Voyagers! s01e08 Episode Script

There he is, Bogg! That's Old Hickory! General Jackson! Fire! Where's Captain Lafitte? He's a French pirate.
He's supposed to be fighting for Jackson now.
Hey, don't be leaving me so fast.
I know where the pirate's treasure is hidden.
Hello, matey.
JEFFREY: Bogg, there's five more of them.
Voyagers don't run from a fight.
JEFFREY: Bogg! BOGG: We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed.
Bogg! BOGG: When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong.
Our job's to get everything back on track.
(OMNI dings) Green light, kid! We did it! Hey, they're coming! They're coming! Scatter! Scatter! Clear the street! MAN: Come on, boy, let's go! (PLUMMETING) It sure is quiet.
Too quiet.
(BEEPING) New Orleans, 1850.
Yeah, so what's wrong? Beats me.
Something's gotta be wrong, the Omni's red.
So are their uniforms.
Whose uniforms? Stop it! Let go! Shut up, Yank, or we'll hang you ourselves.
Go back to England! This is our country! Leave him alone! After them! Get those kids! This is all wrong, Bogg.
The redcoats aren't supposed to be (GUN FIRES) Shooting at us? You're telling me, kid.
Come on, run! What are they shooting at us for? Because we're not on their side.
How do they know? Wait a minute.
Whose side are we on? The American side.
That the same side as those kids throwing rotten tomatoes? (GUN FIRING) Great.
Wait! We're on your side.
What's going on? What is that all about? Haven't you heard that the redcoats have declared martial law? You mean the British are in control of the city? They have ever since the Battle of New Orleans.
Come on, Sam, run! Where have you guys been? Who's that guy those soldiers were dragging off? That's one of Jackson's officers.
They're gonna string him up.
What happened to General Jackson? Nobody knows.
I sure hope he got away.
We were supposed to win the Battle of New Orleans.
What happened? How did they break the American line? What about Jean Lafitte? Jean Lafitte? The only Lafitte I know is Pierre Lafitte.
Maybe they're related.
Where can we find him? He's got the bakery shop across the street over there.
Look, we're forming a resistance group.
You know, an underground.
There's a meeting tonight at St.
Anne's Church at 7:00.
If you're with us, you be there.
(GUN FIRING) Sure is confusing.
What should've happened? General Jackson's troops routed the British out of the middle of some swamp.
The redcoats didn't even get close to the city.
The victory made Old Hickory a national hero.
He's supposed to be elected President in 1828.
What about John Lafitte? Jean Lafitte.
He's a French pirate in control of the swamps.
He's supposed to be on our side.
I guess we better find out what happened.
Come on.
Are they gone? Yeah, but they'll be coming back.
It's terrible.
Terrible.
They treat us like slaves in our own country.
Did you ever hear tell of another Lafitte, Jean Lafitte? He was my brother.
Was? He's been dead a long time.
Did you know him? We knew of him.
I don't care what anyone says, Jean was a fine man and a wonderful brother.
Who said he wasn't? People.
Liars.
Why? What happened? He was charged with piracy and hanged by the Spanish.
But it wasn't true.
When did it happen? The summer of 1798.
It was one of my first trips to New Orleans.
He sent me a letter saying that he had found lodging at over a tavern in Nassau, Two Maids From Bristol, it was called.
Here they come! Everybody off the streets.
(GUN FIRING) Mr.
Lafitte, let us in.
There's two of them! Get them! I think I've seen enough.
We gotta get the rest of the story from Pierre.
We gotta find out what happened to Jean.
We got a date and a place.
That's plenty.
You stay where you are! You're right.
That is plenty.
What Where did they go? Where are they? What happened? Hurry, will you? I'm doing it as fast as I can.
(PLUMMETING) This doesn't look like the Bahamas to me.
Must've stuck on automatic again.
At least nobody's pointing guns at us.
Try bows and arrows.
CLARK: They're turning tails.
They're running.
If we spent 100 years trooping around this country, I'd still never be able to figure out those people.
I guess they must've seen what one of these can do to a man.
Ah, excuse me.
We didn't mean to scare you.
Where did you two come from? From Canada.
We're trappers.
Who cares where they came from? Boy, other than our party, you're the first white faces we've seen in months.
Where is the rest of your party? Camped a few miles back.
I'm William Clark, this is Meriwether Lewis.
This is Phineas Bogg.
I'm Jeffrey Jones.
Hello, Jeff.
JEFFREY: It's great to meet you both.
I thought Clark and Lewis were comedians? That was Martin and Lewis.
Oh.
Bogg, these are America's greatest explorers.
Oh.
What were you doing up in that tree? We were trying to decide whether to follow that ridge or go down through that valley.
See, I figured if I got up in that tree, I could get a better look.
I got a feeling that ridge is gonna lead to the edge of a cliff.
There could be a river down in that valley.
Or a box canyon with sheer walls.
At least we can see where we're going if we follow the ridge.
But the flow of the river will take us toward the ocean.
So will the sun.
How do you know there is a river down there? You know, sometimes, William, you're such a dreamer.
I think America's greatest explorers are lost.
I've got an idea.
Instead of standing here talking about it, why don't we all go a little ways along the ridge? Maybe there's a spot where we can get a good look down into that canyon.
The boy has a point.
And if your instincts are correct, we'll be that much further on our way.
All right, I'll lead the way.
JEFFREY: Check the Omni, quick.
(BEEPING) Red light.
Must be the other trail.
Hey, wait! Look, down there, through the trees! Isn't that water? Maybe it's a river! I don't see anything.
Neither do I.
All right, Meriwether, let's try it your way.
We'll stay on the ridge.
Look! The Indians are back! Where? On the trail ahead.
I don't see anything.
Yeah, well, that's the way it is with the Indians around here.
So clever you never see them until it's too late.
Way to go.
Well, maybe we should try that other trail.
You thought you saw water down there, didn't you, son? Well, it sure looked like water.
Can't hurt to take a look.
Just in case.
Green light.
Hey, did you really see Indians? Did you really see water? (BOTH LAUGHING) Oh, Nassau, right? Okay.
Come on, lads, time be a-wasting! Look lively, there! The tide will be on us soon enough.
(PLUMMETING) Hold it, lads.
Move along.
Move along! (OMNI BEEPING) One thing's for sure, it's a beach.
Right where we're supposed to be.
Okay.
Yeah, but on the second try.
So, which way is Nassau? We got to find Lafitte.
Down the beach, around those rocks.
You sure? Hey, kid, I was a pirate long before I was a voyager.
Where do you think I got these clothes? Come on.
You know, Jeff, I have a good feeling about this place.
Hey, Bogg, what's behind these rocks? Bogg, look! Hello, matey.
Come here, boy! I want to talk to you.
Bogg, help! So, it's two snoopers who'd steal an old sailor's prize, is it? What's he talking about? I didn't know you were there.
Honest, I didn't! That's your hard luck, sonny.
(GRUNTS) Mates! Over here! Wait here.
Come on, Bogg, let's get out of here.
No way, kid.
Voyagers don't run from a fight.
On the other hand, voyagers aren't stupid.
Come on.
Get after 'em! Come on, kid, we can outrun them! Hurry, lads, we're gaining on 'em! Don't let 'em get away! Come on! Oh, forget it, we'll never catch 'em.
BOGG: See, I told you we could outrun them.
JEFFREY: My feet are killing me.
This is it.
What do you think of Nassau? Wow, this place is great! You should've seen it Now, those were the good old days.
Some of the greatest pirates in all of history walked these very streets, Captain Kidd, Calico Jack, Blackbeard.
And Jean Lafitte, remember? Yeah, I didn't forget.
It's just that, well, some of my best friends have been pirates.
You know, you would have made a great tour guide at Disneyland.
Disneyland? Is that a country? (CHUCKLING) Bogg, give it up.
Look, there it is.
Two Maids From Bristol.
You wait out here.
I'll see if I can get a line on Lafitte.
Wait, I want to go with you.
What if that guy with the black eye patch is inside? I'm not scared of him.
MAN: Stay out of here, you scurvy bum.
On the other hand, that's probably not much of a place for kids anyway.
I'll be right back.
Hey, fellow, watch your step there, huh? Got a couple of coppers for an old sailor? Maybe next time.
Please, matey, anything'll help.
BOGG: I'm sorry.
(MUSIC PLAYING) (MUSIC STOPS) (MURMURING) (MUSIC PLAYING) (PEOPLE LAUGHING) Hello.
PARROT: What'll it be, mate? That's enough of that, now! That's enough of that, now! God save King George! You be quiet on your perch or I'll wring your neck.
Haven't seen you around.
Yeah, I just got into port.
If you're looking for lodging, I got two rooms left.
I don't know how long I'll be staying, it all depends on whether I can find the brother of an old shipmate or not.
Oh? What might his name be? Jean Lafitte.
So, it's Jean Lafitte you're looking for.
You know him? Oh, indeed I do.
He's right over there, having a little chat with Lizzie.
He must tell a good story.
He does have a way about him, that one.
Think I'll go over and say hello.
Thanks a lot.
Hey! Hey! Don't be leaving me so fast.
I was just starting to like you.
It'll just be a minute.
He'll be there.
Besides, it'd be rude to interrupt right in the best part of his story.
(CHUCKLING) You know, I'll bet that you have a few stories of your own to tell.
You've probably heard them all.
Why don't you let me be the judge of that? Got a penny for an old sailor? BLIND MAN: Help a poor, blind man, mate.
MAN: Get out of the way, you old bum.
How about a hand, mate? Help a poor, blind man.
Here you go.
Hey, let go! Open your hand.
Is that all you got, boy? No, sir, but Hey, wait a minute, you're not blind! And you're not doing enough to help the poor.
Now give me your purse and be quick about it! No! Bogg! Let me go, you old bum.
BLIND MAN: Come back here.
You little Come back here! Where are you, boy? Are you hiding in here? You won't get away from old Rufus.
Where'd he go? Get you, boy.
I'll get you.
SCROGGINS: In here, Scar, so we can talk in private.
SCAR: This better be good.
Come on.
All right, Scroggins, let's have it.
There's a Spanish merchantman due in the harbor any day now.
I hear tell she's as ripe a prize as my good eye has ever seen.
Silks, lace, barrels of rum bigger than that one.
A chest of gold.
Payment for the goods she delivered to Veracruz.
Now, what do you say, Scar? Would old Bill Scroggins steer a poor man's course? With enough likely lads as yourself, we can take her easy.
You already have the rest of the crew? Some's aboard already, clamoring to set sail.
The others are down at the Two Maids From Bristol.
What are they doing down there? Why aren't they out helping the others? 'Cause they don't know they're part of the crew just yet.
(BOTH LAUGHING) A couple of friends is recruiting 'em just now.
All we'll have to do is pick 'em up just afore we sail.
What do you say, Scar, are you with me? I'll probably be with you in hell, Bill Scroggins.
At least we'll be together.
(BOTH LAUGHING) (MUSIC PLAYING) Now, you've seen Pierre.
My brother is well? You're sure of it? Yes, when I saw him, he was as fit as I am.
Jean, can't we talk about this later? I haven't seen my brother in two years.
I wasn't even sure if he was alive.
He said if I was ever in Nassau, to be sure and look you up.
Are you sure you don't want anything to eat? No, thanks, I'm fine.
What did he say? Did he have a message for me? Yes, he said to tell you to come to New Orleans.
I've heard it said that a man can make his fortune in New Orleans.
A man can make his fortune right here in Nassau.
Besides, how could I leave my Lizzie? That's right.
Your brother's gonna be awfully disappointed.
It sounded like he misses you a lot.
I miss him, too, but New Orleans is so far away.
Not that far away.
Why don't we go down to the harbor right now and board a ship bound for New Orleans.
You can't leave.
We only just met.
But don't you see? It's best this way.
There's no sad memories and all that kind of junk.
What's wrong with him? Are you okay? You're going on a ship all right, but it's not to New Orleans.
You're going with him.
Oh, my head hurts.
What are we doing here? We've been shanghaied.
Annie and Lizzie are going to sell the lot of us to be crew on some ship.
Not just some ship.
Black Bill Scroggins' ship.
Big guy with a black patch over one eye? You're sure it'll be Bill Scroggins' ship? I saw them two ladies talking to him the night before they snatched me.
(LAUGHS) Perfect! Perfect? They drug your food, lock you up in their basement and sell you onto some pirate ship where you'll probably end up as some shark's lunch, and you call it perfect? Yes.
I've been trying to figure a way to get close to Scroggins for weeks.
He's supposed to have a chest full of gold and jewels that he took from the Manila Galleon.
Why didn't you just offer to sign on his ship? He's too suspicious.
Besides, no one ever wants to join one of his crews.
I don't believe this guy.
Bogg.
Don't worry, he's a friend.
Kid, you okay? I'm fine.
How about you? In shock.
I tried everything I could think of to save this guy, but no dice.
He wants to be shanghaied.
I bet you can't guess whose ship we're gonna end up on.
Oh, yes, I can.
Black Bill Scroggins' ship.
And that's not the worst part of it.
I overheard Scroggins planning to attack a Spanish merchant ship.
Pierre Lafitte said it was the Spanish that hanged Jean for piracy.
That's why we've got to get you and him out of here, and fast.
The only way of getting him out of here is to carry him.
Why does he want to be on Scroggins' ship so bad? He wants to get near Scroggins so he can get his treasure.
You mean the one we saw them burying? Must be.
The women who run the tavern, what are their names? Anne Brown and Lizzie I don't know.
Why? I'm gonna go have a talk with them.
About what? Buried treasure, what else? (HORSE SNUFFLING) Somebody's coming.
Got to go.
Jeffrey, wait! Not too much now, Your Majesty.
Not too much now, Your Majesty.
All right, what's wrong with you? We ought to keep those two for ourselves.
I was starting to like the new one.
There's plenty more where that scurvy pair came from.
Just wait till the next ship comes in.
Who knows? Prince Charming himself might be on board! Right.
Searching the world to find the perfect lady to be his queen.
Lucky for him he's got two of us to choose from! (LAUGHING) Hey, hold on, boy! What do you want in here? I'm looking for the owner.
You're looking at the owner.
One of them, anyway.
Where can we talk? "Where can we talk?" Over here.
The name's Jones, Jamaica Jones, off the brigantine Shark just out of the Dry Tortugas.
Well, I'm Anne Brown, this is Lizzie Palmer.
So, what's this all about? It's about buried treasure.
That's what it's about.
He's a little young to be Prince Charming, but Maybe he's looking for a Queen Mother.
As you were saying I know where a pirate's chest is hidden, and I'm willing to cut you in for a share.
Oh, you are, are you? Why me and Lizzie? I mean, you don't know us from old Eve herself.
You've got a mate of mine locked up downstairs in your cellar.
And I want him back.
In the cellar? What are you talking about? I'm talking about a chest this big, full of gold and jewels.
(PARROT SQUAWKING) Maria! MARIA: Sí, señora, what do you want? I want you to keep an eye on the place.
We'll be gone a while.
I don't want to escape to New Orleans and start a little shop with Pierre.
I want to stay here.
I like being a pirate.
I know.
I've been a pirate for longer than you'd ever believe.
But I've known them all and you're special.
You're a natural born leader.
You're gonna do something important Yes, one day when I have my own ship.
Captain Jean Lafitte, they'll call me.
Not if you join up with Scroggins, they won't.
How could you know that? You can't know the future.
No, but I know what the great captains of the past were like.
They were like me? Oh, yeah, very much like you.
(DOOR OPENS) Move! ANNIE: Now, get back! How could you do this? How could you sell me to that awful Bill Scroggins? It was easy.
Hey, you're coming with us.
And one more man to help with the shoveling.
Pick one.
Quick.
MAN: Take me.
I'll go.
I'll do it.
This one.
Me? Dig? I'm sick.
I can't go.
We're gonna dig up Scroggins' treasure, you idiot.
But, on the other hand, maybe a little exercise would make me feel better.
Nice job, kid.
It'll be easy to slip away once they get their hands on that treasure.
If I can just remember exactly where they buried it.
Over here.
I think this is it.
You think this is it? Here.
You heard him.
Start digging.
Where? Where is it? It's here someplace.
This is a big beach, kid.
When we start digging through the jewels, it will be easy.
You take Anne.
I'll take Lizzie.
Hey! Cut the gab! You're here to dig! (SQUAWKING) PARROT: What'll it be, matey? Look out! Parrot soup's what it'll be, matey! Yes? Where's Anne and the other one? Not here.
I'm watching the place.
Well, they're supposed to be here.
We got business, me and them.
Sorry.
You're gonna be more than sorry if you don't tell me where they went.
They left with a boy.
Boy? Black, curly hair? Red shirt? The little weasel! (SQUAWKING) Hey, watch it, matey! ANNIE: What are you gonna do? Dig up the whole beach? That tide must've buried it deeper than I thought.
But it's here, believe me.
JEAN: That's it! You found it.
(JEAN LAUGHS) JEFFREY: See? I told you! Come on.
ANNIE: Hurry up! Get it out of there! Lift it out! This is very heavy.
That's because it's very full.
So, we meet again, mateys.
What do you want here, Bill Scroggins? That's my chest you're digging up.
The chest belongs to whoever can hold on to it.
(ALL LAUGHING) I think we better help these ladies.
They can take care of themselves.
Come on, lads.
Lizzie, give me your sword.
If you want a cutlass, you get one from them! Look out, kid.
JEFFREY: Look out! JEFFREY: Bogg, there's another one.
Behind you! Now, now, Annie, don't make me hurt you.
Don't worry about me, Scroggins.
Look out for yourself.
Not bad for a woman! (YELLS) Watch it! I've got you now, my beauty! Get up and fight! Come on, Scroggins.
Say good night, you slimy little miscreant.
Next time, I'll cut it off.
JEFFREY: Way to go, Bogg, just like Errol Flynn.
Come on.
(LAUGHING) BOGG: Now we've got him.
And now you don't.
(SCREAMS) Okay! Now, what are you gonna do? Don't touch that sword.
That's it, run! Come on, Bogg.
ANNIE: Bogg, look out! Hey, you're pretty good with a sword.
But how well can you swim? (EXCLAIMS) Yeah! Look at them run! Yeah! Looks like we did it, kid.
Let's get that chest open.
Help me.
Great fight! Yeah! You two are something else.
Lizzie! You were magnificent! Back off! But Lizzie, you'll need someone strong to help you carry it to town.
Uh-uh-uh.
You'd be surprised how strong two ladies can be when they want to be.
JEAN: But Lizzie Get out of here! All of you! Wow! What a couple of tough chicks! Okay, we're going.
We get the message.
And just keep going.
I don't believe this.
We had the treasure in our hands, and we lost it to those women.
Don't feel bad.
Those two are not ordinary women.
Listen to him.
If anyone knows women, it's Bogg.
Thanks, kid.
I think.
The women of New Orleans, what are they like? BOGG: Far more beautiful than the women of Nassau.
And more gentle? Much more gentle.
You know, my friend, I've been thinking about what you said.
This place is not for me.
The people, they don't know a natural leader when they see one.
I think I shall find that ship you were talking about and go to New Orleans.
I have a feeling you're gonna do big things in New Orleans.
(SCOFFS) (CHUCKLES) (DINGS) JEFFREY: Green light! You know, kid, in all my years as a voyager, Lafitte's the only one who ever tried to stop me from getting him out of trouble.
But you did it.
You got him started in the right direction.
Yeah, but what if he makes a wrong turn somewhere between here and New Orleans? You know, Bogg, I've always wanted to meet Andrew Jackson.
Well, you're gonna get your chance.
JACKSON: Keep a sharp lookout, men.
Sharp lookout! Wake up, there, Kelly.
You can sleep for a week when this is over.
It won't be too much longer now.
See anything? Nothing yet.
Why did it have to be foggy today of all days? I don't know that that fog means anything to get all riled up about, Mr.
Bundy.
They can't see us any better than we can see them.
You got a point, Andy.
(PLUMMETING) One good thing about swamps, they're soft.
Yeah, and foggy.
Just how it's supposed to be.
Is it the right date? (BEEPING) January 8, 1815, and it's red! Maybe it's not Lafitte.
Let's find out what's going on.
It's going to be Lafitte.
I know it is.
Keep a sharp lookout there, boys.
There he is, Bogg! That's Old Hickory! General Jackson! Where have you two fellows been? We've been waiting for you.
You have? Sure.
For the flints and powder.
Where's Captain Lafitte? You mean he isn't with you? Well, no.
He took some of his men to bring back the flints and powder, which we desperately need.
They've been gone all night.
They should've been back before now.
You can say that again.
You two are with Captain Lafitte? I mean, the way you're dressed, I thought Yes, sir, we are with Captain Lafitte.
We were supposed to meet him here at dawn.
Well, it's almost dawn.
I hope for all our sakes he gets here pretty soon.
We need his flints and we need his men.
Don't worry, General Jackson.
He'll be here in plenty of time.
I knew it was Lafitte.
Maybe he's in some kind of trouble.
He's in trouble, all right.
With me.
Bogg, we've gotta find him.
The redcoats will attack at dawn.
Without Lafitte's men, without his flints and powder, there's no way the Americans can hold them off.
Yeah, all right.
Start asking around.
We have to find out where he was going.
Look alive, men.
BOGG: Must've missed him.
It's getting lighter all the time.
This has to be the right trail.
It's the one they said he'd take.
MAN: Finally this bloody fog is beginning to clear.
Get down! MAN 2: Good.
The sun can't come out soon enough for me.
You think we ought to try another trail? No! We're already lost.
We could walk right into the Yank lines.
Why do they have to be lost right on our trail? Bogg, look.
Lafitte! I knew he'd be in some kind of trouble.
Shh! Stay where you are.
Get back.
Stay down.
This is great.
Just great.
What are we gonna do? It's dawn! The redcoats are gonna attack any minute now.
Remember Lewis and Clark? Lewis and Clark.
Lewis and Clark! Yeah, right! Indians! Right! Ready? Come on! Hey, don't shoot! The Indians are after us.
Indians? I thought the colonials were up that way.
Yeah, maybe they are, but you got to get past the Indians first.
Yeah, and there must be 1000 of them right behind us! A thousand of them? Thank God you got weapons.
Do you have any extras? I don't see anything.
That's the way it is with these Indians around here.
They're so clever, you never see them until it's, well, too late.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
One thing's for sure.
I won't be caught out in the open like this.
Down here, quick! Go ahead, we're right behind you.
Take cover.
Every man for himself.
How good are you at dying? I don't know.
I've never tried it before.
You never played Cowboys and Indians before? Oh, that kind of dying.
Well, hey.
Okay, on the count of three.
Ready? One, two, three.
(BOTH GROANING) Indians? But I didn't hear any gunshots.
And I don't see any arrows in them.
Then what happened to them? I don't think I want to find out.
Retreat! Retreat! Wake up, Bogg.
Captain Lafitte is safe now.
Come on.
Let's go.
But don't I know you? We'll talk about it later.
You go on.
We'll catch up to you.
Thank you, my friends.
Thank you.
I shall not forget this.
Let's go.
Come on, Bogg, let's get back to General Jackson! MAN: The powder and the flints are here.
Hurry up and get them passed out.
Careful with that, kid, it's heavy.
No, I can handle it.
Let me help you with that.
Thanks.
Looks like we made it.
Yeah, check the Omni.
I'm afraid to.
Thank you very much for helping us back there.
We could not have made it without you.
Lucky we happened to be there when you needed us.
Again.
I'm sure I've seen you somewhere.
From Nassau.
The Two Maids From Bristol? Anne Brown? You gotta remember Lizzie.
But you'd have to be much older! That's clean living for you.
Say, what ever happened to your brother, Pierre? He's back at the boats, unloading.
He'll be as surprised to see you as I am.
Get some of that powder down to battery C! Yes, sir.
Captain Lafitte! Take some of your men down there, too.
That battery could use some riflemen.
Men, follow me! Bring them on, Andy, we're ready for them.
Hold your horses, Mr.
Bundy.
Hold your horses.
They'll be here soon enough.
Keep down, kid! General Jackson! I heard what you did for Captain Lafitte.
He would have made it without us.
That's not what he says.
When this is over (BAGPIPES PLAYING) JEFFREY: Bogg, what's that? BOGG: It's the British, Jeff, they're coming.
This is it.
Jeff, get back.
I told you to stay down.
(EXPLOSION) Nobody fires till I give the order! (EXPLOSION) Fire! Fire! Fire! (EXPLOSION) (GUNS FIRING) Reload and keep firing! Reload and fire at will! Retreat! Retreat! All right! You did it, men.
They're running.
They're turning tail, Andy! They're running! We did it! We did it, Andy! We did it! We beat them! I believe we did, Mr.
Bundy! I believe we did.
JACKSON: Well done, men.
Well done.
What a victory! Back in Nassau, long ago, you said I do something important in New Orleans.
How did you know? Sometimes I get these hunches about people.
I had a feeling destiny had something planned for you.
But to be part of such a victory, I never dreamed of being part of such a thing.
Thank you, my friends.
Thank you.
You know, if he only knew how important this victory really is.
What do you mean? Well, this battle showed everybody the United States was no one to mess around with.
These redcoats we beat were the best army in the world.
They were the ones who beat Napoleon.
Why didn't you tell me that before the battle? Pretty soon they'll be calling General Jackson "The Hero of New Orleans.
" I hope not.
I don't deserve it.
Everybody here is a hero.
My Kentuckyans, Captain Lafitte and his men, and the two of you.
I said before the shooting started, I wanted to thank you personally when this was over.
Oh, sir, just being with you here is all the thanks I need.
Well, it's not all the thanks I have to give.
Mr.
Bogg, raise him up here.
For bravery in service of your country far beyond the call of duty.
ALL: Hip, hip, hurray! Wow! When you grow up, son, get in touch with me.
I have a feeling you're gonna be a man who does some great things.
Thanks.
Let's go, men.
Here, Bogg, you deserve it more than I do.
Oh, I don't know about that.
Besides, it looks better on you.
