00:00:58 ...and how the living hid themselves,
00:01:01 ...in hopes of surviving
00:01:04 ...conspired to rob them
00:01:08 In those days, he walked alone...
00:01:10 ...a solitary witness
00:01:15 The earth itself had fallen victim
00:01:19 He told stories of the 3-year winter...

00:03:06 I don't know.
00:03:09 Better than turpentine, Bill.
00:03:14 Tastes about the same.
00:03:17 What do you say?
00:03:19 Your call.

00:05:31 I don't want any trouble.
00:05:35 I bet you don't either.
00:05:40 Let's just call it a draw.
00:06:17 I'm rich!
00:06:54 I know the rule.
00:06:56 It's my rule.
00:06:58 "Avoid civilization at all cost. "

00:07:03 Open your mouth.
00:07:06 It's true we haven't done this
00:07:09 . . .for God sakes,
00:07:14 What are you so worried about?
00:07:16 All you got to do is stand there.
00:07:18 I'm the one with all the lines.
00:07:27 Open up.
00:07:29 Awful.
00:07:30 Just awful.
00:07:40 They said, "Fear not, Macbeth. . .

00:08:20 Arm yourselves.
00:08:24 If the witch's words are true. . .
00:08:25 . . .there'll be no running,
00:08:29 We'll fight. . .
00:08:30 . . .as if our last meal

00:08:47 And tomorrow. . . .
00:08:49 Tomorrow.
00:08:51 And the day after that.
00:08:53 Out, brief candle!
00:08:55 Life's but a walking shadow. . .
00:08:58 . . .a poor player who struts. . .
00:09:01 . . .and frets his hour upon a stage. . .
00:09:03 . . .and is heard no more.
00:09:07 It's a tale told by. . . .
00:09:09 Idiot.
00:09:10 A moron. . .
00:09:12 . . .full of sound and fury. . .
00:09:15 . . .signifying. . .
00:09:18 . . .nothing.
00:09:30 But blow, wind!
00:09:31 Come, wrack!
00:09:33 At least we'll die. . .
00:09:36 . . .with the harness off our back!
00:09:47 I want to talk to him.
00:10:00 The children have never seen
00:10:04 They still haven't.
00:10:07 Thank you.
00:10:09 I'm clapping because you stink.
00:10:12 Larry!
00:10:13 I don't think you know how it works.
00:10:15 When I was young, I tried to be
00:10:19 But now I won't die thinking
00:10:23 -Stop it!
00:10:24 How much did you pay to get in?
00:10:28 So bite me.
00:10:30 You were very good.
00:10:33 -Good enough to get something to eat?
00:10:50 Holnists. Goddamn!
00:10:56 Bastards hardly kill anyone lately.
00:11:00 We give them food and supplies.
00:11:03 All the towns do.
00:11:04 I'd just as soon not give them
00:11:45 What are you doing there?
00:11:52 What are you doing?
00:11:59 It's just a game, General Bethlehem.
00:12:01 It's something they saw in a play.
00:12:04 Wait a minute!
00:12:05 A play?
00:12:07 Show me.
00:12:11 It's all right, children.
00:12:16 Arm yourselves.
00:12:18 No running from the witches.
00:12:20 Shakespeare, is it?
00:12:25 I'm sorry I missed it.
00:12:26 We haven't nearly stocked the game
00:12:30 Really?
00:12:35 I'm taking 3 conscripts. . .
00:12:37 . . .from each town!
00:12:39 They will have the honor
00:12:43 . . .until such time as I see fit!
00:12:44 3 men.
00:12:46 Could you do that?
00:12:49 Captain!
00:12:52 All men. . .
00:12:54 . . .between 15 and 50. . .
00:12:56 . . .and of suitable ethnic foundation
00:13:07 General.
00:13:11 No, but keep that.
00:13:30 Acceptable.
00:13:32 Sir?
00:13:33 Acceptable, Captain.
00:13:35 Need some meat on you,
00:13:38 Acceptable.
00:13:54 Mongoloid.
00:13:56 Unacceptable.
00:13:58 I want pure blood.
00:14:01 Someone. . . .
00:14:04 Someone. . . .
00:14:07 -Don't wave.
00:14:11 Someone like. . . .
00:14:23 Like that man!
00:14:37 You don't understand.
00:14:39 You were required to show yourself.
00:14:41 I'm not with them.
00:14:47 Take the mule.
00:16:29 Let's go! Move!
00:16:52 Ten-hut!
00:16:54 I want a line right here.
00:17:08 Welcome, gentlemen,
00:17:11 You have been born again as soldiers
00:17:15 God rest his soul!
00:17:18 The strong have been sapped. . .
00:17:20 . . .by the whimpering propaganda
00:17:23 Men. . .
00:17:25 . . .strong men,
00:17:28 You men have been saved
00:17:31 Redemption. . .
00:17:33 . . .is within your grasp.
00:17:44 You.
00:17:45 What did you do
00:17:48 I had a shovel.
00:17:51 You digged holes.
00:17:54 Now you'll fill them.
00:18:11 And you?
00:18:13 Me?
00:18:15 Is there any question in anyone's mind
00:18:18 Yes, you.
00:18:20 I'm just a performer.
00:18:22 Shakespeare. Stuff like that.
00:18:25 Shakespeare?
00:18:27 He was a writer.
00:18:29 Yes, I know.
00:18:31 I know who Shakespeare was.
00:18:35 "Cry 'Havoc!' . . .
00:18:36 . . .and let slip. . .
00:18:38 . . .the dogs of war. "
00:18:52 Me?
00:18:56 "To be or not to be:
00:18:59 That is the question. "
00:19:12 "We few. . .
00:19:13 . . .we happy few. . .
00:19:15 . . .we band of brothers! "
00:19:35 "Now is the winter of our discontent
00:19:38 . . .by this sun of York. "
00:19:45 You're pretty good.
00:19:53 You're also a fighter.
00:19:58 You are a dangerous man.
00:20:01 Don't you agree?
00:20:02 No disrespect, sir,
00:20:12 A fighter is
00:20:23 Don't you think I should be
00:20:26 Get up.
00:20:27 I said, get up!
00:20:44 You're right.
00:20:47 But you will be.
00:20:49 I'm giving you a chance
00:20:51 . . .that means something.
00:20:52 A life worth living.
00:20:56 -I'm glad to see you.
00:20:58 -I missed you. Kurt, how are you?
00:21:03 -Gretl, what happened to your finger?
00:21:06 -Caught in what?
00:21:21 Thanks.
00:21:25 Did I win?
00:21:30 I tried to tell him.
00:21:34 Say it again.
00:21:37 Say what?
00:21:39 Words you said in town.
00:21:41 About the wind blowing and the rest.
00:21:46 "Blow, wind.
00:21:49 At least we'll die
00:21:53 What's it mean?
00:21:57 "Live free or. . .
00:21:59 . . .die. "
00:22:00 I think.
00:22:03 You're going to watch a movie
00:22:07 But tomorrow. . .
00:22:08 . . .you run in uniform. . .
00:22:10 . . .full packs. . .
00:22:12 ...20 miles!
00:22:14 Everybody makes it...
00:22:15 ...or nobody eats...
00:22:17 ...for the third day in a row!
00:23:13 Everybody up.
00:23:15 You got meat tonight.
00:23:23 Why don't you tell Shakespeare
00:23:29 Mule.
00:23:34 God-awful animal.
00:23:36 Sterile offspring of horse and donkey.
00:23:40 Can you imagine that?
00:23:42 There's no room in the New World
00:23:57 Any man last in line
00:24:09 You show up last. . .
00:24:12 . . .you don't eat!
00:24:20 I'm going to die
00:24:24 That's what they're hoping for.
00:24:28 Shut up! At least you're eating!
00:24:36 You serious?
00:24:47 Good.
00:24:50 This is good!
00:25:24 You want this?!
00:25:27 This is what you want?
00:25:40 Babies!
00:25:48 The hills are alive
00:25:50 With the sound of music
00:26:00 These were supposed to be
00:26:11 The Laws of Eight, gentlemen.
00:26:15 That is the legacy
00:26:18 May he burn in hell.
00:26:20 These are the laws that we live by.
00:26:23 The 8. . .
00:26:24 . . .is our symbol.
00:26:27 Each man will bear it with pride.
00:26:31 Only then will you be part of the clan.
00:26:34 Sit down, gentlemen.
00:26:53 Law One:
00:26:55 You will obey orders without question.
00:27:01 There weren't enough chairs.
00:27:03 I didn't specify chairs.
00:27:07 You disobeyed a direct order.
00:27:10 . . .Law One.
00:27:12 Law Two:
00:27:13 Punishment shall be swift.
00:27:18 Law Three:
00:27:20 Mercy. . .
00:27:22 . . .is for the weak.
00:27:26 Four:
00:27:29 Terror. . .
00:27:31 . . .will defeat reason.
00:27:34 Five:
00:27:36 Your allegiance is to the clan.
00:27:40 Six:
00:27:42 Justice can be dictated.
00:27:45 Seven:
00:27:48 Any clansmen may challenge
00:27:52 Does anyone
00:27:57 On your feet.
00:28:00 Law Eight:
00:28:05 There's only one penalty.
00:28:08 Please!
00:28:29 You will get out of this army
00:28:32 Work and you'll be fed.
00:28:35 Fight and you'll be respected.
00:28:38 Die and you'll be remembered.
00:28:51 You thinking of challenging
00:28:54 No, sir.
00:28:56 I'm a follower. . .
00:28:57 . . .not a leader.
00:28:59 You got a smart mouth. . .
00:29:01 . . .Shakespeare.
00:29:03 You see Colonel Getty
00:29:06 He was the last man ever to challenge.
00:29:08 Fight lasted 6 seconds. . .
00:29:11 . . .but he didn't kill him.
00:29:14 Cut off his tongue. . .
00:29:16 . . .then he cut off his balls.
00:29:18 And old Getty's been following him
00:29:24 Fall out!
00:29:29 The General don't see it. . .
00:29:31 . . .but I say
00:29:54 They're yours?
00:29:59 A solitary man, aren't you?
00:30:02 Binoculars to watch life from a distance
00:30:06 . . .to read about it,
00:30:10 No offense, but you seem
00:30:12 . . .yourself.
00:30:16 If he wishes to rise
00:30:18 . . .a military commander
00:30:22 . . .philosophy and history,
00:30:28 What do you think that I did
00:30:32 Do you think
00:30:34 I sold copying machines.
00:30:37 I was a salesman. . .
00:30:39 . . .with the talent to lead men,
00:30:43 . . .Iocked away inside.
00:30:45 If Nathan Holn hadn't come along,
00:30:50 Can you imagine. . .
00:30:51 . . .the wasted life?
00:30:56 But war. . .
00:30:58 . . .war gives men like me a chance.
00:31:00 Here.
00:31:08 "The prize is often left unclaimed.
00:31:11 We must have the courage to grasp it. . .
00:31:14 . . .for fortune always favors the bold. "
00:31:28 He always inspires me.
00:31:34 I have a design for the future.
00:31:37 I will need able officers
00:31:42 You have the intelligence.
00:31:44 If your heart matches. . .
00:31:46 . . .you will go far.
00:31:47 We'll talk more in weeks to come.
00:31:49 Dismissed.
00:31:51 Captain!
00:31:52 We'll be moving out tomorrow.
00:31:54 Issue those binoculars to a scout.
00:31:57 And the book, sir?
00:31:59 Burn it.
00:32:07 Quit moving!
00:32:13 What happened?
00:32:16 -What happened? What'd he say?
00:32:19 Did he say anything about me?
00:32:21 No!
00:32:27 -I'm getting out of here.
00:32:32 -Escaping.
00:32:34 You ever hear of St. Rose?
00:32:37 -It's a paradise.
00:32:38 We could!
00:32:39 Between the 3 of us we could.
00:32:44 I can't.
00:32:47 I like it here.
00:33:17 Take a point!
00:33:37 Some of the men shot a lion.
00:33:39 They crawled into the thicket.
00:33:50 One of you dogs earned a treat.
00:33:53 Over there.
00:33:56 Those men hunted a lion this morning.
00:33:59 Must've been a goddamn zoo here
00:34:02 Anyway, a third man went in after it.
00:34:05 We don't know
00:34:08 I want a volunteer.
00:34:10 One of you
00:34:18 I'll go.
00:34:27 I guess size
00:34:30 Is it?
00:34:51 I don't think so, Captain!
00:35:00 Come out alive,
00:35:09 Maybe you'll find your St. Rose
00:35:17 What the hell are you waiting for,
00:36:09 Why are you stopping?
00:36:16 I found him.
00:36:23 He got him.
00:36:25 Let's go.
00:36:56 Hurry up!
00:36:57 You still got a lion to bag!
00:37:22 You men get back in line!
00:37:26 -There he is!
00:37:40 In the water.
00:37:42 . . .and you and another man
00:37:46 Go! Go!
00:37:49 I'll get him!
00:38:02 Go!
00:39:31 Don't.
00:39:33 Just let me go.
00:39:35 I don't want to be a part of your army.
00:39:38 My army?
00:39:41 I like the sound of that.
00:39:45 I got him!
00:39:47 I'm sorry.
00:39:59 How come. . .
00:40:00 . . .you wrecked it. . .
00:40:03 . . .for me?
00:40:16 It's me or you.
00:40:18 What?
00:40:22 It doesn't have to be.
00:40:25 We can go together.
00:40:30 Good boy!
00:40:34 Good boy.
00:40:38 Get him.
00:40:43 Finish it!
00:40:53 Get him.

00:41:51 Bleeding?
00:41:52 Well, bleeder. . .

00:58:52 We've been trying
00:58:55 We cannot on account of Michael.
00:58:59 So we need a body father.
00:59:02 We could ask a man here,

00:59:12 But you'll only be around
00:59:17 You're the postman.
00:59:20 What do you say, mister?
00:59:23 You'd do us a favor.

01:02:45 Could be anywhere, you know.
01:02:48 Only another postman
01:02:52 Kind of like vampires, right?
01:02:56 Yeah, something like that.
01:03:00 You have to be sworn in,
01:03:07 The organization's kind of shaky

01:04:08 By my authority you're now empowered
01:04:12 Congratulations.
01:04:14 You're a postman.
01:04:22 I'd die to get a letter through.
01:04:26 What did you say?
01:04:28 -I said I'd die to get a letter through.
01:04:32 Why don't you run along.
01:04:34 I need to speak to this man.
01:04:37 I'll see you around.
01:04:40 Sure thing, Ford.
01:04:44 Johnny is impressed with you.
01:04:48 I take it you're not.
01:04:50 -You're smarter than you look.
01:04:53 You can either clear out or I can
01:04:58 You don't understand. I'm
01:05:02 You are not authorized by shit!
01:05:04 You were trying to sneak out of here.
01:05:07 . . .but a drifter who found
01:05:12 All right. This is going in my report.
01:05:16 These people don't need dreams,
01:05:19 They need something real.
01:05:22 Are you going to bring them that?
01:05:27 Didn't think so.
01:05:30 All you cost us so far is a few bowls
01:05:34 I aim to keep it that way.
01:05:36 You can stay here till morning. . .
01:05:38 . . .then I don't ever want

01:06:11 What the hell these people--
01:06:14 Just leave it.
01:06:19 I said, leave it.
01:06:28 "St. Rose"?
01:06:54 Hello, Abby.
01:06:57 You'll be leaving tomorrow?
01:07:01 I guess.
01:07:07 Everybody's up late writing letters
01:07:11 They're so excited.
01:07:14 And how about you?
01:07:19 I don't have anybody to write to.
01:07:22 I'll find you a pen pal.
01:07:24 Someone with similar interests.
01:07:27 Like dancing and. . .
01:07:30 . . .checking for mumps.
01:07:32 You're funny.
01:07:34 Hardly anybody's funny around here.
01:07:43 Have you decided yet?
01:07:57 Been thinking about it.
01:08:21 Sure.
01:08:23 I mean. . .
01:08:25 . . .why not?
01:08:34 God, you're so. . . .
01:08:36 You're so. . .
01:08:38 . . .beautiful.
01:08:41 I'm sorry, you probably want
01:08:46 You don't even know my name.
01:08:50 I don't want to.
01:08:58 It would be easier for me. . .
01:09:00 . . .if you closed your eyes.
01:11:22 We took a vote, Mr. Postman.
01:11:24 We want you to have this.
01:11:33 So you can't say no.
01:11:40 I'll take it.
01:11:44 You got a bedroll, some oats
01:11:47 Good.
01:11:49 Thank you.
01:11:50 Where will you go from here?
01:11:53 Go?
01:12:00 West. . .
01:12:03 . . .then I'll work my way. . .
01:12:05 . . .back here,
01:12:14 Times seem hard right now.
01:12:16 But you got to believe
01:12:22 Birds are migrating again.
01:12:24 The rains are back.
01:12:27 Stuff's. . . .
01:12:28 Stuff's getting better.
01:12:32 O beautiful
01:12:36 For spacious skies
01:12:40 For amber waves of grain
01:12:47 Shit!
01:12:49 You've got a hell of a nerve,
01:12:58 Did you see Abby around this morning?
01:13:02 This is as far as I go.
01:13:05 You're on your own.
01:13:06 God shed his grace on thee
01:13:13 And crown thy good
01:13:15 With brotherhood
01:13:18 Are you really
01:13:20 If I come back with some mail. . .
01:13:23 . . .you'll know.
01:13:31 Goddamn it!
01:14:02 What are you looking at?
01:14:05 Everything.
01:15:04 They don't usually look at me.
01:15:22 Who is responsible. . .
01:15:25 . . .for that?
01:15:30 I said. . .
01:15:32 . . . "Who's responsible. . .
01:15:34 . . .for that?! "
01:15:41 Holnists, Johnny.
01:15:46 -You got to stay out of sight.
01:15:49 And I'm not running from anybody!
01:15:51 Stay out of this,
01:16:04 You'll be responsible.
01:16:14 Now set that flag on fire.
01:16:42 Throw it through the window
01:16:45 Do it, Michael.
01:16:47 It's all right, Michael.
01:16:54 The United States. . .
01:16:56 . . .doesn't exist!
01:17:01 That flag is an abomination!
01:17:24 There was the strangest little goat
01:17:39 I looked at it and it had a color to it.
01:17:47 Good.
01:17:48 Everything.
01:17:51 I was amazed.
01:17:55 Good Lord!
01:17:58 That, gentlemen. . .
01:18:00 . . .is a first-rate piece of ass.
01:18:05 Tell the sheriff to introduce me.
01:18:09 Excuse me.
01:18:12 You again!
01:18:14 That's my wife, General.
01:18:16 She's a married woman.
01:18:18 Really?
01:18:22 Do you know what system of government
01:18:26 We have what is known as a feudal
01:18:30 That's lords and vassals.
01:18:34 Now those lords. . .
01:18:36 . . .they had some ideas.
01:18:37 They believed that
01:18:40 . . .it was the lord's right. . .
01:18:43 . . .his right. . .
01:18:44 . . .to sleep with the bride
01:18:53 Me and Abby
01:18:56 I'm sorry, but I wasn't invited
01:19:05 You've already done me one favor, son.
01:19:08 Don't let this be a black mark
01:19:19 We'll be civilized about this.
01:19:22 I want you to give me your blessing.
01:19:33 Sir, I can't.
01:19:36 You can't?
01:19:39 You can't.
01:19:42 "Can't. "
01:19:48 We had a great nation once.
01:19:52 Know what made it great?
01:19:55 "I can. "
01:19:58 Till the weak came along.
01:20:00 The "I can'ts" destroyed us!
01:20:05 I'm going to make us strong again.
01:20:07 I'm going to be the father. . .
01:20:09 . . .of a new nation.
01:20:11 And do you know why. . .
01:20:13 . . .it will be me?
01:20:19 Because I can.
01:20:30 Stop it!
01:20:36 You're killing him!
01:20:38 Let me go!
01:20:41 Please, let me go!
01:20:49 Help him, somebody!
01:21:00 You didn't have to--!
01:21:02 Didn't have to what?
01:21:06 You bastard!
01:21:09 You killed him!
01:21:12 Your people seem seditious.
01:21:15 You seem seditious.
01:21:18 What am I seeing here?
01:21:21 I'm waiting!
01:21:31 A man came through with mail.
01:21:35 Said that the government
01:21:38 What government?
01:21:40 The United States government!
01:21:45 Who said that?
01:22:03 Which way did he go?
01:22:06 Do not make me ask again.
01:22:08 East.
01:22:10 Send a patrol east!
01:22:12 Send 3 more. . .
01:22:14 . . .north, south and west!
01:22:17 They'd better find him east.
01:22:38 Take that damn shirt off, Johnny!
01:22:44 I managed to save these.
01:22:45 Do you want to die too?
01:22:49 I'm headed south with the mail.
01:22:54 Don't be a fool.
01:22:57 What should I be?
01:23:10 Rachel Clark.
01:23:15 "Charlie Sykes. "
01:23:23 "Graham Drewitt. "
01:23:26 G.D. died of flu last winter.
01:23:31 That's all there is.
01:23:34 That's all there is, folks.
01:23:36 For now.
01:23:38 But there'll be more, lots more,
01:23:44 Right?
01:23:48 What about New York City?
01:23:51 Did they survive the plague?
01:23:55 Survive?
01:23:59 They got Broadway up and running again.
01:24:05 There's a kid doing Andrew Floyd Webber,
01:24:08 How much is it to mail a letter?
01:24:11 "Mail. . . . "
01:24:39 They won't open the gates.
01:24:43 They say they got a representative
01:24:47 They say this army is illegal.
01:24:49 -And they say--
01:24:51 And go to hell!
01:24:55 That's what they say.
01:24:57 What are you doing?!
01:25:03 Idiots!
01:25:08 What're you thinking?!
01:25:11 The Romans. . .
01:25:12 . . .had an expression. . .
01:25:14 . . .they used to scare their children.
01:25:18 "Hannibal...
01:25:20 ...ad portas!"
01:25:23 Hannibal. . .
01:25:25 . . .is at the gates.
01:25:34 Do you know who Hannibal was?
01:25:38 Of course not.
01:25:39 A pretty girl like you
01:25:47 -Let's fight them!
01:25:49 We've got 5 guns,
01:25:52 How we going to fight with that?
01:25:54 You don't.
01:25:59 Negotiate a settlement.
01:26:01 Give them extra supplies.
01:26:08 You're the government rep.
01:26:25 Right here.
01:26:36 Make it quick.
01:26:40 They've asked me
01:26:46 Do I know you?
01:26:48 I don't think so, sir.
01:26:50 You're the postman.
01:26:52 Aren't you?
01:26:57 Inside!
01:27:02 "U.S. Mail. "
01:27:05 "The Restored United States of America. "
01:27:08 Do these people
01:27:12 Who are you, really?
01:27:15 I'm a United States postman. . .
01:27:17 . . .authorized by Order 417
01:27:21 I was at the Battle of Georgetown.
01:27:25 Do not try to sell me. . .
01:27:27 . . .on any Restored United States!
01:27:32 The new capital is based
01:27:35 . . .inside the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome.
01:27:38 You know where the Vikings
01:27:42 You're funny.
00:00:06 They'll open the gates,
00:00:09 . . .just. . .
00:00:10 . . .don't hurt anybody.
00:00:12 This was all a misunderstanding.
00:00:21 I appreciate your offer, Mr. Postman.
00:00:23 But the fact is that you're
00:00:27 These people made it through the bugs
00:00:31 . . .and the 3-year winters,
00:00:36 Fire at will!
00:00:47 Law Six:
00:00:48 Justice can be. . .
00:00:50 . . .dictated!
00:00:55 Kill him, and kill
00:01:20 In accordance with Law 8. . .
00:01:21 . . .and by the authority
00:01:24 . . .you are hereby--
00:01:33 Get her!
00:02:25 Go on, get him!
00:02:47 We can't stop now.
00:02:52 What are you. . .?
00:02:56 Oh, God!
00:03:21 Come on down.
00:03:40 Don't move.
00:03:48 If you had a bullet,
00:05:03 Come on.
00:05:54 I don't think
00:05:58 Maybe next time
00:06:02 Dirt.
00:06:06 Maybe a twig garnish.
00:06:13 You used to think I was funny.
00:06:18 They killed Michael.
00:06:29 I'm sorry.
00:06:34 How sorry are you?
00:06:37 What?
00:06:43 What's that supposed to mean?
00:06:47 What's with you?
00:06:48 You have the mark of 8 on you.
00:06:52 Mark doesn't mean--
00:06:53 You're a liar.
00:06:58 You were with Bethlehem.
00:07:00 Does that make you one of them?
00:07:13 Don't make me use this.
00:07:30 Wind's come up.
00:07:32 It's getting colder too.
00:07:34 Must be another storm.
00:07:40 Anything else?
00:07:43 I didn't mean for you to. . . .
00:07:45 Your legs are going to rot off
00:07:49 -I'm hurt.
00:07:50 Lazy?
00:07:52 I got a hole in my stomach. . .
00:07:54 . . .and I'm weak.
00:07:56 The 2 big meals around here
00:07:59 . . .and we're running out of grass.
00:08:11 What're you doing?
00:08:38 Give me a break!
00:08:42 I'm going to check the pass.
00:08:45 Why are you in such a hurry?
00:08:47 I could think of worse places.
00:08:50 Or I could think of worse company.
00:08:59 Perfect!
00:09:56 Help!
00:10:05 Help!
00:10:09 Please!
00:10:11 Quick!
00:10:23 God, help me!
00:10:44 I told you that's all there was.
00:10:47 That's why you should have it.
00:10:54 I knew you could walk.
00:10:58 You're weird.
00:11:00 Know that?
00:11:24 We walked on the moon once, Abby.
00:11:27 So?
00:11:29 What good is that now?
00:11:34 Obviously you've forgotten. . .
00:11:36 . . .Tang and. . .
00:11:38 . . .microwave ovens and. . . .
00:11:46 Your face looks pretty.
00:11:52 I mean. . .
00:11:54 . . .not so bruised.
00:12:02 Look. . .
00:12:04 . . .there's something
00:12:07 You're going to find out soon enough.
00:12:10 I'm pregnant.
00:12:14 It's Michael's baby.
00:12:17 You're just the body father.
00:12:25 How do you know it's mine. . .
00:12:29 . . .not Bethlehem's?
00:12:34 He tried with me almost every night.
00:12:40 He couldn't do it. . .
00:12:46 . . .so he beat me.
00:12:51 Said it was my fault.
00:12:59 I'm sorry, Abby.
00:13:38 What is it?
00:13:41 What's wrong?
00:13:45 Is it the baby?
00:13:47 The pass is clear.
00:14:10 What happened?
00:14:14 Good, you got our stuff out.
00:14:16 Of course.
00:14:18 What?
00:14:21 I don't understand.
00:14:23 I set the fire.
00:14:28 Did you think we'd stay here forever?
00:14:31 No.
00:14:35 I'd appreciate it if you'd walk with me
00:14:39 . . .then we can split up.
00:14:41 You shaved.
00:14:43 Looks nice.
00:14:51 You're really weird!
00:14:53 You know that?
00:15:01 You ever heard of St. Rose, Abby?
00:15:04 I've heard people talk.
00:15:06 I've heard lots of names. . .
00:15:08 . . .Bliss, Hesperia, and New Eden.
00:15:11 Sheriff Briscoe says it's a fantasy.
00:15:14 He's wrong.
00:15:16 St. Rose is out there. . .
00:15:18 . . .and I'm going to find it.
00:15:19 But you're The Postman.
00:15:21 I'm nobody, Abby.
00:15:37 This is what I hate.
00:15:39 Strangers.
00:15:40 Do you say hi,
00:15:43 Do they want to share what they got
00:15:47 If they want to take, how far
00:15:51 All right, that's far enough.
00:15:54 We don't want any trouble.
00:15:59 Me neither, mister.
00:16:02 What are you?
00:16:03 Carrier 18. . .
00:16:05 . . .U.S. Postal Service.
00:16:08 Got any mail?
00:16:09 That's impossible.
00:16:13 Ain't you heard of The Postman?
00:16:16 No.
00:16:18 Tell us.
00:16:20 He's only the greatest man
00:16:23 He crossed the wasteland. . .
00:16:25 . . .shook his fist at the enemy. . .
00:16:27 . . .and spit in the eye
00:16:31 He's back east
00:16:35 Who told you all this?
00:16:37 Postmaster Ford Lincoln Mercury.
00:16:40 He's in direct contact
00:16:42 Direct contact?!
00:16:44 I don't believe this!
00:16:46 Carrier camp!
00:16:47 Carrier camp!
00:16:49 Gather around, everybody!
00:16:50 Come on, gather around.
00:16:54 It came in last night.
00:16:59 -What's all this?
00:17:03 He's going to read it.
00:17:06 "Hello, all postal carriers.
00:17:12 I'm here in Minneapolis
00:17:15 . . .but my thoughts are with you.
00:17:17 Remember. . .
00:17:19 . . .nothing worth doing
00:17:21 Keep your chins up
00:17:25 Signed. . .
00:17:27 . . .The Postman" !
00:17:31 His letters are always kind of short.
00:17:35 Hold on!
00:17:38 Does anybody know
00:17:56 -Holy shit!
00:17:59 No, I saw him once
00:18:03 It's The Postman.
00:18:35 Guess you want to talk about this.
00:18:48 I found him!
00:18:55 "Minneapolis"?
00:18:57 "P.S. Ford knows what to do"?
00:19:02 What is this?
00:19:03 What is all this?
00:19:05 I lied!
00:19:07 I told people you were
00:19:12 -Why?
00:19:18 Look. . .
00:19:20 . . .I don't know how long I can stay.
00:19:24 . . .President Starkey. . .
00:19:25 . . .he's going to send word for me
00:19:31 Do you understand?
00:19:39 But you'll stay
00:19:53 Don't do that.
00:19:56 You're staying till President Starkey
00:19:59 Yes!
00:20:01 Until he sends word. Right.
00:20:04 Could you say a few words
00:20:12 It's me.
00:20:31 Coming down.
00:20:36 We bring all the mail here first.
00:20:39 We sort it.
00:20:41 We group it.
00:20:43 So far, we got 30 routes.
00:20:56 You spelled "tyranny" wrong.
00:21:00 Boy!
00:21:02 He's smart.
00:21:04 >From the swift completion. . .
00:21:07 . . .of their appointed rounds.
00:21:11 Congratulations.
00:21:27 How old are you?
00:21:28 I'm 68, sir.
00:21:34 Can I ask you a question?
00:21:38 Can you ride?
00:21:40 No.
00:21:41 Can't walk too good either.
00:21:43 So why are you here?
00:21:46 I know stuff.
00:21:53 Where did you get that?
00:21:57 1970.
00:22:01 A girl with eyes as big as saucers. . .
00:22:03 . . .did me in a little town
00:22:24 Ford wants me to have his place.
00:22:27 Said it's the best.
00:22:32 I'm on the other side.
00:22:37 I got plenty of room here.
00:22:44 So much for the uniform theory.
00:22:53 He was captured on the Oregon border.
00:22:57 Who the hell are you?
00:22:59 Carrier 12.
00:23:01 United States Postal Service.
00:23:18 I want the camp struck at dawn.
00:23:23 We'll be moving north!
00:23:30 You spelled "tyranny" wrong.
00:23:36 I wish they'd stop saluting.
00:23:46 Just stay safe.
00:23:49 Remember. . .
00:23:51 . . .the mailman's more important
00:23:55 Boy, he's smart.
00:24:00 When I was a kid we used to turn
00:24:05 Thought it was cool.
00:24:13 Jesus Christ!
00:24:24 Damn!
00:25:31 I missed him.
00:27:18 What's the name of this town?
00:27:22 We never named it.
00:27:26 I officially declare. . .
00:27:28 . . .Postal Station Number 10. . .
00:27:31 . . .in Elvis, Oregon. . .
00:27:32 . . .open for business.
00:27:37 >From now on you got to get your mail
00:27:41 This one doesn't work.
00:27:55 Read it again.
00:27:57 Are you sure?
00:27:58 Yes.
00:28:01 "Dearest Mom:
00:28:09 Stuff is getting better.
00:28:12 Stuff is getting better every day.
00:28:18 I don't know who you are. . .
00:28:22 . . .but I do know
00:28:29 Got a letter for you too, Sheriff.
00:28:44 It's from my sister.
00:28:47 Thought she was dead.
00:28:50 You thought wrong.
00:29:11 Would you like to dance?
00:29:18 Well, they say that you can never
00:29:23 Never go back home
00:29:30 And if you're bound to wander
00:29:35 You're bound to be alone
00:29:41 You say I got no right
00:29:45 To feel what I feel
00:29:48 When I look into your eyes
00:29:51 Want to dance?
00:29:53 But that I dream of you
00:29:56 Most every night
00:30:00 Comes as no surprise
00:30:05 Well, I've been
00:30:12 Far and wide
00:30:14 Do I roam
00:30:18 But something in your smile tells me
00:30:23 I'm almost home
00:30:43 I was lost in the dark
00:30:45 All alone
00:30:48 Till the light
00:30:49 In your eyes showed me
00:30:53 I was almost
00:30:55 Home is where the heart is
00:30:58 And my heart goes with you
00:31:00 I would travel till the end of time
00:31:03 If that's what I have to do
00:31:06 Just to spend one night
00:31:09 Till your sweet love light
00:31:12 Come down
00:31:16 Shining down on me
00:31:32 Hello.
00:31:36 Who do you talk to?
00:31:38 Not a soul in 7 years of trying. . .
00:31:41 . . .but I will.
00:31:46 Want some?
00:31:47 No, thanks.
00:31:50 Don't let the kids see that.
00:31:52 You go ahead, take a look.
00:31:55 I was an aerospace engineer.
00:31:57 I helped design
00:32:01 No shit?
00:32:02 No shit.
00:32:04 I dream it's orbiting
00:32:08 . . .with a dozen human skeletons. . .
00:32:10 . . .all grinning at each other. . .
00:32:13 . . .laughing at us down here.
00:32:26 -What is it?
00:32:28 He's overdue.
00:32:31 That makes 5.
00:32:34 All on southern routes.
00:32:42 Just children.
00:32:44 You bring me children.
00:32:46 I want a man.
00:32:53 We got births and. . .
00:32:54 . . .deaths.
00:32:56 Got weather.
00:32:58 There's nothing here.
00:33:00 Nothing?
00:33:02 Everything. . .
00:33:04 . . .is here.
00:33:06 Am I the only one who sees that?!
00:33:10 What?
00:33:20 A military man,
00:33:23 . . .should keep a journal.
00:33:25 After he's gone,
00:33:27 . . .against the slander
00:33:54 Tell me about the other stuff you know.
00:34:48 Shit!
00:36:30 Get rid of the bodies.
00:36:32 I don't want these people blamed
00:36:38 Neither snow, nor rain,
00:36:43 ... through bandit's hell,
00:36:47 ... through flood and plague
00:36:51 ...no Holnist trash
00:36:56 You are now U.S. Postal Carriers.
00:37:01 They changed the oath.
00:37:03 Ford's idea.
00:37:05 Figures.
00:37:07 They don't think to ask
00:37:10 . . .or why.
00:37:12 Sir?
00:37:16 It'd be an honor
00:37:20 Do I know you?
00:37:24 I don't think so.
00:37:28 Good luck, then.
00:37:38 Nice kid.
00:37:40 He'll probably be dead in a week.
00:37:43 Now that is not your fault.
00:37:45 You're exhausted. You need rest.
00:37:50 -Where are you going?
00:37:52 You're grounded.
00:37:56 You know the rule.
00:37:57 What rule?
00:37:59 22, it's too far south.
00:38:01 But they're waiting on--
00:38:03 Get off the goddamn horse!
00:38:07 I'll tie him off to this one.
00:38:09 You can't keep doing this!
00:38:11 -Doing what?
00:38:13 You're not saving anybody.
00:38:17 Did I ever tell you
00:38:21 I don't know if you'd laugh
00:38:28 What is it?
00:38:31 Watch out!
00:38:39 We got fire! Move!
00:39:15 -"Postage due. "
00:39:23 You want a war?
00:39:26 You want a war?!
00:39:28 I'll give you. . .
00:39:30 . . .a war!
00:39:33 I was. . .
00:39:34 . . .born for it!
00:39:37 You murderers!
00:39:41 You think you can ride?!
00:39:45 Then today's your lucky day!
00:39:48 Bethlehem says...
00:39:50 ...he's headed north.
00:39:53 He's going to kill 10 people
00:39:55 ... then burn it to the ground
00:39:59 He said that Pineview's on his way.
00:40:03 He'd wait there for you,
00:40:07 I was so scared, sir.
00:40:09 I thought
00:40:18 See?
00:40:19 We're too late. I told you.
00:40:22 What're you going to do?
00:40:23 I'm going to stop this.
00:40:26 You can't.
00:40:27 Get out of the way, Ford.
00:40:29 They'll kill you!
00:40:34 Hold him!
00:40:38 Stop it!
00:40:40 -You're hurting him!
00:40:42 Yes, you are!
00:40:43 I'm not!
00:40:46 This is all my doing.
00:40:50 You told me to bury the dead Holnists,
00:40:54 Why?
00:40:56 Bethlehem has to know
00:40:57 Goddamn it, Ford!
00:41:00 Those people are dying because of us!
00:41:03 They're dying because of what we did.
00:41:05 They're not!
00:41:08 . . .because this is a shitty world!
00:41:11 . . .then someone might have to die.
00:41:13 If I could make it be me down there,
00:41:19 No! Please!
00:41:22 -You, out here!
00:41:24 Please!
00:41:42 He's out there somewhere.
00:41:45 Watching.
00:41:49 I can feel it.
00:41:54 You feel it too, don't you?
00:41:57 It didn't have to end
00:42:00 He knew where I'd be
00:42:04 Instead he's hiding. . .
00:42:06 . . .like a rabbit!
00:42:08 So much for your Postman!
00:42:10 Lieutenant!
00:42:12 Ready!
00:42:15 We don't even know their names.
00:42:17 We know their names.
00:42:24 I think that's my dad.
00:42:34 Aim!
00:42:36 Ride, Postman!
00:42:38 Ride!
00:42:39 You hear me?!
00:42:40 I said, "Ride! "
00:42:44 Fire!
00:43:07 My God, what have I done?
00:43:12 What Ford did was wrong!
00:43:17 But it doesn't change anything. . .
00:43:20 . . .for any of us, does it?
00:43:45 Is this everybody?
00:43:47 The rest are on the overdue list.
00:43:50 Then this is everybody.
00:43:52 Got a letter from the President.
00:43:57 "Greetings, all carriers. "
00:43:59 Greetings, President Starkey!
00:44:04 "I've been in contact with The Postman.
00:44:07 And I've received all the reports.
00:44:09 I'm proud of you all.
00:44:12 In dark days,
00:44:14 . . .you gave everything
00:44:17 You beat back despair
00:44:20 For that, your country
00:44:23 But the price is too high. . .
00:44:27 . . .and I won't see any more
00:44:31 It is my duty to hereby disband. . .
00:44:34 . . .the Postal Service
00:44:38 You are to burn your uniforms. . .
00:44:40 . . .and The Postman
00:44:44 Thank you.
00:44:46 And God bless you all.
00:44:49 The President. "
00:45:07 The President never wrote that letter.
00:45:09 If he could've,
00:45:12 Who's the other letter to?
00:45:14 Bethlehem.
00:45:15 -I'm taking it to him in the morning.
00:45:18 -Mail's private, you know that.
00:45:23 It says it's over.
00:45:25 It says we quit.
00:45:27 It says you quit!
00:45:30 What about the oath?
00:45:31 Tell me something, Ford.
00:45:33 How much mail
00:45:37 It's over.
00:45:43 Then I'll take it.
00:45:45 I can't trust you.
00:45:54 If this is the end. . .
00:45:57 . . .if this is the last piece of mail
00:46:03 . . .I'll take it.
00:46:06 Whoever delivers this letter, Ford,
00:46:09 I'm still a postman!
00:46:15 You owe it to me.
00:46:18 I owe it to me.
00:46:34 It's not Ford's fault.
00:46:36 He's not like you. He doesn 't have
00:46:41 This is all they have.
00:46:43 -It's the only decent thing they know.
00:46:45 Being a postman?
00:46:48 It's all bullshit, Abby.
00:46:50 All of it.
00:46:52 I took the uniform off a skeleton
00:46:55 I made up the rest to stay fed.
00:46:59 There is no. . .
00:47:00 . . .Restored United States.
00:47:03 I figured it was something like that.
00:47:05 I'm going to St. Rose.
00:47:07 I'm taking you with me.
00:47:10 I've already packed your horse.
00:47:12 I know you don't want to hear it. . .
00:47:15 . . .but that's my child inside you.
00:47:18 I want to see it born somewhere safe.
00:47:43 I thought I recognized you.
00:47:46 General Bethlehem said you should be
00:47:49 I don't give a damn
00:47:52 The general is a great man!
00:47:58 The general is a fucking lunatic.
00:48:05 You want to see a man?
00:48:08 That's a man.
00:48:13 You ready?
00:48:18 Yes.
00:48:23 You're a better man than Bethlehem.
00:48:26 I've seen it.
00:48:32 "To Bethlehem.
00:48:34 This letter is my testimony...
00:48:37 ... to the fact that there is no...
00:48:39 ...Restored United States...
00:48:41 . . .and there is no postal service. "
00:48:45 He expects me to believe this?
00:48:47 It's true.
00:48:52 I was there.
00:48:55 . . .and rode west.
00:48:57 Traitor!
00:49:01 Then I've won.
00:49:08 Bring the one we found yesterday.
00:49:12 You traitor!
00:49:20 That one's the second-in-command.
00:49:22 Why doesn't that surprise me?
00:49:27 I was thinking, sir. . .
00:49:30 . . .he might be more valuable to us
00:49:35 You were supposed to kill him. . .
00:49:37 . . .weren't you?
00:49:39 I couldn't get close enough.
00:50:01 Who are you?
00:50:03 My name's Clark.
00:50:05 Postal Carrier
00:50:08 Who are you?
00:50:15 Postmaster Ford Lincoln Mercury.
00:50:26 It's an honor.
00:50:31 Wait!
00:50:34 Wait a minute.
00:50:41 You two don't know each other?
00:50:50 This'll never be over.
00:50:53 It'll go on.
00:50:56 Except I'll be fighting
00:50:59 -Should we fire, sir?
00:51:03 I won't fight a ghost.
00:51:07 Tabula...
00:51:09 ...rasa...
00:51:10 . . .gentlemen.
00:51:12 A clean slate.
00:51:15 I want all mail carriers hunted down.
00:51:19 I want The Postman found.
00:51:21 I want him dealt with.
00:51:24 Colonel, organize the scouts.
00:51:27 You said he rode west?
00:51:34 And this is his second-in-command?
00:51:40 Yes, sir!
00:51:53 I'll keep you to bargain with.
00:52:45 Set your rifle on the ground!
00:52:48 Set it on the ground.
00:52:51 What? This old thing?
00:52:55 It isn't even loaded.
00:52:57 Where are we?
00:52:59 You're in Bridge City. . .
00:53:03 . . .where we don't allow guns.
00:53:15 The sentry said you were coming.
00:53:25 I know you. You're. . .
00:53:27 . . .famous.
00:53:30 I was once. . .
00:53:31 . . .sort of. . .
00:53:32 . . .kind of.
00:53:34 Not anymore.
00:53:36 Looking to cross?
00:53:38 We will be.
00:53:40 Right now we'd appreciate some food.
00:53:44 Okay.
00:53:47 There are some kids behind us.
00:53:48 How many?
00:53:49 3.
00:53:51 3. Okay.
00:53:56 Come on in, guys!
00:54:00 I know you're out there.
00:55:10 -Wait. Just wait.
00:55:14 Hold on. He says. . .
00:55:16 . . .he's looking for The Postman.
00:55:19 There's no such thing anymore.
00:55:24 The man on the horse says there is.
00:55:28 He thinks he's here.
00:55:30 And he's coming back with friends.
00:55:37 What's a postman?
00:55:56 You never heard of a postman?
00:56:33 Are you The Postman?
00:56:40 Yeah.
00:56:42 I heard of you, man.
00:56:45 You're famous.
00:56:48 Yeah, I guess I am.
00:56:51 And all of a sudden,
00:56:54 . . .wearing the right clothes.
00:57:09 Man, you're going to love this!
00:57:12 Open that second chute, bro!
00:57:31 You have a gift, Postman.
00:57:34 I saw it back in Pineview.
00:57:39 You've given us all back
00:57:44 You made Mrs. March feel like
00:57:48 You made Ford feel like
00:57:54 You give out hope like it was. . .
00:57:57 . . .candy in your pocket.
00:58:14 Remember this?
00:58:17 I remember.
00:58:20 I always like to think
00:58:28 This is hard for me.
00:58:34 Michael was the best man I ever knew.
00:58:40 I never thought there'd be another man
00:58:47 I couldn't see it for so long.
00:58:52 And now you're leaving.
00:58:58 And I'm afraid.
00:59:03 I'm afraid you'll never
00:59:06 It's not important.
00:59:07 I'm afraid you'll never
00:59:37 I need full power, man!
00:59:45 This thing's working perfect, man!
00:59:59 A lot higher than it looks, huh?
01:00:10 You nearly went.
01:00:14 Get in.
01:00:17 There's 3 good-sized towns up ahead. . .
01:00:19 . . .with enough people to help you
01:00:26 Don't tell anybody. . .
01:00:28 . . .I like to ride this damn thing
01:00:31 Being a city official
01:00:42 Trust me, man.
01:00:51 How do I stop?
01:00:53 Quit worrying about the little things.
01:00:55 Good luck, and Godspeed.
01:01:13 Reporting for duty, sir!
01:01:15 -Know what to do?
01:01:17 Tell them
01:01:18 Tell them
01:01:21 "Once more unto the breach,
01:01:24 ...or close the wall with our dead!
01:01:27 In peace, nothing so becomes a man
01:01:31 But when the blast of war
01:01:34 ... then imitate
01:01:36 Summon up the blood.
01:01:40 ...and lend the eye
01:02:25 -Who are they?
01:02:27 Looks like mostly women
01:02:30 How many?
01:02:31 It's an army.
01:02:43 At last. . .
01:02:45 . . .someone with courage enough
01:02:52 Reckoning, gentlemen!
01:03:45 They're an eager-Iooking bunch!
01:04:14 Morale is a dangerous thing.
01:04:19 Bring up the prisoner!
01:04:21 We'll show them
01:05:04 Stay here.
01:05:19 Is he surrendering?
01:05:20 God, I hope not.
01:05:43 My little shipping clerk.
01:05:45 Mr. copy-machine salesman.
01:05:48 We're both a couple of frauds.
01:05:52 So be it.
01:05:55 But great men are made
01:05:59 Patton had Rommel.
01:06:00 Grant had Lee.
01:06:03 But I get you.
01:06:05 You're no general.
01:06:07 You're not even a good painter.
01:06:11 Trying to goad me
01:06:13 It'd be great if wars were fought
01:06:18 We could settle this right here. . .
01:06:20 . . .you and me.
01:06:24 Unfortunately,
01:06:26 But it does in your army.
01:06:28 I invoke Law Seven. . .
01:06:31 . . .of the Laws of Eight!
01:06:34 "Any man may challenge
01:06:38 I challenge you.
01:06:39 You're not a Holnist. You're not
01:06:43 I have every right!
01:06:51 I invoke Law Seven.
01:06:53 Where. . .?
01:07:17 I challenge. . .
01:07:18 . . .for leadership of the clan!
01:07:20 Where do I know you from?
01:07:22 "Cry havoc. . .
01:07:24 . . .and let slip the dogs of war"
01:07:27 You remember that?
01:07:31 Shakespeare.
01:07:33 The one who didn't want to fight.
01:07:36 I should have found a way to kill you
01:07:41 Law Seven. . .
01:07:43 . . .it is!
01:07:45 This war is settled here!
01:09:11 I studied people.
01:09:14 I know your problem.
01:09:16 Do you know. . .
01:09:18 . . .why you can't fight?
01:09:22 Because you have nothing
01:09:28 You don't care about anything.
01:09:30 You don't value anything.
01:09:33 You don't believe in anything!
01:09:36 And that's what makes me better.
01:09:41 I believe. . .
01:09:43 . . .in the United States.
01:10:23 It doesn't have to be this way.
01:10:26 We don't have to kill each other.
01:10:31 "Law Three:
01:10:33 Mercy. . .
01:10:34 . . .is for the weak. "
01:10:36 Ford, don't!
01:10:38 "Law Eight:
01:10:40 There's only one penalty. . .
01:10:43 . . .and that penalty is death. "
01:10:50 He isn't worth it.
01:10:55 I'm the head of the clan now!
01:10:59 There are going to be new laws!
01:11:03 Law One:
01:11:06 No more killing.
01:11:08 There's going to be peace!
01:11:27 How about it, Ford Lincoln Mercury?
01:11:35 Be a leader, Ford.
01:11:39 Law Eight:
01:11:46 Live. . .
01:11:47 . . .and let live.
01:13:10 Your daddy wrote to tell you. . .
01:13:12 . . .he'll be here as soon as he can. . .
01:13:14 . . .and that he loves you very much.
01:13:25 Mail's slow.
01:13:27 I'm going to have to see about that.
01:14:00 Your daughter.
01:14:04 Her name is Hope.
01:14:35 My father saw how fragile we are...
01:14:38 . . .and how quickly we fell
01:14:42 He saw that ordinary men. . .
01:14:44 . . .could reach deep within themselves
01:14:47 He saw that if we began to communicate
01:14:51 . . .we could become strong again. . .
01:14:53 . . .united.
01:14:55 But he never did see St. Rose.
01:14:59 He said. . .
01:15:01 . . .there was too much to be done.
01:15:04 He'd made a promise.
01:15:06 And in keeping it,
01:15:10 With no regrets.
01:15:15 And so, in honor of my father. . . .
01:15:54 That was me.
