[September 1850: Crozier, the last survivor of the expedition, now lives with the Netsilik, when a man comes running with news...]
[Inuktitut] Two men are coming, pulling a sled. White men.
[Inuktitut] What do you want to do? [Crozier pulls up his hood]
[Inuktitut] This is what you tell them...
[Inside the hunter's tent, while Crozier listens outside, the hunter speaks with Sir James Clark Ross and his translator]
"We saw a captain there, the one called Aglooka."
[pulls out photographs of Fitzjames, Franklin, and Crozier] Ask him if one of these men is the one he's calling Aglooka. [the hunter points to the picture of Crozier]
"He spoke in our tongue. He was dying."
What did Francis say? Aglooka?
"Your friend took my hands. He said, 'Tell those who come after us not to stay. The ships are gone. There is no way through, no passage. Tell them we are gone. Dead and gone.'"
[As the translator speaks, Crozier heads out with a sledge party, and sits down to hunt for seal as the camera pans out across the ice...]
