Seraphim Falls

Well, we definitely got him.

It's a gut shot, but we got him pretty good.

He didn't even take his rifle.

His horse run off, though.

Cleared up some. We ought to get a move on.

Let him bleed.

If he keeps going down, he's going to get some distance on us.

He ain't going nowhere.

We let him bleed.

Well, let's just get paid up and be done with it.

He went in.

Yep.

There's no tracks on the other side.

He done gone over them falls.

Ain't no body.

Well, he went in that there water...

There ain't no body. There ain't gonna be no body.

There's always a body.

You expect us just to conjure him?

I expect you to find him.

That's what I'm paying you for.

Stay, stay.

Stay.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Y'all smell that?

Oh, fuck.

Don't touch it.

He's doubled back on his tracks.

Hayes, you and the kid follow those two.

Pope, you take that one.

Mr. Parsons, you wait here.

I'll take this one. He's not far.

So watch yourselves. I got his gun.

He ain't bleeding no more.

Yes, he is.

Where's Pope?

The intervals are 10 feet. Be ready. He's here.

Remember, if you kill this son of a bitch, you will not be paid.

Extremities only.

God damn it. Oh, hell.

Lord almighty.

What did he do to Pope?

Mister, who the hell is this man?

Get the horses. We have him now.

He must be part Indian or wolf.

Eat a man like that.

He didn't eat him. Go.

Hey!

Go.

Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?

I guess it makes sense.

Finished off by a young'un.

I ain't no young'un.

And I don't care to hear you say another goddamn thing.

Now, come on out of there and put your hands out in front of you.

Come on.

You been shot.

Trying to steal somebody else's horse, I reckon.

I'd say you need a new line of work, mister.

Nathaniel!

Nathaniel! Come on.

Come on, now.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

Who is he?

Horse thief.

But he's hurt.

I'll pay for the horse.

You best rest yourself.

Pa'll be home after a while, and he'll decide what to do with you.

No more tracks, Carver.

The trail's gone cold up there.

Your sister...

She don't take kindly to thieving.

Hmm?

There's plenty of time for that when you grow up.

See that.

Yeah, he's still bleeding.

There's something else down here.

Take a look.

Yeah.

What'd you see?

Charlotte.

We caught him trying to steal Red.

He's hurt. Shot.

Who are you, mister?

I do some trapping a bit north of here.

Must be quite a bit north of here.

Quite a bit.

I don't expect you shot yourself.

No. No.

Somebody after your hides? Hmm?

Fringing on your territory?

I couldn't say.

You come down out of that pass without a horse?

Up here, a man without a horse is generally a dead man.

That I can solve.

So I don't take kindly to a man trying to steal mine.

Like I told your girl, I'll pay for the horse.

It's only about six days' walk from here to town,

as I recall.

I'll pay you twice what you paid for her.

If you can pay,

why don't you just walk yourself down there?

I'd rather not.

Nothing there.

Not a goddamn thing.

I'll go down there and take a look.

No.

We're done here. We'll follow the ridge.

That's 16 days. Seventeen out Mount Olive,

at $1 a day.

You'll get your money when we find him.

Not before.

What do you mean? You saw.

That trail ends down at the end of that ravine.

'Cause he never went down the ravine.

We follow the ridge.

Oh!

Oh!

Come here.

I'm Gideon.

You don't talk much, do you, boy?

You know, it's not considered polite

to shoot a man who's sleeping in your house.

Well,

get on back to bed.

Where is he?

Who the hell...

I'm doing the asking here.

Coffee and biscuits, woman.

Now, lie to me

and I will fire this place with you and yourn in it.

Now where is he?

Must have left at first light.

We done got here at first light. Damn fool.

Were he able-bodied when he come here?

No.

Did you give him supplies or a rifle?

No.

He had a pistol.

Took that off of Pope after he killed him.

You give him a horse?

No.

Ain't no horse for that one.

Mister, I don't know where you come from,

but we helped a shot mongrel of a man,

and he's gone away in the night,

and that's all we know.

You lying son of a bitch.

What did you sell him?

What did the devil get for his money?

Hayes.

I ain't paying you to play with womenfolk.

Tell me about the man who came here.

If I think you're lying,

I'll kill your brother and hand you over to Mr. Hayes.

He was here,

and he left in the night.

Stole a mare, looks like.

What about that gold?

I don't know.
