The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 6, Episode 17 - Gettysburg - full transcript

Pow.

 

Vince, you're dead.
I shot you.

 

Vince! Vince!

 

Hey.
Hey.

 

I'm glad we got here
a day early.

 

It's like the calm
before the storm.



 

Check this out, man.

 

This is the actual field.

 

This is where it happened...

 

pickett's charge,
july 3, 1863.

 

Did i ever tell you
about my great ancestor,

 

major beauregard larouche.

 

Lead the only unit
to break union lines.



 

About a hundred times.

 

15,000 men drove straight
into the teeth of hell.

 

Huh. And got
their butts kicked.

 

Although the beauty is
tomorrow

 

we get to do it
all over again.

 

Who knows? Maybe this time
the good guys'll win.

 

Hey, you're
a piece of work, man.

 

You never know, vince.

 

The world might have been
a better place.

 

Uh-huh.

 

Sucks, man.

 

The only action
we're ever gonna see

 

is coming down here
and playing soldier like this.

 

We missed out on world war ii.
We missed out on vietnam.

 

We even missed out
on desert storm.

 

You sign up these days,

 

the only deployment
you're ever gonna get

 

is some punk-ass
u.n. Peacekeeping mission.

 

Yeah, peace is hell.
What can i say?

 

Hey, come on, baby.
Take my picture.

 

It's enough
to turn your stomach.

 

Forget it, joe.
These re-enactors...

 

they're all freaks.

 

Hey! Hey,
did you say something?

 

Proud of that flag,
are you?

 

A lot of good men died
defending it.

 

Why? You got
a problem with it?

 

You wave that flag around

 

you're not honoring
the dead.

 

You're rubbing salt
into some very old wounds.

 

Ok, all right.
It's cool.

 

We'll take it away, ok?
We'll put it away.

 

No, no, no. No.

 

Screw that.

 

It's a free country,
isn't it?

 

No thanks to what
that flag represents.

 

Freak.

 

No! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

 

Chill. Chill. Chill.
Don't worry about it.

 

Don't worry about it.
You got the whole weekend

 

to get your grudge out.

 

Get the hell outta here.

 

Look at this guy.

 

Great uniforms.

 

Repro muskets?

 

Oh, well,
andy's is the real deal.

 

Mine's just a knock-off.
Um, vince chance.

 

How you doing?
This is andy larouche.

 

Hi. Reed hollingsworth.
Where you from?

 

Baltimore...
originally nashville.

 

Medical corps, right?

 

Yeah.

 

Yeah, vince here's
a paramedic.

 

That means he gets to be
a field medic.

 

Lucky me.

 

Last year the biggest emergency
they had was a bee sting.

 

All right,
catch you guys later.

 

All right.

 

You two gentlemen mind
if i take your picture?

 

No, not at all.

 

Oh, great.
Right over here, please.

 

All right.

 

Where do you want us?

 

Over by the monument here.
That'd be nice.

 

Very good.
Up the steps. Yeah.

 

Here?

 

That's fine. On the steps...
yeah, that's great.

 

Hey, man, that camera
looks totally authentic.

 

Matthew brady himself
once owned it.

 

It captured images in the field

 

during chancellorsville
and gettysburg.

 

Now hold very still.

 

3, 2...

 

so where'd the guy go?!

 

Soldier. Soldier!

 

Where are your papers?

 

Hey, chill out, man.
Things don't start...

 

...until tomorrow.

 

You yankees,
surrender your weapons.

 

This piece was made
in 1863.

 

I don't surrender it
to nobody.

 

I say again,
you surrender your arms,

 

or you will not live
to see 1864!

 

What?

 

I'm gonna get me a room.

 

I'll see you guys later.

 

You better not,
yankee.

 

Oh, jesus!

 

Jesus!

 

Are you insane, man?!

 

You just shot him!

 

And i will do
the same to you

 

if you do not
drop that musket!

 

Do it, vince.
These guys ain't kidding.

 

Lieutenant,
put it down!

 

There is nothing
wrong with your television.

 

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

 

We are now controlling
the transmission.

 

We control
the horizontal

 

and the vertical.

 

We can deluge you with
a thousand channels

 

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity...

 

and beyond.

 

We can shape your vision
to anything

 

our imagination
can conceive.

 

For the next hour,
we will control

 

all that you see
and hear.

 

you are about to experience
the awe and mystery

 

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind to...

 

It is said
that great conflicts

 

are not settled by words,

 

but by iron and blood.

 

But what if we could revisit
those decisions?

 

Would we still surrender
to violence?

 

Maybe that guy
didn't really die.

 

T-t-t-that flash must have...

 

must have... hypnotized us
or knocked us out.

 

I don't know.

 

Lieutenant, you hold both of
these men for interrogation.

 

Have 'em wait there.

 

Hey, have you, uh,

 

have you still
got that radio?

 

Yeah, i still got my radio.
What do you want?

 

Turn it on.

 

Ok.

 

See if you
can get anything.

 

Yeah, there,
nothing. Ok?

 

Get the book
out of my pocket.

 

Here.

 

Vince, what
are you doing?

 

Here, here,
here, here.

 

Just turn to the chapter
on gettysburg.

 

Ok, what...
there, there, there.

 

What am i looking for?

 

There.

 

"Colonel angus devine.

 

"Thought
to have suffered

 

"from meningitis,

 

"disappeared on the eve

 

"of the final
battle of gettysburg.

 

Presumed to desert."

 

This is too friggin' weird.

 

Put it in
your pack. Hide it.

 

This is no
reenactment, andy.

 

Something that that...

 

that man with
the camera did

 

it... it...

 

it transported us.

 

Transported us where?

 

Not where, when.

 

Hey, hey, hey,
there he is.

 

That's the guy.

 

That's him.

 

Hey, hey! Hey!

 

Do you know these men,
mr. Prentice?

 

Can't say that i do.

 

You're lying!

 

You will speak
when you are spoken to!

 

It's the camera
that you use!

 

Quiet!

 

You, corporal,

 

you come over here.

 

I want you to tell me

 

where the rest of them
blue devils are.

 

Sir?

 

We know
they're assembling.

 

I, uh, i got
separated, sir.

 

Separated?

 

Then you are
a deserter!

 

He ain't no deserter, sir.

 

Then he's a spy.

 

He ain't no spy either.

 

Maybe you're both spies!

 

I'm a loyal member...

 

of the army...

 

of northern
virginia...

 

sir.

 

No matter.

 

No matter.

 

No matter at all.

 

My scouts are out there

 

gathering intelligence.

 

We will have
them yellow-bellies

 

hollerin'
for their mamas

 

all the way back
to the capitol.

 

Are you done,
mr. Prentice?

 

Uh, one more,
if you don't mind, colonel.

 

Uh, standing if you will?

 

I can hardly
breathe in this heat.

 

I don't think
it's the heat, sir.

 

I think i know what
your problem is.

 

If i did not think

 

that i could trade you
for one of my boys,

 

i would kill you
where you stand!

 

Colonel!

 

What!

 

Major hinton is hit!

 

Somebody get me the surgeon.

 

We lost him to a yankee shell
more than a week ago.

 

Remember?

 

Untie me.

 

Untie me, i'm a medic.

 

I'm a medic.
I can help this man.

 

He ain't lying, sir,
he can help.

 

Soldier,

 

untie that man.

 

Aaaahhh!

 

It's all right, son.

 

All of our
advanced troops,

 

they were moving up
the shamburg road.

 

We ran smack into
the 8th illinois...

 

aahhhh!

 

You did good, son.
You did good.

 

For the love
of god, help me!

 

Yankee,
you get in here!

 

Move over.
Excuse me.

 

Mini? Ball
shattered the bone.

 

The leg will
have to come off.

 

No, the leg's not going
to have to come off.

 

The bone can be set.

 

L... i need my bag.
You got it?

 

If you do not
remove this man's limb,

 

he will die of gangrene.

 

No, he will not die
if we sanitize the wound.

 

Aaahhhh!

 

I'm going
to need morphine...

 

or, uh...

 

ether, ether.
Whatever you got.

 

Corporal,
if this man dies...

 

so do you.

 

check it.

 

I just managed
to convince

 

colonel devine
that you're ready

 

to throw down with
the confederacy.

 

You did what?

 

This is what
we always wanted.

 

What is it
going to take

 

to convince you
that this is real?

 

You know what?

 

I don't know
if this is real,

 

or if it ain't real,

 

but i do know
that there's

 

a bunch of boys
out there who think

 

that they're going
into battle tomorrow,

 

and i am going
to go with them.

 

No, no. They don't think
they're going into war,

 

they are going into war.

 

28,000 rebel troops

 

are going to march
on the union positions.

 

From the west
to the north.

 

Tomorrow!

 

It's the first day
of the battle of gettysburg.

 

And we're going
to be there.

 

This is not a game.

 

Do you have any idea
how many people died?

 

No, no, no, no...

 

how many people
are going to die?

 

You know that
this is something

 

i always felt
cheated of.

 

What? I thought
you were talking about

 

you wanted to fight
for your country,

 

not against it.

 

The confederacy fought
against big government.

 

Now they fought
for state rights,

 

they fought
for individual rights,

 

now uncle sam,
old abe...

 

you call him
whatever you want,

 

i got all
the enemy i need.

 

Come on! You don't
actually believe

 

all that b.s.
Your spouting.

 

Yeah, well, maybe
you don't know me

 

as well as you
thought you did.

 

What's that
supposed to mean?

 

I'll tell you
what that means,

 

mr. Big
hotshot professional.

 

Me makin' 10 bucks an hour,
barely payin' my rent,

 

framin' houses
without medical!

 

It means that i'm sick
of gettin'

 

pushed around
my whole life

 

by bosses, by cops,
by i.r.s. Agents.

 

I'm sick of wetbacks

 

and welfare recipients
makin' it off my sweat.

 

You think that this
is a nightmare, vince?

 

My life
has been a nightmare.

 

And somebody
just showed me a way out.

 

Do you know what this is?

 

Payback time.

 

You're one lucky dog,
corporal.

 

Major hinton is showing
no signs of gangrene.

 

His fever even broke.

 

What's this, lieutenant?

 

You are the only medical officer
this unit has.

 

Congratulations.

 

You've just enlisted in
the army of northern virginia.

 

But don't think we won't
keep an eye on you.

 

Well, lookee here.
Score one for dixie.

 

Andy, this colonel devine,

 

he shows every sign
of viral meningitis.

 

Yeah? Well,
that's his problem.

 

No, no, no.
It affects the brain.

 

He's already
suspicious of us.

 

He's irrational.
He's dangerous.

 

There's no telling
what he could do.

 

Oh, my god.

 

That's general lee.

 

Nobody is
evergonna believe this.

 

Well, i hope we live
long enough to tell someone.

 

There he is.

 

Come on.

 

Prentice, you lying
son of a bitch.

 

You have to send us back.

 

What did you do to us?

 

I should think that
would be pretty obvious.

 

Yeah, but how?

 

How isn't important.

 

You have a mission.

 

What are you talking about?

 

There are lessons
you have to learn.

 

To tell you more
wouldn't make sense

 

until
you've learned them.

 

You're gonna have to do
better than that.

 

Where i come from, i'm
one of the few believers...

 

believers?

 

That events
can be changed,

 

that wrongs
can be righted.

 

Most are convinced that
history is self-correcting,

 

that changes
are compensated for,

 

that destiny will prevail
no matter what.

 

Your mission
is to prove them wrong.

 

I told you so, didn't i?

 

If you complete
your mission,

 

i'll take you back.

 

We are movin' out.

 

Fall in, soldiers.

 

Now.

 

Gentlemen,
assemble yourselves!

 

I'm happy to report

 

that lincoln's army
is on the run.

 

This mornin'
we attacked

 

from the north
and from the west,

 

and we are drivin'
the yankee army

 

clean through gettysburg.

 

They are...

 

retreating to higher ground
north of town.

 

Our orders are to gain as much
intelligence as possible

 

on the strength and position
of the enemy

 

on that hill.

 

General lee has
also informed me

 

that general stuart's
cavalry

 

will be here
at any moment.

 

No, they won't.

 

What was that?

 

crazy.
You.

 

What did you say?

 

Sir. G...

 

general stuart...

 

general stuart is
on a glory-seekin' raid

 

in maryland. He
ain't gonna get here

 

until it's too late.

 

You can keep your damn lies
to yourself

 

if you do not want
to taste the lead

 

of my repeater.

 

Do you understand?

 

Yes, sir.

 

Lieutenant.

 

Move these men out.

 

Hup!

 

Forward, march!

 

Where'd he go?

 

Andy: You know as well as i do
what prentice was talkin' about.

 

I don't know jack.

 

We know more about
what's gonna go down here

 

the next 2 days
than anyone else,

 

includin' the generals.

 

Yeah, and if we share
that information,

 

we don't just change
the course of this battle.

 

We could change
the course of the world.

 

We could, uh, change
the course of history.

 

All my life, i've wanted
to do somethin' important.

 

I just never thought
i'd get the chance.

 

Until now.

 

I'm not gonna
let you do it.

 

Is that right?

 

That's right.

 

Why the hell do you
think we're here, vince?

 

You heard
what the man said...

 

we got a mission.

 

Stand aside!

 

I claim this property

 

in the name
of the confederate army.

 

We're not at war with civilians,
certainly not women.

 

Place the major
on the settee.

 

I will need an account
of all stores

 

upstairs and down.

 

Search the house
for weapons.

 

My, my, my.

 

The lady of the house
is as big as one.

 

Where is your husband?

 

He was with
the union army.

 

He's gone
to his reward.

 

Our men are hungry...

 

thirsty.
We need provisions.

 

You don't need
my permission.

 

You're gonna
take it all anyway.

 

Nobody asked for this war...

 

but now that it's been brung,
wewillsee it through.

 

I'm not sure
i understand

 

the strategic value
of this hamlet, colonel.

 

What's so important
about gettysburg?

 

Take a look at
the map, lieutenant.

 

A dozen roads
converge here.

 

It's a crossroads.

 

It is not
about the town.

 

And it is not about
the ground, gentlemen.

 

We have
the union army here

 

and under a new commander
to boot.

 

If we can break the back
of meade's troops here,

 

we will march straight through
the shenandoah valley,

 

right to the steps
of the capitol buildin'.

 

And if you don't?

 

Did i give you
permission to speak?

 

Sir, all i'm sayin'
is that if we cut

 

quiet!
Through here,

 

these troops
quiet!

 

Are gonna be
comin' down... uhh!

 

Just hear me out!

 

You mind your tongue,

 

soldier, or somebody's
gonna slice it clean off.

 

Ahh, damn it.

 

What...
w-what's happening?!

 

Uh... the, um...

 

umbilical cord's wrapped
around the baby's neck.

 

Help my baby.

 

Please!

 

Don't let it die.

 

Ok, ok!

 

That's good.

 

Ok, now i'm gonna need you
to push one more time, ok?

 

One last push.

 

1... 2...

 

3!

 

Ohhh... you're ok!
Ok, ok, ok!

 

Ok...

 

Ok.

 

We got 2 arms.
We got 2 legs.

 

You have a gorgeous
little baby boy.

 

Hello.

 

Hey. You ok?

 

Thank you.

 

Hey, vince, you remember
that relative of mine

 

that fought
at gettysburg?

 

Mm-hmm.

 

Beauregard larouche,

 

the war hero.

 

What if
i'm here to see

 

that he didn't die
in vain?

 

Maybe even save
his life?

 

Vince, the civil war
went on for 2 years

 

after the battle
of gettysburg.

 

Now... now, if the south
had won a decisive victory...

 

then... then it might have gone
on for another 5 years, man.

 

Or it might've been
over in a week.

 

Gentlemen.

 

Gentlemen.

 

The colonel wanted me
to tell all of you

 

this unit's gettin' assigned
to another corps.

 

Which corps?

 

As soon as he arrives,
we'll be under the command

 

of one of the best...

 

general george e. Pickett.

 

Did you hear that?

 

"The teeth of hell."
You remember?

 

we have no chance.
We are going todie!

 

What are you doin',
man?

 

Where the hell
did you put the book?

 

Don't light a match
when you're sitting

 

on a million gallons
of fuel.

 

Now, we show them how
the federal troops are arrayed,

 

we could savethousands
of confederate lives!

 

Oh, ok, so now we decide who
lives and who dies, right?

 

Sure you're up
to playing god, andy?

 

I don't think you've figured
out how to be a man yet.

 

Get off!
Get him off!

 

That is enough,
soldiers!

 

You men don't
have the sense

 

of a jackass
between ya!

 

I do not care

 

how dug in
they are, major.

 

We are 75,000 strong.

 

There is no way
that they can hold.

 

Yes, sir.

 

Where are the rest
of your party, major?

 

We, uh, we came
under fire

 

on the way back
to the headquarters,

 

about 2 miles back.

 

All dead except
for my signalman,

 

will monroe, and...
and he's in a bad way.

 

The fire was too heavy
to risk bringin' him out,

 

and i had to get my
report to general lee.

 

No, of course, major.
No one can fault you.

 

With your permission,
colonel,

 

i'd like to go back
and get young will.

 

I just need a couple
of good men.

 

I'm sorry, major.
I cannot spare you

 

or anyone else
in this unit.

 

You are dismissed.

 

But, colonel,
we are not ordered

 

to deploy until
general pickett arrives.

 

I said you're
dismissed, major!

 

Yes, sir.

 

You!

 

You with the bag.
You.

 

You a surgeon?

 

Are you a surgeon?

 

Uh, yes.
S-so they tell me.

 

There's an injured man
that needs your help.

 

He's tore up
pretty good.

 

I want you and this man
to come with me.

 

Corporal larouche!

 

I need you and
this wagon right away.

 

Yes, sir.

 

Wait. Larouche. Are you
beauregard larouche?

 

Do i know you, friend?

 

N-no, sir.

 

No, you don't.

 

Larouche,
your ancestor.

 

This must
be the mission

 

that prentice
was talkin' about.

 

Major, we'd be happy
to help you out, sir.

 

All right, then.
Come on, now. Come on.

 

Where you from,
corporal?

 

Chattanooga!

 

What about your family?

 

Pa's a damn sutler!

 

Profiteer.

 

What kinda action
you seen?

 

More'n i care
to talk about.

 

You still believe
in the cause, don't you?

 

You mean stayin' alive?
Yeah, i believe in that.

 

For the rest of it...

 

hell, some days i forget
what we're fightin' for.

 

Just around that bend!

 

Right here.

 

Stay low, now.

 

Corporal larouche,

 

keep your weapon
at the ready.

 

Yes, sir.

 

Major!

 

Over there.

 

Open fire!

 

Drummond:
Get down!

 

Corporal! Cover me!

 

I'm comin', will!

 

Straight ahead!

 

Thank god almighty!

 

I told you i'd come
back for you, will.

 

Ohh!
Major!

 

Major.
Major!

 

Major!

 

Major!

 

Major!
He's gone

 

Major!
He's gone!

 

Come on, will.

 

We're gonna
get you outta here.

 

Come on! Up.

 

let's go.

 

Corporal, what the hell
did you do back there?!

 

I didn't want to die!
I seen too much of dyin'!

 

Prentice!

 

Got him?
Yeah.

 

Prentice!

 

Prentice!

 

Get the camera
outta your wagon,

 

and you take us
back to our own time!

 

You haven't completed
your mission.

 

I don't think that you
want to race a bullet.

 

Corporal.

 

Where is
major drummond?

 

Dead, sir.

 

I rescued that
soldier myself.

 

No one was to leave
this unit, corporal.

 

You defied my orders.

 

Major drummond
forced us, sir.

 

He forced us all.

 

We are at war,
corporal.

 

If we break down
the chain of command now,

 

we might as well
surrender!

 

You leave me
with no choice

 

but to make an
example outta you!

 

Colonel!

 

Colonel. Please put
the gun down, sir.

 

Uh, uh, please, now.

 

N-now, i know you think
that this man is the problem,

 

but he ain't.

 

I can't let you
do this.

 

You gotta believe me.
The only way,

 

the only way to...
to get in at meade's troop

 

is to come at 'em
from the flanks.

 

Soldier. Soldier,
you are out of line.

 

L... i know, but if you
can just give me a second.

 

I gotta make the colonel
here understand...

 

i understand.

 

I understand that
you disobeyed orders.

 

I understand that you
all disobeyed orders!

 

Colonel. Colonel, i will not
abide disloyalty, either, but...

 

silence, lieutenant!

 

I cannot believe that
you turned on me as well.

 

I have not, sir.

 

Come on, come on.

 

It is no matter,
lieutenant. Uhh!

 

That man will pay
for his indiscretion!

 

Lieutenant: No!

 

What have you done?!

 

Confiscate
that blasted thing!

 

No. Hey.

 

L... i need my wagon
and camera back.

 

Sir, my livelihood's
in those works.

 

Can't do, mr. Prentice.
I need that wagon for transport.

 

Until i know what the devil
happened to the colonel

 

i am not about to return
the apparatus.

 

Vincent.

 

Godspeed, vincent.

 

Forward.
Quick step, gentlemen.

 

The order to charge
is gonna be given

 

by pickett himself.

 

When the firing starts,

 

we're gonna
get the equipment

 

out of your wagon
and you gotta send us

 

back to our own time.

 

But i need
assurances.

 

What kind
of assurances?

 

That lessons
have been learned,

 

that the mission
is complete.

 

Prentice, we don't know
what you're talkin' about.

 

We've never known what
you were talkin' about.

 

I brought you here
to avert

 

one of history's
greatest tragedies.

 

You with me,
watch yourselves.

 

So you want us to prevent
pickett's charge?

 

No.

 

You want... you want
the south to prevail?

 

No, no, no.

 

The event
i want to thwart

 

didn't even happen
during the civil war.

 

What?

 

Then why are we here?

 

In november
of the year 2013,

 

america's
greatest president

 

was assassinated
in the midst

 

of delivering a second
gettysburg address.

 

A man hailed as
the greatest leader

 

since lincoln,
exactly 150 years after

 

after the original
gettysburg address,

 

he came here to bury
the symbol of slavery...

 

an emblem of hatred
and oppression.

 

The confederate
battle flag.

 

Yeah, so what does that
have to do with us?

 

Why the hell
are we here?

 

I wanted you
to see firsthand

 

that there's no
glory in this war

 

or any other.

 

I wanted you to know

 

what hatred and
bitterness can do.

 

What aren't you telling us?
What aren't you saying? What?

 

The man who assassinated
our greatest president,

 

he lead a group
supporting the flag.

 

When they arrested him,
he told them he did it

 

in the name of his
brave ancestor.

 

It was you, andy.

 

The assassin was you.

 

This was
my last attempt.

 

Everything i tried
to do to stop you

 

in the past
failed miserably.

 

The momentum of
destiny is powerful.

 

I still believe
it's not inevitable.

 

This experience should
have transformed you,

 

andy larouche.

 

Form yourselves, gentlemen.

 

We're about to make history.

 

Hey, you heard
what he said.

 

It doesn't have to be
that way.

 

Doesn't have to be.
You can change.

 

You can... you can
do the right thing.

 

You're right.
I can.

 

You risked your life
to save mine.

 

I just wanted you to know

 

that i am ashamed
of what i done.

 

But you reminded me
why i am a soldier.

 

It'd be a privilege
to fight alongside you, sir.

 

Wait! No!

 

You're all gonna die...

 

andy! No.
No, you can't.

 

The fate
of the confederacy

 

is in your hands,
gentlemen.

 

For the love of your home,
your children, your womenfolk.

 

For the love of virginia.

 

For the love of god!

 

Forward...

 

march!

 

Men, stay with me!

 

No, stop. Stop!

 

Hey, you gotta stop.

 

Andy!
Stop!

 

You're all
gonna die.

 

Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, stop.

 

You don't understand!

 

Pickett is sending you
to your deaths.

 

You're all gonna die!
You all gotta stop!

 

You gotta stop,
you gotta stop!

 

You gotta st...

 

i will not allow
cowardice, damn you!

 

Sir, you don't
understand...

 

stand down, soldier!

 

You gotta stop!

 

Stand down!
You are a traitor!

 

Andy.

 

God damn it.

 

Ohh! What did you do?

 

I'm so sorry.

 

Andy.
I'm so sorry.

 

Come on!

 

I'm so sorry.
Come on!

 

Ok, ok.

 

Andy, andy...

 

Oh, god.

 

Andy?

 

Oh, god!

 

Is this what you wanted
to have happen?

 

No. It was
his choice,

 

to overcome
his destiny.

 

It's time, vince.
It's time.

 

7 score and 10 years ago,

 

on this hallowed site,

 

thousands of decent men

 

gave their lives for causes
they believed in,

 

on both sides.

 

Today, we've finally
laid to rest

 

a symbol of divisiveness,

 

a symbol of separation
and conflict

 

with no disrespect or malice

 

for the soldiers
who carried it into battle.

 

I hereby consign
the confederate battle flag

 

to its eternal rest.

 

I'm colonel devine

 

of the confederate
states of america.

 

I shot lincoln!

 

President is down!
I repeat, the president...

 

you will
remember me.

 

You will remember me!

 

Despite everything we do,

 

we may never free ourselves
from the bonds of fate.
