[ROGER] God willing, I'll see you soon.
[EXPLOSION]
I love you all.
I'm very sorry to tell you
that Ben is dead.
Ben.
[RACHEL] There was a massacre.
The Mohawk leader, Joseph Brant,
led a raid on a rebel town.
The Continentals retaliated.
[YOUNG IAN] Marched along
the Susquehanna River.
Is that not where Shadow Lake
lies, with thy former wife?
Wahionhaweh and Swiftest of Lizards
I need to know what happened to them.
[RACHEL] Oggy and I will come with thee.
There's a redcoat officer
named Ferguson.
I know about him.
[WHITAKER]
Cunningham means to attack you,
and take you to him.
[GUNSHOT]

[ELSPETH] Will he live?
I think so, but he might not
be able to walk.
Aah!
- I didn't think you'd come.
- We should talk.
[CLAIRE] Send for the devil,
the devil appears.
[GROANING]
[WHEEZES]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Good morning, Captain.
I couldn't tell you
what time of day it is,
but "good" it most certainly is not.
Fortunately, for you,
you've lived to see another day.
[CUNNINGHAM] I never doubted I would.
With or without your help,
it's not my time.
What's that awful smell?
Loss of bowel and bladder control
is to be expected
with your type of injury.
[CUNNINGHAM BREATHING HEAVILY]
I need to get up.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What did you do to me?
I removed the musket ball
from your back,
but it had done quite a lot of damage.
I take it you still have
no sensation in your legs?
No.
I'll get some clean linen.
My Charlie.
Tell me what must be done.
Have you seen anyone
in this condition before?
Yes.
It's extremely unlikely
that you'll ever walk again.
I
I'll never walk?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
But you'll continue to have the use
- of your arms and upper body.

But beyond that
only time will tell.

[JOSIAH] And we rode as if
there were devils at our backs.
Managed to cut the men from the 96 off
right at the border of the Ridge
twenty or so of them.
A skirmish broke out
nothing we couldn't handle, of course.
Was it, Mr. Cleveland?
No. I don't like to brag
but since dead men tell no tales
They've all been killed?
You have nothing to fear
from them any longer.
Let's put it that way.
Take heart.
A bit of Loyalist blood
is good for the soil.
It appears you took no pleasure
whatsoever in the fight.
Well, there's sport in it.
I won't lie.
I warned you
to make an example
out of those gunrunning sons of bitches.
Aye, you did.
We heard you caught Cunningham,
brought him here.
He still alive?
For now.
Well, I hope you make the most of it.
Make a show of him.
String him up,
and no one will ever cross you again.
I have it in hand, Mr. Cleveland.
Considering how you spoke
to me when last we met,
I had half a mind to sit back
and watch you dangle
from the end of a rope.
But here we are.
You owe me, Mr. Fraser.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
Aye.
♪
[FRANK] It's your own fault.
You knew his help would come
with a price.
♪
You have my word.
♪
Well
what do you have to say
for yourself, then, Captain?
Where are my men?
They're alive, if that's
what you're wondering,
waiting on me to decide their fate.
You had your wife save me,
so that you could have
the cruel pleasure
of seeing me put to death.
Is that it?
Are you going to kill me?
Not sure I can kill you.
Then you believe what I said
that I will not go home to the Lord
for five more years?
No.
It's only, my wife won't allow
me to harm you
while you're still in her care.
And how long will that be?
Perhaps you should just have
your revenge now.
I'm not dead.
But I may as well be.
I'm not sure I can stand it,
knowing the day is coming,
unable to change my stars.
I've always been able-bodied
a soldier.
I imagined perhaps
I would be slain in battle.
Aye.
More honor in that.
♪
But you have made your bed, Captain.
So now you must lie in it.
You will remain in my custody here
until I can determine a more
appropriate fate for you.

Well, perhaps it is fairer to
say that this place knows thee.
I can envision thee hunting, camping,
and feasting here
with the other men.
Killed my first wolverine
with a bow and arrow
just a stone's throw from here.
I was born at Shadow Lake
born a second time, I mean.
Died a death there, too.
Thee forgot to say "married."
We'll stay here tonight.
I'll start to prepare the camp.
I know thee loved Emily.
Don't be afraid to speak of her,
especially in these circumstances.
If she's beautiful
you may say so.
She was beautiful.
Aye.
I think of her now and then
not often.
Why should thee not think of her?
She was the mother of thy children
a woman who shared thy bed,
thy body
and a good bit of thy soul, did she not?
But our souls weren't meant to be one.

I wonder if hers is
still with us.
I'm so sorry.

"I didn't mean to be here,

Jesus Christ. What is this?
It's hard to explain.
When Francis Marion refused
to help with the guns,
I felt
so defeated.
We'd come all this way.
But when I looked around
at the men, I felt
I was overcome
with a-with a sense of purpose,
of-of renewed conviction.
You couldn't leave them.
[ROGER] No, not like that
desperate and dying
in a godforsaken place.
And I-I mean that
in the truest sense of the word.
The gunfire
the cannons
it reminded me of going
through the stones, actually
that fear of being torn apart,
of something pulling at you.
You feel your skull will fly to
Don't, Roger, please.
I- I don't want to know
how close you came to death.
My heart can't take it.
It's all right.
I promise.
But I need to tell you,
if that's okay
[BRIANNA SNIFFLES]
because it made me realize something.
I want to be ordained.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]
But you had so many doubts.
[ROGER] Aye, I know.
There was a loud blast
near the end of the battle
close to me, a cannon blast.
Sent me flying.
But I remembered
the sensation of falling
just for a split second as a boy

It was the night my mother died.

I never understood how I got out alive.
We'd gone to shelter

Ralph Bleeker.
It's pronounced "Rafe."
And it's "General Bleeker" to you, sir.
[WILLIAM] You're a damned coward.
You couldn't just change your
coat and be straight about it.
No, you had to pretend to be dead,
kill your whole family with grief.
Think about it, Willie.
Which would my father prefer
that I was dead
or that I'd joined the Continental Army?
That would bloody kill him.
Or he'd kill you.
So
what was it?
Rank, General Bleeker?
Can't have been money.
[BLEEKER] Heard of a man
called Thomas Paine?
He's a writer, was employed by
His Majesty's Board of Excise
but was dismissed and started
thinking about politics.
As one does when unemployed, I suppose.
I met him in a tavern in Philadelphia.
I thought he was interesting
intense, I suppose you'd say.
Then when I was taken prisoner,
I had occasion to read his pamphlet.
It's called Common Sense.
And it is common sense, damn it.
I became convinced that the
Americans were in the right,
and I couldn't in conscience fight
on the side of tyranny any longer.
You arrogant prick.
You've smeared your whole
family with excrement.
That's why I changed my name
and had word sent that I died,
for God's sake.
Even went so far as to have
a grave marked with my name,
- should anyone come looking.
- Well, someone did.
I did, you bloody fool.
I dug up that grave
in the middle of the night.
And you weren't in it
though now I wish to God you had been.
You're proving my point
remarkably well, William.

You know, then?
So Uncle John did let her stay with him.

I'm sorry.
My own village burned
to the ground as well.
And the people? Were they able to flee?
[AHRONIAWONRATEH] Some.
Our scouts learned
of the impending attack.
Kaheroton, among others,
rode out to meet the Continentals.
They perished.
But their brave sacrifice allowed time
for others in the villages to escape,

Can you think of anything I've left out?
No, uh, think that's enough.
Would you really shoot them
if they came back?
These men betrayed me,
hunted me like a wild animal
across my own land,
all for the sake of what
they call, king's justice.
If they come within my sight
or my land again,
aye, I will kill them.
Well, I don't think
they'd be foolish enough
- to try anything again.
- [JAMIE] Mm.
Many of our tenants are still
deciding which way they'll go.
And they'll be watching me
to see, am I weak?
Will I fall?
What about the women and their children?
They shouldn't be punished for
their husbands' transgressions.
What will they do without their homes
and their land?
Where will they go?
A good husband would've thought of that,
and a wise one
would've listened to his wife.
Well, you can't be sure
that they did know about it
just because you consult with your wife.

I regret what happened at Lodge.
Is that supposed to be

I did what I thought I had to.
I didn't act against you personally.
Oh, aye.
Captain Cunningham had convinced me
it's impossible to fight
the King's army and prevail.
'Tis folly to side
with the Continentals,

When I read of the attack
on Shadow Lake, I had to come.
I need to know what happened

You forfeited the right
to that knowledge

I didna leave the Mohawk
to join the rebel cause.
I was told to leave.
I didna want to go at all.
But that doesna matter.
I cannae go on
without knowing whether Wahionhaweh
and her children live.
And what does your current wife
have to say about that?
The Spirit has moved him
to look for them.
[YOUNG IAN] If they are dead,
then tell me
so that I may mourn.
Need I remind you that it was
in fact the Continental Army
who burned the village?
Aye, in retaliation
for the brutal massacre
at Cherry Valley,
which you participated in.
If the Continentals
hadn't launched an assault
on the Iroquois village of
Onaquaga in the first place,
I would never have had to
All who take the sword
shall perish by it.
War is an endless perpetuation

who listens to his wife.
Particularly when he has had
two of them.
And both are still living.

not for ourselves but for our bairns.
Please.
Get up, for God's sake.
Your husbands put you up to this?
Our husbands forbade us to come,
said they'd beat us if
we stepped a foot out of doors.
But we willna stand for it.
They'd sacrifice us and their bairns
for the sake of their stubborn pride.
So we came anyway.
Your husbands are fools and cowards.
And they'll pay the price
for their foolishness.
They ken what they were risking
when they cast their lots
with Cunningham.
And that's a-a risk
they should never have taken.
I put them out for good cause.
[MRS. CROMBIE] We understand
why you banished them.
And we ken even better the kindness
ye've always shown our families.
You repaid my kindness by betraying me.
Our husbands acted
without our knowledge
betrayed us as well.
I'm sorry for ye.
Please
dinna send us away.
We'll do anything,
whatever you ask of us.
We'll swear an oath
that our husbands will never
raise hand nor voice
against you in any matter.
And how exactly do you mean to guarantee
this good behavior?
I suppose your wife could answer that
for you, Mr. Fraser.
We have our ways.
If they refuse to conduct themselves
in a manner befitting honorable men

[BRIANNA] All right, sweetheart.
[BRANT] Bold of you to return,
I must admit.
I do not feel bold.
I feel afraid.
Why?
Because I must beg that thee
allow Ian to see Wahionhaweh.
He must.
[SIGHS]
And you are afraid of this because
you do not trust him.
I cannot say whether it is him
I do not trust or myself.
But that is what I shall find out.
I have burned with a jealousy
I did not know I was capable of.
But I do not wish to be consumed by it.

I fear Ian's love for Wahionhaweh

Kindly step forward, please, ladies.

Your wives can purchase meat from them.
But
No one is forcing you to stay here.
[MRS. CROMBIE] 'Tis true.
Please, Mr. Fraser,
continue with what you were saying.
I willna have men on my land
that may plot against me.
But I will write new contracts
between myself
and each of you ladies
for the tenancy of the land.
[CROWD MURMURING]
Mind, this means each of you
are responsible for the rents
and other terms of the contract.
And if you want to accept
your husbands' advice and help,
all well and good.
But the land is yours, not his.
And if he proves false
either to you or to me,
he will answer for it to me,
even unto death.
We agree, Mr. Fraser,
and accept your terms.
Thank ye.

we are so very grateful.
