You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

Come on.

Shh.

Come on. Come on.

- Come here. Come here.

Come on.

Do you feel it now Travers?

Do you still feel the hunger?

Leave me. I won't make it.

Go on without me, Robert.

I don't like the way

that he looks at me.

Greenhill:
# Well met,

well met, my own true love

# "Well met, well met," cried she

# I've just returned

from the salt, salt sea

# And it's all for the love of thee

# I could have married

the King's daughter there

# She would have married me

# I've forsaken the crown of gold

# All for the love of thee

# All for the...

Greenhill:
Shh.

I'm here.

Pearce:
He'll not make it.

# All for the love of thee...

Travers:
No, no! No!

You'll be taking

your leaving of me now, Robert.

There's nothing to a piece of man.

Travers:
You'll make it without me.

Please, Robert. I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

I need sleep.

You can't...

Wait. Don't.

Please, Robert. Please!

No.

You'll make it without me.

I need sleep.

You can't... Wait.

Don't! Please, Robert.

Please!

Robert...

No.

Don't touch me.

Pearce is going to...

Pearce... Pearce is going to...

Keep him away from me.

- Shh.

- Don't leave me.

Shh. Shh.

Your soul to the Devil.

Travers:
Please...don't...

Let God have his Heaven.

I am blood.

Where now?

Have you...

Have you ever thought at it, Alex?

This thing...

This thing that's...

It grows fat on itself. This is...

It's...burning alive, Alex.

We're burning alive.

Logs for the fire.

Just logs for the fire, Alex.

You don't f***ing say much,

do you, Pearce?

What brought you here?

Shoes.

Six pairs of shoes.

We have to keep moving.

We're close.

Dalton:
Cooeeee!

Hard of sleep, Robert?

Aye.

Get on with it.

Arggh!

Pearce:
So beautiful.

How can it be so beautiful?

I've looked up at God looking down.

He dances with an axe in his hand.
