Speed deserved to know the truth of what we were about to face.
I told him everything.
Not knowing if he would believe me or think me mad.
Not knowing if he would have the courage to face the monsters...
that I had come to know.
You and me, Abraham, together we can accomplish anything.
There are no slaves. Where are they?
I was just wondering that.
Something isn't right about this, Abe.
Yeah.
I don't know how to dance.
Don't worry, I'll teach you.
Wait here.
Ladies and gentlemen...
dinner is served.
Bravo, Mr. Lincoln.
Bravo. You're even better than I'd heard.
A shame to sacrifice so many of my best men...
but I needed to know if you're up to the task.
What do you want with me?
To see you liberated.
To see you rise up and destroy your oppressor.
That's interesting advice, coming from a slave owner.
Men have enslaved each other...
since they invented gods to forgive them for doing it.
I've seen Jews build Egypt's glory.
Seen Christians...
thrown to lions with my own eyes.
And I've seen Africans sell their own kind to Europeans.
May I share one of the revelations of my 5,000 years?
We're all slaves to something.
I, to eternity.
You, to your convictions. Others, to the color of their skin.
All I ever wanted...
was to see my kind granted their rightful place.
But there are those of us, those like your friend Henry...
who enjoy living in the dark.
And as you're doubtless aware...
I cannot personally destroy him, nor he I.
You, Mr. Lincoln...
you could eliminate those last pockets of resistance...
beginning with Henry Sturges himself.
All I ask...
is for you to break your chains.
Kill your master.
Be free.
And if I refuse?
Then you go on your merry way.
After I make you one of us, and...
spoon-feed you your friend.
Now, a simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.
Kill Henry...
save your friend.
Feel free to take your time to decide. Five...
four...
three...
two...
one.
Come on!
This way.
Miss Tubman, Miss Tubman. We've been waiting for you.
Come quickly.
People getting killed every day.
Slaves disappearing.
Some people talk about monsters and demons.
Good morning. Good morning.
How can I assist you on this beautiful day?
We're looking for three men.
You know, I did see someone run down that way.
You're welcome to come in if you like.
Our service is about to begin.
Right, let's keep going.
I take it y'all came from up North?
Yes, ma'am.
Well, I suggest you get back there as fast as you can.
There's a war coming.
A war for the soul of the country.
Going to be all colors of blood spilled.
Our nation was built on the backs of slaves.
Their labor, their blood.
More blood than you could possibly imagine.
I have seen this horror of the South firsthand.
I say the need for peace outweighs the needs of the Blacks.
I say that if the people of this great nation want slavery...
then let them have it.
The demon of slavery is tearing our country apart.
We must stand up. We must stand strong and fight.
Fight for the very soul of our nation.
Until every man is free, we are all slaves!
You cannot take on slavery, Abraham.
You cannot take on the whole South!
- Why, because of Adam? - No.
Are you afraid of him?
Because it is the only thing that has kept them sated for all these years...
and you take that away, then no one is safe.
So you get to choose who lives and who dies.
A great man once said...
"What we do, we do not for ourselves...
"not for one man, but for the good of all mankind!"
Not all mankind, Abraham.
Abe?
May I have my husband back?
He's all yours, Mrs. Lincoln.
Henry only saw the struggle his way.
But I began at last to see it another.
To see and to feel the even greater issues at stake.
So, he and I would go our separate ways.
As the Bible says...
the time had come for me to put aside childish things.
I would fight not with an ax...
but with words and ideals.
For a time...
they proved a stronger weapon.
Lincoln! Lincoln! Lincoln!
I appear before you to take, in your presence...
the oath prescribed by the Constitution of the United States...
to be taken by the president...
before he enters on the execution of this office.
The question of slavery is better settled with a pen than with a sword.
Fire!
Through twists of fate...
I found myself at 50 years of age...
the father of a nation that was tearing itself apart...
while trying to be the father to a boy...
not much older than I was when I lost my mother.
3,000 more dead.
When's the last time you had something to eat?
I'm not hungry, thank you.
You have got to eat, Abe. You're only human.
Come along, Willie.
Willie.
If you do this, there is no turning back, Abe.
I know.
I'm trying to protect the freedom of a nation.
If this war is truly a stand against evil...
then let it stand for something.
If it is a war for the freedom of man...
why not give all men a reason to fight it?
"All persons held as slaves...
"within any state or designated part of a state...
"the people whereof shall be in rebellion
"against the United States shall be then..."
"...and henceforward shall be free."
Good morning.
Precious little one...
what's your name?
Willie.
And your father? What's his?
Abraham.
What a beautiful silver sword.
How is our little soldier faring?
I've never seen anything like it.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what ails your boy.
Abe.
Mary's calling for you.
I'm so sorry, Abraham.
Why didn't they take me?
Because they know...
it is a fate much worse than death.
Mary...
is inconsolable.
She says she doesn't want to go on without him.
There is a way, Abraham.
You know that I can restore the dead.
Do it.
Mary...
Do it!
Your journal...
the one you always kept in your coat pocket...
I know I shouldn't have, Abe, but I needed to know what you were hiding.
If what you say is true...
I beg you...
give us our little boy back.
Mary, he wouldn't be our little boy.
He would be something else, something terrible.
Trust me, you don't want that.
You're asking me to trust you?
After you lied to me for all these years.
I did it to protect you, to protect our family.
And how did that work out?
You did this, Abe!
You did this! You brought this on him!
You brought this on our boy!
Let me go to them.
Make a truce with Adam.
We must stop this war. Willie's death is just the beginning.
Don't you dare say his name.
I warned you.
You didn't heed me.
How many more boys will have to die before you listen to me?
These boys are dying in vain.
We should pull the troops back.
Abraham, this war has cost us countless lives...
not to mention millions of dollars.
I thought we were going to make this country great...
not tear it apart.
This is the only way we can save the country now, Speed.
Send in troops.
Union troops are flooding onto the field.
We are now outnumbered...
and ill-equipped compared to the North.
We will support you...
but you will need to support us.
No, thank you.
Rest assured, Mr. Davis...
you'll have as many of my kind as you need.
Fire!
Ready!
Aim!
Here they come!
Fire!
Why did they drop their rifles?
Fire!
It's the first day of Gettysburg.
It's been a disaster.
I don't think the army can survive another.
If the rebels break through, they'll be here... in days.
The generals think we should evacuate Washington.
Run the war from New York or...
Boston, if need be.
You have to win this war.
If you don't, then all of it...
Then our son's death will have been for nothing.
How can I win a war...
when I can't even protect my own family?
Our men have no way of defending themselves against this enemy.
When our bullets are useless, our bayonets are powerless as this fork!
This...
Will!
Speed!
This. This is what we need.
A fork.
Silver.
Okay, okay.
How much do we need?
All of it.
And why tell me this, Mr. Speed?
Why betray your friend?
He is my friend, but I love this country even more.
And he, more than anyone, is responsible for tearing this nation apart.
You've done the right thing.
I know.
32, 33, 34, 35...
That is a lot of silver, Abe.
Now, how are we going to get all this there?
I'm sorry, Mary.
I'm sorry I've kept you in the dark all these years.
I need you, Mary.
I've waited a long time to hear you say those words.
I want you to leave Washington, Mary.
Miss Tubman, please have some tea.
I very much appreciate you coming to speak with me today.
Oh, yes.
Things have not been easy, what with my...
The death of my son and the war.
I need to get out of Washington.
And I need a lot of help.
This war ends tonight.
And with it...
our millennia of darkness.
We have to do this on our own.
No one can know what's on that train.
If we don't get those weapons to those boys at Gettysburg...
the war is over.
It's time we had a nation of our own.
Come...
we have a train to catch.
It's 80 miles from here to Gettysburg.
Eighty miles will decide whether this nation belongs to the living...
or the dead.
Is everything all right, Speed?
I just can't believe you're still writing in that book.
It's all in here, Speed.
The good with the bad.
What's this?
They're fleeing the nest.
Leaving Washington free for us.
Look at me.
I said look at me.
Leave her.
Don't want to miss this train.
Let's go.
Henry, what the hell are you doing here?
I just wanted to see how far your foolishness would take you.
I don't have time to argue!
I didn't come here to argue with you.
I came here to tell you that your dear friend Speed back there...
is a traitor.
He betrayed you, Abe. Speed is leading you...
You have no idea what you're talking about.
That's all according to plan.
You must get off this train.
No, you must get off this train.
This is not your war, Henry.
Ah.
They're here, Abe.
A whole heap of them.
We can't let them stop this train.
You go through there and you're dead.
Get out now, it's your last chance.
Did you load that thing?
We've got to keep them away from the locomotive.
Why don't you let him go, Lincoln?
Emancipate yourselves.
I will never follow you.
Oh, you don't have to follow me, Abe.
I have the train.
I have the silver.
Soon I'll have the whole country.
I'm going to destroy the myth of Abraham Lincoln...
so that history will forever know you not as a man...
but as a monster!
Lincoln set us up.
We've been tricked, Adam.
There is no silver on this train.
Abe!
Hello, Speed.
Where is the silver?
Silver?
Should be here.
Why did you lie to me?
To get you all in one place...
to finish you.
Speed?
No!
Mr. President!
There is nowhere left to run, Lincoln.
Where is it?
Where is the silver?
Right here!
Thank you, Henry.
I suppose some vampires can be trusted.
As can some men, Abraham.
If the train was a decoy...
where is the silver?
This isn't the only railroad.
A wise man once taught me...
always have a contingency plan.
Get me more!
Bayonets. Bayonets for Springfield muskets.
Springfield muskets!
Five-pounders and grenades are in the second wagon in the back.
Go now, go now.
Fire!
Four score and seven years ago...
our fathers brought forth on this continent...
a new nation conceived in liberty...
and dedicated to the proposition...
that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war...
testing whether that nation or any nation...
so conceived and so dedicated...
can long endure.
It is for us, the living, rather...
to be dedicated here...
to the unfinished work which they who fought here...
have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated...
to the great task remaining before us...
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause...
for which they gave the last full measure of devotion...
that we here highly resolve that these dead...
shall not have died in vain...
and that this nation, under God...
shall have a new birth of freedom...
and that government...
of the people, by the people, for the people...
shall not perish from the earth.
Our enemies have made their exodus.
Some back to Europe...
some to South America and the Orient.
They've seen that America shall forever be a nation of living men...
a nation of free men.
We make rather a good team, you and I.
One can't help but think of all the good we could do if we had more time.
Limitless time.
Lincoln!
Yes, well, time waits for no man.
We're going to be late for the theatre.
Hold onto this for me, Henry.
Mary, darling...
have you seen my hat?
It's on your desk in the office.
Have you seen my hat?
Abraham, let me make you immortal.
Let us fight through the ages, side by side.
Vampires are not the only things that live forever.
History prefers legends to men.
It prefers nobility to brutality.
Soaring speeches to quiet deeds.
History remembers the battle...
and forgets the blood.
However history remembers me, if it does at all...
it shall only remember a fraction of the truth.
One more.
A guy only gets that drunk when he wants to kiss a girl or kill a man.
So, which is it?
I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises
Ten thousand ways to lose
And you held it all
And I was by your side
Powerless
