I have dogs bigger than that.

I thought you said there were panthers here.

I ain't seen a panther in these mountains for nine years.

Then what about the carcass Snipes found up in Noland?

- Something mauled that. - That weren't no panther.

The chest weren't tore open.

They eat the heart first.

You find me an honest-to-God panther to hunt

and I'll give you a $20 gold piece.

If there's a panther still around, it's likely touched by the devil.

May end up hunting you.

Well, I want one.

Vaughn. Would you have the girl bring me my meal?

Coming down! Stand clear!

Timber!

George!

All right, bring her around.

Albert! What are you doing out here?

Well, a letter came from the bank.

Oh, it's nothing to worry about.

Look, you're going to have to renegotiate the loan.

I'll go up to Boston next week and settle it. Don't fret.

Get it up! Come on.

- My uncle's a partner. Don't forget. - That's right but still.

See, if we go up the north ridge and we carry it all the way down...

Get it off!

Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Rumour has it that Congress is creating a national park in Carolina.

Well, the park may come.

By the time the government takes the land,

there won't be a tree standing.

The trouble is, George, with this recent market crash,

I'm afraid your stocks are no longer sufficient collateral

for us to roll a loan over.

I mean, all my capital is wrapped up in Carolina.

What about this land in Brazil?

I'd rather not touch that.

You should have married Peg Lowell when you had the chance.

Then you wouldn't have to bow and scrape for your bankers.

Well, you're up on the news, aren't you?

I am. That's why you should talk to your sister more often.

- I came to visit you this week. - Once.

In how long?

I don't know what you're doing tearing down that mountain,

God knows where, and for what?

Why can't you ever do anything sensible?

I'm doing quite well, thank you.

- Will there be anything else? - No, thank you.

That woman you're slavering over is practically an aborigine, you know.

Raised on a timber camp.

A timber camp?

Yes, I thought you'd like that.

Unfortunately, it burned down and killed her whole family.

And two days after the fire,

a rescue party found Serena wandering in the ruins,

calling for her dead brothers and sisters.

She was so covered in ash, they thought she was a ghost.

She is beautiful.

Wounded.

Mad for trees.

Hmm.

It's a pity you don't stand a chance with her.

What are you doing?

- I just wanted to say hello. - (laughs) Well, hello.

George Pemberton.

Serena Shaw.

I think we should be married.

I can't wait to get there.

Oh! Welcome back!

- Splendid trip. - Good!

- I can't wait to fill you in. - Yeah.

I hope you didn't get all dolled up on my account.

Oh, no, no.

- Hello. Hello.

What...

Well, what do you think of my wife?

What? Why didn't you tell me? I, you know...

- Jesus, George! Why didn't you tell me? - (both laughing)

I would have, you know...

This is Buchanan. He's my right-hand man.

- Serena Pemberton. - Oh.

Don't you know how to shake hands properly, Mr. Buchanan?

Well, of course I do. I'm very happy to meet you.

And, uh, well, welcome!

So did Galloway find my panther yet?

Well, a worker found some tracks up on Laurel Creek

but Galloway thinks that was a bobcat.

- Are panthers common here? - No, no, nothing to worry about.

I mean, there's some question as to whether there are any left at all.

I was hoping to see my new home before it gets dark.

Yes, of course.

- That girl... - It doesn't matter.

Our love began the day we met.

Nothing that happened before even exists.

Keep your eyes closed.

Give me your hand.

Step down. Watch your head.

One more. One more. Okay. Okay. Wait.

On three, you can open your eyes.

One, two, three.

That's beautiful, George.

And that's just the start.

I bought an amazing property in Brazil.

- Brazil? - Yes.

Virgin forest for hundreds of miles. Mahogany.

Raw and beautiful.

Completely untouched.

Can't find something like that in America.

You want that, don't you?

More than anything.

I never thought I'd find you.

I never thought I'd find anyone.

Really. You have no idea.

Doc! Doc!

Come on.

Chaney! Got ourselves another one.

Ah, you're too late. There's nothing I can do. Put him in the chair.

Rattlesnake?

Yeah, it's gotten worse since you left.

The crews get spooked and fall behind.

We've lost six men in the last two months.

Shit.

In Colorado, we had a trained eagle to keep the snakes under control.

Right. Well, I don't think you'll find any eagles in Carolina, Mrs. Pemberton.

Well, we should import one.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, we should import one. Why not?

So I understand you have some experience in the lumber business, Mrs. Pemberton?

My father had 40,000 acres in Colorado.

Had?

I do hope he didn't lose them in this awful crash.

He died.

Her father was a first-rate timber man, Dr. Chaney.

He had her riding the slope before she could walk.

Well, that gives you the advantage over us, Mrs. Pemberton.

I sure would like to know what you think of our little operation here.

Aside from our obvious lack of an eagle, that is.

I think you've taken nine months to do about six months' work.

But a few changes should greatly increase profitability.

What did you find, a wife or a partner?

Both.

I suppose Mrs. Buchanan takes no interest in your work?

Oh, I'm a bachelor.

I can assure you, Mr. Buchanan,

I didn't come to Carolina to do needlepoint.

Of course not.

She is a pistol.

Buchanan's a funny one, isn't he?

He seems a little bit, I don't know,

too fond of you.

What do you mean?

He'll loosen up.
