Seraphim Falls Page #5

Synopsis: In the 1860s, five men have been tracking a sixth across Nevada for more than two weeks. They shoot and wound him, but he gets away. They pursue, led by the dour Carver, who will pay them each $1 a day once he's captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon's flight and Carver's hunt require horses, water, and bullets. The course takes them past lone settlers, a wagon train, a rail crew, settlements, and an Indian philosopher. What is the reason for the hunt; what connects Gideon and Carver? What happened at Seraphim Falls?

I don't know how long.

No sense in rushing it now.

The war is over, sir.

It has been three years.

Won't never be over.

It was war.

War.

War is men fighting, you son of a b*tch.

That weren't war what you did.

It was orders.

Orders you gave, Captain.

Yeah. There we go.

All right, Danny, your turn.

Hit it round the edges, nice and hard.

Watch your fingers. Get your balance.

Get your balance. Put that leg over.

Nice and hard now.

Now you're getting it.

Now you got it.

Now you got it.

It's not gonna bite you.

Danny, come here.

Get off this land.

Ma'am, we have it on good information

that this is the home

of Colonel Morsman Carver.

- He's my husband.

- Is he here, ma'am?

No. He's not here.

- Search the house, Lieutenant.

- Yes, sir. House, march.

Show them the hard hand, boys.

- Check upstairs.

- The cellar's clear.

Where's the Colonel, ma'am?

Mind yourself, Lieutenant.

Where is he, ma'am?

Fire the barns. Leave the house.

No! Stop!

- Rose!

- No.

- No!

- Colonel!

- Where are your men, Colonel?

- The war is over. You know the war is over.

- Where are your men?

- I released them.

- Months ago, I released them.

- And the cannon?

Shattered all to hell.

Abandoned outside Atlanta.

Get your hands off me, you Yankee scum.

No! My baby, please!

Let go! Let go!

No!

Rose! Let go of me!

Danny, no!

Danny! Danny, come back...

Danny! Danny, come back!

Oh, God. Somebody, help me.

You said the house was empty.

You...

You son of a b*tch.

God damn you to hell.

God damn you to hell.

You said the house was empty!

They're Rebs, Captain.

You burned that house.

And them in it.

Your turn now.

"For they that take the sword

"shall perish with the sword."

Enough! Enough!

It's done.

It's done.

Forty miles to Red Rock City.

You head over that ridge, you'll be all right.

You keep coming after me,

you ain't going to find nothing but torment.

You will pay for that life,

or you will pay with yours.

I'm going to fill my skin

and water the horses,

and then I'll be leaving.

That there's life.

Nothing 'round here is free.

Ain't got no gold.

You can look for yourself.

How to value a man's life?

How 'bout

one for another?

The black one is good.

Leave him.

You may go.

"Blessed be the Lord, my strength.

"He teaches my fingers to fight

and my hands to war."

Amen.

Come on.

Leave me be, old man.

That your horse?

No.

It's yours.

Go as you wish.

That which is yours

will always return to you.

That which you take

will always be taken from you.

That's for the water, not the horse.

A man could die out here if he's not careful.

I didn't see you come up.

That's 'cause you keep looking behind you.
