In the aftermath of Thomas Logan’s and John Howlett’s deaths, James is thrown out of the house by his mother, calling him an “animal” and a “damned abortion.” As he flees, Rose chases after him. As Dog is left severely wounded, Elizabeth puts a shotgun to her head and pulls the trigger. When the constables arrive with Howlett senior, Dog accuses Rose of committing the killings. The next day James and Rose return to the house. Awaiting them is Howlett senior, who gives them money and tells them never to return. The pair head deeper within Canada seeking refuge at a distant outpost that provides stones for building. When asked James’s name, Rose answers, “Logan.”
