1
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:48,800
Come buck

2
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,120
<i>Buck lived a big house
in the sun kissed Santa Clara Valley</i>

3
00:03:54,161 --> 00:03:56,040
<i>Judge Millers place it was called</i>

4
00:03:57,298 --> 00:04:02,430
<i>house was approached by gravel pathways
which wound about wide spreading lawns.</i>

5
00:04:02,431 --> 00:04:05,470
<i>under the interlacing
boughs of tall poplars..</i>

6
00:04:05,471 --> 00:04:11,283
<i>over this great domain Buck ruled
here he was born,</i>

7
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:14,521
<i>here he had lived the
4 years of his life.</i>

8
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:20,392
Good afternoon
Big Bob

9
00:04:20,393 --> 00:04:21,393
Ed

10
00:04:24,641 --> 00:04:27,989
<i>Buck did not read the newspapers,
or he would have known trouble was brewing.</i>

11
00:04:28,384 --> 00:04:31,870
<i>only for himself
but for every tide water-dog</i>

12
00:04:32,789 --> 00:04:35,311
<i>strong of muscle warm and of long hair.</i>

13
00:04:35,346 --> 00:04:36,747
<i>from Puget Sound to San Diego.</i>

14
00:04:37,495 --> 00:04:41,958
<i>because men, groping in the Arctic darkness,
had found a yellow metal</i>

15
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:44,271
<i>because steamship
and transportation companies</i>

16
00:04:44,506 --> 00:04:45,785
<i>were booming the find</i>

17
00:04:45,834 --> 00:04:46,967
<i>thousands of men</i>

18
00:04:47,347 --> 00:04:48,467
<i>were rushing into the Northland.</i>

19
00:04:49,488 --> 00:04:50,840
<i>These men wanted dogs</i>

20
00:04:51,252 --> 00:04:53,084
<i>and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs.</i>

21
00:04:53,119 --> 00:04:56,342
<i>with strong muscles by which to toil,</i>

22
00:04:56,377 --> 00:04:58,191
<i>and furry coats to protect</i>

23
00:04:58,226 --> 00:04:59,217
<i>them from the frost.</i>

24
00:05:02,544 --> 00:05:03,431
<i>Buck had accepted the rope</i>

25
00:05:03,566 --> 00:05:04,427
<i>with quiet dignity.</i>

26
00:05:04,542 --> 00:05:06,516
<i>he had learned to trust in men he knew</i>

27
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:08,226
<i>and to give them credit for a wisdom</i>

28
00:05:08,530 --> 00:05:09,302
<i>that outreached his own.</i>

29
00:05:09,337 --> 00:05:12,597
<i>But when the ends of the rope
were placed in the stranger's hands.</i>

30
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,960
growls menacingly.

31
00:05:25,944 --> 00:05:28,765
<i>two days and nights
he neither ate nor drank.</i>

32
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:31,270
<i>during those two days
and nights of torment</i>

33
00:05:31,271 --> 00:05:33,389
<i>accumulated a fund of wrath that</i>

34
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:38,418
<i>that boded ill
for whoever first fell afoul of him.</i>

35
00:05:52,625 --> 00:05:56,162
let him loose

36
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,663
you stay good
and it be fine

37
00:06:21,535 --> 00:06:24,926
you be a bad dog
an I'll whale the stuffin' outa you.

38
00:06:26,684 --> 00:06:29,823
Buck was beaten
but he was not broken.

39
00:06:30,301 --> 00:06:31,586
He saw that he stood

40
00:06:32,055 --> 00:06:33,389
no chance against a man with a club.

41
00:06:33,571 --> 00:06:36,100
That club was a revelation.

42
00:06:36,101 --> 00:06:39,856
It was his introduction to the reign of
primitive law.

43
00:06:41,737 --> 00:06:42,875
A this the one you need

44
00:06:42,876 --> 00:06:44,934
big strapping brute
name of Buck

45
00:06:47,162 --> 00:06:48,242
He's big enough all right

46
00:06:49,038 --> 00:06:50,144
why he not eating?

47
00:06:50,304 --> 00:06:51,224
he sulking

48
00:06:51,225 --> 00:06:53,729
got a temper for a big dog,
I just show him his place

49
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,948
this my best dog.
Perrault.

50
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:59,669
He'll pull your mail sled all the way
to Dawson by himself, mark my word.

51
00:07:01,596 --> 00:07:02,461
300!

52
00:07:02,968 --> 00:07:03,958
300?

53
00:07:03,993 --> 00:07:06,315
that�s my price
he's worth more

54
00:07:06,316 --> 00:07:07,626
that's a lot of money.

55
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:08,458
he's a lot of dog.

56
00:07:13,104 --> 00:07:17,750
I'll give you 300 for him
and that frisky on over there.

57
00:07:17,975 --> 00:07:18,851

58
00:07:20,405 --> 00:07:21,125
Deal.

59
00:07:22,437 --> 00:07:23,779
<i>The next morning Buck and Curly</i>

60
00:07:24,141 --> 00:07:25,554
<i>were loaded on to the Narwhal.</i>

61
00:07:26,654 --> 00:07:30,400
<i>The vessel sailed north from Seattle
quickly Crossing the Canadian border</i>

62
00:07:32,311 --> 00:07:37,473
<i>The journey continued pressing on
through Queen Charlotte Sound, pass Juno</i>

63
00:07:37,474 --> 00:07:41,912
<i>into Lynne canal
and finally up toward Dyea beach</i>

64
00:07:43,945 --> 00:07:46,850

65
00:07:46,851 --> 00:07:49,692
<i>Buck new change was a end</i>

66

Dogs Barking and whimpering

Sniggers

68
00:08:32,461 --> 00:08:33,220
This buck

69
00:08:36,966 --> 00:08:38,381
and Curly

70
00:08:38,382 --> 00:08:40,072
take them over to the camp

71
00:08:40,073 --> 00:08:41,783
I�ll look at them there

72
00:09:09,468 --> 00:09:10,179
Shout at dogs

There you go Dave

77
00:09:45,365 --> 00:09:46,504

<i>That was fair Buck decided</i>

00:10:16,563 --> 00:10:17,816
<i>This was a new kinda man,</i>

80
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:19,407
<i>a man to wise in the way</i>

81
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,451
<i>of dogs to be fooled by dogs.</i>

82
00:10:32,497 --> 00:10:36,311
<i>As a courier for the Canadian government
baring dispatches</i>

83
00:10:36,312 --> 00:10:39,151
<i>Perrault was anxious to secure
the best dogs.</i>

84
00:10:39,995 --> 00:10:42,945
<i>and he was particularly gladdened
by the possession of Buck</i>

85
00:10:47,209 --> 00:10:49,301
- There you go sir
- Thanks alot

86
00:10:51,630 --> 00:10:53,479
Hello John.
How are you this morning?

87
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:55,029
Fine Perrault and you?

88
00:10:55,713 --> 00:10:56,630

89
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,622
a fine day of mail
for Dawson this time.

90
00:11:04,685 --> 00:11:06,450
what the weather like
these days?

91
00:11:06,942 --> 00:11:08,473
not too bad

92
00:12:24,370 --> 00:12:25,326
GET THEM OUT FROM THERE

93
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:26,327
MEN SHOUTING

94
00:12:31,725 --> 00:12:32,536
<i>So that was the way</i>

95
00:12:33,078 --> 00:12:34,161
<i>no fair play</i>

96
00:12:35,515 --> 00:12:37,228
<i>once down that was the end of you</i>

97
00:12:38,407 --> 00:12:39,369
well

98
00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:43,601
Buck would see to it
that he never went down

99
00:12:45,101 --> 00:12:46,432
<i>Spitz looked at curly and unmoved</i>

100
00:12:47,586 --> 00:12:51,633
<i>and at that moment Buck hated him
with a bitter deathless hatred</i>

101
00:13:32,534 --> 00:13:33,732
Get out Buck

102
00:13:33,833 --> 00:13:34,733
Get out

Francois

105
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:45,381
This is Sol-leks

106
00:14:57,319 --> 00:14:58,817
what is the problem?

107
00:15:00,430 --> 00:15:04,128
well he's old and half blind

108
00:15:04,413 --> 00:15:06,569
he knows how to pull a sled
that all I care about

109
00:15:14,319 --> 00:15:16,319
he sighs

110
00:15:25,830 --> 00:15:28,241
no more fancy collars for you
my friend

111
00:15:34,398 --> 00:15:35,892
come buck

112
00:15:36,964 --> 00:15:37,814

let�s get moving
Francois

114
00:15:42,570 --> 00:15:45,456
or we'll never make it through
the cannon

115
00:15:51,961 --> 00:15:52,958
mush

116
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:57,458
All though buck dignity was sorely
hurt by being harnessed like a horse

117
00:15:57,864 --> 00:15:59,474
<i>he was to wise to
rebel</i>

118
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,564
<i>he buckled down with the will
and did his best</i>

119
00:16:02,225 --> 00:16:04,280
<i>although it was all new and strange</i>

120
00:16:05,859 --> 00:16:06,981
<i>he was glad
to be dog</i>

121
00:16:08,605 --> 00:16:10,124
<i>he was surprised
with the eagerness</i>

122
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:11,572
<i>which animated the whole team</i>

123
00:16:11,812 --> 00:16:13,303
<i>and was communicated to him</i>

124
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:17,331
<i>the toll and the traces seemed
the supreme expression of the being</i>

125
00:16:17,332 --> 00:16:19,159
<i>an all that they lived for</i>

126
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,558
<i>and only thing which they took to light</i>

127
00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:24,509
there you go
Dave

128
00:16:31,163 --> 00:16:32,178
Here Spitz

129
00:16:33,163 --> 00:16:34,432
come on buck

130
00:17:31,172 --> 00:17:32,316
thieves

131
00:17:33,632 --> 00:17:34,680
what happened?

132
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:37,323
- one of them stole my bacon
- where did you leave it?

133
00:17:37,522 --> 00:17:38,379
doesn�t matter where i left it

134
00:17:40,010 --> 00:17:40,911
he had no business stealing it

135
00:17:45,530 --> 00:17:47,410
no Buck wouldn�t have stole it

136
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:54,501
was you wasn�t it?
if i ever catch you

137
00:17:54,958 --> 00:17:56,076
you'll wish you never been born

138
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:02,496
This first theft marked Buck's as fit
to survive

139
00:18:02,854 --> 00:18:04,682
in the hostel northlands environment

140
00:18:04,683 --> 00:18:07,380
it marked his ability his capacity

141
00:18:07,478 --> 00:18:09,965
to adjust himself to changing conditions

142
00:18:09,966 --> 00:18:13,143
the lack of which of meant
swift and terrible death

143
00:18:14,229 --> 00:18:15,575
it was all well enough
in the Southland

144
00:18:15,772 --> 00:18:19,283
under the law love an fellowship
to respect private property

145
00:18:19,284 --> 00:18:20,522
and personal feelings

146
00:18:21,444 --> 00:18:25,305
but in the Northlands
under the law club and fang

147
00:18:26,032 --> 00:18:28,422
<i>whoso took such things into
account was a fool,</i>

148
00:18:29,410 --> 00:18:32,942
and in so far as he observed them
he would fail to prosper.

149
00:18:35,035 --> 00:18:35,787
come on Buck

150
00:18:36,199 --> 00:18:37,674

153
00:19:17,043 --> 00:19:18,502
next day they made forty miles

154
00:19:19,465 --> 00:19:20,925
the trail being packed

155
00:19:20,926 --> 00:19:26,520
but the next day,
and for many days to follow

156
00:19:27,652 --> 00:19:28,639
hey broke their own trail

157
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,043
worked harder, and made poorer time.

158
00:19:31,690 --> 00:19:34,255
It was a hard days run
up canyon

159
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:36,895
through snowdrifts hundreds of feet deep

160
00:19:36,896 --> 00:19:37,896
<i>and over the great Chilcoot Divided</i>

161
00:19:39,523 --> 00:19:41,915
<i>which stands between the Ocean and the
Yukon river</i>

162
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,354
<i>and guards forbiddingly
the sad and lonely North.</i>

163
00:20:12,558 --> 00:20:14,394
Halt

164
00:20:44,502 --> 00:20:45,355
We camp here

165
00:20:45,946 --> 00:20:46,771

Francois.

176
00:21:38,167 --> 00:21:39,190
boots for a dam dog

177
00:22:03,163 --> 00:22:04,180
How is the ice?

178
00:22:06,083 --> 00:22:07,257
very bad

179
00:22:07,292 --> 00:22:10,212
we'll lose half a day
so keep your wits about you

180
00:22:28,791 --> 00:22:30,710
h!

181
00:23:37,107 --> 00:23:40,211
Here in Dawson
were other Southland dogs.

182
00:23:40,946 --> 00:23:45,079
and every night regularly

183
00:23:46,165 --> 00:23:48,414
they lifted nocturnal
song.

184
00:23:49,442 --> 00:23:53,624
A weird and eerie chant
in which it was Buck right to join,

185
00:24:43,676 --> 00:24:45,409
Seven days from the time
they pulled into Dawson

186
00:24:45,686 --> 00:24:47,533
they dropped down
to the Yukon river trail

187
00:24:48,474 --> 00:24:51,774
Perrault was carrying dispatches
more urgent than those he brought in

188
00:24:52,566 --> 00:24:54,533
also the pride had gripped him

189
00:24:55,096 --> 00:24:57,377
and he proposed to make
the record trip of the year

190
00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:02,699
The weeks rest had recuperated the dogs
and put them in thorough trim

191
00:25:34,553 --> 00:25:35,599
alright

192
00:25:36,121 --> 00:25:37,051
go on

193
00:25:38,578 --> 00:25:39,357
what are you doing?

194
00:25:40,595 --> 00:25:42,053
He must be tired of salmon,

195
00:25:42,817 --> 00:25:44,546
little rabbit might taste good eh?

196
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:48,919
and you too

197
00:26:31,413 --> 00:26:32,742
I hear them

198
00:26:33,743 --> 00:26:35,147
leave them be

199
00:26:35,148 --> 00:26:38,459
it's nice to have some
quite around here

200
00:27:25,237 --> 00:27:28,520
Dogs Start to bark
and Growl

201
00:28:15,022 --> 00:28:18,865
Spitz moans and howls.

202
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:46,172
<i>There had been no hope for Spitz</i>

203
00:28:46,877 --> 00:28:50,033
<i>mercy was a thing reserved
for gentler climes</i>

204
00:28:58,494 --> 00:29:01,521
<i>instincts long dead became
alive again in Buck,</i>

205
00:29:03,243 --> 00:29:06,286
<i>The domestic generations were
falling from him</i>

206
00:29:24,241 --> 00:29:26,338
look like you put up a hell�va fight

207
00:29:27,027 --> 00:29:27,774
damn it

208
00:29:29,361 --> 00:29:32,203
it's tough enough on the trail without this

209
00:29:35,534 --> 00:29:36,552
Am glad is finally over

210
00:29:36,587 --> 00:29:37,570
you glad we lost a dog?

211
00:29:38,180 --> 00:29:39,468
Buck worth two Dogs

212
00:29:40,776 --> 00:29:42,397
we�re going to make better time

213
00:29:42,398 --> 00:29:45,499
no more Spitz
no more trouble

214
00:29:46,191 --> 00:29:48,683
hope your right

215
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,877
Come on Sol-leks, come on

216
00:29:59,878 --> 00:30:02,094
got a new job for you

217
00:30:02,099 --> 00:30:03,095
Come on Sol-leks

218
00:30:14,606 --> 00:30:15,745
Buck go away

219
00:30:20,512 --> 00:30:25,070
so you thing you should take
Spitz place eh go away

220
00:30:25,215 --> 00:30:26,309
Go

221
00:30:26,547 --> 00:30:27,393
Sol-leks will lead.

222
00:30:36,108 --> 00:30:37,214
Stay

223
00:30:50,131 --> 00:30:51,627
I�ve had enough

224
00:30:56,406 --> 00:30:58,272
By god buck am going to
teach your place

225
00:31:07,340 --> 00:31:08,815
damn you Buck

226
00:31:33,438 --> 00:31:35,057
Buck ying

227
00:31:39,737 --> 00:31:41,825
so what we do?

228
00:31:43,777 --> 00:31:45,761
I say we give buck a chance

229
00:31:45,796 --> 00:31:47,585
he fought for it

230
00:31:49,044 --> 00:31:54,395
sighs alright
maybe your right

231
00:32:46,708 --> 00:32:48,672
It was a hard trip
the trail behind them.

232
00:32:48,707 --> 00:32:51,060
and the heavy work wore them down

233
00:32:52,765 --> 00:32:55,714
since the beginning of winter
they had travel 1800 miles

234
00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:58,713
dragging sled the whole
weary distance

235
00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:03,826
Buck stood keep his mate's
up to their work and maintaining discipline

236
00:33:03,827 --> 00:33:07,226
although he too was very tired.

237
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,315
Monsieur Perrault

238
00:33:28,981 --> 00:33:30,643
no broken bones

239
00:33:30,644 --> 00:33:34,137
- Put him back in the tracers
- No he's too weak to pull

240
00:33:36,757 --> 00:33:38,860
then you know what we have to do.

241
00:33:39,187 --> 00:33:39,961
he might recover.

242
00:33:42,558 --> 00:33:43,494
we'll make him run behind

243
00:33:44,788 --> 00:33:45,999
Alright

244
00:33:46,565 --> 00:33:47,767

245
00:34:04,099 --> 00:34:06,041

250
00:34:53,819 --> 00:34:54,819

251
00:35:01,961 --> 00:35:02,753
mush mush

252
00:35:12,106 --> 00:35:15,211
Gun shoot

253
00:35:15,369 --> 00:35:18,667
<i>Buck knew and every dog knew
what had taken place</i>

254
00:35:18,668 --> 00:35:19,668
<i>behind that belt of river trees</i>

255
00:35:20,742 --> 00:35:23,958
<i>and they knew this thing was very close
to them</i>

256
00:35:38,073 --> 00:35:39,897
<i>30 days from the time it left
Dawson</i>

257
00:35:40,314 --> 00:35:43,090
<i>the mail with buck and his mates
at the fore</i>

258
00:35:43,365 --> 00:35:45,545
<i>arrived back in a wretched state</i>

259
00:35:46,418 --> 00:35:48,732
<i>worn out and worn down</i>

260
00:35:52,417 --> 00:35:54,675
Dyea Thank god

261
00:35:57,417 --> 00:36:00,132
sounds like your both lucky to be alive

262
00:36:00,946 --> 00:36:02,374
too bad you have to go back to Dawson

263
00:36:02,375 --> 00:36:03,328
what?

264
00:36:05,784 --> 00:36:07,786
urgent mail for the northwest police

265
00:36:09,283 --> 00:36:11,394
No way we 'all make to Dawson right now

266
00:36:11,395 --> 00:36:12,748
The dogs are exhausted

267
00:36:13,956 --> 00:36:15,262
they need a week to rest up

268
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:18,190
sorry you�re the only messengers in town

269
00:36:19,186 --> 00:36:22,005
Cyrus O'Neil got some fresh dogs

270
00:36:23,064 --> 00:36:24,700

Au revoir M�n ami

280
00:37:22,442 --> 00:37:24,833

00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:26,617
<i>the proceeded to load the sled.</i>

282
00:37:26,652 --> 00:37:29,421
<i>re was a great deal of effort
about their manner</i>

283
00:37:30,109 --> 00:37:32,077

Yes dear

00:37:39,355 --> 00:37:41,754
I wouldn�t toot that tent along
if i were you.

287
00:37:43,207 --> 00:37:45,442
undreamed of how in the
world would we manage without a tent.

288
00:37:46,184 --> 00:37:48,762
it's all most spring
you get along without it

289
00:37:48,763 --> 00:37:50,437

no Hal you mustn�t

302
00:38:22,629 --> 00:38:25,270
now you mustn�t be so harsh with them
or i won't move a step

303
00:38:25,271 --> 00:38:27,507
you have to whip the dogs
if you want anything out of them

304
00:38:28,495 --> 00:38:30,355
ask any one of those people

305
00:38:30,356 --> 00:38:31,749
There as weak as water
friend

306
00:38:31,750 --> 00:38:34,990

You�re crazy mister.

314
00:38:49,682 --> 00:38:52,072
Don't you talk to my brother
in that tone voice sir.

315
00:38:53,336 --> 00:38:55,036

317
00:39:01,481 --> 00:39:02,390

318
00:39:03,097 --> 00:39:03,941
Back away Mercedes

319
00:39:05,381 --> 00:39:06,523

320
00:39:10,193 --> 00:39:11,273
loud sigh

321
00:39:13,380 --> 00:39:16,050
Hello Yukon

322
00:39:34,062 --> 00:39:34,850
Hal!

323
00:39:36,466 --> 00:39:37,850
are you all right?

324
00:39:51,939 --> 00:39:55,451
well we just have to
take few things off

325
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,328
over that

326
00:40:03,329 --> 00:40:04,463
feeling better

327
00:40:04,755 --> 00:40:07,288
No how could I feel better
leaving all my things behind

328
00:40:07,958 --> 00:40:08,768
oh my sweet pea

329
00:40:08,803 --> 00:40:10,381

330
00:40:10,382 --> 00:40:13,375
I�ll buy you ever new dress in
Dawson city

331
00:40:14,905 --> 00:40:16,680

333
00:40:20,365 --> 00:40:21,901
this is a lot harder than you told me
Charles

334
00:40:22,155 --> 00:40:25,290
ouck didn�t think getting rich,
would be easy did you? dear

335
00:40:26,655 --> 00:40:27,703

336
00:40:27,889 --> 00:40:30,291
all aboard the golden express

337
00:40:34,058 --> 00:40:35,148
Ready?

338
00:40:35,149 --> 00:40:38,751
all right you mingy mutts
MUSH

339
00:40:41,287 --> 00:40:43,132
MUSH

340
00:40:48,058 --> 00:40:52,000
What now?

341
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:57,179
oh right here we go
mush mush on

342
00:40:57,180 --> 00:40:58,180
Hooray for the Klondike

343
00:41:19,024 --> 00:41:20,777
This is freezing am glad we
missed winter

344
00:41:24,665 --> 00:41:28,245
Eat hardy lads
you earned it

345
00:41:28,564 --> 00:41:31,334
but Hal
we didn't get very far today.

346
00:41:31,335 --> 00:41:33,453
It's not bad for the
first day

347
00:41:33,732 --> 00:41:36,658
especially considering Cleopatra
sat on the barge the entire way.

348
00:41:36,659 --> 00:41:40,769
A woman can only walk so far
in one day.

349
00:41:46,116 --> 00:41:47,895
Now sweetheart don't be like that

350
00:41:49,426 --> 00:41:51,135
Perhaps we should show her the map

351
00:41:52,175 --> 00:41:53,543
It's your wife

352
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:54,544
I can hear you Hal

353
00:42:08,154 --> 00:42:10,553
- What's wrong?
- Oh we got a problem

354
00:42:13,883 --> 00:42:17,952
- I thought we passed lake Bennett yesterday
- No that was lake cacross

355
00:42:19,989 --> 00:42:22,540
- Oh you poor dog 's you look so tired
- what if this way?

356
00:42:24,738 --> 00:42:27,606
it will lead us by the white pass trail
here.

357
00:42:29,669 --> 00:42:30,446
- we cut our distance by a third
But

358
00:42:31,597 --> 00:42:34,645
But In Dyea the said that trail was
dangerous this time of year

359
00:42:35,646 --> 00:42:36,955
No dear!
Don't do that

360
00:42:36,956 --> 00:42:37,956
You mustn�t over feed the dogs

361
00:42:38,695 --> 00:42:40,940
no! no! no! don't be so cruel
Charles they need there sustains

362
00:42:41,213 --> 00:42:43,238
but we'll run out of food
half way to Dawson

363
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,639
Am taking the white pass trail
and were cutting the dogs rations

364
00:42:51,188 --> 00:42:52,800
Buck felt vaguely that there
was no depending

365
00:42:52,835 --> 00:42:54,990
upon these two men and the woman.

366
00:42:54,991 --> 00:42:57,747
They did not know how to do anything.

367
00:42:57,782 --> 00:43:02,082
and as the days went by it became
apparent that they could not learn.

368
00:43:02,117 --> 00:43:02,886
this way

369
00:43:04,299 --> 00:43:05,703
let�s go

370
00:43:19,741 --> 00:43:20,457
mush

371
00:43:26,949 --> 00:43:28,906
A mush on

372
00:43:51,108 --> 00:43:53,084
Help me!
Help!

373
00:43:54,418 --> 00:43:55,773
Help me!

374
00:44:01,041 --> 00:44:01,889
Freezing

375
00:44:20,204 --> 00:44:22,571
How could you leave me out there?
I all most have died

376
00:44:23,570 --> 00:44:25,305
why you not wearing your
snow shoes?

377
00:44:26,461 --> 00:44:27,272
There back there

378
00:44:27,307 --> 00:44:29,966
why don't you not go back and find them
if there so precious

379
00:44:29,967 --> 00:44:33,507
Charles would you please
inform my sister this is Milwaukee.

380
00:44:33,508 --> 00:44:36,705
that this is the middle of the
damn Yukon.

381
00:44:36,706 --> 00:44:39,909
Oh why don't you tell my
foul mouth brother

382
00:44:40,612 --> 00:44:43,033
that am trying my best.

383
00:44:43,261 --> 00:44:45,694
but i just can't walk anymore
I just can't

384
00:44:47,594 --> 00:44:50,724
<i>By this time all the amenities and
gentleness�s of the Southland</i>

385
00:44:50,725 --> 00:44:53,420
<i>fell away from the three people</i>

386
00:44:53,421 --> 00:44:55,915
<i>shorn of its glamour and romance,</i>

387
00:44:56,212 --> 00:45:01,029
<i>Arctic travel became to them a reality too
harsh for them.</i>

388
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:06,660
Ah mush on

389
00:45:21,742 --> 00:45:24,646
<i>Through it all Buck staggered
along at the head the team</i>

390
00:45:24,681 --> 00:45:26,697
<i>As in a nightmare.</i>

391
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,573
Stop!

392
00:45:34,769 --> 00:45:35,893
Whoa!

393
00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:41,834
Whoa! Whoa!

394
00:45:43,416 --> 00:45:44,985
What!

395
00:45:46,821 --> 00:45:48,375
Look!

396
00:45:48,376 --> 00:45:49,376
God lord

397
00:45:50,046 --> 00:45:50,754
How we going to get across?

398
00:45:52,092 --> 00:45:53,311
Look just don't panic
we just

399
00:45:55,082 --> 00:45:57,066
Follow the river upstream
till it's frozen

400
00:45:58,383 --> 00:45:59,669
Come on lets go

401
00:46:18,654 --> 00:46:20,061
Stop! Stop Stop

402
00:46:20,096 --> 00:46:24,252
- Stop the dog look he' fallen
- Whoa Whoa

403
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:37,038
Don't for god sake

404
00:46:37,785 --> 00:46:39,526
He's dead

405
00:46:58,151 --> 00:47:00,051
let's just keep moving!

406
00:47:04,879 --> 00:47:08,249
Ye ha mush
ye mush

407
00:47:10,607 --> 00:47:11,821
What he want?

408
00:47:12,935 --> 00:47:15,380
I think he's trying to tell you something
dear

409
00:47:15,381 --> 00:47:18,379
- He wants off the sled
- But I am freezing - GET OFF!

410
00:47:18,380 --> 00:47:21,688
or were not going anywhere

411
00:47:24,010 --> 00:47:25,469
I didn't want come on this trip
you know

412
00:47:25,648 --> 00:47:26,935
I didn't want look for gold

413
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:29,927
I only came because I wanted to
be near you because I love you

414
00:47:29,928 --> 00:47:30,928
and now

415
00:47:30,929 --> 00:47:32,207
everything is ruined.

416
00:47:42,256 --> 00:47:43,720
Yhea mush

417
00:47:46,397 --> 00:47:47,103
Yhea

418
00:47:56,968 --> 00:48:00,561
<i>It was strange that neither dogs
or humans were aware of it.</i>

419
00:48:00,562 --> 00:48:03,701
<i>From every hill came a trickle of
running water</i>

420
00:48:04,276 --> 00:48:05,743
<i>All things were thawing</i>

421
00:48:05,744 --> 00:48:10,094
<i>The Yukon was straining to break
loose the ice that bound it down.</i>

422
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:13,401
<i>thin sections of ice fell through
bodily into the river.</i>

423
00:48:13,402 --> 00:48:16,155
<i>And amid all this throbbing of
awakening life,</i>

424
00:48:16,368 --> 00:48:18,414
<i>through the rushing of the swollen river.</i>

425
00:48:18,415 --> 00:48:24,218
<i>like wayfarers to death, the two men,
the woman, and the dogs.</i>

426
00:48:24,253 --> 00:48:28,143
<i>staggered into John Thornton's camp
at the mouth of White River.</i>

427
00:48:43,808 --> 00:48:44,835
Thank god

428
00:48:47,122 --> 00:48:50,002
were travelling upstream
looking for some ice to across

429
00:48:50,003 --> 00:48:51,003
Well there lots of ice

430
00:48:52,822 --> 00:48:55,159
But it's about to break
i wouldn�t call it safe

431
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,160
we made it this far

432
00:48:57,122 --> 00:48:59,355
we'll find a way across

433
00:49:02,995 --> 00:49:04,446
You look frozen stiff?

434
00:49:05,447 --> 00:49:06,700
No we

435
00:49:08,391 --> 00:49:09,914
were just fine.

436
00:49:12,208 --> 00:49:14,625
Come on
Up!

437
00:49:16,137 --> 00:49:17,689
Up

438
00:49:18,203 --> 00:49:19,253
Come buck let's get up

439
00:49:19,254 --> 00:49:20,775
we got keep going now.

440
00:49:20,776 --> 00:49:24,406
Come lets
Come Buck up

441
00:49:24,736 --> 00:49:27,321
Come lets

442
00:49:27,322 --> 00:49:29,126
look at me, I said stand.
up

443
00:49:30,258 --> 00:49:31,181
UP!

444
00:49:31,182 --> 00:49:33,163
Buck
I said up

445
00:49:35,936 --> 00:49:38,578
You listen to me Buck
when I say up

446
00:49:39,926 --> 00:49:40,730
come on

447
00:49:40,765 --> 00:49:44,312
Like his mates, Buck was
barely able to get up,

448
00:49:44,313 --> 00:49:47,865
but, unlike them, he had made up
his mind not to get up.

449
00:49:49,125 --> 00:49:52,268
he sensed disaster close at hand
out there ahead on the ice

450
00:49:52,509 --> 00:49:55,021
were his master was trying to drive him.

451
00:49:56,579 --> 00:49:58,527
This dog finished.

452
00:49:59,030 --> 00:50:00,414
Gimmie the gun
Charles

453
00:50:00,415 --> 00:50:01,415
No Hal

454
00:50:01,416 --> 00:50:03,382
- Gimmie the damn gun.
- NO!

455
00:50:12,421 --> 00:50:14,601
You finish the dog?
I'll finish you.

456
00:50:17,674 --> 00:50:18,913
He's my dog.

457
00:50:20,625 --> 00:50:22,551
You mind your own business

458
00:50:47,054 --> 00:50:48,888
Well take him
he's nearly dead anyway.

459
00:50:55,875 --> 00:50:58,061
Let�s go
come on.

460
00:51:25,047 --> 00:51:25,941
Let�s take a look at you.

461
00:51:27,281 --> 00:51:30,820
By the time his search had disclosed nothing
more than many bruises

462
00:51:30,821 --> 00:51:33,114
and a state of terrible starvation,

463
00:51:33,115 --> 00:51:35,861
the sled was a quarter of a mile away.

464
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,753
Bunch of idiots

465
00:51:56,429 --> 00:51:57,798
Want to try this

466
00:51:59,928 --> 00:52:01,017
come on

467
00:52:03,668 --> 00:52:05,323
HELP!

468
00:53:31,670 --> 00:53:34,369
<i>When John Thornton froze his feet in the
previous December</i>

469
00:53:34,844 --> 00:53:39,260
<i>His partners Hans and Pete had made him
comfortable and left him to get well,</i>

470
00:53:39,261 --> 00:53:43,204
<i>going on themselves up the river
with a boat of skins for Dawson.</i>

471
00:53:44,563 --> 00:53:46,429
<i>He was still weak at the time
he rescued Buck</i>

472
00:53:46,946 --> 00:53:49,302
<i>but with the continued warm weather
the weakness had left him.</i>

473
00:54:04,096 --> 00:54:05,596
and here beside the river bank

474
00:54:05,597 --> 00:54:08,103
<i>through the long days of
approaching spring.</i>

475
00:54:08,223 --> 00:54:12,076
<i>listening lazily to the songs of birds
and the hum of nature,</i>

476
00:54:12,077 --> 00:54:15,166
<i>Buck slowly won back his strength.</i>

477
00:54:15,167 --> 00:54:17,541
and then one day.

478
00:54:17,542 --> 00:54:21,942
decided that he might trust John Thornton.

479
00:54:35,541 --> 00:54:37,758
Hi...
how are you

480
00:54:44,328 --> 00:54:45,464
hay

481
00:54:53,029 --> 00:54:54,510
<i>Buck romps through his
convalescence</i>

482
00:54:55,254 --> 00:54:56,948
<i>and into a new existence.</i>

483
00:54:56,949 --> 00:55:01,802
<i>Love, genuine passionate love,
was his for the first time.</i>

484
00:55:01,803 --> 00:55:04,731
<i>This he had never experienced
at Judge Miller's</i>

485
00:55:04,732 --> 00:55:07,851
<i>theirs had been a stately and dignified
friendship</i>

486
00:55:07,852 --> 00:55:11,668
<i>But love that was feverish and
burning, that was adoration,</i>

487
00:55:12,258 --> 00:55:16,019
<i>that was madness, it had taken
John Thornton to arouse.</i>

488
00:55:16,754 --> 00:55:18,963
<i>This man had saved his life.</i>

489
00:55:32,422 --> 00:55:36,134
<i>For a long time after his rescue
Buck out of his sight,</i>

490
00:55:36,135 --> 00:55:40,918
<i>since he come into the northland he had
feared that no master would be kind.</i>

491
00:55:41,659 --> 00:55:44,398
<i>afraid that Thornton would pass out of
his life too.</i>

492
00:55:56,701 --> 00:55:59,700
<i>But in spite of this great love Buck
bore John Thornton,</i>

493
00:55:59,701 --> 00:56:03,745
<i>the strain of the primitive, which the
Northland had aroused in him,</i>

494
00:56:03,746 --> 00:56:05,975
remained alive and active.

495
00:56:05,976 --> 00:56:11,259
<i>Each day mankind and the claims of mankind
slipped farther from him.</i>

496
00:56:11,260 --> 00:56:14,702
<i>Deep in the forest a call was sounding,</i>

497
00:56:15,876 --> 00:56:20,106
<i>and as often as he heard this call,
mysteriously thrilling and luring,</i>

498
00:56:20,107 --> 00:56:25,897
<i>he felt compelled to turn his back upon the
campsite and the beaten earth around it,</i>

499
00:56:25,898 --> 00:56:30,007
<i>and to plunge into the forest
and on and on,</i>

500
00:56:30,008 --> 00:56:32,468
<i>he knew not where or why;</i>

501
00:56:33,761 --> 00:56:36,171
<i>But as often as he gained the soft
unbroken earth</i>

502
00:56:36,172 --> 00:56:38,486
<i>and the dark forest shade,</i>

503
00:56:38,973 --> 00:56:41,764
<i>the love for John Thornton
drew him back again.</i>

504
00:56:42,555 --> 00:56:46,967
<i>Thornton alone held him.
The rest of mankind was as nothing.</i>

505
00:56:54,341 --> 00:56:55,906
<i>convalescence was over</i>

506
00:56:56,302 --> 00:56:58,905
<i>along bad stretch of rapids on the
Forty-Mile Creek,</i>

507
00:56:58,906 --> 00:57:01,409
<i>Thornton�s two partners
Hans and Pete</i>

508
00:57:01,605 --> 00:57:03,437
<i>were moving the long the bank

guide Thornton in the boat</i>

510

<i>which was loaded with the skins

511
00:57:29,812 --> 00:57:31,482
Pete!...
Pete!

512
00:57:31,483 --> 00:57:32,483
Come on Hans.

513
00:58:11,279 --> 00:58:13,996
Come here.. come on

514
00:58:26,025 --> 00:58:26,762

515
00:58:30,706 --> 00:58:31,678

520
00:59:36,202 --> 00:59:37,626
I could use a whisky right now

521
00:59:37,627 --> 00:59:40,392
Hans and Pete laugh.

522
00:59:45,183 --> 00:59:47,196
Daryl don't you be cheating

523
01:00:08,906 --> 01:00:10,480

You strike it rich yet?

527

No

528
01:00:20,173 --> 01:00:21,512

529
01:00:23,854 --> 01:00:24,857

531
01:00:29,639 --> 01:00:31,984
Pretty fine looking dog mister

532
01:00:31,985 --> 01:00:32,985

536
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:49,993
You know I got a dog that can
breakout a sled with 500 pounds,

537

01:01:07,492 --> 01:01:09,474
and walk with it
for a 100 feet?

544
01:01:09,475 --> 01:01:12,132
And walk off with it...
.. for 100 feet

545
01:01:12,133 --> 01:01:14,574
You know I would like to see that.

546
01:01:16,068 --> 01:01:18,859
and I got 1,000 dollars
worth of gold dust

547
01:01:19,151 --> 01:01:20,903
that says he can't

548
01:01:25,611 --> 01:01:26,632
Stay!

549
01:01:35,006 --> 01:01:39,597
bet there going make needs
1000 Dollars

550
01:01:41,508 --> 01:01:43,570
I got a sled waiting right outside

551
01:01:45,802 --> 01:01:48,271
- OK
- Done

552
01:02:20,157 --> 01:02:22,682
2-1 Thornton�s dog can't meet the
challenge

553
01:02:23,541 --> 01:02:24,489
That deep man!

554
01:02:25,349 --> 01:02:26,474
I say got to be 3-1

555
01:02:26,699 --> 01:02:28,480
I'll take those 3-1 odds

556
01:02:28,481 --> 01:02:33,110
an lay you another 1,000 at those odds
any takers come on

557
01:02:35,949 --> 01:02:37,211
Going to need more money!

558
01:02:37,722 --> 01:02:39,303
all we got

559
01:02:40,896 --> 01:02:43,745
A bugger triple it for us
anyway

560
01:02:43,746 --> 01:02:47,474
John I'll put my money on you.

561
01:02:53,199 --> 01:02:54,407
200 more

562
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,191
Against my 600?
Done

01:03:04,706 --> 01:03:07,234
Do this for me

564
01:03:15,256 --> 01:03:16,751
Ok

573
01:03:51,822 --> 01:03:54,252
Crowd cheer Buck on

574
01:03:59,116 --> 01:04:00,239
Yhea Yhea

575
01:04:19,018 --> 01:04:21,348
Sir I'll give you a 1,000 dollars
for your dog

576
01:04:21,349 --> 01:04:22,611
12,000

577
01:04:22,612 --> 01:04:23,962
He's not for sale

578
01:04:50,644 --> 01:04:55,273
Your share and $150

579
01:04:57,329 --> 01:04:59,570
thanks for the support.

580
01:05:00,488 --> 01:05:02,378
ah when you going to leave?

581
01:05:04,299 --> 01:05:05,481
Pretty soon

582
01:05:07,057 --> 01:05:11,087
Listen why don't you
just think about it

583
01:05:11,088 --> 01:05:12,088
you could sleep on it.

584
01:05:14,241 --> 01:05:15,944
Maggie
- mmm

585
01:05:17,148 --> 01:05:19,877
why do you have to give
me such hard time?

586
01:05:33,301 --> 01:05:37,010
<i>When Buck earned 16,000 dollars
in five minutes for John Thornton,</i>

587
01:05:37,011 --> 01:05:40,405
<i>he made it possible his master
pay of certain debts.</i>

588
01:05:40,406 --> 01:05:44,286
<i>and to journey into the East
after a fabled lost mine.</i>

589
01:05:44,287 --> 01:05:48,281
<i>the history of which was as old as the
history of the country.</i>

590
01:05:49,147 --> 01:05:51,770
<i>Many men had sought it; few had found it;</i>

591
01:05:51,771 --> 01:05:56,215
<i>and more than a few there were who had
never returned from the quest.</i>

592
01:06:06,512 --> 01:06:07,715
Bye
- Good luck

593
01:06:12,046 --> 01:06:14,984
<i>From the beginning there had been an ancient
and ramshackle cabin.</i>

594
01:06:16,109 --> 01:06:17,580
<i>Dying men had sworn to it.</i>

595
01:06:17,581 --> 01:06:19,882
<i>and to the mine which it marked,</i>

596
01:06:20,279 --> 01:06:21,734
<i>clinching their testimony with nuggets</i>

597
01:06:21,735 --> 01:06:25,235
<i>unlike any known grade of gold in the
Northland</i>

598
01:06:33,180 --> 01:06:36,474
<i>John Thornton asked little of man or nature.</i>

599
01:06:36,475 --> 01:06:38,377
<i>He was unafraid of the wild.</i>

600
01:06:39,082 --> 01:06:42,198
<i>With a handful of salt and a rifle he could
plunge into the wilderness</i>

601
01:06:42,199 --> 01:06:46,710
<i>and fare wherever he pleased and
as long as he pleased.</i>

602
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:48,540
<i>this was Indian country</i>

603
01:06:49,201 --> 01:06:51,475
<i>Being in no haste, Indian fashion,</i>

604
01:06:51,476 --> 01:06:54,906
<i>he hunted and fished for his dinner
in the course of the day's travel.</i>

605
01:07:00,372 --> 01:07:04,183
<i>Lying next to Thornton dozing
lazily in the heat of the day</i>

606
01:07:04,184 --> 01:07:07,620
<i>Irresistible impulses were beginning
seized Buck.</i>

607
01:07:42,324 --> 01:07:43,645
<i>The months came and went,</i>

608
01:07:43,646 --> 01:07:48,565
<i>and at the end of all there wandering
they found not he lost cavern</i>

609
01:07:48,566 --> 01:07:51,081
<i>but a shallow mine
in a broad valley</i>

610
01:07:52,070 --> 01:07:53,072
<i>they sought no further.</i>

611
01:08:49,282 --> 01:08:50,132
Wolves howl

612
01:08:50,881 --> 01:08:53,944
<i>The call still sounding in the
depths of the forest.</i>

613
01:08:53,945 --> 01:08:58,582
<i>It filled Buck with a great unrest
and strange desires.</i>

614
01:08:58,972 --> 01:09:03,505
<i>he was aware of wild yearnings and stirrings
for he knew not what.</i>

615
01:09:04,899 --> 01:09:07,034
<i>he pursued the call into the forest.</i>

616
01:09:07,035 --> 01:09:08,035
<i>running the dim twilight</i>

617
01:09:08,036 --> 01:09:13,091
<i>seeking for the mysterious something
that called him to come.</i>

618
01:09:30,826 --> 01:09:32,414
Whistles

619
01:10:02,660 --> 01:10:03,675
Buck barks

620
01:10:05,580 --> 01:10:09,135
A there you are
now it's time for breakfast ah

621
01:10:11,001 --> 01:10:16,722
Buck barks...
and Wolves howl

622
01:10:21,977 --> 01:10:25,166
<i>From the forest
came the call</i>

623
01:10:26,035 --> 01:10:28,637
<i>distinct and definite as never before,</i>

624
01:10:28,672 --> 01:10:34,630
<i>a long-drawn howl, like, yet unlike,
any noise made by a dog.</i>

625
01:10:35,692 --> 01:10:38,451
<i>And he knew it, in the old familiar way</i>

626
01:10:38,452 --> 01:10:40,637
<i>as a sound heard before.</i>

627
01:10:41,801 --> 01:10:42,938
Wolf howls

628
01:11:38,285 --> 01:11:40,233
<i>Buck was wildly glad.</i>

629
01:11:40,234 --> 01:11:43,076
<i>He knew he was at last answering the call,</i>

630
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:44,720
<i>running by the side of his wood brother</i>

631
01:11:44,721 --> 01:11:48,180
<i>toward the place from where the call
surely came.</i>

632
01:11:48,181 --> 01:11:50,294
<i>He had done this thing before,</i>

633
01:11:50,295 --> 01:11:52,743
<i>somewhere in that dimly
remembered world</i>

634
01:11:52,744 --> 01:11:53,744
<i>and he was doing it again, now.</i>

635
01:12:27,140 --> 01:12:30,102
<i>Then Buck remembered John Thornton.</i>

636
01:12:46,579 --> 01:12:48,254
Wolves howling

637
01:13:22,184 --> 01:13:24,407
If you think you�re going to
sleep here

638
01:13:24,408 --> 01:13:26,738
you got another thing coming.

639
01:13:30,933 --> 01:13:31,751
Get out!

640
01:13:52,676 --> 01:13:56,190
<i>Buck never left camp
never let Thornton out of his sight.</i>

641
01:13:57,209 --> 01:13:59,946
<i>but while restlessness came back on him,</i>

642
01:14:00,925 --> 01:14:02,623
<i>he a thing of the wild</i>

643
01:14:02,624 --> 01:14:06,045
<i>come in from the wild
to sit by John Thornton�s fire</i>

644
01:14:06,882 --> 01:14:10,239
<i>and was haunted by recollections
of the wild brother,</i>

645
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,897
<i>Once again he took to wandering
in the woods,</i>

646
01:14:12,898 --> 01:14:15,748
<i>but the wild brother came no more.</i>

647
01:14:48,631 --> 01:14:50,196
There no gold here

648
01:14:54,549 --> 01:14:55,793
we go home tomorrow.

649
01:15:16,999 --> 01:15:18,663
Let's call it a day.

650
01:16:33,426 --> 01:16:35,717
<i>Buck had lessoned well</i>

651
01:16:35,718 --> 01:16:38,373
<i>he must be master
or be mastered.</i>

652
01:16:38,892 --> 01:16:40,663
<i>but to show mercy was a weakness.</i>

653
01:16:40,698 --> 01:16:44,193
<i>Mercy did not exist in the
primordial life.</i>

654
01:16:44,194 --> 01:16:46,023
<i>It was misunderstood for fear,</i>

655
01:16:46,058 --> 01:16:49,230
<i>and such misunderstandings
made for death.</i>

656
01:16:50,204 --> 01:16:53,330
<i>Kill or be killed,
eat or be eaten,</i>

657
01:16:53,331 --> 01:16:54,331
<i>was the law.</i>

658
01:18:26,380 --> 01:18:27,201
BUCK!

659
01:18:41,459 --> 01:18:43,793
Whoa whoa
Yhea

660
01:18:47,444 --> 01:18:48,995
Mumbles to himself

661
01:19:03,414 --> 01:19:04,169
Buck

662
01:20:16,091 --> 01:20:18,570
<i>All day Buck brooded by
Thornton�s body</i>

663
01:20:18,571 --> 01:20:21,858
<i>Death, as a cessation of movement</i>

664
01:20:22,319 --> 01:20:24,809
<i>as a passing out and away from
the lives of the living,</i>

665
01:20:24,810 --> 01:20:25,810
<i>He knew</i>

666
01:20:25,811 --> 01:20:28,841
<i>and he knew John Thornton was dead.</i>

667
01:20:28,842 --> 01:20:32,615
<i>It left a great void in him, somewhat
akin to hunger,</i>

668
01:20:32,616 --> 01:20:35,643
<i>but a void which ached and ached,</i>

669
01:20:35,644 --> 01:20:38,608
<i>and which food could not fill.</i>

670
01:20:40,250 --> 01:20:41,224
<i>And with the coming of the night,</i>

671
01:20:41,225 --> 01:20:43,599
<i>brooding and mourning by the river,</i>

672
01:20:44,180 --> 01:20:47,652
<i>Buck became alive to a stirring
of the new life in the forest.</i>

673
01:20:49,662 --> 01:20:50,584
<i>It was the call,</i>

674
01:20:50,585 --> 01:20:55,240
<i>sounding more alluringly and compellingly
than ever before.</i>

675
01:20:56,015 --> 01:20:59,272
<i>And as never before, he was ready to obey.</i>

676
01:20:59,273 --> 01:21:03,573
<i>John Thornton was dead.
The last tie was broken.</i>

677
01:21:03,574 --> 01:21:08,699
<i>Man and the claims of man
no longer bound him.</i>

678
01:21:50,742 --> 01:21:53,389
<i>And here may well end the story of Buck.</i>

679
01:21:54,862 --> 01:21:57,451
<i>The years were not many when the Yeehats
noted</i>

680
01:21:57,819 --> 01:21:59,493
a change in the breed of timber wolves;

681
01:21:59,668 --> 01:22:03,508
<i>or some were seen with splashes of
brown on head and muzzle,</i>

682
01:22:03,509 --> 01:22:06,042
<i>and with a rift of gold centring
down the chest.</i>

683
01:22:07,236 --> 01:22:08,868
<i>But more remarkable than this,</i>

684
01:22:09,708 --> 01:22:13,853
<i>the Yeehats tell of a Ghost Dog that
runs with the pack.</i>

685
01:22:13,854 --> 01:22:16,321
<i>they are afraid of this Ghost Dog,</i>

686
01:22:17,043 --> 01:22:18,691
<i>for it has cunning greater than they,</i>

687
01:22:18,692 --> 01:22:21,393
<i>stealing from their camps in fierce winters</i>

688
01:22:21,394 --> 01:22:25,949
<i>robbing their traps, slaying their dogs, and
defying their bravest hunters.</i>

689
01:22:25,950 --> 01:22:29,841
<i>there is a certain valley which they
never enter</i>

690
01:22:33,448 --> 01:22:34,946
<i>When the long winter nights come on</i>

691
01:22:34,947 --> 01:22:36,999
<i>and the wolves follow their meat</i>

692
01:22:37,833 --> 01:22:39,822
<i>he may be seen running at the
head of the pack</i>

693
01:22:39,823 --> 01:22:42,200
<i>through the pale moonlight</i>

694
01:22:42,201 --> 01:22:44,881
<i>leaping gigantic above his fellows</i>

695
01:22:44,882 --> 01:22:50,305
<i>his great throat a-bellow as he sings a
song of the younger world,</i>

696
01:22:51,329 --> 01:22:54,245
<i>which is the song of the pack.</i>
