00:13:30,077 --> 00:13:31,812
You must be half
starving by now.
188
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:35,983
Well, I don't have
any flour for bread,
189
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:38,052
but I do have some
vegetables still.
190
00:13:38,052 --> 00:13:40,922
And I shot a hare today,
so I hope stew's okay.
191
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:44,392
- [Douglas] You sure I haven't
died and gone to heaven?
192
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:47,227
- When you've been stuffed
inside these four walls
193
00:13:47,227 --> 00:13:48,762
for as long as I have,
194
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:51,965
never knowing what
dangers are outside,
195
00:13:53,367 --> 00:13:56,470
never knowing when your loved
ones are gonna come home,
196
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:58,738
well, that doesn't sound
like heaven to me at all.
197
00:14:02,643 --> 00:14:05,712
How many men have
you killed, mister...
198
00:14:07,582 --> 00:14:10,150
(Douglas sighs)
(somber orchestral music)
199
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:11,052
- Beam.
200
00:14:14,955 --> 00:14:17,457
You know, they never
quite felt like the enemy.
201
00:14:17,457 --> 00:14:19,125
I met a few.
202
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:21,395
Talked to 'em over the
picket line at night.
203
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:23,997
Fought in the morning.
204
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:29,770
- How many?
205
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:34,275
- I don't know.
206
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:37,812
I have hit a few. I know that.
207
00:14:39,347 --> 00:14:41,115
Can't say if they lived or died.
208
00:14:42,883 --> 00:14:46,153
Other times, I stood in a line
with my company and fired.
209
00:14:46,153 --> 00:14:47,387
Men on the other side dropped.
210
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:49,890
I can't say if it
was from my bullet.
211
00:14:52,358 --> 00:14:53,960
- Your bayonet has blood on it.
212
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:56,830
- Yes, ma'am.
213
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,102
- [Aura-Lee] Well, I suppose
you didn't have a choice.
214
00:15:03,103 --> 00:15:04,003
- No.
215
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:08,208
- Is that when you were wounded?
216
00:15:11,312 --> 00:15:12,813
- He shot me in the shoulder.
217
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:16,417
- [Aura-Lee] Did he die?
218
00:15:17,618 --> 00:15:18,518
- Yes.
219
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,755
Slowly. But he wasn't a bad man.
220
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:24,625
- Neither are you.
221
00:15:26,193 --> 00:15:28,495
He was doing his duty
and you did yours.
222
00:15:30,797 --> 00:15:32,065
Still, it is sad.
223
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,868
Come. Let's say a
prayer together.
224
00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:37,470
One more, before we eat?
225
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:50,183
- Dear Heavenly Father, deliver
thou servant from all evil,
226
00:15:50,183 --> 00:15:51,718
and free him from every bond.
227
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:57,825
Grant him entrance
into the land of peace
228
00:15:57,825 --> 00:15:59,593
in fellowship with our saints.
229
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,195
May he rest in peace.
230
00:16:03,697 --> 00:16:06,400
In Jesus' name, we pray.
231
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,300
Amen.
232
00:16:08,202 --> 00:16:09,102
- Amen.
233
00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:16,777
(wind howls)
234
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,718
You'll have to
tell me how it is.
235
00:16:24,718 --> 00:16:26,487
My mother taught me how
to cook with spices,
236
00:16:26,487 --> 00:16:29,022
but I haven't had any in months.
237
00:16:29,022 --> 00:16:30,690
- It is absolutely delicious.
238
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,325
You know, it reminds me of home.
239
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:35,228
When food was easy to come
by and I was never cold.
240
00:16:35,228 --> 00:16:37,063
- Is your family Irish as well?
241
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:40,400
- English. Born and bred.
242
00:16:41,635 --> 00:16:43,003
And Protestant, to boot.
243
00:16:43,003 --> 00:16:44,838
- Yeah. I heard your prayer.
244
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:47,007
- (chuckles) Hope you
won't hold it against me.
245
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,308
- You're a Yankee
dog, aren't you?
246
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:49,743
I didn't hold that against you.
247
00:16:49,743 --> 00:16:51,512
- (chuckles) Irish Catholic?
248
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:56,683
- Aye. Just like me daddy and
me great granddaddy before me.
249
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:59,252

- Hey, what was that?
252
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:10,697
- [Aura-Lee] What?
253
00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:15,768
- That noise, up on the
housetop. It sounded like steps.
254
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:17,137
- Steps?
255
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:22,442

I shall eat slowly.

00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:35,648
My whole family used to be here.
363
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:38,385
- I remember them well.
364
00:23:38,385 --> 00:23:40,687
With my own family, of course.
365
00:23:42,722 --> 00:23:47,360
Do you happen to remember
when you were young,
366
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,628
waiting for Santa Claus?
367
00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:53,367
- (chuckles) Oh. yes. I was
bursting with excitement.
368
00:23:53,367 --> 00:23:55,302
I'd rush down to the fireplace
369
00:23:55,302 --> 00:23:57,737
to see what old St. Nick
had left in my stocking.
370
00:24:02,742 --> 00:24:06,580
- Ladies, and gentlemen.
371
00:24:06,580 --> 00:24:10,483
"A Visit From St. Nicholas",
by Clement C. Moore.
372
00:24:15,722 --> 00:24:18,325
"'Twas the night
before Christmas,
373
00:24:18,325 --> 00:24:20,160
when all through the house,
374
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,597
not a creature was
stirring, not even a mouse.
375
00:24:23,597 --> 00:24:26,500
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,
376
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:30,537
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there.
377
00:24:30,537 --> 00:24:33,240
The children were nestled
all snug in their beds,
378
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,408
while visions of sugar-plums
danced in their heads.
379
00:24:36,408 --> 00:24:39,512
And mamma in her
'kerchief, and I in my cap,
380
00:24:39,512 --> 00:24:42,748
had just settled our brains
for a long winter's nap.
381
00:24:42,748 --> 00:24:45,818
When out on the lawn,
there arose such a clatter.
382
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:48,322
I sprang from my bed to
see what was the matter.
383
00:24:48,322 --> 00:24:50,457
Away to the window,
I flew like a flash.
384
00:24:50,457 --> 00:24:53,327
Tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash.
385
00:24:53,327 --> 00:24:55,628
The moon on the breast
of the new-fallen snow
386
00:24:56,730 --> 00:24:59,065
gave a luster of midday
to objects below.
387
00:24:59,065 --> 00:25:02,035
When what to my wondering
eye should appear
388
00:25:02,035 --> 00:25:06,338
but a miniature sleigh
and eight tiny reindeer.
389
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:09,442
With a little old driver,
so lively and quick,
390
00:25:09,442 --> 00:25:12,578
I knew in a moment,
it must be St. Nick.
391
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:15,715
More rapid than eagles,
his coursers, they came,
392
00:25:15,715 --> 00:25:18,452
and he whistled and shouted,
and called them by name.
393
00:25:18,452 --> 00:25:20,420
'Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!
394
00:25:20,420 --> 00:25:21,722
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
395
00:25:21,722 --> 00:25:23,323
On, Comet! on, Cupid!
396
00:25:23,323 --> 00:25:25,025
On, Donder and Blitzen!
(Aura-Lee giggles)
397
00:25:25,025 --> 00:25:27,460
To the top of the porch.
To the top of the wall.
398
00:25:27,460 --> 00:25:29,628
Now, dash away. Dash away.
399
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:31,030
Dash away, all.'
400
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:35,135
As dry leaves that before
the wild hurricane fly,
401
00:25:35,135 --> 00:25:38,238
when they meet with an
obstacle, mount to the sky.
402
00:25:38,238 --> 00:25:40,740
So up to the housetop,
the coursers, they flew,
403
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:44,310
with the sleigh full of
toys, and St. Nicholas, too.
404
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:48,582
And then, in a twinkling,
I heard on the roof
405
00:25:48,582 --> 00:25:51,852
the prancing and pawing
of each little hoof.
406
00:25:51,852 --> 00:25:54,520
As I drew in my head
and was turning around,
407
00:25:55,822 --> 00:25:58,925
down the chimney, St.
Nicholas came with a bound.
408
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:01,762
He was dressed all in fur,
from his head to his foot,
409
00:26:01,762 --> 00:26:04,530
and his clothes were all
tarnished with ashes and soot.
410
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:06,933
A bundle of toys he
had flung on his back,
411
00:26:06,933 --> 00:26:09,568
and he looked like a peddler
just opening his pack.
412
00:26:10,737 --> 00:26:12,405
His eyes.
413
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,307
How they twinkled.
414
00:26:14,307 --> 00:26:15,942
His dimples, how merry.
415
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:21,513
His cheeks were like roses,
his nose like a cherry.
416
00:26:22,682 --> 00:26:24,717
His droll little mouth
was drawn up like a bow,
417
00:26:24,717 --> 00:26:26,185
and the beard on his chin
418
00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:31,023
was as white as the snow.
419
00:26:31,023 --> 00:26:34,093
(Douglas chuckles)
420
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:36,495
The stump of a pipe, he
held tight in his teeth,
421
00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:41,133
and the smoke, it encircled
his head like a wreath.
422
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:44,770
He had a broad face and
a little round belly
423
00:26:44,770 --> 00:26:47,573
that shook when he laughed,
like a bowl full of jelly.
424
00:26:47,573 --> 00:26:50,843
He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
425
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:54,747
and I laughed when I saw
him, in spite of myself.
426
00:26:55,915 --> 00:26:58,852
A wink of his eye and
a twist of his head
427
00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:02,522
soon gave me to know I
had nothing to dread.
428
00:27:02,522 --> 00:27:05,225
He spoke not a word, went
straight to his work,
429
00:27:05,225 --> 00:27:08,495
filled up the stockings and
then turned with a jerk.
430
00:27:08,495 --> 00:27:12,165
Then laying his finger aside
of his nose, and giving a nod,
431
00:27:12,165 --> 00:27:14,100
up the chimney he rose.
432
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,270
He sprang to his sleigh, and
to his team gave a whistle,
433
00:27:17,270 --> 00:27:19,305
and away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.
434
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:23,275
But I heard him exclaim,
'ere he drove out of sight.
435
00:27:23,275 --> 00:27:27,780
'Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night.'"
436
00:27:28,948 --> 00:27:33,487
(Aura-Lee chuckles)
(Aura-Lee claps)
437
00:27:33,487 --> 00:27:37,257
(Aura-Lee chuckles)
438
00:27:37,257 --> 00:27:39,692
You know, I think
your clock is broken.
439
00:27:39,692 --> 00:27:41,762
- I know. It was my mother's.
440
00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:45,565
My mother, she
always used to put
441
00:27:45,565 --> 00:27:48,602
two little figurines
under the Christmas tree,
442
00:27:48,602 --> 00:27:50,937
like they were getting
married on Christmas Day
443
00:27:50,937 --> 00:27:53,940
(Douglas chuckles)
444
00:27:58,712 --> 00:28:00,180
- Like we could.
445
00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:01,948
Maybe this time next year?
446
00:28:02,848 --> 00:28:04,283
- Don't tease me, Mr. Beam.
447
00:28:04,283 --> 00:28:07,020
- (chuckles) Oh, no, I
wouldn't tease about that.
448
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:10,790
I think you are the most
beautiful girl I have ever seen.
449
00:28:12,925 --> 00:28:14,427
- Thank you.
450
00:28:14,427 --> 00:28:16,595
I truly have had a magical time.
451
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:19,732
But my heart belongs to another.
452
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,470
A boy I knew long ago.
453
00:28:25,738 --> 00:28:27,273
He'll return for me, one day.
454
00:28:29,108 --> 00:28:30,008
I know he will.
455
00:28:32,478 --> 00:28:33,747
- He's a very lucky man.
456
00:28:36,817 --> 00:28:39,252
- Well, Mr. Beam,
you have been fed,
457
00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:42,222
I have cleaned your wounds,
458
00:28:42,222 --> 00:28:45,692
and my grandfather is probably
on the long road home by now.
459
00:28:45,692 --> 00:28:48,662
Lord knows what he'd do if he
found a Yankee in his house.
460
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:53,232
- Aura-Lee, there is
something that I need to-
461
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:54,267
- No.
462
00:28:54,267 --> 00:28:55,335
Please, Mr. Beam.
463
00:28:56,335 --> 00:28:57,970
For your own safety,
you have to go.
464
00:28:59,072 --> 00:29:01,073
But you will always
be in my prayers.
465
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:02,308
- Just one more song.
466
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:04,910
Please? A quiet one.
467
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:08,380
For me to remember in the
days and the months ahead.
468
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:11,952

469
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:22,262

troubling you, Mr. Beam?

- Yes.
512
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:22,375
- What is it?
513
00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:24,710
You can tell me.

00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:28,882

Your grandfather is not
coming home tonight.

(Aura-Lee chuckles)

00:32:34,753 --> 00:32:36,022
- Sure he is!
518
00:32:36,022 --> 00:32:38,523
I received a message
not only a week ago.
519
00:32:38,523 --> 00:32:40,092
He and his company received
a pass for Christmas Day.
520
00:32:40,092 --> 00:32:42,128
- Aura-Lee, your grandfather...
521
00:32:44,397 --> 00:32:47,133
Your grandfather died
on the road, today.
522
00:32:49,335 --> 00:32:51,503
- What?
523
00:32:51,503 --> 00:32:52,972
- No.
524
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:55,073
No, how could you know?
- He was wounded badly and...
525
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:56,975
I did what I could
to comfort him.
526
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:58,678
I built him a fire
to lay next to.
527
00:33:00,145 --> 00:33:01,613
(somber orchestral music)
528
00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:02,748
- No.
529
00:33:02,748 --> 00:33:04,250
- I gave him my
jacket as a pillow.
530
00:33:07,953 --> 00:33:12,425
I did everything I could, but
his wounds were just too...
531
00:33:12,425 --> 00:33:13,525
- I don't believe it.
532
00:33:16,128 --> 00:33:17,497
- We spoke for hours.
533
00:33:18,965 --> 00:33:23,402
He asked me for a pencil and a
paper and he wrote this poem.
534
00:33:25,270 --> 00:33:26,638
Making his peace with God.
535
00:33:28,975 --> 00:33:31,610
(bells rattle)
536

00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:45,925
- [Charlie] Lord God,
I've never spoken to you,
538
00:33:45,925 --> 00:33:48,895
but now I want to
say, "How do you do?"
539
00:33:48,895 --> 00:33:51,863
You see, God, they told
me you didn't exist,
540
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:54,600
and like a fool, I
believed all of this.
541
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,403
Last night from a shell
hole, I saw your sky.
542
00:33:58,403 --> 00:34:00,907
I figured right then they
were telling me a lie.
543
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,610
Had I taken time to see
the things you made,
544
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:07,913
I'd have known they weren't
calling a spade a spade.
545
00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:10,115
I wonder, God, if
you'll take my hand.
546
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:13,218
Somehow, I feel that
you'll understand.
547
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:16,088
Funny how I had to come
to this hellish place
548
00:34:16,088 --> 00:34:18,792
before I had time
to see your face.
549
00:34:19,925 --> 00:34:22,362
Well, I guess there
isn't much more to say,
550
00:34:22,362 --> 00:34:25,565
but I'm sure glad,
God, I met you today.
551
00:34:25,565 --> 00:34:28,433
I guess the zero hour
will soon be here,
552
00:34:28,433 --> 00:34:31,437
but I'm not afraid,
since I know you're near.
553
00:34:31,437 --> 00:34:33,305
Well, God, I have to go.
554
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:36,242
I like you lots. This
I want you to know.
555
00:34:36,242 --> 00:34:38,377
Look, now this will
be a horrible fight.
556
00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:41,680
Who knows? I may come
to your house tonight.
557
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,183
Though I wasn't
friendly to you before,
558
00:34:44,183 --> 00:34:46,552
I wonder, God, if you'd
wait at your door.
559
00:34:47,653 --> 00:34:50,388
Look, I'm crying.
Me, shedding tears.
560
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:53,325
I wish I had known
you these many years.
561
00:34:53,325 --> 00:34:55,895
Well, I have to go
now, God. Goodbye.
562
00:34:57,830 --> 00:34:59,765
Strange now, since I met you,
563
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:02,902
I'm not afraid to die.
564
00:35:06,972 --> 00:35:08,307
- He always was a poet.
565
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:13,913
You won't be coming
home tonight, Grandpa.
566
00:35:15,515 --> 00:35:16,482

Thank you for taking care
of him in his final hours.

00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:08,720

606
00:38:10,957 --> 00:38:14,027
(Aura-Lee sniffles)
607
00:38:19,632 --> 00:38:21,167
Please, sir.
608
00:38:21,167 --> 00:38:23,468
Before the night is over.
609
00:38:23,468 --> 00:38:24,970
Please tell me a little more.
610
00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:29,308
- You don't need to hear
the gory details, ma'am.
611
00:38:29,308 --> 00:38:30,408
- I'm begging you.
612
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:38,683
- He was stabbed in the
stomach, with a bayonet.
613
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,323
That kind of wound,
you don't recover,
614
00:38:44,323 --> 00:38:46,825
and you don't die quickly.
615
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,935
His last words were of you.
616
00:38:58,437 --> 00:39:00,605
He longed to see you stride
down a wedding aisle,
617
00:39:00,605 --> 00:39:02,742
wearing your mother's dress.
618
00:39:02,742 --> 00:39:04,310
The one your grandmother made?
619
00:39:06,045 --> 00:39:08,480
- He had picked out
the perfect roses
620
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,548
to string across
my wedding path.
621
00:39:11,817 --> 00:39:14,053
You know the ones that look
like your cheeks blush?
622
00:39:16,655 --> 00:39:18,757
He even picked out
the perfect song, too.
623
00:39:20,325 --> 00:39:23,428
- What was it?
(Aura-Lee chuckles)
624
00:39:23,428 --> 00:39:24,963

Grandpa Charlie always
loved the forest,
645
00:41:15,875 --> 00:41:17,910
and he was terrified
of the doctor.
646
00:41:20,345 --> 00:41:22,582
I'm at least glad he
got to die outside,
647

under God's big sky.
648
00:41:27,252 --> 00:41:29,322
- I buried him under
a big ol' oak tree.
649
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:32,023
It was a beautiful place.
650
00:41:32,023 --> 00:41:34,593
Even amongst all this...
651
00:41:34,593 --> 00:41:35,995
(sighs) Ugliness.
652
00:41:37,428 --> 00:41:39,365
I sang a song and said
a prayer over his grave,
653
00:41:39,365 --> 00:41:40,498
before traveling on.
654
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:46,905

I wonder if you'll

sang to my grandpa.

Where are you from, Mr. Beam?
702
00:45:34,065 --> 00:45:36,835
- Here. West
Virginia, same as you.
703
00:45:36,835 --> 00:45:39,572
- So many men from
West Virginia.
704
00:45:39,572 --> 00:45:41,340
Seems like half are
fighting for the South
705
00:45:41,340 --> 00:45:43,475
and the others for the North.
706
00:45:44,943 --> 00:45:47,745
Kinda just seems like
we're fighting each other.

00:45:47,745 --> 00:45:48,880
- Yes. (chuckles)
708
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,015
Yes, it does.
709
00:45:51,150 --> 00:45:53,118
- Why did you put on
the Yankee uniform?
710
00:45:54,285 --> 00:45:55,687
I mean, I never
thought to ask Grandpa
711
00:45:55,687 --> 00:45:58,090
why he was fighting
for the Confederacy.
712
00:45:58,090 --> 00:46:00,825
I just asked him
to come home safe.
713
00:46:02,393 --> 00:46:04,563
- West Virginia's brand new.
714
00:46:04,563 --> 00:46:07,132
It's barely even a
state. (chuckles)
715
00:46:07,132 --> 00:46:08,900
Most of us consider
ourselves residents
716
00:46:08,900 --> 00:46:10,702
of where we came from.
717
00:46:10,702 --> 00:46:13,438
- Grandpa joined the
Virginia volunteers.
718
00:46:13,438 --> 00:46:15,773
He grew up not even 10
miles south of here.
719
00:46:18,277 --> 00:46:20,378
- My family has
always fought slavery.
720
00:46:20,378 --> 00:46:22,180
- But how do you
operate your farm?
721
00:46:22,180 --> 00:46:24,182
- We pay our workers.
722
00:46:24,182 --> 00:46:25,850
In turn, they rent
their lodgings from us
723
00:46:25,850 --> 00:46:28,020
and pay us for the
food we provide.
724
00:46:29,655 --> 00:46:32,223
- [Aura-Lee] That doesn't
seem any different.
725
00:46:32,223 --> 00:46:35,160
- (chuckles) No. I suppose not.
726
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,928
But they're free to come
and go, as they please,
727
00:46:36,928 --> 00:46:39,263
and no one will ever be whipped.
728
00:46:40,432 --> 00:46:42,567
- I did see a whipping, once.
729
00:46:42,567 --> 00:46:44,503
I was on a trip,
deep in the South.
730
00:46:46,172 --> 00:46:47,238
It was awful.
731
00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:49,808
- [Douglas] I'm sure it was.
732
00:46:51,108 --> 00:46:53,578
- We had a family of
Negroes when I was younger.
733
00:46:54,813 --> 00:46:58,283
I mean, Grandpa told me
to always treat them well,
734
00:46:58,283 --> 00:47:01,453
and be nice to them, but to
remember that they are property.
735
00:47:01,453 --> 00:47:03,122
- (sighs) I'm sure he
meant well by that.
736
00:47:03,122 --> 00:47:04,890
But I don't really
think that that's-
737
00:47:04,890 --> 00:47:07,192
- [Aura-Lee] You Yankees just
think he's an awful person.
738
00:47:07,192 --> 00:47:08,227
- No!
739
00:47:08,227 --> 00:47:09,528
No.
740
00:47:09,528 --> 00:47:11,663
I think he grew up in
a different time and
741
00:47:11,663 --> 00:47:13,198
at a different place.
742
00:47:13,198 --> 00:47:14,967
- And all this is
worth it to you?
743
00:47:15,900 --> 00:47:18,037
All the killing?
744
00:47:18,037 --> 00:47:19,503
All the fighting?
745
00:47:20,305 --> 00:47:22,173
- Well, it is most regrettable.
746
00:47:23,875 --> 00:47:27,312
- Nobody would fight for
us. We're just poor Irish.
747
00:47:30,515 --> 00:47:31,417
- I would.
748
00:47:32,985 --> 00:47:35,087
- Well, you're a
good man, Mr. Beam.
749
00:47:37,622 --> 00:47:41,293
Do you really think they'd
be happier working for you,
750
00:47:42,327 --> 00:47:44,395
than working as slaves
on a plantation?
751
00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:47,498
- They have their freedom now.
752
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:51,035
They can learn to
read and write.
753
00:47:51,035 --> 00:47:52,437
They are free to
better themselves,
754
00:47:52,437 --> 00:47:54,238
and choose their own destiny.
755
00:47:54,238 --> 00:47:55,840
Same as almost any other man.
756
00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:58,577
- Not the same as any woman.
757
00:48:00,112 --> 00:48:01,947
- Well, now you're
just being silly.
758
00:48:03,115 --> 00:48:05,950
- Forgive me, sir,
for I'm only a woman.
759
00:48:07,218 --> 00:48:09,655
(Aura-Lee chuckles)
760
00:48:09,655 --> 00:48:11,923
Would you mind if I
sing another song?
761
00:48:11,923 --> 00:48:14,660
It was my mother's
favorite Christmas song.
762
00:48:14,660 --> 00:48:17,328
My grandpa loved to
listen to her sing it.
763
00:48:18,397 --> 00:48:19,297
- Please do.
764
00:48:24,235 --> 00:48:27,238

You may sleep on the floor by
the fire tonight, Mr. Beam.
785
00:49:50,055 --> 00:49:52,090
I wish you safe
travels in the morning.
786
00:49:57,695 --> 00:49:59,798
- You sing as beautifully
as your mother.
787
00:50:03,535 --> 00:50:06,738
Aura-Lee, there is more
that I need to tell you.
788
00:50:08,973 --> 00:50:12,543
(somber orchestral music)
789
00:50:14,913 --> 00:50:18,283
In the battle, I became
separated from my company.
790
00:50:18,283 --> 00:50:20,085
I wandered the
woods for some time,
791
00:50:20,085 --> 00:50:22,420
and then I came upon
the trail to your cabin.
792
00:50:23,522 --> 00:50:25,090
It's like an angel
was guiding me,
793
00:50:25,090 --> 00:50:29,560
and for the first time in my
life, I was on the right path.
794
00:50:31,730 --> 00:50:33,332
And then I felt it.
795
00:50:34,132 --> 00:50:35,667
(muffled gun fires)
796
00:50:35,667 --> 00:50:38,537
Pain in my shoulder
that you cannot imagine.
797
00:50:39,603 --> 00:50:41,507
The bullet went
straight through.
798
00:50:41,507 --> 00:50:44,042
I turned. The man who shot
me was busy reloading.
799
00:50:44,042 --> 00:50:45,910
So, I charged him and I...
800
00:50:46,878 --> 00:50:49,247
I stabbed him with my bayonet.
801
00:50:51,182 --> 00:50:55,487
(somber orchestral
music continues)
802
00:50:59,723 --> 00:51:03,962
(somber orchestral
music continues)
803
00:51:06,998 --> 00:51:09,333
- [Aura-Lee] What
are you saying to me?
804
00:51:09,333 --> 00:51:10,902
- I had no choice.
805
00:51:16,373 --> 00:51:19,710
(Charlie pants and groans)
806
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:20,978
- Douglas?
807
00:51:20,978 --> 00:51:21,947
Douglas.
808
00:51:21,947 --> 00:51:23,315
I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
809
00:51:23,315 --> 00:51:25,250
- No!
- It's okay.
810
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:28,052
(Charlie groans)
811
00:51:32,157 --> 00:51:33,458
- I can't move.
812
00:51:39,463 --> 00:51:41,165
- You killed my grandfather?
813
00:51:41,165 --> 00:51:43,968
- I never wanted this,
Aura-Lee. It's this war.
814
00:51:43,968 --> 00:51:45,403
- You monster.
815
00:51:45,403 --> 00:51:47,205
- [Douglas] No. No,
he was doing his duty.
816
00:51:47,205 --> 00:51:50,075
I was doing mine. You
said so, yourself!
817
00:51:50,075 --> 00:51:51,843
- I fed you!
818
00:51:51,843 --> 00:51:53,712
I cleaned your wound! (scoffs)
819
00:51:53,712 --> 00:51:57,082
I sat here and I sang
Christmas songs with you!
820
00:51:57,082 --> 00:51:58,683
- [Douglas] Aura-Lee, I'm sorry!
821
00:51:58,683 --> 00:52:02,153
- I should've shot you, the
moment you knocked on my door!
822
00:52:02,153 --> 00:52:04,022
Leave! Get out!
823
00:52:04,022 --> 00:52:05,623
- I'm so sorry.
- Get out this instant!
824
00:52:05,623 --> 00:52:07,258
- I never wanted to hurt him!
825
00:52:07,258 --> 00:52:09,227
I never would've
wanted to hurt Charlie!
826
00:52:09,227 --> 00:52:12,163
I loved that man like
I loved my own grandpa!
827
00:52:12,163 --> 00:52:13,932
- How could you love a
Rebel you've never even met?
828
00:52:13,932 --> 00:52:17,302
- Aura-Lee, my name
is Douglas Beam!
829
00:52:18,703 --> 00:52:22,140
I have always loved you, and
when my family moved north,
830
00:52:22,140 --> 00:52:24,442
I swore that I would
return for you one day!
831
00:52:27,778 --> 00:52:29,413
- No, no. (gasps)
832
00:52:29,413 --> 00:52:31,415
You are not the boy I loved.
833
00:52:32,683 --> 00:52:34,385
- I'm sorry I hurt Charlie.
834
00:52:35,620 --> 00:52:38,257
It was too late before we
recognized who we were.
835
00:52:38,257 --> 00:52:39,390
I never wanted to hurt Charlie.
836
00:52:39,390 --> 00:52:41,392
- No. Grandpa kept a diary.
837
00:52:41,392 --> 00:52:42,860
You went trifling
through his pockets
838
00:52:42,860 --> 00:52:44,262
and you learned
about Douglas' name,
839
00:52:44,262 --> 00:52:45,530
so you could come
here and trick me!
840
00:52:45,530 --> 00:52:46,632
- No.
- And then he was...
841
00:52:46,632 --> 00:52:48,500
He was delirious
and he was dying.
842
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:52,370
- No! I chased you when
you were six and I was 11!
843
00:52:52,370 --> 00:52:55,373
I chased you with frogs around
the pond. Do you remember?
844
00:52:56,307 --> 00:52:57,108
- No.
845
00:52:59,377 --> 00:53:00,112
- Yeah.
846
00:53:00,112 --> 00:53:01,680
Yes.
847
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,583
And then years later, we tied
bells around Charlie's mule,
848
00:53:06,752 --> 00:53:09,787
and we sang jingle bells
while he ran, and...
849
00:53:11,657 --> 00:53:15,560
You kept one, and
you gave one to me.
850
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,495
Yours is still tied
around your neck.
851
00:53:18,363 --> 00:53:19,998
(Aura-Lee gasps)
852
00:53:19,998 --> 00:53:22,000
- It can't be you.
853
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,203
- [Douglas] When you turned
12, I kissed you by the lake.
854
00:53:26,203 --> 00:53:27,572
It was your first kiss.
855
00:53:28,807 --> 00:53:29,873
- My only kiss.
856
00:53:37,615 --> 00:53:40,118
- I still love you, Aura-Lee.
857
00:53:41,987 --> 00:53:42,887
- No.
858
00:53:44,155 --> 00:53:46,858
I could never forgive
you for what you've done.
859
00:53:48,427 --> 00:53:51,228
(Aura-Lee sighs)
860
00:53:53,365 --> 00:53:56,835
(bleak orchestral music)
861
00:54:00,105 --> 00:54:03,975
- Charlie wrote one more
letter, before he passed.
862
00:54:08,847 --> 00:54:09,747
Please.
863
00:54:10,848 --> 00:54:11,750
Please.
864
00:54:12,517 --> 00:54:13,452
Just...
865
00:54:13,452 --> 00:54:14,418
Just read it.
866
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:16,755
(Douglas winces)
867
00:54:16,755 --> 00:54:18,557
And then, then I will go.
868
00:54:19,992 --> 00:54:22,793
(Douglas winces)
869
00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:29,000
(Douglas sniffles)
870
00:54:33,438 --> 00:54:36,708
(fire crackles)
871
00:54:36,708 --> 00:54:39,443
(paper rustles)
872
00:54:42,313 --> 00:54:45,883
(somber orchestral music)
873
00:54:52,257 --> 00:54:56,662
(somber orchestral
music continues)
874
00:55:00,198 --> 00:55:03,300
- [Charlie] My
dearest granddaughter.
875
00:55:06,603 --> 00:55:09,007
I'm leaving this letter with
876
00:55:11,275 --> 00:55:12,843
a good friend of ours,
877
00:55:13,845 --> 00:55:15,047
Douglas Beam.
878
00:55:18,583 --> 00:55:20,885
He has grown into a
strong, honorable man.
879
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:29,927
One of us had to die today,
so that one may live,
880
00:55:31,362 --> 00:55:34,732
and I'm glad how it turned out.
881
00:55:37,835 --> 00:55:39,203
I'm an old man.
882
00:55:40,338 --> 00:55:42,640
We all have our times that come.
883
00:55:45,210 --> 00:55:49,413
Well, Douglas has his
whole life in front of him.
884
00:55:52,317 --> 00:55:55,687
He has been very kind
to me in my final hours,
885
00:55:56,888 --> 00:55:58,957
and has always good boy.
886
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,597
I ask you do not hold
a grudge against him,
887
00:56:08,433 --> 00:56:09,900
because I do not.
888
00:56:13,772 --> 00:56:18,175
I wish for you to know that
I have always loved you.
889
00:56:20,112 --> 00:56:25,083
But you're grown now and you
don't need your old granddad.
890
00:56:26,450 --> 00:56:31,155
Douglas, he has professed
his love for you to me,
891
00:56:32,223 --> 00:56:33,290
and I believe him.
892
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,732
So, if your love for
him still exists,
893
00:56:40,732 --> 00:56:41,967
and his for you,
894
00:56:43,167 --> 00:56:45,337
then know that you
have my permission.
895
00:56:46,437 --> 00:56:47,338
My blessing.
896
00:56:50,608 --> 00:56:54,412
I will soon be going off
to join your grandmother.
897
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:01,285
So, please, think of this
as a happy Christmas for me.
898
00:57:04,722 --> 00:57:05,790
Love always.
899
00:57:10,195 --> 00:57:11,095

It really is you.

(Douglas chuckles)
910
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,903
Just do one more
thing for me, okay?
911
00:58:25,903 --> 00:58:26,803
And then I'll go.
912

913
00:58:30,375 --> 00:58:33,143
The inside pocket of
my jacket is sewn shut.

years. (chuckles)
