00:00It's unbelievable.

00:03We're like a salmon.

00:30I wouldn't expect your king to be welcome in a place like that.

00:47No, no, not usually.

00:49But most of the boys in the year still need me in mind

00:52to make life easier for them down on the dark,

00:54so we agree to disagree, you know what I mean?

00:57These settlements are full of surprises.

01:01Well, maybe you should figure out the lay of the land

01:03before you put your feet up in a strange town.

01:06Point taken.

01:08Mr... what was it again?

01:11Ah, that's right.

01:13Medwin Harris.

01:14Champion of beaten, broken, black bastards.

01:19How am I doing?

01:21It's not bad.

01:23Mr. John Willett.

01:25At least that's the name you gave down at the stables

01:27when you collected that wagon of yours, huh?

01:31How am I doing?

01:33I may almost like you, Mr. Harris.

01:36And I don't much care for your king.

01:41The feeling's mutual, Mr. Willett.

01:45I'm guessing you just see coin and opportunity

01:47when you look at us, huh?

01:48A man has to make a living.

01:50Well, why don't you do it somewhere else?

01:52I've been at my job a while, Mr. Harris.

02:00It might be time to retire, enjoy the fruits of my labors,

02:04but it's hard to close the book

02:06when a chapter remains incomplete.

02:09The only one to get away.

02:22Trail went cold eight years ago near Virginia.

02:25It's been difficult to abide by that failure.

02:30Then I get word of a boy here

02:32conducting flying experiments

02:34like a certain Christopher Wilde once did.

02:37It's an unlikely coincidence.

02:39Mm.

02:41There ain't nobody up here to fit that description.

02:44In fact, I reckon you and your harness

02:47made so much noise,

02:50we fled off.

02:53See, what I suggest is that you continue on up north.

02:56Unlikely.

02:57I've been granted a second chance

03:00and I will make good.

03:01Well, you've done your research,

03:02so you already know

03:04I protect my people.

03:07Funny.

03:08I do the same.

03:22You know, there's just one thing

03:23I can't quite wrap my head around.

03:27Why owe that coin

03:28for a runaway?

03:32That's what happens

03:33when you kill a white man.
