John... Jeb. John, no amount
of your father's ploys or theatrics
are going to get you or these Negroes
out of this, you understand? You are now surrounded
by 1,200 U.S. troops. You must surrender. [John Jr.]
We will do no such thing. We will exchange
the prisoners we have for safe passage across
the B&O bridge. That cannot be arranged. Then our business is done. John... Jeb... you heard my father. Our business is done if you cannot free
the Negro from bondage. You know the speech. You have until daybreak.
Have a good night. foreboding music
