I don't know what to say. Tristan's always been wild. You love him for that.
Do I? Yeah, I suppose I do.
Susannah, he does love you.
Yes, though you might better remind him of that.
He's not here to defend himself.
No, he's not but I see you are here to defend him and what is his. Even though he's abandoned her and you. And I won't even speak of who else he abandoned.
Damn you, boy. Don't you blame my son for Samuel's death! Samuel chose to be a soldier and soldiers die. Sent to be slaughtered by the men in the government. Parasites like you! Damn and blast you! Damn you. [turns to Susannah] And damn you too!
Shut your mouth! You leave her out of this!
You get out of my house and off my land.
Why? Because I want to serve my country like you did? Or because, like you, I love a woman who doesn't love me? He used her and he deserted her. Your darling Tristan.
Alfred, don't, please.
I loved her! I love her still. And he stole her from me. If you want to know the truth of it he stole her from Samuel before the war.
God help me, I'll kill you.
