TURN: Washington's Spies (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 7 - Judgment - full transcript

Mary:
I still don't like it.

Neither do I,
but it's the only way.

We could talk to him.
He might listen.

He's never gonna listen.

Abe.

If you strike your father with
such force he cannot stand,

- you could injure him far worse--
- I'm not gonna kill him.

And don't think of him
as my father, all right?

He is the man keeping
our son from us.

Abe...

Look,
once I get Thomas,



we'll go straight
to the cove.

Caleb will be heading
there soon, all right?

( donkey brays )

Simcoe.

Hide the trunk.
Hide the trunk.

- Is Rogers with him?
- No, I don't see him.

Maybe he's dead.

- Captain.
- Good day.

Woodhull.
Mrs. Woodhull.

Did you--
did you get him?

Did you get Rogers?

His capture is imminent.

In the meantime,
you'll be glad to know

we retrieved a piece
of your stolen property.



These are your initials,
are they not?

Would have been polite to warn me
he was armed, don't you agree?

Yeah, I-- I'm sorry.

Rogers had just mugged us

and I didn't want
to confuse it by--

Owning a proscribed weapon

that should have been surrendered
to the garrison last May.

- Yeah.
- I understand.

I was confused
by something as well.

Why you?

Of all the people
to rob in Setauket,

why did Robert Rogers

only choose you?

We're all alone
out here and--

Please.

I want to hear
your husband lie

one last time.

No?
Come.

Captain.

( grunts )

And now for a task
long overdue.

- Mary: No. No!
- Wait, wait, wait! You were right.

- Ah, here we go.
- You were right what you said on the road.

- Rogers is Culper.
- Is he now?

- Yes, I've been helping him
for over a year. - Abe!

Ever since the murder
of Captain Joyce.

Oh, yes, I heard about that
during my unfortunate captivity.

They said
the drummer did it.

No, Rogers said the drummer did it.
It was Robeson.

John Robeson
was the real killer.

He and Joyce were a pair of mollies.
I'm the one who found out.

And when I went to Rogers and I told
him, he used it against Robeson.

He blackmailed him.
He threatened him.

He forced him to spy and
forced me to watch over him.

Forced you?

All right, he told me that someone
else would be watching me,

that he had watchers
all over Setauket

reporting to him,
giving him shelter.

He said that if I didn't
watch over Robeson,

he would reveal that I had
been with Anna Strong.

That if I ever
betrayed him,

the death of my son would be
the last thing that I ever saw.

All right?
That is what he does.

He finds out everything about
you, your secrets and your shame,

and he ties it around your neck
like a noose and he chokes you.

Now I had no other choice.

I thought I had heard your last
lie, but that was quite impressive.

No, I can prove it
to you!

I have proof.
I'll show you.

I can prove it
to you.

So this was his lair?

Yeah, one of them
as far as I know.

You were supposed
to kill him.

You may as well kill me. I am a dead
man now that you've seen this place.

Have Cavil and Pierce
post hunting blinds,

one on the north tree line
and one in the horse stable.

- Yes, sir. - Don't worry, you'll
hardly know they're there.

We can't stay here.
Didn't you hear Abe?

Rogers will come for us
and Thomas, too.

Your son is safe at Whitehall. If you
wish to join him there, you're welcome.

Your husband
shall remain here.

As you say,

you're already dead.

But you can still
serve a purpose.

What? No.

Get Thomas,
get to the cove.

- What about you?
- Don't worry about me.

Get to Caleb. That's all
you need to think about.

I believe you will find
everything to your liking.

We'll have a cook,
a housemaid,

but unfortunately the other
servants are on leave.

I will make do
just fine, Benedict.

But you
shouldn't have to.

Peggy, Congress is withholding
a great sum owed to me.

But once this court-martial
business is settled,

then they will pay me back
in full, I assure you.

And you are certain
you will win?

All I must do
is show them the truth.

That I am loyal
to the cause

and not the treasonous villain that
Joseph Reed makes me out to be.

You saw yourself.

I could not do it.

I would no sooner betray my
country than I would you.

I have always seen
the virtue in your candor,

but when you're in trial,

take care that it's not
accompanied by anger.

And instead of
saying "I,"

try to say "our country"
whenever you can.

Identify yourself
with the army

so that when Reed
attacks you,

he's really attacking
America herself.

You make me a better man with
every word that you speak.

My words are only meant to
help you convey your loyalty.

That is what
makes the man.

I'm ready, John.

Took quite a lot
to perfect the high roll.

Did I get it right?

You spent so much money
tailoring this dress.

Sure you want me
to take it off?

Leave it on.

( breathing heavily )

André:
Abigail.

Abigail.

You were supposed to be halfway
to Philadelphia by now.

I'm sorry. The checkpoint
requires your signature now, sir.

- They sent me back.
- Give me the letter.

- I want to explain.
- There's no need to.

It is unfortunate,
but sometimes my job

requires unorthodox methods
to achieve results.

I think it best
that word of this

does not travel
with you.

( door opens, closes )

( bird squawking )

Abe's voice: Get to Caleb.
Get to the cove.

That's all you need
to think about.

( screaming )

Whoa.

There in the trees.
It's him.

I saw him!
There!

It's him.
It's Rogers.

There's nothing out there.
She's just jumpy.

No, he saw me and he
hid behind the trees.

I swear it's him. It's Robert Rogers.
He's gonna kill me.

We can't chase every ghost
that frightens you, ma'am.

Boone, take Fitch and Odell
to search the woods.

All the way down
to Frog's Cove.

Mary: It was Rogers.
I saw him.

He looked at me. I saw his
horrible, bearded face.

Simcoe: If he's there,
my men will find him.

In the meantime, you may ride with
me if it makes you feel safer.

Stay close.
( clicks tongue )

( chatter )

Come on. Come on.
Move it.

( horse whinnies )

Have you told him yet?

You have to tell him.

Better to offer no excuse
than a bad one.

But it's not an excuse.

It's truth.
He needs to hear it.

I need answers before
I can answer to him.

And if I wait
until Abe returns,

then I can make
a full report

on exactly how this ring
has dissolved.

But until that happy day, I
have other duties to attend to.

But you're going to walk into General
Washington's tent this day or the next

and you don't want to explain
what took you so long.

Major.

A gang of Tories was
just brought into camp.

- What, militia?
- Partisans.

They're in the stockade
ready for interrogation.

Thank you.

Other duties.

( distant chatter )

They ambushed a patrol
about 10 miles south,

then fled when
reinforcements came.

Our men pursued them to a farmhouse
where they made a stand.

We lost one man, another's
with the chaplain.

10 miles south, you said?
Where exactly?

Franklin Township.

Randall: Eight men
and one strumpet.

Wasn't sure
what to do with her.

Right, well,
clear the barn out.

Separate the prisoners. I'll
question them one by one.

( insects chirping )

( bird cawing )

( branches snapping )

( gunshot )

She was right.
It's Rogers.

- Report to the captain.
- Aye.

Odell, you're with me.

You need
a little warm-up?

You sure?

These nights can get
pretty cold.

( door opens, closes )

I have spoken
to the soldiers

involved
in the exchange.

They all say
that they saw a woman

from the window firing
along with the rest.

It was my home.

Have I not the right
to defend it?

So you were protecting
these Tories, then?

Just as I did with you.

Sarah...

just give me something.

Anything that I can
use to help you.

All right? Were--
were you pressured?

Did you aid these men
under some sort of threat?

I didn't aid anything.

I helped plan the ambush.

I led them back to my house
when our plan went wrong.

How long had--

exactly how long have you
been a part of this?

Since I learned I couldn't
stay out of this war.

Since the day it came
to my doorstep

and into my home.

But that's not what you wanted
to hear, though, is it?

I wanted to hear
the truth.

And I--

and I wanted
to thank you.

Properly thank you
for what you did.

You want to thank me,
Major Tallmadge?

Then return the favor
and get me out of here.

( men chatting )

Mary, might we have
a word in private?

No.

I don't know what vapors have gotten
hold of you, but this is important.

Falkoff: He's come back?
It doesn't make sense.

We chased Rogers
down to Oyster Bay.

What could possibly be in Setauket
to warrant the risk of returning?

Falkoff has a point,
Mrs. Woodhull.

I know what I saw.

- ( door opens )
- Captain! Captain!

We spotted him
by the water.

Robert Rogers.

Are you certain?

He shot at us
and we found his boat.

The others
are after him now.

I told you
that he was out there.

You need to bring my husband
here where it's safe.

So he traveled by water.

That's how he evaded us
at Oyster Bay.

Well, he's lost
his keel now.

Deploy all the men
to search Setauket.

And the coves.

And have them stay
in teams of four this time.

Are you not concerned you may
be leaving us unprotected?

I'll remain for your protection.
That's more than enough.

Post four reserves
on the perimeter.

Well-hidden and eyes out.

He's returned for me.

( men chatting )

Man:
Mr. Reed, your witness.

Reed: What was the
character of this man

whose schooner General Arnold
permitted to port in Philadelphia?

Captain Shewell was generally
regarded as a Tory.

He even was directed
by the commander-in-chief

to leave the army encampment
on pain of imprisonment.

For a treacherous captain who was
ordered to leave Patriot territory

by General Washington
himself.

Yes.

For a profit in his
favor, I should add.

Secretary Matlack,

to your knowledge,

was I aware of Captain
Shewell's reputation

when I granted him
passage?

Everyone was aware,

especially after news of General
Washington's order spread through the city.

Yes, you said that.

And do you know where I was when
this news came to Philadelphia?

- Up north.
- With the army.

I was off to battle.

Can you see, then,
how these petty issues

of whom to trade with might
not have crossed my mind?

Maybe.

But I heard profits
were made in your favor.

But this is not a matter
of profit sharing.

It is a matter
of granting a captain

of accused loyalism
access to our ports.

Speaking of which,
have you understood

that upon several alarms
this past year,

Captain Shewell turned out with the
Continental militia and did duty with them?

I know nothing
of that matter.

Well, I suppose
that's excusable, Secretary.

In times of war,

we must not always hold men responsible
for what they are not aware of.

( men murmuring )

Mary: While the squash is
boiling, stew the apples tender.

I'll come back
to add the dry bread.

You're preparing
a meal now?

Why are you pretending
there's nothing wrong

- when everything is?
- Excuse me.

The captain is in a more
dangerous season than you know.

- I know well enough.
- He threatened your son.

- When?
- Just last week.

Now, Thomas
is with Aberdeen.

I want you to take him and
flee at your first chance.

I know the tale that you and Abe
spun about Rogers is a lie.

Then you know if I flee with
Thomas, Abe will be exposed.

The truth will come
to light on its own.

And when it does, you do not
want Thomas anywhere near here.

You may be able to stand by and
watch Abe's demise, but I cannot.

Simcoe is not a problem
that will go away.

- Unless he does.
- What do you mean by that?

- ( door opens ) - What
are you planning to do?

Then widen the search. Captain
wants to keep the old man running.

- Yes, sir.
- Aye, sir.

( distant men chattering )

You will report only
what you come upon naturally

and only when it's safe.

We have many ways of keeping
our correspondence secret.

You want me to spy
on my neighbors?

Even though it was you who
lied to me about who you were,

you still don't know
who I am.

Look, Sarah, you want out of
here, this is how you get out.

By turning
against my own?

- This is the favor you return?
- Then lie.

All right?
Just sign it.

And then once you're gone,
you do as you will.

Just know I won't be able
to protect you a second time.

And when the war
is over

and this letter is
discovered, what then?

Am I to hang beside you
from the gallows?

Sarah, don't you see
by letting you go like this,

I'm all
but committing treason?

I know.

But I was the one
who chose to fight.

I chose because I was ready
to die for my beliefs.

But I'm not ready
to die for yours.

Philomena: ♪ And I will
love you all the days ♪

♪ In the night
would kiss and play ♪

♪ If with me
you fondly stray ♪

♪ Over the hills
and far away. ♪

John.

How did you get in here?

Oh, Cicero, is it?

( chuckles )

♪ If with me
you'll fondly stray ♪

♪ Over the hills and-- ♪

This is not
your cup, Philomena.

This is not your home.

I know.

I thought
I'd surprise you.

But I can always delay
my arrivals, as you know.

Perhaps you should
delay indefinitely.

Excuse me?

We-- this has come
to its end.

If you need me to be
the lady from the sketch--

You could never be her.

I was a fool
to ever think you could.

( door opens, closes )

( fire crackling )

He overestimates me.

Regaining Arnold's interest
in resuming correspondence

may be far past my reach.

Tell me, how does the good
major pass his days now?

He keeps busy

with his
responsibilities.

No hobbies?
Amusements?

He plays
on his violin still.

Does he wake you and your son
up with his early practice?

( laughs )
We don't mind.

- I minded.
- ( laughs )

And I assume he still keeps
relations with Philomena Cheer.

It's true, then?

It's not
what it seems.

How?
How is it not?

His profession
can sometimes require him

to steer certain people
in ways that are unorthodox.

- As he did with me.
- No. No.

He writes to me, but all
he really wants is Arnold.

Miss Peggy,
he loves you.

Please leave,
Abigail.

Please.

- ( door opens )
- ( crying )

( door closes )

This charge is about
giving menial offices

to a freeman
of the militia.

Menial offices?

We order men to put their
heads in front of cannons,

yet God forbid we ask one
to fetch a barber.

( men chuckling )

It was only to point out
a pattern of misconduct.

Such as with the military
wagons you used--

With my own quid,
Mr. Reed.

Yes, they were military,
but they were not in use.

You see, this is
a civilian's vendetta.

Arguably jealous of the
army's brave accomplishments.

He and his council have harassed
the military establishment

in Philadelphia
ever since we took it back.

This is not about the army.
This is about you.

I was one of the first
who appeared in the field.

And from that time to the present hour,
I have not abandoned her service.

And now I am faced
with this.

This vile
prostitution of power.

Such instances of glaring
tyranny and injustice,

I believe, are unprecedented in
the annals of any free people.

Gentlemen, I ask you,

is this the nation that these
free states are fighting for?

Knox: Of the second
and third charge,

the court does fully acquit
Major General Arnold.

With respect to the first
and last charges,

the court has determined to
sentence Major General Arnold

a reprimand from His Excellency,
the commander-in-chief.

A reprimand?
Only a reprimand?

This court-martial
is adjourned.

( gunshot )

Cavil, that you?

- Boone?
- Come here.

- What the hell?
- I bought us two minutes. We got to go.

- Where's Mary? What's going on?
- Mary?

- Did you leave them down at the cove?
- The cove?

- Yeah.
- What? No.

The only thing I left
at the cove was my boat.

The Rangers were there.
They were ready.

They knew
I was coming, right?

And they said
something about Rogers.

No, I got it in their minds
that he's here in Setauket.

They couldn't have known that you
were down at the cove. No one knew.

Except Mary.

You damn near
blew our heads off.

It's Rogers. I knew
this was a bad idea.

Shh, do you hear that?

( owl hooting )

It's him. We're good
as gudgeons out here

if we don't get
someplace safe.

Cabin.

Woody, they're coming.
We've got to go now.

- Simcoe has made her talk.
- What? We got to go.

No, you have
to get to Whitehall.

You got to check
on Mary and Thomas.

- Whitehall?
- Yes.

- Go. Hurry.
- All right.

- Good luck.
- Thank you. Go.

What the hell
is going on out there?

The old bear's
come for your head.

I told you.
He's everywhere.

We're gonna do him a little
favor if you don't shut up.

Now sit down. We're gonna
hunker here awhile.

I've been
at this post awhile.

You may find it
hard to believe,

but Major Tallmadge isn't the only
one who can offer special treatment.

It's a blessing
being a lady prisoner.

You're drunk.

I don't need
your kindness.

Don't worry. My kindness
doesn't require much.

Hey.

( groaning )

( gunshot echoes )

( overlapping voices )
We're under attack!

- Firearms ready!
- It came from over there!

You two, check
the other prisoners.

- Aye, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Oh, God.

What-- what happened?
What happened?!

She tried to escape.

And so you shot her?

Your face.

- I can explain--
- ( grunts )

- Sir!
- ( grunting )

- Leave him!
- Get him off him now!

( shouts )

- ( crickets chirping )
- ( owl hooting )

( clock ticking )

Mary:
Captain Simcoe.

I wanted to say I'm sorry for
not coming forward sooner

about Robert Rogers.

We were living in fear and that
led to regrettable choices.

And since it is to be
a long night for you,

I've made you some of my winter
squash pie and collops of rabbit.

Thank you.

You were able to spot
Rogers in the wood

when my trained
militia could not.

Perhaps you'd wish
to join me.

I must decline.

I've just had a warm bath
made upstairs.

Very well.

( birds calling )

( distant dog barking )

( gasps )

( gunshot )

( panting )

( wind whistling )

Ranger: Over there!
By the house!

( Rangers shouting )

Fitch:
It came from the front.

This way.

- Hold it!
- It's Rogers. He's here.

- He's here.
- Mrs. Woodhull.

Come on, we need to get you inside now.
Come on, come on.

- Ma'am, come on. Please.
- Wait, wait.

- Come on. Please, come on.
- No, stop. Stop it!

- No! No, let me go!
- What are you doing out here?

- ( grunts )
- ( gurgling )

( shrieks )

( high-pitched ringing )

Ranger: You, come with me.
You, take the back.

Falkoff:
Where's Fitch?

Sir, there was a...

a gunshot.

Where is he?!

Sir, sir!

They got Fitch.

No, no.

How did he get
behind the lines?

Fall back
to the house, now!

She's got them running
around in circles.

- Let's look in the back.
- How about the cellar?

- Nothing.
- You two, with me.

( door slams )

( breathing heavily )

( sounds echoing )

Sorry to alarm you, but I wanted
to make sure you were safe.

I'm-- I'm just
having a bath.

Aren't you going to ask me
if I'm all right?

( gunshot )

You want Rogers?
I'll give you Rogers.

- Ranger: The tree line!
- Ranger #2: Over there!

- Loose your guns!
- ( gunshot )

- Who is that?
- Spread out!

( gasping )

( sobbing )

( chatter )

Thank you, Robert.

Henry, you can count
on the Virginia militia.

Remember that.

General.

You had it printed?
The entire court record?

In English and French.

To be distributed throughout
America and Europe.

At quite the expense,
I'd imagine.

I want the world to know
of my exoneration.

And that justice
is valued in this army.

Well, you certainly
earned it.

Congratulations, sir.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
other matters to attend to.

A row between two of our officers
over prisoner treatment or some such.

Henry, wait.

General, I, um--

I plan to return
to Philadelphia today,

but not before settling the
matter of my reimbursement.

Reimbursement?

Four years' back pay.

And debts from
my Canada expeditions.

As you say, this was printed
at quite the expense.

Benedict, Congress
is bankrupt.

I mean, the damn
counterfeiters saw to that.

I've been going without.
We've all been going without.

- Yes, but I-- - Surely you
didn't think the court-martial

was holding back
your money.

This was about
defending your honor.

And you did that, sir.

That in the end will hold
more weight than coin.

You were--

Your absence these past days
has given me a realization.

You have your fortune
and your honor restored.

You should have the wife
meant to go with them.

What?

I don't want to wait
until March.

I want to be married now.

I thought
you'd be pleased.

Nothing could
make me happier.

But I need a respite.
