TURN: Washington's Spies

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

That's all you need to think about.

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.

Come on. Come on. Move it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
