Ribbit!

It worked the other day.

Why won't she laugh?

Ribbit!

Jacob...

Look what you did.

We'll be in to do the shopping.

Okay, bye!

Bye! Bye!

- Jacob... - Just one more time.

- Ribbit! - Go now.

Go!

- Go, go, go! - Ribbit!

Marta forgot to wake me.

Emil, English.

- You're in early. - Ah.

It's been a long morning.

My Arne caused some real problems this morning, you know.

He got out of bed like a freight train.

You see that dog on your way in?

Nope.

Heat must have gotten it.

Drought's made things hard, but...

Nothing we ain't been through before.

Well, hell. At least that fire's not down here.

Sheriff Hansen! Sheriff Hansen!

Sheriff Hansen!

There's a dead body.

Dead body?

My pa found a dead body behind the beehive.

Come on, you need to come now!

Alright. Dead body.

Yeah!

Whoo!

That was not funny.

Oh! Come on!

Hurry up!

- Morning, Meyer! - Hey.

Back there, there's a young fella dead.

I don't know who. Tramp, maybe.

Looks like he was in the war.

It's been five years.

Someone ought to tell them that the battle's over.

I'm sorry, Sheriff. I...

I know you been through it, but it's the truth.

- What you got there, Bits? - The circus.

- Is it coming here? - Yes.

- Well, let me see. - No.

Bits, give it to me!

- No! - All right, damn it.

Get off him.

Man needs to work.

Would you mind looking after my bike for me?

Go bother your brothers.

Lord, bless this poor soul. Forgive him his sins.

Forgive all of us, and receive him in thy Kingdom.

Remove from this man the calamity of war.

May he rest in tranquility,

for there is nothing left to make him afraid.

Oh God, please hasten the time

when the reign of peace shall come, and war shall cease

to the ends of the earth.

Oh!

I don't know why they gotta come here.

There's no work for them.

Betcha I'll load up the gun with rock salt tonight, sure.

Any problems with the colony?

Nope, pretty quiet lately.

Meyer...

His pockets were turned out.

Someone robbed that man of what little he had.

- You didn't touch him? - No, sir.

I wanted nothing to do with him.

I love you!

Miss?

You're my Lord, my Savior!

Miss?

Sheriff here. Everything alright?

She's from the colony. One of Chase's women.

She seems confused. Or lost.

She keeps asking for Brother Chase.

We should get her back to him.

Shh.

And the man's a soldier.

Meyer said he didn't touch him, but... I think he robbed him.

Hm.

What happened to your hand?

Hm.

- Which one is he? - Sir?

Are you Marcus or Thaddeus? I can never tell you two apart.

I'm Thaddeus. I'm the one with the scar.

Thaddeus, do you think you're strong enough

to help Jacob bring the other fellow in?

- Yes, sir. - Hm.

Thaddeus, come on.

- Put him down. - Here?

Put him down on the floor, now.

What is it?

Open that curtain.

What is it?

Take him to your office.

And don't touch anything. And you wash up good after.

Go on.

Keep your hands up.

Thaddeus, don't do it!

Don't pick your nose.

Don't!

Was my ma down there?

She was.

Did you put her blood out?

I did.

Thaddeus?

What are you doing? Go on.

The man you found, the one in your cellar...

You said his pockets were turned out?

Well, I don't think Old Meyer killed him.

He's had some money problems since his wife passed but

he's no murderer.

Did he touch him? Alright, get him in the ground.

Don't dress him out. Don't bleed him.

- He's a soldier. - Jacob...

I'm not asking.

What is it?

If I'm right...

Diphtheria.

We can leave.

We'll take what we need and go to Aunt Bette's.

I can't. You know that.

I'll just take Amelia then.

You can say it's a visit.

How would that look?

I don't care how it looks.

I care about our daughter.

You and Amelia just stay inside.

What if you get it?

- I won't. - What if it spreads?

I won't let it.

Marta...

You protect them.

You love them. You love them.

Of course you love them. Of course you...

How cold you can be, even with your own.

Faith will always... Faith will always save you.

Faith...

Save you. A soldier. A fellow soldier.

You buttoned the sleeves,

so they don't see. They can't see.

My error remains within myself.

They know not what you've done. They've done nothing.

What's that?

You think the woman's better today?

Mm-hmm.

- Is she one of Chase's? - Think so.

I'll a...

I'll go out to the colony and speak with him.

Be careful.

That whole place could be diseased, the way they live.

- Please don't talk like that. - Well, it's true.

No, I was... I was being silly last night.

Being a silly chicken.

We'll be fine.

We'll be fine.

We'll stay inside.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Just stop by Fenton's for me.

You were there yesterday.

No, I wasn't.

Lydia needs to be at home.

You cannot touch her. Deacon please.

I've already explained to Reverend Chase--

It's Brother Chase.

And I'm aware of the consequences.

We have not two but three certified nurses among us.

Let us take care of her.

I'm sorry, it's too contagious.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me lie in green pastures.

Deal with my soul.

Though I walk through the valley of death--

Stop, no. Stop!

I fear no evil, for I am with you, says the Lord.

Don't let her... Don't let her die like this, please!

Let her see a face she knows. I won't touch her.

Man's an idiot. Chase and his women.

He can bawl all he wants.

He thinks God can protect them from this.

- What does he know? - Well, he's...

He's just trying to do the best for his flock.

Is that what he calls them?

Is there anything you can give her?

I'm... I'm trying.

That's Emil's boy again.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey! Stop, stop!

Sheriff.

You alright there, Cy?

Your pa know you're down here?

I'll be sure to tell him.

Get out of here. Come on!

What you got there, Cy?

They said I...

They said I would get eaten, Sheriff.

They said they let them animals loose

and if you can't run fast, they get you.

I'll tell you what.

- Why don't we go together? - To the circus?

Mm-hmm.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

- The circus is coming here? - Mm-hmm.

- With animals and everything? - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I'd like to see it.

You think it would be too scary for Amelia?

- What? - She's asleep.

Shh.

Jacob, shh! How do we get her into bed?

- Shh, you're gonna wake her up. - That's funny.

She can't sleep under the table, Jacob!

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh.

Somebody's dog is lying dead up on the road, by the well.

Did you see it?

No.

Chase's woman had a rough night.

Lydia.

We should start taking some precautions.

No.

Not yet.

You tell your wife?

Irma's still in Chicago.

I told her to stay put until this blows over.

Until this blows over.

I've been robbed!

My damn store's been robbed!

Someone stole my knife.

Took it right from me.

Only one's been in today been one of Chase's women.

And Harlow brought a wire.

But he wasn't here more than a minute

and right beside me the whole time.

How long has it been missing?

Can't remember when I last checked for it.

What color was it?

Pearl with a black inlay. Best I carry.

Had an "M" inscribed on it.

I'll keep an eye out.

Something you need?

- Marta asked I do the shopping. - Might do it now.

While it's quiet.

Jakob.

Marta likes the other one.

Jakob's your real name, right?

Does anyone in town know that?

I could tell them.

You see, I had a Jakob in my regiment. He was a proud man.

He kept his name.

You don't know me. Don't. Don't.

You don't know me. Don't know me.

You don't know me. Don't know me.

You don't know me. You don't, don't, don't.

This isn't enough.

I can go back tomorrow.

- I can go. - No.

How long do we have to stay inside? Jacob!

Not long.

Shh.

How long?

- Jacob, where are you going? - Go back inside.

Go back inside! Now!

Ho!

Ho!

Lord, in your mercy...

It has to be real.

Have mercy.

What was that about?

Thieves. Chase.

You know, Fenton's always going on about something.

Yeah.

- Anything I should know about? - Nothing out of the ordinary.

I mean, it could stand to rain.

The way it's been so hot

people are fretting about that wildfire up North.

And don't think it's headed our way.

The wind never really picks up here.

Let's bring the fire brigade in.

John Henry and his men.

Have a line ready in case.

- Jacob, that fire's moving west. - I won't risk it. Bring them in.

Yes, Sheriff.

- Your girls out of town? - Excuse me?

Marta's Aunt Bette sent all those wires about a visit.

And I haven't seen Marta and the baby in a while.

Ah, yeah.

Sheriff! Sheriff!

- Morning, Cy. - Sheriff?

Old Meyer's shed caught fire.

I saw it when I came in from the bell tower.

I...

I can even see it now.

Goddamn!

Stupid mother...

Ow!

Oh God!

You're Marcus? Where's your brother?

- He's sick. - Thaddeus has taken sick?

Oh, ain't that the way.

Never around when you need them.

What's... What's wrong with him?

I don't know. Says his throat hurts him.

Won't eat anything. Won't take a drink. Nothing.

- And Bitsi? - One gets sick, they all do.

You know how that goes.

They're young, though. They bounce back quick.

That's nature's way of toughening us up.

It's like Abraham.

No. No.

It's Job.

It's Job.

No, no, no. I may have...

Yeah, no. I may have...

I may have mixed that up here.

You know last week's sermon...

You said it.

Marta? Marta...

You were right. Just take Amelia and leave.

Go tonight.

I'll wire Aunt Bette, let her know you're coming.

She's sick.

What?

She's sick.

You didn't tell Old Meyer anything, did you?

No.

And he's been sick three days?

Jacob?

Yeah. And Bitsi.

And Chase's woman passed when you were gone.

Lydia. Call her Lydia.

Chase was here when it happened.

He went to get her something to wear.

I thought you didn't want me dressing people out?

I don't. But he won't listen.

So throw whatever it is away, and get her in the ground.

- Deacon? - Brother Chase.

Let me dress her and let us have her home.

Please.

I'm sorry, I can't.

- I'm not here to cause trouble. - I know that.

So let me, Deacon.

She was a good person.

- I know she was-- - You didn't know her.

- You're not from here. - What has that got to--

You know what it is to be alone. You know the fear,

of dying that way of,

no one knowing you were ever here.

Do what's right, Deacon.

Please.

Jacob!

Jacob!

Don't worry, I'll hold her still.

You see Thaddeus and Bitsi?

Yeah, saw them both.

Just have to wait and see.

Did Chase give you any trouble?

No.

Is Meyer gonna put up a quarantine sign or you...

You want me to?

I asked him not to.

We'll just say it's chickenpox.

Jacob...

We can't risk anyone leaving.

I'd rather keep it here.

And if it gets worse, we can close off the town.

Quarantine the whole place.

That's what they did in St. Joe.

It worked?

It didn't spread.

Marta! What are you doing? Flip her over!

Marta, get her on her belly! Jesus.

Amelia?

Can you open your mouth? Ahhh. Yeah.

Ahhh.

Can you open your mouth?

Can you open your mouth?

Like that.

Yes, that's it. That's it.

And there you go. Yes.

Shh.

Shh.

She has what is called a thrush

in the back of her throat.

And...

Is there something... Something she can take?

What... What you gave her for the colic?

Can... Can she take that, or...?

Jacob.

I'm sorry.

Now, there is something I have.

When it was my Elizabeth, I gave it to her to make it go faster.

Whatever it is, they've all got it!

- We need to call a quarantine. - No.

- I'm calling a quarantine. - No.

I'm going tell Cyril to ring them out.

No, don't worry about that.

- I decide now! - Jacob, Jacob...

People are dying here.

And many more people will die when they flee.

If you call a quarantine, and Cyril rings out the dead,

people will panic.

One person. That's all it takes to spread this into every town.

I cannot allow us to be so irresponsible.

What about my congregation? I have service tomorrow.

What am I supposed to I tell them?

Nothing.

- You expect me to lie? - Yes.

I can take her.

She's not so warm anymore.

Her mother's daughter.

There's some of you in there too.

No.

There's not.

We all have a soul.

A soul as well as a body, and...

While our bodies might toil for a short time on this earth...

Our souls might live forever.

Forever in God's arms.

And it is of little importance whether you're in poverty

or greatest affluence, whether your body is

sickly or in health,

pained or at ease.

Whether you're respected or despised.

Because we know that death is certain.

It comes to us all.

And in your dying moments, if you call the world your own...

What good would it do you?

What, what comfort would it afford your soul?

And it is your soul's path that must be your only real concern.

The companion of angels and saints made perfect

around the throne of God.

Or doomed, wailing demons and damned spirits in Hell.

We must escape his wrath

to secure an inheritance among the saints in the light.

So let us turn to God.

Let us lift our hearts to him.

The hour is coming in which all shall hear his voice.

Let us ask him.

Dear Lord...

What must we do to be saved?

Cy, Arne's got something to say to you.

I'm sorry.

Jacob's taking me to the circus.

Oh, that true?

Well, how about that.

Arne, go back to playing.

And take Cy with you.

Do it now.

Marta and Amelia stayed back this morning?

You know,

Mary's really been wanting to see your girls, and...

Marta usually calls by a few times. They...

They okay?

Emil, Mary and your boys...

I can barely hear what you're saying.

I want her to breathe.

I just want her to breathe.

What happened?

Why is Cyril ringing them out?

We need to quarantine now.

The whole town. No one in, no one out.

It's a damn shame they brought the fire brigade in.

I'll wire Bart, have him come meet me to close the border.

And I can see what Chase is thinking.

I already spoke with him.

He got word of this fire,

and he's convinced them all it's the end times.

You think this is enough?

Well, should do.

Appreciate it, Bart.

How bad is it, Jake?

I heard Cyril ringing away this morning.

Nothing we can't handle.

- And how's old Doc holding out? - He's alright.

Just a little busy.

And you, Jake?

How are your girls?

They're fine.

Don't think this will get us.

But this fire has my people all riled up.

Running around like a bunch of dumb hens.

Half my town has cleared out

and the other half stocked up on buckets.

- I thought it was headed west. - Not that I heard.

- What's that? - Oh...

- Got plenty. - Could always use another.

That's true.

It is true.

How's Amelia?

I got it.

Meyer?

Meyer, it's Jacob.

Bitsi?

Meyer?

Meyer?

It's Jacob.

Don't be alarmed all right?

I, I, I just want to see how you're getting on.

Meyer?

Thaddeus!

Thaddeus, can you hear me?

Sarah and her boys just up here?

Oh, I need to...

Just need to tend to the dog.

Do it after.

Faith will always save you.

No.

Faith will always save you.

No.

No.

No, it's a question.

You don't want to be, because

you don't deserve to be.

- I understand you're upset. - Are we trapped in here?

Bart's got some crazy kid with a gun blocking the road.

- Doc's gonna tell us-- - He said,

you're in charge.

This is all because of that damn Chase

and his diseased people that you let stay.

This has nothing to do with Chase.

I'll tell everyone. The horse.

That soldier.

I see you got Marta and your little Amelia

all nice and cared for.

Taking no chances with them.

This isn't the war, Jacob.

You don't get to decide who lives and--

Out!

Get out!

What's all this about...

A kid with a gun at the border?

The fire's shifted.

It's headed straight for us.

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!

You Jacob?

All quiet?

Yes, sir. All quiet.

Bart said that you're a real hero,

no matter what people say.

Is that your bike?

That your gun? I don't want you shooting anyone.

If it comes to it, you shoot into the air.

- But Bart said-- - Listen to me...

You are not to shoot anyone.

Understand?

Oh my gosh...

Oh my, Oh my gosh! Whoa!

Oh my gosh!

Whoa!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

The name's Professor Sylvester K. McCoffer.

What seems to be the problem?

Quarantine, you can't come in.

- What do you got? - Diphtheria.

Well...

All we wanna do is pass on through.

We won't so much as step down, any of us.

We could do it at a trot.

- Won't be for five minutes. - No, you're gonna have--

We need to be in Montello, no two ways about it.

We'll be out before you can blink.

- How much is it gonna be? - You have to listen!

- Huh? Five ones? One five? - You're gonna have to--

Going south's gonna take us way out of our way. Yes, my angel.

Get on with last week's disaster. Daddy has to talk now.

People are dying here. You wanna be one of them?

Come on in.

Millard, put the gun down.

Millard!

You're not listening to me. You have to listen.

You're not listening to me.

You have to listen.

You're not listening to me! You have to listen!

Shh.

How come you're not sick?

It's you.

It has to be you.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

Jacob!

I want my daughter!

Give me my daughter!

It was real. It was real.

It has to be real. Has to be real.

How did Emil get out?

How the hell did they know?

Don't touch that. They may have been sick.

- They weren't. - Jacob...

- They weren't sick. - How do you know?

Jacob?

You don't know me.

You don't know me.

You don't know me!

Don't... Don't... Don't... Don't... Don't.

Don't.

You don't know me.

Marta?

Jacob?

Jacob?

Damn it, Jacob! It's me.

Jacob, it's me.

I don't know. I thought...

Jacob, where are your girls?

Where are they?

Look, the fire line didn't hold.

And Bart wired. Someone escaped.

Alright?

You told Millard not to shoot.

And the man, he...

He whipped Millard's eye out.

But we need to get people out.

Please.

There's a train still coming through.

Freight's coming in at three still, so I...

I'm going to get the healthy out on it.

You can't save everyone, Jacob.

That's not your job here.

- Don't put that on yourself. - I won't.

I'm sorry I can't help you anymore.

I can, I can come back and check in on you.

There's nothing you can do for me.

I can let you know what crazy old Chase is up to.

You have something for us?

Fire's coming.

Yes, we know.

I'm taking the train out of town

with everyone who's not sick.

Everyone who is not sick?

How about those who are?

There's nothing I can do for them.

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid it's come too late for us.

No, there's still time.

The freight's coming in at three, so--

It's not that. I'm afraid all of us...

We're all similarly afflicted.

So what are you going to do?

Father, I abandon myself into your hands.

Do what you will with me.

Whatever you may do, I thank you.

I'm ready for all.

I accept all.

Let only your will be done in me,

and all your creatures.

I wish no more than this, oh Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul.

I offer it to you with all the love of my heart.

- For I love you, Lord. - I love you, Lord.

And so need to give myself...

And so need to give myself...

Abandon myself into your hands without reserve.

Abandon myself into your hands without reserve.

You are my father.

You are my father.

You are a father to the fatherless.

You are a father to the fatherless.

- Forgive our sins, Lord. - Forgive our sins.

Get behind me.

Just what the hell is all this?

Be obliged if you could ride us to Shawano.

Sign back at the tunnel says

I'm not supposed to take on riders.

I posted that sign.

Look, none of these people are sick. I can vouch for them.

They can all fit in a boxcar.

Whole thing won't take five minutes.

You won't even have to look at them.

What's he doing?

Jacob?

What are you doing?

Cy, Cy, Cy...

Why did you stop? Get back here! You need to keep driving!

Bart?

Quarantine all done with, Jake?

Yes.

I thought you said another week.

We left the sick behind.

I can vouch for everyone here.

You know I can't let you through.

None of these people are sick.

I can't risk it.

What'd you do with the rest? My people who came on their own?

All I could do. Sent them back.

Caught Emil's family hiding in a damn basement.

Where are they?

Where are they?!

Bart, I don't have time for this.

You have to let us through!

You know I can't let your people into my town.

Please, Bart.

I can't.

- Back! - Cyril!

- Shut up and get back in there. - We can't go back.

- Get back before I shoot you. - Bart, leave him.

- Get back in there! - Cy?

Go back in the boxcar. Get back in the boxcar.

Get your gun off him, Bart. Get your gun off him!

Harlow! Harlow!

Harlow!

Harlow!

Take Cyril and run. Take him and run!

Jacob!

Cy!

Come on! Cy!

Come on. We need to run.

We need to run!

It's you.

It has to be you.

A fallen soldier.

The marks.

You stripped the meat off.

Take me, then.

Take me.

You don't mean it.

You don't.

Don't lie,

you like it this way.

Alone.

With no one else.

A pariah wants to belong.

You don't know me.

You don't know me.

You don't...

You don't know me.

You don't.

You don't know me.

You don't know me.

You don't know me.
