The Infiltrator Episode 13

Three American soldiers are being held prisoner outside Chester.   Posing as a servant delivering the prisoners' last meal, Isak is escorted inside, while Jeremy and Henry climb onto the roof.  While the prisoners are eating, Isak waits inside for the return of the plates.  Outside, Jeremy and Henry neutralize the redcoats who are standing guard.  When all the soldiers are overwhelmed, the prisoners are released, and the redcoats are placed inside the cell.  With a piece of chalk, Jeremy writes a large YD on the door.

When a redcoat officer arrives to interrogate the prisoners, he discovers his own men locked inside the cell, and observes the YD on the door with scorn.  "This time, I'll see Yankee Doodle swinging at the end of a rope!  We will use a spy to catch a spy!"

At the tavern in Chester, Henry, Isak, and Jeremy raise their steins of ale to celebrate their successful mission.

During the celebration, a trio of strangers enter the tavern, attracting the attention of the young rebels.

Two British soldiers enter behind the strangers, and one of them withdraws a parchment from his uniform and reads the decree offering a reward in gold for the identity of Yankee Doodle

The strangers respond by starting a fight, and the two men are arrested.  Jeremy subdues the woman to keep her from being arrested as well.

Stating that he is acting on his father's behalf, Jeremy goes to the Redcoat barracks and requests the release of the two prisoners, claiming that the mayor's town was trying to remain neutral.  The officer is suspicious, but Jeremy explains that he is doing the girl a favor.  Reluctantly, the officer signs the release for the prisoners.

Mayor Larkin is in Philadelphia, so Jeremy invites his friends and the three strangers to his house for dinner.  The young woman, Rachel, is curious why they have not joined the revolution.

"What would you have us do?" Jeremy asks. "Something magnificent!" "Working for the revolution might not be as romantic as you think," he tells her, knowingly.

As they retire for the night, the man called Irish pauses to thank Jeremy for his help.  Later, Jeremy, Henry, and Isak ride to Lafayette's camp, unaware that Jonathan has seen them leave.

Weary and unshaven, Lafayette informs them that the redcoats are expecting additional wagonloads of ammunition to keep up the fight, while his own men are running low.  Jeremy suggests that they stop the wagons, but Lafayette objects, staing that it would be too risky for only three men.  Henry suggests using their new friends.

The next day, they invite their three newcomers to join them on the mission. "What is the mission?" they ask. "A wagon load of ammunition is going to the front . . . and we don't want it to get there," Jeremy explains.

A short time later, a homing pigeon, which is being kept secretly in the woods outside Chester, is released.  On it's leg, it is carrying information which will aid the British.

As the mission gets underway, Isak expresses concern because Jonathan keeps asking questions about Yankee Doodle, but they decide to go ahead with the mission anyway, while keeping a close watch on the newcomers.
