00:09:00I'll bet you General Morgan and his sorry band of rebels wish they'd never crossed the Ohio.
00:09:05Yeah!
00:09:06Lord knows those sorry bastards would love to get back.
00:09:09He got away with a few stragglers, but we rounded up most of them, thanks to Lieutenant Hatcher's men.
00:09:14Speaking of Hatcher, where is that devil?
00:09:16I'm not sure, sir.
00:09:17Eh, no matter.
00:09:19We have just one more thing to do.
00:09:21Get drunk as a skunk.
00:09:23Yeah, whiskey's as scarce as hen's teeth, sir.
00:09:26All right, all right, pipe down. I know you boys deserve it, but first things first.
00:09:30I say we have a victory photograph taken to send back to the President.
00:09:35Where's Benjamin?
00:09:37Mr. Harris?
00:09:39Mr. Harris?
00:09:41Yes, sir?
00:09:43Gather up your things and set up over by my tent.
00:09:47Private, go help the photographer.
00:09:50Yes, sir.
00:09:56Do you know how to walk, Private?
00:09:59Am I in your way?
00:10:02Salute!
00:10:06Hatcher, get over here, you old dog!
00:10:13Good Lord, man, isn't that contraption ready yet?
00:10:17Just now, sir.
00:10:18Let's get the show on the road, Ben.
00:10:20Make your boss, Mr. Brady, proud.
00:10:31All done.
00:10:32Thank you, sir.
00:10:38Men, tonight you'll be delighted to hear that we are sparing the usual inedible heart attack.
00:10:47Some of the lovely ladies from Pomeroy come bearing homemade venison stew.
00:10:52And that's all they're bringing, so keep your grubby paws off them.
00:10:57Also, there are two other armies camped nearby, so you're going to see a lot of strange faces.
00:11:02But just remember, old Morgan himself is known to stroll into town disguised as a man in blue.
00:11:07So keep your wits about you.
00:11:09Dismissed!
00:11:18Private, excuse me.
00:11:20People don't pay me much never mind around here, but I did want to do this properly.
00:11:26My name is Benjamin.
00:11:28Daniel.
00:11:29Nice to meet you.
00:11:30So Benjamin, when do we get to see this?
00:11:33I'm just getting ready to develop it now, gentlemen.
00:11:35Up to it, Ben. This war's almost over.
00:11:37Yes, sir.
00:11:45Ah!
00:12:01Damn.
00:12:07Lieutenant.
00:12:08Yes, sir.
00:12:10Come on.
00:12:22Don't worry, Drake.
00:12:24I found him.
00:12:26I'm just waiting for an opening.
00:12:28Then all I have to do is hop on a boat and sail right back to Kentucky.
00:12:33You'll be okay.
00:12:37I hope so.
00:13:37Damn if the captain wasn't right.
00:13:44Yeah, didn't you say they caught them rebs down there going through our supply tent?
00:13:48Yeah, some nerve of them.
00:13:49Well, they thought they could get away with it, getting all gussied up in blue.
00:13:53That didn't work at all.
00:13:54You know yourself.
00:13:55You can smell a reb anytime, anywhere.
00:13:57That smells like your grits.
00:13:59You want to smell something powerful, you wait until you smell them rebs hanging from the trees in the morning sun.
00:14:04Who caught them anyway?
00:14:06That was Lieutenant Hatcher.
00:14:07You know, that man's got a nose.
00:14:09He can smell them varmints every time, anyplace.
00:14:11Well, I'll be damned.
00:14:37Oh, say, could you please give me a hand with this?
00:14:40Sure, sure.
00:14:42Thank you.
00:14:43Let me get the plates out.
00:14:46Courier just brought me this.
00:14:49It says here,
00:14:50Courier just brought me this.
00:15:11Says here that some of the dispatches we've been finding on Morgan's spies contain false
00:15:17information meant to mislead us.
00:15:20But that does not discount the value of you capturing them, Lieutenant.
00:15:24A spy is a spy no matter what they're carrying.
00:15:27Well, thank you, sir.
00:15:33You're unusually quiet tonight, Lieutenant.
00:15:35You feeling yourself?
00:15:36I'm fine, Captain.
00:15:37I just have a lot on my mind.
00:15:44First I take a solution of pyrogallic acid and I wash the whole plate in it and swish
00:15:51it around and then after a few seconds the image appears.
00:15:57You know, I still don't understand how an image can be pulled out of thin air and put
00:16:01on a piece of glass.
00:16:02You know, I used to carry around a picture of my ma, but I lost it somewhere.
00:16:10Where are you from?
00:16:14Kentucky.
00:16:15I'm glad I'm from here.
00:16:17Well, originally, but I moved my dear wife and I to New York so that I could get into
00:16:23the picture-taking business and work for Matthew Brady.
00:16:26Is she there now?
00:16:28Well, her name is Rachel.
00:16:34She was the smartest, prettiest woman I ever knew.
00:16:38We were at the first battle of Bull Run.
00:16:41We went out there with all the other picnickers and everyone to see the spectacle from atop
00:16:46the hill.
00:16:47There was a band, children played, and all the politicians were there to toast the supposed
00:16:53first victory of the Union Army.
00:16:55Rachel insisted that we leave, but I couldn't.
00:16:59I was hired to photograph the whole affair.
00:17:03She seemed to sense the danger.
00:17:05I was desperate trying to earn enough money because I wanted to buy her a proper wedding
00:17:09ring.
00:17:10I wanted to replace that cheap piece of tin she wore around her finger.
00:17:13Well, it wasn't long until the merriment soon turned to horror.
00:17:17The Rebs charged right at us.
00:17:19The people began to stampede off into the woods.
00:17:22Pitnick baskets were smashed.
00:17:24Wine goblets were shattered.
00:17:26In the chaos, my dear wife hit her head on a rock.
00:17:31By the time I found her lying there in the ivy, she'd already breathed her last sweet
00:17:36breath.
00:17:40That's the last picture I ever took of her.
00:17:43It's all I've got to remember her by.
00:17:47I keep it with me always.
00:17:52Would you like to try putting some varnish on a plate?
00:17:56Sure.
00:18:01Oh, I must have left it in my other case.
00:18:03I'll be right back.
00:18:26Lieutenant Hatcher had that fellow moved!
00:18:56My brother Daniel's got it.
00:19:22Where is he?
00:19:23In camp someplace.
00:19:24Then why don't I have it?
00:19:25I'm sure he's got his reasons.
00:19:27Reasons?
00:19:29Tell me what he looks like.
00:19:32Short, blue eyes and reddish hair.
00:19:35Where the hell were you two in Kentucky?
00:19:38Your army moved.
00:19:39We couldn't help it.
00:19:41This whole thing's Morgan's fault.
00:19:43Conceited jackass.
00:19:44He's an exemplary soldier.
00:19:46Son of a bitch got the shit kicked out of him today.
00:19:48This is unacceptable that you gave the letter to your brother.
00:19:51I did what I had to do.
00:19:52The whole operation depended on this letter,
00:19:55and I can't depend on either one of you two.
00:19:58I had gotten shot.
00:20:00I gave it to my brother to take to you.
00:20:03Don't worry yourself, Nun.
00:20:04My brother can be trusted.
00:20:05He's dedicated this out just like I am.
00:20:07My life's on the line,
00:20:09and I don't appreciate complications.
00:20:11This whole thing better go smooth as a baby's ass,
00:20:14or we'll both be swinging by our necks.
00:20:16What are you in this for?
00:20:17Money.
00:20:18Why else?
00:20:19You're a true patriot, sir.
00:20:21Don't judge me, you snake.
00:20:24This whole war's a sham, and you know it.
00:20:26I'm taking care of myself.
00:20:33Good evening, Captain.
00:20:35Lieutenant, what the hell is going on here?
00:20:37I needed some quiet, so I left the party.
00:20:40Well, I heard it all.
00:20:42I'm sorry, sir.
00:20:43I'm giving you one chance, and one chance only,
00:20:46to explain what you just said in that tent there.
00:20:49Captain, I assure you,
00:20:52you need not worry about me.
00:20:55I know how it must have sounded,
00:20:57but I'm no traitor.
00:20:59Go on.
00:21:00Earlier, I discovered that soldier in there is a spy.
00:21:04Instead of tossing him in the prison compound,
00:21:06I decided to trick him into believing that I was on his side.
00:21:09He claims he has knowledge of a very important Confederate letter.
00:21:14That's quite a tale, Lieutenant.
00:21:16It's true, Captain.
00:21:18I'll never let you down.
00:21:20This is a very important matter.
00:21:23I can't afford to be ill-informed.
00:21:25Never keep me in the dark like this again.
00:21:28I'll take it from here.
00:21:30Captain, what do I get for my part?
00:21:34Your part?
00:21:36For bringing this to your attention.
00:21:38Good night's sleep, knowing you've served your country well.
00:21:41You and I both know my rank advancement is long overdue.
00:21:45You serve where you're needed, and I need you here.
00:21:49I've tolerated your bullheaded incompetence long enough, old man.
00:21:54If you won't promote me,
00:21:56I'll take matters into my own hands.
00:22:07Who's there?
00:22:08Don't worry, it's me, Daniel.
00:22:12Come here.
00:22:13Now you listen to me.
00:22:14I want that letter.
00:22:15So help me God, I'll gut you like I just gutted the Captain here.
00:22:19Hey, hey! What's going on?
00:22:24Ca-Captain!
00:22:26Help! Someone help!
00:22:45What happened?
00:22:46The Captain's been stabbed.
00:22:47What's going on here?
00:22:49The Captain's been murdered.
00:22:51Who found him first?
00:22:52Benjamin.
00:22:53Seize him!
00:22:54But sir, he doesn't even have a weapon.
00:22:56This is no time to question orders, Lieutenant,
00:22:58while our Captain lies drenched in his own blood.
00:23:02I'm assuming command,
00:23:04and I intend to use all my power to bring this murderer to justice.
00:23:08Take him away!
00:23:15I believe Mr. Harris is another gutless rebel spy
00:23:18trying to infiltrate our camp.
00:23:20My sources indicate he's not acting alone either.
00:23:23Therefore, I'm ordering a search for a small red-headed soldier.
00:23:27Bring him directly to me, and do not search him.
00:23:32Do it now.
00:23:34Yes, sir.
00:23:45Gentlemen, there's a spy in camp. Let's capture him.
00:23:48Private, check the first tent. Corporal, with me.
00:23:54Where?
00:23:55Where?
00:23:56Nothing. Let's move.
00:23:58I swear, sir, I am not a spy.
00:24:02I am not a spy.
00:24:04I am not a spy.
00:24:06I am not a spy.
00:24:08I am not a spy.
00:24:10I am not a spy.
00:24:12I swear, sir, I am not responsible for this awful crime.
00:24:17I could never do anything like that.
00:24:21Circumstances change a man, Benjamin.
00:24:24With the proper motivation, any one of us is capable of amazing acts.
00:24:29Even terrible ones.
00:24:31Sir, the murderer is still out there.
00:24:34What did he do that upset you so much?
00:24:37He didn't do anything.
00:24:39You killed him for no reason?
00:24:41I didn't kill him, sir. I tell you, I'm innocent.
00:24:44I tell you, I'm innocent.
00:24:46I tell you, I'm innocent.
00:24:48Shut up!
00:24:55Lovely.
00:24:57Your wife?
00:25:01Is she good in bed?
00:25:04She's dead.
00:25:06Well then, in the morning you'll both have something in common.
00:25:11Guard!
00:25:26Benjamin, it's Daniel.
00:25:28Daniel?
00:25:30What are you doing out there?
00:25:32I want to help you out. I know you're innocent.
00:25:35I saw the killer.
00:25:37Who is it?
00:25:38Lieutenant Hatcher.
00:25:40He knows I saw him, so he's gunning for me.
00:25:42I can't believe it.
00:25:44And no one's going to believe me either.
00:25:46So I've got to get you out of there so we can both make a run for it.
00:25:49Turn around.
00:25:55Hold on.
00:25:58Hey, fellas, it's Private Gibbons.
00:26:00Daniel, is that you?
00:26:01Yeah, you guys can break loose.
00:26:03Take over this shoddy Yankee handiwork.
00:26:05There's only two guards over there.
00:26:07All you have to do is push really hard.
00:26:09I know you Southern boys can do it.
00:26:11One, two, three!
00:26:19Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:26:33Oh.
00:26:37I was a dead man.
00:26:38You and me both.
00:26:40Thank you.
00:26:42Hey, uh, you got your wife's picture?
00:26:45Yeah, right here.
00:26:47Now, what are we going to do?
00:26:50I know a place, but I'm not quite sure how to get there.
00:26:54Do you know where it is?
00:26:55Nelsonville.
00:26:56I've been there. It's about a three-day journey from here.
00:26:59Look, I need to let you in on something,
00:27:01but you've got to promise to keep quiet about it.
00:27:03Daniel, you can trust me.
00:27:05I'm delivering a letter for the Union,
00:27:07and Lieutenant Hatcher wants it awful bad.
00:27:10Bad enough that he killed the captain for it.
00:27:12What is it?
00:27:13I don't know, and I couldn't say if I did,
00:27:15but if you help me get it to a farmhouse,
00:27:17the country should be grateful,
00:27:19and you'd get your good name cleared.
00:27:21Well, I'm with you, Daniel, and I'll tell you,
00:27:23I can't wait to see that Hatcher hang for what he's done.
00:27:29Let's go.
00:27:52Look at that.
00:27:54Huh. I wonder where that came from.
00:27:57What is it?
00:27:58It looks like a lady's bonnet.
00:28:02Where'd it come from?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:05My wife had one that looked like that, though.
00:28:08Huh.
00:28:14Oh, it sure feels nice.
00:28:16You know, yesterday Lieutenant Allen let the Rebs
00:28:20bathe in the same river with the Yanks,
00:28:22and I was sitting there watching them swim
00:28:25in the water there all mixed up together.
00:28:28You know, I got to thinking,
00:28:30you really couldn't tell one side from the other.
00:28:36You must be baking in that coat.
00:28:38Yeah, it's pretty hot.
00:28:45It sure is beautiful out here.
00:28:56Get up.
00:29:05Let's keep heading north.
00:29:07You best be certain.
00:29:09Look, if we keep a course, we'll be all right.
00:29:11That little bastard better be on that farm.
00:29:14I don't think so.
00:29:16I don't think so either.
00:29:18I don't think so either.
00:29:20I don't think so either.
00:29:22I don't think so either.
00:29:24You mind your mouth when you're talking about my brother.
00:29:27I don't give a shit about either one of you two.
00:30:24What the hell's he got ice skates for in the middle of summer?
00:30:35Must be a gift for her.
00:30:37And that hat we seen too.
00:30:40Must be one of Morgan's men.
00:30:41You know those boys will steal anything they can get their hands on.
00:30:46What's he got in there?
00:30:50Not much.
00:30:51Some powder.
00:30:52Some flint.
00:30:53Some jerky.
00:30:54Anything else?
00:30:55A compass.
00:30:56Hey, my brother used to have a compass just like this.
00:30:58At least we'll know off and down.
00:31:12He might have something good on him.
00:31:21I don't know anything about snakebites.
00:31:42Oh, I wish Drake were here.
00:31:43He'd know for sure.
00:31:44Hey, you there.
00:31:45You're on my property.
00:31:46Get on and off now.
00:31:50I'm sick of you bandits.
00:31:51Come on, get off.
00:31:52Don't you point that thing at me, boy.
00:31:54Sir, this man's been injured.
00:31:56You shouldn't be here.
00:31:57I can be anywhere I want.
00:31:59You colorblind?
00:32:00Damn little shit.
00:32:01Get on and off so I don't have to look at you no more.
00:32:04Come on, let's go.
00:32:05I ain't leaving Jessica as some damn negro says so.
00:32:11We don't have much choice.
00:32:15Come on, let's go.
00:32:16Come on.
00:32:17Daniel, come on.
00:32:19Let's get him over to my place.
00:32:20I got some herbs that'll help him out.
00:32:21I've been bit a few times out here myself,
00:32:22but none of these snakes is poisonous.
00:32:23Your boy's just been shot.
00:32:24My back ain't no good no more.
00:32:25You have to get him up yourself.
00:32:26Come on, Daniel.
00:32:27Easy does it.
00:32:28Come on.
00:32:29Easy does it.
00:32:30Come on, boy.
00:32:31Come on, boy.
00:32:32Easy.
00:32:33There you go.
00:32:34There you go.
00:32:35Come on.
00:32:36Least he can count himself lucky than that fella down there.
00:32:37Come on.
00:32:38Come on.
00:32:39Come on.
00:32:40Come on.
00:32:41Come on.
00:32:42Come on.
00:32:43Come on.
00:32:44Come on.
00:32:45Come on.
00:32:46Come on.
00:32:47Come on.
00:32:48Come on.
00:32:49Come on.
00:32:50So, what's this farmer's connection?
00:33:13Son's liberty.
00:33:14Old Camel's an avid supporter of Clement of Landingham.
00:33:17Last I heard, Oval Landingham was arrested and sent to rot in Tennessee.
00:33:21Not no more.
00:33:22He's up in Canada.
00:33:23He's got to run for governor of Ohio.
00:33:26Camel's up there with him right now.
00:33:28Still trying to stick it to old Lincoln.
00:33:30Why the hell not?
00:33:31Who's minding the farm?
00:33:34His daughter, Caroline.
00:33:35She's been my contact for a while now.
00:33:42Boy, you sure got a lot of fine furniture in there.
00:33:48Where did it all come from?
00:33:49It comes from right here.
00:33:51Well, you're mighty gifted.
00:33:53No, I'm just blessed.
00:33:55Name's Ethan.
00:33:56I'm Benjamin.
00:33:57The boy in there, he's Daniel.
00:33:58He your kin?
00:34:00Nah.
00:34:01I'm just helping him out.
00:34:03He saved my life.
00:34:05I see.
00:34:07I want to apologize to you for what he said back there.
00:34:10Don't say my sorry's for me.
00:34:12I ain't sorry at all.
00:34:14You shouldn't be here.
00:34:16My brother always said never trust a darky.
00:34:19Believe me, I don't want you here neither.
00:34:21I got me enough trouble with the horse thieves without you two being around.
00:34:24Well, I'm sorry.
00:34:25We can go.
00:34:26No, don't worry about it.
00:34:28But just scoot in the morning.
00:34:30We're going right now.
00:34:32Go lie down and quiet yourself.
00:34:38Tell me what to do.
00:34:40You're not from around here, are you?
00:34:44No, not originally.
00:34:45No, sir.
00:34:46Alabama.
00:34:47And you?
00:34:48Well, I grew up around Cincinnati.
00:34:50Then we moved to New York.
00:34:52My family was blacksmiths.
00:34:53But I, I don't know, I wanted to look for something different to do with my hands and
00:34:59looked around and wound up in the picture-taking business.
00:35:02Well, a body's got to be someplace, I suppose, and it's always the other place that looks
00:35:07better than the one you're in.
00:35:09That's why I moved up north.
00:35:11Ain't made much of a living at it, though.
00:35:14Tell you, if it didn't have my hands, I'd have nothing.
00:35:19Some folks still think of me as dirt.
00:35:21Hatred don't know no borders.
00:35:23It don't know no north or south.
00:35:27Want a bite of this squirrel?
00:35:37Don't feel much like eating.
00:35:38Too damn hot near this fire.
00:35:40There's cutting to be done before that leg goes gangrene.
00:35:44Wound's already spitting out pieces of bullet that threads from your britches.
00:35:48Time for us to finish the job.
00:35:51You ain't coming near me with that knife.
00:35:53Eh, go to hell, then, for all I care.
00:35:59Just so you remember, you stay alive long enough to get me that letter.
00:36:02Don't worry.
00:36:04I'm Kentucky Blood.
00:36:05We don't go to ground till the last drop of whiskey's left our lips.
00:36:09You'll get your money.
00:36:10Soon, you'll be in a hot bath in Louisville with a nickel whore licking you clean.
00:36:15Well, I best get what I deserve.
00:36:19There's not a god in heaven or in hell that you can hide behind.
00:36:24Boy, you sure know how to bring out the soul in a piece of wood.
00:36:34Keeps me occupied.
00:36:35Keeps me from remembering how bad things have worked out for me.
00:36:38Oh, they really put you through the works.
00:36:42I didn't have to worry about the chains or whip too much.
00:36:45My daddy was old man Feister.
00:36:48He lived on a plantation with my mother and her two sisters.
00:36:50Sort of an arrangement life.
00:36:53To some, there's not much difference between colors.
00:36:56But still, I was a slave boy.
00:36:59But I only had to tend the sheep.
00:37:00What you complaining about?
00:37:01Lord, it sounds like you were treated like a damned prince.
00:37:04A slave's a slave.
00:37:06Man's still a piece of property.
00:37:07That's what my daddy always used to preach.
00:37:10Your daddy sounds like a good man.
00:37:12He's a dead man.
00:37:13He was an abolitionist minister down in Kentucky.
00:37:17Stirred up a whole bunch of trouble.
00:37:19Got himself hanged.
00:37:20My mama killed two.
00:37:23Left me and my brothers as orphans.
00:37:26For that, I can never forgive him.
00:37:28That's why you hate us so much?
00:37:30When I was little, I used to side with my daddy all the time.
00:37:35But after all that happened, my brother Drake
00:37:37was all that I had left.
00:37:40He used to say that my daddy should not
00:37:42have made such a fuss.
00:37:43He said that my daddy should have
00:37:45minded his own damn business and left well enough alone.
00:37:49But Drake's real smart, too.
00:37:51Went to West Point and everything.
00:37:52Well, I know you've got a great deal of love for your brother,
00:37:55but you can't always be listening
00:37:57to what he has to say.
00:37:59What you talking about?
00:38:01You don't even know my brother, so why don't you just shut up?
00:38:05I don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:10I almost forgot.
00:38:11Remember when you told me you do pictures?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:15My daddy was keen on dogs.
00:38:16He even took pictures of them.
00:38:19Here's one in a Labrador in a Confederate uniform.
00:38:22Look at this.
00:38:23That's funny.
00:38:26You ever took pictures of dogs?
00:38:27I can't say that I have.
00:38:30Leave it to crack of dawn.
00:38:33Get some sleep.
00:39:19How'd y'all sleep last night?
00:39:21Oh, lots better than outside and those sticks.
00:39:24Well, I would have given you my bed,
00:39:26but my back can't hack that hardwood floor anymore.
00:39:30How's your hand, Daniel?
00:39:32It's fine.
00:39:33Good.
00:39:34Real good.
00:39:35Let me give you a hand with that.
00:39:38I gotta pee.
00:39:42I'll be right back.
00:39:50Hey, Ben.
00:39:52I don't mean to be nosy, but how well you know that kid?
00:39:55He's a good boy.
00:39:57Besides, he's doing the right thing for the North.
00:40:01Oh, yeah?
00:40:02What's that?
00:40:03Well, I'm sorry.
00:40:05I shouldn't say anything.
00:40:07Dammit.
00:40:08What's going on, Daniel?
00:40:09I saw two men out there on horses.
00:40:12They've got guns.
00:40:13It's them damn Bats.
00:40:15It's the second time they've tried me.
00:40:16Watch that window over there.
00:40:18They think they have a right to a Negro's everything.
00:40:48No, no.
00:41:03Hurry.
00:41:04Get the horse.
00:41:06Ethan, are you OK?
00:41:07Yeah, just go.
00:41:09Hurry up.
00:41:18Man, look what we've got here.
00:41:33You didn't teach us that at West Point, it makes my stomach turn.
00:41:43I learned the geometry of the cannon shot at Point.
00:41:46It was the war that taught me the calculations for getting the truth from a man.
00:41:53My brother must have taken the letter with him.
00:41:55Any money in there?
00:41:57Would you shut up about your damn money?
00:41:59Listen, Sonny.
00:42:01This army doesn't give a damn about the retirement of its command.
00:42:04It's every officer for himself.
00:42:06Look at you. Judas of the North.
00:42:08Selling yourself for a few pieces of gold.
00:42:10This war is about rights.
00:42:12This war is about power.
00:42:15You lose the Negroes, everything will go to hell down here.
00:42:19We ain't gonna lose. Not with that letter.
00:42:21Everything's gonna change. You'll see.
00:42:30Ben, stop!
00:42:32What? Why?
00:42:33We're going the wrong way. You have to turn around, Ben.
00:42:36Hurry!
00:42:42Ben!
00:42:48Drake!
00:43:05What happened to you? Who did this?
00:43:07I'm okay.
00:43:09Is Daniel here?
00:43:10No, I haven't seen him.
00:43:11He's got the letter.
00:43:13And you don't know where he is?
00:43:14I thought you did.
00:43:16Just let me think.
00:43:18Oh, you must be the Copperhead lieutenant.
00:43:20Captain.
00:43:22I'm no Copperhead, ma'am.
00:43:23In fact, it looks like I won't be seeing Copper anytime soon.
00:43:26What's going on here?
00:43:27He'll be here.
00:43:28This isn't what I agreed to.
00:43:29Me neither.
00:43:31We'll just have to sit tight.
00:43:33I don't want to sit tight!
00:43:35You made the arrangements with your friend.
00:43:37So blame him.
00:43:39He'll be dealt with.
00:43:41Soon enough.
00:43:48Who's the little girl?
00:43:51We better get you up inside the barn.
00:43:53Don't want anybody seeing you out here. Come on.
00:44:06I'm guessing about a few more hours.
00:44:08You really think Hatcher will be in the same place?
00:44:11I ain't sure.
00:44:13But I wouldn't be surprised.
00:44:16Could have tricked my brother into helping him.
00:44:18I thought your brother was such a clever fellow.
00:44:21He is.
00:44:23It's just that I've seen Hatcher in action.
00:44:27Telling sweet lies like maple syrup.
00:44:29What's your brother got to do with this, Daniel?
00:44:33Look, it don't matter.
00:44:35We just got to be prepared.
00:44:41You know, I never even touched a gun until today.
00:44:46Never had a reason to.
00:44:50You did good.
00:45:06Where's my coffee?
00:45:08In a moment, sir.
00:45:10You miserable bumpkins.
00:45:13You really box this one up good.
00:45:15I beg your pardon?
00:45:17For two years I've been running messages with my friend without a single hitch.
00:45:20Then you people get involved. Bang!
00:45:22The whole thing goes to hell.
00:45:24I'm sure that they're doing the best that they can.
00:45:27That's the problem.
00:45:29This is the best they're capable of.
00:45:32I got the horse hid.
00:45:34Good.
00:45:36So you think this is the place?
00:45:38Yep.
00:45:39Drink always used to talk about the big elm tree in front of the barn.
00:45:43Now, they don't know I've got company.
00:45:46I've got to be careful.
00:45:48I've got to be careful.
00:45:50I've got to be careful.
00:45:52I've got to be careful.
00:45:54I've got to be careful.
00:45:56I've got to be careful.
00:45:59Now, they don't know I've got company, so you better stay here.
00:46:03Okay.
00:46:04Hey, you think Hatcher might be in there?
00:46:08I don't see his horse, but I'll go in to make sure.
00:46:12Be careful.
00:46:23Honey, I'm so sorry.
00:46:25Don't be.
00:46:28At least I'm here with you and my family.
00:46:34I love you, Daddy.
00:46:58I love you, Daddy.
00:47:00I love you, Daddy.
00:47:27You Campbell?
00:47:29Yeah, I'm Caroline.
00:47:32Daniel?
00:47:38I'm so glad you're here.
00:47:40Drake's hurt bad. He's held up in a Yankee camp.
00:47:42No, he's not. He's right upstairs.
00:47:45He is?
00:47:46No, wait!
00:47:47Drake!
00:47:48Wait, Daniel!
00:47:49Drake!
00:47:52Brother!
00:47:54You made it!
00:47:55Yeah, I did. But how'd you get here?
00:47:58Me.
00:48:09Get in there!
00:48:11Hand it over!
00:48:14I ain't giving you nothing.
00:48:16Daniel, just give him the letter so that we can be rid of him.
00:48:19You don't understand.
00:48:21You better listen to her.
00:48:22No!
00:48:23Daniel!
00:48:24Shut up!
00:48:25Give me the letter or you're dead.
00:48:28Just like the Captain, huh?
00:48:30What are you talking about?
00:48:32I saw him trying to turn the letter over to North just to get promoted.
00:48:35And then the Captain refused and killed him.
00:48:38He doesn't give a shit about the South. Just himself.
00:48:42Are you finished yet?
00:48:44My friend's expecting his letter.
00:48:46Damn you! And damn your friend!
00:48:48I'll make it simple for you.
00:48:50Give me the letter or your brother dies.
00:48:55Daniel, if he wants the money that badly, he'll deliver it, friend or not.
00:48:59We ain't got any choice in the matter now.
00:49:10Good boy.
00:49:21No!
00:49:39Get the horse! Hurry!
00:49:41I can't. She's gone, Daniel.
00:49:45How could you do that?
00:49:47You had one simple job to do. One job.
00:49:49And you couldn't do that. And now he's dead.
00:49:52Who? Who's dead?
00:49:54My brother, Drake.
00:49:56He's dead.
00:50:14He's dead.
00:50:36Annabelle's asleep now.
00:50:41I hope she don't have any nightmares.
00:50:45Daniel.
00:50:47We're your family now.
00:50:52Drake was Annabelle's daddy.
00:50:55He didn't know until today.
00:50:57It's been some years since I've seen him.
00:51:03I knew that there was going to be a war.
00:51:06And I knew that he was going to be such good use to the South.
00:51:10He wouldn't have wanted to go if he would have known.
00:51:14Ann, did you say the South?
00:51:19Yes, sir.
00:51:23Daniel, what is all this?
00:51:26What have you gotten me into?
00:51:30That letter...
00:51:32That letter wasn't for the North.
00:51:34It was for the South.
00:51:36That letter...
00:51:38That letter wasn't for the North.
00:51:41You lied to me.
00:51:43I had to.
00:51:44You've been using me all along.
00:51:46I did what I had to.
00:51:48Had to? I trusted you.
00:51:51You would have been dead if it wasn't for me.
00:51:53Did you forget that?
00:51:54At least I would have died with some dignity.
00:51:57Now look at me. I'm being charged as a traitor.
00:52:01And I find I've been aiding and abetting the enemy all along.
00:52:05So that's what you think?
00:52:07We're enemies?
00:52:08Yes! Aren't we?
00:52:13Do you know what it's like to have Lincoln, the great emancipator,
00:52:17tell you your way of life is wrong?
00:52:20We need slaves to run our plantations and our slaves need us.
00:52:24Is that how you really feel or is that your brother still talking?
00:52:28My brother is dead.
00:52:31You remember that negro, Ethan.
00:52:35He saved your life.
00:52:37He didn't need you. You needed him.
00:52:39That ain't the point.
00:52:41I promised my brother that I would...
00:52:43You fulfilled that promise.
00:52:45It's time for you to grow up and be your own man.
00:52:47I am!
00:52:52Daniel, it's not about your brother and secret messages and politics anymore.
00:53:02Right now.
00:53:06All I know is that Hatcher is a son of a bitch.
00:53:10And I'm going to kill him.
00:53:14I want my face to be the last he ever sees.
00:53:25You say your company is chasing Morgan's men.
00:53:28Well, General and his boys just rode through here this morning.
00:53:32And we just missed them.
00:53:36I got separated from the others when I was scouting for a way to cut them off.
00:53:41According to our reports, they got impinged.
00:53:43Well, we've got you a cot.
00:53:45There's a little deer meat and some beans if you need it.
00:53:48Thanks, Major.
00:53:50But I'll be staying at the hotel.
00:53:52Very well, Sergeant.
00:54:06I've never admired another soul on this earth as much as I did my brother Drake.
00:54:12When we was boys, we used to run around in my mama's garden and pelt each other with crab apples.
00:54:17And this one time, he walled me real good and clean knocked me out.
00:54:22But he still carried me home, even though he knew he'd get a whooping from our daddy.
00:54:28I wish that was the only worrying we ever had.
00:54:32I'll come back. I promise.
00:54:35I guess I'm your family now.
00:54:37Thank you.
00:54:43Need a hand?
00:54:47No, I'm good.
00:54:49I'm just a little tired.
00:54:51I'm going to bed.
00:54:53Good night.
00:54:55Good night.
00:55:01Good night.
00:55:31Good night.
00:55:38Now, we need to take it easy.
00:55:40He could be anywhere if he hasn't left yet.
00:55:42The sooner we find that barber Caroline mentioned, the better.
00:55:45Yates, right?
00:55:47I believe that's what she said.
00:55:57Looks like you've seen some action.
00:55:59More like a distraction.
00:56:01You mind telling me about it?
00:56:03I trusted the wrong people.
00:56:10Can I help you, fellas?
00:56:12Joseph Yates.
00:56:13That's me.
00:56:14Caroline sent us.
00:56:16Oh, really?
00:56:18And who is the dear?
00:56:20She said you could help us.
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:23I'm Drake's brother.
00:56:25Oh, sure. What you need?
00:56:28Revenge.
00:56:31That friend I'm going to visit.
00:56:33I've known him for a few years.
00:56:36I met him at the hanging of that abolitionist rabble-rouser.
00:56:39John Brown.
00:56:41My friend joined the army just to see him die.
00:56:44That's pretty morbid.
00:56:47He's a strange duck, all right.
00:56:50But then, most of those theater types are.
00:56:53What's his name?
00:56:56It's none of your concern.
00:56:59Where's your post office?
00:57:03Well, I removed a slug from a Yankee fella just last night.
00:57:06A big man.
00:57:08Hatcher?
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:10Where's he now?
00:57:11A hotel, I reckon.
00:57:12He didn't like the sound of an army cod.
00:57:14Do you think he's left yet?
00:57:16I don't think so, or I haven't seen him.
00:57:17I've been looking out my window all morning.
00:57:19Son of a bitch.
00:57:21Now, hold on just a minute.
00:57:22We can't go running out there without some sort of plan.
00:57:29Good morning, sir.
00:57:31My name's Captain Derek Hatcher, and I'm staying at the inn.
00:57:34If I receive any messages, contact me immediately.
00:57:37Yes, sir.
00:57:39Will this do you?
00:57:42Perfect.
00:57:45What's wrong?
00:57:47Well, I'm just sorry it had to all come to this.
00:57:50I'm coming back out.
00:57:56Marion Holstead.
00:57:58She likes to get friendly with the soldiers.
00:58:02Yankee whore.
00:58:05Damn, they're going off together.
00:58:08I'd say that's to your advantage.
00:58:10How do you figure?
00:58:11They're heading for the hotel.
00:58:13This will be your chance to catch him with his pants down.
00:58:18Perfect.
00:58:22You remind me of a girl I once knew in Virginia.
00:58:25Really? Just as pretty?
00:58:27Every bit.
00:58:28Told Johnny Skelter.
00:58:38Wish I had my knife.
00:58:39I'd sink it into his fat throat.
00:58:41You need to keep your head.
00:58:43If you get that letter, give it to me first.
00:58:45That's not why I'm helping you.
00:58:46Well, then, in case he gets away.
00:58:50Quite a sight that was.
00:58:52Nothing but a red tangle of hair and flesh.
00:58:55Ew. He cut off all the hair on her head?
00:58:58He had a whole bag full of scalps.
00:59:00We sold them together.
00:59:02Called it his sack of Yankee hair.
00:59:04That's repulsive.
00:59:06Made him into fine wigs and sold him throughout the Union.
00:59:09Nobody ever knew the difference.
00:59:12I'm not going to swing from a tree for this.
00:59:14You won't.
00:59:15Can't we at least wait? It's broad daylight.
00:59:17There's no time.
00:59:46Hmm.
00:59:56What's wrong?
01:00:04Easy now, boys.
01:00:05Let go of me!
01:00:06Shut up!
01:00:07Oh, God!
01:00:12Get the letter.
01:00:16Got it.
01:00:17Now go downstairs.
01:00:19Make sure no one's coming.
01:00:23Oh, wait a second.
01:00:25You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, would you?
01:00:29Gun!
01:00:30Gun!
01:00:31Gun!
01:00:33Gun!
01:00:52Take them away.
01:01:03I just got a bunch of red apples from my mom.
01:01:06Sure is nice of her to go to all the trouble.
01:01:08Thomas, it ain't like we're on the front lines or nothing.
01:01:11Your mama only lives five miles away.
01:01:13Bet you boys are just starving.
01:01:15Not for them red apples.
01:01:17Hey, you got a problem with his mama's produce?
01:01:19Look, why don't you boys just carry on?
01:01:21Bet he thinks your mama's apples are just chocolate.
01:01:23I don't think so.
01:01:24I don't think so.
01:01:25I don't think so.
01:01:26I don't think so.
01:01:27I don't think so.
01:01:28I don't think so.
01:01:29I don't think so.
01:01:30I don't think so.
01:01:31I think your mama's apples are just chock full of worms.
01:01:33You call my mama's apples rotten?
01:01:35He didn't say that.
01:01:37I wouldn't eat none of your shitty Yankee apples if my life depended on it.
01:01:41Since you don't like apples, maybe you'd like a taste of some Yankee leather.
01:01:45Captain Hatcher says you're too murderin' Johnny's paws.
01:01:48How about a little rope?
01:01:50Get him up there.
01:01:51Get him up there.
01:01:52Get him up there.
01:01:53Get him up there.
01:01:54Get him up there.
01:01:55Get him up there.
01:01:57They're killing us in here!
01:01:58Damn it, shut up!
01:01:59Ain't nobody got self-reliance.
01:02:00Hey, help us out of here, they're killing us!
01:02:02Everybody shut up!
01:02:03I'll hold your tongue!
01:02:11You pathetic apes.
01:02:14Get him down from there.
01:02:17Now!
01:02:23Leave him here.
01:02:28Get out of here.
01:02:31Now!
01:02:34Sit down.
01:02:37Or I'll make you.
01:02:45Where is it?
01:02:47I don't know what you're talking about.
01:02:50Where is it?
01:02:52I don't have it.
01:02:53Bullshit!
01:02:54You searched us yourself!
01:02:55Yeah, you probably hid it somewhere.
01:02:57I ain't even seen it!
01:02:58I'm the only man that can save your life, Benjamin.
01:03:06Where's your brother when I need him?
01:03:08I'll kill you, you piece of shit, you hear me?
01:03:11I'll kill you!
01:03:15Is it really worth losing your life over this?
01:03:18You don't owe that kid a thing.
01:03:20I don't owe you nothing either.
01:03:24I'm not going to ask you again.
01:03:28Go to hell.
01:03:32You're going to be in slow pain before you leave this world, boy.
01:03:37Hey, leave him alone.
01:03:38He don't know nothing.
01:03:40Matter of fact.
01:03:41I have it.
01:03:46Where is it?
01:03:47It's in my inside best pocket.
01:03:49It's in my inside best pocket.
01:03:56Hell, that's nothing but a picture.
01:03:58On the other side, underneath.
01:04:06Sir?
01:04:07What is it?
01:04:08Major Pierce would like to see you right away.
01:04:11Fine.
01:04:12Lock him up.
01:04:20What were you doing with my prisoners?
01:04:22With all due respect, those are my prisoners.
01:04:25This is my jurisdiction.
01:04:27You have no right to order my soldiers around.
01:04:29Do you understand me?
01:04:31The situation is under control.
01:04:33Is it?
01:04:36Well, then maybe you can explain why this telegram was addressed to you.
01:04:40We're in a state of war.
01:04:42We're in a state of war.
01:04:44Well, then maybe you can explain why this telegram was addressed to you.
01:04:48We're in a state of war.
01:04:49So I have all telegrams relayed to me.
01:04:52Just as a precaution.
01:04:54That telegram is my business.
01:04:56Well, now it's my business.
01:04:57This is a secret code written by General Morgan.
01:05:00So explain to me why the General is sending you love letters.
01:05:15Why didn't you give it to me?
01:05:17I knew he would find it.
01:05:19You should have told me at least.
01:05:21I didn't want you to have it.
01:05:23What?
01:05:24I was going to destroy it.
01:05:26After all this?
01:05:27Look, we both want Hatcher dead.
01:05:30But I wasn't going to let that letter get through.
01:05:33I've got to protect my country's interests.
01:05:35Then why didn't you give it to him?
01:05:39Because I don't want him to find it.
01:05:43Because he's going to kill you.
01:05:46So you'll sell out your country to save an enemy spy?
01:05:50I couldn't let him do that to you.
01:05:52Well, now he's still alive and he's got the letter.
01:05:54He wins all the way around.
01:05:56Your message got through and that's what your brother would have wanted.
01:05:59He'd want me to do it.
01:06:01What does it matter to the South?
01:06:02It don't.
01:06:04But it matters to me.
01:06:06Well, we've got bigger problems right now.
01:06:09We're both going to hang in the morning.
01:06:12I suppose it doesn't matter quite so much to me anymore.
01:06:15But you...
01:06:17You've got a woman and that little girl to take care of.
01:06:22I know.
01:06:25What is this?
01:06:26Stop that.
01:06:27I said what is this?
01:06:28I said stop that.
01:06:29Excuse me.
01:06:30Give me that, you little...
01:06:36You're finished.
01:06:41You're finished.
01:06:59You're a disgrace to the uniform.
01:07:02Sir, the traitor's escaped.
01:07:04Hold him here.
01:07:07Go, go, go.
01:07:14Turn around.
01:07:32Turn around.
01:07:36Turn around.
01:07:53Take it. Go, go. I'm okay.
01:08:07Get down, get down.
01:08:09It's Hatcher.
01:08:10Where's he going?
01:08:12I don't know, but we have to follow him.
01:08:36Damn it.
01:08:37Come on, let's go.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:11I've got to rest, Daniel. I'm tired.
01:09:13But we're so close.
01:09:17Okay.
01:09:24To be or not to be, that is the question.
01:09:28Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of our time
01:09:32Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
01:09:39But alas, poor Hatcher.
01:09:41I knew you well.
01:09:43But what is this?
01:09:44Your countenance is one of discontent.
01:09:48Evening, Booth.
01:09:54No!
01:09:55Where is he?
01:09:57There's a playhouse over there.
01:10:00Ah, Lieutenant Hatcher. It's been too long, old friend.
01:10:03It's Captain Hatcher, Booth.
01:10:05I've climbed up in the world.
01:10:07We haven't spoken since 61. Is that not right?
01:10:10Back when I helped you smuggle quinine in horse collars.
01:10:13We've come a long way since then, old friend.
01:10:15We've gone from trying to save the lives of men
01:10:18to saving the life of the South itself.
01:10:22Join me in a glass of whiskey.
01:10:24I'm not in a drinking mood.
01:10:26What kind of mood are you in?
01:10:28A negotiating mood.
01:10:41I've got a piece of fool's cap that's worth a thousand dollars.
01:10:48Ah, there's the man I used to know.
01:10:51Nothing changes. Always to the point.
01:10:54However, it was $500 we agreed on.
01:10:58There were unforeseen circumstances.
01:11:00Unexpected costs.
01:11:02Much blood was spilled.
01:11:05Some of which was my own.
01:11:07But we had a contract, sir.
01:11:09After all, it's for the cause.
01:11:12The liberation of the South from that tyrant, Lincoln.
01:11:15I don't give a damn about the North or the South, Booth.
01:11:19To me, those words are as useless as a busted tin compass.
01:11:23Are you not a patriot?
01:11:25Patriotism?
01:11:26Is that going to put food on your table when you're old and feeble?
01:11:30Dining on weeds?
01:11:32Spitting out your last split tooth?
01:11:34I've risked a magnificent career in the theater
01:11:37to devote myself to our plans.
01:11:39And I've risked my neck.
01:11:41So give me my money so I may go.
01:11:44Very well, friend.
01:11:47But a letter of credit will have to do.
01:11:50Your letters of credit, your politics, they don't mean a thing to me.
01:11:54I don't have $1,000 with me.
01:11:56I can give you $500 now, and the rest will be sent to you.
01:11:59You have my word.
01:12:01Well, then, I'm sure the North will be happy to see what I have
01:12:05and find out who it was intended for.
01:12:08One of us will be wearing the hangman's cap to the gallows because of this.
01:12:12Those gallows won't be a prop on a theater stage.
01:12:16I implore you, sir, to reconsider your position.
01:12:19Do I have to speak in iambic pentameter so you can understand?
01:12:23You are a cur, sir.
01:12:26So you would see the darky overrun our country.
01:12:30You would see Lincoln ruling as Caesar.
01:12:33He guarantees he doth bestride the world as Colossus.
01:12:38Look at my hand.
01:12:40When I was young, a gypsy woman read my palms.
01:12:44She said I was destined for greatness,
01:12:47that I would turn the tides of the world.
01:12:50She also said that I was doomed for an early death.
01:12:54But so be it.
01:12:57If I must, I shall play Brutus.
01:13:01What do you think's going to happen when this war is over?
01:13:05Do you think the South is going to applaud you,
01:13:08throw posies at your feet, watch you take a thousand bows?
01:13:12I had to kill a kid's brother for this piece of paper.
01:13:16By God, I'm going to make it worth the blood on my hands.
01:13:20So, you killed the messenger as planned?
01:13:24Yes.
01:13:26Good.
01:13:28We needed a martyr for the Copperheads to rally around.
01:13:32It's unfortunate that Drake had to die for the cause,
01:13:35but he shall be remembered as a loyal patriot always.
01:13:39The South shall be victorious.
01:13:42He was no greater loss than losing the village idiot to a cliff.
01:13:46Catch him!
01:13:52Drop the gun, giant, or die!
01:13:58Now come up here!
01:14:06Who are you?
01:14:09I'm the brother of a dead patriot.
01:14:13You fool! You were followed!
01:14:16I thought he was dead.
01:14:18Hatcher, you are useless! Give me the letter now!
01:14:22Now!
01:14:30Can I at least have the 500 we agreed on?
01:14:33Not so greedy now, are we?
01:14:36All right.
01:14:39If it'll get you out of my sight.
01:14:48Wait! I want to make sure I got what I paid for.
01:14:55What is this?
01:14:57This is nothing but a maudlin love letter.
01:15:00It's supposed to be a passage from Henry V
01:15:03with the time and dates of the southern gun shipment to Indianapolis.
01:15:07I can't rally copperheads with this!
01:15:10It was the letter I was given.
01:15:12My dearest Benjamin, I long to feel your touch, to see your eyes.
01:15:16To hear the sound of her voice.
01:15:19Who in God's name are you?
01:15:21I'm the one that's going to destroy your precious letter.
01:15:25Give it to me, if I swear to you.
01:15:32Don't move!
01:15:34It's too late.
01:15:36I hope you enjoy hell.
01:16:06No!
01:16:36No!
01:17:07No!
01:17:19Benjamin!
01:17:23Hatcher?
01:17:25Is he dead?
01:17:27Yeah.
01:17:30Good.
01:17:37I will see you soon, my sweet angel.
01:17:41Love to thee, Benjamin.
01:17:47So where's the real letter?
01:17:59He destroyed it himself.
01:18:03Daniel, you've got a chance for a new beginning.
01:18:08Take it.
01:18:11Take it with all your heart.
01:18:32I love you.
01:19:02I love you.
01:19:32I love you.
