1
00:01:30,132 --> 00:01:31,882
You're too late...
2
00:01:32,927 --> 00:01:34,967
She died two hours ago.
3
00:01:39,225 --> 00:01:42,185
The Relief Society sisters
are preparing her for burial.
4
00:03:04,101 --> 00:03:05,641
Brother Johnson.
5
00:03:08,022 --> 00:03:11,072
Your wife would like to talk to you.
6
00:03:19,158 --> 00:03:21,788
My darling!
7
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,502
I had the most wonderful dream.
8
00:03:24,663 --> 00:03:31,633
There was a man with white hair
and a full white beard
9
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:34,005
sitting here beside my bed.
10
00:03:34,173 --> 00:03:40,473
He told me that I would bear
and raise seven daughters.
11
00:03:40,638 --> 00:03:41,848
The man also said
12
00:03:42,014 --> 00:03:48,104
there would be a time in life
when they would all stand together
13
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:52,020
and be a great joy to me.
14
00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:24,767
Being worthy
when your opportunity arrives
15
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:29,312
is a lesson it took me years to learn.
16
00:04:29,478 --> 00:04:30,768
It is, for me,
17
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:33,978
what a good life is all about.
18
00:04:54,420 --> 00:05:00,050
But as a boy, becoming a good man
was the furthest thing from my mind.
19
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:26,243
It wasn't the first time I'd put Lindy
up wet,
20
00:07:26,405 --> 00:07:28,315
but as it was Sunday,
21
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:31,990
Pa couldn't take it to me
'til the Sabbath had passed.
22
00:07:32,161 --> 00:07:35,581
They went off to church
and that gave me time
23
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:39,327
to make the decision
to strike off on my own...
24
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:42,711
I've always loved the Sabbath.
25
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:52,255
I determined to show my parents
26
00:07:52,431 --> 00:07:55,141
I could sort out what this life
is all about
27
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:57,559
and grow up
to become a good man.
28
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:14,083
I worked my way around
parts of the country for a time,
29
00:08:14,244 --> 00:08:17,084
learned what they knew,
then found myself
30
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:20,417
in the United States Navy
on the USS Columbia!
31
00:08:20,584 --> 00:08:21,754
Three years later
32
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:25,379
I was back where I began,
at the port of Boston.
33
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:29,587
May have broke your china
on that one, eh?
34
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,850
- Get outta here.
- Be quick about it, Eph!
35
00:08:57,621 --> 00:09:00,001
What!?
36
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:06,761
You lookin' for a bustin', mister?
37
00:09:06,922 --> 00:09:09,422
That's quite a temper
you've developed there.
38
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:12,143
Yeah, so?
39
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:15,968
Where is your home?
40
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:19,808
Ohio.
Who's asking?
41
00:09:19,977 --> 00:09:22,437
How long since you've been there?
42
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:26,231
Three years.
Now, who's asking?
43
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,610
Three years is a long time
from those you cherish.
44
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:34,617
Yeah. Well, I hope nobody's waiting
for me at the window
45
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:37,243
'cause I'm going to town,
changing ships
46
00:09:37,411 --> 00:09:40,251
and off for another three years.
47
00:09:40,414 --> 00:09:44,214
May I offer to watch your belongings
in your absence?
48
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:47,746
Now why would I ever...?
49
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:55,932
Yes, I'd be obliged, sir.
50
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,016
Thank you kindly.
51
00:09:59,141 --> 00:10:00,681
EPh, quit your dawdling!
52
00:10:00,851 --> 00:10:05,111
Time's a wastin'!
We got good times to be had tonight!
53
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:20,414
Ephraim? What kind of name
is Ephraim, anyway?
54
00:10:20,579 --> 00:10:23,999
I haven't heard a name that peculiar
since those, huh...
55
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,126
those New Guinea blokes, eh?
56
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:28,133
Strange birds they were.
57
00:10:40,682 --> 00:10:43,352
As quickly as he had arrived,
58
00:10:43,352 --> 00:10:46,772
the Man in the Grey Tweed Suit
was gone.
59
00:10:49,107 --> 00:10:51,647
A new thought entered my head.
60
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:57,370
I made the decision to forgo
the Navy and return home.
61
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:02,912
Now, in my later years,
I see more clearly.
62
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Though as a boy I had stayed
close to God,
63
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:09,919
as a sailor I was drifting
further and further away...
64
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:15,224
It was time to return and make amends
with my parents.
65
00:11:17,928 --> 00:11:20,638
Acorn, that's a good boy.
66
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:24,519
Good boy.
67
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:35,070
I believe you took a wrong turn,
neighbor.
68
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:40,914
Mother?
69
00:11:43,662 --> 00:11:45,042
L'['S Eph!
70
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:47,995
Ephraim! Ephraim!
71
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,423
My boy!
72
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,838
Where was he buried?
73
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:01,175
Near the south oak.
74
00:12:02,305 --> 00:12:06,595
Did he have an ailment?
What did he die of?
75
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:09,598
He was old, Ephraim.
He was 52.
76
00:12:13,483 --> 00:12:16,033
During those years at sea, I...
77
00:12:17,112 --> 00:12:19,702
I wanted to make you
and father proud.
78
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:23,407
Now I'll never know...
79
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:31,126
If you have any regrets, son,
let them be for your brother Sidney.
80
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:33,133
Sid...
81
00:12:33,128 --> 00:12:33,998
Where is Sidney?
82
00:12:34,171 --> 00:12:38,091
He's been led away
by the terrible Mormons.
83
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,261
Mormons?
84
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,089
They have cast a spell upon him.
85
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:42,761
Where is he?
86
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:46,349
A-way out west, almost to the ocean,
in Illinois.
87
00:12:46,516 --> 00:12:48,226
Well, then I will go and free him.
88
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:53,395
Yes, go...
as soon as you are able.
89
00:12:57,569 --> 00:13:01,279
Saving Sidney was
what my mother wanted...
90
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,368
and seemed to be an opportunity
to show her
91
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:06,663
I could do something good.
92
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:12,248
Looking back, it seems like everything
that happened in my life
93
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:15,297
was a lesson
God wanted me to learn.
94
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:20,432
Like the morning a visitor stopped by
to teach me about keeping my head.
95
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:51,057
Some days,
lessons come one after another.
96
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:06,073
After taking the right path,
a strange despair fell upon me,
97
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:11,539
and I was overpowered
by a stupor of thought.
98
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:14,536
What's the matter with me, Acorn?
I am a blathering idiot...
99
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:18,746
Must've taken a wrong path.
100
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:36,729
Something is amiss.
101
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:39,268
I do not know what to do.
102
00:15:51,993 --> 00:15:54,003
Blessed Father,
103
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:56,752
it's been a long time
since I've done this.
104
00:15:56,915 --> 00:16:00,915
For the first time in years, I prayed.
105
00:16:01,086 --> 00:16:04,666
Seems since I was a boy,
the Lord was always willing
106
00:16:04,839 --> 00:16:09,469
to keep in touch with me if I was
willing to keep in touch with Him.
107
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:12,636
And though I'd been absent
without leave,
108
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:16,476
the Lord was quick to whisper
what I should be doing.
109
00:16:21,106 --> 00:16:23,566
I felt impressed to get
on back home.
110
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,738
Soon as I got there, I realized why.
111
00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:31,780
Sidney!
112
00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:33,240
Brother!
113
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:40,210
Sidney had been told in a dream
he needed to go home.
114
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:54,758
Son, I want you to do us both
a favor.
115
00:16:55,557 --> 00:16:58,387
I want you to call on Pastor Reed
and Pastor Robbins.
116
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,600
Invite them here Thursday next.
117
00:17:01,771 --> 00:17:03,231
Just being sociable?
118
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:05,605
You and Sidney are home now.
119
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,775
I want no more of this Mormon rubbish.
120
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:15,366
They're good, Christian men.
They'll bring a Christlike message.
121
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:18,285
- A prophet in our day?!
- Prophets are a thing of the past!
122
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:20,325
Do you believe that God
is among us?
123
00:17:20,498 --> 00:17:22,038
Most certainly!
124
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:23,838
"Surely the Lord God would do nothing
125
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:27,762
but He revealeth his secret
unto his servants prophets."
126
00:17:27,922 --> 00:17:29,262
Amos 3:7.
127
00:17:34,471 --> 00:17:36,641
Well, if God did speak to man,
128
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:40,516
surely he would come to learned men
such as us!
129
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:42,558
We.
130
00:17:44,022 --> 00:17:45,272
What?
131
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,360
Proper English is we: "He would come
to learned men such as we."
132
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,820
In any case...
133
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:57,664
why would God reveal His word
to a young boy?!
134
00:17:57,827 --> 00:18:02,037
Yes! Why would the Lord
speak to a young boy,
135
00:18:02,207 --> 00:18:04,037
like He did Samuel?!
136
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,629
1st Samuel 3:4.
137
00:18:07,378 --> 00:18:11,668
Gentlemen, it is my earnest
testimony given to me
138
00:18:11,841 --> 00:18:15,971
by the spirit that Joseph Smith
is indeed a prophet of God.
139
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:19,467
And it is my testimony
that Joe Smith is a liar and a thief!
140
00:18:19,641 --> 00:18:23,061
And to believe his stories sets you
among the weakest of morons!
141
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:26,728
And any man who would follow him
would rob his own mother!
142
00:18:26,898 --> 00:18:31,068
Enough! You have crossed a line,
and I will hear no more!
143
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:35,027
Leave our home before I...
144
00:18:35,198 --> 00:18:37,658
- Go, go, go!
- Get out!
145
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:48,877
You're not welcome
in Sunday School anymore!
146
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:50,755
And forget about the socials!
147
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:52,632
Get outta here!
148
00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:56,548
And as a kid,
I hated your Sunday School class!
149
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:10,188
I am sorry, Mother...
150
00:19:12,527 --> 00:19:16,907
But no one can slander my brother
while I am here.
151
00:19:23,454 --> 00:19:25,714
[Mouthing words]
They forgot their hat!
152
00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:41,182
Now why would he come
to a young boy?
153
00:19:42,056 --> 00:19:44,636
No, he would come to learned men
such as us,
154
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:47,399
such as us, yup, YUP-
155
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:52,775
Eph, you need to know that...
156
00:19:52,942 --> 00:19:56,032
what I testified of to them is true.
157
00:19:57,447 --> 00:20:03,657
God has come again to Earth
and angels minister to men.
158
00:20:04,287 --> 00:20:08,627
I myself was about to die
from a serious rupture,
159
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:11,381
but through the laying on of hands,
I was healed.
160
00:20:13,338 --> 00:20:15,298
You were healed?
161
00:20:20,595 --> 00:20:22,635
The way Christ healed others?
162
00:20:34,984 --> 00:20:38,364
Here, this is the Book of Mormon.
163
00:20:38,529 --> 00:20:43,739
That very night, I chose to cast my lot
with Sidney and the Mormons...
164
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:48,500
and another adventure
was about to begin.
165
00:21:00,385 --> 00:21:03,885
I should have known
the moment you returned.
166
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,008
What?
167
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:08,274
You always have been
and always will be trouble!
168
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:12,520
You abandoned us once
and you'll leave us again.
169
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:14,187
Mother, I'm just...
170
00:21:14,357 --> 00:21:17,237
You bring only shame to your father
and embarrassment to me.
171
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:20,238
Because I seek to do what's right?
172
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:24,945
No! Because you only think
of your precious self!
173
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:29,288
It's not within you
to become a good man.
174
00:22:04,615 --> 00:22:10,495
Once again, in my mother's eyes,
I had failed to be good.
175
00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:17,665
So we did as she asked
and bid farewell...
176
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:21,380
then headed out
for the city of Joseph.
177
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:25,546
I had many questions,
but they were all answered,
178
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,060
and the determination
became strong within me
179
00:22:29,057 --> 00:22:34,097
to be a defender of the gospel,
of Zion and her cause,
180
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:36,480
come what may.
181
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:39,230
The same year I was baptized,
182
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,450
a young man halfway around
the world was baptized also...
183
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:48,491
His name was Thomas Dobson.
184
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:58,415
You have gifts, Thomas.
185
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:01,456
Let the spirit guide you
to foster them.
186
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:03,221
You can help others with them.
187
00:23:03,383 --> 00:23:04,933
You Mormons!
188
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,140
Run, Thomas!
189
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:03,525
Though I continually fell short,
I was trying to do better,
190
00:24:03,526 --> 00:24:06,196
which helped me through
the death of Brother Joseph,
191
00:24:06,195 --> 00:24:09,565
the Mormon Battalion
and many other trials.
192
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:12,200
At length, I made it
to the Salt Lake Valley
193
00:24:12,368 --> 00:24:16,578
and thought to continue
my pursuits there in Zion.
194
00:24:25,214 --> 00:24:29,844
Sidney! You know what the worst thing
about multiple wives is?
195
00:24:31,345 --> 00:24:33,595
Multiple mother-in-laws!
196
00:24:57,663 --> 00:25:01,253
He thinks he's funny, but he's not.
197
00:25:06,047 --> 00:25:08,217
Brother Brigham...
Arza.
198
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:12,756
Eph, there is something
that I would like you to do for me.
199
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:16,183
Before you spend another minute
in this place,
200
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:21,229
I want you to go home
and shave off that beard.
201
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,700
Yes, Brother.
202
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:51,715
Not a word.
203
00:25:59,809 --> 00:26:02,479
I'm really not like my brother.
204
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:13,777
Well, what got into you?
205
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:15,738
I think the cat licked you clean.
206
00:26:16,659 --> 00:26:18,829
I look like a peeled onion.
207
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:39,965
Brother Hanks,
did I ask you to shave?
208
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:43,440
Yes, Brother Brigham, you did.
209
00:26:43,894 --> 00:26:47,364
Well, then, go on home
and do it right!
210
00:27:03,497 --> 00:27:06,667
Now there is a man
that will give strict obedience,
211
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:09,884
regardless the nature of my request.
212
00:27:10,046 --> 00:27:14,296
There is a man that I can trust
with the most important of missions.
213
00:28:12,983 --> 00:28:15,703
Oh, marvelous, me boy, marvelous!
214
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,201
You truly have a gift, Thomas.
215
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:22,664
Someday you will be a great strength
to many that carry heavy burdens.
216
00:28:31,168 --> 00:28:34,758
Through those next years,
I contracted to carry the mail
217
00:28:34,922 --> 00:28:37,552
from Salt Lake to St. Louis
and back.
218
00:28:39,135 --> 00:28:41,845
I made the trip 'most 50 times...
219
00:28:42,012 --> 00:28:44,812
so many times,
it became humdrum.
220
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:58,857
I crossed the plains
during any season of the year.
221
00:28:59,029 --> 00:29:03,739
I got to where it did not matter
to me what the conditions were.
222
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:07,289
I was again being prepared.
223
00:29:20,092 --> 00:29:23,512
On one such trip, I was warned
that an angry tribe
224
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:26,849
was camped a short distance
off the trail.
225
00:29:27,016 --> 00:29:32,096
But rather than avoiding them,
I felt impressed to call on them.
226
00:29:43,824 --> 00:29:47,204
I was taken to the chief's tent.
227
00:29:49,455 --> 00:29:53,955
They were clearly very happy
I had made the effort to stop by.
228
00:33:15,703 --> 00:33:20,333
I believe we are each given
certain gifts.
229
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:24,632
I was coming to realize one of mine.
230
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:36,469
Ovez, oyez!
231
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,230
The Dobsons are departing for "Zion"!
232
00:33:40,602 --> 00:33:42,562
Come one, come all,
233
00:33:42,730 --> 00:33:45,690
and buy of their goods!
234
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:51,492
Mother! How can you allow the crier
to pitch our name about?
235
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:53,695
He is announcing to all
our private plans.
236
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:57,326
Truth be told, you have no care at all
about our private plans.
237
00:33:57,494 --> 00:33:59,794
- You are embarrassed.
- And perhaps I am!
238
00:33:59,955 --> 00:34:02,495
I have no desire to travel
to some uncivilized desert,
239
00:34:02,666 --> 00:34:05,536
full of wild beasts, where they have
no respect for the dance.
240
00:34:05,711 --> 00:34:08,511
You have no desire
to leave your sweetheart!
241
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:12,472
But, Thomas, you know she will
never accept the church.
242
00:34:13,886 --> 00:34:16,756
The Prophet has said, "Go",
and go we must,
243
00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:20,100
for I know this to be the true church
of God.
244
00:34:20,267 --> 00:34:25,267
Me boy, you've got
to lose your life to find it.
245
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:36,950
Two months later, the Dobsons
were aboard the ship Horizon...
246
00:34:37,117 --> 00:34:39,157
and two months after that...
247
00:34:46,168 --> 00:34:53,218
Me boy, I can scarcely put
one foot in front of the other.
248
00:34:53,217 --> 00:34:58,387
Let it be spoken again, Mother,
I wanted no part of this.
249
00:34:58,555 --> 00:35:01,175
The Lord looks after His own, son.
250
00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:03,810
For your efforts, you'll be blessed.
251
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,843
What be the trouble?
252
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:33,513
Trouble? Oh, there be no trouble...
253
00:35:33,674 --> 00:35:36,594
just the matter of Jonathan Stone,
found eaten by the wolves.
254
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,640
No!
255
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:39,513
Brother Stone!
256
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,310
It can't be!
257
00:35:41,473 --> 00:35:44,603
It can and it be.
258
00:36:12,004 --> 00:36:13,424
Brother Dobson.
259
00:36:15,549 --> 00:36:17,889
I'm told you dance the jig.
260
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:23,100
The Saints could use
a bit of cheerio' up at this time.
261
00:36:25,309 --> 00:36:27,729
It would mean much to us all.
262
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:33,613
They must have meant someone else...
263
00:36:35,110 --> 00:36:36,700
not I.
264
00:36:55,339 --> 00:36:58,179
In October 1856,
265
00:36:58,175 --> 00:37:00,925
I had contracted for a load of fish,
266
00:37:01,094 --> 00:37:03,224
which I pulled out of Utah Lake.
267
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:06,348
I stayed that night
at the cabin of Gerney Brown.
268
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:08,886
We're building this brick wall,
and he says, "Hey, Ephraim!
269
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:10,901
How thick is that brick wall?"
270
00:37:11,063 --> 00:37:15,193
In many ways, I believe
my entire life had been a plan
271
00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:20,529
so I might be prepared for what became
my greatest adventure.
272
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:26,830
Ephraim.
273
00:37:29,957 --> 00:37:31,497
Ephraim.
274
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:37,094
Yes, Brother Brown.
275
00:37:37,089 --> 00:37:41,389
The handcart people are in trouble,
and you are wanted.
276
00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:43,181
VWI you help them?
277
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,140
Yes, I will go if I am called.
278
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:58,443
Ephraim! The handcart people
are in trouble, and you are wanted.
279
00:37:58,610 --> 00:38:01,490
Will you help them?
280
00:38:05,826 --> 00:38:07,236
Yes.
281
00:38:24,011 --> 00:38:26,311
Well, what if they should bite us
in the night?
282
00:38:26,471 --> 00:38:30,391
Oh, keep your hair on, there'll be
no wolf worries while I'm about.
283
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:34,439
There I was lying on the ground,
looking right into the eyes
284
00:38:34,604 --> 00:38:38,614
of the biggest, meanest,
beastly wolf I'd ever seen.
285
00:38:38,775 --> 00:38:40,645
I didn't know what to do.
286
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:43,822
Then a voice said to me,
"Poke him in the eye!"
287
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:46,159
So I poked him in the eye!
288
00:38:46,325 --> 00:38:48,155
And you know what he did?
289
00:38:48,327 --> 00:38:50,327
He whimpered like a little pup
and ran away,
290
00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:52,995
never to bother me again,
and he won't bother you either.
291
00:38:53,165 --> 00:38:54,785
They're frightened of me, you know.
292
00:38:55,959 --> 00:38:56,499
Bless you, son.
293
00:38:57,377 --> 00:38:59,707
The nights grow colder.
294
00:39:02,758 --> 00:39:04,718
Are you keeping on, Thomas?
295
00:39:06,053 --> 00:39:08,393
Not really, Mother.
I'd have to say, no, not really.
296
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:17,057
I've waited 19 years
to make this journey, Thomas,
297
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:21,030
and if we hang on a bit,
for the sure of it, we'll be blessed.
298
00:39:21,193 --> 00:39:25,413
Well, let me tell you how I would like
to be blessed...
299
00:39:26,365 --> 00:39:28,485
If I have to hear that pipsqueak
say one more time
300
00:39:28,658 --> 00:39:32,788
how he poked that wolf in eye,
I'm going to poke him in the eye!
301
00:39:42,214 --> 00:39:46,724
I am sorry, I was only trying
to soothe their fears.
302
00:39:47,969 --> 00:39:49,299
Thomas!
303
00:39:53,642 --> 00:39:55,602
I am so sorry.
304
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:58,729
It's been a hard time for him and...
305
00:40:00,315 --> 00:40:01,935
Brother Dobson.
306
00:40:03,276 --> 00:40:05,696
Brother Tyler.
307
00:40:05,862 --> 00:40:08,242
Thomas, I have a calling for you.
308
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:14,958
I would like you to accept
position in the burial squad.
309
00:40:17,874 --> 00:40:21,504
Are there so many now
that we require a squad?
310
00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:27,431
Yes.
311
00:40:36,017 --> 00:40:37,387
Thank you, brother.
312
00:40:45,152 --> 00:40:47,452
Pardon me...
313
00:40:49,406 --> 00:40:52,156
Pardon me, brother...
314
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:56,579
I do not know your name.
315
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:02,592
Are you dodging me?
316
00:41:14,598 --> 00:41:15,968
Pardon...
317
00:41:16,892 --> 00:41:20,812
It is just difficult for me
to speak to a young girl...
318
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:24,106
a YQUHQ, pretty girl...
319
00:41:24,399 --> 00:41:27,029
when I have not bathed
in four weeks.
320
00:41:28,862 --> 00:41:31,362
You haven't bathed in four weeks?
321
00:41:32,574 --> 00:41:34,334
How remarkable.
322
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:38,747
You smell as if it's only been three!
323
00:41:47,589 --> 00:41:49,299
Thank you.
324
00:41:54,554 --> 00:41:57,064
Next morning I headed
toward Salt Lake
325
00:41:57,224 --> 00:42:00,394
to learn what Brother Brigham
would have me do.
326
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:22,169
Are you Ephraim Hanks?
327
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:25,456
Who's asking?
328
00:42:25,460 --> 00:42:28,960
Messenger from Brother Brigham!
329
00:42:32,342 --> 00:42:35,892
Turns out, right when I was goin'
looking for the prophet,
330
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:38,604
the prophet was looking for me.
331
00:42:38,765 --> 00:42:43,185
As I pronounced in Conference,
all the piety in the world
332
00:42:43,353 --> 00:42:46,733
will not keep those souls
from harm's way.
333
00:42:46,898 --> 00:42:50,108
We must show our faith
through our actions!
334
00:42:50,277 --> 00:42:53,857
That is my religion
and that is the dictation
335
00:42:54,030 --> 00:42:56,530
of the Holy Ghost that I possess.
336
00:42:57,325 --> 00:43:02,955
Go and bring in those Saints
who are still on the plains.
337
00:43:03,123 --> 00:43:06,503
I will get ready
and can start in a few days.
338
00:43:07,127 --> 00:43:08,547
I can be ready on Thursday.
339
00:43:11,715 --> 00:43:12,965
Brother Brigham...
340
00:43:14,843 --> 00:43:17,303
I am ready now!
341
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:27,809
The Lord prepares each of us
for the purposes
342
00:43:27,981 --> 00:43:31,611
that He has placed us on this Earth
to accomplish.
343
00:43:31,776 --> 00:43:34,566
Moments are set
before each one of us
344
00:43:34,738 --> 00:43:37,658
that, if we give
all that is within us,
345
00:43:37,824 --> 00:43:44,914
will bring us to an ability
and power we have not before known.
346
00:43:46,499 --> 00:43:50,879
Though the days were still warm,
Brother Brigham knew
347
00:43:51,046 --> 00:43:53,256
things would soon change.
348
00:44:04,434 --> 00:44:08,064
Those of you with strength at all
cross back and help the others!
349
00:44:08,229 --> 00:44:11,859
Those of you with strength at all
cross back and help the others!
350
00:44:14,277 --> 00:44:18,197
Those of you with strength at all
cross back and help the others!
351
00:44:18,198 --> 00:44:20,328
Did you hear Captain Martin, Thomas?
352
00:44:22,369 --> 00:44:24,369
They'll be fine.
353
00:45:25,181 --> 00:45:30,981
Keep to your right!
There are perils on the left!
354
00:45:31,146 --> 00:45:33,396
Keep to your right!
355
00:45:33,565 --> 00:45:37,985
Brother Albert, would you do us
the honor of riding in our cart?
356
00:45:38,153 --> 00:45:39,533
Superb!
357
00:45:41,865 --> 00:45:43,025
Bless you for your goodness.
358
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:45,199
I am feeling a bit
under the weather today.
359
00:45:46,035 --> 00:45:47,995
Normally, I would secure
myself across,
360
00:45:48,163 --> 00:45:52,463
perhaps several others,
but today is an exception, to be sure...
361
00:45:52,625 --> 00:45:55,705
I'm really quite a good swimmer,
you should see.
362
00:45:55,879 --> 00:45:58,589
I can get across in no time, I'm sure.
363
00:45:58,757 --> 00:46:01,677
Just not feeling very today.
364
00:46:01,843 --> 00:46:03,853
I feel bad, I see these other people.
365
00:46:04,012 --> 00:46:06,392
I feel as though I could help, but...oh!
366
00:46:06,556 --> 00:46:09,176
That water is wet.
367
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:17,438
I'll see this across, sister.
368
00:46:17,609 --> 00:46:19,649
Bless you, Captain.
369
00:46:23,948 --> 00:46:26,658
Who will help us, Mommy?
370
00:46:29,037 --> 00:46:31,247
The Lord helps those
who help themselves, Paul.
371
00:46:32,499 --> 00:46:34,999
Now come about.
Let's be on with it.
372
00:46:39,214 --> 00:46:42,934
Keep to your right!
There are deep holes on the left side!
373
00:46:59,984 --> 00:47:01,444
Thank you so much.
374
00:47:01,611 --> 00:47:04,781
It's awfully deep, and, um...
375
00:47:04,948 --> 00:47:06,158
Really, you did a great job.
376
00:47:06,157 --> 00:47:09,367
I'm grateful to be across.
Really, bless you, brother. Thank you.
377
00:47:10,245 --> 00:47:11,745
Steady on!
378
00:47:19,337 --> 00:47:22,087
I did promise I would walk
every step of the way to Zion,
379
00:47:22,257 --> 00:47:24,337
but I really don't think rivers count.
380
00:47:24,509 --> 00:47:26,719
I mean, it's awfully deep
and awfully wet,
381
00:47:26,886 --> 00:47:29,056
and I just don't think I would make it.
382
00:47:29,222 --> 00:47:32,272
I mean, I am a pretty good swimmer,
but I don't...
383
00:47:41,734 --> 00:47:43,034
Somebody... Hey!
384
00:47:46,447 --> 00:47:48,067
Help!
385
00:47:51,953 --> 00:47:52,333
Help!
386
00:48:01,963 --> 00:48:03,213
Help us!
387
00:48:03,381 --> 00:48:05,091
Somebody help them!
388
00:48:05,258 --> 00:48:08,138
Save yourself
or you'll both be drowned!
389
00:48:08,303 --> 00:48:10,053
We're drowning!
390
00:48:15,476 --> 00:48:18,306
Here! Grab hold! Grab hold!
391
00:48:21,316 --> 00:48:25,356
Leave him, let him go into the water!
392
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:30,034
No! He is my son!
393
00:48:34,996 --> 00:48:39,246
Father, I need thy help! Father!
394
00:48:56,601 --> 00:48:57,641
Under the bank!
395
00:48:57,644 --> 00:48:59,774
She's over here!
396
00:49:10,657 --> 00:49:17,207
I bear witness to each of you this day
that God lives!
397
00:49:17,372 --> 00:49:20,672
He protected and saved me son
and me.
398
00:49:20,833 --> 00:49:24,133
Without his help, we would now
be drowned in the water.
399
00:49:25,713 --> 00:49:28,843
Any and all who hear my voice know
400
00:49:29,008 --> 00:49:32,468
that a miracle has come
to pass this day
401
00:49:32,637 --> 00:49:34,677
before your very eyes.
402
00:50:22,103 --> 00:50:24,523
I brought you a gift.
403
00:50:27,191 --> 00:50:31,741
My mother says that if one rubs
these leaves into one's hands,
404
00:50:31,904 --> 00:50:34,494
it will soften and heal them.
405
00:50:38,286 --> 00:50:40,116
May I?
406
00:50:54,761 --> 00:50:56,391
Is it working?
407
00:50:58,431 --> 00:50:59,811
Yes.
408
00:51:01,017 --> 00:51:03,847
For certain, it is working.
409
00:51:07,565 --> 00:51:08,645
Brother Dobson.
410
00:52:18,219 --> 00:52:20,849
He helped everyone he could.
411
00:52:22,765 --> 00:52:23,925
Oh, Albert.
412
00:52:29,730 --> 00:52:34,400
He's fine now, children.
He is right with the Lord.
413
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,110
Let me.
414
00:52:40,908 --> 00:52:44,198
Please, allow me.
415
00:52:49,125 --> 00:52:52,995
He gave everything for the gospel.
416
00:53:18,362 --> 00:53:21,322
It was a pleasant enough go
for a few days,
417
00:53:21,324 --> 00:53:24,994
though my wagon,
full of supplies for the handcarters,
418
00:53:24,994 --> 00:53:28,624
was not the fastest rig on the trail.
419
00:53:28,789 --> 00:53:34,749
Then, still early in the season,
what Brigham prophesied came true.
420
00:53:36,797 --> 00:53:40,047
To be on the trail
in these conditions meant
421
00:53:40,218 --> 00:53:42,348
we were all risking our lives.
422
00:53:42,511 --> 00:53:45,351
Ephraim! Ephraim! Eph!
423
00:53:45,514 --> 00:53:48,024
We're hunkering down here
'til she blows over!
424
00:53:48,184 --> 00:53:50,354
We'll be here 'til spring!
425
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:03,994
Worthless! Utterly worthless!
426
00:54:04,909 --> 00:54:07,119
Will do better without them at all!
427
00:54:07,286 --> 00:54:09,406
Absolute tosh!
428
00:54:29,517 --> 00:54:31,137
Are you leaving them?
429
00:54:32,144 --> 00:54:34,614
Yes, I am leaving them.
430
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:38,824
May I have them, please?
431
00:54:41,153 --> 00:54:45,373
They will do you no good.
They can't be made to stay afoot.
432
00:54:47,326 --> 00:54:48,736
Take them, Elizabeth.
433
00:54:50,371 --> 00:54:51,581
Thank you.
434
00:54:56,085 --> 00:54:58,375
F or soup.
435
00:54:58,379 --> 00:54:58,959
What?
436
00:54:59,839 --> 00:55:03,429
She wants to boil them
and make a broth for her family.
437
00:55:05,261 --> 00:55:06,851
So it's come to this, has it?
438
00:55:07,013 --> 00:55:11,983
That there is nothing more to eat
than a bit of disgusting broth
439
00:55:12,143 --> 00:55:14,943
made from a stodgy boot?
440
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:23,780
What's her tale?
441
00:55:24,613 --> 00:55:26,533
Elizabeth Bradshaw...
442
00:55:27,366 --> 00:55:29,286
She's a marvelous sister.
443
00:55:31,996 --> 00:55:34,916
She had two husbands
perish back home,
444
00:55:35,082 --> 00:55:38,542
but she'll not give up her hope
to get to Zion.
445
00:55:38,711 --> 00:55:42,761
When she was already on board ship,
ready to sail from Liverpool,
446
00:55:42,923 --> 00:55:46,343
her two wealthy brothers came aboard
447
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:49,470
and told her not to take her children
to "those forsaken Mormons"
448
00:55:49,638 --> 00:55:52,138
and such a despised place.
449
00:55:52,975 --> 00:55:55,095
They promised that if she would stay,
450
00:55:55,269 --> 00:55:57,809
she would never yearn for anything
money could buy.
451
00:55:57,980 --> 00:55:59,270
But she held her son close,
452
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:03,240
turned to her brothers and said,
"The gospel is true.
453
00:56:03,402 --> 00:56:05,702
Joseph Smith is a prophet of God,
454
00:56:05,863 --> 00:56:09,453
and we are going to Zion."
455
00:56:12,578 --> 00:56:18,538
Sister Bradshaw knows, there are
possessions more precious than gold.
456
00:56:48,322 --> 00:56:52,952
Reddick Allred had been assigned
to wait with supplies at South Pass
457
00:56:53,119 --> 00:56:55,789
'til wagons could make it through.
458
00:56:57,373 --> 00:57:00,333
You know what the worst thing
is about, uh...
459
00:57:00,501 --> 00:57:02,091
Multiple wives?
460
00:57:05,089 --> 00:57:08,129
...being out here on the trail
all the time?
461
00:57:09,301 --> 00:57:11,391
Chapped lips.
462
00:57:12,346 --> 00:57:14,266
I can tell you how to fix that.
463
00:57:15,933 --> 00:57:18,773
Pick up one of them horse apples
on the trail...
464
00:57:18,936 --> 00:57:21,306
Rub it around your lips.
465
00:57:23,232 --> 00:57:25,402
Sounds like an odd cure.
466
00:57:27,278 --> 00:57:29,198
It won't cure 'em...
467
00:57:29,363 --> 00:57:31,493
It'll sure keep you from lickin' 'em.
468
00:57:46,881 --> 00:57:48,221
Brothers!
We're heading back!
469
00:57:48,382 --> 00:57:50,302
Ain't no way there's
a company out in this.
470
00:57:50,468 --> 00:57:53,638
Either they's stopped somewhere
in Nebraska, or they's dead of the cold.
471
00:57:53,804 --> 00:57:55,934
Did you get word to go back?
472
00:57:56,849 --> 00:58:00,849
Get word?
How could we get word?
473
00:58:03,856 --> 00:58:05,566
You gonna go. ED“?
474
00:58:23,959 --> 00:58:27,509
Those of you with strength at all
cross back and help the others!
475
00:58:27,671 --> 00:58:33,471
If you have any strength left at all,
please, go back and help the others!
476
00:58:33,636 --> 00:58:37,846
If you can, please cross back
and help the others!
477
00:58:38,265 --> 00:58:40,555
Just get yourself over, me boy.
478
00:58:40,726 --> 00:58:43,096
Others have boots.
479
00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:45,560
Just get yourself over.
480
00:58:51,987 --> 00:58:54,617
Remember?
The Lord helped us last time?
481
00:58:54,782 --> 00:58:57,282
Remember?
We can do this.
482
00:58:57,451 --> 00:58:59,331
Please?
483
00:59:08,754 --> 00:59:12,054
I just need you
to be my big man, please?
484
00:59:12,216 --> 00:59:14,966
Sister Bradshaw?
485
00:59:16,178 --> 00:59:18,808
I was hoping your son
would assist me across the river.
486
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:27,774
What do you think of that?
487
00:59:29,942 --> 00:59:31,402
Okay.
488
00:59:34,238 --> 00:59:35,608
Thank you.
489
01:00:34,590 --> 01:00:37,640
Brother Dobson,
would you assist these Saints
490
01:00:37,801 --> 01:00:39,601
up and out of the marshes?
491
01:00:40,638 --> 01:00:42,428
Yes, Captain!
492
01:00:42,431 --> 01:00:45,181
But first,
I must see the others across.
493
01:00:55,986 --> 01:00:58,316
He is coming to help us.
494
01:00:59,406 --> 01:01:00,616
Yes...
495
01:01:01,742 --> 01:01:03,452
He is helping others.
496
01:01:38,529 --> 01:01:41,069
Strange how lively
your thoughts become
497
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,120
after making a poor decision.
498
01:01:47,037 --> 01:01:49,077
Did you get word to go back?
499
01:01:49,248 --> 01:01:51,208
How could we get word?
500
01:01:51,709 --> 01:01:53,999
You only think of your precious self!
501
01:01:54,169 --> 01:01:56,549
The Lord prepares each of us.
502
01:01:56,714 --> 01:01:58,764
Keep your head, Eph!
503
01:02:05,973 --> 01:02:08,063
Headed the wrong way, boys!
504
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:11,475
Goin' home.
They's either camped or dead.
505
01:02:12,396 --> 01:02:14,106
How do you know that?
506
01:02:22,573 --> 01:02:24,743
I'll make you a proposition.
507
01:02:24,908 --> 01:02:28,118
There's a decent place to camp
just back a piece.
508
01:02:28,287 --> 01:02:31,417
You wait there.
We'll go on and find them.
509
01:02:31,582 --> 01:02:34,132
What makes you think
you could find them when we couldn't?
510
01:02:34,293 --> 01:02:36,713
Brother Brigham sent me
to find these Saints,
511
01:02:36,879 --> 01:02:41,469
and I'll find them
or I'll give my life trying.
512
01:02:44,178 --> 01:02:46,218
We'll wait for ya, Arza.
513
01:03:00,611 --> 01:03:03,741
Ephraim! Will you help them?
514
01:03:04,615 --> 01:03:06,275
Yes.
515
01:03:06,450 --> 01:03:07,830
I seek to do what's right.
516
01:03:10,162 --> 01:03:12,162
Keep the fire goin', boys!
517
01:03:24,802 --> 01:03:26,802
Arza! Dan!
518
01:03:33,769 --> 01:03:37,519
Sometimes it's not which side
of the fork in the road to take,
519
01:03:37,689 --> 01:03:42,149
it's which direction on the road
you ought to be headed.
520
01:03:50,410 --> 01:03:54,870
Despite our prayers, Mother,
they are not getting better.
521
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:56,920
They are getting worse.
522
01:03:58,085 --> 01:04:01,955
So it this the blessing of the righteous
which you speak of?
523
01:04:08,011 --> 01:04:12,471
Please, Lord, we need Thy help,
and we need it now.
524
01:04:12,641 --> 01:04:15,601
Or there will not be a live one
amongst us.
525
01:04:18,814 --> 01:04:22,864
It wasn't long before our wagon
was snowbound.
526
01:04:23,026 --> 01:04:27,406
We determined they would wait
for help, and I would move on.
527
01:04:27,573 --> 01:04:30,033
Even on horse it'll be a tough go.
528
01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:33,083
You can't move mountains
while you're sitting on your backside!
529
01:04:51,346 --> 01:04:56,476
I saw what you did,
helping others across the river.
530
01:04:56,643 --> 01:04:59,233
It was a really lovely thing to do.
531
01:05:14,536 --> 01:05:19,456
Thomas, did you leave a girl
in England?
532
01:05:21,501 --> 01:05:22,921
Yes.
533
01:05:23,921 --> 01:05:25,801
Was she pretty?
534
01:05:28,133 --> 01:05:30,183
Yes, she was...
535
01:05:33,180 --> 01:05:35,350
Did you leave a boy in England?
536
01:05:37,059 --> 01:05:38,979
Yes.
537
01:05:41,229 --> 01:05:44,229
Was he... handsome?
538
01:05:46,944 --> 01:05:51,494
No, he was quite plain, actually.
539
01:05:53,158 --> 01:05:56,038
So I just tried not to look at him
too much.
540
01:05:58,997 --> 01:06:00,867
Look at me.
541
01:06:12,302 --> 01:06:15,682
Rally up! Move along now!
542
01:06:15,681 --> 01:06:16,851
I'd best be off.
543
01:06:17,015 --> 01:06:19,225
Ester ...
544
01:06:19,393 --> 01:06:20,733
I will keep an eye on you.
545
01:06:20,894 --> 01:06:23,484
No, Thomas, I'll be fine.
546
01:06:23,647 --> 01:06:25,767
You help the others.
547
01:06:37,828 --> 01:06:39,408
Eph!
548
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:42,962
Eph, we found them!
549
01:06:43,125 --> 01:06:46,415
It wasn't much later Joseph A. Young
and Abel Garr showed.
550
01:06:46,586 --> 01:06:49,456
They had found the Martin company
at Red Buttes
551
01:06:49,631 --> 01:06:52,301
and left several rescuers there
to aid them.
552
01:06:53,427 --> 01:06:56,677
They were riding day and night
to get back and report
553
01:06:56,847 --> 01:06:58,177
to Brother Brigham.
554
01:06:58,348 --> 01:07:02,888
They hurried off, exhorting me
to find them and do what I could.
555
01:07:03,061 --> 01:07:08,191
Their account of the deprivation
they saw startled me.
556
01:07:14,948 --> 01:07:18,198
I knew those Saints had no food left...
557
01:07:18,368 --> 01:07:22,618
so I asked for a desire
that had been planted in my heart.
558
01:07:28,378 --> 01:07:30,008
Dear Father...
559
01:07:32,090 --> 01:07:35,680
You've told us to ask
for what we stand in need of.
560
01:07:37,929 --> 01:07:40,139
I ask you now...
561
01:07:40,974 --> 01:07:44,064
that a buffalo be put before me.
562
01:07:59,868 --> 01:08:01,198
Mercy, Lord!
563
01:08:01,369 --> 01:08:03,869
What took you so long?
564
01:08:05,707 --> 01:08:06,827
It was a rare thing
565
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,300
to find buffalo around that place
at this late season.
566
01:08:23,517 --> 01:08:26,347
I knew the hand of the Lord was in it
567
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,940
for that animal had stayed behind
568
01:08:29,106 --> 01:08:32,566
when the rest of its kind
left for their winter quarters.
569
01:08:32,734 --> 01:08:37,614
I skinned and dressed it,
then loaded up my horses with it.
570
01:08:51,294 --> 01:08:53,004
Brothers!
571
01:09:51,229 --> 01:09:53,729
The sun was about an hour high
in the west
572
01:09:53,899 --> 01:09:57,859
when I spied something
in the distance.
573
01:09:57,861 --> 01:10:00,781
I perceived it moved.
574
01:10:02,866 --> 01:10:06,446
I was then satisfied
this was the Handcart company
575
01:10:06,620 --> 01:10:10,210
led by Captain Edward Martin
and Daniel Tyler.
576
01:10:11,082 --> 01:10:14,882
The sight that met my gaze
as I entered into their midst
577
01:10:14,878 --> 01:10:17,338
can never be erased
from my memory...
578
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:24,430
And any concerns I had regarding
my own well-being departed.
579
01:11:29,661 --> 01:11:31,501
I must tell you, dear brother,
580
01:11:31,663 --> 01:11:34,503
a prophecy was made
by one of the brethren
581
01:11:34,666 --> 01:11:37,416
that the company would
feast on buffalo meat
582
01:11:37,585 --> 01:11:39,335
when our provisions run short.
583
01:11:40,297 --> 01:11:41,507
Thank you.
584
01:11:43,341 --> 01:11:44,801
You and God have rescued us.
585
01:11:45,260 --> 01:11:47,550
For this, you will be known
for generations.
586
01:11:48,221 --> 01:11:50,721
What's your name, sister?
587
01:11:50,890 --> 01:11:52,980
Alice Dobson --
Preston, Lancashire, England.
588
01:11:54,019 --> 01:11:58,269
Me son is not faring well,
and this is surely a grand prize.
589
01:12:09,617 --> 01:12:11,997
We've been through much.
590
01:12:13,455 --> 01:12:17,245
Perhaps it would be best
if we rested here a day?
591
01:12:20,962 --> 01:12:24,512
Though exhausted and starved
as they may be, Captain,
592
01:12:24,674 --> 01:12:29,354
we must keep them moving
or we all perish together.
593
01:12:31,473 --> 01:12:33,773
Pardon me, brothers.
594
01:12:33,933 --> 01:12:35,523
Yes, sister?
595
01:12:36,644 --> 01:12:38,154
It's me husband!
596
01:13:03,254 --> 01:13:06,424
Please, Brother Tyler.
597
01:13:06,424 --> 01:13:08,644
He is a good man.
598
01:13:09,928 --> 01:13:13,098
He was president
of the London branch.
599
01:13:15,642 --> 01:13:19,352
He has been giving us his rations
for many weeks.
600
01:13:23,233 --> 01:13:28,073
I am sorry, sister, but I cannot
administer to a dead man.
601
01:13:37,997 --> 01:13:43,167
Brother Hanks, would you please
stay and prepare him for burial?
602
01:14:10,655 --> 01:14:16,535
Brother Martin, there is much sorrow
in the Blair tent tonight,
603
01:14:16,536 --> 01:14:21,916
but the Lord will use us as his hands
if we are willing and worthy.
604
01:14:52,155 --> 01:14:54,115
Why do you do that?
605
01:14:57,035 --> 01:14:59,365
None of us are truly clean...
606
01:15:00,955 --> 01:15:04,665
but we must do our best to be so
607
01:15:04,667 --> 01:15:07,797
as we petition the Lord
for his blessings.
608
01:15:10,590 --> 01:15:12,880
What's his name, sister?
609
01:15:13,551 --> 01:15:15,011
David Blair...
610
01:15:16,387 --> 01:15:18,177
me husband!
611
01:15:32,862 --> 01:15:38,742
David Blair, we anoint you with
this consecrated oil
612
01:15:38,743 --> 01:15:44,543
and command you in the name
of Jesus Christ, breathe and live.
613
01:15:51,673 --> 01:15:55,763
The effect of the blessing
was immediate.
614
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:00,140
Brother Blair sat up
and began to sing a hymn.
615
01:16:17,532 --> 01:16:20,742
Word spread quickly after this
616
01:16:20,910 --> 01:16:26,580
and the greater portion of my time was
then devoted to waiting on the sick.
617
01:16:39,387 --> 01:16:42,717
I administered to several hundred.
618
01:16:49,814 --> 01:16:54,574
It would be a number of days before
we would meet the supply wagons.
619
01:16:55,445 --> 01:16:57,565
There was much to be done.
620
01:17:13,963 --> 01:17:15,673
Eph!
621
01:17:18,176 --> 01:17:19,336
Brethren!
622
01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:23,060
Though more valley boys
arrived almost daily,
623
01:17:23,056 --> 01:17:27,976
it was only as a drop to a bucket
to what was needed.
624
01:17:35,985 --> 01:17:39,445
You are doing so well, me boy.
625
01:17:39,447 --> 01:17:44,237
Just a bit of broth to make you
stronger and warm your toes.
626
01:17:48,331 --> 01:17:50,791
Mother...
627
01:17:50,792 --> 01:17:53,132
I want you to know...
628
01:17:54,003 --> 01:17:57,883
that I am sorry...
629
01:17:57,882 --> 01:18:00,512
for the bother and heartache
I have caused.
630
01:18:02,095 --> 01:18:04,135
Forgive me.
631
01:18:07,308 --> 01:18:09,388
None for the wear.
632
01:18:10,186 --> 01:18:12,686
I've been my own enemy
on this journey...
633
01:18:14,399 --> 01:18:17,989
and I have laid many Saints to rest
as we've gone on...
634
01:18:19,737 --> 01:18:22,867
but soon...
635
01:18:23,032 --> 01:18:25,242
others will bury me.
636
01:18:27,370 --> 01:18:30,870
Here, here, none such talk.
637
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,580
Tomorrow will be a warmer day.
638
01:18:34,585 --> 01:18:36,915
First father...
639
01:18:37,088 --> 01:18:39,218
and now me.
640
01:18:47,724 --> 01:18:50,024
I'll soon be back.
641
01:18:59,819 --> 01:19:01,319
Brother Hanks?
642
01:19:01,487 --> 01:19:02,697
Yes, sister?
643
01:19:03,948 --> 01:19:05,738
It's me son, Thomas.
644
01:19:05,908 --> 01:19:08,368
He is having a go of it.
645
01:19:09,036 --> 01:19:13,616
All in the company say
that you have the gift.
646
01:19:15,251 --> 01:19:17,461
Would you bless him?
647
01:19:42,987 --> 01:19:44,907
It's not only that.
648
01:19:59,587 --> 01:20:01,417
Sister...
649
01:20:02,799 --> 01:20:04,219
His feet have the black.
650
01:20:08,387 --> 01:20:10,517
They'll have to come off.
651
01:20:16,771 --> 01:20:19,191
Please, Brother Hanks.
652
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:23,149
Please ask God for help.
653
01:20:24,070 --> 01:20:27,620
He is a grand dancer
of the hornpipe jig.
654
01:20:28,741 --> 01:20:31,241
Other than the gospel,
it's all he has.
655
01:20:33,412 --> 01:20:38,172
In the past day, I have removed limbs
not near this black.
656
01:20:41,629 --> 01:20:43,379
Please?
657
01:20:54,934 --> 01:20:56,564
Brother?
658
01:20:56,727 --> 01:20:58,897
Thomas.
659
01:21:03,818 --> 01:21:08,608
Do you have faith in the Savior,
that He has all power?
660
01:21:10,074 --> 01:21:13,044
I do.
661
01:21:14,620 --> 01:21:16,540
But I am not worthy.
662
01:21:17,498 --> 01:21:20,538
I have been poor and weak
in my actions.
663
01:21:23,713 --> 01:21:26,223
As have we all.
664
01:21:52,950 --> 01:21:56,540
Brother?
You are a holy man.
665
01:21:59,665 --> 01:22:03,375
I have so many faults,
I could not count them all.
666
01:22:05,838 --> 01:22:09,218
Well, how is it, then,
you do so much good?
667
01:22:14,805 --> 01:22:16,385
I try.
668
01:22:38,663 --> 01:22:41,043
Thomas Dobson.
669
01:22:41,791 --> 01:22:46,551
The time for you to leave this world
has not come.
670
01:22:48,589 --> 01:22:51,089
You have a work yet to do.
671
01:22:57,431 --> 01:22:59,641
I promise you...
672
01:22:59,809 --> 01:23:02,689
though they be blackened,
your feet shall be saved.
673
01:23:05,606 --> 01:23:10,066
Through your faith,
you will glorify God
674
01:23:10,236 --> 01:23:16,026
and others will hear of and speak
of this day for many years to come.
675
01:23:16,534 --> 01:23:20,584
They will learn of you in ways
we do not now even understand.
676
01:23:24,917 --> 01:23:29,877
Thomas Dobson,
in the name of our Savior,
677
01:23:30,047 --> 01:23:31,797
I say unto you,
678
01:23:31,966 --> 01:23:35,716
take up thy bed and walk!
679
01:24:05,124 --> 01:24:07,334
Oh, me boy, oh!
680
01:24:23,934 --> 01:24:28,864
Thomas, spirits in the camp are low.
681
01:24:29,023 --> 01:24:33,993
Do you feel the strength to now lift
as you have been lifted?
682
01:24:59,136 --> 01:25:00,716
Steady on, me boy.
683
01:26:16,422 --> 01:26:19,132
You are a good man, Brother Hanks...
684
01:26:20,467 --> 01:26:23,217
And I am certain,
wherever your mother is,
685
01:26:23,387 --> 01:26:25,427
she is very proud of you!
686
01:26:37,234 --> 01:26:40,404
Many stood in need of a rescue
that winter,
687
01:26:40,571 --> 01:26:42,621
and I was one.
688
01:26:48,913 --> 01:26:54,383
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
is another name for opportunity.
689
01:26:55,753 --> 01:26:58,513
It offers us the privilege
and responsibility
690
01:26:58,672 --> 01:27:02,642
to give something back
by becoming better than we were.
691
01:27:04,637 --> 01:27:09,387
I notice the Lord always counts
on human folks to help Him out...
692
01:27:09,558 --> 01:27:11,098
Thomas fostered his talents
693
01:27:11,268 --> 01:27:15,268
and lifted the spirits of many
to carry on.
694
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,649
I tried to choose the right paths
and be worthy when called.
695
01:27:20,361 --> 01:27:23,911
I like to think the three of us
made a difference.
