Short filmTranscript
00:00Frasar dies in it.
00:01I found Ben.
00:02He claims it was at your behest that he feigned his death.
00:05You've been concealing the truth.
00:06I felt I had to. Can you blame me?
00:08You were protecting yourself and Trevor.
00:10Whatever feelings you have beyond what is familial duty would be improper.
00:14I have had carnal knowledge of your wife.
00:17Percival Beauchamp, although his name isn't Beauchamp,
00:20Perseverance Wainwright.
00:20He's an unscrupulous bastard loyal to no one but himself.
00:23Beauchamp is right about one thing.
00:25Richardson is a spy.
00:26He wanted influence over Hal and he asked me to spy on you.
00:30So you've found Captain Richardson?
00:31I have indeed.
00:32Where is the black-hearted scoundrel?
00:34You needn't look far.
01:12Where in God's name am I? And what am I doing here?
01:17First, I'd like to apologize. I have no personal animus against you. If I could have managed this without involving
01:23you, I would have done so.
01:24And what of your personal animus against my son? Or have you forgotten your involvement of him in this political
01:30farce of yours?
01:31I'm sorry about that as well.
01:33God damn it, you insufferable fool. What is it that you want?
01:37Are you familiar with a man named Neil Stapleton?
01:43I might have heard the name. But if so, it's been some time.
01:49Well, perhaps I should have inquired as to whether you knew him in the carnal sense.
02:05I believe you'll find that to be an accurate account of acts which occurred between the two of you.
02:14He didn't write this of his own free will. No sane man would.
02:20What did you do to him?
02:22It's a bribery. Torture.
02:26Is he still alive?
02:28Do you care?
02:32Of course you do.
02:35If he were dead, you could claim this document was a forgery.
02:39But Mr. Stapleton is, in fact, still alive.
02:44However, he is in London.
02:48Fortunately, I have additional testimony.
02:53Nearer to half.
03:04Sorry, John. I'm not brave.
03:08You've always been so good, I never heard.
03:18So you forced a confession out of him as well?
03:22Unnatural acts?
03:24And...
03:25What does it say here?
03:28Incest?
03:30Is that right?
03:33Dear me, Lord John. Dear me.
03:39You've gone through rather a lot of trouble for nothing, Mr. Richardson.
03:43They do not give a fig what you do with those documents.
03:46A gentleman does not submit to blackmail.
03:50Oh, funny.
03:52Almost all of them do.
03:54Then you'll be so good as to explain yourself.
03:57At once!
03:57I have a list of persons whose actions will lead to a particular outcome in this war.
04:03Your brother, the Duke of Padlow, is one of them.
04:06What on earth are you talking about?
04:08He intends to give a speech to the House of Lords recommending the withdrawal of funds for the war.
04:14Should that happen, the British government will lose both the war and the American colonies.
04:19That cannot be allowed.
04:22And if I am to accept this wild assertion of yours, what do you expect me to do about it?
04:30Persuade him not to make that speech.
04:34I require him to give a different one instead.
04:37One which keeps the war funds going.
04:40I believe your life and honor are the only things that will ensure his doing so.
04:45If you think that, then plainly you do not know my brother.
04:49And what if he declines?
04:51Then the scandal will thoroughly discredit him.
04:55And everything he says.
04:58And you'll be hanged.
05:00For sodomy.
05:04Either way, I get what I want.
05:07You're noble bastards.
05:09You'll remain here as my guest while copies of these statements are sent to your brother.
05:15What happens to you after that will depend upon his grace.
05:20Oh.
05:21I don't know.
05:55I don't know.
06:21I don't know.
06:52I take it you're not here to liberate me?
06:55I would if I could, John.
06:58Please bless me.
07:00What then?
07:03Sentimental goodbye from the foot of the gallows.
07:07Richardson has sent me to try and persuade you.
07:11Reach not to as he asks, John.
07:15Convince Al not to give that speech.
07:18He'd listen to you.
07:27I don't want you to die.
07:29But I share that opinion.
07:31But no, I won't do it.
07:33I want to say two things to you.
07:41First, I'm sorry.
07:43I'm truly sorry.
07:46And I believe that.
07:48For what it's worth.
07:51And the second...
07:52That's how I love you.
08:02I had hoped you would come say goodbye.
08:06Richardson won't allow me to write to anyone.
08:09Any last words I made.
08:10If you can, I need you to go to my house.
08:13Of course I will.
08:14If you meant what you just said.
08:15For the sake of any love that you've ever had for me.
08:18Go and find my son.
08:20And tell him.
08:22That I love him.
08:26Please.
08:31Give him this.
08:35He's my son.
08:36It should be his.
08:48Good-bye, Miss Everance.
08:52Give up to your name.
08:57Sing me a song of a lass that is gone.
09:05Say, could that lass be I?
09:13Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
09:18Over the sea to sky
09:27Billowing breeze, islands and seas
09:33Mountains of rain and sun
09:38All that was good
09:41All that was good
09:44All that was me
09:46Is gone
09:52Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
09:57Say, could that lass be I?
10:02I, Mary of soul
10:06She sailed on a day
10:09Over the sea
10:17To sky
10:22Bye
10:24Bye
10:26Bye
10:50I once believed time could be reshaped by sheer force of will, like water wearing away its stone.
10:57But with Jamie's fate seemingly carved into history's bedrock, I found myself searching for any crack, any fissure through which
11:05hope might seep.
11:11Thank goodness you're here. I wasn't sure if you'd received my message.
11:15It's been seven weeks. Has there been any word from him?
11:17None. Been in a state.
11:20Are you sure he didn't have a journey planned?
11:22His horse is stabled. All his belongings are in the house.
11:25Did you inquire at British headquarters?
11:27Yes. They know nothing.
11:29Has my uncle Hal arrived?
11:30Not yet. There was a letter that he'd been delayed.
11:33He's likely still on business for Parliament, assessing the war effort.
11:36However, this package came for him a few days ago.
11:40The man who brought it, an odd fellow, seemed quite melancholy.
11:45Said it was for the Duke of Pardlow.
11:47He asked after you too, William. Said he had a message for you.
11:50What was the message?
11:52I pressed him to tell me, but he wouldn't say or give me his name.
11:55Said he had to relate to you in person.
11:57And he just...
11:59left?
12:00Oh, that's Trevor. Will you excuse me?
12:09Open it, lad.
12:19Your Grace.
12:21I am informed that after your time here, you are to return to England,
12:23where you will address the House of Lords in regards to the American War.
12:26I have taken the liberty of appending a direction that this address might take in terms of support of the
12:30war.
12:31Should you choose not to heed this suggestion,
12:33be apprised that copies of the accompanying documents will be forwarded to all London newspapers,
12:37as well as to each member of Parliament.
12:43Son of a bitch.
12:46This is about my father's...
12:49proclivities.
12:51Apparently it's about to become public knowledge.
12:53Not if we get to Joan first.
12:55He's clearly still alive.
12:57Whoever has him intends to keep him until the Duke returns.
13:00You need to find and burn all copies of these letters.
13:03Look at the signature.
13:07P. Wainwright.
13:09Is that our friend Percy, do you think?
13:11No.
13:25You!
13:26William!
13:27Where is he?
13:28Where is my father?
13:29I don't...
13:31No!
13:31You're lying.
13:32I saw that statement you delivered from my uncle.
13:38Spade!
13:40You kill me if he finds out I've told you anything.
13:43He's a madman.
13:44Who?
13:47Who?
13:49His name is Richardson.
13:51He's Ezekiel Richardson.
13:52Richardson?
13:54I'll kill him.
13:55After I kill you!
13:57I swear, I didn't want to be involved.
13:58It was a mistake.
14:00I was meant to wait for the Duke to arrive before delivering that package.
14:03Then tell us where Richardson is holding him.
14:06I don't know.
14:08I was blindfolded when they took us there and again when they brought me back to town.
14:12We travelled by boat.
14:14It took quite a while.
14:15Perhaps a few hours.
14:18And the place we went to itself was a boathouse.
14:20I could be any of the S3C at a boat.
14:23I would never have left John.
14:25But I could do him no good.
14:28And I thought...
14:29Well, now, he told me, in fact.
14:30He told me to go.
14:32And to find you.
14:34He wanted me to give you this.
14:37I've never once seen it off his hand.
14:40May I?
14:47Something scratched on you inside.
14:50Theros.
14:52The Screek.
14:53Lighthouse.
14:55Does that have some special significance for your father?
14:58Not that I know of.
14:59I've never heard him speak of a lighthouse.
15:01No.
15:02Then it must be that he's been kept near a lighthouse.
15:05Do you care of any nearby?
15:06There's one on Tybee Island.
15:08Richardson is insane.
15:10He's a turncoat who joined the Continentals, but now he says he wants the British to win.
15:15Your father is alive.
15:18Get your uncle, the Duke, to do as Richardson says.
15:29If we don't find my father, or if we do when he's dead, there will be nowhere safe for you.
15:35Let's go.
15:41Come on.
15:44Come on.
15:55Come on.
16:00Let's go.
16:04There's a boathouse up ahead.
16:06Is anyone a boat?
16:14I see someone.
16:16May I look?
16:22That's Richardson.
16:24The bastard is going fishing.
16:28He seems to be alone.
16:30It'll likely be a while then.
16:55I'm convinced you'll win.
16:57Aren't you?
17:00Fucking bugger.
17:01Of course.
17:04I don't know.
17:07I've had enough of you.
17:09You're laughing.
17:10I never said you're facing the car.
17:12Not my bad.
17:14What is it?
17:33Fuck.
17:36Fuck.
17:57You look good with a beard, John.
17:59You're the oil painting itself.
18:00You and your animals.
18:03I don't know.
18:08I'm going to find out.
18:21You're the lady.
18:22I don't know.
18:26I could have an idea.
18:27I don't know.
18:28I don't know.
18:28Are you with me?
18:29I don't know.
18:30Oh, my God.
18:46It looks like they're biting.
18:53Mrs. Fraser?
18:55What?
18:57What are you doing here?
18:59Yes, it is Mrs. Fraser.
19:00Now, the circumstances being what they are, I'm here on behalf of my former husband,
19:06rather than my current one.
19:12And you expect me to believe you've come alone?
19:15No, not at all.
19:35What are we planning to do with this waste of humanity?
19:39I'll deliver him to the court-martial.
19:42He's a traitor to both sides.
19:44He'll throw a loss as you get him.
19:46I suppose we will see who appears in the broadsheets now.
19:51John?
19:55Are there any other guards?
19:56There may have been only so-to, but it was difficult to design the voices.
20:01Are you and William?
20:02Search outside.
20:04I'll retrieve the boat.
20:23How did you find me?
20:27How's he beauchamp?
20:30That debauched little snitch.
20:36You've no idea what you've done.
20:38What you're unleashing by stopping me.
20:42What are you even trying to do?
20:45Last I saw you, you were on the side of America.
20:49The side of freedom.
20:52It's what's changed.
20:54I fear an American victory may do little for the cause of freedom.
20:59So many in America may not be free.
21:02Not for years to come.
21:07How do you feel about slavery, Mrs. Fraser?
21:12Well, I abhor it.
21:14On both philosophical and compassionate grounds, of course.
21:19Why?
21:21Do you think I declare myself in favor of it?
21:24You might have.
21:26But I'm glad you didn't.
21:27I don't expect you or anyone else to understand,
21:30but it's something I care deeply about.
21:32You see, my great-great-grandmother was a slave.
21:37Her name was Abilene Meadows.
21:41She bore a child with a man who owned her.
21:47I see.
21:49There's an abolitionist movement in England.
21:51Do you know about it?
21:55I've heard of it.
21:56If it takes root, the king will sign an act of abolition which outlaws slavery
22:00and frees Britain's slaves in their colonies, over 800,000 of them.
22:05But that's not nearly the number in America who may not be free.
22:09Not for 85 more years who continue to be enslaved and suffer and die.
22:14It's the revolution which allows slavery to flourish here unchecked and then leads to another bloody war.
22:21Civil war.
22:21What did you say, madam?
22:25You were talking about the North and South.
22:31Sherman's March.
22:33Gettysburg.
22:35The Abraham Lincoln.
22:43You were a time-traveler.
23:011945 and 1968.
23:09First time it was an accident.
23:13Second was it.
23:161968.
23:19This can't be a coincidence.
23:22You're here to help me.
23:24You must be.
23:25I can assure you, I'm not.
23:27But surely you understand what I'm trying to do.
23:30Racism.
23:31Segregation.
23:32The Jim Crow laws.
23:34The reverberations of slavery.
23:36It could all go away.
23:37How?
23:38It's actually quite simple.
23:40If the patriots don't win,
23:42then the American colonies remain under British law.
23:45Their existing slaves will all go free.
23:48The civil war won't happen.
23:51Can't happen.
23:51That alone will save the lives of over 600,000 soldiers killed on the battlefield.
23:56That seems simple to you.
23:59I have pinpointed several persons whose actions will affect the trajectory of this war.
24:04But Harold Gray is the key.
24:07If I don't stop him,
24:08after a brief stay here,
24:10he'll return to England and give a speech to the House of Lords,
24:13insisting that the expense will be disproportionate to any benefit in retaining Britain's colonies.
24:19Lord North will abandon the war.
24:20Britain will lose and slavery will continue here unabated.
24:24But if Harold Gray is key,
24:28then why not just kill him?
24:31I don't need him dead.
24:33I need him to reverse his position.
24:36If I kill him,
24:37someone else will give the speech he intends to give.
24:40I need him to deliver a different speech.
24:44One that convinces Britain to stay in the war and win.
24:48Lord John Gray is my leverage.
24:52You can't win a war that has already been lost.
24:56I understand your urge to try and change the course of history.
25:00I admire it.
25:04The past leaves a lot to be desired.
25:10But it won't work.
25:12Christ.
25:15You've tried, haven't you?
25:19Yes.
25:20When?
25:21What war?
25:25Culloden.
25:28The one that ended the Highland clans
25:32and destroyed their way of life.
25:35That one that saw 1,300 souls die in under an hour.
25:42We tried to stop it.
25:45My husband and I.
25:46Just because you failed, it doesn't mean...
25:48Alamance.
25:50You tried twice.
25:53No matter what side we fight on.
25:55No matter how hard we fight.
25:59What has happened before always happens again.
26:03So you've stopped trying?
26:05Have you...
26:06You've given up trying to change history?
26:09You haven't, have you?
26:12I can see it in your face.
26:16I tried to change my own history.
26:19But changing your history can change everyone's.
26:22Don't tell me you haven't ruined lives.
26:24Taken lives even.
26:26You're right.
26:28I have.
26:31But I have also saved lives.
26:35You know, maybe I'm not here to change history,
26:38but maybe I'm here to be a part of history.
26:42You know, when I first touched those stones,
26:47it wasn't a choice.
26:49I didn't try to come here, but I did.
26:54And I don't know if it was fate,
26:57or destiny, or God.
27:00But what I do know
27:01is that I'm supposed to be here.
27:04It's that I'm meant to be here.
27:08This is my time.
27:11Well, I believe I'm meant to be here, too.
27:14I'm meant to be doing what I'm doing.
27:18What if it's the universe
27:19correcting a mistake,
27:22righting a wrong?
27:23But who are we to say?
27:27What is this ability we have for?
27:31Except to try and make the world a better place.
27:37Let me go.
27:39Let me do what I believe is my part in history.
27:50Give me your word.
27:54Give me your word
27:56that you won't harm anyone again.
28:01And I'll let you go try.
28:04I give you my word.
28:07I give you my word.
28:12Let me do what I believe.
28:27I give you my word.
28:29I give you my word.
28:34I give you my word.
28:45that was for william if i had another shot i'd put one in you for me and another for hal
28:49too
28:51for a moment i'd seen in richardson's eyes what i'd carried in my heart
28:54the desperate hope that somehow i could write a new chapter in jamie's story
28:59but as the life ebbed from his body my foolish dream died with him
29:03reaffirming that history writes itself

31:15my grandsire was said to have never apologized once in his life
31:19the one beheaded at tower hill

31:31were clear
31:34you said you were both
31:35fucking me
31:37that it was me you were reaching for

39:15We returned to the ridge after Jamie reconciled with Lord John and William.
39:20But even as we brought in the harvest, I couldn't stop myself from counting the days we had remaining.
39:27What history had written about Jamie's fate at King's Mountain haunted me.
39:33But at little Davy's first defiant cry, I was reminded that Jamie and I had been rebelling against time itself
39:40from the very beginning.
39:59What's my newest grandson?
40:02Hmm. He's grand.
40:05I'm so glad you and Mama got back in time for the birth.
40:08I was terrified of going through it without her.
40:12And you.
40:14It was an honour.
40:15Welcoming David, William, Ian, Fraser Mackenzie into the world.
40:23What is it?
40:30You can, a fight at King's Mountain.
40:39Something Frank wrote in his book.
40:48You're not coming back, are you?
40:55This is how I'll be killed there.
41:02Well, if...
41:04If that's what it says, just don't go to King's Mountain.
41:07I have to, I mean...
41:09No.
41:11You don't.
41:13Not only to protect our home, our lands, though that alone would be worth it.
41:18But if Frank is right, then this battle could be the one to end the war in the backcountry.
41:24If we win, and he says we will, then we need no longer fear.
41:29No longer fear?
41:30What I fear is losing you.
41:33It's Jem and Mandy and Davy growing up without their grandfather.
41:36And losing all of those years that I lost with you.
41:40I finally have you in my life, and I can't imagine it without you.
41:46I can't imagine it without you.
41:47Please, don't go.
41:53Maybe Daddy wrote this for you so you'd stay home if you knew what would happen.
41:56No.
41:58Neither man had no cause to love me.
42:01But he loved you.
42:03And he knew one thing about me, same thing I cared about him.
42:07That we would protect you with our lives.
42:12But I know the only way to truly protect you and everyone I love
42:21is to fate.
42:39John.
42:41Didn't expect to see you.
42:42Alive?
43:08You can't be searched.
43:09I've never been more serious in my life.
43:14You betrayed us, Percy.
43:18You betrayed me.
43:21For that, you must answer.
43:25Please, John.
43:28You know I had no choice.
43:31He threatened to kill me.
43:33And yet here you are, alive and well.
43:38Richardson, however, is not.
43:44I didn't mean for it to come to this.
43:49You must believe me.
43:53There is another option.
43:55You sign this affidavit,
43:58confessing to the scheme
43:59to malign my character,
44:02extortion,
44:03and kidnapping.
44:07You will let the law decide your fate.
44:12But Richardson is dead.
44:14There's no threat to you now.
44:15I can't take that chance.
44:16There very well could be copies that exist.
44:19If the confessions do resurface,
44:22the affidavit will render them null and void.
44:29And if I refuse?
44:32It will be your signature on that paper,
44:34or your blood.
44:35Either way,
44:36you will pay
44:38for your treachery.
44:57What will happen for Cyrus?
44:59I will give it to the authorities.
45:02Someone will come for you,
45:04and you will be arraigned.
45:05Your crimes will be laid bare,
45:08and justice will be served.
45:11You will live,
45:12likely in prison,
45:14until your death.
45:19I've never wanted to hurt you.
45:22Make your choice.
45:27It's your life.
45:29It's your life.
45:34It's my life.
45:39It's my life.
45:47It's my life.
46:05Will you have to forgive me, John?
46:34May God have mercy on your soul.
46:55What are you doing, hiding up here in the middle of the day?
46:59Looking for some peace.
47:05It's not look as though you're writing in your medical journal.
47:10No monstrous drawings or pictures of a beasties.
47:15What are you doing?
47:27People disappear all the time.
47:30Young girls run away from home.
47:33Children stray from their parents and are never seen again.
47:38Most are found, eventually.
47:42Disappearances, after all, have explanations.
47:47Usually.
47:51It's a hell of a beginning.
47:55Hmm.
47:57You're writing your story?
47:59No.
48:01I'm writing our story.
48:07Fraser!
48:15Fraser!
48:17Fraser!
48:22Time has come, Fraser.
48:25Ferguson's on the march into North Carolina.
48:27Gather your men.
48:28All you can get, we muster with the rest of the over-mountain men at Sycamore Shoals in two days'
48:32time.
48:33You owe me, Fraser.
48:35You said so yourself.
48:38Cleveland's words echoed like a death knell across the ridge.
48:41The battle I'd so dreaded now cast its shadow before us.
48:46And though I had conquered time itself, I stood powerless as it marched my beloved towards a fate I could
48:53not change.
48:55The air it Kaufman Eye
48:56Oh yea.
49:15Oh yea.
49:23Again, it awaits your enter.
49:23I'll get all my steps.
49:23The end of our recording by se patient for me
50:23To fight for freedom.
50:27If I die tomorrow, remember me.
50:36Castle to air!
50:43We will always be together.
50:47To the sea to the sky.
