1
00:01:10,787 --> 00:01:12,290
Order arms!
2
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:21,518
After eight long years.
3
00:01:22,284 --> 00:01:25,382
The curtain of separation
is about to be drawn.
4
00:01:26,203 --> 00:01:28,877
The military scene closed forever.
5
00:01:29,875 --> 00:01:32,181
You have been valiant soldiers.
6
00:01:32,942 --> 00:01:34,875
You have met every hardship.
7
00:01:35,484 --> 00:01:38,494
Even the extremes of
hunger and nakedness.
8
00:01:39,167 --> 00:01:42,190
With extraordinary
patience and fortitude.
9
00:01:43,379 --> 00:01:47,884
The unbiased voice of the free
citizens of the United States.
10
00:01:48,574 --> 00:01:51,759
Has promised you a just reward.
11
00:01:52,695 --> 00:01:55,107
The money due to you brave men.
12
00:01:55,702 --> 00:01:57,657
Must inevitably be paid.
13
00:01:58,891 --> 00:02:02,976
You are going forth to mingle with
the great body of the community.
14
00:02:03,572 --> 00:02:05,816
Some of you, through
the pursuit of commerce.
15
00:02:06,926 --> 00:02:09,252
Some to the cultivation of the soil.
16
00:02:09,887 --> 00:02:11,360
Others, to the fisheries.
17
00:02:12,135 --> 00:02:16,288
And some of you, actuated
by the spirit of adventure ..
18
00:02:16,659 --> 00:02:21,052
Will push on to the vast,
unknown regions of the West.
19
00:02:22,512 --> 00:02:24,470
It is my earnest opinion.
20
00:02:24,838 --> 00:02:27,756
That upon your patriotic
support of the Union.
21
00:02:28,129 --> 00:02:29,598
And the federal government.
22
00:02:30,190 --> 00:02:34,070
Our future existence
as a nation .. depends.
23
00:02:34,802 --> 00:02:35,583
And so ..
24
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:39,665
Your General offers his
prayer to the God of armies.
25
00:02:40,403 --> 00:02:42,995
That ample justice be done to you all.
26
00:02:43,948 --> 00:02:47,632
You who have secured
great blessings for others.
27
00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:50,229
And bid you all.
28
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:52,092
An affectionate.
29
00:02:53,203 --> 00:02:55,097
A <i>long</i> farewell.
30
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:21,068
Tell Colonel Hamilton
I should like to see him.
31
00:03:23,163 --> 00:03:24,658
General.
? Oh, there you are.
32
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:26,934
Well, I've parted with the men.
33
00:03:27,394 --> 00:03:29,078
Yes .. I heard you.
34
00:03:29,441 --> 00:03:31,383
It was a hard job saying goodbye.
35
00:03:33,139 --> 00:03:35,973
But not as hard as it will be
to part with you, Alexander.
36
00:03:37,595 --> 00:03:40,245
No-one will ever know what you've
meant to me in this campaign.
37
00:03:40,938 --> 00:03:42,441
You've given me a kind of support.
38
00:03:43,051 --> 00:03:45,730
Not only as a soldier
but .. your advice.
39
00:03:47,023 --> 00:03:48,920
It's hard to put these
things into words.
40
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:51,105
But I thank you for it.
41
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:53,133
And I love you for it.
42
00:03:54,216 --> 00:03:54,945
General.
43
00:03:56,316 --> 00:03:58,397
Well, I suppose you'll
be going back to the law?
44
00:03:59,423 --> 00:04:01,606
I am not so sure.
What are you going to do?
45
00:04:02,052 --> 00:04:05,323
Go back to Mount Vernon as
fast as my legs will carry me.
46
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:06,685
Home.
47
00:04:07,152 --> 00:04:08,107
And a garden.
48
00:04:08,466 --> 00:04:10,503
And a river running along
at the foot of my ground.
49
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:13,533
Thank heaven the war is over.
50
00:04:14,186 --> 00:04:14,944
Over.
51
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:18,483
Well, we've just
signed a treaty of peace.
52
00:04:19,031 --> 00:04:20,852
Don't tell me there's
another fight ahead.
53
00:04:21,115 --> 00:04:22,823
You now that for you and for me ..
54
00:04:23,128 --> 00:04:24,746
The struggle is only just beginning.
55
00:04:25,158 --> 00:04:26,145
For you, perhaps.
56
00:04:26,961 --> 00:04:28,436
But my work is finished.
57
00:04:29,194 --> 00:04:30,543
While the war was on.
58
00:04:30,857 --> 00:04:33,589
The 13 States were held
together by a common cause.
59
00:04:34,202 --> 00:04:36,094
But now, the war is over.
60
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,442
And we shall have 13 jealous States
ready to fly for another's throats.
61
00:04:41,739 --> 00:04:42,940
Ha, that's true.
62
00:04:43,939 --> 00:04:45,216
Soldiers have to be paid.
63
00:04:45,866 --> 00:04:48,380
You just promised them their
money. Who will pay them?
64
00:04:49,091 --> 00:04:51,614
Each State will try to shift the
responsibility on to the other.
65
00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:56,564
America will be without credit and
without honor among nations.
66
00:04:57,277 --> 00:05:00,226
Unless it has a great leader who
has gained the country's confidence.
67
00:05:01,164 --> 00:05:03,981
General Washington, there is
only one man for the post.
68
00:05:05,269 --> 00:05:08,911
You always were the darnedest
devil for facing facts, Alexander.
69
00:05:09,429 --> 00:05:11,173
Won't you let me die in peace?
70
00:05:11,383 --> 00:05:13,193
General, I won't let you die at all.
71
00:05:13,396 --> 00:05:14,640
Then you must stand by me.
72
00:05:15,371 --> 00:05:17,369
For I don't know the
way to fight politicians.
73
00:05:17,955 --> 00:05:19,434
We are both tired of fighting.
74
00:05:19,907 --> 00:05:21,440
But we can neither of us give up ..
75
00:05:21,786 --> 00:05:23,758
Until this country has paid its debts.
76
00:05:24,129 --> 00:05:25,958
At home .. and abroad.
77
00:05:40,306 --> 00:05:42,026
What good did the war do us?
78
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,301
Independence .. liberty.
79
00:05:45,031 --> 00:05:46,955
Ha .. things are worse than ever.
80
00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:48,737
Where is the Army pay?
81
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:50,797
This is all I got.
82
00:05:51,886 --> 00:05:54,650
"<i>The State of South
Carolina promises to pay</i> .."
83
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:57,161
"<i>Harvey Taylor the sum
of one hundred dollars</i>."
84
00:05:57,429 --> 00:05:59,320
That's eight years ago
and they ain't paid yet.
85
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:01,768
Here is the same thing from
the State of Connecticut.
86
00:06:02,051 --> 00:06:05,512
Those certificates today are not
worth ten cents on the open market.
87
00:06:05,757 --> 00:06:09,321
Why hasn't Washington kept his word?
He promised we'd be paid.
88
00:06:09,421 --> 00:06:11,454
That was before they made him President.
89
00:06:11,692 --> 00:06:14,033
It ain't Washington. It's Hamilton.
90
00:06:14,325 --> 00:06:15,312
What do you mean?
91
00:06:15,638 --> 00:06:17,984
Washington does what Hamilton tells him.
92
00:06:18,277 --> 00:06:20,684
They are both crooked if you ask me.
? I agree.
93
00:06:20,997 --> 00:06:23,646
Hello, Reynolds.
? Hello, Zachary Whalen.
94
00:06:23,888 --> 00:06:26,567
You'd agree with anyone who
was willing to buy you a drink.
95
00:06:27,048 --> 00:06:28,357
Melissa, some ale.
96
00:06:29,387 --> 00:06:32,587
Alexander Hamilton has been
made Secretary of the Treasury.
97
00:06:32,687 --> 00:06:34,209
And he don't do a darned thing.
98
00:06:34,858 --> 00:06:36,395
He did one darn good thing.
99
00:06:37,069 --> 00:06:40,926
You had a job in the Treasury and he
gave you the sack for dishonesty.
100
00:06:41,347 --> 00:06:42,657
Now I can explain that.
101
00:06:42,757 --> 00:06:45,560
Why don't Hamilton see that
these certificates are paid?
102
00:06:45,957 --> 00:06:49,332
All he does is sit in his
office and put down figures.
103
00:06:49,550 --> 00:06:50,794
What good will that do us?
104
00:06:50,894 --> 00:06:52,882
There ain't enough money
in the Treasury to pay us.
105
00:06:52,982 --> 00:06:54,190
Well, why ain't there?
106
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:57,996
Because the Senators are always
fighting against one another.
107
00:06:58,834 --> 00:07:01,221
Alexander Hamilton and
George Washington ..
108
00:07:01,321 --> 00:07:03,428
Are the only two men
with brains in the country.
109
00:07:03,676 --> 00:07:04,451
Oh.
110
00:07:04,979 --> 00:07:07,951
What about Jefferson?
? And Monroe, and Senator Roberts?
111
00:07:08,185 --> 00:07:10,574
They'll be another bloody revolution
in this country before long.
112
00:07:10,714 --> 00:07:13,087
And it won't be against a foreign power.
? Shut up, Reynolds.
113
00:07:13,583 --> 00:07:15,405
Where were <i>you</i> during the war?
114
00:07:15,809 --> 00:07:18,134
You never did a days
fighting in your life.
115
00:07:18,329 --> 00:07:19,065
Oh ..
116
00:07:33,607 --> 00:07:35,370
Well, there is no use arguing about it.
117
00:07:35,844 --> 00:07:38,451
I object to Alexander
Hamilton's high-handed ways.
118
00:07:39,169 --> 00:07:41,096
Who is he to call us all
here together today?
119
00:07:41,324 --> 00:07:42,290
Senator Roberts.
120
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:44,321
We should have refused to come.
? Senator Monroe.
121
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:47,212
We cannot afford to ignore
Hamilton's importance.
122
00:07:47,693 --> 00:07:49,703
Although his energies
are perhaps, misdirected.
123
00:07:49,966 --> 00:07:52,270
Mr Jefferson.
Senator Roberts is right.
124
00:07:52,955 --> 00:07:54,538
Hamilton has his finger in every pie.
125
00:07:54,761 --> 00:07:57,034
And we don't want any
more Kings in this country.
126
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:58,040
Kings.
127
00:07:58,515 --> 00:08:01,300
Who wishes to be King?
? George Washington does.
128
00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:03,883
And Alexander Hamilton
wants to be Prime Minister.
129
00:08:04,295 --> 00:08:07,093
Wants to be. He <i>is</i> Prime
Minister at this very moment.
130
00:08:07,438 --> 00:08:09,522
Prime Minister of America. Ha!
131
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:11,324
Come, come.
Don't let's lose our tempers.
132
00:08:12,063 --> 00:08:15,660
Mr Hamilton no doubt called this meeting
for more debate upon his Assumption Bill.
133
00:08:15,979 --> 00:08:17,578
That Bill is an outrage!
134
00:08:17,792 --> 00:08:19,612
Let every State pay its <i>own</i> debts.
135
00:08:20,135 --> 00:08:22,488
Why should North Carolina
pay the debts of Connecticut?
136
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:25,724
We've always blocked that Bill, and will
continue to block it to the last ditch.
137
00:08:25,824 --> 00:08:28,100
Yes .. Hamilton's efforts are dangerous.
138
00:08:28,728 --> 00:08:31,432
Because they are always directed towards
a centralization of the government.
139
00:08:31,532 --> 00:08:34,502
And that would lead to monarchy. The
very thing we fought to get away from.
140
00:08:34,785 --> 00:08:36,780
Ah, there you are, Mr Hamilton.
141
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,327
Gentlemen, I trust I'm not late.
142
00:08:38,529 --> 00:08:40,612
It's exceedingly kind of you
to respond so quickly ..
143
00:08:40,712 --> 00:08:42,779
Cut the fol-de-roll and
get down to business.
144
00:08:43,351 --> 00:08:45,309
Mr Roberts, I'm afraid
I interrupted you.
145
00:08:45,617 --> 00:08:46,759
Won't you sit down?
146
00:08:47,955 --> 00:08:50,260
That is the chair that President
Washington always sits in.
147
00:08:52,831 --> 00:08:55,754
Gentlemen, what I want ..
? We know what you want.
148
00:08:56,274 --> 00:08:58,894
Your game is to keep on
strengthening the federal government ..
149
00:08:59,115 --> 00:09:01,300
Until the States shall eventually
have no rights at all.
150
00:09:01,533 --> 00:09:03,957
My game is to establish
the credit of this country ..
151
00:09:04,337 --> 00:09:05,982
So that it can trade with other nations.
152
00:09:06,378 --> 00:09:09,111
And it is a game which
requires at least four players.
153
00:09:10,038 --> 00:09:11,941
Do you know, Mister
Secretary of the Treasury ..
154
00:09:12,378 --> 00:09:14,988
I am opposed to any attempt
at centralisation of power.
155
00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:16,954
And for the same reason ..
156
00:09:17,126 --> 00:09:19,663
I'm opposed to your scheme for the
establishment of a national bank.
157
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:22,565
National bank? Rubbish. A wild idea.
158
00:09:22,898 --> 00:09:25,805
And besides, it is not constitutional.
? Well, it's all part of my policy.
159
00:09:26,019 --> 00:09:27,392
What <i>is</i> your policy?
160
00:09:27,492 --> 00:09:29,563
I can tell you in one
word, Senator Roberts.
161
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,656
Honesty.
162
00:09:31,359 --> 00:09:34,797
You may remember that line in your
copybook : "Honesty is the best policy."
163
00:09:35,596 --> 00:09:38,573
I mean, in your college days.
Before you became a politician.
164
00:09:38,762 --> 00:09:42,200
I never went to college.
We can't all be aristocrats.
165
00:09:42,845 --> 00:09:43,693
Mr Hamilton.
166
00:09:44,134 --> 00:09:46,307
I stand on the platform
of the rights of man.
167
00:09:46,742 --> 00:09:48,227
The rights of the individual.
168
00:09:48,436 --> 00:09:50,026
The rights of the individual States.
169
00:09:50,129 --> 00:09:52,544
"Honesty is the best policy"
applies to States ..
170
00:09:52,917 --> 00:09:54,619
Just as surely as it
does to individuals.
171
00:09:54,933 --> 00:09:57,909
It is a policy for the
United States to pay its debts.
172
00:09:58,128 --> 00:10:00,447
The gravest danger that
threatens America today.
173
00:10:00,912 --> 00:10:04,486
Rests with those men who are striving to
centralize the power of the United States.
174
00:10:04,586 --> 00:10:06,917
How are we going to pay our debts
without a central government?
175
00:10:07,119 --> 00:10:08,705
This country has no credit abroad.
176
00:10:08,805 --> 00:10:10,574
It's the laughing
stock of other nations.
177
00:10:10,674 --> 00:10:12,756
It's paper isn't worth
five cents in the dollar.
178
00:10:13,212 --> 00:10:13,955
Why?
179
00:10:14,223 --> 00:10:16,123
Because as a nation,
we are not to be trusted.
180
00:10:16,322 --> 00:10:18,909
We haven't paid the merchants
who gave us credit during the war.
181
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:22,010
We haven't paid our soldiers who fought
for our liberties. ? Soldiers?
182
00:10:22,110 --> 00:10:25,778
This country will put a stop to George
Washington's coddling of the army.
183
00:10:26,151 --> 00:10:28,115
He treats them as if they
were his own relatives.
184
00:10:28,215 --> 00:10:30,068
I'm sure you're not
comfortable in that chair.
185
00:10:30,168 --> 00:10:32,706
No, I'm <i>not</i> comfortable in this chair.
186
00:10:33,982 --> 00:10:35,784
I wasn't made to occupy a throne.
187
00:10:37,414 --> 00:10:38,753
Virginia paid <i>her</i> soldiers.
188
00:10:38,853 --> 00:10:41,306
That saved the honor of Virginia,
but not the honor of the nation.
189
00:10:41,611 --> 00:10:43,900
Has South Carolina paid her
soldiers? Has Rhode Island?
190
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,376
That's no affair of Virginia.
191
00:10:45,476 --> 00:10:48,465
We're not going to pick the pockets of
one State to pay the debts of another.
192
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,213
Each State fought for the common good.
193
00:10:50,423 --> 00:10:53,775
Every man must be paid.
Gentlemen, we are building a nation.
194
00:10:54,249 --> 00:10:57,240
Let us build strongly. Let us
build on a foundation of honor.
195
00:10:57,424 --> 00:10:59,012
You plead for the honor of the nation.
196
00:10:59,272 --> 00:11:01,287
I plead for the rights
of the individual.
197
00:11:01,569 --> 00:11:03,612
Do you realize the rights of
the people are at stake?
198
00:11:03,869 --> 00:11:05,347
The only safety for any people ..
199
00:11:05,671 --> 00:11:07,858
Is in a government that
can pay the nation's debts.
200
00:11:08,258 --> 00:11:10,096
You mean, by passing
your Assumption Bill?
201
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,379
Yes, gentlemen.
202
00:11:11,627 --> 00:11:14,042
That was my object in
calling you together today.
203
00:11:15,115 --> 00:11:17,304
With your permission then,
Mr Secretary of the Treasury ..
204
00:11:18,151 --> 00:11:19,840
I will withdraw.
? And I.
205
00:11:27,178 --> 00:11:28,308
I am bound to confess.
206
00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:30,836
That I consider your
attempt to force this Bill ..
207
00:11:31,242 --> 00:11:33,794
Nothing more than a trick to give
greater power to the central body.
208
00:11:34,328 --> 00:11:36,502
And to ruthlessly crush the
freedom of the States.
209
00:11:37,501 --> 00:11:39,495
At least, Mr Secretary of State ..
210
00:11:39,928 --> 00:11:42,887
I have had the pleasure of listening
with admiration to your eloquence.
211
00:11:51,237 --> 00:11:52,506
Aye, you're right there.
212
00:11:53,257 --> 00:11:55,593
Tom Jefferson is an
all-fired good talker.
213
00:11:56,944 --> 00:11:58,075
You know, Hamilton.
214
00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:01,670
There are some things about
this Bill of yours that ain't so bad.
215
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:05,233
Coming from you, Senator Roberts,
I consider that a compliment.
216
00:12:05,811 --> 00:12:06,810
I don't know.
217
00:12:07,501 --> 00:12:10,029
I might be persuaded to change my vote.
218
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:13,817
You'd like my vote,
wouldn't you, Colonel?
219
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:15,016
I should indeed.
220
00:12:15,421 --> 00:12:17,352
And I should like your
influence with your party.
221
00:12:17,623 --> 00:12:18,381
You know.
222
00:12:19,246 --> 00:12:21,850
I can swing enough votes
to put your Bill through.
223
00:12:22,537 --> 00:12:24,738
And I'll do it. But on one condition.
224
00:12:24,970 --> 00:12:26,257
Don't make it hard for me.
225
00:12:26,357 --> 00:12:28,294
I won't make it hard for
you. I'll make it easy.
226
00:12:28,505 --> 00:12:32,237
Now .. in that copybook of yours,
when you was at college.
227
00:12:32,541 --> 00:12:34,498
Do you remember that line about ..
228
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:36,970
"A fair exchange is no robbery"?
229
00:12:38,045 --> 00:12:41,037
I'm not sure that you and I were
brought up on the same copybook.
230
00:12:41,218 --> 00:12:42,491
Now listen to me, Hamilton.
231
00:12:42,945 --> 00:12:45,176
The President always asks your advice.
232
00:12:45,847 --> 00:12:49,236
If you will say that Tim Roberts is
the right man for Minister to France.
233
00:12:49,663 --> 00:12:51,537
Tim Roberts will put
through your Bill for you.
234
00:12:52,966 --> 00:12:54,010
Minister to France?
235
00:12:54,329 --> 00:12:56,172
Oh, I see. You don't
think I'm good enough.
236
00:12:57,501 --> 00:12:59,453
I don't think you're fitted for it.
? Why not?
237
00:12:59,829 --> 00:13:01,510
With the revolution going on over there.
238
00:13:01,807 --> 00:13:04,571
The task of our Minister is
probably the most delicate ..
239
00:13:04,768 --> 00:13:06,929
Oh, I ain't delicate enough? What else?
240
00:13:07,877 --> 00:13:10,008
You're not making it easy for me.
? I want your reasons.
241
00:13:10,261 --> 00:13:12,425
I prefer not to give them.
? What have you against me?
242
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:13,712
Speak up.
? Everything!
243
00:13:14,109 --> 00:13:16,595
I know your record during
the war. Dishonest business.
244
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:18,653
You compelled me to speak.
245
00:13:18,944 --> 00:13:20,585
The United States Minister to France ..
246
00:13:20,849 --> 00:13:23,097
Must be a man of <i>unblemished reputation</i>.
247
00:13:24,583 --> 00:13:26,482
Alright, Mr Hamilton.
248
00:13:27,533 --> 00:13:28,862
You're a fighter, ain't you.
249
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,635
Well, so am I.
250
00:13:31,334 --> 00:13:33,090
From now on, you're fighting me!
251
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,774
Get your Bill through if you can.
252
00:13:36,352 --> 00:13:37,178
Go on.
253
00:13:41,186 --> 00:13:43,693
Senator. Remember .. your copybook.
254
00:13:44,114 --> 00:13:46,675
Don't forget .. there is
honor among thieves.
255
00:13:54,453 --> 00:13:57,352
Here is Senator Roberts.
<i>He's </i>a friend of the people.
256
00:14:01,107 --> 00:14:03,683
Fellow citizens. You are right.
257
00:14:04,546 --> 00:14:06,266
I <i>am</i> your friend.
258
00:14:08,648 --> 00:14:12,607
And I'm going to do everything
in my power .. to help you.
259
00:14:16,576 --> 00:14:20,741
I've just been talking to our
Secretary of the Treasury.
260
00:14:21,771 --> 00:14:24,374
I didn't get much
satisfaction out of him.
261
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,909
Hamilton is an .. aristocrat!
262
00:14:38,927 --> 00:14:41,075
Down with Hamilton. Down with him.
263
00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:55,667
What made you do that?
264
00:14:55,767 --> 00:14:58,072
Senator Roberts said
you wouldn't help us.
265
00:14:59,379 --> 00:15:00,321
He told us.
266
00:15:04,706 --> 00:15:06,206
Were you a soldier?
? Yes.
267
00:15:06,974 --> 00:15:08,050
You nearly got me.
268
00:15:08,426 --> 00:15:09,909
He must have been a sharpshooter.
269
00:15:13,518 --> 00:15:15,728
Were any of you men at
Monmouth or Trenton?
270
00:15:15,946 --> 00:15:17,029
Yes, I was there.
271
00:15:17,493 --> 00:15:19,096
We pretty near got licked.
272
00:15:22,509 --> 00:15:24,841
Were any of you at Valley Forge?
273
00:15:25,863 --> 00:15:26,952
Yes, plenty.
274
00:15:27,289 --> 00:15:29,755
I nearly froze to death. Froze my foot.
275
00:15:31,450 --> 00:15:33,237
You trusted Washington.
276
00:15:34,054 --> 00:15:36,626
Through those days of cold and hunger.
277
00:15:37,523 --> 00:15:38,732
You must trust him now.
278
00:15:39,513 --> 00:15:40,671
He's still your friend.
279
00:15:41,131 --> 00:15:42,784
Just as he was then.
? He's right.
280
00:15:43,422 --> 00:15:45,461
If any man had good cause for complaint.
281
00:15:45,986 --> 00:15:47,926
Washington was the
first to listen to him.
282
00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:49,508
And give him justice.
283
00:15:49,789 --> 00:15:50,628
Wasn't he?
284
00:15:53,834 --> 00:15:55,399
A cheer for Washington!
285
00:16:10,642 --> 00:16:11,527
Let him go.
286
00:16:13,175 --> 00:16:14,622
A cheer for Hamilton!
287
00:16:32,864 --> 00:16:33,889
Hello, Zekial.
288
00:16:34,148 --> 00:16:35,738
Why .. Master Hamilton.
289
00:16:36,424 --> 00:16:37,762
You've come at last.
290
00:16:38,173 --> 00:16:40,530
You'd better don't let
Miss Betsy see you.
291
00:16:40,962 --> 00:16:42,738
You scallywag. What do you mean?
292
00:16:43,182 --> 00:16:45,145
Where is your Mistress?
? Bless my soul.
293
00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:47,716
She's looking out of the window
for you most of the time.
294
00:16:47,934 --> 00:16:49,581
Am I late, Zekial?
? You sure is.
295
00:16:49,781 --> 00:16:52,224
You was more than late
for tea, Master Hamilton.
296
00:16:52,421 --> 00:16:54,625
Is that you, Amiable?
? Here I am, Betsy.
297
00:16:54,895 --> 00:16:56,093
Zekial is detaining me.
298
00:17:00,144 --> 00:17:01,590
Betsy.
? Amiable.
299
00:17:04,976 --> 00:17:06,306
I'm afraid I'm late, darling.
300
00:17:06,413 --> 00:17:08,698
You've got too much to do.
That's what's the matter.
301
00:17:09,139 --> 00:17:10,297
Is the foreign mail in?
302
00:17:10,544 --> 00:17:12,730
Yes. But there is no news of sister.
303
00:17:14,694 --> 00:17:15,969
No news is good news.
304
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,265
Well .. how did the conference go off?
305
00:17:20,505 --> 00:17:21,508
A grand success.
306
00:17:21,796 --> 00:17:22,812
Why, I am so glad.
307
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:25,789
Yes. Everybody talked and
nobody said anything.
308
00:17:25,969 --> 00:17:28,247
Nothing was done and everybody
was pleased with themselves.
309
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:29,741
Oh, Alexander.
310
00:17:30,089 --> 00:17:32,858
A great deal of mud was thrown
at me .. but only one stone.
311
00:17:33,246 --> 00:17:34,433
And I dodged everything.
312
00:17:34,612 --> 00:17:36,959
What do you mean? Not really a stone?
313
00:17:37,124 --> 00:17:38,583
Well, it might have been a brick.
314
00:17:38,829 --> 00:17:40,960
You see, when things are
flung at the Assumption Bill ..
315
00:17:41,097 --> 00:17:42,341
They have to hit me first.
316
00:17:42,456 --> 00:17:44,258
Oh .. then we had music.
317
00:17:44,908 --> 00:17:45,809
Music?
? Yes.
318
00:17:46,147 --> 00:17:47,248
Jefferson sang to us.
319
00:17:47,945 --> 00:17:48,741
Sang?
320
00:17:50,003 --> 00:17:51,907
Well .. he didn't exactly sing.
321
00:17:52,754 --> 00:17:55,296
But he made fine oratorical speeches.
322
00:17:55,535 --> 00:17:57,473
And he listened to
the music of his voice.
323
00:18:00,466 --> 00:18:01,994
How long is this going to last?
324
00:18:03,121 --> 00:18:06,083
When am I really going to see
something of you in our own home?
325
00:18:06,626 --> 00:18:07,803
Very soon dear, I hope.
326
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:12,023
Just as soon as I can get those
thirteen States to hang together.
327
00:18:12,384 --> 00:18:13,525
I'm not complaining.
328
00:18:14,201 --> 00:18:17,600
But I sometimes wish you didn't
care quite so much for your country.
329
00:18:18,103 --> 00:18:18,801
Betsy.
330
00:18:18,901 --> 00:18:20,391
Zekial, where is your Mistress?
331
00:18:20,491 --> 00:18:22,579
Having tea, General.
? Alright, Zekial.
332
00:18:22,876 --> 00:18:23,956
I'll go straight in.
333
00:18:25,593 --> 00:18:26,265
Betsy.
334
00:18:26,745 --> 00:18:28,178
Why father, what is the matter?
335
00:18:28,604 --> 00:18:31,559
I've had news from London.
? It's Angelica? Tell me.
336
00:18:31,851 --> 00:18:33,755
Yes Betsy, your sister is worse.
337
00:18:34,102 --> 00:18:35,137
She needs you.
338
00:18:35,314 --> 00:18:38,051
Her husband is there with her.
? Yes, but he writes me:
339
00:18:38,589 --> 00:18:41,058
"<i>She's always calling for Betsy</i>."
340
00:18:42,404 --> 00:18:43,505
Alexander, I must go.
341
00:18:43,989 --> 00:18:46,154
My dear.
? Yes, I must go to her.
342
00:18:46,996 --> 00:18:48,727
When is the next boat?
? Tomorrow morning.
343
00:18:48,901 --> 00:18:50,941
The William Pitt sails at early tide.
344
00:18:51,687 --> 00:18:52,273
Oh.
345
00:18:55,243 --> 00:18:56,678
Come and help me pack.
346
00:18:58,345 --> 00:19:00,553
That's my Betsy.
347
00:19:01,357 --> 00:19:02,670
Excuse me, father-in-law.
348
00:19:02,982 --> 00:19:04,292
That's <i>my</i> Betsy.
349
00:19:29,649 --> 00:19:30,735
Come along, father.
350
00:19:31,133 --> 00:19:32,962
Can I help you, father-in-law?
? I'm alright.
351
00:19:43,138 --> 00:19:44,497
A fine looking ship, isn't it.
352
00:19:45,106 --> 00:19:46,150
Yes, beautiful.
353
00:19:52,139 --> 00:19:53,710
Then I think you'd better go aboard.
354
00:19:57,288 --> 00:20:00,520
Are you sure you've got enough food
to last your Mistress the whole trip?
355
00:20:00,766 --> 00:20:02,220
Yes, sir. Them's the hams ..
356
00:20:02,561 --> 00:20:06,267
The smoked tongue, the dried
beef, and them's the best biscuits.
357
00:20:06,643 --> 00:20:08,910
Where is the tea?
? Right in here, General.
358
00:20:09,103 --> 00:20:11,160
Miss Betsy sure loves her tea.
359
00:20:11,356 --> 00:20:12,023
Aye.
360
00:20:15,622 --> 00:20:18,472
Be careful. Here, let me
take care of those eggs.
361
00:20:28,830 --> 00:20:30,258
Thank heaven they're not broken.
362
00:20:30,673 --> 00:20:32,271
Them eggs won't break, General.
363
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:34,501
Won't break?
? No, sir.
364
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,408
Because they is boiled.
365
00:20:37,637 --> 00:20:40,268
Goodbye, Zekial. You'll take good
care of your Master won't you.
366
00:20:40,523 --> 00:20:43,996
Indeed I will. And you take good
care of yourself, Miss Betsy.
367
00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:46,285
Goodbye, Betsy.
368
00:20:46,695 --> 00:20:47,789
Goodbye, father.
369
00:20:48,214 --> 00:20:48,874
I ..
370
00:20:52,619 --> 00:20:54,579
I'd better get down that gangplank.
371
00:20:56,332 --> 00:20:57,004
Betsy.
372
00:20:58,807 --> 00:20:59,994
This is from our garden.
373
00:21:00,767 --> 00:21:02,096
I picked them this morning.
374
00:21:02,832 --> 00:21:03,923
Rosemary.
375
00:21:04,642 --> 00:21:05,477
Yes, Betsy.
376
00:21:06,234 --> 00:21:07,192
For remembering.
377
00:21:10,713 --> 00:21:11,413
Sweet.
378
00:21:19,104 --> 00:21:20,876
<i>All visitors ashore</i>.
379
00:21:56,228 --> 00:21:57,899
I tell you one thing, Tom Jefferson.
380
00:21:58,353 --> 00:22:01,689
You've a fight on to get the capital
of the United States for the South.
381
00:22:01,967 --> 00:22:03,611
Yes. And I'm afraid it's a losing fight.
382
00:22:04,102 --> 00:22:05,933
I hope the South don't
count on it too much.
383
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:08,114
Well, Monroe will be able to tell us.
384
00:22:08,639 --> 00:22:10,569
If that coach ever gets here.
385
00:22:11,269 --> 00:22:12,199
Here it is now.
386
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:14,209
Late, as usual.
387
00:22:25,123 --> 00:22:26,058
My luggage.
388
00:22:27,988 --> 00:22:30,390
Well, howdy, Jim.
? Hello, Monroe.
389
00:22:30,711 --> 00:22:31,943
Come on, let's sit here.
390
00:22:32,489 --> 00:22:34,629
Well, what's the feeling about
the site of the capital?
391
00:22:34,729 --> 00:22:35,832
Yes, yes. What news?
392
00:22:35,932 --> 00:22:38,541
The news? The news is, I want a drink.
? Yes, of course.
393
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:41,013
What's the feeling of
the Southern States?
394
00:22:41,113 --> 00:22:45,947
I've been bumped and shaken over 700
miles of the worst roads in existence.
395
00:22:46,221 --> 00:22:47,419
I've visited every town.
396
00:22:47,609 --> 00:22:49,409
Every plantation of any importance.
397
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:50,836
Brandy.
? Yes, yes.
398
00:22:51,617 --> 00:22:53,547
There is just subject
on everybody's lips.
399
00:22:53,765 --> 00:22:57,490
That is that the capital of these United
States <i>has</i> to be located in the South.
400
00:22:57,679 --> 00:22:59,668
I thought so.
? It will be a fight to get it.
401
00:23:00,007 --> 00:23:02,252
Well it will be your last fight
Tom Jefferson, if you don't.
402
00:23:02,834 --> 00:23:04,765
You don't know how they
feel about it down there.
403
00:23:05,181 --> 00:23:07,961
They don't care about anything else.
And they don't talk about anything else.
404
00:23:09,185 --> 00:23:11,659
If you don't swing this, Jefferson ..
? Our goose is cooked.
405
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:13,138
I've got to swing it.
406
00:23:13,641 --> 00:23:15,325
But we can't get it without Hamilton.
407
00:23:15,701 --> 00:23:17,278
A fine chance we have of getting him.
408
00:23:17,378 --> 00:23:19,072
He'll stand out for New York of course.
409
00:23:19,556 --> 00:23:21,436
But we've got to get
the capital for the South.
410
00:23:21,536 --> 00:23:23,130
We've pledged ourselves to our party.
411
00:23:23,230 --> 00:23:24,846
And if we don't get it, we're done for.
412
00:23:25,451 --> 00:23:26,552
I've heard them talk.
413
00:23:27,092 --> 00:23:28,098
And I know.
414
00:23:28,608 --> 00:23:30,568
Hamilton would have great
influence with Congress.
415
00:23:32,067 --> 00:23:34,616
I think we'll have to
try a little .. persuasion.
416
00:23:35,082 --> 00:23:37,180
What? Go begging to Hamilton?
417
00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:40,079
Well, perhaps we'd better
pay him a friendly call?
418
00:23:40,248 --> 00:23:41,608
Well, count me out.
419
00:23:41,871 --> 00:23:43,144
I guess it's our only hope.
420
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:45,582
Hamilton's word would have great
influence with the President.
421
00:23:45,734 --> 00:23:49,219
If we can only make the people believe
that the Secretary of the Treasury ..
422
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,618
Ain't been playing fair
with the nation's money.
423
00:23:52,255 --> 00:23:54,163
Why, we'd have the whole
country in our pockets.
424
00:23:54,263 --> 00:23:55,477
He's honest, Senator.
425
00:23:55,856 --> 00:23:57,074
We've tested his honesty.
426
00:23:57,174 --> 00:23:59,868
Yes, we've attacked his honesty from
every angle. He's always beaten us.
427
00:23:59,968 --> 00:24:01,269
Well, you go if you want to.
428
00:24:01,647 --> 00:24:05,367
It don't suit me to go begging or paying
friendly calls on Alexander Hamilton.
429
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:07,435
So good day, Tom Jefferson.
430
00:24:07,727 --> 00:24:08,734
Good day, Monroe.
431
00:24:10,127 --> 00:24:11,843
Then you and I will call on him today.
432
00:24:13,074 --> 00:24:14,453
A friendly call.
433
00:24:14,837 --> 00:24:15,957
You know, Senator ..
434
00:24:16,374 --> 00:24:18,796
More flies are caught with
molasses than with vinegar.
435
00:24:27,095 --> 00:24:27,823
Zekial.
436
00:24:28,477 --> 00:24:30,846
Yes sir, Master Hamilton. I is wise.
437
00:24:31,214 --> 00:24:32,271
Remember, I'm out.
438
00:24:33,136 --> 00:24:35,151
Yes, sir. You is out.
439
00:24:39,022 --> 00:24:42,383
Good afternoon, Master Schuyler.
? Hello, Zekial. Where is your Master?
440
00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:44,748
Master Hamilton? Why, he is out.
441
00:24:46,064 --> 00:24:47,849
I'm in, Zekial. I'm in.
442
00:24:48,199 --> 00:24:49,186
Come in, General.
443
00:24:49,531 --> 00:24:50,988
Why, you rascal.
444
00:24:51,221 --> 00:24:52,382
You said he was out.
445
00:24:52,482 --> 00:24:55,516
He done tell me he's out when
he's in and in when he's out.
446
00:24:55,807 --> 00:24:57,491
I don't know where he is.
447
00:24:59,601 --> 00:25:01,014
General, it's good to see you.
448
00:25:01,114 --> 00:25:02,631
First of all, what news of Betsy?
449
00:25:03,548 --> 00:25:04,935
Her letter gives little hope ..
450
00:25:05,106 --> 00:25:06,808
Of her being home for
several months yet.
451
00:25:07,096 --> 00:25:09,531
Angelica is still improving?
? Yes, but slowly.
452
00:25:10,241 --> 00:25:11,224
I miss Betsy.
453
00:25:11,324 --> 00:25:13,874
You should get out more. Enjoy yourself.
454
00:25:14,186 --> 00:25:16,465
Let someone else run
the country for a change.
455
00:25:17,501 --> 00:25:18,316
By the way.
456
00:25:18,774 --> 00:25:21,094
I met Jefferson and Monroe this morning.
457
00:25:21,495 --> 00:25:25,332
They asked me to tell you that they'll
call on you today for a friendly chat.
458
00:25:26,236 --> 00:25:27,216
A friendly chat?
459
00:25:29,406 --> 00:25:30,461
That sounds fishy.
460
00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:32,160
They want something.
461
00:25:32,471 --> 00:25:36,253
From what Tom Jefferson said, I think
it's about the location of the capital.
462
00:25:36,616 --> 00:25:38,021
Oh, the Residence Bill.
463
00:25:38,812 --> 00:25:41,373
Well, where do they want the capital?
In Jefferson's parlor, I suppose?
464
00:25:41,551 --> 00:25:42,309
Exactly.
465
00:25:42,827 --> 00:25:45,735
They want the capital of these
United States to be in the South.
466
00:25:46,020 --> 00:25:46,921
Well, why not?
467
00:25:47,131 --> 00:25:49,942
You mean to say you'd let the capital
of the United States go to the South?
468
00:25:50,407 --> 00:25:51,823
Where do you think it should be?
469
00:25:52,044 --> 00:25:54,246
Where? Why, Albany of course.
470
00:25:57,306 --> 00:25:58,441
Your home town.
471
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:01,209
In <i>your</i> parlor, I suppose.
472
00:26:02,669 --> 00:26:05,512
No, no General. Certainly not Albany.
473
00:26:05,803 --> 00:26:07,742
Why, "certainly not Albany"?
474
00:26:08,007 --> 00:26:10,261
I suppose you want it in New York?
? No.
475
00:26:10,816 --> 00:26:12,706
Where in heaven's
name <i>do</i> you want it then?
476
00:26:13,051 --> 00:26:14,603
Anywhere that is handy to get at.
477
00:26:15,163 --> 00:26:17,299
So long as we have the right men inside.
478
00:26:18,317 --> 00:26:22,665
Seriously .. I think it should
be an entirely .. new city.
479
00:26:23,085 --> 00:26:25,002
That's an original idea.
480
00:26:25,485 --> 00:26:26,174
Where?
481
00:26:26,361 --> 00:26:28,084
Oh .. somewhere central.
482
00:26:28,532 --> 00:26:30,832
On the Potomac.
? Ah, the Potomac.
483
00:26:32,131 --> 00:26:34,150
You think it should
be in the North. Why?
484
00:26:34,455 --> 00:26:35,907
Why? I'll tell you.
485
00:26:36,625 --> 00:26:40,334
In the first place, all our country's
great and glorious and traditions ..
486
00:26:40,665 --> 00:26:42,947
Cluster about the North.
? There is some truth in that.
487
00:26:43,047 --> 00:26:46,296
It was here in Philadelphia that the
Declaration Of Independence was signed.
488
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:47,201
So it was.
489
00:26:47,301 --> 00:26:50,004
It was in New York where
Washington took the oath of office.
490
00:26:50,278 --> 00:26:52,615
It was in New York where the
government had its beginning.
491
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:54,177
And as for Albany.
492
00:26:54,517 --> 00:26:57,499
Why Albany commands the commerce
of the four corners of the earth.
493
00:26:57,808 --> 00:27:01,186
And there isn't a plain bit of reason
why the South should have it anyway.
494
00:27:01,425 --> 00:27:03,813
I declare Jefferson and
Senator Monroe calling to see you.
495
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:04,958
Show them in.
496
00:27:05,145 --> 00:27:08,129
And you'll give them the capital of
the United States without a struggle?
497
00:27:08,229 --> 00:27:09,001
General.
498
00:27:09,101 --> 00:27:12,720
I wonder if they feel as strongly about
the location of the capital as you do.
499
00:27:12,982 --> 00:27:15,650
Why any man with a grain of ..
? General ..
500
00:27:16,031 --> 00:27:20,083
I'm going to send you outside
on to the balcony to cool down.
501
00:27:21,676 --> 00:27:22,593
Father-in-law.
502
00:27:23,865 --> 00:27:26,468
If I could only get hold
of Jefferson and Monroe.
503
00:27:27,060 --> 00:27:29,141
What, to back your Assumption Bill?
? Yes.
504
00:27:29,451 --> 00:27:31,464
If you could only get hold of the moon.
505
00:27:31,862 --> 00:27:33,259
Outside, and keep quiet.
506
00:27:33,533 --> 00:27:35,849
I declare Jefferson and
Senator Monroe, sir.
507
00:27:38,270 --> 00:27:39,237
Mr Jefferson.
508
00:27:39,876 --> 00:27:40,840
Senator Monroe.
509
00:27:40,940 --> 00:27:42,585
How do, Hamilton.
? Won't you sit down.
510
00:27:44,778 --> 00:27:45,689
Mr Hamilton.
511
00:27:45,961 --> 00:27:47,798
We've come to have
a little chat with you.
512
00:27:47,898 --> 00:27:49,058
I am at your service.
513
00:27:49,270 --> 00:27:52,507
If our business is private I'll mention
that General Schuyler is on the balcony.
514
00:27:54,871 --> 00:27:55,834
Oh, not at all.
515
00:27:56,364 --> 00:27:57,775
I've already mentioned to him.
516
00:27:57,875 --> 00:28:00,294
That we wished to speak to you
about the location of the capital.
517
00:28:01,605 --> 00:28:03,973
You know the Resident's Bill
must be voted on without delay.
518
00:28:04,351 --> 00:28:06,541
I understand that an immediate
decision is necessary.
519
00:28:06,854 --> 00:28:08,309
I will not disguise from you ..
520
00:28:08,409 --> 00:28:10,626
That I consider the geographical
position of the capital ..
521
00:28:10,881 --> 00:28:12,308
A very vital matter.
522
00:28:12,661 --> 00:28:13,893
A very vital matter.
523
00:28:14,988 --> 00:28:17,216
We know you will have great
influence with the President.
524
00:28:17,384 --> 00:28:18,661
In arriving at a decision.
525
00:28:18,868 --> 00:28:22,397
That decision, gentlemen, is a
very grave and serious matter.
526
00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:25,908
But I think we should have no
difficulty in reaching an agreement.
527
00:28:26,343 --> 00:28:28,644
I am pleased to find you are
willing to meet us in the matter.
528
00:28:29,009 --> 00:28:31,695
I've gone into the
matter very seriously.
529
00:28:31,982 --> 00:28:33,399
And I've come to the conclusion.
530
00:28:33,572 --> 00:28:35,785
That there is only one possible
location for the capital.
531
00:28:36,028 --> 00:28:37,162
That is?
? Albany.
532
00:28:37,593 --> 00:28:38,286
Oh.
533
00:28:39,209 --> 00:28:40,903
I think I heard my father-in-law call.
534
00:28:41,003 --> 00:28:43,347
Albany? That old Dutch town?
? Why Albany?
535
00:28:44,311 --> 00:28:48,171
Because it commands the commerce
of the four corners of the earth.
536
00:28:50,134 --> 00:28:51,869
I'm afraid you don't consider ..
? I know.
537
00:28:51,969 --> 00:28:54,143
Much may be said in favor of
New York and Philadelphia.
538
00:28:54,243 --> 00:28:56,816
You talk as if Albany, New York and
Philadelphia were the only choices.
539
00:28:56,916 --> 00:28:58,246
You have a place in mind?
540
00:28:58,346 --> 00:29:00,914
Hasn't the South as much claim as
the North? ? Certainly not, sir.
541
00:29:01,014 --> 00:29:02,815
The South could not
possibly be considered.
542
00:29:03,443 --> 00:29:05,967
What's your reason for the North
except you're a northerner yourself?
543
00:29:06,067 --> 00:29:07,317
Why .. gentlemen.
544
00:29:07,764 --> 00:29:11,011
All our country's great
and glorious traditions ..
545
00:29:11,346 --> 00:29:12,533
Cluster about the North.
546
00:29:15,243 --> 00:29:17,311
It was here in Philadelphia ..
547
00:29:17,474 --> 00:29:20,132
That was signed that immortal document
from your hand, Mr Jefferson ..
548
00:29:20,232 --> 00:29:22,555
The Declaration Of Independence.
? What's that to do with it?
549
00:29:22,655 --> 00:29:25,267
It was in New York that
Washington took his oath of office.
550
00:29:25,748 --> 00:29:28,213
It was there that the
government had its beginning.
551
00:29:28,449 --> 00:29:32,372
And there is nothing, no reason on earth
why the South should have it anyway.
552
00:29:32,716 --> 00:29:35,855
The South will put up a fight for it.
? Is that your final word, Mr Hamilton?
553
00:29:36,163 --> 00:29:37,526
My decision on this matter ..
554
00:29:37,626 --> 00:29:41,191
Is just as irrevocable as your decision
regarding my Assumption Bill.
555
00:29:42,371 --> 00:29:44,413
Excuse me. I am sure I
heard the General calling.
556
00:29:45,647 --> 00:29:46,913
Did you hear what he said?
557
00:29:47,193 --> 00:29:48,445
Do you think it's a bait?
558
00:29:48,545 --> 00:29:50,599
He means he'll support
us if we back his Bill.
559
00:29:50,787 --> 00:29:53,135
We can't do that .. it's
against all our principles.
560
00:29:53,407 --> 00:29:55,880
We've got to do it. We dare not
let the capital go to the North.
561
00:29:56,203 --> 00:29:57,705
The whole party will be against us.
562
00:29:57,942 --> 00:29:59,218
Forgive me for leaving you.
563
00:29:59,407 --> 00:30:02,286
Although I fear gentlemen,
our interview is at an end.
564
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:03,447
But Mr Hamilton.
565
00:30:04,072 --> 00:30:05,889
I've always found that
in settling arguments.
566
00:30:06,358 --> 00:30:08,192
It is necessary to give and take.
567
00:30:08,727 --> 00:30:09,514
Precisely.
568
00:30:09,786 --> 00:30:11,763
To give the least and take the most.
569
00:30:12,493 --> 00:30:13,944
Now, in regard to the capital.
570
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:16,225
I have a proposal to make.
571
00:30:17,732 --> 00:30:18,881
Won't you sit down?
572
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:23,441
Since we cannot agree
upon the selection of a city.
573
00:30:24,179 --> 00:30:25,653
Why not build us a<i> new</i> city?
574
00:30:26,464 --> 00:30:28,696
Founded on the ideals
of liberty and fraternity.
575
00:30:29,993 --> 00:30:32,694
Why .. that's certainly
an original idea.
576
00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:34,475
A new city.
577
00:30:35,214 --> 00:30:36,886
On the Hudson.
? No, not on the Hudson.
578
00:30:37,571 --> 00:30:38,501
On the Potomac.
579
00:30:39,329 --> 00:30:41,329
Half way between the
North and the South.
580
00:30:41,659 --> 00:30:43,054
I am sorry, Mr Jefferson.
581
00:30:43,251 --> 00:30:44,968
But my decision is irrevocable.
582
00:30:45,221 --> 00:30:46,256
I think you said.
583
00:30:46,588 --> 00:30:48,651
As irrevocable as our
decision about your Bill.
584
00:30:49,177 --> 00:30:49,864
Did I?
585
00:30:50,503 --> 00:30:51,492
I think I did.
586
00:30:51,765 --> 00:30:53,895
Suppose we make a .. concession.
587
00:30:54,216 --> 00:30:55,497
Strike a bargain, you mean?
588
00:30:55,597 --> 00:30:58,356
Why .. I wouldn't care to use
that word, Mr Hamilton.
589
00:30:58,598 --> 00:31:00,108
No? Then we won't use it.
590
00:31:00,513 --> 00:31:01,925
We'll call it a "concession".
591
00:31:02,701 --> 00:31:03,600
Suppose we ..
592
00:31:04,492 --> 00:31:05,654
Pass your Bill ..
593
00:31:05,902 --> 00:31:07,146
In return for the capital?
594
00:31:09,214 --> 00:31:10,027
Gentlemen.
595
00:31:10,674 --> 00:31:12,501
This is really a surprising proposal.
596
00:31:13,745 --> 00:31:15,498
I'm afraid I need
time to think that over.
597
00:31:15,598 --> 00:31:18,129
You're a quick thinker when you like.
? Yes. When I like the proposal.
598
00:31:18,229 --> 00:31:20,512
But it seems I get the worst
of the bargain. Or "concession".
599
00:31:20,612 --> 00:31:22,522
We offer you what you've
fought for years.
600
00:31:22,622 --> 00:31:24,848
Give me a week to think it over?
? Impossible, Mr Hamilton.
601
00:31:24,948 --> 00:31:26,079
Three days?
? No.
602
00:31:26,179 --> 00:31:29,208
This must be decided now. We've pledged
our word to the Southern States.
603
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:32,127
You've pledged your word?
604
00:31:33,635 --> 00:31:34,822
I was not aware of that.
605
00:31:35,428 --> 00:31:36,660
In that case, gentlemen.
606
00:31:36,923 --> 00:31:39,353
I shall feel compelled .. to agree.
? Good.
607
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:42,909
Shall we put it in writing?
? No. Our oral pledge is sufficient.
608
00:31:43,089 --> 00:31:44,312
Your word is your bond.
609
00:31:44,659 --> 00:31:47,009
In fact gentlemen, I would
rather take your word ..
610
00:31:47,295 --> 00:31:49,375
Than the bond of almost
any State in the Union.
611
00:31:51,639 --> 00:31:53,591
Good day, Mr Hamilton.
? Good day, Mr Jefferson.
612
00:31:54,725 --> 00:31:55,540
Senator.
613
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:02,875
Alexander .. aren't you a wizard!
614
00:32:03,550 --> 00:32:06,330
No, General .. but I'm
learning to be a politician.
615
00:32:14,975 --> 00:32:16,306
Keep quiet there, will you.
616
00:32:16,406 --> 00:32:19,921
I'm selling state securities
for the price of the printing.
617
00:32:20,167 --> 00:32:22,521
Sit down. How can you be
selling when there are no buyers?
618
00:32:22,755 --> 00:32:25,504
Ah .. you don't know the value of them.
619
00:32:26,157 --> 00:32:28,662
Don't any of you gentlemen
want to make some easy money?
620
00:32:28,762 --> 00:32:32,270
Here is a $100 state security
going to the highest bidder.
621
00:32:32,548 --> 00:32:34,079
What State?
? South Carolina.
622
00:32:36,479 --> 00:32:39,381
I'm selling, I'm selling, I'm selling.
623
00:32:39,848 --> 00:32:41,709
Where did you get all
this paper, Reynolds?
624
00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:44,478
Well, if ain't Senator ..
? Shut your mouth.
625
00:32:45,979 --> 00:32:47,281
Where did you get it from?
626
00:32:47,381 --> 00:32:49,054
From the poor soldiers.
627
00:32:50,107 --> 00:32:51,637
You're a bad egg, ain't you.
628
00:32:52,416 --> 00:32:55,587
A good family, a good education.
But you're a yellow dog.
629
00:32:55,806 --> 00:32:58,860
I've been unfortunate.
? I know. You were found out.
630
00:32:59,574 --> 00:33:01,447
Lots of people are unfortunate that way.
631
00:33:03,865 --> 00:33:06,026
You ain't fond of
Alexander Hamilton, are you.
632
00:33:06,386 --> 00:33:07,230
No, I ain't.
633
00:33:08,101 --> 00:33:11,212
And you'd do any darned thing
for a ten-dollar bill, wouldn't you?
634
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:16,809
Well just as long as it wasn't
anything dishonorable, Mr Roberts.
635
00:33:18,805 --> 00:33:21,922
If there was only a way to
shake the people's faith in him.
636
00:33:22,787 --> 00:33:24,974
Pretty hard to shake the
people's faith in Hamilton.
637
00:33:25,074 --> 00:33:25,972
I know it.
638
00:33:28,581 --> 00:33:29,613
See, Mr Roberts.
639
00:33:30,779 --> 00:33:32,189
Have you ever thought about ..?
640
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:40,876
Sit down.
641
00:33:50,594 --> 00:33:52,204
Excuse me, Master Hamilton.
642
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,277
But it's right now ten o'clock.
643
00:33:55,225 --> 00:33:56,219
Well, what of it?
644
00:33:56,319 --> 00:34:00,316
Why, you ain't had no dinner and now
you ain't touched no supper neither.
645
00:34:00,703 --> 00:34:02,740
Well, I've got a difficult job on here.
646
00:34:03,747 --> 00:34:05,755
Trying to make bricks without straw.
647
00:34:06,107 --> 00:34:06,808
Bricks?
648
00:34:07,893 --> 00:34:11,478
I certainly do see why you might
want to miss supper, Master.
649
00:34:12,094 --> 00:34:13,040
[ Door knocks ]
650
00:34:17,068 --> 00:34:18,960
Is you in or is you out?
651
00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:22,539
Oh well .. I suppose I'm in.
652
00:34:23,157 --> 00:34:24,701
Yes, sir. You is in.
653
00:34:30,625 --> 00:34:33,727
Monsieur Hamilton, he is still working?
? He sure is, your honor.
654
00:34:38,191 --> 00:34:40,107
Mr Count Talleyrand, sir.
655
00:34:40,936 --> 00:34:42,930
Ah <i>bonsoir, mon ami</i>.
656
00:34:43,246 --> 00:34:46,012
Monsieur Talleyrand.
This is indeed a pleasure.
657
00:34:46,223 --> 00:34:49,594
If I say I am delighted to find you
at all, I tell only half the truth.
658
00:34:49,824 --> 00:34:51,060
Why, what is the mystery?
659
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,492
My dear friend, Hamilton.
660
00:34:53,086 --> 00:34:55,290
All the time I am a
visitor in your country.
661
00:34:55,613 --> 00:34:58,898
When I am in trouble, I come to you for
advice and you have never failed me.
662
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,471
Tonight, I come to <i>give</i> advice.
663
00:35:01,661 --> 00:35:03,641
What have I been doing?
? Too much.
664
00:35:04,706 --> 00:35:07,485
Today I meet General Schuyler and he
tells me he can do nothing with you.
665
00:35:07,798 --> 00:35:10,512
I promise him I will call.
I come here at 10 o'clock.
666
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,270
And I find you are still working.
667
00:35:12,758 --> 00:35:15,583
Now, I will drag you
out on a little spree.
668
00:35:19,173 --> 00:35:21,608
Why, Talleyrand, you surprise me.
669
00:35:22,156 --> 00:35:24,401
We've always met on the
gravest matters of state.
670
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,843
And now, in the midst of your
own revolution in France.
671
00:35:28,076 --> 00:35:30,306
You propose a little "spree".
? <i>Oui</i>.
672
00:35:31,437 --> 00:35:32,188
Zekial!
673
00:35:32,835 --> 00:35:34,652
Glasses.
? Yes sir, Mr Hamilton.
674
00:35:35,177 --> 00:35:36,536
I'm going to give you a toast.
675
00:35:37,326 --> 00:35:39,664
Don't you drink that on an
empty stomach, Master Hamilton.
676
00:35:39,914 --> 00:35:41,756
Or it will go straight to your head.
677
00:35:46,588 --> 00:35:47,752
To George Washington.
678
00:35:48,505 --> 00:35:49,597
The first American.
679
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,207
A great big heart.
680
00:35:51,716 --> 00:35:54,061
A great big soul.
? And a great big nose.
681
00:35:57,706 --> 00:35:59,434
Ah, <i>c'est bon</i>, sir.
? Now then.
682
00:36:00,029 --> 00:36:00,793
Sit down.
683
00:36:00,893 --> 00:36:02,473
No, no. No, Alexander.
684
00:36:02,913 --> 00:36:04,225
No more work tonight.
685
00:36:05,407 --> 00:36:06,969
Come with me. A little spree, eh?
686
00:36:09,563 --> 00:36:10,979
What do you call a little spree?
687
00:36:12,011 --> 00:36:13,096
A little spree.
688
00:36:14,392 --> 00:36:16,634
Ah, your American girls.
689
00:36:17,133 --> 00:36:18,571
So .. <i>ravissante</i>.
690
00:36:19,329 --> 00:36:22,667
I know. I know Mrs Hamilton
is charming, but she is away.
691
00:36:23,041 --> 00:36:25,167
She is away so long and you are lonely.
692
00:36:25,495 --> 00:36:26,110
Yes.
693
00:36:26,905 --> 00:36:28,719
I am lonely.
? A little spree.
694
00:36:30,047 --> 00:36:32,715
You think I deserve it, eh?
? We are all but human.
695
00:36:33,143 --> 00:36:35,919
A little spree will do you
good. Come .. come.
696
00:36:36,813 --> 00:36:38,502
No, no, no.
697
00:36:38,898 --> 00:36:42,169
No? I cannot tempt you?
? I'm afraid you might.
698
00:36:42,857 --> 00:36:43,959
That's why I say ..
699
00:36:44,685 --> 00:36:45,472
Goodnight.
700
00:36:47,788 --> 00:36:48,998
<i>Merci</i>.
? <i>Bonsoir</i>.
701
00:36:57,123 --> 00:36:59,376
What's the matter, Zekial?
? A little spree.
702
00:36:59,601 --> 00:37:01,802
I figured it ought to do
you sort of good, sir.
703
00:37:01,997 --> 00:37:02,801
Zekial!
704
00:37:02,901 --> 00:37:05,093
Well, if I'd been working
the same as you ..
705
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:07,601
I reckon I'd like a little spree myself.
706
00:37:07,813 --> 00:37:10,067
You old reprobate! At your age?
707
00:37:10,302 --> 00:37:12,849
Well sir, that am the only
thing that would prevent it.
708
00:37:13,024 --> 00:37:15,372
Get out! Go home and
go to bed immediately.
709
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,906
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
710
00:37:47,881 --> 00:37:49,015
[ Door knocks ]
711
00:38:08,431 --> 00:38:09,267
What is it?
712
00:38:09,367 --> 00:38:11,194
Is this Mr Alexander Hamilton's house?
713
00:38:11,634 --> 00:38:13,537
Yes. What do you want?
? I want to see him.
714
00:38:14,621 --> 00:38:17,554
Won't it do tomorrow?
? Oh no, I must see him tonight.
715
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:19,912
Well .. alright, wait a moment.
716
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:23,776
Come in.
717
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:37,753
Are you Alexander Hamilton?
718
00:38:38,570 --> 00:38:40,027
Yes.
? Oh.
719
00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:43,016
It's very late isn't it.
720
00:38:43,743 --> 00:38:45,054
Were you just going to bed?
721
00:38:45,223 --> 00:38:46,124
I think I was.
722
00:38:46,632 --> 00:38:48,529
Oh, then I ought not
to have disturbed you.
723
00:38:49,216 --> 00:38:50,832
It was mighty nice of you to let me in.
724
00:38:51,595 --> 00:38:52,582
What do you want?
725
00:38:53,008 --> 00:38:54,171
I want money.
726
00:38:54,883 --> 00:38:55,555
Money?
727
00:38:56,399 --> 00:38:57,586
Why have you come to me?
728
00:38:58,252 --> 00:38:59,402
Why, I'm an American.
729
00:38:59,757 --> 00:39:02,798
I thought it was the place of the
Secretary of the Treasury to help me.
730
00:39:02,898 --> 00:39:03,701
But ..
731
00:39:03,801 --> 00:39:06,395
My father was in the commissary
department during the war.
732
00:39:06,586 --> 00:39:07,332
Was he?
733
00:39:07,855 --> 00:39:08,920
Won't you sit down?
734
00:39:12,916 --> 00:39:14,964
Yes. Mr Lewis his name was.
735
00:39:15,209 --> 00:39:15,962
Well ..
736
00:39:16,298 --> 00:39:17,773
What do you want the money for?
737
00:39:18,248 --> 00:39:19,147
To run away.
738
00:39:20,204 --> 00:39:20,977
Run away?
739
00:39:21,455 --> 00:39:22,644
Yes. From my husband.
740
00:39:23,343 --> 00:39:24,215
Your husband?
741
00:39:24,675 --> 00:39:25,875
But you are very young.
742
00:39:26,217 --> 00:39:27,392
I am nearly thirty.
743
00:39:28,620 --> 00:39:29,908
I don't look it, do I.
744
00:39:30,988 --> 00:39:33,632
Oh .. he's been nothing to
me for a long time but ..
745
00:39:34,070 --> 00:39:36,701
Tonight he came to my lodgings
where I've been living and ..
746
00:39:37,184 --> 00:39:38,104
Struck me.
747
00:39:39,872 --> 00:39:41,732
So I thought if you could
give me the money ..
748
00:39:42,014 --> 00:39:43,573
That tomorrow I would go to New York.
749
00:39:44,278 --> 00:39:45,122
And tonight?
750
00:39:45,525 --> 00:39:46,999
Oh, I can go back to my lodgings.
751
00:39:47,211 --> 00:39:48,684
He won't come there again tonight.
752
00:39:49,328 --> 00:39:51,179
What did you say your name was? Lewis?
753
00:39:51,494 --> 00:39:52,921
No. That was my father's name.
754
00:39:53,383 --> 00:39:54,937
Maria is my first name.
755
00:39:55,437 --> 00:39:57,137
At home I was always called Joy.
756
00:39:57,582 --> 00:39:58,332
Joy?
757
00:39:58,663 --> 00:39:59,278
Yes.
758
00:40:00,496 --> 00:40:02,785
But I haven't had much
joy since I was married.
759
00:40:03,706 --> 00:40:04,805
Oh, but I want it.
760
00:40:05,759 --> 00:40:07,539
I want joy and happiness.
761
00:40:08,729 --> 00:40:10,231
Things will look brighter tomorrow.
762
00:40:11,152 --> 00:40:14,994
No .. I've waited for year for
things to look brighter tomorrow.
763
00:40:15,638 --> 00:40:17,005
I'm afraid you're very tired.
764
00:40:17,671 --> 00:40:18,413
I am.
765
00:40:19,323 --> 00:40:20,827
And I've had nothing since morning.
766
00:40:21,315 --> 00:40:22,345
Haven't you?
767
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:24,466
Well.
768
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:27,556
Why, neither have I.
769
00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:30,119
Nothing to eat since morning?
770
00:40:30,922 --> 00:40:33,344
Why .. you poor thing.
771
00:40:35,476 --> 00:40:37,872
Why, you've all sorts of things here.
? Would you like something?
772
00:40:37,995 --> 00:40:39,071
No thank you.
773
00:40:39,407 --> 00:40:41,185
And wine.
? Have a glass of wine.
774
00:40:41,490 --> 00:40:43,299
Oh yes, I love wine.
775
00:40:50,513 --> 00:40:51,182
Oh.
776
00:40:56,383 --> 00:40:58,163
Oh but I don't think
I should have had it.
777
00:40:58,353 --> 00:40:59,566
I've had nothing to eat.
778
00:40:59,776 --> 00:41:01,793
In that case I believe it
goes straight to the head.
779
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:05,533
Aren't you going to have one?
? Yes, I'm going to have one.
780
00:41:10,575 --> 00:41:11,979
Here is wishing that joy ..
781
00:41:12,445 --> 00:41:14,014
May come back into your life.
782
00:41:19,475 --> 00:41:21,293
Do you know what it is to be lonely?
783
00:41:21,788 --> 00:41:22,485
I do.
784
00:41:23,085 --> 00:41:24,685
I've been very lonely sometimes.
785
00:41:25,342 --> 00:41:26,705
I believe you are lonely now.
786
00:41:27,545 --> 00:41:28,962
Have you nobody here to talk to?
787
00:41:31,598 --> 00:41:32,439
Nobody.
788
00:41:33,615 --> 00:41:34,497
But you.
789
00:41:36,646 --> 00:41:38,453
And that is why I am
going to send you away.
790
00:41:38,706 --> 00:41:40,597
But first of all, how much
money do you need?
791
00:41:40,835 --> 00:41:42,594
I'm afraid I ought not
to have come to you.
792
00:41:42,694 --> 00:41:44,435
Well, I want you to understand.
793
00:41:44,782 --> 00:41:46,840
The Treasury doesn't
give money to individuals.
794
00:41:47,958 --> 00:41:50,648
I'm not a rich man
but I'm very sorry for you.
795
00:41:51,187 --> 00:41:52,805
And I'm going to let you have ..
796
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:54,907
Fifty dollars out of my own purse.
797
00:41:55,411 --> 00:41:56,590
Oh, thank you.
798
00:41:56,909 --> 00:41:58,993
But you must regard
it as a personal loan.
799
00:41:59,529 --> 00:42:01,151
It had nothing to do with the treasury.
800
00:42:01,347 --> 00:42:02,820
You are certainly very good to me.
801
00:42:04,471 --> 00:42:05,294
And now ..
802
00:42:05,803 --> 00:42:06,961
Oh .. I see ..
803
00:42:07,927 --> 00:42:09,647
You don't think it's
right my being here.
804
00:42:09,849 --> 00:42:11,238
Well ..
? I'll go.
805
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,820
Have you far to go?
? Oh no.
806
00:42:15,893 --> 00:42:17,400
It's quite close. I ..
807
00:42:18,616 --> 00:42:19,288
Why ..
808
00:42:19,940 --> 00:42:21,385
I don't know what's come over me.
809
00:42:22,363 --> 00:42:23,595
I feel so faint.
810
00:42:26,283 --> 00:42:27,295
Have some water.
811
00:42:31,117 --> 00:42:31,932
Drink this.
812
00:42:39,285 --> 00:42:40,558
It must have been the wine.
813
00:42:43,694 --> 00:42:44,804
Feel my face.
814
00:42:45,789 --> 00:42:46,915
How it's burning.
815
00:42:47,542 --> 00:42:49,524
But you're feeling better, aren't you?
? Yes.
816
00:42:50,804 --> 00:42:51,435
Yes.
817
00:42:53,230 --> 00:42:54,607
Just let me stay a moment.
818
00:43:00,126 --> 00:43:00,798
There.
819
00:43:02,279 --> 00:43:03,262
Now I'll go.
820
00:43:08,785 --> 00:43:09,886
You're very trusting.
821
00:43:10,291 --> 00:43:12,508
Not always .. but I'm human.
822
00:43:19,945 --> 00:43:21,680
I think I'd better see you to your door.
823
00:43:21,866 --> 00:43:22,915
Oh, will you?
824
00:43:38,523 --> 00:43:40,819
Chilly, isn't it.
? Yes, the night air.
825
00:43:42,001 --> 00:43:42,730
Here.
826
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,259
Put this round you.
827
00:43:47,228 --> 00:43:47,976
Oh ..
828
00:43:49,552 --> 00:43:50,504
One of yours?
829
00:43:50,754 --> 00:43:53,012
Yes .. it's very big for you.
830
00:43:55,591 --> 00:43:56,620
It's very cosy.
831
00:44:08,988 --> 00:44:10,082
May I take your arm?
832
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:21,855
This is where I live.
833
00:44:22,773 --> 00:44:23,935
On the second floor.
834
00:44:25,143 --> 00:44:26,293
Goodbye.
? Goodbye.
835
00:44:26,479 --> 00:44:28,410
You're feeling much better, aren't you?
? Oh yes.
836
00:44:28,695 --> 00:44:30,196
I'll wait until you're safely in.
837
00:44:30,364 --> 00:44:31,207
Thank you.
838
00:44:31,661 --> 00:44:34,879
It is wonderful to have been with
someone who was kind to me.
839
00:44:35,355 --> 00:44:36,542
Goodnight.
? Goodnight.
840
00:44:48,814 --> 00:44:49,600
Goodnight.
841
00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:50,997
Goodnight.
842
00:44:51,506 --> 00:44:53,090
Oh, I have your cloak.
843
00:46:00,262 --> 00:46:02,430
You got in, Reynolds.
? Yes, I managed it.
844
00:46:03,527 --> 00:46:05,058
I look quite the gentleman, don't I.
845
00:46:05,368 --> 00:46:07,968
There is Hamilton now.
Finishing his minuet.
846
00:46:12,672 --> 00:46:13,646
Do your job.
847
00:46:13,969 --> 00:46:15,661
Make him dance to another tune.
848
00:46:19,556 --> 00:46:22,852
Molly, I feel like a bride tonight,
with everyone giving me such attention.
849
00:46:23,156 --> 00:46:25,502
I wish I could be what you
would call .. the best man.
850
00:46:25,701 --> 00:46:27,593
To have the honor of kissing the bride.
851
00:46:27,764 --> 00:46:30,603
Mrs Bingham, your party is
the success of the season.
852
00:46:31,737 --> 00:46:33,155
But oh dear me.
853
00:46:33,467 --> 00:46:36,092
I must give up these violent dances.
854
00:46:37,966 --> 00:46:41,213
Father, you know you love
to hold the ladies' hands.
855
00:46:41,934 --> 00:46:44,007
If Lady Washington
would do me the honor.
856
00:46:44,619 --> 00:46:47,549
This is the first time that I have ever
been to a dance without my husband.
857
00:46:48,367 --> 00:46:50,280
I think I will not dance
tonight, General.
858
00:46:50,380 --> 00:46:52,042
The President would have been here ..
859
00:46:52,142 --> 00:46:54,275
Alexander sent him away.
860
00:46:54,797 --> 00:46:56,871
The President did me the
honor to agree with me.
861
00:46:57,159 --> 00:46:59,914
That the only way to put down the
whiskey rebellion in Pennsylvania ..
862
00:47:00,233 --> 00:47:02,120
Was to send a strong armed force.
863
00:47:02,646 --> 00:47:04,888
And he knew that he was the
only man to lead the troops.
864
00:47:05,193 --> 00:47:06,843
Except Alexander Hamilton.
865
00:47:07,016 --> 00:47:09,472
He has plenty of fighting
to do in Philadelphia.
866
00:47:09,896 --> 00:47:12,054
For me, I am on the side
of the whiskey rebellion.
867
00:47:13,534 --> 00:47:15,583
This is a free country.
Why tax the whiskey?
868
00:47:15,954 --> 00:47:18,742
<i>Mon dieu</i>. It was that that
started our revolution in France.
869
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,802
Viscount, you don't
drink whiskey in France.
870
00:47:22,292 --> 00:47:24,962
It isn't the whiskey, it's the
mixing that caused the trouble.
871
00:47:25,062 --> 00:47:27,159
Mixing? What did they mix with it?
872
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:28,598
Politics, ma'am.
873
00:47:31,903 --> 00:47:33,349
Hello, Mr Hamilton.
874
00:47:34,563 --> 00:47:36,209
Could I talk with you for a moment?
875
00:47:37,781 --> 00:47:38,928
What is it? Why?
876
00:47:39,632 --> 00:47:40,911
My name is Reynolds.
877
00:47:41,557 --> 00:47:43,273
I used to be employed in the Treasury.
878
00:47:44,423 --> 00:47:46,099
Oh yes, I remember.
879
00:47:46,819 --> 00:47:48,679
I want you to take me
back again, Mr Hamilton.
880
00:47:48,925 --> 00:47:50,262
I have nothing to say to you.
881
00:47:57,366 --> 00:47:59,582
I see Roberts is here.
? He's avoiding us.
882
00:48:00,674 --> 00:48:02,724
He evidently resents our
supporting Hamilton.
883
00:48:03,278 --> 00:48:05,717
Roberts resents everything
except Roberts.
884
00:48:06,482 --> 00:48:09,551
I must admit. Our going over to
the Assumption Bill was awkward.
885
00:48:09,913 --> 00:48:12,245
Our change of front will be
difficult to explain to the people.
886
00:48:12,645 --> 00:48:14,763
Tom Jefferson, you can
explain away anything.
887
00:48:15,296 --> 00:48:18,307
Give you a pen and ink, there isn't
your equal for that in the universe.
888
00:48:20,805 --> 00:48:22,368
Dear, can't we slip away?
889
00:48:22,764 --> 00:48:25,337
I don't want all these
people. I want you.
890
00:48:26,498 --> 00:48:28,754
Well, as this is given in your honor.
891
00:48:29,163 --> 00:48:30,669
I'm afraid we can't slip away.
892
00:48:31,438 --> 00:48:33,046
We might make a grand exit.
893
00:48:33,426 --> 00:48:34,769
We'll appeal to our hostess.
894
00:48:34,869 --> 00:48:37,494
Oh Mrs Hamilton, do tell
us about your adventures.
895
00:48:37,695 --> 00:48:39,123
Going all the way to England.
896
00:48:39,630 --> 00:48:41,512
We're going to steal her
from you, Mr Hamilton.
897
00:48:42,411 --> 00:48:43,798
Well, what do you want to know?
898
00:48:44,014 --> 00:48:45,287
Tell us about your journey.
899
00:48:45,617 --> 00:48:47,924
They say that our fast
sailing ships are wonderful.
900
00:48:48,576 --> 00:48:52,757
You just get on the boat in Philadelphia
and whizz, in 6 weeks you're in London.
901
00:48:57,777 --> 00:48:59,730
You'd better listen to me, Mr Hamilton.
902
00:49:01,804 --> 00:49:02,877
What is it you want?
903
00:49:03,389 --> 00:49:04,581
That's rather private.
904
00:49:04,883 --> 00:49:07,173
This is a strange place to choose
for a private conversation.
905
00:49:07,399 --> 00:49:09,647
Maybe it is a strange matter
I have to talk about.
906
00:49:12,009 --> 00:49:13,282
There is a quiet corner.
907
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:23,847
Well .. what is it?
908
00:49:25,142 --> 00:49:26,495
I'm hard up, Mr Hamilton.
909
00:49:26,764 --> 00:49:28,631
I've got to have money.
? What's that to me?
910
00:49:28,731 --> 00:49:30,868
I want you to give me back
my old job in the Treasury.
911
00:49:31,046 --> 00:49:33,719
You have been tried.
You are lazy. You are dishonest.
912
00:49:33,931 --> 00:49:35,901
There's no place for you
in any government office.
913
00:49:36,001 --> 00:49:38,469
Maybe you'll find a place
for me, and find it quick.
914
00:49:38,569 --> 00:49:40,029
I think you're drunk.
? Do you?
915
00:49:41,621 --> 00:49:44,482
Do you remember a lady who
called on you one night?
916
00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:46,198
Quite late.
917
00:49:46,935 --> 00:49:48,023
You took her home.
918
00:49:49,112 --> 00:49:51,339
She told you her first name was Maria.
919
00:49:51,973 --> 00:49:53,682
She didn't tell you her married name.
920
00:49:54,208 --> 00:49:56,491
Her married name was
"Reynolds", Mr Hamilton.
921
00:49:58,312 --> 00:50:00,212
"Reynolds"?
? Yes. My wife.
922
00:50:00,865 --> 00:50:02,544
You took advantage of her being alone.
923
00:50:03,345 --> 00:50:04,380
I see.
924
00:50:04,580 --> 00:50:06,911
You came into her life ..
? What do mean, "came into her life"?
925
00:50:07,103 --> 00:50:09,912
You know I've never seen her since.
? But you sent her money. I can prove it.
926
00:50:10,821 --> 00:50:12,519
Are you going to give me the job?
? No!
927
00:50:13,336 --> 00:50:14,665
Maybe you'll wish you had.
928
00:50:15,338 --> 00:50:16,562
What do you mean to do?
929
00:50:19,858 --> 00:50:24,306
Well first of all, I should consider
it my duty to tell Mrs Hamilton.
930
00:50:29,581 --> 00:50:30,748
How much do you want?
931
00:50:31,511 --> 00:50:34,177
Well, I don't want to be
hard on you, Mr Hamilton.
932
00:50:34,948 --> 00:50:36,570
But if you give me a hundred dollars.
933
00:50:36,935 --> 00:50:38,426
Here is my address.
934
00:50:39,593 --> 00:50:40,717
I'll send it to you.
935
00:50:46,057 --> 00:50:48,453
Would you excuse us, Molly?
I'm rather tired.
936
00:50:48,791 --> 00:50:50,291
Why of course you are, my dear.
937
00:50:50,627 --> 00:50:52,901
Alexander has disappeared.
I've looked everywhere for him.
938
00:50:53,458 --> 00:50:56,131
Why Alexander, here you are.
Molly will excuse us.
939
00:50:56,278 --> 00:50:58,573
Molly, I can't tell you the pleasure
you've given us tonight.
940
00:50:58,784 --> 00:50:59,775
You are leaving?
941
00:51:00,413 --> 00:51:01,262
So soon?
942
00:51:01,975 --> 00:51:02,807
Au revoir.
943
00:51:03,993 --> 00:51:05,552
I sail tomorrow for France.
944
00:51:05,923 --> 00:51:09,173
And when I get back to my country
and its revolution I will say ..
945
00:51:09,564 --> 00:51:11,673
In America, romance is not dead.
946
00:51:11,964 --> 00:51:13,994
For there is Alexander Hamilton.
947
00:51:14,505 --> 00:51:16,737
And there is his Betsy.
948
00:51:26,615 --> 00:51:27,997
[ Singing: ]
949
00:52:35,434 --> 00:52:37,162
Why Alexander. What is happening?
950
00:52:37,519 --> 00:52:40,982
How did you manage to tear yourself away
from work at this hour in the morning?
951
00:52:41,395 --> 00:52:42,468
I heard you singing.
952
00:52:42,819 --> 00:52:46,515
And I couldn't resist coming to see if
you looked as pretty as you sounded.
953
00:52:48,630 --> 00:52:50,828
Amiable .. play truant today.
954
00:52:51,312 --> 00:52:52,915
Let's have this day together.
955
00:52:53,365 --> 00:52:54,508
Take me shopping.
956
00:52:54,905 --> 00:52:56,911
But who is to look after
my shop, The Treasury?
957
00:52:57,011 --> 00:52:57,852
Shut it up.
958
00:52:58,423 --> 00:53:00,291
Let's pretend it's my birthday.
959
00:53:00,642 --> 00:53:02,621
And I declare this a public holiday.
960
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:08,078
What are we to shop with?
? I know money is scarce.
961
00:53:08,467 --> 00:53:09,813
But we won't spend much.
962
00:53:11,121 --> 00:53:13,675
Father says you've no right to go
on working for the government.
963
00:53:14,996 --> 00:53:19,754
Your grateful country pays you $3,500
a year as Secretary of the Treasury.
964
00:53:20,170 --> 00:53:23,565
And you know you could earn
$20,000 a year in private practice.
965
00:53:23,813 --> 00:53:25,270
Well, after tomorrow.
966
00:53:25,833 --> 00:53:28,566
When my Assumption Bill goes
through, we'll think about it.
967
00:53:29,162 --> 00:53:29,949
But today.
968
00:53:30,198 --> 00:53:33,105
It shall be your birthday
and we'll shut up shop.
969
00:53:33,357 --> 00:53:34,915
You're a darling.
970
00:53:35,934 --> 00:53:36,935
Alexander.
971
00:53:38,121 --> 00:53:40,528
There is Roberts and Monroe,
both come to see you.
972
00:53:41,095 --> 00:53:43,859
I met them on the doorstep
and I put them in your study.
973
00:53:43,959 --> 00:53:45,265
Now, isn't that devilish?
974
00:53:45,446 --> 00:53:46,828
What do you think they want?
975
00:53:46,928 --> 00:53:48,760
I'm afraid that's just
what I must find out.
976
00:53:48,860 --> 00:53:50,542
Well I give you ten minutes, no longer.
977
00:53:51,149 --> 00:53:51,993
Ten minutes.
978
00:53:52,364 --> 00:53:54,578
Come along father-in-law.
Help me to get rid of them.
979
00:54:02,516 --> 00:54:04,058
Gentlemen, you honor me.
980
00:54:04,621 --> 00:54:07,803
Why, General Schuyler was just
congratulating me on your cooperation ..
981
00:54:07,991 --> 00:54:09,579
In connection with my Assumption Bill.
982
00:54:09,679 --> 00:54:10,397
Yes.
983
00:54:10,959 --> 00:54:14,424
I trust we shall have no reason
to alter our decision on that point.
984
00:54:15,217 --> 00:54:18,529
I too trust you will not find it
expedient to break your word.
985
00:54:18,706 --> 00:54:21,362
It isn't a matter of breaking words,
it's a matter of public opinion.
986
00:54:21,667 --> 00:54:23,483
I was not alluding to you,
Senator Roberts.
987
00:54:23,702 --> 00:54:26,177
Everybody knows that you would
never be guilty of a breach of faith.
988
00:54:26,822 --> 00:54:28,801
Unless it were made <i>
absolutely</i> worth your while.
989
00:54:30,183 --> 00:54:31,726
That remark was uncalled for, sir.
990
00:54:31,826 --> 00:54:34,414
True. Tell me Senator,
what <i>have</i> you called for?
991
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,094
We have called, Mr Hamilton on
business of a private character.
992
00:54:38,820 --> 00:54:40,609
Mr Jefferson, sir.
993
00:54:41,865 --> 00:54:43,620
You must excuse me Mr Hamilton, but ..
994
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:45,828
I received a note from Senator Monroe.
995
00:54:46,299 --> 00:54:47,944
Asking me to meet him here at this hour.
996
00:54:48,119 --> 00:54:49,483
I trust I do not intrude.
997
00:54:49,583 --> 00:54:51,506
I told Mr Jefferson the
business was urgent.
998
00:54:51,685 --> 00:54:53,559
Otherwise, I should not
have taken the liberty.
999
00:54:54,578 --> 00:54:56,328
Gentlemen, pray be seated.
1000
00:54:58,542 --> 00:54:59,135
Oh.
1001
00:55:02,849 --> 00:55:04,899
We have recently been
annoyed by the receipt ..
1002
00:55:05,562 --> 00:55:06,754
Of anonymous letters.
1003
00:55:07,475 --> 00:55:11,251
Threatening exposure of some scandal
concerning the Secretary of the Treasury.
1004
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:15,592
We have traced these letters
to a man named .. Reynolds.
1005
00:55:17,806 --> 00:55:18,526
Oh yes.
1006
00:55:18,626 --> 00:55:19,717
James Reynolds.
1007
00:55:20,568 --> 00:55:21,486
You know him?
1008
00:55:22,629 --> 00:55:23,244
Yes.
1009
00:55:24,038 --> 00:55:26,603
This man has placed in
my hands certain papers.
1010
00:55:26,948 --> 00:55:29,969
Which show that he has received
from you considerable sums of money.
1011
00:55:30,670 --> 00:55:32,000
What was that money paid for?
1012
00:55:32,130 --> 00:55:34,838
May I be allowed to see
the documents in question?
1013
00:55:39,062 --> 00:55:40,707
There's no doubt you paid him the money.
1014
00:55:41,067 --> 00:55:42,655
There seems to be no doubt about that.
1015
00:55:42,832 --> 00:55:45,308
We are compelled to
ask you <i>why</i> you paid.
1016
00:55:45,474 --> 00:55:47,763
Who compelled you to do that?
? Our sense of duty.
1017
00:55:48,044 --> 00:55:50,287
Duty to whom?
? To the country. To the people.
1018
00:55:50,387 --> 00:55:52,284
It's not to do with the
country or the people.
1019
00:55:52,384 --> 00:55:53,922
This is my own private affair.
1020
00:55:54,175 --> 00:55:56,212
We know why you paid him the money.
1021
00:55:56,607 --> 00:55:58,447
Reynolds told us.
? Oh, you know, do you?
1022
00:55:58,948 --> 00:56:01,930
Then you haven't come for information.
But merely for the love of sport.
1023
00:56:02,245 --> 00:56:04,133
We've got Reynolds' sworn statement.
1024
00:56:04,407 --> 00:56:08,030
That you paid him the money to buy State's
certificates at a few cents on the dollar.
1025
00:56:08,447 --> 00:56:10,834
While you hoodwink us
into passing your Bill.
1026
00:56:11,124 --> 00:56:14,288
Which would compel the government to
pay you a hundred cents on the dollar.
1027
00:56:15,568 --> 00:56:16,198
So.
1028
00:56:17,127 --> 00:56:18,759
That's what he told you, did he?
1029
00:56:19,629 --> 00:56:23,238
That's the reason for the whole thing.
1030
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,519
Senator Roberts, remember you've
only Reynolds' word for this.
1031
00:56:26,702 --> 00:56:29,185
Gentlemen, let's try to be
frank with one another.
1032
00:56:29,963 --> 00:56:31,178
You have come here today.
1033
00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:33,857
Not because you believe
me guilty of this accusation.
1034
00:56:34,282 --> 00:56:37,375
But because you repent the bargain
you made with me to vote for my Bill.
1035
00:56:37,917 --> 00:56:39,333
You're afraid of your own party.
1036
00:56:39,650 --> 00:56:40,955
Your courage has failed you.
1037
00:56:41,364 --> 00:56:45,037
You see this as a tremendous opportunity
to free yourselves from your promise.
1038
00:56:45,212 --> 00:56:47,172
That is the true statement
of facts, Mr Jefferson.
1039
00:56:47,290 --> 00:56:48,948
Whatever you may think to the contrary.
1040
00:56:49,134 --> 00:56:51,090
You dislike me. You are afraid of me.
1041
00:56:51,616 --> 00:56:54,864
And this is part of an organised
conspiracy to force me to resign.
1042
00:56:55,541 --> 00:56:58,131
Time and again you're charged me
with dishonesty in The Treasury.
1043
00:56:58,231 --> 00:56:59,675
And time and again I've proved ..
1044
00:56:59,815 --> 00:57:02,004
That there was no shadow of
foundation to your accusation.
1045
00:57:02,238 --> 00:57:04,532
And you've slunk away,
whipped and defeated.
1046
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,614
And now here you are!
Yelping at my heels again.
1047
00:57:07,850 --> 00:57:09,588
And ready to tear me to pieces.
1048
00:57:10,151 --> 00:57:12,043
Had I desired to defraud The Treasury.
1049
00:57:12,274 --> 00:57:16,180
Should I have been driven to the need
of un-kennelling Reynolds to assist me?
1050
00:57:16,729 --> 00:57:19,032
If I thought that you
really believed this story.
1051
00:57:19,402 --> 00:57:22,125
I should not hesitate to
give you proof of its falsity.
1052
00:57:22,648 --> 00:57:25,063
But you know .. that
what you accuse me of ..
1053
00:57:25,475 --> 00:57:27,300
Has no foundation in truth.
1054
00:57:30,504 --> 00:57:31,233
I admit.
1055
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:33,581
That I had transactions.
1056
00:57:33,976 --> 00:57:35,168
With that man Reynolds.
1057
00:57:36,610 --> 00:57:38,091
But they were of a private nature.
1058
00:57:38,859 --> 00:57:40,760
And I swear that my
connection with him ..
1059
00:57:41,341 --> 00:57:43,674
Is in no way bound up
with my public office.
1060
00:57:44,913 --> 00:57:45,938
I make an appeal.
1061
00:57:46,622 --> 00:57:47,837
To your sense of justice.
1062
00:57:48,644 --> 00:57:50,037
And I ask you gentlemen.
1063
00:57:50,782 --> 00:57:52,159
To drop this investigation.
1064
00:57:52,959 --> 00:57:54,848
If our accusation is false.
1065
00:57:55,351 --> 00:57:56,960
Why not tell us the facts?
1066
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,050
Because they would
be of no value to you.
1067
00:58:00,944 --> 00:58:03,180
And would cause great suffering ..
1068
00:58:03,700 --> 00:58:05,815
To some who are very dear to me.
1069
00:58:06,310 --> 00:58:08,707
You mean .. it's a domestic affair?
1070
00:58:09,785 --> 00:58:11,038
In a sense, yes.
1071
00:58:11,869 --> 00:58:14,262
Something .. that affects your wife?
1072
00:58:16,969 --> 00:58:19,629
Yes, sir. Something
that affects my wife.
1073
00:58:21,606 --> 00:58:23,065
In that case ..
? Mr Hamilton.
1074
00:58:23,788 --> 00:58:25,956
As a trusted representative
of the people ..
1075
00:58:26,156 --> 00:58:28,692
I feel it my duty to ask
you a few questions.
1076
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:29,655
Yes?
1077
00:58:29,755 --> 00:58:31,045
Well, in the first place ..
1078
00:58:31,580 --> 00:58:34,423
In what way is your wife mixed
up with ..? ? Stop!
1079
00:58:34,769 --> 00:58:36,148
There'll be no more of this.
1080
00:58:36,248 --> 00:58:38,365
I am ashamed of the act
that has led to this inquiry.
1081
00:58:38,590 --> 00:58:41,362
But I am more ashamed of my
cowardice in begging for your charity.
1082
00:58:41,842 --> 00:58:43,070
You shall have the facts.
1083
00:58:43,460 --> 00:58:45,277
During the absence of my wife abroad.
1084
00:58:45,635 --> 00:58:47,165
I became intimate with Mrs Reynolds.
1085
00:58:47,471 --> 00:58:48,858
It doesn't matter how or where.
1086
00:58:49,206 --> 00:58:52,764
Since that night I have been repeatedly
blackmailed by that man, Reynolds.
1087
00:58:52,864 --> 00:58:54,567
Alexander!
? I have no excuse to make.
1088
00:58:55,031 --> 00:58:56,312
But it is now clear to me.
1089
00:58:56,756 --> 00:59:00,099
That this whole thing was engineered
by certain political opponents.
1090
00:59:00,707 --> 00:59:03,459
A plot to discredit
Washington's administration.
1091
00:59:03,810 --> 00:59:04,810
And my office.
1092
00:59:05,477 --> 00:59:07,518
Excuse me gentlemen,
but this is my birthday.
1093
00:59:07,801 --> 00:59:09,320
And I've come to claim my husband.
1094
00:59:09,488 --> 00:59:11,624
In a few moments, dear.
In a few moments, I'll come.
1095
00:59:11,724 --> 00:59:14,160
I don't think we need ask
Mrs Hamilton to withdraw.
1096
00:59:14,708 --> 00:59:15,865
Our business is over.
1097
00:59:16,474 --> 00:59:19,489
Is anything the matter, father?
? It's alright, my girl. It's alright.
1098
00:59:20,014 --> 00:59:22,160
I deeply regret you should
have been subjected to this.
1099
00:59:23,062 --> 00:59:26,104
I give you my word that not one
syllable shall ever pass my lips.
1100
00:59:26,999 --> 00:59:28,976
I'm sorry. I was misinformed.
1101
00:59:29,619 --> 00:59:30,463
I apologise.
1102
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,543
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
1103
00:59:32,737 --> 00:59:34,085
I'm not satisfied with this.
1104
00:59:34,466 --> 00:59:35,509
I won't be muzzled.
1105
00:59:36,908 --> 00:59:37,952
You must excuse me.
1106
00:59:39,168 --> 00:59:42,375
But I cannot stand by as Senator Roberts
maintains this offensive attitude.
1107
00:59:42,982 --> 00:59:44,398
And I wish to express my regret.
1108
00:59:44,885 --> 00:59:46,416
That a representative of the Senate.
1109
00:59:46,749 --> 00:59:48,508
Should behave in such
a deplorable fashion.
1110
00:59:49,107 --> 00:59:50,113
I take my leave.
1111
00:59:53,688 --> 00:59:55,965
Well, Jefferson's
words don't alter facts.
1112
00:59:56,369 --> 00:59:57,528
Not with me they don't.
1113
00:59:58,381 --> 01:00:00,374
Your Bill is coming
up tomorrow, ain't it?
1114
01:00:01,246 --> 01:00:03,870
Now what would you say if the
newspapers came out in the morning ..
1115
01:00:04,299 --> 01:00:06,626
With the story that the
Secretary of the Treasury ..
1116
01:00:06,825 --> 01:00:08,646
Was playing crooked
with the nation's money.
1117
01:00:08,909 --> 01:00:11,026
Is there any danger of
the papers getting it?
1118
01:00:11,266 --> 01:00:12,599
There is more than a danger.
1119
01:00:12,699 --> 01:00:14,323
The Advertizer has got the story now.
1120
01:00:14,601 --> 01:00:17,385
And is going to publish it tomorrow
unless .. ? Unless?
1121
01:00:17,587 --> 01:00:19,223
Well, unless you deny it.
1122
01:00:19,416 --> 01:00:20,756
Which you couldn't very well.
1123
01:00:20,856 --> 01:00:23,439
Because there are the proofs that
you paid the money to Reynolds.
1124
01:00:23,721 --> 01:00:25,628
And you can't explain why.
1125
01:00:28,375 --> 01:00:29,665
You've got me, haven't you.
1126
01:00:30,686 --> 01:00:32,596
Now, Mr Hamilton.
1127
01:00:34,045 --> 01:00:36,586
I you will withdraw
your Assumption Bill ..
1128
01:00:36,940 --> 01:00:38,945
I'll guarantee that the
story will not be printed.
1129
01:00:39,325 --> 01:00:43,731
Alexander, I don't know or care about
this false charge brought against you.
1130
01:00:44,220 --> 01:00:46,371
But you've worked for
that Bill for eight years.
1131
01:00:46,792 --> 01:00:49,227
No-one knows as well as
I how hard he has worked.
1132
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,760
And you must not withdraw it.
1133
01:00:50,954 --> 01:00:52,569
Well, the Bill is killed, either way.
1134
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,455
If this story of your being mixed
up with this woman comes out ..
1135
01:00:58,488 --> 01:01:01,098
Ah well, I'm sorry. I ..
1136
01:01:01,834 --> 01:01:03,573
Well, what's the good
of mincing matters?
1137
01:01:10,922 --> 01:01:11,784
Alexander.
1138
01:01:13,594 --> 01:01:14,677
Is it true?
1139
01:01:20,777 --> 01:01:21,577
Betsy.
1140
01:01:27,269 --> 01:01:28,966
Does anyone else .. know?
1141
01:01:29,766 --> 01:01:30,352
No.
1142
01:01:32,435 --> 01:01:34,764
Then it need never .. be known.
1143
01:01:35,921 --> 01:01:37,710
Then you withdraw your Bill?
1144
01:01:38,910 --> 01:01:40,372
No! No, I can't do it.
1145
01:01:40,677 --> 01:01:43,378
I've done with bargains. I've bargained
with my conscience for long enough.
1146
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:46,206
But I can't stand in the mud
and barter America's honor.
1147
01:01:46,570 --> 01:01:47,938
My Bill stands!
1148
01:01:48,317 --> 01:01:50,532
Get out and tell your story.
And I'll tell mine.
1149
01:01:50,717 --> 01:01:52,219
What will you tell?
? The truth.
1150
01:01:52,404 --> 01:01:54,418
The whole degrading, sordid truth.
1151
01:01:54,888 --> 01:01:57,954
In tomorrow's newspaper, I'll
publish every fragment of evidence.
1152
01:01:58,195 --> 01:02:00,069
In connection with my
disgrace with this woman.
1153
01:02:00,169 --> 01:02:02,352
If there is to be dishonor,
it shall fall on me.
1154
01:02:02,582 --> 01:02:03,995
And not on this administration.
1155
01:02:04,168 --> 01:02:05,529
I'll sacrifice my name.
1156
01:02:05,802 --> 01:02:07,101
I'll sacrifice my home.
1157
01:02:07,409 --> 01:02:10,292
But by God, Betsy,
I cannot sell my country.
1158
01:02:17,099 --> 01:02:18,449
"<i>Latest sensation!</i>"
1159
01:02:18,646 --> 01:02:21,309
"<i>Secretary of the Treasury
confesses scandal!</i>"
1160
01:02:24,739 --> 01:02:26,180
"<i>Latest sensation!</i>"
1161
01:02:26,878 --> 01:02:29,729
"<i>Secretary of the Treasury
confesses scandal!</i>"
1162
01:02:30,604 --> 01:02:31,460
Hamilton?
1163
01:02:32,630 --> 01:02:33,378
Well.
1164
01:02:33,843 --> 01:02:36,588
Who'd have thought Hamilton would
have got mixed up in a thing like that.
1165
01:02:36,688 --> 01:02:39,067
Gentlemen, I'd hate to be in his shoes.
? So would I.
1166
01:02:39,489 --> 01:02:40,563
It don't make sense.
1167
01:02:40,663 --> 01:02:43,690
"<i>Secretary of the Treasury
confesses scandal!</i>"
1168
01:02:44,489 --> 01:02:46,158
"<i>Latest sensation!</i>"
1169
01:02:47,020 --> 01:02:50,907
"<i>Secretary of the Treasury
confesses scandal!</i>"
1170
01:04:36,115 --> 01:04:37,073
For remembrance.
1171
01:04:38,281 --> 01:04:39,242
Betsy.
1172
01:05:39,616 --> 01:05:41,178
He's almost packed and ready to go.
1173
01:06:00,653 --> 01:06:01,708
It's good of you.
1174
01:06:02,763 --> 01:06:04,476
To come to tell me goodbye.
1175
01:06:06,726 --> 01:06:09,124
But I didn't come to tell you goodbye.
1176
01:06:20,793 --> 01:06:23,015
You didn't really care for her, did you?
1177
01:06:23,356 --> 01:06:24,004
No ..
1178
01:06:35,719 --> 01:06:36,882
[ Door knocks ]
1179
01:06:37,507 --> 01:06:38,263
Yes?
1180
01:06:39,442 --> 01:06:42,160
Mr Jefferson and Senator
Monroe want to see you, sir.
1181
01:06:42,467 --> 01:06:45,626
Mr Maurice and Mr Gerald,
and a lot of other gentlemen.
1182
01:06:46,359 --> 01:06:47,403
Alright, I'll come.
1183
01:06:49,414 --> 01:06:50,349
My friends.
1184
01:06:51,329 --> 01:06:52,839
My friends of yesterday.
1185
01:06:54,152 --> 01:06:55,339
They've come to tell me.
1186
01:06:55,934 --> 01:06:57,027
That my Bill.
1187
01:06:57,586 --> 01:06:58,427
Has failed.
1188
01:06:58,833 --> 01:07:00,177
Oh, my dear.
1189
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:01,934
Betsy.
1190
01:07:03,255 --> 01:07:04,242
Wait for me here.
1191
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:05,482
No.
1192
01:07:06,038 --> 01:07:07,461
Let me stand by you.
1193
01:07:08,178 --> 01:07:08,913
Hmm.
1194
01:07:29,315 --> 01:07:30,156
Gentlemen.
1195
01:07:31,052 --> 01:07:32,291
I am at your service.
1196
01:07:32,503 --> 01:07:33,617
Colonel Hamilton.
1197
01:07:33,937 --> 01:07:35,677
You see before you
men of your own party.
1198
01:07:36,241 --> 01:07:37,824
As well as your political opponents.
1199
01:07:38,256 --> 01:07:39,850
They have asked me to speak for them.
1200
01:07:39,950 --> 01:07:40,965
Now, Mr Jefferson.
1201
01:07:41,542 --> 01:07:43,161
Let me spare you that painful duty.
1202
01:07:44,189 --> 01:07:45,376
I know why you are here.
1203
01:07:45,932 --> 01:07:48,396
You have come in advance of
President Washington's orders.
1204
01:07:48,594 --> 01:07:49,876
To relieve me of my office.
1205
01:07:50,379 --> 01:07:53,154
And to tell me .. that my
Bill has been defeated.
1206
01:07:54,877 --> 01:07:56,192
I must accept the verdict.
1207
01:07:56,802 --> 01:07:57,859
Colonel Hamilton.
1208
01:07:58,283 --> 01:08:00,472
I have been asked to tell you
