TURN: Washington's Spies

The captured spies on both sides of the war head to the gallows; Benedict Arnold demands glory revenge.

♪ I know there will come a day ♪

before our guard boats could arrive.

To testify to the truth.

Or Arnold's family, for that matter.

I will consider it.

Major André has been captured by the enemy.

Second, by conspiracy to commit insurrection.

No, sir.

- It hurt very badly. - Richard: And that will be all.

The end? The end of what?

Lord, lettest thou thy servants depart in peace.

though he does not know his true name or location.

we should secure for her the emancipation

He does not hang without consequences.

We did.

And why did you not wed Thomas?

Everyone knows he was adulterous with that harlot Anna Strong.

that is, between enemy lines

And she is not your house servant.

Oh, I remember it well.

with the ruse that you concocted with Sutherland and Shanks.

And you think his case and mine are alike?

have any closing statements to make?

I started the riots at King's College.

To the army.

I underestimated you, Magistrate.

(gasping)

Benedict Arnold plots to turn over West Point to the British. Andre negotiates for Peggy. Abe plots revolt in Setauket.

It's very important you tell the truth.

- Burn it all! - Elias: Wait.

one last time.

Send that with a courier first thing tomorrow morning.

and I am late for my boat.

You done well, my sweet hummingbird.

- Welcome to West Point. - Thank you, General.

- Yes, of course. - Madam.

A flag of truce is always of import.

£50 of flour apiece

between the king and his loyal subjects.

plus compensation for your property

Yes, because the French understand that victory costs money.

Clinton can't fault you for a change in the weather.

And her name's not Shippen, it's Arnold.

Take some bread and beer and piss off.

so this will guarantee you.

- Caleb! - Annie.

You have the magistrate's word on it.

Your pointless hunt for Rogers

He won't rest till you regulars leave him the town

I'm a British officer.

- Cheers. - André: No!

(laughs) Oh, dearie me.

We're just doing our duty.

Perhaps I can save him the trouble.

Well, I'm a Skinner and she's Patriot property, friend.

And you didn't find that odd?

Jameson's voice: A Mr. John Anderson, who claims your close acquaintance,

- I must flee now. - You?

Sir! Let go of me! Sir!

The Culper Ring is resurrected in time to save Washington's army. Simcoe terrorizes Setauket as he hunts for Rogers. Anna infiltrates New York.

that we do still have one asset left to us in New York.

since I left him at the altar.

Nor is there anything more necessary for the cause.

"I owe you an explanation

I intend to flank him and collapse his center

I'm quite sure I won't.

Just act natural. He can't see me.

Thanks to your wife, I ain't got a boat.

It ain't ever gonna happen, though.

But I don't... I don't have any...

Please help me!

did Rogers command you to watch?

unless those aiding and abetting him come forward.

I was going to ask myself the same thing.

You can knock me if you like to even things up.

What makes you so sure he's still here?

based upon what I know.

I can cut your throat faster than you can scream for help.

I aim to know the major's comings and goings,

He was plotting to kill you.

At first...

because I cannot tell another lie

Perhaps he was driven to the enemy.

Cut off the head of the snake and the body will die.

Ah, the names.

We should never have sent the militia in place of the regulars.

It's a pity that no one can know about this.

Miss Anna!

Mary attempts to kill Simcoe by herself; Benedict Arnold defends himself in his court-martial; Ben reunites with his savior.

he would reveal that I had been with Anna Strong.

I will make do just fine, Benedict.

take care that it's not accompanied by anger.

I think it best that word of this

There in the trees. It's him.

But it's not an excuse.

(distant chatter)

So you were protecting these Tories, then?

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

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

And the coves.

Everyone was aware,

I know nothing of that matter.

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

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

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

Perhaps you should delay indefinitely.

It's not what it seems.

With respect to the first and last charges,

- (gunshot) - (grunts)

(owl hooting)

I don't need your kindness.

You two, check the other prisoners.

You were able to spot Rogers in the wood

(distant dog barking)

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

(sobbing)

And that justice is valued in this army.

Washington goes to Benedict Arnold's Philadelphia ball; Abe tries to stop Rogers from reaching Townsend; old friends and enemies collide.

Set their hounds to me, did you, farmer?

And he needs you to testify the same.

Many mickles make a muckle.

Woodhull, you may return home.

Caleb, I need to leave for Philadelphia.

So I met him at his old boardinghouse.

Yeah. Well... yeah.

Ridiculous.

Because you opened this line of communication.

- What are you doing? - I don't know, Peggy.

That's the key. He has the power to overrule this postponement.

Why don't we wait until he arrives

- This is all very confusing. - It does seem so, doesn't it?

Why wait until then? Just get it over with.

is the same 14-year-old girl who sat across from me

So good of our host to admit you without an escort.

My God, look at the size of this place, eh?

You seem quite taken.

Now, I know you wish to remain impartial, and I respect that,

How many men have you sent in your stead?

And neither are any of you.

We'll be at this for weeks unless we narrow the search.

I noticed you speaking with our host.

Ahem, General, sir.

Mr. Townsend, welcome.

Maybe I haven't introduced myself.

Why?

Well, it's been a great pleasure

it'd be a shame to waste a bullet.

Becky, who's Philomena?

And left his weapon?

Setauket.

Townsend uncovers a British counterfeiting operation. Rogers threatens to destroy Abe's spying ring. Simcoe threatens Richard.

♪ There's snakes in the garden ♪

If you keep still, so will the deer.

- Like that, then? - Well done, Missy.

but I hope you see my best efforts are not behind me.

The Glencairn will take you up the Hudson

You men have been chosen based on your previous trade contacts.

That's not what I...

And maintained contact with her while the British were in Philadelphia.

- (sheep bleating) - (dog barking)

- James: I'll walk you up. - Samuel: I assure you...

It's a new piece composed by an Austrian fellow.

If I am caught, Rivington will not be the one to do it.

Why, Father, wouldn't that be considered a holiday?

May I suggest you take your son and retreat into your home?

Well, best give him a wide berth.

Please. Please. Please. Please.

and it would not serve you well to deny what you have seen

As the ranking officer in Setauket,

Huh, bit of a late start.

But, listen, it'll be me who comes to see you from here on out.

- Good day. - Good day.

I've chosen this room as my new office.

you requesting permission before entering my office.

Please tell 711 as fast as possible."

Now he's alive, he's back here, he's looking for me.

This must be Mrs. Cabbage Farmer.

- What else? - Nothing.

You can't talk to Townsend.

But we will never see each other again.

Perhaps if you had neglected just a few of your many whores,

We find them, we can recover all the counterfeit dollars.

I help you when you want it, then you keep me in the dark the rest of the time.

A mysterious woman rescues Ben; Abe tries to stop Anna and Hewlett's marriage; Arnold negotiates with the British and Andrew betrays Peggy

will signal to André that this is more than nonsense, as you say.

and will be married this November,

I need you to convey my words personally.

(chuckles) Edmund.

- Been helping build the house, huh? - Mama missed you.

- Selah requested this? - He did.

Thank you.

You don't know where you are?

And then my horse bolting.

I'm very pleased to meet you, Sarah.

- (knock on door) - Who is it?

Here. Here, let me help you.

Amen.

- Do you mind my ask... - Shot by thieves.

Excuse me.

- Like a horse? - No, you know what I mean.

You've already done this?

(Ben whimpers)

For me.

but now I'm glad he insisted on explaining it.

Tell him who you are.

It's freezing in here.

Because a year ago my husband died and I wanted a man in my bed.

- You're a Tory. - And you're a traitor.

The men were starving and Washington issued orders...

Of the Royal Army.

for his crimes and for the rebel filth that killed my husband.

♪ She loves her love ♪

♪ Her apron full... ♪

- Yes. - (crowd gasps)

Peggy gets Benedict Arnold to contact the British; Caleb plans an ambush for Simcoe; Anna tries to save Major Hewlett.

Hewlett has agreed to let you, Abe, and Thomas leave Setauket unharmed.

And I have faith that he will protect us.

He hasn't been paid in quite some time.

The men are patrolling the main route into town

it can't be here in Setauket.

Well, we will not concede to this blackmail.

That wouldn't follow us across the ocean.

- No. - No?

Why?

You must forgive Betsy. She takes her responsibilities very seriously.

I will move the heavens for you.

A little harder, like this.

- I just told you. - Why?

to save his life.

Gamble?

Hey!

And if you cannot manage to do that,

- What? - I give up my own son as a traitor

and be married here.

Now, write your husband

Is this another favor to be accounted for?

General.

to celebrate the good fortune that has graced many of us in this room.

Elizabeth.

And I suppose we'll have tea and scones sometime at Westminster, shall we?

Weapons down, gentlemen.

Playing both sides against one another.

He's got one eye! Find him!

As much as we've been in conflict,

Your father has told me everything.

But what will happen to you, hmm?

How about a freshly baked apple tart?

Then why are you still here

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

You have 24 hours.

Father, this is my partner Mr. Rivington.

They guarded two sides of a narrow strait.

The fact that even now

What? No!

Abe.

you come and be the courier.

Aye, but I learned through hard experience

I suppose you could say that, yes.

What's the play?

as mood or conditions warrant.

Actually, it's more about fooling the gullible

No, I mean once Simcoe is dead, what happens next?

Can I trust a rebel spy to keep his word?

no matter how enthusiastic to complete.

you may have been correct.

The Queen's Rangers will make sure that this instigator pays dearly.

You've wasted the reagent, man.

I thought you were just dropping that and he was picking it up.

- What? - Some guy called Gamble.

And once it's done, I'll take care of him.

And it could expose Culper Jr. as the source.

In the third-season premiere, Abe covers up a murder with an unlikely accomplice. Elsewhere, Benedict Arnold abuses his power as he settles into a new home in Philadelphia.

♪ Blood on the rise ♪

I just told Aberdeen to clear supper.

I was at the farm.

I need a sample of Major André's handwriting.

So, have you been able to find a husband for your sister yet?

Who was that?

Would you care to see your future home, Mrs. Arnold?

(horse neighs)

my charge is to transport these items confiscated from the enemies of America

upon flight like the Hebrews out of old Egypt.

See?

I... I can't... I can't guess where else he'd be.

Indeed,

Hello?

No. No.

- Went looking for him, did you? - Where is he?

and then I'm not live bait, I'm dead.

About killing. About farming.

Maybe you should go and get that letter you intend to plant.

I was...

Edward: Mr. Goodrich, I don't know what else to tell you.

You've got yourself a deal.

Dinner's not ready yet, but there's pork outside in the smokehouse.

The enemy? How?
