When was it?

Goddamn it, will you quit that noise now,

will you?

Quit it.

I'm falling further back from Henry

and the boys on account of tending to you.

Got to get up the damn mountain,

but winter keeps chasing us down.

If you ready to take the sacrament...

...I can do that for you.

What you holding to, Glass?

You know...

...it would be better...

...if you were to take that

last breath of yours now...for all of us.

Now you hung tough.

And that's something.

I'm begging you.

Them Ree are so close I can smell 'em.

You can smell 'em, too.

You got to think of your boy. All right?

'Cause you're gonna kill him.

You'll kill us all.

I can muzzle you if you like.

Take away this suffering quick and easy.

No one ever has to know that you give up.

All you have to do is blink

if you want me to do that.

Save your boy and blink.

You just have to blink.

Yeah. There it is.

You'd best hope the good Lord'll

get His ass here quick, huh?

Maybe He'll forgive your sins, maybe not.

Thus I do commend thee to the Lord.

Through Jesus Christ the Lord

of all reality and mercy...

...and the Father and the Creator,

I hold thee--

Get away! Get away!

You okay? Jim! Jim! Help!

Help!

Calm down.

Jim! Help!

Don't shout! You're gonna get us all killed!

Keep away! I'll tell the Captain

what you did. They'll hang you!

-They'll hang you! Jim, help!

-We have an understanding.

What's f***ing wrong with you people?

Sh*t.

I got one beaver, Hawk.

Breathing changed?

I hadn't noticed.

Damn, he's cold as ice.

Here you go, Mr. Glass.

This will help you. Keep you warm.

It's all right.

Where's Hawk?

He ain't with you?

No.

No?

I understand, Mr. Glass.

It's all right.

I think I'll get a fire going.

Yeah. Sounds like a good idea.

Hawk!

Hawk!

Ree.

There's about 20 of them

down by the creek.

They're headed this way.

Grab your sh*t and let's go.

Sh*t. What do we do?

Run, right now.

-What about Hawk?

-He ain't our problem no more.

We can't just leave him.

Either he's gutted or scalped.

And if he ain't he can find us, can't he?

What about Glass?

He ain't our problem.

Like us, he's on his own.

We made a promise to the Captain.

A proper burial when the time was needed.

He needs that rifle!

He couldn't do nothing with it

if you tarred it to his hand.

We can't do this.

We got no f***ing choice.

No, we can't. Look at him.

All right, sh*t, then, buddy. Get him up.

You want to take him?

Come on now!

Easy. Slowly, Fitz. Easy with him.

Just get your sh*t.

Get your sh*t!

Shut up.

Shut up!

Hold up!

Fitz. What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Proper burial. Like you wanted.

No, not like this.

Why not?

He's alive, Fitz. He's alive.

So shoot him.

I have to go. I have to go.

I'm sorry, Mr. Glass. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Captain! This way!

There's a path down here!

There ain't sh*t down there!

We got to climb over!

-Glass said to stay east!

-Glass can go to hell!

What's the map say?

Keep climbing. We climb, Captain.

We keep climbing.

Till we reach Old Gabe.

We climb.

We got to wait for Murph.

You wait for him.

Captain?

Sir...

...Murphy says there's a way down there.

Who we following?

You follow who you want! I'm going up!

Stubby, keep going up!

Murph! Come here!

I'm not leaving you, son.

I'm right here.

Fire's done.

I can't even feel my feet.

Didn't we put enough distance

between us and them Ree?

A dozen Ree can make twice as good time

as we can.

-Twenty.

-What?

You said you saw twenty Ree.

What you talking about?

You woke me up.

You said you saw twenty Ree by the creek.

Well, twenty, a dozen...

...it don't matter. I wasn't gonna hang around

counting f***ing feathers.

As a matter of fact...

...what was you doing down by the creek

all by yourself?

I'd already brought up plenty of water.

Answer me, Fitzgerald.

I asked you a question.

Don't question me

on account of you feel guilty.

Answer me or I'll blow your head off.

You got a short-term memory, boy.

Your ass would be floating around

the Missouri right now if it wasn't for me.

You want to ask questions?

What you want to ask?

If you want to know, ask it.

You want to know why you left Mr. Glass

back there for dead?

Or why you left your little boyfriend

running around?

You want to know if he's still alive?

I'll tell you why.

It's 'cause you ain't a man yet.

It's 'cause you was scared shitless.

You're scared now.

The Ree.

What of them?

Tell me, did you see 'em?

-Put your rifle down.

-Did you see the Ree?

No.

Not a single one.

You f***ing lied to me? You lied to me!

I had to scare some sense into you, boy.

Glass was dead.

Hawk we don't know about.

No point in either of us dying either,

you understand?

The way I see it, I saved your life twice now.

I ought to be God to you.

And God giveth...and God taketh away.

Lucky f***er.

Next time you want to shoot somebody...

...you might want to use powder,

prime your rifle.

Come on. Let's git. Grab your sh*t.

Fresh blood. This could be Powaqa.

A dead boy.

A Pawnee boy.

Let's go.

Who did this?

I don't know.

Could be Captain Leavenworth's boys.

Put some eyes on the back of your head.

These Injuns ain't never as dead

as you think they are.

Look at 'em.

They're always stealing our sh*t.

We got horses over here!

Bridger.

We got horses!

What you want to do about these pigs?

The Lord's on our side, kid.

You all right there, kid?

Your head in the right place?

I guess.

I can't help thinking about

whether we did the right--

Ain't our place to wonder.

The good Lord...

...got us on a road

whether we choose it or not.

My pop, he weren't a religious man,

you know?

If you couldn't grow it, kill it, or eat it,

he just plain old didn't believe in it.

And this one time he head on up

the old Saba hills. San Saba hills?

He joined a couple Texas Ranger buddies

of his to hunt.

Pretty routine. He done it

like a hundred times before.

Should have been a 3-day kill,

but on the second day, it all went f***ed.

Somehow that night he lost his buddies.

And to top it off...

...them Comanches

went and took the horses.

So he was starving and delirious...

...and he crawls up into this mott, this...

...group of trees out in the middle of nowhere

just sticking up in this ocean of scrub...

...and he found religion.

At that moment, he told me...

...he found God.

And it turns out that God...

...He's a squirrel.

Yea. A big, old meaty one.

"I found God," he used to say.

"And while sitting there and basking

in the glory and sublimity of mercy..."

"...I shot and ate that son of a b*tch."

Yeah. You might want to

close your eyes, kid.

I'm injured.

What happened to you?

A bear.

A bear.

Grizzly.

Grizzly.

My men... left me for dead.

Killed my son.

I lost my family too.

Sioux killed my people.

I'm going south to find more Pawnee.

My heart bleeds...

But revenge is in the creator's hands.

You will ride with me...
