But we're going to call her "Missy."
But you got yourself
But you mustn't tell Fa.

Hurry, Fa! Hurry!
Hyah!

I ain't never knew the doctor
I always thought I'd have a boy child.
I am a Mandinka warrior.
I am Kunta Kinte! Kunta Kinte!
I am Kunta Kinte.
I am Kunta Kinte.
I am your commander,
I been putting some yarn aside for you, knit you some socks
I beg you, please, Massa... wait! No!
I believe so.
I can take her to the cellar, sir.
I can, uh, get Belle to cook you up something real good.
I can't find Kizzy!
I can't find Kizzy!
I could have killed him.
I decided to close my heart.
I depended on you, but I did not see you.
I don't even know all of the story...
I don't know if this is the right kind of place.
I don't want to hear nothing about no Africa!
I don't...
I done seen an elephant.
I figure I can at least spook some of them rebels.
I got to bring you home.
I guess
I had this made for you.
I had two sons when I was just a girl,
I had two sons when I was just a girl,
I hate this country!
I hate this country!
I have a younger brother your age.
I have not seen them in almost 10 years.
I have to work to earn that money?
I hear them. Let's go that way.
I hope that...
I I came in for some kindling.
I just hope the boy makes it.
I just spent $600 on you, girl!
I just spent $600 on you, girl.
I knew he was scared.
I know I'm a fool for puttin' up with all your nonsense.
I know what I want.
I know you have been taught
I like that.
I never thought I'd be able to have another child.
I ought to get something sewed on my jacket.
I promise, Massa, please, don't do that!
I ran away the next day.
I read my Bible.
I say you man and wife.
I see good enough. I found my way here.
I seen plenty of men far worse off than you...
I spilled punch on it,
I sure do hate to cause consternation.
I sure want to learn that trick.
I sure would love to kiss you.
I tell you what.
I think Ona's baby is coming!
I told you explicitly
I told you the truth.
I was always too afraid to have a family.
I will be your wife.
I will fight for your king.
I will kill many Americans for your king!
I will name you Kizzy.
I will never make peace with this life,
I will never, ever have a baby.
I will protect our child.
I wish you well.
I wonder what my mama would've named me.
I...
I'll buy him.
I'll jump with you.
I'll never be able to thank you.
I'll see you next Wednesday.
I'm fixin' to stab you right now!
I'm free to watch white planters take our land.
I'm gonna name you after my daddy.
I'm here watchin' him,
I'm here.
I'm so relieved you gon' make it, Toby.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sure General Washington will find them work.
I'm sure you love that child as if she was your own, eh?
I'm using my medicine.
I'm white, and the Bible says
I'mma at least learn how to read me a page."
I've just received this road pass,
I've lost a valuable slave, my Noah.
I've never seen...
If I was to lose this one, I'm...
If we were in Juffure, could I be a Mandinka warrior?
If you do not follow them, you will be charged with mutiny
If you don't believe my word, then you don't respect me.
If you don't believe my word, then you don't respect me.
If you feel him slowing down, just give him a little kick now.
If you made it up there, I'm sure you could find shelter
If you want your freedom,
In Charleston and New York Harbor.
In jail. Or worse.
In the kingdom of Niumi.
Is Kunta Kinte!
Is to raise a family, to have children.
Is trying to beguile my innocent little girl.
Is...
It ain't hurt me at all.
It belongs to God, not your captor!
It don't matter what the Massa call you.
It felt like the water was talkin' to me.
It must've been an abolitionist who wrote this.
It never fails to amaze me
It took too long, Belle, but now I see
It was astonishing, no?
It was the English who captured me
It was the only way for me to stay strong...
It would appear that I have both right here.
It'll be your hide!
It'll help you balance
It's gonna stay a while!
It's hard to get to.
It's hard to get to.
It's never gonna be over, Belle!
It's over now.
It's sad, really.
It's so pretty. Thank you, Missy.
It's the piece of paper that states you're free.
Jesus alone can wash you of sin.
Jesus alone!
Jesus sure have taken care of us n****es.
Juffure.
Just bring him alive.
Just false pangs. They'll pass.
Just get on out of here.
Just like Dr. Waller told me.
Just like her father.
Just piles on the agony and makes you loon crazy.
Just remember one thing...
Keep those barrels moving!
Kill me!
Kill me!
Kill me.
Kill more animals than they can eat.
Kind and strong...
Kizzy, come on.
Kizzy, come with me.
Kizzy, I brought you a bonnet!
Kizzy, I swear!
Kizzy, I'm here!
Kizzy, is everything all right?
Kizzy, it's been a while now.
Kizzy, no! Please don't take my baby!
Kizzy, please say yes.
Kizzy, please say yes.
Kizzy, we can make a real life together in Canada.
Kizzy, you are the daughter of Kunta Kinte,

Land sakes!
Leave us nothing.
Let her go! She's mine!
Let me die.
Let me have the baby.
Let me see! It's my right.
Let me see.
Let them hounds loose!
Let's go!
Let's just try 'em on, see how they fit.
Like a... a cat.
Like an apple.
Like the horses and hogs.
Like you...
Like, uh... like riding,
Like, um, a bee.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
Look at that smile.
Look at them eyes.
Look up, little one.
Lord Dunmore will be around in the morning with orders.
Lord Dunmore will issue his orders shortly.
Lord must've been in a powerful bad mood
Lord, I wish you'd been wrong about this storm!
Make a record of it, Spalding.
Man alive!
Mandinka, eh?
Many have made it to the North.
Massa wants that new Arabian broke
Massa, this storm ain't done.
Massa!
Massa!
Massa'll be awful vexed if you ain't ready to drive him.
May Allah guide you.
May Allah keep you.
Maybe even one day teach.
Maybe.

Mother needs help in the sick cabin.

My baby!
My baby! Kizzy!
My father is Kunta Kinte.
My Kintango teaches...
My Kintango would make us do far worse.
My Massa put out his cigar in my eye
My name ain't "boy."
My name ain't Uncle.
My name is Belle.
My name is Henry.
My people fought three wars with the white men
My, how you've blossomed! See you tomorrow!
Naming your child 'fore the stars and all creation.
Never let them put the chains on your mind.
Never let them put the chains on your mind.
No militia's gonna be out in the storm.
No strip of skin left on they back,
No, I didn't see you.
No, I want him to get fat, Fa.
No, Massa.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no. Belle doesn't mind. Do you, Belle?
No, no, that can't be true.
No, sir! No, he ain't. He ain't.
No, we're all going to the cellar.
No! Kill me!
No! Kill me!
No! No, Kizzy!

Not if you get away.
Not to put pregnant hands in the field!
Not today.
Not when I have a choice.
Now he's quiet again.
Now I stand in the downpours.
Now my foot's starting to hurt.
Now secure this bridge!
Now you can take some to your papa.
Now you stop this or I will tell your brother the truth.
Now you tell me I am "safe."
Now, if you ever feel you must kill a toubab,
Now, Kizzy,
Now, listen, Mama keeps going on
Now, now. Let's not all play the lady.
Now, this ain't the house that Jack built.
Now, you've worked for me for a long time, Belle,
Of a Mandinka warrior
Of being free inside.
Of course, sir. No time at all.
Of keeping African slaves.
Oh, don't be hysterical.
Oh, ew!
Oh, get out of here, you wretch.
Oh, go on. Tell him about his wife, me and his wife.
Oh, ho, ho, ho.
Oh, it's so pretty! Thank you!
Oh, just drive!
Oh, Kunta volunteers.
Oh, Lord.
Oh, no great shakes.
Oh, please, Jesus.
Oh, so you just wanted to dance with me.
Oh, thank you for your peace, Jesus.
Oh, well, of course it is.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes. That's right. Happy birthday, Kizzy.
Oh!
Oh! What a mess.
Oh.
Oh. Oh.
Okay, that's good. That's good.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Old George is gonna have a mighty big appetite.
Old Massa's wagon.
Old ways from Europe, must be.
On the Kamby Bolongo.
Ona, come help me with this.
One day, they gon' turn me into one.
One, two, three, four,
One, two...
Only if you are prepared to die yourself.
Oooh. Just like the poster said.
Open up the gate, boy.
Or a horse trainer.
Or I'mma swat you upside the head with it.
Or my sister in law's virtue.
Our armaments are delayed.
Our love matters.
Out of my way!
Overseer beat them near to death.
Ow!
Passed down from master to slave.
Perhaps it would help if you ate some peaches.
Phew!
Pikes?
Please go inside and rest that shoulder!
Please, Massa, don't take
Please! Help me!
Please! Please, listen to me, Massa, please!
Prepare yourselves for glorious battle.
Put on your new dress and let's go!
Quite so.
Quite so.
Rain must be coming.
**** slave women and pay no price.
**** slave women and pay no price.
Reading is my way of being a warrior.
Ready.
Return before the Massa sees you.
Right, Belle?
Running makes him feel free, eh?
Said I wonder what my mama would've named me...
Say your name so you know this ain't Africa.
Says he wants to fight for us against the Americans.
See this? Making this good woman wait!
Seein' as I got you here now, Toby?
Seein' as I went to Hell across lots to bring you back home.
Seen women worked to death,
Sell the boy to the English with the other captives.
Shakespeare dramas by heart, huh?
She fainted in the fields.
She has the spirit of a warrior.
She is a child.
She is coming out of your wages.
She needs to be in the cellar with us!
She needs to be with her family!
She used your house as her schoolroom.
She were only harvesting, sir. She weren't swinging no ax.
She will!
She's 15?
She's in the cabin, Massa.
She's not seven months along.
Shh!
Shh!
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
Shoot anyone who leaves this bridge!
Should ever deny another's liberty.
Since I was a young man, and I can honestly say
Single file!
Slander his wife to his face, and we'll see how quick he is
Slaves have been whipped and put in jail,
So any n**** there is somewhat free.
So be free with him.
So evidently contrary to the laws of God,
So he'll be happy.
So I asked Mama if I could give it to you.
So I'mma leave you right here.
So that you don't wander off no more.
So you listen to Belle.
So your boots will fit more comfortable.
So, this here the... the real Africa ways?
Soldier! Soldier!
Some refreshments for the girls.
Son of Omoro Kinte.
Sort of like a slave has to obey her master?
Sound about right to you?
Sounds real fine.
Spalding: Fiddler!
Stabbed two militiamen, the bloodthirsty bastard.
Stabs you in your sleep.
Stay behind me.
Stay here in the wagon.
Stay here. Stay here.
Stay still, now!
Still, spring is hiring season at the docks.
Stop being so cross.
Stop kissing and ride him!
Stop!
Stop! Let her go! Please!
Stow away on a ship bound for Canada.
Surrender your weapon.
Swallow this. No fuss.
Take as many of his friends as you can.
Take the bridge.
Tell Massa I'll be ready.
Tell me.
Telling me things.
Thank you for your peace, Jesus.
Thank you for your peace, Lord.
Thank you, Fiddler.
Thank you, Missy.
Thank you, Noah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you...
That a warrior must make a family.
That I got to fix things
That I had to do for you?
That is your choice to make.
That jumpin' the broom when you get married
That Mrs. Malloy's baby could come at any time.
That says "liberty to slaves."
That says "liberty to slaves."
That serves as the passageway through to the Carolinas.
That you've traveled the world, Spalding,
That... that Belle's done done for you?
That'd be a lot of toubab in Hell.
That's it.
That's not what I meant. Uh, sometimes my...
That's not your name.
That's what you all were screaming at?
The amount of time we has together.
The best one is about a slave
The boy knows you can read?
The darkness of the night that you experience
The entire estate is my business.
The horse is probably smarter than an African.
The horse is too tall. And I have a dress on.
The Lord sure did limit
The man usually names the child alone.
The militia will track down Luther.
The only child I got left, Massa, please!
The only thing greater than you.
The Semites brought horses to Africa
The three of us.
The war's done!
Then may we have your gun?
Then she will be with me, too.
Then they kill you like one.
Then you make your way across the field home.
Then you watch him.
Then, I remember opening my eyes in great pain.
There are snakes?!
There you go.
There. There we go.
There's plenty of free Blacks in New York...
There's something I need to tell you.
Therefore, it would be imprudent of me
They ain't ever gonna tear me down.
They can put the chains on your body.
They can't abduct us all.
They cry when they cold,
They cry when they hungry,
They cry when they scared.
They killed Fiddler, Belle.
They killed him!
They tell me the world is bigger than this farm.
They treat you like an animal till you strike like one, hmm?
They want to have that tonight for dinner?
They was warriors.
They will in England. Hyah!
They're my people visiting me.
They're never going to let us live, Belle.
They're not ghosts.
This governor rules all of Virginia?
This is a day I hoped would never come.
This is Dr. Waller's property.
This is my right!
This is my right!
This is none of your business, brother.
This is not a hurricane.
This is our only child!
This is the man, all tattered and torn,
This is Virginia,
This is yours?
This one's my favorite.
This pickaninny of yours
This won't be my first child.
This won't be my first child.
Though you sure do look like a maiden all forlorn.
Three stops today, Belle, so late home.
Tie him up.
Till you're strong enough to walk on your own.
Time's runnin' short. What's your fancy?
To be a man of humor before he gave you that name.
To fit these old boots here special for you.
To march into battle with you.
To wrap a rope around your neck and hoist you into a tree!
Toby could drive for you, too, Massa.
Toby done calmed him down. Ooh whee.
Toby, can we see how it fits?
Toby, what happened to your shoulder?
Toby, you remember Massa says
Toby!
Toby! Say it!
Toby! Toby!
Toby.
Toby.
Toby. Get the wagon. Now!
Toby...
Toby's got a gift for horses.
Toby's your name.
Touch him and you'll look the same soon enough.
Truly, I've never been happier.
Two weeks 'fore you got here.
Uh, my Kintango teaches me
Uh, no people in Africa jump brooms.
Um, um, paddling, and the...
Unh unh!
Very good.
Violates the natural
Wait! Don't go far.
Wait! Don't go far.
Want to hear you scratchin' on your fiddle!
Was just asking Kizzy to bring us some refreshments.
Watch it! Come on!
We fight for ourselves. You understand?
We gon' make this official.
We got to gather us a ****** tax.
We have encountered heavy rebel resistance
We were just playing, Papa.
We won't never see it.
We... we... we on our way to the farm proper.
We'll earn enough money to buy back your folks.
We'll ride later, when it is less... wet.
We're calling this little boy... Noah.
We're free! No more royal subjects are we!
We're moving out now!
We're not in the road.
We've got to get to the big house. Go!
Welcome home, George.
Well done, Toby.
Well, bring him over here.
Well, get to it.
Well, I hope that smart mouth pickaninny
Well, I suppose it's about time that I bred her...
Well, I'll be damned.
Well, it appears to be.
Well, Kizzy, go fetch
Well, we jump it together, just like in Africa.
Well, well!
Well, what is it?
Well, what is it?
Wh... When I found this, I told myself,
What a mess!
What are you doing?!
What are you waiting for? Come along, gentlemen.
What day, Massa?
What did I just tell you? God will take care of us.
What did you say?
What did you think of Toby's special touch
What do we got here?
What do you think about that, Noah?
What I'm wonderin' is,
What if a a patrol finds her?
What in God's name is going on?
What is "a letter of manumission"?
What is the warrior's first responsibility?
What will happen to the slaves
What you gonna name her?
What you got here?
What you think about that?
What's all the carousing about?
What's he doing?
What's that, now?
What's this monstrosity?
What's this writin' say?
Whatever happens, this matters.
When have you ever asked me about my life?
When He, uh, made white folk.
When I arrived in this country, America,
When I became a warrior, mm hmm,
When the defeated the Egyptians
When the slave catcher's a foot away
Where are our guns?
Where did our baby go?!
Where in the hell do you think you're going?!
Where will I walk to?
Where'd our baby go?! Where did our baby go?!
Where'd that old coot come from?
Where's Kizzy?! Where'd Kizzy go?!
Where's Kizzy?! Where'd Kizzy go?!
White folk finally got they freedom.
White folk!
White people are made in the image of God.
Who convinces his Massa to free him.
Who fought in the Continental Army?
Who imparts our purpose.
Who kissed the maiden all forlorn.
Who serves at the pleasure of the King,
Who will ride him?
Whoa, nelly!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, now. Hey, now. Hey, now.
Whoa.
Why are you not advancing across the bridge?
Why do you get to decide?
Why, it's just dumb luck, sir.
Why?
Will advance at the ordinary!
Will be very proud of you, Carleton.
Will the toubab go to Hell because they own slaves?
Will you be fighting on the bridge with us?
Will you please teach me how to read?
William: Take her away.
With a little ****** girl, huh?
With God as my witness,
With the horse?
Without Mama asking pesky questions.
Word floatin' on the wind is that was you.
Word gets round.
Works better than Dr. Waller's.
Yeah, girl. Saddle up.
Yeah, it's far.
Yeah, well, this one is devious.
Yeah. Some of the roofing hit me.
Yes, by all means, we must make it to the cellar.
Yes, I guess I wouldn't have to buy another driver.

You can't buy a slave.
You can't frighten me.
You clumsy devil.

You could call her "Fiddleretta."
You could see more people, not get tired.
You don't have to worry, Massa.

You look beautiful. Come on.
You may get a full day, if not two.
You may work for the African, but you answer to me.
You might have fooled Fiddler, but you don't fool me.

You must always honor your ancestors.

You think I'm gonna stand by and let that happen,
You understand me, boy?
You were all given orders.
You will always be a Mandinka, Kunta Kinte.
You will always be a Mandinka.
You will instead be armed with pikes.
You wonder about your mama? I wonder about your...
You'll be given food, shelter, and a letter of manumission.
You'll be wanting a meal and a good night's rest.
You'll fight with what we give you.
You'll have to walk.
You're not a preacher.
You're welcome, Kizzy.
You've got to go right now.

I beg you, don't do this, please! Get off of me.
