00:13 Think from here, something you want to say.
00:18 I will tell you this.
00:20 In these territories, men will come try you.
00:28 I will take from you until you are wiped clean from this land.
00:33 I'm just saying that's something you
00:34 might want to keep in mind.

00:48 of the last great open spaces.
00:51 That looks like a promising place.
00:53 The place I might be able to see myself.
00:57 You just have to stand at the river,
01:00 and you can see what the men and women up there see.
01:03 That's what drove us across the ocean to this country

01:28 What you build, they will burn down.
01:34 We just got to keep going.
01:35 You be careful.
