Recap / The Terror S 1 E 2 Gore

In June 1847, after a winter stranded in the ice, Erebus and Terror remain stuck. Sir John sends out parties to find leads (open water passages) through the ice. The party that treks east finds nothing, but the party heading to the west travels into dangerous territory and accidentally shoots an Inuit man, mistaking him for a polar bear. As the men scramble to rescue the Inuit man, a massive, unseen creature kills their lieutenant, Graham Gore. The surviving men from the expedition to the west return with the wounded Inuit man and his companion, an Inuit woman. The man is a powerful shaman and she is his daughter, and he tells her in their own language that he is dying and that after his death she must control the "Tuunbaq." After the Inuit man dies of his wounds, the British apologize to the woman, whom they call "Lady Silence" because she refuses to speak to them, for killing him.
