The final episode in the series features Gary Lockwood as a conniving double agent that Jeremy must find and take back to American lines. It's an ugly twist on not just war but human nature, even though I don't care much for the ending.
Unlike the fantastic flop of the initial episode, the series twelfth entry does successfully find a link between then present-day countercultural problems and the American Revolution. Henry's cousin Richard, a frustrated ex-college student (played humbly by Richard Kelton, wild gray hair and all) turns to terrorism to fight the British, so Henry, Jeremy, Isak, and General Lafayette have to find a way to stop him. Guess who else has a bit part in this episode? Farrah Fawcett. And she's goofy but quite endearing.
Another episode which, like To Hang A Hero, takes liberties with history - this time with William Billings, who was a composer during the American Revolution. I have no idea if this story as presented as actually happened in real life. It probably did not. The good thing is there is enough supsense and drama to cover up the plot holes, weird casting choices (the creepy French engineer guy), and cringey scenes (especially when Jeremy and Isak sing a slave song while bringing back firewood) which serve to drag the episode down.
The rebels get trapped in a mine along with British soldiers after an attack on a British supply column, and together they must dig their way out of the rubble. An admirable episode along the lines of Blood of an Englishman or Fort Hope, but because of the setting, it's a visual disaster in need of remastering.
