Saints & Strangers

Hello?

It hurts.

Does it not?

To lose what you love.

Forever.

We come for the boy.

We?

Do you also count yourself one of them?

What do you want from them?

To let us live without fear.

Fear of attack.

Fear of theft.

Tell them to leave these shores.

If I did, do you think they would listen?

Bring him.

They are frightened of you.

Less so now.

You would have me become their friend?

It is why Massasoit has sent us.

Massasoit sent us to watch Squanto.

Who is here to ensure the alliance.

Squanto has endeared us to them. We mustn't undo that.

Neither you or I understand his words.

Lies if you ask me.

I did not ask you.

Be kinder to them.

Why do you bother?

We do not understand each other.

My husband wishes me to be friends with you but I have nothing to say.

I'm only here because this is where Massasoit has placed him.

I go where he goes, I live where he lives, I do as he wishes.

So here we are.

Your words fall on my ears empty of meaning, but still...

...I answer you.

Did Massasoit approve this move to trade?

The alliance doesn't call for his approval on matters like this.

You have it all planned out in your mind, don't you?

Have I betrayed you, Hobbamock?

Have I disappointed you in some way that I'm not aware?

I can not tell.

No one can.

That is the problem.

Only you speak their tongue.

Then let me teach you your first English word.

If I told you what it means would you believe me?

Let us keep to our skills.

You with your war club.

Me with my words.

As you know,

Massasoit has formed an alliance with the English.

They've sent us here

to propose trading with your village.

You do their bidding now?

We do the bidding of Massasoit.

For many months, we've lived among the English in our own wet...

They have embraced us and have shunned violence where they can.

To trade with them

will strengthen your standing as an ally.

Is that so?

What brings you to Nemasket?

Like you...

I come to trade.

You are a long way from home.

Not as far as you, Squanto.

We were all surprised when you did not journey back with their boat.

Then again...

you have more to gain by staying here

and supporting Massasoit and these English.

To trade our goods with the English is to strengthen the enemy!

We Massachusetts invite you

to stand your ground against the English!

Stand your ground against their thieving ways!

Stand your ground against those who would betray us!

Bid farewell to Squanto.

Where's Squanto?

Thank you.

They said you lead the raid. You told them to come for me.

Massasoit sent me to watch you.

But not to protect me.

No.

So...

Thank you.

You talk too much.

You with your war club. Me with my words!

And which is the more destructive?

What do you mean?

You were sitting there. Unbound. More an honored guest than prisoner.

I talked them out of bonds.

I'm sure...

and what else did you talk them out of...

...or into?

I didn't expect to see you among this group.

We've heard these English tended to those they wounded at Nemasket.

If they would deal so honorably...

then the Narragansett would make peace and come to honor them.

He's humbled to receive a leader that was once so mighty.

I come peacefully by choice.

These are gifts from my people...

That you have taken from other peoples...

Tributes from allied tribes who are weaker.

Were weaker.

I may not understand the words you whisper to these people...

but I do know the word, King James.

I know this name.

This name is no friend of ours.

No friends of yours, Squanto.

I caution you not to offend these people, Canonicus.

Offend?

We've come in peace.

Whether it's their intent or your words poisoning their ears...

it's I who am offended.

The Narragansett are offended.

To come here was a mistake.

So it was worth it to trust Squanto after all.

He's proven himself loyal.

Just watch that his loyalty to us is not...

overshadowed by his fondness for them.

Gunpowder and bullets, a message from your English friends.

They said you left them angry.
