Original subtitles

We have been caught in the mountains for over a month.

The Donner family is 10 km away near the basin.

Everyone else is scattered along the track and have sought shelter in abandoned cabins.

All the animals are either dead or eaten.

Everyone is mostly out of food.

Under such circumstances giving up some of their obligations.

But that said, I'm stuck decided to take care of my family.

In one way or another.

December 1846 Sierra Nevada mountain range

Have you tracked several prey? Here should be plenty.

There is more meat to be worn down, but here is no more.

Are you sure? "I have been out for fourteen days.

There are no more prey animals. I would suggest you ration it.

- I take half to my family. - It's just fair, mr. Eddy.

Half to the hunter and half to me to put a rifle on.

Keep your mood up, The rescue expedition will be coming soon.

William, that's Mr. Fetus.

What do you think he wants?

He wants meat.

Ask him within.

Good day.

Good day.

Thanks.

Good day mr Eddy.

I do not quite know why you chose to live here for yourself.

But we have made the cabin so enjoyable as possible.

It's quite nice and you are all very welcome to visit us.

Thanks, mr. Fetus, but we are well here.

Well, that's good for you.

However, I regret having to say,

- that at last, we have not had it so well.

The meat disappeared quite quickly.

Have you seen more prey?

No mr Fetus.

Mr. Eddy, I employed you as a leader of the expedition to a good rental.

I am a christian.

You are also. And as Christians we have a duty-

- to take care of our fellow human beings in the same way as for ourselves.

- I just asked you to rationalize ... - We did.

I have far more mouth to saturate than they.

Could you refuse them the right to live? Could you play such an unfair god?

Your word is aimed at the wrong one.

I beg you, share your meat with us.

Then I will triple your rent-

- when we come to california It is enough for a large piece of land.

- A pretty big piece of land. - No.

No?

I think we should ...

- They should not speak to my wife. - It's a very generous offer.

I only give you the offer this one time.

Mr. Foster, I'm sorry to inform you-

-If I'm no longer employed by you.

And I'm sorry you got me persuaded to take this route.

I did not do it. All chosen by own free will to take Hastings shortcut.

How could we know that was a scam?

If we continue this conversation, I get angry.

I have to ask you to go.

They judge all of us to perdition.

- Go. - Well.

But I have to take my gun in my possession again.

A gun you can not handle?

Mr. Eddy ...

I wish you a good day.

It's only a little longer.

- How do you know, it's our trail? - We must go on.

Mr. Graves, Will you lead the prayer?

Maybe mr. Fosdick wanted it tonight?

Mr. Fosdick.

We thank you, Lord for your gifts.

And ask you to protect those who are heading over the mountains to save us.

We pray for our families and all others stuck in these mountains.

- We beg you to punish the wretchedness ... - Amen.

- We ... - Amen.

We ask you to punish the wretchedness, to Hastings ...

- That's enough. - That led us to the wrong track.

Amen.

Thanks, mr. Fetus. Let us eat.

Mr. McCutchon.

Amanda?

Where is my Amanda?

How should we be able to live on this?

We have a whole bear out there. I want more food.

Here is your mother.

If we rationalize the meat, we manage through the winter.

We do not need my husband to come with a rescue puzzle and animal.

- What if Milt does not come back? - William!

Please do not say that kind of thing.

I beg you...

Your husband-

- asked me to take care of you, until he returns.

So we rationalize the meat.

Thank you for that.

- Do I have to ask something for my men? - Of course.

Just a moment.

We do not have enough for God and everybody.

These men are here to help.

Give them a little, my friend.

Does that mean we're saved? Are you here to save us?

He does not speak English.

Mr. Stanton, we supposed everyone-

- to the rescue team come with supplies,

because, as you see, we have almost nothing.

When will the rescue team come? They would organize in California?

Will there be others?

We just pray about the truth, nothing else.

There are hard times in California.

In the south a bloody war is being fought against the Mexicans.

All fast and messy men have been sent down there to fight.

I was having trouble collecting only a group.

The first snow fell inexorably for 13 days, so everyone returned.

- You say, the military is not coming? - They are busy with the war against Mexico.

But others are doing well for a rescue expedition?

Mr. Stanton?

We must manage ourselves.

We can not do without food.

There is a bargain depot three day trips from here.

I want to get away from here.

We must have meat for the journey first.

Mr. Eddy has the only meat that is, and he refuses to share.

I have to help Melt back to him wife, will you accompany me, mr. Graves?

- I'm talking to Mr.. Eddy. - Well.

Lord, have mercy upon us, Christ pity you over us.

Lord our Father pity you over us.

Save his soul from hell's gates, may he rest in peace

Amen.

- We must talk. - It's good to see you're alive.

Are you in good health?

They form a group, There is going to California.

I need you.

- I have to take care of my own. - They do not come and save us.

- Why not? "There are hard times in California.

The earth is fertile and the weather Comfortable, but everything is about war.

Nothing is, as Hastings said.

The bandage be him.

There is a bargain depot some day marches from here.

Enough to get to California.

And fetus? I have had enough of him.

When we arrive, we use his money to a rescue expedition.

That will mean I have to leave my wife and my son.

But...

I need you.

- Where is Amanda? - At Milt's grave.

I do not understand, why we can not come along?

- It's better you stay. - I do not want to stay.

You are safe in Donner's cabin, there are thirteen of them there.

The Kesselberg family lives there, I do not trust the Germans.

You do as it is said. You have to think about the boy.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You control the meat.

You are the only one who knows how much we have.

Whatever happens, make sure you that you and the boy are getting food.

I do not want you to go.

I'll be back after you.

I'll be back, If that's the last thing I do.

Before we start the journey, I would like to say to you as a group ...

That I am proud to be together with each of you.

We have maintained a certain order.

It has been a civilized order.

And therefore...

I want to put my life at risk, if necessary-

-for each and every one of you.

I therefore report humbly-

-The captain of this expedition.

It is very important to establish clear leadership.

Thanks, mr. Graves.

I will ask my wife to say a prayer, That can guide us.

Please, Sarah.

Our dear Father in heaven.

We are in total in gratefulness for all that you have given us.

We ask you to help us on our journey.

And take care of our goals.

Father, protect everyone here in the camp.

Keep your hope up, till we come back to them.

Bless us all with strength.

Because even our countrymen In California, we have forsaken

-we are "the only hope".

Amen.

Fire.

Drink this, even if you are not thirsty.

- We are camping here tonight. - Are you saying we will stop here?

We still have the strength, we have to go on.

It's a great place to beat camp.

There is wood for burning and shelter.

- They look bad, are you good? "I have to rest a little.

I'll probably get over it.

Use the flint here for the fire, we have to save on the matches.

Thanks, mr. Stanton.

Jay.

We wait until we have spoken for a prayer prayer.

We have left our beautiful home, but it's worth the trip.

California, the land of happiness, the future of the future.

And here we are, here is more snow, than I thought, but ...

This is where we are going to build a family.

- Do you feel strong? - I am very tired.

We reach the custody depot of two days, we should all eat.

You know I love you.

Continue.

I said go!

Katawhew.

I'm right behind you, Louis.

The only one who knows where to go, can not join the group.

Miss McCutchon, it is very important...

That we what, Mr. Foster?

What should we do? He can not indicate.

He said we would have more food today.

- It's important that we ... - I've been silent.

But he said it would take three days.

And in all respect, I would prefer that you call me mrs. McCutchon.

Mrs. McCutchon, you're right. He said three days if we went quickly.

We have very little food left.

We arrive at the store tomorrow, and then we enter California.

Is there anyone who wakes up mr. Stanton, so I can give him his food?

I think it's important, that we leave Mr. Stanton rests.

Tomorrow we have plenty of food.

Good morning, mr. Stanton. Good morning.

I have a few questions.

The others are worried.

It has been four days.

And they want to know and I will also

When do we arrive

-to the store

There is no.

- What? - That was the only way ...

To make you leave the camp.

What?

We have to go back, There is no other resort.

Back to what? There is only more hunger waiting.

- That's something. - It's our only option.

- Here's nothing to eat. - A rescue team may be on its way.

- We're going back. - I do not want to go back.

- You are my wife, you do, as I say. - Do not talk to my daughter like that.

Mr. Fosdick ... Mr. Graves.

- Do not interfere. - God help you, you lied to us!

I did not get the correct information.

Let's take a moment for a personal one prayer.

Please pray a silent prayer with me.

Amen.

I have decided, as the captain of the expedition-

that we must continue

- Do it, I'm going back with my wife. You do not take my daughter!

"We'll go together. - Stop it!

Like mr Foster said, we will continue in a row.

If we go back, how will it affect the others?

They lose all hope.

Are you going back, you die all?

We continue, we continue together

We have to try.

Let's gather our things.

Ann.

- What is it? - Let's return before it's too late.

- I do not want to hear more about it, kid. - I'm not a kid.

I'm a man, it's time, You treat me like one.

You have a child's sense and if I I have to make it up to you.

- Sheep... - No, now you're listening to me.

If I hear you say a word more to return-

- Should I arrange you like a man? Is that understood?

Do you understand me?

Do not be daddy!

Do you understand me? Are you listening?

Do you? Have you heard what I'm saying?

I want to hear you say that. Do you hear!

My girls are going to California, What I saw than has to do.

Stop, Dad.

I beg you.

I know that you have.

I brought you along to this god-abandoned place.

I hesitate to say this, but we are in serious danger.

"We have to go west, right?" - Yes.

But that's not the only problem.

We have food for a day more.

And...

To all of us.

And then I do not know what to do.

I do not know.

Thats it. That was the last of the meat.

Maybe, Mr. Graves will ... - I thought we had four days.

Quietly...

I think you should know I do not blame you what you did.

William, listen carefully.

Continue west. Once you crossed the mountains-

- Are you coming to a deep bed. You have to cross it.

When you are on the other hand, the track is easier to follow.

And if you look good, you can see the crop in the Sacramento Valley.

You are in fourteen days.

I hope you come to you.

See you, William.

Take it here. I do not need for it it's too hot for me.

Mary, if I had ...

- Follow, Mary. - Yes, Dad.

Forget it.

I'll tell you that in California.

Go, obey your father.

- See you soon? - Yes, we do.

Where is mr Stanton?

Mr. Stanton may have gone away.

Maybe we should go back ...

... and make it necessary.

We have to get food, otherwise none of us can handle it.

Yes.

Yes.

I do something.

Mr. Eddy, it's clear, that we go backwards.

- No, we do not. - I ask you to consider this.

The man sitting there is one of them-

-Looking us when we realized our distress.

- Before, mr. Foster, I beg you. "You and I like to do that.

But we do not know the way, and he led us into a trap.

We can not trust him, what should we do?

We go and go and go all the way to California.

- Until we're dead, mr. Eddy. - Put your legs in motion.

We have nothing to eat.

If the accident will, that one of us goes away-

Can we save the living?

You can take me if I die.

- I agree. - I volunteer.

Then I might reunite with my wife

She has been dead for a long time, but gave me my beautiful daughters.

We all end up in hell.

Mrs. McCutchon, do not talk about hell Under these circumstances.

What about you, mr. Fetus? Is our humble leader ready to die?

I mean, a man should die standing.

I suggest you and I fight to death.

And the loser dies like a man and breadfood group.

If in this situation you have energy enough for such a challenge-

- may you share what you've hidden? in your backpack, with the rest?

- What are you suggesting? - There is only a fair way.

Mr. Fetus...

We draw lots, the one who pulls it shortest stick, sacrifices for the group.

"My girls should not sacrifice. "It's only about the gentlemen.

- I do not participate. - Mr. Eddy, your participation ...

And it does not make the Indians either.

Mrs. McCutchon, hold the pins.

Yes.

Bend your heads.

You can see now, I'm ready.

- Who first? "I'm the oldest I'm pulling first.

God be praised.

Come on, Jay.

You pull, Dolan.

Mr. Fosdick, They have to put something in the pot.

I have done that.

No, you have to put something in the pot.

Do you call me a liar?

No, I'm just saying, that you must make your contribution to the pot.

Thanks, mr. Graves.

Take care what you call me.

What you did was wrong. And their Money makes no difference to me.

All...

All here-

-me make their contribution to the pot

I can feel that we die soon.

Maybe.

Wake up, kid!

My daughters must have food otherwise they die.

"I'll probably be. - You must behave like a man.

No, I promise ... no, oh God.

Mr. Fosdick, will you lead us in prayer?

Master...

We...

- Amen. - Thanks.

Good morning, mr. Eddy. Where is mr Louis?

He is gone.

- Where is he? - He is gone.

Where has he disappeared?

I do not know.

The heath has led us on the road.

- The heathen was our guide. - Decisions, Mr. Eddy, decisions.

I know you do not have more meat.

They are killing us, mr. Eddy, They are killing us.

They have to eat something here.

Here.

Eat it.

Chew.

Eat it.

No, Jay.

Did anything happen to you?

You have to get up.

Nothing has happened.

Thanks.

We are camping here.

The tracks here are fresh.

It is Mr. Louis' track.

If we let him get away, we all kill everyone here.

He is a human being.

- They are getting mad. - I need my gun.

This is myth.

Do you shoot me, you kill the only-

- it's willing to do that There is a need to save the group.

They kill yourself, They kill everyone we left in the camp.

They kill your wife. Their child. Your blood will glory on your hands.

On your hands.

"It's over and over. - Excellent.

I see you are suffering a lot of pain.

That you bother.

I can help you with ...

- With the gun. - Mr. Fetus!

Mr. Fetus!

Thanks.

I saw fresh deer trails.

- Is it far away? - I do not know I'm detecting it.

Mr. Foster, I am strong, I go with him.

- Do you use to pray? - Yes.

So pray now.

Wake up!

Jay?

No. Jay?

You can not leave me.

He's dead, my friend. - No, we're gonna die together.

Here, tie it.

You can pick it up, There is left of the flesh.

- We should take care of now. - I'm not going back.

I come much faster on my own.

You can find back.

Mr. Eddy!

I'm very sorry, mrs. Fosdick.

They do not get him.

They do not get him.

I do not want you to go.

I'll be back after you.

I'll be back.

I can not do it without you.

William Eddy's wife and child did not survive the winter.

They were only eight kilometers from civilization.
