A little pause... Los

Angeles, gate number 33.

Arriving passenger, Francis Morse, please come to the white courtesy telephone.

Next, please.

Now, what's the purpose of your visit?

Uh, passing through.

The place has changed.

Red, got the rig fixed, eh?

Was the blow plate on the axle, wasn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we're in the truck.

I thought you wanted you back for tomorrow.

Who's that you got with your beer?

I need a beer.

Here, Parnell, you'll want something.

Hey, hey, get him down, get him down.

Oh, man used to poke about him all the time.

He said Fawley was a commander in the woods.

And I heard he ran capital in Colorado.

Right.

That was later.

That was a dream where it's made roads improve.

Don't sign.

Hey, tell me, St. Chris is locked once.

He's got money back for 50 miles to get him to a doctor.

What?

Call Kristen.

The very same.

Don't turn.

Hi, Princess.

I got it.

I got it.

How many times I told you not to go out of the counter?

What do you think we got

to... Hi, folks, fill her up.

Yeah, sure.

Come on, let's get something to eat.

What would you like to eat?

I don't know yet, honey.

If he's anything like this old man, he won't be hiring me.

He'll be doing anything.

If he's doing anything, he'll be doing anything.

Old Mount Foley didn't believe in two class people.

One to work and the other to pay.

No.

You know he cut out that place up in the mountains all by himself, yes?

This is the second one.

Come on.

Oh, I don't believe it.

Oh, come on.

Sean!

Sean!

Where are you?

Sean!

Christian!

Christian!

Christian!

Hello?

Yeah.

You've come how?

Going up to my dad's farm.

Well, I will be goddamned.

Got to lay the ghosts.

What the hell are you doing down there?

Cutting it, Justin.

Cutting it for scrap.

I told them they'd run out of trees.

How long are you staying?

I'm not.

You mean you're going up right away?

Yep.

So, I'll see you when?

In a month?

I love you, Christian.

But you don't hear.

You just don't listen.

I'm not coming back this way.

What do you say?

There's nothing up there.

Here you have friends.

People who care.

And that's a comfort, that is.

I'm not into hanging around.

You've got to understand that.

We wait around together, huh?

You and I have plans, remember?

Our ashes into the sea.

We swore to it, by God.

You were always so damn stubborn.

Is it pride or are you just trying to look something down?

Eh, senor ornery, I say.

Who the hell ever knows what you're thinking?

Time to go.

Oh, sure.

Sure!

30, 40 years past.

Just a holiday for you.

Just passing through.

Slumming!

Well, if you want to go, you go.

Truth is, I can't stop you.

So, this is how it ends.

In a stinking handshake.

Well, no.

By God, no.

You're a coward, Foley.

You're running out.

Not on me, but on yourself.

A man has a duty to take care of himself and his friends.

Foley, why don't you stay here with me?

Be good.

Because it isn't me.

Oh, don't argue.

Because you're not me and this isn't me.

You're saying me.

There she is.

Beg me trees.

The finest dancer south of the equator.

How are you?

Tell me.

Did you ever marry him to make it legal?

Ha!

Tog piss!

Patrick just got here.

Now he says he's leaving.

Well, he's old enough to know what he's doing.

Young enough to try it again.

You don't understand.

He's not well.

Ease off, Christian.

Ease off!

He looks okay to me.

That's not the point.

Are you taking medicine?

Nielsen.

You crazy old war coon!

No, God damn it!

It ain't right!

Nielsen!

What the hell's eating you?

Orphine.

I'm not gonna let him do it!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

No, no, I'm not gonna let you do it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

I'm not letting you leave for that valley to die alone.

I'll break his bloody leg first.

Doesn't look like much has changed.

That's you?

Have I gone blind as well?

Well, I left here to...

I went on a walkabout.

I'm in the station, don't forget all.

I was mayor of a town, population 35.

I fell in love and had some kids.

Oh, just about drove me crazy.

God!

The bush goes on forever out there, so...

I come back here to the trees.

Same as you, I reckon.

Well, my dancing days are done and...

the hogging shoes don't fit no more.

So I... I feed and I care and talk to the animals and...

I'm not even gonna ask why you're here.

Oh, me brother Rodney died.

Oh, must be going on 14 years, you know.

I... I never thought I'd get arthritis enough.

I'm getting this.

I got a present for you.

Oh, what a test out of... one to no... no tellin' with the likes of you.

Ah... ten and right pretty hand-tied flies.

Pretty bag.

The Indian that gave it to him, he said he'd keep the evil spirits away.

What?

He'd been... He'd been fishing a long time.

Thanks for the hat.

Wish I could go.

Goddamn gammy-leg.

What do I ever do to you?

My head hurt the stroke, not you.

Why don't you take a horse?

Haven't you been hearing me?

I've been trying to tell you that... Oh, I hear you.

But I'm gonna give you that one back.

You get that?

Stud's real old, but...

his heart's big.

Looks like Seraphis.

Hello.

That's his cult.

He's more than twenty-five.

He'll take you to the river, then...

turn him loose.

He's out there.

He'll go in my place.

Good morning.

Yeah, good luck.

Hope you find the place you're lookin' for.

Oh, we'll find it, alright.

Spotted it last night.

Marked off on an old logging mat.

Boss, we need more coffee?

Fishing around here, you know.

Third up country for this.

What's your name, son?

Oh... Sean.

Sean Daly.

Took a fancy to this thing there, didn't you?

Yeah.

What is it?

This is a genuine American Indian magic medicine bag.

No.

Yes, sir.

Indian.

Given to me by the son of...

Big Chief Redfeather himself.

Yeah?

Wow.

Well, say I was to lend this to you.

Yeah.

Because it'll keep evil spirits from you.

Might

be a good idea to take a shortcut.

Yeah.

We sure are in the middle of nowhere.

Cross.

Are you sure we're not lost?

The math hasn't been wrong so far, has it?

Yes, sir.

Can be honest.

Yes, sir.

Well, what do you think so far, darling?

Isn't it something?

Beautiful.

Makes you wonder whether we should even be here.

It's almost too beautiful.

Yee-haw!

Oh, Ross!

Well, what did we come for?

If it wasn't to have fun...

Come on!

Come on in!

It's too cold.

It's not too cold.

Hey, come on.

It's important.

It's freezing.

I know it's cold.

Hey, come on.

You can do it.

I know it's cold.

Mountain water's cold.

It's great!

Look!

Woo!

Sweetheart, go easy on the board.

He's only ten.

Leave a little company.

Leave a little shortcut.

Sweetheart, is there any way we can get another station?

I think we're too far out to pick up anything.

Sean, stop eating those Fritos.

You're gonna spoil your dinner.

Sean!

All right!

Sean!

Come on, Dad!

Look at this!

Sean!

Please, get away from that edge!

Do you have any idea how dangerous that is, Sean?

Please, be careful.

Honey, why don't you relax?

There's no harm done.

All he did was throw a rock.

Look, why don't you let me talk to the boy while you go and start dinner?

Look, son.

Your mother's right.

It is dangerous.

You go get some firewood.

I'll move the camper away from the edge.

Right, Dad.

Ross, what are you doing?

Ross!

Mommy!

Mommy, can you hear me?

Mommy!

Can you hear me?

Mommy, can you hear me?

Hey!

And

this is the second one.

And this is the second one.

A little pause... A little pause...

A little pause...

No sense.

No damn sense at all.

You make too much noise.

Couldn't stalk a butterfly.

Remember we had chocolate chip cookies?

And ice cream?

And it was so good.

I have warm clothes.

I used to get lots of toys.

Mom used to cook everything for me and Dad.

Like pot roast, baked potatoes, chocolate cake.

Dad and I used to go to the basketball games.

And we used to go to the Ram games.

What the hell can I do?

Can't take him back.

Not enough time.

I'd never make it.

Can't teach him.

Can't take him with me.

What the hell good would it do?

He's past pain.

Out of his head already.

He's better off.

Ooh, what the hell is playing with my body?

Not everyone is playing.

Am I supposed to play?

He's also playing.

He's playing.

Oh my God.

I'm pretty sure he knows this.

Don't play in

the game.

What?

He is playing.

If you want to share the fire, you'll bet your own wood.

Your own!

You're half dead.

Together that makes one of us.

There is no more.

Nothing.

Unless you bring it in.

Yeah.

I saw.

They're gone.

They're gone, and you're not.

All right.

What's your name, child?

I said, what's your name?

All

right, all right.

Now, look.

I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen to me.

I want you to listen to me good, because I'm going to tell you about this stick.

Because it acts like a compass.

Now, in the morning time, you point this right-hand stub to the sun.

But you walk the way this stub points.

Okay?

Now, in the afternoon, you point this stub to the sun.

But you keep on walking the way this stub points.

Now, you got that?

And at night time, put the stick on the ground,

with the handle pointing toward the southern cross.

But in the morning, the middle one points the way you gotta go.

The middle one points north.

North, kid.

North.

North.

Why are you out here all alone and so helpless?

Damn it to hell, youngster.

You're on your own.

Look.

I'll tell you what you do.

You just follow that stream.

You just follow the water downstream.

And you run into other streams, but you just

keep on going and follow the water downhill.

And then you come to a railroad track.

And you take those tracks to the left, to the north.

And in a couple of days, you'll find someone or...

somebody will find you.

Like I said, what's your name?

If you're gonna make it, you gotta try.

My name is... My name!

My name is... My name!

My name is... My name!

My name?

My name?

My name?

Is... Wait!

Wait!

My... My... My name?

Here!

Here!

Sir!

Sir!

Where the devil did you get that?

That bag used to belong to... Red feather!

Red feather!

It keeps away evil spirits.

That's right.

I know the bag.

You keep it.

I'm hungry!

I... I... I... Um... Can you give me some food?

Please?

Our... Our caravan went over... Over the cliff!

It had all the food!

Good.

Got rest.

Please.

Food.

Food.

Hungry.

Why don't you go back?

Just follow the stream down.

You get just as much chance of making it as you did before.

I... I want... I want to go back... back to my... my... my... my...

my... my... my... my... my... Papa.

Your Mama's dead.

And your Papa's dead.

And that's the hard truth.

Just like my folks are dead.

And some day you're gonna die, just like some day I'm going to die.

But until then you fight like Hell to stay alive.

You get that?

And you're on your own.

Because I'm not even here to help you.

You're in my way.

Bothersome, sissy kid.

And I don't even know who you are!

Daly.

I'm Sean Daly!

Me!

I'm Sean Daly!

My name's Foley.

Patrick Foley.

If

I had my fish or what, I'd eat you.

And I'd catch you.

And I wouldn't be staring at you right now.

I'd have you on my hook.

He's so good.

You're not only a whining kid that wastes his time, you're also deaf and half-blind.

Sure, you can hear me now.

But do you listen to that water?

Can you hear those birds back there?

Can you hear the insects?

And the wind?

And the trees creaking and rubbing?

You're deaf to those frogs down there.

And the sun pinging off of these rocks.

You're deaf to your own heartbeat.

And me coming up behind you.

My God, boy, there's a whole symphony going on here.

And you can't hear a thing.

Don't talk to those fish.

Catch them!

You're mean.

You're not even nice.

My dad was nice.

And he was the best fisherman in the whole world.

If I had a fishing pole right now, I'd get that fish.

I wouldn't even give you any.

I get them.

I don't talk to them.

I see where they're laying.

Big fat ones.

Down there in the cool.

Out of the sun.

Just waiting for a bug to drift by.

So I move like a lazy driftwood log.

Then I wait.

Then I wait.

Then I wait.

Then real slow.

That's how I outsmart all those wonderful creatures.

Ow!

Boy, that's using your noodle.

There.

I want you to climb up on my shoulders.

Come on, just put your foot right here.

No, all the other foot.

Nice hand here.

Okay.

Come on, I'll try it again.

Here we go.

That's it, boy.

Now step up.

That's okay.

I got you.

Now step up.

Okay, now take that hat off and fill it up.

This trap needs...

a little adjustment.

There you go.

Now give me some of those berries you've been hiding in your pocket.

Come on, I know you've been hiding them.

The man out here's got only one thing to think of.

It's staying alive.

When he isn't thinking of ways to stay alive, he's dying.

Slow but sure, he's losing ground.

I hear something.

Why don't you go out there and check around.

It's dark out there.

It's scary out there.

Well there's nothing to be scared of.

Use your nose and your ears.

Anybody can tell you, you don't use your eyes to see in the dark.

It was a rabbit.

What makes you think so?

Rabbits don't make any noise.

So it was a rabbit.

You looked with your ears, huh?

And you didn't see anything.

Good.

I'll get to where I'm going in a few days.

There's a nice hot bath waiting for me there.

It's all there.

Down to that peak.

At the end of the valley.

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Bowie!

Easy now.

She grabbed my arm.

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

No, she took my rabbit!

It's an aborigin, ain't it?

No!

Monster!

No, no, no.

Now listen to me.

You shared your food.

With the people that the white man has driven out.

You ought to be proud and honored.

Make a decision.

Don't call it.

Don't call it!

Oh, don't call

it.

Let me pack down.

To 'nana let me...

Father wants to ditch me.

But God will punish him, won't you God?

Anyway, I have his rabbit.

I have your rabbit, Pat!

And your spear!

You bats!

You should take a bat!

And I top that!

And I top that to you!

No, Foley.

I can see your footsteps.

Now that's dumb.

I mean dumb.

I mean really dumb.

You're trapped in the sun.

That's what you're doing.

Why are you so...

I can see you, Foley!

You're on your own.

We're all on our own.

You can't blow me!

You got your life to lead and I've got mine!

I don't mind you!

Good!

Why are you all trying to get away from me?

If you're coming with me, you better move it in fast!

Look behind you!

Hey!

You got nothing to worry about.

Just start climbing.

Those dogs can't get you there.

Help me!

Help me!

Are you coming or not?

Help me!

You've got to help yourself.

Those dogs will get me!

No reason for me to climb back down there.

I can't climb either!

You're gonna have to help yourself.

I can't... Well, you can just go on back.

Cause I sure as hell don't need you.

Like I said... You gonna stay down there all day?

I can't move!

Those dogs will kill me!

Yeah, they might eat you up.

Hook you out in cute little piles and make the flowers grow.

That doesn't matter.

What matters is that rabbit.

Now I got a fire going.

If you get up here, I'll cook it for you.

Okay, I'll give you a piece.

I want half!

All right.

But you get up here in a few minutes.

Otherwise, I'm gonna pitch on the fire and go!

Daddy!

I'm gonna pitch on the fire!

I'm gonna pitch on the fire!

Use your legs!

The strongest muscle you got!

Put the power to them!

Polly, I'm afraid!

Help me, please!

You're the one that's making a nightmare out of it!

So why don't you try a little harder?

First thing you know, you'll be right up here next to the fire!

I lied.

Anyway, your nose should have told you I was lying.

Well, come on.

Bring your rabbit.

I'll build a fire.

You can go find your own!

How

come you always heard it?

Because I smoked too much when I was young.

Because I thought it was...

When I was a kid, it was smart to be dumb.

Stubborn.

Aren't you glad I went back and got your spear?

Why?

What for?

You dropped it.

Wanna know how I found you here?

I remembered the sun.

I saw your footprints.

You know, that was just dumb leaving them around.

Maybe I'm growing old.

Get whiteheads?

Like I said...

If you forget to ask your mind what it's thinking...

You grow old.

You know... My dad, he had three whiteheads.

Yeah.

Yeah, but my mom always kept on pulling them out.

Got to get meat.

Wait a minute, you know... You know, we gotta go back there.

You know... They're just... They're all alone.

You know, they're lost.

I wanna do it in my valley.

No, we just can't leave them there.

You know?

A man can die eating nothing but rabbit.

You gotta have fat.

That's why I wanted the wombat.

If you recognize the Cravens...

Your body will tell you what it wants.

What do you think those little white things were... I cooked up with the fish?

Rice?

Where am I gonna get rice?

That was almost pure fat.

Where'd you get them?

From under a log.

What were they?

Worms.

Grub worms.

Yuck.

Well, what are you looking for?

Sign.

What sign?

Spore.

Signs.

Tracks.

Dropping.

Animals are a lot like people.

You can tell a lot about them from what they leave behind.

And if you're hungry enough, you look for sign.

Huh.

What's this?

That's a kangaroo sign.

Looks a lot like a large rabbit poop to me.

Are we gonna get there today?

Tomorrow.

How come?

Something I swore I'd never do on the other side.

In my valley.

Giving the rock up is hard, but setting the trigger is a bitch.

Hey, get the hell out of there!

You're gonna smell the place up!

You got him!

It's a wallaby.

Glad it wasn't any bigger.

We don't want what we can't use.

How come you put the fish down there?

We needed meat.

I didn't want that wallaby warned about that deadfall trap.

Those fish were for that eagle up there.

Hmm.

You see, the eagle and the kangaroo are friends.

And those fish told the eagle that I'd ask for permission to do what I did.

Otherwise, he would have told the kangaroo to go the other way.

Hmm.

It may be an old aborigine superstition.

But if it is, then why was that eagle up there just

at the time that I wanted to trap the kangaroo?

If you're not leaving this valley, how come you're climbing out of it?

It's a valley within a valley.

It isn't easy to find or get into.

I've never been put on a map that once was...

Oh, but that was just an old, old map.

I made that map...

about 40 years ago.

The

place we're going to.

This must be the valley the old man told us about.

It was on a map.

The farthest place anyone lived.

I've never seen anything like this.

The old man said it was beautiful.

And special.

Yeah.

It's who I think it is.

He'd know better than most.

The first place.

What place is this?

This is a magic place.

When I was about your age, my father carved this out of the wilderness.

This is where I thought all the heroes in the

world would come to walk, talk with each other.

This looks like a broken-down old house to me.

Now, maybe.

But not then.

But so far away from everything.

Where'd you go to school?

A church.

Never went to school.

This was my school.

The land.

My father tried to teach me.

To take only from the earth and people.

What I could give.

I could learn more in a week here than...

When I was a young man then.

Full of angry apples.

Didn't understand.

So I left.

Always expecting more.

Always wanting more.

I thought I didn't need them.

How long can we stay here?

Oh, for a while.

What you doing?

I'm gonna bury this man-made junk I brought in.

Stuff doesn't belong here.

Nothing belongs here that wasn't born here.

I'm gonna bury it.

I'm gonna bury this man.

I'm gonna bury this man.

Come on.

No, I'm gonna bury this man.

Get your own fish.

I'm

gonna bury this man.

Please.

I

thought you might be hungry.

There's something I've been meaning to ask you.

Will you ever get married?

I loved once.

Only once.

She loved to dance.

And I loved to sing.

We were wild horses.

But then Christian and I were... soldiers of fortune.

Had to win the world.

I thought I could never come back here unless I had the world in my pocket.

It's almost like... someone else's dream.

All those wasted years... trying to find out who I was.

You're Foley.

Patrick Foley.

Yeah.

And you're Daley.

Sean Daley.

Foley?

Yeah.

My clothes stink.

Wash them.

Want

a pig?

Got you.

Don't pet me.

You're dead.

Listen.

Listen to me.

You're here because your folks died too fast.

And I couldn't take you out because there wasn't time.

We'd have never made it.

So when you leave this valley tomorrow...

I want you to take a good look from the top of that rocky crag we passed.

I want you to take me.

I want you to show me the way.

You don't need me, son.

Just remember.

Go north.

You'll make it.

Anything you need will be in a pack that I've fixed up for you.

I

don't want my parents off anymore.

They're in your heart.

Yeah.

People only die if you forget them.

But if you leave me... I'm gonna die.

I...

You said.

I said nothing.

I promised you nothing.

I didn't ask you to come along.

You came along on your own as it should be.

And you'll leave on your own as it should be.

I don't wanna leave.

You can't make me leave.

Please don't make me leave.

Please don't.

You've got to.

I hate you, I really hate you.

I know.

I know you do.

Sean.

You lost your folks.

And a lifetime ago, I lost mine.

And buried them here.

But I always made the mistake of thinking that

today was some sort of rehearsal for tomorrow.

Don't ever do that.

I'm afraid.

Afraid?

Well, it's nothing to be afraid of except the cold wind

that will kill you just for standing around looking dumb.

I love you.

I love you.

I never told my father that I couldn't touch him.

Listen to what I say, child, and remember it.

Sleep on soft leaves and shelter a fallen tree.

And eat whatever looks and tastes and smells good.

Look to the creeks for food.

The water plants and young plants are tender.

Catch frogs.

Eat flowers.

Peel away bark and eat roots that aren't too bitter.

And seeds.

And berries that aren't too red.

Except raspberries and blackberries.

It doesn't keep wet all the evil spirits.

Oh,

it seems so long.

I hope I'll be strong.

Afraid.

Afraid.

On my own.

I think of you.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

To lives the world apart.

You were reached for me.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I'm halfway home.

I Will my dream be worth the dream if you can't share it?

I was lost until you came.

Now you're gone, but like you said, I'm not the same.

I'm not sure.

What will be the part of you I take with me this night.

But not alone with

me.

I'll come away.
