"General, if you will take but a moment to consider..." "I don't have a moment, John." "We're already moving too slowly as it is to entertain the notion of moving any slower." "Unless you think it wise to be trapped between the French fleet and the Continental Army?" "Of course not, sir." "I think it wise to destroy Washington's army now and cause the French to reconsider their support." "( Sighs )" "You propose to leave our rear guard undefended?" "Lightly defended. 1,500 infantry." "Just enough to tempt the enemy into open ground." "And once they take the bait, that's when Cornwallis brings up his division." "If they take the bait." "Lee is heading their advance corps." "He will march half of Washington's army into the jaws of a trap and then preside over a disastrous retreat." "Their columns, their spirits will be broken, sir." "Well, you're in quite the hurry to end this, aren't you, John?" "As I assume you are, sir." "Oh, I can't wait to get back to London, true." "But it seems you can't wait to get back to Philadelphia even more." "So, where do you suppose this trap best be sprung?" "Monmouth Courthouse." "The surrounding farmland will leave Clinton's baggage train exposed." "We can pin his rearguard between the treeline here whilst the rest of our division encircles them from the left." "He'll have the surprise of his life, sir." "I fear surprise will not be a factor." "Sir, our main body is so large that any element of surprise will surely be lost." "We don't need surprise." "For the first time in this bloody conflict, we have the numbers... nearly 6,000 to their 1,500." "How have you come by that number, sir?" "Tallmadge, I would've hoped that General Washington would've impressed upon you that the key to victory lies in having the correct intelligence." "I learned these numbers from my scouts, of course." "And have they told you where Cornwallis is?" "If he counters our charge, we may not be able..." "By the time Clinton and Cornwallis bring up their columns," "I'll have decimated their rear." "The regiments will be able to hold the rest till Washington arrives." "Of course with our esteemed commander camped back at Rocky Hill, he's likely to miss the whole show." "( Chuckles )" "Then perhaps we should wait for the reinforcements..." "Perhaps you should ready your dragoons." "They have the honor of leading the van." "You get to be tip of the spear, Major."

"We need to compile your final report from New York." "My... my what?" "I intend to send the entire history of our operation in York City to General Clinton's special adjutant, a Major John Andre." "Andre backs Simcoe." "He's the only reason Simcoe was saved from the court martial that he so desperately deserves." "The task of the Queen's Rangers is to root out hidden conspirators in Long Island." "We know that the real spies, the truly dangerous ones," " are in New York." " Yes... yes, sir." "If I can prove that to Andre, then he will learn that Simcoe does not need to remain here and he will move the Queen's Rangers out." "Um... but... but my mission was a... it was a failure, sir." "That's not the point." "Perhaps Andre can find something in your intelligence." "I need to show Andre that I am more useful to him than Simcoe." "And you are my best hope of that." "Let's go." "Uh, Major." "Major, please, my... my time in prison has, uh... it's played tricks on my mind, all right?" "I..." "I can't recall with any... accuracy the details before I was detained." "I know what it is like to look back on days that you would rather forget, but if we don't act now, there will be darker days to come." "Take the day to collect yourself, but I will need your report tonight." "Richard:" "Run." "What did you say?" "Tonight." "Don't look back." "You've taken this as far as you can." "Have I?" "This person Andre will see right through you and you know it." "To prove you're not a liar, you'll have to give up something true, such as the person you were really meeting with in New York." "( Sighs )" "I don't understand." "Which part?" "Silence Hewlett." "Do you mean... you mean kill Hewlett?" "I know, it seems impossible, all right, but it's not." " ( Scoffs )" " All right, he still fancies you." "So you take him out tonight, you take him down by the water, I can get the drop on him." " No." " No, no, no, it'll work." "It's gonna work." "We just make it look like Simcoe ordered it just like we did those other two Rangers." "No, Abe." "No, I won't do this." " I won't take part in this." " All right, why, why?" "Because it's murder and it's done in cold blood." "What?" "So, then you... you're not hearing me, all right?" "Hewlett plans to pass on my name to Andre." "You remember him from New York?" "Listen, when he hears the name Woodhull again, when he hears Setauket, where he already sent Robert Rogers to look into the ambush that we planned..." "There has to be another way." "Edmund is... he's not..." " Wait, Edmund?" " Major Hewlett." "Yes, Major Hewlett of His Majesty's Royal Army." "Have you forgotten who our enemy is?" "Have you forgotten we're at war?" "You've changed." "Ever since you got out of prison you're different." "Yeah, prison will do that to you." "Are you gonna help me get this done... or not?" "All right."

"Major Andre should be very interested in this intrigue nonetheless." "Um, how will you, uh... how will you get all this to New York?"

"I don't have to?" " No." "No." "All right, then why don't you tell me what I have to do?" "You only have to kill his courier." " What?" " Think about it."
