There is a confession of faith on their money!

This is a good and God-fearing

country we have arrived in.

We should thank the Lord we have been

able to come here.

-Aren't you going to eat?

-We don't have anything more to eat.

-If bread is good enough for you.

-Thank you !

If there are no delays we will

be in Buffalo by the morning.

The look almost like the nobility at home.

I've told you that people aren't separated into

nobility and commoners over here.

I only said they weren't segregated

into different places.

There are those who are doing well, and. . .

There are two different kinds of people in America.

Those who have lived here long enough to get rich,-

-and the new arrivals,

who haven't had time to get rich yet.

To think they got to sea when they don't have to.

Now I've found out the truth,

and you owe us some answers.

-You've tricked us.

-What are you accusing me of?

-You said we were travelling 250 miles.

-That's what the captain on the Charlotta told me.

Our interpreter has told us we're going 1500 miles.

And he doesn't lie.

But you lie. You lying c*nt!

Here we sail across one ocean after another

All because we trust you.

Are you accusing me. . .? You old. . .

Just say. The whole word. Say it!

You old slut!

Calm down ! You are both right.

American miles are shorter than Swedish miles.

There are six American miles to every Swedish.

If there are others who think I have

misled you, then step forward.

-Be quiet now.

-No, I want to know the truth.

I haven't asked you all to follow

me to Minnesota.

I haven't asked to lead you.

You can settle wherever you want.

-Shake hands now.

-Didn't you hear what he called me!

-You called me a liar.

-Shake hands now.

-Shake hands.

-Ulrika !

You know we trust you.

And that we all owe you.

I can't take 'merry' any longer.

She belongs to Danjel's family

and she's good with children.

I like her better now that we have arrived.

Danjel said they have done her an injustice.

That she was sold at an auction when she was little

She's furious cause she hasn't had a man in a while

She should have a stake in her,

as long as it was barked.

all aboard !

Isn't little-Marta with you?

No. Isn't she aboard the boat?

Are you sure?

I thought she was with you.

The child is left ashore!

-Marta ! Marta !

-Karl Oskar!

-What's happened?

-Is Marta there?

No, I haven't seen her.

Marta ! Little-Marta !

Marta !

Little-Marta !

Have you seen my daughter?

She is so small. Please!

Marta !

Little-Marta !

She's not here. Marta !

You let her go. She's fallen in the lake!

-Where is she?! Marta !

-The boat is leaving.

-We can't just leave her.

-What about the other kids!

Wait, good people!

Little-Marta. . . Little-Marta is left behind !

-hurry up, lady!

-We have to look for her!

Wait! Wait!

Hurry up!

get that plank up.

She was down on the beach playing with the shells.

She was having so much fun,

I could hardly get her to come along.

-What did you say the disease was called?

-Cholera.

It just comes up again.

Did you get anything else?

No bread or anything?

We should be wary of the ships food.

The disease could come from there.

Put it away,

where no one can see it, Robert.

We must buy milk!

Lord. . . you have said I should have no

other Gods but you.

But I worshiped my daughter. And now

you've taken my idol away from me.

I thank you my lord and saviour.

respected sir,

how can l reach Taylor's falls?

how can we reach Taylor's falls?

-how can l reach Taylor's falls?

-I don't really understand.

how can l reach Taylor's falls?

So you're going to Taylor's falls?

That's about three days walk form here.

But I wouldn't travel in weather like this.

At least I would get dry before setting off.

-What did he say? What did he say?

-He said something about the weather.

-What did you ask him?

-For directions to Taylor's falls.

-And what did he say?

-Something about the weather.

I'll ask someone else.

did it say that in the book?

-"can l help you?"

-No, just take a seat and relax.

Everything is wet.

I've never seen a man so handy around the house.

No, that's the kindest and good hearted

man I have ever met.

You wouldn't think he was a priest.

-"Mr Andres Mansson". . .

- Anders Mnsson, yes.

-"Taylor's falls post office."

- Does he know Anders Mnsson?

Taylor's falls post office.

Taylor's falls. . . that is very close.

Close. It is close. . . to here.

I think it is close.

It's very close. . .

I would like to. . .

"what distance is it from here?"

Two days.

Maybe three with the children.

Three days, and you will have to walk.

Hey, Robert? When we get there I'm not

staying with Danjel any longer.

-What are you going to do?

-Seek a place with some nobility.

-I won't stay with Karl Oskar.

-What are you going to do?

Certainly not become a farm hand.

I want to go west, to California.

California? What is there?

You have to promise not to tell anyone.

I promise.

-Am I hurting you?

-No, it's my ear.

-It comes from time to time.

-Does it howl as much as before?

Does it howl? Let me hear?

You can try.

-Can you hear it?

-Yes.

Our Lord, we thank you for our daily bread.

and for a new land which has

opened its gates to us,-

- and we have come here to

live and prosper in peace.

but we would have been as newly born lambs-

-had you not protected and guided us oh lord.

Oh ever lasting you, Whose hand

reaches out from generation to generation,

from land to land

and protects the world from harm

in the morning the flowers open

but die before the end of day

and her rich bounty

is the people on this earth

Surely no one can live here? It's an outhouse.

Can you explain it to him?

we want to buy milk.

Have you no manners, boy?

Put down the gun !

What are you doing with the gun in the outhouse?

-Mother?

You come unexpected.

I never thought we would make it.

Where is dad? Is he dead?

He is dead like all the others

at the bottom of the sea.

Here you can see our iron pot.

One of the feet have come off.

And you have our old kettle.

oh yes. . .

But come in, come in. Everyone from Sweden.

Thank. It's been a long journey.

Good that we found you.

-Why are you living in the outhouse?

-This is my house, Mother.

This?

But, Anders, you wrote.

Are you tricking your old mother?

Show us your farm !

Come in now.

Mother?

Mother!

Nice forest over there.

And we could make a road up there.

There is two feet of top soil here as well.

Our lords sun has never

shone down on a more beautiful landscape.

Any it would be difficult to find better

farm land in all of creation.

It's a mosquito hole.

With swampy beaches, both here. . .

-You're never satisfied, Karl Oskar.

-We have walked far enough.

We'll stay here. the is

plenty of space for all three of us.

-But it might be better up ahead.

-We should thank the lord for what we have here.

If you're not happy with this spot,

then your just being plain picky.

By the other lake you said things were even better.
