BLASTED THIEF IS BACK AGAIN.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!

COME ON, LET ME GO.

GOT A THIEF, BOYS.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIEVES?

LET'S STRETCH HIM!

STRING HIM UP!

LET'S GO, COME ON.

LET ME GO.

LET ME GO.

HOLD HIM STILL.

JIM, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

ANY LAST WORDS?

DROP DEAD.

HA, HA, HA, HA.

THIS AIN'T YOUR CONCERN.

YOU'RE IMPEDING THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.

IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE JUSTICE TO ME.

LOOK CLOSER.

HE STOLE GOLD FROM HALF THE CAMP.

MAYBE SO.

BUT UNLESS YOU FELLAS-

YOU WANT TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH UNCLE SAM.

WELL, I SUGGEST YOU LET US SORT IT OUT.

FINE.

HE'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW.

THANK YOU, STRANGER.

JIM BRIDGER.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU, BRIDGER!

I KILL YOU!

THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

FOR AN OLD MAN.

FITZGERALD.

THAT'S JUST A TASTE OF WHAT

YOU'VE GOT COMING, BRIDGER.

YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

THESE DAYS PEOPLE HEAR THE NAME JOHN FITZGERALD,

THEY START TYING NUECES.

IT SEEMS TO ME I JUST SAVED THEIR LIFE DOWN HERE.

OH, SO YOU WANT A MEDAL?

EVERYWHERE I GO, THAT'S ALL I HEAR.

JIM BRIDGER THE SAVIOR.

JIM BRIDGER THE HERO.

IF ONLY THEY KNEW YOU LIKE I DO.

JIM BRIDGER THE COWARD.

JIM BRIDGER THE LIAR.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, BOYS.

I GOT THIS.

JIM, WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?

OH, HE AIN'T TOLD YOU THAT STORY, HAS HE.

I GUESS IT'S HARD TO MAKE YOURSELF A HERO

WHEN YOU LEFT A MAN TO DIE.

WE BOTH LEFT HIM TO DIE.

YOU'VE GOT THIS BOY WORSHIPING THE GROUND

YOU WALK ON, BRIDGER.

GO AHEAD.

TELL HIM THE TRUTH.

WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT, JIM?

YOU'VE HEARD THE STORY OF HUGH GLASS, CAPTAIN?

SURE, I THINK I'VE HEARD THE TALE.

HE SURVIVED A BEAR ATTACK AND CRAWLED 200 MILES

TO SAFETY AFTER HIS MEN LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO- ?

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE MEN THAT LEFT HUGH GLASS TO DIE.

ME AND FITZGERALD HERE.

WE WAS WITH HIM.

AND FITZGERALD HERE, HE SAID,

THAT HE SAW AN INDIAN WAR PARTY COMING CLOSE.

HE SAID THAT WE NEED TO LEAVE GLASS BEHIND

AND WE WERE GONNA GET KILLED.

WE LEFT HIM, HUH?

WE DID.

THEN WE TOLD EVERYBODY THAT HE WAS DEAD.

BUT HE WASN'T.

NO.

HE WAS NOT.

THAT TOUGH OLD BIRD.

HE JUST HUNG ON.

AND HE FOUND ME.

AND I DESERVE IT.

BUT HE FORGAVE ME.

AND NOT A DAY GOES BY

THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT SINCE.

YOU WASTED 40 YEARS THINKING ABOUT THAT OLD FOOL.

YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL, HAVE YOU?

YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME, BRIDGER.

WE BOTH LEFT GLASS TO DIE.

WE BOTH LIED ABOUT IT.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE LOOKING IN A MIRROR.

I BELIEVED THAT FOR A LONG TIME.

HUGH GLASS MAY HAVE FORGIVEN ME, BUT...

I COULDN'T FORGIVE MYSELF.

UNTIL I GOT A SECOND CHANCE

TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

WELL, GO AHEAD,

TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR SECOND CHANCE.

I DON'T MIND LISTENING IF IT'LL KEEP ME

FROM GETTING HANGED FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES.

THIS WAS A COUPLE YEARS AFTER THE GLASS INCIDENT.

BUT I WAS STILL JUST A KID, BARELY 22.

BRIDGER, V/O: WELL, I WAS WITH THIS TRAPPER, ZEB MORGAN.

AN OLD TIME READING BACK THEN.

AND HIS KID, AMOS SICKLES.

WELL, HE WAS EVEN GREENER THAN I WAS.

AND WE WERE TRAPPIN' SOME NEW COUNTRY IN NORTHERN UTAH.

AND WE ENDED UP IN A DESERT.

THERE WAS NO GAIN, NO WATER, NOT FOR DAYS AND DAYS.

JUST A LITTLE BIT NOW.

ONLY A FEW SWALLOWS LEFT.

DANGGIT, BRIDGER.

IF WE DON'T FIND WATER SOON, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.

RIGHT HERE.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO SPLIT UP.

WE GO IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS FOR ABOUT A HALF A DAY.

YOU FIND WATER, YOU FIRE A SHOT.

WE'RE GOING TO MEET RIGHT BACK HERE EITHER WAY, OK?

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW YOU, BRIDGER?

HOW'S THAT?

SPLIT UP.

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

LEAVE US TO DIE OUT HERE.

JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH HUGH GLASS.

YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?

SAY IT.

THEN WE BETTER GET GOING.

STOPPING WAS A WASTE OF TIME.

SICKLES.

LOOKING AT YOUR PARCHED MOUTH,

AIN'T GONNA FILL IT UP WITH WATER.

PUT THAT THING AWAY

AND GET UP!

SHUT UP MORGAN.

SICKLES.

HERE.

WE NEED TO FIND WATER, OK?

SO WE'RE GOING TO SPLIT UP.

RIGHT?

SURE.

BRIDGER, V/O: I SPENT HOURS LOOKING FOR WATER.

BUT THERE WASN'T A DROP TO BE FOUND.

EVENTUALLY, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HEAD BACK.

HOPING THAT MORGAN OR SICKLES HAD BETTER LUCK THAN ME.

NO WATER.

WHERE'S SICKLES?

DON'T KNOW.

I AIN'T SEEN HIM.

THINK HE FOUND WATER?

DIDN'T HEAR A SHOT.

WE GOTTA FIND HIM, MORGAN.

HE COULD BE INJURED, OR-

OR HE COULD BE DEAD.

HE PROBABLY IS, BRIDGER.

JUST LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE IF WE DON'T FIND WATER.

LOOK.

YOU SEARCHED THAT WAY AND I SEARCH THAT WAY, RIGHT?

SO, WE BOTH KNOW WHERE THERE ISN'T ANY WATER.

OUR ONLY CHANCE OF FINDING ANY IS IF WE FOLLOW SICKLES TRAIL.

MAYBE WE FIND HIM TOO.

EVEN IF HE IS DEAD.

LEAD THE WAY.

BRIDGER, V/O: WE FOLLOWED SICKLES TRAIL

FOR A COUPLE HOURS.

AND THEN I SAW WHAT SEEMED TO BE A MIRACLE.

I KNEW WE'D FIND WATER.

HOT DAY, GET SOME WATER.

WAIT, WAIT.

WE CAN'T DRINK THIS.

HAVE TO KEEP MOVING.

THINK SICKLES FOUND THIS?

NO DOUBT.

AS GREEN AS HE IS, HE'D PROBABLY DRINK HIS FILL.

THE QUESTION IS,

WHERE DID HE GO AFTER THAT?

IF HE WAS COMING BACK TO MEET US,

WE'D HAVE FOUND HIM.

BEST CASE, HE CRAWLED OFF TO DIE SOMEWHERE.

HOW IS THAT BEST CASE?

BECAUSE IF HE AIN'T DEAD,

IT MEANS HE KEPT GOING.

WITHOUT US.

HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.

I BET HUGH GLASS THOUGHT THE SAME ABOUT YOU.

YOU DON'T SAY THAT AGAIN.

WHY, BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH?

WE'RE FINDING SICKLES.

WE NEED TO FIND WATER FIRST.

SO YOU LEAVE SICKLES BEHIND?

HOW ARE YOU ANY BETTER THAN ME?

BECAUSE GLASS DIDN'T DESERVE WHAT YOU DID TO HIM.

SICKLES MADE HIS OWN CHOICE, FOOL THAT HE IS.

LET HIM PAY THE PRICE.

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

THAT'S SICKLES.

IT CAN'T BE.

IT'S THE MIRROR.

COME ON!

SICKLES.

OH, YOU CAME.

YEAH.

YEAH.

STAND ASIDE, BRIDGER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU REALLY DON'T SEE WHAT'S

HAPPENING HERE, DO YOU?

OUR PAL AMOS, THOUGHT HE FOUND WATER.

BUT HE LEFT US TO DIE.

HE'S RIGHT.

SEEMED CRAZY TO WALK HALF A DAY BACK JUST TO MEET YOU.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE.

THE LEAST I COULD DO WAS

TRY AND MAKE IT OUT OF MYSELF.

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THAT WATER.

SAVE YOUR TEARS, SICKLES.

YOU LEFT US TO DIE.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

NO!

LET GO

YOU WORTHLESS PSYCHO!

YOU THINK WE'RE THE SAME, DON'T YOU?

SICKLES AND ME.

DESERVING DEATH FOR LEAVING FRIENDS TO DIE ALONE?

HMM?

I DO.

NOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHOOT ME,

DO IT.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE OUT OF HERE.

I JUST ASSUME TO MAKE IT QUICK.

DO IT.

DO IT.

HELP ME CARRY SICKLES.

CARRY HIM YOURSELF.

LIFT YOUR GUN, C'MON.

BRIDGER, V/O: WE MARCHED FOR HOURS

THROUGH THAT SCORCHING DESERT.

IT FELT LIKE A NIGHTMARE FROM

WHICH WE COULD NOT WAKE UP.

WE'RE GONNA FIND IT.

SICKLES.

BRIDGER, V/O: EVERY MINUTE THAT WENT BY MADE US WEAKER.

SICKLES WAS GOING TO DIE.

AND I KNEW.

THOUGH, I WOULDN'T BE TOO FAR BEHIND HIM.

I SAW MYSELF, THE WAY THAT MORGAN SAW ME.

AND ALSO HOW HUGH GLASS MUST HAVE SEEN ME.

AND I KNEW THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY OUT OF THIS ALIVE.

STAY THERE.

BRIDGER...

WAIT.

DON'T LEAVE ME.

BRIDGER, DON'T- DON'T LEAVE ME.

BRIDGER, V/O: I WAS DESPERATE TO FIND WATER

BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE.

BUT THEN I DISCOVERED, WELL IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE

FOR POOR ZEB MORGAN.

I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED IF MORGAN SAW THAT PATCH

OF DAMP GROUND BEFORE HE DIED.

BUT TO ME, IT WAS SALVATION.

I KNEW THEN WHY SICKLES HAD TRIED TO LEAVE US BEHIND.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY.

AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TAKE THAT FIRST STEP.

BUT I COULD NEVER LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I DID.

SICKLES!

BRIDGER?

BRIDGER?

BRIDGER, V/O: HUGH GLASS TAUGHT ME

THE HARDEST LESSON OF MY LIFE.

BRIDGER.

BRIDGER, V/O: AND I LIVE BY IT TO THIS VERY DAY.

I GOT WATER.

DRINK.

EASY, EASY.

WELL, LOOK AT THE HERO.

SAVING THAT POOR FELLOW'S LIFE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIM BEHIND ALL THE TROUBLE HE CAUSED TO.

EVERYBODY'S WORTH SAVING.

EVEN YOU.

MAYBE IT'S NOT TOO LATE, JOHN.

COME BACK WITH ME.

GET YOU BACK ON YOUR FEET.

I EVEN HAVE A CHOICE?

OF COURSE.

YOU HAVE TWO.

YOU CAN COME WITH ME.

OR YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK WITH THE LYNCH MOD.

ALL RIGHT, BRIDGER.

PARTNERS AGAIN.

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

BETTER THAN OLD TIMES.

CAPTAIN, IF WE LEAVE NOW, WE CAN MAKE

THE NEXT CAMP BY NIGHT FALL.

YOU DO IT AND I BLEED HIM.

LET HIM GO.

I DON'T NEED TO BE SAVED, BRIDGER.

I SEE YOU AGAIN...

I'LL KILL YOU.

CAPTAIN!

CAN'T JUST LET HIM GO.

WE WON'T BE SEEING HIM AROUND HERE AGAIN.

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

I MADE MYSELF A PROMISE.

THAT I WOULD ALWAYS TRY TO DO RIGHT BY OTHERS.

WELL, THAT'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND FITZGERALD.

HE'S JUST GONNA KEEP RUNNING.

WHAT HE DOESN'T REALIZE IS THE ONLY PERSON

THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND,

WELL, THAT'S YOURSELF.
