[00:04.75] The battle of Yorktown, 1781

[00:11.01] Monsieur Hamilton

[00:11.74] Monsieur Lafayette

[00:13.01] In command where you belong

[00:14.25] How you say, no sweat

[00:15.29] Finally on the field. We've had quite a run

[00:17.76] Immigrants, we get the job done

[00:21.47] So what happens if we win?

[00:23.01] I go back to France

[00:23.75] I bring freedom to my people

[00:25.26] If I'm given the chance

[00:26.24] We'll be with you when you do

[00:27.72] Go lead your men

[00:28.76] See you on the other side

[00:30.01] 'Til we meet again, let's go!

[00:30.99] I am not throwin' away my shot!

[00:33.53] I am not throwin' away my shot!

[00:35.77] Hey yo, I'm just like my country

[00:37.48] I'm young scrappy and hungry

[00:38.49] And I'm not throwin' away my shot!

[00:41.00] I am not throwin' away my shot!

[00:43.24] 'Til the world turns upside down

[00:45.73] 'Til the world turns upside down!

[00:50.74] I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory

[00:53.01] This is where it gets me: on my feet the enemy ahead of me

[00:55.75] If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me

[00:58.24] Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me.

[01:00.75] Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me

[01:03.24] Not only that, my Eliza's expecting.

[01:06.00] We gotta go, gotta get the job done

[01:08.00] Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!

[01:10.51] Take the bullets out your gun!

[01:11.49] What?

[01:11.99] The bullets out your gun!

[01:12.75] What?

[01:13.50] We move undercover and we move as one

[01:15.27] Through the night, we have one shot to live

[01:17.32] Another day.

[01:17.82] We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away.

[01:20.34] We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it.

[01:23.11] It's either that or meet the business end of

[01:24.60] A bayonet.

[01:25.59] The code word is 'Rochambeau, ' dig me?

[01:27.33] Rochambeau!

[01:28.09] You have your orders now, go, man, go!

[01:30.09] And so the American experiment begins

[01:32.36] With my friends all scattered to the winds.

[01:34.33] Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining

[01:37.34] Brav'ry.

[01:37.84] We'll never be free until we end slavery!

[01:39.58] When we finally drive the British away

[01:42.12] Lafayette is there waiting in Chesapeake Bay!

[01:44.84] How did we know that this plan would work?

[01:47.33] We had a spy on the inside. That's right

[01:49.36] Hercules Mulligan!

[01:50.63] A tailor spyin' on the British government!

[01:52.08] I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it!

[01:54.33] Up

[01:55.61] To my brother's revolutionary covenant

[01:57.08] I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!

[02:00.12] See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians.

[02:02.13] We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!

[02:04.61] Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction

[02:06.85] When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!

[02:16.92] Left! Right! Hold!

[02:19.92] Go!

[02:21.95] What! What! What!

[02:38.92] After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet.

[02:44.92] We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief.

[02:49.69] And just like that, it's over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead.

[02:53.42] Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom.

[02:57.21] Not yet

[02:58.67] We negotiate the terms of surrender.

[03:01.18] I see George Washington smile.

[03:03.69] We escort their men out of Yorktown.

[03:06.20] They stagger home single file.

[03:08.93] Tens of thousands of people flood the streets.

[03:11.42] There are screams and church bells ringing.

[03:13.92] And as our fallen foes retreat

[03:15.92] I hear the drinking song they're singing

[03:18.17] The world turned upside down

[03:23.16] The world turned upside down

[03:27.93] The world turned upside down

[03:32.95] The world turned upside down

[03:36.70] Down, down, down, down

[03:41.24] Freedom for America, freedom for France!

[03:42.76] Down, down, down

[03:45.25] Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son

[03:47.78] Down, down, down

[03:50.50] We won!

[03:51.27] We won!

[03:51.76] We won!

[03:52.30] We won!

[03:53.27] The world turned upside down!
