00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30Mr. Jonathan Light
00:01:48Good day to you, Mr. Light
00:01:57Good day, Latham
00:01:58I have a commission for you, Latham
00:02:04Yes, sir, your servant, sir
00:02:05The teapot to this set was ruined by a careless maid
00:02:08I value the piece and wish to replace it
00:02:11But I must have it by Monday next
00:02:13Monday, sir?
00:02:14It's a mighty short time for such a fine piece
00:02:17Looks like one of Revere's best
00:02:19Why not take it to him, sir?
00:02:20Revere?
00:02:21Look at the mark
00:02:22You made that set yourself more than 30 years ago
00:02:24So I did
00:02:27So I did
00:02:29All but Monday, sir
00:02:31I don't know
00:02:33It's a long time since I've done anything like this
00:02:35Very well then
00:02:36I shall have to take it to Revere
00:02:37Well, we can do it, Mr. Light
00:02:39My master's too modest
00:02:40You do not seem overburdened in that direction
00:02:43Who are you?
00:02:45Johnny Tremaine, sir
00:02:46My apprentice
00:02:47Well, since you allow him to speak for you
00:02:49On Monday morning, then
00:02:51Early
00:02:52Yes, sir
00:02:53A fine commission
00:02:58And you'd have let it go out the door
00:03:00Beautiful, isn't it?
00:03:01And I made it
00:03:02I think I can do most of it, sir
00:03:04A fine piece like this
00:03:06And you not half through your term
00:03:09Takes a tall man to cast a great shadow, boy
00:03:12Put it away
00:03:14But I'm sure I can do it
00:03:18Heed holy writ
00:03:19Proverbs 16
00:03:21Pride goeth before destruction
00:03:22And a haughty spirit before a fall
00:03:24I think I can do anything, sir
00:03:33Just about anything
00:03:35If I get the chance
00:03:36Well, Grandpa's right about one thing
00:03:38When the meek inherit the earth
00:03:39I doubt you'll get so much
00:03:41As one square foot of sod
00:03:42Johnny Tremaine
00:03:54Oh, it's no use
00:04:15It looked all right when it was cast
00:04:17But now
00:04:17You think I don't know what's wrong?
00:04:21God's will is plain
00:04:22Mr. Light will have to find another smith
00:04:25I'll go to Mr. Revere in the morning
00:04:28He's helped me before
00:04:29And he'll know what's wrong
00:04:30You've let commissions go by before
00:04:32When Grandpa didn't feel up to them
00:04:34Why are you so anxious about this one, Johnny?
00:04:37Mr. Light's our landlord
00:04:38And that reason enough
00:04:39What's this?
00:04:43Oh, just a mark to sign my silver with
00:04:46When I'm my own master
00:04:47Using Mr. Light's family crest?
00:04:52J for Johnny
00:04:56T for Tremaine
00:04:57What's the L for?
00:05:03It's a secret
00:05:04I've never told anyone
00:05:05You can tell me
00:05:11Promise on your hope of heaven
00:05:14You wouldn't ever tell anyone else?
00:05:16On my hope of heaven
00:05:17Well
00:05:18My mother told me
00:05:20My real name is
00:05:21Jonathan Light Tremaine
00:05:22Jonathan Light Tremaine
00:05:25You?
00:05:27A relative of Mr. Light?
00:05:29What are you to him?
00:05:31I don't know
00:05:32Mother wouldn't tell me
00:05:34Why was she afraid?
00:05:37Or ashamed?
00:05:39Pride, I think
00:05:40She was the proudest woman in the world
00:05:43But apprenticing you to Grandpa
00:05:46And the light's almost as rich
00:05:49As John Hancock himself
00:05:50She wanted me to learn my trade
00:05:52Make my own way
00:05:53Are you crazy?
00:05:56A chance at a big house
00:05:57Servants
00:05:58Coaches
00:05:59And your own ship
00:06:01Sailing the seven seas?
00:06:02I'd rather be my own master
00:06:04And stand on my own feet
00:06:05Johnny, this isn't another one
00:06:07Of your tricks, is it?
00:06:09Maybe you'll believe this
00:06:10This was my mother's christening cup
00:06:25If I ever have to go to Mr. Light
00:06:28I'm to show him this
00:06:29But she made me promise
00:06:31I wouldn't go to him
00:06:32Unless God himself had forsaken me
00:06:34And I never will
00:06:36I'm looking for Mr. Revere
00:07:01His shop's down the street
00:07:03Yes, I know
00:07:04His wife told me
00:07:04I can't find him here
00:07:05He's busy
00:07:06Very well, I'll wait
00:07:08If you want to
00:07:09Countryman, ships laden with English tea
00:07:16Are now bound for this port
00:07:17Shunned in a tested beverage
00:07:20And let none be landed on these shores
00:07:22What's this?
00:07:23The most important piece of news in Boston
00:07:25Tea?
00:07:26But I like tea
00:07:27Almost everyone does
00:07:28English ministry has already collected a tax on this tea
00:07:32And added it to the price
00:07:34Now if we let that stuff in
00:07:36Every time we buy a pound of it
00:07:38We'll be paying a tax we haven't voted
00:07:39That's why we're pinning these
00:07:42To warn everyone of the real truth
00:07:44Well, who is we?
00:07:46Sons of Liberty
00:07:47But who are you?
00:07:49Everyone in Boston
00:07:50Who believes their liberties are worth fighting for
00:07:52You can keep your politics
00:07:54I'll stick to my trade
00:07:55And mind my own business
00:07:56Brad, you finished yet?
00:08:00Yes, Uncle Nat
00:08:01If they suit Mr. Adams
00:08:02I'll look at them
00:08:03Well, Donnie, what are you doing here?
00:08:05I want to see you, Mr. Viram
00:08:06Oh, in a moment, huh?
00:08:08Yes, sir
00:08:08Excellent, Brad
00:08:10Thank you, Mr. Adams
00:08:11Get them out to your Liberty boys
00:08:13The sooner they're spread through the town, the better
00:08:15I'll nail one to the governor's door myself
00:08:17Sometimes I wonder why we trouble ourselves
00:08:21Liberty is for the young
00:08:23They have the spirit for it, that's certain
00:08:25This lad seems to have business with you, Paul
00:08:27We'll go on
00:08:28Good day, gentlemen
00:08:29Dr. Warren, Mr. Adams
00:08:33Seems as though everybody in Boston's interested in tea
00:08:36Not tea, Johnny
00:08:37The principal behind it
00:08:39Well, what is it this time?
00:08:41Well, sir
00:08:41We've been commissioned to replace the teapot on a silver set
00:08:43I copied this handle from the creamer and enlarged it
00:08:46But it always comes out wrong
00:08:47This is properly the work for a master, not an apprentice
00:08:52Mr. Latimer feels he's too old for such work
00:08:55We need the trade badly, sir
00:08:56The fault here is not craftsmanship, Johnny
00:09:00I've seldom seen better
00:09:01No
00:09:03It's in your design
00:09:05Enlargement isn't enough
00:09:07Proportion has to be taken into account, too
00:09:09Now
00:09:10If we make our curves
00:09:14Deeper
00:09:16Like this
00:09:18You see?
00:09:20Enough of work, lad
00:09:29Don't you hear the bell ringing for vespers?
00:09:31But I've almost finished this pattern
00:09:32In another hour
00:09:33There are things much more important than a rich man's silver
00:09:36The boy is only trying to do what you can't do yourself
00:09:40God granted him a great gift
00:09:41But he must learn gratitude
00:09:43And humbleness
00:09:45But Grandpa, only an hour?
00:09:48It's time that God in his word came first in this house
00:09:51We will begin our Sabbath tonight as becomes humble people
00:09:56Begin with the 19th verse
00:09:58And I will break the pride of your power
00:10:05And I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass
00:10:08And your strength shall be spent in vain
00:10:11For your land shall not yield or increase
00:10:14Neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits
00:10:16And your hands shall be spent in vain
00:10:46We've got the deacon's meeting last extra long, so he won't miss us from our pews.
00:10:50We could get put in jail for breaking the Sabbath.
00:10:52If we get caught, fetch a pane of water so we can bounce the fire if anyone comes.
00:10:56Then keep watch down the street.
00:10:58Hurry up, Johnny.
00:10:59Yes, Mrs. Lye.
00:11:16The constable's coming.
00:11:25Put it away quickly.
00:11:26Oh, that was the fire.
00:11:34Johnny!
00:11:40Oh, Johnny.
00:11:46Hey, it's you again.
00:11:58Where you been?
00:11:59Around.
00:12:00What happened to your hand?
00:12:01I burned it.
00:12:03What's the gun for?
00:12:04The tea I told you about?
00:12:06It's in that ship.
00:12:07And we're here to stop them from landing it.
00:12:09Oh, tea again.
00:12:11Good morning, sir.
00:12:12Fine, large day, isn't it?
00:12:13That it is, lad.
00:12:16Well, if you're going to carry one of these things, learn to carry it right.
00:12:23Yes, sir.
00:12:27Who's that?
00:12:28Admiral Montague of His Majesty's Navy.
00:12:30He's taking quarters for himself over there.
00:12:32But he can't land the two company's Marines he's got in his flagship.
00:12:35What do you mean he can't land them?
00:12:37You wouldn't be hanging around this tea ship very long if he did.
00:12:39That's just it.
00:12:40Governor Hutchinson won't let him.
00:12:42Half of Boston would turn out in a minute if those Marines were landed against us.
00:12:45Why don't you get your master to give you some time off, so that you can take a turn with us.
00:12:49My master's a silversmith, not a troublemaker.
00:12:52You could have rode to Charleston for that charcoal time you've been gone.
00:13:08There were others ahead of me, and I had to wait my turn.
00:13:11Since when has Johnny's remain taken to waiting for other apprentices when there's work to be done in the shop?
00:13:15What's got into you, Johnny?
00:13:17Let the boy be.
00:13:18Everything in good time.
00:13:20Time. He's been moping about for weeks.
00:13:23But, my, his hand.
00:13:24Time we looked at that, too.
00:13:27Now, unwrap it, Johnny.
00:13:33Did you hear me, boy?
00:13:34Move your fingers.
00:14:02Move your fingers.
00:14:02I can't.
00:14:10It's no wonder they've all grown together.
00:14:15I know.
00:14:16Well, so, so that's it.
00:14:23There'll be no more following the trade for you.
00:14:27Why, why, why, we're not bound to his contract after this, are we?
00:14:33Johnny's contract is with me.
00:14:35Come here, boy.
00:14:36I've said nothing about the broken Sabbath, Johnny.
00:14:46God has sent you enough punishment for that.
00:14:49If you can't serve me, you'll have to find other work.
00:14:53But I want you to know that as long as I live, there'll be a place in this house for you.
00:14:58Not if I can't earn it.
00:15:02Not if I can't earn it.
00:15:14Johnny!
00:15:16Johnny!
00:15:18Johnny, I don't want you to go off like this.
00:15:21Goodbye, Stella.
00:15:23But at least stay until you can find something.
00:15:29You're a stubborn fool, Johnny Tremaine.
00:15:311,600 weight of West Indies molasses to the order of Hitchborn and Company at Boston in the Bay of Massachusetts.
00:15:41Good boy, very good.
00:15:42Lads who can read a hard come by these days.
00:15:45Now let me see a sample of your pen.
00:15:49Come on, boy.
00:15:57I'm sorry, boy.
00:15:59We could have used you.
00:16:01Well, you've sinny on your bones, lad.
00:16:04Enough to weather a voyage in fine style.
00:16:06We sail on the Tuesday tide.
00:16:08You mean you'll give me a berth?
00:16:10Here's my hand on it.
00:16:14Country mates!
00:16:16Country mates!
00:16:20I'm sorry.
00:16:22But who's going to hire a boy with one hand when there are dozens to be had with two?
00:16:31I'm sorry.
00:16:38Quackle!
00:16:40Quackle!
00:16:40Quackle!
00:16:47Quackle!
00:16:47Quackle!
00:16:48Quackle!
00:16:50Wait here.
00:17:02You can bill me for these at the end of the month.
00:17:04Yes, sir. Good day, sir.
00:17:06Buy your leave, sir.
00:17:07No, what is it?
00:17:08Sir, I wanted to talk to you.
00:17:10Oh, aren't you old man Lapham's apprentice?
00:17:12The young rascal who ruined the silver he was making for me?
00:17:14Yes, sir, I was.
00:17:16But my name is Jonathan Light Tremaine.
00:17:19So.
00:17:20Jonathan Light Tremaine.
00:17:23Well, get on with it.
00:17:24There's more to it, isn't there?
00:17:25Or shall I tell you how it goes?
00:17:27Your dying mother told you to come to me in adversity.
00:17:31That you are my relative.
00:17:33Isn't that it?
00:17:34Why, yes, but I didn't realize you'd know.
00:17:36What rich man doesn't know that trick?
00:17:38It's one of the oldest in the world.
00:17:40One of the scurriest.
00:17:42But, sir, I have this to prove what I say is true.
00:17:48Where'd you get that?
00:17:49My mother gave it to me.
00:17:51Gave it to you, eh?
00:17:53A long time ago, I suppose.
00:17:56Yes, when she told me about my name.
00:17:59Quite so.
00:18:07Suppose you bring that to my house after supper tonight,
00:18:09and we'll discuss our relationship and proper surroundings.
00:18:14Drive on.
00:18:15Thank you, sir.
00:18:16Thank you, sir.
00:18:16What do you want, boy?
00:18:36I have an apartment with Mr. Light.
00:18:37Oh, Master Tremaine.
00:18:40Can I take your back, sir?
00:18:41Right this way.
00:18:50Master Jonathan Light Tremaine.
00:18:52Ah, come in, my boy, come in.
00:18:54My friend, Mr. Hooper.
00:18:55Your servant.
00:18:56Oh, that cup, boy.
00:18:59You know, I think you've solved a family mystery of long standing, Master Tremaine.
00:19:05I think we can agree that these four cups are identical and of one set,
00:19:10bearing the Light family crest.
00:19:12Hmm, it is obvious that this fourth cup now stands where it belongs.
00:19:17There remains only the question of how it came into Master Tremaine's hands.
00:19:23But I've already told you that, sir.
00:19:25My mother gave it to me.
00:19:26Ah, yes.
00:19:27Your mother.
00:19:29Constable, didn't I report on August 10th last
00:19:32that a window was broken in this room
00:19:34and one of these cups, carelessly left out,
00:19:37was stolen along with some other trifles of silver?
00:19:40That you did, sir.
00:19:41Well, we've found our burglar, Constable.
00:19:45Take him away.
00:19:47Come, boy.
00:20:00Mr. Revere, Ram, how'd you know I was here?
00:20:04He's with us, Johnny.
00:20:05Let's us know every time he gets a new tenant.
00:20:07Looks as though Mr. Light intends to make an example of you.
00:20:13Don't worry, lad.
00:20:14This is Mr. Josiah Quincy.
00:20:16He's taking your case.
00:20:18But I can't afford a lawyer, let alone the best one in Boston.
00:20:22Any innocent man can afford me.
00:20:24But I'm a nobody.
00:20:25And we're all nobodies when we're standing alone.
00:20:28It's what I tried to tell you, Johnny.
00:20:29It's when we fight together that counts.
00:20:32And we happen to believe that we must fight just as fiercely
00:20:35against small tyrannies as against big ones.
00:20:38So, Mr. Quincy is your lawyer.
00:20:40And now then, Mr. Light,
00:20:46having heard your testimony and that of the defendant,
00:20:49a few questions, if you please.
00:20:51Certainly, sir.
00:20:53You state that these cups were presents from your father
00:20:56to each of his children to commemorate their christening.
00:21:00Yes, as the sole survivor of those children,
00:21:02these cups have all come into my hands in due course.
00:21:04Quite so.
00:21:05And each of your three brothers
00:21:06has passed on to his reward through the years,
00:21:08leaving his goods and chattels, including these cups, to you.
00:21:11But, sir, yours is a very well-known family,
00:21:14both here and in England.
00:21:16And I'm under the impression that your father had five children,
00:21:20rather than the four you mentioned.
00:21:22True.
00:21:22There was a sister lost under tragic circumstances many years ago,
00:21:27before any of us came to America.
00:21:29Then is it not possible that this boy's story could be true?
00:21:31Could he not, in fact, be related to you?
00:21:33You say my name and family are well-known.
00:21:36Look at this beggar from the streets and look at me, sir,
00:21:40and let that be your answer.
00:21:42Your eloquence is respected by all, Mr. Quincy,
00:21:45but I fear, sir, that not even you can alter fact.
00:21:48That heirloom of little value in itself
00:21:50was plainly stolen for no other purpose
00:21:52than to establish just such a preposterous claim
00:21:55as that young ruffian has proposed.
00:21:58Your Honor,
00:21:59the apprentices and scavengers of Boston
00:22:01get out of hand these days.
00:22:03They roam the streets in lawless bands,
00:22:05roaring out treasonous songs in the public squares
00:22:08and prating of liberty like drunken parliamentarians.
00:22:13Loyal and lawful citizens at their mercy.
00:22:16I suggest, sir, that these sentiments
00:22:18have prejudiced you against this unfortunate lad.
00:22:20Most certainly not.
00:22:21My reputation for fairness
00:22:24is known throughout this colony, sir.
00:22:27I bear no ill will towards my fellow man,
00:22:30whatever his age or station,
00:22:32but I have been robbed,
00:22:33and the gallows of this city
00:22:35have been too long empty.
00:22:37In the interests of justice,
00:22:38I demand the death penalty.
00:22:41That, fortunately,
00:22:42is for the court to determine.
00:22:47I thank you, sir.
00:22:48Does that conclude your case, Mr. Quincy?
00:22:56No, no, Your Honor.
00:22:57May I remind you, sir,
00:22:58that we have a full docket today.
00:23:00I had hoped to summon a witness
00:23:02in behalf of my client.
00:23:03Out of the way.
00:23:04Out of the way, sir.
00:23:07There she is now.
00:23:08I call Priscilla Lampard.
00:23:11Come on.
00:23:11Come on.
00:23:13That doesn't make sense.
00:23:16You swear by the living God
00:23:20that the evidence you shall tell this court
00:23:21concerning the cause now in question
00:23:22shall be the truth,
00:23:23the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
00:23:25so help you God.
00:23:26I do.
00:23:30Miss Lappin,
00:23:31have you ever seen this cup before?
00:23:33Yes, sir.
00:23:35And will you tell the court where?
00:23:37In grandfather's shop.
00:23:38And do you know to whom this cup belongs?
00:23:42Him.
00:23:43He showed it to me
00:23:44the night he told me
00:23:45his true name was Jonathan Light Tremaine.
00:23:47And when was that?
00:23:49The 5th of July.
00:23:50Are you sure of the date?
00:23:52I'll never forget it.
00:23:54It was just two days before he burned his hand.
00:23:57And I submit, Your Honor,
00:23:58more than a month before Mr. Light says
00:24:01his missing cup was stolen.
00:24:02Thank you, Miss Lappin.
00:24:07Oh, just a moment, gal.
00:24:14Do you know who I am?
00:24:16Yes, sir.
00:24:17Good.
00:24:18Now, isn't it a fact
00:24:20that the accident to which you will refer
00:24:22occurred while this young felon
00:24:25was deliberately breaking the law?
00:24:26He was breaking the Sabbath,
00:24:28if that's what you mean.
00:24:29Precisely.
00:24:30We all were, except Grandpa.
00:24:31Because this unprincipled boy
00:24:33urged you to it?
00:24:34No, sir.
00:24:35Because you'd brought us an order
00:24:36that could have paid
00:24:37all the back rent Grandpa owes you.
00:24:39Your Honor,
00:24:40it is not I who am prejudiced in this case.
00:24:43This girl is obviously in love with the prisoner
00:24:45and is determined to protect him.
00:24:48I'm not in love with Johnny Tremaine.
00:24:50He's the most stiff-backed,
00:24:52thick-headed, stubborn boy in Boston.
00:24:54And a lying thief.
00:24:55That isn't so.
00:24:56Don't argue with me.
00:24:58Johnny may be everything I said, Your Honor,
00:25:00but he never told a lie
00:25:02or did a dishonest thing in his life.
00:25:04I am not interested in your opinion, young woman.
00:25:07What I want to know is...
00:25:08One moment, Mr. Light.
00:25:10A tenant who dares to testify
00:25:12against her landlord has courage, sir.
00:25:15And in the opinion of this court,
00:25:17no possible motive but the truth.
00:25:19This court finds no evidence
00:25:21to support the charges against this defendant.
00:25:24Good day, Mr. Light.
00:25:25Next case.
00:25:25Thank you, Stella.
00:25:33It was my duty, Johnny Tremaine.
00:25:35And don't get an idea it was anything else.
00:25:42Things look a little brighter.
00:25:44Thanks to you and Mr. Revere and your other friends,
00:25:46you've all helped me so much,
00:25:47I'd like to help you somehow.
00:25:49That doesn't sound like Johnny Tremaine.
00:25:51What do you mean?
00:25:52What's happened to the master smith
00:25:55who was going to stand on his own two feet
00:25:57and let others stand on their own?
00:25:59The one who thought freemen's rights
00:26:00and people working together
00:26:02was just a lot of things
00:26:03that got argued about by politicians.
00:26:05Guess I have learned a bit about that, haven't I?
00:26:08But just the same,
00:26:09I wish there was something I could do.
00:26:11Matter of fact, there is.
00:26:13Come on.
00:26:14You can help me with a chore across the street.
00:26:17Who's gone with it?
00:26:18Pump some water in a trough.
00:26:20I'll bring him out to meet you.
00:26:22I'll bring him out to meet you.
00:26:32Like him, don't you?
00:26:33Who wouldn't?
00:26:34He belong to you?
00:26:35Uncle Nat.
00:26:37Goblin.
00:26:38That's a funny name.
00:26:39He's a funny horse.
00:26:40His imagination gets the best of him
00:26:42every now and then.
00:26:43Rag, a paper, a bush.
00:26:45Thinks they're all terrible goblins
00:26:46that eat horses.
00:26:48I bet I can make friends with him.
00:26:49You know, Johnny,
00:26:51there is something you could do
00:26:53if you could only ride.
00:26:55Why can't I?
00:26:56It only takes one hand to hold the reins.
00:26:59On Goblin, even two hands aren't enough.
00:27:02I can do it, can't I, boy?
00:27:04All right.
00:27:05I'll get a saddle.
00:27:07We'll see.
00:27:08We'll see you next time.
00:27:31Haven't you had enough?
00:27:32Just a little bit longer.
00:27:33I think he's beginning to trust me.
00:27:36All right.
00:27:37Once more.
00:27:37But that's all.
00:27:47You've got to show him this time, Goblin.
00:27:48Do this for me
00:27:49and I won't ever let anything happen to you.
00:27:51No goblins are going to get you
00:27:52when you're with me.
00:27:53Will he do?
00:28:05Yes, Uncle Nat.
00:28:06We finally got the horse boy we need.
00:28:08Good.
00:28:09Oh, I've run tomorrow's paper.
00:28:10You better start folding it.
00:28:11Yes, Uncle Nat.
00:28:12Can I help?
00:28:12If you want to.
00:28:14They, uh, still upstairs?
00:28:16They've adjourned.
00:28:17Five hundred and thirty-two subscribers.
00:28:23Biggest newspaper in the whole province.
00:28:26Grab.
00:28:27What's it all about?
00:28:29The latch on the door.
00:28:31And the people upstairs.
00:28:34I was waiting for you to ask.
00:28:39Know what this is?
00:28:42It looks like the Liberty Tree.
00:28:44It is.
00:28:45It's our badge.
00:28:45You see, Johnny,
00:28:48the Observer is really the voice
00:28:49of the Sons of Liberty.
00:28:51The committee meets secretly here,
00:28:53upstairs, like tonight.
00:28:55And sometimes part of your job
00:28:57will be to carry messages for them.
00:28:59Who is the committee?
00:29:00The men who organized us.
00:29:02The greatest patriots in Boston.
00:29:04Now, there isn't any list.
00:29:07Don't dare write it down
00:29:08for fear it'll fall in the wrong hands.
00:29:10So you'll have to memorize the names.
00:29:13You trust me?
00:29:14Any reason why we shouldn't?
00:29:17Here they come.
00:29:22Good night.
00:29:23Good night, Mr. Lauren.
00:29:24Good night, Doctor.
00:29:24I'll let you jump in now.
00:29:25Dr. Warren.
00:29:27Paul Revere.
00:29:27Mr. Quincy.
00:29:28You know them.
00:29:30That's the Reverend Samuel Cooper
00:29:31and his brother William.
00:29:32Martin Brimmer.
00:29:36Mr. Molyneux.
00:29:37Moses Gill.
00:29:39Newman Greenough.
00:29:41Tom Boylston.
00:29:43Oliver Wendell.
00:29:45Joseph Ayers.
00:29:47Josiah Black.
00:29:48Oh, Mr. Quincy, sir.
00:29:53Yes, Johnny.
00:29:54What is it?
00:29:54Mr. Lauren's compliments.
00:29:55And you owe the Boston Observer
00:29:56six shillings.
00:30:01I remember.
00:30:02No work for a few days
00:30:03until the swelling goes down.
00:30:04Hello, Johnny.
00:30:05Mr. Lauren's compliments, sir.
00:30:06And you owe the Observer
00:30:07six shillings.
00:30:08Oh?
00:30:09So, Mr. Lauren,
00:30:09I'll attend to it straight away.
00:30:11Yes, sir.
00:30:12Mr. Lauren's compliments, sir.
00:30:13And I owe the Observer
00:30:14six shillings.
00:30:15Thank you, Johnny.
00:30:16Mr. Adams just told me.
00:30:18Yes, sir.
00:30:19You owe the Observer
00:30:20six shillings.
00:30:21That means the committee's
00:30:22meeting at six, doesn't it?
00:30:24Maybe.
00:30:25What do you suppose
00:30:25the meeting's all about?
00:30:27Well, it could be
00:30:29to draft a letter of apology
00:30:30to the governor
00:30:31for interfering in his affairs.
00:30:33On the other hand,
00:30:34there's a T-ship at Griffin's Wharf
00:30:36that will have been in harbor
00:30:3720 days tomorrow.
00:30:39And the law says
00:30:39after 20 days,
00:30:40any cargo that hasn't been unloaded
00:30:42must be seized by the governor
00:30:44and sold at auction.
00:30:45They might want to talk about that.
00:30:50They've been talking over an hour,
00:30:52probably dry enough
00:30:53for some punch by now.
00:30:54Very well.
00:30:58May I take this up for you, sir?
00:30:59Oh, I can manage it.
00:31:01Oh, I see.
00:31:02You've never been up there, have you?
00:31:03No, sir.
00:31:04Very well, Johnny.
00:31:05Thank you, sir.
00:31:12Gentlemen, gentlemen,
00:31:19then we're all agreed.
00:31:20The last detail,
00:31:21as far as I'm concerned, doctor.
00:31:22The one move
00:31:23they'll not expect us to make.
00:31:25Help yourselves, gentlemen.
00:31:27Take my word,
00:31:27there's not a drop of tea in it.
00:31:31Oh, ref!
00:31:32Have you warned your lads
00:31:34we may need them?
00:31:35Yes, sir.
00:31:35They're ready.
00:31:36Good.
00:31:36We're going from here
00:31:38to a mass meeting at Old South.
00:31:40The last plea
00:31:41to ship the tea back to England
00:31:42has been sent to the governor.
00:31:44His answer will come back
00:31:46to me at the meeting.
00:31:47If he refuses us again,
00:31:49I'll give you the signal.
00:31:51You know what to do then.
00:31:52Yes, sir,
00:31:52but we'll be outside the church,
00:31:54and if there's much of a crowd,
00:31:55we won't be able to hear you.
00:31:57Well, there'll be a crowd, all right.
00:32:00Johnny, do you have a whistle?
00:32:02I can get one, sir.
00:32:03Good boy.
00:32:05You get over to Old South
00:32:06and get inside
00:32:07where you can see me
00:32:08and hear me.
00:32:08When the governor's message comes,
00:32:10if you hear me say,
00:32:12this meeting can do nothing more
00:32:15to save the country,
00:32:17you get outside
00:32:18and blow on that whistle
00:32:18for all you're worth.
00:32:20Understand?
00:32:21Yes, sir.
00:32:24Gentlemen, a toast.
00:32:27A toast to the hope
00:32:28that is foremost in all our hearts.
00:32:32A reasonable answer
00:32:33from Governor Hutchinson.
00:32:34We stand upon moral grounds
00:32:44no less firm
00:32:45than the rock-ribbed shores
00:32:47of our own continent,
00:32:49the rights of free Englishmen,
00:32:51wherever they may be.
00:32:53And from this unassailable vantage,
00:32:57we must face the gale.
00:32:59I see the clouds
00:33:00which rise thick and fast
00:33:02upon our horizon.
00:33:04The thunder roll
00:33:05and the lightning play.
00:33:06And to our guns
00:33:07which rides the whirlwind
00:33:10and directs the storm,
00:33:11I commit my country.
00:33:14We sure don't look like no real Indians.
00:33:16Not supposed to, especially.
00:33:17Just we don't look like ourselves.
00:33:19Can't recognize anybody.
00:33:20You can't blame anybody.
00:33:27Quiet!
00:33:28Mr. Adams will speak.
00:33:35Fellow citizens,
00:33:38Governor Hutchinson's answer
00:33:40has arrived.
00:33:45This meeting can do nothing more
00:33:48to save the country.
00:33:57Come on, lads.
00:33:58Come on, lads.
00:34:19Come on.
00:34:21Come on, lads.
00:34:26Seven o'clock on a fine night, and all dwell.
00:34:43Seven o'clock on a fine night, and all dwell.
00:34:48All is well tonight, indeed.
00:34:51But those seditious meddlers who call themselves the Sons of Liberty
00:34:55have given us a bad time these past 20 days, Admiral.
00:34:58You know, I swear if I hadn't stiffened the governor's resolution,
00:35:01I believe you'd have shipped that tea back to England.
00:35:03What a misfortune that would have been.
00:35:06Allow me to offer you a glass of port in celebration of your victory.
00:35:10Yes, the landing of that tea tomorrow is a bit of a victory for me.
00:35:14I dare say, Mr. Lake, naturally you'll buy it in at the auction.
00:35:18Naturally.
00:35:19Another vast profit.
00:35:20Oh, I'm a man of business, sir.
00:35:22But believe me, my real satisfaction is in the utter defeat of these radical demagogues
00:35:27who have so long corrupted Boston.
00:35:30I'm convinced, Admiral, we shall hear no more prattle of liberty or the rights of man.
00:35:34Remember your orders.
00:35:50No damage to the ship.
00:35:52No violence to the crew.
00:35:55No harm to any cargo but the tea.
00:35:58It would seem, Mr. Lighthouse celebration is a trifle premature.
00:36:02Do your task, gentlemen.
00:36:05Come on, lads.
00:36:13Well, sir, aren't you going to do something?
00:36:15What, for instance?
00:36:16Those ships out there are loaded with His Majesty's Marines.
00:36:19Bring them ashore!
00:36:20I take my orders from the governor.
00:36:23Good evening, Captain.
00:36:25I must ask you for your keys.
00:36:28If you please, sir.
00:36:29Excited, Johnny?
00:36:40This is a night I wish I had two good hands.
00:36:42You can.
00:36:43I've told you before.
00:36:45Anytime you'll come to my surgery.
00:36:49A few moments with a knife.
00:36:52A few moments of pain.
00:36:53Your fingers will be free.
00:36:55We need good men, Johnny.
00:36:58The best we can get.
00:36:58Come on.
00:37:12Yes, sir.
00:37:13THE END
00:37:43Don't you realize, sir, that tea is worth more than two shillings a pound?
00:38:04And those chests weigh near four hundred weight apiece?
00:38:07A loss of more than forty pounds sterling a chest?
00:38:10As much as eighteen thousand pounds value for the whole cargo?
00:38:14No doubt, Mr. Lack.
00:38:15But isn't it odd?
00:38:17Those Indians seem to prefer principle to profit.
00:38:21Shunned at a tested beverage and let none be landed on these shores.
00:38:24Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:38:30Here goes the last one.
00:38:32A rubber!
00:38:44That's it, lads!
00:38:45There you are, sir, all ship-shape and brisketl fashion.
00:38:56And thank you, Captain, for the use of these.
00:38:58THE END
00:38:58THE END
00:38:58THE END
00:39:00JULIAN
00:39:05so
00:39:05Oh

00:41:43My name is Warren
00:41:52I have an appointment with the Governor
00:41:53Yes, Dr. Warren
00:41:55The General Gage is expecting you, sir
00:41:56Dr. Warren, sir
00:42:05Oh, come in, doctor
00:42:06I trust my sending for you
00:42:09Is not an imposition
00:42:09Why, not at all, General
00:42:11Any service at my command
00:42:12I have always held you in great respect, sir
00:42:17And you will believe my sincerity
00:42:19When I tell you that the time has come
00:42:21When we must have an understanding
00:42:22We, General?
00:42:24It has long been known to me
00:42:26That you are the most influential voice
00:42:28In that body
00:42:29Which you call the Committee
00:42:30And now, doctor
00:42:32The fate of Boston
00:42:35Lies on this table between us
00:42:37I received today this newspaper from Portsmouth
00:42:40It contains an account of Lord Chatham's speech
00:42:43To the House of Lords
00:42:43I wonder if you have seen it
00:42:46No, doctor
00:42:47You are an admirer of Lord Chatham
00:42:49What Englishman is not?
00:42:52Lord Chatham's speech proposes an address to the King
00:42:55With the demand that you and your soldiers
00:42:57Be immediately withdrawn from Boston
00:42:58I see
00:43:00May I take it, sir
00:43:01That such a decision
00:43:03Would not be entirely unwelcome to you
00:43:05I have lived in these provinces
00:43:07For too many years, sir
00:43:08To enjoy the responsibilities
00:43:10Which have now been thrust upon me
00:43:12Chatham speaks here of the Ministry
00:43:14And the effects of its colonial policy
00:43:16He...
00:43:17May I?
00:43:20Resistance to your acts
00:43:21Was as necessary as it was just
00:43:23And your imperious doctrines
00:43:25Will be found incompetent to convince
00:43:26Or enslave your fellow subjects in America
00:43:29Who feel that tyranny
00:43:31Is intolerable to British subjects
00:43:34All attempts to establish despotism
00:43:38Over such a mighty continental nation
00:43:40Must be vain
00:43:41Must be fatal
00:43:43We shall be forced ultimately to retreat
00:43:47Let us retreat while we can
00:43:50Not when we must
00:43:53Lord Chatham is one of the greatest statesmen
00:44:00England has ever known
00:44:01But Lord Chatham is not in office
00:44:03I am a soldier, sir
00:44:05And must take my orders
00:44:07From the Ministry and power
00:44:08Those orders are explicit
00:44:11I must not open this port
00:44:13To any trade whatsoever
00:44:14Until the tea has been paid for
00:44:16To the last shilling
00:44:17And I must stamp out vigorously
00:44:20The least sign of resistance
00:44:22To the Ministry's policy
00:44:23In this connection
00:44:25There are certain things
00:44:26To which I can no longer close my eyes
00:44:28The illegal bodies of militia, for instance
00:44:30Drilling on every village green
00:44:31They must be disbanded
00:44:33And I am also aware
00:44:35That considerable stores of munitions
00:44:37Are being assembled
00:44:38They must be surrendered at once
00:44:42That is why I sent for you
00:44:45I am sorry, General
00:44:50But that I do not have the power to do
00:44:52Why not?
00:44:53Because free men will never consent
00:44:55To give up the means
00:44:56Of defending their liberties
00:44:57Good day, Doctor
00:45:00Good day, sir
00:45:02You realize, Doctor
00:45:07This means that I must enforce my orders
00:45:10I do, sir
00:45:11We have our duty
00:45:14We cannot deny you yours
00:45:16Work out
00:45:40Ah, come in, my boy, come in.
00:45:52Delightful weather we're having?
00:45:55Yes, sir.
00:45:56This way.
00:45:58We'll see to it we're not disturbed.
00:46:04Well, sit down, my boy, sit down.
00:46:09Johnny!
00:46:10I've decided to go back to England.
00:46:12Boston is no place for a merchant now with the government in the hands of the military,
00:46:16the port closed, trade at a standstill and more soldiers than civilians on the streets.
00:46:23It's a sorry situation, isn't it?
00:46:25Yes, sir.
00:46:26Why doesn't General Gage take his red coats home?
00:46:29But you don't understand.
00:46:31Boston must first accept responsibility for the tea she destroyed.
00:46:35Why?
00:46:35We didn't ask for the tea.
00:46:37The Ministry forced it on us.
00:46:38Well, that has nothing to do with it!
00:46:39Do you know that a group of loyal merchants, myself amongst them, offered to pay out of
00:46:47their own pockets the 18,000 pounds in damages the Ministry demands for the tea?
00:46:51Yes, sir.
00:46:51And do you know that the political leaders of Boston have repeatedly refused this generous
00:46:57and peaceable solution to the plight of the town and its people?
00:47:00Yes, sir.
00:47:01Well, then can you sit there and tell me that such leaders are working in the public interest?
00:47:05Yes, because we can't give up our principles.
00:47:07Principles?
00:47:08Huh!
00:47:09What do beardless boys like you, or traitors like Sam Adams and his kind, know of principles?
00:47:14They're only trying to stir the whole colony to defiance of crown and ministry alike.
00:47:18No, they're not.
00:47:19Then what are they doing?
00:47:20They're defending our liberties, and every free-born Englishman has the right to do that.
00:47:24Why are you parroting, young Papinjay?
00:47:26I didn't send for you to hear the top of any political lecture!
00:47:30Why did you send for me?
00:47:33To make you an offer I now realize I would have regretted for the rest of my life.
00:47:38I've been at pains to investigate your claim of relationship to me.
00:47:41I was willing to grant that you might indeed be my dead sister's son.
00:47:45I'd intended, in fact, to take you to England with me and try and make a gentleman of you.
00:47:50You would have wasted your time, sir.
00:47:52I would never leave Boston.
00:47:55I warn you, lad.
00:47:57When the hangman comes for your rebel friends, there'll be no one to whom you can turn.
00:48:02Then I'll hang with him.
00:48:11This cup means more to you than it ever will to me.
00:48:28Dr. Warren and Mr. Adams and Mr. Revere are upstairs making plans right now.
00:48:33And I've sent for all of you because they need help.
00:48:35What can we do, Rab?
00:48:37They think General Gage is going to make a move soon.
00:48:39And they have to know what he plans to do before he does it.
00:48:42That's where you come in.
00:48:44To watch the General's headquarters and the Redcoats and to report everything they do and say.
00:48:49What about you?
00:48:50Some of us are old enough to carry guns.
00:48:54Captain Parker out in Lexington is my cousin.
00:48:56He wants us to come out and join his Minutemen when the Redcoats move.
00:49:00Wait a minute.
00:49:00You're not going to leave me out of that.
00:49:03There's plenty for you to do here, Johnny.
00:49:05You watch the Redcoats billeted on this street,
00:49:08like the African Queen across the way.
00:49:10Dorcas, you and the Hitchborn boys watch the camps on the collier.
00:49:16Don't take it so hard, Johnny.
00:49:17I'm glad you're not going to Lexington.
00:49:19I like it better with you here.
00:49:20I can carry a gun as well as he can.
00:49:22I've been thinking.
00:49:25A lot of Redcoats are billeted at the Green Dragon.
00:49:28I can get a job in the kitchen there and pick up all sorts of things while I'm serving.
00:49:32I don't want you hanging around a lot of Redcoats.
00:49:34That's what we're supposed to do.
00:49:36All of us.
00:49:37I don't want you where I can keep an eye on you while you're watching them.
00:49:41Colonel Smith and his staff are quartered at the African Queen.
00:49:44That's a better place for you.
00:49:45All right, Johnny.
00:49:46The African Queen.
00:49:49You doddering old fool.
00:49:51Three weeks is enough time to make new campaign flasks for the whole regiment.
00:49:54All I wanted was my old one repaired.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:49:57In a day or two...
00:49:57Oh, in a day or two.
00:49:58I sail on the morning tide and I want my flask.
00:50:00I beg your pardon, sir, but has the port been reopened so ships may sail from Boston again?
00:50:04What business is it of yours?
00:50:06I thought Mr. Lapham might send your flask on after you on another ship.
00:50:09If I go by military transport, there'll be no other ships, Mike.
00:50:11Well, maybe he can send it on by me.
00:50:13I deliver newspapers to most of the nearby towns and I'd be glad...
00:50:16You don't deliver newspapers to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
00:50:20It worked!
00:50:21It worked!
00:50:36Dr. Warren still here?
00:50:38Yes, what's up?
00:50:38I don't know, maybe nothing.
00:50:41What's the matter, Johnny?
00:50:43The Red Colts after you?
00:50:44No, sir, but I think they're after something.
00:50:45What do you mean, boy?
00:50:46Well, an officer just told Sill and me that he's sailing in a troop transport to Portsmouth tomorrow.
00:50:50That's hardly the move we expected from Gage.
00:50:53But a shrewd one, Sam.
00:50:54Look here.
00:50:55The Portsmouth Committee reports a lot of crown munitions stored at Fort William and Mary there,
00:50:58and the garrison badly on demand.
00:51:01The committee thinks the fort could be taken.
00:51:03Apparently, General Gage thinks so, too.
00:51:05We could use those arms and powder.
00:51:07I'll be in Portsmouth before the transport clears Boston Harbor.
00:51:17Good evening, Mr. Revere.
00:51:19Not much traffic these nights, eh, boys?
00:51:21Not daytime either, Mr. Revere.
00:51:23It's a dead town, that's a fact.
00:51:25How had some cider go with your rations?
00:51:27Oh, we not forgot the last jug you brought us, sir.
00:51:29I'll have a cousin over in Milton.
00:51:30Perhaps he can spare one I can bring back.
00:51:32A good ride, dear.
00:51:33There goes one provincial who sits his horse like a gentleman.
00:51:42Aye.
00:51:42And always as fast as he can go.
00:51:45I reckon he's the ridinest man in Boston.
00:51:49After securing the keys to the armory, the provincials carried off 97 kegs of powder
00:51:54and 110 stands of small arms.
00:51:57Their whereabouts are now unknown.
00:51:59I have the honor to be, et cetera, Henry Green, lieutenant, commanding officer, Fort William and Mary.
00:52:04The impudence of these gawking Yankee doodles.
00:52:06Their impudence does not disturb me so much as the situation, Colonel Smith.
00:52:10With arms and powder, they can offer a forcible resistance.
00:52:13And they're certain to do so if the ministry insists on pressing them too far.
00:52:17They've been storing munitions in villages all around Boston.
00:52:20In my opinion, sir, we must confiscate these contraband stores at once.
00:52:24I quite agree. But no blood has been shed by my command thus far,
00:52:28and I am determined none shall be shed.
00:52:30None will be, sir.
00:52:32If I may have a small picked force,
00:52:34say a detachment of grenadier and light infantry companies from each regiment,
00:52:38I will undertake the matter.
00:52:39But if you meet with resistance, sir?
00:52:41There'll be no resistance.
00:52:43We're not dealing with a professional army, Major Pitcairn.
00:52:46These are but farmers and mechanics who spend a few hours each week
00:52:49playing at soldiers on the green.
00:52:51If we can move at night with the utmost secrecy.
00:52:54We'll be back in Boston with their precious munitions in our position
00:52:57before they can summon a dozen of their men from their beds.
00:53:01Very well, Colonel.
00:53:02You may have your picked force.
00:53:06And pray God we are right.
00:53:11Put more back into it, boy.
00:53:12You'll never get a shine room without your bear down.
00:53:15And the Colonel likes his horse flesh, you know.
00:53:17Not this old nag he don't.
00:53:18He hasn't had a saddle on him all spring.
00:53:20Well, he may any day.
00:53:22And the beast's got to be fit.
00:53:23The Colonel always rides his parade horse.
00:53:25A slipper for dancing, a boot for mud.
00:53:27So bear down like I told you.
00:53:28Thank you, lass.
00:53:29Service has improved in this rat trap since you came along.
00:53:32Kind of you to say it, sir.
00:53:35Orders, uh, with the General's compliments.
00:53:37Very well.
00:53:42Confounded lad, you'll never be a fit horse, but you'll earn the proper stroke.
00:53:46Here, let me show you.
00:53:51Wait a minute, lass.
00:53:52Yes, sir.
00:53:53Be a good girl to fetch us to my quarters, will you?
00:53:55With pleasure, sir.
00:53:57You're back, lad.
00:53:59Put your back into it.
00:54:00Here, I'll show you.
00:54:02Hello, Johnny.
00:54:05Where's everybody?
00:54:06Most of them have already left.
00:54:08I had to work late, but it was worth it.
00:54:10Some hot cider, Silva?
00:54:12Look, a copy of Gage's latest order.
00:54:19Is that all?
00:54:21All?
00:54:22Listen, all Grenadier and Light Infantry Companies
00:54:26are detached for five days training in special evolution.
00:54:30Most of the rest of us have already brought in the same thing.
00:54:32Oh, I see.
00:54:34Johnny!
00:54:34Yes, sir?
00:54:35We've decided to call a meeting of the committee tonight.
00:54:38The usual time?
00:54:38No, make it nine o'clock.
00:54:39And Johnny, tell the members that this may be the last meeting for a while.
00:54:44We want them all here.
00:54:46Even Mr. Otis?
00:54:48Especially Mr. Otis, if he's well enough to come.
00:54:50Is that wise, Doctor?
00:54:52His spells have been becoming more violent lately.
00:54:55Before that injury to his head, James Otis was the most brilliant mind among us, Sam.
00:54:59He started the committee.
00:55:01It's fitting he be here when we end it.
00:55:04All right, Johnny.
00:55:04Dr. Warren, this order, it means the redcoats are going to move, doesn't it?
00:55:11We think so, within the next five days.
00:55:13Then isn't it time for us to join Captain Parker?
00:55:17What do you think, Sam?
00:55:18Every day that passes will make it harder for men and boys of military age to get out of Boston.
00:55:25Go ahead, Rab.
00:55:27And good luck.
00:55:29Thank you, sir.
00:55:32Come on, lads.
00:55:35It's me, Rab.
00:55:37Oh, Dr. Warren.
00:55:39Where's Rab?
00:55:41He's gone on to Lexington.
00:55:42But without me?
00:55:44You could hardly go, Johnny.
00:55:45Surely you can see that.
00:55:47I'd like to know why not.
00:55:48Well, let's say I need you more here.
00:55:51Is Mr. Otis coming?
00:55:52Yes, sir.
00:55:53Good.
00:55:54Now, you take over from me and admit him when he gets here.
00:55:57Yes, sir.
00:56:06For ten long years, we've tried to placate Crown and Parliament, and they've tried to placate us.
00:56:13The cry is, Pete!
00:56:17Oh, Mr. Otis.
00:56:18Good evening.
00:56:20Good evening, boy.
00:56:23Mr. Otis.
00:56:25I'm not sure any choice before us.
00:56:26The others are waiting for you, sir.
00:56:28Oh, suck Sammy Adams, eh?
00:56:31But out of there shall come such a country as was never seen on this earth before.
00:56:36A free country.
00:56:38For this we will fight.
00:56:45Good evening, gentlemen.
00:56:47Mr. Otis, this place properly belongs to you.
00:56:56Thank you, doctor.
00:57:01Here you are, sir.
00:57:03Now, Sammy, let's see.
00:57:09You have got as far as for this we will fight.
00:57:12Well, I've not always agreed with you, but you are right in that.
00:57:16In all conscience, Mr. Otis, this committee cannot declare for war.
00:57:20Determination to defend our rights, yes.
00:57:23Necessary preparations to do so.
00:57:25But war?
00:57:27Only if war is made against us.
00:57:29A splendid resolve, doctor.
00:57:32But it doesn't alter fact.
00:57:34The fatal shot will come whoever is to pull the trigger.
00:57:37When it does, then fight we must and fight we will.
00:57:40But for what?
00:57:41This is the thing we must know.
00:57:45That the whole world must know.
00:57:48For what do we fight?
00:57:50Tell me that.
00:57:50To rid ourselves of these infernal redcoats.
00:57:55That's no reason for blood on our land, Paul.
00:58:00We've earned these redcoats.
00:58:02We've shouted our treason in the press and the public squares
00:58:05for ten long years without hindrance.
00:58:07And did ever an occupied city receive better treatment
00:58:11than we of Boston have had?
00:58:13Where are the firing squads?
00:58:15The jails filled with political prisoners?
00:58:18The gallows erected for Paul Revere?
00:58:23Samuel Cooper?
00:58:27Sammy Adams?
00:58:29And Joseph Warren?
00:58:30I hate the presence of these troops of the ministry as much as any of you.
00:58:39But we are not going off into a civil war just to get them out of Boston.
00:58:45Tell me why, then.
00:58:46Why do we fight?
00:58:48To end tyrannous taxation.
00:58:51Something more important than our precious pocketbooks.
00:58:55But what is it?
00:58:55The rights of Englishmen.
00:58:57Ah.
00:58:59Now we have a glimmer.
00:59:01And it is prophetic that it should shine brightest in the eyes of youth.
00:59:05Rights?
00:59:06Yes.
00:59:07But why stop with Englishmen?
00:59:08Is the earth so small it can be room for only one people?
00:59:12Or can we here fight for men and women and children all over the world?
00:59:16For this we can have war.
00:59:18That there should be no more tyranny.
00:59:21That a few men cannot seize power over thousands.
00:59:25That wherever the sun shines, a man shall choose who shall rule over him.
00:59:31The rights of Englishmen, you say, lad.
00:59:33The battles we shall win over the worst in England will benefit the best in England until the end of time.
00:59:39Even as we shoot down British soldiers, we will be winning rights their children shall enjoy forever.
00:59:45And the peoples of the world, the peasants of France and the serfs of Russia,
00:59:49shall see freedom rising like a new sun in the west.
00:59:52For this we fight, those natural rights God has given every man, no matter how humble.
00:59:59How crazy.
01:00:00They say my injury bashed the wits from my head.
01:00:13That's what you think, isn't it, Sammy?
01:00:14Well, certainly not, sir.
01:00:17Perhaps it's true.
01:00:19Some of us will give our wits.
01:00:21Some will give our property.
01:00:23Let those of substance among you think of that.
01:00:27Gold and jewels and fine great houses.
01:00:30Hurts, doesn't it?
01:00:31You, friend Paul, God made you to fashion silver, not to make war.
01:00:40There's a time for casting silver, time for casting cannon.
01:00:43If that isn't in the writ, it should be.
01:00:44And you, Dr. Warren, of what use are the fine mind and the skilled hands of the surgeon
01:00:51when they have been mangled in battle?
01:00:54Then others must do what I no longer can.
01:00:58And you who are so young, some of you must die.
01:01:02To die young is more than dying.
01:01:05It's to lose so large a part of life.
01:01:09You, my old friend, my old enemy, how can I call you?
01:01:15Even you will give the best you have.
01:01:17A genius for politics.
01:01:19And we need you, Sammy.
01:01:21For we must fight this war in meeting house and congress and the halls of parliament,
01:01:26as well as on the field.
01:01:28But what it's all about, you'll really never know.
01:01:31And yet it is so much simpler than any of you think.
01:01:37We give all we have.
01:01:39We fight.
01:01:41We die for a simple thing.
01:01:44Only that a man can stand.
01:01:52You ride as good a hand as ever, don't you, lad?
01:01:53Yes, doctor. Thanks to you.
01:01:57Address this to Mr. Adams and Mr. Hancock at Lexington, if you will.
01:02:01Good morning, Paul.
01:02:03Good morning, doctor.
01:02:04What's afoot?
01:02:05Oh, they're as busy as red ants all over town.
01:02:09No sign of a march yet.
01:02:10The transports in the harbor are sending all their boats way down here, along the common.
01:02:16Now, maybe they intend to row the troops across to Cambridge.
01:02:18Those boats may be a trick.
01:02:20General Gage won't need them if he marches his troops out across the neck.
01:02:24What route do you intend taking with our message when the time comes?
01:02:27I'll go by way of Charleston.
01:02:29I have a boat hidden at Mill Cove.
01:02:31Good.
01:02:32Billy Dawes has volunteered to try to get past the guard post at the neck.
01:02:37One of you should get through.
01:02:39What if they don't?
01:02:41With one messenger they can't stop, Johnny, the Spire of Christ Church.
01:02:45It can be seen from the Charleston shore.
01:02:47Friends there will be watching for the lanterns in the belfry tower when the redcoats march.
01:02:51One if by land, two if by sea.
01:02:54One if by land, two if by sea.
01:02:56Johnny, this may be important.
01:03:05The colonel was making that to do with Caleb over a saddle or something when that orderly came looking for him.
01:03:10All I heard the orderly say was the general's compliments, sir.
01:03:14Come on, let's see if Caleb's heard anything else.
01:03:18Hello, Caleb.
01:03:19That fat-bellied redcoat colonel.
01:03:22What happened?
01:03:22When he told me he wanted his saddle shine, how did I know he only used that one for show around town and he wanted this one for some country riding tonight?
01:03:31Country riding?
01:03:32We'll help you, Caleb, but you've got to remember everything the colonel said.
01:03:35It'd be a lot more help if you get old Sandy out and look him over for me.
01:03:38I've got to have him ready, too.
01:03:40But he's too old for much of a ride.
01:03:42That's what I told the colonel, but he said he'd be better off tonight on a horse that he can trust.
01:03:47Sandy will last out the 17 miles they have to go, all right.
01:03:50Give me that rag, Scylla.
01:03:56I thought you were going to help.
01:04:04It's tonight, all right, that's certain.
01:04:06They're beating to arms in every square.
01:04:08It should be conquered.
01:04:10We have much of our powder there.
01:04:1417 miles.
01:04:17Wait a minute.
01:04:18Johnny.
01:04:19Yes, sir.
01:04:20You've ridden most of the roads for the Observer.
01:04:22Suppose they did use their boats and began their march at Cambridge.
01:04:26How far would it be to Concord then?
01:04:28Make it 17 miles.
01:04:30That's it.
01:04:30Priscilla, do you think you can get through to Mr. Revere's house?
01:04:33Yes, Doctor.
01:04:34Tell him they're marching on Concord.
01:04:35He'll have to leave at once.
01:04:37Yes, sir.
01:04:38And warn him that move the Somerset up off Barton's Point.
01:04:41He'll have to cross under her guns.
01:04:43Yes, sir.
01:04:43Johnny, I want you to go to Mr. Robert Newman, the sexton at Christ's Church.
01:04:47You'll likely find him somewhere about the church.
01:04:50Tell him, too.
01:04:51He'll understand.
01:04:52Yes, sir.
01:04:59You, boy.
01:05:00What are you about?
01:05:01I'm on my way home, sir.
01:05:02Time to get him off till we've gone.
01:05:03We'll be here with the others.
01:05:06After him!
01:05:18Are you Mr. Newman?
01:05:39Yes, lad.
01:05:41Look, the warrant sent me.
01:05:42Down is lane, men.
01:05:50How many lanterns?
01:05:51Two.
01:05:52Two.
01:06:00I saw you two-thirds across and knew it could be no other boat.
01:06:04Not this night, Paul.
01:06:07Thank heavens the watch aboard the Somerset didn't have your eyes, Mr. Larkin.
01:06:10So you brought the horse.
01:06:13How did the redcoats go, Paul?
01:06:14And where?
01:06:16There's your answer.
01:06:18Concord by sea.
01:06:20Thank Mrs. Larkin for the use of the horse.
01:06:22Turn out!
01:06:37Turn out!
01:06:38Turn out your militia!
01:06:44Turn out your militia!
01:06:52Watch all the noise down there!
01:07:01The redcoats are coming!
01:07:22Johnny?
01:07:23Well, it's you.
01:07:25Johnny, where are you going?
01:07:26Lexington.
01:07:27But there may be fighting there.
01:07:28I know.
01:07:29Oh, be reasonable for once, Johnny Tremaine.
01:07:32Why, you don't even have a gun.
01:07:33I'll get one.
01:07:34And if you did, you wouldn't know how to shoot it.
01:07:36Well, I'll learn then.
01:07:38You'll get yourself killed.
01:07:40Not if I can help it.
01:07:41You'll get yourself killed.
01:07:49Goodbye, sir.
01:08:00Halt!
01:08:01Halt!
01:08:01Hold up, sir!
01:08:11How can you eat at a time like this?
01:08:20It was a long night and I'm hungry.
01:08:22Where's Mr. Revere?
01:08:23He went to the Clark house to warn Mr. Adams and Mr. Hancock to clear out.
01:08:28But where are the redcoats?
01:08:30That's what I want to know.
01:08:31Ought to be along any minute.
01:08:33Major Pitcairn, anyway.
01:08:34He's commanding?
01:08:35The advance party, or he was when I passed them.
01:08:38Colonel Smith was back with the main body.
01:08:41What do you suppose the advance party's for?
01:08:43Probably to clear us out of here, so the rest can get on through to Concord.
01:08:50All right, lads.
01:08:51Take your places.
01:08:52Fall in!
01:09:01What are you doing here?
01:09:02Same thing you are.
01:09:03But you haven't even got a musket.
01:09:04That's why I'm standing behind you, so the redcoats won't notice.
01:09:07Turn around.
01:09:11Let every one of you remember your orders.
01:09:20You are not to fire unless fired upon.
01:09:23We stand upon our rights, not upon the force of arms.
01:09:27Do not molest them unless they begin it first.
01:09:30No man will fire except on my order.
01:09:45Is that clear?
01:09:47No man will fire without order.
01:09:50Take care to display column to the left.
01:09:52We stand by our orders, but if they mean to have a war, then let it begin here.
01:10:19It's no fire!
01:10:23Halt!
01:10:25Front!
01:10:26Are they gonna fire on us?
01:10:27I don't think so.
01:10:28Just trying to scare us.
01:10:31To the left, wheel!
01:10:36Halt!
01:10:38Lay down your arms!
01:10:43Disperse, you rebels! Why don't you disperse?
01:10:49Come on!
01:11:07Get back to the ranks!
01:11:09Get back to the ranks!
01:11:11Get back to the ranks!
01:11:13Get back to the ranks!
01:11:15Hold your line! Get back! Hold your line! Get back! Retail your ranks!
01:11:19Retail your ranks! Get in here!
01:11:21Who fired that shot, sir? The first one?
01:11:24One of them. One of us.
01:11:26Someone in one of those houses over there.
01:11:29I don't know. What difference does it make now?
01:11:41It's great!
01:11:43What are you doing?
01:11:44What do you think?
01:11:45Well, I'm sorry.
01:11:46All right.
01:11:47Let's go.
01:12:18Where are we bound?
01:12:37North Bridge. They're tearing it down.
01:12:39Does it mean fighting?
01:12:40Well, we can't let them cut us off from Concord, now can we?
01:12:48We can't let them cut us off from Concord.
01:12:55We can't let them cut us off from Concord.
01:12:58We can't let them cut us off from Concord.
01:13:03We can't let them cut us off from Concord.
01:13:10You'd better get out of this.
01:13:12I'm going to get one of those redcoat muskets.
01:13:14Fire the warning shot.
01:13:18Shoulder, firelock.
01:13:25Take ready.
01:13:29Present.
01:13:38Present.
01:13:46Fire.
01:13:49Fire.
01:13:50Fire.
01:14:00Fire.
01:14:02Fire.
01:14:03Fire.
01:14:04Fire.
01:14:05We got him on the run.
01:14:21Let's keep him running all the way back to Boston.
01:14:35Let's keep him running all the way back.
01:15:05Let's keep him running all the way back.
01:15:35Let's keep him running all the way back.
01:15:51Let's keep him running.
01:16:05Let's keep him running.
01:16:35Let's keep him running.
01:16:51Open up!
01:17:05Let's keep him running.
01:17:35Let's keep him running.
01:18:06History holds no parallel to it, sir.
01:18:09An untrained, undisciplined rabble turning an orderly retreat into a rout in spite of anything we could do.
01:18:13They fired on us from every tree and dung hill the whole way back.
01:18:16But never once did we have an enemy with whom we could close.
01:18:20You see those campfires, gentlemen?
01:18:23Yesterday we ruled over Boston.
01:18:26Tonight we are besieged in it.
01:18:28And still they come from every village and farm.
01:18:31Tonight 10,000.
01:18:33Tomorrow perhaps twice 10,000.
01:18:36We've experienced more than a defeat.
01:18:39More than a mere misfortune of war.
01:18:42We have been vanquished by an idea.
01:18:45A belief in human rights.
01:19:01Next time.
01:19:03Johnny.
01:19:04Johnny!
01:19:13Oh, Johnny.
01:19:14Syl, how'd you get here?
01:19:18Are you badly hurt?
01:19:19Me?
01:19:20Hurt?
01:19:21I'm tired, that's all.
01:19:22Been chasing redcoats all day.
01:19:23And I thought you were.
01:19:24It's all right, Syl.
01:19:26Hey, you too.
01:19:27How did you sell your food for you?
01:19:29What do you mean by God?
01:19:30Hey, you two, give me a hand.
01:19:41Johnny, I'm so glad it's over.
01:19:43Over? Nothing is over.
01:19:47It's only a beginning, a kindling of the flame.
01:19:53Feed it, lads, as you fed it with your blood today.
01:19:57It is the spark of liberty that you've touched a fire.
01:20:02And its light must grow until every dark corner has vanished.
01:20:06And yet it illuminates the world.
01:20:09It's the tall old tree and the strong old tree.
01:20:13And we are the sons, yes, we are the sons.
01:20:18The sons of liberty.
01:20:27We are the sons of liberty.
01:20:33We are the sons of virtue.
01:20:34We are the sons of liberty.
01:20:36Today we are the sons of liberty.
