We`re a breath away from losing
this war, Benjamin.
1:03:11
ln the north, Washington is
reeling from Morristown.
1:03:15
He`s running and hiding
from 1 2,000 Redcoats.
1:03:18
ln the south, Cornwallis has
broken our back.
1:03:22
Captured over 5000 of our troops
when he took Charles Town.
1:03:26
And he destroyed the only army
between him and New York.
1:03:32
Nothing will stop him from
heading north to finish off Washington.
1:03:36
Unless we can keep Cornwallis
in the south till the French arrive.
1:03:42
They`ve promised a fleet
and 1 0,000 troops.
1:03:46
When?
1:03:49
Six months at the earliest.
1:03:52
You trust the French
to keep their word?
1:03:55
AbsoIument.
1:03:59
Benjamin Martin.
Major Jean Villeneuve.
1:04:03
French Seventh Light Foot.
He will help train the militia.
1:04:07
The hero of Fort Wilderness.
Your reputation precedes you.
1:04:17
You really expect to hold Cornwallis
here using just militia?
1:04:21
Not me. You.
1:04:27
They`re not soldiers,
they`re farmers.
1:04:30
They`d be better off letting
the British march through.
1:04:33
They`d be better off,
but the cause wouldn`t.
1:04:37
How many men does Cornwallis have?
1:04:40
8000 infantry.
1:04:43
Around 600 cavalry.
1:04:46
l`m giving you a field commission
as a colonel.
1:04:49
Might l request that you transfer
my son under my command?
1:04:53
Sir, no, l--
1:04:55
That`s done.
