A long time ago, it is said, a monster came here.

There it is.

Sarii.

Circle back.

I remember when Father told me I was ready for the trial.

My big hunt.

You were little. So, Mother took you to gather medicine.

Father and I, we went up into the hills.

The rain was bad. Everything was wet.

We crawled through the mud and my bowstring

broke and...

You were sleeping.

I was waiting for it to come back.

Now you're gonna have to get it.

Whoa.

Don't get it wet.

Taabe,

this morning in the sky,

I saw a sign. The thunderbird.

I'm ready to do it.

Haa, I'm ready for my trial.

You're ready…

to hunt something that's hunting you?

Fetch.

- You did well. - He's smart.

Not every smart creature can learn.

Is that for the chief's bad knee?

He's getting worse.

There's no orange flower in here.

How do you know about it?

You.

Hmm.

Your father gave you that to cut with, right?

Almost got a deer with it.

We can't eat "almost."

My girl, you are good at so many other things.

Why do you hunt?

Because you all think that I'll fail.

Ah!

Yüü, it's windy and he brings home a red-tail.

You should have listened to me.

We're not asleep.

Crazy.

That's enough.

Bring me all the flowers.

Itsee.

- What's going on? - A lion. It took Puhi.

We're searching for him.

You could get shot sneaking up like that.

Who's sneaking?

Who invited you?

We won't need a cook.

She should come with us.

She tracks well.

After we find Puhi, she can doctor him.

You find that cat.

- I will. - I know it.

'Cause you have to.

Oh, good. The dog found shit.

- We're not looking for wolves. - It's not wolf.

You see that bone?

That's lion scat.

The cat that made it was big.

He's breathing.

Fetch.

Maybe it will kill him.

It won't kill him. Just cool his blood.

Ouch. Ouch.

Taabe wants to hunt.

Let's go.

- I'm coming. - I can handle the cat.

No, it's not the cat.

Why is Puhi still here? Something scared the cat.

I've got this.

Stay with Puhi. Help him.

No talking. Let's take him home.

Hurry up!

I'm cold.

Stand still.

No.

The cold is good.

The medicine slows his blood.

Hey.

Do you want him to be dead or alive?

Go!

We're not waiting for you.

- Look. - Could be bear tracks.

Maybe.

But that's a big bear.

Why was it on its hind legs? What skins a snake like that?

- We need to move. - No.

I have to tell my brother.

Paaka, go with her.

Naru, we don't need the torches. They'll scare the cat.

We're in its hunting grounds.

Why'd you come back?

I found tracks, and they were huge.

I'm not frightened by a bear.

I don't think it was a bear.

I don't know what it was. I've never seen anything like that.

The way it killed a snake.

Well, whatever it was, we're here now.

We have to deal with it.

Come on.

While the cat is hunting us…

…we'll be hunting it.

We'll set a trap, climb up, then wait for it.

A hunter doesn't wait. He hunts. We could be here all night.

We could hunt all night and not find anything too.

If you're too afraid, then go back to camp.

Do it Naru's way.

We'll bait it, then I'll lead the cat to you.

Wait.

All right, Naru.

Your trial.

When it comes, you tell it,

"This is as far as you go.

No more. This is it."

You're too scared. You can't do it.

Are you ready?

You've never faced a cat.

Its mouth full of teeth like arrows

to tear your flesh and break your bones.

When your brother comes back, he and I will find the cat

and kill it.

Your brother brought you home.

Wha... What about the cat?

Taabe went after it.

I have to search for him.

No, you lie down.

Here.

Drink this tea.

Here!

Puhi is here because of your medicine.

There's something else out there. Taabe needs my help.

If your brother needed you, he wouldn't have brought you back here.

Your trial is not just to hunt.

There's only one reason.

To survive.

Taabe comes! Taabe comes!

- Naru. - War Chief.

Naru.

Where are you going?

We did it.

No.

We didn't do it.

What do you think made those tracks and skinned that snake?

And before I fell,

- I saw red lights in the trees. - Naru.

- There's something else out there. - And I'm going.

We need to return there,

- going that way. - No.

- Well, I'll hunt alone. - You can't.

- Do I need your permission, Chief? - It's not about permission.

You can't.

I saved you.

I'm hunting it.

You're right.

We didn't do it.

I did.

You tried. You just…

You couldn't bring it.

If they don't see,

then show them.

Come.

Next time, you're cooking.

Come.

Come with me.

Let's go find whatever made those tracks.

Now.

Buffalo spirit, fly well.

Thank you, Creator, for your life.

Sarii?

There you are.

- What are you doing here? - Looking for you.

Your brother is searching for you.

Where is he?

On the other side of the pass.

Where are you going?

- I saw it. - Saw what?

I saw what left those tracks.

- The bear? - Yes, but no.

There was something else, and it was huge.

I couldn't see it, then it was covered in blood, like…

a monster.

You saw a monster from a story?

It killed a bear with its hands in a different way.

It didn't kill you?

Stop!

Go home!

Enough!

That's bad.

You want to go? Just go.

We're going home.

There's something out there.

Quit it!

Sit still and be quiet!

You need a leash for your weapon?

Get some water. We'll rest. Stay here.

- What about Taabe? - We'll see Taabe at camp.

I said stay here.

I'm going to the bathroom. I don't want to do it here.

Water.

Just look at you.

Why do you think the possums left?

Hey. Cut this.

Sit still.

We have him.

No. He has us.

Look here.

Look here.

A girl?

What is she doing here?

I will carry her.

She will slow us down.

No. By the way she ran, I think she saw it.

It's your new blonde, huh?

Get that fucking dog off me!

Sarii?

I have a bad feeling about it.

You killed the buffalo.

You're angry? Now you will pay.

We'll see what she knows..

- Speak, dirty Raphael. - What are you doing here, huh?

- It's a trap? - What's happening?

What did you see?

My tongue is very smart.

You are Comanche, yes?

- I'm going to kill her. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We can always use it.

You should be helping us.

I think this creature is a hunter…

looking for the strongest.

What do you know?

It killed your whole group.

I will make her sing.

No.

It didn't kill everyone.

Be smart. Help us.

Get the savage out. Get him out of the damn box!

What?

One way or another, you will help us.

Make it bleed.

Are you hurt bad?

I'm okay.

We should not have brought the horses.

Silence them or the beast will not come.

Son of a bitch.

The monster the white men are trying to catch…

that's what you were going after?

It's what you were hunting?

Yes.

And that's what you chose for your trial?

Where is this son of a bitch?

I'm hungry and I need to piss.

What is happening?

Oh, no, no, no. What is going on?

- What is happening? - What is happening? Rambert!

Shoot, Rambert!

Shit.

I need a horse.

It is here!

- It's coming. - It is here!

That is some crazy shit.

Naru.

Can you get loose?

Naru.

We're the trap. He's coming for us.

No.

No. It doesn't want to hunt that way.

Before I was captured, it saw me.

It was right there,

and then left.

I didn't frighten it.

You wanna know how I killed that cat?

Your plan. The tree.

It was weakened.

You had it, Naru.

You see everything.

You always have.

Maybe we can't kill this monster.

If it bleeds, we'll kill it.

Now!

Naru.

Naru!

We have it!

Bastard!

What are you doing?

Here's a thought. Get down.

Do you remember that flood?

I saw a beaver with its legs pinned between two rocks.

The water was rising fast. It knew it was going to die.

So it chewed off its own leg.

Shoot!

We're going to hit the others!

Shoot!

It was saving itself…

Wait.

…losing its leg.

Wait. Naru.

What are you doing, Naru? Naru, stop!

I'm smarter than that.

Come on. Let's go.

- Where are you going? - I'm getting horses.

I'll get Sarii.

Step aside. Step aside!

Let's hurry.

I need help.

Nothing can be done for them. We just have to keep moving forward.

And the dog?

I like dog.

It tastes better than beaver.

Sarii.

Go find Taabe.

Now!

Help me.

Will you doctor me?

Help me, and I'll show it to you.

Please.

Please.

Take the powder, put it in the gun.

Not too little, not too much.

And then what?

Then you put the ball in the gun.

Next, that stick you see there.

You do it four times.

Here.

Next…

It's okay.

Put the powder here.

Then pull that back and it will fire.

That's all?

It hurts. It hurts.

Please.

What is it?

What's happening? I'm cold.

Cold.

Please. No. Don't leave me.

It doesn't see him.

Hey!

"Not too much, not too little."

Cheater!

Let's go.

Taabe.

Run, Naru.

It thinks I'm the threat.

This is as far as I go.

No more. This is it.

- Don't. - Just do it.

No! Ah, no! No, stop!

Fuck!

You bled my brother.

So now you bleed.

Wid idiot!

You think that I am not like you.

You don't even know the mistake you just made.

That I am not a threat.

I will put a ball in your skull.

But that is what makes me dangerous.

You wll die, dog!

You won't see that I'm killing you.

And neither will it.

Demon!

No!

Fetch!

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Do it.

Come on, do it.

This is as far as you go.

No more.

This is it.

Naru is coming here!

Arüka, here! Arüka, Naru comes.

Naru comes.

What does she have?

What does she have?

There is danger nearby.

We need to move to higher ground.
