The Dawn

What am I supposed to be looking for?

All I see is dirt.

The first part of respecting nature

is understand it.

The soil, has stories to tell.

It has lessons to teach.

We become it.

How do you know all this great grandfather?

My father taught me the importance

of the world around me.

Now I'm teaching you.

My father gave it to me.

He said it was a barrier between good and evil.

Does it do something?

I saw it save my father's life.

Thank ya.

So remember,

we're gonna keep it positive today, okay?

Okay, thank you Rose.

William!

Supper!

The children are waiting!

What have we told ya?

It isn't polite to stare.

Even if it is your father.

Thought we agreed?

No tools at the table.

No work.

I was fixing the mailbox.

Right.

Now grace.

Would you like to lead us?

Dear Lord, bless us and these gifts

for these I give what you're about to receive

from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, amen.

Amen.

Thank you Rose.

I hope we all understand how important

it was to thank our Lord.

I mean, we've been given many obstacles,

but each meal is a blessing.

Each day is a blessing.

Here.

Will you let me help ya?

Don't touch me!

Let me bleed out!

Let me bleed.

Let me bleed out.

I said let me bleed!

Hank.

What happened?

What is wrong with him?

Your father is sick.

Did he hurt you?

No I'm not hurt.

Just finish your dinner okay?

Finish your dinner.

Lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

William.

No, please!

It isn't real!

Please, it isn't real!

Hank.

I can do it Hank!

I can set you free!

I can't let you hurt anymore!

Listen to me!

No, don't go back there.

They're only gonna hurt you.

I can free you.

I'm not Hank Papa.

I'm the pathway to God.

Listen to me!

I can set you free.

Rose!

Run Rose!

Run!

I am the pathway to God, listen to me!

Run!

I can't let you kill Hank!

Looks like we figured out

where those gunshots we heard came from.

Yup, looks like it.

I used to have to drive him home drunk after the war.

Said he used to see things.

I always figured it was the whiskey.

Quanah here brought him home a few times too.

Did William's wife see this?

She's passed on too.

The kids?

Same.

Oh my God!

Except for his eldest.

Where is she?

I don't know Sarge.

Let's find her.

Now!

Now, now!

Rose!

Rose!

Rose!

Rose!

Rose!

Rose!

You don't have any other family, do you?

Aunts or Uncles, Grandparents?

Anything?

No.

You have nowhere to go?

No.

I'll find somewhere on my own.

No.

Not without family and not with winter approaching.

Look, there's a place I know of, a couple of states away.

I spent some time there as a child myself.

If you don't have anyone to stay with,

better than the state putting you in an orphanage.

What is it?

Well, reminds me of a castle.

Like in Europe?

Yes, a lot like that.

But with no wars?

I can assure you, there's no war there.

The wars did this.

I know.

If you go, you won't have to worry about anything like that.

Okay?

It's a good place, it's a good home.

Henry.

There's something I think you need take a look at.

What might that be?

This morning a girl was taken to Saint Johns.

She lost her family.

That's not unusual.

Not now.

It's the circumstance.

I think you need to take a look at this.

I'll be in touch with the Reverend Mother.

I know her well.

You must be Rose.

I'm Reverend Mother Agnes.

I'm told you're going to stay with us.

Start at the beginning.

You mean my childhood?

Yes.

We've been through this.

You know my childhood.

Your self-doubt stems from more than just your father.

I don't like thinking of my father.

But you do.

Of course.

Every day since I've been here.

Surely there was more to your home life

than your fathers illness.

Reverend Mother calls them dreams, not an illness.

We agree on many things,

but psychology is not one of them.

The intricacies of the human mind

are one field where I feel that not only

are we still learning, but so is the Lord.

The soul grows as it should.

That's correct.

Have you considered taking your final vows?

Yes, of course.

All the time.

But you're not ready?

I feel that I could do more.

More for the church, more for the world.

I hear about the worsening situation

with Europe, in Germany, and in Austria.

Isn't there something the church can do?

We pray for them.

But first, we must remember,

all action begins with one person.

Who?

That person is you, Rose.

Good afternoon Sister Rose.

Sister Ella.

Oh, I believe the first frost has gotten to Jeremiah.

I think he gets to most people more than they think.

You know, he barely speaks to me.

Ever since he arrived, he just stares.

Maybe he thinks you're pretty.

No.

He's confusing me with you.

Besides, you know it's inappropriate.

I wouldn't give it much thought.

I'm sure he's harmless.

I mean if he weren't, Father Theodore would

never have invited him here.

I suppose you're right.

Yeah.

You know, you must do a prayer session today.

I was busy.

Busy?

Well, after much contemplation,

I believe I'm ready.

I've decided to take my final vows.

Already?
