1 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,879 Speaker 1: Come in welcome. I need g Marshall him there for 2 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,160 this group of scouting irregulars who assemble here to explore 3 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,920 the mysterious terrain of the imagination. I only regret, said 4 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,800 Nathan Hale, that I have but one life to give 5 00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:31,640 for my country. 6 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 2: But how did he know? How do any of us know? 7 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: Who can say for certain how many times we are 8 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,280 destined to live? This brief span, this tiny flicker, this 9 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,039 fee will shout? Can this be all? For all eternity? 10 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,439 There must be more to it? Or is there? Our 11 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,880 mystery drama, The Angelus of Devil's Mountain was written especially 12 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,040 for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Warren Stevens. 13 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:20,680 Is sponsored in part by Donald K. Farlow drives through 14 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,079 the summary Connecticut countryside. Donald K. Farlow, at forty one, 15 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,840 is scarcely five pounds heavier than he was twenty years 16 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,079 ago when he was named All Ivy League running back. 17 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,879 Of course, he has some silver in his hair, which 18 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,480 is neither as thick nor as luxuriant as it used 19 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,079 to be. His chin seems somewhat heavier, but all in 20 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,959 all time has been kind. At this moment, Donald seems 21 00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:51,879 to have a problem. He feels a nagging, little pain 22 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,480 in the region of his heart, nothing serious or unbearable, 23 00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,480 but it persists, and when Donald sees the sign that 24 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:03,159 says more hotel, he decides to do the sensible thing. 25 00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: Do you have a reservation, mister follow No, I don't. Well, 26 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,919 it doesn't matter. Put you up anyhow. These days nobody's 27 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960 turning away business. How long you plan I'm staying with him? 28 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,319 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I don't know. I just don't know. Miss 29 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,439 uh that's missus Collins. 30 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: My husband Harry, that is my late husband, Harry bought 31 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,120 this place. 32 00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: And I ask you something, Missus Collins? Why are you 33 00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:32,120 staring at me? 34 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: Am I staring? 35 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,039 Speaker 1: Well? Probably the reason I ask is that's so obvious? 36 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: Are that bad? Huh? Well, the minute you walked in 37 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:45,479 through the front door and approached the desk, I was 38 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400 all set to say, hi, how you doing?

Hey, 97 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,519 now that you take picture, I did see at some point. 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: You're sure, Marvin, I'm not sure of nothing. 99 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,199 Speaker 2: Oh, I know.

Well, 102 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:36,199 how are there, mister Follow? 103 00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Do you do you have a doctor in there by? Doctor? 104 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,639 Speaker 3: Oh, mister Follow, something's wrong. I knew it. 105 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: Well, it's uh, I don't think it's serious. 106 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: Well, if you're sick, you come to the right place. 107 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,879 Speaker 1: We got Devil's Mount Memorial Hospital there with the finest hospital. 108 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,439 Speaker 3: What's the matter? 109 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: I think perhaps it might be wise for me to 110 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,000 check it at your heart. 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: It's your heart, isn't it. I can tell by that 112 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,839 look on your face. Mob, and you bring that station 113 00:05:58,879 --> 00:05:59,920 wagon around to the front. 114 00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:07,759 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be able to tell you. It was 115 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,759 to follow that we can find nothing, but absolutely nothing 116 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,680 out of the way. Your chodiogram is completely normal. Ah, 117 00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:19,360 that's a really pressure respiration heartbeat. We just talk people 118 00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:23,439 to find anything. And yet you have this pain. Yes, doctor, 119 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:27,480 that's why I stopped here in this town. Originally I 120 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,680 was going to tell me, do you have any cardiac history? No, sir, 121 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,399 not that I know of. And the pain. Describe the pain, Well, 122 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,319 it doesn't seem to be the kind of pain that 123 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,480 well I've been told to associate with a heart attack. 124 00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:46,839 Just more of a a stabbing pain, is it? Cause 125 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:53,319 if i'd been stabbed? Mm? Doctor, yes, doctor? Why are 126 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,199 you staring at me? 127 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:54,879 Speaker 3: Uh? 128 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: I wasn't wherever it was? Who you are? Why you 129 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,120 still are? Uh? Broll? Let me tell you something else. 130 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:09,240 Everybody everybody in this town has been staring at me. Everybody, Yes, well, 131 00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:12,720 h wh what do you mean by everybody? Everybody I've 132 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,319 met first the lady who runs the motel dot com. Yes, 133 00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,360 and and the fella who seems to be the handyman. 134 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,920 He actually knocked on my door on some pretext, just 135 00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:25,720 to look at me, You're sure. And then there's the 136 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600 technician right here, the one who gave me the cardiogram. 137 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,160 She kept staring at me. It must be your imagination, 138 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,639 is it? Do I imagine that you're staring at me now? Mr? 139 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,519 Follow haven't we met before? I couldn't say so. He 140 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,680 looks so amilted to me. Well, you don't appear at 141 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,519 all familiar to me. 142 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,639 Speaker 2: Know you from somewhere in this entire town. 143 00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:53,399 Speaker 1: It seems knows me from somewhere, but no one can 144 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:57,000 say exactly where. Now. Look, I've done nothing that would 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,439 call me to public attention, certainly not up here. I'm 146 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,120 not a famous person. You've never been up this way before. 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,560 I've only been in the state of Connecticut twice, and 148 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,160 each time was more than twenty years ago. It was 149 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,160 when Pennsylvania played Yale at the Bowl. Well, was your 150 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800 picture in the local papers at the time. I don't 151 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,519 even remember. Are you telling me that people would recall 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,839 a college football game of more than two decades ago 153 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,319 in the face of a visiting player? Follow, I'm only 154 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,439 trying to create a basis of reality for what seems 155 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,600 so mysterious in that little girl who took my cardiogram. 156 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,720 She she probably wasn't even born at the time. I know, 157 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,519 I know. What's the difference whether or not I remind 158 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,320 you of someone? No? None, Really, what does it all 159 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:46,360 have to do with what's wrong with me? Nothing? Except, 160 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,759 mister Follow, we can't find anything at all that's wrong 161 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,360 with you. Well, then, why do I have this pain 162 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:57,799 in my heart? Your heart is absolutely solved. How can 163 00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:01,360 you say that I have a pain here that increases? 164 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,159 It seems to increase in severity, It just keeps getting worse. Look, 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,200 doctor Steinberg, you remember the elderly. If I have gentlemen examager, 166 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,360 as did doctor Higgins, doctor Summers, we can call it 167 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,759 an other specialist. But you won't find better men anywhere. 168 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,720 And all of them say that you are normal. But 169 00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:23,120 something is wrong. I feel it. Why do I have 170 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,559 this terrible pain in my heart? I suppose you answer this, 171 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,320 do you need a heart attack? What? I don't believe 172 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,919 I heard that. Do I need a heart attack? What? 173 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,039 Why would anyone need a heart attack? It might come 174 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,720 in handy, handy, handy for what. A man will sometimes 175 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,679 find himself in what might be described as an intolerable 176 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,200 situation he cannot face if he cannot fight it, and 177 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,480 yet it will not go away, and so he seeks 178 00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:56,200 to haven the protection of a serious illness. Why do 179 00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:00,000 you tell this to me, mister Harlowe? Tell me, ah, 180 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,840 you presently in some sort of intolerable situation. Doctor, I 181 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,480 don't see that that is any concern of yours. A 182 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:09,159 physician cannot treat an isolated part of his patient. He 183 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,679 must consider the health of the entire human being. And 184 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,879 I can find no physical basis for your pain. I've 185 00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,320 never felt it before. I never even knew what it 186 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,480 was to be sick. And then yesterday morning I was 187 00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:24,879 driving along the highway. I passed a sign that the 188 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,200 one that said welcome to Devil's Mountain. I remember because 189 00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:31,320 I asked myself, what kind of name is that? Devil's Mountain? 190 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:34,679 And then there was a stab of pain, as if 191 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960 well as if i'd been shot through the heart and 192 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,320 it just won't go away. Yeah, I think I can 193 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,320 say for you to do right now is just rest. 194 00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:46,720 What is wrong with me? Doctor? I don't know?

My problem is 208 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:27,440 that a company I've devoted my life to building up 209 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,639 is now well it's going to go under. Why? Why?

I I just 338 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,920 can't explain it or understand it. Everybody thinks I look 339 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:34,839 like somebody. They know I have this terrible pain that baffles. 340 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,359 The doctors will. No, it doesn't. They claim, I've got 341 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,920 it because I'm running away. 342 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 3: Where you were running away from a fight. You don't 343 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,759 look like that kind to me. 344 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,759 Speaker 1: And this, this is a fight I can't win. Why 345 00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:54,640 Because I'm up against too much money, too much power. Besides, 346 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,799 I I don't have to fight, you See, I could 347 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,400 sell out to this big company and take a job 348 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,920 with them. That'd be the smartest thing I could do. Why, Well, 349 00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:08,720 my own future would be assured. I I wouldn't have 350 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,400 to worry about debts or loans. I could save the 351 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,160 jobs of maybe a hundred men in the long run. Besides, 352 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,519 I wouldn't have to work so hard. 353 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,559 Speaker 3: We'll tell me what's wrong with all that? 354 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: Nothing really, except that I could no longer call my 355 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:24,519 soul my own. 356 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,759 Speaker 3: And that's why you've got this pain. 357 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,519 Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lot of medical jargons surrounding it, but 358 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,680 I guess that's what it all boils down to. 359 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 3: So how can you get rid of it? 360 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: Ah?

It's so much better to 420 00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,799 die in battle than to die of shame. 421 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,039 Speaker 3: Oh please try it. 422 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,519 Speaker 1: I must, I must tell this to someone.

Well, 462 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,160 I say those words. William Shakespeare said, I say the 463 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,440 truest words ever spoken. A plague on both your houses, 464 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,599 and for some reason, a revolutionary war painting has become 465 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,240 painfully alive for Donald K. Filo. Suddenly he is back 466 00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:51,119 there in those troubled and turbulent times. And from what 467 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,559 we have just heard, he doesn't seem to be in 468 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,640 tune with those times either. Well, the time has come 469 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,359 for us to listen to some sage words of advice, 470 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,920 and then I shall return with Act three. 471 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: The following things. 472 00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 6: Businessmen who will handle everything themselves ten phone calls, they've 473 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,079 got ten important let us out to any parts of 474 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,559 the country. I think it makes your business more efficient. 475 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: Well, what about the cost. 476 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 6: For a few dollars, I can have the mail grams 477 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,920 sent and a copy sent to me. The mail graam 478 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:21,599 is definitely a valued It gives me additional time for 479 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,119 other work. 480 00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: I've been talking with Harry Odell, one of many small 481 00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:27,839 businessmen who have discovered the convenience of mail grams. 482 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: It's easy to send the mail gram. Just call Western 483 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,359 Union's toll free eight hundred number any time, day or night. 484 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,160 Mail gram impact of a telegram at a fraction of 485 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:51,400 the cost. According to mister Henry David Thoreau, it is 486 00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,440 permissible for a man to march to the beat of 487 00:26:54,519 --> 00:26:59,920 his own drummer. However, this is never true during wartime then, 488 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,599 and everyone must listen to one drummer only, and that 489 00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:07,720 is the drummer who sets the beat for the armed forces. 490 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,039 Mister Donald k Filo has suddenly found himself back in 491 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,119 our revolutionary struggle and completely at odds with a popular 492 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,000 opinion of the day. 493 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: Well, Pa, maybe you don't have to listen. 494 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,079 Speaker 1: Maybe you're too old. I'm not too old, jeb, I'm 495 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,720 only forty. What I'm trying to say, is, Pa, nobody 496 00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:26,839 really had the right to expect you to join up, 497 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,640 And so if I keep my mouth shut, maybe nobody'll notice. 498 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Is that it? Well, yes, Pa, Well I never kept 499 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,000 my mouth shut my whole life. I ain't gonna start 500 00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:38,200 now either, Pa. You'd better do some threatening me. Son. 501 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,319 Has this revolutionary nonsense driven the Bible's teachings from your head? 502 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,599 Honor thy father. Remember, I'm only telling you that the 503 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,759 diplomatic thing to do. I'm too old to be a diplomat. 504 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,440 Jeb right off, hurry in the morning with Hepphen's cavalry. 505 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,079 Give me your blessing, Sir, I can't huh. Oh yes, 506 00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:01,319 I could hold my hands over your head and bless 507 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,200 your mission, but it'd be a lie because I don't 508 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,599 believe in it. All right by, I understand. I'll do 509 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,839 the best I can without it. 510 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 3: Oh, good evening, sir. 511 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,799 Speaker 1: May I have a muggy dail Sydney, Sir, didn't know yourself? 512 00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:31,359 Red coats?

I'm a man who has to 532 00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:26,079 speak his mind. 533 00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 4: Man, I wonder why all of you think it's so 534 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,319 important to say what you think. 535 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: Now, look at us women.

The British still hold them, and 541 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,279 your views would be more in keeping with the popular sentiments. 542 00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:55,079 Speaker 1: I won't be driven away from my land. 543 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,039 Speaker 4: Speaking frankly, sir, do you know why you ain't been 544 00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:01,160 hung or jailed or t and feathered and ridden on 545 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,920 a rail because her son, because of Jeb, because he's a. 546 00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:09,759 Speaker 3: Trooper with Heppen's cavalry. Nobody wants to break that lad's heart. 547 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: My son has caught the popular madness. 548 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: Why do you call it madness? 549 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,319 Speaker 1: Because no better word describes it. This motley collection of 550 00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:23,640 country bumpkins. Yes, Mistress Porter, that's all. We are, provincials, rustics. 551 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,359 That's how the British see us. We're a joke to them. 552 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 4: Then they must be laughing with tears in their eyes. 553 00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:31,799 We bled them pretty bad at Breed's Hill up in Boston. 554 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,160 A little what Ethan Allen and his boys have done 555 00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:35,960 and our own is real butt now. 556 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:39,279 Speaker 1: But soon they'll begin to take us seriously, and then 557 00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:42,759 the ball will be over. Their invincible fleet will strangle 558 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:43,599 us with a brockade. 559 00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:46,319 Speaker 4: I must say, sir, you do take a dim view, 560 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,079 take a realistic view. 561 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,119 Speaker 1: And who needed this war? Hotheads in Boston, slave owners 562 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,640 in Virginia. 563 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 3: Now you know there's more to it than that? 564 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,039 Speaker 1: What more we could have lived in peace? This nonsense 565 00:30:58,079 --> 00:31:01,920 about taxation without representation. The average person doesn't have the 566 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,480 right to vote in Great Britain either. What do we 567 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,400 want to vote for anyhow, what does it matter what 568 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:10,400 scoundrel has chosen to loot the public treasury and misgovern 569 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:10,920 the country. 570 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,359 Speaker 3: It matters because we have the right to choose him 571 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,319 and turn him out. 572 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a right worth dying for. 573 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: It's the principle of the thing principles. 574 00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:22,279 Speaker 1: My principle is to be let alone, to live in peace, 575 00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:24,640 not to provoke a war which cannot be won. 576 00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:27,319 Speaker 3: Why do you insist we can't win. 577 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: Because the odds are against us. Common sense is against us, 578 00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:35,880 reality is against us. The overwhelming weight of men, money, ships, 579 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,519 guns are all against us. I agree, And why do 580 00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:40,799 you support this insane enterprise? 581 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,559 Speaker 4: I agree that the odds are against us, but I 582 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,599 insist we can win. 583 00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:49,039 Speaker 1: Why because we must, even in the face of all. 584 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 3: Even in the face of all your overwhelming odds. 585 00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:54,359 Speaker 4: And I should like to ask you, sir, why are 586 00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:56,200 you opposed to the cause of independence? 587 00:31:56,319 --> 00:32:00,839 Speaker 1: I told you why. First, I would rather live in peace. Second, 588 00:32:01,319 --> 00:32:02,599 we have no chance. 589 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,319 Speaker 3: Of obtaining I you are you sure there isn't a 590 00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:05,000 third reason? 591 00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: What's sir? 592 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,759 Speaker 3: You're afraid to fight? 593 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,799 Speaker 1: Madam? I can assure you no man could ever say 594 00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:12,119 that to me. 595 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,799 Speaker 4: Oh, I don't mean that kind of fight, a fight 596 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,599 that proves nothing, settles nothing. 597 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: I mean the fight for human freedom. 598 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm free now. 599 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,759 Speaker 4: Slavery is no bad. There are pleasant forms of it too. 600 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,559 The life we let here was in many ways the 601 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:27,759 life of a slave. We were told what to do, 602 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,319 what the rays, what the manufacture, what to buy? What 603 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,880 the cell plagued by restrictions. 604 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 3: Limits, boundaries. 605 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 4: Everything was that the pleasure of a king in his 606 00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:38,200 tyrannical minister. 607 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,279 Speaker 1: I could live with it. 608 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:43,279 Speaker 3: Well, it takes all kinds. 609 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: I guess maybe it does. Order. Good morning, reverend horn It. 610 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,119 I see you've packed for a journey at at, so 611 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:03,240 come in rest awhile have a bike. A can't have 612 00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,279 no time. See the British are sending a raiding party 613 00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:10,359 all through the valley here, our valley. Yeah, they were 614 00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:13,079 a little burden and killing. So most of the town's 615 00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:17,319 moving out, heading north to Boston. But why well, as 616 00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:21,200 they say, we're a hotbed of rebel sentiment, heire, and 617 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,359 we're to be taught a lesson. 618 00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't think you've got too much to worry about, though. 619 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: Why why do you say that? Well, you're known as 620 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,039 a supporter of the king. But I am not a 621 00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:36,599 supporter of the king. I don't support anyone in this madness. 622 00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:39,400 Even if that's so, you can't call what folk about 623 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,039 me believing in madness. 624 00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: And you know how it is in time of war. 625 00:33:43,759 --> 00:33:44,599 Speaker 1: They're not with us. 626 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 2: They're a Guinness. 627 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,119 Speaker 1: So we are about to reap the whirlwind. I got 628 00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:52,839 to be moving on to say, I don't think you're 629 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,480 in any danger. You'll sweep through here like savages. You'll 630 00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:00,480 carry off all the livestock they looked, and they'll burn 631 00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:05,000 the houses and barns, but not yours. Timmins, my neighbor 632 00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:08,039 by the creek, and Sanderson over the edge of the woods. 633 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,199 They're off with Jebb, fighting with jeb down south with 634 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,159 Hephn's cavalry. 635 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,679 Speaker 3: I suppose those are the fortunes. 636 00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: Of war men of my neighbors. They'd never face them again. 637 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:24,119 They returned to find the labor of a lifetime destroyed. Well, 638 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,400 everything that belonged to me still flourishes.
