412

00:
38:35,183 -- 00:38:37,947

Captain needs me to translate

this before tonight's reconnaissance

413

00:
38:38,019 -- 00:38:40,886

- Alfred will want to see you

- I'll be there

414

00:
38:40,956 -- 00:38:43,049

- Yeah?

- Go on

415

00:
39:05,579 -- 00:39:07,672

Where's Samuel?

416

00:
39:07,748 -- 00:39:09,842

He's translating

He'll be here

417

00:
39:09,917 -- 00:39:12,182

Boy, that's a good one

418

00:
39:12,253 -- 00:39:14,721

- Vino?

- Put that away

419

00:
39:19,593 -- 00:39:22,858

- They said you'll get a medal

- Yes

420

00:
39:22,930 -- 00:39:26,525

- They're sending me home

- I'm glad for you

421

00:
39:26,600 -- 00:39:28,831

I'm an officer

I belong with my men

422

00:
39:28,903 -- 00:39:30,233

Horseshit

423

00:
39:30,304 -- 00:39:33,035

What's left of them

424

00:
39:33,108 -- 00:39:36,042

MacKenzie was just brought in

His leg's turned bad

425

00:
39:36,111 -- 00:39:38,812

- He said...

- What?

426

00:
39:38,812 -- 00:39:39,335

- He said...

- What?

427

00:
39:40,614 -- 00:39:42,104

What is it?

428

00:
39:42,182 -- 00:39:45,845

He said your brother volunteered

to take his place

429

00:
39:45,919 -- 00:39:47,887

on the reconnaissance

with the Capitan

430

00:
39:47,955 -- 00:39:51,118

Goddamn it!

I told you to stay with him!

431

00:
42:42,661 -- 00:42:45,358

- I'm here!

- Where? I can't see

432

00:
42:47,366 -- 00:42:49,027

I can't move!

433

00:
42:53,238 -- 00:42:54,899

I'm coming!

434

00:
43:19,798 -- 00:43:22,666

I got you now

435

00:
43:23,902 -- 00:43:26,928

I got you

You're doing good

436

00:
43:28,340 -- 00:43:29,774

We're going home

437

00:
44:03,274 -- 00:44:05,140

God, no!

438

00:
44:48,152 -- 00:44:51,349

Goddamn you, God!

439

00:
46:59,549 -- 00:47:01,141

Tristan, it's me

440

00:
47:06,590 -- 00:47:10,150

March 20, 1915

441

00:
47:10,226 -- 00:47:12,660

Dear Father and Susannah:

442

00:
47:12,728 -- 00:47:17,324

I am being discharged from the Army,

but I cannot come home yet

443

00:
47:17,400 -- 00:47:19,994

I will write to Grandfather Ludlow

in Cornwall

444

00:
47:20,070 -- 00:47:22,299

and ask him to let me join him

and go to sea

445

00:
47:23,807 -- 00:47:26,502

As for our beloved Samuel

446

00:
47:26,576 -- 00:47:29,044

all I can send home

is his heart

447

00:
47:29,112 -- 00:47:31,046

Alfred will bring it back

448

00:
47:33,082 -- 00:47:36,347

He should be buried

up in the box canyon

449

00:
47:36,419 -- 00:47:38,683

where he used

to draw the birds

450

00:
47:39,755 -- 00:47:42,657

Your son, Tristan

451

00:
47:59,275 -- 00:48:01,144

He certainly was the best

of all of us, wasn't he?

452

00:
48:01,144 -- 00:48:03,374

He certainly was the best

of all of us, wasn't he?

453

00:
48:09,584 -- 00:48:11,018

Good night

454

00:
48:26,801 -- 00:48:29,292

What you saw

before Samuel left...

455

00:
48:31,140 -- 00:48:33,233

Please, don't...

456

00:
48:33,309 -- 00:48:35,243

No, I want to

457

00:
48:41,816 -- 00:48:43,444

It is Samuel I loved

458

00:
48:45,820 -- 00:48:47,879

All right

459

00:
48:53,628 -- 00:48:55,893

Tristan will be back someday

460

00:
48:59,834 -- 00:49:01,324

Your father will be pleased

461

00:
49:08,009 -- 00:49:12,106

Susannah was to return to Boston

on the morning train

462

00:
49:12,181 -- 00:49:14,614

but a norther blew

for three days

463

00:
49:14,683 -- 00:49:16,776

and drifted over the tracks

464

00:
49:16,851 -- 00:49:22,289

The Colonel insisted

she stay on until spring

465

00:
49:23,358 -- 00:49:27,021

The house was too empty,

he said

466

00:
49:27,095 -- 00:49:30,622

This was still her home,

he told her

467

00:
49:33,702 -- 00:49:36,136

He should have let her go

468

00:
49:36,204 -- 00:49:40,004

But how could he have known

what would happen?

469

00:
49:44,879 -- 00:49:47,541

She was not to blame

470

00:
49:47,616 -- 00:49:51,484

She was like the water

that freezes in the rock

471

00:
49:51,553 -- 00:49:53,817

and splits it apart

472

00:
49:55,557 -- 00:49:59,959

It was no more her fault

than it is the fault of the water

473

00:
50:00,028 -- 00:50:02,656

when the rock shatters

474

00:
50:13,575 -- 00:50:15,509

You know how much l...

475

00:
50:16,910 -- 00:50:18,845

You know how much

I loved Samuel

476

00:
50:19,948 -- 00:50:23,543

And I think you know...

477

00:
50:32,427 -- 00:50:35,190

Out of respect for him,

I wanted to say it in this place

478

00:
50:35,262 -- 00:50:38,026

I think you know that

479

00:
50:40,969 -- 00:50:42,401

I'm in love with you

480

00:
50:45,073 -- 00:50:48,041

From the first moment

I saw you

481

00:
50:48,108 -- 00:50:50,202

like in a novel

482

00:
50:56,451 -- 00:51:01,946

That's my mother's overblown

romantic imagination coming out in me

483

00:
51:09,697 -- 00:51:12,723

You're not making this

very easy for me

484

00:
51:13,967 -- 00:51:15,628

Sorry

485

00:
51:16,970 -- 00:51:20,963

Is there any hope

that you could learn to love me?

486

00:
51:23,377 -- 00:51:25,743

Not the way you love Samuel,

of course

487

00:
51:25,813 -- 00:51:29,749

but enough to...

488

00:
51:33,520 -- 00:51:35,750

We could make a life together

489

00:
51:36,990 -- 00:51:38,422

A happy life

490

00:
51:43,163 -- 00:51:44,824

I don't think so

491

00:
51:49,335 -- 00:51:53,067

Sounds like you're not sure, though

Maybe there's a chance?

492

00:
51:59,680 -- 00:52:04,275

- What?

- I can only cause you pain, Alfred

493

00:
52:06,687 -- 00:52:09,247

Why don't you let me

be the judge of that?

494

00:
52:19,533 -- 00:52:21,967

I didn't break it,

but I can fix it

495

00:
52:22,034 -- 00:52:25,470

I can put the damn wheel back on

and take it off myself

496

00:
52:25,539 -- 00:52:27,472

Go take a nap

497

00:
52:40,052 -- 00:52:42,179

- What?

- Look!

498

00:
53:28,401 -- 00:53:30,699

I'm going into town if...

499

00:
54:13,678 -- 00:54:15,646

Welcome home, son

500

00:
55:29,387 -- 00:55:32,480

I couldn't save him

501

00:
55:32,557 -- 00:55:34,990

Of course you couldn't

502

00:
55:46,404 -- 00:55:47,836

It's all right

503

00:
56:16,934 -- 00:56:19,369

Have a nice ride today?

504

00:
56:31,448 -- 00:56:33,382

Excuse me, Father

505

00:
56:54,506 -- 00:56:56,063

Tristan, please

506

00:
58:02,372 -- 00:58:05,465

When are you planning

to be married?

507

00:
58:05,542 -- 00:58:07,305

Good morning

508

00:
58:12,715 -- 00:58:14,273

Damn you

509

00:
58:14,350 -- 00:58:16,784

You will marry her

510

00:
58:17,755 -- 00:58:20,814

- Make an honest woman of her?

- Yes!

511

00:
58:23,059 -- 00:58:25,153

God damn you to hell

512

00:
58:26,396 -- 00:58:29,455

Yes, I will marry her,

if she'll have me

513

00:
58:29,532 -- 00:58:31,524

If she'll have you?

514

00:
58:35,571 -- 00:58:37,506

Do you love her?

515

00:
58:39,742 -- 00:58:42,905

Or did you seduce her

just to spite me?

516

00:
58:42,979 -- 00:58:44,640

That's not what I did

517

00:
58:45,748 -- 00:58:49,081

- What about Samuel?

- What?
