What have you done?

The fort is within f*ring range.

Now ye've seen it wi' yer own eyes.

The only thing I have seen, Colonel,

is your flagrant
disregard for authority.

I instructed them to aim wide, sir,

only meant to demonstrate the
vulnerability of our defenses.

[STACTOE] By creating another?

Taking men and cannon outside
the protection of these walls?

What if they fell into enemy hands?

This entire fort will fall
into the enemy's hands

if we dinna put men on that hill.

[STACTOE] Enough.

How dare you humiliate me, sir,

disobeying my order with
this reckless public spectacle.

I should put you in
chains for your insubordination!

Fortunately for you,

I cannot spare a single soldier.

If and when the British att*ck, by land,

we need every man inside
to defend the fort!

Bring your men
and that cannon back here,

immediately.

And they are not
to leave the fort again.
