Barkskins

Cooke: I came here merely to store excess barrels.

Mathilde: And if you agree to my terms,

You will leave with a french wife.

Bouchard: Previously on barkskins...

Gay bill: I should like to have those barrels of pistols you promised.

Cooke: They are lost to me.

Gay bill: Is that so?

Hamish: You left this. Cross: Let me go.

I'll walk into the woods and begone.

Hamish: You've lost your mind, randall.

.

Bouchard: When I have settled this iroquois matter...

You and I, we might go for a stroll.

Mari: Tell him I saw what the ram's insides spoke of.

Melissande: What are you talking about?

Mari: Tell him I saw his end.

Melissande: Get out!

Teyaronhïio': You are still wendat.

Leave theo with us.

Fight for your place with trepagny.

Mari: Please.

.

René: The englishman wants us to come for them.

It's a trap.

Bouchard: They want french, but we send an englishman.

Cooke: Pistols for the dead.

.

.

.

.

.

Gay bill: What's this one on about?

Hamish: He wants mercy.

Gay bill: Does he?

I'll hear your last words, french.

.

.

Come on, now, friend.

What else have you achieved besides skinning pelts and

Trudging through snow?

.

Gay bill: Now there's a life's work.

What else?

Hamish: He's given it.

Gay bill: No. No, he's got more to say.

Hamish: We are all animals.

Now there's a final truth.

Give it if you're going to give it.

Gay bill: I will guide the wood into your heart.

.

.

Hamish: Dead man's ring will bring dead man's luck.

.

.

.

.

Elisabeth: Help me.

Yvon: Is this what you wanted?

Hamish: Enough. We're done killing innocent people.

Gay bill: Done?

A company man's work is never done, hamish.

We aren't done until every french settlement is torched.

Hamish: She has no stake in this.

Let her go.

Gay bill: She stays here.

You'll go remind mr. Cooke of the deal he struck for the pistols.

Hamish: And when he has his pistols?

Gay bill: He's agreed to go north,

Take the settlement at pont rouge.

Wobik's well defended. Even he knows that.

Yvon: I'll go with you.

Hamish: No. This is my burden to bear.

Stay here, watch the girl.

Yvon: You will control them.

Gay bill: Your indian will make sure she's safe until you return.

Hopefully.

Mathilde: Captain.

Bouchard: Mathilde, delphine.

There is a fierce, damp cold this morning.

Delphine: It'll be an early winter.

Bouchard: Mm.

Mathilde: If it is another walk you're after, captain,

I am busy today.

I am preparing monsieur trepagny's wedding feast,

And it is a feast that will put the harvest celebration to shame.

Bouchard: That is the exact topic I came to speak to you about.

Mathilde: All right.

Outside, if you must.

Bouchard: There is a mighty fondness lurking in that girl for rabbits.

Mathilde: Renardette, tell captain bouchard what you have named it.

Renardette: Bouchard.

Bouchard: Oui?

.

That is a proper name for such a beast.

Hopefully it doesn't end up in the cook pot.

She told you where her parents are?

Mathilde: I...

She will tell it when she is ready.

For now, I keep her engaged in simple tasks.

Bouchard: Mathilde, now is not the time to be traveling to trepagny's.

With the iroquois about.

Mathilde: We will be with the intendant and his men.

Besides, mother sabrine has returned the dead,

And mister cooke has proved his mettle.

I do believe the iroquois matter is behind us.

I am going to trepagny's.

He has hired me. That is the end of it.

.

.

Bouchard: Then I will escort you to this cursed wedding celebration.

See that you get there safe.

Mathilde: Your clothes will need a wash.

Bouchard: I'll see to that.

Mathilde: Good. Now leave me to my business.

.

Melissande: You were gone a long time.

Trepagny: Yes, I stopped to watch a bird.

Melissande: A bird.

Trepagny: A cunning black bird.

It was going after a woodchuck.

Melissande: And after, where did you go?

Trepagny: If you wish, I will fetch rene sel down from his

Work so you can ask him.

Or perhaps mari can bring the basket herself so you can

Peck at her with your questions.

Melissande: I only have one question that matters.

Have you found a solution to mari?

Trepagny: No, not yet.

But look, we have these baskets of well-prepared

Food each day.

Mari does not cross your path.

She is in the cabin, you're here.

In the manor house.

It works, melissande.

I will not banish her.

Melissande: Her presence is a challenge to me.

Do you own the land?

I look and see smoke from her cabin and I know she is here.

Trepagny: There is no dark magic to undo the past.

My ancestors tried, they were burned at the stake.

Melissande: I don't wish to undo the past,

Just fix the present.

.

What if you... Gave her to rene?

He has eyes for her.

I've seen it.

This is all I want for our wedding celebration.

To know that we are bound and there is no woman

With a claim on you.

So, it is a clever fix.

Trepagny: Well, it is a fix.

Melissande: Good. Then talk to him.

.

Trepagny: Monsieur sel!

René: You should come up.

Have a look.

Trepagny: No. I will save it for the ceremony.

Melissande and I will see it together as we look out over

The doma properly bound.

Man and wife. It will be my gift to her.

René: That is a good gift, sir.

Trepagny: Yes.

There is another she asks of me.

Uh, it is something you can help me with.

René: I'll come down.

Yes, the favor?

Say it and it shall be done.

Trepagny: You came here to new France in search of land

And to build a family.

René: Yes.

Trepagny: What if I were to give you that land?

And in return, you take mari to be your wife.

I have seen the way you look at her...

Supping together...

René: No. I have never looked upon her like that.

Trepagny: Do not lie.

She is a woman, you are a man.

You have looked at her, is it not so?

René: Yes.

I have looked.

Trepagny: Then she could be your wife.

René: But she is yours.

And she will never agree to a match she has not made herself.

Trepagny: She is not mine.

She never was.

I simply wish to know that she is taken care of,

Not tossed from the doma,

As my dear melissande would have me do.

Land, monsieur sel.

I will give you the cabin and all the land around.

Perhaps, even, a lake.

Say you will talk to her.

René: Yes.

I will talk to her.

Trepagny: Good man.

It is better this way.
