the sin of the flesh.

Do you, father?

"In France, long ago"?

No, here.

Sin of intent.

Here.

I've lusted after her.

Kneel with me...

and say an act of contrition.

Father, Life is not so simple

for the rest of us.

I am not a Jesuit.

You said you wanted to

serve God.

Yes, Father, but I...

I'm afraid of this country.

The Devil rules here.

Controls the hearts

and minds...

of these poor people.

But they are true Christians,

they live for each other.

They forgive things,

we would not forgive.

The Devil makes them resist

the truth of our teachings.

Why should they believe them?

They have an after world of

their own.

They have no concept of one.

Annuka has told me...

they believe that, in the forest at night,

the dead can see.

Souls of men hunt

the souls of animals.

"Is that what she told you?"

It's childish, Daniel.

Is it harder to believe

in a paradise...

where we all sit on the clouds

with a good God?

Black Robe.

Oh, God of mercy...

Please, Bless

this innocent child.

Where are my paddlers?

You promised.

You go with your own mission

to the Hurons, alone, Black Robe.

Ask your Jesus, to help you,

Black Robe.

Lord...

If it be Thy wish that

I suffer greater tribulations

in the days ahead...

I welcome it.

Thou has given me this cross

for thy honor...

for the salvation

of these poor barbarians.

I thank Thee.

Father, Forgive me.

What for?

For the things I said to you.

For leaving you.

God is with us.

He is the one who forgives us.

Sing.

Sing!

The arrowhead is still there.

If we try

to remove it, you will die.

You want to be one of us?

What do you think now?

The Iroquois are not men.

They are animals.

They're the same as us

or Hurons.

If they showed pity, others

will say that they are weak.

Tomorrow...

do not cry out.

If we do cry out, "Will they stop?"

No, They would not stop.

But if you cry out when you die,

they will have your spirit.

When I die, Chomin,

I will go to Paradise.

Let me baptize you

so you will go there also.

Why would I go to your paradise?

Are my people there?

"My wife? My son? There's

only Black Robes there".

We go downstream to my people.

No, We go upstream

to the Huron mission.

You're so weak, The Iroquois

could easily catch you.

And they would not expect you

to travel away from your people.

You're not so stupid, Black Robe.

Lord, I beg you...

show your mercy

to these savage people...

who will never look upon Your face

in Paradise.

Tell me, Black Robe...

What does your dreams see now?

I'm too weary for dreams.

But you must.

If you do not... how do you see

the way that lies ahead?

I trust in God.

He will guide me...

all the way to Paradise.
