"If you don't find Harp," "I have a feeling something bad will happen to that sweet little girl of yours." "[Water quietly laps, fire crackles]" "And I swear to Christ he pissed himself right there in front of me!" " [Soldiers laugh]" " That's not what she said!" " [Soldiers laugh]" " I know, exactly." "Come on, lads." "Do you want see your other rifle!" "[Soldiers laugh]" " Have some of this." " Pass it round, pass it round, yeah." " That's not the same." " Did you bring that out?" "It's a ration." "[Urine splashes]" "[Water laps on shore]" "♪♪" "[Violent thump, big splash]" "Oh, dear mother of Mary, we are in the fire now." "Deliver me, Lord, of all people, your loyal shepherd" " [soldiers shout and groan] - in this time of great peril!" "[Soldiers shout, gurgle]" "Follow." "Now." " No, no, please!" " Follow." "Now!" "You don't understand!" "[Nervous stuttering] I'm a man of God!" "A priest of the church!" "Please!" "[Fire crackles]" "Coffin: [Panting]" "[Whispers] These are Harp's men." "They are ruthless." "Why did you say you'd be my guide if you didn't actually have the courage to take me?" "[Gasps] It's time you stop talking." "[Water flows, wind blows, birds chirp]" "[Water flows rapidly]" "[Footsteps clunk]" "[Quiet chatter in the distance]" "This is a far worse place than I've ever seen." "Hey!" "[Grunts]" "Michael, I've done my work brought you to the interior, my job here is done." "If we survive this you should know that I expect full payment, and a little extra for my trouble." "[Speaks quietly]" "I found them in the bush." "Three soldiers." "[Quiet chatter in French]" "[Fire crackles]" "♪♪" "[Footsteps crunch in the foliage]" "Why were you with English soldiers?" "I had nothing to do with those hateful pigs." "Their leader threatened to kill me." "I, I just want to be paid as per my contract with young Michael here and I'll be on my way." "Dimanche:" "You're not going anywhere, priest." "The soldiers found us wandering in the wilderness, lost." "They were gonna take us back to the fort." "And why were you wandering in the wilderness?" "I was looking for you." "I want to make my fortune in the fur trade and I hear you're the man to help me do it." "You're gonna have to do better than that, lad." "Why are you with this..." "Priest?" "Michael:" "I hired him as my guide but... but I learned he was lying to me" " and had no intention of helping me." " No, Michael, that is not completely true." "Mr. Harp, I am a man of many contacts." "Many of them are great suppliers of fur." "I could easily connect you to them upon my return to civilization, of course." "Dimanche:" "I know this one." "He's a loudmouth drunk." "He can't be trusted." "Coffin: [Laughs nervously]" "You're right, that's me, but I, but I can change." "I'm better than that, you'll see." "What better place to turn over a new leaf than here?" " He needs to die." " [Gasps] Harp," "I am a man of divine provenance!" "Keeping me in your company will put God on your side!" "You are of no value to me." "You can't just kill him!" " I won't let you kill him!" " [Gasps harshly]" "You watch, boy!" "Take 'em both!" "[Hard thud]" "Michael:" "I have information on Lord Benton!" " I have information on Lord Benton!" " Harp: [Growls]" "All right, boy, you have my attention." "Tell me about Benton or join the priest." "[Pants loudly]"
