Mosquito Coast The

en
00:02:19 My father was an inventor.
00:02:22 A genius with anything mechanical.
00:02:28 He dropped out of Harvard
00:02:32 I grew up with the belief...
00:02:34 ... that the world belonged to him
00:02:38 Look around you.
00:02:41 Land of promise. Land of opportunity.
00:02:44 "Give us the wretched refuse
00:02:48 Have a Coke! Watch TV.
00:02:50 Have a nice day.
00:02:51 Go on welfare.
00:02:54 Get free money.
00:02:56 Turn to crime. Crime pays in this country.
00:03:03 Why do they put up with it?
00:03:07 Look around you, Charlie.
00:03:09 This place is a toilet.
00:03:16 The whole damn country is turning
00:03:20 ...ulcerated danger zone
00:03:23 ...criminal millionaires and moral sneaks.
00:03:26 Nobody ever thinks
00:03:28 I think about it every day.
00:03:31 I'm the last man.
00:03:34 I want an 8-foot length of rubber seal
00:03:40 This country's going to the dogs.
00:03:44 Nobody cares.
00:03:47 "I just work here." That's the attitude.
00:03:50 Buy junk, sell junk, eat junk.
00:03:53 $3.99.
00:03:55 - Don't want it.
00:03:58 Who are you working for? The Japanese?
00:04:01 - If you don't want it, just say so.
00:04:04 Look. Made in Japan.
00:04:06 ...American dollars converted into yen.
00:04:11 Do you work here?
00:04:14 All right, we'll get it someplace else.
00:04:17 Good-bye.
00:04:21 Or maybe I should have said, "Sayonara!"
00:04:27 I tell you, Charlie, I'm not goin' back
00:04:32 I'm sick of dealing with people
00:04:36 Things they see on TV.
00:04:38 They talk about nuclear destruction
00:04:48 All winter, Father had been saying,
00:04:52 "It's coming," he said.
00:04:56 He said the signs were everywhere.
00:04:59 ... the gut worry, and the stupidity
00:05:03 Bloody crimes were being committed
00:05:05 ... and the criminals were unpunished.
00:05:07 It wasn't going to be
00:05:10 ... but rather a war in which no side
00:05:19 It's like a human's insides.
00:05:23 Entrails and vitals.
00:05:26 See, that's his digestive system.
00:05:29 Circulatory system.
00:05:31 Respiration. Lungs.
00:05:34 Fatty tissue. Kidneys.
00:05:37 The ammonia?
00:05:39 That's his plasma.
00:05:42 Got it?
00:05:44 But, Dad...
00:05:47 ...what is it?
00:05:48 It's perfection. That's what it is.
00:06:01 Where is he, Mrs. Fox?
00:06:04 Mrs. Fox!
00:06:10 He's not here right now, Mr. Polski.
00:06:13 He had to go to Hatfield
00:06:18 I can see his truck, Mrs. Fox.
00:06:20 He's there fooling about in his workshop...
00:06:22 ... when he should be rigging up
00:06:25 I have asparagus rotting all over the place.
00:06:27 Now, you tell him to get down here
00:06:32 He was pretty mad.
00:06:35 Forget that. I got something much better
00:06:38 Honey, he's gonna love it.
00:06:41 I'm gonna straighten his hair.
00:07:00 Where you been?
00:07:04 About half a glass of water.
00:07:08 What is this?
00:07:10 Got a match, Doc?
00:07:11 You get here late, the asparagus is rotting,
00:07:16 If it wouldn't be too much trouble.
00:07:22 Mr. Fox.
00:07:25 Jerry, what's he doing?
00:07:28 I don't know.
00:07:35 Now he cooks a glass of water.
00:07:37 What is this thing? It looks like a stove.
00:07:39 My baby.
00:07:42 It's my baby boy.
00:07:49 Fat Boy. That's what we'll call it. Fat Boy.
00:07:52 - This is foolishness!
00:07:55 Please, I've got work to do.
00:08:07 Come on, Doc! Take a look.
00:08:19 Boy, ain't that something?
00:08:20 But how did I do it? Where's the juice?
00:08:23 Where's the electrical cord?
00:08:26 Kerosene.
00:08:27 I made ice out of fire.
00:08:30 Yes. So it seems.
00:08:31 Wanna see how it works?
00:08:33 No, no! Some other time. Here.
00:08:36 This is just a scale model.
00:08:38 I'm planning on building you
00:08:43 What I think is...
00:08:44 ...l'm in the asparagus business,
00:08:47 You're missin' the point, Doc.
00:08:49 I can preserve the excess
00:08:52 - With that thing? It's too small.
00:08:55 And it's ingenious, Mr. Fox.
00:08:58 But I also hired you to do
00:09:02 To come up with a simple,
00:09:05 ...and not fool around with crazy schemes
00:09:08 ...inventing contraptions!
00:09:12 Now, please, to work!
00:09:14 What's this? It's not a rest period!
00:09:17 Close that door. We'll lose all the cold.
00:09:20 He didn't like it very much, Dad.
00:09:23 He hated it. Positively hated it.
00:09:27 Absolute contempt.
00:09:30 But I'm glad of that.
00:09:32 That's what really gets me cookin'.
00:09:35 Then I really would've been worried.
00:09:50 What do you know?
00:09:53 All right. Here you go.
00:10:07 Migrant workers.
00:10:10 Polski's peons.
00:10:12 Right out of the jungle.
00:10:17 They think this is a paradise.
00:10:22 You know what they got down there?
00:10:25 All the juice they need 5,000 feet
00:10:29 It's the earth's bellybutton.
00:10:36 Imagine the problems they have
00:10:42 If they saw an ice cube
00:10:46 ...a diamond, or a jewel of some kind.
00:10:51 Ice...
00:10:53 ...is civilization.
00:11:00 I want to show you boys something.
00:11:31 They call this place the "Monkey House."
00:11:33 - Who calls it that?
00:11:35 I'd whale the tar out of 'em.
00:11:38 Look at this place. These are poor people.
00:11:42 Look at what they eat. They don't even eat
00:11:45 I don't think we should be here.
00:11:47 They welcome visitors, Son.
00:11:50 It's a custom from the jungle.
00:11:52 "Be kind to strangers. Never know
00:11:55 That's the law of the jungle.
00:11:58 But this isn't the jungle, Dad.
00:12:00 No? No, because no jungle
00:12:05 They trade green trees for this ruin.
00:12:09 And it makes me mad...
00:12:11 ...because they're going to end up
00:12:25 It would take courage to go there.
00:12:29 Go where?
00:12:32 The jungle.
00:12:35 Not ordinary gumption...
00:12:39 ...but 4:00 in the morning courage.
00:12:44 And who's got that?
00:12:51 Thanks.
00:13:12 What is it?
00:13:14 I think something's going to happen.
00:13:17 Like what?
00:13:20 Something terrible.
00:13:26 When you're young, the world seems like
00:13:30 If you think about it too much,
00:13:33 But Dad's not young and he's worried.
00:13:37 He's always like that
00:13:40 You know him. He's got a lot on his mind.
00:13:44 But something is going to happen.
00:13:46 Something good.
00:13:53 - Good night.
00:14:03 - Hey, boys!
00:14:05 - Come here and give me a hand!
00:14:08 I got somethin' for ya.
00:14:10 - Is that right?
00:14:14 I need four men, two on each side.
00:14:16 Cornelius, grab that thing
00:14:22 We're not allowed to go in.
00:14:24 What's going on in there?
00:14:26 Beats me.
00:14:54 We're not allowed to go in!
00:14:57 - Little Charlie's here!
00:15:00 He my father, too. We all his children.
00:15:04 Charlie, come here.
00:15:08 Take this and give it to Polski.
00:15:09 I'll take it, Dad. I'm dressed.
00:15:12 Charlie's the oldest. I want him to do it.
00:15:16 This is a historic occasion.
00:15:22 Sit down. Sit down there.
00:15:27 "Ever heard of the Mosquito Coast?
00:15:30 "I hope not because that's the reason
00:15:33 "See, I'm not only quitting this job
00:15:39 "Good luck, Doc! You'll need it."
00:15:48 Charlie, your father is the worst kind
00:15:51 A know-it-all who's sometimes right.
00:15:54 I've come to see he's a dangerous man.
00:15:57 Tell him he's a dangerous man!
00:15:59 And one of these days,
00:16:06 Daddy, you take a picture of me.
00:16:07 Don't waste film.
00:16:09 - Leave those.
00:16:11 - Leave them. We're getting out of here!
00:16:15 Mother! Come on.
00:16:16 - But what about all our books and things?
00:16:21 - Where are we going?
00:16:23 No. Put the bags in the back of the truck.
00:16:25 April, come on!
00:16:29 No, your mother's gonna ride up there.
00:16:33 - Hurry up, Mom!
00:16:36 Girls, in the back.
00:16:37 - Can I ride in the back here?
00:16:40 "Under the bam
00:16:43 "Under the bamboo tree
00:16:46 "Two live as one
00:16:48 "One lives as two
00:16:49 "Two live as three
00:16:51 "Under the bam
00:16:53 "Under the bamboo tree"
00:17:09 Good-bye, America! And have a nice day!
00:17:24 - I'm Reverend Gurney Spellgood.
00:17:28 - You can call me Gurney.
00:17:30 Jerry, sit down.
00:17:32 Mrs. Fox, I'm Captain Smalls.
00:17:36 The sea around us. The earth beneath.
00:17:40 This night commit this food to thy keep.
00:17:45 Jeedoof.
00:17:46 - Amen.
00:17:49 We don't say prayers at home.
00:17:55 Captain first, Reverend.
00:17:58 "The last shall be first."
00:17:59 - No, "some."
00:18:01 "Some of the last who will be first and
00:18:06 I was quoting Matthew.
00:18:08 You were misquoting Matthew.
00:18:12 You certainly understand my mission,
00:18:15 And a pretty good knowledge
00:18:19 I've tinkered a bit with the Bible.
00:18:22 Except it doesn't work.
00:18:27 So, this is your first visit to Mosquitia?
00:18:31 Actually it's more than a visit.
00:18:36 Stay there?
00:18:38 Why would you want to?
00:18:40 That whole country's back
00:18:42 Sounds perfect.
00:18:49 Mr. Fox!
00:18:51 There you are. I've got a gift for you.
00:18:54 It's the latest. The Blue Jeans Bible.
00:19:01 It was designed by a psychologist.
00:19:04 Look at this, kids. It's just what I've been
00:19:08 "Of making many books there is no end.
00:19:13 Ecclesiastes.
00:19:15 "There are many rooms in
00:19:21 Don't slam it on the way out.
00:19:26 May God forgive you.
00:19:28 Have a nice day.
00:19:30 Thank you. I will, Brother!
00:19:49 Hi.
00:19:52 It's a whole lot hotter than this
00:19:57 - You've never been there, have you?
00:20:04 We're from Baltimore.
00:20:06 I study communication in school.
00:20:09 I hate school. It's so boring.
00:20:15 What's your favorite band?
00:20:17 Mine's The Executioners.
00:20:21 He reminds me of James Dean.
00:20:23 Your father's a missionary.
00:20:26 Yes, we do.
00:20:27 My father has two churches. One's in
00:20:31 It's a drive-in.
00:20:33 What kind of drive-in?
00:20:37 There's only one kind.
00:20:42 Gosh, you're stupid.
00:20:48 So, what's your old man do?
00:20:53 My father's an inventor.
00:20:56 He invented this mechanical mop.
00:21:00 It works by itself. You have to see it.
00:21:02 Weird.
00:21:04 My father's a genius.
00:21:11 Charlie.
00:21:14 Do you have a girlfriend?
00:21:17 No.
00:21:20 I could be your girlfriend, if you want.
00:21:25 I think about you
00:22:03 Come here, honey.
00:22:07 "He's all right
00:22:12 "He's all right
00:22:16 "He's all right..."
00:22:20 Where's my bag?
00:22:21 Honey, look at this place! It's beautiful!
00:22:26 - Everybody ready?
00:22:29 I think about you
00:22:34 Jeedoof!
00:22:37 Jeedoof!
00:22:38 - Amen!
00:22:40 All right, Mother,
00:22:43 Come on, kids, let's go.
00:22:46 Let's go!
00:22:55 Look at him, Charlie.
00:22:59 Happy hunting, Reverend.
00:23:01 Thank you very much, Mr. Fox,
00:23:19 - Look at all the boats.
00:23:21 Hey, sweet peas, come to Papa.
00:24:30 The twins are asleep.
00:24:32 Tell her, Charlie.
00:24:33 - Dad bought a town.
00:24:35 - Drunken German.
00:24:37 Not before he signed this.
00:24:39 You're looking at the new mayor
00:24:41 - You bought a town?
00:24:46 Where is it?
00:24:52 Jeronimo? Launches can't go up there.
00:24:57 Well, Mr. Haddy,
00:25:02 Experiment? Why you want to go
00:25:05 We've bought it.
00:25:06 Ran out of room in America, Mr. Haddy.
00:25:10 Here, let me take the wheel.
00:25:14 It's against regulations.
00:25:17 - What regulations?
00:25:20 I steer. You passenger.
00:25:36 - Experiment.
00:25:38 There is no channel here.
00:25:40 Don't give up, Haddy. Right?
00:25:45 Stay back!
00:25:47 Stay back! No channel.
00:25:49 Keep looking.
00:25:52 Oh, my God. Mr. Haddy!
00:25:54 - You all right?
00:25:58 All right.
00:26:00 Can you get in all right?
00:26:27 "I don't own a VCR
00:26:31 "And I got no color TV"
00:27:28 Hello!
00:27:32 Them Zambus.
00:27:34 Ask him where we are, Haddy.
00:27:36 It's Jeronimo.
00:27:37 This is it. Jeronimo!
00:27:39 Where?
00:27:40 Stay back there.
00:27:41 Give me room, Son.
00:27:50 - Can we help you?
00:27:53 - Shall I get the luggage?
00:27:55 Now, don't run, boys.
00:27:57 Jerry, help me with this.
00:27:59 Careful, girls.
00:28:01 - Can we take our bags?
00:28:10 - Can you see the town yet, Allie?
00:28:14 Perfect. It's perfect.
00:28:18 Everything we need is here. Right here.
00:28:24 Yes, yes.
00:28:28 Starting from scratch.
00:28:33 This is what I've always dreamed about.
00:28:37 Don't look at me that way, Mother.
00:28:40 This is life. This is not a vacation.
00:28:46 Can you see it, Charlie?
00:28:48 No, Dad.
00:28:50 Can you see it, Mother?
00:28:52 See what, Allie?
00:28:54 Why, a beautiful house.
00:28:57 Me no see no house.
00:29:01 This will do for the kitchen.
00:29:05 Tie it all together with a platform
00:29:09 It's like the hub of a wheel
00:29:13 I smell a bit of a swamp back there.
00:29:16 Put a plant there, pump up river water
00:29:19 Slash and burn the area.
00:29:20 We have four or five acres
00:29:23 Boy, have we got some work to do.
00:29:34 I don't want to hit you.
00:29:36 Perhaps if I hit them...
00:29:39 ...and you take them out.
00:29:41 - Let me hold.
00:29:50 Okay, take that away, will you?
00:29:55 Dad, there's a big pile of cut wood here.
00:29:58 - Wood or lumber?
00:30:00 Look, girls, look. Come and have a look.
00:30:03 These are wonderful treasures.
00:30:07 Look at that. What a beauty.
00:30:17 Mother!
00:30:20 Where is she?
00:30:24 - It's all right, honey. It's all right.
00:30:29 - Some of them baboons bigger than man.
00:30:38 Oh, my God.
00:30:40 Look at you.
00:30:42 Look at me?
00:30:44 Look at you.
00:31:13 What's that?
00:31:18 I miss my old home in America.
00:31:20 Me, too.
00:31:24 We all do. Now, who wants some orange?
00:31:27 No, thanks.
00:31:31 Nobody loves America more than I do,
00:31:34 That's why we left,
00:31:39 You kids have got to understand this.
00:31:43 It's like when my mother died.
00:31:46 She'd been strong as an ox.
00:31:48 Fell down, broke her hip, went into
00:31:52 She's laying in bed dying
00:31:55 She looked up to me.
00:32:00 "Why don't you give me some rat poison?"
00:32:11 I couldn't listen. I couldn't watch,
00:32:14 People said I was the height of callousness.
00:32:20 It's not true.
00:32:22 I loved her too much to watch her die.
00:32:33 I'm not here to boss you around.
00:32:35 I'm here to work for you.
00:32:37 And if I'm not working hard enough,
00:32:42 You just come up and say:
00:32:43 "Mister, you gotta do
00:32:47 And I will.
00:32:49 What do you want to do first?
00:32:52 You tell me.
00:32:54 Fish farm? Chicken run? Bridge?
00:33:07 Right. I heard that.
00:33:09 You want to begin with the planting.
00:33:12 Take care of the animal needs first.
00:33:14 Come along, we've got it all worked out.
00:33:17 Go to your assigned row
00:33:20 ...you were told about earlier.
00:33:23 About this deep, this far apart.
00:33:25 Jerry, corn for you.
00:33:32 - How are you doing, Charlie?
00:33:34 Right now, someone in America
00:33:38 ...down a garbage disposal
00:33:40 Someone else is opening
00:33:43 ...because the car wouldn't start to eat out.
00:33:47 - That for true, Father?
00:33:53 That's why I came.
00:34:20 It was not an easy life
00:34:24 It was no coconut kingdom of free food
00:34:27 ... and sunny days "under the bam,
00:34:29 Watch the strings, kids.
00:34:31 Good morning, ladies. Let's get up.
00:34:35 Charlie, help your mother with the tent.
00:34:38 This was work and more work.
00:34:45 In Hatfield we had done pretty much
00:34:48 Here things were different.
00:34:55 Have you got some flooring up there?
00:34:58 Charlie's supposed to have the flooring
00:35:01 Let's get that lumber up here now.
00:35:16 It's an absolute sin to accept
00:35:19 Why do things get worse?
00:35:21 They don't have to. They could get better.
00:35:24 We accept that things fall apart,
00:35:26 Things will last forever.
00:35:28 We eat when we're not hungry,
00:35:31 We buy what we don't need
00:35:34 Why sell a man what he wants?
00:35:37 Pretend he has eight legs,
00:35:40 It's wrong. Wrong! Wrong!
00:35:42 There are people in New York
00:35:45 You don't dare take a walk for fear
00:35:49 Stay home and they come in
00:35:51 Ten-year-old homicidal maniacs
00:35:54 They go to school.
00:35:55 They go to school.
00:36:00 You know what the biggest problem
00:36:03 People can't stand to be alone.
00:36:07 Can't stand it.
00:36:19 Double-digit inflation
00:36:25 Good.
00:36:27 Great. You're going to be my fish farmer,
00:36:30 - I think about it.
00:36:32 We'll breed all the fish we need to eat
00:36:37 Just scoop 'em up and put 'em in the pot.
00:36:39 We gotta get this cleared up.
00:36:46 How am I doing, boy?
00:36:49 Fine, Dad.
00:37:10 Strictly speaking, there's no such thing
00:37:14 It's just magnifying what already exists.
00:37:18 Father often talked
00:37:22 That was true invention, he said.
00:37:24 Revealing something's use,
00:37:27 Discovering it's imperfections
00:37:30 ... and putting it to work for you.
00:37:34 God had left the world incomplete, he said.
00:37:37 And it was man'sjob to understand
00:37:40 To tinker with it and to finish it.
00:37:42 I think that was why
00:37:45 Because they taught people
00:37:49 For Father there were no burdens
00:37:52 ... with a set of wheels or runners
00:37:56 - Look what we found.
00:37:58 - What have you got, girls?
00:38:02 Yeah, I can get this going.
00:38:17 Don't just sit there, honey, pedal.
00:38:23 No need to worry about
00:38:27 This is the education they need.
00:38:31 This is the kind of education
00:38:35 When America's devastated
00:38:39 ...these are the skills
00:38:42 Not finger painting or home economics,
00:38:48 ...but survival!
00:38:51 Rebuilding a civilization
00:39:02 Experiment!
00:39:05 Hey, it's Mr. Haddy, Charlie!
00:39:07 Hey, kids. Good to see you!
00:39:10 How's everything?
00:39:22 They're going to be longer
00:39:27 - Hello, Mr. Peaselee.
00:39:34 Can I help you with something?
00:39:47 That is a nice yellow, isn't it?
00:39:49 I surely like this color.
00:40:00 Thank you.
00:40:14 Mr. Fox!
00:40:19 A very good morning to you.
00:40:22 Oh, God!
00:40:30 Well done, Foxes.
00:40:32 Well done.
00:40:35 Mrs. Kennywick...
00:40:37 ...is that you?
00:40:39 Yes, sir, Father.
00:40:41 Now, we haven't seen you in God's house
00:40:52 Jeedoof to you.
00:40:54 Jeedoof to you, Father.
00:40:59 What can we do for you, Reverend?
00:41:01 The word has spread upriver
00:41:03 I thought I'd come and have a look
00:41:06 Mrs. Fox. How nice to see you.
00:41:09 - Hello.
00:41:12 It's Arthur.
00:41:14 I brought some preserves from Aurora
00:41:19 Thank you. Will you thank her for me?
00:41:21 Papaya and yams, I believe.
00:41:25 - State your business, Reverend.
00:41:30 Is that so? I didn't know the Lord
00:41:35 The Reverend looks a little hot.
00:41:38 Mother.
00:41:39 The Lord sent me here, Mr. Fox.
00:41:42 That's what I love about you people,
00:41:48 The Lord hasn't any idea this place exits!
00:41:51 If he did, he'd have done something
00:41:54 But he didn't! I did!
00:41:56 The river doesn't belong to you.
00:41:58 Nor to you! But this place belongs to me...
00:42:00 ...and I didn't give you permission
00:42:04 This man cannot speak for you, good folk!
00:42:10 The Lord is your Father!
00:42:13 I'm a fair man!
00:42:15 If any of you wanna go listen to this man
00:42:19 ...I won't stop you! Any takers?
00:42:30 "And Pharaoh said...
00:42:34 "And Pharaoh said:
00:42:37 "'Who is the Lord
00:42:42 "'... and let you, Israel, go?
00:42:46 "'I know not the Lord...
00:42:49 "'... neither will I let Israel go!"'
00:42:55 Exodus 5.
00:42:56 Now, get off my land.
00:43:42 What Father had promised that first day
00:43:45 ... was now there for everyone to see.
00:43:48 It was all as he predicted...
00:43:49 ... but more orderly and happier
00:43:54 He called this notch in thejungle
00:43:58 "Just the way America might have been,"
00:44:42 When Mom and Dad come down,
00:44:45 "Happy Thanksgiving," okay?
00:44:47 Happy Thanksgiving!
00:44:49 - Dad, you look nice.
00:44:51 You look nice!
00:44:54 - You look funny.
00:44:57 - You look great, Mom!
00:44:59 Have a seat, madam.
00:45:04 - This chicken looks great.
00:45:07 You've made a wonderful meal.
00:45:15 Our first Thanksgiving in the new world.
00:45:21 - Let's eat!
00:45:23 - Can I have some white meat, Dad?
00:45:27 White, please. Thank you.
00:45:29 The green beans look good.
00:45:38 Good-bye, honey.
00:45:44 Good-bye, Dad.
00:45:46 - 'Bye, everybody!
00:45:48 Are you ready? Come on!
00:45:51 The sandwiches!
00:45:53 They're in the basket!
00:46:10 Come on.
00:46:17 Mr. Haddy, one time,
00:46:21 Let me lead the way. I know this jungle
00:46:27 Okay, I'll help you.
00:46:29 Swing!
00:46:53 "Silent night
00:46:55 "Holy night
00:46:58 "All is calm
00:47:01 "All is bright..."
00:47:04 We have to buy our food here
00:47:08 Gather them and we'll put 'em over here
00:47:11 Okay. Each one is $1.00 U.S.
00:47:15 - I want to buy some food.
00:47:19 Leon got none.
00:47:20 Start diggin'!
00:47:23 I'll be the schoolteacher!
00:47:26 - Let's ask Dad to help when he gets back.
00:47:29 Dad wouldn't understand.
00:47:35 Why?
00:47:36 'Cause it's our secret.
00:47:39 Your father can do magic.
00:47:41 It's not magic. It's science.
00:47:43 Science is worse!
00:47:45 You don't know that. My father could have
00:47:49 How come he ain't rich, then?
00:47:51 Because he wanted to come here
00:47:55 And he said there's gonna be
00:47:58 You're all wrong.
00:48:30 Father told everyone
00:48:33 "I'm Dr. Frankenstein," he used to say.
00:48:37 He called one set of pipes its "lungs"
00:48:42 And two tanks, "a pair of kidneys."
00:48:48 "He needs a gizzard today."
00:48:50 Or, "This will fit straight onto his liver."
00:48:52 Or, "How's this for his gullet?"
00:50:40 Here, Mama, here!
00:50:41 I want you by my side. There's history
00:50:44 Expedition photographers?
00:50:46 Jerry, you got the camera?
00:50:48 Francis, you're in position?
00:50:52 I want you to light Fat Boy.
00:50:54 You're the youngest. You'll live longest
00:50:57 Drainy? Mr. Maywit...
00:50:59 We're taking a picture.
00:51:01 Everybody in, Drainy? All righty, smile.
00:51:41 You're waking up.
00:52:13 This is no miracle.
00:52:20 I hope we don't have
00:52:25 It's all right. Allie knows what he's doing.
00:52:35 What that Father got there?
00:52:37 Haven't you ever seen a snowball before?
00:52:39 Ice from fire!
00:52:45 Francis!
00:52:47 That cold water, Father!
00:52:49 Bucky!
00:52:50 And air conditioning!
00:52:52 Cool down your house!
00:52:55 Increase productivity!
00:52:56 Ice is civilization!
00:52:58 That's why I'm here! That's why I came!
00:53:35 Okay, wait!
00:53:41 How many do you want?
00:53:42 Fat Boy looked like a miracle
00:53:46 And a kind of ice market was established.
00:53:48 Everything for free.
00:53:51 But Father was restless.
00:53:53 It was all too easy now...
00:53:55 ... and everyone was taking his ice
00:53:58 Then Francis told him
00:54:01 ... a half a day's march into the mountains.
00:54:03 People who had never seen missionaries
00:54:06 ... and they had certainly never seen ice.
00:54:09 These were the pure people
00:54:12 Friendly savages who would see his ice...
00:54:16 ... as ajewel, and be amazed.
00:54:19 Keep goin'.
00:54:22 Don't give up on me, boys.
00:54:41 Watch out!
00:54:51 Put it down if you have to! Put it down!
00:54:57 Okay, Charlie. Come up here.
00:55:00 Come on up!
00:55:04 Hold it! Hold it, Francis.
00:55:11 Okay, get out of the way.
00:55:14 Don't get your legs underneath it.
00:55:25 Come on, Jerry!
00:55:43 Just over this ridge. It's all downhill.
00:55:50 What's the matter with you guys?
00:55:52 - We'll have to go home in the dark.
00:55:55 We're not going anywhere
00:56:28 All right, we'll camp here. Put it down.
00:56:41 So, where are we gonna sleep?
00:56:43 Right over there.
00:56:46 Across the street. At the Holiday Inn!
00:56:49 You two kids can lounge by the pool
00:56:53 You want a king-size bed, don't you?
00:56:56 I sure hope there's a color TV.
00:56:59 Want a roll of quarters, Jerry,
00:57:05 I'm so sick of this whining from you!
00:57:20 Come on, Jerry. It's all right.
00:57:22 There goes Charlie to get a Fudgesicle.
00:57:24 Careful crossing the road.
00:57:26 I'm looking for some wood
00:57:29 Hear that? Charlie's gonna show us
00:57:33 Charlie know how.
00:57:55 Put out the fire. You're melting my ice.
00:58:26 What are you looking at?
00:58:30 This is the first time since creation
00:58:35 Think about that.
00:59:01 Come on!
00:59:10 Charlie, give me the bag.
00:59:13 I brought for you, present.
00:59:16 Present. Move slowly.
00:59:19 We're the first white men they've seen.
00:59:22 Don't do anything to scare 'em.
00:59:25 Present.
00:59:26 Wonderful, mysterious present.
00:59:31 Come here. Come, look. Look.
00:59:38 Look.
00:59:41 Wait till you see this.
00:59:43 Have a little patience.
00:59:53 I don't believe this.
00:59:59 This was ice.
01:00:00 Go away.
01:00:04 Have you got any idea how hard it is
01:00:07 Go away.
01:00:08 We go, Father.
01:00:11 Don't blame me.
01:00:13 Have you ever seen ice?
01:00:16 Dad. There's a white man.
01:00:19 There's a white man in there.
01:00:22 Watch me. Watch my back.
01:00:24 Nice place you got here. Nice.
01:00:27 Living close to nature. I like that.
01:00:30 I like that.
01:00:38 My dad's an inventor,
01:00:41 ...this big ice machine and it makes ice.
01:00:44 Yeah, big pieces. Keeps it cool.
01:00:47 Ice can be used for a number of things.
01:00:50 Cool your water.
01:00:51 No, it'll keep your food from rotting.
01:00:55 - It's really cooling.
01:01:00 Ice is civilization.
01:01:02 That's why he came
01:01:08 Wonderful being here.
01:01:10 We'll be back. Come on, guys.
01:01:13 We'll bring you some ice!
01:01:15 - Gracias.
01:01:17 - Gracias.
01:01:22 Thank you.
01:01:24 'Bye.
01:01:28 Don't stop. Don't stop.
01:01:30 What were they doing?
01:01:31 Captured. Three guys, prisoners.
01:01:34 I offered to help spring 'em
01:01:36 I told 'em to follow our trail to Jeronimo.
01:02:04 What is it, Dad?
01:02:10 - I'm so glad you're back.
01:02:13 Ma Kennywick and the others
01:02:15 - What happened?
01:02:18 Spellgood was raving.
01:02:21 - They were so frightened.
01:02:24 - They said we were communist.
01:02:27 Very glad you're here, Father.
01:02:29 It's just jealousy and envy.
01:02:32 ...come along and want to take it
01:02:46 Who do that?
01:03:23 What? What, Francis?
01:03:27 - Men.
01:03:30 - Ruckboos, Ruckboos.
01:03:33 Calmly, Francis.
01:03:35 Three Ruckboos. Ruckboos. Three...
01:03:38 - Dad, what's wrong?
01:03:41 Three! Three men. Guns.
01:03:43 I don't see anybody, Francis.
01:03:45 I must have drop these. Easy this time.
01:03:47 Three Ruckboos here.
01:03:49 Allie!
01:04:15 We didn't think we'd find you.
01:04:18 Where are your Zambus?
01:04:19 Gone. Saw your guns
01:04:23 I didn't get a chance to tell them
01:04:26 Probably dipping their arrows in poison
01:04:30 Right.
01:04:33 Where are you going?
01:04:36 The coast is only a day from here.
01:04:40 I'll make you a map.
01:04:42 You can take the cayuka
01:04:44 Take it, it's yours. You'd like it there.
01:04:48 We like it here.
01:04:52 I wish there was some place for you
01:04:56 ...infested with ants.
01:05:00 They're in everything. We've gotta...
01:05:04 ...tear everything down, burn it.
01:05:08 Charlie!
01:05:10 I told you to take Maywit's shack down.
01:05:12 Get a crowbar and get...
01:05:18 Take it down and stack it for burning.
01:05:24 I don't see any ants.
01:05:26 No, of course you don't.
01:05:33 I've got a lot of work to do
01:05:36 We'll look around.
01:05:39 No, take the cayuka. It's yours.
01:05:43 We'll look around.
01:05:52 Right, look around.
01:05:56 Look around all you want.
01:06:13 Me no see no ants, Father.
01:06:23 When I make a mistake, I make a good one.
01:06:28 I thought they were prisoners
01:06:46 Are you gentlemen comfortable?
01:06:48 I mean, the reason I ask is,
01:06:52 ...but I'm going to have to ask you
01:06:55 You see, war on the ants! Total war.
01:06:58 Charlie, bring up the chain saw.
01:07:01 Mother, all these pads and things.
01:07:07 Get all the fabric up.
01:07:08 Get all this furniture. Excuse me.
01:07:13 Take this stuff off. All the furniture.
01:07:16 Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:07:21 Move outta here.
01:07:24 Get the crowbar.
01:07:33 - Do we have to burn every chair, Mom?
01:07:36 - Do we burn Ma Kennywick's chair, too?
01:07:41 - She'll be very mad.
01:07:46 Everything's gotta go.
01:07:50 Better not let Ma know.
01:07:52 Okay for all these things here?
01:07:55 I can't see them. Maybe they've gone.
01:08:46 They want some food.
01:08:48 Oh, God, are we stuck with them?
01:08:52 Stuck with them?
01:08:55 We're not stuck with anyone.
01:08:57 No one who has the slightest spark...
01:09:01 ...has to endure a moment's oppression
01:09:04 What are we gonna do?
01:09:42 Why do we have to sleep here
01:09:46 Because we've got guests tonight.
01:09:48 Now, you sleep tight, all right,
01:09:54 Night-night.
01:10:00 Excuse me.
01:10:29 Right, gentlemen.
01:10:31 Bunkhouse is ready.
01:10:33 Get your stuff together and we'll go.
01:10:36 What bunkhouse?
01:10:43 Well, it's not much.
01:10:47 Just the basic necessities.
01:10:52 But I'm sure you'll be comfortable.
01:10:58 Breakfast, 7:00 a.m.
01:11:54 I can't do this alone.
01:11:57 Get your shoes and follow me.
01:12:37 They're sleeping. You've got to climb up
01:12:41 ...through the brackets on the access door.
01:12:45 You gotta be very, very quiet.
01:12:48 Can you do it?
01:12:52 I guess so.
01:12:54 You gotta be more sure than that.
01:12:59 Can you do it?
01:13:03 Yeah, I can do it.
01:13:17 All right?
01:15:21 Don't pity those men, Charlie.
01:15:26 Don't pity this insect. That's not his blood.
01:15:30 That's my blood.
01:15:54 I gave them every chance to leave.
01:15:59 They won't feel a thing.
01:16:02 In a few moments they'll be frozen solid.
01:16:11 Why are you making ice this time of night?
01:16:15 Quiet down, Haddy!
01:16:17 - What is it, Mom?
01:16:22 They should lay down.
01:16:29 No.
01:16:49 Mother!
01:16:50 Get back inside! Back!
01:16:57 - Behind the tree!
01:17:54 Gas!
01:17:55 Gas!
01:17:56 Run!
01:18:47 I'm so sorry.
01:18:50 I'm happy. We're free!
01:20:13 My launch!
01:20:21 Little Haddy.
01:20:24 She was all I had in the world.
01:20:28 What good is a boat without a river?
01:20:30 The river is there, Father.
01:20:35 It's full of ammonium hydroxide.
01:20:40 If we stay here, we die.
01:21:22 Look, we're here!
01:21:23 - Look, the ocean!
01:21:39 I'm going in! I'll race you, Jerry.
01:21:42 Wait for me, Charlie.
01:21:56 Let's go!
01:22:04 My home, that way!
01:22:06 United States, that way!
01:22:08 Let's go home! Let's go home!
01:22:14 Let's go home! Let's go home!
01:22:16 Clover, Apri! Let's go home.
01:22:19 We can go home!
01:22:32 Everything we need is here!
01:22:34 Right here! We can live simply.
01:22:38 Gardening, fishing...
01:22:41 ...beach combing.
01:22:42 I'm a changed man, Mother.
01:22:46 If what you want isn't washed up
01:22:59 We could take that pipanto
01:23:04 We could walk down the beach to Panama.
01:23:08 Or we could walk up the beach
01:23:11 Yeah! Let's go to Cape Cod!
01:23:17 Can we go, Dad?
01:23:18 No! No!
01:23:22 We cannot go back!
01:23:28 Why?
01:23:33 Because it's not there anymore.
01:23:35 America's not there anymore.
01:23:38 What are you talking about?
01:23:40 A cataclysm. A blinding flash.
01:23:44 No, darling, that was Jeronimo.
01:23:47 No, no. I'm talking about
01:23:53 Millions of Americans burned to a crisp.
01:23:57 The flesh just melted off their bones.
01:24:03 Why are you doing this to us?
01:24:05 I'm not doing anything.
01:24:08 Is America really blown away?
01:24:10 Did they have a nuclear war up there?
01:24:18 Mom.
01:24:20 No. It's all right, darlings. He's just joking.
01:24:23 It's just a joke.
01:24:25 Some joke.
01:24:43 Me can't take your Omega, Father.
01:24:46 I got no use for it anymore.
01:24:53 You take it.
01:24:58 Experience!
01:25:01 But you'd like my place,
01:25:05 They're my family.
01:25:08 No, Haddy.
01:25:11 If it's on a map, I can't use it.
01:25:19 I knew Father had lied to us
01:25:24 That lie made me feel lonelier
01:25:30 I wanted to take hold of him...
01:25:32 ... to tell him I loved him and would stay
01:25:36 ... if only he would take back the lie.
01:25:46 Mom, how long are we gonna be here?
01:25:54 Has Hatfield and Mr. Polski
01:25:58 ...been blown up?
01:26:03 If it has, then we're the luckiest people
01:26:09 What if it hasn't?
01:26:11 Then we're making a terrible mistake.
01:26:24 Somehow, we found what we needed.
01:26:27 We built a latrine and a hut
01:26:31 Father's hut was like a small barge.
01:26:36 ... tarring its cracks to seal it
01:26:40 He found an old outboard
01:26:43 ... cleaning it piece by piece.
01:26:47 Father was fond of saying that in the end,
01:26:53 But we were staying.
01:27:28 It's Mr. Haddy.
01:27:31 Greetings.
01:27:33 Hi, how are you?
01:27:35 Hello, baby, hello.
01:27:36 Haddy, what a surprise.
01:27:40 This is a very different kind of experiment.
01:27:44 It doesn't look like much
01:27:46 ...we have great plans. You know Allie.
01:27:49 I bring you some turtle meat
01:27:52 Why? Do I look hungry?
01:28:00 Thanks a lot, Haddy.
01:28:05 That motor don't have no sparks.
01:28:07 I bring you some sparkin' gas
01:28:11 Don't want it.
01:28:14 How is that?
01:28:15 Because I don't need your charity.
01:28:23 You're too close to the water.
01:28:24 It's over there.
01:28:26 Gonna be up here when rain come.
01:28:28 We gonna get some storm.
01:28:34 Who made that trash pile?
01:28:40 Tell us how you lost your watch.
01:28:42 I swapped it for my new boat.
01:28:46 No.
01:28:48 I call her Omega like the watch.
01:28:51 She is a pretty thing.
01:28:54 I had that watch 15 years.
01:28:58 It's 3:00, 3:30.
01:29:01 You just gave it away.
01:29:02 I thought you approved
01:29:05 Haddy, can't you see?
01:29:13 You're in trouble here, Father.
01:29:15 Rain gonna wash the experiment
01:29:19 Ma and the kids could come to Brewer's.
01:29:23 Good for the family there.
01:29:27 He's telling me it's too dangerous here.
01:29:30 This savage is telling me...
01:29:32 Don't talk to Mr. Haddy like that.
01:29:36 We live here. Get that?
01:29:38 This is a pioneering effort.
01:29:41 I want to go with Mr. Haddy.
01:29:44 What?
01:29:46 Speak up, Jerry.
01:29:48 I said I wanted to go with Mr. Haddy.
01:29:51 Okay, fine. Drop what you're doing,
01:29:56 But don't come back. Ever.
01:29:59 Never. That's policy.
01:30:04 See what you've gone and done?
01:30:06 Good.
01:30:08 You've got no vision, have you?
01:30:11 You can't see. This is gonna be
01:30:15 ...living in harmony with nature.
01:30:18 And anyone without vision
01:30:22 Anyone.
01:30:31 He didn't mean it.
01:30:33 I hate him. I wish he was dead.
01:31:07 Haddy.
01:31:08 You won't tell Father I come.
01:31:13 Sparks and gas for Father's outboard.
01:31:16 What will I tell him?
01:31:17 Tell him you found 'em.
01:31:21 You gonna drown without the outboard.
01:31:24 There gonna be water everywhere.
01:31:30 God be with you.
01:32:16 Charlie, latch the twins to the frame.
01:32:21 Oh, my God!
01:32:26 Don't worry, Mother. It'll float!
01:32:29 Get back inside! I'll get a line to the shore.
01:32:32 - Get inside!
01:32:42 Hold on!
01:32:44 Hold on to me!
01:32:46 Everybody hold together!
01:33:00 Hold on!
01:33:23 We're floating out to sea!
01:33:29 Oh, God!
01:33:51 I found them last week.
01:34:00 I've got control!
01:34:01 Haddy's.
01:34:03 We could go downstream to Haddy's.
01:34:06 No! Dead things go downstream, Mother.
01:34:09 Life is upstream!
01:35:08 Mother, don't give 'em too much coconut.
01:35:11 Light rations.
01:35:15 Don't know when we'll eat next.
01:35:28 Damn it.
01:35:29 Shear pin's gone.
01:35:32 Come here with your poles.
01:35:37 Hold it where we are!
01:35:59 Where is he?
01:36:02 He's been down a long time.
01:36:14 - He's gone.
01:36:18 He's somewhere.
01:36:23 Dad, come on.
01:36:27 Well, I don't see him.
01:36:33 Dad!
01:36:35 Where are you, Dad?
01:36:39 I can't stand this!
01:36:44 We'll be all right. We'll be all right.
01:36:50 We'll be all right.
01:36:56 We can go downstream
01:36:59 Jerry's right. Let's go! Let's turn around.
01:37:01 Right, let's get outta here!
01:37:04 Traitors.
01:37:20 As punishment, Jerry and I were towed
01:37:25 Father sat at the end of the towline,
01:37:28 I hated his shoulders, his greasy hair,
01:37:34 I imagined how it would be to stick a knife
01:37:41 Yes, it's punishment.
01:37:46 No, it's not. Now you bring those children
01:37:50 Are you in charge now, Mother?
01:37:54 Can you survive in this jungle?
01:37:58 - If so, where would you go?
01:38:01 And live like a savage?
01:38:05 I'd really rather die.
01:38:09 There's no shame to be the last to go.
01:38:17 I'm doing this for all of us.
01:38:19 I'm doing this for you.
01:38:35 I wish I could kill him.
01:38:38 He wouldn't be so hard to kill.
01:38:41 Be quiet!
01:38:42 Stop talking like that.
01:38:44 You're thinking it, too.
01:38:46 No, I'm not!
01:38:48 You can just stop talking like that.
01:38:53 I wish he were dead!
01:38:55 Be quiet, okay?
01:39:03 Just be quiet.
01:39:08 I'm sorry.
01:39:33 Beautiful country, eh, Mother?
01:39:35 We could live anywhere around here.
01:39:40 I know what you're thinking.
01:40:29 Are those angels, Mommy?
01:40:45 "Blessed Jesus
01:40:50 "Blessed Jesus
01:40:57 "Thou has God as thy reward"
01:41:05 They're missionaries! They could help us.
01:41:10 We don't need help!
01:41:12 Look at us!
01:41:18 Well done, choir! Well done!
01:41:22 Welcome in Jeedoof.
01:41:25 Spellgood.
01:41:26 We'll see about this!
01:41:41 What will you do?
01:41:42 I'm gonna knock his block off!
01:41:49 Look!
01:41:50 Barbed wire.
01:41:59 They have a backboard!
01:42:02 They have real houses.
01:42:05 Look at these toys!
01:42:08 ... you could be here today.
01:42:11 Now, brothers and sisters...
01:42:16 ... we all know the story of Gideon...
01:42:20 ... how in his hour of darkness...
01:42:23 ... he called upon God...
01:42:25 ... to help spite his enemies.
01:42:29 Then, he blew his trumpet...
01:42:37 ... and...
01:42:42 ... that was that!
01:42:45 He called on God.
01:42:48 Just as simple as making a telephone call.
01:42:54 Now, I want you...
01:42:57 ... to think of prayer as beingjust as simple
01:43:10 Hello?
01:43:11 God? It's Gurney.
01:43:14 I was calling you because...
01:43:16 Hello?
01:43:17 Look at them. The Maywits.
01:43:22 - Sometimes...
01:43:24 ... the line is cut.
01:43:28 What do you do when the line is cut?
01:43:33 You ring again!
01:43:38 God? It's me again.
01:43:43 Now, I do have a little problem.
01:43:46 I know you're very busy...
01:43:49 Back to the boat.
01:44:09 Hey, kids. Okay, settle down!
01:44:13 I want to watch TV.
01:45:16 Emily!
01:45:18 It's me, Charlie Fox and Jerry.
01:45:22 What are you doing here?
01:45:27 We're goin' upriver.
01:45:28 This is weird. My dad said you were
01:45:32 ...and running around nude-o
01:45:38 What happened to you?
01:45:42 You got smaller.
01:45:44 Your hair's gross.
01:45:47 Is America okay?
01:45:50 Baltimore's freaky now.
01:45:55 Was there a war?
01:45:56 Are you nuts or something?
01:45:58 My father said America was blown up.
01:46:02 That's stupid.
01:46:04 It all went up in flames.
01:46:08 I thought my dad was weird.
01:46:10 - He was lying to us all the time!
01:46:14 It's the generator. It happens all the time.
01:46:17 Come here.
01:46:18 Generator!
01:46:22 It's okay. It's all right. It's okay.
01:46:30 It's okay, really.
01:46:34 Emily, we're in trouble.
01:46:41 Will you help us?
01:46:54 Where have you been?
01:46:58 - Where's Dad?
01:47:01 He lied to us, Mom. America's still there.
01:47:05 Oh, baby.
01:47:06 - Mother, I'm leaving.
01:47:09 - What do you mean?
01:47:11 Emily gave me the keys. Let's go.
01:47:15 You mean, leave Dad behind? No!
01:47:19 - Mother, please!
01:47:20 Please, listen to me.
01:47:24 Let's get the twins and let's get out of here
01:47:28 No.
01:47:30 No, I can't.
01:47:31 - Please!
01:47:33 - Please.
01:47:48 Allie.
01:47:58 Father, Father! TV's on fire!
01:48:01 Charlie, get the twins.
01:48:07 Wake up, come on! Wake up!
01:48:10 It's all right, girls. Come on, sweetheart.
01:48:13 It's all right. It's all right. Don't worry.
01:48:23 Don't worry. I got some gas.
01:48:26 I guess I must have spilled some.
01:48:28 Start the generators! Get the hoses going!
01:48:33 Communists.
01:48:35 Charlie, let go of the bowline.
01:48:39 Dad.
01:48:40 What?
01:48:43 We're not going with you.
01:48:44 What?
01:48:45 You're a liar.
01:48:46 - Charlie's got a plan. Listen to him.
01:48:50 Allie, you're killing us!
01:48:52 You've always been against me.
01:49:05 I'm sorry.
01:49:08 - Come on.
01:49:10 Come on, let's get off the boat.
01:49:14 Mother!
01:49:35 It's all right.
01:49:37 It's all right, my darling.
01:49:40 It's all right.
01:49:42 Gurney, we got the pump on!
01:49:49 You see what that says over that door?
01:52:03 How am I doing, Son?
01:52:08 Fine, Dad.
01:52:13 I can't move. Just my head.
01:52:17 You'll get better.
01:52:22 Man sprang from a faulty world, Charlie.
01:52:26 It's a bad design, the human body.
01:52:29 The skin's not thick enough.
01:52:35 We weren't meant to stand upright.
01:52:38 It exposes our heart and genitals.
01:52:42 Should be on all fours.
01:52:44 Hairier with tails.
01:52:50 Look at me. Yes, sir.
01:52:54 I'm going to be on all fours from now on.
01:53:00 I don't want Dad to die.
01:53:02 I know that. I know.
01:53:09 Nature's crooked.
01:53:13 I wanted right angles...
01:53:17 ...straight lines.
01:53:21 You cut yourself opening a can of tuna
01:53:30 Are we still going upriver, Mother?
01:53:40 Yes, darling.
01:54:01 Once I had believed in Father...
01:54:03 ... and the world had seemed small and old.
01:54:09 Now he was gone and I wasn't afraid
01:54:15 And the world seemed limitless.
