Subtitled by BRUNO October 2014.
Out of the wreckage of the Danish defeat in the war of 1864, Jon and his brother crossed the Atlantic to forge a new future for themselves.
For seven years, they struggled to get a foothold in an unfamiliar land.
Seven years in which Jon longed for his wife, Marie, and their son.
Seven years of a family arpart. The year is 1871. The country, America.
Kresten, it's your father. Good day.
Welcome Marie. Thank you.
How nice to see you. You too.
Say hello to your uncle, Peter.
Good day.
I'd better see to go. So do not lose your place on the stage.
Are not you going with us?
Uh, no.
Peter likes to stay inside the city once in a while.
Hellow. Ma'am.
Where are you going?
My wife doesn't speak the language. She will learn.
You not only look like them, You also sound like them.
It happens.
I'm sorry, there's been a mistake. You'll have to take the next coach.
But we've paid for these seats. Sorry, ma'am.
This is no way to treat newcomers.
We have been traveling for weeks. I'm sorry ma'am, but you'll have to get out.
Do as he says.
Are there many animals? Yes, there are many different animals.
There are foxes, there are bears, there are deer. Are there bears where we live?
Where we live? No, there is not any.
But if there was one ...
Then we shoot it and skin it. And sell it down in the city.
Is there a town nearby? Yeah, not so far from us.
We can get there in a day.
Kresten ... You should not be worried, right?
It's a really nice place.
And I've built, so there is room for all of us.
When will I be old enough to go out hunting?
I think actually, it is tomorrow.
If you fancy.
Sorry, I haven't had a drink for three years. Kinda forgot what this stuff will do to ya.
Out here when you're offered a drink, ma'am ... You drink.
Marie, take a sip.
It's what you do here.
You ain't got a hell of a lot to say, do ya?
I like that.
My own princess, she don't talk at all. She mute.
Indians cut her tongue when she was a little girl.
I suppose they got tired of hearing her screaming when they killed her parents.
What is your name?
My wife's name is Marie.
It's a beautiful name.
You just come out here?
My wife and son did, yes. I've been here for a while.
It's not so easy for anyone, to be without a woman, for so such a long itme.
God damn it's hot here.
You're not used to this heat are you, Marie?
No, I suppose you're not.
There is always a solution.
Let's see what you got.
Don't do that.
Such a warm little flower.
Don't do that.
You threatening me?
No, I'm telling you to get your hands off and behave.
Kinda sounds like you was threatening me.
That's the impression I got. What do you think Lester?
Yep.
I'm not trying to threaten anyone, I'm just trying to...
What are you gonna do about it?
You can't do nothing.
Come here!
Nothing. You can't do a god damn thing.
Hold still!
Bite his ear. Marie, bite his ear.
Do not be afraid.
Kresten, pick up the gun.
Do not be afraid.
Just take it.
And stay down, Kresten. No, stay down. Stay down, Kresten!
Lower your gun.
Do it!
God damn son of a bitch! I don't like you much, dude!
You have 5 seconds to get out of here.
You understand me? One ...
Two!
Three.
Marie ...
She ain't dead! She'll be fine!
Wait, wait!
She ain't dead.
Wait, wait.
I didn't touch the boy.
Who did it?
I have not seen them before.
Strangers.
It's a sad day, Mr. Delarue.
But we must bear in mind that no one in this peaceful town is involved in the gruesome killing of your men.
Where is my brother?
Your brother?
Mayor Keane? Sir?
Make sure he doesn't stink of booze when the princess sees him.
Of course.
You bring him to my house, I'll make sure he looks his best self.
Take him there.
Did you catch the killer?
Mr. Delarue, I can assure you it ain't nobody from around here.
I need to know who killed my brother.
There's no witnesses survived.
Whip and the shotgun were shot dead also.
We lost two lives today.
One was own blood.
I will give you two hours to find the man that did this.
And sheriff ... I want that man alive.
That's impossible.
You are a man of god, sheriff Mallick.
I'm sure you've heard the words of our lord:
A tooth for a tooth.
Ya.
Now you have until noon to find the man who did this.
Or you bring me two of your people.
Mr. Delarue ...
You choose two, Mayor Keane ...
Or I will take four.
Of course.
I am ready, Father.
The whole town will always be grateful to you.
Take good care of my grandson, you hear me?
We'll try the best we can.
I for one, will help the boy run the store.
This isn't right.
I am not sure I can make it without you, Grandma.
Of course you can, my boy.
Please don't! Please!
Please father. Please help me, please father.
My life's not that bad. I don't want to die!
I've never been a burden. I'm innocent. I'm innocent please don't.
May God have mercy on your evil soul.
Everybody, Stay calm.
Well, Sheriff ...
A tired old woman and a half man ...
- that didn't add up.
That man's death, that's on you two.
Tell me somethin, Mayor Keane ...
How much does Black Creek pay in protection.
80 dollars every month.
Seems to me you're gonna need more protection with a killer around.
From now on... that fee is doubled.
Mr. Delarue, this is barren land. We can't generate those amounts.
$160 due at the end of the month. Every month.
Until you find the man who killed my brother.
Are we in agreement.
Yes. Yes, we are.
I thought we would be.
Let him rest in peace, princess.
I will find the man who killed Paul.
And I will personally make him pay the price. That's a promise.
I will take care of you now. Together ...
Raul, see.
I'll go and talk to the sheriff.
See you in a bit.
Good day to you.
Where is your grandmother?
She's dead.
Delarue shot her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What can I do for you?
I got some skins.
We're going west.
So the only two men around here know how to shoot are leaving.
Guess so.
Weren't you two soldiers back where you came from?
You know we could use people like you if we were ever going to face that murderer.
Ya I was a soldier once and it taught me a lesson.
Don't get into a fight you know you're gonna lose.
Cowards.
Undertaker Nathan Keane
Who's that?
Jon.
It's good to see you in town for once.
You still buying up land?
I do occasionally, ya.
How much will you give me?
Well, I couldn't possibly give you more than 145.
That's half of what we paid for the land 6 years ago.
Like I said, times are hard.
Ever since Delerue raised his fees there's a lot of people want to sell.
Still, you're a good man and I want to help.
Let's make it 150?
Or you can bide your time.
Who knows. If they find the man that killed Delarue's brother...
well, tempers may calm and prices may rise.
What man? You don't know?
Delarue's brother just got out of jail and some lunatic killed him.
He shot everyone on the stage coach.
Since then it's well...
I take the 150th You won't regret.
I'll need you to sign this.
Where will you go?
I'll try and find a place further west.
I'd probably do the same, If I was a young man.
That's for you.
And this is for me.
You'll need to keep that money somewhere safe.
In your boots, maybe?
There's a lot of hungry people out there.
14, 15 deeds at a collected sum of $3148.
And 12 percent, you're entitled to $3524.
And 76 cents.
Let's make it a dollar.
Madelaine takes pride in making sure those books add up.
Well, the devil is in the detail ...
The company does not like the way thing's are going.
Are you aware that the sheriff in Black Creek, wired the federal government for help.
I managed to block the communication for now.
But you can go on using the same methods as you used in the army.
These people are not Indians.
Standard Atlantic, is a modern company Colonel Delarue.
And we need our operations to look civilized.
Am I making myself clear?
Good.
Now, how long before Black Creek is bought up?
I'll have the whole valley bought up in a week if you let me do things my way.
Just answer the question.
You keep the cavalry out of the equation, I recon it will take me 3-4 months.
That's all I needed to know.
Good day to you.
So they want me to be civilized, princess.
Hell, I guess I can do that.
As long as we we keep piling up the money.
Alright boys, I'll take it from here.
Let Pete run. Mallick?
He wasn't on that stage coach. He's not involved in this.
He broke a deputy marshal's jaw. And he's gonna have to take his legal punishment for that.
But unfortunately, things are going to be... a little bit different for you.
I had to send word to Delarue, that we got you in custody.
I'm sure you're aware he's been... making life hard for... all of us.
I do not know what happened to him.
He used to be a good man.
I guess killing all those Indians, must have ...
unsettled his mind.
I am sorry for your loss, Jon.
Now I am.
But you seem to have followed him right down the same path.
If you had shown just a little compassion for Delarue's brother, instead of killing him then.
Mrs. Borowski, and Mr. Whistler and Joe-no leg, they'd still be here.
It won't be the last man Delarue's gonna kill around here.
Nope. Probably not.
But your death's going to buy us some time.
I already wired for assistance.
Try and restore some law and order.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a single sheep to save the rest.
I'm just a shepherd, guarding his flock.
They say you were a soldier.
Did you ever fight, in a war?
I did.
Who was the enemy.
The Germans.
Germans? Bravo.
You have my respect.
Well, here he is.
The worthless son of a bitch that killed your beloved husband.
Your beloved husband, killed my 10 year old son.
Then he raped my wife.
No one asked you to talk.
Well, we will soon find out what you're made of, soldier.
You're late.
I'll be with you in a moment, Henry.
Can I have his boots?
Go ahead.
Keane ...
You won't be needing these, my friend. Not where you are going.
I got a christening this morning.
So sunday mass gonna take a little longer.
You can give him water if he asks for it. And don't get excited.
Could I have some water?
Nope.
Sorry to turn my back on you.
But the view is better from here.
Got you pretty good, didn't I?
I mean you were ugly before I knocked out your teeth.
But now?
Hope you have a woman that loves you.
Cause you ain't gonna find one with that face.
You probably never could get anything without paying for it.
Not with that stupid voice of yours.
It's gonna cost you extra now. That's for sure.
Shut up!
I actually did you a favor. I mean it's better now.
Now you don't just sound like a sick mule, you look like one, too.
I said shut up!
People won't be as surprised when you open your mouth.
God damnit I'm gonna kill you.
Probably a family thing.
I'm sure your whore mother sounded like a mule when you were conceived.
God damn!
Do you know how long, I've waited for this very moment.
You felt that, didn't you?
Of course you did.
You are so ... beautiful.
You know what those... what those savages did to you? Taking your tongue?
I know it must have been horrible for you.
But I see it as... a gift.
To me.
When I'm done here ...
You and me, we're gonna... We're gonna get a place in New Orleans.
Oh you will shine.
You will be the princess of New Orleans.
Get the horses.
Jon! Jon! I'm coming back.
They split up.
Corsican, take half the men, follow this trail.
The rest come with me.
Third class.
Bring your sister inside the house Billy, and take Daddy's gun.
We don't want ya here.
You shouldn't drink from the well, it is full of that sticky oil.
I left you some bread and boiled water.
Thank you, Mrs. Whisler.
Why are you leaving? Delarue killed my husband.
Sorry to leave you like this.
Want to come with us?
I'll be fine.
He's gonna kill you.
Your Paul, he ... He saved you from the Indians.
But he never did straighten you out.
God damnit.
Now I gotta kill you.
That's a shame, Henry.
We could take good care of her.
There's nothing wrong with the body.
Once again... good fortune smiles down upon you, princess.
Once you've all had your way with her... Cut her throat.
I would like my boots back.
Your boots?
sure.
I kept them here for you.
I keep them nice and and clean. Look.
Here.
Did you buy Mrs. Whistler's farm?
Yes, I believe I did.
Have you got her deed?
What? This is all very confusing. What about my deed?
You want your money, huh?
Sure. Sure, here.
Here it is, Jon. Take it, take it all.
What were you doing over at Delarue's place?
Someone who'd died.
Everyone deserves a coffin. Even though the ain't going to heaven.
Henry ... What?
You called him Henry.
Get the lid off that coffin.
Sure.
I'm an undertaker.
That's what I was doing there. Somebody has got to take care of these matters.
Get in.
Aw, look I'm just trying to make a good living.
Ya know? That's all. I'm a businessman.
You're not even a man.
What are you doing? Get in.
You won't get away with this. Get in.
I'm the mayor of this town.
I try to help people.
Nobody wants the land.
Please don't. No please.
No, please. God, no.
Jon! You're right, Jon.
I don't keep the deeds.
I give them to Delarue.
I need a revolver, holster, and ammunition for my Winchester.
Give me a knife, as well. I'll pay for it.
Also need two bottles of kerosene.
I want you to go to Mallick.
Tell him that Keane has been making money on all of us.
All that land and houses he bought ...
Wasn't for himself, he was selling it all to Delarue.
It's that sticky oil.
Delarue believes that it will soon be worth thousands.
You think you and your brother are going to fight Delarue all alone?
No, my brother is dead.
Let me come.
You're just a kid. I'm not a kid. I'm 16 in May.
I've been practicing my sooting. I'm not a bad shot.
You don't stand a chance on your own.
Brought his own coffin.
Burn him.
Barn's on fire!
Shoot! Do it!
I underestimated you, soldier.
You may have killed all my men...
But you sure as hell-
So you did him in.
And all his men.
Ya know we've been hoping. Praying.
For someone like you to come along.
Save us from our misery.
And that's what you did.
Only good souls left now.
I thought you got em all.
She's coming with me.
You don't wanna go down that path, Jon.
I want you to leave this place.
May the lord have mercy on both your souls.
