00:01:24 (heavy breathing)
00:01:29 (weeping)
00:02:50 - What the hell?
00:02:52 - Aye.
00:03:00 - George!
00:03:04 - Woman: George!
00:03:12 - George.
00:03:14 George?
00:03:16 - Come back here.
00:03:19 - I did it.
00:03:21 I killed him, my husband.
00:03:23 It was me.
00:03:25 I'll get Mr. Mullen.
00:03:27 You stay here.
00:03:31 Oh, George!
00:03:36 Je suis Marie.
00:03:38 Y'a pas de George ici.
00:03:41 (weeps)
00:03:46 She's undone, sir.
00:03:49 Carried on
00:03:53 Man #2: Why not
00:03:55 Reverend's away
00:03:57 (coughing)
00:04:00 It's too hot in here.
00:04:03 Aye, sir.
00:04:06 Mullen: So...
00:04:09 Man #1: Your husband.
00:04:12 Mullen:
00:04:14 Your name.
00:04:18 - She can talk.
00:04:27 - Man #1: Careful, sir.
00:04:31 Here, sit up.
00:04:33 Come on.
00:04:35 (woman pants)
00:04:38 Mullen: She's covered
00:04:40 She's gone wild, sir.
00:04:42 Fill out the forms, Donnely.
00:04:46 I'll take her statement
00:04:48 - Should we feed her, sir?
00:05:03 This weather was sent
00:05:07 I'd rather freeze
00:05:20 Mullen's voice:
00:05:23 Chief Recorder, Hudson Bay Company.
00:05:26 In the absence of Governor Simpson,
00:05:29 to investigate
00:05:31 Who appeared last night
00:05:33 As I am inexperienced
00:05:36 I asked Dr. Jenkins
00:05:38 First of all,
00:05:43 Fine, then.
00:05:46 Perhaps he took shelter
00:05:49 Or perished.
00:05:52 - I've done a terrible thing.
00:05:57 And George as well.
00:06:00 How did you kill him?
00:06:03 With a rock.
00:06:06 I heard his skull crack.
00:06:09 Jenkins:
00:06:11 At the homestead.
00:06:13 We were building a fireplace.
00:06:16 - Why did you kill him?
00:06:21 I wanted to kill my husband,
00:06:24 - You haven't told us your name.
00:06:27 - And your husband?
00:06:30 And who's George?
00:06:33 His brother.
00:06:35 - Can you examine her now?
00:06:37 Right. Quite frankly, I'd rather
00:06:41 Would you like that?
00:06:45 Good. Take her over
00:06:48 Jenkins: It's not
00:06:50 Mullen: In the middle
00:06:53 cut off from civilization,
00:06:55 people do the unthinkable.
00:06:57 True, but no one has been
00:07:01 Nobody knows
00:07:05 She got lost,
00:07:08 How old do you think
00:07:11 18, 19...
00:07:13 it's hard to tell.
00:07:15 I'll have to take
00:07:19 What's this?
00:07:22 Purple.
00:07:24 Yes, I love purple.
00:07:30 Mmm...
00:07:33 your book?
00:07:39 I'll just put it
00:07:43 It's burnt, huh?
00:07:50 Okay.
00:07:54 You get in now.
00:07:58 we'll get some more water.
00:08:17 (churchbell tolls)
00:08:28 (music) Oh what needless pain
00:08:32 (music) Oh what needless pain
00:08:34 (music) All because
00:08:36 (music) All because
00:08:39 (music) We do not carry everything
00:08:44 (whistling)
00:08:46 - You cannot go with him, Annie.
00:08:48 Annie, get out!
00:08:51 Come on, get out!
00:08:59 - Annie...
00:09:02 Woman:
00:09:04 I told her to finish
00:09:07 Miss Creswell, I don't know.
00:09:09 She knew he was waiting.
00:09:11 Good... let him choose
00:09:14 - I want him to choose me.
00:09:17 - Again, I had the dream.
00:09:22 I want babies and a home...
00:09:24 - and a husband.
00:09:26 Came out of a big boil
00:09:29 They took it away,
00:09:32 - That's a lie.
00:09:42 Man: I do not care
00:09:44 I need a wife
00:09:52 Ah, here she is.
00:09:55 - She's awfully wee.
00:09:57 And willing.
00:09:59 She's French, but can read
00:10:03 No need.
00:10:04 She can sew just about anything...
00:10:07 she's been well instructed.
00:10:13 She'll do.
00:10:18 You won't be sorry,
00:10:29 You want to drown yourself?
00:10:41 The Scots make good whiskey.
00:10:43 At least they're good
00:10:45 - (knocking on door)
00:10:48 I put a damper on her.
00:10:50 My own.
00:10:53 - Thank you, Ruth.
00:10:56 It's burnt.
00:10:58 - Was there a fire?
00:11:01 It's a mistake
00:11:03 - I agree.
00:11:10 Come.
00:11:13 - Mrs...
00:11:15 Come sit on the table.
00:11:17 - I'll leave it to you.
00:11:19 Come on.
00:11:21 Come sit down!
00:11:26 Ah! we'll tie you down
00:11:29 Just hold her, Mr. Mullen.
00:11:31 Please.
00:11:33 Good.
00:11:34 Thank you.
00:11:37 I examine everyone that comes
00:11:40 It's for your own good.
00:11:44 How’s your sleeping?
00:11:46 Fine.
00:11:49 Have you heard
00:11:51 There's nothing more to say.
00:11:54 She won't be coming back.
00:11:57 And you, have you made
00:11:59 Well, I make
00:12:02 I change my mind.
00:12:04 Oh...
00:12:05 some frostbite.
00:12:08 Yes.
00:12:09 She's had
00:12:11 Lots of bruises
00:12:16 Yes, look at this.
00:12:18 A bite mark here
00:12:20 Human?
00:12:21 Yes.
00:12:24 Now lie back.
00:12:26 Mullen: Come on.
00:12:31 - Move your legs apart, please.
00:12:33 - Move your legs apart.
00:12:35 No one is going
00:12:40 Jenkins: Good. Uh... huh.
00:12:42 Uh... huh. Okay.
00:12:45 Very good.
00:12:48 Apart from the obvious,
00:12:53 The marriage was consummated,
00:12:57 I want her to take one teaspoon
00:13:01 It'll help calm her nerves,
00:13:06 - It'll probably improve her memory.
00:13:10 - Ruth, get her dressed.
00:13:14 Give her something
00:13:17 And leave the book!
00:13:19 Come. We'll dress you
00:13:25 Your first murder case,
00:13:38 I found it.
00:13:42 It's a bit worn.
00:13:45 You need something.
00:13:49 - Is this your room?
00:13:52 Mrs. Mullen brought all
00:13:57 That's enormous.
00:14:00 Do you have some scissors...
00:14:02 and needle and thread?
00:14:07 I'll ask.
00:14:11 Mullen's voice: "Tho' Women's minds,
00:14:14 May shift, and turn,
00:14:17 - The noblest breast..."
00:14:19 She's quite different
00:14:22 - She's talking.
00:14:24 - "The noblest..."
00:14:28 - you think that's safe?
00:14:35 Annie's voice:
00:14:37 except for the discomforts
00:14:39 I have never been so happy.
00:14:42 The country is magnificent.
00:14:46 I feel as though
00:14:49 Everything is new,
00:14:52 As soon as I am settled,
00:14:55 Perhaps you'll change
00:14:57 as there will be
00:14:59 handsome men
00:15:03 So far, Simon
00:15:05 He seems anxious
00:15:10 - What are you doing?
00:15:14 Get your animal.
00:15:16 up on the path.
00:15:25 Simon: Yah! Come on.
00:15:30 Yah!
00:15:34 Annie: Simon!
00:15:38 Simon: Yah!
00:15:40 Come on!
00:15:41 Get him going.
00:15:44 I can't!
00:15:51 Simon: The supplies
00:15:53 Get up!
00:16:02 Take off the blanket.
00:16:04 - What?
00:16:08 Not here.
00:16:10 Why not?
00:16:12 You're my wife.
00:16:14 - Yes, but...
00:16:19 Simon: It's your duty!
00:16:22 Ah! Damn rock.
00:16:44 Just do as I say.
00:16:52 - Spread your legs.
00:16:56 No!
00:17:25 That's what men
00:17:30 We did it just fine.
00:17:35 Next time you'll want it.
00:17:51 Good morning, Annie.
00:17:54 You want some nice,
00:17:57 - George?
00:18:00 What have you done?
00:18:05 Wow...
00:18:09 Look at this fine work.
00:18:12 Yes, it's very nice.
00:18:14 Wow...
00:18:16 Mullen: where did you
00:18:19 At the school.
00:18:22 School,
00:18:23 Yes.
00:18:25 Did your husband
00:18:28 No, he came and got me.
00:18:31 I see.
00:18:34 Sit down
00:18:38 And where is
00:18:45 I don't know.
00:18:59 Annie: Is that it?
00:19:06 Simon: George!
00:19:14 Hey, Simon!
00:19:17 Mullen: Eat.
00:19:22 No.
00:19:23 Listen to me.
00:19:27 There is no reason
00:19:29 You're in the worst possible
00:19:32 You've confessed to a hideous
00:19:36 hang by the neck out there
00:19:39 A hood on your eyes,
00:19:43 Don't you care?
00:19:45 Don't you want
00:19:51 - Where was George when Simon died?
00:19:55 He came back with a load of shingles
00:19:59 - Where's the body?
00:20:01 George and I buried him.
00:20:05 Simon:
00:20:07 I couldn't do much
00:20:11 You use your hands.
00:20:14 I did some chinking.
00:20:17 But I needed a fork
00:20:23 Hey.
00:20:24 Where are the supplies?
00:20:27 Ask her.
00:20:29 Didn't you?
00:20:35 Hey.
00:20:38 I thought there was a house.
00:20:41 There will be.
00:20:47 Hey.
00:20:48 Simon.
00:20:51 - I can't sleep outside.
00:20:56 Annie:
00:20:58 He's not sleeping here.
00:21:01 - You'll bunk there at the cabin.
00:21:04 Like hell you will.
00:21:09 You make us something to eat
00:21:12 take the packers back
00:21:15 Tonight?
00:21:17 Simon, she's tired.
00:21:19 - She hasn't done anything yet.
00:21:22 - I like working.
00:21:25 I didn't set the traps,
00:21:27 'cause there are a lot
00:21:29 But I got some berries.
00:21:32 - Berries?
00:21:35 Christ.
00:21:37 There's plenty of food
00:21:56 Annie's voice: It was like being
00:22:00 I felt so small
00:22:13 Henry,
00:22:16 I'm sure there'll be some pretty,
00:22:20 - (Jenkins chuckles)
00:22:23 I've written to every parish,
00:22:26 Within 20 miles.
00:22:30 Said she was walking
00:22:33 She could have been
00:22:36 She said she came
00:22:38 Lots of Scots out there.
00:22:40 Here's a sweet idea,
00:22:44 - She'd brighten up any party.
00:22:47 Oh, Mullen.
00:22:51 We're pretty much free to do
00:22:55 I'm going to the party,
00:22:58 Should be fun.
00:23:01 (drunken laughter)
00:23:03 (music playing)
00:23:37 Well... I'm out.
00:23:41 - I could play another.
00:23:44 I'll go wash up.
00:23:48 You should wash up too.
00:23:50 Shut your mouth, clever laddy.
00:23:53 I did win five games
00:24:06 George:
00:24:10 I lived with lassies.
00:24:11 They hate men who smell of old filth
00:24:14 You sound like a lassy.
00:24:26 Good night, Annie.
00:24:30 Good night.
00:25:00 - Simon: Come here.
00:25:03 - Simon: Come here.
00:25:10 - Simon: Stay still.
00:25:14 (groaning)
00:25:31 - Don't just push it. Pull it.
00:25:38 - Simon: Come on, you lass.
00:25:57 Go get another one, lass.
00:26:06 What do you think
00:26:08 Get up and do some work.
00:26:13 Thanks.
00:26:18 Oh, Annie.
00:26:22 - What is this?
00:26:24 and the night before.
00:26:26 No!
00:26:27 - You're kidding me.
00:26:30 Hummm...
00:26:37 (Annie chuckles)
00:26:39 (thud; groaning)
00:26:45 Stop it.
00:26:50 Stop it.
00:26:56 (Annie screams)
00:27:13 For God's sake, Simon!
00:27:15 - What are you doing to her?
00:27:18 Why are you hurting her?!
00:27:23 Simon!
00:27:28 God damn it, George.
00:27:35 - (thump)
00:27:38 George: I cannot stand
00:27:41 - (thump)
00:27:44 Simon: Stay away!
00:27:55 (branches crack)
00:28:14 Annie's voice: "I dream'd I lay
00:28:17 Gaily in the sunny beam;
00:28:18 List'ning to
00:28:21 By a falling crystal stream."
00:28:40 George: That's it.
00:28:43 I'll get you back.
00:29:05 George: Annie.
00:29:11 No, no!
00:29:21 One storm in that tent
00:29:42 Ruth: Mr. Mullen agreed
00:29:46 Don't mind if she doesn't talk.
00:29:50 I heard you singing.
00:29:52 I have something.
00:29:58 A letter? You wrote it?
00:30:01 That's something
00:30:03 - Learn to write.
00:30:09 This is William Sellor.
00:30:11 He has some dresses
00:30:14 Costumes.
00:30:19 Are you sure
00:30:21 I can't afford to have it fail.
00:30:25 Ruth: She's an artist.
00:30:27 Look at her work. Here.
00:30:29 Yes, it's real nice.
00:30:31 It is outstanding.
00:30:34 - But...
00:30:39 I've done a few sketches...
00:30:42 to inspire you.
00:30:45 Here are the measurements
00:30:48 Both dresses are for her.
00:30:50 Are you familiar
00:30:52 - No.
00:30:56 about a young girl
00:30:58 She falls madly in love
00:31:05 Woman: Hello!
00:31:07 Hey. It's the Treeces.
00:31:12 Welcome.
00:31:15 Simon: Oh Christ.
00:31:17 Hello, George!
00:31:19 I just stopped by to see
00:31:21 if you folks would come over
00:31:23 we haven't had a chance
00:31:26 We don't have time
00:31:29 - Don't mind him, Mrs. Treece.
00:31:34 With pleasure.
00:31:35 We miss seeing you
00:31:38 Well, I've been anxious
00:31:41 Not working on Sundays,
00:31:46 - Would you like some tea?
00:31:49 We're on our Way
00:31:51 Simon, we'll be
00:31:54 before the weather changes,
00:31:58 Is there anything you need?
00:32:00 No.
00:32:03 It must be very awkward
00:32:06 alone with
00:32:09 No, We manage very Well.
00:32:11 You have a lot of work to do
00:32:17 Well, now, here's something
00:32:21 A fireplace open on both sides,
00:32:25 Simon says
00:32:27 Mr. Treece:
00:32:29 You're sleeping out here?
00:32:33 You're welcome to sleep
00:32:36 Well, it's not so bad.
00:32:41 I've got that bear rug
00:32:43 You're building too close
00:32:48 This whole area floods
00:33:00 Hup!
00:33:09 We didn't need his help,
00:33:13 He's hoping we'll fail
00:33:16 Or he'll marry
00:33:18 You'd be daft enough
00:33:20 - You borrowed the house, Simon.
00:33:24 He isn't so smart.
00:33:26 Lots of places have fireplaces,
00:33:29 Every house in Orkney.
00:33:34 Annie: That Jenny does have
00:33:37 Pure and simple.
00:33:39 Nothing's pure,
00:33:44 (people chatter)
00:33:49 - Five?
00:33:52 Good night.
00:33:54 Good night.
00:34:05 Sir?
00:34:12 Annie gave me this to mail.
00:34:15 So I thought I should
00:34:17 Thank you, Ruth.
00:34:28 Annie's voice: "Dear Sadie,
00:34:30 I'm in terrible trouble.
00:34:33 so I won't write of my situation
00:34:37 "If you make your way here,
00:34:40 the fort headquarters,
00:34:44 Yours affectionately,
00:34:47 It says nothing.
00:34:49 It says she's keeping
00:34:53 I'll post the letter.
00:34:55 Then, if Sadie exists,
00:34:58 and we can learn what
00:35:01 Good idea.
00:35:14 George: (music) Talk not of love (music)
00:35:18 (music) It gives me pain (music)
00:35:21 (music) For love
00:35:26 (music) He bound me with (music)
00:35:29 (music) An iron chain (music)
00:35:33 (music) And plunged me
00:35:40 He wrote that
00:35:42 Agnes Craig,
00:35:47 A lover.
00:35:49 You have a haunting voice.
00:35:52 No wonder
00:35:56 There was not much to sing about
00:36:04 I thank God every night
00:36:07 You've been
00:36:15 - (Annie sighs)
00:36:18 and make supper.
00:36:27 Annie...
00:36:30 if you were my wife...
00:36:32 I would worship you.
00:36:51 Mullen's voice:
00:36:53 and no light has been shed
00:36:57 nor on the location
00:36:59 Her youth and open demeanor
00:37:02 But in my experience,
00:37:05 is always a mistake.
00:37:08 I think I'd better
00:37:10 Thank you.
00:37:16 Look at this.
00:37:19 "Sadie Johnson...
00:37:22 Oh dear.
00:37:24 - You want to tell her?
00:37:28 For one thing, she's writing
00:37:31 Yes, I see what you mean.
00:37:33 A man in your position
00:37:36 but not all truths
00:37:39 Exactly.
00:37:41 She has a bold script,
00:37:44 Yes.
00:37:46 Yes, a fascinating lass,
00:37:50 (music plays)
00:37:58 George: (music) Till all the seas
00:38:02 (music) And rocks melt
00:38:04 (music) And I will love thee
00:38:07 (music) While the sands
00:38:22 Mr. Treece:
00:38:24 - What confidence.
00:38:27 You've got a real
00:38:30 Where did you learn
00:38:32 Well, I was raised
00:38:36 a schoolteacher.
00:38:38 Simon was not so lucky.
00:38:41 He was raised
00:38:43 a woodsman.
00:38:45 I can sing a tune...
00:38:47 but you might not
00:38:50 I wanted to go on at school.
00:38:53 But Simon was impatient
00:38:56 How wonderful
00:38:59 - You can sing at my church.
00:39:03 We're leaving now.
00:39:06 Get your coat.
00:39:08 No, son. we thought
00:39:11 It's pitch black
00:39:13 I didn't want to come
00:39:17 - We could get up early, Simon.
00:39:19 God damn it!
00:39:22 I wouldn't think
00:39:25 - I'm staying.
00:39:28 God will protect you.
00:39:31 I hope you'll come back
00:39:35 Maybe I can't read
00:39:38 but I can do a day's work,
00:39:40 - and not whine about it.
00:39:42 I just wanted to thank you
00:39:47 and for your hospitality.
00:39:49 - God bless you all.
00:39:52 - 100 times over.
00:39:55 The wolves would be chewing
00:40:03 You saw how he was.
00:40:05 Oh don't mind him, George.
00:40:08 I made a raisin pie.
00:40:10 Sit down.
00:40:12 Thank you.
00:40:14 Jenny made
00:40:34 Simon, I'm falling!
00:40:45 You think I'm stupid?
00:40:47 You think I didn't see
00:40:52 I should leave you both
00:40:54 George!
00:41:12 Get down.
00:41:22 Make a fire.
00:41:43 You're not ready?
00:41:46 Simon, I don't want to.
00:41:50 Let's get it nice
00:41:53 Take everything off now.
00:41:56 Just sit down and...
00:41:58 I'll undress for you.
00:42:01 I'll take off everything.
00:42:04 Just sit there.
00:42:13 George will be here soon.
00:42:16 Be very quiet,
00:42:34 George: Annie!
00:42:36 Annie!
00:42:39 Annie!
00:42:40 Are you all right?
00:42:42 - Geor...
00:42:45 God damn you.
00:42:49 - Get the hell away from here.
00:42:55 Annie,
00:42:57 - Anything.
00:43:01 Tell him, honey...
00:43:03 how much you love
00:43:06 I'm fine, George.
00:43:09 No...
00:43:11 Annie: No, don't! Don't!
00:43:14 - Annie.
00:43:16 - Annie, please.
00:43:19 Please, go.
00:43:38 (Simon groans)
00:43:44 George: Christ.
00:43:52 Mullen:
00:43:56 I've had a response
00:43:59 - A Reverend McBain.
00:44:02 He says he arranged the marriage
00:44:06 Seems to know a great deal.
00:44:10 And...
00:44:12 he says that this has been
00:44:17 Why did you come here?
00:44:21 Have you ever looked
00:44:26 No, not a dead man's.
00:44:30 My daughter...
00:44:34 - I'm sorry.
00:44:37 But that doesn't
00:44:39 No, sir.
00:44:41 Death is forever.
00:44:45 Heeyah!
00:45:31 Annie,
00:45:34 Reverend McBain, of course.
00:45:37 Poor wee child.
00:45:40 We've gone over every idea.
00:45:43 - Have you seen George?
00:45:49 He's distraught
00:45:53 as I'm sure you are.
00:45:55 Annie...
00:45:59 George told us
00:46:03 I think not, Reverend.
00:46:06 I think not.
00:46:11 What have you
00:46:15 I'm going to marry
00:46:22 Tell George not to lie
00:46:25 unless he's absolutely certain
00:46:31 Aye, we'll make
00:46:33 Her mother was a Catholic,
00:46:36 Make him go away,
00:46:38 Nobody's accusing her
00:46:40 You weren't there, Reverend!
00:46:43 Will you just listen to me?
00:46:45 Calm down, Reverend.
00:46:48 - (Annie hums)
00:46:59 Mullen: Did you believe
00:47:01 Reverend: He's a member
00:47:03 - He swore it is truthful.
00:47:12 Am I wicked or insane?
00:47:20 Annie: George!
00:47:25 Annie...
00:47:26 it's all right.
00:47:29 Let's get inside.
00:47:37 Take me away.
00:47:46 We could start over...
00:47:48 our own place,
00:48:07 Simon: God damn you.
00:48:16 No, don't!
00:48:24 No!
00:48:36 - Annie: George!
00:50:19 Annie:
00:50:21 He's fallen asleep.
00:50:24 I'm sure
00:50:26 He can apologize to Satan,
00:50:28 What if the fire goes out?
00:50:31 Mr. Treece:
00:50:33 George: I'll talk.
00:50:37 Jesus!
00:50:38 Simon,
00:50:44 - Get off my land!
00:50:47 - I'm here to help!
00:50:50 For God's sake, Simon!
00:50:53 We can't stay here.
00:50:58 Simon: walk away!
00:51:02 We need help!
00:51:05 You want to lose this place?
00:51:08 George, Mrs. Herron,
00:51:11 Simon:
00:51:13 - Leave us alone!
00:51:17 Hey!
00:51:28 Now you have one last chance
00:51:31 You get on that horse
00:51:33 And you stay
00:51:36 Or you leave here alone...
00:51:39 and you don't
00:51:46 George.
00:52:35 Annie's voice: "Oh Sadie,
00:52:38 of me mailing this letter,
00:52:43 Thank goodness
00:52:46 I fear that the worst
00:52:49 (ruffling pages)
00:52:50 "They've been gone
00:52:53 and I'm afraid George
00:53:02 (Annie sings)
00:53:08 (Jenkins chuckles)
00:53:12 Merry Christmas, Annie.
00:53:15 I've brought the key.
00:53:22 I've brought you
00:53:24 I thought perhaps
00:53:26 Would you like a sip?
00:53:35 Ummm...
00:53:37 I thought it was high time
00:53:41 Just to be sure, of course.
00:53:45 Do have a seat, please.
00:53:52 Pull down
00:53:58 Good.
00:54:05 I'll take your boot off.
00:54:07 What are you doing here?
00:54:09 Get out of here,
00:54:15 Silly Scotsman.
00:54:18 Hush now, Annie.
00:54:21 Just let the doctor
00:54:26 Annie...
00:54:30 - Stop!
00:54:33 - Stop!
00:54:35 - It's Christmas, Mr. Mullen.
00:54:38 - Open this damn door!
00:54:41 I'll be with you
00:54:43 Mullen: Pull up your damn pants!
00:54:52 You drunken fool.
00:55:04 Don't tell me you never thought
00:55:20 He finds you
00:55:25 I tell you what,
00:55:27 come over to my house for a nice
00:55:33 (laughter)
00:55:35 See, nothing in the bowl.
00:55:38 Nothing in the bowl.
00:55:40 Rub it and make a wish.
00:55:45 - (children gasp)
00:55:50 Sing a song for us, Annie.
00:55:52 - Oh...
00:55:55 Come on.
00:56:02 (music) My love is like a red,
00:56:05 (music) That's newly sprung
00:56:08 (music) My love is
00:56:11 (music) That's sweetly
00:56:14 (music) As far as thou,
00:56:17 (music) So deep in love am I (music)
00:56:20 (music) And I will love you
00:56:23 (music) Till a' the seas
00:56:45 Annie's voice: I thought
00:56:46 and that it was Simon.
00:56:50 But in fact,
00:56:52 Wearing Simon's coat.
00:57:09 Annie: Oh mon Dieu!
00:57:17 What happened?
00:57:22 George, what happened?
00:57:58 Annie's voice:
00:58:00 What should we do?
00:58:07 When did it happen?
00:58:09 Yesterday?
00:58:13 You got in a fight?
00:58:17 It was an accident?
00:58:21 Don't you worry.
00:58:23 Everything will be
00:58:25 - A tree fell on him.
00:58:28 He was my husband,
00:58:30 No one did.
00:58:33 He worked hard.
00:58:35 Aye.
00:58:37 Annie's voice:
00:58:39 I felt a tremendous sense of relief
00:58:43 I wanted to put everything
00:58:46 as though he had
00:58:48 as though it was George who had
00:58:52 My prayers
00:59:05 God forgive me.
00:59:08 Of course
00:59:11 It was an accident.
00:59:13 Close your eyes.
00:59:16 God will tell us
00:59:17 Our Father
00:59:21 hallow be Thy name;
00:59:23 Thy kingdom come,
01:00:18 We should go
01:00:21 - And the reverend.
01:00:24 I've covered the body.
01:00:27 Tomorrow.
01:00:31 Get in there quickly
01:00:39 It's so peaceful here.
01:00:41 Aye.
01:00:43 I had a wee nap
01:01:13 Everything will be
01:02:37 I wanted you from
01:04:39 Annie.
01:04:41 My apologies. I didn't mean
01:04:46 I was worried about you.
01:04:48 I spoke to Mr. Treece.
01:04:51 - Annie: Oh.
01:04:53 Yes, good of you to come.
01:04:57 Reverend.
01:04:59 Welcome.
01:05:01 George.
01:05:05 - Where is Simon?
01:05:09 to the fort.
01:05:12 We needed a new axe.
01:05:14 Mr. Treece was very upset.
01:05:18 He told me
01:05:20 Not at him. In the air.
01:05:23 I didn't think
01:05:26 Yes, Simon...
01:05:29 - he was upset.
01:05:32 I see.
01:05:33 - Well, I'd like to talk to him...
01:05:36 - He's sorry.
01:05:38 I don't want to make
01:05:40 - When will he be back?
01:05:50 We are all very worried
01:05:53 Do you not think
01:05:55 to find yourself a place
01:05:58 We're doing fine, Reverend.
01:06:00 - Truly.
01:06:02 We'll build it better this time.
01:06:04 We'll manage.
01:06:06 - Would you like some tea?
01:06:11 I can see you're busy.
01:06:25 George.
01:06:27 Why did you lie to him?
01:06:28 Why did you lie
01:06:33 To give us time together...
01:06:36 now.
01:06:37 But why not just tell him
01:06:40 Annie...
01:06:41 I want to be with you...
01:06:44 alone with you... now.
01:06:48 To love you.
01:06:50 But we have to give Simon
01:06:55 No.
01:06:56 - I'll bury him here.
01:06:59 He didn't believe in God.
01:07:02 It's what he'd want.
01:07:07 - Where are you going?
01:07:19 Mullen's voice:
01:07:21 I have determined to journey
01:07:23 to investigate for myself.
01:07:25 Mr. Mullen.
01:07:27 I'll be gone by the time
01:07:32 This country is testing me.
01:07:34 I must confess
01:07:37 You were right to send
01:07:40 You can send me some
01:07:43 I'd be interested to know
01:07:52 There you go.
01:07:55 Mullen's voice: The decision
01:07:58 Weighs heavily upon me.
01:08:05 The difference between Mrs. Herron's
01:08:07 by Reverend McBain is so striking
01:08:11 I've sent word of my desire
01:08:13 and to interview all involved.
01:08:22 (gunshot)
01:08:24 George: God damn it!
01:08:26 - Piece of shit!
01:08:29 The wolves.
01:08:31 I'll go tomorrow to get a shovel
01:08:34 - You were gone a long time.
01:08:37 I needed time... to think.
01:08:40 - About what?
01:08:43 I don't know much
01:08:46 Simon was the one
01:08:48 I was brought up
01:08:51 in a big house,
01:08:53 I don't think
01:08:56 You won't be alone.
01:08:59 Our farm will be
01:09:02 We'll have chickens
01:09:05 - and babies.
01:09:08 L...
01:09:11 I don't even care
01:09:16 What are you thinking?
01:09:19 I have nowhere else to go.
01:09:22 It's not right.
01:09:26 What we're doing,
01:09:28 it's not right.
01:09:31 I know.
01:09:34 We should have waited.
01:09:45 All right...
01:09:47 but I want you now.
01:09:49 I can't help it.
01:09:51 I don't want to face
01:09:55 I just want you.
01:10:08 Annie...
01:10:10 What will become of us?
01:10:39 Henry Mullen. I'm looking
01:10:42 Mr. Treece: He's not here.
01:10:46 I've sent word with Reverend McBain.
01:10:49 - Never mentioned it.
01:10:51 - Take a statement.
01:10:54 You can stay with us.
01:10:57 It wasn't right, her being
01:11:00 Simon was mainly stupid,
01:11:04 George is a sweet laddy.
01:11:07 We feel so badly for him.
01:11:09 He's hardly said a word
01:11:11 When they first arrived, George
01:11:15 Then she arrived. The reverend said
01:11:19 - We had them for supper.
01:11:22 - Jenny: George didn't want to go.
01:11:26 Henry went over and
01:11:30 - A gun?
01:11:32 told Reverend McBain.
01:11:46 I'll take them straight-away
01:11:49 She will be so pleased.
01:11:53 I have nothing
01:11:55 Yes.
01:11:57 Yes, this is absurd...
01:11:58 - you in here.
01:12:01 Yes, well...
01:12:02 freedom has little to do
01:12:09 Allow me.
01:12:14 I will be back.
01:12:30 Mullen's voice: The sparseness and
01:12:33 Life here would be
01:12:36 under the most favorable
01:12:44 There was a grave,
01:12:48 But it was empty...
01:12:50 the surrounding soil
01:12:53 Someone had been here recently,
01:12:57 still smoldering
01:13:03 Annie's voice:
01:13:06 (gunshot)
01:13:20 (animal whining)
01:13:35 What are you doing here?
01:13:39 I'm investigating
01:13:41 My name is Henry Mullen.
01:13:44 George Herron.
01:13:48 I'm here to examine
01:13:51 your brother.
01:13:52 It was an accident.
01:13:54 There seems to be
01:13:58 Put that gun down.
01:14:05 You told the Treeces
01:14:08 I was. I am...
01:14:10 but I decided
01:14:12 - To check the trapline.
01:14:15 In the fireplace.
01:14:18 Wolves dug him up.
01:14:21 It was...
01:14:23 gruesome.
01:14:26 Some parts were dragged
01:14:30 chewed to the bone.
01:14:33 So I gathered up everything
01:14:37 - and I burnt it.
01:14:41 I couldn't think
01:14:46 - How old are you?
01:14:49 17...
01:14:51 I know your story, from both
01:14:55 Now I think you should tell me
01:14:57 There's not much to tell.
01:15:00 My brother had an accident.
01:15:01 I saw it with my own eyes.
01:15:05 And Annie... his wife,
01:15:08 Well,
01:15:10 it undid her, I guess.
01:15:14 - She took off.
01:15:17 Aye. We get along all right.
01:15:20 We both like
01:15:23 And your brother?
01:15:25 Did you get along with him?
01:15:28 Simon and I didn't have
01:15:31 But he worked hard.
01:15:33 He wanted to make a better life
01:15:36 - And I appreciated that.
01:15:40 What are you doing?
01:15:43 I' m taking your brother's
01:15:45 - You're taking them?
01:15:47 They'll be returned to you
01:15:50 - Or we can bury them for you.
01:15:53 Very well.
01:15:56 Are you going to continue
01:15:59 It's all I have.
01:16:00 Mr. Treece says he'll
01:16:04 They've been very kind to me.
01:16:06 And I'll try and
01:16:22 What will become of Annie, sir?
01:16:24 If the evidence supports
01:16:26 We'll charge her...
01:16:28 and she'll go to trial.
01:16:30 - So she can hang?
01:16:34 And if she is found guilty,
01:16:37 for withholding evidence.
01:16:40 You're under
01:16:42 Aye.
01:16:43 But she's not guilty,
01:16:46 I can say that
01:16:49 I'll need a sworn statement
01:16:51 - Aye, sir.
01:16:55 I like to live, sir.
01:16:57 My brother taught me
01:17:07 Mullen's voice: My journey has both
01:17:11 That crushed skull
01:17:13 But George Herron is adamant...
01:17:18 I now had a picture
01:17:20 a hard life
01:17:23 Hard enough to drive
01:17:26 Or murder?
01:17:31 My inclinations were at war
01:17:33 I am of a mind to charge her
01:17:54 - Mr. Mullen is back.
01:17:57 He's very tired. He slept
01:18:00 - Did he speak to George?
01:18:04 - I must talk to him.
01:18:07 He doesn't report
01:18:10 Hand me your linens.
01:18:15 And your rags?
01:18:37 - Ah, Mr. Sellor.
01:18:41 - Yes. Is there a problem?
01:18:44 Mrs. Herron asked me to mail this,
01:18:46 her last letter to Sadie Johnson
01:18:51 I find it peculiar
01:18:53 I thought it best. She's been
01:18:56 I tell you what,
01:19:01 I would never forgive myself
01:19:05 She's done enough harm to herself,
01:19:08 How’s it coming along...
01:19:10 - Full rehearsal this evening.
01:19:12 - I look forward to seeing it.
01:19:14 - Mr. Sellor?
01:19:16 Don't mention anything
01:19:18 Please.
01:19:28 Will you have
01:19:31 Yes, I'll be dining
01:19:33 The girl would like
01:19:36 I'll speak
01:19:38 - Sir...
01:19:49 Annie's voice: Dear Sadie, why
01:19:52 I can only think
01:20:06 Hell is truth.
01:20:11 He was no longer a boy.
01:20:13 The child was gone in him.
01:20:20 (animal growls)
01:20:49 Get away from there!
01:20:51 Go!
01:20:52 Go!
01:21:02 Go!
01:21:03 You don't scare me!
01:21:53 The cut had been
01:21:55 Deep and gruesome,
01:21:58 and right through
01:22:05 Whatever had happened
01:22:08 had ended in betrayal,
01:22:12 And it was all
01:22:14 I had set them
01:23:11 I told you
01:23:15 You say it was an accident.
01:23:18 - Just like you said.
01:23:23 Help me.
01:23:25 (George screams)
01:23:38 (crack)
01:23:53 George: I killed him.
01:23:56 I watched him spout
01:24:00 And there was no sign.
01:24:07 You wanted him dead, too.
01:24:11 We're both guilty,
01:24:14 But nobody need judge us.
01:24:21 I did it for you.
01:24:28 He was going to come back
01:24:30 Laughing at me.
01:24:34 He was talking crazy
01:24:39 So I picked up the axe...
01:24:43 and I flung it wildly.
01:24:46 And he went down...
01:24:49 With one scream.
01:24:52 Then he just looked at me.
01:24:56 And that was it.
01:25:00 It was much too easy.
01:25:10 Much too easy.
01:25:28 Aren't you coming to bed?
01:25:30 Maybe we both wanted it.
01:25:34 But it was me that did it.
01:25:37 I'll never say
01:25:43 It was better when
01:25:48 Because every time
01:25:50 I remember pulling that bloody blade
01:26:20 (horse neighs)
01:26:31 Where are you going now?
01:26:33 The truth is
01:26:36 I cannot sleep
01:26:38 - I'm going to the fort.
01:26:41 - not just you.
01:26:44 just tell them the truth
01:26:48 I'll turn myself in.
01:26:52 Don't go!
01:26:54 I hope that I never
01:27:19 Annie's voice: I waited
01:27:22 I thought George had gone
01:27:25 for a crime that was
01:27:28 Finally, I could
01:27:33 (breathing heavily)
01:27:43 I know my part in this.
01:27:46 But I did truly think
01:27:49 as much as I loved him.
01:27:56 How has she been?
01:28:01 Not so well.
01:28:04 And sick in the mornings.
01:28:07 She is with child.
01:28:13 She's having a baby.
01:28:16 You can't hang her now,
01:28:19 It's not up to me, Ruth.
01:28:22 I think it is.
01:28:24 I know it is.
01:28:29 Annie's voice:
01:28:31 I have an enormous
01:28:33 Please send word immediately,
01:28:47 Mr. Mullen.
01:28:51 - I have something to tell you.
01:28:54 please, take a seat,
01:29:09 This has been returned.
01:29:26 I'm so sorry.
01:29:33 Have you come
01:29:37 Not yet.
01:29:38 It's more complicated
01:29:40 That's all I can say.
01:29:51 I'll have Ruth
01:30:43 Mullen: "In the matter
01:30:50 In the matter of
01:30:52 it is the conclusion
01:31:00 It is the conclusion
01:31:02 that there's insufficient evidence
01:31:05 For any criminal act.
01:31:06 Mrs. Herron suffered
01:31:09 brought on by her mistreatment
01:31:12 The result is that she believed
01:31:14 in his accidental death,
01:31:16 Wishing as she did,
01:31:19 Her better nature
01:31:21 and she is therefore
01:31:43 Ha! Get along!
01:31:46 Nice day for getting married.
01:31:53 Come on!
01:31:58 Minister: According to the duty
01:32:00 forsaking all others
01:32:03 keeping faithful and truth
01:32:06 as the Word of God and
01:32:09 George:
01:32:11 before God and in the presence
01:32:15 Minister: The Lord sanctify,
01:32:18 the riches of His grace upon you,
01:32:21 and live together in love
01:32:24 Could you all please rise?
01:32:29 (music) The Lord is my shepherd (music)
01:32:33 (music) I shall not want (music)
01:32:36 (music) He makes..."
01:32:38 Annie's voice:
01:32:41 did get control of the land,
01:32:43 just as Simon said he would.
01:32:45 (music) He leadeth me (music)
01:32:49 (music) The quiet waters by. (music)
01:32:56 (fiddle playing)
01:33:37 - (clapping)
01:33:40 Your turn, ladies!
01:33:42 Ladies' choice.
01:33:46 George, as your sister... in... law,
01:33:53 (music c starts)
01:34:01 I'm so sorry, Annie.
01:34:04 - I failed you.
01:34:06 We have to do it, George.
01:34:11 You didn't tell me
01:34:14 Not his... yours.
01:34:19 It's a girl. Sadie Herron.
01:34:22 But she'll be known
01:34:24 so she'll have a legitimate
01:34:29 Aye.
01:34:31 Of course.
01:34:34 (clapping)
01:34:36 I know you'll do well
01:34:40 I will.
