Hey, honey.

Get in the car.

Posse, please.

I've got magazines and a whole lot of other things for trade.

For cheap.

I've got a letter here to deliver.

Anybody know Alexander Dante?

Sir, if you deliver that letter, you will do no business here.

I made a promise to deliver that letter. Promises do not apply to people like

him. People like him? Yeah, people like him.

Well, I was told he was a good guy. I mean, what'd he done? He doesn't exist.

So your letter doesn't exist.

Don't worry.

You won't be blamed.

Others came with letters. They were not blamed.

The letters simply vanished.

This one can't vanish.

You've proven your courage. Now prove your sense.

A man can't have both. If you so much as try to deliver that letter. You're

threatening me over a letter. Oh, I would never do anything.

But there's others that might.

Okay.

It doesn't exist.

Hey. You know where I could find Alexander Dante?

Follow that river. Get

the

horse.

Get the horse.

Have a good ride?

Where's my horse?

Oh, not to worry.

She was treated very cordially.

She was organic, yes.

There's a bit of leftovers, if you'd like.

Where's

my

letter? Oh.

They ate it. Hell, the young ones, they were ready to eat your vest and not stop

until they gnawed on your ribs, but I wouldn't let them.

We're not 100 % savage.

I hope that keeps you warm. Oh, it'll keep me warm. Don't worry.

I look good, huh?

Hurry back now and visit anytime.

Alexander Dante?

Who's there?

I mean you no harm.

All right, you've had your look at me. Go away!

You're not afraid of me. Why would I be? And why would I listen to those hateful

villagers? Plus, I think they ate my horse.

Yeah,

that sounds like three points of hospitality to me.

All right, come on, I'll get you some hot coffee.

The chill out of your bones.

Oh, what brings you here, huh?

You're a salesman, a prospector? Not actually.

I brought you a letter.

A letter?

I have no friends and family.

Who would write me?

They tried to stop me, but I promise that I will bring you this letter.

You're another one of those crazy bastards trying to tell me that you got

letter from my dead brother. I swear to God, I will bury you outside like the

rest of them.

All right.

Who is it from?

Your brother.

You're not even from Three Points. What do you want with me?

Who are you?

I'm just a stranger.

I promised I would get you this letter.

I told you, I don't want any of your letters!

I'm sorry, it's us.

No.

Hey, you a cheater. What? Hey, it's not my fault you think I'm that good. No,

no.

The darkest liquor.

And the lightest spirit.

Donna!

Donna! Get over here.

This freak!

Murderer!

What exactly did this guy do?

What do you mean?

Why do we hate him?

How do I know?

Like I have nothing about you.

You have value by life.

Seems you and your nag are worth...

More dead than alive.

You defeat my family for weeks.

Look at my shoes.

And my jacket. They're worth something.

You better beg.

I'm not begging.

They'll make me a worm.

It's easier to kill a worm than that.

Give me that paper.

All right, you boys ready to lose some coin on this one? All right. Here we go.

Ready?

Is it really you?

I thought you were dead.

Kate!

Kate!

I couldn't die happy.

My brother and my wife, finally, under the same roof.

I thought you were dead.

I thought you were dead.

I need a drink.

I think you do too. Everybody needs a drink.

Drink for everyone, please.

Oh, right here.

It is so wonderful to have you here, Alexander.

So wonderful.

Edwin's waited so long for this.

So long.

Everyone, to my brother.

Cheers.

Welcome home, brother.

You must be tired from your long journey, Alexander.

Him?

Tired?

You ready to show them what you can do?

For years you've been saying your brother would be showing up here. We

beginning to feel he didn't exist. If you want something enough, it will come.

I have something to show you.

Here, sit down.

You don't like games of strength?

They have their time and place.

Is it that you don't want to show up for your brother?

I wouldn't worry about that.

If you do lift it higher, no one will be happier than Edward. No man is happy

being second birth.

You're very serious.

All middle -aged men are serious.

I feel death approaching.

Approaching or not, death is unknowable.

It's life that's worth serious thought.

Are you married?

Was that what life is?

Marriage?

No, I'm... I'm not married.

I probably know less of the human heart than most men.

I doubt that.

I can be blunt.

Yeah, so can I.

It's got me in trouble my entire life.

I know trouble very well.

And with a man I've just met.

A brother -in -law.

Shameful.

I wonder why it is that, honestly, you're so admired in a man, but so

in a woman.

Look what I have kept.

Here.

It's good to see that you two are becoming friends.

Your brother's a thinker.

You don't get many of those around here.

He'll be good company for you.

I see you in him.

I'm no thinker. No, he's only a rare combination of thinker and awk.

Are you ready to show everyone what you can do with a milk jug? Don't get your

hopes up.

I'm not exactly the man I used to be.

The Alexander that I used to know.

Could lift two of these jugs with one hand. We'd be satisfied with just one.

Let's see.

Show them.

It's moving.

It's moving.

It's off the ground.

No, no, not itself. No, no.

I knew he couldn't do it. He did not do it. He's tired.

Let's see what he can do when he's rested.

All right, everybody, listen up. Tomorrow we're going to have a great

celebration, a lot of food, my finest wine. Spread the word.

Let's get you to your room.

Good night, all. Good night. I have enough for the both of

us.

Life's been good to me.

And it was you who made it possible.

I made it possible.

I wouldn't have escaped if it wasn't for you.

Eat, drink, hunt, fish, work if you want to, or don't. In the

wintertime, there's always wood to be cut.

I mean, after all, this place isn't as much yours as it is mine.

I had no reason to believe that you were even alive.

I've been writing you for ten years.

See? I was just writing another this morning.

I couldn't visit you and risk getting caught, right?

Every single time a traveler would come through, I'd give them a letter.

And the last traveler who came through had the idea of taking two letters.

It must have been one of those that got through to you.

I mean, those that reported to me said that you were either dead or they

couldn't find you or that they did give you a letter through a friend.

I have no friends.

Everyone has turned against me.

Well, that's over now.

I'm preparing a tweet for you in case you don't like this room.

You know the law?

An eye for an eye. She is a murderer.

Don't do this! Order has emerged from the remnants of devastation.

And to remain a society, we must follow the law.

Not one of you... thought you would survive the war yet here we are and here

must continue to remain human yes we have to be and do the

inhumane judges right executioner

sir do your duty

now it must be done you don't have to do

Don't do it.

No. No.

No.

had to be done.

Our first time was rough, too.

I'd say it was rougher on the pregnant woman you just butchered.

You're not fit for this job. He did the job.

I thought you called doing the job. What happened to one head, Alex?

Good morning.

Oh, good morning.

I'm sorry, did the sound wake you? No.

Coffee?

Please, join me.

I've just never seen anybody sit on a wood pile so properly before.

Something wrong?

I just haven't laughed in ten years.

I've almost forgotten what it sounded like.

You're not serious.

It's been ten years since I've been alone with a woman as well.

How is that possible?

Certain things happen. What things?

Things better not have forgotten.

Edwin, too, has memories he won't discuss.

He hasn't told you of his troubles?

Only in a general way.

About being arrested and you arranging his escape.

But he hasn't told you about it, how he escaped exactly?

No.

He started to once, but just went quiet.

Like you, he wouldn't talk about it.

Like me.

At least Edwin has found some peace.

I've just tried to help him forget.

Maybe I could help you forget too.

What I mean is...

I know what you meant.

Coffee is a woodpile.

Why not?

Well, you seem more rested, less tense.

I'll get another cup.

Oh, no, it's okay. I already had some. Thank you.

Doing some hunting.

Well, I thought I might if you would join me. I should get those sandwiches.

No, we'll catch our lunch. Thank you very much. I've already made them. Don't

bother.

Feeling lucky.

Yes, I've been the luckiest man in the world every day for the last ten years.

Not with the hunting gods.

Unfortunately, that part's true. I even offered to sacrifice the first kill, but

they seem completely disinterested. Must not be hungry.

Gods don't get hungry. They only sacrifice to feed their egos.

What about ghosts?

Ghosts get hungry.

I say no.

If they get hungry, they feel pain. If they feel pain, they can get hurt.

They can get hurt.

then they would possibly bleed.

I say no.

Well, if I come across one, I'll let you know.

That would be very hospitable.

I'm going to leave you two brothers to your hunting tales and ghost stories.

Some of us have work to do.

Where did you find her?

My luck started with the escape, actually.

I did what you told me to. I ran for days.

I didn't eat, I didn't sleep.

I ran.

And then I realized I was actually making my way back here.

Back home.

I didn't know if it was still standing, but it was.

There were people living there.

And one of them was my Kate.

We built the whole thing back together.

Your lunch.

In case you don't catch anything.

I told you we won't be needing that.

We have Alexander, the great hunter, right?

You may need arrows.

I'll be right back.

Please make sure he doesn't hurt himself.

I have an old rowboat.

It needs mending.

Think you could help me out?

It's hardly fishing weather.

No, I mean for the spring.

I reckon with you around, we'll catch enough fish to feed the entire village.

Are things alright between us?

Sure, what?

You always have this tortured look on your face.

I've been tortured for ten years.

It's hardly going to go away in one night.

Fair enough.

We had some good times in these woods and in these fields, didn't we?

Remember that little calf that we saved?

Little Baldy? Yeah.

Each of us had to hold up an end, keep him standing up until Dad got back from

the vet with the medicine.

Nothing felt better than when he gave him that medicine and he stood up with

great energy and ran back to his mother.

Yeah. You remember how we used to play catch?

Catch.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

It was just a nick.

Well, I might have to amputate here.

It was just a little blood.

Yeah, it's just a little blood.

To the future.

To Alexander.

To Alexander.

Well, I'm drinking. I am drinking.

That is drinking.

My brother's a gentleman.

You don't have to ridicule him because he's not an animal like you are. That's

not why he doesn't drink.

He doesn't drink because he's disgusted by what you did today.

I have to go.

Yeah, hurry along, teacher.

Leave the real men to drink.

Stay here.

I've got some trash. Oh, I would love if you try.

Son?

Son!

He just - You cooled down!

Jimmy's right. You don't approve of my new job, do you?

I mean, it has to be done.

It's not you.

The job, it's barbaric.

Which is why I need to do it.

To make it less barbaric.

I can really help your students get everything that they need. That's why

doing this?

My students don't need anything.

I wouldn't let them take your charity anyway.

to help my student.

And ask my forgiveness for taking it.

I

was

feeling sorry for you.

Little did I realize it was going to be the worst day of my life.

Did it pass your bedtime, teacher?

Just going home. Tell your brother that I'm looking for him.

Well, I don't think that that would be a very wise decision on your part.

Oh, and, uh... Your brother.

He's a real lady killer.

Well, at least his reasons for wanting to do it are honorable.

What's your reason for wanting to cut people's heads off?

Because I wanted to.

Hmm?

Plan for your escape.

The judge is going to have his men all over the place, so it won't be easy, but

it can be done.

Tomorrow, when you walk up onto the block, I'll be standing there.

And you, just hear me out.

When I raise the axe, before I swing it, I'm going to cue you.

You dive out of the way and grab my knife.

I want you to jump off the stage and run. Run as fast as you can.

I'll let you pass the guards.

I've bribed many.

Most of the people just get out of your way.

I want you to put as much daylight between you and this village as

Just run as far as you can, as fast as you can.

What will happen to you?

It doesn't matter.

Whatever it is, it'll be nothing compared to your punishment.

There was no way I was going to get past those guards.

And you, despite the consequences, came in and risked your own life.

But... That's all better forgotten, huh?

What's past is past.

What's past is not past.

Not for me.

The escape.

I can't...

Remember key elements to it. I need you to help me remember. Shadows, Alexander.

Why make ourselves miserable?

The escape didn't happen as planned, but it happened.

That's all that matters, right? No.

I don't want to talk about it.

We're alive.

We're alive.

Look.

You asked me to help you, and I helped you, Edmund.

Now I need you to help me.

I didn't stop to see what they did to you.

But I heard.

What I heard has been ringing in my head for ten years.

Look at what they did to you.

Branded a monster.

Banished.

All for saving the life of your brother.

What happened to your hand?

It's just a nick.

How did you do that?

Playing with knives.

Whose knife?

You too?

Seems so.

When did you do that?

Childish games.

You may have a bandage kit. Yes, in the cupboard.

So what's really going on?

What's upset him?

Memories.

It's over, Kate.

We got rid of it at the lake.

You got rid of it?

Yes.

Rid of what?

Doesn't matter.

It might.

Try.

Everything is going to be just fine.

like the good old days.

But they didn't like you back in the good old days.

Nobody liked you.

Ever.

It's good to have you back.

So how does it feel to be back in your childhood home?

Welcome.

Run for the woods!

Go! Run for the woods!

Bon appétit.

Bon appétit.

What really happened at the lake today?

Please.

Let me.

I'm sorry. I don't know. It came over me.

It was my fault.

I pushed you too hard. Nonsense.

It's the least I could do.

Kate's going to be worried about me.

Go back in and tell her I'll be in in a few minutes.

Sorry, Assasin's Day.

I don't know how that could be you doing.

Hey, it wouldn't happen any other way.

No, Alan.

No.

Thank you, brother.

Hold that traitor still.

Where is he?

I'll be in in a few minutes.

I want to see him. No, just give him...

Ten years ago, Edwin got into some trouble.

You made it possible for him to escape, didn't you?

In a sense, yes.

In a sense?

What sense?

The memories you stirred up at the lake.

Did you stir them up because you love him?

You tricked Edwin into cutting his hand. Why?

You said anything about tricking. I did.

Did you?

Yes.

Why?

What did you hope to gain?

For ten years you didn't laugh.

You were never alone with a woman.

They wouldn't have me.

They hated me.

Because you helped Edwin escape.

Because you killed him.

What are you talking about?

How can that be?

I don't know.

I just know that I did it.

What you call your killing, you did it out of hate?

Love.

Love.

You believe you killed him out of love.

And you feel compelled to confess.

Confess?

What do I have to confess?

I'm proud of what I did.

And ashamed, too.

You're not going to understand, Kate.

Edwin was sure to die.

See, as the executioner, I... Stop it.

Why do this to yourself?

You've obviously suffered.

I can see that.

You're in pain.

It's this pain that's making you believe that Edwin is some kind of ghost.

I can tell you when he's afraid, when he's lying. I never said that Edwin was

lying.

If he's a ghost, he doesn't know it.

You're not convinced that?

Whatever happened at the lake, you held back your suspicion?

Yes.

Well, it's not too late then for you to accept the truth.

Alexander.

You couldn't have killed Edwin.

He's not a ghost.

He's a man in every sense.

Like you.

I've hardly ever lied to you, Edwin.

And never about important things.

What I feel for Alexander, I feel partly because he's your brother and

partly because he is what he is.

You love him.

But that doesn't change us.

Or how I feel about you.

You're my husband.

I love you, Edwin.

Too much to ever hurt you.

Alexander loves you too much.

Check. Offense is sometimes the best defense.

See, no fair. Get over here and help me.

One day I'll learn not to interfere.

There's no need to fight over her.

Well, make that another day.

Help me out now.

I told you she's the best. I am.

I was bragging.

So sorry to hear about the verdict.

I never thought Edwin could get into trouble.

How is he?

He's about to die.

escapes. It's very hard to escape our prison.

Yeah.

Tomorrow, when you're leading him to the block. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Alex.

Now, we've known doing Edwin our entire lives, and trust me, I am sympathetic to

your situation, but if he tried to escape, it is our duty to stop him. One

be careless.

The judge would have our head nothing so severe, especially with the public.

It would be for Edwin.

You can't be blamed for another man's good luck. If you're saying what I think

you're saying, I'm just thinking out loud.

That's all. Yeah.

But that's all it better be.

If my man gets lucky, others benefit greatly. No one will get lucky tomorrow.

Douglas, my boy.

Congratulations.

What's going on here?

This one's not for you.

What are you talking about?

I earned this job fair and square.

I am the executioner. We know that, but this is your brother.

So let me have it, all right?

Alexander, just don't take it, man. Look, I'm not letting anyone else do

You sound crazy.

You're an animal, man. You're prepared to find out?

Douglas, Douglas!

Give it to him.

He is the executioner.

I'm glad I'm not your brother.

Yeah, don't lose it for anything, bro.

Alex, don't go through with it.

What choice do I have?

Let someone else do it.

I can't.

Crazy sense of duty?

Duty?

You don't understand.

I'm the only one that can give him hope until the end.

He's your brother. I know!

Alex!

He's your brother.

I'm leaving.

Alexander, you are home.

Don't leave today.

Just stay another couple of days, please. No.

No.

Don't go, Alexander.

Stay here, where you're loved.

If I stay here, I'll lose my mind looking for the truth.

And what is the truth?

If Edwin is a ghost, then I am the madman.

If Edwin isn't a ghost, then I'm still the madman.

Go to another town, then.

Not Three Points.

Three Points, there are no secrets.

Do you love me?

Yes.

Do you love Kate?

Yes. Then stay.

No.

Then at least let me go part way with you.

Food for your journey.

It's a little further up over that ridge

I

should

probably go on from here alone

Look at all this freedom.

This beauty.

I have a beautiful life because you helped me escape.

It's not too late to change your mind. Stay here and let us help you escape.

Our memories from that day are very different.

Alex, he's your brother.

It's a great day for it.

It was an accident.

It was his self -defense.

Yeah, you're going to get burned, sir.

There was never any plan for your escape.

It was just a story to make death easier for you.

To give you hope until the end.

Then at the last minute... I killed you.

Bye.

I love you.
