48 00:03:55 I want y'all to hold on to some words from Colossians 3:22.
49 00:04:00 "Slaves, honor your earthly masters in everything."
50 00:04:05 "And do it not only when their eyes are on you
51 00:04:09 "and to curry their favor,
52 00:04:11 "but do it
53 00:04:13 "with sincerity of heart
54 00:04:16 and reverence for the Lord."
55 00:04:21 Amen?
56 00:04:22 - Amen. - Amen.
57 00:04:25 Thank you, Reverend Green, for those wise words.
58 00:04:30 You folks enjoy your Sunday.
59 00:04:33 Cook has gravy for your corn pone tonight.
60 00:04:39 - Reverend. - Bless you.
61 00:04:41 You go on now.
62 00:04:43 Stay strong.
63 00:04:45 So long.
64 00:04:48 - I'm coming with you. - Robert, no.
65 00:04:50 - You too hot-headed. - I'm coming.
66 00:04:51 They beat you again, they gonna kill you.
67 00:04:53 - Now you go with Mary. - Mama...
68 00:04:55 - Go, get. - Go on now. Mary, go on.
69 00:04:57 Go on now.
70 00:05:03 Master Brodess,
71 00:05:04 could I get a word?
72 00:05:12 Master Brodess,
73 00:05:13 I think you know Minty's husband John.
74 00:05:16 He work with me over at Thompson Mill.
75 00:05:18 Course I know him.
76 00:05:20 I let him marry her.
77 00:05:22 What's your point?
78 00:05:31 Me and Minty...
79 00:05:34 we thinking about having a family.
80 00:05:36 And...
81 00:05:39 we want our babies born free.
82 00:05:43 So we hired a lawyer that made it clear that...
83 00:05:46 You hired a lawyer.
84 00:05:49 Ben, what the hell is this nigger talking about?
85 00:05:51 Well, sir, well,
86 00:05:53 what we're talking about is
87 00:05:54 the last wishes of your great-granddaddy Atthow Pattison.
88 00:05:59 He gave my wife Rit to your mama as a child,
89 00:06:02 but she's supposed to be freed at 45.
90 00:06:05 She 57 now.
91 00:06:07 Well, you got this will?
92 00:06:10 Got a letter from the lawyer, sir.
93 00:06:12 H-He say it clear.
94 00:06:16 My mama was 46 when you sold my sisters.
95 00:06:19 Lawyer say that illegal.
96 00:06:21 We all supposed to be free when she turn 45.
97 00:06:23 My sisters is lost to us, but John and me... we...
98 00:06:27 we want our babies born free like they supposed to be.
99 00:06:39 Now you listen here, girl.
100 00:06:41 Your daddy may be free and your husband, too,
101 00:06:45 but you and your mama
102 00:06:49 and your brothers and sister...
103 00:06:51 they belong to me... for life.
104 00:06:55 And your babies will belong to me
105 00:06:57 and their babies will belong to me.
106 00:07:01 Do you understand me?
107 00:07:03 You're the devil!
108 00:07:05 You're the devil, Edward Brodess!
109 00:07:09 You sold my daughters south
110 00:07:11 where nobody know their name!
111 00:07:14 Come on now. Come on.
112 00:07:15 - John. - My babies.
113 00:07:17 You and Ben ain't welcome here no more.
114 00:07:20 You stay away from my slaves.
115 00:07:24 Now get the hell off my damn porch.
116 00:07:33 Come on now.
117 00:07:35 Come on.
118 00:07:38 Weren't for you, I would have sold that girl a long time ago.
119 00:07:51 My master an evil man, Lord!
120 00:07:55 You know he evil.
121 00:07:58 If you can't change his soul, take him!
122 00:08:01 Take him, Lord!
123 00:08:03 Strike my master down!
124 00:08:07 Lord don't listen to niggers, Minty.
125 00:08:11 Now, I've been telling you that since we were kids.
126 00:08:14 Since the time I had typhoid as a boy
127 00:08:17 and Mama had you sittin' me.
128 00:08:20 The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes
129 00:08:22 was your little black face praying.
130 00:08:26 Scared the fever right out of me.
131 00:08:31 Now, I got used to your face...
132 00:08:35 but that praying...
133 00:08:37 always made my skin crawl.
134 00:08:43 What the hell were you thinking, hiring a lawyer?
135 00:08:48 You think Daddy would just let you all go free...
136 00:08:51 damn near half his property... just like that?
137 00:08:58 He warned me.
138 00:09:01 "Boy, having a favorite slave is like having a favorite pig.
139 00:09:07 "You can feed it,
140 00:09:09 you can play with it, give it a name..."
141 00:09:17 "One day...
142 00:09:20 "you might have to eat it or sell it.
143 00:09:24 "You know it and the pig knows it.
144 00:09:27 "And if you have to sell it, there's no more guilt
145 00:09:30 "than separating piglets.
146 00:09:33 And if you have to eat it, you'll forget its name."
147 00:09:39 I hope one day I forget yours.
148 00:09:45 Come on home.
149 00:09:50 Come on, I said.

221 00:15:12 What you doing here, John?
222 00:15:19 You got no business here.
223 00:15:21 Just coming to see my wife is all, sir.
224 00:15:26 Sure is hard not being able to see her.
225 00:15:28 Now you better get used to missing her.
226 00:15:32 Get on back to Thompson's.
227 00:15:35 Yes, sir.
228 00:15:39 Giddy! Giddy!
229 00:15:42 What is it?
230 00:15:43 Minty. She gone.
231 00:15:47 Stop right there, nigger.
232 00:15:52 Where is she?
233 00:15:56 - Where is she?! - I told you, sir.
234 00:15:58 I was just coming to see her to kiss her good...
235 00:16:41 I don't want to look at you.
236 00:16:47 Want to say I ain't seen you.
237 00:16:52 But I see your heart.
238 00:16:55 Daddy, they gonna sell me downriver,
239 00:16:58 where no one come back from.
240 00:17:00 I got to run.
241 00:17:08 Lookie here, girl.
242 00:17:10 You go to Reverend Green church.
243 00:17:14 Ask him to pray for your journey.
244 00:17:17 Daddy, Reverend Green always preaching obedience.
245 00:17:19 Do what I say.
246 00:17:21 Go to Reverend Green church.
247 00:17:23 Ask him to pray for your journey.
248 00:17:28 Yes, Daddy.
249 00:17:42 I'll be with you.
250 00:17:57 Go on, now.
251 00:18:18 I love you, Daddy.
252 00:18:40 I love you, too.
253 00:19:06 Who is it?
254 00:19:08 Minty. Ben Ross' daughter.
255 00:19:14 Girl, what you doing out here alone this time of night?
256 00:19:17 You have lost your mind.
257 00:19:19 Come on.
258 00:19:24 My daddy say ask you to pray for my journey.
259 00:19:28 You're the one with the spells.
260 00:19:30 Yes, sir.
261 00:19:32 And you intend to run.
262 00:19:35 They gonna sell me south,
263 00:19:37 away from my husband and family.
264 00:19:39 Which mean they motivated.
265 00:19:47 You money to them.
266 00:19:49 Unless word spread you run off.
267 00:19:52 Then you damaged goods.
268 00:19:53 They'll beat you, hobble you, or worse.
269 00:19:57 Now, you go alone,
270 00:19:59 you got about a hare's chance in a fox grove.
271 00:20:02 Slavers don't get you, then the copperheads
272 00:20:05 or the timber wolves will.
273 00:20:08 Can you even read, child?
274 00:20:14 Maybe nobody noticed you're gone.
275 00:20:15 Maybe you, you sneak back fore daylight.
276 00:20:17 I ain't going back.
277 00:20:19 I want to be free.
278 00:20:30 There's not much time.
279 00:20:31 It's near midnight.
280 00:20:33 You got to be miles away from here fore dawn.
281 00:20:37 Now, I need you to remember what I tell you.
282 00:20:39 - Can you do that? - Yes, sir.
283 00:20:45 Fear...
284 00:20:47 is your enemy.
285 00:20:50 Trust in God.
286 00:20:54 The North Star will guide you.
287 00:20:56 Follow that North Star.
288 00:21:00 If there are no stars, just follow the river.
289 00:21:02 If you can't see the river, listen for it.
290 00:21:08 When the river split,
291 00:21:10 cross the high bridge over the rushing creek
292 00:21:14 and head straight north.
293 00:21:17 After a few days' time,
294 00:21:19 Delaware River be on your right.
295 00:21:21 Follow that to Wilmington.
296 00:21:24 Look for a blacksmith and iron merchant
297 00:21:26 named Thomas Garrett.
298 00:21:29 I'll send him word.
299 00:21:32 May God be with you, child.
300 00:21:34 I ain't seen her, sir.
301 00:21:38 I ain't looked on my daughter's face
302 00:21:40 since Master Brodess run us off.
303 00:21:43 Ben's an honest nigger, Gideon.
304 00:21:44 He says he ain't seen her, he ain't.
305 00:21:48 This one knows something.
306 00:21:51 Caught him sniffing round the cabins when Minty ran off.
307 00:21:55 I told you.
308 00:21:57 I ain't seen her.
309 00:21:59 Nephew! Nephew!
310 00:22:02 This is uncalled for!
311 00:22:04 These men are my respected workers.
312 00:22:06 If your niggers helped my slave escape,
313 00:22:08 I'm holding you responsible.
314 00:22:38 Dogs got a scent!
315 00:22:39 Let's go!
316 00:23:07 Come on!
317 00:23:09 This way!
318 00:23:35 Get on!
319 00:24:07 Minty!
320 00:24:14 Come on back peaceful.
321 00:24:22 Family's worried about you.
322 00:24:24 Your mama's crying.
323 00:24:26 Sister, too.
324 00:24:28 Come on home.
325 00:24:34 Thinking about jumping?
326 00:24:36 Suicide's a sin against God.
327 00:24:40 Against those that own you, too.
328 00:24:59 Easy, now.
329 00:25:03 Easy, now.
330 00:25:06 Now, I've decided not to sell you after all.
331 00:25:10 Fact is, I'd miss you.
332 00:25:12 Now, you been there all my life...
333 00:25:15 like your mama was all my daddy's.
334 00:25:19 Daddy vowed never to sell your mama.
335 00:25:23 And I'm vowing...
336 00:25:25 never to sell you.
337 00:25:28 Now, you can come on back,
338 00:25:31 and I won't hurt you bad.
339 00:25:34 You can stay at home,
340 00:25:35 stay with John,
341 00:25:37 stay with us.
342 00:25:41 Would you like that?
343 00:25:46 I'm gonna be free or die.
344 00:25:51 Goddamn it, Minty!
345 00:28:37 I know you're there.
346 00:28:39 You'd best get out now.
347 00:29:29 Sir?
348 00:29:32 You know a blacksmith around here
349 00:29:34 name of Garrett?
350 00:29:40 Careful, girl.
351 00:29:44 You're half dressed.
352 00:29:45 Look half dead.
353 00:29:47 Anyone with eyes could see what you are.
354 00:29:55 The man you're looking for...
355 00:29:57 is on the corner of 4th and Shipley.
356 00:29:59 No more than half a mile west of here.
357 00:30:03 Thank you, sir.
358 00:30:29 May I help thee, friend?
359 00:30:32 Sir...
360 00:30:34 you know a man named...
361 00:30:36 Reverend Green?
362 00:30:37 Yes, I do.
363 00:31:28 Here we are, friend.
364 00:31:29 Pennsylvania border.
365 00:31:32 Shall I drive thee across
366 00:31:33 or would thee prefer to walk alone into freedom?
367 00:31:37 I walk with the Lord.
368 00:31:40 Philadelphia's 25 miles.
369 00:31:43 Find the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society...
370 00:31:46 and ask for William Still.
371 00:31:50 This is his likeness.
372 00:31:54 So you'll know him when you see him.
373 00:32:00 Until we meet again, God bless thee.
374 00:32:03 God bless you, sir.
375 00:33:23 Please, sir.
376 00:33:25 I looking for the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society.
377 00:33:29 Corner of 5th and Arch Street.
378 00:33:31 About half a mile down.
379 00:33:35 Don't be afraid.
380 00:33:36 There are plenty of us here in Philadelphia.
381 00:33:39 Walk like you got a right to,
382 00:33:41 won't nobody pay you no mind.
383 00:33:48 Thank you.
384 00:34:19 May I help you?
385 00:34:22 Sir,
386 00:34:23 are you Mr. William Still?
387 00:34:27 I am. And you are?
388 00:34:30 White man name of Garrett sent me.
389 00:34:45 All right.
390 00:34:50 Let's start with your full name
391 00:34:51 and where you're from.
392 00:34:58 This book is full of slave histories.
393 00:35:02 I keep a record of most of the slaves
394 00:35:04 that travel through Philadelphia.
395 00:35:06 Some I have to find, most find me.
396 00:35:10 My name is Araminta Ross Tubman.
397 00:35:14 Folk call me Minty.
398 00:35:16 Come from Dorchester County, Maryland.
399 00:35:21 Farm of Edward Brodess.
400 00:35:22 Edward Brodess is your master?
401 00:35:24 Massa Brodess dead.
402 00:35:28 His wife Miss Eliza own me and my family.
403 00:35:30 Not you.
404 00:35:33 Not anymore.
405 00:35:38 So where are the others?
406 00:35:39 Weren't no others.
407 00:35:43 Well, y-you know, you can trust me.
408 00:35:45 I'm... I'm a friend.
409 00:35:47 Who, who'd you make the journey with?
410 00:35:50 I left my husband and family.
411 00:35:53 It was just me and the Lord.
412 00:35:57 Well, I don't know if you know how extraordinary this is, but...
413 00:36:01 by some miraculous means,
414 00:36:02 you have made it 100 miles to freedom...
415 00:36:06 all by yourself.
416 00:36:11 Would you like to pick a new name
417 00:36:14 to mark your freedom?
418 00:36:15 Most ex-slaves do.
419 00:36:16 Any name you want.
420 00:36:22 They call my mama Rit,
421 00:36:25 but her name Harriet.
422 00:36:29 I want my mama name and my husband.
423 00:36:35 Harriet Tubman.
424 00:36:41 Harriet Tubman.
425 00:36:45 Did your master ever harm you physically?
426 00:36:47 Do you have wounds or scars from beatings?
427 00:36:52 Overseer cracked my head open
428 00:36:55 when I was about 13.
429 00:36:58 I was at the stove
430 00:36:59 with Massa's son Gideon.
431 00:37:02 Big brother Robert
432 00:37:04 snuck off and followed us.
433 00:37:06 Didn't trust Massa Gideon alone with me.
434 00:37:09 Few minutes later, overseer bust in
435 00:37:11 looking for Robert, mad as a rabid hound.
436 00:37:15 Picked up a weight off a counter
437 00:37:17 and hurled it at him, except I stepped between 'em.
438 00:37:21 Cracked my skull right open.
439 00:37:26 They say I slept most of two months.
440 00:37:30 Next thing I remember was seeing my sisters sold.
441 00:37:46 Except I saw it before it happened.
442 00:37:49 What'd you, uh...?
443 00:37:52 What do you mean you saw it before it happened?
444 00:37:54 Well, God showed me...
445 00:37:58 to prepare me, I guess.
446 00:38:01 But when it happened,
447 00:38:04 it hurt so bad,
448 00:38:08 worse than any beating,
449 00:38:11 worse than the hole in my head.
450 00:38:16 Hole in my head just...
451 00:38:18 made God's voice more clear.
452 00:38:39 Morning.
453 00:38:41 Almost there.
454 00:38:44 Morning.
455 00:39:03 Mr. Still.
456 00:39:05 Good afternoon.
457 00:39:06 Miss Buchanon, good afternoon.
458 00:39:09 Allow me to introduce you
459 00:39:10 to Miss Harriet Tubman, a new arrival.
460 00:39:11 Harriet, this is Marie Buchanon.
461 00:39:14 She's a friend and the owner of this establishment.
462 00:39:18 Pleasure to meet you, Harriet.
463 00:39:20 Ma'am.
464 00:39:23 Well, I will leave her
465 00:39:25 in your very capable hands, Marie.
466 00:39:28 Ladies, good afternoon.
467 00:39:33 Come on in.
468 00:39:34 Come on.
469 00:39:38 The public rooms are on this floor.
470 00:39:41 This is the game room.
471 00:39:44 Say hello.
472 00:39:46 - Hello. - Hello.
473 00:39:47 And this is the parlor.
474 00:39:50 You are welcome here any time.
475 00:39:55 Yes, I'm a woman, yes, I'm Negro,
476 00:39:57 and yes, I own this place.
477 00:40:00 My mama was freed after her master died.
478 00:40:02 She was pregnant with me
479 00:40:03 and I was born and raised free,
480 00:40:06 right here in Philadelphia.
481 00:40:08 You can take the last room upstairs on the left.
482 00:40:11 And supper has already been served,
483 00:40:13 but I'll make you a plate.
484 00:40:15 But first you've got to take a bath.
485 00:40:18 You're stinking like an old barnyard animal.
486 00:40:22 There's a washtub in the kitchen.
487 00:40:24 I'll put some water on for you.
488 00:40:26 You was born free?
489 00:40:28 Yes.
490 00:40:30 Guess you never had the stink of fear.
491 00:40:33 Of running for your life.
492 00:40:37 I have not, Harriet.
493 00:40:39 I apologize.
494 00:40:49 Gonna go warm your stew.
495 00:40:50 If you need anything, just let me know.
496 00:41:26 So, you got a man?
497 00:41:31 My husband John.
498 00:41:33 He free like you.
499 00:41:37 He was gonna run with me, but...
500 00:41:40 I was scared if we get caught,
501 00:41:42 they'd take his freedom.
502 00:41:48 So I left him.
503 00:41:50 But I wish he was here with me now.
504 00:41:53 Must've been hard on him when he,
505 00:41:55 when he found me gone.
506 00:41:58 The boatmen, they call them the black jacks,
507 00:42:01 they travel up and down the Delaware
508 00:42:02 and Chesapeake Bay.
509 00:42:04 Maybe they can get word to him that you made it.
510 00:42:08 Thank you, ma'am.
511 00:42:10 Call me Marie.
512 00:42:12 You wash up good 'cause tomorrow
513 00:42:15 we're gonna get you a paying job.
514 00:42:24 Slow down, Harriet.
515 00:42:26 They don't pay us by the bushel.
516 00:42:53 - Hello, Miss Harriet. - Jasper.
517 00:42:55 - Any word from my family? - Yes, ma'am.
518 00:42:57 Brought some lumber from the Eastern Shore.
519 00:43:00 Your husband and family know you're safe.
520 00:43:03 My husband.
521 00:43:05 He send word back?
522 00:43:06 No, ma'am.
523 00:43:08 No word.
524 00:43:10 Thank you.
525 00:43:14 It's not bad.
526 00:43:16 I know Mr. Beechem over on pine.
527 00:43:18 I want you to take this around to him this afternoon.
528 00:43:21 Harriet, how are you?
529 00:43:22 I need your angels to help me get my husband and family.
530 00:43:30 Well, Harriet, that's-that's not how this works.
531 00:43:32 My angels are part of a sophisticated network,
532 00:43:35 not for your personal use.
533 00:43:36 Now, trust we're doing what we can
534 00:43:38 - for who we can. - But I feel something wrong, William.
535 00:43:40 I can't sleep. Please help me.
536 00:43:42 Listen, Harriet, uh...
537 00:43:45 Our work has gotten a lot more dangerous.
538 00:43:48 Slave owners are getting frustrated
539 00:43:51 with the amount of runaways.
540 00:43:52 Federal judges, marshals
541 00:43:54 and slave catchers are working together.
542 00:43:55 Even Congress is threatening
543 00:43:57 to pass laws to appease the South.
544 00:43:59 If you won't help me, I'll go myself.
545 00:44:01 Harriet, wait a second.
546 00:44:02 Wait a second, wait a second.
547 00:44:08 Harriet, I can't have you risking your life
548 00:44:10 or this network because you're lonely.
549 00:44:13 Rescuing slaves requires skill
550 00:44:15 and careful planning.
551 00:44:19 It requires reading, Harriet.
552 00:44:22 Can you read a sign or a map? Can you read at all?
553 00:44:25 I put my attention on trying
554 00:44:26 to hear God's voice more clearly.
555 00:44:28 Do you know what would happen if you got caught?
556 00:44:30 They would torture you until you pointed them
557 00:44:31 right to this office.
558 00:44:33 You got lucky, Harriet.
559 00:44:36 And there's nothing more you can do.
560 00:44:37 Don't you tell me what I can't do.
561 00:44:41 I made it this far on my own.
562 00:44:43 God was watching, but my feet was my own.
563 00:44:46 Running, bleeding, climbing,
564 00:44:48 nearly drowned, nothing to eat for days and days,
565 00:44:50 but I made it.
566 00:44:53 So don't you tell me what I can't do.
567 00:44:56 You don't know me.
568 00:45:03 I made up my mind... I'm going back.
569 00:45:05 Without my husband and my family,
570 00:45:06 I'm just a stranger in a strange land.
571 00:45:09 If I'm free, they should be, too.
572 00:45:12 I'm gonna go get 'em,
573 00:45:14 one by one, starting with my husband.
574 00:45:16 I... I need a suit for him and a dress for me
575 00:45:18 so I can look like a free lady.
576 00:45:22 Marie.
577 00:45:23 Will you help me?
578 00:45:33 How do you do?
579 00:45:41 How do you do?
580 00:45:42 Good.
581 00:45:43 You were confident, composed,
582 00:45:46 wise enough to know not to look
583 00:45:48 a strange white man in the eyes.
584 00:45:50 You don't want no trouble.
585 00:46:00 But if trouble comes...
586 00:46:06 you'll be ready.
587 00:46:10 Try it.
588 00:46:13 Yeah.
589 00:46:14 You'll be ready.
590 00:46:19 I'll put you in touch with a man
591 00:46:20 who will sell you free papers.
592 00:46:22 They won't be yours, they're someone else's.
593 00:46:25 May not match your description exactly,
594 00:46:27 but they'll get something right.
595 00:46:29 Station is Dover, Delaware.
596 00:46:31 Dover, Delaware.
597 00:46:32 Hopefully, they won't read 'em too close.
598 00:46:35 They're more worried about Negroes heading north.
599 00:46:38 Runaways don't go south.
600 00:46:59 Hello, sir. How do you do?
601 00:47:01 Papers.
602 00:47:14 - Dessa Dixon? - Yes, sir.
603 00:47:17 Where were you born, Dessa?
604 00:47:18 Philadelphia.
605 00:47:20 July 18, 1824, of free issue.
606 00:47:27 Says here you're five and a half feet tall.
607 00:47:30 You ain't more than five feet.
608 00:47:36 Must've worn my high boots that day.
609 00:47:42 Says you got a birthmark on your forehead.
610 00:47:44 That's correct, sir.
611 00:47:57 Thank you, sir.
612 00:48:10 Come on, now!
613 00:48:12 Straighten those rows.
614 00:48:15 Dear Mr. Thompson.
615 00:48:17 No. Dear brother-in-law,
616 00:48:20 I hope you will accept this modest payment
617 00:48:22 on the debt owed you by my departed...
618 00:48:27 my dearly departed... Edward.
619 00:48:31 Please accept the enclosed $7.50.
620 00:48:35 I hope to make another payment next month.
621 00:48:37 Your neighbor and sister-in-law,
622 00:48:39 Eliza Brodess.
623 00:48:43 We're gonna have to sell some slaves, Mama.
624 00:48:46 Our stature in this community is measured in Negroes.
625 00:48:51 We can't live like paupers.
626 00:48:53 Would you prefer to keep the slaves and sell the farm?
627 00:49:01 We can sell the Ross brothers.
628 00:49:04 I mean, Robert alone is worth $600 or $700.
629 00:49:08 If we sell Junyah and Henry, too,
630 00:49:09 we can bring home maybe $1,600.
631 00:49:12 That will go a ways to paying off Daddy's debts.
632 00:49:15 You won't have to beg.
633 00:49:17 We can go on as we have.
634 00:49:20 With you unmarried and sleeping in brothels?
635 00:49:24 We'll go on as we have.
636 00:49:27 The others will just have to work harder
637 00:49:29 to make up for the loss.
638 00:49:38 Negroes for sale.
639 00:49:44 All right, now.
640 00:49:46 Yes, sir.
641 00:50:01 ♪ I'm sorry I had to leave you ♪
642 00:50:17 Minty?
643 00:50:32 Johnny.
644 00:50:34 Johnny, what they done to you?
645 00:50:37 One good eye is all I need to see you, girl.
646 00:50:44 You look good, Minty.
647 00:50:46 You look good.
648 00:50:49 Why you back here?
649 00:50:51 It ain't safe.
650 00:50:53 I come to get you,
651 00:50:55 bring you to freedom.
652 00:50:57 I got you a suit.
653 00:50:59 I've been living free in Philadelphia,
654 00:51:00 but I can't live without you.
655 00:51:04 Ain't you happy to see me?
656 00:51:08 I heard you were drowned, Minty.
657 00:51:12 Never thought I'd see you again.
658 00:51:15 I sent you word.
659 00:51:17 By the black jacks.
660 00:51:18 Time I heard you alive...
661 00:51:24 Mint...
662 00:51:28 I'm married.
663 00:51:30 I know you're married.
664 00:51:32 You're married to me.
665 00:51:35 I took another wife.
666 00:51:42 Took another wife?
667 00:51:45 Her name Caroline.
668 00:51:49 She free like me.
669 00:51:54 She carrying our child.
670 00:52:01 Another...
671 00:52:02 another woman
672 00:52:04 carrying your child?
673 00:52:09 I thought you...
674 00:52:11 I thought you loved me.
675 00:52:12 - I lo... - No.
676 00:52:15 Don't. Don't.
677 00:52:17 - Hey, hey. Hey. - No.
678 00:52:18 Hey, hey, hey, hey.
679 00:52:22 I love you like...
680 00:52:24 I ain't loved nobody.
681 00:52:26 Not my own kin.
682 00:52:32 You left me, Minty.
683 00:52:36 You left me.
684 00:52:39 You went alone and left me.
685 00:52:41 And I prayed for you.
686 00:52:44 Gideon whipped the sight out of my eye.
687 00:52:48 And I prayed for you.
688 00:52:51 When I heard you jumped off that bridge
689 00:52:54 and I thought you were cold and dead,
690 00:52:55 caught in the river weeds like some animal...
691 00:53:00 I prayed for you.
692 00:53:03 You took another wife.
693 00:53:10 Go on, then.
694 00:53:13 Go on home.
695 00:53:16 Minty, you're not safe here.
696 00:53:19 You got to leave now.
697 00:53:21 Go on home!
698 00:53:31 I love you, Minty.
699 00:53:36 I love you.
700 00:53:41 I would've died for you.
701 00:53:42 Stop.
702 00:53:47 If you'd've let me.
703 00:54:18 Why, Lord?
704 00:54:22 I listen for your voice.
705 00:54:25 You told me to come, I came.
706 00:54:31 You-you led me here.
707 00:54:34 Why bring me all this way and rub mud in my face?
708 00:54:41 Why you let me live?
709 00:55:10 Minty.
710 00:55:13 Minty.
711 00:55:15 John told me you were here.

738 00:56:39 She be good,
739 00:56:41 I promise.
740 00:56:42 Your sister Rachel stole Miss Eliza's laudanum,
741 00:56:44 to keep her quiet.
742 00:56:45 Where is Rachel?
743 00:56:48 Where my sister?
744 00:56:49 Rachel too scared to run, Minty.
745 00:56:51 She say Miss Eliza got a hawk eye on her.
746 00:56:53 And Mama?
747 00:56:54 Rit, she with me.
748 00:56:57 Miss Eliza let me buy her freedom.
749 00:56:58 She hadn't much use for her.
750 00:57:00 Rit ain't been right since she heard you done drownt.
751 00:57:04 I'll look after your mama.
752 00:57:05 Don't you worry about us, now.
753 00:57:11 All right. I only planned for one more,
754 00:57:13 not all of you and a baby, too.
755 00:57:15 It's late.
756 00:57:16 Y'all got to get going.
757 00:57:17 I'll send Robert on.
758 00:57:18 Go on, now.
759 00:57:21 Robert.
760 00:57:22 Thank God.
761 00:57:24 Minty.
762 00:57:30 How's Mary?
763 00:57:32 We got ourselves a baby girl.
764 00:57:34 I set her on her mama's breast,
765 00:57:36 and I kissed her goodbye.
766 00:57:39 You had to leave 'em,
767 00:57:41 free or in chains.
768 00:57:43 You chose freedom.
769 00:57:53 You come for John.
770 00:57:56 I thought I come for him.
771 00:57:59 I see now I come for all of you.
772 00:58:05 Ain't but a few hours of dark left now.
773 00:58:07 If y'all going, y'all needs to get.
774 00:58:09 Get going.
775 00:58:19 You follow your sister.
776 00:58:21 - I love you, Daddy. - Go ahead now.
777 00:58:27 I'll be with you.
778 00:58:32 Daddy, come with us.
779 00:58:34 Me and your mama will be just fine.
780 00:58:37 I ain't going nowhere till all my children free.
781 00:58:50 Go on, now, get.
782 00:58:52 Go on.
783 00:58:58 I ain't seen none of you.
784 00:59:30 Minty,
785 00:59:31 I don't like this.
786 00:59:33 Reverend say there a special place in hell for runaways.
787 00:59:36 I don't trust him.
788 00:59:37 You trust me?
789 00:59:44 - Yeah. - Yeah.
790 01:00:01 Girl, it's good to see you.
791 01:00:06 Heard you'd come back.
792 01:00:08 Almost didn't believe it.
793 01:00:26 You, lift this for me.
794 01:00:29 You'll wait out the day down there.
795 01:00:40 Word spread.
796 01:00:42 Oh! Find them, goddamn it!
797 01:00:46 Ma, what is it?
798 01:00:47 We had five slaves run off.
799 01:00:49 Five slaves.
800 01:00:50 Over $2,000.
801 01:00:52 The whole farm ain't worth but $5,000.
802 01:00:54 We got a rat in our pantry,
803 01:00:56 and it will starve us if we don't trap it and kill it!
804 01:00:59 Rachel!
805 01:01:01 Yes'm.
806 01:01:03 Don't you "Yes'm" Me, you black bitch.
807 01:01:04 Your brothers run off.
808 01:01:09 What's your part in this, girl?
809 01:01:10 I don't know nothing, I swear.
810 01:01:12 I don't even know what you saying. Who run off?
811 01:01:17 I will snap your neck.
812 01:01:19 I don't know nothing, I swear.
813 01:01:50 Foxx, take these two pickaninnies to market, and sell 'em.
814 01:01:53 Yes, sir.
815 01:01:54 No. 'Twas Minty.
816 01:01:55 It's Minty.
817 01:01:58 Liar.
818 01:02:01 Minty's dead.
819 01:02:03 Sh-She alive.
820 01:02:04 She come back.
821 01:02:06 Niggers' tales.
822 01:02:08 Like haints in the marsh. She lying.
823 01:02:11 I hope it's true.
824 01:02:16 Good Lord, I hope it is.
825 01:02:21 Foxx, round up some men and meet me out at Poplar Neck.
826 01:02:25 I'll deal with you when I get back.
827 01:02:36 The hell is wrong with you, boy?
828 01:02:38 Out of my way.
829 01:02:39 You looking for some runaways, sir?
830 01:02:43 What do you know about it?
831 01:02:45 This here your notice, right?
832 01:02:47 Runaway slave.
833 01:02:48 Short, strong,
834 01:02:51 a dent in her head.
835 01:03:03 Where'd you see her?
836 01:03:05 Take you there for a dollar.
837 01:03:06 Now, I'm a tracker.
838 01:03:07 I know which way they headed,
839 01:03:09 and I can help you find 'em.
840 01:03:10 A tracker, you say?
841 01:03:11 That and lots more.
842 01:03:13 Got skills right down the alphabet,
843 01:03:14 till you get to "scout" and "tracker."
844 01:03:16 Work for wages, though.
845 01:03:17 Ain't no slave.
846 01:03:20 Well, how 'bout you tell me which way they headed
847 01:03:22 or I shoot the nose off your face?
848 01:03:24 East from Poplar Neck.
849 01:03:35 Now, I know Bigger Long!
850 01:03:39 Best slave catcher round here.
851 01:03:41 But hard to get.
852 01:03:43 Ill-tempered and expensive.
853 01:03:46 You know Bigger Long?
854 01:03:47 We practically kin.
855 01:03:48 Hangs out in places you wouldn't be seen, sir.
856 01:03:52 But I know where to find him.
857 01:03:54 Now, you find Bigger Long,
858 01:03:55 you tell him to meet me out at Poplar Neck,
859 01:03:58 and there'll be something in it for you.
860 01:04:34 Last night
861 01:04:37 five of my best slaves run off.
862 01:04:40 That's three bucks and a female, with foal.
863 01:04:45 And I will pay $300
864 01:04:49 for their return,
865 01:04:52 alive...
866 01:04:55 and unharmed.
867 01:04:58 And I want the girl that's leading 'em, too.
868 01:05:02 I don't want no harm to come to her by nobody's hands but mine.
869 01:05:09 I get $200.
870 01:05:12 They can split the rest.
871 01:05:14 $200?
872 01:05:18 What's an ugly bastard like you gonna buy with $200?
873 01:05:21 Enough white whores to last me till Lent.
874 01:05:48 Well, then you better be as good as they say.
875 01:06:35 Good boy.
876 01:06:43 They coming right to us.
877 01:06:44 Bigger's driving them from behind.
878 01:06:47 Other two gots the roads covered.
879 01:06:49 Ain't no place to go but right here.
880 01:06:50 Well, we'll be waiting for 'em.
881 01:06:52 Don't let 'em out of sight.
882 01:07:38 What's wrong with her?
883 01:07:40 She praying. Minty peculiar that way.
884 01:07:42 What we supposed to do, wait?
885 01:07:44 She our leader.
886 01:07:45 - Get her up. - Don't touch her.
887 01:07:48 - She talking to God. - They coming.
888 01:07:51 We got to go.
889 01:07:56 We can't go this way.
890 01:07:58 There's danger.
891 01:07:59 God say which way we can go?

916 01:09:22 Come on!
917 01:09:25 Come on.
918 01:09:53 Oh, my God.
919 01:10:09 Heavenly Father.
920 01:10:13 Rivers of living water
921 01:10:16 flow through me.
922 01:10:20 Lord, help me cross.
923 01:10:23 Lead me through.
924 01:11:29 What happened?
925 01:11:31 I lost them.
926 01:11:33 Lost them?
927 01:11:34 They disappeared in the fog first...
928 01:11:46 You fucked up, nigger.
929 01:12:04 Oh, God.
930 01:12:29 Minty, I...
931 01:12:29 That baby girl Araminta...
932 01:12:32 you call her Minty.
933 01:12:35 You call me Harriet from now on.
934 01:12:38 That's my freedom name.
935 01:12:42 I'm Harriet Tubman,
936 01:12:45 leader of this group.
937 01:12:48 We do what I say.
938 01:13:00 Oh, excellent.
939 01:13:02 What I really...
940 01:13:06 Harriet.
941 01:13:11 - Are-are these...? - My friends and family.
942 01:13:15 Freedom-seeking slaves.
943 01:13:17 I went down south and brought 'em back.
944 01:13:20 God showed me the way.
945 01:13:35 His wife is a free woman.
946 01:13:39 Big with his child.
947 01:13:42 John didn't want my babies.
948 01:13:44 Couldn't bear the thought of 'em growing up...
949 01:13:47 being slaves.
950 01:13:50 Harriet,
951 01:13:53 you are so far beyond
952 01:13:55 any man I have ever met.
953 01:13:58 So far beyond.
954 01:14:01 What's a man to a woman touched by God?
955 01:14:05 You making fun of me, Marie?
956 01:14:07 No, not whatsoever.
957 01:14:10 But I do have questions.
958 01:14:12 You say that God's voice guides you.
959 01:14:15 What's that like?
960 01:14:21 Sometime it sting.
961 01:14:24 Like a smack in the face.
962 01:14:28 Other time it's soft.
963 01:14:30 Like a dream.
964 01:14:33 Fly off soon as you woke.
965 01:14:39 Seem like I learned to see and hear God
966 01:14:44 like some learn to read a book.
967 01:14:52 I put all my attention on it.
968 01:14:56 Act without question.
969 01:15:01 Fore I can wonder...
970 01:15:05 if I even heard it at all.
971 01:15:08 Fore I can understand what it mean.
972 01:15:17 I thought God...
973 01:15:20 wanted me to go get my husband.
974 01:15:25 John was just a way to steer me to where I was needed.
975 01:15:35 There I was with a suit
976 01:15:37 and no husband.
977 01:15:39 I felt a fool.
978 01:15:40 He's the fool.
979 01:15:42 God have other plans for me, Mr. Still.
980 01:15:45 I'm beginning to understand that.
981 01:15:47 Which is why I'm bringing you here.
982 01:15:50 Evening, Martin.
983 01:15:51 Evening, Mr. Still.
984 01:16:09 Who are these people?
985 01:16:12 This is the Committee.
986 01:16:13 The organizers and officers of the Underground Railroad,
987 01:16:16 dedicated to helping slaves escape bondage.
988 01:16:19 No one sees this.
989 01:16:23 Only the initiated.
990 01:16:45 Ladies and gentlemen.
991 01:16:49 May I present to you a most extraordinary woman,
992 01:16:52 Mrs. Harriet Tubman.
993 01:16:55 Harriet escaped from slavery herself only a year ago,
994 01:16:58 and she's already gone back to liberate others.
995 01:17:01 She brought back nine souls, lost none.
996 01:17:05 In recognition of her bravery and skill,
997 01:17:08 we welcome her to the Committee
998 01:17:10 as a conductor on the Railroad.
999 01:17:21 What's a conductor?
1000 01:17:22 A conductor accompanies slaves or passengers
1001 01:17:26 to safe houses or stations run by stationmasters.
1002 01:17:30 ♪ Go down, Moses ♪
1003 01:17:34 ♪ Way down in Egypt land... ♪
1004 01:17:37 The bravest conductors steal slaves
1005 01:17:39 directly from the plantation,
1006 01:17:41 right under the overseer's nose.
1007 01:17:43 ♪ Let my people go ♪
1008 01:17:45 They have the hardest jobs.
1009 01:19:30 Massa's wife branded me
1010 01:19:33 with a hot iron.
1011 01:19:35 Called me "Nigger" Like it was my name.
1012 01:19:38 The day I reminded him my name is Mack...
1013 01:19:42 he beat me senseless.
1014 01:19:43 If I told her I was leaving,
1015 01:19:45 she would've carried on
1016 01:19:46 so everybody would've knowed about it.
1017 01:19:48 I couldn't say goodbye.
1018 01:19:57 Welcome. Welcome, welcome.
1019 01:20:02 My sister's in danger. You told me you could rescue her.
1020 01:20:04 I told you I'd try, and we have.
1021 01:20:06 She works in the Brodess house. She's been impossible to reach.
1022 01:20:08 - I can reach her. - No!
1023 01:20:10 It's-it's reckless to try something like that right now. I forbid it.
1024 01:20:13 You forbid it?
1025 01:20:18 Harriet, these are dangerous times.
1026 01:20:20 Everybody everywhere is looking for you.
1027 01:20:23 They looking for Moses.
1028 01:20:27 I'm going back.
1029 01:20:46 Rachel, get me my medicine and come upstairs.
1030 01:20:48 - I have a headache. - Yes'm.
1031 01:20:49 - And get me another brandy. - Yes'm.
1032 01:20:52 - And clean up this place. - Yes'm.
1033 01:21:24 Mint.
1034 01:21:26 Minty, why you here?
1035 01:21:27 Come with me.
1036 01:21:29 Minty, Massa Gideon and Miss Eliza been full
1037 01:21:31 of the devil since you and the boys ran off.
1038 01:21:33 They took my babies, won't tell me where they be.
1039 01:21:36 They know I won't go nowhere without my children.
1040 01:21:38 We'll find 'em, Rachel, I promise.
1041 01:21:39 My network will find 'em and bring 'em up north,
1042 01:21:41 - but you got to come with me now. - No.
1043 01:21:43 I can't. I won't.
1044 01:21:45 Rachel!
1045 01:21:47 I ain't leaving you.
1046 01:21:52 I ain't leaving my babies.
1047 01:21:55 You try and force me, I'll scream.
1048 01:21:58 Rachel, where are you?!
1049 01:21:59 Get in here!
1050 01:22:02 Wait, wait.
1051 01:22:06 Wh-What about Mary,
1052 01:22:07 Robert's wife? She still here?
1053 01:22:10 She found another man, Minty.
1054 01:22:15 Don't judge her, Minty.
1055 01:22:17 Don't you dare judge us.
1056 01:22:19 We do what we got to to stay sane.
1057 01:22:22 Can't everybody run.
1058 01:22:33 Lord.
1059 01:22:36 I need you to watch over my sister
1060 01:22:38 and her children till I can bring 'em to freedom.
1061 01:22:42 Protect her, Lord.
1062 01:22:44 Don't let 'em hurt her worse.
1063 01:22:57 You the one they call Moses.
1064 01:22:58 You asking me or you telling me?
1065 01:23:00 I want to offer my services.
1066 01:23:01 What services they be?
1067 01:23:03 Well, I can do most any job, A to Z.
1068 01:23:06 Know the woods, the rivers around here,
1069 01:23:08 most folks in 'em.
1070 01:23:10 Name's Walter.
1071 01:23:11 Why should I trust you, Walter?
1072 01:23:12 Most folks definitely should not.
1073 01:23:15 But I figured,
1074 01:23:17 since you talk to God...
1075 01:23:20 and it seem like he talk back,
1076 01:23:23 maybe you could introduce us.
1077 01:23:27 I got some explaining to do.
1078 01:23:29 Right now we got to go.
1079 01:23:47 Stop them!
1080 01:24:02 What's going to be done about Moses?
1081 01:24:04 This fiend is threatening our very existence.
1082 01:24:07 They say he's as black as the night.
1083 01:24:09 He's one of those white abolitionists in blackface!
1084 01:24:12 Congress must pass the Fugitive Slave Act now!
1085 01:24:17 It's time to act!
1086 01:24:28 Do you have news?
1087 01:24:29 A slave out at Vern's farm heard a rumor.
1088 01:24:32 Said that slave that led your slaves off,
1089 01:24:35 the one y'all been looking so hard for...
1090 01:24:39 is the one they call Moses.
1091 01:24:42 No, Moses ain't a nigger.
1092 01:24:44 And he ain't no woman.
1093 01:24:46 Now, he's an abolitionist in blackface.
1094 01:24:49 Or maybe,
1095 01:24:50 maybe she a little ol' thing about yea high,
1096 01:24:54 called Harriet Tubman.
1097 01:24:57 I don't know no nigger named Harriet Tubman.
1098 01:25:00 What about Araminta Ross?
1099 01:25:11 Well, I hear she hiding out in Philadelphia.
1100 01:25:19 This boat going north?
1101 01:25:20 It's going back to Baltimore.
1102 01:25:22 Wait, what's got everybody so riled up?
1103 01:25:24 They passed the Fugitive Slave Act.
1104 01:25:26 Save yourself.
1105 01:25:29 We got to head north now.
1106 01:25:30 - Not without my brothers. - Harriet.
1107 01:25:32 Wait. Wait for me.
1108 01:25:35 I'll be back.
1109 01:25:39 Bring 'em on.
1110 01:25:40 We're going north!
1111 01:25:43 Listen to me, fugitives beware.
1112 01:25:46 There are slave hunters in our midst.
1113 01:25:48 Congress has passed the Fugitive Slave Act,
1114 01:25:50 which allows slave hunters to pursue slaves
1115 01:25:53 in any state in the Union,
1116 01:25:55 and obliges law enforcement to turn over fugitives.
1117 01:25:58 Now, you fought to get here, prepare to fight again
1118 01:26:01 or flee even further north to Canada.
1119 01:26:07 William! William!
1120 01:26:09 Harriet, thank God.
1121 01:26:11 I sent five men looking for you.
1122 01:26:12 Look, we have to get you on a train north.
1123 01:26:14 I put your family on the last train with Douglass.
1124 01:26:17 He'll see they get safely
1125 01:26:18 - to the border, all right? - Thank you.
1126 01:26:19 I'll stay and fight as long as my family's safe.
1127 01:26:20 No, no, no. For the sake of the entire network,
1128 01:26:22 we have to get you out.
1129 01:26:24 Okay. I'll be at the dock in 15 minutes.
1130 01:26:26 I have to say goodbye to Marie.
1131 01:26:28 - Hurry. - Okay.
1132 01:26:33 Leave him be!
1133 01:26:35 Let him go now!
1134 01:26:36 This is a free man.
1135 01:26:38 He has the papers to prove it.
1136 01:26:39 Come on, now.
1137 01:26:43 There he go.
1138 01:26:43 Right over there.
1139 01:26:47 You need to get your hands off of me!
1140 01:26:51 Don't you touch me!
1141 01:26:52 Where is she?
1142 01:26:54 You missed her.
1143 01:26:57 Tell us where she is.
1144 01:26:58 I told you, God's got plans for her.
1145 01:27:01 - What plans are those? - Wouldn't you like to know, cracker?
1146 01:27:08 But she's...
1147 01:27:09 she's got to live long enough to do God's will.
1148 01:27:13 She knows that.
1149 01:27:14 She's smarter than you.
1150 01:27:16 She's smarter than you. She's smarter than you!
1151 01:27:19 Let me go!
1152 01:27:20 Let me go! You...
1153 01:27:24 She's not here.
1154 01:27:28 Let's go.
1155 01:27:36 What you waiting on, traitor?
1156 01:27:39 Massa hollered, you better jump.
1157 01:28:41 No more! We filled up!
1158 01:28:42 Do not run!
1159 01:28:44 In the name of God, you have the right to be free!
1160 01:28:49 Stay and fight.
1161 01:28:51 God is on your side.
1162 01:28:53 Minty! Don't you move!
1163 01:28:56 Harriet!
1164 01:29:04 Marie...
1165 01:29:06 they killed her.
1166 01:29:10 You got to get on the boat now, come on.
1167 01:29:14 Make sure she's safe.
1168 01:29:51 It's all right.
1169 01:29:54 You're safe now.
1170 01:30:44 Dear Harriet and family,
1171 01:30:47 it breaks my heart to write you with such sad news.
1172 01:30:52 Your sister Rachel
1173 01:30:54 has gone to meet that good friend of the slave,
1174 01:30:58 the angel of death.
1175 01:31:00 I'm content that she has found peace at last.
1176 01:31:04 I pray for her children.
1177 01:31:07 Yours with affection and sorrow,
1178 01:31:10 Reverend Samuel Green.
1179 01:31:17 Harriet.
1180 01:31:22 So sorry to hear about your sister.
1181 01:31:25 I failed her, William.
1182 01:31:28 We failed her.
1183 01:31:32 Harriet, this is, uh, Senator William Seward.
1184 01:31:35 Miss Tubman.
1185 01:31:37 It's an honor to welcome you to my home.
1186 01:31:40 My condolences.
1187 01:31:43 How can I help?
1188 01:31:50 500 miles.
1189 01:31:52 500 miles from the Mason-Dixon Line to Canada.
1190 01:31:57 An unimaginable distance.
1191 01:31:58 Slave catchers are monitoring all northbound travel.
1192 01:32:02 God help the man without free papers.
1193 01:32:04 How are we gonna get our passengers
1194 01:32:05 from the southern farms and plantations
1195 01:32:07 all the way to the border of Canada?
1196 01:32:09 We can't keep trying to outrun them; we have to fight.
1197 01:32:12 The only way to make the Fugitive Slave Law a dead letter
1198 01:32:15 is to make half a dozen or more dead slave catchers.
1199 01:32:18 That will cool their ardor.
1200 01:32:20 He may be right.
1201 01:32:22 Civil war might be our only hope.
1202 01:32:25 We can't just give up a-and wait for war.
1203 01:32:30 We need to get back to work bringing slaves to freedom,
1204 01:32:33 by train or carriage, horseback,
1205 01:32:36 on foot if necessary.
1206 01:32:38 Harriet...
1207 01:32:40 the journey from Maryland to Canada
1208 01:32:42 is 600 miles from the Canadian border.
1209 01:32:45 Your longest trip was a hundred.
1210 01:32:47 Now, that would take months, not weeks. You can't...
1211 01:32:50 I ain't giving up rescuing slaves because it's far.
1212 01:32:57 Many of you don't know slavery firsthand.
1213 01:33:01 You were born free.
1214 01:33:04 You been free so long, you forget what it's like.
1215 01:33:08 You've gotten comfortable a-and important.
1216 01:33:14 You got beautiful homes,
1217 01:33:17 beautiful wives.
1218 01:33:20 But I remember.
1219 01:33:24 Children beat for not working,
1220 01:33:27 fore they understand what work is.
1221 01:33:30 Girls raped fore they first blood.
1222 01:33:32 Brothers whipped till they back in ribbons.
1223 01:33:35 Sisters sold from they babies.
1224 01:33:38 Trying not to think of what they went through.
1225 01:33:41 Those still enslaved are going through right now.
1226 01:33:46 But I...
1227 01:33:47 I've heard they groans and they sighs.
1228 01:33:50 I've seen they tears.
1229 01:33:52 And I would give every last drop of blood in my veins
1230 01:33:55 to free 'em.
1231 01:33:59 So I ain't giving up.
1232 01:34:03 I'm-a do what I got to do,
1233 01:34:05 go wherever I got to go,
1234 01:34:08 however I got to do it,
1235 01:34:11 to free as many slaves as possible...
1236 01:34:16 till this beast, this monster called slavery
1237 01:34:20 is slain dead.
1238 01:34:22 Amen.
1239 01:34:51 Come on... we're almost there.
1240 01:35:19 So I want y'all to be ready.
1241 01:35:22 Time is running out.

1281 01:37:12 come to take you north.
1282 01:37:20 You're not my Minty.
1283 01:37:23 My Minty just a plain girl.
1284 01:37:26 I'm Harriet Tubman.
1285 01:37:29 I'm Moses.
1286 01:37:33 That's right.
1287 01:37:35 Moses the slave stealer.
1288 01:37:39 Now, I need you to do exactly what I say.
1289 01:37:42 Where's Daddy?
1290 01:38:06 I can't pull my eyes from you.
1291 01:38:08 I needs to look at you.
1292 01:38:18 Now, who you come for now, huh?
1293 01:38:20 You, Daddy.
1294 01:38:23 Me?
1295 01:38:24 You been harboring fugitives?
1296 01:38:27 One of 'em got caught and talked.
1297 01:38:30 They coming for you.
1298 01:38:31 We got to go right now.
1299 01:38:36 Okay. Okay.
1300 01:38:41 Ben.
1301 01:38:42 Our Minty Moses.
1302 01:38:43 The one everyone carrying on about.
1303 01:38:45 I know, I know.
1304 01:38:47 I'm gonna take you north to see Robert,
1305 01:38:48 Henry and Junyah.
1306 01:38:50 But first I need you and Daddy to go
1307 01:38:51 to Reverend Green's church.
1308 01:38:53 - You'll be safe there. - Okay.
1309 01:38:55 Hurry. Then meet me at Brodess Farm.
1310 01:38:57 Yes, boss.
1311 01:39:13 No more. I don't want it.
1312 01:39:15 It's for your nerves, Mama.
1313 01:39:17 I don't want it!
1314 01:39:20 That girl is trying to poison me.
1315 01:39:23 She blames me for her mother.
1316 01:39:27 Mama, you're just anxious.
1317 01:39:29 I am suffocating in this place.
1318 01:39:34 It's like being in prison,
1319 01:39:35 awaiting my execution,
1320 01:39:38 surrounded by hostile, black-faced guards.
1321 01:39:43 Gideon!
1322 01:39:46 Gideon!
1323 01:39:53 - Get him down here. - We need restitution.
1324 01:39:58 Seeing as it's been discovered
1325 01:40:00 that Moses is a nigger girl from your farm,
1326 01:40:04 we think it's only appropriate
1327 01:40:07 that you pay us restitutions
1328 01:40:09 - for our lost property! - Yeah!
1329 01:40:12 We don't have that kind of money.
1330 01:40:24 Where's Mama?
1331 01:40:25 Out with Massa Gideon.
1332 01:40:27 We're going through hard times, like the rest of you.
1333 01:40:29 - Then you're gonna have to sell the farm. - Yeah!
1334 01:40:31 No!
1335 01:40:35 No.
1336 01:40:38 We are victims of this diabolical nigger
1337 01:40:41 just like you are!
1338 01:40:43 She went out?
1339 01:40:45 Girl, go get us some more brandy from the storeroom.
1340 01:40:47 I got a better idea.
1341 01:40:51 Don't be scared, Anger.
1342 01:40:52 I'm your mama's sister. We family.
1343 01:40:58 Where's your brother, Anger?
1344 01:41:00 The trader carry him off.
1345 01:41:02 Our crops are meager, our fortune all but gone.
1346 01:41:05 My livelihood, my very health has been ravaged!
1347 01:41:13 - We are victims, just like you. - Yeah.
1348 01:41:16 She's right. Praise be God.
1349 01:41:19 Who the hell are you?
1350 01:41:21 Call me whatever you want.
1351 01:41:23 That's what you white folks do.
1352 01:41:25 Now, we need to work together...
1353 01:41:29 to find this thief
1354 01:41:31 and burn her at the stake like Joan of Arc!
1355 01:41:34 - Yes! Yes! - She's right!
1356 01:41:36 And I have a plan.
1357 01:41:38 I'll put her sister's child up for auction.
1358 01:41:42 Post notices everywhere.
1359 01:41:47 You ready?
1360 01:41:50 This is for my sister and her son.
1361 01:41:55 Give my regards to your mother and your brother.
1362 01:41:58 Harriet Tubman will come for her niece.
1363 01:42:02 And when she does,
1364 01:42:04 we will be waiting for her!
1365 01:42:06 That's right!
1366 01:42:14 - Where's Foxx? - Tied up in the shitter.
1367 01:42:15 - Let's go. - Wait a minute.
1368 01:42:20 ♪ Go down, Moses ♪
1369 01:42:25 ♪ Way down in Egypt's land ♪
1370 01:42:30 ♪ Tell old Pharaoh ♪
1371 01:42:35 ♪ To let my people go ♪
1372 01:42:39 We're gonna need a bigger cart.
1373 01:42:53 Wait, wait.
1374 01:42:54 Take me with you, please.
1375 01:42:57 My massa trying to kill me.
1376 01:43:04 We definitely gonna need a bigger cart.
1377 01:43:19 They gonna have to come this way.
1378 01:43:21 We got every other way blocked off.
1379 01:43:24 The letter of the law must be obeyed
1380 01:43:26 and every precaution taken
1381 01:43:28 to bring this dangerous wench in alive.
1382 01:43:31 Rest assured,
1383 01:43:33 she will be tried and executed
1384 01:43:35 by the harshest methods available,
1385 01:43:37 as dictated by the laws of the State of Maryland.
1386 01:43:43 I'm gonna wet myself.
1387 01:43:45 You know your massa better than the lines in your hand.
1388 01:43:48 Be him.
1389 01:44:06 Gentlemen, good day.
1390 01:44:07 What's all this?
1391 01:44:09 Slave stealers on the loose.
1392 01:44:11 That devil Moses.
1393 01:44:13 We got a surprise for her.
1394 01:44:18 I hope you catch that bitch and hang her
1395 01:44:19 fore mine get any ideas.
1396 01:44:22 Any of them even breathe that name on my farm,
1397 01:44:24 I'll beat 'em into Sunday.
1398 01:44:27 Strange times,
1399 01:44:29 when a man can't trust his own slaves.
1400 01:44:32 Best of luck to you.
1401 01:44:33 Ho. Ho.
1402 01:44:37 We're gonna have to check the cart, sir.
1403 01:44:40 Sorry to inconvenience you.
1404 01:44:41 Hang on.
1405 01:44:49 Are you related to Luther Grant?
1406 01:44:54 Yes, sir.
1407 01:44:57 He's my daddy.
1408 01:45:01 I thought I saw the resemblance.
1409 01:45:04 You tell your daddy he owes me a whiskey.
1410 01:45:06 Tell him Ned Utley hasn't forgotten.
1411 01:45:08 All right, y'all have a nice day. Come on.
1412 01:45:11 - You, too, Sheriff. - Step back.
1413 01:45:23 Okay.
1414 01:45:41 Any sign of 'em?
1415 01:45:43 Not yet.
1416 01:45:44 Just the usual foot traffic and horse traffic
1417 01:45:46 and a few farmers.
1418 01:45:47 Luther Grant's son came by
1419 01:45:49 with a freight wagon full of corn.
1420 01:45:51 - Luther Grant's son? - That's right.
1421 01:45:53 Looked just like him.
1422 01:45:55 All right, you boys,
1423 01:45:56 now, why don't you go head over here?
1424 01:45:58 Luther Grant ain't got a son.
1425 01:46:00 He's got five daughters and a nigger girl looks like him.
1426 01:46:04 By the time these crackers figure out she got past 'em,
1427 01:46:07 she'll be long gone.
1428 01:46:09 Now, we know she's headed up north.
1429 01:46:12 We should find 'em, collect the reward for ourselves.
1430 01:46:16 Maybe you can get some alone time with her.
1431 01:46:25 Tell me about it again.
1432 01:46:28 Senator Seward sold me a nice house on his property.
1433 01:46:32 Big enough for everybody.
1434 01:46:35 You and Daddy,
1435 01:46:38 Robert,
1436 01:46:39 Henry, Junyah,
1437 01:46:40 and Anger, too.
1438 01:46:42 No massa forcing us to do nothing.
1439 01:46:47 We gonna be together.
1440 01:46:52 I'm gonna spoil you
1441 01:46:55 and take care of you.
1442 01:46:59 I love you, Mama.
1443 01:47:04 I love you, too, Minty.
1444 01:47:19 It's empty.
1445 01:47:21 Come on!
1446 01:47:34 Get everybody under cover. Now.
1447 01:47:37 Get under.
1448 01:47:49 Hurry.
1449 01:47:50 - We got company. - All right, let's go.
1450 01:47:54 Walter...
1451 01:47:56 promise me that you'll get Anger
1452 01:47:58 and my parents to safety.
1453 01:47:59 Why? What are you...?
1454 01:48:00 I can't have Gideon coming after 'em.
1455 01:48:03 You want to help me? Help my family.
1456 01:48:07 Get 'em to safety.
1457 01:48:10 Promise me.
1458 01:48:13 All right. All right. All right.
1459 01:48:16 Go on, now.
1460 01:48:20 Let's go.
1461 01:48:34 Get her!
1462 01:48:47 I want her alive.
1463 01:49:13 You gonna die, bitch.
1464 01:49:24 Alive, I said.
1465 01:49:29 Minty!
1466 01:50:02 Minty!
1467 01:50:13 Minty!
1468 01:50:15 Name's Harriet.
1469 01:50:19 Toss your gun. Toss your gun!
1470 01:50:34 Off your horse.
1471 01:50:36 Off... your... horse.
1472 01:50:49 On your knees.
1473 01:51:09 Didn't have to end like this.
1474 01:51:14 You could have stayed with us...
1475 01:51:18 if only you knew how to behave.
1476 01:51:21 But you were unruly and untamed.
1477 01:51:25 I guess that's what I liked about you.
1478 01:51:30 And you liked me, too.
1479 01:51:33 I know you did.
1480 01:51:37 Praying for me when I was sick,
1481 01:51:39 asking God to keep me well.
1482 01:51:41 I asked God how a sickly little boy could think he owned me.
1483 01:51:45 I do own you, Minty.
1484 01:51:49 Even now, you're mine.
1485 01:51:50 I was never yours, Gideon.
1486 01:51:53 I was never nobody's property.
1487 01:51:56 Ever since your daddy sold my sisters,
1488 01:51:58 I prayed for God to make me strong enough to fight.
1489 01:52:01 And that's what I prayed for ever since.
1490 01:52:04 I reasoned that there was one or two things I had a right to.
1491 01:52:09 Liberty or death.
1492 01:52:13 If I couldn't have one, I'd have the other.
1493 01:52:17 You know what they're gonna do to you
1494 01:52:19 when they catch you?
1495 01:52:22 They will tear you limb from limb,
1496 01:52:25 tar you, and burn you alive.
1497 01:52:28 And even if I'm not there to watch it,
1498 01:52:31 I can almost smell it now.
1499 01:52:34 Like roasting pig.
1500 01:52:39 You gonna die right here.
1501 01:52:46 On a freezing, blood-soaked battlefield.
1502 01:52:54 The moans of a generation of young men...
1503 01:52:58 dying around you in agony...
1504 01:53:02 for a lost cause.
1505 01:53:05 For a vile and wicked idea.
1506 01:53:11 For the sin of slavery.
1507 01:53:16 Can you hear 'em?
1508 01:53:29 God don't mean people to own people, Gideon.
1509 01:53:37 Our time is near.
1510 01:53:53 You tried to destroy my family, but you can't.
1511 01:53:58 You tried to destroy my people, but you won't.
1512 01:54:01 God has shown me the future,
1513 01:54:03 and my people are free.
1514 01:54:06 My people are free!
1515 01:54:34 Suppose there's a snake coiled at your feet,
1516 01:54:37 and it shoots up to bite you.
1517 01:54:41 Folks get scared
1518 01:54:42 and send for a doctor to cut out the bite.
1519 01:54:45 But the snake, he roll up there.
1520 01:54:48 And while the doctor cutting,
1521 01:54:49 he bites you again, in a new place this time.
1522 01:54:55 Finally you realize the snake ain't gonna stop
1523 01:54:57 till someone kills it.
1524 01:55:02 Slavery is still alive.
1525 01:55:05 Those rice fields downriver
1526 01:55:06 are feeding rebel troops with the toil
1527 01:55:07 of a thousand slaves still in bondage.
1528 01:55:12 Our mission is to free those slaves.
1529 01:55:15 We've waited years to be allowed
1530 01:55:16 to fight in this war against our own enslavement,
1531 01:55:19 and it will not be won without us.
1532 01:55:23 Now is our time.
1533 01:55:27 You ready to kill the snake?
1534 01:55:28 Yes!
