Your body is rotten.

Need to heal.

You could die.

Yeah! There she is.

We did it.

You ought to be proud of yourself, boy.

Yeah.

We followed orders.

We just skipped the funeral part.

Don't go down there

and start growing no conscience.

'Cause sure as night'll come they'll have us

swinging from a couple ropes.

We did what we had to do.

We had the extra day

so we managed to dig...

...a little deeper, lay rocks on top

so scavengers couldn't get at him.

It was done right and all.

He was buried right.

-Sir, can we--

-The truth is that...

...when Hawk disappeared,

I was worried about savages.

And I was ready to get, to move on out.

Yeah, but, Bridger here argued to stay.

He argued to stay...

...so he could at least

build a cross or something...

...to put on top of Glass's grave,

and that's what he did. That's what we did.

I'm glad

you pulled your weight, Mr. Bridger.

He more than pulled his weight, Captain.

This man here, he was my partner.

Am I to assume that

the agreed arrangement did not change?

Fortunately for me, it did not.

Thank you...

...for your courage, honor, and service.

Deal or no deal, Mr. Bridger,

you deserve something for what you did.

Thank you.

Kid's been beating himself up

awful bad the whole trip.

We all saw the shape Glass was in.

There was no more to be done. Right?

Yeah.

We all saw him.

When there is a storm...

And you stand in front of a tree...

If you look at its branches, you swear it will fall.

But if you watch the trunk, you will see its stability.

There are traces of a camp...

There are traces of a camp...

Where?

Entering the moon forest.

Maybe from two days ago. They are moving east.

Tell the others.

Let's move quickly, Powaqa could be with them!

Bring me the girl...

Those five horses weren't for free.

Don't make a sound.

I will get a horse.

I'll cut off your balls.

Where is Toussaint?

Come here...

-May I join you?

-Yes.

-Yeah?

-Yes.

I was wondering when we might be

getting paid for that haul.

'Cause them pelts we collected

are still out there, you know...

...under a couple foot of dirt and snow.

But that ain't my fault.

I'm waiting for Captain Leavenworth

to arrive with his army.

Then we'll have enough men...

...to shoot some civilization into

those f***ing Arikara and get back our pelts.

All right. All right.

When's that supposed to happen?

I don't know.

But until then, nobody gets paid.

Listen here, all right?

I was hired to trap 'em.

I wasn't hired to guard 'em.

The way I see it, now you, you got a safe.

It's probably full of money.

You signed a contract to protect your boss

and your boss's property.

And that safe isn't full anymore.

It's short about $300.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means, according to my records...

...you purchased more goods on the expedition

than what you are owed by the company.

Now, Happy New Year, Fitzgerald.

Fryman! White man at the gate!

Speak English.

I have no weapon.

Open her up!

Get the Captain!

Where are your men?

All dead.

Who was he?

I don't know. Something to eat, please?

Food comes at a price.

-I have no money.

-Then you don't eat.

Give back some of them stolen pelts

you buy from the Injuns.

Not now, Jones.

Silver. How is this? Silver.

This all you got?

We was nine.

My friend, he die in the snow.

And the other was...

...kill by wolf. I see it.

By wolf, yeah, kill.

Where'd you get this?

Canteen.

He drop it. He kill Toussaint, he drop it--

-Who? Who?

-I don't know. I don't see.

It could be Hawk.

Yeah, could be.

That half-breed runt

couldn't steal no horse.

-Maybe it was Weston.

-Or Beckett.

How far from here?

Thirty mile. Northwest, near the Yellowstone.

The Yellowstone!

Get the horses saddled. Torches and supplies.

Ten dollars a man.

Anderson, you stay here.

Yes, sir. Feed him and watch him.

I'll get you a drink.

When we get to the Yellowstone,

we split into two groups!

Hawk!

Hawk, you out there?

Keep your guard up!

Eyes in front!

Who are you?

Beckett? Is that you?

Glass?

Glass!

Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ, what happened?

Where is he?

Jones, take him. Go.

I'm riding ahead. Bill, take Bridger.

Take Bridger!

-Have you seen Fitzgerald?

-No, sir.

Get up. Get up!

-You seen Fitzgerald?

-No, sir.

Fitzgerald?

Whoa, easy.

Where did he go?

-Who?

-Fitzgerald. Where did he go?

-I have no idea.

-Tell me or I'll take your head off.

I swear to God--

Tell me. Tell me!

Texas!

He said he was going to Texas.

He said he was gonna reenlist.

Then he started talking about property.

"A decent piece of land."

He's heading for Texas. That's all I know.

Stay here.

Fitzgerald!

Fitzgerald!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

Jones! Get the Captain!

-Fryman!

-Open the gate!

Open it up!

Murphy, get the Captain.

Get him to the doctor. Now!

You said he was dead!

You said he was dead!

I thought he was, I swear!

-He lied to me!

-You're a liar.

You left him out there!

Say the Lord's Prayer.

Say the Lord's Prayer!

Our Father, Who art in heaven.

Who art-- I can't!

Shut up! Shut up!

From here out,

you're a prisoner charged with treason!

Take him to the cage! Take him to the cage

or you'll hang alongside him!

I thought he was gonna die!

Fitz lied to me!

I couldn't help him!

Glass!

Fitz lied to me!

How is he?

He'll be fine, but there is swelling.

He needs to rest.

I'll be back to check up on him.

He ran off, didn't he?

Bridger's telling the truth.

How's that?

Fitzgerald lied to him.

He was just following orders.

He wasn't there

when Fitzgerald stabbed my boy to death.

Is that what happened?

He killed Hawk.

I need a horse and gun.

No, you need to rest and eat.

I'm going after him.

No.

You'll never find him without me.

If we wait till morning he'll get away.

No, he won't.

He's afraid.

He knows how far I came for him.

Same as that elk. When they get afraid,

they run deep into the woods.

I got him trapped.

He just doesn't know it yet.

How can you be so sure?

'Cause he has everything to lose.

All I had was that boy.

And he took him away from me.

I can't let you go back out there.

Not again.

I ain't afraid to die anymore.

I done it already.

I'm going with you.

That's his horse, all right.

No way he could've ridden him

through the night.

How far ahead?

Half a day at the most.

Could be Ree.

If they aren't his, we lose him.

Unless he reenlisted

so he could justify killing again...

...these tracks right here are his.

I can't remember my wife's face.

Last week, she was still with me.

Now she's gone.

I worry I won't recognize her

when I get back home.

Is it true you killed an officer?

I just killed the man

who was trying to kill my son.

Smoke.

How close?

No more than a mile up that way.

I'm gonna head up to the west.

You go down to the east.

Let's see if we can find some tracks.

And if it's the Ree?

If it's the Ree, you turn right back around

and meet me back here.

Now, I wouldn't expect to find a man
