1. Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your king, George III.
Copy !req
2. - [cheering, applauding continues]
- Welcome to Hamilton.
Copy !req
3. At this time,
please silence all cell phones
Copy !req
4. and other electronic devices.
Copy !req
5. All photography and video recording
is strictly prohibited.
Copy !req
6. Thank you, and enjoy my show.
Copy !req
7. - Aaron Burr.
Copy !req
8. Everybody sing!
Copy !req
9. Hey!
Copy !req
10. One last round, gents.
Copy !req
11. Let's have another round tonight.
Copy !req
12. Hear ye, hear ye!
Copy !req
13. My name is Samuel Seabury, and I present
Copy !req
14. "Free Thoughts on the Proceedings
of the Continental Congress."
Copy !req
15. Boom!
Copy !req
16. Incoming!
Copy !req
17. Boom!
Copy !req
18. - Your Excellency, sir.
- Who are you?
Copy !req
19. Aaron Burr, sir.
Permission to state my case?
Copy !req
20. As you were.
Copy !req
21. - Yes?
- Well—
Copy !req
22. Your Excellency, you wanted to see me?
Copy !req
23. Hamilton, come in. Have you met Burr?
Copy !req
24. - Yes, sir. We keep meeting.
- We keep meeting.
Copy !req
25. As I was saying, sir, I look forward
to seeing your strategy play out.
Copy !req
26. - Burr?
- Sir?
Copy !req
27. Close the door on your way out.
Copy !req
28. Have I done something wrong, sir?
Copy !req
29. Sir?
Copy !req
30. Sir—
Copy !req
31. Yeah, to be their secretary.
I don't think so.
Copy !req
32. - Now, why are you upset?
- I'm not.
Copy !req
33. Yes.
Copy !req
34. Boom!
Copy !req
35. Boom!
Copy !req
36. - What?
- And his right-hand man!
Copy !req
37. Boom!
Copy !req
38. - That's true.
Copy !req
39. - Where are you taking me?
- I'm about to change your life.
Copy !req
40. Then by all means, lead the way.
Copy !req
41. Elizabeth Schuyler.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Copy !req
42. - Schuyler?
- My sister.
Copy !req
43. Thank you for all your service.
Copy !req
44. If it takes fighting a war for us to meet,
it will have been worth it.
Copy !req
45. I'll leave you to it.
Copy !req
46. Ha!
Copy !req
47. All right, all right.
That's what I'm talking about!
Copy !req
48. Now, everyone, give it up
for the maid of honor,
STYLE
cue()
Copy !req
49. Angelica Schuyler!
Copy !req
50. - Where are you taking me?
- I'm about to change your life.
Copy !req
51. Then by all means, lead the way.
Copy !req
52. Elizabeth Schuyler.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Copy !req
53. - Schuyler?
- My sister.
Copy !req
54. Thank you for all your service.
Copy !req
55. If it takes fighting a war for us to meet,
it will have been worth it.
Copy !req
56. I'll leave you to it.
Copy !req
57. - [men cheering, chuckling]
- Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
58. - Is that so?
Copy !req
59. - I should go.
- No, these guys should go.
Copy !req
60. - Leave us alone.
- Man.
Copy !req
61. You're very kind,
but I'm afraid it's unlawful, sir.
Copy !req
62. - What do you mean?
- She's married.
Copy !req
63. - I see.
- She's married to a British officer.
Copy !req
64. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
65. - Cavalry's not coming.
- But, sir—
Copy !req
66. Alex, listen.
There's only one way for us to win this.
Copy !req
67. Provoke outrage, outright.
Copy !req
68. That's right.
Copy !req
69. I'm a general. Whee!
Copy !req
70. Hamilton!
- Ready, sir!
Copy !req
71. - Have Lafayette take the lead.
- Yes, sir!
Copy !req
72. Then I'll do it.
Copy !req
73. Alexander,
you're the closest friend I've got.
Copy !req
74. Laurens, do not throw away your shot.
Copy !req
75. - Fire!
Copy !req
76. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
77. - Hamilton.
- Sir!
Copy !req
78. Meet me inside.
Copy !req
79. - Son—
- Don't call me son.
Copy !req
80. This war is hard enough
without infighting.
Copy !req
81. Lee called you out.
Copy !req
82. - We called his bluff.
- You solve nothing.
Copy !req
83. You aggravate our allies to the south.
Copy !req
84. You're absolutely right.
Copy !req
85. John should have shot him in the mouth.
That would've shut him up.
Copy !req
86. - Son—
- I'm not your son—
Copy !req
87. Or you could die, and we need you alive.
Copy !req
88. I am more than willing to die.
Copy !req
89. Your wife needs you alive, son.
I need you alive!
Copy !req
90. Call me son one more time!
Copy !req
91. Go home, Alexander.
Copy !req
92. That's an order from your commander.
Copy !req
93. Sir—
Copy !req
94. Go home!
Copy !req
95. The Battle of Yorktown.
Copy !req
96. 1781.
Copy !req
97. Whoo!
Copy !req
98. Left! Right! Hold!
Copy !req
99. Go!
Copy !req
100. What? What? What?
Copy !req
101. And just like that, it's over.
We tend to our wounded. We count our dead.
Copy !req
102. Black and white soldiers wonder alike
if this really means freedom.
Copy !req
103. Not yet.
Copy !req
104. We negotiate the terms of surrender.
I see George Washington smile.
Copy !req
105. We escort their men out of Yorktown.
They stagger home single file.
Copy !req
106. Tens of thousands of people
flood the streets.
Copy !req
107. There are screams
and church bells ringing,
Copy !req
108. and as our fallen foes retreat,
I hear the drinking song they're singing.
Copy !req
109. Freedom for America! Freedom for France!
Copy !req
110. - We won!
- We won!
Copy !req
111. We won! We won!
Copy !req
112. Alexander, there's a letter for you.
Copy !req
113. It's from John Laurens.
I'll read it later.
Copy !req
114. - No. It's from his father.
- His father?
Copy !req
115. Will you read it for me?
Copy !req
116. "On Tuesday the 27th,
Copy !req
117. my son was killed in a gunfight
Copy !req
118. against British troops
retreating from South Carolina.
Copy !req
119. The war was already over.
Copy !req
120. As you know, John dreamed of emancipating
and recruiting 3,000 men
Copy !req
121. for the first all-black military regiment.
Copy !req
122. His dream of freedom for these men
dies with him."
Copy !req
123. Alexander, are you all right?
Copy !req
124. I have so much work to do.
Copy !req
125. What?
Copy !req
126. What?
Copy !req
127. - Alexander?
- Aaron Burr, sir.
Copy !req
128. - Well, it's the middle of the night.
- Can we confer, sir?
Copy !req
129. - Is this a legal matter?
- Yes, and it's important to me.
Copy !req
130. - What do you need?
- Burr, you're a better lawyer than me.
Copy !req
131. Okay.
Copy !req
132. - Uh, who's your client?
- The new US Constitution.
Copy !req
133. - No.
- Hear me out.
Copy !req
134. No way.
Copy !req
135. - No one'll read it.
- I disagree.
Copy !req
136. - And if it fails?
- Burr, that's why we need it.
Copy !req
137. - The Constitution's a mess.
- So it needs amendments.
Copy !req
138. - It's full of contradictions.
- So is independence.
Copy !req
139. - We have to start somewhere.
- No. No way.
Copy !req
140. - You're making a mistake.
- Good night.
Copy !req
141. Hey. What are you waiting for?
What do you stall for?
Copy !req
142. - What?
- We won the war. What was it all for?
Copy !req
143. - Do you support this Constitution?
- Of course.
Copy !req
144. - Then defend it.
- What if you're backing the wrong horse?
Copy !req
145. Alexander joins forces
with James Madison and John Jay
Copy !req
146. to write a series of essays defending
the new United States Constitution
Copy !req
147. entitled "The Federalist Papers."
Copy !req
148. The plan was
to write a total of 25 essays,
Copy !req
149. the work divided evenly
among the three men.
Copy !req
150. In the end, they wrote 85 essays
in the span of six months.
Copy !req
151. John Jay got sick after writing five.
Copy !req
152. James Madison wrote 29.
Copy !req
153. Hamilton wrote the other 51!
Copy !req
154. Sir, do you want me to run
the Treasury or State Department?
Copy !req
155. - Treasury.
Copy !req
156. Let's go.
Copy !req
157. Alexander...
Copy !req
158. I have to leave.
Copy !req
159. Alexander.
Copy !req
160. I am not throwing away my shot!
Copy !req
161. France. What?
Copy !req
162. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
163. you could've been anywhere
in the world tonight,
Copy !req
164. but you're here with us in New York City.
Copy !req
165. Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?
Copy !req
166. The issue on the table:
Copy !req
167. Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume
state debt and establish a national bank.
Copy !req
168. Secretary Jefferson,
you have the floor, sir.
Copy !req
169. Thank you,
Secretary Jefferson. Oh.
Copy !req
170. - Secretary Hamilton, your response.
All right now.
Copy !req
171. - [cabinet members shouting, gasping]
Excuse me.
Copy !req
172. Madison, Jefferson, take a walk.
Hamilton, take a walk.
Copy !req
173. We're gonna reconvene
after a brief recess.
Copy !req
174. - Hamilton.
- Sir.
Copy !req
175. A word.
Copy !req
176. You wanna pull yourself together?
Copy !req
177. I'm sorry.
These Virginians are birds of a feather.
Copy !req
178. Young man, I'm from Virginia.
So, watch your mouth.
Copy !req
179. So we let Congress
get held hostage by the South?
Copy !req
180. - You need the votes.
- No, we need bold strokes.
Copy !req
181. - We need this plan.
- No, you need to convince more folks.
Copy !req
182. Well, James Madison won't talk to me.
That's a nonstarter.
Copy !req
183. Ah. Winning was easy, young man.
Governing's harder.
Copy !req
184. - They're being intransigent.
- You have to find a compromise.
Copy !req
185. They don't have a plan.
They just hate mine!
Copy !req
186. Convince them otherwise.
Copy !req
187. And what happens
if I don't get congressional approval?
Copy !req
188. I imagine they'll call for your removal.
Copy !req
189. - Sir.
- Figure it out, Alexander.
Copy !req
190. That's an order from your commander.
Copy !req
191. What!
Copy !req
192. Uh-huh!
Copy !req
193. Okay.
Copy !req
194. Hey, our kid is pretty great.
Copy !req
195. Hi.
Copy !req
196. I have to get my plan through Congress.
Copy !req
197. I can't stop
till I get this plan through Congress.
Copy !req
198. I don't know about any letter!
Copy !req
199. I didn't know any better!
Copy !req
200. So?
Copy !req
201. Really?
Copy !req
202. Oh, but, uh—
Copy !req
203. - It isn't pretty.
Copy !req
204. Look, Grandpa's in the paper.
Copy !req
205. "War hero, Philip Schuyler,
loses Senate seat
Copy !req
206. to young upstart, Aaron Burr."
Copy !req
207. The issue on the table:
Copy !req
208. France is on the verge of war
with England.
Copy !req
209. Now, do we commit money and aid to our
French allies, or do we stay out of it?
Copy !req
210. Remember, my decision on this matter
is not subject to congressional approval.
Copy !req
211. The only one you have to convince is me.
Copy !req
212. Secretary Jefferson,
you have the floor, sir.
Copy !req
213. France.
Copy !req
214. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
215. Thank you, Secretary Jefferson.
Copy !req
216. Secretary Hamilton, your response.
Copy !req
217. Get him, boy!
Copy !req
218. Let him know right now.
Copy !req
219. Yeah.
Copy !req
220. Hamilton.
- Daddy's calling.
Copy !req
221. Which I wrote.
Copy !req
222. Mr. President, you asked to see me.
Copy !req
223. What do you need, sir? Sir?
Copy !req
224. Sir, I don't know what you heard,
but whatever it is, Jefferson started it.
Copy !req
225. You're kidding.
Copy !req
226. Ha! Good luck defeating you, sir.
Copy !req
227. - I'm sorry, what?
Copy !req
228. No, sir. Why?
Copy !req
229. Though, in reviewing the incidents
of my administration,
Copy !req
230. I am unconscious of intentional error,
Copy !req
231. I am nevertheless too sensible
of my defects
Copy !req
232. not to think it probable
that I may have committed many errors.
Copy !req
233. I shall also carry with me the hope
Copy !req
234. that my country will view them
with indulgence...
Copy !req
235. And that after 45 years
of my life dedicated to its service,
Copy !req
236. with an upright zeal,
Copy !req
237. the faults of incompetent abilities
will be consigned to oblivion,
Copy !req
238. as I myself must soon be
Copy !req
239. to the mansions of rest.
Copy !req
240. I anticipate with pleasing expectation
that retreat...
Copy !req
241. What?
Copy !req
242. John Adams?
Copy !req
243. President John Adams?
Copy !req
244. Good luck.
Copy !req
245. Say what?
Copy !req
246. Hamilton's out of control.
Copy !req
247. This is great. He's out of power,
he holds no office,
Copy !req
248. and he just destroyed
President John Adams,
Copy !req
249. the only other significant member
of his party.
Copy !req
250. Hamilton is a host unto himself.
Copy !req
251. As long as he can hold a pen,
he's a threat.
Copy !req
252. Let's let him know what we know.
Copy !req
253. Mr. Vice President.
Copy !req
254. - Mr. Madison.
Copy !req
255. Senator Burr.
Copy !req
256. What is this?
Copy !req
257. Is that a yes?
Copy !req
258. Um, yes.
Copy !req
259. - What?
Copy !req
260. - My God.
Copy !req
261. Gentlemen, let's go.
Copy !req
262. So?
Copy !req
263. Burr.
Copy !req
264. The Reynolds Pamphlet.
Copy !req
265. Highlights!
Copy !req
266. Damn.
Copy !req
267. - I came as soon as I heard.
What?
Copy !req
268. Damn!
Copy !req
269. [Jefferson, electronic voice]
The Reynolds Pamphlet.
Copy !req
270. [Jefferson, electronic voice]
Have you read this?
Copy !req
271. Okay!
Copy !req
272. - George!
Copy !req
273. - George.
- I'm trying to watch the show.
Copy !req
274. Ooh.
Copy !req
275. - [Eliza, Angelica] ♪ Stay alive ♪
- Where's my son?
Copy !req
276. Mr. Hamilton, come in.
Copy !req
277. They brought him in a half an hour ago.
He lost a lot of blood on the way over.
Copy !req
278. - Is he alive?
- Yes.
Copy !req
279. But you have to understand,
Copy !req
280. the bullet entered just above his hip
and lodged in his right arm.
Copy !req
281. - Can I see him, please?
- I'm doing everything I can.
Copy !req
282. But the wound was already infected
when he arrived.
Copy !req
283. Philip.
Copy !req
284. Pa.
Copy !req
285. Is he breathing?
Is he going to survive this?
Copy !req
286. - I know, I know.
Copy !req
287. Un, deux, trois...
Copy !req
288. Sept, huit, neuf.
Copy !req
289. Sept, huit...
Copy !req
290. The election of 1800.
Copy !req
291. - Can we get back to politics?
Uh, please.
Copy !req
292. Who did you have in mind?
Copy !req
293. - Don't laugh.
- Who is it?
Copy !req
294. You used to work on the same staff.
Copy !req
295. Burr!
Copy !req
296. It's 1800. Ladies, tell your husbands,
"Vote for Burr!"
Copy !req
297. - Burr!
I don't like Adams.
Copy !req
298. Well, he's gonna lose.
That's just defeatist.
Copy !req
299. And Jefferson?
Copy !req
300. In love with France.
Yeah, he's so elitist.
Copy !req
301. I like that Aaron Burr.
Copy !req
302. I can't believe we're here with him.
Copy !req
303. He seems approachable.
Copy !req
304. Like you could grab a beer with him.
Copy !req
305. - Burr.
- Sir.
Copy !req
306. Is there anything you wouldn't do?
Copy !req
307. No. I'm chasing what I want.
Copy !req
308. - And you know what?
- What?
Copy !req
309. I learned that from you.
Copy !req
310. It's a tie.
Copy !req
311. It's up to the delegates.
Copy !req
312. [Jefferson, Madison]
It's up to Hamilton!
Copy !req
313. Yo!
Copy !req
314. Oh!
Copy !req
315. Oh!
Copy !req
316. Oh!
Copy !req
317. Oh!
Copy !req
318. Jefferson has my vote.
Copy !req
319. Oh!
Copy !req
320. Oh!
Copy !req
321. Oh!
Copy !req
322. And?
Copy !req
323. You won in a landslide.
Copy !req
324. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
325. I look forward to our partnership.
Copy !req
326. - Our partnership?
- As your vice president.
Copy !req
327. - Ha! Yeah, right.
Copy !req
328. You hear this guy?
Copy !req
329. Man openly campaigns against me,
Copy !req
330. talkin' 'bout,
"I look forward to our partnership."
Copy !req
331. It is crazy that the guy
who comes in second
Copy !req
332. gets to be vice president.
Copy !req
333. Ooh. You know what?
We can change that.
Copy !req
334. - You know why?
- Why?
Copy !req
335. 'Cause I'm the president.
Copy !req
336. Burr, uh, when you see Hamilton,
Copy !req
337. thank him for the endorsement.
Copy !req
338. Sweet Jesus.
Copy !req
339. Then stand, Alexander.
Copy !req
340. Weehawken. Dawn.
Copy !req
341. Guns. Drawn.
Copy !req
342. You're on.
Copy !req
343. Hey.
Copy !req
344. Rise up. Rise up. Rise up.
Copy !req
345. My love, take your time.
Copy !req
346. I'll see you on the other side.
Copy !req
347. He aims his pistol at the sky.
Copy !req
348. - Wait!
Copy !req
349. President Jefferson.
Copy !req
350. I'll give him this,
his financial system is a work of genius.
Copy !req
351. I couldn't undo it if I tried.
Copy !req
352. And I tried.
Copy !req
353. President Madison.
Copy !req
354. He took our country
from bankruptcy to prosperity.
Copy !req
355. I hate to admit it,
but he doesn't get enough credit
Copy !req
356. for all the credit that he gave us.
Copy !req
357. Oh.
Copy !req
