The Savage Innocents Page #2

Here is bearskin...

...here is snow knife.

Now Imina is married to me.

Why don't you take little Asiak?

This man has made decision.

She is just as worthless.

But there is nothing Imina can do...

...that Asiak cannot.

But someone wants Imina and not Asiak.

Imina was yours for the asking.

It will be easy to catch Kidok.

But your dogs are tired.

They are still much faster than his.

When he is caught...

...someone will shove

a knife in his throat...

...cut out his tongue and

put it on top of his head.

Cut off his ears and

stuff them in his mouth.

Then someone will open his chest...

...and fill it with ice.

If you kill him...

...no one will ever

admit you in his igloo again.

Not even you?

- No.

Even a seal would do

the same to another seal...

...if he took his woman.

A seal could kill...

...and still have the

company of other seals.

But a few things make a

man different from a seal.

Somebody will give him...

...a good clubbing.

Good.

But if he puts up

resistance in the least way...

...he shall be killed.

If you cannot help killing

him, eat a bit of his liver...

...to conciliate his ghost.

An angry ghost is very dangerous.

Why don't you take Asiak along?

Then it will be easy to

make an agreement with Kidok.

He has paid for Imina...

...and we cannot let

him go empty-handed.

This old and useless

woman will live with...

...whichever husband takes Asiak.

Maybe you are not so stupid.

Kidok!

Kidok!

Asiak, come. We have caught Kidok.

Kidok, I catch you.

Why are you chasing Kidok?

To catch Imina.

You must be stupid.

Asiak.

Asiak.

Please get off, help make igloo.

Come.

Women stay here.

You stay and freeze.

Why don't you sleep?

Someone's feet are too cold.

Inuk, parka.

Look.

Inuk...

...we saw you follow us.

I've come to take Imina.

If you put up resistance...

...someone will kill you like a seal.

Why not stay with Asiak?

Someone doesn't want Asiak.

She can scrape hides

and sew boots...

...and do all the

other things women can do.

This one wants Imina...

...because...

Because...

Nobody can force a woman.

Imina is free to go

with you if she wishes.

So.

In that case...

...will Asiak join

a worthless hunter...

...that doesn't want to travel alone?

Yes.

You hurry.

My mother goes with us.

We will take her.

Someone has changed his mind...

...and will take Asiak after all.

But you said one

woman is as good as another.

Take whichever

woman you want...

...as long as you reload my sled.

You come on.

You come. Go.

Kidok.

Asiak.

Asiak.

It is possible that this

silly woman is not so easy...

...to put down like a bear.

Asiak.

Asiak, you are my wife.

We must not fight. We must laugh.
