They took their sweet time with it.

At the start, I didn't feel nothing.

I just heard the sound...

...of the knife

scraping against my skull and...

...them all laughing and whooping

and hollering and whatnot.

Then the blood came.

It was cold. It started streaming down my face,

in my eyes, and...

...breathing it in.

Choking on it.

That's when I felt it.

Yeah, felt all of it.

I got my head turned inside out.

Jesus.

Them Indians down Texas way...

...they may rob you, but they

ain't gonna take your topknot.

When was it?

Goddamn it, will you quit that noise now,

will you?

Quit it.

I'm falling further back from Henry

and the boys on account of tending to you.

Got to get up the damn mountain,

but winter keeps chasing us down.

If you ready to take the sacrament...

...I can do that for you.

What you holding to, Glass?

You know...

...it would be better...

...if you were to take that

last breath of yours now...for all of us.

Now you hung tough.

And that's something.

I'm begging you.

Them Ree are so close I can smell 'em.

You can smell 'em, too.

You got to think of your boy. All right?

'Cause you're gonna kill him.

You'll kill us all.

I can muzzle you if you like.

Take away this suffering quick and easy.

No one ever has to know that you give up.

All you have to do is blink

if you want me to do that.

Save your boy and blink.

You just have to blink.

Yeah. There it is.

You'd best hope the good Lord'll

get His ass here quick, huh?

Maybe He'll forgive your sins, maybe not.

Thus I do commend thee to the Lord.

Through Jesus Christ the Lord

of all reality and mercy...

...and the Father and the Creator,

I hold thee--

Get away! Get away!

You okay? Jim! Jim! Help!

Help!

Calm down.

Jim! Help!

Don't shout! You're gonna get us all killed!

Keep away! I'll tell the Captain

what you did. They'll hang you!

-They'll hang you! Jim, help!

-We have an understanding.

What's f***ing wrong with you people?

Sh*t.

I got one beaver, Hawk.

Breathing changed?

I hadn't noticed.

Damn, he's cold as ice.

Here you go, Mr. Glass.

This will help you. Keep you warm.

It's all right.

Where's Hawk?

He ain't with you?

No.

No?

I understand, Mr. Glass.

It's all right.

I think I'll get a fire going.

Yeah. Sounds like a good idea.

Hawk!

Hawk!

Ree.

There's about 20 of them

down by the creek.

They're headed this way.

Grab your sh*t and let's go.

Sh*t. What do we do?

Run, right now.

-What about Hawk?

-He ain't our problem no more.

We can't just leave him.

Either he's gutted or scalped.

And if he ain't he can find us, can't he?

What about Glass?

He ain't our problem.

Like us, he's on his own.

We made a promise to the Captain.
