Five, five.

The

next morning of the Overwatchaos…

domeel Miss sheezges.

predderrowned,

with the

fighting under,

Why do scruffy colonials persist in these hootile gestures of defiance?

Futeile color.

Want up ridges that you need to get your supplies through?

The temporary inconvenience actually.

Quite as ineffectual I show you.

Who is he trying to convince, damn?

Himself?

Us?

You will address me with the proper respect.

I am Colonel Trevalion, governor of his Britannic Majesty's Fourth Military District.

You know, I ain't too much on this year of military air kit.

What do I do?

Bow, salute or cut you?

You know, I kind of figured the curtain will want you to do all three.

We shall see how insolent you are tomorrow morning at sunrise.

Come along.

Daniel Boone was a man, just a big man.

He was brave, he was purest in his stuff, there's a mighty oak tree.

On a coon skin cap, on the top of old, and to the heel of his raw high shoe.

The rippiness, rawiness, fight in this man.

The fun, dear, ever knew.

Daniel Boone was a man, just a big man.

And he fought for America to make all Americans be.

Daniel Boone.

All right, trippin'.

Beep, go!

Beep, your hands are beep.

Oh, you scurvy lobster bass!

To remind compliments, gents, and other traits that I need you company.

Now, end here after.

Sell mates tonight.

Call us mates tomorrow.

My name is Daniel Boone.

My friend here is Steve Cooper.

Who might you be?

Sam Weaver.

Looks like they cuffed you around, Sam.

What did they get you for, Sam?

These blasted Tories.

They raided our farm.

Killed my folks.

I was away visiting relatives.

I got back.

Wasn't anything left but food stuffs and some grade.

I heard British reggatives were coming to confiscate it.

I couldn't let that food fall into enemy hands.

What'd you do, Sam?

I burned it.

All of it.

Wasn't about to let him use it against us.

He's a spunky one, ain't he?

I took off up into the hills and the British put a price on my head.

Then, just this morning, some of those good Tory citizens

hate the idea of our fighting for liberty.

They turn me in.

This is loyalist country, all right?

Public officials, merchants, housewives, everybody.

They're all loyal to the king.

It's worse than being a nest full of copperheads.

They hate us more than the redcoats do.

The redcoats are just doing their jobs as good soldiers,

but these blasted Tories, they'd like to take all the patriots

and boil them in oil.

Well, here we are, Meejis.

A delicious lost meal for the condemned.

Cold porridge.

Yeah.

But seeing as thou you're going to hang, you can order anything

else you like.

Providing it's more of the same.

Cold porridge.

Hehehehe.

Mark, you, it's no better nor no worse than what his magities

troops have to drink.

I says to myself, Harry Pickens, I says, Sargent Harry Pickens,

for the sooner you get out of it.

We need a saruse.

How old and boom?

Why?

You left the boat, man.

On a double, grab these buckets, mulell.

Come on, it's low.

You keep buckets.

Hot as hell.

You left the boat.

Come on.

Go below the guard, prisoners.

Gate post, I've got three.

Go around.

Let me out of here.

You win there.

Mark, let's find.

That's the fire.

The rest of you men spread out.

Sertiaan.

Come on.

War bunch.

Let's get out of here.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

Come on.

They won't be back this way.

Might as well save the strength and get some sleep.

It's good places, isn't it?

We'll move with first light.

Right, too.

Toward home and mother.

To safety behind her own lines.

First stop, Shelby.

Slim Chance of making it, Daniel.

That's more than a week's travel.

And this is all an artist's territory.

Shelby has more redcoats than the town with his left.

It won't guarantee it'll be easy.

Mr. Borne, we need food.

And a place to hide and rest and help in finding the right roads.

How can we do it?

You'll find a way.

We'll do it.

Daniel, I didn't want to save anything up to now,

but ain't we headed in wrong direction?

I hope Shelby's a place I want.

Come on.

We come from the north to do our job,

and they threw us in a jug and dove up.

Right.

Well, Shelby is even south of Dover.

Dangerous to go back the way we came.

They might be expected us.

Mr. Borne, this is the place I want.

Mr. Borne, this way's longer and riskier.

That's right, Sam, but we're going to have help.

We'll have help?

In here?

Morning to church.

The Auntie Dunphy's name, master bootmaker.

As long as you're up, I'd say you men need something sturdy for a walk-in comfort.

Instead of...

Vince's old footwear like this, Officer Gantar rides a lot.

Matter of fact, I ordered some boots.

I just dropped by to see if they were ready.

Don't seem to remember you.

What was the name?

Some people call me Richard.

Poor Richard.

Oh, well.

Bless King George.

My dim spark of mental intelligence must be flickering out.

I recall you now.

That's a right smart fit.

And enhance some lines to attract the ladies.

I'll send your old boots, old book.

You can pay the boy then.

I trust officers.

Now, sir, your boots are ready and waiting.

It comes to 20 shillings.

20 shillings?

I don't have that much. It's more than I counted on.

Sorry?

That's surprise.

Well, maybe I can borrow it.

He that goes a borrowing...

Goes a souring.

Yep.

That's just the way Ben Franklin wrote it in Poor Richard's home, and I...

Well, Mr. Dunfeus, nice to know you.

My name is...

Don't want to hear it.

No, their name's neither.

Ain't safe to know.

Something goes wrong. They might force it out of me.

You'll do fine.

Not for you.

Do you really think it'll work?

Well, not the first ones to work deep behind British lines.

Mr. Dunfeus got a lot of folks back once their mission's finished.

Lots of captured American soldiers that escaped British prison.

I helped them get back too.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I'm sure they're not sure.

I helped them get back too.

A secret escape route and a network of agents running on British noses.

No, that's so.

There's a peddlers wagon waiting for you right outside that door.

Plots and pans, household goods, trinkets.

What peddlers wagon?

You're new occupation, traveling peddlers.

There's food in the wagon, jerk venison, cold journey cake,

and a sack of dried corn should keep the wrinkles out of your belly until the next agent takes over.

Who'll that be?

Haven't the foggiest idea.

All I can tell you is a method for catching hold of you.

Don't take any chances, do you?

Can't afford to, tiny.

No agent knows the identity of any other agent in the system.

You mean we just passed from agent to agent along the escape route?

Best way to avoid a blunder.

You know what will happen if one of us miscalculates?

There wouldn't be enough left of our hide to make slippers for a one-legged grasshopper.

That's a powerful clever scheme you got there, boss.

Yep.

Here tell some fancy pants French officer on General Lafayette staff.

Hash it out.

Any of you know what little June called, we have lived and loved together, if not, I can teach it to you?

No, I think I know it.

Why?

From here, you go on to a Fort called Stoney Point.

You'll stop at the tavern there for refreshment.

And in there, kind of casual like, you'll whistle that little tune.

Then you'll wait to be approached.

How are we know who's the right woman?

Here's your sign and countersign.

Committed to your memory?

Let burn it.

And the quotation from poor Richard's only.

It's so fitting and proper choosing Ben Franklin.

The British just naturally hated him.

Now this is the most important part of your trip.

This map shows the next leg of your journey.

This route should be the safest as far as red coats and Tory rangers is concerned.

Turn it into your next agent, get a new map.

Why draw it on cloth?

In case you stopped and searched, they wouldn't think of looking at a neckerchief.

There was a frog lived in a pool.

Singing, song kitty, won't you tie me, you?

What sure was the biggest?

Song kitty, won't you tie me, you?

Keep, oh, I won't, dear, oh!

Khim, haH.

We here on dark, hym grIn, song kitty, won't you tie me, you?

Micro, okay.

Hoh!

Whoa.

What's going on up there?

A couple of lizard-green Tory rangers.

Dismount and submit to a search.

What's trouble, Corporal?

Private property suitable for war.

Use the subject to military appropriation.

By who's authority?

Commanding officer, ninth oil disregiment.

You carrying any weapons or firearms in here?

No, just pillars, goods.

Wait, you sell them from town to town?

Hey, a right-hand some pots.

Just with a soldier needs will tear his viddels.

We're happy to contribute.

They're fighting the rebels for us, you know.

Hey, cattle, steel needles, sewing on buttons.

Hey, grab this bolt of cloth.

It's about time we have some new shirts made.

Anything a soldier needs has military importance.

Ah, isn't it?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Ah, isn't it?

Wait.

Ah.

Just put it down over there.

Here's an hard one.

Have you seen the likes of this before?

No.

One tarnation you call us here, Petler.

Oh, that's, erm...

Do you know?

I don't know, Mr. Guy, no more mistake.

I know what it is.

That's an egg whip.

Sure, it's used for the latest thing from France.

We first saw it in Boston, you know.

An egg whip.

Sure, it's used for beating up eggs to make omelets.

Might have been curious.

Hm.

Petler not known as own stock.

Who are you, Mr. Hoskins?

Peter Hoskins, this is my nephew, and that's my sister.

Not knowing your own goods.

You know, I think the captain would like to have a little talk with you.

I'm putting you all under arrest.

You look over this, Mr.

Now what do we do with them?

We can't just leave them here.

Shoot them.

The Tories, ain't they? They deserve to die.

No, I understand how you feel, Sam.

Okay.

Move out.

Scramble that log. You face it, boy.

We'll be long before their friends come along and find them.

Then you know what happens to us.

You better get the stony cord.

Down in by an egg whip.

Morning, our new Sam, when we're safe, we're out of it.

I haven't had time to think about it much.

Guess I'll put down a route someplace.

Well, you're walking to stay on the booms, bro.

It's a nice little place on the South Bank.

Kentucky River in there is lots of fine land available.

Sounds real nice, thanks.

I'd like to settle down, maybe raise a family.

I'm a family man myself. It's a great satisfaction.

Country needs more families. We're growing all the time.

Hey, Daniel, why don't you tell her to fill them tuskarama's groves?

You think it's doing it good?

Well, maybe you can convince one of them to hitchhoe a meet for patriotic reasons.

Hurry up, then.

Suitable of you to drop in, knifers. Welcome to the hospitality of Molly Oakley.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

The cold apple cider can have me, please.

Cold is a landlord's ark.

You folks, newcomers, default stony point?

We'll just pass them through.

I want to pass through a good sometime in town.

Leave anything?

Just as, man.

Look around in your wagon.

Couldn't he pick a better town to do his wisdom?

No choice.

I'm just going to be discovered later.

I always did like that, too. Do you know the words?

Sure I do.

Quiet, everybody! Quiet! Quiet, quiet, quiet, everybody! Quiet!

I've got a young fella here who's got a sing for us.

Want to be back? Give me that.

You took off the fellow who couldn't pay his bill.

Here!

We have lived and loved together.

Through many are changing here.

We have shared each other's gladness.

And wept each other's tears.

I have never known such sorrow.

That was long unsouth by thee.

That was long unsouth by thee.

For thy smile can make a summer where darkness else would be.

For thy smile can make a summer where darkness would be.

Where darkness else would be.

Any of them give you the sound you were expecting?

Are you warm?

Should I whistle again?

Let me taste suspicious. You must get out of here.

Well, we go.

We're sitting here like a session of rain, girl. We'll be shocked.

We'll be back in a minute.

What's your order, friends?

We've read comfortable rooms.

Would you be stopping the night with us?

Maybe not.

A man who travels for a living needs his rest.

Early to bed and early to rise.

Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

This is a cool another for old Ben Franklin.

Tried to give you the sign inside.

I feel I'm being watched.

Especially since the last man I passed along about a week ago,

the poor devil was wounded, forgot his instructions,

and bowled himself into a British patrol and was recaptured.

It might be my imagination, but I don't feel entirely safe.

A brave woman, Ma.

Oh, I don't know. This business gives a body nightmares.

I keep dreaming of a British rope in my neck that's into it

like a duck's foot in the mud.

We know the feeling.

Go to my cabin. Far into the fort.

I'll turn the cabin over to one of my opus.

Wait for me.

As my old papa used to say,

every shot I ain't sleep and every goodbye ain't gone.

Peats, trees and chicken gizzards.

Women's these days are as slick as lizards.

Give me the old map.

Burn this.

As I said, you'll split up.

You two take this road here through New Oak Valley

and you, this other road past Ridgeville.

Both roads come together at Cedar Creek.

You'll meet right here at a fur trader's cabin.

Ain't much water in the creek this time of year,

and if John Bull is trialing yet, he'll expect you to cross over.

But as I understand it, the new agent has different ideas.

You wear this now.

Any reason?

The best. They have your descriptions.

Have to fit you out now to look different.

And what I have in mind for you, my tall friend,

a rag on your neck. I'm stupid.

Now, that ain't problems.

Afternoon, your servants.

Afternoon. Sure hope you ain't no hurry.

No, just on the way to Fairville to fill the pulpit and the new church.

We just buried one of our boys back there, a horse throwing him, broke his neck.

I wonder if you could preach him a few words, kind of send him on his way.

I'm glad to say a prayer for one of the gallant royalist rangers.

I think it might be better if I, uh,

spoke from the heart.

As the, uh, flower,

the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water.

I think it might be better if I, uh, spoke from the heart.

As the, uh, flower, uh, the glory of man withers away.

But the souls of the righteous are in the hands of the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the Lord.

To the hands of the Lord.

To the unwise, uh,

Dick Simpson.

Dick Simpson, you seem to die, but you are in peace.

Though you seem punished in the eyes of man,

your hopes are full of immortality and you shall be greatly rewarded

for God proved you and found you worthy for himself, amen.

Thank you, you reverents.

We're on, uh, patrol, hunting down some traitorous rebels.

They make out to be peddlers, but, uh,

they're gonna be hung the minute they're found.

Mercy be granted their souls.

You ain't seen nothing of them, have you?

A big black fella?

Young boy about 20 and a tall man?

Tall man?

Yeah, about your height.

Sorry, uh, I'll keep a sharp eye open.

Bless your brothers.

Be protected.

Just like the letter says, Corporal Emmett,

bringing us escaped slave back to my father and Raleigh.

And that's the biggest slave I've ever laid me eyes on.

What's your name, big fella?

Ruby.

Funny he wouldn't run off again, uh,

you with no gun and him without leg chains or manacles.

Wouldn't do any good?

He just break out of him.

He's got a real thing about chains.

Oh, yazee, yazee.

You've got a real thing about chains, have you?

Hmm.

You know, Ruben, are you as strong as you look, eh?

Sitting in this smelly barn all day makes tedious duty.

We ain't had those a day of sporting wigs.

Bring him over here.

Come on.

But all those people are waiting to be checked through?

I don't think you'll hurt me.

Bring him over here.

Do what the man says, Ruben.

Right, lads, chain him over.

You know, it appears to me, Ruben,

that you've got the strength of ten men locked up in those hickory log arms of yours.

Prove it, and you're on your way.

You don't, then you'll work for us.

Fill in potholes in that road out there.

From here to kingdom come.

Right, who's next?

You.

Easy, copper.

That slave's worth $500.

My father happens to be a very close friend of Colonel Trevellian.

You try anything foolish, and I'll probably take it out of your pay for the next few years.

Train up that mess, plus you.

I don't get out of here.

Both of you.

Everybody here?

Look out!

Boy, boom.

How are you?

I got the risk of sneaking up on a man like that.

Anybody around, Mr. Boom?

I don't know.

So some bread and some apple hurt.

Hungry.

We went too sure we'd make it.

Ah, it was a better way for her.

Yeah.

You almost didn't.

No, no, no.

He means we had ourselves a real hard-stopper with some red coats.

Yeah, they tried to give me a bad time and I almost spoiled everything.

I had kind of an air squeeze, too.

You people turn around real gentle like now because I be armed.

No, I'm not a trusted man, even a preacher.

You come here a piece of a like, you aim to steal me first.

You keep your first friends.

We're just worried, Traverse, seeking to rest a split.

The only trouble is we may rest too long and waste time.

What they say, that's that love life, do not squander time.

For that's the stuff life is made of.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

The first friendly face we've seen in days.

My partner would be out in the woods with a horse and wagon.

I'll send him a smoke signal.

He'll come for you.

My name's Pettigrew.

Who might you all be?

I asked you a question, Mr.

I'm thinking, Mr. Pettigrew, that you agents aren't supposed to ask the names.

Don't you move?

Yes, why didn't you know that?

No!

Get inside, my friend.

I'll see you in the back.

Where are these cabinets?

Mr. Boone, come look at this.

Finish him up, dude.

Thanks, I heard you talkin'.

My name's Russ

Here's your new map.

I can't find a large board and a glass.

I'll give you some new clothes and new instructions later.

We can't hold out in here, love.

Don't have to, come on, come on.

It's a nice little life stone to tell.

We're under the hill to the other side.

When we discovered it, we built this cabin up against it.

Have to give it up now.

There we go.

Put it on.

Hold it.

Don't don't screw up.

Put it on.

Take a seat.

There's no vehicle.

Absolutely not.

Take the lights and rules, the station is milking over.

Nope, but if you're sure to watch these controls,

I'm always glad to see the Rangers getting new recruits.

But I've got me a day's work to finish.

I'll take your part way tonight.

Uh, Henry, go and get some fiddles ready and spend out some extra blankets for these people.

That's mighty careless of you getting lost.

These days it's a heat dangerous being neglectful.

A little neglect may breed mischief.

The want of a nail, the shoe was lost.

For one of the shoe, the horse was lost.

The rider was lost.

Our agent at Cedar Creek was right.

This is the last link in the chain.

Come down, we head to the American lines. Look like Barry Pickers.

There are many Barry's left this time of year.

There's no other excuse for covering your movements.

We'll just have to take our chances. You'll find some sacks up there and make it comfortable.

Between the British and American lines, there's a bridge. It's guarded by Hessians.

Now, they have no stake in this war. They just like money.

Well, thanks to a well-placed bribe or two, the sergeant of the Hessian Guard Detachment orders his men to look the other way when Barry Pickers cross the bridge.

Hear that, Sam?

Come tomorrow morning. It's home again.

That's only until you and Mr. Boone get orders to blow up another British bridge.

Here's a pillow for you.

Here's another.

Better turn in.

There.

It's not it, are you?

I recognize it.

It must have been my imagination.

Best turn in.

I forgot to ask you.

That map you carry, I have to set it back to the escape agent. It's proof that another escape party reached the end of the line.

Gabe, you've got it.

Yeah, I'll put it.

It's gone.

It's not here.

You know, Boone? There's something off the fishy here.

You think you're missing friends stole the map while we slept?

He could have, but why?

Gabe, do you recall earlier in the evening when Sam said we were ordered to blow up a British bridge?

Yeah?

I never told him that.

Not here.

You know, Boone?

There's something off the fishy here.

A British bridge?

Yeah?

I never told him that. Not adoverin' or any time.

Did you?

No, I didn't.

Gentlemen, we're in bad trouble.

What could he be, Boone?

I don't know, Gabe. Fletcher, you stay here.

If we're not back in 15 minutes, it's got a hold of the escape agent.

Tell him to call in all of his men, no matter what.

It's now too late already.

Congratulations, Lieutenant Reaver.

Or should I go to you, Sam?

I couldn't have picked a better man to figure out the secrets of the escape system.

You know, there was one time when I almost ruined everything.

Then, of course, some of our own people almost spoiled everything along the way.

They kept running and going.

And we kept the pressure on pretending to pursue to hurry them along.

Now, thanks to the notes you took.

We know everything.

The route, the names of the agents, the places of freedom, the people of the nation,

the route, the names of the agents, the places of contact, the signs, counter signs,

I can smash their entire apparatus in one blow.

Then you have troops ready, sir.

To deploy it outside the fort. I didn't want to alarm anyone, but now I can give the order.

To one group to surround the blacksmith's cabin and retake the prisoners, and to the other,

to move on the escape agents and round them up.

It's a shame to have to spoil things for you.

You fools your surroundings. Don't ever get out of the fort, all right!

The master found you.

Or is it left-tenant weaver?

Samuel Forbes weaver.

Senior left-tenant.

British Army.

You can start preparing for another role left-tenant.

Prisoner of war. Take him, Gable.

And others of the crown become his prisoner, I don't have to die.

Hey, no, Sonny. I got a feeling that we're dying.

We can make you heal.

How about some more apple-cobbler, Gabe?

My mouth says yes, but my stomach says,

hey up there, quick crowding.

Tomorrow's another day.

Yeah, I know, but he ain't like there's no tomorrow.

Now, Daniel, you know Rebecca's the best cook in Boosboro.

Hey, man.

In the whole world!

Hey, I'll have some more.

Oh.

Well, next time I'm going on an important mission.

Can you tell Paul to take me along?

He's right over there. Why don't you ask me himself?

Because he doesn't always listen to me, but he always listens to you.

In that case, next time we're going on an important mission,

I'll tell him, don't go.

Dan, you were going so very long. Can't you tell me anything about it?

Oh, there's not much tell. Just tell the things that do for the Army.

Well, did any good come out of it?

No, a few things.

Like what?

Well, I did learn the words to a new song.

How's it go?

Um...

We have lived and loved together through many a changing year.

We have shared each other's laughter and wept each other's tears.

Hey, that was worth coming home for.

Mush.

Mush?

Here, I thought you were so wrapped up in yourself,

he didn't have time to think of me.

Now, where did you get an idea like that?

He the falls in love with himself, half no rivals.

Benjamin Franklin.

Richard acquainted with poor Richard's all-man act.

Never heard of it.

James, sometimes I don't understand you at all.
