:21:00
Here.

James McNod.
James McNod.
:21:04
He couldn't come today.
He had to go and buy flour.
:21:08
Then I've got to fine him.
Thas the law.
:21:10
You don't have any right to fine
a man for not coming, if he can't.
:21:14
I thought thas what
this war was about.
:21:16
People paying taxes when they
didn't have no say-so about it.
:21:19
Thas right. Thas what
I'm carrying Long Tom for.
:21:22
Ain't up to me.
Talk to the General.
:21:25
We can let that go this time.
Thas enough of the roll call, too.
:21:30
You can check up later.
:21:32
Stand at ease, men.
:21:36
Neighbours,
ever since New York
:21:40
and the 12 colonies signed
the Declaration of Independence,
:21:43
this Revolution has turned
into a real war.
:21:47
So far, we've been lucky
here in the Mohawk,
:21:49
but it looks like we are going
to be dragged into it too,
:21:53
sure as shooting.
Thas why I got you here,
:21:56
to get ready,
no matter what happens.
:22:00
I guess we all feel the same way
about it.
:22:03
This is our home and land
and I say is worth fighting for.
:22:07
Only we got to do it by ourselves.
Congress can't help us.
:22:13
They say Washington needs
all the troops he can get
:22:15
and that the frontier will have to
look out for itself.
:22:19
Maybe them soldiers don't like
the liquor we drink up here, huh?
:22:23
Adam!
:22:26
Maybe not,
but thas what they say.
:22:30
Now about the Indians.
From all I hear,
:22:32
the Tories are making them
a lot of big promises.
:22:36
We got our agents working, too.
We can't tell which way they'll go.
:22:40
We'll have no trouble with them.
We've always treated them fair.
:22:44
Maybe, but just the same if you hear
the bell ringing at the fort
:22:48
or the cannon go off, you drop
everything and come running.
:22:52
Do you understand?
All of you, come running.
:22:55
Else I'll have you flogged so fast
you won't know what.
