00:00All I found was death.
00:11I'm okay.
00:13I'm okay.
00:17Good boy.
00:21Did you drag me back to shore?
00:24Where's everyone else?
00:26Is...
00:33Oh, no.
00:36Elan?
00:38Elan, where are you?
00:41Therese?
00:43Marie?
00:46Anyone?
01:10That's right.
01:12We can't be the only ones.
01:14We can't be.
01:17Come on, boy.
01:18Let's look for survivors.
01:37The captain's eau de vie.
01:41The captain's eau de vie.
01:50Was he drinking when the storm hit?
01:58That drunkard! This is his fault!
02:05Come on, boy.
02:17Is anyone out there?
02:20It's me, Jeanne!
02:58Oh, no.
03:01This is Elen's.
03:03But it's all...
03:05No, no, no, she can't be.
03:14Our Lord who art in heaven, grant me courage too.
03:17My rosary.
03:20Where's my rosary?
03:22It has to be here.
03:25It has to be somewhere.
03:27It has to.
03:30God, please.
03:33Not this too.
03:47God.
03:48That's so much blood.
03:51I don't even want to think about what happened.
04:09Hello?
04:11Can anyone hear me?
04:14Anyone?
04:16You've found him.
04:28He's...
04:29He's gone.
04:34They're all gone.
04:35Why, God?
04:38Why take them?
04:40Why leave me alone again?
04:48A Bible.
05:11Lord,
05:12if finding your holy book here means you still watch over me,
05:17please,
05:18guide me to safety.
05:20Guard me from death.
05:22I need you now more than ever.
05:31I know, boy.
05:32I know.
05:35Come on.
05:36We need to get help.
05:38I don't know how far Quebec is, but...
05:49Easy.
05:51Easy.
05:53Easy.
06:01Something's out there.
06:21The lands Inukal home are more than hunting grounds.
06:26They're bridges to our past.
06:28There, I walk the paths of my ancestors,
06:31track the same prey,
06:33cross the same rivers.
06:36But that day,
06:37the past felt distant.
06:42Something changed my home.
06:44Scarred it.
06:46And I needed to know why.
06:54More frostbitten flowers.
07:04Wind's colder, too.
07:07Good.
07:08Still on the right trail.
07:20Whole forest feels off today.
07:24The animals must fear that chill in the air, too.
07:29Hmm.
07:30Maybe great-grandfather was right.
07:32Maybe this cold really is driving the caribou away.
07:36But then,
07:38what drove this cold here?
07:41Huh?
07:48Sap hasn't thawed.
07:51This is recent.
07:54Need to be careful.
08:08Frost alone can't cause damage like this.
08:12Something else door through here.
08:15Something big.
08:17No sign of prints, though.
08:42But this is a special thing.
08:42Thank you so much.
08:42You're welcome.
08:44Slow and dry, too.
08:59Oh, no.
09:04I don't understand.
09:08Who or what would do something like this?
09:31No use. The woods too wet.
09:36Dead branches from the forest might work better.
09:40But...
09:46Lord, I pray for your protection.
09:50You are my hiding place.
09:52Under your wings, I find refuge.
09:56Protect me.
09:58Please.
10:00Please.
10:04You're getting cold too, huh?
10:11Hmm.
10:17Boy?
10:17Boy?
10:52It's hopeless. Everything's soaked.
11:10I know, boy. I miss them too.
11:15At least we have each other.
11:20I miss them too.
11:48Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
11:56I guess we...
11:57What's wrong?
12:12What is that thing?
12:16Wait.
12:18Is it searching the wreckage?
12:21Oh, God.
12:22We can't let it see us.
12:31On three.
12:34One...
12:37Two...
12:38Three.
12:45Boy, no. Just stay, please.
12:52Please, don't.
12:55Boy, no.
13:01Oh, God, it's coming.
13:04What do I do?
13:06What do I do?
13:08God, I'm begging you.
13:10Don't let this happen.
13:12Please, please don't let me die.
13:22What the...
13:26Jesus Christ.
13:28You're a long way from home, little lady.
13:38Good boy.
13:40Where are the others hiding?
13:43There are no others.
13:45It's just us.
13:47You're serious?
13:49God damn it.
13:51So much for finding help.
13:55Uh...
13:55I take it you've been freezing all night, huh?
13:59You know how to sew, girl?
14:01Huh?
14:03Sewing.
14:04You know, with needles and thread and shit.
14:07Know how?
14:09Yes, I do.
14:12Finally, a bit of luck.
14:14So, I can't exactly take care of this on my own.
14:20But I can trade you a fire for a couple of stitches.
14:24Sound fair?
14:42How do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?
14:46Heh heh.
14:48Easy.
14:49You don't.
14:51But unless you feel like waiting for someone else to show up,
14:55I suggest you make do with me.
15:01And that's how I met Pierre.
15:04The man who saved my life.
15:06The man who started all of this.
15:21A good friend once told me,
15:23never let fear or hate prevent understanding.
15:27But that day,
15:28I didn't want to understand.
15:38I wanted to wake up from a nightmare they created.
15:47Ugh.
15:49That stench.
15:51Rotting meat?
15:58No!
16:04I'd seen death before.
16:06But this...
16:08was something else.
16:10Something worse.
16:24I could taste his agony amid the stench.
16:28See it in his eyes.
16:30His spirit was crying out in pain,
16:33begging to be freed from that decaying prison.
16:43His snow-white fur had been hacked off,
16:46not skinned.
16:54His remains were gaunt,
16:56like he'd been starving.
16:58Yet the white man hadn't eaten a single scrap of him.
17:05It felt as if his killers wanted to hurt him,
17:08even in death.
17:18Forgive me, Wolf.
17:20I wish I could give you the peace they failed to.
17:24Craig Grandfather may know how to slow your rot, but...
17:27Huh?
17:28Huh?
17:29Huh?
17:32Huh?
17:33Huh?
17:52The white man's camp.
18:06He's...
18:08dead.
18:17Huh?
18:19He froze to death, but...
18:21it wasn't slow or gradual.
18:24More like he was mauled by cold.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:38You don't deserve this any more than the wolf does.
18:41A hunter told me white men do this to help the dead rest.
18:45I hope it makes your journey easier.
18:53That's odd.
18:54His moccasins are gone.
18:57Stripped bare and left behind, just like the wolf.
19:01Someone else was here.
19:02And he robbed this man.
19:06Why?
19:08What kind of mantush defiles his brother instead of burying him?
19:17Still a few embers.
19:19Fire's been out for a day, at most.
19:41Fire's been out for a day, at most.
19:51That's some serious frost damage, and whatever did this must have done the same to him.
20:05A tanning wreck. Must have been used for the wolf's fur. But it's gone now, likely taken by the other
20:14man.
20:17He looted the camp, left his friend's body laying here, and ran off with the white wolf's hide.
20:24Now then, where did he go?
20:32Prints are deep, spaced far apart. He ran.
20:54Left behind some belongings, but no sign of the white belt. Still, for him to just drop all this?
21:02No sign of the white belt.
21:31My father was right. Our elders once spoke of a winter spirit who lashes out when nature is defiled.
21:40Should its anger go unappeased, frigid weather would follow, causing countless deaths.
21:47I had to find the one who did this, retrieve the white fur he had stolen, lay the dishonored wolf
21:53to rest, and fast.
21:55Or else, the coming winter would be my people's last.
22:10To be continued...
22:28To be continued...
22:30To be continued...
22:32To be continued...
22:32The other girls told me stories about men like him.
22:36Called them swashbuckling heroes.
22:39Men who could conquer the new world's wilds and beasts.
22:43But well, my first impression of Pierre was that he was a wild beast.
22:54All right, all done.
22:58Don't strain or the stitches might break.
23:00Much obliged.
23:03Still can't believe you thought I was a werewolf, though.
23:13I didn't mean to, but you were acting like I... I mean, I thought...
23:19Relax. I'm just teasing.
23:22Still, after hearing that story, you're luckier to be alive than I thought.
23:29You, uh...
23:30Have my condolences, though.
23:34Lost a friend myself not long ago.
23:37I know it ain't easy.
23:40For what it's worth.
23:44I just...
23:45Don't understand why God would let this happen.
23:49New world's a harsh place, Jan.
23:52Lots out here can kill.
23:54And ain't much a warn you before trying.
24:00My line of work taught me that, at least.
24:07You make it sound like you came close to dying.
24:10I have.
24:11More than once.
24:14Fur traders like me learn not to take nature lightly.
24:17And fast.
24:19Cause if it ain't bears or locals that get ya, it'll be bad weather or plain old hunger.
24:25And these days...
24:27I can't shake the feeling there's something else out there, too.
24:34Sooner I'm back in Quebec, sooner I sleep with both eyes closed.
24:38You're headed for Quebec?
24:40Oh, thank you, God!
24:42This is perfect.
24:44You can take me with you.
24:46You kidding?
24:47No way in hell I'm doing that.
24:49Hike from here to Quebec takes weeks, woman.
24:52And I'm already lugging twice the load I oughta.
24:56Having you to worry about on top of that would be a goddamn death sentence.
25:05So...
25:05What?
25:06You'll just leave me here to die?
25:09No, I'll just let the cavalry handle you.
25:12Shipment of soldiers.
25:13Carignasse Allier or some shit, not a sail by here in about a week.
25:19Wreckage this size is easy to spot.
25:23So signal them clearly.
25:24They'll probably stop to sail you home.
25:37Probably?
25:38You want me to wait here alone?
25:40On the off chance the military maybe stops to help me?
25:45If they don't stop, I'll die, Pierre.
25:49Look, I get your point, but...
25:52It's still safer here than out there, okay?
25:56Oh yeah?
25:57Then stay with me.
25:59We can both take the ship home.
26:00Yeah, I can't do that.
26:04Why not?
26:05Why?
26:06Doesn't matter.
26:08Point is, you can't come with me.
26:11End of story.
26:26You came all the way out here for money, right?
26:30Then...
26:31What if I paid you to take me back?
26:34Aha.
26:35You're kidding, right?
26:37The hell would you even pay me with?
26:39You're broker than a dead Indian.
26:41I have fifty livres worth of dowry money.
26:44You get me to Quebec, it's yours.
26:48Fifty?
26:49Goddamn, you're lying.
26:50No one desperate enough to come here has.
26:53I'm a fille du Roi Pierre.
26:55We all were.
26:57King Louis paid to send us here and marry colonists.
27:00If you give me time to search for bodies, maybe I can find their dowries too.
27:07Fifty livres and maybe more.
27:08If you agree to take me back.
27:11Do we have a deal?
27:15It's...
27:16Look, what I'm carrying is worth practically double what you're offering.
27:21And someone with no idea how to survive out here is gonna be...
27:28A whole lot heavier than hides.
27:31That's not true.
27:33Because...
27:36Because I'm not as helpless as you think.
27:39For one, I know how to treat wounds and fevers.
27:42Those stitches prove it.
27:44I've got a dog who listens to me.
27:46And that's valuable for any outdoorsman.
27:49I can skin animals, cook, sew.
27:52No?
27:53I'm...
27:56Far from useless.
27:59Besides, if it's too dangerous for me, it's not safe for you either.
28:04Both our odds will be better if we have someone watching our backs.
28:11Oh...
28:13Can you hunt?
28:16Shoot a gun?
28:17Follow tracks?
28:18Tell which plants are toxic and which ain't?
28:20Anything like that?
28:23Uh...
28:24I can learn.
28:28Good answer.
28:30You handle orders well, Xan?
28:32Mostly.
28:35Got more fire in you than I gave you credit for.
28:39Fine.
28:40You win.
28:43Keep up.
28:43Keep your word.
28:44We got a deal.
28:45The minute you can.
28:46We're done.
28:48We clear.
28:48Take care.
28:49Reps to sleep.
