0:02:14 > 0:02:19'My father was an inventor - a genius with anything mechanical.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23'Nine patents, six pending.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26'He dropped out of Harvard. "To get an education", he said.

0:02:26 > 0:02:32'I believed he owned the world, and that all he said was true.'

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Look! How did America get this way?

0:02:35 > 0:02:42Land of promise and opportunity! Give us the wretched refuse of your shores!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Have a coke! Watch TV! - Have a nice day!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Go on welfare... Get free money!

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Turn to crime! Crime pays here.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Why do they put up with it?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Why do they keep coming?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Look around you. This place is a toilet!

0:03:09 > 0:03:18The whole damned country could turn into a door-locking danger zone, full of scavengers and moral scum

0:03:18 > 0:03:21and nobody would think to leave.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26- I- do! I think about it every day.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30I want eight feet of rubber seal with foam backing.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35This country's going to the dogs!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37And nobody cares!

0:03:37 > 0:03:42"I just work here" - that's the attitude!

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Buy junk, sell junk, eat junk...

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- 3.99.- I don't want it. - You asked for it.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- You work for the Japanese? - If you don't want it, just say so.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57I just said so. Look! "Made in Japan."

0:03:57 > 0:04:01I don't want my hard-earned dollars converted into yen!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Do you work here?

0:04:04 > 0:04:10OK, we'll get it some place else! This is not the only place in town. Goodbye!

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Maybe I should have said "sayonara"!

0:04:16 > 0:04:21I'll tell you, Charlie, I'm not going back into Hatfield.

0:04:21 > 0:04:27I'm sick of dealing with people who want things I've rejected - things on TV!

0:04:27 > 0:04:32They talk about nuclear destruction as if it were a game show topic!

0:04:38 > 0:04:45'All winter, Father had been saying, "There's going to be a war here." "It's coming", he said.

0:04:45 > 0:04:52'He said the signs were all over - in the high prices, the bad tempers and the greed of the people.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56'"Bloody crimes went unpunished", he said.

0:04:56 > 0:05:02'This war would be different, and no side would be innocent.'

0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's like a human's insides.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Entrails and vitals!

0:05:12 > 0:05:16You see, that's its digestive system,

0:05:16 > 0:05:21circulatory system, respiration - lungs -

0:05:21 > 0:05:24fatty tissue, kidneys...

0:05:25 > 0:05:28The ammonia, that's its plasma!

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Got it?

0:05:30 > 0:05:34But, Dad... What is it?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's perfection. That's what it is!

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Where is he? SHE MOUTHS SILENTLY

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- 'Mrs Fox?' - He's not here right now, Mr Polski.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03He had to go to Hatfield to get a...a part for something.

0:06:03 > 0:06:10I can see his truck! He's supposed to be here, rigging up a cooling system for the barn!

0:06:10 > 0:06:14My asparagus is rotting! Tell him to get here!

0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Something about a cooling system? - I've got something much better!

0:06:22 > 0:06:27I'm going to knock his socks off and straighten his hair, honey!

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Where've you been?

0:06:47 > 0:06:52- About half a glass of water. - What is this?

0:06:52 > 0:06:57- Got a match?- My asparagus is rotting, and you ask me for a match!

0:06:57 > 0:07:01If it wouldn't be too much trouble!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Mr Fox!

0:07:07 > 0:07:12Jerry, why won't he answer me? I don't know!

0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Now he cooks a glass of water! What is that thing?- It's my baby!

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- My baby boy! - THE MACHINE RUMBLES

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Fat Boy! That's what we'll call it!

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- < This is foolishness!- Patience!

0:07:36 > 0:07:40I've got work to do! THE MACHINE BLASTS

0:07:47 > 0:07:50C'mon, Doc! Take a look!

0:07:59 > 0:08:07- Oh, boy! Ain't that something? - But how did I do it? Where's the electricity?- Kerosene!

0:08:07 > 0:08:12- You mean I made ice out of fire? - Yeah...so it seems.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Let's see how it works. - No! Here.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18This is just a model!

0:08:18 > 0:08:21I'm going to build you a huge one!

0:08:21 > 0:08:26I'm in the asparagus business, not the inventing business!

0:08:26 > 0:08:31But, Doc, I can preserve the excess with Fat Boy, here!

0:08:31 > 0:08:37- It's too small.- It's a scale model! - It's ingenious, Mr Fox. That's why I hired you!

0:08:37 > 0:08:43I also hired you to do what I ask - to provide a simple cooling system in the barn!

0:08:43 > 0:08:48Not to go off with crazy schemes, inventing contraptions in MY time!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Now, PLEASE...!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53To work!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56What is this? It's not a rest period!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59He didn't like it very much, Dad.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04He hated it. Positively hated it!

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Absolute contempt! But I'm glad of that.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13That's what gets me cooking! What if he'd liked it?

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Then I'd have gone back to bed!

0:09:27 > 0:09:31We'll just be a couple of minutes.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Migrant workers.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Polski's PIs!

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Right out of the jungle. Didn't know when they were well-off.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'd trade places with them any day.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00D'you know what they've got down there?

0:10:00 > 0:10:07Geothermal energy! All the juice they need, 5,000 feet under the surface.

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Imagine the problems they have in the jungle without refrigeration.

0:10:16 > 0:10:24If they saw an ice cube, they'd probably think it was... a diamond or jewel of some kind.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Ice...is civilization!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I want to show you something.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08- They call this 'the monkey-house'. - Who do?- Kids.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Don't let me hear you call it that.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Poor people. Look at what they own.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19- They don't even eat the asparagus they cut!- We shouldn't be here.

0:11:19 > 0:11:26They welcome visitors! Be kind to strangers - you never know when you might be one yourself.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- That's the law of the jungle. - But this isn't the jungle, Dad!

0:11:31 > 0:11:36No, because no jungle is as murderous and fallen as this is.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41They trade green trees for this. It's pathetic, and it makes me mad.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45They'll end up being part of the problem.

0:11:55 > 0:12:00- It would take courage to go there. - Go where?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03The jungle.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Not ordinary gumption...

0:12:08 > 0:12:11but four in the morning courage.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15And who's got that?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Thanks.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Oops!

0:12:39 > 0:12:42What is it?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Something's going to happen.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Like what?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Something terrible.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57When you're young, the world is a strange place.

0:12:57 > 0:13:04- You start to worry about it. - But Dad's not young, and HE'S worried.

0:13:04 > 0:13:10He's always like that before a new invention. He's got a lot on his mind.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13But something IS going to happen.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Something good!

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Good night.- Sleep tight!

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- TRUCK HORN BEEPS - Hey, boys!

0:13:31 > 0:13:36- Give me a hand!- What's that? - I've got something for you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40- You're going to love this! - Is that right?- Yeah.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45I need four men. Grab that thing with wheels.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48EXCITED VOICES >

0:13:48 > 0:13:53- We're not allowed to go in. - What's going on in there?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20< You're not...

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Hey, Charlie's here!

0:14:23 > 0:14:28Your father's a great man. He's my father, too!

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Charlie, I want you to do something. Take this and give it to Polski.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38- I'll take it, Dad. I'm dressed! - Charlie's the oldest. He's doing it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42This is an historic occasion!

0:14:56 > 0:15:01"I'm not only quitting this job, but also this ruin of a country.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04"Good luck, Doc. You'll need it."

0:15:08 > 0:15:13Your father is the worst kind of pain-in-the-neck.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16A know-it-all who's sometimes right!

0:15:16 > 0:15:20He's a dangerous man, Charlie. You tell him that!

0:15:20 > 0:15:25One of these days he's going to get you all killed!

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Take a picture of me! - Don't waste film!

0:15:30 > 0:15:35- Leave those!- It's only the breakfast things.- Leave them!

0:15:35 > 0:15:43- Mother! Come on! - What about all the books, Dad? - If it's not in the pile, it stays!

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Girls in the back!- Can I ride back here?- No, it's not safe.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05# Under the bam! Under the boo! Under the bamboo tree.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08# Two live as one

0:16:08 > 0:16:09# One lives as two

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Hi! I'm Reverend Gurney Spellgood.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48You can call me Gurney.

0:16:48 > 0:16:53Mrs Fox, I'm Captain Smalls. Come on, I'll get you a seat.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57The sea around us, the earth beneath.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Jeedoof! - Amen. - Amen!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Mrs Fox!

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- The Captain first, Reverend! - "The last shall be first"!

0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Some!- Pardon?- "SOME of the last who will be first", Luke.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Oh, I was quoting Matthew!

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Matthew says "many", not "some".

0:17:27 > 0:17:31You certainly understand my mission, Mr Fox!

0:17:31 > 0:17:35And a good knowledge of the Scriptures, too!

0:17:35 > 0:17:39I've tinkered with the Bible. It doesn't work.

0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Is it your first visit to Mosquitia? - Actually, we're planning to stay.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Stay?- Uh-huh.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58- The whole country's in the Stone Age.- Sounds perfect!

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Ah, Mr Fox! I've got a gift for you.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12It's the latest - the Blue Jeans Bible.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18A psychologist designed it.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Hey, kids, this is what I was warning you about.

0:18:21 > 0:18:29"Of making many books, there is no end. Much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecclesiastes.

0:18:29 > 0:18:35"There are many rooms in my Father's house, but I am the door."

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Well, don't slam it on the way out!

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- God forgive you!- Have a nice day!

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Thank you, brother!

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Hi!

0:19:03 > 0:19:07It's a whole lot hotter than this in the jungle!

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- You've never been there?- No.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17We're from Baltimore.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20I study communication at school.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I hate school! It's so boring!

0:19:25 > 0:19:27So, what's your favourite band?

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Mine's The Executioners. I love the lead guitarist!

0:19:31 > 0:19:36Your father's a missionary. You don't live in Baltimore.

0:19:36 > 0:19:43My father has two churches. One's in Guampu, and one's in Baltimore. It's a drive-in.

0:19:43 > 0:19:51- What kind of drive-in? - There's only one kind! You know, outdoors? With cars?

0:19:51 > 0:19:53God, you're stupid!

0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, what does your old man do?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05My father's an inventor.

0:20:05 > 0:20:11He invented this sort of mechanical mop. It works all by itself.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Weird!- My father's a genius!

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Charlie... Do you have a girlfriend?

0:20:24 > 0:20:27No.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31I could be your girlfriend... if you want.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36I think about you when I go to the bathroom!

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- You bought a town?- A small town.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Well, where is it?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Well?

0:23:52 > 0:23:57Jeronimo! It's too shallow to go up there.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02Well, Mr Haddy, we'll just have to experiment!

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Why you go to Jeronimo? - We bought it!

0:24:05 > 0:24:08We ran out of room in America!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Here, let me take the wheel.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Against regulations! - What regulations?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's MY launch!

0:24:19 > 0:24:21I steer, you passenger!

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Hello!

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Them's Zambus! - Ask them where we are.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32- It's Jeronimo!- This is it! Jeronimo!

0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Where?- Stay there, girls!

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Haddy, get ready on the bow line.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Can we help you? - I've been looking for you!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Help your mother!

0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Can you see the town yet, Allie? - Yes!

0:27:05 > 0:27:08It's perfect! Perfect!

0:27:08 > 0:27:13Everything we need is here! Right here!

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Starting from scratch!

0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Oh, Allie! - This is what I've dreamed about.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33Don't look at me like that, Mother! This is life, not a vacation!

0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Can you see it, Charlie?- No, Dad.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Can YOU see it, Mother? - See what, Allie?

0:27:43 > 0:27:49- A beautiful house, right in front of you! - Me no see no house!

0:27:49 > 0:27:54This could be for the kitchen. That could be the wash-house!

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Build a platform above it all!

0:27:57 > 0:28:02It's like the hub of a wheel, with the crops radiating out.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06We'll have to drain that swamp.

0:28:06 > 0:28:13Pump the river water up for the fish farm! Slash the area for growing land!

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Perhaps if I hit them...

0:28:27 > 0:28:30..and you take them out, OK?

0:28:42 > 0:28:47- Dad, there's a big pile of cut wood here.- Wood or lumber?- Lumber!

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Girls, come and have a look!

0:28:50 > 0:28:53What wonderful old treasures!

0:28:53 > 0:28:56You take that beauty.

0:29:03 > 0:29:08- Quick! SCREAMING - Where is she?

0:29:10 > 0:29:15- It's all right! - Leeches and tigers all over!

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- And huge baboons!- OK, Mr Haddy!

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Oh, my God!

0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Look at you!- Me?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Look at YOU!

0:29:50 > 0:29:56JUNGLE ECHOES WITH ANIMAL AND BIRD CRIES

0:29:56 > 0:29:59What's that?

0:30:00 > 0:30:04I miss my home in America.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Me too! Yeah!

0:30:08 > 0:30:12We all do. Now, who wants some orange?

0:30:13 > 0:30:17Nobody loves America more than I do, you know.

0:30:17 > 0:30:22That's why we left, because I couldn't bear to watch.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25You kids have got to understand.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28It's like when my mother died.

0:30:28 > 0:30:35She was strong as an ox - fell down and broke her hip, then caught double pneumonia.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40She was dying. I went to see her. And what did she say?

0:30:41 > 0:30:46- IN CROAKY VOICE: - Why don't you poison me?

0:30:52 > 0:30:55I couldn't listen, so I went away.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00People said it was the height of callousness.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03It's not true.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07I loved her too much to watch her die.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16I'm not here to boss you around.

0:31:16 > 0:31:21I'm here to work for you. If I'm not working hard enough, tell me.

0:31:21 > 0:31:29You come up and say, "You got to do a lot better!" and I will!

0:31:29 > 0:31:33Where do you want to begin? You tell me!

0:31:33 > 0:31:38Fish farm? Chicken run? What? You tell me.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47- OLD MAN COUGHS - Right!

0:31:48 > 0:31:52You want to plant first? Sensible!

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Come along! We've got it all worked out!

0:31:56 > 0:32:03Go to your assigned row according to the colours you were told earlier.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Pumpkin seeds. They go this far apart.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14- How are you doing, Charlie? - All right, Dad.

0:32:14 > 0:32:22Right now in America someone's throwing an electric squeezer out, saying it doesn't work.

0:32:22 > 0:32:27- Someone's eating chocolate soup! - Is that right, Father?- Yes, Francis.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30That's why I'm here.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32That's why I came.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38TAPPING >

0:32:46 > 0:32:51ALLIE WHISTLES AND HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:32:55 > 0:33:00'It was not an easy life, those first weeks in Jeronimo.

0:33:00 > 0:33:05'It was no coconut kingdom of free fruit and grass huts.'

0:33:05 > 0:33:10Watch the strings, kids! Good morning, ladies!

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Get up! I need this tent taken down.

0:33:13 > 0:33:18'This was work and a routine that took up every daylight hour.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25'In Hatfield, we had done pretty much what we pleased. Here, things were different.'

0:33:28 > 0:33:33Have you got some flooring up there?

0:33:33 > 0:33:38Charlie, you're supposed to have the flooring up here!

0:33:50 > 0:33:55It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence of obsolescence.

0:33:55 > 0:34:02We accept that things fall apart, but they don't have to! They need to last forever!

0:34:02 > 0:34:07We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty...

0:34:07 > 0:34:15Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need! It's wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

0:34:15 > 0:34:19In New York, people kill for a quarter!

0:34:19 > 0:34:22You don't dare take a walk! Think!

0:34:22 > 0:34:27Ten-year-old homicidal maniacs on every street corner!

0:34:27 > 0:34:29They go to school! Huh!

0:34:32 > 0:34:40- The problem with... - CHAINSAW DROWNS OUT HIS RANTINGS

0:34:50 > 0:34:53..and a 2 loaf of bread!

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Good!

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Great! You'll be my fish farmer!

0:35:02 > 0:35:07We're going to breed all the fish we need to eat right here!

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Just scoop 'em up and into the pot!

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Get all of this cleared up, all right?

0:35:16 > 0:35:18How am I doing, boy?

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Fine, Dad.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as invention.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48- It's just... - BLOW-TORCH DROWNS HIM OUT

0:35:48 > 0:35:52'Father often talked of things being revealed.

0:35:52 > 0:35:58'True invention was magnifying something's use, improving its imperfections

0:35:58 > 0:36:02'and putting it to work for you.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05'God had left the world incomplete.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09'It was man's job to finish it, he'd say.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12'I think that's why he hated missionaries.

0:36:12 > 0:36:18'They taught people to put up with their earthly burdens.

0:36:18 > 0:36:24'For Father, all earthly burdens could be fitted with a pulley!'

0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Dad!- What have you got, girls? - Can you fix it?

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Yeah, I can get this going.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48Don't just sit there, honey - pedal!

0:36:48 > 0:36:52No need to worry about these kids' education, Mother!

0:36:53 > 0:36:57This is the education they need.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01This is the kind of education every American should have gotten.

0:37:01 > 0:37:07When America's laid to waste by nuclear holocaust, THESE skills will save them.

0:37:07 > 0:37:12Not finger-painting or "What is the capital of Texas?"

0:37:12 > 0:37:15..But survival!

0:37:15 > 0:37:20Rebuilding a civilization from a smoking ruin!

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Spearmint!

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Charlie, it's Mr Haddy!

0:37:31 > 0:37:36Hi! How're you doing? Good to see you!

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Yes, I have it for you! For you!

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Oh, Mr Haddy!

0:37:46 > 0:37:50I'm going to put cuffs on them, OK?

0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Hello, Mr Peaselee! - Hello, ma'am!

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Can I help?

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Oh!

0:38:08 > 0:38:12It's a nice yellow, isn't it?

0:38:12 > 0:38:15I surely like this colour!

0:38:36 > 0:38:37Mr Fox!

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Mr Fox! >

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- A very good morning to you! - Oh, God!

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Well done, Foxes! Well done!

0:38:56 > 0:39:01- Mrs Kennywick! Is that you? - Yes, sir, Father.

0:39:01 > 0:39:06Now, we haven't seen you in God's house in quite a while!

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Jeedoof to you.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Jeedoof!

0:39:19 > 0:39:26- What can we do for you, Reverend? - Word has spread of your doings. I thought I'd look in.

0:39:26 > 0:39:31- Mrs Fox, how nice to see you! - Hello.- I love your parrot!

0:39:31 > 0:39:37- That's Arthur.- Oh! I brought some preserves from Aurora.

0:39:37 > 0:39:42- Oh! Will you thank her for me? - Papaya and yams, I believe.

0:39:44 > 0:39:49- State your business, Reverend. - It's the Lord's business I'm about!

0:39:49 > 0:39:53I didn't know the Lord was franchising round here!

0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Perhaps some cold tea, Allie! - Mother...

0:39:57 > 0:40:01The Lord sent me here, Mr Fox!

0:40:01 > 0:40:06That's what I love about you - a complete lack of presumption(!)

0:40:06 > 0:40:14- If the Lord knew this place existed, he'd have done something for these people! But he didn't!- Allie!

0:40:14 > 0:40:20- This river doesn't belong to you. - Nor you! But this place belongs to me!

0:40:20 > 0:40:23This man cannot speak...

0:40:23 > 0:40:26for you good folk!

0:40:26 > 0:40:32- The Lord is your Father! - I'm a fair man!

0:40:32 > 0:40:39If any of you want to go with this man, I won't stop you! Any takers?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49And Pharoah said...

0:40:49 > 0:40:58And Pharoah said, "Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice,

0:40:58 > 0:41:01"and let YOU, Israel, go?

0:41:01 > 0:41:07"I know not the Lord, and neither will I let Israel go!"

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Exodus V.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Now get off my land!

0:41:30 > 0:41:33THUNDER RUMBLES

0:41:53 > 0:41:58'What Father had promised that first day in Jeronimo

0:41:58 > 0:42:03'was now there for all to see. It was all as he predicted,

0:42:03 > 0:42:06'and more orderly and happier than we had imagined.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10'He called this notch in the jungle a superior civilisation.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13'He said it was just how America might have been.'

0:42:13 > 0:42:18GUITAR MUSIC AND BABBLE OF VOICES

0:42:24 > 0:42:28One...two...three...Jeronimo!

0:42:28 > 0:42:31One...two...three...

0:42:31 > 0:42:34..JERONIMO!

0:42:54 > 0:43:00- When they come we'll say "Happy Thanksgiving", OK? - Happy Thanksgiving!

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Dad, you look...nice!

0:43:03 > 0:43:08TWINS: - You look funny! - No, he looks nice!

0:43:08 > 0:43:10You look great, Mom!

0:43:14 > 0:43:17This is the life!

0:43:24 > 0:43:29Our first Thanksgiving in the New World!

0:43:30 > 0:43:33- Let's eat!- This looks really good!

0:43:33 > 0:43:38- Can I have some meat, Dad?- After your mother! Leg, honey?- Please.

0:43:51 > 0:43:52Bye!

0:43:52 > 0:43:57- Bye, everybody!- Bye, Dad! See you!

0:43:57 > 0:43:58Ready?

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Bye, darling!

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Come on!

0:44:20 > 0:44:23THE CHILDREN GIGGLE

0:44:27 > 0:44:32Let me lead the way! I know this jungle!

0:44:58 > 0:45:04# Silent night, holy night

0:45:04 > 0:45:09# All is calm, all is bright... #

0:45:09 > 0:45:13Right, we buy our food from the store!

0:45:13 > 0:45:16We'll use those nuts as a bank.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18A dollar each!

0:45:18 > 0:45:23- I want to buy some food. > - Do you have any money?

0:45:23 > 0:45:27- Ain't got none. - Well, start digging!

0:45:27 > 0:45:33- I'll be the school teacher! We can get Dad to help us.- No!

0:45:33 > 0:45:38Dad wouldn't understand. Don't tell Dad or anyone about Acre.

0:45:38 > 0:45:43- Why?- Because it's our secret. No-one else can know!

0:45:43 > 0:45:47- Your father can do magic. - No, science.

0:45:47 > 0:45:52- Science is worse!- No! Father could have made a fortune inventing.

0:45:52 > 0:45:58How come he ain't rich? Because he wanted to come here!

0:45:58 > 0:46:03- And he said there'd be nuclear war. - You're all wrong.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09MEN CHANT RHYTHMICALLY

0:46:23 > 0:46:26THEY SING

0:46:31 > 0:46:38'Father told us he was making a monster. "I'm Dr Frankenstein", he'd say.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41'He called one set of pipes 'lungs',

0:46:41 > 0:46:44'and another its 'poop shaft'.

0:46:44 > 0:46:48'He always spoke of it as 'he'.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51'"He needs a gizzard today",

0:46:51 > 0:46:55'or "This will fit onto his liver".'

0:47:35 > 0:47:38GAS HISSES OUT

0:48:36 > 0:48:41Mother, I want you by my side! History is being made here today!

0:48:41 > 0:48:44Jerry, have you got the camera?

0:48:44 > 0:48:48Everybody in position? Leon?

0:48:48 > 0:48:53You're the youngest. You'll remember this longest.

0:48:53 > 0:48:57Drainy? Er, excuse us...

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Everybody in, Drainy? OK, smile!

0:49:09 > 0:49:12CAMERA CLICKS

0:49:26 > 0:49:31MACHINE STARTS TO RUMBLE

0:49:35 > 0:49:38He's waking up.

0:49:39 > 0:49:42LOUD GURGLING

0:50:06 > 0:50:10This is no miracle. This is thermodynamics!

0:50:12 > 0:50:15HADDY: It's risky, Mother!

0:50:15 > 0:50:20It's all right. Allie knows what he's doing.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31- What's that?- Never seen a snowball?

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Ice from fire!

0:50:36 > 0:50:39- Francis! - It's cold water, Father!

0:50:39 > 0:50:43And air-conditioning!

0:50:43 > 0:50:47Cool down your house, get a good night's sleep...

0:50:47 > 0:50:52Ice is civilization! That's why I'm here!

0:50:52 > 0:50:55EVERYONE CHEERS AND LAUGHS

0:51:28 > 0:51:33'Fat Boy looked like a miracle to the local Zambus.

0:51:33 > 0:51:38'A kind of ice-market was established - all for free.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43'But Father was restless.

0:51:43 > 0:51:48'It was all too easy now, and everyone took ice for granted.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52'Francis told him of an Indian tribe.

0:51:52 > 0:51:57'They'd never seen missionaries, and had certainly never seen ice.

0:51:57 > 0:52:02'These were the pure people he'd talked of.

0:52:02 > 0:52:06'They would see the ice as a jewel, and be amazed.'

0:52:06 > 0:52:11Keep going! Don't give up on me, boys!

0:52:15 > 0:52:19NOISE OF RAIN OBSCURES COMMENTS

0:52:35 > 0:52:39Put it down if you have to! Put it down!

0:52:43 > 0:52:46OK, Charlie. Hold it up here.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48Come on up! Come on!

0:52:58 > 0:53:02Don't get your legs underneath.

0:53:02 > 0:53:05THEY GRUNT AND PANT

0:53:08 > 0:53:11Come on, Jerry!

0:53:18 > 0:53:21THE RAIN HAS STOPPED

0:53:26 > 0:53:30Just over this ridge. It's all downhill.

0:53:33 > 0:53:38- What's the matter with you guys? - We'll have to go home in the dark!

0:53:38 > 0:53:42Home? Not till we've delivered this ice!

0:54:08 > 0:54:10All right...

0:54:10 > 0:54:13All right, we'll camp here.

0:54:21 > 0:54:24So, where are we going to sleep?

0:54:24 > 0:54:27Why, right over there!

0:54:27 > 0:54:30Over the street at the Holiday Inn!

0:54:30 > 0:54:37You lounge by the pool while I fix us some rooms. Do you want a king-size bed?

0:54:37 > 0:54:40I sure hope there's a colour TV!

0:54:40 > 0:54:44Want a few quarters for the jukebox, Jerry?

0:54:45 > 0:54:50I'm so sick of this whining! Pull yourself together! Be a man!

0:54:59 > 0:55:02(Come on, Jerry. It's all right.)

0:55:02 > 0:55:05There goes Charlie to get a Fudgsicle!

0:55:05 > 0:55:12- I'm looking for some wood to build a lean-to! - Charlie'll show us how!

0:55:12 > 0:55:15< Charlie know how?

0:55:26 > 0:55:29FIRE SPITS AND CRACKLES

0:55:31 > 0:55:35Put out that fire! You're melting my ice.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04What are you looking at?

0:56:06 > 0:56:13This is the first time since Creation that ice has melted here. Think about it!

0:56:36 > 0:56:38Come on!

0:56:45 > 0:56:48Charlie, give me the bag!

0:56:48 > 0:56:51I brought for you... Present!

0:56:51 > 0:56:56Move slowly. We're the first white men they've seen.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02Present! Wonderful!

0:57:02 > 0:57:05Mysterious present!

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Come here! Come! Look!

0:57:08 > 0:57:10Look!

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Look!

0:57:14 > 0:57:17Wait till you see this.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28I don't believe this!

0:57:28 > 0:57:33It was... This was ice!

0:57:33 > 0:57:36- Go away!- Wait a minute!

0:57:36 > 0:57:40Do you know how hard it was to get here?

0:57:40 > 0:57:44Go away! We go, Father!

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Have you ever seen or touched ice?

0:57:47 > 0:57:51(Dad! Dad! There's a white man.)

0:57:51 > 0:57:56- (There's a white man in there.) - (Take my bag.)

0:57:56 > 0:57:58Nice place you got!

0:57:58 > 0:58:01Living close to nature!

0:58:02 > 0:58:03Nice!

0:58:08 > 0:58:10So, er...

0:58:10 > 0:58:14My dad's an inventor. He invented this big ice machine!

0:58:14 > 0:58:18- It makes ice! - Yeah! Big pieces!

0:58:18 > 0:58:22Ice can be used for a number of things.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25- Cold water!- Keeping your food fresh!

0:58:25 > 0:58:32Great painkiller! And it keeps you cool on hot days. Ice is civilization!

0:58:32 > 0:58:36That's why he's here.

0:58:38 > 0:58:43Wonderful view here! Thank you! We'll be back.

0:58:43 > 0:58:47We'll bring you some ice! We'll be back!

0:58:52 > 0:58:55Thank you! Bye!

0:58:57 > 0:59:00- Don't stop!- What were they doing?

0:59:00 > 0:59:03Captured! Three guys... Prisoners!

0:59:03 > 0:59:08They've got a plan to escape. I told them to follow our trail.

0:59:08 > 0:59:11They thought we were missionaries!

0:59:31 > 0:59:34What is it, Dad?

0:59:36 > 0:59:38Allie.

0:59:38 > 0:59:43I'm so glad you're back. They all went away with him.

0:59:43 > 0:59:46There was nothing I could do!

0:59:46 > 0:59:50Spellgood was raving - talking about hell-fire!

0:59:50 > 0:59:55- TWIN: They said we were Communists. - We're not, honey.

0:59:55 > 1:00:02It's just jealousy and envy. You build something up and people want to take it away.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15Who do that?

1:00:21 > 1:00:24FRANCIS HUMS TO HIMSELF

1:00:35 > 1:00:38A GUN IS COCKED

1:00:44 > 1:00:46Father!

1:00:47 > 1:00:49What? What, Francis?

1:00:50 > 1:00:57- Talk to me. Tell me what's going on. - FRANCIS SPEAKS IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE

1:00:57 > 1:00:59Calmly, Francis!

1:00:59 > 1:01:03HE CONTINUES TO SPEAK QUICKLY

1:01:03 > 1:01:06- Dad, what's wrong?- I don't know!

1:01:06 > 1:01:09- Three men! Guns!- I don't see anyone.

1:01:09 > 1:01:12Three men! Here!

1:01:12 > 1:01:14Allie!

1:01:23 > 1:01:28< TOILET FLUSHES Que lujo tienes (!)

1:01:30 > 1:01:32Arriba!

1:01:36 > 1:01:41We didn't think we would find you.

1:01:41 > 1:01:47- Where are your Zambus?- Gone! I didn't get a chance to tell them you were friendly.

1:01:47 > 1:01:52- Probably dipping their arrows in poison right now. Right?- Yeah.

1:01:54 > 1:01:56Where are you going?

1:01:58 > 1:02:01The coast is only a day from here.

1:02:01 > 1:02:03I'll make you a map.

1:02:03 > 1:02:09Take the cayuka down at the river. It's yours! You'd like it there.

1:02:10 > 1:02:12We like it HERE!

1:02:12 > 1:02:17I wish there was some place for you to stay, but we're...

1:02:17 > 1:02:19..infested with ants!

1:02:21 > 1:02:26They're in everything. We've got to tear everything down - burn it!

1:02:28 > 1:02:30Charlie!

1:02:30 > 1:02:36I told you to take Maywit's shack down! Don't run! Don't run!

1:02:38 > 1:02:42Take it down and stack it for burning.

1:02:43 > 1:02:46I don't see any ants.

1:02:46 > 1:02:50If you could see them, you could kill them!

1:02:52 > 1:02:57- Well, I've got a lot of work to do. - We look around.

1:02:59 > 1:03:03No, take the cayuka. It's yours! Go!

1:03:03 > 1:03:06We look around!

1:03:11 > 1:03:14Right! Look around!

1:03:14 > 1:03:17Look around...all you want!

1:03:32 > 1:03:35Me no see no ants, Father!

1:03:39 > 1:03:41Boy!

1:03:41 > 1:03:46When I make a mistake, I make a good one!

1:03:46 > 1:03:49I thought they were the Indians' prisoners.

1:04:02 > 1:04:05Are you comfortable?

1:04:05 > 1:04:08I mean, the reason I ask is...

1:04:08 > 1:04:12I'm going to have to ask you to get up.

1:04:12 > 1:04:14War on the ants! Total war!

1:04:14 > 1:04:18Charlie, bring the chainsaw! All this furniture...

1:04:18 > 1:04:22All these pads and things can be boiled!

1:04:22 > 1:04:30Get all this fabric and furniture. Excuse me! Hold that, please. Take this stuff off!

1:04:30 > 1:04:32All the furniture!

1:04:32 > 1:04:36- Excuse me, gentlemen! - CHAINSAW STARTS UP

1:04:36 > 1:04:39Get out of here!

1:04:39 > 1:04:44THE CHAINSAW DROWNS ALLIE OUT

1:04:48 > 1:04:51Do I have to burn every chair, Ma?

1:04:51 > 1:04:53Just put it on, Jerry!

1:04:53 > 1:04:56We've got termites, darling.

1:05:00 > 1:05:03Everything's got to go!

1:05:03 > 1:05:07It's the only way to get rid of them.

1:05:08 > 1:05:11(I can't see them.)

1:05:12 > 1:05:14(Maybe they've gone.)

1:05:58 > 1:06:03- They want some food. - God, we're stuck with them!

1:06:04 > 1:06:06Stuck with them?

1:06:06 > 1:06:09We're not stuck with anyone.

1:06:09 > 1:06:15No-one who has the slightest spark has to endure a moment's oppression.

1:06:15 > 1:06:18What are we going to do?

1:06:29 > 1:06:37Andamos! Pasamos una noche ya y eso es todo.

1:06:52 > 1:06:56Why aren't we sleeping in our hammocks?

1:06:56 > 1:07:01Because we've got guests tonight. You sleep tight, all right?

1:07:01 > 1:07:03OK?

1:07:09 > 1:07:11Excuse me!

1:07:28 > 1:07:30Ole!

1:07:38 > 1:07:40The bunkhouse is ready!

1:07:40 > 1:07:44Get your stuff together and we'll go!

1:07:44 > 1:07:47(What bunkhouse?)

1:07:51 > 1:07:54Well, it's not much...

1:07:54 > 1:07:57Just the basic necessities.

1:07:59 > 1:08:02But I'm sure you'll be comfortable.

1:08:05 > 1:08:07Breakfast? 7am?

1:08:07 > 1:08:10Eggs and bacon all round?

1:08:15 > 1:08:18Hecha una mirada ya atras. >

1:08:58 > 1:09:03(I can't do this alone. Get your shoes and follow me.)

1:09:40 > 1:09:45They're asleep. Climb up and shove this through the brackets on the access door.

1:09:47 > 1:09:52You must be VERY quiet. Can you do it?

1:09:53 > 1:09:55I guess so.

1:09:55 > 1:09:59You've got to be sure. You could get us killed.

1:10:01 > 1:10:03Can you do it?

1:10:04 > 1:10:07Yeah. I can do it.

1:11:41 > 1:11:44DOOR CLUNKS

1:12:17 > 1:12:20Don't pity those men, Charlie.

1:12:22 > 1:12:24Don't pity this insect.

1:12:24 > 1:12:27That's not his blood, it's MY blood.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34FAT BOY RUMBLES

1:12:45 > 1:12:49THE BANDITS SHOUT FOR HELP

1:12:49 > 1:12:54We gave them every chance to leave. If they lie down, they'll be fine.

1:12:54 > 1:12:59They won't feel a thing. In a few moments, they'll be frozen.

1:12:59 > 1:13:01ABRA!

1:13:04 > 1:13:10- Why you making ice this time of night for? - Everybody back!

1:13:10 > 1:13:13RAPID GUNSHOTS

1:13:13 > 1:13:17They should lie down! They'll put a hole in him!

1:13:21 > 1:13:25- No. - FAT BOY HISSES AND RUMBLES

1:13:25 > 1:13:26NO!

1:13:26 > 1:13:30- THE MEN SCREAM - NO!

1:13:40 > 1:13:44Mother! Mr Haddy! Get BACK!

1:13:44 > 1:13:46Back, everybody!

1:13:46 > 1:13:51- THE TWINS SCREAM - Get behind the tree! Heads down!

1:14:43 > 1:14:45GAS! Get out!

1:15:35 > 1:15:37I'm so sorry.

1:15:37 > 1:15:39I'm happy!

1:15:39 > 1:15:41We're free!

1:16:58 > 1:17:00My launch!

1:17:07 > 1:17:10She was all I had in the world.

1:17:11 > 1:17:15- What good is a boat with no river? - The river is there!

1:17:18 > 1:17:24It's full of ammonium hydroxide - contaminated. If we stay here, we'll die.

1:18:02 > 1:18:10- Look, we're here! The ocean! - We're here! THEY ALL SHOUT AND CHEER

1:18:14 > 1:18:17YES!

1:18:19 > 1:18:23I'm going in! I'll race you, Jerry!

1:18:23 > 1:18:25Wait for me!

1:18:25 > 1:18:30THEY ALL SQUEAL WITH DELIGHT

1:18:43 > 1:18:47My home - that way! United States - that way!

1:18:47 > 1:18:53CHILDREN: Let's go home! Let's go home!

1:19:09 > 1:19:12Everything we need is here!

1:19:12 > 1:19:14Right here!

1:19:15 > 1:19:20We can live simply. Gardening...fishing...beach-combing.

1:19:20 > 1:19:28I'm a changed man. No more chemicals or poisons. If it isn't here, we don't need it!

1:19:36 > 1:19:41We could take that pipanto up the coast to Mosquitia.

1:19:41 > 1:19:45We could walk down the beach to Panama!

1:19:45 > 1:19:48Or UP the beach to Cape Cod!

1:19:48 > 1:19:53- Yes! Let's go to Cape Cod! - THE CHILDREN ALL SHOUT

1:19:54 > 1:19:56No!

1:19:56 > 1:19:58NO!

1:19:58 > 1:20:00We CANNOT go back!

1:20:03 > 1:20:05Why?

1:20:07 > 1:20:10Because...it's not there any more.

1:20:10 > 1:20:13America's not there.

1:20:13 > 1:20:15What are you talking about?

1:20:15 > 1:20:22- A cataclysm, a blinding flash, the end of that world. - Darling, that was Jeronimo.

1:20:22 > 1:20:26No, I'm talking about America.

1:20:27 > 1:20:31Millions of Americans burnt to a crisp.

1:20:33 > 1:20:36Their flesh just melted off them.

1:20:36 > 1:20:39Why are you doing this to us?

1:20:39 > 1:20:43To us? I'm our salvation. I rescued us.

1:20:43 > 1:20:47Is it really blown away? Nuclear war?

1:20:52 > 1:20:54Mom!

1:20:54 > 1:20:58It's all right, now. He's just joking... Just a JOKE!

1:20:58 > 1:21:00Some joke!

1:21:16 > 1:21:21- Me cannot take your Omega, Father! - I've got no use for it any more.

1:21:25 > 1:21:30Take it. You've been a good friend to us.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33Spirits!

1:21:33 > 1:21:38But you'd like my place - just down the coast.

1:21:38 > 1:21:40They're my family!

1:21:40 > 1:21:42No, Haddy!

1:21:42 > 1:21:45If it's on a map, I can't use it!

1:21:50 > 1:21:55'I knew Father had lied to us about America being blown up.

1:21:55 > 1:22:00'That lie made me feel lonelier than I had ever felt before.

1:22:00 > 1:22:05'I wanted to take hold of him to tell him I loved him

1:22:05 > 1:22:11'and that I would stay with him if only he would take back the lie.'

1:22:16 > 1:22:19How long are we going to be here?

1:22:24 > 1:22:29Have Hatfield and Mr Polski and our chickens all been blown up?

1:22:33 > 1:22:37Well, if they have, we're the luckiest people on Earth.

1:22:37 > 1:22:43- What if it hasn't? - Then we're making an awful mistake.

1:22:51 > 1:22:54'Somehow, we found what we needed.

1:22:54 > 1:22:59'We built a latrine and a hut and planted a vegetable garden.

1:22:59 > 1:23:07'Father's hut was like a barge. He took care to make it waterproof, sealing the cracks with tar.

1:23:07 > 1:23:14'He found an old outboard and took it apart, cleaning it piece by piece.

1:23:14 > 1:23:22'Father was fond of saying, "In the end, Robinson Crusoe went back home, but we're staying."'

1:23:54 > 1:23:57It's Mr Haddy!

1:23:57 > 1:24:01Greetings! Hi! Nice to see you!

1:24:01 > 1:24:05Oh, Haddy! What a surprise!

1:24:05 > 1:24:10This is a very different kind of experiment! Very different!

1:24:10 > 1:24:15It doesn't look much at the moment, but we've got great plans!

1:24:15 > 1:24:19- I brought some food. - Do I look hungry?

1:24:30 > 1:24:37- That motor don't have no sparks. I bring you some sparks and gas next time.- I don't want them.

1:24:37 > 1:24:43- How is that? - Because I don't need your charity.

1:24:45 > 1:24:48You're too close to the water.

1:24:48 > 1:24:55- The water's over there. - It'll be here when the rain comes. It'll cover that junk pile.

1:24:57 > 1:25:00Who made that trash pile? Monkeys?

1:25:00 > 1:25:05- HADDY LAUGHS - Tell us how you lost your watch!

1:25:05 > 1:25:10- I swapped it for my new boat. You want to see she?- No.

1:25:10 > 1:25:13I call her 'Omega' like the watch!

1:25:13 > 1:25:16She is a PRETTY thing!

1:25:16 > 1:25:20I had that watch 15 years!

1:25:20 > 1:25:23It's three thirty!

1:25:23 > 1:25:27- You just gave it away. - You approve of that.

1:25:27 > 1:25:31Haddy, can't you see? We've got work to do here.

1:25:35 > 1:25:40You're in trouble here, Father. The rains will wash you out to sea.

1:25:41 > 1:25:44Ma and the kids could come to us.

1:25:44 > 1:25:47It's good for the family there!

1:25:47 > 1:25:51He's telling ME it's too dangerous here!

1:25:51 > 1:25:54- This savage... - Don't talk to him like that!

1:25:56 > 1:25:59We live here. Get that?

1:26:00 > 1:26:06- We're pioneers! - JERRY: I want to go.- What?

1:26:06 > 1:26:10- Speak up, Jerry! - I said I wanted to go with Mr Haddy!

1:26:12 > 1:26:19Fine! Stop what you're doing, pack up and get out. But don't come back - ever!

1:26:19 > 1:26:21Never! That's policy!

1:26:23 > 1:26:31See what you've gone and done? You've got no vision, have you? None at all!

1:26:31 > 1:26:37This is going to be a thriving village some day, living in harmony with nature.

1:26:37 > 1:26:42Anyone without vision has no place here! Anyone!

1:26:49 > 1:26:52He didn't mean it.

1:26:52 > 1:26:55I hate him! I wish he was dead!

1:26:58 > 1:27:02HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDER

1:27:21 > 1:27:23SHHH!

1:27:23 > 1:27:25Haddy!

1:27:25 > 1:27:28You won't tell Father I come!

1:27:28 > 1:27:34- Sparks and gas for the outboard. - What'll I tell him?

1:27:34 > 1:27:37You found them! Don't mention Haddy!

1:27:37 > 1:27:41You gonna drown without the motor!

1:27:41 > 1:27:46There going to be water EVERYWHERE! You hear, Charlie?

1:27:46 > 1:27:48God be with you!

1:28:20 > 1:28:22GET UP!

1:28:26 > 1:28:29OH! ALLIE!

1:28:30 > 1:28:33Fasten this to the frame!

1:28:35 > 1:28:38Oh, my God! My God!

1:28:40 > 1:28:43Don't worry, Mother! It'll float!

1:28:43 > 1:28:48Get inside with the kids! I'll get a line to the shore!

1:28:56 > 1:28:59- Hold on!- OH!

1:28:59 > 1:29:02Everybody hold on together!

1:29:04 > 1:29:08EVERYBODY SCREAMS

1:29:10 > 1:29:13- TWINS SCREAM - ALLIE!

1:29:13 > 1:29:16- Hold on!- ALLIE!

1:29:32 > 1:29:35- CHILDREN SCREAM - HOLD ON!

1:29:35 > 1:29:39We're going out to sea!

1:29:40 > 1:29:42- MOM!- Oh, God!

1:29:58 > 1:30:00Dad!

1:30:00 > 1:30:01Dad!

1:30:01 > 1:30:04I found these last week!

1:30:05 > 1:30:08MOTOR STARTS

1:30:08 > 1:30:10THEY CHEER

1:30:10 > 1:30:16- I've got control!- Haddy's! We could go downstream to Haddy's!

1:30:16 > 1:30:21Dead things go downstream, Mother! Life is upstream!

1:31:15 > 1:31:18Don't give them too much coconut!

1:31:18 > 1:31:21Light rations!

1:31:22 > 1:31:25Don't know when we'll eat next!

1:31:29 > 1:31:32MOTOR RATTLES...

1:31:32 > 1:31:35..AND DIES

1:31:35 > 1:31:39The prop's fallen to the bottom. Boys!

1:31:39 > 1:31:43Come here with your poles. Get a reference on the shore.

1:31:43 > 1:31:47Hold her where we are.

1:32:04 > 1:32:06TWIN: Where is he?

1:32:07 > 1:32:10He's been down a long time.

1:32:17 > 1:32:21- He's gone! - Jerry, can you see him?

1:32:21 > 1:32:26TWIN: He has to be somewhere!

1:32:36 > 1:32:38Dad!

1:32:38 > 1:32:42MOTHER STARTS TO SOB

1:32:43 > 1:32:47I can't STAND THIS!

1:32:47 > 1:32:52- It'll be all right! - I'm finished!

1:32:53 > 1:32:56We'll be ALL RIGHT!

1:32:56 > 1:32:58All right!

1:32:58 > 1:33:04- We can go downstream to Mr Haddy. - Mom, Jerry's right. Let's go!

1:33:06 > 1:33:08Traitors.

1:33:19 > 1:33:25'As punishment, Jerry and I were towed behind the houseboat.

1:33:25 > 1:33:30'Father sat on the end of the tow-line, his back to us.

1:33:30 > 1:33:35'I hated his shoulders, his greasy hair, the slant of his spine.

1:33:35 > 1:33:40'I imagined sticking a knife in it, just below his ragged collar.'

1:33:42 > 1:33:45Yes, it's necessary punishment.

1:33:45 > 1:33:49No, it's not! Now bring those children back on!

1:33:49 > 1:33:54Are you in charge now, Mother? If so, just say!

1:33:54 > 1:33:57Can you get us out of here?

1:33:57 > 1:34:03- If you could, where would you go? - I'd go to Mr Haddy's! - And live like a savage?

1:34:04 > 1:34:07I'd really rather die.

1:34:08 > 1:34:13It's no shame to be the last to go. It just proves my point.

1:34:15 > 1:34:18I'm doing this for all of us.

1:34:18 > 1:34:20I'm doing this for you.

1:34:33 > 1:34:36I wish I could kill him.

1:34:36 > 1:34:39We could sneak up behind...

1:34:39 > 1:34:43- Be quiet! Stop talking like that! - You're thinking it, too.

1:34:43 > 1:34:50- No, I'm not! You can stop talking like that! - JERRY CRIES

1:34:50 > 1:34:56- I wish he were dead!- Be quiet, OK? - JERRY SOBS - Jerry!

1:34:59 > 1:35:02Just be quiet.

1:35:06 > 1:35:07I'm sorry.

1:35:27 > 1:35:30Beautiful country, eh, Mother?

1:35:30 > 1:35:34We could live anywhere around here. Like kings!

1:35:35 > 1:35:40I know what you're thinking! You think it's better upstream!

1:35:47 > 1:35:52HEAVENLY SINGING IN THE DISTANCE

1:36:22 > 1:36:25Are those angels, Mommy?

1:36:27 > 1:36:30SINGING GETS LOUDER

1:36:37 > 1:36:42# Blessed Jesus

1:36:43 > 1:36:49# Blessed Jesus

1:36:49 > 1:36:56# Thou hast found us, kindly... #

1:36:56 > 1:37:03- Missionaries! They could help us. - We don't need help!

1:37:03 > 1:37:06Look at us!

1:37:11 > 1:37:14REV SPELLGOOD: Well done, choir!

1:37:14 > 1:37:16Welcome!

1:37:16 > 1:37:19- Spellgood!- We'll see about this!

1:37:31 > 1:37:36- What are you going to do? - I'm going to knock his block off!

1:37:39 > 1:37:43Barbed wire! A Christian concentration camp!

1:37:43 > 1:37:49REV SPELLGOOD RANTS IN THE BACKGROUND

1:37:49 > 1:37:53They have a backboard! We could play basketball!

1:37:53 > 1:37:56Wow! Look at these toys!
