21:38you go eat that ah you didn't put me that Ilya would itchy
21:47oh
21:54shot a new LHF we love his sake cool honey I walk I watched my grandfather
22:06there was a time when everything was crafted from the earth everyone knew how
22:14Why don't we know it anymore?
22:16What happened?
22:17A white man happened.
22:21A white man, he comes and he trades with us.
22:23For our skins, our horses, our beets.
22:28He gives us sugar, knives, iron.
22:33And the people, they wanna craft things from the land.
22:36They wanna trade for the things that make life easy.
22:40And then when we run out of things to trade,
22:42the government just gives us the things
22:45until we forget how to make the things ourselves.
22:48Now they have our land.
22:50We're beggars at their fort.
22:53That's what governments want.
22:55They want beggars.
22:57Why would they want that?
22:59Because beggars, they cannot question.
23:03A beggar who questions goes hungry.
23:07A beggar who questions gets sent off to schools
23:10and taught not to question.
23:13Better we don't beg at all.
23:16Better to just do things for yourself.
23:20Until the government finds out you're doing it.
23:23But what does the government care?
23:25Because if we're doing things for ourselves,
23:29then we don't need a government.
23:33I'm gonna slip down to the river,
23:35see if I can catch a deer crossing.
23:41He's a good boy.
23:43I think so.
23:55Do you want his hand?
24:00If you want him to have it,
24:03give him permission to ask for it.
24:07I want him to have it.
24:11Have you too.
24:13What?
24:15You know what.
24:17When did we do that?
24:19You watch us like the hawk.
24:22Wait till after the ceremony.
24:25When is the ceremony?
24:28I don't know.
24:30I don't know.
24:32When is the ceremony?
24:34When is the ceremony?
24:37Gee, by the looks of it, it better be quick.
24:41Well, did you wait for the ceremony?
24:46Nobody waits for the ceremony.
24:48You just have to say it.
24:56I think I'm just gonna go sit by Pete while he hunts.
25:02Mm-hmm.
25:33I'm going.
25:35I want to stay here.
25:37I don't want to go anywhere.
26:02I love you.
26:32I love you.
27:02I love you.
27:32I love you.
27:55I love you.
28:02I love you.
28:33Whoa.
28:38Dang.
28:40You scared the life out of me.
28:44Hunting you some deer?
28:47Trying to.
28:49Sorry to screw it up for you.
28:51It's still early.
28:53Deer won't mind that horse's scent.
28:55They'll mind mine, and I got plenty of it.
28:57Haven't seen any cattle sign on the river, have you?
28:59I'm prowling for strays.
29:01Haven't seen any cattle.
29:03Once they get down in this canyon, they get wilder than the deer.
29:06You'll see the sign before you see the cattle.
29:08Haven't seen any sign.
29:10Comanche let you graze here?
29:12Comanche? Only Comanche in these parts looks to be you.
29:14Thought this canyon was Comanche land.
29:16It was. It's been a while, though.
29:18Before my time.
29:20Comanche are all up north of Vernon.
29:22No.
29:24You're smack dab in the bottom of the J.A. Ranch in Texas.
29:26Texas?
29:28You missed Oklahoma by 100 miles.
29:30Should have turned left at the river and not followed it.
29:32Don't worry, none.
29:34You ain't minding nobody.
29:36Mr. Goodnight was a good friend of Quanah Parker's.
29:38And Mr. Goodnight never refused a Comanche to come camp his old grounds.
29:43Best get moving.
29:45Don't want to spend the night in this canyon.
29:47It's a rattlesnake factory.
29:49There may be a couple more punchers right this way,
29:51but they won't mess with you, none.
30:01Come on.
30:06We're in Texas.
30:08Texas?
30:10On a ranch.
30:12Don't look like much of a ranch to me.
30:14Me neither, but that's what it is.
30:16Do you think he'll tell people we're here?
30:18Don't think there's anyone to tell.
30:20Didn't seem to mind.
30:22He's pretty friendly.
30:24Friendly?
30:26Yeah. Even apologized for messing up my hunt.
30:29I didn't tell him who really messed up my hunt.
30:39Maybe we should go back and tell my father.
30:44We should, but we ain't gonna.
30:48Not yet.
30:58Not yet.
31:28Go away.
31:30Alex, it's me.
31:34Alex.
31:36You go away as well.
31:38I will not.
31:58No.
32:29My God, Alex, you're withering away.
32:34Yes, I am.
32:36You're ill.
32:40I'm broken, Jennifer.
32:42If you're ill, you should see a doctor.
32:46Do you think a doctor will prescribe me a ticket to America?
32:51If he loves you, he'll come for you.
32:54He can't come for me. He must protect his family.
32:57Protect them from what? From bears?
33:01I will not have this conversation with you.
33:10I need passage to America.
33:13I'm running out of time.
33:15I need passage to America.
33:18I'm running out of time.
33:20And I have no means.
33:22No money.
33:24No family. Your friends will help me.
33:28Time is the one thing you do have, Alex.
33:32In abundance.
33:35Be patient.
33:37Perhaps he will send for you when he reaches Montana.
33:46I'm running out of time.
33:50You're pregnant.
34:16When I begin to share what then?
34:20What will Arthur do to my family then? He's already abandoned from London.
34:29I belong with my husband.
34:33His child belongs with his father.
34:36Oh, Alex.
34:41You claim to be my best friend.
34:45I'm more than claimant.
34:50Now's your chance to prove it.
35:06Sell these.
35:08Buy me passage.
35:10And bring me to London.
35:11Alex, some of these belong with the estates and belong with the court.
35:14You could go to prison.
35:16And so could I.
35:18I never said proving it would be easy.
35:22Sell them in Brighton.
35:24They'll offer a pittance of what they're worth. Take it.
35:27Tell my parents I've agreed to stay in Oxford with you.
35:31Tell them it would be good for me to see friends and be around young men with stature and a future ahead of them.
35:38That's what a best friend would do.
35:43That's what shall be done.
35:56Book passage on the first ship heading west.
35:59Not the Potter ship. The first.
36:02And book me second class.
36:04The first.
36:06And book me second class.
36:08I don't need to be housed beside Arthur's classmates sailing to New York.
36:12Second class, Alex.
36:15Gamblers and thieves without a man beside you.
36:18I can take care of myself.
36:25Go.
36:34Go.
36:36Go.
37:02Spencer.
37:04My life.
37:06I know not the path nor the manner with which I will find my way to you.
37:11But it is time the journey begin.
37:14I will enter the port in New York and then seek passage by train to Montana.
37:34Go.
38:04Go.
38:06Go.
38:31I've seen a lot of men do it.
38:34Never like this, though.
38:39Well, let's do it quick with a bullet.
38:42I don't have a gun.
38:44Can you swim?
38:47I can swim.
38:54That's gonna be a problem.
38:58Why is that a problem?
39:00You may want to die, but your body don't.
39:02Your body will fight.
39:04And then you'll tread water till you can't.
39:06Then you'll float.
39:08It's a pretty smooth day.
39:10Yesterday was the day to jump.
39:14So if you jump in, be ready for a long day.
39:17I will just go under.
39:20Open my mouth.
39:22And breathe in.
39:25Yeah, but your body won't like you.
39:27You won't float till a storm or a shark has its way with you.
39:38How long has he been doing that to you?
39:42Since we left the port.
39:50People aren't defined by what happens to them.
39:53They're defined by what they do.
39:55More often than not, they're defined by what they don't do.
39:57What they're too scared to do.
40:00Too lazy. Selfish.
40:04Is your mother alive?
40:13Does she love you?
40:16Of course.
40:18You're just gonna throw that over the side?
40:22I wrote her a letter.
40:26This?
40:31No address on it.
40:34I wrote two letters.
40:36One is to you.
40:38It's in Italian. Can't read Italian.
40:41Don't know to write English.
40:44Read it.
40:46Read it.
40:53Thank you for saving me from the big man.
40:58For fighting him.
41:01I wish God made me big.
41:04But he didn't.
41:09In Galveston, ask for my cousins Salvatore and Rosario Moncheo.
41:13Galveston is their city.
41:15Give them both letters.
41:19They will pay you for saving me.
41:22But if you jump off this ship, I didn't save you.
41:30Didn't think of that.
41:45Let's go.
41:55Let's get back to work.
42:16Let's go.
42:36Why do men call you Lion Hunter?
42:39That's what I did.
42:41My grandfather said when he was young, there were lions in Italy.
42:45Two kinds. One with no mane, that live in the mountains.
42:49And the Barbary lion.
42:52Which live near the farms and would eat the cattle and horses.
43:00Lions in our mountains too.
43:04They don't mess with the cattle.
43:06In America, there is lions.
43:09I would love to see a lion.
43:13I just want a lion to never see me.
43:15You do not want the lion to see you.
43:22Italy is home for you?
43:24My family is from Palermo, in Sicily.
43:27But...
43:29With Mussolini.
43:32My mother sent me to Galveston so I don't die in the war.
43:36Didn't know there was a war.
43:38In Libya. Next will be Tunisia.
43:40Then Egypt. Then Greece.
43:42We just got done with our war.
43:44They're starting a new one.
43:47There are two kind of men in this world, I think.
43:51Men who make things and the men who take them.
43:56Mussolini is a man who takes.
44:01Where is home for you?
44:03In the mountains. In the north.
44:05That is where you go?
44:06As soon as I have enough money.
44:12You could sell that big gun.
44:14You don't need that big gun.
44:17You could fight for the money.
44:19Don't fight for money.
44:20Lion hunting is fighting, no?
44:21It's fighting for survival.
44:23Don't fight for survival.
44:26Why you go home?
44:31Family needs me.
44:33Why they need you so bad?
44:34You work as ship's engine to get back to them.
44:36They're in danger.
44:37They're fighting for money.
44:39It's for survival.
44:41If the money gets you home...
44:59Umbrellas.
45:00What about them?
45:01Umbrellas. That's the word.
45:02Ain't the word anymore.
45:05Well, what's the password now?
45:07Wouldn't be much of a password if I told it to you.
45:09Roy, open the fucking door.
45:13Yes, sir.
45:15Oh.
45:17Hey.
45:18Marshall out of Helena called.
45:20Said they got an anonymous tippet.
45:22There's a speakeasy off of Main Street.
45:24You don't say.
45:27Yep.
45:30Hey.
45:31Hey.
45:32Hey.
45:33Hey.
45:34Hey.
45:35Hey.
45:36Hey.
45:37Hey.
45:38Hey.
45:39Hey.
45:40Hey.
45:41Hey.
45:42Hey.
45:44You have any luck finding it?
45:46Investigation's just getting started.
45:48These things take a while.
45:50Another whiskey, Charlie?
45:59Takes away the bite.
46:00Don't take away all the bite.
46:04Who's the judge?
46:05Garrett.
46:06Yeah.
46:08He murdered that crow woman.
46:11I don't get it.
46:12I mean, how is it illegal to marry into one race and not another?
46:16Well, it all depended on the race of the legislator's wives when they drew up the law in the first place.
46:21Yeah.
46:23It was almost illegal to marry a Mexican until a senator met a little senorita on a hunting trip in Texas.
46:28How much trouble are they in?
46:30Well, the marriage is going.
46:33And the preacher who performed the marriage, he can go to jail.
46:37But Zane's wife won't say who that was.
46:39And that's really what this is all about.
46:41If she refuses to divulge the source, she's gonna be held in contempt, and back to jail she goes.
46:48You seen Zane?
46:50He ain't any better.
46:52Is he talking?
46:54They got him walking the halls in there, and they won't let him see his wife, won't let him see his kids.
46:59I swear it's a broken heart more than it is his head.
47:05It's that fucking Whitfield.
47:08I know it is.
47:10He's gonna knock all your chess pieces off the board.
47:14Get those taxes paid.
47:16No, I got last year's paid, it's just next year I ain't figured.
47:19Well, you better figure him out quick, because I can promise you, that son of a bitch has got it figured.
47:37Do you think you can take him?
47:41Are there rules?
47:42Rules?
47:43If you fight, are there any rules?
47:44How can you bite?
47:46You can do anything, it's a fight.
47:49Then yes.
47:51Big guys are easy to beat as long as they can hold you.
47:53Let me start with him.
47:56Wait, wait, kid!
48:02Here you go.
48:03See what I've seen?
48:07A giant fights against a lion hunter.
48:10Force is like fire.
48:28Okay, one round.
48:31No time limit.
48:32No rules.
48:33The man who cannot get up, or will not get up, is the loser.
48:39Pronto?
48:40Si.
48:42Ready?
48:43One step, you're out.
48:44Fight!
49:00I'm really glad you won.
49:01I don't have any money either.
49:04Okay.
49:15You fought in the war?
49:16Yep.
49:17You killed many Germans?
49:18Everyone I could find.
49:21Me too.
49:22No gouging eyes, okay?
49:24Blind men cannot work on ships.
49:27No gouging eyes.
49:34Come on!
49:41Come on!

50:42and still have money left over.
50:50What are you doing?
50:52Twenty percent.
50:53For covering the beds.
50:55You didn't cover any beds.
50:56You don't have any money.
50:57I don't have any money.
50:58I don't have any money.
50:59I don't have any money.
51:00I don't have any money.
51:01I don't have any money.
51:02You didn't cover any beds.
51:03You don't have any money.
51:04I took the risk of lying.
51:06All you had to do was fight one man at a time.
51:08I would have been beaten by the whole room.
51:11Now, I have money to cover more beds,
51:12and you have the money to get home.
51:25Unless...
51:27they try and steal it from us while we're asleep.
51:32Good night.
52:02Good night.
52:22Let's go!
52:23To the Earth!
52:32To the Earth!
52:38The second class was sold out.
52:40It was first class or tourist class.
52:44I'll take my chances with the tourists.
52:46They aren't tourists, Alex.
52:48They only call it that because they can't call it the thieves and beggars class.
52:52I thought there'd be more.
52:55No one with good repute would trade with me.
52:57I was forced to the alleys.
52:59Tally prices is what they brought.
53:03I wonder if it's colder in Montana.
53:07It can't be any colder than this.
53:21I'm hoping you'll send it back to me.
53:25But if you don't,
53:27I'm going to kill you.
53:33I'll know you needed it.
53:40You've proved it.
53:44Are you on for the day when I can return the favor?
54:02I'm off on the next adventure.
54:32That's new.
54:33Yeah.
54:36Know how they work?
54:37I got no idea.
54:40Well, you got someone you need to call?
54:43Yes, I do.
54:44Very much.
54:52I'll be back.
54:54I'll be back.
54:55I'll be back.
54:56I'll be back.
54:57I'll be back.
54:58I'll be back.
54:59I'll be back.
55:00I'll be back.
55:01I'll be back.
55:19At last.
55:21I'd forgotten what the sun looks like.
55:24I'm not sure why you're making all these eggs.
55:28You should send some down to the cowboys.
55:39Elizabeth, breakfast is ready.
55:54No.
56:15I thought that thing was going to eat me alive.
56:17It was its plan.
56:20Winter is the killing season.
56:23And the hunters among us seek out the weak, the foolish.
56:27Only the very strongest of nature's creatures survive it.
56:32Winter is the time of the wolf.
56:34The time of the lion.
56:36When all nature's failures become a meal.
56:40Then spring brings new life.
56:42And God tries again.
56:53Woo-hoo!
57:23To be continued.
57:53To be continued.
