- We're here to trade.
No matter which way we go,
we need provisions.
- Wait, are we going somewhere different?
(dramatic music)
- Settle
- Charlie, mark.
- Where they go ain't up to you.
You even ask 'em what they want?
- They won't survive.
- Then they don't survive.
- And it's really about James making his decision
for his family
that makes him take that trip to the north.
- He had to make the decision
to go a different direction.
That was the only chocie that we had.
I'm heading north.
Anyone wants to ride with me,
you're welcome.
- This image of Oregon with the ocean
and the green and the mountains and everything.
There's no other alternative.
We'll go with you.
You're so close already.
He doesn't want to go anywhere else.
- You packed up.
- I ain't gonna do it.
On top of the fact that he is interested in Noemi,
Thomas made a to these people.
I promised I'd see 'em to Oregon.
And that's what I'm going to do.
We can't just leave now and just let everybody branch out.
He has integrity.
We need to follow this to the very end.
It's going to be hard enough with you.
We ain't got no chance without you.
- There was a sort of a transition of leadership.
- I'm gonna trust you.
I think I can live with that,
but you're gonna have to lead them.
He's gonna continue to give security to the train
but he's not gonna be the leader anymore.
James is gonna take over.
Might just pull this off.
It's getting on board
and seeing the journey through.
Let's see who survives.
- In episode eight,
Elsa becomes a warrior.
She's finally the woman that she wanted to be
at the very beginning.
She is now.
She earns it.
Woo, woo.
- Girl's starting to ride like a commanche.
- And she becomes the wife of a warrior,
Sam.
- Lightning with the yellow hair.
You think you could catch me?
She feels safe with Sam.
And I think he feels the same way.
I must offer your father something.
- For what?
- For you.
- He was certainly concerned.
And he's worried about losing his daughter.
You aware of what he's asking?
- I'm aware.
And she has to tell her family
this is who I am now.
And I have to let you go.
But she does it with great strength.
- Young lady,
I will not allow this.
It's like, ugh.
It kinda takes your breath away a little bit.
- I'm allowing it.
- She's gonna do it anyway.
It's heart wrenching.
Don't just stand there,
stop 'em.
Shoot him.
- Do something.
- Naturally him as a father is kind of concerned about
how he's gonna care for his daughter.
So they have a conversation about that.
- Where will she live?
- I'll build her a house
if that's what she wants.
But, I think she would rather chase bandits
with me.
- She would.
I think that that's the biggest part
of James and Elsa's relationship that he understands her
and he understands the passion that she has.
And not only because it's a reflection of him
but it's a reflection of Margaret as well.
- She gets racing up that hill from me.
But the way she loves,
she gets that from you.
- He's wary as any father would be
but he has just enough trust
and respect for her that
that he tries to stay out of her way as much
as he can and still be a guiding hand when it,
when it's important.
- Sam gives her the vest,
makes it for her.
And I think that she probably treasures this more
than anything in the world
'cuz she treasures him more than anyone in the world.
It's beautiful.
It's authentic.
And it has the Comanche symbols on it and colors.
I think I feel honored to even be wearing this,
it's so beautiful.
First time I saw it I got emotional.
I think the most humbling experience
in her life is to be able
to wear this clothing
that is so important to this culture.
Finally, she doesn't have to be
what others tell her she needs to be.
And this is sort of a physical representation of that.
- But they're also committed to their journeys
and their paths and what they have to do.
So they plan on meeting back up together again.
We'll meet here again when the flowers bloom.
it's not a happily ever after.
It's kind of sad.
- I love you.
(speaking foreign language)
(men yelling)
- It's also true to life.
We don't always get what we want.
You gotta live with that.
