Mammy Porsche!

Yes, Miss Susan, can't you do anything with that baby?

I don't try everything, Miss Susan.

But he just won't, Hushup.

He's been going on like this ever since Tilly went away.

Don't you think I know that?

Now, I want you to find a way to keep that baby quiet,

Mammy Porsche, and I want you to do it quick!

Yes, Miss Susan.

You yankin, knobhead?

You don't kill slaves.

And you don't beat the hetting.

You capture slaves and you punish them.

But you don't do what you did.

So what now?

You're fired.

Get off of my plantation and stay off.

God, all might is in the rain.

God, all might is in the sun.

The Holy Spirit is here.

How is she?

Half dead.

Is this how you treat a slave, my son?

She wouldn't be this way.

She hadn't let that runaway buck mess with her.

You were sick barely once.

And your friend, Doc Thompson, couldn't do nothing about it.

So I came when you called.

Your life was dangling on a thread and I saved you.

You said you were going to set me free and you never did.

You said you'll never break up our family, but you sold our tilly and now this.

You've got no right to talk to me that way, slave woman.

I'll let that girl have away and I'll never be the ones.

I put Ben in charge of the timber yard.

I've been good to y'all.

I didn't have nothing to do with that girl getting my head back.

But no matter what I do or don't do, I don't have to keep promises to slave woman

with a black magic ores and roots.

You wish you had myself.

I'll let my crack and go.

On the

the

I need a drink.

Drink.

Oh!

She can't move.

Talk.

Do anything.

We're just gonna have to sell her, Edward.

Who the hell's gonna pass sleep in the shape she's in?

Worth a try.

Edward, you know once you put your mind to it you could talk anybody into anything.

You really believe that?

Talk me into marrying you, didn't you?

Hell, I love you.

I know that, Edward, but you also love money.

Well, there she is.

Name your price.

She'll be one of the best breeders you have owned.

You'll be joking with the boys when a fool Edward was.

Let me have a prime gal like this for almost nothing.

I don't know, Edward.

She don't look too healthy to me.

Say something, gal.

Well, she can't say anything. She's asleep.

Wake up, gal.

She was one of the strongest wenches I ever had for this unfortunate mishap.

She'll be there way again to your price.

Your price, son?

Nah.

No price at all, Edward.

Damn you.

You stay alone.

I don't know what it is you say.

Just show me away from my so-heir to be dead.

For my so-heir to be smite town.

The devil's got him.

He don't know what he's saying.

He's not saying anything.

He's not saying anything.

I don't know what he's saying.

Just show me away from my so-heir to be dead.

For my so-heir to be smite town.

The devil's got him.

He don't know how to be right.

He ought to be dead with his evil ways.

I pray every morning, every day, every night, that he be gone.

I pray now.

You gone?

Did you hear me, Lloyd?

Did you?

Did you hear me?

Edward?

Edward, what is wrong with you?

Edward, let me help!

Edward, Edward, let me push her!

Let me push her!

Oh my lord, what's the matter with you?

Never mind.

Go to Mr. Coldwell town to get Duck Thompson over here right away.

And then send me two boys in here to help with it.

Edward, come here!

Edward, come here!

Edward, let me help you!

Edward, come here, come here!

Edward, come here!

There's nothing we can do now, but wait for the fever to go down.

Well, is he gonna die, Dr. Thompson?

I don't know, Susan. I really don't know.

Hey, what? Hey, what?

Hey, what? Hey, what? Tell me what it is.

What is it? I want you to lose so much. I love you. I've always loved you.

Nothing, Portia.

He wants Juba and her potions. You get her up here right away.

You're right away, sir.

You know you just sayin' it, Portia. You won't mind bring my herd.

Well, you better hurry, cause I don't think he's gonna last long.

I'll be there.

Where is that Juba? What is taking her so long?

I'm afraid it won't matter when she gets here, Susan.

No! No! No! No! No! No!

Lord, I did it. I wished it impraded on him.

Look at though he was, I don't know right to take a life.

Oh, Mercy only looked. Why should I see it so late? Why should I blurt from my body?

Why should my face with snow clean the head away?

Mercy only looked.

Lord, did you hear me? Did you hear me? Did you?

Did you? Why should my hands away? Why should it blurt from my body?

Why should my face with snow clean the head away?

I'm sorry.

Running as swiftly as the years of growth came and went, running through time measured by endurance.

Unaware of the future, it would bear her the crown of Moses.

I'm

Attth!

I said you're a lot while he was aware of that school.

You need my stocks.

Leave my mess soon in there.

How you know?

Well, she had a weird Cambridge flippin' around with other men most of the time.

Now, if he was sleepin' with you, you wouldn't know how to do that.

Well, he's in the house with him.

Just like my kid anymore.

Hey, Master Doc, Master Ed, were good buddies.

That's why he left him to be guardian of this plantation.

Now, you think old Master Ed would have left a man in his house who's going to be messing with his wife?

That's why you leave good buddies to be guardian instead of just friends.

Miss, even if he is mess with her, Master Ed's show can't be none cause he's being.

Get on over there and saw up that log, girl.

Well, what do you men want?

Figured we'd come!

I think I got the money.

I'm just gonna pay for it.

I'm still going to pay for it.

I'm going to pay for it.

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Hey, Doc!

Figured we'd come down here and scare them up a bit in the corner.

You patrolers leave my slaves alone.

They behave themselves and I don't need you trampling over them.

But next time we ain't gonna ask you.

Let's go, huh?

I don't like those families. I never did.

That's what you get for hiring trash like that.

I never hired them.

You're dear departed husband Edward.

Be hired them.

Long time ago, do you know that?

Why do you think I was signed from the Platters Association?

I do apologize.

I didn't know that.

Be it the good hat made for her llama.

We are now at some mighty fine looking bowl, daughter.

Who do you think taught her?

Thank you, Pat. I sure am glad you'd like it, Mom.

Can we eat now, y'all?

Come on out there, Benji.

Come and, Mom.

Now, where's that, Robert?

Where's you, Ben, boy?

Me and Al Varna, we've been walking.

Y'all, show us better keep the time walking

for two who ain't been over the room yet.

That's why I bought Al Varna here, Mama.

We weren't there to talk to Mossadock about us and getting married.

You here, Ben?

You better get some kind of permission from Mossadock.

For these walks of theirs, get this girl stumped

and look like it's got watermelon in it.

And she didn't say that for laughing.

I'll talk to him by the Robert, but until I do know more,

let's walk, see him again.

Yes, sir.

Al Varna?

Well, just stay.

That's up, it would've.

Thank you, Dad, Ben.

Thank you, Lord.

For the life you gave us today,

food on the table tonight.

Amen.

Amen.

Terry?

Why, she's seeing Mossadock about Robert and Al Varna.

Can you ask him something for me?

About what?

About my students, please.

Hey, he's looking for high-ups.

Ain't you happy working in the temple yard with me?

I'm sorry, it's daddy.

But if I could get myself high-ups,

I could go to book town, take in Washington,

get some other kind of jobs.

Maybe I make enough money one day to buy us all our freedom.

Did I hear you?

You might as well throw that notion right out your head.

Well, she knows Mossadock ain't going to allow it.

We can still try, can't we, Daddy?

Of course we can.

What happened, Ben?

She had another one of her fates bells, Ma'am.

That's a third time this week.

See what I was telling you, Edward?

I'm afraid this gal's going to be more of a burden

than she is an asset.

Well, sir, does she still want to work on the Stewart, please?

Does she, Ben?

Yes.

Well, then I suggest we sort of loan it a mister Stewart.

In that way, she'll be his burden.

It's a good idea.

Looks like the young masters learning fast, isn't he, Ben?

Yes, he shall be.

All right.

Here my permission to send her over to Stewart's place,

but under the condition that she hands over to me one dollar every week,

and that's whether she earns anything or not.

Do you understand me, Ben?

Yes.

Can I take her into the cabin, Nasa?

Yes, Ben.

Come on, Edward.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, I'm Edward.

Thank you, sir.

Young moms learning rare fast, easy, big.

Yes!

Yes!

And I'm going to go and I'm going to buy my free.

Thank you, big stuff.

Just cause you're going to work for my sister.

Laura May told me about you yesterday.

What should she tell you?

Say, it's true.

You and your daddy didn't want to take me in.

Just cause I was a cast off.

Shit, what?

You got that on your mind?

That was my mom yesterday.

Well, it's true, then.

It ain't you now.

It is.

And you know it.

The truth ain't in none of you, Rossis.

Thank you.

Something special just cause your daddy boss to lumber y'all.

But you ain't doing nothing but licking my sardocs boots just like you're done with my

sardocs.

Well, if you leave me be I'll wrap this stick right right in your head.

Yeah, well, you just.

I said I'll bet I'll make you pray.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Hey, what's going on?

Oh, no.

Where are you going, Gal?

I'm working the pond, Master Storz place.

Well, let me see you fast.

All right.

Get on your way.

Ah!

Ah!

Oh, is that okay?

OK!

Oh!

Ah!

Ah!

Go!

Oh!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

You work my fields five days a week, and on Saturdays and Sundays,

your freedom and money on your own, and that money is all yours.

If you have to go to Bucktown, seek work, it must come to me for a pass.

Everything you do must come through me.

I do not allow my overseers to beat or abuse my slaves without my permission.

And I will shoot the first patrol that sits a foot on this plantation.

You will find that I'm a fair man from a refined stock of southern men and women.

And I'll load with a passion that my trench element amongst us.

Any questions?

Oh, no, sir.

You can go now.

Joshua, show you the cab.

We're married.

Since you are hired out like me, I can get your job washing clothes for a Quaker lady in Bucktown.

You think she could use me?

Sure she would.

And I hear she helped run away slaves, too.

How are you looking at her?

Is that a cab?

Look young.

Yeah.

Belongs are still it.

I know that I've been in it for years.

Keep going, wife.

I'm the woman, look, see.

You know what the devil is on your mind.

Shh.

I see it.

I see it.

You know what the devil is on your mind.

No, that land is worthless and it would be a waste of manpower.

Sir, my daddy taught me all the ways of making land great.

What things to grow?

By the way the sun set, the way the bark grew on the tree, and how to change the color

of the sun.

Must do it.

I swear by my lord up in heaven I can make food grow out of that land.

And where would you sell your crops?

At the Bucktown market.

Adam, you know what you are?

A slave, sir.

I never forget that.

A slave, yes.

But you are a gal with incentive.

I am?

You've got my bottom dollar you are.

You got something that yank is, ain't got.

Incentive.

But do I guess the land, sir?

Of course.

This will be our little experiment, this plot of land.

And I'll give you 50% of the crops market value.

Is that fair?

Yes.

You're moving that cabin tomorrow.

You tell Josh what to give you, a cart, a mule, and whatever tools you need.

Don't get to it.

Cultivating, freedom's garden and the stifling heat of August with its bloodless skies, challenges

the will.

Snatching its stumps and rocks on a stretch of God's earth, seemingly will not yield.

A pause for breathing is merely a pause for breathing.

For in the end, it must bend.

It will bend.

I got fear, I got long pants, sharp pants, fat pants, skinny pants.

I got search for your lowdown, just sort of our suits.

Whew, please, you ladies, this show's looking good today.

I got the pants here.

I got the phone, pants, the sharp pants, fat pants, skinny pants.

I got a lannin here, ladies.

I got the bunch of pants here.

I got street.

That old John Tubman, free-new-grow he is.

Thank God sent him to this world just to satisfy women.

Where he get his whales?

Sweet talk.

Sweet talk.

That's what they do.

Sweet talk.

Yeah, child.

He calls these free housemates and gets them to give him everything the white folks

throw out.

And sometimes he goes right to the white folks himself and talk them into what he wants.

John Tubman's a sweet talker from way back.

And he can outsell and then close, bend in any woman anywhere.

Of course, I don't like it myself.

Say why don't you?

Child, what you gonna trust a man?

You can sit down like a woman in so close.

You never know, Molly.

You never know.

How you go?

What you want?

I've been waiting you off an hour.

You know that, don't you?

What you miss?

I know, housemates, not showing looking for no good time.

Yeah, I mean, nothing I just thought would be nice to...

What's wrong?

You all right, gal?

Get up, self.

Get up, self.

June?

You've been for your life.

You ain't never been a slave.

What's this like?

I don't know.

I...

I think about it a lot.

And I...

I think I ain't one.

You like slaves?

Sure, but that is.

But I know I don't like slaveholders.

I like folks.

I like you, Miss Harry.

That's the first time you didn't call me gay.

You call me Harry?

You call me Miss Harry?

I like you, Miss Harry.

I like you, Miss Harry.

Sometimes.

June?

You know what I got in my head?

I got me enough money to buy myself wave of old duck dumps.

I got to put this money away.

Don't you ever think of anything but money and work?

Money is what buys me.

Just think about it, man.

Tomorrow I won't be a free woman.

I'll get all dressed up in my Sunday clothes, go to church meeting with mom and daddy, and then go see Omar's dad.

June?

How the dawg is going to be my prize to him?

Is that all you were?

Go somewhere, Mo.

But he always tried to sell me a dead figure causing my fate and flexion.

You take my offer.

You have to.

Won't he, John?

John, actually, he is.

You take it.

Oh, John.

I'll be the good lady in the hole!

The literal!

Oh, well, you look the day, Miss Harriet. Doc Thompson's got to give you your freedom.

He ain't giving me nothing. I'm buying. He's selling.

Boy, they must be having a son. How are they over there?

Yeah. Don't you and show lots of Sunday morning parties.

Yeah, I won't just buy every other Sunday.

Wonder that could be.

They look like Master Stewart in his head straight this way.

John, you best believe it.

Lots of luck, Miss Harriet.

Just think, the next time I see you, you'll be a free woman.

I have one kiss from you as a straight woman.

Then when I see you again, I'll be kissing a free woman.

I'll be kissing a free woman. I said, get on what you'll say.

I think we fancy today.

Just go on a church, Miss.

I see.

Come here.

You have time for that.

I have a special job to be done.

And you're the only one I can count on to do it properly.

But, Master...

Now, Gail.

I mean, too good to you for you to give me any butts when I need you.

What kind of job is it?

I got a wagon load of goods open late grow by the quarter mile from the Wayne station.

I have to get them to the station before noon.

Well, Master, Wayne, station close on Sunday.

Well, realizing how important this is, they are open today as a special favor to me.

It's a better go change close to me.

Oh, you have to do sit up on the wagon, tell them you want to move and you'll be there in no time.

I see you there in ten minutes.

I see you there in ten minutes.

I see you there in ten minutes.

Where are you, Master?

I mean, determine that mule's not here.

Master?

Where is he?

Mule?

Mule?

Mule?

I'm sorry.

Foolish mule must have wanted away.

You're just going to have to do it yourself.

I can't pull that wagon, Master.

Oh, sure you can, girl.

I can't.

Come on.

You just know I'm stamping it there.

There.

Nothing to it.

There's nothing to it.

It's going to be real easy.

That mule has nothing on you.

You're going to thank me for giving you this opportunity.

There you are.

There you are.

You just remember what I told you about him, said him.

I'm sorry.

Now, girl, you don't want me to tell my stuff how you've been a bad girl now, do you?

I'm sorry.

It's apolog terminology.

You

You

My God what happened to you?

I see one of Stuart's docky pageants again and you came here to tell me about it.

What's this for?

Two hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars to parm up.

Oh no child. Here. I wouldn't let you go for two hundred dollars. I wouldn't set you if someone offered me a thousand.

I found it.

After being born that I'm afraid.

Hey. Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened to you, strong?

I got to be free for a dime.

What if it's too loud? I won't give it.

If I got to go crazy with a ride forever in, I won't do that too.

I got to be free, John. I got to be free.

Now the Lord says a man is a man and a woman is a woman and they're supposed to live by the words of the law.

It's husband and wife.

Mind me. Without sin.

Now you got the ring?

Well put it on a boy. Put it on a boy.

Now take your walk.

You will not.

I

It sounds like they're having the time of their lives.

They is, ma'am.

It makes me feel like I want to run down there and join in myself.

No, no. I wonder who the devil was, never thought up something like Steve.

A Freeman husband, a slave wife, a year of communal labor, a year of parties and good times,

celebrations that the slave had not known before.

Yet the blight of slavery remains, and monies that must be stored in freedom's purse

must be stored in freedom's purse.

And then, as quickly as the passing of a bondman's night sleep, the free man, John,

concedes to silence, to brooding moods, to days of absence, the good times of all dwindled

as if they had never been.

I'm going up to Cambridge, get my business started again.

I don't know if I post clothes for free hours, Gath.

That's right.

I'm just going to walk off and leave my lawn again.

Harriet, you think you're the only one who got problems?

I got my problems to my free man's papers to run out.

I don't know if we get them to collapse this week.

No! Get a man you think I am using my wife's money for my problems!

John.

I can understand you don't want him to take a woman's money.

It ain't no point in you messing around up country with your ways.

Why don't you try to settle down?

Did yourself hide out at Stuart's place or somewhere?

Like a slave.

You be good in the meantime, yeah?

I gotta get a move on.

I gotta get a move on too.

I'm about to work.

I gotta sleep.

Two months alone, but not long soon.

Just angry, restless.

We're sad that we were not formationed.

They're going down to blow!

Again.

Sweet John is home.

I'm home to be with the baby.

Then you hear me, I said, Sweet John.

You mean a man can't touch his own woman?

Look, when you go off and leave me alone for months,

John, when you feel like, come back to me, smell and I'll risk it.

Your body's spigot with another woman's own.

Hey!

Hey!

Oh!

Ow!

Ow!

Fuck!

What the no woman!

I'm looking for work!

What the hell?

Lumber mill, I used to work here. I could have got...

Alright.

When I asked to see my free papers,

I told them I left them here because I was scared to tell them.

They'd run out.

I went everywhere, even.

I tried to get a job cleaning up outhouses.

Everywhere I went, it pushed me back like a stirred.

I was so scared.

I went to a joke, John.

Big drinks. Just to get drunk.

Well then I saw them when I found Edward.

They really wouldn't go right by it though.

I'll-I'll GO later.

Pat? Pat?

Young Masseye just died a long fever.

He did?

Yeah, Miss Susan's moving up country,

and Massey Doc is selling everybody off.

Till Mom and Daddy I be over in a beer.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, fellas, Big John is back.

That man, all the drinks.

Come on.

I just don't understand, y'all.

One white boy croaked up in the big house.

A whole quarter comes down with room and sickness.

You know, but don't get so,

Doc Thomas ain't about to sell prime slaves like you folks.

I don't think my mama taught me, John taught me.

Never depend on any man standing over your life with a wife.

Time for us to get out of here.

Let's get where?

You mean my whole family.

Skid what, North?

North, but it's cold as set up, North.

Cauliflower's crammed into mills, towns, houses like rabbits.

Oh, Jesus.

You're too blind.

Look at me.

I said, look at me, John, tell me I'm bald.

I could be so the way for you to do.

Don't you care?

Are you scared?

You better.

You don't bother.

I want you to tell me straight out right now, John Thomas.

I want a hit from you right now.

Yeah, I care.

As soon as I get myself going, we can start saving all over again.

We can start saving all over again?

I'll buy you freedom myself.

No, I'm not.

You're not an emit, Carol.

What are you gonna drag out that old sack again?

That's what I was trying to tell you.

I borrowed it.

That's what I did. I borrowed it.

You're shallow.

Oh, my feet are money gone.

What's wrong with a man borrowing from his wife?

Not far, John. No, no, no, you know him.

I'll speed up the Saviour.

No, John!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Oh!

She's a brother that's over again.

DJ, are you instead of the Q&A?

You're a mother.

What about you,

DJ.

Please, don't interrupt.

Please, don't.

First up,

please, place this hill over.

Please.

OK...

Ah!

Umm...

Aunt...

Look, they don't know...

Super...

Miss Mama dead.

They locked up in the barn behind the big house.

I gotta go up after them, dear.

You can't, hat.

Their patrol is all around.

Vinci, I don't beat up my mind. I'm a run-off tonight.

You gotta come go where men?

With Robert Novana hired out, somebody's got to stay with Mom and Dad.

Well, I gotta go kill him.

Vinci?

You can't, hat. You can't go up there.

Tell them how cold, Vinci.

After I get myself settled up now, I'll come back and get you all here.

Take her inside, Vinci.

I'm in it.

And you stay here,

told you him.

Robert.

Harriet.

Commander.

I'm sorry to get your bloody arrest, Ron.

I'll be fleeing from bondage.

Yes, son.

The river heads north to the Delaware border, where it gets smaller,

and then onto the town of Dover.

Can you remember that?

Yes.

One must be careful where one knocks, Harriet.

But they will find an underground railway station in Dover and a ticket to Philadelphia.

You mean, Tuscalo?

You're on a train that runs under the ground?

No.

It's not a real train.

The underground railway is people along the way will help to clothe thee and feed thee.

Rest at night and show thee the right way to Philadelphia.

Oh, Harriet.

This will be thy first underground railway station.

Yes.

And if they get to the river before dawn,

they may be fortunate enough to find a boatman there at Reedy Cove.

He's often there during the night.

And though we do not know who he is,

we do know that he is a friend.

He'll then trust him.

Yes.

Remember,

the art journey aimed from midnight through hope to God be praised.

Remember that.

I'll show him, Miss Fotta.

I'll show him.

Godspeed.

I'll give him.

I'll show him.

I'll show him.

I'll show him.

Now, look, as far as I go, you just stay by the river and you'll be safe.

Yes, sir. Thank you, God bless us.

Cramping along the edge of the river where waters crash by,

over and around ancient objects of nature in their angry thrust upstream,

touch the moss on the tree.

Yes. Yes, yes.

The river flows north.

The river flows south.

The river flows south.

One does not drown in this river stream.

The river is the refuge now.

The river is the refuge now.

The river is the refuge now.

I'm going to get in.

I'm going to be mad.

And this is my place.

And I have runaways whenever I was able.

Oh, sorry.

No need to be.

I've come upon a runaway once who was so scared and honored.

She almost bit my finger.

See?

I'm going to get out of here.

Oh, no.

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

Oh, no.

I'm going to get out of here.

Oh, no.

I'm going to get out of here.

Oh, no.

See?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

You beat a Wilmington soon in on wheels.

That's your last stop before you get to Philadelphia.

A train?

Nope.

Trains ain't saviour about them.

We are going my cart.

Here.

Put these on.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, there are gogs on the road.

Put your holster.

Those men's clothes ought to cover you real good.

You mean they got the walled?

Show enough, do not.

Hold that hat down over that scar.

You know that's on the poster, too.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Is that more right now?

I can still tell you a little bit.

But the gogs won't.

Come on.

Some rock?

Guards of the road.

I don't say nothing.

Me neither, but I smell it.

Chew on this and just behave like natural.

You mean Chew on this back?

I mean Chew on this back?

Get back the gogs with me.

I do not call off all of these.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Yeah.

Come on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Morning, boss.

Yes, yes.

Coming, having with thee?

Yes, boy.

Is he Mr. Gare?

Yes.

My name Harriet Ross Tomman, and I'm escaped to sleep from Mary.

Harriet, what is wrong?

Was he followed?

He's too mad. I do.

I think he'll do anything he'll do.

Yeah, my brothers.

Come here.

One moment.

And, sir, man, please, won't he go home now?

I'm sure I'm most grateful, but I suffer must be waiting, and I wise, likewise.

Oh, well, assuredly.

Some of my brothers have been most solicitous since my arrest.

Very kind of them, but sometimes they keep watch until the wee hours of the morning.

Come along with me.

Come along, now.

Come along, now.

Don't be afraid.

They need me up here.

Come along, come along.

Everything my dad taught me about the woods in the river.

Set me from getting caught.

Yes, great knowledge.

Many fugitives perish from a lack of such knowledge.

At what cause these are first planned to escape from slavery?

When I was a little girl, voices used to come to me.

They told me that the Lord willed it.

Spirit, you know, the Lord willed it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

They told me that the Lord willed it.

Spirit, your voices?

Yes, sir.

I, myself, heard voices when I was but a lad.

There are those at scoff and call such occurrences of wicked mysticism,

but I believe God uses many devices to lead us to the path of righteousness.

Yes, sir.

What kept thy spirit alive through the worst of it?

I reason that as a slave I had no rights, but then I reason that I did have the right to die on track of free.

I was going to have one on the bottom.

Very well, please.

See you as a white soldier.

4.

Here we are!

Cap or no?

orset.

Well, he is just about on my way to the new home of freedom.

Across the field of that road, the road will lead you to the turnpike.

The turnpike will take you to Philadelphia. Use the map.

It will lead you to the Lombard Street Church.

Ask for William Steele, President of the Antislavery Society.

Godspeed.

God bless you, Mr. Cairn.

The last road from slavery, the first road to freedom.

Philadelphia, Liberty City, Harriet Ross Tubman, in gratitude for what she should not be,

what she does not want to be, what she is not going to be.

Praise his God.

She is no longer what she was.

Philadelphia, full of life, laughing and good godly time.

Like this time she gives to the stalwart abolitionist, William Steele, blessed William Steele,

whose anti-slavery society is the Haven, where men and women who were once slaves

are helped to their new life in this baffling world of freedom.

And as Harriet Ross Tubman carries out her task, she recalls all too well

what the voices at once said.

Suffering produces endurance.

Endurance produces character.

Character produces faith.

And faith would not in the end disappoint.

Hello.

Who's the preacher?

No, I'm not. The pastor's away. You run away slaves?

Do you want food and clothing?

Well, then you must be tired. Let us show you to our sleeping quarters.

He's gone to sleep. He's gone to sleep for good.

He's dead.

He'd be dead all right.

Said he'd be all right. Said if he could just get north for one day.

Be all right.

He'd be just fine.

The death of that old man, the great-looking his eye, and the voice of that old woman,

left me with a deep spirit of sadness.

All I could think of and lovel was to have my mom and daddy with me,

to see them release from the evil of wanted.

I'll just head to a durn and bring them back.

Okay, wait now.

Harriet, you don't seem to understand.

Then I'm nearly trying to capture you now. They're after your life.

My life is with God. This is with the devil.

I was gone on my side. I got to go where he called me.

No matter what evil this child is, that man.

Get her mom and daddy back on Dark Thompson's plantation, and I'll catch her gal for you.

My people gave up to this man.

Fought for this man.

He loves to declare nothing.

Love this man.

And it's all this love! Why are we all this free?

I've waited a long time for this, Miss Moses.

I've waited a long time for this man.

I've waited a long time for this man.

I've waited a long time for this man.
