:32:01
I was clumsy.
:32:03
With women it's hard
not to be sometimes.

:32:16
The rebs are coming!
:32:18
Morgan's Raiders have crossed the Ohio.
1500 horsemen burning and pillaging.

:32:22
They're 30 miles from Vernon.
This time tomorrow they'll be here!

:32:27
No need to shout.
:32:29
- Did thee see their patrols?
- No, but I saw what they've done.

:32:32
Barns burned, houses looted.
Go towards Vernon and see for thyself.

:32:35
Did you see the militia?
:32:36
They want every man who can carry a gun.
They figure to make a stand at Vernon.

:32:41
Papa, our farm is going to be
overrun for sure!

:32:45
That's probably true.
You're on the south side of the river.

:32:49
You better take your family into the
woods tomorrow till the rebs have gone.

:32:58
This is our home.
This is where we'll stay.

:33:01
Mr. Birdwell, the Raiders don't draw
a line between soldiers and civilians.

:33:05
They're the toughest Confederate troops,
and there's no telling what they'll do.

:33:10
If they're going to come they're
going to come, like fire or flood.

:33:13
If it's the Lord's will,
there's nothing we can do.

:33:17
There's something I can do.
:33:27
Have you got an extra gun?
:33:30
Why, sure, Enoch.
:33:34
I hate to cross you like this.
:33:37
Don't seem grateful.
:33:39
You folks have been mighty kind to me.
:33:41
But you see, sir,
a runaway slave like me...

:33:44
...I wouldn't stand a chance
with those men.

:33:46
So if they're going to catch me...
:33:48
...l'm going down fighting.
:33:54
Thee's free.
:33:56
Free to choose.
:33:58
So am I.
