6:22:02
I think.
6:22:04
What are my orders?
6:22:10
We're a breath away from losing
this war, Benjamin.
6:22:16
In the north, Washington is
reeling from Morristown.
6:22:20
He's running and hiding
from 1 2,000 Redcoats.
6:22:23
In the south, Cornwallis has
broken our back.
6:22:25
Captured over 5000 of our troops
when he took Charles Town.
6:22:29
And he destroyed the only army
between him and New York.
6:22:34
Nothing will stop him from
heading north to finish off Washington.
6:22:37
Unless we can keep Cornwallis
in the south till the French arrive.
6:22:42
They've promised a fleet
and 1 0,000 troops.
6:22:45
When?
6:22:48
Six months at the earliest.
6:22:51
You trust the French
to keep their word?
6:22:53
Absolument.
6:22:57
Benjamin Martin.
Major Jean Villeneuve.
6:23:00
French Seventh Light Foot.
He will help train the militia.
6:23:04
The hero of Fort Wilderness.
Your reputation precedes you.
6:23:12
You really expect to hold Cornwallis
here using just militia?
6:23:15
Not me. You.
6:23:20
They're not soldiers,
they're farmers.
6:23:22
They'd be better off letting
the British march through.
6:23:25
They'd be better off,
but the cause wouldn't.
6:23:28
How many men does Cornwallis have?
6:23:31
8000 infantry.
6:23:33
Around 600 cavalry.
6:23:36
I'm giving you a field commission
as a colonel.
6:23:39
Might I request that you transfer
my son under my command?
6:23:42
Sir, no, l--
6:23:43
That's done.
6:23:48
Thank you.
6:23:51
Colonel, I've been a soldier
for two years.
6:23:53
As a scout, horseman,
marksman, scavenger.
6:23:56
-Is that so?
-I'd be of better use with Regulars.
6:23:59
Where'd you learn all that
riding, shooting, scavenging?
