All language subtitles for Crying Blue Sky xx

It was magic.

Magic.

And how will I be telling that to
someone?

If they don't believe in magic, they'll
think it all an exaggeration.

But it must be true.

It's what we saw.

We almost died in the second woods.

Evil itself was in that forest.

Not without some kind things do you
know?

It was magic.

He thinks he's Jesus Christ.

And that other one, she's possessed.

One of each.

And now we've got that Irish rabble
thinking he's some kind of prince.

You know what your duty is, Andrew.

They're coming.

I tell you, they're coming.

Indeed. And who is it who will be
coming, Calvin?

Andrew, Rachel and a whole nasty bunch.

What have we done?

What's the damn thing?

I know, Eloise, but they're coming.

Well, it's none of their bloody
business.

Fanny. Fanny, get up.

I'm up.

It's all right.

It's all right, Elias.

Get dressed now. Get dressed, Leah.

Oh, no.

No, not this. No, no.

Now, Leah.

Help me, Captain.

Help me. Help me.

Robert, Captain, hold her.

Mama, what are they going to do?

Let her be.

Let her be like that. I don't know what
they'll do, Will.

Neither do I.

Give me that rope.

I knew it was coming.

Mama and the new preacher.

Making longing eyes, then meeting in the
dark places.

But when we moved in with him and
strange Leah, it was more than the town

bear.

What with Mama still being married to my
father.

He'd been trapping for nearly a year.

I kept hoping he would show.

Save it all.

Seal the house and burn it!

They yelled at us, hoped to destroy
their things.

But that was only the start.

They're going to hang him. Margaret, you
don't understand. Stay out of it,

Jewel. It's a mistake. Don't get mixed
up in his troubles.

Jewel! What about the others, Jewel?

We have to live here.

What about Marion?

Jewel!

Mama, Jewel, Pa, always arguing about
Mr.

Will, gave me big worries.

That morning, even Mr.

Calvin had a gun.

Don't talk about me, Eloise. You know
what you've done.

And you will smite. You're guilty of
polygamy and adultery.

And that one.

A child of the Lord.

God's special gift.

Speak of the tongues of the Hebrews.

She's been raped.

He's a woman of the devil. And you,
you're his lusty brother.

They say he was blessed.

I never saw anyone so lucky as him.

His guardian angel was always there, no
matter what sort of rude business he got

himself into.

No one even looked that surprised when
the rope broke, like they knew it was

impossible to defeat him.

They just stared at him, waiting to see
what he would do.

My friends, I'd be lying if I said you
weren't good people.

And I... I knew that the moment I
stepped off the ferry.

For everyone helping with Leah.

And Rachel.

You brought us all our meals that first
week.

Dalton's Ferry is a good town.

I even thought it might be the promised
land.

The sad truth is that all, all you good
people won't be coming with me.

With us.

With us to a real promised land.

I wish you could come with me.

With us.

And I'm sorry, so sorry that we are
forced to appropriate a take.

Your generous town's providings. But the
Lord giveth and he taketh away.

I'm sure you've heard it said before
because it's true.

The deity moves in mysterious ways.

And a man does as he is forced to do.

Are you going to roar with it or shoot
with it? I reckon it's a problem of the

heart. No, it's not a problem of the
heart. It's a problem of you and the

prince.

Mama and the others took anything in
town they wanted.

People's seed, powder, flour,
everything, and loaded it on the ferry

boat. We stole that, too.

Mr. Will said we would start our own
settlement, a place where English and

would live as equals, the promised land.

He said if we just floated down the
river, it would find us.

Mama said it was true.

And Mr. Calvin and Mr. Jewel believed
him.

I guess because Mr. Will was nice to
him.

Past not the compliments and such as
that.

Mr. Calvin brought Sister.

That was his wife's name.

And Meg, that was their granddaughter.

Sister just came because Calvin did.

Kathleen came with Jewel's wife,
Margaret.

Mama, try to keep...

Me and her, off and away, but we were
all so pumped up together.

If we had to leave home, our Julipa
would be hanging in the trees.

And Julipa didn't fancy that.

My father, would he come after me?

Aye, he would.

Or was he even yet alive?

No one knew where we were.

I knew it. They've gone into New France.
Andrew, what about the Shawnee? Let's

go. We'll never catch up.

Let's let the Indians get them.

Solid as a rock, rich and out.

Spreading the gospel.

Spreading the bunny laws of Moses.

Thou shalt not.

Nor the gods. Forget those graven
images.

The crazier that a rat in a brandy cake.

God, if not the Lord in vain.

Sit on the Sabbath.

Honor the mamas and the poppies.

No killing.

Stop that screaming.

If you knew what happened to her.

What? It's a miracle she can even
mumble.

What happened to her?

Well, when she was just a wee thing,
they came to her house.

Sound familiar?

And brought her mother out into the
street.

Burned her.

And little Leo watched it all.

How did you know all this?

I saved her.

I tried to save the mother, too, but...

It was too late.

I still say she's balmy.

My neighbor's ox. My neighbor's flocks.
My neighbor's rock. His chicken pox.

Watch

the cliffs.

The what?

The cliffs.

I have been a stranger in a strange
land.

Smythe will get his without Andrew's
help. I know that much.

So, what are you going to do, Marion?

Eat the squirrel.

But then what are you going to do?

Go to sleep.

Guess you'll be going after Eloise and
your daughter.

Sister, old Europe was once saved from
the infidel Moors by such a man as

Brother Kelton.

We're talking about a man who was
willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

for those he loved.

I'm proud to say I knew him.

In heaven, we'll meet again, my friend.

In heaven, we'll meet again.

You already think it'll fool them? Of
course it will.

History, Eloise.

Now take your lessons from history.

You could hear us for miles, flipping
and plashing along.

And Sister Bellerin.

Mama finally put cloth in her mouth to
shut her off.

Mr. Will was still singing the sweet
tune.

But he was a poor tool for to be guiding
us through the woods.

Stop your mischief.

I'm delicate.

Oh. Is that how

your husband did it?

Now I don't ask about Lear, do I, you
pokey blood of snake?

and engrossed in us.

But you see, gumbly overstone, with
leaves, a green,

a wash, a glow, with hints of hints of

indigo. What's an indigo?

It's a colour, like blue.

Well, why then was it blue?

It binds horribly, my dear.

There were brambly branches, prickly
sticks, growing

like briar, but even much thicker.

Little green growths that grew from the
ground, entwined with

vines, hanging overhead down.

Why? Because every plant had a spirit in
it.

He was always telling stories.

Peculiar stories.

Come on, damn you!

You heard those guns?

know who it was?

I saw Indians.

Where?

Where are they? She didn't see anything.

I see them too.

They're here.

Where? Who's here?

There. Get your children. Come on. Hurry
up. Right around the corner.

Come on.

Run. Run.

How

many

of them, Bippy?

I don't know.

Oh, Lord, there's more over there.

It's a bad bit for us.

Bye. Yes, sir.

Just quit your yank and I'm out. And
make sure you don't miss.

That's it.

That's it.

Hahahaha.

time, eh?

Are you all right now?

Yes, I'm all right. I'm all right now.
What were you laughing about? What kind

of funny joking was you passing around
out there? There's nothing to wag on

about.

Come on, Murray. What were you saying to
him?

Well, I asked him how his wife was.

Hey, but what was it to make him laugh,
eh?

He asked me how my wife was.

So I told him.

No, sister.

It's Dalton.

Hmm.

Dalton?

Dalton?

Dalton?

Why was they coming out into the open
like that, Doc?

They knew me. Friends of mine.

Friends?

Marianne! No, please!

I don't rely on friendship when my
daughter's life's at stake.

Where's your daughter?

no longer your wife.

I'm not here to help.

Nobody's asking for your help.

I'm here because you're not going to
decide when my daughter's going to die.

She'll be staying with me.

The Shawnee will be back.

Of that you can be certain.

There was rude surgery, Eloise, shooting
that Indian.

I reckon he's got some friends whose
pleasure it'll be to find you.

And they will.

I'm taking Fanny to a safe place out of
their way. We'll be going, too.

If there's any among you, any of you
that want to make a fuss about it, then

come on.

Let's settle it.

Where did you get this big nose?

That's for you, Kathleen.

Look, surely you can be brave.

It's good luck, honey.

Some sort of taboo.

The feathers are a clear sign.

Keep away.

If you don't, the trail will disappear
behind you.

Indians are pernickety.

They won't follow us into this valley.

If the Indians won't be going there,
then maybe we shouldn't be either.

There's not like to be anyone down
there.

Up here, we got Shawnee.

This is their land.

We're intruders.

What about Mama?

I want to make sure you're safe.

But what about Mama and the others?

We'll just be worrying about you for
now.

But we can't just leave them there.

Honey, honey, stay close to jewel Leave
the cow here.

Get Fanny into that Valley as fast as
you can

He

cared about the others just didn't want
to say so

He knew they'd follow us anyway, so why
stay around and be vexed with their

chaff?

Now they were doing exactly what he told
them to do.

They wanted to stay alive.

Move along.

Right then.

Follow me.

Look!

Cabins!

As far as the writing, Margaret, because
it's French.

Trapper's camp?

Trapper's down clear for use.

The Indians?

Uh -huh.

Would they be following us?

Uh -huh.

Well, what sort of business would they
be up to, then?

They were laughing.

Here we are.

All day coming.

Thank you, O Lord, for delivering us
from the savage infidels.

And again, we pray.

Bow down thy ear, O Lord.

Hear me, for I am poor and weak.

It's like he has jewel under a spell.

Talk to him, Marion.

He'll listen to anyone who's few.

I didn't get him into this messy
business, Margaret.

You can get him out.

It's his fancy.

You can change it.

Aye, as surely as you can make my mules
say her prayers.

Rejoice, the soul of thy servant.

For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my
soul.

He knows so much.

He himself can read now.

I spent the first 25 years of my life
being no smarter than a plaguey cow.

I used to look at the stars at night and
I know I had feelings about them.

But now I know their names.

Tree. With feathers.

The path disappears before you.

It's a devil tree.

Some Indians believe that the devil
isn't a dark angel who lives someplace

like down below.

They look on it as a natural thing.

As natural as a brook.

Or a tree.

Their devil is born of earth.

A part of nature thriving on the evil
half of life.

Everything that's good has an evil side
to it.

To live and breed, the mantis has to
kill the fly.

The hawk has to kill the sparrow.

I killed that rabbit.

And I'm going to eat it.

I'm happy.

But the rabbit's dead.

Some believe that every time innocent
blood is spilled, it sinks into

the earth and joins in particular spots
with the blood of other victims who died

before it.

Until, finally, the souls of the
slaughtered creatures gather together.

Into a breathing spirit.

A devil.

That captures the living.

And commands their shadows.

And it's not just the Indians, you know.

A lot of people believe that sort of
thing.

People carry on about... Ghosts.

Banishing.

Leprechaun.

That tree says that this valley is

where the lost blood gathers.

It's the home of the devil.

If you believe.

What is this?

What is it? What is it? What is it? What
is it? What is it?

And no Indians, Marion.

Will Smythe wasn't concerned about the
visitors.

He'd read about this sort of thing in
his books.

He told us it was a coup attack.

The Indians didn't want to hurt us, only
to touch us. And what he said they

really wanted was to communicate.

Now it was our turn.

He and Mr. Jewell took some of Sister
and Calvin's clothes and hung them in

woods as an offering of peace.

Yes, yes, it's true. They're savage.

But they're also a noble people.

And with a little help, they could
become Christians.

But how can the Indians learn if there's
no one to teach?

Now, as long as we're trapped here
anyway... If they're Indians, they're

certainly different than any I've ever
seen.

Harmless.

Better to be touched than shot.

Maybe I misread the tree.

This valley shouldn't be lived in, but
it is.

And by some very strange ones at that.

And these cabins here.

It's a melancholy fancy that they left
it all. Yes, well, I'll handle the

Indians.

The Shawnee won't come into this little
valley.

That means they're afraid of the ones
who are down here.

There's got to be a reason.

Margaret! They know Margaret's down
here.

He's trying to fill your head with
hatred.

Evil minds are the most suspicious.

Now his is the way of violence.

I have a better way.

The way of giving.

The Shawnee are still up there.

They want to make sure nobody comes out.

When they leave, we leave.

We can't leave Mama.

You don't have a choice.

queerness of it, Fanny.

He's got such a hold on him.

Why?

Talk to her, da.

Talk to her sweet.

You betrayed us, Lord.

You betrayed us.

You betrayed us.

You betrayed us.

Last time out, I decided that when I got
back, I'd perhaps be calling in my

traps for a different way of doing
things. Maria, don't be telling me this.

Not now.

Eloise, how can you be casting about
with a man like that?

I think I haven't put thoughts on it.

You.

You were all rocky and rough and
unpromising.

I was your anchor, stuck on the bottom
not to be going nowhere while you

around on the surface.

Well, for him, I'm on top.

I'm the sail.

Just a cheery warning, Eloise.

You stay here with your English sly
foot.

Then your whole kith and kin is going to
be on the underside of the earth.

But it's a present. We found it hiding
in the reef. It's a present.

Yes, children, it is a present.

Why, it's a gift from the Indians.

They have given up this precious girl to
the Lord's kingdom.

For we must baptize her at once.

What do you think, Leah?

Come, Peter.

Peter.

And Peter said, repent and be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ.

little lost lamb.

I baptize thee with the Christian name
of

New Hope.

What was she up to?

It was all too perfect, like it was
planned.

I don't know if she was ever blind.

Just hokey pokeying to get aid and
sympathy.

Maybe she wanted a change.

Changed a lot of things.

It's a sign from God.

Oh, it's a glorious day.

These waters are blessed.

And what's most important of all, this
valley is holy.

We have found the promised land.

In French, we are two men and five
women,

here to the east of the king's wide
river,

where God knows

we have buried those whose

heads are covered with blood, the same.

Ave Maria, save us from evil.

The devil lives in the trees.

They who risk the departed souls

of Renee and Maria are

to know the risk is just names.

It happened right here.

In these cabins, the people must have...
It might have happened here.

It doesn't concern us.

Aye, but it's... It doesn't concern us.
We don't know where it happened or if it

happened.

Are we having any problems now?

So what if someone... someone died here?

I mean, we... we had a miracle here.

Our garden is our bathroom, our
livelihood.

So, lots of great care.

Think.

Think fertility.

And caress each seed.

Love it.

Remember, every seed has a spirit in it.

It's just that we're all in here.

I'm back, Santa!

Come and do the business, the good that
he has.

Oh, that's it. That's it.

That's it.

All

power

is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

All power is given unto him in heaven
and on earth.

Go ye therefore and teach all nations.

baptizing them in the name of the Father

This town of yours, it's a ridiculous
new thing.

Sure, things aren't as good as they
could be now.

But we just got here.

This is my opportunity, Marion.

It's my big chance.

If I pass it up, I'm not likely to get
another.

Chances are, your wife and daughter will
end up dead.

There'll be houses from hilltop to
hilltop. We've already started planning

it. I'm going to be constable.

I ain't a Lindsay Woolsey pig runner no
more, Marion.

I'm Mr. Jewel Buchanan.

That's it, Fanny.

We'll go at dawn.

Fanny?

Where is she?

What?

Fanny, damn it.

She was with you.

Where is she? We don't have her, Dalton.

That's the truth.

What is she doing in the woods? I don't
know.

What did the Indians, what are they? I
already told you.

And they just disappeared.

That's right.

They just disappeared.

They vanished.

Fanny was just laying there a long, long
time.

And Mr. Dalton was trying to ponder it
through.

Leah was acting stranger and stranger,
and she was trying to figure things,

And I think she was getting a lot
further along with it than Mr. Dalton.

What's gotten into you?

You used to be God's angel.

Do you forget that you'd have burned if
it wasn't for me?

Leah was a magic lady.

She said that there were people trapped
in the woods.

She said she was going to... She was
going to be queen of the

forest.

She smelled like bushes, but she was
good to us.

Leah was our friend, and I loved her.

Will started calling the strangers the
harpies after they stole his box of

books.

That's when he and Jewelpa built the
stockade.

He said stealing his books was
inexcusable.

The castle gave milk.

Jewelpa said she was long since
freshened.

Mr. Will said this was God's proof.

He didn't know nothing.

The cow was a friend of Leah's.

Fanny stayed asleep.

The cabin began to smell like something
old and wet.

And I knew that Fanny was slipping away
from us.

Have you forgotten about the rest of us?

Jewel and I built the walls alone

The

cabin

began to shake all the time like
something was trying to get to Fanny.

wouldn't let it in, and I think Mr.
Dalton knew that.

She was a fairy.

Leah was an Irish fairy.

She could make the flowers laugh.

I'd seen her do it.

Laugh out loud.

And that's why she told Mr.

Dalton that the secret...

We're sleeping in the trees.

I heard a kind of racket outside.

Your home was covered with some kind
of...

And then I saw Leah.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

And then... I saw you.

Medjid?

That would be simple, wouldn't it?

She was sick. Now she's well. Let's not
create phantoms.

How do they get in? God damn good
question!

You people just let them walk right in?

The bloody cretins!

The best minds of Europe!

God damn!

God damn! God damn it!

Mama, Meg's gone again. She'll be going
with the harpies into a tree.

No, she didn't.

Uh -uh.

The witch has got Meg and she'll be
wanting me, too.

She's got my name written in her belly.

Hush.

But little Meg is gone now, Marion.

You can't be leaving now.

After this,

You're on your own

She's right here, sister.

Don't let her near me.

Sister, be careful of what you're
saying. Keep her away from me.

Make sense. The Indians must have found
her.

Yes, they knew we'd be coming here.

But this is a great sign.

No, it's not.

Lydia! Lydia, kill her!

You saw this!

She's blind again. No, she's not!

Meg, what happened?

I dreamed I died in a thicket wood, but
the sky blew me heartbreak.

I don't know if she could see or not.

Did it matter?

No one knew anymore what they'd seen and
what they hadn't.

What good were eyes?

She's your granddaughter.

Sisters!

Be quiet!

Damn it, quiet!

Will! I directly intervened with God!

I restored of sight!

Sister gave Smythe his miracle.

She had the power to take it back. Damn
monkey!

Maybe she knew that.

What is this?

Who'd be putting that dress on her?

I did.

You mean you went into my house,
rummaged through my things, and stole my

daughter's dress?

Don't you have any regard for a young
child's feelings? I don't want her

Kathleen's dresses!

You stay out of my life! You're a witch!

And you're the devil!

What? You're her! She is the hell!

Made me go in the woods.

Kathleen, hush.

She did, Mama. She did.

Me, then Meg, now Kathleen.

And no one would listen.

Da told Mama what he'd seen, that
tempers were heating and a -steaming,

words got lost in a shout.

Thank God we were leaving.

I heard you from outside talking about
me. Be quiet.

No.

You're one of them. You're the one.

No. No, no, no.

The eagle's not out there.

It's in here.

I gave you.

But what's to determine us to settle
here? Well, you're getting close to

sacrilege.

But if you yourself had heard him
talking... Dalton's trying to destroy

That's what they all want.

You've got to be careful.

Don't let down your guard again. You're
a Christian soldier.

There's devils here.

And someone didn't tell me.

And I know why.

They're everywhere.

I want you to start building. Take your
own.

But planks.

Start right away.

Don't stop for anything.

I don't want my body eaten by animals.

Don't tell anybody about this.

But I'm afraid... I'm afraid God has
left us.

Don't build for everyone!

Some people don't deserve...

Don't you share your wife?

You don't trust me.

You're going to tell the others.

Yes, but you don't know why.

Why God has left us. Do you, huh?

Do you?

Do you?

Well, it's Leah!

Now, you know about devils, don't you?
Well, you see, when we were burning

Leah's mother, I had to keep lighting
the fire because it

kept... Going out.

She was a Catholic.

A South Irish pagan.

And she was laughing at me.

So I took her daughter.

And I thought, now, now I have something
and you have nothing.

And I'm going to have women.

But Leah's a witch!

All this time.

She led us here.

And now we're all going to die.

So.

So.

Now, if you're weak, no one can

help you.

As quickly as it started, it stopped.

And that's when Smythe found another
miracle.

A real one.

The goat had a baby kid.

Which I can't explain, because there
weren't no billy.

Jewel, we're safe.

Look what God has done.

We won't be needing those coffins after
all.

That's killing me in there.

I need light.

Mighty Lord Baal, hear your children in
this moment of peril.

Allow us to continue on the path.

Smite thine enemies and ours.

Oh, Lord, don't we pray in this hour of
darkness now.

Harriet! Muffet.

Mama wanted to come, but she felt
responsible for Mr.

Jewel.

She couldn't desert him now, and he
couldn't go nowhere.

Since Sister was gone, we took Meg with
us, but Kathleen had to stay with her

folk.

Doc promised he'd return for the others
after he'd gotten us safely across the

mountains.

What was it back there, Doc?

Cold eyes of the hot fire.

What?

Cold eyes of the hot fire.

The eyes of animals.

Around the campfire.

At night.

That tree.

I was here.

Thank you.

He was gone.

There was no place else I could go.

It started getting hot after he died, as
if his death had angered the sun.

The stream dried up and the ground
crackled beneath your feet.

We sat there and waited for Mr. Jewel to
get better or die.

Mama wept for Da.

She blamed herself.

And Smythe.

She told him he must not have had got in
his pocket after all.

That set him to brooding in a vapor and
sadly.

My child, you'll be all right.

Austin!

She'd be knowing that.

How do you know that, Simone?

I wish I knew what was going to happen
to me.

Dad said it was like... It was like...

Cold eyes at a hot fire.

The eyes of animals.

around the campfire in the night.

Animals might know what a fire was, but
they wouldn't know how it was made.

And a smart creature would be satisfied
knowing that if he got

close, he got warm.

And if he got too close, he got burnt.

But some can't leave the fire alone.

I get to thinking they're bigger than it
is.

And before long they're dancing in the
middle of it.

Till there's nothing left but those cold
eyes melting in the hot flame.

It's not my fault

Crime

won't make the sky any bluer

leaving that would be ridiculous I know
you better than that

I've rid the valley of them once

we don't even know where Leah is

this is our home where we live I can do
it again

I have to I

Did it before?

Me?

No.

That would mean abandoning the dream.

Abandoning God.

Where would you go?

No. No, no. I'm afraid I... I can't let
you do it.

You might get hurt.

We can't run away from our problems.

I tried to tell you.

Don't hide from me, Liam.

I love you.

I know God.

Marion?

Where...

I led them here.

I led them right to me.

Those, they left me.

across on the Stygian Ferry.

Oh, Megan.

Marianne.

Marianne!

If you let her go, she's got you.

What?

She's waiting.

The children.

Snapper neck.

Give the power to me.

I don't know what happened after Mama
and Margaret put us in a coffin.

We could hear them shouting for a
moment, and then the current picked up,

after that we couldn't hear anything
except the sounds of the river.

I don't know how long we were in there.

We couldn't get out.

Couldn't tell if it was night or day.

Or maybe about a week before you found
us.

Look, so much to say, you don't really
know what happened.

Isn't it possible that...

What you say you saw is not really what
you saw.

I mean, surely you don't believe those
Indians to be witches.

Harpies. Well, all right, you don't. No!
We don't believe those harpies were

Indians.

You're the oldest.

It's a cold eye to the hot fire.

What? It means only the ones who were
willing to burn will ever

know what happened.

I know.

There was something bad and something
good.

The good one drowned the fire.
