Frontier (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - "Keetom Takooteeoo Maheekum" (Return of the Wolf) - full transcript
We need to capture Harp if
we want to secure this fort.
That's why the HBC has offered
to pay 200 pounds for his head.
Benton's been taken into custody.
He's on a ship bound for London.
Benton is gone, and
the only way to get him back
is if we gut the entire Hudson Bay company.
You don't start a war to kill one man.
What you call war they call business.
If you issue a full pardon,
freeing Harp of all his crimes,
I will agree to be your wife.
You married Chesterfield... for me?
I'm here to establish a
business relationship with you.
Not many men have the courage
to shake my hand as an equal.
I'll buy your furs.
- It's not about taking sides.
- It's only about taking sides!
Betting on the Brown
Brothers was my mistake,
and now it'll be yours too.
We've made it!
They're coming. We've got to get going.
I know. I'm staying.
Harp. No.
Christ, let's go! Go, go, go!
Harp was set to meet
Elizabeth in the north.
I'm gonna leave at daybreak.
I'll take Clenna with me.
You have a way off the ship?
This is Michael.
He's a friend.
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.
My name is Wahush.
You turned my crew to mutiny.
You'll all do...
exactly...
as I say.
We need to get a move on.
We need to reach Petrie's Rock
before Carruthers' people leave.
You know someone who can
do this faster than me?
The HBC will have trackers on our tail.
Where's Sokanon? I'm not here for Harp,
or your money. I came for her.
She went to free a Cree
girl from Fort James.
She said she'd catch up.
We got to get the hell out of here.
Governor.
We've scoured the woods.
There's no sign of Harp
or that Irish prick.
- And the furs?
- No sign of them.
Their trail ends at the river.
Send scouts and 20 men
overland to cut them off.
Leave the rest here to secure the Fort.
- Yes, sir.
- No one leaves.
Search every house, cellar, stable.
Harp cut himself off to save his people.
He's still here.
Alright, boys. Where's the party?
- Where are the furs?
- Up your mother's fanny!
And there was still room for my big boaby.
Decent shot.
I want a location.
Do me a favour.
Don't give up your friends too fast.
Have you been eatin' shite?
I want every scrap of bedding washed.
What won't come clean, you can burn.
I can't get down to the river
with the Fort locked down.
Just get those out of here.
I'm so sorry you were forced
back into those ways, Imogen.
I knew what I was doing.
Get a sort of respect,
if you know what I mean?
Don't be naive.
No man respects a whore.
Depends on what you mean by respect.
You're worried about him.
That man does not need me
interfering in his business.
Shhh...
Grace.
Are you alright?
Am I alright?
Have you lost your bloody
mind, stealing those furs?
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
I suppose you're bleeding somewhere?
It's nothing.
Let's get you off the
streets and out of this Fort.
Hey...
I needed to see you.
Now, where are the furs being taken?
North.
Straight out of Hudson's Bay.
Governor.
Perfect timing. The
prisoner just confessed.
I heard.
You think they'd take pelts
out in open ocean in canoes?
We've a ship!
You're out of uniform, Sergeant McTaggart.
You think Declan Harp can massacre
good men in your shithole outpost
and I wouldn't inspect your past?
You're a deserter and a thief.
McTaggart, you were a redcoat?
I'm disappointed.
- For fuck...
- Would you like to be hung?
Thanks, I'm plenty hung already.
We'll see.
Governor Chesterfield?
Out with it already!
We have to talk. It's about your wife.
You bastard!
Oi!
It's clear.
They've blocked the west gates.
Maybe we can sneak you over the wall.
Unless you've got a 15foot ladder in here.
You're not helping.
What happened, Declan?
Benton's gone. I had the bounty lifted.
Why throw that away?
So you'd risk dying under their
boot, but you can't even admit why.
You haven't changed.
You should leave here.
You came back here to tell me that?
What I mean is...
I came back...
because what happened in Montreal...
it ended badly between us.
How should it have ended?
Different.
No, Declan, you do not
get to walk away from this.
Declan, look me in the eyes
and tell me you don't love me.
Search, there, there and here.
Go through each building inch by inch.
- No.
- I'm gonna tear him apart.
Declan, please. There will be
a time for that, but not now.
Empty every building.
He knows I'm here.
Wait, I'll distract him.
Grace, move. I'm gonna kill him.
Declan, please, do as I ask.
Stay here and hidden while I distract him.
Please, Declan!
What's going on?
You tell me, Grace! I know what's happened.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Imogen told me everything.
If you and Imogen are so close, why
didn't you marry her instead of me?
I will not accept my wife undermining
the operations of this company.
Imogen will take over license of the ale,
and you will learn your place by my side.
That ale house is not yours to take.
You forfeited any claim when
you aided Declan Harp's gang.
I'm placing you under house
arrest until further notice.
- This is ridiculous.
- Until death do us part, Grace.
Don't forget this was your idea.
Where are you taking me?
To Kamenna and the Lake Walker Council.
Who's that?
She is a leader.
A queen?
Like a queen.
Sokanon.
What are you saying?
Don't worry.
Child.
You've had your tongue stolen from you.
We're gonna work to help you get it back.
Is this your wife, sir?
Aye. It's her.
We do need to be practical here.
I mean, there are urgent issues before us.
Soon as this legal business is done,
we need to act fast to
conclude that deal with Harp.
It's the only way to put us
in an untouchable position
in this... fickle town.
I know who did this.
Grant?
I know in my bones.
I should've never let her go alone then.
Douglas...
you once passed out trying
to crack open a walnut.
You're no champion.
You want to beat Grant?
Let's use our heads.
Get our affairs in order.
Conclude this deal with Harp.
Tenthousand pelts?
That puts us right back where we belong.
Are there bears?
Yes.
Well, what do we do if we see bears?
Bears don't bother men.
- Why not?
- Because men have guns.
- I don't have a gun.
- My pet.
Cocked.
Now you have not a worry in the world.
Don't point that at me.
- Is that him?
- Yes.
What are you doing here?
Michael.
Michael Smyth.
I don't believe I've had
the exquisite pleasure
of being formally introduced to you.
I'm Cobbs Pond.
Mr. Pond and Mr. Grant
have been very kind to me.
You should listen to what he has to say.
I know who you are, and
what you did to Harp.
I'd rather put me boot
to your head than listen
- to what you have to say.
- Don't be such a child.
You shouldn't judge a man by
the choices he makes in business,
which incidentally, is why I'm here.
I'm here to do business with someone else.
Please.
You trust me.
I trust him.
Thank you.
Now sadly, Elizabeth Carruthers is dead.
So I am here to save you from
having made the trip for nothing.
How did Elizabeth Carruthers die?
I don't know.
God just called her home.
Now, Mr. Grant is a businessman.
And as his emissary, I'm here make
you a fair offer for your pelts.
Josephette,
what a pleasant surprise.
Josephette. I'm...
so sorry for your loss.
I know how close you two were.
Aye. That brutal bloodbath...
It was a shame that she
was killed in that way.
What I mean is... so sorry.
If you'll excuse us,
we have a meeting with the
solicitor, Mr. Pickersgill.
Mr. Pickersgill has
provided me with instruction.
Right. Sooner we make this official,
the sooner... proper mourning can begin.
When can my brother take over the company?
Wait. What do you mean, "instruction"?
Elizabeth was a very thorough planner
and there are specific legal instruments
regarding ownership,
operation and control of her company.
The fuck does that mean?
Legal ownership is
transferred to Douglas Brown,
though power of attorney is
assigned to Mr. Pickersgill
to act on my accord.
- You?
- Take it easy.
"It is my explicit wish,"
my solicitor and executor Mr. Pickersgill
administer all my personal and real assets
for the benefit...
"of Josephette DaCosta."
You?!
It was her wish.
So... I own the company,
but you run it
through some solicitor
whom I've never met?
Yes. Exactly.
Would you please... excuse me?
I suppose congratulations are in order.
Shall we wait to proceed?
I think he's going to be a while.
Sokanon.
I thought you'd come around.
See reason.
And then what? Play the company wife?
After the way you've behaved?
What, Imogen? That meant nothing!
It was blowing off some steam!
I'm not talking about you and Imogen.
I couldn't care less about that.
I want us to be together, Grace.
As partners, like you said.
You took me in.
You mended my wounds. You told me that...
we could work together,
that I should remove Benton,
and gain a partner in you!
Just say it.
Declan Harp's between us.
- He is.
- Where the fuck is he, Grace?!
Grace...
Don't.
It's a very serious thing...
to put a blade to my
throat. You know that, right?
You took everything from me.
My business.
My freedom.
Say it.
Him...
Just do it.
If you really think I deserve
to die, fucking kill me.
I'm leaving Fort James.
And I'm never coming back.
Do not follow me, Jonathan.
We could have been fearsome together.
Harp made a deal with
Carruthers and Co., not with you.
Well, Carruthers and Co. Is now controlled
by Douglas Brown and
his pugnacious brother,
- Malcolm.
- Well, then, with all due respect,
I should be having this
conversation with the Brown Brothers.
The Brown Brothers are
incompetent businessmen.
A deal's a deal. I need
to speak with Douglas.
Michael.
You need to see who is
going to win Montreal.
Now, Mr. Grant's business
is prosperous and growing,
and the Brown brothers' is in decline.
So, Michael, be pragmatic.
Montreal is the future.
And whoever takes Montreal will
take control of the entire fur trade,
and the Hudson Bay Company
will continue to falter.
- Let me ask you something.
- Please do.
Why'd you drag her out here with you?
She's become very precious to me.
We've revealed quite a lot
to each other, haven't we?
And you know one thing she
did reveal to me was, um,
about all the years you spent
in poverty living on the streets of London.
You wouldn't want to go
back there again, would you?
You know, there's one good
thing about living like a thief.
What's that?
You learn to tell when a situation
is fucked. And I can tell...
that there's something
fucked about this situation.
Let's put a little honesty
in this conversation, though.
Those pelts that you're
trying to sell are stolen.
The HBC has every
capable scout on your tail
and you cannot outrun them.
Now, you need a buyer. I miraculously
have a chest of silver here.
And though this conversation
has been wonderful,
I think it's time we bring it to an end.
You make a choice. One way or the other.
Michael!
What are you doing?
Elizabeth Carruthers is
dead. We need a buyer.
- Where is Harp?
- He's not here right now,
- I'm here in his stead.
- Where is he?
I don't know.
Now then,
for the final time...
where are they taking those furs?
You're a bit slow on the uptake, you know,
you baldy bastard.
McTaggart. You might want to think
about letting him know
where we hid those furs.
Here, fucking woof!
You had enough??
Now, don't you fucking die on me!
Boom! Decent shot!
Let's get you out of there.
- Come on, my baby.
- Don't want to forget those.
English bastard!
Girls, they're here for
you. Don't forget that.
I've been doing this for
years. I know how it works.
Look, you can stand by me. Okay?
Everything's business as usual. Go on.
So it's true. You sold out
Emberly for this?
I protected you the only way I knew how.
What makes her better than me?
She never bent her knee to a man.
There's a difference
between bent and broken.
But I wouldn't expect you to know.
She is the one who abandoned this place,
abandoned us.
I am the one trying to keep
it, trying to keep us together.
And this is the thanks I get?
No more special treatment for you, Mary.
It's about time you joined
the flock, little lamb.
Or shall I have you banished?
How long do you think you'd
last out there in the wilderness?
I don't want the girls to see.
It's a brothel.
No one cares.
I do.
I've never done this before.
No need to go through that trouble, luv.
I'm not fussy when it comes to this.
- Here, this'll do me just fine.
- Wait!
I'm embarrassed to ask this, but...
Out with it!
Would it be okay for me to be on top,
considering it's my first time?
Of course. Since you put it like that.
You've nothing to fear, really.
Now come and sit on Daddy's lap.
Yes.
That's it, my girl.
Yes.
That's it.
It was this man and Grant who
betrayed Harp to Lord Benton.
I know what happened, Sokanon. I was there.
I could take this fortune
of silver back to Montreal,
and you and your friends,
well, you could continue to
flee from the HBC trackers
with their stolen pelts if you prefer.
Don't listen to him.
What was all this for, if not for silver?
All that risk we took, it'd be
pointless if we don't sell the pelts.
I will not stand by while
you negotiate with our enemy.
- They're also enemies of the HBC.
- Michael.
You, me, Declan Harp, Samuel Grant,
we should all profit from
the demise of the HBC,
our common enemy.
We can't just walk away.
I will take my portion of the pelts.
- Sokanon...
- And I will leave!
That's not the deal.
Um, it's all or nothing.
You have no right to be angry with me.
I didn't know that... I was in her will.
Calm down.
Elizabeth took great
risks being a friend to me.
And leaving me this.
Aye. Her will was a testament
to the respect she had for you.
She never loved Peter. He was a
means to an end, and nothing more.
And to him, I was merely
a slave, which I am not.
We find ourselves in quite the predicament.
I'm the owner of the company
and you're its sole beneficiary.
Aye, and we've got Mr.
Pickersdick to thank for that.
Mr. Pickersgill is an old
friend of Elizabeth's father,
and he will do what he is told.
What exactly are you proposing?
The day Elizabeth disappeared, she told me
she was going to meet with Samuel Grant.
Now, she has...
had... the ability
to get under men's skin
and that was particularly true with Grant.
I know that he is responsible.
We don't stand a chance at winning Montreal
against the likes of Samuel Grant
if we don't find a way to come
together and make this work.
You have both dealt with that snake,
you must know this to be true.
You seem to have placed a lot
of trust in my brother and me.
Look, I know this business.
I know the processing from
raw pelt to finished hats.
I know how the frontiersmen work,
I know what the buyers want,
what products they prefer.
I know this business better than anyone.
But look at me.
I cannot do this alone.
We need each other.
But what I need to know
is, can I count on you?
Aye, you can at that.
Both of you?
If your word is good,
then I'll give mine
that I'll crack skulls
to protect what's ours.
- Aye. You can count on me.
- Aye.
It was awful.
I was just going in to get a sack
of grain, and as I was leaving,
I saw that there was feed
spilled at the top of the stairs,
so when I went to go clean it up,
that's when I saw him.
We're not doing it.
We take the silver and we leave.
Michael?
Maybe it would be better if you
dealt with the Brown Brothers.
Or the HBC.
Sokanon, look at this practically...
You don't see what's happening here.
- I'm trying to save the goddamn deal!
- We'll be fooled by him!
Attention!
My God!
Wahush!
Clenna, what the hell happened?!
He star... startled me.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, I didn't...
I didn't know.
Give me the silver.
- Vladimir Tetukin.
- Thieftaker.
I'll take care of him.
You go. I'll catch up.
Declan, I'm not leaving
without you, so don't even...
Neither of us get out alive
if I don't put this dog down.
And I can't do it with
you by my side, Grace.
Go.
I'll catch up.
Black Wolf.
Dead man.
Ma'am?
I'm, I'm to tell you something.
Now don't scream.
I know we only friends for little while.
And I'm sad to end you now.
- This is going to hurt.
- Yes, it is.
You should feel good, Black Wolf.
Because most men I kill by now.
Shit!
Let 'em fight.
You can do better, Black Wolf.
Your failure...
will cause the death
of everyone you know.
Perhaps I was wrong about you.
Argh!
You were right.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Shame it has to end this way.
Benton's here.
He has Grace.
That's not possible!
Let me go.
You know I can stop him.
Stand down.
Let this man go!
Goodbye, Fort James.
It was lovely while it lasted.
But all good things must be
traded for better things.
- Where the hell are you taking me?
- My dear, you are my guest.
First, to Moose Fort.
There are men there who are loyal to me.
Then...
to my home.
What now?
War.
we want to secure this fort.
That's why the HBC has offered
to pay 200 pounds for his head.
Benton's been taken into custody.
He's on a ship bound for London.
Benton is gone, and
the only way to get him back
is if we gut the entire Hudson Bay company.
You don't start a war to kill one man.
What you call war they call business.
If you issue a full pardon,
freeing Harp of all his crimes,
I will agree to be your wife.
You married Chesterfield... for me?
I'm here to establish a
business relationship with you.
Not many men have the courage
to shake my hand as an equal.
I'll buy your furs.
- It's not about taking sides.
- It's only about taking sides!
Betting on the Brown
Brothers was my mistake,
and now it'll be yours too.
We've made it!
They're coming. We've got to get going.
I know. I'm staying.
Harp. No.
Christ, let's go! Go, go, go!
Harp was set to meet
Elizabeth in the north.
I'm gonna leave at daybreak.
I'll take Clenna with me.
You have a way off the ship?
This is Michael.
He's a friend.
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.
My name is Wahush.
You turned my crew to mutiny.
You'll all do...
exactly...
as I say.
We need to get a move on.
We need to reach Petrie's Rock
before Carruthers' people leave.
You know someone who can
do this faster than me?
The HBC will have trackers on our tail.
Where's Sokanon? I'm not here for Harp,
or your money. I came for her.
She went to free a Cree
girl from Fort James.
She said she'd catch up.
We got to get the hell out of here.
Governor.
We've scoured the woods.
There's no sign of Harp
or that Irish prick.
- And the furs?
- No sign of them.
Their trail ends at the river.
Send scouts and 20 men
overland to cut them off.
Leave the rest here to secure the Fort.
- Yes, sir.
- No one leaves.
Search every house, cellar, stable.
Harp cut himself off to save his people.
He's still here.
Alright, boys. Where's the party?
- Where are the furs?
- Up your mother's fanny!
And there was still room for my big boaby.
Decent shot.
I want a location.
Do me a favour.
Don't give up your friends too fast.
Have you been eatin' shite?
I want every scrap of bedding washed.
What won't come clean, you can burn.
I can't get down to the river
with the Fort locked down.
Just get those out of here.
I'm so sorry you were forced
back into those ways, Imogen.
I knew what I was doing.
Get a sort of respect,
if you know what I mean?
Don't be naive.
No man respects a whore.
Depends on what you mean by respect.
You're worried about him.
That man does not need me
interfering in his business.
Shhh...
Grace.
Are you alright?
Am I alright?
Have you lost your bloody
mind, stealing those furs?
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
I suppose you're bleeding somewhere?
It's nothing.
Let's get you off the
streets and out of this Fort.
Hey...
I needed to see you.
Now, where are the furs being taken?
North.
Straight out of Hudson's Bay.
Governor.
Perfect timing. The

You're a deserter and a thief.
McTaggart, you were a redcoat?
I'm disappointed.
- For fuck...
- Would you like to be hung?
Thanks, I'm plenty hung already.
We'll see.
Governor Chesterfield?
Out with it already!
We have to talk. It's about your wife.
You bastard!
Oi!
It's clear.
They've blocked the west gates.
Maybe we can sneak you over the wall.
Unless you've got a 15foot ladder in here.
You're not helping.
What happened, Declan?
Benton's gone. I had the bounty lifted.
Why throw that away?
So you'd risk dying under their
boot, but you can't even admit why.
You haven't changed.
You should leave here.
You came back here to tell me that?
What I mean is...
I came back...
because what happened in Montreal...
it ended badly between us.
How should it have ended?
Different.
No, Declan, you do not
get to walk away from this.
Declan, look me in the eyes
and tell me you don't love me.
Search, there, there and here.
Go through each building inch by inch.
- No.
- I'm gonna tear him apart.
Declan, please. There will be

Empty every building.
He knows I'm here.
Wait, I'll distract him.
Grace, move. I'm gonna kill him.
Declan, please, do as I ask.
Stay here and hidden while I distract him.
Please, Declan!
What's going on?
You tell me, Grace! I know what's happened.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Imogen told me everything.
If you and Imogen are so close, why
didn't you marry her instead of me?
I will not accept my wife undermining
the operations of this company.
Imogen will take over license of the ale,

To Kamenna and the Lake Walker Council.
Who's that?
She is a leader.
A queen?
Like a queen.
Sokanon.

You've had your tongue stolen from you.
We're gonna work to help you get it back.
Is this your wife, sir?
Aye. It's her.
We do need to be practical here.
I mean, there are urgent issues before us.
Soon as this legal business is done,
we need to act fast to
conclude that deal with Harp.
It's the only way to put us
in an untouchable position
in this... fickle town.
I know who did this.
Grant?
I know in my bones.
I should've never let her go alone then.
Douglas...
you once passed out trying
to crack open a walnut.
You're no champion.
You want to beat Grant?
Let's use our heads.
Get our affairs in order.
Conclude this deal with Harp.
Tenthousand pelts?
That puts us right back where we belong.
Are there bears?
Yes.
Well, what do we do if we see bears?
Bears don't bother men.
- Why not?
- Because men have guns.
- I don't have a gun.
- My pet.
Cocked.
Now you have not a worry in the world.
Don't point that at me.

Mr. Pond and Mr. Grant

I'm here to do business with someone else.
Please.
You trust me.
I trust him.
Thank you.
Now sadly, Elizabeth Carruthers is dead.
So I am here to save you from
having made the trip for nothing.
How did Elizabeth Carruthers die?
I don't know.
God just called her home.
Now, Mr. Grant is a businessman.
And as his emissary, I'm here make
you a fair offer for your pelts.
Josephette,
what a pleasant surprise.
Josephette. I'm...
so sorry for your loss.

If you'll excuse us,
we have a meeting with the

Mr. Pickersgill has
provided me with instruction.
Right. Sooner we make this official,
the sooner... proper mourning can begin.
When can my brother take over the company?
Wait. What do you mean, "instruction"?
Elizabeth was a very thorough planner
and there are specific legal instruments
regarding ownership,
operation and control of her company.
The fuck does that mean?
Legal ownership is
transferred to Douglas Brown,
though power of attorney is
assigned to Mr. Pickersgill
to act on my accord.
- You?
- Take it easy.
"It is my explicit wish,"
my solicitor and executor Mr. Pickersgill
administer all my personal and real assets
for the benefit...
"of Josephette DaCosta."
You?!
It was her wish.
So... I own the company,
but you run it
through some solicitor
whom I've never met?
Yes. Exactly.
Would you please... excuse me?
I suppose congratulations are in order.
Shall we wait to proceed?
I think he's going to be a while.
Sokanon.
I thought you'd come around.
See reason.
And then what? Play the company wife?
After the way you've behaved?
What, Imogen? That meant nothing!
It was blowing off some steam!
I'm not talking about you and Imogen.
I couldn't care less about that.
I want us to be together, Grace.
As partners, like you said.
You took me in.
You mended my wounds. You told me that...
we could work together,
that I should remove Benton,
and gain a partner in you!
Just say it.
Declan Harp's between us.
- He is.
- Where the fuck is he, Grace?!
Grace...
Don't.
It's a very serious thing...
to put a blade to my
throat. You know that, right?
You took everything from me.
My business.
My freedom.
Say it.
Him...
Just do it.
If you really think I deserve
to die, fucking kill me.
I'm leaving Fort James.
And I'm never coming back.
Do not follow me, Jonathan.
We could have been fearsome together.
Harp made a deal with
Carruthers and Co., not with you.
Well, Carruthers and Co. Is now controlled
by Douglas Brown and
his pugnacious brother,
- Malcolm.
- Well, then, with all due respect,
I should be having this
conversation with the Brown Brothers.
The Brown Brothers are
incompetent businessmen.
A deal's a deal. I need
to speak with Douglas.
Michael.
You need to see who is
going to win Montreal.
Now, Mr. Grant's business
is prosperous and growing,
and the Brown brothers' is in decline.
So, Michael, be pragmatic.
Montreal is the future.
And whoever takes Montreal will
take control of the entire fur trade,
and the Hudson Bay Company
will continue to falter.
- Let me ask you something.
- Please do.
Why'd you drag her out here with you?
She's become very precious to me.
We've revealed quite a lot
to each other, haven't we?
And you know one thing she
did reveal to me was, um,
about all the years you spent
in poverty living on the streets of London.
You wouldn't want to go
back there again, would you?
You know, there's one good
thing about living like a thief.
What's that?
You learn to tell when a situation
is fucked. And I can tell...
that there's something
fucked about this situation.
Let's put a little honesty
in this conversation, though.
Those pelts that you're
trying to sell are stolen.
The HBC has every
capable scout on your tail
and you cannot outrun them.
Now, you need a buyer. I miraculously
have a chest of silver here.
And though this conversation
has been wonderful,
I think it's time we bring it to an end.
You make a choice. One way or the other.
Michael!
What are you doing?
Elizabeth Carruthers is
dead. We need a buyer.
- Where is Harp?
- He's not here right now,
- I'm here in his stead.
- Where is he?
I don't know.
Now then,
for the final time...
where are they taking those furs?
You're a bit slow on the uptake, you know,
you baldy bastard.
McTaggart. You might want to think
about letting him know
where we hid those furs.
Here, fucking woof!
You had enough??
Now, don't you fucking die on me!
Boom! Decent shot!
Let's get you out of there.
- Come on, my baby.
- Don't want to forget those.
English bastard!
Girls, they're here for
you. Don't forget that.
I've been doing this for
years. I know how it works.
Look, you can stand by me. Okay?
Everything's business as usual. Go on.
So it's true. You sold out
Emberly for this?
I protected you the only way I knew how.
What makes her better than me?
She never bent her knee to a man.
There's a difference
between bent and broken.
But I wouldn't expect you to know.
She is the one who abandoned this place,
abandoned us.
I am the one trying to keep
it, trying to keep us together.
And this is the thanks I get?
No more special treatment for you, Mary.
It's about time you joined
the flock, little lamb.
Or shall I have you banished?
How long do you think you'd
last out there in the wilderness?
I don't want the girls to see.
It's a brothel.
No one cares.
I do.
I've never done this before.
No need to go through that trouble, luv.
I'm not fussy when it comes to this.
- Here, this'll do me just fine.
- Wait!
I'm embarrassed to ask this, but...
Out with it!
Would it be okay for me to be on top,
considering it's my first time?
Of course. Since you put it like that.
You've nothing to fear, really.
Now come and sit on Daddy's lap.
Yes.
That's it, my girl.
Yes.
That's it.
It was this man and Grant who
betrayed Harp to Lord Benton.
I know what happened, Sokanon. I was there.
I could take this fortune
of silver back to Montreal,
and you and your friends,
well, you could continue to
flee from the HBC trackers
with their stolen pelts if you prefer.
Don't listen to him.
What was all this for, if not for silver?
All that risk we took, it'd be
pointless if we don't sell the pelts.
I will not stand by while
you negotiate with our enemy.
- They're also enemies of the HBC.
- Michael.
You, me, Declan Harp, Samuel Grant,
we should all profit from
the demise of the HBC,
our common enemy.
We can't just walk away.
I will take my portion of the pelts.
- Sokanon...
- And I will leave!
That's not the deal.
Um, it's all or nothing.
You have no right to be angry with me.
I didn't know that... I was in her will.
Calm down.
Elizabeth took great
risks being a friend to me.
And leaving me this.
Aye. Her will was a testament
to the respect she had for you.
She never loved Peter. He was a
means to an end, and nothing more.
And to him, I was merely
a slave, which I am not.
We find ourselves in quite the predicament.
I'm the owner of the company
and you're its sole beneficiary.
Aye, and we've got Mr.
Pickersdick to thank for that.
Mr. Pickersgill is an old
friend of Elizabeth's father,
and he will do what he is told.
What exactly are you proposing?
The day Elizabeth disappeared, she told me
she was going to meet with Samuel Grant.
Now, she has...
had... the ability
to get under men's skin
and that was particularly true with Grant.
I know that he is responsible.
We don't stand a chance at winning Montreal
against the likes of Samuel Grant
if we don't find a way to come
together and make this work.
You have both dealt with that snake,
you must know this to be true.
You seem to have placed a lot
of trust in my brother and me.
Look, I know this business.
I know the processing from
raw pelt to finished hats.
I know how the frontiersmen work,
I know what the buyers want,
what products they prefer.
I know this business better than anyone.
But look at me.
I cannot do this alone.
We need each other.
But what I need to know
is, can I count on you?
Aye, you can at that.
Both of you?
If your word is good,
then I'll give mine
that I'll crack skulls
to protect what's ours.
- Aye. You can count on me.
- Aye.
It was awful.
I was just going in to get a sack
of grain, and as I was leaving,
I saw that there was feed
spilled at the top of the stairs,
so when I went to go clean it up,
that's when I saw him.
We're not doing it.
We take the silver and we leave.
Michael?
Maybe it would be better if you
dealt with the Brown Brothers.
Or the HBC.
Sokanon, look at this practically...
You don't see what's happening here.
- I'm trying to save the goddamn deal!
- We'll be fooled by him!
Attention!
My God!
Wahush!
Clenna, what the hell happened?!
He star... startled me.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, I didn't...
I didn't know.
Give me the silver.
- Vladimir Tetukin.
- Thieftaker.
I'll take care of him.
You go. I'll catch up.
Declan, I'm not leaving
without you, so don't even...
Neither of us get out alive
if I don't put this dog down.
And I can't do it with
you by my side, Grace.
Go.
I'll catch up.
Black Wolf.
Dead man.
Ma'am?
I'm, I'm to tell you something.
Now don't scream.
I know we only friends for little while.
And I'm sad to end you now.
- This is going to hurt.
- Yes, it is.
You should feel good, Black Wolf.
Because most men I kill by now.
Shit!
Let 'em fight.
You can do better, Black Wolf.
Your failure...
will cause the death
of everyone you know.
Perhaps I was wrong about you.
Argh!
You were right.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Shame it has to end this way.
Benton's here.
He has Grace.
That's not possible!
Let me go.
You know I can stop him.
Stand down.
Let this man go!
Goodbye, Fort James.
It was lovely while it lasted.
But all good things must be
traded for better things.
- Where the hell are you taking me?
- My dear, you are my guest.
First, to Moose Fort.
There are men there who are loyal to me.
Then...
to my home.
What now?
War.
