Underground

Previously on Underground...

We're here to begin construction on your nursery.

- My name's Clyde and this is... - Hollander!

- What happened? - Risdin...

They got Clyde.

Inside each of us, there's two wolves...

...and the good wolf lives on love.

Is Pa the good or the bad wolf?

If you were mine, I would protect you, no matter what.

I'd protect your secrets, too.

We got one of yours!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We ain't no help to her if we get caught, too.

That's a white woman's dress! Take it off!

That's enough!

That girl's another man's property.

And I plan on bringing her back intact.

Leave that.

Underground - 01x09 - Black & Blue

Why you's protecting me?

You can thank your daddy for that.

He's paying as much for you as all the others combined.

He say that?

He my father?

Not in so many words.

But money speaks plenty clear.

His kind.

Sometimes, that's the only way they know how to talk.

Ben.

Yes, sir?

You keep an eye on her.

I had a dog once.

Had that mean look in his eyes,

like any moment he might rip your throat out.

That girl, she reminds me of him.

You sure your boy can handle that?

You just worry about your men.

Make sure they stay away from her.

I don't need 'em complicating things.

My men, they never see the long game.

Only care about what satisfies them right now.

Patty could use more men like you.

I said I'd help you capture the other two, and I will.

Then me and my boy are going home.

He's of a solemn nature, ain't he?

I thought he'd be more excited

to find out he's gonna be rich, but...

I guess he takes after his father.

Them two others, they're coming for that girl.

You make sure you're ready.

I told you to take out the shotgun driver first!

Might be I ain't heard you

from all the way up in that tree!

I know I should've gone first.

We got the damn thing. What you complaining about?

Damn thing is broken!

Lucky for us, we got ourselves

a honest-to-goodness blacksmith.

Well, we gonna need more than that.

We outnumbered and we outgunned.

Gonna need a hell of a distraction to get Rose back.

Oh...

...you know what we could do with money like this?

Be free and rich.

And live better than them white folks.

Quit your daydreaming and see if there's some rope in there.

Watch the way you order me around.

I ain't Henry.

Though maybe I am,

seeing as how I'm following one of your fool-hearted plans

to my death, too.

Goddamn it! The longer we stand out here fighting,

the less chance we got of getting Rosalee back.

Who knows what they doing to her?

Ain't nobody care about that house girl.

The only reason I'm helping

is because she knows where the station is on the other side of that river.

No.

I ain't buying it.

Mmm-mmm.

You act like you don't care about nobody and nothing.

But I seen you.

Seen you with that bonnet of yours.

Yeah.

Oh, I seen the way you just look at it,

way you be folding it all the time.

There's somebody out there you care about.

Just holding on to the hope you gonna see 'em again soon.

So you keep playing big all you want,

but I see you.

Not a field slave in the bunch,

and this delicate gal

stepping onto the block won't disappoint.

Lot 25.

One female

of good stock,

well within breeding age, but...

I ain't never been touched by no man.

Claim to be verified by a doctor upon purchase.

Bidding starts at $400.

- Whoa. - $400. Do I hear $450?

- Sold. - $450.

Do I hear $475?

$500.

$525.

$550.

$700.

Sold.

That's ridiculous.

Sold for $700 to Mr....

Hawkings.

"Cinderella went to the hazel tree and said,

"'Shake and quiver, little tree.

"Throw gold and silver down to me.'

"Then the bird threw down an even more magnificent dress

"than on the preceding day.

"When Cinderella appeared at the festival in this dress,

"Everyone was astonished by her beauty.

"The prince had waited until she came,

"and immediately took her by the hand

"and danced only with her."

Has John returned?

No.

I just had to see you again.

Kyle. Kyle, wait.

I've already waited enough.

Kyle.

Kyle. Kyle, no. Wait!

No. Kyle, no.

Can I have some water?

Thank you.

What's your name?

Ben.

Rosalee.

I know.

It's on the slave bill.

I hate when my momma...

...look over my shoulder in the cookhouse.

I like the sound of the leaves whistling through the trees on the plantation.

It's like hearing a song on a windy day.

I like the smell of these tin cookies Miss Suzanna used to buy.

But I never did try one.

Yellow my favorite color.

But the real shiny kind,

like on this ribbon I used to like to wear.

I ain't just a name on a slave bill.

I ain't just a runaway.

And I ain't just $5,000.

Brought the lady some clothes.

Those are my pants.

You don't want the lady to catch her death, now, do you?

I brought something for you, too, kid.

Just finished reading it.

It's a good one.

About a hunter who becomes obsessed with the hunt.

So much so, he loses everything else.

Thought that might interest you.

It's done.

I have to say, Mr. Hawkings,

I appreciate your aggressiveness.

What's the use of having money...

...if you can't recklessly spend it?

I hear that.

I'm a gambling man myself.

Cards?

Um, dice, horseshoes...

...anything works, so long as there's something to lose.

You plan on buying more slaves?

Or is Ella special?

I'm looking to buy and sell.

I've been traveling to different auctions

to acquire a feel for the business.

Everywhere I go,

one name always comes up.

Bazil Abbot.

Your auctions have become legend. Now I see why.

Any advice from an expert?

Any nigger can pick cotton.

You find some that can do what no others can,

that's how you make real money.

I'll keep that in mind.

And never, ever inflate their worth to 'em.

That's how they become intractable.

When they think they're better than slaves.

Well, like this one here.

Ran from me years ago.

But I got him back.

Now I keep him tethered.

I can hear him anywhere in the house.

He won't get the best of me again.

John.

I would like you to meet Boo.

She could be anywhere, and you don't even know the way in.

Last chance to take the money and run.

Do you want some more water?

Hmm-mmm.

You're not gonna read that?

I don't know.

Maybe.

That hunter obsessed with the hunt.
