100:01:00,727 --> 00:01:06,525Alask

1
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:06,525
Alaska

2
00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:32,778
Quincy Air Service to Super Cub
nine-zero-niner Tango, do you copy?

3
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:37,449
This is zero-niner Tango, go ahead.

4
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:42,120
Did you drop the hikers off in Denali?
- Roger that, Charlie.

5
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:45,374
They're in a heat wave,
just above freezing.

6
00:02:45,541 --> 00:02:48,293
What's your position?
Still on schedule?

7
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:52,506
You bet.
ETA at Quincy's about 1700 hours.

8
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:56,635
See you then, Charlie.
Zero-niner Tango, clear.

9
00:02:56,802 --> 00:03:01,765
Okey-doke, partner.
This is Quincy Air Service, clear.

10
00:04:25,557 --> 00:04:29,728
Magnificent creature, the polar bear.

11
00:04:31,063 --> 00:04:33,357
Nature's perfect carnivore,

12
00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:37,653
adapted to the most
hostile climate on earth.

13
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,865
Yeah, it's a beauty.

14
00:04:42,032 --> 00:04:47,663
It's also, along with the leopard,
one of the few animals that hunts man.

15
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:51,667
How do you feel, Mr.
Koontz, to realize...

16
00:04:51,834 --> 00:04:54,169
...you're not on top
of the food chain?

17
00:04:54,336 --> 00:05:00,300
Feels like 10 or 20 grand to me, just
for the skin. I love this kind of hunt.

18
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:04,263
Your problem is,
you don't appreciate life's finer things.

19
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:08,851
Whatever.
- You don't hunt with a helicopter...

20
00:05:09,017 --> 00:05:12,604
...you don't hunt with a man
such as yourself.

21
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:15,899
This isn't hunting. This...

22
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:21,697
...is business.

23
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:51,351
A whale! Jessie, look, a whale!

24
00:05:55,314 --> 00:05:57,399
Cool!

25
00:06:09,453 --> 00:06:13,916
Those sea lions were awesome.
- They were great.

26
00:06:16,168 --> 00:06:18,921
Well, we're home.

27
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,342
Race you back.
- Think you can handle it?

28
00:06:23,509 --> 00:06:26,053
It is a long way.

29
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:29,515
Last one buys the ice cream!
- I wanna start again!

30
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:31,975
Forget it!

31
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:44,530
Oh, man.
- I'll still win.

32
00:06:50,619 --> 00:06:54,456
Hey, Jessie!
- Come on, Chip, let's go!

33
00:06:57,084 --> 00:07:01,421
I won!
- You're nuts! Anyone can see, I won!

34
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:07,386
Chip, you wanna come over for dinner?
- All right. Oh, man, I can't.

35
00:07:07,553 --> 00:07:10,430
We're leaving first thing
in the morning.

36
00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:14,142
Where you going?
- A caribou hunt. Everyone's going:

37
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:18,897
My grandfather, uncles, cousins.
It's like this ritual to be a man.

38
00:07:19,064 --> 00:07:22,526
Good. Oh, my God! I'm late!
- Late for what?

39
00:07:22,693 --> 00:07:25,696
Hi, Mrs. Ben! Hey, Ben!

40
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:29,199
Watch it, Jessie!
- Sorry!

41
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:32,369
That girl's always in a hurry.

42
00:07:32,744 --> 00:07:34,830
Bye.

43
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,717
Three...

44
00:07:46,884 --> 00:07:49,678
...two, one.

45
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:59,271
Home Fire, this is Super Cub.
Do you read me, over?

46
00:07:59,438 --> 00:08:03,066
You're right on time, Dad.
- Aviator rule number one:

47
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:07,738
A pilot sticks to his schedule.
So, what are your numbers?

48
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:12,743
I left Denali at 1 1:55.
Course: 1-7-0 degrees.

49
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:15,037
Air speed: 80 knots.

50
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:19,875
Winds aloft about 25 knots
out of the southwest, over.

51
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:23,545
You should just be hitting...

52
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:27,799
...Devil's Thumb.
- That's a roger.

53
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:32,638
But I suggest you go around it.
- Whatever you say, sweetheart.

54
00:08:32,804 --> 00:08:37,059
Dinner smells good from here.
Is your brother helping?

55
00:08:37,226 --> 00:08:42,356
That's a big negative, niner Tango.
- Well, where is he?

56
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:46,985
My guess is, he's out shooting the
rapids or wrestling a grizzly bear.

57
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:52,157
Just being that Alaskan
mountain man we know and love.

58
00:08:57,913 --> 00:09:00,207
Cammy Wins!

59
00:09:01,834 --> 00:09:06,004
Thanks. See you later, Mrs. Ben.
- Thank you.

60
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:39,663
Don't worry. His squawk
is much bigger than his bite.

61
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,499
I wish you'd leave that bird at home.

62
00:09:42,666 --> 00:09:46,253
Why can't you keep a small dog?
Or a parakeet?

63
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:51,550
Don't say that in front of him,
you'll make him hungry.

64
00:09:51,717 --> 00:09:54,219
Easy there, big boy.

65
00:09:56,972 --> 00:10:00,225
Can you just sort out any mail
from Chicago?

66
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:04,771
He was there, you know.
- Where?

67
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:08,859
Great fires of 1935,
up the Yukon River.

68
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:12,237
I was a very young man,
hunting alone.

69
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:16,241
The forest fire jumped a ridge.
Winds were high...

70
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:20,621
...and flames were moving faster
than I could run.

71
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:23,957
There was no way out of the firestorm.

72
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:29,463
Then I looked up. And through
the smoke I saw an eagle...

73
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:35,344
...flying a circle. Something said
to me, "Trust the eagle".

74
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:38,388
It flew through the smoke
and I followed.

75
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:41,266
I just kept looking at the eagle...

76
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:46,438
...till the sky cleared
and the fire was behind me.

77
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:52,069
You've been watching too much TV. He
was trying to get away from the smoke.

78
00:10:52,236 --> 00:10:55,614
You were trying
to get away from the smoke?

79
00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:59,701
And I thought you were my tornak.
- Tornak?

80
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,371
He means his pet.

81
00:11:02,538 --> 00:11:07,543
My spirit guide. He's free to leave
whenever he wants.

82
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:11,463
Look, do you have any mail
for me or not?

83
00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:14,383
Sorry, son, not today.

84
00:11:33,986 --> 00:11:37,656
I'm stuck in the boonies.
- You're stuck in something.

85
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:40,993
Trust me, it ain't the boonies.

86
00:12:09,938 --> 00:12:12,691
Quincy traffic,
this is Super Cub...

87
00:12:12,858 --> 00:12:18,822
...two miles north. I'll be making
a straight-in final for the harbor.

88
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:10,666
Nice landing, Jake.
That's a stiff crosswind.

89
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:13,752
A landing you walk away from
is a good one.

90
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:17,381
You didn't say that
when you were flying 747s.

91
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:22,761
I could say anything as long as I didn't
spill the drinks in first class.

92
00:13:22,928 --> 00:13:26,056
I think you still miss it.
- Being stacked up...

93
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:31,311
...10 planes deep over O'Hare
in a blinding snowstorm?

94
00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:38,527
No. Up here,
I got wide open skies...

95
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:41,154
...beautiful scenery.

96
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,994
And what pilot wouldn't be satisfied
doing important work for his community.

97
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,623
The citizens of Quincy
are forever in your debt.

98
00:13:52,416 --> 00:13:55,460
Quincy Air Service.
Yeah, this is Jake.

99
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:58,964
Whatever they call ditching
where you come from...

100
00:13:59,131 --> 00:14:02,509
...around here, we call it truancy.
It's a crime.

101
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:06,180
We should cuff him to the dock.
Hang a sign on him:

102
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,640
"Big City Juvenile Delinquent".

103
00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:12,853
You'll look like an Alaskan
when you finish scrubbing the dock.

104
00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:15,105
It'll take forever!

105
00:14:15,272 --> 00:14:18,942
Long enough for you to appreciate
our delicate ecosystem.

106
00:14:19,109 --> 00:14:22,237
It wasn't my fault!
- Son, in Alaska...

107
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:26,241
...if it happens to you,
it's your fault.

108
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,913
Hey, Jake.
- Sam.

109
00:14:34,291 --> 00:14:36,793
I hate it here.

110
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,464
Look, I know this move's been tough...

111
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:45,802
...but sometimes people just need
to make a fresh start.

112
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,726
Open your eyes, son.
Look around.

113
00:14:53,477 --> 00:14:57,689
This is a paradise.
- For me it isn't.

114
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:04,446
Remember that year
you struck out 10 times in a row?

115
00:15:04,613 --> 00:15:07,366
Remember what I told you?
- Never give up.

116
00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:12,538
Now do I have to drag out that batting
trophy you won the very next year?

117
00:15:12,704 --> 00:15:16,416
Dad, that's Little
League. This is life!

118
00:15:32,224 --> 00:15:35,686
I got you guys
something up in Nome.

119
00:15:40,357 --> 00:15:45,696
Thanks, Dad. It's beautiful.
- Gee, thanks, Dad. A compass.

120
00:15:46,947 --> 00:15:50,158
What am I supposed to do
with a compass?

121
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:55,747
Well, you might try finding
your way with it, for a start.

122
00:15:57,541 --> 00:16:00,627
Chip and I went kayaking
eight miles today.

123
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:04,923
Eight miles!
Excuse me while I call CNN.

124
00:16:05,132 --> 00:16:08,302
His dad says I'm a fast learner.
- That's great.

125
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,929
We should go...
- What's wrong with you?

126
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:15,184
Don't start.
- Dad, you used to fly 747s.

127
00:16:15,392 --> 00:16:18,395
Now, you deliver toilet paper.

128
00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:29,239
Hello? Hey, Charlie!

129
00:16:32,576 --> 00:16:38,540
All right, get the ampicillin from the
clinic. I'll meet you in 15 minutes.

130
00
