,511 --> 00:05:35,900
If not for Priam, then do it for me.
26
00:05:39,271 --> 00:05:41,759
That's not fair.
You're taking advantage of our friendship.
27
00:05:41,831 --> 00:05:43,041
Yes, I am.
28
00:05:51,111 --> 00:05:53,020
All right, Priam. All right. Run.
29
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:58,301
Run before I change my mind. Run!
30
00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:18,625
A life for a life, George. You saved mine.
31
00:06:19,111 --> 00:06:22,078
And I will still stand up with you,
if you want me.
32
00:06:22,663 --> 00:06:24,485
But you have to get it through your head.
33
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:27,421
Our lives down here are different.
They have to be.
34
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,261
Don't ever interfere with us again...
35
00:06:31,335 --> 00:06:33,440
or ask me to go against my own kind.
36
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:51,585
I, Constance, take thee, George,
for my lawful husband.
37
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:55,262
I, Constance, take thee, George,
for my lawful husband.
38
00:06:56,007 --> 00:06:58,690
To have and to hold from this day forward.
39
00:07:00,071 --> 00:07:02,559
To have and to hold from this day forward.
40
00:07:02,919 --> 00:07:04,413
For better, for worse.
41
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:06,756
For richer, for poorer.
42
00:07:06,983 --> 00:07:08,707
In sickness and in health.
43
00:07:09,159 --> 00:07:10,817
For better, for worse.
44
00:07:11,111 --> 00:07:12,572
For richer, for poorer.
45
00:07:13,287 --> 00:07:14,978
In sickness and in health.
46
00:07:15,591 --> 00:07:17,533
Until death do us part.
47
00:07:18,055 --> 00:07:19,714
Until death do us part.
48
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:27,011
To think I'd ever be forced to attend
a Catholic ceremony. It's a disgrace.
49
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,737
Be quiet, Isabel.
50
00:07:28,807 --> 00:07:31,524
At least they had the good sense
to keep it private.
51
00:07:31,591 --> 00:07:33,860
As if anyone would have come, anyway.
52
00:07:33,927 --> 00:07:35,520
Please be quiet, Isabel.
53
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,483
May I have the ring, please?
54
00:08:00,935 --> 00:08:03,139
By the authority vested in me...
55
00:08:03,207 --> 00:08:07,363
by the Holy Mother Church
and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania...
56
00:08:08,551 --> 00:08:11,136
I now pronounce you man and wife.
57
00:08:13,607 --> 00:08:15,462
You may kiss the bride.
58
00:08:43,047 --> 00:08:45,251
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
59
00:08:49,735 --> 00:08:51,458
Does it go on forever?
60
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,298
It's not everyday
your big brother gets married, Billy.
61
00:08:55,367 --> 00:08:56,480
I know.
62
00:08:56,967 --> 00:08:58,822
I just wish I were somewhere else.
63
00:09:00,007 --> 00:09:01,829
Where would you like to be?
64
00:09:04,295 --> 00:09:06,499
You think they'd take me at West Point?
65
00:09:09,511 --> 00:09:11,137
Want to be a soldier?
66
00:09:11,591 --> 00:09:14,723
I really envied you and George
when you were fighting down in Mexico.
67
00:09:14,791 --> 00:09:16,831
There were some hard times down there.
68
00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:19,744
You don't envy me this leg, do you?
69
00:09:20,007 --> 00:09:21,152
No.
70
00:09:23,079 --> 00:09:25,348
I'd just like to be a soldier, that's all.
71
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:27,719
Maybe some day you will.
72
00:09:33,671 --> 00:09:37,217
Constance, my dear.
If my William had lived...
73
00:09:38,087 --> 00:09:41,884
I know that he would've been proud
to welcome you to our family today.
74
00:09:42,887 --> 00:09:44,294
Thank you.
75
00:09:44,967 --> 00:09:46,822
Everyone has been so kind.
76
00:09:48,551 --> 00:09:50,972
We're all so fond of you already.
77
00:09:52,935 --> 00:09:57,375
George, there's something very important
I want to say to you and your brother.
78
00:09:58,823 --> 00:10:01,190
And I'd like you and Isabel
to hear it as well.
79
00:10:01,255 --> 00:10:03,394
You're being mysterious, Mother.
80
00:10:03,591 --> 00:10:04,703
Not really.
81
00:10:04,775 --> 00:10:08,801
This is something I've wanted to do
for quite a while. So come along.
82
00:10:27,687 --> 00:10:29,029
Miss Hazard.
83
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:32,609
Mr. Main.
84
00:10:33,479 --> 00:10:36,032
I thought Constance
made a very beautiful bride.
85
00:10:36,295 --> 00:10:37,702
Yes, she did.
86
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:43,556
Do you admire beauty?
87
00:10:44,199 --> 00:10:45,923
As a matter of fact, I do.
88
00:10:46,343 --> 00:10:49,758
What about a woman's mind?
Do you admire that also?
89
00:10:50,247 --> 00:10:52,669
I just heard that Southern men...
90
00:10:52,743 --> 00:10:55,264
aren't concerned about what women think.
91
00:10:56,871 --> 00:10:59,905
I can't speak for all Southern men,
but for myself...
92
00:11:00,487 --> 00:11:04,447
I admire a woman for all that she is,
and that includes her ideas.
93
00:11:05,127 --> 00:11:06,437
Is that so?
94
00:11:09,063 --> 00:11:11,780
Perhaps you'd like to hear
a few more of mine.
95
00:11:20,839 --> 00:11:24,255
It's a great joy
to have my children near me now.
96
00:11:24,999 --> 00:11:29,341
Since George is home for good,
married and settled at last...
97
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,589
I feel that it is time for a change
in the management of Hazard Iron.
98
00:11:37,319 --> 00:11:38,726
A change, Mother?
99
00:11:39,303 --> 00:11:40,732
Yes, dear.
100
00:11:40,807 --> 00:11:42,847
I've decided George and Stanley...
101
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:45,821
should have equal responsibility
of the foundry.
102
00:11:45,895 --> 00:11:46,943
What?
103
00:11:48,647 --> 00:11:50,435
I thought it was understood...
104
00:11:50,504 --> 00:11:52,959
that I, as the oldest son,
would run Hazard Iron.
105
00:11:53,575 --> 00:11:57,317
As the oldest, you will retain
financial control, of course.
106
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:00,705
But George will have an equal voice
in all other matters.
107
00:12:01,127 --> 00:12:03,844
I feel that George has
earned this, Stanley.
108
00:12:03,911 --> 00:12:08,166
And I believe that it
is fair to both of you.
109
00:12:10,599 --> 00:12:12,192
Of course, Mother.
110
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,785
George, I'm so happy for you.
111
00:12:16,711 --> 00:12:20,192
And now, I think we should all return
to our guests.
112
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:32,960
So what have you done with yourself
the last few years?
113
00:12:33,031 --> 00:12:36,260
I've been working very hard
for the antislavery society.
114
00:12:37,063 --> 00:12:40,576
I'm giving my first address
a week from tonight in Philadelphia.
115
00:12:40,647 --> 00:12:41,956
Really?
116
00:12:42,375 --> 00:12:44,709
I was told
that you will be in that city then.
117
00:12:44,775 --> 00:12:45,822
Yes.
118
00:12:46,439 --> 00:12:48,129
On your way back to Dixie?
119
00:12:48,839 --> 00:12:50,246
That's right.
120
00:12:52,423 --> 00:12:56,067
Since you're so enamored with women
and their ideas...
121
00:12:56,135 --> 00:12:59,431
perhaps you would enjoy listening to one
who actually has some.
122
00:13:00,071 --> 00:13:03,300
The meeting is public
and you're certainly welcome.
123
00:13:06,311 --> 00:13:08,613
Believe it or not, Miss Hazard...
124
00:13:09,224 --> 00:13:11,012
since your brother and I became friends...
125
00:13:11,079 --> 00:13:14,462
I have taken a serious interest
in the Northern point of view.
126
00:13:16,199 --> 00:13:18,981
I would consider it a pleasure
to hear you speak.
127
00:13:20,135 --> 00:13:22,045
Orry, here you are.
128
00:13:24,327 --> 00:13:27,295
We have something we'd like to ask you.
129
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:30,847
It's an invitation, really,
for you and all your family...
130
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:34,748
to join us here at Belvedere next summer
for a nice long visit.
131
00:13:35,431 --> 00:13:38,497
Our lake is really very lovely
that time of year.
132
00:13:39,367 --> 00:13:40,960
That sounds delightful, ma'am.
133
00:13:41,031 --> 00:13:43,486
On behalf of all the Mains,
I accept with pleasure.
134
00:13:45,511 --> 00:13:46,787
Mother.
135
00:13:47,751 --> 00:13:49,856
We need to notify the architects...
136
00:13:49,927 --> 00:13:52,447
so we can set up slave quarters
in the back.
137
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:55,100
Virgilia.
138
00:13:56,199 --> 00:13:57,377
I'm so sorry.
139
00:13:57,447 --> 00:14:00,130
Mother, we all know
that the best thing to do...
140
00:14:00,199 --> 00:14:02,916
when Virgilia gets like this
is to ignore her.
141
00:14:03,815 --> 00:14:05,855
I think this is an excellent opportunity...
142
00:14:05,927 --> 00:14:09,342
for the best man to propose a toast
to the bride and groom.
143
00:14:09,863 --> 00:14:12,252
It would be my very great pleasure.
144
00:14:37,767 --> 00:14:41,379
Roll it along! Roll it along!
145
00:14:41,447 --> 00:14:45,025
Roll it along! Thro' the nation
Freedom's car, Emancipation!
146
00:14:45,095 --> 00:14:48,641
Roll it along! Roll it along!
147
00:14:48,711 --> 00:14:52,224
Roll it along! Thro' the nation
Freedom's car, Emancipation!
148
00:14:52,295 --> 00:14:55,874
Men of various predilections
Frightened, run in all directions.
149
00:14:55,943 --> 00:14:59,325
Merchants, editors, physicians
Lawyers, priests and politicians.
150
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:02,181
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
151
00:15:02,247 --> 00:15:04,931
Good evening.
Representative Sam Greene, Pennsylvania.
152
00:15:04,999 --> 00:15:07,650
One of the leading lights
of our movement, Mr. Gerrit Smith.
153
00:15:07,719 --> 00:15:11,199
George Hazard. This is my wife,
Constance. And our friend, Orry Main.
154
00:15:11,719 --> 00:15:14,239
- Hazard of Hazard Iron?
- That's right.
155
00:15:14,984 --> 00:15:17,439
Then you must be related to Miss Virgilia.
156
00:15:17,511 --> 00:15:20,380
My sister.
You gentlemen are acquainted with her?
157
00:15:20,455 --> 00:15:24,579
Why, she's the reason that we're here.
You must be very proud of her.
158
00:15:24,647 --> 00:15:25,759
Proud?
159
00:15:27,815 --> 00:15:29,125
Why, yes.
160
00:15:29,415 --> 00:15:31,390
She's done wonders for our cause.
161
00:15:31,463 --> 00:15:35,107
A hard worker, with enormous energy
to match her remarkable beauty.
162
00:15:36,487 --> 00:15:39,716
If she can manage to put into words
in a public forum...
163
00:15:39,783 --> 00:15:42,271
what she feels so deeply in her heart...
164
00:15:42,343 --> 00:15:45,856
then the days of slavery are numbered
as from this night.
165
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:55,393
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome and good evening.
166
00:15:56,423 --> 00:15:59,292
I have the honor to introduce to you...
167
00:15:59,367 --> 00:16:02,945
a man whose personal sufferings
and trials...
168
00:16:03,015 --> 00:16:05,699
symbolize and personify...
169
00:16:05,767 --> 00:16:09,247
the wicked and diabolical institution
of slavery...
170
00:16:09,319 --> 00:16:12,101
which nature and all decent men abhor.
171
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:16,389
A man free at last by the grace of God...
172
00:16:16,455 --> 00:16:20,252
who has literally suffered the cruelties
and tortures of the damned...
173
00:16:20,327 --> 00:16:23,742
at the hands of human monsters
who held him in bondage.
174
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:26,341
Mr. Frederick Douglass.
175
00:16:41,127 --> 00:16:42,916
Thank you, my friends.
176
00:16:44,359 --> 00:16:47,655
I am very glad to be here.
177
00:16:48,487 --> 00:16:50,592
I am very glad...
178
00:16:50,663 --> 00:16:53,794
to mingle my voice
with those with whom I have labored...
179
00:16:53,895 --> 00:16:56,961
for the purpose of undoing the burdens
of my brethren...
180
00:16:57,031 --> 00:16:59,420
and hastening the day
of their emancipation.
181
00:17:07,175 --> 00:17:10,852
My friends, slavery must be abolished.
182
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:14,144
And the only way that can be done...
183
00:17:14,215 --> 00:17:17,249
is by enforcing
the great principles of justice.
184
00:17:17,864 --> 00:17:20,766
Vainly you talk about voting it down.
185
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:23,422
When you have cast
your millions of ballots...
186
00:17:23,495 --> 00:17:25,731
you will not have reached the evil.
187
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:29,344
It has fastened its root
deep into the heart of the nation...
188
00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:33,506
and nothing but God's truth and love
can cleanse the land.
189
00:17:40,743 --> 00:17:42,150
I ask you...
190
00:17:42,535 --> 00:17:44,706
No, I beg you...
191
00:17:45,895 --> 00:17:48,765
to look at the practical operation
of the slave trade...
192
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:50,627
the American slave trade...
193
00:17:50,695 --> 00:17:55,168
sustained by American politics
and American religion.
194
00:17:55,943 --> 00:18:00,221
There you will see men and women
reared like swine for the market.
195
00:18:00,551 --> 00:18:04,348
Driven so that they crowd
the highways of the nation.
196
00:18:04,423 --> 00:18:08,449
Driven by men armed
with pistol, whip, and bowie knife.
197
00:18:08,967 --> 00:18:13,506
See you the young girl of 13 weeping.
Yes, weeping...
198
00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:19,069
as she thinks of the mother
from whom she has just been torn.
199
00:18:19,815 --> 00:18:24,092
Attend the slave auction
and see men examined like horses.
200
00:18:25,223 --> 00:18:28,092
And women rudely
and shockingly exposed...
201
00:18:28,167 --> 00:18:30,622
to the gaze of American slave buyers.
202
00:18:30,695 --> 00:18:34,470
And never forget the sobs
that arise from this group...
203
00:18:36,007 --> 00:18:37,731
as they are sold...
204
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:40,422
and separated forever.
205
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,981
Tell me, dear citizens.
Where under God's sun...
206
00:18:48,007 --> 00:18:52,676
can you find a spectacle more fiendish
and shocking than this?
207
00:18:53,255 --> 00:18:54,881
Bravo!
208
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:11,942
It is now my singular pleasure
to introduce...
209
00:19:12,007 --> 00:19:15,203
a new and tireless member
of our organization...
210
00:19:16,487 --> 00:19:20,644
who has fearlessly chosen
the path of God's work.
211
00:19:21,127 --> 00:19:24,094
May I present Miss Virgilia Hazard.
212
00:19:41,415 --> 00:19:42,844
My friends...
213
00:19:44,455 --> 00:19:47,837
there is one aspect of slavery so foul...
214
00:19:48,935 --> 00:19:52,034
so utterly depraved,
that even we on this platform...
215
00:19:52,103 --> 00:19:54,307
have been loath to raise its specter.
216
00:19:54,887 --> 00:19:56,578
I must admit to you my shame...
217
00:19:56,647 --> 00:19:59,233
to stand before you
with rising indignation.
218
00:19:59,687 --> 00:20:03,965
A decent Christian woman
addressing an audience of her own kind.
219
00:20:05,639 --> 00:20:07,941
Forced to address publicly a sin...
220
00:20:08,903 --> 00:20:12,961
so vile, so vicious and degenerate.
221
00:20:15,175 --> 00:20:17,663
The South's hateful system...
222
00:20:17,735 --> 00:20:21,314
depends on the perpetuation
of its free labor force.
223
00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,592
So where, ladies and gentlemen,
do these new slaves come from...
224
00:20:26,663 --> 00:20:29,630
when the aged and infirm
are worked to death?
225
00:20:29,831 --> 00:20:31,292
Beaten to death.
226
00:20:32,967 --> 00:20:35,422
Why, they come from slavery itself.
227
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,326
For the true crop
of a Southern plantation...
228
00:20:39,399 --> 00:20:41,090
is a human crop.
229
00:20:46,215 --> 00:20:47,808
Yes, my friends.
230
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:50,596
The plantations of the South
are nothing more...
231
00:20:50,663 --> 00:20:52,900
than black breeding farms.
232
00:20:52,999 --> 00:20:56,415
She's an offense to all the women
in the abolitionist movement.
233
00:20:57,415 --> 00:20:59,870
Giant bordellos, owned and operated...
234
00:20:59,943 --> 00:21:02,179
by a degenerate aristocracy.
235
00:21:06,727 --> 00:21:09,378
Men, who in their lust...
236
00:21:10,023 --> 00:21:11,649
force their animal passions...
237
00:21:11,719 --> 00:21:15,974
on the defenseless bodies of the women
and children they hold prisoner.
238
00:21:18,311 --> 00:21:22,687
God in his heaven cries out
against these crazed satyrs...
239
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:26,753
and every upright human heart
cries out in moral outrage.
240
00:21:26,823 --> 00:21:28,230
No!
241
00:21:45,191 --> 00:21:47,613
Orry, you know she doesn't speak
for all of us.
242
00:21:47,687 --> 00:21:50,654
Not for you,
but for everyone else here she does.
243
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,814
You mustn't leave
while Miss Hazard is speaking.
244
00:21:54,887 --> 00:21:57,604
I'm afraid, sir, I have a train to catch.
245
00:21:57,671 --> 00:22:00,257
To South Carolina.
I have some blacks to breed.
246
00:22:13,423 --> 00:22:14,667
Pardon me.
247
00:22:14,735 --> 00:22:16,197
Dear lady.
248
00:22:17,455 --> 00:22:20,586
You were magnificent.
You were beyond description.
249
00:22:21,103 --> 00:22:24,398
Thank you, Mr. Greene.
I only spoke what was in my heart.
250
00:22:24,464 --> 00:22:26,569
You said things that have not been said...
251
00:22:26,639 --> 00:22:29,705
that cried out for the saying.
The passion of your address...
252
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:34,857
your physical presentation,
stirred me deeply.
253
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,446
You do me an honor to say so.
254
00:22:38,511 --> 00:22:40,398
You've done us the honor.
255
00:22:40,751 --> 00:22:44,941
I wonder, might we share a late supper...
256
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:47,723
to further discuss my reaction?
257
00:22:48,047 --> 00:22:51,462
I've taken the liberty
of requesting a small repast.
258
00:22:52,047 --> 00:22:54,568
I'm most grateful for your approval, sir.
259
00:22:55,503 --> 00:22:57,870
But I seem to remember
that you are a married man.
260
00:22:57,935 --> 00:23:01,230
My marital status
should present no obstacle...
261
00:23:02,031 --> 00:23:03,438
to the cause of freedom.
262
00:23:03,503 --> 00:23:05,576
Nor does it, Mr. Greene.
263
00:23:05,903 --> 00:23:08,750
But freedom must ever be coupled
with responsibility...
264
00:23:08,815 --> 00:23:11,336
as our Founding Fathers so aptly put it.
265
00:23:11,407 --> 00:23:13,130
Perhaps another time...
266
00:23:13,999 --> 00:23:16,006
when you yourself are free.
267
00:23:42,607 --> 00:23:43,817
Madeline!
268
00:23:56,111 --> 00:23:58,250
Don't you answer when I call you?
269
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:01,254
I'm sorry, Justin. I was taking a nap.
I didn't hear.
270
00:24:01,743 --> 00:24:05,355
You hear well enough
when your slave women holler, don't you?
271
00:24:07,887 --> 00:24:10,604
I heard about your latest errand of mercy.
272
00:24:11,055 --> 00:24:13,160
I just do what I can to help.
273
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,322
You have quite a reputation around here.
274
00:24:18,191 --> 00:24:20,014
Madeline, the merciful.
275
00:24:20,463 --> 00:24:23,846
Madeline, the pregnant niggers' angel.
276
00:24:24,175 --> 00:24:25,636
Justin, please.
277
00:24:26,735 --> 00:24:27,735
Damn it!
278
00:24:27,791 --> 00:24:31,108
I don't want my wife spending all her time
playing midwife to my slaves.
279
00:24:31,184 --> 00:24:34,053
Perhaps you'd rather risk
losing the children.
280
00:24:34,543 --> 00:24:37,609
You're worried about the children,
are you, my dear?
281
00:24:39,087 --> 00:24:42,665
I'm worried about children, too. My own.
282
00:24:43,664 --> 00:24:45,802
The ones you're not giving me.
283
00:24:47,631 --> 00:24:49,038
I want a son.
284
00:24:51,247 --> 00:24:53,614
I want a boy of my own, that's all.
285
00:24:56,271 --> 00:24:59,435
Damn it, woman.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
286
00:25:00,335 --> 00:25:02,245
Until you give me the son I want...
287
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:05,134
you stay away from those black sluts,
you understand me?
288
00:25:06,447 --> 00:25:07,757
You better.
289
00:25:09,103 --> 00:25:10,826
I'll be watching you.
290
00:25:16,751 --> 00:25:18,180
Remember that.
291
00:26:12,271 --> 00:26:15,370
I've ridden by 100 times
hoping you would be here.
292
00:26:16,239 --> 00:26:19,403
I tried to stay away, too, but I couldn't.
293
00:26:20,175 --> 00:26:23,044
There hasn't been a day
I haven't thought about you.
294
00:26:38,703 --> 00:26:41,518
Madeline, leave Justin.
We could run away.
295
00:26:42,479 --> 00:26:45,130
- I can't bear to be-
- We can't.
296
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:48,806
I will not let him stop us.
297
00:26:50,255 --> 00:26:52,142
You don't know him.
He'd hunt us like slaves.
298
00:26:52,207 --> 00:26:54,924
We'd be fugitives,
with no legal or moral right on our side...
299
00:26:54,991 --> 00:26:57,642
I don't care about right, I care about you.
300
00:26:57,711 --> 00:26:59,369
Divorce him, Madeline.
301
00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:03,432
I can't. If I even suggest it, I think...
302
00:27:11,727 --> 00:27:13,221
In my heart...
303
00:27:15,183 --> 00:27:16,842
I'm married to you.
304
00:27:19,087 --> 00:27:21,192
And I always will be.
305
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:08,844
Get away from the building!
306
00:30:08,911 --> 00:30:11,780
Get those men over there!
Set up a stretcher for the wounded.
307
00:30:14,864 --> 00:30:17,733
- Come on.
- Mr. Hazard, there's men in there dying.
308
00:30:17,807 --> 00:30:19,879
I'll go in and get them.
Take care of that man.
309
00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:22,985
Mr. Hazard, you can't go in there.
It's an inferno.
310
00:30:33,807 --> 00:30:36,775
Help me! Help! I'm over here!
311
00:31:05,615 --> 00:31:06,760
Are you all right?
312
00:31:06,831 --> 00:31:08,325
Run to town and get the doctor.
313
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:10,538
Get all three of them,
and get back here fast.
314
00:31:10,607 --> 00:31:13,454
Yes, sir. I already sent Hawkins,
but I'll go myself.
315
00:31:13,551 --> 00:31:14,828
You sure you're not hurt?
316
00:31:14,895 --> 00:31:17,677
Wiley, why did it blow?
317
00:31:18,224 --> 00:31:19,652
Pressure, sir.
318
00:31:19,887 --> 00:31:22,309
The wrought iron bands,
the reinforcement bands.
319
00:31:22,383 --> 00:31:23,844
I ordered them installed!
320
00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:27,661
Yes, sir,
but Mr. Stanley canceled the order.
321
00:31:34,575 --> 00:31:36,463
Why did you cancel my order, Stanley?
322
00:31:36,527 --> 00:31:38,469
The shipments were off.
We couldn't afford it.
323
00:31:38,543 --> 00:31:42,504
Couldn't afford it? You think we can afford
those dead workmen?
324
00:31:46,511 --> 00:31:49,446
They have families
that have depended on us, Stanley.
325
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:52,748
Families who are now
without husbands or fathers.
326
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:58,733
The bands will go on immediately.
I'll reissue the order.
327
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:01,384
- You can't. You don't have the authority.
- The hell I haven't.
328
00:32:01,455 --> 00:32:03,822
The only place your name
takes precedence over mine...
329
00:32:03,887 --> 00:32:05,164
is on the bank drafts.
330
00:32:05,615 --> 00:32:09,925
We'll reinforce those bands immediately,
and we'll pay $5,000 compensation...
331
00:32:09,999 --> 00:32:11,592
miserable comfort though it is...
332
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:14,085
to the families of the men
who died at Hazard Iron.
333
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:15,402
That's insane. I won't do it.
334
00:32:15,471 --> 00:32:18,285
It's not insane.
It's the only decent thing to do...
335
00:32:18,351 --> 00:32:20,293
and you will do it, Stanley.
336
00:32:20,367 --> 00:32:22,310
You will sign those bank drafts...
337
00:32:22,383 --> 00:32:24,652
or I'll come down here
with 100 mill workers...
338
00:32:24,719 --> 00:32:26,409
and let them convince you.
339
00:32:32,431 --> 00:32:34,471
I've just come from the foundry.
340
00:32:34,927 --> 00:32:37,829
- I was shocked by what I saw there.
- I know.
341
00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:41,868
This new system
simply is not going to work.
342
00:32:41,935 --> 00:32:43,845
We can't have this division of authority.
343
00:32:43,919 --> 00:32:47,180
I know that, Stanley,
and I'm going to do something about it.
344
00:32:47,311 --> 00:32:50,606
I've learned a great deal about Hazard Iron
since your father died.
345
00:32:50,671 --> 00:32:53,006
Not particularly because I wanted to...
346
00:32:53,775 --> 00:32:57,703
but because I was compelled to learn
by my responsibility for the foundry.
347
00:32:57,807 --> 00:32:59,466
That's an embarrassment to me, Mother.
348
00:32:59,535 --> 00:33:01,804
As if you didn't have confidence
in my ability.
349
00:33:01,871 --> 00:33:04,010
I'm sorry if it seems so, dear.
350
00:33:04,784 --> 00:33:05,961
Mother...
351
00:33:06,479 --> 00:33:09,959
By giving you
financial control of Hazard Iron...
352
00:33:10,031 --> 00:33:11,919
I've let you prevent George...
353
00:33:11,983 --> 00:33:14,220
time and again,
from making improvements.
354
00:33:14,287 --> 00:33:17,189
You refused to burn coal
instead of charcoal...
355
00:33:17,264 --> 00:33:20,330
even after George proved coal
was more efficient.
356
00:33:20,463 --> 00:33:24,456
You refused to buy new equipment,
or repair the old...
357
00:33:24,527 --> 00:33:27,048
and now this horrible explosion.
358
00:33:27,471 --> 00:33:28,681
Dear God.
359
00:33:30,543 --> 00:33:32,267
That was not my fault.
360
00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:39,751
I'm going to have to try a change, Stanley.
361
00:33:39,823 --> 00:33:42,060
I'm going to give George
control of the money...
362
00:33:42,127 --> 00:33:43,785
and see how things progress.
363
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:47,816
Mother, you can't take that
away from me, too.
364
00:33:47,887 --> 00:33:51,148
You and George will still have equal say
in everything else.
365
00:33:51,727 --> 00:33:55,720
My decision is made, Stanley.
I don't want to hear another word about it.
366
00:34:04,527 --> 00:34:08,105
I just don't understand you.
Why weren't you stronger with her?
367
00:34:08,175 --> 00:34:10,477
What could I do? Her mind was made up.
368
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:13,383
You could have made a stand.
369
00:34:13,455 --> 00:34:16,553
Instead you let your brother George
walk all over you.
370
00:34:16,975 --> 00:34:18,885
Mother says we're equal.
371
00:34:22,703 --> 00:34:27,013
Except that George now has the money,
which means he really has the power.
372
00:34:28,527 --> 00:34:30,599
- What can we do?
- Nothing.
373
00:34:32,879 --> 00:34:34,024
Except wait.
374
00:34:37,167 --> 00:34:40,396
And watch for a time
when we can get our own back.
375
00:34:42,415 --> 00:34:43,757
That could take years.
376
00:34:43,823 --> 00:34:47,084
Yes, Stanley.
All because you weren't man enough now.
377
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,279
We'll have our chance.
378
00:34:55,311 --> 00:34:59,108
We'll get back everything
your brother George has stolen from us.
379
00:34:59,663 --> 00:35:01,703
Him and that Irish slut of his.
380
00:35:04,143 --> 00:35:05,931
We're going to make them sorry.
381
00:35:07,087 --> 00:35:08,581
Very sorry indeed.
382
00:35:19,878 --> 00:35:21,285
My dear friends...
383
00:35:21,311 --> 00:35:23,864
as we commit Tillet Main
to God's care today...
384
00:35:23,935 --> 00:35:26,008
we must remember these words:
385
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:28,413
"In my father's house are many mansions:
386
00:35:28,479 --> 00:35:31,000
"If it were not so, I would have told you.
387
00:35:31,071 --> 00:35:33,437
"I go to prepare a place for you."
388
00:35:33,983 --> 00:35:38,391
And I know that the Lord has prepared
a special place for Tillet Main.
389
00:35:38,463 --> 00:35:40,470
His family must not grieve.
390
00:35:40,863 --> 00:35:44,159
His loving daughters, Brett and Ashton...
391
00:35:44,671 --> 00:35:47,322
must all remember him in their hearts...
392
00:35:47,391 --> 00:35:50,652
and rejoice that this fine man...
393
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,338
this loving father and husband...
394
00:35:53,407 --> 00:35:57,782
is now with our Lord and savior
for all eternity.
395
00:35:57,855 --> 00:35:58,902
Amen.
396
00:37:53,375 --> 00:37:55,001
Mother, you ought to sleep.
397
00:37:55,903 --> 00:37:57,245
I will, Orry.
398
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:03,582
Father would've wanted you
to take care of yourself.
399
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,890
I can't believe he's gone.
400
00:38:16,991 --> 00:38:18,518
He loved you very much.
401
00:38:19,551 --> 00:38:21,078
I know.
402
00:38:28,511 --> 00:38:31,675
I'm afraid
he didn't always know how to show it.
403
00:38:42,431 --> 00:38:45,114
Lord, I'm going to miss him so.
404
00:39:00,799 --> 00:39:02,326
They do care about you.
405
00:39:02,783 --> 00:39:06,132
They don't care about me.
They treat me like I'm a stranger.
406
00:39:07,615 --> 00:39:11,096
Hell, if it wasn't for my last name,
they wouldn't have me here at all.
407
00:39:13,279 --> 00:39:15,319
I am a stranger. I know that.
408
00:39:15,903 --> 00:39:17,594
But blood is blood.
409
00:39:18,911 --> 00:39:20,951
You think they'd honor that.
410
00:39:22,335 --> 00:39:24,058
A cousin's a cousin...
411
00:39:24,543 --> 00:39:26,780
even if his parents were poor.
412
00:39:27,455 --> 00:39:29,724
They done made a home for you here.
413
00:39:30,047 --> 00:39:31,127
Some home.
414
00:39:32,959 --> 00:39:35,959
Old Clarissa, she
treats me like I'm a child.
415
00:39:37,023 --> 00:39:39,096
Orry, the big master,
he's as distant as a king.
416
00:39:39,167 --> 00:39:41,588
I guess that's what he thinks he is.
417
00:39:45,631 --> 00:39:47,835
He pays me no mind at all.
418
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,727
I'm no more family to them than you are.
419
00:39:52,895 --> 00:39:55,481
Just like another one of their slaves,
or might as well be.
420
00:39:55,551 --> 00:39:57,940
Maybe you don't like the way that feels.
421
00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:06,077
No, I don't.
422
00:40:10,975 --> 00:40:13,659
You're the only one
who understands, Semiramis.
423
00:40:13,983 --> 00:40:15,870
Sure, I understand.
424
00:40:17,471 --> 00:40:20,253
I've been a slave my whole life.
425
00:40:22,815 --> 00:40:24,724
That don't mean that I liked it.
426
00:40:30,944 --> 00:40:33,213
I'm sorry it has to be that way.
427
00:40:39,423 --> 00:40:41,333
You best be getting back.
428
00:40:43,711 --> 00:40:45,304
It's getting late.
429
00:41:16,575 --> 00:41:20,022
Mr. Orry, sir. You're out doing
early enough this morning.
430
00:41:20,735 --> 00:41:24,281
Best to take care of hard business early,
and that's what I'm here to do.
431
00:41:25,151 --> 00:41:26,460
Is that so?
432
00:41:27,679 --> 00:41:30,549
I'm releasing you
from your employ at Mont Royal.
433
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:34,388
You have a month's pay and your choice
of a horse from the working stable.
434
00:41:34,463 --> 00:41:35,463
Why?
435
00:41:36,224 --> 00:41:38,940
I never liked you,
nor the way you did your job.
436
00:41:39,487 --> 00:41:40,764
Is that right?
437
00:41:40,991 --> 00:41:45,563
And how is that, sir? I always did my best.
Your father never complained of me.
438
00:41:45,631 --> 00:41:47,092
My father and I are different men.
439
00:41:47,167 --> 00:41:49,622
Now that he's gone,
I gotta do what seems best to me.
440
00:41:49,695 --> 00:41:51,702
Take a man's place
that's worked like a nigger...
441
00:41:51,775 --> 00:41:54,142
Anger will not serve you, Mr. Jones.
442
00:41:54,367 --> 00:41:55,367
No.
443
00:41:56,575 --> 00:41:59,128
What hard work won't do,
talk will never help.
444
00:42:00,191 --> 00:42:01,467
But you hear me.
445
00:42:01,535 --> 00:42:05,016
The day may come when you'll regret
having thrown me out like this.
446
00:42:05,663 --> 00:42:07,256
I promise you that.
447
00:42:08,831 --> 00:42:09,976
I think not.
448
00:42:11,327 --> 00:42:12,571
Good day to you.
449
00:42:17,311 --> 00:42:19,220
Semiramis, get back here!
450
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:43,581
Barkeep, make us another round here.
451
00:42:49,215 --> 00:42:52,030
What have we here?
What a sorry nest of drunkards.
452
00:42:52,095 --> 00:42:54,910
Three more to swell the company,
by the looks of you.
453
00:42:54,975 --> 00:42:57,309
Never mind. You'll take our money.
454
00:42:57,663 --> 00:43:00,314
Three Barbados, the full measure.
455
00:43:09,503 --> 00:43:12,186
Can't find a way
to get away from that tribe.
456
00:43:14,271 --> 00:43:15,700
What's that you say, Salem?
457
00:43:15,775 --> 00:43:19,190
None of your business, boy.
Keep your ugly Main nose in your own ale.
458
00:43:22,655 --> 00:43:24,444
You insult my family.
459
00:43:25,151 --> 00:43:28,861
Your family? Is that what you call them?
460
00:43:30,591 --> 00:43:32,696
That ain't what they call you.
461
00:43:33,151 --> 00:43:37,558
So happens I'm not in love
with the Mont Royal branch of the family...
462
00:43:37,791 --> 00:43:40,638
but I've talked to some of the slaves
about you, Mr. Jones.
463
00:43:41,695 --> 00:43:44,794
Fact is, I defend you.
464
00:43:46,271 --> 00:43:48,890
They said you weren't fit
to sleep with pigs.
465
00:43:49,919 --> 00:43:51,642
But I said you were.
466
00:45:02,175 --> 00:45:03,833
Look out, he's got a gun!
467
00:45:04,703 --> 00:45:05,703
Hold it.
468
00:45:08,895 --> 00:45:10,007
You three.
469
00:45:11,903 --> 00:45:13,147
Out of here.
470
00:45:13,215 --> 00:45:16,477
Move smartly, now.
Come on, Salem, you heard me.
471
00:45:16,895 --> 00:45:20,026
The constable will be paying you a visit
to account for all this.
472
00:45:20,095 --> 00:45:23,837
Good lord, Charles. Brawling in a tavern
like a common cotton chopper!
473
00:45:28,319 --> 00:45:29,748
What does it matter?
474
00:45:30,431 --> 00:45:33,148
Don't you have any pride in yourself,
if not in us?
475
00:45:33,215 --> 00:45:36,663
In fairness to the boy, sir,
it was Jones that went for him first.
476
00:45:36,799 --> 00:45:39,995
That's all well and good, sir,
but a gentleman...
477
00:45:40,511 --> 00:45:43,740
does not lower himself to a fistfight
with a lout like Jones.
478
00:45:46,847 --> 00:45:48,570
You're a disgrace, Charles.
479
00:45:49,759 --> 00:45:51,221
You're not my father!
480
00:45:51,455 --> 00:45:55,165
You don't care about me, none of you do.
And I don't care what you say!
481
00:46:53,823 --> 00:46:54,903
Breathe in.
482
00:46:57,471 --> 00:46:59,576
That has to be tight enough, Ashton.
483
00:46:59,647 --> 00:47:02,877
What would you know about it, anyway?
You're still a baby.
484
00:47:03,231 --> 00:47:06,548
No amount of lacing would make you look
one bit better than a pine board.
485
00:47:06,624 --> 00:47:07,900
Now pull!
486
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:14,458
Do you always have to say things
like that?
487
00:47:14,527 --> 00:47:15,836
It's true.
488
00:47:16,255 --> 00:47:19,037
Besides, babies are sweet...
489
00:47:19,104 --> 00:47:21,787
and you have sweet baby skin...
490
00:47:22,015 --> 00:47:24,088
and sweet baby bloomers...
491
00:47:24,287 --> 00:47:27,004
and you'll probably still be
just baby-sweet...
492
00:47:27,103 --> 00:47:29,405
when you're a sweet old maid.
493
00:47:38,591 --> 00:47:41,242
Cousin Charles. He's just getting in.
494
00:47:41,311 --> 00:47:43,253
Been out all night again.
495
00:47:44,031 --> 00:47:46,038
You kind of fancy him, don't you?
496
00:47:47,679 --> 00:47:49,501
I just let on like I do, you know...
497
00:47:49,567 --> 00:47:52,470
to make the poor orphan boy
feel accepted.
498
00:47:52,671 --> 00:47:55,453
I was real nice to him once,
and do you know what he said...
499
00:47:55,519 --> 00:47:57,908
- what he had the nerve to say to me?
- What?
500
00:47:58,431 --> 00:48:01,246
He said,
"Keep your distance, cousin dear...
501
00:48:01,311 --> 00:48:02,904
"I'm wise to you."
502
00:48:04,191 --> 00:48:07,900
What do I care? He'll be dead soon enough.
503
00:48:08,799 --> 00:48:10,425
Dead? What are you saying?
504
00:48:10,879 --> 00:48:13,083
Where do you suppose he's been all night?
505
00:48:13,343 --> 00:48:15,198
Off sparking Sue Marie Smith.
506
00:48:16,319 --> 00:48:18,905
But she's engaged to her cousin, Whitney.
507
00:48:20,127 --> 00:48:21,949
Of course she is, dummy!
508
00:48:22,335 --> 00:48:25,182
And her cousin Whitney
will just kill Charles for it.
509
00:48:26,207 --> 00:48:28,149
Though he ought to kill Sue Marie.
510
00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:31,709
The men say her britches
are like a basket of coals.
511
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,654
Of course, you wouldn't know
what that means, but I do.
512
00:48:41,664 --> 00:48:44,533
Now, what is it exactly you want,
Mr. Huntoon?
513
00:48:45,247 --> 00:48:47,898
Sir, I seek the approval
of your bountiful heart.
514
00:48:47,967 --> 00:48:52,059
In short, sir, I beg your kind permission
to pay formal court to your daughter.
515
00:48:52,703 --> 00:48:53,816
My daughter?
516
00:48:55,039 --> 00:48:58,073
No, sir. Damn, I misspoke myself.
517
00:48:59,295 --> 00:49:01,401
Your sister, Miss Ashton, sir.
518
00:49:03,135 --> 00:49:05,754
Are you sure
you know what you're doing, Huntoon?
519
00:49:05,823 --> 00:49:07,710
My love leads me on, sir.
520
00:49:09,343 --> 00:49:11,645
I worship the very ground she walks on.
521
00:49:16,031 --> 00:49:18,878
Did I say something
that I should not have said, sir?
522
00:49:20,671 --> 00:49:23,518
I guess that's all in
the point of view, sir.
523
00:49:25,727 --> 00:49:28,377
There, I'm already tight as a drum inside.
524
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:33,876
When are you and James Huntoon
announcing your engagement?
525
00:49:34,111 --> 00:49:36,314
Whatever makes you think we will?
526
00:49:36,671 --> 00:49:40,501
If not, then why is he downstairs
asking Orry's permission...
527
00:49:40,575 --> 00:49:42,779
to come courting,
if you have no intention...
528
00:49:42,847 --> 00:49:45,051
He's got all the intentions, child.
529
00:49:46,975 --> 00:49:49,430
What do I know what an old man thinks?
530
00:49:50,335 --> 00:49:51,676
He's more than 20.
531
00:49:54,431 --> 00:49:56,253
Here's how I feel about him.
532
00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:01,244
Don't laugh. It's true.
533
00:50:01,887 --> 00:50:04,702
I can't stand his puffy old face...
534
00:50:04,863 --> 00:50:06,685
his squinty little eyes...
535
00:50:07,743 --> 00:50:09,816
and his slippery old kisses!
536
00:50:10,847 --> 00:50:11,992
Kisses?
537
00:50:13,183 --> 00:50:15,550
You let him kiss you already?
538
00:50:15,744 --> 00:50:19,355
Just a little old taste of honey, you baby,
to sweeten him up.
539
00:50:21,183 --> 00:50:23,190
But if you don't even like him...
540
00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:25,268
how could you?
541
00:50:25,439 --> 00:50:27,545
What's like got to do with anything?
542
00:50:27,871 --> 00:50:31,034
Everybody says James
is going to be real important some day.
543
00:50:31,391 --> 00:50:35,166
A gal can't have too many important men
courting her, now can she?
544
00:50:37,055 --> 00:50:40,187
Ashton, can't you ever be serious?
545
00:50:40,415 --> 00:50:41,975
But I am serious.
546
00:50:42,943 --> 00:50:46,423
Lord, I might even marry
slobbery old James.
547
00:50:47,967 --> 00:50:50,422
That is, if I can find
some advantage in it.
548
00:50:54,335 --> 00:50:57,947
In short, sir, I make bold
to consider myself qualified...
549
00:50:58,591 --> 00:51:02,420
perhaps even highly qualified,
to offer myself as a candidate...
550
00:51:03,007 --> 00:51:04,763
for your sister's fair hand.
551
00:51:05,311 --> 00:51:07,732
"Offer yourself" is a good choice of words.
552
00:51:07,999 --> 00:51:10,617
Perhaps you already discount me,
for some reason?
553
00:51:11,199 --> 00:51:14,614
- No, James, I don't discount you at all.
- I would hope not, sir.
554
00:51:16,031 --> 00:51:19,446
As you know, sir, I am South Carolina's
youngest attorney-at-law.
555
00:51:20,064 --> 00:51:21,787
I am a champion of states' rights...
556
00:51:21,855 --> 00:51:24,724
and a follower
of the noble John C. Calhoun.
557
00:51:25,695 --> 00:51:28,859
Since his passing, I have begun to aspire
to high political office...
558
00:51:28,927 --> 00:51:31,131
so that I may continue his great work.
559
00:51:32,767 --> 00:51:36,280
And there are those who feel that my goal
is not an impossible one.
560
00:51:37,759 --> 00:51:38,806
Excuse me.
561
00:51:40,063 --> 00:51:42,300
Orry, I need to speak with you right away.
562
00:51:42,367 --> 00:51:43,676
If you'll excuse us.
563
00:51:43,967 --> 00:51:46,007
I may, then, consider my suit...
564
00:51:46,431 --> 00:51:48,700
as not entirely unwelcome to Mont Royal?
565
00:51:49,215 --> 00:51:53,078
You may, and God speed and guide you.
You're going to need it.
566
00:51:53,855 --> 00:51:56,277
Thank you, sir. I'll find my own way.
567
00:52:04,159 --> 00:52:07,956
This time he's really done it.
Your cousin Charles is in serious trouble.
568
00:52:08,767 --> 00:52:09,978
You must come.
569
00:52:32,703 --> 00:52:34,710
Please state your business, sir.
570
00:52:34,783 --> 00:52:36,955
My name is Mr. Smith Dawkins...
571
00:52:37,407 --> 00:52:40,703
and I am representative
and relative of Mr. Whitney Smith...
572
00:52:41,727 --> 00:52:45,240
who last evening came upon
Mr. Charles Main, of this plantation...
573
00:52:45,311 --> 00:52:48,213
in dalliance with his fiancée...
574
00:52:48,287 --> 00:52:50,294
Miss Sue Marie Smith.
575
00:52:51,711 --> 00:52:55,967
The gentlemen exchanged words,
whereupon Mr. Main struck Mr. Smith...
576
00:52:56,415 --> 00:52:57,844
a severe blow.
577
00:52:59,007 --> 00:53:01,396
Whereupon Mr. Smith...
578
00:53:02,975 --> 00:53:04,601
demanded satisfaction.
579
00:53:06,783 --> 00:53:09,881
In consequence of which,
I'm here to make arrangements.
580
00:53:14,911 --> 00:53:18,620
- Will you be acting as Mr. Main's second?
- I will not.
581
00:53:21,855 --> 00:53:25,750
Mr. Main is too young to be fighting duels.
Besides, they're against the law.
582
00:53:25,824 --> 00:53:29,533
He is old enough to have given offense
in a totally adult way.
583
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:35,029
And as you very well know, sir,
the Code Duello...
584
00:53:35,231 --> 00:53:38,646
is in common practice
despite South Carolina law.
585
00:53:40,191 --> 00:53:42,842
Now if you will kindly direct me
to Mr. Main's second...
586
00:53:42,911 --> 00:53:45,212
or better still, to Mr. Main himself.
587
00:53:46,847 --> 00:53:49,564
I'd be delighted to,
but I don't know where he is.
588
00:53:51,199 --> 00:53:53,948
You are determined to go through
with this farce, aren't you?
589
00:53:54,015 --> 00:53:57,114
Mr. Whitney Smith
does not consider it a farce, sir.
590
00:53:57,311 --> 00:54:00,245
- And neither will your kinsman.
- To hell with it, then!
591
00:54:00,384 --> 00:54:03,613
- I'll stand as second.
- We promise absolute discretion, sir.
592
00:54:03,807 --> 00:54:05,400
No witnesses other than family.
593
00:54:05,471 --> 00:54:08,668
In the case of the Smith family,
that could run into the hundreds.
594
00:54:08,735 --> 00:54:10,677
We will keep our number
to no more than 12...
595
00:54:10,751 --> 00:54:13,020
and you must give similar assurance.
596
00:54:13,727 --> 00:54:16,574
The site will be the clearing at Six Oaks.
597
00:54:17,151 --> 00:54:20,664
The time, Tuesday morning, sunrise.
598
00:54:21,791 --> 00:54:23,002
The weapons...
599
00:54:24,159 --> 00:54:26,679
conventional dueling pistols.
600
00:54:28,511 --> 00:54:31,806
Assuming, of course, these arrangements
are agreeable to you, sir.
601
00:54:31,871 --> 00:54:33,943
They are not! None of it is.
602
00:54:36,575 --> 00:54:37,753
But I accept.
603
00:54:39,295 --> 00:54:40,724
Good day, sir.
604
00:54:47,903 --> 00:54:50,008
Did you put a stop to this insanity?
605
00:54:50,687 --> 00:54:52,247
Where is that lunatic?
606
00:55:06,815 --> 00:55:09,401
One, two, three, four...
607
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:11,509
five, six, seven...
608
00:55:11,583 --> 00:55:13,590
eight, nine, ten.
609
00:55:18,271 --> 00:55:19,548
You're now dead.
610
00:55:22,527 --> 00:55:23,989
All I need is practice.
611
00:55:24,063 --> 00:55:26,452
That and some sense
of what you're practicing.
612
00:55:26,527 --> 00:55:30,237
Smith Dawkins just left. You got
until Tuesday morning to save your life.
613
00:55:30,591 --> 00:55:33,820
- What's that to you?
- I don't want to be further disgraced...
614
00:55:34,207 --> 00:55:36,793
- so I have just become your second.
- Why you?
615
00:55:37,279 --> 00:55:39,832
This is my affair,
and I'm not afraid of that lily-white...
616
00:55:39,903 --> 00:55:41,245
You should be.
617
00:55:41,791 --> 00:55:44,725
He will undoubtedly kill you,
as unprepared as you are.
618
00:55:45,055 --> 00:55:46,364
He's killed men before.
619
00:55:46,431 --> 00:55:48,439
- I can handle him.
- But you can't.
620
00:55:49,471 --> 00:55:53,016
This is not just another one
of your country brawls, Charles.
621
00:55:53,215 --> 00:55:55,964
This is a duel,
theoretically between gentlemen.
622
00:55:56,991 --> 00:55:59,413
It will be fought with rules, strict rules.
623
00:55:59,583 --> 00:56:02,649
You are a Main, Charles. You hear me?
624
00:56:03,455 --> 00:56:04,917
You are a Main.
625
00:56:05,311 --> 00:56:08,573
And I can't have you dying on me
and sullying the family name.
626
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:11,774
If there's one reason on earth...
627
00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:14,741
I wouldn't want
to get my brains blown out, that's it.
628
00:56:15,711 --> 00:56:18,558
I'm going to teach you how to shoot
and how to win.
629
00:56:18,687 --> 00:56:20,345
72 hours is all we got.
630
00:56:20,415 --> 00:56:23,546
We'll get you some proper pistols first.
Come on, get on your horse.
631
00:56:26,399 --> 00:56:28,887
Four, five, six...
632
00:56:29,184 --> 00:56:32,250
seven, eight, nine, ten.
633
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,239
No.
634
00:56:35,871 --> 00:56:39,133
You're rushing your aim,
and you're still jerking the trigger.
635
00:56:41,343 --> 00:56:44,988
Fear will push you into haste,
and haste will push you into the grave.
636
00:56:45,215 --> 00:56:47,964
Deliberate. Be deliberate. Again.
637
00:57:09,631 --> 00:57:11,453
Perfect! Now, again...
638
00:57:11,583 --> 00:57:14,430
exactly the same as before,
until it's second nature.
639
00:57:15,327 --> 00:57:16,985
We may save your life yet.
640
00:57:17,471 --> 00:57:19,293
Thanks for saying "we."
641
00:57:20,064 --> 00:57:22,998
Don't get sentimental on me.
It's a bit early for that.
642
00:59:12,031 --> 00:59:15,413
I know that you're scared,
but that's to your advantage.
643
00:59:16,159 --> 00:59:18,264
That peacock over there...
644
00:59:19,039 --> 00:59:21,494
he's too stupid to be scared yet.
645
00:59:24,159 --> 00:59:27,158
Look at him. He's keeping his coat on.
646
00:59:28,095 --> 00:59:30,201
Appearances mean more to the fool
than his life.
647
00:59:30,271 --> 00:59:33,718
And since he isn't worried,
he might not take sufficient care.
648
00:59:35,999 --> 00:59:36,999
You will.
649
00:59:39,295 --> 00:59:41,532
Now remember, take your time...
650
00:59:42,175 --> 00:59:45,558
be calm, deliberate, and you will drop him.
651
00:59:46,623 --> 00:59:47,867
You are a Main.
652
01:01:09,471 --> 01:01:10,780
You must...
653
01:01:12,255 --> 01:01:14,142
You must stand, Whitney.
654
01:01:17,823 --> 01:01:18,936
Stand!
655
01:01:47,391 --> 01:01:50,239
Acknowledge their tribute.
It's you they're applauding.
656
01:01:50,303 --> 01:01:53,532
- Me? But that's his family.
- The man proved himself a coward.
657
01:01:55,679 --> 01:01:58,068
They're showing their admiration
for your courage...
658
01:01:58,143 --> 01:02:00,991
and for your generosity in spirit
in not killing him.
659
01:02:01,951 --> 01:02:05,114
You have shown every attribute...
660
01:02:05,695 --> 01:02:08,793
of a Carolina gentleman today.
I'm proud of you, Charles.
661
01:02:32,383 --> 01:02:33,627
Here's to life.
662
01:02:34,463 --> 01:02:36,023
Thanks to you.
663
01:02:44,031 --> 01:02:45,275
I owe you mine.
664
01:02:45,983 --> 01:02:49,114
All the time, all the
care you took with me.
665
01:02:51,007 --> 01:02:54,269
- Without you, he'd have killed me certain.
- Probably.
666
01:02:58,335 --> 01:03:00,724
But what you did, you did.
667
01:03:03,423 --> 01:03:06,838
Always before, when I'd fight,
everyone disapproved.
668
01:03:08,575 --> 01:03:10,517
What made it so different?
669
01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:16,827
The rules, Charles.
670
01:03:18,783 --> 01:03:22,460
There's a strict and definite code of honor
among gentlemen...
671
01:03:22,527 --> 01:03:24,316
that must be observed...
672
01:03:24,767 --> 01:03:27,068
even in a fight. Especially in a fight.
673
01:03:30,143 --> 01:03:31,485
Orry, I want that.
674
01:03:32,927 --> 01:03:34,487
To be a man of honor.
675
01:03:35,647 --> 01:03:36,647
Like you.
676
01:03:46,367 --> 01:03:48,953
Do you think... Is there a chance...
677
01:03:50,687 --> 01:03:52,541
that I could go to West Point?
678
01:03:57,215 --> 01:03:59,703
You'd never pass the entrance exams,
not now.
679
01:04:02,591 --> 01:04:05,755
You have the intelligence,
but you don't have the education.
680
01:04:14,111 --> 01:04:15,737
But if you're serious...
681
01:04:18,431 --> 01:04:20,089
we could have you tutored.
682
01:04:22,303 --> 01:04:25,238
I've never been more serious
about anything in my life.
683
01:04:39,311 --> 01:04:41,220
They're simply exquisite.
684
01:04:41,359 --> 01:04:45,800
And these are my Pride of Pennsylvanias.
It took me years to get them started.
685
01:04:46,064 --> 01:04:47,852
They're Mother's special favorites.
686
01:04:47,919 --> 01:04:51,051
I believe this is the most beautiful garden
I've ever seen.
687
01:04:51,279 --> 01:04:53,864
It should be.
Mother worked on it like a slave.
688
01:04:54,255 --> 01:04:56,622
Over here are my climbing roses.
689
01:04:56,687 --> 01:04:58,792
I've been trying to train them to patterns.
690
01:04:58,863 --> 01:05:02,245
Virgilia, why don't you run and see
if Cook has tea ready?
691
01:05:08,079 --> 01:05:11,592
- The minister's cat is an active cat.
- The minister's cat is an angry cat.
692
01:05:11,663 --> 01:05:15,046
- The minister's cat is an awful cat.
- The minister's cat is an artful cat.
693
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:18,664
- The minister's cat is a beautiful cat.
- The minister's cat is a bashful cat.
694
01:05:18,735 --> 01:05:22,597
- The minister's cat is a bumbling cat.
- The minister's cat is a babbling cat.
695
01:05:22,671 --> 01:05:24,581
You're not still upset
about South Carolina...
696
01:05:24,655 --> 01:05:26,859
trying to secede earlier
this year, are you?
697
01:05:26,927 --> 01:05:29,262
You're damn right I am. Aren't you?
698
01:05:30,959 --> 01:05:32,814
I don't think they'll try it again.
699
01:05:32,879 --> 01:05:36,108
And even if they do, it won't be like
we're two separate countries.
700
01:05:38,031 --> 01:05:40,038
That's exactly what it will be like.
701
01:05:40,111 --> 01:05:43,373
I've got some neighbors up here
who just don't argue...
702
01:05:43,439 --> 01:05:45,806
about slavery and states' rights anymore.
703
01:05:46,575 --> 01:05:48,779
They're beginning to hate Southerners.
704
01:05:48,879 --> 01:05:51,213
Yeah, I hear talk in South Carolina, too.
705
01:05:51,919 --> 01:05:54,636
Some of my neighbors
are none too fond of Yankees.
706
01:05:55,727 --> 01:05:59,524
George, it's not the majority,
it's the fanatics.
707
01:06:09,391 --> 01:06:10,820
I hope you're right.
708
01:06:11,504 --> 01:06:15,300
Because if South Carolina does secede,
a lot of other states will follow.
709
01:06:19,247 --> 01:06:21,319
And we'll all have to choose sides.
710
01:06:31,727 --> 01:06:33,614
Quite a young man, your Charles.
711
01:06:33,679 --> 01:06:36,101
Already the picture
of a Southern gentleman.
712
01:06:38,063 --> 01:06:40,518
Next fall, he and
Billy go off to the Point.
713
01:06:42,159 --> 01:06:46,054
- Plebes together, just like we were.
- What about when they get out, though?
714
01:06:46,831 --> 01:06:49,132
At least you and I could fight
on the same side.
715
01:06:49,199 --> 01:06:50,725
Hardly seems possible.
716
01:06:51,151 --> 01:06:54,151
Turn this boat over, you're going in, too.
717
01:07:06,543 --> 01:07:09,390
There may be hope
for the North and South, after all.
718
01:07:10,127 --> 01:07:11,752
At least, for those two.
719
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:24,204
...and he just stepped right over my feet
when we were dancing.
720
01:07:26,255 --> 01:07:28,360
Ashton, I just have to say it.
721
01:07:29,743 --> 01:07:31,532
I think he is so handsome.
722
01:07:32,655 --> 01:07:33,800
Billy?
723
01:07:35,055 --> 01:07:36,200
He'll do.
724
01:07:36,591 --> 01:07:39,852
Of course, alongside Charles,
most anybody would look good.
725
01:07:40,591 --> 01:07:43,406
She's about the most exciting thing
I ever laid my eyes on.
726
01:07:43,471 --> 01:07:44,998
And 100-proof trouble.
727
01:07:45,519 --> 01:07:47,788
Take my word and give her a wide berth.
728
01:07:48,815 --> 01:07:51,882
Brett's the one you want.
Take another look at her.
729
01:07:55,439 --> 01:07:59,083
Billy, you come here this minute.
I need you.
730
01:07:59,215 --> 01:08:00,215
Coming.
731
01:08:02,831 --> 01:08:06,693
- What are you doing?
- Billy, I'm right here...
732
01:08:07,247 --> 01:08:09,222
and I'm waiting for you.
733
01:08:22,831 --> 01:08:24,619
That's how the wind sets, eh?
734
01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:26,952
Never mind, pretty girl.
735
01:08:27,023 --> 01:08:29,674
He'll get enough of her games
sooner than you think.
736
01:08:29,744 --> 01:08:31,566
Let's take a walk, you and I.
737
01:08:36,207 --> 01:08:38,509
The Fugitive Slave Law
should be repealed altogether.
738
01:08:38,575 --> 01:08:41,292
Changing it is just another scheme
to appease the South.
739
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:44,491
Dear me, I feel so lost when the talk
turns to such things.
740
01:08:44,559 --> 01:08:46,730
Then you should inform yourself.
741
01:08:46,799 --> 01:08:49,133
Lord knows we won't get the truth
from our menfolk.
742
01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:51,402
It was such a pleasant afternoon, Virgilia.
743
01:08:51,471 --> 01:08:55,464
The law as changed, Mrs. Main,
would take fugitive slave cases...
744
01:08:56,015 --> 01:08:58,088
away from individual states...
745
01:08:58,191 --> 01:09:00,940
and it would put it into the hands
of the Federal government.
746
01:09:01,007 --> 01:09:05,197
- Doesn't that benefit the runaways?
- It would seem to, and that's the evil of it.
747
01:09:05,583 --> 01:09:09,674
In reality, the law gives slave catchers
the right to enter free states...
748
01:09:09,775 --> 01:09:11,531
to capture escaped slaves...
749
01:09:11,727 --> 01:09:14,630
even when those states
guarantee slaves their freedom.
750
01:09:14,959 --> 01:09:16,683
It's far worse than before.
751
01:09:17,039 --> 01:09:19,821
Our representatives are only trying
to preserve the Union.
752
01:09:19,887 --> 01:09:23,335
Our representatives are only catering
to Southern gentlemen.
753
01:09:23,504 --> 01:09:25,543
That will be enough, Virgilia.
754
01:09:26,159 --> 01:09:28,069
We are here to enjoy ourselves.
755
01:09:28,207 --> 01:09:32,549
If you don't like Southerners,
why in the world did you invite us here?
756
01:09:32,783 --> 01:09:35,947
- Ashton, sit down and be a lady.
- No, I'll answer the child.
757
01:09:37,551 --> 01:09:40,136
I didn't want you here,
but I wasn't consulted.
758
01:09:41,423 --> 01:09:43,594
But since you are here,
you might take the time...
759
01:09:43,664 --> 01:09:45,671
to listen and to learn the truth.
760
01:09:49,743 --> 01:09:51,368
The truth, Miss Virgilia?
761
01:09:51,567 --> 01:09:54,883
What is that? The same truth
you told in Philadelphia? What was it...
762
01:09:54,959 --> 01:09:57,806
- degenerate Southern satyrs?
- Deny it, if you dare.
763
01:09:58,351 --> 01:10:00,391
I'll shout it from the housetop.
764
01:10:00,463 --> 01:10:03,180
Slave owners
are nothing more than whoremasters.
765
01:10:08,591 --> 01:10:11,591
I'm sorry, George,
but I believe it's time we were leaving.
766
01:10:11,663 --> 01:10:12,972
No, please.
767
01:10:17,135 --> 01:10:19,885
You'll apologize to our friends now.
768
01:10:20,655 --> 01:10:22,378
Your friends, George.
769
01:10:22,799 --> 01:10:25,646
I find their way of life
repellent and wrong.
770
01:10:29,263 --> 01:10:31,597
You can tell your friends
they needn't leave.
771
01:10:31,664 --> 01:10:34,860
I'll be happy to stay in my room
for the rest of their visit...
772
01:10:34,927 --> 01:10:38,757
so I don't have to look at their faces
or hear their damn Southern voices.
773
01:10:41,999 --> 01:10:43,886
Orry, all of you...
774
01:10:44,591 --> 01:10:47,177
please do not let what Virgilia says
or does...
775
01:10:47,631 --> 01:10:49,540
ruin our first summer together.
776
01:10:50,831 --> 01:10:52,260
Please stay with us.
777
01:10:54,767 --> 01:10:55,977
Mother?
778
01:11:08,399 --> 01:11:10,308
All right, George, we'll stay.
779
01:11:23,831 --> 01:11:25,173
Thank you, George.
780
01:11:40,184 --> 01:11:42,256
I've been thinking about something.
781
01:11:42,359 --> 01:11:44,115
Remember the first time I was here...
782
01:11:44,183 --> 01:11:46,768
and we visited Hazard Iron
and we talked about a cotton mill?
783
01:11:46,839 --> 01:11:50,516
Yes, and you made me show you
every part we ever made...
784
01:11:50,583 --> 01:11:51,990
for a textile mill.
785
01:11:54,007 --> 01:11:57,323
George, I still think it's a good idea,
maybe better than ever.
786
01:11:59,063 --> 01:12:00,624
How do you figure that?
787
01:12:01,175 --> 01:12:03,247
Right now every ounce of cotton...
788
01:12:03,703 --> 01:12:05,907
has to be shipped North or to England.
789
01:12:07,287 --> 01:12:10,865
Imagine having a mill
right in South Carolina.
790
01:12:11,639 --> 01:12:13,232
Imagine. Can you imagine...
791
01:12:13,335 --> 01:12:16,499
being able to manufacture the cotton
right where it's grown?
792
01:12:17,079 --> 01:12:18,737
I can imagine that...
793
01:12:19,511 --> 01:12:21,747
if you and I were equal partners in it.
794
01:12:23,831 --> 01:12:26,614
Wait, George.
I was only asking for advice, not money.
795
01:12:26,679 --> 01:12:29,396
I know that, but remember the last time
we talked about this?
796
01:12:29,463 --> 01:12:33,041
I told you then that Hazard Iron
should manufacture the parts for it.
797
01:12:33,111 --> 01:12:34,518
But I can do better than that now.
798
01:12:34,583 --> 01:12:38,358
I've got some money tucked away.
It sounds like an excellent investment.
799
01:12:41,335 --> 01:12:44,466
I don't know what to say.
It's so much better than I hoped.
800
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:51,149
I've got one condition, though.
801
01:12:53,591 --> 01:12:54,868
No slave labor.
802
01:13:00,279 --> 01:13:01,424
Agreed.
803
01:13:04,983 --> 01:13:06,510
Main and Hazard.
804
01:13:08,055 --> 01:13:10,324
It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
805
01:13:10,615 --> 01:13:12,917
Almost as nice as Hazard and Main.
806
01:13:24,183 --> 01:13:26,932
Are you absolutely certain
that's what George said?
807
01:13:27,704 --> 01:13:29,842
A cotton mill in South Carolina?
808
01:13:29,911 --> 01:13:33,359
I told him it was a foolish idea,
but it is his money.
809
01:13:34,359 --> 01:13:36,148
And it is our salvation.
810
01:13:37,111 --> 01:13:40,209
Imagine George being stupid enough
to invest in the South.
811
01:13:41,144 --> 01:13:43,827
I don't understand. How does that help us?
812
01:13:45,271 --> 01:13:47,093
Think about it, Stanley.
813
01:13:47,607 --> 01:13:50,837
George is investing in a region
that's beginning to think of itself...
814
01:13:50,903 --> 01:13:52,463
as a rival country.
815
01:13:52,983 --> 01:13:56,147
Why, he is going to lose everything
in this silly mill venture.
816
01:13:57,015 --> 01:14:00,909
What better way to prove to your mother
that she made a terrible mistake...
817
01:14:02,839 --> 01:14:05,228
and that you should be running
Hazard Iron?
818
01:14:11,159 --> 01:14:14,006
They're so ripe, Billy. Just look at them.
819
01:14:14,839 --> 01:14:16,246
They look delicious.
820
01:14:16,983 --> 01:14:19,765
- I saved them just for you.
- You did?
821
01:14:19,991 --> 01:14:21,420
Let me give you one.
822
01:14:32,087 --> 01:14:34,454
Was it good, Billy? Do you want more?
823
01:14:37,271 --> 01:14:40,119
- I'll give you more if you want me to.
- Yes.
824
01:14:47,863 --> 01:14:49,968
Why don't you take it all? Take everything.
825
01:14:54,999 --> 01:14:56,144
Ashton, no.
826
01:14:57,591 --> 01:14:58,834
We can't.
827
01:15:00,023 --> 01:15:02,478
- I mean, your brother.
- Forget about them.
828
01:15:02,551 --> 01:15:03,860
- No one will know.
- Ashton, no.
829
01:15:05,175 --> 01:15:06,768
I want to, but no.
830
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,327
I can't, all right?
831
01:15:11,447 --> 01:15:13,749
Forget it, then. I'm going home.
832
01:15:14,839 --> 01:15:16,628
Don't be angry, please.
833
01:15:17,559 --> 01:15:19,250
I care about you.
834
01:15:20,119 --> 01:15:21,778
You care about me?
835
01:15:23,543 --> 01:15:27,634
If you cared about me, Billy,
you wouldn't be such a damn gentleman.
836
01:15:44,855 --> 01:15:47,310
But I can manage myself,
thank you very much.
837
01:15:47,575 --> 01:15:49,331
I hope you're not mad at me.
838
01:15:54,455 --> 01:15:57,771
- No, you don't. I'm angry with you.
- Didn't mean to offend you.
839
01:16:01,079 --> 01:16:03,981
It's been a wonderful summer.
I can't thank you enough.
840
01:16:04,055 --> 01:16:05,135
On the contrary.
841
01:16:05,207 --> 01:16:07,792
We should be thanking you
for having come.
842
01:16:08,024 --> 01:16:10,838
Orry and I want to have you all
come down to Carolina...
843
01:16:10,904 --> 01:16:13,751
just as soon as you find the time.
We insist upon it.
844
01:16:14,167 --> 01:16:17,429
She's very determined
when she makes up her mind.
845
01:16:19,671 --> 01:16:21,362
So you must say yes.
846
01:16:22,775 --> 01:16:25,328
Very well. On behalf of all of us...
847
01:16:25,399 --> 01:16:27,472
I accept your kind invitation.
848
01:16:27,639 --> 01:16:31,894
Mont Royal will await you.
Again, our deepest thanks.
849
01:16:38,455 --> 01:16:40,495
- Main and Hazard?
- Hazard and Main.
850
01:16:41,591 --> 01:16:43,118
Take care, old friend.
851
01:16:43,351 --> 01:16:45,489
And you, until we meet again.
852
01:17:00,247 --> 01:17:02,549
- Bye, Orry.
- Bye.
853
01:18:32,944 --> 01:18:34,569
Spying slut.
854
01:18:35,824 --> 01:18:37,929
How dare you follow me here?
855
01:18:41,231 --> 01:18:44,460
Maybe you're jealous
because she can give me what you can't.
856
01:18:45,391 --> 01:18:48,871
Maybe I should drag you in there
and show you how I can get a man child...
857
01:18:48,943 --> 01:18:51,114
on any slut on this plantation but you.
858
01:18:51,343 --> 01:18:53,034
You are disgusting!
859
01:19:02,287 --> 01:19:05,549
You can just lie there
and rot, for all I care.
860
01:19:09,487 --> 01:19:10,665
Thisbee?
861
01:19:34,511 --> 01:19:35,820
Madeline.
862
01:19:40,463 --> 01:19:42,372
You're gonna be all right.
863
01:19:42,447 --> 01:19:43,625
Easy.
864
01:19:50,831 --> 01:19:52,041
I'll kill him.
865
01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:54,661
Dear God help me, I will kill him now.
866
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,822
Don't say that. Don't even think that.
867
01:20:03,791 --> 01:20:05,929
I can't let you go back to him then.
868
01:20:06,767 --> 01:20:10,215
Please let me send you away.
I'll join you as soon as I can.
869
01:20:10,864 --> 01:20:13,067
You can see how dangerous he is.
870
01:20:15,183 --> 01:20:16,460
He'd find me.
871
01:20:18,383 --> 01:20:19,790
He'd kill me.
872
01:20:22,575 --> 01:20:24,168
He'd kill us both.
873
01:20:27,727 --> 01:20:31,110
- But if you stay-
- Things must stay the way they are.
874
01:20:32,944 --> 01:20:35,147
He still knows nothing about us.
875
01:20:36,784 --> 01:20:38,606
And he must never know.
876
01:20:40,975 --> 01:20:42,121
Please.
877
01:20:49,743 --> 01:20:53,158
Then this is the safest place for us.
He'll never come back here.
878
01:20:53,807 --> 01:20:56,524
This will change nothing
that's between us.
879
01:21:06,671 --> 01:21:07,686
Nothing.
880
01:21:17,295 --> 01:21:20,012
You know that room
that I mentioned to you before?
881
01:21:20,079 --> 01:21:22,862
The one that used to be
the saddle-maker's workshop?
882
01:21:23,279 --> 01:21:25,417
As I said, it's yours if you want it.
883
01:21:27,055 --> 01:21:29,772
George, you need to know
what it's to be used for.
884
01:21:30,639 --> 01:21:32,679
You mustn't be angry with me.
885
01:21:33,743 --> 01:21:36,231
And you must deny me
if you don't approve.
886
01:21:37,199 --> 01:21:40,298
- You're opening a brothel.
- Be serious, George.
887
01:21:42,511 --> 01:21:43,755
Listen...
888
01:21:46,287 --> 01:21:49,321
I want Belvedere to be a link
on the Underground Railway.
889
01:21:50,895 --> 01:21:53,317
If free Negroes can help, George,
so can we.
890
01:22:00,559 --> 01:22:03,788
- You want to shelter escaped slaves?
- Yes.
891
01:22:07,599 --> 01:22:09,257
It's dangerous, Con.
892
01:22:09,904 --> 01:22:12,270
You'd be breaking the Fugitive Slave Law.
893
01:22:12,911 --> 01:22:15,813
If you're caught,
it means federal prison at least.
894
01:22:16,943 --> 01:22:20,488
I know that.
Believe me, I've thought about the risks.
895
01:22:22,703 --> 01:22:23,913
But, George...
896
01:22:27,471 --> 01:22:29,860
Come with me.
I want to show you something.
897
01:22:37,744 --> 01:22:40,777
The abuse was constant, George.
There was no provocation.
898
01:22:40,975 --> 01:22:43,659
Then it became more than he could bear,
so Abner ran away.
899
01:22:43,727 --> 01:22:46,727
And made his way here through houses
and friends in the network.
900
01:22:46,799 --> 01:22:48,457
All the way from Raleigh.
901
01:23:03,055 --> 01:23:05,805
You're safe here with us.
I want you to know that.
902
01:23:06,191 --> 01:23:07,500
Thank you.
903
01:23:10,927 --> 01:23:12,935
I admire what you're doing, Joel.
904
01:23:30,991 --> 01:23:34,636
No one can know but Mother.
Virgilia cannot be trusted, and Billy...
905
01:23:34,703 --> 01:23:36,426
Is too young. I know.
906
01:23:37,039 --> 01:23:41,065
We can't let anyone find out, ever,
or we're finished.
907
01:23:43,119 --> 01:23:47,375
- I'll stand by you, though.
- Thank you. I knew you would...
908
01:23:47,695 --> 01:23:50,662
- once you saw.
- You've always known me too well.
909
01:24:20,111 --> 01:24:21,540
It's Orry, isn't it?
910
01:24:23,503 --> 01:24:25,510
That's what you're thinking about?
911
01:24:28,335 --> 01:24:31,085
Here we are, partners in a business.
912
01:24:33,039 --> 01:24:35,789
And I'm helping people
that he considers criminals.
913
01:24:35,983 --> 01:24:39,496
But they're not criminals, George.
And someone has to help them.
914
01:24:40,847 --> 01:24:43,716
Orry's ideas are part of his heritage.
915
01:24:44,783 --> 01:24:46,987
It'll take generations to change them.
916
01:24:50,543 --> 01:24:53,576
When we all go down to Mont Royal
in a couple of weeks...
917
01:24:54,031 --> 01:24:57,446
we're gonna see how he was brought up,
the things he believes in.
918
01:24:58,127 --> 01:25:01,739
It's going to come as quite a shock
to some of the people in our family.
919
01:25:02,383 --> 01:25:04,772
Thank God Virgilia
is not going to be there.
920
01:25:09,679 --> 01:25:11,533
George, she told me she wanted to go.
921
01:25:11,599 --> 01:25:14,217
In fact, she begged me
to speak to you about it.
922
01:25:15,055 --> 01:25:17,127
You can tell her the answer was no.
923
01:25:17,487 --> 01:25:19,211
You can't forbid her.
924
01:25:19,407 --> 01:25:21,578
After what she did
the time the Mains were here...
925
01:25:21,647 --> 01:25:23,109
I most certainly can.
926
01:25:23,631 --> 01:25:25,835
But she seems
so honestly sorry about that.
927
01:25:25,903 --> 01:25:29,612
Besides, the whole family was invited,
and Virgilia says that includes her, too.
928
01:25:29,679 --> 01:25:31,589
It was assumed she wouldn't go.
929
01:25:33,167 --> 01:25:36,516
Virgilia knows that.
Orry's too polite to make conditions.
930
01:25:40,655 --> 01:25:42,477
Think of it this way, George.
931
01:25:45,487 --> 01:25:49,611
Maybe Stanley and Isabel won't go
to Mont Royal if Virgilia does.
932
01:25:51,823 --> 01:25:54,212
Now wouldn't that be a dreadful loss?
933
01:26:01,935 --> 01:26:03,364
George, do I get to go?
934
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,894
What I don't understand
is why you want to go, Virgilia.
935
01:26:05,967 --> 01:26:09,000
You hate the South and all Southerners,
or so you've endlessly claimed...
936
01:26:09,071 --> 01:26:12,454
But you're always preaching
that all hate is based on ignorance.
937
01:26:12,815 --> 01:26:15,117
I'm willing to admit
that I may have been wrong.
938
01:26:15,183 --> 01:26:17,387
But I'll never find out
unless I see it firsthand.
939
01:26:17,455 --> 01:26:21,448
Taking you into South Carolina is like
taking a torch into a powder magazine.
940
01:26:21,615 --> 01:26:23,557
I'll be good as gold, I promise.
941
01:26:26,799 --> 01:26:29,734
That man is my best friend on this earth.
942
01:26:29,935 --> 01:26:33,677
No talk about abolition, or free soil,
or anything else that might offend him.
943
01:26:33,743 --> 01:26:34,954
Word of honor.
944
01:26:38,191 --> 01:26:40,363
I'll swear to it on a Bible
if you want me to.
945
01:26:40,431 --> 01:26:43,660
You've given me your word of honor,
I have to accept that.
946
01:26:43,727 --> 01:26:44,937
You can go.
947
01:26:45,679 --> 01:26:48,581
- Wonderful. I'll finish packing.
- Wait just a minute.
948
01:26:48,783 --> 01:26:49,830
Come here.
949
01:26:51,887 --> 01:26:53,349
The Bible's in there.
