Plot: In the 1860s, five men have been tracking a sixth across Nevada for more than two weeks. They shoot and wound him, but he gets away. They pursue, led by the dour Carver, who will pay them each $1 a day once he's captured. The hunted is Gideon, resourceful, skilled with a knife. Gideon's flight and Carver's hunt require horses, water, and bullets. The course takes them past lone settlers, a wagon train, a rail crew, settlements, and an Indian philosopher. What is the reason for the hunt; what connects Gideon and Carver? What happened at Seraphim Falls?

Quotes:

Carver: Son, nobody can protect nobody in this world. The sooner you realize that, the better.

Hayes: Reckon we ought to camp somewheres else?::Carver: Afraid the word of God will spoil your digestion?::Hayes: I never was much for scripture.::Carver: Nothing to fear, Mr. Hayes. Them's just words. Ain't no God out here.

[first lines]::Hayes: Well, we definitely got I'm. I wouldn't say gut shot, but got 'im pretty good.::Pope: He didn't even take his rifle. Horse run off though.::Hayes: It's cleared up some. Why don't we get a move on.::Carver: Let him bleed...

Virgil: How do you write "wife"?::Hayes: Kid, that's W-H-O-R-E. Don't much matter how you spell it, a woman ain't gonna be yours unless you're paying her for the night. You pay her to be sweet to you, kid, that's all. Don't never mix up money and love.

Gideon: [looks at emptied money pouch] No wonder you don't talk much. Too busy thieving.

Madame Louise Fair: You men, you always choosing a gun over a remedy.

Gideon: Why are you doing this?::Carver: Seraphim Falls.::Carver: If you kill this son of a bitch, it will not be paid. Extremities only!

The Kid: He must be part Indian or wolf. Eat a man like that.::Hayes: He didn't eat him. Go.

Gideon: Your sister, she don't take kindly to thieving. There's plenty of time for that when you grow up.

Virgil: Afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to stop walking.::Gideon: Let me be, boy. Best just go on back up to your kin.::Virgil: Mister, I never shot nobody in the back before. So it's best you just turn around, and you get what's coming to you.::Gideon: Boy, now you put that gun up and go on.::Virgil: Turn around.::Gideon: [turns and throws knife into Virgils' neck. Virgil falls off his horse. Gideon bends down and pulls out the knife] You're a fool, boy.
