Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:37,207 --> 00:01:40,041
The white man called them buffalo.
2
00:01:40,107 --> 00:01:43,722
We called them Tatanka,
the majestic ones.
3
00:01:43,787 --> 00:01:47,596
Their story is the story of our people.
4
00:01:48,047 --> 00:01:50,038
Tatanka lived in the underworld,
5
00:01:50,207 --> 00:01:52,960
until he saw our people in a vision.
6
00:01:53,127 --> 00:01:54,958
He saw that we were needy.
7
00:01:55,127 --> 00:01:56,606
And for the love of us.
8
00:01:56,667 --> 00:02:00,680
Tatanka came up out
of the earth and became flesh
9
00:02:00,847 --> 00:02:03,486
so that we could eat,
make our clothes
10
00:02:03,547 --> 00:02:06,115
and our dwellings from his hide.
11
00:02:06,287 --> 00:02:08,721
Pte Taoyate, he called us:
12
00:02:09,527 --> 00:02:11,004
The Buffalo Nation.
13
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:12,500
- LAKOTA VILLAGE 1825 -
14
00:02:12,927 --> 00:02:15,566
The prairie opened up...
15
00:02:16,007 --> 00:02:18,202
...like a dog mouth yawning.
16
00:02:19,087 --> 00:02:21,726
The hole was very big.
17
00:02:22,567 --> 00:02:25,798
I looked down into the darkness...
18
00:02:26,567 --> 00:02:29,240
...and the buffalo went into the hole.
19
00:02:30,207 --> 00:02:34,564
I saw the last buffalo
go back into the earth.
20
00:02:40,087 --> 00:02:44,285
I saw our people starving...
21
00:02:44,687 --> 00:02:48,362
...and living in square lodges.
22
00:02:53,447 --> 00:02:56,723
Lakota people, Growling Bear is wrong.
23
00:02:57,447 --> 00:02:59,642
Soaring Eagle, a medicine man,
24
00:02:59,807 --> 00:03:02,765
could not accept
the terrible vision of Growling Bear,
25
00:03:02,927 --> 00:03:05,122
that the buffalo would disappear
26
00:03:05,287 --> 00:03:08,677
and the Lakota
would live in square houses.
27
00:03:09,527 --> 00:03:13,236
It would be good if
Soaring Eagle was right.
28
00:03:56,287 --> 00:03:58,000
- WHEELERTON, VIRGINIA 1825 -
29
00:03:58,247 --> 00:04:01,505
I suppose the best place
to begin our family's story is with
30
00:04:01,767 --> 00:04:03,005
Grandsire Abraham.
31
00:04:03,267 --> 00:04:06,201
Many was the time
as a boy I listened to his tale
32
00:04:06,367 --> 00:04:10,042
of how a cannon subtracted
a leg at the Battle of Yorktown.
33
00:04:10,207 --> 00:04:13,483
I'd have wagered both mine
to see what he saw.
34
00:04:13,647 --> 00:04:16,286
My misfortune was
to be born in a drab age
35
00:04:16,447 --> 00:04:18,563
and to have lived
in the stifle of a barn
36
00:04:18,727 --> 00:04:21,525
where a man was only as good
as the things he crafted.
37
00:04:21,687 --> 00:04:25,680
Wheelwrights we were, going back to the
time when they invented the damn thing.
38
00:04:25,847 --> 00:04:27,678
Wheelers made wheels.
39
00:04:27,847 --> 00:04:31,442
But in my day, it seemed
the wheels made the Wheelers.
40
00:04:32,367 --> 00:04:34,756
All the long day, I lived in my books.
41
00:04:34,927 --> 00:04:36,121
And by night.
42
00:04:36,287 --> 00:04:39,563
I dreamed of a better life
beyond the Mississippi.
43
00:04:39,727 --> 00:04:40,796
Morning, Enoch.
44
00:04:40,967 --> 00:04:42,480
- Hi, Papa. How are you?
- Good.
45
00:04:42,647 --> 00:04:44,285
- Good.
- Nathan.
46
00:04:44,447 --> 00:04:45,846
Morning.
47
00:04:58,047 --> 00:05:01,039
Now that is a thing of beauty.
48
00:05:02,367 --> 00:05:04,403
Anybody see Jacob?
49
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:08,076
Jacob?
50
00:05:14,287 --> 00:05:18,485
At your age I was repairing
cannon wheels at Valley Forge.
51
00:05:18,647 --> 00:05:20,763
At least you got to see
a bit of the world.
52
00:05:20,927 --> 00:05:23,600
The was the war.
We had no choice.
53
00:05:23,767 --> 00:05:25,678
Thank God you live
in a time of peace.
54
00:05:25,847 --> 00:05:27,917
- Yes, sir.
- Apply yourself to the anvil
55
00:05:28,087 --> 00:05:29,486
and you're set for life.
56
00:05:29,647 --> 00:05:32,445
It takes ten years to make
a journeyman wheelwright.
57
00:05:32,607 --> 00:05:34,199
Another ten for master.
58
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:37,564
You'll never lack for work.
They need wheels in time of peace.
59
00:05:37,727 --> 00:05:39,797
They need wheels in time of...
60
00:05:39,967 --> 00:05:41,958
Don't you sass me, young man!
61
00:05:42,127 --> 00:05:43,116
Yes, sir.
62
00:05:44,767 --> 00:05:47,042
You boys knock off for lunch now.
63
00:05:47,487 --> 00:05:50,604
Except Jacob.
You already had yours.
64
00:05:51,687 --> 00:05:53,803
Plough-horse needs shoeing out there.
65
00:06:07,927 --> 00:06:09,519
Good morning.
66
00:06:09,687 --> 00:06:12,121
Who do I see about
replacing a rifle cock?
67
00:06:12,927 --> 00:06:14,918
That'd be me, sir.
68
00:06:22,167 --> 00:06:24,362
If I may, sir,
how did you come by that scar?
69
00:06:24,527 --> 00:06:27,564
Difference of opinion
with a Cheyenne warrior.
70
00:06:27,727 --> 00:06:31,003
Savage thought my scalp might
look better hanging from his belt.
71
00:06:31,167 --> 00:06:33,601
But... I favoured where God put it.
72
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:39,406
But then I fancied
his locks on my belt.
73
00:06:40,207 --> 00:06:42,402
- May I?
- Sure.
74
00:06:43,127 --> 00:06:45,197
My goodness.
75
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,484
- What in the Sam Hill is that?
- Whoa! Sacred.
76
00:06:48,647 --> 00:06:49,875
Grizzly.
77
00:06:50,047 --> 00:06:51,560
On its hind legs,
78
00:06:51,727 --> 00:06:54,366
'bout where
that first rafter starts.
79
00:06:55,527 --> 00:06:57,563
Goodness gracious.
80
00:06:57,727 --> 00:07:00,116
Must be hell out there.
81
00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:02,357
More like a Garden of Eden, son.
82
00:07:02,527 --> 00:07:05,121
You come across some tribes
that give you the girls.
83
00:07:07,647 --> 00:07:10,241
You got mountains
covered with snow in summer.
84
00:07:10,407 --> 00:07:12,204
And forests that go on forever.
85
00:07:12,367 --> 00:07:15,723
Rivers that you
can't hardly see across.
86
00:07:16,407 --> 00:07:20,798
Sometimes you wait half a day
for a buffalo herd to run past.
87
00:07:20,967 --> 00:07:23,959
Big shaggy beast,
three times a horse,
88
00:07:24,127 --> 00:07:25,958
horizon to horizon.
89
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:30,117
Then the Pacific.
90
00:07:30,287 --> 00:07:32,755
Unsullied by human hands,
91
00:07:32,927 --> 00:07:35,646
as it was on the
eighth day of the world.
92
00:07:37,527 --> 00:07:39,279
See if that'll work for you.
93
00:07:40,207 --> 00:07:41,925
Thank you.
94
00:07:42,247 --> 00:07:45,796
Did you finish shoeing
that plough-horse like I told you?
95
00:07:45,967 --> 00:07:47,844
It's a fine young man you got here.
96
00:07:48,007 --> 00:07:51,158
If he doesn't get knocked
into a cocked hat first.
97
00:07:51,327 --> 00:07:53,124
And you let the fire burn down too.
98
00:07:53,287 --> 00:07:57,121
We could have turned out another wheel
before the end of the day, but not now.
99
00:07:57,287 --> 00:07:59,721
Think you could put
a sharper edge on this for me?
100
00:07:59,887 --> 00:08:01,286
Yes, sir.
101
00:08:01,447 --> 00:08:03,324
Is that... human blood?
102
00:08:03,487 --> 00:08:06,718
Arkansas toothpick
ain't for cutting your steak.
103
00:08:10,567 --> 00:08:12,444
So where are you headed, sir?
104
00:08:12,607 --> 00:08:15,838
O'er St. Louis,
meet up with Mr Jedediah Smith.
105
00:08:16,007 --> 00:08:17,486
The Jedediah Smith?
106
00:08:17,647 --> 00:08:20,081
God made only one of him
for all of us to look up to.
107
00:08:20,247 --> 00:08:21,316
Who's that?
108
00:08:21,487 --> 00:08:25,605
Well, Mr Smith opened up
the deep West for trappers.
109
00:08:25,767 --> 00:08:27,519
Looking for a few good mountain men
110
00:08:27,687 --> 00:08:31,157
to explore the beaver populations
out around the Great Salt Lake.
111
00:08:31,327 --> 00:08:33,318
How much can a man
make off of beaver?
112
00:08:33,487 --> 00:08:36,524
As long as they keep buying
beaver hats in London and Paris,
113
00:08:36,687 --> 00:08:38,837
upwards to four or five thousand a year.
114
00:08:41,007 --> 00:08:43,202
Time for you to get back to work now.
115
00:08:44,087 --> 00:08:45,998
All of you.
116
00:08:50,207 --> 00:08:53,358
Oh, now Margaret,
that is a fine-looking goose.
117
00:08:53,527 --> 00:08:55,597
- Believe that beaver story?
- Not a word.
118
00:08:55,767 --> 00:08:57,837
Sunday dinner
was another form of labour
119
00:08:58,007 --> 00:09:00,362
with my father Enoch,
my mother Margaret,,,
120
00:09:00,527 --> 00:09:02,165
Can we say grace first?
121
00:09:02,327 --> 00:09:04,522
,,, my brothers Ezra,
Nathan and Jethro,
122
00:09:04,687 --> 00:09:06,245
For what we are about to receive...
123
00:09:06,407 --> 00:09:09,683
Grandfather presided over the ritual
with Grandmother Hannah,
124
00:09:09,847 --> 00:09:11,997
The Wheelers pounded iron
six days a week,
125
00:09:12,167 --> 00:09:14,601
but on the seventh,
we pounded each other,
126
00:09:14,767 --> 00:09:18,726
President Adams is saying to Europe,
"Keep out. It's all ours."
127
00:09:18,887 --> 00:09:21,196
It needs another Jefferson
to take it all.
128
00:09:21,367 --> 00:09:23,722
But isn't the West
just one vast desert?
129
00:09:23,887 --> 00:09:25,400
A common untruth, Mama.
130
00:09:25,567 --> 00:09:28,764
The West has all kinds of trade.
It's a veritable Garden of Eden.
131
00:09:28,927 --> 00:09:32,556
Yes, Jacob's just returned
from the west wing of the house.
132
00:09:33,087 --> 00:09:36,841
Jacob, in fact, has yet to discover
the western side of the barn.
133
00:09:37,927 --> 00:09:40,760
As with all rituals,
nothing ever much changed,,,
134
00:09:41,367 --> 00:09:43,961
,,, until that Sunday
when I looked around the table
135
00:09:44,127 --> 00:09:47,278
and said my silent goodbye
to each and every Wheeler,
136
00:09:54,047 --> 00:09:57,926
Where are the buffalo?
137
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:03,838
Heyoka, the clown,
tried to lift their spirits
138
00:10:04,647 --> 00:10:07,241
after Growling Bear's dark vision,
139
00:10:09,727 --> 00:10:11,319
For the boy, White Feather,
140
00:10:11,487 --> 00:10:13,239
there were only questions,
141
00:10:13,407 --> 00:10:16,080
He sought answers among his family,
142
00:10:16,247 --> 00:10:19,557
What you did was wrong, grandson.
143
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:21,681
Yes, grandfather.
144
00:10:21,967 --> 00:10:24,322
Is the dream of Growling Bear true?
145
00:10:26,047 --> 00:10:27,719
White Feather... Eat.
146
00:10:30,847 --> 00:10:32,838
But who killed the Lakota?
147
00:10:33,287 --> 00:10:36,199
They just told you to eat.
148
00:10:41,167 --> 00:10:45,365
White Feather was determined to discover
the meaning of Growling Bear's vision,
149
00:10:45,527 --> 00:10:48,963
and if the future it predicted
could be changed,
150
00:11:30,327 --> 00:11:32,716
Your dream... is it true?
151
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:39,721
A man called Drinks Water
had the same vision long ago.
152
00:11:51,487 --> 00:11:55,958
White Feather did not have words
to match what he knew to be true,
153
00:11:58,967 --> 00:12:02,403
But he knew that a vision
was a dangerous thing,
154
00:12:03,407 --> 00:12:06,319
He knew a vision could kill a man,
155
00:12:54,327 --> 00:12:55,919
Jacob!
156
00:12:56,247 --> 00:12:57,646
You hold up!
157
00:13:03,127 --> 00:13:04,685
- Jacob!
- Jacob!
158
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:10,604
Jacob, wait!
159
00:13:20,687 --> 00:13:21,836
Wait!
160
00:13:25,607 --> 00:13:27,006
So, what do you figure?
161
00:13:27,167 --> 00:13:30,159
Just run out and not tell nobody,
hope your scheme works out?
162
00:13:30,327 --> 00:13:32,045
I don't expect Mr Smith and Mr Fletcher are gonna
163
00:13:32,207 --> 00:13:34,880
- tarry in St. Louis.
- Ma and Pa? What do we tell them?
164
00:13:35,047 --> 00:13:36,321
Tell them I love them.
165
00:13:36,487 --> 00:13:39,797
I ain't got time to lose.
I made my last wheel in Wheelerton.
166
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:41,844
Why would a frontiersmen
accommodate you?
167
00:13:42,007 --> 00:13:43,759
Ask and you shall receive.
168
00:13:43,927 --> 00:13:45,565
Mr Eternal Optimist.
169
00:13:45,727 --> 00:13:48,287
Nathan, I thought you had
more enterprise in you.
170
00:13:48,447 --> 00:13:51,120
Jethro, you've always
been a blade of grass:
171
00:13:51,287 --> 00:13:53,164
Bends with the wind.
172
00:13:58,687 --> 00:14:00,325
- Wait up.
- No!
173
00:14:02,727 --> 00:14:05,195
You'll be the first Wheelers
to give up the trade.
174
00:14:05,527 --> 00:14:09,202
You'll stay behind, pound on dead iron
till you become as dead as iron.
175
00:14:11,727 --> 00:14:13,240
Come on, Jethro.
176
00:14:13,407 --> 00:14:14,999
Now or never.
177
00:14:21,007 --> 00:14:22,998
Oh, come on.
178
00:14:43,727 --> 00:14:46,764
White Feather could not accept
Growling Bear's vision
179
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:49,282
that the buffalo would not return,
180
00:14:49,447 --> 00:14:51,324
A ceremony was performed,
181
00:14:51,487 --> 00:14:54,684
The people danced
to give gratitude to Tatanka,
182
00:14:54,847 --> 00:14:57,407
and prayed that he would live
again and again
183
00:14:57,567 --> 00:14:59,523
in the great circle of life,
184
00:15:13,967 --> 00:15:17,403
White Feather! Come!
Buffalo have come!
185
00:15:18,887 --> 00:15:22,800
To lead the buffalo to the jump
was to taunt death,
186
00:15:22,967 --> 00:15:25,083
White Feather knew
that his brothers,
187
00:15:25,247 --> 00:15:27,124
Dog Star and Running Fox,
188
00:15:27,287 --> 00:15:30,723
were chosen
for their ability and courage,
189
00:15:31,007 --> 00:15:35,159
He was proud of them,
but afraid also,
190
00:15:56,407 --> 00:15:58,716
You have never jumped before.
191
00:15:59,247 --> 00:16:02,000
When you run and jump,
you must not stop.
192
00:16:02,727 --> 00:16:05,287
The run, jump, and swing
must be one.
193
00:16:06,087 --> 00:16:11,286
Otherwise, you will not
swing into the cave.
194
00:17:16,967 --> 00:17:18,195
Help me!
195
00:18:42,007 --> 00:18:44,043
Tatanka spared the boy,
196
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:47,165
so on the day the boy's mother
was put to rest,
197
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:51,161
White Feather was renamed
Loved by the Buffalo,
198
00:18:51,327 --> 00:18:53,795
and all agreed
that he had been called
199
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:57,039
to walk the road of the medicine man,
200
00:19:01,207 --> 00:19:06,122
Let White Feather be known as
Loved by the Buffalo.
201
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,441
One of my sons a holy man?
202
00:19:25,087 --> 00:19:27,601
That brings honour to the family.
203
00:19:31,927 --> 00:19:35,283
But Soaring Eagle killed
Growling Bear with evil medicine.
204
00:19:35,687 --> 00:19:38,485
You give too much power
to Soaring Eagle.
205
00:19:42,607 --> 00:19:46,885
We must keep all eyes on this boy.
206
00:20:01,847 --> 00:20:03,997
And so Loved by the Buffalo
207
00:20:04,167 --> 00:20:06,761
took no food or drink in four days,
208
00:20:06,927 --> 00:20:09,202
He cleansed his body and mind
209
00:20:09,367 --> 00:20:12,598
to open his spirit
for a vision to enter,
210
00:20:49,407 --> 00:20:53,161
TENNESSEE
THREE MONTHS LATER
211
00:21:04,847 --> 00:21:07,441
Stash the horses over there.
Wait till dark.
212
00:21:27,847 --> 00:21:29,724
- What the?
- Hey!
213
00:21:30,487 --> 00:21:31,966
Hey!
214
00:21:32,127 --> 00:21:34,880
- Get your black hands off of me!
- Let go of him.
215
00:21:35,047 --> 00:21:37,720
When he let go of me.
When he let go of me!
216
00:21:37,887 --> 00:21:39,639
You're dead as mutton if you don't.
217
00:21:39,807 --> 00:21:41,445
So's your friend.
218
00:21:45,047 --> 00:21:47,959
All right, I'm gonna let go.
You let go.
219
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:51,964
Who's in there?
You answer me, by God.
220
00:21:52,327 --> 00:21:55,046
Just a couple of hungry boys
out for some eggs, sir.
221
00:21:55,847 --> 00:21:57,166
How many are ya?
222
00:21:57,327 --> 00:21:59,557
Just two of us in here
stealing eggs, sir.
223
00:21:59,727 --> 00:22:04,164
Regret to say the wolf in our stomachs
overcame our God-fearing souls.
224
00:22:04,327 --> 00:22:07,558
You only had to knock on
my door to discover Christian charity.
225
00:22:07,727 --> 00:22:09,319
Had your fill of eggs to boot.
226
00:22:09,487 --> 00:22:11,876
We only took enough
to keep the wolf at bay, sir.
227
00:22:14,047 --> 00:22:16,436
Well, go on. Take a few.
228
00:22:19,047 --> 00:22:20,366
Had my hopes up,
229
00:22:20,527 --> 00:22:23,121
what with a big reward
for a runaway slave.
230
00:22:23,287 --> 00:22:24,276
You don't say.
231
00:22:24,447 --> 00:22:26,438
How much was that reward?
232
00:22:26,607 --> 00:22:27,881
Hundred silver dollars.
233
00:22:29,087 --> 00:22:31,203
With your permission,
we'll be on our way.
234
00:22:31,367 --> 00:22:32,482
What about the?
235
00:22:33,487 --> 00:22:37,958
Nathan! Let... let the good Christian
man go back to his warm bed.
236
00:22:38,127 --> 00:22:40,322
- Thank you.
- Thank you heartily, sir.
237
00:22:44,047 --> 00:22:46,003
God bless, boys.
238
00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,201
What objection do you have
when the thing stands
239
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:51,959
between us and ruination is $ 7?
240
00:22:52,127 --> 00:22:54,118
Man kept his word.
I intend to keep mine.
241
00:22:54,287 --> 00:22:55,720
What man?
He's a runaway.
242
00:22:55,887 --> 00:22:58,481
- That money's mine.
- No, it's my rifle!
243
00:22:59,327 --> 00:23:02,603
Poor as Job's turkey. You won't
even bend down to pick up $100
244
00:23:02,767 --> 00:23:05,281
- laying on the ground.
- Man's got to draw a line.
245
00:23:05,447 --> 00:23:07,915
- He did the honourable thing.
- You're a dreamer.
246
00:23:08,087 --> 00:23:10,078
- Let go, Nathan.
- No!
247
00:23:10,247 --> 00:23:12,477
Who made you captain
of this enterprise?
248
00:23:13,687 --> 00:23:15,996
You won't be laughing
when I catch you, boy.
249
00:23:16,167 --> 00:23:18,965
There goes our hundred silver dollars.
250
00:23:19,727 --> 00:23:21,240
Damn you, Jacob.
251
00:23:21,407 --> 00:23:23,443
Stop running!
252
00:23:23,607 --> 00:23:26,679
Nice shootin', farmer boy. See ya.
253
00:23:27,927 --> 00:23:31,397
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
254
00:23:36,927 --> 00:23:39,282
Nice to see you.
How are you?
255
00:23:45,847 --> 00:23:49,965
We'd been in St, Louis long enough
to see the sights and then some,
256
00:23:50,127 --> 00:23:53,517
but it took more than a fortnight
longer to find what we'd come for,
257
00:23:53,687 --> 00:23:55,325
Mr Fletcher.
258
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:00,439
Mr Fletcher!
259
00:24:03,127 --> 00:24:06,278
Jacob Wheeler!
You remember my brother, Nathan?
260
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,764
Yeah, I remember.
261
00:24:09,407 --> 00:24:11,398
You said you needed men, sir.
262
00:24:16,447 --> 00:24:19,359
Yeah... I said I needed men.
263
00:24:20,287 --> 00:24:22,243
Mountain men.
264
00:24:23,767 --> 00:24:25,519
Well, we'll pull our weight, sir.
265
00:24:25,687 --> 00:24:28,247
Do you suppose you could
introduce us to Mr Smith?
266
00:24:29,767 --> 00:24:31,325
We sure did come a long way.
267
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:34,278
St. Louis is...
268
00:24:34,447 --> 00:24:37,519
...raining mountain men,
Jacob, my boy. Nathan.
269
00:24:37,687 --> 00:24:40,042
Seasoned men.
270
00:24:40,207 --> 00:24:42,198
Men more Indian than white.
271
00:24:42,927 --> 00:24:46,556
Men who can speak Apache,
Cheyenne
272
00:24:46,727 --> 00:24:48,558
and Mexican.
273
00:24:50,087 --> 00:24:51,645
Nathan, hold on!
274
00:24:52,127 --> 00:24:54,595
Sorry, Jacob.
Maybe next time.
275
00:25:01,407 --> 00:25:02,886
Where the hell you been?
276
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:09,437
St. Louis loves the Brothers Wheeler.
277
00:25:09,607 --> 00:25:11,040
I couldn't lose a hand.
278
00:25:11,207 --> 00:25:14,677
Ten times I tried to quit,
ten times they made me stay.
279
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,724
I won this.
280
00:25:16,887 --> 00:25:19,879
It is an escritura,
That's Spanish for "deed."
281
00:25:20,047 --> 00:25:22,277
I won that at poker too.
282
00:25:22,447 --> 00:25:25,086
It's a mere hundred acres in Tejas.
283
00:25:25,247 --> 00:25:28,239
You 25, me 75.
284
00:25:28,407 --> 00:25:30,875
What do you say about that,
Brother Jacob?
285
00:25:32,847 --> 00:25:35,315
Tejas ain't even
in the United States, Nathan.
286
00:25:35,487 --> 00:25:37,398
- So what?
- They don't speak English.
287
00:25:37,567 --> 00:25:40,445
- They're Catholics.
- With a hundred acres, who cares?
288
00:25:40,607 --> 00:25:43,883
I made up my mind.
I'm going with Jedediah Smith.
289
00:25:45,607 --> 00:25:49,361
You see that furry creature? That's
the kind of man Jedediah Smith wants.
290
00:25:49,527 --> 00:25:52,439
But who cares beans?
We've found our fortune in Tejas.
291
00:25:52,607 --> 00:25:54,563
- I want to see the Pacific.
- Then what?
292
00:25:54,727 --> 00:25:56,206
I don't know.
293
00:25:57,887 --> 00:26:00,401
I got a bird in the hand in Tejas.
294
00:26:00,567 --> 00:26:02,956
You're after
the will-o'-the-wisp out West.
295
00:26:03,127 --> 00:26:04,924
With adventurers and criminals.
296
00:26:05,087 --> 00:26:07,043
I say we stick together.
297
00:26:07,207 --> 00:26:09,562
Yeah, well,
why should I stick with you?
298
00:26:09,727 --> 00:26:12,719
There's a reason why our father
gave you the grunt work
299
00:26:12,887 --> 00:26:15,481
and me the precise
measurements of wheel making.
300
00:26:15,647 --> 00:26:19,481
Because you never had a head, except
for dreamin'. And here you go again.
301
00:26:23,007 --> 00:26:25,157
Are you coming or not?
302
00:26:25,327 --> 00:26:28,524
I thought of our mother,
vexed by her perfidious sons,
303
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:32,077
always consoling herself
with the notion that we had each other,
304
00:26:32,247 --> 00:26:34,602
But we didn't allow her
even that much comfort,
305
00:26:34,767 --> 00:26:38,555
I leave from the steamboat
within the hour if you change your mind.
306
00:26:44,087 --> 00:26:47,762
Nathan went south,
and I went west,
307
00:26:53,567 --> 00:26:57,116
I put my best foot forward
and bought a new, old suit of clothes
308
00:26:57,287 --> 00:27:00,518
for the occasion of meeting
the great Jedediah Smith,
309
00:27:19,527 --> 00:27:21,279
It was not easy to find Mr Smith
310
00:27:21,447 --> 00:27:24,086
because he endeavoured
to stay upwind of me,
311
00:27:24,887 --> 00:27:27,355
And then suddenly
he stood in front of me,
312
00:27:28,167 --> 00:27:31,239
Well, I just want to see what
no white man has ever seen before.
313
00:27:31,407 --> 00:27:34,126
If a horse throws a shoe,
I'm a first-rate farrier.
314
00:27:34,287 --> 00:27:36,278
Been at it since I could pick up
a hammer.
315
00:27:36,447 --> 00:27:38,836
- Can you shoot?
- I'm a hunter. It's my rifle.
316
00:27:39,367 --> 00:27:41,403
Exactly what kind
of game do you hunt?
317
00:27:41,567 --> 00:27:43,523
Rabbits and deer, sir.
318
00:27:51,207 --> 00:27:52,879
You ever kill a man?
319
00:27:53,047 --> 00:27:55,242
No, sir.
320
00:27:58,607 --> 00:28:00,723
I admire your spirit, boy.
321
00:28:00,887 --> 00:28:03,765
But only the best of the best
will be chosen.
322
00:28:03,927 --> 00:28:05,440
So you go on home.
323
00:28:05,607 --> 00:28:07,882
Nobody here
will think the worst of you.
324
00:28:08,047 --> 00:28:10,402
Maybe next time around.
325
00:28:10,567 --> 00:28:13,320
With all due respect, sir,
you ever kill a man?
326
00:28:17,167 --> 00:28:18,486
My friend,
327
00:28:18,647 --> 00:28:23,038
Mr Smith cannot count
the savages that fell to his hand.
328
00:28:23,567 --> 00:28:28,243
Well, you know what? It's pretty easy
to kill a savage out to scalp you.
329
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:31,365
But you ever hunt down an
innocent rabbit, done you no harm?
330
00:28:31,527 --> 00:28:34,087
Cut it down in cold blood and eat it?
331
00:28:39,367 --> 00:28:41,756
Nobody in Wheelerton
would have believed it,
332
00:28:41,927 --> 00:28:43,838
I was riding with a legend,
333
00:28:44,007 --> 00:28:45,998
Hearty as a buck, a crack shot,
334
00:28:46,167 --> 00:28:49,557
a walking encyclopaedia
of Indians and their strange habits,
335
00:28:49,727 --> 00:28:52,844
Mr Smith was like
no man I ever knew,
336
00:28:53,007 --> 00:28:55,567
And I would never be the same,
337
00:29:06,767 --> 00:29:09,679
The buffalo jumpers,
Running Fox and Dog Star,
338
00:29:09,847 --> 00:29:11,678
had their eyes on two sisters,
339
00:29:11,847 --> 00:29:14,759
but had to prove themselves
to a more dangerous opponent
340
00:29:14,927 --> 00:29:16,599
than stampeding buffalo,
341
00:29:16,767 --> 00:29:18,723
The small, skinned rabbit
342
00:29:18,887 --> 00:29:21,924
did not impress
the girls'protective father,
343
00:29:37,287 --> 00:29:40,199
These are good horses.
344
00:29:44,807 --> 00:29:46,286
Go inside.
345
00:30:14,687 --> 00:30:17,281
Two brothers married two sisters
346
00:30:17,447 --> 00:30:20,803
and walked the path of old tradition,
347
00:30:32,447 --> 00:30:35,325
Loved by the Buffalo
studied the power of plants,
348
00:30:35,487 --> 00:30:37,159
of roots and herbs,
349
00:30:37,327 --> 00:30:39,682
He learned how to cure
the body and the spirit
350
00:30:39,847 --> 00:30:42,202
using songs and ceremonies,
351
00:30:54,367 --> 00:30:57,484
It may be the weather.
352
00:30:58,087 --> 00:31:00,396
Or her lack of faith.
353
00:31:01,407 --> 00:31:06,117
But the holy man did not know
all the powers the boy was given,
354
00:31:21,567 --> 00:31:24,127
Loved by the Buffalo
discovered he had the power
355
00:31:24,287 --> 00:31:26,403
to take another's pain upon himself,
356
00:31:26,807 --> 00:31:29,082
He knew the power
was not his own,
357
00:31:29,247 --> 00:31:31,807
but that of Wakan Tanka,
358
00:31:48,727 --> 00:31:52,276
May our gratitude please you,
Soaring Eagle.
359
00:32:28,127 --> 00:32:29,685
Watch this.
360
00:32:34,407 --> 00:32:35,601
See?
361
00:32:35,767 --> 00:32:36,961
Washtegla,
362
00:32:37,127 --> 00:32:39,038
Now watch this.
363
00:32:43,367 --> 00:32:46,120
See? Enouk neo,
364
00:32:47,127 --> 00:32:49,277
Pot.
365
00:32:50,047 --> 00:32:51,639
The gun is what we need.
366
00:32:54,487 --> 00:32:57,047
Ten beaver skins for the pot.
367
00:32:59,367 --> 00:33:02,086
Forty for the gun.
368
00:33:05,007 --> 00:33:09,876
I give 31 skins for both of them.
369
00:33:13,487 --> 00:33:17,400
Thirty one beaver skins will do.
370
00:33:25,207 --> 00:33:26,686
And I'll give you more...
371
00:33:27,127 --> 00:33:28,845
...if I can marry your daughter.
372
00:33:50,407 --> 00:33:53,001
Lebeck is a good man.
373
00:33:53,487 --> 00:33:56,923
An alliance with the traders
is good for the Lakota.
374
00:33:58,287 --> 00:34:00,596
Rifles are what we want.
375
00:34:35,287 --> 00:34:38,006
Thunder Heart Woman
would carry the medicine wheel
376
00:34:38,167 --> 00:34:40,635
that Growling Bear
gave to her brother,
377
00:34:40,807 --> 00:34:44,561
In it she would keep
her family and her memories,
378
00:34:44,727 --> 00:34:47,036
and that gave her comfort,
379
00:35:31,767 --> 00:35:35,680
Days passed into months,
until I lost track of time altogether,
380
00:35:35,847 --> 00:35:39,476
Riding with Mr Smith, I saw
the grandeur and majesty of the West
381
00:35:39,647 --> 00:35:42,241
as few white men had ever seen it,
382
00:35:45,007 --> 00:35:48,886
COLORADO
383
00:35:50,407 --> 00:35:53,956
Mr Fletcher, is that path passable?
384
00:35:54,127 --> 00:35:56,516
Path ain't even jack-assable.
385
00:36:03,287 --> 00:36:06,518
Everywhere I looked I saw
treasures of immeasurable beauty,
386
00:36:06,687 --> 00:36:10,202
and I longed for my brothers
to share them,
387
00:36:31,927 --> 00:36:34,361
- Back!
- Get... Mr...
388
00:36:49,327 --> 00:36:50,316
Shoot him!
389
00:37:08,767 --> 00:37:11,406
Praise the Lord
for providing our supper tonight.
390
00:37:11,567 --> 00:37:14,001
- Amen.
- Praise the Lord.
391
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:15,839
Get out of there, boys.
392
00:37:18,447 --> 00:37:21,359
- Fetch my bag, Mr Wheeler.
- Yes, sir.
393
00:37:24,447 --> 00:37:27,280
- What do you need from it, sir?
- I got it.
394
00:37:29,327 --> 00:37:30,919
- Here we go.
- All right.
395
00:37:31,087 --> 00:37:34,204
Put my scalp... Mr Wheeler?
396
00:37:35,007 --> 00:37:36,725
Yes, sir.
397
00:37:39,407 --> 00:37:41,443
Thread the needle.
398
00:37:42,207 --> 00:37:44,004
Sew it back on, son.
399
00:37:44,927 --> 00:37:46,963
- Go ahead.
- I ain't never done nothing
400
00:37:47,127 --> 00:37:49,436
- like that before.
- Neither have I, son.
401
00:37:53,047 --> 00:37:56,722
- Perhaps Mr Fletcher could...
- I gave you an order, boy.
402
00:37:56,887 --> 00:37:59,276
Thread that needle
and sew my scalp back on.
403
00:37:59,447 --> 00:38:01,199
Yes, sir.
404
00:38:01,647 --> 00:38:03,638
Isn't this gonna hurt, sir?
405
00:38:03,807 --> 00:38:05,843
I believe it will, son.
406
00:38:06,007 --> 00:38:09,556
But I think it'll hurt the person
being sewed more than the sewer.
407
00:38:11,647 --> 00:38:13,797
- Mr Fletcher?
- Yeah.
408
00:38:13,967 --> 00:38:16,242
Fetch my Bible, please.
409
00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:18,963
- Hold still, sir.
- Thank you, kindly.
410
00:38:27,647 --> 00:38:28,921
Sorry, sir.
411
00:38:34,487 --> 00:38:36,284
Oh, goodness!
412
00:38:36,447 --> 00:38:39,325
Sorry it hurts you so much, son.
413
00:38:43,607 --> 00:38:46,758
MONTANA TERRITORY
414
00:39:10,727 --> 00:39:14,606
That's right, darling.
Stretch them nice, you get a good price.
415
00:39:35,367 --> 00:39:39,360
Loved by the Buffalo began
to walk the path of a holy man,
416
00:39:39,527 --> 00:39:41,279
The way was long and dangerous,
417
00:39:41,447 --> 00:39:44,245
but for one who communes
with Wakan Tanka,
418
00:39:44,407 --> 00:39:47,046
many things are possible,
419
00:40:00,527 --> 00:40:02,006
In the medicine wheel,
420
00:40:02,167 --> 00:40:06,957
Loved by the Buffalo learned
the mysterious realities of life,
421
00:40:11,247 --> 00:40:13,636
He saw the sun
and moon and seasons
422
00:40:13,807 --> 00:40:16,037
come and go in a circle,
423
00:40:16,207 --> 00:40:20,405
He saw that all true power
moved in a circle,
424
00:40:27,407 --> 00:40:30,922
How did you know to stand there?
425
00:40:45,367 --> 00:40:49,121
SIERRA NEVADAS
426
00:41:02,887 --> 00:41:05,162
When we descended
from the high Sierras,
427
00:41:05,327 --> 00:41:07,966
we came across a friendly tribe,
428
00:41:08,127 --> 00:41:09,765
They called themselves Mohave,
429
00:41:09,927 --> 00:41:12,282
"the people who live along the river,"
430
00:41:12,447 --> 00:41:14,438
and they called us "beaver-eaters,"
431
00:41:14,607 --> 00:41:18,600
Mr Smith purchased horses
to replace those we consumed,
432
00:41:19,127 --> 00:41:21,243
One blanket. Two knives.
433
00:41:27,367 --> 00:41:28,925
A gift.
434
00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:31,555
- Eskesuka,
- Thank you.
435
00:41:39,207 --> 00:41:41,641
- Maricopa.
- Maricopa.
436
00:41:41,807 --> 00:41:43,525
Maricopa.
437
00:41:45,287 --> 00:41:46,720
Maricopa.
438
00:41:50,407 --> 00:41:53,205
- Maricopa!
- It's just dandy!
439
00:41:53,367 --> 00:41:55,437
- Dandy!
- Dandy!
440
00:41:55,607 --> 00:41:56,676
Maricopa!
441
00:42:11,727 --> 00:42:14,878
- Very dandy!
- Very dandy!
442
00:42:15,047 --> 00:42:16,321
Dandy!
443
00:43:06,327 --> 00:43:09,046
You are a most unusual young man.
444
00:43:10,167 --> 00:43:11,486
I'm afraid not, sir.
445
00:43:11,647 --> 00:43:13,478
Well, there they are down there.
446
00:43:13,647 --> 00:43:15,399
What're you doing up here?
447
00:43:15,807 --> 00:43:19,402
Seems like there was this tiny
Jedediah Smith standing on my shoulder
448
00:43:19,567 --> 00:43:21,364
telling me to come up here with you.
449
00:43:21,527 --> 00:43:24,678
- I want to be like you, sir.
- Well, much obliged, son.
450
00:43:24,847 --> 00:43:26,326
You do me great honour.
451
00:43:26,487 --> 00:43:27,715
But you see, sir,
452
00:43:27,887 --> 00:43:31,004
I'm just a...
ape of Jedediah Smith.
453
00:43:31,167 --> 00:43:33,635
I want to be like you,
I really want to be like you,
454
00:43:33,807 --> 00:43:35,877
but there's a part of me
I feel inside...
455
00:43:36,047 --> 00:43:38,561
I wanna be back down there.
What does that make me?
456
00:43:38,727 --> 00:43:40,240
It makes you a human being.
457
00:43:40,887 --> 00:43:42,957
Just like the rest of us.
458
00:43:43,127 --> 00:43:45,595
Are you tempted too, sir?
459
00:43:45,767 --> 00:43:48,804
Come over here.
Sit down, boy. Come over here.
460
00:43:52,167 --> 00:43:53,646
Jacob.
461
00:43:54,727 --> 00:43:57,639
We're as human
as the least of them down there.
462
00:43:57,807 --> 00:44:00,082
But we're also more than that.
463
00:44:00,967 --> 00:44:04,721
"As a man thinketh, so he is."
What do you think you are?
464
00:44:07,687 --> 00:44:10,759
The Lord fashioned us
a little above the beast,
465
00:44:10,927 --> 00:44:12,963
a little below the angels.
466
00:44:13,127 --> 00:44:15,516
But he gave us the choice.
467
00:44:15,687 --> 00:44:17,678
And it's great, son.
468
00:44:20,567 --> 00:44:23,957
Some of these men, they come West,
they lose their souls.
469
00:44:26,287 --> 00:44:30,565
West is a place on the map,
not a way to live. Don't forget that.
470
00:44:32,047 --> 00:44:34,686
A man has to know his own mind.
471
00:44:39,487 --> 00:44:43,321
You might begin... your own journal.
472
00:44:59,207 --> 00:45:00,799
Crow!
473
00:46:07,847 --> 00:46:09,724
Baby!
474
00:46:18,127 --> 00:46:20,800
Lakota killed my brother!
475
00:46:49,767 --> 00:46:53,237
CALIFORNIA
476
00:47:19,047 --> 00:47:22,244
He said that we are his prisoners.
477
00:47:25,887 --> 00:47:28,355
Well, tell him that maybe
it escaped his notice
478
00:47:28,527 --> 00:47:30,995
that he's outnumbered three to one.
479
00:47:43,567 --> 00:47:47,355
He said he would arrest us
if there was a thousand of us.
480
00:47:53,207 --> 00:47:57,280
SAN GABRIEL MISSION,
CALIFORNIA
481
00:48:06,927 --> 00:48:08,121
Dismount!
482
00:48:09,367 --> 00:48:11,198
They're taking you to the governor.
483
00:48:11,367 --> 00:48:12,516
Look after the men.
484
00:48:15,767 --> 00:48:18,565
The captain took Mr Smith away,
485
00:48:18,727 --> 00:48:21,287
"to make the governor's
acquaintance, " he said,
486
00:48:21,447 --> 00:48:24,917
Under ordinary circumstances,
we'd have welcomed the hospitality
487
00:48:25,087 --> 00:48:27,043
of the San Gabriel padres,
488
00:48:27,567 --> 00:48:28,795
Disarm them.
489
00:48:28,967 --> 00:48:32,039
But there was no mistaking
the fact that we were prisoners,
490
00:48:43,767 --> 00:48:46,122
They say they bought
the horses from the Indians.
491
00:48:47,767 --> 00:48:50,679
I believe it.
But that is the flea on the dog.
492
00:48:53,727 --> 00:48:57,766
The danger is that, for the first time,
Americans have come by land.
493
00:48:59,007 --> 00:49:02,716
If we free them, they will show other
Americans how to go to California.
494
00:49:07,247 --> 00:49:10,080
If we kill them, they say nothing.
495
00:49:10,487 --> 00:49:12,955
May God save us.
496
00:49:18,287 --> 00:49:22,041
Our time among the Mohave
was to cost us both dearly,
497
00:49:22,207 --> 00:49:25,085
The soldados
wanted to set an example,
498
00:49:25,247 --> 00:49:28,205
It didn't matter if the men
they brought in as horse thieves
499
00:49:28,367 --> 00:49:32,042
were innocent or guilty,
Indians were Indians,
500
00:49:49,567 --> 00:49:53,640
It was a powerful trial
to watch the sun set day after day
501
00:49:53,807 --> 00:49:57,436
over the horizon I had
sacrificed home and family to reach,
502
00:49:57,607 --> 00:50:00,041
Whether any of us
would live to see the wide ocean
503
00:50:00,207 --> 00:50:02,323
that had been
the object of our expedition
504
00:50:02,487 --> 00:50:05,160
now depended on Mr Smith,
505
00:50:07,567 --> 00:50:09,637
- Gentlemen!
- Mr Smith!
506
00:50:09,807 --> 00:50:12,037
- I've got news for you.
- Where have you been?
507
00:50:12,687 --> 00:50:14,279
The governor has given us
508
00:50:14,447 --> 00:50:17,405
the most generous,
but strict instructions.
509
00:50:17,567 --> 00:50:20,286
We must depart as we came
510
00:50:20,447 --> 00:50:22,756
and never return on pain of death.
511
00:50:41,687 --> 00:50:44,201
We were forced to return east,
512
00:50:44,367 --> 00:50:46,835
I looked back and made
myself the solemn promise
513
00:50:47,007 --> 00:50:50,966
that one day
I would see California again,
514
00:51:05,487 --> 00:51:09,196
Loved by the Buffalo knew
that a vision from Wakan Tanka
515
00:51:09,367 --> 00:51:12,200
would direct the course of his life,
516
00:51:25,087 --> 00:51:28,159
White Buffalo Woman
brought us the sacred ceremonies
517
00:51:28,327 --> 00:51:30,841
so that we could ask
for help in our troubles
518
00:51:31,007 --> 00:51:33,885
and give thanks
for the gifts from Wakan Tanka,
519
00:51:34,047 --> 00:51:36,800
She taught us the Sun Dance,
520
00:52:44,087 --> 00:52:47,045
SIERRA NEVADAS
521
00:52:47,447 --> 00:52:51,076
Once we drank maricopa
with the Mohave and shared their women,
522
00:52:51,367 --> 00:52:52,766
But after we had left them,
523
00:52:52,927 --> 00:52:57,079
a party of beaver-eaters had attacked
the village and left it in flames,
524
00:52:57,247 --> 00:53:00,159
Now we were forced
to run for our lives,
525
00:53:36,567 --> 00:53:38,398
Move, Jacob. Come on!
526
00:53:45,967 --> 00:53:47,719
There! Get in!
527
00:53:52,087 --> 00:53:53,645
Hurry up!
528
00:54:02,807 --> 00:54:03,956
You OK?
529
00:54:14,407 --> 00:54:15,886
You all right?
530
00:54:25,207 --> 00:54:26,435
Be still.
531
00:54:28,647 --> 00:54:30,399
Fire. Fire!
532
00:54:54,887 --> 00:54:57,162
Bully for you, young man.
533
00:54:58,047 --> 00:55:00,481
That should hold them off for a while.
534
00:55:01,207 --> 00:55:03,357
- Mr Fletcher.
- Yeah.
535
00:55:03,527 --> 00:55:05,404
The smoke is drifting.
536
00:55:05,567 --> 00:55:06,886
What's that mean?
537
00:55:07,047 --> 00:55:09,242
It means there's a way out of here.
538
00:55:14,647 --> 00:55:18,117
I got a pang telling me,
time to hang up the fiddle.
539
00:55:18,287 --> 00:55:21,324
Hey, listen,
you two just follow the smoke.
540
00:55:21,487 --> 00:55:25,116
And I'll... I'll keep
our friends amused. OK?
541
00:55:25,287 --> 00:55:27,642
Jacob! Bring me my gun.
542
00:55:32,247 --> 00:55:33,760
Thank you.
543
00:55:40,407 --> 00:55:42,841
Listen, Jacob...
544
00:55:43,647 --> 00:55:45,000
...I want you to have that.
545
00:55:45,167 --> 00:55:48,796
No use any Mohave gettin' it
that won't appreciate it.
546
00:55:49,847 --> 00:55:51,405
Learn to use it, son.
547
00:55:51,567 --> 00:55:54,559
Things can get
pretty personal out West.
548
00:55:54,727 --> 00:55:56,285
Thank you, Mr Fletcher.
549
00:55:58,447 --> 00:56:00,563
Jacob! Light it!
550
00:56:03,087 --> 00:56:05,078
- Jim.
- Yeah.
551
00:56:05,247 --> 00:56:08,364
You're a man
of unfailing rectitude.
552
00:56:08,527 --> 00:56:12,884
Remember me...
to all the boys at the rendezvous.
553
00:56:13,047 --> 00:56:14,844
Get going.
554
00:56:21,207 --> 00:56:22,879
Get going!
555
00:57:17,927 --> 00:57:20,441
- Mr Smith, I can't do this.
- Of course you can.
556
00:57:20,607 --> 00:57:22,245
It vents.
557
00:57:48,167 --> 00:57:49,759
Now I'm stuck.
558
00:57:52,807 --> 00:57:55,241
I can't do this!
I don't want to die like this!
559
00:57:55,407 --> 00:57:58,558
- Mama!
- Jacob!
560
00:58:05,007 --> 00:58:09,000
The dancer stares into the sun,
sunup to sundown,
561
00:58:09,167 --> 00:58:12,284
moving with the sun,
dancing, tugging at his tether,
562
00:58:12,447 --> 00:58:14,244
pulling, twisting,
563
00:58:14,407 --> 00:58:17,558
trying to tear
the skewer through his skin,
564
00:58:19,207 --> 00:58:21,118
And when he sets himself free,
565
00:58:21,287 --> 00:58:23,357
he is reborn to the world,
566
00:58:23,527 --> 00:58:25,279
He lays on a bed of sage
567
00:58:25,447 --> 00:58:28,519
and recites his vision
to the holy man,
568
00:58:29,447 --> 00:58:33,076
If we'd never found this cave,
it'd be all over.
569
00:58:35,367 --> 00:58:37,676
But in here, like this,
we will die by inches,
570
00:58:37,847 --> 00:58:41,044
and nobody will ever hear from us
again, or know what happened.
571
00:58:42,367 --> 00:58:46,758
The Lord revealed the cave
as he sent a fish to save Jonah
572
00:58:47,167 --> 00:58:48,566
when Jonah was drowning.
573
00:58:48,727 --> 00:58:51,480
I don't need a sermon
when I'm so afeared!
574
00:58:51,767 --> 00:58:54,406
"The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom."
575
00:58:54,567 --> 00:58:56,558
Take hold of my boot
and move with me.
576
00:58:56,727 --> 00:58:58,763
The fish swallowed up Jonah.
577
00:58:58,927 --> 00:59:00,918
And Jonah did not know it was God
578
00:59:01,087 --> 00:59:03,442
who sent the fish to save him.
579
00:59:03,607 --> 00:59:05,438
And Jonah cried out
580
00:59:05,607 --> 00:59:07,837
to the Lord
from the belly of the beast,
581
00:59:08,007 --> 00:59:12,125
"Lord, I don't want to die like this!"
582
00:59:12,287 --> 00:59:13,879
Now let us pray Jonah's prayer.
583
00:59:14,047 --> 00:59:17,084
"I cried by reason
of mine affliction unto the Lord
584
00:59:17,247 --> 00:59:18,919
and He heard me.
585
00:59:19,087 --> 00:59:22,124
Out of the belly of hell cried I
and Thou heardest my voice."
586
00:59:22,287 --> 00:59:24,596
Now, repeat after me, Jacob.
587
00:59:24,767 --> 00:59:28,521
- I will sacrifice unto Thee...
- I will sacrifice unto Thee...
588
00:59:28,687 --> 00:59:32,123
...with a song of thanksgiving.
...with thanksgiving.
589
00:59:32,287 --> 00:59:36,963
- Salvation is of the Lord.
- Salvation is of the Lord.
590
01:00:11,007 --> 01:00:14,841
Loved by the Buffalo had seen
how a vision could kill its seeker,
591
01:00:15,007 --> 01:00:18,079
Now he, too,
had a terrible revelation,
592
01:00:20,607 --> 01:00:23,041
A wooden hoop and a stone hoop.
593
01:00:23,767 --> 01:00:24,961
Our medicine wheel.
594
01:00:25,927 --> 01:00:29,237
The wooden wheel
meets the stone wheel.
595
01:00:30,007 --> 01:00:32,043
And the wood breaks the stone.
596
01:00:33,327 --> 01:00:36,683
The vision is false.
597
01:00:39,087 --> 01:00:42,762
Wood does not
break stone.
598
01:00:43,367 --> 01:00:47,246
A trickster spirit...
599
01:00:47,607 --> 01:00:51,282
...has possessed
Loved by the Buffalo.
600
01:00:57,767 --> 01:01:01,760
The sickness of the spotted face
came to the Lakota,
601
01:01:01,927 --> 01:01:04,395
Some believed it came
from the white man,
602
01:01:04,567 --> 01:01:06,797
Some were not as certain,
603
01:01:07,567 --> 01:01:11,480
My father is also
near death with the pox.
604
01:01:13,967 --> 01:01:16,481
Bring Loved by the Buffalo.
605
01:01:20,087 --> 01:01:23,045
Be brave little brother.
606
01:01:24,727 --> 01:01:26,445
I'm going to get help.
607
01:01:26,607 --> 01:01:30,520
When Loved by the Buffalo fell ill,
Soaring Eagle told the people,,,
608
01:01:30,687 --> 01:01:31,676
Don't go.
609
01:01:31,847 --> 01:01:34,520
,,, it was Loved by the Buffalo
that brought the pox,
610
01:01:34,687 --> 01:01:36,245
Help me. Our brother is dying.
611
01:01:38,647 --> 01:01:41,445
We ask you to take the pox from us.
612
01:01:43,407 --> 01:01:44,601
Move!
613
01:01:45,927 --> 01:01:48,521
He told them to send the boy away,
614
01:01:48,687 --> 01:01:51,645
and only then
would the sickness leave,
615
01:01:56,407 --> 01:01:58,682
But deep inside his dark thoughts,
616
01:01:58,847 --> 01:02:02,157
he hoped the sickness
would take the boy,
617
01:02:34,247 --> 01:02:36,158
Have no fear.
618
01:02:39,447 --> 01:02:41,483
How are you here, Growling Bear?
619
01:02:42,407 --> 01:02:45,240
I am among the stars now.
620
01:02:46,007 --> 01:02:47,235
I come to say be strong.
621
01:02:48,087 --> 01:02:54,083
You were born to live a life
to help your people.
622
01:02:56,327 --> 01:02:58,602
Behold the future.
623
01:03:07,327 --> 01:03:10,205
Growling Bear made a song
to fight the sickness,
624
01:03:10,367 --> 01:03:14,042
He gave it to Loved by the Buffalo
to cure his brother Running Fox
625
01:03:14,207 --> 01:03:16,084
and any who believed,
626
01:03:54,607 --> 01:03:56,916
UTAH 1829
627
01:03:57,087 --> 01:03:59,920
Mr Smith and I
had stared death in the face
628
01:04:00,087 --> 01:04:01,759
and lived to tell the tale,
629
01:04:01,927 --> 01:04:04,760
We'd said our goodbyes
and gone our separate ways,
630
01:04:04,927 --> 01:04:06,838
I decided to attend the rendezvous
631
01:04:07,007 --> 01:04:10,158
that Mr Fletcher had spoken of
with such fondness,
632
01:05:04,327 --> 01:05:06,682
Rob any chicken coops lately?
633
01:05:07,327 --> 01:05:09,716
- Ben Franklin.
- Jacob Wheeler!
634
01:05:09,887 --> 01:05:12,003
- Ain't this some pumpkins.
- Look at you.
635
01:05:12,167 --> 01:05:14,203
Look at you!
Where the Sam Hill you been?
636
01:05:14,367 --> 01:05:16,927
I've been all over. Come here!
637
01:05:17,967 --> 01:05:20,640
I remember, I remember...
I'll never forget that.
638
01:05:20,807 --> 01:05:23,719
I've been treed by grizzly bears
and tracked by Blackfeet
639
01:05:23,887 --> 01:05:26,799
but never was so scared
as when I heard that farmer tell you
640
01:05:26,967 --> 01:05:30,039
about a reward
for a runaway slave, no, sir.
641
01:05:30,887 --> 01:05:33,879
I sat in that coop
waitin' for you to give me up.
642
01:05:35,247 --> 01:05:38,842
Sure 'nough... you never did.
643
01:05:39,727 --> 01:05:41,718
I thought about that
every day since.
644
01:05:42,527 --> 01:05:46,805
I want to give you a hundred
beaver pelts as a token of my thanks.
645
01:05:46,967 --> 01:05:48,798
Join us over here for a drink!
646
01:05:51,127 --> 01:05:53,516
Whiskey's just fine.
647
01:05:54,567 --> 01:05:55,795
Here!
648
01:05:56,447 --> 01:05:59,120
We've got a young Lakota girl.
649
01:05:59,287 --> 01:06:03,485
Her name is Thunder Heart Woman.
650
01:06:03,647 --> 01:06:07,720
She cooks and
she knows the fur trade.
651
01:06:09,287 --> 01:06:12,677
And she speaks good English.
652
01:06:13,567 --> 01:06:16,923
She's pleasant and agreeable.
653
01:06:18,247 --> 01:06:19,726
Well, sometimes.
654
01:06:22,727 --> 01:06:24,877
Biddin' starts at a hundred dollars.
655
01:06:25,047 --> 01:06:26,560
One hundred!
656
01:06:28,367 --> 01:06:29,595
What've we got here?
657
01:06:30,727 --> 01:06:32,399
Look here!
658
01:06:36,967 --> 01:06:39,925
Looks like love
at first sight to me!
659
01:06:40,087 --> 01:06:42,123
Well, I see
my old friend Johnny Fox
660
01:06:42,287 --> 01:06:44,517
survived another year
in the Sierra Nevada.
661
01:06:44,687 --> 01:06:47,042
All right, boys!
Anyone else in the bidding?
662
01:06:47,207 --> 01:06:48,322
Two hundred!
663
01:06:50,007 --> 01:06:51,725
Who's the greenhorn?
664
01:06:51,887 --> 01:06:54,082
- Three hundred.
- Four!
665
01:06:54,727 --> 01:06:56,445
Don't do it!
666
01:06:56,607 --> 01:06:59,485
Ben? You better talk to your friend.
667
01:06:59,647 --> 01:07:01,365
What is you thinkin'?
668
01:07:01,527 --> 01:07:04,041
Johnny Fox can whip
your weights in wild cats.
669
01:07:04,207 --> 01:07:06,402
You trying to buy a sister,
peach fuzz?
670
01:07:06,967 --> 01:07:09,527
Do you even know
what to do with her?
671
01:07:11,607 --> 01:07:15,077
I'm gonna set her free
and send her back to her people.
672
01:07:15,247 --> 01:07:17,283
Sets her free? Why?
673
01:07:18,207 --> 01:07:19,720
You of all people know why.
674
01:07:19,887 --> 01:07:22,720
If I thought different
you'd be back on that plantation.
675
01:07:28,447 --> 01:07:30,165
You backin' down?
676
01:07:33,007 --> 01:07:35,567
Not for flapjacks or French ladies.
677
01:07:36,727 --> 01:07:39,366
Then it's rifles at 20 paces.
678
01:07:44,607 --> 01:07:46,882
Look what you done
got yourself into now.
679
01:07:47,047 --> 01:07:49,481
Come on, little coward.
Come on!
680
01:08:02,527 --> 01:08:04,836
You keep on the move.
Even when reloadin'.
681
01:08:05,007 --> 01:08:06,725
Make yourself small.
682
01:08:06,887 --> 01:08:08,718
All right, lad.
683
01:08:10,447 --> 01:08:13,803
You will stand back-to-back,
with unloaded rifles.
684
01:08:13,967 --> 01:08:17,642
And after ten paces, well...
685
01:08:17,807 --> 01:08:19,843
...anything goes.
686
01:08:25,247 --> 01:08:27,636
One, two,
687
01:08:27,807 --> 01:08:30,958
three, four, five,
688
01:08:31,127 --> 01:08:35,086
six, seven, eight,
689
01:08:35,247 --> 01:08:37,761
nine, ten!
690
01:08:41,847 --> 01:08:43,678
- Come on, Jacob!
- Now, Jacob!
691
01:08:45,287 --> 01:08:46,720
Come on, Jacob.
692
01:08:48,807 --> 01:08:50,160
Now, Jacob! Now!
693
01:08:56,087 --> 01:08:58,203
You want more! Get your ear!
694
01:08:58,367 --> 01:09:00,085
Kill him!
695
01:09:03,367 --> 01:09:04,686
Come on!
696
01:09:07,207 --> 01:09:09,084
- My whiskey!
- Come on, Jacob!
697
01:09:10,847 --> 01:09:12,883
Time to go home, little boy.
698
01:09:13,047 --> 01:09:14,560
Time to go back to Mama.
699
01:09:15,807 --> 01:09:17,604
Johnny, quit messin' around!
700
01:09:19,287 --> 01:09:20,925
Thunder Heart Woman!
701
01:09:21,087 --> 01:09:24,045
Get ready to feel some
of Johnny Fox's lightning.
702
01:10:22,567 --> 01:10:25,001
Sold, boys!
703
01:10:29,967 --> 01:10:32,527
We must take out metal.
704
01:10:45,567 --> 01:10:47,159
Who are you?
705
01:10:48,887 --> 01:10:50,445
I'm Jacob Wheeler, ma'am.
706
01:11:15,407 --> 01:11:17,398
Well, now...
707
01:11:17,567 --> 01:11:21,685
By rights, this stuff is yours.
708
01:11:21,847 --> 01:11:24,202
Is there enough there
to cover what I owe you?
709
01:11:24,367 --> 01:11:25,356
Oh, yeah!
710
01:11:25,527 --> 01:11:27,119
And then some.
711
01:11:29,247 --> 01:11:30,362
What's so funny?
712
01:11:31,927 --> 01:11:36,478
A true Southern gentleman seein'
a lady to her daddy's front door.
713
01:11:36,647 --> 01:11:38,285
Even if it is a thousand miles
714
01:11:38,447 --> 01:11:41,484
across Cheyenne,
Crow and Blackfoot country.
715
01:11:42,287 --> 01:11:44,801
A great man once told me
716
01:11:44,967 --> 01:11:48,323
that the West is just a place
on the map, not a way to live.
717
01:11:51,887 --> 01:11:53,002
Benjamin.
718
01:11:53,167 --> 01:11:54,759
You take care. Ma'am.
719
01:12:28,047 --> 01:12:29,605
What's wrong?
720
01:12:33,447 --> 01:12:37,360
I have... baby...
721
01:12:37,527 --> 01:12:39,518
...somewhere on earth.
722
01:12:42,007 --> 01:12:43,998
Crow took her.
723
01:12:45,487 --> 01:12:48,445
I pray she is not yet on Ghost Path.
724
01:12:50,687 --> 01:12:52,837
Where spirits go.
725
01:13:14,727 --> 01:13:18,083
Thirty beaver skins.
726
01:13:22,007 --> 01:13:25,556
Running Fox, what is that?
727
01:13:25,887 --> 01:13:28,037
It was only thirty beaver skins.
728
01:13:28,567 --> 01:13:31,718
Can you eat it?
729
01:13:38,127 --> 01:13:40,436
This is the white man's junk.
730
01:13:47,207 --> 01:13:48,606
This is no good.
731
01:13:54,167 --> 01:13:58,001
This is the hoop of wood
I saw in my vision.
732
01:13:58,967 --> 01:14:01,527
So it's all true?
733
01:14:04,047 --> 01:14:08,962
How do I know that you are not the
trickster leading me into madness?
734
01:14:09,687 --> 01:14:12,963
Give me a sign that you are true.
735
01:14:14,327 --> 01:14:20,323
Need for a sign is for
the weak of faith.
736
01:14:26,607 --> 01:14:32,603
You tell me that I was born
to walk a holy path.
737
01:14:34,327 --> 01:14:40,323
But how will I do that when
Soaring Eagle aims to kill me?
738
01:14:42,887 --> 01:14:47,563
Perhaps you must leave the village.
739
01:14:48,327 --> 01:14:50,761
I don't want to leave.
Take this burden from me.
740
01:14:50,967 --> 01:14:54,880
Give it to someone else.
I want to stay.
741
01:15:00,287 --> 01:15:06,283
You must leave your family
and seek your vision.
742
01:15:08,727 --> 01:15:11,195
I don't understand.
743
01:15:19,367 --> 01:15:20,880
Jacob.
744
01:15:22,527 --> 01:15:24,483
Jacob!
745
01:15:59,287 --> 01:16:03,280
Loved by the Buffalo knew he had
been given the sign he asked for,
746
01:16:03,447 --> 01:16:05,961
He no longer questioned his sanity,
747
01:16:06,127 --> 01:16:09,881
and understood
that Wakan Tanka was guiding him,
748
01:16:27,527 --> 01:16:29,358
It's Heyoka.
749
01:16:29,527 --> 01:16:32,963
Heyoka makes us see Wakan Tanka.
Makes us laugh.
750
01:16:33,127 --> 01:16:37,917
Arriving in Thunder Heart Woman's
village was like stepping into a dream,
751
01:17:03,287 --> 01:17:06,120
I had looked to find
my destiny in California,
752
01:17:06,287 --> 01:17:08,642
But it was in this place,
among these people,
753
01:17:08,807 --> 01:17:12,561
that my life was to take a course
I had never imagined,
754
01:17:13,807 --> 01:17:15,718
I could not understand their words,
755
01:17:15,887 --> 01:17:19,675
but I could see the love
for a long-lost daughter and sister,
756
01:17:19,847 --> 01:17:22,645
and feel her relief in their embrace,
757
01:17:33,927 --> 01:17:35,997
She told them about her captivity,
758
01:17:36,167 --> 01:17:37,964
the fight with Johnny Fox,
759
01:17:38,127 --> 01:17:40,004
how I had risked my life to free her,
760
01:17:40,927 --> 01:17:45,284
I thought I understood her to say
the spirits had brought us together,
761
01:17:45,447 --> 01:17:47,199
and I figured, well,
762
01:17:47,367 --> 01:17:49,801
she must have been right about that,
763
01:17:58,367 --> 01:18:02,326
My father offers his possessions.
764
01:18:03,327 --> 01:18:05,887
Well, tell him
I just want to marry you.
765
01:18:08,287 --> 01:18:13,441
Sometimes, two people
go to wilderness for two weeks.
766
01:18:13,607 --> 01:18:17,566
And they return,
as husband and wife.
767
01:18:21,167 --> 01:18:23,442
We kinda already did that.
768
01:18:56,407 --> 01:18:59,001
This is making of relatives.
769
01:19:00,207 --> 01:19:02,402
Take small bite.
770
01:19:14,607 --> 01:19:17,565
This meat, I place in mouth.
771
01:19:18,687 --> 01:19:20,086
From this day,
772
01:19:20,247 --> 01:19:23,159
my home, your home.
773
01:19:23,327 --> 01:19:26,046
And you, his son.
774
01:19:31,087 --> 01:19:33,647
At first I didn't understand
the pain in my heart
775
01:19:33,807 --> 01:19:35,559
for Thunder Heart Woman,
776
01:19:35,727 --> 01:19:37,240
Then it hit me,
777
01:19:37,407 --> 01:19:39,398
Her family was making me a relative
778
01:19:39,567 --> 01:19:43,526
while I know full well my folks
would never do the same for her,
779
01:19:43,687 --> 01:19:45,882
They'd call her a savage,,,
780
01:19:46,047 --> 01:19:48,163
,,, soulless heathen,
781
01:19:48,327 --> 01:19:50,795
Why do I feel so at home
here among these people?
782
01:19:50,967 --> 01:19:53,640
Daquessen,
783
01:20:02,887 --> 01:20:04,286
Grab the wheel. It's heavy.
784
01:20:13,207 --> 01:20:14,322
Help me unwrap it.
785
01:20:15,367 --> 01:20:17,722
Take the rope off.
786
01:20:17,887 --> 01:20:21,118
This wheel will make my life easier.
787
01:20:22,127 --> 01:20:27,485
Easier to dirty our camps
with more white man things.
788
01:20:28,567 --> 01:20:31,718
You will always want more and more.
789
01:20:32,407 --> 01:20:34,762
Enough!
790
01:20:37,127 --> 01:20:38,526
Take the rope off.
791
01:20:38,687 --> 01:20:39,881
Like that...
792
01:20:40,047 --> 01:20:42,481
Then you go around, just like that.
793
01:20:46,527 --> 01:20:48,597
We can save the rope.
794
01:20:51,167 --> 01:20:53,476
When I saw Loved by the Buffalo,
795
01:20:53,647 --> 01:20:55,717
I could not escape
the strange sensation
796
01:20:55,887 --> 01:20:59,118
that I knew him and he knew me,
797
01:20:59,287 --> 01:21:01,755
Jacob is a relative.
798
01:21:04,287 --> 01:21:05,879
He saw my scar,
799
01:21:06,727 --> 01:21:09,366
And I saw his
and I imagined the force of the beast
800
01:21:09,527 --> 01:21:12,485
that thrust its head in his chest,
801
01:21:26,727 --> 01:21:29,924
In the wheel,
Loved by the Buffalo saw the threat,
802
01:21:30,087 --> 01:21:33,477
the danger coming from the
people of the wooden wheel,
803
01:21:33,647 --> 01:21:35,877
but he could not say why,
804
01:21:38,847 --> 01:21:42,157
And he began to understand
what Growling Bear meant:
805
01:21:42,327 --> 01:21:46,081
The webs made
by spiders to catch flies,
806
01:21:46,247 --> 01:21:50,923
Something would entangle
the Lakota in a time yet to come,
807
01:22:02,127 --> 01:22:04,846
You trick the iron
to subdue the wood.
808
01:22:05,007 --> 01:22:07,475
Your magic wrongs Wakan Tanka.
809
01:22:11,087 --> 01:22:15,205
Does your God give
you the wheel of wood and iron?
810
01:22:15,367 --> 01:22:17,483
No, no, just
the intelligence to make it.
811
01:22:17,887 --> 01:22:21,243
He will show you a wheel
made by Wakan Tanka.
812
01:22:37,727 --> 01:22:41,515
Great Spirit gives one gift at birth.
813
01:22:44,687 --> 01:22:49,238
We are born, somewhere,
on the medicine wheel.
814
01:22:49,407 --> 01:22:52,604
We are born
with one of the great powers.
815
01:22:53,487 --> 01:22:55,557
Wisdom,
816
01:22:55,727 --> 01:22:58,082
strength,
817
01:22:58,247 --> 01:23:00,124
big heart,
818
01:23:00,287 --> 01:23:01,879
braveness.
819
01:23:02,047 --> 01:23:05,722
Loved by the Buffalo left me
wondering what I was born with
820
01:23:05,887 --> 01:23:09,960
and what I had yet
to acquire on the wheel,
821
01:23:10,127 --> 01:23:14,678
I would spend most of my life
looking for the answer,
822
01:23:20,127 --> 01:23:22,516
There is big medicine
in the tricking of the iron.
823
01:23:23,047 --> 01:23:26,244
The white man would steal
the power of Wakan Tanka.
824
01:23:27,727 --> 01:23:28,762
Yes.
825
01:23:29,527 --> 01:23:32,405
If the white man has
the power of Wakan Tanka...
826
01:23:32,767 --> 01:23:36,840
...your vision will come to pass,
our ways destroyed.
827
01:23:37,447 --> 01:23:40,280
Can your vision be changed?
828
01:23:42,247 --> 01:23:45,876
You must never stop trying.
829
01:23:46,767 --> 01:23:49,122
That is not what I asked.
830
01:23:59,607 --> 01:24:01,757
The time had come to move the camp,
831
01:24:02,607 --> 01:24:06,282
The grandparents of Thunder Heart
Woman chose to remain behind,
832
01:24:06,447 --> 01:24:09,484
to make their final journey together,
833
01:24:09,647 --> 01:24:11,603
Why? Why can't she come with us?
834
01:24:12,407 --> 01:24:14,443
She will not leave her husband.
835
01:24:20,247 --> 01:24:22,920
We must respect their wishes.
836
01:25:09,967 --> 01:25:13,880
For the first time I stood in awe
of everything that God made,
837
01:25:14,047 --> 01:25:17,676
I couldn't look at a tree anymore
and see so many board feet of timber,
838
01:25:17,847 --> 01:25:20,759
Couldn't look at a beaver lodge
and see so many pelts,
839
01:25:20,927 --> 01:25:23,646
Now, I saw little miracles,
840
01:25:25,207 --> 01:25:28,085
We had the wheel that
takes you from here to there,
841
01:25:28,247 --> 01:25:32,126
But they have a wheel
that takes you to the stars,
842
01:25:35,647 --> 01:25:37,319
We had a good life.
843
01:25:37,887 --> 01:25:40,959
The circle is now complete.
844
01:25:55,247 --> 01:25:58,319
Soaring Eagle knew
he had lost his place,
845
01:25:58,487 --> 01:26:03,277
For the first time in his life,
he knew the true meaning of fear,
846
01:26:05,847 --> 01:26:08,486
And Loved by the Buffalo
left his family,
847
01:26:08,647 --> 01:26:11,480
so that he might live
for all the people,
848
01:26:11,647 --> 01:26:14,241
This was the price of his gift,
849
01:26:14,407 --> 01:26:17,479
to pursue his journey
to change the terrible vision
850
01:26:17,647 --> 01:26:19,285
of Growling Bear,
