[indistinct chattering]

There it is.

Thank you.

Great job today, James.

You can go on home now.

-Thank you, sir.
-Yeah.

Elaine.

Hello.
I came to check on the wagon.

Hey, I thought you were leaving.
I can take care of Ms. Elaine.

It's no trouble.

The axle has taken longer
to fix than we thought,

but it should be done
day after tomorrow.

Thank you.

Uh, I was just about to leave.

You're heading home?

When does Thomas get back?

Any day now.

I'm surprised the party is late.

I was expecting them sooner.

One doesn't know
what to expect on their mission.

I am certain he is well.

He's probably talking too much
and delaying everyone else.

My brother does love to talk.

Especially about the gospel.

It's no surprise
my parents grew tired of it.

How are your parents?

I received a letter
from my mother yesterday.

First one in months.

-Is she...
-She is well.

She was... polite.

It's more than I hoped for.

[Thomas]
Elaine!

-James!
-Thomas!

-Ah!
-Welcome back.

Ah, it's good to be home.

How was it?

Just the power
of Brother Johnson's voice,

or maybe his conviction,

but so many people stayed
to listen to us.

I expect we'll see some of them
joining us here soon.

That'd be wonderful.

But that wasn't
the most amazing part.

We came across an Indian.

Traveling by himself,

but he was from, uh...

I can't remember the tribe.

Was he dangerous?

Oh, no.
We camped together one evening.

He told me about his ancestors.

They have this legend

that his ancestors
came from the East.

They crossed the ocean
in eight turtle boats.

Turtle boats?

That's what they called them
because they were strong

and able to withstand the waves
and dangers of the ocean.

Eight boats?

-Eight. Just like--
-Wait, in Ether. The--

Jaredites.

Wow.

Could it really
be the same people?

To me they are.

It's good to have you back.

I bet.

Work at the blacksmith shop
getting too dull?

Thomas!

Oh!

I want to hear
all about your trip!

Yes, ma'am!

You and Elaine
should join us for supper.

-Hello, Elaine!
-Hello, Sister Delford.

Oh, and Thomas,
you better wash up first.

You too, James.

I think at times
she forgets she is my mother,

and not yours.

[James]
Brother Matthews was that ill?

But no one could dissuade him.

He got up
and went to that town to preach.

Halfway through his sermon,
he started looking mighty pale.

No.

The spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak.

[both chuckle]

James, on your feet.
Help clean up.

Your father always helped me
clean up after dinner,

and I expect you
to follow in that tradition.

I do, Mother.

Consistently.

I'm sorry for his passing.

Three years ago now.

But I suppose
time doesn't matter,

not when we have eternity
to look forward to.

Do you think he would
have liked it here?

[frantic screaming]

[banging at door]
Hold it!

I wouldn't!
Unless you want to get shot!

Out!
Now! All of ya!

[screaming and shouting]

[indistinct shouting]

[Elaine]
What do we do?

Elaine.
Let's go!

We can't let them
destroy everything!

We need to get to safety.

Can't watch this.
Come on, let's go, go!

[screaming and shouting]

No! Please!
Let go!

My husband's...
It was my husband's!

Where's the money, huh?

Now, show me
where the good stuff is,

or I'll shoot you dead.

Hurry!
Hurry!

Come on, let's go.

[screaming and shouting]

Mother!

Mother!

[James]
Mother!

[gunshot]

Ah!

No!

Mother? Mother?

What are you doing?

James, think for a moment.
Stop!

-They killed her!
-I know!

A woman!

A woman who was no threat.

It was wrong.
Everyone knows it.

I'm gonna do
something about it.

Someone's here to see you.

Brother Joseph.
Sister Smith.

James,
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Will you walk with me?

I am sorry about your mother.

She didn't deserve
to die like that.

No, she didn't.

Why did God let it happen?

We all make our own choices,

even the mob.

For better or for worse.

There will be justice.

Yes.

You were preparing
for something when I arrived.

You're going somewhere?

I am.

I'll find the man who did this.

And what will you do
when you find him?

Do you really think it's wise
for you to go after him alone?

Perhaps,
you should involve the law.

What for?
The law does nothing for us.

You know that better than most.

So you'll seek revenge.

Not revenge.
Justice.

James.

I've nothing to lose.

Yes you do.

Something of eternal worth.

Don't risk it.

How can I do nothing?

Trusting in God is not nothing.

His justice will be right.

I want it now.

That's not up to you.

What am I supposed to do then?

Heal.

Endure.

Try to turn that hate
into something better.

Is that what you do?

When everything is against you?

I remember that God's work
will not be in vain.

He needs good men

to teach all His children
about Jesus Christ.

Don't despair.

You're not alone.

You'll move into Far West
with us, won't you?

It's not safe anymore
to be outside the town.

It's never safe.

Things will get better.

It's just fear
that makes us a target.

People don't understand.

They don't believe
what we believe,

so they act out.

Think of our parents.

How much would be different
if they understood?

You're right.

James?

You said you talked to
an Indian about his ancestors?

Yes, but--

Do you know how to find him?

What are you talking about?

I know what to do.

All these attacks,
the mobs,

being driven
from town to town,

people don't understand,

just like you said.

I think you should chew that.

But if they believed,
everything would be different.

You cannot make
people believe.

I know,

but what if I could
show them something

that would prove
the Book of Mormon is true?

What are you thinking about?

The brother of Jared took
16 stones to the Lord to touch.

When the Lord touched them,
they glowed.

-James, I'm not sure--
-Think on it.

We could show the world
almost anything

and there'd be someone
to say it is not genuine.

But a glowing stone,

there's no other way
to explain how that's possible

without the Book of Mormon.

It's a good thought, but--

Thomas,

think what a difference this
would make for your parents.

Elaine, if you could
show them something

even they cannot deny,

prove that you didn't leave home
for some foolish belief.

How will you find them?

Almost ready?

I won't be gone long.

You don't know that.

I can do this.

But you shouldn't go alone.

And who else would come?

We will.

If you're afraid I'll get myself
into trouble, you needn't--

Oh, I know you will.

I wanna come anyway.

As do I.

Elaine, I don't know how safe
it's gonna be.

That's why I have two brave,
strong men to help me.

I need to come.

All right.

I'll gather our things.

Can we take a rest?

Thomas, hold it for a minute.

I thought we are in a hurry.

Let's rest the horses.

Thanks.

We should reach Kitchi's camp
by tomorrow.

Assuming he's still there.

Are you sure he's safe?

Elaine, you can't assume--

I was only asking.

Don't worry.
We'll be together.

He's a good man.

I can't wait for you
to meet him.

Let's go.

That was hardly a rest.

Where will we stay the night?

Wherever we are by nightfall.

Is it safe out here?

Of course it is.
Don't fret so much.

It doesn't hurt
to be cautious, Thomas.

[Thomas chuckles]
You sound just like Mother.

Take that back.

It's true.

Well, maybe that's not
such a terrible thing.

Well!
What have we here!

Stay behind me.
They're probably harmless.

Yes, they look it.

You three weren't thinking of
sneaking by without paying?

Paying?

We're just travelers.
Like you.

Oh, well,
if you're the honest sort,

then you weren't
trying to sneak by

without paying the toll.

There is no toll.

There is if we say there is.

[Thief]
Easy there, sonny.

Not often I see
such a pretty lady.

[Thief giggles]

Please, let us by.
We're on urgent business.

Urgent, huh?

Well, why didn't you say so?

Uh, look,
we're the understanding type.

Just pay the toll
and you can go on your way.

These roads are free to travel.

Well,
we make the rules around here.

So, who's to say otherwise?

Besides,

I think
you want to pay the toll.

Why is that?

Let's just say it's our way

to ensure these roads
remain safe.

You still think
I sound like Mother?

Yes. Only this time
you happen to be right.

We won't make it
to town tonight.

Just as well.

We cannot afford an inn
or a good meal,

especially now.

You mean now that we're poorer
by three horses and my rifle?

At least they didn't find
all our money.

We cannot risk ourselves
being out in the open.

Elaine, we can't help
being out in the open.

But don't worry.
Nothing will happen.

Nothing will happen again?

We should've fought back.

We wouldn't have stood a chance
against those men.

We were outmanned and out-armed.

I was willing to try.

Are you so willing
to risk harm to us?

To Elaine?

We best move on.

We've far to go
before the sun sets.

What horrible luck we have.

How are we suppose to
continue so far on foot?

You can't give up
before you've even started.

What if God doesn't want us
to find the stones?

Why would He not?

It'll help His people.

Man's ways are not God's ways.

Have you felt
such a change of heart

from when you decided
to come?

We cannot let this
discourage us.

Let's eat.

[gunshot]

No!

What?

I think
this is close to his camp.

Yeah! Yeah!

We came out of this forest
of skinny little trees

to a clearing.

This looks exactly the same
as where we were a mile ago.

Come on.
We're close.

I think...

This is it!

[James] This is the fourth
time you've said that today.

Over here.
Come on, our luck is changing!

Where is he?

He was headed west, you said?

Yes.

He's already moved on.

We should've seen him.

Unless he wasn't going west.

We can find him.
I'm certain of it.

-We need only--
-Oh!

[Elaine]
James!

Think you can hunt Indian?

Huh? No! No!

Wait! Wait, Kitchi, it's me!

It's me, Thomas. Remember?

-Preacher?
-Yes.

Yes.
That's my friend.

We mean you no harm.

Oh, no, no harm.
No harm.

I thought you were bad.

Come!
Come, sit!

Why here?

You told me
about your ancestors.

And we wanted to know more.

Why?

You want to join my tribe?

Have you thought
about joining ours?

You?

Oh!
James.

My name is James.

This is Elaine, my sister.

Kitchi.

It's good to meet you.

My ancestors?

You told Thomas about
your ancestors crossing the sea.

Yes.

In eight "turtle boats."

Yes.

What more
can you tell us about them?

I don't remember all.

My ancestors came from trouble.

Danger.

Had to cross ocean.

Find new land, safe land.

So these boats?

Built boats...

to cross big waters.

These turtle boats.

Can you tell us
more about them?

[Kitchi]
Boats were built very strong.

Waves could not even
destroy them.

My people came to new land.

Safer land.

Then traveled by foot.

Ancestors grew.

Many came all over land.

What about any stones?

-Stones?
-Lights.

Light or stone?

Both.

We're searching for something
that we think your ancestors

brought with them
across the ocean.

Stones?

Stones that gave off light.

We have a record that also talks
about these eight turtle boats.

The record says that
before they crossed the ocean,

their leader took 16 stones

and asked the Lord
to touch them

for providing light
in their boats.

[James] So the Lord
reached forth his hand

and touched each stone,
one by one,

and they glowed,

giving them light
for their journey.

I don't know this story.

You have this record?

Hmm... stone.

I would remember.

But many treasures lost.

Do you know
where your ancestors went?

There's record I saw.

When I was a small boy.

Tribal leaders had them.

Round, thin, metal...
bound together.

Stories of ancestors.

Do you know where?

Many years ago,

I went with grandfather
to cave.

But I do not go in.

Hands must be clean
to touch record.

If not, great evil come.

I'm willing to risk it.

This is sacred record
of my people.

I do not mean any disrespect.

But I have to find
what I'm looking for.

If I can do that,

I can prove that
Jesus's church exists again.

I can stop evil men
from hurting people

like they did my mother.

I hope you worthy.

This passed down to me.

Path ancestors took after ocean.

What do those mean?

Hidden cave there.

By altar.
East.

How far east?

Three days.

At river, south.

Find tree
that looks like throne.

Altar very close.

Hidden treasures there.

Keep them hidden.

Take only record.

Then put back when finished.

I promise.

Keep safe.

I will.

You can keep it.

Let's stay here the night.

Can we?

I want to go over the map
some more,

make sure
we're following the right path.

I think this is the river
Kitchi mentioned.

Do you think
he's ever been there?

Not inside.
He said so himself.

I wonder why not though.

He seems like a good man.

You think so?

You hardly said a word.

He scared me.

What do we do
if the stones are there?

I think Kitchi would know
of them if they were.

How so?
If he's never been inside?

If they are,
then what will we do?

What do you mean?

We promised we wouldn't take

any of the treasures
except the record.

We'll worry about that
if they are there.

We need to find the cave first.

[Elaine] How far do
we have to go today?

As far as we can.

Can you imagine Mother
walking this far?

[chuckles]
Never.

The only time I ever remember
mother walking far

at all was when Mrs. Robertson
had that latest fabric in,

and all the ladies in town
were talking about it.

Father had business
in the next town,

so he took the wagon,
and Mother was--

Was a terrible horsewoman.

That's right.

So she walks all the way.

I remember how she complained

of the pains
in her feet and legs.

For days.

I hope the fabric was worth it.

Howdy.

You all need a ride?

We wouldn't wanna be
an inconvenience.

It's no inconvenience,

if we're all headed
the same way.

Thank you,
but we'll be all right.

[clears throat]

Well.

Alright, then.

You all take care now.

[James]
You too.

Why did you not
accept the ride?

It's unusual for strangers

in these parts
to offer such help.

They could be dangerous.

Since when have you
shied away from danger?

And with the horses gone,

they could help
get us there faster.

Wait.

Thank you.

No trouble.

Hop in.

My name's Gordon.

This here is Billy.

-How do you do?
-I'm Thomas.

This is James
and my sister, Elaine.

Have a seat.

Hold on!

All right now.
Here we go.

What do you think
your mother would say

if she could see you now?

Something about me following
another crazy person

to some faraway place.

She should be proud
of how strong you are.

-Strong?
-Yes.

You said the other day
she was polite, in her letter?

After Thomas and I left,
she was so hurt.

And Father was so angry.

Ungrateful, he called us.

I suppose time heals the hurt.

Did they ever listen
about the Book of Mormon?

Not truly.

The rumors about Joseph and
the Church took over quickly.

That in part is why Thomas
thought we should leave home.

I'm sorry you had to do
such a hard thing.

But I'm glad you're here now.

Uh!

You all been traveling far?

No, unfortunately.

Our horses were stolen.

If not for that,
we'd be further.

Sorry to hear that.

All kinds in this world,
aren't there?

Sure are.

What takes you east?

Business.

Got to earn a living.

What do you do?

Trade.

Buying and selling goods.

Anything in particular?

Wheat.

We just sold the last of it
a couple of towns back.

Are you from the east?

Uh, no,

really more
wherever the road takes me.

B-but what about you all?

What takes you
where you're headed?

Oh! We're--

We're on our way to visit
some relatives of mine.

Is that so?

My mother recently passed.

I need to inform her family.

Sorry to hear about that.

-Billy.
-What?

The maps he keeps
looking at are in his bag.

Go over there and see
if you can get 'em.

I'm stuck!

Just get his bag.

He's on top of it.

Fine.

We'll try again later.

But the first chance we get,

we've gotta see
what's on that map.

Hey, Gordon.

Gordon!

What am I suppose to do?

Hush.

You'll wake 'em.

Shhh!
Shhh! Shhh!

Hurry, we have to go.

-Anything?
-No, we did not wake them.

Why did we have to leave?

I don't think
they're helping us by chance.

They're after the map
Kitchi gave us.

But we still have a long ways
to go, don't we?

The wagon helped our pace.

And now it's gonna help
Gordon and Billy still.

We need to hurry and get
more distance between us.

We travel south now?

Yes, to find that tree.

What did he call it?

A tree like a throne?

How far is that?

And will we be able
to recognize it?

We'll see as we go.

It could be any of these.

It must be here.

Just look carefully
so we don't miss it.

What's a tree
that looks like a throne

supposed to look like?

We should be able to sit on it.
Right?

I think so.

Like that tree?

Oh!

It's not very comfortable.

[Elaine chuckles]

But I like it.

Look, my kingdom!

Now, that looks like a throne.

Which means
we're close to the altar.

What's an altar look like?

Like a table.

Made of stone.

What did Kitchi say
about the altar again?

He said there was a cave
hidden near it.

A cave would be near rocks,
or a hillside, not in the open.

Like over there?

Precisely!

Spread out.

Look for anything
that could be an altar.

[James]
Are these too small?

How big of an altar would it be?

I don't know.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Are you seeing anything?

Not yet.

Elaine,
are you going to help?

I just have to get a pebble
out of my shoe.

[Thomas]
Any of these could be an altar.

[James] How'll we know
if it's from the others?

[Thomas] I don't know.
Just keep searching.

James!

Thomas!

I think I found something.

It's the same symbol
from Kitchi's map.

This is it.

So is the cave nearby?

This is odd.

[James]
What?

It seems that the water is going
into the rock here.

As if there is
some kind of opening.

Thomas, help me with this.

One, two, three.

This is it.

[coughing]

Pass me the lantern.

Amazing.

Wow. Look at all these.

Yeah, but let's be careful
with everything.

Let's start searching.

We need to find the record.

Kitchi said they were kept
on metal plates.

Look for something like that.

[Thomas]
Look for... plates.

Where would they keep?

I don't see them back here.

I don't see anything like
what Kitchi described.

Me neither.

What did he say
about being worthy?

He didn't feel worthy.

Something like that.

He said...
that a great evil would come

if you didn't have clean hands.

What? I listened.

Clean hands...

There's something here!

The brass plates!

Or even better,
The Book of Mormon!

Only that was gold.

[Billy]
Gold?

I like the sound of that!

Thank you for leading us here.

The next time you're talking
about something valuable,

do it quietly.

They must've been in the town.

You followed us all this way?

You didn't think that
we lost ya, did ya?

What can I say?

We have determination

and we're willing
to do the work.

Now, why don't the three of you
stand over there?

Look at all this loot!

Oh, I intend to.

This must be the prize.

What's this worth?

Nothing. Please.

Huh, sonny,

I ain't no fool.

We thought we lost you
a few times back there.

But you left a nice trail.

Mighty kind of you.

Oh!

These are nice!

[Billy]
Oh, save me some of those.

Of course,
it would've been much easier

if you led us here in the wagon.

All that walking.

We can't let them do this.

We have to be careful.

Hey! Shush up!

We promised Kitchi.

We have to keep this safe.

And you have an idea how?

Lucky for us
you found this place.

There's been kind of a famine,
finding a good loot.

Not really in trade, are you?

Sure I am.

This isn't yours.

Ain't yours either.

You don't know
if any of this is valuable.

I'll take my chances.

This...

It's gotta be worth something
to bring you out here.

Come on, let me have a look.

I know when something's worth
something.

You stay put.

What if I want something
you pass up?

Well, that just shows
how stupid you are.

Just so long's we split it.

What do you think
they'll do with us

when they're finished?

We're gonna have to come back.

There's too much to carry out.

Speak for yourself.

I'm gonna take it all.

The wagon's too far.

I'll go get it,
you watch them.

No!
You watch them.

Just kill them then.

Fine.

-No!
-Get back!

-Hey!
-Elaine!

-Say, goodbye.
-Please!

We can help you
carry everything.

Look how much there is.
Let us help you.

[Elaine]
Please!

All right.

What do we do?

Pray.

There's still more.

We'll come back.

We'll be all right.

Hurry up.

Carry something
before I decide you're useless.

Which way's the wagon?

It's that way, you idiot.

Faster.

Come on now, no stalling.

Elaine!

Get her up!

-Come on.
-Hey! Leave her alone.

-Billy!
-I'm coming!

We've to get 'em.

-Hold it.
-Billy, shoot 'em.

Ah!

Stop!
Don't move!

Well... what do you think

you're gonna do with that?

You're not man enough
to shoot me.

James. Elaine.
Let's go!

[Elaine] Do you think
they'll try to follow us?

I don't know.
They followed us this far.

There's no telling
what they'll do.

We left them alive.

-We should've killed 'em--
-What?

What would we be willing to do?

-Kitchi, the treasures.
-I know.

We promised him
we would keep them safe.

-I know!
-We cannot go back.

He'll understand.

We need to keep going.

-Get up!
-Huh? What?

They got away!

They left all the stuff.

Not all of it.

So?

Look at all this.

We'll take it.

But I want those plates.

-Who cares?
-How stupid are you?

What kind of person

takes the plates
and leaves all this?

The kind of person,

who knows the plates are worth
more than all of this.

Load the wagon.

Then we track them down.

[Thomas]
Any luck?

No.

Maybe we should find Kitchi.

He could read it.

He's probably moved on.

Finding him will take too long.

I don't think
the delay would hurt us,

especially if we can't find it
without him.

What good was finding these
if we can't read them?

It's all...

nonsense.

No, it's not.

Maybe this was a crazy notion.

Coming out here,
tracking something so ancient.

It probably
does not exist anymore.

Where's your faith?

Dwindling.

How can that be?

You wisely told us to pray.

Those men were
intending us harm.

So I prayed.

Didn't you?

We were protected.

We fought our way free.

God protected us.

We fought,
but God gave us strength.

Can't you see that?

Can't sleep?

Me neither.

Your brother was right.

He often is.

If I had half his faith.

You have more than that.

Thomas is so sure of the gospel.

I followed him
and left our parents,

because I believed him.

I do not know as he does,

I don't have his conviction.

I've wondered for months

if leaving our parents
was the right decision.

Where is my faith?

You're stronger than you
give yourself credit, Elaine.

I had the example
of my parents to follow.

And I'm still weak.

But you,

you had the courage

to leave behind the love
and safety you knew.

It was all Thomas.

I lean on him for everything.

To provide for us.

For protection.

For a testimony.

Father in Heaven.

How selfish I have been.

I've lived under the protection
of Thine hand.

But immediately
saw it as nothing.

I thank Thee,
for saving us this day.

I thank Thee,

for the knowledge of the gospel
Thou has blessed me with.

Please.

Bless those who yearn
to know the truth.

Guide me
as I seek for these stones,

that they might help
others see and have faith.

Bless my mother.

Let her know...

how much I miss her.

And how grateful I am,

for her and all she taught me.

[Thomas]
I'm ready for some decent food.

You're always thinking
about your stomach.

At home, I never had to worry
about keeping a meal warm.

It was always gone
when it hit the table.

That's a credit to your cooking.

[grunting]
Oh, no!

Do you hear that?

-What is it?
-Diary.

Where's your money?

-Is this everything you
got from the church? -Hey!

Leave him alone!

[gunshot]

Stand up!
Slowly.

Easy now.

James!

James, let them go.

Get out of here.
Now!

Hurry.
Let's get out of here.

Sir, can you hear us?

He's a priest.

The town is not far.

Can you walk?

Yes.

Oh!

Oh! I'm sorry.

I've asked for a meal
to be brought.

Do you have any water, please?

[coughing]

You're bleeding a bit still.

Thank you
for coming to my aid.

Why were those men
attacking you?

They do not agree with me.

But who attacks a priest?

Plenty, I assure you.

This is not my first brush
with those

who see my faith
in an ill light.

I thought
we were the only ones.

Only ones?

We're of a faith that has
plenty of persecutors.

There are always those

opposed to the light
of Jesus Christ.

Sadly, even in this country

founded for
freedom of religion.

You're an odd group.

Why is that?

You've risked yourselves to...
to help me.

No man should be persecuted
for what he believes.

Where were you traveling to?

I'm not certain.

A...

friend helped us find this.

It belonged to his ancestors.

But we can't read them.

Where are you hoping
this will lead you?

To something that will help

ease the persecution against us.

I spent some time last year

with an Indian tribe
in the northeast.

They had writings
similar to this.

Do you know how to read it?

As a follower of our Lord,
I can read Hebrew.

This is remarkably like Hebrew,

although there are
a lot of symbols

and not just letters.

Interesting.

What?

We've always assumed

the Indians know
nothing of Christ,

but their ancestors--

Do you know what this
means in Hebrew?

Jehovah.

Ocean...
or water.

Could be family of sorts.

Do you really think
he can read that?

I hope he can.

This is so sad.

What's sad?

The ancestors in this record,

their...
their people fought savagely.

Is there anything
specific about stones?

Stones?

Or the number 16 maybe?

Ah! Yes.

They came with rocks...

"light" rocks.

I thought it was an error
on my part.

They did?

As best I can tell
from these symbols.

It was a keepsake,

something special
passed to each son.

Sixteen sons of select families.

As the people traveled
throughout the land,

this land, they fought.

Many battles.

I don't know
what became of them.

Why not?

The rest only speaks
of a small part of the people.

We were given this map

that shows
where the people traveled.

Hmm.

Interesting.
So this is water,

hidden water,

or...

a veil, water veil,
or a window.

No, there wouldn't be
any windows.

It could be a passage
through the veil.

Passage through the veil?

Does that mean... death?

I don't know.

Are you all right?

-I'm sore.
-We should let you rest.

Wait, what happened
to this part of the people?

Some of them left

to escape the battles.

James.

Of course, but--

We can talk tomorrow.

Can you just point out
which symbol means

the light stone
you talked about?

This one.

Thank you.

Look here, in Ether:

"Now the number of
the sons and the daughters

"of the brother of Jared were
twenty and two souls;

"and the number of the sons
and the daughters of Jared

were twelve,
he having four sons."

Could be the 16 sons altogether,

like the priest said.

And the stones were
passed on to them.

Aren't you amazed?

Here, we have another record,
telling us about the Jaredites.

Incredible.

I don't see the symbol
for the stones again.

Maybe I do,

there are so many
symbols and letters,

it's hard to tell.

You know...

what he said about the people
fighting,

the Jaredites ended up
warring against each other.

But all were destroyed.

[Elaine] Unless some of the
people left before that.

Wait.

Look at this.

You found it?

What do these other
symbols mean?

[sighs]

I should not have taken the bed.

You needed the comfort.

Are you feeling any better?

Yes.
Thank you.

It makes you
look a bit fearsome.

It does.

Are you angry with God?

For letting them hurt you?

Are you?

I'm trying not to be.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

He suffered more than
any man or woman.

For me to suffer in His name

is to take up His cross.

As if you were easing
His burden?

I like to think
if I was with Him in Jerusalem,

I would've stood by Him.

When I suffer
at the hands of those

who do not believe in Him,

I think He stands by me.

I'm not angry with God.

Never.

I brought you some bread.

You are too kind.

I must thank each of you again.

You were an answer
to my prayers for help.

You were an answer to ours.

If you could,

can you tell me about
something I found?

Of course.

Interesting.

What?

These symbols here.

It's a serpent.

This is the serpent's head.

No, the eye.

That's why the jewel is there.

What's that
by the stone symbol?

That's the symbol for light.

The light stone again.

But where is it?

After this special rock,
are you?

I need to find it.

What does the eye of the snake
mean?

I don't know.

What?

On the map and this latch,

it's a very unusual symbol
for a serpent.

Think of how
you would draw a snake.

Would it be like this?

Perhaps, the reason it seems
so strange to me is,

that it's not a symbol.

It's a place.

I've been there.

Where?

It's in Ohio.

Um...

about two days
south of Columbus,

day's journey
north of Portsmouth.

Just west of the line
between those two towns.

You can ask as you come near.

The people know about it.

What do they call it?

The Serpent Mound.

Thank you.

You should see this.

"Beware of the Mormons."

Sentiment like this is exactly

what's fueling
the hatred against us.

I told you
they wouldn't be in here.

Yeah.

You go see what's down there.

I'll go check at the inn.

No need to be hunting for them,

when we have all the riches
we could want from that cave.

Shut... up.

You want your cut?

You do as I say.

All right.

Thank you!

Thank you!

He said it was not far.

Wait.

Because I'm hot,
I'm tired.

Can't remember the last time
we had a good meal.

What are you thinking of?

That newspaper.

People are saying about us.

What have we done
to make people hate us?

People will naturally fear
what they don't understand.

Perhaps it's more than that.

Far West is not in the heart
of a civilized area.

I've often wondered
what my father would think.

Many of our neighboring towns

are on the brink of wild
and unsettled lands.

Places where there are more
hard people than not.

Like the mobs.

We're so different from them,
in how we live.

It never excuses
what they have done,

but maybe there's a safer place
for us ahead.

Look!

[Elaine]
Amazing.

Come!

[James] The priest said it
was at the eye of the serpent,

did he not?

[Elaine]
Yes.

[James]
Then the far end must be it.

Now what?

The priest said
it was in the serpent's eye.

It is all earth.

Where would the eye be?

The jewel.

What?

The jewel is in the middle
of the symbol.

The jewel is in the middle
of the serpent's head.

Which is this round part
we're standing in.

But there's nothing
in the middle.

Nothing we can see.

Buried.

Now all we need to do
is find a shovel.

This is going to take us all day

or longer, depending on
how deep we need to dig.

We just have to be patient.

I've never heard you tell me
to be patient.

Thomas, keep digging.

What if we're digging
in the wrong spot?

No, remember the symbol?

It has to be here somewhere.

There must be a better way.

Working without complaining
might help.

I think I've earned the right
to complain.

You wanted to come along!

I had to!

Do you think I trusted you
to go by yourself?

Who knows
what you would've done?

What?
I would've been fine.

Would you have shot Gordon?

Or those men
attacking the priest?

If I had,
I would have been justified.

At what point does justification
become rationalization?

Could this be it?

Another rock.
We'll have to dig around it.

Here.

Thank you.

Thomas!

[James]
Can we lift it?

Listen, we have to dig it out.

Do we?
What's this hole here?

Perhaps...

Does this mean anything
to either of you?

Let me see.

We should look at the map.

These holes,
they seem deliberate.

Not like damaged from time.

Can I have that?

This is the cave.

See this other hole

covers this line here.

That's the Serpent Mound.

And the medallion
lines up with it too.

What about the other hole?

What could be here?

A lake maybe?

I don't know.

This is the Jehovah symbol
again.

And the "light symbol,"
the priest said so.

And the rock symbol.

Jehovah light rock.

We are on the right path.

But to get there,

we've to somehow
interpret these other symbols.

What is this?

Doesn't matter.

What do you suppose was inside?

Whatever it is... it's mine.

You mean ours, right?

Hmm!

[dreaming]
[people screaming]

[James screaming]
No!

[gunshot]

Bad dream?

Yes.

I keep seeing
what happened to my mother.

It...

When Thomas and I came
to join with the Saints,

it was your mother we met first.

She invited us to supper.

I... I don't remember that.

I didn't accept.

I was so shy and unsure of--

I never forgot her kindness.

Thank you.

It is nice to

remember something pleasant
for a change.

When my father died,
I... I feared for her.

But there is this family
who lived nearby: the Williams.

Brother Williams
had just lost his leg.

Mother was there daily,

helping with chores,

so, Sister Williams
could tend to him.

It helped her get through
the worse times.

She was so strong.

Just like you.

I hadn't thought of
how she would feel about

what I'm doing until now.

She'd understand.

She'd be so proud of you.

Good morning.

What are you doing?

Oh, reading the newspaper.

I stared at the map
and the medallion for too long.

I needed a rest.

Anything interesting in there?

Nothing I trust.

Take this for instance...

"Living Waters Healing Tonic.

A cure for all ailments."

From the spring of Living Water.

Wait.

Is this really the same symbol?

No, it's a coincidence.

Where is this tonic made?

How long?

This morning.

We can catch up.

Welcome! Can I interest you
in a cure for all your ailments?

Um... yes.

You're just in time.
I'm on my last few bottles.

Uh, we were hoping to see
the actual water spring itself.

Oh, there's no need.

Straight from the source,
this is.

But we've traveled far
to see the water springs.

What for?

I-it is a long story.

Probably to steal my tonic,
aren't ya?

No. Not at all.

You think you're the first?

Trying to come and put me
out of business?

Sir, we have no intention
of doing anything of the sort.

We just need to see the springs.

The answer's no.

This is my livelihood,
and I won't have it stolen.

-Please, believe us that--
-I've heard enough!

Now go!

We'll buy the remaining bottles.

James!

It's a good value.

This is an interesting design
on the bottle.

So?

Was it at the spring?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Our business is done.

Now go.

This is the spring
we're looking for.

Definitely.
Although I don't understand

why you had to waste
all our money.

What're we going to do
if he won't tell us where it is?

He just ran out of stock.

Which means he'll have to bottle
more of his precious tonic.

[James]
He sure is taking his time.

Hurry.

Do you want to tell that to him?

Let's go.

It's here. I know it is.

Where?

The spring, maybe?

James.

James.

Where is it?

[Thomas]
Come on, we could help.

[James] No, I'm already wet.
I could do this.

Where is it?

It's gotta be here.

-James, perhaps--
-No. Don't.

It's here.
I know it is.

It's gotta be here.
But where?

There's no Jehovah symbols
near the spring.

That does not mean anything.

It was everywhere else.

Was I a fool to try
to find them?

-No.
-Never.

We're all tired.

Perhaps we should take a rest

and then we'll think
more clearly.

[Billy]
Look at 'em!

They didn't find nothin'.

Shush.

You brought me all this way

for no more than we had back
at that cave?

Shut... up.

Elaine,

what did the priest say
about water?

This is water,
a water veil or a window.

A veil of water.

It's the waterfall!

[Elaine]
Could it really be?

The window!

The symbol!

I think there's...

There's something's here.

[Thomas]
I think you found it.

[Elaine]
James...

We found it!

[James]
Here, let's see it!

You did it!
You found it!

What did you find?

It better be somethin' good.

Bring that on out here.

Stay in front of me.

Please, don't hurt us.

Give it here.

Real easy now.

Come on, hand it over.

[James]
Run!

Leave it! I got it!

[Billy]
What is it?

It's empty.
Get 'em.

Come back here!

[Gordon]
Here they are!

Elaine, hurry!

Thomas! Take Elaine and go.

This way.

Where'd he go?

This way.

Hurry up!
We can't lose him!

Thomas!

-Wait! Wait!
-What?

We can't leave him.

He'd want you to be safe.

But he'll need help.

We can't let any harm
come to him.

[Billy]
Where is he?

[Gordon]
Keep looking.

He couldn't have gone far.

Aah!

Hold it!
I'd stop if I were you.

Oh, that hurt.

Hand it over.

It's too small to be worth
anything.

We'll go with what I think.

What is that?

This... is how we never
lift a finger again.

It-it might not be worth
any money.

I know a find when I see it.

But it's... it's not special

because of how much money
it might be worth.

The finger of the Lord
touched that!

Please, it's...
it's sacred.

Trust me.

It's real sacred to me too.

And I don't care who touched it,

as long as it's in my hands now.

Our hands.

Don't you mean 'our' hands?

'Cause you ain't forgettin'
about me, are ya?

-Shut up.
-I won't.

Billy, we are partners.

Let's get rid of him,
so we can figure this thing out.

What's to figure out?

You're gonna double-cross me?

Stop babbling.

I heard what you done to others.

Get what you want
and then shoot 'em dead.

You heard wrong.

You think
'cause I don't talk fancy as you

that you're smarter?

I know I am.

Oh, yeah?

You could be dumb as a post,

try to ruin all we've done
to get here.

Or, you could follow the plan.

I don't trust you.

[gunshot]

I don't care.

Aah!

You just had to make things
difficult.

Didn't you?

Nice try,
but it doesn't lead to anything.

No!

Oh, you wanna be first?

You double-cross--

[gunshot]
Oh!

James, are you all right?

I am now.

The stone!

-Is he...?
-Yeah.

He's dead.

James.

We did it.

[Thomas]
If this one's here,

where do you think
the other ones are?

-I don't know.
-Does it really matter?

I only need one to prove
the Book of Mormon is true.

How long do you think
before we get home?

That's their wagon.

That's our way home.

The things from the cave.

[James] Ya!
[horses neigh]

Why did we bother
making a fire for light?

We cannot risk the stone.

Not when we've come so far.

Let me get more firewood.

In Ether,

the Jaredite people
refused to believe

the warnings that God sent them.

They would not repent.

They should have believed.

They knew they were doing wrong,

but that didn't matter.

Even when they fell
by the thousands.

And they were too proud
to admit it.

Pride?

I guess so.

Or was it that they
didn't have enough faith?

What do you mean?

You have found something
remarkable.

Something that Jesus Christ
touched and brought to light.

We've been kept safe
in so much danger.

So why do I still doubt?

Am I so blind?
Can I not see what Thomas does?

You do believe.

Why else would you come
with us?

So I wouldn't be alone.

How can I be near something
so sacred?

Elaine.

I'm not worthy.

How could I be, when
I still have doubts?

You don't have a perfect
belief in the gospel.

But you want to believe.
I've seen it.

In your help
throughout our journey,

and in you reading the Book
of Mormon and as you pray.

Within you
is the desire to believe.

And that hope
has strengthened you.

Has it?

You will know one day.

If it's not today, or tomorrow,
or the next,

don't give up.

Keep hoping.

God will answer your prayer.

Whoa! Whoa!

It's good to be home.

I can't wait to tell
Brother Joseph.

I will go see him.

We still need to be cautious.

Stay with the wagon.
Keep everything else safe.

In Ether, the brother of Jared
asked the Lord

to help them have light
as they traveled.

Yes. He touched 16 stones.

What if I told you
one has been found?

Ready to present as proof

that the Book of Mormon is true,
once and for all.

I would say that such things
should not be brought forth.

But...

think of all the hardships
we've have gone through.

All the persecution
you have suffered!

James, there are those
who will deny the truth

no matter what the proof
before them.

When I had the golden plates,

I thought time and time again

that if I could just
show them to the world,

they would believe.

God would not allow it.

And God knows best.

Many who heard about the plates

only cared
for their value as gold,

not for what they really were.

As much as we want others
to believe,

we cannot force them.

How can anyone not believe this?

There is no explaining it
other than what it is.

Proof without faith is nothing.

Faith is not built on what
you can see and touch.

It's built on what you
cannot see and cannot touch.

It's built on what you feel
in your heart,

you know in your very soul.

Then...

why did I find it?

We felt God helping us,
guiding us.

There were too many things
to just be coincidence.

I'm sure He did.

But perhaps it was to help you
grow from the journey.

But... but I...
all that we went through...

are you certain about this?

Don't you even wanna see it?

I don't have to.

What should I do now?

You'll know what to do.

Are you certain the Prophet said
not to show it?

Not as proof.

-So...
-I don't know.

What do you think?

If the prophet said no, would
you really go against that?

Still upset?

No.

Well, yes.

All our effort was for nothing.

Don't look at it that way.

How else am I to see it?

I know Joseph is right,

but still... it does not lessen
the disappointment.

What was the purpose
of finding the stone

if we can't help anyone with it?

It helped me.

I wondered what my parents
would say

if I showed them the stone.

But I know the answer.

They would say it was some
foolish trick, or call it evil.

They would not believe because

they did not have
the faith before.

It's always been about faith.

It took great faith
for the brother of Jared

to ask the Lord
to touch those stones.

And it took faith for you,
James,

to go, look for them.

Last night, I prayed.

I prayed as I never have before.

I asked God to know
if the gospel was true.

The stone may not be out
in the world for them to see,

but...

in finding it,
I found a reward for my faith,

however small it was.

I always knew
you had great faith.

The journey helped you too.

How?

I feel as if I am the same.

But you are not.

The anger that was inside of you
before we left is gone.

And instead of despair,
there's hope.

Yes.

For a better future.

[Thomas]
Hey, James!

Well...

Well...

It's about time.

What now?

Well...
We need to return the record

and the things Gordon stole
to Kitchi's cave.

And what about the stone?
What do we do with that?

Maybe another journey
will help us find the answer.
