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