PI'ILANI: The story I need to tell you is true.

I offer and dedicate it to my people

with whom I share the same bone,

the same blood...

the Native Hawaiian.

[♪♪♪]

Aloha is that pearl beyond all else in life.

Aloha is remembrance

for the days we walked in beauty

as children of the land.

His name was Ko'olau...

meaning "Stands Against the Wind."

We had been together, and in love...

[CATTLE LOWING]

...since we were children indeed,

and we grew our precious family here,

at our birth sands on this island of Kaua'i.

[♪♪♪]

PI'ILANI: There is a season for the gentle breezes.

There is a season for the blustery winds.

There is a season for the rains to drench.

There is a season... for all the seasons.

Only don't grumble to me if he gets the runs.

Listen to the sheriff. Calm down, son!

[KO'OLAU PANTING]

Ma'am. Sorry to barge in on you like this

in the middle of the night.

[♪♪♪]

But looks like it's a good thing we came when we did.

My, my... how you've grown.

My boy says he hasn't seen you in school in a long time.

And I can't say I seen you or the missus

at church in quite a spell.

It's been reported you're showing signs of leprosy.

Is that true, Ko'olau?

If you don't answer,

I will assume that you are sick,

which requires me to inspect

you and any and all of those potentially exposed.

[IN HAWAIIAN]

We are here by the written order

of President Dole of the Republic of Hawaii.

We don't speak that shit!

Speak English, boy.

Show me.

[GRUNTING]

He's got it, all right! Sure as shit.

Not a doubt in the world.

I'm sorry, Pi'ilani.

We have to see you too.

You too, kid.

PI'ILANI: No, please.

Listen to uncle.

[IN HAWAIIAN]

Kalei!

[♪♪♪]

Ugh!

Oh yeah, right there.

He's got it too.

[GRUMBLING SIGH]

Kaluai Ko'olau, we are obligated by law

to take you and your son, Kaleimanu,

to the designated quarantine area

for immediate transport.

PI'ILANI: No!

Then I will go with them.

No. Ma'am, you show no signs...

I am permitted

to go with my family as a kokua, a helper,

as the ancient law declares.

Absolutely not.

The new government does not allow it.

Only those with the sickness will be taken,

and no one else.

You're young, and pretty...

You'll have no problem finding another.

[GRUNTING ANGRILY]

Start over.

[STRUGGLING]

Uh-uh! That's it.

All right. Get him dressed. Tie him up.

[GUNSHOT ECHOES]

Evening, Sheriff.

I never know your new job promotion

included rounding up women and children

in the middle of the night.

You're pointing that thing at a lawman,

and I'm carrying out the law. [SPITTING]

What kind of lawman

and what kind of law

takes away citizens in the dark of night,

'specially with the likes of these vermin?

There's only one of you, old man,

and three of us.

This here's buckshot.

And if I know Ko'olau,

he'd gladly take a hit for his family.

Can't say the same for you lot.

These here men have been deputized,

and they're doing these islands a service.

A service? Ha!

This boy, he could've given it to my son.

This boy is family.

And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you

take him and his pa anywhere.

Now, you folks get off my ranch.

just died with the sheriff.

They gonna come at you with one army.

Go! Go now!

You are here to show us the way, Marshal.

There's a good man.

Yes, now, man!

Yes, sir! You heard the Captain! Climb!

You know, we wouldn't be in this hell

What about the diseases

your people brought to the islands?

Did you just say something to me?

Malaria.

Gunnery sergeant! Prepare to roll!

Yes, sir! Right away!

Babcock!

You and your men guard their rear!

Captain?

May I advise a more stealthy approach?

Those lava tubes, they run for miles, with many exits.

They could easily esca-- Yes. Thank you, Marshal.

May I remind you that you are here to track?

Not advise.

You show us the way, now. There's a good man.

Yes, sir.

Sergeant Grimes! Yes, sir?

Pull your men up on the right. Double-time.

We force them from these caves and cliffs.

to feed my family.

So...

so, you're helping the haole kill my family

to help your family?

No, we're here to bring you to another place,

so the disease will not spread.

My father said the sickness will not spread

if we stay in the valley.

He has told me we need to be brave

and the Creator will protect us.

Your father is right.

You are very brave.

He is watching us right now.

Find where he watches us from...

[SURF RUMBLES AND CRASHES BELOW]

Beautiful view, eh, Marshal?

I used to come here, right to this place,

when I was a kid.

My papa, too,

and his papa.

You have children, yeah?

I had five daughters.

We lost two.

Malaria.

This is a good place to remember your girls.

Marshal?

What you doing with those people?

You was born in these islands.

And now you're serving the people who have stolen them.

I am sworn to uphold the law.

That is all.

Even when the laws are changed by men with their own agenda?

And what would you do...

if you was in my saddle?

Come with me now

and I promise you and your son safe passage to Moloka'i.

[CHUCKLING DERISIVELY]

"The island of the living grave"?

And what of my wife?

What of the bonds we made before the Creator?

Who are you to break such bonds?

Captain McCabe made a name for himself

by hunting down and killing the renegade, Quantrill.

And now you are the trophy he obsesses,

and he will not stop

until you are dead.

My son...

and my wife...

they are afraid of this Captain McCabe.

I am not.

I will defend them.

Till the end.

I would expect nothing less, sir.

Aloha, Marshal.

Aloha, Ko'olau.

[♪♪♪]

McCABE: Ko'olau the Leper

and the other renegades

have elected to resist with violence...

therefore,

no quarter will be given!

You are to shoot, on sight,

any and all fugitives,

regardless of weapon, gender, or age.

Sir... that goes against our directives from Honolulu.

[WINCING]

I believe that Ko'olau is a man of some principle.

McCABE: I see, Marshal.

Well, a man with a conscience...

is far easier to break.

It's that one-eighth of a second's hesitation

that seals his fate.

I can't imagine

that Quantrill had much of a conscience.

[CHUCKLING]

Quantrill?

Oh, he was a sick bastard.

Cold-hearted killer.

But he did love his horse.

So I set a trap to break his horse's leg.

And that put him in the right mind

for me to give him his medicine.

These are from... President Dole.

Have a look.

Evidently...

...the international press has caught wind

of our little engagement in the jungle.

Embarrassing for all of us, wouldn't you say?

A disappointment.

Captain,

I am committed to seeing this through...

but I will not play a part

in murdering women and children.

You speak of murder?

[McCABE SCOFFS]

You...

are a man of conscience.

I'll try not to hold it against you...

...and I'll hope it's not what ends you...

My husband and son

had found their true place of refuge.

Our sacred oath was honored and fulfilled.

No man, no government

could break the bonds of marriage and family.

There is a name

that shall never be forgotten in Hawai'i...

a name that means "Stands Against the Wind,"
